Jaeseong and I are childhood friends.
and our families are close.
Did you hear hear he's the oldest grandson of a head family?
Yes, my sister-told me he lives with his grandfather.
Those head families are very particular about their daughters-in- law.
His grandfather loves me, and I go see him very often
I see.
I wish you two all the best.
Do you think you can help me?
We're are same age. Should we drop the honorifics?
I don't think I'd be comfortable with that...
If you pass the announcer exam, you'll be working under me, so...
How are things coming along with that?
I don't attend any of the academies
but I'm studying hard for the exam.
I'm only telling you this
but people don't like announcers who've gone to academies.
Even after they pass, the girls tend to keep that a secret.
Didn't you attend an academy?
I saw your picture on a website.
That's because the director is mom's friend
I'm only letting them use me to advertise.
You can do this on your own, no problem.
So let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Thank you.
Are you going home instead of heading to the meeting room?
Yeah.
I told you we should grab dinner. why did you leave like that?
My dad told me to come home early.
I asked a friend to help you get a reporter job.
so I'll let you know when he calls.
No, I got a job so you don't need to worry.
My bus is here. I have to go.
I don't need to get involved with Jaeseong after what Yerin said.
Seyeong got a job?
Yeah.
Didn't you know she interviewed to work a night shift at a convenience store.
What?
I told her not to do that but she won't listen.
She must have had a lot of jobs.
That's why she graduated so late.
She went to college when our family was struggling
I feel so bad whenever I see her.
Where's Jaeseong?
He's in a meeting.
Mr. Seo told me he interviewed another FD.
When are you quitting?
I'm leaving after next week, after I've taught the replacement.
What are you doing tonight?
Nothing. Why?
I thought we could grab dinner before you leave.
I 'don't know when I might see you again.
I'll call you later
Where's your wife?
She went home.
She has to rest.
Where's Kim Juhui?
She's at work.
She doesn't have much free time.
Do you think I have all the free time in the world to sit here and wait for her?
I'm about to die soon.
Are you really thinking of going for a liver transplant?
Of course.
Do I look like I'm kidding?
How can you say that to Yerin?
What about how she'd feel?
You told us you'd only watch her from afar!
Why did you change your mind?
I'm sick! Why are you yelling at me you bastard?
Do you have children of your own?
No.
Well then, have some.
It was different back when I didn't know her
Do you think it's easy leaving your own daughter behind?
This is so annoying!
Why am I even doing this?
Yerin
Hello?
Yeonga, it's me.
Where are you?
Home.
Are you back?
No, I'm heading out soon.
I'll be right there. I need to see you.
Or should we go somewhere nice?
Should we go for a drive?
I'm not in any mood to go for a drive.
I have to go now.
If I see Yerin now, I swear I'm going to tell her what's going on.
I'll tell her everything.
This must be really serious.
Yes?
Are you busy?
A little.
Is something the matter?
I think something's going on with Minguk and Yeonga.
I just spoke to her on the phone,
and she said she's home now but she's leaving again.
I spoke to her, too.
It's not a big problem don't worry.
I don't know.
I told you it's fine.
Just do your work.
Go.
Minguk.
I said go.
Okay.
Hello?
Yeonga's home now.
Why didn't you tell me that?
Are you at the hospital?
Yeah.
She's demanding to know when you're coming.
She keep asking me to call you.
She might do something crazy.
I don't think I can leave Yeonga here alone with her.
Yeah.
Where's Yerin?
Okay, mom.
Hello?
It's me. When are you getting here?
We're not done talking!
- Why are you doing this.? - Get off me!
I need to see you!
If you don't come here, I'm talking to the reporters!
Jang Mihwa, don't do this.
This isn't what we promised.
I'll go see you after I'm done with work.
Please don't harass my kids anymore.
I have to go.
Why are Minguk and Yeonga with Jang Mihwa?
Yerin.
Yerin?
What's wrong? Why are you so distracted?
Don t you have radio show to do?
Right.
How did it go with Minguk?
He said he went to see a friend but he didn't go into details.
I think he went to see that woman.
I can t believe he's having an affair with a dying woman.
This is so interesting.
Why don't we scrap "Civil Engineering 101"
and go with this story instead?
No.
You know how much l have invested in this project.
Fine, fine.
How's the screenplay coming along?
I finished the treatment.
Did you make sure to lower the budget?
Yes, I tried to keep it all day scenes.
We won't do any overseas shoots.
even if we leave Seoul, we probably go to Yangpyeong or Jangheung.
I made sure we won't go over budget.
Yes, you won't get a good movie just because you put money into it.
Yeah, it's me. How'd it go?
How much?
$100,000?
Are you kidding me?
Fine, I'll solve this myself.
Set up a meeting.
I don't believe this!
Who's asking for $100,000?
Jeon Juhyeon, that actress who hit it big this time around.
I'm trying to cast her for this new teenage movie done by Lee Mincheol.
She's asking for $100,000 because she knows she's gaining in fame.
If they decide to do a sequel to that movie, even a nobody
as the main character would would ask for a pay raise.
Why is everyone demanding at least $100,000?
Are you going to give it to her?
That's crazy!
I can't believe I have to solve these matters myself.
Aren't you seeing anyone?
No.
What do you like in a woman?
Well...
What about Ilyeong?
What?
She's too old, isn't she?
Oh, she has to get married soon.
Aside from the fact she eats meat and drinks,
she's no different from nuns or monks.
She can't even find a man to date. I feel so bad for her.
Where's my son anyway?
He said he's going for a haircut at a beauty salon
But he always gets those $5 haircuts at his barbershop.
Why did he go to a beauty salon?
You look like you're ten years younger.
Right?
I get that often
I see...
I was so pretty when I was young
but my father didn't let me walk around until I was 5 years old.
He carried me around everywhere.
Oh, I need to use the bathroom...
Okay.
Hello.
I could swear he was here.
Who?
The cute guy.
Oh, he's in the bathroom.
He'll be here soon.
Hello.
What's this bread called?
It's peanut cream streusel bread.
It's got peanut butter cream inside.
And this?
This is curry bread,
and it tastes way better if you warm it up.
Hello
The bread here is so good?
Maybe I should have some chocolate pastry for dinner.
Ah, now I see why these women are coming here.
They're using bread as an excuse to come see Donguk.
I don't care why they come as long as they buy the bread.
I'm almost running out of cosmetics.
I have to leave so they can buy more things from him.
You didn't say you were quitting, so I thought you were staying on.
Yeah, this is so sad.
We didn't even get to go to a karaoke.
Why don't we have a beer then go sing?
I'm sorry but I have plans.
Let's have a big farewell party later.
I know this place called "The March of Youth".
I love that place!
- Okay then. I'm off. - Bye.
Ugh, I hate that Stupid old club.
They only play songs from the 70s and 80s.
If she suggests we go there next time,
let's ail veto her, okay?
You're going to say, "I love that place!" Right?
I'm starving...
No, I have to fight this so I can be on TV.
I'm home.
Son, you're home early!
I have to go out early tomorrow. I have a broadcast.
Did you talk to your friend from the home shopping network?
Did you give him my number?
Oh, that.
Mom, I don't think you can be a shopping host yet.
Why not?
There are lots of celebrities who do it, who used to be Miss Korea.
And there are women who took classes for years. The competition is fierce.
You've been out of work for so long
that you don't exactly fit the trend of the times.
Are you saying I can't get the job?
Can't you just stay home and watch TV instead?
Whatever!
Mom, mom, are you okay?
Let go of me!
Auntie, I'm done with my diet.
I'm going to start eating my dinner now
so make enough to go around.
Jeonghyo's quitting as FD?
Yeah.
He'll do tomorrow broadcast then leave after next week.
That means tomorrow is his last day.
When did you get so close to him? ,
You're talking like you're old friends.
He grew up in an orphanage.
We have this connection.
Choi Seyeong.
Yeah.
I didn't say this to you before
but I 'don't like it when I hear you
going around telling people that you grew up an orphan.
But that's not...
I know you're only trying to be confident about who you are.
But when you say those things, it breaks my heart.
Ilyeong
When were you ever at an orphanage?
I don't remember you being in one.
Who was the one that carried you? back? It was me.
You're my baby sister and that's never going to change.
Yes, I'm dad's baby girl.
Jaeseong tells me you're going around looking for work?
You heard?
I told you not to do that.
I told you not to do any tough work.
Why won t you listen to me?
I decided not to.
If I catch you doing that kind of work, you're in for it!
Just focus on passing the announcer exam.
That's the best way you can give back to your family.
Okay.
Is dinner ready?
Yes.
- Ask dad to come. - Okay.
Wow, you're so good!
Let me try.
Jihyeon, you're so good at that!
Now wash your hands so we can eat.
Okay!
Come, let's eat.
No, mom. I'll eat later.
Food tastes better with company.
Then I'll stay here with you so we can eat later,
when Donguk comes.
No, I'm fine on my own. You can go ahead.
We can eat together later.
Mother, I'm sorry but I hope you stop coming to the store as often.
What?
We don't have as many customers in
the store when you're there. People call it the old folks' home.
They don't come to buy bread.
We get more sales when I'm at the store alone as opposed
to when you're here.
What did you say?
I knew you were soft but now I see you're completely clueless!
People come for the bread not because of you, but because of Donguk!
Think about it!
You can go sit out here but it won't add a cent to your sales
so just come have dinner.
You'll only make the girls set the table twice.
Is that why you went to the beauty parlor to get your hair done?
I don't believe you.
You and I are both old folks, you hear?
You've got to be kidding me.
Your father thinks he's selling more bread because of him.
He doesn't know it's all thanks to Donguk.
You knew about this, right?
Mother, stop it!
You're the only one who didn't know you're a part of the old folks club!
Why are you eating all the quail eggs yourself?
You've already had four! I saw you!
I'm sorry.
Jihyeon likes quail eggs, too!
No, I don't, grandpa.
Picky eating is not good for you, Jihyeon!
I think I had too much to eat at lunch. I'm done!
Oh, this is so humiliating!
Will you bring out more rice a big mixing bowl?
I'm going to eat some more rice the leftover sauce.
Okay.
I thought you were on some kind of duking diet.
Since we're on the subject, even if you do have babies,
don't you ever use
cloth diapers, you hear me?
Why are you talking about diapers. when we're eating?
Because my own son is turning his back on me.
Do you understand, Gieun?
I never thought of using cloth diapers.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Will you chop up some kimchi and make me some fried rice?
Okay.
Oh this is so spicy.
I feel so bad for mom.
She was on cloud nine, thinking she'd be back to work again.
Don't you think you can help her sign up for shopping host classes?
She has guests to entertain and services to cook for.
Even if I sign her up, she'd miss half the classes.
Then ask Yerin to teach her.
She's an announcer so she'd do a good job.
If mom ends up a shopping host dad's going to kill me.
Why don't you hire a reporter who can tutor her?
Don't you know of any reporters?
Reporters.
What are you going to do after you quit.
Go back to work at the galbi place.
I have a lot of job offers so don't worry about me.
Did you try looking up your parents after you left the orphanage?
I registered my DNA but they haven't come for me yet.
I guess they're either dead or they don't want to see me.
If I knew where their graves are,
I'd go pour some soju on holidays.
Aren't you mad at them? They abandoned you.
I'm over that.
I think that they must have had a reason to leave me.
It feels better to think that way.
Don't you want to look for your real family?
Why would I? That'd be crazy to do.
But they gave you life.
Don't you want to see your mom?
You're not a mother just because you gave birth.
If I'm thankful to her for one thing,
it's that she left me after she had me.
I don't want to look her up and I never will.
Have you ever gone to our old orphanage?
Yeah
I go on Children's Day and on Christmas.
Why?
No reason.
Then you must know the employees there.
Yeah. Why do you ask?
No reason.
I just suddenly thought of them.
Call Kim Juhui.
What's taking her so long?
She's not your friend.
Don't say her name like that.
Well, what's taking her so long to get here?
She's here!
Hi!
Will you leave us?
Okay.
Did you give it some thought?
The doctor came this morning to ask when my donor was coming.
When we first met at that Japanese restaurant
Yerin heard people talk about what you used to do.
About what?
About how you lived your life, and what you did in the past.
I hoped she'd never find out.
Even if she were to find out later that you're her mother,
I wanted her to only remember the good things.
Are you saying I'm a bad woman?
How dare you judge me and how I lived my life?
I did my best!
I worked hard but I ended up like this.
You said you understood it all before.
Yerin's not my real daughter
but I took care of her and loved her as much as I could.
How am I supposed to explain this to her now?
How can tell her to give up her liver the woman who left her?
I'll make it up to her later.
You'll leave her again. You left her once before.
I told you I'll change! That's why I want to live!
Do you think I was happy after I left my own daughter?
She appeared in my dreams even though I'd never seen her!
Every time I saw a little girl her age, I thought of her.
Do you know how that feels? My heart would break every time!
Do you know how it feels to miss your daughter
like that? Can you even guess the amount of pain?
Yes!
Why do you think I don't know?
What's wrong with her?
I don't know.
Yeonju, Yeonju, Yeonju... Yeonju...
- Don't cry. - Yeonju...
You'll find her soon. It's going to be okay.
Yeonju... Yeonju...
Yeonju, I'm going to find you.
Yerin said she'll ask her stylist to pick out clothes for you?
Yeah, but I'm still going to bring an outfit just in case.
Good thinking.
She might bring you something really ugly.
I don't think so.
I realized today why she was being so cold to me.
Why?
Why else would women fight? It's all because of boys.
She told me she likes Han Jaeseong.
She asked me to help her.
She didn't like me because she thought we were growing close.
What?
She's basically marking her territory.
Yeah.
Don 't you have feelings for that producer?
It doesn't matter. We'd never work.
Why not?
His family's a head family.
They'll be very careful about choosing a daughter-in-law
but I'm an orphan.
I'll never make the cut
That's stupid.
Daughters-in-law in head families have to work like slaves.
I wouldn't want you marrying into a family like that.
Me, neither
Like I said,
I'm going to marry a man who can live in the same house with dad.
And I'm going to take care of all of grandma and grandpa's services.
Yes, I believe in you.
Lyeong.
Can't you say that you think I'll marry first?
Can't you say that we should all try to put faith in me?
Ilyeong, you're not in any place to pick and choose.
When a man says he'll marry you, you should go, no questions asked.
What did you say?
You come over here!
How dare you!
Stop!
Ilyeong!
Ah...
Why are you having fried cakes and rice wine at this hour?
This is going to go straight to your thighs.
I thought you were on a diet.
No way.
Want a drink?
Oh, you're going to be on TV.
I'll drink, since I'm not going on TV.
It's no use having a son...
No use washing his diapers...
You didn't get that job oh the home shopping network?
You should never get married.
Or rather, you should get married
but you should never have kids.
It s no use having children.
You're late.
I was with some friends.
Yeonga and Minguk aren't home yet.
Don't worry about them.
Do as I say.
And go to bed.
Mom.
Yes?
About Jang Mihwa, whom we met at the Japanese restaurant?
What about her?
Is she coming on the talk show?
You said you met her to ask her to come on the show.
No, she said she couldn't do it so I said it was fine.
You should go to bed. I'm pretty tired myself, too.
Okay, goodnight.
I know a woman who's a fan of yours
She's asking to have lunch with you.
It's seaweed soup.
That's the only soup I can make.
Don't do this, Jang Mihwa.
This isn't what we promised.
Don't you think of your mother on days like this?
Yerin, why did you ask to see me?
You said you still go to our old orphanage, right?
Yeah, but why do you keep asking about that?
I'm sorry but do you think you can go back there for me?
Why?
Do you think you can ask them if anyone came to see Kim Shinhye?
But why...
Please, don't ask me any questions.
Please, just do this for me like you always have.
You're the only one I can ask for help right now.
When do I need to go?
What about today?
Mom, let s go to the beauty salon later
then go watch a movie.
No.
Come on.
I already bought the tickets.
Fine.
Where are you going?
I'm having my first show today.
What's with the shopping bag?
I'm bringing some clothes with me.
I have to go prepared.
Bye.
I'm not going to the movies. You go.
Why did uncle do that?
Mom, let's go.
Seyeong, your face is tanned so that color looks good on you.
Thank you.
Aren t you glad you wore what I gave you?
But this is a dress my dad bought for me...
You can wear it for your announcer interview
Your dad will be happy if you pass the exam wearing that dress.
What if I don't look as pretty on camera?
Isn't Lee Seongsu here yet?
We should make people pay a fine if they're late and save it for dinner.
We only have 10 minutes.
Yeah.
Shouldn't we go check?
I'm sorry.
He's almost here.
He'll be here before we go live.
There he is.
I'm sorry The traffic was awful and...
Listen, Seongsu.
I'm sorry.
Do you think you can come to
my place and tutor my mom on becoming a home shopping host?
I can't do that
Why don't you ask Yerin to do that?
That's my uncle s favorite song.
He thinks he's Leslie Cheung.
Taxi!
What are you doing?
I'm going to the TV station.
Why are you being so selfish?
I know you're trying to steal my daughter from me after I'm dead!
You're the one who's selfish, you child thieving bitch!
