Wait...
Will I be able to see you again before you leave?
I'll visit before I leave.
Good, good.
Is there anything I can help with?
Oh, right. You can take good care of yourself.
What could I do for you?
Okay.
Goodbye.
Why do you make such a sad face?
Why be like that?
It's you, Seoyeong.
Please stay like this for a while.
I can stay like this forever.
But only if you won't say you'll leave me once I turn around.
Let's go tell your parents.
Let's do it...
Being together till we die.
What do you mean overseas?
Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?
She says she wants to study further.
International law or something.
What study?
Why would she, when she's taking the bar next year?
Why didn't he tell me first?
I want to avoid dad. I want to escape to somewhere he doesn't exist.
Seoyeong
I'll visit you at school tomorrow morning.
Hey, Lee Seoyeong. What's going on?
Have you had breakfast? You haven't, right?
Speak first.
Let's go and eat something nice.
Just what is going on?
You were shocked, right?
Tell me honestly.
Are you really going overseas?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
So you said that to avoid dad for a while.
No.
I'm getting married, Sangu.
Married?
I'm going to get married.
Married...
What do you mean married?
Why all of a sudden? With who?
The guy you told me about last time?
Then why did you tell dad that you're going overseas?
Are you thinking...
Hey, Lee Seoyeong... Are you really...
I told them that dad was dead.
What?
Are you crazy?
No matter that the reason, how could you say that your father is dead?
We were going to break up anyway. I didn't want to tell them about dad.
I didn't think I could handle the humiliation and scorn
if I had told them the truth.
I wasn't even dreaming of marrying him then.
But you're getting married now.
That's what happened.
Let's just say that was the case back then.
Let's say that's how you felt because you broke up.
But still you're thinking of disowning your father and getting married!
How can a human... How can you do this?
I didn't want to lose the one person that could make me happy because of dad.
Why would you lose them? Just confess and beg for forgiveness.
You said he's desperately in love with you.
Sangu, I was going to...
I was going to tell him that I'd lied.
That my father was actually alive
and that he'd lived a certain life.
I was going to say that I'd lied because I was embarrassed that he was working at a night club.
I was going to but I couldn't.
You can tell him now then.
It's too late.
So you're asking me to come to your wedding
and pretend that our father is dead?
You want me to meet my brother-in-law and his family?
Please...
There is no other way.
Hey, Lee Seoyeong! Make some sense!
If you don't come... What do I say about you?
Do I say that I don't even have a brother?
I can't do that.
You've said that you don't have a father.
Why can't you say that you don't have a brother?
You're different to dad.
You know that.
You're my brother.
Yeah, I know how you feel.
But sis...
I can't do that.
Sangu...
You're really something...
How could you do this for a guy?
Is that guy really that great?
He made me smile.
He made my heart beat again.
He comforted me.
He healed my scars.
He worried about me more than I did.
It's the first time I realized that I could rely completely on somebody else.
Completely?
If he's that good... If he's that great...
He's understand why you had to lie.
Don't tell me to confess it to him.
Even if I give up on him, I can't say it.
Then tell them I'm dead too!
I haven't experienced such a great love as you have so I can't understand.
If you want to lie to dad to get married...
Tell them I'm dead or whatever you want and get married.
Sangu...
Seongjae's brother
Mommy!
What's wrong?
I was just checking because it seemed like you'd forgotten I existed.
You sent me away saying you wanted to be alone yesterday.
And you don't pick up the phone today.
I can go around pretending that I'm all that,
but I can't stand being ignored.
Lee Seoyeong.
Do I even have the right to ask where you've been since the early morning?
What's the reason you've been waiting for me here since the early morning?
I made a plan to have a proper date before we met my parents.
It got ruined because of you.
You're not in a good mood.
Want me to leave?
I want to breathe in some cold, fresh air.
Lie down.
What is this?
A break from everyday life.
I discovered this place when I visited Korea and often came alone.
Just embrace yourself in the forest, let everything go and rest.
You can read until you get sleepy and have a nap as well.
Must you read that now?
You told me to read.
And since when did you listen to me so well.
This is nice.
Let's close our eyes and rest.
Thanking for taking the courage, Lee Seoyeong.
Are you confident that you'll never regret giving up on film?
Who says I gave up on film?
I'm going to grow the company and set up a subsidiary film production company.
You know I can't just do things without benefiting from them.
Looks like I won't be as burdened then.
There was something of dad's words that stuck with me.
Taking care of the lives of 10,000 people.
I realized that it was a job worth taking on.
Really?
I've really had no interest in other people's lives so far.
I just didn't like the atmosphere at home.
I never knew of the amazing benefit that I'd received from it.
It was just expected.
I've learnt about life and how to think about others thanks to you.
I thought I was the best.
You made me realize that other people deserve the same respect as I do.
Your pride pierced me and made me realize that.
What you know about me isn't everything.
No one can know everything about someone else.
You grow to learn about them.
But one day...
Even if you discover something about me that's not a part of who you think I am...
Please understand that it couldn't be helped.
I'd better write in my journal.
Today, Seoyeong called me Ujae for the first time today.
She told me what she wanted to do for the first time.
That she wanted to breathe in cold, fresh air.
Why are you being like a kid?
Where's my journal?
Where are you going? To get my journal and coffee.
Did you go to buy coffee?
Did you really think I'd gone to get my journal?
Here.
I felt like coffee.
Lee Seoyeong, who finally calls me by name and tells me what she wants to do...
I'd better speak some words I couldn't, because I was too busy chasing after you...
I love you.
You've awakened me and I love you.
What do you mean by a college of music?
You know how much I hate playing the harp.
You said I didn't need to do it once I graduated.
That was only because you agreed to get married once you graduated.
But you're not ready at heart to get married.
But still...
Go to where Gyeongho is. I'll put in the word.
Gyeongho? I don't want to!
Gyeongho's so scary.
If you must, send me elsewhere.
Blood relations, no matter how thin, are better than nothing.
- But he's... - Be quiet!
Mom, I'll go on an arranged date.
And pigs might fly.
I'm going to book your flight right away. Got that?
Mom...
Hojeong
What's going on? You never call your father.
Dad, dad, dad... Please save me!
Mom's sending me overseas to study.
Overseas?
Yes. Dad, please stop mom.
You're the only person that can save me.
Okay! Don't you worry.
Has Hojeong fallen madly in love and eloped?
Did she make a deal to get married like Ujae?
You can do that when you're young.
Does it make sense to send her overseas because she has a crush?
No way!
A crush? Huh?
What do you know about her to even talk?
She's my daughter.
Doesn't a father even have that right when it involves my daughter's future?
Do you know that Hojeong eats one thing for 3 months and 10 days
if she gets fixated on a certain food?
Oh, stop it. As if she does that for 3 months and 10 days.
When she was 7,
she got hooked on the red bean jelly you brought back from Japan.
She broke open her piggy bank and bought that without me knowing.
She ate it till all her baby teeth rot. You didn't know that, did you?
I did know about her teeth rotting...
Do you know that she was ostracized because
she couldn't talk properly until her permanent teeth grew out?
Do you know how much money we spent moving her to a private school because of that?
You wanted to send her to a private school from the beginning...
Do you know that I secretly worked as a housekeeper to pay for her school fees?
Did you?
Hojeong is a girl that will never forget that guy so long as she's within reach of him.
I'm doing this because I don't want to end up like Jiseon,
so mind your own business and go have your dinner.
-As if I could eat now. -Then go eat your bean rice cakes.
I bought the kind that you like.
I like baked rice cakes.
Anyway, sending her overseas is going too far!
I'll talk to her, just leave it to me.
When my mother cried and tried to stop me...
I jumped the fence and went to you.
So what if he's been widowed. So what if he has a 6-year-old kid.
I said I could raise her like my own.
Hojeong and I are like twins.
Who do you think would be most saddened by seeing Hojeong go to the U.S.?
It's me. Me, Kim Gangsun.
What on earth is she thinking?
Goodnight, Lee Seoyeong.
Don't look at him!
Don't be wary about getting caught with me.
I'm sorry.
What are you thinking?
For what reason are you staying still?
I told you. I can't tell him.
Just because you tell him you lied about dad, he won't stop loving you...
And if he does, then you're not meant to be.
- He won't do that. - Then?
Is his family that great?
You think they won't permit your marriage if they find out about our circumstances?
- Is that why? - It's not like that, Sangu.
Then why can't you tell him?
Why? Why? Why?
That's what I thought in the beginning.
There's no way they'd permit it.
Actually, I didn't even want to get that permission.
So long as I'm our father's daughter...
Up until the marriage, even after the marriage and the rest of my life....
I knew how I would be judged by that family and the people around them.
I didn't want to do that. I tried not to do that.
I didn't think that I needed him so badly that I needed to do that.
So just tell him that's why you lied.
I broke up with him so that I wouldn't have to say that.
What?
I didn't want to tell him about dad, so I gave up.
If I have to say that now, I have to give up on him again.
I don't want to do that.
I don't want to lose the one chance I have of happiness in this life
that's been destroyed by dad...
Sis...
Still you can't do that.
He's our father.
You're disowning our father.
I had to give up so much because of dad.
University, school trips, even my dreams.
I had to give up on my desires, my happiness and my freedom because of dad.
Must I give up on this as well?
He's the first man I've sincerely loved in my life.
I want to spend he rest of my life with him
Must I again because of dad?
Why must I do that again?
I don't want to give him up.
Okay.
Our father...
I was sickened by him too.
I hated and resented him.
Just like you.
But still... Do you know what doesn't change?
The fact that he's our father.
He's my father.
I'm his son.
You're his daughter.
So what?
- What? - So you have to love your father?
I didn't even choose him to be my father. Do I have to love him unconditionally?
I'd love him if he deserved my love!
Sis...
I wouldn't have taken any of your help and money if you were going to be like this.
If it was this hard for you then why?
Why did you sacrifice so much for me?
If you hadn't, it wouldn't have been this bad.
No, Sangu.
I'm not being like this because of what I sacrificed for you.
I've never thought that it was a sacrifice.
I know you, Sis.
I know you'll suffer.
You're someone who won't be able to find happiness when you suffer.
I've thought hundreds of times that it would be better if he didn't exist.
I can live fine thinking that he doesn't.
Then what about me?
Are you going to tell them that I'm dead too?
Are you going to say that your brother doesn't exist as well?
I would never do that.
You should never do what you're doing now.
I can't pretend to be your brother whilst disowning dad.
Please just help me this once, Sangu.
I've never taken any help from you so far.
I've never asked you to help me out.
Sis... I'll do better. I'll take care of it all.
So please don't be like this.
Dad's regretting it so much.
I want to be happy now.
Please help me be happy, Sangu.
Don't be like this.
So you're asking for my help for the first time...
With something that I just can't help you with.
I could never do that.
If you're going to disown dad, disown me too.
Sangu...
If you're not going to change your mind, if you can't change your mind...
Don't ever look for me again.
I can't forgive you if you do this.
What's up with you?
Hey, Sangu. Are you okay?
Where did you get so drunk?
- Up you get - Dad!
Dad!
Dad, my dad.
What's up with you today?
I love you so much, dad.
Let's just the two of us live happily now.
Hey, why would only the two of us live happily?
We have to live happily with Seoyeong when she returns.
Hey, wake up.
Don't act drunk and come this way.
Sangu...
Come here.
Where did you get so drunk?
Were you sad because your sister is suddenly leaving?
Yeah, I'm sure it's worse for you.
How could I be more upset than you?
I'm her brother and you're her father.
You two supported each other when you lived with mom.
I lived separated from Seoyeong for so long.
Dad, don't be too upset.
As if I'd be upset.
Why would I be when she's doing what she wants to?
I'm just a little sad.
I should've lived a good life long ago.
All I had to do was earn $500 a month.
What do you mean $500?
Seoyeong said so.
She said all she wanted from her father was that he earned $500 a month.
But I couldn't live on $500.
I couldn't live on $1,000 or $2,000...
I wanted to make it big for you two.
I didn't even know how incapable I was.
I just wanted to be a rich dad.
You have a younger brother?
What do you mean he's not here now?
Has he gone to the army?
He's overseas.
He won't be back for a while.
Really?
Where, when and why did he go?
I'm not sure.
Have you lost contact?
Okay, we can talk about those things in time.
- The thing is... - Don't worry.
You don't have to tell me anymore.
I'll take care of things with my parents.
You were going to come back like this in 10 days and you acted like you were all that to reject me?
I'm sincerely sorry for the trouble I've caused.
I was going to give you exactly one day.
My mom's cool and easy-going so she's letting you off the hook.
- Thank you, Mom. - Thank you.
Go pack your bags and move back in today.
I cannot allow a girl to live alone at a student hostel.
I'd like to stay there until I get married.
Hey, there's already a lot of talk.
What will people think of our family if we let you stay at the hostel?
Right?
Ujae?
Seongjae?
We'll have a majority vote.
That sounds good. Right, Mom?
Fine, Majority vote sounds good.
I'm against it.
Then stay where you feel comfortable.
Your mom will handle the rest of the wedding so you just have to listen to her.
Okay, since you don't have any parents I'll play the role of your mother as well.
You just have to go to school like you are now and turn up at the wedding hall.
Thank you.
This is money for wedding preparations.
Buy some clothes...
You can't walked around dressed like that anymore.
Starting with your hairstyle, change everything.
Thank you, but I have the incentive money from tutoring.
You call that money...
I'd like to take care of anything that's lacking.
What?
You're preparing all the major things for the wedding.
So I'll take care of my future wife.
Should we take a majority vote for this as well?
Seongjae's gotten smarter after being tutored by a smart teacher?
Let's stop it there, Jiseon.
It's not like he's a momma's boy that suckles at your teat.
He used to be when he was young!
I just found him difficult as he grew up...
Doesn't he know what I went through to permit this wedding?
How can he take her side so perfectly already?
Mom, you have me.
You'll always be my no. 1 until the day you die.
- Really? - Of course.
I won't meet a girl if I love her as much as you.
I'm going to show you the girl before we date and if you say no, no, no,
she'll be cut on the spot.
Stop lying.
I'm telling the truth.
I'll never be able to meet a girl I love more than you.
Seongjae...
Are you crying?
Hey...
A son shouldn't love his mother too much.
What a strange mother and son.
Everyone's here, right?
This is a VIP project so the client is very picky.
But it's double the pay.
Double!
Raise your hand if you speak in a dialect.
Yes, please leave.
Please leave.
That person, please leave.
Yes, you. Please leave.
- Please leave. - Excuse me?
Why? What's wrong with me?
Anyone who's played a pretend guest in this hotel in the last 3 months is excluded.
Then I guess I'm okay.
Is that you, Seoyeong?
Please lend me some taxi fare.
I'm sorry.
Hey, it's 3 a.m. right now.
I'm sorry.
I don't have any time left.
I'm going overseas.
Overseas?
Yes, I'm being forced to go.
I didn't have time to ask you.
What is it that you have to ask?
Can't you stop me from going?
What?
I can stay if you stop me.
Why should I?
I can't see you for 3 years if I go now.
What does that have to do with me?
Yes, I guess it has nothing to do with you.
I know. I know it well.
I can't forget you for the rest of my life.
What is love that everyone does this?
- Why do they do this? - I don't know!
I don't know why my heart is breaking like this.
I'm taking you home and not sending you alone for your parent's sake.
Choe Hojeong.
Just don't say anything and stay still.
I'm going through a hard time right now.
Then just listen.
I'm going to return in 3 years and meet you again.
If you're not engaged or married by then...
Then please give me a chance.
3 years?
Yes, 3 years.
Okay, fine. I'll do that.
Quietly go study overseas.
Who is it at this hour? Gosh...
Hey! What are you doing out there?
I went out the window.
I went and saw him for the last time.
What? You went out the window like this?
Hey, you crazy fool!
Mom, I'll go to the U.S.
You said if I went there for 3 years, I could live my life the way I want.
Yes, I said that.
I understand.
How's this one?
Mr. Lee.
Are you trying to feed a family of 12 with that?
Can you lend me some money?
How much?
I'd like to give my daughter plenty of money for when she goes overseas...
No, no. She hated this side of me.
This is what she hated about me.
No, no. It's okay.
Did you borrow that?
A simple meal of rice and soup is fine. Why are you preparing a banquet?
Set that up inside and put out some side dishes.
When did Seoyeong say she'll come by?
I don't know.
Didn't you call her?
She'll come. She said she'd visit before she came.
See?
Your sister never speaks empty words.
You're here?
I'm here.
- Dad. - Oh, my Seoyeong.
When I grow up, I'm going to marry you.
Really?
Buy pork belly with this for Yeongchang.
I'll be off.
If you're going to disown dad, disown me as well.
Hey, Seoyeong... The seaweed soup...
Have a lot of the seaweed soup.
I've cooked your birthday seaweed soup in advance.
And this...
Use it when you go overseas.
Seoyeong doesn't need money.
It's only $1,900.
If you make an account in the U.S., tell me through Sangu.
I'll send you a little each month.
You don't need to do that.
You're using someone else's money to study overseas.
You need emergency money.
Take it.
What time is your flight tomorrow?
There's no need for you to see me off.
Okay, I won't do that.
Take care of yourself and make sure you sleep well.
Make sure you don'g overdo it when you study.
You too.
Yes, there's no need to worry about me.
I'll have all the Jeju-do debt paid off by the time you come back from the U.S.
Okay, you should be off.
You must have a lot to prepare.
Sangu, see your sister off.
Yes, I was about to.
Take care.
Yes, yes.
She loves egg rolls and yet she didn't even taste it.
I guess she could easily cook egg rolls in the U.S.
Oh, no! Samjae, you fool!
You should've made things that are hard to find in the U.S.
You fool...
Were the egg rolls no good?
I can take the bus.
You're a rich man's wife, why would you take the bus?
You should at least travel by taxi.
Sangu, don't do that.
I had one last hope and yet you kept it up till the end.
You're making me do this.
Sangu...
You're no longer my sister.
I have no sister and my father has no daughter.
Sangu...
Let's never see each other again.
Never again.
Don't ever come to see dad again.
If you ever do...
I'll destroy that happiness of yours.
Sangu...
Enjoy your happiness.
Sangu, let's talk.
Sangu...
Please stop the car!
Sangu!
Sangu...
Sangu!
Sangu...
My daughter...
Oh, my daughter...
Mom, dad. I'll be going then.
Hojeong, if anything happens, make sure you talk to Gyeongho.
And if he can't take care of it, call me.
Stop talking nonsense and let her go.
Go on then.
- Goodbye now. - Bye.
Look at her leave without even looking back.
There was no need to go this far.
Be quiet!
I'm going to ruin my makeup.
All the important people will be there.
Dad, want to go for a hike with me?
- I have to go work. - Can't you skip one day?
It's double the pay today.
Mom.
This is the decision I've made.
I hope at least you understand.
- Thank you. - Your son is so handsome.
Congratulations.
Oh, you're here.
Thank you for coming, CEO Kim.
She's so intelligent and just to our liking...
I begged to be able to make her my daughter-in-law.
I put in a lot of effort to look a little less handsome than my brother.
But I failed.
Congratulations, sis...
Sister-in-law...
Teacher. I mean, sis-in-law.
I'll keep you company since no one is here.
In your brother's stead.
Brother?
She's an orphan? She's worse than Cinderella.
She was there as a tutor and won his heart.
Really?
Bride: Lee Seoyeong
She has the same name as Seoyeong...
- Congratulations. - Yes, thank you.
- Yes. - Congratulations.
You're here?
The groom is very handsome
They say it's time.
What is it?
I didn't know you knew how to get nervous.
Am I nervous?
Hold tight onto my hand. Then you won't be nervous.
It's okay.
Here comes the bride and groom.
Here they come.
You're going overseas?
I have the chance to study in New York.
I don't know when I'll return.
I asked God every night why you had to be my father and my mother's husband.
I hated the fact that you were my father!
