All About Eve
Episode 1
You have two messages
Yoon Hyung-chul, it's me, Joo-hee
Are you dead?
Why haven't you called?
Not that I think this is true but...
you didn't collapse and die from studying so much, right?
Your mother's struggling a lot these days
Call home, all right then. Bye
It's your father Why haven't you called?
Hyung-chul
Your mother... passed away
As soon as you get this message, come back
Dad
Dad, wake up
How did this happen?
Did you do this?
Did you do this to my father?
Is it wrong to be uneducated? Did he really want to be deceived?
How can you not pay him? He worked so hard in the winter!
And his supervisor just ran off!
Wouldn't you go on strike if you were in my father's situation? Wouldn't you?
I know what you mean
But the company's situation is difficult too
Save him
I said save him. Save him!
How would you know?!
How would you people know what we go through?!
If my father dies do you think I'll sit tight?
Save my father's life!
Your father will get compensation
because he has insurance with the company
But...
as far as his salary goes I have nothing else to say
This is too much to bear
How can you do this?
This is just too much...
no matter how insignificant he was
- What about your mother? - My mom took off
when I was six years old
She never came back again
Cry
It's not good to hold back your tears
I also have a daughter who's starting college
- Excuse me, how much is one fish? - $2,900 won
- Are they fresh? - Yes
- Please give me two of them - Please wait a moment
Thanks Dad
I didn't know you had saved up my tuition
That's so much like you
You're the one who made me like this
The time I spent with you
was so hard for me
I wish you wouldn't wake up again
I'll never... I'll never see you again
Miss
Sun-mi, you came
I wanted to cook some soup and vegetables
Good for you
You're such a joy. Here
Thank you. Please come by later
It's not even a big party
If he wants to see me he should invite me
OK
Your father should remarry soon
What about you? You should too
Women can live alone
Please come by later and check the seasoning
Your father likes your cooking more than mine
Whatever
Woo-jin must be at the office
I thought I'd see him more after being discharged from the military
What did he say about some contest? He's so busy these days
Oh, I'm going now
- Take care - OK
Did the new ones come?
Is there something new by Jo Sung-mo?
Who is it?
Sorry! I didn't know you were inside
You should knock
Did you mess up because of me?
I almost did. You took ten years off of my life
Sorry
To make it up to you I'm making a huge dinner
Is your father coming?
Wow, things will be really hectic for you
Want me to help?
The truth is, that's why I dropped by
I knew it
Jun-mo's not here?
He went to Koon-san to take pictures of birds
OK. Let's hurry! Let's go!
You're really good Is it strong and spicy?
Of course it is
You can't cut plain onions because you'll cry
But if you cut them after rinsing them, it's not that bad
Bet you didn't know, eh?
I learned that from being with my mom for 10 years
If she saw us she'd scold us
Why?
Because the two of us are alone here
She's so old-fashioned, you know
My mom doesn't know anything
Even if you tied the two of us together, nothing would happen, right?
That's what you think
Hello? Dad?
Where are you?
Why aren't you coming?
Again?
All right
Nothing we can do about it
Take care of yourself and...
I'm not crying. I'm not a baby
Sir, it's Woo-jin You can't come?
Yes. Sun-mi isn't crying
Don't worry. I'm here
Finish your work and come home. No rush
Yes, Sir. Don't overdo it, OK?
OK. Bye
Someone must've died on the job
Anything can happen in a construction company. It's dangerous work
Wanna go eat out?
- Sun-mi - Mom
Where's Sun-mi?
We got a call from her dad
Why? He can't come?
Oh geez, that man is really frustrating
He said someone died There's nothing he could do
Still, he's skipping dinner because of it?
Such a pity
- Tell her to come down - OK
- Do a good job - Yes sir
Young-mi! Young-mi!
You poor thing
How can you close your eyes forever and leave her? You poor thing!
Young-mi, what a pity...
What to do?
Miss
I have a favor to ask
It's hard enough on me that my father passed away
Please don't make things harder for me
What do you mean?
That's all I ask
I won't ask for anything else, anymore
All right?
Thank you
Hey, so I heard your old man's gone
You're acting as if you're an obedient daughter
Why did you come here?
Well when a parent passes away his son-in-law should visit
Isn't that right?
Your parent?
That's right. Why don't you laugh
Wow, your funeral outfit is sexy
Hey now
Did you actually change and become a good girl deep down inside?
Why? Now that he's dead do you suddenly pity him?
Stop it. He's my father
OK
Was it 3 years ago or 5 years ago that
you begged me to do something about your dad?
Huh? You don't remember?
He almost killed me after I hid you from him when he was beating you
That was then
OK. I understand
Though he was a dirty scoundrel, you loved him
But even if that's true you can't do this to me. Got it?
I have to go inside
I'll call you later
Why are you coming?
Would you take a look at this?
I want to pay my respects too
He was going to be my father-in-law...
Thanks, but you don't need to do this. If you pay your respects
my father will come back to life just to kill you
Hey, really, don't do this to me
Who do you have left in this world?
Your father would ask me to take good care of you
Even if you're shallow, you should have some common sense
Shallow?!
I'm going to leave now
Everything that happened here I buried with my father
When I leave here, I'm even going to change my underwear
I want to forget everything that happened here. You understand me?
If we happen to meet later I don't know you
Even if my father comes back to life, I don't know him!
Hey, are you crazy?
Yeah, I'm crazy. I hate my life so much I've gone crazy
Do you know why I killed myself studying?
You still don't understand?
I'm sorry. Take care
How's this?
Thanks Dad!
We are burying this flesh so that it may return to the soil
So that she may one day rise again in splendor
We are entrusting our sister to the hands of Christ
- You're finally back - Yeah
Should I prepare the bath?
Don't worry about me
- Let's talk - Congratulations
You must be relieved Hyung-chul
I'm sorry
I can congratulate you but I don't have much free time
She may have been your mother
But she was also my wife
That's why!
That's why I'm congratulating you
I said the same thing to her when we buried her
Now you can do as you wish
Since she doesn't have to keep waiting for
a husband who's seeing another woman
How relieved must she be?
You've misunderstood
If mom waited, so did I
What was I thinking while mom and I were waiting for you?
If it were you, what would you have thought? Huh?
I'm not going to live like you
I'm not going to make a girl wait for me
I'm not going to marry someone I don't love
No matter how important money and personal success are
I'm not going to make a girl my foot rest
Do you understand?
That's the biggest lesson you taught me
I didn't marry her because of money
Though I didn't love her
I thought that after getting married I would
But my in-laws always treated me like a beggar
and I was too young that my pride couldn't take it
That's why I congratulate you
Now there's no one to say that your success was because of mom
Live as you like. You're free
Mom's also free now
Dinner is ready
I'm not hungry
The three of you just eat
Goodbye
You just got here...
I know your flight's tomorrow morning
Even if you stay out late with friends, come back
At least eat breakfast here before you go
Give it to me, quick. Thank you!
Just relax
I'm shaking more and more
Everyone's like that the first time
If you're uncomfortable so is the listener
So calmly and precisely...
It's OK to mispronounce things
But you can't be nervous
You can already hear them changing channels
Got it? Be calm and relax, OK?
This is the last commercial
Yes, we're ready
Ten seconds to air
Anchor standby
January 20th Wednesday evening This is MBS News
The US NASDAQ recorded its biggest fall in history
as interest rates continue to increase and investors continue to sell
It is expected that KOSDAQ stock prices will also plume... plume... Plummet
As experts agree that one market
often influences other markets
Kim Sang-chul reports
It's OK. It happens
Did you wait long?
Why did you come here? I said it was OK
What do you mean? I had to see you once
Sun-dal said he'll be here soon
- Excuse me? - Yes? - Please give me one of these too
Yes
I should watch you doing the news once while I'm in Seoul
But I missed it today again
Watch me when I do the 9 o'clock news
You must be tired so drink just a little
I'll sleep on the plane tomorrow
You're going tomorrow?
Thank you
Your father must be disappointed
Disappointed?
I just had an argument with him
Why are you being so rude to your dad?
Your dad's talking from his experience...
Do you know why I said I wouldn't get engaged to you?
What are you talking about?
You know too much about me
And the thing I hate more than that...
You act like you know more than you actually do
How would you know how I feel?
You "understand"? Thanks a lot
My parents don't even understand me So who understands who?
No one knows anyone but themselves
You're drunk
Maybe I am
When are you coming to London as a special correspondent?
Why are you laughing like that?
Who wants to go to London as a correspondent?
I want to go to Mars as a correspondent
But that's just my hopeless dream
Ah, even today, I got stuck so my voice cracked
When I think about my boss yelling at me tomorrow morning, my future looks...
You already know, huh?
I wonder when I'll work for CNN
At least your dream is coming true
Some people haven't come near their dreams
Hey Hyung-chul
Did you just get here?
I'm late, huh?
Just get here? You didn't wait for me
- Please give us another beer - Yes
You're getting more and more handsome
Being an anchor must be good
What's wrong with you? Not chasing after a good man like him
I set my sights high
I'm a little low
When do you leave?
He said he's going tomorrow
Already?
Why'd you come here?
You should've stayed at home
Be nice to your father He's aged quite a bit
Why don't I think that, Sun-dal?
Forget it
I haven't seen a person
who lives like he wants to live
Now and then, we just can't help it
Hey! Let's drink to liven things up
Cheers
When will you come back?
After I finish my studies
Are you going to come visit sometime?
I have to train Joo-hee When would I have the time to go?
- Let's drink. - Do well kid
Yeah. I'm trying hard
I'm also going to leave today
Do you have a place to go in Seoul?
Is there a place for me to go to in the world?
I'll just go some place
Don't worry
I can withdraw the deposit on this house
And well...
you're going to give me the insurance money
If you don't have a place to go now Should I find one for you?
My Sun-mi is in your same school, same major
She's always alone Why don't you be her friend?
Re... Really?
The same school and a mass media major?
Yeah
Why are you... being so nice to me?
Don't feel guilty
Do I look like I feel guilty?
A little bit
I'm not completely guiltless
However, that's not all
When you have a child you'll understand
All the parents in the world all have the same heart
All the parents in the world?
My father too?
Of course
Why did your daughter choose mass media?
I don't know. She said she wanted to be a news anchor
I also want to be an anchor
The 9 o'clock news anchor
Oh! Since you're pretty you'd do well
Are you being honest? Am I pretty?
Of course you're pretty
Your daughter is pretty too, right?
My daughter... isn't a beautiful person
She's just cute and full of love
Because she's my daughter
Recently, they changed the anchor at MBS. Did you see?
She has a good presence
I really want to become like her
That's a good dream
Wow! You took some great pictures! Are you sure you took them?
Good pictures?
I don't know if I should display these
No, they're good. Print them
I don't have the skills but I can see them
Is there a picture I chose that hasn't won a prize?
No really. When you win you gotta give me something
I'll give you a reward
Not something to eat
Jin Sun-mi
Stop dreaming!
Why not?
You're not even interested in her
Jun-mo, if you go without a girl for a year
No, 6 months... and miss Sun-mi
Then I'll think about it
Before then, you don't have a chance
Why don't you go make me lift a mountain?
See, that's why you are just a big flirt
I can't give Sun-mi to a player
You're not going to take her so why won't you let someone else?
Jun-mo!
OK, OK
I have to watch my mouth around your majesty
Hey, but aren't you brother and sister? Huh?
Aren't your mother and Sun-mi's dad close?
Aren't they just splitting you guys up?
Anyhow, you're all right except that. It's a disease
Idiot. Disease?
I'm healthy
Hey! Woo-jin!
Woo-jin!
No, don't come in!
Why? It's OK
Hey hey, say I'm not here
I'm sure it's Ji-sun Just pick up
- Say I went to the bathroom - No way
Say I have diarrhea! Got it?
This is Ahn Jun-mo's cellphone
Oh, it's So-hui
Oh, So-hui
It's me. Of course!
Dinner? Let me see
I'm really behind with my work
But if you say you want to meet up I have to make time to see you
All right, got it. OK
Bye. Sweet dreams
Why did you cut things off with Ji-sun?
Hey hey, don't even bring it up
That evil girl latched onto me and
called me a player She's younger too!
Jun-mo, you're not a player?
You idiot, are men and women the same?
No matter how equal you try to make them, men and women are different
They look different Should I show you?
That's OK. Please leave
Hey, don't get the wrong idea Look at the words first
When you write man you put an "m" first
Woman is different Aww, get out, man
Don't take this important truth lightly
Please just get out
I'm going to test you
I don't know if I'm just going to burden you
When you invited me I wanted to go for sure. But...
I don't know if this is the right choice
Everyone's nervous at first
Don't worry, OK?
It’ll be all right You're good kids
What?
I know it's not fair, but she'll get a room when she has rent money
I don't use the workshop alone and...
If you're picky it's actually Jun-mo's
That's why I'm asking for a favor
You guys only use it in the afternoon
That's right, but there are times when we work late
She has no place to sleep at night
Hey, she got into college
She's trying to get a dorm room
No one can convince you otherwise
If you pity her then you should help her
Yeah, that's right
She tries so hard
Even if it's hard for us let's help her
OK? OK?
Yes, I understand
Don't tell your mother or anyone else. They'll cause problems
Yes
- Drink - Thanks
What is your name?
Young-mi. Huh Young-mi
Young-mi?
Age?
I'm going into college
Oh, how are you related to that man?
Are you a photographer?
Oh no, you can't
Please don't touch these
I'm fine with it but the guy outside has a bad temper
Rub him the wrong way and there'll be trouble
Woo-jin, Woo-jin
Wouldn't that be incredible if we used her as a model?
We ask our models to...
Come here for a bit
- Hey, you stepped on the same toe - Let's go!
It’ll be fine
It's messy but you can clean it up
They only work in the afternoon so you can use it all you want at night
OK
During the live news?
Yup!
Have some fruits
Oh goodness...
What's so great about him that
we have to throw a party for him whenever he's home?
I want to know that too
Even I missed him
Thanks, let's eat
Sir, can I get a part-time job at your station?
The reason you didn't get a job
is because you call me "sir"
OK then, Bro I need a part-time job
We'll see how things go
Come on, Bro
Me too!
You're only a freshman so stay out of it
- Come on, Bro - Dad
Woo-jin, leave. Don't eat
Don't eat what?
Fruits
Why?
You look like you're starring in some love show
Love show?
You said someone died Did that work out OK?
Yeah. Everything was taken care of
- Here, eat - I am
Dad?
Wow, you look great
Do I look like a college student?

I will wrap up chapter one here
Since your major is mass communications
I hope each of you will do your best to lead the mass media industry
of Korea in the 21st century
Oh, and don't forget about
the term paper that I assigned
I hope you all do a good job
Class dismissed
Thank you
Hey, here, be quiet
Well, as you are all aware
As I told you before we need a president
It could be anybody
Anybody can recommend or appoint herself, anybody?
Jin Sun-mi, why don't you do it?
No! You do it if you want to
You'd do great
- Hey - Yes?
I recommend Huh Young-mi
Who is she?
Me
I'm student #16, Huh Young-mi I want to be the president
Well, I guess, nobody can beat me with my beauty
and my great personality
I'll do my best. You'll see
I did it because of my father
He was always a leader
Well, that sounds old-fashioned
Well, he's my daddy
I can't help it He's so simple-minded
And he always has to win
What? So your father is a politician or something?
A senator? Really?
I knew you wanted to be the president, right?
Now, you're talking
Of course, I wanted to be one
I'm not that stupid
Well, I'll back you up next semester
Oh, yeah? Then I'll be your assistant
Assistant?
Well, I guess, this is all about politics. Sounds fun
Hey!
Do you know that guy?
Isn't he cute?
She's here
Here comes the beauty
Which one is yours?
The man in black
Then the one in white is mine
I'm in, it's two for two
Well, it's too late He already has a partner
Woo-jin
Sun-mi!
Howdy, howdy!
- Aren't we running late? - No
We're fine
Young-mi?
How did you know about the news report at the City Hall?
I heard about it from Sun-dal
Then, this solves our problem for the term paper
That's great. I was a bit concerned
So, you are Cho-jeh?
Yes
You can talk to me about anything even about homework
You have me now
Really?
You bet, but does your family make chocolates?
You're funny, that's even better
Or, do they make useless junk?
