Let's all pray together.
The Lord who is alive and eternal.
We all come from him...
...and go back to him eventually.
For the Lord is righteous, we sinful humans cannot face him.
For our bodies will rot, our souls cannot face him.
However, he saved us with the love proven through the cross...
...and promised us resurrection and eternal life.
And for that we are grateful.
As Jesus Christ rose from the dead,
with the triumphant sound of horns,
his glory will be with you forever.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.
-Amen. -Amen.
Oh my...
Youngjae.
Soochang, get up.
Youngjae!
Mom...
One, two, three.
Why do you think she did it?
No matter how much I think about it, I just couldn't comprehend it.
She had no reason to do such a thing.
Was she depression by any chance?
Myungjoo?
She was so happy though.
Let's be honest. All three of us were jealous of her.
Was she terminally ill or something?
No, she wouldn't.
Even if she had stage-four cancer, she would've never leave Youngjae like that.
Seojin, you were closest to her out of all of us.
Did you notice anything out of ordinary...
...lately?
I know, right?
Can I still call myself her close friend?
I really don't understand.
We made plans for brunch.
I feel so sorry for Youngjae.
He seemed completely shocked and dazed.
It was something that we didn't expect.
He was traveling. The news must've shocked him terribly.
By the way, why did Professor Park...
...decide to move in such a rush?
Soochang!
Soochang.
Hey, Joonsang.
Is it true?
I'm asking if it's true that you resigned?
Soochang!
Gosh.
I'm sorry.
I know I should stay to help you get promoted as the director.
Is that the issue right now?
Bye.
Please, come to your senses.
Will you give up on both, your family and career?
Have you thought about Youngjae?
You said you want to pass everything down to him.
Seriously?
He really resigned?
I totally understand that he's in utter shock now,
but he's someone who dreamed of being the hospital president.
He was the head of neurosurgery and an executive director.
And he's next in line to become president.
Gosh, that's such a shame.
Then what will happen to Joonsang?
You said he can only be promoted with Professor Park's support.
He's totally screwed now.
You think he'll be selected as director now that Professor Park is gone?
For the director's position,
the hospital president can appoint whomever he likes.
Do you actually think that 1,000-year-old tortoise would pick him?
-Hello, sir. -Hello!
Hello.
What?
Did he hang up on me?
He needs some manners.
-Hello, sir. -Yes.
"Yes"?
He quit his job?
How is he going to support Youngjae?
That's what I'm saying.
They moved right after the funeral, and he even quit his job.
Don't you think it's strange?
Now that I think about it,
the fact that Myungjoo returned early from her trip was also odd.
Yes, you're right.
It was a trip to relax and celebrate Youngjae being accepted into university,
but she returned early saying she was tired.
Her first vacation in 19 years, on top of that?
Exactly.
Ma'am, Professor Park's family didn't return our pot.
Our pot?
Which one?
I made some kimchi stew with ribs.
We tend to crave kimchi stew the most when we're traveling abroad.
You shouldn't have.
I'm just so grateful to you.
Coach Kim said that she will coordinate Yeseo's application.
All four of us were there, including Professor Cha's wife,
and I felt very anxious.
Anyway, I have nothing to worry about thanks to you.
Myungjoo, I already put in chopped green onions,
so just heat it up when Professor Park gets home later.
I found it.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Mom, please.
It's not something that can be fixed with you stepping in.
"Medicine Love Always Pharmacy"
"Lee Myungjoo 3 tablets, 3 times a day"
December 19th
If it's the 19th then..
What are you talking about? The 19th?
Follow me.
Why? What's wrong?
Myungjoo left for the UK on December 18th, right?
I got an invitation that night, so I clearly remember the date.
So what?
The date written on her medicine bag was December 19th.
Oh, my goodness. What's going on?
Does that mean she never left for the trip?
Judging from the dates, I'm certain that she didn't go.
But why didn't she go?
And why did she act like she went?
She even got us souvenirs, remember?
Yes. It is so disturbing.
And she said she had found something.
Her mother stepping in won't fix any problems?
Did Professor Park cheat on Myungjoo?
No way.
Myungjoo wouldn't have gone on that trip,
if she suspected that her husband was cheating.
She would've done everything she could to find out.
But that doesn't explain why she suddenly committed suicide.
She's not someone who'd just die and leave Youngjae behind.
Then what is it?
What's the real reason?
You want me to live for Youngjae?
You want me to take care of that brat?
If you're having a difficult time, imagine how hard it must be for him.
You need to stay strong.
I should've removed him from my family registry back then.
That's what I should've done.
Then I wouldn't have ended up in a mess like this.
Hold on.
What are you talking about?
Is he even human?
I'm asking you if he's even human?!
After killing his own mother...
...he brazenly showed up at the funeral?
Kill... He killed her?
Are you saying your wife died because of Youngjae?
But Youngjae is such a nice kid. How?
"Nice"?
Sure.
I guess they're nice if they get good grades.
You're nice if you get good grades.
I'm leaving.
No, wait.
Be careful.
Soochang, hold on a moment.
Please call a designated driver for me.
Soochang, are you okay?
Geez. Come to your senses.
Soochang, get to your senses. Get up.
Soochang, what's wrong?
She looked so happy as if she had the entire world in her hands.
Come on outside.
Mom, I need to finish the workbook.
Dad told me to finish it by today.
It's fine.
How can you study on a day like this?
It looks amazing.
It looks like a different world.
See?
Doesn't it look like a winter wonderland?
Princess Elsa must have cast a spell, Mom.
"Princess Elsa must have cast a spell, Mom."
Hey, I'm your older than you.
What was that?
-Just go inside and study. -What the...
-What? Mom, help. -Get over here.
Mom, he keeps making fun of me when I'm older than him.
Kijoon,you shouldn't do that to your older brother.
"Princess Elsa must have cast a spell."
Mom, I didn't say it like that.
I can't believe you're making fun of me too.
Did she cast a spell?
-You better stop. -Come and get me.
Do you still like Elsa that much?
He said Elsa cast a spell.
I'm going to kill you once I catch you.
Throw it away.
No good will come from keeping a dead person's stuff in our house.
She was giving us hard times.
But just because she's dead doesn't mean it's the end.
Do you think Youngjae will turn out well now that his mom is dead?
His road to success is no longer valid.
You already knew, didn't you?
What?
I'm talking about Youngjae and his mom.
What are you talking about?
Were they on good terms?
You should know something since you used to spend time with her.
He gets good grades, he's polite, and he's nice.
That's not all.
He's a filial son that would believe anything his mom told him.
So what problem would there be between them?
Have you heard anything by any chance?
Did they have some problems?
Never mind.
Just mind your own business.
Here are the profiles of Korean, English and Math teachers and GPA instructors.
I added copies of their degrees, career certificates, and IDs.
This teacher is the best teacher in Daechi-dong, Mom.
All the teachers seem very competent.
Those GPA instructors, either graduated from...
...or used to work at Shinah High School, where Yeseo will be attending.
Do you think I could get perfect scores for three whole years?
As long as you don't make any mistakes.
Where will the lessons be taking place?
It'll either be at my office or at the teacher's house.
Of course, Teacher Jo will always come here to pick Yeseo up.
You just need to make sure she stays healthy.
Here's a list of dishes that are good for high school students.
My goodness, you prepared this as well?
Thank you so much, Coach.
May I take a look at Yeseo's room?
The location of the desk is great.
She won't have her back to the door.
I heard having her back to the door...
...could make her feel anxious and lose her concentration.
You also did a good job of placing...
...the main desk and the lamp desk facing the north.
There shouldn't be too much sunlight.
That way, it'll help her concentrate better when she studies.
Yeseo, do you study here often?
Yes, I go in there if I can't seem to concentrate outside.
It feels like a private study room.
That's good.
Ms. Han, please add a school desk inside this room.
That way, she could study in the same environment where she takes her tests.
And please hang a stopwatch on the wall where it can easily be seen.
She needs to check how long it takes for her to answer questions.
I want you to maintain the humidity at 20 to 23 percent at all time.
You should also change this desk lamp.
When she's studying subjects like math and science,
she should study with blue light at around 8,000K.
Subjects that require memorizing should be studied with white light at around 4,000K.
And for creative subjects like music and art,
she should study with a red light at around 2,200K.
Doing that would maximize her learning capacity.
You must get rid of the glass cover on top of the desk immediately.
The cold glass cover might lower her body temperature.
Then she'll have to use energy to increase her body temperature.
Get rid of everything on the wall that's unnecessary...
...and hang one of Mondrian's paintings.
It'll enhance her concentration,
and it'll also help a lot with her brain activity.
I feel so reassured to have you helping me.
Thank you so much.
I'll be meeting you once a week...
...to give you an overall report on how she's doing.
Did you also do this with Myungjoo...
Have you heard about what happened to Myungjoo?
My association with my clients ends as soon as they get accepted.
Of course, that would be the same with Yeseo.
I see.
You didn't know then.
Coach, please eat.
"Park Youngjae"
Have you talked to Sooim?
I called and even left her a text,
but I haven't head back from her.
The top student's mother called, but she didn't answer?
Maybe she's a lot more strict with her kid's education.
I guess she doesn't even feel the need to share information.
I'm really curious about what kind of person she is.
I have big news. It's really big news.
We know you're a big mouth. What's all the fuss about?
President Choi has scouted someone to replace Professor Park.
What? Didn't he say it would be an open recruitment.
Exactly. That's what I thought.
What's more important is that he will not only be getting hired,
as a full time professor but also get to live at Sky Castle.
Who is he?
Did he graduate from John Hopkins or something?
I heard he's a Moojin University Medical School graduate.
Moojin University?
Have you heard of that school?
I don't think so.
I think it's a medical school located somewhere in the countryside.
What's more surprising is that...
...he has nothing to do with his schoolmates, acquaintances or family.
He has no connections whatsoever. Zero.
Why would he hire someone like that?
Because he favors him.
He must have hired him because he favors him.
Does it make any sense?
There are so many professors who are dying to live at Sky Castle.
Why does he favor a guy that graduated... a medical school in the suburbs?
What's so important about which school he graduated from?
A doctor should truly care about their patients.
They should be responsible and have great surgical skills.
Well, those kinds of things are probably more important.
These days, profit is considered more important than lives...
My goodness.
This teacup brand is 260 years old, isn't it?
Seojin is a maniac for luxury brand items.
Just like me.
I'm not a maniac.
They used to belong to my mom. She gave them to me.
Your mom really has amazing taste.
My mom thinks the best kind of dishes are the ones that don't break.
I'd love to meet your mom one day.
Does she have plans to visit Korea?
She might visit if my brother decides to come back.
She's devoted to her son way too much.
Does your brother also live in Sydney?
He's a dentist.
A dentist.
Yeseo isn't the top student because she only takes after her dad.
Her grandfather used to be the president of a mortgage bank in Sydney.
Her uncle is a dentist.
And her mom got a bachelor's degree in Education from Sydney University.
You have such selfish genes.
-Awesome. -Son.
Are we still in Korea?
We get to live in luxury thanks to your dad. Right?
You're the one who gets to live in luxury.
My school is far from here.
This brat.
You dare talk back to me?
Okay, okay, I surrender.
"Republic by Plato" I find this part the funniest.
The ruling class...
...had to share their kids, wives, and assets.
If that were the case, who do you think would be at disadvantage among us?
Will you stop talking nonsense?
We need to write a review this time.
Darn it.
I didn't even do this when I was in school.
Oh my.
They must be moving into Youngjae's place.
Isn't that the doctor the hospital president hired?
I wonder if they know...
...that someone died in that house.
It's not a nice topic.
Don't you ever mention it.
If I were them, I wouldn't live there even if it were free.
-Stop it. -Okay, fine.
I wouldn't say it to their face.
My, oh my.
Did they own a nursery or something?
Why do they have so many potted plants?
Honey, you want some coffee?
Thank you.
You're working too hard.
You're almost done with unpacking.
Yes. I just need my plants.
You're your mom's son. He likes plants as much as you do.
It provides oxygen and sucks up fine dust.
It's like killing two birds with one stone, Dad.
Your dad doesn't understand why it's so good. Right?
Right.
I found this on the floor.
It must be the previous owner's.
We're almost done.
Please take these potted plants upstairs.
-All these? -Yes.
-Let's do it. -Okay.
-Hurry up, please -We're almost done.
What should we have for lunch today?
Shall we order in?
Having jjajangmyeon is a moving day tradition. What do you think, son?
Sounds good.
Perfect.
-Hello. -Hello.
"Neurosurgery, Professor Park Soochang"
"Neurosurgery, Professor Hwang Chiyoung"
"Neurosurgery, Professor Park Soochang"
"Neurosurgery, Professor Hwang Chiyoung"
Is he even human?
I'm asking you if he's even human?!
After killing his own mother...
...he brazenly showed up at the funeral?.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Hwang Chiyoung.
"Hwang Chiyoung"
I'm Kang Joonsang from the Orthopedics Department.
It's my first day here.
Nice to meet you.
Please, excuse my intrusion.
This used to be my senior's office.
No, no, it's fine.
You can visit whenever you want.
Let me introduce Professor Hwang Chiyoung.
"Hwang Chiyoung Appointment Ceremony"
Nice to meet you all.
I'm Hwang Chiyoung from the Neurosurgery Department.
I studied at Moojin University Medical School.
I also completed my residency there.
Moojin University Medical School?
-What university? -Is it a virtual one?
I'll do my best. I hope we can all get along.
"Hwang Chiyoung Appointment Ceremony"
Okay then.
I met Professor Hwang eight years ago...
...while I was trekking in the Himalayas.
It was pure coincidence.
A porter had fallen down a hill and hurt his back.
Professor Hwang treated him like family,
and I was immensely impressed and touched.
I found out later that he's a great doctor who, for 10 years,
had been volunteering to provide medical care in Kathmandu and ﻿Marpha.
You chose him for his humanitarian efforts?
He's also an expert in spine surgery...
... who received the Best Paper Award...
....from the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
I believe our future Spine and Joint Center...
...is in need of a talent like him.
-So I invited him over. -He's needed?
Right...
Does anyone have any questions?
Please feel free to ask me, if you have any.
Go ahead.
Don't keep looking to your left.
Professor. The president's looking at you.
-What? -The president. The president.
Yes?
M..
Me?
Yes.
Professor Woo Yangwoo.
Do you have any questions?
To ask this '1,000-year-old tortoise'?
What should I do? What should I do?
Chief Kang, I totally got on his bad side, didn't I?
President Choi tends to hold a grudge for ages.
What should I do? I can't get fired.
Chief...
He hates our department already.
He won't...
...make Hwang Chiyoung director of the Spine and Joint Center, will he?
Do you think he's stupid?
He won't do something that risky.
I guess not.
He's someone who has pride.
He revealed that he studied at Moojin University Medical School.
He seems to be skilled too.
The Best Paper Award?
But then gain, there are those who write amazing papers...
...but are terrible with surgeries.
By the way...
...what do you think the tortoise is trying to hide?
We'll find that out in due time.
Hello.
We just moved in down the street.
I see.
Here's some rice cake.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
Aren't you...
Mihyang?
Kwak Mihyang.
It's you, isn't it?
It's me, Sooim.
Lee Sooim.
Lee Sooim from Eden Orphanage.
Don't you recognize me?
I think you mistook me for someone else.
My name is Han Seojin.
Oh my gosh.
I'm sorry.
You look similar to my childhood friend.
Who is it?
You must be the one who moved in recently.
Yes, hello.
I'm Lee Sooim.
Here. Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
Please, take one.
Nice to meet you.
I haven't received rice cakes from a new neighbor in so long.
Thank you very much.
I live over there. My name is Noh Seunghye.
I see.
When all of you are free,
how about you come over to my place for lunch?
-Pardon me? -I'm not a good cook,
so I'm not confident to throw a proper housewarming party.
But I thought we could get to know each other over a simple meal.
Even tomorrow works for me if you're all free.
That'd be great.
Well, it's fine with me too.
I don't think I can make it. I have plans for tomorrow.
Seojin, you have to be there.
I have to meet up with Yebin's classmates' moms.
That's fine.
It can just be between those who can make it tomorrow.
Then, I'll see you tomorrow at my house around noon.
-All right. -Okay.
See you.
-Bye. -Bye.
Oh, my goodness.
Did you see the grime under her fingernails?
And she handed this with that hand.
That doesn't mean she's unclean.
It's just dirt from from the soil. It's typical for people who work with plants.
I don't think it's right...
....to view someone's kind intention like that.
"I don't think it's right."
She can be pretty obnoxious at times, don't you think?
Mihyang!
You brat, your father is talking to you. Are you deaf or what?
Take this ox blood to that wench you call mom.
What are you looking at?
-Let me see. -That girl...
Isn't she Mihyang?
-It is her. -No, it's not her.
-It's her. -It is Mihyang.
Look, it is her.
-Oh, you're right. -What happened to her?
-My gosh, I'm scared. -Hey, what's on her shoes?
-What is she holding? -I think it's blood.
That's right.
You are Han Seojin now. Han Seojin.
You're not Kwak Mihyang, the daughter of the alcoholic,
who used to sell tripe, ox blood, and bones at the market.
You are Han Seojin now.
Your husband is an Orthopedics professor at a university hospital.
Your daughter is the top student at her school.
All woman in the world would be jealous of you.
You are Han Seojin.
Han. Seo. Jin.
My gosh.
What? Are you jealous?
Goodness, Yeseo's photo is heavily edited.
My gosh, you sure have a sharp eye.
That stuck-up girl obviously had to get it done.
"Shinah High School Candidate, 1st Kang Yeseo, 2nd Kim Hyena"
Why isn't that stuck-up coming here anymore?
Does she go to a different cram school?
Why are you asking me? Ask her directly.
Yeseo has a coach now.
A coach? Doesn't your mom take care of everything for her?
It must be a special coach.
You heard it from the idiot, so don't go lying saying I spilled the beans.
If that stuck-up loses it, I'm the one who'll suffer, not you.
Yebin, wait for me.
If he gets a gold medal at the Olympiad, it'll guarantee him...
...an entry into a science high school, right?
A silver medal is doable if he studies very hard,
but a gold medal is on another level.
Also, make sure Soohan's grades are good.
This is driving me crazy.
Why does my husband insist on sending Soohan to a science high school?
Isn't a private school better for getting into medical school?
He's trying to give the best for his one and only son.
He's just being greedy.
At least he's honest about his greed.
He's better than my husband who's greedy...
...but always criticizing everything I do.
Well, that's true.
Right...
What's the plan you said you have for tomorrow?
Don't tell me, you're secretly going somewhere to obtain valuable information?
No, it's nothing like that.
Seojin, isn't that woman really something?
Who gives out rice cakes like that? She has no class.
On top of that, it's in a plastic bag without a plate.
It shows her low standards.
Yes, that was pretty bad.
Anyway, when I meet her tomorrow,
I'll probe about her family background,
and see if she's qualified to join our community.
-I'll vet her. -You'll vet her?
Seunghye's dad was the Army Chief of Staff,
and your dad was the president of a bank.
My dad owns buildings in Gangnam. If I say all that, she'll spill it to me.
If she's from a good family, that is.
Gosh, what's taking the kids so long?
Are they eating spicy tteokbokki again?
-Seojin, I'll go check. -Okay, all right.
These brats.
My plan got canceled at the last minute. So I thought I should join.
That's great.
Please, come in.
Come on in.
Hi, Seojin.
I thought you had plans.
She said it got canceled. Great coincidence, isn't it?
I felt like we should celebrate our first gathering.
Since we're having lunch together, this will be better than soju.
Thank you.
I must say, your house looks nice with all the plants.
They make the house feel lively, don't they?
Looks like she used to be a landscape architect.
Her garden also looks amazing.
Isn't he so handsome?
He's a doctor, and yet he looks like an actor.
Her son is good-looking too.
Oh my.
Did you grow these vegetables yourself?
Yes, of course.
They're 100 percent organic.
Should I pack some for you?
-Would that really be okay? -Of course.
Right.
I also made ox blood soup. Would you like some?
My father used to love ox blood soup.
It's been a while since, so I should eat some
What about you two?
I'll pass.
Me too.
I may not be very good at cooking but I make a delicious ox blood soup.
The whole family loves ox blood soup.
I guess you don't like fancy dishes.
When other families eat beef bone soup,
we always eat ox blood soup.
By the way,
how did you and your husband meet?
We grew up together in an orphanage.
An orphanage?
What?
There's a slaughterhouse in my hometown.
I got the ox blood from a market near there,
so it's very fresh.
-Thanks for the food. -Enjoy.
Oh, right.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I had a friend named Kwak Mihyang,
We grew up in the same neighborhood.
But I lost touch with her after we graduated high school.
What a cheesy name.
It's nice to meet you all.
-This wine is so delicious. -Yes.
The aroma of the wine is overpowered by the floral scent.
How can you be so good at caring for flowers?
They're all so beautiful.
My mother loved flowers and plants so much.
I grew up watching her caring for them.
Your mother?
Didn't you say you grew up in an orphanage?
My parents ran an orphanage.
Until around the time I entered elementary school,
I didn't even know that they were my real parents.
My gosh.
That means they looked after the orphans like their own children.
Both of my parents passed away last year...
...and my son, Woojoo, said...
...his grandparents must be resting in paradise now.
Woojoo?
The boy who got accepted into Shinah High School as the top student?
How did you know?
My goodness, this is unbelievable.
How can you guys end up meeting like this?
Seojin kept texting and calling you.
She's Yeseo's mom.
Don't you remember?
I'm sorry.
I normally block all the calls from other students' mothers.
-You block them? -Why?
I find myself getting anxious if I spend too much time with them.
And they make me feel as if I should make Woojoo do this and that.
When Woojoo was in seventh grade,
I let him take private math lessons because he wanted to.
But I never made him do anything else.
I get convinced really easily,
so I thought it'd be best not to meet anyone.
She's unbelievably naive.
-Pardon? -So?
-Are you staying here longer? -No, I should go.
I need to pick up Soohan.
-Thank you for lunch. -Thank you.
But...
Gosh, this is quite complicated.
I'm glad to meet you...
...but I'm worried about you as well.
Her son got accepted to Shinah High School,
as the top student without getting any private lessons?
How could she be rude enough to bluntly say she blocked my texts?
Exactly!
She invited all of us and served us ox blood soup.
She's looking down on everyone who pays for their kids' private lessons.
There's nothing we can say about that though.
Her son still managed to get accepted as the top student without all that.
Wait up!
Wait...
Here.
I packed you some lettuce and butterbur.
Thank you. I'll enjoy them.
By the way, I think the person who used to live here left this behind.
That's mine.
-Sorry? -I lent this to the previous owner.
What?
He never got any private lessons other than for math?
Woojoo may have been successful in studying all by himself.
But he can't achieve the same results...
...as someone who gets through the challenges...
...with the help of a professional guide and cook.
You know what Yeseo got for her scholastic assessment test, right?
She got A's for all her subjects.
But Woojoo got B's for math and sociology.
He got B's?
My gosh, how did you know?
In order to manage Yeseo's grades,
I need to know her competitor's grades as well.
Mrs. Han,
you must have faith in me.
Having faith in me means you should not be scared...
...regardless of whatever happens and you must...
...expect only the best results from your daughter.
Okay, Coach Kim.
I have faith in you.
Let me repeat myself.
You need to fully entrust me with Yeseo's grades.
Your only job is...
...to take good care of her health.
Yeseo, it's time to go to your private lesson.
I'm tired.
I'm sure you are.
Here, drink this. Drink the whole thing.
By the way, remember the boy named Woojoo?
He moved into Youngjae's old house.
Does that mean his dad's also a doctor?
He's a neurosurgeon.
He's a replacement for Youngjae's dad.
By the way, Mom.
I texted Youngjae.
-You texted Youngjae? -The thing is,
Teacher Jo told me that Youngjae was really good at taking notes.
It made me curious.
So I texted him and asked if I could see his notes.
But it turns out,
he turned off his phone, and he even deleted all of his social media accounts.
He must have been traumatized.
He probably doesn't want to talk to anyone that knows about the incident.
It's so annoying.
The rumors must have spread everywhere.
Do you know what Kim Hyena said?
"What's the point of living in a fancy neighborhood,"
"when people end up dying there?"
Kim Hyena?
The kid that lives with her single mother?
She only said that because she's jealous.
She's saying that out of jealousy, so don't mind her.
You just need to keep doing what you're doing now.
Then I'll get accepted to SNU's Medical School, right?
I'm going to get accepted and make Grandma speechless.
My gosh, don't say stuff like that.
I know you like hearing it.
Yes, I do.
Professor Woo did that?
What's gotten into him?
I guess he feels pressured now that Soohan's entering middle school.
He says he wants to show his commitment.
My gosh, that's nice of him.
You should compliment him.
Not a lot of dads are willing to go pick their kids up late at night.
You should get going.
Can you text me right before you get there?
Yebin gets upset that I only favor her sister.
Okay, thank you.
It's been a while. I should watch a movie.
Where did it all go?
Did I delete it?
"June 10th -I want to die. I wish they would just kill me instead"
What's this?
"June 10th - I want to die. I wish they would just kill me instead"
"June 13th - Gaeul is the only decent person in Sky Castle"
"June 17th - Today, I searched for ways to commit suicide on the web"
"Which method would make them suffer the most?"
I wonder why mom gave birth to me.
She shouldn't have had me if she was going to curse at me and beat me.
She said I'm a failure for not winning an award at KMO.
What sins have I committed in my past life to be born in this kind of family?
That damned perfect score. That's all they ever talk about.
I wonder if they'll feel relieved if I die.
I really just want to get a knife...
...and cut myself.
I'm going to get out of this house no matter what.
Let's study like crazy until then.
Let's study. Let's get it done. Let's give them what they want.
That way...
...I'll be able to get my revenge.
What?
Revenge?
They say they love me?
They should have been frank and say they need something to brag about.
Three generations of doctors?
They treat Gaeul like a pest because she's not well-educated.
How could he still call himself a doctor?
Having parents like them...
...makes me feel disgusted.
Honey, are you inside?
What happened?
Why didn't you go on the trip?
You always said you wanted to go on a cruise tour.
How can you call yourself a father?
It's been 10 days since our son went on a trip,
but you haven't even called him once.
Did something happen to Youngjae?
"Did something happen?"
That's all you have to say?!
I called you.
I paid a lot of money for that cruise tour.
-So why would you... -Your son, Park Youngjae...
...says he's going to cut ties with us.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Look.
Look at this!
You should see what your son has been thinking all these time.
Take a good look at this.
I showered him with so much tender loving care.
He's my raison d'être.
But how could he...
I do not want to live in misery anymore.
Because living as your son...
...was hell.
"May 10th - Exam results will be out soon"
"Pretty sure the house is going to be flipped over"
Youngjae!
Park Youngjae!
Youngjae!
Where are you, you brat?!
You know where he is, don't you?
I know you met him. Spill.
It's all your fault.
If only you hadn't beaten him up...
You were the one who always nags at me to do something about him.
You're blaming me again.
It's my fault like always.
I'm to blame for all the bad stuff, aren't I?
Who was the one that brought in that Gaeul wench in the first place?
Who do you think is responsible for him acting like a horny pig?!
I guess he takes after his father! All you ever did was cheat on me!
You're his mom. How can you not know what was going on in his head?
Is he even worth to be called my son?!
I'll kill that bastard and pay the price.
Hello, Mr. Park.
Gather up your minions now and find a bastard for me.
Yes.
I said yes!
You can even beat him till he's half dead so...
He said he wants revenge.
Revenge.
You're telling me to let that son of a bitch live?
Yes!
Leave him alone.
Then he'll come back.
If he's determined to hide himself, we'll never find him.
I can't give up on Youngjae.
I can't give up on my son.
I thought it would all work out.
That morning...
...I had no idea that was our goodbye.
I leave on a trip today too.
We won't meet for another two months.
You're just going to leave without saying goodbye?
I thought you were still asleep.
So that day...
...he hugged me tightly for a reason.
Even though he's obedient and always did as he was told...
...he is a kid without much affection.
But that day...
...he hugged me so tightly.
So I thought he'd loosened up because he'd gotten into college.
I thought that...
...everything would be okay.
I can't reach him.
He left this morning saying he's going on a trip to Europe...
...but there's no flight reservation.
He even turned off his phone. Where could that brat be?
Please find him for me. Okay?
"East Seoul"
Before he turned off his phone, the last location we tracked...
...was at Sinan County in Jeollanam-do.
Sinan County?
Sinan County, you say?
Gaeul?
Please find out Lee Gaeul's address.
Lee Gaeul's current address is in Amtae Island, Sinan.
Gaeul, you bitch.
Just you wait.
Why not?
Stop it.
I said stop it.
You witch. You tramp.
I would love to just chew you out.
-Don't. I said don't! -Hey.
You seduced him when he was in middle school...
-and now you're at it again! -I said stop!
We took you in when you were homeless,
and this is how you pay us back for feeding, clothing and educating you?
Did she eat for free?
She did the laundry and cleaning since I was three!
Do you know how miserable I am because of you?
How dare you lust after someone who's not your equal?
Why did you hit her?
Who are you to hit her?
What rights do you have to hit her?
-Youngjae. -Since I was seven...
...I studied every single day, without taking a day off.
Even when I got sick, hurt, or passed out...
...you still made me attend cram school until 2AM.
Did you or did you not say I didn't deserve to eat unless I came in first?
Did you or did you not tell me to leave home and die if my grades dropped?
That miserable life!
I wouldn't have survived it if it weren't for Gaeul.
But you got into SNU. So it paid off, isn't it?
Do you think I did those things because I wanted to?
-It was all for your success... -For my "success"?
You did that for my sake?
I guess you didn't read it.
I purposely left it unlocked so that you would.
-You unlocked what? -Go back home and read it.
I wrote it all down in the tablet I left in my desk drawer.
No. We're done talking.
Let's go. You're coming home with me.
I got into SNU like you wanted me to! What else do you want?
You said it's your wish.
I'm going to live my own life from now on.
The life I want to live.
So what?
Are you saying you're going to live in the middle of nowhere with her?
Is this the life you want?
How I live...
...and what I'll do for a living, I'll think about it now.
What's clear is...
...you and Dad are the one who wanted me to study medicine.
That's not what I wanted.
What's even clearer...!
I don't want to live as your son anymore.
What?
What did you say?
Hey!
Are you saying...
...you'll cut ties with your family?
-Against all morals? -That's why I stayed for 19 years.
Whether you disciplined me...
...or reared me. It doesn't change the fact that you raised me.
But...!
I do not want to live in misery anymore.
Because living as your son...
...was hell.
Please leave.
Leave...
...and don't ever look for me ever again.
Youngjae.
I didn't know he remembered that my hometown is in Sinan.
If Youngjae wants to leave, I have no plans to hold on to him.
So please don't worry.
Youngjae.
Where is Youngjae?
Youngjae.
Youngjae!
Youngjae.
Over here. Dig here.
Youngjae.
We did it all wrong.
Both you and I...
...have failed as parents.
Hello?
Excuse me, is Youngjae...
Please put my son, Park Youngjae, on the phone.
Youngjae! Youngjae!
He must be with that wench, Gaeul.
They both quit working here.
They left the island yesterday evening.
They left?
To where? Where did they go?
How am I supposed to know?
What does this crazy woman want at this hour?
I do not want to live in misery anymore.
Because living as your son...
...was hell.
"Love one another. As I have loved you,"
"so you must love one another -John 13:34-35"
"August 29th - You should've just killed me"
Mrs. Han.
What brings you here at this hour?
"SKY Castle"
Teacher Jo, what we did was for our clients' best interests.
We're college admission experts.
It's not our job to teach or guide students.
Just because you're called a teacher,
don't delude yourself into thinking that you are a teacher.
I have to get As, Mom.
You trust me, right?
Am I below Coach Kim?
About the family that used to live at your place...
...I bet you don't know why they moved.
Can you tell me about the people who used to live at my place?
The women here are very competitive when it comes to their children's education.
Is that what the children really want?
What does that mean?
Don't be like a stuffy old woman.
Sooim, you probably now know what you have stirred up here.
