What did you just say?
Where is she sending him?
I'll leave right now, so do not let them get away.
No, stop them.
That kid cannot get on the aeroplane.
What happened? Where's the kid?
What took you so long? Ms Hong just left with him.
What?
- Step aside. - It's already too late.
Do you think that I won't be able to find him...
- if you send him away like this? - You won't find him.
I sent him to a place where you absolutely can't find him.
I will not let you take him. Never.
Mr Cha, if we get in the car now and follow them,
- we'll be able to catch him. - Forget it.
Pardon me? If we leave now...
I will not chase him.
Well, why wouldn't he chase him?
By the way,
why does he keep talking rudely to me even though I'm older?
Seung Joon.
Mum won't cry any more.
Until the day we meet again,
I'll stay strong and brave.
Although we'll miss each other,
let's hang in there.
Let's hang in there for just a little longer.
Did you say the States?
Yes. On that note, I have a favour to ask you.
In Kyung must be extremely distressed at the moment.
Take good care of her, please.
Of course. Don't worry.
By the way, why are you going to the States all of a sudden?
Something came up. I'll tell you about it later.
I'll trust you, then.
All right. Have a safe trip.
Goodness.
(Queen Salon)
Why are you staring at me like that?
Nothing. I feel relieved and worried at the same time.
Pardon me?
Ms Hong actually called me from the airport earlier...
and asked me to take good care of you.
I ran here right away wondering if something happened.
I'm relieved because you don't seem too distressed,
but I'm still worried for some reason.
Is something going on?
No.
Nothing is going on.
Ms Hong got worried for no reason.
Right. She probably felt uneasy about leaving you alone...
and going away on a trip.
Oh, right. I heard that Seung Joon...
went back to the countryside to stay with Mr Heo's family.
Yes.
I know that you care about him a lot as an aunt. You must be sad.
I also miss him already because I've gotten close to him.
You must miss him a lot.
We'll both live happily...
and meet again.
I'll have to be patient until that day.
Let's go out. Eating something delicious will cheer you up.
Gosh.
The aeroplane must have taken off by now.
I thought you'd want to snatch that kid so that he can't leave.
I figured it might be better that he's not in Korea.
What if she brings him back secretly?
Then I'll have to take him from her.
And we'll send him to a place where In Kyung will not be able to find.
Goodness. She already got a big head thinking that she's a star now...
after being in only two films. How will you take him from her?
In Kyung.
I'll be sure to kick her out of the film industry.
I'll also make sure to send that kid away.
Here. It's for you.
What?
What are these?
Can't you tell? They're pencils.
Right. I can see that.
Why are you giving me so many pencils?
I can't even use this to fill my eyebrows.
Oh, do you want me to get them exchanged with rice taffies?
You said you'd learn the alphabet to be able to read the letter.
Oh, right. I did say that.
Hold on. Are you saying that you're going to make me study?
Yes. 30 minutes every day.
Come to my room after work. I'll tutor you.
Hang on a second. I'm not mentally prepared yet...
Don't worry. I'll help you mentally prepare yourself, as well.
From today, I'm your teacher. Got it?
If you don't come, I'll raid your room.
What?
All right. Let's go to work, Choon Ja.
Gosh, wait.
Hey.
Can we postpone it?
I'm really busy these days.
What are you talking about? Timing is important even for studying.
- Let's just get it done. - Goodness.
Why on earth did you quit school, then?
Are you really going to be like this?
Mr Choi, it's good to see you again.
Mr Choi, did you know?
Choon Ja is actually illiterate...
Gosh.
Have a great day, Mr Choi.
(Project Proposal for Film "Thorns")
As you know, this film is about a woman's turbulent, vengeful journey.
How the main character Eun Hyang's...
two different personas get played out will be the key.
But there are too many dangerous scenes that involve her...
which are quite unnecessary.
We should either use a stand-in or revise the script.
It's about revenge, you know.
We have to show the character suffering a lot...
in order to justify her urge for revenge.
Also,
I'd like this film to be as realistic as possible,
so I don't want to use any stand-in actors.
For all of these scenes?
Mr Cha, don't you think that's too much?
Do you want to end up holding a funeral or what?
What if it leads to an accident?
Accident?
We'll just have to be careful.
What do you think, Ms Kang?
I will do it...
for the success of the film.
Please don't worry.
The notion of revenge you want to explore through this film.
I'll study it and make sure to portray it well.
Don't you think you're being too rude to your business partner?
Cut to the chase. I'm not in the mood to be chatting away with you.
Thanks to you,
I can stay as the head of Yidojeonyoung's Korean branch.
Are you expecting me to congratulate you?
Please leave if you have nothing else to say.
One more thing. Because of the success of "Sad Dream",
the head office in Hong Kong wants to invest in "Thorns".
I'll reject that offer.
I don't want to have anything to do with you any more.
- Are we good now? - I'm not sure.
It looks like your father thinks differently.
Persuading him won't be easy...
because our offer is quite attractive.
It won't be easy to reject our offer.
What?
(Baekdu Group)
I told them that I'll consider their proposal positively.
The head office in Hong Kong is willing to invest a large sum,
and we have nothing to lose if we think about distribution in Asia.
That is true in the short run,
but they might use the investment to make unreasonable requests.
Even last time, they came up with absurd terms and conditions...
So?
Are you saying that we should reject the offer?
Yes, Sir.
It's hard to find domestic investors due to the industry slump.
Do you really want to say no to the investment offer from Hong Kong?
Mr Cha, I'm pretty sure I've told you that I have...
full authority over anything related to investment.
Just accept the investment offer.
When you run a business, you can't always be choosy about investors.
- Sir. - Negotiate the contract terms.
Being able to do so will prove your competency.
As you said, Chairman Nam has accepted the offer...
made by the head office.
Jung Ho must be in a difficult position now.
Let me tell you this again.
I don't want to ruin my film just so that I can take down In Kyung.
I'm fully aware of where you stand.
I witnessed it while shooting "Sad Dream".
You covered up the scandal for her.
I had no choice then.
Let me ask you one thing.
My goal is destroying In Kyung and Jung Ho.
Are you in this with me?
Regardless of what we're conspiring,
we can only work together when we know for certain...
- that we want the same thing. - If it wasn't the case,
I wouldn't have joined hands with you to begin with.
(Script, "Thorns")
Goodness.
Mr Nam.
When did you get here?
The script just came out. Don't you think you're working way too hard?
You're not...
unhappy that I'm working too hard, are you?
I am.
You have to allow yourself some time to catch your breath.
Let's head out.
You want to go out?
Where?
Gosh.
I guess winter is really here now.
It's chilly.
I know, right? The wind is very cold.
If you don't want to catch a cold,
you'll need to bundle up with your scarf first.
It's okay. I'll do it myself.
No, I'll do it for you.
I have to take care of my actress' throat, you know.
That's Jung Ho. I can't believe he's doing that for her.
You're still here?
It's done.
I think it looks pretty good. What do you think?
I think it looks pretty good.
Let's go. Now that you're all bundled up,
- we should go get some fresh air. - Okay.
Mr Cha.
At this rate, In Kyung might become a member of your family soon.
Stop talking nonsense.
You saw how they were looking at each other.
There were literally sparks in their eyes.
It'd not be strange even if he marries her.
That will never happen.
I also cannot let that happen.
Why did you bring me to this market?
Oh, there's a place I wanted to take Seung Joon to,
but he's gone now.
I thought I should take you instead.
You wanted to take Seung Joon there?
Where is it?
Oh, there it is.
Gosh.
Oh, my.
It looks like you wanted to do this more than Seung Joon.
To be honest, yes.
I've always wanted to try it as a kid, but I never got to do it.
You've never done it before?
I told you. I had such a boring childhood.
Then let's make your wish come true today.
If you keep this shape intact, you can get another one for free.
Here.
Look who's here.
What on earth are they doing?
I did it!
- What do you think? - Oh, my.
You must've done it a lot as a kid.
This star shape is an entry level.
Will yours ever become a star?
I'm not sure. I should just eat this one.
No, you can't. You have to turn it into a star before eating it.
My gosh!
Impressive.
Oh, my.
They were out on a date?
You mean In Kyung and Jung Ho?
Yes, exactly.
Anyone would be able to tell they're lovers at a glance.
They're head over heels for each other.
"Isn't this candy so sweet?"
They chuckled together and looked at each other in such a loving way.
If they end up getting married...
That will be absolutely ridiculous.
That will not happen.
Such nonsense will not happen.
We should rethink the plan for you to act without a stand-in.
I really think it'll be way too dangerous.
I learned how to do basic action scenes.
I'm quite nimble, so I'm confident that I'll be good.
For the success of the film and for my success...
I can do anything.
I...
have to get to the top.
You will. I know that you will get to the top.
But...
I actually...
don't know how I feel...
about letting you work with Min Woo again.
I'm not sure if it's the right thing.
You know that I'm going to do it even if you try to stop me.
Yes, I know.
You're stubborn, and I can't win.
You literally declared it at the press conference.
Don't worry too much. I'll be okay.
The problem is...
the fact that I won't be okay.
My heart will shrivel up...
as I'm watching you by your side.
Do you know how hard it is?
Oh, look.
I didn't expect to see a pebble tower at a place like this.
I heard that people call this path the "Wish Way".
It must be true.
The "Wish Way"?
If you have a wish, you should put a pebble on it, too.
Shall I?
Just a second.
I heard that if the pebble falls off,
your wish will never come true.
- Really? - So...
come up with your wish thoughtfully and be careful with it.
What did you wish for?
I'll tell you when it comes true.
What? Goodness.
This path...
I really like it here.
Isn't it nice?
Taking a walk here relaxes me whenever I have a lot on my mind.
If you like this path,
shall we own it?
- I beg your pardon? - It's no big deal. Let's do it.
From now on, it's not called the "Wish Way".
It'll be Jung Ho and In Kyung's Way.
Let's just call it "Our Way". What do you think?
"Our Way"?
Oh, no. In Kyung, are you cold?
It's a bit chilly.
I guess we walked for too long. I'm sorry.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Anyone would be able to tell they're lovers at a glance.
They're head over heels for each other.
At this rate, In Kyung might become a member of your family soon.
Hello?
I want to ask you just in case.
- What do you want to know now? - In Kyung.
You're not actually going to date Jung Ho, right?
Did you call to ask me that?
Just answer me.
Why do you keep hovering around Jung Ho?
It's my personal life, which is none of your business.
I'm only asking because it keeps bothering me.
This is a warning.
You better not let yourself have feelings for him.
You know very well that you shouldn't, right?
No, I don't.
Hello?
In Kyung.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
Do I really have to learn the alphabet from Han Soo?
Gosh, it's so cold.
Oh, it looks like Han Soo is home.
He must be hungry. I should cook some sweet potatoes for him.
My gosh, he must be exhausted. He's going to bed already.
All right, then. Sleep is the best remedy.
You're one minute late.
From now on, you'll have to give me a kiss if you're late.
You keep teasing me like this.
You better watch out or you'll get in trouble.
I'm your teacher. How can you hit your teacher?
Goodness, you didn't even use to take any textbooks to school.
How can you expect me to treat you like a teacher?
I can certainly teach you the alphabet, though.
I need to know which level you're at. Let's do a dictation test.
All right.
Dictation test? What is that?
Well... Just write down the words I say.
I'll start with easy ones.
All right.
Butterfly.
Butterfly?
Gosh... What is all this?
Do you not know anything?
Not a single letter of the alphabet?
I've been fine until this day without knowing the alphabet.
Then what about your name?
You can't even write your name?
Well, I never really have to write my name for anything.
That's right. I don't even know how to write my own name...
because I'm so stupid. Are we good now?
Hey, no. Wait.
You can learn.
You're smart, so you'll pick it up quickly.
I'm smart?
That's right. I'm very smart, of course.
Right, of course.
What if she caught a cold?
Ms Hong isn't even around.
In Kyung.
Ms Hong.
Did you arrive safely?
What about Seung Joon? How is he doing?
Did he not get sick? Is he all right?
Calm down already. We arrived safely,
and Seung Joon is doing very well. Don't worry.
Can I talk to him?
I want to talk to Seung Joon.
Hold on.
Seung Joon, your mum is on the phone. Say "Mum".
Mum!
Yes, Seung Joon. It's me, Mum.
- Mum! - Mum is here, Seung Joon.
Mum, Mum!
Where are you going this late? I have an urgent matter to discuss.
Let's talk tomorrow.
I said it's urgent. Did you not hear me?
It's about the contract. Didn't your father tell you?
Then I'll call you in a bit.
Where is he going so urgently at this late hour?
Mum!
Yes, Seung Joon.
I'll be sure to call you often.
Seung Joon.
I love you a lot.
(Queen Salon)
Jung Ho.
You put aside work to come here?
You came here to see In Kyung at this late hour?
Are they...
No way.
I'll be sure to teach these two a serious lesson.
In Kyung, it's me. I'm coming in.
Mr Nam.
You don't need to get up.
My goodness, I knew it.
You seem to have a fever.
You should go see a doctor.
No, I'm okay. I'm not that sick.
I guess we were out in the cold for too long earlier today.
It's all my fault.
No, it's not.
That path...
I really liked it there.
It's "Our Way". Of course you have to like it.
Oh, I picked up some medicine just in case.
I guess my hunch was right. You should...
take this and lie down. I'll bring you some water.
Mr Nam.
What is it? Are you feeling too ill?
Thank you.
Then just get better soon.
Honey, are things very busy at work these days?
We'll start shooting a new film soon, so there's a lot to prepare.
But I'm not swamped. Why do you ask?
The curfew hours have started, but Jung Ho isn't home yet.
Jung Ho isn't home?
By any chance... Is he with In Kyung?
What's wrong?
Nothing. Don't mind me.
Seung Joon...
Seung Joon.
You're worried about Seung Joon even when you're this sick?
Gosh, you love your nephew so much.
Don't worry.
He's strong like you, so I'm sure he'll be fine.
(Queen Salon)
Did he stay up all night here?
For me?
Gosh, In Kyung.
You woke up. How are you feeling?
I'm okay now...
Oh, yes. Your temperature has gone down.
Gosh, I was worried because you were sick all night.
I'm so relieved.
I can't believe you stayed here all night.
You must be exhausted.
You're feeling better because I took care of you, so it's all good.
Mr Nam.
If I have to watch you being sick,
I'd much rather deal with being tired myself.
(Queen Salon)
