I'm sorry. The traffic was awful.
Look here, Mr. Lee.
I'm sorry
Do you think you're in a movie?
What are you doing?
Move!
I'm sorry.
What do you think you're doing?
Hurry up! You almost had our necks!
Okay.
I'm sorry. I m sorry. I m sorry.
Let's hurry up.
Standby. Cue.
Hello, this is Lee Yerin of "Talk Talk Morning Show."
We have a great show for you today filled with sights to see and
food to love and things to enjoy.
What is wrong with that woman?
She tossed out her daughter and now she wants her liver?
I think she was planning this from the beginning.
We should never have agreed to meet her
What are you going to do?
What if she really decides to call a reporter?
I bet she will.
Quiet.
I can't hear myself think with you talking.
Are you becoming more like Yeonga?
Why are you crying?
Why aren't you at the hospital?
Mother, I can t stay with that woman.
She should be renamed "the nag".
All she does is scream curse all night long!
I don t know why I have to sit there and take that kind of abuse!
Don t cry, don't cry.
I'll go today.
You can rest at home. Okay?
What do we do?
Where did you go, you wretched thing!
It's time for my daughter to be on!
Lift this bed and turn on the TV!
I can't die and leave that pretty girl behind.
I'm not going to die. I won't die.
Should I turn on the TV so we can watch Yerin?
No.
Get some rest.
You stay home today.
I'll go to the hospital.
Can't we just tell Yerin the truth?
She should be nursing her mother, not us.
But that woman is asking for Yerin's liver.
That's up to Yerin to decide.
It's not our place to tell her what to do.
It's no use what we tell Jang Mihwa.
But if Yerin tells her she's not giving up her liver,
what more could she do?
I don t think it's smart of us to waste time like this.
How have you been, Dr. Kim?
Are you free today?
There's something I'd like to ask you.
Yes, that's fine.
Yes, I'll see you then.
You want to share two movies that best represent the 90s?
Yes, the first movies I've picked are "The Killer" and "A Moment of Romance".
These two movies starring Chow Yun Fatt and Andy Lau, who were the biggest
actors of the 90s Hong Kong Renaissance.
Yes, I really loved Chow Yun Fatt then.
Every man I know wore a trench coat because of him.
And they all had a matchstick between their lips
Seongsu is pretty good. He doesn't even look nervous.
Yeah.
Isn't he good?
Why would he be nervous in front of a camera? He's a movie director.
He should at least be that good.
If he makes a mistake, I'm firing his butt.
There's a reason guys are such huge fans of Lee Yerin.
She's perfect.
She'd make a great addition to the Han family.
Uncle looks pretty good on TV right?
My side of the family has big features so we look good on camera.
I used to be called Elizabeth Taylor of the anchor world.
But that means nothing now.
Auntie, let's have some boiled pork for lunch today.
And make some acorn jelly with cold noodles.
Okay.
You're going to eat all that?
Who cares? I'm not on a diet.
Misuk, perhaps you're eating too much.
It's okay, father.
Auntie, and fry some potato cakes for me.
Okay.
These herbs are ever changing.
Do you see how pretty and colorful these flowers are?
Seyeong's much prettier than those flowers.
Don't you think so?
What if her real parents show up to say they're taking her away?
Why would you say that?
If you love your child too much,
they say the skies might take her away from you.
I'm only saying that because you're too fond of her.
Why would you worry about something that hasn't happened?
Just watch the show.
This weekend, we invite you to heal your tired souls with
a lovely bunch of herbs.
I think I have a cold. What should I do?,
Guman's going off script again.
I told him to see a doctor after the show!
They say lavender and chamomile are good for sore throats.
And the spring sunshine can help boost your immune system
so why don't you head out to a park for some mixed rice with herbs? '
Seyeong's totally made for TV.
She also does a lot of research on the featured topics.
Will you get the VCR for the next segment?
I hope "Talk Talk Morning Show" has been helpful in some way.
We hope you have a great weekend.
and we'll see you next week.
- Thank you. - I'm stuck here.
They're waiting for me to die.
But that won't happen.
What brings you here, Ms. Kim?
You look as young as ever.
Oh, that's not true.
How are you?
Fine. Have a seat.
It's always the same for me.
What brings you here?
You said you have something to ask me.
Yes, actually,
It's about Jang Mihwa, the patient in 522.
How did you know she was here?
I actually know her.
I hear she needs a liver transplant.
Yes.
We're waiting for a donor.
She says she has a daughter
Is there another way to make this happen?
Can we look for another donor?
Or maybe receive a liver from a brain dead patient?
We can put her on the list, but she'd be at the bottom of the list
To be honest she's in bad shape, so she doesn't have much time.
It's getting more urgent by the day.
If you won't come to see me, I'll go see you.
Seyeong, you're so good at this!
I always get nervous when someone goes off the script.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Good job!
You should compliment Seyeong, not me.
She's getting better every time.
Since when do you praise other people?
Jaeseong.
We've decided to be friends.
Right, Seyeong?
Yes.
I even asked my stylist to get her the outfit
I want us to be good friends.
I have something to do.
Will you buy her something good to eat?
Okay.
I have to go now.
Bye.
Are you going to have lunch with us later?
Sure.
- Wait - Yes?
Jeonghyo.
Hey.
You were so good today.
I hear you're leaving.
That's too bad.
We can still keep in touch.
Let's go out to lunch.
Are you free?
Oh, I'm sorry but I have go to Daegu.
Why Daegu?
I need to go to the orphanage I grew up in.
Oh.
Then promise you'll have lunch with me next time?
Promise.
Have you left yet?
I'm on my way now.
Taxi!
Yerin, I enjoyed your show.
Thank you.
Taxi, taxi!
What are you doing?
I'm trying to catch a cab.
If you won't let me see my daughter,
I'm going to the TV network to see her.
Let's go inside and talk.
Talk about what?
You're only going to ask me to wait.
No, I'm going to go see her myself.
Taxi!
Why are you being so selfish?
Who's being 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
If you want to live come with me.
I didn't ask for your liver!
Or your son's liver!
This is my own daughter!
It's up to her to decide whether to give it to me or not!
Why are you stopping me?
This is what I don't understand.
Most mothers cry when their daughters merely scrape their knees.
But you find it so easy to ask for your daughter's liver.
You saw Yerin.
How can you think of opening up that small frail body of hers?
What if something happens to her, although the procedure is said to be safe?
And she's going to be left with a scar.
I know that.
Don't you think I thought of that?
But she's so pretty. I want to be with her.
I want to stay with her a long time.
I cant just die when I know I have a chance at life.
Do you think it s easy for me to lie here and wait?
I know what I've done wrong in the past.
I feel it's so unfair.
I can't die like this.
Even if I do, I'd never be able to rest in peace.
Will you please let me see her?
If she says no, I'll just die quietly.
Let me see her face one last time and hold her hand.
There's so much I have wanted to do with her.
I want to get our hair done and pick out each other's clothes.
I was always jealous of mothers who hung out with their daughters.
When I think of that, I don't think I can die in peace.
Fine, I'll talk to her.
Really?
Give me the weekend to do so.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I'll wait quietly and not cause any trouble.
Thank you so much.
Oh no.
The bulletin board is full of people badmouthing Seongsu
Let's see.
Even his face is as sad as "Sad Sea".
Give me back the $8 I spent on the movie ticket.
If I were him I'd have killed myself
People are so mean.
This is why he's infamous as the director of "Sad Sea".
Don't keep saying that.
He didn't want his movie to fail did he?
And besides, you weren t always on hit programs, either.
You've been on programs that were cut.
Seolhui was. That's why she came here.
We're working together from now on.
so instead of calling him "Sad Sea" let's call him
the director of "Success Sea".
Okay.
Thank you.
What are people saying?
Are people saying that I recommended the right movies?
Yeah, pretty much.
Since we're done, let's go out to eat
Okay.
Let me see the comments.
Why would you bother?
What? Let me see the comments.
What's wrong?
People are being mean on the internet.
Why did you insist on reading those?
Don't worry about that. Let's go.
I'll buy.
No, I should get going.
I was nervous, and now, I have a stomachache.
Let's just go.
Uncle, don't worry about those comments.
That's how it is with all TV shows.
Yeah.
When I was on my first show.
people wrote that my face was too big and that my hairstyle was awful.
Don't worry about me.
I've been through this after my movie tanked.
The great Shakespeare once said
that if you can help something you can't help but forget it.
Let bygones be bygones.
In the past, it was said people who like to talk can drown and their lips
will float to the surface but now, their fingers would float instead.
These anonymous people are writing vicious comments on the web
because they know they can't be seen.
Yeah.
But we still have to keep the bulletin board.
Come on. I told you I'm fine.
Should we go to a karaoke after we grab some food?
Let's think of it as a work thing.
What do you think?
Sounds great.
The karaoke's on me!
How can she ask for $100,000 when she's just debuted?
I'll make sure to lower that down.
Just you watch.
Okay.
There she is.
Hello, I'm Jeon Juhyeon.
Well?
Aren't we going to sign the contract?
What?
But this is $100,000
She deserves it.
Juhyeon, we hope you'll do a fine job on our movie
It's a good thing we got her.
I think she's worth the $100,000.
Thank you for the contract.
I'll do my best
Yes.
And call me when you're doing the readings and when you're
- going to dinner - Yeah.
" Enginevering 101" Lee Seongsu
Is Director Lee Seongsu making another movie?
Yeah, he wants to shoot another film.
Oh.
I hope it goes well this time.
It has to go well.
But now that we've cast Jeon Juhyeon,
we have to cast a male star who's of that caliber.
That means we're going to go over budget.
I'll have to lower production costs for the other movies.
- Give me that. - Yeah.
I said I'll go.
No.
You're tired.
I have to empty her urine bag. Men can't do that
I'll go instead.
No.
Yeonga.
Yerin, it's been a while.
Are you home for good?
No! I'm leaving again.
What's going on?
My brother's sick.
I have to take care of him.
Is he very sick?
Should I go visit him?
No, there's no need for that.
That'll make things worse.
What?
Nothing. Don't worry.
Where are you?
I'm getting on the bus soon.
Okay.
Call me back after you find something
I'll be waiting.
Jaeseong's such a great singer.
He's set the right mood.
Who's going next?
The next song up is mine.
What's that song?
I don't know.
Be quiet
This is my uncle's favorite song.
He thinks he's Leslie Cheung.
Not again.
Ugh.
My sister's screen name Audrey Hepburn.
Should we go for more drinks?
I'm going home.
Me, too.
Why don't we call it a night.
and have some fun at Jeonghyo's farewell party?
Goodnight, Jaeseong.
- Let s go, Seyeong. - Wait.
I need to talk to Seyeong.
Me?
You can say it here.
It's not something we can stand around and discuss.
I need to speak to you in private.
Are you going to profess your love to her?
Who would do that like this? In front of everyone?
It's about work
Then go ahead. I'll see you later.
Okay
You didn't forget our meeting on Monday, right?
Think of some good movies to introduce.
Okay.
Bye then.
See you Monday.
- Let s go, Seyeong. - Okay.
What is it?
I have a favor to ask.
What is it?
It's a long story.
But if I were to get to the point...
Do you think you can be a tutor for my mom?
What would I teach your mom?
She used to be a TV announcer who worked with Kim Juhui.
Oh.
She quit after she was married
but I think she regrets that now.
She wants to be a host on the home shopping network
but things aren't going well.
She's very depressed these days
so maybe you can come see her twice a week
and teach her how to be a great shopping host.
How can I do that?
I'm just studying to be an announcer
Why don't you ask Yerin for help?
Because my mom can't get too good at this.
What?
To be honest, all you need to do is pretend like you're teaching her.
I just need someone who can be a friend and help her feel better.
I promise the pay will be good.
I like Jaeseong.
Do you think you can help me?
I'm not going to do anything else,
and focus on passing the announcer exam.
I'm sorry.
Well, if you're going to study for the exam, I can't stop you.
You're still going to work at reporting, right?
Yes.
Take care then.
No, I'll give you a ride.
That's okay.
There's fruit and meat.
All that's left is for you and me to fry the cakes.
I'm so sick and tired of services.
I've seen peaches sold in stores
Can't we offer up peaches instead of apples or pears?
You're not supposed to offer peaches at a memorial serice.
Why not?
Because there's a myth that says peaches chase away the spirits.
So you don't offer those at memorial services.
Why do you always peel the chestnuts before offering them when
you don't peel any of the other fruit?
Because chestnuts get eaten by bugs more than any other nuts
so we peel them to see if they're good and fresh.
There is nothing you don't know!
I learned all this after I became daughter-in-law in this family.
I never wanted to know any of it
The girl who has to marry Jaeseong has to know these things.
That's right.
Jaeseong has to hurry up and get married
so I can start living my life and stop doing this nonsense
I don't know why he's not thinking of getting married.
It's not that he doesn't want to It's he can't
Who would want to marry into a family like this?
Besides Yerin.
Don't even bring her up.
She can't marry your brother
Why not?
Because.
Don't ask me why.
She can't.
Are you busy?
Jeonghyo, what are you doing here?
You already came on Children's Day.
I was inthe neighborhood and I thought I'd stop by.
Are you very busy?
Oh, it's the same old thing.
Want to have some dinner?
Sure.
I'll done soon
so sit here and wait.
Okay.
Are you saying you'll make bread with this?
Yes.
What do you think?
It's hard to get it right on the first try but this is good.
Very good.
- I'm back. - Jiyeon.
Why does,jihyeon look so sad?
Since it's family month, her school
is having an event tomorrow where the kids have a ceremony with their dads.
What kind of ceremony?
It's where they wash each other's feet.
Why are they having it on a Sunday?
To get more dads to participate.
But they get Monday off.
Don't worry about her. I'll go.
But you're way too old for that.
Would Jihyeon like it if you volunteer?
What?
There are some kids whose moms
will be going instead.
I'm going for her so don't worry.
I like the idea
but what about kids who don't moms or dads?
This is why I hated it
when I was told to bring my parents to school.
I should go play a word game with Jihyeon.
This one in the middle is for Jihyeon only.
Nobody touch it.
Eat up, Jihyeon.
I'm done eating.
Is Jihyeon sick?
No.
Her school s having a bring your dad to school day tomorrow.
She's been upset about that.
Does she have to go?
I hear some kids don't go to that.
She doesn't want to do that, either.
You know how proud she is.
Why don't we all go instead?
That's okay.
She'll feel better afterwards.
Jihyeon will end up getting hurt because of her downbeat dad.
I feel so bad for her.
Hojong, its me.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Can you help me with something?
Here.
I'm done.
Have some more.
You barely had a few bites.
I'm okay.
You go and eat something.
I can have some bread.
Mother told me not to leave you alone.
I won't go anywhere.
Don't worry and go eat.
You go ahead and eat.
I'll stay with her
I'm not going to run.
I'm sorry I screamed at you before.
Why are you being so nice?
If I get to live,
I'm going to quit drinking and live my life right.
What?
Kim Juhui said she's going to tell Yerin about me.
My mom said that?
Yes.
Eat up.
Okay.
You haven't cooked dinner for me in a while.
You're right.
Here.
That's okay.
I don't want to gain weight.
You can stand to gain some.
You're so skinny.
Hurry up and eat.
Okay
Want to go out to have a nice dinner tomorrow?
That'd be great.
Where should we go?
What do you want to eat?
What about you?
I'm fine with anything.
Then I'll make reservations.
Okay.
Enjoy.
Eat up.
You don t have places like this in Seoul that sells cow intestines, right?
There are but they don't taste the same.
This is what I missed most when I was in Seoul.
I knew it. That's why I said we should come here
This place takes me back.
And I wonder how the other kids are doing now.
I can find out for you.
If I look them up, I'm sure I could get in touch with some.
That's okay.
No news is good news. I'm'sure they're all doing well.
Yeah.
I remember Shinhye. She was really pretty.
Shinhye? Kim Shinhye?
Yeah.
How do you know her?
She was adopted before you came.
Her mother came looking for her not long ago.
Her mother?
Yeah.
She made a big fuss, so I still remember her
Do you know who her mother is?
Who?
Jang Mihwa, one of the most famous porn stars in the past.
Jang Mihwa, the porn star?
I don't want to see that kid who works at the bakery
He was sent to prison for assault.
She had an affair with a film director
as a DUI. She has a hit and run.
And she did drugs.
Did you talk to the person at the orphanage?
He said it'll take him a few days.
You're not lying to me, are you?
What if Yerin says she won't give you her liver?
What?
Why would she want to give her liver to a mom
Who left her?
