Original subtitles

Ha Myeong, hurry and wake up! Let's eat.

Just five minutes. Five minutes.

Ha Myeong.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Can't Lie Team @ Viki

Mother?

We were on the roof dousing out the fire, but suddenly the roof collapsed!

Really? And?

- Jae Myeong, you are listening to me, right? - Yes, I am listening.

So, I fell five meters down to the ground, but there was nothing wrong with my body!

- Oh, how did that happen? - Father.

- Hyung. - Ha Myeong, you take a guess. How do you think I was fine?

You rascal, what's going on?

Omo, what are you doing?

- Is this not a dream? - What's wrong with him?

You are not completely awake yet? What kind of dream did you have?

Dream?

Are you saying that's the dream?

This isn't a dream?

What do you mean, what's that dream and what's this dream?

Bad...

A really bad dream.

Dad, you caused a big accident and you went into hiding.

Hyung, you also abandoned Mom and I and ran away. And

Mom...

I did that? You crazy, why would I?

You have to be really punished. Why did you do that? Why?

Why did you do it? Why?

Do I have to be scolded for things I did in a dream?

So I,

I resented both Dad and Hyung, and I lived not even thinking about looking for you.

Aigoo, it that so?

Aigoo, how can you have such a horrific dream?

It's alright.

I know, right?

It wouldn't even make sense, right?

All I have to do is heat the japchae for 30 seconds?

Why are you here?

Why are you here?!

Uncle.

Her. She can't be here. That doesn't make any sense. Then this is all a dre...

It means it's a dream.

Why is Uncle suddenly like this?

So, where did you land that you weren't hurt?

Oh, yeah. I was talking about that before I stopped.

I landed on pile of cow poop.

- So dirty.- Really, so dirty.

What do you mean dirty? The poop saved me. It should be worshipped.

Dad. Dad, who is she?

Hyung, do you know her?

Of course. She's our pretty niece.

Aiyoo.

It's obvious.

This is definitely a dream.

I don't want to wake up.

It feels rough.

What does?

This feels rough.

Why is he like this today?

If I can touch this, then it's not a dream. It definitely feels rough.

It feels rough.

October 4th 2013It's not a dream, it feels rough.

It's rough.

What kind of dream is he having?

Hey, wake up!

It feels rough. I feel the roughness.

Pervert!

You shouldn't have hit him so hard.

Hey, eat.

What is this? Oh, no.

What have you done to his fine face?

He did something for which he deserved to be hit.

Truthfully, Uncle's face is not handsome. Since he has it, he's just carrying it around.

Hey!

This girl. Look at how she is talking to her uncle.

This is why you heard Blunt Mania growing up!

I'm a good student, I am pretty.

On top of that, if I also talked nicely, wouldn't the world really be unfair?

Also, it's not talking bluntly but speaking the truth. It's true that Uncle's style sucks.

Hyungnim, tell your niece to have some sense of shame.

In Ha, you should have some sense of shame...

Uncle, will you tell Dad that I have a sense of shame.

Hyungnim, ask the girl who graduated college three years ago, and who is wasting money trying to become a reporter,

and tells her uncle who's been supporting her while driving a taxi that his style sucks and whatnot.

Please relay that I'm curious as to where that shame sprouts from.

You should rap, rap.

Uncle, tell Dad that this is the final interview for one of the hardest broadcast stations to get into,

and if I get in, tell him he should never bring up anything that has to do with being a reporter!

Hyungnim, tell her that studying hard for the past three years to get to the final interview is not something to brag about, and

if she fails the interview again this time, tell her that she should act according to the contract, without a peep out of her!

Whether she fails or passes,

come tomorrow, I won't have to see this sight.

I feel like I can live now. What is this for three years?

If you fail this time, are you failing for the 36th time?

It's only the 35th time. And I told you that I'm really going to pass this time!

It's also the 35th time that you're saying you're going to pass this time, too.

ContractTen people advanced to the final interview. I heard only one or two people among them will fail.

Really, do you think I will be included in those 1-2 people?

Terms of the Contract

I heard that a whopping ten people were chosen for the final interview.

Since they didn't hire last year, I heard they picked a lot this time.

I hope they picked useful ones.

I don't know about a useful one, but there was one that was unbelievable.

Who?

- There was one with Pinocchio Syndrome.- What?!

That makes no sense. When she's can't lie, how can she cover the story?

I know.

Her qualification must be pristine, or is she a parachute (result of nepotism)?

Yup, a parachute. She is Chief Reporter Song Cha Ok's daughter.

Really? Chief Reporter Song has a daughter?

- I thought she was single. - I also found out just now.

Even if so, how can they pick a Pinocchio?

Why? If it's Chief Reporter Song's daughter, they should pick her, whether she's a Pinocchio or a peon.

Even if she just half takes after Chief Reporter Song, isn't she a jackpot?

Hey, Chief Reporter Song is all puffery, too.

She steals her junior reporter's breaking news, a sensitivity parade, and on top that, false and exaggerated reports!

Chief Reporter!

Over here! Here! The Queen Returns. From Washington DC to Seoul

Here. Here. You remember me, right? Civil reporter for police...

Why would a common civil reporter from the suburbs be here?

It's not just anyone but it's your return to Korea. I was going to lay down a red carpet, but

I thought you might say I'm going overboard, so I did it only up to here.

Isn't it cute?

Sure, I almost cursed because it's so cute.

- When is my editor's meeting?- You want to go directly to the editor's meeting?

Why? Can't I go in?A meeting for executives, chief reporters and above, to decide on the order of today's news.

What do you mean, you can't? You're a chief reporter and will be an anchor, so of course you should go in.

How was Washington?

Weren't you uncomfortable because of the food?

I sent you kimchee and other things.

Hey, look.

Who is this, Father?

You told me you broke up with Sae Yoon, last month.

She is a daughter of the owner of the pizza shop in front of our home.

What do you think? Why don't you try meeting her once?

It's fine. I already found another new girlfriend.

Wow, how fast. My hyungnim sure is good.

Hey, what kind of girl is she?

Her name is Hye Sung and her voice is good, she is friendly, and also smart.

Didn't you also say that Sae Yoon had a good voice, and was nice, and smart?

Is that right?

I should go wash now.

Uncle's type of girls must be girls who have good voices, are nice, and are smart. Lower your head.

Uncle, buy some new clothes.

You get dumped because your style stinks. There you go.

If I was going to be dumped because of my style, I wouldn't have dated her.

Hey, In Ha. Come over here.

In your eyes, is Dal Po that bad?

Is he that bad?

He's so beyond stinky that he's rotten!

So, which broadcasting company is your final interview at today?

If I tell you which broadcasting company it is, will you keep it a secret from Dad?

Why should it be a secret?

- Could it be?- Yeah.

That "could it be" is correct.

MSC broadcasting station, the one where Mom is.

Did you call your Mom?

I texted her saying that I made it to the final interview.

Since I might be meeting my mom, what should I wear?

How is it? Stunning? Do I look smart?

You look like an idiot.

Really? I can't look like that.

How about this? Oh!

Hey, how is this?

Does this outfit look a bit stunning and smart?

It makes you look like the biggest idiot in the world.

What's wrong with you?

Are you stupid? Do you think that number is really your mom's number?

Of course. If it wasn't, I would've gotten a text saying that it wasn't.

If it's right, you would have gotten a text saying it's right.

My mom is very busy.

Just because she's busy, she ignores her child for ten years?

It's one of two reasons: either the number changed or she is no longer fond of you.

Hey... Push properly...

Didn't you also suspect this?If there is no response like this...

During that time, she's been in Tokyo and Washington as a special journalist. It's not easy to make a call.

Ah, I didn't know that.

Tokyo and Washington are places where phones don't work. I see.

Don't be sarcastic.

Why are you and Dad trying so hard to make my mom into an evil mother?

It's because I feel bad seeing you having hopeless dreams. If your expectation is big, your disappointment will be just as big.

There's no reason for me to be disappointed.

Because no matter what words you and Dad use to slander my mom, I won't believe them.

- It's not slander but the truth.- No, it's slander.

Dal Po, have you ever seen my mom?

I only believe what I see. Just as I believed in you eight years ago.

Hey! That was that and this is this. How can...

No. This is the same thing.

When the kids slandered you without evidence, I didn't believe it. And I was right.

So don't slander my mom without any evidence.

Why should we apologize to All Zeroes?

You went around spreading false rumors without any evidence!

Do you have evidence that Dal Po stole the test paper?

Evidence? A guy who used to get all zeroes on every subject got a 100% overnight.

What greater evidence is there?

That's not evidence but assumption.

I am your driving safety partner, Hye Sung Navigation.

Please fasten your seatbelt.

Hye Sung, what should I do?

Please drive safely.

I will be going.

Crossword puzzle...

Aigoo, what is this?

Aigoo, Hyungnim Dal Po left his wallet.

Oh my, what should we do? Hurry and go out. He probably hasn't left yet.

What are you doing, not taking it to him quickly?

Yes.

Hyungnim Dal Po! Dal Po...

Get in. I'll give you a ride.

- That's okay.- It's cold. Hurry and get in.

I'm not cold.

Fine! I'm cold but I'm not getting in this taxi!

Why? Because it's more expensive than the bus,

and because you're a heartless and mean uncle who turns on the meter even when your niece gets in!

I won't turn on the meter.

Really?

- For real?- Yeah.

Ahead of you, there is a four way intersection. Please drive safely.

Do you want to buy my dream? I had a killer dream.

What kind of dream is it?

A dream where I met the people I really wanted to see.

Are you sure that's a good dream?

Try buying it. If it's really a good dream, then you will meet your mom and pass the interview today.

- How much is it?- Ten thousand won ($10).

Hey!

A thousand won ($1).

Five-thousand won ($5)! If not, then forget it. I'm also taking a loss selling it.

Okay. Deal.

Here.

- What is this?- Consider it a receipt.

So childish.

We're not even young kids, what is this?

Go slowly, it's shaking.

By the way, who are the people that came out in your dream?

You said they were people you really wanted to see.Who are they?

You don't need to know.

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency - Reporters' Room

As soon as she returns from a special assignment in D.C., she'll be both the chief reporter and 9 o'clock anchor.

That's a quite an exceptional personnel appointment

Just recently, the ratings for our news hit the bottom, didn't it?

Since there is such a huge difference in the rating between your news station and ours,Kim Gong Joo is a handsome reporter.

Isn't it like saying, "Let's try gambling this once."

I know, it seems like a personnel appointment that's either "all or nothing."

All or nothing? What is "all?"

First of all, isn't Chief Reporter Song's background splendid?

In the ground force news, she was the first woman ever to be dispatched.

She went on a special assignment twice, when it's hard to go even once. At face value, she's at the level of a legend.

As a reporter, she's intent on taking care of herself as well.

She's a woman but ran a full course marathon.

She also placed first in a beer drinking contest, I think.

On top of that, she looks good and has an appropriate amount of showmanship as a reporter.

I get the "all" part, but what is the "nothing" part?

That showmanship is the problem. Rather than a reporter, she seems more like an entertainer.

Starting from the field days, her showmanship was famous.

Was it ten years ago, during the kindergarten bus accident?

Remember when she reported with the child's shoe?

- This is the shoe five-year old Jae Min...- Of course I know. My mother even cried watching that.

She shot it after buying those shoes from the mart.

Unbelievable. Really?

Yes, that's not all!

When Gangnam Road was flooded, all the other reporters reported with their knees in the water but...

Every Monsoon season where Gangnam Road gets flooded...

But only Chief Reporter Song reported with water up to her waist.

How?

- She reported while kneeling down to exaggerate the flooding.- How was it? Did it turn out well?

- That's not exaggeration but fraud.- That's right.

The reason we're made fun of and called MSG is all because of Chief Reporter Song.

Why?

Even if that's the case, she's your superior. Aren't you talking too much crap about her?

The reporter is talking about the truth. Who cares about your superior?

Shouldn't the sword blade of criticism be sharper as it goes upward?

Wow!

You, right now, just became a real reporter.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Trying to change your top search word, typing "Handsome Reporter Kim Gong Joo" in the search box...

That's also a kind of fabrication.

What do you mean fabrication?

This much, compared to Chief Reporter Song, is a drop in a bucket!

What can I do for you?

Please do the make-up similar to this.

You must be going to the announcer interview.

Not an announcer, but a reporter.

Announcer or reporter, aren't they similar?

They're different! Totally different!

How are they different?

Well, it has a sense of perfection and intellect.

Do you get it?

A sense of perfection and intellect?

Okay. It's exactly that!

I got it. I feel it. I totally get the feeling.

Jay, do "announcer" makeup for her.

Mom

Fighting!

What is it?

My mom sent me a message.

And?

A message came!

Does this make any sense? My mom sent me a message!

Can you believe it?

Why? Doesn't it make sense?

It's natural to get a text on your cell phone.

It's been 13 years.

Fighting.

This isn't a dream, right?

It must be the first time she's recieved a text message.

I know, right?

I guess she's an outcast.

Congratulations on receiving a text.

Thank you! I'm really, really happy!

Dal Po, Dal Po. Don't be surprised.

Yeah, I am not surprised right now.

Just now, I got a text from Mom! She said, "Fighting!"

Hey, is that really from your mom...

You got a message, congrats.

Thank you. That dream you sold must be real!

How could it take effect so immediately?

I know. I have a good feeling about today.

What do you think? Do you think I'll also pass the interview today?

What?

- Yeah.- Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay! I'll call you later, after I'm done.

Hye Sung, I feel like I sold a phony drug in front of an ICU.

At her age, is she naive or dumb? It's not like she's a kid.

Coming up, there is a child care center. Please drive safely.

That's right, you're right.

She's a child. A child who hasn't grown up yet!

- A child who needs to be protected.- Please drive under 30 km/hr.

I'm serious, man, this guy is weird. He's actually having a conversation with the GPS.

Jesus, he's smiling at me through the rear-view.

I'm positive he's insane.

Should I just get out of this cab right now?

Don't need to bother getting out. I am quite alright.

Yeah, I gotta go.

Bye.

What is the matter? Grandfather, what's the matter?

Aigoo, oh no. What should I do about this?

What is the matter?

I slipped down the hill so I ran into this truck.

The front part is scratched.

I have to call the owner about this, but I don't have a cell phone.

How much do I have to pay to compensate him?

Grandfather, I will take care of this, so just go on.

What should I do about this?

I'll call the owner and explain it well. Just go ahead.

I don't know if I should do that.

- It's okay.- Then, please take good care of it.

There is no contact information.

I'm sorry. I hit your bumper. If you call me, I'll compensate you. I'll be waiting for your call. 010-4186-xxxx.

Yes.

No, I am not driving.

My wallet?

Oh, I'll be right over to pick it up.

It looks fine.

No way!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Can't Lie Team @ Viki

Hey.

Oh. Hey.

It will be hard for you to send both Dal Po and me to college?

If the seaweed farming hadn't gone badly, I could have easily sent both of you.

Does Dal Po want to go to college too?

He didn't say so, but he must want to.

He got first place in school on this mock test, as well.

If we are going to use grades to decide, it's right that Dal Po goes rather than me.

- I'm going to the military.- What?

Military?

Yes. I enlisted.

So I can go right after I graduate.

Dal Po, if it's by chance because of me...

It's not because of you, so don't overreact.

Let's decide on sending In Ha. I really have no interest in college.

Oh, it was here. I didn't know I left my wallet.

This was in your wallet.

Ah, that is...

When In Ha was turning in her resume, she forgot her picture so I had to get it for her. That's just an extra picture.

You know she goes around with only half of her mind.

Really? Is that all?

Of course. What else could it be?

You aren't having some weird misunderstanding, right?

Weird misunderstanding? What?

No, that is...

If there's no misunderstanding, then it's fine.

I will keep this picture.

If your girlfriend sees it, she will have a weird misunderstanding.

You don't want that either, right?

No.

MSC Final Interviews for New Recruits

Mom, finally I'm here.

I can feel you, Mom.

Mom, can you feel me?

She's a disgrace.

Excuse me. I'm sorry, but among the interviewers, was Reporter Song Cha Ok also there?

Yes. She's a total ice queen.

She's really scary so be careful.

Really? That's a relief.

Thank you. Thank you very much!

Ms. Choi In Ha, please come in.

Yes.

In addition to being a disgrace, she is a powerful rival.

Please introduce yourself.

Hello, I am #423, Choi In Ha.

Have a seat.

Yes. She told me to sit down.

She told me to sit down. She is worried that I'm nervous.

I read that you have Pinocchio syndrome. Is that right?

Yes.

Among the registered reporters in the Journalists Association in our country,

you know there is not even one person with the Pinocchio syndrome. Why do you think that is?

Honestly, I don't know the reason.

Why not? Not being able to lie can be a weakness for a reporter.

No. I think it's rather an advantage.

Isn't a reporter a person who delivers the truth?

If it's news made and delivered by a reporter who cannot lie,

I think the viewers will trust it more.

No, I'm confident.

A reporter who doesn't lie but only tells the truth.

Sure sounds like a rookie. Was I that naive in my earlier years?

- Yes.- The two of you are a lot alike.

He says we're alike. He said I'm like my mom.

Let's do a simple test. If you can pass this test without hiccuping,

I will acknowledge you have the right to become a reporter.

Are you confident?

Yes.

Okay, here are business cards from two restaurants.

Please choose one.

We received a tip that both restaurants

allow the customers to smoke illegally.

We're planning to record the call with the owners and release the report.

Should I try it first?

Yes.

Yes?

Yes, this is Go Sung Securities' secretary office.

Can I reserve a room for tomorrow evening at 7?

- For how many people?- Four people.

Everyone smokes. Even if we smoke, it's not a problem, right?

Yes, you can smoke in the room. In fact, there are people who are smoking right now.

Yes, then please reserve a room for me.

How was it? It's simple, right?

You try doing it, Choi In Ha.

Without hiccuping.

If she can't lie, isn't that call like Mission Impossible?

She is determined to make her fail.

So vicious. I don't think she is her real mother.

Ha Ryang Chae Korean Restaurant

Hello?

I have something to ask.

By any chance... is it okay to smoke there?

Why are you asking that?

That...

A report came in, so I wanted to confirm it.

Report? You crazy...

You can't even do this kind of simple investigating.

Do you think you can become a reporter, Choi In Ha?

To make an article, a reporter, at times when it's necessary during gathering the information,

the have to lie numerously.

Above those lies, the truth rises to the top, like oil separating from water.

This is the reason why a Pinocchio cannot become a reporter.

- Excuse me.- Okay.

What are you doing, not leaving?

I wanted to confirm something.

Can I see your cell phone?

Why my cell phone?

Mom

It wasn't you.

It really wasn't you.

Dal Po was right.

Chief Song, should we go first?

No, I'm going now.

- Then...- Mom.

I really...

missed you.

In the end, she is a mother after all.

That's right.

I'm sorry.

I didn't have time to miss you.

You worked hard today.

Sunbae, how about having some tea before the meeting?

Sounds good.

I will prepare the tea.

We will change the slacks to the vintage ones,

and we will make a statement with a warm soft feeling.

You are a person who is worse than a thief.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Can't Lie Team @ Viki

Mom

Exactly why did you do that?

Was it that hard for you to send one text message saying that you weren't my mother?!

Why did you intercept my messages?

Because of you, like an idiot, I...

I was looking forward and anticipating for ten years.

Why did you do that?

Why did you make me so pitiful by intercepting my text messages?

I'm... sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Really.

Uncle Dal Po

In Ha

I'm with my mom right now, so I can't talk.

That idiot...

What did your mother say?

She says I got a lot prettier, to the point that she couldn't recognize me.

And, she says she's sorry for not contacting me all this time.

She said she missed me and gave me a hug.

You're not lying, right?

It's true. Your dream was really effective.

Just like me, I'm sure you'll meet all the people you saw in your dream. Like me.

Should I come pick you up?

No. I'll go by myself.

Miss, why are you crying?

Are you hurt?

My hiccup...

My hiccuping seems like it is not going to stop.

It's okay. She must have wrapped it up by herself. Don't worry.

I will keep this picture.

If your girlfriend saw it, she will have a big misunderstanding.

You don't want that either, right?

That's right, I don't want that.

There is going to be a four-way intersection. When you are driving, please be cautious.

The Prosecutor said, regarding the last operation, Gi Ho Sang...

asked if his sentence is too light because he led nine co-workers to their death.

Please go to the Dohyang-dong intersection.

You're the person who comes out on MSC news, right?

I think I saw you few time as a special correspondent in Washington.

That's right.

Wow! Daebak! Please give me your autograph before you get off.

I don't give those.

Honestly, a friend I know got to the final interview round to be a reporter for MSC.

Could you possibly tell me the results?

Who is it?

Choi In Ha, do you perhaps remember?

I think she's eliminated.

I knew it.

Can I ask why she's eliminated?

That friend has Pinocchio syndrome.

Is that why she was eliminated? Because she can't lie?

You should ask the specifics from that friend.I wish we could just go in silence.

Perhaps, it's not because she's your daughter that she got eliminated?

Who are you?

I'm Choi In Ha's uncle.

Stop the car.

As far as I know, In Ha does not have an uncle. Who are you?

I'm Choi Dal Po.

Reporter Song Cha Ok's father-in-law adopted me.

Just because of that connection, you're doing this to me?

It seems like you want to pretend to be her uncle, but if you're going to do it, do it properly.

Shouldn't an uncle stop his niece from dreaming a hopeless dream?

Is it a hopeless dream for a person who can't lie to become a reporter?

In our country, there is not even one person with Pinocchio syndrome who is a reporter.

I didn't ask for figures. I asked for the reason.

The figures are the reason.

Don't you think there is a reason why there isn't even one person?

What kind of text is that?

Earlier, someone scratched the truck and left their number.

He says he'll pay compensation (for repairs), but I'm going to tell him that it's alright.

What? Why let a good opportunity like that fly?

Let's take this opportunity to repair the truck.

Give it to me, I'll get compensation for you.

You punk!

Never mind. Just the bumper got scratched.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Can't Lie Team @ Viki

This is the car owner for 7954. I'm sorry for contacting you late.

You don't need to worry about the bumper.

Last time, I saw your family picture in your truck.

Aside from your father, you had a mother and a younger brother.

Why didn't you tell me that all this time?

They are both dead.

Is that so?

Is there still no news on your father?

No.

Just in case, I tried searching the whole country while riding the truck.

But I couldn't find him.

I looked for him so hard that, if you were to ask me to draw a map of Korea,

I can probably draw every manhole location in the country.

Hey! No news is good news.

Wherever your father is, he should be well.

You said that you're in charge of the demolition of the waste plant, right?

Since the scale is big, I think they're looking to demolish it, blowing it up with dynamite.

Why? Are you interested?

Yes. If you can, please introduce me.

I will then.

Thank you.

Are you trying to steal our money?

If I lent you the money, you should, of course write, a contract.

That's right, a person should have a conscience.

Conscience? These punks!

Hey! You can't do this to me!

That day of the accident, covering up for the fact that you guys set fire to the control room...

Are you talking about that again?

Stop it.

- It's been ten years already.- Why? Why?

Let's pick at it.Let's speak properly.

It's correct that we set the fire, but the death of the firemen is because of you!

You told the fireman that we were still inside. That's why they went in!

You just say crap every time you drink!

No, it's your filthy mouth that spewed those damned words.

Isn't that why all those firemen went inside?

Hey!

What can we do? It's trouble. We better go to the hospital quickly.

What are you just standing there for?

Oh, oh, okay.

- Where are you going?- Wait just a moment. There's something I need to confirm.

What is it? Are they people you know?

Hey!

It was a lie?

A lie.

Thank you. Please contact me even if there are any problems in the future.

I am Choi Dal Po.

Father, I'm back.

Hey, Dal Po, when was the last time you talked to In Ha?

Earlier, at around 5. Why?

Oh my! Where could she be?

I think that girl ran away.

She packed up all of the books in her room and left with them.

And she's not answering her phone.

What? Just a minute.

Oh, my.

Hey, it's been a long time since Dal Pyeong went out to find her, but he must still not have found her.

What should we do?

In Ha, this girl! At the age to get married, she's running away.

In Ha!

Choi In Ha!

Ha Myeong, do you want to see the fireworks with Mom?

In Ha.

In Ha! In Ha! Choi In Ha!

It can't be.

So long... my dream.

My everything.

This is really too much.

How can nothing go right?

In Ha! Choi In Ha!

You're there, aren't you?

Choi In Ha!

Hurry and open this door! You're not thinking of doing anything weird, right? Choi In Ha!

What do I do? What do I do?

In Ha! In Ha!

Choi In Ha!

In Ha! Choi In Ha!

In Ha.

In Ha!

Why is he like that? Why is he going so overboard?

In Ha!

Did he see me?

Don't come. Don't come!

What a relief.

In Ha, I see you over there.

He saw me!

I know everything.

I know that you failed today's interview and that your mother is not the mother that you thought she was.

If you know, can't you just pretend to not know? I also...

There are times when I want to lie, like the others, and pretend to be okay.

Because it won't work,

I'm being like this.

You don't have to pretend to be okay.I know how upset you are.

In front of me...

Why are you so senseless?

Can't you just leave me be at times like this?

I'm sorry.

I guess my dream was not that good.

This time I graduated from college and moved to Seoul.

It's my first time testing for the broadcasting station, but I failed.

I failed again.

It's the 33rd time.

Mom, you know that there's not much time left before my birthday, right?

I am not hoping for any gift, I just want to see you.

If not, then a call or even just a message.

My son, you're late today. You just finished work?

Mom, I want to meet that girl.

Hey, my son's shoulder is like the Pacific Ocean.

Who do you want to meet?

Is it perhaps that Pinocchio?

I will burn it all.

Are you giving it up, your mom and being a reporter?

Yeah.

Why do you keep on lying when it doesn't work?

Then, what should I do? I promised my dad.

I can't continue to spend my twenties being unemployed.Dal Po, you...

I can't dare to face you.

What about me?

Am I fool? An idiot?

I know that you gave up going to college because of me.

Do you think I was comfortable using the money that you earned?

I also... have something called a "conscience." So,

I'm going to throw this away. Now that I think of it as the end, I feel lighter!

That's a lie.

Right, that's a lie! But what do I do? There's no way!

The figures are the reason.

Don't you think there is a reason why there isn't even one person?

That is prejudice and discrimination.

No, it's common sense.

According to your common sense, people who can't lie can't become reporters?

Let go. I don't need them.

Yes, never.

How can you say "never" so easily?

How can you decide that for someone else's life?

With that reasoning, how many lives have you ruined as a reporter?

You must want to criticize me.

It's completely worthless.

A wolf doesn't just recklessly bark at a tiger.

That's only what an ignorant puppy does.

There is nothing more childish or weak as ignorant barking criticism.

Do you even know what a reporter is,

as you're barking at me right now?

I need them.

- What?- These books... I need them.

That's right. I don't know what a reporter is.

I'm sorry for intruding without knowing.

- I feel that I was too out of place. - If you know, that's fine.

Why do you need the books?

You're going to sell them?

No.

I want to become a reporter. Like you.

What?

So,

I will look into it. And once I find out properly what a reporter is, I will find you again.

Not as an ignorant puppy, but as a wolf.

Then I will howl properly at you.

Let's become reporters together, In Ha.

Huh?

After thirteen years you started to miss her?

- Yes.- If my son wants to meet her, then he should.

What should I do? Should I find her and bring her to you?

No, I will go and find her personally.

It stopped, your hiccups.

Pinocchio~Preview~

- What should we do about Grandpa?- You don't need to worry in advance.

I want the color of his hair to be ash brown.

Father. Is it okay?

So, it's a face worthy of carrying around. Daebak!

Your clothes are daebak, your clothes.

The final interview to pick the newest reporters of YGN.

Is other advertisement of the news needed?

An idea of advertisement that can turn everything around...

I will not be a reporter.

It's better for one of us to get in. You or me.

You or me?

Not me.

If we don't go together it's meaningless.

The 'Pinocchio syndrome' depicted in this drama is not a syndrome in real life.

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Isn't it so awesome?- Who? All Zeroes?

I mean that amazing box.

Choi Dal Po, do you think broadcasting is a joke?

I don't think broadcasting is a joke. With one word, a broadcast is something that can kill a person.

How can I? How dare I think that it's a joke?

Now the people who saw the broadcast can never say that Dal Po stole the test answers. Isn't that really cool?

With a nonsensical speculation, it's a place full of people who thoughtlessly assume and talk.

It's completely filled with people who misuse mics and cameras.

- I've decided on my career.- Oh my.

Hey, if you write with a pen, you can't change it. Write it with a pencil.

I will never change it. I definitely decided.

I am going to become a broadcast reporter. When I become a reporter, I am definitely going to the broadcasting company.

Because just the thought of sharing the same air with those gross people is making me hard to breathe and feels crappy.

Coming back to the broadcasting company

was worse than dying.

Did that answer your question?
