[Episode 6]

Honey?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here, honey?

Hello, Ms. Cho.

I'm Kim Seon Min,
a show host who used to work...

with Producer Noh at Sweet Home Shopping.

I see. I think we've met before.

But with my husband...

- Actually...
- I couldn't get my contract renewed.

So I came to ask Producer Noh
if he could help me find a job.

But I got so upset
that I just burst into tears.

I see.

Then I'll get going first.

Producer Noh, thank you for today.

Okay. Let's talk again later.

Bye.

What do you think you're doing?

Did she really come to ask for a job?

Of course, she did.

What kind of weird ideas are you getting?

Seriously?

Someone from the company is coming.
Let's talk at home.

Why are you just standing there?

Sit.

Why are you dragging me around like this?

Hey, did you hear...

that you stole my spot at the broadcast?

Damn it.

Go back to Producer Kim right now,

and tell him you'll give it up to me.

What?

You've already been on air once.

Isn't that enough?
How greedy can you get?

I'm not doing that.

What?

Why not?

Doing a broadcast is important to me too.

I worked so hard for this opportunity.
Who are you to tell me to give it up?

Jjon Na Jeong.

You've gotten bold.

Did you forget
where you're living right now?

Should I remind you?

Unbelievable.

This thug of a girl...

is trying to solve everything
with threats.

You think I'm scared of you?

Just wait and see.

I'll settle this with pure skill.

She doesn't even research products,

and just runs her mouth.

Honey, you're home.

That show host from earlier.

She was bawling in front of you.

Well, like Seon Min said earlier,

she didn't get her contract renewed.

So she's trying to find new work,

but things aren't going well,
so she's stressed.

You went through it too,
so you know how that feels.

The economy's bad,

and hardly anyone's hiring show hosts,
so it's tough.

I know.

Even so, why was she crying
right in front of you, honey?

Is it because you couldn't say no again...

when people asked for favors?

Well, something like that.

Or do you and that woman
have something going on?

Seriously?

Trust your husband, will you?

Move.

What a temper.

As if someone timid like him
would ever have the guts anyway.

Anyway, how should I handle
Yang Mi Sook...

and her little schemes?

She's giving me a serious headache.

Why is this moving so fast?

Against someone who only runs her mouth,
a head-on approach works best.

I'll show her what I can do.

Okay.

Gas stove, induction.

Plating right away...

[Sweet Home Shopping]

Hello.

Feel free to use this.

- Thank you.
- Producer Kim.

These are for you two.

Thank you.

Ms. Yang, is this real?

No.

It's a dupe we sell on our website.

I brought it so you could all use it
without feeling burdened.

Even if it's a dupe,
you shouldn't give us things like this.

Come on, it's just a dupe.

Just use it comfortably.

Thank you, I will.

Unbelievable.

If you have any questions, ask me anytime.

Really? Thank you.

No, I should be thanking you.

- I'll see you later.
- Yes, see you.

- Yes.
- Thank you.

Have a good one.

Thank you.

Come here.

What do you think you're doing?

Why are you bribing the staff?

Weren't you the one
who wanted a fair and square match?

Do you call this fair and square?

You're being ridiculous.

You were already an employee here.

So this cannot be fair and square anyway.

All I've got is money.
What are you going to do about it?

I can't even.

I have a niece.

She majored in art.

She's a student,

but her grades...

Really?

I didn't know you needed
good college entrance exam scores.

She should've prepared properly, but...

Ms. Cho.

Yes?

When did I drop that?

I didn't even notice.

Wait a minute.

This...

You didn't have to do all this.

I know you'll do just fine.

You know what my only weapon is.

Hard work!

Hard work is all I've got.

Here you go.
Your hard work!

Hard work!

Hard work.

[Sweet Home Shopping Show Schedule]

[Shin Yu Ra, Cho Na Jeong]

Damn it.

[18181818]

Why are you calling while I'm working?

Why do you need to know that?

Why wouldn't I be making any money?

Hey.

If you ever lay a finger on my daughter,

I'll k*ll you.

If it weren't for me,

you'd still be some lowlife scammer
ripping people off in Dongdaemun.

Bring me my money while I'm asking nicely.

If not, I'll go to China, hunt you down,

and drag you out like...

Ma'am, it's me, Ri Ae's mom.

If anyone comes to the kindergarten and...

So you can just show me, can't you?

What's going on between you two?

Why do you want to see my texts?

I'm your wife.

- So you're not showing me?
- I mean, this is personal data...

Why can't you show me?

No. Honey, okay.

- I'll do it.
- Really? Show me.

- I'll show you.
- Okay.

Let go. Stay still.

- Hurry up and unlock it.
- Okay.

Why are you just standing there?

- Calm down.
- Hold on.

Just a second.

Seriously?

Ms. Hong.

You must be upset
you couldn't be the co-host.

But there's nothing we can do.

You'll get another chance soon.

It's okay.

Getting the opportunity out of nowhere
was too much for me anyway.

Cho Na Jeong has far more experience.

But...

Cho Na Jeong is married, right?

Why do you ask?

Nothing.

Did you hear something strange about her?

It's not that.

It's just that I saw her on the rooftop...

with some guy, and the vibe was flirty.

Did that guy look kind of like a giraffe?

You knew?

That man is Ms. Cho's husband.

He's a producer here.

Really?

Are you done for the day?

Yes.

Writing monitoring reports...

and sitting in on broadcasts
are exhausting.

I'd rather do the broadcast.

How long are they going to
keep us watching?

I know, right?

Someone is already
on the broadcast schedule,

while others are stuck as extras.

Exactly.

But did you two know...

that Cho Na Jeong's husband
is a producer here?

Really?

She was goofing around
with some guy on the rooftop,

and it turned out that was her husband.

- I see.
- I see.

Do you not get what I'm trying to say?

Isn't it strange
that only she keeps getting opportunities?

She used to work here,
and her husband is a producer here.

Of course, she'd get special treatment.

Is that so?

You're right.

Now that I think about it,

during the entrance test,

it felt like she was absolutely ready
and answered so smoothly.

I thought she was just good,

but maybe she already knew the questions.

Goodness, really?

Really?

Yes.

Now that I think about it,

there were several weird things.

Even when we had lunch before,

the other show hosts said
they'd heard she'd come back,

didn't they?

Then what are we doing here?

Are we just extras
who'll fade out in the end?

That can't happen.

I came here determined to make this work.

Honestly,

we probably shouldn't let this slide.

I'll make a separate group chat.

Let's talk there.

- That sounds good.
- Yes.

I knew something felt off.

The team leader plays favorites
with Ms. Cho,

and she's the only one
invited to company dinners.

And she's always had
that superiority vibe.

Like she's different
from people who did live commerce.

Do you think during the entrance test,

they gave her the questions in advance?

Mi Sook says it seems like it.

But if we only have suspicions
and no proof,

wouldn't we be accusing
an innocent person?

I have proof.

Really? What proof?

I used to work as a show host,

but after having kids,

I quit about six years ago.

Even when I wanted to work again,
I never got a chance.

Then I heard Sweet Home Shopping
was holding an information session,

so I applied.

Isn't this proof?

This shows she was already
in contact with the company.

No way.

Unbelievable.

Insane.

So it was all rigged from the start?

At this rate, she was pre-selected
from the beginning.

Yeah.

Exactly.

I can't even.

Everyone.

We all agree
we can't just let this slide, right?

Tomorrow, without Cho Na Jeong,

let's meet and talk among ourselves.

- Mom.
- Yeah?

A new girl joined our kindergarten,

and she's really pretty.

What?

Does my son now have a girlfriend
he likes more than Mom?

What's her name?

Joo Ri Ae.

Her dad lives in China,
and her mom lives in Korea.

Then is her dad Chinese?

No, but Ri Ae says
she doesn't want to go to China.

She says her stepmom is scary.

I see.

Joo Ri Ae.

Noh Min Woo.

Mom, this is my girlfriend.

Mom, this is my boyfriend.

What?

You're Joo Ri Ae's mom?

How in the world...

does fate work like this?

That's what I want to say.

They say you always run into your enemy
under the persimmon tree.

Persimmon tree?

Your jokes really are lame.

Anyway, Min Woo seems
to be getting close to Ri Ae.

So whenever you have time,
send her over to my place.

Are you crazy?

Let's go.

Mom, I want to play with Noh Min Woo.

Quiet.

You're not playing with him ever again.

Okay? Come here.

Joo Ri Ae.

Noh Min Woo.

Mom.

Mom, does this mean
I can't play with Joo Ri Ae anymore?

Why not?

- Well...
- Why not?

I mean...

Let's just go. Come on.

- Enjoy your meal.
- Thanks.

Hello.

Can I sit here?

Writing reports is exhausting, right?

Once we start broadcasting,
it'll get even crazier.

Come to think of it,

I don't think we've ever
grabbed a drink together.

Should we plan an intern get-together?

Yes?

You do that get-together alone.

We don't even know
if we'll become full hires.

Let's just grab coffee
since we're done with our meal.

This is hard.

Na Jeong doesn't know yet, right?

About Producer Noh and Seon Min
being like that.

She doesn't.

She'd lose it if she knew.

The doors are closing.

Wait.

Are you guys heading home?

Yes.

Are you going to the get-together?

Mi Sook asked me yesterday...

where a good place
for a get-together would be.

So I told her about Million Hof.

You're going there now, aren't you?

Yeah, I am.

Hello.

Can I join you for a drink too?

I heard from show host Hong Seon Young...

that everyone was here.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was about to get offended, you know.

You didn't leave me out on purpose, right?

I'm sorry,

but we left you out on purpose.

Why?

Your husband's a producer
at Sweet Home Shopping, right?

Yeah, so what?

Then...

how can you say that's unrelated
to you becoming the main host...

and co-host all the time?

What are you implying?

So you're saying
I got special treatment...

because of my husband?

Is that why you've all been so cold to me?

No.

I swear to the heavens
I've never gotten special treatment.

And my husband doesn't even have
that kind of power.

He actually tried to stop me
from joining here.

But we're all just sitting
on the sidelines...

while you're the only one
who got to do a main broadcast.

That only happened
because the main host had an accident.

Then why were you invited...

to a partner dinner
that we couldn't even attend?

Also,

why did the other show hosts say,

"Your hiring is basically guaranteed?"

That's just a courtesy.

And company dinners are not
special treatment, but just work.

How can you even call that
special treatment?

How is that "work?"

For interns, it's a valuable opportunity.

Seriously?

Then explain this.

Even when I wanted to work again,
I never got a chance.

Then I heard Sweet Home Shopping
was holding an information session,

so I applied.

Do you expect us to believe
this was a coincidence too?

That one really was a coincidence.

It was my birthday,
and I was out meeting friends.

Then they said the interviewee canceled.

So I filled in at the last minute.

And what does that interview
have to do with this?

How does it not?

When we first met,

you said you were already
set to work at Sweet Home Shopping.

So I took a job offer.

Really?

From where?

Sweet Home Shopping.

Explain that.

Are you going to say that was a lie too?

I'm sorry about that.

Honestly, back then,

I was embarrassed
to tell you the truth, so I lied.

Yeah, right.

They'd already selected you
but told you to pretend...

to take the exam, right?

No.

Have some shame, Cho Na Jeong.

How is it that every time
you open your mouth, it's a lie?

Do you think we dumped our kids
on someone else...

just to be your backdrop?

[Seon Art Center]

I have something to ask.

Yes?

Is there a rumor at the company
that I'm getting divorced?

Who told you that?

The CEO asked...

if I was spaced out because of my divorce.

If the CEO is even saying that,

doesn't that mean
everyone is already gossiping about it?

Who is it?

Who started that baseless rumor?

Actually, Team Leader Shin said...

he saw you coming out of a motel...

across from the company
during lunch break,

and that you were buying sexy underwear,

and that every time you talk
to your husband over the phone, you fight.

So he said you must be having an affair.

[Deluxe Hanmaeum Motel]

Has he lost his mind?

How could Team Leader Shin
spread a rumor like that...

without even checking with me?

Team Leader Gu.

Where are you going?

Team Leader Gu!

Yeah.

Mom, I'll call you back later.

What do you think you're doing?

Let's step outside and talk.

Say it here.

Why?

Is it too sensitive
to say in front of people?

What are you talking about?

I heard you've been telling people...

that I'm having an affair
and getting divorced.

I said it seemed like
you might get divorced.

So you did go around saying
I was having an affair?

Who exactly am I having an affair with?

Did you see it?
Did you see me cheat?

When a married woman goes to a motel...

instead of going home,
doesn't that say everything?

What more confirmation do I need?

If you're going to cheat,
at least do it discreetly.

And plenty of people have seen you...

snapping at your husband on the phone.

Are they all imagining things?

And I'm the one misunderstanding?

So now I'm curious.

Who's the new guy you're seeing?

That guy from the audition?

Be careful.

You might get reported.

No.

- How many times do I have to tell you?
- Stop.

You b*stard.

I'll sue you for defamation.

Someone stop her.

I won't let this go.

You piece of trash.

You've really crossed the line.

Why is she freaking out?

Look at this.

- It's really red.
- You two are grown-ups.

You two are supposed to be adults.
What on earth is this?

Why did you go to a motel
in broad daylight, Team Leader Gu?

I'm preparing for pregnancy,

and that day happened to be
my ovulation day.

Ovulation day?

How many times have I told you?

You need to watch what you say.

Aren't you embarrassed
in front of the employees?

I just...

Why didn't you go home?

Yes, Tae Jeong.

What?

So...

the interns think there was corruption
in the hiring process.

Is this what you're saying?

Yes.

Some of the interns
asked me about it yesterday.

How could they even imagine...

we'd have such a sloppy system?

We opened our doors...

to help career-break women
return to society,

and this is how they repay us?

Do they think this place
is some local grocery store?

If I offended you, I'm truly sorry.

But...

Intern Cho Na Jeong definitely told me...

that she was already set to work here.

Why did you say something like that
before even taking the exam?

I'm sorry.

Without thinking,

I just lied out of embarrassment.

I never imagined it would cause
such a huge misunderstanding.

I'm sorry.

Producer Kim.

Yes?

For now, take Cho Na Jeong
off the schedule completely.

If I went with how I feel,
I'd fire you on the spot.

But you kept the show from falling apart,

so I'll let it slide just this once.

And Ms. Yang,

it seems you don't trust
this company very much.

In that case, the company has no reason...

to treat you like some special rookie.

You'll be on air starting next week.

But if you don't do a good job,

you'll pay the price.

Producer Kim.

Put all the other interns on air too.

And if anyone doesn't have what it takes,
cut them right away.

People who poison the company...

are better off removed quickly
for everyone's sake.

Executive Director.

Mr. Lee Jeong h*?

He's better than I expected.

Would you like something to drink?

I already ordered mine.

You can order over there.

Okay.

Mr. Lee, what do you usually do
in your free time?

I'm not sure.

Well, if you're an office worker,
weekends are for catching up on sleep.

But with the kind of job I have,

I work hard not to fall behind trends.

I try to go to exhibitions
or performances and such.

Why?

In your photo,

you looked really young.

But seeing you in person,

you look your age.

What is that supposed to mean?

Just saying.

Mr. Lee, aren't you curious
about anything about me?

Not really.

What do you think you're doing?

I've been talking this whole time
and you're just on your phone.

Sorry, I'm a bit swamped with work.

I think I should get going.

What?

It was nice meeting you.

What's wrong with that guy?

Unbelievable.

Why bother coming out at all then?

He checked me out
and decided I wasn't worth it, is that it?

He didn't want to waste his time.
Is that it?

Seriously? That b*stard.

After we're done, maybe pasta later?

Are you free for dinner?

Yes, I'd love that.

- What about wine?
- I love wine too.

Do you like it? I really like it too.

Yes, me too.

What is this?

What do you think you're doing?

You made plans with me not that long ago.

So what are you doing here?

Are you some catalogue model...

from a matchmaking agency?

How many sessions did you sign up for?

Did they push you into a premium package
and talk you into the expensive one?

I hate to say it, but you and I...

totally got scammed.

Really?

No.

What do you think you're doing right now?

Get your hands off me.

You're too cheap to even pay
for a cup of coffee,

and you think you know
what embarrassment is?

Then what about you?

You?

You think Photoshop
is going to erase your age?

What's wrong with my age?

It's not like you're young, either.

You can be old,

but I can't? You jerk.

What is with this woman?

- Damn it.
- My neck.

Ms. Woo Joo.

Damn it.

[

You've won a coffee coupon.]

Another stupid ad.

[Naraeng]

Lee Il Ri,
are you really not going to pick up?

Welcome.

One draft beer
and one spicy whelk salad, please.

Yes, just a moment.

Welcome.

- Hello.
- How many are you?

- Five.
- Five.

Over there, one, two, three...

She's taking up a big table
all by herself.

There's room here.

Please wait a second.

Let's share the table.

Share with her?

Can't she leave?

I said you sell amazing fried chicken
and brought my friends here.

Just wait a bit.

It's hot.

Why is it so hot in here?

Ma'am, cancel my order.

Make some room for her.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Thank you.

- Hurry.
- Let's sit.

Three fried chickens,
one spicy whelk salad,

and five beers, please.

This looks so good.

- I told you it was good.
- It looks amazing.

Il Ri.

Are you okay?

Did something happen?

Hey, slow down.

Are you possessed or something?
Why are you eating so fast?

I feel much better.

No.

I'm sorry, dude.

Why am I so clumsy?

I knew that would happen.
That's why I gave you my jacket.

Ever since you were in school,

you were always wearing
whatever you ate on your clothes.

Tteokbokki, spicy seafood noodle soup,
and so on.

Stop.

Now talk to me.

What's going on?

What happened?

Why were you crying like a kid
out in the streets?

Well,

I fought with Na Jeong.

What? And here I thought
it was something big.

You guys are old enough now,
and you're still fighting?

Whatever. You don't know what happened.

Look at you.

Look at the way he's eating.

He eats way too much.

Isn't Jae Hyeon hilarious?

Totally.

How does he make it look so delicious
when he eats?

He's going to be huge, I'm telling you.

He's already quite taller
than other kids his age.

And Joo Hyeon sees that...

and keeps eating like crazy,
saying she has to grow as tall as him.

I really have to make a lot of money.

Work hard and feed them well.

That's the greatest joy...

and the best investment there is.

Joo Young.

Do you even look at my Instagram?

What are you talking about?

You never leave any comments.

You post in the group chat every day.
Do I have to leave comments as well?

They're different.

Don't you find
your nephew and niece adorable?

What are you trying to say?

They say you have to be jealous of kids...

for you to have one of your own.

Then you'll try harder, right?
Be more proactive.

That's enough.

She must be frustrated already.

So...

what exactly is the problem, Joo Young?

Is it that Sang Min can't perform?

Or are you the problem?

I'll head out first. You finish eating.

Mom, I'm leaving.

Thanks for the meal.

How much is it?

It's 170 dollars.

Just a moment.

I'm telling you,
that means the problem is her husband.

Why?

Otherwise, why would Joo Young
always be so on edge?

They say there are tons of guys in IT...

with problems down there.

She can't satisfy her desire
nor have kids.

How frustrating must that be?

See, what did I say?

I told you the problem wasn't Joo Young.
It was her husband.

This is exactly why I said...

I had a bad feeling
about guys who collect toys.

Exactly.

I didn't like him
from the moment I saw him, either.

What did you just say?

Say that again.

Why are you calling
a perfectly healthy man impotent?

Joo Young, that's not what I meant.

Our marriage...

has no problems.

Sang Min is so nice to me.

And I have zero complaints.

Just because we're having a baby later,
do you think you can make up crap?

Are we that easy to you?

Why are you getting so touchy?

It's not even that big a deal.

He really is impotent.

Shut up.

Open the door. It's me.

I know you're in there. Open up!

Why aren't you coming home?

Are you just going to keep living here?

With them?

Fine.

I didn't come here to fight, so I'll stop.

Rebecca.

I'm sorry I broke her arm.

But think about it from my side.

It's not even a little figure,
but a huge mannequin.

It was just too creepy.

And if something's bothering you,
you can talk to me.

Why are you talking to a doll?

Why are you being like this?

Say something!

Okay, fine.

But the reason I came here is to say this.

We should go to the hospital.

From what I can see,

I think you're hurt inside.

These days, if you get checked out
and get treatment,

they say most things can be fixed.

So let's go together, okay?

Why?

Does it feel like I'm treating you
like you're crazy?

Does that upset you?

It's not that.

I'm doing this
because I want to help you any way I can.

I'm so sorry to tell you this,

but...

don't ask me anything,
and just divorce me.

What?

What's wrong with you?

I'm saying I'll forgive you.

What right do you have
to be the one bringing up divorce?

You're right.

I know I don't have the right.

Like you said,
I'm not even in my right mind.

But living with you...

felt suffocating.

All you cared about was pregnancy.

What am I,
some kind of baby-making machine?

Am I?

I really...

It really felt
like I was going to lose my mind.

[You have a new notification.]

[Ovulation day, High chance of pregnancy]

My time has passed now.

It's completely over.

All that's left for me now...

is to become a lonely old person...

and die alone in an empty home.

You've got your whole future ahead of you.
Why do you say such depressing things?

Dude.

When I die,

since you live right across from me,

before I rot away completely,

before I'm completely gone,

will you bury me somewhere sunny?

I knew this would happen.

I knew you'd cause trouble.
Wait right here, okay?

What?

Did you just laugh at me?

Why?

Do I look funny to you?

What exactly is so funny?

- I'm sorry, she's just a bit...
- Hold on a second.

I definitely heard you.

You said, "That woman is hilarious."

That's enough.

Why did you call me hilarious?

All right.

I'm sorry. She's not well.

Let's go, Lee Il Ri.
Let's go home.

Hey, where do you think you're going?

Where do you think you're going?

I'm a fighter, you know.

- She's really not well.
- Hey.

Hey!

Young lady.

Just tell me the door code, will you?

Nope, I don't want to.
I'm not telling you.

What if I tell you, and you just walk in
whenever you feel like it?

Then I'll just drag you over
to my place instead.

No way.

You've got ulterior motives
with me, don't you?

Since when?

You animal.

But what cologne do you use?

Why are you like this again?

It smells nice.

Right, even back then,

I always made you give me piggybacks
because I liked this scent.

I remember.

How nice.

Hey, please.

Just punch in the code!

Hey, where are we?

Where did you bring me?

We're home now.

Finally.

You're heavier than when you were a kid.

Hey, are you taking my shoes off?

These are designers, you know.

Wait.

These are really expensive.

Got it.

- Don't steal them.
- I won't.

Hang on.

Let's move up.

You really haven't changed at all.

Hey, Byeon Sang Gyu.

You like me, don't you?

What are you saying?

You're really drunk right now.

Let's talk tomorrow
when you're sober, okay?

Let me say this one more time.

I don't like you.

But I feel really lonely today.

Wait.

You don't have to like me right now.

Because I'm going to make you fall for me.

[Sweet Home Shopping]

Good morning.

- What do I do?
- It's okay.

It's okay. These things happen.

Don't cry.

Don't cry over something like this.

What happened?

Ask her yourself.

Let's go.

Did something happen?

The producer told her
to leave right away...

for ruining the broadcast.

What?

This is all because of you.

If you hadn't told those stupid lies,
we wouldn't have gotten on the bad side,

and we wouldn't have been thrown on air
so suddenly like this.

How is that my fault?

And...

you're the ones
who wanted to be on air more.

It's not like I wanted to go in
this unprepared.

Ms. Cho, it's your fault.

Because of you,
everyone at the company hates us now.

What are we supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do?

It's okay.

[Sanmaeul Fermented Soybean Stew]

[Sanmaeul Fermented Soybean Stew]

You're all ready, right?

Since it's Ms. Yang's first broadcast,

don't try to do too much.

And don't miss a single word
of my instructions.

Even if you hear something in your in-ear,

don't lose your focus.

Okay.

All right, let's go.

We're live in five seconds.

Three, two, one.

Welcome.

This is delicious
Sanmaeul Fermented Soybean Stew.

I'm Hong Seon Young.

And I'm show host Yang Mi Sook.

Lately, with the trend
toward healthy foods,

what food is getting the most attention?

Fermented soybean stew.

As a dish with high protein
and low calories,

it's popular with everyone,
men and women, young and old.

And as a fermented food,
it's incredibly good for your health.

Since it's hard to make at home,

if you stock up in your fridge now,

you'll feel completely set.

Yes, so...

And if you look here,

we've specially prepared
Sanmaeul Fermented Soybean Stew today.

You all know you could only get this
in stores until now, right?

Ms. Yang, you're talking way too fast.

And you're talking way more
than the main host.

Let's look here.

The most important thing
about fermented soybean stew...

is the ingredient.

Now, what kind of soybean is this?

It's said to have been served
on the king's royal table long ago.

The famous Jangdan soybean from Paju.

It's 100 percent domestically grown,
pure soybean.

Ms. Yang, can't you hear me?

Why are you acting out
when you're the co-host?

I'm sorry.

And we take those Jangdan soybeans...

and boil them in a cauldron like this
for about two hours,

then let them steam
for about three and a half hours.

And then ferment them on a warm floor,

and look at this.

Do you see these pale white strands?

Okay.

Shall we try some?

It looks so delicious. I'll try some too.

Yes.

Don't spit it out.

Swallow it!

Please.

Do you think broadcasting is a joke?

The comment section
is blowing up right now.

They're saying this is like a comedy,
not a home shopping show.

They're saying they've never seen
someone spit food out like that,

and that it was so disgusting!

And why did you do the show by yourself?

Did you forget that I'm the main host,
and you're the co-host?

We're supposed to work together,

but you're just desperate to stand out!

Do you have any idea how uncomfortable
that makes the viewers?

How are you going...

to take responsibility for this outcome?

Hello.

Hello.

- You're here for the kids today.
- Yes.

- Just a moment.
- Okay.

Mom.

- Mom.
- Hey.

Mom, can we go play
on the playground first?

Sure.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Hello.

Whose father are you, if I may ask?

I'm Joo Ri Ae's dad.

My wife had to work, so I came.

Just a moment.

You're kind of cute.

My wife is in a meeting.

She told me not to call her.

But still...

You don't believe me?

She's in an important meeting right now
and told me not to call at all.

But under kindergarten rules,

we can't let a child go
without the mother's consent.

Look, her mom had work to do.

That's why she sent me.

If you're really that worried,

bring Ri Ae out and let her see me.

If she says she doesn't want to go,
I'll just leave.

Just a moment.

But Ri Ae says
she doesn't want to go to China.

She says her stepmom is scary.

The power is currently off...

Dad?

My sweet girl.

Didn't you miss me?

I missed you.

Do you believe me now?

I told you, I'm Ri Ae's dad.

Let's go!

You're the delivery guy from Hanmae-dong,
Joo Cheol Geun, right?

Nice to see you.

Who are you?

Me? I'm Cho Na Jeong
from Hanmae Middle School.

Sorry, I don't remember.

How can you not remember?

You asked me to go to karaoke with you,

and Mi Sook got mad
and grabbed my hair and we fought.

I'm telling you, I don't know you.

Anyway, how have you been all this time?

Have you been well?

But does Ri Ae's mom even know...

you're taking her?

Sir, I'm sorry,

but you should talk to the mother first,

and then take her.

What kind of nonsense is this?
Get out of my way.

Moms, perfect timing.

He's trying to kidnap a child.
Please hold on to him.

Police!

- Let go.
- Call the police.

Hold him tight.

That's it, hold him tight.

Back off, you crazy woman.

What do you think you're doing right now?

Why are you dragging in
someone who's done nothing wrong?

I'm the kid's father,
and I want to take her with me.

What's wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong
with a dad taking his kid.

But you live overseas now, don't you?

If you take her
without even telling her mom,

that's a problem.

And where did this random nobody
crawl out from?

Will you shut up?

Who are you calling a nobody?

Calm down.

Please sit down.

Mi Sook.

You b*stard, who are you to take my kid?

Who do you think you are?

I told you to leave my daughter alone.

I told you to leave my daughter alone!

Are you crazy?

Is Ri Ae only your daughter?

She's my daughter too.

A guy who lets his kid
watch him beat her mom every day?

What kind of father does that?

A guy who doesn't pay a single penny
in living expenses? How is that a father?

Where did you stash my hard-earned money?

Bring me my money!

Give me my money, you b*stard.

Give me my money.

Damn it.

- Mi Sook.
- Damn it.

Are you okay?

Let go of me.

You!

Here.

Right, where's Ri Ae?

She's fine with our nanny.

Don't worry.

Thanks.

He's Joo Cheol Geun from back then, right?

Yeah, that's him.

This is so humiliating.

Picking trash like that
and calling him my husband.

I really must have been blind.

Why?

You got married, ran a business together,

and made a lot of money.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

A lot of money?

Hey, I earned all of that
doing live commerce.

That jerk didn't do a thing.

But you know what's really unbelievable?

That piece of trash
went crazy over some woman...

and siphoned off every last bit
of the money I earned and all our assets.

And you know what's even more absurd?

No matter how awful he is,

if I don't have a proper job,

they say they'll send her to her dad.

They say there's nothing they can do.

That's why I was so desperate
to get into Sweet Home Shopping.

But what am I supposed to do now?

At this rate,
it's obvious I'm going to get fired.

Damn it.

If...

they really take Ri Ae away from me,

how am I supposed to live on, Na Jeong?

How am I supposed to go on?

Damn it.

Last time, because Ms. Cho showed up,

I couldn't properly apologize.

I'm sorry.

But when I even got rejected
from Samjin Shopping as my last shot,

it just felt so unfair.

Still, I'm not going to stop here.

I'll fight it all the way to the end.

It took so much for me
to become a show host.

I can't just let myself be branded
like this and get destroyed.

Right, Producer Noh?

Seon Min, I'm sorry.

I don't think I can help you anymore.

I know full well
how hard things are for you.

But the pressure from the company
is just too much.

I was ready to take it if they fired me.

I thought I could handle that somehow.

But they said they'd fire my wife too.

I'm really sorry.

No, Producer Noh.

I completely understand.

Anyone else would've just looked
the other way,

but you helped me out, Producer Noh.

I know how much you've helped me
up to now.

I'm sorry,
I forgot I had another appointment.

I'll get going first.

I never got to return this back then.

I'll see you next time.

If I don't have a proper job,
they'll send her to her dad.

They say she doesn't need some "good mom."

Mom, look at this.

What's this?

A present for Ri Ae.

But Mom, is Ri Ae going to China now?

No, who said that?

But Ri Ae's dad came today.

Do I have to say goodbye to her now?

No.

You did an amazing job. It's so pretty.

Here.

What's this?

They are some tips I've thought
were important.

I've been jotting them down for a while.

I thought it might help
if you looked through it.

Take a look.

Hey, Cho Na Jeong.

Yeah?

Why are you doing this for me?

If I fail,
it only works out better for you.

So why are you doing this for me?

Sure, I kind of resent you.

But...

I want to protect my son's girlfriend.
That's why.

Okay?

Can you just teach me yourself?

What?

Don't you remember?
I was terrible at studying.

And how am I supposed
to go through all this on my own?

Here.

If I pass on the tricks I used the most,
here's what I'd say.

When you're doing a food show,

because the food
has been simmering forever,

it's insanely hot.

First, scoop up one spoonful.

Then start your lines.

While you're talking,
it'll naturally cool down.

At least you won't have to worry
about burning yourself.

I didn't even know that.

And when you explain a product,

you don't need long-winded explanations
or anything.

Out of everything you feel about it,

pick the one point
that would tempt you the most,

and emphasize that. That's the key.

And for things like cosmetics,

it's way more natural if you actually
try them yourself first, right?

Of course.

You can just mention
stuff like brightening or anti-aging,

but you only know how it goes on
or how long it lasts by using it.

Exactly.

Before a show,

I use everything myself
for days beforehand.

I even keep testing notes.

What matters most is turning everything
into your own words.

- Testing notes.
- Yeah.

Here they are.

This is it.

- You really wrote the key points.
- Yeah.

Scoop up a spoonful like this.

Scoop up a spoonful.

Then talk while you let it cool.

Everyone, see the steam rising?
This is when it tastes the best, right?

Everyone, see the steam rising?
This is when it tastes the best, right?

I'll try this.

I'll try this.

This is it.

This is it.

Yeah, there you go.
Let's try again.

You've all had this happen, right?

In the morning,
you pack soup in a lunchbox,

and it leaks all over your bag.

That's such a disaster.
Even your clothes...

In parts like that
where you're emphasizing something,

it's good if we make eye contact
and give each other a little smile.

If you only stare at the camera,
it feels like you're off on your own.

Right. Reactions.

It'd be nice if you could cue
when we should pause and react.

Okay.

So the timing of the pauses is important.

Yeah.

Good luck.

Three, two, one.

Hello, everyone.
I'm show host Hong Seon Young.

Hello, I'm Yang Mi Sook.

Everyone, what do you worry about
when you use food containers?

After just a short time,
they get stained and pick up smells.

You're nervous
they might be leaching harmful chemicals.

You wonder if they're okay in the freezer
or safe in the microwave.

Isn't that right?

Right. Once you buy them, you want
to use them cleanly for a long time.

But there's just so much to worry about.

What brand pops into your head
at times like that?

Yes, Gotlock.

It's held the number one spot
in brand power for ten years straight,

and earned the notoriously strict
LOHAS certification...

eight years in a row.

It's the brand moms trust
and reach for first.

Honestly, every home has
at least one piece of Gotlock, right?

Exactly.

This time I switched out
all the containers at home...

and replaced them with Gotlock.

Before, no matter how much
I cleaned the fridge,

it still felt cluttered,
and faint side-dish smells kept lingering.

Now it's completely spotless.

Now I really get why homemakers
keep looking for Gotlock.

- I get it now.
- Right.

There's a reason
so many homemakers trust and choose it.

Now, with just about a minute left
in our show,

our remaining stock is almost...

Yes, completely sold out!

We did it.

Everyone, thank you so much.

Our smart shoppers
really do know how to decide fast.

To everyone who joined us today,
thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Changing what goes on your family's table.

It's not too late to start today.

If you missed today's order,
please look forward to our next show.

Here's to always staying healthy
and running a thrifty home.

We'll be cheering you on.

Thank you so much, everyone.

Great work, everyone.

Are you heading home already?

Hey, you worked hard today.

Do you have to get home early today
or something?

No, not really.

We're grabbing a drink with the others
at Million Hof tonight.

Do you want to come?

I'm buying.

Really?

If you're buying, I should go.

Let's go.

Thanks for everything.

It's nothing.

I told you, right?

I'm getting your help for now.

But don't think
I'll be cutting you slack forever.

My school might not be as good as yours,

but I have more grit than you do.

Yang Mi Sook.

You really do have pride.

Hold on.

[Nanny]

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Why isn't she picking up?

[Don't Call Me Ma'am]

Why isn't she picking up?

Min Woo.

Noh Min Jun.

We're getting a divorce.

Tell me why.

Do I look okay today?

Gu Joo Young.

You know how there are guys
who have that uniquely nice smell?

Am I some nanny
who gets a paycheck from you?

Is Mom your maid who cleans up after you?

I should just shut
that smart mouth of yours.

Go on, do it.
If you think you can, hit me.

So you're going back?

Use this chance
to step back from childcare.
