What in the world are you doing here?
You're not...
the assistant from the agency are you?
The rich girl is now my maid?
This is amusing.
You shouldn't leave
before your client's finished talking.
Does it amuse you to see me working as a maid?
That's right.
You've succeeded and this is what I've become.
Did you want to show off your success?
So much so that you deliberately asked for me?
Why would you think I'd want to show off my success
by deliberately asking for you?
Can you think I still love you?
What kind of maid doesn't even know how to fry eggs?
That was a long time ago.
I've learned a lot since then.
Yes, you had a lot to learn.
I guess you were blessed to find success like this.
My life took a turn for the better
since a certain woman dumped me.
I guess congratulations are in order.
Thanks.
Give me some water.
Your new maid will start tomorrow,
since this is uncomfortable.
I never said that.
You're the one who's uncomfortable.
No, I'm not...
since I never feel insecure in front of anyone.
You showed me 10 years ago
how cowardly it is to feel that way.
Besides, this job pays me well.
You seem to have changed a lot.
Yes, I have.
No, I had to change.
So you're not the only one who's changed.
I haven't changed all that much,
except that I've made some money.
Hi, Mi-ran.
I just got home.
When should I go?
It doesn't matter as long as you like it.
Okay.
I never imagined that she and you were friends.
When are you going to tell her?
We can't keep it a secret from her.
Don't worry.
I'll tell her when I get a chance.
I have something to tell you.
Sit down.
I won't beat around the bush.
I saw you working at my friend's birthday party.
So?
So, I deliberately asked for you, to help you.
How are you going to help me?
Are you thinking of giving me all your money?
I don't know why, but you seem to resent me.
Stop flattering yourself.
I don't resent you because I've forgotten about you.
That's disappointing.
I've thought about you from time to time.
I once resented and hated you because you did leave me.
But, I sincerely wanted you to live well.
Seeing you this way doesn't make me feel good.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
Then I can't continue to work for you anymore.
You'll be in pain to see me working as your maid.
You're still immature.
I won't force you to accept my help.
It's all right with me
if you want to continue working for me.
All right.
It's just work, isn't it, Mr. Jang Sae-hoon?
Of course.
What happened was in the past.
Sure.
I'm your maid and you're my client.
I'll try to be a good maid for you.
I'll be leaving now if you have no further orders.
Why are you home so late?
I had a lot of work to do.
Where's Young-eun?
She has a shoot so she won't be home until morning.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling sick?
No, I'm just tired.
Then go in and rest.
Good night.
Hello?
What is it?
I have something to tell you.
I was going to tell you in person,
but I've been so busy at work.
Ji-eun...
Never mind.
I think I should tell you in person.
Producer Nam, you have to look at this.
Hold on!
Sorry. I'll call you again.
I want to give you something,
but this is all I have to give you.
They say you'll always meet the one you love again,
if you hold on to something that belongs to that person.
You can hold on to mine.
I won't force you to accept my help.
It's all right with me
if you want to continue working for me.
Sit down.
But...
Just sit down!
Yeo-jin, what is courtship?
It's like being on a swing.
You've been on a swing, haven't you?
Yes.
When you're on a swing, it goes up and down, up and down.
Do you think it'd be fun if the swing only went up
and never came down.
Of course it wouldn't be fun.
That's why you have to know when to pull and let go!
Courtship needs a little bit of that as well.
You're always saying yes to Bok-ja, aren't you?
Yes.
That's why she doesn't find you interesting!
Plus you get ignored when you're always nice!
She ignores you, doesn't she?
Yes.
That's your first problem.
You have to change your strategy!
If you only give all the time, the receiver
takes it for granted and never appreciates it!
So play hard to get?
Yes! A person who's always willing isn't attractive!
Understand?
Yes.
Ho-jin,
did you want to talk to me?
No, not to you, but I had to talk to Yeo-jin.
That's your first lesson for today.
Why are you sitting in there?
Get up.
Would you help me?
Our baby might come out clucking like a chicken
because you're eating so many eggs.
Then so be it.
My husband makes the best fried eggs in the world.
You've never broken the yolk.
I always end up breaking it when I make them.
I know.
I'll do it.
That's all right, it's my job.
The apron suits you nicely.
I'm touched.
You remembered that I'm left handed.
Isn't this ironic?
You never made breakfast for me while we were married,
and now that we're divorced, you're making me breakfast.
It looks good.
Why don't you join me?
It's okay.
Being here with you reminds me of the time
when we were married.
There's one thing that hasn't changed.
It's that we're talking over breakfast.
I'm sorry.
I should've returned it sooner.
It came with my other things...
It's surprising that you held on to this for so long.
I thought you threw it out.
I knew what it meant to you,
since it was the only thing you had of your father.
If you'd thought that way 10 years ago,
I wonder what would've happened to us.
Think about that later.
You shouldn't feel
that you were the only one who got hurt.
I've lost a great deal because of you.
You can go home when you're done.
You don't have to stay to make up your hours.
Hello?
Are you on your way to work?
Why didn't you answer the phone last night?
I turned in early.
I see.
About lunch today...
Come around noon.
I'm getting another call.
Okay.
I don't think we can make a deal
because our terms are too much for them.
But we want to work with them
to make a profit, not to take losses.
They'll take our offer.
Just go over the contract before the next meeting.
Sure.
You want to go for the homerun, is that it?
Looks good.
I have high expectations.
Let's go. Mi-ran's waiting.
You've really fallen for that woman.
I wonder how long you'll last this time.
Until I die.
No, until even after I die.
I'll make her my woman.
So we'll be hearing wedding bells soon?
No, right now I'm just chasing after her.
Why is she rejecting a man like you?
That's why I like her.
A woman who chases after a guy like me has no brain.
Plus, men don't like women who are clingy.
Isn't that right, President Jang?
None for me.
She's allergic to oranges.
So I've begun to dislike them myself.
I'm really curious to see her.
The womanizer is giddy with love like a teenage boy.
Is she pretty?
Of course she's pretty.
She's prettier than you in every way.
Do you want to have dinner together this Sunday?
Woman are better judges than men.
I'll see if she's suitable for you.
You don't have any plans this Sunday, do you?
I can't wait to meet her.
She's worth the wait.
Hey!
Give it to me!
Let me see.
But I don't like your number.
44.
It's not a good number.
4 is the number of death.
Are you going to keep saying such discouraging things?
I like my number.
It's not the number of death, but the number of killing!
It does seem like your company has gone all out for you.
I don't like that you're working for someone else.
If you tell my dad,
he'll pay off your company loans in America.
We said we wouldn't talk about that.
But CEO Seo took too many of your company's shares
in exchange for paying off your loans.
I'll handle that, so don't worry.
You should get back to work.
I should go.
Are you going home?
Yes.
I'm thinking of inviting Ji-eun to the house.
Remember the friend I ran into at the department store?
Hello?
Mi-ran?
What is it?
I called because I wanted to see you.
Where are you?
Can we meet?
Well...
What work?
You work?
Then what about tomorrow?
I have a lot to talk to you about.
You do?
It's nice to get off work early!
What do you feel like doing?
Should we go see a movie?
You always say yes to Bok-ja, don't you?
No.
Then want to go for a drink?
A person who's always willing isn't attractive!
What drink?
You should just go home.
Are you playing hard to get?
Ho-jin told you to play hard to get, didn't he?
I was the one who told him to do that to get girls!
Wait for me.
Hello?
I see.
Okay.
Mi-ran.
I want to go home early and rest.
Okay.
Great timing, huh?
Why don't you get in?
I'M GOING HOME AT 8:00.
WARM UP THE SOUP IN THE MICROWAVE.
Live with me.
I'll let you live comfortably without ever having to work.
It doesn't bother me that you're a maid.
A woman that takes care of the house
is good at everything she does.
The only thing that bothers me
is that your work is probably hard on you.
Don't you know...
I'm strong?
Honestly, I don't like the fact
that you're working for Mr. Jang.
It's because even to a man, he's a very cool guy.
You asked me why I don't think about getting out of misery.
I don't want to get out of it.
It's because I think there's not much hope
even after I get out of it.
Couldn't you be my hope?
Why aren't you answering me?
Well...
I hate that word, it's indecisive.
Jung-min, I...
I like that we sometimes meet for dinner, come out
here to talk, and go to the horse race and win money...
I just want us to be friends.
Couldn't we do that?
No.
All right, but I can be pretty persistent!
It's been a long time.
You remember me, don't you?
We've decided to be friends.
I'm trying to be more than that.
You've got the wrong girl.
I have to go inside.
See you again.
You should go home.
She's so different from you.
You're off this Sunday, right?
Don't make any plans under any circumstances, okay?
You have to spend it with me,
and I don't want to hear any excuses.
What's your relationship with him?
We're just friends.
You're just friends? Are you sure?
Why can't you answer me?
I met him first, so don't get any ideas.
What ideas?
Why don't you be honest for a change?
You like him too.
You do know you're no match for him, don't you?
You've taken away everything from me.
You took Mom and Dad's love from me,
and you got to study in New York too.
I won't let you take any more. No, I can't let you take anything!
Ma'am, will you give me a cup of coffee?
Give me a minute.
Was that dress made just to cover certain parts of your body?
Shouldn't you dress decent now that you married my father?
You're way out of line!
I'm your father's wife!
I'm married to your father!
I know already.
But the name Kang Ji-sun isn't in our family registry.
How dare you treat me this way!
You didn't marry him to have me treat you well.
I can't help it if you think I married your father for money.
I can't make you believe me.
Stop bothering my dad about the family registry.
You were nagging him about it just now.
What are you going to do if he collapses from high blood pressure?
I understand that you don't have much stashed away.
You'll be sorry if you trust him completely.
Once he turns his back, he never looks back.
Let me give you a piece of advice.
You have to limp when you stand in front of your enemy,
so the enemy will feel sorry for you.
What's your problem?
I have a lot of problems and that's why I resent the world.
You shouldn't drink coffee on an empty stomach.
My stomach can handle it.
Ma'am, isn't his medicine ready yet?
Yes, here it is.
Honey, tell him to move out.
Why do you insist that your grown son live here?
It's uncomfortable for all of us.
This is so bitter.
Honey!
Mom, I'm going out.
Are you depressed again?
Do you want your medication?
No, don't bother.
I'll be back soon.
Don't worry about me.
Mom, I'll bring home blueberry cheesecake.
Honey, how fortunate that you don't get old.
When would be a good time for you and your husband?
Mi-ran, I...
I got divorced.
When?
It's been a long time.
Is that why you've been living so quietly?
It wasn't deliberate.
I never imagined you were divorced.
You were so in love with him. I thought you were doing well.
That's why I asked you to have dinner with us.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
I'm the one who didn't tell you.
Actually, Will's divorced too.
But he became successful after his divorce,
so maybe getting divorced was good for him.
I'm fortunate to have met him.
But the one thing I can't stand since being
wheelchair-bound is that my Will feels guilty.
The accident happened while I was in his car.
I wanted to break up because I didn't want to be a burden
on him, but he insisted on staying by my side.
In the beginning, I thought he stayed with me out of pity.
But I feel his feelings were sincere
when he held my hand and proposed.
Sometimes I feel
like I'm holding him back.
I'm sure you're not.
I think he really loves you.
I could see it in his eyes.
Really?
Did he look that way?
I should go home. My mom...
Have lunch with me!
Will went to play golf.
I had my housekeeper make your favorite dish.
It must have been very difficult for you.
You got divorced and your father passed away.
I couldn't have handled it.
I was afraid at first,
but eventually it got better and the memories faded.
I had to survive somehow.
Aren't you seeing anyone?
No, and I'm not interested.
Why not?
You're still young and pretty!
I'd better ask Will to find a nice man for you.
No, don't do that.
Miss, it's for you.
Did you play a good game today?
Really?
There are no secrets in this world.
He said he would tell her.
It's not something we should hide,
but it didn't seem right for me to tell her either.
Yes, you shouldn't have to get involved.
It's between them.
I can't believe that Sae-hoon and Mi-ran
ended up together, of all people!
I saw that flirty Mi-ran trying to charm Sae-hoon,
and I couldn't stand to see the sight of them!
But I did feel sorry for her just a little.
Seeing her in a wheelchair did make my heart hurt.
Who would've thought that cheerful Mi-ran
would end up in a wheelchair?
Do you want more coffee?
No.
Are you all right?
What about?
Your ex-husband's engaged to your friend.
Should I tell you something even more shocking?
I'm working as a maid for Sae-hoon.
Isn't it shocking?
Life is so complicated and confusing.
I can't figure it out.
But I don't care.
It's just work.
Your life is like a movie!
But you really seem okay with it.
Should I be more honest?
I thought I had forgotten him,
but I do dream about him sometimes.
You shouldn't dream about him anymore!
Hello?
Yes.
Now?
Where are we going?
To spend money.
What's wrong with my buying you some clothes?
Actually,
I told my friend that I'd introduce you.
I want to show off that I too have a proper woman.
I'm sorry.
I knew you wouldn't go along with it if I told you.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
Please help me for just a few hours.
All right.
I know how you must've felt.
Can I buy something expensive?
I think you're so pretty.
I don't think anyone is prettier than you.
Who are we here to meet?
Don't you know, you already know this person?
They're here.
That's Ji-eun.
Why didn't you tell me about Jung-min?
The four of us should get together often.
Will, wouldn't it be nice?
I don't want to do that.
I want to be alone with Ji-eun.
You really have fallen hard for her.
How much do you like her?
A corny question will get a corny answer, you know?
I like her more than I could ever say!
Do you feel the same?
Do you like Mr. Seo?
Aren't you going to answer him?
Silence means it's a yes.
Let's stay like this.
Try it.
It's tender and the sauce is good.
Yes, thank you.
I don't like salmon too much but you seem to like it a lot.
Would you like another glass of wine?
Sure.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yes, I'm eating dinner now.
Excuse me.
When are you coming home?
Mom, what's wrong with your voice?
Are you feeling down again?
Aren't you feeling well?
You know that I don't feel well most of the time.
I don't have any appetite.
I'll bring home something.
How about sushi?
Okay.
I'll be home soon.
Your mother must be happy.
A man with a good background like Mr. Seo
is just what your parents wanted for you.
You sure never cease to amaze me.
Why didn't you tell me about you and Mr. Seo?
Do I have a reason to inform you?
No, you don't.
Did you steal his bag again like you did mine?
I want you to be happy with Mi-ran.
And you're happy with Mr. Seo?
Stop being a baby about this.
There's no rule that says only you can be happy.
Of course you should be happy.
I wonder if he knows that you're divorced.
He knows.
I hate looking back on my past,
but it's a part of my life.
You've come back into my life again.
How does it feel for you to come back into my life again?
Stop, I don't want to fight with you.
Are you going to marry him?
I never entertained that thought,
but perhaps I should.
Ji-eun.
Who were you talking to for so long?
The two of them look so good together, don't they?
I feel sorry for Ji-eun.
Her father passed away, her family lost all their money,
she got divorced, and she had a miscarriage.
She must have a lot of memories she'd like to forget.
I'm glad Jung-min seems to like her a lot.
How does he seem to you?
He's a good person.
He doesn't seem like the kind of man to make a woman cry.
Didn't you say you had something to tell me?
What is it?
Nothing.
I don't want to be alone.
Can't you sleep here tonight?
I don't think I can sleep.
Then will you stay until I fall asleep?
Okay, I'll do that.
I had the dream again last night.
They say the greatest gift God gave humans
is the ability to forget.
But I can't seem to forget the accident.
I keep telling myself I should forget it,
but it's not easy.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
Don't try to force yourself to forget.
You can't force it.
Okay.
Everyone has something they'd like to forget.
Ji-eun.
Mom.
Hello.
Who is this man?
You're beautiful because you take after your mother.
You must be Ji-eun's friend.
Do you want to come inside for some coffee?
What does your father do?
He runs a business.
I work for the Seolin Group.
You're an executive?
But you're so young!
How impressive!
No, it's in name only.
You seem so down to earth and you're handsome to boot!
Can I speak to you casually?
Of course.
Do you have any intention of marrying my daughter Ji-eun?
Mom!
Are you going to marry him?
I never entertained that thought,
but perhaps I should.
Your mother's like a teenage girl.
Don't pay attention to what she said.
As I told you before, I just want to be friends with you.
Are you saying that because you were once married?
I told you I don't care about that.
I don't think you dislike me.
You're right.
It's not that I don't like you.
And I know you're too good for me.
That's good enough for me.
Actually, the man I was married to...
I'm...
I'm going to take a step forward.
