How come you're here?

What did I say…

about not laying a finger on her?

Seriously?

You saw it yourself.

She came by at this hour just to piss me off!

You've been hard to reach.

Well…

As you can see,

I've been a bit busy.

Still, isn't it a bit rude to enter someone's house

without permission?

I thought you knew better.

You…

Was it a billion won you wanted?

I'll send it to you tomorrow, so end this.

No can do.

You'll get it once I have my money.

You're the one who went back on our deal, so hand it over.

That's absurd considering I have my life to consider.

This is the last card I have left to play.

I'd be a fool to easily hand it over.

You must have a death wish.

Is that a threat?

You should know that I could ruin your life

with one call to the police.

No, wait a second.

It won't just be your life that's ruined.

Hers will be, too.

Now that would be a fun sight.

With one call to the police, you can ruin my life

as well as hers?

You.

I told you not to get cheeky.

Just live with me.

Your life doesn't look too bad now,

but you'll be miserable as you age.

Why do you care if my life looks miserable?

Will you please just get lost from my life?

You got a man like him to harass my Jeong-hae.

I can't believe you resorted to such a dirty and shameful way.

That's why

I really can't forgive you.

Of course.

Even I can't forgive myself for what I did either.

Stop making excuses for yourselves

and send the case files over to the MDD.

Please give us a few more days.

What good would a few days do

on a case that hasn't been solved for months?

Send the case files over

and quietly start planning your retirement.

My dear son.

-You like curry, right? -Yes.

How about we make some today?

Potatoes, meat, and onions.

What else do we need?

The most important ingredient, curry powder.

Oh, right.

Yu-bin, greenish potatoes

or those with black spots don't taste good.

Look at this one. See how smooth the skin is?

Those are best to make side dishes with.

Feel the texture of this one.

-Rough, right? -Yes.

These are perfect when boiled.

-Absolutely tasty. -When boiled.

And next…

Aren't those heavy? Should I take one?

As if. This much I can carry.

Dad, why don't we just cross the road?

There aren't any cars.

An Yu-bin, attention!

Traffic lights are meant to be obeyed.

It's wrong to ignore them for your convenience.

A real man obeys the rules

even when no one is looking

Got it?

Right. Sorry about that. That was stupid of me.

See? The wait wasn't even that long.

-Off we go. -You're the best, Dad.

Come on. One, two…

One, two, three, four.

The potatoes and carrots

should be cut into 1cm cubes like so.

The texture of the vegetables is best at this size.

But I hate carrots.

Can't we leave those out?

Yu-bin, if this were just for you and me, we could easily do that.

However, your mom loves carrots.

Oh, you're right.

-Dad. -Yes?

Don't worry about Mom.

What do you mean?

I'll keep learning how to cook and make meals for her.

Isn't that why you're giving me cooking lessons?

Yu-bin, that's not the case--

OWNER OF THE 1,000TH STORE

Yu-bin, how about I make you

carrot juice instead?

No way.

IN OUR FAMILY, MOM ESPECIALLY LIKES CARROTS

Dance is all about your inner confidence.

So don't be tense

and drop your shoulders back like so.

Good.

Just being here at the dance studio

already makes you a world-class dancer.

That's enough of an introduction.

Watch the demonstration first

and wake up your instincts still in deep slumber.

Louis the 60th, come on out.

Thank you so much.

-Please enjoy. -Thank you.

Here you go.

-Here comes the food. -Here's your order.

-Here you go. -You must be the new part-timer.

-Right. -You're totally my type.

-Miss. -Yes?

What's your name?

Please enjoy.

-Over here! -Coming.

My gosh!

Honey?

Chun-bok?

Are you kidding me?

I only asked you to raise our daughter well.

I don't care how fond of money you are. How could you think to work there?

There's nothing wrong with working there.

She only hired me to cook in the kitchen.

At a bar in our neighborhood?

One that's owned by Hae-suk of all people?

Is it because I embarrass you in front of her?

-What? -It is, isn't it?

I thought you were worried about me,

but it's because I embarrass you in front of your first love.

That's right. You embarrass me in front of her. Happy now?

What's so embarrassing though?

It's not like I've been doing anything bad.

I help out during the busiest hours

and earn a little pocket money on the side.

"Pocket money"?

If you're that fond of money, why did you marry me

instead of someone who can fully provide for you?

Why did you marry someone like me?

God damn it!

Is that the super expensive purse?

Yes. Honey, just look at it.

The color, the tone, and the design.

It's incredible, right?

I really shouldn't when she gives me expensive cosmetics.

Gosh.

Mr. An!

Were you about to leave without coming in?

I have…

cancer.

What?

I guess I'm really getting punished

for all the bad things I've done.

Mother.

Yes, Yu-bin. What is it?

After school today,

I made curry with Dad. Would you like some?

Not really.

I'm not feeling it, so I'll have some tomorrow.

But it's tasty. We even added a lot of carrots.

It's already late. Run along to bed.

Got it.

But Mother…

Good night.

I've been teaching my son how to cook these days.

You see, I've been too busy with work to properly spend some time with him.

Then you're doing well.

Spending time with your children

is actually better for you in the long run compared to earning money.

The memories you make will be priceless.

Yes, I couldn't agree more.

I don't know why I never got around to it sooner.

Are you sure you're all right though?

Yes, of course. I'm fine, sir.

Back in the day,

I believed that acting tough was a virtue I had to value.

It turned out to be wrong.

Acting tough all the time drives people away.

They assume that you don't need them.

So Mr. An,

if things are tough, just be honest and say so.

Have others lend you a shoulder to cry on.

Isn't that how life should be?

You're still awake.

I think Yu-bin's figured it out.

I know.

Why don't we be honest with him to ease his mind?

Yes, let's.

By the way, I signed the lease to my new apartment.

There was a good one on the market.

When will you be moving in?

It's currently vacant, so the day after tomorrow.

Let's tell Yu-bin tomorrow evening.

Sure.

-Tell me if you need anything. -Sure.

Jeong-hae.

Let's not tell my parents for the time being.

All right.

I found an apartment.

I'll be moving in two days.

That's great. Congrats.

Make yourself decent meals instead of living off cup ramyeon.

Is there anything you need?

Why? Will you buy it for me?

What do you need?

Jeong Jae-hoon.

It's you that I need.

Forget I asked anything.

But you'll be lonely without me.

Will you be all right?

I'm most comfortable when I'm alone.

Bye.

I HEART AE-RA

Pick up, darn it.

Mom.

I'll go by myself today.

Let's go.

Honey, just let Ji-uk go by himself.

CEO MOON HONG-RYEOL

Hey, Hong-ryeol.

You're free today, right?

Why would I be? I'm busy, you know.

Jang-hwan told me everything, you jerk.

Your blockbuster project sailed away.

Just get out here and earn some money on the side.

Where to? At what time?

I HEART JI-UK

17 MISSED CALLS FROM I HEART JI-UK

17 MISSED CALLS FROM I HEART JI-UK

Mom?

Ji-uk.

You can only be happy with someone who's in your league.

But Ae-ra isn't in your league.

So you need to end this now. Okay?

Do it while I'm nice.

If you keep seeing her,

I'll kill you.

I can't possibly film this movie.

I can't do it.

You'll be saving me, Hyeong-u.

Director Yoon says he can't work with Ae-ra.

This is inconvenient for me too.

I can't film a movie of hers either.

Are you kidding me? You said she's the best!

Hyeong-u, please do this for me.

If production comes to a halt,

I'll lose the production cost of 100 million won.

Please help me this once.

-Hyeong-u, please. -Fine!

You there. Lay out an electric heating pad next time.

-Got it? -Sure.

Let's get filming then.

We're ready.

-Camera. -Roll.

I love you. You trust me, right?

No, wait. Hold on a second.

You can trust me.

What's up with you today? We still have more scenes to go.

We got everything we need. Let's move on.

AD, follow me.

Sure.

Let's keep our private and public life separate.

Aren't we professionals?

I at least thought you were.

I heard you met my wife a few days ago.

Yes, she's quite the intimidating lady.

My wife snaps when she's furious.

She's not an unreasonable person though

and is considerate than most.

I'll try my best to change her mind,

so keep dating Ji-uk.

Actually, I'd rather not.

He got boring too quickly for me.

Anyway, I'll get back on set.

SON

THE LATE CHUN MAN-SIK

Do you know

who I wanted to see the most when I was diagnosed as terminally ill?

It was you, Jeong-hae.

But

seeing how happy you were with Gung-cheol

made me see red.

It brought out

the bitch in me again.

If I hadn't be counting the remainder of my days,

I might've

gone as far

as Jae-hoon.

As you know,

those who are weak and pathetic…

resort to blaming others.

I turned out this way

because of the choices I made.

Because I didn't want to admit it,

I kept making other excuses.

And my anger…

was pointed at you.

Sitting next to you

reminds me of the old days.

We shared a lot of good memories.

Aren't you going to tell

Gung-cheol?

If I do,

he'll make a big fuss over it.

He'll kick you to the curb to be by my side.

Are you sure you can handle that?

We're getting a divorce.

-Jeong-hae-- -Which is why

you can tell him.

I'll do it for you if you want.

No.

I don't want to die

being pitied by him, Jeong-hae.

Pity?

Gung-cheol…

never loved me,

not even for a moment.

He only pitied me.

Well, you're mistaken.

Gung-cheol

loves you, Hae-suk.

Do you remember the day

when I told you that

Gung-cheol and I agreed to date?

Truth be told, he actually rejected me that day.

He said he loved someone else

and immediately turned me down.

What?

And since then,

he has only loved

that same woman.

Cut. Okay. Good job, everyone.

-Good job. -Good job, everyone.

Good job, everyone.

Hey, AD.

-Yes? -Can you collect these for me?

-Good job, everyone. -You too.

Thank you.

Can we have a talk, Ae-ra?

My parents are getting a divorce.

Really?

It must be because I haven't been studying

and asking my dad to teach me how to cook.

That led to arguments.

Exactly. You should've studied when you had the chance.

Still, how's that a big deal though?

One out of three couples are divorced these days,

so hang in there.

Arguing all the time in the same house is more of a tragedy.

Besides, your parents are both competent.

Not my dad. He doesn't have a job.

I need to grow up fast and earn money.

Who knew I was this broke?

BICYCLE SIGNAL

An Yu-bin, attention!

Traffic lights are meant to be obeyed.

It's wrong to ignore them for your convenience.

A real man obeys the rules

even when no one is looking

Got it?

Kid. Kid?

Yu-bin? An Yu-bin!

-What's your emergency? -There was an accident.

-He needs CPR. -What's your location?

The crosswalk outside New Space Apartment.

Can you perform CPR, sir? Until we arrive--

I'm a doctor and in the middle of CPR.

Please bring a defibrillator and an intubation kit.

He arrested three minutes ago and I performed CPR for two.

His heart rhythm is back,

but he's non-responsive and has a weak pulse. Let's intubate.

Got it.

-Laryngoscope. -Got it.

Please hand me the tube.

Can you take over?

MY BELOVED DAD

Hey, Yu-bin.

It's me.

What the hell?

Yu-bin was involved in a traffic accident.

Meet us at the hospital.

-There was internal bleeding… -My boy…

Our Yu-bin. Where's our son?

Where is he?

Sign the surgery consent form first.

Pressure's building up in his brain due to excessive bleeding.

He needs immediate surgery, so please sign the consent form.

SURGICAL CONSENT FORM FOR AN YU-BIN

RELATIONSHIP TO PATIENT: FATHER

OPERATION ROOM, RESTRICTED ACCESS

What's his condition?

SDH.

SDH: SUBDURAL HEMATOMA

Due to a massive hemorrhage, he needs urgent surgery.

Jeong-hae…

OPERATION ROOM, RESTRICTED ACCESS

When will you be home?

Hurry home, will you?

-Your mom's close to losing it. -Dad!

I'm not going home until Mom approves,

got it?

We should go.

Ae-ra.

I'm never going to break up with you,

so don't even think about avoiding me.

I'll follow you to the ends of the earth.

You're drunk. We should get going.

Do you remember the first day we met?

I…

purposely tried to look uninterested.

I was worried I'd fall for you.

But,

now that I think about it,

you must've

won me over long before that.

Enough with the bullshit. Let's leave.

Just so you know,

every time I see you,

my heart aches for some reason.

My heart aches, but I miss you nonetheless.

So you're the one who should cut out the bullshit!

Know that

I'll try to grow even closer every time you push me away,

so don't bother.

Don't let anyone make you push me away.

Got it?

What do you mean by that?

I shouldn't let anyone make me?

-Ji-uk, take it slow. -Jeez, I'm wasted.

-You'll trip. -Shoes should come off.

Right. One at a time though.

Are you all right? Can you stand?

Yes, I'm fine. Come on.

-Where are you going? -Gosh.

You're completely wasted.

Are we already off to bed?

-Just lie down. -Gosh.

-Hello? -Ji-uk's with you,

isn't he?

Yes.

Are you free tomorrow?

OPERATION ROOM, RESTRICTED ACCESS

-Doctor. -We managed to stop the bleeding

and deal with the hematoma.

But the cerebral edema is worse than we expected.

-Then… -To reduce the pressure in his brain,

we've made an opening in his skull.

We'll keep an eye on him for a few hours.

If the pressure keeps building up though,

we'll discuss other options

such as coma therapy or therapeutic hypothermia.

COMA THERAPY: INDUCING A COMA TO SLOWER THE BODY'S BASIC FUNCTIONS

It would've been a different story had he been five minutes late.

The surgery went well though,

so let's stay positive.

OPERATION ROOM, RESTRICTED ACCESS

He'll be all right.

You know how strong

our boy is.

Of course, I know.

I'm suddenly drawing a blank as to what happened to us

over these past few months.

Same here.

All I can think about

is our little boy

helplessly lying in bed.

For the time being, let's only think about Yu-bin.

Right. Of course.

I will.

I'll only think about his recovery.

Yu-bin…

Goodness, Yu-bin.

Yu-bin?

Yu-bin?

Yu-bin?

Yu-bin, it's Uncle Hyeong-u.

My goodness.

Yu-bin, it's me.

Yu-bin…

Here. Drink this.

SOY MILK

Thank you.

Yu-bin…

One might think that you're the mother.

I still remember how he enjoyed eating at our house.

He promised my Pu-reum that he'd wait for her

until she graduated kindergarten.

Oh, no.

I'm sure he'll be all right. Hang in there, Jeong-hae.

-My gosh! -You're strong, right?

Right.

My Yu-bin…

His surgery went well, so I'm sure he'll recover.

Of course.

You see,

he was confident that he'd be able to get

better grades this time.

I bet he's faking it just to get out of taking the test.

We've all faked it once or twice at that age.

Yu-bin, we were all there for you

when you first came into this world.

Even in the incubator,

you stayed healthy and strong.

Of course. The strength you displayed

made us all proud.

Yu-bin,

just like before, they're here to root for you.

So get better soon, my boy.

Good luck. You can do it!

Hello, we're from the Traffic Division of Hajeong Seobu Police Station.

Mr. An, could you come with us?

As you can see, the hit-and-run driver was speeding.

We're assuming that the driver either took sleeping pills,

was under the influence of alcohol, or had no driver's license.

We won't know for sure until the driver's in custody.

Please wait at the hospital

and we'll call you as soon as we track the driver down.

Stay still!

I'll give you what you want, so stay still.

-Crazy bastard. -Stay still.

Stay still!

You're fucking crazy!

-Your soup's getting cold. -I'll give you what you want…

Tae-uk, the case will be sent to the Metropolitan Detective Division,

so why bother with any of it?

Just have your lunch instead.

Stop right there!

BICYCLE SIGNAL

Are you insane? Get out of the way!

What the hell? Unbelievable.

Yu-bin,

can I make a confession?

You see,

when I first found out I was pregnant with you,

I was overjoyed.

But I was also extremely worried.

I didn't think

I'd be a good mother.

You must've felt my agony

because you refused

to eat anything from that moment.

Kiddo, help your mother out, will you?

Kiddo,

I'm starving.

I'm sure you're hungry too.

Please help your mother out. I'm begging you.

Please help your mother out.

You must've heard us

because you came into this world the very next day.

To stop my suffering.

You left the womb even though you weren't ready.

Come to think of it,

you've been a great son

long before you joined us in this world.

But…

I don't think

I ever thanked you for it.

Yu-bin,

thank you…

so much.

Me too. I'm just as grateful.

You're back.

How did it go?

They'll catch the driver soon.

I see.

It must be why

Yu-bin now never skips his meals.

He's trying to make up for

not eating enough while in the womb.

Maybe you're right.

Jeong-hae, you should grab a bite to eat too.

You haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

I don't have an appetite. You go ahead.

I already have.

Should I get you some porridge?

Ga-yeon.

Hello.

Right. Welcome.

What brings you by? What about your classes?

Have you had dinner?

I don't have an appetite

and I'm not going to today's classes.

Nonsense.

You shouldn't skip your meals.

Should I get you something to eat?

Yesterday,

he laid out his worries on me.

His worries?

Our Yu-bin?

Will Yu-bin be all right?

Yes, of course.

That's enough suffering for Gung-cheol this year.

The world isn't that cruel, you know.

It only takes a split second for our lives to crumble.

What did Gung-cheol do to deserve this?

How can the heavens be this cruel?

Tell me about it.

Didn't you say there was a big issue at your house too?

It's nothing.

Compared to Yu-bin's accident, it doesn't even count as a crisis,

so don't be bothered by it.

Right.

Nothing can top the health issue of one's kid, right?

By the way, shouldn't we tell Jae-hoon about this?

Would Gung-cheol want to see him though?

He should still be in the loop. Hold on a second.

EROTIC HYEONG-U

-What is it? -Jae-hoon,

Yu-bin was in an accident.

A car ran into him and now he's in a coma.

-So? -"So?"

Are you kidding me with that response?

I'm busy, so bye.

Why? What did he say?

He's busy, so he hung up.

What? He hung up after hearing the news?

Yes! What a bastard, right? Some friend he is.

This is a new low even for him.

Was he serious just now?

Jeez, I'm late for work.

-I'll get going then. -I'm taking the day off.

I'm in no condition to work.

Chun-bok, are you all right?

-What? -Haven't you told Eun-sil yet?

I should,

but I can't muster up the courage.

What if your condition worsens?

Do it before it's too late.

It's why I've been taking dance lessons.

What? Dance lessons?

No, so shut up.

-Let go. Dance lessons? -Stop…

-Why are you learning how to dance? -Stop it!

You going somewhere?

I'm headed home for a bit.

Can you drive? Do you want me to take you?

I'm fine.

I'll see you later.

Jeong-hae.

Hang in there.

That I should.

Right now, I'm drawing from the energy that I should be using to hate you.

I see. Good thinking.

Gung-cheol is talking to Yu-bin right now.

Okay, I understand. I won't interrupt him.

He said that he was the reason why you two

were getting a divorce.

Because he was interested in cooking and not studying.

Because you don't have a job,

he said he needed to earn money fast.

Yu-bin.

What are you doing lying here?

You said you were going to make it big as an online content creator.

But look at you now.

Joining us today is future top chef An Yu-bin.

Hello, everyone.

I'm An Yu-bin, the 38th decedent of the Sunheung An clan.

I want to become a chef

because my dad who I love and respect the most

is a great cook.

My grandfather has always been against men working in the kitchen,

but no one is as cool as my dad when he's in the kitchen

cooking and washing the dishes.

But you get the worst grades at your school.

That's right.

I'm bad at academics and terrible at sports,

but a champion when it comes to eating.

According to my dad, eating well brings you luck.

It's why I wish to be a great cook just like my dad

so that I can spread the happiness.

You want to "spread the happiness?"

Jeez, you sound old.

What do you mean, "old"?

BICYCLE SIGNAL

Dad, why don't we just cross the road?

Traffic lights are meant to be obeyed.

It's wrong to ignore them for your convenience.

A real man obeys the rules

even when no one is looking

Got it?

Right. Sorry about that. That was stupid of me.

Yu-bin.

I'm…

so sorry.

There's nothing that important about obeying the rules.

But being the stupid man I am,

I told you a useless fact.

I'm sorry, Yu-bin.

If there aren't any cars around,

it's more than okay to cross the road at a red light.

What I told you was useless. Just useless.

I'm sorry, Yu-bin. It's all my fault.

Also,

your mom and I

are getting a divorce,

but it's not because of you in any way.

It's not because you don't get good grades

or because you wanted to learn how to cook.

It's just that your mom and I

were too exhausted to carry on with our marriage.

You're not the reason at all.

If only you knew how much we love you.

We…

care about you so much.

So I'm begging you, Yu-bin.

Please wake up for us.

I'm… I'm begging you, my son.

Please wake up, my son.

Please wake up.

Please wake up…

Yu-bin, please wake up, my son.

Please wake up.

Yu-bin, please wake up.

Yu-bin, please wake up.

Yu-bin told a friend of his

that he was worried about us

getting a divorce.

He thinks that he's the reason why we're splitting up.

That's what he said right before the accident.

He wouldn't have been in that accident if it weren't for that.

If Jeong-hae and I weren't getting a divorce,

none of this would've happened.

No, that's not it.

If only I hadn't told him to only cross at a green light.

He wouldn't have been in that accident.

That's right!

Yu-bin wanted to cross the road at a red light,

but I told him not to

because a decent person always obeys the rules.

If only I hadn't said such nonsense,

the car wouldn't have hit him.

I'm the crackpot here.

I should be punished for what I said.

How…

How is that damn rule important anyway?

People live perfectly fine doing as they please,

so why even bother?

Why bother being a decent person?

Why… Just why! How does any of that matter?

Easy, Gung-cheol.

Jae-hoon, please.

Please save my boy.

Save my boy and I'll do anything.

I'll do anything you ask me to.

So please help him live.

I'm begging you. Please.

Please save my Yu-bin. I'm begging you, Jae-hoon.

Please save Yu-bin.

Please save my Yu-bin.

What did I do to deserve this?

What did I do that's worth such a punishment?

Why take it out on my son?

Why did this have to happen to him?

Why…

Everything I believed to be right

came crashing down.

What navigated me in life and pushed me forward

is now gone.

At the age of 45,

which is not young nor old,

I lost my way.

So in which direction

should I now walk?

How am I supposed to carry on with my life?

STATEMENT

Joo Gang-san…

I killed him.
