Episode 1
Sorry.
This is your daily, five-minute radio news.
The 2010 International Skating Union's short track speed skating
World Cup Series will be held in Korea next month.
Competitions are underway in Korea and the U.S. to select the athletes to...
Saewa! I won!
I got my ticket to Korea!
I'll be there in a week!
I love you, Yun Saewa! I love you!
Next, we move on to the economy update.
The KOSPI index has climbed yet again, in two digits.
It has recovered the 1710 point.
Fears of a double dip recession have eased, and the U.S. stock market
has increased for the third day in a row to improve sentiment...
Thank you.
Saewa. You were amazing.
When did you memorize all that?
I heard that you were the head of your class of 30,
but it looks like you're more fit for anchor to the 9 o'clock news.
I'm still new at this.
That won't matter if the director acknowledges you've got what it takes.
I hear they won't be going through auditions this time around.
They'll receive recommendations from the Bureau of Announcing.
You know how they say Kim Jun is out to reform the whole bureau.
He might chose someone young to be the face of the news.
Really?
But he's in News Department right now.
People are saying he might come back to Announcer Department.
He had been asked to be sent to the News Department.
He's such an influential figure in this industry.
The board places a lot of trust in him.
Oh.
Do you know Carl Laker, the short track speed skater?
I think you mentioned him before.
You said he was that Korean adoptee at your home stay when you studied abroad.
Oh, that guy? That's random. Why?
I'll be producing a program where we help estranged families to meet again.
Can you introduce me to him?
He's going to come back a proud U.S. short track skater.
He's handsome, too. It'll be great for ratings.
Actually, he's...
Saewa. We got word we have a new director for our bureau.
Who is it?
Kim Jun.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
I hear he might even go into politics soon.
He's wanted by all the parties, because he has such a great reputation.
Good broadcasting has to be fair and just.
I hope that you will always think of those who are underprivileged
and those who need our help no matter what program you're in.
I'll do my best to support you in fair, just broadcasting.
Congratulations.
I'm Yun Saewa, and I'm a 30 class announcer.
I'll do my best.
Yes. I enjoy listening to your five minute news.
Hello.
Will you go away?
Do I have "reservation for two" written on my back?
Why do you keep following me around and getting in my way?
This street doesn't belong to you.
Besides, why should you care where I stand?
If your salon was that great, people would go to you.
Don't you know we live in an era of competition now?
What did you say?
You'll be seeing me daily, so get used to it!
- Hello! - Oh!
I thought you went out to accept Bongi's wedding gifts.
What are you still doing here?
Your mother told me to hand these out.
I'll do it for you.
Why would you do that?
Your mother will get mad at us.
It's better I do it instead of letting you do it.
After all, I'm young and pretty. I'll hand these out in no time.
Can I go over to see Bongi's wedding gifts later?
Why?
It'll be fun.
My daughter may have lost her father at a young age,
but other than that, she is pretty and she went to a great school.
I hope you'll bring me more profiles of other eligible men,
including some sons of the rich and famous.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Come.
Goodbye.
What are you doing?
You agreed you'll do my hair since Bongi's getting her wedding gifts today.
I may live in a rundown place, but I want to look my best today.
You said that yourself.
I have plans to go out.
Ask someone else to do it.
Do you think Saewa can come to our house later?
She and Bongi were classmates in school,
and it'll be great for Bongi to have a friend like Saewa by her side.
Are you serious?
Do you think you can ask for my daughter's presence as you'd ask for a new hairdo?
This is why people say you have to be careful once your daughter gets famous.
Do you think she has nothing better to do?
What?
Did you make Mrs. Lee angry again?
I heard Taehun passed the first round of the bar exam.
What if he becomes a judge or a district attorney? How will you face her then?
Bar exams aren't like drivers' licenses.
He's been at it for four years already. He'll never pass.
I try to be nice to her, because we're from the same hometown,
but she can't seem to control that temper of hers.
Her husband's business failed years ago. What does she have to back all that pride?
Three more course meals.
Three course meals.
What kind of rice is this?
I cooked it with water boiled with nine different herbs.
What did I tell you to remember as you're cooking rice?
Color. Sheen. Smell. Texture.
And is this your idea of good rice?
Rice has to be eaten with other foods.
If it has such a strong taste, it'll dull the other flavors.
You've been nothing but trouble in all your three years as an assistant,
but I tried to be good to you because you work so hard.
Do you want to go back to doing the dishes?
No!
I'll cook the rice again.
Sir. Bongi's getting her wedding gifts today.
She asked for a leave.
No!
I don't care about those gifts. I'll cook that rice for you now.
Go.
You've just been saved by those gifts!
Thank you!
Your call will be forwarded to an automated messaging system.
Why did you turn off your phone, Yonggi?
I called to ask you when you're coming with the gifts tonight.
Will you give me a call?
Dad!
What are you doing here?
Today's a special day for my little girl.
Daddy, you're the best.
How many people are coming?
I don't know.
Yonggi must be busy. He hasn't answered his phone since yesterday.
I'll call him later to ask.
You worked so hard.
You were helping me pay back the debts I got myself into.
Don't say that.
You'll do well.
I'm not saying that because you're my daughter.
You're a pretty, sweet girl with a great personality.
You'll get lots of love from Yonggi and live happily.
Dad.
Auntie! This is boiling!
Look!
You're not the one getting married. Your niece is. Why are you working out hard?
Go somewhere else. You are distracting someone who's busy and stirring up dust.
Don't try to stop me. I'm going take Yonggi down in one go.
When you got married your feet were so swollen from the beating*,
(*wedding tradition where the groom's feet are beaten with a stick)
you cowered like a fool and promised to be ever faithful."
I remember that.
And now you're so happy to be on the other side of the stick.
Why are you talking about my dead wife's family?
It's been more than ten years.
Yonggi's a Western food chef. Isn't he as greasy as the food he makes?
He was such a greaseball from the start, following Bongi around like that.
It doesn't matter what he's like.
He loves Bongi, and he's rich. That's all that matters.
It feels like a party here.
- Gangjae. - Uncle!
I thought you had a late undercover shift today.
What are you doing here?
I asked some other detective to cover for me to be here.
Thanks, Uncle!
Sure.
You must be so tired.
I should have come early to help.
No. You shouldn't lift a finger on a day like this.
- Why don't you go take a bath? - Okay.
Will you come help me?
I really need help right now.
Okay.
Your burgers order in a special sauce.
Thank you.
Hey buddy! You finally get to go to Korea, huh?
If you win this game, are you going to marry Saewa?
Of course man. Today's my last day working here.
And Alexis too right?
Absolutely!
Anna!
I cooked your favorite from the restaurant.
Hurry up.
I even bought your favorite flowers!
Hello!
Saewa!
How did your part-time work go?
Fine.
I couldn't concentrate knowing I'll see you next week.
Did you have dinner?
I had all of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I do that every day. Why do you always ask me that?
That's the most important thing to me, whether you've eaten or not.
I'm going to win in Korea and put that gold medal around your neck.
Anna really misses you, too.
Anna? Is she coming with you, too?
Of course. I can't leave her all alone here.
But you have to compete.
Did your coach agree to this?
I couldn't tell him. I'm keeping it a secret.
Is that why you took on all those jobs?
To pay for Anna's trip, too?
You must be tired enough with the practice.
I'm fine.
I really miss you, Saewa.
I miss you, too.
I have to go work out now. We'll talk again tomorrow.
I love you, Yun Saewa!
Anna!
Why did you take out the harmonica again?
I told you!
That jerk left you and me both! We're not going to Korea to look for him!
We're going there so I can win first place and marry Saewa.
So don't get the wrong idea! Do you understand?
Saewa. I can see your panties.
Kidding.
What's wrong with you?
You haven't looked at me so much in the past two months. I had to try.
I have a boyfriend.
No. You don't.
You work out every single night. When do you ever go on dates?
You do the five-minute radio news on weekdays,
and on the weekends, you do the news bulletin, too.
Are you stalking me?
If you keep this up, I'll talk to the manager and have you removed.
You can't do that.
I'm a member of this hotel fitness club, too.
Sir? Do you have any security here?
It's not as if I've stolen your heart already.
It's too early to be calling for security.
I'm sorry for the scene. I'll take care of it.
You can go.
Sir? Why are you leaving?
He's in the service industry.
He can tell I'm not a bad person just by looking at my eyes.
I'm trying to say I'm not a bad person.
What is it you want?
Five days a week, from eight to nine at night,
let's jog side by side for 30 minutes.
I'll take your answer as a yes.
If you want to do something more than that, I'll be okay with that, too.
Mrs. Kim!
Yes?
I told you not to touch my husband's underwear.
It felt strange to leave out only his things as I did the laundry, so...
I'm sorry.
I don't like repeating myself. Do as you're told.
If you don't, you'll have to find another employer.
Go.
I brought you new ones.
I thought I heard voices.
It was nothing. I was talking to the housekeeper.
- I'll take it. - No. I'm fine.
You should eat.
This is too much. We're only a small family.
You work so hard and you finally got a promotion. This is for you.
It's not that over the top.
Congratulations on getting promoted as director.
Even if I am director, I won't receive any favors having to do with your hotel.
That's final.
I wouldn't think you'd do that.
By the way, Mr. Cho called while you were in the shower.
He says he wants to have a meal
with you once he's back from Gyeongju Hotel, before he goes abroad.
Sure.
He and his wife are like parents to us.
I haven't called them in months.
Thank you.
Now I'm not only the son of a hotel president,
I'm also the son of the director of the Bureau of Announcers.
Congratulations.
Thank you,
but remember you and your mother have to behave yourselves well
now that I'm in a higher position.
Dojin is doing very well at the hotel.
He worked hard to get the short track skaters to stay at our hotel.
Is something going on?
You look like you're in a good mood.
I have a friend I can work out with now.
Are you starting that again?
It was not long ago that that girl came to our house, begging to see you.
This one's different.
You won't be disappointed.
That's what you say every time.
What do you think of announcers?
She'll be smart and sweet enough to...
Honey!
What is it you see in him?
Don't say that.
There is no man like your father.
Yonggi. You stay here.
I'll take care of this.
Mom. I'll talk to them.
No. You've dragged on this mess for far too long.
I'll be right back.
I'll take that.
What time is it? Yonggi must be running late.
Bongi? Is Yonggi going to be late?
Will you call him?
The food's getting cold.
He won't pick up.
I'll try again.
That must be him!
Go inside. The bride shouldn't show herself yet.
What are you doing here?
Hello. I'm here.
Hey.
I haven't seen you in a while, Saeyeong.
- Where's Saewa? Did you come alone?
- Actually, I saw someone outside...
What?
I'm here.
I never once gave this marriage any serious thought.
It seemed ridiculous to me.
But our families have already met.
I assumed you had given your permission.
I was forced to come to that restaurant.
I told my son I wouldn't let this happen,
but he's too nice for his own good.
He must have felt sorry for your daughter. He was scared of her.
I had to come here myself.
Do you actually think this makes sense?
I hear you're still in debt after your kimchi factory failed.
Are you going to ask my son to pay for all that?
We've never once thought of that. Ever.
How dare you to say that!
Oh. You must be that uncle who's leeching off your brother after your wife died.
What?
We're not leeching off them. We're living with them.
- Good. - Oh.
Bongi. Call Yonggi now.
How is this happening?
There's no need to ask my son to come.
He and I both agree.
I hope I'll never have to see you again.
Oh. Yonggi's going abroad to study.
Don't even think of begging him to stay here.
How could this happen?
Instead of wedding gifts, we got some crazy woman instead.
- I'll kill them all! - Uncle!
I'll... I'll go to talk to Yonggi.
- Mother! - Stop!
Where's Yonggi? Where is he?
Yonggi! We need to talk!
We need to talk!
Yonggi! Open the door!
Talk to me! Yonggi!
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
How can you do this to me?
Let's go.
Yonggi!
How...
I don't believe this...
Yonggi...
What has just happened?
This can't be happening.
I don't believe any of this.
Honey...
Honey!
Bongi!
How did it go?
Why are you alone? Did you talk to Yonggi?
Mom.
What did Yonggi say?
He said his mother was mistaken, right?
Well?
We already made reservations at the wedding hall! We got the gifts!
You couldn't have done this by yourself!
I'll talk to him.
I'll meet Yonggi myself, and...
Dad. It's no use!
Yonggi says he doesn't want me anymore.
I'm sorry.
Mom. Dad. I'm so sorry.
Taehun...
What'll we do with your sister...
What'll we do with Bongi...
Mom.
Why couldn't you see this coming?
Why couldn't you tell?
Yonggi was here a week ago saying how much he loves Bongi.
How could she have known?
I'll destroy them all!
- Piljae! -Oh!
This is all because of Kim Jun!
If he hadn't made that false report of our kimchi factory when he was a reporter,
none of this would have happened!
Mom. I'm fine, so don't cry.
I don't want to marry someone who doesn't love me or my family
because we're poor.
This is a good thing.
Don't cry. Mom.
They say you'll get a great husband-in-law if you have a great daughter.
Saewa's so fabulous. I can't help but pick and choose among...
Mom! Something awful happened!
What's going on? Why are you shouting?
Bongi's wedding's off!
What?
She didn't get those gifts. Her boyfriend's mom came to call it off!
What? Why did she do that?
I don't know. She must not have liked Bongi and her family.
She was really mean.
I knew it wasn't going to work when Bongi said she was going to marry a rich man.
Seonok must be really upset over this.
Why didn't his mother do this sooner?
Why did she do it a week before the wedding?
Saewa. You're home.
Why did you go over there anyway?
You know how close we are to that family.
They used to be rich when we were poor.
Bongi's dad used to give us allowances,
and we even got free clothes from them.
- We got their storybooks, too... - Quiet!
Why are you talking of ancient history?
Saewa. Hold on.
You girls listen to me.
I won't let what happened to Bongi happen to you.
I'll protect you from that. Don't worry.
I won't let people point their fingers at you because you grew up without a dad.
I'm going to marry you two off to fabulous, rich, smart husbands.
You'll be happy for the rest of your lives.
- So, you're not allowed to date anyone. - Mom.
Saewa. You're going to be the face of the nine o'clock news soon.
You have to care about yourself from now on.
And Saeyeong, don't do anything to ruin your sister's career.
In fact, don't tell people you're her sister.
- Pretend like you're strangers. - Mom!
Did you have dinner?
- I ate. - Okay.
I love you, Saewa.
Anna misses you, too.
One Week Later
I'm okay. I'm okay. I just need to grit my teeth and make money.
I just need to think of my parents.
- Bongi. - Dad.
Your face looks so thin.
Dad.
This must be hard on you.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
You can scream and get mad at me all you want. I'm okay.
Why would I scream at you? You've raised me so well.
I'm fine. I can overcome this.
You look so thin yourself.
How's Mom doing?
Honey. Bongi will only feel worse if you stay like this.
You need to get up.
Why is this happening to someone like Bongi?
She's always been so sweet to us and her brother since she was little.
May I come in?
Yes.
Mom. I thought this might cheer you up.
I'm so ashamed.
This only happened to you because you met such good-for-nothing parents.
I can't even look you in the eyes.
Don't say that.
You'll only make me feel worse.
Please.
Yes. We should cheer up.
Mom. Look at me.
You know me.
I fell into the outhouse toilet at grandma's when I was seven.
I got out alive just fine!
Yes. I remember how you got sick after that.
But aside from that one time, I've never been sick at all.
This is like that, too. I'm only going through my bad luck in advance.
Now, all that's left is for me to have a great life.
Bongi.
I'm going to keep my head up.
I'm going to make a lot of money.
I'm going to become chef of the hotel restaurant.
You'd better not become sick.
If you do, I won't be able to brag about my great life.
So eat up.
I made some rice porridge for you.
Oh...
You're so thoughtful. You leave me with nothing to say.
Dad. You try it, too.
I made some water kimchi. I hope you like it.
Okay.
You look tired.
You must have stayed up all night looking at those papers for the Chairman.
He may look like he doesn't care, but he's very thorough.
Is Dad coming to our plans today with Chairman Cho?
You know how much your father respects him.
Don't forget to go through the list of the short track skaters from
- the different countries. - Yes.
And don't forget to call Mr. Cho.
Make sure to confirm our lunch plans with your father.
Okay.
I know.
I'll take that medicine as soon as I get to work.
You don't want to miss this!
Well-being kimbap! Bongi kimbap!
Delicious, nutritious rice rolls! Handmade!
Hello.
I added mushrooms to this one.
This is with fermented soybeans.
This is with spiced spinach.
They're good for you, and they go down easily.
It's good. I'll take one.
Thank you.
I'll have soup ready tomorrow, too.
Thank you.
Isn't that Bongi?
You have to try this!
They're nutritious kimbap!
Bongi?
Saewa?
What are you doing?
Oh.
I'm off today,
so I thought I could sell some kimbap in the morning.
I can use this to get feedback, and I can make money on the side.
It's great.
Oh.
I heard what happened.
You seem fine even after your boyfriend left you.
Yeah. Those things happen.
From now on, I'm going to work hard at my craft and make money.
Are you sick?
You don't look well.
You skip breakfast, didn't you?
I got you.
Here. This one's for you. I added spiced spinach and...
No thanks. I don't eat street food.
You work at a hotel. It doesn't look good that you sell
food on the streets.
I put a lot of thought into these.
From now on, I'm going to do whatever it takes to make money.
If you need me to do anything, let me know.
Oh... Okay. Good luck.
You should take some medicine.
Nutritious, well-being kimbap here!
They're great for breakfast!
I made these myself!
Try them!
Look. That's him, Carl Laker, the short track speed skater.
Yes.
I could ask him to come to our show to look for his parents,
since he's a Korean adoptee. Can you arrange that?
Mr. Shin. He's not a Korean adoptee.
What are you looking for? Do you know somebody on the plane?
No. Forget about it.
It's strange to like puzzles at your age.
What's with the harmonica?
There's something written on that.
KJ? Is that your name?
I like it.
Are you out of your mind?
Carl Laker's not the adoptee. His mother is.
She was adopted by American parents when she was young.
I haven't seen you in so long.
Welcome. Come on in.
How dare you mess with her?
Who are you? What do you want?
I'm that woman's son!
Carl! No!
You're not supposed to hit other people.
