It's Baek Jaeun!
Did you know that you were admitted illicitly?
Did you know that and still act as the school's PR model?
Have you contacted Professor Seo Jeonggwon since?
Please say something.
Did you pay the professor?
Baek Jaeun, please say a few words.
How do you feel right now?
Let's go.
Her eyes look like she could kill me.
Did I tell her to cheat her way in? Why glare at me like that?
Did you know that your father gave Professor Seo an expensive watch?
No, I didn't know.
Did he really do that?
It was purchased using your father's company card.
We checked the point of purchase too.
I don't know why he gave it to the professor but he's not like that.
I will ask you about your admission procedure.
Through your academy or through your father...
Did you receive prior information about the practical task?
No, of course not. Never.
Alright. Thank you.
If you find out why he gave him the watch, will it prove
that my dad is innocent?
Should I ask the professor myself?
Detective, you don't know my dad. That's why you suspect him.
He would never do that.
The results will be announced soon. You may leave.
Okay.
It's true that my dad's business failed several times.
He trusts people easily and that's hurt him many times.
He got married several times too.
That's all true but he would never do anything immoral.
He wouldn't do that. You must prove that he's innocent.
Please reveal why he gave him the watch. Please.
Here. You dropped your hat earlier.
The case files got out due to my carelessness and then onto the news.
I'm sorry.
Hit me if you want to. You can hit me all you want.
I don't want to waste my energy on you.
I want to spit on you, but you're not even worth that.
You robber. Thief.
The results will clear you of charges as soon as possible.
The reason your dad gave him that watch won't be revealed.
But I will continue to investigate. I'll risk my job to do that.
If you and your father are innocent, then wait.
I'll find out why your father gave the professor that watch.
I promise you that.
Promise? Do you even know what that is?
Your father broke the promise he had made to an old friend.
You joined your parents and took the farm from me.
You rotten coward. You're just incompetent and corrupt.
Go out the back door. The reporters are still outside.
You rotten coward. You're just incompetent and corrupt.
She's gone. She snuck out through the back door.
Do you know her?
Look into the chief and Baek Inho's relationship.
There's a connection between them.
Collate all the records from their teenage years.
Taehui.
Talk about tasteless. Just die.
What are you enjoying so much?
The video of Baek Jaeun.
Dad, what's going to happen to her now?
She was illicitly admitted. She can't come to school, can she?
It's none of your business. Don't take interest.
Yes.
- I need to go to the bank. - Okay.
I know Baek Jaeun well.
It's the professor.
- Professor! - What are you doing?
Now that it's out in the open, I should say it's not Baek Jaeun.
Should I tell everyone that Lee Seungri was illicitly admitted?
If you don't end this for good, I will take action too.
I didn't mean to do that...
Taehui! It's me!
Taehui, hello.
Taehui, drive carefully.
Why are you home so late?
I heard you can't investigate for a while.
Did you have dinner? Want to go have pork bone soup?
Let's have a drink. You like that.
Why's he acting like Taesik?
Okay.
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
It won't happen again. Please let it go this once.
I promise.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't greedy about scoring a scoop.
But more than that, he got away with the same crime 9 years ago.
It was about Professor Seo. That's why I reported it.
It may sound like I'm making an excuse, but it's true.
I promise you that this will never happen again.
Thanks to you, Baek Jaeun is being slaughtered on the web.
I know. I didn't expect that.
It was to get Professor Seo. Why did she get involved?
You saw. I used initials.
I made sure all the videos were in mosaic.
Why did you report it? Why?
I feel uncomfortable too.
I didn't know people would unlock the mosaic patterns.
Technology is so advanced these days...
Ah, man...
Jaeun, it's Mr. Hwang. I'm worried about you because you won't pick up.
Please call me.
Dad, why are you outside?
Taehui, I was waiting for you.
What happened? Did Jaeun really cheat her way into university?
Did you see it too?
Yes. Did she bribe her way in or not?
I don't know, which is why this is driving me nuts.
Baek Inho did hand him a watch, but now he's gone missing.
Professor Seo denies everything. We have no further evidence.
I investigated. Baek Jaeun's talented. She didn't need to cheat.
- What happens now then? - How will this be concluded?
The investigation will be closed and the charges will be cleared.
They won't say she's guilty. Don't worry too much.
Really? She didn't get illicitly admitted then.
Jaeun won't be punished.
- Yes. - That's a relief.
I felt terrible all day. I can breathe now.
- Let's go inside. - Yes.
I'll get that for you.
You get the pillow.
- Taehui and Taebeom are home. - Okay.
Taehui says it will be concluded that Jaeun didn't bribe her way in.
- That's good. - Yes, what a relief.
About Jaeun...
Go to bed early. We have to spray the fields in the morning.
Let her stay with us. Just until she graduates.
She went through all that. I feel really bad.
I feel like I could die.
You went easy on me many times until now.
You met a fool like me and went homeless many times.
You didn't kill me and forgave me through all those hard times.
- Just save my life once more... - No.
- Park Bokja. - I said no.
As you say, I went easy on you numerous times.
So this time, you go easy on me.
- I can't live with her. - Why not?
I'll take care of her. You just feed her.
Let her clean up and do her own laundry.
- Or I'll do it for her. - No, I said I don't want to.
I hated her from the beginning. I can't stand her.
How can I live in the same house with someone like that?
You're so mean. Why don't you like her?
Do I have to have a reason for hating her?
I hate her more than webworms. I said no!
Go to bed. I'm going to put the rice in the cooker.
Park Bokja! You're so cruel!
She's just so evil. She's terrible.
No, I have to fight this.
If we get over this, things will all be back to normal.
I did terrible things to retrieve this farm.
No, no. Don't be weak.
Yes, hate her to death.
Just chew her up and eat her.
No... Not this farm.
This farm is my lifeline.
I lost my parents when I was young and was always careful around others.
I got married when I was 20. 4 years younger than you are.
I worked my hands to the bone my entire life.
I worked so hard that I don't have any fingerprints left.
That's how I earned this farm.
I can't give you this farm. I can't.
Even if I am punished after I die...
I will take that punishment. I can't give it back while I'm alive.
I can't give it to you. I won't give it back.
Not while I'm alive. No way.
Dad!
Were you having fun?
- Did you eat a lot of eggs? - Yes.
You should go in too.
Don't move. I'm putting a facial mask on you.
Don't worry, just sleep. I'll take it off for you.
I'm not sleeping. I just dozed off.
No, don't move. I don't like you looking old.
I'm going to do this for you every day.
Go to sleep. Shut your eyes.
When did you bring that? It's hot. You don't need a scarf.
Stylish girls die from the heat in summer and the cold in winter.
It's not easy being a fashionista.
Goodness, listen to yourself. You little squirt.
You're the only person who calls me a little squirt.
I'm the 3rd tallest person in my class.
Alright, just go. You'll be late.
How do I look? Pretty?
Yes, pretty. So radiant that you're blinding me.
Okay? Hurry up.
Wait a minute.
There he is, Minjae. Mom, I'm going.
What about your pencil case. How are you going to study?
I'm going to ask Minjae for a pencil.
I'll borrow his today and thank him with rice cakes in hot sauce tomorrow.
That's how love begins.
- What? - Mom, I'm going now.
Be careful.
Study hard. Call me when you finish school.
Who does she take after?
I'll borrow his today and thank him with rice cakes in hot sauce tomorrow.
That's how love begins.
Are you going to stay unwed and work here until you die?
Yeongja? It's me, Misuk.
Are you going to work too, mother?
What are you talking about? What is that?
Hana's mom works at a duck restaurant.
I made some bulgogi for her to bribe her.
She doesn't have any power. She just serves there.
You never know unless you try.
If I see an opening, all I can do is dig and find out.
What's happening with that lady, Yejin?
I'm meeting her tomorrow.
You're making progress!
- I'm going. - See you later.
Look at those 4 works of art going to work together.
I'm so satisfied I won't be hungry until dinner.
Where is Changsik?
He went out early with the spray gun to spray the fields.
He listens to me these days and he's quick on his feet.
Good for you. You have 4 handsome sons and an obedient husband.
Yes, I'm really blessed.
- See you later, mom. - Goodbye.
Yes, see you later. Taebeom, try to sleep here.
Yes, see you!
The misfortunate old hag is going to say bye here.
- Taehui, drive carefully. - Yes, grandma.
Hongseol, I forgot to give you breakfast.
I'll go and hand this over then come to feed you.
I made some bulgogi. Eat it with Hana.
You didn't need to do that. Thank you.
Why didn't you tell me that you work at a duck restaurant?
I won't ask anything more. Just ask your boss to visit.
He just has to come once to look at our ducks.
Our ducks are one of a kind.
No, it's just a few days late.
It can't be.
Mom doesn't seem affected.
Dad looked like he hadn't slept much.
How can he sleep?
Dad said Jaeun won't answer her phone.
As if she would answer.
She probably wants to chew up our entire family.
I read the comments on the web. I feel really terrible.
Why did you read those? It will just make you feel bad.
- How can I not? I'm worried. - It's okay.
After the charges are dropped, it will quiet down in a few days.
Don't read them and feel guilty. Don't read them at all.
Let's talk about this while it's in the open.
How about returning the farm?
I met Baek Jaeun.
She lost the written promise. She doesn't expect it all back.
She asked for half the farm. What do you think?
You think you're so good. I'm so sick of it.
- Taepil. - How do you feel?
It's not the entire farm. It's only half.
Answer me. The farm does belong to her, you know!
Are you really our brother?
I'm a police officer who puts criminals in jail.
Every time she sees me, she calls us robbers and thieves.
She wants to tear me to bits. It's killing me.
The written promise is gone. We are not obligated by law.
Isn't that right? Taebeom? Taesik?
Yes, but from a moral and humane perspective, Taehui is right.
Don't say that in front of mom.
Moral? Humane?
How do you feel, Taebeom?
I'm on mom's side, no matter what.
If mom says yes, fine. If not, then no.
- Why are you such a coward? - Call me cowardly or selfish.
This farm has been mom's world over the past 10 years.
She had such a hard life living with dad over the last 40 years.
I don't want to preach to her about morality.
I'm going to take mom's side.
Yes, that's good. That's what I wanted to say.
If you want to give it back, then you convince mom.
Bro! Let's at least say hello once in a while.
Goodness. Suyeong the reporter!
I was promoted to team leader ages ago. Don't you even know that?
Did you get promoted?
I heard you questioned someone about Professor Seo.
- It was nothing. - Come on.
Any related professors or employees? Tell me.
You didn't have to bring this.
Thank you.
I should ask the detective in charge myself.
Where is Detective Hwang?
Detective Hwang? Where is he?
- Lunch delivery. - Yes, here.
Come on, let's eat.
Enjoy your meal.
Suyeong, join us for lunch while you're here.
That's strange. Why won't you tell me where Detective Hwang is?
It's not that I won't tell you. It's that I don't know where he is.
- What's wrong? - I think I have indigestion.
I felt sick all morning.
Enjoy your lunch. I'll come back next time.
Hello.
Can I have a box of those?
This?
That's $5.
- This too. - Yes.
This too.
Yes.
Here.
Can I also have a pregnancy test kit?
Excuse me?
Why didn't you say so? You're not the age to feel embarrassed.
Please wait here.
Go!
Yes, alright.
Take off your gas masks!
Take it off quickly!
Charge ahead!
The Marine Corps camp experience was a short 3 day camp.
But it was a hard fight with myself.
I learnt the will and confidence needed to overcome hardships.
This is IBC's Hwang Taebeom reporting from Marine Corps camp experience.
No way. It can't be!
No way! Is it faulty?
What's wrong with her? Gosh, she's so annoying.
Suyeong's been gone all day. Our team's so quiet today.
- Everyone else is working hard. - Yes, I know.
Things are just going to get worse. I'm worried.
What if our entire team gets wiped out?
- What do you mean? - It's nothing.
Did you hear something? What? Tell me.
Is our program getting cut?
No.
It's not that.
This is top secret. You can't tell anyone.
You know I can keep a secret. What is it?
Congratulations, you're pregnant.
Do you see the womb here?
When did you move?
It's been 2 months. I was too busy to call.
That's so typical of you!
Is Hana enjoying school?
Yes. How is Jinho?
He keeps growing sideways, not vertically.
He takes after his dad. He eats a lot.
Misuk, there's a really good product.
Children's dental insurance. It's just $25 a month.
It costs so much to go to the dentist.
Yeongja, let's talk next time.
- What? - Go.
- Kim Misuk! - I'll call you later.
- Misuk! Misuk! - Bye!
Hwang Taesik!
Me?
Hwang Taesik, Haesin Elementary School, 4th grade, class 2.
Who are...
- An Yeongja? - Yes, it's me! Yeongja!
It's been so long. I haven't met you since we graduated.
Yes, it's great to see you. You haven't changed a bit.
I know.
What are you doing over at my house?
Your house? I came to see Misuk.
Goodness! Do you live above Misuk's house then?
Wow, what a coincidence.
Misuk? Who's that?
Misuk! Kim Misuk!
Oh! You're still here.
She's Kim Misuk. The cleanliness captain of 4th grade, class 2.
Don't you remember?
- Kim Misuk? - Misuk.
Come here, this is Taesik. Hwang Taesik.
Who? Who is Taesik?
The multiplication table expert. Don't you remember him?
He was in our class in the 4th grade.
I think I might remember him.
Oh! Hwang Taesik!
I remember. You're Taesik? Goodness.
Yes.
- What a coincidence. - I know.
Wow. I had no idea!
It's great to meet you, friend.
Oh, Taesik!
- Should I get some ointment? - It's alright.
Are you the same age as me?
I went to school early, so you must be a year older.
Don't talk politely to me. You can talk down to me.
When I feel more comfortable.
Your face has changed a lot.
If it wasn't for Yeongja, I wouldn't have recognized you.
Really? Have I changed that much?
Yes, who would imagine that we are friends?
You look at least several years older.
In which grade were we in the same class?
4th and 5th. We were in Taengja's class both years.
- Taengja? - Yes.
- Taengja's class. - That's right.
Yeongja, Taesu, you and I went over to Taengja's house.
Oh... Taesu.
We didn't go over. She called us to help her move.
When I think of Taengja, I get so mad.
You ate the most black-bean noodles.
Did I?
Anyway, nice to see you, Kim Misuk. We get to meet by chance like this.
Yes, nice to see you.
We met when we were 20 too...
Wait.
Good night. From Yejin.
Why are you laughing?
I'm just happy to see you.
If you smiled any more, you would tear your mouth.
You look like the old you, now that you're smiling.
I remember now. You should smile like that.
Look how pretty you are.
What are you doing out here?
Taepil, when did you get home?
What's dad doing? Why are you doing the hard work alone?
It's not hard. It's these trees who are having a hard time.
So much has been damaged by insects this year. Maybe it's the rain.
Stop now. Spray them later with dad.
I prefer working out here than just staying at home.
Don't worry. Go inside.
Okay, let me help you.
- Hello. - Wait. Come here.
Baek Jaeun.
I don't need to explain, do I? You can stop coming to work.
Why all of a sudden?
Alright. Please pay me for the week that I worked here.
- What? - You have to pay me.
$5 an hour, 4 hours a day. A week's worth.
I worked overtime for 2 hours on the weekend.
That's $150. Please pay me.
Hey!
Customers stopped coming thanks to you. And our reputation is ruined.
Do you know how much damage you've caused?
If I calculate the cups that you smashed doing the dishes...
I should be getting money back from you.
So just get out of my face nicely, okay?
I didn't stop customers coming here. You never had any.
More people have come here since I started working here.
You said so yourself that you made 3 times as much.
You're back to normal now. You can't call that damage.
The cups I smashed? You bought them in bulk for $1 each.
I broke 2, so take $2 out of my pay. Just give me $148.
Pay me, please.
Now!
Okay, I'll give it to you!
You paid your way into school. Money's important to you.
I forgot about that!
What? How much? $148?
Okay, I'll give it to you. Take it!
Talk about being fearless.
The last thing she said was that she had nowhere to go.
Now that this has happened, I feel so bad.
I see.
Mom won't live with her. I tried to convince her.
I think we should give her the deposit for a studio apartment.
- What do you think? - Do you think she'll accept it?
You don't think she will?
I don't know. Anyway, that's what you want to do, right?
Yes.
Can you lend me the $30,000 that you have?
- I see... - Is it difficult?
No, it's not difficult.
Is $30,000 enough? Should I discuss it with the others?
Don't do that.
I know what Taesik and Taebeom will say.
If it's okay with you, lend me $30,000.
Okay. It hasn't matured yet.
I'll look into it at the bank. Just give me 2 days.
- Don't tell mom or your brothers. - I won't say a word.
Thanks. I feel better now.
You must be busy. Go back to work.
My friend's father passed away. I have to go and get changed.
I have to go to Daejeon right away.
I'll go after I drink this.
- Really? - That's ridiculous.
- Cha Suyeong's no fool. - What's going on?
He was talking nonsense.
He says Cha Suyeong's pregnant.
It's true. Eunsil said she saw her pregnancy test kit in the bathroom.
What?
If you don't trust me, just take a look.
She practically lives on coffee. Let's see what she picks.
This can't be. No way. It doesn't make any sense.
No, it can't be.
God can't be that cruel.
Even if she is pregnant, it's not because of me.
It's not me. No way.
It's not me.
Hwang Taebeom, you and I are really close, right?
What are you on about? I'm busy.
Now and always, I am on your side.
If you get promoted, you'd better look out for me.
What's gotten into you?
You saw Suyeong press the button for juice before.
She must be pregnant.
The department head doesn't like her much anyway.
She's pregnant now. She won't maintain her position much longer.
Choi Hyeonuk!
I wonder who the father is.
It couldn't be someone from the newsroom, right?
Whoever it is, imagine if he has to marry her.
Cha Suyeong of all people.
You work in her team. How can you say that?
Some rumors should be protected.
You shouldn't talk to people about such private issues.
What? You're on my side?
How can you call yourself a human and co-worker?
This is about manners for a fellow human.
It's not like she has a zit.
Or that she got drunk and acted violently.
It's about a woman's life and her dignity.
How can you spread such rumors?
You're making me feel embarrassed.
Fine. I didn't know that you cared so much for her.
It's not about that!
Even if you hate her, don't step over the line!
Stop spreading that rumor, okay?
Okay?
Okay, fine.
Continue editing then.
It's okay. It will be alright.
If there's a problem... If there is...
I was just about to call you.
Let's go out for a bit. We need to talk.
I was in the middle of editing.
That's not urgent.
I won't take long. Just give me 30 minutes.
I have to tell you something.
Alright.
It's shocking, so I will get straight to the point.
I'm pregnant.
From the night that you and I were together.
I wasn't sure, so I went to see the gynecologist.
I confirmed that I'm pregnant.
So?
I thought I should tell you.
Okay, I'll take note.
Is that all? That's all you have to say?
Are you too shocked?
Your reaction's a little off-putting.
What did you expect then?
As you said, this is a real shock.
How should I react?
- Why do you seem angry at me? - What are you going to do now?
I don't know. I'm thinking.
Then think about it. I'm going inside.
If...
If I... This child...
Let's think about it first.
Think about the overall situation and the rest of our lives.
Let's not make a hasty decision.
- Come out I said. - Why? It's late.
Just come out.
Goodness.
I have to sleep before 10. It's for my complexion.
Suyeong's coming late. Let's have some wine.
Have a seat.
You don't like wine.
I like it, it's just not as much as you.
I like your choice of music.
It's Beethoven. The man you like.
Hold the glass like this.
The temperature of your hand could affect the flavor.
Cheers.
- Do you remember Milky Way Cafe? - Of course.
I liked it because they played classical music.
- It's probably gone now. - Of course. It was so long ago.
It was when we dated. Over 35 years ago.
35 years... That's a long time.
I've lived longer with you than I have with my parents.
Yes, same here.
Yeogyeong, forgive me now.
We've been together for 35 years already.
I'm not healthy anymore. If I sleep on the sofa...
I can't get up for ages. My back hurts.
Let me back into our room.
Lay out a mat then. Why sleep on the sofa?
What I mean is that I need your warmth.
On a mat, on a sofa... I don't like sleeping alone.
Married couples should sleep under the same blanket.
We should depend on each other.
Yeogyeong, Yeogyeong...
- Then why did you do that? - I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I told you over 100 times. Nothing ever happened.
Nothing really happened?
I told you already. Nothing happened.
She had a crush on me.
It's okay. You don't need to get so worked up.
As you say, it's all in the past.
In the same manner that we are speaking about Milky Way Cafe...
In 20 years, we could laugh and talk about this.
You kept it such a secret.
That made me more suspicious and it made me imagine things.
Really? Nothing really happened.
Tell me the truth. It's in the past.
You held her hand, right?
Did you?
Well... I held her hand once or twice.
I didn't do it. She just thrust her hand at me.
- You held her hand. - Women these days are forceful.
Other women aren't like you.
You held her hand?
What's wrong... Honey?
I'm just stating the fact that you held her hand.
You held her hand?
Are you crazy? Don't drink from the bottle.
- Stop drinking, Jaeun. - Let go!
- Isn't that Baek Jaeun? - Yes, the corruption goddess.
How can she dare to drink anywhere near the university?
It tastes so good. Drink up, guys.
Jaeun, let's go and drink at my house, okay?
It's my treat today.
- Is she crazy? - Where to now?
- Did you take a photo? - Karaoke?
Post it on the web.
Let's get out of here, Jaeun.
Let's go.
Why should I?
Hello, I'm the famous Baek Jaeun, yes I am.
What? Why can't I drink here?
Why do I have to hide?
- Jaeun. - Jaeun, Jaeun.
How can she drink here when she bribed her way in?
Bribed my way in? Did you see it?
Did you see me pay my way in?
Or did the police announce that it's true?
You don't have any proof. How dare you curse me?
Why does it concern you how I got into school?
If they announce I'm innocent, you'll just shrug your shoulders.
You just want to chew me up, tread all over me and kill me!
Take it. Take as many photos as you want.
Hello, I'm Baek Jaeun.
The famous national goddess.
Jaeun.
Come on, stop it!
Wake up.
- Jaeun. - Water...
Are you alright? Drink this.
Forget it. Let's go drink hard liquor.
I have money. Look.
- Here too! - What's she doing?
I'm so rich. Let's go!
What do you want?
Goodness, stop it.
Let go! Why should I stop?
What did I do wrong?
Do you think I'm a joke too? Is that why?
What? Hey, Baek Jaeun.
Jaeun. Ara, don't fight. She's out of it right now.
You're happy on the inside as well, aren't you?
You like it. It's fun that I've turned out this way.
What's wrong?
You're laughing on the inside and making fun of me!
- Tell me the truth. - Jaeun...
I don't need you. Get out of here!
Namsuk, let's go.
Yes, go! Get lost!
I'm not scared.
I'm Baek Jaeun. Baek Jaeun!
I don't need this. I don't need my dad or my friends!
Get out of here!
Taxi!
Let's see. Did you all sleep well last night?
Taepil!
Taesik!
You're not seeing anyone right now, are you?
No, I'm not.

- Get up! - Give me my farm!
Give me my farm!
