That really hurt.
What's wrong? Are you hurt?
I sprained my ankle.
It hurts.
Let me see.
It hurts.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
It's not that bad.
Shall we date?
I like you.
(Episode 19)
Let's start dating today.
You agree to that, don't you?
I have a fiancee.
That's my answer.
Put a hot towel on your ankle.
Is it true?
Do you really have a fiancee?
Why would I make that up?
Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon, wait.
- I don't care. - What?
I don't care whether or not you have a fiancee.
Let's date.
What's all the noise about?
Don't leave during the conversation. Jeong Hoon.
I'll go, then.
Sure. Thank you and take care.
What is it? What more did you have to say?
What was that about?
You don't need to know.
What's going on?
Did they fight?
I want you to...
give up on Jeong Hoon.
For Jeong Hoon's sake.
Do as I say.
Ma'am.
I know I'm not good enough.
But...
I like Jeong Hoon a lot.
Could you show some mercy and accept me?
How dare you talk back?
Get the message the first time.
Must you make a weak old woman repeat herself?
You end it.
Jeong Hoon isn't cruel enough to break up with you.
I want you to...
think of Jeong Hoon's future...
and break up with him for his sake, okay?
Now go.
Soon Young.
Why come from that way? Weren't you at work?
I was on an errand.
Were you?
You look upset.
Did you cry?
- It's because I'm cold. - I see.
Go and pack up. I'll wait.
Don't, just go.
You get off soon.
I have to work overtime. There's a lot to do.
I told you not to do that anymore.
Go home. I'm busy.
Soon Young.
What is it? Is something wrong?
Soon Young.
Give me one more.
We don't make that much anyway.
You're only buying 5 dumplings and you want 1 for free?
The lady who worked here used to give me one more.
Are you her daughter?
You don't need to know.
I can't give you 1 more, so buy those 5 or not.
Bok Shil.
Is that how you run a business?
Fine. Forget it, then.
I won't buy from you.
Hey, you can't throw food down.
- Hey! - Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
Let go.
She looked down on me because of what we do.
- That's enough. - Yes, Bok Shil.
This is so annoying.
Where's your mom?
She went to buy adzuki beans and flour.
Jeong Woo, can I borrow your sister for a bit?
- Do you mind? - No.
Bok Shil.
- Do you want one more? - No thanks.
What's going on? Are you off work already?
I left early to do something.
And to see you.
Did you have to come over just then?
Do you like watching the stall?
Of course not. I'd rather die.
Will you think about the clerk job...
I told you about?
You still didn't tell them I'm not interested?
No. I asked them to wait.
Do you still want to be a singer?
Bok Shil.
Do you know why I can't support your dream?
Why is that?
As you know, my dad works in the music industry.
I saw what it's like since I was young.
I'm not degrading the industry as a whole,
but there are more troubles and problems than you think.
I want you to live an ordinary life...
instead of getting into that.
That's why I can't support you.
I didn't know that's what you thought.
I was just upset and held a grudge...
because you didn't root for me.
But to tell you the truth,
I haven't totally given up on singing.
Mom hates the idea and you're against it,
and then...
I was even conned.
That's why I'm seriously thinking about my future.
But it's so hard to give up.
Sorry, Kyung Ho.
It's upsetting to hear you haven't given up.
Both your mom and I...
I'd like you to think seriously...
about why we can't support you wholeheartedly.
Sir, I have bad news.
Yoo Chae Kyung wants to...
transfer to Rainbow Records.
What?
Why now when we're working on a new song?
Rainbow agreed to give her a new song right away.
They'll even pay the penalty for breach of contract.
That's not the issue.
It's so much work to train one singer.
Get Yoo Chae Kyung to come in right away.
I called many times and she won't pick up.
Then go over there and get her. Don't just call!
Mr. Han.
It's a summary on the joint project.
Thank you. You're of great help.
I'm just doing my job.
You seem to have an issue.
Well...
Training a new singer is hard work.
I do all the work...
and they betray me for better conditions.
I'm ashamed to say that's what the industry's like.
I see.
That's why I need someone I can trust.
I shouldn't have said all that.
You must be busy. I won't keep you for long.
Okay.
Let's get going, then.
I'm ready.
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
Well done today as well.
Kyung Ho.
I met a matchmaker earlier today.
Mom, I said I won't go on a blind date.
Why wouldn't you when you have to get married?
I'm not interested yet.
Why do you push him when he isn't willing to?
He'll do what he must in his own time.
What are you talking about?
Anyway, if we're to marry you off,
we should move.
I doubt we can find a decent daughter-in-law...
while we live in someone else's house.
Do we have enough money to move?
How much did Kyung Ho make in Vietnam?
You don't need to know.
Kyung Ho, we're off to work.
Take care.
Where did you put the money?
Why do you want to know that?
Let's go before we're late.
I'm afraid a robber might take it.
Tell me, where did you put it?
How did things go?
Why are we in here?
What if the boss comes in?
We can't talk anywhere else.
Let's talk real quick.
I talked to our old colleagues...
and they're all in.
Are they?
What about the singer?
We need a singer if we're to put on a show.
The drummer said he's good friends with Jeong Mi...
and can bring her along.
- Jeong Mi? - Yes.
Gosh, everything's going so smoothly.
Why do I feel so nervous?
Money, that's our only problem.
Get your hands on the money Kyung Ho made in Vietnam...
Get in here.
Why are you in here?
Why were you in my empty office? What were you doing?
Boss. The both of us...
were waiting here for you to tell you that...
we'll really work hard.
You needn't put it in words.
Put it into action.
Yes, sir. We'll put it into action.
I really hate this.
I'm sick of those old men.
You, come closer.
I did nothing wrong, boss.
You.
Get Oh Jeong Tae to deliver goods to the PX.
- Deliver goods to the PX? - Yes.
He'll be willing to do that.
I wouldn't know about that.
Don't complain.
If he refuses to do that too,
then it's all your fault, okay?
Understand?
Yes, yes. Yes, boss.
Stop plastering your face, Madam Gu.
What?
It's called makeup, not plastering.
I'm saying it out of concern for you, so listen up.
You keep talking about marrying off your niece.
Do you think your future in-laws would like...
how you go about with such heavy makeup?
Don't you worry.
Do you think I'd dress like...
a bar hostess when I meet them?
If I just change into something more innocent,
I look just as classy as a woman from a noble household.
You have no idea.
Wait. Are you not going to tell your in-laws...
what you do for a living?
What if they find out?
I'm not lying. I just don't have to tell them.
You shouldn't do that.
You should show them exactly what you are.
You can go on sewing clothes.
"I mend the performers' clothes at a cabaret..."
"and my husband plays the saxophone."
At least I don't smile for men or pour them drinks!
Watch your tongue, okay?
What?
Darn you.
Soon Young, Auntie's home.
I feel so dizzy.
Did I drink too much?
Hey, are you asleep?
How could you?
You fell asleep before I came home?
Hey, go and make me some sugar water.
I feel terrible.
Hey, wake up.
Will you wake up?
What's wrong?
Are you crying?
I'm not.
Yes, you are.
Is the old woman still against you? Is that it?
- I'll get some sugar water. - Wait.
Forget about that for now.
Talk to me.
Stop crying and tell me.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying like a fool?
Are you not going to tell me?
Auntie.
Will you just leave me alone?
This is so upsetting.
You're upsetting me too now.
You look upset.
Did you cry?
Go home. I'm busy.
Jeong Hoon, did you have dinner?
I'm not hungry.
I want to rest.
Okay, then.
Jeong Hoon's back, Mother.
He looks so downcast I can't bear to look at him.
Come and sit down.
Earlier today,
I called the girl over.
You...
called her over?
- Why? - I told her to...
break up with Jeong Hoon.
What?
Mother, why did you do that?
Then what?
Jeong Hoon said he can't break up with her.
Mother, what if...
Jeong Hoon retaliates?
I just saw him...
and he looks so upset I can't face him.
Then what? Will you give him permission?
This isn't something we can let them control.
I called her over with a heavy heart.
Someone had to end it.
That's all you need to know.
Do you understand?
Shall we date?
Let's start dating today.
You agree to that, don't you?
I have a fiancee.
That's my answer.
Does he really have a fiancee?
So what if he does? I'll break them up.
Mi Jin, your dad's home.
How are things at work?
When will your new singer release her album?
We're ready to record. So probably soon.
Okay. Good luck.
Thank you.
- Dad, you're home. - Yes.
Were you studying?
As if she were.
I've never seen her with a book unless her tutor's here.
I'm not studying to go to university.
Then why do you study? Don't you want a degree?
Forget it.
Mom, did the fortune-teller say...
there's a man close to me?
Why would you ask about that now?
What did she say will happen?
Will we date? Get married?
She said that if you make him yours,
it'll be just as good for you as if you went to university.
If I make him mine?
Then you don't know if I succeed or not?
You have a point.
Should you nab him?
Shall I go back again?
Stop wasting your time.
Mi Jin, focus on your studies.
That way you can get what you want.
Okay, Dad.
I know what you mean.
Oh, no.
What am I going to do with this precious urine?
I wanted to give it to Jeong Tae.
Dad.
- What's this noise? - What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
Did you fall?
Gosh, what is this smell?
It's way too early for this.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
Choon Ja, did you trip up and spill urine?
- Yes. All that urine's gone. - Oh, dear.
- My goodness... - Wait, wait.
What's this?
What's what?
Dad!
You got urine all over you and now you have a rash.
Go inside and get changed.
I'll bring you warm water to wash with.
My goodness, Mr. Kim.
I was going to talk to you about this.
Don't you think she's acting strange?
Why would she want to help Jeong Tae?
Mom.
What are you trying to say in the middle of a disaster?
They grew up as neighbors as close as siblings.
She's just doing what she can to help him.
I really hate you now, Mal Soon.
- Why... - I thought I'd suffocate.
- It's so strange. - That smell...
I should quit this idiocy.
Will you quit?
I don't know yet.
I'll start with the next village today.
Mom, I'll carry that.
Leave it. Where's Bok Shil?
Is she not ready?
You'll take her again today?
Yes, you stay home.
Bok Shil. Bok Shil.
I have to go with you again?
Of course. Come along.
You might as well go willingly.
Or find another job.
Yes, you should.
What a brat.
Oh, dear.
No, it's not official yet.
My boss went to see Yoo Chae Kyung.
I'll give you a call later.
- Who was that? - Mr. Park.
The rumors have spread.
What'll you do with Yoo Chae Kyung's new song?
Did you meet her?
What did she say?
- We have to give up on her. - What?
Why are you giving up so easily?
Even if she stays for now,
she'll jump when another deal comes along.
We don't need people with such little sense of loyalty.
- But still... - But still what?
We can find a good singer.
Do you mean Oh Se Ra?
Shall I go over there again?
No. I'll deal with that.
This is so annoying. There are no customers.
Will you speak nicely?
If you don't want to help, find work at a factory.
I said I don't like factories.
Then stay close to me.
Stop going about and get into trouble.
This blows.
Hello.
What are you doing over here?
I'm going back to my office and I want to buy some bread.
You'll take this to work?
You don't have to buy them from me.
It's around snack time.
Can you pack me some buns?
Shall I give you two of everything?
You might as well buy a lot.
That way we can go home early. Do you mind?
The buns are delicious.
The corn bread's the real deal.
They made this at home with care.
Enjoy yourselves.
No effort goes into making street food.
Everything's the same.
Mr. Han treated us today.
Will you treat us next time?
Get back to work, everyone.
All you do is snack at work.
Get to work.
You owe me one more bill.
This is a joke.
This is my last day.
The money's not worth it.
As you wish. Did you think you'd make a fortune doing this?
Darn it.
- Shoot. - Hey.
What was that about?
Hey.
You exaggerate.
Will you charge me for the hospital bill too?
Hey, can you drive a truck?
I was a driver in the army.
That's great.
Do you want to deliver goods?
Hey.
Don't you have other workers?
Why me?
Stop playing so hard to get.
We deliver goods to the PX.
Can you do that?
The PX?
I just have to make deliveries?
Yes, that's it.
Are you in or not?
Let's go.
It's good to see you go to work together.
We're always a pretty sight.
Aren't we?
You don't have a care in the world...
while Choon Ja's suffering for your sake.
What? Why is she suffering?
She fell while carrying urine...
and now has a rash all over.
What? Is that true?
You don't have a proper job at that age...
My Kyung Ho is the best son there could be.
Darling, let's get going.
Sure, let's go.
Did she have to be so mean?
Choon Ja, that troublemaker.
Will you stop putting that on me?
Stay still.
Doenjang works wonders on this kind of rash.
Still, I don't want it on me.
I came over while I was...
out of the office to look after you.
I told you to put this on every now and then and you didn't.
Look at you.
Mr. Kim.
Jeong Tae?
- Hi, Jeong Tae. - Hi.
- Gosh. - I'm fine.
Sorry she got a rash because of me.
Don't be. You didn't ask her to help.
Dad, you should go. Don't you have work to do?
I do.
Keep putting this on your face, okay?
Jeong Tae, see you around.
- Take care. - Bye.
Were you worried about me?
Stay away from me.
Why are you here?
You're a mess. Doesn't it itch?
It's killing me. I got this trying to help you.
Don't try to help me anymore.
I quit collecting urine.
Why? Because of me?
Why would I quit working because of you?
What'll you do now, then? Go back to fighting?
Stay out of it.
Why care if I fight or not?
Don't you dare or I'll beat you up.
Put this on.
What's this?
I got it with the money I sold urine for. Don't waste it.
Jeong Tae.
How sweet.
Soon Young, get up.
I'm fine.
You're too sick to even go to work.
You need to eat.
I'm a terrible cook but I made this.
Eat a little bit.
You can't eat?
I'll eat it later.
Tell the truth. What's wrong?
What's going on?
Tell me. I need to know.
Don't try to keep it from me anymore.
Stop crying and talk to me!
Auntie.
What should I do?
What? About what?
Jeong Hoon's grandmother called me over.
She called you over?
What did she say?
For Jeong Hoon's sake,
she wants me to break up with him.
She told you to break up? So what did you say?
What did you say to her?
That old hag.
I'm glad we met. Jeong Hoon.
How are you?
What do you think?
I would love to...
slap you in the face right now.
What?
What makes your family so special?
What gives your grandmother...
the right to call Soon Young and tell her to break up with you?
What are you talking about?
- My grandmother... - Yes.
She told Soon Young to leave you for your sake.
That upset Soon Young so much that she's half-dead.
I'm sorry, Auntie.
Stop apologizing.
What'll you do now?
Will you betray her just like that?
I never considered that for one moment.
Then will you get your grandmother's permission?
Can you manage?
Yes. I'll do that.
- Are you sure about that? - Yes.
I'll trust you, then.
If you make Soon Young cry, I'll kill you.
I'd like to see her. Can you call her for me?
Okay. Wait here.
Soon Young.
You look terrible and that's so upsetting.
You should've told me about that.
Why did you take it on your own?
Jeong Hoon...
What should I do?
However hard I think,
I can't live without you.
I can't let you go...
like your grandmother wants me to.
Soon Young. I feel the same.
I can't live without you.
Jeong Hoon...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I won't hurt you again.
I won't make you suffer.
Welcome. My mom's out.
Earned income is what you make in exchange for labor, like salary.
I asked you out.
Did you think about it?
I wasn't joking when I said that.
I'm serious.
I told you clearly that I have a fiancee.
And I told you clearly that I don't care.
I took or got everything I wanted until now.
Now I want you.
I don't want to lose you to anyone else.
- Mi Jin. - I'm listening.
This is our last lesson.
What did you say?
You're willing to study now.
You'll manage with any tutor.
Why? Why will you quit?
Because I asked you out?
That's not it.
Then what is it?
Why are you quitting so suddenly?
I wasn't going to quit so soon,
but I have to go into training.
I think I've done enough.
You don't seem to want to study, so I'll leave.
Jeong Hoon, wait.
Stop right there, you jerk.
Do you think it's over if you say it is?
Why are you quitting? You can't quit like this.
I'm sorry that...
I can't continue with this.
Come back upstairs.
I will study. Come upstairs with me.
Your mom's out, so I'll just leave.
Don't go. Stay on as my tutor.
I'll call and apologize to your father.
Welcome home.
Let's talk. I have something to say to you and Grandma.
What?
- Jeong Hoon quit? - Yes.
Why? Why so suddenly?
He can't teach forever.
He passed the bar,
so he'll have to go into training.
Even so,
he shouldn't be so irresponsible.
Dad.
I want to go on studying.
I want you to make him come back.
- You'll go on studying? - Yes.
If you want to study, I'll find another tutor.
Why should you cling to someone who wants to quit?
I want to study with Jeong Hoon.
I don't want anyone else.
Dad, get him to come back.
Jeong Hoon, you wanted to talk.
Mom.
Grandma.
I can't leave Soon Young.
Even if you don't approve, we will...
get married.
Jeong Hoon.
(Through the Waves)
How are we any better than Soon Young?
You'll never go beyond a street stall.
Just go on your way.
- Let's watch a movie. - A movie?
See you outside the cinema.
Kyung Ho's going on a blind date with a school teacher.
Get the money ready.
My goodness.
- Just get to the point. - You little...
How can I trust you with anything?
Oh Jeong Hoon.
He passed the bar. Do you know where he lives?
Oh Se Ra.
Can we talk for a while?
