EPISODE 12

Grandma.

There you are.

Oh, child…

Grandma.

What's wrong? Are you unwell?

No, I…

I'm feeling fine.

How did you know I was here?

I'll take your word for it, then.

I had the feeling you'd be here,
so I came looking.

Goodness.

Are you slacking off
during your work hours?

Oh, Grandma.

Hotels don't work our socks off.

They give us lunch breaks and all.

This is my lunch break.

Are you allowed to be here?

Come on, Grandma.

Aren't you the queen of this hotel?

Nobody would dare say anything.

Grandma, I'm not slacking off.

Consider this as time for your welfare

and stay right where you are.

Grandma, does this feel relaxing?

Indeed, it does feel relaxing.

Wow, Grandma. Your shoulders are so tight.

I had a fair taste of bitterness in life.
That's why.

They have been left neglected for so long.

That's why.

Grandma, I'll make them all go away.

One, two, three, four…

Three, four--

Hey, what's wrong with you?
Get it together, man.

Mr. Ri Moon-seong.

Yes?

There you are.

Don't just stand there. Have a seat.

No, thank you.

I'm working right now,
so I prefer to stay standing.

I have something to tell you. Sit down.

Just give me your laundry.

I don't have time to waste like you.

Quit the accent, will you?

-What do you mean?
-Quit the accent.

You know what? Keep it going.

This is fascinating, now that I know.

Your acting's good.

Keep going.

Comrade Ri Moon-seong.

How much did you practice
to pull that off?

Don't be nervous.

Just because I know the truth

doesn't mean
I'm going to do anything to you.

It's not like I'm family.

I don't want to meddle,
only to worsen the problem.

Sit.

I said, sit.

Well, what is it?

It's odd to hear your Seoul accent too.

Keep it brief.

All right.

I wanted to thank you.

I don't follow.

I'm going to marry Se-yeon, thanks to you.

You were such an eyesore in the beginning.

But look at us now.

Life is unpredictable, right?

Anyway, thank you.

No need to thank me--

No, I mean it.

I'm holding back
because I'm thankful to you.

And one more thing.

That play of yours--

I don't know when it'll end.

But do it quietly and in moderation.

Don't push it.

I'm warning you.

Wait. Take that with you.

Even impostors need to do their job.

But…

will it be a meaningful marriage?

-What did you say?
-Just…

something to consider.

It's been a while
since we spoke like this.

I suppose so.

You've really outdone yourself.

You sound irritated.

No.

I'm being sincere.

Everything I did was
because I deemed it my duty.

I have no regrets about my decision.

In that respect, I hope…

you can keep our secret.

I've been in this play you created
before I even realized it.

Don't worry.

I have my reasons
for wanting this play to end in peace.

Anyway, the kid is a hired actor.

He isn't related to the family.

His reality is worlds apart from yours.

Once this ends,

everything will return to normal.

I'll make sure of it.

"Return to normal," huh?

Will that be possible?

It was better

when I believed that
he was Se-yeon's cousin.

The fact that he's a total stranger

keeps me on edge.

Like there's a thorn in my side.

Does this sound odd to you?

Are you talking about gongalchigi?

Gosh, you call golf that?

-Yes.
-Wow.

The thing is,

Sang-ji is setting up a get-together.

It's obvious she has something
to brag about.

I know you'll be uncomfortable,

but I couldn't possibly turn her down

when she's made reservations
for all six of us.

Why should you? Let's all go.

-Really?
-I actually wanted to see her again.

It's a piece of cake.
Gongalchigi's got nothing on me.

I'm afraid Comrade Ri isn't home yet.

We need to talk.

What are you trying to do?

Sorry?

You must know that I know the truth.

Well…

please turn a blind eye, just this once.

I wanted to do this for Ji-won's sake.

Please go along with it just this once.

Nice shot!

This is my first game of gongalchigi
in the South.

-Huh? What's that?
-Great hit! That ball!

-Wow.
-That's amazing!

Comrade Jin-suk, give that new club
of yours a good swing!

Damn it.

Don't go in. Don't go in.

-Man, I think luck's on my side today.
-Wow! That's amazing!

Maybe it's the fresh air out here,

but those golf balls
are hitting just right.

-Isn't that ri--
-Excuse me.

Is it really your first game?

Oh, well, didn't I tell you before?

It's my first time in the South.

-What?
-I guess you wouldn't know,

but people play gongalchigi
in the North too.

That's right. Comrade Jin-suk,
your play today was exceptional.

Oh, my. Sang-ji.

It's been a while, Sang-ji.
I didn't know you were in Korea.

Who are you?

We were at the same study community.

You were studying for Harvard,
and then I heard…

you didn't make it.

Have you quit your life abroad
to settle down?

Wait. Who are you to come here
and say such things?

-Honey, it's not true.
-Hey.

Didn't you say you graduated from Harvard?

Well, to explain briefly…

-The thing is--
-Graduated? From Harvard?

Is that what you've been saying?

Oh, my. I spoke out of bounds. I'm sorry.

No, honey, that's not it.

-She's mistaken me for someone else.
-She said your name.

She said your name: Sang-ji.

I don't understand.

Who was that?

I'm sorry that
you didn't make it to Harvard.

No, that… That's not…

Don't be too distraught.

Life is recreation, no?

Hey, stop talking nonsense!

Honey! Damn it!

Oh, dear. I'll be seeing you.

Hey, you're good.

Wow.

Ri Moon-seong.

You may have tasted capitalism,

but your punch is lethal as ever.

Met your grandma?

Why does that surprise you?

Isn't the bastard who came looking for you
the type to give up his organs for money?

He said I'd find you
near Chairwoman Ja Geum-sun's house.

He was eager to tell me that.

Time's not on your side.

-What do you mean?
-Jang Jin-suk.

What about my wife?

I came all the way here

because I can find her a liver.

I thought this skillful
and good-looking fella

was on a crazy prowl for money,
so I looked into it.

You sure have a tear-jerker story.

If I pull some strings,

finding a compatible liver
won't be an issue.

Even multiple homicide offenders
can go anywhere in the world

if I pull my strings.

For someone like me,
finding some liver or kidney is no biggie.

How can I trust you?

Ri Moon-seong.

You should save Comrade Jin-suk
while you can, no?

I had the liver,

but I said nothing
because I knew you were broke.

If I knew you had such a grandmother,
I would've pulled them strings already.

Having a grandmother who can buy you
hundreds of livers--

Now, that can make the grim reaper
have a change of heart.

Stop wandering in the gold mine
and dig up some money.

How did it go?

I got what I need during the interview.
Now I'm writing the article.

Speed up the process.
Please tell me before you publish.

All right.

What should I do?

Do you want tomorrow's article
to be about Nakwon's hidden grandson

or about your marriage?

Please write the latter.

There's a price for each article.

Let's help each other out.

If I shift gears here,
Se-jun will never speak to me again.

I'll provide exclusive information
on our hotel.

We'll be the first to know?
Is that a promise?

Yes.

I gave you enough time to think, no?

Your decision's obvious.

Taking any more time
is just avoiding the inevitable.

I need to hear it from you.

Okay, let's do it.

Let's get married.

But I am the general manager here.

It's only sensible
that I get married here.

I'll tell Ra-kyung
to set up a wedding planner.

You can tell her what you need.

Let's make it simple.

You know very well
what your family is like.

They dislike me,
and they look down on my family.

It's upsetting.

So this time,
let's take care of our own families.

Anything else?

No, not yet.

Okay. Let me know if there's anything.

Shall we go?

-Aren't you coming?
-I am.

I wanted to show it to Grandma.

That maybe…

her grandson and his wife
would've lived a happy life.

Comrade Jin-suk.

You're home.

-There was so much laundry today.
-Aren't you tired?

Aren't I tired? Of course I am.

But it's my job.

You're a full-on employee now.

Right?

I'm confused whether I'm an actor
or an hotel employee.

-I get confused too.
-About what?

About what I am.

Hey, come to think of it,

why did you join the theater group?

That's random.

Hey.

I don't know who you are.

Who are you?

Since I was a kid, all I did was study.

That's true for everyone.

Everyone said studying is difficult,
but it was easy for me.

So full of yourself?

My mom always told me
to become a lawyer like her.

So I thought I had to.

It's better to start sooner than later.

All I did was study hard, and I ended up
skipping grades up until college.

Hey.

You… were a real prodigy.

After I finished law school,

things became clear.

I realized I'd done nothing with my life.

I had no friends or memories.

I just…

wanted to make memories
at a place no one knew me.

Theater. For fun.

Acting is fun. Performing in plays is fun.

It's also thrilling to live
as another person.

So this is just…

a memorable experience?

What?

Are you offended
I don't take it seriously?

Goodness. Not at all.
That's not what I meant.

You were only trying
to make good memories,

but perhaps I took it too far

and got you involved in this big mess.

I feel bad.

There's no need.
I do it because I like acting.

Thank you for saying that.

-Why do you think I like it?
-Huh?

What do you think I like about it?

This play.

Forget it. Let's drop it.
Just go wash up and sleep.

Hey, let me answer that question.
I think I know.

Money. It's because of money, right?

It's true we're being overcompensated.

Hey, get lost.

-What?
-I said, get lost.

I wanted to be alone.
Stop bugging me. Get lost.

-What? Hey. Fine.
-Go away.

-Go away. Hurry up and go away.
-Hey, lower your voice!

Forget whether you're a prodigy or not.
Get a hold of that temper first.

-You little-- Come here.
-Your temper…

-Fine, I'm going.
-Go.

Oh, you scared me.

How long have you been standing there?

When you started talking about
how smart you are.

You must've heard everything.

Well, I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

Yoon-hee.

Let's say someone meticulously made

a cat-shaped figurine with chocolate.

Would that make…

just a chocolate or a cat?

-Chocolate, of course.
-That's right.

If you know that it's chocolate.

But for those who don't know?

They won't dare eat it
because they wouldn't know it's chocolate.

What are you trying to say?

If no one tells them the truth,

to them,

it isn't chocolate.

It's simply a cat figurine to them.

It's not important
whether someone is perceptive or not.

It's cold. I think I'll be going in.

Thank you.

So I have to tell him
if I want him to know.

PARK SE-YEON OF NAKWON
TO MARRY BAE DONG-JAE OF WOOSANG

What happened?

Sorry about this.
You understand the situation?

Do you think I'll let this slide?

She threatened to sue
for obstruction of business.

I had no choice but to write this.

Park Se-yeon wasn't one
to be meddled with.

I don't know what's with your family,
but I'm staying of out it.

My apologies.

My gosh. Director Park.

How are you?

You still have Ri Moon-seong, right?

What? Yes, of course.

You told us to keep a low profile for now.

So we did as we were told.

You might have to make a move soon.

I'll let you know.

Yes, of course.

We're on standby.
We're waiting for your orders.

Yes, sir.

This is bad.

Wait a second. Damn it.

Sir, Se-jun is looking for Moon-seong.
He might make a move soon.

Really? Okay.

I did tell him that I had him,
but this is driving me nuts.

Where do you think that punk is?

Isn't it your job to find out?

You're right.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

Bye.

Just wait until I find you.

Here.

Yes. It's for you.
Why else would I bring two cups?

-Thank you.
-No problem.

You look like you want to kick yourself.

What is it?

Is Moon-seong giving you a hard time?

No, that's not it.

What do you mean, no? You look upset.

It's nothing.

If he can be so sweet to Grandma,

why isn't he more attentive to you?

Should I teach him a lesson?

The baby briers are in bloom…

What's this song called?

Huh? Do you mean "Baby Briers"?

So it's called "Baby Briers."

It's what you sang in the living room
when you first came here.

-"Baby Briers."
-Right.

You used to sing farewell songs to me…

About 20 years?

Yes, I think it's been about 20 years.

Since someone sang to my grandma.

I will never forget you

You sing really well.

That's when I first knew

that Grandma likes to clap to music.

There weren't any occasions to sing
since my parents passed.

And then we all became adults.

Adults who don't get along.

-You should've come earlier.
-Sorry?

If you two came earlier,
we might've turned out different.

Seeing us get along,
Grandma might've lived

to be 100 years old.

It's a pity.

The baby briers are in bloom

THINGS YOU REGRET THE MOST
BEFORE YOU DIE

LET'S MAKE GRANDMA
AS HAPPY AS POSSIBLE!

A festival?

Yes.

For Grandma's happiness,

how about the daughters-in-law
prepare a festival for her?

You mean we should hold an event, right?

Well, yes, I guess an event.

You mean we should prepare
something Grandma would like

to surprise her in a good way, yeah?

Yes. That's what I mean.

Now that I think about it,
Grandma has been unwell,

but I've never done
anything meaningful for her.

That's how I felt as well.

Why don't we go out to a nice restaurant?

Actually, scratch that.

She's not well,

so it'd be difficult for us
to take her out somewhere far.

Do you have anything in mind?

I actually have planned something.

What are you doing all this for?

Hold on. Just a little more, please.

Don't open your eyes, okay?

-Gosh.
-Okay. One, two, three.

What is all this?

We've prepared this for you.
We're calling this

the Geum-sun Spa.

What are you thinking of doing?

Don't worry. I knew you would say that,

so we prepared a small event.

We've never done much for you.

But we worried
going out would be too cumbersome.

That's why we put this together.

Seriously, you must have
a lot of time on your hands.

Okay, Grandma.

We're going all out today.
Please sit here.

Is the water warm enough?

It's nice.

It's very nice.

Now, I'll start the massage.

Just a moment.

Wow, that feels good.

Is it not too strong?

Hey, how come you are so weak?

Have you been starving for days?

Apply more pressure.

-More pressure?
-Yes.

More pressure coming up.

Let's make that medium pressure.

All right. Medium pressure it is.

Gosh, that's nice. That feels good.

-Do you like it, Grandma?
-Yes.

You're good, Jin-suk.

You have many talents, child.

I've made some good money with this
back in China.

Oh, I see.

All I had was time,
so I started drawing on fingernails.

That's how I became good at this.

I see.

So? Do you like it?

It's beautiful.

It represents the four seasons:
spring, summer, fall and winter.

I see.

I drew this wishing that…

you'd stay with us year after year

and season after season.

Jin-suk.

It seems we haven't had the chance
to talk to each other much.

I want to get to know you.

What kind of person you are.

I hope I was given enough time

to learn more about you.

Chairwoman, drink these while you do that.

Grandma, here's what we're doing next.

Gosh. There's more?

What is all this?

Is this a beauty salon?

We're only open for today.

How can you leave me out
when you're having so much fun?

Our only customer today is Grandma.

Isn't it better to have more employees?

Do you want to do this together?

-What is it?
-This is…

Wow.

This will smooth out your wrinkles.

Here.

Now that you mention it,
it does feel like my skin is tightening.

Like I'm going back
to when I was your age.

Right?

Your face will shine after this, Grandma.

You shouldn't let your guard down
because you're young.

If you don't take care of your face now,

age will get to you.

This all comes from experience,
so mark my words, okay?

Understood?

Okay.

-It's okay. You can stop.
-No, it's fine.

I'll do everything today.

Ji-won, come here.

Shall I?

-That was good, right?
-Whose idea was it?

Jin-suk's idea.
I mean, you're so thoughtful.

Goodness, I'm so proud of you.
You're so adorable.

-Was it your idea?
-It was nothing.

I just wanted to do something for Grandma.

We should do this for her
since we're family.

Don't you think?

Jin-suk.

Thank you.

Sure.

This whole time…

I thought I was waiting for you.

But I was wrong.

You were waiting for me.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Moon-seong.

I miss your grandma exceptionally today.

Aren't we seeing her
at next year's event anyway?

Hurry. You must go inside.

I brought you some soup.

Since Grandma adores you,

she will take good care of you.

Isn't that right, Mother?

You know I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings, right?

You didn't even know about
Moon-seong's existence.

You didn't seem to care about
how Father died.

It felt like you only cared
for your family in the South.

I was just being petty.

A place where people die from hunger,
torture and illness.

You abandoned your family
in such a place where you're left to die.

But you built some shiny fortress
for yourself!

Grandma.

Grandma!

Hey, man.

-What's your problem?
-My problem?

What are you doing in public?

I take it by your accent and your outfit

that you're not from here,
so what business have you here?

What's wrong with my outfit?

Watch your mouth.

This is Ri Moon-seong.

Let's meet.

Ri Moon-seong!

-Get off.
-Wow, you punk.

Hey, did I not give you a phone?

Why weren't you using it?

Is it so difficult for you to tell me
where you are and what you're doing?

I decided to meet him.

Meet whom?

Park Se-jun.

What?

It's time I reclaim my place.

Whoa, man.

Did you see this?

-Gotta see it to tell you.
-Show him.

-This one is huge.
-What is it?

PARK SE-YEON OF NAKWON
TO MARRY BAE DONG-JAE OF WOOSANG

What's up?

This is a hotel, a public space.

I'd appreciate if you could give me
a heads-up before you come in.

-Is it true?
-Is what true?

Is that article worth
running to my office?

Of course it is.

How could you not tell me about this?
I'm your cousin.

Cousin?

Who's my cousin?

What I mean is…

You said you won't marry him.
You don't want to.

You're right.

-Then what's up with this article?
-I don't want to marry him.

But I have to.

Why would you say that?

It's because of you.

-What?
-My cousin Ri Moon-seong

turned out to be a fake.

The real one is in touch with Se-jun,

so what does this all mean?

I was already losing
this battle with the shares.

If I want to stop Se-jun
from selling off the hotel,

I need Dong-jae's shares.

That doesn't mean you should marry him.

You need love to date someone,

but you can marry out of necessity.

Come on, Se-yeon.

This is my life and my decision.

No one can judge me for this.

You heard what I had to say.
So please go. I'm busy.

PARK SE-YEON

Yeah, what is it?

Okay.

Guys, have you heard?

He's coming tomorrow.
The man who's marrying Se-yeon.

-Are you talking about Bae Dong-jae?
-Yes.

I think he's coming
to meet the chairwoman.

There's so much gossip in the news,
so I wasn't sure.

But he really must be coming.
It's great news, right?

Indeed.

It must be happening.

-Let me get you a cup of tea.
-Sure.

Thank you.

You asleep?

Yes.

Hey…

Never mind.

Se-yeon, when you're feeling down,
eating good food is the way to go.

It has everything I like.

Look at this.
Look how long the rice cake is.

Wow.

I noticed earlier
that you weren't in a good mood.

Your expression said it all. Here.

Try it.

Come on, try it.

What's this? Wow.

This is so good. It's crispy and soft.

Come on and try it, Se-yeon. Come on.

Here, try it.

It's good.

Se-yeon.

Did something happen?

Jae-heon.

Yes?

Never mind.

All right.

You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

Let's go in.

So,

you two are getting married?

-Yes, ma'am.
-You haven't set the date yet, have you?

No.

You don't have to rush into anything
because of me.

Do what you guys want to do

and let it unfold naturally.

Yes, Grandma.

All right.

I'm well aware
that you aren't exactly fond of me.

-I will try my best and--
-Dong-jae.

I never actually disliked you.

All I wanted was for Se-yeon
to do what she wanted,

not something she didn't want.

You haven't changed at all.

You are smarter than anyone,
but you cannot relate to others.

It would've been wonderful
if someone taught you

how to win a person's heart.

But that's not something you can learn.

If you ran into Mr. Jeong,

that means Se-yeon knows you are here.

Do you still need time

to prepare for what's to come?

Nothing's going according to plan.

But isn't that what life is about?

Life would be too easy
if it went according to plan.

Se-yeon will stop this by any means.

We need to time this right
so that we can talk to Grandma alone.

Let me ask you something.

-What is it that you want?
-What I want?

It feels like the family

isn't exactly welcoming me.

That's why I'm curious.

What do you want from me?

I hate that hotel.

Looking at it reminds me
of all the bad memories.

Grandma always said she wanted
to build a hotel that's like a lighthouse.

And she did.

It's like a lighthouse. A lighthouse
that can be seen from anywhere.

I'm going to sell that hotel.

If you inherit Grandma's fortune,

hand over the shares to me.

I'll pay you handsomely. Very handsomely.

With that much money,
you'll live comfortably for life.

I'll get what I want,

and you'll get money.

Isn't that enough?

Is that enough?

Is it?

When Grandma passes away,

you have no place here.

I see.

Do whatever you want.

I hate the hotel too.

Man, that punk.

My job is done here.

I'll send you my bank account number.

All right? I'll get going.

Can you return home?

For as long as the chairwoman lives,
make yourself scarce.

When Grandma passes away,
you have no place here.

Fuck!

-What the hell?
-Damn it.

Hey, keep it down, will you?
What's with all the noise?

-You.
-What?

Hey!

What?

Mind your own business and just drink.

What's with his accent?
Where are you from?

That punk.

Stop trying to look cool.
You're ruining the mood here.

Go back to your country, you bastard.

You're not welcome here!

Hey, that's enough.

What? Did I say something wrong?

Hey! What are you glaring at me for?

-You bastard.
-Oh, no!

You prick!

-Stop it!
-Damn it!

You fucking bastard!

Gentlemen, many apologies.

Are you kidding me?
Don't you see there are three of us?

I hope this will suffice?

Apologies, sir. My apologies.

-Excuse me, sir.
-My place is a mess.

Sorry for your trouble.
The man's got quite a history.

This isn't much, but I'd appreciate
if you could let this one slide.

Terribly sorry, sir.

People shouldn't run their mouths
just because someone has a weird accent.

-What?
-Forget it.

Hey. Learn to control your temper, man!

This place isn't like your hometown.

You get into real trouble
if you beat people up or kill them.

I never killed anyone.

What do you mean? I heard you did.

But I don't murder people.

Really? Okay.

Hey, get up.

Get up. Have you eaten yet?

Let's have gukbap and soju.
When you're wasted, those are the best.

Let's go. Lose that temper, okay?

Aren't we done talking?

Why would you say that?

You got what you wanted.

Now that you know everything,

you know the sword's in your hands,
so I'm sure you'll wield it.

I want to ask…

Ask away.

I understand why Se-yeon needs my shares.

-Since your cousin is an impostor.
-So?

But why don't you need my shares?

I've thought about it, and I seemed odd.

You're back to square one.

So if Se-yeon gets my shares,
isn't it a risk for you?

So what is it?

What could it be?

Think carefully.

You found him.

The real one.

So you're the one holding the sword.

Be careful, though.

The sharper the sword,

the deeper the cut.

See you around.

SOME WORDS MUST BE SPOKEN FOR
THEM TO KNOW TO SPEAK OR NOT?

That's what relationships are like.

Once it's formed,

it doesn't change easily.

In order to change it…

you'll need courage.

All right.

Let's do it.

Are you really going to?

Stop it.

Are you really going through with it?

It's been confirmed.

Officially and unofficially.

No.

No, no, no.

It makes no sense to go through
with an unwanted marriage. No.

Is that all you can say?

It's a done deal.

Let's talk about something else
rather than just saying no.

I have feelings for you.

I like you, Se-yeon.

I do.

I like you too.

CURTAIN CALL

What kind of relationship…

do you two have?

Do you like him?

I can't even begin to understand women.

You came to the right place for advice.

Oh, man…

Ri Moon-seong, you're back.

Don't you resent your grandmother?

How're you liking the ocean here?

The ocean is just an ocean.

Mr. Ri Moon-seong,
let me cut to the chase.

Please leave. As if you knew nothing.

But I want Grandma to suffer.
