Wish Upon a Star
Episode 11
You...
Jin Pal Gang,
I...
like a fool,
may be useless,
without any confidence,
and every day I'm someone who talks big and jokes around,
but I can safely say this line,
this very moment is not a lie,
and so...
please marry me.
Accept it! Accept it!
Jin Pal Gang, please marry me!
Accept it! Accept it!
You...
are the funniest and kindest man amongst everyone I know,
but...
I can't marry you.
I'm sorry, Tae Gyu.
Episode 11
This could have been my wildest dream come true,
Tae Gyu could have made it become reality.
Thanks,
but I'm so sorry about it, Tae Gyu.
Hey kid, stop acting like this.
Sorry, Little Uncle,
you even got me the diamond ring.
He said he was so confident.
Hey kid,
I even got you the diamond ring, you should have made it a success, rascal.
Why aren't you going after him?
If I did, I'm not sure what to say.
Please slow down a little.
No, let's just go.
Yeah.
You're home already?
Jin Pal Gang, please marry me!
Tae Gyu says he will bet his entire life on Pal Gang.
Did you think that woman is really suitable for Tae Gyu?
I think he's more suitable for her than some others I know of.
Who are those others you know of?
Someone...
who gets nervous in case she puts on Tae Gyu's ring.
You need anything?
No. Pal Gang...
Yes?
About Tae Gyu, don't you have any feelings for him at all?
Tae Gyu seems to be really serious about you.
Tae Gyu to me...
To you?
He's no different than Ju Hwang to me.
I think of him only as a dongsaeng*. (*younger sibling)
Oh dear. I think Tae Gyu will be drinking in depression for a while.
Pal Gang.
Yes?
Then what about me?
What?
Am I just an oppa* to you? (*older brother)
What do you mean?
What I mean is... is there any chance for me?
If so... if so... I'd like to give it a shot.
What I mean is, is there any chance for me?
If so... I'd like to give it a shot.
Study... just study.
This rascal again...
Let him sleep.
No, this rascal...
He's sick, isn't he?
Ahjussi.
Just put up with us for a month.
Other than that, what else can I do?
Nam Yi fell asleep again after drinking milk.
I'm doing spring-cleaning this weekend, will you all be home?
Spring-cleaning?
Yes. I'd like to do a thorough cleaning.
Then I'll help you.
No, I'll do it myself.
Oh yes, school's going to start for you soon, right?
Yes, next week.
Then you should arrange for them to transfer school.
The previous school is just too far.
It's not like we'd be staying here for long.
I think they should stick to the same school.
Tomorrow, let's arrange to transfer them.
No, tomorrow I'll take you guys to do the transfer.
Can we really go to school here?
We should be moving away soon.
You could be staying around here for some time.
Ahjussi.
What?
Have you decided to marry my Unni?
No Rang!
Who knows? It's hard to tell how things will turn out.
Come, let's eat. Eat more.
Thanks. Thanks, Little Uncle.
Indeed, Little Uncle, you're the best.
Hey, what are you doing?
You're helping me, you didn't think I could tell?
I can read situations, you know.
If Pal Gang marries me, she won't be moving out.
So the kids should transfer school here, right?
Really, really grateful to you!
I'll be thankful for life, Uncle.
Hey, are you crazy?
Uncle, I love you.
Jae Young is not feeling well so she's not eating.
Did she drink again last night?
Oh, this is not working for me.
I can't seem to sober up, I need to wash my face again.
How can a young lady drink so much?
Having your father drunk is enough already, you mustn't join in and make trouble too.
I'm not in some drunken stupor.
Things not going well for you?
Nothing like that.
If he doesn't stand on your side,
just take him as your enemy.
Then, you'd have an easier life.
Can't you do like other mothers?
Invite the man your daughter likes over for dinner,
and tell him to take care of your daughter.
Can't you do something like that?
I didn't give birth to you to be this insignificant.
Please go, I want to sleep.
Do you know why I hate him so much?
He... can't even love himself.
I know what that means,
'cause I'm like that too.
That's why I don't want him as your life partner.
Look around for someone else who can love his own.
Is that why you can't act like other mothers do?
You can't love your own, is that why you treat me like this?
No.
Not you.
You're my child.
A child I exchanged with my life.
We can do it ourselves.
I will clean this room myself.
Do you play games in this room?
No, I listen to music in this room.
I like music too.
Do you have the Digimon song?
I don't have songs like that.
What is this?
I told you not to touch anything!
That must be really precious, right?
No, I'm sick of it already and wanted to throw it away.
It's all right.
I can clean other things too.
You rascal, really!
I told you not to touch.
This is not working, kid, come with me!
Ahjussi, ahjussi! I was wrong!
Here, playing your game here is helping me out already.
I play games here?
Yes? I'm JK Insurance's FC Jin Pal Gang.
Pal Gang.
Grandpa?
Where are you? How do you know my number?
I asked the kids.
Is there anyone at your house?
Can I come over?
You can't, Grandpa. Right now, everyone's home.
Tonight, I'll call you then you sneak in, all right?
Don't stay out in the cold, go to a supermarket or something.
On weekends, there's lots of food tasting in the supermarket.
So you go there, understand?
Don't starve just because you have no money.
Eat lots at the food tasting counters, all right?
Yes, I got it.
I feel at ease only when I'm with you guys.
You really shouldn't be doing this.
Ahjussi, you're really perfect.
You think so too?
What's Pa Rang doing upstairs?
That kid's playing games on Lawyer ahjussi's computer.
But we're not supposed to touch Lawyer ahjussi's computer.
Pa Rang, that rascal keeps getting into accidents,
so Lawyer ahjussi told him to play games instead.
How about kalguksu* for lunch? (*sliced dough noodle soup)
Let's eat lunch out.
All right!
All right, all right!
All right!
Got through that, got through that.
I'm very good at this, right?
Yes, you're great.
Jump, all right!
Pa Rang.
Yes?
We're eating lunch out, you continuing with your game?
No, no! I want to go too.
Hyung, you'll stay home, right?
Nam Yi, here.
Ah! Aigoo, what a good boy.
I'll feed him. Team Leader, you eat.
You eat.
Wow, I think Nam Yi really loves potato soup.
I really like potato soup too.
You and I like similar things.
Wow, Nam Yi is smiling!
That's similar to you too, ahjussi.
Thanks for saying so.
Where did they all go?
They went out for lunch.
They left me out again?
They're too much.
Now, term's starting soon, let's get you some stationery.
Yay!
You really don't have to.
I feel bad enough already to be staying in your house.
Since you feel bad, everyone should get new outfits too.
Yay!
Hey, Team Leader, if you do this, I'd feel really terrible,
and too embarrassed to face you anymore.
I have lots of money but no one to spend it on.
You help me spend it, Pal Gang.
Wow, this looks great. Wow! Wow!
The monster's underwear is so big and so strong.
Feels like we won the lottery.
I really should not do this.
What?
I like Team Leader ahjussi more and more.
I'm so disloyal by doing this, right?
Since we're here, Pal Gang, you should get an outfit too.
No, I'm fine.
I told you I have nothing to spend my money on.
Wow!
Wow, that dress's pretty.
Nam Yi needs a change of nappy.
Go on then.
Our Unni never wears a dress.
Why? Has she got a scar on her legs?
Ever since our parents passed away, she only wears pants.
Wow!
Oh!
Be careful.
You all left me alone, where did you go?
Wow, what's all this?
Ahjussi bought us new clothes and stationery.
Really? That's great.
Now, everyone wash your hands and get ready for dinner.
Nam Yi will play with me, right? Unni has to prepare dinner.
Yes?
I prepared your lunch but you didn't eat any.
I didn't eat because I didn't feel like eating.
Well, if there's something you'd like for dinner, please let me know.
I may not be good at cooking it but I'll try my best.
Nothing.
Don't be like this...
I'm going to the gym, don't prepare food for me.
Where do you sleep when you're not here?
At the homeless shelter or some other places.
Instead of going out, why don't you just stay in here?
I have to make my money, you know.
Here, take this.
What's this?
Buy some milk powder for Nam Yi with this.
Where did you get this from?
I picked up something which got me quite a lot of money.
Forget it. You don't have much for yourself, how can I take it?
I'm still young, I'm better off than you.
Since you got the money, you should save it.
I kept some for myself too.
You don't have enough, I can't take it!
Why are you shouting?
You're the one who made me shout.
What's all that?
The folks here bought that saying term's starting soon.
That Lawyer?
No, his brother.
It seems you're performing well as a housekeeper,
they even buy stuff for you.
It's not like that, it's because he's an extremely kind man.
Maybe that guy likes you?
Stop talking nonsense. You should go to sleep.
You don't have to shout.
How did the case go today?
I won the case.
Oh I see. You've worked hard.
How about lunching out with me?
No, I'm busy.
Oh, the case is over already, you need a rest.
Nowadays many young people die of over-exhaustion, you know.
Lady,
hey, lady!
What is it, lady?
You're collecting debts here at the office?
You can't do that. We have regulations here, you know.
How can you come all the way here?
President, you've made a mistake.
She is an FC in our company.
What? No, I recognize her.
The lady from the bar...
I remember all the ladies there.
You two were there that night too.
- She was new in the job too... - No, she's not the one.
She sure is.
You should have lunch together.
What? She even worked in a bar before?
He got the wrong person.
Do you think I'm a fool?
So, what's the problem?
How can you let someone, who's worked in a bar, be your housekeeper?
Oppa, aren't you a compulsive neat freak?
No, I'm a bastard.
Whenever I get the chance, I'll get any woman out there.
A man like me can have a girl who's worked in a bar as a housekeeper, right?
What's wrong with you? Why do you keep speaking up for her?
Careful what you say! Don't keep saying 'her', use her name.
She is FC Jin Pal Gang.
An FC who has worked in a bar is definitely a problem.
A messy private life,
that's sufficient reason to be terminated, don't you know?
Hey, legal stuff, I know better than you.
If you abuse your authority, you'll have to fight against me.
You can really make someone feel miserable, Won Kang Ha.
Because of Jin Pal Gang, you're going against Jae Young, right?
You who hate to be involved in troublesome matters,
you're surely giving off a bad vibe, Hyung.
You're not having lunch?
Will there be problems?
What?
Ah! The president thought you were a different person.
I bought you so much stuff yesterday,
how about you spare me a lunch voucher today?
Build relationships through give and take, don't you know?
I...
I don't have lunch vouchers.
I'm getting off work right after lunch, let's leave together.
Where to?
You have a bad memory, don't you?
Today we have to arrange the school transfer for the kids, right?
Pal Gang.
Aigoo, why is Team Leader Won seated with Pal Gang?
Is it strange for colleagues to eat together?
Sit down.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you, Team Leader Won.
Accepting Pal Gang and the kids who had nowhere else to turn to,
without you, Team Leader Won, this would have been impossible,
and we know that.
I feel quite bad actually,
to get her into your house as a housekeeper,
I told you she's good with international cuisines and laundry,
those were all lies.
The lies were exposed very quickly, right after she fried eggs.
You can't even fry eggs properly?
Now I can.
It must be tough on you to take on the Useless Miss Jin,
it's not possible without some perseverance, for sure.
Eun Mal, just eat your lunch.
But I'm behaving like this because I'm so moved to tears.
Pal Gang, it must be so nice to have so many people care for you.
Yes, we're the Three Musketeers.
Its not a big one but we even do a Geh* together.
(*personal lottery of people putting in money then taking turns to receive monthly)
Once a month we meet for beef soup or potato soup.
Geh?
Yes, you can say we're the Three Musketeers from the entertainment industry.
Pal Gang looks a little like Lee Young Ae, right?
Jin Joo looks a little like Kim Tae Hee,
and I look like Jeon Ji Hyun.
Lawyer, a Miss Lee Eun Joo on the line for you.
Line number 3.
Say I'm not in.
He's currently not at his desk.
Oh no, you don't have to.
This is my heart, Grandpa.
But she didn't accept it, did she?
That is the case now,
but if everyone helps out, 'a little'...
Do you mean 'as soon as possible'?
Yes, 'as soon as possible', that's right, Grandpa.
Grandpa, this oppa lived a long time in the States,
that's why he's like this, he's not that stupid.
But Team Leader ahjussi is better, Grandpa.
You saw it yesterday, right? Team Leader ahjussi got us presents,
and treated us so well.
But... but... but that was all for my sake.
My uncle treated you well all because he wanted to help me.
Even this ring was bought by Little Uncle...
So the ring was bought by Team Leader ahjussi too?
No,
well... kids, let's go to the noraebang*, (*karaoke room)
we didn't get to finish it off the last time, right? Kids, let's go.
Let's do it. Let's do it.
Let's go.
Grandpa, you come quickly too.
Ju Hwang, you bring Nam Yi quickly too, understand?
And who do you like?
I don't have a favorite.
No Rang, Cho Rok and Pa Rang all seem to have their own favorite.
You're already aware, right?
What?
Grandpa, you said whoever marries my noona,
he has to bear a heavy burden, right?
That's right.
Tae Gyu hyung feels like this now but later on, he will hate noona.
Your sister has changed a lot.
What's the use of that? There are 5 siblings, you know.
He's acting like this because he doesn't know how cruel the reality is.
Now that the school transfer is done, it's too early for dinner,
what shall we do, Pal Gang? Shall we catch a movie?
Team Leader.
Why are you so nice to me?
I don't know, why is that so?
I'm asking because I'm curious about it.
So a man is nice to a woman, why is that?
Stop making a joke out of me.
Feels like a joke to you?
Yes.
Then just wait and see whether it's a joke or not.
- Wow, this is huge. - Wow, I bet that'll taste good.
He sure is a big one. He can probably
Pal Gang, look at this.
Why do you cut these so small?
Try some.
You tell me to try some but you eat it all up. What is left for me to taste?
Its buy one, get one free. How about some squash patties?
The groom is so meticulous.
Yes, I suppose I am, a little.
Yes?
Miss Lee Eun Joo kept calling to get your mobile number,
what shall I do?
Don't give it to her.
When I was in military service, I was an army cook.
Little Uncle, you don't have to go so far.
Were having a feast tonight. Go ahead and have high expectations.
If you do that, it'll make me feel bad.
Scoring a lot more points.
Oppa, you do something too.
Huh? Got it. Little Uncle, make way. I'll do it.
I'll just be an army cook too.
Ah... ah... ah! Blood, blood!
Why isn't the Lawyer ahjussi back yet?
You're back late. I ironed your white shirts and brought them up.
Goodnight.
What is that?
Ah! It seems Lawyer Won drank a lot.
I'll bring it up. You go rest.
Yes.
You're upset with something?
Nothing, it's just that you drank a lot more than usual.
What are you thinking?
What?
There are so many women in the world,
don't do this to that woman.
There are many other women we can casually have fun with.
You know me, right?
Before I seduce her, I always tell her I'm going to seduce her.
I asked her if Tae Gyu truly isn't for her,
she said she only sees him as a brother,
so I asked her "how about me?"
Don't play with her.
Pal Gang also told me not to take her as a joke.
So I told her I'll prove it's not a joke.
That woman is not the same as those other women we play with.
What?
She's a woman who's putting in her all to bring up her siblings.
Oh, that!
So just let her go.
But what to do?
I'm not playing with her.
I'm more serious than any other time,
no, it's my first time being this serious.
Hyung, since you're warning me not to joke around,
I must be even more serious in future then.
Goodnight.
What are you doing?
Waiting for your hyung.
Have you ever waited for me?
You never made me wait, I'm thankful for that.
This is the venue we often use for promoting our hotel.
We recommend it to clients looking for big scale elegance.
It's very hot.
The divorce proceedings have started but they won't negotiate.
Hey, why don't you ask for less compensation?
I told you I don't want any compensation.
Then why the proceedings?
That's why it's strange.
He's the one who strayed, right?
He kept insisting there's nothing going on between them.
It's going to be difficult.
My parents are very agitated, it's not going to last long.
They want me to live well and to manage this hotel.
That's great.
You guys do fire insurance, right? We have to renew ours.
I'd like to use your company.
Hey, then get an FC, why get me?
Thank you.
I have to get fire insurance anyway, a friends' company is better than not.
Tomorrow I'll get the documents ready and come see you.
Hey, how many employees do you have here?
And why do you ask?
Since we're here, how about let Pal Gang explain about life policies?
Actually it's not every day that we have good things happen to us.
I always say...
Has that lady cried a lot too?
In front of you. Is that why you're doing this?
No, she's strong.
She does cry sometimes, but she doesn't know she's crying.
You told me you won't fall into that trap, right?
You said you won't do silly things like fall into a trap because of a lady.
When I asked you to marry me, that was what you said.
But that looks like a trap, that lady.
I have jet lag, did you have to make me come out so early in the morning?
Why won't you ask me why I'm here?
Let me go.
I don't expect you to ask me how I've been, but this is too much, right?
I said let me go.
Who is this?
Lawyer Won, please make time for me.
I want a thick espresso.
I've just flown back from the States and I'm suffering from jet lag.
I need a wake-up call so make it thick, please.
Yes.
Don't just pay me lip service, make it thick.
I understand. And for you?
Just brand coffee will do.
Right?
Please.
Has it been 3 years or 4 years?
We met when you were working in the US branch...
Why are you here?
Are you married?
Why are you here?
Get married soon. Men get drunk if they're not married, that's not good.
Why are you here?
I have jet lag and my head's hurting.
Let's take it slowly, slowly.
Last time in the US, we agreed not to meet.
Thanks for that time, you save my shop.
Otherwise I'd have starved to death.
Then just live on, why come here?
We were surviving but,
I'm not sure if that guy ate something wrong,
went to Las Vegas and gambled away the shop,
what's the use of telling you all that details now?
I'm done with that guy.
Did you come to be congratulated? Your 5th divorce?
Why do you keep count of things like that?
You're so calculative that's why you're still not married.
Women nowadays don't like calculative men.
Gosh, really, I knew this would happen.
Didn't I tell you to make it thicker?
We already did.
So this is extra thick?
Please just drink it.
A cafe is a business too, you can't do business like this.
Take this back and make it twice as thick.
I understand.
Gosh, how can their attitude be so lacking?
Why are you here?
When the coffee's here, slowly...
I said, why are you here?
It's the last time you have to help me.
Actually, I really didn't want to come to you.
But what can I do? You're the only one I have.
And you are my only offspring, aren't you?
So why did you do it?
Since you were married 5 times, if you had a few more children,
there are more people to borrow money from, isn't that better?
Having my son snatched away, just once is enough.
I didn't want it to happen again that's why I didn't want more children.
Snatched away? Your child?
You don't remember because you were too young.
Didn't you sell your child away?
I was only 5 but strangely, I remember clearly what happened that day.
When you were asked it if was enough,
you said you should get another 100 million won more.
Why do you remember such things...?
I cried and hung onto you,
I wanted to live with my mother,
I didn't want to go to my father's house.
If you had lived with me, you wouldn't have turned out like now.
Like now? Like how I grew up to be an insurance cheat?
You're successful, aren't you? You have to thank your father for that.
Yes, to a 5 year old crying and hanging onto you, you said this,
I hate you.
I hate your father so how can I love you? So you leave.
I said 'don't do this' and kept clinging to you.
'Mom, don't send me away'.
'I will listen to you'.
'I'll be obedient and not get into trouble'.
'I won't get angry when you bring home those ahjussi'.
But you replied with only one line.
'I need those ahjussi more than I need you'.
I don't have a brain like that. I think you take after your father.
I don't remember a thing yet you can tell me so much.
Don't contact me again.
If you ignore me, I have to move back here.
That's not what you want, right?
Why aren't you bringing me my coffee?
Pal Gang.
Oh, Assistant Manager!
What brings you here?
A client of mine got hurt.
Are you on a stake out?
Yes, so many people commit insurance fraud nowadays.
After collecting the insurance payout, shouldn't they at least stay in their wards?
There's no honesty whatsoever.
Which bed number?
Oh, it's Pal Gang.
Ahjumma, what happened to you?
I fell sweeping snow at my front door, they said my leg's broken.
Does it hurt?
It hurts a little.
Can we get insurance compensation for this?
It's her fault that she fell.
Of course you can.
You can claim for hospitalization whether it's your fault or not.
I see.
Oh that's great.
I really saw it.
Because of that truck, Pal Gang's mom and dad died.
Man Soo, please...
But Pal Gang, it's a little strange.
What?
It's not Man Soo's habit to keep talking nonsense for so long.
The things he recites the whole day, he'll forget the next day and says something else,
this time it's for so long.
Last night again when the TV showed an accident scene, he said he saw it.
He'd bang his head on the wall,
it's really strange, Pal Gang.
I'll do some check, Pal Gang.
You'll do that?
Even if it's mentioned by someone who's mentally ill,
it doesn't sound like a lie,
I've been doing this for so long, I have a certain feel for it.
Then please look into it for me, Assistant Manager.
I don't want to.
You stay with Mom. I have to go to the shop for some delivery.
I'm scared of the hospital. They give injections.
You're not sick why would they give you injections?
Your mom can't move and she'll need the urine pan.
I'll stay with her.
Don't worry, Pal Gang.
We'll take care of the kids.
All right. Don't be too late.
Are my uncles real uncles to me?
I don't have any other closer uncles like you.
Really, what can I do?
Little Uncle, I'm so grateful that my tears are flowing.
Yes?
Do you have time tomorrow?
Don't scold your secretary.
I told her I must reach you about a case so I got your number.
You want me to show up in your office tomorrow?
Lawyer, why are you here?
Lawyer!
Lawyer, you've been drinking?
Lawyer.
Why are you here...?
Even you are troubling me.
Not you, please don't do that.
What's wrong with you?
Please assist me, Grandpa.
I'd like to marry Kang Ha oppa.
Can't you make her your life partner?
Not once have I taken her as a woman.
Must you act so cruelly?
It wasn't purely a traffic accident.
This person seems to be a professional at this.
Let's not have secrets between us.
That takes away my strength to come to you.
I will not become your toy for times when you're bored.
I'm warning you, don't provoke that woman.
I will not let her just leave with her siblings.
You assume I don't know what you're thinking?
