Perky.
(Episode 38)
Where is Perky?
In Kyung...
My Perky.
Where is Perky?
Geum Soon.
I'm asking where my baby is.
In Kyung.
Perky is...
dead.
What?
I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.
No.
That can't be! I don't believe you.
Where is Perky?
Perky, Perky!
He's dead.
In Kyung.
Perky is dead.
No. That's impossible.
Where is my Perky?
My Perky. Where is my baby?
In Kyung.
Calm down.
No, I don't believe you.
There's no way that my baby is dead.
I must see him.
I told you that he's dead. Seeing him will just break your heart.
Perky is gone.
I sent him away.
Just forget him now.
- Forget him and move on. - Geum Soon.
Why are you being like this?
You know how important Perky is to me.
How can you do this when you know what he means to me?
I'm doing this because you're more important than Perky to me.
To me, you're a lot more important than your dead baby.
Those of us who are alive must go on with our lives.
Geum Soon!
Ms Park, have you seen Geum Soon by any chance?
Geum Soon?
She said that she'd stay home today because it's her day off,
but something must've come up. She left those there and disappeared.
She wouldn't disappear like this without a single word.
Something must've happened to her.
Gosh, I can't sit around and wait. I should go look for her.
Geum Soon is...
not coming home today.
Pardon me?
The family she works for called her about something urgent.
She's there now.
Something urgent?
What can it be? Why did they tell her to come in all of a sudden?
I should go find out what it's about.
I said it's something urgent!
(Somang Children's Home)
It's better this way...
for both In Kyung and her baby.
I made the right decision.
No matter how many times I think about it,
I know that I did the right thing.
As In Kyung's close friend,
how would you feel if you have to...
watch her live in misery for the rest of her life...
because of this baby?
In Kyung.
Have a bite of this at least.
If you keep this up, you could actually die.
What are you thinking?
You haven't even had any water. Are you trying to kill yourself?
(Baekdu Films)
Gosh.
Hey.
Everything has changed, but you're the same. That's no fun.
My goodness.
You haven't changed at all, either.
I know, right? This beauty here doesn't even age.
Aren't I too perfect?
Gosh, you really haven't changed one bit.
How many years has it been?
When did you come to Seoul?
I last saw you at your wedding, so it has been five years.
I came to Seoul about a month ago.
Are you going to ask me why I didn't come to see you sooner?
I've been busy.
But I've been hearing things about you.
Are you in Seoul for good now?
Yes.
I left my hair salon empty for way too long.
Gosh, it almost looks like a ghost house.
I've had enough rest, so I'm ready to reopen it.
Are you going to get back into finding rookie actresses, too?
Yes, I should.
I also have to find someone.
- You have to find someone? - Yes.
There's someone I must track down.
Ms Park...
We have to do this for In Kyung and her baby.
This is the right thing to do for everyone's sake.
We must...
take this secret to our graves.
Keep your lips sealed.
I really...
wanted to see you...
wearing this.
You didn't even get to wear it once.
You would've looked so adorable in this.
I'm sorry, Perky.
I'm...
Mum is so sorry.
Are you still battling the flu?
Look at this.
I'm looking after my stepdaughter, which I never thought I'd do.
- Get up already! - I have no appetite.
Do you want to be bedridden forever?
Here.
Eat.
The woman across the street gave us the seaweed.
Eat it before it gets cold.
Did that family work you like a dog or what?
How did you manage to get this sick?
I should go talk to them. What's their address?
I'll go ask them to pay for your hospital bills.
I'll eat.
I'll eat now.
She said it's good-quality seaweed.
Eat all of it.
Gosh, she's being way too harsh on In Kyung.
She got sick from overworking herself to get over...
the hurtful breakup. Ms Park should really go easy on her now.
Hurtful breakup?
Oh, Han Soo.
I thought you already left for work.
Did you say "the hurtful breakup"?
What do you mean by that?
In Kyung was actually...
dating her teacher from the night school, but they broke up.
That teacher guy dumped her in a heartless way.
Is something bothering you?
Hello, Sir. No, I'm all right.
You look troubled.
What's the matter?
I've never seen you looking that stressed out.
To be honest,
I'm a little worried about my sister.
Ms Kang? Why?
Did something happen to her?
Well...
She's back home now,
but she's very ill.
She's very ill?
This spring feels...
excruciatingly long.
Ms Kang.
Han Soo told me...
- that your health isn't good. - Please don't worry.
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
Did you come all the way here to see me?
Well, yes.
Han Soo told me that you've been busy with work,
so I thought you were doing well. But you don't seem...
Mr Nam. Thank you for your concern,
but the fact that you're visiting me here like this...
is making me feel a little uneasy.
Right, sorry.
I should've at least let you know that I was coming.
I actually wasn't planning on visiting you at home but...
You now know that I'm doing well,
so please leave.
Also, I'd appreciate it if you don't...
visit me at home again.
All right. I'll get going, then.
Ms Kang.
The sight of you standing in front of my car in order to stop me...
left a lasting impression on me.
It taught me that you're a righteous,
brave and hard-working person.
I hope you can...
find that lost part of yourself again.
Well, I just wanted to tell you that.
Take care.
"A brave and hard-working person".
That lost part...
of myself?
Oh, Dad wants everyone to gather at our place tonight for dinner.
- Sure. - I forgot to tell you in advance.
I asked Geum Soon...
to make the dishes that you like.
What?
Hey, Hee Ae.
You need to spend more time with my dad so that we can get married soon.
Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
I wonder if In Kyung has eaten anything.
Gosh.
Just a second.
What am I seeing right now?
Isn't he that teacher from the night school?
You remember me, right?
Let's talk.
I have nothing to talk to you about.
Let's go.
There are so many things I want to discuss with you.
Shall we just talk here, then?
I thought I made myself clear.
I said I'll not let it slide if you ever break my sister's heart.
What do you want from me?
I told you to stay away from her...
unless you're serious about dating her.
How dare you break her heart?
Why are you bringing up things that are already in the past?
In Kyung and I broke up a long time ago.
I know you dumped her to be with that rich girl!
Do you know how much my sister means to me?
How dare you play with her heart.
It's over. I know that you're her brother, but don't you think...
that you're crossing the line now?
You think so?
Shall I show you what crossing the line means?
Do you know why I didn't punch you?
I'm letting it slide because of In Kyung.
I don't want her to be worried because of a jerk like you.
A scum like you...
don't even deserve my punch.
How did In Kyung's brother get a job at our cinema?
Min Woo.
Are you all right?
What did that guy say?
Did he try to hurt you?
No, I'm fine.
He didn't hit me or anything like that,
but I'm a little worried. He threatened me.
He threatened you? How?
It wasn't anything too serious. He was like, "You better watch out."
He probably saw me looking happy with you and got all jealous.
Who does he think he is?
Gosh, I'm so upset.
Why is every single one of In Kyung's family members like that?
Don't think about it. They do not deserve our time.
One thing worries me, though.
One thing? What are you worried about?
The fact that someone who is so nasty works at Baekdu Cinema.
If he causes trouble while working,
he'll end up ruining Baekdu Films' name, as well.
People might think that we hire gangsters.
Gangsters?
I can't let that happen.
I should talk to Jung Ho about it.
What is Cha Min Woo doing?
He should just bite the bait I've thrown.
What's taking him so long?
Boss.
Do we really have to work under him?
Working under him is just so pathetic. Gosh, seriously.
Why don't we go talk to Chairman Nam?
Hey.
Think before you talk.
Don't you know how Nam Tae Joon is?
How he values loyalty is what got him this far in the film industry.
Do you actually think he'll accept Lee Hyung Ok's underlings?
- No. - Stop making me talk, then.
You're making me hungrier.
If we want to sustain ourselves,
Cha Min Woo is the only solution we have at the moment.
By the way,
didn't you say that you don't like red beans?
That's right. I'm not a fan.
But I like these red bean buns.
Hey, let me take a bite.
No, I don't want to. You have yours, too. Just eat yours.
I already finished mine.
A bird that eats fast can eat more.
Is the new film, "The Lovers", coming along well?
Yes. Thanks to you, the project is going very well.
Everyone is praising you, saying how amazing the script is.
Gosh, Hee Ae.
You two are engaged now, so you don't need to be so polite with him.
I mean, it's not like you two just met. Talk to him casually.
I agree. You should just talk to him casually.
My gosh. What has gotten into you?
You never agree with me.
Hee Ae.
How do you want to call him? Do you have anything in mind?
Nothing in particular.
How about just Min Woo?
Can I keep calling him by his name?
- My gosh! - It's hot!
Min Woo, are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
You should've been more careful.
I'm sorry.
My hands feel very weak today.
I see. Please don't worry.
In Kyung.
From now on,
In Kyung's life depends on you.
You must help her so that she can forget about her baby...
and move on with her life.
Do you understand?
Just a second.
You're so pretty.
You're making me blush.
Yes.
In Kyung will meet someone much better than him...
and live a comfortable life.
In Kyung.
Geum Soon, where is Perky's stuff?
I can't find any of his stuff.
Everything from my pregnancy journal to his clothes is gone.
Stop looking for his stuff.
They don't exist any more.
- What? - I got rid of them.
What?
Where are they now?
Why did you throw them out?
I want them back. Give them back now.
If I do,
you'll cry every night with those in your arms.
You can't keep on doing this.
I can't get him out of my mind.
I cannot forget about him. What do you want me to do?
What do you think...
Perky will say if he sees you like this?
Do you think he'll be happy?
He won't be able to rest in peace because he'll be too sad.
- You need to let him go. - Geum Soon, please.
We should let him rest in peace.
Let him go so that he can be at a better place.
That's the only thing we can do for him now.
I'd appreciate it if you don't...
visit me at home again.
Just a moment, Jung Ho.
I want to talk to you about something.
What is it?
There's a punk who works at Baekdu Cinema.
Fire him.
A punk?
That young guy who speaks a dialect.
He's very rude and rough.
Are you talking about Han Soo?
Why do you think I should fire him?
Because of that guy, Min Woo almost...
Anyway, just get rid of him.
I don't like him because he scares me.
Hee Ae.
I can be understanding about other things,
but I have no tolerance for you meddling in my work. Did you forget?
Telling me to fire my employee...
just because of your personal feelings...
is out of line.
Know your place. Got it?
What's with him?
In Kyung, what are you...
In Kyung, what are you doing?
Are you admiring the stars or the moon?
Han Soo, you're home.
In Kyung.
I have something for you.
You didn't have to buy these.
I bought them because you used to like them.
Here. Try it.
I'm sorry, Han Soo.
I can't eat anything right now.
What happened to your hand?
- Did you hurt your hand? - What?
Oh, this. I got a small scratch while working.
In Kyung.
I know that you're heartbroken because of that teacher.
What?
To be honest, I don't know how hurtful a breakup can be.
I don't really know what it's like,
but watching you being so distressed is upsetting me terribly.
Han Soo.
Take this.
It's yours.
(Passbook for Savings Account)
What is this?
It's the passbook for my bank account.
I've been saving all of my pay from the cinema...
without spending a penny.
I was going to wait until I reach my savings goal to give it to you,
but...
I just decided to give it to you today.
Han Soo.
Why are you giving me your hard-earned money?
Take it back.
I want to give you my hard-earned money...
because you mean so much to me.
I know how much you care about me,
- but this is... - Then just accept it.
In Kyung, I also...
don't want you to be sad any more.
I want you to do whatever you want to do.
Do something that makes you happy.
I'll earn money for our family.
Han Soo.
In Kyung.
When we were younger,
you used to say this to me when I got home after having fights.
"Han Soo."
"You must be exhausted."
In Kyung.
I know how exhausting your life has been.
From now on, only do things that give you joy and fun.
Seeing you living a happy life...
is my dream.
Han Soo.
(This belongs to Kang Han Soo's sister.)
Yes, Han Soo is right.
I'm not alone.
I cannot...
waste my life away like this.
Perky.
You're watching over me, right?
I'm...
not going to let you down.
I'll stop crying and live a better life.
Keep watching over me,
okay?
My Perky.
Look at you. Are you finally getting out of the house?
Yes. I want to go out today.
Wait.
Why are you still at home?
Me? I'm taking a sick leave today.
Sick leave?
Are you feeling ill?
It's more of a preventative thing.
I get sick if I don't get to play from time to time, you know.
By the way, it sounds like you got your energy back.
I'm so happy that you feel better now.
Anyway, where are you going today?
I just want to get some fresh air.
Well, the spring air is certainly very refreshing.
And I sure know how to enjoy what the season has to offer.
My name is actually not Bae Choon Ja.
Call me Spring Breeze.
What do you say? Do you want to hang out with me today?
Sure, that sounds great.
Your smile is making me so happy.
I'll meet you outside. Let Spring Breeze here lead the way.
Did you send an orchid to Ms Hong's hair salon to congratulate her?
Yes, Sir. I did.
I saw her the other day, and she hasn't changed at all.
That's not really true.
She used to manage so many popular actresses, you know.
She was very influential back then.
(Queen Salon)
This place is...
Changing your hairstyle is the best way to refresh your mood.
Getting a new, stylish haircut...
can instantly lift any girl's spirits.
This hair salon opened recently,
and I heard that the owner is known for her magic touch.
Rumour has it that she can turn any ugly girl...
into a pretty princess.
She also trained many actresses and beauty pageant winners.
She's like a legend in the industry.
I guess you're not interested in things like this.
Then we can find something else to do...
No.
Let's go in.
- I want to get my hair done. - Really?
(From Nam Jung Ho of Baekdu Films)
I told him to visit my salon, but he just sent this orchid.
I guess he wants to look busy.
I bet that lady in the cheap-looking outfit isn't the owner.
I want her to do my hair.
(Queen Salon)
Here it is, Ms Hong.
What?
Is she the owner, Ms Hong?
My goodness. I should've chosen her.
What kind of hairstyle would you like?
What would you like me to do?
Please make me look like a different person.
Like a different person?
Yes.
Please make me look...
completely different from how I look now.
She changed the sign, too.
It looks great.
My gosh. I almost didn't recognise you.
What do you think? Are you happy with it?
Yes.
I really look like a different person.
I won't charge you today.
- Pardon me? - You put me in a good mood.
Ms Kang?
Mr Nam.
I want to meet her.
Ms Kang?
How can I meet her?
Did I come to the right place?
Oh, right. You've never been to a film shoot, right?
Film shoot?
The director of photography thought she was a rookie actress.
- This is... - I know what I want to do.
- What is it? - It's...
