Trot Lovers
Episode 9
There.
Here.
Fried rice! It's fried rice!
There's seaweed in it too. I'll enjoy eating it.
Let's eat.
Where is the mister though?
I got 100 points on my plant observation diary.
The mister isn't going to come anymore.
Why? Where did he go?
He went back to where he came from.
Where he came from?
Let's eat.
You like this?
Your taste is horrible.
I promise to get your guitar back for you later.
I don't think it'll work with the new President.
Why?
I was going to expose how Choi Choon Hee was living with Jang Joon Hyun
and drag Choi Choon Hee down
but the new President blocked the news.
He even kicked Jang Joon Hyun out of the company.
Really? Joon Hyun even got kicked?
He's a guy that is looking at another girl, and that girl is none other than Choi Choon Hee.
There's no point in dragging on.
Just give up.
Mom!
I miss your cozy and warm body temperature
so much that you're the only thing I think of every day.
Yes, Soo In.
You're here.
What is it?
I want to ask you to write songs for my next album.
We talked about that before.
I heard that you quit being Choi Choon Hee's manager.
If you produce my album
then you'll be able to completely get out of scandals like living with Choi Choon Hee.
Isn't that right?
How do you know about...
I would really like you to compose songs for me.
Soo In, but...
I'll assume you're going to do it and wait for you at the company tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Soo In.
Miss Choi Choon Hee, please go in.
Yes.
Choi Choon Hee.
Do well.
- Here. - Thank you.
Tae Song is going to come soon.
Thank you.
I don't understand why Tae Song didn't tell me he had such a pretty girlfriend.
G-Girlfriend?
So that's why
Tae Song looks happier these days
and he chuckles alone.
That's all because of you.
Because of m-me?
Come over often. I'll help you a lot.
Thank you, Owner. No, I mean Ji Sook.
I'm back.
He's back.
Thanks a lot for coming with me.
I've never bought makeup for women.
Looks like it's a present.
Is it for the girl you like?
I told you she's not just a girl.
What should I call her?
Goddess?
Her lips are as red as cherries.
Her eyes are large like a deer's.
I am more or less a goddess, but how can he compliment people like that in front of them.
Mr. Tae Song, how about this one? It's a popular color recently.
Is that so? Could you try it on?
I want to see the color.
Good idea.
I'll put it on.
What are you doing?
It doesn't look good.
Saying that when you actually like it.
What about this one? This one?
You were going to just leave after recording?
You're making me sad.
You should go after having a cup of coffee at least.
I'll enjoy it.
You know your broadcasting ban got lifted because of coffee, right?
- Sorry? - You didn't know?
Gosh, don't even mention it to me.
That disgusting Jang Joon Hyun stalked my office every day.
Then I poured hot coffee on Jang Joon Hyun so your ban got lifted.
Now that I think of it, he must have planned that too.
He wanted to make me feel sorry so I would lift your broadcasting ban.
Seriously.
Now that I think of it, why haven't I seen Jang Joon Hyun these days?
Jang Joon Hyun.
How did you find out about this place and come?
I asked Tae Song of course.
Hey! How can you leave without a word?
I told you I was leaving.
Still, you should say goodbye before leaving.
How can you leave after giving notice the day before?
After leaving, you don't even call?
Why do I have to call?
Because we're friends. Are we not?
We just work together. What do you mean "friends"?
I'm busy. I have to prepare my comeback album too.
Hey, you're seriously...
I came because I have something to say.
I heard about everything from the Station Director.
Your arm got hurt because of me.
I don't know what you heard from the Station Director
but I didn't hurt it because of you.
Therefore don't come find me again.
Leave.
Hey!
Leave!
Fine. I'll leave.
What are you doing right now?
Hey, if you do this once more, I'll kill you.
If you produce my album
then you'll be able to completely get out of scandals like living with Choi Choon Hee.
Isn't that right?
Welcome. I knew you would come for me.
Hello, Miss Choi Choon Hee.
Hello, Senior.
Joon Hyun said he would produce my new album.
Sorry?
Are you feeling uncomfortable around Miss Choi Choon Hee?
What?
You used to be Miss Choi Choon Hee's manager
but now you're my producer. It's normal to feel uncomfortable.
There's no feeling like that between professionals.
Let's go.
Joon Hyun said he would produce Soo In's album.
Yes. He told me he was going to prepare his own album.
Looks like he hasn't gotten over Soo In yet.
What?
Then Joon Hyun and Park Soo In dated?
Huh? I-It's not like that.
Soo In is Joon Hyun's first love.
Joon Hyun wrote Soo In's debut song for her.
You.
You like Joon Hyun, don't you?
Huh?
Coach, say something that makes sense. Gosh. Seriously.
Well, I'm not a player in that field, so I can't train you at all.
But don't other people notice things like this first?
If it's not then never mind.
Oh my, President. Hello.
What brought you here?
I got food for free last time.
So today I plan on cooking for you.
Sorry?
Byul said last time that she like me coming over.
Byul likes me so much.
How can you believe in what a child says?
Excuse me, President. Excuse me, President.
Salt.
Plate.
P-Plate.
Oh right. Don't you have to change this cabinet?
This is usable now.
The mister fixed it already.
- Who's the mister? - Our mister!
Nothing.
Wow. You're really good at cooking, President.
Eat a lot.
Yes.
My Byul is eating well too.
He said that meat is supposed to taste good when it's bleeding like this.
Who said that?
Mister said that a long time ago.
Eat. Eat, eat.
Excuse me. This still has a crack
so I'll change it to another cup for you.
Do you get stamps for appearing? Why do you keep coming?
How do you know that...
Why are you here?
You talk first.
I just ate dinner at Miss Choi Choon Hee's house.
Why does a guy who just ate dinner look like this?
Why? Is something not going well?
I'm so happy to see you being miserable.
I feel so refreshed.
- Are you really my father? - I know that you like Choi Choon Hee.
You're a ghost.
There's nothing your father doesn't know.
Looks like you're really in trouble this time.
You've never waited for a person or anything else, right?
Try waiting this time.
without clinging on.
No matter what it is, you'll get one chance if you wait.
Father, that's easy to say...
I don't know anymore.
I'll just use this chance to work hard.
Is that so? That's a great idea.
You're excited again.
President.
You're eating lunch here?
It's simple and good. It doesn't take a lot of time either.
What are here for though?
Jang Joon Hyun is now Park Soo In's producer.
You just need to sign here.
Yes. I'll read it slowly and give it to you tomorrow.
Sorry?
I'm going to do my work properly.
Why? Is it weird?
No. Not at all.
Also, I think we need to clean up our company's home page.
We need to stop people posting on the forums or block them.
We need to take measures.
Why? Did something happen?
Since Choi Choon Hee's ranking on the music chart keeps rising
there's rumor going around that Shine Star raises trot singers.
People keep saying that they'll become the second Choi Choon Hee
and they upload videos and files to the main website.
The second Choi Choon Hee?
Come here please.
Come please.
Director Wang, I really love you. I really do.
Let's carry out that project.
But since it's trot, the singers' levels aren't that high.
The madams and misters in the neighborhood all gathered together...
We just need one gem among all those people.
I'll persuade Miss Choi Choon Hee for sure.
Director Wang, you're really the brain of this company.
Try this.
I told you to sing the chorus. You just hit each other and fought?
It's not like that. They started it first.
Really.
Miss Na Pil Nyeo, you won't work.
Don't come starting tomorrow.
PD Kim, they really started it first.
Senior.
Senior?
Miss Na Pil Nyeo is your senior?
Yes. She's my senior at Shine Star.
Is that so? Well then, come once more tomorrow.
Miss Choi Choon Hee, you're appearing on our broadcast this time, right?
- Don't forget. - Yes.
Senior, how have you been?
What do you mean "senior"?
It's been a long time since I got kicked out of Shine Star because of you.
You're doing well so do I look pitiful now?
I'm just glad to meet you.
From now on, don't greet me even if we meet each other
because you're bad luck.
Got it?
Hello?
Yes, President.
You want me to be a judge for an audition?
Can I do something that great?
It's supporting the company's effort to find new singers.
As you know, you're our company's only trot singer.
Therefore Miss Choi Choon Hee must, must help us.
I don't know if I'll be of much help
but I'll do my best.
- Here. - We enjoyed our meal.
- Thank you. - Yes.
- Hello. - Welcome.
You came alone today.
That bastard... I mean Yoo Sik seems to be busy today.
You're really tired lately because of Choon Hee, right?
We're not tired at all.
If our singer does well
I'm happy. You're happy. Aren't we all happy?
"Two birds, one stone."
Sorry?
Nothing. Here.
This.
What is this?
I want to thank you for preparing warm Korean sausage soup for us every time.
No. It's nothing.
What are you talking about?
Please accept it.
It's a small expression of thanks.
Still, this is a bit...
Please open it.
They say that you're supposed to open presents in front of people.
- If you raise this part... - Yes.
Oh my. This seems really expensive.
I don't know if I can accept this.
Of course you should accept this. Don't you know who I bought this for?
Bro!
- Wait... - How can you do this?
We should go together if you left your phone.
This is betrayal! A hundred percent betrayal!
Be quiet. This almost broke!
- We'll be leaving now.
- Yes. Yes. - Bro, I'm hungry.
- Just one spoon. - No, no, no!
- We'll be leaving. - Bro, over there...
Tae Song, didn't you get off work just now?
I'm going to leave now.
Goodbye.
If I picked a present, he can just give it to me.
When is he planning to give it to me?
Did he write a confession letter too?
Mr. Tae Song.
Mr. Tae Song, what were you worrying about?
You could have just gave it to me.
Thank you.
By the way, what kind of friend do we have to go so far to meet?
Instead of a long explanation, search for "Trot Prodigy Seo Yoo Mi" on the internet.
For some reason this place isn't busy today.
Looks like there's no trot audition today.
There's casting at the provinces today.
Hello, Director.
- Hello. - Is the President going himself then?
The President and Miss Choi Choon Hee are going.
- Why is she... - What kind of President works so hard?
Looks like he's really not busy.
Why would a President go there himself?
What are you doing?
You like Choi Choon Hee.
What?
You could have just stuck to her. Why did you leave that house?
I feel like I'm suffocating.
Excuse me kids, do you know where a student called Seo Yoo Mi is?
Seo Yoo Mi?
It's her. Isn't it the one that sings? You know.
The kid with a scar on her face?
Try looking where the bronze statue is.
Thank you.
Because of a name I couldn't have while alive
I could only send away my longing heart in tears.
I want to do it, but my dad would never allow it.
My dad is embarrassed of me.
There's nothing more to say, so please go back.
Can't you give her one chance?
Mister, Yoo Mi wants to sing so much.
Shine Star will raise her to be a great trot singer.
I don't need any of it.
I can never let my daughter appear in front of people.
Wait a moment.
What are you?
Mister, perhaps... Is it perhaps because of Yoo Mi's face?
What?
I'm asking do you dislike Yoo Mi appearing in front of people with a scarred face?
What?
Get lost, you two.
Right now!
Mister! Mister...
What is it now?
I have something to show you.
You don't know how happy Yoo Mi is when she sings, right?
You might change your mind if you watch this video.
I'm warning you.
If you bother me once more, I'm going to call the police.
Mister, can't you think about it once more?
Do it for Yoo Mi at least.
Mister, mister.
Excuse me. Mister!
You said you must finish something once you start it.
Choi Choon Hee, you're sure having fun.
Yoo Mi is going to be disappointed.
You did everything you can.
Let's go.
Where's the car?
I remember it being somewhere near here.
Looks like our car got towed.
Business hours are over.
They said business hours are over.
Huh?
This is a huge problem.
It'll be hard for us to take a train.
Why?
It's leaving in about 53 seconds.
47 seconds is enough.
Miss Choi Choon Hee. Miss Choi Choon Hee!
Hurry up and come! What are you doing, shaking that paper around?
Looks like we missed it.
Here.
What is this?
Were you joking?
You really don't know how to give up.
I used to be a marathon runner.
- Seriously. - I forgot about that.
Are you perhaps singer Choi Choon Hee?
Yes. That's right.
See? I was right.
I'm your fan.
Is this your boyfriend?
He's handsome.
- No, he's not. - I won't tell anyone.
- In return, sign this for me please. - Me too. Me too.
Yes.
Here.
I should give you something in return too. Here. It's squid. Eat it please.
Oh my. Thank you.
- Share it between you two. - Yes. Thank you.
Madams, secret...
I told you not to worry.
He's really not my boyfriend.
When I was in New York, I would roast squid to eat sometimes.
But I got reported because of the smell.
The police came.
Then you couldn't eat squid after that?
Because of that? I ate so much squid after that. I roasted even more to eat.
The police came a few more times after that. Then they didn't come anymore.
You can run marathons.
Huh? Why?
You're not supposed to drink yogurt like that. Watch me.
Hold it, and then there's this part at the bottom.
Do this.
Like that.
Why do you drink it like that?
This way you can drink that last sip.
Really?
That's not bad.
- It's not bad, right? - Yes.
- What are you doing? - Mom!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Shall we run away?
Huh?
Kids don't stop once they start crying.
There's security...
Mom!
Baby, why are you crying?
Where is your mom?
Where did she go?
- Mom! - Why are you crying? Why?
What should we do? What should we do?
We've sent out a broadcast, so the child's mom is going to come soon.
Oh my, thank you.
Miss Choon Hee, if we don't go soon, we're going to miss the train.
Baby, your mom is going to come soon so wait a while.
- I'll be leaving first. - Let's go.
Yes.
Don't go.
Should I really not go?
Should I sing you a song then?
Well...
Bong, bong, bong. A really small car, a baby car is driving out.
That's a song from our times.
Playing is the best.
Friends, gather around.
It's always fun with naughty mommy.
Should I sing some more?
- Jang Poom. Jang Poom. - Mom.
My baby. What should I have done?
I found you.
The train left just now.
That was the last train.
Then...
Then we'll have to wait until the earliest train comes.
Byul is probably waiting.
What? She missed the train?
Then when is she coming?
She missed the last train so she'll probably take the earliest one.
She called because she's worried about Byul.
I'll hurry up and go first.
Wait...
She's going to take the earliest train back?
I really don't know what to say.
Why are you sighing alone?
You appeared at the perfect time, President.
Call your son right now.
Why should I call him?
He went to the provinces with Choi Choon Hee because of work.
They're still not back yet.
Why did he go to the provinces with Choi Choon Hee?
That's just what happened. Call him and ask him where he is right now.
Huh? Why should I?
I don't think there's anything to worry about.
What?
A grown-up girl is spending the night with an evil guy with evil thoughts.
You're not worried?
I'm going to go crazy.
You might have forgotten this, but that guy with evil thoughts is my son.
Whatever. If he missed the train, he should have took a taxi here.
It's not like he doesn't have money or something.
Didn't he do this on purpose?
You ordered me to do this and that.
How did you raise your son?
I know, right?
There are things that even I can't control.
- Here. - Yes.
Now that I think of it
I overdid it just a while ago.
My dad was against me running marathons too.
But I found out that it was to save me.
Isn't Yoo Mi's dad against it not because he's embarrassed of Yoo Mi
but because he's worried she'll get hurt?
I hope that Yoo Mi can sing
even if she gets hurt.
But parents might think differently.
Every person is different.
But I vote for what you just said.
Here.
You're probably tired, so rest well.
You take care on your way home too, President.
- Sleep well. - Yes.
What is it?
Are you really the President?
You told me to leave because there might be a scandal.
What is this?
You brought a female singer to the provinces and then came back together at dawn.
What happens if there's a scandal between you and Choi Choon Hee?
A scandal?
I don't mind.
Sorry?
You can't block a scandal
but I can.
Work hard.
Sister.
Wake up.
I'm awake.
Sister, we have to go to the cooking competition at school together.
Is that so?
Is my Byul hungry?
Let me sleep a bit more.
I'll be back.
You sleep well too, Byul.
Hello, Miss Choi Choon Hee.
Hello, Senior.
Have you ate yet?
If not, come eat with me.
- I... - Why?
Is it because I said something to you last time?
I was being too sensitive that time.
I'll buy you something delicious as an apology.
- I... - Let's go.
I ate already...
Welcome.
Goodbye.
Come in.
I met Miss Choon Hee so we came together.
It's okay, right?
Yes. Well...
Sit down, Miss Choon Hee.
Yes.
Soo In, you're going to order cold buckwheat noodles, right?
I ordered it in advance.
Thank you.
What do you want to eat?
I'll get bibimbap cold noodles.
Can we have another order of bibimbap cold noodles please?
Soo In, have you thought about the concept for you new song?
I don't know. I plan to place everything in your hands.
I feel reassured since you're composing.
I'll believe in you.
By the way, you should have wrote some songs for Miss Choon Hee.
You were her manager before.
I don't write songs for just anyone.
Our food came out first.
Go ahead and eat first.
Soo In, you don't put soy sauce, right?
Joon Hyun, water please.
Instead of water, drink warm broth.
A singer needs to protect her throat.
Here.
Thank you, Joon Hyun.
Wait a moment.
It's done.
Enjoy your meal.
You too.
"I don't write songs for just anyone."
Is that so?
You don't write songs for just anyone? Then you're a bad guy now.
You bad guy.
You're a bad guy now.
[Bad guy]
Bad guy.
Choi Byul.
Mister!
Where have you been and what have you been doing all this time?
What do you mean what have I been doing? I'm a really busy person.
Why is your expression like that though?
You got zero points on your exam?
No.
Family cooking competition?
Schools hold things like this too?
Sister is having a hard time, and the Coach is busy.
I don't think I can do it.
Is that so?
Why did you take all the keys?
I'm sorry.
Here.
Byul is here too. What are you doing? Come in.
Never mind.
I'll be leaving, Mister.
See you again.
The theme of today's family cooking competition is "our warm home".
The family that gets first place will get a ukulele
so please all try your best.
- Shall we start then? - Yes!
For those whose family couldn't participate, you can work with me.
Byul, come here.
Byul's family is here.
What is this?
Red, orange, yellow, green.
Use them.
Mister, you're the best.
Byul, shall we flip it?
Once more?
- You did well. - Thank you.
Today's first place goes to...
Choi Byul's family. Congratulations!
You did well.
You did well too.
The first place's prize is a ukulele.
- Congratulations, Byul. - Thank you!
That's completely cheating!
That mister isn't Byul's family!
You only have a sister.
Isn't that so? He's not your dad either.
- Mister is my family... - Oh my. Is that so?
It's a family cooking competition. Isn't it against the rules if he's not family?
What do you mean it's against the rules?
Byul, is he your uncle perhaps?
I'm not her uncle
but I'm definitely her family.
- What is he if he's not an uncle? - He's not family then?
What is happening?
I'll keep the prize for first place for now.
I'll notify you of the results after meeting with the mothers.
You've all worked really hard today.
Teacher, how can you take it back?
That's unfair.
We are family.
Hold back.
Don't be too disappointed.
I'm just happy that you came.
You're such a saint.
How can you two sisters be so alike?
Why did you come today though?
Because we're family.
But keep this secret from your sister.
Got it?
What a waste.
[Notice about family cooking competition]
Byul.
Why, Sister?
Why didn't you tell me about this?
That's because...
Today...
- Hello? - Hello, I'm Byul's homeroom teacher.
Hello, Teacher.
We decided that Byul's family remains first place.
I called to let you know about that.
Sorry?
Thank you. Yes.
Byul, she said you got first place in the cooking competition.
Wow! Really?
Congratulations.
But Byul, who did you participate in the cooking competition with?
This is a secret.
The mister helped me.
To MJ. MJ?
Who's MJ?
Mi... Mi Jung?
Min Jung?
Mi what?
Senior Soo In is SI.
Who is this now?
He sure has a lot of girls.
What is this?
- I'm sorry. - Don't touch my things from now on.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Jang Joon Hyun.
It's good that you're keeping your distance from Miss Choi Choon Hee
but don't say things without thinking.
Before you give advice like that, you should behave properly yourself.
A scandal is deadly for a female singer.
I understand
so please stop worrying about Miss Choi Choon Hee's business.
I'll take care of it.
Come in.
Hello, Senior.
I have something to show you, Miss Choon Hee.
What is this?
Looks like the paparazzi secretly gave this to the company in return for money.
Joon Hyun quit being your manager because of that.
He left your house too.
He wanted to protect you.
I can't watch Joon Hyun having a hard time any longer.
That's why I'm telling you this.
Her eyes aren't pretty. Neither is her nose.
How did I fall in love with you?
[MJ (Crazy medal girl)]
Did my heart melt because of your smile?
I think I like you.
When you hug me
all my hardships get erased.
It sounds like a lie.
I miss your cozy and warm body temperature
so much that I think of only you every day.
I think of only you every day.
Compared to anyone else in this world
me and you fit better.
Please hold me so I can stay by your side.
I heard about it.
You left the house for me.
What are you talking about?
I said I heard all about it.
Because of the paparazzi photos, you protected me by...
I don't what you heard from where.
I didn't do it to protect you.
I did it for myself.
I want to make a comeback so I'm worried about rumors like that.
Did you really leave because of your comeback album?
Is that right?
Hey, Choi Choon Hee.
You seem to have misunderstood something.
You're nothing to me.
Gum.
Why aren't you falling off me?
I want to erase every single memory I have of you.
Then what about this?
What is this?
What about it?
Can you say that after seeing this?
Why did you buy me this then?
I said this is pretty at Kangwon Province.
She's crying because of a cheap hair pin now.
Anyway, I want to forget everything related to you.
The god of music Jang Joon Hyun being a trot singer's manager?
It was the worst time in my life.
Therefore don't appear in front of me and bother me.
Don't even talk to me.
Can you get out please?
Get out.
I said get out.
Get out!
Are you not going to get out?
Then I'll leave.
I'm sorry.
- What is it? - Jang Joon Hyun!
Did the Miss go to you?
Why would Choi Choon Hee come?
She's been acting strange lately. She's disappeared without a word.
What?
What's the manager's job?
You should have kept an eye on her.
Hey you bastard, how can a human walking on two feet keep an eye on her for 24 hours?
That's not the problem.
Her Music Tank ranking is going up, and there's not much time until her concert.
There's so many things she has to practice. Where do I go find her?
Choi Choon Hee.
Choi Choon Hee!
Byul!
Choi Byul!
Choi Choon Hee.
Where are you?
What is this?
I said this is pretty at Kangwon Province.
I love the look in your eyes when you stand next to me.
Although I cried yesterday.
Today I'm going to be happy tomorrow because of you.
I don't need someone handsome or cool.
I just needed tender love.
I'll forget all the past days.
Now I can't do anything without you.
I don't know anything but love.
Subtitles by DramaFever
Why do I feel like you have a special someone now?
I'm going to propose on stage with this.
You asked me if I liked anyone else.
There's someone like that now.
Miss Choi Choon Hee likes someone else.
It doesn't matter who she likes.
I'm fine as long as I like her.
You mean Soo In can't stand on stage today?
News about Soo In's car accident has spread everywhere.
Is it because of Choi Choon Hee again? Are you being like this because of her?
How can you talk about dirty things like that?
Evidence is coming out everywhere.
Looks like Shine Star's Choi Choon Hee has a lot of enemies.
