12 YEARS PROMISE
EPISODE 17
Be quiet. Be quiet.
I was hitting on her?
Are you kidding me?
Maybe I was flirting a little.
Good morning. Good afternoon. Good night.
I was only trying to speak English to be polite.
"Don't act like we're close."
I won't.
"'Don't poke your nose..."
Fine. I dare you to ask me for help.
Geez.
Okay. I'll just keep this up.
I don't make the same mistake twice, Yu Jun-su.
She must be suffering some kind of trauma from being friendly to men.
Just do as she says.
She's just so guarded.
You two just don't get along.
One thing is clear. She doesn't like me.
She definitely doesn't.
You know, that goes for me too.
You're always going to be the same annoying guy.
Are you trying to make me feel worse?
Why don't you come clean?
What?
You're interested in her.
Are you kidding me? I'm going on a blind date.
You've been going on countless blind dates.
I'm going to make this one work.
Then what about Da-hae?
What do you mean? She's just a friend.
Right? Da-hae's just a friend, and Jang Guk is gone...
Park Mu-cheol,
why bring that up all of a sudden?
You should get over Guk. I think you're still...
Stop being so melodramatic. That's enough.
You've got to be kidding me. That was so long ago.
Don't make plans this weekend.
-Why not? -Da-hae's coming.
Really?
That's great. It's been awhile since the three of us got together.
If my blind date goes well, there will be four of us.
Fine. Good luck.
"Hakuna matata."
The weather's so nice.
Hi, mom.
Hey, son. I totally forgot.
Forgot what?
I was out of my mind because of Jun-seong's surprise visit.
Your dinner date with Ms. Yun Jeong-hui has been set.
Who's that?
What's the matter with you?
Your blind date.
Oh, right.
I could've done all that if you had just given me her number.
You didn't have to go through all that.
Why are you being so considerate all of a sudden?
You went out of your way for me. This is the least I can do.
What time am I seeing her?
Eight o'clock. Is that okay?
Yes.
My boy's all grown up.
This isn't my first blind date. Relax.
I'll do a good job.
Okay. Bye, son.
Bye.
Mr. Yu.
-Here. -I know you're there.
-Are you going on a blind date? -Yeah.
-Again? -Watch it.
This is the last one.
I'm going to marry this woman and turn my life around.
Who is this woman you say will turn your life around?
I hear she's loaded.
Does she have a sister or a friend?
You've been surfing the web all day and you only got four pages?
Here's what you asked for.
-Thank you. -Should I keep searching?
I'll look at this first.
Why don't people these days take work more seriously?
What is this?
I'll do it over.
-You'd better. And do this one over too. -Got it.
-Just for a second. -Ms. Jang's here.
It'll just be a second. I have something to tell you.
What is it?
What do you want? I don't want to get on Ms. Jang's bad side.
Mr. Yu's going on a blind date.
So?
I'm just jealous.
If you are, you go on a blind date yourself.
What's your team working on anyhow?
It's this designer Mr. Woo or something.
Ms. Jang's totally obsessed.
Who is that?
Don't get me started.
I have to go.
You have tell me what that's about, Ms. Kang.
Bye.
What could it be?
I got it. It's Mr. Woo.
Ms. Jang's project is Mr. Woo.
I don't care if it's Mr. Woo or Mr. Jang.
You were talking about mutual assistance.
Shouldn't we get a piece of the action?
I don't feel like getting involved.
That wasn't the original plan.
I decided not to care.
Are you going on the blind date because your American style approach
didn't work out?
Are you mocking me? Fine. I'm Korean style.
That looks awful. It makes you look so old.
Hang on.
How about this?
This is so much better.
Better, right?
I prefer this one. This one's shiny.
-That's what I heard. -Who would've thought Mr. Yu was...
Oh, my goodness, Ms. Jang. Let me help you.
These are so heavy.
Ms. Jang, Mr. Yu's going on a blind date.
Mr. Yu's quite famous for that.
-Famous for what? -You didn't know?
You see...
Rumor has it that he's always jumping from girl to girl.
He's always going on blind dates,
but he never sees the same woman twice.
Mr. Yu's handsome enough.
I bet quite a few women are chasing after him.
I see.
I should get back to work.
-Let's work, ladies. -Okay.
All the handsome guys must've died off.
He's just a player.
Oh...
I'm going downstairs to check on something.
Yes, Ms. Jang.
See you.
Did you pick up on that accent?
Ms. Kang, when can we go home?
Why is she going downstairs now?
Get back to work.
What was that?
What are you looking at?
I thought you were stand-offish, but maybe I was wrong.
What are you talking about?
I saw you earlier being rather friendly with my buddy.
Mu-cheol and I are very close.
You only just met him.
Leave me alone and just worry about your blind date.
Are you being like this because I'm going on a blind date?
Are you a narcissist?
Everybody needs to love themselves, right?
Men who say that tend to be skirt chasers.
Skirt... chaser?
Excuse me, Ms. Jang.
Me? Skirt chaser?
She doesn't know a thing about me.
I should have just ignored him.
Mom, I'm back.
Why didn't you go straight upstairs?
I wanted to drop by and say hello first.
-Are you busy? -No.
How's the department store?
Department store?
Your new job.
It's fine. I've been doing it for a long time now.
But why do you look so tired?
You don't like the company?
Not at all. There's no such thing as a perfect job.
But you were scouted. That should count for something.
Don't worry. I'll make it count.
That's my girl. I have faith in you.
Go on up and unwind.
Well...
Yes?
Mom.
Tell me.
It's nothing.
What? What is it?
I'm just asking, okay?
Okay.
It's about Jun-su.
-Jun-su? -Yes.
Are you talking about Yu Jun-su?
Yes.
Why?
You've never talked about him before.
Is something wrong?
No.
Did you hear something about him?
He came to mind now that I'm back in Korea.
Why would you think about him?
Just thinking about him makes me tremble with rage.
You haven't heard anything about him, right?
Why would I?
What did I just say? Just thinking about him enrages me.
-If you hear anything-- -That's enough.
Why are you even thinking about him?
Erase him from your life.
Don't you ever think about him again. Understand?
Answer me.
I understand.
Talking about this leaves a bitter taste in my mouth,
but I'll do it just this once.
Listen to me carefully.
I have no doubt in my mind,
that if I had been who I am now
and had the money and power I now have,
I would've destroyed him and his family for what they did to you.
They should be thankful that I was ignorant, poor and powerless
back then.
What are you doing, mom?
You're so sneaky.
You even got a new tie.
Why did you act like you didn't want to go?
I didn't get it for the blind date.
I needed it for something else.
You could wear a straw rope around your neck and still look good.
Really?
It'd be so nice if all women thought that way.
But why are you in such a hurry to marry me off?
You have a good job and good looks.
You also have a great personality and a great body.
You have it all, but people keep asking me why you're not married.
Every time that happens,
do you know how stressful it is?
Why can't people just mind their own business?
I can't explain things to each one of them.
Don't you think it's unfair that they think you can't date
because there's something wrong with you?
I get it.
Can we call it a night though? I need to get some sleep.
Okay. Good night.
-You have a good night too. -Okay.
Mr. Woo, was it?
Let's see what the big deal is.
Did you enjoy the extremely lengthy talk with your son?
It's what I live for.
That's what I mean.
You want him to get married, but when he does,
you'll be crying your eyes out, I bet.
I can't wait for that to happen, Jeong-han.
It's hot. Leave me alone.
Oh, come on.
Darn it.
Habits are scary.
It hasn't been long since I started drinking coffee,
but now I need it after every meal.
You don't say.
What's that?
It must be dumpling stuffing. Bring it here.
Let's see.
What do you think?
Well... I think it's a bit runny.
Why do you think that is?
The tofu wasn't dried thoroughly today.
Tell that to Ms. Choi.
Yes, ma'am.
Wow.
For a girl so small, she's as strong as an ox.
Have you come up with anything?
About what?
About getting Hun to fall in love with Ham-cho.
Listen, sister.
Frankly, Hun's too good for her.
He's so handsome and slick.
Why would a boy like him say yes to a girl like her?
So what do we do?
Kids these days need to feel the chemistry.
Without it, it'll never work.
Make them feel the chemistry then.
My goodness, Il-suk.
I'm no fairy godmother.
Why are you so obsessed with that girl anyway?
I'm a good judge of character.
She's patient and sincere unlike other kids her age.
As you say, Hun's always trying
to take the easy way out.
Ham-cho's the only girl who can turn him into a real man.
Even if that's true, you have no right to meddle.
You're not even his mother. You're his grandmother.
The ingredients are not in proper proportion. Redo these.
Pardon? All of this, Ms, Choi?
Yes.
But we'll be opening for business soon.
If you can't do it by opening time, we'll just have to close for the day.
-Then what about these? -Throw them out.
Pardon?
What are you doing?
Get the ingredients out.
Min-sik, throw these out. Follow me.
I'm going to use this. Don't throw it out.
-This too. -Okay.
-There's no time. We have to hurry. -Okay.
Um...
Why? Do you have something to say?
Yes. I...
Ms. Choi.
Hurry up and spit it out, will you?
This morning, Hun...
Hun? Why do you care so much about him?
It's unbecoming of a girl that cares so much for boys.
I'm sorry.
I'll be more careful from now on.
In any case...
Why did you go into Hun's room?
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't be going into a grown man's room.
That can be fodder for gossip. Do you understand?
Yes.
I let you live with us because you had no place to stay,
but you need to remember that people talk and gossip.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Where is she from?
She's from Jeungdo.
She doesn't seem very educated.
Do you need schooling to make dumplings?
Go-sun won't find Ham-cho good enough.
So what? Are you happy with your daughters-in-law?
Who's ever perfectly satisfied with their daughters-in-law?
A daughter-like daughter-in-law?
A son-like son-in-law?
That's just crazy talk, you know?
What are you saying?
So you want to marry Hun off to Ham-cho
and pass down Dal-lae Dumplings to them, right?
You don't think that will be possible?
Sister,
that's not the issue. The dumplings are secondary.
Those two kids aren't in love.
And Go-sun isn't keen on Ham-cho. How will you make this happen?
What about this?
What about Dal-lae Dumplings?
We need to keep this going.
I don't know how many years I have left.
Some people live to be over 100 years old, so stop it.
You never know when death will come knocking at your door.
You're jinxing yourself. Stop.
Relax.
You'll make yourself sick.
Make sure you check these six. Got it?
Okay.
And also find out about
the cinematic expressions of each era, okay?
-That's your assignment. -Okay.
Class dismissed.
-Thank you. -Bye.
Ham-cho.
Mr. Yu.
What's up?
Is something wrong?
No.
You don't sound good. Are you sick?
No.
You were scolded, right?
-You can't take time off today, right? -No.
Are you done with your class?
Of course.
Do you want me to come by and see you?
No. I'll probably be busy today.
This is all I needed. Hearing your voice has made me feel better.
I should go.
Okay, Ham-cho.
How many stores have leases that are about to end?
Only one.
-Where? -That one.
He must be going on that blind date tonight.
Right?
Mr. Yu.
You look very nice as always.
Thank you.
What a nasty sight.
Are things going well?
Yes, thank you.
That's good. I hope they keep going well.
Yes, of course.
Right.
Things must be so tough for you, Ms. Kang.
Take good care of your health. You're delicate as it is.
You're concerned about me?
Thank you, Mr. Yu.
Don't mention it.
You must be exhausted.
-I'll catch up with you. -Yes, Ms. Jang.
Hey!
What the...
Oh, come on.
I should've gotten him with this.
Ms. Yun Jeong-hui?
Mr. Yu Jun-su?
Yes.
Have you had dinner?
No. Not yet.
I'm very hungry.
Should we start off with dinner
and a drink?
Sure.
Can we go someplace nearby?
Sure.
Mr. Woo Project
Is this all you found?
Information was very limited.
Their corporate headquarter is in Milan
and their stores are at Harrods in London, Goodman in New York, and Isetan in Japan.
But information is limited?
If you know the brand so well, why don't you tell us where to look?
Mr. Woo has rejected offers from countless department stores.
Look again.
Locate Mr. Woo's logo designer.
Also find out why Mr. Woo was named one of 2013's top 3 menswear brands
by Public School and Time magazines.
I don't want information I already know.
I see.
If she knows so much, why ask us to do the research?
I'd love some soju right now.
Thanks to you, I was able to find a great new home.
You make it sound like I bought the apartment for you.
Cheers.
I really like tako wasabi.
So I make tako wasabi at home,
as side dish for drinking.
You must enjoy drinking.
It's not just the alcohol. I enjoy the ambience.
Like I do right now.
Ambience is important to me as well.
My glass is empty.
So, it is. How rude of me.
How rude of me again.
Wait. Wait.
Hello, Ms. Jang. You must be going home.
Yes.
Have you had dinner?
Yes. What about you?
Of course.
Did you get everything I explained to you earlier?
-Of course. -If you get stuck, you can ask Jun-su...
I mean, you can ask Mr. Yu.
Sorry.
Yes, Ms. Lee.
Yes.
Has something happened to Mu-hui?
That's what I'd like to ask you.
What do you mean?
Mu-hui hasn't come to school all week.
You didn't know?
No, I didn't.
I'm so sorry, Ms. Lee.
Yes. Okay.
You must've been worried. I'm so sorry.
Okay.
Did something happen to your little sister?
I'm sorry. I have to run.
Mu-cheol...
I hope it's nothing serious.
Park Mu-hui, how dare you ignore my call again?
Taxi.
I need my paycheck.
What are you talking about? It's not nine o'clock yet.
Then just dock today's pay and give me the rest.
What's wrong with you?
My brother won't stop calling me,
which means he's caught on.
Your brother?
You can't just walk out on us.
Oh, come on. This is why I get paid by the day.
This is a part-time gig, but where are your work ethics?
I'm a highschool student.
-Is this even legal? -What?
This is a bar, right?
You said you were 20.
I checked when I photocopied your ID.
I flunked out a year.
You can't just walk out.
We don't have a replacement. You can't do this to us.
No?
Fine. If you don't pay me, I'll go straight to the police.
I'll get suspended from school, and your business will be suspended.
Let's see who suffers more.
Hey!
Just pay her. We have customers. Don't cause a scene.
My backpack, please.
Here.
This is all I have.
Wire the rest to my bank account.
You'd better not rip me off.
Min-ji, I think my brother knows.
If he calls you, I'm at home, okay?
Let Hui-jin know too.
Hui-jin? This is Mu-cheol.
Do you know where Mu-hui is? You don't?
You really don't know? I'll believe you just this once.
Okay.
Where can she be?
You're going to get it when I find you.
Park Mu-hui! This is so exhausting.
If you're not home, you'll get it from me.
That's odd.
She's sleeping.
Why can't she tuck herself in properly?
What a girl...
What am I going to do with you, Park Mu-hui?
Welcome.
-Can I get some dumplings to go? -Of course.
I'd like two orders to go then.
-That will be 16 dollars. -Okay.
Please sign here.
Sure.
Here you go.
Please take a seat.
Okay.
Where are you, Ham-cho?
I'm at Dallae Dumplings, but I don't see you.
I came by because I was worried about you. Call me if you're not too busy.
What are you doing, Ham-cho? Everyone else is busy with closing.
Clean that up!
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Tae-sik, two orders to go.
Got it.
Ms. Choi, the dumplings are ready.
Okay.
Sir?
Oh.
Your order's ready.
Thank you.
-Please come again. -Good night.
Is he a regular? He looks so familiar.
Negotiations between the ruling party and the opposing party
are being made regarding the increase of the transfer tax law.
Both parties do not want this to drag on to the new year.
From dumplings to riches. CEO Choi Go-Sun's story.
-Mom. -Hey, Da-hae.
You had dinner before you started drinking, right?
I had a little something at the spa. What about you?
I ate.
Hey, Da-hae.
I have something to talk about. Sit down.
I can't take it anymore.
What do you mean?
I know I should hold out for your sake.
What is this about?
Well...
Would it be okay if I divorced your father?
Why are you asking me for permission?
But he's your father.
Father?
I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.
When dad abandoned us 12 years ago, I decided to forget him.
I see.
It's your life, Mom.
Thank you for being so understanding.
Do whatever you want to do.
I'm going to.
I'll get the paperwork squared away and get a new start.
I'm going to put myself first from now on.
-Homeless? -I'm not homeless.
Thank you. If it hadn't been for you...
I'm home.
Beom-suk.
No, it's okay. I must get going.
-Ouch! -What's wrong?
-I think I stepped on something. -Let's see.
Hold on.
Hey.
Yes?
-You got takeout, right? -What?
Oh, right. I got dumplings.
Dumplings?
That's perfect. I was in the mood for a snack.
You want some?
You only got enough for yourself?
No, no. It's just Beom-suk hates dumplings.
It's fine. We can keep it a secret.
She doesn't have to know about everything I eat.
Hang on.
Jeong-han.
-Kimchi. -Nice.
Sit, sit. Get the soy sauce.
Chopsticks.
Enjoy.
Hey, do you know
why dumplings are called dumplings?
Are you talking about the etymology of dumpling?
Su-han, where is...
What are you doing, Jeong-han?
Honey.
-Oh, my goodness. -Jeong-han.
What's the matter?
-Water. Water. -Go get him some water.
What's wrong, Jeong-han?
Are these dumplings?
Have you lost your mind?
I told you. No dumplings in this house!
-You're crazy. You're crazy. -Here comes water!
Water, water. Drink up and wash it down.
Good heavens.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
That was a close call.
I thought you were going to choke.
It's because you startled me.
There's so much to eat. Why did you have to stuff in this trash?
This is the second time dumplings almost killed my husband.
Don't bring this nasty stuff into our home ever again!
Stuff my face?
-Why, that little... -Jeong-han.
Are you sure you're okay?
You washed it all down, right?
Look at you.
Are you sure you're okay?
Oh my...
These stupid dumplings.
I can't stand dumplings!
I hate them!
Thank you.
Ms. Yun, wake up.
You're home.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Lean on me. Lean on me.
Thank you.
Where do we go? Where is your apartment?
-My apartment? -Yes.
-There it is. -Okay.
Let's go.
Are you all right?
What's your apartment number?
-My apartment number? -Yes. What is it?
-Room 801. -Room 801? Then it should...
This way. 801. Let's go to 801.
Oh, my head.
Why are we backing up? We have to get to 801.
Room 801 should be this way.
Here it is.
Are you okay? Can you stand by yourself?
My head...
I'll get going then. Have a good night.
Oh, no.
What's your passcode?
What was my passcode?
Oh, it's one, five, eight, zero.
You should get inside.
It's open.
I'll get going then, Ms. Yun.
Take care. Goodbye.
Oh, my head.
Where are you going, Mr. Yu?
Hey! Yu Jun-su!
What the...
What a jerk.
Hey, Yu Jun-su! Darn it.
Wow. That is hilarious.
Things were going so well. She was totally into me.
So why did I...
Hey, Mu-cheol, what's wrong with me?
Are you afraid it'll turn out the way it did with Jang Guk?
No.
Then what's the problem? How many times have you done this?
I'm upset enough as it is. Why are you making things worse?
Isn't Guk the only person who can make this go away?
Do you want a piece of me, Huh?
I'm about to lose it, man.
Yu Jun-su,
the fact that you still get worked up every time I mention Guk
means you're still scarred.
Still scarred?
That scar turned into scab and peeled off a long time ago.
I'm still scarred? No way. That's crazy talk.
Then get over her or look for her.
Don't you want to find Guk?
No.
Why not? If I were you, I'd--
Hey, she disappeared into thin air without saying a word, okay?
She left me like I meant nothing to her.
How can I be hung up on someone like that?
But you are.
No, I'm not.
If you ever mention Jang Guk in front of me again,
I'll make you pay.
Yeah, you are all talk.
What did you say?
You need to calm down, okay?
Yu Jun-su.
Wake up, kiddo.
What time did you get in?
I'm so curious, Jun-su.
Jun-su.
What's this?
Oh, my.
Hey, Jun-su, how far did you get with her?
Did you score?
No...
What did you think? She's great, right?
She's really top tier, right?
Goodness.
Hey, Jun-su, would you like me to get you red ginseng?
You're having a hard time waking up these days.
I'm fine. It's just that you wake me up too early.
I don't have a nine-to-six job.
Plus, today's my day off, so please let me sleep.
Your dad's not feeling well.
What's wrong?
He got indigestion from dumplings.
It's maddening.
Jun-su, I'm really upset.
Take that shirt off.
Here.
Dad.
Good grief.
How did he hold himself back all this time?
She must've really liked him, too.
Dad, I heard you had indigestion.
Why did she have to wake you up over nothing?
-Should I take you to the doctor's? -No.
Your mom's so weird.
Why is she so sensitive about dumplings?
Porridge.
What's this?
Beom-suk made it.
She gets me sick, and now she acts like she cares.
Well, look at you.
Enjoying porridge with your son and brother by your side.
You'd better watch it.
What? You shouldn't have been sneaking around.
Because you're so weird about dumplings.
No dumplings. Never ever. It's bad luck.
You're just being absurd.
Absurd?
They remind me of my worst enemy.
Stop it, mom. You don't want dad to be sick, do you?
This is my son.
Good for you.
Good morning, Grandma, Jolie, Mom, Dal-lae.
Are you going on a date?
You're very observant.
Yes, I am.
-Hun. -Yes?
What kind of women do you go for?
The voluptuous type?
Well...
I like women who look very youthful like Ms. Choi Go-sun here
but are also sexy and feminine...
You want to start with a morning beating?
Sorry.
I should go.
What's wrong? You haven't eaten much.
This must be hard.
She used to have a piece of toast and eggs for breakfast back in the States.
I find it hard myself having rice three times a day.
Then should I start making toast?
Just get me some whole grain bread. I'll toast it.
I'll get going then.
-Don't come home too late. -I won't.
See you later.
She looks so pretty.
Ham-cho, go on in and eat.
Speak up.
I will.
-Bye. -Drive safe.
May I be excused?
What's this? Did you make it?
Yes.
Did you make it with the stuffing from yesterday?
Yes, ma'am.
I didn't know you could make this with dumpling stuffing.
She has a knack for cooking, doesn't she?
What's keeping you? Get some rice and join us.
Yes, ma'am.
Mom, why isn't grandma ever happy with me?
It's not like that.
She was glaring at me all throughout breakfast.
Buy me a car, mom.
No.
Why not?
Hun.
Please, mom. Please.
Okay, fine. You can use mine today.
Nice.
Are you that happy?
Yes.
But you make me happier.
Watch it! My neck.
You hurt my neck.
Honk, honk. Here I come. Honk, honk.
Excuse me. Do you know where Geumdeok Real Estate is?
Oh, the realtor?
It's just a bit farther down this way.
Down this way?
Thank you.
Hello? Anybody there?
Hello?
Maybe I've come too early.
Hello? Hello?
Oh, no.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER
Is he the one who fell?
Please help him. Oh, no.
