I've been trying it at home,
and the coverage is really amazing.
[Episode 8]
And it doesn't transfer.
How is it?
Moms really hate looking shiny,
and this stays matte.
It even feels nice and cooling.
I think it'd be good if Ye Na and I
take turns doing the demo.
Producer Noh.
Yes?
I'm only saying this because
it's your first time handling cosmetics.
This much is a top tier finish
and coverage.
Ye Na, how was it for you?
I think it's great.
You have dry skin, right?
How long does it last?
How long was it again?
Seriously?
Why do you keep staring at me like that?
Is something bothering you, Producer Noh?
Well,
are you not sleeping well
these days, Ms. Cho?
Sorry?
Why do you have
so many bumps on your face?
They're pimples. Okay.
I guess you like being blunt.
So this makes it perfect
for showing off the coverage, right?
Here, look.
Here's the before,
and the after.
No.
Instead of the demo,
let's build the segment
around the special bonuses and gifts.
This main product alone
is 75 dollars at the department store,
but this package includes two refills,
concealer, essence, and facial mist.
Listen, Producer Noh.
The biggest strength
of Perfect Cushion is its coverage.
It's already been proven in blind tests,
and I've tried it myself.
And above all, showing the demo...
is the best way to grab
the viewers' attention...
I'm not sure.
If that gets caught on camera,
they're going to look
way bigger than you think.
The pimples.
Anyway, since the configuration
is this product's strength,
let's just do it my way.
What a jerk.
He's so annoying.
Why pick on someone's looks?
Unbelievable.
Still, I heard he was a promising producer
back at Our Home Shopping.
And he's good-looking.
Good-looking? Says who?
Just because someone's good-looking,
they get to be rude?
It's still way better
than some ugly guy being rude.
Wait.
Did you even try the product?
Of course, I did.
You did too, right?
Then why couldn't you answer
when I asked about wear time?
How many times have I told you?
You always have to study the product...
and make it your own before going on air.
You can't just rely on the producer
spoon-feeding you everything.
Actually...
Forget it.
This is driving me crazy.
Why do these always come up
every time I ovulate?
Hello, everyone.
Bringing you the most perfect
Perfect Cushion package,
I'm your show host, Cho Na Jeong.
And I'm show host Song Ye Na.
Today,
we're introducing a product
everyone's talking about.
Perfect Cushion!
It doesn't transfer.
As for coverage,
it ranked number one in blind testing.
Start with the package.
Let me walk you through the package.
This is the exact same product
currently sold at department stores.
The cushion that sells for 75 dollars
at department stores,
and from Perfect,
something they really rarely ever include,
the antioxidant essence base,
plus two refills and a concealer,
and you also get a facial mist.
And for all that?
For all that, 79.90 dollars.
Yes, can you believe it?
Please show the demo.
- Show the coverage, please.
- This package, at this price?
A groundbreaking package...
first introduced here
on Sweet Home Shopping.
The lines are good. Now show the demo.
What the...
He told me not to do demos in the meeting.
Okay, let me show you the case.
First of all,
we've gotten so many compliments
on how pretty the case is.
Isn't it so sleek?
Now, when you open it,
there's the puff.
Now it's showtime.
This magical coverage,
you won't believe it
unless we show you live.
That pimple is too big.
Ms. Song should do it, not you.
Ye Na, could you demonstrate as well?
Sure.
Let me show you...
how much brighter the skin tone looks.
Say something. Don't just do the demo.
You have to explain features
and ingredients too.
Okay.
Look, both sides look
completely different, right?
We're having trouble
connecting callers right now.
Please use the app
or the automated order line.
Now, moving to CTA video.
Video 3, cut.
Producer Noh.
If the plan changed,
you should request it.
Why do you talk like that?
Calls are pouring in. Please focus.
Okay, focus.
Camera 1, standby.
Cue!
Everyone.
Over 10,000 people
have already placed their orders.
This package is only available
during this broadcast,
so you'll really regret missing it.
Try it today.
Your skin will change.
Sold out.
You didn't forget
about this week's team dinner, right?
Producer Noh.
Why do you talk to people that way?
Don't you know the hosts get thrown off
when you talk like that?
You say no demos,
then you order a demo again?
At least explain why.
How can I explain everything
in the little time we have?
And shouldn't a show host...
be flexible enough to adapt on the spot?
Is this how you've always run
your shows, Producer Noh?
We sold out.
Why make such a big deal out of nothing?
Nothing?
Let go of me.
Look here, Producer Noh Won Bin.
Do you think a shopping host...
is just a parrot
repeating whatever you say?
And you call yourself a pro?
Really?
Say something.
Talk like you did earlier.
Cat got your tongue
now that I set the stage for you?
Go on.
Talk like earlier, you piece of garbage.
Stop.
Ms. Cho, I'm sorry.
The truth is,
I've only been a producer for three years.
People around me said I needed
to establish dominance early on,
so I overstepped.
I'm really sorry.
Producer Noh.
When a show host is on stage,
it feels like they're standing...
in the middle of an eight-lane highway
wearing nothing but a bikini.
And if you put them on the spot there,
imagine how lonely they'd feel.
Ms. Cho, I...
I'm sorry, Ms. Cho.
Seriously.
Anyway, I'm also sorry...
for calling you a piece of garbage.
No.
I am a piece of garbage. Yes, I am.
I'm a total piece of garbage.
Wait, why is he handsome?
You're really handsome.
You actually are.
Where do you live?
Ms. Cho.
Ms. Cho, where do you live?
Nowhere.
You can't stay here.
We both have work tomorrow.
So tell me. Where do you live?
I don't have a home.
I'm garbage, remember?
I already told you I'm the garbage.
Right.
But seriously, if you stay here like this,
you're going to get in trouble.
Where do you live? Your place.
- My place?
- Yes.
My place...
is right there!
Where?
[Hotel]
What?
You're garbage, Cho Na Jeong.
That place over there is my home!
Be careful.
You're going to get into trouble that way.
Let's get into big trouble.
Catch me if you can.
Seriously?
Why are you doing this to me?
Your bag is right here.
Na Jeong, wait for me.
You already caught me.
[Hotel]
[Intensive Care Unit]
[Executive Director Seo Gyeong Seon]
Yes?
Won Bin, I heard the news.
She still hasn't woken up?
But she's not in critical danger, right?
Yes, it seems that way.
Anyway, thank you for all your work.
And I'm telling you this so you don't
go around saying something you shouldn't.
This is no one's fault.
Understand?
No.
It's my fault.
If I hadn't pulled out at the end,
it wouldn't have gotten this bad.
I looked away just to save myself,
to protect my own family.
It's all my fault.
Honey.
What's going on?
So did she die?
Damn it.
She didn't die, right?
Right?
Damn it.
Be honest.
Did you contact Kim Seon Min after that?
What are you talking about?
Never! I swear!
I told you already.
She wasn't the victim, but I was.
Then what about Song Ye Na?
No.
Be honest!
I said no! I didn't!
Listen carefully, Kim Jeong Sik.
The reason I haven't divorced
a b*stard like you...
is not because I trust you
or care about you.
It's because I don't want
trash like you...
to leave a stain on my career,
and because I refuse to let
my daughter's life get ruined.
So if you pull even one reckless stunt,
before the law judges you,
I'm going to k*ll you myself.
Do you hear me?
Damn it.
You scared me.
What are you doing here?
You reek of alcohol.
Why did you drink so much?
Hey.
Deputy Editor?
Hi, Deputy Editor!
What a surprise running into you here.
This is my usual spot.
Manager Eom must've brought you here.
Let's go somewhere else.
Let's just sit here.
Come here.
It's okay if we sit here, right?
I said let's go somewhere else.
No.
Why should we go somewhere else?
Hey.
Is she the one who had an affair
with Eom Jong Do?
Yeah.
That b*tch.
You must be her friends.
We came to see an exhibit nearby,
and heard this place was a hot spot.
But Deputy Editor,
you didn't lose your mood
because of us, right?
Of course not.
"Blunt Sister's Sensible Advice"
is so fun these days.
Especially that one...
where the show hosts appeared
and spilled everything.
Was that your idea?
Yes.
See?
This is why I can't bring myself
to fire our deputy editor.
I was joking.
Why are you staring at me like that?
But who's this?
Your new boyfriend?
Yes.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Il Ri's new boyfriend, Byeon Sang Gyu.
Judging by the vibe,
you're Il Ri's coworkers.
Right?
Yes.
What would you like to have?
Tonight, it's all on me.
As a way of asking you
to be nice to Il Ri.
Excuse me, could we get the menu here?
Your new boyfriend is so cool,
Deputy Editor.
The best.
Then we can order
something expensive, right?
Of course.
Just order whatever you want.
Okay.
Wait, Il Ri.
Come here a sec.
Why is your face so red?
Are you not feeling well?
- No...
- Hold still.
You're burning up.
No, I'm...
Are you okay, baby?
I don't want you to get sick.
This is embarrassing.
I was blushing like crazy.
What is Sang Gyu thinking?
Whatever. I'll just play along for now.
It'd be weird to suddenly say
it was a lie.
Be honest.
He's not really your boyfriend, is he?
Why do you care?
People say tastes change with age.
So do you like someone local
and old-fashioned now?
My taste used to be pretty terrible.
I'm just trying to upgrade.
We need to talk.
I have nothing to say, so get lost.
I said let's talk.
- Let go!
- Il Ri.
What do you think you're doing
to my girlfriend?
Let go of me.
I said let go.
Hey.
The past is the past.
It's already over between you two,
isn't it?
Aren't you ashamed
in front of your current girlfriend?
Damn it.
Let's go.
Honey, where are you going?
- Come.
- Honey.
Eom Jong Do.
He's so annoying.
Those guys.
Look at all this food they ordered
that they're not even going to eat.
Right.
I need to make a quick call.
Do you guys want to go first?
Go on, I'll be right behind you.
Hey!
We'll wait for you.
Come when you're done.
Do you want to sit on that bench
for a bit while we wait?
Yes.
Over there.
Thanks for today, dude.
I didn't do anything.
He seemed strange.
But still,
you pretended to be my boyfriend...
when you like someone else.
Pretended?
That sounds kind of sad.
Why? It's true.
I feel sorry for whoever it is.
Did you tell her how you feel?
No.
Why not?
I just feel like I need some time.
For what?
I need time to think...
about what I should say
to best express my feelings.
Lucky her.
You're so serious.
Who is it? Someone I know?
Hey.
Do you really not know,
or are you pretending not to know?
You knew...
I liked you.
And you know...
I still like you.
It's been 20 years
since we met again like this, right?
It's crazy.
Are you...
Lee Il Ri?
Hey.
Hey, are you okay?
The moment I saw you that day,
it felt like I'd gotten in a time machine.
I knew right away.
In my whole life,
I'd never liked anyone
as much as I liked you.
Unbelievable.
I wanted to confess to you
in a really cool way,
but I failed.
Since it's already come to this,
I guess there's nothing we can do.
Il Ri.
How about you?
What do you think of me?
How about dating me?
You don't want to?
It's not exactly that.
Then what's making you hesitate?
It's just...
No.
You don't have to answer right now.
Take your time and think it over,
and maybe feel a little pressure too.
What's that?
Should we ride this back home?
I can't believe it.
Sang Gyu is such a macho man.
Hey, come to think of it,
I remembered how Sang Gyu was
always looking out just for you...
back in college.
What's with that face?
Is something wrong?
I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know?
Don't tell me you don't like Sang Gyu.
It's not like that.
[Eom Jong Do]
Why is this punk calling
in the middle of the night?
Pick up.
What?
Put it on speaker.
Il Ri.
How could you change like that so fast?
Was that really all
our relationship meant to you?
What are you even talking about right now?
I still like you, Il Ri.
I felt like crap
the whole way over to my place.
After I saw that guy last time,
I couldn't even sleep.
I kept wondering why I was like that,
and then I realized.
I'm really sorry,
but I still love you, Il Ri.
I know I've messed up.
But it wasn't that I didn't like you.
I was scared of getting married.
I was crushed by the weight of having
to take responsibility for someone,
so I ran away like a coward.
But that happens, right?
People do that sometimes,
right?
Sure, it happens.
But a guy who actually does that...
really is a total b*stard.
I know.
So I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I must've lost my mind for a while.
What are you trying to say?
I'll break up with So Young.
So you break up with that jerk too,
and marry me.
Are you apologizing right now,
or proposing?
Does it bother you that much
that I'm seeing someone?
Enough that you want to stop it
with marriage?
It's because I like you that much.
I'm saying I'll even marry you.
Don't you get it?
So,
let's start over.
I'll really treat you right
this time, okay?
Hey, why'd you hang up?
Hearing that b*stard beg like that
is so satisfying.
I don't even need to hear it.
No matter how hard I try to hide my charm,
it just won't stay hidden.
Why can't anyone get over me,
and they keep clinging like this?
Are you bragging right now?
I'm jealous.
Back when I was single,
I had guys flocking to me left and right.
Hey.
Don't you think
I've been looking younger lately?
Is it because of this?
Hey! Go easy on that!
You're so stingy.
[Sweet Home Shopping]
Did you hear about Seon Min?
Ye Na.
Do you really think it's right
to just stay quiet like this?
Keeping the truth buried any longer.
Don't you think that's way too unfair
to Seon Min?
But I only heard it secondhand,
so it doesn't carry any weight
when I say it.
That's why I really hope you...
I told you before.
I...
never had anything like that happen to me.
Why do you keep trying to drag me
into something so filthy?
What on earth did you hear from her?
I get that this puts you
in a tough spot, but...
Who do you think you are, Producer?
Were you seriously dating
Seon Min or something?
Or do you just enjoy playing the hero?
Why are you trying to meddle
in someone else's life?
Song Ye Na.
Why do you think
Seon Min tried to k*ll herself?
Maybe Seon Min...
actually wanted to bury all of that...
and go back to living like before.
But then,
you stuck your nose in for no reason,
and things blew up beyond repair.
And when you couldn't take responsibility,
you backed out!
How do you think
Seon Min felt at that moment?
In the end, what pushed her that far...
wasn't Kim Jeong Sik, but you.
So...
please,
stop pretending to be some good guy
and just stay out of it.
What happened to Seon Min?
How is she?
Her vital signs are back to normal,
but she still won't wake up.
The doctor says it's strange...
and that it seems
like she's refusing to wake up.
I should've asked to see her sooner.
She ignored my calls a few times,
so I just left her alone.
It was awkward for us to reach out too.
We all knew what happened,
but we couldn't really take sides.
But we couldn't
exactly preach at her, either.
But...
what could've hurt so much
that she'd take pills?
It's obvious.
Producer Noh probably told her
they should break up.
These days, Na Jeong
and Producer Noh look really close.
Is it really right to keep hiding this
from Na Jeong?
Forget it.
Why should we step into
something this messy?
What useless talk
are you two chattering about?
Do you really have that little to do?
You've got that much time...
to gossip about baseless
and pointless rumors?
It's just...
I don't care what it's about.
Don't go around
spreading pointless rumors.
Nothing like that
helps the company in any way.
Do you want to stir up trouble
just by running your mouth?
Hello.
You scared me.
Why? What's going on?
Hey.
Do you know a woman named Seon Min?
Seon Min?
Yeah, I've seen her.
I heard she couldn't renew contract...
and was having a hard time finding work.
Hey, you idiot.
This is not the time to be so calm.
They say that woman
called Seon Min took pills.
Why? Did something bad happen?
Because of your husband.
My husband?
Tell me everything, in detail.
Because of Producer Noh,
Kim Seon Min took pills?
No, Na Jeong, don't get the wrong idea.
I was just speculating when I said that.
Still,
you must have had some reason
to think that, ma'am.
I'm sorry, Na Jeong.
Actually, for a while now,
people have been saying
Producer Noh and Seon Min...
were dating.
I wanted to tell you,
but since we didn't see it ourselves,
it felt wrong to say anything.
Then why did that rumor start?
There must've been something behind it.
Well,
some people saw Seon Min
grabbing onto Producer Noh...
and crying in the conference room.
And people saw them alone together
outside the office...
multiple times.
And a few colleagues said
that on their way out for drinks,
they saw Mr. Kim, the head of division,
alone with Producer Noh.
And apparently,
Mr. Kim threw a drink in his face...
and said this.
Don't you feel even a little sorry
for Na Jeong waiting at home?
Watch yourself and behave, you punk.
Don't try to dodge this,
and answer me honestly.
What exactly is going on
between you and this woman, Kim Seon Min?
I don't know what you heard,
but it's not what you think,
so don't get the wrong idea.
Like I told you before,
she lost her job
and couldn't renew her contract,
so I met her a few times
to connect her with people.
I'll explain the details later.
What are you playing at right now?
I saw you with that woman myself,
and everyone at work knows
you're having an affair with her.
And yet you don't even think
you owe me an explanation?
Do you seriously want to see me snap?
I am not having an affair.
There's something I can't tell you
that has to do with Seon Min.
It's not something
I can just casually talk about.
Once everything is settled,
I'll tell you everything. Okay?
Yeah.
This is exactly it.
The part of you
that really drives me crazy.
Let's say, for the sake of argument,
that I believe you.
But that's not the issue.
All this time living with you,
this is what's annoyed me the most.
That dogmatism of deciding everything
on your own without ever talking to me.
That patriarchal attitude.
Do I look that pathetic to you?
That easy to push around?
If I'd known you were this stubborn
and impossible to talk to,
I never would've married you.
What, are you mad?
You cheated with another woman,
got caught by everyone,
and you can't even explain yourself.
So what exactly are you mad about?
I told you it's not like that.
Do you think I never say anything
because you don't have any flaws?
You don't even look at the bigger picture.
You jump to conclusions and go after
people like you're out to k*ll a rat.
You treat me like a cheater
without a second thought.
Every time this happens,
I get so sick and tired of it.
Why do you always tear me down
and treat me like a criminal?
You're...
sick of me?
So what you're saying is,
you're fed up and worn out
from living with me, right?
If you're that sick and tired,
then let's end it.
As if letting rumors spread
that you're cheating was not enough,
you're dumping the blame on me now.
I don't want to live
with someone like that, either.
Where are you?
Did you actually walk out on the house?
[Won Bin]
Sorry.
I'll be sleeping at the office
for a while.
How can you be like this?
So you really just don't care anymore?
You're basically saying
you have no intention of fixing this.
Fine, forget it.
I don't want to live with someone
as irresponsible as you...
anymore, either.
[Filing for Mutual Divorce]
Please hand me your ID card.
The mutual-consent divorce application,
your family relation certificate,
and marriage certificate.
You brought them, right?
As you know, the hearing date
to confirm your intent to divorce...
is set for four weeks from now.
[Seoul Family Court]
Go.
See you on the hearing date.
Wait.
Can we at least grab a coffee
before we go?
Say whatever you want to say.
If you've got nothing to say, I'll go.
I'm sorry.
For the way I spoke to you back then.
I've regretted it ever since.
You wanted so badly to be a mom,
and I'm so sorry about that too.
It's fine.
Now that it's come to this,
what's the point of saying all that?
When I think about it,
did I really want a baby?
Maybe because our relationship felt
so fragile and unstable,
I just clung to the idea even more.
Maybe it's for the best.
If we'd had a kid,
divorce wouldn't be this easy.
There's still one thing I want to know.
When you married me,
was it really because you loved me?
Then why did you need them?
I'm leaving.
Gu Joo Young, your show was amazing.
I was so moved I almost cried.
Hey, you're supposed to swallow
your emotions, not your snot.
With you sniffling like that,
I could barely focus.
- Won Bin.
- Yes?
What do you even like
about someone like her?
Well,
she's just pretty.
I can't even.
Seriously?
Cheers.
- Congrats, Gu Joo Young.
- Congrats!
Hey, Sang Min.
Long time no see.
Won Bin, long time no see.
Who's that?
A club friend from college.
It looks like he came alone.
Invite him to join us.
Yes, do that.
Ask him to drink with us.
Okay.
Hey, Sang Min.
If you came alone, come sit with us.
No, I'm fine. Don't mind me.
Hey, get over here and drink with us.
- This is my girlfriend.
- Hello.
And these are her friends.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Sang Min works as an engineer at Naver.
Right? Naver?
Yeah.
Great company you work for.
You must be a real talent in IT.
Not really.
- Would you like a drink?
- I don't drink.
You don't need to feel awkward.
We're all just as awkward.
Wait.
Honey, aren't those so pretty?
Yeah, they're pretty.
Then can you buy them for my birthday?
Nope.
Why not?
They say if you buy someone shoes,
they'll run away.
I don't want you to run away.
What?
If you're not going anywhere,
I'll buy them.
Won Bin didn't come home
last night, either?
He didn't.
That fool.
Breaking his wife's heart like that.
Na Jeong.
Don't be too angry with him, okay?
When people hit their forties,
even the nicest ones...
start acting weird...
and can't get their head on straight.
It's part of growing up.
Becoming a real adult isn't easy,
you know.
Father.
Yeah?
You've lived with your wife
for 40 years, right?
Not only 40.
It's been 45.
You must've gone through everything.
How did you make it work?
Don't even get me started.
But...
when you go through
all kinds of things together,
you start to feel for each other.
Once that tenderness kicks in,
that's the scariest part of all.
Guys.
You doing okay?
Are you so blinded by success...
you just threw your pride away?
I told you not to grovel
to trash like her.
Sang Gyu.
You look great in a suit.
Right, Il Ri?
Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
Okay.
Ms. Cho, you're here.
Congratulations, Hye Jeong.
You look gorgeous.
Thank you, Na Jeong.
When you're broke
and trying to get married,
you've got no choice
but to lean on friends.
I hope I didn't ask for help
when you were too busy.
No, not at all.
But where are the flowers, balloons,
and all the decorations?
- Around that corner over there.
- Okay.
By the way, where are Ms. Lee and Ms. Gu?
They're not here yet.
Don't worry,
we'll finish it together when they come.
You look beautiful.
CEO Choi and Manager Eom.
How are you this early?
It just happened.
But what is all this?
You said it'd be simple,
but it's beautiful.
I'm getting a little annoyed.
Thanks.
Have you been waiting long?
It turns out I'm in early menopause.
What I thought were irregular periods...
was actually early menopause.
So I snapped at you for nothing.
You'll just have to understand.
This feels a lot stranger than I expected.
Everyone else has it,
and I'm the only one who doesn't.
It kind of feels like I got cut out.
Don't cry yet.
I've got something to confess too.
What is it?
I got divorced.
What?
It's a long story,
but in short, he was a pervert.
A creepy pervert who talks to mannequins.
Why are you doing this?
You're embarrassing us.
Shush.
Stop.
Sorry.
I'm the terrible one.
Keep your voice down.
What's wrong with you?
What do you think you're doing right now?
Just be honest.
You're not really her boyfriend, are you?
Why do you keep picking fights with me?
Il Ri really hates anything tacky.
And you...
You're just so wrong.
Excuse me.
If you still have feelings for your ex,
shouldn't you apologize properly
and ask her how she feels?
Why scheme behind her back like a coward?
Aren't you ashamed?
Who are you to butt in and lecture me?
Who do you think you are?
What am I supposed to do with this punk?
You didn't want responsibility before,
but now that someone else might take her,
you can't stand it?
Does Il Ri know how pathetic you are?
Pathetic?
I can't even.
Come outside.
She took pills?
Unbelievable.
So the two went and played
Romeo and Juliet?
Like this is some epic tragic love story,
she took pills
and ended up in the hospital,
and after all that,
he just walked out with no explanation?
Just divorce him already.
Still, we don't know the whole story.
Jumping straight to divorce feels harsh.
Did you do some huge investigation
before you divorced?
My situation was different.
I caught them myself with my own two eyes.
Na Jeong said
she saw the two of them together too.
Come to think of it, when you said
you were joining the company,
he tried so hard to stop you.
I guess he was scared
he'd get caught having an affair.
How far are you going?
We can talk right here.
Why are we having this conversation
at a wedding hall?
What was that about "pathetic" before?
Say it again.
Hey.
Your guys are fighting.
They've lost it.
What's wrong with them?
Hey, what is happening?
Since when is Sang Gyu Il Ri's man?
He confessed his feelings to her
not long ago.
What? Then what's with Eom Jong Do?
He asked Il Ri to marry him.
Lee Il Ri, why are you so popular?
This stupid popularity
is driving me insane.
Hey.
Stop it already!
Il Ri, be honest.
You're not actually dating
this guy, right?
You're just pretending
so I'll get jealous, right?
Il Ri, you're my girl.
You can't get over me, so why...
No!
I like him, not you.
We already slept together.
Liar.
You're lying, right?
I'm not lying.
I don't have any feelings left for you.
Il Ri.
Until recently, you wanted to marry me.
Yeah, I did.
I pretended I didn't, but I did.
But the moment you asked me to marry you,
everything became clear.
The person I want to marry...
isn't you. It's him.
They're getting married?
Even if I hadn't screwed up,
woul you still have dated him?
Yeah.
I think I would have.
Then I would've been the one cheating,
not you.
Do you get it now?
You and I are really over.
So let go and live your life.
What now? What's going on?
Hey, why are you dumping your confession
on someone else?
Wait!
Don't come any closer.
The truth is, I...
actually...
I can't have...
Can we take things a little slower?
I'm sorry,
but I'm still not sure about you.
Well,
no matter how old we are,
we should move forward step by step...
while we're seeing
if we're really right for each other.
Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
That's how I see it.
You're right.
But we already, you know...
Yeah, you're right.
I can't even.
They say the quiet cat
is the first to jump on the stove...
Hey, say it right. She's not a quiet cat.
True.
She's a wild, delinquent cat.
But did you also not know
that they slept together?
I had no idea.
The more I think about it,
the more upsetting this is.
We tell her everything,
but she keeps things from us.
Because it was Sang Gyu.
To us, Sang Gyu is pretty much family.
Yeah.
There are things you can't say
because they're family.
Hey, then...
about your husband and my husband.
Maybe there's something
they couldn't tell us...
for that same reason.
Because we're family.
You're right.
A line from a drama
just popped into my head.
What?
"Even if everyone else knew,
I just hoped my family wouldn't."
Hello, Mr. Kim.
This is Cho Na Jeong.
If you have a moment,
could I see you for a bit?
I'm sorry to bother you
when you're off the clock.
I'm the head of division.
I should've been the one to ask you first.
Sorry about that.
How's your internship going?
Anything giving you trouble?
It's not that.
There's just one thing I wanted to ask.
What is it?
I heard that Producer Noh Won Bin...
and former show host Kim Seon Min,
who left,
were in an inappropriate relationship.
Is that true?
Why ask me that?
I heard that because of it,
you called Producer Noh in
and gave him a scolding.
That.
When that ridiculous rumor
started going around the company,
I called him in and told him
to watch his behavior.
I just gave him a talking-to, that's all.
I don't really know the details, either.
When I heard those rumors,
you were the first person
who came to mind.
You know I was really fond of you.
I thought about how crushed you must be.
So I scolded him...
like an older brother would.
So you only heard it as a rumor too, then?
Yeah.
Did you call in show host Kim Seon Min
and ask her as well?
Well,
by then, Seon Min had already resigned.
And usually, in situations like that,
people assume the married man
is more at fault, not the single woman.
Seon Young, it's me.
Do you happen to know
which hospital Kim Seon Min is in?
[Wishing you a speedy recovery,
Kim * Min]
I'm sorry.
Seon Min.
I know you wouldn't want me here,
but I came anyway.
If I don't see you,
I don't think I'll be able to sleep.
You resented me a lot, didn't you?
I'm sorry.
But I was so scared.
I was scared I'd be blacklisted
in the industry.
Still, why did you have to take pills?
How am I supposed to live
with this guilt now?
Ye Na, what do you mean by that?
Na Jeong.
Why are you here?
What did you mean by what you just said?
It's nothing.
Don't lie to me.
You clearly know what's going on.
Explain to me
why Seon Min took those pills.
Ye Na.
Ye Na.
I report sexual harassment
by K, the Head of Division,
at Sweet Home Shopping.
[Yang Mi Sook]
Mi Sook.
Hey, did you see the screenshot
I sent you?
What is this?
I had a feeling
Kim Seon Min and your husband...
had something shady going on,
so I sounded out Assistant Manager Ha.
Assistant Manager Ha?
Who's that?
Didn't I tell you?
Someone on the company's legal team
who's been tagging along with me lately.
And?
But the guy kept insisting
he didn't know a thing...
and wouldn't talk no matter what.
So while he stepped into the bathroom
for a minute,
I secretly went through his phone,
and that's what I found.
So from that,
it looks like it wasn't your husband
she had an affair with,
but that rat-faced division head...
she got tangled up with.
The way I see it,
your husband was just trying
to help his junior...
and ended up cornered.
Since it involved the higher-ups,
if he said something reckless,
he probably thought
he'd get his head chopped off.
That's probably why
he couldn't explain himself to anyone.
Don't I sound like a detective?
And usually, in situations like that,
people assume the married man
is more at fault, not the single woman.
It was really tough.
Seriously.
Well, look at our lovely show hosts.
What's got you all smiles?
We were just swapping
some scary stories from work.
I'd love to hear those too.
I'll set up a team dinner soon, okay?
- Good work, then.
- Yes.
But the way he looks at us...
is kind of unsettling.
Is it just me who thinks that?
You too?
Honestly, me too.
He's just a nice, playful guy.
If you nitpick all that,
how are you going to survive at work?
Come on, let's drink and head back in.
What are you doing here?
You reek of alcohol.
Why did you drink so much?
That habit you have of deciding everything
on your own without talking to me.
That patriarchal attitude.
Do I look that pathetic to you?
That easy to push around?
If I'd known you were this stubborn
and impossible to talk to,
I never would've married you.
[Min Woo, Min Jun's Mom]
Honey, I'm sorry.
You're still...
the man I'd most want to be married to.
About everything,
I'm sorry I couldn't explain it properly.
Seon Min...
came to me saying
there was no one else she could trust.
You and the kids kept coming to mind,
but I just couldn't bring myself
to turn her away.
And in the end,
I ended up flagged at work.
In the middle of all that,
you said you were joining the company.
And I really didn't want...
you to see just how pathetic I'd been.
Me too.
I'm sorry for doubting you first
without knowing the full story.
I should've trusted my own husband.
But once I learned what really happened,
it brought something back to me.
You've always been...
the kind of person...
who can't just walk past
someone powerless.
For someone like you to go through this,
it must have eaten you up inside.
It must have been hard carrying it alone.
You had to protect your family,
and still protect your conscience
in a mess like that.
You must have been really torn up inside.
But honey,
what happened to Seon Min...
is not on you.
Don't beat yourself up.
Thank you.
Na Jeong.
Hello,
I'm show host Kim Gwan Woo.
Joining you today,
I'm show host Yoon Chae Ryeong.
Everyone, did you brush your teeth
after your late-night snack yesterday?
We brush our teeth
three times a day out of habit, right?
- But did you know this?
- Know what?
If you brush halfheartedly,
all the plaque that's built up all day...
just stays right there.
But with our Denden Brush...
But that night,
I could barely sleep.
I understood
my husband's feelings all too well,
but if we brought the truth to light,
we'd both have to be ready
to lose our jobs.
And for our family,
that was just too big a risk to take.
Honey, why aren't you sleeping?
Just.
What's wrong? You can't sleep?
Honey, listen.
I have a favor to ask.
Why don't we...
just...
pretend we don't know anything
about Seon Min?
I know exactly
how much this is eating you up.
I really do.
But...
you know what it meant to me
to join this company.
You know that too.
And more than anything,
we're Min Woo and Min Jun's parents.
As much as it hurts
to see someone treated unfairly,
keeping our family safe
matters more to me.
So...
for our family,
can we just...
step away from this?
[Don't Call Me Ma'am]
What's the rumor going around right now?
You...
pushed Won Bin to report
the head of division...
to the ethics committee, didn't you?
Let me be blunt.
If you didn't have
that creepy little hobby of yours,
do you really think
things would've gone this far?
Who are you calling a pervert right now?
- Mom, stop.
- You should speak up if you're wronged.
When you get married,
do you want to have kids?
Wait.
Let's stay friends as working moms...
for a long, long time.
Why are you trying
to slap this kind of label on me?
What grudge do you have against me?
Did you order this, Executive Director?
