[Samkwang Printing]
[Episode 1]
I'm sure that I said a hole in one.
- It says eagle here. - You wrote it down wrong.
I'm sure...
I think you misspoke.
What's the problem?
You took this order, right?
How could you make such a mistake?
They're nothing alike.
Even if you don't know anything about golf...
We did what you asked.
Jeez.
A hole in one and an eagle are totally different.
It's hard to do even once.
Would you like us to redo it?
Yes, of course.
Finish it by noon.
What?
I need it for a ceremony at noon.
Enough. Just refund the deposit.
Look for another shop.
[*Hyung: Older brother or older male]
- *Hyung, Hyung! - What?
Hey!
What?
Now you're shouting at me?
I need to use the car today.
Why do you wash your hands up here?
You mess up the sink.
So what?
Do you have to go today?
I have to deliver a banner later.
Go with your brother.
Jeez, that jerk...
I refunded his deposit.
Make sure to find out who the bastard is.
If you don't, I don't want you to come back either.
You, your mother and Bom... Three generations live there together.
Yeah, yeah.
As long as Bom keeps her mouth shut,
there's no way for us to find out.
It doesn't make sense. She'll go into labor any day now.
We still can't press her for an answer.
Imagine how she'd feel. She's so young.
I know.
So you'll let her have a baby with no dad?
It isn't a matter of letting her or not.
The baby's coming anyway.
I'm just heartbroken.
Bom.
She's my daughter.
She was always bright, even as a child.
I thought she'd be the next *Kang Kum Sil.
[Korea's first female minister of justice]
That's a dream I had for her.
I've had
such high expectations for her...
Aww!
Oh my!
Are you okay?
Darn it!
Throw it away!
It was broken a long time ago!
Why are you so upset?
He asked for it.
He's mad because he knocked himself out of the chair.
Her friends are going to college,
but look at what she's doing instead.
They look too serious.
You should dress up properly.
Your acceptance is a natural result.
You real studies
will begin with this.
You remember what your grandfather always said?
Yes.
A true jurist is
a dispassionate humanist
and also a passionate rationalist.
Yes.
The most modern
and the most classical
all in grand manner.
If you study law,
you will eventually internalize all of that.
You'll become accustomed to it.
Come to the table.
[*Oppa: Older brother or older male]
Hi, daddy. Hi, *Oppa.
Hey.
You're not hugging or crying tears of joy?
Father has known since two days
before the announcement.
Really?
How?
One of the professors is his friend.
Ah-ha!
Your network is so cool.
It's embarrassing to make a fuss over something so natural.
Over sixty students at your school were accepted.
I heard one of the mothers shouted for joy on the subway.
"My son got accepted to Seoul"
"National University!"
Oh my.
What a shame.
If a prestigious university is the only hope of success,
we live in a sick society.
Maybe we're the strange ones.
Our whole family line has gotten in too easily.
Titles aren't important.
It's content that matters.
Yes.
Jeez, you're such a hypocrite.
Yi Ji.
Will you meet her again?
Who?
Bom Bom.
What are you saying?
I saw it in your notebook.
I'll be downstairs.
What?
What are you doing alone?
Everyone's gathered over there but the seniors.
They treat us like old people.
How are you getting home tomorrow?
I'm taking the subway with my friends.
That's right.
What about you?
The school bus.
Right.
Go back to your room.
I have to pack up and finish a report.
Will you not see me until the SATs are over?
Yeah.
How?
I don't know.
By drawing a beard on your picture?
I'm not confident I can do it.
We'll be happier seeing each other after waiting.
Why don't we meet once a month then?
If I fail
to get in with rolling admission,
I have no other choice.
That's why I came to this camp.
You know that my grades
and my SAT scores aren't good enough.
Can I come in for a minute?
Why not?
Change your cell number tomorrow
and don't ever contact me.
I'll do the same.
I understand,
but if we split up like this, I won't be able to make it.
Just for a minute.
No.
I can't trust you.
I don't know if I can control myself either.
Hey.
Bom!
Seo Bom.
[Unni: Older sister or older female]
*Unni!
Go.
I'm scared.
Me too.
[63 students accepted into Seoul National University]
For those who were admitted,
don't show your pleasure too much.
For those applying for regular admission,
the school strongly recommends you take
various university prep classes.
If you submit a plan for a short-term overseas study program
or other work, it'll count for your attendance.
These plans are due by tomorrow.
That's it.
- Han In Sang. - Yes?
Come see me.
Who is Seo Bom?
I usually throw away fan letters
to our school students,
but this is an exception.
Hey.
You can't get it for free.
Give... Give it to me.
Why didn't I throw it way?
Because it's so special.
Look.
"A letter in care of Han In Sang's homeroom teacher."
"Attention: Han In Sang."
Wow.
She's very intelligent.
Is it a girlfriend?
No way... I mean no, sir.
We promised to meet after we got into university,
so...
Jeez, he sounds so serious.
If I give this letter to your parents,
you'll be under the full scrutiny of their surveillance system.
It'll be like house arrest.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Hey!
Han In Sang!
It's good that
we changed our number while we're apart.
Both you and I were great.
I actually got rid of my cell phone
to avoid the electromagnetic waves.
I care about my health more than anything now.
Write to me
if you haven't changed your mind yet.
No, even if you have changed, still contact me.
I have something to tell you.
May 31st.
Seo Bom.
I dropped out of school today.
I can take a school qualification examination next spring.
It's policy that I can take it six months after disenrollment.
That means
I have to take the SAT next year too.
June 15th.
Seo Bom.
I walked by your school today,
but I just turned around.
I'm going to forget you now.
I hope you get into whichever university you want.
Goodbye.
[Shinyoung Girls High School]
I can't tell you the reason for dropping out
or any personal information.
Then how can I find her?
[Neulpooreum Reading Room]
She quit at the end of May.
Can I have her contact info?
Something like her address.
That's personal information.
Please?
She moved out
a long time ago.
Her apartment was put up for auction.
I assume that her family had some crises.
Her grandfather passed away
and I heard that
she was sick.
I think that's what I heard.
Relax.
You can do either a butterfly posture or cross your legs.
Sit back to back
and then twist your spine.
Father turns to the left.
Mother, to the right.
That's right.
Keep your chest up.
Keep your backs together as much as you can.
Slowly go back and forth.
That's right.
One more time. Move to the opposite side now.
That's right.
Open your chest and look over your shoulder.
Come back slowly again.
Good.
Let's have one more set.
To the left.
Chests up.
Breathe out
and come back.
Mothers, slowly lie down on your backs.
Fathers,
sit in front of your mother's knees.
Slowly
lie down now.
Keep two fist lengths between your knees.
Press your heels to the floor.
Keep your legs parallel.
Mothers, lay your hands down
beside your buttocks lightly.
Slowly breathe in
and lift up your bottom.
Slowly.
We're here for a regular checkup.
She's due next month.
You said you live in Seoul.
My parents live in this town.
The air is cleaner here too.
I see.
Is she your daughter?
Yes.
I see.
She looks sweet.
Her in-laws must love her.
Actually,
they adore her.
I'm very grateful.
My granddaughter got married while she was still in college.
Her parents-in-law even financially
supported her through graduate school.
Wow.
Her in-laws are like that too.
They told her to stay in school.
That's good.
If they can afford it,
why not?
A daughter-in-law is their child too.
Indeed.
Ms. Lee Jung Moon.
Yes.
It's my turn.
- Thank you. - Bye now.
I made up another story.
I end up doing it
when I make excuses.
I'm well aware of your wishes.
Will you really not tell me?
Will you really have a child with no father?
Why do you need your phone?
Who are you going to call?
Who is it?
Do you still keep
in touch with him?
Hello?
Yes, my address is
21 Samahri Street, Cheonjimyeon.
I requested a boiler repair.
Ah, yes.
I know that you're busy,
but please come as soon as possible.
An old woman and a pregnant woman
are about to sleep in a cold room.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Please visit us quickly.
Don't get your hopes up, mother. I was dumped.
What?
I told you I got dumped.
Is that how I've raised you?
I've barely...
I've barely accepted this,
but I can't forgive you being dumped.
You said being dumped was better than dumping someone.
That only applies to breakups without children.
It's snowing, mother.
I don't care.
Joo Young, it's In Sang.
Please find someone for me
without letting father know.
Her name is Seo Bom.
She dropped out of Shinyoung Girls School in June.
I only know her last address.
I have a bad feeling.
Right?
I also heard she was sick. Please, *Noona.
[*Noona: Older sister or older female]
I only need to review the revised part, right?
Here and here.
Okay.
What about finding a trainer for In Sang?
I'll have a report tomorrow.
Okay.
He'll be headed to dinner in thirty minutes.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow.
Don't keep secrets.
Reject his request.
His parents have assigned you as the guardian for him and his sister
whenever they attended summer programs
because they want you to report
to them about these things.
I know finding someone is nothing
to the worldly Joo Young,
but if you get too involved, it'll be a headache for you.
His parents care the most about his relationships.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I can't help you without letting your parents know.
Actually, his acceptance
into university isn't the final goal.
He has the most important test left.
Yes, of course.
I'm sure that your husband is very concerned too.
We believe
in passing on intelligence and qualifications
more than money and power.
Don't worry.
I've looked into your family customs as well as the fates
of you husbands, fathers and sons.
Thank you.
Shall we?
Yes.
Let's begin.
For the sake of your son's great accomplishments
and for his bright future,
you should pray.
It will only work if you're sincere.
Okay.
In Sang!
I'll shower and get ready quickly.
Your house's rafters are too strong,
so I took special care with the north wing.
I know.
My parents-in-law invested a great deal in remodeling the house
so I've tried to preserve that,
but it still worries me...
You don't need to worry anything from now on.
Your son will be successful.
Thank you.
Also,
the thing I asked you to keep...
Keep it with you always.
It'll help you keep calm.
That's important.
Especially when they're young, we never know
what our sons are really thinking.
You should take special care with his relationships.
Do you see a woman for him?
I know your son is very calm and prudent,
but you never know.
I'll visit you tomorrow
to discuss that separately.
Yes, of course.
Bye.
See you tomorrow.
I heard
In Sang has a dinner meeting.
Yes, your wife will be attending as well.
It'll be her friends and their children.
Tell him to finish early and come home.
Before he gets too excited,
he should start studying for the bar with the trainer we're reviewing.
Yes, sir.
Jeez.
I should have come first.
I'm sorry that I'm late again.
Don't mention it.
I heard that you have good news.
Yes.
Thankfully, my son was accepted.
Please have a seat.
You must be a little disappointed.
Since the university is discontinuing
its undergraduate law program, generations of
fathers and son as alumni will end.
I know.
Why don't you let him take the bar exam?
The last exam will be held in 2017.
It'll be a challenge,
but then he won't have to go to law school later.
Yes, that's right.
Actually,
my son wants to do it.
I think he feels
- some kind of duty. - You must be proud of him.
You've raised your son well.
Thank you.
Your husband will be home at 10:30 tonight.
We'll be back before then.
Did you get soap in your eyes in the shower?
Your eyes are red.
I'm okay.
Why don't we talk business
before we have dinner?
Sure.
I heart the cabinet reshuffling had been decided.
I'm sorry, but I found out
about it before the official announcement.
Don't be sorry.
You're
already a key figure.
Well.
Since I have many
important people in my Hansong Law Firm,
I have a chance to be involved
in high official's personnel affairs.
Actually,
Hansong Law Firm has the best talent pool in Korea.
So...
The selections were made?
Yes.
First of all,
three ministers will be replaced.
Minister of Strategy Yoon Byeong Hwan.
Minister of Education and Science Ahn Myeong Taek,
Foreign Affairs Yoo Kyung Wok.
Those are good choices.
It isn't bad, right?
Their hearings should go well too.
Right.
What about
the prime minister?
About you...
You'll need to step down for now.
I expected that I would be the prime minister
with the shortest term.
There have been many rumors too.
I'm so sorry.
You don't need to be.
Then...
Who is my successor?
I think
you would say it's unexpected.
Really?
There are three strong candidates.
That's right.
Let's see.
Among the three,
the first one has property under his wife's name
and the second has an issue concerning
his son's military conscription.
Then it must the third candidate, Yoon Sang Won.
We concluded
that he's been overestimated.
Then?
The next prime minister
will be Song Won Young.
Public sentiment isn't favorable to him.
He's still in litigation from a case from
the previous presidency.
It doesn't matter.
He only testified for the case
as a witness.
He's invincible.
I think
Hansong is a lucky place.
I've thought that an adviser
to Hansong would be his last title.
He'll do well.
You know, he's an economic expert.
You should
gather strength for the next step.
How can I?
I'll enjoy some fishing
and write a memoir.
It's too soon for that.
You'll have another chance.
I'll help you out until then
with that same title.
- I'm not so useful anymore. - Don't say that.
You're the only prime minister
who's a former Supreme Court Justice.
Fill up Song Won Young's vacancy.
It's a contract term.
You've prepared it already?
[Contract]
[...annual salary of $500,000...]
[...exclusive office and car will be provided...]
I hoped you'd like it.
Wow.
I'm not sure
if I'm worth all this.
It isn't much,
but please accept Hansong's will.
You should be our guide.
I'll do my best.
Tell me
what you need.
Why don't we eat now?
Sure.
Did you figure it out?
Why are you coming back then? The road is slippery.
I'm driving slowly.
Are you a barbarian?
She won't sleep in the cold.
Bom has parents to take care of her.
I dropped mother off at my brother's house.
We just got on the expressway.
We're coming anyway, so warm up Bom's room.
Your so strong, mom.
Let me ask you one more time before we get back.
What's his name?
Does he have siblings?
He has a little sister.
What do his parents do for a living?
They're self-employed.
What's he like?
I can't explain it simply.
What's his phone number?
- I don't know. - You do!
You'll startle the baby.
I'm sorry.
Did it kick?
Yes.
Look at me.
You're an adult when you defy your parents.
You can finally care about each other by then.
What are you saying?
We're here to celebrate our children.
They know what you mean.
Right?
He just pretends to be cool.
Okay, guys.
Honestly, this is boring to you, right?
Yes.
We're trying our best.
You should get used to meetings with your elders
whether you enjoy it or not.
That's the proper attitude to have.
Even if you have fun,
this place should be your limit.
He'll provide you a membership.
Jeez.
Let me settle this.
You guys, go out and have fun now.
Mothers, let's go up to my room and chat.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Min Jae and In Sang,
you'll take good care of my Hyun Ji, right?
She's the tough one.
I am not.
Being outgoing is good.
I think being coy is an illness.
If they try to go too far, In Sang will stop them.
Right?
Deviants.
You should go out and be deviants.
Hey, that place isn't fun.
Why not?
It's the hottest spot.
I have some friends there.
Let's get In Sang drunk tonight.
Oh-ho!
I found Seo Bom's current address.
I had to say no before because I was with Secretary Yang.
Should we take your car?
- Hey! - Huh?
What are you doing?
Hey.
I can't go. I have to meet someone.
- What? - Who?
Just someone.
I'll go home when I'm done.
Take my car.
What the...?
What a fool.
It makes me emotional
that all my elementary school friends' children
have become friends.
They'll be society's crème de la crème.
You've done a great job.
Or rather, your money did.
Hey. What did you say?
You can't buy dignity and quality.
Oh!
I heard In Sang will take the bar.
Huh?
I heard it too.
You're recruiting some star lecturer
as his private tutor and trainer.
For real?
I'm sorry.
I forgot how fast you all are.
It's true.
That's our plan.
Are you trying to kill him?
He only has four years to do it.
I tried to do it because of my father and it ruined my life.
Kids in these days are raised too soft.
They can't handle that.
That's why there are law schools.
Parents want to pass their firms
to their children, but the children don't do so well.
Was I too harsh?
No, you weren't.
That's true.
Are you a team now?
We aren't a team. We just have the same opinion.
Let him enjoy university life.
Why don't you send him to a law school?
I hear they select applicants
based on recommendations and not grades.
Don't say that.
I'm not forcing him to do it.
It came to In Sang naturally.
He feels his duty is to follow the footsteps of his
father and grandfather.
Ah-ha!
Is that why you called Ms. Ji Shim?
For In Sang's success?
Right?
No... No way.
Ms. Hong was in the neighborhood with her
and they stopped by my house.
Did you buy an amulet?
Hey, I want in on this too.
I want a lover.
She'd never introduce her to you.
She keeps nice things to herself.
We don't do such a thing.
Our family works with legal principles.
We don't believe in superstition.
It's too vulgar, right?
I heard that she's quite expensive.
How much?
I said I don't know.
I heard that they even offer collaboration work
with university admission consulting.
- Let's drink. - Yes, In Sang.
Yes.
Which friend?
Is this Yeon Hee's?
She's straight out of a comedy.
Give it to me.
So where are you now?
I'm downtown.
I'll come straight home from here.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
[Samkwang Printing]
What are you looking for?
You seem to be new around here.
Do you...
Do you live here?
I don't live here,
but I'm family.
What's up?
This student... I mean this man...
If you loiter at night, the police might stop you.
Come back tomorrow.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
- I'll be upstairs. - Okay.
Huh? They're here.
- Hyung, Hyung! - Huh?
Hey.
Bom Bom.
Uncle.
Hey.
Go on inside.
Dad.
Hey.
Hey!
Seo Bom!
Unni!
Come in quickly.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Oh?
What's the matter?
That girl who went in...
Say it.
Seo Bom.
Was that Seo Bom?
Are you the guy?
What?
Are you the one who got Bom...
Whatever. You're here to see Bom, right?
Yes.
Come on.
Follow me.
Oh, okay.
Close the door.
Yes.
Follow me.
Have a seat for a moment.
You haven't seen Bom for a while.
We have a guest here.
He's here to see Bom.
What?
Who is he looking for?
Bom. Seo Bom.
Come in.
Is that him?
Was it you?
You...
You!
Hey!
Let go! How dare you?
Why are you here?
You really didn't know about it until now?
No, no...
Don't!
Hey.
You didn't know?
No, I didn't.
You're saying you didn't know?
You bastard!
You can't just let him go!
Dad!
Let me talk to her.
Fine.
Jeez.
- Just bow to him. - What?
Bow to him quickly.
Do it!
I don't want to have it.
Just tell him to sit comfortably.
Yes.
Sit down.
Bom, Noo Ri, everyone.
You too.
It's okay.
Not you!
Stand up!
Stop it.
We've been waiting for him for so long.
I'm okay standing.
Let me explain first.
It happened because...
I love Bom.
I loved her back then
and I still love her.
I'll be responsible for her.
I'll marry her.
Hey.
I'll take her to see my parents right now.
I'll introduce Bom to them
and I'll explain it to them, too.
I think he's overwhelmed.
No, no.
I'm fine.
I just didn't know about it until now.
I just found out and
I don't want to break up with Bom.
Is that so?
Yes.
I mean it.
Then go right now.
Excuse me?
Take Bom to see your parents.
Okay?
It's too late to do that.
He said he'd do it.
- He was just saying it. - Go right now!
Bom, go get a jacket
and call a taxi.
Honey.
You shouldn't treat them like this.
Let them go.
It's not like he lives in Busan or the States.
As long as he's serious, it's okay.
Yes, let's go.
Is this a call taxi?
- Yes. - Mom.
Don't worry. I'll take care of this.
16-1.
Yes.
- Thank you. - Yes, yes.
It's okay now.
I should go home now.
Bye.
- Bye. - Goodnight.
Are you alright?
Yes.
Mister.
He and I need to talk.
Do you want to get out?
No.
Could you pull over somewhere
so we can talk here?
Okay.
I'll get some noodles while you talk. Is that okay?
Yes.
It'll cost you a lot.
That's okay.
If you're cold, turn the heat up.
Thank you.
I've had a lot to tell you.
Can I touch your tummy?
I think the baby is sleeping.
It moves a lot.
I'll tell you when it's kicking.
Touch it again then.
I...
can't imagine how much you've suffered.
I feel so badly it's driving me crazy.
Look at this.
This is a card for support funds.
It's provided
to all pregnant women.
This one is for girls
who get pregnant before eighteen.
It's to prevent a bigger crisis.
I can pay for my hospital bills
and buy vitamins with it.
When I went to apply for this card,
they said that I couldn't
because I was over eighteen,
but I argued they should count it based on
the day I got pregnant.
You did that yourself?
By the way,
I don't think
- you used a con... - Yes, yes.
I did use one.
It must have been defective.
Or....
I didn't know how to use it properly.
It was from the dormitory.
We found one in a drawer there.
I thought it was a lucky find...
Let's not talk about it.
It sounds like we're regretting it.
We made a baby because we like each other.
Actually, I did regret it.
The baby is lovely,
but it was so hard for me.
Incredibly hard.
I...
I left you alone
and I didn't know better.
It's okay.
We're together now.
I thought you'd come home with your son.
I think he's late.
Where's Oppa?
Let him have fun for a day.
It's a happy day for him.
By the way,
how are your parents?
He went straight to the study.
Ah, okay.
This is material on the hearing.
Lawyer Yoo Shin Hyung reviewed it
and the meeting will be at 9AM.
What time do I have the breakfast meeting?
It's at 7:30.
Min Joo Young hasn't finished the work yet?
I mean on In Sang's trainer.
There's a matter that hasn't been confirmed.
There's a record of him staying in China.
Is that right?
Thank you.
You may leave.
Yes.
I'll see you tomorrow.
You're back.
Yes.
Aren't you going to get off?
After Joo Young comes.
When I see In Sang with his peers,
he's actually quite different
in terms of his attitude.
Young Ra's daughter and So Jung's son...
They're just typical kids these days.
Being home-schooled made them different.
You know Ms. Hong, right?
The one who arranged our marriage.
What did she say?
She said the Seongbuk-dong family
thinks highly of In Sang.
They're frothy.
Wealth should be passed in a family.
In terms of titles,
even being a minister or a vice-minister isn't enough.
Not to mention a former occupations...
Huh?
I'm the daughter of a father like that
and I was handpicked as your wife.
The importance
of former occupations has changed.
You know that well.
These days,
office titles and wealth are escalating,
so they're hard to distinguish.
I can't find the one from such a small pool.
We still have time,
so let's think about it carefully.
He has to
concentrate on his studies for a while.
Studying is what In Sang does.
We should prepare the rest for him.
Huh?
Are you worried about hair loss?
Huh?
Oh, yes.
Let me see.
Should I get a hair implant?
No, it's okay for now.
I'll give you a scalp massage.
I have good aroma oils.
Aroma?
I think I should have followed her.
You aren't supposed to.
He came alone.
We can't go to his house in a group.
After Bom introduces herself confidently,
they'll come back with lowered heads.
That's how it works.
Don't feel small.
I didn't say that I felt small!
Jeez.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Are you done?
We're going to the restroom.
Okay.
What is he doing?
Hey, you fool!
That's not enough!
If you want to die...
Bom!
Get off me!
Bom!
Get off me!
You aren't alone.
Huh?
You can harm the baby.
You're a mother!
What about you?
Huh?
It's like babies are having a baby.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize to me.
I know you're immature,
but you should think about how to live now.
Yes, you're right.
I feel better now.
Are you okay?
No.
I'm sorry.
I won't ever do it again.
I won't be a coward anymore.
Okay.
I'm not scared now.
Mister, let's go.
It's wet.
Hold on.
It works.
Mom, I'm sorry that I'm late.
I'm fine. I'm on my way home.
You don't have to be sorry.
I'm glad that you have friends other than
Min Jae and Hyun Soo.
Huh?
Something to tell me?
Not now.
I'll tell you at home.
See you soon.
I can do this.
How did I do?
You did great.
That's who you used to be.
Mister.
Do you mind if we kiss?
Go ahead. I won't look.
Thank you.

- Who is she? - She's my girlfriend.
I'm Seo Bom.
I think her water's broken.
Look at her.
How could she be with In Sang?
What should I do?
We should calm her down.
Take her with devotion and care.
I know that I've made a big mistake, but...
You don't know what you did?
How dare you try to intervene?
