What? You said you can't?
Yes.
Student, what is your reason? Tell us.
No matter what the reason is, you should at least give it a shot first.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
Do you know how much effort it takes to choose?
Why are you like this suddenly?
I am not prepared. Besides, my family disagrees.
What is your dad working as?
We will get permission from your dad personally.
Give us his number.
Just take it that I am not in it. I'm sorry.
We don't need someone so irresponsible.
You should at least be responsible for yourself.
Don't let it go just because you are young.
Is the job of an actress so easy?
Is it open to students who are unable to get into university to kill time?
I don't mean that.
You don't, but your actions do.
You were saying words like "Please choose me," and now you're asking us to "take it as you are not in"?
Don't you think using such methods to handle situations is ridiculous?
What did you learn in school?!
Third year of high school, right? Where are you heading to next?
Are your results good?
It's alright. You don't have to answer.
We'll give you some time. You think about it yourself.
We shall end today.
Hyung.
Did it go well?
Yes.
Go back home this weekend. Mom misses you.
What's wrong?
Is there anything wrong? Why do you look like that?
The man wearing specs... is really horrible.
He purposely made it difficult.
So that was it.
What did he say?
Say it properly.
Don't worry.
Are you going on the battlefield?
Unni, where is Mom?
Why?
Is she in the study room?
A lot of people came and said that there was a meeting and left.
You mom is going to start a new column for the newspaper.
Do you have anything else that will disappoint her?
Lately, I get scared when I look at you.
This is Da Mi.
I went for auditions today.
- Da Mi is a train - I am not sure if it is something that I like,
but I would like to discuss this with someone.
Dad, do you still remember how I look like?
You're here.
Is she busy?
No, she is awake already. She should be in her room.
I'd like to make some meat sauce soup.
I've written it down. Help me go buy it.
I already told the butcher that I'll be there soon.
Yes.
Come on in.
Want some tea?
- Jang Ja - I told her to get some things.
I'll be making meat sauce soup.
Why are you suddenly cooking that?
Didn't Mom used to make that?
I miss Mom...
That...
I didn't sleep well yesterday,
but you seem to have slept well.
Because I've been coming back late.
Don't you have anything to say?
I'm sorry for leaving you on your own,
but I have no choice as well.
You always make people feel lonely.
Go repent.
Yes, I will.
I'm sorry about Da Mi.
I will make delicious soup for you.
If it wasn't for me, you won't be able to see meat sauce soup.
This is the last chapter.
You will look at it, right?
Of course.
I've skipped it a few times. That won't do.
Is there anything wrong lately?
Why isn't there any news from the project we're doing?
It has already started.
Exactly. But, is there no news about the progress of it?
Why?
There are many rumors.
It is unlike Teacher Lee's doings. Something is wrong this time.
There are just too many rumors.
How should we go about to avoid rumors? Once it starts, there were so many rumors.
Are there any reasons?
There isn't.
Life is fair.
Did we call you for nothing?
There is a price to pay.
Your daughter finished school already, right?
Yes, why?
When will she start preparations?
Once the results are out, she will start.
Just relax for today.
It's not bad to go out and have a walk.
But, why?
Da Mi?
Didn't she finish her examinations?
Aye, making a mountain out of a molehill. What is there to worry about?
Why? She didn't do well?
Which institute do you recommend for retaking the college entrance exam?
What smell is that?
Have a guess.
Grandma's meat sauce soup?
Ahjumma cooked it.
It is really delicious.
Where is Mom?
At the publishing company.
I'm back, Grandma.
[Ever since I returned to Korea, I will check my inbox every day.]
[Yesterday...]
[I was so happy to receive your email.]
[I really miss you, Da Mi.]
[You want to be an actress?]
[That's really great.]
Where are you going?
I'll be back soon!
Dad recieved your photograph from Ahjumma.
I only remembered how you looked like when you were 8.
Now, you're really beautiful.
I feel so grateful that you've grown so beautifully.
Yeo Jin!
Yeo Jin...
What's wrong?
Is there anything wrong?
Something good?
Hurry up! You're making me so nervous!
Yeo Jin, I...
I am going to be an actress.
Dad said so.
Ever since that day, I would watch out for any motorbike that drives pass,
because my daughter sat on one before.
My vision never gets away from a motorbike.
My love has always been this way.
So, it is really difficult for me to give in.
But, I still backed out.
In this way, she will give in as well.
You're back already?
Wanna see what I bought? Come over here.
Here...
How? Do you like it?
Is this for me?
Why are you laughing?
You never buy clothes that fit.
You always buy one size smaller.
Don't you know?
In a year, you only go to the departmental stores once or twice.
When you get back, Grandma and Ahjumma had to change the items.
Really?
You are a busy person.
It's really pretty,
but it is not appropriate for daily wear.
Wear it on Christmas Day.
We're going to watch an opera.
Do you have an appointment?
Don't you have one with Ahjusshi?
He is busy.
So I am a subsitute?
Why are you one?
I'm back already.
Oh, you're back from school?
Yes.
Unni, Mom bought clothes. Try it.
Be serious. Be serious.
1, 2, 3, 4...
Be serious. Be serious.
Now, a turn.
My bones are about to break following you.
It'd be great if you were an actress, too.
There is so much time now.
It is easy being an actress.
Wasn't there very few scenes? You still had to learn ballet.
Is there a character role that comes out doing hapgido* (art of self defense)?
Hey, have you told your Mom?
Not yet.
What's this? You'll start filming shortly.
Don't you know what my mom is famous for?
Always get to know first-hand information and spread it.
I am like that, too. Don't you know?
I don't know how to tell her.
I have no confidence.
Maybe I can make her proud once there are results.
Exactly... If you don't say, who would know what you're thinking?
We'd always think about it first before opening our mouths,
but mothers don't understand this.
Oh yes, what kind of make-up would you like today?
President, Miss Yoo Da Mi is here.
Yes, hang on a moment.
You're here.
Here, have a seat.
Hang on.
Is there only this outfit?
What?
Yes.
Could you make a turn?
That's enough. Turn back.
It's done already.
Manager Cha.
Don't call her Miss Yoo Da Mi, just Yoo Da Mi will do.
We're here to do business. Please note our way of greeting.
Yes, I've got it.
Have a seat.
I heard that you made your decision.
Don't tell me that you are here to mess things up again?
Why are you still standing?
President, are you the highest position in the company?
Up to now, yes.
If you end up firing me, my decision wouldn't be considered as a mess up, right?
Tell me to stand, I stand. Tell me to turn, I turn.
This is very hard for me.
I might not be able to do it next time.
So, please treat me better.
Yes, President?
Is the contract for Yoo Da Mi ready?
Once you're done looking, sign it.
How much talent or standard you have is still unknown.
We made a big risk by hiring you.
Could you do it well?
I have one thing to request, President.
I have a friend who is learning make-up.
She is very concerned about this...
Okay. She can do it from now.
It's your first time. It is good to have a friend by your side.
We'll talk about it later.
Is your hair and make-up done by your friend?
Yes.
She needs to study more.
This standard won't do. Tell her to acquire experience by working as an assistant.
I have a pen.
Let's go somewhere. There is a press conference.
Oh yes... Have you received your script?
Here.
[Author: Lee Kang Ae]
Let's go.
We'll be reaching soon.
Don't feel nervous. Don't say unneccesary things.
We will help you with the difficult questions.
If you're unable to answer, just smiling will do.
You must act humble.
I've got it.
We'd like to ask President Ha.
We heard that the project stopped temporarily. Wwhy did you suddenly chose a newcomer?
Because the answer to this movie is Yoo Da Mi.
So, we thought of her.
Ever since you've taken over your dad's position,
this is the first time you've made such use of your authority, right?
I heard that within one year if no results are produced, you'll be dismissed. Is this true?
Then, this project is fully controlled by President Ha?
Not only this project but the rest as well.
I would have plenty of burden then.
I heard that you got engaged. Is this true?
I will make this clear again.
We're here today for Yoo Da Mi.
We'll leave the personal questions aside.
I would like to ask Miss Yoo Da Mi.
Where did you get training from?
I've never studied acting before.
Didn't you join activities while studying?
It's my first time.
This book is one of the best-sellers.
Have you read it before?
Not yet.
Because she's a newcomer, so she decides to read the script first.
Then... since when did you decide to be an actress?
Frankly, I only had that thought after I was chosen.
With no experience, totally first time.
How do you intend to play this role?
I won't reveal anymore.
I will try my very best.
May I ask how is your family situation like?
She is the daughter of the author, Lee Kang Ae.
Please don't ask anymore.
Every human being is the same.
You believed his words and even signed the contract.
It was like that, right?
No matter what, your mom will still find out.
But, not in this manner.
That's a good thing. Tell her today, then.
You're worried, huh?
You'll have wrinkles. Don't frown.
Does it hurt?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
I hit you too hard?
It is not because of that.
I feel that I am really a terrible daughter.
I am back.
Where did you come back from?
What is the meaning of being chosen for Dae Ri movie company?
Is it true?
Is that true!?
It is.
Da Mi, how could you...
I'm sorry.
That, Mom...
Actress?
Is that what you decided on?
Mom, let me say...
Come over here. Make a call that you can't do it.
Shouldn't you hear what I have to say first?
What is there to listen about!? Make a call!
Ahjumma!
Hurry up. Make a call!
I want to do it!
I want to be an actress!
What?
I knew it'd be like this if I told you.
If I were to tell you beforehand, would you agree?
No.
Definitely not!
That's why I got permission from Dad.
Dad says it's fine... that I am outstanding and beautiful.
Just like how my heart feels.
Your dad has no right to make decisions about this!
It is not up to you to decide!
He is my father.
Since when did he become your father?
Are you still yourself now!?
I am!
I know my mother well.
You treat Dad this way, too, right?
It was like this back then, right?
Pushing everything to Dad, chasing him away...
What did you say!? You!
Stop it! Kang Ae!
Have you thought about me before?
Why did you separate?
You're afraid that I'm unable to accept it, so you never told me why you divorced!?
Don't blame your mom this way!
Your mom didn't do anything wrong.
You don't know anything at all, and you're making so much noise!
Don't ask. It wasn't your mother's fault.
Jeong Seon.
It was my fault. It was mine.
It's pretty, right?
Yes, it is.
Dad will get a shock if he sees it.
Our Da Mi is a cook.
Wah! So delicious!
And then, being too happy, he will faint.
What about you?
How can the both of us faint?
I will have to support Dad.
When will Dad return home?
Exactly. His business is getting better.
He is always go on long business trips.
Is that Dad?
Hello.
Jeong Seon.
Are you well?
Yes, nothing much.
My husband went to Japan, too.
No, I thought he called.
Say it.
What is it?
Could you have seen wrongly?
Kang Ae, don't be shocked.
You must be calm and listen to what I have to say.
Da Mi's father is married over here and even has kids.
Are you listening?
This is the house.
[Yoo Keon Hee]
Kang Ae.
Who is this?
Help me. Ask if it is Yoo Keon Hee from Korea.
Hurry.
This is Yoo Keon Hee's wife from Korea.
What? Nothing at all.
What do you intend to do?
Kang Ae.
You go back.
What are you going to do?
Go ahead. Please...
I will call you next time.
Lead the way.
I'm going in.
Darling, tell her to sit down.
I'll bring tea.
Darling.
Sit down.
First, sit down.
Darling.
Kang Ae!
Honey…
Darling.
Kang Ae!
Kang Ae.
Darling.
Listen to me.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to do this to you.
I committed a deathly sin.
Please wait a little bit.
Give me one more chance.
There's no such thing as "chance".
That time, I was very surprised and shocked.
My thoughts were wrong.
I thought that was the best thing for your mother.
I'm going to regret my thoughtlessness until I die.
Don't do that to your mom.
Your mom didn't do anything wrong.
Open the door, Da Mi.
Da Mi, I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Mom…
Talk.
Couldn't you have held it in while thinking of me?
I forgot about you temporarily that time.
I didn't think about you.
I'm sorry.
Just…
That path was the only one that I could think of.
You should've told me from the beginning.
If you did, I wouldn't have thought that I was the only one
who didn't know... that you hid it from me.
It seems like you didn't put me as a part of your life.
So, I was very mad and sad.
Do you understand me?
Why did you do that?
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
After breaking up with that person, I always felt that I was being chased.
It felt like the pain from the past would come
and get me if I stood still.
Will my daughter be able to understand that I was the one being chased?
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
Where's Unni?
Ahjumma got sick, so she went there.
Do you want toast?
Yes, I'll cook it.
Do you want one, too?
Please just do one side for me.
You're drinking milk, right?
No, I'm going to try coffee.
Okay.
Mom.
Talk.
I didn't become an actress to disappoint you.
Because the names of the book and the movie were different,
I didn't know it was your work.
I found out later.
At first, I really didn't think much about it.
I just auditioned with my friend as a joke,
and I was surprised when I heard I made it.
I was going to quit.
Don't worry.
I'm not worrying.
As I was hiding this from you, how would I…
I called them.
I talked on the phone with the movie director.
I told him you can't do it.
Why did you do that?
I really hate you!
Why do you always do things your way?
Hey.
Da Mi!
Director, my mom called you, didn't she?
I'm going to do it.
I'm not going to quit.
After I got Ms. Lee's call in the morning,
I thought about how much you would've went through last night.
Yes.
Were you thinking about working while being that thoughtless?
There's somewhere we have to go together.
Where?
Yoo Da Mi's house.
My mom doesn't like it when people come to our house without any warning.
Excuse me, Director.
Also…
You know...
My mom doesn't want me to do this career.
You won't hear anything good.
Let's hurry and go there before lunch time.
You must be surprised that your daughter wants to be an actress so suddenly.
As a person in charge of your daughter,
I thought it would be the best to see you in person and tell you.
I will try my best to protect her and keep her safe.
I don't want you to do this career.
Please go away for now.
I will discuss this more with my daughter.
Thank you for making time for me.
Drink.
I can do whatever you want to do.
If you want to study abroad, I can send you abroad.
And, I can buy what you need, what you want.
Can you do whatever I want?
Yes.
I want to be an actress, Mom.
You can't do that.
Wow.
You don't know what I want.
No, even if you know, you ignore it.
Let me do something I want to do at least this time.
Why is it an actress?
There are other things to do than that.
I can do everything else for you.
I worked, sacrificing my time with you, for that.
Try to understand me.
Why can't I be an actress?
You act like you care so much about me, but truthfully
it's everything you want to do.
When we get to the most important thing…
Tell me.
Why didn't you get any help from Dad when you guys divorced?
Did he say he won't help you?
No.
I rejected.
You would've.
That you didn't want any help from Dad.
Yes.
It's all your fault.
Because of that, we all went downhill,
and we suffered when we didn't even have to.
You, me, and Grandma.
I still remember when Grandma suffered a lot.
It's my fault?
You would've wanted to appear strong to Dad
and said that you didn't need his help.
Yes?
Professor, this is reporter Kim.
Hello?
Why did you call?
What?
Professor, we were going to have a meeting today.
Did you forget about it?
Professor Lee forgot about it.
Mr. Lee said that it's something that doesn't happen very often.
You're going to come right now, right?
I can't right now.
Okay, I'll do something about it then.
Sorry.
Are you going to do it even if I disagree until the end?
Yes.
I'm going to do it.
[You got a message from Yoo Keon Hee]
[Da Mi, what are you doing?]
[Are you busy right now?]
[I'm free right now because my appointment got cancelled.]
[It seems like you're busy.]
[Then, let's talk later.]
Dad.
I know why you and Mom broke up now.
I'm not going to ask why you did that.
You would've had a reason to do that.
However, Dad…
Couldn't you have tried a little harder for me?
The day you left…
I remember that day clearly.
Did you have to do it that way?
Darling.
Kang Ae!
Honey…
Sorry, I have to go.
I already know.
Even if I didn't know who the woman was…
I knew that someone else was in your heart.
I'm ready for it.
I'm thinking of covering it up this way.
Please do it that way.
Sakae…
Listen to me well.
I can't do that.
I love her.
Sakae!
Mom, Mom.
Yuka, your mom is here.
In this time?
Yuka, it seems like you're going to grow,
but don't eat too much.
One bread.
One and a half.
One for me, too, Mom.
Okay.
Please wait a moment, Yuka and Akira.
Okay, Mom.
I don't want anything.
I have no requirements.
Just give me Da Mi.
[I'm sorry Da Mi…]
[I'm very sorry]
Jung Ja is late today.
Did she call you?
What happened?
Nothing.
What were you doing?
Um…
It's Dad.
Mom.
Look at me.
You and Dad take things too lightly.
I'm sorry Da Mi. I'm sorry.
Okay, each of you would've had a reason, and I hope that's the end of it.
But, that's not it.
I still have things left.
It didn't end for me.
Am I mean?
It's very fresh.
Eat it all.
Okay.
I broke up with Doctor Sung.
Don't talk about him from now on.
He was okay when I looked at him more.
Be quiet.
He was better than you.
Hey.
Are you telling me to be his third wife?
Third?!
Yes.
After he and his wife broke up,
his wife came back to him seven months later and they remarried.
But, when her boyfriend came,
things got mixed up, and she told him to break up with her.
She's a crazy woman.
Is that guy an idiot?
Is he a dodo head?
Okay?
He's an idiot and a dodo head,
so don't talk about him in front of me.
If you talk about him one more time, you're a seven poon* (*eight poon = dodo head).
It's true.
It's not funny?
Yes.
It's very funny.
Be happy, Noona.
Lose weight first before acting cute.
But Noona...
When you think about it, I feel sorry for him.
You feel sorry for him?!
Yes.
Because he's like you. He got married twice to the same woman,
and it's to a mean woman.
Noona.
If you feel sorry for him, you live with him. You live with him.
Noon, I…
I'm sorry.
Why are you here?
Father-in-law…
Mother-in-law.
Father-in-law.
I can't live without Shin Ae.
Please forgive me.
Hyung…
Hyung, get up.
Um, Hyung…
What should we do?
He peed.
Tomorrow's the test day.
Open the door.
Open the door!
Ji Suk!
Action!
It's cold!
Did you tell that you liked Kang Ae?
Aren't you sad?
Should I get married?
