(Episode 18)
I know what kind of girl you are.
No matter how much you're strapped for money...
don't you think it's too much trying to lure a married man?
What are you talking about?
I know exactly what you're after when you keep staying lingering around Jung-ho.
Just because Jung-ho paid back all your debt,
it doesn't give you the right to go over-board.
That...
was because Jung-ho felt sorry for you.
What did you say?
Who paid..
for whose debt?
Wait a second Mr. Nam.
Can I...
can I speak to you?
-What is it? -My debt.
Why did you pay off my debt for me?
What are you expecting in return?
I'm not expecting anything from you.
You were in such a bad situation I couldn't ignore it.
That's why I paid it off for you.
That's such a large sum.
You just paid it off for me?
Why?
You didn't say one word to me.
Why would you do that without telling me?
I just rescued a drowning person...
only to hear them complain I rescued them.
If you're that uncomfortable, I'll ask for my money back.
Then you can keep going to those places to pay back your debt.
Is that what you want?
If this is your way of saying thank you, please go back.
I'll pay you back.
It might be hard immediately...
but once I get the money...
I'll pay you back little by little.
I said it was fine!
I didn't pay for it so I could get paid back by you.
I'll do labor that requires my body.
-Kang In-kyung! -It will be like paying off interest.
Please let me do anything for your company.
I'll do whatever needs to be done.
Unless!
You're going to take responsibility for those
words, please don't use such words lightly!
Your services are not needed...
in our movie productions company.
Then...
Is it okay if I find whatever needs to be done here?
Right?
He paid that large debt off for you?
Yeah.
Since the agreement is gone,
you won't have to worry about Mr. Byun's threats.
But it's still a little strange.
No matter how much money that CEO has...
why would he pay such a large debt for you?
That's what I am saying.
I'll have to pay him back.
I'll definitely pay him back.
Nothing is for free in this world.
What if he expects something from me.
Unless!
You're going to take responsibility for those words,
please don't use such words lightly!
No...
I'm going to take responsibility for my words.
I'm going to save as much as I can and pay him back.
Kang In-kyung...
went to visit Nam Jung-ho again?
Yes. I did as you asked me to...
and followed her.
She went to Baekdu Movie Productions last night.
She did?
So she really went there huh?
Make sure you watch...
Kang In-kyung and Nam Jung-ho very carefully.
Yes Mr. Byun.
If things go well...
we can see both of them fall at the same time.
A play?
The night school teacher was actually a play writer?
Yep.
He writes it and he stars in it.
Isn't he just amazing?
He is very cool.
Is it really different from the opera company that came to Bonghwa?
Yeah...
it was really different.
They said rehearsal wouldn't until late tonight so I wanted to go see them.
If they rehearse until late at night, they might get hungry.
Won't you need to pack some night snacks for them?
Night snacks?
There should be something simple to eat at night time.
You're a great cook, why don't you show them what you can do?
I would like to...
but you know my situation Keum-soon.
It doesn't have to be expensive, it's the thought that counts.
Should I?
Hi Choon-ja.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Oh my goodness, you broke out in a cold sweat.
I took on some night shifts the last couple of days...
I think my body is telling me it can't take it any longer.
Geez...
I wish I could take off early for the day...
but I'm afraid my route will be in trouble.
I'm going to go crazy.
I'll go on your night shift for you.
Go and get yourself home.
No, you need to go see Mr. Cha at the theater.
I'll go on Choon-ja's route for her.
Take her home for me In-kyung.
-I know, but... -Hurry and take her home.
I became the big joke because of my outstanding son-in-law.
Did you really have to go that far at Samchung-dong?
We may not be on friendly terms with one another,
but there are eyes watching over us.
It seems like father-in-law and son-in-law
butt heads for anything and everything.
I did it because there are people watching us.
If rumor spread you were purposely trying to pull down your son-in-law...
it would be a shame.
Is that the reason you paid the bus driver's assistant's debt off?
Why did you do it?
You're just asking for a misunderstanding.
I'm...
asking for a misunderstanding?
One way or another, don't get caught by Suh-yeon.
She might overlook many things...
but she won't stand for you humiliating her.
I'll keep my secret...
from Suh-yeon.
Including your secret.
-What? -The money that could be misunderstood.
If it wasn't for you, I would've never paid it off that debt.
If that kind of gossip were to go around, Suh-yeon would be embarrassed as well.
That's why I paid it.
What is he doing here?
Can't a father-in-law...
come visit his son-in-law at his company?
It seems like father and son need to discuss something...
so I'll see myself out.
We should grab a drink soon Jung-ho.
Have a safe trip.
Rude bastard.
What did Lee Hyung-ok have to say to you?
You just heard him.
To grab drinks soon.
Are you becoming like your father-in-law too?
Never mind then!
If you can't be a good liar, then don't lie at all.
Make sure to keep your guards up.
You know very well Lee Hyung-ok is not the type to be
embarrassed like that at Samchung-dong and let bygones be bygones.
Yes...
I know.
This room is so nice and bright...
even the sunlight comes in nicely.
It's drastically different than Keum-soon's room.
Oh boy...
If you catch a cold already, how are you going to withstand winter?
This is all because the energy flow is all wrong here.
What wrong energy are you talking about?
Tell me your birthday.
Do you know how to tell the future as well?
Stop your gibberish and tell me your birthday.
I'm a ram according to the Chinese zodiac. January 3rd.
I don't know the exact time though.
The result would be more precise with time, but it'll do.
But let's take a look anyways.
The year of the ram and January 3rd...
Yes of the ice, oxen, tiger, rabbit, dragon,
snake, horse, ram, monkey, chicken, dog, pig...
Oh how pitiful!
You...
don't have any luck with your parents.
That's right!
I didn't have an ounce of luck from my parents when I was growing up.
Oh dear...
You never had any intentions of studying.
I didn't have any intentions from the beginning, that's why I still can't read...
Can't read... the fine prints of course.
This is all because your destiny is filled with bad luck.
What kind of bad luck?
Listen carefully.
Since you were born in January, your energy has been cold from the beginning.
People like you need to sleep next to a person born during the summer months...
this will balance your cold energy with the other person's warm energy.
If I do that, then will that bad luck or whatever go away?
Of course, it'll disappear for good!
Let's see, who has a birthday during the summer in this house?
There's me...and there's Han-soo.
What are you going to do? You can't sleep next to Han-soo.
Mrs. Kang please help me out.
Will you sleep next to me from now on? Please?
I can't!
I can't leave my daughter and sleep next to you.
Please Mrs. Kang!
Tonight is the last night the three of us sleep...
in this dingy room!
Why is that girl going into the theater Cha Min-woo is at?
What's going on between them?
This is getting interesting.
Geez, since we don't have our lead actress...
it's no fun rehearsing.
She would've really liked eating this lunchbox with us too.
I know...
Eun-ha is not one to skip rehearsal without notice.
In-kyung!
Are you allowed to surprise me like this? My heart is fluttering.
You must have brought snacks as well.
-Have a seat. -No, I'm fine. Thank you.
Aren't we lucky to have all this food.
If you're going to work off all this food, you guys will have to practice all night.
You brought rice balls?
You put eggs in them?
You didn't tell her?
You can't eat eggs since you're allergic to them.
Is that true?
-Please don't eat them. -What? That was such a long time ago.
It's fine now.
That was a long time ago. Long ago.
You're not lying are you?
Of course I'm not.
Eat up guys. It's really good.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
You ran around the neighborhood a couple of times already.
You're exercising again? Aren't you tired?
It's not exercise unless you get tired.
It's your sweat that builds your body.
-This is good. -Oh wow.
What are you going to do by bodybuilding like that?
How much money does a bus driver make Chil-bong?
Do you make a lot of money?
If you include overtime...
about $80 dollars? Yep about $80 dollars a month.
$80 dollars huh?
Why?
Are you thinking about becoming a driver?
No, I don't think I should become a bus driver.
How can you do anything on that kind of money?
But honestly, you're stuck in that bus all day long.
The pay is kind of inhumane isn't it?
That's not chump change!
You can send money home...
put some in your savings account...
and use it on monthly expenses.
But you're still renting a room in the hood.
I'm going to make lots of money.
That way my sister and my mom can live in luxury.
I'm head of the household.
But you know... to become head of the house...
you can't pick and choose what you'd like to do.
Nope, I'm going to be picky.
I'm going to live like a real man in the lap of luxury.
You wait and see.
Here in scene 36...
did you check? We need to change lighting.
Yes, the lighting. Eun-ha is...
Aren't they great?
Yes...
everyone is...
really great.
Out of everyone, Min-soo is the best right?
Min-woo is the reason why I joined the theater club.
Min-woo saved my life.
Excuse me?
There was a time in my life when I wanted to die from loneliness.
Min-woo was by me a that time.
I see.
He must have given you...
-strength. -Yes.
After that, I'm kind of reluctant to say we're just friends.
We know what each other's thinking with just a glance.
No need for misunderstandings. I'm just saying.
I'm envious.
The time we spend with one another...
is very valuable.
I'm sad...
Min-woo and have not spent...
that much time together.
I guess that's true.
The time you spend with one another...
is very precious.
Thank you for coming today.
When I saw you standing near the doorway today,
I was so happy I thought my heart was going to stop.
Please don't tease me. I'm already embarrassed enough.
About what?
You're embarrassed of me?
Of course not!
It's not like that.
Those...
rice balls.
You mean the world's best-tasting rice balls?
Thank you.
They were really filling.
Now that I think about it, I should show my gratitude.
Wait here.
Why?
We're taking off!
What?
Min-woo!
It's a train.
It really sounds like a train.
There.
We'll take this train...
all the way...
to your hometown Bonghwa.
This really does sound like...
the train I took from Bonghwa train station.
That's right. This is that train's sound.
What?
Are you teasing me again?
It's just too easy.
Isn't it funny?
Your train is about to leave!
Stop it!
I'm not letting go...
so stop trying to squirm.
I...
didn't know plays would be this amazingly fun.
I feel the same way too.
I see it everyday and I still think it's amazing.
What is your dream In-kyung?
My dream?
My dream is...
for my family to live happily.
Make lots of money and send Han-soo to college and get him married.
My mom...
I'd buy her lots of delicious food and nice clothing.
No, not things like that.
Your real dream In-kyung.
My real...
dream?
I just want my family to be...
That's a dream for someone else and not for you.
What do you want?
Or what you want to be?
Or what you want to have?
I don't think...
I've ever thought of that before.
At least think...
of one dream for yourself.
I'd like for you to do that.
I don't know how many times we've gone around.
You need to go before you get caught during curfew again.
We still have more time.
If I leave right now, we won't see each other until tomorrow.
Min-woo...
We're already here again.
I'm reluctant...
but I'll let you go in.
Have a safe trip back...
Min-woo.
I don't want to let you go.
-What if someone sees? -Who care if they see?
Good night.
I'll see you at the theater tomorrow.
Get home safely.
Looky here... Cha Min-woo.
Kang In-kyung...
Why these two.
You're finally home.
Uh-oh!
Why is your face so red?
I think you might have caught my cold.
No, it's not like that.
Or did you have some drinks?
My sister is not like you.
My sister can't even smell alcohol.
Why are you so late?
I was so worried, I went down to wait for you.
What?
I had an errand.
What errand?
Nothing important.
You knew if you ate those eggs, you'd get hives.
Are you okay?
Snap out of it already!
Yoon-suk do you know?
The feeling where no matter where I look, it feels like she's there with me.
Have you ever felt anything like that before?
How am I going to wait until tomorrow?
I already miss her.
Do you like her that much?
Of course. I like her so much, it's driving me crazy.
Yoon-suk what am I going to do? Huh?
Yoon-suk!
Hey! No matter how much you like her, control yourself.
It's embarrassing in front of everyone, especially Hee-ae.
Hee-ae?
What about her?
Min-woo! Hee-ae really...
I always knew you weren't quick-witted, but
it almost feels like you're a jerk.
What?
What is your dream In-kyung?
Your real dream.
My real dream?
My real dream...
that I want.
What's all this gibberish about dreams this morning?
Are you still sleeping?
Hurry and go to your route!
Oh yes. I'm going right now.
Stop loitering around her and hurry out to your routes!
What did you say?
I really don't think Nam Jung-ho is our guy.
If he isn't, why did he pay her debt?
Hey! Would you ever pay for some girl's debt you aren't involved with?
No, not in a million years.
You idiot.
But do you remember Cha Min-woo who borrowed money from us awhile back?
Kang In-kyung made a lunchbox full of snack and took it to his theater.
-What? -The two are holding hands, hugging and falling all over one another.
Have a safe trip...
Min-woo.
I don't want to let you go.
Oh my... someone might see.
What took you so long to tell me?
But... I'm telling you now.
It's not Nam Jung-ho, but Cha Min-woo?
This...
is something president Lee will get a kick out this when he finds out.
I don't want to let you go.
Let's go Chul-hee.
You know this type of dance too?
Yes, I learned it today.
-I think you're much prettier. -Huh?
What?
I think you're much prettier when you have your hair down like this.
You two again huh?
Let's go.
I...
truly don't like you.
No matter how much I try to get on your good side.
You don't ever give me a chance.
Aren't we the greedy one.
You were trying to get on my good side too?
Because it wasn't enough that you got on my father-in-law and my dad's good side?
But not anymore.
The more I thought about it,
the more I realized your opinion doesn't mean crap.
You don't even know what love is.
You're a pitiful woman who gets ignored by her own husband.
What did you just say?
Try to enjoy it as much as possible...
or at least until lasts.
(Baekdu Movie Theater)
I already told you minors are not allowed.
Oh no fellas!
How could you ever think I was a minor?
I could be in the army if you just took a closer look.
A closer look and you're a student.
High school student!
Now get out of here!
The truth is...
The truth is I am head of my household...
and I have to earn money.
My poor sister has to work day and night.
How can I just sit around and do nothing when she's working so hard?
Please I'm begging you!
I want to make a honest living like you guys here.
Please! I am a hard worker!
Please, I'm begging you like this!
What's going on here?
Mr. Nam!
Please help me Mr. Nam!
Oh dear! I already told you your clothes will get ruined.
It's fine. Is there more trash inside?
No it's fine. Please.
Why is she here?
She really came.
Miss!
Why are you here again?
To pay back my debt.
I'm not asking you to discount my debt.
Let's say I'm paying back interest...
by doing whatever I can here.
Please give me permission.
-Are you sending it to Baekdu Theaters? -Yes.
-They'll have to put it up tomorrow, so hurry.
-Yes. -I'll take it to them.
Look here miss!
Mr. Kim, please.
You said Baekdu Theaters right?
-Mr. Nam. -Just let her be.
She says she'll feel better if she can work it off.
Really?
If he was going to give me a job, why didn't he let me stand
in front of the theater like those cool-looking fellas there?
But what is this?
This does not look cool.
Two tickets please.
Yes. $.20 cents please.
Chil-bong!
Keum-soon!
You are a rascal aren't you Chil-bong?
How can you hide this from me too?
I'm sorry.
I had my circumstances.
The same goes for you Keum-soon.
How can you go behind my back and go on dates like this?
I'm so disappointed in you.
It's not a date!
No, it's not. This is the first time we're watching a movie together.
But...
weren't you supposed to go to school tonight?
School?
It was the school's birthday... No. That's not it.
It's the school's anniversary so I decided to take a part-time job for today.
So please keep it a secret from my mom.
And I'll make sure I don't say a word about seeing you two here.
Okay?
Sounds good. Nothing good will come out of us seeing one another here.
That's true...but.
Thank you Chil-bong.
-Chil-bong... -Huh?
From now on, I'll advise you on all your relationship problems.
But you're a student!
You'll help me with all my relationship questions?
Of course I will. What's my name? Han-soo.
So I'll tell you everything I know about relationships!
And I mean everything, alright?
Alright Keum-soon!
Have a good time watching the movie with Chil-bong!
Alright Han-soo.
Let's go in.
Hurry in guys.
Don't do anything I wouldn't!
They look really good together.
I hope my sister meets a nice guy too.
Excuse me.
Baekdu Movie Productions sent over posters for the new movie.
Are you a new employee?
No, I'm just an errand-runner.
Then...
Oh, can you tell me what time it is?
It's almost 9 o'clock.
Is it?
Thank you very much!
I kept Min-woo waiting too long.
How did it go? Did you meet Eun-ha?
I hope nothings wrong with her.
Our play's opening night right around the corner and we don't have our lead actress.
Does Min-woo know about this?
If we skip this part, the emotions don't match up.
What should I do?
In-kyung?
Hey Hee-ae.
-You're still here? -Yep.
I was worried.
What will you do if we can't get in touch with Eun-ha?
Should I get ready for the lead role just in case?
Who? You?
Thank you for worrying about the play,
but I can manager. Don't worry about it.
Why wouldn't I worry about it?
It's none other than your first project that will be produced in the theater.
Why wouldn't I worry about it?
Hee-ae.
What am I to you Min-woo?
You're a friend I adore.
Am I...
just a friend?
Have I ever...
for just one moment...
been a girl to you?
Hey...
what's up with you all of the sudden?
I joined the Theater Club because of you!
I came to the club so I could get a glimpse of you.
Because of you!
Because I wanted to be next to you.
I'm always waiting for you right here...
how come you won't even give me a chance?
Do you know how much I like you?
Why...
why can't it be me?
I'm sorry.
I didn't know you felt that way.
I'm just...
In-kyung!
-Do Min-woo and I make a good couple? -Why?
I'm just wondering if I'm the right girl for him.
-A phone call? Who is it? -He said he was a friend from school.
This play-writing bastard!
He took Kang In-kyung away from me?
-Cha Min-woo's play hasn't had its rating approved yet. -Yes.
Block it.
We need a stand-in when we rehearse. Please be sure to make it.
