(EPISODE 10)
Na Ri.
Your father passed away a long time ago.
What do you mean?
I'm telling her something...
that you're keeping from her! What?
You told me you saw him last spring.
If he passed away long ago, how did you see him then?
I never saw anyone!
I remember, too.
You told Mom and me that you saw him.
You said he was still gambling.
No, that was...
Well... I may have been mistaken...
I checked his death certificate.
Who showed you Dad's death certificate?
- Let's talk. - No.
This is about my dad.
Uncle and I need to talk.
Na Ri, you haven't seen your dad in over 20 years,
so don't be sad...
I'm not sad.
But how could you suddenly appear...
and say he's dead?
I'm sorry. Pretend I didn't say anything.
Uncle!
How could I pretend you didn't say anything?
Why are you yelling?
I lived with you for 20 years.
Am I worse than your father...
who died and left your mom and you behind?
You got it, right?
Once it goes to court, you're done for.
Na Ri, don't worry about a thing.
- What is that? - I want to sue him.
Did you get it?
You know the date, right? Don't think about running.
I have no intentions of running.
Don't let Da Da Finance manipulate you.
It's Mother's land. Now, it's Na Ri's land.
What's so important about that land?
The living must live on.
How could you say that?
Are you threatening me?
How dare you?
Na Ri, listen to me.
Don't hang out with this jerk.
His darkness will rub off on you.
Don't even talk to this jerk. Don't degrade yourself.
I'm trying to save you.
Take my side in court no matter what, okay?
I have a lot to prepare for trial. Trust me.
I need to go prepare for the trial.
Uncle.
Uncle!
Na Ri. My lawyer will call you.
Okay? Read this over.
And you have to take my side, okay?
(WRITTEN COMPLAINT)
Did you do as you were told?
Sure.
You didn't forget anything, did you?
No.
Let's go.
Are you still hiding something from me?
Why aren't you answering?
Da Da is making Uncle get the marriage annulled.
Ever since then, they claim that your father died.
He says he saw the death certificate.
Da Da can easily forge a document like that.
I'll find out myself. I'll look for him.
No.
My uncle told me last year that he saw Dad.
Whatever he said, don't take it to heart.
What one's family says is usually true.
- I... - Have to go kneading?
What?
Why aren't you yelling? This is no fun.
I decided to ignore you.
I'll just act like you don't exist.
Duk Shim, do you know how to fight?
- What are you saying? - What did you do to rip...
Did she say it was me?
I'm telling you, she was a bully in school for sure.
She threw me on a wall and twisted my arm.
Those were techniques of a school bully.
A school bully? How do you know that?
Did something happen at school?
- Do you really like Na Ri and not her? - Come on.
- Don't change the subject. - She looks like her.
Your first love that backstabbed you.
She's a definite no.
Don't worry, I'm not looking out for you.
She's annoying, but I'm on Na Ri's side.
Good luck.
Pack up.
Look at you.
(WRITTEN COMPLAINT)
Why didn't you tell me about the suit?
I was thinking about how I should tell you.
Why do you have to think about it?
I have to win at court.
In order to do that, your testimony is important.
It was hard for me to ask you to be my witness.
I have no plans to be your witness.
Did you forget? We're dating right now.
You made me come back and you confessed to me.
He will nullify the marriage. Consider it as a chance.
You asked what this place means to me. I'll remind you.
It's more important to me than you are.
That's why I can't give this place up.
Are you saying you'll forever be my stepdad?
I don't want to. I won't do it.
We might break up one day. Our love might die.
However, I can't stay like this with you anymore.
I won't stand as witness.
- Na Ri... - Don't say my name. Don't say anything.
I don't even know why I'm fighting.
I don't understand and it doesn't make sense.
Stop it.
I don't want to yell or hurt you.
We should both think about it.
- Good morning! - My goodness.
You're so early... Welcome.
Boss. Boss, Boss.
Come here. Come here. Hurry up.
Come on.
We make sure not to give any time to forget us.
We never hesitate.
We always go forward until we achieve our goal.
Is this why I became a writer?
It's true. I'm so happy.
I should fire you.
Sure, sure. Visit us every day.
I'm cheering for you.
It's warm. Warm.
We got drip coffee just for you.
I don't think this cafe has...
I see, you got it yourself.
I wish all the restaurants in Korea...
had a manager like you.
Were you looking for me?
Why did my grandfather give the land to a 15-year-old?
I want you to find out what dirty secret we have.
How can I find out what happened in 1975?
Gosh, how did you know it was 1975?
I have a near-photographic memory...
Shin Jung Im was 15 then. You must know well...
since she was a good friend of yours.
If you can't find anything,
try going back into your memories.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
It's not open yet, so I told them I'm here to see you.
- Enjoy the exhibition. - Kwon Duk Bong.
Do you want to make a deal with me?
Like this?
Excuse me.
How will you be shooting the show?
Just work as you normally would.
Our camera will sweep through the restaurant,
and you can reveal a couple of recipes.
Then the guests will tell stories and eat the food.
They'll then give scores, and that's it.
The show will be 15 minutes.
The shoot won't be complicated at all.
He won't be in it anyway.
Just make the dumplings.
My goodness.
You guys are so cool.
Chefs...
that are as cold as ice.
I guess you don't like jokes.
I have a condition.
We want to look for the original owner of this place.
The more stories, the better.
Does this mean the original owner disappeared?
How do you want to tell the story?
Call me after you book the date.
- Boss. - No, Boss.
Call the camera team.
Forget the octopus. Call all the guests to come here.
- Yes. - Amazing.
Is he going to do it? Did he really agree?
Yes, Director. We're shooting Hong Dumplings today.
Hello. The menu changed today.
It doesn't look good for idols to eat live octopus.
- Can I write over the live octopus script? - Okay.
We're doing it today?
- Yes! - Of course.
A cold-hearted owner like him...
tend to change their minds.
That's true. Let's go get ready.
Where else do we have to call?
Boss, they're shooting today. Did you know?
I said, did you know?
He's ignoring me again.
What are you doing?
None of your business.
Keep on chatting and laughing with those writers.
Why are you digging?
I told you, I'm studying farming.
Are you sure?
What will you use frozen soil for?
They say I have to overturn frozen soil...
and mix fertilizer in it.
I'll turn this place into rich soil.
This is my property. Why didn't you discuss with me?
As if you ever asked me anything.
You always hide things and decide on your own.
What did you say?
Didn't you hear me? You have bad ears.
I thought about it overnight,
and I'm on my uncle's side.
The marriage should be nullified.
You won't be able to win.
I've had enough of hopeless love.
Do it when there's sunlight and the ground is soft.
If you shovel like that, you're hurting the ground.
Make sure to wear gloves next time.
A weakling like you can wear gloves.
I said, let's make a deal.
What can we make a deal on?
I'll help you get together with Na Ri.
I heard Ko Nan Gil is her stepfather.
- And? - That's why...
those two can't be together.
Her uncle came last night..
and it was a mess.
This is your chance.
I'll help you.
Both you and I aren't the type to help others.
This will benefit both of us.
Well...
I'm saying this as a friend.
No matter how hard I work,
my family's situation can't be turned around.
That's why...
I need to get married well.
You're too honest.
I'll help you get together with Na Ri,
and you can help me meet your friends.
We can also give advice to each other.
It'd be nice.
Are you asking me to set you up with a friend?
That's what friends are for, right?
I'm going to do the show.
They want to shoot today.
Seulgi-ri will be bursting with laughter.
I guess you'll see them often after this.
I'm doing it to find your father.
That's what I mean.
If you're looking for him, you can't be my stepdad.
I'll be on my uncle's side at court.
You won't be able to win. Then we'll be strangers.
We'll date, then get married,
and have a baby.
Don't be embarrassed, Ms. Hong. I mean Mrs. Ko.
You look good with a shovel.
Boss, Boss. The writer wants to talk to you.
There will be celebrities here. I'm so nervous.
I'm itchy from my armpits to my feet.
Let's go.
He must be so excited.
There's somewhere we have to go.
Let go of my hand...
or walk slower.
- Why are we here? - I have to talk to you.
Do you still have more to tell me?
It's an old story that's painful.
Your mother wanted to keep it a secret.
(REMINDER AND NOTICE OF SEIZURE)
Is this...
serious?
No.
I can't let this property go.
Tell me what happened.
My parents used to run an orphanage.
It was a small one near a lake.
One night,
a fire broke out at the orphanage.
My parents,
Jung Nam and I lived here.
Soon Rye had fallen asleep...
while playing in my room.
Everyone else...
My parents said that we were family,
but they didn't take responsibility for anything.
They left poor Soon Rye behind...
and took Jung Nam and I to the States.
They said people wouldn't know.
That everyone will forget.
But I can't forget, and neither can Soon Rye.
I have to pay back for what my parents did.
I have to protect this property.
If you think of death lightly,
that's when your life crumbles.
When this forest becomes more full,
I'm going to donate it.
I want the people walking on this trail...
to remember the kids...
that had to go before their time.
I'll protect it for you...
until the time comes.
Is that why she always came here?
It must have been tough for Mom and Soon Rye.
I understand now.
I understand, but I'm still upset.
Mom only told me that she grew up at an orphanage.
I had grandparents too.
Your mother wanted to atone...
for what her parents had done.
She should have told me.
I should have known.
She only told me because of the property.
She asked me to keep it a secret.
Then why are you telling me?
You already know why.
Is that why...
you want to protect this place? For Mom?
It's very like you.
I can see why she trusted you so much.
First, Na Ri has to see...
the two of us together.
I thought you had an original plan but I guess not.
This is a test.
We have to see...
how much she is interested in you.
What is all this?
This way.
- We can do it in the next scene. - Excuse me.
- Where's Mr. Ko? - The boss?
Where's the food?
Why is everything disappearing? Must I cook myself?
You two, find him before the director comes.
- Okay. - Where did he go?
- Well... I don't know. - What? Please find him.
- Okay. I'll find him. - Okay.
Boss! Boss! Boss. There you are.
They said to come in. Right now.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
They must be doing a show.
Na Ri, where did you go?
See? Did you see that look?
It's game over.
Good luck.
Na Ri. I'm going to Seoul. When are you going?
Gaze, distance, contact. Remember those three things.
You need to be cautious with someone prickly like her.
First, start by looking into her eyes.
The distance that provides a sense of security...
is about three steps.
Make her nervous with each step you take.
It'll feel like you're touching her with your eyes.
That's when you casually touch her.
Anywhere.
He won't be mine. Snap out of it.
Let's not waste time again.
That's when you casually touch her. Anywhere.
You have something...
My uncle is filing to annul the marriage.
Your uncle has the right to.
You wanted to file. What kind of a response is that?
What did Mr. Ko say?
You know his temper. He says he'll win in court.
Why did you quit? Are you really going to farm here?
What should I do?
I don't know why I'm telling you. Don't mind me.
Taking it out on the land won't help.
I'll tell you what to do, so let's go to Seoul.
Sit up front.
Me? Are you going too?
I'll sit in the back, so sit up front.
Give me a minute.
Do you have any special skills like this?
- No, I don't... - Okay. There's no need.
Then...
Okay.
We can zoom in on the veins in his hands as he kneads.
- Stop it. - I like it.
Should we close up on his arm, too?
Zoom in and...
- pan his biceps... - Yes.
I'm going to go change.
Put on something summery.
Something that shows off your veins.
Something hot.
Stop it.
Why are you returning this?
I feel like you won't text or call anymore.
If I need to talk to you, I'll call my mom's phone.
I'm going to Seoul.
You must be stressed already. Sorry for adding to it.
We both need time to think.
Good luck with the show.
I have a question.
What is it?
What happened between you and Na Ri?
I had an affair with her boyfriend of nine years.
Why did you do it?
Well... Why did I?
Yeo Joo's birthday party was so cheap and gaudy.
You're lucky you didn't go.
She is so full of it.
What a fake.
She's doing it to look good to you, to be liked.
Be nice.
Yeo Joo is starved for affection.
Don't badmouth her behind her back and get to work.
- Okay. - Okay.
I know Na Ri took my side,
but it upset me more than those who badmouthed me.
Ever since then, I was very aware of her,
competed with her, and was jealous of her.
It was quite complicated.
That's why you stole her boyfriend of nine years?
To be honest,
I wondered what kind of a man...
she dated for nine years.
Then, well...
I'm just an evil wench.
I don't know if I should be this honest.
Wow. After going through something like that,
shouldn't it be hard for Na Ri to even look at you?
She really is not your average girl.
She is not average in any way.
They are making their dumplings now.
Now, let's call in our special guests.
This girl group loves dumplings so much...
that they eat them every day. Nine By Nine!
Please introduce yourselves.
- Two, three. - And cue.
Hello, we're Nine By Nine.
Nice to meet you.
I heard you almost called yourselves...
"Dumplings".
That's how much you all love dumplings.
Our motto is to live a life full like dumplings.
Everyone loves dumplings.
Do you have a story related to dumplings?
I think maybe it's because...
just like dumplings, we're cute,
full of heart, and loved by everyone.
Okay, Mi Mi. What do you expect from today's show?
I'll express just how tasty Hong Dumplings are.
Good. Let's ask for the dumplings.
- Okay. - Dumplings, dumplings, dumplings,
- please! - Please!
Here they are. Be careful.
- They look so good. - Awesome.
Cut. Don't look at the camera.
- Darn it. - Let's do that again.
Let's go to a rest stop that you like, Na Ri.
Should we grab some udon?
Duk Bong doesn't like rest stops.
Then why did you offer?
Na Ri doesn't like guys who are picky.
Good idea.
Learn to like rest stops.
Yeo Joo. Do you know what seat that is?
- This seat? - It's where you make sure...
the driver doesn't doze off.
Say, "I don't doze off with you in the car."
Now.
- Seriously... - I'll stay quiet.
You can talk all you want.
Okay, Nine By Nine will now taste the dumplings.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It looks so good.
Right?
It's so good.
It's really good.
Are you planning to make this your lunch?
How does it taste?
- It's stuffed with the filling. - Okay.
The skin was clearly kneaded with love.
I feel bad eating it by ourselves.
- Can we get some to go? - Of course.
Na Young, why don't you represent the group...
and show us a facial expression of how it tastes?
I'll try.
One, two, three.
A kiss. Nice.
Okay. Na Young,
please read the special story behind Hong Dumpling.
Hong Dumplings opened in Seulgi-ri...
almost 20 years ago, the same as my age.
We are searching for the founder, Hong Sung Kyu,
who went missing one day.
With testimonies from you and your niece,
we'll win the trial.
But my niece...
has quite a temper so...
Yes, Sir.
Nan Gil's lawyer...
is Greenland's Chairman Kwon's son, Kwon Duk Bong.
Kwon Duk Bong?
He isn't practicing anymore,
so it took a while to find out.
(UNCLE)
Hi, Uncle.
Na Ri.
You'll testify for me, right?
I called to check one last time.
- Where are you? - Where else?
Let me go home after the trial. Please.
Okay. You'll testify?
Then everything will be fine.
What is it?
I saw that the trial date had been set.
Aren't you going to ask for help?
Why would I retain a lawyer who's after my land?
It's obvious I'll lose.
Is that what you believe?
You know only how you feel about Na Ri...
and underestimate my feelings for her.
You should be nervous.
It's my first time...
moving slowly and being cautious just in case...
I ruin things with a girl.
I don't underestimate other people's feelings.
Let's win the trial first.
Let's win...
and remain stepdad and stepdaughter.
I'm going to Seoul tomorrow to ask Na Ri to testify.
Nan Gil.
We checked the hospital you mentioned,
and they have a record of Hong Sung Kyu's death.
Forget it. Don't look in any further.
I'll have to ask for myself.
Aren't you going home?
The three of you are so quiet.
You're so moody.
Are you lonely? Do you feel a void?
Fill it like a dumpling.
I'm sorry. I'll see you.
Your coffee is ready.
Thank you.
Drink up.
Thank you.
Are you still thinking about whether or not to date me?
I never said I'd think about it.
Your memory's fine, and so is your conviction.
I thought it over,
and I thought you may be mistaken about me.
About what?
I just tried to appear confident,
but I could've seemed arrogant.
I just tried to be honest,
but it could've sounded cynical.
I work hard,
but you may think...
I live off of my parents.
I asked you to date me because I really like you,
but I may have seemed impulsive and thoughtless.
I didn't mistake you.
I'm glad.
Then reconsider dating me.
Okay, we can end there.
I am here as Ko Nan Gil's attorney.
He'd like you to testify for him.
Did he really say that?
No, he didn't,
but I think he does.
The side you choose will win.
Your testimony is the most important,
so you choose...
which side you'll take.
What if I take neither side?
Then my client, Ko Nan Gil, is more likely to win.
The land will be protected,
but you will remain father and daughter.
Only family can request death certificates.
But...
this woman got Hong Sung Kyu's death certificate.
We can make a left here.
Left.
Welcome...
Do you need something tailored?
Is there a Kim Jung Sook here?
That's me.
Then...
do you know Hong Sung Kyu?
Why are you asking for someone who died long ago?
May we ask when he passed away?
It's been maybe five years.
Do you have a picture of him?
Who keeps pictures of dead people?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Should I look for my father?
Mom may be hurt if she hears this,
but I didn't hate my father.
I wish Dad would see the show and get jealous.
It wasn't an accident. It wasn't your fault.
(NA RI)
It's me.
I'm glad you have the phone.
Yes.
It may be my final flight tomorrow.
My mom and I promised to take my final flight together.
Take her place.
Okay.
It'll be my final flight and your first.
Actually, I booked the flight already,
so that you can't refuse.
Let's go as far away as possible before the trial.
Okay.
Let's.
Thanks.
(DOMESTIC FLIGHTS)
It'll be my final flight and your first.
A trip? Where to?
I don't know.
He awkwardly said, "I'm taking an overnight trip,"
- and left. - With whom did he go?
Hey, Part-timer, don't try to know too much.
But I like it.
Our boss has never taken any time off.
So we should be understanding...
and accept that he deserves this trip.
Let's work hard even without him here, okay?
Hello.
Passengers sitting in the exit rows...
must assist the flight attendants in emergencies...
to help other passengers exit the aircraft safely.
If instructed by the flight attendant,
please open the emergency door.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Please enjoy your flight.
How was your first flight?
It was scary. How do you ride that every day?
The legendary Ko Nan Gil can't be afraid of flying.
Whatever.
Let's do everything just for us for the next 24 hours.
Wow, it's the ocean.
Look.
I don't know if I should tell you this...
after you set me up on a blind date.
Keep it brief. I'm busy.
Today is Na Ri's final flight.
Hello? Duk Bong?
I'm listening.
She's sharing her final flight...
with Nan Gil.
Probably an overnight trip.
Hello? Hello?
He probably looks like the world ended again.
I guess neither of us were doing well.
But then again, average people...
don't wait for a trial.
I couldn't say it earlier,
but thank you for my first flight.
Don't think about anything.
It's a waste to miss this beautiful sight...
because you're distracted.
They say Eskimos have several words for snow.
For me, I have many words that mean "Hong Na Ri"...
since I was always looking at and thinking of you.
Tell me what means "Hong Na Ri".
Pretending it doesn't hurt to get hit by a slingshot.
Reading while walking.
Chasing after the tofu vendor's bell.
Blowing on a dandelion.
Dancing with butterflies.
You saw me dance with a butterfly?
I saw you talk to a tree, too.
What don't you do when you're young?
You were in college, after drinking in the afternoon.
You watched me when I was in college, too?
You cursed at the tree, too.
"Move! Why are you always standing here?"
- "You little wrench!" - I did no such thing.
Stop it.
I'm going to drop you.
- No. - I'm letting go.
Tripping while looking at the cloud.
Losing your childhood home.
Digging into a frozen land.
The most beautiful thing in the world.
Hong Na Ri.
I'm not used to blind dates, so this is awkward.
You don't look like you'd go on blind dates.
I was too honest.
Something's up. What's going on with you and Duk Bong?
He's dating a fellow stewardess that I'm close to.
See? This is a conspiracy.
Duk Bong doesn't date.
- Why not? - See? Something's up.
You know nothing about him.
And from your figure, voice, and face. Gosh.
There I go again, being too honest. Freak.
Why doesn't Duk Bong date?
Come to think of it, you look like her.
I'm totally getting the chills.
Whom?
Whom do I resemble?
I remember cursing at the tree.
You need to die. You know too much about me.
Only someone who loves a person without hope...
knows properly about that person.
I loved you without hope for a very long time,
so I know you pretty well.
Why did you choose a love like that?
Because I had nothing.
Because that hurt less.
There's nothing I expect or want from you.
I'm happy just as we are.
Not me. I'll testify for my uncle.
I want us to be an average couple that dates,
loves, and plans to get married.
This trip is the beginning.
So we can do anything and everything today.
(DA DA FINANCE)
- Hurry. - Yes, Sir.
I'm Kim Do Suk, Da Da Finance's attorney.
We received more complaints of illegal loans,
so we received a search warrant.
- Get started. - Yes, Sir.
They had proof of an illegal loan from two years ago.
How will you handle it?
I can end it with a fine.
Nan Gil did it as a protest against the trial.
I left him alone,
so he thought I got old.
I don't know why people think you get soft with age.
Nan Gil and Na Ri took a trip together.
Wow. It is really annoying.
You don't know until it happens to you.
Hey. I'll knock from now on,
so you knock too, got it?
Answer me.
Fine.
I think it's your first time in my room.
You must really like Mr. Ko.
Your heart's broken, so you came to see your brother.
How are you fine?
You don't really like Na Ri, do you?
Duk Shim.
You'll learn when you're an adult,
but there are times you think it's the end.
That's when you leave.
You don't call that a trip.
Forget it. What am I saying to a kid?
Get out.
Will we just hold hands while we sleep?
Hold hands? Why? We have two rooms.
If you lie down after eating,
- you'll become a cow. - You'll become a cow.
Mom raised two cows.
More than two.
All the kids in the orphanage considered her their mom.
I want to see my mom smiling like a flower.
Say it. Don't beat around the bush.
I said everything already.
I have something to say.
You'll hear everything about me at the trial.
Should I not go, then?
No. Go and listen to it all.
Also,
I've been to prison.
You look good.
I feel at peace...
since I can go back home once I get out.
Of course, you should come.
You're learning how to make dumplings, right?
I make better dumplings than you. You know that.
Look at you.
I was happy because of Mother,
but she cried often because of me.
I think everything started with me.
That's why I really wanted to protect her land.
I understand what you mean.
You can stop now.
I'm sorry for telling you to come home that day.
I'm sorry for telling you that I love you.
I'm sorry for asking you...
to wait.
Stop it. Don't say anymore.
We walked and looked at the sea together,
but our hearts were too different.
What do you want me to do?
I have faith that you'll make the right decision.
Do you know why I want to find my dad?
He passed away...
the year we got married.
It's been maybe five years.
He will prove that you and I are not related.
I had forgotten him for years.
How could I need my dad because of someone I love?
But that's how I am right now.
I can't be wise.
I'll decide for you.
That land belongs to Mother,
so it is now yours.
Let's not lose it to anyone.
Na Ri.
I love you.
Even if...
I can never say it again,
I will love you.
Your Honor, the two were not in fact a married couple.
Also, the biggest victim of this marriage con,
who refuses to accept the marriage,
is here today.
I'd like to call Hong Na Ri, Shin Jung Im's daughter,
to the stand.
Ms. Hong Na Ri?
Ms. Hong Na Ri.
Did your mother...
ever tell you about Ko Nan Gil?
No.
Did your mother ever tell you that she got married...
and transferred her land and restaurant?
No.
Did you hear about your father's debt?
No.
Do you think...
this marriage is void?
Na Ri.
I love you.
Even if I can never say it again,
I will love you.
If we can't even say we love each other,
let's stop here.
Do you think...
this marriage is void?
