Episode 8
When did you get back?
Didn't you go to the celebration party?
I went and came back early.
Where did you go?
For a short drive.
The night air is pretty good.
Mom!
You're going to get married.
When are you getting married?
You decided on it all on your own.
Did you ever consider about me?
How can you not even ask me?
I'm your daughter.
News of your marriage, why must I hear it from others?
Child....
Shouldn't you be telling me?
Shouldn't you ask me for my opinion too?
I won't be getting married.
Why?
I don't wish to.
Liar!
You really want to get married.
He's got someone else.
How can that be?
Yes, how can that happen?
I'm curious about something.
Ask me.
Could that Ajussi be burdened because of me?
He said he didn't want to live with you?
No.
Then why this suddenly?
How can he do that?
In the past months he...
I have to change and get stuff done.
You go and rest too.
What on earth do you like about that Ajussi?
Why do you believe in him?
He said he wanted to marry you,
Then he suddenly says he's got someone else?
Is he mentally sick or something?
Don't you even feel anything?
Or are you pretending nothing's happened?
If only you didn't know about this matter, I'd just let it pass.
Why?
I don't want to see you like this.
Fool!
Mom is a fool, too.
That awful jerk....
Don't you have the ability to discern people?
Go on up.
I'll settle it.
Are you trying to get into my good books?
Yes.
Then get me a speaker system.
Speakers?
Yes, don't you know?
Speakers are for amplifying sounds.
Yes, but what's that for?
Feel like broadcasting it.
Calling all neighbors! My husband....
You must live longer than me.
Why?
I can't do without you even for a day.
Don't you worry.
I'm not going to leave you behind.
Really?
Jeong Ja!
Yes?
Send this to the laundry.
Yes.
Where's Aunt?
In the kitchen.
I'm here.
I went to the supermarket.
Here.
Why do you keep telling stories?
Making the child so fearful.
When did I ever say I wanted to get married?
I'm sorry, Kang Ae.
I'm in the wrong.
You must be sad.
What to do now?
You know about it too?
Yes.
You know how upset I got when I heard it?
Really a lunatic!
How can he do that?
I was afraid you'd fall sick again so I made some porridge.
Let it all out.
Da Mi
I went to a celebration party today, Dad.
Is that so?
So the movie filming is done?
Since it's the first try, surely there were many obstacles.
You've worked hard.
Although it was unfamiliar and tough,
But there were joyful and meaningful moments too.
What have you done today?
Every night like writing in a diary,
Chatting with Dad like this.
This is great.
Nothing else happened, right?
Mom's well too?
Yes, she's fine.
Don't say it's not the truth.
She's your first love, isn't she?
So, such rumors are going around?
Jerk!
I'm off.
We'll talk when we meet.
Don't come. I won't see you even if you're here.
Lee Kang Ae.
When did you come in?
I'm sorry.
The door was opened.
Mom.
Wait a minute.
What do you need?
I'll get it for you.
Get me some ice water.
Mom can't tell me her sad moments.
When she's upset, she tries her best not to show it.
That's all she knows to do.
Now I know why grandma said that mom was frustrating.
Mom, water.
Thanks.
Mom, do you remember last time...
When I was young...
Didn't I give Sin Beom oppa the rabbit poo?
Saying it'll make him more clever.
Is that so?
I thought he wouldn't fall for it.
He told me in my face,
That he doesn't believe there're such supplements.
But when he got home, he took it for real,
And he ate it for a few days.
Really?
Really.
Doesn't Sin Ae unnie always say it?
Sin Beom oppa is not good at studies,
All because of the remnant side effects of eating rabbit poo.
That's too much.
Haven't you been through that too?
Grandma told me.
She said you were naughty when you were young.
Always making grandma laugh, didn't you?
Yes.
I still remember how happy we were playing together when I was young.
Making some small animals....
Using rice flour or if that wasn't available then wheat flour.
Compared to the flour sold in shops,
I still think those you made were the best.
Those were good times.
Da Mi.
Mom slept really late last night.
The phone line was disconnected.
So after she's awake then plug it back.
Got it.
Loving someone I shouldn't.
The feelings I can't reveal.
I'll cry again at night.
Have you become a statue?
Hey, Yoo Da Mi.
Have you become a statue?
No.
Then are you shivering?
Your first product presentation,
So that's why you're nervous?
Such a bright, sunny day,
Even the wild lotus look brighter than you.
What's wrong with you these days? Like a cow with flesh falling off?
Smile.
Oh yes! Recently, I met Yeon Jin again.
Yeon Jin?
Yes. The Yeon Jin in Class 8. Moon Yeon Jin.
The one with double eyelid only on one side.
Oh! The quiet one.
Yes.
The other eye's got double eyelid now.
With a kingka* next to her. *handsome, highly-eligible guy*
Completely different person.
Maybe the university must have been really good.
Who?
Yeong Chan oppa.
Today's the presentation, right?
Don't be nervous, do it well.
Aren't you coming?
I'm at school now.
I'm sorry I can't be there.
I'll be cheering you on in my heart.
I can't hear any sounds of cheering.
Yoo Da Mi, fighting!
Naughty girl, now you're smiling.
Unnie, is Mom up yet?
She didn't eat anything, why is her stomach painful?
Do you like steak?
Steak? The bigger the better.
Then, we'll have that.
Please make a special one for this lady.
Yes.
Today's presentation, why didn't your mother come along?
Yoo Da Mi.
Does she know about the presentation?
I didn't have time to tell her.
Anything the matter?
Nothing.
Chairman, today her condition is..
Her condition is not good,
There must be a reason, right?
But why is your mood like this?
What's the matter?
You should be fine when you hear this.
One more thing.
The next time you're asked, you must answer.
I'm sorry.
Are you happy working, Choi Yoo Jin?
Yes, I'm happy.
Choose one from the two.
What is it?
Your next project.
Loving someone I shouldn't.
The feelings I can't reveal.
I'll cry again at night.
My love, the love in my heart.
Please go well.
Da Mi.
Hi, Oppa!
Where did you come from?
Just back from school.
Is it fun in school?
Well, so-so.
Not interesting?
The students just call my name directly.
They call me Sin Beom!
I got a shock and said Yes?
Very different from high school, right?
Hm, different. Very different.
If I choose to, I could play everyday.
Feel like going to school?
No.
Don't you have more fun than going to school?
Is that so?
Mom doesn't want be talking about school in front of you.
Not even in front of Ajuhmma.
It's just my Mom's own worries.
What's that?
Let me get it for you.
It's alright. Go on, Oppa.
Ok. Go on in.
Aren't there many who act and attend school too?
Why don't you try getting into the university?
Do your studies, Da Mi.
You don't have to be in a good university.
It's ribs.
Cook me a soup with it.
It's not something you like, right?
Are you thinking of Mom?
Where is she?
She should be in the study.
Mom!
Do you have a photo of Dad?
No.
Not even one?
Not even one.
Didn't you say you don't have a photo of Dad?
Grandma kept it.
Grandma?
I found it in the drawer after she passed away.
Since it was kept by her, I couldn't throw it away too.
Why couldn't you?
So that's why you kept it.
Da Mi.
I'll take this with me.
If you think it's so precious,
Why didn't you take it out and look at it?
What's there to be afraid of? Hiding it in the drawer for yourself only.
What did you think of every time you looked at this?
What else didn't you tell me?
Tell me now.
I'm grown up now so it's ok.
Can I raise a request?
What?
After choosing the script, go into production slowly.
If it gets produced too quickly,
Other companies will not think of me as a talented actress.
Is it strange to produce it quickly?
Very surprising.
The next project will be a tough one.
If you don't have the patience of an actor, it won't turn out well.
It's a good project. Don't you think you can do it?
I don't have so much confidence.
I do.
Let's go.
Meryl Streep. Jodie Foster. You must pay attention to their movies.
As you watch you should think, "How would I do that performance?"
The same dialogue done by a different actor will be different.
If you don't put in your feelings, it won't do.
You must be serious and sharp.
The number you dialed is not available, please dial again later.
Da Mi. I'm here to see your movie now.
The theatre is full.
As the lights flickered,
Looking at him,
A lamp lights up in my heart too.
What kind of feeling is this?
Are you done crying?
Did I cry?
I thought everyone who watched the movie with me will cry.
I can hold it in very well.
Chairman, you seem to cry very little.
Not many men in this world will cry for nothing.
Life is like reading a book.
When there's a sad page, just turn the page. [Where are you now? Call me when you see this. Shall we have lunch together?]
That woman who said no, amazing, isn't it?
Very soft-hearted.
You have an appointment?
No.
When Yoo Jin comes here, she'll eat double portions.
You didn't know how much she can eat, right?
When she was young, she didn't cry much.
But if you don't feed her, she'll cry real hard.
Try grinding it like this.
It's easy to grind, right?
After it's grinded, add the soy sauce.
What?
Nothing much.
At such a time, shouldn't you grind it for me and add the sauce?
Da Mi, shouldn't you do it for me?
No, don't make too much of it, I'm just saying.
You only eat when everything's ready for you?
I mean Senior Yoo Na.
I'm sorry, I've gone overboard.
It's the first time I'm doing this so I find it fun.
Are you angry?
What I said... Did I spoil your mood?
When you did something wrong.
Although there was nothing wrong,
Couldn't you have put up with it for the sake of someone else and let it pass?
Someone who shouted and yelled at me,
You're the first.
Then you're lucky to have met me now.
Enjoy your meal.
Let's eat. It looks delicious.
Very good.
Are you busy today? If not, could you help me?
Ajussi is old than Ajuhmma by 10 years.
So he's already 53.
He doesn't like it too elegant. Just something durable will do.
Then choose this.
Looks refined and cultured.
Please give me this.
Shall I wrap it?
I look subdued when I wear this.
Wear it.
You're still not used to it, right?
From now on, you must realize you're a star.
We have to go now. We have a meeting with the director.
So glad to meet you. I've seen your work.
Thank you.
Please sit.
You're doing well?
The start is going really well.
Then it's going to be very successful.
You've worked hard.
Da Mi really saved you.
From now on, you'll be formally taking over.
The younger brother really can't replace you.
Luckily there's no loss.
What will I do if you lost it because of me?
I was worried all along.
Failed movies aren't a lot actually.
Mostly they were mismanaged.
It doesn't matter to the film industry.
Exactly because it could be mismanaged hence the anxiety.
Don't they have frequent dealings with you?
Please excuse me for a while.
Have you decided on your next project?
What?
Is it time to leave Kim Yoo Na now?
You got it wrong.
Excuse me. Are you Yoo Da Mi?
Yes. It's me.
It's her. Really? Really?
You know me?
Of course.
We just watched "That Summer's 3 leaf clover."
Please give me your autograph.
Me too.
Give me your autograph too.
You're really pretty.
The movie's really interesting.
Me too.
Sign for me too.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Many people can recognize me.
They asked if I'm Yoo Da Mi.
They said they watched the movie.
I even gave them my autograph.
Why are you laughing?
Where's the director?
He went to get something from the car.
Why are you still laughing?
Didn't I say there'll be changes?
From now on, everything's changing.
Is Senior Yoo Na dating the Chairman?
There are also photos of the Chairman huh?
Do they love each other?
Don't ask.
Why be curious about other people's love story?
Hello?
You're just back?
Yes.
I was busy today.
So I didn't answer your call.
Are you angry?
Is something up?
I'm Santa Claus.
I made reservations.
I bought a present for Uncle.
And I brought your present here too.
A present?
It's for you.
Today I gave someone my autograph.
It's a strange feeling.
Of course. When you're successful, you'll be a star.
Unbelievable, right?
Aren't you opening this?
Do you like it?
I liked what you gave me very much.
Is that so?
Do you want to buy books?
Do you want to start studying again?
I'm considering.
It's different every year so I'm a little afraid.
I've forgotten so much.
If you do get started again, it'll come back to you.
Hey!
Come to my school.
My junior.
The university timetable can be self-determined?
Yes.
I can sit in for other lessons too?
Occasionally, sit it for art and psychology classes.
It's interesting.
Oh yes! Sin Beom oppa also told me he sat in for psychology classes.
Sin Beom?
Yes. The girl he likes is taking psychology.
Is that right? Has he declared his love?
Sin Ae unnie says he's practicing at home.
Like what?
Would you like to have lunch with me?
What would you like?
Shall I get you some coffee?
If Yoo Jin knew about this, she wouldn't just let it go.
Don't tell. Sin Beom will be upset.
Falling for a girl who doesn't like him,
Will the guy be upset too?
If you fell for a guy who doesn't like you,
Wouldn't you be sad too?
You're a little different today.
You look fine.
Let's have dinner together.
Next time.
I'd like to quickly buy my Mom a present too.
Have you two made up?
I decided to give way.
How can you do this, Hyung?
What?
You have to have a woman wherever you go?
You jerk!
Sit down.
You sit too.
Sit down and listen to me.
Beer, please.
Forget it.
You've grown thinner.
Say it quick.
If I could hide it forever,
I'd never reveal it.
I have a woman in New York.
We're engaged.
And so?
I've only been engaged once in my life.
We grew up together,
When we were adults, the grown-ups wanted us to be engaged.
I wasn't unhappy with it.
But after signing the document when I had to take full responsibility,
I finally woke up to the reality.
A few days before the wedding, I ran away.
I have not met her since.
It was a deal my father made.
Destroying a wholesome girl like this.
I only heard that she lived well overseas.
I thought she was happily married.
Because she deserved it.
On this trip to New York,
She heard news about me and found me.
That woman won't live for long.
Just a matter of time.
But she had nothing.
No marriage, no children.
Working in a boring museum,
That's her whole life.
I started taking her to the hospital for checkups.
Then I moved to her house.
Her situation was really bad.
I preferred to send her to a hospice.
Can you understand this?
I can.
I'm not someone who can give myself easily.
But this time it's different.
I can't pretend I don't know about it.
What about the school?
I've applied for a long leave of absence.
If that is the truth..
Am I one to tell lies, a cunning fellow?
I'm sorry, Hyung.
My relationship with that woman,
Just take it like the relationship between you two.
Two acquainted families, two persons growing up together.
Thanks to me,
That was the end of that family.
Go well.
I'm off, Hyung.
Let's go to Yeong Pyong.
Let's go. I have something to say.
I can understand.
So cool. So gentlemanly.
But..
But?
You should have told me first.
At the start, I just wanted to help her get to the hospital.
Didn't you say she's your first love?
It's not time for love now.
This is love.
If I'm sick, I'll wish for someone beside me.
Holding my hand.
That's love.
Why do you make me so frustrated?
You're a writer, can't you understand this?
Do you think writers don't have feelings?
The man I love treating someone else's home like his own,
What would you do? Can you accept?
No feelings whatsoever?
You are very precious to that woman.
Lee Kang Ae.
Park Dong Wook.
Stop pretending to be cool.
You had better figure out where you, yourself, want to live.
If you want to be with that woman, then go.
Let go.
I didn't come here because I want to marry you.
I came to settle things.
What's there to settle?
Just finish it off. Why did you come?
Did you just want to settle things?
Can't you be honest to yourself first?
Are you with me here?
Are you?
I'm always laughing with you,
You think I don't have my own thoughts?
You're the woman who has never loved me.
You're always thinking of your husband.
You put on a cool front.
But is there even one day when you don't think of him?
You're a woman who completely belongs to him.
Why did you want to marry me?
Didn't you say I completely belong to another man?
Did you think it will change after marriage?
You can't say there's no chance for that.
I like you.
I want to be with you.
There's no complicated reasons.
Can you tell me you love me?
Even if it's a lie,
Say you love me.
Did you hear me?
Did you say something?
Of course. You thought I was speaking to the kid?
Tell me you love me.
No.
Why not?
From now on, I've decided I won't waste it saying to you.
So what do you want from me?
I love you.
What?
Didn't you just waste it?
Ah! I wanted to hold it back.
You're even questioning me now.
I don't love you.
What?
Hey! The kid will wake up.
There'll be big trouble if I don't love you.
Of course.
Don't worry. I will always love you.
Don't worry at all.
I'm only left with a shell.
Nothing else left.
Everything pretty or beautiful has all been given out.
Nothing left.
I love you.
Do you know you're really bad?
That's why I love you.
Yes, it's Mom.
I see.
Anyhow, I'm coming back tomorrow.
It's ok.
Yes. Goodnight.
You too.
What are you doing?
Irish coffee.
Try it.
How is it?
It's good.
I think I put in too much.
Actually I could have made it better.
Today my hands are not obedient.
Have you thought about it?
What?
Our marriage.
Do you want to marry nothing but an empty shell?
Why make a loss in business?
I know what you want.
That's why I brought you here.
No matter what you say,
You still like me.
If I should get married then I might as well do it.
I actually thought about it.
I'm very grateful to you.
I'm very tired.
Whenever I publish a new work,
I'll be thinking.. Will it be doubted this time?
What am I writing? How good is it?
Is it just because I'm fortunate?
Whether if it�s just pure luck or not. And whether if there is more luck to it than now.
I know.
You don't. You don't know anything.
Pretending to be strong, to be great.
Do I seem like that?
If I'm not like this, I'm afraid I'll be beaten.
Nobody knows.
Everyone's the same.
No matter how great a person, they get uneasy too.
I'm not afraid that I won't succeed.
I just feel I have to do it.
What do you mean?
It was better when Mom was alive.
I forgot about it.
But I'm really having it tough on me.
What?
What is tough on you?
Is it Da Mi?
Tell me.
What is so tough on you?
Remembering the past.
If I could, I really would like to return to the past.
Just be like in the past.
Cooking, doing laundry, waiting for someone,
Every season, thinking what is best,
Washing something,
I long for the past.
I'll let you have the past.
A woman whose mind is filled with the past?
You do love me,
I hope you will accept that.
I'll go in first. You come on in later.
Did you sleep well?
When did you get up?
Just.
To make breakfast for you.
Stayed up the whole night?
I woke up at dawn. I went for a walk.
This is good.
While you're here, what's happening to her?
I hired a nurse. They have good facilities there.
What did she say?
About you taking care of her.
Sickness really weakens a person.
She's not one to accept kindness and owe others favors.
Was she happy?
Yes. For a long time, she didn't get to speak Korean or talk about her home country.
Not a trace of hope at all?
Yes.
When do you leave?
Some days more. Nothing urgent.
Hello?
Oh, it's me.
Last night?
What do you mean?
No, I'll take care of it as soon as I get back there.
Yeah. And listen, about my exhibition..
I think I might be able to open up the gallery in Seoul.
Yeah, that's great news.
Take care.
You have to get back today?
What I said about being able to understand the situation, I cancel it.
You shouldn't pretend to be good too.
What does that mean?
Who is it?
Is something up?
To give you a surprise.
I wanted to give you this quickly.
A present, Mom.
Aren't you bored alone?
Da Mi.
Come on in.
I was with that man at Yeong Pyong.
In a house.
Da Mi.
It's dirty.
She says I'm dirty.
Really..
Aigoo! Aigoo! Aigoo!
Are you two filming a movie?
You have a boyfriend, huh?
Isn't this Da Mi?
Your Mom.
