When a Man Loves
- It's beautiful. - Thank you.
- Can I try a veil that stands out more? - Okay, one moment.
What the hell are you doing Baek Sung Joo?
I won the game. So you should give up on me and find a nice girl.
We're printing the wedding invitations. I'll send you one. You don't really need to come though.
This will make you and Tae Sang unhappy.
Why do you do everything to be unhappy?
I'm happy for the first time after my mother passed away.
What? Are you crying?
I will have a really big wedding present for you. Look forward to it.
Then your son came. He started the fight saying not to mistreat his mother.
I think it led to his accidental death.
That's not true. It can't be.
Your son even admitted that he went outside to fight him. He went missing after that day.
Actually, I did it. I killed him.
- Mrs. Han! - Really!
So take me! My son didn't do anything wrong. He doesn't even know him.
One second. My cousin wouldn't kill someone.
She's lying to cover her son.
Take me.
President Han from the Golden Tree was summoned
as a suspect for the murder of the man found.
Han is denying the accusations, but his testimony does not sound credible...
I have to go.
The police are still leaving the case open for possibilities.
She's lying isn't she? I heard the evidence and his testimony do not match.
I don't know.
Is Han getting kicked out of the Golden Tree without a penny?
Honey, come out.
It's nothing good to make a fuss about.
Did you see this coming?
Han and his mom got involved in such a terrible thing!
Don't turn your back on him just because he's having a hard time.
They think that it's a fake confession.
You hated him so much. Why are you on his side all of a sudden?
I'm not taking his side. It's just obvious that he's trying to protect his mother.
He's forgiving his mother that left him. It's so pitiful.
Why did she do this to ruin her son's life?
He's still a thug and I don't like him.
But this wasn't Han's fault.
What's going to happen to the company?
How should I know? Come out and unpack with me.
Han is going to be fine. Just hope that he will be.
- What about the other pages? - That's it about Jae Hee.
There are two more pages. They are Chang Hee's personal matters. I can't show you.
Is that letter...?
I'm sorry for coming here without calling you first.
What's going on?
When the detectives came to your place, I thought that you were involved in this.
That's why I was scared of you, and didn't like you.
But now I think that the rest of the letter that Chang Hee wrote mentions this.
Why does that matter to you?
Because it's not looking good for you.
It's none of your business.
Frankly, I'm being selfish about it.
I want to pay you back for having wrong thoughts about you.
And why do you want to do that?
Show me the rest of the letter.
I have no intention of showing that. So go back.
I'm not feeling good about this.
I feel bad.
Did you pick the dress?
There are just so many pretty ones. I can't choose.
I picked your tuxedo too. Go try it on.
Do you have time tonight?
Yes.
What are you doing here, Mi Do?
It was nothing. Bye.
Mi Do!
I'm getting married to Sung Joo.
Oh my. Aren't you even going to say congratulations?
Congratulations.
Congratulations on your wedding.
Thank you. Tae Sang, you want to see the dress?
Send me the invitation.
I'd like to attend if it's okay with you.
Thank you. I will send you one.
I tried on many cocktail dresses. Take a look.
They're pretty.
[Delete]
I've made a mistake.
I remember your face.
I have hair, a toothbrush, and other things that you need to check if he's your son.
Why did you lie to me back then?
I was a fool.
Jae Hee was all I had as family.
I couldn't stand it.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't considerate enough.
Please take a good care of Jae Hee.
I think I will be leaving him for a while.
Leave him? Jae Hee is my son. His brother is also my son.
I have a lot to pay for.
Just the fact that he was suspected of a murder did enough damage to the firm.
This is enough of a reason for Han to resign.
There is no evidence.
I will only buy or invest in the company on the sole condition that Han remain president.
We'd like to nominate Lee Jae Hee as the new C.E.O.
Then we won't be sponsoring.
Is there a particular reason that you're pushing for Han Tae Sang?
Yes there is.
What is it? Please tell us.
Han is the man who made this company.
You don't want to wait for that man. Instead, you're trying to sell the company without him.
That's enough for me today.
I'm sorry for asking someone else's bride to come out so late.
Your voice tells me that you didn't call me out just to waste my time.
What would you like as your wedding present?
The biggest present you can give me is to not ruin my wedding.
Why would I ruin your wedding? I will let you go with a broken heart.
I'm going to ask the executives I'm close with to stop Han's resignation.
I'm going to protect him no matter what.
The Golden Tree lost half of their revenue.
He will try to quit for the sake of the company, no matter what you do.
How pitiful. If Han didn't kill that man, he must feel that this is really unfair.
Did you do it?
You think I'm that crazy?
You know something, don't you?
If there's something I can do that you never could, it's convincing 1000 shareholders...
that'll make a great wedding present, no?
Tell me, please!
You remember that night?
What the hell are you doing?
- Who are you? - Come out!
- I'm Hong Ja's son. - Huh?
Then take your mother.
Don't you talk about her like that.
Like what?
She left her husband and son. She's no good.
Have you seen Tae Sang?
Dae Hwan is your boyfriend. Why are you looking for Han?
- Where did he go? - He may do something foolish!
Are you that worried?
Tae Sang!
Who the hell are you? Huh?
Who the hell are you?
Hey! Hey!
Tae Sang! Tae Sang!
Tae Sang! Are you alright?
You bastard!
Why did you do that to Tae Sang?
Tae Sang. I'm going to take him to the hospital, okay?
Is that true?
Why would I make this up?
The police will get all the evidence to point at Han.
No one will believe this.
Go to the police and tell them. Please.
Give me a wedding photo with you looking beautiful wearing your dress as a gift.
- I will. - I also have one more request.
I will ask that on the day of the wedding.
When are you going to tell the police?
It's a wedding present so I will do it on your wedding day.
I will keep my word.
Are you asleep Mi Do? Mi Do!
What are you doing here?
I wanted to thank you for finding my brother.
I just went to see Tae Min.
Really?
Thanks to you.
Your hands are really warm.
Because I held yours.
I'm sad for some reason.
Did you write that?
Yeah, 'You're like the person I read the saddest book with.'
That's me.
Why are you erasing it? I took so much time to pick that.
Close your eyes. There's something I want to write for you.
Okay.
Turn around and close your eyes. Don't peek.
Okay, tell me when you're done.
Are you done? I'm going to open my eyes. Can I see it?
Why did you not love me back?
[You're like the person I read the saddest book with.]
I must be out of my mind. Why did I have such a dream?
Hi! Did you want 2 bowls?
- Did the owner go somewhere? - She's at the market. She'll be back soon.
Take a seat.
You're getting married now? The company is a mess!
What mess?
Did you really kill the man that lived with your mother?
No.
And even if I have to quit, you can take care of the company.
Tae Min.
Tae Sang, you're here.
Mom.
Let me hug you just once.
Just once! I will let you go after that my son!
I called the orphanage when I was 20 and told them that Han Tae Min was dead.
Just in case you were looking for me. I wanted to hurt you.
Why did you do that?
Because I hated you.
Is that why you pretended that you didn't know me?
I hated you for not coming for me.
You could do anything when you were 20.
I'm sorry.
I had a father then.
I didn't know what you were going through.
Did you get lost after coming out to look for me?
I heard that you were staying at our old place.
I took a bus, but then I got beat up by kids in the resting area.
They took my money, and I got hurt.
I could barely speak.
That's when I was adopted.
Tae Min.
Thank you for hugging Mom.
That's good. Look to your left.
That's good. Okay.
You look beautiful.
You never knew?
Where is Han?
He will be here soon.
Oh yeah, the bookstore family moved.
A lot of people are sad.
Why are you telling me that now?
Can't I just be happy today?
Han is going to have to resign.
He didn't go to the board meeting. They are going to vote for his resignation.
That doesn't matter. I'm with him now.
Okay, smile a little bit. Okay that's good.
You look great together. That's good.
Look at each other. In the eyes. Good!
It's on the 7th at 5pm. Please come to congratulate us.
Doesn't eating lunch together like this remind you of the old days?
It does.
- When are you leaving? Has it been decided? - On the 7th.
- But I'm going to postpone it a day. - Why?
I want to go to his wedding at least.
Why are you going to his wedding?
I want to see him get married.
You still have feelings for him.
Whether I like it or not, he was a part of my life.
I want to put an end to this chapter and go to the next.
Tae Sang dwells in your heart.
I put on a foolish act for you.
Back then I thought Han arranged my car accident.
I was lying about not remembering you.
I was trying to protect you from getting hurt.
I once had someone I liked, whom I did everything for to protect.
That's good enough.
How I carried your rice on that day. How I met you in Guam...
I don't regret that at all.
Aren't you going to propose to me?
Propose to me with this.
I can't unlock this until you unlock it for me.
I'm yours now right?
Yes Sung Joo, you're mine.
I will forgive everything you've done to me.
Are you alright?
Roy.
Jae Hee. Will you give me a hug?
Your eyes and nose are just like your mother's.
I still can't believe this.
Your mom's name was Jung Hae.
Lee Jung Hae.
She was beautiful.
I'm a rich man now.
I have 4 sons.
My son, Roy. His brother Tae Sang.
My other son, Jae Hee.
His brother Chang Hee.
I never knew this would happen in my life.
Congratulations father.
Congratulations.
I'm happy to have met you.
But I...
I can't leave my brother.
Mi Do!
I'm going to have a drink with Dad. Come with me.
Sounds good.
Why did you pick so much?
- Let's go shop after we drink. - For your clothes in New York?
No.
- I need clothes to go to a wedding. - Whose wedding?
Why are you going to the wedding? You're even buying a dress to go.
Pick Mi Joon's clothes.
This is good.
Why? You want to see for yourself?
What's that mean? Does that mean you still have feelings?
I don't want to be back with him again.
- I just want to go. - Are you going to run in there and yell, 'I object?'
I never meant for any of this to happen.
- Is someone wearing heat patches? - Me.
I get sore from dancing more than 7 hours a day.
But it still feels good right?
It does. But I have more worries.
What's going to happen to me next? I'm running out of money.
It was your decision.
Yeah. I can't have everything.
You want me to give you an idea for your novel?
What is it?
There was this poor girl.
She wanted to live like other people. Wear nice clothes and go to nice places.
She didn't want to make a scene in the neighborhood for money.
Then someone came and helped her.
She was thankful. For the first time, she didn't have to worry about money.
Then about the time she started to like him
she met the guy she was dreaming about.
So she dumped the nice guy.
And she went to that new guy.
But she didn't find happiness there either?
No, she stayed with the nice guy.
She just forgot about the new guy.
Instead she wrote a letter to him in her diary everyday.
And the nice guy reads it one day.
He was shaking with anger, but he kept it a secret to her.
Because he loved her. Or because he's really a vicious man.
Instead, he gave the diary to the other man after she had died.
And the man cries with a broken heart?
No.
He can't even remember who she was.
That's good.
What if she had gone to the other man instead of the nice man?
Then she would have written a letter to the nice guy everyday.
And that nice guy would remember it as from someone who's obsessive.
That's a terrible story.
No, the nice guy doesn't remember either.
Why is this even more sad to me?
Life and love is all in vain. Is that the message?
I don't know about that. I just had this story in my mind.
Are you regretting right now?
- Regret what? - Nothing. Mr. Seo!
Can you write this?
I don't like this. I'm not going to write it. Here! Toast!
That's good.
Is it too salty?
No, it's good.
I'm sorry Jae Hee.
Thank you for raising me.
I'm going to stay as your brother until I die.
Forgive your brother.
I would have done the same if I were you.
Is he Tae Sang's biological brother?
Yeah.
He's your brother.
Tae Sang cried a lot looking for his brother. Be good to him.
Are you coming to Tae Sang's wedding?
I have a meeting at that time. I will go after the meeting.
Okay.
Cheers.
The board passed the resignation.
Bastards. Of all days, why today?
Mr. Han is okay with it.
Let's not show it in front of him.
Dong Goo.
- Take care of Tae Sang. - What are you talking about?
I'm going to the police station after the wedding.
Why?
I buried that man.
I hope you like it.
If I put this on my desk, you will look like my wife.
I don't care where you put it.
You look beautiful today.
Anyone does on her wedding.
Not anyone.
Keep your word with me.
Of course.
I'm going to the police right now.
- If you do me one last favor. - Say it.
Thank you.
- Thank you for coming. - Congratulations.
- Thanks.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
You're the one that comes to the restaurant.
Congratulations.
Have a great meal.
Tae Sang! Where is your bride?
She's on her way.
Don't go to the wedding. Then I will go to the police and tell them the truth.
Decide.
I'm sorry Sung Joo.
Why are you doing this to me?
You know why.
Can you promise me with your life?
I will.
If you don't go to the wedding.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine. You don't need to worry.
I'm on my way to the police station.
I'm very sorry.
I already told them that I don't want to press charges.
That's wrong even for Jae Hee.
I really didn't know. Some things just solve on its own in life.
I didn't know that and I wanted to take control.
I thought that I was the only one going through hard times.
Forgive me for being ignorant and foolish.
Tae Sang is a great man.
I'm sorry Tae Sang. I just realized that this wasn't the best for both of us either.
But I was the happiest in the world for the last few days. Thank you.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
You have free time on weekdays now?
It feels good.
Did you see the news in the morning? I'm glad that they found you innocent.
The bride didn't call?
She didn't.
I thought you were dating that girl. Ddol's friend's sister.
You weren't?
I was. I liked her a lot.
Did they move?
[You are like the person I read the saddest book with.]
You are like the person I read the saddest book with.
Don't worry about us. Have a great trip.
You finish your novel. Okay?
Okay! I'm writing really fast.
I have a good feeling about this.
Bye Mom. Don't worry about me.
You should text Han that you're leaving.
Stop!
We can video chat everyday. We won't feel like we're apart. I will call you as soon as I get there.
- Mi Do! Good luck! - Good luck to you too.
Bye!
[2 years later]
There.
You should take a break.
You're going to pass out. You haven't slept for 3 days have you?
I'm fine.
Go to Korea when we open.
Have an interview there.
- Me? - Yeah.
Why should I? No.
It's not I who recommended you.
They contacted you first to do it with your father.
Go and be a good daughter.
Okay.
Chang Hee!
Buy me some black noodle!
Here! Have some tofu!
Let's stop eating tofu.
This is the last tofu in Lee Chang Hee's life.
What are you doing here? It's embarrassing.
Just eat your tofu.
Stop nagging.
You bastard!
That's good. Hey! Don't fight today.
You wanted to drink this early?
I thought that you might have plans at night. That's why I wanted to see you early.
It's your birthday today.
Here if you don't like it.
Take it to go.
- I will. - Han will be reinstated. Don't worry.
I know.
He must be getting Asia Star's votes too.
You're really a great woman. Han will never realize that.
Thank you for keeping your word.
That's way back in the day.
When I saw you give up on that wedding, I thought that it will never work for me.
Whether it was an obsession or love, I will let you go now.
This is my last birthday present for you.
Cheers.
[Author's Interview]
I heard that you show your script to your daughter first.
Yes, I do.
My daughter always says that it's good.
I need her to cheer me up like that.
Have you told him that it's good even when it wasn't?
Of course! I always do! So I'm contributing to his work a little.
Had I not lied, a lot of his work would have never come out in the world.
Take a good look around.
When did you open?
About a year ago.
- Are you the owner? - Yes.
Come often.
Can I write a quote that I like on the blackboard outside?
Of course.
[You are like the person I read the saddest book with.]
We should make the second floor into a professional books section.
It will be hard to manage second floor too.
It won't be hard. We just need to hire someone else.
The cost will be greater than the profit.
It's fine. We just need to advertise more.
Who wrote this?
A girl just came by and wrote it.
They are advertising your father's book. Who is the owner?
He's a great man.
[Your eyelash covers mine.] They have the blackboard too.
'Your eyelash covers mine.' What is this?
What do you think? It's like this.
Hey!
[I don't know if I'm looking at you or if you're looking at me.]
Welcome, Mr. Han Tae Sang.
Please take good care of Golden Tree.
Say something, Brother.
- I'm a bit shy. - You want me to say something then?
Stay still right-hand. Say something!
I'm back. I will work harder!
Han Tae Sang!
Thank you for coming.
Congratulations, Mr. Han.
How was Guam?
It was good.
How good was it?
The heat wave was still the same.
Seo Mi Do.
Sleep at home.
I'm going to work here for a week.
Who says that you could without my permission?
Huh?
I'm the owner of the bookstore. I hired the manager here.
Go sleep at home. I won't hire you.
What's the reason? Why won't you hire me?
Because I might like you again.
Please leave.
I don't want to leave.
Why don't you want to go back?
I asked why you don't want to go back.
Because I might like you again.
[When a Man Loves]
[Thank you for watching! Tee Tee & Mi Do]
