(Episode 27)
I'm home.
Oh, In Kyung. Come join us for dinner.
Move. Move it.
You little...
Oh my goodness.
Did your mum send these?
She sent a bunch of stuff for all of us to share.
In Kyung, look at this. She also sent pickled oysters,
which you love.
That's awesome.
Hey...
What's wrong?
In Kyung.
Oh, no. I guess she's feeling queasy.
It looks like she's feeling very ill.
This is one of her favourite side dishes.
- In Kyung, are you okay? - Goodness.
Come to your senses, kid.
I get that you love your sister dearly,
but you cannot follow a woman into the bathroom.
She's right, Han Soo. You just stay here. I'll go check on her.
She hasn't been eating properly since yesterday.
I wonder what the problem is.
Are you all right?
Are you still feeling under the weather?
Yes.
I keep feeling weak and unwell these days.
Did you eat something that doesn't agree with you?
It looks like severe indigestion to me.
Or maybe you're not sick.
You don't normally eat over-fermented kimchi,
but I saw you devouring it last night.
And today, the smell of your favourite dish gave you nausea.
I must say, you're acting as if...
you're pregnant...
Gosh, Ms Park. That is complete nonsense.
We're not talking about Choon Ja here.
How can you think that In Kyung would do such a thing?
My goodness. What do I have to do with this?
Geum Soon, you hurt my feelings.
Ms Park. You're out of line, too.
How can you say such a thing to your daughter who is feeling ill?
Well, I was just...
I'm just wondering because she looks so pale now.
Gosh, seriously.
They say that a woman's face can change every second.
There's nothing wrong with her looking a little pale.
All right. Let's drop this and just go to bed.
That way, In Kyung will be able to get some rest, as well.
Let's go! Get up.
Goodness. I'm coming, you wench.
I got it for your birthday.
Gosh.
I'll be sure to treasure this until the day I die.
(October, 1972)
(Haengbok Hospital)
Congratulations. You're going to be a mum.
I'm carrying...
Min Woo's baby?
Min Woo...
and I have a baby now.
Our baby.
(Seungri Transportation)
This could make you feel suffocated, right?
In Kyung, what did the doctor say?
Is it caused by fatigue?
No, the over-fermented kimchi must've caused indigestion.
- Aren't I right? - Sorry?
Oh, well...
The doctor said that I have a cold.
Really? Right, people often catch a bad cold in autumn.
- Did you take medicine? - Yes.
I took it earlier today.
Take your time and get ready.
I'll head out for my shift first.
Don't work too hard, okay?
The medicine must be working.
She looks much better than yesterday.
Yes. She does, right?
- What are you doing now? - Your film,
"Youth". I want to quit.
The writer keeps saying that he's not going to revise the script,
and you keep siding with him. I can't work like this!
Mr Oh.
Please don't get emotional and...
I don't want to hear it.
He's a rookie writer.
I don't know why you're being all protective of him,
but I'll be sure to watch how well he does.
Mr Oh just left,
saying that he doesn't want to work on "Youth" any more.
Let me ask you this for the last time. Will you have no regrets...
about not asking him to stay?
I will have no regrets.
I may be regretting joining hands with you, though.
What do you mean by that?
Didn't you once tell me...
that you think In Kyung, you and I...
are meant to cross paths with each other?
What I'm saying is that I'm not sure if it's a good thing.
Mr Cha.
Is there something...
- you want to tell me? - No.
Nothing.
I have nothing to say to you.
You should get back to work now.
Mr Oh, you never let me down. That's great.
Directors should never be willing to compromise or give in.
I'm very glad to hear that you quit.
I couldn't put up with it any more.
Nam Jung Ho's obstinate way of doing things is ruining Baekdu Films.
I mean, he sides with that rookie playwright on everything.
Before Baekdu Films starts going downhill,
you should reclaim it and bring it back to a well-functioning state.
Calm down first.
I will make that happen in a near future.
In order to make it happen,
the vacancy created due to your resignation...
must not be filled by another director.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Yes, Sir. I understand what you're getting at.
I have the film industry covered.
I'll spread a rumour that the stuck-up is a communist.
I like that. That sounds awesome.
It could be a good thing.
How can he make a good film when he's so narrow-minded?
He probably would've ended up ruining your script anyway.
But still...
I don't feel so great because I feel like I drove him out.
It won't be easy to find a new director on such short notice.
If we can't find any, you should just do it yourself.
- What? - Let's be honest.
No one will do a better job than you since you know it the best.
Plus, your ultimate goal is becoming a director.
Am I wrong?
I just joined Baekdu Films. I can't direct a film right away.
Right, most people can't.
But you're different.
I believe you can do it.
Director?
I told Min Woo...
that I'd wait until he decides what he wants to do.
What should I do now?
Will he be happy to hear the news about you?
No, I shouldn't be negative.
He'll certainly be happy to hear the news.
I'm sorry.
My baby,
I promise you that I'll only show you and tell you...
happy things from now on.
Is your stomach upset?
Pardon me?
- No. - Then what's the problem?
Why are you going back and forth between smiling and grimacing...
while touching your belly like a crazy woman?
Don't you know how ugly you are?
If you keep doing that, you'll scare all the passengers away.
Learn from me.
Look pretty like me...
and smile!
Okay. Smile.
I'll get going now.
Don't forget. Smile!
(Baekdu Films)
You don't want to work on it because of Mr Cha?
That's what Mr Oh is insisting, which is very one-sided.
Mr Hwang.
Mr Hwang!
Goodness.
Everyone thinks that Mr Cha is disrespectful towards directors...
and that he's extremely unyielding to others' opinions.
Chairman Lee also spread a rumour about him being a leftist,
and people are buying it.
Goodness gracious.
It sounds like everyone is praying for "Youth" to fail.
Then I have no choice but to meet every single film director...
and try to persuade them in person.
Min Woo.
I'm hungry. Have dinner with me before you head home. Please?
Sure, let's do that.
Min Woo.
Can we...
talk for a few minutes?
I'm sorry. I have plans.
- Let's go. - Then how about tomorrow?
Can you make some time to speak with me?
Just a second.
We promised not to do this to each other.
Am I wrong?
We did,
but I have to talk to you about something.
It's important.
Then...
let's meet tomorrow.
We can talk then.
Min Woo, wait up.
You're letting him go like that again today?
Hello, Mr Nam.
Yes. I didn't give him a heads-up that I was coming.
It looks like he has plans for this evening. I'll see him tomorrow.
I'll get going.
Just a moment.
You're sweating a lot.
It looks like you're still unwell.
Oh, right. I'm sweating.
I'm fine. I should get going now.
Have a great evening.
Don't get any wrong ideas.
Min Woo was like that because he's upset with me now.
He's normally very sweet to me.
- Be careful. - Honey.
I just felt Sa Rang kicking.
Seriously?
Judging from the strong kick,
I think we'll have a healthy baby.
Sa Rang?
What a pretty name.
You also need a nickname. Don't you think so, my baby?
What would be a good one?
There it is!
It's so strange.
Everything nauseates me and makes me vomit,
but sweet potatoes are totally fine.
Do you...
like sweet potatoes?
Oh, my. Sweet Pea,
look at the moon.
It looks so bright and round today.
Can you see it?
The full moon is floating in the sky.
It reminds me of the day I first met Min Woo.
That night, the moon was afloat looking that perky and bright.
Perky.
Perky?
Perky.
My baby, what do you think of Perky as your nickname?
I want you to take after the perky, luminescent moon in the sky...
and have a bright future ahead. Hence the nickname Perky.
What do you think? Do you like it?
Perky.
Right, I threw it out.
Plus, your ultimate goal is becoming a director. Am I wrong?
Who would believe it if we tell them that is what our landlord eats?
I've never seen such a cheapskate in my entire life.
Why are you criticising my breakfast?
If you're that worried, you can give me some of the seasoned vegetable...
Ms Park.
Gosh, Mr Heo. You're too old to get food all over you like that.
Seriously...
Look at you. It looks like you're fully recovered now.
You're devouring the food.
What? Oh, right.
My doctor told me that I should eat well,
so I'm trying to force myself to eat.
The doctor is right. You have to eat well to stay healthy.
Eat up, In Kyung.
Goodness.
Choon Ja. You're eating that much again today?
Why do you get so surprised every time you see how much I eat...
as if you've never seen me eating before?
I didn't put too much rice in my bowl today.
I have to eat at least this much to be able to yell, "All right!"
She's right. We have to eat well.
In Kyung. What's that in your rice by the way?
Oh, these. They're sweet potatoes.
Adding sweet potatoes in the rice makes my...
I think it's bringing my appetite back.
I was wondering who ate all the sweet potatoes I steamed yesterday.
So you put all of them in your rice.
Han Soo didn't even get to eat any of them.
Spare some. I want Han Soo to try them.
- Gosh, seriously. - Mum. Mum, please.
I don't want to eat it. Stop it, seriously.
She loves her son too much.
I feel bad for her future daughter-in-law.
Ms Park, please just let In Kyung eat them.
I'll pick up more on my way home from work.
In Kyung, eat up.
Okay. Thanks, Geum Soon.
Pardon me?
You haven't found a new director yet?
That means the production schedule will be affected.
To be frank with you,
it's a lot more difficult than I expected.
There are bad rumours about you.
Also, people in the industry only know Mr Oh's one-sided story...
about the conflict you had with him.
So what you're saying is...
that no director wants to work with me.
It sounds like...
you're telling me that you can't find a new director because of me.
I'm just telling you what's going on.
Mr Cha.
Am I getting on your nerves?
If you have something to say to me, please don't beat around the bush.
What's going on?
Are you two having an argument?
Jung Ho, why are you treating Min Woo like this?
He's already stressed out from working alone without a director.
How can you be harsh on him in this situation?
Why do you keep coming here after school instead of going home?
This is my workplace.
It's Min Woo's workplace, as well.
Mr Oh and I...
have been busy spreading rumours, and it looks like it's working.
Word has it that Nam Jung Ho is struggling to find a new director.
Is that right? He's getting what he deserves.
Not being able to find a director...
must mean the entire project has been put on hold.
So tell me.
What's Jung Ho planning to do?
Pardon?
I'm not sure what his plans are...
My goodness.
This is why I've been wanting to send a spy to Baekdu Films.
This is so frustrating.
Geun Tae, did you prepare what I asked you for the other day?
Yes, Sir.
It's here.
It contains information on all of Yoon Mi Hee's weaknesses.
Is that so?
Let me see.
You're right.
(Employee Information)
They can't find a director, so she must have...
a lot of time on her hands. Shall I summon Jeom Soon?
Hello?
Pardon me?
Ms Yoon Jeom Soon?
Yoon Jeom Soon? There's no one with that name here. Yes.
Don't worry. I'll get it.
You can get back to what you were doing.
- Hello? - Oh, my.
Is this Ms Yoon Jeom Soon?
Are you out of your mind?
How dare you call me here?
Oh, no. I can hear in your voice that you're scared.
I'm sorry to say this to you,
but don't get scared just yet.
What?
What do you mean by that?
I'm going to go meet Tae Joon now.
When you were Yoon Jeom Soon, you tried so hard to win my heart...
in order to buy your way to success. I'm going to tell him...
everything that happened between us in the past.
Hello? Hello?
Darn it.
What should I do? What should I do now?
Gosh, what can I do to stop him?
Wait.
Your hair.
You have rollers.
Gosh, seriously.
I hate you and your father.
Why are you two out to get me?
Is Chairman Lee Hyung Ok here?
They're talking right now.
What... What did you just say?
You cannot go in.
Listen, Ms Choi.
I'm going to fire you as soon as I marry Chairman Nam.
Brace yourself because I'll be sure to make it happen.
Gosh, why are you raising your voice like that?
Oh, Ms Yoon Jeom...
I mean, Ms Yoon Mi Hee is here.
Well,
I'll get going so that you two can talk comfortably.
Oh, right. Tae Joon.
Next time, I'll tell you something more interesting.
What brings you here? I didn't know you were coming.
Why do you think I'm here?
I came to see you because I suddenly started missing you so much.
By the way, what were the two of you...
talking about earlier?
You know that Hyung Ok and I don't have much to talk about.
The shoots keep getting postponed.
I should just...
marry you now because I have the time to do so.
Your goal should be working on...
as many films as possible before you get older.
Once you start getting wrinkles,
no one will want to cast you.
Right. So let me wear a wedding dress...
before I start getting fine lines.
Gosh, where did the time go?
You should get going.
He parted ways with Kim Yun Seok who was like a brother to him...
and joined Baekdu Films alone. Because of it,
many people in the theatre industry think of him as a betrayer.
He's acting like a puppy in your arms now because he's scared of me,
but he's certainly capable of pulling out a dagger...
and thrusting it into your neck.
I wonder what Hyung Ok will tell me next time.
- Goodness. - Is your stomach upset again?
Did you eat something bad at lunch?
Hey, you. My badly-behaving employee, In Kyung.
Can't you see how dirty the floor is? Clean it, please.
Do you hear me?
Goodness. Look at this garbage can.
Go and empty it.
It's not my turn to clean today.
Just do as I say. Stop talking back to me, will you?
Don't worry. I'll do it.
- I'll take care of it. - Geum Soon.
Why would you do it? Are you In Kyung?
Is your name Kang Geum Soon?
I told her to do it, not you.
It's all right, Geum Soon.
Okay. I'll do it, Sir.
Gosh, seriously.
Look at the mess.
You can't even pick that up?
Clean it up immediately!
Yes, Sir.
- Chil Bong, what are you doing? - Hey.
"My love, Geum Soon"?
Gosh, it's making me cringe.
Goodness.
Don't peep at my love letter.
Then shall I read it properly instead of peeping?
I...
"When I first saw you, I felt lightning in my heart."
What are you doing? Give it back.
"Oh, my. I've never seen such a beautiful girl like you."
"You're more beautiful and sparkling than any flowers or stars."
"My heart fluttered so much that I thought I was going crazy."
- Get off of me. - My goodness!
Han Soo!
This love letter is cringeworthy in a very entertaining way.
Give it back!
Come on!
Oh, Choon Ja. Come over here.
Why? What's going on?
Are you two fighting right now? Whose side shall I take?
Choon Ja, you should read this.
It's Chil Bong's love letter. It's seriously so hilarious.
- What? A letter? - Are you really going to do this?
Choon Ja, give it to me.
Just read it. It's so funny.
Here. Take it.
Why did you do that?
I'm not interested in other people's love affairs.
Reading someone else's letter...
isn't something a sophisticated, cultured modern woman should do.
What...
Look at this.
It's all crinkled. How are you going to fix this?
I spent over an hour on this.
Cultured modern what?
What was she saying?
You said you love knowing about other people's love lives!
Thanks for...
staying strong earlier, Perky.
I'm so proud of you.
I'll be sure...
to tell your dad about you today.
He will be...
very surprised to hear it.
But I know that he'll be so happy.
I'm certain...
that he'll be happy.
(Baekdu Films)
Oh, hello.
What is it now?
- Are you here to see Mr Nam? - No.
I came to see Min Woo... I mean,
I'm here to see Mr Cha.
Did you make an appointment to see him?
Well...
No, I didn't.
But if you tell him that I'm here...
Mr Cha is very busy with the project these days.
Make an appointment if you wish to see him.
- Please leave. - But...
Could you please let him know that I'm here?
Please, Sir. Please allow me to see him.
Please leave immediately.
Ms Kang.
Hello, Sir.
It's all right. Please get back to work.
Yes, Sir.
- Are you here to see Mr Cha? - Yes.
Thank you.
Where is Min Woo's office?
It's over there, but he left early today.
He said he wants to work at home.
Really?
Then I should go to his place.
Thank you.
Well...
I know...
that it's none of my business,
but I wanted to talk to you about your attitude.
You always sacrifice yourself first.
Have you ever thought that Mr Cha might not appreciate it?
Thank you for your concern,
but I know Min Woo...
better than you do.
He has always been grateful for my patience...
and my willingness to wait for him.
I know...
how he must feel about me now,
but I trust him.
I should get going.
Ta-da.
- Did you come here to give me this? - Yes.
I made it because I was bored at home, but it turned out so well.
I brought it because I wanted you to try it.
Isn't it so good?
Yes, it's delicious.
What's that?
Isn't it a storyboard for filming?
Yes.
I just did a sketch to teach myself how to do it.
I knew it.
You want to become a film director, don't you?
Okay. You have all of my support.
Hee Ae.
Thanks for believing in me,
but you being so enthusiastic makes me...
All right, fine.
Then I'll make it less obvious and do it in a discreet manner, okay?
Why is your room so messy by the way?
I guess In Kyung hasn't been coming by lately.
No.
- We're taking a break. - What?
- What do you mean by that? - I...
told her that I need some time to think about our relationship.
Seriously?
Then are you going to break up with her?
Min Woo.
I'm...
pregnant.
No.
Min Woo.
We'll have a baby soon.
What do you think?
Is this better?
Will you really be okay going home alone?
Of course. You don't have time to walk me home.
You have to work on the storyboard.
- Aren't I so thoughtful? - You are.
Thanks for being so understanding.
- Get going. - Okay.
- Min Woo. - Yes.
I have a chance now, right?
Tell me that I do.
Hee Ae.
Min Woo broke up with In Kyung,
so you have no reason to be against us being together.
Is this an opportunity I shouldn't miss?
Perky, what should we do now?
Let Min Woo direct the film.
What did you just say?
It's too much of a risky gamble for both Mr Cha and the company.
I'm confident.
When are you planning on telling Mr Cha?
I should tell him today.
In Kyung, wake up.
In Kyung.
