Jang Mi, it's been a while.
Do you know me?
Of course I do. I know you quite well.
You were the star of my hostess bar.
Your hostess bar?
I know you had a lot of debt, but you shouldn't have run away.
What are you talking about?
You have the wrong person.
Ri Soon Jung?
That's right. Soon Jung is your name.
We called you Jang Mi though.
Now it's time for you to pay up.
(A million dollars at a yearly interest of 20 percent)
(Ri Soon Jung)
It's time you came back and worked off your debt.
A million dollars?
No way.
Stare at it all you want.
It won't change the fact that you have a pile of debt.
Come on. Drag her home.
Let's go.
- Let go of me. - Jang Mi!
Don't make a fuss.
I heard you put out those who own the auto shop.
Let's not drag them into this.
I don't believe you.
Neither of you hold a place in my memory.
I don't know you at all.
Life sure is easy for you, isn't it?
Saying it isn't true doesn't matter.
Not when I have more evidence than needed.
I want to check if it's true myself.
For all I know, the thumbprint might be fake.
Go ahead.
(Nam Hui Auto Shop)
Do you know if she has a scar on her body?
To find her a job, I need to know.
Where is Mother trying to get her a job at?
Where is she going?
Here we are.
Here we are. I'm sure it brings back memories.
I'm freezing. Let's go inside.
Is this really...
where I used to work?
Head inside and you'll see.
So this is where Mother got her a job at.
Cruel doesn't even begin to describe it.
Look, it's Jang Mi.
The star is back.
Do you remember them?
Because of you, they had an annoying winter.
Don't let it be that way again.
Now do you believe me?
No way.
I'd never do this.
I still don't believe anything you said.
I'm not being nice just so that you can doubt me.
To be honest, I'd report you to the police...
had you not been a good employee.
You should be thanking me.
Jang Mi.
Let's work hard like we used to before.
Can I take a look around?
Take all the time you want.
Why are you calling her Jang Mi?
That isn't the Jang Mi I remember.
I forgot that he was coming over today.
The real Jang Mi owes him money.
Don't say anything stupid.
You're good as long as you get paid.
Let me cover it. How much does she owe you?
Don't bother. I'll get it from her myself.
I honestly don't care as long as I'm paid.
What?
Mo Ah's still in denial?
It'd be weird if she weren't.
The fake passport and document made her come all this way,
but I need more definitive proof.
Definitive proof?
Okay, I'll think of something.
Were you able to find a job for Nam Sil?
Yes, she's in the middle of an interview.
That's great.
I asked the camera crew, and she doesn't have a scar.
She has no tattoos either.
I see.
She has a mole on the back of her left thigh,
but that's nothing to be alarmed over.
What?
She has a mole on the back of her left thigh?
It's me, ma'am. Sorry?
Good, thank you.
So what do you think now?
I'm afraid I'd like to check again.
- Check what? - My passport...
and the thumbprint on the promissory note.
I see you still think I'm lying.
You have a mole on that back of your thigh.
Your left thigh to be exact.
Fine.
I'd like to ask you a question too.
Since I worked here,
you must know how well I can drink.
What?
How much alcohol can I tolerate?
Quite a lot.
You can easily drink a bottle of whiskey.
Should we put it to the test?
Go and bring me a bottle of whiskey.
Don't bother.
Still,
let me check if these are real.
It'll only take me a day.
Don't you dare run away again though.
If you do, I'll tell those at the auto shop...
and make them pay your debt.
Don't worry.
I have nowhere to go anyway.
Why you...
What would you have done if she couldn't drink?
Were you sure of your estimate?
Of course not.
A bottle would be a joke in her state of mind.
If I were her, I'd easily drink two.
You sure are bold, I give you that.
It's a forgery. Please tell me that it is.
Forgers these days are too skilled,
so it's impossible to tell forgeries apart.
What about this thumbprint?
I don't remember signing such a document.
(Ri Soon Jung)
I compared it to yours,
and I'm afraid that it's a match.
Does Nam Koo know?
No.
Please don't tell him.
I'll...
I'll tell him all in due time.
I've been wondering all day where you were.
I was out getting some fresh air.
What's that you hid? Can I see it?
Tell that family the whole truth.
You never know.
They might sell everything to pay back your debt.
It's nothing.
What is it? Let me see.
You can't.
It's your GED mock exam.
Really?
Now I want to see it more.
I said you can't!
Fine, I won't.
There's no need to yell.
I'd like to rest, so you should go to work.
Sure.
Nam Koo.
Yes? What is it?
Come home early today.
I will.
Look at what we earned today.
I'm glad we decided to sell the new noodles.
If only you could look at yourself.
The way you count money is absolutely endearing.
Nam Hui, don't you agree?
I'm going to count my money the way she does as well.
Like that.
I didn't realize one could be this slick.
Nam Hui, you sure know how to joke.
Anyway, this is all thanks to Nam Hui and me.
She provided the idea and I executed it.
I should get the credit too.
I'm the one who brought her to you.
Don't be absurd.
This is all thanks to me boycotting for a short while.
Don't you ever forget that.
Honey, what are you covered in?
I was just making the noodles.
- My gosh. - Goodness.
Man Soo, watch it!
Chun Soo, I think there's something in my eye.
Sorry?
Go on.
She needs help clearing her eye.
Closer, please.
Come on.
That's much better.
Thank you, Chun Soo.
Shin Ae, can you bring the spring onions from storage?
Sook Ja, I'll do it instead.
Something fishy's going on.
That's weird.
Why is my heart pounding over nothing?
Onions are needed too.
Of course.
So how's your eye?
There's still something in it.
Look.
What's there to look at?
You seem fine.
What's wrong with him?
If I play my cards right, I can see her again.
For your information, she's still alive.
You passed the preliminary bar exam.
So why did you give up?
How did you know that?
"Mo Hyuk, congratulations on passing the preliminary bar exam."
"I hope you become one of Korea's finest."
"I love you. From your sister."
I wasn't snooping around, you know.
Okay, fine. I'll drop it. I'm sorry.
You should do as she wrote.
What's the point in working here?
While intoxicated, you said that she's still alive.
Can we drop it?
I must've crossed the line again.
Fine, let's finish our lunch.
I'll ask you one last time.
Is Mo Ah really dead?
Is she...
really my sister?
So Mo Hyuk knows that Mo Ah is still alive.
Yes.
He joined the company...
to find her.
Let him.
How can I?
He's obviously here to spy on me.
Do you know where Mo Ah is?
You don't.
So he can spy on you all he wants.
He knows the truth, so I can't take any chances.
You're more naive than I thought.
It took you long enough.
Did Mo Hyuk confide...
in you about this?
Do you think...
that he trusts anyone in our family?
It's pretty obvious what he was up to from the start.
He'd have to be insane...
to work here when his sister is dead.
What's your plan with him?
I told you that he's our hostage.
We'll have to find a way to get him on a leash.
Then we can bargain if Mo Ah returns.
I don't want him to get hurt.
I'd rather have him quit...
and out of my line of sight.
I'd like to see you try.
He wouldn't have come here if it were that easy.
A member of the civilian army.
He enlisted in the civilian army.
He was also a part of the allied forces.
The Siege of Jinju was lead by him.
Let's not forget that.
When did you get here?
I see you're studying hard.
I told you that it's dangerous to be about.
I was hoping to walk with you home today.
Okay, sure.
Let's go to Nam Hui.
Nam Hui?
Yes, I've always wanted to see where she works.
Ta-da!
I hope I'm not late. Now let's go home.
How were things at work today?
It was good. They can't function without me.
The weather's nice.
Nam Koo, when will we go and see cherry blossoms?
We'll go this weekend.
They're not in full bloom yet.
They are down south.
We'll make it a road trip.
Really? I'd love that.
Let's walk holding hands.
Come on. Are you two in a relationship?
Are you embarrassed?
Holding hands is childish anyway.
We look like a real family now.
Nam Hui, Nam Koo, and Nam Sil.
Gosh, I'm hungry. Can you buy me galbi?
We'll eat at home. Mom's waiting.
Why don't I make some for you?
Really?
Yes, tell me whatever it is you want,
and I'll make it for you.
Okay, let's go then.
- So what do you want? - Galbi.
It looks delicious. Thanks, Nam Sil.
Please enjoy.
Nam Sil, is this a special occasion?
What is all this?
I bet she felt guilty...
for living off on us for so long.
Right?
Stop saying that or I'll smack you.
Let's eat then.
Nam Sil, you too.
It's delicious!
Here. You should dig in as well.
Do you think that it'll taste weird?
Of course not.
I just thought it'd be nice if you were my daughter-in-law.
Mom, don't be ridiculous.
I said I'd smack you if you keep killing the mood.
I'd like that too, you know.
I've been thinking it for a while now.
I know it's selfish of me,
but I'd like you to live with us forever.
Stop it and let Nam Sil eat.
Go ahead.
- Besides, I... - Stop it already.
You two, stop shouting across the dinner table.
Also, never threaten to throw food around.
My shoulders hurt.
It's not a surprise since I carried someone home yesterday.
We should call it a night.
Where's my bracelet?
Is it the one in leather?
Yes, an African friend made it for me personally.
I found it in my room.
Really?
What a relief.
I would've sent you to Africa had I lost this.
Why do you stay here instead of at your aunt's?
There's no particular reason.
Are you okay being here even though you have claustrophobia?
I'm fine here for some reason.
Maybe it's because I'm with you.
How did you develop claustrophobia anyway?
It's because of my mom.
She lost my brother when we were little.
For 10 years, she suffered from...
depression and obsessive compulsive disorder.
She was so scared she'd lose me too...
that she often locked me up.
My brother was her whole world.
She barely cared about me.
She didn't care to know what I ate, what I liked,
or even what I was thinking.
That's why I hated the brother I didn't even remember.
Do you still hate him?
Of course not.
I'm sure you noticed, but I'm an awesome person.
I let go of my hatred in middle school.
Aren't I amazing?
Is everything all right now?
It couldn't be better.
I'm home.
Why are you always so late these days?
Did you work late with Mo Hyuk again?
Unlike you three, I'm a low-ranking employee.
I'll leave you three to talk then.
What is it?
I found Ms. Jung.
- Where? - At Nam Hui Auto Shop.
She's an employee here.
Did you just say Nam Hui Auto Shop?
Yes.
I can't do anything since she's home right now.
Set the plan in motion first thing tomorrow.
You better be discreet.
She was under our noses this whole time.
Why though?
How did Nam Sil's job interview go today?
This again?
Why are you so concerned about her anyway?
I feel guilty...
for calling off the advertisement.
Don't be absurd. You obviously had your reasons.
That's why I've been thinking about asking her to model for me again.
I see she doesn't know that it's Mo Ah.
You can do whatever you want. I won't stop you.
I'm not sure if Nam Sil would accept your offer though.
I guess your plan worked.
We'll see.
Gosh, I'm full.
Nam Sil, the royal chef.
The galbi was delicious. I hope there will be a next time.
Why are you staring at me?
Is it because of what my mom said?
Come on. Let's study.
Wife, can I take a break from studying today?
Come on.
Can't I take the day off?
I'm saying you can't.
What's gotten into you?
Who are you calling your wife?
It was a joke.
Don't say that even if it is a joke.
You know, I'm quite the catch.
As if.
What?
Although I don't remember, I'm probably out of your league.
I'm sure that my life was better than yours.
I'm helping you study to become someone worthy,
so you should be nothing but grateful,
not slacking off every chance you get.
- So? - So...
I'm saying you should study hard.
The galbi you made was so delicious,
and I had a blast during dinner tonight.
What was so wrong about me joking that you're my wife anyway?
Tell me. What on earth did I do wrong?
My mom and sister...
ate happily tonight thanks to you...
and I wanted to cherish that moment instead of studying.
What's so wrong about that?
You've been slacking off your whole life.
That's been the story of your life so far.
Don't say that it was because of Nam Hui.
If you really cared about her, you'd study harder.
Nam Sil, are you all right?
- Did you two argue again? - No.
Then why are you crying?
Is it because you miss your family?
It's all right, don't you worry.
You'll meet your family in no time,
so hang in there a while longer.
When you do, I'll be the one to make galbi for you.
So I'd like you to promise me...
that you'll be strong and cheerful like you've been so far.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
No matter how hard things get,
it'll all pass. It'll be a distant memory soon.
Do you understand what I mean?
Yes. I won't forget your kindness.
Ma'am,
always stay healthy.
Gosh, what a ruckus.
How can you two argue all the time?
Nam Hui,
keep working at the restaurant no matter what.
Whatever Nam Koo says, you can't quit.
I couldn't quit even if I wanted to.
There's a man named Chun Soo who keeps pestering me.
Being pretty sure can be annoying at times.
How old is he?
What does he do? Is he handsome?
He's 40 and a city employee.
He's not that good looking though.
Do you fancy him?
I don't know.
What about you? Did anyone ask you out at work?
No.
Gosh, that's boring.
Will you be studying before bed again?
Thank you for doing this for my brother.
Also, thank you for the galbi today.
Once I'm paid, I'll buy you tteokbokki.
(To Nam Koo.)
Nam Hui, to be honest,
there's someone I fancy too.
He's 30,
and a talented mechanic at an auto shop.
He's not that handsome, but okay to look at.
However,
I'm...
Why am I anxious?
I can't seem to sleep tonight.
Will Mo Ah come like she promised to?
What if she tells Nam Koo though?
Him knowing will only cause trouble.
Shouldn't you be in bed?
Shouldn't you?
I have to go to work early to take care of a few things.
I see. Would you like something to eat then?
No, I'd rather rest my eyes more.
Sure thing. Anyway, I'm off to wash up.
So Mo Ah was at the auto shop all along.
I bet Myung Sook already knew.
Well, I'll know what's going on in the morning too.
Are you insane?
You'll die out in this cold.
I waited for you.
You really are awake.
Where have you been?
We've been waiting for you. Are you hungry?
Yes, I am.
Kang Nam Sil?
Nam Koo, Nam Hui, and Nam Sil.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
It's a pepper spray and whistle.
If someone strange approaches you,
use both of these right away.
What if I do?
Will you come to rescue me?
The weather's great.
Cherry blossoms will bloom soon.
Of course. It is spring, isn't it?
We should go to see them then.
Together with your mom and sister.
Cherry blossoms?
Sure. You're packing lunch though.
Fine.
But we're not going unless you get your GED.
Nam Koo, I'm sorry.
Take care.
(Club Venus)
Jang Mi, you're here.
It's good to see you.
I'm sure this is familiar.
Now hurry up and get changed.
I'm sorry,
but can't I work in other places like the kitchen?
You've got to be kidding me.
You can't earn enough there to pay off your debt.
We stick to what we do best.
In your case, that's entertaining men.
I'd like to go to the bathroom first.
Didn't Ms. Hong tell you not to make her work rooms?
Well, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Not everyone can work rooms.
It's something that you need to ease into.
I must've dozed off.
- Hye Ri, let's link arms. - Sure thing.
Gosh, you're prettier than ever.
Don't just stand there.
I'm sure you remember our star hostess girl.
This is Jang Mi.
(I Am Sorry, but I Love You)
What do you mean Mo Ah's gone?
Try and find her all you want.
Nam Koo, I'm going home.
I hope you understand that this is the only way.
Goodbye.
