[Curtain Call]

So...

he's not my cousin?

And...

she's not my sister-in-law?

I-Is it true, Co-sister-in-law?

Say something.

It is as you have heard.

We are...

not Rhee Moon Sung and Jang Jin Sook.

Why did you do something like this?

I wanted to fulfill the Chairwoman's final wish.

These guys are not to blame.

All they did was act like a married couple as I told them to.

If they had any fault,

it would be that they did it too well.

Then...

who are these guys?

These guys are...

We are actors.

Oh, my goodness...

We are...

actors.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that

we had to tell you like this.

But...

I hope that

you understand

that we didn't do this

with any bad intentions.

Do you think that makes any sense?

Wait, hold on a sec.

Everybody else knew then.

Right?

Everybody else except for me and Sister-in-law knew about it, right?

Park Se Yeon.

How long have you known this?

Auntie,

if you knew about it, you should have told me!

Why would you turn me into a fool like this? Why!

Am I that untrustworthy?

I mean, this was done to make Grandmother happy!

Did you think that I would mess it up if I knew?

Did you think I would go to Grandmother

and tell on them, saying these guys are all fakes?

I was going to have them return when the time was right.

I thought it would be best if nobody knew.

Then...

was all of it fake?

Was all of it fake?

It is true that we were acting as someone else,

but everything else was genuine. I mean it, Unni.

If that person is fake,

everything that they've said and done is fake.

Well...

Thank you...

for everything.

And...

I'm sorry.

This is something precious to you, Miss.

How could you leave this behind?

Thank you.

What I said last time...

I meant it.

It's been so long since I saw the Chairwoman be so happy like that.

Ever since you two came here, she's been like that.

Thank you.

Now that

we're about to leave this place,

I feel a bit wistful.

Yeah.

You had to go through a lot,

having to stay in the same room with me.

Yeah, I did.

I really commend myself.

Great job, me.

Now...

it's really

the end.

Let's go.

Yes.

♫ What should I do ♫

♫ Where should I go ♫

♫ The days I've wandered ♫

♫ I get lost again ♫

♫ Only you know the tears that I've dropped ♫

♫ I grow weak when I stand in front of you ♫

Let's go.

♫ Stand by your side ♫

♫ I'm right here ♫

♫ Stand by your side ♫

♫ Always ♫

♫ Even when I walk in pitch darkness ♫

♫ You become my light ♫

♫ More ♫

♫ Even when I look so shaky I'll fall over ♫

♫ You hold my hand ♫

♫ More ♫

[Ilmiri Geumgye Jjimdak*] (Steamed Chicken Dish)

By the way,

how are you so good at golf?

It's not a big deal. It was just basic knowledge.

It's not anything special.

You saw how she completely lost her mind earlier, right?

I feel so relieved today.

That ahjumma only appears fine on the outside,

but she's completely airhead.

You heard what that girl said earlier, right?

Supposedly, her graduating in the United States was all a lie.

And she always looked down on her friends...

From today on, she's gone from my life.

Yes, you're right.

Because I am so grateful to you, co-sister-in-law,

I'll twirl this cheese around like this...

Open wide!

Wow, it must be so good!

It's not overly salty and flavored lightly. It's really tasty!

It's all over.

You don't have any work today?

Am I supposed to work all the time?

I need to take a break at times, too.

Aren't you even curious about how your daughter's been doing after not seeing me for so long?

Why?

Is there something I should worry about?

No.

The last performance that you were all excited about...

Did that finish?

Yeah.

Mom.

Let's say that there is this case,

and they tell you to wrap it up because you've done your job.

But for you,

there is more you can and want to do.

What do you do in that type of situation?

What do you mean what would I do?

I would do one of two things.

What are they?

The first option is to wrap it up because they said my job's done.

Why would you seek out more work than is necessary?

Then what's the second option?

What do you think?

Just go for it.

Even though they told you your job is done?

You feel like there is something you have to do.

If you don't get this done,

you feel bothered by it for the rest of your life.

But I don't recommend this option.

Why not?

Because it's not profitable?

For those types of work, you end up getting too absorbed.

So, you end up

getting absorbed, getting overly involved,

and getting into other people's business.

Don't you think that's how I ended up

divorced and inattentive to you?

I am saying all of this out of the experience.

Your feelings?

That's only momentary.

GM, your schedule for today-

Please cancel...

my entire schedule for today.

Well...

should I cancel the meeting for the wedding as well?

Yes. All of it.

Please cancel all of it.

Yes.

Today's wedding flower meeting

was canceled due to General Manager Park Se Yeon's personal matters.

What?

Why?

What's the matter?

Well, the thing is...

Grandmother.

Moon Sung and Jin Sook...

They've left.

You probably didn't know,

but they were actually...

When I look back on it now,

I think they at least tried

to do what they can for you, Grandmother.

Meanwhile, I...

Even though I knew you were going to end up like this,

I wasn't able to do anything...

I did nothing.

I'm sorry, Grandmother.

I'm really sorry.

It's been an honor working with you all.

Are you quitting your job?

- Yeah. - Then...

is it all over?

Yeah.

Well, we're thinking of quitting, too.

What?

This is my problem. It has nothing to do with you, Hyungs.

We are a team.

So when someone goes, we all go.

We originally planned to work here to raise money for the performance costs anyway.

Also, we should return to our primary job.

Primary job?

Yeah...

Primary job.

We should return to our primary job.

We should go back to our primary job.

Hyung.

Yeah?

Could you pack my stuff for me?

Okay, take care of it if you have something to tend to.

Yeah, I need to go somewhere.

Thanks, Hyung. I'll leave you to it.

As of today...

As of today, I've resigned from my position,

so I dropped by to say goodbye for the last time.

Is today...

the last time?

As Rhee Moon Sung

who worked in the laundry room,

yes.

It is the last time.

I felt like...

I didn't get to properly say goodbye.

Thank you...

for everything.

Thank you...

for everything.

I knew...

that Grandmother's last day was coming.

And that when that day comes,

I would become sad.

And yet,

why was I not able to treat her better?

Even though I knew...

I told myself she should be fine,

that she'll be fine,

that like a tree that stands firm even after many years,

Grandmother will still be here.

I guess I believed that and looked the other way.

To be regretting it only now...

I feel like such an idiot.

Noona,

it's because

you love Grandmother deeply.

The deeper your love,

the deeper your regrets.

So...

it's okay to be sad.

It's okay to feel pain.

Just...

♫ Sometimes, when I think of you ♫

♫ I look at you from either side of my memories ♫

♫ Sometimes, when I miss you ♫

♫ I close my eyes and picture your face ♫

♫ I guess my heart can't forget you yet ♫

♫ Why do our short but sweet memories hurt so much ♫

♫ Was love always this painful ♫

♫ Was love always this difficult ♫

♫ It's too late to turn back my love... ♫

Where did he go?

CEO Park No Kwang?

CEO Park?

What's he doing?

This is an officially released car with no accident history.

Whoa, what...

What are you doing?

Gosh, man.

Aigoo, Yoo Star.

- Geez. - CEO Park, you're known for your passion.

But you're sleeping in a car.

What are you doing? Aren't you going to sell cars?

Hey, look around.

How come there's not even an ant in here?

Gosh, the economy is so bad these days.

So, are you feeling down?

Yeah, a bit.

Then, do you want to have a bit of a drink?

I want a lot of that.

Are you having a really tough time?

I mean, it's not to that extent.

I'm just so exhausted to death, that's all.

But I still think this.

In life,

you need to hit rock bottom

before you can start rising to the top.

Hey, but what if there's a basement under that rock bottom?

Why is this bastard saying such foreboding words!

Your words might become a reality, damn it!

Sorry.

And you. Did what you were doing

end well?

I don't know if this counts as ending well

or not...

It hasn't ended, I see.

What?

You just said you don't know if it ended well or not.

That means it hasn't ended.

Hey.

If...

let's say...

we want to be good sons to our parents.

Then what would you want to do?

I mean...

we didn't have parents.

That's not true! We probably had parents once.

Yeah, okay. We probably had parents somewhere once.

But...

Never mind.

Okay.

What do you do for a living?

Me?

Acting.

So what you enjoy doing.

But also what you can do more of,

and what you can do well.

Wouldn't it be for the best to do that?

When did this bastard become an adult?

I can't even catch that.

Forget it. How can we be good sons?

[Stage directions and script]

The stock price graph is an abnormal upward curve.

From the buyer's point of view,

they may believe that there is a force that's trying to pump and dump.

In that case, there's a chance that the sale might fall through.

GM, Director Park Se Joon is here.

You may leave.

If it wasn't anything serious, you would have talked to me at home.

Right?

The surveying will begin today.

We're going to proceed with the sale process.

I came to let you know.

Must you do this now?

At least while Grandmother is still with us,

can't we just get along

- quietly? - Grandmother...

may not ever wake up.

- Oppa! - So, we should start settling everything now.

Do you think that makes sense?

We should have done this a long time ago.

It got to this point because we pushed it back too much.

If we had finished this before,

we could have helped Grandmother pass away without worry.

You know Rhee Moon Sung is on my side, right?

No matter what you do now, you can't stop me.

That's why I'm telling you.

You'll surely get hurt.

But it would be better to know before you get hurt.

Must you do this?

I've been doing this all along.

You're the one who was resisting it.

Recently, nothing good came out of our meeting here like this.

What are you going to say this time?

If you'll say something, don't drag it out and say it. I'm busy.

What could you possibly be busy with?

I don't think that's the point here.

The fake has left.

That means,

there is a real one.

Isn't that right?

You've already found him.

So?

Where is our real cousin?

He'll be here soon.

Amazing...

Just amazing.

Just when I was finding my balance again,

you strike me on the head.

Even for a traffic light, there's a yellow light between the red and green lights.

Hyung!

Let me regain my place before you shake things up any further!

He is regaining his place,

at least for that guy.

Then,

does he have a wife?

Well, if there was a fake co-sister-in-law,

I was wondering if there was a real one as well.

No.

All right, so that Moon Sung... I mean...

the real Moon Sung.

When is he coming?

Right now.

Let's go inside.

Welcome.

You can stay here from now on.

Nice to meet you. I'm Rhee Moon Sung.

We've met before, right?

Our first meeting was a bit violent.

You tried so hard to stop me, then...

In the end, things turned out like this.

You must be pretty upset.

Let me say one thing to you.

It is not that I didn't want you to return.

I just wanted to delay it.

So...

did it go according to your plans?

Since things turned out like this, let's get along, Comrade.

Since our entire family is gathered together like this,

we should clear things up.

What do you mean?

- Regarding inheritance. - Oppa!

I will sell the hotel.

I've already finished talking about it with Rhee Moon Sung here.

Once Grandmother passes away,

we will receive her inheritance,

and when the two of us pool our shares together,

you won't be able to stop the sale,

even if you add Dong Je's shares to yours.

Please think it over.

I'm already done discussing it.

It's a waste of time

to talk more about the finished business.

Are you going to just sit there after hearing this?

I've stepped out of this picture from the start

and I have no intention of entering it even now.

Gosh! Geez!

We will have to check how Grandmother wrote her will,

but Auntie Jung Sook and Manager,

if you receive any inheritance from Grandmother,

it would be better for you to sell your shares to me.

You know that Grandmother

doesn't have much time left.

Please think it over and make your decision before she passes away.

Oppa!

Your words are too harsh!

The Chairwoman's not to blame.

Your parents passing away

so early was also just an unfortunate accident.

It's not the Chairwoman's fault.

Ahjussi!

Also, Rhee Moon Sung...

How you and your father lived and suffered in the North...

That's your fate.

And that she's longed for the family

she left behind in the North rather than you who were with her

is also not your grandmother's fault.

If she committed any sin,

it would be in her longing.

She left behind her family in North Korea and lost her son.

Holding that pain deep in her heart,

she endured all the blame even though it wasn't her fault.

even though it wasn't her fault.

If you want to blame something,

blame your fates!

Why are you hating your grandmother and despising the hotel she built?

To me, the Chairwoman is a lifesaver

and a mentor who set me on the path to new life.

While I served her for the past several decades, I've never seen her act indecently.

I was trash with no relation to her,

but she treated me better than family, without any prejudices.

But you guys...

You guys are family.

As her family, can't you understand your grandmother?

Since you guys are family!

Since you are family, you should understand her.

I planned that ridiculous and silly performance.

Hoping that the Chairwoman

might spend her last days happy.

Regrets?

If I could just make the Chairwoman happy,

I would do this performance again.

Inheritance?

Look at yourselves.

Your grandmother is still alive!

Must you bring up inheritance talks right now?

The Chairwoman took on the role of your late parents as family,

and as your grandmother.

Ungrateful bastards.

♫ Remembering you from that day ♫

♫ In the breaking tides ♫

♫ In my wounded state, like a boulder, I remain here ♫

♫ Remembering you from that day ♫

Move!

Do you think I'll let you commit murder in my hotel?

♫ I want to go to that time ♫

♫ You are cold like the sea ♫

♫ Seeming distant though not so ♫

Chairwoman...

♫ Whenever I approach you, you begin to disappear slowly ♫

Thank you.

♫ Remembering you from that day ♫

♫ In the breaking tides ♫

♫ In my wounded state, like a boulder... ♫

You may stay here.

If you ever need anything, please let me know.

This is our grandmother's room.

Isn't it stylish?

If you're done, shall we go back out?

Our house has so many rooms,

so isn't it hard to find your way around?

I'll write the names for you next time.

Grandmother's room here,

and Moon Sung's room over there.

Do you have any plans today?

True, you just arrived not too long ago.

What plans would you have?

Let's go!

This hyung will buy you something tasty to eat.

Let's go!

Don't act like we're close.

Wow, this makes me feel so small.

Sorry.

I was a bit too hasty.

But will you keep this up with your family?

You and me?

If we are family,

it sure is true that the family is worse than strangers.

Yeah.

He's right.

I'm the one who got weird

because of that guy...

I miss him.

Gosh...

Yeah, Hyun?

Next week?

Oh, right!

Of course, I know it's your birthday!

Of course!

I already bought your birthday present!

That's right.

Okay.

I'll see you next week.

Yeah.

Okay, just go with this one.

Purchase!

All right.

Okay.

[Airlines website]

Oppa!

Uni Jjajang.

How have you been? I haven't heard from you.

You're hearing from me now!

Are you busy?

Well...

I am.

I'm super busy.

Oh, really?

Hey, I'm going to send you a file.

Give me a call after you read through the file.

I told you I'm busy.

Listen to me when I speak.

Hey, I just sent it.

Call me after you read it, okay?

Hey, Oppa. Yoo Jae Heon.

Hey!

He just said his piece and hung up...

What did he send me?

[Curtain Call]

Curtain Call?

[Youth Coffee House]

You know the time? Hurry up!

Thank you.

All right!

Wow, telepathy!

I've been craving both pizza and tteokbokki.

This is perfect!

Right?

Hey, this is what you call

killing two birds with one stone,

or getting two points in one hit.

You pull it out like this,

and place it here...

Set it like this,

and try eating them together.

Oh! Wait.

Thank you.

How is it?

It's good.

- It's good, right? - Yeah.

And, hey...

you need to try this.

This here...

All right. Try this, too.

The texture is fantastic.

Do you know the word deja vu?

What?

I feel like I've seen this before.

You get me to lower my guard by feeding me tasty,

and then what did you do again?

I seem to remember you asked me for a really big favor.

Wow, Seo Yoon Hee. All right.

You're great. You're so smart.

- Did you read it? - Yeah.

- How was it? - When did you even write that?

Well, isn't that a part of what we do?

It wasn't even that hard to write it up.

So? What are you planning on doing?

What do you mean? What am I planning?

There's a script,

and there are actors. So what do we need to do?

We need to perform.

Perform?

- Is everyone here? - Y-Yeah.

The reason why I gather you all here today is...

Let's...

stage a performance.

All of a sudden?

[Curtain Call - Script Written by Yoo Jae Heon]

Script was written by...

Yoo Jae Heon.

For your information, Yoo Hee says she likes it.

Whoa.

This is so touching.

This is so good!

- You think it's good? - Yeah.

Then let's do it!

I mean, we can do it,

but we used up all the production funds

preparing for another performance so our finances...

Kids nowadays don't do anything for free.

And you already know,

but to stage a performance,

we need to build the set and cast the actors,

- and renting a theater also requires- - Production costs?

I'll pay for it all.

- Are you serious? - You will?

Geez. Uni Jjajang,

you tell them.

He says that's what he'll do.

Gosh...

I just went for it without much thought,

but what if we end up struggling to pay for the production costs?

Don't worry about it. I'll contribute, too.

- What? - I have my pay as well.

Really?

So...

let's put on one hell of a show this time.

Uni Jjajang!

Y-You!

You're so precious!

Hey!

Such a weirdo...

So what do we need to do first?

Us?

Casting?

Hold on a sec.

What the...

Who is it?

[Se Gyu hyungnim]

Hey, Hyungnim.

- Boo! - Gosh!

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

All of a sudden?

After meeting the real one,

I could understand why Ahjussi hired you guys to do that.

Is he...

really difficult to be around?

There's no way a cousin who suddenly appeared

will feel suddenly like family,

and from his point of view, too,

even if we told him that we were his family, he wouldn't feel that way.

Still,

I am more comfortable with you now.

Why?

Think about it.

We've been pretty close,

but there was one thing about you that annoyed me.

That I would have to split the inheritance I receive with you.

But look!

There is no need for that anymore!

Since the situation became like that,

all I have left are good feelings toward you.

That's why I'm more comfortable with you now.

Hyungnim, you are quite

plain and simple.

That is my strength.

Shall I say one thing, plain and simple?

It's cold. Let's go inside.

Hey, Cousin.

Well...

I have something I want to ask you.

Yes.

Being an actor...

Is it fun?

Well, rather than just fun...

W-W-Well, it is fun. It's just that it takes a lot out of you.

Is it that difficult?

Not necessarily physically exhausting,

but more mentally.

You need to consider all sorts of things and observe other people...

It's just that...

after hearing what Grandmother said,

I've been thinking about my future.

As for me,

I'd be happy as long as it's fun.

But then,

seeing you

made me think acting could be fun.

So I'm asking you what you think about me becoming an actor.

Answer me quickly.

Oh, it appears...

you're going off on a whim.

I'm actually pretty serious.

Acting is not as easy as you might think.

Why?

Gosh...

So you don't become an actor by just being good at acting.

Then?

Maintaining one's livelihood.

It's so hard to maintain your livelihood.

Movies, dramas...

Let's say you got cast.

It's great, right? But it's a minor role.

What can you do? You do it.

A performance?

You do it intensely for a month and then a hiatus.

One-month performing, then a hiatus, one-month performing, then a hiatus...

Because you keep repeating that pattern,

you can't get a stable job.

Well, I pass that test.

That has nothing to do with me.

I can do nothing for the rest of my life and still be financially well off.

You know all that already. Next.

Hyungnim.

The really important thing is

your mental fortitude.

Having mental fortitude is the most important.

You know I'm not that sensitive about things like that.

Next.

Time.

You really don't know how much time it might take.

One year? Nope.

Two years? Come on.

10 years, 20 years, 30 years...

I pass that test, too.

I have too much time on my hands.

The things I have the most of? Money and time.

I have so much time

that I spend my own money

to waste some of my spare time.

You know that, right?

Give me a sec.

Hyungnim.

Yeah.

Would you like to

participate in a performance?

All right, all right, all right, all right, all right!

Hyungnim.

All right. Joining us starting today,

- this here is- - I am a new actor, Park Se Gyu.

If you need anything, please let me know.

Surprise!

Aren't you surprised?

What a shock, right?

Park Se Gyu will play the role of Park Se Gyu!

Isn't that a great idea?

- What a great idea, right? Why? - Yeah, yeah, it's good.

Isn't it an appropriate casting?

- Yeah, yeah, it's great! - It's pretty good, right?

- Everyone, applause! - It's not bad, right?

Park Se Gyu will play Park Se Gyu!

Wait a sec...

- Sister-in-law, just one sec. - You guys carry on.

Hyung, isn't it awesome?

It's my idea. Park Se Gyu playing Park Se Gyu.

Yeah, it's great. It's great, but...

from the perspective of someone who's just getting into acting,

for me to act the role of myself...

Park Se Gyu acting as Park Se Gyu...

Isn't that a bit off?

The thing is...

I want to portray a proper role.

I want to visit a place

and observe a character,

then express that.

Is it because you don't get a lot of scenes?

That's not it!

Who do you take me for!

Then do you have a different role in mind?

Me?

Jae Heon's entrance.

It's Pyeongyang-style dumpling soup.

Please try it.

Oh, my goodness! This is so good.

Ms. Ji Hyun, wait, wait.

Please lower the pitch when you say, "Oh, my goodness!"

Oh, my goodness... Oh, my...

A bit more rounded and vaguely.

"Oh, my goodness..."

Ma'am, the role of Ms. Geum Soon is...

Geum Soon is always upright

but lacks energy.

What do you think? Do you like it?

Whoa, yes. It's really nice.

- If you like it- - This is...

I'll reserve this theater. Yes.

Thank you.

Stand like this. Hold out your hand.

Bend your knees and lower your hands.

If I take your side,

Hyung will hate me.

But if I take his side,

you will hate me.

[Park Se Joon, Park Se Gyu, Park Se Yeon]

[Jung Sang Cheol, Yoon Jung Sook]

[Seo Yoon Hee, Yoo Jae Heon]

[Rhee Moon Sung]

Whoa, you scared me!

Gosh, these morons...

Both of you are scaring me like this.

Hey.

Turn on the light when you're at someone else's office, man!

Aren't you feeling a bit hungry?

Is it good?

What have you been doing, not even eating anything?

If you joined a chaebol* family, live like it, man. (Wealth family that owns corporations)

Instead of sleeping curled up here.

Also,

you should buy me some beef sometime. Make it Korean beef.

I feel a bit uncomfortable

in that house.

Still,

you're the one I feel closest to in this land.

Eat it with kimchi, man.

Yeah.

I know it's just once.

But I still want to show it to her.

The performance I created

for just one person.

[General Manager Park Se Yeon]

Noona.

Can I come in?

You already came in.

You're right.

[Heungnam Jang]

Get out!

You dare take in a guest without pay?

Get out!

[Heungnam Jang]

Maybe it's because I saw him when I was a kid...

I almost didn't recognize him.

Ma'am, do you know Geum Soon, who used to work here?

- Geum Soon? - Yes.

It's been a while since she stopped working here.

Try going over there.

- I'd like a bowl of rice soup, please. - Yes.

Your rice soup is here.

Please enjoy your food.

Aren't you Comrade Geum Soon?

Who could this be!

Wow!

It's really good!

Comrade Geum Soon, your cooking skills are top-notch.

Oh, thank you.

Didn't you say you were in Gyeongseong?

How come you are here...

Oh, that... well...

I was.

But...

how come you are here, Comrade Geum Soon?

I just had some things happen that I needed to come here.

Coincidence is quite a fascinating thing.

To think I'll meet you here again.

Coincidence...

is not that simple.

While I was in Gyeongseong,

I couldn't stop

thinking about you, Comrade Geum Soon.

If I let time pass like this,

I thought...

I would regret it for the rest of my life.

And that's why...

I, Rhee Jong Moon,

will find you, Comrade Geum Soon,

no matter where you are.

I am...

planning not to return to Gyeongseong.

Comrade Geum Soon.

From now on,

would it be all right

if I stay by your side

forever?

♫ Stand by your side ♫

♫ I'm right here ♫

♫ Stand by your side ♫

♫ Always ♫

♫ Even when I walk in pitch darkness, you become my light ♫

[Curtain Call]

My name is Yoo Jae Heon.

Did you come carrying piles of cash?

As soon as we finish the legal review,

I'll let you know right away.

In order to protect the hotel,

Se Yeon...

went along with the performance.

Hey. Don't you dare talk about it like that.

If you're here regarding the inheritance issue,

none of the family members are here, so...

I came to see the two of you today.

She always imagined here

you coming in on a boat over the horizon.

I know.

I want to protect everything.

Whether it's Grandmother, or the hotel.

I'm getting confused about whether this is a bad thing or a good thing.

Yoon Hee, I think I really need to do this.

♫ My heart beats ♫
