Elegant Empire (Uahan Jeguk / 우아한 제국)

I'm here because Gi Yun told me to come.

And I changed into your dress because I had to.

There was no reason for you to slap me.

What? Gi Yun told you to come here?

Is that true?

Did you invite this woman to our house without my permission?

Jacklyn. I'll explain everything, so calm down.

"Calm down?"

How can I calm down when that woman is with you in my dress?

Will you please calm down?

How can I do that?

She's wearing my dress! - Jacklyn!

Let go of me!

Jang Gi Yun.

This is just the beginning. - Let go!

Let go! - The beginning...

of the fiery pit you will experience.

How could you?

I'll kill you!

What were you two doing?

She was wearing my dress!

How could you do this to me?

Jang Gi Yun! - Soo A.

It's okay. - I'll kill you!

Wait. What?

Is it someone's birthday today? - Gosh.

What are all of these? - Hold on.

You're such a nice guy.

It's too good!

Nobody's birthday is today.

I just made them with what was in the fridge.

Are these Hee Jae's?

Probably.

What? Wasn't Director Seo transferring to WJ Entertainment?

Then she'll move out. So why would she need her own silverware?

What?

She's not going to WJ.

She'll stay at NA Entertainment.

Really? She'll really work with us?

Director Seo is probably talking to Jang Gi Yun right now.

She said she'd tell him that she wouldn't go work for WJ.

She's such an oddball.

Why is she turning down a thriving agency like WJ...

to work with us, although we don't even know if we can pay her?

Is it because of me?

I was really nice to her!

So that's why. You decided to make a feast...

because Hee Jae said she'd work with us!

No way!

I didn't cook because of her. I made these for us.

He can be cute.

I'm home.

Why are you in such a foul mood today?

Don't mess with me.

The worst happened today.

Why? Did they cut your pay again?

Who would dare cut Woo Young Ran's pay?

I knew it. They cut your pay.

You barely make any money and get your pride trashed.

Why do you keep holding out and trying to work in that field?

My pay was not cut!

Honey, all right. I get it.

Once I become the President,

you can't continue to act anyway.

You should slowly consider quitting.

As if!

I'm not going to vote for you.

What? What did you just say?

What? No, that was nothing.

Those were just empty words.

You already know how sensitive politicians are about their votes!

You and your immaturity are making me go insane!

I'm going crazy!

Good grief.

You're making me insane and crazy too!

Soo A, you still love "Snow White."

Is it because your mommy used to read it for you?

Yes, Mommy used to read it to me every single day.

I miss her.

Soo A.

Mommy missed you too.

Father!

Father!

Shin Ju Kyung's wrongful death.

I'll make sure I expose the secrets behind her death.

Jang Gi Yun, whom Shin Ju Kyung once loved!

I will expose your wicked true colour to the entire world.

Jacklyn!

Why did you give her my dress?

Why didn't you let her lie on my bed too?

I'll kill both of you!

Jacklyn.

Let go of me. - Jacklyn.

Jang Gi Yun, I approached you to find...

the truth behind Shin Ju Kyung's death.

I'll make you pay for your sin.

Because I, Seo Hee Jae, am...

Shin Ju Kyung.

Thank you.

You should thank Director Shin.

She came by so often and pestered me so much.

Ma'am, I'll quickly write up the press release...

for her model contract and send it to you too.

Okay. Director Shin.

Your idea to turn her into a warrior for this campaign...

was fantastic.

Na Hee was just cast for an action film,

so you also suggested we collaborate as a marketing strategy.

That was a clever one.

It must be true that you bring in all the business of WJ.

I'm flattered.

All right! I became a model for Miyu Cosmetics!

I was so thrilled, that it killed me to stay elegant.

Na Hee, what if someone sees you?

Frankly, when the chairman...

made you a director when you had under five years of experience,

I thought he did it for you because you were his mistress.

But no, he must've known how talented you were!

Director Shin, thank you so much!

Goodness, Na Hee.

Hello, I'm Oh Na Hee, a model for Miyu Cosmetics.

Please read the form and sign it below.

Eun Ha, the surgery will end soon.

The clinic promised to keep your abortion secret.

That's why we're here at lunch, when there aren't many people.

You don't have to worry.

Seung Pil, I can't do this.

Eun Ha, this is the best choice you can make.

No, I'm going to have the baby.

Eun Ha!

Gosh, you're embarrassing me.

Stop overreacting.

For the last ten years, Jeon Do Young was the model for Miyu,

but Oh Na Hee of our agency took the gig instead!

You deserve a round of applause!

Of course, you do!

All right.

You're such a talented agent...

who gave Na Hee a leading role instead of her usual side parts.

Director Shin, I admire you. - You're the best, Ju Kyung.

Okay, everyone. Let's get back to work.

We can do it! - We can do it!

All right! - We can do this!

My business is about to go public,

so if I keep this up, I won't have a problem...

buying and moving to a new office within two years.

It's all thanks to you, Ju Kyung.

Don't mention it.

It's all thanks to Gi Yun's leadership.

So you did know...

that my son led you quite well.

Ju Kyung, are you seeing anyone?

Chairman Jang, she's a workaholic, so she has no time to date anyone.

Marrying Ju Kyung off to another guy will be such a shame.

If it's that much of a shame, you can marry her, Gi Yun.

What? - Goodness.

My goodness. What are you doing?

Have you lost your mind?

Wasn't it enough to pay for their tuition...

and give them a job at your agency?

How dare you get the idea to marry Gi Yun with her?

I'm already annoyed enough that they came by to eat with us.

Ms. Hong, the chairman just said it as a joke.

It's offensive, even if it's a joke!

Good grief, I'm in awful condition. I'm going to sleep!

Look at that woman's temper.

Goodness, I feel a little sick too.

But then I don't think I'm that sick.

Ju Kyung, eat up.

Okay, Gi Yun.

Eun Ha, your life will be ruined once you have that child.

My life was already ruined for good.

It can't get any worse.

How did I end up facing this rock bottom?

I want to kill myself.

Eun Ha, don't get any odd ideas.

I'm almost there.

August 7, 11:07pm, 2013.

Ms. Choi Eun Ha has passed away.

Eun Ha.

Eun Ha.

Yes, Mr. Na?

Is something wrong?

Eun Ha...

is dead.

Excuse me? What do you mean by that?

Don't tell anyone.

Come to Seohyun Hospital's ER.

All right. I'm on my way.

What is it? Why did Mr. Na call at this hour?

Did something happen?

I don't know. I better go.

Chairman Jang. Please excuse me.

Please excuse me, too.

What? What could've happened?

Ju Kyung!

Go home. I'll get in touch.

What's going on?

It wasn't an accident but a suicide?

Why did Eun Ha make such a sudden decision?
