INTERN ANNOUNCER JUNG DA-JEONG,
TALK OF THE TOWN

ANNOUNCER JUNG DA-JEONG
HAS TWINS IN HIGH SCHOOL?

HUSBAND HONG, A REPAIRMAN

FORMER HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL MVP

BEST SERVICE!

JUNG DA-JEONG IN ARBITRATION FOR DIVORCE

JUNG DA-JEONG'S OTHER MAN IS
A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT?

A 37-YEAR-OLD MAN BECAME 18?

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HER
AND HER 18-YEAR-OLD HUSBAND?

Are you going home now?

Yes.

Wasn't Si-u awesome today?

He's getting better and better.

Right.

Oh, congratulations on your win today.

One second.

Your shoelace is untied.

-It's okay.
-I'm almost done.

Double knot

to stay in place.

People say you'll meet the person

you're meant to be with
when your shoelace is undone.

Double knot to stay in place.

All done.

Get home safely.

Okay. Thanks.

Hey, Da-jeong.

I'm glad you got to watch
Si-u's last game in person.

What do you mean?
Aren't they moving onto the finals?

The team is advancing to the finals.

But players like Si-u
can only play up to the preliminaries.

Kids who paid their dues diligently
should play in the big games.

You're disgusting.

Don't you feel bad
for those hard-working kids?

Man.

Whatever. I plan on holding
another parent-teacher meeting

before I set the line-up for the finals.

But if this is your attitude,
there's nothing more to say.

Call me if you change your mind.

Professor Yoon of K University

will be summoned by the police
regarding the claim of sexual harassment.

On Scene 25 Hours is always
waiting for your tips on crimes.

Can On Scene 25 Hours handle
admission fraud cases?

Of course. They begin right away
if there's evidence or witnesses.

ANNOUNCER JUNG DA-JEONG

-Boss.
-Hey! I told you not to call me "Boss."

-Right. I'm sorry.
-I told you many times already.

How many?

I'm here to see your boss. Is he in?

Pardon?

What's your relationship with him?

I'm Il-gwon's friend.

I see. Mr. Choi won't be here tonight.

Should I call him?

No, I'll call him.

Sure.

I checked with them,
and I think Il-gwon is the owner.

I'll look into it.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, yes.

Yes, I'll head there right now. Okay.

Honey.

I'm going out for a moment.

-Hey, you're home.
-Yeah.

Right, when is your championship game?

Don't expect me to play.

The starters might change,
and I might not get to play.

What? Why would the starters change?

I have no idea.

Il-gwon, congrats on
taking your team to the finals.

It's just the high school league.
It's nothing to celebrate.

I'll be coaching a college team next year,

so I don't even care.

Oh, right.
Someone else is taking that position.

Wait, what?

We had no other choice.

You're not mad, right?

Of course, not.

When a position opens up
at Hanguk University, it's yours.

Hold out at your high school until then.

Yes, do that.

Fine.

Here's Gi-yong's father.

This way, please.

These are the coaches
from Hanguk University.

They'll help a lot with his admission,

so I wanted to let you meet them.

I see. Nice to meet you.

-Hey.
-Hello. We've heard a lot about Gi-yong.

I see. Thank you.

Please help him out.

But it's way too late tonight.

It's a shame,
but let's meet up again next time.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Bang.

Excuse me, Mr. Bang.

Thanks for the drinks.

Don't worry about Gi-yong's admission.
Okay?

Thank you. Goodness.

Hey, guys. Please make sure
you get me that position next time.

Of course.
It's definitely your turn next time.

Okay, guys. Please do that.

Of course. We mean it.

Hello?

It's me. Hong Dae-yeong.

What? Hong Dae-yeong?

Hey, what's going on?
I can't believe you called me.

Il-gwon, I heard everything.

Yes? So what?

You make a living
teaching your beloved basketball.

Why are you exploiting kids to make money?

Beloved basketball?

By whom? Me?

I paid tens of millions of won
all through school

just to play in the games,

but I was always anxious
about when I may get booted.

You shouldn't do that
if you know how it feels.

Why must you do the same?

Hey. I need to make back
as much as I put in, asshole.

I may get take bribes from kids
to let them play in games,

but doesn't my life seem
way better than yours?

How dare you try to lecture me?

I'm hanging up!

Damn it, what a shitty day.

Mr. Bang?

-Who are you?
-I messaged you before. I'm Si-u's mom.

You said you were busy, so I came myself.

We'll manage our son's life,
so mind your own business.

I'll get all the parents of the players
for a discussion on Saturday night.

You can make it, right?

Of course, I can.
But do you think they will come?

Don't worry about it.

I've got a plan already.

What are you guys doing with my phone?

"Accomplice."
You have to put in that word.

Next. Report. Report and accuse.

Sent.

I'm Ko Deok-jin, Ko U-yeong's father.

I'd like to call an emergency meeting
regarding Coach Choi's corrupt behavior.

And FYI, those who don't show up
will be considered accomplices.

My attorney will report you
and file a complaint against you.

I'll see you at 8 p.m. on Saturday
at the gym.

-So today, that--
-I'm not going. I'm not!

-What's that?
-Why should I go to a parents' meeting?

Please do this just once.

In exchange, I'll clean, do the laundry,
cook, and wash the dishes.

That's your job already.

You're right. Of course, it's my job.

-What kind of a dad is he?
-His son isn't his maid.

Then I'll pay more for my living expenses.

Hey, you made him pay for living expenses?

Of course. Why should I let him freeload?

I'm not a philanthropist.

He takes money from a teenager?

I still can't help you.

Hey! Even she's helping me out.
Why won't you?

To be frank,
there's no reason for her to help me.

-But you should.
-Why should I?

You're my dad!

You only say that when you need me.

Do I look like a pushover, asshole?

I'm asking you to be a dad.
Stop freaking swearing.

Exactly. Why should I act like your dad,
you fucking asshole?

You fucker.
You've never been a dad for me.

I even pay you.

Then pay for the water too, asshole.

And the property tax, asshole.

Fuck you, I have no money.

Do you know how much
my property tax is, you asshole?

Then put it in my name.
I'll pay the tax, you fucker.

-Then try it.
-They're both insane.

-That woman is weird too.
-Stop that, asshole.

-Let's go.
-Fuck you!

I'm not going, period!

-What is this?
-Why did he call us here?

-What is he trying to do?
-I'm busy.

-How dare he tell us to come?
-Come on.

-Who is that?
-What is this?

-What does he want?
-Who does he think he is?

I'd like to thank everyone for showing up
despite your busy schedule.

I'm not going!

I'm calling Ms. Ok there too.

-Ms. Ok?
-Yes.

She cares a lot about the students.

So what if you show up,
take charge, and resolve this issue?

-What would happen then?
-She'll end up falling for you.

Really?

Thank you for coming.

Of course, I should be here.

I gathered you here today

to have Coach Choi Il-gwon fired.

Enough is enough.

I was also a talented basketball player
here at Serim High 18 years ago.

My son learned to play from me,
so he's also awfully talented.

Is that true?

Yes.

Even 18 years ago,
there was a coach who demanded money.

However, my parents didn't give it to him.

Why? Because he had faith in me.

That's why I can stand here before you
with nothing on my conscience.

Hey.

What does that have to do with Coach Choi?

My alumnus, Choi Il-gwon,
hasn't always been a bad guy.

But do you know
when he began to go astray?

CHOI IL-GWON

Do you have it with you?

So he'll start, right?

Of course.

Listen up. I'll kill you
if you tell anyone about this.

Okay, fine. I won't tell anyone
that your dad bribed the coach.

Shut your mouth!

CHOI IL-GWON

Ever since that day,
Il-gwon began to demand money from me

and he began to beat me.

I thought he became a new man
after he began to teach.

But he's still taking money,

just as that coach did to his dad
18 years ago,

from us.

Do we want to raise our kids
to be an awful adult like Il-gwon?

-Is he serious?
-He's so brazen.

-That's his true color?
-That's awful.

He was like that?

I'm against this.

If we testify, we'll all be punished.

He's right.
Our kids will have to live with that too.

We can't ruin their future.

-He's right.
-No way.

-We can't do that.
-That can't happen.

Can any of you
stand proudly before your children?

Did any of you tell your kid
that you've been bribing the coach

to send them to college?

It may be

impossible for us to be parents
our kids are proud of,

but we shouldn't be their shame.

I am

ashamed of you, Father.

Playing basketball will be
a precious dream for our kids.

If they find out their dream was
a result of their parents' crimes,

how would they feel?

I'm sure they'll be disappointed in you,

but they'll blame themselves more.

They might start to blame themselves
thinking you broke the law

because they weren't good enough.

But still, we can't blow this up
right before an important game.

She's right. It'll take a long time
once the Ministry of Education

begins their investigation.

-Are we giving up on this game?
-We can't!

-What are you going to do now?
-What's their plan?

How about this?

I recently found out

Coach Choi has been operating a bar.

-A bar?
-He must be insane.

I'll report this
to a current affairs program.

If that blows up,

it might speed up the investigation

I just received the documents. Thanks.

Gi-tae, please take a look at this.

FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS

-Is this authentic?
-Can it be used as evidence?

We can get started right away.

He's here. Let's go.

I'm Nam Gi-tae of On Scene 25 Hours.

Are you Coach Jung Dae-ho?

Yes, what is it?

We got a tip about Hankuk University's
basketball team admissions bribery.

I'd like an interview, please.

We didn't.

You know this is important, right?

There was no bribery.
What do you want me to say?

Turn off your cameras and go.

Please calm down.

Damn it. I'm here.

So why are the police here?

I have no idea.

You need to hurry, boss.

Damn it. Fine. Bye.

-Hello?
-Hey!

What the hell have you been doing?

Why? What's up?

JBC came to our campus.
They're covering admissions bribery.

What? JBC?

Da-jeong, you were right.
This is Il-gwon's bar.

The employee confirmed it.

Da-jeong, you rascal.

Da-jeong, damn it.

I'll see you at the gym.

This is your last chance.

My last chance?

All right.

I'll give you that damned last chance.

I'm not recording this.

Fine. Let me hear you out first.

What is this chance you're giving me?

We just got your employee's statement.

The police will bring a search warrant
and investigate your illegal ownership.

Then the bribe you received
from the parents

and gave to the coaches

will be exposed.

Turn yourself in before it's too late.

You're trying too hard.

But you know what?

The bar is in my brother's name.

You can't catch me even if you report me.

It'll be possible
if the other parents testify.

No way.

Their talentless children
get to play basketball thanks to me.

Why would they report
a kind teacher like me?

You call taking bribes to let them play
and get them into college "teaching"?

Who's sending them to college?

-What?
-They have no faith in their kids.

That's why they keep begging me.

So I took some money and consoled them,
saying they'll go to college.

They probably enjoyed
imagining their kids getting into college.

Wasn't that worth their money?

How can someone like you be a teacher?

How dare you lecture a teacher?

Let me make myself clear.
I'm not going down alone.

If something happens to me,
I'll tell them that you bribed me too.

Then your career as an announcer
will be finished.

I never

gave you any money.

Gosh, really? Then…

I'll say you did me another favor.

Choi Il-gwon.

You blew your last chance.

You need to stop pissing me off.

Who do you think you are
to give me a chance?

Who's that?

Man. Damn it.

Why are you here?

To get a corrupt teacher locked up.

Did I not beat you up enough back then?

You've aged, but haven't matured.

Il-gwon, when will you ever grow up?

What now? Hey.

Stop it!

Hey, man.

You might break your arm. Move it away.

Who are you to testify?
Why would you do that, asshole?

That's enough!

Goodness.

Mr. Gu, how long were you there?

I am going to testify for her.

Everything you just heard is
a misunderstanding.

They kept challenging how things are done,

so I made it up to scare them.

Also, everything is set
with Hanguk for Ja-seong.

You need to send him to college.

College? You're no freaking teacher.

What did you say?

Then I'll give Ja-seong's spot to Gi-yong.

I'm going to testify too!

Wait.

-Me too!
-So will I!

-Me too.
-I'm in.

-Me too.
-Same.

Why are you all here?

I'll report this
to a current affairs program.

If that blows up,
it might speed up the investigation.

Do you think the problem will be resolved
just because we tell a TV program?

It can be resolved

if all of you testify
regarding what happened.

I'm not so sure yet.

I don't know whose side I should take.

To be frank, it's not like
we can trust everything you say.

In that case,

I'll show you
what Choi Il-gwon is really like.

Please hear me out first.
I can explain everything.

I kept all the receipts
for the drinks I had to pay for you.

What do you mean?
You wanted to pay for us!

In that case,

I'll give Ja-seong's spot at Hanguk

to Gi-yong.

Think about it.

I don't need that!

I'll make sure I get you locked up
with those jerks from Hanguk University!

Damn it, man!

Do you think anyone will believe you?

I'll report all of you people
for defamation.

And none of your damned children
will ever play basketball again.

You dickhead.

What? Dickhead?

Hey, I'm holding myself back
from beating you up,

so keep your mouth shut.

You know it's over.

Wake up and admit your crimes.

Admit my crimes?

How dare you
treat a teacher like a criminal?

Hey, that hurts!

That hurts. Come on.

We got a report of an assault.

Who's the assailant?

-That man.
-Shit! Ae-rin!

Hey, let me go.

That's self-defense.

That jerk did this to me,
so she helped me.

Everyone here saw him.

-I did.
-So did I.

-Yes, I saw him.
-Me too.

-I saw him too.
-We saw everything.

Damn it.

Why? Ouch. What is it?

What did I do?

Save it.

Hey, mister. What did I do wrong?

Let me go, will you?

Let me go!

Come on. Let me go.

KO DEOK-JIN

Watch it, will you?

Sorry.

CHOI IL-GWON

Il-gwon.

If you're better at dodgeball,
make the switch.

Don't steal a starter spot
from better players.

SERIM HIGH SCHOOL

Mr. Hong, five million won is all I need.

I can't do that.

Is that Dae-yeong's dad?

Then he paid his way to be a starter too.

How dare he say that to me?

Coach, I can't do that.

Mr. Hong. This is standard
if you want your son to play basketball.

How can someone working for school say
a bribe is "standard"?

Let me make myself clear.
I will let the school know

if you give him any disadvantage
because of this.

Do you understand?

Of all the…

I'm here in the bar operated unlawfully
by Choi, a high school teacher.

Choi, an admissions fraud broker,
violated the Public Service Law,

demanded money from parents
for letting their kids play

or start in games
and for his entertainment.

What's more shocking is
the use of violence on parents.

That jerk said… I mean,
he said another teacher was watching.

Only if he didn't make up that lie…

As you can see,
the assaulted parent is in deeply confused

and traumatized from the ordeal.

Who is that?

-I mean…
-I'm not sure. Who is that?

I can't believe this.

Choi, a high school coach,

along with Im and Jung,
coaches at Hanguk University,

will be detained
on charges of admission fraud.

The Basketball League
has announced their plans

for a thorough investigation
of high school teams on admission fraud.

The 13 parents who took part in this fraud

have been put on probation
due to their wrong choices,

but we'd like to show our appreciation
for stepping up and exposing the truth.

Reporting with On Scene 25 Hours,
I'm Nam Gi-tae.

I knew you'd end up
causing trouble eventually.

You always let me down,

and you've let me down yet again.

Did you ever…

have faith in me?

What?

Have you ever

taken my side even once?

If you were any good, even for a moment,

I would have!

I spent a fortune on you!

A high school coach is what
you ended up becoming?

You good-for-nothing.

You're good for nothing.

I spent so much money on you!

I wanted your life to turn out well--

But I didn't!

Did I?

It didn't turn out well.
Why do you think that is?

Why…

Why do you think I'm like this?

Loser.

I wish to share my deepest apology

for causing our students and parents
deep pain and shock

regarding the recent shameful events.

I promise to bring positive changes
to Serim High's basketball team.

I'd like to introduce our new coach
and the parent representative.

This is a statement from the parents.

The key is that we won't bribe you
even if you demand it.

I understand. Don't worry.

-Please do your best.
-I'll do my best.

That's all.

Are you okay?

You were questioned by the police.
Is the company okay?

Our company isn't that weak.

You don't have to worry about that.

But you have to earn your way from now on.

Okay.

Mom.

Thank you.

-Please do a great job.
-Of course.

Goodbye.

I'm not even a real dad.
Why should I be the representative?

Damn it.

Mr. Ko.

Ms. Ok, when did you get here?

I was here from the beginning.

You were very cool today.

I-I was cool?

I know you worked hard
to resolve this matter.

It's belated,
but I'd like to share my gratitude.

For today as well.

I'll see you later.

She'll see me later?

Ms. Ok.

Let's have coffee next time.

Sure.

Si-u.

I want to apologize
for everything I've done

to you.

I couldn't take it
that you saw my dad hit me.

It killed my pride.

It wasn't even your fault,

but

I took it out on you.

I'm so sorry.

-Jin-cheol?
-Da-jeong!

Have you been well?

Yeong-jun must be big now.

He is. He's a big boy now.

You gave us so many gifts
through Dae-yeong.

We got so much from you,
but we never got to return the kindness.

Don't mention it.

I wonder if Dae-yeong is doing okay.

He must be heartbroken after he got fired.

What?

He was… fired?

Didn't you know?

Dae-yeong didn't get the promotion
he expected,

but got transferred to Busan.

He complained to the manager, but…

I'm only holding myself back

for my family.

Your family? Goodness.

I pity the woman and the kids
who trust their lives with that loser.

It's obvious they're losers too.

-Grab a drink.
-How dare you!

I'm quitting my job today!

No man in this world
would let others insult his family.

He stood up against the manager

and got fired on the spot.

Okay. Let's eat.

Since when do you eat this?

You used to love toasted sandwiches.

You remember that.

But my taste buds began to change
with age too.

Really? What do you like now?

I still like sandwiches,

but I love blood sausage soup too,

just like you.

You've gotten old, too.

I am old.

But I feel like a young boy again,

coming here to eat this with you.

Si-a loves this, so I had it often.

Okay. Let's eat.

Okay.

Goodness. That has to be dry-cleaned.

I feel like I'm raising two sons.

Come here.

Your mom said that all the time.

Did she?

Da-jeong always grumbled
that she was raising three kids.

I still feel bad for Da-jeong
whenever I think about her.

She had to raise kids and work
at such a young age.

It must have been overwhelming,

but she looked after me, too.

Father, is the food okay?

Why did you make so much food?

I brought plenty of side dishes,

so don't skip your meals.

And you can heat the ox bone soup in a pot

and throw in some chopped green onions.

All right. I'll do that.

Father, don't forget to check
your blood pressure every day.

And I wrote down the instruction
nice and big.

HOW TO USE THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR

I set the temperature high.

You'll be able to sleep well now.

You didn't have to get me this.

Goodness.

She was very thoughtful and tended to me.

I put her

through a lot of trouble.

Has your work been tough lately?

It's not tough.

You should look after yourself.

Thanks for your concern.

You should look after yourself too.

Okay.

Mom!

Hey, Si-a.

You're going home now?

Yes, what about you?

I came to see Si-u.

I'm dreading school.

Again? Why?

Our festival is coming up.
It's chaotic and cliche.

Why? They'll turn into wonderful memories.

He's right. They'll become
wonderful memories.

Do you have a nice memory
from the festival?

A nice memory?

What was it?

What?

You know,

it was chaotic and cliche.

Come to think about it,
festivals are lame.

I knew it.

-The school festival is coming up.
-Yes.

Take a look at the duties,

and raise your hand for the one you want.

First off, who wants to prepare
the photo exhibition?

The three of you?

Our team cleaned the gym already.

Cleaning the gym is the easiest.

Forget it. Stop that.

I'm in too.

Okay, U-yeong can join them
to prepare the exhibition.

Then you can pick up the album
and head over to the Music Room.

-Okay.
-Okay.

But…

And next.
Who wants to set up the outdoor stage?

Nobody else?

-Shit.
-Then cleaning is next.

All done, then.

PHOTOS FROM PAST FESTIVALS

DURING THE FESTIVAL

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

No, you're not.

Goodness. That's going to bruise.

Let me take a look.

Don't touch her.

Why? Can't I touch her?

No, you can't.

Why not?

Because…

your hands are dusty.

What? Your hands are dusty?

Man, look at my hands.

Did you touch me with those hands?

Darn it.

Bo-bae, let's pick up the albums.

-Okay.
-Darn it.

You okay?

Darn it.

Hey, Ji-ho.

What?

By any chance,

do you like Si-a?

Mind your business.

Man, he does like her.

That little boy grew up
and is now getting jealous.

You're such a cutie. Goodness.

But you can't be with Si-a.

All guys are wolves.

No, never.

No, never. No one can date her.

Why are you mumbling to yourself?

Why are you here?

I would've been here
if it hadn't been for you.

Anyway,

do you like Si-a?

Of course, I do.

Romantically?

Are you crazy?

That's absolutely horrifying.

-Not at all?
-No, never.

That's ridiculous.

-No it isn't.
-What?

I like Si-a as a girl.

So don't even dream

of getting between us.

Si-a is mine.

What did you say?

Are you deaf? She's mine.

Yours? She's yours?

I-I'm sorry.

But old man, who are you?

What? Old man?

What was that just now?

Don't make it obvious
in front of the others.

Stay quiet.

I'm not going to stay quiet.

I'm keeping my daughter safe.

Goodbye.

Is something up?

Yes.

What is it?

To be honest, I…

Hello.

-Why are you here?
-Why would I be at a store?

I heard you got a new coach.

Is he all right?

Yes. Hey,

are you worried about me?

Worried, my ass. I was just curious.

Here.

This one is for you.

Why are you giving this to me?

It's buy one get one free.

I want only one. I can't throw that out.

Hey, Ji-ho.

Why? I thought you were throwing it out.

Why are you all here?

Aren't you leaving?

You aren't either.

I'm waiting here to walk her home.

Why would you do that?

Why do you think?
Because this world is a scary place.

Goodbye.

Great work today. Goodbye.

Okay, goodbye.

-Si-a, let's go.
-Okay.

Why are you two still here?

Your dad asked me to do something.

What did he ask you to do?

I'll tell you on the way.

You two can go home.

Let's go.

What are you doing? Come.

Okay.

Bye.

-That punk.
-That punk.

Man.

So, what do you think about them?

Them?

Ji-ho and Ja-seong.

Not as friends, but as guys.

Have you gone insane?

I've been friends with Ji-ho for a decade.
He's not a guy to me.

And Ja-seong makes me angry
whenever I think of how he bullied Si-u.

Man, he's so annoying.

Hey.

Don't go into that dark alley.

That's the shortcut.

It's too secluded and dark.

And there are no surveillance cameras.
Take the lighted path.

It's dangerous enough
to walk around at this hour.

Stop nagging. I'm not a kid.

You are a kid. And here.

Carry this around.

It's a personal alarm.

You take it.

Your dad asked me to give it to you.
Take it.

Si-a.

Mom!

Are you two coming together?

No, he walked me home.

You're late.

I just got off work.

It's late, so you should go home too.

Okay.

-Get home safely.
-Okay.

Let's go.

Bye.

Was I interrupting?

What are you talking about?

There's nothing going on between us.

Why are you getting so defensive?
Suspicious.

I mean it!

Gosh, it really isn't like that.

10:10 p.m.

Met with his family.

10:30 p.m.

Returned home, didn't come out.

Target observation complete.

The plan will be

executed tomorrow.

OBSERVATION 35

Da-jeong, would you come with me
for a minute?

What is it?

Don't be shocked, everyone.

I just heard from Mr. Park

that only three of us will become
permanent employees.

Then what about the other one?

They're fired, I guess.

You haven't heard about this, have you?

-I didn't know.
-I didn't either.

Me neither.

Are we going to let them do this?

Let's check with HR first.

If it's true, why don't we stand together

and tell them this is unfair treatment?

The company already made the decision.

Will anything change
just because we complain?

Then what?
Sit on our hands and let them do this?

What can we do? This is reality.

We have to do our best to survive.

Yu-mi, it'll be useless
unless we speak up together.

You all seem very emotional right now.

Try to be more rational.

And if you want to complain,
the three of you can do it.

Please excuse me.

She's so cold-hearted.

Is she saying the battle is on?

What do we have? I'm on current affairs.

Ja-yeong, education and the radio.

Yu-mi, that little brat,

variety shows and baseball.

And Da-jeong has…

I'm the only one without any programs.

I'm sure you'll get a new offer soon.

He's right, Da-jeong. Don't worry.

Hello.

Are you Ms. Jung Da-jeong?

I'm Park Hui-seong, the variety director.

And this is our writer, Lee Bo-ra.

Hello.

-The PD came himself.
-Exactly.

It's a special pilot program,
and we want you to be the host.

If it does well, it'll be picked up.

The host?

That's huge.

Why are you giving me this offer?

DESPERATE MARRIAGES

It's a show about divorce.

We really want you to host this show.

I see.

PROGRAM PROPOSAL
DESPERATE MARRIAGES

Those are materials
from last year's event.

It overlaps with this year's event,

but the material for this year's version
is on its way.

Are you trying to buy time like before

for your son, who's my fan?

He's not a fan anymore.
He's more like a hater.

That's weird.
My performance was getting better lately.

He must have gotten more jealous
because you're doing well.

You're already better than him
in every aspect.

Pardon? What do you mean?

How can you make me run…

Hey.

You're Mr. Ko's son?

Hey, it's nice to see you.

Is this what you need?

That's it. Wait for me outside.

I guess he really hates me.

I told you.

Anyway, since the new document is in,
let's go over it and discuss it.

Sure.

That's insane. They told you
to host a show about divorce?

But I might get fired if I don't do this.

What? Why would they fire you?

Only three of us will pass the training.

But I'm the only one without a program.

Ae-rin, if I take the offer,

please help me out.

I'm getting frustrated.
Let's grab something spicy.

No, thanks. I lost my appetite.

Come on, let's go.

You always had spicy food
when you got stressed out.

Next time.

It's obvious
you haven't had anything to eat today.

Da-jeong.

Hey, Ji-hun.

I really like this town.

I see you whenever I come here.

Are you here on business?

I am. I came here on purpose.

-What?
-I came here on purpose,

on business, to see you.

I mean it.

Look over there.

-Hey.
-I finished my business, came out,

then spotted you as you walked by.

Have you eaten? How about dinner?

Sorry, but I had a late lunch.

Then could you just sit with me?

I can never eat alone.

Gosh, I'm starving to death.

I don't have any energy either.

The cook here is unbelievable.

Her spicy stir-fried pork
in particular is amazing.

-Hey, Auntie.
-Hey, Ji-hun.

Why haven't you been coming lately?
I was sad.

I'm sorry. I was busy during the season.

Hey.

Aren't you Jung Da-jeong?

Oh, do you know me?

Of course, I do. I'm a huge fan.

Anyway, what's going on between you two?

She's the first woman you brought.

She's a friend. Don't jump to conclusions.
Spicy pork, please.

All right.

Auntie, throw in lots of chili powder
and make it extra spicy!

Lots of chili powder?
He can't even eat spicy food.

Whatever.

All right, now. Let's make this spicy.

Man, this is so good.

My stress is all gone.

Da-jeong, try some.

It's okay, I'm fine.

Come on, it's really good. Just a bite.

Okay, then.

It's really good.

Right? Eat with me.

Auntie, one more bowl of rice please.

Ms. Jung!

Please leave us an autograph.

An autograph?

I had a celebrity customer.
I want to put it up.

Excuse me!

I'll be there soon!

Can you sign it and leave it
on the counter?

You're much prettier in person.

This is odd.
I've only signed contracts before.

Hey, wait.

Don't sign that yet.

I use this glove for my games.

-And?
-Give me an autograph first.

I'm your first fan.

-What?
-Come on.

This is an important occasion for me.

Okay.

Thanks.

Oh my gosh. My insides are burning.

You'll always have my support.
Jung Da-jeong.

She has no programs?

No. Then someone came and made an offer
to host a divorce program.

What does she want to do?

She thinks it's her last chance.

Then she'll have to do it.

What?

People will talk once it airs.

Who knows how people will react?

It might make things harder
for Da-jeong and your kids.

I'm sure she's aware.

But if she still thinks
it's her last chance…

and that she has to do it,

I'm sure…

she isn't making this decision
only for herself.

That's so pretty.

That's awesome.

It's so pretty.

Our kids grew up so quickly.

I wish they'd take their time.

I know.
It's sad to see them grow so quickly.

They won't come here with us anymore
when they're older, right?

It's fine. We can come by ourselves.

Dae-yeong.

Actually, I have the result
of my announcer interview.

Really? How did you do?

I didn't make it.

Don't say that with a smile.

It was nice.
When I went in for the interview,

I was happy just from the fact

that I was in a TV station.

That's why I want to give this a real try.

I want to show our children
how I keep trying and challenging myself.

In the end, I'll make it,

and have them think of me
as an awesome mom.

Good. I know you can do it.

-Look at that.
-That was huge.

Will you all be late?

GROUP CHAT, 4 PEOPLE

I'll be late. I have plans.

I'm practicing a little more.

I'll be late tonight.

I don't want to watch this alone.

Hey.

I came to give you something.

Wow, these pictures were still around?

I found them
while preparing for the festival.

Anyway, how did you know this was me?

I changed a lot.

Not at all.

You're still pretty.

What?

Si-a looks just like you.

Do you want to see?

She's so cute.

Is that really Si-u?

Doesn't he look great?
His eyes change when he plays ball.

I should've gone to watch him more often.

What a shame.

You were busy with work.

You brought them up as a working mother.

You're amazing.

You sound like a grown-up.

I'm an old man inside.

But I still get nervous
about making mistakes

before our games.

But

when I see you on TV,

you don't look nervous at all.

And you never even make a mistake.

I always think you're awesome
whenever I see you.

Come on, that's an overstatement.

I mean it.

Si-a and Si-u support you a lot too.

-Really?
-Yes.

So keep showing them how awesome you are.

Thanks.

It started.

Da-jeong.

You're doing wonderful right now.

So please don't worry.

I know you'll get through this again.

It's so pretty.

There are things you see
after you lose them.

Thanks for keeping me company.
Get home safely.

The smile of someone you love.

The time you spend with those you love.

Before I lost them,

I didn't know

just how precious they were.

Yu-ju!

Mom!

Yu-ju!

Yu-ju!

Find an empty OR.

He's an MVA patient.
Hong Dae-yeong, born in 1983.

8 YEARS AGO

Dae-yeong. Hong Dae-yeong.

-Dae-yeong.
-One second, please.

Dae-yeong!

Your mommy is looking for you.

Yes, Mom!

Let them play just a bit longer.

They're having so much fun.

It's great to have a kid cafe around.

But it opened after they grew older.

Right.

Do you want to hang out with me?

Okay.

Who's that boy holding her hand?

He must be her friend.

Ja-seong!

Ja-seong? I don't think he's her friend.

You'll lose it when she brings
her fiancé home, won't you?

-What?
-Think about it.

One day, she'll have a boyfriend,

and get married.

What will you do if she brings a boy home?

First off, I'll break one of his legs.

-What?
-And if he's a good kid, I'll fix him.

But if he's a bad guy,
I'll break the other leg too.

Poor Si-a. You'll never get married.

Don't say that out loud.

I'm already about to cry.

I feel like I'm raising three kids.

Come here, my baby. Goodness.

Were you upset? Poor thing.
