(Episode 16: Love as if you've never been hurt)

What are you doing? Fill the glasses with water.

Hey, Hairy. Bring more beef broth. Hey, bring me some beef broth.

Where did this boy go? I'm so busy here! I should pull out his beard!

Hey!

You want to wash your hands?

Yes.

Well, go ahead then.

What should I do? That was my first kiss... Couldn't he have at least shaved?

Jerk... What will I do? I thought my first kiss was supposed to be sweet.

What a lie!

What's your granny's name?

Chairman Na Hyun-sook.

Wow, you even know my title? Then what's your auntie's name?

Secretary Yoon Hyun-sook.

How old are you, Mi-joo?

I'm 7 years old.

Where are we going right now, my pumpkin Mi-joo?

To kindergarten.

And what will you do there?

I'll dance, since and study. I'll also meet new friends there.

Oh, really? You have many friends?

Yes.

Mi-joo, should we invite your friends over and have fun with them at home?

- Yes. But Grandma... - Yes?

When is Uncle coming home?

Where the heck is that spoiled brat after sending us one lousy postcard?

Well, no news is good news.

- What's this? - My letter of resignation.

(Letter of Resignation)

You're sick of sticking around and arguing all the time?

Are you bored with life?

I want to go on a trip.

If you want to go on a trip, take a few days off. Why are you quitting over this?

It's going to take me a while.

How long? A month?

About 2 to 3 years. I'm going to travel all around the world.

Have you lost your mind? What kind of nonsense is this?

This is the last dream I have in life.

If you're so desperate to go, you should've gone when you were younger. Why now?

Because I thought I would stay young forever.

I lived a comfortable life thanks to you and your husband.

Maybe I was too comfortable. I wasted my whole life.

This is the only thing I can do.

- No. - I already bought the tickets.

Who said you could do that? Cancel everything right now!

I already found my replacement. She's going to take over from next week.

Hey, I'm the boss here, not you!

Hey, doggy! Eat your meal. You should still eat even if your owner is away.

Where in the world is that boy, anyway?

Come on. Aren't you going to eat? Huh? Come out and eat.

Come on. Eat. Come out and eat. Come on. What's wrong with you?

Hurry up and eat. Come on. Good boy, come out. Come on. Hurry!

Come out right now! Eat.

He promised to be away only for a week, but he never returned.

One month passed, followed by another month...

Mi-joo received a postcard from him that said he was doing well.

But I never got a single call or a postcard from him since he left.

I thought I knew how difficult it was to fully understand another person.

I'm here to buy... There are two. This is better, right?

Yes. That's better.

And I never fooled myself that I understood him inside out.

But this is too much... Well, but then again,

I don't even know myself fully, how did I ever think I fully knew him?

I'll take the receipt later and this too. I almost forgot to buy it.

- Have a good day. - Bye.

I'm not sure if I'm still waiting for him, or if I've given up on him.

Can I have 20 of those? How much are they?

- 30 cents each. That's $6 in total. - $6...

- Hello. - Hi there.

- How much is this? - Oh, that's a dollar 50 cents.

- Are they all the same price? - A dollar and 50 cents! That one is $9.

- Sir, will you hold this? - Sure.

- How many so far? Four? - Yes, four.

Sir, will you give this to me for free? Please?

Sure.

Oh, it's so cute. Perfect!

Love like you've never been hurt. By Alfred D. Suja.

Dance like no one's watching.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Work like you don't need money.

Live like you're in heaven on earth.

Yes, I really wanted to do that.

I wanted to love as if I've never been hurt before. But... It's happened again.

I want to change that sentence to,

"Do not fall in love, unless you want to be hurt."

Kim Sam-soon?

What are you doing here?

What? You met that guy again?

Yes. He asked me out to go watch a movie this weekend.

So what did you say? You better not have said no.

I agreed to go out with him.

You did? Great. Wonderful! That's the best thing you've ever done.

If he still asks you out after being rejected twice, he must really be interested in you.

This is fate. Forget all about Sam-shik and try to work things out with him. Okay?

Hey! Kim Sam-soon!

Are you still waiting for that jerk?

Waiting for who? We don't even have money to pay our monthly rent!

Who cares about him?

Yeah! That's the spirit.

What went wrong, anyway? We made our own homepage two months ago,

but we still don't even have a single order.

I wish people would visit our homepage and order from it.

How many visitors today?

7 people.

See? It's all because of the name.

I told you that we should go for MoMo.com, didn't I? MoMo!

It's too late to change the name.

If only our shop came out on TV just once, we'd be flooding with orders.

No. Those TV shows would make a shop that opened a year ago

sound as if it opened 30 years ago.

Jeez...

(You have an order)

Hey! Sam-soon! Come over here!

- What is it? - Check this out. Isn't this an order?

What?

Let me see.

Look!

Huh? Order? What's this?

What's this? Gangdong-gu Cheonho-dong Samik Apartment?

One honey mousse cake?

(Kim Sam-soon)

Enjoy your cake and have a great day!- From Samsooni

Don't mess it up and behave, okay?

What if we get orders?

We closed orders for today anyway.

I'm so nervous. I'm dying.

Oh, hello.

- Do I look alright? - You look gorgeous.

- Don't I look fat? - You look sexy!

- Does my stomach show? - No, not at all.

I'll be right back.

You look especially pretty today.

Oh, thanks.

There's nobody cuter than Sam-shik.

They really did look good together.

Did you want to go somewhere?

No. I don't care.

Then should we watch a movie first? I have tickets.

Sure.

Isn't he your previous boss?

Who said you could cheat on me? Get out.

I'm sorry for doing this to you again.

Hurry up and get out.

Go.

What do you think you're doing? Get out right now!

Do you know who I am, sir? Do you know me?

Are you joking with me?

Hurry up and let's go. I don't know who he is.

Sam-soon!

Get up!

What's wrong with you?

Get up. Let's go out and talk.

I was too surprised before, but I can't let you do the same thing to me again.

It's for real today.

Well, Sam-soon doesn't want to go with you.

I think there's some kind of misunderstanding, but it's for real today.

She made it clear that she doesn't want to go with you.

Listen, pal, she's my woman.

Hey, sit down, will you? You're blocking the screen.

If you're going to fight, take it outside.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... I'm really sorry.

Let's go. Let's go and talk.

We're history.

What's wrong this time?

You have to explain, so I know what's wrong.

Are you mad at me for not calling you?

I already told you why. I was afraid I'd run back if I heard your voice.

Let's go home. Let's go and talk.

Are you going to keep this up? Do you know how much I missed you?

What's wrong with you? Do you know me?

Hey! Kim Sam-soon, stop right there!

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

For what?

I said, I'm sorry. So stop being so mad.

Who said I'm mad? We're nothing to each other.

What should I do? Should I get down on my knees and beg?

Are you man enough to do that?

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Don't give up, okay? You'll strike it lucky one of these days.

I kind of knew you'd be mad, but aren't you going too far?

If you're so upset with me, you have to explain to me why. And then hear me out.

Let's go to my house.

What? You knew I'd be upset?

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

Then did you also know how much my heart bled and how it was torn apart?

Let's go to my house and talk there.

Do you think I was the only one who was hurt? What about my mother?

She was worried that you might have gotten into an accident away from home.

Do you know how many times she went to the temple and prayed for you?

And what about my sister? She said she didn't like you but deep inside,

she liked you very much and was worried sick about you.

When Mi-joo got your postcard, do you know how much we felt betrayed?

But my mom still said that she was happy that you didn't get into any accidents.

She was so relieved.

Who do you think you are? Who the hell do you think you are to hurt us like this?

But I sent you postcards.

What? In your dreams?

You didn't get them?

Oh, you drive me crazy. You really do!

Who is it?

It's me, Mother, Jin-heon.

I'm back safe and sound. Please open the door for me, Mother.

You wait right there!

Hello, Mother.

Who are you to call me Mother? I don't need anyone who hurts my daughter.

Don't ever come back here!

And you! Come here! Come here!

Take him back. You'd better be thankful that I didn't sell him off!

Hey, what the heck happened anyway?

Oh, whatever... This is crazy.

The soup is kind of salty, isn't it?

Your taste in food changes as you get older.

Well, you have to know that I'm aging. Try to understand me.

What are we going to do with the leftover food now we don't have a dog anymore?

That's right. We'll just have to throw out more trash, I suppose.

Who could it be at this hour?

An elderly man came to my store after drinking last night.

He was complaining of postcards that kept on being delivered to his house.

Huh?

Since a postcard came almost every single day,

he couldn't throw them away and started to save them.

And then he said the receiver's name was "Sam-soon" and what a funny it was.

So I thought they were sent to you, Sam-soon.

What's all this?

Then he sent all these postcards to the wrong address?

This is the city of coffee, Seattle. I went to the first branch of Starbucks.

I didn't see much difference in the taste.

I' m staying at a three-star hotel where I can view all of downtown from my room.

But it's not very clean.

This is just incredible. I'm not crazy about gambling,

but I brought $100 and lost everything within 10 minutes.

Since the entire city is filled with tourist sights, the hotels here are incredible!

I'm staying at the Grand Hyatt Hotel that is situated near Broadway theaters.

This is the most expensive hotel that I've stayed at.

I can hear you yelling at me for wasting money all the way from here.

But I'm learning a lot from this place, although it's a bit pricey.

The night view is breathtaking. I wish you were here with me.

Sam-soon, I miss you.

What's my address?

You said you sent postcards. What's my address?

Seoul, Jongno-gu Buam-dong, St. 27...

Read this!

(Seoul, Jongno-gu Buam-dong St. 17 Park Bong-sook)

You're an idiot, aren't you?

First, you have to apologize to my mom.

If Mom forgives you, I will too,

but if she doesn't, I can't forgive you either.

I'm back, Mother.

Hmph!

I first went to the US to take my friend home.

But while I was staying there, I came up with good ideas.

Since I'll be 30 years old soon, I should get married.

And I was worrying about how to provide for Sam-soon and you, since you're aging.

I was thinking about my future and then thought that it might be a good idea

to go to large cities and stay at different hotels.

Just as you have to try many foods to cook tasty dishes...

Although I did spend a few month's worth of profits of my restaurant,

I still think it was worth it.

But wasn't two months rather long?

And I went around places meeting my friends.

It's still too long.

I traveled here and there. Since it'll be my last trip alone.

So did you like traveling all alone?

Huh? How was it?

I realized once again, how much people around me mean to me.

Then couldn't you have at least called? There wasn't a phone there?

Well... I was afraid I would jump on the next flight if I heard Sam-soon's voice.

That's why I decided to write her instead. But I was wrong.

Please forgive me, Mother.

What do you think, Sam-soon? Can you forgive him?

I don't know. You decide, Mom.

He's your boyfriend. Why are you telling me? If you forgive him, I'll let it go.

You decide, Mom.

No, you decide.

Didn't you say I had no eye for men?

Should we go to karaoke together one more time?

Who told you to laugh?

Did you have dinner yet?

No, not yet, Mother.

I don't approve of any man being my son-in-law if he skips meals.

Don't ever skip your meal again.

Yes, Mother.

You should have dinner while you're here.

Mother, can I borrow Sam-soon for one night?

What do you want?

Is that the first thing you can ask me about?

Have a seat. It hurts my neck to look up.

Did you know that Jin-heon is back?

He stopped by earlier.

Boy, he's fast.

I don't like that casual tone of voice when you speak to me.

What's wrong with it? Go ahead and speak casually to me, too.

I don't talk so casually to someone I'm not close to.

I wonder what you're thinking. You're as cunning as a snake and fox.

We're not close, you say? Then how do you explain our relationship?

I think we're as close as any couple can get.

Stop saying "we." What if people misunderstand that we're dating?

I'm going crazy! I wish I could go inside your head to look at what you're thinking.

What do you think about these days?

- These days? - Yes.

How I can sell more cakes. That's all I think about.

Really? Then why don't you think about me too?

And think about what I said about moving in together.

I already said "no" to that issue.

I won't make you clean or do the laundry. I'll do everything myself.

All you have to do is sit and eat with me everyday.

I already have somebody to eat my meals with.

Don't you get sick of eating with the same people everyday? Change that!

I'm not sick of them at all.

What are you going to do when you get older? I can see what's going to happen.

Your mother will be in heaven,

and your sisters will be busy with their own families.

And you'll be left all alone as an old granny. Do you want to die alone?

I'm going to a nice facility called "Silver Town" when I get old.

I already have insurance and a pension plan.

Why don't you invest in me? Trust me! I'll guarantee you a lifetime of happiness.

No, thanks.

Well, since I came all the way here, let me say hello to your mother.

Are you crazy?

Yi-young?

Yes.

You think you can run away? Let's see who wins.

Who is it?

Hello, Mother. My name is Lee Hyun-moo.

I'm the boyfriend of your second daughter.

Hey, do you have a boyfriend?

No. Why do you ask?

Then who is this guy? He says he's your boyfriend.

He's crazy! Mom, never mind him. He's a street vendor. I'll take care of this.

Jeez! Why, that crazy fool!

I'll be right back.

What's this?

You thought you could seduce me with this lousy doll?

Wake up and smell the roses, you fool.

Fine. I'm sorry I'm not cool or attractive. Okay?

I'll be back tomorrow.

I thought you were supposed to take care of everything.

What have you done for the past two months?

Oh!

Who is he to try to act all cute? Jeez.

Where's your ring?

Why did you take it off?

Because I hated you.

If you take it off one more time, you're dead.

If you break my heart one more time, you'll be dead.

How much weight did you lose?

None.

Why not?

I get fatter when I'm under stress.

What? I can't wait any longer. It's been over one month.

I can't wait, either.

I'll eat you alive.

And I'll suck every last drop out of your lips.

Wait!

What?

But you never told me that you loved me.

So what?

It matters to me. I won't do it unless you tell me you love me.

Must I say it for you to know how I feel?

Yes, you must.

- Oh, forget it. - Forget what?

I want to hear you say "I love you."

You're so childish.

So what if I'm childish. There's nobody else but us anyway. Come on.

- No. I won't. - Why not?

I've never said those words...

Why are you so surprised?

You never said it to Hee-jin, either?

No.

Really?

Yes.

Then what about to Mi-joo?

That's different. She my niece.

But anyway, you must have said you loved Mi-joo, right?

No, I haven't.

Something is seriously wrong with your personality, huh?

Why are you being so harsh over something like that?

Over something like that? How can you not have said that your entire life?

Are you a real human with a heart?

Then what about you?

I've said "I love you" millions of times.

To Min Hyun-woo?

You think I say "I love you" only to guys?

Family and friends... You have to express your love for them often.

What for? It's the heart that matters.

Love has to be expressed. If you don't show it, how can people know?

What's the difference? As long as I love you in my heart, why should I express it?

It's different. You can't get enough of praises and sweet words. Get it?

You're so childish.

Human beings are supposed to be childish.

I don't think this is the time for this silly dispute. Don't you think so?

I must...

I must fix your serious disease of heart. Tell me you love me right now.

Let go of me. Hey!

Say you love me.

Let go of me!

Unless I do this, I don't think I can cure you. Come on. Say it!

I'm really going to get mad.

Come on!

It takes one word. Say it.

- I love you. - Louder.

I said, I love you.

Louder! One more time!

I love you!

Why do you have to be so strong?

Were you hurt? I'm going to let it slip this time,

but next time, say it from the bottom of your heart. Okay?

We wasted our energy on the wrong thing.

Wait!

What is it this time?

What if I get pregnant? Do you have "it"?

Do you?

No.

Hurry up and go buy one. Come on.

Where the heck am I supposed to buy a condom in the middle of the night?

There's a convenience store right across the street. Run along.

How can I go at this hour?

Do you want me to wear my wedding gown with my stomach this big?

- You already look pregnant anyway. - Jerk!

My belly fat... Hurry up and go! Hurry! Come on. Hurry up and go.

Come on! Hurry up! Go right now!

Hurry back, darling.

Good luck, sweetheart!

- Do you have... It? - Huh?

You know...

Know what? What are you looking for?

No. Never mind. Thanks, anyway.

Why isn't he here yet? Did he go to a condom factory?

Huh? You... Sam-sook! You were watching us, weren't you?

Why you! You're so naughty, you know that?

Don't look!

What kind of phone number is this?

Hello?

This is Hee-jin.

Hello?

It's been long time.

Where are you?

I'm in the US.

Well, what can I do for you?

I heard that you opened your shop.

Yes.

How is it?

Well... Right now, we barely make back the cost of flour.

I'm sure it'll get better soon.

I hope so.

So why did you call?

I called to thank you.

Thank you for making the rice porridge...

And for letting Jin-heon come with me.

Oh, it was nothing. You're calling all the way from the US just to say that?

Do you eat well?

Yes.

Don't skip meals. Okay? There's nothing more precious than your health.

Okay.

Henry! Is Henry doing well?

Yes.

Don't you think about Jin-heon?

I'm too busy with my studies to think about him.

I think you're going to be a good doctor someday.

Why?

Because...

Because a person who's been ill would understand patients the best.

Thank you.

Hee-jin... I hope you don't call me again.

I'm not very comfortable talking to you.

The same goes for me. I won't call you again.

And I won't be seeing you again, either.

Goodbye.

That'll be $4.50 cents.

Hey, you forgot your change.

What's wrong with him?

But he's a hottie. Right? Right?

Yeah.

Oh, hi.

Have you been waiting long?

No, I've been studying.

I have good news and bad news.

Which one do you want to hear first?

The good news! You know me.

The good news is that I get to do what I always wanted to do.

And that is?

I get to work with MSF (Medicin Sans Frontieres).

I get to give food and medicine to children and people who need it.

Things like that.

But... 2 years in Africa, that's the bad news.

2 years?

Yeah.

And you have to go to this?

Well, it's what I've always wanted to do.

Can't you wait?

Wait?

Wait until I finish my study and I become a doctor and we can do this together.

Can't we?

Study. Come on. Hurry up and study.

- Study? - Yeah

Really?

If we're gonna wait, you have to study.

Okay. I promise!

Promise.

Okay. I'll study really hard.

Sit down. I have to study.

Honey, I'm back!

Darling, wake up. Come on.

Sam-soon. Sam-soon.

Don't bother me.

Wake up. Are you just going to sleep?

Do you know the feeling?

The feeling of getting off at an unfamiliar train station... The sun going down.

And you don't have anywhere to sleep... Everything is so quiet around you.

I felt lonely. I felt so lonely that I almost cried.

Every time that happened,

I promised to myself that I would never travel alone ever again.

How do I convince Mother anyway?

So, you're Sam-soon?

Yes.

You're the youngest daughter?

Yes.

How old are you?

I'm 30 years old.

Jin-heon, how old are you this year?

- I'm 27. - Huh? Then she's...

It's trendy to marry older girls these days.

Trendy? Are you saying it's the cool thing to do these days?

Yes.

Then should I search for an older woman myself to look cool?

So what do your parents do?

Her father passed away.

Oh. Then what did he do when he was still alive?

He was in the food business, sir.

Food business? I know quite a few people in that business.

What company did he manage?

It was called "Sam-soon's..."

He ran a rice mill.

Rice mill?

Yes, he ran a rice mill. We handed over the business to our acquaintances.

My mother works in the finance industry.

In finance industry?

She runs a small-sized loan business.

Loan business?

Yes, but it's very small.

I see.

So you bake cakes for a living?

Yes, sir.

I see.

So what do you like about Jin-heon so much?

Sorry?

What do you like so much about him that you want to marry him?

Oh... I like everything about him.

You like everything about him?

Yes, that's a wonderful stage of the relationship!

Auntie!

Oh, hi, Mi-joo. How have you been? How cute!

How have you been?

- Auntie! - Yes?

When will you make cookies for me again?

Any time. That's not a problem. I have my own kitchen now.

Then let's make cookies tomorrow.

Should we do that?

Honey? Bring Mi-joo to my shop, okay?

Sure.

Jin-heon, let me have a word with you.

No. I think she's trying to use Mi-joo to her advantage,

but there's no way. I can't allow Sam-soon as your wife!

I'm going to hand over the restaurant to Mrs. Oh and Mr. Lee.

What?

- I'll join you at your hotel. - What?

You wanted me to come to the hotel? Okay, I'll do it!

But allow me to marry Sam-soon.

You spoiled brat! How can you negotiate your own marriage like this?

- She's pregnant. - What?

She's pregnant.

Oh, I see. Let's go see an obstetrician together tomorrow, then.

You remember Dr. Kim, don't you? He's an obstetrician.

Right. He is... I... So how is he these days?

- Sam-soon. - Yes?

- What? - We should get you pregnant first.

What?

What's wrong? No. I don't want to wear my wedding gown with a big belly.

Unless we do that, you might not be able to wear a wedding gown at all.

That's fine. I'd rather not wear one. I don't want to wear it with a big belly.

You'll still be pretty. Don't worry.

No.

Don't argue with me and come with me.

No, I said, no. I don't want to! This is so embarrassing!

Honey, it's morning.

Oh.

Do you think a stork will bring us a baby?

Yes.

What if I don't get pregnant?

I'm leaving.

You ungrateful fool!

When will you return? Is it really going to take 2 to 3 years?

If I meet someone nice during my trip, I'm just going to settle down.

If you were that lucky, you would be married by now.

Who knows? Maybe my other half will be a man with blue eyes. Bye.

You ungrateful fool! How dare you leave me like this?

Why are you hitting me? It hurts.

If you're going to fly, you should take the morning flight.

Why are you flying so late at night?

Red eye flights are cheaper.

And who told you to fly cheap? Didn't I pay you enough?

Why are you trying to pick a fight with me?

You're such an evil person.

I'll return even if I find a man.

Whatever. Do whatever you want.

I'm really going. Okay?

Call often.

I will.

Auntie, are you going somewhere?

I'm going somewhere nice.

When will you come back?

When you go to elementary school.

Really?

Yes. Be a good girl to your grandma.

Okay.

Huh? Father!

Dad! What are you doing here? This isn't your living room, Dad.

It's okay, since this is only a dream.

Right! A dream... This is only a dream, right?

But what are you doing in someone else's house?

Even I'm embarrassed.

Huh?

You like him?

Yes.

Are you happy?

Yes, Dad.

Good. That's what life is all about. Loving and living happily with that person...

What about you? Are you happy, Dad?

Yes. Death isn't such a bad thing after all.

I'm glad that you're happy, Dad.

Why are you crying, then?

Because I'm too happy.

I'm so happy.

But... I'm afraid that this happiness will end.

Sam-soon...

I'm scared that I might wake up one day. I'm terrified, Dad.

Oh, you silly girl.

Why would you worry over something that didn't even happen yet?

I shouldn't worry, right?

Of course, not. You should be busy living in happiness today.

You shouldn't worry about the future.

You're right.

Don't look back on your past and don't worry about your future.

Just live every day to the fullest.

You're right.

My third daughter, don't get discouraged and keep your chin up, okay?

Okay, Dad.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Good luck...

Good luck!

That night, a stork brought us triplets. And we got married.

Mountain, Field and Ocean... Those are the names of our three babies.

No, actually, it's only in my dream.

This is also my dream.

However, my reality is still here.

(Samsuni Cake, Kim Sam-soon)

However, one of my dreams did come true. Playing the piano for him!

No stork brought us babies that night

and Jin-heon's mother still opposes our marriage.

But we still carry on with our love. We argue, fight, make up, laugh and cry...

We're learning about the beauty of love.

I still think sometimes... We could end up breaking up one day.

That happens all the time with couples.

But I'm determined not to be afraid of what might happen in the future.

Because I'm sure of what I must do. I must bake cakes and love passionately.

As if today were my last day and as if I've never been hurt, I shall love myself!

We're shooting and action movie.
