Episode 1
These days our boss looks really pale.
- Focus! - Right! We have to send these off soon.
Hurry up! The boss is picky, so please do it carefully and quickly!
Yes.
Boss!
What is it?
What?
Is there any mail for me, by any chance?
From where?
The United States.
The United States? Why? Do you know someone there?
I applied to a school in the U.S.
Which school?
A fashion design school.
With what money?
That's why I wanted to talk to you.
If you could perhaps just lend me money for my airfare and first semester tuition...
I'll take care of it myself after that and will be sure to pay you back...
That was very brazen of you.
How could you make such a decision without consulting me first?
And if you don't get in, what will you do?
I'm busy, so leave.
But if I get in, will you lend me the money?
If you get in... Then let's talk.
OK.
- Whoa! - It's awesome!
- Love this place! - It's amazing!
- Nice place! - Are these all your clothes?
This is incredible! Can I pick out some clothes?
- Go ahead. - I knew I picked a great friend!
I heard Ga Young lives here. Is there a place to sleep here?
She sleeps in the factory.
But if your mom finds out, won't we be in trouble?
I don't know. You guys figure it out.
Cheers!
Oh my gosh!
What on earth?
No! Oh my goodness!
You came?
No, it wasn't her, boss!
How dare you set fire to this place!
How could you do that to me?!
I didn't do it.
How dare you lie to my face?!
If it wasn't you, do you think a ghost did it?
It really wasn't me.
I fed you, raised you, and sent you to school. And this is how you repay me?!
I did everything I could for you.
And you are old enough now.
Get out!
You're the one who wanted to go to the U.S. because you hated this place!
So pack your things right now and leave!
Boss, I know you're upset...
But she's still young and doesn't have anywhere else to go--
Quiet!
How dare you interfere?!
Get out!
Ms. Go, give me some water.
Why are you still standing there?
Don't you listen to what adults tell you?
I'll leave.
But since you've come this far thanks to my parents' store,
I think I am entitled to some of your fortune.
What?
What did you say?
So...you want me to give you some money?
So...that's why you applied for a school overseas without telling me!
You don't seem to know this, but actually I should get money from you.
Pay me for the debt that your parents left!
I took you in and raised you when you had nowhere else to go.
But you ask me to pay you?
So you want to go to a fashion design school overseas.
Just be grateful that I'm sending you away without reporting you to the police.
This is why people say you should never adopt someone else's child!
Ms. Go, send this girl away tonight.
And if she refuses to leave, then report her to the police for arson.
How bad is the fire damage?
"Young Girl" is hiring seamstresses.
Previous experience. Room and board provided. Performance-based salary.
Seeking ambitious young people with a keen fashion sense.
Is anyone inside?
Excuse me!
I'm here to see the head of this place.
Over there.
The boss's office.
Thank you.
Hello? This is Kang Young Gul.
Boss!
Nothing. It's nothing.
I'm sorry if I disappointed you.
Actually, I'm working on a new item that I'm sure will please you!
I'm serious this time.
What do you mean I'm lying?
Yes, I will call you later. Bye.
Who are you?
I called earlier. I'm Lee Ga Young.
Ah yes! You said you know how to sew, right?
Yes!
Manager!
What?
This girl says she knows how to sew, so give her something to do.
Come out.
Um...room and board will be provided, right?
Yep.
- Sorry to ask this, but how much is my salary? - Depends on how well you do.
But there must be a minimum, right?
You'll get at least what everyone else gets. If you don't like it, leave.
Wow...
Hello, sir!
Oh, hi.
- Can you guys excuse us? - Yes!
Hey.
Hey!
What? What is it?
- The boss called today. - You mean president.
President, boss, whatever!
You work for him, yet you can't even take care of a simple thing like that?
Because you didn't handle it, he called me directly!
How upset do you think he was to have called you directly?
- What did you say? - So pay him back before you lose your head!
Speaking of which...do you have any money I could borrow?
Because you're my friend, my monthly pay for the last 3 years has stayed at $800.
On top of that, he deducts your interest from my wages for having introduced you to him!
How come there isn't a single person who has money?
You're really driving me crazy.
There is one person!
Who?
- Jung Jae Hyuk - Jae Hyuk?
Are you kidding me?
Why...is there something wrong?
We're using B-class models today, so it might not look that great.
But if we use A-list models and put them on stage wearing these clothes, it'll look fantastic!
When I was in Paris, I met Karl Lagerfeld.
- He said design is-- - Let's start over from the beginning.
What?
I've worked on this for 2 years, and you're telling me to start over?
If you don't like it, then find another job.
Actually, even the president has approved of these designs...
So I think asking him to start over might be a bit too much.
Besides, that designer is pretty talented and well-known in his field...
You might not know this, but our company took great pains to scout him...
- That's enough. Go do your work. - But...
You have a visitor waiting for you.
Thank you.
Wow, you've done great!
So when were we in the same class?
You don't have to use the formal tone with a fellow classmate!
I showed up to school on occasion, but it's true we were in the same class.
I was busy then too. Wow, this coffee tastes great! What kind of coffee is it?
What did you say your name was?
Oh, I forgot to give you my business card.
- It's in Dongdaemun? - Yeah.
We're in the same business, you know.
I heard these days business is slow in Dongdaemun.
Who in fashion isn't having a hard time these days?
You're having a tough time too, aren't you?
Sure. So what do you want to tell me?
You haven't come here to ask me for money, have you?
- What? - I'm sorry if I offended you.
You see, there are occasionally people who ask me that.
- Really? - But if you're here to make a deal with us...
I could introduce you to someone who might be able to help you.
I'm sorry, but I'm kind of busy right now.
Should I introduce you to that person?
Sure. Sounds good. Thanks.
No need to thank me since the deal hasn't been made yet.
- Nice meeting you. - Yeah, sure.
Pleasure was mine.
The visitor is leaving now. Introduce him to the outsourcing team.
I actually came here to borrow money.
Do you have about $30,000?
Didn't you understand what I said?
Just tell me whether or not you have the money.
I don't have any money to lend you.
So that's a no, right?
I see you're worth no more than $30,000.
See ya.
I'm going to buy this building.
It makes me mad the more I think about it...
You!
Dammit! You scared me!
What are you doing here?
Why are you sleeping here?
You said you'd give me room and board!
So you took it literally and decided to sleep here? Are you going to live here?
I thought there'd be separate living quarters for employees.
Go to sleep. We'll talk about this tomorrow.
You're going to sleep here too?
That's my bed you're sleeping on, you know.
Hi Auntie! It's me, Young Gul.
How have you been?
What do you mean why am I calling?
You have some money, right?
Have I ever asked you for money before?
If you don't want to lend me money, then just say so!
You don't have to yell--
Why are you bringing up my mom again?
Is it my fault she left for the U.S. with her new man?
Why are you yelling at me?
Hello? Hel--
Ugh, I can never tell her what I want to say.
What an audacious girl! How could she set fire to the place?
- That's what I'm saying. - How bad is the damage?
Can I assess it in financial terms? Each piece was made with such love and devotion.
How can I assess their value in strictly financial terms?
You should've punished her more severely. You're too soft.
I was going to report her to the police...
But how can I? I have only myself to blame.
But the girl must be pretty talented? You said she applied to a fashion school in New York?
- Who told you that? - Ms. Go did.
I see.
Jung Ah applied to the same school, right?
Yes.
Was she accepted?
Please bring it here.
What do you think?
Why do you keep doing this? I feel bad...
It's nothing compared to what you've been doing for me.
Leave and go do your work.
I went to Milano myself and chose the fabric.
And then I went to Paris and got each ornament.
I put it together as if I were working on my best masterpiece!
- Really? - Yes.
Well, I know how skilled you are.
Oh! I made something for your son as well. Please tell him to stop by when he's free.
I never see him. He's too busy.
It's pretty. Like I was saying, you're really good at this.
Boss, you have a call from Hwa Jae Bum.
Cigarettes and empty beer cans were found at the site of the fire.
Witnesses say they saw your daughter and her friends entering that night.
Crazy brat!
You scared me! Mom, are you crazy?
Why would I be crazy?
Then why are you like this?
What?
You. Did you know that Ga Young applied to New York Fashion School?
Anyone can apply.
Everyone around here knows it. What if she gets in and you don't?
Don't worry. So what if she gets in? She can't afford the tuition anyway!
Unless she gets a scholarship.
Scholarship?
The success of copy item depends on how similar it is to the real thing.
Think about it.
Why would you buy a fake that doesn't look real? Would you buy that?
Those ladies out there have been working at this for sixteen years.
Do you think they don't know design?
I have a lot of things to focus on, okay?
So just do what I tell you to do.
Think about what it means to be a world brand, and just make it identical to the real thing.
Look at you. Don't want to do it?
Is making fake items the ultimate dream in the fashion mecca?
What?
Then why were you looking for someone who takes pride in thinking fashion is about being unique?
Hey, that's an ad. An advertisement.
Don't you know ads?
They just write things like that.
If you act this way again, I'll withhold your pay and all your benefits.
Get out. Out.
Get out!
That shorty...
Eat first.
Who's the designer?
- That's a secret. - What do you mean?
There are rules for this.
- Give the designer to me. - What?
If you give me this designer, I'll take care of your debt.
- Do you think I'm crazy? - Fine, nevermind.
I'll take my business somewhere else.
Wait a minute.
Eight to two.
- Fifty-fifty. - What is this?
I'm putting up the money. Seven to three.
Six to four.
- What? - Nevermind if you don't want it.
Let go!
Wait a minute!
$33,780.50.
That's right. You brought everything.
Thank you for everything.
That's right. A person must know to be grateful.
When they come to borrow money, I'm a god. When they owe me money, they call me ***.
I never told them to use my money.
There's a difference between how you feel when you need the toilet and after you've used it.
Don't you agree?
Yes, that's right.
Hold on. You can wait, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Really?
Then just bury him. Oh yeah.
I hear my girl has found some scumbag. Find who he is and cut him.
Okay.
In the sixteen years I've done this, there's one thing I've learned.
A person who pays you back is a good man.
You are a very good man.
Go ahead.
Farewell.
Wait.
Go buy yourself some food.
Friend. I hear you finally made it big.
I love you, friend!
This is just the beginning.
Buy yourself some food.
It's ten again.
But how come we don't see our boss around anymore?
Do you think he's at another factory without us knowing?
Whether he's here or at another factory, as long as he pays us well.
Is he just traveling around with his passport?
But I think our boss is very popular with the ladies.
- I wish I had some men around me too. - What? With that face?
He needs to be as handsome as our boss.
He sure is handsome.
- Not just his face. He has a nice body. - Have you seen it?
Have you seen it?
You were with him during the night.
Something must have happened. Ga Young's face is turning red.
Is that why he's not coming in these days?
If I were ten years younger, I'd jump on him.
Clean up and make sure to lock up before you sleep.
- Good night. - So long.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye!
You need need to be twenty years younger.
What are you doing at my desk?
What did you see?
Emails.
Why are you looking through other people's emails?
I was going through my emails. I'm sorry.
Turn it on.
Go ahead.
- Are you a spy? - What?
Who sent you?
- What are you talking about? - So turn it on.
What do you do?
What?
Translate it.
Now.
Thank you for applying to our program.
Your application has been...
has been accepted.
Congratulations on your acceptance.
We would like to offer you a full scholarship...
upon your acceptance into the program.
We request your response as soon as possible.
Where is this?
America.
What do your parents do?
They passed away.
When?
When I was young.
Then where did you live before you came here?
I guess it's not that important.
Okay, you can go.
Ms. Ga Young Lee
- Give it to me. - What?
That's my mom's.
Give me that necklace.
- What are you talking about? - Why are you taking my mom's things?
- Go away. - Give it back.
Let go. Go away!
What's your name?
Lee Ga Young.
How can you treat someone like that?
I stopped him from going back to Paris.
- Then you should have let him. - He asked me send you away.
Go abroad for a couple of years, and get some experience.
What?
You can't run a world enterprise overnight. You're getting too ahead of yourself.
Father.
Do as I say.
The manager is here.
Oh, okay. Let him in.
Sit down.
As you requested, Mr. Jung will go abroad and gain some experience.
Thank you sir. He should learn while he's young.
Oh, and Mr. Jung would like to apologize to you.
What are you doing? Why don't you apologize?
I'm sorry about that day.
I understand. Your ambition went ahead of your common sense after all.
Excuse me, may I have some water?
Is there anything you need? Shall I bring you a magazine?
In fourteen hours, we'll arrive at JFK Airport in New York City.
All together, it may take up to 16 hours.
When we arrive at the airport, there will probably be some people waiting.
I think Miss Hee Sun and Audrey will be there.
After we meet them, we'll eat with them at a Korean restaurant.
The owner there is my friend...
Then I'll see you later.
The success of a copy item depends on how similar it is to the real thing.
Think about it.
Why would you buy a copy that doesn't look like the real thing? Would you buy it?
Hey.
Hey.
Are you sleeping?
No.
Use this to buy your plane ticket.
What?
It seems like a good school.
Even though I think it'd be good for you to build experience here,
but they're giving you a scholarship.
You like free things.
But this isn't free. It's a loan. Pay me back later.
Aren't you going to thank me?
Thank you.
I could've gotten something to eat with that.
Rest up.
Where did you buy this?
- It looks real. - I know.
Since we've already gone this far, should we just become a couple?
Move your hand.
Do you have a girlfriend?
- No. - Really?
I have a boyfriend.
Who cares?
- Really? - Of course.
Even if we're both dead if my boyfriend finds out?
Yeah.
Try it on.
- Where's your boss? - What?
Where's your punk of a boss?
He hasn't come to work yet.
Hey kids. Tear this apart.
Young Gul. It's your friend.
Hello?
Why!?
Yeah, but why?
What?
Who?
Hey, is your boyfriend Hwang Tae San?
Yeah.
Oh seriously.
Get up!
What's wrong?
Why are you up?
I need to get out!
Did my boyfriend call?
- Everyone over here! - Hurry up!
Open the door!
I said open up!
I can't believe this. You're in big trouble!
Come here.
Get him! Get him! Get him!
And so? You let both of them escape?
That's how it ended up.
That's how it ended up?
Get it done.
Yes Sir!
Hey, you...
Hey, I think you'll have to hang low for a while.
I have nowhere to go.
What?
He wouldn't actually kill me, would he?
Really?
I didn't know!
Hello? Hello? Hello?
- You laugh? - What?
- Is this funny to you? - No sir.
I'm sorry.
- What do you think you're doing? - I'm sorry.
That...that's Kang Young Gul, right? Get him!
- Get him! - Stop right there!
- Hey! Are you done talking? - That's right!
I'm done talking! Is what I said wrong?
Seriously!
Why are you hitting me? You don't even have a job!
Is not earning money your specialty?
How dare you look down on your husband!
Go ahead! You just drink all day. You forget about your family.
And you beat your wife! You call yourself a man?
You insolent woman!
- Why are you two being so stupid? - What? Stupid?
How dare you call your father stupid! You little punk!
What?
- I rejected the admission? - Yes.
You're the one who rejected the acceptance.
- Are you here to complain? - No!
I never did that.
Here is the letter that you sent us.
See? You rejected the offer.

I have no money, no passport.
- I don't know what's going on. - Something went wrong.
It's not like I can afford a plane ticket back.
- Let's start over. - Just wash your mouth.
Is this fate? I think this is fate.
If you're not gay, what are you doing here?
That's what I want to know.
- Is your boss there? - What is this about?
Don't do it! Don't do it!
I'm just here because I want to know what went wrong.
They all died except for me!
