How old is she?
I heard she's twenty.
I heard she's inheriting everything.
Of course, she's the only family that's left.
I heard she's looking for her brother.
Then her brother gets the inheritance, too?
There are things that I see which can't be seen.
The people around me.
Their eyes on me are cold.
Colder than the snow.
The whole world is cold like this.
Where am I?
What hope do I have to live on?
I don't need anything.
Love me not

hello, Julian.
- Give me a cigarette. - Yeah.
How've you been?
Been great.
Where's Ryu Jin?
He's in the car.
Where's my car?
Well, it got smashed.
It got into an accident.
I swear I didn't do it. It was Jin.
Well, it's been a few days.
At that intersection by the club. Jin took the car out.
He dodged an approaching car.
But that crazy bastard crossed the median.
So he tried to avoid it, but wham.
Oh that? That's Ryu Jin.
I told you he was in the car.
People get small like that after they die.
Julian?
Yes, it's me.
- How come i can't reach you? - I was out of the country.
- Really? - Yeah.
- How have you been? - Fine, and you?
I'm fine as always.
- You missed me, didn't you? - Of course.
What are you doing today?
I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd go to jail.
Forget it.
He said he was going to take care of everything.
I didn't do it.
Well, all women are the same.
I'll make the iou for six months.
Thanks for this.
Don't do this.
Julian.
Don't go. You know how much I love you.
I don't need love.
Is this Ryu Jin's cell phone?
It's mine now.
Let's go to the club.
I got lots of money!
Julian!
- Julian! - Julian!
Where've you been?
So handsome.
Julian, look at me.
I love you everyone. Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Julian, julian.
My club's number one host, julian.
You've been through a lot.
But you know what?
I found out about it all while you were in prison.
So you wanted to go independent after swindling money from rich girls?
You know that bad rumors get around in this town.
Shut up!
Don't try to play games with me.
Look at me straight in the eyes.
Even your wonderful plece down there is through now.
What a cool breeze.
But i smell a woman's groin in the wind.
Shit, this isn't right.
People have misunderstood one thing about me.
A guy like me can never fall.
You got that right!
The king of adonis club will never fall.
So how about we go independent now as you planned.
Your fan club will be waiting in line all across the country.
I'll do my best to help.
Shit!
You bastard.
You crazy bastard!
Get out of the truck! You're a real wisecrack.
Get out right now.
- Long time no see. - You're a really funny guy,
with that big car of yours.
Hey! You!
You two know each other?
Damn it!
What the hell is this?
Huh?
Do you know how to drive?
This is crazy.
You look really beat.
Yes, I sure am.
I have a problem.
I know.
I heard you went straight to the club.
That's why I came to you right away.
You know? Really?
Please help me out.
Let's see.
Total, 2.87 million dollars.
Plus, the 6-month interest on the loan.
Sorry.
One month.
This clock is ticking on your behalf.
The world is unpredictable.
Fun, isn't it?
Hey! Wait.
Wait.
2.87 million dollars in one month?
Come on.
That's crazy!
Then, shall we make it three days?
When you were a big shot,
you were the one who demanded 500,000 dollars in three days.
So you should know the rules.
You should've lived with modesty.
And don't forget the one who made you what you are.
It's Julian.
Call me at this number.
Shit.
Why'd you bring that bastard here?
Ji-Hyae!
- You've got no manners. - Why the fuck are you cursing?
Go away!
- Yes, it's Julian. - Where do you think you are?
No way, so what happened?
So there was no other choice.
In that tiny basement,
I spent that winter with my insane alcoholic father.
What a rotten mother.
How could she have abandoned you?
Don't know.
He looked at me...
with a very sad face one day.
And then he caressed his hand on my face.
I really hated it.
His hand was damp and smelled strange.
And the moment he lit the cigarette in his mouth,
he burned.
In flames.
He burned in front of my eyes.
Half of his body was burned to a crisp.
That's nonsense.
It's a lie again, right?
Of course it's a lie.
Come on.
It was true?
Come here,
I'll hug you.
No, I have a meeting at three.
Here you are.
You're such a lovely woman.
Six months for the lou?
I told you, it's my present.
Money, money.
What? Only one grand?
What bad manners.
It's enough for just a pair of shoes.
- Dom perignon vintage, please. - Yes.
Who keeps calling a hundred times a day?
One of Ryu Jin's clients, I bet. Listen to the message.
There's probably no password.
You know the saying, your girl is my girl, and my girl is yours.
Or... regulars follow wherever the famous chef goes.
How much?
My name is Park Ki-Young. Your father's lawyer.
What does it say? You can tell if they're rich...
I'm calling you to talk about your inheritance.
Your father has passed away.
I feel really bad for the guy.
He sald he went through a lot
when he left home after his parents divorced.
His parents are all dead and now their son.
Only thing left is the money.
Whether you're rich or a host, you're all the same when you die.
Don't you agree?
Oh yeah, he said once that he's got a younger sister.
Then she'll get all that money.
This is his younger sister?
Yeah, she's twenty.
Twenty.
He wrote letters to her everyday.
Everyday?
Yes, everyday.
Crazy bastard.
- Play this. - Okay.
Let's go at least.
We'll hand over the ashes, and offer our grievances.
Tell them how sorry we are and shed some tears.
That way we'll get compensated with some money.
He's rich.
- Jin, what do you want? - Rice.
Anything.
Nothing hard about it.
We're the only ones who can give this to Jin's family.
Let's go.
What if you can't pay him back in a month?
He'll kill me.
What? Then he won't get his money.
I don't want to die, that's why I pay him back.
Damn it, it's raining.
It's pouring.
- What a house. - Hop out.
Look at that house.
It's a huge mansion.
What is your name?
Micky. Cute and fun Micky.
Not that, your real name.
Kim Tae-Ho?
Yes, Tae-Ho.
From now on, forget about Julian and Micky.
You're Kim Tae-Ho, Ryu Jin's secretary.
What?
There's also a woman in that house.
Hold on.
- Who is it? - Ryu Jin.
You're going to impersonate him?
You're no Ryu Jin.
I'm not going. I'm scared.
You'll go to jail again if you get caught.
Trying to take me to jail with you?
I'm scared.
Thank you for coming.
I'm Park Ki-Yong, the one who called you.
She's been taking care of this house for 15 years.
This is ms. Lee.
And mr. Oh here has been running your father's company after his death.
Pleased to meet you.
This is my secretary, Kim Tae-Ho.
And my sister?
- Mr. Park. - I know it's a formality,
but we need to make sure about your background, so...
so?
Check my identification?
Mother loved the clock on that wall.
But it's not here anymore.
It used to hang there.
That...
mother picked a picture herself, and hung it here.
It's all been changed.
Was it that bastard again?
I didn't come here for this.
So is that why the apple tree in the yard was thrown away?
There was such a thing?
The apple tree that mother raised!
We came to this house after you and your mother had left...
it was there!
Mother and I raised that tree ourselves!
Where's Min?
Huh?
Min.
Min!
Who are you to yell in here?
Min, it's me, your brother.
Don't let any strangers into my house.
Min, it's raining outside!
My sister can't see?
Actually, i was golng to tell you.
Min, wait!
Min, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Min!
It's been so long. My only image of you as a kid...
jin!
Min!
I'm sorry, min.
From now on, I will...
go back!
You and mom died 16 years ago.
I've never once forgotten about you.
You know that. It was all in the letters.
Letters?
There were letters?
No, we didn't receive any letters.
Mr. Park.
Compensate him and send him away.
In your father's will, your brother is also entitled to the inheritance.
You must sign first for the inheritance
- to be settled. - I told you he's dead!
Why do I need to sign for a dead person?
Okay, you take care of it.
Because I don't need that money.
Then get out of here right now.
Min!
We're the only two left.
I can't leave you alone and go.
If you smile...
if you smile like you once did, then I'll leave.
Until then,
I want to be with you.
Now are you satisfied?
Leave.
Min, my love for you...
I don't need love.
Cerebral thrombosis?
She fell sick when she was 13,
and totally lost her sight at 15.
What did that father of ours do at the time?
He did the best he could for Min.
He took her to all the famous hospitals.
He even took her overseas many times.
Although she was in a critical state, she survived thanks to him.
You'll find it comfortable for your stay here.
I'll clean up the room on the third floor.
You can move your belongings in there.
Don't worry about me.
I have to go overseas soon for an important business.
This is the room.
- Bye. - Thank you.
- Have a good rest. - Yeah.
I was scared out of my wits.
We would've been dead if it wasn't for this ball.
That girl's got a serious temper. She takes after her brother.
Is your face alright?
Go pack my stuff and bring them here.
There's a fine for every inch ripped even on a pool table.
So imagine scratching Julian's face. It's a crime.
So my life is in her hands.
He's different from what I had imagined.
As you know, people are influenced by the environment they're raised in.
I'm telling you, it was unreal.
I could feel his mastery.
That teary-eyed acting of his.
I should've recorded that stuff and study it.
But i didn't bring the camera.
Hey!
Do it right.
You missed the nail.
I'm sorry.
You can't get anything right.
You know exactly what an inheritance is?
Study that instead. Think you'll get the job done?
You two are hopeless anyway.
A ferrari.
Nice.
Delicious.
Thank you for the meal.
There's still some left.
It's bad manners not to finish.
Min usually doesn't eat much.
Then put your dishes away.
- Usually, I... - ms. Lee, I wasn't talking to you.
Min!
It's etiquette to take your dishes at least.
Saw that?
A blind person can't do this.
Ryu Min!
Please stop.
There are many people who can do this
even though they can't see.
Min!
I'll help you. Let's go downstairs.
I get scared if you suddenly grab me!
You do? Sorry, i didn't know.
But...
but ms. Lee can't always be by your side.
So let's put in an effort together so that you can do things yourself.
Is that what you wanted to say?
Don't worry about trivial stuff like that.
Money can handle everything.
I feel the same way.
Min.
Can you hear me?
The most important thing in the world
is that can't be bought with money.
Don't weigh money and your heart on the same scale.
Understand?
Min gets scared when many people are around.
She particularly dislikes outsiders coming here.
If something happens, how will you...
who did this?
I did not permit this!
Min, shall we play, too?
Ms. Lee.
Yes, I'm here, Min.
Send everyone out.
Send them out this instant!
You're being too mean to the kids.
Who cares? If I don't like it, that's it.
Yeah?
Then you leave.
Don't lock yourself in, just because you can't see.
Min...
don't interfere. This is a family matter.
Be careful on your way out.
Ms. Lee, what's the best way to grab on to a bilnd person?
Here, grab on to this.
I thought you've never been outside alone.
I'll help you.
Careful, careful.
Even the smell of the grass is nice.
All I smell is cigarette smoke.
Fine.
I know that you had a hard life.
But I'm here now.
There's only the two of us.
Us two have to live together.
So can't you open your heart a bit?
Oh yeah, you said money is all you need?
Sure you do.
But you think the world will be easy on a bilnd girl?
Never. It doesn't work that way.
Min.
I'll take care of everything from now on.
Just trust me and follow me.
Let's make a new start.
I know how you feel.
I'll never leave you.
- You know how I feel? - Let me finish!
How do you know how I feel?
Know how it feels to gradually lose your sight?
- Min! - Let go!
Know how it feels to lose the memories you want to cherish?
It would've been better
if I was just born blind.
I want you
to remember exactly how cruel you've been to me.
I was doing well forgetting.
But now,
you're making me remember everything.
Will the stone turn into a lump of gold?
I think you've picked up the wrong stone.
Jin.
Kill me.
Tae-Ho,
I got a favor to ask.
Are you sure?
Don't ask.
I ordered it from a trustworthy website.
But aren't you going overboard?
Who'd give a deadly pill to someone as a gift?
But it does seem possible.
People, you see,
don't die so easily.
So what does this cane have to do with it?
A present for my sister.
A mascot of fortune?
What?
A gift?
Min, what are you going to do today?
There are things that you see which can't be seen.
Want to go with me?
Anyway, what's in this?
Oh, that?
Drugs.
Drugs?
Drugs that will make you die.
I thought you wanted to die.
Don't be scared.
It was a joke.
If you say you're going to die again,
you'll get a beating, okay?
It'll relieve all your stress!
Come this way!
Grab the trigger and hold the gun like this.
And then shoot.
I'll aim for you and you just shoot, okay?
I can't.
Yes, you can.
Shoot again.
It was close.
What a great couple!
Let me take your picture.
I'll capture a wonderful memory.
Min, wait here. I'll be right back.
What are you doing? You were dolng great.
She'll hate you agaln.
Sadness follows happiness.
When it comes, it's very painful.
Right?
You feel like dying.
Min!
Sorry, I got caught up on my way.
It's okay.
Since you promised to protect me anyway.
In your awkward braille letter.
Show me something fun again.
A witch appeared.
The witch tries to kill the princess,
but the prince appears.
That sound's from somewhere else.
I know. Just get the explanation right.
But that witch is really ugly.
Very ugly.
And her cheeks are loose.
Stay still, let me see your face.
It's different from the face i had imagined.
Yes, her temperature has gone down.
Doctor, I did as you told me.
Yes.
I understand.
Good-bye.
Will she be alright?
It's nothing serious, but she'll need to go to the hospital tomorrow.
Then I'll send the car to her first thing in the morning.
Mr. Oh, you seem to look after Min very much.
I'm sorry, I haven't told you yet.
They'll get married soon.
Why haven't you told me before? I almost mistook them.
It's getting late. You should get going.
I'll take her to the hospital tomorrow.
Hello.
So is this Ryu Jin?
Nice to meet you. I should've greeted you sooner.
Sorry we had to meet the first time like this.
What are you talking about?
Pardon?
I'm sorry.
I don't remember at all.
Do I know him?
Of course.
But why can't I remember?
Since when have you known our family?
I must've aged a lot.
Think back carefully.
My family also knows you very well.
No, I'm sure I don't remember.
Stop it, Jin.
Don't be mean to the doctor.
Forget it. It's okay.
He could've forgotten. It's been a long time.
Whether it's 10 or 100 years, I remember everything.
Mr. Ryu Jin.
Now, let's go up.
Where are your manners?
I guess we take after each other.
Call me. I'll be outside.
No, please go on with your business.
We have some other things to tend to.
Okay.
Pretty, huh?
But she has no brains.
What happened?
I thought you two were going to the hospital.
I don't like that family.
Why? Something wrong?
They disgust me.
Why are they having a fit over her getting a cold?
She's no paper doll.
They're better than a fake brother.
Yeah.
Better than a fake.
Mr. Mustache is here again.
I told you she's the wrong stone.
Tell me the truth.
You like being her brother, don't you?
Min, try on this wedding dress.
It's in a v-neck.
There's a ribbon here. It's a high waist style.
This is a silver ring.
There's a small diamond inside.
You picked the clothes yourself for the first time.
I just wanted to wear them.
A rich girl can't help being tacky, either.
I should've followed my dad to the driving range instead.
Think the driving range will help you improve your swing?
Once this job is a done deal,
I'll take you to saipan.
You need to play golf there to get better.
You're taking me, right?
Stop the bullshit.
Just pay my money back.
Where's that lady going?
To the bathroom?
Who'd go to the bathroom with her bags?
Min!
