Ruby Ring / Ruby's Ring (루비반지 / Rubibanji / 루비의 반지 / Rubi ui banji)

Ruby Ring

Episode 1

I'm Jeong Runa.

People say I'm a bad woman,

ruthless desire personified,

an evil femme fatale.

I don't care what they say

because what they say doesn't affect me.

Don't you have desires?

Does having desires make me evil?

Are desire and ambition different?

Look deep within yourself.

You just never had the opportunity.

I told you not to say anything.

The thing is...

Shut up.

Just don't say anything.

Runa, stop it. Slow down.

No. Slow down.

Stop it, Runa.

Stop it.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

This was the moment my life started

going on a downward spiral.

Or perhaps it had begun before then.

My fatal ruby red desire led me

on a path of self-destruction,

but destruction only makes me stronger.

I won't give up

my desire, dream, or love.

And I will never have any regrets.

Who would dare cast stones at me?

No. Go ahead and cast your stones

at my desire and ambition.

Chuncheon

Ms. Park,

I heard you dropped me.

This isn't right.

They say writers reign supreme these days,

but you shouldn't play games with people.

Pardon?

What are you doing here?

Let's talk outside.

Let go. I have nothing to discuss with you.

Come on. I'll explain.

Listen, Ms. Jeong.

Let go of me.

Explain yourself.

Cat got your tongue?

What's the matter with you?

Have you lost your mind?

We could've talked about it later in private.

It pisses me off.

I was all set to be the main emcee

for the upcoming show,

but the writer said no, right?

I told you not to be like this.

You need to control your temper.

You know I have a bad temper.

Just 0.0001% can

make or break things in this industry.

Plus, it wasn't Ms. Park's decision alone.

During the planning meeting,

people said your image wasn't right for...

What wrong with my image?

You should've dropped the writer.

You're the producer after all.

That's enough, Runa.

Put yourself in my shoes...

I said, that's enough.

What am I going to do?

I'm so upset.

You have to do something.

Runa.

You said I had it in the bag.

Let this one go.

I have it all set up for you to be

the main emcee for the second season.

Stop crying. You're being a baby.

Trust me. I swear.

You swear? Really?

Yes.

You're going to be a reporter next week.

Once you get that done,

I'll get the director to sign off on it.

Really? Truly? For real?

Yes. Really, truly, for real.

So don't just barge in anymore

because you're angry.

And don't take it out on Ms. Park either.

It will only do you harm anyway.

Are you 100% sure that

I'll be the main emcee for the next program?

200%.

You drive me wild.

Go get 'em, tiger.

Don't party and head straight home.

Make sure you're ready for next week,

including your wardrobe.

Don't you worry. You know me.

Hello, everyone.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm the new host,

Jeong Runa.

Jeez, Soyeong. You're making a racket.

Let's have some peace and quiet here.

Chorim,

my name isn't Jeez Soyeong.

It's Ko Soyeong, okay?

It's always "Jeez, Soyeong."

Jeez, Soyeong. Jeez, Soyeong.

You'll get it from me.

Welcome.

It's the dry cleaner's.

I've come to deliver these.

No one has come to pick them up.

It's $70.

$70?

For dry cleaning?

My goodness.

You must know our rates by now.

The receipt's right here.

I'm pressed for time.

Here.

Thank you.

Bye.

Runa, that wretched thing...

It's not like she's a celebrity.

Of course she is. She's on TV.

TV?

A split second every once in a while...

How does that make her a celebrity?

She'll get it from me when she gets home.

She's obsessed with clothes.

This is perfect.

Okay. I'll take this.

Just a moment, ma'am.

Okay.

Ma'am?

This card has been canceled.

That's odd.

I'll pay with this then.

Sorry, ma'am.

This one has been canceled as well.

Pardon?

Could you please remove the dress?

Do you think I'll run away?

It's not that, but...

Please use the fitting room.

Please be careful. It's expensive.

Even riffraffs walk in...

What did you just say?

Riffraff?

Pardon? What I meant was...

I'm a riffraff?

You're humiliating me

over a stupid dress?

Who do you think you are?

Don't you dare disrespect me.

How dare you?

Fine. I'll buy this, so wrap it up.

Never mind. Please go.

What?

I'm buying this. Wrap it up.

Your cards are canceled,

so just forget about it.

Wrap it up this instant!

But, sir,

you can't do this to us.

You said you'd sign the contract today.

We said no to another company

as we were waiting for you to sign.

Hello? Sir?

Sir.

What did he say? They're not signing?

They keep making excuses to delay this.

They're driving me insane.

We have to get it signed this week.

You're capable and persuasive.

You should go and talk to them.

Oh, man.

My blood's boiling.

Ruby, let's go out and

get something nice and cold to drink.

I can't. I have to draft

the plan for the Hoban Concert.

Who cares about that right now?

You need to come with me

so I can let off some steam.

But I have to do this...

Come on. Let's go.

Runa Mobile

Why isn't she picking up?

The person you are trying to reach...

I'll get it.

You finish that up.

Hello? Yu Gilja Spicy Chicken.

Mom, did you cancel all my cards?

Yeah, so?
