[Real-Estate Lease Deposit Receipt]

[Lessor Yang Mi Sook
Lessee Cho Na Jeong]

You're making such a fuss.

You don't trust people,
so you even ask for a receipt.

Well, better safe than sorry.

Thanks.

Did you take a day off work today?

That company's pretty lenient.

They even let rookies take days off.

Well,

since I used to work there before,
they give me leeway.

I'll go now.
Bye, ma'am.

Bye, Ms. Cho.

Really?

Even when I offered to work unpaid first,
they said no?

There's nothing we can do, then. Okay.

Still, thank you for checking.

Yes, bye.

Okay.

That's really harsh.

They said no,
even when I said I'd work for free.

[Result of the Lian Commerce
Employee Recruitment]

[We regret to inform you
that you were not selected.]

No.

At this rate,
I'll end up becoming a total fraud.

[2025 Sweet Home Shopping
Reemployment Job Fair]

- What are you staring at?
- You scared me.

Why are you snooping on my phone?

Snooping? Why so defensive?

Are you texting your girlfriend or what?

That's ridiculous.

Honey.

That "Sweet Home Shopping
Not Career-Interrupted Anymore" thing.

How is that?

Are there many applicants?

I don't know.

You know,

Should I try applying there once more?

What?

The program's for women
returning after a career break.

The age limit's 40,

so if I apply now,
it's my last chance to...

Why would you go there?
Who'd welcome you?

I mean,

have you already forgotten
how hard it was for you there?

Why go back to that place?

That's exactly why I want to go back.

I left like I was running away.
I was embarrassed ever since.

So isn't it natural...

to want to make up for it?

And it's a great opportunity as well.

I get how you feel,

but you'd better find another place.

They barely even hire anyone.

I'm a 41-year-old office worker.

My boyfriend's five years younger than me
and we've dated for about three years.

Our chemistry is amazing,

and our personalities really click.

He's really someone I don't want to lose.

So I started to think about marriage,

but he's totally uninterested.

He's a non-marriage type.

I'm 41 now.

Just dating with no thought of marriage...

makes me worried.

But if we break up,

I don't think I'd ever meet
someone like him again.

What should I do?

It's such a sad story.

Right. When a woman hits 40,

she has complicated feelings.

You think about marriage and childbirth.

It's a time when a sense of crisis
starts to creep in.

Why aren't you texting?

Are you that busy?

What are you doing? Working?

I'll call you later.

Aren't you even a little curious about me?

Honestly, it's not like I was dying
to get married.

But if he had proposed,
I wouldn't have said no, either.

Still, this is just too much.

Does he date me just to sleep with me?

[Photographer Eom]

Hey.

Are you busy?

No.

Really? Then lend me your laptop.

Mine keeps crashing for some reason.

No.

What's wrong?

Are you angry?

Wouldn't you be angry if it were you?

After three weeks of no contact,
you call, and that's all you say?

Why are you treating me so badly?

What did I do?

It's not like we've just started dating.

I just spoke casually because we're close.
Is that bad?

So,

you won't lend me?

Fine, then.

Wait.

Il Ri.

Yeah?

Then bring me my Tom Brow cardigan too.

The studio's kind of cold.

Let's break up.

I'm still paying this off.

No texts, no nothing.

So you really want to break up?

Okay, fine.
I have no regrets, either.

What is it?

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

Give it here.

Now.

Eom Jong Do.

Let's break up.

I'm still paying this off.

Where did you get this?

Why did they record a video
without my permission?

Actually...

Why?

What?

Nothing.

Right, the no-look pass.

You looked cool!
What's the big deal?

It's not like they filmed it on purpose.

And you guys.

Learn from her.

The passion of a fashion editor...

trying to secure
a limited-edition luxury item.

Isn't that beautiful?

But Manager Eom called earlier.

He was rambling.

Maybe he's worried he'll get fired.

Anyway, congratulations.

Welcome back to the world
of infinite possibilities.

Honestly,

that guy was a total loser.

He always wanted me to buy him things.

Once he asked...

for an Armani coat for Christmas.

Guess what he got me?

What?

A game console.

Is that his or mine?

His, not mine.

Whenever we went to a fancy restaurant,

he kept running to the bathroom...

until the meal was over.

Who knows what he was doing there?

I'd wait forever but he wouldn't come.

So I'd end up paying myself every time.

Was I a walking wallet or what?

Hey, at least have some snacks
while you drink.

You'll ruin your stomach.

How annoying.

I'm so annoyed I can't even eat.

My pride hurts.

I let a loser like that
drag me around for three years.

I must've been insane.

Totally insane.

Lee Il Ri, you've finally
come to your senses.

We told you so many times,
and you never listened.

She said she couldn't give up
the "hot night."

"Hot night," my foot.

Do you know what Mark Twain said?

He said the most insignificant thing...

humans mistake for important
are hot nights.

Lee Il Ri.

I actually think this is for the best.

Honestly, what good did he do you?

He used you like a wallet...

and wasn't even sweet about it.

- Exactly.
- Yes.

But...

you married people don't get it.

What?

Among all the guys I've dated,

he was the best in bed.

I'll never meet someone like that again.

He was perfect in every way.

- Had I known...
- What's wrong with her?

I would've been in bed with him more.

You guys have no idea...

this feeling of loss I have.

Just sleep.

What a mess.

Is that really something
to be that desperate about?

How's your job search going?

I got rejected from all of them.

You know what everyone says to me?

My résumé's too impressive.

I'm too old.

And even when I offered
to work for free, they still said no.

My goodness. Really?

Yes.

Saying the market's flooded with
show hosts trying to build portfolios.

My self-esteem's at rock bottom.

Remember what I told you last time?

I didn't want to look pathetic
in front of my landlady, Yang Mi Sook,

so I lied and said I worked
at Sweet Home Shopping.

So I tried applying somewhere...

just to make that lie true.

But now I feel like
I'm turning into a total fraud.

But don't you want to go back
to Sweet Home Shopping?

Who'd welcome me there?

And honestly,

I'm scared I'll get rejected
and end up getting hurt again.

You won't know until you try.

You startled me.

Why get scared before you even start?

I thought you were sleeping.

I woke up.

Hey.

Just apply there.

You said you got rejected
everywhere else anyway.

Even if that's not the case,
I still think you should apply there.

Why?

They say a wounded heart only heals...

when you face it head-on.

I get that you want to avoid it,

but since you've already
worked up the courage,

charging forward might not be so bad.

Hey, clean this up.

Why are you taking it away?
I'm still eating.

Come on, let's go already.
Stop drinking.

Hey, where's the fish cake soup?
Bring it here.

It's cold now.

Hello, I'm...

Hello.

I'm Cho Na Jeong,
a former show host at Sweet Home Shopping.

Hello.

I'm Cho Na Jeong,
a former show host at Sweet Home Shopping.

When I was a working mom,

I was as fragile as a leaf...

When I was a working mom,

I was as fragile as a leaf
that could crumble underfoot.

Then later, as a full-time mom,

I felt trapped in a murky,
stagnant reservoir.

It felt endless.

But those long, difficult times...

became stepping stones for my growth.

During six years of marriage,

raising two children...

gave me countless feelings
and experiences to draw from...

[Jungseok Full-Service Moving]

Sorry.

How buff.

Is he single?

This is the place.

Deluxe Hanmaeum Motel.

Next to the chicken noodle soup place.

[Deluxe Hanmaeum Motel]

Okay.

Like I said yesterday,

lunch break's only an hour,

so get there first and wait.

You won't be late this time, right?

No way.
I even canceled my meetings.

Good.

Try to get there early,

and be ready.

Manager Gu.

Yes.

For next April's
Back to the Classic showcase,

we've shortlisted "Macbeth"
by Yeonhu Theater Company...

and "Waiting for Godot"...

by the acting troupe Butterfly Dance.

For the May Spring Night Music Festival,

how about we push forward
a collaboration...

between the Insan Symphony Orchestra
and pianist Kim Ja Young?

Kim Ja Young?

She's too young and unproven, isn't she?

Sir, Ja Young is ridiculous.

I've reviewed recent pianist profiles.

She's one of the strongest contenders...

for this year's Chopin Competition.

That's impressive.
Why not?

Manager Shin,
you could learn a thing or two from her.

Manager Gu's always thinking
several moves ahead.

All right then,
prepare the festival like that.

What about the plays?

As for "Macbeth" and "Waiting for Godot,"

since both have strong name recognition,

we can expect high ticket sales.

That scared me.

Manager Gu, where shall we go for lunch?

Sorry, you all go ahead.

I already have plans.

Okay.

We're such unimportant people.

Don't even bother asking her.

Now that I think about it,
she skipped the last company dinner too.

These days, she's even picky about
which company dinner she joins.

I've got a long way to go to be like her.

A long, long way.

That's what working life's about, right?

Manager Shin, why are you so interested...

in my whereabouts
that no one else even remembers?

Anyone would think you're stalking me.

Excuse me?

Yes?

Chicken noodle soup?

Yes, that sounds great.

Where?

Right next to Hanmaeum Motel?

Okay, got it.

Yes.

- Is this the place?
- Yes.

I'm starving.

Didn't you say
there's another good restaurant nearby?

Yes, a new one opened just behind here.

- Where?
- Over there.

That looks good.

- Let's go there tomorrow.
- Great.

[Deluxe Hanmaeum Motel]

[OS25]

Is it raining outside?

No, it's sunny.

Exactly.

- Excuse me.
- Do you need a room?

Someone's waiting for me upstairs.

Hey, which room is it?

Tell me now.

Well,

you see, honey,

I suddenly got indigestion.

You b*stard!

Yes, sir.

I tried to delay it somehow,

but it looks like
I'll have to do it next year.

Sir, I'll call you back in a bit.

Damn it.

[Deluxe Hanmaeum Motel]

[Sweet Home Shopping]

- Have you eaten?
- Yes.

Wait.

So what happened to Ms. Cho?

What about her?

She applied for the experienced position.

What did you say?

[Sweet Home Shopping
You passed the first round.]

My gosh.

[NO Won Bin]

Honey.

Why didn't you tell me
you applied to Sweet Home Shopping?

I was going to tell you if I got in.

But honey, I...

You should've told me first.

Why do I have to hear it at work?

And I told you to apply somewhere else,
not Sweet Home Shopping.

Why exactly can't I apply there?

And what, if you say, "Don't do it,"

am I just supposed to say
"Yes, sir" and listen?

What I'm saying is,

do you really have to start
working right now?

Come on, how long has it even been
since Min Woo's skin condition got better?

You're his mom, and you can't wait
a year or two for your kid?

I'm sorry, honey.

I was just about to leave earlier,

but I suddenly felt nauseous and dizzy.

If I'd gone,
I wouldn't have managed anyway.

I'd only disappoint you again, so...

You must be really mad.

Give me your glasses.

Sang Min.

Maybe...

we should just stop trying for a baby.

Honestly,

because of my age,

and because our parents keep waiting,

I kept trying.

But if it's this hard for you,
we can stop.

Fine. Then stop.

But...

then are we going to live
like this forever?

The reason I wanted to have a baby...

wasn't only for the baby.
I thought it'd bring us closer too.

So what I want to know is this.

Do you not find me attractive anymore?

No, it's not that.

Then what is it?

Tell me.

Sorry, but I need to wash up.

I still feel nauseous.
I need to lie down.

So what,

are you saying I'm selfish?

Am I a failure as a mother?

Because the kids are still young
and need me,

but I keep wanting to work?

Who said that?

But you know what?

I'm 41 now.

Even by international age,
it's an undeniable 40.

In a year or two,
even if I want to join somewhere,

I absolutely won't be able to.

"You're his mom, and you can't wait?"

How could you say that to me?

You know exactly how I've been living.

How can you say something like that?

For the six years since I married you,

I practically lived in hospitals and ERs.

I made our soap and detergent
with my own hands.

That's enough.

I studied just like you did,

and I held down a normal job.

But ever since we got married,

I'm the only one stuck in place.

Everyone else keeps running ahead,
and I'm the only one standing still.

Do you know how miserable it feels
to fall behind day by day?

Do you think anyone goes to work
because they love it?

Everyone lives like that.

Fine.

For you, work might be
a fancy self-fulfillment.

But for me, work is the livelihood
of our family of four.

And you think
we're worrying on the same level?

Is this who you really are?

I'm telling you this is reality.

Hello, ma'am.

- Listen to your teacher.
- Go on in.

See you this evening.

Go in.

Thank you.

- Min Woo, Min Jun, hi.
- Hello.

Hello.

Have fun, my little princes.

- Bye, Mom.
- Bye.

[A parent observation class will be held.]

[July 21, 11:00 a.m.]

[July 21, 11:00 a.m.
Please arrive 20 minutes early.]

Gorgeous.

Yes, that's good.

Cute. Nice.

Good.

Beautiful.

Nice.

Look at the flower. Nice.

Cute.

Nice, very nice.

Show me sexy.

That's sexy.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

I can't even.

What CEO asks to run her own pictorial
in her own magazine?

Well, what can we do?

If we want our paycheck,
we just have to grovel.

Okay. All right, good.

Okay, let's keep going.

You two still haven't made up?

What are you talking about?
We're over.

Come on.
Judging by Manager Eom today,

he looks like he wants you
to start a conversation.

Exactly.
He keeps sneaking glances even now.

Okay, just a little more.

Come on.

You go first and break the ice.

In times like this, the dumper
should be the one to approach first.

- Go!
- Go!

Go!

- We'll...
- Leave!

- We'll check and continue.
- Okay.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Manager, what filter did you use here?

It's a new filter that just came out.

Let's keep it between us.

- Shush.
- Yes.

Good, very good.

I'm going to post this
right away after this,

so while I'm being interviewed,
can you write the caption?

Okay.

Okay.

What?

What is this?

Is this...

Is this really me?

My gosh.

I don't look like this.

Why do I look so fat?

What the.

Why would you sh**t the photo like this?

Are you serious?

- Manager, bring me your phone.
- Yes?

Here.

Look at this.

Beautiful.

This one looks so pretty,

so why do I look so wide here?

That one has a filter on it.

No.

It only tweaked the color.
The photo's the same.

Manager, what is this?

You're way worse at taking photos
than my manager.

This one's prettier.
What are you talking about?

And photos that go to print...

look tacky if you retouch them like that.

True.

Yes.

That wouldn't work.

Deputy Editor,
you sound pretty professional today.

I like it.

Do it like this.

And like this.

Hey, what are you doing?

Like this.

No, if you do it like this...

That's it.

Mom, for you.

Thanks.

Mom, for you.

Thanks.

Okay, thanks.

Let's make a cat.

Okay.

Okay, last one.

Great work.

Good job.

Thank you for your work.

Good job today.

- Thank you.
- Nice work.

Are you posting a Reels after this too?

How did you know?

I'm heading out.
See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

What?

Being childish and overacting
on purpose so I see it?

Hey.

You're dragging it out this time.

So what?
You want to end it like this?

You sure can hold a grudge.

Fine. I'm sorry.

But you need to stop ignoring texts too.

Do you know how much
that pisses me off?

Il Ri, let's not be like this.

We said we'd be cool
no matter how or when it ends.

No clinging.

Everyone.

Are you just going to brush
three times a day the usual way?

A micro-bristle toothbrush
that also cares for your gums.

It's no longer optional, but essential.

Micro-bristle toothbrush.

Micro-bristle toothbrush.

Is there a styling you want?

If you roll it like this,

you can handle any styling you like.

Mom, what are you doing?

Well...

Hello, everyone.

The product I'm introducing today...

is this little one.

For those with severe inner dryness,

I strongly recommend this.

For tomorrow's open class,

should we at least bring snacks?

It's our kids' first open class this year.

How about simple snacks?

Is there anything special
we should prepare?

It's my first time, so I don't know.

I'm so excited to see our kids sing.

I have an interview tomorrow at 11...

[Min Woo, Min Jun's Kindergarten]

Aren't you getting on?

You go ahead.

Yes, ma'am?

What?

He suddenly threw up after a snack,

and he was burning up with a fever.

A lot of kids haven't been coming
because of the flu lately,

and I think Min Woo caught it too.

Mom, why are you crying?

Are you upset I couldn't sing?

No.

I'm upset because you're sick, Min Woo.

Sorry, Mom.

No, it's okay.

[Bambino Pediatrics]

Don't be too discouraged.

You never know when and how
another opportunity will come.

If you wait a little,

a much better position
might open up, right?

I'm not sure.

Maybe I'm fated to live and die like this.

Are you going to drink that go wild again?

I can't sleep at all these days.

If I drink this, maybe I can sleep.

No need to watch
my figure anymore, anyway.

But why was your husband
so strongly against it?

Exactly.

I mean, sure, he can disagree.

But it went beyond that.

He snapped.

How annoying.

I don't even want to talk to him.

That's how they all are.

They tell you, "Go ahead and work."

But the moment their wife actually does,

"Work, but you take care of the kid."

They're always like this.

They want a double income,

but they hate sharing housework.

Was your husband like that too?

Totally.

When I went back to work
three months after my first baby,

he didn't even do anything at home.

My goodness.

Thinking back now,

I should've gotten a divorce then.

So how did you end up
having the youngest after that?

Right away?

- You're unbelievable.
- Darn it.

These days, I don't know why
I keep spilling everything I eat.

My goodness.

- Did you wipe it all?
- Yes.

Right, didn't you say
you had a discount coupon?

I have one.

Wait, what?

Why?

The second interview...

got postponed.

What do you mean?

Apparently, the executives
had an emergency meeting,

and they moved the interview date.

Really?

Then when is it?

Today, at two.

Today at two?

Hey, it's fine.

You still have an hour.
You'll make it.

But what do we do with that stain?

What do you mean, "What do we do?"
I can't go, that's what.

Hey.

Na Jeong.

Min Woo's mom.

Hey, stop eating.

Stop. You have to go now.

You only have an hour left.
Let's go now.

Come on.

I'll watch the kids.

Just go already.
What are you doing?

What are you planning to do?

Hey, your face...

What's wrong with you, Cho Na Jeong?

Snap out of it, Cho Na Jeong.

Hey, Cho Na Jeong!

Hey.

Take off your clothes.

Na Jeong.

Cho Na Jeong!

Hey, take this.

There's makeup and my wallet.

Thank you.

You got this. Go now.

Cho Na Jeong, good luck.

I have no choice.
I'll just call it a concept.

[Open Recruitment Interview]

[5th Floor Conference Room
Interview Waiting Room]

Na Jeong?

Hey.

Ye Na.

You applied here too?

Well,

that's what happened.

But...

your outfit's a bit...

Actually,

remember my friend
who's a deputy editor at N Life Magazine?

She said the color trend
for next year's S/S season...

are purple and green,

so I went bold with those two.

Maybe too bold.

I'm always ahead of the curve.

But the competition's so fierce.

I heard everyone's got crazy experiences.

Announcers, anchors,

and live streamers.

Apparently, all sorts showed up.

By the way,

have you seen...

that lady over there before?

Jjon Na Jeong?

They say she made a ton of money
doing live commerce streams.

Even someone like that
came to take our spots.

Why doesn't she just stick
to her own platform?

Bye, then.

Jjon Na Jeong?

What?

Didn't you say you already work here?

Actually...

Look at you.

You lied like no one would ever find out.

What, you hated working with me that much?

No, it's not like that.

But what about you?

Why are you here?

You said you're a famous show host.

Well, that's the minor league,
and this is the majors.

I'm too good to stay stuck...

in the minors.

Ms. Song Ye Na?

Hello! I love your broadcasts.

I'm a fan.
Can I shake your hand?

Thanks.

Well then, good luck to you.

- You too, Na Jeong.
- Thanks.

By the way,

Executive Director Seo is sitting in
on this interview.

Good luck.

What should we do?

Your kid's burning up with a fever.

You didn't know?

But he was fine this morning.

How high is it?

Over 39 degrees.

He's shivering all over.

If he has a seizure, it could be serious.

Could you please come back, even now?

Ma'am, I'm really sorry.

- I'll call you again.
- I'm just so scared.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Cho Na Jeong.

Are you trying to drive me crazy or what?

You act like this,

so it's no wonder
nobody wants to work with moms.

I'm sorry.

Don't take it, Cho Na Jeong.

If you pick up, it's over.

Once you're at work, forget your kid.

If you're going to let your kid drag you
around, you shouldn't be working at all.

[Babysitter]

I warned you.

If you take that call,

you're out.

I'm sorry.

- Hello?
- Ms. Cho.

Min Woo's having a seizure.

The waistline's slim, the silhouette...

Comfortable...

Applicants number 998 and 740,
please get ready.

Applicants number 434 and 298,
please get ready.

Applicants number 920 and 517,
please get ready.

There are four colors,

and we've prepared a wide range of sizes.

[Open Recruitment Interview
for Career Re-entry Applicants]

Applicants number 987 and 1080,
please get ready.

Let's fight fair and square, Cho Na Jeong.

You might've gone to a better school,

but I've got more fight in me.

[Interview Room]

Please have a seat.

Ms. Yang Mi Sook,

also known as Dorabangs?

Dorabangs, it's unexpected you're here.

You're already running
your own live commerce channel.

So why apply here?

Yes, that's right.

I'm a mobile show host
with some name recognition,

and my business is still expanding.

However,

I felt my overflowing talent...

was too great to contain
within my own channel alone.

To leverage the know-how I've built
from running live broadcasts,

work together with Sweet Home Shopping,

and tap into the rapidly growing
live commerce market,

I applied to Sweet Home Shopping.

You're not just switching over...

because live commerce
got too hard, are you?

I've heard personal stream sales...

are just shiny on the outside.

Of course, it's not easy.

But...

I survived in that tough market.

I've done five-hour live streams
with 1,000 concurrent viewers,

and sold more than 1,000 items
in a single session.

In terms of skill and experience,

I don't think I'm behind anyone.

But both of you have kids, right?

Who looks after them?

We often have early-morning broadcasts,

and unpredictable hours.

I...

have a live-in caregiver, so it's fine.

Your kids don't cause trouble
these days, right?

Yes.

I apologize again about that incident.

Then let's get right to it.

You all know how this test works, right?

It's a blind test.

You'll see a product appear
on the screen behind you,

and you'll sell it
as if you're on a live broadcast.

If...

I decide to buy the product,

that person automatically
passes this round.

[Sweet Hotel Stay Package 700 dollars]

[Sweet Hotel Stay Package 700 dollars]

Hello, everyone.

Today we've prepared for you...

a one-night stay at the Sweet Hotel
with a limousine ride,

plus tickets to the famous
Sweet Hotel show.

A package never before seen
in home shopping history.

I can already feel the customers' eyes...

widening with excitement.

From Hunan, China, user "I'llTakeThis"...

has shared that they're planning a trip
to Korea early next year...

and already expressed interest
in buying this product.

That's right.

If you miss this timing,
this price, this package,

the cost will go up.

I hope you all can take advantage...

of this deal while the broadcast lasts.

And we've also prepared...

a special giveaway.

A truly incredible giveaway.

A dinner at the Sweet Hotel restaurant.

Na Jeong, why leave a child...

unattended at a restaurant?

For you, work might be
a fancy self-fulfillment.

But for me, work is the livelihood
of our family of four.

Why would you go back there?

Who'd welcome you?

Ms. Cho Na Jeong.

Everyone.

How many times...

in your life have you ridden in a car...

where someone
politely opened the door for you?

Realistically,
unless we're a president or a minister,

it's rare to have someone...

open a car door for us.

Maybe it'll never happen in your lifetime.

But does that mean...

we don't deserve to be treated like VIPs?

Of course not.

Think of your parents.

Your father who works hard...

from dawn until late at night,

and your mother...

who cares for you day and night, 24/7.

We all feel it, don't we?

That lump in our throats...

just thinking of our parents.

Then,

have you ever...

opened a car door for your parents?

My father was a welder.

Na Jeong.

Hey, Na Jeong.

Hey, why did you just walk away
when I called you?

Just.

Because he was the one person
who truly believed in and understood me,

I still miss him so much.

He worked long, hard hours
from dawn until night.

And he passed away
in an unexpected accident...

at the work site when I was 13.

So,

if my father were still alive today,

I'd want to tell him...

thank you,

and that he made me really happy.

But now,

it's too late.

Dear customers,

if I could take my father
on this limousine ride,

I wouldn't hesitate to pay
not 700 dollars,

but 7,000 or even 70,000 dollars.

Of course, the hotel stay is great,

and the show tickets are wonderful too.

But what about gifting your parents...

this one precious minute...

of riding in a limousine...

from the hotel to the show?

Ms. Yang Mi Sook.

Yes?

Seven hundred dollars.

Paying all that at once is a bit heavy.

Are there installment options?

What's great about home shopping,
dear customer?

Of course,
it's interest-free for 24 months,

and you can pay
about 29 dollars a month...

to get this product
easily and economically.

Ms. Yang, you're quick on the math...

and great at thinking on your feet.

But...

when it comes to storytelling,
Ms. Cho has got the edge.

One minute from both of you.

I'll...

buy them all.

Hey, Jjon Na Jeong.

Did you talk about your parents
to pull a tear-jerking stunt?

You're just as annoying as ever.

What did you just say?

See you again, my friend.

Bye.

Cho Na Jeong.

You haven't lost your touch.

Thank you, Executive Director.

Emotional marketing, I see.

But you.

Even if you've gained weight,

what's with that outfit?

Lose some weight and pretty yourself up...

for the final round.

I will.

[Min Woo, Min Jun's Mom]

- The number you've dialed is unavailable.
- Seriously?

Yes!

[Min Woo, Min Jun's Mom]

The number you've dialed is unavailable.

Why won't he pick up?

I have to tell him this news right away.

[2005 Na Jeong's Birthday 2]

- You know what?
- What?

I want to live a great life
doing my own thing.

I want to be a truly capable woman.

Then what about marriage?

Marriage?

Why get married?

For a woman,
marriage is a grave and hell.

Doing it knowing that...

means you're a fool
with a single-digit IQ.

- Exactly.
- Yes.

The ones I'll never understand...

are women who let men control them.

Exactly.

Don't they have
any confidence in themselves?

Why be hung up on men?

Right.

Let's not live trapped like that.

Let's live freely.

To the end!

- Deal.
- That's right.

To the end!

Freely!

Freedom!

This is fun.

Can we please go home now?
I have to go home.

No way.

Tonight we party full course
until the end.

Because...

today is Na Jeong's birthday!

This time, full speed.

Rocket ticket launch!

Run.

I'm dizzy.

Hey, I'm dizzy.

Run.

Let's go.

[Don't Call Me Ma'am]

With the final interview ahead,

a perfect final look is essential.

Fashionistas, will you report for duty?

Rumor has it
that he's having an affair with Seon Min.

Don't tell me you're actually
in a special relationship with her.

What's going on between you two?

Hey, if things aren't working out,

don't be embarrassed
and try marriage counseling.

I dressed him, fed him,
and tucked him in for three years.

Then he dumped me.

So a goodbye kiss
should be allowed, right?

But are you really a show host
who's been out for six years?

You look ready to sell everything out
starting tomorrow.

This is your show host who has returned,
Cho Na Jeong.
