Original subtitles

[Episode 5]

Hello.

I performed today and received

a lot of applauses.

It would have been nice

if you were here.

If you couldn't contact me

because you felt bad,

it's alright. I understand.

Korea's star...

Lee Aerin.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I'm sorry for sneaking in.

Director Son is going to find out.

You should explain.

I told you to stay away from

Seo Jeongeun.

I told you not to let her audition.

When did you know her?

In middle school.

I'm the one who videotaped that.

I hadn't seen her in 10 years.

She asked me to convert the VHS

into a CD for her, so I did.

I didn't know she'd upload it.

She did this?

She fainted when she saw

the video she uploaded?

No way.

She doesn't think.

She's like that.

I'm sure she got scared when

she realized what she did.

She's really Lee Aerin's daughter?

I don't know.

What's that supposed to mean?

She found a picture and

she said it was her mom.

She said she was going to become

an actress and find her mom.

Nobody believed her.

If she's really her daughter...

I feel so sorry for her.

Her mom was right in front of her.

She told me she asked her several times.

But that woman denied it every time.

Still, how can she do such a thing?

Are you busy? I arrived.

Is it Jeongeun?

I don't want her to know about us.

I don't know what she'll do.

Do you want something to drink?

He's the one who wanted to meet.

Hi, Yugyeong.

I'm sorry.

I didn't get a chance to give it to you.

Right now?

Yes, bring it now.

I'm supposed to meet director Lee.

You know what?

He remembered.

He said he'd buy me noodles.

I've been waiting for 30 minutes.

He can't go.

Something came up at work.

Yeongjo.

Suchang, what's going on?

Lee Aerin is making a statement.

About the video...

I'm going to let the security team

take over.

Just let it go.

What? We can catch the culprit.

Just let it go and don't tell anyone.

What was that?

Do you want something to drink?

Sure.

Let me give you the contract

before I forget.

I sealed this and I have copies

of my ID and bank account book.

Do you know what my residential

ID number is?

How should I know?

Look.

2072037.

You don't recognize it?

It's your beeper number.

Don't you remember?

I got rid of that a long time ago.

I know, but I dialed it once in a while.

I could never forget that number.

Sit down.

I want to talk to you.

What is it?

Director Lee found out.

I know. He remembered who I am.

He saw the original video.

What are you talking about?

You said nobody would find out.

Hello, I'm Choi Jongdal,

the president of Heaju Pictures.

I'm here in place of Lee Aerin.

This is a statement written by her.

I'll read it to you.

With regard to the unpleasant rumor,

I, Lee Aerin...

You blamed me?

I'm her daughter and I leaked

the article and uploaded the video?

You're crazy, right?

It happened so quickly.

That's all I could think of.

You call yourself human?

How did he find out?

You said nobody would know

unless they saw the original.

By chance.

He came because of work and saw it.

Nobody else knows.

How could you?

You know how I feel about him.

How could you do this to me?

He's just a nice guy to you,

but he's my superior.

He'll let it go if you did it.

If he finds out I did it, I'll be fired

and legal measures will be taken.

He's nice to you.

He'll just cover it up.

He won't see me as a decent person.

He'll think I'm crazy.

No, I won't do this.

I won't agree to this.

I'm going to call him right now.

I'm pregnant.

What?

He's a really good man.

I could never have someone like him.

I gave up on marriage.

But, I'm pregnant.

I don't want to lose this chance.

I really want him.

What does that have to do

with blaming me for all this?

I want to get married.

I don't want to have any faults.

Don't you understand?

I want to be happy.

Then confess.

You want to spend the rest of your

life with him and start with a lie?

How can I explain

I'm Lee Aerin's daughter?

He thinks my family is in New Zealand.

How can I tell him?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

But this is the only way for me.

Let's go.

Where?

To your mom.

It would have been nice if

Lee Aerin was my mom.

I wished for that so much.

Let's see if you can blame me

for all this in front of her.

I take full moral responsibility

and am retiring.

I'd like to thank all my fans

and say goodbye. Lee Aerin.

Are you ready?

You're the one who's performing

the surgery.

I just have to lie down and sleep.

You should have come sooner.

You'll need chemotherapy now.

I'll lose all my hair.

It's alright.

I won't be acting anymore.

She ran away.

That's what she's like.

Her daughter showed up, but she ran.

I wanted to tell her.

I asked her if she wanted to see her

daughter. Do you know what she said?

She said no.

She said she had cancer.

I asked who my father was.

She said she didn't remember.

She abandoned me because

she hated what my father did to her.

I hate her, too.

Lee Aerin was loved for 20 years,

but she shocked everyone by retiring.

She was known to be single, but a video

exposing her daughter appeared.

Lee Aerin was filming the movie,

"To My Lovely Daughter".

Honey! Honey!

Did you see the news? Aerin retired.

I have to make a delivery.

Where is Hakgu? I'm busy.

Forget about the delivery.

She's missing.

She wasn't at home.

Can you believe it?

She doesn't have any money left.

What do you think she did with it?

I'm suspicious of Choi Jongdal.

You're her brother.

Shouldn't you go and ask?

It's been over 25 years since she left.

Don't you want to see her?

I saw her once 10 years ago.

She came here.

She did? Here?

What? Investment fraud?

Do you know Park Hansu?

Lee Yeongjo's brother.

Yes, Gyesun's son.

The real conman took off.

Park Hansu is going to take the fall.

He was conned for hundreds of thousands.

The victims want to see chairman Lee.

What should I do?

Show them in.

What?

Where?

Send them up to his office. Now!

Okay.

The heavens are helping me.

Yeongjo, what will you do?

Yeongjo, what will you do?

Your other brother, Park Hansu...

He got into some trouble.

Calm down.

I'll take you to the chairman's office.

Traitor.

I trusted you. How could you?

You trusted me? You call this trust?

You're doubting me.

Stop lying!

If you're going to trust me,

trust me no matter what.

Are you testing me?

Yes.

Trust me even if I stab you to death.

I trusted you.

Did a deacon write this?

All this talk about trust.

They're nice lines.

What's wrong with you?

Forget about the movie.

You have nothing to worry about.

You can do commercials.

It would feel awful to be betrayed, huh?

Do you know I spent your money?

I guess not.

Those facial coupons.

The director gave me a refund.

You received $10,000?

Where is it?

What's the use of keeping it

under a pillow?

I reinvested it on Hansu.

Wasn't it enough to be conned once?

It's the real thing this time.

I went to the investment meeting.

Just die, die, die!

Is Yang Miryeon here?

Yang Miryeon.

That must be a delivery.

Coming.

Yang Miryeon?

Yes.

You've been reported for committing fraud.

You'll have to come with us.

What? Fraud?

Why do you keep denying it?

I'm telling you I'm a victim.

We have proof.

I lost all my friend's money and

the deposit on our place.

Park Hansu! He conned us.

Sit down.

You said you were the leading

actress of the movie.

It's not fair.

Mr. Min used me.

So, is your brother the president

of Heaju Pictures?

I didn't say he was.

I said he would be.

This is a secret,

but my brother's brother is

the chairman of the Heaju Group.

That's not true.

His grandfather has a store

at the market.

He has tens of thousands of employees.

Lee Yeongjo is from a rich family.

What?

You'll be sent

to the prosecutor's office.

The chairman of Heaju Holdings

sued the both of you for defamation.

Defamation?

You told the investors Lee Yeongguk

would distribute the movie.

Do you think they'll let you do that?

You're close with Lee Yeongjo, right?

Help me.

Hi, Jeongeun.

I was thinking the weather

is nice and you appeared.

Are you going to rehearse?

No, Mr. Choi Jongdal...

You want to see the president?

No, chairman Lee Yeongguk...

The 14th floor?

Why do you want to see them?

You want the law to handle it?

I'm sorry for all the trouble.

The investor will quiet down

if you compensate.

Your brother will be released, too.

You don't have to do that.

Yeah?

Okay.

Tell your mom.

I wouldn't have stopped him if I knew.

I'm sorry.

He'll wake up if he spends

some time in prison.

Don't do anything.

I won't.

Don't go easy on him.

This is no time to be like that.

Your son is going to prison.

This soup is nice.

Do you want a drink?

How dare you come here?

How brazen.

You came to see the chairman

of the Heaju Group?

What can I do?

My friend was arrested.

She's going to be prosecuted.

It's not just my friend.

Your brother was arrested, too.

How can you be so cold?

Then?

You want me to compensate?

You have a lot of money.

He's your family.

How can you mention family to me?

The movie we filmed is ruined

because of what you did.

An actress with 25 years of experience

was ruined.

Should I report you, too?

How will you compensate for that?

I don't believe this.

Where did that little kid go?

You said there were a lot of things you

wanted to do when you found your mom.

Listen carefully.

Don't ever show up here again.

Not as long as I'm here.

If I ever catch you around here,

I'll tell everyone what you did.

Lighting and film are a waste

for someone like you.

You don't qualify to be an actress.

I think I should quit.

Why?

I think planning is better for me

than working on site.

I have a story I'm working on.

I want to enter it in a contest.

Do you feel burdened about

dating secretly?

That, too.

Actually, I'm...

What?

Nothing.

I heard about your brother.

You must be worried.

It has nothing to do with me.

What was your father like?

I don't know.

He was probably a weak romantic.

I won't live like him.

So, that's why you pretend

to be so tough.

Yeah?

I like it either way.

If you can't ignore them and lose

all your money, that's fine with me.

I thought you had ambitions.

I have talent, too.

You do?

Yes, you do.

That's not funny.

I'm sorry.

I'm not that funny.

You still have a slight fever.

Are you sure you're alright?

I have something to tell you.

You've been stalling.

What is it?

Hold on.

It's mother.

Answer it.

We can talk tomorrow.

Bye.

Hello?

Who is this?

I'm a friend of your mom's.

You saw me at the bar.

We have to drink more.

Get in.

I'm sending her home.

Will you pay the driver?

Do you know where she lives?

You call yourself a son?

Did you ever put yourself

in her shoes?

She carried you for 10 months.

Who do you think is in more pain?

The mother or the child?

She's a regular customer.

I guess her son isn't here today.

Thank you.

You liked money more than your son.

You should live a better life.

Is this the best you can do?

I'm like a bug to you, huh?

Do you know how strong a bug is?

I'll show you what a bug can do.

Hello?

Can you tell me director Lee's address?

I'm trying to send him something.

Over there.

How can a person be so brazen?

Aren't you embarrassed of

what you did?

Why did you come here?

What do you want?

I'm rebelling, why?

What?

I want an audition.

This is the penthouse?

How big is it?

You could pay all the investors

and still buy an apartment.

No, you're rich.

I'm sure you have more.

You must have stocks, land and

cottages around the world.

You have a yacht and

an airplane, too, right?

Where is the Picasso?

Are all the expensive watches

in that room?

Is that the best you can do

to act like a drunk?

I sobered up because I waited too long.

Do you have any liquor?

Oh, I'm supposed to act.

This is water.

I'm drinking liquor.

How long are you going to

make me do this?

The orchard outside the village.

Shot.

The acacia are in bloom. Shot.

Traitor.

I trusted you.

How could you do this to me?

You trusted me?

You call this trust?

You're doubting me.

You should trust me

no matter what anyone says.

Trust me even if I stab you to death!

That's enough.

You fail.

Leave.

I can forgive Yang Miryeon and

Park Hansu, but I can't forgive you.

Do you hate me that much?

I guess so.

I must be so disgusting.

If I was a good person,

why would I need an angel?

What?

You were my guardian angel.

Do angels discriminate?

Does an angel only help

pretty and nice kids?

A thorn bush doesn't hide its thorns.

It just pricks.

There are birds that sit on them

knowing they'll be pricked.

Can't you be like that?

Why should I?

Because you're my angel.

I waited every day for 10 years.

No matter how bad I am,

no matter how awful your brother is,

no matter how disappointed you are

with your mom, can't you accept it?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Granny always said our hearts were

full of thorns when we were bad.

When you cry, bad seeds are sown

and they become thorns?

You cried for an hour.

The thorns must be trees now.

You were there for an hour?

Then it can't be.

I had a guardian angel.

What?

My guardian angel got rid of

all the thorns in my heart.

Thanks.

Wait a little while.

I'll come up with money

to pay for the rent on your place.

It's already been leased.

We have to move out tomorrow.

I'm glad.

I'm never coming back

to Seoul again.

Let's never meet again, okay?

Taxi.

We don't have to meet again,

but at least drop me off at home.

I was sleeping when they came.

I don't have my wallet.

It must be nice to have cab fare!

Why is Kim Gyesun living like that?

Did you see the house?

We're broke.

The beauty salon?

It's owned by someone else.

We're broke because she can't keep up

with all the money she spends.

She's the mother of a rich son.

She should look it.

Was it your fault, bro?

Oh, no, no.

Mom gets into just as much trouble

when it comes to money.

Did you just call me bro?

What you paid for compensation,

it's nothing.

I'm not even grateful.

You used to come and ask for money.

Why do you do that to me?

You sure ask really soon.

The money you have.

It's the price of my sacrifice.

What sacrifice?

My happiness.

I was the happiest kid in the world

until I was seven.

I had the coolest dad, nicest mom

and cute brother.

Do you know what English word

father taught me first?

Brother.

It was bad enough that he died,

but one day, you disappeared.

I searched the whole neighborhood

for you.

I cried much more than when

father died.

Why? Because we're brothers.

When father died, he made me

promise to take good care of you.

But, you disappeared.

Mom was ruined since then

and I was abused for no reason.

I found out after a long time.

Father wasn't my real father.

My brother who disappeared

was living in another house.

How do you think I felt?

We were poor, but your house

was like a castle.

You didn't even know you had

a brother and a mom.

How do you think I felt?

I just got up.

How did I get home?

What?

Are you crazy?

Why did you call him?

He should be mean to the end.

He's so weak.

How did you get out?

Wow, look at this place.

Did you clean up?

Did Yeongjo get you out?

Perhaps. Oops.

Mom, I had $1, so I bought tofu.

You know I can't eat raw tofu.

Will you fry it for me?

Let's just die.

What will Yeongjo do now?

I heard you sold your stocks

to compensate the victims.

I don't have to show you

the will again, do I?

No, I'll give everything up.

Fool.

I was stubborn.

I'll call you my older brother from now on.

You hated me, but I wanted to

be like you.

But, I guess I'm more like

my other brother.

It was hard coming up with a title.

Paper boat.

Who would...

Oh, no, no, no.

Hi.

Yeongjo.

Do you have good news?

He's making a new movie.

That's good.

Thinking about the past will

just make me mad.

I have to forget it.

Heaju Pictures is going to invest a lot,

so we'll count on that.

Do a good job for us.

I quit.

Why?

What are you talking about?

I heard the rumors.

Did you lose the power struggle?

Something like that.

I wanted to say goodbye

and pack my things.

Hold on.

We can't say goodbye like this.

Come and be a freelancer

even if I can't pay you a lot.

I'll think about it.

You should work with us.

You don't have anywhere else to go.

Am I the manager now?

Stop being such a fool.

You'll have to resign then.

Why isn't she coming?

Who?

The leading actress of the next movie,

Seo Jeongeun.

No way.

She's the leading actress?

You shouldn't have spent so much money.

You told me to!

It's my part.

Why is Seo Jeongeun getting my part?

No! Just settle it.

Don't ever show up here again.

Not as long as I'm here.

If you show up,

I'll tell everyone what you did.

Lighting and film are a waste

for someone like you.

You don't qualify to be an actress.

I don't want to do this.

What? You don't want to do what?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

You seem to be mistaken.

You're in no position to choose

what you want to do.

You should just do what you're given.

Are you scared?

It will take a year before

we start filming.

I'm sorry.

This isn't like you.

This is a great opportunity.

Just go.

Go!

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

If you insist on being stubborn,

I'll destroy the contract.

Just cancel my contract.

Are you kidding?

Won't the shampoo model fees

cover the costs you spent on me?

You can't go anywhere else.

You'll have to pay a fine.

I'm not going anywhere else.

I'm not going to act.

Oh, boy.

Did you find a rich sponsor?

How can you say that?

Give me an acceptable explanation

or we'll sue you.

I'm getting married.

Oh, boy.

Jeongeun.

Jeongeun!

Just go back in.

Thank you for everything.

Never mind that.

What's the real reason?

What does it matter if you get married?

And what's with Yeongjo?

Is it because of Yang Miryeon?

I'm sorry.

Stop.

Why do you keep apologizing?

Can you really leave?

Where is the woman I fell for?

Your eyes shone when

there was lighting.

Can you really stop now?

You're mistaken.

I just want to be famous and

make money quickly.

I'm very grateful to you.

What are you grateful for?

We didn't start anything.

There are so many things

I want to do with you.

I haven't started anything.

How can you end it like this

without giving me a chance?

I'm busy.

What do you want?

I have a headache.

Help me figure this out.

Did you quit because of my father?

He'll be sitting on the bench

if you become president.

Those are just rumors.

Then what about Jeongeun?

I know she's not getting married.

Is it because of the fraud incident?

Let's say it is.

I'm curious about something, too.

What?

Why did Lee Aerin do that?

Did your father say anything?

I'm sure he knows.

Hi, Yugyeong.

Do you have any coins?

It's me.

Is father home?

He has some time, right?

An assistant director shouldn't be

coming to the president's office.

You don't want to talk business at home.

Why was Yeongjo fired?

Nobody can fire him.

He quit.

You really...

Where is Lee Aerin?

I don't know.

This wouldn't have happened

if you took measures

when the first article appeared.

Where is she?

She must be somewhere if she's not dead.

We lost a lot because of her.

The company didn't lose anything.

She paid for everything.

Is it true what people are saying?

Did you threaten her and...

Did I threaten her

and take all her money?

What would I threaten her with?

Her baby.

What are you talking about?

If the video is true

did you get rid of the baby?

You were really poor when

you started as her manager.

If she had a baby

when she just started to gain fame,

I'm sure you did something.

You...

I raised you on my own because

I didn't want a stepmother to abuse you.

I'm very responsible when

it comes to family.

Are you sure it's not just your family?

Who gave the baby up for adoption?

Do I have to reveal this secret?

Who was the producer of her movies?

Yeongjo's grandfather?

Everything was ordered by him

and his dad took all the action.

Yeongjo's father

and grandfather did that?

Yes.

If I was just one step faster,

I could have raised the child.

Everything was ordered by him

and his dad took all the action.
