Original subtitles

- What... - Gosh, hello.

The door was open. Goodness me.

I came by to apologize.

The last time I was here, I was too upset...

that I wronged you in the worst way possible.

I'm terribly sorry.

By the way, is Director Ko home from work?

- Mom? - What?

Do Sik, why are you here?

What?

Mom? Who's your mom?

Is she your mom?

Are you telling me that you're her son?

You see... Yes...

She's my mother.

My gosh.

Hold on a second. The older brother to the late Do Ra.

Were you the son that was in middle school?

My gosh.

- Mom! - Mother!

Do Sik, is this true?

Did you...

go out with me knowing who I was?

No, I figured it out when I came here today.

I had no idea.

You crazy dolt. Are you dating this old hag?

Is that why you were here with her family?

Who on earth are you calling an old hag?

Mom, don't refer to Myung Dong like that.

Hold on.

How dare you date someone from this rotten family?

My gosh. You're leaving with me.

- You imbecile. Come on. - But...

- Mom, wait. - I'm home.

- Myung Dong, I... - Come on!

- I had no idea. Believe me. - Come with me.

- Myung Dong... - Do Sik!

- Myung Dong! - Come on!

- Hyun Chul, get Myung Dong. - Right.

- Where are you going? - Myung Dong!

- My gosh. - Hey.

- What on earth? - What...

- What's going on? - I can't believe it.

How could you date that old hag?

- Do Sik. - Hey.

How dare you call my son's name?

Don't even think about dating him.

Myung Dong.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

You are to stay away from her.

- Got it? - But...

- What? - Why are you being mean to Do Sik?

Get back inside!

Please don't tell her off. Myung Dong did nothing wrong.

How dare you call her like she's your junior?

You're unbelievable.

As if being old is anything to brag about.

- What a disgrace. - I'll call you.

- Come on. - You have to call me.

- Gosh. - Let's go.

Goodness.

What are you staring at? You've never seen a person before?

Stay out of it. How dare a country bumpkin butt in?

Let's go!

- Hey, you! - Come along.

Hey! Get out of here!

Get lost, you rotten skunks!

How dare you try to snag my daughter?

Gosh.

What happened?

They escorted him in with such a welcoming manner.

Wait. Let's see.

The guy Myung Dong is dating is the crazy woman's son?

Gosh. That's no joke.

How did Myung Dong end up with the son of a witch?

Oh, gosh. I'm against it too.

But did I see that guy from somewhere?

He looked familiar.

You fool, Park Do Sik!

Get a grip. Are you out of your mind?

We might be penniless,

but how can you date a pathetic older girl like her?

When you were in middle school she was in university!

We don't go around with our ages stamped on our foreheads.

You'd never know Myung Dong was that old.

So don't call her a pathetic older girl.

What did you just say? My gosh.

Look at you! Good grief.

At first, I treated her politely...

as her older age dictated I should.

But after a while, she felt like a younger sister.

I couldn't help it that I wanted to protect her.

You saw her yourself. She has a pretty face.

She looks young for her age too.

What? She felt like a younger sister?

Gosh. You really do have a loose screw.

Okay, fine. You didn't know who she was.

But now you do, so break up with her.

End it.

Her family and ours are sworn enemies.

She's a member of our enemy.

How can I leave someone I love?

How can I end it?

We got back together after a long detour.

What? Are you my son?

Do you know how those women treated me?

If that's what you'll say, go somewhere and off yourself.

- Go and die somewhere. Get lost. - Hey. Don't.

Sit up, Myung Dong.

Sit up right now.

You...

The fool you said you slept with. Was that the guy?

Was it?

Don't ask.

Why even ask that in this situation?

It was him.

What should we do now?

What should we do?

Hey. How could you go around dating someone like him?

What's wrong with you?

Were you wearing rotten fish eyes when you picked him out?

You liked that I chose him.

You said you liked him.

Things have changed since then!

Don't you know how things are?

His family.

They lost everything after Park Do Ra died.

They're penniless!

Mom.

Did you like him then...

because he gave me a diamond ring and you thought he was rich?

But now we should break up because he's poor?

How can you say that about the same guy?

What?

I can't do that.

I can't break up with Do Sik.

You...

Myung Dong.

He's the son of the woman...

who killed your sister-in-law's father.

Do you think Hyun Chul and Sun Young will let this happen?

It's a no.

That wasn't Do Sik's fault.

What did you say?

Hey, Myung Dong.

Forget about everything else.

If you marry...

a penniless man like that at your age,

your life will be full of torment until the end.

You'll walk right into a life of turmoil.

Mom. I'm okay with that.

I told Do Sik I'd support him.

I asked him out by offering to support him.

You did what? Are you stupid?

Why should you support him?

He's not your son!

I'd rather you offer to support me, you idiot.

Will you stop it?

Be quiet!

- You darn brat. - Stop it!

I'd rather you just die.

Die single, you wench.

You stupid brat!

Goodness.

What should we do now?

I bought a 200-dollar fruit basket...

at a department store,

and you ruined it.

I need to impress Ko Pil Seung...

and get Do Do a role.

The investment we got went into the old car and expenses.

- What will you do now? - Darn it.

Oh, gosh.

Right.

Mom. As we left Myung Dong's place,

you called someone a country bumpkin.

When I saw her, I almost called her "Do Ra."

What are you on about?

I don't know.

I saw her and thought she was Do Ra.

You fool.

How dare you compare her to our Do Ra?

With eyes like that,

it's no wonder you fell for an old girl.

Myung Dong isn't old.

She has a baby face.

She what?

For your mom's sake, you'd better break it off.

Impressing Ko Pil Seung is our priority, you punk.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, no. Myung Dong has gone!

Myung Dong is missing. She has gone.

- Mom. - What?

I told you to watch her.

Did she sneak out to see the guy?

It wouldn't be that.

She won't go to see him,

not when she knows who he is.

She must've gone out to get some air.

I bet she went to see him.

Where else could she go this early?

She won't pick up.

There's no point in trying.

Are you home?

Hey.

Isn't it that witch's voice?

What? What the heck?

Goodness.

Why are you here so early?

What business do you have here?

Oh, my goodness.

I wronged you in so many ways.

I came to apologize.

Why are you on your knees?

I share a one-room apartment with my son.

I've done all sorts of things since Do Ra died.

I washed dishes at a diner...

and sold gimbap at a subway station.

I did anything to go on living.

But this was the one trade I knew how to do well.

It was all I could do.

So I got back to it after many struggles.

The station director...

I used to work with offered to help me out.

All I needed was an okay from Ko Pil Seung,

and the actress I represented could've gotten a role.

I mistakenly thought Director Ko said no...

because he had a grudge against me.

I got so upset and distraught that...

I did some things to you that no one should do to anyone.

I'm so very sorry. I want to apologize.

So, Director Ko isn't...

He left for work very early.

Will you please apologize to him for me...

and tell him to take pity on me?

And ask him to look at me with favor and put in...

a good word for me. Please?

Well, okay.

Why would you say "okay" to that?

Have you forgotten what she did to us?

Tell her to quit the nonsense and get out.

Tell your son to leave my daughter alone!

They can't stay together. Okay?

You needn't worry about that at all.

And about your in-law...

I'm sorry about what happened to him.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart.

How dare you?

She should get into acting herself.

She's putting on a great show.

What should we do now?

I thought about it all night.

I can't live without you. What about you?

Me neither.

I don't want to imagine life...

without you, Do Sik.

Let's hold hands tight and get through...

all the hardships.

Love blooms through trials.

Your family must've been shocked to realize who I was.

They can't accept me right away...

after what my mom did.

I'll go on my knees and apologize for what she did,

and then gain their approval.

Do Sik. Will you really do that?

Will you be there by my side?

Of course.

- Darn you! - Mom.

How dare you come crawling back here?

Mother. Put this down and talk instead.

You think talking will resolve this?

Leave this instant. Don't sit there another second.

- You crazy fool. - Myung Dong.

Why did you bring him back here?

Did you not see this coming?

Mom, can't you give Do Sik some slack this once?

He didn't do anything wrong.

Let go of me. And you stay out of my way.

Mother, I apologize for what my mother did.

And my feelings for Myung Dong are sincere.

"Mother?" How dare you?

You punk. There's no way I'd be your mother-in-law.

I will never have a son-in-law like you.

- Get out! - Mother.

I don't think today is a good day. We should leave now.

Get up.

I'm really sorry, Mother. I will come again soon.

I'm so sorry.

Hey! Myung Dong!

Bring Myung Dong back.

Hey! You silly brat!

You can't beat him like that, Mother.

- Oh, dear. - Gosh.

My goodness.

Mother, the thing is,

I'm in love with your son.

What?

How dare you have feelings for my son?

You shameless brat.

- How dare you? - My goodness.

I'm going to kill you!

My goodness.

Fine.

I don't want to end up...

getting beaten up with a broomstick because of that mean director...

who keeps trying to stop me from doing what I want to do.

I shouldn't be with him.

It's a good thing I decided to give up on him.

Ji Young, why did you get here so late?

Jae Dong, what brings you here?

Why? Is something wrong?

Here's a script. Get practicing right away.

You have an audition tomorrow.

What are you talking about, Jae Dong?

How would I go for an audition?

I'm not capable of auditioning for a part.

I'm sure I'll get cold feet.

Ji Young, I'm not telling you to pass the audition.

It's only for the experience.

You should learn from experience.

I guess you have a point, but...

And if you pass the audition,

it will change your life.

This audition is...

for a second lead role.

- A second lead? - Yes.

Gosh, that's too big a part for me.

Seriously, I don't know anything about acting.

I can't do this. I'm scared.

This is how a star is born.

It's not like all the stars did well from the beginning.

This is how you build up your career.

- Are you serious? - Of course.

Ji Young, trust me.

There is no turning back.

We will just go for it and work towards our goal.

You got this. Here.

You can do this.

Director Ko.

Did you want to see me?

- Jae Dong. - Yes?

Your new agency, Popcorn Entertainment.

I love the name.

I hope it will pop up on the scene and hit the jackpot.

I will give it my best shot. Thank you.

By the way, Jae Dong,

why does Ji Young have to be the first actress at your agency?

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

You know Ji Young is simple-minded and clumsy.

She's totally out of touch with the real world.

How would a person like her become an actor?

It's not that anyone can become an actor.

You need to have quick wits to make a good actor.

I'm just saying this because I care about you.

I'll find someone better for you.

You should terminate the contract with Ji Young, okay?

Director Ko. I mean, Pil Seung.

Don't you think you're being ridiculous?

You know Ji Young is good at acting.

But why do you keep speaking ill of her?

I just don't understand why you're being like this.

I believe Ji Young will make a good actress.

Jae Dong.

Do you remember the day...

when I was eating tteokbokki, sitting on the ground?

And you got me some steak, so I was very grateful.

I'm saying all this because I want things to go well for you.

I want you to succeed.

Ji Young isn't the right choice for you.

Okay, I get it. I'll think about it.

Jae Dong, you mark my words.

I have to stop Ji Young from becoming an actress.

But why wouldn't he listen to me?

What? Did Director Ko speak ill of me?

Yes, he did.

He says you're simple-minded, slow-witted,

and out of touch with the real world.

He also says your clumsiness embarrasses him.

He doesn't even think you have the face to be an actress.

What?

Did Director Ko really say that?

Ji Young.

We need to talk.

What's there to talk about?

A woman like me who is not pretty enough,

slow-witted, naive, and simple-minded...

doesn't deserve to talk with you.

I mean, I wouldn't understand what you said.

Well...

What are you talking about?

These are the exact words you said. Why are you acting flustered?

I heard the whole thing.

CEO Lee Jae Dong told me...

how you said I wouldn't make a good actress.

But...

I didn't go that far.

Whatever.

Strangely, after hearing what you said about me,

it makes me want to succeed as an actress even more.

Thank you, Mr. Ko.

For keeping me so motivated.

I'll make sure to pass the audition tomorrow.

Wait...

This is driving me crazy.

(CEO Gong Jin Dan)

What the heck.

Hello, Ji Young. It's me.

We have one meal left to enjoy.

What about today?

I'm sorry, Mr. Gong, but not today.

I have an audition to prepare for.

I'm too busy today.

Maybe some other time.

I see. Okay.

Bye.

What?

Did she just refuse to go out with me?

Did she even know what she was doing?

I was just being nice to her because she looked like Park Do Ra,

and now she's getting all cocky.

What?

(Tae Hee)

Hello, it's me, Tae Hee.

Yes.

Tonight?

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I was there at Michael's birthday party in New York back then.

- Really? - Yes.

That day, I told Tae Hee...

that she would probably end up falling for you.

And then you two met again,

and you're now going out with marriage in mind.

I got goosebumps when I heard that.

- Gyeong Hwa, are you serious? - Yes.

I guess you are meant to be together.

Congratulations on your wedding.

You should come to our wedding.

I'll order some more for you.

- Let's have some wine. - Fine.

I should focus on Tae Hee.

Now isn't the time to care about that country bumpkin.

(Actress Jin Saet Byeol Tried to Take Her Life)

(She Suffered From Depression Due to Malicious Comments)

(Breaking news: Actress Park Do Ra Died)

(Breaking news: Actress Park Do Ra Died)

You called me out at this late hour...

just to tell me once again...

that I shouldn't get into acting?

Director Ko, I only ask out of pure curiosity.

If I become an actor,

will that cause a great deal of loss for you?

I'm worried about how this could hurt you.

I don't want there to be trouble.

Why do you only think...

that something bad will happen to me?

I told you this before.

I don't have what it takes to be an A-list celebrity,

and I'm not doing this to become one.

Studying theater brings me joy and that's it.

Ji Young, you know.

You know how Park Do Ra died.

You read the articles about her.

Director Ko...

Park Do Ra.

Do you know why she died?

Do you know how much pain she was in...

when she died?

She was criticized by the whole world...

and was condemned.

She was driven to the edge of the cliff...

from where she jumped.

I can't sit by...

and let you suffer like her.

If anything happens to you as well,

I won't be able to live with myself.

The thought of you ending up like her...

terrifies me.

Ji Young.

Please.

Do not become an actor.

I don't want to lose you too.

Why do you keep mentioning...

Park Do Ra to me?

I'm not her.

And even if something just as bad happens to me,

I won't take my own life.

I am a strong woman.

I survived after suffering dozens of injuries...

from being knocked around in the sea.

I even survived all those life-threatening surgeries.

Nothing will bring me down.

So don't mention anything like this to me again.

I'm Kim Ji Young,

not Park Do Ra.

That's right.

You're not Do Ra.

You're Kim Ji Young.

Kim Ji Young.

I keep forgetting that.

Director Ko must like me for real.

He was being this way because he didn't want me...

to get hurt like Park Do Ra or end up like her.

The last thing he wants...

is to lose someone else he cares about.

What am I supposed to do now?

Why does my heart ache so much?

No.

I'm still going to go my own way.

I will do what I want.

Really? Did they break up?

Yes, she said so when she called last night.

Then why hasn't she come home?

Could she be with him but have lied to you about it?

As if she'd be scared of any of us to lie at that age.

If that had been the case, they would've gotten...

their own place to live by now.

I guess.

She has a friend called Jang Mi,

and she will stay with her while she gathers her thoughts.

She must know they can never be together.

Besides, disapproval will only light the fire hotter.

Just ignore the matter.

Right. So when Myung Dong comes home,

don't say anything about it to her...

or yell at her regarding the issue.

- Myung Dong... - What?

Are you just getting back?

Myung Dong,

are you sure you two broke up?

Did you end things?

Yes.

How can I not end it when everyone's against us dating?

Really?

Did he say he'd gladly end things?

Do Sik wanted to break it off as well.

Why would he want to date me...

after getting smacked by you with a broom?

Gosh, what a relief.

It's like I finally got rid of a sore tooth.

If you think about it,

that crazy witch would give him an earful as well.

Of course.

Any sane man would back off.

Now that I won the screenwriter contest,

I'm only going to focus on my writing.

I'll do my best...

and make a name for myself as a screenwriter,

so don't worry about me.

It seems as though they ended things.

She finally managed to date someone,

but it had to be him of all people.

Goodness.

It breaks my heart.

Gosh.

Do Sik, it's me.

I just told my family that we ended things.

Really? I told my mom as well.

Did she believe you?

Of course, she did.

Right. Then we'll meet up tomorrow.

Sure.

Sweetie...

I love you.

Right. I love you too.

("Don't Lie")

What the... Have I lost my mind?

Yes, I've lost my mind.

How did this happen?

Oh, no.

Gosh.

What now?

Hold on.

Oh, dear.

Why aren't there any available cabs?

Ji Young, hop in.

My gosh.

Why would I get in your car?

You're late for your audition, so get in.

You might drive me someplace else so that I miss my audition.

Forget it.

Have it your way, then.

Be late for your audition.

If you don't get in now, you won't get to audition.

I'll be your cab driver today.

Think of me as one.

I'll put you out just for today.

Please step on it, sir.

If you drop me off anywhere...

other than where the audition is taking place,

you'll have another thing coming.

Got it.

I'll make sure to drive you to the right place.

(Open audition for "Passion")

Thanks for this.

This is for the ride here.

You called it a cab yourself.

I paid the fare, so you didn't do me any favors.

Ji Young.

Why? Did I not pay enough?

Since you're doing this,

I hope you get the role.

Got it?

What?

Right, sure.

Ji Young.

Break a leg.

What?

"Ji Young?"

He's now calling my name as if we were friends.

What's up with him?

Ji Young.

You can do it. Go, Ji Young!

That's so cheesy.

What's up with him?

That's right.

You're Kim Ji Young.

Kim Ji Young.

Unbelievable.

Even the likes of you came to audition as well.

Can't I go anywhere without running into this hillbilly?

The feeling is mutual.

That's not how you talk to your elders.

You won't get any roles speaking in a dialect like that.

As if my speaking in a dialect is any of your concerns.

That darn brat.

She has no manners.

(Open audition for "Passion")

I'm sorry I left without saying anything, Kang Ho.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me leave.

Kang Ho,

I felt guilty being by your side...

all while looking my best and in good health.

But the last thing I want is to be with you...

when I'm ill and sick.

If you love me,

understand my situation,

and don't look for me.

Thank you for everything,

Kang Ho.

That hillbilly...

plays her character just like...

Do Ra used to.

Why am I feeling this way?

What on earth?

(Open audition for "Passion")

Miss.

Can we have a word?

What now?

Don't you dare pull my hair again.

I won't hold back this time around.

Come on.

I only want to have some tea with you.

What?

Why would I have tea with you?

It's not like you and I are close enough...

to enjoy tea together.

Fine. We'll talk here, then.

Unbelievable.

You see,

this is who I am.

So?

Come on.

I'm sure you know actress Park Do Ra.

I'm Baek Entertainment's CEO Baek Mi Ja.

The one who made Do Ra the star she was.

And?

You little brat.

Miss.

Join my agency.

I'll make you a star.

Forget it, lady.

I'd choose not to go into acting rather than sign with your agency.

I'm a woman of dignity.

Why that... Seriously?

But she has what it takes.

Hold on. Do Sik also said this,

but why do I see Do Ra in her?

How peculiar.

Ji Young.

Why are you still here, Director Ko?

Did you do well at your audition?

I was so nervous that I can't even remember how I did.

My legs are still like jelly, and my head's spinning.

The fact that I was at an audition doesn't seem real at all.

When will they post the result?

By the end of this week.

But honestly, I'm not getting my hopes up.

My heart is about to burst...

just because I was able to audition.

It's as if I became that character just now,

and my body is tingling.

I had so much fun...

that I don't mind not getting the role.

Were you excited to the point that your heart almost burst?

Yes.

Why do you keep asking me how it was?

Why?

I bet you wanted me to flop.

That's why you want to know how I did.

That's right.

I bet I didn't get the role because you prayed...

that I wouldn't.

That's wrong.

I prayed for your success.

Really?

Yes.

After we talked last night,

I gave it a lot of thought.

It's what you badly want to do,

so what gives me the right to stop you...

from doing what excites you?

Many of us don't know what we want in life,

but you found something you're passionate about.

It didn't seem right to get in your way.

Well...

You changed so drastically overnight...

which is hard to adapt to.

Last night,

I said those things out of concern.

I'm truly worried about you.

Gosh.

You must make it a habit to be worried.

Just look at me.

I could never think to go that far.

Besides, even if something like that happens to me,

I can go home to my grandma...

and live my life quietly...

catching octopus and harvesting clams,

so don't worry about me.

We should go somewhere.

Where?

Since you're doing this,

I'll take you to a place that could help you.

What? No, I shouldn't.

("Ma Ri's Prince")

No, Ma Ri. Don't do that.

Please don't come by my workplace again.

If this is how it's going to be,

I won't be able to consider you even as a sister.

I was sad to hear that,

but I'm not upset with him anymore.

I love how prickly he is.

He's like a protagonist from a romance novel.

But I really want to marry Mr. Ko.

Could there be a way?

Yes, that's it.

That way, I could marry him.

What's this?

"Mom, Dad. Don't worry about Gong Ma Ri."

"I'll return after my important plan is done."

My goodness.

Madam Jang!

Do Jun. Ma Ri left without her phone...

and only left this note.

Did she tell you anything?

Do you have any ideas?

She has only been to art class...

and to visit your friend in Heukseok-dong.

She didn't care about anything else.

- Really? - Yes.

But...

she did say something odd.

What did she say?

That drama director.

She said she planned to make him a prince husband.

A "prince husband?" What plan?

I asked but she said she'd tell me later.

Okay. You can go to your room.

Okay.

Then did she leave...

to make Pil Seung a prince husband?

Goodness.

She gets such strange ideas.

She was and will be a nuisance her whole life.

Darn it.

Goodness.

Did she really go to see Pil Seung?

(Pil Seung)

No.

If he'd met Ma Ri, he'd have called me.

Goodness.

Hey.

Hi, Soo Yeon.

Sun Young.

I'm sorry to ask, but is Ma Ri at your place?

No, she didn't come by. Why?

What? Ma Ri's gone missing?

Okay.

I'll call you right away if she comes here.

Okay, bye.

Where did she go?

I hope nothing bad happens.

I love Mr. Ko's room.

It's so cozy.

But why is he never around?

Honey.

Shouldn't we file a missing person's report?

She left a note telling us not to worry.

Let's wait a little longer.

What's this noise?

The room's empty.

Am I hearing things?

Gosh. That was so close.

Why isn't Mr. Ko home yet?

I'm so sleepy,

and it's cramped in here.

I hold you in my arms.

Time means nothing.

I hold you to my chest.

Our youngest son Jeon Seung.

He doesn't know anything.

He can't tell a dream from reality.

How was the play?

Director. I think the actors are so smart.

How do they memorize all those words...

and make people laugh and then cry?

How do they do that?

Just the thought of being on stage...

made me so nervous my mind went blank.

I could never do that in this lifetime.

That's why I told you not to.

You wanted to get into acting without considering that?

Why do you nag whenever you get the chance?

You could at least teach me first.

Ji Young.

Listen carefully to what I say.

Okay.

First, you must ditch the dialect.

I'm working on that right...

now.

This was the first play you saw, right?

Yes.

How could an actor wannabe not see any plays?

Go and see many plays and movies.

And watch dramas too.

When you're on a street, in a cafe, or in a store,

don't just walk about mindlessly.

Carefully observe how people talk and what faces they make.

And watch the news when you can.

You need to know what's going on.

And you must read lots of books.

You can tell an actor who has read a lot...

from one who hasn't.

The bottom line is you can't be ignorant.

"Ignorant?"

Is that what you're calling me?

I don't know why...

I came all the way here to hear this.

That darn dialect again.

I've talked like this my whole life.

I can't change how I speak overnight.

- Can I? - You have to.

If you want to act, do it properly.

You can't be a good actor with a mindset like that.

I won't eat.

Even dogs are allowed to eat in peace.

If you nag at the end of every comment,

how am I to even swallow a mouthful?

You're the king of nagging. The complete worst.

Sit back down.

I won't say a word while you eat.

Finish your noodles.

I heard your stomach rumble.

Don't regret it later and eat while you can.

Gosh, the broth is amazing.

It's so good.

It is good.

Director.

You helped me out a lot today.

Thank you.

- Good night. - Wait, Ji Young.

Ji Young. Good job with the audition.

This is a gift to commend you for your hard work.

Thank you.

Why would you give me flowers for attending an audition?

The finale to any date should be flowers.

What date?

All I did today was see a play and get an earful from you.

How is that a date?

Don't even use that embarrassing word.

Ji Young.

Who took you to the audition today?

I was forced to ride with you,

but I gave you the taxi fare.

Either way, I got you there in time.

You did.

And the play we watched helped you too.

Yes. It did.

Ji Young. That's a date.

I...

really like you a lot.

Whenever you're in need or in trouble,

I want to help...

and be there for you.

What did you say?

And you like me too.

I'm not sure what's holding you back,

but I want you to pluck up your courage now.

That's right.

I like you too.

Director Ko.

I'm not good enough for you in many ways.

So please stop stirring my heart.

We can't say who's not good enough for whom when we like each other.

Things like that don't matter when it comes to love.

Ji Young.

You laughed a lot because of me today.

And you liked the noodles you had with me.

You are pleased and happy when you're with me.

Let's just go out as we did today.

This is our first day as a couple. It's settled.

You can't take it back. Good night.

Okay. You have a good night too...

What?

No, I take it back.

I take back that I said okay.

Kim Ji Young, have you lost your mind?

"Okay. You have a good night too."

Why would you say such a thing?

Do you think this is the first day?

No, there's no way. Why would you go out with him?

I guess I fell for his smooth moves for a moment today,

but it won't happen again.

Director Ko is...

such a fox.

A fox that bewitches me.

Kim Ji Young.

You better pull yourself together.

Keep it together.

This is our first day as a couple. It's settled.

You can't take it back. Good night.

Okay. You have a good night too...

What?

No, I take it back. I take back that I said okay.

She pretends she doesn't like me, but I know she's into me.

How cute.

Why has she been acting like that when she had feelings for me?

What is this sound?

Did I forget to turn off the music?

That's not it.

I guess I was mistaken.

What am I hearing?

I think someone's snoring.

Is it a ghost?

Or a thief?

Mom! Dad!

My gosh.

Mom!

Dad!

- Pil Seung, what's wrong? - Where is it?

Hey, where's the thief?

Pil Seung, where is it?

What...

- You... - My goodness.

- My gosh. Ma Ri. - Ma Ri?

- That's Ma Ri. - What?

My gosh. I was so startled.

- How... - Oh, dear.

My goodness. Ma Ri.

What were you doing in there?

How long have you been in there?

Well... So the thing is... I was...

Pil Seung, what happened?

I have no idea.

When I lay down to sleep, I heard a strange noise.

It turns out she was snoring in the closet.

It frightened the life out of me.

My gosh.

I also heard it when I came into your room...

to leave your clothes.

Ma Ri, have you been...

hiding in the closet since the afternoon?

Yes.

But why? Why did you do such a thing?

Because I wanted to marry Mr. Ko.

- What? - What?

If I spend a night with him,

he will have no choice but to marry me.

That's why I was hiding in there,

but I ended up falling asleep.

I'm such a fool.

My gosh.

- My goodness. - Gosh.

Hello, Sun Young.

What?

Ma Ri has been hiding...

in Pil Seung's closet so far?

- Let go of me. - Ma Ri.

- I don't want to go. - Why are you being like this?

I'm not leaving. Mr. Ko.

- Let go of me. - Stop calling him.

Pil Seung, you should go back to your room. I'm sorry.

- Let's go, honey. - Wait.

- What do you mean "wait?" Just go. - Hang on.

- Go to your room. - Are you okay? What's wrong?

Ma Ri.

- Let's go home. - Get off me.

I don't want to go. Can't I crash here tonight?

- Ma Ri. - Ma Ri, you want to get in trouble?

How dare you say such a thing?

Please let her stay here.

She can sleep in my room.

Just let her do what she wants.

Gosh, no. I'm really sorry.

Grandma says I can stay.

She's my friend.

I don't want to go home. I want to stay here.

Why are you... My gosh.

What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like a child?

You can't be making a fuss at this time of night.

Please don't scold Ma Ri too harshly.

We don't mind her staying here.

I don't even know how to apologize to you.

I'm really sorry...

that my daughter is making a fuss and keeping you up at this hour.

It's okay. We really don't mind.

Please don't worry about us.

I'm sorry, Sun Young.

Hyun Chul, I apologize.

- It's really okay. - Gosh.

We will get going then.

- Good night. - All right.

- Good night. - Good night.

- Let's go. - Ma Ri, let's go.

Gong Ma Ri, why did you go there?

Why were you hiding in Pil Seung's closet all day?

Mom, I'm really upset.

I was going to spend a night with Mr. Ko.

But I fell asleep and started snoring.

So Pil Seung found me and my plan failed.

Gosh, Ma Ri! What did you just say?

You were going to spend a night with Pil Seung?

Yes. I wanted to make a baby with Mr. Ko.

If I spend a night with him and make a baby,

we can get married.

Hey!

Honey, what do you think you're doing?

She says she was going to spend a night with Pil Seung!

She wanted to make a baby with him!

- Honey. - Come here!

But you can't slap her like this.

I hate you! Why did you hit me?

I just wanted to sleep with the man I liked.

What's wrong with that?

That's what...

the main characters in a romance novel do.

I'm going to do whatever it takes...

for me to marry Mr. Ko.

I really like Mr. Ko! I want to marry him!

- You can't! - Honey.

Honey, please.

Let go of me!

Honey.

What do I do? What am I supposed to do?

What should I do with her?

What do I do?

What do I do?

Mom, where are we going?

Are you going to beat me up when Dad's not around?

Are you going to pinch me?

I won't change my mind no matter what you do.

Do anything to hurt me, and I'll tell Dad.

Mom, why did you bring me here?

There aren't any people here, and I'm scared.

Let's hurry home.

I want to go home.

Are you going to keep throwing yourself at Pil Seung?

Will there be a repeat of yesterday?

Yes, I'll throw myself at him until he marries me.

Ma Ri.

You can't marry Pil Seung.

Why not?

Am I that wrong to like Mr. Ko?

I'd be crossing the line if he had a girlfriend,

but he doesn't.

I'm allowed to like him.

You married Dad who you liked,

so why can't I have that too?

Ma Ri, you...

You can't like Pil Seung.

Even if Pil Seung likes you back,

you two can never get married.

It can never happen.

Why not?

But I want to marry him at all costs.

Ma Ri.

Pil Seung...

is your brother.

He's your biological brother.

My biological brother?

What do you mean by that?

Ji Young, it's bad!

Why? Did something happen?

It's an urgent matter, so I'll tell you on the way there.

Hurry!

- Your seat belt. - What? Oh, right.

What on earth is it?

Is it something bad?

I got us movie tickets, and we needed to hurry...

to have time to buy popcorn.

Director,

was that the urgent business?

Did you just con me?

Con you? That's a harsh way to put it.

I only said that...

because it'd be a waste to be late to see a movie.

I'm such an idiot.

I let him play me again.

Director Ko, you liar.

But he's such a cute liar.

Should I let myself like him?

No way.

I shouldn't fall for him.

I wouldn't be able to look at Ms. Kim anymore.

Will he still accept me...

if I tell him how I feel after I make it as an actor?

Should I ask him to wait for me until then?

Wasn't the movie enjoyable?

It was. The movie itself was great,

but I was mesmerized by the actors.

I want to know how one can perform like that.

To be a good actor, you need to watch a lot of movies.

Let's keep seeing many movies together.

He's so nice to me...

that I can't help myself from being swayed.

Should I let him sweep me off my feet?

Pil Seung.

Did you give her a ride home again?

Ji Young.

I thought I made myself clear the last time we spoke,

so why did you get in his car again?

Mom, what's wrong?

(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

I don't understand anything you told me.

You're the worst, Mom.

How could you abandon a baby?

Don't be on Ji Young's case again.

I'm the one who likes her...

and wants to be with her.

Please don't fall for Pil Seung.

I'm begging you.

Your elders are right about this.

I'm not good enough for you.

Ji Young and I agreed to date starting today,

so please respect her...

as my girlfriend from here on out.
