Miss Monte-Cristo (Miss Montecristo / Miseu Montekeuliseuto / 미스 몬테크리스토)

- Charge 360 J. - It's 360 J.

Clear!

Shoot!

- Charge 360 J. - It's 360 J.

Shoot!

Ga Heun!

Ga Heun.

Ga Heun...

Time of death, 11:37 p.m.

Hwang Ga Heun is dead...

My mother started looking well as soon as Ha Jun moved back in.

It even makes me feel relieved.

Right. Since I brought it up,

give Ha Jun a director's post that's vacant.

That soon?

There's no need to rush it.

Don't you think we can give him when you take Mother's position?

People wouldn't favor watching three generations of the owner's family...

move posts at once.

Appoint Ha Jun first.

Okay. I will.

How did the bribery go? Is he still not giving us?

No, ma'am. Koeun Apparel hasn't called yet.

So you ignore my offer?

Now that Ha Jun is joining the firm, we can't stall it anymore.

Give him an ultimatum now.

But President Ko's family is in mourning.

Do you think that matters?

I don't have time to care about them when it's gotten urgent for me.

We can't afford to wait indefinitely for an account that's uncooperative.

There are many contractors who are willing to bribe us.

We must replace them and secure our funds.

I need to hurry up to buy my shares.

Yes, ma'am.

I can't just sit and let them take Jewang Group away from me.

This is the World Wave Fashion Design Contest.

You have been eliminated...

in the last round as you've canceled on your interview.

Eun Jo applied for a contest?

But why did she cancel on her interview?

Hello?

This is the secretariat of Jewang Fashion.

We regret to inform you while you're in mourning,

but we can't wait any longer.

If you don't accept the vice president's offer...

until the day after tomorrow,

we cannot pay you.

The day after tomorrow is when the checks will be cashed in.

Do you have to take it this far?

Vice President Geum is very firm on this issue.

You will be replaced.

But you can't just decide that unilaterally.

You know I'm the chief mourner.

And she's the mother of Eun Jo's close friend.

Anyway, we can't wait any longer, so please deal with it quickly.

Gosh.

Sang Man, are you okay?

What's wrong? Does Jewang Fashion want you to wire the money now?

They're adding oil to the fire.

Just give them the bribe.

We have to be prepared for the promissory notes.

My goodness.

Don't you have an emergency fund?

I can't bribe Jewang Fashion even if they're handling it this way.

How stubborn you are.

Would you rather see your company go bankrupt?

I saved up some money to pay for repairing the shopping center,

but I'll have to pay for the promissory notes with that first.

Good.

Are your stamp and bankbook in there?

I'll take care of it, so tell me the passcode of the bankbook.

No, I'm going to stop by my office later today.

He won't even tell me that.

Why isn't Se Rin coming?

Wasn't she close to Eun Jo?

No, she wasn't. She was so jealous of Eun Jo.

Did you hear that Se Rin won the World Wave Contest?

They posted the announcement.

She must have worked really hard.

Her colleagues have a lot to talk about that, anyway.

Look. Doesn't it look so similar to Eun Jo's?

You're right. It's so similar.

She always used to copy Eun Jo's when she was at college.

Se Rin won the contest?

Excuse me.

May I take a look at that?

Pardon?

Oh, well.

Thank you.

It's just like what I've seen in Eun Jo's workroom.

How could this happen?

I'll have to call them and ask.

This is World Wave Fashion Design Contest.

Hello. This is the father of Ko Eun Jo...

who was eliminated in the last round.

May I ask why she canceled on the interview?

We were wondering the same thing.

She came in late, so we had to postpone her order and waited.

She walked in while Ms. Ju Se Rin was giving her presentation,

and I heard she left after seeing the works.

A presentation?

Were those designs the same ones that were posted on your website?

Yes, they are.

Though it's already over,

Ms. Ko would have won if she hadn't canceled.

She scored the highest in the preliminaries.

It's such a shame.

So you're saying my daughter would have won the contest...

if she hadn't given up on the interview?

My passport is expired.

I should renew it before studying abroad.

Is he calling because I didn't come to the funeral?

Hello, Mr. Ko.

Se Rin, I heard you...

I tried to recover by taking some pills, but...

I heard you won the contest.

I see.

People said they looked too similar to Eun Jo's works,

so I checked their website.

Did Eun Jo cancel on her interview in the last round...

because of you?

What do you mean?

Mr. Ko, do you think I copied her designs?

I didn't. Do you think I'm mad?

I'm sure you didn't.

I also want to believe that you didn't.

Eun Jo used to give up things for you,

and you two grew up like sisters.

But, by any chance,

if she gave up on the contest for you,

I intend to set it right.

I don't want her to regret it as she leaves this world.

The lady in charge of the contest said...

that Eun Jo would have won if she hadn't canceled on the interview.

Mr. Ko! I won the contest with my own talent.

It's true!

Is that so? If your conscience is so clear,

why aren't you coming to see Eun Jo?

I told you I'm sick!

Yes, I prepared for the contest with her.

The designs could have ended up similar at any given point.

Also, isn't it possible she copied my works?

Why do you suspect me?

I'm not feeling so well, and I'm not happy about your accusation.

I don't think I can come to the funeral.

This is driving me crazy!

How on earth did he find out?

Goodness gracious.

How busy does she have to be to not clean up after work?

Was that Se Rin at the time?

Right. The lights were on as well.

Eun Jo would never leave her room untidy like that.

I should probably check.

I will get into trouble if he finds any evidence.

The surveillance camera in the hallway of Eun Jo's studio.

It must have caught me sneaking inside.

If Mr. Ko sees it, not only my title will be revoked for plagiarism,

and if he finds out what happened in the summer house...

No.

Everything will be ruined.

Is this the right place?

Sang Man said he runs a shopping center in Dongdaemun.

The address written in the letter says that this is the right place.

Are you all right?

Watch where you are going!

Your eyes are there for a reason.

Well, you're a pretty but tasty lady.

- Is this Koeun Shopping Center? - I'm in a hurry!

She cut all my words. I couldn't ask her a question.

She is just my type.

I never thought I would meet my ideal type at a place like this.

I have a good feeling about this.

Let's go!

I should delete only the parts I went in and out of.

Sang Man!

Sang Man!

Look who it is.

Aren't you Wook Do?

Sang Man! I came to say hello after being released from prison!

Thanks to your sponsor while I was in prison,

I was released for good behavior.

It is all thanks to you.

You told me you can give me a job,

so I bore the shame to come here.

You came to the right place.

But I have urgent business to take care of right now.

This is my office.

We have met in such a long time.

Why don't we go out, have a drink, and catch up on old times?

I'd like to eat some meat.

I really wish I could.

Here.

Why don't you visit me again next week?

You are busy. We can always meet some other day.

I will visit you later.

Okay. I am sorry.

See you again.

She must have been in such a hurry to drop this.

Ju Se Rin?

She even has a pretty name.
