Episode 13
- Go Sun Hee! Where is she? - Over there.
Mom!
Honey! Honey! Honey!
What happened?
Doctor! Doctor!
Mom. Wake up! Mom!
Mom.
This is your destiny
Eenie Meanie Minie Mo. Which one should I drink?
Even though they are all same, each one has a different taste.
You're here.
Sweet.
What are you going to nag about now?
Hyung, let us put on the musical, "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho".
Forget about it. How?
Don't you feel sorry for the participants?
Besides, we have the script, the songs and the actors.
That again? We don't have a stage or the lead actress, though.
So if we do get them, can we start again?
We have no lead actress. What are you talking about?
First, see who came.
Aren't you Jo Sung Woo?
How have you been all this time?
What do you mean all this time?
Do you know me?
Just live with me, you fool.
Okay, okay, okay.
So if Sung Woo does a demo song at the Daegu International Music Festival,
we will get the sponsors, right?
We have it, right? Both the stage and the lead actress.
So cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute.
Wow, I can finally stick out my tongue in relief that I have hope to live.
So you were that little young man from long ago?
You really can't remember, can you?
[I, Jo Sung Woo, will appear in Goo Jak's project for $1. November 11, 2000]
Contract for $1. Instant noodle and kimbap.
You said you did not need it so I kept it with me.
I remember now! I remember! I remember!
That was so long ago. So if I feed you, you will agree to work on my project?
You're kidding me, right?
Should I tear it up?
What are you saying? Joon Hyuk.
I was also constantly thinking about the sponsors but is this a dream or reality?
Hey, Sang Woo! Get us more rice wine!
On such a happy day,
wouldn't it be so much better if Hong Jae Yi and Go Eun Bi were here, too?
Should I call?
[Enemy Goo Jak]
[Operating]
I don't think the car accident was the problem.
She hit her head on the ground after hitting the car.
Will she recover if she gets surgery?
You already know about the tumor, right?
There is a haemorrhage inside but...
I couldn't do anything because of the tumor.
We will have to see.
Now if you'll excuse me...
Mom...
What was she diagnosed with?
Malignant brain stem tumor.
She couldn't be treated?
While you were studying in America, we even went to John Hopkins.
She couldn't get treated because the tumor was in the brain stem.
She's been given 3 years maximum.
She's been very sick lately.
That's too much. Both of you.
Sun Hee!
Mom!
Your mother did not want to be a burden in your life.
She said that she didn't want you to ruin your future for a sick and easily confused mother.
By 'my future', do you mean the future
that was set up by my grandfather for this family?
I threw it all away for your mother.
But we didn't think that it was fair to take that away from you, too.
So Grandpa threatened that he will take
all of my opportunities away if I stayed by Mom's bedside?
And you guys couldn't ruin my future,
so you lied to me and came to Daegu.
And I was fooled
by Grandpa so that I didn't even see Mom up until now.
Jin! Jin!
Jin!
Where are you going?
Leave me alone for a while.
What's going on at this late hour?
Whatever the goal is, once it is set,
find the best efficiency for the lowest cost.
You taught me that that's the path that I should follow.
And...
Why was I not able to see my sick mother,
and hated my father who has been taking care of her?
Not my goal but yours, Chairman.
I see, how is she?
If you're asking if she's alive,
then yes, you could say that she is.
But she had a convulsion right after seeing me.
She ran out and got into a car accident.
We don't know when she will regain consciousness.
You want to ask what my goal is
or do you want to ask why I chose that path?
Which one do you want to explain?
Are you even ready to hear it?
Not an excuse or an apology but an actual explanation.
Excuse or apology? That's not even in your vocabulary.
How long do you think I will live?
For the things I want to do for the rest of my time,
how much money will I need?
To buy everything that I love,
it will take too much time and there is not enough time.
But why did I have to make such a cruel decision?
Can you still not understand it?
For your empire - because Father is a better heir than Uncle.
If he can't do it then at least I should...
Why does this company, this corporation have to be more important than our family?
Because it's a corporation!
I will pass away. Your mother will pass away.
Even you will pass away someday.
But the corporation needs to survive and do the job!
But it exists for the people in them.
We made a promise to the shareholders,
to the consumers and to the government to trust us.
That we will run the company at whatever cost.
That's the basis of a corporation!
If I take care of the happiness of my family first,
I can't keep that promise!
It may be too difficult for you to understand that.
Even if I could turn back time,
I would have made the same decision.
Yes, Sunbaenim.
You're awake already?
You stayed up all night, didn't you?
The main male character will be someone who fails at everything.
He'll finally get hurt and then become a player.
- A player? - Yes.
A guy who never looks at the same girl twice or gets serious with anyone.
A bad guy.
Not just a bad guy, he has trust issues.
He is someone who believes that love is just a temporary emotion.
A guy who can't trust love. A girl who doesn't know love.
And they end up falling in love with each other?
That's right.
Do you want to help Jae Yi and Eun Bi that much?
Huh?
It's about them!
Is it?
Anyway, we have to downsize our theatre.
And we also need to center it around the lead actor.
I like this line.
Isn't it great?
If Sung Woo says this with his voice, it would become a big hit.
Nice.
Did you know that Jae Yi was going to sign such a contract?
No, I only found out a while ago.
And the producer that's working with him...
I didn't know about that, either.
So how did it end between you two?
Once "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" gets on the stage,
I thought that I was going to see him on the stage, too.
You're saying that Jae Yi was nothing more than a songwriter to you?
I wuv yu.
I never thought that I could say this and really mean it.
What if love ends?
Musicals, the stage, love and my lover will all end together.
Why do you have to think about the ending first?
People can abandon the ones they love.
Just like Bae Gang Hee Sunbae left you and chose "The Count of Monte Christo".
A person...
A person's heart can always change.
I don't want my musicals to be at stake because of that.
Because musicals mean everything to you?
Yes.
If musicals are everything to you, what am I then?
You are the person who led me to these musicals.
It's okay.
I get it.
Bye then.
Is he still asleep?
Hello?
Yes, I'm sorry. I'm kind of busy at the moment.
I'm driving right now. I will call you back again.
Do I know you? Who are you calling?
Aren't you Goo Jak?
Yes...
I will call you back.
I'm Goo Jak. Have we met?
I called you.
Oh, who are you?
I'm Hong Jae Yi's high school friend.
I'm also the producer for his album.
I see.
Jae Yi has finished all the songs except for his title song.
Is he done with writing songs? Would he have time then?
The melodies are done.
We just have to edit, record in America, mix and produce it.
Wouldn't it take a few years?
Ah, yes... I guess so.
How did you know that it was me?
You look exactly like how Jae Yi described you.
I see.
How did you know my number?
It's my job.
Jae Yi is finally back to what he's really good at.
He is slowly getting his touch back.
It was really hard for him to get here again.
I... You know...
I wanted to apologize.
Not apologize...
but I wanted to let him know that we're finding a way.
When Jae Yi finds out, he will like it.
He will like it and be shaken,
and the moment he decides to help you and do musicals again,
there will be a $1 million lawsuit.
The media will be on him,
and his life will be over as a songwriter.
Is that what's going to happen?
If you just leave right now, then that won't happen.
I see.
I know what you mean.
Thank you.
When I'm exhausted, lonely and comfortless
My heart is heavy with troubles...
Father, have you eaten?
You can just talk properly.
She's not asleep.
Oh, yes.
I brought you something to eat.
No, can you stay for a bit?
Let me rest.
Okay.
You must be happy, Mother.
I just wanted to live like you two.
I thought I could do that if I marry Jin.
But I don't know anymore.
What should I do, Mother?
After such a long period of time
I came here
After a thousand years have passed I'm still alive in this world
I keep enduring through various kinds of pain and now, only I am left
I cannot fall into the river of love, I definitely will not love anyone again
But starting from the first time that I met you
Time stopped
and my love began
Longer than a thousand years, a lonely love
It's fancy because it's a title song.
I can tell that you know already.
It's the same as Do Hwa's song from "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho".
It only has a few rhythm differences.
Right?
Goodbye.
What would you do if I'm Hong Jae Yi?
Hong Jae Yi? If you're him, then I'm Bae Kang Hee
Teacher!
It's beating wonderfully, isn't it?
Do you like the song?
You were really great on stage.
Thank you.
Eun Bi!
We said that we were going to go on this path together.
We have to stick to our word.
I really gave up.
Let's start all over again.
You're still working hard.
Have you had breakfast?
Yes, I had coffee.
Mom!
Jin.
Mom!
Jin.
My Jin, it's been a long time.
Mom, I... I didn't know you were sick.
Jin.
Hmm?
I'm sorry.
No, Mom.
Sun Hee!
We can't explain it with science.
But nothing has improved according to her MRI.
I can't predict how long it will last.
The only thing I can tell you is to be with her
as much as you can and do everything that she asks.
It's certain that she doesn't have much time left.
I'm sorry for making you come all this way.
Don't say that!
Does your mom recognize you?
Yes, she is eating porridge. She talks about your kimchi.
I did get her other things that she likes.
Thank you so much. Please come this way.
There's not much time left.
But I'm so thankful that I have this chance to thank you like this.
You need to get back up.
I'm just thankful that I can at least say goodbye.
It'll be greedy of me to ask for more.
Sun Hee.
Grandma, you know he doesn't have a mother-in-law.
He doesn't have a mother, either.
That's why Jin has neither grandmothers.
Will you treat him just like you treated me?
Thank you.
You're really going to let me eat,
until I say "I can't eat anymore!", right?
Okay! Let's stuff ourselves! But where are we going?
We're going there!
Where?
You know, we have to get drunk first.
Let's start with rice wine first.
Should we?
Oh, yes, Ra Kyung. Don't you have to go to the hospital?
No, it's okay.
Let's go.
- Shall we? - This way, Madam, let me escort you.
Music
Is magic
When the music comes on stage
and the exciting music starts to flow
Let's love for a long time and let's dream
Only love is not enough
Ra Kyung
Angel
Seo Ra Kyung
Oh, angel
Everything I have ever dreamt of has come to tonight, oh angel
Tonight my dream will come true
Cheers!
Seo Ra Kyung!
Hey!
I haven't seen you smile like that for a very long time.
Hey! Forget it all!
What?
Whatever is giving you trouble.
Forget it! You don't need him.
Bad guys that give us girls hard times...
You don't need them.
She's right.
By the way, Jang Joon Hyuk.
Do you know who you're up against?
You're up against a prince - the heir of an empire.
How would you score with a goalie like that?
How are you going to do it?
You know, no matter who the goalie is, I will keep shooting with faith.
You're so cool, Joon Hyuk.
Game over!
Just live with him.
You got nothing to worry about. Live with him!
If he wants to make dramas, you make it for him.
If he wants to do musicals, get him musicals.
Live with him! You're a princess.
Don't make it obvious that he bribed us.
Hey! Don't tell people about the bribery.
Look at the teamwork here. She's so dumb.
Rice wine and egg pancakes, you call that bribery?
Joon Hyuk! You know I like the hairy guy over there.
Can you introduce us?
Really?
Okay.
It's only a few days until the performance.
Take care of your health and your voices.
Yes!
Let's have a chant.
Monte Monte Fighting, okay.
Monte Monte Fighting!
Thank you.
We have 3 more weeks until the demo.
I don't know how we will do it, but we started practicing again.
You should come over. We all miss you.
Are you really going to be okay?
I'm okay, Jin.
I want to drink coffee.
Yes, hot Americano and chocolate chiffon cake.
Good man.
You must find the determination to be happy.
And try to figure out what makes you happy. What makes you happy.
Just doing your best won't make you happy.
Life will get miserable if you just leave it.
I will.
Same thing with marriage.
Don't ever do it because of someone or for someone.
You have to marry someone for yourself,
when you can't marry anyone else but her.
Mom.
Promise me. Promise me that you will try your best to be happy.
Jin, can you get me some tissues?
Okay.
Mom!
I got you tissues.
Mom!
If you're done with your coffee, shall we go upstairs?
Mom!
Do Hwa's...
You first.
Do Hwa's song is a great song.
Yes, I know.
It will do well in Daegu.
Then it will be out in the world again.
When, if I ever get back on stage for "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho",
I want to...
Take it.
Yes.
Yes, I will go right now. Okay.
CEO Yoo's mother just passed away.
Goodbye.
What took you so long?
Should I have asked for permission to use the bathroom?
You work overnight all the time.
I guess you should be able to take showers anywhere.
This isn't just anywhere. It's your house.
Oh, yes, Goo Jak came a few days ago.
He wanted to apply at the Daegu International Music Festival and try to get the show up.
And?
I asked him not to tell you and surprise you.
You can't go back.
And?
If someone begs you and you can't do it. You will just feel bad.
You always hated doing something
that will make you feel bad so I did it for you.
Is this part of the contract, too?
No.
I wanted to be a villain for you.
It's also something that I can do
because you said you're not going to come.
I'm the person who knows you best in this world.
You don't have to do anything.
People do not change so easily.
Especially the ones that only think about themselves.
No. I don't think this is right.
Seo Ra Kyung? Yes, this is Hong Jae Yi.
Where is the morgue for CEO Yoo's mother?
Morgue?
He is in the hospital.
Who said that?
In order to be happy, you must put in the effort.
She told me to promise her.
Your mother did?
If you don't try your best, your life will become miserable.
You must be determined to be happy.
When you look at my family, it is so true.
Someone just called Eun Bi.
He said that CEO Yoo's mother just passed away.
Yes, Mom.
I'm still at the office.
I'm leaving.
I'm not married yet, how can I act like a daughter-in-law?
I will take care of you. You just visit the funeral.
Don't visit like everyone else does.
Please, Mom.
[My Do Hwa, Eun Bi]
Chocolate chiffon cake and Americano.
Just for a second, can you stay with me?
You're late, what about your grandmother?
She wanted to stay at the hospital.
So I came here to get my clothes.
Teacher Hong Jae Yi!
You don't have to call me that just because you haven't seen me in a while.
Please sit. Let me get you tea or something.
He just gave me a ride.
I have late night cravings these days.
Let me go eat ddukbokki. You two can talk.
What?
It's really awkward. It doesn't seem like it's been that long.
- The person... - Do you...
Eun Bi, answer me without thinking.
If it's hard to answer, you can nod or shake your head.
Do you love CEO Yoo?
You can just tell me comfortably.
I think I deserve to ask you this and hear your answer.
Right?
Yes.
If it's hard, let me ask you something else.
You...
Did you miss me?
Have you thought about me without thinking about musicals?
I missed you so much,
and got all the way here even though I don't understand why.
I thought you moved on so well.
Do you love that man, CEO Yoo?
No, I just thought that I could understand how CEO Yoo feels,
and how hurt he is.
I see.
Do you love me then?
Eun Bi... I... Please help me once. No, I mean please save me once.
How can I?
Just a day this weekend. Just one day at the music festival.
What are you doing?
I'm arranging music sheets.
W-Wait!
If you miss the timing, you will lose the girl and the capital.
This weekend, you will make a great sub.
Prepare well and show them what you've got.
Yes.
I found out while I was singing Do Hwa's song. The song was telling me...
That it's my confession to you.
