Color of Woman
Episode 18
Sunbae! Sunbae! Sunbae!
I'm sorry! How can you leave like this?
I'll be back in two hours.
What's this? Because I was two hours,
now you're going to make me wait for two hours too?
Then when are we going to have a date?
Don't be angry, I'll buy you coffee.
I've had two cups already.
Then go to the restroom.
It must be signaling you to go now since you've drank so much.
What signal?
Let's go, come here.
Sit here.
Why don't you two take a picture and pin it on the wall?
- Okay.
All right.
Let's take it.
Ready.
Let me see.
What should I write?
[Jun Su, So Ra, forever love, 2001.11]
[18. A Raw and Cooked Romance]
Didn't you see each other?
You're still here?
I was worried.
Were you worried about me or Jun Su sunbae?
What answer do you wish to hear?
Where could he be?
I'm going.
It's late, stay the night.
No thanks.
What time is it now? Nothing's running now.
My friend will come and pick me up.
Don't worry. I'm going.
She can really do up the room.
Is this a present or a punishment?
It's tasteless.
The phone you are calling is switched off.
Where could he be? He's not even answering.
Head Manager.
Jin Ju.
So you didn't see So Ra?
Yes.
So Ra said she turned her phone off so...
You don't need to make excuses for her.
It seems... So Ra and I can only reach this point.
I did a lot of thinking while I was waiting for So Ra.
As So Ra said, I can only bring her pain.
I don't want to hurt her anymore.
But that would make you suffer.
That's just...
my situation.
Jin Ju, are you living in the sauna rooms?
Pardon?
Wasn't that place the sauna room?
Right, it's just I feel a bit itchy so I just wanted to have a bath.
At 3am?
I've always been a night cat.
Come to my house, I'll lend you a room.
Are you worried about L'aura Cosmetics' model's skin?
Yes.
If that's the case, then I don't want to go to your house.
I cannot face you as a secretary or a model.
It's late, let's go.
What about this?
What's the matter?
I thought you would get to work before me.
I can smell the scent of the sauna rooms on you.
Your nose is being funny.
Don't you know that I am of the highest standard?
How can I finish all the seaweed soup that you made?
You haven't even said thank you.
Your mom called.
She wished me a happy birthday,
and thanked me for looking after you.
I told her not to worry,
and that you are living very well.
Come home tomorrow.
Can I really go back?
Didn't you say that I can hate sins but I can't hate people?
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
The condition is that you have to finish that seaweed soup.
Hey, how can I finish all that?!
So Ra, you will cook delicious food for me, right?
I've become addicted to your cooking.
Hey, what's this necklace?
The first time I saw it, I thought you couldn't have bought it yourself.
It's very unique.
Chan Jin bought it, didn't he?
Director Kang Chan Jin, what did you just say?
I suggested that we should let Wang Jin Ju become the model for our special line.
Wang Jin Ju is the face of the Yoon line.
If she becomes the special line model, then that would confuse consumers.
I agree with the head manager.
Head Manager, your opinionated attitude is hard to tolerate.
The special line has just started.
It would take at least two years for it to stabilize.
Wang Jin Ju's image can make it more luxurious.
Wouldn't this be good for our company?
A businessman cannot just focus on the short term benefits,
they need to focus on the long term benefits as well.
It sounds like Director Kang is correct about this.
If there is no war, then there will be no attraction.
Right now for L'aura, the Yoon line is most important.
The most important target here is to make the Yoon line successful.
I am in charge of the special line.
What can be certain is that L'aura's future will become brighter because of you both.
If the president can see this, then he will be very happy.
I think that the head manager has a point.
The president of the World China Cosmetics Group will make a special trip
because of our Yoon line's launch into the Chinese market.
- I will see to this...
- No. - I will see to this...
Director Seong need only to oversee the marketing team.
This meeting is adjourned.
Do you have something to say?
No, what else could there be?
There is the special line investment seminar today so I might need to borrow Wang Jin Ju.
Is that okay?
Don't you normally take people without telling them anyway?
It seems Jin Ju is now your person.
The head manager is not one to go against.
I will try to resolve the issue with the president of the World Cosmetics Group.
What do you mean?
If the Yoon line can become more successful than it is now then
the head manager's influence will be huge.
You don't want to give up the position of president, do you?
It seems Director Seong is still dreaming.
Why don't you think about the burden we currently have at L'aura?
Of course we are under pressure,
but I just wanted to give the head manager a well rounded dream.
Doesn't the head manager still want to go abroad and study?
Don't worry, I still have a few cards left to play.
What are those?
When the time comes, I'll let you know.
Without my permission, do not do as you please.
That is a warning.
What is Director Kang really thinking?
It's not just you who is being stricken out is it?
I am very rational.
I won't allow my hands to get dirty.
I just need to observe how the two of them
will kill each other's profits.
In the end, I can just sit back and relax.
What a wise idea.
I should go and pull the other end of the string now.
This is hard.
Ms. Kim, how do you do?
Ms. Kim...
Oh dear, this is so boring.
Do we really have to do this?
You really have a lot to say.
Ms. Kim, how do you do? Ms. Kim...
What does that person like?
He likes to watch Korean drama so when his schedule is arranged,
be it his hotel, his dinner plans, he must visit the hot spots.
It�s not something I can do.
I heard that Assistant Manager Byun can speak a little bit of Chinese?
It's not good, I just learnt a little bit at university.
That's still better than us.
So Assistant Manager Byun should handle this.
Me?
Don't you want to handle this?
No, I'll handle it.
Thank you.
Is it just me?
The other teams will pick one person as well so do it together.
Yes.
Carry on.
Ms. Kim, how do you do?
Congratulations.
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
It's because of the president's special trip.
Then what about you, Sunbae...
I mean, Head Manager?
You're not from the other team, are you?
What's wrong? Are you not happy?
No.
This is a very important matter to me.
Do your best, Assistant Manager Byun.
This way please.
We are afraid our guest will be burdensome, which is why we wanted to pick this room.
Please give it more attention.
Yes.
I'm sorry about last night.
Did you come?
No.
That's a relief. I didn't stay long.
I see.
Now that you know what you really want,
you don't need to feel awkward.
We have nothing to do with each other now.
Is that right?
Yes.
You're going back to the office, right?
It's okay, let's go our separate ways.
All right then.
Byun So Ra.
Sunbae.
When did you hurt yourself?
I'm fine, it's not serious.
Are you going to keep on being a fool?
Even if you're not my girlfriend anymore, I will still help you if you are injured.
Just take it as a superior helping out his subordinate.
I just don't want you to get hurt.
Go home.
I want to go back to the office.
I'm telling you to go home, that's an order.
I have to hand over a report to Chan Jin.
Why is this here?
Ah, my brain...
What's with his expression?
Does he still like her?
Please take Byun So Ra away.
So Ra, aren't you finishing up?
Yeah, I was about to call you.
Why? Did you miss me.
I wanted to ask you about the details of the plan.
What is this?
What should I do? I have an appointment now so I must go.
Where to?
Some place...
You're acting strange.
You're not the Kang Chan Jin I know.
What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll go meet another woman?
Don't worry.
I will always watch over you.
Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow.
It's the weekend tomorrow, are you still going to work?
Don't work, let's go on a date.
What?
That's what I wished for yesterday.
Go on ten dates with me.
Not as a friend but as a couple.
That's my wish.
What's wrong?
Are you afraid you'll fall for me?
Do you want to see Chan Jin abandon Jun Su?
Please don't make them suffer because of you.
Okay, let's go on a date.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Oh, my!
How cruel!
What time is it now?
She definitely has a monster inside of her.
So that means Byun So Ra's man is going to be rewarded?
Do you need to go to the hospital?
Have you finished work?
Let's go to the hospital.
It's fine.
Well then.
I'll take you home.
It's more convenient if I go alone.
Why are you like this?
Even as a colleague, I can still take you home.
It's more convenient if I go alone.
I'll be on my way now.
Grandma, please sit here.
So Ra has a reason for keeping a distance from the head manager.
I have a favor to ask.
Sit down.
What's wrong?
You're injured.
How did you know?
Jun Su sunbae?
He called and asked me to put some ice on it for you.
What are you doing? Come over here.
It's okay.
Do you think I want to do this?
Hurry up.
Let me see.
It's my favorite mocha cake.
The head manager prepared that birthday cake for you.
He said he couldn't throw it away so I took it from him.
Don't treat the head manager like that anymore,
you should sort things out as well.
That would be best for everyone.
Please, So Ra.
Where are you going?
On a date with So Ra...
Is her ankle better?
Did she injure herself?
Take her to the hospital.
I'll take care of it.
Is your foot really okay?
It doesn't hurt, it's just a bit uncomfortable.
Why didn't you say anything?
It's not a big deal.
It's no use, even if you pretend it hurts;
we're still going on a date today.
Did I say anything?
If it hurts, tell me.
I'll carry you.
It took me a few days to find this restaurant.
The seafood is from Jeju Island.
Once you try it, you're bound to come back a second time.
Can we still have dinner after lunch?
I knew it would be like this, so I prepared another restaurant to go to.
Aren't I the Love Professor Kang Chan Jin?
What if there's a queue over there as well?
Are you throwing a tantrum because you are hungry?
You can normally endure your hunger, can't you?
I can do that to a friend.
But aren't we on a date today?
I'm very picky when it comes to guys, don't you know that?
Let's go.
[Closed during the weekends]
There's another restaurant that I know which is not far by car.
There won't be a queue there and it is definitely open,
so let's go there.
When I'm hungry, I can eat anything.
Wouldn't it be the same everywhere else?
I just want to treat you well.
During the ten years of being friends, this is our first date together.
I want to make a good impression.
What's wrong? Where's the car?
I think it got towed because parking here is not permitted.
Didn't I say that already?
I hate people who don't obey public order.
I hate people who spit on the floor and people who park illegally.
So Ra, can you please be quiet so I can think?
What's wrong? Am I annoying you?
Right?
I've always been like this.
Be careful, I might kiss you.
Why aren't you eating?
Don't you like the spicy jjamppong?
The person who wants to kiss is too shy to say so...
So he will give a signal so that no one else knows.
What is it?
Let me see, what shall it be?
Goldfish?
That's strange.
Really? Then how about jajangmyun?
It should be jjamppong then.
Then jjamppong it is.
So from now on if one wants to kiss then just say jjamppong.
Okay.
Then as a memory, we should give it a try.
Jjamppong.
I'm sorry, I can't eat this.
It's really cold.
I didn't realize it would get dark so quickly.
For our next date...
We should just be friends.
You can expect our next date.
The feeling of being friends and lovers feels really different.
It could be because we know each other very well already.
So it feels really strange.
To me, Kang Chan Jin is blue so how can he suddenly change to red?
If that's the case then Kang Chan Jin will disappear in my heart.
So, Chan Jin...
I've only just finished one homerun.
It's only because my actions today caused me to be out.
There will be one day when I can make a homerun.
I still have nine chances left.
So please don't force me out.
Lecturer Byun So Ra.
Who's going to the event?
It will be Chief Park.
Who's the translator today?
It's convenient that his wife is Korean so there is no need for a translator.
That's great.
Is the hotel hospitality all prepared?
Yes, that's Assistant Manager Byun's...
What are you doing Assistant Manager Byun? You should prepare to go.
Yes.
No, it's okay if she doesn't go.
Where is Jin Ju?
Yes, she's picking out some clothes.
She's the image of our company and your girlfriend.
It's the first time meeting the president so she's putting in a lot of effort.
She said she will go straight to the hotel.
All right.
Good work everyone.
Chan Jin? Yes, Director Kang?
Come out now.
I'm working now, where are we going?
I'm calling you about work.
Go to the address that I'm going to send to you.
Everything is prepared so you just need to listen to me.
What's going on?
It's to do with work, hurry.
It's a copy of the file from Assistant Manager Byun's computer.
We've got the message now...
Are the party preparations going well?
Yes, we just need to find a good time to announce it.
We just need to see the outcome of tomorrow's party.
No, the outcome is not important.
The party is tomorrow.
The dress code will be destructive black.
Are you Byun So Ra?
Pardon? Yes.
We've received Director Kang's message. Come.
This is a photo album and DVD, signed personally by Hallyu stars.
Oh my, what a present. Thank you.
She's very pretty, thank you.
He said that Jin Ju is very pretty.
The love story between you two is really touching.
You will be more impressed by our Yoon line products.
Shall we get ready to eat?
No, there is still one more guest coming.
Please come in Chan Jin. It's been a while.
You've become prettier.
How are you?
What is Director Kang doing...?
It must have been three years ago now, it was when he was still a manager.
Yes.
At that time, in order for L'aura Cosmetics to launch in China,
he was literally pestering me.
From then on, every time he comes to China,
he stays at my place for a few days.
I want you to be my son-in-law but you say you have a girlfriend, right?
I'm sorry.
Right, didn't you say you were going to come with your girlfriend?
She's here now.
How are you?
I am the assistant manager at L'aura Cosmetics, Byun So Ra.
I didn't think that you would wear a Chinese dress, it's really pretty on you.
Thank you, Ms. Byun.
This Chinese dress is really beautiful.
Not long ago, I submitted our special line investment plan, have you looked at it?
The idea of setting up a factory for the special line in China and
using a tourist spot as its launch, I'm very impressed with the idea.
Our L'aura Cosmetics want to integrate the Chinese culture.
That gives me a headache.
The Yoon line and the special line are both good.
But if we are to invest in both at the same time, our capital won't be enough.
What should we do?
I never thought I'd get ambushed like this.
I'm not the one ambushing someone else; it's you, Hyung.
I already started this three years ago.
Shouldn't you have reported this to me first?
Am I not the one in charge of the special line?
Didn't the President say that too?
Also, whether it's Hyung or me, it's beneficial to the company.
We are in the same team.
That's right, we are in the same team.
Of course.
Just like Hyung and I are family.
Why is it so quiet here?
Didn't you say you were waiting for the perfect future?
Don't you see anything floating?
What's wrong?
I don't see anything floating, what do you see?
The last cloud is coming up.
The last?
Yes, once it spreads out...
Once it spreads out then the sun will shine down.
No, I don't see that.
Really, this cannot carry on.
What did you see?
Nothing, I didn't see anything.
It has become serious.
Congratulations!
This shot by Director Kang was beautiful.
Even before the new products are unveiled,
we already have a Chinese investor.
This is really great.
I have the head manager to thank for that.
It was the head manager who aimed the target at the special line.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Head Manager.
Then what's going to happen to the Yoon line?
Even though it can't penetrate the Chinese market,
it's still very popular here.
There's nothing to worry about.
That's right, we could try to launch it in other countries.
We have a problem, the Cinderella story has been found out!
What are you talking about?
What do you mean made up?
What do you mean?
It is a real relationship.
Yes, Reporter.
You know about the current situation. Wang Jin Ju...
- Reporter, you can write this as a novel. - Hello?
It will definitely be a sellout.
What's it like on the internet?
Don't ask, it's bad.
Don't answer it, it has gotten to this stage now.
What's going on?
Now we know it's not a secret anymore.
Was it you who did this?
Why should I answer to you, Director Kang?
Don't you have a lot of secrets yourself?
Your judgment is wrong.
Is it really?
Isn't this what they call a bad situation?
The Yoon line got prevented from penetrating China,
and got suspected of having moral issues.
The Yoon line nearly got capsized.
The special line only has its shell left.
Director Kang took that away right in front of you.
What is it that you want to say?
All these were done by people around you.
The Cinderella story, the Cinderella marketing...
Do you know who's responsible for this?
Are you saying it's Director Kang?
Why is it Director Kang?
Director Kang knows about his mother and the president.
You...
Was it you?
If it was me then I would have admitted already.
It wasn't me.
Is it that important to find out who told him under the current circumstances?
What did you say?!
Chan Jin knows?! How?!
I already said there are no walls that can block the wind.
You need to go to Chan Jin and beg for forgiveness.
Yes, it was that time...
It was when Byun So Ra came to me.
She said she was leaving with Chan Jin.
It was that day.
What are you saying?
Did So Ra come here?
What did you tell So Ra?!
There's a reason So Ra is keeping her distance from the head manager.
Father, what did you exactly...?
Jun... Jun Su.
Father! Father!
Father!
Father, stay with me! Father!
What should I do now?
The Yoon line... I mean what about the head manager?
Don't worry, I'm sure there's a way to resolve this.
It's bad news, the president has fainted.
What did you say?
Which hospital is it?
Let's go together.
You two don't go.
Right now, there's probably a lot of reporters there.
If you two go then it would make matters more complicated.
But still...
If you want to go then go in a few days time.
He fainted because his condition was not able to accept the blow.
His recovery will not be easy.
Let's observe how he is for now.
Hello, I'm model Wang Jin Ju from L'aura Cosmetics.
Regarding the Cinderella story, I have something to say.
What I said before were all false.
Head Manager.
What are you doing?
I want to tell the truth.
I wanted to say that it was all because of my lies.
That way it would make your position better.
What about you, Jin Ju?
Is it okay if you aren't a model anymore?
It's not but it's better than seeing you hurt.
Don't make me into an innocent person.
I'm an accomplice as well.
Jin Ju, don't worry about it.
I will take care of it.
How's the president?
Right now, the doctor said there's nothing more to do but observe him.
I'm sorry I can't give you any support.
Are you okay?
Is it okay if you don't go to the hospital?
I can't do it.
I have no way...
to face the president.
I understand.
The president is like a father to you.
So Ra.
I have nothing now.
Except for you...
Don't worry.
I will always be near you.
We're friends, right?
I heard you have to go back to China today.
Yes, thank you for your hospitality; I had a really nice time.
Thank you for investing in our special line but,
can you help launch the Yoon line into China as well?
I've already prepared the marketing plan for the Yoon line's launch in China.
The Yoon line uses the highest quality ingredients in Korea...
Who is it?
Pardon?
Who is the one you really love?
I went to China and gave up my family, my friends, and my work for love,
but I don't regret it.
Because I am with the person I love.
Love is selfish.
No matter whom you choose between Head Manager Yoon and Director Kang,
please remember my words.
Sunbae.
Did you run?
Yes.
I have something to say to you.
Me too.
I have something to say to Sunbae.
You go first.
No, Sunbae, you go first.
Okay.
I thought I should tell you this first.
What is it?
I'm getting engaged with Jin Ju.
