[Episode 12: It's Time to Wake Up from This Dream]
Hey, I heard her mom is an erotic actress.
- What, seriously? - Yeah.
Wow...
Like mother, like daughter.
Hey, I heard Joo Hye Ri cried on her show because of that woman.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
- That's her, isn't it? - What?
The girl you told me about.
- It's that woman. - Her mom is an erotic actress?
- Yeah. - I feel bad for her.
The reason why I'm not doing anything...
is because I'm waiting for Jin Wook to take care of things on his own.
I wanted you to know that.
And it's not like anything is certain between you two.
Excuse me, where can I find Nutritionist Lee Yoo Mi?
She left without a word, so we can't reach her either.
It's all your fault.
Wh... What's my fault this time?
Who do you think you are?
What right did you have to say that on TV?
Hey, it just ended up that way...
And, that man is disgraceful!
After he dated you for as much as he wanted...
He talked about Dong Goo being his kid, and then he dumped you!
He's not a man...
Date?
I'm not in a relationship with that man.
He's just a one-night stand and nothing more.
It's a secret I have to keep until I die.
So why did you make that public?
Why did you do that? Why?
So what? What's wrong with that?
Is it a crime to see a men?
Are you happy after selling out your daughter on TV?
You don't think about anyone but yourself.
You don't think about my hardships or my feelings.
You don't think about me at all.
Can you still call yourself a mother?
I got it, you wench!
I won't talk about you on TV from now on...
So live your life as if you don't have a mother.
I wish I could do that.
If you hadn't caused a fuss...
and held your wedding at that resort...
No, if you didn't film, "I'm Going To Burst."
No, if my mom wasn't that kind of person...
It wouldn't have been so bad.
Do you even know how difficult it is...
to live as an erotic actress' daughter?
Hey, her mom is an erotic actress.
That's crazy!
But her breasts were no joke! As I was watching it...
I struggled so much to keep people from calling me an erotic actress' daughter.
I'm sure you do it because you like it...
But I don't like it.
I'm embarrassed and ashamed.
Even if I cover myself up like this...
I feel like I'm stripped naked in front of everyone.
I won't do this anymore.
I'm sick of it!
Yoo Mi.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the tone.
Where did you go, Lee Yoo Mi?
Hey, you son of a bitch.
Where did Lee Yoo Mi go?
I clearly warned you not to cross the line.
I said that because I was afraid this would happen.
I was afraid Yoo Mi would get hurt and hide all by herself!
This is because of you. Do you know that?
[32 Missed Calls, 16 Unread Messages]
Lee Yoo Mi, are you all right? Call me when you see this message.
Where are you? Please answer your phone!
You don't think about anyone but yourself.
You don't think about my hardships or my feelings.
You don't think about me at all.
Can you still call yourself a mother?
Of course.
You grew in my belly, and I gave birth to you...
My baby.
Did she tell you where she was going?
Have you ever seen a runaway who tells you where they're going?
She said she wanted to go to the beach.
I heard you first met by the East Sea.
Thanks.
Hold onto her.
If you make her cry again, I'll really beat you up.
I won't let you get away with it either, you bastard.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after--
Where on earth is she?
What will Yoo Mi do? She was humiliated in front of the entire nation...
She just transferred too. I wonder if she's holding up okay.
I tried calling her, but her phone is turned off.
At a time like this, it's better to leave her alone.
Let's wait it out.
Those two... will be okay, right?
There, there, there...
I couldn't think of a better place to run away to...
[We take orders for two or more people.]
Fine, it's my fault for being hungry at a time like this.
Gosh, you scared me.
- Are you a customer? - No.
Then why were you standing there of all places?
Goodness, what to do? You're all wet.
Her personality is like that. I'll apologize on her behalf.
No, that's okay. Why would you apologize?
If it's okay with you, please dry off at my restaurant.
- Pardon? - Gosh, look at this.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Did you eat?
I was about to have a late lunch. Please join me.
No, that's okay...
I think your stomach is grumbling.
Please join me for lunch.
Can I do that? I feel like I'm troubling you too much.
Goodness, you're not troubling me.
Eating together is better than eating alone.
Please sit over there.
I don't know if you'll like it, but please eat up.
Yes.
- It's delicious. - I'm glad you like it.
It's really good.
What's your secret in making abalone porridge?
How is it so delicious?
I'm not sure. There are no secrets to speak of.
Oh, when you boil the broth, boil it with the abalone shells.
A refreshing flavor comes from the shells.
And add dried bonito flakes if you have some on hand.
Just a moment.
Abalone shells, dried bonito flakes...
You must like to cook.
I'm not very good, but I like it. I'm a nutritionist.
Oh my, I didn't know you were a nutritionist.
My mother... likes abalone porridge.
She liked making it too.
Then should we eat abalone soup next time?
That's okay.
It never tastes the same.
I was reminded of someone who likes abalone porridge.
He said he missed eating his mother's abalone porridge.
Because it never tasted the same, wherever he went.
Is that so?
I finally found out how to make delicious abalone porridge...
But I can't make it for him anymore.
It sounds like you liked that person a great deal.
I'll do the dishes after we finish eating.
I'm... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I rested and ate well, thanks to you.
Gosh, don't mention it.
- By the way, can you ride a bike? - Pardon?
I have a bike. Do you want to ride it? It's better than walking everywhere.
Really?
Then, I'll ride it and drop by before I go home.
Okay.
What?
Th... That over there.
It was you?
Hey, Blackey!
I told you not to come into the house.
Are you all right?
Where are you?
Where are you hiding, Lee Yoo Mi?
- What are you doing? - I'm dancing!
Hey, why are you embarrassing me like that?
Please stop! Please stop...
If I knew it would hurt this much, I wouldn't have even started this.
I was the one who ran away, so why am I hurting more?
It hasn't been very long. I shouldn't miss him already.
Lee Yoo Mi, I miss you.
Not you from my memory, but the real you.
Look at this! Nice! I found money!
Wow.
1989. This was made the year I was born.
I feel really lucky today!
Really? Didn't you go through too much today to call it a good day?
Even after a hundred bad things, when one good thing happens...
It's a good day.
I found 500 won in this vast bed of sand.
And it was made the year I was born. That's pretty rare.
Here, it's a gift.
Just wait until I find you.
Is it your hobby to look pitiful?
Can you pretend like you never saw me? Don't pick a fight with me.
I just wanted to make sure you won't run in front of a car.
What?
That's right, I'm going to erase our memories, one by one.
Lee Yoo Mi.
Do you know how hard I looked for you all day long?
I was worried to death about you.
Why did you come all the way here?
You told me not to look for you.
I held back because I was afraid you'd actually hide forever.
Why did you lose so much weight?
I starved because I was so worried about you.
Why did you do that, like a fool?
So from now on, don't run away from me.
Did I ever tell you why I have insomnia?
No.
I was around Dong Goo's age...
My mother suddenly disappeared.
It smells like you.
The blanket smells like you too.
Yes, my son...
I'm sleepy.
Really? Then sleep.
Mom?
Mom!
Mom...
That must have been why I cared about Dong Goo.
I was afraid he'd turn out like me.
Do you still resent your mother?
No.
I'm sure she had her reasons.
For someone who was born and raised by the ocean, she must have been bored.
No matter how big the house was, it didn't compare to the ocean.
I still... resent my mom.
I blame her for all of this.
After I found out my mom was an erotic actress...
I lived my entire life like a middle school student in puberty.
I was worried people would ridicule me...
so I wrapped myself up in clothes, even when I felt stuffy.
I didn't want to be seen as easy, so I never dated.
I just got excited over immature and predictable romance novels...
I look like a fool, don't I?
You know...
Director Cha...
No, Cha Jin Wook, I was happy...
thanks to you.
I can't believe I dated such an attractive man.
- It was like a dream. - Don't say that.
To me, you're not just a dream.
There are too many things I still haven't done with Lee Yoo Mi.
And I'm going to do all of it with you from now on.
I will never let you go.
Let's keep our professional lives separate from our private lives.
I only eat the food that she makes.
She's my personal nutritionist.
I hope... you only do that with me.
Don't be sick.
What was that? Don't do that!
Can you do that again?
Ar... Are you hungry, by any chance?
Get back safely.
I don't like sleeping alone...
And I don't like eating alone either.
Dong Goo, look over there. What's that?
That's right. What could that be?
All I did was work to the bone.
That was the only way I could survive. It was because of you, Lee Yoo Mi.
Let's hold hands, all three of us.
I don't think you're an easy woman at all.
I've never met a woman as difficult as you, Lee Yoo Mi.
That's why you can loosen up now.
When you're with me, at least.
Thank you.
I'm thankful that my first love, and my last love...
is you.
[Epilogue: As I let you go.]
[That woman left already.]
[I miss you so much.]
[I'm going crazy because I miss you so much.]
[I'm welling up with tears without realizing it.]
[I shouldn't be like this. I need to forget her.]
[Epilogue: The lovers pass each other.]
[The lovers are in the same place at the same time.]
[They pass each other, just like that.]
[He just passed by.]
[Epilogue: "Let's Be a Coin" - Won Tae Yeon]
I know it's useless now...
But let's pray to be like a coin.
You're the front side, and I'm the back side.
When one side is missing, the coin is thrown away.
Let's pray to be like a coin.
Even if we can't see each other, we're always together.
Even if we can't check on each other, we're together forever.
Let's pray to be like...
a coin.
I know it's trivial...
But let's pray to be like a coin.
You can be the front side...
And I can be the back side.
When one side is missing...
Let's pray to be the coin that is thrown away.
Even if we can't see each other, we're always together.
Even if we can't check on each other...
we're together...
forever.
Let's pray to be like a coin.
[My Secret Romance]
Yoo Mi, don't be sick. I feel so bad.
I want my son to be happy with the woman he loves.
Don't be scared and hesitate because you're afraid of getting hurt.
- I feel wronged to end it like this. - Are you leaving?
It's a one-way ticket, so I don't know when I'm coming back.
If I lose this woman now, I'll regret it forever!
- We haven't even begun... - That's what I'm saying.
If you love him, hold onto him.
