Who is it at this hour?
I'll go and see.
I came to see father.
Dad, I'll just go out for a bit.
Stay with dad.
Okay.
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
What's going on here?
I'm sorry for discomforting you by just turning up like this.
Oh, dear...
So you ended up tempting a man who's already taken?
I'm sorry.
My gosh!
- Mister. - Just go home.
I'm sure you can't understand it now...
I said leave!
Go!
What could I say to you right now?
Migyeong's here right now.
Good bye then.
Sangu.
What was Hojeong doing there?
What's going on?
Why was Hojeong there?
I brought her to introduce to my dad.
Introduce her?
What do you mean by that?
Why would you introduce Hojeong to father?
Why Hojeong?
What's Hojeong to you?
I asked Hojeong to go out with me.
Go out with Hojeong?
I asked her to.
No way.
How can you do that?
Lee Sangu...
What's wrong with you?
I've only been telling you the truth.
I told you I wanted to break up and it was over.
I told you my feelings had changed. But you didn't believe me.
I wanted to meet a comfortable person that suits me.
I wanted to find security.
But still, Hojeong...
Since when?
I just can't understand.
How could you meet her in that short time?
How can you already be at the stage to introduce her to father?
My feelings were overlapped.
They changed as soon as I found out about your lie.
I was interested in Hojeong... Even before that.
You were interested in her?
Yeah.
When you harshly rejected me...
I had brought it all upon myself...
I wondered how I could change your mind.
I thought of it all the waking moments of each day... No...
I even thought about it in my sleep.
All I wanted was for time to turn back.
I even desired for that.
I thought about how good it would've been if I hadn't met you.
I thought about it every single day.
This is me.
So...
As of this moment, you and I...
Are strangers.
But I know you...
This isn't the Sangu I knew.
People only judge by what they've seen and experienced.
You were wrong in your judgment of me.
You...
When you said you'd break up with me...
It was the truth.
From the first moment I told you.
Did Hojeong leave?
I'm sorry, dad.
You were shocked, right?
Hey, are you insane?
Love can always change...
But how can you marry another girl as soon as you break up with Migyeong?
Who decides to get married that easily?
There are many people who go on one arranged date and get married.
Regardless of how, it's been 3 years since I've known Hojeong.
What's wrong with marrying the girl that's been in love with me for 3 years?
Hey... Are you by any chance...
Are you doing this because Hojeong's rich?
Is that why you're suddenly fallen for her?
Dad, come on!
Okay, okay. You're not one to do that.
Then what about Migyeong?
If you change your mind like this what will that poor orphan girl do?
Hey, Sangu...
You should marry the person you can be happy with.
I made this decision because I want to be happy.
What on earth are you going on about?
Rather than getting married to Migyeong,
I think I'd happier if I married Hojeong.
So what's the reason? What's so good about Hojeong?
Dad, you're not supposed to ask for those details.
Dad, this isn't a decision I made lightly.
It's so that we can all be happy.
Please accept Hojeong.
Sangu, no matter how much I think about it...
I don't think you can be a medical student.
Seoyeong says she'll do whatever it takes to send you to medical school first.
She says she'll work for a year to save up for university.
She needs to go to university too.
Of course, mom.
If I just add a little more to the enrollment fees that Seoyeong saved then you can both go to university.
So get into a college of education, Sangu.
No problem, mom.
That's great too. It's still a university in Seoul.
I couldn't dream of Seoul if it wasn't for Seoyeong.
I almost had to stay here on scholarship.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
If you think about our circumstances...
The right thing to do is work and pay off dad's debts.
But I should go to university for our future.
That's right.
What can you do? You can't choose who your parents are.
You were cursed when it came to parents.
Yeah, Lee Sangu. What do you want?
I want to hand in my application.
For a college of education.
Huh?
Weren't you applying for all the medical schools?
Excuse me?
Your sister already applied you to all the medical schools, you fool.
Seoyeong did that?
- Sangu! - Did you hand in my applications?
- Yeah. - Why do that without even asking me?
I was suspicious of you having private talks with mom.
And what about you?
You need to take another year off if you send me to medical school.
- Does that make sense? - What's wrong with it?
Neither of us getting in to medical school and mom continuing to suffer...
Would you prefer all three of us to be ruined because of dad?
Still, how can I go to medical school alone?
After making you defer?
Medical school is 6 years, so you're supposed to go first.
Even if I take another year off then go to law school or a college of education,
I'll still graduate a year ahead of you.
Then you go to medical school.
I'll take a year off and earn money.
Becoming a doctor was your dream since the 3rd grade!
It was your dream too.
But... I'm your older sister.
You were only born 3 minutes earlier!
And it's not just for you.
It's for mom.
Mom wants her son to become a doctor more.
Plus I find blood gross and scalpels scary.
I don't have to go to medical school.
I've already applied so just stick to the university that accepts you.
- Sis... - Don't worry.
I won't ask you to pay me back later.
Just earn your own allowance in Seoul.
I never want to tell you.
I'd prefer you never found out.
Please don't ask me again.
There's no way you'll understand me.
Did you have a younger brother?
He's out overseas.
He won't be coming back for a while.
The snow has stopped. Let's leave.
You go home first.
What are you doing out here, Migyeong?
You'll catch a cold.
What on earth are you doing?
Get up. Stop being a baby.
Go inside.
I'll head inside first.
I wonder what's going on.
Just what happened for you to be so out of it?
Did you break up?
Did it end well?
I couldn't break up.
If he can't get over it because you lied,
then he just doesn't like you as much as you like him.
Is that how it is?
He doesn't love me as much?
If he really loved you...
No matter how enraged he was,
he wouldn't be able to let you go.
I think it'd be good to give Migyeong some cold medicine.
Just leave her be.
Go to sleep. I have things to think about.
- Ujae. - Yeah, speak.
Early today...
Were you really angry?
During the day?
You just got up in the midst of drinking tea.
I angered you, right?
The snow had stopped and I had work to do. So I left.
- What? - Still, how could you just...
It wasn't like you.
Yeah, you're right.
But didn't I tell you already?
I'm a little touchy right now because of work and Migyeong.
You did say so...
But you're treating me so differently.
Can't you just tell me what's on your mind?
You're acting so strange around me these days.
I normally don't talk about work.
And Migyeong's business is private.
But you want me to tell you?
I just want to know for sure if it's because of me or something else.
Have you done something for me to worry over?
Have you done something wrong?
I'm touchy because there's so much on my mind right now.
But you want me to treat you the same as always?
That's not it, Ujae...
It's just a little strange...
I'm sure you feel it too.
I know I must seem strange to you right now.
But just leave me alone.
You don't want others to know your mind. Why try to know mine?
Isn't his recovery pretty fast?
It is for an elderly patient.
Wait a minute!
If she's going to disappear like the wind, she should go for good.
Can't get her out.
- Seongjae. - Mom, what's wrong with your face?
I really didn't want to tell you this.
I wanted to find some way to work it out on my own.
But I just can't find an answer.
What is it?
Is dad really having an affair?
It's not that...
Executive Yun says she'll tell your father everything.
She knows that I signed up with an agency?
Your dad hired someone to follow you around.
Vice-president, Lawyer Kelly Jeong is here.
Send her in.
- Hello, Vice-president. - Stop acting so formal and take a seat.
Guess you didn't forget your promise today.
Ask for as much as you want in legal fees.
I'll compensate you properly for breaking the first meeting.
Seongjae
- Hello? - Lady, I need to see you.
- You want to see me? - I'm on my way to the office right now.
I don't think I need to see you since I know what you're going to say.
Please...
I'll get there in 20 mins. The same cafe as last time.
Hello, Executive Yun.
Seoyeong, what brings you here?
I'm sorry for coming without notice, father.
What is it? Is Ujae acting strange these days?
No...
Well, yes.
There's a lot of frustration at work these days.
- Is there? - It's no easy task to run a company.
I relieve my stress by getting drunk, but Ujae doesn't even have that.
It's only natural that he takes out the frustration of you.
If you've got a family oriented husband, you need to put up with at least that.
That's the role of a businessman's wife.
- About the company... - That's not your concern.
Is it a really difficult situation?
Whether big or small, it's our job to always sort out company problems.
Ujae's work is growing and he's struggling under pressure.
I see. I never thought of that.
If he's been married 3 years, it's about time he acts normal.
Excuse me?
There's no man who'll dedicate his life to his wife forever.
And if there were, he wouldn't be in his right mind.
What you know about men isn't everything.
Just match Ujae's mood from now on.
Don't make him cautious of your feelings, okay?
Yes, father.
Say hello to Ujae whilst you're here.
It's okay. He must be busy.
Just say that I called you out for lunch.
Go show your face before you go.
You should share in your husband's troubles.
Follow me.
If you're looking for a collaboration, you'll have to contact these companies first.
It's already underway.
CEO, what a surprise.
- How are you? - Lawyer Jeong was here? I didn't know.
Come inside.
I called my daughter in law to have lunch together.
I was thinking of including you, but you have a guest.
Did you make a promise with dad?
Yes.
- So we meet here. - Yeah, I know.
- Do you have lunch dates with her? - Of course.
And thanks to her we get to entrust our work with a great lawyer like Lawyer Jeong.
Make sure you set my son straight. You need to look good to my daughter in law.
Ask dad to buy you something nice.
Seoyeong likes to eat stews in winter.
Lady!
I really don't suit business management.
Do you know how much I regret not majoring in film and theater?
Go tell the CEO that.
You could just overlook this once.
Just say that I attend all my classes, and there's nothing to be concerned about.
You still don't know what your father's like.
No matter how scary dad is I have no intention of being his slave.
Lady.
You cleaned up after every time I caused trouble in junior high.
You even said I was like a son.
Please just keep it a secret until the end of the semester.
You know your dad...
I mean, I agree with the CEO.
Lady!
What would you get out of me getting caught and being dragged off to the army?
Will dad pay you a reward or something?
Stop speaking nonsense.
I'm doing this for your future.
If you mean that, then you must keep this a secret.
If you just overlook this one last time...
Yeah, once I become a star, I'll do whatever you want.
I'll give you a life that's 100 times more fun than being my dad's secretary.
Okay?
And what could be 100 times more fun?
Well, that is...
Have you had lunch?
Let's go have something nice and continue this conversation.
It's 11 o'clock.
It's the perfect time for brunch.
This place is good, right?
It is good.
Make sure you come here when you get a boyfriend.
Not many people know about this place.
If you keep my secret, I'll take you to eateries every month, no, every week!
I'll have another thing about what's best for you.
Lady...
Do people only fall for the same thing?
Is the type of person you love predetermined?
Do you have a girl you like?
It didn't seem like you were hanging out with girls these days.
Can you introduce me to the person that followed me around?
What?
No, forget it.
What's going on?
Is something on your mind?
If you keep my secret, I'll tell you.
And what will you do for me if I do?
He said it'd take a while to convince Director Yun...
But why's he taking so long?
My Seongjae
Yes, Seongjae, my son.
What happened? How did it go?
Mom, don't worry. We've averted disaster for now.
- We have? - Of course, who am I?
I've made it almost 100% certain for her not to speak. Did Executive Yun say she wouldn't say anything?
That's a relief... Did Executive Yun say she wouldn't say anything?
That's a relief...
I'll drop by the agency before I go home.
Okay.
Why are you looking at me like that?
- Where are you going? - The bathroom.
Your first lesson is at 4 so make sure you're not late.
My first lesson...
- What are you looking at? - Nothing...
Geez...
Did he steal his son's clothes?
- Mister! - Hey, Gibeom's son!
It is you, Seongjae.
What are you doing here?
The thing is...
DNBLACK's Jung Yonghwa's friend's brother's girlfriend's friend's boyfriend is my friend.
So I came to look around the agency.
What are you doing here, mister?
Oh...
And why are you dressed that way?
I came out for business but it was too uncomfortable to wear a suit...
I have a friend I know here as well, so I just dropped by.
I see.
Then I'll see you later.
Yeah, bye.
I just shut the lady up and now him?
Just wait a bit. There's someone else coming.
Aren't I getting one on one lessons?
Oh, is there another trainee?
He's not an official trainee
but he's about the same level as you so you'll be learning together.
Oh, there he is now.
You...
So you were into acting...
I had no idea.
I had no idea your dream was to become an actor.
But you'll be beaten to death if your dad found out.
Have you kept this a secret?
You quit your job...
What will you do if your wife finds out?
You're right.
- Seongjae. - Mister.
Let's keep this meeting a secret.
An absolute secret.
Until we become actors.
Until both of us make our debuts.
Yeah.
What is it that you need dad here before you tell us?
Just tell me.
I'll tell you once dad gets home.
I'm sorry for being late, Hojeong.
Okay, begin.
Mom, dad... Thank you for raising me for the past 26 years.
I thank you so much.
Hojeong, what's wrong with you?
Though I didn't deserve it, you raised me with love...
I've grown up with so much attention and love because I was your daughter.
You mean an excessive amount of attention and love.
I've found someone to marry.
What? Marry?
Marry?
You've found someone?
The man I've had a crush on for 3 years.
Lee Sangu.
I threatened him by saying that I'd kill myself if he didn't marry me.
And he finally agreed.
What? He agreed?
He'll be coming to greet you soon.
Hey, Choi Hojeong...
Mom, please don't disrespect him or treat him in contempt
or despise him or hurt him in any way at all.
My goodness, Hojeong. What are you saying?
Just what kind of person do you think mom is?
How dare you...
Treat mom like some uneducated fool.
Your mom isn't like that.
I'm sorry, dad. I was just trying to be cautious...
That's so rude of you...
Did your father go home okay?
He went home after lunch and tea with me.
Did he like me?
Of course. How could he not like you?
Okay then, let's go say hi to my dad tonight.
Tonight?
I'll greet your parents officially soon.
When you said you wanted to marry me...
Do you still mean it?
Yes.
If you just need me to break up with Migyeong...
You could just use me.
What do you mean just use you?
You could just ask me to pretend to marry you.
I could do that for you.
Is that why you introduced me to your father as a friend?
If you regret it, you can just tell me now.
I don't regret it.
I'm doing this so that I won't regret it.
If it's not Migyeong then...
Does it not matter who you marry anymore?
It feels like you've given up.
Why would I give up when life is so precious?
I believe that the decisions I make each moment are my destiny.
Not everyone in this world gets married for love.
I'm using you enough as it is...
Why me? Why a guy like me?
If you can love me like this...
I don't think I'll find anyone else...
That'll love me as much as you do.
I'll need a few days to tell my parents.
My mom is really over protective of me.
Of course she would be.
Don't worry.
Welcome.
It's nice to meet you. My name is Lee Sangu, mother.
Here you go.
Hey... I know he's good looking but...
Don't stare so much. It's embarrassing.
I'm Hojeong's mom.
If our daughter threatened you, you could've just told us.
Why would you agree to marry her?
Mom, you don't need to say that...
She's just saying that. She'll never kill herself.
She's too scared to kill herself.
I can't make someone else's precious son suffer because of my daughter.
I believe I can be happy with Hojeong.
Well, I don't think that, but...
- To tell you about Hojeong... - Cut.
Let's end today's greeting here.
This is more than enough for a first meeting.
You must be busy. You can go now.
I'm sorry, Sangu.
They were good to me.
You can only imagine just how much they expect from their only daughter.
Dad's given the okay, so just wait a few days.
It won't take more than a week.
I guess you'd better go in and convince mother if it's going to be less than a week.
Okay? Okay? Why would you say okay?
Because I like him.
He's nice, plus he's a doctor.
And he's handsome at that.
Handsome... Yes, he is...
I thought I could live off of your handsome face too!
Hey, you deaf brat!
Get over here. I'm going to blow a hole in your ears.
Yes, mom. Please speak.
Just look at this brat smile.
When Jiseon and I were in 10th grade...
We wore the same uniform, we studied on the same desk...
There was nothing to separate us.
But I had poor parents so I couldn't go to university.
And I married Choi Minseok because I was poor.
But Jiseon was the daughter of an aristocrat
so she went to university, got married to an aristocrat's son...
Our lives became totally different.
It's not just for you. This concerns your children as well.
Jiseon has nothing on me if you minus the fact that her parents were rich.
I was a better student than her.
Plus I'm quite pretty.
But what's the use? No matter how hard I worked to grovel and do what I could as I raised Gyeongho...
No matter how much I do...
I'm still nothing compared to what Jiseon's got.
You said Jiseon was in a loveless marriage.
Why don't you get it?
Love is short, life is long.
Life isn't long.
- What? - When I did volunteer work...
Hayeong, the girl I was taking care of, died at 25.
Do you know what she regretted the most before she died?
The fact she hadn't received or given any love.
Love isn't important for you!
Please listen to me seriously.
What if I die after listening to you?
What?
Whether I die tomorrow or in 50 years...
I know I'm going to regret it.
"I should've married him and experienced love..."
I'll say that.
Do you want your daughter to suffer and die with regret?
My goodness...
What is this smell?
Seoyeong's making medicinal tea for Ujae.
She bought all sorts of oriental medicine.
Even dandelions to relieve fatigue.
She's giving us some too.
Women are all the same.
What does that mean?
Oh, I get it.
Wow, you really go it?
Ujae's been coming home late and drinking...
So Seoyeong's getting impatient.
I know what that feels like.
Ujae will be touched if he sees Seoyeong like that.
He'll be a fool for his wife, right?
It's my fault for hoping.
- Excuse me? - Just tell Ujae...
Not to become a fool for his wife again.
Please tell him properly.
What do you mean by that?
This is more like you.
Go and think about it as you bring out the tea.
An investigator?
Find me someone i can really trust.
What are you trying to investigate?
You should ask Seoyeong if you need someone you can trust.
Lawyers have good connections in that field.
This is about Seoyeong, isn't it?
What is it? Is Seoyeong cheating on you?
- Don't make assumptions. - So this is about Seoyeong.
It's not. Why act like you know?
The reason you can't ask a detective agency
is because they might find out your secret.
It's something that you don't want anyone to know.
Don't you trust me?
Was Lee Seoyeong the only person you could trust?
And now you've discovered something to break that trust?
That's right!
The only person that I trusted 100% was Lee Seoyeong.
Jerk...
What are you afraid of?
What is Seoyeong's secret?
Are you afraid that she'll run away if you ask her?
I want to find out who she is.
I want to confirm for myself.
Just what is going on?
I thought you'd be late drinking but you didn't drink much.
You might collapse at this rate.
Would you like a foot bath?
No... Should I fill the bath?
I bought some oriental medicine that's good for baths.
It'll completely relieve your stress.
- No thanks. - Then drink this.
Drink it after you wash.
I'll be in the study. Call me if you need anything.
Ujae, that tie doesn't match your suit.
Wear this one.
No thanks.
Okay then, just do as you please.
Hey, get changed.
What are you doing, mom?
This suitcase contains only your knitting equipment.
You don't even have a cent now.
Are you kicking me out?
Yes. If you're not going to listen, then live your own life.
What will you do?
Will you move out or give up on that guy?
I'll move out.
Then you'll never be able to set foot in this house again.
Then since you're kicking me out...
Don't say anything if I register my marriage tomorrow.
Stop acting like you're so good, you brat.
You don't scare me at all.
I saw your melodrama note.
Good bye.
See you.
From Pennsylvania school of art...
These are Designer Choi Hojeong's handmade products.
Please take a look.
Hi, please take a look.
Enjoy your meal.
Hey, bro!
Take the plate.
Are you telling me to wait till you're finished?
3 minutes.
- Just leave it outside. - Bro!
If I do that the stray cats will gather.
2 minutes.
What is this?
Does she take orders?
This looks like redwood...
- This is good quality... - Bro!
Don't touch that.
Why does a woman keep calling me bro?
You must see me as a woman, bro.
Just because you don't look it, it doesn't stop you from being a woman.
Bro, hurry and take this plate.
I have to lock up and go somewhere.
What are you doing, bro? I'm in a hurry.
Hurry with the plate.
Hurry it up, will you?
Geez, what a headache.
What a woman...
Choi Hojeong
- Yes, Hojeong. - This is Hojeong's mom.
Oh, yes, mother. How are you?
Go to the intersection in front of my house.
Then you'll know how I feel.
Mother?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- Enjoy the scarf. - Thank you.
Bye.
Hello.
How much is this?
That's not for sale.
What the?
I'm sorry. Good bye.
So much. How much is all this?
Choi Hojeong.
Sangu...
Did my mom call you?
- Did you get kicked out? - No...
Mom's just punishing me because she's angry.
Don't worry about it.
I guess I was too selfish.
Why do you say that?
Hey, are you a fool?
I used you to break up with Migyeong...
Do you really want to go this far?
What's wrong with that? I know it.
Do you want to cancel it?
I'm okay. This is fun.
I even made money.
What are you doing? How can you come here?
You agreed not to come to my work.
That's why I came at night when no one's here.
You need to give me time. How can you do this so suddenly?
Time? I've given you enough.
Who are you?
What's going on, Yeonhui?
I didn't know someone was here.
I'm Lee Yeonhui's boyfriend.
Sorry, I thought I was alone.
Let's go outside.
- I'll pay you back. - Come with me!
- You didn't keep your promise! - No, please...
- Seoyeong! - Who are you?
What do you think you're doing?
- No! - Please give me some time.
What do you want?
I'm Unique lawyer, Lee Seoyeong. You're committing a kidnapping.
I told you I'm her boyfriend.
If you're Lee Yeonhui's boyfriend, then I'm Lee Yeonhui's sister.
Let her out and show me your ID card.
I'll look up police records. If you are her boyfriend, I'll apologize.
If not, I'll call the police right away.
What are you doing, Yeonhui? Get out.
- Go. - See you tomorrow.
Are you okay?
Why don't you just mind your own business?
Why are you being intimidated by him when you're at a law firm?
How much did you borrow from the loan sharks?
Why did you go to them?
What are you on about?
That's not it.
Don't you know what happens if you deal with loan sharks?
Have you become generous now that you're a rich wife?
Or are you putting on a show to shut me up?
- Lee Yeonhui... - This isn't like you.
A rich wife helping out a common employee...
Especially when that employee ruined your life.
You think you ruined my life?
You've got it wrong.
I wasn't so weak that I'd be ruined by a simple insult.
It was just during the time I'd decided to drop out.
I dropped out and did what I want as I'd planned.
I have nothing left against you. Even if you were a stranger...
I wouldn't have stood by...
And watched you suffer what I'd suffered.
You can't handle people like that on your own.
Get some help from your father.
When I did that to you out of immaturity...
My family was just about to go bankrupt.
It was chaos.
It didn't even take a few months to become hell.
I did get a scholarship into university...
But I was a mess.
My dad's in the hospital right now.
My brother went to the loan sharks.
I thought I was being punished for doing that to you.
I always thought that.
And then we met again here.
Let's go.
Let's get something to eat.
Have some.
Here it is.
You just wanted me to look into Lee Samjae and Lee Sangu, right?
Yes.
Proof of family relations
