Melody of Love
Are you okay?
Hey.
$1,000!
You!
It was you?
But you're supposed to be fired.
Why were you putting up posters?
I'm not fired.
Thanks to you, I didn't get my money back.
What?
You should be thanking me.
Instead you're accusing me?
I didn't ask you to help me.
Why did you even jump into the fight?
I wouldn't have if I knew it was you.
Blood!
Is my tooth loose, too?
Oh no. This is bad.
It's just a little cut.
You've been the bane of my existence.
I hurt my knee and my back.
Now I might need dentures.
Why did you go to the theater?
To give me my money back?
I'm glad you brought that up.
Why didn't you show up that day?
You said you'd bring your lawyer.
And you stood me up?
Something came up that day.
I'm sure.
You lied about having a lawyer.
You knew you might owe me money.
That's why you were a no show.
When are you giving me my money?
Let's set the date.
Do you know how much it costs to get your tooth fixed?
I think mine is coming loose.
You can't ask me to forget what I'm due.
And besides, I didn't knock you out.
What?
It's nice that you helped but you owe me money.
I'll thank you if you give me $1,000.
You'd better not say that again.
You didn't show up and you lost that $1,000.
What!
That's different.
That's not how you settle debts.
It's me.
Where are you?
I'm almost at your house.
I'm on my way there.
I'll see you soon.
Let's never see each other again.
You can't leave!
We're not finished!
You slimy jerk!
Are you here to see Hyeonu?
Yes.
Hi, I'm his cousin, Yun Sanghyeon.
Hello.
It's a pleasure. I'm Gong Suim.
Why aren't you coming inside?
Hyeonu isn't here yet.
He'll be here soon. Let's go.
But...
Come in.
Hey.
Thank you for having me.
Hello. I'm Gong Suim.
Welcome.
Hyeonu said you like these flowers.
I haven't received flowers in so long.
Thank you.
Where's Hyeonu anyway?
We ran into each other out front.
Hyeonu must be running late.
He's late when we're having a guest over?
Father, Suim's here.
Oh.
This is Hyeonu's grandfather.
Hello.
Your reputation precedes you.
My name is Gong Suim.
It's a pleasure.
I didn't know we had such pretty lawyers.
That's not true, sir.
Have a seat.
- I'll bring some fruit. - Okay.
Here.
What's taking him so long?
I'm here.
The gates were open.
What took you so long?
Hey.
Hi.
You should have gotten here sooner.
Yeah.
What happened to your face?
Oh.
I had to stop a fight.
Why are you always...
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
What do you think of Suim?
She's very pretty.
You make a handsome couple.
Really?
That's an honor.
Don't.
What does your father do?
He runs a dry cleaner.
I see.
In the U.S., they're big corporations.
It's not that big.
I hear he's like a mast in his own right.
Have you met him?
No, Suim won't take me there.
You should come over more often.
I'll do so.
Have some fruit.
Suim, have some.
Thank you.
I can't. I have plans today.
With whom?
Suim's coming over for dinner.
- Let's take five. - Okay!
What are you doing here?
Hello, Nari.
I thought she was fired.
Well...
Are you done with rehearsals?
Did you bring her back again?
I'm sorry.
I told you I don't want her here.
What was she still doing here?
Am I supposed to do as you say?
Director.
I get to decide who stays and goes.
You just do your job.
Worry about your performance.
If she doesn't leave, I'll go.
Nari...
Let her go!
Taegyeong's in the worst mood ever today.
No kidding.
Maybe he's worried about our finances.
Thank you for having me.
It was my dad who invited you.
You don't seem happy that I'm here.
I was worried you'd be uncomfortable.
This isn't the most comfortable of parties.
That's okay.
Your parents were so sweet to me though.
And your mother is very beautiful.
You got your looks from her.
I hear that often. I look like her.
I don't think she likes me very much.
That doesn't matter.
It's because dad invited you.
She was only trying to be polite.
Still.
She knows we went to the same school.
She could have been more comfortable.
Why are you so worried?
You're usually always so confident.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming.
Hurry home and get some rest.
Yeah.
I have to talk to Sanghyeon so I can't take you home.
Do you think you can get home by yourself?
Yeah.
I'll call you.
Okay.
What did you think of Suim?
Hyeonu's feelings matter most.
He only thinks of her as a friend.
That's because he's a kid.
We adults have to step up.
He's not a kid.
He knows what he wants in a woman.
You didn't seem to like her that much.
I'm worried about her family.
What about her family?
If they're going to be married, we have to
think about her family and her background.
What will people think?
Don't say that.
She is much too good for Hyeonu.
How so?
What does she have that Hyeonu doesn't?
Honey.
You're strict about everything else.
Why aren't you strict about this?
What are you referring to?
I'm going to find him the perfect match.
Ask yourself what's best for Hyeonu.
Why?
Why can't he marry a rich, respectable girl?
I never said he couldn't.
I know what you meant.
I know how you feel.
I need to go clean up in the kitchen.
Did you see Suim off?
Yes.
She thinks you don't like her.
Why weren't you more easygoing with her?
She was here as your father's guest,
not your girlfriend.
That's true.
Then I did enough.
Go upstairs.
Goodnight.
Like you'd understand a word of a law book.
Seriously, I've got a headache now.
Imagine what I have to go through.
I'm already at maximum capacity.
I thought that girl was nice.
Want me to introduce you to her?
I can't do that.
Uncle invited her here because he wants you to marry her.
She's only a friend.
I don't think he sees it that way.
I decide who I want to marry.
I can't let my dad tell me what to do.
You say that now but we'll see how long you last.
Don't think I'm that weak.
Remember what I brought up last time?
I thought of introducing you to a theater.
Where is it?
It's run by my friend.
He's looking for investors to put on a new production.
It's a great little place.
I'll check my schedule.
Okay.
Are you still mad?
Who's the idiot who invented alcohol?
I only wanted to have one drink
but Juho kept telling me to have more.
You never stop at one drink.
You don't stop until you're done.
Don't be mad.
Come on now.
Don't touch my back.
Did you hurt yourself?
This fool kicked my back last night.
Who kicked you? Who?
The one I'm talking to.
Me?
I don't remember doing that.
Of course you don't.
Let's go inside.
I'm back.
- Hey. - I'm back.
How much are you getting paid?
Plenty. Just you wait.
Yeah.
My wish is to suffocate under a pile of cash,
so make my wish come true.
You bet.
I don't want you dying though, so I'll let you sit on top of that cash.
You're so good with your words.
Why were you so late?
I was invited to a friend's house for dinner.
His father is a judge and I know him well.
And what does your friend do?
He's a lawyer.
Wow, that's awesome.
Your sister's a lawyer, too.
Are you going to be their daughter in law?
Of course not.
But that's what their family must want.
Mom.
You should bring him to our house.
I'd like to see him.
Yes, I'd like to see him, too.
Okay.
Were his parents good to you?
You should have told us about this.
Why did you go there?
I thought it'd be too soon.
But you went to his house.
Are we supposed to be grateful that their family likes you?
She's going to bring him here, too.
I'm saying this isn't the right order.
I'm sorry.
Are you coming to school tomorrow?
I am.
I wonder what praise I'm in for.
You should go there more often.
His teacher will take care of him more.
I'll start doing that.
Honey.
Ho finally learned to poo on the pad.
He's really a mutt.
It took him this long to potty train?
He's better than you.
You pee in the street in your fifties.
When did I do that?
Taehui, have some fruit.
Can you make the test a little easier?
It's so hard studying grammar.
Don't you know how important Korean is?
You kids think of it so lightly.
I'm going to make this test extra hard.
Do you seriously want me to die?
Hey.
You're here.
Ho, your brother's here.
You should eat.
I already ate.
Why do you look so down?
I'm tired.
You should be happy about your job.
Yeah. I'll see you later.
What happened?
No.
Are you seeing a girl?
Uncle, I...
It's written all over your face.
I can tell it's girl trouble.
Tell me what's going on.
It's not what you think.
Don't lie to me.
Come talk to me.
Taegyeong.
What is it?
Where are you?
At home.
Oh.
Why?
Are you free tomorrow?
Want to grab some tea?
Sure.
Want to meet by the courthouse?
I think I'll be free then.
See you tomorrow.
Is that the guy you saw tonight?
No, he's my director friend.
Are you going to tell him about me?
You said you didn't want me to.
Yeah, don't. I'll tell you if I need help.
Let me know.
You're so lucky.
Why?
Everyone loves you and respects you.
What about you?
You're pretty and you have a great personality.
You know the real me.
I'm not that bad, aren't I?
Of course. You're my sister, after all.
Cheer up, Deulim.
- I'm taking a shower. - Yeah.
Hey.
Where's the administrator's office?
Upstairs.
Shouldn't she be studying?
I hate it when kids don't pay attention.
You...
I saw you somewhere.
You're the woman from the market.
What are you doing?
You can't run like that!
You're supposed to walk on the right side.
What are you doing here?
I'm cleaning.
Are you a janitor here?
What?
I am sometimes.
I clean the kids and the floor.
What are you doing here?
That's none of your business.
Don't act like you know me.
The same goes to you.
I have to go.
He's walking around with a broom at that age?
What a pity.
Ow, my back...
He sure does have strong arms.
What's wrong with me?
How may I help you?
Hello.
I'm here to meet the 8th grade teacher, Class 2.
Where is he?
He's the one making copies over there.
What's going on?
That's him?
He's Seonghun's homeroom teacher?
No, this can't be...
[Seonghun's Teacher]
Hello?
Hello, I'm Seonghun's teacher.
Yes.
What time will you be arriving?
Actually, something came up.
Again?
Can you come to the school or not?
I have to.
I really wanted to go today
but things didn't work out.
I'm really busy. I have to go.
Oh no.
Hello? Ma'am?
Mother, Jinsun will do that later so go rest.
I have to keep myself occupied.
I'm too upset to sit still.
Don't worry about Jeongja.
She'll think of going back to her husband
once she's had the chance to think.
Don't you know how her temper is?
She wouldn't have left him in the first place if it were that easy.
I wish I can die in my sleep.
Don't say that.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello, Mrs. Han!
Hello.
You forgot to pick up the laundry after you had those drinks at our house.
Thank you.
- I'll take those. - Yes.
How do you feel?
Fine.
I hear you treated my son so well.
That was so nice of you.
Don't mention it.
Where's Jinsun?
That's all we have.
Why did you come by?
I came with the laundry.
And also to discuss next week's activity.
I asked her to stay for tea because she was a good host to Jeongnam.
How are things at home?
We're happy with everything.
My son is going to stage a huge production this time.
You must have no worries.
You must be so concerned.
I'm sorry?
I heard that your daughter had another...
Jeongnam told you that?
He's very close to my husband.
He didn't have to say that.
He must have been so upset.
Yes, he sounded very upset.
You should comfort him.
He loves his sister so.
How do you know our family so well?
I'm just worried about your family.
Thank you.
Where are we going next week?
I saw two places we can volunteer at but I'm trying to decide.
I don't care where we go so you and the others can decide.
Don't you have to go home for dinner?
Oh. Right.
Thank you for the coffee.
Don't mention it.
I'm sorry we couldn't offer more.
That's all right. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
I left out the whipping cream and syrup.
You know what I like.
I remember everything about you.
That's an honor.
Aren't you busy with work though?
What brings you here?
I came out to get some air.
I thought I'd come see you.
Good.
I have a headache from reading briefs all day so it's nice to have some tea.
I heard you went to Hyeonu's place.
I guess he told you.
His father invited me to dinner.
Oh.
What was it like? Did you have fun?
I was so nervous.
I didn't even notice I was eating.
He must like you. He invited you over.
Hyeonu and I work in the same field so he was just trying to be nice.
You know how Hyeonu can be like a baby.
He can be like that.
Did his dad mention anything else?
What do you mean?
Nothing...
Come to our house, too.
I went over last time.
That was when you were a college student.
My dad wants to see you, too.
Yeah.
He was so good to my dad last night but I didn't get to thank him.
Why don't we set a date?
Make it after your musical is over.
You must be busy these days.
I can always make time for you.
You should worry about your production.
What is that?
It's a bed for the puppy.
What?
I told you to get rid of that dog!
He's my little baby.
Ho, where are you?
I bought you a bed.
He's not potty trained at all.
I put him in the bathroom.
What? You did what?
How could you be so cruel?
I had to clean up after his poop!
Don't you go to the bathroom?
His poo smells better than yours!
Ho!
I'm home.
Hey.
You seem to be in a better mood.
I'm always in a good mood.
Time to eat.
Did you meet Suim?
We had tea nearby.
You should bring her over.
I'm going to, after my show is over.
I heard she's a lawyer.
Isn't she out of your league?
She's not out of his league.
I'm so confused.
I don't think Suim's right for Taegyeong.
Why?
Her family is so poor and her aunt got divorced not once, but twice!
Family is important in a marriage.
I get to decide, mom.
It's a union between families.
This one's never even been married,
and she's gotten divorced twice already!
We all have our own walks in life.
What if you end up with a girl like that?
He's never been married.
He can't marry a girl who's divorced twice.
Of course.
Who would want to marry a woman like that?
It's ridiculous.
You shouldn't say that about someone you don't even know.
What are you doing there?
Honey, how are you?
Why did you come here?
Get out of here!
We need to talk.
I want to see Jina and your mother.
Don't make me laugh.
Your mother in law is at that hussy's house.
Hey!
Mother, how are you?
Why didn't you come inside?
Come in.
No way!
Get out of here!
Honey! Listen to me.
Jeongja.
I think I heard daddy's voice.
Was that daddy?
No, he was a passing stranger.
I thought it was dad and mom.
You must be hungry.
Let's go inside.
Have some coffee.
Give me child's support.
Is that all you care about?
What more is left between us?
There's more than money.
We have Jina. Our daughter.
You can't even afford child support but you want to be her father?
Jeongja. Honey.
Can't you forgive me?
I'm sorry about what I did.
Do you know why I married you?
I didn't think you'd betray me for another woman.
You promised me you'd be loyal, even if you can't make me rich.
There's a misunderstanding.
You're going to lie to me?
Not only did you cheat on me but you played me for a fool.
I'm not getting back together with you so give me my child's support.
Honey!
Ugh!
Hyeonu.
Suim, what is it?
I got off work early so I stopped by.
You've been coming here so often.
Hello. You're right.
Are you here to spy on us?
Of course not.
Our firms are competing over a few cases.
Don't let her pretty looks fool you.
Who are you talking about?
Well then, have fun.
I'll see you later.
Let's go.
Want some coffee?
Yeah.
Have a seat.
Did you want to say something?
I was wondering what your parents said.
Really?
Why would they say anything bad about you?
My mom wants to see you, too.
Okay.
Taegyeong and I can come over.
That's not what I meant...
Hold on.
Sanghyeon.
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Do you have plans?
Remember my cousin Sanghyeon?
He might invest in Taegyeong's company.
Really? I hope it goes well.
Do you want to go have dinner with us?
It's about work thought.
Tell Taegyeong I wish him well.
Okay.
I put up the posters.
I think you have to quit.
Min.
Nari is threatening not to go on stage and
you got in trouble with our director.
How are you going to stay here?
I'm fine.
I'll clean.
- Hyeonu. - Taegyeong.
This is my cousin.
I'm Yun Sanghyeon.
Hello, I'm Han Taegyeong.
He told me you're a promising young director.
He's always been a big liar.
Come. Our producer is waiting.
Yes.
That poor thing...
What is it?
Nothing. Let's go.
This is what we've worked on.
They're all your own creations?
We're very proud about that.
I like that you're special like that but aren't imports the big trend these days?
Originals are finding less and less room.
If we give up though, Korean performing arts won't have a future.
I was only trying to talk as an investor.
I don't think this is my kind of direction.
Why don't you see the production first?
It's going to start soon.
I have plans.
I'll come by and see it later.
What do you think?
The director seems really stubborn.
He has to have his own principles.
You can put your faith in this company.
I'm an investor, not a patron.
You're being so picky.
Give it some more thought.
Yeah.
I have plans. I should go.
- Bye. - Bye.
I know we'll meet someday...
You'll shine your light on me
When I close my eyes and reach out for
Your hand, your light will shine on me

A good investment has to have a return.
I'm not much of a businessman.
What does it mean to like someone?
What about me?
Maybe you two got close that way.
Close?
I don't care what my parents say.
I should ask myself what my dream is.
I've always done what you asked.
You can't take away my memories, too!
What!
