Birth of a Beauty
Episode 3
Was your heart broken?
Your husband stole Chae Yun.
Do you want to stop the marriage?
They can't.
Three weeks until they get married.
We don't have time.
Seduce Lee Kang Joon with powerful physical affection.
I'll try.
Because I'm really pretty.
Ahjumma!
I'm Sara.
Oops.
Damn it.
I want to be his wife again.
I knew it when I looked into his eyes.
Sara.
What kind of person are you?
That I still love him.
Ugh!
Can I meet you...
...once more?
Yes!
Great!
"Dreaming of a sweet and noble friendship." I'm reminded of that old essay.
It's a fantasy tale about longing for a person who lives nearby.
A person you long to see?
Are you...
saying that with me in mind?
Yes.
I wanted to see you.
Honey.
Our whole house is brighter with you here, Chae Yun.
Right, honey?
Chae Yun.
When you get married,
the two of us should eat out, watch movies and go shopping.
There are so many things I want to do with you.
Me, too, Mother.
It's my dreams to hold arms and walk with my in-laws.
Really?
Mom.
You're coming on too strong.
Someone might think you're the one marrying Chae Yun.
Why isn't Kang Joon back from his walk?
Chae Yun's here.
Call him.
I'm back.
Come, Kang Joon.
Chae Yun's here.
Gyo Chae Yun saw me but will ignore it?
She should ask why we were together and if he's cheating.
- Why ignore? - Chae Yun...
is one step above you.
Ta-da.
Our wedding rings.
They were ready earlier than expected, so I rushed over.
I wanted to see you again.
Men hate women who nag.
Chae Yun...
...knows that.
Then...
what will she do?
She'll grab his heart.
With charm.
Give me your hand.
Honey.
Honey?
It sounds so natural.
Honey.
You say it, too.
I have charm, too!
Is this charm?
This is violence.
Doctor.
This won't do. Lend me more money.
I have to dress better than Gyo Chae Yun on our date tomorrow.
[Proof of agreement]
HBS founding party dress rental $500.
Workout clothes $135, gym membership $350.
Delirium and appetite suppressing medication...
...$1200.
Skin care products, cellulite massage cream and other makeup $1300.
Stockings, undergarments and lingerie $270.
Let's just say we cancel the $100K charity donation.
But the total that you've spent in five days is $3620.
You have to pay it all back.
You know that's not all, right?
Expensive plastic surgery costs and $8000 worth of liposuction.
$1800 for rent on this place.
According to the contract clause 38,
you know there's 1% interest per day on the money you borrowed.
Should I go on?
No.
[Pawn shop]
It's my wedding ring.
Give me a lot of money for it.
Let me see.
You said you'd never give up your wedding ring.
I'll come back for it once I marry him again.
Wait, please.
Giving up your wedding ring to buy an outfit?
Will that be enough?
Then what?
What more do I need?
One night stand?
It's a powerful strategy, right?
Our goal up to now...
was creating a scandal.
But the goal has changed to you marrying him.
That's the only thing that can get rid of
...Chae Yun.
Yes! Jackpot!
Sleeping with my husband? I love it!
You love it?
Of course.
It's been over seven years since I slept with him.
I've abstained for so long, I think I'll produce sari.
I want to sleep with him immediately!
Ahjumma!
What if someone hears you?
Who cares.
We're a married couple.
Even so...
You can't talk about that in broad daylight.
You're not even blushing.
Saying you want it so much.
You're embarrassed, huh?
Okay, okay.
Since you're a bachelor.
Doctor.
What do I need for a one night stand?
Never mind.
What would a bachelor know? An ahjumma knows best.
So happy.
One...
Two, three...
Kamasutra...
fluttering phoenix pose.
Now...
the sexy...
...crane pose.
Ugh.
That...
Kamasutra...
...cat pose.
Meow.
Doctor...
Are you hot?
I...
I'm not hot!
Why is the chicken so spicy?
- What'd you put in it? - Huh?
That's weird. It's not spicy.
Doctor.
If you've eaten enough, can you come help me?
If I'm going to stretch correctly, I need help.
That's...
...kamasutra.
Why would I do that?
I don't want to.
Oh, my. Why not?
You always made me exercise so much.
Doctor...
by chance...
are you having dirty thoughts?
What pose?
Let's do it.
Okay.
Doctor...
Pull more.
Doctor...
Pull me closer.
More?
Good.
Ow, Doctor...
Why'd you let go so suddenly?
My back.
Ow, my back.
Doctor!
Ow, ow.
Am I...
excited over that ahjumma?
I saw tons of fat coming out of her body.
I touched the fatty folds of her stomach.
That woman is fake.
I'm a genius.
How can instinct take over the fake reality?
No way.
It's because I've been deprived.
I'm being taken in because I've been deprived for so long.
Being taken in my female pheromones...
That's for normal people.
Not for a genius like me!
Right.
Doctor.
What are you doing?
- Come out and help me with positions. - She's...
Doctor.
Meow.
Meow, meow.
It's cold.
Yeah, dress warm.
Mom.
Kyung Joo.
Oh, my.
To Shim Yeo Ok.
I'm Geum Ran's friend.
Take care of your health even if Geum Ran isn't here.
Geum Ran's friend?
Who could it be?
I wonder.
It looks like a packed lunch.
Sorry for making you suffer.
Mom.
When I marry him again,
I'll come see you.
Wait a little longer.
Mom.
Enough kamasutra. You got a nosebleed.
Good.
Smile at this angle on your date tomorrow.
Is this all?
I can sleep with my husband if I do this?
I'll handle the rest.
As you wish, you'll be able to sleep with him.
I'm so happy.
You have a beautiful smile.
Thank...
...you.
But Kang Joon...
are you hot?
You're sweating.
I guess so.
Why am I the only one hot?
If you don't mind, I'll take my jacket off.
When are we going to the hotel room?
Where is the doctor?
Hello.
Our restaurant...
has an event every season.
We pick the best couple...
and give them a gift.
You're the perfect couple for
...our restaurant.
Since you're so beautiful,
I get lucky, too.
Thank you.
One more thing.
It's time to kiss.
What?
A kiss?
Kiss!
She's dying of happiness.
Are you that happy?
Honey.
It's been so long.
CEO.
They...
entered the hotel on the 9th floor of this building!
Success?
Good work, everyone!
CEO Tae Hee.
Aren't you coming back to work?
Why take off three months? You're not even going abroad.
Yeah.
You're like Robin Hood.
Our consulting company, Restaurant God, has tons of luck with stocks and collaborations.
But you have to be here to discuss.
Come to work, CEO.
Okay, okay. Jeez, my popularity.
I'll come to work soon.
Relax and play until I get back, alright?
Yes, sir.
- We love you! - Thank you!
Honey.
I came round and round to end up here.
But it's okay.
Even so...
if we become a married couple again, it's fine.
Sara.
Yes?
Yes.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry.
We should stop here.
Is it because I cried?
I ruined the mood, huh?
I want to save you.
Save me? Why?
Why save me? It'll be wasted. Don't do that.
When I brought you to the hotel room,
I thought it'd be a one night stand.
But when I saw your sincerity,
I felt differently.
Think it over one more day.
And if we still feel the same...
let's meet again tomorrow.
Then, I...
like you...
will be sincere.
You just came back?
Nothing happened?
We fed him food that's good for virility.
Does Lee Kang Joon have a problem physically?
No.
He wants to think it over one more day and be sincere.
He saw you cry and thought you'd become tiresome. He stopped because he was alarmed.
Sincerity, my ass.
He wouldn't have promised tomorrow if he wanted to fool around.
He was honest about being sincere.
Jeez, he's putting on a show.
He wants to feel it out before playing around.
He's weighing you and Chae Yun.
He's making an art of having an affair.
He's the best of them all having an affair.
Are you disappointed?
All I have to do...
is wait one more day.
Ahjumma.
Don't you think Lee Kang Joon is a bad guy?
He's a cheater.
He threw you away.
Now he's cheating on Chae Yun.
My husband is a romantic.
You want to be in love with Gyo Chae Yun, too.
So?
Lee Kang Joon isn't a bad guy?
How can you be so blind? To the point of being dumb!
I swore to love in rain or snow, happiness or sadness.
I'm not dumb, it's a marriage vow.
You don't get it since you're a bachelor.
If you're that sure,
fine.
I hope that certainly lasts a lifetime!
Kang Joon, try winning once in awhile.
Someone might think you're losing on purpose.
What do you mean? I tried with all my strength.
Are you trying to kill me twice?
Let's go.
How is HBS's union?
Don't worry about HBS.
Just take care of Winner Group headquarters.
The union issue. I'll take care of it before the shareholder meeting.
I'll make sure it doesn't have a negative impact on your Director of Korea and US strategic team position.
Director of Strategic Planning?
The strategies and planning have to be good to be called the director.
What kind of Director of Strategy can't stop a union?
That's useless.
Right, Kang Joon?
The union...
I'll wait for the call that...
it's been dispelled.
I'll give you two hours.
Alright.
Our next match is this Friday.
Try to win.
Okay.
Director.
Call me hyung.
See you.
Here!
Fiery red.
In psychology, the color red
is known to increase a man's interest.
That's why women wear red lipstick.
If you put this lipstick on,
Lee Kang Joon will want to...
...kiss you.
How is it, Doctor?
Do you want to kiss me?
You obscene witch.
A genius is rational. They aren't moved by instinct.
Ahjumma!
What?
It's not pretty?
It's pretty.
Why are you mad then?
Because...
we might be late.
I'm mad because I'm frustrated.
Hurry.
Yes, Doctor.
Next...
Blush...
You can't?
We need to decide the wedding reception menu.
You don't have any plans besides rowing.
Something came up.
Then I'll see you after.
I might be late.
Let's postpone it.
A few days ago...
I saw you with Sara.
Am I being overly sensitive to...
recall that moment now?
Or am I right on target?
[Gyo Chae Yun]
Gyo Chae Yun is calling.
It's Gyo Chae Yun.
Can we meet?
Ahjumma!
Are you going to war? Going hunting?
Why are you acting so scary?
If I meet Gyo Chae Yun, I won't let it go.
What will you do then?
You better not touch Chae Yun.
I'm going to follow.
Hold on, okay?
Stay!
I'm busy. Who is it?
Ji Hoon?
Ahjumma!
Hey, Ji Hoon.
Hyung.
I'm in big trouble.
Mice.
I have mice at at my house!
Okay, I'll be there soon.
Jeez.
How is my acting?
Amazing.
I almost fell for it, Doctor.
I have to do this to get my whole family in one place together.
This time...
I'll call Chae Yun.
I'm going to glare at her.
Do you...
ever look in the mirror?
If she comes at me,
I'll throw her.
Bend her arm...
...and throw her.
If she still comes at me,
I'll hit her...
and choke her.
Pull her down.
Bend her arm.
There was a woman named Sa Geum Ran.
Sa Geum Ran?
What about her?
No...
Sa Geum Ran...
Who is she?
Kang Joon's ex-wife.
She committed suicide.
Her funeral was held without a body.
It ended badly.
Kang Joon abandoned his wife who took care of his family because of me.
We're not an ordinary couple.
Who are you, Sara?
Someone he flirts with?
A one night stand?
Nothing, right?
The conclusion is obvious.
It's a text from Kang Joon.
He's canceling your date.
No need to read it.
Bye.
Ji Hoon oppa.
I was meeting someone.
Tae Hee oppa's coming?
Of course, Kang Joon should come.
Ji Hoon!
Where's the mouse?
I'll get it.
I'll just...
Chae Yun.
Tae Hee oppa.
You're too much.
You disappeared for three months.
Kang Joon.
This is Tae Hee oppa.
Han Tae Hee.
We grew up together.
I heard a lot about you.
You're like family to her.
Have you heard of Restaurant God?
The restaurant consulting company?
It's Tae Hee oppa's company.
He gathered a few people and formed a company.
It rose to the top in a year.
He's skilled.
Chae Yun.
Tae Hee hyung.
Wow.
Everyone's finally here.
My future brother-in-law, I tricked hyung into coming because he likes to hide out.
I'm Lee Kang Joon.
I'm Han Tae Hee.
What should I call you?
Whatever you want.
This is your second marriage?
Yes.
Since you're not biologically related,
I'll call you Tae Hee rather than Brother-in-law.
Then I'll...
call you Kang Joon.
Right, Kang Joon?
Yes, Tae Hee.
Kang Joon.
Help me with the wine.
Hyung, this is heavy. Help me.
Just kidding.
I never played jokes growing up since I had to live with a foster family.
That's why I always joke whenever I can.
I see.
Ji Hoon.
I have another appointment.
See you next time.
Kang Joon.
See you next time.
Um...
Hyung! Hyung!
Ahjumma, where are you?
Where are you, Doctor?
I called a hundred times.
Where are you?
- Lee Kang Joon is a bastard! - Gyo Chae Yun is a bitch!
Lee Kang Joon, that jerk...
went to a hotel with you...
but he showed up at Chae Yun's oppa's house.
Two-timing.
What is that but a bastard?
Gyo Chae Yun insulted me for having a funeral without a body.
She bragged that she was chosen over his ex-wife.
Don't insult Chae Yun.
Lee Kang Joon is the problem.
Gyo Chae Yun is the problem.
Wanna start something?
- Don't think I can? - Hey...
How dare you glare?
Lower your eyes!
We shouldn't be doing this.
That's what I'm saying.
We have to come together at times like this.
Of course.
Let's revive the date.
A dying ember...
can burn down a house if relit.
In the game of Go, you can win it all even if you're losing.
Let's overturn it.
Throw yourself at Lee Kang Joon.
We live nearby. Throw yourself at him.
In the night.
Be real seductive.
Let's attack with a plan.
I can do it.
I noticed today...
I'm prettier than Gyo Chae Yun.
Of course.
A beauty and a genius.
We can do it!
We can get Lee Kang Joon.
A beauty!
They're dead.
Where is it, Sara?
Where's the mouse?
I have to ask based on what you're wearing.
Was there really a mouse?
No.
I wanted to see you.
So, I made it up.
Are you dressed like this...
...to show me?
Do you want to go see the ocean?
Now?
Then...
there's a place with a special meaning to me.
Can we go there?
Don't worry about the mouse.
We caught it already.
Lee Kang Joon, you're the mouse in the trap.
We...
came here on our honeymoon.
Do you remember, honey?
The phone is turned off and you will be connected to the voicemail.
Leave a message after the beep.
He turned his phone off?
Kang Joon.
This is a famous driving course.
The road is narrow and the cliffs are high. It has a great view.
I'll go a little faster along the ocean.
Sara.
[Food Truck of Love]
Damn it.
Hey!
We're short on help for the charity work. Why isn't your mother here!
Mom.
Dad wants you to come. You can't play.
I'm going to meet my elementary school friends for a hike. I can't cancel.
You always meet them because you have a crush on Mr. Park.
Honey.
I couldn't answer the phone because I was constipated.
Hurry up and come!
Ugh.
Are you okay?
Yes.
You said you had memories here with your first love.
I wanted to show you a nice driving course.
It's too bad.
Was it a big accident?
Yes.
Was it serious?
I guess it was really bad.
Can I give you a tip?
Don't try to avoid the moment of the accident.
Just face it directly.
Face it...
...directly?
When you recall the accident scene,
don't avoid it.
Then...
you'll see things you didn't.
Once you see the entire situation,
the trauma will disappear.
Knowing everything...
gives a sense of stability.
Face the accident...
...directly?
Of all the women I've seen,
you're the most beautiful.
Sara.
Are you okay?
I think you have a slight fever.
I'll bring medicine.
Geum Ran gave up on the challenge.
She committed suicide.
There was a woman named Sa Geum Ran.
She was Kang Joon's ex-wife.
She committed suicide.
Her funeral was held without a body.
It ended badly.
Suicide?
Why suicide?
It wasn't an accident?
Grandmother!
Move your car. Where do you think you're parking?
Where is this?
The President of Winner Group's home.
Move your car before my superiors come.
Jeez, Grandmother...
You're here, madam.
Don't make such a big deal.
I'm afraid to come home.
Madam, it's his first day at work.
Goodness...
Don't be scared.
It's okay to get on my bad side.
I don't want to live a long time. So, you can look down on me.
There you go again, Grandmother.
Stop talking about dying.
You know you can't die without my permission.
Okay?
My grandson is scarier than the grim reaper.
Let's go in.
Okay. It's cold. Come in.
I want to go with you next time.
Welcome, Mother.
Did you feed Mong Shil in the yard?
I fed him this morning.
Feed him more.
The dog looks hungry.
Ahjumma.
Ahjumma, I'm coming in.
Ahjumma.
By chance...
did you stay out?
She's not in the bathroom.
She's not in the kitchen.
I may not come home, so I made breakfast in advance.
Yes!
You did it.
You succeeded in one night stand!
Good job.
You're too good for Lee Kang Joon.
But since you want him so much.
Good work.
Congrats. Huh?
Good job!
Sara, I brought medicine.
Mother.
What if Grandmother hears you?
She still calls me Assistant Son when I've lived as her daughter-in-law for so long!
She has a dog so that I have to feed it!
Dog, dog food...
That's all she says to me.
Evil old lady.
You endured it well so far. What's wrong?
If the shareholder meeting goes according to plan, Winner Group will be ours.
Since there's not much time left,
everyday drives me crazy.
I feel like I'll throw up whenever I hear that old lady's voice.
When we take over the company,
your grief...
I'll relieve it.
I'll let you handle that tiresome old lady.
Be careful until the shareholder meeting.
Got it, Mother?
My precious grandson.
Why did you leave me so soon?
If you had lived,
Winner Group would have been yours.
I have to die...
to see your face.
[Sara]
The phone is turned off and you will be connected to the voicemail.
There will be a charge after the beep.
Who is it?
Hello, I'm Sara.
Excuse me, but is Lee Jung Shik or madam in?
It's Sara unni.
Ugh.
Geum Ran would have been perfect for this.
Oh, my!
Sara!
Honey! Honey!
Sara is here.
Hey!
Hi.
I don't understand people who complain they're tired
...doing charity work.
Charity...
fills your own heart.
Do you understand?
Yes.
I...
love helping others.
I...
feel like a useful person.
That's unusual for a pretty girl to say.
That's the first time I've heard since my daughter-in-law.
Um...
Representative?
Now that you bring her up,
I heard she committed suicide.
I heard from the employees.
Yeah.
She fell into the ocean.
It's not a pleasant topic.
Oh, no...
I heard...
her body was never found.
The current was too fast.
Her car was wrecked.
Ugh.
It was terrible.
It was an accident...
and there was no body...
Why do you think it was suicide?
Isn't that unknown?
There was a will.
What?
My daughter-in-law left a will.
A will?
Doctor, where are you?
Ahjumma!
Did you have fun last night?
Meet me now.
Your call is not going through.
What happened?
There are only bad memories here.
What?
Say that again.
I think...
there's something behind my death.
There's something behind...
...your death?
What?
A scary...
...conspiracy.
Conspiracy?
When people have
happiness before them,
they get a bad feeling.
They hope their bad feeling is wrong.
But unfortunately...
the bad feeling is...
...always right.
[Birth of a Beauty]
I died. How can I ignore it?
An overactive state of mind. Overactive imagination.
It's Gyo Chae Yun.
A family meeting before marriage?
They want me at their house.
Lee Kang Joon is mine. Let's find out who's behind the conspiracy.
Yes, Doctor.
Beautiful.
Thank you for inviting me.
- I'm Han Tae Hee. - Where's the will?
Show it to me.
Sara unni, you're so curious.
That building belongs to Chae Yun?
Why are you coming out of Kang Joon's room?
It wasn't suicide? You're trying to drag my son down.
I know you're interested in Sara.
I wasn't nervous.
Why didn't I suspect it?
I saw you here that night.
Sara.
Get out.
Get out!
Ahjumma, it's time we went our separate ways.
It's an emergency.
She wants to find her grandson.
Isn't her grandson dead?
Are you sick?
Mom!
Dad!
Everyone died.
Live or die.
If Tae Hee says live, live. If he says die, die.
Forget the conspiracy or whatever.
