Take a look
Who are you?
Take a look.
Who are you?
Yoon Hee. Why?
What's the matter?
I'm Hong Kyung Doo.
What's your name?
Jung Yi Hyun.
Jung Yoon Hee...
I heard that name before.
Seriously before I die, there's just one punk...
Since I borrowed it for a long time.
If dying is the same as living
consider yourself dead and live with me for just a year...
Are you saying you want to live with a corpse?
Five, four, three, two, one, bingo!
Uh huh. I said forget it.
Hear me out and see if I'm wrong.
When you walk in this alley to find a pub, which sign can you see better?
Yours or that place with a neon sign?
It's not about a few pennies here, so I'm sure it's not easy to decide.
Oh my, when will this economy get better?
But it'll be better to invest in renovation.
That place's sale went up 20% after changing their sign.
You can think about it after you hang it first.
When my boss finds out, I'll be in trouble.
But I'll let you try it out for free for one week.
If the week's sale doesn't go up, I'll take it back.
Don't let others know.
I'll get fired.
Oh my. How would I know with only one week of use?
Unless it's for 10 days or something.
We can do for 10 days, of course.
Go in.
It's Daesung Sign, right?
I want to order a sign.
It's for Sungah-ri number 126, 'Drink It Up' pub...
Yes.
Sir! Coincidentally, we got a sign order for a pub down there.
They're getting a bigger size than yours.
Their sign is bigger, so it's covering your business sign here.
If you pay some extra, I'll bring you something bigger than that sign.
You mustn't tell my boss, okay?
How many sales today?
Fried chicken place, Gooilkwan, Baby Baby Nite
and 'Drink It Up' pub are all getting new signs.
And an exchange for a bigger size sign.
This is big news, big news.
At this rate, Hong Kyung Doo will become the king of sales.
Enjoy.
Yes.
Why are you smiling like a fool?
Did you sleep with a hanger in your mouth?
Don't smile like that.
Don't smile. You look like a fool.
I'm sorry.
I won't smile.
Whenever I see you, I can't help but smile because I'm happy.
I can't see myself smiling.
How can I know whether my face looks like a hanger or an iron?
I'm just so happy seeing you within a few days, what else would I do but smile?
Why are you packing new pairs of underwear again?
Are you leaving again?
I asked, if you're leaving again.
I'm...
I'm sorry...
Why should you be sorry?
Business owners from Busan are so nice.
Since my late mother was from here, I thought of her
and told them I was working in Busan
they buy new signs from us, although theirs are pretty new.
But your mother's hometown isn't Busan.
If you sell in Busan, Busan is your hometown.
If you sell in Pohang, that becomes your hometown.
After just returning from Busan
are you leaving for Pohang again?
My staff wanted to go straight to Pohang, but I stopped by here to see you.
I have to leave right away.
Competition for neon sign businesses is so fierce.
In a blink of an eye, your competitors take your spot.
I don't know why you're mad, but I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll be back.
Mister!
Be careful. Be careful.
Why? Why don't you sleep more?
Take me with you.
Where?
Whether it's Woolsan or Pohang, I'm going, too.
You're not making sense.
For regional sales, we move as a team.
We have to sleep at a motel, so it's not for you, Yoon Hee.
Then, don't do regional sales.
You can just do it in Chungju.
I've done enough in Chungju and other new employees are in charge of it.
You have no idea how much they pay you for regional sales.
I need to pay back the debts I owe to the townsfolk and buy you pretty clothes.
I don't want it.
I don't like it.
Yoon Hee. Now that I have someone to be responsible for
I'm becoming a pretty decent guy.
Since I have you, Yoon Hee, no matter how much I lack sleep or proper meals
or work all over the country until I get blisters on my feet, I don't feel tired.
What is there to be tired about?
Still, I don't like it.
Because I work so hard, my boss says he can rely on me the most.
Even if he can't rely on anyone else
he says he can fully put his trust on this Hong Kyung Doo.
Without Hong Kyung Doo, our whole company will collapse, he says.
If I endure a bit more, he has promised to give me a franchise.
This Hong Kyung Doo can become the CEO of a franchise.
I said I don't want it.
Yoon Hee. How can this Hong Kyung Doo be a CEO?
Without you, I couldn't even dream of it.
Yoon Hee, you know... I won't stand to hear people say
'Why is that decent looking woman hanging around with some loser?'
'What a nice looking couple.' 'Such a decent woman and a decent man.'
I'll work hard so that I hear that.
I'm going to become a man that compliments you very well, Yoon Hee.
So, for now...
I said, I don't want it!
Why can't you understand what I'm saying?
I don't like it, Mister!
I'm a person who can't stop thinking.
Even if I don't want to remember, every single second repeats in my head.
No matter how hard I try to forget my lousy brain
doesn't stop thinking but keeps repeating what happened that day.
But if you are by my side, it doesn't do that.
I didn't need to regurgitate the past.
So... what is that past?
Only when you're with me, I could stop the thought.
When I open my eyes in the morning and see you
'I'm relieved that thoughts won't bother me today.'
When I lie down at night with you
'I'm assured that I had a nice day without being tormented by the thought.'
If you brought me here after stopping me from dying, please save me.
Don't go anywhere else.
Don't give me time, please I beg you.
Rather just make dumplings and sell them.
So that you don't have to go anywhere.
[Kyung Doo Dumpling]
[Grand Opening Kyung Doo Dumpling]
Now that you have to pay for them, are they too expensive?
Nobody asked you to buy but you dragged me here and put these clothes on me.
I don't want them either. How petty!
An urgent matter came up, so I'm leaving first.
The clothes you tried on have already been paid for, so take them with you.
Submit your resignation at the taxi company within today.
I will call you tomorrow.
So the person who blocked your future wasn't you. But it was me.
He is indeed the man who came looking for General Manager Jung
saying that she resembled his wife when she appeared on TV.
And this child is the kid we saw in Jeju Island, right?
Yes, that's correct.
As you suspected, it seems General Manger Jung Yi Hyun is that child's mother.
That man is then...
Yes.
Her estimated age matches the time General Manager Jung left your house.
She may try to deny it, so check the DNA.
Yes, but...
They disappeared in the past few days.
Disappeared?
They disappeared from where they lived.
Their house and the store are vacated.
Find them.
If you keep watch on Jung Yi Hyun, they'll meet eventually.
Yes, I understand.
What did Yi Hyun talk to Branch Manager Jung Sang Gook about?
About that...
You only instructed me to find out who she's meeting
so I didn't find out the content of their conversation...
I'm sorry.
What kind of person is he?
I'm curious.
What kind of man is he, that great Jung Yi Hyun, bore his child?
Yes, is it Tae Soo?
Hey, kid. If you were going to leave, you should've told me.
If this is freezing winter, Hae Deum and I would've turned into freezing statues.
Come back quickly and open the door.
What? You went to the countryside?
When are you coming back?
According to the Korean Depository branches, the investment made from
domestic market to American market has reached $1,203,800,000 in the first quarter.
Compared to Japan, Hong Kong, China, and other countries...
What should I do? I'm so nervous.
Sun Young. Look at this.
Is it important that the investment in the American market
has a greater percentage compared to other countries?
The point is we have to get hold
of the super riches who are investing overseas.
The data can be shown in graphics, so use the pointer to indicate the numbers
and speak about the total funds that has turned to the market overseas.
You look like a palsy patient. Don't tremble.
And another thing, your father-in-law reacts sensitively in regard to his rivals.
So you should mention the funds they have.
Okay.
Hanra hedge fund $40 billion. Pacific $55 billion...
Drive in a wedge. You can also combine them all.
Say, it's 1 billion, 2 billion, or 3 billion dollars in total.
As if they were all our money but Hanra and Pacific took them away from us.
You're going to turn into a fish, Sun Young.
What?
Did something happen to Yi Hyun?
Seeing that she's not her usual self, something big must have happened.
Yi Hyun.
Yes, I'm sorry...
I'd better get some rest.
I think I'm coming down with a flu.
Soo Chang, please take good care of Sun Young.
Sun Young, see you at home.
Are you very sick?
Can you drive?
Should I drive for you?
No, it's alright.
Let's try again.
When did you say official presentation date was in front of your father-in-law?
No, did you say he hasn't officially given you permission?
It seems that he'll decide based on the presentation.
Okay, then. Let's practice again.
I think we should take her home.
She doesn't get sick often.
She's never done this before.
Let's try again tomorrow.
What are you doing?
Let's go.
I'm hungry.
Okay, let's eat.
Where do you live?
It's alright.
What does that matter now?
He said, at that time, I wasn't in my right mind
to go to the extent and try to kill myself by falling off a cliff.
Something that I can't remember no matter how hard I try...
At that time, it kept coming to my mind and tormented me, he said.
That man must have danced before me everyday.
I probably laughed my worries away watching his silly moves.
So probably asked him to do funny dances for me at his dumpling store.
Did I block his path?
Did I get in the way of his future?
So what? What did I do wrong?
He's the one who let it happen.
Why is it my fault?
There's no need to feel guilty.
No need to feel responsible. He chose it himself anyway.
If he didn't want to do it, he could've refused.
Ultimately, he gave up on success and chose to be silly.
He did it because he wanted to.
Why did you like someone like me, Mister?
I was going to buy it for you when you enter middle school.
But I'm giving it to you in case something happens.
Be careful not to lose it.
Yes!
My daughter...
Hold on. How many kilos is my daughter? You've gotten heavier.
I measured at the kindergarten yesterday and it's 16 kg.
Really? You've gained 2 kg already!
Wow, you're growing so fast, my daughter.
You'll be ready to get married.
Dad.
Yes, Daughter.
I have a question.
A question?
You said Ms. Jung Yi Hyun, who found your phone for you
found you a job, right?
I did.
Why do you call Ms. Jung Yi Hyun, 'Yoon Hee?'
She's her.
You said Jung Yoon Hee is my mother and my mother is dead.
I thought she was dead but she's alive. That's how I got to meet her.
If Jung Yi Hyun is Jung Yoon Hee, Jung Yi Hyun is Hae Deum's mom.
Hae Deum.
I'm not sure if you can understand what daddy says.
Try it.
So... I thought I couldn't see Jung Yoon Hee because she was dead.
But when we met again, she doesn't remember that she lived with me and had you.
Since she's living in a huge house doing what she does, she can't see you easily.
It's strange why she said her name is Jung Yoon Hee
when it's in fact Jung Yi Hyun.
It's the strangest thing in the world.
Who are you calling?
Ms. Jung Yi Hyun.
Are you my mother?
I was taking Hae Deum to her kindergarten...
As you told me, I registered her for half-day kindergarten
yesterday and she started today.
They don't normally take students in the middle of the year
but they did when I begged them.
I arranged it so that you get off work in time
to pick up Hae Deum from her kindergarten.
We should not leave a child alone
while she needs an absolute care and protection of an adult.
Hae Deum gets bored but she doesn't get in trouble.
She never forgets her way around once she passes once.
If we go somewhere for the first time and she loses me for some reason
she stays right in that spot.
She waits there until I get there no matter how much time passes.
That's the promise between father and daughter.
So you lost Hae Deum at the playground quite well.
At that time, father-in-law...
No, my friend's father-in-law did that, so I was like...
The CEO of the company is Choi Ki Joong.
He's my younger cousin and I don't know what kind of job he would...
Your younger cousin?
Then, he's my brother-in-law.
Watch what you say.
Even to Hae Deum I'm just Ms. Jung Yi Hyun.
You said you'll come and see her if you miss her.
What is that?
Don't get me wrong.
I'll go see her if I want to see her.
It doesn't mean I'll act as her mother.
I asked you to give me time, right?
Until I tell you that I had all the time I needed, don't come to see me.
Don't even say such thing as 'protecting me.'
There's no reason for you to protect me.
Showing up around me saying you'll protect me endangers me more.
I'm trying to protect you because I heard you're in danger.
But you're saying you'll be endangered if I try to protect you.
This is crazy.
What do you mean by you protecting me because someone told you I'm in danger?
What does that mean?
Who said who's in danger?
You said it's dangerous for you if I show up.
Then, why are you giving me a job at your cousin's company?
To keep an eye on you.
Are you sure they didn't sign the contract?
Okay. I'll get there personally. Thank you.
Yoon Hee... No, Yi Hyun... I mean Ms. Jung Yi Hyun has sent me...
Psy is coming to Korea for good.
Wow! This is crazy.
Our Bro Psy's record. You know we can't let anyone else take him, right?
Move!
Geez, I've never seen anyone that rowdy before in my entire life.
What do you think about this, Managing Director Choi?
Can't you hear me?
If I have an opinion... Will you accept it?
Ultimately, it is your decision.
I'm asking because it's related to your wife's future.
You said you'll see the presentation first.
I thought you've already decided, so I didn't think about it.
What did you think before I decided to see the presentation?
What did you think?
Rather than facing that person everyday at work, I'd rather wish to divorce her.
And the reason?
When we first got married, people whispered that we were a like a fool
marrying a smart princess considering that she graduated from the top
of the class in the best known university in the U.S.
and I barely graduated from a much lesser known university here.
If she goes out to the society
people will know how much better she is than her husband... and how much...
Never mind. You can stop.
Tell Sun Young. To cancel the rehearsal.
Pardon?
Tell her that I've approved her to work, so I don't need a rehearsal.
Tell her to officially make the presentation in front of the people concerned.
I mean, Chairman. How could you...
How could you say that right before Ki Tae's face?
I guess Ki Tae's wife is adjusting fast because Yi Hyun is smart.
I guess I'll see what the two smart women can accomplish.
In return of a lousy son, I have a smart niece and a smart daughter-in-law.
That's the only fortunate part.
Dear.
Dear!
Yes, Yi Hyun.
I got the permission.
I can't believe it.
Even if you don't wish to become pregnant
since your body is too weak, let's at least try to get healthier.
I'll give you medicine to rejuvenate your weak spirit, so please take it well.
Okay?
Father and Mother, I will be back.
We have so many people to meet, so let's move quickly.
Sun Young should move with Soo Chang, right?
Then, I'll need to weed out the recruiting crew.
Let's call each other when the work is done.
What?
Are you guys already done?
[Hong Hae Deum]
Yes, Ki Tae.
Where are you now?
Raise the volume!
Why are they making me stressed out!
That brat speaks so rudely to someone older.
- Geez, you stupid jerk... - What?
It's close to six now, so let me take you back to your work.
To take my daughter from her kindergarten, we'd better hurry.
So hang tight, Boss.
You drive so well!
Step on it! Speed up!
Come in.
Here I am, Ki Tae.
What's it about?
I have a meeting soon, so you need to send me out quick.
Sit down.
Since you're busy, let me ask you straight up.
Yes, I like it.
Straight to the point.
Who is Hong Kyung Doo?
Who is Hong Hae Deum?
Who are they?
Say it.
I guess it's difficult for you to answer, right?
You know the answer already.
You're asking after you found out everything, aren't you?
You don't need to worry now.
I'm not planning to tell the Chairman yet.
Well, it's embarrassing for an older cousin
to tell the elders that my younger cousin's behavior has been indiscreet.
What are you going to do?
Answer me.
What are you planning to do?
What are you going to do?
What?
If you ask me that, I can't help but to answer I don't know.
But, you're not wondering what I plan to do about it, are you?
Is that so?
Then, what am I curious about?
You're wondering what you can get from me with that card.
Really? I am?
What do you want from me?
It's nice for you to tell me straight forwardly.
I can say this without a burden then.
I'd like it if you're not around our house.
If you hadn't tempted Sun Young, I wouldn't have shaken out this card yet.
That's too bad, Yi Hyun.
It's either you die or you take a turn for the worse.
You are... so pitiful.
What?
I didn't tempt her out.
It's by Sun Young's will.
Do you think Sun Young can't make it through without me?
If you wished to stop Sun Young through me, you've failed, Ki Tae.
And, as for me, I won't leave because you ask me to leave.
Sit down.
Thank you, Ki Tae.
My head felt like it was about to explode.
But you helped me sort it out at once.
Sit down!
Is this Hae Deum?
Hae Deum.
Yes.
Hand.
I came to answer your question from before.
I thought so.
Hae Deum.
Yes.
Shall we sit?
Hae Deum.
Yes.
I think I... I think I gave birth to you.
I brought you into this world.
Uncle Tae Man's dog had babies too.
As many as 10 of them.
Puppies were sucking on the mother dog's milk.
They were so cute that I wanted to take one of them.
But he said the puppies shouldn't be apart from its mother when they're too little.
So he told me to take one after they grow a little bit.
Ma'am.
Yes.
Do you have milk too?
All moms have it.
You don't?
Hae Deum.
Yes.
I... don't remember why... Why I left you.
I can't remember that yet.
Although I don't remember...
Right now... I'm... so indescribably... sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry, Hae Deum.
Are you sad?
I'm sorry.
Wipe it.
Excuse me.
I was recommended by Ms. Kim Ji Young to see Ms. Kang Young Hye.
Then, I'll get going now.
Wait! Wait!
Sit. Sit.
Look at this.
Bugatti. You know this car, right?
This is the car that I really want to have.
And McLaren F1.
There was only one in Korea.
Do you know who owned it?
My brother. My brother. My brother!
And let's see...
Boss.
Yes.
You don't have any friends, do you?
Yes.
How did you know?
Is it obvious I'm a loner?
You already forgot all about being so mad earlier for not being able to meet Psy, right?
How did you know?
It looks like Yoon Hee sent me here to look after you.
Yoon Hee?
It's nothing. Let me get off now for today and I will look after you tomorrow.
You stop right there.
Hae Deum is with Yoon Hee right now.
So I need to get going.
What did you say your name is?
Hong...
Hong Kyung Doo.
Hong Myung Doo.
Hey, Hong!
We haven't decided what your job is at my company, right?
Am I not a driver?
You can drive for me if you feel like it.
I've invited a band called Alice Mcperen and it's a standing concert up to 150 people.
For four days concert, it's 450 people.
To break even, I need 381 people.
But the ticket sold so far is...
It really hurts my heart.
100 people.
At least 281 tickets have to be sold for me not to lose money.
Right?
Yes.
Go sell them.
What?
Why? You don't want to?
It's not that I don't want to, but how...
As for Alice, I only know Alice in 'Alice in Wonderland' that my daughter reads.
How can I sell this Alice that I've never seen before?
I'm not asking you to sell Alice show tickets to 'Beatles' fans.
Why all the fuss?
Hey, I heard you're capable enough
to have people buy a new sign even though they changed it the day before.
That was something I did briefly.
Yoon Hee told you all sorts of things.
What did you...
What did you just say?
Sign?
Yes, sign.
I heard you were the king of sales?
Yi Hyun said so last night...
She told me never to show that I knew...
I must be crazy. Stupid! Stupid!
She played so much until she was sweating.
She must've been tired.
I have something to tell you.
I'll put her down and come back, so wait here.
You shouldn't leave her alone.
Do you have someone to watch her?
I heard you've been sleeping at the spa.
Is there someone to watch her there?
Tell me.
You said you have something to say.
Shall I say it first?
No, I will do it first.
Give me Hae Deum.
I want to take Hae Deum with me.
What?
I was going to take her when Hae Deum told me about the spa earlier.
But I held it in because I knew I shouldn't.
Of course you would say no.
But, think about it.
Hae Deum is a special kid.
If she gets a good education in a good environment, she could do so much...
Let go.
Let go and talk.
I can't believe it, Yoon Hee.
I can't believe that we're talking about this.
You're asking me to give up Hae Deum to you?
It wasn't long ago when you said you didn't know her!
That you didn't bear Hae Deum!
Go.
I won't appear before you.
Don't show before me either.
I'll raise her well.
I'll raise Hae Deum very well.
I'll raise her well and then...
Did someone say something bad will happen if Hae Deum is with me?
That she'll be ruined?
Will she not become a great person if she's with me?
With Hae Deum's talent, she can belong to the most elite group of the world.
Do you know how much money I had to spend for college?
Just the tuition alone, Harvard costs more than $50,000 a year.
Let's say it's $50,000 and the exchange rate is 1118.80 won per dollar
then it's 55,940,000 won.
Even if you graduate within four years
it's 223,760,000 won.
Do you only need the tuition?
A small apartment's monthly rate is $1,600 a month.
It's $19,200 a year.
Even with a ridiculous assumption of 0% inflation within 4 years
So... Were you happy?
What did you say?
After spending all that money in education, were you happy?
If you studied so happily and returned to Korea, why did you climb that cliff?
Why is that I who spent $5 in education
and you who spent $50,000 both tried to jump off the same cliff?
I who lived worse off than dust
in Chungju and you who gloriously studied in Harvard whatever...
Why did we fight over the same spot to die?
I just can't understand, Yoon Hee.
If you know, answer me.
I don't even know why I did it.
I don't remember why I tried to die.
I don't even know, so why do you act so smart pretending to know?
I can't remember!
But you remember that I used to work for the sign company?
Did the memory come back
or did you lie from the beginning that you couldn't remember?
Yoon Hee. My mother used to be a maid at someone's house to raise me.
My mother had to treat way younger rich kids like princess and prince.
You know, Yoon Hee, it hurt me so much.
So I threw a fit at my mother.
Mother, please don't work as someone's maid.
I was about to go crazy and I yelled at her
'Please don't be subservient, Mother!'
Do you know what my mother told me?
'Kyung Doo. I'm not stealing or robbing someone but I'm doing this to put food
in my kid's mouth. What's the big deal about being subservient?
It's to put food my kid's mouth...
While I was living with you, for the first time in my life
I had someone to take responsibility over...
Just to sell a sign, I ran all kinds of lowly errands for the business owners.
Then I kept thinking this for Yoon Hee, your food and that gave me energy.
For my baby, whether I sell dumplings or signs or be a driver... don't sneer at me.
Don't look down on me.
You shouldn't do that.
If you do, you'll be punished by the heavens, Yoon Hee.
So... Were you happy?
Yi Hyun, he said I can't work.
If I work, you'll be ruined.
He told me to work if I want to ruin you.
Yi Hyun. What does this mean?
Why would you be ruined if I work?
Yi Hyun. Why would you be ruined?
I won't be ruined, Sun Young.
Ki Tae. I thought it'd have been easier if you did it for me. Why didn't you do it yet?
Neither Sun Young nor I will be ruined.
Uncle, Aunt. Are you sleeping?
I have something important to tell you.
I will wait at the study.
What are you trying to do?
Self-destruction, Ki Tae.
Can't someone accept my love?
I'm Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa!
While I was away from home, I gave birth to a child.
What did you just say?
While I was away from home, I gave birth to a child.
What is she saying?
That's what I mean, Chairman.
She hasn't done this for a while.
Is she sleep-talking again?
I must bring that child.
Please help me.
I'm a scum, Sun Young.
I took advantage of someone.
I don't know what it was about.
In my darkest hour, I snatched his time, his soul, and his future.
I rested easy and dumped him.
And now, I'm even trying to snatch his child from him.
I was so afraid to reveal that I'm her mother, but I keep thinking about the child every day.
I want to see her every moment.
When that child ran into my arms for the first time, when that little arms hugged me
tight... It was the greatest comfort in the world. It gave me comfort.
At that time, when I woke up across
street from our home and felt my breast filled with milk.
If I could go back to that time, I would nurse her, change her diaper
listen to her babble, and teach her how to talk... teach her how to walk...
I want to live out the lost time from the beginning, Sun Young.
There has been no such shameless person like you in our family.
I'm going to bring that child, Aunt.
You sly thing.
Unfortunately, it seems that you're a must-have talent for Chairman.
After such atrocity, he told me not to chase you out.
Since he says so, I can't kick you out but that child is not allowed.
That child won't be allowed in even in my grave.
Then, I will leave this house.
An accident due to a poor construction cannot be tolerated.
Replace the person in charge and get rid of the source of problem first.
Do you get it? Get rid of it instantly!
What is this?
Ki Tae, leave.
Director Park, leave too.
Leave right away!
What is it?
Who are you telling them to get rid of this time, Chairman?
What are you talking about?
I can't pray anymore.
No matter how many times I pray and pray...
There's a sin that can't be forgiven.
Are you going to commit that sin twice?
You can't! No, Honey.
As if it's not enough that you caused
Yi Hyun's father's death, are you trying to get rid of that child as well?
And getting Ki Tae involved?!
No! Who did that to who?
Don't do it.
Don't do anything anymore!
Won't you shut up!
Let the child in and get rid of the father...
So, the father disappeared.
Are you going to do the same thing again?
Honey, I'm scared.
I can't bear to live because I'm so afraid what great punishment awaits us.
Father-in-law!
Father! Father!
Yoon Hee took Hae Deum.
While I was away, she... took Hae Deum.
