The baby you carried... was my younger sibling.
At least I can do this much...
I'd feel a little better acknowledging my sibling...
Hello, I'm Madam Kim.
Thank you for coming.
Bring us your best girls.
They'd better be lookers.
I'll bring the most popular girls.
Well...
Yes?
Can we do without girls?
Shouldn't nobles enjoy fine entertainment?
It's my treat, so please let me take care of this.
Can we just talk about business?
This is my style.
I never talk about business after the sun goes down.
It's good to just have a drink and let our friendship develop.
As the heirs of nobles, let's have a good time together.
What are you waiting for? Go get your girls.
Yes, Mr. President.
My son's the president. I'm the chairman.
Yes, Mr. Chairman. I won't let you down.
Give me a kiss.
What?
How dare you do that in front of Father!
I was just trying to not let down Chairman Lee.
It wasn't because you were really enjoying yourself?
Come on, Soo-young.
Can't you tell this is how Chairman Lee gets off?
I don't want him to think we're sissies
and break off the partnership.
Chairman Lee likes to have a little fun.
Let's just go with the flow.
Was that in my fridge?
I brought it from home.
Regular kimchi would be too spicy.
I have a rice cooker.
I used a pot, so I could make rice tea.
I don't have any cookware because I don't cook at home.
Please enjoy.
A meal made by my lover's daughter...
There's boiled pumpkin water in the fridge.
Please drink some everyday.
What's it good for?
It's good post-birth food.
You even have boiled pumpkin water at your house?
No, I bought it from a supplement store.
Don't you hate me?
Shouldn't you hate me for your sibling?
I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision.
It's good.
Isn't it funny that I'm acting like I have a hangover?
Come on, President Ha.
It's no fun by myself. Come on, Gang-suk.
That's how I feel about the traditional family system.
The memorial service and the guest service...
Guest service?
The custom of treating the guests.
That's just not me.
I hate having guests over.
That's why I felt bad for the baby.
My family doesn't even turn away a single guest,
and the baby was a member of our family...
President Ha...
Where are your sons?
Were you looking for me?
Please ask your father to sing a song.
Father.
I'll sing. I'm a pretty good singer.
Please give me a second.
What are you doing out here?
Just getting some air. What about you?
I'm getting some air too.
You must be tired.
I really don't enjoy these.
But at least Tae-young's entertaining Chairman Lee.
Please go back in.
Yes.
Soo-young.
Yes?
It'd have been nice if you were a bit like Tae-young.
It hurts me to see that you're so much like me...
I was afraid.
By the way, Suk-ho was my upperclassman in college.
I see.
He was such a nice person.
I never thought I'd meet a guy like him again,
so I actually considered changing my mind.
I didn't want to break his heart.
But I just couldn't.
I was afraid to have a baby,
but more afraid of becoming the head housewife of that family.
I'm not cut out to be a part of such a family.
I felt it even more when I met you last time.
What do you mean?
We're from completely different worlds.
I'd only end up hurting you in some way.
Was I the problem? I only meant to help...
I didn't want to hurt you.
So I made the decision that I did to protect your world.
Then Liu Bei was appointed to the post in Zhong Shan.
Father, isn't it different than reading a novel?
I didn't know comic books were so much fun.
If you'd stayed a little longer,
I might've been reading them for you.
What is it?
I have the first volume that you read already.
What are you doing, Grandpa?
I'm reading the book to my father.
But he passed away.
I'm sure he can hear me.
Really?
Yes.
Can I ask you something, Grandpa?
What is it?
Why is Great-great-grandpa's room empty?
Can you use this room, and I'll use yours?
You don't want to share a room with me?
It's not that.
It's just that this room has no use.
Sure it does. Why don't you want to use this room?
Great-great-grandpa's room is scary.
Why?
Because he's dead. I mean, he passed away.
Will you be scared to enter my room after I'm dead?
Probably not.
Why not?
Because I'd remember how we fought over a comic book.
My father and I had good moments too.
You and Great-great-grandpa fought over a comic book?
It's a little different.
Dong-dong.
Yes?
Think of it like this.
Your dad, Grandpa, me,
and the late great-grandfather are in you.
That's why you have to behave and be polite.
It's hard.
It will be for the time being.
But just keep what I said in mind.
He's such a fun guy.
You're up next.
It's me. How are you feeling?
I'm okay. Don't worry about me.
Young-in.
Don't tell me that you're sorry.
But I'm sorry.
The surgery went well, so don't worry. Bye.
Thank you.
Sure.
Tonight was fun, thanks to Director Ha.
Thank you. Let's get together again sometime.
You got it.
Please get home safely.
I'm sorry if you didn't enjoy it.
I'm sorry if I ruined the mood.
My father had a great time.
Good job.
Did Father just praise me?
I think so. Good job.
I could get used to this.
I should stop before people wake up.
Yes.
A police officer shouldn't hassle innocent citizens.
Right.
But the sun will rise again tomorrow.
Yes.
Jin-ah.
Yes?
I should live on, right?
Of course.
Our best days have yet to come, right?
We can only hope.
My best days have yet to come.
The sun still rises in the cloudy sky.
As long as I still have my youth.
What's that noise?
Bad sleeping habits.
Did I burn the rice again?
Who could that be?
I thought you were coming back tomorrow.
There wasn't an extra room...
Where did she drink so much?
My house.
Welcome home.
Joo-jeong's home, Mr. Chairman.
You brat...
Ha Joo-jeong reporting back from duty.
She had nothing to do other than smile,
so she snuck some wine and drank a little.
Then my grandmother poured her some shots.
I'm sorry about that.
No, my grandma and mother are quite liberal people.
They welcome people who can hold their liquor.
They're very understanding.
Did everything go as planned?
They would've liked bigger hips,
but they're happy with whomever I choose.
Then I'll take my leave...
It's late. You should sleep over.
But I don't mean to be a bother...
Don't worry.
You're a guest in this house. Don't worry.
You're a guest in this house.
Sam-wol.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Please make his bed in Tae-young's room.
Yes.
Grandma, Jo-man, I want water.
What the heck are you doing here?
Your brother made me stay.
Did you make doo-doo, Mister?
You do this every day?
Every morning and night.
That's hardcore.
It is hardcore.
It wasn't me.
It's the guy that you forced to sleep over.
Where's my rice?
Meal replacement.
You're already tired of doing housework?
That's not it.
My boss gave me these last night.
We'll just make do with these.
This isn't enough...
We'll have to live on these
since you're going to help your sister out.
I won't help her.
I know you will.
That guy asked where you were yesterday.
Mr. Tickets.
Did he get one yesterday?
No, he actually survived a day.
I would've let him slide anyway, since he's a regular.
You sure take good care of your customers.
You drank? I thought you went out on business.
Same thing.
You still reek of alcohol.
It was for business.
I have to go to work.
Have you eaten?
We had hangover soup.
That President Ha's a weakling.
He was worn out even though he didn't drink that much.
People aren't as energetic as you.
It's because I ate frogs growing up.
And the white snake?
When I was 10, I ate a white snake too.
You were quite adventurous.
I sure was.
Are you going to help them now?
They're such sissies.
Are they acting sassy?
No, but they don't know how to have a good time.
The younger son was quite a character though.
I thought this was about business?
He'd make a good drinking partner...
Is that the issue here?
I don't want to get attached to him...
What?
I'd feel bad when I screw them over...
You may think that the women of the period
were obedient to the men who wielded the power.
But in times of trouble, women rose to the challenge
and held shamanistic rites.
When men couldn't come up with a solution to fight famine,
they asked women for help.
We can confirm the strength of women from
Jindo's goblin exorcism.
Even when all hope was lost, women hung their pads on poles
and held the rites.
Think about it.
They did all this in front of the men who oppressed them
and regarded them as mere subjects.
What's more interesting is...
The very men who oppressed them didn't dare come out
while the rites were going on.
Although the women of those times were forced
to be obedient, they let go of their shame,
and even dared to put their bloody pads on display.
That was a demonstration of their spirit and will
to protect their children and their husbands.
You're an amazing feminist. I was moved by your speech.
Why don't you use that woman's power you talked about?
I know a way you can help your family.
It's not as bad as putting a bloody pad on a pole.
I'm sure you're aware of the problem
your family's company is having.
I'm in a position to bail them out.
But for some reason, I'm not willing.
But there is a way...
Please just get to the point.
We're similar.
I don't like people who beat around the bush.
If you hand over the genealogy, I might change my mind.
Can't you do it for your family?
Do you know that you're dirty?
Of course.
I even told Chairman Ha that I'm a cold-blooded businessman.
But he's much more sensible than you are.
I wonder if you have his sense.
Do you like toying with people?
I wonder if you understand the value of human life.
People aren't prey that you hunt.
You shouldn't resort to such cheap methods.
As a businessman, I like to bargain.
Then let me put it in a way you can understand.
Your offer is not enough.
My offer isn't enough even though
it could save your family's business?
What more can I offer?
Someone gave his life to protect that genealogy.
How about your life as the price?
Then I might change my mind.
Isn't that a fair price to pay to purchase
the history of a family?
Let me know when you want to make the deal.
You really know how to push my buttons.
As you said, I do like hunting.
The more you push me, the more aggressive I get.
Let her go.
Stay out of it.
I can't do that.
Because she's your girl?
You got me all worked up. That's a bad mistake.
Why does he keep showing up?
Do you like toying with people?
I wonder if you understand the value of human life.
How about your life as the price?
Maybe he has an ulterior motive.
He even came to the lecture room.
And what's that about you getting him worked up?
What are you trying to say?
I'm jealous.
Some punk comes in and runs his mouth,
and you slap him and make weird faces.
Mind your manners.
No.
Then don't come around me anymore.
Don't come to my lecture either.
What's wrong with him?
He didn't even greet me.
You shouldn't hurt his feelings.
Please stop that.
Stop urging him on. He's just a kid.
What's wrong, Hyun-gyu?
There's money on this game.
Has he gone crazy?
Seems like it.
An eye for an eye.
Are you all right?
I bet he got rejected by Professor Ha again.
What else could it be?
You like Joo-jeong, Grandmother?
I told you she's much better than Teun-shil.
You should've believed me.
Grandmother, you meanie.
Her small hips?
Girls with small hips can give birth well too.
Seriously, I saw it on the news.
I'm serious.
That news anchor's my colleague.
You know I'd never lie to you.
Is it a go?
Don't fold.
Go for Three-go!
Talk to you later, Grandmother.
What is it, Director?
Is that how it was?
No wonder you two always drank together.
I'm sorry?
You and Joo-jeong are a match made in heaven.
Don't say that.
It's really hard to find one's match in this world.
You two are really meant to be.
You can save each other from misery.
For once, you two did something right.
How womanly of you...
Who proposed first?
What the heck did you do last night?
Nothing, I just slept over at her house.
You've already gotten that far?
No, that's not what I meant.
Joo-jeong. My beloved Joo-jeong.
What?
Do you want to give me an assignment?
I'm so proud of you.
Make that the first time I've been proud of you.
Are you drunk or something?
You don't have to be so shy.
Good going, you two.
Bravo!
Life is wonderful!
What's up with him?
I don't know.
Did he get promoted?
I don't think so.
That couldn't be it.
He's just barely hanging on...
Director!
What?
Are you paying less alimony?
Byung-do!
Are you okay?
It really must be love...
Do you hate me now?
Is that why you won't even look at me?
I just can't do it.
Why's that?
Because I came to work like nothing happened?
That's not it.
Then what is it?
I just can't face you...
It breaks my heart to look at you.
What happened?
I sprained my ankle.
Weakling. I'm off to my lecture.
Excuse me.
May I have a cheesecake and strawberry juice?
Excuse me.
What is this?
I found it on the street. Please take it.
Found this on the street?
Yes, on the street.
I have a lecture...
Hey.
Your change.
I'll get it later.
Your best score is 60?
Yes, can I have your seal of approval?
Do you need it?
Yes.
You're just going to give it to me?
Isn't that what you asked for?
You're not going to beat me?
Should I?
No, but my mom used to.
Did that make your scores go up?
No.
Then no point in beating you.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Did your teacher beat you when you had bad scores?
No.
Then what's wrong with your eyes?
This kid teased me for having the lowest score.
So you got into a fight?
I charged that kid.
And then?
I got a taekwondo beating.
So you got beaten up?
I couldn't win against a black belt.
You didn't get at least one hit in?
I don't hit girls.
It was a girl?
But Hyun-ji's a black belt.
She was even in the Seoul tournament.
But why'd you charge her if you didn't mean to hit her?
Why'd you charge her?
I wanted to hit her, but she was faster than me.
What are you doing, Grandma?
Serve the tea before it gets cold.
Later.
Are they fighting over the comic book again?
Dong-dong is having a serious discussion with the Chairman.
Is something wrong with Dong-dong?
It sounded like he had a big problem.
He shouldn't discuss it with the Chairman.
Then whom should he talk to?
Since I'm young,
I'd be more qualified to give him advice.
Get a grip on your own life first.
Have you finished crying?
Yes.
Feeling better?
A little.
Dong-dong.
Yes?
You'll eventually become stronger and faster than Hyun-ji.
Should I hit her then?
No, just avoid her.
Why? I should take revenge.
You should never hit women.
But she hits me.
Just try not to get hit.
That's unfair.
That's how it is.
Because they're stronger, men have to protect women.
But Hyun-ji doesn't protect me.
She's not a woman yet.
Don't forget women are very important.
Why's that?
They give birth.
You know men can't give birth, right?
Of course I do.
So just bear with it.
She'll eventually realize that you're not just taking it
because you're weaker than her.
You're home early.
I'm so tired from the trip.
Poor thing.
Where's Soo-young?
He has an engagement.
He should get some rest too...
I'm home, Father.
What's this?
60's okay, but 40's a little too low.
But I did better than last time.
I had a 30 last time.
Then good job.
What's wrong with your eye?
Grandpa.
Yes?
Don't tell them I got beaten by Hyun-ji.
You got beaten by a girl?
How'd you know that, Dad?
You just said it with your own mouth.
It's a shame to get beaten up by a girl.
He didn't get beaten up.
Look at his face, Grandfather.
That's evidence, not to mention his confession.
He let her beat him.
I just let her beat me because she's a girl.
No, I don't want to.
Let them take care of their own lives.
Mom, I have my own life to worry about.
Let her get divorced.
It's not that big of a deal nowadays.
I'm not the one with 3 kids.
Mom, I won't do it.
Finally.
Let me guess.
Your arranged date partner has 3 kids?
It's better than 4 kids!
She must be really shocked.
Normally, she'd throw a turnaround punch.
You don't have to sink that low.
You can do better than that, okay?
Where are you?
Home.
Want to come over?
No?
Not for now.
Okay.
Hello.
Hello?
Hi, Miss Dan-ah.
Just checking to see if you ate.
Please make sure to eat something.
And drink the boiled pumpkin water.
That's all. Goodbye.
Why are you still here?
We have new items on display. Why are you still here?
I was working on my dissertation.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I know that I may be doing something useless.
Like you said, it might only hurt him in the process,
and I do feel bad that Hyun-gyu has feelings for you.
So just stop it.
But I still want to help him. I'm Jin-ha's distant cousin.
Although I'm just a distant cousin,
I cared for Jin-ha as if he were my brother.
I know.
I see him in my dreams every once in a while.
What does he say to you?
Nothing.
He just gives me a disappointed look.
See? He doesn't want you to urge on a kid.
It was before Hyun-gyu showed up.
His face seems to say, Don't just let Dan-ah be.
Please do something for her.
Maybe there's a reason Hyun-gyu resembles Jin-ha?
And why he likes you so much.
There's no reason. There better not be.
Good evening.
Hello, it's not busy tonight.
I think it's the cold weather.
You're alone again?
My coworker's friend came to see him.
He must have a lot of friends.
How much?
Ten dollars.
Sorry?
I filled up earlier today.
Even ten dollars might be too much.
You just came to say hi?
You said you'd give me great service.
The other gas station didn't even give me tissue.
Would you like some coffee?
Have you been eating well?
What?
You always ask me that.
Do I?
Do you worry about me starving?
I don't want you to collapse again.
I saw you driving to work last time.
I guess you didn't see me waving.
I saw you.
I could've given you coffee if you had stopped by.
I was with my father.
I would've given him a cup too.
You could've just waved back.
I was actually embarrassed that you snubbed me.
I'm not good at these things.
I'm really sorry, Jin-ah.
You were gone for 3 hours.
Go home. I'll be fine alone.
I can't let you work alone.
Go home.
I have to make it up to you somehow.
Thanks for keeping it a secret from the boss.
Drive home safely.
What is it?
I'll drop you off.
No, my house is really close.
The weather's really cold.
I feel like a chairman, and you're my chauffer.
Should I charge you?
You're not a registered taxi driver.
Mister.
Yes?
Why'd you put me in the backseat?
Is something wrong with that?
Don't people normally sit in the front seat?
Is that right?
I've never had a woman passenger other than my family.
Really? Not even once?
No.
But when you were dating, she wasn't your family, right?
Did you make her ride in the backseat then?
Isn't your house around here?
Yes, you can drop me off here.
I live there.
Good night. Make sure to eat well.
I know I'm repetitive.
Mister.
Yes.
What's your name?
We haven't been properly introduced.
My name is Oh Jin-ah.
Oh's the family name of my orphanage director.
My name is Ha Soo-young. Good night.
Ha Soo-young. Your name suits you.
Do you like toying with people?
I wonder if you understand the value of human life.
What are you doing?
I can't go to sleep.
Your father wants to have a drink too. Join him.
No, we'll be up too late.
Right. Let me get you some cheese.
It's all right.
I'm just having one glass.
Stop wasting your energy.
I'm doing this for you.
Don't drink more than a glass.
What's up?
I feel bad that Gang-suk isn't interested in getting married.
It can't be helped.
His standards are too high.
He took a glass of wine to his room.
Tell him to join me.
He said you'd both be up too late.
He seemed lonely.
Gang-suk? No way.
Gang-suk's just not the type to get lonely.
I know work is important to him,
but he's a young man.
How would he not get lonely?
He doesn't really date either.
I'm sure he's lonely, but he just doesn't tell us.
So we've been telling him to get married.
Buy an expensive piece of art from Mr. Choi.
What's that got to do with anything?
Then he'll find a good girl for Gang-suk, right?
Is that what you meant?
You'd be perfect if you weren't such a ditz.
Meanie.
Isn't it cute when I act like a ditz?
Actually, yes.
How about your life as the price?
Then I might change my mind.
Are you asleep?
No.
It's late.
I'm not that smart, so I have to study hard.
Dan-ah, tomorrow...
Don't go.
You have such a good memory.
Please don't go.
Sam-wol, I'm a devoted person.
Happy 35th birthday.
Make a wish.
Your present is...
...me again.
Aren't you so happy?
YOO JIN-HA'S GRAVE
You must be cold.
That's why I don't wear a warm jacket.
You're here freezing,
so I can't wear a warm jacket.
Aren't I so devoted?
I don't know why these weeds won't go away.
Hopefully, it'll be nicely green next spring.
WIFE: HA DAN-AH
Isn't it smart that I had our names
inscribed in Korean characters?
People will be able to recognize our names for years to come.
They'll know You Jin-ha's wife was Ha Dan-ah.
Our names in Chinese characters are difficult to read.
You're too much, Jin-ha.
You didn't even give me time to call you my husband.
It's been 10 years since we've been married,
but I still can't call you "honey."
If you'd spent more time with me, I could've done that.
So...
It's not my fault, Jin-ha.
You're cutting me off because I got an abortion?
I'm afraid.
You did cut me off.
How will I ever find a girl like Hyun-ok again?
Looks like your love is one-sided.
That's not good for you.
Don't be mean to him because of me.
Do you think he won't help our company?
They might be after our ownership.
Accept their offer.
We're in the same boat now.
I hope we're on the same page.
Mister!
What are you doing here?
You can pretend that you don't know me.
It feels like I've met a worthy opponent.
I thought I asked you to bet your life.
Can you handle my life?
Don't treat her like that. I'm warning you.
Don't announce your unrequited love.
Young people can be reckless.
