Vice president.
Please talk down to me.
Why should I do that?
Because...
I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself to you earlier.
Vice president...
Have you ever thought about killing yourself?
No.
Then...
Have you ever...
Have you ever asked anyone to save you?
Last time when we came here...
You asked me to tell you how I had lived until now.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
I...
I took my children's enrollment fees and gambled it away.
My wife...
I let her die while being operated on.
I was on the run because I was in debt.
I ran away to Jeju-do.
I gained debts in Jeju-do too.
I think...
I paid it off with the $10,000 my daughter had saved.
Then...
Is that about Seoyeong?
I'm telling you my story. Don't ask any questions.
I'm just going to tell you my story and leave.
That's not all.
My daughter was the top student in her school in the 12th grade.
I made her drop out of school.
And I made her deliver Chinese food.
Why are you such a good bike rider?
I dropped out of school in the 12th grade.
I learnt to ride a bike so I could deliver Chinese food.
The money she earned making deliveries...
She spent it on her brother.
She put him through medical school.
Let's see. Before that...
After the Asian Financial Crisis and until 3 years ago...
I was conned by my business partner. I went bankrupt several times.
I borrowed from loan sharks too.
3 years ago in the summer...
I worked at an adult night club.
I was a waiter who took care of middle aged women.
I danced so they'd pay me tips.
While I lived like that...
My daughter...
She lived at a sauna.
She was kicked out of school for unpaid fees and missed her school trip.
But...
She earned money and paid for university herself.
She's really tough, isn't she?
Then when I'd cause trouble again...
She's such a fool.
She would take out her enrollment fee and rest for a semester.
She and my wife paid for my debts.
Other children...
They would've left a long time ago.
But...
That determined girl...
Which winter was it?
I don't remember now.
Anyway, it was in winter.
She brought $4,200. She had saved it to pay for her fees.
She told me to pay my debts with it and this is what she said...
"Dad.
Save me."
Save me?
She said she couldn't take it anymore.
She asked me to save her.
She asked me to come to my senses.
But I...
I went to Jeju-do and gambled.
If...
If she hadn't run away from me...
I would've taken all her money.
She would've been the living dead.
I...
I saved you from danger.
But that doesn't make me a just or well mannered man.
I guess...
You've had an abundant life.
You only see things according to your standards.
That's all I have to tell you.
I'll leave you now.
Wait a minute.
I...
I didn't come to ask you for a favor.
I'm...
I'm not qualified to ask you that.
But.
Because of me...
I don't want you to misunderstand her.
When she was young...
When I drank soju...
We'd eat sea eel together.
She would drink lemonade and be my drinking buddy.
She was really sweet...
My Seoyeong.
But do you know this?
Your personality really makes people have no other choice.
I don't need excuses. Where's my bike?
It was urgent. I got off at the airport...
You!
You stole it in front of my very eyes.
I chased after you and you ran away!
Even if you tell me that your mom died, I won't believe you!
How do people live like that?
Seoyeong doesn't even have $1 in her purse.
I tried to stop her from going to be a live in tutor.
She told me this.
At least she could eat 3 square meals.
So come with me. Let's go to the U.S.
I was shaken up by you.
But...
I don't want to go with you.
Please go.
I need money.
If you go, I can keep tutoring.
I told you!
I can't go without you.
What's your father's profession?
What does he do for a living?
My father...
He passed away.
Why didn't you believe me when I said I didn't want to go?
I told you I'd take care of it!
Why didn't you just stay quiet in front of your parents?
That Seoyeong that you know...
That's not entirely me.
But one day...
If you discover a side of me that you didn't know...
Understand that I had no other choice.
You asked me last time, right?
The reason why I married you.
Because I wanted to be happy.
But you!
Were you even worth it?
If only you didn't do that...
I could've hung in there.
Kang Ujae...
If only it weren't you.
My daughter...
I want her to have a reliable older brother like you, Ujae.
The youngest child and the only daughter...
I want her to grow up spoiled.
♫ My heart keeps making me cry ♫
♫ Are you looking at me? ♫
♫ Are you looking at my heart? ♫
♫ I keep holding it in over and over but it hurts like crazy. ♫
♫ I've tossed it aside and erased it again, ♫
♫ But I've returned to the same place. ♫
♫ Come back and hold me, just like that time ♫
Mr. Lee...
Ms. Bang, is it okay if I stay here?
I guess you have nowhere else to go.
Make sure you lock the doors.
Mister!
Could I please have some salt?
Salt? Okay, salt...
Goodness. Look at her.
Hello.
Are you running a marathon in the middle of the night?
I want to boil some chicken for my father in law.
I ran out of salt.
If it's for him, don't bother running a marathon.
Excuse me?
I made him work late tonight.
You can't do that...
Why not? I'm the boss.
Should I take it to him?
Poor father.
He must be so sad.
Sangu too.
I can marry any other woman in the world.
But not Migyeong.
Migyeong...
What must I do for her to give up?
It was because of his sister.
That's why he broke up with Migyeong.
He broke up with her to save his sister's marriage.
But she broke up with her husband.
My brother and your sister...
If we known that they'd break up this quickly...
You wouldn't have had to marry Hojeong.
I didn't know this would happen.
Lee Sangu!
Migyeong...
Oh, no.
Mom...
Sangu
Hello?
Hojeong, sorry. I'm going to be late.
Late?
Go ahead and have dinner. I'll tell you when I get home.
Alright...
You only live once.
Even if it was the wrong choice...
Is it okay to live the rest of your life with someone you don't love?
Hojeong didn't do anything wrong.
So why did you marry her?
At the time...
I had no other choice.
Don't be like that, Sangu.
Let's...
Let's start over.
No... No way.
That's ridiculous.
Sangu and Migyeong aren't the type to do that.
No way.
Don't be silly, Choi Hojeong.
Still...
They're not over each other yet.
Sangu.
What are you doing in the dark?
How did you know I was here?
You didn't answer my calls so I called your boss.
You should've waited until I came home.
I met Seoyeong today.
Did you?
What did Seoyeong say?
Seoyeong's found a house to live in.
She's found a house already?
Dad.
Just let Seoyeong do whatever she wants to do for now.
She'll call once she's had time to think it over.
Alright.
Okay then.
Twist your body to the left.
2, 3, 4, 5.
Here, dad.
Thanks.
That's so refreshing.
It's great to be able to do this without having to be cautious.
Dad.
Everyone lives their lives differently.
Third parties shouldn't get involved in relationships.
I don't think anyone has the right to tell you what to do.
What are you talking about?
Even though you're my parents...
I don't want to get in the middle of your fight.
Yes, I know that.
I don't intend to stay here long.
It's going to be a long fight. It's too obvious if I stay here.
Who's here at this hour?
Gosh.
Dad, I think you've been found already.
Tell her that I'm not here! I'm not here.
Dad!
Tell your father to come out.
He's not home yet.
I guess he's living life to the fullest.
Tell Choi Minseok to sign this.
What is this?
He can sign it then move out and live comfortably forever.
He'll come back once he sees the divorce papers.
He could end up jobless and without a family.
I can sleep in peace from tomorrow.
I need him to be my neighborhood watch at least.
What time is it?
Consensual divorce form
Choi Minseok Kim Gangsun
When did he leave this here?
How dare he?
You said he wasn't here.
Then what's this?
When did he come home, sign this and leave it by my side?
I gave it to him last night and he packed his things then left.
What?
I guess he dropped by your house.
How dare you?
How could you sleep after giving your father divorce papers?
You should've stopped him.
Instead you bid him farewell and go to sleep!
Couples get divorced, not divorce papers.
If you didn't live here, he wouldn't have left.
He's not the type to think about leaving home.
You're supposed to be his son.
Did you come back to Korea to get your father divorced?
Did you move in here to greet your father after he left home?
Excuse me...
You're the one that wanted me to move out.
One more thing, mom.
Dad didn't tell me where he was going.
What?
So I don't know where he's gone.
You don't know?
You really don't know?
He said I would end up telling you if I knew.
He said to call him when you go to court.
Who are you?
Hi!
Kids!
Hello!
I'm going to stay with you from today.
I'm rookie actor, Choi Minseok.
Let's try to get along!
Everyone, be happy!
Let's go to sleep.
Good night.
Dad.
Did you tell Haesan Group about me?
Yes, two days ago.
I spoke about you during dinner with President Jang.
He wanted to see you when he went to inspect the hospital.
Did he visit already?
Why didn't you tell me in advance?
He showed up all of a sudden at the hospital.
He said hello to me. It put me in a difficult situation.
Your wedding rank will fall when people find out about Ujae's divorce.
You should get engaged before then.
Dad, I told you.
I don't want an arranged marriage!
Why haven't you met any men until now?
You've had your chance over the past 10 years.
You had enough time to enjoy dating.
You gave me a chance?
That's why I let you pretend to be an orphan.
Did you think I'd let you marry anyone that you liked?
What if I really loved him?
Love is unproductive and short lived.
Look at your big brother.
Hurry up and sign your divorce paper.
Before I demand that Seoyeong pay alimony for a fraudulent marriage!
I'm going to work now.
Where's Seongjae?
Excuse me, where's Seongjae?
He went out at dawn.
At dawn?
Okay, standby!
Action!
- I'm sorry. - It hurts. Let go.
- I said I'm sorry. - Let go.
Hey, you.
Hello.
Your shoot is in the afternoon. Why are you here already?
I came early to get a feel for the set.
Really?
Hello?
Mom
Yes, mom.
Seongjae, where did you go so early?
Oh, I'm...
Cut!
Make sure people don't trespass.
What's that noise? Where are you?
Mom, I'm at a shoot. I'll call you later.
Sorry. We're shooting right now.
Can't I watch?
You can watch over here.
At a shoot?
What does he mean by that?
Mom, I had a drama audition. They said I'm an acting genius.
I'm hungry.
I'm going to the convenience store. Dr. Park, do you want rice rolls?
It's alright.
It's not like you to refuse food.
How about you, Dr. Kim?
No thanks.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Of course something happened.
You collected $2 or $3 a day.
You collected every last cent of change.
Now we find out you're the only daughter of WINNERS!
Kang Migyeong, you lent me $50 or $100 every month to pay my card bill.
I paid you interest with spicy rice cakes. What were you thinking?
- Dr. Park. - You!
You played with us.
It's not like that.
- That's not it. - That is it, Dr. Kang.
When I bought a used car...
You were so jealous of me.
You weren't jealous. You were just ridiculing me.
No, I meant it. It's the truth.
The truth of Cinderella?
You pretend to be an orphan outside. Are you a princess at home?
I just wanted people to feel comfortable around me.
You tricked everyone so your life would be more comfortable?
Good for you.
Kang Migyeong.
I heard what they said. What happened?
Lee Sangu.
What do I do now?
I didn't mean for this.
You should apologize first.
Begin with those close to you.
No one's going to listen to my excuses.
Didn't you expect this situation?
I didn't have any bad intentions.
No one cares about other people's intentions...
What are you going to do about WINNERS?
I'll speak to Ujae before the meeting the decide.
CEO, vice president of WINNERS, Kang Ujae is here.
Tell him to come in.
You go outside.
Why is Ujae here?
Sorry to come here so early but I wanted to ask you something.
It's alright. Please have a seat.
No... There's no need for that.
Did Seoyeong tell you where she's going when she resigned?
No, she didn't say anything.
Did she have any close friends at this law firm?
Unfortunately...
She wasn't close to anyone.
I see.
Ujae!
Ujae, we need to talk.
I have no reason to talk to you outside the office.
Ujae.
Give me a chance to explain.
It was wrong of me to not tell you first.
But I had to speak about it in front of your mother.
You had to find out too.
I'm not angry with you because you didn't tell me first.
I already knew about it.
You... You knew?
I knew.
How could you...
Why do you think I couldn't tell Seoyeong or my parents even though I knew?
I don't know anything about her.
Lee Sangu
It's Kang Ujae. I'm waiting for you in the resting area.
So...
We meet like this.
Firstly...
I'm sorry to introduce myself so late and in this manner.
I'm sorry...
I'm also sorry that I haven't thanked you until now.
I should apologize to you because of my sister.
I'm a little shocked.
You had to avoid me...
You had to stop seeing Migyeong...
You couldn't tell anyone...
Not even Seoyeong. I'm sorry to have put you through that.
I couldn't take control at the time.
I didn't break up with Migyeong for you.
I met your father.
You met my father?
After I found out about Seoyeong...
I couldn't find any answers and your father provided me with them.
Things I could never have imagined by myself.
He told me everything.
How much did dad tell you?
Everything.
I want to meet Seoyeong but I don't know where she is.
She won't answer my calls.
What are you going to tell her?
I want to apologize for judging her based on my standards.
I need to make things up to her.
You fully understand my sister then?
You understand her...
So you think forgiving her will solve everything?
I'm sorry but...
I want you to leave her alone.
What did you just say?
During the 3 years she was married...
She was never happy.
I know that. Because of guilt.
She won't be happy in the future either.
Things are different now. I understand her.
With your head but that isn't fully understanding her.
You just think you understand her.
People...
Have limitations in imagining things they don't experience themselves.
It was the same for me.
I couldn't let go of Migyeong easily after finding out who she was.
Only then did I understand why Seoyeong chose you.
Especially in the case of you and Seoyeong.
It's worse when you grow up in totally different environments.
People can't experience everything for themselves.
I've understood her with my heart, not my head.
Your understanding...
I don't think that will make Seoyeong happy anymore.
Even if you forgive her...
It doesn't make Seoyeong's actions disappear.
Then Seoyeong will forever live like a sinner.
I think you know that too.
I'm sorry.
I know I'm not qualified to say this.
But if she doesn't want to return...
Please let her go.
If you love films...
If you love music...
Hello.
- Let's get our nails done... - Let's get our hair done too...
Your personality really makes people have no other choice.
I have to go but I can't go without you.
So come with me.
Let's go to the U.S.
I'll work at the company.
But only if you let me marry Seoyeong.
You really don't need me then?
I've done my best but if I'm not good enough for you...
I'm going to the U.S.
If you have any regrets, I thought I might let it go this time.
That's why I came.
Yes, I made you come here.
I can't live in debt.
Seoyeong...
During the 3 years she was married... She was never happy.
You've never gotten mad at me during the 3 years we've been married.
You've never gotten upset or even frustrated with me.
Sometimes... How should I put it?
You seem obsessed with being happy.
For that, I fooled myself for 3 years.
It was hard and I regretted it.
I don't want to go back to that life ever again.
We're going to shoot now.
Okay, standby.
Action!
Lee Mincheol, when did you lose your mother?
When I was six... I chased after a disinfection vehicle.
I see.
Is there anything that you want to say to your mother?
Mom...
I'm... Sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Cut!
Hey, you fool! Are you reading a book?
I'm sorry!
Try again from "Mom. I'm sorry."
Standby.
Action!
Mom... I'm sorry.
- I'm really sorry. - Cut!
That's enough. Move on to Gwinam's scene.
Director, let me try just once more.
Forget it. Move out.
Are you afraid of the camera?
I thought I'd gotten over it.
- Just a minute. - No.
- It will only take a minute. - I said no.
- Just briefly. - I said no.
Seongjae...
Just a minute...
Are you crazy? Why would you come here?
How did you know that I'd be here?
You wouldn't call me so I asked the agency.
Agency?
Who are you to ask the agency about my schedule?
Why do you want to meet me?
You're driving me crazy.
Seongjae...
You could listen to me at least once.
What do you want from me?
Mom?
How are you? Okay?
The CEO's wife is good to you, right?
It's my house and she's my mom.
That's a relief.
I said it's my house and she's my mom.
I know.
I know she's a good woman.
That's why I sent you there.
Now that I know you're happy...
I won't ask you to live with me again.
But please meet me once in a while.
I...
I don't want to meet you.
I...
Once a month, since you were in elementary school...
I prepared a meal plan for your health.
You would manage the company one day with your brother.
So I went to night school and majored in secretarial services.
I did my best to serve the CEO.
I didn't have any other intentions.
I only lived for you, Seongjae.
I was always your mom.
But I've resigned from the company now. I can't see you anymore.
But I can't live without seeing you.
You may want to deny it but I'm the one who gave birth to you.
But...
You don't have to call me mom.
Just show me your face...
Just your face.
Just show me your face once a month.
Jiseon, come to the dinner for the 12th group of students.
If you come, you can see something really entertaining.
The 12th group member of The Sharp Academy who have met this winter...
Welcome.
We remember people we met in winter when it snows.
This is fake snow.
Like the fragile relationships that exist around us.
But like real snow...
Some relationships are beautiful.
But at times, people...
Turn beautiful relationships into an obsession that they hold on to.
They forget that snow melts when you hold on to it.
When the relationship is beautiful, do not try to own that person.
Sometimes you should just let go...
To create a beautiful relationship.
What do we mean to each other?
That's all from me, magician Bae Yeongtaek.
Mother...
You rotten fool!
Why do you keep speaking formally to me?
I've been so preoccupied these days.
I didn't have time to take care of you.
Why are you so wary around me?
I wasn't wary of you.
Because I feel bad.
Come and sit down.
Seongjae.
Tell me the truth.
Okay.
Do you want to go to your real mom?
Mom, I...
I'm just your son.
But blood is thicker than water.
You can do as you like.
Mom!
But first...
You're my son.
There's no doubt about it. You are my son.
You...
You are my son.
But you...
You can have two moms.
You're my youngest. You have such a soft heart.
I don't want you to be careful around me. It makes me feel terrible.
I want you to be confident again.
I want you to live the way you used to.
I may tell white lies but you know that I never tell big lies.
Even when you tell white lies...
It's really obvious.
Then...
Let's do that.
You're home.
Yes.
What were you doing?
I was wiping the table...
It's clean.
No, I have to keep wiping it.
Stop wiping the table and let's go out for dinner.
Out? For dinner?
No thanks. I already ate.
You did?
Already? Alone?
Yes, I was hungry so I ate.
It's cold. I don't want to go out.
I wanted to speak to you over dinner.
Let's...
Break up.
I have a headache.
What's wrong?
It's just a chronic migraine.
I need to rest. Take care of dinner yourself.
It must be because it was empty. There's so much dust here.
I think we just need to mop once more.
We need to buy desks and furniture.
We can do that in a few days when the interior decoration begins.
Kang Ujae
Let's finish up. I'm hungry.
Okay.
You said to contact you once I have the papers ready.
What's up?
Are you free now?
Where should I meet you?
You're early.
Have you been well?
Cafe mocha, please.
Not Americano?
Sometimes I crave sweet things.
Order. She's waiting.
I'm sorry.
I'll have an Americano.
Okay.
I came here to take care of the papers.
Can we talk while she's making the coffee?
We...
We lived without knowing each other.
I knew you'd leave once you got caught.
But not like this.
I thought you'd want to explain yourself. I thought you'd do that before leaving.
I didn't come here to talk about this.
You don't need to make any excuses. Do you want to start over?
I can convince my parents. I won't ask you anything.
Please don't do that.
Whatever the reason...
I was wrong.
You and your family...
It's true that I hurt you all.
The last 3 years for me...
I don't ever want to go back.
I don't have those feelings for you anymore, Ujae.
Human are so selfish.
The bad memories take over the good ones.
So now...
Please stop.
Is that what you really want?
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Then let's do that.
Let's break up.
Let's end it here.
What happened? Why aren't you filing for divorce?
Has Seoyeong gone hiding?
Is she trying to avoid divorce?
No.
We're going to court today.
