Hwang Min Soo.

Tae Ri.

Episode 8

What are you doing here?

Well... It's...

I was thinking about something.

Thinking?

What if something was wrong with the sundial and everything stopped?

Hwang Min Soo, are you crazy?

If the sundial is fixed, then I would might have to leave here.

Leave here? What are you talking about?

I want to be by your side, Miss Lee Tae Ri.

In order for that to happen, this is all I can do.

Hwang Min Soo, what are you trying to say.

If the sundial is broken, then my life is in ruins

and so will the museum.

That might not be the case.

Even though the museum may be okay, you might be in danger.

You think about breaking the sundial in order to protect me?

Do you really expect me to believe that?

Yes. It is true.

Do you know how much I trusted you?

Do you know how confident I was because you were by my side?

Lee Tae Ri.

Don't touch me.

How can this happen?

We are not kids going through puberty.

How can protecting me turn out this way?

Lee Tae Ri ssi! Wait!

We need to talk.

Yes?

Ah, yes. Director. Please hear me out.

I wasn't really trying to break the sundial...

Freeze.

Manager Hwang is to be on freeze from now on.

Stay there until I think this through and clarify everything,

What is going on?

What did you threaten him with that he is trying to mess with the sundial?

I didn't threaten him.

I only adviced him to think what would be beneficial for you.

Why are you like this?

I don't like it.

I hate and despise the fact that Hwang Min Soo is by your side.

I like it.

So don't mess with Hwang Min Soo.

Then do you think the Vice President will leave him alone?

You know it too.

That I, like that him, was all innocent and foolish in just looking at you.

It wasn't me or my uncle that made you like this.

It was you who left me and chose my uncle instead.

Did it ever cross your mind that I might have had a reason for that?

I could have been in a crappy situation where I couldn't do as I wanted to.

There is no such thing.

You rascal. Where have you been?

You didn't even answer your phone and you weren't at the museum either.

Teacher. What should I do?

You really didn't break the sundial, right?

I should have just done that.

What are you talking about now?

You receiving the money and Lee Tae Ri ssi going to see her uncle,

that's all because of me.

A woman's life is at stake because of me.

It might be better for me to break the sundial and never be able to go back.

You rascal, but this isn't the way to fix this!

What if not going back is my fate?

Gum Eun Dong! This is no fate, this is a nightmare!

You have to think about your parents who are having nightmares every night.

If you talk about fate and not going back one more time, then it will really be the end.

you and me, bonded by loyalty as coach and students, will be finished.

Teacher, you really don't know.

How much Lee Tae Ri ssi trusted me and how much she smiled when she talked about friendship and loyalty.

You didn't see that.

Grandfather.

I'm alone again tonight.

I had promised you that I would bring a friend next time.

Grandfather, is it really impossible for me?

I only wanted somebody who would hold my hand warmly

and someone I can lean on when I'm struggling.

Do I have to remain alone like this

at the end?

at the end?

I...

can't leave Lee Tae Ri ssi like this.

I am planning on closing down the museum since the groundbreaking ceremony of the amusement park has happened.

Do you want to go golfing

and stay a night there with the head of the construction company for the amusement park this weekend?

That day...

Ah..

there is an event this weekend, right?

Yes.

Seung Jae. Should I still do something for the anniversary of my brother's death?

You can meet up with Tae Ri and comfort her, that's all.

Vice-President.

Oh yes, you have to see your father that day too.

With an apologetic heart for Tae Ri.

With an apologetic heart for Tae Ri.

I have something to tell you.

Hwang Min Soo is nothing.

He is just a museum employee to me, so...

You grew up a bit.

So this is you trying to stop me from messing around with that man, right?

Since this is your reaction, it makes me want to destroy him more than ever.

Please stop, Uncle.

Well, then you can give up the museum.

If he weren't worth as much, then there would be no point for you to come here.

Isn't that right, Seung Jae?

Stop this.

I will not give up the museum.

Then I guess I will have to put him under my wings.

If he and Seung Jae are on the same team, then it will be easier for me to catch you.

Sadly, this happened while Lee Tae Ri's parents were on their way to pick her up from school.

And this day was also Miss Lee Tae Ri's birthday.

Tae Ri.

I couldn't help it.

Get ready.

In five days, the sundial will return to its former glory.

I think that will be sufficient, seeing from how fast the hands are going.

Teacher, what is the reason for this sudden reaction?

According to this book, it says that if the ying and yang are in harmony,

then it will cause the sundial to work.

Ying and yang.

Are you talking about the sun and the moon?

If you you look at the logistics of the sundial's creation, then it could be the moon and the sun. If you look at it in a magical sense, then it can be a woman and a man.

Up until now, there weren't any significant natural phenomena, so it was hard to estimate the restoration date.

How suddenly the sundial is recovering

also startles me.

Director! Your face is half of what it used to be!

Manager Hwang. Apparently the sundial is coming back soon.

When?

Are you sure?

It will return to its original form in five days.

Then there might be no reason for you to protect the sundial.

Lee Tae Ri ssi. You don't think that I was really trying to betray you? Right?

You can go now.

Wait.

Hwang Min Soo, what is this?

What are you doing?

bo-ssam (carry a sack on your back)...I want to put you in a sack and run away.

What?

This car...is the one you bought for me.

Riding in this car...even if we have to drive around the whole country, let's work on your misunderstanding.

Hwang Min Soo, why are you being so stubborn?

From accidents to solving them, why are you so rash and irresponsiblity like a kid?

I had a reason. The real reason why I was uncertain in front of the sun clock.

Because of a secret I have not told you...

secret?

Can there be a secret that cannot be shared between friends?

Yes, the reason is....

Forget it, I don't want to hear it

Don't push me away!

If you don't hear me out, then you will push me away from your heart.

Do you know the phrase "Ignorance is bliss"?

Do you know the phrase "Ignorance is bliss"?

If that secret is so grave that it will end up hurting me, then don't say it.

Just keep it as a secret forever and leave.

Secretary Hong. I think I need to work.

I can't be a pathetic head of the museum who is swayed because of personal problems.

Director, if you could specify that...

Director, if you could specify that...

Something that's like doenjang stew. Something that is so earthy that after one mouthful, I will feel refreshed.

Then I recommend a Traditional Experience program.

Traditional Experience program?

Yes.

And I also encourage you to visit the house where the program would be held yourself.

Hwang Min Soo planned that though.

You.. you!

Father!

Why are you here again?

I wanted some doenjang stew.

A doenjang stew cooked by mother's heart.

Heart?

What are you?

What are you that you keep on interfering our marriage?

Eun Dong.

What?

There is a history called Eun Dong ' between you and mother.

How could I interfere the two of you?

Here.

Father, can I really drink this?

There is a saying that drinking is the best way for two men to get over their problems.

Manager Hwang. Please have a drink and forgive me for all the rude behavior.

Then I will drink this with a thankful heart since this is the first glass you poured for me.

You remind me of my son.

Eun Dong's wish was to drink under the moonlight while thinking about a man's hardships in life.

Father...

Miss Lee Tae Ri!

I have something to discuss with you about the traditional experience program with you.

But...

It's because of doenjang stew.

I wanted some doenjang stew made by Mother.

Director, but what is it that you want to talk about the program?

I want the both of you to be a part of the museum.

I hope that you will let us know the foods you normally eat and the customs you still practice.

You won't be disappointed with the pay.

We don't need to be paid...

Director, we have to show the tents first, I guess.

It's where we store the golden doenjang of the Geum family, made by these skills god gave me.

Right, hubby?

The two of you, please wait in the room.

Go ahead.

Lee Tae Ri ssi. Please sit comfortably.

I didn't think that we would meet again...

Our relationship must be special.

I also feel like Eun Dong is linking again and again.

This is more of a coincidence than a special relationship.

If there are multiple coincidences, then it is a special relationship.

Eun Dong's dream was to become a swimmer, like me.

He is a kid with a dream and a warm family.

Why would he leave home?

It's because of destiny.

He may have had to leave home because he was destined to meet someone.

He was only fourteen; would destiny meant that much?

Yes.

I think so.

This is Eun Dong.

He is pretty. His eyes are warm too.

Right?

Don't you think he will grow up to be a reliable and great guy?

Mamma mia!

This kid... I know him!

Do you remember him?

Of course!

This kid saved me.

Exactly! He might be your fated one...

I have to find this kid for his family.

Lee Tae Ri ssi. Are you really going to search for Eun Dong?

You don't even know where he is.

He probably didn't go far.

Because since he is a child who grew up eating homemade food, he would be a sweet child who wouldn't make his parents suffer.

What if he doesn't want to come back?

Because he has someone he wants to protect. What if it's that person who is holding him back?

Everyone at that age can dream of deviance.

But to leave the boy's life astray because of his sudden impulse is not what adults should do.

This

Hwang Min Soo, I am not confident.

If you would stay by my side like this and stay as you are right now, I don't know about that.

Lee Tae Ri SSI.

Like how the child must come home,

I want Hwang Min Soo to get out of my life.

You must.

Geum Eun Dong. What are you doing right now?

I'm packing, as you see.

Did you ultimately choose nonsense for love?

You are packing right now to run away with Lee Tae Ri at night! Aren't I right?

I'm going to go back.

Lee Tae Ri ssi told me to leave her.

Have you made up your mind for sure?

You aren't going to go against your word later?

That's not going to happen.

But I need to take care of this before I go.

Why with that piece of metal again?

You said that even when the sleeves touch each other, it's meant to be.

I am going to end the relationship whether I give this to Lee Tae Ri or I keep it.

You can't do that!

You go to end the relationship, but you feel like this isn't it,

so you end up repeating the relationshpi over and over again. That is what a relationship is.

I'll be going now.

Welcome back to Sagwameori!

Soon Shim. I am so proud of you!

You even brought us a sponsor while you were resting.

Why is that because of Soon Shim?

It was because Hong Shil is a friend of Lee Tae Ri.

Then everything is going back to where it was, right?

Including who is the leader.

Now, the leader is chosen at random.

Manager! What is that?

Well, I thought for the sake of Sagwameori's development, the leadership should be fair.

No. I don't want to.

Ha Soon Shim. If you want to be a leader that badly, then you should have done a good job before.

She goes around creating gossip.

But she wants to be the leader?

Yang Mimi. Are you still jealous of me?

How many years is this, starting from when you were a trainee?

Don't fight, you guys!

Ha Soon Shim!

Stop it!

Are you okay?

Hong Shil, are you alright?

I'm alright...

But you don't have to go see Soon Shim?

I came to see you, Hong Shil.

Because my heart felt heavy (frustrated)...

If it's because of Tae Ri, I don't have anything to say.

I...have to leave soon.

But...I don't think I can leave like this.

I want to do one last thing for Lee Tae Ri,

I don't know what that is. I thought you might know.

Tae Ri has 5 seasons...

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...

and sweet-potatoes

what, sweet-potatoes?

for Tae Ri, when it's that season...

it feels like a sweet-potato stuck in her heart...frustrating and difficult.

But, it is now sweet potato season...

It will be Tae Ri's parents' memorial soon.

By memorial. you mean when her mom and dad passed away?

That day was Lee Tae Ri's birthday...

Hwang Min Soo, how can be looking after Hong Shil in front of me?

What, is it because she's Lee Tae Ri's friend?

Hwang Min Soo!

It's a warning...

Father,

I'm going to see Lee Tae Ri's parents.

So please help me this time...

What! Again...it's money!

Yes, it's money.

No, please Lee Tae Ri. I really don't like money.

Please take it back, please.

Please don't refuse.

Hwang Min Guk accepting is the same as Hwang Min Soo receiving it.

Why do you keep giving me a bunch of money?

This money...is for all the hard work Hwang Min Soo did for me.

Ms. Tae Ri Lee.

Thank you very much, for letting go of my younger brother.

My brother is still a kid.

For him to act like a man in front of you,

there is much that he lacks.

It's not like that.

Hwang Min Soo, more than any other man I've met, was a trust-worthy

and good man.

That's why I want to ask you,

Until Hwang Min Soo can fulfill his dreams,

please be his shelter.

Shelter?

Yes.

So that you can be a strong and sturdy shelter for him,

I will do my best.

Oh, my . Ms. Tae Ri Lee.

Please contact me if you ever need my assistance.

But please...it's a secret.

What is this?

It's medicine. When your heart aches, there is no better medicine than sweet strawberry milk.

After we drink this, let's treat the scar from your loss.

Ms. Tae Ri.

I...will leave.

But, I have a request.

Request?

A last farewell...

a last farewell?

Yes.

When it's back working, please give me a hug in front of the sun clock.

Lee Tae Ri style...

Why, of all things, in front of the sun clock?

Because the sun clock brought us together.

So, even saying goodbye,

it feels right to do it in front of the sun clock.

Italy. . .

First of all, it looks like a boot...

And Rome. The populations is...

68150000...

In the Mediterranean,

Representative food is...

Pizza.

What are you doing? Why are you so engrossed in Italy?

Before I leave, I want to give Lee Tae Ri a present.

It's exactly like Romeo and Juliet.

One side is money, the other is heart.

Teacher, what do you think will be good?

What will be the best present on your parent's memorial?

On such a sad day, a shot of soju is the best.

soju?

Yes, professor/teacher

Today at midnight, it will return

Teacher, is this true?

Midnight is when the energy of the sun and moon is in harmony.

In this condition, before the night ends...

it will return to it's original form

It must be a present,

mom and dad sent.

Hong Shil!

I really want to thank you...

What's all this?

For a memorial service, instead of soju, wine is best.

I want to make some good food and serve it with the wine to Lee Tae Ri's mom and dad.

Who are you?

Hong Shil, this is my older brother.

Hello, I'm your fan.

What is this?

You said you will just remove your things while Tae Ri wasn't here.

Can I at least shake your hand?

Yes.

Oh, really...

hyung (older brother)!

it's burning...

If Tae Ri finds out, she'll really get mad...

Don't worry...

It's first time ine a year since she met her parents. Do you think still stay mad?

Tae Ri does not do this kind of thing...

She spends her parent's memorial quietly at home.

Why spent it quietly?

It's the one time in a year that she gets to meet her parents.

That right! With food cooked with love and devotion

consoling the tired soles of parents. This great guy...

This guy is my younger brother.

Look at her...

Just one smack...

Perhaps, it is true that my birth was lonely...

Would you like me to be with you?

No, I will do as I usually do...

If this is my fate, I should accept it.

Mamma Mia! (My goodness)

Lee Tae Ri...welcome

Hwang Min Soo, what are you doing here?

What is all this food?

I thought that today is your mom and dad's memorial...

I wanted to be with you

I always spend mom and dad's memorial quietly, by myself.

Don't ruin an important day, and leave now.

Why are you wasting time when your mom and dad are waiting?

Food tastes better when it's warm.

Hwang Min Soo!

Get mad later and greet your mom and dad first.

It's been a while since you met them. Are you just going to stay mad?

Do you think it's going alright? Do you think Lee Tae Ri will hit him with the silk screen?

I don't know....

I don't know anything...

So...

why don't you know?

by the way...

when this night is over, your younger brother

will be leaving Tae Ri, right?

Yes, I'll put my life on it.

Don't worry about anything.

But Ms. Hong Shil, after meeting you in person

your face is very friendly

I am an advocate of humanism

Ah, that's how it is...

Ohhh...Tae Ri, your parents say that it tastes great!

It's true!

Even though it looks a bit strange, it tastes great.

Because food is about love...

Hwang Min Soo, did you prepare this by yourself?

Mamma mia.

What do I do?

What's going on?

Ay...I didn't mean...it's just that there was something stuck on your forehead...

I just can't stand hair stuck on anyone's face...

I really need to take it off your face right now...

Either way, Lee Tae Ri...

Surprise.

Tae Ri, I'm sorry.

I really had no idea.

He asked me to just open the door for him...

You guys worked hard making the food...

Huh, Tae Ri, you just smiled...

You feel moved, don't you?

But what should we do?

This isn't everything...

Happy birthday, Lee Tae Ri!

Today is when you lost your parents, but it is also the day your first met them.

But it seems you have not been able to celebrate your birthday properly since your parents died. That's why we prepared this.

Lee Tae Ri, from this moment, we are going back to age 14.

14 years old?

Yes.

You will say your saddest moments out loud, then blow out the candle one by one.

And when it's all over, you will live only with the good memories.

Here you go...from age 14.

When I was 14, I lost my parents so I was very sad.

When I was 15, I went to school in Milano and my Italian improved quite a bit.

At age 16, I started fencing and went to see the sun clock for the first time with my grandfather.

At age 28 now, I met a great friend

and because of that friend

I'm not scared of the dark anymore.

so I'm grateful and hesitant. I don't want to send me away

But I'll be able to hold on to the great memories he made for me

and send him without regrets.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Did you come here because you know that the sun clock is working again?

Yes.

Yes, I know.

But today, I came to see Tae Ri.

Tae Ri?

I want to tell Tae Ri everything today...

It's not time yet.

Wait until Tae Ri is able to accept (understand) it.

No, I will do it today.

How I became this way, from the beginning, about everything.

How I became this way, from the beginning, about everything.

Thank you for today.

Let's go now.

I'll grant your wish, Hwang Min Soo.

I think I can do well now.

Lee Tae Ri style goodbye.

Hwang Min Soo!

Yes, Tae Ri.

Where will you go now?

Home, where my family is waiting.

Home...

All I need now is a last farewell and I'll be able to leave.

Where is this place?

This place...is where I talk to my grandfather.

When I am worried or sad, I come here for comfort and feel restored.

That there...the brightest shining star is my grandfather.

My grandfather...always wanted to show me the night sky.

Everything changes as the time passes,

but a star stays in its place without changing.

an unchanging star...

Yeah...

There is a star that's never changing all year-round.

Which star is that?

The pole star...

The pole star stays in it's place whether it's raining or snowing...

Like a lover who never leaves my side, no matter how hard things get.

That is really cool...that pole star.

Isn't it?

I promised grandfather if I ever meet someone like that, I'd bring him here.

I think I found that person...

Lee Tae Ri, I don't think I can leave...
