Cinderella
I'm so scared.
When you wake up, you'll be a lot prettier.
Hey!
I should wait outside.
Don't go. Stay with me.
It takes guts to be pretty.
Relax, okay?
Hyunsu!
It's okay. I'll be fine.
That doesn't work anymore.
You could've played along.
Try again, and I will.
Forget it. You're no fun.
What? Watch out your mouth.
Or I'll stitch up your lips. Better watch it.
You're gonna stitch up my lips? Go ahead.
And I'll report you for child abuse.
Playing tough? God, I'm scared.
Yes?
- We're all set. - Okay.
Don't worry, Sukyung.
It's time to become pretty.
Open your mouth.
Mom?
What?
School's out for the summer. Can I have some peace?
I can't sleep!
You have art class,
and school starts soon.
Take care of your skin.
It's pretty bad.
You care too much about it
and you don't let me do it.
Done.
You're the only lady doing this to an adult daughter.
'Lady'?
Not mom?
My lady. My husband. My mom!
To me, you're all that.
You're so possessive, my daughter.
- 7 o'clock, right? - I'll be late.
Don't let your friends wait.
Or you'll kick them out like you did last year?
They hated you for that.
We'll eat out by the institute.
Bring them home.
I'm sick of being home on summer vacation.
Give me a break.
Hyunsu's friend, right?
Want a nose job?
Okay.
First off, I'll stick this needle up your nose.
If my hand gets shaky, it'll prick the palate
When your nose is numb, I will cut it up.
You'll be conscious to see the whole procedure.
I can do it for you.
But remember. If anything goes wrong...
You'll be scarred for life.
Understood?
Yes.
Wait! I want an eye job instead.
Doesn't she look prettier?
You noticed that, too?
Her face has changed.
- Is it a diet? - Diet?
Or plastic surgery?
I'd never do it.
We're the ones who need it the most!
Hey, you dogs. Be quiet!
Don't I look better?
- Your face is beyond repair. - Come on!
Stop it.
- Isn't she pretty? - No way!
- What the hell... - She scared me.
I'll make you pretty.
Who is it?
I want my face back!
Who is it?
Who's there?
What's wrong? Are you okay?
You okay?
So hot!
What are you doing? It's melting.
Where's Sungeun?
It's my granddaughter. If you see her, call me.
She stinks!
I wanted to go clubbing.
My mom will be upset if we don't show up.
Stop the bus, please!
What's going on?
Sorry. Someone will pick me up.
Bitch!
If you bring Sungeun, we're going home!
See you in a bit!
Sorry. Sorry.
Hyunsu!
- Hey, you're late. - Hop on.
Hi.
For your daughter?
Yes.
Do you know her size?
This should fit.
Okay.
Hi.
- I'll take two of these. - Okay.
Let's wait inside.
- Hold on. - God, it's hot.
My legs are tired, and I'm starving.
If we wait inside...
What's that?
It's them.
Damn, I knew it.
She's a pain in the ass.
We didn't wait that long.
She disgusts me.
This is so fun!
What do you think you're doing?
Shooting a TV commercial?
We've been waiting.
I can see that.
It's been a while. How are you?
Can't you tell?
- Where'd you steal that bike? - What do you care?
- You guys are always fighting! - Come on.
- Hi! - Come on.
Thanks!
It's nothing.
Let me open it.
Happy birthday.
I wanted this doll.
So cute!
Very expensive.
Let me see.
- Help yourselves. - it's good.
Let's shake it, girls.
There you go.
Feel so high! Feel so high!
What?
How's the food?
Good. You must've slaved over it.
Don't come up here. Okay?
If I did, who would welcome me?
I know.
And...
Nothing. I love you!
Looks good.
The cake is so pretty.
- She picked a good one. - Thanks, girls.
# Happy birthday to you. # Happy birthday to you.
# Happy birthday, dear Hyunsu. # Happy birthday to you.
What are you doing?
Must be set off firecrackers after song.
OK, enough. Let's just start.
# Happy birthday to you.
- # Happy... - Oh my god!
- Hey. - Who is this?
Stop it, Sungeun. It's not your birthday.
I didn't.
Turn the light on.
No more matches?
Stop fooling around.
Can't strike a lighter?
Get off my back, will you?
I set off firecrackers with Sukyung before.
Do it right then.
Okay.
here we go again.
All right.
# Happy birthday to you. # Happy birthday to you.
# Happy birthday, dear Hyunsu. # Happy birthday to you.
A birthday hit! A birthday hit!
Turn the light on!
Eat this, Hyunsu!
Hey!
- Look at her. - So funny!
God, I can't believe her.
Damn.
Pretty.
- What's wrong? - What is it?
- What's the problem? - What is it?
- What the hell is going on? - Tell me.
- I'm leaving! - Hey!
It's Sungeun's fault.
Why put it on her?
She turns me off. I've had it with her.
She's our friend.
Not mine!
- There is nothing in there. - it's What you did to her.
I threw the cake at Hyunsu, and she jumped in.
You're really something.
Yeah, I'm something.
- Where are you going? - Wait up!
Bye.
Wait up!
It's nothing.
Check out this baldy. Remember him?
What?
This is so funny.
Don't you have any childhood pics?
Mom says she lost them when we moved.
- I don't have any kindergarten's pictures. - Really?
Open the door!
It's been days!
Come out of there!
Open it, Sukyung! Come out!
Sukyung, come here!
I don't know what to do.
She might kill herself!
Help me, Yoonhee. Please!
Sukyung? Sukyung?
It's me, Hyunsu's mom.
Sukyung?
Don't turn it on!
Sukyung...
What are you doing here? Leave. Get out of here.
What's wrong?
I shouldn't have done it.
My face has changed. since the surgery.
Okay?
What are you talking about?
I...
I can't stop wanting to mess up my face.
I'm sorry.
If anybody sees me, I'll kill myself.
You should tell my mom.
Don't bring anybody in.
Okay.
Don't, okay?
I'll make you pretty.
No.
This isn't my face.
What's wrong?
- it's mine. - Sukyung!
No!
Give my face back!
No!
Get out of here! Out!
Why? What's the matter, Sukyung?
Get out!
Sukyung! Sukyung! Open the door!
What's going on?
Sukyung? Sukyung?
Sukyung?
Open the door!
Pretty.
I'll make you pretty.
Sukyung!
Sukyung?
Sukyung cut up her face.
Why?
She must've hated the result of the surgery.
I heard she kept saying it wasn't her face.
- That's nonsense. - it's true.
It changed so much she couldn't even recognize it.
She paid the price for hanging out with Hyunsu.
You bitches! Shut the fuck up!
And you!
What?
You call yourself a friend?
Why yell at me?
How could you say that to Hyunsu's face?
Stop it!
Listen, Hyunsu. And you.
You guys are so funny.
Don't overdo it, okay?
You'd better watch it before I kick your ass!
You fucking tramp!
What'd you call me?
Stop it!
Sungeun? It's Hyunsu's mom.
I'm worried about Hyunsu.
Take care of her, will you?
Okay, thanks. I'll talk to you later.
Vivaldi?
What's up this early, Hyunsu?
Hello?
Hyunsu? Hyunsu? You can't hear me?
I can feel your heart through your hands.
When'd you get into Vivaldi?
Close your eyes.
Let me know if you want it off.
Signal me yes.
Sleep some.
Good for your skin.
I'll be back.
It's your mom's fault!
Had a bad dream?
It must've been real bad.
I'm scared.
When I was depressed, I held your hands.
And I could feel your heart.
'Cheer up, mom.'
Like that.
Mom...
Wash your face. I'll be right back.
What are you doing here?
You're not allowed here!
I came after the ball.
Gross!
You're not allowed here!
Nice.
- Aren't you glad you came? - Yes.
It's nice here.
Sorry about last time.
No, I was in the wrong.
- Hyewon. - What?
Anything strange when you look in the mirror?
Others don't notice it, but you feel something weird.
You do, don't you?
It's true? What else?
You saw something weird when you were put under?
Something creepy.
No, I'm not sure.
Now you mention it...
You're just too concerned about Sukyung's death.
It's medically impossible, right?
It's all in your head.
So don't worry about it. Everything's fine.
Thanks!
I feel so much better.
It's too loud.
Won't you say goodbye to your friends?
'1994, Choi Hyunsu before the surgery.'
What's the occasion? You never work out.
What? Don't want me take after you?
Quit the art class if you want.
I'm okay with that.
You sure you lost all my childhood pictures?
Vivaldi
I have a lot to do. Go back to work.
Hi, dad.
No.
Yes, today.
I really do.
You hardly see your dad.
I know!
Glad I had them on me.
Hope you like them.
What? You don't like them?
This. Why is my name on it?
Hyunsu, let me give this to daddy.
And we'll go to a park.
No!
So pretty.
Bowwow!
Wait!
Yoonhee, hold on.
Wait! We need to talk!
It's partly your fault.
This is it.
What's there to talk about?
Don't you feel sorry for Hyunsu?
Hyunsu!
She won't make it.
Doctor!
Calm down.
We can't let her die!
Yoonhee, please.
We should try everything.
Pull yourself together!
Let her go.
It's my fault.
It's all my fault.
Aren't you my mommy?
Aren't you?
What took you so long?
You said you'd be back after 100 nights.
You're bad.
I know, my baby.
Mommy!
I told you not to come outside.
Who's she upstairs? Is she sick?
Mommy!
Why do you look so sad? Everything is OK?
Take this, Let's go, it rains a lot.
How long has it been?
I call her whenever I miss her.
You have no right to see her.
Yoonhee.
Our Hyunsu died 12 years ago.
She has the same name, but she's not her.
She's not ours.
Hyunsu She's my daughter.
She's not your daughter!
She was a missing child, and you brought her home!
No, she's my daughter.
Okay?
Who do you think you are? You're nothing.
You know what?
You're sick.
She's my child.
Nobody can take her from me. Nobody!
Nobody...
Leave a message after the beep.
Hyunsu. You'll catch a cold.
Why didn't you call me?
You didn't answer my calls.
- I was so... - Mom.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, Hyunsu.
Go wash up.
You wash me.
Who is it?
Draw the tub, okay?
Hello? Who is it?
Hello?
What happened? I was so worried.
Let go of my arm.
What's wrong with you?
I'm not your daughter.
So let go.
What are you talking about?
Why'd you lie to me?
- Why? - Hyunsu!
I saw dad.
He's not my dad, though.
I don't know what you...
I was a replacement for your dead daughter!
Hyunsu, open it.
Open it now.
Hyunsu?
Mom, wash me.
Sungeun?
It's pretty good.
Let me go pee.
Hurry back.
It's the only picture I have from kindergarten.
What is it?
I got it from an old lady the other day.
She looks like you.
I'm that missing child.
She's not your biological mom?
So pretty!
What the...
Hello?
Hyunsu's cell phone is off. Is she with you?
It's your mom.
No.
Tell her to call me if you see her.
Don't even think about it. Or you're dead.
Damn. You're no fun.
What happened?
Chisel it here and here.
Make your lips fatter.
Lower the cheekbones. And deepen the eyelids.
Make your eyes bigger.
Inflate it here.
Chisel your jaw a bit.
Your ears aren't pretty.
This will do.
I'll make you pretty.
- Pretty. - Pretty.
Wait. Her eye color is different.
What's going on here?
How come you look like her?
So pretty!
- Get out of the way! - Hey!
Wait! Wait!
Come on, stop it!
Hyunsu!
- Don't do this! - Get out of the way!
What's going on here?
They all died after my mom operated on them.
Do you think it's because of you?
My face...
It's changed.
I should go home.
- Did you call her guardian? - Yes.
I can smell blood everywhere.
- is this her? - Yes.
Take her downtown.
What are you doing here?

Hyunsu, get it.
She's prettier, isn't she?
No, you're way prettier.
No, you like her better.

She's fine. No need to worry.
Don't call or meet her again.
Thanks for your help.
If we need you again, I'll call you.
- Help us again. - Sure.
Let's go.
# Happy birthday to you.
# Happy...
Why'd you do it?
Why did you?
Oh God...
My baby...
I'm sorry. Mommy's sorry.
Hyunsu, me
A window!
Mommy gave me cookies and went back upstairs.
I want to play with my sister.
But mom gets upset if I talk about her.
I'm so sad.
Mom said I could play with my sister...
... once she got into middle school.
But, she's not keeping her promise.
She says my sister hates me.
Through a ventilation fan, I saw her in a school uniform.
I wanna go to school, too.
Mom never told me Hyunsu's face was mine.
My face...
My pretty face...
I wanna kill them all. Hyunsu and her friends!
What took you so long?
I've been so cold.
You said you'd be back after 100 nights.
I know.
My baby...
I understand that pain.
- Hello? - What...
The call cannot...
Hyunsu, where are you?
What are you doing down there?
What's going on? Why are you locked in?
I don't know. I gotta find mom first.
Wait!
I have to find her!
Don't go.
Why not?
I don't know.
She spoke to me on the phone as if you were with her.
Mom!
Hyunsu! Wait, Hyunsu!
Mom!
Hyunsu?
Hyunsu!
Hyunsu?
Where are you?
I'm scared.
Hyunsu isn't here.
I'm the real one.
I'm the real daughter!
Sungeun?
Come on, wake up. Sungeun?
Open your eyes.
Sungeun?
- Sungeun? - Hyunsu.
Sungeun?
Mom?
Why'd you do it, mom?
Why did you?
I don't care about my face.
I don't wanna see you in pain.
All I need is you.
Hyunsu...
Your face It's becoming weird.
You know that?
Look at yourself.
Hyunsu, this is you.
Hyunsu.
It's time to give your face back.
Baby?
I'll make you a pretty face.
Mom...
Don't kill me.
Whenever I was depressed,
I held your hands.
And I could feel your heart.
'Cheer up, Mom'
Like that.
Mom... Don't kill me.
My face...
Give it back.
My face...
- I'm sorry. - I want my face back.
- I'm so sorry. - Shut up.
Give back my face!
It's my face! I want it back!
You took my face!
Give it back!
No!
Be a good girl.
All you need is mommy.
Right?
You're my precious daughter.
Come to mommy.
Come on.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I am... I'm your mom.
Your mom!
I am...
I'm your mommy.
It's me, your mommy.
Oh God!
What am I gonna do?
Mommy... My mommy...
You're the best mommy ever.
Don't hate me anymore.
Okay, mommy?
