(Golden Chariot Cabaret)
Your eyes glimmer and shimmer
As you look at me...
- Come in. - Stop it.
It's over here.
- My heart flutters and shakes - There.
- As if it is a wildflower - Goodness.
Even when I look at you I miss you
That very person is you
Just like rain fog My feelings for you
Hide behind your back
Mom...
- What's going on? - Why did she stop?
- Hey, Bok Shil. - What's wrong?
- Hey! - Sing!
- What are you doing? - What's going on?
- What? - Why did you stop singing?
Goodness.
Why aren't you singing?
- Hey! - Why don't you sing?
- Get lost if you won't sing. - Get off the stage.
- Why aren't you singing? - Get lost.
- Hey! - Get lost if you won't sing.
- What are you doing? - Get lost.
- What's going on? - Hey.
My goodness.
Gosh.
Goodness.
Why aren't you singing?
I'm sorry.
Mom. Mom!
Mom! Look at me.
Is this why you ran away from home?
Look at what you're wearing!
This is why I don't approve.
What in the world are you doing at a bar?
Mom, this isn't everything.
This is just a process of becoming a singer.
Be quiet.
She's right, Mom. She doesn't do this every day.
You shouldn't encourage her.
Why did you drag me here...
when she's singing at a place like this.
Mom, I'll be singing...
on a proper stage soon.
Be quiet. It's not too late to quit.
Will you quit?
- No, Mom. - No?
Will you continue doing this?
I'm sorry to interrupt. Ma'am, please have a talk with me.
Do whatever you want if you won't listen to me.
I'll just think that I've lost a daughter.
Mom!
Please take care of Bok Shil.
- Are you Se Ra's brother? - Yes.
I'll do a proper introduction next time.
- Mom! - Mom.
Jeong Tae took Mom to where Bok Shil sings.
- Did he? - Yes.
It'd be nice if Mom brought Bok Shil home. Right, Grandma?
Yes, that'd be wonderful.
Goodness. What about Bok Shil? Why isn't she with you?
She left home...
to become a singer.
But she got egged on by drunk customers.
I saw that with my eyes, Mother.
How did that happen? Why?
Mom, that doesn't happen every day.
Grandma, it's not like that.
Things happen when you're on stage.
It can happen to popular singers too.
So don't think too much about it.
That's why I don't approve her being a singer.
It's not a life for a woman.
Mom. Bok Shil...
even delivered food at a restaurant...
so she could realize her dream.
Deliver food?
Did Bok Shil...
even do that?
Why would she even do that to become a singer?
She should just get married and live modestly.
Mom. Let her come home already.
She says she doesn't want to. She insists on becoming a singer.
Mom. She said she'd be a singer when she was working at a factory.
There's no point in disapproving anymore,
so you should just understand her and accept her.
Be quiet.
I don't need a daughter who doesn't listen to her mom.
Haven't you visited your mother all this time?
No.
- I'll see her and... - Please, don't.
My mom has hard feelings for you.
I'll take care of it.
All right then.
Don't worry about the performance tonight.
Go in and take a good rest.
I'm sorry.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying, Bok Shil?
I'm so upset, Kyung Ho.
I don't know why she had to come at that moment.
I wanted to make my mom proud.
Stop crying, Bok Shil.
I don't understand why she came to the cabaret.
Well...
I told Jeong Tae...
that I wanted you and your mom to make up,
that's why Jeong Tae took her there.
But she saw me like that.
So she'll be against it more.
I'm sorry. I think it all happened because of me.
I feel bad.
Don't feel bad.
I know you did it for me.
Bok Shil.
You should go back home.
No. Then whatever I achieved so far will become nothing.
Jeong Tae and I will help you...
so you can continue to sing.
I'll take care of it. Leave it up to me.
Still, you should come home.
Visit your mom often.
So she won't be angry anymore.
Otherwise, it'll get more difficult to get her permission.
Okay.
If my mom trusts in me like you support me,
I wouldn't want anything more.
(Daeguk Hospital)
It won't hurt anymore. It's okay.
Let's go home.
Where did they go?
Did something happen?
Where have you been this late?
You got me worried.
- We were at the hospital. - What?
Hospital? Why?
Is Min Su sick?
Why does he look so worn out?
He has a cold.
You scared me.
They say babies have cold all the time.
You didn't have to go to the hospital.
The doctor said Min Su's respiratory organs are weak.
So he could easily have pneumonia.
- Weak respiratory organs? - Yes.
Aunt Ae Shim.
He was burning up. He vomited and cried.
I was so scared.
And I felt terrible for Min Su.
We left him with the neighbor when we went to work.
What can we do? That's his fate.
Don't say that.
I'm so upset and I feel terrible for him.
Okay. Put him to bed. You take some rest too.
He has no money, no dad. He should be healthy at least.
This is so upsetting.
Min Su, don't be sick, okay?
Jeong Hoon.
Thank you.
I'm sorry that I threw out your grandma's food.
I didn't think you'd get angry over it.
What you did was...
You ignored my grandma.
Ignored her?
How could you...
Okay. I'll change my ways.
Mi Jin.
Please try to be close to my family.
Like I treat your father like my own,
I want you to do the same.
Okay. I'll do that.
You can go to bed first. I have to talk to your father.
Take the medicine.
This'll help us get pregnant soon.
Are you saying your uncle will win the election?
How can you be so sure when they haven't even voted?
Voting is just a formality.
I gave Uncle a very important source.
That will make him win for sure.
Is that right?
Sang Pil, that's wonderful.
Did you know?
Sang Pil helped your father-in-law a big time.
Why are you all out here?
Honey, I hear Sang Pil is helping you.
Sure. He's helping me a great deal.
- Jeong Hoon, come and sit down. - Yes.
I heard you went to the association.
How was it there?
President Park of Haemyung seemed very confident.
It's because the current chief is supporting him.
You should release the information I gave you.
It's better to take care of Haemyung...
I disagree, Father.
Like I told you,
winning that way will not help you in the long run.
Okay. I understand.
Both of you should continue with the preparation in your way.
Goodness. I'm tired.
Let's go inside. I'll give you a massage.
That'd be great.
Sang Pil. You'll make me the association chief's wife, right?
Yes, Aunt Geum Geum.
Goodness. This is nice.
- Mal Soon. - Yes?
Mr. Kim will be angry if he finds out.
- It's okay. - Clearly...
- that's stealing. - Well...
Mr. Kim.
I feel bad getting a spoonful every time,
so I'm going to leave some in my kitchen.
Is that okay?
Of course.
You can take a whole bunch.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Kyung Ho.
Goodness. You always look so handsome.
You look great.
Choon Ja, are you going somewhere?
Yes. I have an important appointment.
Kyung Ho, how do I look?
Goodness, Choon Ja. Why are you all dressed up?
All you do is bum around at home.
Don't say that. She looks pretty.
Don't I look nice?
- Goodness. - Gosh.
I look pretty good, right?
Of course.
Choon Ja, you look like a movie star.
You look wonderful together.
Wait a minute. Stand just like that.
Walk out like that.
Go. Quickly.
- Bye, Dad. - Goodbye.
Goodness.
Why are you sending them out together?
Anyway, thank you for this.
Sure.
Gosh, I need to get ready for work too.
Don't you think Mr. Kim is acting weird?
He wouldn't act so nice without any reason.
You're right. That is strange.
What's up with you two?
Kyung Ho, let's go. I'm late.
You can go first. I need to talk to Jeong Tae.
Okay.
See you later, Kyung Ho.
How is your mother?
I heard she got angry after seeing Bok Shil.
How did you know that?
I stopped by Lucky Entertainment after work.
I feel like I made things worse. I'm sorry.
Don't feel bad.
It's better to let them meet rather than not doing anything.
I'll persuade Bok Shil.
You talk to your mom...
so she'd accept Bok Shil.
I will.
Let's go. I'm opening Mom's restaurant today.
What a scene you made last night.
I heard what happened,
but how could you stop singing?
You're a total amateur.
Did Se Ra stop singing? Why?
Mr. Cha. I'll sing two songs too.
What do you mean?
She's singing two songs because we switched orders.
I'll sing two too.
You have to focus on preparing your album.
Se Ra needs more stage experience.
That's why she's singing two songs.
You're right. She has a long way to go.
Or she should just give up since her mom's against it.
I'm going to go practice.
Why is she so mean?
I have something to tell you.
Come into my office.
Are you feeling better today?
Please prepare my debut album quickly.
That way my mom will approve me,
and I'll get to go home with my head held high.
Please wait. Hye Rin will debut first,
then you will when it's time.
When will that be? I'm sure you have a plan.
Don't pester. Being in haste won't do you any good.
I know.
But I want to become successful so I can show my mom.
I'd like to talk to your mother.
I said I'd take care of it.
Okay. Let me know if you need any help.
I will. Please hurry up and make my debut album.
I beg of you.
Why isn't Mr. Oh in yet?
He's meeting someone from Ministry of Construction.
How do you know that?
He called when you were in a meeting.
You should've told me sooner.
Then I would've gone to the bathroom.
Good morning, Mr. Oh.
- Mr. Han, I need to see you. - Yes.
Why doesn't he even say hello? Goodness.
If we had another election...
Were you at the Ministry of Construction?
Yes. I had a meeting with the policy director.
He's our college alumnus.
I know Director Kim. Why did you go see him?
I talked to him about getting funds for...
Construction Technology Education Center.
Will the Ministry of Construction provide funds?
They've already been discussing...
the need for an education center.
They were happy to hear about our plan.
That's great.
The election is tomorrow. Will it be approved by then?
He'll have a meeting with ministers tomorrow morning.
If it gets approved tomorrow, it'll get underway swiftly.
We'll have to wait.
That's it then.
It'll be a key to winning the election.
The chairman will be able to win.
It's not approved yet, so don't tell anyone.
And this.
It's the chairman's speech. Please review it.
I'll do the final edits.
Okay.
Ms. Uhm. Bring that over if it's done.
Ms. Uhm!
Yes, ma'am.
She's asking for the garment she gave you earlier.
Yes.
You're acting strange. Is something wrong?
Here you go.
Goodness. What's wrong with the stitching?
What did you do?
It's ruined.
I'm sorry. I'll do it again.
You've just started working here.
Are you slacking off already? Do you want to be fired?
I'll do it again.
I'll be out for the fashion show.
You better do it right this time. You got that?
Okay.
- Ok Boon. - Yes.
You can use these at the restaurant.
We don't need them here.
Okay.
By the way, Jeong Hoon called last night.
He said he was too busy to visit.
Has Mi Jin called?
Not even once.
She knows we have a phone now. Why doesn't she call?
Mother. Try this medicine.
What is it?
A customer gave it to me.
He said it's good for leg joints.
Is that right? How nice of him.
This is great. I've been having joint pains at night.
This will help.
- Good. - Ok Boon.
Can't we tell Jeong Tae...
to give Bok Shil some kimchi?
What for?
Then she'll think that I'm supporting her.
It's because I feel bad for Bok Shil.
She even delivered food.
I'm upset too.
But I won't do anything for her until she gives up on singing.
Please don't get too soft on her.
- You're here. - Yes.
Jeong Woo went out for delivery.
Jeong Woo made this bowl of noodles.
He's pretty good.
I'm sure he barely made it.
I'm sorry. I had to go home to get some baskets.
It's really delicious.
By the way, why do you look so down?
It's because of Bok Shil.
I saw her sing at a cabaret last night.
I feel so upset.
Goodness.
Now that Choon Ja is old enough to be married,
I have a lot of concerns.
I'm sure you're the same.
Is Choon Ja getting married?
No, not yet.
But I think there's a man she likes.
Is that right? Who is it?
I can't say it right now.
It looks like Choon Ja really likes him.
I also like him too.
But I'm not sure if it'll lead to a marriage.
I've been thinking about it.
There are just so many things to consider.
I see.
Anyway, Choon Ja and Bok Shil...
should find nice guys and get married.
Seeing them living happily...
will make us relieved, right?
You're right.
Did you get money from that old man?
The man who gave us medicine? He wasn't here.
I just saw him leave.
Did he leave because he didn't have money?
- What old man? - There is a strange old man.
He ate here a few times without paying.
But he paid with an expensive medicine instead.
Who would pay with medicine instead?
1, 2. Nice. Look this way.
Give me some fierce eyes. Good.
Relax a little. Nice.
Why are we taking pictures like this?
Let's do the cover photo again properly.
I'm taking these pictures for you because you're pretty.
All right. Look sexier. Good. Fierce eyes.
One more time. Good.
Look at the camera.
Be sensual. Good.
One more time. More sensual. Good.
Dad's youth
Bok Shil.
Why are you so excited?
Ask me where I was and what I did.
Where were you and what did you do?
Never mind. I'll show you later.
Oh, you.
Anyway, I'm not a lazy bum anymore.
I'll make Jeong Tae regret turning me down.
Why do you look so down?
Did your boss scold you again?
It's because of Mom.
What about her? Did something happen?
I don't want to talk.
Don't mind me and keep being excited.
Ms. Jung. I'll go home now.
Ms. Hwang isn't back yet. You can't leave.
Where are you going?
It's time to go home.
It's only a minute past your work hour.
Did you finish what I gave you earlier?
I'll finish it tomorrow.
Are you leaving without finishing this?
Don't you know how busy we are with the fashion show?
I'll finish everything tomorrow, It won't affect the show.
I have to go home. I'm sorry.
Hey! Ms. Uhm!
What's up with her?
How dare she ignore me? Gosh.
Aunt Ae Shim, how is Min Su?
Be quiet. He's sleeping.
How was his fever?
Did he drink milk?
His fever went up and down. He couldn't eat.
He kept waking up and crying. Gosh, I'm tired.
Thank you, Aunt Ae Shim.
Let him sleep. Don't wake him up.
Goodness.
Thank you so much.
You should stay home and take a day off.
I will. I won't go to work today.
You won't know what to do if he's sick again.
Poor Min Su.
His mom is poor and he doesn't even have a dad.
Why doesn't he have a dad?
I'm his father and mother.
I'm going to love him...
and raise him better than anyone else.
I'll make sure he grows up to be a confident person.
Sure. You be both his mother and father.
Since the new singers aren't here,
it's so quiet and nice here.
You're right. This is so peaceful.
By the way,
why isn't Ae Shim at work yet?
Is Madam Gu here?
Yes, she is.
That's my wish.
She isn't here.
Should we go get her?
- Do you know where she lives? - No.
I don't know her address.
What should we do?
Why this...
She isn't hired yet.
I said I'd hire her if she brought in customers.
Just fire her.
When did Madam Gu quit?
After what happened to you last year, she quit right away.
She said she'd open up her own shop.
Why did she come back looking all shabby?
Did her shop go under?
Or did she lie about opening a shop?
She said her niece got married.
I'm not sure if she lives with her niece or not.
Before she was really talkative.
But she doesn't talk much these days.
Now that I think of it,
she doesn't even brag about how her niece is...
happily married.
Tomorrow is the election day.
Good luck, honey.
Jeong Hoon and Sang Pil are helping me.
There's nothing to worry about.
- Where is Jeong Hoon? - Well,
he's in the library to edit the speech.
I see.
Sang Pil already got a great source, why is he tiring himself out?
Honey, when you're elected,
you should praise Sang Pil.
He's busy with his work, but he's still helping you.
He's so admirable.
Don't you know why he's doing that?
He's trying to be on Dad's good side.
Don't say it like that.
Sang Pil is working hard and it's true.
When he called to say he'd be late because of work,
he worried about your dad's election.
You should stop.
Mi Jin, go bring some tea for Jeong Hoon.
Okay.
Thank you.
Don't you have time to look at me?
I want you to cheer me up a little.
Is there something wrong?
I met some people for the fashion show,
but it wasn't easy.
And the seamstress is slacking off.
You said she was good. You were happy with her work.
I thought she was, but she isn't.
I think I was too good to her.
You have to show care and concern toward your employees.
You should come and see her. Then you wouldn't say that.
All she cares about is going home and makes mistakes.
Are you listening?
I can't get mad at you because you're helping my dad.
(Bok Shil's Diner)
Still, you should come home.
Visit your mom often.
So she won't be angry anymore.
Otherwise, it'll get more difficult to get her permission.
- Mom. - Bok Shil!
Mom, Bok Shil is here.
Why are you here?
Are you here for good?
If so, you can stay. If not, get out.
Mom, listen to me.
Yesterday was different. It doesn't happen every day.
My boss said...
he'll make me a real singer soon.
He's expecting a lot from me. We're preparing an album.
Really, Bok Shil?
Am I against you becoming a singer because you aren't successful?
Mom, please trust me.
So you're saying you'll go ahead and become a singer.
Mom, please.
What's wrong with us?
Other mothers and daughters have great relationships.
But what happened between us?
You just have to give me permission.
Then I'll be more good to you. Please, Mom.
Why would you want to...
live a life of a clown?
People will gossip about you.
Do you think you'll be able to get married?
Nobody would want that kind of woman as their daughter-in-law.
Not everyone thinks like you.
What's wrong with being a singer?
Bok Shil. It's not just me.
Everyone else in the world thinks that way.
You don't know anything.
You can come home if you quit being a singer.
If not, never come home again.
I can't give up being a singer.
I won't give up.
Why you... Leave if you'll act stubborn.
I don't want to see you again. So leave!
I'll leave.
I won't come back to see you anymore.
Bok Shil.
That wretched girl.
Bok Shil! Wait.
You can't go like this.
Mom won't even budge.
What do you want me to do?
Bok Shil.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Se Ra.
Where have you been? Why are you crying?
I won't go home anymore.
I'll...
live like a person without family.
Did you go see your mother?
Se Ra. Let's go have a talk.
Bok Shil was at the restaurant?
Yes.
But she was talking to Mom and...
And then? What happened?
What are you two talking about?
Kyung Ho. Bok Shil was at the restaurant.
When was it?
So will she come back home?
No.
Mom told her never to come back if she was going to be a singer.
So Bok Shil left crying.
I'll go see her.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Where did she go?
Didn't she come here?
I don't know why Mom and I keep fighting.
Still, I envy you.
You have a Mom who scolds you.
Don't you...
have a mother?
I understand...
why your mom is worried.
Your mom wants you to live...
a normal life.
No.
My mom...
never understood me since I was little.
She only supported my eldest brother.
She never cared about me.
If my dad was alive,
I would've become a singer already.
My dad liked me to sing.
But not my mom.
When I was little,
I went to see a singing contest.
And that's when my younger brother hurt his leg.
I'm sure my mom resents me because of that.
She probably blames me for it.
I'm a terrible daughter to her.
Still, I missed my mom the most...
when I was living away from home.
But she told me to get out. She said she didn't have a daughter.
I trusted you...
and left home...
to become a singer. But I wasn't sure...
if you'd really make me a singer.
Se Ra.
Can't you trust me?
You said you'd trust me and follow me.
I care about you a lot.
Please stop crying.
It breaks my heart.
It breaks your heart?
(Through the Waves)
It's okay.
- He cares about me. - He cares about you?
The minister of construction promised to provide funds.
Thanks to Jeong Hoon I was unanimously elected.
Don't make me feel lonely.
He betrayed a woman who was carrying his baby.
Don't even think about having Kyung Ho as your son-in-law.
- Se Ra will have dinner with me. - Pardon?
I'll introduce you to the new seamstress.
I asked her out first.
What are you doing? Let's go.
Come in.
Kyung Ho, I'll see you later.
