Shinhye's mother is who?
Jang Mihwa, the porn star.
She was the star of "Lady Cherry".
She took all her clothes off in that movie.
Oh, you might not know because you were young.
She was famous in my day.
And her personal life was a mess.
I heard she had an affair with a married movie director.
Then she was caught doing drugs and also had a DUI.
And she's Shinhye's mother?
Yeah.
She brought a picture of the girl with us,
and it was the same as the one in Shinhye's files.
Why do you ask?
Do you still keep in touch with Shinhye?
What? No. We lost touch a long time ago.
So what happened with that?
She exchanged phone numbers with the adoptive family,
but I don t know if they got a chance to meet.
Hurry up and eat. It's burning!
- What a waste. - Okay.
It's citron tea.
Thanks.
I'd like to read.
Okay.
Is mom in her study?
Yeah.
Where were you?
You didn't have a meeting with Director Lee today.
I went to visit my brother-in-law at the hospital.
And is Yeonga still there?
Yeah, she has to stay there for a while.
I have to tell mom.
I know a lady who says she's a fan of yours.
She asked me to have lunch with you.
It's seaweed soup.
That's the only thing I can make well.
Don't do this, Jang Mihwa.
This isn't what we promised.
Don't you think of your real mom on days like this?
Something's not right...
Is it true you're going to tell Yerin the truth?
Yes.
Mom.
If you know a better way, I like to hear it.
I barely stopped Jang Mihwa from going to see Yerin herself.
There's nothing I can do.
This is Yerin's battle now.
Jang Mihwa
Shocking News! Lady Cherry, Jang Mihwa Affair with Married Director Kim Gitae
She had an affair with a married man
and got into a drunk driving accident and hit and run...
And she did drugs!
What's all this?
How can a woman like this be Shinhye's mother?
Shinhye
Hello?
Where are you?
Daegu.
Did you talk to the person at the orphanage?
I came without calling ahead. The administrator's on a business trip.
You didn't get to see him?
No.
When is he coming back?
He said he'll take a few days but I'm not sure.
You're not lying to me, are you?
Why would I lie to you?
When are you getting back?
It's late so I'm going to stay here the night and come back tomorrow.
May I see you in Seoul?
When? Tomorrow's Sunday.
Do you have anything else to do?
It won't take that long.
Call me before you get here.
Okay.
What did Jaeseong say?
Nothing much.
He said he'll try to find part time work for me.
What did you tell him?
I said no.
Yerin said she has feelings for him
and asked me not to get too close to him.
I don't want to get involved.
If you're interested, you can try to be with that producer
and not worry about Yerin.
I'm not marrying into a head family.
Like I said, I'm going to marry a man who can live with us
and who can take care of our family's memorial services.
So you can marry whomever you want to marry.
Well, I don't know if that's up to me to decide
but thanks anyway.
Why didn't you get into a fight with Seongsu today?
You always do.
I'm not some fighting rooster. I don't always get into fights
And besides he doesn't seem like such a bad person
And he sings well
I enjoyed the broadcast.
Thank you.
How was the response?
I checked the website and there were lots of negative comments.
Don't worry about that.
The response was positive.
We got a lot of ARS calls from people who wanted to vote
for the best movie scene.
I think he'll do well.
I'll use this opportunity to make the next movie a success.
Actually, I was going to ask you to come down to the office tomorrow.
We need to discuss work.
Okay.
Where's Misuk?
She's not happy for some reason. She's in her room.
He gets to go on TV and is congratulated
and I'm stuck here like this.
Mom.
Mom, you're too busy with housework these days
to attend classes on becoming a home shopping host.
I know. That's why I said I won't do it.
So I came up with a good idea.
Good idea?
I'll look for a tutor who can teach you how to be on TV.
Tutor?
I said I want to be on TV, not to go back to college.
No, this tutor can tell you what the latest trends are on TV
and she can teach you how home shopping hosts are different
from TV announcers.
Really?
Yeah, but don t tell grandpa or dad this.
Of course.
I'm so glad I changed those cloth diapers for you.
You weren't potty trained until you were 4 years old and...
Will you stop talking about that?
If you do, I'm not getting you that tutor.
Fine, fine.
You're the best
It's not easy being a grandson in a head family and also be a good son.
What if I never get married?
You seem to be in a good mood today.
Yes.
- Get some rest. - Okay.
Are you that happy?
I'm going to live. Of course I'm happy.
What if Yerin says she won't give you her liver?
What?
It's possible.
Why would she give her liver to the mom who left her?
She'll probably leave you to die
Ow!
I thought I'd lose my lips!
Why did you pinch me? You said you'd behave
Why did you start with me?
You're always a problem. You don't know when to shut up.
Do you harass my daughter with that mouth of yours?
No.
I can tell.
If I weren't a patient, I'd have killed you.
Ugh.
I'm going to tell Yerin not to give her the liver.
Are you going to the hospital?
Yeah.
Is he very sick?
It's not that bad.
I think he'll get better soon.
Did you make dinner plans?
Yes, remember Tiffany where we went last time?
I made reservations for 7. Is that okay
Okay, I'll meet you there.
I have some plans during the day.
Okay.
Why're you sighing like that?
I'm worried about my brother-in-law.
Eat, eat.
It's me. I'm leaving now.
Let's meet at 3.
I have plans before then.
Okay.
Bye.
Here, happy birthday.
These came out great.
And they smell great, too.
Yeah, they came out better than I thought.
Yeah.
Wow, what's this great smell?
Do you like it?
Donguk made the bread.
The bread needs to cool before you can have a bite.
Then I'll eat it later.
Are you in a better mood today?
Yeah, I feel better after smelling the bread.
Bye, grandpa, Donguk
Bye
- Bye. - Bye.
This is the whole reason I love to bake right?
Yeah.
Do you think I can step out for a few hours later?
Sure, it's a Sunday so go do your thing.
Is this made from that sour fungus that Donguk was
working so hard on?
It's actually a kind of yeast, sourdough.
Let's try it and see.
Oh, look at the insides.
It's so chewy and has a rich taste.
But there are no sweet beans or cream inside.
Would people like this bread?
Grandma you re not up with the times.
There's a trend to pastries too.
These day people want healthier bread.
I don't care about that.
I think what we need is another cute boy who can sit with Donguk.
That'll help with sales.
Even if people come for Donguk, they
won't stay if the bread isn't good.
That's true.
Everyone at work said that your bread was delicious.
See?
The media people won't lie to her.
Yes, your bread is good.
Bring me some jam. I need jam to go with this.
You're supposed to have jam and cheese with this.
Let me bring you some.
It's so good to be out.
I should do this more often.
Yeah.
Should we have
a beer and some lamb skewers after we hit the sauna?
I'd like to
but your dad wants to see me at work
I have to go see him after a shower
I think things are going to go well for you this year.
You got your movie and you're on TV
You'd be perfect as long as you stop fighting with Ilyeong.
We fought at first because of our creative differences.
We're not kids. We won't fight every day.
I don't think she's that bad a person.
Is she really single? She's not a divorcee?
Why are you interested?
What?
Don't be ridiculous.
I know you have high standards.
Lets go, uncle.
She is kind of cool.
I'm so sorry about this
That's okay
We should be able to cover the rent at least.
We're losing money by staying in business.
Things are going to pick up now that Donguk' s with us.
I have to pay off Seyeong's student loans too.
Lyeong and I'll try to deal with that.
Don't worry
Oh, our family was the richest in Cheonan.
And now we're always worrying about bills.
This is all Seyeong's fault.
Mother
Grandma, Seyeong will hear you.
Who cares?
I can't say much because you kids won't let me talk
but it true we lost all we had after we adopted her.
She's so sweet and nice that I can't help but love her
but whenever we start talking about money
I get so mad because I feel like she's to blame.
Mud Hopper
Hello?
Hello, it's Seyeong.
What's up?
No, I'm free.
Okay, I'll see you there.
I wonder what's going on.
Are you going somewhere?
Oh, I have to go to a study club meeting with some other students.
- Okay. - Bye.
I have to hit it big so I can help dad's business
and pay back Seyeong's student loans.
I have to write a much better script than "Architecture 101".
I have the ideas but I can't string them together.
Didn't you lower the guarantee for Jeon Juhyeon?
Oh... We kept it at $100,000.
You said you won't give her all that money!
I met her and saw that she'd be worth it
I decided to invest heavily for the sake of the movie.
Good.
You need to know when to spend and when to save.
You're right about that
We have to save when we need.
That's why I think we can save more on
the production costs for "Civil Engineering 101".
We need to cut the budget
How much more can I cut?
I told you I cut all the corners I could.
I think you can cut more than that.
How?
What more can I do?
Like this heavy rain scene in Scene 35.
Can't we go with a light spring shower instead?
It can be like the spring shower in Hwang Sunwon's short story.
You don't see bridges crumbling under light spring rain
This story is about two lovers who were separated from the storm of 1994.
How can I change that for a light spring rain?
Listen, movies have to have a sense responsibility.
Many people suffer greatly from heavy rainfall annually.
And those people will be heartbroken to see the same scene in a movie.
And do you have to build a bridge that big?
Can't you use a smaller bridge? Won't that feel more cozy?
The bridge is the single most important metaphor and symbol in the movie.
How can I exchange that for a smaller bridge?
Why can't we use CG to put in a rainbow bridge of some sort?
Are you Kidding me?
You cast Jeon Juhyeon for Lee Mincheol
and you can't do the same for your brother-in-law?
I don't want to do this anymore.
Seongsu! Seongsu
Did I go too far?
Turn something else on.
Why is everything so boring?
Should we watch the home shopping network?
Sorry, mom.
No, it's okay. Turn it on.
Let's see who's doing the best job selling things.
Where are you going, Jaeseong?
To meet someone.
Where did everyone go?
Grandfather went to see a friend.
and the housekeeper stepped out.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
She's not doing that right.
That's not how you eat cold noodles.
You saw the way I ate those noodles right?
Yeah.
You practically devoured the bowl along with it!
Just let me do the job.
And I'll be the best home shopping host ever.
How did you know I wanted to have sushi?
Of course I know what you like.
Have some soup to go with the rice.
Ugh, you're like a pair of cockroaches.
Why are you starting with us?
It's cute the way you two are.
Did Kim Juhui tell my daughter about me?
They're meeting for dinner later so they talk then.
She hasn't told her yet.
No?
Why don't you have kids?
Don't you want any? Or are you having problems?
We can be happy even without children.
That's not true.
Look at me. You have to have at least one child.
You're having problems getting pregnant huh?
What did the doctor say?
Honey!
Is she out of her mind?
Are we supposed have kids so they can donate their livers to us?
You know how she is. Don't listen to her.
Once mother tells Yerin about her, I'm done.
I'm not doing this anymore.
Yerin can stay with her.
I couldn't do this for my own mom when she was sick.
Okay, don't cry.
Don't cry. We were eating just now.
Seongsu.
Hey.
What are you doing? Why aren't you working on the movie?
I need to see you.
This is an emergency..
Okay, I'll be right there.
I'm sorry but I have to go see Seongsu.
Okay, go ahead.
I'll be back, okay.
That's okay.
I don't want that woman to ruin your work, too.
This movie has to be a success.
Thanks for understanding
This is only going to last one more day.
After this, Yerin is going do everything.
I've been enjoying your shows.
Thank you.
Why did you ask to see me today?
I think that your talents are going to waste by
sitting and working at one TV network.
Wouldn't you like to come work with our agency?
Your colleague Kim Sangju is doing well for herself, too.
Are you asking me to go freelance?
Yes.
You'll receive more than enough pay.
Thank you, but I have to say no.
Would you at least give it...
No, I'm sorry.
I didn't become an announcer for money.
I want to stay in the network and become like my mom.
If you're finished, I'll have to excuse myself.
She's just like her mother. She's so cold.
Let's go. Let's go.
Donguk!
Is he your brother?
Yeah.
Donguk
How did you do, Jihyeon?
Come on.
What happened?
Let's go.
But...
I said let's go.
Okay.
Where did you get the car?
I borrowed it from a friend who's a car dealer.
He's not a bad friend so don't worry ,
Jihyeon, want to go for a ride with me?
Yeah.
Do you really think your can work at our house?
I'm sorry I'm going back and forth.
But what do I have to do exactly?
I don't really know.
That's okay.
My mom likes to go off on huge tangents.
Tangents?
Yeah, she changes subjects in the middle of talking.
Did you come up with that nickname?
Yeah.
I asked a friend who's a producer at a home shopping network
and he said that shopping hosts have to use the right expressions.
So keep giving her homework and tell her to study hard.
If she wants the job that badly you should help her more.
My family's a head family.
If my mom wants to go back to work,
that means I have to get married so we'll have another woman in the family.
But I don't want to get married just now.
You'll find it hard to get married.
What?
I'm quite popular.
My sister says
that women all gave up on you after learning you're in a head family.
Did Ilyeong tell you that?
Are you going to get back at her?
No, I'm not that cheap.
And don t worry.
I'll get married before your sister does.
Are you teasing my sister again?
Don't look at me like that
Or we might start fighting.
I'm kidding.
Don't tell my sister I'm doing this for you.
Okay.
Would you like to come to my house and meet my mom?
My grandpa and dad aren't there so the coast is clear.
Now?
But I'm dressed like this.
So?
I won't look professional.
Should we go shopping?
I'll buy you an outfit, like it's a uniform.
No. I'll pay for it myself.
Let's go.
This...
- And this. - Okay.
How much?
The blouse is $20 and the skirt is $15. That's $35.
Here you are.
Boyfriends usually pay for clothes...
He's not my boyfriend.
Aren't you getting a discount?
Give her a discount.
No.
May I wear these now?
Sure, it's this way.
You don't spend that much time shopping for clothes for a girl.
I don't like to go shopping.
I thought women ask for discount all the time.
My dad is a baker so I know how it is
to run a small business. That won't leave you with a margin.
I hate it when women ask for free bread when they're
only buying a couple.
I see.
So don't ask for too many discounts when you're shopping.
Okay.
Let's go
Okay.
You prepared all this?
I thought we could go to a nice restaurant to have steak
but I didn't have enough money for that.
Have a seat.
I like this better.
This is a sandwich with the ciabata bread I made earlier.
Try it.
I'm sorry but I can't eat bread.
Why not?
She gets a tummy ache.
I have trouble digesting it.
Oh, that's true of normal bread
but this was made with sourdough so it should be okay.
Trust me.
Should I?
It's so good.
Thanks.
Have some juice.
Mother, I only need to deliver this order
so I'll be back soon.
Okay, don't worry.
Bye
Hello
What are you doing here?
Ma'am, I'm a horrible person. I did a terrible thing
Now that I don't have Jihyeon or Lyeong with me,
I realize the huge mistake I've made.
I have no one on my side in this family
Will you please help me?
I brought some lotions.
I wanted to talk to Lyeong at her work.
but I keep running into that guy who comes to pick her up.
Can't you stop that kid from coming to see her?
No way.
Do you know how scary he is? He may look handsome
but he went to prison for assault.
If you mess with him, he might break your knees.
He'll be here soon.
I should go.
Oh, look at him. He's taking the gift!
This is why I hate him.
I'm not going to give up this easily.
Just you wait and see.
Does your stomach hurt after having the bread?
No, it's strange how it doesn't hurt in the least.
See?
Don't just sit there and come join us
I don't think so.
Mom, come on.
Okay
Let's go.
That was great.
Hello.
I think we've met.
She's a reporter from our program.
Oh, you went to Herb Land.
We saw her yesterday, mom
What brings you here?
I told you I'm getting you a tutor.
Mom, this is your tutor.
Her?
It's a pleasure.
I'm Choi Seyeong.
You're here early.
Yeah, I had some time left.
Let's order something.
That bracelet...
Yeah, it was your gift.
It's pretty. Thanks.
You're the only one who remembers my real birthday.
Really?
Yeah.
If someone else did, that'd make her my mom
Tell me the truth.
I was adopted once then sent back to the orphanage so I can know when
someone's lying to me.
I'm ready to hear what may come.
Tell me the truth.
Someone came to see me, right?
Yes.
Who?
Do you know what scares me, what frightens me the most?
What if my mom hates me
because I was born to a woman like her?
What if she tells me to go with that woman?
I like her
I think they're dating.
Why do you think he chose that reporter of all the other girls?
I don't want to see her again.
I hate her.
I want to be your daughter
I remember sitting on the second floor of a cafe overlooking
Piccadilly Square and thinking of the man I loved.
I cried so hard.
She doesn't want to see you again.
I'm calling a reporter.
Bring me my daughter!
You told me you wouldn't do this.
You heard her
You said you'd give up if Yerin says no.
I can't die like this. I can't die like this.
