(1 year later)
Vice-chairman Im is here.
Hello, Mother.
How is Do Jae?
Is he recovering well?
Let's sit first.
He's doing much better now. He'll return to us soon.
You truly went through a lot.
He was the one who suffered the most.
After the surgery, he opened his eyes, looked at me,
and called my name.
It reminded me of that day.
That day when he opened his eyes...
and asked me who I was.
He's stubborn as a mule.
Did you contact him?
I did.
I told him if he didn't return soon,
One Air would catch up to T Road Air.
That is so like you two.
He's going to try his best to return as soon as possible.
Hey.
When are you going to introduce the girl you're seeing?
Thank you for the meal.
I'll be off now.
Let's be careful with our words.
Hey, wait. Eun Ho!
Take this with you. Give it to Se Gye.
Gosh, that brat.
Whom does he take after to be so reserved?
Stop pestering him. What if he decides to rebel?
- Let him be. - What about him?
Has he never pestered me before?
And how could you call what I did pestering?
How does she look?
Well... She's...
- She's pretty. - Oh, come on.
In what ways is she pretty?
Thank you for the meal.
I'll be off.
Hey, A Ram!
Gosh, I just can't stand those two.
Whom do they take after?
It's you, of course.
They take after you...
That's why they're both so good-looking.
They're extremely good-looking.
You see, I have such high standards.
Thank you for the meal.
I'm leaving.
- You... - Goodness.
Gosh, this curiosity is going to be the death of me.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
Goodness.
I want to tag along.
- You can't. - Why?
I miss Se Gye and Kingkang as well.
I said, no.
Your appearance is too dazzling to appear at a countryside.
You'll only attract attention.
She went there for some peace and quiet.
Then can you ask her to visit Seoul?
Be patient. I'll bring her in a jiffy.
Is Se Gye doing better now?
In the beginning, she was a complete mess.
But now, she's doing better. She finally looks alive.
The money she wired me last time is still untouched.
Tell her she can ask me for it whenever she needs it.
Hey, didn't you say you were going to study?
Just appreciate her sincerity, and spend it.
- Or donate it. - How could I?
She worked so hard for it.
She can always make more.
Are you going to make her return to the screen?
Even if it's not by me,
she'll be back in the industry sooner or later.
Acting is her calling.
How could she ignore it?
It's merely a matter of time.
I'm leaving.
- Drive safely. - Okay.
Goodness.
I wish I could see her as well.
Is her daughter residing here after her retirement?
I think they're leasing the place.
A grandma lives there.
I once saw a grandma leaving that place at nighttime.
You're wrong. They have a kid.
Maybe the grandma and the kid live there together.
Then what about that young woman I saw last time?
I know the answer.
The kid's grandmother must be looking after the kid...
for her daughter, who visits once in a while, right?
You're right.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
I guess you were away.
- You're so beautiful. - Thank you.
- She must be the kid's mom. - Yes, she must be.
Doesn't she look too young though?
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Hey, you're here.
Am I visiting my friend or a knitting club?
- You should at least get a TV. - I don't want to.
Why not?
I bet it'll make you want to get back into acting.
You'll sit here and think, "I can do a better job."
What's that?
Things that Eun Ho's mom made for you.
She sends stuff every time. I'm so grateful.
Eun Ho wanted to come too. It was so hard to come without him.
I miss Eun Ho too.
I personally think that Eun Ho...
misses Kingkang more than you.
Kingkang is irresistibly charming.
Aren't you, Kingkang?
Here, the books you asked for.
Gosh, are you happy now?
These days,
I wonder if I run a publishing firm, not an entertainment agency.
I meet more people in publishing than directors these days.
They're all grateful.
They said that all the books you read do very well.
Thanks so much.
You're cooped up here, but you must want to get back into acting.
Don't you feel like...
you should at least read books to people to feel alive?
I've told you that you were born to be an actress.
Shall we take it back?
It's not that.
I'm just bored, that's all.
Will you really not even step out of the house?
Will you keep living like this?
- I do go out. - No.
Will you never go out when you're actually you?
You said you'll knit a stitch every time you miss him.
The color changed, so you must've finished another ball of yarn.
You must miss him terribly.
How many balls have you gone through?
Here, this is yours.
I didn't know people knit scrubbing sponges.
Hey, you're so mean.
Gosh, seriously. You frustrate me so much.
Why are you so loyal?
Goodness.
Gosh, I can't believe she knit a scrubbing sponge for me.
Oh, boy. I should sit here.
What's going on? What are you taking pictures of?
Se Gye, you're so crafty.
This scrubbing sponge is so cute. I'll brag about it on social media.
Goodness.
Scrubbing sponge! Great.
It's done.
Is this your size though?
Did I get the size wrong?
Should it have been smaller?
I miss you.
You're recovering well.
You scared me, saying the success rate is five percent.
10 years ago, it was only 5 percent indeed.
It should be at least 20 percent nowadays.
Then it's good that I decided to do it now, not back then.
You lived with the condition for 10 years.
What motivated you to decide to get the surgery suddenly?
Whether I can recognize faces or not...
no longer matters to me.
But someone I know keeps crying,
and that is important to me.
I've known you for a long time,
but this is the first time I can actually see your face.
And what do you think?
I'm happy to see you.
"We feel that everything took place for this love to happen."
"Every secret arrow is pointing here,"
"and the universe and time must have..."
"carefully planned the love a long time ago."
"Even though we know that it's such a foolish thought,"
"deep down we feel it in our hearts and bones..."
"that we've just realized it now."
"Just now."
"We feel that we've finally arrived at the place..."
"where we're destined to be."
Hey, you're here.
You seem to be doing pretty well.
I am doing pretty well. I really am.
But you still have to take this test.
You're so strict.
I work hard when I'm paid well.
My mother.
My grandpa.
My father.
Sa Ra.
- You don't recognize that face? - Has this...
been photoshopped?
What are you talking about?
- You can tell? - It's so obvious.
You look better in real life, Jeong Joo Hwan.
Great job. You scored 100 percent.
(Message)
(President Yu Woo Mi)
Se Gye is doing well.
Everything's well with you too, right?
The phone is turned off.
You'll be directed to voicemail after the beep.
Se Gye refuses to even step out of the house.
I'm worried that something might happen to her.
I don't want seeing you in tears to be my last memory of you,
so I'm going to make a choice that can prevent it.
I wanted to see you,
but I know that you'll cry again if you see me,
so I'm leaving after looking at you from afar.
To tell you the truth, I'm scared.
A life without you scares me more.
That's why I came.
I'll come back.
Until I come back, all you have to do...
is wait for me.
No matter what it takes, keep hanging in there.
Are you doing well?
Like you said, I'm...
doing my best to live.
That was a long business trip.
Where are you headed?
To see my mom.
Do you like the ad?
While you weren't here, she was responsible for most of our sales.
She's such a hot issue.
She shot that ad right before she left,
and we've been fortunate.
Joo Hwan.
- Yes? - Is Han Se Gye...
pretty?
Well...
She is pretty.
But she's not my type.
I envy you since you've seen her.
You'll be seeing her soon too.
I'm back.
Mother.
You look really lovely.
10 years ago...
and now as well.
I've grown so old because of you.
- Do Jae. - I really like your seat.
It makes me want to take it.
You're back?
So this is what my little sister looks like.
I thought you'd look really scary.
But you're just cute.
Are you here to pick a fight?
No. I'm here to say hi.
Congratulations on coming back to work.
It's too early to come back.
Before I start work, there's something I must do.
My brother returned.
Seo Do Jae?
Is he alright?
He seems perfectly normal.
This is actually bad for me.
The way I see it,
Han Se Gye will probably return soon as well.
The Seo Do Jae I know is that type of person.
He never lets go of something he wants.
Although you're saying bad things about him,
your face looks happy.
So what about you?
What do you intend on doing to make a living from now on?
You can't work part-time for the rest of your life.
It's actually okay if you don't want to work.
Since I have a lot of money.
I'm thinking of going to graduate school.
Graduate school?
What do you want to be this time?
I've given it some thought...
and I think becoming a judge...
will be perfect for my aptitude.
Do you know how hard it is to become a judge?
Yes.
I know it won't be easy.
It's been a while since I've studied.
It will take some time, don't you think?
I don't think I've told you.
I studied law at Seoul National University.
Are you okay?
Seoul National University Law School.
Did I surprise you?
No.
You should have some fish.
Try it.
I'm certain I told you that I was smart.
I didn't know that's what you meant.
Now I understand why your mom was opposed to...
you becoming a priest.
You can drop me off over there.
If I get off near my house, my family will go nuts again.
Why?
They're asking me to introduce you every day.
I'll go meet them then.
Will that be okay?
Why? Are you...
embarrassed of showing me to your family or something?
No, I just thought...
it would make you uncomfortable.
Instead of me,
you and your family should feel uncomfortable.
Since you're meeting a person like me.
And I'm even dropping you off in a nice car like this.
You're right.
If I think about it, I do feel a bit uncomfortable.
How did I meet such an amazing and admirable person...
like you?
I guess it's all just your fortune and fate.
I can't believe you're talking about things like fortune and fate.
Just you mentioning those words is surprising.
You're in for more big surprises from now on,
so stop being silly and get off.
I'm tired.
Okay.
Mister, you have to pay for your ride.
Why? Is that too much to ask for?
Good night.
How did I...
let myself be totally bewitched by him?
Hey, you can put it here.
You're so silly. I can't believe you made me do this.
Thanks for the compliment.
When will you return to work?
I don't want to work.
Why don't you do my job for me?
Poor me.
So it's really true.
She's too fair-skinned,
and her lips are too red.
"We sit in the back of the classroom..."
"so that we won't be visible..."
"from the windows."
"'How did you know that it was me?'"
"I can't help but ask."
"While gazing at me,"
"she speaks."
"'No one else but you...'"
"'would look at me like that.'"
(Those Who Read Books to You)
I love how these books are read by many different people.
I really enjoy the audiobooks.
Don't you think the woman we hear often sounds like Han Se Gye?
She has such a nice voice.
Her voice sounds like that of the actress, Han Se Gye.
"I hoped that love would overcome everything."
"However, love cannot overcome anything."
"Love, on its own, cannot do anything."
"Love..."
"depends on us,"
"who fight on its behalf."
Are you sure I don't have to tag along?
You need to get some rest.
You can't follow me around everywhere.
I'm happy you can recognize faces now, but my feelings are hurt.
We used to do everything together, but you're fine on your own now.
- Won't you ask where I'm going? - It's obvious.
Then wish me luck at least.
The result is also predictable.
I hope that is the case.
I'll head back to the office and get things organized for you...
so that you can relax and have fun until you return to work.
Okay, thanks.
- Mr. Seo. - Yes.
Best of luck.
Thanks.
Yes, I'm going to the bookstore to get some books.
I felt bad about taking Kingkang only out to the lawn here.
I want to take Kingkang out for a walk.
Hey, that's great.
You should get some fresh air.
I'll be back shortly.
Gosh, don't. Take your time.
What if I end up causing a ruckus?
If that happens, I'll sort it all out.
So take your time and stay out for as long as you want.
Don't you know that's my specialty?
All right. Bye.
Let's go.
Kingkang, I'll be back very soon.
Wait for me here, okay?
Is it because she hasn't seen me in a long time?
She's not barking at me today.
Thank you.
Kingkang, be a good girl.
Let's go.
(Bookstore)
No! My gosh.
Thank you.
My arm is getting tired.
So this is...
what you look like.
I told you not to run away...
Can you really recognize me?
Really? Seriously?
- Yes, really. - But how?
How is that possible?
I promised you...
that I'd sort out everything.
I told you that I'd take care of everything...
if my condition made you sad.
But you said it was incurable.
The chances of the surgery going well were slim, that's all.
- How slim? - Well...
About 20 percent? It was 5 percent 10 years ago.
- Are you out of your mind? - Gosh.
You're crazy. What would you have done if it had cost your life?
You're the crazy one.
How were you going to live without me?
Why would you do such a risky thing for me? I'm nothing special.
You?
I've risked my life twice for you.
Repay me for the rest of your life.
I did it all for you,
so you take care of me now, for the rest of our lives.
I will take care of you for the rest of our lives.
I'll give you everything you want.
You'll regret it.
There's something I've wanted to do with you.
What is it?
What...is it?
What?
Please spare my life.
It's me.
It's Ok Jeong.
Are you okay? Aren't you tired?
Be quiet.
I'm watching a movie right now.
Do you know how long I waited to watch this with you?
Look at me.
I can look at you anytime I want now.
I told you to look at me.
Gosh, seriously...
I was trying so hard to hold back.
You really wove this yourself?
Yes, I really did it myself.
All these clothes?
Yes, all these clothes.
It fits perfectly.
I'm glad.
I guess you thought of me all day except for when you were sleeping.
No, I even thought of you while I was asleep.
What?
It's just...
I want your scent all over me.
You don't have to worry about that.
I thought of this sweater as you,
and hugged it in my sleep whenever I missed you.
When you left the letter here,
I ran outside to see you.
But you weren't there.
The day I ran away?
I wasn't sure I'd be able to look at your crying face,
so that day...
I ran away.
Is it really okay for me to do this?
Being with you like this...
so shamelessly.
I'm the one who's shameless.
I risked my life...
and now I'm asking you to be responsible for it.
I regret making that choice.
Because I left,
I wasn't beside you during the hardest time of your life.
I regret it so much.
Because of my choice,
I almost lost everyone...
including you and me.
I was too selfish.
No.
You were just...
in so much pain back then.
It's okay.
I'm right here next to you.
You better not run away.
I promise not to run away.
Forever.
But...
if you want to run away, you can go anytime.
I'll go and catch you.
I'll chase you till the end and catch you.
I'll come back for you.
There's no need to come.
I'll go.
So...
just wait for me there.
Hey, Woo Mi.
I'm going back to Seoul.
I'm back...
after meeting her.
- Se Gye? - Yes.
How is she doing?
She's...
not doing so well.
Yes, I thought so.
Will you be alright?
She left you.
Are you still okay with that?
No.
You're wrong.
That's not true.
Someday...
I will tell you someday.
Did you call to ask me because you're worried?
Because you're afraid I might be against you meeting her.
Her life...
is surrounded by so many misunderstandings.
She's not that type of person.
But the situation itself leaves her no choice.
Do as you please.
I won't interfere with...
your life choices anymore.
There must be a good reason for the choices you make.
I'll just watch from afar...
and lend a hand when you need me.
Mom.
You coming back alive is good enough for me.
Do anything you want, regardless of what it is.
Thank you.
When are you coming back to work then?
Welcome back, President Seo.
- Welcome back, President Seo. - Welcome back, President Seo.
How has everyone been?
(T Road Air Business Plan)
Now, let's...
begin all the meetings that I've missed.
- Oh, gosh. - Hey.
Have you been doing well?
No. What do you think?
Woo Mi bullied me so much while you weren't around,
- and she always got angry... - Hey!
When did I bully you?
Look at her. She shouted and swore at me.
Seriously, it was terrible without you.
He needs a good beating.
I've been too nice. Come here.
- Come here. - Come on.
You little brat.
You deserve it for talking such nonsense.
Look. She always hits and criticizes me.
She's the one I hate the most.
You're all I have.
It finally feels like I'm home.
You look gaunt.
Thanks to your mom's food, I'm still alive.
Tell her I'm grateful.
Tell her yourself.
My mom's dying to see you.
She's been so sad to have lost her Go-Stop partner.
I better go there and make her lose quite a bit of money.
Hey, what should we do after unpacking?
How about a long-awaited drink among ourselves?
No. I have somewhere to be.
Do you see that? He's been like this ever since being in a relationship.
What a traitor.
- Then how about us two... - Sorry.
I also have to go somewhere.
Look at you two.
You think I don't have people to hang out with?
I have somewhere to be as well, okay?
Gosh.
- Hey, honey. - What?
It's me.
Are you busy later?
You are?
Think again.
- By the way, what about that room? - What?
What happened to that room with the framed photos?
It was empty.
I was going to pick you up.
I was afraid you would, so I came here.
I've always been receiving them.
I don't know how to react.
I've never received flowers before.
As someone who has received countless of them,
it's not a big deal.
Just show a big smile and receive them.
You have a way of driving me crazy.
I became the president.
This was my first day as President Seo.
Really?
Good thing I brought flowers.
And for your celebratory gift?
How about having instant noodles at my place?
All the photos...
were here.
After you disappeared,
I wanted to take a photo of you to remember you by.
But I didn't know which one was you.
Then it struck me.
They were all you.
That's why.
I guess...
you saw them all.
My faces.
I did.
And I was happy that I could see them all.
Perhaps,
it'll be harder from now on...
since you'll be able to recognize me.
I seem to only make you suffer.
Don't worry.
I'm not in love with your outer shell.
What I love...
is what is...
inside you.
How did someone so amazing come into my life?
No.
You came into my life.
You came...
into my life.
"We sit in the back of the classroom..."
"so that we won't be visible..."
"from the windows."
"'How did you know that it was me?'"
"I can't help but ask."
"While gazing at me,"
"she speaks."
"'No one else but you...'"
"'would look at me like that.'"
How did you know I was doing this?
Well...
President Yu has been your friend,
but she's now mine as well.
And Eun Ho is like a brother to me.
Once they befriend someone,
they tend to be loyal until the end.
You're right.
Every time I missed hearing your voice, I turned this on.
I bet I left about 300 comments on it.
You know, when you asked about eating instant noodles,
I didn't think you meant it in the literal sense.
What? Were you expecting something else?
No.
So those are what lustful eyes look like.
- You're totally wrong. - You should've been more subtle.
- Gosh, you're wrong. - Gosh, I'm right.
It tastes good.
You're really good at cooking instant noodles.
Spend the night.
Why? Do you not want to?
Why would you suddenly say that while eating instant noodles?
Do I need to follow a certain procedure before saying that?
Didn't you say it was all about the timing?
There's something I've been curious about.
What is that?
Isn't it obvious? It's my girlfriend.
What do you mean? I'm your girlfriend.
I have a wish.
A wish? What is it?
Tell me. I'll grant it.
I want to watch a movie.
One of your movies.
A movie?
Again?
Sure.
- What should we watch? - No.
It's boring to re-watch the old ones.
I want to watch a new one with your starring in it.
Just listening to your voice doesn't satisfy me anymore.
Will you grant it?
You're so kind.
What a good girl.
Sir.
I'm Yu Woo Mi.
I'm Yu Woo Mi of World Entertainment.
Don't you trust me?
Your sharp-sightedness has been proven...
through Han Se Gye.
But this movie is a blockbuster.
The cast has to be top-notch.
Also, the director wishes...
to have an experienced actress.
Exactly.
That's why you should trust me.
For you to be talking so highly of her,
she must be quite competent.
Fine then. Let's do it.
Let's meet her.
You won't regret it.
I told her to be on time.
Hi.
Hello, sir.
It's been a while.
What do you think?
She's a competent and experienced actress.
Let's sign the contract.
Right now.
Cut. Okay.
You did well.
- Was it okay? - Is that even a question?
You did so well,
Actress Han.
Do you know how long I waited for a chance to say this?
She can retire and come back as she pleases.
How convenient of her to live the life she wants.
Why did she even retire in the first place?
It was such a short break.
Those little... Excuse me.
I'm okay.
What can I do? I deserve it.
I should take responsibility for my actions.
Ms. Han Se Gye.
- Let's wrap up for today. - Already?
What do you mean? Thanks to you, we're getting off early.
Also,
your boyfriend is here.
What?
He is one strange man.
If he follows you around longer,
his company will go under.
- What is this? - Your contract.
(Spokesmodel Contract)
I'm giving you this offer as the president of the company.
Let's sign the contract.
Be T Road Air's spokesmodel.
You should give this to President Yu, not me.
She is one fastidious woman.
She refused to even look at it even though we're friends.
I need my girlfriend's help.
Put in a good word for me.
Is this a solicitation?
If it were, would you report me?
Do you have a pen?
Here.
(President, Seo Do Jae)
(Han Se Gye)
Mr. Sponsor,
I'll do my utmost best to please you.
What did I say?
Didn't I tell you to peruse contracts before signing?
What?
If the employer requests so,
the employee must accompany him on business trips.
While accompanying,
the employee must wear a red dress.
Again? When?
Well, whenever.
When does the shooting end?
Why are you still obsessed over red dresses?
There's no need for that anymore.
The truth is,
my ideal type of women are those who wear red dresses.
I can't believe you.
Your outfit today is close enough.
This is pink.
- Sure. - It's pink.
Sure.
Look at that face.
Or that face.
I could turn into either of them.
Will you still be okay?
We've already gone through this.
Bet your life...
on me.
(The Beauty Inside's soundtrack album can be found on music sites.)
(The Beauty Inside)
Come out. Let's go on a date.
Mr. Han Se Gye's Boyfriend.
I'll call you when I'm done.
Or not.
He's so considerate of me.
He calls me immediately once he gets off work.
Are you bragging in front of me?
Do you have a boyfriend?
She does.
So now,
love me...
and yourself.
