Now do you feel better?
Mother.
Yerin.
You came.
Come.
I'm your mother.
Yerin.
I told you I don't want to see her.
I said I want to stay as your daughter.
Why did you bring me here?
Your real mother is dying
She'll die without a liver transplant.
What?
You're her daughter so the odds are higher.
What are you saying?
Are you saying I'm here so she can take my liver?
Is that why we came?
At first, she only asked to have a meal with you
I didn't expect her to do this.
Did you allow her to go through with this?
No.
I told her that's up to you to decide.
But she doesn't have much time left.
This will be our last project together.
I'm sorry.
Take one to the PR office and the other to the ratings board.
And stop by the arts center to ask for our sets.
Okay.
Let's keep in touch. It's not easy to meet like this.
Yeah.
Hello?
Jeonghyo...
What is it?
What's wrong?
Will you come pick me up?
Are you crying?
Please come. Please.
Where are you?
Okay, stay right there I'll be right there.
I'm sorry but I have to leave.
But what about this?
Will you take care of that?
Jeonghyo!
How could he do this just because he's quitting?
He has to finish his job!
I think that was a woman on the other line.
Yeah.
He was lying when he said he wasn't seeing anyone.
We were able make it past the worst of it,
but you realize there isn't much time left
I heard there's a possible donor in the picture.
I don't know what's going on exactly
but you don't have the time to wait.
You have to decide soon. This is a life we're talking about.
I understand.
Where's Yerin?
She's gone.
Gone?
She left when her own mother is sick?
Yes, she's gone.
Did you tell her I'm dying?
Yes, I told her every single detail.
And she still left?
Yes.
That can't be. My daughter wouldn't do that.
Maybe it's because she was shocked I didn't make myself up.
Yes, I think that must be it.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
She might come for me again, so I have to look my best.
Why didn't you tell me?
What are you doing there?
Waiting for my mom.
She's going to come for me.
Wake up, Shinhye.
You were abandoned by your adopted family.
Now you're stuck in here with the rest of us.
No!
My mom's going to come back for me.
She's going to come.
Mommy...
Don't cry.
I'll stay here with you until your mother comes.
I promise.
I won't go anywhere. I'll stay right here
So don't cry. Stop crying.
You don't believe me?
Here, I promise.
Shinhye.
Right, I have to call you Yerin now.
I keep forgetting.
Jeonghyo.
She wants me to do a liver transplant.
What did you say?
My birth mother can only live if I give her part of my liver.
She's asking me for my liver.
What?
Is she out of her mind?
So what did you tell her?
I was so shock I had to leave the hospital.
What do I do?
I hate this! She disgusts me!
I hate her so much I could die.
Yes...
I can't believe this is happening.
Jeonghyo, can you stay at the TV network for me?
I have no one else to talk to about this.
I'm so lonely.
Okay, I won't quit.
I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise to you.
I'm going to stay with you now to protect you.
Don't cry
Your pretty face is going get all puffy
Did you go somewhere?
Where's Donguk? Why is this an old folks home again?
I still sell some bread here and there even without Donguk.
He left to borrow some books from the library.
Since he's gone, now I can tell you what I want to say.
Don't you think we can get rid of Seyeong?
What?
I went with a friend to a famous fortune teller in Maljukgeori.
She says that our family's in this mess because of Seyeong. I went with a friend to a famous fortune teller in Maljukgeori.
She says that our family's in this mess because of Seyeong.
Not that again.
That's what every one says! It has to be true.
Don't you remember we expanded our factory after we brought Seyeong?
And the factory went bankrupt a long time later during the Asian crisis.
Don't turn that on Seyeong. It's not fair.
Fine
If you don't want to let her go, then you have to get married
What?
Either she goes or you have to marry.
That's the only way our family can get back on its feet.
Did you go somewhere, grandma?
Yes, I did.
What about lunch?
I had lunch with my friends I'm full.
Are you going to pass that announcer exam?
I'll do my best.
Everyone does her best. It's important that you pass.
Are you going to pass or not?
I'll pass.
You'd better not fail.
Your father and sisters always take your side so I can't say anything,
but you know it's your fault that this happened to our family.
I even bought you a dress instead of
getting one for myself, so you'd better make it! I even bought you a dress instead of
I'm going to keep my eyes on you.
Okay.
I want to be nice to her but every time I hear something unlucky,
I get so mad that we ever brought her to the family.
I'm back.
Hey did you look at a lot of books?
Most of the books I wanted were borrowed.
I only borrowed two
Did something bad happen?
Sometimes, grandmother gets a little upset with Seyeong.
And today is one of those days.
Let's go eat.
Okay.
Let go eat, Donguk?
Maybe later.
Let's go Seyeong.
I ate while setting the table.
You and grandma go ahead.
Okay, I'll be back soon.
Don't mind what your grandmother said.
You know what I mean, right?
Yeah.
You're lucky grandma loves you so much.
She's not the only one who loves me
Wow! You sure are full of yourself!
I'm not full of myself. I'm just aptly confident
I m just confident, that's all.
Wow. That was...Something.
And with this confidence, I'm behind you 100%
Ugh, that was so cheesy! I think I'm going to throw up
I'm going for a run. See you.
Wow I look good in everything!
I should have gone into acting, no directing.
Come.
Misuk, Misuk, Misuk
How do I look?
You look like a beggar from the 70s wearing all kind of crap
Your look would be complete with a little tin can for change
A beggar with a tin can? That's really mean.
Don't you know less is more?
Either get rid of the hat or the scarf.
Where are you going?
Out to beg for food?
Why are you so mean?
I'm going to the TV station for a meeting.
You look like you re going to be on TV, not attend a meeting.
Hey.
What's happening with Minguk?
He wasn't having an affair.
So what about that woman?
It's just someone he knows.
You should buy him a drink and ask him what's going on.
It's alcohol that'll get him to sing.
I think something's going on.
Okay.
I'm late so I have to go.
Bye.
Maybe I should try giving Juhui a call.
We can't reach Yerin. We might have to cancel the show.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
She's sick and had to go home. I'm sorry.
She was fine up until a while ago.
She became sick all of a sudden.
Find someone else.
Okay.
Hello?
It's me.
What is it?
I wanted to say hi.
How's Yerin doing?
Yes.
She used to come see us all the time.
Why hasn't she come lately?
She's busy these days.
I see
Is Minguk okay?
Yes, he's fine.
Oh, we should have lunch sometime.
I'm always home so let me know when's okay with you
Okay, bye.
Is everything really okay?
She sounds so peaceful.
Maybe we were wrong.
Daughter
Mom
Why aren't you picking up?
Because I'm scared.
What if she asks me to do the liver transplant?
Why do I have to save her life?
Because she's your mother.
She's not my mother.
She left me. What does she want with me now?
She must have had her reasons.
I don't want to hear it.
I f she really cares'about me, she should have gone and died.
Why did she come see me? Why is she doing this to me?
Isn't Jeonghyo back yet?
No.
Why isn't he calling?
I think you look different today.
Me?
She changed her hairstyle.
Why did you do that to your hair?
Are you going on a date today?
No.
I had a lot of time left this morning so I tried something new
Hello.
- Have a seat. - Yes.
Seolhui, you look very pretty today.
Really? Thank you.
Jaeseong, that's a very pretty shirt.
You're the fashionista of our network.
That's my uncle, not me.
You tried to look your best huh?
Aren't you hot wearing all that stuff?
Well, I hear people get cold often when they're old.
Women think they look young with bangs like that but
if you're old, that'll only make you look older.
You should go with a hairstyle that's right for your age.
Are you saying I'm doing this so I can look young
I already look young
I'm not wearing all these clothes because I'm cold.
This is called the layered look.
Not anyone can pull this off. 285c
I can, because I look young.
Look young?
Didn't you check your mirror before coming here?
You're the one who said you look young!
Will you stop?
If you're going to fight like this, go outside and have your meeting.
You're getting in our way so you discuss your ideas outside.
What's with the constant fighting?
I really don't get it.
Now get out!
It's the soundtrack for "Chungking Express".
I really enjoy that movie.
It was one of Wong Kar Wai's best works
Takeshi Kaneshiro was the hottest guy at the time.
Brigitte Lin was so pretty and lovely
You look a little like Brigitte Lin with that hairstyle.
I did have people say that to me when I was young
You look like Takeshi Kaneshiro today.
A lot oft people told me I look like a Hong Kong film star
Let's have our meeting.
Yerin was a no show today?
Are you talking about the same Yerin?
Yeah, Na Gyeongmi had to fill in for her.
Yerin will have to take us out to lunch for this.
Why did she do that?
She was fine this morning
but she came down with something suddenly
Is she very sick?
Drink this.
No thanks.
Hurry up and drink.
You must be worn out from crying
I said no thanks!
Do you think I want to drink this?
This is why I wanted to get married.
I wanted to have a family of my own
so I'd have a husband to lean on.
Then I wouldn't be this lonely.
Jaeseong
Hello?
It's me. How sick are you that you had to bail on your program?
I was a little sick...
Are you better now?
Yeah.
Will you buy me something good so I can feel better?
Something good?
Yeah, I want some galbi.
Okay.
Let's meet for dinner later.
No, I want galbi now.
Aren't you free?
I'm free.
Let's meet up later.
Yeah.
Was that Jaeseong?
Yeah.
Is it obvious I was crying?
No, you look pretty.
I'll see you later.
Yerin.
Let me know if you need me.
Jaeseong
Hello
Are you going somewhere?
I'm on my way to see Yerin.
Did you talk to her?
She's feeling better She wants galbi.
I'm going to buy some for her.
Would you like to join us?
That's okay.
Will you tell my daughter to eat well and cheer up?
Tell her I'll see her at home.
Okay.
Here.
I have workbooks, too.
It's for me to use.
I don't know if I can pass the test. I started so late.
What do you mean late?
How old are you?
25
If we assume that you'll live to be in your 90s,
that means you're only in the second inning in terms
of baseball, and only in the first 25 minutes in a soccer game.
That means you have plenty of time and opportunities.
Do you understand?
Wow, that's great.
That makes you sound like a real teacher.
I have to study for my announcer test
so we can study together. Right.
Yeah.
Thank you. I'll do my best.
If you really want to thank me, then take me out to dinner.
Oh, I have someone to take out to dinner, too.
What is it, Seyeong?
We said we'd go out to dinner
What about today?
Okay, let's do it.
You don't look sick.
Are you sure you weren't lying so you can skip work?
No.
How did you know about this place?
Jeonghyo used to work at a galbi restaurant.
He told me the galbi here is good.
I ran into your mother on the way out.
My mom?
Yeah.
Did you tell her you're going to see me?
Yeah.
She told me to tell you to eat well and cheer up
that she'll see you later at home.
What is it?
Oh, I just got smoke in my eye.
Here.
But there are people here.
What if you get into a scandal?
I don't care.
Here.
Will you make me one, too?
I'm sorry I told you to cut your budget last time
but we have to save where we can.
I know other directors who write their own screenplays.
Maybe you can do that so we don't need to hire a writer.
Fine.
But we'll need a female writer to edit
the screenplay first, because this romantic comedy.
Fine, fine, fine.
And there's something more I need to tell you.
I'm sorry but I have somewhere to get to urgently.
I'll keep this short
Jeon Juhyeon is having a script reading today. I have to go there.
I'll talk to you later
Yongdeok! Yongdeok!
How can he do this to me?
Will you invest in our movie? ,
I don't have any money.
I still ask my mom for allowance.
Ask your mom for help.
Even if it's $10,000 I'll accept it happily.
I'm not getting paid for this movie. And I'm not getting paid for the script.
Don't you have to do something?
I'll ask my mom.
How are things going with that dying woman?
Oh, it was a wrong diagnosis.
She's fine now. Don't worry.
Really?
Did she call yet?
No.
Isn't this place expensive?
I'll buy so don't worry.
But I'm the one who said we should go out to eat.
I can't ask a girl to pay,- especially when you're younger.
Now let's eat
Okay.
Jeonghyo
You left in such a rush earlier. Was it to come see Seyeong?
Oh...
The meat here is very good.
Thank you for your recommendation.
Of course.
Would you like to join us?
We're already done eating.
Let's let them eat in peace.
Okay. 446n
Enjoy.
Thank you.
Don't you think they make a nice couple?
They're both orphans so they have a connection.
I caught them meeting together last time.
Really?
Should we help them?
They'll take care of that.
You bought dinner so I'll treat you to dessert.
Should we go have some ice flakes with red beans?
I have to go in to work.
Can t you have dessert first?
You're sick. You shouldn't eat anything too cold.
Now go home and rest.
Okay.
Come, I'll drop you off.
No, you re busy. Go ahead.
I'm going the opposite direction so I'll catch a cab.
Really?
Take care. See you tomorrow
Did you leave in a rush because of me?
No, that phone call came earlier.
Oh.
Oh'.
Who was it?
Was it a girlfriend?
No.
It's this girl I know and she said she was in trouble.
Oh you like her, don't you?
Stop teasing me and "attack! "
What'd you mean "attack"?
I don't want to fight over galbi.
I wasn't asking you to attack me. "Attack" is a dialect meaning let's eat.
I told you last time.
Oh, right
I must be stupid
- Attack! - Attack!
Wow, this looks so good.
Oh, it so hot! Oh!
It's so good.
- Eat. - Yeah.
Ow, ow!
He was so sad when he was with me
but with Seyeong he's in such a good mood.
That was a good meal.
I was going to pay because you're quitting
You can make this up to me later.
Because I'm keeping my job.
Really?
Yeah.
I shouldn't go back on my word as a man but
I'm afraid I don't have a choice.
Great!
I can keep seeing you
Yeah.
I'll be right here to see you become announcer, Roundcheeks.
Roundcheeks?
Why does everyone call me by a nickname and not my real name?
I like that you re always smiling.
Your family must be very good to you.
Yes, they're so good to me.
But doesn't that make you wonder though?
They might be nice to cover up the fact you were adopted.
I was adopted for about 2 years
and I felt uneasy even when my family was nice to me and it hurt so much
when they were mean to me.
I felt the same thing, too.
Our family lost some money
and grandma sometimes blames that on me.
Once, I tried to run away from home because
I thought things would be better for them without me.
What happened?
My dad caught me after 7 hours.
That was the first time he hit me on my legs.
I've never seen him get that angry before.
And my mom and sisters were crying so much.
I felt better after that.
Even now, Ilyeong gets mad at me if I say I was adopted.
You grew up so well, Roundcheeks.
I told you to call me by my name!
Jihyeon, you got 100!
This is nothing.
Donguk.
30? You got 30?
Are you embarrassed?
You got the first equation wrong?
But these are the easiest ones!
Look at these different kinds of equations.
You haven't grasped the basic concepts yet.
And you can't even solve this linear function.
How are you going to move on to the more difficult functions?
These linear functions are the most basic equations!
No, Yerin's not here.
Yes, I'll call you when she comes.
Yerin's not home?
No, she couldn't be reached all day.
If she didn't go home, she's going to come here.
I know it.
Will you come to the TV station later for the meeting?
Jaeseong said he's going to hire me for the program.
I kept her blanket because I heard my baby will become
a success if I keep her baby blanket until she's an adult.
Yeonju.
I'm here for you.
Where are you?
I think they were right
Because Yerin became a huge success.
Once I'm dead, please take care of my affairs for me
She gave you life.
You can't ignore her when she's dying.
Why do I have to give up my liver?
