Color of Woman
Episode 15
[What to do?]
So Ra, Chan Jin is sick.
Taxi!
Where's Yoon Ji?
The person I'd like you to meet today...
isn't Yoon Ji.
Then who is it?
So Ra,
Chan Jin has been vomiting and he's very uncomfortable.
What do we do?
- Hold my bag. - Okay.
Chan Jin, where do you not feel well?
Why are your hands so cold?
What if you catch a cold?
I'm only faking being sick.
I didn't think you and Jin Ju would be so worried. I tricked both you and Jin Ju.
What do you mean pretending?
Your whole body is burning up.
Get up. We'll go to the hospital. Okay?
There's a woman I love.
Are you referring to Byun So Ra?
I know you're dissatisfied with So Ra's qualifications.
But, in regards to matters of love,
I thought your attitude would be different.
My dissatisfaction with her
is unrelated to her qualifications.
As a matter of fact, I'm concerned that she has her eye on your qualifications.
That's what I'm worried about.
So Ra isn't that kind of person.
Can you be certain of that?
Can you be certain she'll love only you all her life?
You've seen her with Chan Jin too right?
I know I've hurt you a lot,
that's why I hope you can find a woman who can be yours only,
who won't quarrel over minor matters,
and who won't put up a front like a professor lecturing your every move.
It looks like she's not going to come.
There's a lot of work at the office.
It seems to me that you're not her first love.
Also, I know that you asked Manager Park
to investigate Chan Jin's mother.
Put a stop to that.
Then please reveal the truth to me.
Even if Chan Jin finds out in the end, I still won't admit to the truth.
That's the only way to ensure that Chan Jin won't blame you.
This is for your own good, Jun Su.
It's also for Chan Jin's own good too.
Byun So Ra, where the heck are you?
You didn't come as promised and you're not answering your phone.
Head Manager, this is Wang Jin Ju.
Why are you answering So Ra's phone?
So Ra left the house with my phone.
Then I'll call your number.
No, don't!
My phone is nearly out of batteries.
She just stepped out for a moment and will be right back.
Where is she now?
Where's So Ra?
So Ra...
went to buy medicine.
I wasn't feeling well so I asked her to come home early.
I'm so dizzy.
Are you all right?
Maybe you should go to the hospital?
It's better to rest at home than go to the hospital.
You're working as a model and as a secretary.
You must be exhausted.
I thought about how it must be hard on you,
but that's as far as I got.
I'm sorry.
When will So Ra be back?
So Ra probably can't find a pharmacy that's open,
so she's running around looking.
I'm sorry about bothering So Ra.
Don't be silly.
When you're sick, of course your friends should take care of you.
Head Manager.
Go on.
Please stay here with me.
All right.
I'll stay here with you until So Ra comes back.
If it hadn't been for the chairman,
I wouldn't be who I am now.
I'm so grateful to him.
I'll repay that debt.
Do you know about the relationship between Director Kang's mother and Chairman Yoon?
What?
If Director Kang finds out how his mother died,
there will be big trouble.
Chan Jin.
Waiting for the person you love is tough,
isn't it?
Please wait.
Give up on So Ra.
I don't want to hurt Jun Su sunbae,
so...
I have to distance myself from you.
Isn't this Jin Ju's phone?
What?
I'm saved as Byun So*? (*bathroom)
That brat.
Jun Su waited for you until he fell asleep.
Hurry home, brat.
Why are you running around when you're sick?
A sick patient should act like one.
You're not fully recovered yet.
Are you leaving?
Yeah.
You called me a sick patient,
so why are you abandoning me?
Umm...
Go ahead and leave.
I'll sleep better if I don't have to listen to you snore.
I don't snore.
Sleep well then. I'll see you tomorrow.
Hey!
Where's Jun Su sunbae?
I lied and told him I'm sick and you went to buy medicine.
Thanks, Wang Jin Ju.
Delete the nickname Byun So.
What about you calling me Wang Annoying?
How is Chan Jin?
They said it was the cold and the stress which led to stomach flu.
That's strange, huh?
He can even digest rocks.
With the amount of stress he's under, that's enough to cause the stomach flu.
You make it sound like I'm the cause.
You take some and give some.
What are you talking about?
Where is Jun Su sunbae?
In my room.
What? Your room?
I'm pretending to be sick right now.
Right.
My stomach really does hurt.
So Ra.
Sunbae.
When something like this happens, you should call me.
I was worried about you.
I'm sorry. That's all I can say.
I wanted to officially introduce you to my father today.
The Chairman came today too?
You, a low-level assistant manager, blew off the chairman.
I'll definitely lose points for this.
But, you should have told me in advance,
that you wanted me to meet the chairman.
If I had told you beforehand,
would you have obediently come with me?
Nope.
Exactly.
I don't want to wait anymore.
Every night I think to myself,
if I just walk 10 meters, I can see So Ra.
Then I suddenly thought to myself,
why must I sleep 10 meters away?
That's what I keep thinking.
Why can't I sleep next to you?
Sunbae.
Whenever I call for So Ra,
It'd be great if you could hear me calling you, "So Ra," like this all the time.
For our entire lifetime.
Sunbae.
What's going on? He stayed out all night.
[Jun Su hyung]
The person you are calling is not available, please leave a message after the beep.
What's the matter with you?
You should've called if you weren't coming home.
Don't you think about the people who are worried about you?
People will think you're my wife if they overhear you nagging me.
What happened?
I had gastroenteritis/stomach cramps, so I spent the night at the hospital.
Why didn't you let me know?
Did you stay at the hospital overnight alone?
Yeah.
If you're like this then it's meaningless for us to live together.
I didn't want to bother you.
Would you feel it's a bother to take care of me when I'm sick?
We're family, aren't we?
I've thought of you as my brother for 15 years.
Apparently you don't feel the same.
I feel the same way,
and that's the reason why I...
I was wrong.
Next time I'm sick, I'll make sure to get your permission to get sick.
Don't get sick.
I'll die if you get sick again.
A lot of people were sick yesterday.
Who else was sick?
Jin Ju.
Yesterday, I wanted to introduce So Ra to my dad,
but Jin Ju was sick so So Ra took care of her and didn't come.
Don't worry about work today. Get some rest.
How can I rest? The Do An makeup show is today.
Are you really okay?
Yes.
Hey.
It's not good to take medicine on an empty stomach.
I'll ask Secretary Nam to bring some porridge. Eat porridge.
I have a meeting to go to so I'm leaving first.
Take your time coming in.
I'm sorry.
About what?
About everything.
I'm sorry too.
For what?
For everything too.
You had a date with the head manager,
but you ran home when you found out Chan Jin was sick.
While you were taking care of Chan Jin,
you ran back when you found out the head manager was waiting.
Do you know what that's called?
It's called two-timing.
You don't know anything.
You think I don't know how your mind works?
First love makes your heart flutter,
but a 10 year friendship is stuck on you.
That's why you can't let go of one's hand
but you can't grasp onto the other's hand either.
Am I right?
Bring this to Chan Jin and don't say I made it.
Will he believe that?
When you make rice, it turns into porridge anyway.
Tell him you're bad at cooking rice, and that you can only make porridge,
he'll believe you then.
You bring it to him! Why do I have to?
Didn't you tell me not to be a two-timer?
Fine, can't you give up on your first love then?
Don't pick a fight with me first thing in the morning.
Looking at you now,
I'd be led to believe you can't let go of the head manager.
Chan Jin is the one you love!
You need to hurry up and realize that.
Byun So Ra,
I'm going to work now, you're not stopping by to see me?
You didn't even call,
rotten Byun So Ra.
Chan Jin.
Jin Ju, why are you here?
I made porridge.
You're not going to work?
There's the Do An makeup show today, right?
I don't have to go to the office, I'm heading directly to the site.
You look quite ill,
your face looks pale and tired.
I look sexier, right?
Did you really cook this?
I'm an expert at making porridge.
Taste it.
What?
It doesn't taste good?
It's delicious.
So Ra got up extra early to...
I'm busted.
So Ra told me not to tell.
I can figure it out without you telling me.
I've been eating her cooking for such a long time.
You're really going to get sick if you keep it up.
Don't lock everything in your heart.
Be honest and tell So Ra how you feel.
How do you feel?
Are you okay?
No, I'm not.
I'm just pretending it doesn't matter
so my pride won't be so hurt.
But I'm reaching my limit.
Whenever I see him, I feel greedy.
If I don't see him, I miss him.
My heart isn't listening to me.
Jin Ju,
is it fine for you to eat nonstop?
Today's the Do An makeup show, isn't it?
That's right!
Why are you only telling me now?
Oh no! I ate so much.
I'm leaving.
Jin Ju, all the best!
All the best!
Oh no! I better run home.
How can they treat me like that?!
How dare they veto my budget decrease proposal!
I'm Seong Ae Shim!
I thought the head manager had only a stubborn mind.
Director Kang helped him block this.
Director Kang is naturally mild-mannered,
that's why he's on good terms with the board of directors.
Plus he's never hidden the fact
that he wants to push the head manager to the top.
That's probably...
why the board of directors is siding with the head manager.
That's unacceptable.
Yes, Director?
Send for Byun So Ra.
Tell her I want to see her.
Yes, I understand.
As you all already know,
this Do An makeup show...
will determine whether our new product line survives or fails. Got it?
That means a lot of reporters and celebrities will come.
Of course. They have to take pictures of me.
Aigoo. Aigoo. You're getting more and more out of hand.
There will be a lot of eminent people coming,
so be extra careful and take good care of them.
If a famous celebrity uploads photos of us online,
the makeup show will be a huge success.
Do you have any fresh or amazing ideas?
I'll strip naked and dance on stage.
Manager, forget it.
You've got nothing worth showing.
Hey!
Manager Park has a lot worth showing...!
But...
Anyway, keep a close tail on the important figures,
and promote our products.
But, I don't think that'll work.
What?
We shouldn't be paying attention to important people,
we should be focused on our model Wang Jin Ju, right?
If Wang Jin Ju shines then our Do An will shine as well.
Our marketing professor does come up with better ideas.
Exactly.
Fine, then let our marketing professor
provide doctorate level support to our models.
Go see Wang Jin Ju.
I got it.
Secretary Wu,
are you here to see me today?
I'm sorry, Jason. I'm here to see Assistant Manager Byun.
Why are you looking for Assistant Manager Byun?
The director is looking for her.
Let's go.
Okay.
Director Seong, Assistant Manager Byun is here.
I thought you were a proactive person,
I guess I was wrong.
Until I sent for you, you made no move at all.
I have to prepare for the makeup show,
so please simply state your key points.
You must have matters more important than that?
The death of Kang Chan Jin's mother.
I believe that isn't a matter I should be involved with.
It doesn't matter to you if Director Kang,
finds out that his mother died because of Chairman Yoon?
I can't make any decisions on my own
about such a serious matter.
That's why I wanted to go see Chairman Yoon,
and ask him for advice about what to do.
Will that do?
If this is a matter that Chairman Yoon shouldn't know about,
then the head manager and director don't need to know either.
Please excuse me.
Congratulations.
I hear that the budget reduction proposal didn't pass.
Thanks. It was all thanks to you.
I hear you went to see the directors and asked them to help out.
I didn't do it for you, I did it for the company.
The problem is the moisture line.
If we want full control of the company,
then the moisture line must succeed.
But the sales figures have remained stagnant.
After the makeup show, do some promotions and things will be fine.
Hyung, that's why...
Jin Ju.
So Ra!
How do I look? Do I look strange?
Yeah, you look really strange.
Really? Oh no!
You look so pretty my eyes hurt,
that's why I'm wondering if you are the bad-tempered Jin Ju or not.
Hey, Byun So Ra!
So Ra,
I keep feeling like I'm about to cry.
Why?
Did you get mascara in your eye?
No,
because I'm so happy.
You know too.
My dream as a child was to become a model.
Even though I'm just a company model,
I'm really happy.
I'm happy.
Wang Jin Ju, I acknowledge it now.
What?
You're really pretty. You're the best.
So today, you have to be confident,
and hold your head up high.
Got it?
So Ra.
It would be perfect if a prince appeared now, right?
Who knows?
Maybe a prince will show up with a pop.
Are you going to let me continue to embarrass myself here?
Having me, the head manager personally introduce the
company model will be more effective promotionally.
That's what they think at the top.
You want me to attend the event with Jin Ju?
The successor to the company escorts the new model to the event,
that will help promote the new product line.
It'll also be a great opportunity to show yourself at this event as well.
I'm only the head manager, not the successor.
Final decisions haven't been made yet.
This company belongs to you.
The chairman pitied me so he transferred me some shares.
You'll be the one to lead the company in the future.
I think it's best if I support you from behind.
What?
Are you dissatisfied with what I'm saying?
I wouldn't dare to express dissatisfaction, Director Kang.
This is just work, work.
You're forbidden to misunderstand.
You're forbidden to be selfish.
Wang Jin Ju, what kind of expression is that?
I'm an employee at L'aura Cosmetics too.
As a marketing analyst, I think this is a pretty good idea.
Bring it over.
It's so pretty.
So Ra, look.
It's really pretty, isn't it?
Yeah.
We will now begin L'aura Cosmetics 2012 Spring/Summer New Line.
New Product Launch Show.
First up on stage we have this season's new model, Jason Kater.
Please greet him with a round of applause.
Jason is an employee who transformed into a model.
Once again, please welcome him warmly with cheers and applause.
I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude,
to all of the guests here in attendance,
at our Do An Cosmetics Press Launch.
Now I'd like to welcome the main star of the Do An show to the stage!
Head Manager, you generally do not
make an appearance at these public events.
Do you have a special reason
for coming to this event today?
The special reason...
is this lady.
Was there any special reason for replacing Seo Ju Kyung
with a new model?
As you can all see,
it's because she's more beautiful and elegant than any other woman.
Wang Jin Ju,
do you feel nervous about being selected as the new model?
I'm not nervous at all
because the head manager is beside me.
Please look this way.
This way as well.
It's just work, work.
You all worked hard today.
But, Head Manager,
now that the event is over,
how about we go out for a drink to celebrate?
Sure. We should go out and celebrate.
Great!
Where is everyone going?
They've already headed over to a restaurant.
But I don't see Assistant Manager Byun and the director?
- Yeah. - Here they are.
Good work, everyone.
Good work.
- Oh my! - Chan Jin!
Chan Jin, are you okay?
So Ra, are you okay?
You're sure you don't need to go to the hospital?
I'm fine. It's just a scratch.
I'm sorry, Chan Jin.
This feels pretty nice.
I get to enjoy the special services of two beautiful women.
Are you envious, Hyung?
Thanks for saving So Ra.
Why are you thanking me?
So Ra is important to me too.
Because we're friends.
You already went to the hospital once yesterday.
Poor thing.
That hurts. Do it lightly.
You said you're fine, right?
Yes, but do it lightly. Do it lightly.
Clean it well.
Seriously, stop moving.
Lightly. Lightly.
Seriously, stop moving.
[The Color of Woman]
[Behind the Veil, L'aura's Successor Makes First Appearance]
Our head manager's photo came out pretty well.
He's quite handsome...
Who's randomly calling him successor?
Why aren't you blocking things like that?
Director, didn't you say to just ignore the people
who might be beneficial to the head manager?
I purposely ignored it.
Are you a robot?
Do you only do what I command you to?
I actually believed in someone like you.
I'm so angry.
Bring me a glass of ice water.
I said bring me ice water, didn't you hear me?
[Cinderella hugging a 2nd Generation Conglomerate]
Secretary Wang,
aren't you going to work?
Just a minute.
What are you doing?
Bring the director some ice water.
Secretary Wang, ice water.
Found it.
Isn't the headline so perfect?
Cinderella.
The photos came out pretty too.
If it gets tidied up a little bit then it'll be a masterpiece.
What?
Cinderella.
Why has he still not brought me ice water?
Director. Director, look...
Are you having trouble seeing it?
What?
No, sorry.
What's this?
Who is this?
This was taken on the last night of the year,
when I was tailing the head manager.
I snapped a photo of Wang Jin Ju
and the head manager going into a hotel.
Secretary Nam,
I find you incredibly lovable during moments like these.
Thanks.
Good job!
Seriously.
Can you wipe it away like that?
During dire times,
this is how we should protect our jobs.
How long do we have to keep living like this?
That's true.
Let's spread some scandals too, how about it?
Scandal?
Hotel scandal.
Hotel scandal?
Boss...
[Cinderella and 2nd Generation Chaebol's Hotel Scandal]
Should we let her see this?
We have to show it to her, right?
So Ra noona just left.
Really?
What in the world is going on today?
What if So Ra noona faints when she finds out?
That's true.
Hey, but how did you find out?
That? Suddenly... boom!
So Ra noona, that guy won't do.
Don't stand there. Hurry and move away.
She can't avoid it.
Should we go back now?
How could you say that?
Since this has happened anyway...
[Cinderella and 2nd Generation Chaebol's Hotel Scandal]
What the hell are you doing?!
Why didn't you block something like this?!
I'm sorry.
I'm doing my best to control the damage to the head manager's reputation.
That... that Wang-Wang Jin Ju,
is she really in some sort of relationship with Jun Su?
There's nothing going on with Wang Jin Ju.
the problem is Assistant Manager Byun So Ra and...
And what?
And Director Kang Chan Jin.
Chan Jin? Now what are you saying?
Director Kang and Assistant Manager Byun have had
a close relationship for the past 10 years since college.
Aren't they friends?
They're more than friends.
Since college,
Director Kang has practically lived at Assistant Manager Byun's house.
There are rumors at the office.
Is this information reliable?
Yes, Sir.
If the head manager and Director Kang come into conflict over a woman,
even Director Kang will find out the secret about his mother.
Then everything will spiral out of control.
I want Wang Jin Ju to break up Byun So Ra and the head manager's side.
You can also consider it a form of marketing
to hype up our product.
- Hello? That's not how it is. - Hello?
- Reporter Kim... - No, Wang Jin Ju...
- That's impossible. - We find it completely outlandish.
- No, of course not. - No way.
Of course not.
What are you talking about?
- Regarding the erroneous and false reports, - Hello? Marketing Dept, So Ra speaking.
- I have no comment at this time. Sorry. - I have no comment at this time. Sorry.
Reporter Kim, what are you saying right now?
Of course it's not.
I'm sorry.
You'll give me travel vouchers?
- No, the truth is... - Manager!
Geez, Reporter Kim!
What do you think I am?!
Do you think I'm that fickle?
Seriously!
- Hello? - Hello?
- Hel- - Sheesh. He hung up.
Right now, real time searches are blowing up more than usual.
Wang Jin Ju.
L'aura Cosmetics,
Do An Line,
Yoon Jun Su.
It looks like this marketing plan really is working.
What about the real girlfriend Assistant Manager Byun?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Yes.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Are you here to see me?
Yeah.
I'm stepping out to chat, be right back.
Okay, fine.
Of course you need to chat...
Let's go.
It must be embarrassing since they're friends and live together.
Do you hate me a lot?
How could it get this far?
It's fine. I understand.
But you must be feeling down, right?
I said it's fine.
What is Jun Su sunbae doing?
If we set up a press conference, that should clarify everything right?
I don't think that's a good idea.
I was originally planning to propose to So Ra.
If she says yes, then it'll all blow over.
But, I can't just ignore this scandal.
Of course not.
You can't appear insincere about wanting to marry So Ra.
That's the problem. So Ra...
Am I disturbing you two?
So Ra.
Chan Jin, excuse us?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
You're not mad?
I'll disregard my principles for the moment.
You explained everything last time,
why would I still be mad?
Do you think I'm such a petty woman?
What?
Then you don't care at all?
I'm kind of disappointed that you're not jealous at all.
I trust you,
so I don't need to waste energy on things like this.
Let's think about how to deal with all this first.
You are truly my woman, one who is so generous.
Thanks for being my girlfriend.
Keep working hard.
Let's get married.
Then we don't have to worry about scandals anymore.
Sunbae.
Save some time for me later tonight,
I have something to say.
If you blow me off again, I'll be mad.
I won't.
Even if the sky falls, I'll definitely still come.
What kind of expression is that?
The chairman asked for your number,
so I gave it to him.
The chairman wanted my number?
May I ask who this is?
L'aura Cosmetics' Marketing Dept, Team 1,
Assistant Manager Byun So Ra.
I'm here to see the chairman.
Jin Ju,
you haven't left work yet?
No.
You want me to drive you home, huh?
You want to tell me something?
What?
Go on.
Sir, you wanted to see me?
[Chan Jin]
Chan Jin's not answering his phone either.
Did something happen?
You're really treating me like a queen.
I want you to live like a queen for the rest of your life.
Are you hungry?
Shall we eat?
No, I'm not.
I have something to give you.
Me too.
What's this?
100 million won.
What 100 million won?
The person who breaks the contract
has to pay the other person 100 million won.
Sunbae,
let's break up.
What?
Why?
If you follow my plan, you'll become Cinderella.
How did my mother die?
We are lovers.
We met ten years ago at the library.
What the hell are you doing without my permission?
I'm just following Director Kang's instructions.
