12 YEARS PROMISE
EPISODE 19
Why are you following me?
You're drunk.
No, I'm not.
Drunk people never admit to being drunk.
Why do you care?
Why do you keep raising your voice?
I'm not deaf.
It's late. I'll drop you off.
Drop me off where?
Home.
Home? Whose home?
Your home.
I'm at a loss for words. Why would you take me home?
The thing is...
I've been wanting to tell you.
I need to check something.
Check something?
Check what?
Just do it here.
Go ahead.
Hug...
Pardon?
People hug, right?
Let's try it one more time.
What did you say?
I'd like another hug.
You're nuts. Did you get shot?
Did you get shot by a machine gun?
Can you speak in Busan accent?
That sounded authentic. Is your family from Gyeongsang-do?
No, we're not.
It sounded so natural.
Where's your hometown?
Oh, my.
Just leave me alone.
Stop harassing me.
Why are you doing this to--
Ms. Jang.
It's not safe.
Just go, please.
What's the matter with me?
The food here is great.
Where's Jun-su?
Yeah. Where is he? Did he fall into the toilet?
You've got a text message.
I'm sorry. I have to go home.
Get Da-hae home safely.
What is it?
Huh?
Something must've come up.
Was that Jun-su?
He had to go home.
It's because of her, right?
No. He says something's come up.
Am I supposed to believe that?
Ju Da-hae, it's work.
Stop stressing yourself out.
Hey, Ju Da-hae.
Oh, man.
I'm left all alone again.
Wait up.
It's nicely peeled.
Here you go, Hong.
Dad, I'd like a rice drink.
I'll make sure to get you some.
I don't think we should stay here any longer.
I'll go and find us a place to live.
Just take a nap here, okay?
Okay. Look at me, Daddy.
I'm not burning up anymore.
That's my boy.
I'll only be an hour, okay?
Okay.
My dear baby boy.
Take a nap after you finish these.
Finish these and go to sleep, okay?
Go on. Eat.
Gaon Dallae Dumplings...
Valet wanted?
GAON DALLAE DUMPLINGS
Why isn't he coming?
You're expecting a client?
Yeah. He must've come by in the morning.
He said he'd come later in the evening.
You want to wait here with me?
No. I want to watch a soap opera.
Take it easy.
See you.
Rats.
I need a new pair of shoes.
Excuse me.
Welcome.
The realtor down the street recommended me here.
Yes, she called. Please take a seat.
Thank you.
I heard you were looking for a monthly rental.
She couldn't find me a place over there, so...
Are you...
Ju Cheol-su.
You have the wrong person.
- Da-hae's... - That's not me.
Da-hae's dad.
No, I'm not.
Da-hae has become a doctor.
Yeong-hui's doing well too.
Why isn't she answering?
Hey, what are you doing?
I had dinner with Jeong-han, and I just got home.
I'm so jealous.
You said you were getting a new start.
You'll have your own man.
Did you talk to Da-hae?
Yeah. She told me to go ahead.
She said I should just do what I want.
But it's her dad. It couldn't have been easy for her.
He hasn't come to see her in 10 years. What kind of father does that?
Yeah, right.
Da-hae may be rational,
but she's a little too cold.
I'm home, Mom.
- Is that Jun-su? - Yeah.
Wait a minute.
Da-hae said she was meeting Jun-su. Why's he back already?
I don't know. They met this evening?
Yeah. I have to go.
Why isn't Da-hae home if he's already back?
Okay. Bye.
Ms. Jang Dal-lae.
Jun-su.
Hi, Da-hae.
Jang Dal-lae. Dal-lae...
Where did she come from?
Yeah, Mom.
Where are you?
In front of the hospital.
Did you get an ER patient?
Yes.
Hey, Da-hae, I'm just curious.
What is it?
Don't you have any other men you can see?
There are great guys at the hospital. Why don't you go out with one of them?
Why waste your time with Jun-su?
This again?
I have to go. Bye.
Da-hae...
Geez.
Why is she so hung up on Jun-su?
It's such a waste.
Wait a minute. Da-hae's marriage is more urgent
than me getting a divorce.
No.
I need to get divorced first,
so that I can really focus on Da-hae's marriage.
That's right. My divorce comes first.
Yeah.
Hello? Is this the attorney's office?
I'd like to talk to someone about divorce proceedings.
Mr. Ju.
Oh, please. No need for formalities.
How have you been?
You've aged.
Time ages us all.
When did you get back?
It hasn't been long.
Aren't you curious about Da-hae?
She's...
You said she is a doctor.
Yes.
She's a fourth-year resident in the orthopedic surgery department.
My younger son Jun-seong is in his first year of residency.
They're both doctors.
Thank you, Lord.
Yeong-hui's doing well too.
That's good to hear.
Don't you want to see her?
I can't do that.
Because of that woman?
No, no. We're separated.
Is that why you've returned to Korea?
Yes, Jeong-han.
May I call you Jeong-han from now on?
And please call me Cheol-su.
All right. We'll do that.
I'm ashamed to ask, but could you do me a favor?
Of course. Anything.
Well...
Help me find a place to live.
I have nowhere to go.
Okay. I'll do whatever it takes to find you a place.
Thank you so much.
Yeong-hui and Da-hae live around here too.
No.
They can't know that I'm back.
Why not?
I can't let them see me like this.
Don't you want to see Da-hae?
No, I don't.
But she's your daughter.
I do miss her. But I need to get back on my feet first.
Think about how long you've kept them waiting.
It's been over a decade.
No, Jeong-han. You have to keep this a secret.
How can I? You're back in Korea.
If you tell them, I'll just disappear again.
What?
Please don't tell Beom-suk
or anyone else for that matter.
Okay. Fine.
Did you see Da-hae?
Yeah. With Mu-cheol.
I see.
Did you talk to Da-hae's mom?
Yeah. Da-hae didn't say anything?
No. Why do you ask?
Just...
So have you made any progress with Jeong-hui?
Are you seeing her again?
Actually, Mom...
That's over.
Over?
It's over?
But you kissed and made out on the first date.
That only happened because we were drunk.
We're not into each other at all.
I'm home.
Get out! Get out, you ingrate!
How dare you?
What's the matter, Beom-suk?
He's old enough to know better.
How dare he stab me in the back?
She's upset that my blind date didn't go well.
That was days ago.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
You didn't ask. And I knew this is how you'd react.
Come on. We've been through this many times.
- Why you little... - Calm down.
How can I?
I went out of my way to do this for him.
You shouldn't trouble yourself anymore then.
What did you say? What did you say?
- Ow, Mom. It hurts. - It's supposed to hurt.
Get out.
If you're not going to get married, get out of my sight.
I think I've made life too comfortable for you.
I'm not cooking or doing laundry for you anymore.
You do it yourself.
If I wash a single sock for you,
my name isn't Pyeong Beom-suk!
Got it, Yu Jun-su?
It's not that you made life too comfortable for me.
I just love you and dad so much that I don't want to get married.
Let's live together happily ever after.
I can't stand you.
This is so upsetting.
What a...
I actually expected it to be much worse.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
I have to go.
You're on night shift.
Do it for me.
- I'm tired. - I'll do whatever you ask me.
What is it? Are you going on a date with Dr. Ju?
Yeah.
Please help me out.
Then you take my next night shift. Deal?
Deal. Deal.
- Deal? - Deal.
A soju and an udon, please.
Okay.
- Make that two udons. - Sure thing.
- Did you teleport here? - Yes.
- You didn't have dinner with Jun-su? - We had grilled pork.
Here you go.
I haven't seen you in a long time.
You must've been busy.
Thank you.
You look cuter every time.
You look prettier every time.
Stop pulling my leg.
Enjoy.
I can't drink because I'm on duty.
Half a bottle is plenty for you, right?
It's harder to sleep when I'm tipsy.
I'd rather drink a lot and pass out.
All right. We'll do that then.
Pour me a glass.
Have some udon first.
Hey.
A young lady shouldn't be drinking on an empty stomach. Udon first.
Quit fooling around. I'm in a bad mood...
He must have upset you again.
He's not very charming, is he?
What's wrong with your brother?
Why do you put up with him?
You're the great Ju Da-hae.
Yeah.
The great Ju Da-hae is having udon
because Jun-su's brother, Jun-seong, told me to.
It's because you like me.
No? Okay, then.
Your brother takes people for granted.
Give me some soju.
I ate.
I'll give you soju if you eat just a bit more.
Long night?
Why aren't you in bed?
Did you drink?
Yeah. Is it that obvious?
A bit.
Mom's not home?
She's at a gathering.
Go on up. I'll bring you honey tea.
Okay.
Come in.
Here.
Are you under a lot of stress? You hardly ever drink.
Jolie.
Yes, Dal-lae?
Um...
Something's up, right?
Oh, my god.
Jun-su...
Yu Jun-su is working at the same department store?
- Does your mom know? - No.
And that dirtbag
doesn't know you're Jang Guk and he keeps hitting on you?
Yes.
Has he lost his mind? What is he thinking?
What does it matter? I'm Jang Dal-lae.
You have to see his face everyday?
He's just a colleague.
It's fine for him because he doesn't know who you are,
but you have to act oblivious. That's easier said than done.
I'm not acting, Jolie.
Yeah.
I even had your name changed to Jang Dal-lae,
but knowing you, I'm not 100% sure about this.
What do you mean?
You hate him.
That means you still have feelings for him.
No, I don't.
I just don't want him complicating my life again.
But he works with you.
But it's just work.
Maybe for you. As for him, he's interested in you.
I'm not Jang Guk anymore,
and he's not the old Yu Jun-su either.
You have no idea.
What's he like now?
He feels no remorse about what he did.
He's a wily womanizer who does nothing but drink and party.
Are you disappointed because he's changed so much?
I'm over him.
The problem is,
that jerk has his eyes set on you.
Let him do what he wants.
On second thought, I'll just let him fall for me.
And then I'll dump him.
As revenge for what happened 12 years ago?
That sounds like fun.
Fun?
Revenge is a dangerous game.
I can totally do it, Jolie.
What?
I can do it.
Are you out of your mind? Did you get shot?
Did you get shot by a machine gun?
Did you get shot?
Hello?
Slept well?
You're driving me nuts.
Don't go nuts
and look out the window.
It's a beautiful day out.
Hey.
Save this kind of talk for your lover.
You are my lover.
I'm wide awake now thanks to that twerp Yu Jun-seong.
The soup's especially good today, Mom.
No soup for you.
Are you sure you don't want me to have any?
Really?
I don't even want to look at you.
Hi, Da-hae.
Did Mu-cheol get you home safely?
I'm sorry. Something came up.
It's your day off? I have to go to work though.
Okay. I'll call you later.
Why does she always call when we're eating?
I'm done. I'll get going.
Don't come back.
No.
- Have a nice day, Dad. - You too.
I should go too.
But it's Sunday.
I'm meeting with my students.
How's Yeong-hui doing?
Is Da-hae's mother doing well?
What's gotten into you?
Would it kill you to just
answer my question?
She came by when Jun-seong had the day off.
You stuffed your face with the octopus she...
Oops.
You enjoyed the octopus she brought.
She's doing well?
I think she's had enough.
Is she ill?
No. She wants to get divorced.
What?
She's getting a divorce.
No way!
Good heavens. Why are you yelling?
But she's been fine for so long...
Too long.
Actually, she should've gotten divorced a long time ago.
That's why I'm telling you. You're her friend.
Fortune favors those who persevere. That's why...
What?
Is he still alive?
Why do you ask me that?
If he's still alive and well,
why wouldn't he ever try to come see his own child?
There's no reason for her to wait more.
What I meant was...
Whatever.
What's the point in meddling in someone else's affairs anyway?
She's not just any person. She's your friend.
A friend is not family, you know.
Why do you always talk back to me?
Please explain.
Let's just eat.
Eat, then.
Going to work?
It's Sunday.
Oh, right.
-But I have to drop by the hospital. -Why?
My post-op patient has a fever.
Oh, okay.
Could you get me some water?
Sure.
Why do you drink?
What?
You had your heart set on getting divorced.
What's troubling you?
That's not why I'm drinking.
I just wanted to drink a little while I did some thinking.
Don't worry, Da-hae.
I've moved on.
How refreshing.
- Jeong-han. - Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
Why are you so late?
Let's go see the place.
You brought the key deposit? It's first come, first serve.
Of course. Don't worry.
- Is it there? - It's up over that hill.
♪ What's your name? What's your number? ♪
Did she forget to turn the music off?
What?
Go to school. You have study hall.
I'm not going to study hall.
I told you to go to all study hall sessions, didn't I?
- Are you defying me? - What do you want?
Do you want me to keep the music down?
Okay. Fine.
Go to school.
What am I supposed to do there?
I don't know a thing. Why waste my time?
I'm not going.
I can't get into college anyway.
- Even a community college... - After I get famous.
I'll go then if I feel the need for it.
Becoming a star isn't--
I know it's not easy!
Why can't you help me?
From what I've heard and what I've seen,
you're just average.
Becoming a singer isn't for everyone.
The world is full of girls who are much more talented.
As for auditions...
Have you passed a single audition?
Hey, Mu-hui.
Mu-hui.
Oh, man.
I shouldn't have said that.
Mu-hui.
Hold up. Our starlet will stop to say hi.
How was that? Don't I sound like her?
I'll do it again, so listen carefully.
Hold up. Our starlet needs money.
Didn't I sound just like her?
I practiced really hard.
Guess why I'm doing this.
Maybe you...
Okay. You go ahead.
You want our money?
Exactly.
Let's do this the easy way.
We have no money.
Nice try.
If I find a single penny on you, you two are dead.
- We really don't have any. - Hey.
What's going on?
- Mister. - Shut up.
What do you think you're doing?
Mister.
Is there a problem?
Hey, just be on your way, okay?
She was about to take our money.
Come on.
Hey. Excuse me. Wait!
Just go then. I'll see you next time.
Wait.
What's the matter? Are you okay?
Anybody there? Anybody there?
Are you okay? What's the matter? Huh?
- What is it? - Help!
What's wrong?
He's weird. You need to lock him up.
Come with us.
-No, no. -You need to come with us.
It's not what you think. She was...
- She was the one who... - We'll talk at the station.
You need to listen to me.
Dear Mr. Woo...
-How's it going, Mr. Park? -Good, sir.
-Please double-check the quantity. -Will do.
Thank you.
Wait.
We need them all moved by four o'clock.
- Yes. - Thank you.
SISTER DUMPLINGS
Mr. Yu.
What brings you here, Mr. Heo?
I came to make a delivery. What are you up to?
We have an event hall sale, so things are rather hectic.
Why are you doing all this grunt work yourself?
What about you? Why are you making the deliveries yourself?
I do them myself on weekends and holidays.
Employees need time off to relax.
You always have such a positive attitude.
As do you, Mr. Yu.
Take it easy then.
Dear Mr. Woo,
HK Department Store cordially invites
the Mr. Woo brand to join the 2014 HK Department Store Live Tour
to showcase the masculine beauty Mr. Woo suits embody.
We hope you will join the tour
so that HK and Mr. Woo can be displayed worldwide.
Korean men can't wait to wear Mr. Woo's designs.
HK will do our utmost to accommodate your every need.
We hope HK and Mr. Woo can become perfect partners for success.
Respectfully yours, Azalea.
Thank you, Dr. Ju.
The weather's gorgeous.
It's the perfect time for me to catch up on some sleep.
Which nutcase would decide to call me in at a time like this?
- This nutcase here. - Are you proud of yourself?
But the patient will have peace of mind.
I see right through you.
If that's the case, you must also know what I want.
There you go again.
Then don't say that you see through me.
- I got something to tell you. - I'm tired.
Are you sick?
I'm just tired.
It's not urgent, is it?
No. I just called you so that I could see you.
Now you've seen me. I'm taking off then.
- Sorry for waking you up this morning. - Don't do it again then.
- I'll call you. - Will you stop if I ask nicely?
Take care, Dr. Ju.
That's not for you to worry about.
Who else would worry about you?
Do it right. It's crooked.
Hey, put that here.
Where should we put these?
-Over there. -Okay.
This has to be done by seven o'clock.
- Okay. - Thank you.
What are you doing?
I just wanted to see what this was.
None of your business.
- About last night-- - I don't want to hear about it!
Do you hate me that much?
Yes.
What did I do? Why do you hate me so much?
Because you're Yu Jun-su.
I don't believe this.
Do you know me?
Wait. Did some guy...
What I mean is...
Did some jerk break your heart back in the day?
Yes.
I see.
Do I look like him or something?
So you hate all men because of that guy?
I don't trust men.
You're overreacting. You don't know me.
And I'm not that guy, so why the animosity?
Mr. Yu.
Yes? If you have something to say, just say it.
If you keep this up,
one of us will have to leave HK
or I can't do my job properly.
Oh, wow.
I'm astounded. Is it really that bad?
Okay. Fine.
But I can't promise you I'll stay out of your business.
But I'll make sure to respect our work boundaries.
You can do your job, and I will...
What's the point?
Do I have to keep this job?
My goodness.
Who was the jerk that broke her heart?
What kind of trauma would make her act this way?
Poor thing.
I feel really bad for her.
So you're saying
he suddenly grabbed you by your wrist, right?
Yes.
And you grabbed her to keep her from running away?
No. That's not it.
She was bullying two younger girls and so--
Did you see that?
Why do you make it sound like you did?
You saw him grab my wrist!
You saw. That's harassment.
Hey, you can't just lie like that.
We got it.
Oh? You are really a professor at Narin University.
I'm not tenured yet.
That doesn't matter.
Listen, kid. You shouldn't lie.
Are professors above the law?
I'm telling the truth.
I was trying to stop her from doing bad things.
I'm the victim.
No, she isn't.
Why don't we continue this with her parents?
Don't you have a mobile phone?
Why do my parents have to come?
You're underage.
I'm not.
Aren't you in high school?
I am, but I'm 20 years old.
Twenty? Give me your ID number then.
You don't need my parents if I'm of age, right?
So give me your ID number.
Fine. Let's just forget about it.
Hey, listen.
I think it wasn't really harassment.
I'd like to see her parents.
I'm fine, officer.
But I'm not fine now.
You said you were a professor.
I changed my mind because you're a professor.
It wasn't harassment.
Sit down.
I was confused.
We need to check, so call your parents.
I don't have parents.
My mother died when I was five, and my father died when I was eight.
I had to repeat a year because I got depressed from the trauma.
That's why I'm still in high school.
But I swear I'm 20.
I'm not a minor.
Do what you want, okay?
- Hey. - Wait.
Hey.
You saw what I'm capable of.
Hey.
Yes, professor?
You need to smarten up.
It's my life, okay? You smarten up.
I'm hungry.
People like him are so dull.
Life is full of ups and downs.
The world is round.
You can't live like a square.
It's so stifling.
Good grief.
Had it not been for you, I couldn't find
a place with so little money.
You should thank your new landlord, not me.
Oh, right. Thank you very much, sir.
It's because I trust Vice Principal Yu.
Make sure you pay the rent on time.
I will, Sir.
Here you go.
Thank you.
- Take care, sir. - Goodbye, sir.
You now have a place, so what about work?
I'm sure I'll be able to find something.
Finally.
Let's affix our seals.
That's not necessary. I'll take that...
Thank you.
You're letting me go just like this?
What do you want?
You know what I want.
A proper goodbye...
- Hang on. - What for?
Okay. Fine.
- Okay what? - Okay.
It's midday in the States. It feels funny to be going to sleep.
Still have jet lag?
I thought you've started sleeping through the night.
Some nights, I still wake up.
No fun if everyday is the same, right?
The kids are all late today.
Dal-lae called earlier. And you know Hun.
-Good night. -You too.
Just leave the dishes. You must be tired.
I'm okay.
Do you feel sorry about driving her
like a maid now?
Mind what you say. Drive her like a maid?
It's the truth.
There's no reason for her
to have to do our housework as well?
She also might have her eyes set on a prize.
You're not wise after all.
You're a poor judge of character so...
Why are you stopping mid-sentence?
So what?
Which is why my daughters-in-law are the way they are?
- That's not what I was going to say. - What then?
Good grief. Just help me with the comforter.
No.
You had to stop mid-sentence and upset me.
Never mind then.
I was talking about your husband.
It's been over two weeks since you got here.
He hasn't even called to see if you got in safely.
How would you know if he's called or not?
No one's called for you here.
I have my mobile.
Who uses landlines these days?
- Really? - Yes.
Plus, he's too old
to wonder how his wife is.
I bet he feels liberated and is doing very well.
Wait a minute. Are you saying I married him
because I'm a poor judge of character?
He put you through so much hardship. How can I think highly of him?
But he was so nice to Dal-lae when she came to live with us.
You shouldn't forget that.
He took so much of our parents' assets. That was the least he could do.
What's up with you today?
Let's just go to sleep since you're in such a bad mood.
Come on. Let's go to bed.
Who is it now?
You're going to bed already?
Your mom's in a bad mood.
Why?
You know why.
She's angry because it was knockout victory for you.
The way you put things...
Are you still mad, Mom?
I can't be bothered.
Get out.
Aren't you going to sleep?
Do I have to sleep when you do?
I'm going to bed after Dal-lae gets back.
- Why are you sitting up? - I'm wide awake now.
Then should we have wine?
Wine helps you sleep.
That sounds good.
I got a nice bottle from the meeting I went to yesterday.
You did?
Then let's have a glass each in the backyard and enjoy the breeze.
What do you think?
Why not?
Great. The three of us will have a powwow then.
I'll get the wine, so come down when you're ready.
Okay. I'll get the glasses and some fruit and cheese.
Don't forget the corkscrew.
Don't worry.
-Mom! -You rascal! Come out!
- Get out this instant. - Hang on, Mom.
Come on out. Get out here!
Hang on, Mom. It's not what you think.
What do you think you're doing?
Let go of me!
How dare you?
Mom, Mom. It's not what it looks like.
Let's talk this through.
What? Talk?
Wait, Mom. It's a big misunderstanding.
Come here!
-You have it all wrong. -Come here!
-You have it all wrong, Mom. -What?
It's not what you think.
What's the matter?
Stop it, Mom.
Help me, Grandma. Please, Grandma.
I'm going to put an end to both our lives.
I don't want to die, Grandma. I don't want to die.
What's going on?
This will be the last night for you and me both.
Oh, my god.
How dare you?
Oh my...
GAON DALLAE
Mom, Mom!
-How can you do this? -Please save me!
Mom. Please, Mom.
Grandma.
Mom. Hun.
Oh, it hurts.
12 YEARS PROMISE
We can use the personal shopper service, right?
Can we designate a specific person?
We've met, haven't we?
Do what with whom?
Ham-cho.
She wants you to marry that pint-sized girl.
Who exactly are you?
Say something. Tell me what you're after.
What is she like?
She's like a porcupine.
She curls up into a ball and raises her quills.
Let's go then.
But she's not like any other woman.
Make her feel comfortable. Eat and have coffee with her.
You know, things like that.
Where are you going?
To help someone move.
Who?
Hong, shouldn't you say hello?
This is my son.
It's like she's hiding things from me on purpose.
Ms. Jang.
When did you move to the States?
Is Dal-lae your real name?
