Mrs. Choi, please.
Don't hang up.
Hello?
Mrs. Choi.
So, did you meet your first love yesterday?
What's your real name?
What's the name of your first love?
Tree.
Eun-suh, Choi Eun-suh.
Aren't you going to reward me for my good behavior?
I will, when it's all over.
When it's over?
- It's not over yet? - We still have lots to do.
We have to take our parents home and then have dinner with my cousins.
We also have to write thank you cards.
This is not good.
Let's run away.
- You. - Yes, sir.
How dare you look at me like that!
You have two kids?
Yes, sir. I didn't say they were my children.
- You... - Yes, sir.
You said you were thirty-seven.
- You did, didn't you? - I did.
What?
I only said I was thirty-seven because you seemed like a player.
Is that wrong?
I'm sorry, but I can't take too much time off from my work.
Have a nice stay.
By the way, sir, it was quite interesting
listening in on your fascinating social life.
But women don't like that.
That.
Hey, this doesn't have a zipper.
Isn't it bright? It has enough light, right?
Is this my private exhibition?
You said you're moving your studio.
You use this place.
This is my engagement gift to you.
This place is my gift?
I had a hard time moving everything by myself.
That's why I let you go to your hometown alone.
I wish you wouldn't touch my stuff without telling me.
- Are you mad? - I'm not, but...
But this is too much of a gift.
Don't feel bad. This place was being wasted anyway.
You can stay and work here temporarily until we're married.
But who gives a house for a engagement gift?
And I'll be moving to Sokcho soon.
Remember Ji-han?
He rented an old school that was closed down.
I'm going to help him out a little and teach at a college nearby.
You should've discussed it with me before making the decision.
That's what I should say.
You must've been tired moving all these by yourself.
Mrs. Choi, please.
Yes, sir. I'll connect your call.
Hello?
Hey, you know my taste in women, right?
Am I a player who makes move on just anybody?
- What are... - Mrs. Choi, what do you take me for?
You're nowhere near my type.
My types are more like Catherine Zeta-Jones or Claudia Schiffer.
She looked like a missus, short and pudgy.
And she says she's twenty-two?
She's pulling my leg.
Han Tae-suhk, what are you saying?
What's this about women all of a sudden?
Aren't you curious about me at all?
- What? - My engagement.
Don't you want to know what happened?
What are you doing?
Yoon Joon-suh.
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
I'll be down there soon. I'll see you then.
Engagement...
Engagement?
Is it his friend?
How's my brother doing?
Yes, sir.
Next week is Mrs. Han's birthday. Will you be attending the party?
I doubt she'll be happy to see me.
Let me have that. Where do I sign?
It's a regular personnel rotation.
What is personal maid service?
We assign a personal maid to our VlP guests.
Do you need a personal maid?
What's this? From an operator to a maid?
What kind of personnel move is this?
Did you hear the rumor the chairman's youngest son is staying here?
You mean he's...
His father and brother have already given up on him.
Let him have his way.
I hear he's a player. If he's singled her out, she must be...
You mean she's the one with the problem.
Maybe this is what both of them wants.
When did he have the time to make a move on her?
I had no idea we'd be in the same department.
I was so surprised when I saw you.
Choi Eun-suh?
I'm Manager Kim Moon-jung.
I'll be supervising your work from now on.
Please discuss every detail of your work with me.
Housekeeping has the closest contact with our guests
and therefore your performance reflects our image.
But no personal involvement with guests is allowed.
Our policy is to fire those who violate this rule.
Understand, Choi Eun-suh?
Your personal maid? What do you have against me?
Don't pretend you can't hear me. We have speakers in the pool.
I'm just an operator. I'm not even a full-time employee.
What would people think?
My manager already has the wrong idea about me.
If any rumor starts, I'll be fired.
Will you be responsible if I get fired?
What responsibilities must I take on?
I'm sorry, sir.
It was my mistake thinking I could actually talk to you.
- Talk is for humans. - What?
Be prepared. I'll need room service 24/7.
Be on your toes.
I heard you used to draw portraits when you were in junior high.
But why won't you paint me?
I can't paint you because you're too pretty.
What's that?
It's a beach near where I'm going to live.
Then it must be close to your hometown.
Did you go there often when you were little?
No, I went there once with my sister.
With Shin-ae?
No, not Shin-ae.
She was my cousin.
Cousin?
What did you do?
We just played around.
I drew her face on the sand too.
She must be not as pretty as I am. You painted her.
She wasn't pretty.
What is she doing now?
We lost touch when we moved to the States.
I tried looking for her last year, but she's moved to Seoul.
I thought she was your cousin.
She's a distant cousin.
I'm going back to Sokcho before my move next week.
I want to check out the school too.
I want to go with you. I miss Tae-suhk, too.
You can come with me when I move.
Tae-suhk is going to his mother's birthday party that day.
Tae-suhk is hanging in there better than I expected.
Mrs. Choi, I'm hungry. Three minutes enough?
I'm timing you.
What is it?
Did you lose something?
My watch.
I'm going to Seoul tonight for my mother's birthday.
Didn't you see a watch on this table?
It was there.
You saw it here?
When I was picking up the garbage...
Garbage...
How could you make a mistake like that?
What's wrong with me?
I must be the unluckiest person in the world.
I was burned by a watch before.
Eun-suh.
I didn't do it.
I really didn't do it.
It's not here.
Do we have to go through all the garbage?
I couldn't find it. I'm sorry.
Please wear this one until I can replace it.
I don't know how much it costs but...
Around three maybe.
Maybe four.
You mean thousands?
But I'm sorry to tell you...
You found it.
- Then... - Thanks for the pizza.
It was only a prank.
A prank, you say?
I went through every garbage bag looking for that watch.
And you say it was just a prank.
I hate people like you.
I'm sorry, sir. If you'll excuse me...
Choi Eun-suh, where are you going during your work hour?
Did you move your things to the dorm?
I'm going home to get my things.
Watch your manners.
Because of people like you who think hotel work is glamorous,
the other diligent employee get a bad reputation.
Take that back.
I didn't do anything to deserve a bad reputation.
How dare you glare at me!
You didn't do anything to deserve it?
I heard you threw water at a guest at the restaurant.
Are you dating guests now?
Watch it.
If I catch you again, I'll fire you for sure.
Trying to flirt your way out of your sorry life...
My daughter is still too young.
She's not young. Mom...
What?
Sir, let's just set a date.
No...
It seems your sister is not home today.
I'll come back another day.
Please, take this back.
No, enjoy them. They're fresh, straight from my ship.
I'll come back later.
Why are you going into a dorm all of a sudden?
I can come home once a week.
Have some food.
About Mr. Kim...
He came by with fish again.
I shudder at the thought of sending you to that old man but...
He did get your brother out of trouble many times, and this store...
I must be out of my mind.
I'm sorry, Mom.
But let me live with you a little longer.
My CD will mature next year.
Then we can pay off our debt.
Mom, let me live with you a little longer.
I'm sorry.
I should've sent you with them.
Mom.
Brother...
Do you like it?
It's really nice.
My work is done in Seoul.
- Maybe I should move in tomorrow. - Sounds good.
I was uneasy leaving this place empty and
moving back home because of my mom's nagging.
But did you get Yumi's permission?
If I stay here, she'll visit me here.
It's good for her health too.
That's right. She's frail.
Are you going out?
I found this neat place. I want to get a few shots.
Want to come along?
Are you shooting the squid?
I'm taking a picture of the town across the water.
Stay here. I'm going across.
Ji-han! Don't you have a better picture?
I think I took a picture of her...
Here it is.
You're still here.
- What brings you here so early? - Let me stay here for a few days.
Key.
Your phone.
You can ask the front desk to charge it for you.
But what's going on?
I think I saw someone I know.
Who?
I'll tell you later. I'll tell you when I find her.
You're keeping a lot of secrets lately.
I'll see you when I get back.
I'll be back in a few days. You can use whatever you want.
But keep your hands off my maid.
I'm sure I don't have to worry about you.
Your maid? A woman?
- Don't tell me you're... - I'm not serious.
Hey, it doesn't look that way.
Give me your phone.
- Who is she? - Wait here.
I'm not serious.
I told you I'm going home, right? I'm leaving now.
Will you charge my friend's phone?
He'll be staying in my room for a few days.
Do you like this watch? Isn't it nice?
I got it as a gift and I like it better than my old watch.
It even has a stopwatch function.
It shows the date too.
I'm sorry about earlier.
See you later.
Did you wait long?
Let's go.
Hi.
0215?
Your phone is charged.
I heard you'll be staying for few days, but I didn't see any luggage.
I left a pair of pajamas in the closet.
You had several messages.
Joon-suh, it's me. Why aren't you calling me?
I got your message. Who are you looking for?
Call me.
If you need anything, you can page me at 012-323-0215.
0215? That's my number.
Ji-han, thanks for everything.
She's just someone I know.
Hello?
You're breaking up. My battery is running low.
Hello?
I'll call you later.
Hello?
Yes.
Are you the villa guest?
Did you page me?
Hello? I need to charge my phone again.
You can take it to the front desk.
I see. Thank you.
I...
What brings you here?
I'm sorry.
I'm looking for someone.
Did you find that person?
I'm still looking.
Yes, your phone.
Will you come to the lobby now? I'll wait for you.
All right. I'll be right there.
It won't take long.
Hello?
Yes, it's me.
What?
I'm sorry, but will you go to the airport?
Is she all right?
She's all right, isn't she?
What happened?
She couldn't even eat while you were away.
Look what happened to her.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you were back.
Don't go.
I'm glad you came.
I was about to call you anyway.
Do you need anything?
Let's not be so formal.
You look really pretty.
That's strange.
Maybe I have something in my eyes.
What's wrong?
You mean, why am I drinking?
That's because...
If it's personal, you don't have to tell me.
- Excuse me. - I'm celebrating a wedding.
My mother in Japan got married again.
Is this her third or fourth...
No, it's her fifth marriage including the one to my father.
I thought you went to your mother's birthday party.
I did.
I have two mothers.
One who gave birth to me and abandoned me.
And my brothers' mother who regards me as less than human.
Why am I blabbing this to you?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you?
I know why.
I'm very interested in you.
Since you know my secrets, you have one on me now.
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Do you want to go out with me?
Let's go out.
I'll be good to you.
I'll try my best. I'll do everything for you.
Excuse me.
Stop right there.
Hello?
Did someone page me?
I paged you. I'm Han Tae-suhk's friend.
I was wondering who paged me.
I'm sorry I made you wait earlier.
I'm really sorry.
Something came up and I'm in Seoul now.
A friend...
A friend got sick.
I see.
Don't worry. It happens.
To be honest, I know it was you who paged me.
But I'm a bit upset.
That's why I pretended not to know.
I waited a long time for you.
I stopped by the villa earlier.
I remember your phone number.
The last four digits are the same as mine.
0215.
That's a birthday.
Mine too. It's a birthday.
I'm sorry I made you wait.
It's all right.
I'm glad it wasn't anything like an accident.
But is something wrong? Your voice sounds a little...
No, it must be the rain.
The connection is bad.
I guess you didn't find the person you were looking for.
No.
Maybe I made a mistake.
I really missed her.
I missed her enough to want to see even an illusion.
I see.
It's someone you missed terribly.
Wait...
Whose birthday is it?
Pardon?
Your pager number...
It's my brother's birthday.
Whose birthday is it?
It's mine.
Then...
Please come and visit us again.
- What do I do? - Just sit there like a painting.
I'm no help, am I? I'll just arrange paintings.
Then it's like a painting arranging paintings.
- Can I hang them wherever I want? - Sure.
Is this beach very far?
No, it's close by.
You want to go later?
You have to draw me too.
Come in.
Did you call, sir?
What happened to Choi Eun-suh?
Yes, sir.
She had to quit her job because of some scummy guest.
She didn't show up for work today.
She must be on a blind date with an old man just about now.
Old man?
She's a sacrificial lamb.
If you'll excuse me, I should leave before I get fired, too.
Wait.
Be good now, all right?
I'm glad Mom wasn't home.
Just imagine if she were here. She's such a nag.
Sir.
Please, get in.
Sir, get in.
First you don't show up for work and now you're on a blind date with that old man?
And whose fault is that?
I don't want to pick any bones with you.
That would hurt my pride too much.
Would you listen to my sob story today
since I listened to yours?
My family has defaulted on loans
and has been on the run countless times.
My brother is a thug.
He hurt his hand in a fight and can't work.
My mom lost all will to live after that
and we barely make a living with what I make.
But what do I do now that I lost my job?
That old man likes me and
he's willing to buy me if I'm willing.
Isn't that enough?
Shouldn't I be grateful?
How much?
How much are you worth?
I'll buy you. I'll offer you a better price...
This beach holds priceless memories for me.
It saddens me to have been here with someone like you.
I never want to see you again.
