Melody of Love
Episode 29
There's a guy you like?
Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
Why should you be?
I should have told you this sooner.
Don't be sorry about that.
I was excited and happy while waiting for your answer.
I'm glad I got it.
I should say yes.
But I like this other guy so much.
You must really like him.
Yeah.
May I ask who he is?
I'll tell you later.
He doesn't know how I feel.
No?
No.
I know I'm being a fool.
He doesn't even know how I feel but I've hurt you because of him.
Yeah. I thought you were smart but I guess you're a fool, like me.
Now let us fools have a drink.
Are you reading an article about me again?
I don't like that they're talking about you.
You know how reporters like to do that.
They know better than anyone that I'm not interested in politics.
They're making news out of nothing.
I'm home.
Grandson, you're home.
Yes, grandpa.
You're here.
How did your trial go today?
I didn't make any mistakes.
Good job.
People said you put up a good defense.
Good.
Does that mean he's got the upper hand?
We don't know that yet.
The wife's side lacks evidence but Suim is very good at her job.
I hear she put up a good fight.
Suim seems very sure of herself
and quit smart, not like other kids these days.
She won't be easy to fight in court.
She did get to me a little.
I got a little scared up there.
But people said you did a good job.
That means you really did.
It's only the beginning.
Hyeonu.
Make some time tomorrow night.
Why?
For the date.
I told you there's someone I like.
I don't believe you.
It's 7 tomorrow. Don't be late.
How are you any different from dad?
What?
He's forced me to live my life the way he wants it to.
And you hated that about him.
Now look what you're doing.
You don't care at all how I feel.
You're forcing me to marry whom you chose.
When have I not let you have your way?
This is the first time I'm asking you.
Is that so much to ask?
Mom.
You can meet her first.
We can talk after. Can't you do that for me?
Hyeonu.
Girls would line up for a chance to date Hyeonu.
What is she like?
She's a college professor.
She was just named assistant professor.
What is her family like?
Her father is a university president.
Ow!
Did you hurt yourself?
I don't know. Leave me alone.
Why weren't you more careful?
You've ironed clothes before.
I'm tired of this work.
What's gotten into you now?
Why didn't you study more in school?
What?
Why couldn't you have become a professor?
If you were a professor, Suim would have a much better background.
Why couldn't you have been one?
Didn't you get top grades in your school?
Yeah.
I could have been First Lady if I hadn't met you.
It's not too late now.
Our president is a woman.
Don't you know that?
Why are you so sensitive today?
Let's call it a day.
Go on.
Let me see you go inside first.
Taegyeong.
Nothing's changed between us, right?
Of course not.
I'm sorry I'm being so selfish.
But I don't want to lose you.
You're very special to me.
Suim.
I realize you have feelings for someone else,
but I can't get over you that quickly.
Taegyeong.
Let's just do what our hearts tell us.
That's all I can say for now.
Suim.
Oh, mom...
Hello.
Hello, Taegyeong.
I heard you creeping out.
You were with Taegyeong?
We had to talk.
Why couldn't you talk during the day?
Why did you call her out so late?
I'm sorry.
Why don't you come in for tea?
But it's so late.
He came all the way here.
It's late. I should go.
Come by some other time.
Goodnight.
- Bye. - Bye.
Why did you go out to see him?
Couldn't you tell him you were sleeping?
Why are you so mean to him?
Because your boyfriend isn't coming and only Taegyeong keeps showing up.
Come in.
Your mother isn't in the best mood.
- Let's go. - Yes, dad.
I need to talk to you.
About what?
About that lawyer you're bringing home.
When is he coming?
I told you he's busy with a case.
He has time to go on dates?
What?
I didn't want to hurt you, so I didn't tell you.
But that's what his mother told us.
Her son has no girlfriend.
And that's why she set him up with someone.
Really?
Tell me the truth.
Does his mother not like you?
She's not completely satisfied.
Why?
What's wrong with you?
People just think differently.
But that's too different.
She's not even considering you.
That's why she set him up!
Is it because of our family?
Is it because we're not successful?
It must be true.
Does she know what our family does?
It hurts me that she thinks of me like that.
Who would put you down?
What's wrong with the way we live?
This is so upsetting.
What's wrong with that family?
Are they that successful?
How successful are they?
Why should backgrounds even matter?
Don't say that, Deulim.
Deulim's right.
Our children are both lawyers.
And you're a better lawyer than he is.
Who cares that her husband is a judge?
You said he's a lawyer?
Yeah, and his father is a judge.
Is that so great?
Their family is a family of judges.
They're putting down another family?
How can a judge feel that way?
That man shouldn't be a judge.
His father's a good man.
They say like husband, like wife.
Mom.
I still want things to work out with him.
Suim!
Why would you want to?
Just dump him.
Why should you go for him?
Why are you so obsessed?
Stop it.
You can marry into a better family.
You can do much better.
This is so offensive.
I'm not that great.
You're much better than that.
You're caring, smart and pretty.
You're better than me.
Why would you compare like that?
I don't think I'm better than you.
That's not true.
Don't say that in front of anyone else.
I'd look even worse.
Thanks for taking my side though.
I take back calling you smart.
You're smart about everything else.
But not when it comes to guys.
Yeah.
Maybe it's because you have no experience.
Do you like him that much?
Even when his mother treats you that way?
Yeah. I think so.
I know I'm being foolish.
But that's how it is when you're in love.
You don't know what's going on.
If you like him that much, go for it.
Even if our families say no, they can't say no forever.
Look at me.
Mom and dad didn't want me to go into theater but I won in the end.
Yeah, I'm proud of you.
Cheer up.
I'll always be on your side.
Okay?
Thanks.
What are you doing?
Can't you get rid of that mutt?
Quiet.
You'll scare him.
Hey!
I took him for a walk today.
And this woman scared him badly.
He's been crying since.
I have to take him to the vet tomorrow.
I don't care where you take him.
You do what you want.
But I want to see him out of here.
Don't you feel sorry for him?
I feel sorrier for me.
Oh!
Were you scared?
Go to sleep now.
Weren't you sleeping?
There you are.
Why are you so late?
I had something to do.
Were you drinking?
I did a little.
Did something bad happen?
No.
Why do you look so down?
Do you know I live to see you smile?
What's mom doing?
She's sleeping with that puppy of hers.
Go to bed.
Okay.
There's a guy I like.
What's wrong?
I'm fine.
You look awful.
Were you with Suim?
Suim said she likes some guy.
What?
Who is he?
I don't know who he is.
But I don't know why I even care.
No wonder she made you wait.
I knew something was up.
Why didn't you tell her how you felt sooner?
Love's all about timing.
What am I going to do?
Should I give her up?
You can't force yourself to do that.
You can't control the way you feel.
You've only tried once. That's it.
Who cares if you're hurt?
If it doesn't go well, try again.
You have to give it your all.
Did Taegyeong say he'll really quit?
He won't do licensed productions.
I guess there's no choice.
What about us?
What do you mean?
We're on Milky Way.
We have to stay.
Are we doing a licensed musical?
Of course.
Eunha and Mr. Yun signed the deal.
It'll be useless if Taegyeong doesn't join us.
It's the performance that matters.
We can always find new directors.
How can you say that?
How dare you cut in?
All of you here came this far thanks to Taegyeong.
We all know that.
We should ask Taegyeong to stay.
He made the decision himself.
Why should we?
Now be quiet.
Where is he anyway?
It's not like him to be late.
Yeah.
What's he still doing here?
Taegyeong!
Don't you know what time it is?
Aren't you going to work?
I have a headache.
You came home drunk last night.
Yeah.
I'm expecting guests over later.
Go shower and go to work.
I want to rest.
I don't want my guests to see you here.
I bragged about you to all my friends.
What if they see you're not at work?
What'll they think of me?
Why should they think any less of me?
Some children follow in their dads footsteps and become lawyers.
You didn't grow up to be a doctor.
Is that so important?
What?
Did something happen last night?
Fine. I'll leave.
Why did you waste your youth in the theater?
No one cares about the theater.
It's so cold outside.
I thought we could stay warms.
This is on me.
You're not going to eat?
I don't feel like eating.
Hey, that's no fun.
I'm not going to buy you anything anymore.
Fine.
Do you know Taegyeong's leaving the company?
What do you mean?
We're going to put on a licensed show.
And Taegyeong said he won't do it.
He said he's going to leave the company.
It's come to that.
I had no idea.
I was just happy I might get a role in a licensed production.
Who told you that?
The man who's our investor.
He said that to you?
He gave me a CD of the musical, too.
He told me to see how it is.
When did you talk about that?
He dropped me off at home the other day.
He took you home?
Jeongja.
Why would you let just anyone drop you off?
What's your problem?
Are you jealous?
Jealous?
Why would I be jealous?
I think you're jealous.
You listen to me.
Don't just let anyone drop you off like that.
That's not smart of you.
I'm not a kid.
Taegyeong's not at work yet.
Will you find out where he is?
He's not at work?
He won't even answer the phone.
He must be very upset.
I gave you the deadline a long time ago.
You're still sitting on it?
Will you hurry it up?
Yes?
Hyeonu.
Have a seat.
I thought you were busy.
Did you know Taegyeong's quitting?
Yeah, I knew.
Sanghyeon.
How can you do this?
It was his decision to leave.
And Taegyeong's a great director.
He can go somewhere else.
Milky Way represents his entire life.
He gave his passion and youth to that place.
How would he feel to leave now?
He wanted to hold onto his principles.
He must have given this a lot of thought.
He didn't even come into work today.
No?
People think money's the most important.
Taegyeong's been hurt by this before.
I don't know why I introduced you to him.
What is it you want to tell me?
I thought you'd be able to understand since you're young, too.
That's why I introduced you to him.
But I guess I was wrong about you.
I regret doing that.
Hyeonu.
I should let you go back to work.
Hyeonu!
I enjoyed the performance last time.
Really?
My child wants to be a musical director.
Really?
But it's not easy to become a director.
You have to have talent.
That's not fair.
Why don't the rest of us get tickets?
The tickets were sold out.
It wasn't easy to get those few tickets.
I'll ask my son again.
What'll you do with the club money?
I'm going to buy some plates.
Are they the ones we saw last time?
I wanted to get that set, too.
These women have no care in the world.
About Ms. Yun...
Yes?
I always knew she was an elegant lady.
But she was putting down our money club.
I was offended, too.
She just said she wouldn't want to join.
I don't think it was that harsh.
But it's true.
She's not the judge. Her husband is.
Yes. It's like she was putting us on trial.
Ms. Yun was right.
She didn't seem that arrogant.
It's rude of us to talk about her like this.
We weren't being rude.
You don't even know her.
Why are you taking her side?
I'm only saying.
I don't think a money club is right for us.
We're here to do volunteer work.
But we're buying expensive plates.
Doesn't that go against our cause?
Stop it.
We're all trying to do good work.
With Ms. Yun on our side, our meeting will become more sophisticated.
You think we'll only be sophisticated if we have successful people join as members?
Why are you getting so mad?
This is all because of my daughter.
I wish I could talk trash about Ms. Yun, too.
But I can't do that.
I could only say nice things.
Didn't you see Jina on your way home?
Jina? She's not home?
She's not back from kindergarten.
She should have been here 30 minutes ago.
Maybe there was a birthday party.
- Let me call her. - Yeah.
What do you mean Jina's not back?
The kindergarten said she went home.
She's not back.
We're going out to look for her.
Hurry back, Jeongja.
Okay.
Where are you going?
Hyojin, where are you going?
My daughter's missing.
Daughter?
Jina!
Do you know who Jina is?
Who's Jina?
She's about your height.
She had on a green book bag.
I don't know.
Jina, I'm sorry.
I should have been there for you.
I'm sorry, Jina.
Hyojin!
What if Jina got into an accident?
Then they would've called you already.
Don't worry.
I'm not fit to be a mom.
I couldn't even take care of her!
This is all my fault.
I didn't know you had a daughter.
Yes, I have a daughter.
Is that so wrong?
I thought you were single.
A single woman can't have a daughter?
Is that a crime?
I didn't mean it that way.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Yes, I was wrong.
I'm a horrible mother.
That's why my daughter's gone.
It's all my fault.
We should call the police.
Get up.
Mom.
Jina!
Jina! Jina! Jina!
Why are you crying?
Where were you?
Do you want to see me die?
I was with her.
Are you out of your mind?
Who told you to take her?
What's wrong with being with my daughter?
Who is this man?
He's the jerk I beat up last time.
Right?
He has nothing to do with you.
You!
Our divorce papers haven't been processed yet
and you're already seeing a man?
Don't talk about him that way.
I'm not just any guy.
Then who are you?
What are you doing with her?
Watch what you say in front of your child.
What?
You're trying to be her husband already?
Now go before I call the cops.
What?
Should I take out a restraining order now?
I'm going to file for custody soon.
I don't care.
Thank you.
I didn't do anything.
Your daughter must have been scared.
Why don't you go home?
I'll take you home.
That's okay.
Let's go.
Oh, did you find her?
No.
I went to all the nearest playgrounds.
Did you hear anything?
What are we going to do?
This is all Jeongja's fault!
Honey, why can't you take me instead?
What are we going to do?
Jina! You're here!
Where did you find her?
You don't even want to know.
Why didn't you call us?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't think straight.
Where did you go?
Do you know how worried I was?
Daddy bought me a gift.
What?
You were with your father?
He picked her up from kindergarten.
Why didn't he tell us he was doing that?
Do you know how scared I was?
Didn't I tell you to come straight home?
I wanted to see dad.
Stop it.
At least she's home now.
Jina, tell us where you're going next time.
- Okay. - Good.
Now go and rest.
Jeongja, you'd better keep an eye on her.
What's with this apron?
This?
I came straight from work.
I thought you were a restaurant manager.
One of our kitchen ladies didn't come.
I had to do the dishes.
It's good to have a job but your children come first.
Keep an eye on her.
Okay.
Hey, Deulim.
Hi.
Where's Eunha?
She's in the studio.
Taegyeong isn't here yet.
She's directing the rehearsals.
Why aren't you with them?
I have other work to do.
But you perform on stage.
You shouldn't be cleaning.
When Taegyeong's not around, the other's don't ask me to join them.
They're disrespecting you because you're a trainee?
Show them what you're made of when we put on the licensed production.
Won't Taegyeong be directing us?
I don't think so.
If he's not working with us,
I don't think I can do it.
What does he have to do with you?
He's the first one who believed in me.
I heard you did a good job at the trial.
Thank you.
Now you've finally got it.
I still have a long way to go.
What is the wife saying?
The husband wasn't loyal to the family.
He's never been a good father.
Maybe he knew the son wasn't his.
Yes.
Divorces are all about placing blame.
His paternity is the most important factor.
I don't think there's a need to worry.
Make sure you hit the main points.
And nab them right at the next hearing.
Okay.
Your call will be forwarded...
Why won't Taegyeong answer the phone?
Suim.
Did you try calling Taegyeong?
No. Why?
Taegyeong's leaving the company.
What do you mean?
They're doing a licensed production.
Taegyeong refused to do it.
You know how stubborn he is.
So he's going to leave?
I think so.
Taegyeong can get a job anywhere.
But you know that company is special to him.
Yeah.
He went there straight after graduation.
And he made it what it is today.
He won't last if he leaves.
He said that because he's upset.
But if he leaves the company, it'll be a huge blow to him.
Is something going on?
No, I wanted to see you.
Taegyeong.
I love seeing your smile.
I wanted to see you.
What's going through your mind?
I feel so bad for Taegyeong.
Why should you feel bad?
Taegyeong needed a friend.
But no one was there for him.
I wasn't there for him, either.
Want to come with me to the company?
I have to go back to the firm.
Tell me how it went with Taegyeong.
Okay.
Isn't Taegyeong coming?
But we have a show today.
He's not that irresponsible.
Taegyeong!
What are you doing here?
Aren't you going to rehearse?
How can we, without you?
Yeah.
We were so worried about you.
Why were you worried about that?
I'm going to get ready.
Now go to the studio.
Okay.
What happened to you?
Hey.
Isn't the director here yet?
He's here. He's in his office.
Really?
If you quit,
do you have any other plans?
Not yet.
I'll have to think about it after this show.
What about your actors?
They're all working for you.
The actors have to stay.
It'll be better for their careers to work in a well known production.
This wasn't an easy decision to make.
Let's not discuss this anymore.
Anyway.
Will you call Suim?
She's worried sick about you.
Oh? That's nice.
You don't sound appreciative at all.
Stay for the performance.
I don't think I can stay.
Why? Do you have plans?
I'm going on a blind date.
You?
Yeah.
With whom?
This college president's daughter.
Mom is forcing me.
What is it?
When did you get here?
I was worried about you, Taegyeong!
Worry about yourself.
Go and rehearse.
I'll be there soon.
Okay. Don't be late.
Good luck with the date.
I thought you'd marry last.
Not all arranged dates end up in marriage.
I'm sorry about all this.
About what?
I hoped things would go well with Sanghyeon.
I don't think this would happen.
What are you doing?
Didn't you go to rehearsal?
The poster was falling.
I have to do everything around here!
Don't use the posters as an excuse.
Were you waiting for me?
Why would I wait for you?
I don't know.
Maybe you want to ask me something.
Nope.
Really?
I heard your mom set you up with someone.
Yeah.
I see.
I wish you luck.
Thanks.
Being set up on dates by parents is for old people.
Aren't you too young for that?
You said you wish me luck.
Why are you getting mad at me?
Are you jealous?
Jealous? No way!
I think you're jealous.
Do you like me?
What?
Subtitles by KBS World
You're seeing a woman who's divorced with a child?
You don't even know who she is.
I don't want to see you again.
I can understand everything.
I don't care about your past.
I can accept your child, too.
If a guy goes on an arranged date,
that means he doesn't like you.
It's like he's in a different world.
I have nothing.
I can't be with someone like that.
If you keep being that way.
I don't think I can see you anymore.
Did someone break your heart?
Yeah, you.
