I told you never to call.
Why did you come here?
I told you never to step foot here again.
It's my final warning.
If you do this again,
I can't say...
what will happen to you.
You know I always keep my word.
You decided to accept him as your stepdad?
Na Ri, Nan Gil is a bad man.
Sure, let's say he married your mother for love.
Then he should leave now.
Will that young man live alone, missing your mom?
In that house? No, he won't.
Get your house back. I'll help you.
Let's give him money to leave.
He'll leave when he feels like it.
You are so frustrating.
He looks like a total con artist in my eyes.
Why do you trust him?
You and your mom must have the same taste in men.
Sorry. My bad.
I was out of line.
Not everyone on the plane is happily going on vacation.
Some are forced to go away on business.
Some are sad to leave a loved one.
Some had an unhappy trip. Everyone has a story.
Now, I can read their face expressions...
because you can't hide that.
I trust the photos my mom took with him. Their smiles.
- Their expressions. - You trust their expressions?
Wow. That's the best thing I've heard.
Do you know how easy it is to act like a good person?
Bad people know they're bad, so they must act good.
Act selfless, smile a lot, and act innocent.
It's all an act.
Nan Gil's expression is that of a con artist.
Why do you hate him so much?
Did something happen between you?
He'll show his true colors soon.
Come see me. I studied law.
Let's drop in on him...
and see his real face behind the mask.
It's me.
- What? - I'm coming in.
No! No! Wait!
- No! Wait! - Oh my gosh!
I said no!
Get dressed.
You have unique taste when you're alone. That's weird.
It isn't weird at all. This is how I knead dough.
What is it?
Someone gave me men's lotions, but I don't need them.
Thank...
Thanks. Go now.
Aren't you going to open it? I hope you like it.
- I like it for certain. - What is it?
You said it's lotion.
Gifts are the best!
I like it, so go.
That's not right.
You should open a gift in front of the giver.
Go on.
Are you throwing away my gift?
Well, if you don't like it...
No, no.
Why do you keep saying, "No"?
What is that look?
I like it, so...
It feels... You know.
So... Well...
So what?
It's like a parent getting a gift from his child.
Why do you think Uncle used Seulgi Supermarket's phone?
I would've come here instead.
There's something between you two, right?
Thanks for the gift, but you should go rest.
- I have to knead dough. - "I have to knead dough."
Is that all you say?
You didn't answer.
You said you don't answer when you need to lie.
I'm right. I am. You won't...
Just go.
Let's be proper with one another. Bye!
I have the right to know what happened to Uncle!
No, this is an act.
He left it there on purpose for me to see.
Don't believe anything any more.
You said you'd trust me.
What are you looking for? What do you want to know?
I want to know what you're like.
You do? Then I'll tell you.
I'm Ko Nan Gil.
Ko Nan Gil.
Does that remind you of anything?
- Don't you remember at all? - Ko Nan Gil.
Ko Nan Gil. Ko Nan Gil?
Who is Ko Nan Gil? Who are you?
I am your father.
Ko Nan Gil?
Ko Nan Gil.
Let's see.
Na Ri?
I need to hurry back.
You're right. Your style is humiliating. Hurry back.
You said you studied law.
Do you have a license or anything?
A license?
I passed the bar exam with top scores.
- Then why are you here? - It just wasn't my type.
I didn't like how prosecutors always see bad people.
I didn't like how lawyers deal with whining clients.
Why are you offering to help me?
Did I say I'd help? When?
I'm not the helping type.
I said to create a win-win situation. Come.
Come with me.
No way.
Look. Here's the Hong Dumplings.
It's the only access way.
Did you get how much I want this land?
I guess Uncle Jung Nam has something to do with this.
Your uncle?
Why do you think he's on the run when he has his home?
Money issue or a threat?
Gosh, you have no idea about this.
Think about it. Your uncle's house. Hong Dumplings.
Your house. The land around the lake.
All of them were your mom's before,
but now, they all belong to Nan Gil.
That's impossible.
My mom never told me this before.
Even my dad doesn't tell me about his possessions.
We never hid anything from each other.
Don't feel bad.
Parents don't share their secrets with their kids,
especially when those secrets are shameful.
(Attorney Retainer Agreement)
You know what a dirty fight is like.
This would be like that.
It's not important at all...
how he became your stepdad...
or whether he's good.
All that matters is money.
He may try to kick you out without paying any money.
Then you may hold your ground against him,
asking for compensation.
You may hurt each other only for money...
and he could end up destroying your family.
(Hong Na Ri)
(Hong Dumplings)
Gosh.
What happened?
What's wrong?
What's wrong this time? Can you not see again?
- That's not it. My back... - Your back?
My gosh...
Do you want me to call an ambulance?
No need.
It usually gets better...
after lying down like this for a while.
Hang in there. Hold on.
Here you go.
I think you should go to the hospital.
I take certain medicine for this.
Would you go buy it for me?
Sure. What's the name of the medicine?
Its name is kind of complicated.
Give me a pen and my wallet. I'll jot it down.
What's with your wallet now? Let me go buy it for you.
Here.
(Royal Label, Dimple Whisky, Cli Cosmetics)
Here.
(Cli Royal Dimple)
What?
No problem. I'll be right back.
(Wrong password)
"You sealed my heart like you seal dumpling skins."
"Every day is a dumpling day to me."
"What on earth happened to you when you were born?"
"You and your dumplings are so perfect."
Goodness! He flirts around every girl.
My goodness.
Hi, how are you?
Can you give me... "Cli Royal"...
"Cli Royal Dimple"?
- I've never heard of this. - It's for back pain.
Hello.
Please give me Cli Royal Dimple.
- "Cli Royal Dimple"? - Yes.
- We don't have this kind of medicine. - What?
Okay. Thanks.
(Pharmacy)
Excuse me, Sir?
Do you know what this medicine is?
"Cli Royal Dimple"?
- I've never heard it before. - Sorry?
- Do you know this? - No.
Why don't you call and check it once again?
(Caution! 3 times of failed password attempts)
That's okay.
I don't think I need to. Thanks anyway.
Since when the warehouse was locked?
He has so many secrets.
(Best Employee of the Month)
You're not on my side. Why are you showing it to me?
It looks like he's investigating on you.
You don't want to reveal your past, do you?
Just leave.
Are you worrying about me? What's gotten into you?
Do you really want to live like this?
You're still young. Just leave and live your life.
Don't put yourself into someone else's life.
This is how I live my life.
I'm really doing great...
and I can't even waste a single second.
And this is not about others, but my family.
Why that...
Duk Shim!
You'd better walk.
Get another bike if it's hard to walk.
Hey, I hear you were born rich. Treat me sometimes.
You look pretty.
- Look at you. - Where did you get this?
Duk Shim, where did you get your bag?
- Are you going to buy a bike? - Hey, tell me.
- Hey, can I try your headset on? - Duk Shim!
- I'm sure she can walk home. - Let's go.
- Let's play a computer game. - Shall we eat pizza?
Hey.
Excuse me.
I remember you riding a nice bike before. Where is it?
Hey, you know it's a very high skill...
to go slowly on your bike, right?
Check this out.
Gosh.
I think I saw your bike somewhere.
The used bike store in the town has it.
You didn't sell it, did you?
You're so shy.
I'm a bad... No, I'm not a bad guy.
See?
You look great when smiling.
Once you start losing things from them,
there will be no end...
because those who take don't have a conscience.
Come to me if you want your bike back.
You know Hong Dumplings, right?
Okay. Bye.
Once I start losing things,
there will be no end...
because those who take don't have a conscience.
- Here's your coffee. - Thank you.
- You look good. - Do I?
(Na Ri)
I'll get the coffee. Answer the call.
What if Na Ri is in the ER again?
Just a minute.
Hi, Na Ri.
- Can you talk now? - What?
Yes, I'm good.
If you want your 30,000 dollars back, cooperate.
- Cooperate? - Today is Mom's anniversary.
I'm sorry for not remembering.
You need me.
Don't even try. I know you're still dating Yeo Joo.
I said to cooperate. You can do that much for me.
Come and have some drinks.
- Drinks? - Make him drink until he's about to die.
Make him pass out.
Pass out? Who?
That gold digger? The con artist?
Sure. Okay.
Okay.
Oh my gosh.
Did Na Ri call me a gold digger?
- Did she call me a con artist? - No.
There's someone.
Today is the anniversary of her mom's death,
but she has no one by her side.
I think she needs me.
I don't want to cry. This isn't right.
I think we should end it.
I trusted her when she said it was over.
That's why I put up with her picking on me,
but it wasn't over.
I understand.
I'm sure it isn't easy to end it with you.
I understand...
her, too.
No, there's a money...
Well,
it's about the money.
Na Ri borrowed money from you?
Let's go.
She has no one by her side. You should go.
I'll go with you.
No.
It's not right that you go there.
I'm not that bad. I'll wait in the car.
I'll be fine alone.
I can read a book and listen to music for a few hours.
Yeo Joo.
I'll go alone.
I'm here!
Are you asleep?
Are you still very sick?
I'm coming in!
Are you back?
They have no such drug. Maybe it's only in Seoul.
Should I go to Seoul and get some?
No. I feel better.
I should call an ambulance.
- I said I'm better! - You can't even get up.
I get better if I lie down, but it's taking long today.
I thought you'd be hungry. A proper meal is too much,
but maybe you can eat some dumplings.
Maybe a few.
Then try to have some.
But what about the bathroom?
I don't go to the bathroom immediately after eating.
So you're constipated, too?
Stress, insomnia, malnutrition,
osteoporosis, a herniated disk, and constipation.
What don't you have? That's why you get wrinkles...
Stop it! Stop with the wrinkles!
Wow. Is she really the woman I saw this morning?
Is this why men fantasize about flight attendants?
(Personal Information, Hong Na Ri)
She's the kind who follows the straight and narrow.
My stomach.
Gosh.
I came to see your daughter.
We became very close, thanks to you...
pairing us up to go to Seoul together.
Na Ri hurt her back and can't move.
I don't know how close you are,
but it can't be enough to go to her room.
Then who is that standing there?
It hurt more to lie down.
Duk Bong! Come in.
Come in!
As you can see, I am in pain,
so I don't think I can go out.
Sure. It won't take long.
Then come to my room.
Is that okay?
You're not teenagers or anything.
Why are you asking for permission?
What? Should I bring some milk?
- Did you find anything? - Everything is locked.
Did you think he'd leave it open? It's about timing.
We must report him before he catches on.
That's the fastest way.
Report him for what? He hasn't done anything yet.
Are you sure about that?
He claims to be your stepdad and to own this house.
What could we report him for?
His marriage.
We'll say his marriage to your mom was a con.
Do you know why I came all the way here?
To tell you to be strong.
You must suspect thoroughly.
I plan to investigate your mother's accident as well.
I should at least offer our guest a drink.
He's about to go now.
No. I should drink what he gave me.
What does your father do, son?
- "Son"? - That's right. Son.
Do you have siblings?
Does your family get along?
Do you always dress so grungy?
Look, Nan Gil.
You should know who the elders are.
You must see me as a guy interested in your daughter,
but the thing is...
- As of today, I'll be defending... - Dad!
I want some, too. Don't be so cheap.
What? Dad?
You must have been very thirsty.
"Dad"? How could you call him that?
That's dangerous.
That means you accept him as your father.
So why did you try to expose your client?
Have you ever defended someone?
Even I know a client has a right to privacy.
You should say goodbye to the elder...
when you leave a friend's home.
- Why that... - Wait.
Just a minute. Come on.
Just leave.
How can you tolerate that rude punk?
I'm holding it because I need the land.
Don't forget we're on the same side.
- Let's do this. - Please leave.
We can do it.
You must suspect thoroughly.
I plan to investigate your mother's accident as well.
Where does he keep the key?
What? What are you looking at?
I wasn't looking.
No sesame seeds on food for services.
You're wrong.
- I am not. - Yes, you are.
Grounded sesame seeds are fine.
That's why I grounded up a bunch of sesame seeds...
in order to make it taste good.
- Is that intentional? - What?
Are you playing Dad? "What do your parents do?"
"Does your family get along?" What was that?
Do you want everyone to know?
You're the one who called me "Dad".
It's so annoying. How stressful.
I tried calling Mom's phone,
and it goes through.
But she never answers.
If someone else took that number,
they'd answer at least once.
You have her phone, don't you?
Is there a reason why people can't find out?
What are you hiding?
Why is the warehouse locked?
That's the place of memories with Mom.
This was always our home.
Why are you pushing me away?
Who are you to put a wall between...
my mom and me?
It's her anniversary. Be reverent.
It's her anniversary, so you must have a conscience.
Tell me the truth.
You knew this house, Uncle's house,
and the land around the lake were Mom's, didn't you?
Is that why you approached her? For money?
One thing is for certain. I didn't want to tell you,
but your mom approached me first.
Give me Mom's phone.
You have no right. It's mine.
I have no right?
Then why are you living in the restaurant?
You say this is your house. Is it your conscience?
Why don't you kick me out and use the master bedroom?
I need to knead.
That is your line.
My kneading methods are unique.
I have to flip it all night and set the temperature.
I need to be close to the restaurant work room.
Did you...
not share the bedroom with my mom?
What are you trying to say?
Did we share a bedroom?
What kind of question is that?
What exactly do you want to know?
What our relationship was like?
I told you. Do you not like that this is my house?
Is it because of money? Do you need money?
You're scary when you're angry,
the legendary Ko Nan Gil.
What and how much do you need to do...
to become a legend in that field?
A legend never talks about their legendary story.
I'll live here forever.
I'll make dumplings. I will live here...
until a tree I planted by the lake grows tall.
So that's enough for today.
We'll have plenty of time later.
Go change. I'll set the table.
When I was young,
I hardly had any friends.
I know.
Did Mom tell you that, too?
I heard my friends laughing, saying how...
my dad ran away and our dumplings tasted bad.
After that, I always...
felt like they were mocking me and avoided them.
Ever since then,
Mom was my friend, mom, and dad.
She was my everything.
I'm sure I was the same to her.
So...
I plan to find out what happened to her.
Isn't there anything...
you want to confess before I do?
Confess?
Sure.
The truth is...
the dumplings were terrible before I got here.
Your friends must have been exaggerating,
but they were right.
- How have you been? - Whatever.
Will this be enough?
I brought big bottles.
We would've waited if you had said you were coming.
Come in.
- You should bow first. - There's no need.
Let's forgo the bow.
What? That isn't right.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Have you eaten?
- No. - He ate.
Whatever.
- You should drink. - No way.
- Take her to Seoul before... - That's a formality.
Is it how things are done?
Have a seat.
So...
Na Ri really knows nothing.
I thought bank checks would be easier.
Why are you paying this back?
Because Na Ri would feel awkward.
I don't like how you talk about her.
How old are you?
It's uncomfortable for me, too.
But I don't know how else to address her.
I don't understand why you're paying me.
How much is that house worth?
I'm sorry for calling you a gold digger con artist.
I usually can't say this because I have a weak heart,
but I can't refrain myself with you.
Even if you repay me on her behalf,
that house is still Na Ri's home.
I'm not repaying you because of the house.
Isn't this about the house? Then what?
Is it because of Na Ri and my relationship?
- Why are you sticking your nose... - I'm not...
sticking my nose anywhere.
You handle your own problem.
I thought there shouldn't be a money issue between you.
That's why.
Tell Na Ri that her uncle paid you.
I have to get to the restaurant.
I'll take care it with her uncle, so take this...
I'm curious. Are you sick?
You're still young.
- But that day, you looked weak... - Na Ri!
Isn't that too modest?
A son-in-law is an important guest. I shall go...
Sit down.
You need to drink with someone to see if they're legit.
Goodness.
Do you even know how to drink?
Do you even know what it tastes like?
I'm worried.
Cheers.
- Bottoms up. - Bottoms up.
Hey, you two. You're slow.
(Dong Jin. Dong Jin? Dong Jin!)
I'll call you later.
(Yong Chul)
- Hey. - Hi, Sweetie.
I can't go to the gym today.
I'm on my way to drive someone home.
I think Dong Jin is drunk.
You have no pride.
Pride? Why are you bringing that up?
Do you know what men want?
A woman who is like a friend, a lover, a mom,
a daughter, an angel, and a witch.
Do you think such a woman exists?
She does and that's me.
Fooling guys is a piece of cake.
Pride? Feed it to the dogs.
It's not right for me to go there?
Are you drunk?
No. Drink.
Here.
- Shall we try a lover's shot? - Sure.
- There you go. - Here.
I'm here so often that this feels like my room now.
Born in... Born in 1990?
My gosh, seriously.
What's wrong with this photo?
Ko Nan Gil. That was his real name.
But that's kind of unreliable.
I will live here...
until a tree I planted by the lake grows tall.
That's it.
Na Ri!
- Na Ri! - Na Ri!
Na Ri.
Come here. I'll pour you a drink.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
But you know how I feel, right?
That's right. You're supposed to fight...
about these silly things before getting married.
You're right.
That's right. I like you.
What?
Why did you do it? You jerk!
You don't know anything.
What do you know about it?
How old are you?
Silly things?
Excuse me.
Hey, little girl!
Do you know where Hong Dumplings is?
The address is 35 Seulgi-ri. It's around here, right?
Do I go through that alley?
Thank you.
Silly things?
Mom passed away. It was the toughest days in my life,
but he cheated on me.
Is it a silly affair?
I'm sorry for calling it silly thing. I take it back.
But he was cheating on me with my junior at work.
She's annoying and young.
Was it a silly age difference?
That isn't right.
He said silly lies, too!
There are things a person must not do to others.
Telling someone in mourning to stop crying.
But that man...
got sick of my being sad for losing my mom.
He fake-consoled me, made fake promises,
and betrayed me.
But...
why did he come today?
I thought I saw you two laugh together.
I don't like him,
but what could I do about it?
Why did he come then?
It's really over.
Okay.
I'll take care of him.
Okay? Leave it to me.
Leave it to me. I can take care of it.
Hey.
What are you doing?
I'm going to throw him out anywhere.
He can't even be recycled.
Oh my gosh.
Dong Jin!
Dong Jin?
What's wrong with my boyfriend? Dong Jin!
How dare you come here!
- Na Ri. - What?
Why that...
Did you just call me casually?
How dare you call me by my first name?
Ms. Hong Na Ri.
You are impossibly shameless.
How dare you come here?
He said he was drunk and asked me to come!
Throw that trash away in the car.
He has a driver to take him.
Na Ri. Watch what you say.
I'm holding back right now.
Try raising your voice again.
Throw that trash out!
My gosh.
Be careful. Are you Na Ri's younger brother?
Who are you?
Please be careful.
You seem drunk, too.
Don't drag him like that.
How dare she flirt at him?
Gosh.
Hey, Na Ri's younger brother! Be careful!
I'm not. I'm not.
Na Ri, help!
- You're not what? - I'm not her little brother.
Do it right. What about her little brother?
- You're not... - I'm not her little brother!
Please leave a message...
- after the tone. - She isn't picking up.
She hasn't been skipping school lately.
Her room is like a war zone.
She really needs therapy.
Please tell her I went for therapy.
Na Ri, let's talk.
I thought you were annoying but cool.
You thought I was just annoying. Don't lie.
This isn't why I came.
I thought hard about whether to come or not.
You always do whatever you want.
You shouldn't have come here if you had any respect.
You act like you're good at cutting things...
and keeping your word, so don't call him again.
Don't ask him to come to you. Don't whine.
I'm the victim in this.
I'm hurt and humiliated enough...
You shouldn't have come here today.
You're too stupid and too shameless.
Today is my mom's anniversary.
You care only about yourself, so you don't care.
I'll pay you back with what you fear most.
I'll tell everyone at work what you did...
and I'll tell Dong Jin about your sordid past!
Na Ri, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was today.
You didn't know?
You really didn't know? Answer me.
Should I check? All you do is lie!
I knew. I'm sorry.
I was wrong. I was wrong.
I was wrong.
Please don't tell Dong Jin.
I will tell everyone whenever I feel like it,
so be anxious and live in fear.
My gosh!
Thank you.
I fixed it.
So don't get into an accident.
Don't...
get into an accident.
If you get into an accident,
Na Ri will say it's because of this...
and will blame herself.
Because Na Ri is too nice,
she'll get stressed again!
Drive carefully...
and be a good person.
Bye.
A junior? Really? I don't think so.
This is not my day.
How annoying.
Hey. Na Ri.
It's Na Ri.
Come inside.
Okay.
(Sweet Stranger and Me)
I hope I didn't do anything wrong.
Who locked me up and why?
Hey! Nan Gil!
No.
Those jerks sent Na Ri the documents.
This is Nan Gil.
You won't come and see me unless I drag her in.
Na Ri doesn't remember you at all, does she?
Sell the land right now.
You should take the money and run.
Does Na Ri know?
Stepdad? Why that psycho...
- Of course. - What did she say?
He isn't a con man.
I think I know who he is.
