[Episode 16]
Director, I don't want to go.
I can't get adopted.
Hyun Woo, think about it.
This is a great chance for you.
What if Sang Woo comes back?
I need to be here just in case he comes back.
We are trying our best to look for Sang Woo.
As soon as we find him, I'll call your adoptive parents.
If you get settled in the US you can bring him there when we find him.
There is no way for you two to survive here without your parents.
Still, I don't want to go.
I want to wait for Sang Woo.
You're giving that to me?
Thank you.
A tadpole swims in the water.
Its hind legs appear.
Its front legs appear, and becomes a frog!
Mr. Lee Hyun Woo.
You came?
Hello, Director.
Thank you for all your help.
You're welcome.
Other people help a lot more than me.
Still, I'm always grateful.
Another volunteer brought extra snacks
would you like to have some?
No, I need to get going.
Don't do that, come this way.
Hold still.
If you don't dry your hair, you'll catch a cold.
We'll eat it all together when we are all done.
- It feels warm. - It feels warm, right?
How pretty...
You all took a bath?
Good job.
Please come in.
What are you doing here?
How long have you been going to Angel's House?
I'm not sure.
I started out volunteering with my friends to sing.
It was before the original director passed away, so maybe about 10 years?
Why did it have to be my orphanage...
I mean, why did you start volunteering at an orphanage?
I keep coming back because the kids remind me of myself.
Why do they remind you of yourself?
I may have a mother, but I never felt like I had one.
And I never had a father.
That's why.
Why do you keep asking me this stuff?
You would never understand, you're not lacking anything.
I look like I don't lack anything?
No?
Oh, stop.
Let me out. Let me out here.
Get home safely, it was good running into you. Bye.
Oh, right... My guitar...
Bye.
What are you doing?
You want to come with me?
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me.
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
you won't be leaving with me.
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
and have a drink or two.
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid
like I love you.
I know, too.
You know what?
I know how the orphanage kids feel, too.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Let me answer you.
I...
I like you.
You asked me if I like you.
I do like you.
I'm not saying you need to like me back.
I have a right to like you.
I'm telling you because I thought you should know, no, I want you to know...
Anyway...
This damn blabbermouth.
Anyway, I'm sorry for liking you.
Goodbye.
Let me go.
I'm so embarrassed. Please let me go.
You know how to be embarrassed?
You like me?
Why?
Like you said, I'm impolite and rude...
And now, I'm broke.
I know, I don't get it, either.
Excuse me.
You make me work like this after I told you I like you?
If you're not going to like me back, you should send me home early.
And if you are going to like me back, you should take me to a nice restaurant.
How can you just ask me to go make you a cucumber sandwich?
You just want to use me as a maid, or something?
Did you slice the cucumbers 1.5 centimeters thick?
And put in three spoonfuls of mayo?
Yes, I did.
Now you're nagging me.
That's how my father used to make it.
What?
He cut up the cucumbers a little thicker than you, and used a bit more mayo.
It's good.
You're getting very close.
My mom died young.
So my dad raised the two of us.
You said you used to have a younger brother, right?
Yeah.
Dad used to make this for us as a snack.
The only cooking he did was making ramen and kimchi stir-fried rice.
But he was really good at making cucumber sandwiches.
Your father...
He didn't deserve to die.
Because of that, I lost my brother.
You lost him?
Yes.
How? Oh my gosh...
And?
That's why I eat this whenever I think about my brother and dad.
I eat it when I miss them, too.
I see...
My head...
Oh my gosh.
You!
What are you doing here, not sleeping?
I told you not to eat anything in the middle of the night.
You must not know how dangerous it is.
That's why you must have eaten until now.
I'll tell you why you shouldn't eat in the evening, so listen.
Melatonin gets secreted when we are sleeping to help us rest.
But if you eat food, it makes the stomach work hard.
The melatonin decreases, and causes insomnia.
You know what insomnia is, right?
Even when you want to sleep, you can't sleep.
You stay up wide awake.
I've never had trouble sleeping at night.
During the night, the parasympathetic nervous system
stores the nutrients in our body as fat.
If you eat late in the evening, it won't be burned up as energy.
It will accumulate in your body, and it will lead to a sudden weight gain
which will lead to the obesity we see here.
Do you understand?
My body didn't become like this suddenly.
- I worked hard to make it this way. - Shut up.
I can't take this.
This is clearly neglect.
How could your old mother do this to your body?
This isn't about whether I acknowledge you as my son or not.
I can't just sit back and not help you.
What are you going to do to me?
- Han Chang Soo. - Yes.
From now on, the battle to lose weight has begun.
From now on, I'll start to fiercely train you.
Happy new year.
Hey, I got fired before the new year even began.
Damn it.
This business card was in his car.
[Lee Hyun Woo]
- Call him. - Okay.
Yes.
Happy new year.
Oh...
Happy new year.
Oh man...
Everything is ready?
- Hello, Mother. - Hi.
- Grandma, you're wearing hanbok. - Yeah, this was expensive.
But I only get to wear it twice a year, so I'm very upset about it.
I see.
- Give it to me then. - No way, this is so expensive.
Hey, are you making rice cake soup?
Yes, Mother. I'm making it.
Is it too bland?
- Mom, I'm here. - Yeah, come in.
Hi, Auntie.
Look at you in that cast...
- Why are you picking on my son? - I'm sorry to worry you.
You came?
You start the new year in somebody else's home?
You're going to fight with her again on New Year's Day?
The two of you fight every time you meet.
Sit down, the ceiling won't cave in.
Hey, Ae Ri is here.
Make sure you cook enough rice cake soup.
Okay, Mother.
She's so excited.
Hey, are you done with the eggs?
I told you to make the eggs, what are you doing?
Hey, what's wrong with you?
- I'm sorry, Mother. - You can't even cook eggs?
Mother, this is pretty hard to make.
Is there anything that's not pretty hard for you?
You don't do anything right. Move, I'll do it.
Mother, should I tell Hee Sook to come up?
She's good at this kind of stuff.
My goodness.
You texted Hee Sook to come up so she can help with the rice cake soup.
But she just ignored your text.
Oh my gosh, how could she ignore your text message?
- Hey. - Yes?
Please stop.
What?
Hee Sook came up early to greet us.
And she went to work out since it's New Year's Day.
What? She went to work out?
What the heck?
Get up.
I really can't run any more.
I told you to get up.
Auntie... I mean, Mom...
I really, really can't run.
When we analyze your height, weight, and body fat
you need two to three hours of exercise each day.
Obesity leads to other illnesses, and it will get you teased.
Is this how you want to live?
Han Chang Soo, you'll become a totally new person in the year 2017!
So get up.
Get up.
Please save me.
Auntie, please save me.
I really feel like I'm going to die.
You call me auntie every time you want some slack.
It's hard for me to get used to you, too.
So you need to lose the weight.
It won't be so hard to run then.
Run!
Speed up.
You think you'll lose weight running like that?
I'll just live with my obesity.
I guess you still have energy left.
If you have energy, speed up.
Run. Run!
Hurry, run!
Corny.
Old-fashioned. What is this supposed to mean?
Nonsense.
Cliche. Revision needed.
Delete this scene. What's this?
"It lacks meaning."
"The actions are so predictable. I can't relate to your characters."
You need to change everything?
He totally ripped this apart.
Then he should write it.
We are home.
Moong Chi, you're five years old now.
You need to be a good boy, right?
Come here. Moong Chi...
What's wrong?
Auntie, they want you to come downstairs.
- You, too, Uncle. - Okay.
Gwi Boon, it's the new year.
Did you have nice dreams?
I didn't have one, but it's so nice to see the whole family gathered here.
Right?
On a day like today, whether you are rich or poor
you need to have a big family.
So we can gather everyone together on a day like today
we went through all that hardship raising them.
You're right.
Big families are the best on holidays.
- Eat. - Thank you.
But why isn't Sung Shik's family here?
Mother, Hee Sook went to exercise.
Maybe Sung Shik went with her.
My head...
My head feels like it's going to burst.
Honey.
My head...
Where am I?
Who brought me here?
This is a luxury hotel.
Wait...
Stop.
What's all this?
I didn't order anything.
Somebody ordered it in the early morning, and left.
What?
You can use the hotel sauna after your breakfast.
Of course, all the bills have already been taken care of.
Then enjoy your time.
Who did this for me?
Who could it be?
Attorney Han Sung Shik seemed very troubled.
He got fired from his TV job that he enjoyed so much, it's understandable.
I did tell the director of Channel T that he will return to the panel soon.
It's no fun if we return what we took from him right away.
There are rules in the game.
Then should I schedule a meeting with Politician Kim Young Tae?
Yes, please do.
Let's put Attorney Han into the politician's realm.
All men dream about having power.
It'll be fun to watch him create havoc in his family trying to run for office.
Yes.
Hi, come over and eat some rice cake soup.
What?
My grandmother invited you.
What will you do?
You're known as the polite man, you need to live up to that name, no?
Hurry, and come. I'll wait for you by the door.
Hey.
Why did you go into Sung Joon's room to talk on the phone?
Why are you so shocked?
It's nothing.
- Our neighbor Song Joong Ki is coming? - Yes.
Song Joong Ki lives in the neighborhood?
Yeah.
Come in.
Grandma, he's here.
You came so quickly. It's nice that you live so close.
- Hello. - Hello, Chief Lee.
Yes...
I was concerned that you would be alone, welcome.
- Go bring the rice cake soup. - Okay.
Thank you for inviting me.
- You are so polite, come on in. - Okay.
It's not much, but it feels like we need to gather and eat rice cake soup together
for the new year to begin.
This is a big deal. I'm so envious.
This is our in-law.
- Hello, nice to meet you. - Welcome, nice to meet you.
And that's our kids' aunt.
- Hello. - Yes, hello.
I'm Jung Eun's mom.
Oh...
Mom.
It's a pleasure to meet you like this.
Yes.
What are you doing? Bring the food.
- Okay. - I'll bring it.
- Come have a seat. - Yes, thank you.
That way.
There it is.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- Come on and eat, Chief Lee. - Okay, thank you.
You eat so well.
Is it good?
Yes, it's very good.
If I had a daughter, I would want you to be my son-in-law.
What's wrong with her? So disgusting.
Hey, who's going to marry her?
Thank you, that was a compliment, right?
Of course.
I like you in every way.
But how old are you?
- Pardon? - How old are you?
Why, you want to marry him?
Mom.
My family talks a lot, right?
But it's better than being alone on a day like today, no?
Why do you like me?
What?
Don't you know that you are at a disadvantage when you like someone?
You'll appear weak.
What are you saying after eating rice cake soup?
Anyway, thank you for inviting me to your family gathering.
I'm just warning you as payment for the rice cake soup.
Don't like me.
That will be best for you.
My throat...
I can't end it like this.
You think I'll back down like this?
After everything I did to get on that panel.
This has to be a conspiracy.
I'll uncover that conspiracy and take back my seat.
The female viewers love me, and you use viewer rating as an excuse?
Damn you.
Attorney Han.
Hello.
You must be busy.
Attorney Kim Jong Wook will be joining the panel.
Oh, my throat...
What did you say?
What does he have that I don't have?
He's nothing great.
He barely passed the bar exam.
And he barely graduated from the judicial training institute.
He couldn't even come near me.
So how can he surpass me, and take over my spot?
You still don't know how the world runs?
Kim Jong Wook has his father. A current top officer in the Blue House.
What else does he need when he has a father like that?
All you need is a parent with power.
You don't need anything else.
But an average life isn't too bad, either.
I heard Announcer Jang Yu Ra already started flirting with Attorney Kim.
What? Yu Ra?
I told you she cares about money and power.
Director!
Director! Director...
Wait, Director!
Let go of me!
Hey, you call yourselves human?
After everything I did for this TV station...
You should be giving me an award!
Jerks!
Damn...
Attorney Han Sung Shik.
That's enough.
If you keep coming here, don't you think you'll appear dirty?
What?
Dirty?
Hey.
Yes.
A true man should be clean and cool.
Why are you acting like a little kid?
Don't you think it's tacky to throw a fit like this because you got fired?
What?
Tacky?
Yes.
You should stop coming here.
Okay?
Hey, Jang Yu Ra!
I'll make you regret this!
Wait and see!
You'll regret this, got it?
Then how does a man seduce a woman?
Are you writing about 1970?
Were you even born in 1970?
- I had to be alive then to know? - What?
Moong Chi, be quiet.
- She's mad. - Yeah, I'm mad.
How could you use a red pen on my script?
"Corny." "Cliche."
"Revise this." "Delete this."
"What does this mean?"
- Why so many negative comments? - You said you want my honest opinion.
I was trying to help you. You asked me to give you honest feedback.
What man would approach a girl by saying, "I fell for you at first sight?"
That was only done in the 1970s.
Why? You want me to ask around?
He's a player, he just hunts for women without loving them.
Exactly.
No men seduce women like that these days.
You know so well.
- You've never dated, right? - What?
I can tell, you've only read about love and experienced romance through books.
Excuse me, I've been a finalist before with my writing.
And I'm waiting to hear back from several different contests.
What's all the noise?
What are you doing?
Are you two fighting for all the neighbors to hear?
If you have something to say, you should talk inside.
Why are you talking out here in the cold?
What?
Go inside and talk.
I'm getting embarrassed.
The neighbors will think there is a family feud.
Go inside.
The dog is barking, and it's cold, I can't even think straight.
Why are you looking around like that?
I've never been inside a woman's room.
Excuse me, this isn't a woman's room. I share this room with my grandmother.
I guess you try to think about everything in a romantic way.
What's wrong with that?
That's how I make a living.
You want some tea?
No.
Then have a seat.
Anyway, she didn't do anything wrong.
Why are you making her face the wall?
Just let her be, why are you touching my stuff?
I gave that to you.
So it's mine now.
She'll watch over you to make sure you don't write any more corny lines.
What?
Okay, fine.
I agree about that part.
Why is it so hard to make you understand?
I understand now.
But don't you think a romantic comedy is supposed to be a little corny?
You can't overdo comedy, either.
And it's not very realistic.
A romantic comedy isn't supposed to be realistic.
Love is supposed to be unrealistic and a little corny.
It can't be corny.
Romantic comedy is the trendiest genre.
Stop getting heated.
If you were at a store, people would mistake you for a tomato.
- I'm not heated. - Yeah, you are.
You get heated so easily.
What did you say?
Are you hitting your teacher?
I can't stand this.
All the holidays in the world should just disappear.
Bam, crash, kaboom!
Kang Hee Sook hasn't shown her face all day today.
I can't move anymore.
Stop faking it, and come in!
- You're going to keep faking it? - I'm not faking it.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Where were you?
Where were you, not helping out at all?
You're going to keep skipping out on family gatherings?
Why? We were exercising.
So your body is the only thing that matters?
My body is already ruined?
Do you think I went there to keep my own body fit?
There's no work to be done here, it's already perfect.
- Then? - Him.
This child.
This child you raised for the last 15 years without any thought.
According to the global obesity standards
as determined by the World Health Organization
he is severely obese.
For your former son who is in a dangerous situation
I made him exercise.
You don't even know.
Mom, please save me.
I'm hungry.
Hey, go over there.
I remember your betrayal all too well.
You, who eats traditional German-imported sausages
and bread made from the milk of cows
that roamed around freely in the meadows of Hokkaido
go over there.
Mother.
Where are you going? Come here.
Get in the bathroom now.
Go take a shower.
Go wash up!
Make sure you wash up well.
What, you feel bad for your former son?
No, I don't feel bad at all.
I have no feelings left for him.
I'm glad he's met a wonderful new mom.
Of course, who am I?
I'll completely change that child for you to see.
You should watch, and repent.
What?
What's wrong with you?
Mother, is that rice cake?
Can I have just a little bit?
I love rice cake soup.
Who told you to come out? Get back in there.
Who just called me mother?
You should call me Aunt now.
Mother.
Our relationship has already ended.
Have a good life with your new mother.
I'll cook this with beef for my son who ranks first in the entire school.
Are you taunting us?
- Yeah, the two of you. - What...
In your face.
- Mother! - Hye Joo!
What the heck? Get inside.
Get inside now!
Hurry up.
You came?
Ji Hoon, you were studying?
Yes, I wasted too much time in the morning eating rice cake soup.
I should study now.
Ji Hoon, I'm so proud of you.
This is nothing.
What do you want to eat? You want some fruit?
No, I don't eat anything when I'm studying.
If all the blood rushes to the stomach, my brain feels dull.
Oh, I see.
Did you wash up?
Yes, I washed well.
You like the pajamas?
I couldn't focus on the design because there weren't too many large sizes.
It's fine.
You saw your former mother laughing at you before, right?
Yes, I saw.
She told you that you are no longer her son.
Yes, I heard that, too.
Forget the past.
Yes, I will do that.
And don't put me to shame.
No, I won't put you to shame.
This is a bean from the high elevations of the Andes in South America.
It's the mother of all grains.
One bean is all you need.
- Eat it. - Okay.
- Where is Mother? - She goes to sleep at 8:00 p.m.
That's right...
The store opening is right around the corner.
Feels like we just started the renovation.
This is all thanks to you and Mom.
- I'm sorry. - You don't need to apologize.
You do feel sorry?
Honey.
Do well, so you can pay back the money we lent you quickly.
Okay, I'll do that.
What's wrong with you?
- When is the leg cast coming off? - Tomorrow.
Yeah?
- You want me to take you tomorrow? - No, I can go by myself.
But where is Sung Shik? I haven't seen him all day.
He should come up and help out his brother.
Yeah, I haven't seen him all day.
You didn't see Sung Shik?
No.
Even if I work my butt off, it's all useless.
You, too.
You'll just shine for a short term, and then be gone.
You're run by gas, right?
Pretty soon
a LED street lamp with connections will replace you.
There is no such thing as rags to riches.
I feel so bad for you.
Why can't we go from rags to riches?
Why can't we get ahead?
- Damn. - Attorney Han Sung Shik.
You are drinking a lot these days.
Who is this?
Chief Lee.
Yes, it's me, Hyun Woo.
Goodness, my polite and kind neighbor.
You're my nice neighbor that let me borrow your expensive car.
Kisses.
You are pretty drunk.
Let's go home. I'll take you in.
You are so lucky.
I heard your uncle is rich.
You must not have any worries then.
You must be so happy, right?
You have good parents, too.
It's all thanks to them that you became a lawyer.
I didn't become a lawyer because of them.
I became a lawyer because I studied hard.
Your parents would be upset if they hear that.
Let's go in. We are here.
I really want to die.
This damn Kim Jong Wook.
Oh my goodness, what happened to him?
- Oh my goodness... - What's wrong with him?
Sung Shik, where did you drink so much?
I'm sorry to come by so late.
What happened to him? Did you drink with him?
No, he was standing outside in the cold.
You didn't show your face the whole all New Year's Day.
How can you come home all drunk like this?
You should have just gone home, why did you come here?
- Mom! - Oh my gosh.
Why are you yelling?
Dad!
Yeah, what?
What's wrong with our family?
- What? - What are you saying?
Why couldn't you be more successful, Dad?
- Sung Shik. - Let go of me, Punk!
Goodness, what's gotten into you?
Why did you raise me in a family with no money, influence, or style?
- Come here. - Let go of me!
That's enough! What are you doing?
Who am I?
I studied law at Seoul University and passed the bar in one shot.
Am I not the son that brought you so much joy?
But what have the two of you done for me?
Honey, what's wrong with him? What is he saying?
Sung Shik, stop. Let's go downstairs.
Go downstairs now.
Dad, why are you so incapable?
And why is our family so pathetic?
Why couldn't you support me more?
Why, Father?
Why do we have to live like this?
Get him out of here.
- Sung Shik, let's go. - Let go of me.
Mother! Father!
I feel so indignant today.
This is so unfair!
Dad may have been an alcoholic
who could barely afford to rent an unheated room.
He may have led a harrowing life surviving on each day's pay
but I never resented him.
Even when everyone in the village pointed their fingers at him
and stepped on him, I didn't resent him.
I resented the people who pushed my innocent father over the edge.
The only time I resented my father was when he abandoned me and my brother.
And left this world.
People these days resent their parents and reject them.
When they are in trouble
the parents are the only ones that won't let go of their hands.
But they don't realize that.
What's going on?
You didn't come to the cafe today.
Here.
I said I would provide a daily cucumber sandwich for the building owner.
There are two.
My uncle isn't home.
That's not for your uncle.
It's for your brother.
I'm sure your brother misses your dad's sandwiches, too.
So from now on, I'll make two.
Whether it's today or tomorrow
you'll always have it ready for when he returns.
My grandma said that in the old days, when a child was away from home
the mother would leave out a bowl of rice at each meal.
They believed their child would return home soon then.
And so they wouldn't starve away from home.
I hope you find your brother soon.
Bye.
Oh, and...
This.
What is that?
Headquarters gave me these movie tickets for the grand opening.
It's for tonight, let's go together.
You can take care of work, and come when you are all done.
I'll wait for you with popcorn. I really wanted to see this movie.
I'm busy today.
That's why I said you can come after you finish all your work.
Bye then.
What are you doing, Chang Soo?
Where did he go?
Strange, I saw it in here just this morning.
Are you looking for something?
I don't see the stir-fried squid and the sauteed beans.
That's the only side dish we have.
I threw them out when I was cleaning out the refrigerator.
You threw them out?
- Why? - They looked old.
The watery fermented soybean paste, the hardened red pepper paste
the stale dried layer, and the rotten vegetables...
I threw them all out.
They may look bad, but they are still all edible.
No, if you eat those, you'll get sick.
Ah In is still young, so she's weak to viruses.
You can't eat food that is even a little bit old or rotten.
I guess...
What should we eat then?
Han Chang Soo, I know you are in here.
Hey, why are you looking for your son at my house?
Chang Soo's not here?
Why are you looking for your son here after losing him?
Please take good care of your son.
Fine then.
I really can't stand her.
Then should we eat rice smothered in red pepper paste?
We can put in sesame oil and eggs, sounds good.
Where did Chang Soo go?
You're more than 120 kilograms because you eat like that.
Lose some weight.
Hey, I'm hungry, so don't talk to me.
If you are going to be fat like a pig, you should at least get good grades.
If you're not going to get good grades, be thin and handsome.
Look at you.
Eat a lot, and gain a lot of weight.
What did you say?
You!
Han Chang Soo!
Mother.
You! What's your problem?
What's your name? Which class?
Why are you bugging him when he didn't do anything?
Are you thugs?
You want a piece of me?
Hey, let's go.
Who's your homeroom teacher?
I'll go to school tomorrow, and teach you a lesson!
You, follow me.
Give me all the money you have.
I'm sorry, I couldn't get by after eating just one bean.
You won't get any more allowance money.
Until you lose weight, you'll have no money.
- Mom! - Shut up.
Sit over there.
Out of all human needs...
You only care about eating?
What other needs are there?
A need to be accepted. A need to be loved.
Pride. Self esteem.
None of that?
I'm always hungry, so I haven't thought about those...
You need self-control.
Even if you are hungry and it's hard, have some self control.
That's the only way you can grow.
And why do you keep trying to hit the kids?
They started it.
- You saw. - Still...
Don't you know the one who uses violence first always loses?
They keep teasing me.
Why do you get sucked into their little game?
Still, when I get angry, my fist comes out.
- I'm sorry. - No, this isn't your fault.
This is due to a complete lack of humanity.
What? A lack of what?
Humanity.
Humans are different from other animals because we can think deeply
and express ourselves with words.
After the study of humanities became popular in the US in 1995
instead of resorting to violence, troubled kids
began to express their emotions.
Books over food.
Arts over cursing.
Studying philosophy over violence.
The kids started to change.
What? Why did they change?
I've made up my mind. You'll start studying Shakespeare.
What? Shakespeare?
Who is he?
What did he do?
Really? Sung Shik really said those things?
Yes, I'm so upset.
Where did Hyung Seob go?
He must be upset, he left to go hiking early in the morning.
Of course, he's upset.
After everything he did to raise the four of them...
He sent the four kids all to college with his small salary.
He married them all off. How can he say that to his father?
This damn kid... Is he home?
No, he left early this morning.
Hey, lock up the doors, so he can't get in.
He can't come in if we lock the doors?
We should never have been so good to our kids.
We fed him, clothed him, and educated him his whole life
and he does this.
We even gave him the downstairs unit, but he's still so unhappy with us.
Why are you crying?
I'm so upset, Mother.
This damn kid.
I'll finish him off when he comes in.
To be honest, I like your script.
It's got a great story, and you have vivid characters.
It feels alive.
But they all seem like they need to return home by midnight, like Cinderella.
What do you mean?
Free yourself a little more. Don't lock yourself up.
Your writing is just like you.
Why are you so unsure of love?
You said you are confident you can love well in your writing.
Right.
As I said, you need to change the title.
As you revise the script one by one, you'll think of a good title.
Okay.
Right, I have a book that will help you out.
Who's here at this hour?
I don't know. Who is it?
My goodness, who are you?
Hello, my name is Bang Mi Joo.
Who's this?
You're Sung Joon's girlfriend that came the other day.
- What? - Have you been well, Grandmother?
Of course, I've been well. Come on in.
You said you would come, and you really came.
Say hello, she's Sung Joon's mother.
Hello, Mother.
Hi, welcome.
- Here. - Thank you.
Hey, where is Sung Joon?
He went to the attic room saying he has something to do with Dong Hee.
Tell him to come down.
What is he doing in the attic room with her when his girlfriend is here?
Come on in.
Okay.
Sit over here.
- Did you say your name is Mi Joo? - Yes, Grandmother.
You are so pretty.
Thank you.
What are you doing? Go tell Sung Joon to come down.
Okay.
Mother, we are here.
Sung Joon, I'm here.
Oh, hi.
What are you doing with Dong Hee?
You didn't know your girlfriend was coming?
No, Grandmother. I wanted to meet his parents.
I came without telling him to wish them a happy new year.
Ms. Oh Dong Hee, you've been well?
Oh, yes...
You know her?
Of course, she's an employee at our company.
Goodness, really?
I'll go upstairs.
Then.
- You are a head director? - Yes, I am.
Her father is the chairman.
- Hey. - Mother.
I've gotten a lot of help from Sung Joon since I was a rookie.
So he's definitely the dominant one in our relationship.
Mi Joo.
Women always find dominant men attractive.
Do you have any siblings?
I'm an only child. I grew up lonely without siblings.
I was jealous of Sung Joon for having two brothers and sisters.
I see, how long have you been dating?
We've known each other for five years.
And it's been three years since we've liked each other.
It's perfect time to get married.
Grandmother.
My father is keeping an eye on him as an heir.
Oh my goodness.
Still, don't steal Sung Joon away from us.
Of course, not. I'll come out from our house.
Just get married right. Now is the perfect time.
It's been long since his older brothers got married.
The time is here.
Jung Ae, how long has it been since we welcomed a new family member?
It's been 16 years since Chang Soo and Ji Hoon are 15 years old.
Mother, she just came to say hello today.
- Don't bring up marriage already. - Why not?
I saw your father-in-law for the first time at our wedding.
But we still had a great marriage.
Really? Oh my goodness.
Grandma and Mother, Mi Joo has to go home now.
I'm sorry she came so suddenly.
- Why? - I'm sorry.
What are you doing? You should go now.
Actually, I'm busy today. I'll come back another day.
Okay, see you again then.
Let's eat dinner together then.
Sung Joon's dad isn't home today, and a lot of the family members are gone.
Okay, Grandmother. Mother, I'll see you next time.
Okay, get home safely.
I wish you could stay longer.
I'll take her home.
Okay.
Goodness...
What are you doing?
Go inside.
Sung Joon!
I'm sorry, but can't you try to understand me?
I still like you so much, what can I do?
That's why I went over there.
I knew I would look pathetic, but I still went there.
I told you already.
I don't love you.
No, you can love me.
All you need to do is try.
- Mi Joo. - I can't give up on you.
Never.
Sung Joon.
Love isn't something you can do by trying.
The past five years I spent with you...
At times, I relied on you and felt comfortable with you as a friend.
But while I was meeting you, I always felt a burden.
I always felt an uneasiness that you didn't belong to me.
I was always confused by those feelings.
I'm sorry that we came all the way here because of that confusion.
I sincerely apologize.
But I can't love you because I feel bad.
I can't marry you because I feel bad.
I would be lying to myself and it's not good for you...

[Father, I'll Take Care of You]
How did you become so smart all of a sudden?
We are studying these days. Let's go, Chang Soo!
Okay!
You think Sung Joon's mother will come when he gets married?
I wish we could lean on our parents when times are hard.
How can you say that to our father when he devoted his whole life for us?
Be careful, you can't lose focus.
Do you want to date me?
