Color of Woman
Episode 13
[A Variety of Secrets Exposed]
I'm sorry.
Do you like her that much?
Was that the first time you've ever been slapped?
Are you complaining about that?
I did do something that deserved a slap.
It's good to experience different things.
You must be tired. Go and get some sleep.
Have you been sleeping there all this time?
Where else is there for me to sleep?
Let's go.
You have a place to sleep, why stay here and suffer?
I was planning to let you come home today anyway.
I shut off the heat in my room.
Did you turn it back on?
Nope.
I'll freeze to death then.
I need to pack anyway.
I'll sleep here for one night and go back tomorrow.
Then sleep in my room. I'll sleep here.
You?
Lying here like this makes me think of the past.
The first time you came to my house,
you'd wake up in the night and come to my room saying you were scared.
Yes.
I don't know why I had so many nightmares back then.
Not just you, I had nightmares too.
You had nightmares too?
My bedroom was huge and I was all alone in there.
So you should thank me then.
Thank you.
I was joking.
Thank you for telling me the reason So Ra was mad.
If you hadn't told me, we would've ended up breaking up.
From now on, I won't interfere anymore.
I'll do a good job...
for you as well.
I want So Ra to give this to me herself in the future.
I understand, Hyung.
Turn off the lights, Chan Jin.
Hey, Yoon Jun Su, you!
I'm sorry, So Ra.
Have I lost my mind?
A dream, it was definitely a dream.
It was definitely a dream.
What are you doing?
I want to talk to you.
I don't want to create any misunderstandings.
You caused this situation. Leave.
So Ra.
I'm so sorry...
that I don't even know how to tell you how I sorry I am.
You lied.
I lied because...
it wasn't easy for us to start over.
I didn't want to make you sad or quarrel with you.
Those are all excuses.
It's not.
I feel exactly the same way you do.
I've never lied to you.
I was afraid it would lead to us breaking up.
You didn't say why you were mad,
and you kept it bottled inside just like I did, didn't you?
I won't repeat what I did last time and run away.
No matter what the situation is,
we'll talk it over and resolve it.
I promise you.
How can I believe your words?
Ten years ago it was like that
and this time it's like that again.
I guess a mirror, once broken, will always have a crack.
I absolutely won't break up with you.
That's my only wish, to not break up with you.
We absolutely can't break up.
No matter what happens,
I'll protect you.
Don't cry anymore. Give me a hug.
If you keep crying, then "jjamppong*." (*seafood noodles)
Did you not sleep well?
No. Actually I'm more tired from sleeping too well.
Good thing you say you slept well,
then you won't fall asleep during the meeting.
What is your reason for vehemently opposing my business proposal?
The global economy is in a recession.
The sales index is expecting a fall.
I think it's time to tighten our belts.
Do I need to make it any clearer?
I think that while other organizations are wavering,
we should be decisive, and invest and expand our business.
You can't give up your special line, is that it?
That is impossible.
I understand.
If you continue to resist, I'll have to come up with my own ideas.
I hope you plan to only think, not act,
because I will make no further concessions.
You're not going to be giving way, but acknowledge it.
Money is easy to spend, but extremely difficult to earn.
Congratulations,
on becoming L'aura Cosmetics' first ever in-house models.
I'll be expecting great things,
because of all the cosmetics spokespeople I've seen,
you two are the most handsome and prettiest.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Also, I was the person to design the brand logo that was selected.
Manager Park appears to only be inspired when monetary awards are involved.
Inspiration is just one of those things
that pops up out of the blue and can't be held back.
Let's all go back to the office.
Oh yes.
Are these the designs for the current season?
I had no idea our country has clothes like these.
How did you get that?
I got it from overseas. The color is pretty nice, right?
This red color is very pretty.
It'd look even prettier if you were to wear it.
Of course.
This is strange...
Oh...
This is an employee who started with us last month,
Assistant Manager Byun.
This is the famous stylist who has a business collaboration with our company.
I see.
But the clothing doesn't fit our ad concept.
What?
Assistant Manager Byun!
If the ad concept is categorized by
ambiance, substance, impressions, activity, and awareness...
Assistant Manager Byun,
from the perspective of this freshly-developed founder...
Our freshly-developed product line
needs clothing with a more public appeal.
But this clothing is too extravagant and luxurious...
Our Assistant Manager Byun is a little unique.
Wow.
What do you think?
What? You think they look bad?
Umm...
That...
Especially the clothing used for the cosmetics ad,
We need to use abstract and emotional feeling, and create a visual effect.
Well then, what kind of clothing do you want?
Could you be more specific?
Something that's...
elegant and formal,
that is...
It seems that you're reciting fashion from books.
Wow. I see sparks flying.
That is the topic that has led to such a heated discussion?
Assistant Manager Byun says she's not very satisfied with the clothing design.
The stylist's temper is rising.
Long time no see.
Your shoes are really cool.
I bought them last week.
I expect no less from you.
Is the clothing bad?
I can't really say.
Assistant Manager Byun is in charge of the ad.
Assistant Manager Byun?
Um... what?
What do you think about the color of this dress?
I think the color is very flattering for the model's skin tone.
How about the texture?
The texture is soft and nice.
The color and texture are pretty much what we want.
So formal clothing would be more suitable, right?
And you,
bring out the model's solid and pure face,
and focus on her luminescent skin.
Also, besides the lips, apply lighter makeup.
Instead of feeling, I want this man to sell makeup to me,
I want them to feel, I want him to apply the makeup on me.
Okay?
One thing at a time, take it slowly.
Thanks.
Just based on today, I have a long way to go.
Take it slowly.
Okay.
Keep working hard.
You're leaving?
I have a full day of meetings scheduled for today.
Tomorrow, I'll cancel all my meetings and I'll be on location all day.
Okay.
I won't be so accommodating tomorrow.
Keep up the good work, everyone.
Yes, we will.
So Ra, are you okay?
You've been coming here frequently,
ever since Board Member Kang was promoted.
Our relationship was good while you were in America too.
You can't possibly be as close to Chan Jin as I am.
Is that really the case?
Is there a line forming outside my door now?
Do I need to see you in order of arrival?
I'll defer.
It won't be much longer until you both have a peaceful time together.
Looks like Director Seong came over here with a specific idea in mind.
This isn't going to work.
Don't oppose just because it's her idea.
Think it over carefully first.
Are you saying I'm wrong?
That's not what I meant.
Three years ago we made a similar investment...
I wasn't here at that time, right?
That's true.
Oh...
shall we go to the grocery store together on the way home?
I still have a lot of work to do.
I'll go.
Go with you?
You've never officially invited me over to your place before.
I hear the food you cook is delicious.
Can't you do your work after you get home?
I'll help you.
It's not work that you can help with.
Don't get in my way, you two go on a date.
Go.
You have to add scallions first.
You don't eat scallions, right?
You still remember that?
How could I possibly forget the expression on your face
when you bite into raw scallions?
You're so bad.
I really like eating green onions.
I like potatoes too.
What else?
And carrots too.
My favorite is...
scallions and potatoes.
Enough already.
The woman who washes them, that is.
Didn't you want me to tell you I love you, every day?
Did you see my pledge of love?
Plagiarizing is my specialty.
At this rate, we won't be eating.
Don't worry.
I'll make delicious Yoon Jun Su curry for you straight away.
I let the water soak for too long.
The ramyun So Ra makes for me is the best.
The hard noodles.
Eat dinner, have tea...
What time do I have to hold out until?
Director Seong!
When did you arrive?
Just now. I saw the door was open.
May I come in?
Yes.
Do you need a cup?
That...
It's a couples cup. It's pretty.
Don't use that one. Use this one.
Why?
That one is Chan...
It's brand new so I want to boil it in hot water first.
All right.
So Ra, I'm so tire...
You're here?
I came over to eat.
Have you eaten?
There's still some stew left.
The shoot is tomorrow.
My face will be bloated if I eat this late, so no thanks.
I'm going in to rest.
Sunbae, you better hurry and leave.
I don't want to be separated from you.
We'll see each other again tomorrow.
You better go.
Jin Ju is here.
The ambiance is different today.
You usually give off the air of a wealthy son.
I only resemble a wealthy son, I'm not really one.
Really?
In that case, it'll be easy for us to communicate,
because you're much more practical than the head manager.
[2012 Half Yearly Budget]
At the next board meeting,
I'd like my proposal for a budget decrease to be approved.
The anniversary day of your mother's death is approaching.
It's this Sunday, right?
You appear to have been close to her.
You even remember her anniversary date.
Of course I remember.
She was a very pitiful person.
I hope you will cease mentioning a person who is already deceased.
Your mother would be sad if she knew that her son
isn't the slightest bit curious about her cause of death.
These are changes to your schedule for today.
Isn't your schedule more important than my schedule?
Don't you have a shoot today?
I plan to leave shortly.
I'll drive you.
You told me not to try hard…
so why are you being so nice to me?
I'm the type to get confused easily.
I hope that we can have a good relationship.
I mean it...
A partnership.
I believe you and I can become excellent partners.
I was the one who organized the in-house model contest.
I hope you will do the job well.
Partnership.
Miss Byun So Ra,
why are you still here instead of heading over to the shooting site?
I'm preparing the promotional schedule for Yoon Line.
Isn't the shooting set for this afternoon?
You're supposed to be over there before shooting starts, aren't you?
You need to check out the site and also the models' makeup.
Also, the location progress and whatnot, aren't you going to write a report?
Oh, okay.
Miss Mi So, aren't you going with her?
Oh, yes.
Assistant Manager Song,
why are you showing your (devil's) horns so early in the morning?
I'm not. These people!
They ought to go about their work without waiting for me to tell them to.
Jason, aren't you going too?
You should head over at the same time they're leaving.
Okay, I'm going.
- I'm leaving. - I'm leaving.
Carefully pack the things that are easily misplaced.
Hurry on over. Hurry. Hurry over.
We're leaving.
Should I go too?
This way, we're the one only ones left in the marketing department, right?
Oh, seriously...
You look ten years older than Wang Jin Ju.
Don't you feel bad?
Describing it as a maid is a bit, you know…
Assistant Manager Byun, is this your first time at a shoot?
A maid would be a euphemism.
A lackey would be more direct.
A lackey?
Am I your lackey*? (*famous line from movie "Friend")
You've never heard that before?
Oh... yes.
Wow. An absolute fairy.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Very pretty.
Okay.
Very pretty. Okay.
Very pretty. Great.
Okay. Okay.
The photos are coming out nicely.
This one?
The one before this one. Yes.
- This one? - Yes. That one.
This one seems more suitable.
Yes, now that I look it, it seems better.
Let's do another one.
Smile!
Very pretty.
Okay.
You're totally smiling like a proud mom.
This is the first time I've seen this side of Jin Ju.
Okay.
- She looks cool. I'm proud of her. - Okay. It's good. I looks very good.
1, 2, okay.
Oh, yeah.
Why didn't you come home last night?
Why? Do you feel like you're missing something if I'm not there?
Huh?
Oh...
Hey, it's your fault for being so tall.
If such a tall person is missing from the couch suddenly...
You've been inconvenienced because of me recently, huh?
Oh! Assistant Manager Byun, are you alright?
Yes.
It must be your first time at a shoot.
You have to be on alert at all times here.
Oh, I see.
Here's the next outfit.
Okay.
- You're here? - Yeah.
Hyung.
I am here, but as soon as I arrived...
Sunbae!
You're not hoarding the snacks for yourself, right?
Take a break from shooting.
Let's all take a short break from shooting.
What if someone sees us?
Don't worry, it'll be fine.
The poster shooting is today,
so everyone from the marketing department is working off-site.
Is that so?
Perhaps.
Goodness.
We haven't had a moment like this in ages.
What do you think you're doing? The director is still in her office.
For the sake of raising a strong and healthy son,
look at the condition your hands are in.
It's been so tough on you.
It makes me feel strange to see you acting like this at work.
I feel that way too, Mi Rae.
Manager Park!
Oh, Secretary Nam.
Oh, you two... This is...
Then the two of you are also...?
G-go on.
Hubby, let's leave.
Hubby?
That means the two of you aren't dating,
you're married?
Married, what? It was just a slip of the tongue.
Yes, sometimes my words get mixed up.
Let's go, let's go.
Aigoo, how can you be so foolish?
Wife, how could you slip up like that?
Wife?
Manager Cho, are you all right?
Oh no, it's just that it's such a shocking truth.
You can keep this a secret right?
What do you take my mouth for? I'm putting my zipper on.
Anyway,
if good things happen to me,
then how would the ranking be?
Oh, you're thinking ahead again.
Anyway,
do both of us also have to be a secret couple later?
Oh my, I can see my future, it's pretty painful.
Oh, I want to love too!
Right?
Because you feel 'if I put on the product they're putting on, then I can love too'.
You're right. As expected of you Director.
Jin Ju your face doesn't seem alive.
When you love a man, you know the loving expressions...
Um your expression is all right now, but it seems a bit forced...
You've been in love before right?
Yes...
Okay, let's try that again.
Jin Ju,
think that the person you love is in front of you, and smile...
I present my love to you.
Cheers!
Oh,
but how is it that all the heroines aren't here?
You're right. Eesun* is just over there having fun.
(*They shortened Ja-ee-sun, to Eesun)
Jin Ju said she's going to exercise.
She was saying
how her body doesn't seem like what it was before, after seeing the pictures.
But how did Assistant Manager Song and Manager Park get here.
you guys weren't even at the site?
Of course, I called them. Because today's the Marketing Team's get-together.
Yeah!
It's the entire Marketing Team's get-together,
it wouldn't be right if we aren't here.
Also, we came here right after work.
We weren't playing around before coming here.
- Of course - You don't even know!
I usually don't get angry but...
Yeah.
Anyhow, I don't see Director Kang anywhere.
Oh, he said that he had something he must do today.
After he became a director, I think you're making him do too much.
Me, when?
Oh my, oh my, oh my, what is that?
Assistant Manager Byun!
Are you trying to be charming in front of your boyfriend? Oh my, how awkward!
What do you mean lover?
I mean there's such a big rumor going around in the company.
I accidently said it out loud. I'm sorry...
No it's all right. It's true that we are going out.
Oh my,
it's something that everyone knows and he exposes it nicely!
As expected, a man is all about his reactions!
By the way,
now you two only have to find a date* right? (*date for marriage)
It's not something to be advanced.
It's just Head Manager and I...
We're in a serious relationship.
I'm here... so these two are a couple?
I thought Assistant Manager Byun and Director Kang were a couple.
Me and Chan Jin?
I mean Director Kang?
No way!
Jason you don't have as much wit as I thought you did.
That's right.
But it's only right...
that Jason thinks like that...
because normally Director Kang and you have a caring heart for each other.
We've been friends for over 10 years.
Oh, a man and woman having a friendship lasting over 10 years...
This means that one person really really likes the other person.
I'm just saying, it's universally true, not saying that it's true about you,
Byun So Ra, and Director Kang.
Then Head Manager what do you think of their friendship?
Friendship is only friendship.
Give up on So Ra.
Do you still remember?
As long as you don't change, then our relationship won’t change either.
Here.
Let's go... home.
Don't come.
[Pledge of Love]
If you love this way, then Byun So Ra, you won't have a reason to cry.
Are you going somewhere?
Home. You came with Hyung right?
Sunbae went back to the company.
I think he's pretty busy because of the budgets.
Hyung is living with me because he doesn't want to live in a dark house.
You don't know that right?
Oh.
I think Hyung will like it if I go back.
You knew that and you were enduring it?
You're bad.
Now, if you and Hyung have a lover's quarrel I'm going to ignore it.
While cleaning up after you guys, I feel like I'll keep losing other women.
Don't worry, we won't fight now.
Trust in Hyung a lot, and always...
express your feelings honestly.
You're only going back to the front house, isn't your statement a bit too sad?
I'm going.
Be good.
I'm hungry.
Can't you eat dinner with me and leave?
I can't.
I quit eating the food you make.
Will I really not be able to eat Byun So Ra's rice now?
That cheapskate, will something happen if he eats food with me?
Let's see if I make you food anymore.
Did he take it?
He's really a cheapskate!
Here. Here.
Thank you.
Sure.
Let's try it.
Why are you looking at me like that?
It's embarrassing.
Hey.
It's sad to eat all alone, so eat it slowly and a lot.
Stop it, it's weird.
If you have something you want to order,
then hurry up and say it.
They're always next to each other; they don't get lonely.
Why do they know this only once someone leaves?
Humans are... tsk tsk...
Hello.
Oh, Hyung! Where are you going?
The soup is really delicious. Want a bowl?
I ate dinner, I'll come later.
Hold on wait.
Come inside.
Here.
Oh, I was about to go buy some digestive medicine.
Does my face show I have an upset stomach?
Of course, even if you smile I can see it all.
Here, I'll open it for you.
Here.
Just drink it up quickly! Quickly!
Thank you. Ah, I can live now.
From now on,
a lot of things will happen that will make your stomach upset.
I'll chew my food well.
Byun So Ra is pretty even without makeup.
But I didn't tell her she was pretty enough times.
Kang Chan Jin, why were you like that?
So Ra.
From now on, your name is So Ra.
You're back?
Yeah. Welcome back.
In a few days when I don't clean up, those words will go right back in your mouth.
You do things to get yourself in trouble right after you come.
What did So Ra say?
So Ra won't take me in anymore, so don't kick me out.
Because I have nowhere to go.
Rest.
Chan Jin,
it was only for a while, but you're gone and it feels empty.
You ate dinner right?
[Jun Su sunbae]
Yes, Sunbae?
What are you doing?
I'm going to go wash.
Are you thinking about taking a shower?
Oh, you're being sly!
You like those things.
Me, when?
- So Ra, us tomorrow... - What is Chan Jin doing?
Oh, I think he's sleeping.
Sunbae.
You can't kick out Chan Jin anymore because of me.
Do you know how much Chan Jin thinks of you Sunbae?
I know.
I know you think of me a lot too.
It's fine, that you know.
Then I'm going to wash and sleep first.
All right, see you tomorrow.
Yes.
Are you going to a wedding?
No. An important appointment.
A girl?
The most beautiful...
Get going. Oh and I might be late from work today.
I think you're working too hard nowadays.
Watch and learn.
I can smell the delicious food from here.
Is it just the smell?
It's an eggroll that you'll die for if you eat it by yourself.
Hurry up and come.
Can't you come here?
With a lunchbox.
Lunchbox?
I need to go to the company right now.
I want you to be next to me while I work.
I'll probably be a distraction if I'm next to you.
Because you'll be busy looking at my face.
Help me with work.
Stop thinking about other things.
I made a lot of eggrolls so Chan Jin could eat too.
Chan Jin went out.
Where?
To see a girl.
Oh, because it's the weekend.
I'm not going to eat lunch and wait.
Who is it?
I don't think there was any girl he was meeting recently.
[So Ra]
Yeah, So Ra?
Oh, I forgot.
Where are you?
I'm on my way, it's all right that you know now.
Where are you now?
House.
- Then I'll... - Hey Kang Chan Jin,
you haven't gone on a date in a long time, you must be feeling good.
You fixed the wheels of my suitcase and cleaned the bathroom mat and dishes.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Have fun on your date.
I'm going to be at the company with Jun Su sunbae today.
That must be nice.
Have fun.
I'm hanging up.
I cooked low calorie soup and side dishes, so don't starve yourself and eat.
Oh, this looks good.
This is Chan Jin's.
Yours is there.
I don't eat things that don't look pretty!
That's good.
Then don't eat and stop drooling over Chan Jin's food.
Also, after you eat do the dishes.
Word after word, Chan Jin, Chan Jin.
Have you heard of Kang Chan Jin disease?
What? Disease?
Even if you're happy or depressed, and even with this eggroll, it's all about Chan Jin.
Does Head Manager know you're being like this?
Hey Wang Jin Ju.
It's because you don't have a friend that's been with you for 10 years.
We know all about each other.
What we like and what we dislike.
How our relationship was and how our family relationships are.
Chan Jin even knows my mom and dad's birth...
Why?
What's today's date?
January 15th.
I think I'm crazy.
Chan Jin...
Today is Chan Jin's mother's death anniversary.
Mom,
I'm here by myself today, are you sad?
So Ra and Jun Su hyung are both busy.
Mom,
you should've told me earlier.
That without So Ra,
it'll be hard on me.
Ah, Byun So Ra, why isn't she coming?
I'm so hungry.
Just wait until she comes, I'm going to give her 100 jjambbongs...
[Director Park]
Yes, Director Park.
I found out the secret of Director Kang Chan Jin.
It's about Chan Jin's mother.
I don't want to say anything about that matter.
Do you, perhaps, know the relationship between Director Kang's mother...
and Chairman Yoon?
Don't you want to stop Head Manager and Director Kang from becoming enemies?
Hwang Yeon Ji.
Kang Chan Jin.
I'm here to see Head Manager Yoon Jun Su.
Because I'm his fiancee.
