Original subtitles

It's the first time I've seen you here.

I am...

You!

Ga Eul!

You came to see oppa!

You should have worn stuff like this way earlier.

I didn't recognize you.

Shall we go out?

Miss Ga Eul.

Do you know this person?

No, I don't know this person.

Ga Eul!

What is your relationship with this bastard?

The one who has stolen my heart

and never returned it back... is this lady right here.

Miss Ga Eul,

stop worrying and come to me now.

Ga Eul...

Gee! So lucky.

How many good deeds had she done in her previous life?

Although we're just acting,

wouldn't it be better to act perfectly till the end?

Yes, yes. Thank you!

Master, pumpkin porridge.

Okay...

What are all these?

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.

It would be sad if it just passed by.

For whom?

Me? Me?

Just... Someone I'm thankful for.

But Jan-di, aren't you going to give chocolates to Jun-pyo sunbae?

You should take these too.

Why should I give them to him?

Just this one...

Hey, that's...

Not this one!

Aw, give it to me.

Not this one!

Hey!

The state of this restaurant,

it's absolutely terrible.

The philosophy of food,

the chef's abyss,

I guess this horrible place is a place

where things like that don't exist!

Grandpa, our porridge is good.

Jajangmyeon!

Grandpa, this is a porridge shop.

If you want jajangmyeon, you should go to a Chinese restaurant.

Jajangmyeon!

Wait, Grandpa!

Grandpa, they are selling jajangmyeon over there in Sanghaeru.

Please go there.

Please hold on.

Huh?

I could do jajangmyeon.

How is it?

That was the worst jajangmyeon I'd ever eaten.

How can you sell food with this nonexistent ability to cook,

this terrible place...

Who said you could order a jajangmyeon in a porridge shop?

Grandpa, even if it was, you should pay for the jajangmyeon.

How much do we have to charge? $3.5?

Since it's a special at our porridge shop, $4.5.

What is this?

For the jajangmyeon.

Grandpa, we only accept money, how can we accept this?

I'm not giving you money after eating crap like that! Take it!

Tell the cook or whatever, next is a Mae-un-tang.

Huh?

You'll be coming again?

You worthless people,

and this crappy restaurant...

Goodbye.

Master!

How could anyone be like that grandpa?

Master, don't let it bother you.

It seemed like he was suffering from Alzheimer's.

But...

can we eat it once?

Delicious!

It's much more better than Sanghaeru's.

Are you really gonna make spicy catfish stew for him?

Master!

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.

It would be sad if it just passed by.

Who are you going to give it to?

Just someone I'm thankful for.

MEDICINE

But, Jan-di, aren't you going to give chocolates to Jun-pyo sunbae?

Chocolates?

Chocolate? Yeah, right.

Why did you want to meet in a place like this?

Anyway, you have no sense of choosing a place.

I came here with good intentions for a change...

Why don't you just follow me?

Ah, it's cold. Let's go in somewhere else first.

Follow me.

To where?

You're going to take me somewhere weird again and cause trouble, aren't you?

Hey!

Where are you going?

It's fun and warm, and there's tea for free here.

It wasn't made for insincere users like you.

Due to the lack of service mind of the owner,

I can't help but worry for the future of your group.

But... what's that?

This?

It's nothing.

Give it to me.

This...

I made them to give someone else... but I ruined them...

They look terrible, don't they?

But they taste good...

I'm gonna eat one.

Hey!

You gave it to me, then it's all mine. Ugh.

Yes, everyone's been waiting a long time,

this is Valentine's Day event for a free cell phone

which will start right now!

All those who want to join the couple hanging on event,

please come down right now!

Everyone waited...

VALENTINE EVENT WITH ANY POP

and then started rushing down right now.

I will give you mobile phones for free.

Ah...

the last one team, the last team!

Oh, they are in.

The economy must be really hard.

Everyone rushed out as soon as I said "start."

Number one, shout "fighting," please.

-Number one! -Fighting.

-Number two! -Fighting.

-Number three! -Fighting.

-Number four! -Fighting.

-Number five! -Fighting.

-Number six! -Fighting.

-Number seven! -Fighting.

-Number eight! -Fighting.

-Number nine! -Fighting.

The rule is simple. First, take out your bags, please.

Regardless of gender,

one should be hanging on the other.

Okay, please get ready.

Number four is already ready.

Okay, get ready.

I will count to three. One, two, three!

Keep hanging.

Man, you need to bend down more.

You're too stiff,

even though you have a lot of waves in your hair. Softly!

Okay, you keep hanging that way.

Yes, there we've got it. Ah, it looks great! In that position...

Jeez!

You guys went to bed?

Number one is out!

Your face has turned red only for two seconds.

From now on, the game starts in earnest.

Oh, that's good, very good, great!

Oh! You touched, you touched. Come out!

You can put your legs down now.

Lift, when I ask you to. What are you both doing there! Get out!

It has finally been 57 minutes.

The last two teams!

Who will be the winner?

For how long do you think you will stay?

I will do my best and stay till the very end.

For the man, for how long do you think you will?

Until we win.

What? Until you win? Again, please. How long?

Until we win!

He's reliable.

His girlfriend needs to give a message of support.

Oh, yes, no need for messages,

you're happy with just being held.

Hey, laundry! It's really embarrassing...

If they know chairman's son is doing this thing,

it will make the front page of the newspaper.

Hey, be quiet. You'll get exhausted.

If you need a mobile phone, tell me. I will buy one for you.

My purpose is that I gain it with my ability.

Is it your ability? It's my ability.

For the last time,

"sit down and stand up" once.

Sit down, and stand up.

Sit down, and stand up.

Sit down, and stand up.

There are beads of sweat on men's foreheads.

Who will be the last one team. It's exciting.

Oh, she fell! Finally the first place couple has come forth!

I knew this team would win since they first entered!

Yes...

How do you feel?

I'm so happy!

I even got a mobile phone!

Yes, congratulations!

Why don't we give them a hand? Congratulations.

You must be tired. Okay...

Let go!

Let me go!

I'll go on my own.

Ga Eul, what brings you here?

The thing is...

I was just...

Jung...

she must have come to give you chocolates.

Today is Valentine's Day?

Miss, your nose looks red, you must have waited long.

Ga Eul, why don't you at least have a cup of tea?

No, it's fine.

Don't be like that, come in...

Wow, there's a lot.

I'll bring the tea.

Leave yours there too.

Excuse me. I'll be going first.

Let me go, please.

This is why the nice girls are annoying.

Ga Eul...

listen well.

Acting is just acting.

It's problematic if you misunderstood that.

I'll keep this until you meet...

the person of your destiny.

Thanks.

Anyone called chauffeur service?

How did you know?

I told you, I was called as a pick-up service.

Huh?

Jun-pyo called as he was being dragged away.

Thank you.

Well...

Geum Jan-di...

If anything happens, could you tell me?

Does anything have to happen?

Though I hope it won't.

I doubt anything will happen.

Honestly, it's not like Jun-pyo and I are in a serious relationship.

Please, drive carefully.

Geum Jan-di.

I told you, don't worry.

You are going to go in with it?

Huh?

Ah, I'm just about to give it to you.

Here you go.

Goodbye.

Her father is a dry cleaner

and her mother works as a cashier at a public bathhouse.

Yes, that's right.

How did someone like her get into Shinhwa School?

Are you making sense?

Who is her supporter?

You ordered it, ma'am.

What?

Do you know why the press is scary?

Because they are ignorant.

Once they get stupidly overwhelmed, you can't control them!

Reason and common sense doesn't work with them.

The person who lit the fire should put it out.

Why didn't you deal with it before?

I thought he was tormenting the young lady...

as in the past.

Young lady? Who's the young lady?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Young Master wants to see you.

That girl...

don't mess with her.

What?

I said don't mess with her.

I don't know what you are talking about now.

You're talking about the girl we saw...

at the event today?

Do you think your mother...

has nothing else to do?

That much free time

isn't available to waste

on such worthless matters like that.

All right then.

Prepare it right away.

Yes, ma'am.

Jeez!

He's like a ghost.

You, where'd you get that?

Well...

Where could have I gotten it?

Hey! Don't eat it!

Hey!

Ji-hoo...

why am I feeling so uneasy?

I feel like...

something is going to happen to her.

What I'm most worried about is,

the moment when she'll be in danger,

I might not even know.

Don't worry.

Geum Jan-di...

isn't that weak.

You should know that well.

Don't be afraid either.

We will always...

be there for you.

The international hotel chain Lavender's executive director

Kang Hee-soo,

has been elected as the International Hotel Association's President.

Are you satisfied with the result?

KANG HEE-SOO ELECTED AS THE INTERNATIONAL HOTEL ASSOCIATION'S PRESIDENT.

There is no satisfaction until I become the best.

Who is that person?

That person is Jun-pyo hyung-nim's mother?

Wow, Shinhwa's people sure are different than others.

Look, look at that charisma!

There's no better female than her!

There's no satisfaction until I become the best.

How about that, did it sound like her?

She may become our in-law anyway,

we can't be faded.

-A little bit similar. -Similar?

Did someone come?

Jun-pyo hyung-nim?

Young Master Jun-pyo?

Gu seobang?

Jun-pyo hyung-nim?

I've seen her before somewhere.

From before...

the one who came on TV.

Oh, right!

"Before becoming the best, there is no satisfaction..."

Oh my!

President!

Is someone here?

You seem very surprised

with my sudden appearance.

Not at all.

Young Master Jun-pyo...

No, I mean, we've gotten used to it, thanks to your son.

Jun-pyo has been here before?

Of course!

Not only did he just come here, he's slept here,

made kimchi, went to the bathhouse

I'll just get to the point.

Oh, of course, you're a very busy person.

I...

believe that when a person is born,

they have their separate worlds that they must carry out.

Jun-pyo...

is a child that must carry out, not just Korea or Asia,

but the entire world.

Of course. The world renowned Shinhwa Group!

And I will do everything in my power

to fulfill that role as a mother.

Of course you need to do that.

And in order to raise Jan-di well...

Yes, my role as a mother,

I will try my hardest to raise Jan-di

as a good match to master Jun-pyo

That's not it.

Not that, but the grass from the golfing place.

Excuse me?

Do you know what is needed to grow good grass?

Food?

It's pulling out the weeds.

The most important thing is pulling out

from the roots those which do more harm

than good to the grass, and which cannot be left together.

By chance, do you mean...

Are you saying that...

our Jan-di is a weed?

I'm glad you understand what I'm saying.

Typically, they kill the weed

with a poisonous spray.

But this time...

Manager Jung.

Yes.

This is $3 million.

Million...

If it isn't enough, we can give you more...

Since there's also my mistake

that I was neglecting my son.

Manager Jung.

Yes.

A WRITTEN PROMISE

This is a contract that you'll never meet

Jun-pyo again.

All you have to do is sign here.

Excuse me...

Honey!

Mom!

Leave now.

You're making a big mistake right now.

Whether it's a small or big mistake,

I'm probably better than you who calls someone else's child

a weed and such right in front of the parents.

Get out now. Can't you hear me?

Kang-san. What are you doing? Call the police.

What are you doing, honey?

Hurry up and throw them out!

Okay.

Won't you regret it?

I'm not a generous woman who can give you more chances.

Meeting a woman like you...

is not something I want to do either!

Let's go.

Yes.

Mom...

Honey!

Where did you find that courage?

Mom, I was impressed, really.

I've never been proud of you before like today.

You showed us that pride is more important than money.

What is he talking about?

How can pride be more important than money? Money is most important.

In the world of capitalism,

money is the most important thing in whatever you have.

What the hell is pride?

Honey.

Then, why did you do that?

That woman brings only $3 million and tells us to live with that.

Is she making fun of us or something?

If you're a Korean citizen, even a 3-year-old knows Shinhwa Group,

and she brings only $3 million?

Then?

Forget that. Just marry Jun-pyo.

And even though she lives right now,

she's not going to live forever.

Then all the Shinhwa fortune will be passed down to Jun-pyo.

Then that's all yours.

What the hell is $3 million?

Mom.

What?

You should be bold.

Our goal is that...

Shinhwa distribution, Shinhwa aviation, Shinhwa electron and Shinhwa...

cement and car industry and... what was that?

And what was that other thing?

Lavender.

The hotel too, will all be yours.

Mom!

What? Who knows...

if you're going to be on the news 20 years later?

There is no satisfaction

before you become the best.

Right, right, that.

You sure are my mom.

Honey...

I never knew that you had such a deep meaning behind this.

If you know it now, then that's good.

Do you know what you need to make the grass grow well?

Pulling out the weeds.

Pulling out the roots of the weed

that cannot be with the grass,

is the most important thing.

Do you have a concert ticket?

Why are you here so late?

Then what about you?

What are you doing here so late?

I don't think I heard that swimming was included...

in the Winter Olympics.

I...

just...

Feeling frustrated?

Since you don't have a ticket,

why don't you come up here and flip the pages?

I won't take it today.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Just because...

it's so interesting.

What is?

It's that when I ring the emergency bell in my heart,

you always show up.

Emergency bell?

Like the one you ring when there's a fire?

Yeah.

Then make me one.

What?

Geum Jan-di's honorable firefighter.

Thank you so much for today.

Go home safely.

Yeah, Mom.

What's wrong?

Stop crying and speak clearly so I can understand.

What?

Why are they suddenly asking us to get rid of the dry cleaners?

Well, they said that the landlord's unemployed son

will get a job with the Shinhwa company if they do!

The real estate agent Mr. Yoo said...

there's probably...

no one in this neighborhood that'll rent us anything.

If it's not to her liking...

She should've come here by herself and told us.

How can she be so cheap and go behind our backs

when our lives are on the line.

She actually did come around and tell us.

But you poured salt on her and kicked her out, Mom.

So what? Then what do u want me to do?

What is my family gonna eat and live off of?

What is this?

Today is our first day,

so our life depends on how well we do, okay?

How are you gonna sell them? Start!

We sell hot coffees! Coffee!

How about you?

-Squids... squids... -Shout out loud!

What is this, what are you doing

Shout out as usual.

Here we have squids!

Smile. Smile!

Yes, yes! Squids!

-Okay, my turn. -Yes, Jan-di.

We have pop rices! Pop!

Pop!

We have pop rices! Pop!

-Knock on the car windows and... -We need to tell them the cost.

We can just tell when people ask!

Come gather. Let's shout fighting and disperse.

Fighting!

Disperse!

Coffee! Pop rice!

Squid! It only costs $3!

It's only $3! Canned coffee $1!

Pop rice is $2!

Squids! squids! Buy some squids!

Pop rice!

Yes, it's really cheap!

It's $2!

Pop...

We have pop rice...

Pop...

What are you doing, Mom?

We have pop rice!

Pop... Pop rice...

Mom, I can't hear a thing!

Give it to me!

We have pop rice! Pop. Pop, pop!

You try.

We have pop rice. Pop, pop, pop!

A little louder!

Oh, hey...

Pop rice! Pop!

I've got it...

Pop...

Ajumma, can I have one pop rice?

Why aren't you giving me the pop rice?

Mom! The pop rice.

Ah, that will be $2!

Thank you!

Pop rice!

Why do I have to go there?

You can just go there by yourself as usual!

Do not annoy a person.

Because Shinhwa Group's successor is you, not me.

Why is there so much traffic?

Do we have to go this way?

Mr. Jung, why don't we buy that thing?

What?

Over there...

what's the name of the round thing on the street?

Do you mean pop rice?

Yes, that.

Are you crazy?

The great chairman Mrs. Kang is buying pop rice on the street?

Are you sick?

Mr. Jung.

Yes, madam.

Over here!

Can we have one pop rice, please?

Okay!

It's $2.

Thank you.

Madam...

what shall we do now?

The smell, the dust...

I cannot understand how they sell those things

with the exhaust fumes, how stupid.

Put it away now.

Yes, ma'am.

Can we have a can of coffee, please!

Hey, miss!

What are you doing?

We have coffee!

Pop rice!

$2...

Stop the car.

Just drive.

Stop the car!

There is no need to stop the car.

Stop the car, can't you hear me?

Gu Jun-pyo!

Geum Jan-di, don't move.

Please don't move.

Thank God!

Applause!

Why didn't you tell me anything?

If I told you...

Again, you'd say...

"How much is it?" Wouldn't you?

If the laundry is ruined, you can set up again.

Why embarrass...

Yeah.

I know...

my family probably is embarrassing,

But I'm not sorry for any of it.

No, I meant...

Us dating and my family circumstances

are different things.

Plus, you can't do everything for me your way

just because you are my boyfriend.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Do I just have to watch your family selling pop rice on the road?

Yes.

Just watch.

What?

Don't do anything and just watch,

if you wanna stay as my boyfriend.

Hey, dry cleaner.

You haven't called me that in a while.

But what to do?

I'm no longer the daughter of a dry cleaner.

Geum Jan-di...

I'm not trying to scare you.

And there's no need to be afraid.

Just know this.

We never know...

what my mom is going to do next. That's just her character.

I thought so.

Promise me.

What?

That if anything happens,

you'll tell me immediately.

All right.

And one more thing.

That no matter what happens,

you will never run from me.

I can't promise you that.

What?

I wanted to escape many times

not because of your mom. Because of you.

Hey!

I'll promise you.

That your mom...

isn't going to be the reason at least.

I'm glad you are Geum Jan-di.

What?

I'm glad that Geum Jan-di, the commoner, the gangster,

is my girlfriend.

I am extremely fortunate.

The promise...

makes me feel relieved.

Hey! What's up with that?

Is that a compliment or an insult?

Do you want to drink this?

Hiring Female Workers Beginners and housewife are welcome

Yes, hello?

It says that you're looking to hire night shift part time workers, so.

Oh, okay.

I understand.

Here's pumpkin porridge.

Okay.

The pumpkin porridge you ordered is out.

Please enjoy it.

Also, it's really hot,

so make sure you cool it a bit first before you eat.

You're really on top of things.

Our porridge is really good.

So please come often.

But...

your face is really cute.

College student?

No, I'm a high school student.

Oh, then that might be a bit difficult.

What is?

Our company uses a lot of student models,

and I really like your image.

I see.

But...

how much does it pay?

Take a look.

Whoa. What can I get for you?

Canned coffee or crackers?

No, honey, you can tell by just looking at them that they came for the dried squid.

How many should I get you?

Who said you guys can do this here because you wanted to?

Huh?

Guys! Trash the place!

You must pay tax!

What the hell is this?

Who gave you the permission?

You have to pay tax to be here.

Please stop, mister!

Do you really think that she would go that far?

It still bothers me.

Then, you should check it out.

Give me your phone.

My phone?

Why? Is your phone battery dead?

Hello?

Hello?

Yi-jung sunbae?

Yi-jung sunbae?

Hello? Hello?

Oh, Miss Ga Eul.

Hi?

Okay...

Hello.

How much should I put in?

Fill it up.

What payment method should I help you with?

Sunbae!

Actually, I thought I was going to pass out because I was so tired.

Thank you, sunbae.

Aren't you overdoing it?

Don't you know who I am?

It's me!

The commoner representative of Republic of Korea, Geum Jan-di!

I'm nothing if you take away stamina and will-power.

Liar.

Eh?

Your body is saying that it's a lie, right now.

Wait, I have a lot of tissues...

It's heartbreaking.

If I were Jun-pyo, then this would really break my heart.

Please don't tell Gu Jun-pyo.

I want to take care of my own life.

That's the only way I can keep my pride.

I'm so jealous of Jun-pyo.

I'm going.

Hey, Geum Kang-san, you don't have lunch money so you're skipping meals, huh?

They say, "Even Geum Gang San is after eating." What to do? Poor boy!

What are they?

Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait! Kang-san, are you going around starving?

No...

No, wait.

Hurry, and tell the truth,

or I'm going to hunt you down at school.

Well, I just told the school that I don't want to eat because I don't want to pay.

My teacher wanted to pay it for me, but I didn't want it.

Why are you telling me this now?

Your job in the morning,

the porridge shop, then the gas station at night.

How can I tell you?

I'm not going to die from not eating one meal.

I'm going, bye!

Hey!

Hey! You...

But he's still so small...

it's heartbreaking...

Excuse me, sorry!

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Anybody?

Hello, is anyone here?

On behalf of F4

I'm sorry. On behalf of F4...

I'm sorry.

I have an announcement.

What's wrong with you?

Do you get it now?

That's why...

Hit like this.

What are you doing?

Oh, my...

What?

Do you really want to die?

Early morning...

Were you acting?

I was acting.

You act really well.

I'm sorry... Ah! I'm really sorry.

Hey, listen to me!

Writer, you heard it right?
