Original subtitles

Jian Seo, get out!

I said get out.

How could you do this?

You stopped answering my calls.

Why? Were you there the whole time?

What does it matter?

What?

Why are you acting like this?

Jian Seo.

Hold on.

Hyeok, can you tell him to leave? I don't know why he is doing this.

She's safe, as you can see. Please leave.

Where are you going?

Home?

Why do you care?

He's still behind us.

I guess he wants to follow us.

So, do you want me to lose him?

What for?

Why would I avoid him? Let him be. It doesn't matter.

I wonder how he found us.

Did she call him?

Must be nice to have such an amazing boyfriend.

Where are they going?

What are they doing?

She must trust him a lot to go looking for him.

I guess he'll take her home safely.

Taesu Seo, Mijeong Yang. We decided to let them off the hook

for the sake of Jisu Seo. We won't turn them in.

He left.

Yongguk, my sister, and I stay on the first floor.

Yongguk sponsors three business leaders that live upstairs.

The living room and kitchen are common areas.

You're responsible for your own meals and laundry.

I was using this room, but I cleaned it up for you.

I also changed the sheets.

-How about you? -I'll stay with Yongguk.

We're like brothers, so we're not uncomfortable at all.

He spends more time at his parents' anyway.

I won't stay long.

This is a shared house. You aren't imposing, okay?

Get some rest. You've got work tomorrow.

How about I take you shopping for clothes later?

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

-I'm going out for a bit. -Where? Let me go with you.

I can go by myself.

Don't worry. I won't lie anymore.

Then let's get you a cell phone.

I'm not going to use it.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Okay then.

I won't meddle in your business. Do as you please.

The number you are calling is disconnected. Leave a message.

Jian...

you are alive, right?

Please call us, okay?

-Thank you for your business. -Thanks a lot.

I still can't get in touch with Jian.

It's been more than a week.

You are the only one who met her.

You have to tell me what you guys talked about

for me to know how she felt.

Jian will come back on her own.

There's no way anything could have happened.

The number you are calling is disconnected. Leave a message.

What is this? Jian Seo?

Excuse me. I put away my things in the storage locker.

I couldn't come get it earlier.

When was that?

You know the member exclusive restaurant? Meet me there.

-Please confirm that it's 500,000 won. -Yes.

HAESUNG APPAREL SALARY 2,920,000 WON

A former seaweed dryer. Why did you let her go out?

She doesn't have a phone. If she runs away, that's it.

She won't.

How do you know?

It's just a gut feeling.

She's still apathetic, but I think she overcame the worst of her crisis.

That's good then.

She needs to overcome it.

She will. She's Jian Seo.

-We're here. -Yes.

Don't feel sad for them.

They are just acting sad.

What's up with her?

Come in.

If you speak to someone about anything

relevant to Seohyeon Choi

and take responsibility of civil actions

for all the losses that Seohyeon Choi will incur,

you promise to compensate her for the entire amount.

Don't forget that.

Please wait a moment.

Don't play around with someone else's heart again.

-Miss... -Shut up.

"It's never early enough to regret." Don't you know that?

I've paid my mom's debt with this, okay?

Thank you.

What's wrong? You were all serious in there.

Jeez! You still haven't come to your senses.

It was your first love.

I thought it was real love.

We are on the street!

Please stop crying.

I'm about to burst with popcorn.

Miss, you were conned.

Never wear your heart on your sleeve.

Get over it.

I was scammed at the one chance I had of falling in love.

What are you saying? You're only 23.

I still can't believe it.

That look, that voice...

It was real!

If other people heard you, they'd roll over laughing.

"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up,

but a comedy in long-shot." Charles Chaplin.

Look at you!

Have you seen the prices here? Aren't they missing a zero?

She's totally clueless.

You're 23, and it's your first time in a pub.

You're playing Cinderella in secret, I understand now.

Anyway, thanks for helping me out this time.

If my family found out, they'd have me killed.

That's a problem.

My sister wouldn't withstand that kind of house.

Don't make me laugh. Your sister is an outlaw in our family.

Not even my parents can stop her.

She's sad, that's all.

My sister becomes rebellious when she's upset.

Hey, if you really are grateful to me, treat my sister well, okay?

Whatever. I'm so confused.

Green grape beer and plum beer.

Your food is coming right up.

-Thank you. -Yes.

We're both nonconformists in our families.

It's delicious!

By the way, why did you ask for my help?

Because earning money was your goal.

I thought you'd keep my secret if I paid you.

Not everything is about money.

That's not the only reason.

You're Jian Seo's brother after all.

I'm sure my secret is safe with you.

Jian Seo?

That's right. She left as soon as we were getting closer.

Is she doing okay?

Miss Choi, I'll take care of Jian Seo.

Now, be nice to your real sister, Jisu Seo. You hear me?

You're here?

Nice to meet you. I'm Jian Seo.

We've met before.

You came to our cafe twice with Hyeok.

Oh, you are his sister? But then...

Please have a seat.

Hyeok said to hide the fact that we're siblings

in order to build my independence.

I'm a bit...

I suffered from depression and loss of motivation

for the past four years.

Sister, be careful not to startle her with your honesty.

But it's the truth.

Hyeok made me learn about coffee and open a cafe.

He makes me call him "manager." And that's about it.

To separate our business and personal life.

Anyway, it's nice to see you again.

It's quite comfortable here. Make yourself at home.

Yes.

Oh, and these clothes no longer fit me now that I'm older and chubbier.

I probably only wore them once or twice. They're good as new.

You didn't even ask her. Why are you giving her used clothes?

She's your friend.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come on too strong.

No, I'll wear them.

Here is my monthly payment. I heard it's 300,000 won.

No need to pay. You are using my room.

If it makes you feel more comfortable, I'll take it and give it to Yongguk.

Thank you. If you'll excuse me.

I feel like I'm looking at my former self.

Jian Seo, whom you accepted as your daughter so happily...

turns out she's not your daughter.

Did you wish Jisu Seo wasn't your daughter?

You think your daughter would be born an aristocrat from the get-go?

We are home, but we have people standing like that.

And we are all dressed up just to eat dinner at home.

It's so funny and weird.

I didn't come here to be Eunseok. I came because I had nowhere to go.

I don't like books, though.

We eat to survive. Food is good.

Why not eat comfortably?

Ramen tastes better when you're slurp it.

What's that?

Jian Seo left it in the mailbox, but I forgot. My apologies.

It's the card that you gave her.

Did this come in the mail?

No, it didn't.

I think she put it in the mailbox when she came to talk to you.

That was a long time ago. Why are you bring it now?

I'm sorry, it slipped my mind.

You said you had something to ask me.

Did you find an etiquette instructor?

I'm still looking into it.

How long will it take to turn her into someone as good as Jian Seo?

Jian Seo came into this house wanting to become your daughter.

As for Eunseok, she's not opening up so easy.

-I think you should get closer to her... -Call her Lady Jisu.

Excuse me?

She's simple.

She's had an ordinary life. She doesn't know better.

She's still confused, trying to figure things out.

She can't see the life she can have.

I need to get close to her...

but it's also important to educate her.

I understand.

Hi, Jisu. I can talk now.

Did you do well on your exam?

What? Is that why you're calling?

Did Jian Seo come home?

I don't know.

Hey, aren't you her younger brother?

Her phone has been off. How would I know?

If I were her, I'd think my family is such a hassle.

That must be it, right?

But are you okay, Jisu? Is everything all right there?

Yeah, of course. It's totally okay.

I miss you.

What's up? Don't you miss me?

Are you mad at me?

You didn't even say goodbye.

Sorry.

Why are you sorry, Jisu? I'm the one who's sorry.

I'll apologize on behalf of my mom and dad.

Why should you? It's not your fault.

Anyway, tell Mom and Dad that I'm living it up,

spending tons of money. I'm living the good life.

I can't. I'm not going home either.

Jiho, I'll talk to you later.

Yes, who is it?

-Can I come in? -Yes.

You didn't have proper skincare and makeup.

I only use a toner and lotion.

I'm sorry I lost you, Jisu.

Until you adapt, I'll call you Jisu.

Thank you.

Let's try to get close.

It's true you had nowhere to go,

but would you have come to our house if we were complete strangers?

Losing you was my fault.

I have to live with that the rest of my life.

Even now.

Rest up.

-You're home. -You're home.

Oh, yeah.

Did you have dinner?

Yeah. You can rest.

Father.

We have something to tell you.

-Go ahead. -Sit down for a moment.

What is it? Just say it.

We're moving out.

All right.

Is he disappointed?

Why would he be? It was his suggestion.

Let's go up.

I want to leave this house

and be able to breathe at long last.

We should look for a place near work, right?

Of course. We can shorten our commute and save on the fare.

-Let's go with one room. -Of course.

What do we need two rooms for? One should do.

This one looks clean and nice. And it's newly built.

One point two million won per month plus a deposit?

I have the money I got from Jiho. We could go for something more expensive.

This one is fairly cheap.

Large room, separate kitchen. It's priced better, too.

I don't think it's a new building.

Let's try to look into it.

Not right next to work. Maybe as far as two bus stops?

It would be nice to walk and exercise.

I'm sure she got home safely.

Why does it matter to you?

Get rid of him.

I can see why she'd be upset.

Why are you here?

To see you before I head off.

We have an early meeting.

See me?

How are you feeling? Are you not upset anymore?

I don't forget things that easily.

When is your day off? Let's blow off some steam.

What do you like doing? Exercise, concerts, shopping?

I relieve stress by eating.

Really? Then let's eat out. What do you want?

Korean, Chinese, American, or fusion? I'm up for whatever.

I don't feel like eating any of those.

Really? What then? Just tell me.

I'll get you whatever you want.

Only one person can do that for me.

Take care.

This is difficult.

Did you sleep well?

I see you are eating already. Let's eat together.

Of course. I can't eat this all by myself.

It's okay. You said each one is responsible for their own meals.

I bought some milk yesterday.

You're having milk for breakfast?

Eating in the morning makes me feel bloated.

Can I leave?

You called for me?

It's 30 million won. Go shopping with that.

Wait, 30 million? Don't you mean 3 million?

No, I mean 30 million.

For real?

It really is 30 million won.

Buy whatever you want.

Spending all of it is your homework.

I understand.

We'll call a car for you.

Or go with Manager Min.

But I have to go to work.

When are you leaving that job?

I'm not.

I doubt you'll be able to spend it all if you go to work.

I'll be fine. See you later.

When does the department store close?

At 8 p.m.

It sounds like she's going to need help.

Hopefully, she's better than Jian Seo at spending money.

Sometimes I ride a bike,

but when it's urgent, I just drive.

This is a shortcut.

Don't you want to know about the job?

You told me it was simple work.

Manager, I brought you a new worker.

Hello.

So, you are Seon Woo's friend? Nice to meet you.

A huge order is falling behind. I am short-handed.

You couldn't have come at a better time.

This is Son Tae, your colleague.

Hello!

Hello.

Still carving out legs for the chairs?

Show her how the machine works, so she can cut the wood.

Cut?

It's a slightly bigger machine, but you'll do fine.

A lot of work piled up.

Soon Woo, enough with the talking. Get a move on, you hear me?

Okay, come with me.

Yes, sir.

Good luck!

I'll leave you to it then. Son Tae, work hard.

It's important to hold the wood exactly at the right spot.

If you leave a gap or don't hold tight, you'll get hurt.

Try it yourself.

Watch your hands. Some pieces will fly off, so be careful.

You still have it in you.

Good morning!

Do you not feel well?

It's nothing.

So, why do you keep drinking coffee?

Hello.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Bye.

Listen, our baker comes here every day, right?

Ah, yes.

He always says the coffee is tasty. He must like it.

No, he doesn't.

What?

He shouldn't drink coffee.

So, I thought I'd ask you.

Can you give him citron tea next time?

He shouldn't drink coffee?

After drinking coffee, he drinks milk because of his upset stomach.

He even takes antacids.

Antacids?

Oh, my boss can't drink coffee.

The coffee is so awesome!

-Seon Woo Hyeok speaking. -This is Choi Do Gyeong.

Ah, yes.

Did Jian Seo get home all right?

If you're asking how Jian is doing, she's doing fine.

She has her phone off. How can I get in touch with her?

Jian doesn't have a cell phone.

-She doesn't have a cell phone? -No, she doesn't.

Then, how should I get hold of her?

That's not something I can answer.

I don't know whether Jian wants to meet you or not, Choi Do Gyeong.

I really need to see her one more time.

Are you going to lunch?

She's doesn't want to come with us.

She hasn't paused even for a second. We'll be back.

Bye.

Jian Seo.

You had milk for breakfast, and you're skipping lunch?

I just wanted to eat alone. I'll go in a minute.

Choi Do Gyeong wants to meet you.

I think you should see him.

I told him to wait at the cafe. What do you think?

Do you have something to say?

You didn't eat lunch, right? Let's eat first.

Let's just get this over with.

Sparkling water, please.

Please say it.

You're very angry with me, right?

I thought you had something to say.

First...

I want to apologize.

I'm really sorry for not keeping my promise.

I'll tell them after the event is over.

It was before the event was over. I'm the one who didn't keep the promise.

That night...

what you wanted to say...

I'm sorry I stopped you from speaking.

It's all right.

If I knew you were going, I would've gone with you.

Okay.

I had an appointment.

Right.

But why did you decide to confess that day?

It was supposed to be after the event.

It's all in the past now.

I understand why you're upset.

I'm not upset.

It was our family's fault, and you helped us a lot.

I appreciate your effort.

You heard from your parents, right?

Go ahead, say it.

Your parents will be fine, you don't have to worry about them.

Thank you.

Jian Seo.

Is there anything else?

If you're finished, I'll get going.

Jian Seo, why are you acting like this?

I'm apologizing to you.

I'm honestly sorry.

I'll accept your apologies. Does that work?

No. It doesn't.

If you have something else to say, just say it.

I'd like to hear from you instead.

I've been worried sick.

Couldn't you at least call me?

No matter how upset, how frustrated you are...

you knew I'd worry about you.

It doesn't matter.

What?

I don't care anymore.

You...

It's my lunchtime. I should get going.

Are you working?

Where do you work?

Take care.

What's wrong with her?

What happened to her?

Does Jian work here? Didn't she go back home?

What is she doing here?

You just met her. Why are you asking me all this?

She didn't answer any of my questions!

You expect me to tell you what she won't say herself?

Yes.

I can't go away without you telling me. I just can't.

Jian is staying with my sister.

She doesn't want to go home yet.

She doesn't want to go home?

I don't think you have the right to ask any more questions.

I won't be telling you anything else. Please don't come looking for me again.

I understand.

All right then.

GIJAE KIM

Why did you make a fool out of me?

He's my uncle, but it was not easy to get her a job.

Why didn't she come?

I'm sorry. She doesn't want this job.

Really? She wants to stay at your company?

She quit.

Then why did she do this?

She's not a fan of cronyism.

Interesting.

Stop laughing. It's not funny.

What about my company?

I just said she doesn't like cronyism.

We're hiring through open recruitment.

We need more employees

because of the new face recognition system.

-Really? -Yes, but applications are due today.

Today?

Ask her if she's interested.

It doesn't mean I'll hire her, though.

I never get involved in application screenings.

Cronyism in my company? I hate it.

Today is the last day. How would she apply in time?

She won't do that.

That's too bad.

If her application went through, I'd go easy on her during the interview.

Forget it.

Can't you postpone the application deadline?

Not a chance.

Why are you being like this?

You never tell me the truth.

You love drama, but you deny it.

You keep saying it's not like that,

but your actions say otherwise.

And you never tell me the truth.

That's very disappointing.

I'm sorry.

I'll tell you after my company's anniversary.

I'm more curious every day.

Anniversary, huh?

Does that mean your family is involved?

Okay. I'll wait until then.

-Did you finish? -Yes.

All I need is her phone number.

Phone number? She doesn't have a phone.

How come?

HYEOK SEONU

Put this number down.

Hyeok Seonu?

All right.

-Hurry up! -Okay.

And find out where Jian Seo works.

It's around Hyeok Seonu's office.

Drink it. It's citron tea.

Don't upset your stomach by drinking something you can't.

I beg you.

What, not to come here?

Why do you fold paper every day? What do you want?

You said 1,000 folded cranes would make my wish come true.

That was a long time ago.

I was 21, and you were 22 back then.

We were just kids.

You're too old for something so silly.

I'm 39, and you're 40 now.

That's what I mean!

I'm 40 years old. I'd never fall for folded cranes.

When I was 23, I decided to marry a rich man. That's who I am.

I didn't fold cranes back then.

You said I should fold small pieces of paper to make them.

If I had used bigger pieces, I would've finished by now.

So...

you're going to come here for 1,000 days?

I plan to.

Namgu Kang!

And 1,000 days later, once I'm done making the cranes...

I'll see if my wish...

really comes true.

For the past 18 years...

my wish has not changed at all.

I'll wait and see if it comes true.

It won't come true.

Never!

Because I don't like it. I don't like Namgu Kang!

Say that again...

in 1,000 days.

Hello!

Hi! Long time no see.

I know, I've been busy!

-I totally got the chills. -Why?

You came right on time!

Our new collection just came in.

Really? Show me everything.

Everything? Just a moment.

Wow!

Look at this. Aren't the colors great?

Totally. I'll buy the whole rack.

Ah, okay.

What?

-All of it? -Yes.

You said you were busy. Did you open an online store?

-The black ones. -Okay.

Jisu...

I know how shocked you must've been.

But I've never thought you different from Jian.

Just once, meet me and hear me out.

I miss you so much.

You're kind and cheerful.

You'll be loved wherever you go.

But I'm worried if you're doing okay.

Liar.

Can I have more fishcakes?

Thank you!

SALVATION ARMY COLLECTION POT

Take care.

The department store closed already. Why isn't she back?

It's almost 11 p.m.

I was going to call, but I didn't want to stress her out. She's running late.

Maybe she met a friend and they're hanging out.

Girls do that a lot.

Is that so?

I was thinking by our standards.

I should tell her to call if she's going to be late.

She's home.

I can take it up myself.

I'm home.

Manager Min, take those for her. Jisu, you come here.

Let me help.

What did you buy?

Yeah. I'd like to see.

Didn't you go to a department store?

I went to the Dongdaemun.

The street market?

Manager Min, take everything out. Give me the receipts.

What for?

I said spending the money was your homework.

If she says it's homework, it means she'll check.

Is that right?

I didn't know, so it's a mess.

Okay, 30,000 won...

50,000 won...

15,000 won...

Why go to a market and not a department store?

I'm a regular at a few shops there. I hadn't been there in a while.

The thread is all loose.

I'll cut it and singe it with a lighter.

Did 30 million won get you this many items?

This is worth just over 2.8 million. Not quite 3 million.

For all this?

I told you to spend everything today.

I did.

You said it was less than three million.

I donated the rest to the Salvation Army.

You did what?

You were supposed to buy things for yourself.

Doesn't money belong to whoever you give it to?

I donated it because I had to spend everything today.

Donating money isn't a bad thing.

The issue is you gave it to people who won't acknowledge you.

Don't you see why I gave you money to spend on yourself?

How could I? It's madness to spend that much in a day.

I'm sorry.

As a member of our family, you are capable of spending that amount.

You must learn to spend and dress to fit our standards.

I like my own style, and I'm comfortable with it.

Or must we wear expensive clothes just because we're rich?

It'll be a problem if you don't fit our standards.

Why must I dress to fit your standards? I'm unique.

Jisu has a strong personality.

Let's try to reach a compromise, Jisu.

You can go to your room. You must be tired.

Okay. I'm going to try everything on, so I can exchange what doesn't fit.

Didn't you even check the size?

A lot of clothes come in only one size. Some are just too small.

-Not everything fits me. -Leave it there. I'll bring it up.

Thank you.

At least Jian went to a department store.

Honey.

I'm upset, that's all.

If they were raised as twins, how can they be so different?

What should I wear tomorrow?

Maybe this?

JAESUNG CHOI

Who are you?

Excuse me. I'm here to see Jian Seo.

What brings you here?

"What brings you here?"

I'm working. Please get to the point.

Let's talk somewhere else.

I heard what you said yesterday. I'm working now.

Why are you working here? I found you a job.

Mr. Choi...

what I do and where I do it is none of your business.

I told you several times.

You shouldn't be here, sawing wood.

It's none of your business.

I don't want to get involved either, as long as you're okay.

We were siblings once. That's why I care.

You moved in and endured things you didn't deserve.

That bothers and burdens me.

Thank you. But...

If not the Eunsang Corporation...

interview for a job elsewhere.

They need a marketing staff.

I applied on your behalf with the info I had.

You might not pass the first screening.

But if you do, just go to the interview.

I found the job..

on the internet.

Okay.

You...

It must've been so hard.

You must have wanted to die.

But you're back. You should be strong.

Yes.

Will you go to the interview

in case you make it?

I'll think about it.

Will you?

Yes.

All right. Thanks.

Did you accomplish what you wanted?

What?

I want this to be the last time we meet.

Goodbye.

Let's have some tea.

No, thanks. Just say what you want to say.

My Eunseok...

thank you for raising her so well.

Whether it was deserted or dangerous,

it would've been nice if you had reported it.

It's a pity you didn't.

I sent someone to check the place where you said you found her.

I can see why you thought someone had abandoned her.

We too were responsible for losing her. So, let's move on.

Mr. Choi...

I'm Jisu's father.

Now, I'm Eunseok's father.

I'm sorry.

I'm really, really sorry.

We'll try to make Jisu our daughter.

Taesu Seo, you take care of Jian.

She must be just as upset as Jisu.

She must be blame you.

She hasn't come home yet.

She hasn't returned?

I really hope you don't get stressed out anymore.

I won't, as long as she gets the job.

There's another condition?

I'm worried.

Sir?

Why is he here?

Are you okay?

Call an ambulance! No, put him on my back.

Sir, we're at work. I'll take him to the hospital.

You knew everything all along.

And you deceived us.

Manager Min!

Get her out of here.

Jisu...

Could she have seen that?

You're overworked and very stressed.

And showing signs of malnutrition.

You should get a thorough examination.

No. I can't sleep and I've been overworked.

I just got dizzy.

When was your last physical?

You had chest pains, right?

Well, that's because I haven't been eating regularly.

My stomach was empty.

How is he? Did he get an IV?

Yes.

Okay. Then take him home.

But...

he wants me to drop him off at the police station.

The police station? What for?

He won't tell me.

I remember you. You came by to report your daughter was missing, right?

Did you...

Did you...

find a young woman...

dead in a ditch somewhere?

Hello, sir.

We met near your house once.

I'm Dogyeong Choi.

You're Jian Seo's father, right?

Oh, yes.

I was here taking care of some business and happened to see you.

I see.

Jian Seo is fine. You don't have to worry.

Did-- Did you talk to her?

No. I saw her.

When? Where is she?

I don't know where she's staying, but I saw her in Yeonnamdong.

She'll call you soon, don't worry. You can wait at home.

I'll give you a ride. Come with me.

No, it's fine. I was shocked, that's all. I'm okay.

Then let me take you to a bus stop.

No-- No, It's okay.

Thank you.

DAD

What?

Did you receive a call from Jian?

No, I didn't.

Are you still looking for her?

Yeah. She hasn't come home.

You might get a call from her soon.

Tell me when you do, please.

Okay.

I might get a call soon?

Are you back, Jian?

She moved in with a rich family. Why did she lose weight?

Sir, I'm done with everything on this side. What should I do next?

Are you made of cast iron, young lady?

Don't your shoulders hurt?

Your fingers must be numb.

Take a walk around the block.

If you stay hunched for too long,

you'll feel too sore to work tomorrow, and we don't want that.

Come back from your walk, and I'll give you another task.

I heard you two got into trouble.

I heard Jian isn't my granddaughter!

Do you have any plans for lunch?

No, I don't.

Then how about I take you to lunch today?

I'm going out for lunch today!

Jian doesn't open up. She doesn't care about you either.

She promised not to.

I like it as it is now. I like where I am.

Dogyeong Choi. Why do you keep coming to see me?

I can't just stay put. I'm worried about you.
