Wish Upon a Star
Episode 16
Did you really get lost?
Hey kid, what's wrong?
I didn't get lost. I just needed to talk to you about something.
Ahjussi,
don't get married to someone else.
I snuck out of the hospital because I had something to say to you.
What kid? You mean you snuck out of the hospital and ran off?
Aigoo, I swear...
Kid, your sister has probably keeled over by now.
Just a minute. Just a minute, Ahjussi!
Talk to me first.
Be still, I tell you!
Let's go report him missing to the police for starters.
Hello?
Lawyer Won?
Excuse me?
Then, you're saying that Pa Rang is with you now?
He's with me right now so don't worry.
Ahjussi!
I'm hungry.
The kid says he's hungry,
so I'm going to feed him and then bring him home.
So, go on home and wait for him there.
Here. You're probably thirsty.
Thank you.
Now are you feeling a little full?
Yes.
[Jung Jae Young]
Let's go if you're done eating.
No, I told you I need to talk to you.
What do we have to talk about?
Ahjussi.
What?
I really really respect you, Ahjussi.
Let's talk at home.
Your sister is worried about you.
She knows I'm with you.
Listen kid, I don't have anything to say to you.
But I have something to say.
Ahjussi, you really can't do that.
How can you marry some other woman?
Instead of our sister?
Listen to you.
What does your sister have anything to do with my marrying someone else.
I even like the smell of your feet.
What?
I said I even like the smell of your feet.
That's how much I respect you.
Hey pal, my feet don't smell.
They do, Ahjussi.
I'm the kind of person that doesn't sleep unless he's showered.
Do you know how neat I am?
Still, they smell.
Stop talking about useless things and let's go.
Ahjussi.
Marriage, see, is something you do with someone you really love.
That's what my mom said.
She said you only live once so you can't just marry anyone.
Even if you marry the person you really love,
she said life was short.
So, please, marry our sister.
Does it seem like I love your sister?
Yes.
Why?
You're asking why? It's just something I can feel.
But if you ask me why, I don't really have an answer.
What are you, some sort or oracle?
Why are you laughing?
I think you're really funny.
Funny? You're the funny one, pal.
I just like you from your head to your toes.
I'm asking this because I'm really curious...
Yes?
Did you and your sister take some sort of lessons?
Where in the world did you guys pick up this knack of making someone talk so much?
Really, you're too funny, Ahjussi! You're jokes are the bomb!
Don't overact, kid.
What was funny about that? Tch.
When that boy comes home, he's in so much trouble.
Pa Rang probably called Hyung on purpose, don't you think?
He knows your number, but called Hyung.
Why do you think he likes Hyung so much?
He's not really the kind of person kids like so much.
What are you doing here at this time of day?
What do you think?
The only way to see Won Kang Ha is to come to his house, isn't it?
Didn't you have an appointment at So Young's wedding hall today?
Don't tell me he didn't show up?
We'll talk later.
I'm sorry.
Because of my little brother...
It seems my little brother got lost and called Lawyer Won.
What the hell are you doing?
You may act like the fool, but you sure are making clever moves.
What the hell is it that you want?
What the hell is it that you want that you'd even use your younger brother?!
What do you mean using?
Who's using who?!
Pal Gang didn't know anything about it.
Do you think that makes any sense?
If he knows Kang Ha Oppa's phone number,
then obviously he knows his sister's phone number.
Yet, he calls Kang Ha Oppa.
You think he thought of that on his own?!
Can you really say for sure his sister didn't get him to do it?!
Pal Gang's little brother adores Hyung.
It has nothing to do with Pal Gang.
Pal Gang, please go inside.
Go on.
You... is this really all you amount to?
Why are you acting like this too?
What did that woman do to deserve you slapping her?
Won Jun Ha!
On top of that, she just went through a shock, thinking she lost her brother.
And you...
What's wrong with you?! What the hell is she that you're acting this way to me?!
Do you know what kind of humiliation I just went through?!
I came out with my engagement dress on,
and Won Kang Ha had disappeared.
He disappeared without a word!
And he won't even answer my calls.
And then I hear he's with that woman's little brother.
Can you understand now?!
Why I slapped her?!
No. No matter what excuse you give, I don't understand it.
I told you I came out with my engagement dress on and he was gone!
Do you even know what kind of insult that is to a woman?!
So why marry someone like that?
Why marry someone who considers a call from a kid he lives with
more important than seeing his fiancée in her engagement dress?!
Why are you treating me like this too?!
If you're like this too, what am I supposed to do?!
This is the road you chose.
My brother was dragged into this because you threatened to kill yourself.
Then, you should just be grateful.
It's not like you couldn't have expected how he'd act.
So don't be disgruntled, and even if you are, resolve it yourself.
Don't go taking out your anger on someone that has nothing to do with it.
Are you taking that woman's side right now?
Are you getting mad at me and taking her side right now?
I'm warning you.
In the future, don't treat that woman so thoughtlessly.
Because I won't stand for it.
Is your cheek okay?
Hyung must have been a little harsh.
So, she was mad.
I hope you can understand.
Of course I should.
When such important people are engaging in their love games,
Would it be right for a loser like me to be indignant over a little face slap?
Pal Gang,
I'm okay.
I'm really okay.
I'll be facing that kind of thing many times in the future,
so it's actually a good thing.
I'll be building up an immunity.
Living with 5 younger siblings, I'm sure I'll suffer worse treatment than today.
From now on, I won't let you suffer that kind of treatment.
I won't let you be treated like that no matter what.
What are you to me that you can say you will or won't let me be treated like that?
Someone who's never been as furious as today.
Someone who saw you get slapped
and understood for the first time ever that a person could get this angry.
Someone who became determined not to let anything like this happen to you again.
How can you drink cola so slowly?
Ahjussi.
Can you please stop talking nonsense so we can go?
I'm telling you your sister is worried about you.
See? You're worrying about my sister.
That's because you love her, I tell you.
How is that love? I'm just worried about your sister because she lost you.
That's love.
My mother said so. When you love someone, you worry about them.
What in the world was your mother teaching you that stuff for?
Ahjussi.
What now?
You really don't love my sister?
I... have to marry someone else.
But, my sister loves you.
How do you know that?
She told Nam Yi, that biggest star there seemed like Lawyer Ahjussi.
That was just something to say, I'm sure.
No. I heard her clearly as she was putting Nam Yi to sleep.
She said, "Let's give that biggest star to Lawyer Ahjussi."
A long time ago, that's what my mom said too.
That biggest star is Daddy's star.
I cried and said I wanted the biggest star, but she said no.
She said, "No, that's Daddy's star.
When you grow up, you can find the biggest star and claim it for the person you love."
That's what she said.
Come on. Let's just go, please! Huh?
Aigoo.
She told Nam Yi, that biggest star there seemed like Lawyer Ahjussi.
As you go through life, there are those moments, you know?
It might be that person.
You think to yourself, the person I was born to meet...
it might be that very person.
And in that moment, your heart is stunned...
That day back then, that's how it was.
Get up. What is wrong with you?!
Why call Lawyer Ahjussi?!
Are you going to keep on upsetting me like this?
What is wrong with you? Why are you doing this?
Why are you hitting a sleeping child?
It's my little brother.
He did something wrong, and I need to knock some sense into him.
You come here. You're going to get it.
You won't come?
You are in so much trouble. Come here!
Pal Gang.
Aigoo, why make your sister so upset?
This won't do.
Your sister's really angry so let's go escape into my room.
Do you think my bruising my pride like this,
you're going to make me throw up a white flag?
I had no such intention.
If you don't have that intention, then why rile me up like this?
I just ran without thinking.
The child called and said he was lost, so what was I supposed to do?
Didn't it occur to you he might be playing you?
Didn't it occur to you that he and that woman who plays dumb and innocent
may be playing you?!
Why did a boy who was capable of calling you not call his sister?
It's strange, isn't it?
How does it feel to be played by that dumb-acting woman who
even uses her little brother?
Do you know why I can't stand the idea of marrying you?
Because the though of spending the rest of my life
with someone who talks the way you do horrifies me.
You think you're clever, but you're not.
Raising your hand to someone who's horrified at the thought of spending his life with you
isn't something you should be doing.
The thing you need to be doing at this moment,
is figure out what could make me less horrified by the thought of you.
That's what you need to figure out.
If you leave quietly now, we don't have to let this get to its worst.
So how about it?
Are you going to stick around?
Quit crying now. You'll wear yourself out.
It's okay. Lawyer Ahjussi bought me Pizza and I ate a lot.
So, I won't wear myself out.
Aigoo, that's a relief.
But still, stop crying.
If a boy cries too much, he looks lacking.
Should I stop?
Of course?
- Pa Rang. - Yes?
If something happens in the future, give me a call.
I'll give you my mobile number.
No, I already know Lawyer Ahjussi's phone number, anyway.
Pa Rang, why do you like Lawyer Ahjussi so much?
When your brother was beating you up, I was the one that helped you.
Don't you think I seem like a nicer guy in general?
That's what my sister No Rang thinks.
No, think about it.
Lawyer Ahjussi is always snapping and ignoring other people.
But I don't.
Lawyer Ahjussi talks to me a lot.
And even if he didn't talk to me, Lawyer Ahjussi has to marry Noona.
Why?
Because he's the one she loves.
That might just be a misunderstanding you have, Pa Rang.
It doesn't seem to me like your sister loves Lawyer Ahjussi.
That's your misunderstanding.
That's what Noona said.
That the biggest star is Lawyer Ahjussi's star.
That means she loves him.
Well that was probably a long time ago.
And Pa Rang, stars continue to appear.
The big stars from before may not be the big stars now.
An even bigger start could appear.
No, it wasn't a long time ago.
It was after we moved here.
Pa Rang, you come out now.
So you can hit me again?
I won't hit you so come out now.
Pa Rang, if Noona hits you,
you come and hide in my room right away.
If Noona says she won't hit me, she won't.
Ah, really? I guess she's got a volatile temper then.
Come out with me.
Where?
We'll eat before we come back so don't make dinner for us.
It's weird to be eating by ourselves.
Unni, if Lawyer Ahjussi gets married, is that Ahjumma going to live here with us?
That Ahjumma seems pretty cold.
Doesn't she?
Right. She doesn't even respond when we greet her.
I told Lawyer Ahjussi not to marry that Ahjumma.
Do you think what you say will get through?
I told him in a way he would understand.
We're going to leave this house before Lawyer Ahjussi gets married,
so you don't have to worry about living with that Ahjumma.
Do you have money to get a place?
I can makes some.
No matter what happens, I'll make that money.
Honey, I'm here.
Here.
I'm going to buy some for you everyday.
Until you accept me.
Just dealing with you is tiring me out.
Can you just stop now?
You're not going to take them?
I said just stop it now, Woo Tae Gyu!
I will never see you as a man until the day I die.
So please don't to this kind of thing.
As a girl too, I can tell...
Tae Gyu Oppa,
Yeah?
I think you're going to have to give it up.
Cho Rok, I really didn't think that you would say that too.
If you think that way too, what am I going to do?
But, what can you do? I'm really upset too.
As a fellow human, how can I not feel your heartache?
But what can we do? My sister doesn't see you as a man.
Then what am I? Am I a woman? Am I a woman?!
Hyung, it's because you say such things that Noona doesn't see you as a man.
Then what am I supposed to say in this situation?
That's the problem. There's nothing you can say in this situation.
Hyung, think on the bright side.
Marrying our sister has a lot of problems.
It's no great thing to marry a woman with 5 younger siblings.
For me, it's all okay.
I like all of you, including Grandpa, a lot.
Really, there isn't anyone like you, Tae Gyu Oppa.
I wonder why Unni can't see it.
Cho Rok, if only you were 10 years older, I could really love you.
I do feel sorry for Tae Gyu Oppa.
I've never seen a full grown man cry for that long.
People do that when they get dumped.
What's dumped? Is that what happened to Tae Gyu Hyung?
Unni.
What?
I think I'm going to have to marry Tae Gyu Oppa.
I swear I need to get out of this blasted household!
Is Tae Gyu really the only one home?
Yes, come on in.
What's the matter with you?
Grandfather.
If you start again, you better watch out. My patience has its limits.
I... Grandfather, I...
I said let it go.
I really wanted to take care of you like your were my real grandfather.
I really loved you, Grandfather.
Me?
But... I'll give it up.
My beloved doesn't want me, so what can I do?
That kid Tae Gyu seems to like you a lot.
The men in this house seem to always go on about love.
Pal Gang.
Yes?
Isn't there someone you have feelings for?
Where would there be such a person?
So you're saying there isn't anyone.
There isn't.
Really?
That's good, then.
Why?
There's someone I want to introduce you to.
What, you found some ragamuffin for me?
He's no ragamuffin.
Then, what does he do?
Well, that...
Oh, never mind.
If you can't even mention it, I can just imagine.
No. Even if he had a really good job, I'm not interested.
I'm just going to live with my kids,
so don't even think of introducing me to anyone.
Sleep well.
You should at least eat dinner before you drink.
Hyung.
If it makes you that miserable, then don't do it, getting married.
Jae Young's threat of killing herself is really just a threat.
I know Jae Young.
No matter what happens, she's not capable of suicide.
Even if it's just because of her pride, she couldn't do it.
Jun Ha.
Yeah?
When I get married, I'll be moving out.
So...
You're going to move into Jae Young's?
Why would you go to that extent?
No matter if I go into her house or not, I'm moving out.
So...
extend Jin Pal Gang's contract.
And let her continue to stay at the house.
If I'm not there, the kids will feel more comfortable.
And Tae Gyu will be graduating next year and heading back to the US.
Then, there will be a lot less work needed around the house.
Are you saying you're moving out for Jin Pal Gang?
No.
Then?
For you.
So, answer me just this one thing.
You're feelings are real, right?
It's not a game, is it?
Answer me.
No, it's real.
That's fine then.
You know, Jun Ha,
I like you a lot.
Even though I was a jerk to you a lot,
I'm grateful you put up with it all,
My ridiculous absolute dictatorship,
even though it didn't make sense that you never rebelled against it,
I was still very grateful.
That wasn't because of you.
Our mother made it like that.
You wanting to use your own bathroom didn't start with you.
Mother always said the second floor bathroom is Hyung's, so don't ever use it.
And the thing I'm the most sorry for,
is that I've taken too much of what's yours over the years.
It was all yours.
I've taken too much of what's yours.
Why say that kind of thing?
How can you lose him when you haven't found out anything yet?
This is no different than a tacit admission.
A tacit what?
If there's nothing fishy going on, then why would he run away?
I'm certain he ran away because he figured out I was following him.
How'd you let him figure it out?
I thought hiding and shadowing were you specialty.
You should have been more careful.
That's just more decisive evidence.
If he was able to shake a pro like me, it just means he's a pro above pros.
It turns out that this man Kim Do Shik... has 3 stars.
By stars you mean...
You're talking about how many times he's been in the slammer, right?
He had 3 indictments of violence.
But there was something strange.
Something else strange?
There was almost going to be 4 stars, but...
he negotiated and paid reparation to the victim
and was let go on probation.
That's something strange?
The reparation was no less than 300 million won.
300 million?!
He basically beat someone to near death.
But he didn't go to jail?
That's why I'm saying it's strange.
He doesn't even own a home. Where could he have gotten that much money?
The picture becomes crystal clear.
Why are you bringing up pictures?
What I'm saying is that there's a financier, and one with a lot of money at that.
I really just don't understand.
What would someone like that have against my parents to cause such an accident?
Really...
What kind of interesting thing are you all talking about?
Aigoo, Team Manager Won.
It's not an interesting thing, but a scary thing.
A scary thing? Are you telling ghost stories then?
No, it's not that.
There seems to be a huge plot behind the accident Pal Gang's parents were in.
Plot?
Yes.
How could you let yourself be followed.
I shook him so don't worry about it.
I'm going to need some money.
It was the right decision to dig in Kim Sung Ho's direction rather than Oh Jung Ae.
I approached some kids I hung out with in the Pokju area and found out
where they could be living.
Where is it?
I know they're in Donghae but not the exact address.
I found out where they've been living until recently.
If I go there and dig around, I'm sure we can find out right away.
I'll deposit the money so go right away.
And if I find them?
I suppose I do the same as I did with Jin Se Yoon and his wife?
Anyway, who's going to concern themselves
too much over a fire during the middle of winter in some country town?
You must do it.
There can't be any mistakes.
Okay, I understand. I get it.
Don't drink.
It's always the drinking that gets you in trouble.
Don't worry about a thing and just wait for good news.
Actually,
I suppose a part of me doesn't want to know.
What are you talking about?
If my parents died because of someone's grudge, I won't be able to forgive him.
Then who knows what I'll want to do in revenge?
I really don't like myself... even thinking these thoughts.
I just really wish it was an ordinary car accident.
It's so nice.
You telling me... all of your thoughts.
Will you continue to do so?
I'm confident I make a great listener.
You will, won't you?
Why are you in my office?
Seriously, why are you acting like this too?!
What?
What are you doing holding Jin Pal Gang's shoulders in the halls at work?
What do you think?
I know you're nice to women, no to everyone.
But don't you think you need to be careful about behavior that may turn into gossip?
What if I don't want to?
What does that mean?
I'm sure you understood.
You couldn't possibly mean that you have feelings for that girl?
Don't call her that girl.
I'm certain I warned you yesterday, not to treat her thoughtlessly.
That I wouldn't stand for it.
Why don't you see that wedding hall woman Lee So Young.
I can understand with a woman of that caliber.
Do you know how laughable you seem right now?
Why are you debating the pros and cons of who I date?
I'm your friend. Unlike any other.
Then if I've started loving someone, as my friend, shouldn't you congratulate me?
Love?
You're saying it's love? With that preposterous girl.
I warned you to be careful what you say.
That's ridiculous. stop it, Won Jun Ha.
She's not suitable for you.
What are you lacking that you would be with such a preposterous...
I have never in my life slapped a woman.
But don't make me... want to do that to you.
Don't, Jun Ha. You always listen to me.
I'm asking you as a friend.
That girl... okay, Jin Pal Gang. I really dislike her.
I dislike her so much it makes me crazy.
So make her leave your house as well.
You acting this way is really laughable.
Jin Pal Gang
I love her, not Hyung.
If he loved her, I'd understand why you'd make such a fuss.
But why make such a fuss to me?
Kang Ha Oppa is the man I love,
but you're my friend that I don't want to lose.
It seems you and I need to stop that,
being friends, I mean.
A friend that is so rude to the person I love,
I can't have that, can I?
Get out.
I asked you to get out.
Why aren't you guys working on your homework?
We want to feed Tae Gyu Hyung.
He might really die.
He's a real problem too.
Have some of these.
This too.
Come on, Oppa.
You have to eat to live.
We all live to eat.
No, people eat to live.
Oppa, do you really want to debate that right now?
Please eat, Oppa.
I don't want to.
I can't eat anything with a torn heart.
You might faint if you keep this up.
A guy who's been dumped has to starve for at least a month.
You're going to starve for a month?
That way I can prove how great my love is.
It may be a love that's over, but I feel I must prove it.
Why prove it. It's all over anyway.
I'm that kind of guy.
It may be over,
but I'm not the sort of bad person that quickly moves on and loves someone else.
Oh, the pain.
Oh, I'm dizzy.
Whoa, I'm seeing stars.
Hyung, you see stars?
How many?
Wow. Wow.
I'm going to use this to make potato soup. Don't you have anything bigger?
That's all I have for today.
They're too small to use for broth.
No, those are the best for broth.
Will it be flavorful?
These are dried anchovies and seaweed. Eat it with your family.
Wow, Ahjumma. It's been a really long time.
What great timing, Pal Gang.
I just got my bus ticket and was worried about having time to get these to you.
Take these to your mom.
You're not going to see Mom?
I saw you so it's fine.
Still, you should see her before you go.
Oh, the bus is here.
Oh, and tell your mother I've moved.
I'm working at a dried fish shop in Donghae. If she asks there, they'll tell her.
Give me a ticket to Donghae.
You have one leaving right away, don't you?
Noona, where are you?
Why aren't you home yet?
Oh, I suddenly have a business trip.
You're taking Nam Yi on a business trip?
Oh, get your head on straight.
I'm going to take Nam Yi with me.
You don't have his diapers or milk.
I can buy milk, and diapers too.
What? Tomorrow?
You're coming back tomorrow and you're taking Nam Yi?
I'll call you later, Ju Hwang.
Noona.
Noona!
What's the matter?
She says she has some business trip all of a sudden.
She originally went out to buy dried anchovies and potatoes to make dinner.
Where is she going?
I don't know.
She just said she'd call back later and hung up.
She didn't take any of Nam Yi's stuff.
I don't know why Noona acts like this.
I can't rest a single day because of her.
Nam, please understand.
You know how Noona forgets about everything else when she thinks of something.
Let's rough it just this one day, okay?
Hyung. Hyung.
I so old now,
but you're still a youth.
Why'd you die so young. You should have at least had a child.
Why were you in such a rush to go?
Hyung.
My brother. Hyung.
It should have been me that died.
You don't know how great my brother was, do you?
That's enough. You're father can't hear you.
How can you talk like that?
Do you think I'm putting on a show for my father to hear?
I'm not. I'm really not.
Do you know how much I loved my brother?
I was a little resentful because Father favored him,
but I loved him so much I would have died for him.
If he'd at least left behind a child, my heart wouldn't be so crushed like this.
Then, at least I could have raised him like my own, no better than my own.
Oh, my poor brother.
Hyung.
Hyung!
Why aren't you answering.
I'm coming now, so don't do anything.
Do you understand? Don't do anything.
Wait until I get there.
You wait.
I'll be there first thing in the morning so wait.
Our little Nam Yi's has to suffer because Noona's so absent-minded.
But, it's to help find Grandfather's daughter-in-law.
Ahjumma Jung Ae is apparently Grandfather's daughter-in-law.
We have to find her for him.
Here.
Do you know someone named Oh Jung Ae?
Oh Jung Ae... it's not a name I know.
I'm sure she said to come look for her here.
Ah, I took over this shop last winter.
It must be someone who was here before.
But the owner then was a man.
Do you think I could get his contact information?
I must find Oh Jung Ae.
Oh Jung Ae?
You mean Sung Ho's mother?
I should have left you at home, Nam Yi.
What's wrong with me?
What is it?
Why don't you answer your phone?
You were drinking again, weren't you?
I'm human too.
You're asking me to kill. Can you do that with a clear head?
Then did you already do it?
I drank and just woke up.
I found out where they live.
Yes?
What?
What do you mean you think you've found her.
He was questioned a few days ago about an incident regarding violence.
I want to go too.
Is this Oh Jung Ae's house?
Yes, why?
Is someone here?
What is this?
How much is this?
You must leave here with me now.
What do you mean leave?
We're leaving now.
I'll take them to Incheon, make fake passports and have them
leave so don't worry about it.
But, do you really think it's okay to do it this way?
To leave the source of the problem?
Just do as I ask.
Just go to China and make sure they don't come back.
Nail it into them they must never come back.
Tell them if they come back,
they may end up dead.
Please open the door!
Please open the door! Is no one here?!
Please open the door!
My baby's sick! Hello...
Is someone sick?
My baby, my baby...
I think we'll have to sleep in the city tonight.
Going up to the mountains tonight is dangerous.
You're certain they live here, right?
Yes, according to the investigator.
What's the matter?
Ah, nothing.
His fever's gone down now.
Is he all right?
How can you take a baby that's barely 1 and wander through the mountains in the snow?
Something awful may happen.
Could I leave my baby here for just a little bit?
There's someone I must find in the mountains, you see.
Is anyone home?
Who are you?
Is there an Oh Jung Ae that lives here?
She was rushing like she was fleeing in the night.
The way she was acting, it seemed she was going somewhere far away.
Grandmother, if she comes, could you tell her Jin Pal Gang was looking for her
and to be sure to contact me?
Okay, will you?
I understand, but it didn't seem like she was coming back soon.
Pal Gang.
Grandfather.
Chairman, how do you know Pal Gang...
Ch-chairman?
Noona, what are you doing?
You guys pack your bags too.
Noona, what's the matter?
We're moving out, so get your stuff together quickly.
Where have they all gone?
She said she was fed up with it and left.
What happened?
What happened with Pal Gang?!
Hey, what's the matter with you?
I have to forget all the memories from being in that house.
You still felt that way?
Dishwashing, serving, I can do it all!
What happened? Were you able to calm Pal Gang down a little?
Pal Gang moved out.
Why did you come here?
The Chairman has collapsed.
