I took this route since you wanted a challenge...
But now we're lost.
Are you all right?
Is it bad?
You shouldn't have said...
Are you really all right?
Get on my back.
I just need a few minutes.
We'll freeze to death once the sun goes down.
Stop being stubborn or I'll punch you.
You want me to drag you when you're out cold?
Maybe...
If we'd met on a blind date or something,
would things have been different?
Every so often, I just wonder where we're going.
What's at the end of this road we've taken?
Why are you so quiet?
I'm only thinking about one thing.
Don't believe a word he says.
Let's get something to eat.
I just want to go home.
Get out. I'm starving.
Do you need to go to the hospital?
It's not that bad.
You must have an ancestor who put on an act to look tough.
You must have an ancestor who loved to tease others.
Judging from your joke, you're all right.
I told you so.
Tell me the truth.
When you're with me, you're not bored.
I'm not.
You don't give me the time to be bored.
Amusement parks, karaoke...
And I say things that make you nervous.
Yes.
Do you ever want to believe what I say?
No?
No.
Maybe we should've gone to a hospital.
Good night.
Sometimes...
...I wish I meant what I said.
Good night.
Sometimes I wish I meant what I said.
Why are you so quiet?
I'm only thinking about one thing.
Don't believe a word he says.
You can at least give me a chance.
Hello?
You don't sound well.
I was sleeping.
You're sick.
No, I'm just tired.
I'll be right there.
Why?
I'm responsible.
I'll take you to a hospital.
I'm hanging up. Good night.
Dan-ah.
She's not up yet?
That's strange.
She usually gets up before me.
Dan-ah.
She's breaking into a cold sweat.
Is she unwell?
It seems like she is.
Dan-ah.
Grandma.
You're breaking into a cold sweat.
My leg's acting up again.
What's wrong with her leg?
She has scars on her leg and shoulder from a car accident.
They always flare up every winter.
I'll do it.
She wouldn't want you to see the scars...
Dan-ah is my daughter.
Mr. Chairman.
Yes?
Dan-ah can't attend the service today.
Her leg...
Again?
Every winter...
Dan-ah!
Don't.
It's gross.
You should get it treated.
I did.
Wouldn't a skin graft make it look better?
It won't.
And besides, I don't want to get rid of this scar.
Why not?
Just because.
I want to keep it with me for as long as I live.
This is great.
Did you get enough sleep?
I did.
Why do you look so tired? Your eyes are red too.
Do you have insomnia?
No, Father.
It's because you're single.
Burying yourself in work doesn't help.
You're not getting enough sleep.
I slept enough.
Is something wrong at work?
No.
Maybe...
What? Keep talking.
Are you having second thoughts?
You've been talking with Chairman Ha,
and Professor Ha's been coming over.
Maybe you're hesitant about following through with our plan.
Father, you know me better than that.
I do, but it seems like you haven't been sleeping well.
I'm just worried.
I'm going to work.
- Hey. - Yes?
You know we worked really hard for this opportunity.
Yes.
Don't forget you hold the key to turn my life around.
I won't.
Are you going somewhere?
I have to go to the museum.
You should take a day off.
I'm all right now.
Just rest today.
I have to organize the items for display.
Then don't work too hard.
Okay.
Are you still alive?
Sadly, I'm still alive.
Why aren't you answering my calls?
Why should I answer your calls?
Let's talk.
I don't have anything to say to you.
Come on.
Don't waste my time!
Come on, Jin-ah.
I broke up with her.
So what?
My mom's sick again.
But she doesn't want to take care of my mom.
So what?
She and I weren't meant to be.
Jin-ah, I must've been crazy.
I can't believe the things I did to you.
You're crazier than you've ever been.
I'm really sorry, Jin-ah.
I have to go back to work.
Please forgive me. My mom misses you.
You just want to use me as a nurse.
You know how much I loved you.
I said I was grateful that I didn't have to stay with you.
We're completely over.
Jin-ah...
Are you crazy?
Who does he think this party is for?
Chairman Lee's guest list for the resort opening.
Just let him be.
It seems that he enjoys these events.
Doesn't it make you angry?
And if it does?
Don't be like that, Soo-young.
Blow off some steam before you get depression!
I don't like the way I am either.
Did you say gold?
It's only proper for our VIP's.
Yes.
What is it?
Why such few guests from our side?
We'll talk later.
Good to see you, Director Ha.
Do you want to invite more guests?
Can I invite more too?
You've already invited twice as many as we have.
I'm a people-person.
I think that's enough guests.
We should be modest given the economic situation.
If you say so.
But I think the gifts should be gold plates
with our resort engraving.
That's going too far.
Don't worry about the money.
I'll pay for the entire event.
We've been giving tea and kitchen towels during our events.
I remember from the funeral.
Was that a kitchen towel? I couldn't tell.
But tea and towels are too ordinary for families like ours.
The towels are sewn by the women in my family.
And the tea's harvested in our hometown.
I think modesty and sincerity would be more appropriate.
Can I stop by your house? I'm finished with work.
Why?
I should check up on my girlfriend.
Don't tell me you forgot what we are.
I'm not home. I'm at the museum.
I got it.
They're so conventional.
You're here.
Tea and kitchen towels for VIPs?
They're modest people.
Don't their women have anything better to do than sew towels?
Towels?
You know that thing we got at the funeral?
That was a kitchen towel.
I didn't know, so I cut a piece and carried it with me.
I've been using it as a handkerchief.
Really?
That grandma and her granddaughter have been
preparing these for several years.
But even Professor Ha...
Even an educated woman has to sew?
Is that what members of noble families do?
Forget it.
None of my business. See you at home.
Goodbye.
I'm not pregnant.
Just because you vomited once doesn't mean
I think you're pregnant.
Then what's this?
I figured you were hungry after vomiting.
And I felt sorry for you after hearing your story.
Aren't you supposed to be working?
I stopped by on the way. Eat up. I'm leaving.
Hey.
I read it all.
Okay.
Can you borrow more than one series?
I might have a party with the workers.
I didn't mean today.
Enjoy your food. See you.
Pick a different person.
This was your idea.
But...
This might not air, so you can relax.
How about the Pyeongchon elder?
But he's not a firstborn. Are you rolling?
Of course. I got a good shot.
Joo-jeong.
Yes, Brother.
Can I wash my face and change my clothes?
What are you doing?
Grandma Joo-jeong might ask me for an interview.
Put a flower in your hair too.
You're too dry.
A woman has to act fragile sometimes
to provoke a man to protect her.
Didn't I get on your back?
You should've been bed ridden for a few days.
Then I would've gone to your house and waited,
and be sad after seeing your pale face.
You're too into this.
You practice every night?
And prepare comebacks for what I might say?
I don't practice.
Then?
I'm just good.
Well...
So...
Cut! Again!
What's with the ''well'' and ''so?''
I'm trying to think.
You just have to say what was hardest for you
as the firstborn of a main family.
I will.
Start it again.
We're rolling, sir.
Begin!
Well, as the firstborn...
Well...
Cut! Relax, Grandpa.
You look so stiff.
I do? I thought I was okay.
Ready, go!
You're not the director.
Just go with it.
Yes, just go with it.
We're going again, Brother.
As the firstborn... Well...
Am I doing okay?
Brother!
It dropped...
Stop already.
I'm taking my time to help you.
This is the third time you dropped something.
So I'm only cleaning sturdy items.
- Leave. - No.
Your brother gives me the eye if I stay at work too long.
I can see why.
Don't take your family's side.
You're officially my girlfriend.
You should be on my side no matter what.
You should become an actor.
I'm following on your grandmother's advice, okay?
I give up!
Where are you, Hye-joo?
You're working?
You have a part-time job?
Hye-joo's not buying our show,
so we'll make a good impression today.
Hello.
Hey, I have things to finish.
What is wrong with you?
Why are you here with him during the break?
I already told you that I'd start over.
Dan-ah, I don't know what you're thinking.
But he's no good.
If you think Hyun-gyu's too young,
then I won't force you to date him.
But not that guy.
Think of what he did to Professor Noh.
And we also saw him at a hotel.
He went there with a woman in broad daylight.
I have to go.
You don't like vulgar people.
So why a guy like him, of all people?
Bye.
Were you talking about me?
Yes.
Why hang out with a jerk haggling for a genealogy?
More like a vulgar man who was at a hotel with a woman.
That's...
It's a long story.
I didn't ask.
You said you weren't going to come today.
I was at the library, but I left a book back here.
Where'd you leave it?
Why?
- Where? - Under the counter.
- This? - Yes.
Hurry up and go study.
Why are you rushing me?
Hurry.
Is this where you work?
Yes.
Go.
Can we sit there?
Yes.
Go to the library.
May I take your order?
What do you want to drink?
Kiwi juice.
Two glasses of kiwi juice.
Gang-suk, can you just leave?
But I just ordered.
Please just leave.
That's bold of you.
Working at the same place as him.
Please enjoy.
Did you put poison in it?
Sadly, I don't have any at the moment.
Want to go to the movies after dinner?
Yes.
I think we're on the right track, judging from the fact
that Hye-joo decided to work there.
What's with that look?
You started this show for the sake of two kids,
but does it bother you to see them together?
I thought it was very nice of Hye-joo to care for Hyun-gyu.
Out of all of us, maybe Hye-joo's the only one
who sees people for who they are.
I'm sorry.
I thought he was coming alone.
I didn't know you'd come today...
Forget it.
That made one thing clear.
She's not the type of person who'd fall for your brother.
So if she's willing to go this far to get rid of me,
then at least she wants to do something for me.
I mean something to her.
Let go of me!
Let's talk.
I have nothing to say.
Let's go.
Let's not do this. Remember how we were?
Please give me a ride.
Oh Jin-ah.
Please, Mister.
What are you doing?
Get in, Mister.
He's following us.
Forget that crazy punk.
Didn't he say he wants to talk?
So?
You should hear him out.
He wants to start over with me.
Should I stop the car?
Why?
You loved him a lot.
Do you want me to start over with a guy like him?
Do you want me to stoop so low?
I'm sorry.
I just thought he might be remorseful.
So what?
Should I then just take him back?
Is that the type of girl I seem to you?
I don't know how a man and a woman fall in love,
how they get hurt, and make amends.
I'll get out.
Sorry that I burdened you by asking for a ride.
I'm sorry I asked.
But I think I know this much.
I don't want you to do something you don't want to.
So don't get out.
Right, left.
Go!
This isn't a playground!
Behave, you brats!
You should've just stayed in your room.
I was energetic after eating some sliced pork.
You ate it all? I brought Rambo.
This is good.
Why are you eating that?
Sorry?
Move.
I gave him my leftovers.
This is the best part!
I ate the meat.
It doesn't even have a lot of meat.
Eat it.
The meat on the bones is the best part.
But he already chewed it.
As you were.
He didn't follow us here.
Thank you, Mister.
What will you do?
It didn't seem as if he'd give up.
He'll eventually give up.
He's just taking it out on me.
After getting dumped by a rich girl,
he probably wanted to pretend that he was a romanticist.
Isn't my life pathetic?
I can't say yes, can l?
Of course not. You're on my side.
How much longer?
You're doing work too.
I was just killing time since I was so bored.
So keep doing that.
You liar.
You promised to eat dinner
and watch movies with me in front of them.
Enough.
It already looks good,
but you just keep moving things around...
You're not a pro.
A real professional would make a decision and stick with it.
Did it look better before?
Yes?
Are you here to see Dan-ah?
No.
Then?
I just stopped by. Good night.
Your name...
...is Jeong something, right?
It's Jeong Hyun-gyu.
Do you want to have a drink?
Please drink.
I'm not much of a drinker.
You don't have to be so formal.
I can't help it. It's in my nature.
You must be a good drinker.
I wasn't when l first entered school,
but I drink a lot now.
It's because of your sister, Brother.
May I call you ''Brother''?
You may.
Thank you.
Dan-ah must be making your life harder.
She won't open her heart easily because of her past.
I know.
Professor Nam Myung-sook told me about it.
She told me that she was a distant relative of
Professor Ha's deceased husband.
She told you that?
She's helping me because I resemble him.
If that's the case, then she must like you a lot.
She wouldn't just help you because of a resemblance.
Maybe she felt sorry for me for trying so hard.
Can you keep your heart steady?
You might have to wait for a long time.
I can.
Dan-ah wouldn't easily fall for a younger student.
I know, and I also know that I have to wait a long time.
If you feel like drinking because of Dan-ah, then call me.
I'll save you some money since you're a student.
Thank you, Brother.
We got four years to go,
so let's get to know each other better.
Tell me about that guy in a cold place.
I should probably start with my story,
but sadly, I have none.
That girl at the hotel wasn't anything.
I won't lie that I've had no flings.
I got scolded in the army by a superior,
so I hooked up with a bar girl to feel better.
I had some flings when I went to study abroad.
But I've never loved anyone.
I first met him when I was 10.
It was summer in Cheonghak.
I was with my friends,
but I'd lost my shoe and was left behind.
I fell in the water while looking for my shoe.
Then I saw my shoe rising higher and higher.
There was this smiling guy in a uniform holding my shoe.
Then he helped me up.
My relative yelled at him by the water.
Jin-ha, she's Dan-ah.
Then I knew he was Jin-ha.
He asked me, ''Are you really Dan-ah?''
It keeps replaying in my ears.
Are you really Dan-ah?
Would a 10 year old know what love is?
I have to work.
Is that all?
Yes.
That's so bland.
I told you an R-rated story.
I too, regret that it was so unexciting.
I told you to take it easy today.
I did, Sam-wol.
Let's get a massage.
No, Sam-wol.
I'll be okay tonight.
- Sure? - Yes.
Then get some sleep.
Dan-ah's home?
You weren't asleep?
I woke up to the sound of her coming in.
Please boil some water. I'll massage her leg.
She said she'd be okay.
- Did she? - Yes.
Did you go to the bathroom again?
No, I woke up to the sound of Dan-ah coming in.
I usually just sleep like a log,
but I woke up when I heard her.
Young-in.
It's not ''Honey?''
I really like you.
I like myself too.
I don't know why I told him about you.
Up until now, I couldn't tell anyone about you.
Are you really Dan-ah?
Then you just left her behind?
You punk...
You men had it too easy.
Father, the men will fetch their own tables starting today.
Then shouldn't I have fetched my own table too?
Father...
You're exempt.
Because I'm old?
A courtesy for the elderly.
Please enjoy.
Young-in.
Yes?
Everyone fetches their own water too?
Of course.
The good old days are over for you.
Dear son.
Yes?
Please get me some water.
I thought it was self-serve?
But I'm your mother.
You tyrant.
I heard you.
I heard you too, Dad.
Here you go, Mother.
It tastes better when you bring it.
Grandma.
Yes?
Are you getting me a gift for Christmas?
Are you getting me a gift too?
I have a gift for everyone in the family.
It's not like you have any money.
I didn't say I bought them!
What's wrong with you?
Should I buy some medicine?
You're not eating?
I don't have an appetite.
You didn't sleep well, did you?
I did, so stop saying that.
I can tell from looking at your face.
You do look a little jaded.
But I still look good.
That's true.
But you still have to eat and sleep well.
Maybe Gang-suk's working too much.
He doesn't seem to have much of an appetite.
We sold our business, so he shouldn't be that busy.
Is it insomnia?
Last night...
He took wine to his room?
No, he went out for a drive.
He probably couldn't get to sleep.
Maybe he really is lonely.
That's why I told him to get married.
Here.
What's this?
I have a doctor friend. It's for treating scars.
It's not for sale yet, but it passed the tests.
You can use it.
Thank you.
- Dan-ah. - Yes?
You can heal only if you're willing to heal.
What's this?
A list of the employees to be cut.
What's the meaning of this?
The economy will hit bottom soon.
So we'll need to reduce our load.
That's why we reduced the number of new employee hiring�s.
I brought it up for review
because I thought that wasn't enough.
What's the meaning behind
the selection of the most experienced employees?
Shouldn't we do away with the highest paid first?
It's not just about the money.
Businesses are run by people.
Money's what got me here.
We'd rather go bankrupt
than resort to such inhumane methods.
Then don't do business.
Business is inhumane by nature.
Then you really picked the wrong partner, Director Lee.
- You called for me? - Have a seat.
I see a problem with the list of employees to be cut.
I sent it to the directors for review.
I'm not necessarily pushing the issue.
I don't think we're at a stage where we need to cut employees.
It'll be too late by then.
We think of our employees as family.
The employees know that too,
so they gave up their bonuses after Myungseong's fall.
There are also employees who are willing to resign
for the company's sake.
We should give them the chance to leave first.
Some are on the list you prepared.
I understand. I'll give this more time.
But if you're willing to do business with me,
I'd like you to be more decisive.
I'll take my leave.
Yes.
- I really hate him. - Tae-young.
He's basically saying we'll go bankrupt
if we stay the way we are.
We need more time to get to know each other.
He'll never understand us. He's a cold-blooded jerk.
The shareholder Park Hee-sub.
Yes.
Tell him I want to meet him.
Yes.
Where are you?
At the subway station.
I can pick you up.
But the kids aren't here today.
Goodbye.
She hung up on me again.
You're completely crazy!
I am. My mom's asking for you.
Shouldn't you be working?
I quit the company.
Was that it?
You got fired from the company owned by that girl's father.
I think I get the idea.
You're the only one I have.
Jin-ah!
Who are you?
Just leave, Mister.
You don't have to deal with this crazy punk.
Are you dating this old guy?
I know you have no manners,
but she's someone you loved before.
How can you insult her like that?
Then what is it?
Who are you to meddle in Jin-ah's life?
I love him.
You're dating this old guy.
Don't you dare mock him. You don't have the right.
I don't want to see you again.
Get out of my sight.
You really hit rock bottom.
- With such an old guy... - Get lost.
I'll leave.
I don't want a girl who'd date an old man either.
I'm sorry.
He wouldn't have left if I hadn't said that.
That was the first time I'd ever punched someone.
Change of underwear.
I already brought some from the station.
Did you? Should've told me so.
But this is ridiculous.
Whether you admit it or not, I'm a woman.
I went to a woman's lingerie shop,
but I couldn't find anything that would suit you.
Everything was just too racy...
So you bought me men's stuff?
Just wear it.
You wear it!
It's too small for me.
Your husband's here early!
He's not her husband.
But he is!
He even brought her food for her pregnancy.
Hey.
- Hello. - Welcome home.
Hello?
Just a moment, Professor Ha.
Please include a lot of deer antlers and ginseng.
The medicine's for my son's exhaustion,
so please use your best ingredients.
It's your medicine.
I said I'm all right.
Thank you.
My son's been having trouble eating and sleeping.
Let's continue.
Honey! Come outside!
They're shooting a drama!
There are famous stars here!
Can I come too?
The food's already on the table.
Would you please eat with Gang-suk?
I'll be right back.
I have to go.
Please.
He doesn't have an appetite,
so he's not going to eat alone.
Come before they leave!
Dinner's ready.
Hey.
Hey...
That's mine.
Don't work too hard.
Are you worried about me?
Don't believe a word I say.
And don't get the wrong idea.
I'll get married.
It's the only thing I can do for him.
You're the only one who can stop her.
If you stop what you're doing,
then I'll stop your sister.
You've never dated, have you?
I have!
It's just too sad to talk about.
Are you going to make me sing?
And dance too.
Shouldn't you show me how?
People will think we're dating.
Are you worried about what others will think?
How can you do this to us?
Let's just die together, you punk!
TO BE CONTINUED...
