(Episode 11: Miss Korea)

Try some.

A friend gave me this pu'er tea.

I heard fermented tea is good for you.

The aroma's quite nice.

Thank you.

"So, why did you want to see me?"

"Don't beat around the bush. Just get to the point."

You've got that look in your eye, don't you?

It's just that my next appointment will be here soon.

Okay, down to business then.

Koh Yeong Rye.

How about you and me stir things up a bit?

Stir things up? What do you mean...?

How would you like to enter the Miss Korea pageant?

What?

Our salon already has a candidate we've been backing.

With my 20 years of experience picking winners, my gut tells me...

she's missing that certain something.

And I think you've got what she's missing.

So, what do you say?

Director.

I've never even dreamed of doing something like that...

Well, start thinking about it now.

Registration for the preliminaries is this weekend.

Compared to the girls who've been professionally groomed,

I think you're much more natural and refreshing.

But Director...

You said your dream was to go to college, right?

If you're crowned Miss Korea,

you get 15,000 dollars in scholarship money.

I know that because of your financial situation,

you're working and squeezing in time to study for night school.

That'll take forever.

With this,

Isn't that motivation enough?

I'm all for it.

You've always wanted to go to college.

And if money weren't an issue, you could just focus on getting in.

Even if you don't place, I think it'll be a great life experience.

Taking on a challenge is your thing, isn't it?

Aren't you Koh Yeong Rye, the girl who always goes for broke?

Still...

This is on another level, though.

Me, Miss Korea? I could never even dream of it.

Never dream of it?

Why not? What's wrong with you?

In my eyes, you're already the winner.

Hey.

I'm being serious here.

Okay. What about your mom?

Have you told your mom?

No, not yet.

My mom would totally freak out.

Still...

I should probably talk to her about it, right?

Yeah, I probably should.

Gosh, I told you to go upstairs. You must be tired.

Why are you so stubborn?

It'd be easier to just do this myself.

What is it?

You have something to say, don't you?

It's like you're psychic.

If you set up shop as a fortune-teller,

you'd put all the famous psychics in this town out of business.

I'll be old and gray by the time you're done.

Enough with the flattery.

Hurry up and tell me. What is it?

So...

that lady from the...

The Art or Magic salon or whatever...

She asked you to enter the Miss Korea pageant?

Yes.

She said if I win, there's scholarship money.

It's 15,000 dollars.

It's 15,000 dollars?

With that money,

the landlord would stop hassling us about...

the rent for the shop,

and I'd have enough for tuition and living expenses.

I think I could finally just focus on getting into college, but...

But?

Why'd you stop mid-sentence?

What if I don't make it?

I mean, what if...

What if I reach the finals and I still don't win?

I can't work during the training camp,

so I won't get a paycheck.

I'm afraid it'll just be a waste of time.

And I won't be able to help you with expenses.

Don't you even think about the expenses.

How can I not?

I know you're already struggling to make rent.

Not this time.

Don't worry about the money.

If you want to do this, then do it.

So what if you fail? It's not the end of the world.

All those years I was raising you,

do you know what I said to you the most?

"Don't do it."

"Do it later."

Back then, I was desperate, trying to feed a family of five.

I needed you to help out.

I mean, come on.

Hey, if you'd used your brain for studying,

you would've made something of yourself by now.

When you were young, you were busy helping on the buses.

And now you're too busy doing everyone else's hair.

For once, I just wanted to tell you, "Go for it."

You're at an age where you should sparkle with all you want to do.

Mom, why are you being like this all of a sudden?

Hey, that's just how I feel, okay?

So just go for it, Miss Korea or whatever.

This time, I'm going to back you up 100 percent.

And stop worrying about the living expenses.

Really?

You mean I can really do it?

But I might not win.

Why do you always think about failing first?

If you're going to do this, you must believe you'll win.

Okay, I'll really do it then, Mom. Okay?

I'll work really hard.

I'll work so, so hard.

Thank you, Mom.

You'd better be thankful.

You only got an offer like that because you take after me.

You've got my figure, and you're gorgeous.

And for the record, I was considered tall in my day, you know?

I can't believe it. My daughter's doing Miss Korea.

I'll do it, ma'am.

I'm going to give Miss Korea a shot.

Good. You made the right choice.

Let's create a masterpiece. It's been a while.

Hey.

You get a real kick out of this, don't you?

Showing up unannounced like this.

Yep, it's fun watching you run out all flustered.

Studying all day must be frying your brain, right?

Want to go blow off some steam with me again?

Keep your eye on the ball.

You have to get the timing right.

All right, focus. Timing.

You're really off your game today.

Tell me about it.

I just can't seem to get it right.

Why don't you take a swing?

I'm totally wiped.

Gosh, you're a natural!

This is good.

Are you actually enjoying that?

It looks like it's half-melted.

I'm starting to regret buying you that ice cream.

What do you mean? I'm trying my best.

Don't push yourself.

You're exhausted.

Want to sit for a minute?

You really are...

the Seo Jong Hee expert.

To be honest, today...

I came because I wanted you to notice...

that I'm having a hard time.

Why?

What's weighing on you this time?

Where do I even begin?

Hope, disappointment, desire...

Jealousy, love...

And that complicated feeling of hating someone you love.

I think life is hard because we are emotional creatures.

You can power through other hardships,

but feelings...

You just can't control them.

That's true. The heart...

It is impossible to control, even when it's your own.

Looking back on it,

I think the most important thing is timing.

Even in baseball,

you have to swing at the right time to raise your batting average.

Just like today.

But your timing today was perfect for a great pinch hitter.

You're right. I had you.

There's something I've learned in my life.

The present is just as important as timing.

Because the things you do right now...

are what create your next opportunity.

So,

there's still a chance.

You think so?

Still, I'm glad I came to see you.

Now that I've talked with you like this,

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

You have to go back in?

No. I'm heading home for the day.

Want to have dinner at my mom's? You can see Yeong Rye too.

No, thanks.

Not today...

All right.

Oh, by the way, did you hear?

Yeong Rye is entering the Miss Korea pageant.

Miss Korea?

Apparently, her salon's director suggested it.

And it looks like she decided to go for it.

Anyway, Koh Yeong Rye is really something else.

She's always so unpredictable, that one.

What are you doing here? You didn't even call.

You made me worry for days. Are you here out of guilt?

Want to stay for dinner?

No, that's not it.

- Mom. - Yes?

I'm going to enter the Miss Korea pageant.

What?

I said I'm going to compete in Miss Korea.

The one Ms. Juri at the salon suggested before.

It's been my childhood dream to be Miss Korea.

To be honest, when she made that offer,

my heart was pounding because I wanted to do it so badly.

But I gave up on it because you were against it.

But now, I really want to do it.

I'm going to do it.

Please, let me compete in Miss Korea.

Are you sure you can win the crown?

You're Yang Mi Sook's daughter.

If you're going to be in Miss Korea, you'd better bring home the crown.

If you're that confident, then go for it.

It would open up global opportunities.

And it wouldn't be a bad experience.

I will.

I'll become Miss Korea.

- Thank you. - Of course.

I'm looking forward to working with you all.

Jong Hee.

Thank you so much for making this difficult decision.

Seriously.

It's like we've just gained a whole army.

I mean, it's great you're on board, but...

How on earth did you convince the Madam Chairman?

I begged her, saying I really wanted to do it.

Oh my goodness. Madam Chairman is a real softy for her daughter.

That's so sweet to see.

Jong Hee.

Just trust me.

You don't have to worry about a thing.

Director.

Isn't that Michelle?

Did you say Michelle?

Hello!

It's been a while, Director. You've been well, I hope?

Well...

I don't think we're on friendly enough terms...

to be asking how we're doing.

But completely ignoring each other is just so tacky, don't you think?

By the way...

Where is Michelle's candidate?

Jong Hee.

What are you doing? Hurry up and come inside.

Ms. Koh.

She looks a lot like our Ms. Koh, doesn't she?

No!

It really is Ms. Koh.

What?

Ms. Koh.

Go on and say it.

You said you had something to tell me.

I felt...

I felt I should be the one to tell you.

Jong Hee.

The thing is, Jae Pil and I...

What, did you two decide to start dating?

Why are you making it such a big deal?

Congratulations.

So you're the one who won Han Jae Pil's heart.

But you competing in Miss Korea... That's a surprise.

It kind of feels like I was blind sided.

Director Michelle saw something in me.

She said if I win Miss Korea, there's a scholarship grant.

So after thinking it over, I decided to go for it.

The scholarship money.

Right.

Your dream has always been to go to college.

If I'd known you were competing as Juri's candidate,

maybe...

I wouldn't have been able to do it.

No.

You don't need to feel that way.

In fact, hearing you're competing makes me even more fired up.

You just do your best.

And I'll do my best too.

Let's have another fair fight, Koh Yeong Rye.

It won't be so easy for you this time.

One, two, knees!

Three, four, shoulders back!

One, two, tighten your core! Three, four!

One, two, three, four.

- One, step forward, that's it! - Three, good!

Find your center and tighten your core.

Pose.

There it is. You've got it.

Pose. Three, four.

Go.

With a little more confidence.

Pose.

Okay.

Jong Hee is the best.

Hello. I am contestant number 34, Seo Jong Hee.

That was wonderful.

Okay, when you say "Seo Jong Hee," your smile has to reach your eyes.

One, one.

One, one.

One.

Pose.

One, two, three.

Who will go on to the 1989 Miss Korea pageant finals.

We'll now announce the final results of the Miss Seoul competition.

Miss Seoul's 2nd runner-up is Number 23, Cho Min Sun.

The 1st runner-up is Number 34, Seo Jong Hee.

And the winner is Number 15, Koh Yeong Rye.

Oh my goodness!

Hope you sell a lot today.

- Hey, Ms. Park. - What is it?

I heard there was some good news over at your place.

Oh, the good news...

It's not a big deal.

It's just the Miss Seoul title, that's all.

She still has the finals to go. You never know what'll happen.

But still.

But the Miss Seoul winner has always had an advantage.

Wow, that's wonderful!

Darn it!

Why are you hanging that thing crooked?

What do you mean? Like this?

A little higher. Up, up.

Up? Like this? All right, how about now?

- A little lower... - Yeong Bae, what was that?

- A bit lower. A little lower. - Lower? Like this?

No, higher! Darn it! Hey!

Are you blind? Why can't you hang it straight?

There. Look, look. How is it now? Right now.

Now it looks right.

But Mom, you need to control that temper.

You could be the mother of Miss Korea soon.

No, I just...

I was just telling him to hang it up properly.

Oh, gosh. It's done now.

I still can't tell if I'm dreaming or if this is real.

What if Yeong Rye actually becomes Miss Korea?

Yeong Bae and Yeong Mi, what are we going to do?

That'd be great.

If she wins, we have to ask her to show us around the TV station.

I want to see Kim Wan Sun.

Gosh, the banner's already up. It looks amazing.

- You're here. - Hello.

Is Yeong Rye not here yet?

I wanted to congratulate her before camp, since I won't see her.

Oh, she called earlier.

She said she's going to be a little late.

She must have a lot to take care of with the director.

Well, in that case...

Should we start the party without our guest of honour?

It's my treat.

You should get out and have someone else cook for you sometimes, ma'am.

Should we? All right then.

Sure. All right.

This is a rare treat for me.

Thanks to Yeong Rye, I can close up the shop...

and eat a meal I didn't cook for a change.

- Let's go, let's go! - Go get ready.

(Yeonseo University Hospital)

Yes, this is the doctor's office.

Is Dr. Han Jae Pil there, by any chance?

Gosh.

Well, look who it is.

Is this the winner of Miss Seoul I'm speaking to?

Yes, that's right.

This is Koh Yeong Rye, your accidental Miss Seoul.

What do you mean, accidental? You won because you deserved it.

Man, I wish I could congratulate you in person.

The doctor I'm on call with had an emergency,

so I promised to cover for him until he gets back.

I really want to see you, though.

Oh, really?

You miss me that much?

Of course, I miss you.

Once you start the training camp, we won't see each other for a month.

Right.

Well, if you miss me that much,

then you should just see me.

Just count to ten...

and then open the door.

Come on.

Hi, Dr. Han.

Have you been well?

I'll enjoy it.

I've never been in here before.

But am I even allowed to be in here?

Technically, no. But you're with me.

Why? Are you uncomfortable? We can go eat somewhere else.

Oh, no, it's not that.

You're on call, right?

I'll just watch you eat and then head out.

Here, you have some too.

Being Miss Seoul is great and all, but you've gotten so thin.

You're much cuter when you have your chubby cheeks.

I can't. If I eat this,

I'll gain weight, and the director will have my head.

Just have one. One won't hurt.

Here you go.

Good job.

That's it, eat up.

Have some more.

- It's delicious. - It is?

The training camp is three weeks, right?

Yes.

I can't see this adorable hamster face for three weeks...

What on earth am I going to do?

I don't think I can stand it.

Oh, no, what a disaster.

If Han Jae Pil can't see me,

he might just get sick from longing.

Then I'd better get a good look while I can.

Ko Yeong Rye.

Yeong Rye, wait. Didn't we eat all the dumplings?

Oh, I guess I ate them all.

Then why did you bring the container?

Hey, Han Jae Pil.

All right, I get it.

I get it.

Oh, we're here already?

I didn't realise your place was this close to the bus stop.

Tell me about it.

It's way too close.

Come on.

I'll walk you back.

No way.

Your training starts tomorrow. You need to go inside and pack.

Don't you get disqualified if you're not there by nine?

No, it's fine. I can get up on time.

Come on, let's go.

- Hey! - Come on, let's go, let's go!

- No, really. - Hurry.

Did we just teleport?

How are we at my place already?

I thought I walked as slowly as I could.

This is crazy.

Okay, that's it. I'm walking you back.

- What? Where are you going? - Let's go.

I can just take a taxi. You have to work tomorrow.

No, it's dangerous to take a taxi by yourself.

Go on. Hurry up. Go, go.

Go on in. For real this time.

It's late. Go and pack your things.

Okay.

You go first.

I'll leave after I see you go in. My place is right over there.

Don't be silly.

I'll watch you go in first.

- Go on, hurry. - Okay.

You don't think...

You won't forget my face after a month apart, will you?

Just in case, I should take a good long look.

What was that?

You didn't even give me a warning.

Oh, you're in so much trouble.

Come here.

So?

So how did you and Jae Pil become a thing?

Come on, girl. Stop keeping us in suspense.

So when did you two... You know.

Actually get together? Can't you just tell us that?

Just leave her be.

But come on, we go way back.

She'll probably tell us about the wedding invitations.

Or maybe when we get a new niece or nephew?

- Hey, that's enough. Stop it. - Yeah, right. When the baby's born.

Wait a minute, that time...

at the beauty seminar in Dongincheon...

What? The beauty seminar?

My gosh. Then that day...

What did I tell you?

She was acting a little strange the day after Michelle started.

Okay, that's enough. Go now. I have to get this done.

Who made the first move?

Who asked who out?

No way. Don't tell me it was you.

It wasn't really one of us.

It just sort of happened.

What about the kiss?

You kissed?

And not just a little peck like before, right?

We did.

Okay, go now. I need to pack my things.

Where did you do it?

- Hurry up, no more questions. - My goodness.

- Watch it. - Sorry.

Sorry, I'm so sorry.

That's her, right? Miss Seoul.

You made it.

She doesn't exactly stand out.

Not really.

Then again, Miss Seoul is always the favourite to win each year.

But I hear Seoul's runner-up is a real contender this year.

I thought I was going to be late.

I ran the whole way here.

All right, can everyone hear me?

- Yes. - Yes.

For the duration of this training camp,

I will be running the various programs...

and serving as your head supervisor.

My name is Lee Byeong Hoon, and I'm on the executive committee.

First, before we assign the rooms. It will be 2 per 1 room.

I think we should choose a leader to be your representative.

To save time and make things easier,

how about the winner of Miss Seoul...

I'll do it!

I'd really like to be the group representative.

I've always kicked myself for never being class president.

Okay then. Our group leader will be...

Contestant Number Ten, the Miss Seoul runner-up.

Okay, so the runner-up's our leader.

So, if you have any suggestions or other concerns,

you can bring them to Number Ten.

I'll do my best!

Now, for the room assignments.

Shall we draw your numbers and let fate decide?

(Room 314)

(Koh Yeong Rye, Seo Jong Hee)

The room's a bit small.

At least there's a bathroom.

Still, it's way bigger than my room.

Which bed do you want?

You pick.

Well, why don't you take the one on the inside?

It's probably noisy by the hall, and you're a light sleeper.

We know way too much about each other.

Okay, I'll take the inside one then.

But isn't it crazy?

Out of all those people,

how did we end up in the same room?

I know, right?

I don't know if we should call this fate,

or is it destiny?

I'm going to go check on the room next door real quick.

Since I'm the group leader, I should get to know everyone.

Okay, go ahead.

I'm going for Miss Congeniality.

I heard that's worth some extra points.

Hey!

Hey, Su Jin!

Sleep well?

What brings you here so early?

I'm so sorry to ask,

but could you possibly watch Su Jin for just an hour or two?

Her preschool is closed today, of all days.

Mom and Ho Suk have their morning deliveries,

and right after, they'll be too busy prepping for a large party.

Okay, okay.

She can hang out with me, so don't worry and get to work.

I'm so sorry.

I'll be sure to make it up to you.

Why are you always talking about repaying me?

It's not like you're keeping a tally.

If you insist, then...

you can buy me dinner sometime.

Dinner?

Dinner.

I can buy you dinner, but...

I'll buy you dinner.

Okay.

Su Jin, be good for him, okay?

Auntie Ho Suk will come get you later.

- Mommy's got to go. - Say bye to your mom.

Bye, Mommy.

- Go on, head to work. - Thank you.

Alright, Su Jin.

We haven't had a date in a while, have we?

So, what should we do?

I want to fly a kite!

Fly a kite? Okay.

Should we go to the store and buy one?

Su Jin.

Gosh.

Hey, Su Jin. You been good?

I missed you so much, I haven't been doing so great.

Hello.

Good girl.

What's she doing with you again?

I was supposed to watch her for a bit.

Jeong Bun went to work,

and Mother and Ho Suk are busy.

Save it.

I'll hang out with her. You can go mind your own business.

Su Jin, let's go.

What do you want, Su Jin?

Dad... I mean, I'll buy you a pretty dress.

Let's go.

Let's see...

These clothes don't do you justice.

Excuse me, do you have any dresses that are more like a princess dress?

You know, the kind little girls like.

With lots of lace and frills, that kind of thing.

Super pink, you know?

We should have something like that.

- Oh, there are more over here? - Right here.

Here, how about this one? Very pink.

It's very pink, but... it's not a very pretty pink.

Don't you have a prettier pink?

There's this one too.

Maybe I should just take her to a department store.

I want to get her an outfit now and then buy her something yummy.

Oh? This one's pretty.

Yeah, this one's nice.

Do you have this in a size up?

- We do. - This is perfect.

Right, Su Jin? This one's pretty, right?

Su Jin?

Su Jin?

Where'd she go? Where did Su Jin go?

Su Jin!

Su Jin!

Su Jin!

- Su Jin! - Su Jin!

- Su Jin... - Did you find her?

No, she's not where she usually...

She's not over here. I checked all the likely places.

Hey, no one at the market has seen her.

Where on earth could a little girl like her have gone?

Oh, God, my heart is pounding.

What are we going to do?

Ho Suk.

Jeong Bun, I think we have to...

report her missing at the police station, okay?

Oh, no...

How could this happen?

If you're going to watch a kid, you have to actually watch her!

What were you doing that was so urgent you lost track of her?

I wasn't fooling around.

I was just trying to buy her a dress...

I told you we didn't need anything!

I said we don't need anything, so please, just stay away!

Showing up now, trying to play dad?

Causing all this trouble!

What about Su Jin?

My baby, my baby...

A kite.

A kite, a kite!

Kite.

Su Jin's kite! Her kite!

- Where? - Where?

Where is it!

Su Jin!

Uncle...

Hey, you...

It's okay. I'm here now. It's okay.

You're okay. It's okay, you're okay.

I'm here now, so you're fine.

I'm here now, so you're fine. It's okay.

Su Jin.

Mom!

It's okay. We found her, so it's all right.

Stop crying, both of you. It's okay.

Don't cry. You're okay.

Hey, buddy.

Got a light?

How's it going?

Finding any work these days?

The guys with skills get picked up right away.

The rest of us just have to get lucky.

Looks like another bust today.

It always comes down to skill.

When I land a job,

I'll treat you to a proper meal.

To pay you back for the light.

That said...

You got enough for a drink, buddy?

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

One, two, three, four. Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two.

Stop.

Stop.

Number 11.

Yes?

Have you got no rhythm?

Why do you keep missing the beat?

In a group dance,

if one person messes up the moves, it ruins the whole dance. Get it?

From the front, it's painfully obvious.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Just moving side to side seems a little too simple.

- Right. - So instead of side to side,

How about a little spin like this and then end with that?

Okay, like this?

One, two, three.

How's that?

All right, everyone. Get ready.

And... go!

One, two, three, four, one, two.

One, two, three, four, one.

Oh, you're all doing great!

Good!

Let's take it from the top.

Ready and go!

One, two, three, four.

One, two.

Left, right, left, right.

Again.

One, two, three...

Left, right.

Why can't I get this?

You have two left feet, Koh Yeong Rye.

What?

Jong Hee...

You can do this, Koh Yeong Rye.

One, two, three, four.

Left, right.

One, two, three, four, left.

Oh, I'm getting it!

One, two, three, four.

Left, two.

I'm doing it! I'm doing it! I'm doing it!

Again, again.

Ho Suk.

Hey, Ho Suk.

When you sit there with your lips sealed like a clam...

It's scary, you know?

I'm sorry.

I...

I meant to tell you sooner, but...

I just couldn't bring myself to say it.

It's not like you're a stranger.

Like some crazy lady...

"Her dad is Mr. Kim, our driver."

I couldn't just say that, could I?

But still!

You should have told me!

After everything we've been through.

How could you hide something so huge from me?

You must have been hurting so much inside.

Your poor heart must have been all black and blue.

How could you...

How could you!

Oh, my gosh.

Ho Suk.

No, no, I'm the one...

I should've realised sooner.

I should have helped you...

share that burden.

I...

I'm so sorry for being so clueless.

No, don't say you're sorry.

I'm the one who's sorry, okay? It's all my fault.

No, no. I'm the slow one. I'm sorry.

Hey, don't say that. I'm the one who's truly sorry.

This is ridiculous.

That was pretty funny.

You said you'd only stay for a few days.

Why haven't you left yet?

How many days has it been already?

I'm going to, I am.

I need to find a job and make money, so I can get a motel room.

But there's no work. None at all.

I keep coming up empty-handed.

It's over already? Is there anything else fun on?

The 40 finalists of the 1989 Miss Korea Pageant...

have now begun their training camp.

Chosen from regional preliminaries, the contestants...

will spend the next three weeks participating in various programs...

- and community service. - My sister.

There, right there! That's my sister!

That's your sister?

Yeah, that's right. My sister.

Gosh. She's got some nerve.

I mean, I went to her workplace as soon as I got out of the joint,

but she was gone.

So how did she end up on...

Gosh, this is a real shocker.

Her old workplace...

You mean Cheongah Bus?

Wait a second. How do you know that?

Did you work at Cheongah Bus?

So, you're telling me...

that bus conductor Seo Jong Hee from Cheongah Bus...

is your sister?

I'm telling you, she is.

There's definitely something else going on.

She's got a sponsor. I'm telling you.

If we play this right, we could get something out of it.

Don't you think so?

Okay, can everyone hear me?

- Yes! - Yes!

Normally, you can't leave camp during the training period.

But you have all endured a gruelling practice schedule the last few days.

And you've outperformed any group before you.

As a result, we've managed to finish everything ahead of schedule.

So, with special permission from the chairman,

I'm granting you all a half-day leave as a reward.

You must be back by 9pm.

Anyone back late will get demerits, so make sure you are on time.

- Yes! - Yes!

Is she here yet? Do you see her?

No.

I don't see her yet.

Is that her now? Do you see her?

No, not a sign of her.

It's just been weeks, but I'm already dying to see her.

She'll be here when it's time.

Stop being so antsy and just wait.

Hello.

She's here, she's here! It's Yeong Rye!

- Yeong Rye! - Hey!

- Hey! - We thought you'd never get here.

Oh, honey, how have you been? My gosh, is the food okay? Is it?

They're not feeding you like a bird, are they?

You look like you've lost weight.

Being Miss Korea is one thing, but you have to eat well.

I'm okay, Mom. I've been eating and doing fine.

Su Jin, have you been well?

- She missed you so much. - Have you been good?

Yes.

Gosh, Mom, you made so much food.

I can't afford to gain any weight.

Oh, it's nothing special.

Just some braised ribs and a little stir-fried beef.

And I made your favourite stew and mixed up some glass noodles.

Plus some seasoned veggies and a few savoury pancakes.

What did I even make? Nothing, really.

You're too much.

Anyway, you have to admit she always goes all out.

- Let's eat! - Yes, let's dig in.

- Looks great! Thanks for the food! - Thank you for the food!

- Yeong Rye, have some noodles. - What?

The way she seasons them is the absolute best.

And this. The braised ribs too.

They're perfectly savoury. It makes your mouth dance the samba.

Here, you like the bean sprouts.

And some zucchini pancakes.

Thanks.

Me too! I want to give you some too!

Su Jin, what do you want to give me?

The anchovies!

Gosh, thank you.

Okay, then. I have to try the anchovies from Su Jin first.

It's delicious. So delicious!

Try this too.

By the way, when is Jae Pil supposed to get here?

Yes, I was wondering that too.

Mr. Ma said he's coming right after some seminar or something.

I'm sure he'll be here when he can.

Let's just start eating without him.

This is so good.

Goodness.

Well, look at our Miss Korea! You're looking gorgeous!

How have you been?

Same old Mr. Ma.

Uncle!

Hey there, Su Jin!

Are you enjoying your food?

Come sit over here.

- Any silverware over there? - No, I don't.

All right, cardiopulmonary resuscitation,

or CPR, has two stages. Basic and advanced life support.

So what's the difference between the two?

It's the quality of the resuscitation.

Advanced life support is provided by medical professionals, like doctors.

That's because it's a professional procedure.

Okay, so then, what about advanced life support?

What different types are there?

The fidgety intern over there.

Yes, you.

Go ahead and answer.

Besides chest compressions, there's intubation and epinephrine.

Based on the patient's condition, we can use advanced procedures.

I see you were paying attention.

With more emergency patients from things like traffic accidents,

emergency procedures like CPR are more important than ever.

My goodness. We're running late,

but we still need to do the practical exercise.

Okay, come on up. We're short on mannequins,

so let's go in order, starting from the front.

You're here.

- How have you been? How's your mom? - Fine.

She just called, actually.

She was out of town and just got back to the office.

She's signing urgent papers. She said to get dinner ready.

Are you hungry?

No, I'm okay. Go ahead.

Can I have the flowers?

I'll give them to her myself.

Let's reschedule the board meeting.

I think we'll need some more time to review everything.

Understood.

Well, my daughter is waiting for me.

Yes, of course.

Madam Chairman, a man claiming to be her brother...

is in the lobby asking to see you.

I see. Send him up.

See?

I told you playing that brother card would work.

I opened the door for you, just like I promised.

The rest is on you.

I'm not good with big shots like chairmen.

I tend to get intimidated by guys like that.

Just keep your promise to split it 50-50, got it?

Don't you worry.

You just make sure you keep your end of the deal.

Here.

This is proof that I'm Seo Jong Hee's brother.

And this is the insurance policy our parents took out.

After our parents passed away,

that wench collected the entire insurance payout.

That's the kind of woman she is.

I wonder if you knew that when you adopted her.

You think I would've adopted her without doing a background check?

What?

Stealing the insurance payout...

and gambling it all away? I heard that was her brother.

You're even more of a lowlife than I expected.

Do you think I can be threatened by Jong Hee's background?

Then what if...

What if Seo Jong Hee was a criminal who attempted murder?

Would that be enough to threaten you with?

She stabbed me with a fountain pen.

Seven years ago, at the Cheongah Bus office.

I lost all use of my shoulder and now have a permanent disability.

If I leak this to the press,

it would certainly complicate her shot at Miss Korea, wouldn't it?

Even if that's true, I don't negotiate.

I know how people like you operate.

One time becomes two, and your demands become endless.

If you want to go public, go ahead.

I'll handle it my way.

Then I believe we're done here.

Get home safe.

They said she already left the office.

I wonder what's keeping her.

You should eat something. You must be starving.

I'll reheat the steak.

No, that's okay.

I don't think I'll have time to eat.

Hey, just a second.

Hold on.

Hey!

No way.

Is it true? That Jong Yeon... No.

That Jong Hee stabbed you?

You never told me that.

There was only one reason I decided to work with you.

I thought it would make it easier to get to her.

But...

Now that it's turned out this way, let's just go our separate ways.

Because I'm not giving up, no matter what.

What on earth was she thinking? Honestly, that girl...

This just makes things more complicated for me.

Hello, is this the Hyeonseong Daily News?

This is about one of the Miss Korea contestants.

I have a tip for you.

Yeong Rye!

Yeong Rye!

Koh Yeong Rye!

Han Jae Pil?

The umbrella! Get under!

Jae Pil.

I'm so sorry.

My seminar ran super late.

I called your house,

and they said you'd already left, so I tried to grab a cab, but...

I've missed you so much.

I've missed you so much, Koh Yeong Rye.

Me too.

I've missed you so much too, Han Jae Pil.

You should have used this umbrella. Why did you come out in the rain?

I was just in a hurry to see you.

You've gotten even more handsome since I saw you last, Mr. Han.

I doubt that.

I've been losing sleep thinking about a certain someone.

Here.

What's this?

This is delicious.

- Is it good? - Yes.

And I already ate a huge meal before I came.

But I still have room for this.

I came out on leave, and I'll go back looking like a pig.

A pig is fine.

A hamster is fine. You don't have to win Miss Korea.

All I need is you.

Hey, Han Jae Pil.

You've gotten a little cheesy while I was away, haven't you?

What, did you take a class on how to sweet-talk someone?

Hey, stop it.

- Stop it. - Okay, now your left...

- Hey! - All right, all right.

Want some?

Yes, I do.

Watching you eat is making me hungry.

Okay, say "Ah."

Mom.

Did you come straight here?

I was waiting for you at the house...

Your brother and a man...

who said he was the labour manager for the bus company came by.

He said you nearly killed a man.

He threatened to go to the press about the attempted murder.

Why do I have to endure threats from scum like that?

Just how low have you sunk?

I'll take care of this and keep it quiet.

In return, you make sure you win the crown, no matter what.

That's the only way this humiliation I've suffered will be worth it.

Jong Hee.

- Jong Hee. - Let go of me.

What happened?

What on earth is going on?

What could possibly have happened...

that would make your own mother come all this way to hit you?

This...

This isn't the first time, is it?

She's sweet to you when she feels like it,

but she gets angry and hits you when she's upset?

Is that how you've lived as their daughter?

Is it?

Why do you live like that?

Why?

I don't care if you're from a wealthy family.

This isn't happiness, is it?

Why do you put up with all that just to be their daughter?

That's not like you.

Why do I live like this?

You really don't know?

It's because of you.

I was so happy at Cheongah Bus.

Going to your place on my days off,

secretly making ramyeon with Jeong Bun and Ho Suk...

That was the first time in my life I'd ever felt true happiness.

So why do you think I left?

Why did I...

Why did I say things I didn't even mean...

and tell Jae Pil we should break up?

Why would I do that?

What are you talking about?

You broke up with Jae Pil...

because of me?

I knew it the whole time.

That you had a crush on Jae Pil.

I knew it all back then.

Jong Hee...

But I shouldn't have done that.

I shouldn't have broken up with him, pretending not to know about it.

You...

You have a family that truly cherishes you,

and you have Jeong Bun and Ho Suk. But I...

I...

What do I have to be so proud of?

I don't have anything.

I have absolutely nothing.

No way.

Can you believe how fast time flies? My goodness.

It feels like...

just the other day Yeong Rye left for the training camp,

and now the competition's here.

I heard they're taping the pre-show today.

Fast? What are you talking about?

For a guy like Jae Pil, I bet 3 weeks felt like 3 years.

You're right. He was so obviously moping around, wasn't he?

I guess he cares more about Yeong Rye than me now.

Of course. You care about Yeong Bae more than me.

But if this keeps up,

won't our family tree be complicated?

If we become double in-laws or something...

There you go again, getting ahead of yourself.

They're just middle schoolers. What do you mean, double in-laws?

Hey, you never know what the future holds.

Right?

I'm all for it. What's wrong with double in-laws?

Anyway, can you imagine how nervous Yeong Rye must be?

My heart is pounding like crazy just thinking about it.

(Miss Korea Pageant Pre-show)

Look forward.

And get that smile on your face now.

Confidence comes from your posture,

and poise comes from your smile.

Shoulders back, core tight.

That's it.

Of all days, why won't my makeup go on right?

This is driving me crazy.

Gosh, her dark circles...

She has them.

Jong Hee, did you not get any sleep last night?

Yes, not much.

Concealer. Quick, bring the concealer!

Hurry!

All right, everyone, may I have your attention, please?

The president of the firm sponsoring our Miss Korea pageant...

is here to give you a few words of encouragement.

Please, everyone, rise and greet him.

Right this way, sir.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Jeong Hyeon, CEO of Hwashin Apparel.

Wait, what are you doing here?

How are you the sponsor's CEO?

It just worked out that way.

It's not like I planned it.

It was something my father always did.

But when I took over apparel, it fell to me.

I did turn down being a judge, though.

I wasn't sure I could be objective.

That's a shame.

If you were a judge, I would've had it in the bag.

Oh, really?

Well, should I go tell them I'll do it then?

No, no. It's okay.

I was already nervous enough,

but I'm just glad to see you.

- It's a real confidence boost. - I'm glad.

Yeong Rye, do you know why they called him Daddy-Long-Legs?

Gosh, I don't really remember...

Because all she ever saw was his long shadow walking away.

Even though I'm not a judge...

I'll always be right behind you, watching over you like a shadow.

Don't you forget it. Do your best, okay?

Actually...

I was hoping I'd get to see you.

What you said to me last time...

It's okay.

I know.

Right now, let's just focus on the pageant.

Come here. Let me give you a hug for good luck.

Do great out there, my Ugly.

And with that...

The 1989 Miss Korea Pre-show,

a night of excitement and anticipation...

has now come to an end.

To the audience who stayed to the end, thank you so much.

Following tonight's event,

we hope you'll join us for the final Miss Korea competition tomorrow.

We look forward to your continued support.

Good night, everyone.
