Her Legend
She can't remember?
She doesn't remember Jung Soo either?
Yes.
I assume that's Jung Soo?
Yes, that's Jung Soo.
Jung Soo, this is the lawyer from America.
- Say hello. - It's nice to meet you.
Jung Soo.
I swear it wasn't planned.
It just came out of my mouth all of a sudden.
I'm not that conniving to do something like that.
You have to believe me honey.
Let's just think of this as a great opportunity for Kyung Hee.
That woman doesn't remember Jung Soo.
Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?
Do you realize what you've just done?
Honey please, let Kyung Hee take Jung Soo's place.
I want her to study and succeed.
We can't provide that for her. This is the only way.
Please?
Wake up.
There are things in life a person just shouldn't do!
I want to go.
Kyung Hee.
I'm going to America.
Dad.
I want to take Jung Soo's place.
Please let me go.
You guys are both crazy.
Crazy!
I never once liked you dad.
The things that I couldn't have or do...
I blamed it on you.
I hated and resented you so much.
Just this once, please let me go.
I don't want to hate you anymore.
Please let me go and turn a blind eye for me.
I know I haven't been the best father to you.
I don't have the right to even face you...
But how can you even think to do this?
There are parents who will die for their children.
Yet you can't do that for her while you're living?
All you have to do is turn a blind eye for her! Can't you do that for her?
Then what about Jung Soo?
What about poor Jung Soo then?
She's waiting for Mrs. Woo! What are you going to tell her?
I promise to be good to her.
If you agree to this...
I'll be really good to Jung Soo.
I'll treat her as if she's my own child.
I'll think of her as if she's Kyung Hee.
I can even sign a contract if you don't believe me.
Honey, let's send her.
Please let's send her.
I'm home.
What are you guys doing?
Jung Soo, are you hungry?
Do you like curry?
Should we have that for dinner?
Sure, that sounds great.
Let me prep everything for you.
It's alright I'll take care of it.
Go and do your homework.
What's going on?
Uncle's expression doesn't look so good.
Did you cry?
Is everything alright?
Everything's fine. Nothing's going on.
Can't you tell me?
Nothing's going on! Let it go!
It's up to us to make it happen.
Jung Soo had her chance.
Now it's Kyung Hee's turn.
If I have to go to hell for it, then so be it.
My baby deserves it. I'm not scared.
I'm sorry for being late.
Please have a seat.
Here are all the documents you asked for.
Thank you.
Eun Kyung Hee?
Isn't her name Jung Soo? Eun Jung Soo?
That's just her nickname.
Her birth name is Kyung Hee.
My sister-in-law had her outside of marriage.
And my husband named her.
She's been so unlucky throughout her life.
So we decided to go to a shaman, and she said it was because of her name.
Well it was too late to change it on paper...
But we just named her Jung Soo anyways.
Look at where she's at now?
Once she turns 15 she'll have nothing but good luck.
I see.
How many biological children do you have?
- Eun Kyung Ho. You only have a son? - Excuse me?
Yes, that's correct.
I see... I'll go ahead and report this to Director Kim.
Then we'll start the adoption process.
Her name will be changed as well.
- A name change? - Yes.
Director Kim already thinks of her as his own daughter.
What will her name be changed to?
Based on their family name, Kim Seo Hyun.
Kim Seo Hyun?
Kim Seo Hyun...
Kim Seo Hyun?
Kim Seo Hyun...
- I like it. It's unique and classy. - Whatever.
Kyung Hee is 100 times better.
I like it.
How long does the process take?
When can I go to the States?
Why are you in a hurry? Relax.
Your dad and I may not have given you much...
but can't you show a little remorse?
Knowing your name is being changed to Kim Seo Hyun...
feels like a piece of my heart is missing.
You evil brat.
We agreed to do this...
Don't be like that.
Be nice to Jung Soo...
and try to get as much information on that lady.
You can't just go without knowing anything.
She may not remember Jung Soo's face.
But she'll remember the moments that they've had together.
So make sure you get every detail.
Won't they be suspicious of my name as well?
What did the lawyer say?
I told him Jung Soo was a nickname.
The deed is done.
So be prepared for everything.
You're going to the States for what?
Why would she go?
Why is she going to America?
You're spitting, shut your mouth!
She's going there to study.
She'll be staying with your aunt.
What the heck are you talking about?
We don't have an aunt that lives in America.
Yes, we do have an aunt that lives there.
She just immigrated, she's my cousin.
I bragged about how smart Kyung Hee was...
So she told me to send Kyung Hee to study.
With Kyung Hee's grades...
she can get a scholarship and go to college there.
That's why she's going.
Is that good enough for you?
Kyung Hee, you must be happy. You must be so excited.
How many aunts do we have anyways?
First we have an aunt and Jung Soo shows up.
Now we have an aunt in America?
But why is Kyung Hee the only one?
What about me?
Why didn't you tell her about me?
And tell her what?
That you dropped out of high school and have no job?
Should I ask if they have a school for thugs?
At least I can go and do some sightseeing!
Get your act together! You're not going there for leisure.
Mom! Will you stop with the violence!
You know you can go to jail for that?
Call the cops then! Call them! Call!
When is Kyung Hee leaving?
Oh we haven't set a date yet.
Aren't you going to bed?
Congratulations Kyung Hee.
About that lady...
Lady? Who?
The lady that was going to adopt you.
Oh Mrs. Woo?
What was the most memorable time you had together?
Why do you want to know?
Oh you know... just curious that's all.
I just thought you would have some good memories.
Actually they were all good.
We had spaghetti together...
And I remember falling asleep playing hide and seek with her.
Mrs. Woo is a painter too.
She's a painter?
I found out later but she's quite famous too.
Really?
What's her name by the way?
Woo Do Young.
Whenever Mrs. Woo paints...
she always puts her hair up like this...
and she would always hold it up with a brush.
I loved it when she did that.
I told myself I would do that too when I grew up.
It's been eight years now.
Do you still miss her that much?
Of course! I could never forget her.
I can still smell her makeup.
But instead of just missing her... I'm really worried too.
I'm afraid that she's still in a coma.
They say it takes a miracle to come out of it.
And even if she were to come out of it...
she might not remember you.
You think so?
No. There's no way that would happen.
- We made a promise. - Promise?
What promise?
I can't tell you.
It's a secret between Mrs. Woo and I.
That was a long time ago though.
- What is it? - There's no an expiration date for a secret.
No, I can't tell you.
This is perfect.
Since you're going to the States...
Can you find Mrs. Woo for me?
Do you know how big America is?
Yea, that might be tough.
I swear I wrote the right address.
Why would it be wrong?
Aren't you sleepy? Let's go to bed.
Uncle, I know you're sad...
but this is a great opportunity for Kyung Hee.
This is good news, don't drink so much.
Since Kyung Hee's so smart...
she'll go to college as well as graduate school.
And who knows, she could get a Ph.D too.
You should be happy for her.
I haven't been good to you Jung Soo.
Don't say that, Uncle.
Is it because Kyung Hee's the only one going?
I'm just grateful that you even took me in.
I wouldn't dare burden Kyung Hee's aunt like that.
I wouldn't go even if they invited me to.
Uncle, I may not be smart as Kyung Hee...
but I'm going to study hard and do what I want to do.
And when I succeed, I promise to repay you.
What is it that you want to do Jung Soo?
I want to make bags like you, Uncle.
I want to design and make bags.
Why would you want to make bags like me?
Let's end that profession with me.
I want you to be respected and be awed at.
Uncle, I can have all that by making world-renowned designer bags.
I'll make you a promise.
I'm going to work hard...
and become the most famous bag designer in the world.
I'm serious. Promise.
Alright.
Your father is not coming. Don't be sad and just go.
Be careful and make sure to eat well, okay?
Bye, Mom.
- Kyung Hee! - You're such a drama queen.
If you don't want to let her go, send me then.
Go and have a good life.
Start fresh and live the life you've always wanted.
My baby... My precious baby!
Seriously stop with being dramatic. It's so embarrassing.
Kyung Hee!...
My baby... Kyung Hee!...
Seriously, did someone die?
- Stop it, this is embarrassing. - Kyung Hee!
She must be departing now.
Where are my letters?
I told you to send me instead.
Hello, Aunt.
Did Kyung Hee got on the plane well?
Leave her alone. She might explode.
Excuse me, Aunt...
Have you seen my letters at all?
I don't know!
I'm sure it's around somewhere.
What's so special about those letters anyways?
You're so sentimental like your mother.
I don't think my mother threw it away. Try looking again.
Did you misplace it somewhere?20
Mrs. Woo's keys to the cottage was in there, too.
If I don't find it, I won't be able to go anymore.
It'll be Parent's Day soon.
So, I made some carnations in school.
I made one for my uncle and my aunt.
And I made one for you and Mr. Kim, too.
Mrs. Woo...
You did not forget about the promise we made right?
I know she'll keep the promise we made.
If by chance you and I are not together...
We promised to look for each other by the sea...
Every year on that day we first met.
When you come to Seoul, you won't forget, right?
If you can't come this year...
Or even the next year...
and even the year after that.
I'll still be waiting for you.
Eight years later
Mrs. Woo...
You didn't come again.
You haven't forgotten our promise, have you?
Their sales are highest among adolescents.
The possibility of success is therefore higher.
We need a luxury item that is suitable to them.
We've collaborated with Sae Kyung on the Project Luna.
They represent clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories.
Among all the fashion distributors...
in addition to the handbag business
they are the leading company, and we'll be a part of it.
Good job.
Don't forget, the success of this project...
depends on you, Manager Kang.
I understand.
By the way, is Jin Hoo arriving today?
Yes. I'll be picking him up at two o'clock today.
Wow, it's like he just stepped out of a fashion magazine.
That bag, I've never seen anything like it.
He's coming this way!
He looks a little serious...just do it!
Eun Jung Soo...Fighting!
- Hello! - Me?
- Yes - Hello... who are you?
This might be a little awkward but...
Can I take a look at your bag?
My bag? Why?
Well, I'm actually a bag designer.
I've never seen a design like that before.
If you don't mind I like to take a closer look.
I'd really appreciate it.
Actually, I do mind.
Please... can I just take a glimpse of it?
You design bags, right?
Why? So, you can copy it?
Copy? No, it's not like that.
I wanted to see what the trends are and use it as a reference.
References you say...
You see the more you refer to it... It becomes a copy and a fake.
- Then can you tell me what brand it is? - There is no brand.
Did you buy it at a market then?
Somewhere local? Wait, is it overseas?
No wonder, I've never seen anything like it.
This better be fast.
- Here, you have exactly ten seconds. - Yes.
One, two, three...four
- Five, six.. - Ok, ten seconds!
- I need to look inside, too. - Seven...
Secretary Seo.
Welcome home, Sir.
- I'll take a taxi. Take the ladies to the cottage. - Yes, Sir.
Father's not doing well. I should go with you.
The drive is too strenuous for you. I want you to go home.
I'll be alright, I really want to see my father.
Dad, let my mom go.
Alright. Here, let me take her.
It's been awhile, have you come to pick someone up?
Yes... I heard President Kim is not doing so well.
We're on our way to hospital. Good day.
It's good to see you.
- Me, too. - I'll be going now.
Jin Hoo!
- Min Ki! - Sorry, did you wait too long?
Min Ki, she's this small, dressed like a hick and has a camera.
She's carrying a crappy camera. Have you seen her?
- No, who is she? - A thief!
Some weird woman kept on asking to see my bag.
She kept on bothering me so I let her.
And now my wallet is gone.
Does this kind of thing happen a lot in Korea?
- Did you get pickpocketed? - Yes!
Man, she really got me.
Did you have your wallet in the bag?
No, it was in my back pocket.
I think she stole it while asking to see my bag.
That doesn't make sense.
Pickpockets don't blatantly show their face when stealing.
That woman is a pro.
That bag totally made my day!
- Hey, watch it! - Sorry! I'm so sorry!
Sorry! I'm so sorry! Sorry!
What's with the sudden brake?
Sorry! Sorry!
Sorry, ma'am.
Min Ki! It's that woman over there!
- Mrs. Woo... - Just go.
Hey!
- What are you doing? - What? What are you doing?
Where do you think you're going!
- What is your problem! - You stole my wallet!
There. Do you still think I'm a thief?
Of course, you don't have it on you.
You probably stashed it or gave it to someone else.
Officer, I didn't do it!
Look. All I did was take pictures of bags.
It does seem like that...
But we have to report...
And we just had another pickpocketing incident as well.
We'll need your cooperation on the investigation.
Yes, please do that. And give her the most severe punishment.
I didn't steal your wallet!
Officer, I didn't do it! I'm not the one!
Officer, I really didn't do it.
- What is it? - Pickpockets, Sir.
- Sit down! - Man, let us go!
Do Jin Hoo?
Yes, I'm Do Jin Hoo.
You should investigate and see if they're working together.
- Hey do you guys know this woman? - Hey!
So, you didn't steal it then.
I apologize for the mistake.
The apology should be from him.
The only thing I'm sorry about is the misunderstanding.
In which you caused it.
So, why do I have to apologize?
Jin Hoo...
'I'm sorry.' Are we good now?
I don't understand English.
Can you say it Korean, please.
That's your problem not mine.
If you don't understand, go find a dictionary.
So, you design bags?
Where do you work?
Dong Dae Mun.
'I'm sorry.'
I swear!...
Are you crazy!
That might've been Mrs. Woo...
I'll return in 30 minutes.
- We'll let you know if anything happens. - Yes.
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
- Dr. Kang. - Hello.
Did you come straight from the airport?
You must've been really worried.
Thanks for taking care of him.
I did what I can.
Do Young, I'm so happy to see you're doing well.
It's because of you Dr. Kang.
Thank you so much.
Seo Hyun, say hello...
This is my friend, Dr. Kang.
Is this the young lady..
that was with you at the time of the accident?
Yes that's right. Do you remember her?
Of course, I remember.
She was begging us to save you.
Goodness, she's all grown up now.
How are the negotiations going?
If they're not being agreeable, I suggest you back out.
Yes, Sir.
I want Shin Hwa group to be portrayed for it's values...
That our company is true to it's philosophy.
Know what our goal is and go from there.
I'll get right on it, Sir.
Mr. Choi!
Jin Hoo!
It's so good to see you!...
I mean Director Choi.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm glad to see you're back.
Do you still work out every morning, Mr. Choi?
- Do you still solve math when you're frustrated? - Yes.
Math is the best stress reliever.
Let's go see the president.
Your grandson Do Jin Hoo is reporting for duty, Sir!
- You cheesy rascal. - Grandpa, I missed you!
I missed you so much.
You missed me so much that you waited three years to see me?
Director Choi, you didn't tell my grandpa about London?
Of course, I did.
You did great getting a contract with the Royal company.
The president was very pleased.
Now I want you to show me if that was solely your own effort.
I don't understand...
We're launching a new brand...
The president wants you to take charge of it.
- Say what? - I've already announced you as the general manager.
You're starting next week.
Grandpa, it's been three years. Can't you give me a break?
What are you planning, Grandpa?
Just do as I say you rascal.
Sometimes, I wonder if you're really my grandfather.
If only that woman was really Mrs. Woo.
If she was that healthy...
I wouldn't mind her forgetting about me.
- Oh my gosh who is this? - Guess who?
Kyung Ho!
You can eat stuff like this?
This is a special order.
You're so tacky sometimes.
Here.
That's pretty good!
Kyung Ho. Don't sell fake bags anymore.
How many times has it been now?
Hey, do you know how much money you can make?
Besides, life is all about taking risks right?
Don't bother seeing me if you get arrested again.
I'm so scared.
I guess I'll have to stop then.
You went by Aunt's home. Did you think she was here?
Nope, the total opposite of that.
I came here to avoid her.
She'll just cuss me out anyway.
That's because you deserve it!
Mom! You haven't seen your son for five months!
- Get your act together this time! - Seriously.
No one's at the store. Get back to work!
- Rest well madam. - Thank you.
- Thank you for your help today. - Not at all.
What's all that?
You've been coming here?
Yes.
My beautiful, beautiful daughter...
I'm sorry for making you wait so long.
I promised to always be with you...
I'm so sorry.
Is your bedroom upstairs?
Give us a tour of your room.
Come in Kyung Hee.
Kyung Hee! Kyung Hee!
Please... Please...
Yes, hello. I recently applied for a designing position...
Are the results out for the first round?
My ID number is 135. My name is Eun Jung Soo.
Yes... Yes...
Yes. Have a nice day.
Thank you for coming.
May I introduce Shin Hwa Group's President's grandson.
My name is Do Jin Hoo.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Wait, please.
Manager Kang will you please introduce me?
This is manager Kim Seo Hyun.
And Director Kim's daughter.
My name is Kim Seo Hyun.
My name is Do Jin Hoo.
I studied design in New York.
And I worked for a fashion company before I arrived in Korea.
- If you studied in New York... - That's correct.
Manager Kang is my colleague.
I followed him around a lot in school.
I'm in charge of the Luna project by Shin Hwa group.
Since it's grandfather's funeral...
I'll discuss the details with you later.
This is all the work and research I've done for the Luna project.
Please take a look at it.
Please personally take a look at it.
Yes.
Tell that punk not to come home!
Kyung Hee is that you?
You're Kyung Hee aren't you?
Kyung Hee.
My baby!
My baby! My baby!
My baby! How have you been?
When did you get back?
My precious baby! My baby!
Let me take a look at you! Your face... My baby!
My precious baby, how could you just leave without saying hi?
You can be so cold... heartless.
You're so beautiful.
You've grown well. Lovely.
And your studies? Did you study as much as you wanted?
Is that lady good to you?
Yes.
She's not suspicious of anything right?
Yes.
Why didn't you call at all?
You could've sent a letter, you know.
I was worried sick over you.
I was worried that you were being scolded by her.
I was so stressed by the thought of that!
How's dad?
He's the same as always.
We've set up shop in Dong Dae Mun.
Your dad makes the bags and I deliver them.
We're doing pretty well.
- What about Kyung Ho? - Oh, please don't even bring him up!
He's been arrested several times.
He just got released from jail.
I can't believe how different you two are.
And Jung Soo?
She's trying to be a bag designer...
but she keeps failing her exams.
Are you here by yourself?
No, we all came together.
Together?
So that lady came too?
Grandfather passed away.
The company needs to be taken care of...
So we came back.
I'm glad to hear that.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad.
I'm so happy that I'll be able to see you.
- Mom. - What is it honey?
This will be the last time I see you.
What do you mean?
There's no Eun Kyung Hee anymore.
Why are you acting like this?
Kyung Hee.
I may have not been the best mom...
but I'm still your mother.
For the past nine years...
there hasn't been a day that I haven't thought of you.
You are my pride and joy.
Yet, you're saying you don't want to see me anymore?
I can't live with two identities anymore.
I'm not just Eun Kyung Hee, but Eun Jung Soo as well.
I have to pretend to be like her.
It's too hard, Mom. I can't do it anymore.
I'm going to live as Kim Seo Hyun from now on.
I want to start fresh as Kim Seo Hyun.
And your mother? What about her?
She's dead. Whether it's from an accident or cancer...
My parents would like to have dinner with you guys next week.
I'll call you with the time and place later.
I'm going in, okay?
What's this?
You guys are going to a wedding right?
Use part of this as a wedding gift.
And the rest is for you to go on a date.
It's alright, we have money.
I know. Uncle have a good time with aunt alright?
Thank you for coming.
How have you been?
It's been awhile, how have you been?
Very well, thank you.
Please excuse me. It's good to see you both.
It's alright. We're just happy to see that you're well again.
Please sit.
Did you know Seo Hyun is very talented with her hands?
Yes. She takes after her fa...
It seems to be a family trait.
Isn't that interesting?
So I see she got her talent from her uncle then.
She majored in designing bags in America.
Seo Hyun graduated with top honors at one of the most famous art schools in America.
She can't stop whenever she talks about Seo Hyun.
We're starting a new business within the company...
and Seo Hyun will be in charge of it.
Do you think she's capable of such a thing?
She may look fragile but she's actually quite tough.
She's going to do great.
Honey, you're gushing.
I guess so.
Oh my. Thank you for raising her so well.
No, if anything thank you for giving her to us.
- Let's go in. - Goodbye then.
You're just going to go?
- Come in for a minute. - I'm just going to go.
I made your favorite stew.
Have a little of that and go.
I don't like that stew anymore.
Alright. I won't make it anymore.
Just eat it this once and go.
She says she doesn't like it anymore.
You should go in too, Mom.
Kyung Hee... Kyung Hee!
Kyung Hee!
Blood niece or not? I don't have the means to care for her.
People like us live paycheck to paycheck.
We don't have the money to feed another mouth.
Honey, what are you thinking?
Seo Hyun's aunt...
She's changed quite a bit don't you think?
Before I questioned if she was really Seo Hyun's aunt or not.
And you were desperate to get her out of that house.
Was I?
She's a totally different person now.
They were going through tough times back then.
I will do a quick briefing right now.
Luna project's work site will be opening next week...
We have very talented, world renowned designers however...
It's company policy to hire new and fresh talent as well.
Then I'll go ahead and talk about the qualifications.
During the general screening process, first we'll look at their documents.
Then their portfolio and drawing samples. Afterward, we'll conduct an interview.
How about we base it solely on their portfolio and sample?
Only on their portfolio and sample?
And disregard any paperwork?
What are the benefits?
That we'll be able to find true talent.
All of these applicants will have the same grades and education.
Come to think of it, all of you guys have the same background.
Yes, that's true.
You need a sense of style, but technique is important as well.
Everyone's technique will be the same. We need something different.
Good. Let's use your method and find some new talent.
Let's do everything blind. Age, sex, experience, the whole nine yards.
That's actually not a bad idea.
- Please start the process Ms. Gu. - Yes, right away.
- You're here? - Where were you?
I sold a bag while you were gone.
That was 35,000 won.
Can I get a thank you please?
Thank you.
No education or experience necessary!
It's based solely on your portfolio and sample!
And on top of that, it's Shin Hwa Group!
- It really is! - It's perfect timing!
You have your portfolio right?
It's packed! But I need to organize it.
I bet you do! Here take this.
Why are there so many flyers?
Less competition for you, my friend!
You're the best!
Wow, how pretty!
Here's my application... and my portfolio.
You're number 523.
Thank you.
- Hello. - Hello.
Is there a particular item you're looking for?
No, I'll just look around if you don't mind.
- Take your time. - Thank you.
Hello.
This is where we show all the new products.
We have permission to use this room for the Luna project, right?
The President has high expectations.
Luna's show room will not be announced.
It will be very selective and by invitation only.
Besides it's not luxury if everyone can have it.
- This display is too plain.. - Kyung Hee!

What are you going to do if she gets hired?
I'm going to make sure she doesn't.
What is that?
I can't believe you sent all of these letters!
What do I do if Jung Soo comes to the cottage?
I feel like she's always watching me.
Do you know Eun Jung Soo?
Are you sure you didn't do anything?
You're the suspect and I'm the victim here.
So, cut the act.
You've come to see me?
Is that you?
The designers need an assistant.
You have a lot of time on your hands, right?
- Start working the day after tomorrow. - Thank you!
