What's this?

Who's this man?

A friend from college.

How did this photo...

Is he Kim Tae-seob?

Why did he send us a photo of you two together as a wedding gift?

We were close, but we didn't date.

We took this photo as a joke too.

This man died in a car accident a long time ago.

He died?

I'm sure Kang Shin-yong sent it.

She did it to separate us.

There was really nothing between you?

Ask my college friends if you don't believe me.

I didn't do anything wrong.

We don't have time now.

Let's talk later.

Dad's waiting.

Where did Kang Shin-yong get this photo?

His family left for the States.

Don't get too upset yet.

You still have a lot more to go through.

You'll shed as many tears as I did.

Be careful in front of the reporters.

Behave yourself now that you're Mo-roo's wife.

Just answer the questions you're asked.

Don't worry, Mother.

I'll be the perfect wife.

Thank you all for coming.

Where's Shin Dallae?

She'll be here soon.

You're Shin Dallae's brother.

I heard you're running for the Assembly.

Please look over here.

I'm sure that was Baek Jang-mi.

Am I mistaken?

Yeon-woo wanted to talk to you.

So I told him to meet us here.

What are you doing here?

You didn't come to congratulate me, did you?

I came to tell you I'm sorry.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

And I hope you're happy.

I don't want your apologies.

How dare you come here?

I don't ever want to see you and Shin-yong again.

So go away.

Don't hate Shin-yong.

She didn't do anything wrong.

Don't defend her in front of me!

How could you two do this to me?

I'm getting engaged today.

And I'll be the Cinderella everyone envies.

You're just a man from Cinderella's past.

Dallae, wait for me!

They're perfect together.

They're a match made in heaven.

My daughter looks beautiful.

MOGUL KOO HYUN-SAE AND STAR SHIN DALLAE ENGAGED

Are you okay?

I don't like the way she looks.

I want her to be happy.

Dallae's such a warm person.

I think she's angry with me.

You didn't do anything, so don't worry.

I'm going to my interview.

Take care of my lucky charm while I'm gone.

If it brings only me luck, what about you?

I have nothing to worry about.

I have the watch you gave me.

You said that if I wear this watch,

bad times will turn into good times.

I'm off.

She worked just for a few days.

She's already acting like she's sick?

Get up right now!

It's not an act.

I'm coming down with a cold.

You were fine earlier.

How did you get sick all of a sudden?

Get up.

We'll get fired if we don't show up at work.

I'm really sick.

I caught a cold because I had to bathe in cold water.

You always blame the house for everything.

Dad, let's go.

Don't worry about her.

Jerk.

Doesn't he believe anyone?

I'm really sick.

I heard you're sick.

Get up.

I made you some porridge.

Eat some.

Goodness!

Look at all that sweat.

Goodness.

What kind of porridge is it?

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

You need your energy.

I put mushrooms and veggies in it.

It should be good.

Try it.

This is the first time anyone's ever spoon-fed me anything.

Is it fun acting like a baby?

Eat some more.

Why don't we go to a bathhouse after you eat?

It'll make you feel better to sweat it out.

Okay, here.

It's embarrassing to carry this basket.

Why couldn't we just go to a sauna and get massages?

We can just scrub each other's back.

Why would anyone pay for it?

I may be old, but I can scrub really well.

Kim Mee-so?

What happened?

You don't answer your phone, and come to the clubs anymore.

Did something happen?

I heard your family went bankrupt.

Who said that?

I just moved to a bigger house.

I see.

Who's she?

Is she your maid?

You see...

She... she's my new maid.

She's from the country.

Maid?

It must be hard for you to put up with her.

Is this your friend, Miss?

I'll go first.

It's just too embarrassing to go anywhere with her.

I have to go to the bathhouse.

See you later.

Mother! Wait!

Mother!

What are you doing?

Your friend's watching us.

What's so weird about a daughter-in-law walking

arm in arm with her mother-in-law?

Let's go get scrubbed.

But you'll have to pay me if you're really dirty.

Let's go.

Mom, where are you?

She was sleeping.

Where did she go?

Are you looking for someone?

I came to see Bae Yeon-woo.

I'm his mother.

Nice to meet you.

He went out to interview someone.

Really?

I came without calling.

Have a seat.

I'll give you some tea.

You wench!

Let my husband go.

I can't live without him.

What's wrong?

You wench!

How dare you steal my husband?

You thought I wouldn't find out?

Let him go!

Don't do that.

I know her.

She's sick.

Are you okay?

I'll take her home.

Don't worry.

Just finish your interview.

Call your sister for me.

You're pretty.

Was I pretty like you when I was young?

Are you married?

Yes.

Does your husband love you a lot?

I used to hate happily married women.

But now I think they suffer as much as I do.

But the saddest thing isn't that no one loves me,

but that I can't love anyone.

I wasted all of my youth hating everyone.

You're beautiful.

You raised your children well by yourself.

Now it's time to love yourself.

I'll fasten your seatbelt for you.

Get some sleep on the way home.

Mom, why didn't you tell me you were going to see Yeon-woo?

Do you know how worried I was?

You shouldn't go out alone.

Don't get mad. You'll get old.

Thank you.

You're Sorah's sister-in-law, aren't you?

We've met before.

Did my mom do anything wrong?

No. Don't worry.

Take good care of her.

She doesn't know that she has Alzheimer's yet.

Be strong.

Take good care of her.

You should go inside.

Don't leave her alone.

Goodbye.

The professor has Alzheimer's?

It can't be.

She's too young to have Alzheimer's.

It's my fault...

My sister's fault?

Professor, that's not it, is it?

Tell me it isn't.

I'm here.

I just couldn't leave.

I couldn't go to my sister

when she was the one who put you through hell.

It can't be.

KIM TAE-SEOB

Kim Tae-seob?

Mo-roo!

Do you know what this is?

It's the best whiskey in the world.

They only made 50 bottles.

Things aren't great with the committee.

So I bought it so you could show your appreciation.

I set up dinner.

You can give it to him.

Get that thing out of my face.

What's gotten into you?

Did something happen?

Give it to...

Get it out of my face now!

Mo-roo!

Do you know how much that bottle cost?

I had to sell my apartment to get it.

So Kim Tae-seob was just a close friend?

Then what are these letters?

These...

You must've been very much in love for a dead man

to send these letters.

Maybe he's not dead.

Are you seeing him behind my back?

Calm down.

You know how hard it was for us to get married.

Why do we have to fight about the past?

The past?

You lied to me.

I can't trust you anymore.

Fine.

I dated Kim Tae-seob for a little while.

I was so lonely that I leaned on him.

Why is that so wrong?

Then why did you lie to me?

It was nothing.

What should I have told you?

You listen to me.

I left Shin-yong and chose you because

I was touched by your love for me.

I believed that your love for me was pure,

no matter what other people said.

But you're no different from Shin-yong.

Mo-roo!

Kang Shin-yong, how far are you going to take this?

Why can't you just open the store for us now?

I can roll kimbap with my eyes closed now.

You've been watching us.

Why don't you trust us?

I don't trust you because of the last 30 years I've known you.

Father, why do you keep touching what's mine?

Now that he's mine, I'm the one who should hit him.

You have no right to do that.

Then why do you expect me to open you a kimbap place?

You want me to do things for you without payment?

Do you think I'm stupid?

Why are you such a miser?

Look what you've done to him.

I want some after-service.

I never forced him on you.

You got married because you wanted to.

Don't ask me for any after-service.

If you're going to help them, just do it now.

There's a right time for everything.

You two, pay attention!

What?

I realized that I was wrong when I saw what happened to Shin-yong.

This is the first and last time I'm going to help you

like other parents do.

So get it together and work hard!

Here.

What?

You're really helping us?

Dad!

Dad!

Please accept my bow!

Father!

You're awesome!

Get away from me!

Honey...

Just know that our ancestors will have nowhere to go

if your kimbap place fails.

You used that mountain as collateral?

How could you do that?

We can't do that to our ancestors!

You know how much my parents loved you.

They'll be okay with it if it's what you want.

I'll probably be seeing them soon.

They'll complain later that I gave you a hard time!

Honey...

Where's this mountain?

Is it bigger than Sorak Mountain?

Your family's really rich.

If it were me, I'd sell the mountain, buy a building,

and live off the rent.

Shut up.

It was you, wasn't it?

You sent that photo and the letters, didn't you?

What are you talking about?

Don't try to deny it.

You're trying to do the same thing I did to you.

Do you really think you can break up my family?

Are you admitting everything you've done?

You put Choi Jung-woon's photos in my purse.

And you sent the jewelry, didn't you?

Don't waste your time.

You will never break up my family.

I'm going to die as Cho Bok-hee's daughter-in-law and

Shin Mo-roo's wife.

The past doesn't mean anything.

So don't waste your time.

We'll see if the past really doesn't mean anything.

What are you going to do?

Tell me!

You get to keep some things and lose others.

It's time you lose some things.

Yeon-woo...

Let's go.

She's not even worth talking to.

Let's go.

What are you doing? People are looking at us.

Are you afraid of people looking at us?

Rumors will start.

I don't want to put you in a difficult position.

I wouldn't be in a difficult position,

and I don't care about the rumors.

Don't let go of my hand unless you're ashamed of being with me.

Yeon-woo, what are you talking...

Think that it's just the two of us when you're with me.

Don't worry if people stare or whisper about us.

Come with me.

I'll make you forget all your problems.

Where are we going?

I can't skate.

It's okay.

I'll teach you.

Take my hand.

Why did we come here?

I wanted to see you laugh.

Getting revenge and being successful are important.

But the most important thing is for you to be happy.

I have no time for that.

I have to stop Mo-roo from becoming an assemblyman.

And I have to get Yoo-ra back as soon as possible.

This moment's very important too.

I hope you're happy while you're with me,

even if it's just for a short time.

Follow me.

I'm going to fall.

Shin-yong!

I should go now.

Yeon-woo...

I worry about you so much that it drives me crazy.

It makes me mad when someone mistreats you.

I miss you and want to see you all the time.

I don't want to push these feelings away.

If you have feelings for me, please stop.

It seems that you pity me because I failed at my marriage.

But my life wasn't a failure.

I have no intention of leaning on you.

Just hold on to me!

Can't you just be with me when

I go through hard times and feel like crying?

I've never felt this way about a woman.

I'm confused too, but I don't want to lie to myself.

I like you.

I don't like you.

The pain is still too raw.

I've never even considered getting involved with someone else.

I should go.

I hope Dallae's happy.

I'm sad Shin-yong wasn't there on such a happy occasion.

Shin-yong worked so hard to help Dallae become an actress.

They've been divorced for a long time.

What's the point of saying that?

Oh, I think I saw Baek Jang-mi at the engagement party.

Jang-mi?

What was she doing there?

I ran after her, but she disappeared.

I felt weird about it,

so I talked to a producer at a TV station.

The surgery on her leg didn't go well.

She won't be able to act anymore.

What?

It can't be...

What if she showed up there with bad intentions?

It can't be.

You saw wrong.

Her mother hasn't called.

You're wrong.

My parents approve of you.

Don't forget to call them every morning at six.

And our family has dinner together every Sunday.

Make sure you attend.

I'll be busy with the movie.

It's my first movie.

I want to concentrate on my acting.

I let you do one project a year because you wanted to.

But I don't want to be jealous of your career.

What's the real reason you want me?

You knew I was in love with someone else.

Isn't wanting someone love too?

That's being possessive, not love.

You'll regret choosing me.

I've never regretted any of my choices.

Everything I've chosen, whether things or a woman,

has been special.

You'll love me in the end.

I'm worth it.

I can't wait to see how you'll make that happen.

As my fiancee, you have to become the perfect woman.

You'll start etiquette and cooking lessons tomorrow.

I'll get you the best language teachers and

wine connoisseurs.

What?

Just think of it as a part of becoming my wife.

These are perks too.

You have to eat a little bit.

I can't clear the table because you're not eating.

I told you I don't want to eat.

I'll get in trouble if you don't eat.

Please.

Why are you crying?

Don't cry.

Why are you making her cry?

What did she do wrong?

She won't eat.

She didn't eat much for lunch either.

I was worried.

Did you give her salmon?

What?

She doesn't like it?

Yoo-ra's allergic to salmon!

She breaks out in hives, and you made her eat it?

I didn't know.

No one told me.

You didn't know because you don't care.

Would you have done the same if she were your daughter?

You said you wanted to be her mother.

Was that a lie too?

Yoo-ra, let's go.

I'll buy you a pizza.

I'm going to send her to Shin-yong tomorrow.

At least her mother will be better than a stepmother

who doesn't know what she can and can't eat.

Mo-roo!

Stepmother?

The persimmons are very sweet.

I'll buy them for you every day.

Okay.

Mom, do you feel like going anywhere?

I'll take a few days off. We can take a trip.

I know you're busy.

I'm busy getting ready for the new semester too.

You said you were taking this semester off.

When did I say that?

I can't take a semester off just because I feel like it.

I have a lot of students this semester.

I'll be busy.

Oh, they want an outline of my lessons.

I'll be in my room.

She's getting worse every day.

I'm so scared.

The school already fired her.

What if she embarrasses herself there?

I know it's hard on you, but keep an eye on her.

Okay.

The woman who brought Mom home is Sorah's sister-in-law, right?

She's Mo-roo's ex-wife, isn't she?

She went through the same thing Mom did.

I understand what Mom went through after watching

how much Shin-yong's suffering.

Don't be nice to me.

I have too much to do right now.

Dallae, your fan club dropped off a gift for you.

Open it.

What can it be?

What is it?

Goodness... who would...

Who would do something like this?

Wait a minute.

There's a note.

Shin Dallae, own up to Baek Jang-mi's elevator accident?

This is crazy.

It's a stupid rumor.

Don't worry about it.

All stars have stalkers.

Take that stuff away.

Jang-mi's elevator accident?

Scene 1, take 1.

Ready!

Action!

Do a good job.

Mom, you got something in the mail.

I'm off to class.

Bye.

HWANG BOMI AND KIM TAE-SEOB'S FIRST BABY PICTURE

Hwang Bomi's first baby picture?

Goodness...

So she was pregnant with another man's child?

Mother, you're not going to the set today?

Let me ask you one thing.

How many men did you have before you met Mo-roo?

And you acted like he was the only love of your life?

What are you talking about?

In college, I was too busy trying to earn my tuition to date.

Mo-roo's the only man I've ever loved.

You're just shameless.

What kind of a dirty past do you have for a picture

like this to be delivered to our house?

I'll let this go for now because of Mo-roo's election.

But I won't leave you alone once it's over.

How did this...

There's only one person who could've had this.

I heard Kang Shin-yong's husband left her because

she cheated on him.

She's already hitting on Bae Yeon-woo.

Poor Yeon-woo...

He doesn't know women.

Why did it have to be a divorcee?

Why don't you have a cup of coffee?

You must be thirsty from badmouthing people.

You want a cup of coffee?

No, thanks.

This is Kang Shin-yong.

What?

Okay, I'll leave right now.

Who was it?

The man who knew Hwang Bomi.

She called him.

It's dangerous to go alone.

I'll go with you.

No, I'll go by myself.

It's my business.

What's so urgent?

I'm a busy man.

It won't take long.

Listen.

KANG SHIN-YONG

You sent this ultrasound picture, didn't you?

Why do you still have these after 5 years?

Are you trying to get revenge for Tae-seob's death now?

I didn't do anything wrong.

I had no choice about the baby if I wanted to live.

Getting rid of the baby behind Tae-seob's back was the

only way for you to live?

He loved you so much.

Why did you let him die like that?

He was pathetic at the end.

I appreciated that he paid for my tuition and living expenses,

but you can't force love.

Then why did you exchange vows of love?

You used him right from the beginning.

You thought nothing of exchanging your affections

for money and food.

Give me Tae-seob's things.

I don't have them anymore.

This person said she needed them.

So I gave them to her.

What?

Kang Shin-yong.

She said you knew her well.

What did you do?

I'm done.

You can go.

I'll pick up Yoo-ra later.

Hwang Bomi...

How could you do this to me?

What do you think a poem is?

A poem is hope to a desperate person.

Life's pain is in a poem...

What's wrong with her?

What's she doing in an empty classroom?

Maybe she lost it after she was fired.

...has the strength to make you happy.

Professor...

Move.

We...

Kang-so!

What are you doing here?

Didn't you go to the States?

How could I leave?

You're here.

I promised that I wouldn't leave you no matter how hard things got.

Am I dreaming?

You're really Kang-so, aren't you?

You can touch me if you don't believe me.

My eyes, nose, and lips.

It's me, right?

You came back!

I waited for you.

I prayed for you to come back soon.

Did you miss me that much?

Had I known, I would've let you miss me more.

Kang-so, I really missed you.

Me too.

Did your sister go back to the States?

I should've met her.

I never thanked her for the vitamins and the earrings.

It's okay.

I thanked her for you.

You did?

Let's go, I'm hungry.

Let's go eat something good.

What should we eat?

Are you bored, baby?

Let's have some cookies.

Okay.

I've seen this necklace before.

There's one at home too.

You have a necklace like that at home too?

It looks the same?

Soon-ja said she bought it at a stationery store.

They must've sold dozens of those.

But that's weird.

Why do you have such a cheap necklace at home?

Is it your aunt's?

Is anyone home?

Yes!

What brings you here?

It isn't time for your monthly report yet.

I have some news about Kashi.

I found the first orphanage Kashi went to.

What?

Orphanage?

She went to an orphanage after she was lost.

I have pictures of her.

And it seems she remembered the market where she was lost.

They called her Oh Hae-jin there.

This is... this is my Kashi?

Goodness...

She looks just like when she was a baby.

Does this mean we'll find her?

I don't care how much money it takes.

Please find my Kashi.

Goodness... my baby...

Kashi!

My baby!

Where are you going?

You have to let me explain.

What lies are you going to tell me now?

Was that man lying too because Kang Shin-yong made him?

You always say Shin-yong's behind everything.

I'm sorry I lied.

I was so poor.

It was too hard to earn money.

I was just going to take the money.

But you have to believe me.

I never loved him.

You scare me.

What did you do to him for him to run in front of a car?

And you got rid of the baby?

And you lied about such horrible things like they were nothing?

I had no choice.

It's crazy right now because of your nomination.

I didn't want to...

That's right.

Our goal was the nomination.

Then let's not make any more trouble and do our jobs.

We can act like a happily married couple until after the election.

People think you're very devoted.

Hwang Bomi, get it together.

You can't let them kick you out now.

It was too hard to get a family.

I won't be abandoned twice.

Kang Shin-yong!

I came to ask for a favor.

Don't let Kang Shin-yong stay at Jaeil Newspaper.

This is very important.

Kang Shin-yong...

Although we're the owners, we can't fire her without a reason.

We'll just upset the union.

Mo-roo won't become an assemblyman as long as she's there.

You have to do this for Dallae.

I won't ever forget this debt to you.

Oh, well...

I'll take care of this quietly when the time's right.

Please wait.

Thank you very much.

I'm sure the day will come when I'll be of great help to you.

Scene 9, take 6!

Scene 24, take 3!

Scene 5, take 4!

So it's been decided?

Thank you very much.

I have to be successful for my father's sake.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Cut!

It's a wrap!

Good work, everyone!

Good job!

Keep chopping.

Dallae!

Dallae!

Dallae... did you hear the news?

Your movie is a nominee for best movie at the Cannes Film Festival!

You're a candidate for best actress.

At the Cannes Film Festival?

That's right.

You can't believe it either, can you?

This is such an honor.

Director Shin just called.

All my wishes have come true now.

You're a star and you met a great man.

I could die happy right now if you win the award for best actress.

Are you that happy?

Of course!

The world is your oyster now.

Why wouldn't I be happy?

You'll marry Mr. Koo after we come back from Cannes.

Then we can really start helping Mo-roo with the campaign.

It'll all work out for Mo-roo too, thanks to you.

Mom...

Do I have to marry him?

What are you talking about?

You're engaged. How can you say that?

You know I don't love him.

I'm having a really hard time right now.

I'm shooting the movie.

I'm studying 5 languages, etiquette, wine,

and even royal cooking.

I don't know what I'm doing or who I am anymore.

We're almost there.

It was so hard to get here.

What's gotten into you?

I miss Yeon-woo so much.

I'm trying not to, but I miss him like crazy.

Are you crazy?

What if someone hears you?

Don't even mention his name.

You're the fiancee of Jaeil Group's son.

You have to always watch what you say.

How could you take Yeon-woo away from me

if you really want me to be happy?

If there's one thing you should give up in order to be happy,

it's love.

Love without money and status is nothing but a waste of time.

Finish up.

All the fashion houses are calling offering you gowns.

It's pretty, isn't it?

A hanbok might be better.

Wouldn't a hanbok be okay too?

You want me to quit?

What's the reason?

What did I do...

There was a problem last week with a foreign article.

The American embassy's suing us for libel.

We can't just let it go as a translation mistake.

There was nothing wrong with the translation.

I'll meet the person in charge and talk to him.

I didn't make a mistake.

I'm sorry I can't help you.

I know I shouldn't say this to you,

but people are talking about Bae Yeon-woo because of you.

It's no one's business that you're close.

But there's a lot of bad rumors about you.

You should be careful.

She was fired unfairly.

I'll complain to the union.

It's a decision from the top.

Don't meddle.

It's none of your business.

She's a coworker.

And it could happen to me too.

How can I not meddle?

You are just a pencil pusher

who only cares about what the management thinks after all.

What?

Don't you have any manners?

I don't!

I don't feel the need to be polite

when people are being treated unfairly!

I won't waste my youth at a company like this!

I quit!

Poor Yeon-woo...

Why did it have to be a divorcee?

People are talking about Yeon-woo because of you.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

Fine, Shin Mo-roo.

I'll leave if you want me out.

But this will come back to haunt you too.

What brings you here?

I wanted to talk to you.

I just turned in my resignation.

What?

You can't do that.

You know who's behind this.

Why are you quitting without a fight?

Are you going to give in to Hwang Bomi and Shin Mo-roo?

I didn't say I wouldn't fight.

I'm just going to do it differently.

I decided to run for the Assembly.

You're going to run?

I was going to be satisfied with just stopping Mo-roo

from becoming an assemblyman.

But it's not enough.

I'm going to go out into the world and fight him fair and square.

I'm going to give it a shot even if the whole world sees my scars.

I want the world to know the truth.

I want to be someone Yoo-ra can be proud of.

Shin-yong...

It'll be hard now.

But that's what I've decided for my future with Yoo-ra.

It's your letter of resignation.

Put it away.

I don't want you to suffer because of me anymore.

Thanks for everything.

I'll never forget you.

Shin-yong!

Can't I be a part of this future you dream of?

I want to be with you and Yoo-ra.

Can't we be with the person we love through the hard times?
