[Beautiful Gong Shim]
Something's wrong with the seed in here, right?
No matter how much I try it's bound to die in there buried in dirt, no?
Why are you saying that?
It's just like me.
No matter how much I try, it's all useless!
It's just like me.
No matter how much I try, it's all useless.
[Episode 8]
If you sprout up, everything will work out for Gong Shim.
Be strong. You can do it.
- Hello. - Hi, Rooftop.
Are you going somewhere?
You don't see? This is garbage. And this is for water.
Oh, you should make your daughter do it.
Gong Shim?
How can I make her do it when she left for work?
- She went to work? - Of course, it's already pretty late.
What's wrong with you?
- I'm going. - Okay, see you.
Where did she go so early in the morning?
The phone is turned off...
Her phone is turned off, too.
Are you at least eating?
[Ggong Shim]
The phone is turned off...
I've been living there feeling intimidated and inferior.
You laughed looking at this picture, right?
If you laughed, call me now.
Where did she go all day?
What is going on? Why can't I reach her all day?
She's making me so worried.
Where did Gong Shim go?
Gong Shim.
You didn't recognize me, right?
I walked right in front of you, but you didn't recognize me.
I was looking for a girl with short hair.
I had no idea your hair would have changed like this.
I put it on at the restroom in the subway station.
It's nice, for a change.
Not as bad as I thought.
Yeah?
Guys like girls with long hair. I think that's enough of a change.
Let me go switch the wig in the bathroom over there.
That's a relief.
She doesn't look as bad as I feared.
Why aren't you asking me why I was crying last night?
You want to talk about it? Then tell me.
No.
Most people would be curious.
I cried my heart out in front of you.
I'm sure you weren't crying because you were happy.
Why would I ask about a misfortune?
If you want to talk about it, you would.
You sound like an adult.
Do you even know how old I am, you want to see my ID?
I...
Now, you look like a thoughtless child.
Do you know how much I think? My nickname is "Thought Kid."
A young kid thinking so...
I'm sorry, I can't be funny all the time.
You know that I quit work, right?
Seeing how you called me and texted me today
I know you know.
Don't ask me.
I'm not going to talk about it.
I'm not going to ask you.
Don't tell me.
You must have been outside all day long. Let's go home.
I didn't reply to your text because your selfie wasn't funny.
That didn't make you laugh? Liar, I know you laughed.
It wasn't funny at all.
Yeah, right. You are trying so hard right now.
I always have a smile on my face.
It was funny, right? You laughed, right?
Tell me it was funny.
- What? You quit work? - How? Why?
Did something happen?
I'm sorry, I quit because it wasn't a good fit for me.
You really resigned? You can't go back?
Yeah, it's completely over.
You should have just stuck around.
You know better than anyone else how hard it is to find a job.
I'm sorry.
Gong Shim resigned from Star Group?
I didn't like that she was working there.
I'm glad.
I overheard your conversation.
Why did you resign?
You said you heard everything.
I don't think I was made to be a secretary.
I'm glad you quit.
You can find a job better suited for you.
I'll try to find a job for you, too.
You hurt your arm?
A little bit. It's nothing.
Where did it happen?
I hurt it working out.
You should have been careful.
I felt bad about making Mom and Dad worry.
You should start working at a law office.
If you lower your standards a little, you can get a job anywhere.
Okay. Don't stress and get some rest.
Why is she worrying about me?
Gong Shim, I'm in front of your house.
If you are home, can you come out?
If you are not home, let's meet before you go in.
I'll wait for you.
Gong Shim, I'm sorry.
My mother did you wrong.
I apologize in her place.
And I want to apologize, too.
I'm so sorry.
No.
It's okay for you to resent me and my mother, and get mad.
I understand.
There's nobody who can understand that she made you resign
just because we are close.
I don't think I ever deserved that job.
From now on, I'm going to find a job better suited for me.
Don't worry about me.
I feel so embarrassed I don't even know what to say.
I mean it, I'm really okay.
Don't worry about me.
You say that, but I know it won't be easy to forget what happened.
You know me. I forget things quickly. It's really okay.
I'm more worried about you. Smile a little.
Thank you for saying that.
When I get a job and get my first check, I'll take you out to eat something yummy.
Wait until then.
When you get your first paycheck, make sure you take me out.
Okay.
I was in the middle of doing something, I have to go upstairs.
Okay. Go upstairs.
Goodbye.
Jin Soo?
I haven't heard from him since we graduated.
Gong Shim, it's been awhile. Have you been well?
I was wondering if you got a job.
I know of a good job opening, so I called, but your phone was off.
Call me.
I almost bumped into you.
Are you going somewhere?
A friend told me of a job opening, so I'm going for an interview.
Really? That's great. Where's the company?
It's nearby, the office is at the four way crossing.
No, I mean what kind of a company is it?
Distribution, I'm in a rush. Let's talk later.
Go make a lot of money.
What company holds interviews in the evening?
It's weird that she just got called out like that.
And what was with that duffle bag?
Distribution company? Could it be a pyramid scheme?
If you've never heard of us, you may think that this is a pyramid scheme.
But take a look. How does this resemble a pyramid?
This is a star. This is called network marketing.
Network marketing.
For the next three days
whoever finishes this lecture will start making 10 million won from day one.
You are guaranteed to make over 10 million won a month.
10 million a month? Is that possible?
Get him!
Once the lecture starts, you are banned from moving.
I will collect your cell phones, so you can focus on the lecture.
Take out your phones.
Who said you could talk on the phone?
Put that down!
Okay, okay, okay.
Please focus on the lecture.
Why do we need to get connected?
Each of you will form a group of 10 people.
And those 10 will form their own sub-group.
And that sub-group will form a sub-group of their own.
That's how we network.
The phone is turned off...
Her phone is turned off.
- Are you running away? - Yes.
Act natural.
Are you running away from a pyramid scheme?
Yes, it's a total fraud.
My friend tricked me into coming, and I almost died.
- Thank you. - Yes, get home safely.
I'll have to teach them a lesson...
In order to participate in this business, you need to invest.
You brought your bank account info, right?
I don't have any savings, may I go?
You can get a loan.
Don't worry.
Loan...
Oh, no...
Who are you?
Somebody reported a pyramid scheme.
If you got tricked into coming here, get up and go.
Gong Shim, come here.
- Who do you think you are? - Stop staring.
The money...
Let go.
Come on...
Even if they offer a job
how can you just go there like that?
You didn't know it was a scheme as soon as you stepped in?
I didn't know.
When people offer me a job, I don't see anything. Happy? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
I'm not yelling at you.
I'm not mad at you. I'm just so ashamed of myself.
Thank you for saving me. I'm sorry.
I once got tricked by it, too.
So the phone call from the Philippines came on April 18.
And the phone call from Korea was April 26, right?
Yeah.
And I'm sure the two calls were from the same man.
I'm sure it was the same voice.
Then it must be someone who came from the Philippines to Korea
sometime between April 18 and April 26.
The call on the 26th came from a payphone near your residence.
There was only one surveillance camera across the street.
It's too far away, and the quality wasn't great
so I sent it in to improve the quality.
I'm not interested in getting that man.
My wish is to find Joon Pyo alive and well.
Yes, I understand, Chairwoman.
Hello...
Hello.
Attorney Ahn Dan Tae.
You haven't met her, right? This is Joon Soo's mother.
Hello, my name is Ahn Dan Tae.
You are Joon Soo's friend? Yes.
I hear you've been assisting the chairwoman.
No, she's the one who's been good to me.
- I see. See you again. - Okay, goodbye.
He's the one looking for Joon Pyo?
It's an expected growth composite of Joon Pyo
based on his picture from the time he went missing.
Then this is what Joon Pyo would look like right now?
It's not a perfect match.
What if he really does find Joon Pyo?
How will he find a kid we abandoned 26 years ago?
Joon Pyo saw his mother getting hit before his eyes.
He became mute and lost his memory.
You know that, too.
It's been 26 years.
If he regained his memory, I'm sure he would have come back, no?
He still doesn't have his memory back.
Or he's dead.
We must never find Joon Pyo, and he must not be alive.
Unless you want to go back to your old life
you know what you need to do, right?
Welcome.
The attorney is not in?
He's out of the office. How can I help you?
I was involved in a real estate fraud. I had some questions for him.
I see. Please sit and fill out a form.
- Please write down your information. - Okay.
Hold on please.
Yes, hello? Yes, the court decision will take a few more days.
Yes, we can send it when it comes out or you can come pick it up here.
Okay.
Ahn Joong Seo?
- Mr. Yeom. - Mr. Ahn.
Can you take care of him for just a day?
Who is he? What's wrong with your face?
Did something happen?
Please do me this favor. Take care of him for a day.
You can let him play with your son.
Well...
I haven't seen your son since his first birthday.
Use this money to get him a toy.
See you tomorrow. Thanks.
Mr. Yeom!
[The next day]
Okay, I'll take care of the kid.
Whether I kill him or just throw him out, I won't let them find him.
Tae Hee, I'll take care of that kid.
Hang up. Okay.
Where's the kid? Where did the kid go?
I'm so sorry, I lost that child.
What? What do you mean? You lost the child?
Where did you lose him?
I took my eyes off of him for a little bit, and he went missing.
How can you lose that child? Find him now!
Find him, find him now!
Ahn Dan Tae is An Joong Seo's son?
Goodbye.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry, I'll come back later. I'm sorry.
- So you'll buy two sets for now? - Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me that you are selling these?
I felt bad and I didn't want to burden you.
You don't need to worry about that.
Oh, right.
I heard your husband will be coming to our gathering today to treat us.
Yeah, but we need to rehire his secretary, so he can't come.
I can pay in his place.
Why did his secretary quit?
She didn't quit, I fired her.
Why?
You scared me.
Did I scare you?
I'm sorry.
But why did you fire the president's secretary? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
I ended up hiring some rootless girl
and she tried to seduce my son.
I was so appalled, I fired her on the spot.
How dare she?
Don't mention it. Thinking about it now still makes me stressed.
Right! I can give out the makeup at the bazaar that I run.
Why didn't I think of that?
Jae Boon, can I order 50 sets?
50? Of course.
Okay, then put in an order for 50 sets for now.
Thanks, Tae Hee. Thank you so much.
You don't need to thank me. I'll see you at our gathering.
Jae Boon, wear something nice.
It's okay. It's okay, just leave it.
Hello, I saw a wanted ad.
Yes. You can leave that here.
- May I ask you something? - Sure.
Do they pay you on time? I've been defrauded way too much.
I got my pay yesterday.
Okay, thank you.
Gong Shim must have been so upset.
She got fired unfairly
but she had to say she resigned, so not to make us worried.
I'm sorry, honey.
This is all my fault. I'm making you and our daughters suffer.
Even when Yeom Tae Hee was badmouthing our daughter
I couldn't say anything because I had to sell the makeup to her.
I had to smile and thank her.
Tae Hee...
So pretty...
- You bought a new bag. - You have a good eye.
Seriously...
Jae Boon. What are you wearing? You should have changed.
You look like some market lady.
Yeom Tae Hee.
What's your problem?
Why are you looking at me like that?
How are you going to sell makeup like that?
Forget that!
Are you crazy?
That's for looking down on my daughter and firing her!
What are you talking about?
- I'm Gong Shim's mother! - What?
You're Secretary Gong's mom?
Yeah, she's my daughter. Damn you.
Call the police!
Yeah, call the police!
I'm going to tell the reporters how you fired my daughter!
Hey, this is no reason to call the police...
- Look here! - Oh my goodness...
Hey, return all the makeup.
I'm not selling to you.
Oh my goodness!
I only did what was right.
I wasn't expecting anything in return.
You're humble just as I heard.
Did something happen to your neck and back?
You were fine this morning. What's wrong?
It's just cramped.
Go get a massage then.
You're being so distracting.
I heard you used to work for Cheonpungan Law Firm.
Would you like to join our company's legal team?
Pardon?
You worked at a large law firm, so you've got the experience.
We would be happy to have you.
What do you say, Attorney Gong?
Would you like to become part of the Star Group's family?
I...
You're accepting our offer, right?
Yes.
Enjoy.
- Here! - Yes.
- A bottle of Sprite please. - Okay.
- Gong Shim, take this to table two. - Okay.
Here you go.
Enjoy.
Here's your Sprite.
Director Suk! Why did you come here?
I heard from Dan Tae.
It must be a good restaurant.
- How-- - Here!
Yes, I'll be right there. Can you wait a little bit?
- No, I'll take it to go. - Then order at the counter.
- Here! - Yes, coming.
You should go.
- More veggies. - Okay.
More veggies, please.
I'm home.
- Yeah. - These are ribs.
Why are you bringing home meat?
Attorney Gong will be joining our legal team.
What?
How can you not show your gratitude to someone who saved your life?
I couldn't even get in touch with you last time.
How could you be so rude?
- I'll thank her. - Do it before you run into her at work.
And invite her to the restaurant opening.
Call her now.
- Let's end our cold war. - Okay.
I'll call her.
Yes, hello?
Attorney Gong, it's Suk Joon Soo.
Yes, I'm listening.
I was wondering if you are free tomorrow.
I want to invite you to our restaurant opening.
- Me? - Yes.
I hope you will be able to come.
Okay, I'll be there.
Are you crazy? What do you think you are doing?
We bumped into each other. We both should have been careful.
- You did this to spite me, right? - Spite you?
How can you say that?
Look here!
Gong Shim's sister!
Let's not bump into each other anymore. You are so annoying!
Mother, how do you like it here?
All restaurants are the same.
What are you talking about?
The way I see it, it's so elegant and fantastic.
It's so clean, just like our Joon Soo.
- Joon Soo takes after me. - That's right.
Joon Soo, don't you agree?
What are you talking about?
It's nothing.
Hey, isn't Attorney Gong coming?
She said she'll come.
Okay.
Thank you for coming, Grandma.
I came since it's a company event.
I see.
- Enjoy your time. - Yes.
Joon Soo.
Thank you for coming.
It's so nice here.
Thank you for inviting me to a place like this.
- Hope your business takes off. - Thanks.
That guy...
How are the two of them so close? What is their relationship?
- Hello, I came. - Why did you come?
Joon Soo invited me to his restaurant opening.
I see, I'm glad you came.
Did you enjoy the meal?
Joon Soo.
Did you invite Ahn Dan Tae?
Yes, why?
It's nothing.
But didn't you invite Attorney Gong?
Why isn't she coming?
I did invite her.
You invited her and she didn't come?
What's her problem?
Director Suk!
Wow, this place has changed a lot.
But the people are the same.
- Right? - Of course.
And the taste is the same, too.
It really hasn't changed.
Oh, I have something to give you.
This.
Your dad dropped this the last time he came.
I found it later, but there was no way to contact him.
So I'd been keeping that.
Huh?
It's Dad's passport.
Dad's passport?
Yeah.
Ji Yeon, I'm going back to the Philippines. Don't worry.
He didn't realize he lost it here, and must have gotten it reissued.
Yeah, I guess.
- Thank you. - Good job.
Bye.
Order.
You must be tired.
You must have liked the ribs here.
Yeah, I kept thinking about it.
Actually, I've never eaten it myself.
I just smelled it a lot.
This is the sad reality of a part-timer.
- Eat all you want today, my treat. - No, it's my treat today.
Since I work here, I'm sure she'll give us good meat.
Three servings, please!
It's so nice eating as a customer.
I like it, too.
Next time you come, bring your company people.
It'll be good business for us.
Yeah, okay.
Actually, barbecue places are too hot in the summer.
Working at a cafe is nice.
It's cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.
The hardest part is being in charge of the charcoal.
It gets really hard.
I bet you've never worked part-time jobs, right?
I did, when I was studying abroad.
Where did you work?
Gong Shim.
Can I like you?
What?
I like you.
That's okay, right?
It's cute, really.
Gong Shim.
What happened? You look so worried.
I was just thinking.
What happened? You can tell me.
It's nothing.
Okay, I'll go in then.
Don't stay out for too long. You'll get mosquito bites.
The pipe burst again.
Gong Shim!
Gong Shim, the pipe burst again. Can you fix it?
- Again? - Yeah.
Hurry.
- You won't be uncomfortable? - Wouldn't the spa be better?
No, I hate spas.
It's very comfortable here.
Yeah? You are very unique.
Most people find other people's houses uncomfortable.
I don't know why I find this home so comfortable.
Sorry for the troubles, but you'll have to sleep here for tonight.
- Yes, I'll do that. - Gong Shim, call a pro this time.
- This is already the second time. - Okay.
I was going to do that.
You don't need to do that. I don't mind it breaking again.
I'm so tired.
- Good night, Mr. Rooftop. - Bye, Rooftop.
Okay, good night.
Gong Shim.
Good night.
Does your eye hurt?
Why were you pretending to sleep when you are not?
You scared me. You are so weird.
I wasn't pretending anything. I just had my eyes closed.
You kicked off your blanket, so I was trying to cover you up.
Yeah?
Then, I'm going to sleep, so please cover me up.
If you don't cover me up, I'll get cold in the dawn.
Father.
You scared me.
What are you doing?
Why did you hit me?
You screamed out of nowhere. Who wouldn't get scared?
You are so strange.
What the heck...
Whoa.
Did Mr. Rooftop go upstairs?
I don't know. I told him to eat breakfast.
He suddenly just went up.
Your washing machine is broken, right?
Gong Mi, let him use the washing machine.
Come this way.
Okay.
It's okay, it's already running.
It's okay to put it in the middle.
Give it to me.
I was a little oversensitive yesterday.
I was a little rude to you. I'm sorry.
No, I should have been more careful.
We are neighbors after all. Let's try to get along.
Yeah, that would be nice.
Then.
- Rooftop, let's eat! - Okay, coming!
Gong Shim, come eat!
Does he think this is his house?
Gong Shim, hurry and eat!
I'm coming.
I washed my hands clean. Don't worry and eat this.
Gong Shim!
Come, have a seat.
Everything tastes so good.
You are such a good cook. I'm about to cry tears of happiness.
You're bluffing...
Thank you.
I heard you are always eating on the streets.
Enjoy this home-cooked meal.
Thank you, but we should all share.
Come down to eat often. It's no big deal for us.
Thank you.
Here, wipe your hands.
Thank you, Gong Mi.
What's this?
Fish eyeball. I'm saving the best for you.
Thank you.
Gong Shim, I'm glad you came up.
It's beginning to sprout.
Yeah?
Aren't you happy?
You were waiting for it to sprout.
I am happy.
What's with you? You don't look happy at all.
The plant will be disappointed.
- You know... - What are you trying to say?
What's been on your mind? Come on, just tell me.
I'm going to Jeju Island.
What? Jeju Island?
I got a job at a horticulture company.
I need to go work on Jeju Island for about two years.
After that, I'll be able to work at the Seoul headquarters.
I made up my mind since it's what I studied and all.
I'll be working at a farm on Jeju Island.
The air is nice. I think it's a good thing.
I like you, Gong Shim.
Director Suk.
I'm being serious.
I wasn't planning on telling you.
But having told you, I'm more sure of my feelings.
Why would someone like you like a girl like me?
Why do I like you?
So many reasons. No, just one.
I like you just because.
Director, I...
I need time to work on myself, so I can start liking myself.
I'm lacking right now.
Even if someone likes me, I feel like it's out of pity or guilt.
No, it's not like that.
When you first called me your friend I was so happy.
Even after that, the feeling never went away.
Until I feel confident enough to think myself worthy of getting liked by others
can you can just support me as you are doing now?
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
This is to commemorate your rebelling today.
Gong Shim.
It's best to pick schools and jobs close to where you live.
You should know that.
Jeju is too far away.
You can't even get there by subway.
Yeah, that wasn't funny.
I can't be funny every time!
I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow.
I got my plane tickets already.
And I was assigned a dorm.
And now I'm finished telling you.
Gong Shim, this isn't right. How can you do this?
You are leaving for Jeju in three days?
I feel so ashamed of myself.
You saw it yourself.
I was stupid enough to get tricked into a pyramid scheme.
I know embarrassment and humiliation.
I want to make myself better.
I'm going to work hard. I'm going to Jeju Island.
Gong Shim.
Think about it again.
Let's go for some chicken and beer, and talk about it one more time.
I'm not hungry. I'm going.
Where are you going?
I need to tell my family I'm leaving for Jeju.
What do I do now?
This is insane, what do I do?
Why did you call me out so late?
We can talk tomorrow.
I needed to tell you now.
I understand that you need to go to Jeju Island.
But I'll be selfish, and just tell you how I feel.
Don't go to Jeju Island.
What?
When you are here, I can see you if I just open my door and come outside.
I can see you going to work while I'm eating breakfast.
And if I'm lucky and get a water leak, I can go see you at your house.
I...
I really liked that.
But if you go to Jeju Island
I won't be able to see you anymore.
So don't go.
Mr. Ahn Dan Tae.
If you go... I don't think I'll be okay.
Don't think about it too much.
Just tell me tomorrow...
that you are not going.
Okay?
Yes, I'm downloading the video file now.
It's done downloading. Thank you.
Dad?
Then it must be someone who came from the Philippines to Korea
sometime between April 18 and April 26.
Entered on April 23.
Dad?
Taxi...
Yong Soo, they'll be plucking out the tree at Yangpyeong tomorrow.
Take care of matters before then.
Okay, Ji Yeon. I'll take care of it.
Dan Tae, is everything okay?
I was out for too long, right?
- No, it's okay. - Nobody called?
- No. - Dan Tae, that tree at Yangpyeong...
They'll be moving it tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.
- A nearby tree farm will take it. - That's good.
- It'll be done tomorrow afternoon? - Yeah, they'll take care of everything.
You don't need to worry about it.
Okay.
The one who took Joon Pyo is dad.
Then where is Joon Pyo?
Dad is afraid of the tree getting dug up.
What is underneath that tree?
