I'm home.
You're late.
I went to Jaeseong's house and stayed for dinner.
His grandfather asked me to stop by.
He was nice to me.
I don't want to see Misuk again because of you kids.
Don't worry. I'll do a good job.
I'm not the only person who knows you were in an orphanage.
No one can know...
No one must know... No one...
Seyeong, are you going to be home tomorrow?
Yeah, why?
I'm going to take a look at the tape and work on the script tomorrow
so wait for Jaeseong
to call you in the afternoon.
Okay.
Mom can I sleep in grandma's room?
Her bed is way bigger and prettier
Are you sure you don't need to sleep with mommy?
Of course. I'm in the second grade.
Grandma, I want to sleep in your room.
Of course, my angel.
You smell nice, grandma.
I want some of your lotions.
No, no, no!
I hate it when people touch my lotions.
I won t even have you open the lids.
Okay.
When did I eat all this?
Oh no!
I must have been possessed the ghost of fatness.
I didn't even realize I was eating.
Where's that boy from the sauna?
He said he'll eat later
I think he's still shy.
Mother.
Come in.
Jihyeon, ask Donguk to come eat breakfast.
Okay.
If he say he won't come drag him to the table.
Okay.
Aren't you going to your English class today?
No. I go twice a week.
Mom, I guess you're serious about your diet this time.
Yes.
I'm a woman of my word.
It looks like your face is a little puffy.
I wonder why.
What do you mean puffy?
Hurry up and eat.
Yerin was here yesterday.
I know.
When am I getting grandchildren?
Huh?
Father
Kids don't get married that young these days.
So?
Are you suggesting he wait until he's in his 40s, like a certain someone?
You're the 16th grandson in the line of Hans
and you're the only son in this family, too
What's so wrong about having three or four kids when you re still young?
You can have more than one son.
What do you think of Yerin?
Rabbit's...
Yerin's like a sister to me. I've known her since she was a kid.
See, father?
I wonder who ate the steamed ribs.
We had steamed ribs left over?
Yes.
I left some to give grandfather for lunch.
But there are only two ribs left.
I wonder who ate all this.
Maybe Seongsu ate them yesterday after staying up working.
Who cares who ate the ribs?
Well, I should...
Thank you.
I don't have much of an appetite.
I know she's not the type to not be able to finish this
No wonder her face was so swollen.
Jaeseong, are you sure you don't have feelings for Yerin?
Yes.
Why do you hate her so much?
I don't hate her.
I just don t think she's the right fit for our family
and besides, it's hard marrying into a head family
Where are you going?
To brush my teeth.
Rabbit
Rabbit is Yerin's nickname, isn't it?
Dad, hey.
Hey.
Auntie, I brought Donguk.
Hey.
- Let's eat. - Yes.
Grandmother's not...
She doesn't eat with us.
What?
She used Western toilets even during the japanese colonial days
and she had a baby rattle made out of silver.
She ate only using a golden spoon,
That's why she doesn't like having heavy breakfasts at the table.
She prefers taking her breakfast in bed, typically in brunch style.
Mom,last night grandma was...
What?
What's going on?
Why's is everyone having so much fun?
Why are you laughing so?
No reason.
What's your name, child?
Donguk. Jang Donguk.
Yes, you're as white as snow and tofu
so I know you'll only tell me the truth.
Why were you laughing?
Well...
What is it?
Jihyeon was teasing you for snoring at night.
What?
What do you mean? I don't snore!
You do, too.
How did I snore?
Bring me some food.
Don't you want your breakfast in bed?
I don't want you talking about me like this.
From now on, I'm going to eat at the table, so hurry.
Okay.
Are you leaving now?
Yes.
I thought you were sleeping.
Go have some breakfast.
No, I'm going to bed.
I was up working all night.
Do you discuss movies on your program, too?
Yes.
Who's your featured guest?
Park Jaecheon, the director "Yanghwa Bridge".
He doesn't know anything.
He just got lucky.
Ask me if you have any questions about the movie biz.
I even studied abroad so I can help you.
I'm probably the best expert on film theory in Korea.
Okay.
I'm a film major so you can come to me with your questions.
- I got it. - Yeah.
Bye.
I don't know if he got what I was trying to say.
I hope he fires that other director and hires me instead.
These are the deeds to the bar and my bank account book.
There won't be much left over i after you pay the rent on this place
but you can keep the rest.
Thank you for everything.
Remember, learn a skill or trade.
Mihwa.
Where did she go in that state of hers?
He didn't even major in film. Where did she go in that state of hers?
He didn't even major in film.
- One for Daegu. - Okay.
We're going to do it outdoors this week.
Good.
The weather report said it won't rain but there's a bit of wind
I'll remember that as we work on the clothes and hair.
Okay
When we work outdoors, the FD has more work to do.
It'll be a long day, Jeonghyo.
I trust that you'll work hard.
Of course.
Thank you.
Hello?
Is this Lee Yerin?
Yes?
I'm Jaeseong's mother.
Are you busy?
No, go ahead.
I need to talk to you.
Are you free today?
Yes, where should we meet?
I'll go meet you where you are.
All right.
I already talked to her mother, but she won't listen to me.
Then I'll have to talk to her myself.
This town hasn't changed one bit.
Kim Shinhye
Why are you quitting when you've only been here a few days?
I'm sorry.
Is it because I kept asking you if you have a girlfriend?
I was only kidding.
No, it's not that.
I thought the job was going to be interesting
but I don t think I'm cut out for it.
Well, we can't force him to stay.
Can you at least stay on until we find a replacement?
Yes, I'm very sorry.
I was going to throw him a welcome party.
I guess not.
You were going to buy us dinner?
You know I don't have that kind of money.
Yeah.
He's got to send money to his family abroad!
You're the only one who understands.
Ilyeong said she's paying for dinner, because her sister going to be on TV.
Are you free tonight?
- See you later. - Yeah.
He always asks everyone else to pay for things
but he's never even bought us so much as a cup of coffee.
What's his deal?
I think you're more weird.
I think you're the weirdest of all. You and your weird face.
You wrote such a great script. I guess it's because of your sister.
Well, I can't say that's not true.
Did you get the call from Director Park?
No, why?
He's cranking in his next movie
so he said he can t work on our program anymore.
I gave him your number so he could call you.
I guess he'll call soon.
Did you find another director?
We're choosing from a list.
Do you think you can add Lee Seongsu to the list?
What was his latest film?
"South Sea" It opened last year.
Are you talking about that horror of a film?
I heard couples break up over that movie
and if you recommend it to a friend, you surely lose a friend
I went to see that movie and cursed all the way home.
Don't tell me you enjoyed that movie.
No..
He's actually my uncle.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
I'll put him on the list.
Thanks, Ilyeong.
Do you think Seyeong can come to the station today?
I'd like for her to rehearse the lines.
Okay,will you call her?
- Bye. - Yeah.
Maybe he agreed to bring in Seyeong, so he can put his uncle on the list.
"Sad Sea"?
- Here you are. - Oh.
Here, take these, too.
This too much.
I might look like I'm trying to kiss up to them or something.
This isn't kissing up.
I baked this for you this morning thinking of you
Can't you see where I'm coming from?
I'll do my best
- Good luck! - Yeah!
Here.
Bye.
- Good luck - Yeah.
Seyeong is so lucky she found a dad like you.
I don't think so.
I've put her through so much.
She had to work her way through college and that wasn't easy.
I feel so bad whenever I think of her.
Did you tell your mother you're coming to see me?
No.
What about how you came over yesterday?
She knows about that.
Didn't she say anything?
I thought I'd made myself clear to your mother.
I've never gone against my mother or disobeyed her before.
I know that.
You'd lie down and play dead if your mother asked you to.
But I asked her to let me continue to like Jaeseong.
Yerin.
We have 14 memorial services in one year.
You might have to quit your job if you marry my son.
Do you want to jump through all those hoops for my son?
Yes.
I don't understand.
Do you hate me that much?
I wouldn't feel that way as long as you stay away from my son.
Don't you remember how fond I was of you when you were a kid?
My husband is the only one who knows you re adopted.
I haven't even told Jaeseong, because I didn't want you to feel bad about it.
My father-in law doesn't know. Gieun doesn't know.
But that wasn't my fault
Of course not.
But can you blame me for wanting more for my son
Since he's the only one I've got?
I hear that you're wanted by sons of rich families in Korea.
What if my father-in-law finds out you're an orphan?
He wouldn't be as fond of you as he is now.
What if I find my parents?
Do you want to do that?
No.
My mother is the only one for me.
It's me.
Although I don't look the same.
I see.
This was a long time ago
so it'll take us a while to look up the files.
If you leave us your number we'll get back to you.
Why don't I take a nap and you can wake me up when you find it
I'm sorry?
I have nowhere to go anyway so I wait right here.
But...
The director of "South Sea"? No way.
Let's look him up to see What he looks like.
I'd have turned Jaeseong down flat if it weren't for Seyeong.
Wow.
Look, he's really gorgeous.
I say yes!
His looks aren't important. He has to be good
That's what you think.
Food that looks good also tastes good, you know.
He was born in 1971. How old is he?
He's 4 years older than me, so that makes him 43 born in the year of the pig.
It's too bad he's old
but I say yes...
I guess we can meet him.
Hello.
Guman, what is it?
Do you have a cold?
I guess he couldn't avoid, the popular springtime cold.
I came though I was sick, because I heard you're taking us to dinner.
Me?
You mean you weren't the one to set the date?
You said you'll treat us because your sister s going to be on TV.
We haven't had dinner together ever since the reorganization, so this is good.
What?
Now let's head out.
Head out where?
I don't remember saying that.
Are you all going?
I think this might work but...
Won't it cost a lot to shoot retro film though?
We have to build the set from scratch.
We can use the sets in the TV stations set in the 90s,
so don't worry.
Oh?
I don't know if we can cast the right people.
There's a Tibetan saying that goes,
if worrying can rid you of worries, there be no worries.
Please believe in us.
Fine, then work on the screenplay.
We'll discuss further after you write it.
Thank you!Thank you!
You got your wish to come true!
Let's get this moving.
Let's go to all the places where the 90s retro theme's still alive.
Let's go.
Kim Shinhye... Kin Shinhye...
Kim Shinhye...
Kim Shinhye
Kim Shinhye. Here we are.
Ma'am, will you wake up?
Did you find it?
Yes.
She was adopted in 1992.
Did she go to a rich family?
It doesn't say.
And even if I know that, I can't tell you.
Give me her parents' number.
I can't give you that information.
Why not? I'm her real mother.
I even brought this picture as proof.
That picture isn't real evidence.
We'll have to hear what Kim Shinhye thinks,too.
Why is this so complicated?
How long is it going to take?
I don't know.
This was a long time ago so their contact information might have changed
And her family would need Time to think,too.
Why bother?
I don't have much left to live so hurry up and get it done.
What?
I want to see her at least once before I die,
even if it's from far away.
I'm about to die soon so tell them not to wait.
Tell them to hurry up.
Cue!
Jeollanam-do's cockles are fit for the king. They re absolutely delicious.
They start laying eggs in June, and...
Stop,stop.
You can't just read off the script.
You have to work with the screen.
I'm sorry.
It's my first time...
Oh no...
Wait here.
Okay.
Yerin, is "Mamma Mia" on today?
I'll make sure to watch it.
Thank you.
Jaeseong, what is it?
I'm free now.
I'm sorry I'm so terrible at this.
Let's try our best
You're here.
Hello.
She's working on her narration
but she has trouble going along with the screen.
Do you think you can demonstrate for her?
Is this why you called me?
Is she Ilyeong's sister?
Yes.
Will you help her?
I'll treat you to dinner.
Five times, no less.
You're talking like Mr. Seo.
You sound like you love free food now.
Don't say that
You don't look much like your sister.
Yes, I was adopted.
You'll embarrass her.
Why do you look so shocked?
That's okay. I'm used to it.
Isn't that something you d rather hide?
Why? lt's nothing bad.
I'd assume you'd be embarrassed someone might find out.
It'd be more embarrassing if someone finds out later
Imagine how horrible it'll feel to walk on eggshells worrying about that
In soap operas, when someone's trying to hide a secret, you see her
acting all emotional and whacked out.
I'll read it once, is that okay?
I don't have much time.
I'm going home to watch the program with my mom.
Right, Star Family Show "Mamma Mia".
She's on that program today.
Do you know who her mother is?
Yes , she and her mother are both famous.
Let's begin.
Yeah.
Cue.
Jeollanam-do's cockles are fit for the king. They're absolutely delicious.
Cockles start laying eggs in June, so they re in season right now.
They stay buried deep in the mudflats in the winter
but come spring, they crawl up to the sand.
Let me know if you want more There's plenty of rice.
Thank you.
You don't' have to use honorifics.
How old did you say you were?
25
And you, Lyeong?
She's 35, grandma.
The first group of students you taught are his age.
You can be a little more comfortable around each other.
We're like family now so don't feel so awkward.
Yes, it'll be better if you make him feel more at ease.
I'd ask you to marry Ilyeong if you were at least 30.
Why isn't she getting married? What's wrong with her?
She's become an old maid!
She gets really mad if you call her an old maid
We were going to buy crayons last time and when
the man at the store called her that,
she got into a fight with him I didn't get my crayons.
Ilyeong may be old, but she's still so immature.
She still thinks she's a young, cute girl.
My eyes!
Ilyeong's at it again.
When she comes in, you're going to say she was adorable.
That's how you get through life.
Why do you always have to be so direct and straightforward?
I'll email you the file later
so run it a few more times at home.
Our team's all together right now. Want to come?
Your sister's probably there.
No, I d rather go home.
Okay.
Thanks for your help.
You know you owe me.
I know, Rabbit.
Well.
Yes.
See you later
Goodbye.
- Did you bring your car? - Yeah.
Let's go.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
I'm so jealous...
She's pretty and smart and her mom's so successful.
I shouldn't let that bring me down.
I can do it, too!
What about you, Seongsu?
I'm not here to dance.
I'm here to find inspiration for the past.
And besides, I prefer going to clubs than to places like this.
Look at that old lady.
I think she's the most excited one here.
She hasn't missed one song yet!
Minguk.
Jaeseong! It's been a while.
Hey, you look good.
What are you doing here?
I should be asking you that.
My coworkers are here.
Hey, I'm glad you're here.
Director Park has to leave our program
so I told our head writer about you this morning.
Really?
You finally got me!
I should join you guys.
Where are they?
Over there.
Come with me.
We had our bangs up like this,
and it mattered how high you could style your hair.
Yeah, yeah.
You kids must be bored that we're only talking about the past.
Yes.
Really?
No, this is so interesting to me!
I'm here.
- Hey. - Hey, come.
Have a seat.
Who...
I mentioned Director Lee Seongsu to you earlier.
I ran into him here.
Hello, I'm Lee Seongsu.
Yes.
You don t look much like your picture on the internet.
When was that taken?
Everyone says I look exactly like that picture.
I took that last year.
It looks like it was from ten years ago.
You should change it.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Ma'am?
I'm younger than you. I'm in my 30s.
Oh, really? Thirty what?
Thirty nine.
How's that any different from forty?
How can you say 39 is the same as 40?
Don't be like this.
Now,have a seat.
Can we have more drinks here?
Uncle,have a seat.
Sit down.
This is Star Family Show, "Mamma Mia'' where we meet the mothers of
our favorite celebrities.
Today's guests need no introduction.
They are Korea's top announcer duo
It's Lee Yerin and Kim Juhui. both successful TV announcers.
Hello.
Hello I'm Kim Juhui.
I'm Lee Yerin.
She's so pretty, right?
Yes.
Like mother, like daughter, as they say.
The longest running program you hosted.
"Open Concert"
Our favorite movie.
"Love Actually."
The dream you had of me before I was born
Peach.
That's 100! 100!
They work so well as a team.
It's as they say, like mother like daughter
Yes you're right.
I don't think mom and I could do that
They're such liars.
They came up with that fake dream, too.
You'll say that before father one of these days.
Father likes her
I don't!
What don't you like about her?
I think she's into family laundering
I've heard of money laundering but not that.
She's lying to people about being an orphan. Once she marries our son,
she'll use that to cover up her past forever.
I thought you didn't care that much about our family.
And now you think it's that important?
I don't like her.
I think I was Cinderella in my past life
and Juhui and Yerin were my stepmother and her daughter.
Wow, you're so good.
People would think you're real mother and daughter.
Yeonga!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mother.
Mother!
I'll go inside. You can keep watching.
No.
Someone must have seen the program.
Hello?
Yes, this is Kim Juhui.
I'm calling from Hope Orphanage.
Did you adopt Kim Shinhye 20 years ago?
Her birth mother has come to ask about you.
I should go.
Did you see it?
Thanks.
My mom did a great job.
Hello?
She wants to see her daughter one final time before she dies.
Would you like to meet with Kim Shinhye' s mother?
Isn't that the announcer Kim Juhui?
Yes.
My daughter's a real fan.
Do you think I can get an autograph?
Her name is Choi Seyeong.
Are you sure Seyeong's the fan
and not you?
I told them I'm quiting.
Find people to do so far But I'll stay on till they find a replacement.
Fine.
I know you're a man of your word.
Except that one time.
Bring Jihyeon along tomorrow for lunch.
I'll treat
I really want to see her.
I'm her mother and I want to see my baby.
It's only right for you to call back.
If you keep this up, her family might refuse to see you altogether.
But , I don't have much time!
