Speaker A
Walking out, [music] the more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets. The next morning, she shows up at her boyfriend's office carrying a bag. She pulls out a container of moldy kimchi [music] and dumps it right on his head. She sends
Speaker A
the two female co-workers in the room away, then grabs a chair and [music] sits down right in front of him. She lays everything out to his face. He tries to open his mouth and explain. She shifts away in disgust. On [music] her
Speaker A
way out, she throws one last cutting remark over her shoulder. [clears throat] The woman's name is Emma. She is the top photographer in Seoul's fashion world.
Speaker A
Everyone in the industry calls her [music] the legend of poster making. Countless A-list celebrities specifically request to work with her.
Speaker A
Her work has been published globally in a Paris magazine. [music] Right now, she is putting together a photography exhibition to mark her 15 years in the industry. She is giving it everything she has, but her assistant is clearly not happy. Whenever someone
Speaker A
praises Emma's work, the assistant [music] snaps on the spot. The assistant has studied under Emma for years, but she has always been jealous of Emma's talent. Her co-workers have had complaints about this assistant for a long time. Just as Emma is busy
Speaker A
retouching photos, a man comes looking for her. He wants [music] her to take on a new project, but Emma's schedule for the year is already completely full.
Speaker A
Forcing in another job would affect her other commitments. The man knows [music] this, but the client specifically asked for Emma by name. He suggests putting Emma's name on the creative concept while handing the actual shoot off to the assistant. The [music] assistant's
Speaker A
eyes light up with excitement, but Emma thinks it over and says otherwise. The assistant's expression [music] drops on the spot. Right after that, Emma heads to the shoot location. While checking the props, she notices a silk scarf. It was never part of the original
Speaker A
plan. The [music] assistant says she added it herself. Her reason is that the scarf is pretty. Emma finds this strange. [music] She admits the scarf is beautiful, but it would cover the model's neckline. Emma turns down the assistant's suggestion, but right before
Speaker A
the shoot begins, the model [music] shows up wearing that scarf anyway. When Emma sees it, she loses her composure completely right then and there. She shoots a furious look [music] at the assistant. The assistant stays completely calm. Emma holds herself
Speaker A
together and pulls the assistant aside for a private conversation. The theme of this shoot is a summer cover to capture a fresh and airy feel. Emma [music] specifically chose an off-shoulder look.
Speaker A
She also carefully selected a model with a beautiful neckline. No matter how pretty that scarf [music] is, it does not fit the concept of this shoot. After four years as an assistant, she should know that. But the assistant clearly has
Speaker A
no respect for Emma. And what Emma doesn't know is that her boyfriend's affair partner is her own assistant.
