DREAMING OF FREAKING FAIRY TALE

I meant it when I said you're no Cinderella.

You're more of a warrior than a Cinderella.

A brave warrior who can go anywhere you want.

You must have known when you were little

that you are stronger and more amazing than you think.

EP.10, TO ME RIDING A WHITE HORSE

Moon Cha-min,

why are you doing this to me?

How dare you tell me I am strong and amazing?

What happened to me?

I can't do this anymore!

Why do I have to put up with this?

Mom, please don't go.

I'll be a good girl.

Mom...

I was a child nobody cared about.

So I thought my life would be devoid of love,

unlike other people.

And since then I grew smaller and smaller.

SHIN GWANG-SU

May he rest in peace.

Honey.

Honey.

What do we do now?

What do we do...

Being insignificant, I thought I shouldn't cry,

so I couldn't cry with them.

It seems you hated yourself for a long time

because of that thorn you have.

But most of all...

I got it out.

Since I've always hated myself,

I couldn't tell you that I like you.

To be honest,

I was miserable because I couldn't love myself.

When I grow up, I'm gonna become

the invincible Cinderella on a white horse

who can do anything.

In the end, the prince on a white horse

who'll be with you forever is yourself.

Myself who loves me for me,

whoever I am, and bravely moves forward.

HEO YEONG-BAE

Huh?

-Hey. - Jae-rim, we're in trouble.

We didn't get a vacation. Chungdam Heaven went belly up!

Well, actually, they fired Mr. Moon

and everyone else, and they're gonna reopen.

What?

What about Mr. Moon?

He spent his time partying like a grasshopper,

and the winter came.

His dad kicked him out, and his wedding got canceled.

He's ruined.

What is he gonna do now?

What's the use of asking?

We're the ones in trouble.

Keep in touch, Jae-rim, okay?

Okay.

Moon Cha-min, what's going on?

Do-hong, you're such a nice guy.

So why?

I can't come with you

when I'm in love with someone else.

But you can't be with him.

I'm just following my heart. I'm sorry.

I'm not asking you to fall in love with me now.

I want you to become successful with me.

I'll help you.

You've already helped me enough.

What are you gonna do all by yourself?

I'm gonna believe in myself

no matter what.

I wanted us to be partners

because you turned my shame into pride.

Being with you will give me strength.

Not true.

You already have plenty of strength.

No matter when or where,

you can feel confident.

You'll be great in Berlin.

So, what should I do now?

I want to draw my own story.

But I have to make money

and learn more.

Yes!

I'll apply for an assistant job.

Let's take a journey

down the flowery path covered in thorns.

PORTFOLIO

Portfolio?

Oh,

I gave all the drawings I made to Baek-Dumb.

Should I ask him to give them back?

No.

I'll make new drawings.

Oh, my gosh.

What are you looking at?

You're smiling?

Don't bother me.

I'm gonna live a great life without you.

Shoo.

Shoo, shoo, shoo.

Oh, what the heck.

Darn it.

Why are you following me?

Don't be so pathetic!

Shoo! Go away!

Seriously.

I'm really busy today.

Don't follow me.

Oh, boy, I told you to stay still.

-Ouch. -Ouch.

I'm sorry.

Honey.

Hey!

Are you blind?

Can't you see my baby is hurt?

Hey!

Are you blind?

Baby! Are you all right?

Ouch, I thought my shoulder got busted.

Can't you see my baby is hurt?

What are you doing?

I'm being supportive for myself! Right, baby?

Yeah.

Uh, aren't you alone?

Yes, I am.

I'm single.

But I'm an invincible single woman who's got this.

Cool, right?

-You got some crazy eyes. -Goodbye.

My mom warned me about people like you!

Whoa! Chairman Ko is pretty useful.

High five.

Your owner was thrown out after partying every day.

I wonder where he is.

Follow your joy.

GUM FOR SALE

Here.

Follow your joy.

EXTRA LARGE COUNTRY BREAD

Nine... $9.99...

$9.99...

$6.00.

EXTRA LARGE COUNTRY BREAD

You, stop!

Follow your joy!

Oh, there's no way.

I'm sure he's doing great.

I should be worrying about myself.

Put that jerk behind you!

It's not like...

he was ever that good to me.

We don't have many shared memories.

When we were together...

it wasn't fun at all.

Moon Cha-min, you're such a jerk.

How can you make me miss you so much?

How am I supposed to forget the warmest moments in my life?

Huh?

Have his creditors been here?

How sad...

How can you rob a place that's gone bankrupt?

You bastard!

Ouch!

Mr. Moon!

What are you doing here?

You're the one who hit me out of the blue.

Why didn't you say something?

You should've said it was you.

Because I am a bastard.

Why? Because you drove your company to bankruptcy?

Or because you kissed me without permission?

Should I turn the lights off?

Would you like to hit me some more?

No, thank you.

But there is something I want to do.

Since you're not my boss anymore,

I'll cut the formalities.

I like you.

Huh?

Me?

You like me?

But I have nothing.

You gave me something better.

Thanks to you,

I saw myself in a new light,

and I finally like myself.

I'm very grateful for that.

That's why you like me?

I want you to hold me every day,

and I want to listen to your heart every day.

When I'm with you, my heart melts.

You are so warm.

But that's all I can do for you now.

Who cares?

I don't have anything either.

But if you're okay with that,

should we, fellow bums,

try our best to enjoy our lives together?

Why don't you stop talking?

Why?

You said this is something you can feel.

So why can't you feel me?

You like me a lot.

Although I have nothing right now,

I must say this.

I will only love you for the rest of my life.

Other women are all rocks,

and you're my only goddess.

I'm serious, so don't laugh.

Is it okay for us to be here doing this?

Why did you come here?

It's fine.

I found it.

Huh? What is it?

Uh,

well...

you.

Huh?

I wanted to become a prince again

and tell you I love you.

Oh.

Who cares about a prince when you're Moon Cha-min?

You mean that?

You're not gonna regret it?

Like someone once told me,

I'm gonna become a warrior on a white horse.

Oh, I can't believe how adorable you are.

You finally admitted it.

Actually,

I felt it from the moment we first met.

It took way too long for me to be able to say that.

I love you, Shin Jae-rim.

Me too.

EAT PIZZA

You haven't been eating, have you?

I'll buy you anything you want.

Pick everything you want.

In that case...

Shrimp and I believe the basic one is the best.

Combination.

As for me,

Hawaiian and sweet potato.

And I will pay.

Bon appétit.

Eat up.

Eat Pizza has great pizza.

It's delicious.

Girls, hurry up!

I'm home.

Mom, what's that?

I don't think that's a human.

He's too handsome.

He doesn't have a place to stay, so I brought him here.

Hello.

I'm Jae-rim's boyfriend.

My goodness.

My, oh, my,

my youngest daughter

met a great guy.

What are you talking about?

He has no place to stay.

She found a bum.

BUM

He was the CEO of Chungdam Heaven,

but he got fired suddenly.

Oh, so you became a bum overnight.

Don't be so rude.

BECAME A BUM OVERNIGHT

Welcome.

You look like you can support yourself with no trouble at all.

-How about dinner? -We ate.

He's just gonna sleep here tonight.

Just sleep?

Oh, I'm so, so sleepy.

-I should go to bed. -Okay, goodnight.

Girls, I want to sleep with you.

What are you talking about?

We have to finish watching the show.

I want you to read a book to Ho-bak.

Wait, we have books here?

-She's mischievous. -Ouch.

Here you go.

We're finally doing the switching places thing.

Will you be able to sleep?

What do you think?

Are you uncomfortable?

You're next to me, so of course I am.

Hmph.

I'll go to my room. Goodnight.

I'm not sure if I should be doing this.

What should you be doing instead?

Hey,

someone might see us.

They are asleep.

Come here.

Would you like to come to my place?

But you don't have a place.

Because of the Housing Lease Protection Act,

it's still my place.

Then why did you follow me pretending to be homeless?

Because I wanted to keep following you around.

I really missed you today.

You should've told me.

Let's go to your place.

No, we shouldn't.

Why not?

If I go home now, I'll be in deep trouble.

I'll be unleashed.

Why not just unleash yourself?

What's inside you?

Show me.

Give me time.

I'll become someone even greater and treat you like royalty.

I don't want to wait.

I have so much to do, too.

Hurry up.

What will your unleashing reveal?

Huh? Show me, show me.

Oh, just come here.

I came tonight to hold you like this.

You said I'm warm.

I might end up hatching.

Go ahead.

And be my little chick.

Little chick?

Chirp, chirp, chirp.

Hey, be quiet.

-They'll hear you. -Chirp, chirp, chirp.

Chirp, chirp.

So it's always the quiet ones.

This quiet one brought a man to our home

and showed us how it's done.

Get up, people.

How rude.

Good for you, daughter.

I love how impudent she is.

What's this?

Take it off me.

Huh?

Wake up.

Go back to sleep.

You couldn't sleep last night.

Oh, seriously.

Stop pushing me down.

No. We had G-rated fun last night.

You did?

-I said wake up. -Why?

Did you sleep well?

Chirp, chirp.

Whoa!

What is it?

Does it stink?

Why did you make fermented soybean stew?

It's not that.

This is my favorite.

But the rich people on TV dramas

find foods like this unfamiliar, and they can't eat it.

Oh, Jae-yong eats crispy seaweed noodle rolls,

and Yong-jin eats Jin Ramen with rice these days.

My goodness.

I was hoping he wouldn't be able to eat it.

Enjoy your meal.

-Eat up. -Thanks.

Wow.

It's hot.

I wonder if my son isn't missing his meals.

Get out. Get out.

I said you're not my son anymore, remember?

You know I'm a man of my word, don't you?

I don't need you either.

Then why did you come?

You said there's no such thing as love.

But there is.

I love you.

And aren't you doing this because you love me?

We are exceptions.

True.

But now that we're not family anymore,

I'm gonna live with my woman happily ever after.

Unbelievable.

I got thrown out penniless,

so all I have to offer is myself,

but she took me in.

Being handsome rocks.

Thanks, Dad.

I also have depended on my looks all my life, okay?

But there's no substance to this.

It's just a shell, silly. Get out.

Go and move out of your apartment!

I wanted to do one thing for you before I leave,

so I came to see you.

What is it?

I've already been disowned,

so I thought why the heck not and brought mom.

I told you not to trust that sly woman, didn't I?

Trusting is so old-fashioned.

I'm just gonna do what pleases me.

Don't you want to spend time with the people you love

and be happy?

You should choose

what kind of life to live.

Cha-min.

Honey.

Don't say a word.

Uh, well...

Love is to be felt.

I've never seen a job seeker as relaxed as you.

Don't be so hard on a job seeker.

Who knows what I'll become?

And I'm working on building sensitivity.

I actually am curious about what you might become.

Oh.

Remember how you got into trouble because you wanted

to pay someone to pray for your wish?

Yeah, I do.

Did your wish come true?

You did get a boyfriend.

I'm not sure.

My wish had nothing to do with Moon Cha-min.

He used to be so rude and irritating.

At least he's handsome.

-True. -I haven't seen them,

but I bet he's got well-defined abs.

I felt them briefly, and I think you're right.

Just like you wanted.

Too bad he has no money.

I'll have to support him.

Tsk, you got conned by your wish.

I think that rich girl punked you

to make you suffer.

What an inconsiderate and spiteful girl.

I don't agree.

I feel like I received a much better gift

than what I wished for.

SOWONDANG

I want a man like a Jindo dog.

I want someone devoted to me.

Could he look like a dog?

I'd prefer not...

SHIN JAE-RIM

Shin Jae-rim?

Oh, no.

My goodness,

I gave her the wish paper

but forgot to give her the talisman.

Isn't that bad?

I guess it wasn't meant to be.

You shouldn't forget yours.

Oh, boy.

Can you really make wishes come true?

That's my trade secret.

Secret.

A wish is something that comes true

when your faith, willpower...

-What the heck? - and the world work together.

Nobody knows

- their final product. -Are you going?

Bye.

Hi, Dad.

Son, come back.

You should take over the family business.

I'm old.

I don't work with people who give and then take away.

And I already have plenty of investors.

I'm gonna open Seongsu Heaven.

I was mean. Come back.

No, thank you.

I never worked hard, so I didn't know,

but I'm extremely talented.

My resume looks fantastic.

So this time

I'm gonna find my own white horse to ride.

I'll piggyback you.

Chungdam Heaven is yours now.

Don't be so mean to your dad, Cha-min.

Yes, I want to feel free to follow my joy, too.

So you have to work,

and I need to love.

Then offer me a deal I can't refuse,

the one that makes me the ultimate boss.

Follow your joy.

Mwah!

Suit yourself.

Hello?

Hello, I am Seong-eun, a producer at Channel EJ.

Is this Ms. Shin Jae-rim?

Yes, this is she.

I read Director Baek Do-hong's storyboard,

and I really enjoyed it.

He told me the story was yours.

Oh...

I didn't follow the screenplay

and just drew what I wanted to draw.

And the story kept straying off path,

as if I was Little Red Riding Hood.

That was the part I liked.

It was unique and kitsch.

I'm planning on creating short-form cartoons,

so would you like to join me?

Is this how luck strikes?

Are you free this Friday?

Yeah...

Well, I do have something, but I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Incredible.

Is this really happening?

Yes, because this universe

is surprisingly intimate and endless.

Hello, isn't it a beautiful day?

This universe has clever gifts

and marvelous connections in store for us.

LITTLE CHICK

LITTLE CHICK

Hi, Little Chick.

I miss you.

I'm on my way.

My dad told me that I couldn't reach success

by myself, and I'm beginning to understand it.

If I hadn't met you,

I couldn't have found myself

or seen this day come.

6 MONTHS LATER

Trying to give birth with my adult children around me

feels really weird.

Hang in there, Mom.

My stomach hurts so badly.

I brought this from home for moral support.

Shin Gwang-su, are you laughing?

How can you laugh, you bastard?

Wow, you look butt-ugly today.

Get lost.

Get lost!

Put that away.

Mom, relax.

Ho-bak is about to come into this world.

Ma'am, push.

One, two, three.

Shin Gwang-su!

Congratulations.

It's a girl.

This world is so tough

that being born might make you upset.

But there will be salt and light moments

where you'll be glad you were born,

moments that are savory and shining,

so hang in there and have some fun!

Finally,

as I've always dreamed, I've become a career woman.

However,

that's just my imagination.

This is my reality.

Huh?

Oh, your shoulders are tight.

Ah, that feels good.

But you know what?

I've been sitting here all day,

so my legs are hurting even more.

Fine.

He may be Prince Cha-min,

but when he's with the woman he loves,

he becomes a servant.

That feels good.

Why won't you be a Cinderella?

We never have enough time to hang out.

Then you be the grasshopper again.

Follow your joy.

But my joy is here.

Just once?

How may I entertain you?

No need to ask.

I'll take charge.

Sure.

This can't be why they rented this office.

They're not doing their work.

But you have to work.

You said you'd work hard.

The short-form series is much more popular

than I expected.

Jae-rim, don't you think you owe me for this?

I'm the one who made the introduction.

You better be good to me.

I will.

Actually, it was thanks to me.

Whenever she was struggling,

I massaged her as hard as I could.

Ugh.

No matter how tired I was, I never once said no to her.

My coffee played a part, too.

And so did my bread.

Jae-rim, you got so lucky.

Shall we all watch it together?

No matter what people say,

never forget that the star of your life is you

and write your own fairy tale.

Then any hardship you suffer will become just another page,

any villain will turn out to be just a supporting role,

and everything you experience will become a journey

toward your dream.

And eventually,

you will find your happy ending.
