You've become prettier.

Tomorrow's your engagement. Are you allowed to be here like this?

Why won't you answer my calls?

Chae-ree will kill me if she finds out.

I'm sorry that you have to make the engagement cake.

Don't be. I was going to spit in the cake anyways.

That's fine by me. Just don't let anybody else find out.

But there are some weird rumors about your boss.

You're going around asking about other people now?

I hear that he treats women like trash. And he's got a violent temper, too.

That's better than cheating on your girlfriend.

I even heard that he can't perform sexually.

Don't worry. He's fine.

Did you sleep with him?

Yeah.

That's great. It makes us even now.

- What's great? - Break up with your boss.

- What? - You're my woman. Break up with him.

You still haven't had enough, have you? I'm you're woman? In your dreams!

You think I'm your toy? Do you? Huh?

You got sick and tired of me so you throw me away, and now you want me back?

Sam-soon! It hurts. It really hurts!

It should. It better hurt.

My heart was bruised black by you, you bastard! You're a bastard, you know that?

Why do you have an umbrella when it's not even raining?

I knew I'd run into you, that's why. Let go! Let go of me!

Look me in the eyes. You really have no feelings left for me whatsoever?

You really do suffer from megalomania, don't you?

Look me straight in the eyes. You still love me, right?

In your dreams! You think you're Tom Cruise or something?

It's not love. And it's definitely not because I want to get back with you.

But I spent three years with you. So I can't just forget about it overnight, can I?

It's regrettable, pitiful and sad. But I definitely don't want

That's enough. Those feelings are enough for us to start over again.

What about Chae-ree? You're getting engaged tomorrow.

I know. Who said I wasn't getting engaged?

What?

Chae-ree's cute and adorable. And I feel comfortable with you.

So you'll marry Chae-ree and have an affair with me?

Don't call it an affair. It's romance. I'm confident that I won't get caught.

You're crazy

Yeah, I'm crazy. It drove me nuts seeing you with him that day.

I felt my blood streaming backwards. I wanted to strangle him on the spot.

That's when I realized. I realized that I still love you.

Don't give love a dirty name like that. That's not love. That's arrogance.

Whatever the case, there's only one thought on my mind.

I want to start over with you.

You do this one more time and I'm going to tell Chae-ree everything.

I won't give up on you. I'm going to make you mine again. No matter what it takes!

I was going to just let it go, but you just had to push it. I'll see you tomorrow then.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Hello, Ma'am. How have you been? Congratulations.

Thank you for taking care of the preparations for the engagement.

Yes, thank you.

- Don't mention it. Go on in. - Thanks.

Hey, Hairy, can't you see that it's raining here?

It's raining here, it's raining. Hurry up, will you?

It's stinging my eyes. Hurry. Get going now!

Welcome.

We will now start the engagement party of Mr. Min's eldest son, Min Hyun-woo

and Mr. Jang's second daughter, Jang Chae-ree.

Please give a big round of applause for the future groom and bride.

Let's welcome the future bride and groom!

Congratulations on your engagement, Min Hyun-woo & Chang Chae-ree

Wait one sec.

Where are you going?

Ladies and gentlemen, this young man has an announcement to make.

That beautiful lady is my girlfriend.

And I'm going to give her a first kiss tonight.

What did you say? I can't understand French that well yet.

A cup of coffee is 5 kcals...

Five minutes of kissing burns the same amount of calories.

I wonder how many calories we burned kissing in the three years

The calories of our love. Where did all that energy go? Where?

Are you OK?

Sam-soon.

Yes.

Are you sure?

I'm fine.

The cake's great.

We will now cut the cake, wishing for the happiness of the bride and groom.

Bride and groom, please come forward.

How much do I have left?

You just started to pay back! And what are you going to do about this sign?

Why are you using my daughter's name like this?

It's been there for 20 years. I can't take it down now.

Well then, you should pay more for the sign.

Wasn't the sign part of the rice mill when you sold it?

I think Sam-soon can't get married because of this sign.

What an excuse!

So did you taste the peppers? They're really hot, aren't they?

Peppers?

Sam-soon came last night and bought a handful of peppers.

Sam-soon? Why?

You didn't make Kimchi? She asked for the hottest peppers

That's the price you pay for getting on my nerves like that. You deserve it.

Sam-soon. Sam-soon.

Yeah?

The bride's mother wants to see you.

Huh? Me?

Why?

Your father used to make such delicious rice cakes. You must take after him.

I've never seen such a pretty cake or tasted anything so delicious.

Thanks for everything. Use this as allowance.

No, it's OK.

- Just take it. - No, it's really OK.

I used to give you allowance when you were little, too.

Yeah, Sam-soon. Just take it.

Sam-soon, you should get married soon, too.

Well, thank you for everything today.

Sam-soon, thanks. The cake was really delicious.

I'll reserve a cake for our wedding, too. That's OK, right?

Sure...

I'll buy you dinner next time. Thanks,

Sam-soon.

Isn't it a shame to work at a place like this with your skills?

Mind your own business.

Shall I open up a shop for you?

Now you're really trying to act like a sugar daddy, aren't you?

Was it too obvious? Well, is there anything you want?

You know that the back of a car has a face?

You can tell how shy it is when it's cutting in... how much the driver is sweating.

The back of a car says that I'm violent if it's being driven by a violent driver.

If it's so easy to read a piece of metal. How do you think it will be with a person?

Don't tarnish the memories that I have with you.

Walk away so that I can at least remember your back to be beautiful.

The engagement party was very nice. Thank you.

Didn't you just get engaged? What the hell do you think you're doing?

I don't think you two are right for each other. So I gave her some advice.

That's none of your business.

Sam-soon's business is my business.

You should be concerned about Chae-ree now.

Are you going to hit me?

I'll hit you if I ever catch you bothering her again.

I thought you were a sissy, but you're pretty tough, aren't you?

I should get out of here before you really do hit me.

The reason why we can't find ourselves a decent guy...

First, nice men are ugly.

Second, good looking men are not nice.

Third, good looking and nice men are already married.

We already went over that.

Fourth, good looking, nice and single men are incompetent.

Fifth, good looking, nice, single, and rich men are not interested in us.

Sixth, good looking, nice, single, rich men that are interested in us will cheat on us.

Seventh, good looking, nice, single, rich men that are interested in us that are...

...not likely to cheat on us are gay!

Eight... I need to go to the lady's room.

Ma'am, where's the lady's room?

Over there.

- Stop making so much noise. - You're the one making all the noise.

You never learned how to play the piano?

It's the fate of being the third daughter. I never got a chance after my sisters.

Move over.

Watch me play and try to follow.

Why aren't you playing?

I'm giving you free lessons because the cake was so great.

Are you using your toes to play?

Have you seen such long toes before?

Your hands look rough.

You try kneading dough for 10 years. Small wonder that my hands are ugly.

Play better this time, Ok? One, two, three!

This is how it's done, huh?

Play with me, OK?

Wow, I did it.

Why were you crying before?

Min Hyun-woo, Do you still love him?

No.

Then why did you cry?

Do I have to answer that?

You don't have to if you don't want to.

It just hurt to realize that... people change... Hearts change... love changes...

It hurt to think that "eternal love" doesn't exist...

You realized that now?

Stop acting as if you know everything.

I'm going to deduct the wine from your paycheck.

I might reconsider if you give me some.

You really have a strange way of asking for a drink.

There isn't any good wine left. Just the ones left from baking.

Basketball? I started playing basketball

because I didn't want to see my grandfather in home.

So when my grandfather passed away, I didn't want to play anymore.

And what else... Oh! About the name... Why I insist on the name Hee-jin...

I have two sisters. They both had piano lessons when they were young.

I just followed them to watch them play. Our family couldn't afford it for me.

But one day, the piano teacher called me.

And she taught me how to play chopsticks.

What we were playing before... I guess she felt sorry for me, following my sisters.

Anyway, the piano teacher's name was Hee-jin. Kang Jee-jin.

She used to wear mini skirts and long leather boots.

She was really pretty.

That's why you want to be Kim Hee-jin?

Yes...

That's your reason?

Don't laugh. She was my role model.

Then tenth! Where were we?

Good looking, nice, single and rich man that are interested in us,

who don't cheat and are not gay...

And are still interested even if we approach them first are... They are...

They are...

There's definitely something wrong with them! They're abnormal.

Reality bites. But how did Sam-soon seduce our Prince, Jin-hun, like that?

Is she younger than I am?

- Is she thinner than I am? - Is she prettier than I am?

Does she have a better personality than I do?

Things will eventually fall into their rightful place.

You saw the girl that came to the restaurant, right?

Sam-soon's history now.

I don't want anything too fancy...

It'll be about 20 square yards wide with about 3 to 4 tables.

I want to open a shop that sells the nation's best cakes.

I'm going to make my own special cakes and cookies.

It'll be great if they sell well. But if they don't, I'll just eat them all.

I guess you won't starve to death.

There's really not that much to life. It goes by, just like that.

You've only 30 years old. How do you know

if there's really not that much to life or not?

There isn't an odd job that I didn't do to make money to go to Paris.

Do you know why?

I didn't want to live like my father.

He always told me that there's not much to life.

My father lived 50 years of his life like that.

He was the owner of a rice cake bakery.

But sometimes I wanted to be someone special.

Well, you're someone special at this restaurant.

What was that? Was that a compliment?

You're the oldest and heaviest among all the female employees.

Why do you have to be so cynical like that all the time, huh?

OK, now it's your turn to talk.

Yoo Hee-jin.

Why are you so angry at her?

I answered all your questions. It's unfair.

It's over. It's over, so don't ask any more questions.

Hey, you know this song?

Is it a song that I shouldn't know?

It's a really really really old song.

Well, it's a really really really good song.

Do you know who wrote this song?

Nope.

Hermann Hesse.

Really?

Suh Yoo-suk borrowed Hermann Hesse's poem and wrote the song.

Like a child that forgets the person that gave her to me. My beautiful person...

I gave my heart to you and you play it with your little hands...

My heart is with you. My beautiful person. My beautiful person.

I'm sorry I couldn't sing as well as you played.

No, you were actually pretty good.

Huh? What is it this time? Is it a compliment or not?

It's a compliment.

Then why are you laughing?

Hey! You're laughing at me, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

You're laughing at me.

No, I'm not.

It's raining and you're laughing at me.

Why won't you stop laughing?

You have cream on your mouth.

Where?

Here?

Here?

You know what?

Suh Yoo-suk used to be a handball player when he was young.

Oh.

He was a member of the youth national team as well.

Oh.

Interesting, isn't it?

Yeah.

We should go.

OK.

Why aren't you closing your eyes today?

I told you to wash it with clean water!

Stop dripping water all over the place. Be careful!

Clean it up!

Hey, splash a bucket of water here, too.

Hey!

You're out of your mind.

- Who's out of their mind? - Huh? Nobody.

- But Sam-soon - Yeah?

- Did you kiss our boss? - Huh? You saw us?

What?

Huh? forget it.

You kissed him, didn't you?

Stop being silly and go and clean up.

- How does it feel when you kiss? - Huh?

You've never kissed before?

Well...

You need to get out more.

How does it feel?

It's... sweet...

It's sweet?

- Shall I give you a kiss? - I'll pass!

I'm in charge of cleaning your room.

It's okay. Just leave it. I'll do it.

No, I'll do it.

It's really hot, isn't it. They say it's the hottest summer in 100 years.

Yes.

Captain Jang. What are you doing?

I'm better than Sam-soon, arent' I? I'll wait for you.

Come to my office. -Sam-shik

Did you put something in the cake yesterday?

Excuse me?

- Did you put something in the cake? - Something?

Something that makes you temporary insane or something like that.

I don't play with food. Don't insult my cake like that.

It's been a couple of days. Why didn't you come for your bag?

Why didn't you come and return it to me?

I thought you'd come to get it yourself.

I thought you'd come to return it to me.

About the other day... I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I'm sorry.

I'm the one that should apologize. I started it, so I'm sorry.

Whosever fault it was, I'm glad that we agree that it was a mistake.

- Yes, I'm glad, too. - It won't happen again.

- Of course. It shouldn't happen again. - You can go now.

OK.

Have you started to like me?

What did you just say?

I asked if you've started to like me.

You're impossible, you know that?

I'd like to remind you of the sixth clause of our contract.

We pretend to date but we won't actually date.

Never.

But I'm curious about one thing, too. Somebody cleared the table. Was it you?

Yes.

How'd you do that?

Excuse me?

If you were too drunk, how did you clear the table and remember to get my bag?

I always maintain one percent of rationality in case of emergencies.

Of course How could you ever think of kissing a fat spinster like me, right?

I'm afraid what the consequences would've been if you hadn't left that one percent.

Anyways, let me apologize one more time. It won't happen again.

- No, I'm sorry. It was my mistake. - No, I shouldn't have drunk like that.

No, it's my fault for letting you drink like

that when I'm aware of your drinking habits.

No, it's my fault for allowing a horny guy to drink with me on a rainy night.

And do you enjoy luring guys to your side like that?

In your dreams. I'm very selective about the guys I lure.

The same goes for me.

Why'd you come sit next to me and teach me how to play the piano?

Why were you drinking alone?

I thought everyone had gone home.

Don't drink alone like that. It's saying, "take me home with you."

That's what men think. There are times when women want to drink alone.

Then go home and drink.

Do I have to take into account what other people will think of me to have a drink?

Shall I raise my voice, too?

Wear a suit tomorrow. You have to accompany me to Cheju Island tomorrow.

There's a family event. You should be there if you're my girlfriend.

Cheju Seoul Hotel Opens, June 22, 2005

Seoul Hotel will provide future oriented service...

...in which one customer will eventually create 100 customers.

Does this make sense to you? It's difficult enough making a repeat customer.

And our hotel is too expensive. I get to sleep for free

but if I pay for it, I would never come.

Not in my sane mind. Why should I pay hundreds of dollars to sleep?

I said that and someone said that I'm too stingy and suggested that...

...I should build a hotel that was worth paying

hundreds of dollars to spend the night.

And come to think about it, that was a great idea. I'm babbling on and on

but what I want to say is that our hotel is a great hotel!

What do you think? Doesn't our hotel seem great?

We have some time after the ceremony and we'll catch the evening flight home.

I can't spend time with you so take care of yourself.

Your family owns a motel? Is this a motel? It's a hotel.

What's the difference?

Have you ever seen a motel as big as this?

People come to sleep, don't they?.

To a motel they do. People eat, exercise, and does business at a hotel as well.

You're so arrogant, you know that?

Jin-hun!

Sorry we're late.

What are you doing here?

I told you before. Maru Construction belongs to my darling's family.

I'm learning under my father and brother at the moment.

Sam-soon, aren't you going to say hi?

Oh... hi...
