(Episode 5)
This is the right house.
Are you looking for someone?
Doesn't Mr Cha Min Woo live here?
Yes, but why do you need to see him?
I have to return something to him. Is he home now?
No, he's not.
Oh, isn't that Min Woo's identification card?
Yes.
He helped me the other day. He dropped this when he...
He helped you?
You mean, Min Woo helped you?
With what? Where?
It's...
I should start with your hand.
In order to write...
and direct plays, you need your hands.
Shall I go for the right one or the left one?
Forget it. I'll just crush both.
So are you saying that Min Woo took you home that day?
Yes. He kindly helped me.
By the way,
do you know roughly when he'll be home?
He'll be home late today.
- You can give it to me. - Pardon me?
I think I should give it to him directly.
I'm his girlfriend.
I see.
You're his girlfriend.
In order to find out who took Cha Min Woo,
Chairman Nam Tae Joon of Baekdu Group...
sent his guys out on a hunt.
What should we do now?
I thought that guy was just a poor playwright.
Both Chairman Nam and Chairman Lee are looking for him?
This is getting interesting.
You rat!
Hey.
Hey, move over.
Get up.
Stand up.
Eyes down, you jerk!
This little...
Get up.
You're dirt poor, but it looks like...
someone's got your back.
What? What are you talking about?
You'd better watch out.
Let's go, guys.
You guys heard what Geun Tae said, right?
We must...
keep a watchful eye on that rat.
In Kyung, this girl. She actually kept her word and sent me the money.
I should count the zeroes. 1, 2, 3, 4...
Who sent what?
Is that from In Kyung?
Gosh, you startled me. No, it's not from...
It is from In Kyung!
How much is this? 1, 2, 3...
300 dollars?
In Kyung sent this money?
Stop making so much fuss about it, you silly.
This must mean In Kyung has found a job in Seoul.
That's amazing!
See?
I told you that she'd be more than fine in Seoul.
She got that money ready in such a short time. I'm so impressed.
This 300 dollars won't help us out much.
We need 1,000 dollars.
Gosh. Mr Choi, that crook.
How can he ask for 1,000 dollars for getting punched a few times?
Just tell him to sue us! We can sue him, too.
Stop talking nonsense because you sound so clueless right now.
Just go in and study, okay?
Let me admire In Kyung's nice handwriting for a little longer.
Goodness.
Gosh, Mr Choi will come by and bark at me again in two days.
Where am I going to borrow 700 dollars?
I have to do something.
Goodbye, then.
Min Woo is too nice.
I get that he wanted to help her, but he didn't have to take her home.
What are you doing here?
Oh, Min Woo.
Are you okay?
- Are you injured at all? - I'm fine.
You're obviously not fine. You could've died.
Do you know how much I pestered my dad?
- Your dad? - I went on about it,
so my dad searched everywhere in Seoul for loan sharks...
It sounds like your father is a very influential person.
Tell him that I'm grateful for his help, but Hee Ae...
Yes, Min Woo.
This is something I have to deal with, so I'll take care of it.
You know what I mean, right?
I do, of course.
And it makes me sad.
Min Woo!
Gosh, you startled me.
Ms Ko, what brings you here?
Well, I put some ice cubes in this.
It'll keep you cool while you drive.
You didn't have to do this. I'm okay.
Just take it.
All right. Thank you.
By the way,
I don't see In Kyung.
Where did she go?
Well, it's...
Unbelievable, this Hick.
How dare she slack off!
That's not what happened.
It looked like the repair would take a while, so I told her to step out.
I'm the one who told her to do it.
Mr Heo!
Are you taking her side now?
So he has...
a girlfriend.
Oh, boy. I'm out.
Nine points!
What are you doing?
You'd better get your hands off the money.
With these card games, it's never over until it's really over.
My hand trumps yours!
Gosh, I lost by one point.
This is not fair.
What are you talking about?
This is how these card games work.
Nice!
This must be over 1,000 dollars.
I should've just stopped there.
Why did I play one more round?
I even lost the 300 dollars In Kyung sent.
What should I do now?
My goodness.
Han Soo...
Mr Heo!
Is it done?
The repair is done,
but what should we do?
You must be hot from all the running.
Why are you doing this to me?
You seriously don't know?
How dare you take off like that during your shift?
I was told that the repair would take long, so I stepped out briefly.
Whether it was for a short while or the whole day,
you did take off your uniform and left.
Why are you staring at me like that? Are you still hot?
Do you want another bucket of water?
That's enough, Ms Ko.
I told you that I was the one who told her to step out. Don't do this.
I'm sure you're cooled off by now. Put on your uniform and get to work.
Hey, don't.
Don't say anything.
Yes.
It's okay, In Kyung.
You're okay.
(Bonghwa Boutique)
My gosh.
Look who's here. Ms Park, what brings you here?
What brings me here?
Gosh, that sounds ridiculous.
Do you think you own the entire downtown area or what?
I'm just on my way home.
Is that right?
I thought you came to pay me back.
I still have one more day.
Stop harassing me already.
- Move over! - Stop!
Do you want to see your dear son get locked up in jail?
Hand In Kyung over to me.
If you tell me where she is,
I'll forget what Han Soo did to me.
Why would you go through so much trouble for your stepdaughter?
What a gorgeous day.
Tell Mr Kim at the gambling den...
that I want to take him out for drinks.
You should just take it easy today.
I'm sure you need time to recover.
It's okay. I'm fine.
Our first show is just around the corner.
You're so stubborn.
By the way, don't you think you were too mean to Hee Ae earlier?
She was so worried about you.
- Was I? - What?
Goodness.
Be good to her, you heartless boy.
Towards Hee Ae?
Mr Cha Min Woo?
(Baekdu Films, President Nam Jung Ho)
You're the president of Baekdu Films?
Why did you want to speak to me, though?
I'll be straightforward with you.
I'd like to turn your play, "Racing in My Youth",
into a film.
You're wasting your time.
It's written as a play.
You should forget the play and turn it into a film.
I can accept your requests for the contract's terms and conditions.
Please...
review the contract first.
What a strange day.
I was getting threatened because of money all day.
Now, is this a decoy or what?
Pardon me?
What do you mean by that?
I guess people usually sign right away when you present them...
with contracts that have all these zeroes.
Are you unhappy with the terms and conditions?
Or is it me that is getting on your nerves?
I hope we never cross paths again.
I will not sell my play to you.
I'll be home late.
Okay.
You won't even ask me where I'm going at this late hour?
Oh, right. I guess that's what normal married couples do.
I'm sure you're going out to drink...
with someone I don't know.
So you know.
It's like your hobby.
Hobby?
I like that.
You'd better not to turn it into anything serious.
Don't test my limits.
I'll think about it.
Gosh, how sweet.
People will assume that you guys are dating.
What are you talking about? That's not true!
What's her problem? She didn't have to yell at me like that.
Goodness.
The radio drama,
"When a Woman Is the Most Beautiful", will follow.
If you tell me where she is,
I'll forget what Han Soo did to me.
Why would you go through so much trouble for your stepdaughter?
(Kang In Kyung, 124-1 Sillim 2-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul)
Look at you studying away. So are you really going to take...
the qualification exam for university entrance?
Yes.
I'll take the exam, get into collage and find a job.
What will you do with the money you earn?
Will you get married?
No.
I want to make sure that my mum and Han Soo...
can live comfortably at a nice house.
That's your goal?
Goodness, how trivial.
Don't say that. What's wrong with wanting to take care of her family?
Oh, right. In Kyung.
Have you heard of night schools?
Night schools?
No. What is it?
I heard that it's for people like you who study alone.
They offer free classes at night.
It's free?
Seriously?
Oh, my.
Studying isn't exactly fun. Why would you want to study at night?
I'm just going to listen to this.
You just watch.
No matter what people say, I'll make it happen.
I have...
a dream, too.
Oh, gosh.
This headache is killing me.
I told you to try to wake up early.
Is it that difficult to do?
I didn't have a good sleep.
I think your housekeeper threw out my sleep mask again.
I couldn't find it, so I slept without it.
You can't even keep track of your belongings...
and complain about losing stuff all the time.
I know, right?
It must be because I only stay over occasionally.
I should move all of my stuff here, don't you think?
I'll be home late today because of a meeting.
Don't wait for me.
Is he running away or what?
Good morning!
This is nice.
I'm happy to be having breakfast with my family.
I'd like French toast with coffee, please.
Sure, Ms Yoon.
I didn't know you came over.
Sorry.
I couldn't say hi to you girls because I got here late last night.
Your father summoned me urgently.
Look at you.
Hee Ae, you keep getting prettier.
You should be dating. Do it before you get older.
I'm still in school.
I have a class, so I'll get going now.
Goodness. I get that you're in school, but you're still a woman.
Time will fly by before you know it!
I've seen many women who live irresponsibly for that reason...
and end up ruining their lives.
Look who's talking.
That's precisely what I've been wanting to tell you.
Are you still going out and distracting yourself because...
you haven't been able to win Jung Ho's heart?
It's not that I can't win his heart.
I'm sure I told you that we've decided to keep things this way.
You must be getting old.
I see that you're becoming forgetful.
Listen.
Do you still think I'm a big joke?
Or are you scared...
that I might end up becoming your mother-in-law?
Me? Scared?
Don't you worry.
You'll never become my mother-in-law.
You know me. I cannot be forced into doing what I don't like.
Lee Seo Yeon.
I won't let it happen.
(Identification card, Name: Cha Min Woo)
I'm his girlfriend.
I see.
You're his girlfriend.
Hee Ae.
I have something to tell you.
Go ahead. What is it about?
I want to be in the crew for your play.
I'll take care of the costumes. I mean, that's what I'm studying.
You're okay with it, right?
Sure.
Is that what you wanted to tell me?
Well, I actually forgot to give you something yesterday.
Here. It's your identification card.
Oh, this...
I came by to give it to you since not having it would be inconvenient.
Why do you have this?
Someone dropped it off when I was...
waiting for you at your place yesterday.
Really?
Was it a woman by any chance?
What?
No, it was a man.
A guy dropped it off.
Is that right?
Then I guess I lost it elsewhere, not in Nangok-dong.
What did you say?
Nothing.
I look forward to working with you.
What? Oh, of course. Don't worry.
(Nabi Production)
What?
An accident?
Yes. The driver who caused the accident got in touch with us.
He said he was calling from a film production company. What was it?
It was Heo Chil Bong's bus?
Yes, but...
The driver drove into the back of our bus.
They admitted that they're at more fault.
So...
you're saying that In Kyung's bus got into an accident, right?
Yes, that's correct.
I heard that she was rude to the driver and caused a scene there.
She completely disgraced the company.
She did?
How's she doing overall?
Don't even get me started.
She isn't even good at her job, yet she talks back to me all the time.
What's more? I caught her slacking off yesterday.
What?
We need to teach that girl a lesson.
Ms Ko.
- I'm tired. - What shall we eat?
- See you later. - What about that place?
Shall we?
Let's go.
- Go in. - Okay.
Goodness gracious.
What did you just say?
If you give me a little more time...
Gosh, this woman.
I thought you'd be smarter than this.
Forget it.
Hey.
Get him.
What? Get whom? No!
Han Soo.
It's time to get locked up in jail.
Please, Mr Choi.
- Move over! - My gosh!
You scum. Have you lost your mind?
- Hey. - Yes!
I'm going to get jailed!
I'll kill you and get locked up!
- You little... - Don't do that, Han Soo!
You really shouldn't do this.
If you do this, you'll be in big trouble.
Let go of me, Mum!
I shall teach these scums a serious lesson. Come here, you...
Then punch me first!
- What? - Hit me first.
I cannot watch you get in trouble again for the life of me,
so punch me first.
- Darn it! - Gosh, that rat...
That's enough for today. You should leave now.
What are you doing now?
(Kang In Kyung, 125-2 Sillim 2-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul)
- What's going on? - I don't know.
Why did they want us to gather here out of the blue?
I'm not sure.
I have no idea, either.
- What's this about? - Did you do something?
Be quiet, everyone!
It seems like...
you girls have lost your discipline these days.
I heard one of you didn't tell us about an accident.
The numbers for the bus fare don't match up, either.
Ms Ko.
You must conduct the physical inspection properly!
That is why...
I'll be conducting the inspection myself today.
Everyone, turn around.
Who wants to go first?
Geum Soon, come forward.
I know where you girls hide money you steal from bus fare.
Where shall I start?
Goodness.
What are you doing right now, Sir?
Have you lost your mind?
What am I doing?
Do you want to know?
Fine. I shall teach you, then.
Why are you doing this, Sir?
I won't let it slide if you come any closer.
What will you do, then?
Are you going to pay back the salary advance you got...
and quit your job?
All right. I hope you realise...
that it'll put Geum Soon in a very difficult situation.
How dare you!
Hello? Yes. Hold on, please. It's a call from Saechang Group.
What?
Yes, Byun Geun Tae speaking.
Chairman Lee?
Okay. Thank you.
You, wench.
It's your lucky day.
Geum Soon.
That must've been so scary for you.
I'm okay.
I'm sure you were awfully surprised by it.
Yes.
I was.
It didn't scare me at all, though.
- Really? - Of course.
Why should I be scared when I didn't even do anything wrong?
Mr Byun.
He's such a horrible person.
Let's stay strong, Geum Soon.
Don't forget who we are. We're two strong girls from Bonghwa.
Okay.
You pathetic idiot!
My goodness.
Hey, what do you think we can do with those ugly girls?
We'll have to forget about eating up Baekdu Films...
because we'll be laughed at!
I'm sorry. I'll do another search.
Hey, wait!
Give me that. Pass me that photo.
Who is she?
Oh, her.
She's not an aspiring actress.
She works as a bus attendant at our company.
I'm observing her now as I want to groom her into an actress.
This is why you can never succeed.
Look. Why would you waste your time like that for this face?
At a glance, I can already tell that she's in a different league.
Do you get it?
Hey, bring her here.
I want to meet her in person.
- Sure, Sir. - Oh, right.
That playwright, Cha Min Woo.
You're keeping an eye on him, right?
Of course, Sir.
My guys are monitoring his every move.
- Goodness. - Hey.
- When will she be here? - I'm not sure.
- There she is. - Hi!
- Congratulations! - Hey.
Come and sit here.
- Come on. Have a seat. - Attention, everyone!
"Racing in My Youth".
Do you know why I want to stage this play?
You guys are the reason.
I'll correct that. It's because of us.
Okay! To the success...
- of "Racing in My Youth"! - To our success!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Hey.
What?
Over there.
Goodness.
What are you doing now?
I won't interrupt anything. Let's talk after you're done.
What?
Who came to talk to Cha Min Woo?
This keeps getting more interesting.
Anyway,
he wants me to bring this girl.
She got all feisty and lashed out at me.
She has quite a temper.
How am I going to drag this girl to him?
Oh, my. In Seoul, even the night air is so fresh.
Don't you think so?
You're absolutely right, Sir.
I see lights sparkling everywhere.
My gosh. The air even smells nice. What an amazing place!
You're right.
All right. Shall we go and get In Kyung now?
Try to see if you can hail a taxi.
Taxi?
You mean Seoul taxi?
I will, Sir!
Taxi!
Don't worry about me and just go to bed.
How can you focus on studying after going through something like that?
I heard that Helen Keller said this.
"Some argue that this world is filled with pain,"
"but it's also filled with power that lets us overcome pain."
So are you trying to overcome your pain through studying?
That's right.
I went through so much to get here, so I can't let that distract me.
I know...
that I'll forget about it after solving a couple of questions here.
You sound so mature.
Did you think I was still a kid or what?
I did, but not any more.
Don't push yourself too hard, though. I don't want you to get ill.
- Got it? - Okay.
Don't worry, Geum Soon. Sweet dreams.
Good night!
In Kyung.
How have you been?
How dare you stab me in the back like this?
Min Woo.
I don't have time to teach a night class. My answer is no!
Is this the night school you were talking about?
Yes. Do you want to stop by and check it out?
- The accident? - It's Baekdu Films.
It's a big company, so there shouldn't be a problem.
- Tell them that we can't settle. - Sorry?
You can't? What are you talking about?
You can't be this irresponsible!
I'll destroy everything.
No!
