Jeong Hoon.
- Soon Young. - Jeong Hoon.
Why are you here?
I couldn't reach you and I got worried.
You're okay, aren't you?
Yes.
Now that I know you're okay,
I'll go home now.
Soon Young.
- Jeong Hoon. - Let's talk.
Is this it?
Which house is it?
(Episode 24)
This is it.
Choon Ja.
Are you sure that cream's for the face?
Why is it so shiny?
Have you used American cream before?
They're always like this.
Are you bragging because you use one American product?
Seeing what it does, I wouldn't want to use it.
My goodness.
Is this where Han Kyung Ho lives?
Who? Han Kyung Ho?
Gosh, yes. Welcome, welcome.
Why are you looking for Kyung Ho?
I'm his mother.
How do you know my son?
That looks so heavy.
Give me that. I'll take it for you.
I'm not here to see Kyung Ho.
Do you know where Oh Jeong Hoon lives?
Jeong Hoon?
Yes. He's the person I want to see.
I heard he's Kyung Ho's neighbor. Don't you know him?
Jeong Hoon lives opposite us.
Does he?
I'll get him for you. Come with me.
Thank you.
Gosh, she looks like a really rich young lady.
Why would she want to see Jeong Hoon...
and not my Kyung Ho?
That's our loss.
How does she know Jeong Hoon?
Jeong Hoon, are you in?
Someone's here for you.
Is he out? Just a moment.
Jeong Hoon.
He's not in.
- Is Jeong Hoon out? - Yes.
Then is no one home?
His grandma should be.
She's asleep.
Why are you here to see Jeong Hoon?
How do you know him?
Give Jeong Hoon a message when he comes back.
What message?
My name is Mi Jin. Hwang Mi Jin.
Tell Jeong Hoon that I was here.
And that I have something to say so he should call me.
Okay.
Miss. Wait.
How do you know my Kyung Ho?
You had our home address.
You must know him as well.
The CEO of Daeguk Construction, the company he works at...
is my father.
You're the CEO's daughter?
Kyung Ho recommended Jeong Hoon as my tutor.
You're so pretty because you're the CEO's daughter.
You must tell Jeong Hoon I was here.
Hwang Mi Jin? What a pretty name.
Kim Choon Ja. What kind of a name is that?
Wait, wait.
You're such a special guest.
I can't just send you away.
Come inside and...
- Choon Ja, do you have coffee? - Yes.
Come inside and have some coffee.
No thanks.
Miss.
I feel bad for letting you go just like that.
What for when she isn't here to see Kyung Ho?
She's the CEO's daughter. Of course I'm disappointed!
Oh, dear.
What a pity she had to go like that.
Are you upset that I came over?
Did you not go to training today?
Why were you at home?
Is something the matter?
I came over because I was worried. You never drink and you got drunk.
What's going on, Jeong Hoon?
My...
acceptance was cancelled.
What?
What do you mean?
Cancelled? Why?
Jeong Hoon.
I'm sorry I let you down.
Why would you apologize to me?
Why was it cancelled? What happened?
Was there a mistake?
Someone could've made a mistake.
I asked around.
It's final.
Jeong Hoon.
How could this be?
Passing the bar was your only goal.
You studied so hard to get this far.
What about your mother and grandmother?
They had such high hopes for you.
What will you do about them?
Why are you worried about them?
Jeong Hoon.
Let's go.
We must go somewhere.
- Where? - My home.
I have something to tell you there.
Jeong Hoon, what are you doing?
I want to talk to my mom and grandma with you.
About what?
They must have so much on their minds.
What could you say to them now?
I should go home.
- Jeong Hoon. - Jeong Hoon.
What's going on?
Soon Young came over out of concern for me.
She was too shy to even announce herself.
Why should she act like that? What for?
Jeong Hoon.
What does she have to fear?
Why make her like that?
How am I so different?
Grandma.
Why do you dislike Soon Young? Why do you disapprove?
Jeong Hoon, what are you doing?
Say something.
Is our family that great?
Am I that great?
How? Why?
Why are you acting like this?
- I should go. - Yes, Jeong Hoon.
Soon Young, you should go.
Goodbye.
We should talk. Go inside.
You're acting out of character.
Why would that be?
Do you know where I was?
I applied for a job to see...
if people guilty by association...
can join a company.
And? What did they say?
I have to go back and check. If...
If I'm completely blacklisted and I can't work anywhere,
what shall I do then?
I'm as useful as someone without limbs. What can I do?
We don't know the result yet.
Let's wait and see, Jeong Hoon.
Why didn't you say Dad went to the north...
to get his sister?
If I can't work because Dad went north,
my life is as good as over.
Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Don't blame your dad.
Do you think he wanted to ruin your life?
He must be heartbroken not being able to come home.
I don't know about that. I just don't!
Oh, no.
Hee Moon. Hee Moon.
What should we do about your son?
Oh, dear... What should we do?
If you won't do as I say, leave my company!
Didn't you get the message? I just said get out.
You said you'd make me a singer.
Why are you making me clean?
Did you...
come to my home just to make me do this?
I think you're very mistaken.
I went looking for you because I need someone to train up,
not to treat you like a successful singer.
So train me into a singer...
instead of making me clean.
I told you clearly that I train singers my own way.
What does cleaning have to do with singing?
Why make me clean instead of teaching me music?
This is how I train singers. If you can't keep up,
I can't accept you.
So do as I tell you. If you can't, get out.
If you got the point, ask my staff where to sweep.
What? You still didn't get it?
Jin Kyu!
Yes, sir.
Get Se Ra out of here.
Let's go.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Mr. Cha told you, right?
Organize this room and clean it up.
Se Ra.
Sir.
- Se Ra's a troublemaker. - Why?
She really doesn't want to clean.
What's she doing?
Sitting in the office.
Protesting, I think.
- Let her be. - What?
I need to test if she's willing to start from the bottom.
Let's see how she reacts.
Are you going to stay there?
And not clean up?
I'm here to be a singer, not a cleaner.
Didn't our CEO tell you?
It's something every one of our trainees do.
Se Ra.
This is helping.
Other trainees do as they're told.
Why won't you?
I'm going home. You can as well.
Okay.
You're still here?
If you won't follow orders,
I don't need you. You can leave.
You can go home. I have to go.
Will you come tomorrow?
I don't think Mr. Cha told you this,
but our company has a training facility.
Other trainees register there to be trained up as singers.
Mr. Cha did you a favor. You don't even pay for the training.
How did Kyung Ho's CEO's daughter apply her makeup?
She looked so elegant.
Back from the market?
I don't work there anymore.
Why? Did your mom fire you?
What's that? Why are you wearing makeup in the evening?
To look like a rich young lady.
Guess what?
- Today, your brother... - I joined Lucky Entertainment.
- What? Lucky Entertainment? - Yes.
You said you wouldn't join even if the CEO called, but you gave in?
Will he make you a singer?
The nasty jerk told me to clean his office.
Why should a trainee clean?
Were you demoted?
He said that's his method.
All the other trainees started like that.
So what, you cleaned all day?
No. How could I clean all day...
when he should teach me how to sing?
He's just toying with me again.
I guess so. What'll you do now?
- I'll end it tomorrow. - How?
What I told you is a secret.
My mom and Kyung Ho think I work at a factory.
Okay.
How will you end it?
Sorry, sir.
You put off hiring someone because I asked...
and it didn't work out.
She's not sure she can be a clerk.
Yes. Thanks for being so understanding.
Goodbye.
Why such a long call just before going home?
- Sorry, sir. - Mr. Han.
- Do you know the CEO's daughter? - What?
Why would she ask for your home address?
You must be really close with Mr. Hwang's daughter.
She came to our office looking for Mr. Han.
Why did she need your address?
Did you give it to her?
I can't say that I don't know it when the CEO's daughter asked.
It'll be about the tutor I recommended, not me.
Really? I thought it was something else.
Mal Soon, you're back.
Do you know you had a visitor earlier today?
- A visitor? - You don't know?
Kyung Ho's CEO's daughter...
came to see Jeong Hoon.
Kyung Ho recommended Jeong Hoon...
as the young lady's tutor.
Your mother-in-law was asleep and no one else...
was home, so she just left.
Why do you think that young lady...
came all the way up here to look for Jeong Hoon?
Jeong Hoon quit tutoring.
Maybe that's why.
Is that it?
I thought the young lady had a crush on Jeong Hoon.
It's not that?
She left the presents she brought here.
Did you open them?
Don't you want to know what a rich girl would bring?
Have a look.
I have to set the dinner table. You should go home.
My goodness.
Is she worried I'll ask for some? She's so mean.
Why won't you tell me where you went?
You don't need to know.
What's the fuss about?
Dad, I have something to tell you.
What is it? Tell me.
I want to tell you in private.
Why should it be private? Tell him out here.
Okay, then. Go on.
I don't want Mom to nag me.
Am I someone who always nags?
Now talk.
I went to Jeong Hoon's home today.
Why would you go there?
How did you find his place?
There's a way to find out.
And? Did you see him?
No. He wasn't at home.
Did you see his family?
No, only his grandmother was home...
and she was asleep, so I left.
What are his living conditions? There's no point in asking though.
Dad, I think he's really poor.
He lives up a hill in a rundown shack.
How can people live in a thing like that?
Is he that poor?
Poorer than I thought.
So what? Did you change your mind?
I'm glad you went over there.
Did seeing his living conditions...
make you want to give up?
Did I like him because he's rich?
Why can't I marry Jeong Hoon just because he's poor?
Dad's rich.
Marriage?
How can you marry a poor man?
Honey, what should we do with her?
She's fallen for him and has lost her mind.
Talk her out of it, please!
There are two kinds of poor people.
They're ambitious or cowardly.
Based on how he acted around me,
he'll do pretty well.
That's why I like him.
Honey!
My goodness.
Why do you look so down?
Why didn't you see Jeong Hoon today?
You were so worried that he'd gotten drunk.
Why didn't you ask him about it?
Hey, will you say something?
Are you still upset that I went to see his family?
No.
I told you not to worry.
I gave my cabaret seamstress some clothes...
and asked her to put in a good word.
She said she would.
You should go to work.
You just have to hold onto Jeong Hoon.
And smile, girl.
Any blessing coming your way would want to leave.
You found the cash?
I almost broke my back...
trying to keep it a secret.
That means we're halfway to making our dream come true.
You just need to pinch it.
What are you whispering about?
What?
What? We weren't whispering.
We didn't say anything.
As if you weren't. Try this on.
Are you done?
Well done.
Seamstress, did you pay for the clothes?
What clothes?
What, you took my clothes and won't do your bit?
You said you'd put in...
a good word for me and Soon Young.
And I did.
Do you think I'd take your clothes and not keep my side of the deal?
How did it go?
Do you think they changed their minds?
That's not the issue.
A rich young lady came looking for your future nephew-in-law.
A rich young lady? Who was that?
The daughter of the CEO where my son works at.
Kyung Ho recommended...
Jeong Hoon as the girl's tutor.
He did?
Why would the CEO's daughter visit Jeong Hoon?
They say it's about the tutoring,
but how would I know?
Do you think...
she came by because she likes Madam Gu's niece's boyfriend?
What are you saying?
The rich young lady and her male tutor...
They usually hit it off.
The girl's family's rich and the man's family is poor,
but there are many smart poor men.
Don't you ever say that.
Jeong Hoon says he can't live without my niece.
What a joke.
Do rich young girls really...
hit it off with their tutors?
It has happened many times before.
In movies too.
Kyung Ho should've tutored the young lady...
and fallen in love with her.
What a pity.
Down the narrow path
Walks a lady in red shoes
Her shoes make a tapping sound I wonder where she is going
I would think she would turn around
She walks on as if She's counting her steps
The lady in red shoes She keeps walking on alone
Another delivery tomorrow?
It's a much bigger bulk tomorrow.
Take extra care.
Shall I take it to the usual place?
Not tomorrow.
I'll give Yong Chil the address.
Pick it up tomorrow.
Sure.
See you.
Sir, we only did business with one dealer.
Why would you send him somewhere else?
We kept him in the net long enough.
It's time to reel him in.
- Choon Ja. - What?
Did you see Bok Shil today?
Bok Shil? Yes, for a bit in the evening.
What's her new factory like? Is it okay?
Factory?
Oh, yes. It's nice.
Really?
- Is that what Jeong Tae gave you? - Yes.
What is it?
Are you curious about American products?
Here. It's American cream.
You put this on your face?
It's not face cream, Choon Ja, it's hair wax.
Hair wax?
It's written on the container.
Where?
I can't tell, it's all in English.
You silly.
- Jeong Tae. - What?
Do you know what you actually gave me?
How would I know?
It's something you put on your hair.
I had no idea and put it on my face.
I know you're dumb,
but you went to high school and you didn't know that?
You just got home?
Yes. Why are you out here?
I heard your voice.
Choon Ja, I want to talk to Jeong Tae.
Can you excuse us?
What is it about?
Go and wash your face. I can't stand looking at it.
Are you sure Jeong Hoon's acceptance was cancelled?
Yes.
- Why? - I don't know.
I can't ask him.
I can't even talk to him, so I'm pretending not to notice.
It's so frustrating.
Everyone had high hopes for him...
and seeing him suffer has put my mood in the dumps.
Oh, dear.
I may be a mess,
but I thought Jeong Hoon would live a fancy life.
You'll do just fine.
Mr. Kim.
Did you talk to the estate agent?
Yes.
I did yesterday, so people will come and look.
Good for you.
I'm going to look at houses in the lower valley today.
You do that.
I hope someone will move in...
around the time we want to move out.
I'm not sure if anyone will want to...
move into a place the size of a matchbox.
Choon Sam, here comes the breakfast table.
She keeps talking about matchboxes.
Did you know your CEO's daughter came to see Jeong Hoon?
- Yes. - I heard...
you recommended Jeong Hoon as her tutor.
Why did you do that?
You should've offered to teach her.
So,
why would the CEO's daughter want to see Jeong Hoon?
They must meet when Jeong Hoon comes over.
I heard Jeong Hoon quit. Is that why she was here?
I think she came to ask him to keep teaching her.
And not because she likes him?
I have to go.
I have to go as well.
Put everything away when you're done.
Where are you going so early in the morning?
There's a house for rent in the valley and I'll check it out.
What's the rush?
Yes. We can take our time.
Don't say that.
Kyung Ho can't get married while we live here.
I said I'm not interested.
Stop saying you won't get married.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
What should I do about this?
Wait.
Should I take it with me or should I put it back?
This is just insane.
What should I do?
- Are you going to work? - What? Yes.
Work hard this time.
Don't you upset me.
Okay, I won't.
- Are you off to work? - Yes.
Kyung Ho, you're out already?
Wait for me.
Did I make you wait? Let's go.
(Lucky Entertainment)
This is how I train singers.
If you can't keep up,
I can't accept you.
(Cha Sang Pil, CEO)
Come in.
After yesterday, I thought you wouldn't come back.
I want to succeed as a singer.
I'll do as...
I'll do as you say.
Keep your word and make me a singer.
Make me successful.
(Hansol Industrial Machines)
We ran your identity and...
your father's a defector.
You're guilty by association...
and can't work anywhere in Korea.
I think he left to see if he got a job.
Why isn't he back yet?
Jeong Hoon.
How did it go?
Did you find out?
Were you at the company you applied to?
What did they say?
Ok Boon.
Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon. What's wrong?
I'm okay.
Get out.
Jeong Hoon.
Oh dear, Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon. What should we do?
What should I do with you?
What's wrong?
Jeong Hoon's sick.
How bad is it? Is it serious?
You're burning up.
He's so stressed...
- that he got sick. - Oh, dear.
Jeong Hoon, be strong.
Jeong Hoon. I can't live if you give in like this.
What am I to do now?
Jeong Hoon. Jeong Hoon.
The company I applied to...
turned me down.
I can't work anywhere.
What?
Just leave me alone!
- Jeong Hoon. - Jeong Hoon.
Please leave.
Oh, dear. No...
Where did he go?
- Bok Shil, did you see Jeong Hoon? - No.
Jeong Tae, Jeong Woo.
Did you see Jeong Hoon?
No. Isn't he in his room?
I didn't see him.
What's going on?
Mother. Jeong Hoon's missing.
What? What are you talking about?
He was sick all night. Where could he have gone?
Where did he go?
(Jeil Sewing Factory)
Mother.
What's wrong?
Did you hear from Jeong Hoon?
Jeong Hoon?
No.
- No? - No.
Why ask about him?
He left home without a word.
He had a fever all night.
- What? - I thought...
he might have come to see you.
Where could he be?
He has nowhere else to go.
(Safety First)
Watch your step.
Be careful.
Slowly now.
Gosh, look at all that sweat.
Young man.
You don't look too well. I think you should stop.
You could get really sick.
He's right. You don't look like you've done this before.
You worked since dawn without a break. Why torture yourself?
I'm fine.
I'm afraid he'll cause an accident.
His legs are giving way.
Watch yourself.
Be careful, okay?
(Through the Waves)
Are you okay?
Bok Shil doesn't cause any trouble...
and works hard these days.
I like seeing you so much.
You don't get into fights and work hard.
I like him for some reason
What is Jeong Hoon turning into?
Why would the cops raid me if it's not illegal?
- Cops? - Can't you eat a bit?
I want to accept her as Jeong Hoon's wife.
We have Sang Pil.
He's not my son.
Will you marry my daughter?
