(Singer Audition for Vietnam Show)
Here's the next participant.
How was I? Wasn't I good?
You missed the beat halfway,
but you were okay.
Could you tell I missed the beat?
A bit.
Darn it. It was because that guy got on my nerves.
- Who? - The guy I told you about.
The scumbag I met on my way to Lucky Entertainment.
- The delivery guy? - Yes.
Who is he anyway?
What's he doing sitting with the judges?
Is he not a delivery guy?
Either way, lucky you.
- I think you'll pass. - Right? Right?
What would I win?
Do you think I'll come first?
Oh dear.
(Judges)
(Singer Audition for Vietnam Show)
We announced those in 2nd and 3rd place.
That means we're left with one lucky winner.
Before I announce the winner,
I must say that this audition was...
organized by Lucky Entertainment to pick singers to go to Vietnam...
Just make the announcement.
Okay, okay, calm down.
I'll make the announcement.
The person who comes first...
will get to go to Vietnam with the other two winners...
and will be able to release an album and perform in Korea.
The singer who came first is...
participant number...
20, Young Yi Rang.
Well done.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks. Well done.
Bok Shil. You didn't make it.
No.
It can't be.
Bok Shil.
Let's go.
Bok Shil. Where are you going?
It was a great event. Well done.
Let's talk.
Was it you? Did you drop me?
- Come this way. - Hey!
Stop it.
Who is he?
What was he doing with the judges?
Bok Shil.
He was a judge because he should be.
Stop causing a fuss and go home.
Bok Shil, stop it.
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho, what are you doing here?
Hey, what now?
What? We didn't do anything wrong.
Choon Ja, do you mind going home first?
I want to talk to Bok Shil.
Okay.
Bok Shil.
Are you glad?
You disapproved of me entering.
You must feel great that I didn't make it.
Did you want it that much?
- Enough to lie to me about it? - Yes.
I would've done worse than lie to get this opportunity.
I wanted to go to Vietnam and become a singer.
Why do you think I lied?
Because you disapproved.
I want to do this and you just said no.
Why are you here? What did you do here?
I worked here.
My company's involved in this event.
Were you a judge too?
- No. - How was my singing?
Was I that terrible?
I think I did better than the people who won.
I don't understand why I didn't win.
Bok Shil.
Let go. I don't want to talk to you.
Bok Shil.
Dad.
You told me to be a singer.
To bring happiness to the world with my nightingale voice.
But I didn't pass.
I need to become a singer...
so you'll recognize me and come home.
What should I do, Dad?
Well done, sir.
Thanks. You too.
I felt bad for Oh Se Ra.
She was pretty good.
Give me the results.
Here.
She came fourth?
That was a close loss.
- Get to work. - Okay.
(Cha Sang Pil, CEO)
I'm back.
Oh, well done.
I'll report on the event to Mr. Hwang.
Oh, that.
Let me do it.
Why should you when Mr. Han did all the work?
Okay, then. Go and don't take too long.
You...
Sir, my report on the singing audition.
Thanks.
Did it go without a hitch?
Yes, sir.
Whenever they have such large events, go and support them.
Yes, sir.
Also,
Oh Jeong Hoon, the tutor you recommended.
I found him quite trustworthy.
He's calm and seems responsible.
He is. He'll do a great job.
I hope so. Get back to work.
Yes, sir.
Where are you going?
Your tutor will be here soon.
I don't want to see him. Throw him out when he comes.
You have to be the one to do that.
See you later.
Mi Jin. Mi Jin!
What a brat.
Hello.
Didn't you see Mi Jin?
She just left to avoid seeing you.
Forget about it today.
I'll wait upstairs.
I just said she's not in.
What'll he do on his own without a student?
It looks like he's going to stay for the full period.
Wait. Let's talk.
Sure.
My daughter will never let you teach her.
You tell my husband that...
you just can't teach her.
That way she'll get scolded less.
I apologize. Give me more time.
See you tomorrow.
My goodness.
He's so stubborn.
I hate him even more now.
(Sewing Factory)
Soon Young.
I felt really bad after you left the way you did.
I ran off on my own.
What for? What were you afraid of?
I'm not good enough for you.
Not again. I told you not to say that.
- It's the truth. - Soon Young.
To tell the truth, while I dated you,
whenever I thought of your family,
I felt scared and guilty, as if I was wronging them.
Why would you be wronging them?
Your mother, grandmother and siblings...
will have high hopes for you.
When they see me,
they'll be so disappointed.
They won't.
Are you concerned because Bok Shil was shocked?
That was because of me, not you.
She never imagined that I'd bring a girlfriend home.
I knew I wasn't good enough for you.
Thinking of meeting your family scared me.
Like I forgot my place.
I don't think I'll ever be able to face them.
Soon Young.
You're the woman I like.
My family will accept and welcome...
anyone I love and cherish.
So don't get such silly ideas.
Why are your shoulders drooped?
Did he not pass the bar again?
The results aren't out yet. Don't be so negative already.
Then did you fight?
With him?
- I'm just a bit tired. - Okay, then.
Go inside and get some rest.
Why are you leaving so early?
Did I tell you about the cabaret seamstress?
I'm going to crush her today.
How special could her son be?
She complained because I tried to set him up with a factory worker.
She never even met you.
Auntie.
- That's me. - What?
You think highly of me because I'm your niece,
but to everyone else, I'm just...
a nobody who works at a factory.
Are you trying to upset me too?
Goodbye.
I'll kill that woman.
(Jo Dong Cheol, CEO)
Why are the sales such a mess?
Boss.
Madam Gu, what'll you do about the sales?
Make your pay worthwhile.
Fine, I get what you mean.
I know what you're saying.
Do you? What do you know?
What do you understand?
What?
Boss.
I figured out the reason our sales are dropping.
Did you? What is it?
Look, boss.
Understand?
What are you doing?
The singers' dresses need to be like this and like this.
The customers don't like our old-fashioned dresses.
Okay. Understand.
Fix every single one of them.
All of these today?
Give them a deep cut here,
and put a slit that goes up to here.
Oh, right.
The straps should be...
Do away with them completely.
Boss, don't you think that's too much work...
- for just one night? - It is.
Then help your wife.
I pay the both of you when you do nothing.
Get to it.
Why all of a sudden...
Madam Gu, it was your idea, wasn't it?
Maybe.
Madam Gu, I see you don't yet know what I'm capable of.
I will show you what I can do.
- Come here, you witch! - Mal Soon.
- Come here. - Leave me alone!
Why are you two fighting again?
Johnny Kim.
Did you just push my wife?
- No, I... - Come here.
What did you do that for?
Not there.
Come here, you witch!
Come here. Come here!
- Let me go. - My goodness.
Stop!
Are you at it again? Stop it right now!
I won't hold back this time!
- My goodness. - Don't touch my hair!
Mi Jin studied hard today?
Of course.
I kept her at home so she couldn't go anywhere.
You did your duties as a mother for once.
What's she doing now?
She went out to meet friends after the tutor left.
I need to work. Bring me some tea.
Okay.
Mom, did you chase him away?
He won't come back, will he?
Be quiet.
- Hwang Mi Jin. - Dad.
Was it a lie that you studied hard?
No, what I meant was...
Mi Jin, we need to talk.
What now?
Dad.
Sit down.
Do you like...
buying things like that?
Of course, why wouldn't I?
I'm happy when I shop.
Then buy everything you want.
Do what makes you happy.
Then why must I study? That doesn't make me happy.
Mi Jin.
Do you know what a tough life I had?
I won't go into full detail.
I barely ate one meal a day...
and I was dirt poor. That wouldn't interest you.
Then what do you want to say?
I had only one goal in my mind.
Whatever I had to do,
I'd do it so you and your mom won't have to suffer like me.
I said I'd become rich and powerful...
What does that have to do with me studying?
So what if I have what I have now?
You can't inherit and expand the business.
Dad, do you want me to study...
and take over your business?
I can't do that.
I know, a woman can't run a company.
- Then what? - You're my only child.
You're all I have.
You can't study hard and...
inherit my company,
but you need to go to university and learn how the world works.
I want you to think of a way to help my business.
That way, you can find a decent spouse...
and he can work for me instead of you.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Shall I say it again?
I get it.
Good.
Then promise you'll start studying.
Tell me whenever you need money.
What was that about?
She's so foolish.
- Sir. - Hi.
Is something wrong?
No. You're home late.
I had to wrap up after the audition.
Did everything go well?
Yes, thanks to you.
Mr. Han did a great job today.
Good, you had a long day. Get some rest.
Sure. Goodnight, then.
I wish he were my son.
Darn it.
Choon Ja, why do you live?
Who's that?
What are you doing here?
I was waiting for you.
You're in a right mess.
Jeong Tae.
Comfort me.
Go home. You can't be drinking in the street.
I need comforting.
I feel really sad today.
What?
I auditioned to be a singer...
to go to Vietnam.
I didn't pass. Bok Shil didn't either.
What?
Bok Shil auditioned to be a singer?
Yes.
I'm going to stay with you tonight.
Get a grip.
How much did you have to drink?
Hey, Oh Jeong Tae!
"Hey"?
You.
Do you know that I like you or not?
You can't talk like that to me.
You are mine.
I like you so very much.
My goodness.
Get up.
Darn it.
- Jeong Tae. - Get up.
Relax, I'll carry you.
Who's that?
- Jeong Tae, Jeong Tae. - Is that my daughter?
- Oh dear, oh dear. - Jeong Tae.
- What's wrong with her? - Jeong Tae.
Did you drink?
Jeong Tae.
Why did you get her drunk?
It wasn't me.
Why else would she be so drunk?
She was...
Ask her yourself when she wakes up.
I have to go.
Wait, you...
- Sorry, Dad. - What?
I wanted to be...
a daughter you'd be proud of.
I wanted to show you I could do something too.
What's wrong with you?
Come on, let's get you in your room.
My poor back.
Jeong Tae, you're home.
Why were you in the toilet?
Use the urine vat.
I am using it.
If you're going to cooperate, cooperate properly.
Come here and sit down.
- Drink. - I already did.
Drink some more.
Go on, drink it all up.
Bok Shil.
Get up.
What for?
Did you go to some audition?
To sing for troops in Vietnam?
So what about that?
You should've won something if you entered.
Why did you flop?
- You fool. - What did you say?
Did you enter a singing contest?
To go to Vietnam?
Get up right now. Get up.
I said get up.
Yes, I did enter a competition.
How dare you shout at me?
What did I do that's so wrong?
Is it bad to enter a contest to become a singer?
Why do you keep going to such things?
I told you so many times to stay away from those events.
- Mom. - Go outside.
Why did you go there?
Hit me. Hit me all you want!
- Shut your mouth. - I'll try again.
I'll go to places farther than Vietnam if I can be a singer.
Jeong Hoon.
Will you please listen?
I tried to talk you out of it. Why won't you just give up?
Why do you keep saying that?
I have things I want to do.
Why does that have to be singing?
Do something else.
What else can I do?
I didn't study or do anything else.
Bok Shil, why would you say something like that?
None of us went to school because Jeong Hoon had to.
I told you to stop.
I hate working at factories.
But I love to sing.
I want to what I like doing and what I'm good at.
You can't do that, Bok Shil.
Please, try to live a normal life.
Don't get into stuff that could just cause trouble.
Why is that what you think?
Bok Shil, listen to Mom.
Mom.
If I succeed as a singer,
Dad might hear me sing and come home.
I'll make a lot of money and fix Jeong Woo's leg too.
He's crippled because of me.
I want him to get another operation.
Did I ask you to worry about things like that?
Mom.
Don't scold her too much. Try to soothe and comfort her.
Would she listen?
You need to calm her down.
What if she gets into trouble...
trying to become a singer?
Women in that industry don't have it easy.
I thought...
she was just being immature,
but she is responsible in a way.
She wants to find her dad.
And fix Jeong Woo's leg.
So I should leave her?
I can't do that.
Mother, don't just say we should let her have her way.
Mom, I'm afraid she'll act out.
Don't get involved.
She's not wrong. I'm the only one who got to study.
I said that wasn't just for your own good.
You're the man of the house.
Do you think I didn't want to send the others to school?
We just couldn't afford to.
They need to understand that.
Your mom's right.
You don't need to worry about that.
Your results will be out soon.
Yes.
It's not too late for you to succeed...
and then...
make it up towards the others.
Do you understand?
Yes.
(Lucky Entertainment)
File the schedule and results of yesterday's event.
We'll host such events often.
Yes, sir.
Tell the winners to come by the day after tomorrow.
What are you? Why are you here?
He's here on business.
Did you drop me?
Are you still not over it?
Why? Was my singing that terrible?
I missed a beat,
but I don't think it was enough to fail.
If you failed, there must be a good enough reason.
What was that reason?
I don't know what you do for a living,
but are you sure you didn't look down on me...
because of one mistake and failed me deliberately?
If you are serious about this, then don't give up. Keep trying.
Failing is a good experience.
If you're willing, can't you build on this?
Failing is an experience?
Don't talk so flippantly because it's not about you.
This opportunity meant so much to me.
You might not think much of singer wannabes like me,
but this was an opportunity and dream I really wanted.
Okay?
I don't want to sing because I'm a daydreamer.
I want to sing to make people happy with my voice.
That's why I won't give up.
I'll become a singer...
and make you regret failing me,
so don't ever forget me.
Oh Se Ra, that's my name. Remember it.
How am I to keep her at home today?
She won't listen to me anymore.
No. You need to go back upstairs.
Mom, I'll study with the tutor from today.
Send him upstairs.
What got into her today?
Mi Jin.
That must be him.
Hello.
Welcome, welcome.
My daughter said she'll study starting today.
I see.
Don't just stand there. Go on upstairs.
Okay.
I can't believe this. I'm so happy.
Sit down.
In the chair.
Let's start with Korean Literature.
Mi Jin.
Say what you want. I'm listening.
Did you think I changed my mind about studying?
You're wrong.
I have no intention of studying with you.
Let's see if you win or I do.
Why do you think I lied?
Because you disapproved.
I want to do this and you just said no.
Mr. Han, take a look at this.
Mr. Han, what are you thinking about?
I apologize.
Sorry, but I need to leave early today.
But... You...
He thinks...
he can do what he wants just because...
the CEO favors him.
Bok Shil.
Let's talk.
Were you waiting for me?
- Yes. - Why?
I thought you're angry with me.
I am.
I never thought that even you'd disapprove of what I wanted to do.
Don't you know why I disapproved?
I don't. I don't understand.
Bok Shil.
I want to say something.
About what?
What I'm about to say might seem too sudden.
I thought I should tell you one day.
Actually...
(Through the Waves)
- I need you to find Oh Se Ra. - Oh Se Ra?
Were you disappointed?
To be honest, yes.
Isn't this too childish?
What? Childish?
I know I'm not good enough, Bok Shil.
I'm not here to say that.
Do you know an Oh Se Ra?
No one with that name lives in this neighborhood.
You mean a lot to me.
- I don't want to listen. - Bok Shil!
Kyung Ho made a lot in Vietnam...
No. He saw a lot of money while he was there.
I have a seven.
Sorry, I have a nine.
I'm really desperate.
I want just one person to know that and support me.
I'd like to make you famous.
Really?
