Original subtitles

I felt a stabbing pain.

I vomited, had stomach pains,

and I even vomited blood later.

Sir.

You must've had a good day.

What?

You're standing alone, but you were smiling.

Of course.

I had a great day.

It must be a Christmas gift.

I was given rest and peace.

If so, would you...

share that happiness with those in need?

Sure.

-Here. -Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you...

for letting me end...

my exhausting life.

My mother had surgery for stage three cancer...

and died two months later.

Right. That's enough.

How can I help you?

-I want to dye my hair. -Okay.

-Try it on. -Yes.

It's too big for you.

You must've lost a lot of weight.

But this is my size.

I'll take one size smaller then.

Okay. Sure.

Honey. Did you dye your hair?

Yes.

What's all that?

Well, I bought a few things I need.

You seem happy.

I'll tell Seokdoo not to look for a new tenant.

But don't you think about living with Jitae...

when he moves out after two years.

Don't try to move in with Jian or Jiho either.

Are we not moving out?

No, we won't.

What's gotten into him?

He's all happy overnight.

You can leave now.

You're here to make furniture. Why do this?

Let me help you just a bit more.

You're good at this, Jian.

I work harder when I'm complimented.

Oh, Jian's here too.

Jian.

You said you'll finish the furniture designs for my room.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was only stopping by.

You should go. I'll do it.

Did you like the furniture design?

Yes. I can't wait to see it.

They must be so close to sit next to each other.

Yes. Come in.

Miss. Tomorrow,

there's a family reunion for Christmas Eve.

If you're planning to go out, you must be back by 6 p.m.

The reservation's at 7 p.m.

There's a family reunion on Christmas Eve?

It happens every year.

You must be there.

Yes, I get it.

It's already Christmas Eve.

The son left, but they have a family reunion?

Is Dogyeong all right?

DOGYEONG

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

And he left without any clothes.

Hey.

Heavy goes to the bottom, and light goes to the top.

Do it like you're playing Tetris.

I'll try my best, but don't be disrespectful.

Smarten up.

Bring them in.

Okay. Hurry up.

SPEED PARCEL

Gosh, my back.

Let me check.

RECENT CONTACTS

Even if I'm late, there's nothing from Jian.

She's so cold.

JISU

Dogyeong. I called to check on you.

Is there anything I can do for you?

JISU

Why isn't he home?

Whatever. I don't care.

There's a suitcase in my room.

Don't touch it.

First...

Come to Cafe Hee

if you have no plans for Christmas Eve.

They're so lucky.

Excuse me.

For how long should I wait?

Can't you read Korean?

If you're in a rush, go upstairs.

Don't you see this?

"Wait. I will take long."

It's not like that.

I sweated a lot, so I wanted to take a shower.

-You sweated? -Hey!

What did you do to smell like that?

I worked out.

But where are your gym clothes?

I didn't bring them.

It's really hard to earn money.

I can't stand it any longer.

Let's wait a few more days. She said she'd send it within the month.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, but we can't even go out.

What's this?

What will happen if next year comes?

This is like prison.

But we've done bad things, so we can't complain.

No.

We could do something worse than complaining.

They said that they can't wait longer.

I forgot about them.

Not one day passes peacefully here.

The foundation day event is done,

and Eunseok didn't get to reveal herself anyway.

Did you fix everything in the Philippines?

That was done a long time ago.

Then book tickets and send them off tomorrow.

I shouldn't tell them ahead of time, should I?

Of course not.

Take them straight to the airport.

Let them find the money in the Philippines.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm going to be late since it's Christmas Eve.

Okay.

He never used to put lotion on.

CANCER INSURANCE FOR TAESU SEO

BENEFICIARY, MIJEONG YANG

Did you sleep well?

Jian, what do you want for your birthday?

Birthday?

It's your birthday tomorrow.

You remember my birthday?

How could I not? It's Christmas.

Tell me what you need.

I don't need anything.

I want to do something.

What is it?

There's a cinema where you can eat too.

Why? Don't you like it because it's like a date?

Is it because you want to avoid Dogyeong?

He doesn't even know my birthday.

I've been wanting to go there.

Sure, let's go.

-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.

One, 2, 3.

-Gosh. -This is very good.

-Happy birthday. -I love it.

-Happy Birthday. -You too.

Today must feel like a birthday to Jisu.

Will they celebrate her birthday?

I could've sent it,

but I brought it myself.

President Noh bought it for me.

I can't just throw it away.

Should I donate it?

First,

I will give you back your phone.

My goodness.

Right!

Why didn't I think about that?

My gosh, I almost forgot.

I am so stupid.

MYUNGSHIN

Dogyeong!

Why are you so late, Jisu?

The traffic was so bad.

Please wait, sir. She's leaving soon.

What's this suitcase?

They said I couldn't touch your things.

This was the biggest one I could find.

Is it too girlish?

No, it's not. I'm so glad you brought it.

Thank you.

Did they see you?

Of course not. By the way, where do you stay?

I stay at my friend's.

Here. I thought you might need money.

It feels nice to get money from my sister,

but I can't take it. That's cheating.

They'd throw away my clothes eventually,

so it's like recycling.

Where do you get money then?

I earn money. What else?

What? Where would you earn money?

Doing part-time jobs must be your only option.

I've got my ways.

I will settle down soon and be a helpful brother.

Just wait and see.

I put as many clothes as I can fit in.

Good job.

Hurry, and go. The taxi is waiting.

If you need anything, text me.

I must be late.

What happened?

They're gone? What do you mean?

It's completely empty.

The two guards, who used to work here,

resigned just this morning.

They wouldn't leave without getting paid.

I don't know what is going on either.

Namgu.

About changing the location...

of the pipes in the kitchen,

did you get a permission from the landlord?

Of course I did.

Here.

-It might get noisy. -Okay.

Right. Jisu.

Yup.

"Yup"?

I mean, what?

We're having a party at my sister's cafe. Namgu told you, right?

Right. I didn't tell her yet.

Come with him.

Today?

But I have a family dinner tonight.

So your family gathers on Christmas Eve.

If...

you have time after the dinner, come. We'll probably stay up late.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

What a shame.

I want to see my mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy.

Father.

I am sorry I resented you...

for only paying...

for my brother's college tuition.

Mother.

I am sorry I wanted you...

to refuse the surgery.

When you see me,

you can scold me a lot.

I will take whatever you say.

But I am happy now.

I feel good.

If I die of sickness,

my children won't have to feel guilty.

That's good too.

Your design is very unique.

Because the room is small, we made the bed and wardrobe simple.

I thought the vanity could be a little fancier.

You should be a furniture designer.

What?

You got a sense of design.

You draw well too.

I don't.

You need to be an art school graduate.

WOODWORKING STUDIO

I will leave now.

By any chance, did you get a job somewhere else?

Why do you ask?

You look decent.

And I thought I might hire you.

But isn't the guy who got into an accident coming back tomorrow?

Well, I can make him quit.

Never mind.

Just pay me my wage, 70,000 won.

Come on. I'll pay you well.

Your lunch is covered too.

I don't want it. Just give me the money.

I have to go to dinner and then to my next work.

I learned a lot in these four days.

It's done.

It's so hard to book tickets for Christmas.

Since Dogyeong is around,

you must feel competitive.

It's not like that.

It's her birthday gift. Jian wanted to go there.

Is Jian going on a date with you... to avoid Dogyeong?

Jian is not that weak.

By the way, why do you charge Dogyeong 30,000 won a day?

After that and paying for food and transportation,

he must have nothing.

That's what I want.

That's what you want?

Ten days must be enough to see

if he will go on...

or if he will give up.

I wanted to see that.

You've been friends for so long. Yet, you are so cruel to him.

After paying 30,000 won a day for 10 days,

he gets to stay for a month in our place.

What he chooses to do that day...

will show how determined he is.

I'm the first one to come.

It smells so delicious.

Welcome, Jian.

Hello.

Namgu, I told you about her.

Jian designed all of our pieces of furniture.

Or should I refer you as a carpenter?

Right. I am Namgu Kang.

You cook too?

Yes. Wait.

Timing is everything when it comes to fried food.

It smells good, doesn't it?

Here it comes.

It looks delicious.

By the way, why are there so many losers here?

It's Christmas Eve,

and we are all singles.

-We're not. -That's too much.

She's taken.

Why did you cook so much?

My darling, Namgu,

made the fried pork and the salad.

My goodness. I got goosebumps.

Before we turn into chickens,

let's make a toast. Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas.

Should we sing a song?

-That would be lovely. -Let's go!

Okay.

Tell me if there's anything I can do.

Goodnight.

I am sorry.

For the past 33 years,

I've lived as the heir of Haesung Corporation.

I...

have never lived the way I wanted.

I want to forge my own path.

I want to live my way.

I want to find...

the way I could be happy.

This is suffocating. I want to go clubbing.

Why doesn't Jiho contact me at all?

The party must've begun by now.

Could Jian be there too?

You should be friends.

How could I?

Why not?

You should date.

-You should date. -Stop it.

Darn it.

I am sorry.

Don't you like the food?

No, I was thinking about something else.

You should keep it within yourself.

You can't think out loud.

I will be careful.

May I excuse myself?

It's so suffocating.

100 MILLION WON

Can you put Jiho on the phone?

Jiho quit.

What? When?

CINDERELLA

Why?

Hey, why are you ignoring me?

You didn't answer my texts or calls.

Do I have to answer your calls?

You could've just stopped calling me. Why do you keep calling me?

I want to pay the balance.

I realized I haven't yet paid you fully for helping me get rid of Ryu.

Never mind. I don't need your money. And I don't want to get involved with you.

Our business is done, so don't call me again.

I am envious. I am so envious.

Gosh, this is cold now.

I will go heat it up.

Hyeok.

Hyeok.

Why do you keep looking out the window?

It's not even snowing.

It's nothing.

By the way, where is that handsome man who only sleeps in our place?

He's got a girlfriend, doesn't he?

My friend, Dogyeong.

I can't call him.

Call him over. It's Christmas Eve.

He doesn't use his phone to avoid being located.

He's not your average guy.

How could he live without a cell phone?

Good question.

I heard that's tough too.

I guess it's over.

Break is over. Let's get back to work.

-All right. -Let's clean up.

-Over here! -Let's get started.

Hey, Mr. Choi!

Are you going to eat that bread forever?

That jerk...

Time is money! Get to work!

I'm coming. Coming!

CURRENT TIME 11:57 P.M.

-Watch it. -I'm sorry.

Where is this odor coming from?

Come closer.

-He reeks. -My gosh.

It's winter. Why do I smell sweat?

It's cold. Let me carry your bag.

Gosh, it's cold.

Let's go together.

You're too late.

Merry Christmas.

Didn't you learn how to use the machine?

What? No, I did, but I can't operate this.

What kind of laundry is it?

All of my clothes I wore for a few days.

You have to separate your laundry.

Never mind. You won't catch a disease if you do.

I know that separating your load is better.

It looked like you were wearing knitwear.

Did you put that in too? You must run it for wool.

I put it in together.

Take it out then.

No, no. That's all right.

Okay, then.

Do you see the standard course?

Press it. And add an additional course for washing.

Why would I do that?

It depends on your preference,

but I like to wash it one more time.

But what are "speedy wash,"

"wash for stains, and functional clothes"?

They are necessary when you separate your load.

But you said you will wash them together.

It's your jacket, socks, and underwear, right?

I don't have time.

Did you put in detergent?

No... No.

Then get up.

This is detergent, and this is fabric softener.

Put them in these slots, and press "start".

Why is she nervous?

We need to talk.

I'm busy.

It will only take a second. Come out.

We can talk in here.

-What on earth-- -Stop right there.

I know what comes after, so stop.

You're not my wife. Why are you nagging me?

I made it very clear to you.

I told you I can't afford to bother you.

Did I bother you in any way? Did I? Or did I not? I didn't, right?

So why are you nagging me?

Here.

What is this?

I didn't know my old phone was in the bag

when I bought another cell phone. It's under my name, so you can use this.

But I have a cell phone.

What good is it if you can't use it?

You're right about that.

Take it. My arm hurts.

Does this mean you want me to survive without getting caught?

I knew you'd take it that way.

I'll consider it as your act of kindness. I take back what I said.

Don't use it for long. I'm lending it to you for only a few days.

Okay.

Let me clear that away for you.

Let me get that for you.

Hey.

Hey.

Have you gone mad?

-Come with me. -Wait. You...

How did you find me here?

I knew it right away when I heard the music.

This DJ has a unique style.

You figured out where I was working right away.

Why are you here? I told you not to call me again.

I was dumbfounded.

Why are you suddenly cutting ties with me? You won't work for me then?

No, I won't.

Why not? You don't work at the store either.

I won't because I don't want to please the riches.

I quit because of someone like you.

What? Quadruple my pay?

Did you want me to hear how easy your life is...

because you were going to quadruple my pay?

What's wrong with that?

-I pay you when I need-- -Hey.

Do you think I hung out with you for money?

You're belittling me just because your parents are rich.

I let you slide because you're Jisu's sister.

I didn't hang out with you for your money.

It was because you are my sisters' sister.

Was that it?

Yes, it was. So what?

And now, I won't hang out with you.

I'm so sick of people like you.

So don't you ever call me again.

I'm sorry.

It's not in there.

-It's not in here either. -Do you want something?

What's not in there or there?

What are you looking for, newbie?

I'm not looking for anything.

I just had to make sure it wasn't here.

It's your day off. Are you going out?

Yes.

Can you come home before dinner then?

May I ask why, Mother?

Today is Jian and Jisu's birthday.

Jian and Jisu might come home today.

Did either of them say they are coming home?

It's their birthday. Wouldn't they come?

I'm sorry, but we can't come home early.

We have an appointment today.

Dad, your hair... Why are you so dressed up?

I dyed my hair because I looked too shabby.

What about your clothes?

I bought a winter coat to match my suit.

Did something happen, Dad?

No, nothing happened.

It's the girls' birthday today.

It's Jian and Jisu's birthday.

I want to call them to have a meal together.

Forget it. They are not coming.

But they might. So can you come home before dinner?

When they know you'll go deep-sea fishing, they'll come.

Don't.

You can cook them a birthday meal, call them over, whatever.

However, don't let me be your excuse.

Don't tell them I'll go deep-sea fishing.

Not to Jian, Jisu, Jiho, or anyone else.

I'm going out.

Where are you going?

I have something to do.

Jian.

Because of what I've done to you,

I couldn't even call you until now.

Since today is your birthday, I want you...

to come home for dinner.

I don't want to go there yet.

Jisu.

Today is your birthday.

I know it's not your real birthday,

but I couldn't even say goodbye to you when you left.

So I want you...

to come home for dinner just today.

One, 2, 3.

This is nice.

-Happy Birthday. -This is great.

-Happy Birthday. -You too.

Jian would go home, right?

They must be happy.

They've been looking forward to seeing Jian.

Hyeok.

I'm so sorry, but I can't go to the movies tonight.

Why?

I told you about my friend Myungshin before.

I just got a call from her.

I owe her a lot,

and she's only available tonight.

Really?

It's okay.

You said It was difficult to reserve the tickets.

Do you have anyone to go to the movies with you?

Well...

I have a plan tonight.

Okay, you two.

I'm sorry. I'll see you later.

See you!

It feels so good to be outside.

It's been so long since we did this.

I'll ride like ten rides today.

Okay. That would be refreshing.

Will you go with me, right?

Except the roller coasters.

Why?

-Let's go. Pick one. -That one.

Come here.

Hey, don't touch it.

Open your mouth.

One, 2, 3.

Love.

One, 2, 3. Cheese!

-What? -It's nothing.

Jitae, let's try the Viking this time.

"The Viking"?

It won't be scary as long as you're with me.

But it's too dangerous for you.

What does that mean?

Whom is it dangerous for?

It just slipped off my tongue.

Won't you ride it with me?

You know I really don't like this.

Let's ride something I can enjoy too.

You promised you'd relieve my stress today.

-Merry Christmas. -What?

-Is it a cake? -Sorry?

Are you making a Christmas cake?

Yes. Kind of.

-I guess you have plans for today. -No...

I'm just making it.

Really?

Do you want to go to the movies with me, then?

Movie?

I got tickets for Frozen, but my friend canceled on me.

Frozen?

I'm a big fan of that movie.

That's good. Come with me then.

Okay. Wait. I need to put this in the fridge.

This isn't an ordinary movie theater.

Right. You can eat while watching a movie.

What?

I really wanted to come here before.

Why did you want to come here?

What?

Because...

I can eat while watching a movie.

What a relief.

I thought you were sorry that I brought you instead of my friend.

Who's that friend?

I'm so grateful friend canceled on him.

Jian.

Myungshin.

Hey. Gosh.

Hey. Jian. How could you?

I'm sorry I made you worry.

-Let's sit. -Okay.

First, tell me briefly about what has happened to you so far.

Whatever you did, you didn't call me or even your parents.

I need to know why.

I'll tell you that later over a drink.

Congratulations on passing the civil service exam. You look so happy.

Thank you.

Gosh, the whole world looked different to me.

Wait. You look pretty good too.

When did I not look good?

What is going on?

Why are you so fine?

It's a long story.

Tell me about this first. Did you meet your father?

Yes.

That's a relief.

I was so sorry that I couldn't even ask him if you were back.

Why?

Your father called me and came to see me many times.

I didn't know that.

But you said you're not staying at home now.

Is your father okay with that?

He must be disappointed,

but he knows what I've been through.

I guess he understands me.

But this is where couples date. You would've...

been embarrassed to come with your friend.

What?

You'd look weird to come here with a guy.

It was a girl.

My female friend.

Oh, I see.

Your female friend.

She told me...

she wanted to watch a movie eating.

Then she canceled on me

to meet her boyfriend.

So that friend has a boyfriend?

Do you feel relieved now?

I'll tell you everything about her later.

Okay. Thank you.

Anyway, Jisu,

you've been less formal towards me.

I guess I'm getting better at it.

Why isn't this working?

Isn't it working?

-Let me see. -No, I can manage.

-I'll help. -No, I'll do it.

Is this how to make it lean back?

It's working fine.

What do you want to eat? They have pizzas and paninis.

Your favorite foods made with flour.

You remembered.

You're designing furniture at a workshop?

I never imagined that.

I'm not a designer.

I just do this and that.

The weirdest thing is that you're okay with it.

Right? I surprise myself too.

I never thought that something within me...

would rear his head.

Isn't it because he moved into the house?

What do you mean?

Don't pretend you don't know.

The guy you like...

lives in your building and is always there.

Of course you'd feel worked up, won't you?

He won't last.

If a rich guy left home and went to a share house,

shouldn't you at least consider his feelings?

No way. I won't ever. That will never happen.

It mustn't either.

She isn't in.

I knew it.

"First, soak the seaweed."

You should get a bandage.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I can't cook...

while wearing a bandage steeped in chemicals.

Could I have a bowl of that?

-Oh, right, Jisu. -Yes?

Where do you live?

Where do I live? Why?

To take you home.

We're going to the parking lot.

No, it's fine. I'll take a taxi.

I prefer this way.

Don't you want me to know where you live?

It's more like...

Yes. My parents are strict.

I see.

Okay, then. I'll get you a taxi.

-Call me when you get home. -Okay.

Please take her home safely, sir.

Sure thing.

-See you. -I'll give you a call.

He treated me like I was his girlfriend.

What's this?

The cake!

Too bad.

If you don't mind, can you go to Yeonnamdong?

Sure.

What's that?

A guitar.

I know what it is. I'm asking why you got one.

To play it.

What's up with you?

What were you thinking?

You knew I'd be waiting with a full table. Couldn't you have come early?

Why would I if I knew the kids wouldn't come?

Fine.

I'm an evil witch.

That's what I thought my whole life.

I thought a wife's fortune relies on her husband's.

If he's rich, she is. If he's poor, she is.

That's all I knew.

I married you...

because you could support a family.

Before we married, you told me...

that it would never lack money.

I'm sorry, I couldn't keep that promise.

That's not it.

Now, I know how hard it is to be poor.

I really didn't do it for my sake.

I couldn't stand the idea of our children suffering.

That's enough.

I didn't think straight the first time,

and I didn't stop Jisu because she wasn't mine.

I said, "that's enough"!

What do you want from me?

Do you want me to take pity on you?

No, I won't.

Why did you cook for people who won't come?

You did it for yourself.

Why should you be pitied?

Why you?

I told you clearly...

that I wasn't born to support you.

I wasn't born to be your guardian.

Yes, I get that now.

Even though I was so bad,

why did I live for the kids if they would reject me?

Why are you so quiet?

I was busy eating.

It's not that.

There's something you can't say.

Sua.

Shall we...

think about keeping the baby?

What?

I know it's a shock,

but we can think about it.

Why is that?

Because it happened.

We decided not to have kids

to avoid making one.

Why are you so impulsive?

Is it because you saw kids at the amusement park?

Did you use the link the hospital sent...

to listen...

-to the baby's heartbeat? -Why would I? What for?

I did.

JITAE SEO, SUA LEE

As I listened to it...

-What's this? -Hi, Jian.

Hello. But what is this?

Dogyeong cooked all this.

What?

I think he's a bit weird.

He scraped his hand and it was red from here to here.

He kept whining in pain as he rinsed the seaweed and cooked rice.

Dogyeong cooked?

It took him over two hours to cook this.

Gosh. He loads delivery trucks at night.

So that's how he got hurt.

He loads delivery trucks?

Hey, hey.

Why do you smell like that?

You didn't know?

He's been working two jobs a day.

I guess he wanted to buy the beef.

Ms. Seonu

Hi, Jisu.

What are you doing here?

This is for you.

Where's Mr. Baker?

He went with Hyeok to check the wallpaper.

What's the cake for?

It's someone's birthday, but I couldn't give the cake.

You can...

eat it with the friend you know.

Thanks. We'll enjoy it. Do you want some coffee?

No, it's late and I have to get home.

Goodbye.

This is exactly the same.

Hyeok made that...

in his high school carpentry class.

Carpentry class?

He did carpentry in high school?

Which high school did he go to?

Eundong High School.

Who was it?

Hyeok from carpentry class.

Your school idol?

It was Jian.

Don't do anything to me.

There's someone I like.

Dogyeong.

Why are you here?

Why did you come that way?

Did you eat dinner?

Did you?

Yes. It's late.

Really? I ate too.

You ate?

-Yes. -Where?

Why do you ask?

What's the seaweed soup back at home then?

You came from there?

What's this? What happened?

Happy birthday,

Jian.

-The case... -You worked nights to buy this?

I couldn't afford it

with just my daytime job.

It's not far off.

I thought it would suit you.

You said you wouldn't do anything.

That you couldn't, that you wouldn't bother me.

But it's your birthday.

What does that have to do with you?

Can't you just accept it?

Do you think I will?

It's not that expensive.

Don't be mean. I bought it already.

Please stop it.

Just go back.

You aren't meant to live like this.

I decide how I live now.

Why are you so bothered?

It's my choice. You shouldn't care.

You make me care.

You make me care and it's annoying. You're driving me crazy.

That...

sounds like you're saying you like me.

Yes.

-What? -That's right.

You're right.

Don't you know already that I like you?

Jian.

I like you.

I do like you.

Jian.

So how can I not bother, you foolish idiot?
