Choi Seyeong made it, too.
Oh?
Personal Essay
She was adopted, too.
Did you say she's your age?
Yes.
Do you know anything about her?
Like what age she was adopted?
Or which orphanage she was in?
She didn't write that?
No.
Did you know she was adopted?
I didn't want to make you biased in any way.
But now that you asked, I can tell you.
That's what she's good at
Most people wouldn't volunteer that info.
No.
I was surprised to read this, too.
She knows if she tells people she's
an orphan, they'll take pity on her.
She uses that to her advantage.
That's how she kept her job as reporter.
When you interview her,
you shouldn't tell the others there.
Or this might affect their decisions.
Okay.
I can talk to her after the interview
to ask her which orphanage she was in.
Yerin, what is it?
We have to stop Seyeong from becoming
an announcer. You said you'd do anything.
Why are you so excited?
Can you do it for me or not?
I will.
Calm down. Let's talk about this tomorrow.
Do we still have some time?
The interview's in two days.
Okay. We'll meet tomorrow.
Relax.
It's not good for our livers to get
this worked up.
The stress will be bad for you.
Get some sleep first.
Okay.
Let's meet tomorrow.
This girl is upsetting my daughter?
I'll have to destroy her.
Your marriage isn't yours to decide.
Because Seyeong's adopted,
she's not like Seongsu's girlfriend.
What is it?
Nothing.
Don't you want to look up your real family?
Why do you ask?
Aren't you curious?
They gave you life.
No, I'm not curious.
Adoptees come from other countries
to look for their Korean parents.
You're here and your family's here.
So it'll be easier to locate them.
I told you this last time.
I'd feel guilty about it to my family.
Think about it this way.
What if your real family wants to see you?
Why are you doing this?
I already told you I don't want to.
Why are you pressing me on this issue?
I...
I'll get home by myself.
Get home safe.
I didn't mean to offend her.
I'm sorry I didn't pull off the surprise.
I know how you feel about me though.
Let's make your next movie a real hit.
so we can be rich, like you said.
I'll trust you and wait for you.
Ilyeong.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Please continue what you were doing.
Who was that?
I think I saw her somewhere.
Where did I see her?
Maybe she looks like your old girlfriend.
No.
She's a kindergarten teacher now.
Where did I see that face?
How do you know how your ex is doing?
Ilyeong, Ilyeong!
It's not what you think!
Ugh, this sucks.
Honey!
No!
Will you two make up?
You're fighting over something stupid.
Don't fight in front of your widowed dad.
Stop it.
Ilyeong, if you come running here after
a fight. I'm kicking you out.
I wouldn't because I don't
want you to yell at me
Don't worry.
Where are you going to live?
Well... I...
I'll live with his family.
At his house?
But he has a big family.
It's bad enough you live at your sister's.
You want Ilyeong to live there, too?
He has a condo he's leasing out
to someone and the lease isn't up yet.
We'll be living with his family for a while
and move into the condo in a year.
This is all moving so fast.
But..
And it'll be good for his career to live with
the film company CEO until his movie
opens in the autumn.
We can discuss casting and budget.
And it'll be easier to discuss changes
But you had problems with his sister.
We'll get over that
After all, we'll see each other often.
When will we meet the family?
Oh...
We're fine with any date.
They want you to set the date.
When would you like to see them?
Let's do it soon.
I don't want them coming over here
to engage in displays of affection.
I appreciate that you helped me save face
but I don't own any condos.
Why did you lie like that?
What if we can't move out next year?
Aren't you sure about your next movie?
What?
Aren't you sure?
I'm sure.
I'm going to make it a hit so I can get back
my lost honor and bring you riches.
Then we can get a place next year.
We might even get ourselves a big one.
Ilyeong.
I'm not rushing into this because I'm old.
I'm doing this because I love you.
Are you going to make this a success?
Yes. I promise you won't
regret marrying me.
I lied to my family
because I didn't want them to worry.
But it'll be a nightmare to live with your
brother-in-law, sister, and grandfather.
I didn't take you out on fancy dates
or even propose to you like a gentleman.
I'm sorry I only have this much to offer.
But I love you so much.
I know my love is bigger than anyone.
I know my beginnings are humble
but I'm going to work hard.
We'll go to Cannes and walk the red carpet
with your grandmother and father.
We can go win an award in Venice.
Yeah.
I love you so much.
Go home. It's late.
Wait just a little.
Hello.
Hey, there you are.
Were you with Jaeseong all this time?
No, we said goodbye a while ago.
Oh.
It's late, so be careful.
Yeah. See you tomorrow, cutie.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye.
What are you doing together?
We met out front.
Are you really sure about this?
What?
About living with his family.
I've been married,
so I know it's tough to live with in-laws.
Some people can't bear dealing with them.
They can't even bring themselves to say their names.
My married friends told me why they give
apartments long, complicated English names
Why?
So mothers-in-law can't find them easily.
That makes sense.
Don't worry, girls.
Don't you trust me?
I'll have the most power in that family.
Why are you keeping the beer over there?
Is that a shrine or something?
Pass it to me.
But it's lukewarm.
I'll look in the fridge.
We can drink it if it's cold.
Why am I getting so upset?
Why are you so stubborn?
It wasn't like I suggested a bad idea.
Can't she hear me out?
Is it all right with you?
How's father?
I should go, too.
I have to see them before the wedding.
Do I have to go, mom?
You do what you want.
I don't want to go.
What did Ilyeong say?
She's okay with living here?
Yes.
She's so sweet and understanding.
She'll try her best to make it work.
Yes. We can become friends
and take yoga together again.
Don't worry. I'll be nice to her.
You have to work hard, too.
Remember what you promised me if you fail.
If you fail again this time.
I'm going to have you killed.
Don't worry.
I won't fail as long as I have Ilyeong.
Yerin, Yerin, wake up!
Why, mom?
I found my daughter.
What?
She was under my nose all this time.
Why didn't I realize sooner?
Hurry. You have to leave.
You should get going now.
Mom.
Don't call my mom that.
She's not your mom.
What are you doing here?
Get out.
It'd be nice if there was a nice, pretty
woman with us on a day like this.
But my wife passed away.
I'm talking about someone new.
Mother. I told you not to say that.
Are you going somewhere?
My oldest granddaughter's getting married.
We're going to meet her in-laws.
Why didn't you come for dinner yesterday.
I didn't want to trouble you.
Oh.
Here's the money I owe you.
Here.
Oh, I don't have change.
Think of it as interest.
But this is too much.
Then you can pay for it in pastries.
I guess so.
Come by anytime.
Okay.
Are you going with them?
I'm only seeing them off.
Oh.
You look just like your father.
That can't be.
Mother, let's go. We'll be late.
Yes.
Are you going somewhere?
To see a friend.
- Oh - Goodbye.
- Bye.
Seyeong's oldest sister is getting married.
You mean Ilyeong?
To whom?
How should I know?
You told me you'll spy on them for me.
I've only been here one day.
Don't rush.
I've met the grandmother and father.
Don't worry.
Her father seems like a nice man.
That's not important right now.
Mom learned that Seyeong was adopted.
She's interested in her now.
She won't ask her at the interview
but she'll talk to her later
to ask which orphanage she's from
and what age she was adopted.
Seyeong can't tell her she's from Cheonan.
Mom will be very excited
Minguk's going to Cheonan this weekend, too.
Don't worry. She can't go to the interview.
How?
Just you watch.
I'll do all your dirty work for you.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Are you in any pain?
Are you eating your meals on time?
Didn't you sleep well?
Why is your face so dry?
I'm fine.
Did you get what I asked?
Here.
Kim Uwa isn't a name that goes with you.
Don't be ridiculous.
I can make that name work.
Let me ask you for one more favor.
What is it?
I need you to stop someone.
I'll pay you well.
What's taking them so long?
You're 20 minutes early.
There are still 5 minutes left.
It's only polite to come 5 minutes in advance.
Here they are.
Grandma, over here
Hello.
We're not that kind of family.
We're skipping over so many procedures
because we're rushing with this marriage.
I hear your daughter's not that young.
Did you do that so she won't pass forty?
Seongsu isn't that young, either.
We're also skipping many procedures.
We should ask for a family certificate
to see if he's been married before.
Grandma.
We should also see if he has a clean bill
of health or what his debt situation is.
That's why marriage is all about money.
Our family is proof enough of our honor.
Didn't you tell them we're the Hans?
Grandpa, I'm sorry.
but I'm marrying a Lee, not a Han.
What?
Don't talk back to him.
He's the elder of the family.
Young people don't know how to be polite.
Times have changed.
The woman's family is more powerful now.
Haven't you heard of that?
I'm sorry.
Our family has a free atmosphere.
We give our kids a lot of freedom.
I hope you'll teach her well
for the next year.
For a year?
We heard Seongsu's condo is going
to be empty in a year or so.
Where is it located anyway?
What this about a condo?
You said you have a condo.
Did you tell them that?
Oh, I can explain.
I lied so I could marry Ilyeong.
What?
This is fraud!
That's a bit rude.
Fraud?
He lied about having a house!
What did you do all these years?
You can't even afford a small place?
It'd be one thing if they're your family.
But they're your sister's family.
How long are you going to live like that?
You can get them a house yourself.
You said your family would be more powerful.
Can you even provide for them?
What did you say?
You think we're marrying Ilyeong off
to your family because we're poor?
Why don't we go see a realtor
to get her a house?
Grandma, what are you doing!
No, no!
Yes, please do that.
Misuk, please!
Ugh!
What is wrong with his family?
I don't believe this.
Goodbye.
Give me some ice water.
Okay.
Do we have to let Ilyeong marry into that?
I love Ilyeong so much.
She goes around with a big grin on her face
but she thinks so much of our family.
That's why she's been single all this time.
She was being a good daughter.
She should be married off with a parade.
She'll be living with his sister!
How can she live with such
a traditional family?
Did something happen?
Nothing.
How can you say it's nothing?
I want to cancel this wedding.
Didn't Ilyeong come with you?
I'm so angry with her.
I know she's in love
but why did she take his side?
This is why it's no use having a daughter.
She'll go live with his family!
I don't believe it.
She has to live at their house for now.
Ilyeong will make it work somehow
so don't be so angry.
I was wondering how she got that voice.
She got it from her grandmother.
I'm sorry to say this to you
but make sure that family won't try to
control your brother. They'll try.
If this were Jaeseong, I'd disapprove.
Yongdeok. Misuk.
What are you doing here?
I thought you going to see a realtor.
I'm sorry about what happened.
Why did you lie about a condo?
We were thinking of getting you a place
but your sister said
she'd like you to live with us.
I came up with that story.
What?
I lied to my family because I didn't want them
to worry about my living here.
Why did you lie like that?
You've turned Seongsu into a fool.
I don't know if you've heard
but our parents died when we were young
so I'm like a mother to him.
We may have gotten started off on
the wrong foot but I wanted us to get close
so I said you should live here.
Or was this a plan from the beginning?
Plan?
You wanted your family to believe the lie
so you could get a free condo?
- What? - Misuk!
That makes sense.
How can you say that?
You know how poor I am.
I'm 43 years old but I'm living with my sister.
I don't have enough to pay for a house.
Of course her family would worry.
She was only trying to support me.
Why are you getting mad at Ilyeong?
Don't cry, Ilyeong.
This is all my fault.
Don't cry
Don't cry.
Why did you make them cry?
What about you?
Don't cry.
Don't cry
I don't know if I should join.
We're neighbors!. Dinner's nothing!
Have a seat.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
She's our new neighbor.
Hello. I'm the middle daughter.
This is my daughter.
She's divorced.
That doesn't matter.
She doesn't look old enough to have a kid.
She's like a young girl.
Thank you.
How did the family meeting go?
Don't even ask.
I was so offended.
Why?
Well...
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Hello?
How did it go with Seyeong?
Don't worry. You can rest easy.
Yes. Goodbye.
Who's going to rest easy?
She's my favorite friend in the world
but she's been having some problems.
I was helping her with them.
Your interview's tomorrow?
Eat up. Good luck.
Thank you.
What were you saying?
That family was such a horror.
I was so humiliated.
Hello.
- Good morning. - Morning.
- You're here early. - Yes.
I came to get some of that bread.
Okay.
What's good?
Dad, I'm leaving.
Okay.
Just do as you've always done.
Okay.
Good luck!
Thanks.
Good luck, Seyeong!
Good luck!
You should leave now
Wait.
Where's my wallet?
It's missing?
It must have been stolen!
Pickpocket!
Sir. We have to go to the police station!
No one's leaving until we find the thief.
- What? - I mean it.
I have an important interview to get to.
Will you check my bag first?
And let me go?
No, I don't care about that.
We'll wait until the police gets here.
No...
The police will be here soon.
We'll be done soon.
Sir.
Hello. I'm the one who called.
I'm sorry.
You'll have to go to the station
or I'll have to check your belongings here.
I have an important interview to get to.
Can you start with me?
Here.
All right
Wait.
Isn't this a man's wallet?
Oh, that's my wallet!
Did you steal it?
No!
What's it doing there?
What are you talking about?
This is proof right here!
I don't know how it got there!
Why would I have asked you to start with me?
Maybe so you could escape.
Can we go now?
We've got places to go.
- Let's go. - Yes.
We can discuss this at the station
No!
I have to leave!
Get out of here, lady!
Let's talk at the station
It wasn't me!
I didn't do it!
Or can I come back after the interview?
What if you run?
Let's go there and talk.
No!
Hurry up.
We can't waste time on the road.
Please.
I really have to go!
She's being more suspicious.
I demand that she be investigated.
You can leave early if you cooperate.
Let's go.
It wasn't me.
We'll be behind in a cab.
Okay.
We did it, Mihwa.
Good.
It is me. Seyeong's trapped.
Don't worry.
She won't make it to the interview.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I wonder if Seyeong's here.
Sir, can we be done in 30 minutes?
I'm in a real hurry.
We won't know.
Hello?
Seyeong, are you crying?
What's wrong?
I'm on my way to a police station.
Police station? Why?
Will you find a motorcycle for me?
Why?
Because Seyeong is going to a police station.
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
But shes might be late for her interview.
I'll try to find one, too.
Okay.
Jeonghyo.
Where are you going?
Seyeong's being dragged to a police station.
I'm looking for a motorcycle.
She'll be late for her interview
Don't go.
What are you doing?
I said don't go!
Do you remember me?
Hey.
I'm in a hurry.
May I borrow your bike?
What?
It's very important to me.
Please.
Sit here, miss.
What?
Miss.
Where do you think you're going?
She's the thief!
No!
It wasn't me!
I really have to go!
Please.
Why are you doing this?
I told you Seyeong's trapped!
No!
I can't have her see my mom!
That looks very serious.
