All language subtitles for Until the Sun Meets the Star (1)

Dad, I miss Mom.

Your mother isn't gone.

She's up there,

on a star somewhere in the sky.

And if you're a good girl,

the angels will send her back to you.

Mom won't come back.

Why, sweetheart?

How can people come back after they die?

You have to believe in goodness, my dear.

Goodness creates miracles.

Remember that.

Don't cry, my dears. Don't cry.

Your mother is at peace now.

It's just us who are left to struggle.

From now on,

Sasi and Pathawee

will be living here with me.

I want everyone in this house to know.

Your first wife's bones
haven't even been scattered in the river,

and you're bringing your mistress home?

This is my house.

I can bring whoever I want here.

It's none of your business.

Both of you,

bow to your Aunt Sasi.

Shameless!

Promtawan!

Who taught you to speak like this?

It was you, wasn't it?
You poisoned their minds!

Oh, please. No one needs to teach them.

Even a toddler could figure this out.

Fine.

Promtawan, come here.

I said, come here!

You're too stubborn. Come here!

You've got a smart mouth, huh?

- Here!
- Don't, Dad!

Insolent brats, both of you!
Fine, you'll see!

Please, don't.

- Don't.
- They're your children.

If you want to beat them to death, do it.

Do it!

Promtawan!

Promtawan!

If anything happens to my grandchildren,

you will take responsibility!

MRS. JITSUDA BOWORNWISUT
BORN: MAY 24, 1974 - DIED: APRIL 27, 2008

Go back to Grandma first.

Go now.

17 YEARS LATER

I'm leaving now.

Aunt Phit. Let me help you.

Let me help.

Thank you, Nubdao.
Where are you off to today?

I have a job interview.

- I hope you get the job, sweetheart.
- Thank you.

Alright.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Can you stand up?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Dashing onto the street,
trying to get killed?

You're the one at fault.
This is a residential area.

- Why weren't you slowing down?
- I was in a hurry.

Then wake up earlier.

Well, nobody got hurt,
so let's just move on.

Wait.

What now?

You haven't apologized to the boy yet.

I see.

So, you two are running a scam together?

Fine.

How much do you want?

- What?
- Compensation.

Isn't that what you're after?

Take it, so we can end this.

Here. Take it.

And you?

How much do you want?

Money can't buy everything.

True, but only if
you don't have enough of it.

At the very least,
your money can't buy me.

Well, you never know.

I'm sure of it.

Because after this,
we'll never meet again.

Maybe in the next life in the afternoon.

I hate people who can't be punctual.

And on your first interview day,

you're already late by…

21 minutes.

I sincerely apologize.

Something unexpected happened on the way.

I hate people who make excuses.

They always make excuses
out of everything.

I've been working here for 27 years,

probably before you were even born.

I've met all kinds of people.

I can see right through you
the moment you speak.

I take full responsibility for my mistake.

But please, just give me
a chance to be interviewed.

No. Rules are rules.

And punctuality

is a core value of Oriental Paradise!

Please, I'm begging you.

No.

Your time is up.

Go home.

Wait.

Mr. Kim!

I'll handle her interview myself.

Yes, sir.

Surprised?

I guess the "next life"
came sooner than expected.

Miss Nubdao Prateepkamol,

25 years old.

But you haven't finished
your bachelor's degree yet?

I took a break. This is my final semester.

My transcript is attached at the back.

GPA 4.00 every semester?

You're quite the nerd.

If you're this smart,
why did you drop out?

My family had financial problems,
so I had to put my studies on hold.

So, you were desperate for money.

Are you actually
interviewing me for this job?

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Relax, Miss Nubdao.

The Front Office position you applied for
requires patience

and the ability to handle pressure
from all kinds of customers.

I understand that,

but it seems like
you're more interested in messing with me.

You think I'm getting back at you
for arguing with me this morning?

Aren't you?

I know how to separate business
from personal matters.

You don't have to worry about me
being unfair to you, Miss Nubdao.

Do you have any other questions for me?

Yes, an important one.

Do you think

money can buy everything?

I knew you would kick that woman out.

Ms. Sanguansri,

if that woman comes back,

- bring her to me.
- Yes, sir.

Do you think money can buy everything?

I still stand by what I said.
Money can't buy everything.

Oh? And what exactly can't money buy?

Yourself, perhaps?

Huh?

Happiness.

Money can't buy happiness,
no matter how much of it you have.

Money can't buy happiness?

That's just something poor people say
to comfort themselves.

Think about it.

If you had money,
you'd have had opportunities.

You would have graduated a long time ago

instead of struggling to find a job.

Happiness isn't the same for everyone.

Even if I don't live in luxury,

even if I haven't finished my studies,

I'm absolutely sure I'm happier than you.

Bold words.

I'd love to know
where you get that confidence from.

Because

people who are truly happy
don't belittle others' struggles.

If there's nothing else,
I'll be going now.

Stupid mouth.
I shouldn't have argued with him.

Nubdao!

- Namfah.
- How did it go? Did you get the job?

I'm lucky he didn't throw me out.

That's okay. If they don't take you,
someone else will.

You're this amazing.

Just graduate soon and come help me work.

This is my final year.

Once I pay everything off,
I'll be done for sure.

Nubdao, I'm so hungry,
I could eat a whole farm of pigs.

Let's go home.

- A whole farm?
- Yes.

Then I'll make…

deep-fried pork for dinner.

Deal.

Let's go.

Please forgive me.

Uncle Pu! What are you doing?

Nothing. I didn't do anything.

Again?

I'm just borrowing it for a bit.

No. That's Namfah's tuition money.
Give it back.

Just a little. I'll pay it back.

Gambling never made anyone rich.

You don't understand.
This is called "investment with risks".

Uncle Pu! Give the money back!

Relax.

- I'll be back!
- Uncle Pu!

You thief of an uncle!
Stealing even your own niece's money!

I'm going!

Here it is.

This is the last egg. Let's share it.

I'm not hungry.

But you haven't eaten all day.
We're out of rice too.

You eat. You need energy to study tonight.

But you need energy to work
on your translation job too.

If I eat, I'll get sleepy.
No work will get done.

Oops.

Then I'll eat, okay?

Mhm, eat a lot.

225 BAHT

Nubdao, Pu stole
from you again, didn't he?

I saw that bastard running off
with a smug look on his face.

That rotten scumbag…

He even dares to steal from his own niece.

It's okay. I can earn it back.

Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry?

Here, take this.

That's a lot…

I feel bad taking it.
You need to sell these.

Don't worry about it.

Eat as much as you can,

and keep the rest for yourself
and your sister tomorrow.

Namfah.

Aunt Phit gave us this.

Nubdao!

We're saved!

- This will last us for days.
- What do we have?

I told you not to mess this up.

I'm sorry, sir.

I didn't expect someone else
to snatch that land from us.

That was a prime location.

Finding another like it won't be easy.

Just thinking about it
makes me regret losing it.

I planned to build
the new Oriental Paradise there.

I'll find an even better one for you.

Just wait a little more, sir.

Wait?

Yes, sir.

Some things have their own timing

and cannot wait.

Just like this tea.

Ugh!

Your failure

cost me dearly.

My entire plan

is now ruined.

Everyone makes mistakes.

But not the people who work for me.

Yos.

Yes, sir.

Sir, please. I'm sorry.

Yos,

punish him for me.

And find me a more competent agent.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Yos.

No, please!

Here's some hot bird's nest soup.

Oh.

Just what I needed.

You really know me.

You're home late.
The doctor told you to rest more.

I had to take care of things at the hotel.

Honestly, just being near you
feels like a break already.

Ugh. I want to throw up.

Do you have to start drama
the second you walk in?

Did you get a tattoo?

You see it. Why ask?

Why would you ruin your body like this?

- Hey…
- Didn't you see?

She does this to spite me.

She just got home. Speak to her nicely.

Bravo.

You should win an acting award.

But no matter how much
you act like a saint,

a mistress is still a mistress.

You'll never fool me.

Where are you going?

Anywhere far from annoying fake people.

Tawan, stop.

Wait!

Look at her.
This is what kids are like today.

Just give her time.

One day, she'll understand.

Has Kim come back yet?

Mr. Kim.

Can I stay the night?

No one ever stays the night.

Then I'll be the first.

Go get dressed.

When will I see you again?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

You mean

you're just going to throw me away?

I gave myself to you.

This ruins my reputation.

You had fun.

I had fun.

Win-win. What more do you want?

Hm?

I won't accept this.

Won't accept it?

How much?

That's your price.

200,000 BAHT

When will you love me, Kim?

It's late. Talk to him tomorrow.

Kimhan,

I have something important
to talk with you.

Is it urgent? I'm exhausted.

You're useless.
I can't rely on you for anything.

Haven't I done

enough already?

Don't forget

who gave you everything you have today.

Wasn't it me?

I built all this for you,

so you could live a comfortable life.

You have money to spend every day.

And what about Mother?
Where did you throw her away?

She helped you build this life,
and you abandoned her.

Even on the day Mom died,
you were sleeping with her.

Ever since this woman entered our house,

you forgot everything.

You forgot Mom.
You forgot me. You forgot my sister.

And who do you think killed Mom?

Who do you think made her
waste away in sorrow? It was you.

Because of you!

Because of your mistress!

But I love her!

She makes me happy!

Oh, so she must be amazing in bed, huh?

You little--

Is this what you want?

Go ahead.

Hit me. What are you waiting for?

Get out of here!

I don't want to see your face anymore!

Ever since this woman entered our house,
you forgot everything.

You forgot Mom.
You forgot me. You forgot my sister.

And who do you think killed Mom?

Who do you think made her
waste away in sorrow? It was you.

Because of your mistress!

But I love her! She makes me happy!

Is he even human?

His wife is dying,

and he doesn't even show up
to see her one last time.

Too busy with his damn mistress.
Absolutely despicable.

Kimhan,

if I'm not here anymore,

take care of your sister.

Yes, Mom.

But where are you going?

Promtawan,

don't be naughty.

Listen to your brother.

Yes, Mom.

Mother,

please take care of my children.

Of course.

It's just two kids. I can raise them.

Kimhan…

- Mom!
- Mom!

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

I will protect everything
that belonged to you

with my life, Mom.

Did you finish your work last night?

I did,

but I won't get paid until next month.

Good thing Aunt Phit gave us food.
We survived another meal.

And it's all because of Uncle Pu.

Nubdao, is Uncle Pu
really our blood relative?

Of course, he is. Why do you ask?

He doesn't seem to care about us at all.

He only ever causes problems.

If Mom and Dad were still here,
things would be different.

Dad and Mom are at peace now.

Hurry and eat,
or you’ll be late for class.

Lost everything again, didn't you?

Namfah! You're the one who jinxed me!
Damn unlucky.

You wasted all of my savings.
Money that was meant for Namfah's tuition.

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

I'll find a way to pay you back.

Stop nagging already.

Everything looks delicious!

Nubdao, get me a plate.

I'm starving. Hurry up!

Uncle!

- Uncle!
- Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle!

Ugh, my noodles.

Today, I need to find a job.

Should I drop out and work to help you?

No way. You have to graduate.
I'll handle the money.

But you couldn't finish school
because you had to support me.

I don't want to be a burden.

I already feel like
I'm taking too much from you.

Let me help you, please.

Namfah, listen to me.

We only have each other.

We need to support one another.

Today, I take care of you.

Tomorrow, when you graduate,
you can help me.

We rely on each other.

No one's taking advantage of anyone.

Then I'll clean the house this evening.

Let's go.

Can you mop, too?

Alright, fine.

I'm really sorry, dear. I can't hire you.

Please, I really need this job.

- Please.
- I have to ask my boss first.

HIRING ONE CASHIER

Hello.

Really?

Yes, I can make it. Fifteen minutes?

I'll be there right away.

I will hire you

as a Front Office Trainee.

Yes.

Since you haven't graduated yet,

you must pass all three tests

from different departments

without a single mistake.

Do you accept?

I accept.

But let me warn you.

I hate

people who talk big and sound impressive

but are utterly useless
when it comes to actual work.

I won't let you down, Ms. Sanguansri.

Good.

Then, let's begin the first test.

The Front Office is one
of the most important departments.

It is the face of the hotel

to welcome the guests.

This is the floor plan
and the complete list of room numbers

at Oriental Paradise.

You have 15 minutes

to memorize the locations
of all the rooms,

banquet halls,
conference rooms, restaurants,

and recreational areas.

Not a single mistake is allowed.

Let's start counting down.

Has your chest pain subsided?

Yeah.

It comes and goes.

Who knows when I'll drop dead.

You need to take better care of yourself.

Exercise a little.
And most importantly, don't stress.

How can I not stress?

Look at Promtawan and Kimhan.

The fact that I'm not insane by now
is a miracle.

Kimhan left for work early this morning.

Was there an urgent matter at the hotel?

Work?

That guy?
He's probably out juggling his women,

making sure
his "train schedules" don't collide.

That alone keeps him
too busy to actually work.

Maybe what he really needs
is someone to understand him.

Have you ever tried?

You were just like this

when you were young.

Even worse.

But I stopped everything
the moment I met you.

Well.

If only Pathawee were here.

At least I could count on him.

When is he coming back from Paris?

He's finished his studies,

but he's taking some time to travel.

He'll be back soon.

Time's up!

Let the test begin.

Where is the Phuang Kram Conference Room?

12th floor, Room 1204, North Wing.

12th floor, Room 1204,

North Wing.

Where is the International Restaurant?

The International Restaurant
is on the second floor.

East Wing.

Where are the fitness center and sauna?

Fitness room, second floor.

Room 201.

Sauna is on the same floor,

Room 203.

South Wing.

What about the Luxury Suites?

All of them?

All of them.

19th floor.

- Rooms 1901 to 1905,
- Rooms 1901 to 1905, North Wing.

North Wing.

20th floor.

Rooms 2010 to 2015, East Wing.

- And Rooms 2027 to 2029.
- Rooms 2027 to 2029,

South Wing.

That's incredible.

I've worked here for ten years

and still can't recall
those luxury suite room numbers.

Fine. You pass the first test.

You really are something, aren't you?

The second test…

I hope you perform as well as the first.

But let me warn you. This one is tougher.

I'm ready.

Oriental Paradise has a history
spanning over three decades.

We've overcome many crises

to become the leading hotel we are today.

Do you know who founded this place?

Mr. Techit Bowornwisut,
Mr. Kimhan's father.

Not yet. That's not the full answer.

The founder of Oriental Paradise

wasn't just Mr. Techit.

That's the easy answer.
Anyone could say that.

But the truth is,

there was another co-founder
from the very beginning.

If you're applying to work here,

don't tell me you don't even know
who built this place.

I hate people

who don't respect
the hands that feed them.

That's harsh, Miss Sanguansri.

Please let me get this job.

MR. ARAN JIRACHAWALAI
1968 - 1998

Nubdao!

Mr. Aran Jirachawalai?

How did you know?

I saw his statue
in the garden behind the hotel.

The second test, passed!

Yes?

Thank you!

Don't celebrate yet.

You have one final test.

Tomorrow, Mr. Kimhan,

Vice President of Oriental Paradise,

will personally assess you.

You really are interesting,

Nubdao.

What kind of brother is Uncle Pu?

He doesn't even have
a single picture of Mom.

Hey, your house burned down.

It was good enough
I saved you two, wasn't it?

Did you make that up?
Dad never told me about that.

Why would I make this up?

If I hadn't pulled you out, you wouldn't
be standing here arguing with me now.

You should show some gratitude.

And who knows?
Maybe you just made that story up.

How many of the five precepts
do you even keep?

Namfah!

Show your uncle some respect!

Respect?

You're a grown man
who still can't think for himself.

Namfah.

Don't be disrespectful.

Apologize to him.

But Nubdao…

Fine.

I'm sorry.

So, Nub,

did you get the job?

I still don't know.
I have another interview tomorrow.

What the hell? This hotel is very picky.

It's a luxury hotel. They have standards.

When will you find out?

Tomorrow. Why?

Well, I wanted
to discuss business with you.

I knew it. You didn't even have to say it.

Just a hundred, maybe 200?

I don't have any money for you.

What the hell, Nubdao?

I've raised you.

By letting us feed ourselves?

You took all my savings.

I barely have enough for transportation.
Find another way.

Fine.

I'm going now.

Stop!

Are you my niece or my mother?

How were you raised?

How could you even think
of stealing Nubdao's purse?

What is your heart made of?

I really want to hit you.

Whoa, stop!

Freeloaders have it easy.

They just leech off others
their whole lives.

Welcome home.

I hope you enjoy your happiness
built on the suffering of others,

just like what you
and your mother have done to us.

How's working with my brother?

Mr. Kimhan is…

From now on,
never talk to him alone again.

Why can't I talk to Mr. Pathawee?

Because I'm ordering you not to.

Nubdao!

Go see your sister!

Namfah!

Namfah!

Namfah!

Namfah!
