The Fabulous (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Look at them having fun.
As if they just started dating.
Being tired of acting like friends
and being cool,
they're doing whatever they wanted to do.
Bosh. How romantic.
Technically, that's a second-hand love.
Hey, don't
It's called upcycling.
It's a trend nowadays.
Guys, we should go on a trip.
Just the four of us.
Sounds fun and exciting, right?
You already seem excited.
A trip? All of a sudden?
Let's have a barbecue, a campfire,
and look at the stars.
-Sounds good?
-Yeah.
We can set up a tent and lie down
Camping? No, thank you.
I hate bugs, and I hate
not being able to take a shower.
Sleeping in the cold? Slay me.
Jjoseph, please!
Only if it's glamping.
Then, I'm in too.
Me too!
Gang-woo, do you even know
what this is about?
If Seon-ho says yes,
it's a yes from me, too.
I brought my bike.
A tandem bike?
Woo-min, let's go for a ride.
Hey, that's for us!
Nonsense.
It belongs to whoever gets on it first.
Hey, don't trip and fall!
Remember, safety first!
Hey, we call dibs!
Dating must be nice. So full of energy.
Bosh! What the hell? Who did that?
Wow!
I'm so sorry about that.
I was playing with my nephew.
Where did you get this?
Let me know, and I'll order you a new one.
Uncle!
I'll be right there!
How should I make it up to you?
No, it's okay. We're done eating.
Are you sure?
Yeah, it's totally fine.
Oh.
Thank you.
Let's ride!
Let's go!
Thank you.
No. Thank you.
-But what are you thanking me for?
-For waiting.
You know you were cutting it close, right?
You were being way too slow.
And what are you thanking me for?
For showing me all of your heart.
And for reassuring me.
VINTAGE AND SUSTAINABILITY
Why are you buying used clothes?
It's vintage.
This came out in 2014.
It's Patrick Shyong's last collaboration.
The designer died young in a car accident.
They say it's a flex.
This is more expensive
than this brand's new line.
It means it's worth the price.
It's hard to even find
vintage clothes like this.
Why are you leaving it? Why not buy it?
It's expensive.
Let's go.
It's time for you to go to class.
Hey! Don't sell this yet, okay?
-I'll come back!
-Okay.
Many brands are participating
because Ms. Ahn is leading
the brand campaign herself.
Is it because of her global influence?
Sustainability has already been
a concern among a lot of people.
Carbon emissions and climate issues
are all part of a global campaign.
Thanks to that,
we're promoting four of the brands.
There are many regenerated
fiber products from plastic bottles.
The work of a famous
British junk artist is coming too.
Trash was used as the material?
How moving.
They're on the plane right now.
Look at how garbage is gorgeously
reborn in the hands of an artist.
Ms. Oh, I didn't know
we had a meeting. I didn't get a call.
See, didn't I tell you?
Ji-eun would stay strong.
Come with me, Ji-eun.
Did something happen?
Ji-eun, are you sure you're okay?
Ms. Oh, if there's something I did wrong
Ji-eun.
Take some time off.
Sorry? Time off?
When you have a lot on your mind
and your heart aches,
you might think you want to stay busy.
But if you do that,
you might burn out and explode.
And you'll end up a total mess.
A mess? Me? Why all of a sudden?
Hey, there are no secrets in this world.
Cheongdam Daily will even tell you
how many panties a designer owns.
Don't try to keep it from me.
No matter what anyone says,
I understand you.
Any man. That's not true.
Honestly, Lee Nam-jin isn't just any man.
Anyway, just tell yourself
it wasn't meant to be.
But after getting dumped by Lee Nam-jin,
I heard you're so desperate
that you started
dating a photographer's assistant
who has no aspirations.
Is that true?
"Desperate"? No, that's not true, I'm
I know. I've been there.
But after all,
it'll hurt the guy you're dating now.
Just let everything go, and get some rest.
-Your vacation bonus.
-Ms. Oh.
It's nothing.
I should at least
take care of you like this. Take it.
You don't have to say anything.
"I'll enjoy my vacation."
That's all you need to say.
Okay, thank you.
Ms. Oh.
That photographer, you know.
He's actually someone I really love.
All right, I see.
Keep telling yourself that.
You got this.
I contacted your agency, and it seems
you're no longer under contract with them.
So I contacted you directly.
Thanks to that,
I get to have tea with you alone.
This is nice.
I hope you would say the same thing
about my offer as well. What do you think?
You don't need me for that pictorial.
It's a photoshoot
with body paint, not clothes.
It's fashion
that will be drawn on a perfect body.
I would think
you'd be interested in that as a model.
Not worn, but drawn.
Perfect for an environmental project.
Designer Jin Young-soo's work
will be drawn on you.
You know he's my ex-boyfriend.
That's all in the past.
Now, we're just a designer and a model.
It's been a while.
I asked her for this.
Please consider it.
The model is an extremely important part
in this project.
I'll be excusing myself, then.
What are you playing at?
All models should be chosen.
Models also have the right
to refuse to be chosen.
It's a rare opportunity.
If you turn this project down,
that will mean you're retiring for good.
Should I answer?
Then it looks like I'll lose my muse.
I wanted to renew our contract
after this project.
Trends change every season.
You should change too, Mr. Jin.
That's how you survive.
I can't keep changing my identity
just to keep up with the trends.
I don't want to be remembered
as a predictable model.
Ye Seon-ho in Jin Young-soo's collection?
That's too old-fashioned.
That's the power of vintage.
Even when it's faded and old,
its presence still shines.
That is a little touching.
The editorial is beautiful.
I thought he was just a big-eyed kid.
I guess he's talented in photography, too.
Thanks to Joseph's unique identity,
his work stands out more.
Esther, you always know
how to talk nicely.
Send this over to all the showrooms,
and ask them to sign contracts.
The more they know,
the more his pieces will sell.
We can't ignore the 12% commission
and organizing fee.
They'll be picking what they want,
but we should pick too.
Some showrooms even have
a set 40% revenue share.
They tell us to do this and that
with the clothes.
Joseph will lose it if he finds out.
I'm so glad that Joseph has you, Esther.
Still, our portfolio came out well.
I should send this
to the top three showrooms right away.
Joseph!
-What's wrong, Esther?
-E-mail!
Check your e-mail!
Thierry Henry
What? Creative director?
Jjoseph! Congratulations!
I'm so proud of you!
Look at these tears in my eyes.
-Where?
-Stop that!
Hey, we should celebrate.
-Raise your glasses! Cheers!
-Okay!
-Jjoseph!
-Jjoseph!
What's wrong?
Why is Thierry putting me
through this hardship?
I'm Joseph,
but he wants me to be Thierry.
Mr. Joseph is my identity,
but he wants to turn it into Earlaine.
Do you feel pressured?
A global luxury brand offered you
a job to be their creative director.
-And?
-Gosh.
But this is huge a deal.
Has there ever been a Korean designer
in such a great position?
I don't think so.
Right, this is something you should be
happy about and congratulated for.
Do you guys not want me around?
If I do this, I'll have to live in Paris.
And I'll have to give up Mr, Joseph too.
I don't wanna be away from you guys,
and I don't want to lose myself.
There, there.
Hey.
Jjoseph, did you have mascara on?
It was a "no-makeup" look. Is it obvious?
You were crying your eyes out,
and yes, it smudged.
It's super obvious.
Oh my, but you're still pretty, Jjoseph.
I got you a taxi.
You guys should go home
and pack for the trip.
Aren't you leaving?
What?
Well
I was going to help clean up.
Sly, Woo-min,
You're staying over?
Are you guys
So what? They did it
when they were just friends.
What are you guys talking about?
We used to sleep over
at each other's places.
I want to stay too.
There's only one bed.
So what? It's not like
she sees me as a man.
I'll sleep with Ji-eun. Right, Ppyoji?
Come on!
Ji-eun's mine now.
Well, then I'm staying too.
How exciting! We're having a pajama party.
Wait, I didn't bring my pajamas.
Hey! You should've brought one.
Jeez!
Turn on the flashlight.
-What?
-Where's your phone?
-My gosh.
-Ouch!
Hey.
Careful, be careful!
Sign here, please.
Yes, of course.
RECIPIENT AUDREY
Aren't you going to read it?
Ms. Bae, it's not my first day at work.
We'll return it on the dot
once the shoot is done.
And could you please tell Mr. Lee
that JD will be wearing Rublani.
The purse is the star this time.
Mr. Lee only did it
at the request of Ms. Ahn.
Oh.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
-Careful.
-Okay.
-Take care.
-Thank you.
See you later.
-Hello. Have you eaten?
-Yes.
That's Lee Nam-jin!
Mr. Lee!
Hello, I'm the CEO of Audrey.
It's been a while. It's been a while.
Right. Hello.
Did you think we were too clingy?
It's a good thing
we sent Ji-eun on a vacation.
Hello.
You brought a tent?
And you brought chairs?
Jjoseph said he can't make it.
Seon-ho said the same thing.
Those guys are such loyal friends.
Right.
So, are we going camping
and looking at the stars?
-I'll get you as many stars as you want.
-Woo-min!
Do you have to wear gloves?
Does the packaging have to be that fancy?
It's for JD,
so the packaging has to be gorgeous.
This piece is by an artist
whose work perfectly covers
the environmental campaign.
All the way from London.
Did you hear that, JD?
Still, it's just something made
by a junk artist.
The campaign puts more emphasis
on the "artist" part than the "junk" part.
I think it'd be perfect for you
since you're leading
the millennial and Gen-Z fashion trend.
Even though JD does streetwear,
you know everything she wears is
from luxury brands.
Of course.
Okay! Let's have a look, then!
Oh, how fancy.
Oh my goodness.
-I didn't know.
-What is this?
Is it too abstract?
You don't like it, right?
It's so artistic.
What a vibe, right?
This is so cool!
It's pretty!
Let's get ready for the shoot then.
It'll be perfect for today's outfit!
JD, this looks great on you.
You're the icon of the generation!
That was close.
Is it made from recycled trash?
Someone might hear you. It's an art work.
Sustainability!
Anyway, I heard from the HQ in Paris,
Thierry's picked a creative director
for the new sub-brand of Earlaine..
A rising designer in Korea was selected.
-You know anything about that?
-That's news to me.
Come on, think hard.
Don't you remember anything
from when you escorted Thierry?
No, there wasn't much.
Right! Joseph's pop-up.
Right, that weird little bag
that was on display.
Thierry kept saying how brilliant it was
and made a fuss about it.
It was all over Instagram
Joseph.
First, I'd like to thank
Thierry for this offer.
But I would like to stay here
at Mr. Joseph, because it's my everything.
Moreover, I don't want to leave Seoul,
my hometown and my identity.
Working with Earlaine
would be a great honor for me.
But I'd like to keep myself and my store.
What did he say?
He said he didn't want any offers.
I think he'll be really disappointed.
It is a very exceptional proposal for us.
We're sad about your decision.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Oh my, Madame Jang, hello.
-Who
-I'm Hong Ji-seon.
At your retirement press conference,
I was the youngest stylist there.
When I heard that Joseph was your son,
I thought artistry surely runs
in the family.
It's so nice to see you again.
Oh.
You're the one that insists on calling
my dear Joseph "Se-pyeong," aren't you?
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations, Madame Jang.
Such great news
for the Korean fashion industry.
You must be so happy.
About what?
I heard about everything.
The Korean designer
that Thierry Henry picked is
Wait.
Can you speak French?
Yes, a little.
Then, can you do me a favor?
Of course.
Oh, me?
Well.
Say hello.
Hello?
-Well done, everyone!
-Oh my!
-Great work, JD!
-Where's Ms. Hong?
I'm not sure. Maybe she's with Ms. Oh
to discuss something important
She's so mean.
Great work, everyone.
-Let's clean up quick and go eat.
-Okay.
What's this?
It's the bait I used whenever
you retreated into your cave in Paris.
-Pear juice?
-I warmed it up for you.
Thank you.
Joseph.
Guess what day it is today.
This day, seven years ago,
I arrived in Paris
and found out I was scammed
to my study abroad.
It's the most important anniversary
in my life.
Because it's the day we first met.
You were crying in the rain.
I remember.
I had nowhere to stay and had no money,
but you clothed me, fed me,
and even looked for a school for me.
You've looked after me so far.
We had so much fun then, didn't we?
Remember when we'd come home drunk
after partying?
We'd climb up six floors
and would fall asleep halfway,
because there weren't any elevators?
It was more than that.
We almost got kicked out
because we threw up all over the stairs.
Remember the kids
from the fashion kindergarten next door?
Looking at their projects, I used to cry,
because they were better than me.
But it motivated you to win
first place for your graduation project.
Thanks to my model, Esther.
You did well today, Joseph.
I didn't just blow a big opportunity?
I feel the same way as you.
I don't want to lose Joseph.
I love this song!
Hey! Are you an audience or something?
Get up and dance with me.
Come on, dance with me.
Woo-min's my best friend.
And Ji-eun's my best friend.
I can't live without Ji-eun and Joseph.
I can't live without Seon-ho
and Woo-min either.
Why can't you live without Woo-min?
He's handsome.
It's been almost a year now.
-You two still have feelings?
-No.
Great.
Then just stay friends.
Don't make it awkward for us too.
Just go back to
when it was the four of us.
Seon-ho and I have had it.
I really don't feel anything anymore
when I see him.
How do I say it?
It's like looking at dust?
I don't even remember us dating.
Honestly, Woo-min is the type who makes
a better friend than a boyfriend.
Long time no see, Woo-min.
How about you?
Are you okay being friends with me?
Yeah.
We should've made them
meet up sooner, right?
So we're back to how it used to be. Okay?
Thank God.
Shake hands.
The moment our hands touched,
all the feelings I tried to bury
kept rising to the surface.
I tried to be cool, but I wasn't sure
if we could stay just friends.
But deep inside, I guess I wanted
to keep seeing you, even as just friends.
You have no idea how relieved I was
that we could at least remain as friends.
How did you feel then?
How was it?
Hey, don't just laugh!
I mean, after we broke up,
you went traveling and kept working out.
You were fine without me.
I hated it, back then.
When I saw you again back then,
my heart was pounding like crazy.
It was driving me nuts.
I was worried that you, Seon-ho,
and Joseph would hear my heart beating.
If so, it meant
we couldn't even be friends.
I clenched my teeth, trying to hold it in.
Really?
Is that why you didn't say anything
and kept your mouth shut?
That's so funny.
I had no idea.
Ji-eun, look at the stars.
MS. OH
My head.
We opened the box,
and the purse wasn't there.
She didn't check inside the box
and just took it after the shoot.
Whenever JD has a shoot,
she brings lots of staff members with her.
Hyun-ji must've missed it
because she was so busy.
That's nonsense!
How do you lose an artwork?
Damages compensation clause.
"If lost,
all tangible and intangible costs
will be calculated as damages."
We didn't just damage it. We lost it!
We'll find it.
Yeah, we'd better find it. We have to.
What are you looking for?
A purse.
A very special purse.
A very expensive purse.
I mean, who would steal that?
It's not like they have done
a fashion photoshoot for the first time.
I know.
-Thank you.
-Oh, sure.
By the way, Ms. Oh,
where did you get the purse?
You said it wasn't a brand.
From Mr. Lee Nam-jin.
Seriously.
I'll discuss this with Ms. Ahn.
-Excuse me, sir.
-Yes?
Could you give me five garbage bags?
You used them up already?
There was so much trash
from the studio yesterday!
Don't use them up so quickly!
Gosh, why don't you keep
the recycling area clean?
All you do is sit around and watch TV!
Hey, when did I
Ma'am! Have you seen this?
What am I looking at?
Is that a plastic bag?
Did you throw it out?
Oh gosh.
You're supposed to throw trash out
when you see it, not keep it!
Where is this now?
Gosh, the garbage truck took it.
-It's
-What is it?
It's
-What's going on?
-What's wrong?
-Hey.
-Garbage
Are you all right? What's wrong?
What happened, Ms. Oh?
-Bring me some water.
-Yes, ma'am.
Ji-eun.
We went through the garbage truck,
but it wasn't there.
Ji-eun, I'm sorry you had to come back
when you're on vacation.
I'm so sorry, Ms. Oh.
I'm going to New York.
Wow.
I love New York!
I'm going abroad to work
as Model Ye Seon-ho again.
There's not much work in Korea anyway.
Living abroad was my dream!
Wow, dreams really do come true.
No position's open for you
in my plans for New York.
Your boyfriend!
Would I need you?
How about a manager?
My English is pretty good,
and I'm friendly.
I'm good at driving, too.
I already signed up with an agency.
I won't make enough money
to have a manager.
Then I'll use my savings
to make my debut as a director.
I'll follow you around
and make a documentary of Ye Seon-ho,
the supermodel's life story.
I'm not even sure
if it'll be a success or a failure.
Whether it's Model Ye Seon-ho
or the documentary,
at least one of them will be successful.
Drama is what makes
documentaries successful.
You can do it!
I've been waiting.
I thought I should thank you
for accepting my offer without hesitation.
It wasn't without hesitation.
You haven't changed, Seon-ho.
Say hi. This is my adorable boyfriend.
This is designer Jin Young-soo.
My ex.
Who is it?
Ta-da!
I got worried, so I came over.
Ms. Hong, please sit.
Are you all right?
I thought you might need a drinking buddy.
No room for soju.
Thank you, though, Ms. Hong.
Ms. Ahn and Mr. Lee are having
a meeting about it now.
I feel bad about it too
since it happened after JD's photoshoot.
Gosh, all this fuss
just because of some recycled trash.
It's not recycled trash.
Anyway,
it was made from recycled juice boxes.
Well, thanks to
the amazing magic of the artist,
it was reborn as a work of art.
Ms. Hong.
-Did you drive here?
-Yeah.
We need to go somewhere. Hurry!
Oh gosh.
Do we really have to go this far, Ms. Oh?
Do you need my help?
Huh?
This is it.
You found it!
You found it, Ms. Oh!
Oh dear, Ms. Oh!
Thank you for the ride.
I'll wait here. Go.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for telling me.
Since Ms. Oh's in the hospital,
I should at least drop by
to say thanks to him.
Is Ms. Oh's condition serious?
I think the stress
from what happened gave her a shock.
She'll be out in a few days
after some rest.
I'll be right back.
I'm sorry, but Mr. Lee's conference call
is running late today.
It'll be difficult to meet him today.
Is that so?
You can leave him a message,
and I'll relay it to him
once the call is over.
Oh
Could you relay my thanks
for taking care of the situation
with the junk artist's purse?
Tell him that I came by
to thank him personally.
Section Chief Pyo Ji-eun
from the fashion agency Audrey
dropped by to personally thank you
for resolving the issue
regarding the junk artist's bag.
You asked not to be bothered,
so I handled it accordingly.
I passed the agency audition!
I can finally audition
for Seoul Fashion Week!
A gift for your next audition.
This is
Wow.
Chae-young, I'm seriously moved.
You like me a lot, too!
You know I invest
in crypto and stocks, right?
This is an investment in my boyfriend.
Nothing more, nothing less.
There's no way someone as smart
as you would invest in just anybody.
It means I'm worth it, right?
Excuse me, one Coolpis here, please!
But how did you end up
doing body painting?
It was designed by Jin Young-soo.
There's nothing
the great Seon-ho can't do.
They're just a designer and a model now.
Still, they're exes.
Whatever. I've been
on a strict diet to get in shape.
Man, I could eat a horse.
Don't try to stop me tonight.
When you eat spicy food
on an empty stomach
-Come on.
-Gross!
We're about to eat!
Hey! I told you Ji-eun's mine.
That's unfair!
I'll find my own partner too.
Really, Jjoseph?
Is there someone?
Do you have a guy in mind?
I'm not telling you!
Gosh, there must be someone.
Jjoseph, who is it?
You have to tell me!
I don't know!
-Jjoseph!
-No, stop it!
-Come on, tell me!
-No way.
-Please tell me.
-Whatever.
-Come on, please?
-I said no! Wait.
Three orders of tteokbokki
with glass and ramen noodles.
And two orders of sundae and fried
seaweed rolls, and four fried squids too.
No, five fried squids.
I want an extra one.
These guys are so childish
that I can't hang out with them.
I think it's cute.
Let's stay here. It's chaotic over there.
Come on, just say it once.
It'll be our secret.
-Fine.
-Just tell me.
No.
-You're so mean.
-Where did you meet him?
This is delicious.
-Joseph!
-Esther!
-Hi.
-It's been a while.
-Are you here for some tteokbokki?
-No, you left your phone.
Did I?
You came all the way for that?
-Sit down and
-No!
Thierry Henry is making you another offer
for the creative director position
for Earlaine.
He'll respect
Mr. Joseph's identity, separate it
from Earlaine, and allow you to work here,
in Seoul, instead of in Paris.
Will I do okay?
Of course.
You're special, Jjoseph. You can do it.
Jjoseph!
Congratulations!
Jjoseph, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Everything's on me!
Please eat up!!
It's my treat, okay? Help yourself!
Get over here!
-This is just
-Jjoseph.
I'm so happy.
