[Episode 9]
How many more springs will we experience?
We're living longer now, so many two hundred?
Two hundred springs.
Will we spend them together, hand in hand?
Spend day and night together, all year long?
I'd make a great husband, no?
No?
Of course you will. Tee-tee is a great person.
So when?
This winter? Or fall?
Or... next month?
Is that why you ran away after shaking the tree?
So is that a no?
It's like mixing spicy soup with ice cream.
- Is it? - Let's go.
- Where? - Home.
- Already? - We saw the cherry blossoms.
We did.
I thought you had work to do.
Let's go. I have to meet Eun-hye too.
So you're not going to give me an answer?
Fine. I guess you can't mix spicy soup with ice cream.
Of course. Please come to your senses.
Let's go.
I'm leaving.
You don't wanna eat anything before you go?
No, I'm not hungry.
Are you free tomorrow? I'll make you something at home.
- At your house? - Yea.
Why? Are you scared? Then bring Mi-jun along.
That's not why. I didn't know you knew how to cook.
Of course. I'm an excellent cook.
I can back up with one hand too.
You're going to get into an accident.
- Aren't I charming? - How old are you?
Be quiet.
Can you change my name?
Why? I like it.
The stingy Yong-gab Gu is not going to give up $9 million.
And you'll be on the papers for stealing your friend's money,
Are you ready to become famous?
Shut up before I break your neck.
- That's cheating! - You're cheating!
- Here, here! - Cheating, that's cheating!
- Wow! - Aren't you bored?
Better than being home alone.
Hurry up, defense!
Why aren't you on a date?
I'm on a date with my friends.
Was that girl Kwanghee group, Dong-su Jin's daughter?
Yea, why?
You have a different response from other guys.
You're not interested in becoming their son-in-law?
I can make my own money.
Besides, I don't need that much.
I think she was interested in you.
She's not my type.
What's your type?
Girls that look good in pink shoes.
What? You saw it?
I saw it while I was cleaning.
I was wondering when you were going to give it to her,
but it was still there.
Are you shy or did you break up already?
He's probably waiting for the right time.
Stop pushing him. You should respect his privacy.
Did she reject you? Bring her to me now.
You're going to ruin things for him.
Is she pretty?
Dong-gu, I'm lonely. Let's go have a drink.
I have plans today.
Cancel it. I'm feeling sad today.
What are you up to now?
Dong-gu, I lived my life in vain.
I don't think anyone's going to be sad when I die.
What? Did something happen?
I'll call you again. Please don't refuse me then.
What's wrong with Yong-gap?
He said he lived his life in vain and no one's going to mourn when he dies.
He's being all sensitive.
Don't fall for his tricks.
Why is he hostile towards Tae-sang?
He feels competition.
And he likes me. But I like Tae-sang.
He's just jealous. Guys are stupid.
Whoever wants to go eat, let's go.
I'll go next time. I have a reunion to go to.
I have a showing with Chang-hee.
Fine. I'll eat alone.
I'll go after I eat.
It's okay. You should go.
I wanted to study Arts Management abroad.
That's why I envied you.
Do you have money I can borrow?
Did you just ask me for money?
I was just wondering since Jae-hee makes good money.
Whatever he makes is his.
Can you ask Tae-sang to lend me some money?
Pretend like you need it. It's hard for me to ask him.
Can you please?
What's going on?
Tell me, you fool. What did you do now?
I lost some money in stocks.
It's for sure this time. Let's invest in it together.
This is an exclusive project.
You need a beating.
Let go. Ouch! It hurts!
You did this before too.
Wake up, fool!
It's time for you to wake up!
Who do you think you are?
I need money.
I have to take care of my mom and brother...
...since we're dirt poor.
Tae-sang never bought me a house like you.
I drove when he told me to drive and sold when he told me to make sales.
...and run operations when he told me to.
- What am I--? - Dong-gu Yun!
I was the one taking care of Tae-sang when you were in jail.
But I'm nowhere near his vicinity.
All he cares about is Chang-hee Lee, Chang-hee Lee!
Let's trade houses.
You can sleep at my house starting today.
I'll live at your apartment.
That's not the point here!
I can't stand you being disappointed at him!
I should've just killed the boss myself if I knew this was going to happen.
You--!
Are you done talking?
I should've just went to jail so he can support my brother and buy me a house.
Ah!
Dong-gu.
Hey, Dong-pal!
How would a left-hand man know what a right-hand man feels like?
Nevermind. Since Jae-hee's here now, I'm just a piece of dirt between his toes.
You can't do that to Tae-sang, you fool.
What?
- What are you doing? - Eating dinner.
Alone?
With friends.
Enjoy.
Sorry I'm late, there was so much traffic.
What are you doing?
Who told you to eat alone? And it's the weekend too.
Can you please sit at a different table?
As you can see it's booked.
And you're the only girl eating alone.
I don't want to eat while looking at your face.
Then close your eyes and eat.
Seong-ju Baek.
Did you find Tae-sang's mother and brother?
Of course you did. You've been looking for a while now.
I haven't found them yet.
You're probably hiding them waiting for the right time to reveal your cards.
Or you might never reveal it and keep it to yourself...
...so you can have your revenge at Tae-sang.
You watched too many cheap movies.
What about his family?
I want apologize by delivering his family to him.
I might deliver them in one piece or make a couple scratches on them.
It all depends on how you do.
What's the matter with you?
Because I love you.
He doesn't even care about the woman I love.
You should dye your hair red if you have time to waste.
Did you ever think about how Tae-sang would feel?
The woman he doesn't even care about tries to stay by his side...
...pretending to be his business partner.
He made it clear that they're just friends, but she still has her hopes up.
He doesn't even care about you. I will seek revenge for you.
How?
I don't wanna ruin the fun.
Excuse me!
Can you just pay my portion? We're just sharing a table.
I will pay for having me join your table.
I will pay the penalty for you joining me.
Mind your own business and enjoy your meal.
You're probably hiding them waiting for the right time to reveal your cards.
Or you might never reveal it and keep it to yourself...
...so you can have your revenge at Tae-sang.
Mother.
I don't need rice. Can you just give me more soup?
- I already put it in. - I'll just take it.
- I put in extra soup. - Thanks, Mother.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
Garlic.
Where's the tomato? Here it is.
Ah.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
You look good.
I'm so happy.
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to work part-time at the cafe with Mi-jun.
I'm going to work at Dongdaemun Market on the evenings.
Eun-hye's not much of a dancer, but she sings well.
Hey.
She was known for that in school.
I'm going to try out for all the audition shows out there.
And other auditions too.
You'll probably be the oldest contestant there.
No, there are people in their thirties too.
Really?
They all want to pursue their dreams.
I can respect that.
- Dad. - Hey.
Who put up these posters?
I think you might know better than me.
Or not.
If you think it's him, you're on the right track.
When did he come?
About 30 minutes ago?
He put the posters up and left without saying a word.
[Mi-do Seo! You can do it!]
- Hello? - You're probably not home, right?
- I am. - I'm in front of your house.
Huh?
I was going to leave it at the front desk.
Why are you alone on the weekend?
What is all this?
I have a guest coming over.
You went grocery shopping to make food?
What did you bring?
You ate dinner, right?
No, I haven't yet.
Hold on. Let me heat this up for you.
You must be hungry. Try some.
- You're not eating? - I already ate.
Thanks.
- Do you like it? - It's really good.
It tastes like home cooked meal when I was young.
I'm glad you like it.
When was I here last? Three years ago?
I think I was here when we had the company outing at Golden Tree.
You got a new piano.
Where did you buy this?
I made it.
Did you think I bought it because it was packed?
Oh... Then can you teach me how to make it?
And if I do?
Are you going to make it for her?
Hello? Did you meet your friend?
I see... I'm home too.
You're not going to sleep right now are you?
I'll call you right back.
It's okay, go ahead.
I'm leaving now. Finish the rest.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Good night.
- Hello? - Yea.
What time are we meeting tomorrow?
I'll pick you up by 11.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Hold on. I shouldn't be doing this right now.
Ah!
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
No.
Hurry up.
Let me sleep in on Sundays.
You already slept in on Saturday.
Go home, eat, and give her the shoes today.
Give her the shoes and go on a date.
Don't worry about it.
Is it because of me?
What are you talking about?
Are you not dating because of a brother like me?
There's nothing wrong with you.
Is it because of me?
Don't ever say that again. I'm gonna--!
I'm going to kill you! Got it?
You bastard!
Are you going somewhere today?
Huh? He invited me over for lunch.
- At his house? - Yea.
Alone? Or are you going with other people?
Alone. Hold on.
Why am I getting nervous?
What are you thinking?
What kind of an advice is a mother supposed to give her daughter?
I've never experienced this.
Mom, it's not what you think.
You're washing the sheets today, right?
I'll come help after lunch.
He gave you a ring and he invited you over for lunch.
Don't you think he's going to propose to you soon?
Mom, I'm not at the age to get married yet.
People don't get married before 30 these days.
You're going to miss your chance if you think like that.
That's why the smart ones never get married.
You might miss your fate if you're hesitant.
You can't lose Tae-sang, okay? Remember, you won't have in-laws.
Mom, can we even afford the furnishings?
He doesn't even expect it from you. And he knows our situation.
Don't you ever think about my pride?
I want to pay off my debt by working at that company before I get married...
...so I can feel comfortable with myself.
I have my own thoughts.
F-fine then, play hard to get today.
Eun-hye.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Can I have an iced americano and cafe latte to go, please?
I'll get it ready.
- Hey. - Huh?
Come closer.
Hey!
- Are you wearing pretty lingerie? - What do you think I am?
- I thought he invited you over. - Not gonna happen.
Make sure to keep your guards up.
I'm sure that old man isn't on the same page as you.
He's more naive than me.
How do you know that? You're going to see him today.
Here's your drink.
Hey. Shh.
What?
Nothing. Give me.
- Bye. - See ya.
Have a great time.
Come on in.
You must be hungry.
Have a seat. It'll be ready soon.
It'll only take a second, okay?
Isn't it weird living in a big house by yourself?
I can slowly fill it up.
One at a time starting with a wife, office, and kids room.
You can reserve a room if you'd like.
You play the piano too?
Ah. I used to play when I was younger. I just like them.
Then play me something later.
Huh? Take a seat while I get this ready.
I'll help. Where do I wash my hands?
It's okay.
Oh...
There's one in the master bedroom and that room.
Oh, and there's one by the door.
There. Put it in, please.
Mm... Smells good.
Are you really hungry?
Of course. I haven't ate since the morning.
Then you can eat this. It'll only taste good if you're hungry.
Mm... Looks delicious.
It's ready.
It's really good.
- You must've been starving. - No, I'm serious.
- Really? - Yea.
- Do you have pickles? - Hold on.
Tada! Here you go.
Huh? I'm okay.
It's not spicy at all. It's just sour.
Really?
Mm...
Is it spicy? Is it spicy?
Are you okay? Then have one more.
It's okay, you can have it all.
You can't eat spicy food...
You drink your coffee with sugar, milk, and creamer...
It's hard dealing with a child.
You should call me older sis. Say it.
I just showered in milk.
Seong-ju?
I think I left my bracelet in the bathroom. Can you check for me?
You had a guest over. I'm sorry.
- Is this it? - Yea.
I'm so out of it these days.
You're not going to ask me to come in?
Come on in.
You're talking as if you're the owner of the house.
Thanks, but I have prior engagements.
See you at work.
- Have fun. - I will.
Would you like some coffee?
I had coffee on the way here.
Let's have tea and dessert, yea?
Are you sure you guys are just friends?
She brings honey for your cough,
and leaves her bracelet in your bathroom.
How is she just a friend?
She just came to drop off something.
I hope you don't misunderstand.
It doesn't logically make sense to me.
What kind of a friend leaves their bracelet in the bathroom?
Mi-do, I'm actually happy...
That you're being jealous.
I want to go home.
Don't be mad. There was a misunderstanding.
What do you want?
Don't you know it's common sense not to call again if I don't pick up once?
Do you know who I met after you left yesterday?
I don't care, bye.
Do you know the name of the guy who Tae-sang's mom had an affair with?
Find out his name and I'll tell you something interesting.
- What's going on? - Find out his name first.
Here.
Tell me what you did with your friend yesterday.
Did you say you went to Mi-jun's studio? Yea?
Eun-hye's dream was to become a singer ever since she was little.
She's going to quit her job and prepare for auditions.
Oh...
Is she being realistic though?
She's just doing what she wants to do. How is that not being realistic?
Because she wants to become a singer.
She's a good singer.
Her dream was to become a singer, but she had to work.
She doesn't come from a wealthy family.
They might want to do it because it looks glamorous.
Without knowing if it fits them or not.
Especially the show business.
You can't say they're not being realistic because they want to pursue that career.
At least you're not like that.
Do you even know what my dream is?
You didn't tell me when I met you 7 years ago.
You said you didn't want to worry about money...
...and meet your friends, see things, and go to places.
Isn't that what you wanted?
Do you think my dream is to live comfortably...
...without having to worry about money?
No, living happily ever after with me.
I want that to be included in there.
Hey! Call Tae-sang.
Tell him I'll bring him some kimchi if he's home.
Why are you talking like a grandma?
It's always good to have a grandma who brings kimchi.
He probably doesn't even eat at home.
Tae-sang likes to eat home cooked meals.
I have a brother like you, but he's all alone.
He likes it when I take him food.
Let's go on a delivery together. Call him now.
Make sure you keep your guards up...
...because I'm sure that old man isn't on the same page as you.
Wow, the main character sings really well.
Are you sleeping?
[New pair for new beginnings]
Mi-do!
Mi-do Seo, Mi-do Seo!
Mi-do, Mi-do Seo.
Mi-do Seo!
- Did I call you out too early? - No.
Things are tough right now because the investor sentiment has shrunk...
...and Yong-gap Gu's presidential appointment.
I'm aware of that.
That's why I'm looking for investors in Hong Kong,
and trying to get in contact with Asia Star Group.
Great idea.
I want you to work with Mi-do Seo.
With Mi-do?
Did you know that she speaks good English and French?
She does?
Well... She likes to travel alone.
And when I was in Guam...
Were you waiting for Mi-do in Guam?
N-no.
You guys make a good couple. I like it when I see you guys together.
The executives of Royal Investment are coming to Korea next week.
They're close to Hong Kong's Asia Star.
I'm aware of that.
They're bringing their significant others.
Take Mi-do with you. Two nights and three days in Kang Won Do.
I'll let Tae-sang know.
I will give you double the amount if you find them before the police.
Please hurry. And work quietly.
- It'll go well. - I see.
Can you work outside tonight?
I'm going out in the afternoon. Should I go if it's on the way?
It's fine. She should go since she's the newest employee here.
Sure. Where should I go?
Take Kelly Cho's class at the Kwang Hwa Mun Art Center...
...and get her contact information.
I want her to help us with performances and exhibitions.
Do you not want to go?
No, I'll go.
Oh yea, the Director at the Business Planning Department was looking for you.
Oh, okay.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Please hold.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I didn't get much sleep the night before.
That's fine. You shouldn't apologize for falling asleep when you're tired.
- How did you get home? - Safely.
That kind of stuff doesn't bother me.
Thanks for understanding.
Can I ask you a question?
Of course. What is it?
I know you like me, but what about Seong-ju Baek?
Are you giving her false hopes?
Because you can't reap benefits off of her?
What do you mean?
You're not interested in her?
How can you say that to me?
I'm just telling you how I feel.
Do you always rant about your feelings like that?
Nevermind then.
I'm not done talking.
I can't be gone for too long.
Stop right there!
I said I'm not done talking.
Do I look stupid to you?
Are you taking advantage of me since I'm being nice to you?
How dare you talk to me like that?
Then what am I supposed to do?
Am I supposed to hold it in and not say anything?
You want me to hold it in since I'm still in debt?
That's not what I'm trying to say.
You!
You know how much I care about you.
Don't ever talk like that to me again.
How is it?
It's a hundred times better than what you make.
Why do you have to say it like that?
- Are you going through menopause? - Adolescence.
Enjoy.
Hey Ddol-yi. Long time.
Why don't you come to the bookstore anymore?
I will.
Did you eat? Come have a seat.
- Let's eat together. - There's no customers.
I can't. I'm the manager here.
Manager, vice president, and a part time worker.
Three in one.
You need more anchovies.
Can we have more anchovies, please?
That boy. He has his head on his shoulders.
You should learn from Ddol-yi.
Don't get fooled by weird producers.
When did I? I'm working hard.
You said you're going to debut in January.
We couldn't because we're not ready yet.
You worry me.
Why does everyone want to become a celebrity these days?
Mi-jun, eat more.
Let him be. I wonder what he's thinking.
You have an addition to your family.
It's going to get bigger.
I will bring my daughter and future son-in-law.
Who's your future son-in-law? Please don't say that.
I will bring my daughter and her boyfriend next time.
Okay.
Royal is an influential company. I'll talk to them.
- Tae-sang. - You need to get out.
Tae-sang, let's talk.
- It's very important. - Please leave.
Tae-sang, give me 5 minutes.
What do we do?
What happened to the investors in Shanghai?
I looked into it again,
but I think Asia Star Group in Hong Kong would be better.
I think Hong-ja is sick.
I asked around and I heard she has to get treated right away.
You have to save your mother.
Where is she? What kind of illness is it?
Huh?
You don't have to come for the funeral.
You may leave.
- Please leave. - You're not even human.
- Please leave. - Tae-sang, Tae-sang.
Tae-sang!
Tae-sang, she can get the surgery done for $30,000.
Sir.
He's my troublemaker uncle. Don't mind him.
But still...
We'll continue later.
I was so poor growing up I always imagined I was in a movie...
...where I have to overcome these hardships.
And I was the main character in there.
I always forced a smile on my face.
I think that was the source of my success.
I never got an approval so I turned an empty lot into an exhibition.
I did performances where I made movies with the audiences.
And that's how I became an art director.
Who knew I would become this successful?
I'm... wealthy now.
I had to work out today. I'm on my way back to the office.
I'm sorry about earlier. I'll wait at the bookstore.
I might be a little late.
I'll wait until you come. Or should I come pick you up?
Oh? I have to get off.
Hold on. I'll call you back.
You didn't leave yet?
You could've left.
I have to write a report.
How did it go?
It went well.
I even got her signature. Do you want to see?
Why?
I think I left my notebook on the bus.
What number?
302. It stops in front of the office.
Try calling their office.
If you look up 302, their company name should come up.
Are you mad because of me?
I've been thinking all day too.
I'm sorry about what happened in the morning.
I hope you're not mad anymore.
I left my notebook on the bus.
I'm so mad I lost it.
Did you have any credit cards or important stuff in there?
No, not really.
I'll buy you a better one.
I'm really sorry about earlier.
You're forgiving me, right?
It's late. You should go.
Okay. I'm glad I got to see you though.
I'll wrap things up here. It's late, go home and get some rest.
Thanks.
Good night.
I left my notebook on the bus.
Mi-do Seo!
Hi, Tae-sang.
Mi-do left her phone at the bookstore.
Did Mi-jun go to the studio?
Okay. Thanks.
Bye.
Mi-do!
Were you looking for this?
How did you think of coming here?
You lost it because I sent you there.
I should be responsible for it.
Thanks.
I'm thirsty.
How about a beer from the convenient store?
Sounds good.
Ah! I'll show you the signature I got earlier.

You should look clean in front of your employees.
No, I'm okay.
I--
I hope it works out between you guys.
You guys are friends and business partners.
Don't you have a son? Isn't his name--?
Han...
I think I came to the right place.
Are you sure you're the Director of this company?
Why do you send your employee on a interview?
I'm just Jae-hee who's supporting your dream for today.
Tae-sang.
Don't leave. Stay by my side. I'll make you the happiest woman.
