Sea of the Woman (그 여자의 바다)

What?

We agreed to make you 100 by tomorrow?

We weren't aware of such an order.

I think you should call another factory.

I apologize.

I will visit you to return the down-payment.

Hello, Seonil Sewers.

We are not going bankrupt.

It's a rumor. Don't believe it.

We will complete your order when it's due, so...

Hello? Hello?

You two can get back to work.

Sir...

I said go.

- Kyung Hee, what's going on? - A client was here earlier.

We heard him scream all the way down here.

Is our factory in trouble?

I don't know the details,

but I think the manager did something wrong before he quit.

The factory manager?

Will the factory shut down?

What will happen to us if it does?

Come in.

Ma'am.

What is it?

Something's going wrong at Seonil Sewers.

What do you mean?

The factory manager took down-payments...

from the clients and disappeared.

What?

As the rumor spread, clients canceled their orders...

and those who paid the manager...

are demanding compensation.

I think you might have to help him out.

- Leave him alone. - Pardon?

Seon Woo said he'd manage the sewing factory.

Let him sort it out on his own.

The situation is too serious for him to deal with...

all on his own.

You can leave.

Ma'am.

I said leave.

Did you make a decision?

Yes. I think we should do business with Chungil Flour.

Good, I agree.

Call them up today and arrange for a meeting.

Then get all the papers ready.

- Yes, sir. - See you later.

Hello, this is Taesan Noodles in Incheon.

We would like to purchase your flour.

I'd like to come over with some papers. When are you free?

Yes, of course. Thank you.

Mr. Ko.

- Mr. Ko! - Yes, sir!

What do you want?

What were you thinking about?

Were you thinking about Kkot Nim?

I was not.

Yes you were. You were enamored by her yesterday...

and lost half your mind.

I was not.

I think of you like a brother, so here's some advice.

However much you like her, don't fall for her.

It's fine for a fling, but if you go there to see her every day,

you will lose everything you have.

Do you know what I mean?

I'm not like you, okay?

Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself.

Flings at that age hit you the hardest.

I hope he doesn't get into trouble.

Where is he? I'm starving.

Gosh.

Where were you?

Take this.

- What is it? - I don't know.

My wives told me to give it to you.

What's all this? It looks delicious.

Did you ask them to do this?

I did not.

I'm sure you did.

Thank you. Where's yours?

I already ate. That's all yours.

The amount I lost you, you can dock from this month's pay.

Are you still upset over what I said about the silk?

I don't hold grudges. I'm better than that.

I'm sorry. I got so angry that I blurted out a few things.

Sit down and eat up.

I told my women to cook something nice for you.

Did you? No one cares for me like you do.

I'm home!

You're in a good mood. Did you do well on the exam?

Not really, but at least the exams are over.

I could fly with glee.

You did terribly, then?

I must take after Dad. I'm not cut out to study.

Don't say that. You're smart.

I'm smart, but I can't stand the idea of studying.

It's not my thing.

What is your thing, then?

I like clothes. Pretty and grand clothes.

Stepmom, show me how to use a sewing machine.

- The sewing machine? - Yes.

I have to make something for tailoring class.

Okay, I'll help you out.

You can look forward to it. I'll make you some lovely clothes.

What should I make?

A blouse? A flared skirt?

Oh yes, look forward to it. This should be fun.

Starting next week, Dongju Bakery will buy double the amount of flour.

We shall meet with someone from Taesan Noodles tomorrow.

They will send someone over with the paperwork.

Okay.

So, what is Seon Woo up to?

The same as I said earlier.

He's been getting calls all day from cancelling clients.

Has he?

Let's go.

To the sewing factory?

Why would I go there? I'm going home.

Stop and go home.

Kyung Hee, I'm not used to having so little work to do.

We used to be too busy to eat properly.

How could one day make such a huge difference?

She's right. I have a bad feeling we might not get any orders.

Kyung Hee, are we out of work?

I hope we're not. I won't be able to find work.

Me neither.

I have to pay my brother's college tuition next month.

And my sister's rent.

What should we do?

Some of the girls won't come in tomorrow.

Just like that? Nothing's certain.

They know we don't stand a chance once rumors circulate.

We might have to look for a new job.

Like Eun Joo said, it won't be easy.

Dongdaemun's packed. We might have to do something else.

Like what?

I don't know. The best I can think of would be a helper.

Sook Hee, don't you know?

Know what?

How hard I've been working.

I'm innocently and diligently walking a straight line.

Yes, I think you are.

Why do you think Jae Man hasn't said anything?

Isn't it time he mentioned...

a personnel change or promotion?

Give it some time and wait.

He said he has a plan for you.

That's the thing. What is that plan?

Do you think his plan is to let me work under Mr. Ko forever?

Don't be silly. You know how much he cares about you.

Right? I know what he's like.

He must have a grand plan.

I realized once again just what a great man Jae Man is.

What do you mean?

Se Young means a lot to me,

but she means much more to Jae Man. She's his only child.

He gave her to poverty-stricken Mr. Choi.

That is proof that Jae Man doesn't care for money and is a good man.

Now you figured that out?

That's why I need you to talk to my great brother-in-law.

Get him to promote me before my life gets too miserable.

- Okay, okay. - My goodness.

He's working a bit late today.

Are you getting a new shipment from the US Army tonight?

Yes. Tae Soo and my men must be...

moving it right now.

Has the Namdaemun Gang bothered you since?

Not at all. I think they caught wind that Tae Soo's...

protecting our shipment each time.

Everything's going so smoothly thanks to him.

I see. I'm glad to hear that.

There's something I'd been meaning to ask you.

Tae Soo started off as an employee at your factory.

Yes, he did.

How did you find out he had a knack for fighting?

- Bye. - Goodbye.

Did you beat up my boys?

- Is this him? - Yes, it is.

Who are you?

What's going on?

Keep going on your way.

- Step aside. - You won't...

get away with touching my boys.

Do not bother me again.

Would you like to work for me and make some money?

What do you mean?

You're a pretty good fighter.

Would you like to do something other than factory work?

Like what, sir?

Things that require fighting, of course.

Sorry. I'd rather not.

I heard your father is very sick.

Your current salary...

isn't enough to cover the medical costs.

Do as I say and I will cover your father's medical bills.

All of it.

It was meant to be.

I think it's time to wrap up the previous investment scam.

Rake in the money.
