Hello?
It's Seyeong...
I should have told her first...
What am I going to do now?
Seyeong, this isn't your family program.
Why are you asking for your daddy here?
If I were you, I'd quit my job as a reporter.
Do you think this job is that easy?
- Yerin. - Yes?
Get Seyeong's letter of resignation.
Do you have a missing daughter?
No. I don't.
It's a secret that mom switched my place.
She hasn't called.
Mom.
Oh, I mean, Ms. Kim.
I made a mistake again.
Is there something you want?
No. I was passing by.
I should go.
See you tomorrow.
Jeonghyo.
Did you talk to Ms. Kim?
Have you looked for your biological family?
Why are you changing the subject?
Did you talk to Ms. Kim?
Ii shouldn't have gone to Cheonan.
I shouldn't have registered my DNA.
What's wrong?
Did something happen with Ms. Kim?
Why would she even want me?
All I do is talk back and make mistakes.
And I'm in between Yerin and Jaeseong.
She must hate me.
That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.
Don't be ridiculous and go see her right now.
She knows I'm her daughter.
But she hasn't called.
She didn't mention anything when she saw me.
Why isn't she saying anything?
She must have a reason.
Why don't we go there right now?
Don't get any wild ideas and go ask her yourself.
I can't. I can't do it.
I'm scared to hear what she might say.
Why are you being such a coward?
I don't think this is the right time.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Thanks, Jeonghyo.
I'm sorry, mom.
I said I didn't want to,
but I guess I wanted to find my real mom.
But why does it hurt so much?
You used to say that if I were to meet
my real mom, I should thank her for you.
That you'd like to thank her.
I was going to say that
because you said you wanted to thank her.
That's why I looked for her.
But I don't think I can tell her.
I'm sorry, mom.
I'm sorry.
If she won't come back today, tell her to stay at her folks' house.
You didn't get a marriage certificate.
Why don't you let her do what she wants?
How can you be so drastic?
Because I'm so angry at her.
What were you doing?
You should have dragged her to city hall.
Was that so hard?
If you can't go by yourself, I'll go with you.
No, I'm fine on my own.
I'm back.
That was quick.
Where's Seongsu?
He's not here?
He went to get you.
I thought you came with him.
What?
I told you to be nice to Grace.
She's leaving because of you.
I don't think that's true.
Grandmother. Sir.
I came for Ilyeong.
I swear we won't fight again.
What do you mean?
I thought Ilyeong came here to work.
I knew it.
That's why you haven't called.
What did you fight about this time?
Didn't Ilyeong tell you?
No. That's why I'm asking.
What was it about this time?
I made a small mistake...
She wouldn't have come here for that.
And Ilyeong's been here for days.
You're coming to get her now?
I was going to let this blow over but now I have to do something.
Lead the way.
Mother.
Don't try to stop me.
I have to finish this once and for all.
Seongsu's not picking up.
He must have gone somewhere else.
Are you saying he didn't even come inside?
He only texted me outside the house,
asking me to come back.
I don't believe this.
How could he run away from city hall?
Why is my grandma with Seongsu?
What?
Grandma.
How are you?
Not well.
Please have a seat.
Grandmother, over here...
Ilyeong.
Since you're married, you're part of this
family and shouldn't come to our house
every time you have a fight.
I'm sorry.
I'm glad you said that.
I told you that will become a habit.
Now let me blame the man who did this.
If your wife packed up and left, you should come pick her up.
What were you doing?
I texted her several times.
You should have come to talk to her instead of texting her.
That's not why King Sejong invented Korean.
Let me apologize instead.
Please don't be mad.
It looks like you're acting as his mother.
Why do you think Ilyeong did that?
She's got a heart as big and deep as the Pacific Ocean.
That chicken I cooked for you was a waste.
Seongsu's never gotten into a fight before.
He's never gotten mad at anyone.
Sometimes, people make mistakes.
And as his wife, she should learn to forgive.
He can be successful with a supportive wife.
But all she does is walk out on him.
How will he be successful?
Are you saying he's unemployed because of her?
It's because he's incompetent.
He's not unemployed.
He's busy working on his next film.
Grandma, grandfather will hear you.
Misuk, don't be so mad.
Don't ever upset her again.
Stop packing up and leaving.
You're here.
Where's mom?
Did something happen?
What's wrong?
Is mom back?
She's not here yet.
What's gotten into him?
Drink this.
No.
Juhui's going to find out soon, too.
What are we going to do?
This is all your fault.
If you didn't show up, none of this would have happened.
Why are you blaming me?
Juhui would have found Seyeong anyway.
I got you a house to stop them from seeing each other.
What did you do?
I did my best.
It'd be strange if they didn't find out when they work together in the same network.
I told the realtor I'm moving out.
I'll give you the money soon.
You're going to bail on me?
Fine. Go.
When people find out what we did,
I'll take the fall.
I'm scared you'll be in danger if I stay.
Don't come up with excuses.
Jeonghyo went to Cheonan and betrayed me.
I can trust no one.
My life is over now. So go!
What? Jeonghyo went with Seyeong?
It's his fault!
What were you doing there?
I was waiting for you.
Why?
Because you said you won't tell anyone,
but I was still worried.
Are you sure you won't tell your family?
What kind of mother was Ms. Kim?
Why do you ask?
Because I'm curious.
She was the perfect mother.
Your mother did her best too, like mine.
Why didn't you stop me?
That was so embarrassing.
How can I stop you?
Now, they will think I'm a shameless old fart.
No one would say that.
If they do, I'll go put them in their place.
What are you saying?
Grandma, may I have a watermelon slice?
Get your own.
I'd like you to give me one.
Give her one.
Here.
It's so sweet!
It's sweeter coming from you.
Go away.
Why are you acting all affectionate?
Grandma.
I love you so much.
Please love me back.
I never said I didn't love you.
It's just sometimes, I get so angry.
I should have stayed home today.
Can't people just understand me better?
Grandma, I'll get you tickets to a music program if you want some.
Can you really?
Of course.
You can take your friends.
Auntie, I want one, too.
Okay.
You can come with your friends!
I'll give you tickets.
That's great, Seyeong.
Yeah.
Tell your students about me.
I'm the best sister one would ever have!
Dad, you too.
I'm already doing that.
My friends won't even answer my calls now.
Because all I do is tell them about Seyeong.
They won't even talk to me.
I even called one friend twice in one day.
You're the best.
You're so hopeless.
That's what my friends all say.
That's great.
I can't help myself.
What if your friends all hate you?
Why would they?
What happened here while I was sick?
She left the house after a fight?
And Seongsu didn't go for her?
You let her grandmother come here?
I'm sorry, father.
We won't let this happen again.
I'm already upset over Jaeseong.
Why won't anyone do anything right?
Thank you for not telling your family.
I didn't do that for you.
I was embarrassed to tell them.
Other people may not understand but you're a writer.
You must know how I feel.
What do you mean?
That you don't want to be legally married?
I'm an artist.
Artists find it difficult to commit to an institution like marriage.
It suffocates us. When art becomes a means to make money, we start being commercial.
So we shouldn't get legally married?
Look at Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
They were only living together but they were soul mates.
Can't we do that?
Okay. I'll give you what you want.
We can both live as free spirits.
Thank you for understanding.
Who cares about a piece of paper?
It's not like I'd love you any less.
Isn't that right?
Come with me, Seongsu!
What's wrong with you?
Are you saying you'll hit me?
Fight me!
Look, I'm a pacifist. I hate violence.
Gandhi is my role model.
Do this.
Stay still!
Do you know why I asked you to come here?
Because life is like this ring.
You have to keep moving and throwing punches or you'll fall.
You can't expect to coast through life.
You have to do your best to survive,
both in life and in boxing.
You saw "Rocky," right?
Sixteen times.
So what?
That didn't leave you with anything.
What did Rocky say?
Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
Do you remember?
Yes.
I'll give you a desk in my office.
You can start working there tomorrow.
Don't just sit around at home.
I'm a working film director.
You want me to be your secretary?
If you don't want that, then leave the house.
What?
There are directors who take classes at the film academy
You have to continue to improve yourself.
You're here.
I heard you found Yeonju.
You found Yeonju?
How did you know?
I'm not an idiot.
You were acting strangely so I went to the police station.
They told me they contacted you.
Why didn't you tell me?
I was going to.
Don't get excited.
Did you see her?
Not yet.
Not yet?
Why didn't you go straight to her?
Where is she?
Is she overseas?
I'll go see her.
I'll take care of this.
What are you going to take care of?
Are you going to hide this again?
You can't do this to me.
You know what my life has been like.
You can't do this to me!
You should have told me!
Calm down, honey.
Yerin doesn't know, either.
This isn't that simple.
Why should any of that matter?
Where's my sister?
She's fine.
I'm keeping an eye on her.
You're keeping an eye on her?
You mean she's not far away?
Do you remember Choi Seyeong?
Choi Seyeong?
That announcer who was here last time?
She's Yeonju?
Choi Seyeong is Yeonju?
Mom, what's this about?
Seyeong is your lost daughter?
I don't...
Mom!
Leave her alone.
She doesn't want to talk.
Let's talk instead.
You know Yeonju's number, right?
No, I should go see her.
Where?
I have to go see Yeonju!
Do you only care about yourself?
What about mom and me?
No one knows that I've been adopted.
No one knows mom has a daughter who's been gone.
Are you saying we should tell everyone?
You can't say that.
I don't care what happens to me.
But what about mom?
You know how much she's admired.
Everyone in Korea knows who she is.
What will the reporters do?
Her career will be over in an instant.
The internet will be full of vicious comments.
Don't you understand that?
I don't understand you or mom, probably because I have a crappy job.
You saw how she is.
She has a good life.
Can't you be a little more patient?
Is that too much to ask for?
How can you be so calm and cold?
You're just like mom.
Lucky you.
Honey.
Yerin.
Don't say anything.
I understand how you feel.
I don't know how to tell you this.
I know.
Don't worry about me.
Just think about yourself.
Your career wasn't easy to achieve.
You have a news program, too.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Dad.
Are you leaving now?
Yes.
You look like you're in a good mood.
You've been down the last few days.
Was I really?
Do you have anything to say to me?
Hmm... Let me think.
I can't think of anything.
Okay. Then have a great day.
Okay. Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
Minguk.
Minguk!
He hasn't slept at all last night.
I understand you want to protect Yerin but think of Minguk, too.
I feel so bad for him.
What happened?
What do you think?
I think I know why you did that.
Was it for the news program audition?
I think you're definitely going to get it.
Why?
Because you're back to the way you were.
I like seeing you like this.
Now I don't have to worry.
Dad, wait.
Are you going today, too?
Yeah.
The sun's going to rise from the west!
I thought you were going to go have fun.
I love Gieun the best out of everyone!
Where's Seongsu anyway?
Get up and go!
Yongdeok said you should come to work.
Do I really have to go?
Why can't you/
There are tons of people who come to see him,
like other directors, crew guys, managers, actors...
What will they think seeing me there in the corner of his office?
They'll think you've grown up finally now that you're married.
No way.
I have pride, too, you know!
Your pride won't put food on the table.
Thank Yongdeok for offering you this.
I'm thinking of becoming his fan.
Uncle.
Dad wants you to hurry.
Auntie. Can I talk to you for a second?
Here.
Hand lotion?
I bought it with the money I made.
I don't have a sister so I didn't have anyone to talk to.
I'm so happy you're here.
We can go shopping and get our hair done.
We can be like real sisters.
I have two sisters.
They can all be my sisters.
Will you take me home with you next time?
I want to be close to them.
What are you doing here?
Did you do that because Yerin dumped you?
What do you mean?
You shouldn't be petty.
You told Seyeong everything?
Is that your idea of revenge?
I told you not to do any wrongdoing.
You found your daughter.
Why won't you let Seyeong find her mom?
Now that they know the truth, please, have some morals!
Don't worry about us and worry about your conscience.
Don't go telling Seyeong everything.
I told you not to come see me.
You found your daughter?
Did Yerin tell you?
I have boys all over Korea working for me.
You think I can't find out that one thing?
Why are you talking to me like this?
Can you blame me?
What's going to happen to my daughter now?
What do you mean?
Why do you think I'm living in hiding?
This is your fault. If you're going to end up hurting her, give her to me.
Give me back my daughter!
This is none of your business so go away.
What are you going to do?
Do you want to take her back?
Then take her!
I'll call her now.
I didn't say I was going to.
From now on, own up to what you say.
Don't just blurt out whatever.
Right.
You think you're so responsible,
but you went looking for your daughter?
You'd better not let Yerin cry.
I'm not like you.
I'll be responsible for Yerin.
Jihyeon, I'll buy you tons of gifts and be a good dad to you.
I mean it.
Now, pinky swear.
Pinky swear!
These are the test questions from the last two years. Work on them.
And check your wrong answers.
What will you do for me if I pass?
Shouldn't you do something for me?
Okay. Wait for it.
Jihyeon, what's all this?
Dad was waiting for me outside my school.
Oh, really?
He must have come to see you with gifts.
Let's go.
These are the applications for the auditions.
What about Choi Seyeong?
Why didn't Seyeong apply?
She said she's not ready.
I guess that's good for us.
Where's Seyeong?
She left earlier.
I wonder why Seyeong didn't apply.
Yes?
Why didn't you apply for the audition?
It's a good opportunity. You should apply.
Is that all you have to say to me?
Then fine. I'll say it.
Forget about your lost daughter.
I'll continue to live as Choi Seyeong.
