Original subtitles

I'll quit.

I'll quit. I'll give up "Together with Current Affairs."

I won't need to see Han Hyeryeong anymore... Not even as a writer.

What do you mean, Taebeom?

You want to drop out of "Together with Current Affairs?"

I'm sorry, sir.

I don't need apologies. Just tell me the reason.

I can't focus on the program due to personal reasons.

I'm sorry to do this when we're going on air so soon.

What... How can you do this?

You want to quit but don't give me a proper reason?

Stop talking nonsense.

I'm going to pretend I never heard this. Leave now.

I'm sorry, sir.

I need to quit "Together with Current Affairs."

Are you joking?

We have 2 weeks until it goes on air.

I've been nice to you because you're popular.

Who do you think you are? The previews have been broadcast since yesterday.

The entire company's promoting this program.

How can you be so irresponsible?

- I'm sorry. - I don't want to hear it.

You can't quit.

If you want to quit, then risk your life.

Write a letter of resignation.

I'm sorry.

Hwang Taebeom! Are you really going to be like this?

I'm sorry.

When did you write your letter of resignation?

He was just angry. Why did you actually take it out?

It was the only way he'd let me withdraw.

Let's go.

- He's actually withdrawing? - Why's he quitting the program?

- Have you heard anything? - Maybe he got scouted elsewhere.

- Really? - No way.

Here he comes.

Are you really quitting from "Together with Current Affairs?"

- Yes. - Why?

You were dying to do it. Why throw away this chance?

Isn't this what you've worked so hard for?

I heard something unbelievable from the general manager.

Hwang Taebeom, you want to quit "Together with Current Affairs?"

Yes, I'm sorry.

What's the reason?

If you do this 2 weeks before we go on air...

There must be a worthwhile reason.

If it's not a valid excuse, I can't allow it.

Tell me. What's the reason?

It's personal. I can't explain it.

What? What did you say?

I'm sorry. I'll take whatever punishment you give me.

Gosh...

A worthless human like you isn't worth being punished.

You're not a journalist or a broadcaster!

If you were, you couldn't act so irresponsibly.

I didn't know you were so low.

Are you okay? Why do you want to quit?

What's going on?

It's okay.

Hwang Taebeom!

- Hello. - Hi.

These are the papers that you requested.

- Hello. - Hello, I'm Hwang Guksu.

Guksu, you're good at Korean.

Have you had breakfast?

- Yes, I did. - With who?

My great grandmother, grandfather and grandmother, father...

My third and youngest uncles and Jaeun too.

Wow! You have such a big family!

Yes.

I need to see what level you're at first.

Can you answer the problems on this sheet?

Okay.

Sit down.

Here. Write your name first.

Always write your name first when you take an exam.

Okay.

Good.

Don't get nervous. Answer them slowly, okay?

- Yes. - Read the questions carefully.

You have plenty of time. Do it slowly.

If you don't know the answer, just pick number 3...

Do a good job. Slowly now.

I see your residence is Ojakgyo Farm.

- Can he walk to school? - Yes.

How long has it been since he arrived in Korea?

Around 2 months.

He seems to be settled.

His speaking and writing isn't an issue.

But Korean math is a little difficult.

If his level's low, he can enter the 1st grade.

Yes, alright.

I'm all done.

Sir, is this really Guksu's paper?

Yes, he's a great student.

He can enter his proper year, the 2nd grade.

Thank you. Thank you!

I think he really takes after me!

Guksu, it's Hana.

Misuk! Hana!

Hwang Taesik?

Guksu!

Wow, Guksu! You're amazing!

Did you really answer all these by yourself?

Of course he did. Who else would do it?

Hwang Taesik, your mouth looks like it's about to rip.

I'm happy. I'm so happy!

How did he answer problems like 92 minus 68?

I know. It's a mystery.

Hana's been going to school every day...

How is it that Guksu did better in the test?

I'm happy he can enter his proper grade.

It would be nice if he's in the same class as Hana.

Guksu would love that.

It's nice to have someone that you know.

Guksu, you should buy a school bag now.

I'll buy you one as a gift.

I owe you too much already. Don't do that.

It's not for you.

It's for Guksu, so you just stay out of it.

Here's your food.

Wow! It looks good!

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

Hana, eat up.

This is my treat. You can order more.

Okay.

Guksu, eat up.

Hana, you eat up too.

Misuk, can you take Guksu home for me?

I have to meet someone.

Really? Where are you going?

I just have somewhere to go. Let's eat!

- Hello? - Hello?

- Hello? - Yes, sir.

Hello, I'm your driver.

Why are you so late?

I'm sorry. Did you wait long?

Give me your keys. You're really drunk.

How did you make time?

You're so preoccupied when you start new projects.

I wanted to come see Jaeun.

I had some free time today.

I was getting a little sour because you didn't come.

I forgave you because you have a new program.

- Aren't you the host? - We have high expectations.

- When does it start? - Oh, dear.

You're so excited, grandma...

I'm not going to host that program.

What?

Why not? It starts so soon.

Department Head Gong... He's the co-host.

He was supposed to be the sole host before they added me.

They decided to just have one host again.

How can they do that days before you go on air?

They're making fools of the viewers.

You're right. What a hopeless station.

Who could be more handsome and well spoken than you?

I know, grandma. I should've been the sole host.

Anyway, that's upsetting.

I saw previews today saying you'd be hosting it.

I know. I feel terrible.

When did they decide?

Today.

You'll get another chance.

You're a star ever since you rescued that child.

I'll get another chance. Don't worry.

Grandma, let's eat before the food gets cold.

Yes, grandma. Dad, mom...

It's okay. We're talking about Taebeom here.

Yes, you'll get another chance.

I can't hide my feelings...

But Taebeom's here tonight. Let's enjoy dinner.

- Yes. - Thank you for the meal.

Taepil, you're looking good today.

This?

Taehui bought it for me.

Taehui?

Yes, a late gift for getting employed.

Taehui's so generous.

- What a great brother you are. - Of course he is.

He's a great brother and a great man too.

I don't know why he doesn't meet any girls.

Misuk, if you know any nice girls, introduce him.

You really don't have a girlfriend?

I thought you did for sure.

He really doesn't. So If you know anyone, introduce him.

Really? Then should I find someone for you?

What the...

Why doesn't he refuse?

Okay, I'll look into it right away.

What the...

He's really not refusing.

Hana, Guksu, how is the duck? Is it okay?

It's okay. Tell the truth. Is it not very good?

Don't ask like that.

Guksu, Hana. Do you want to eat it again next time?

No!

The air's so fresh tonight. It really wakes you up.

You're drinking fast. Are you upset?

What happened to "Together with Current Affairs?"

Why did they change after the previews went out?

Taesik's late. I wanted to see him.

How are things between dad and Taesik?

The same. It hasn't gotten any worse.

Something's up, right?

Dad and mom look happy.

Stop avoiding our questions. Something's wrong with you.

Let's just drink, okay?

Why didn't you bring Suyeong?

Is there something going on with you two?

Hyeryeong's at IBC.

What do you mean? Is she back in Korea?

Yes. She's divorced too.

She's at IBC as the writer of "Together with Current Affairs."

- Is that why you quit? - Yes.

This is ridiculous.

Do you need to quit? It's just work.

Suyeong knows.

I don't believe this.

Are you okay?

Of course I'm not okay. It hurts a lot.

Is this how Lee Donggook felt when injured before the World Cup?

It's like rushing ahead to set the best record of my life...

Then breaking my ankles just before the finish.

Why did Hyeryeong come to IBC?

I can't help but despise her.

I should do the right thing as I always have, right?

I've never had the right to do as I wish.

Before marriage, I was dad's son.

Now I'm Suyeong's husband.

As you say, Suyeong is a wonderful woman.

She doesn't deserve to be treated this way.

So don't worry.

Throwing away this opportunity is nothing to me.

I threw my life away over a woman 3 years ago.

To do the right thing...

Hwang Taebeom! Are you really going to be like this?

Did you have a drink?

Weren't you asleep yet?

I drank with Taehui and Taepil.

My parents were upset you didn't come.

My grandma missed you a lot.

Really? Is everything okay at your parents' place?

Everything's fine.

I need to sleep. Goodnight.

- Be careful! - I'm okay.

I'm not drunk.

Go inside.

Thank you...

I know how hard it was to come to that decision.

I know how hard it was to give up on something you've wanted so much.

You may not believe this... But I hurt as much as you do.

I didn't know I would end up breaking your wings with my own hands.

I won't say that I'm sorry.

I'll just be grateful.

Don't go.

Stay here.

Please just stay till I fall asleep.

Can I ask you something?

Do you...

Love me?

Forget it. Just sleep.

Really? Then should I find someone for you?

Why didn't he refuse?

Isn't saying nothing the same as agreeing?

That's saying that he wants to get introduced to a girl!

He hasn't even texted me all day.

10 people, 10!

To here. 10.

10 people! Go!

- Is that it for today? - I think so.

What is this?

Where are the vans?

I see. No more vans?

Alright then.

That's it for today.

What is this?

Sit down. Have something before you go.

Okay...

I hope it tastes alright. I haven't made soup before.

- It's good. - That's a relief. Eat up.

- You're off duty tonight, right? - Yes.

Do you want to watch a movie tonight?

A movie?

I haven't been for ages. Is there anything you want to watch?

I don't know...

It's okay if you don't want to.

I'll think about it.

Okay.

Eat up.

Have some eggs too.

Did you sleep well?

I wanted to move the sawdust for you before I go.

I'm not going to lay out new sawdust today.

You're not?

- Should I carry the feed then? - It's alright.

You're scared of ducks. You can't even go in the pen.

I'll do it alone.

Are you angry by any chance?

No! Why would I be?

I'm just checking. I'll carry the feed for you.

Let's go.

Want to have lunch together? I'll go to your office.

That sounds good...

Oh, wait. I can't. I have someone to meet...

I mean, I have work. I'm free for dinner though.

Buy dinner for me.

Are you having lunch with Kim Jeha?

Yes.

It's for work. I do have to work, you know.

You know I already received the contract amount.

Buy dinner for me.

Where are you meeting him?

Why can't you tell me where you're meeting?

At the sauna.

He likes having meetings at different locations.

Alright.

Which sauna then?

I won't go there. I'm just curious.

If you're not coming, why do you want to know?

I'm still curious.

Tell me. Where?

Don't worry, I won't go there! I have my pride too.

Why are we having a meeting in the sauna?

I already get hot whenever we have meetings.

Focus!

Im Jaeseong hid an expensive watch on a cargo.

He was charged for that.

Let's focus on Im Jaeseong not Park Donggeon.

- Understand? - Yes.

- Let's go over there. - Okay.

- What do you want to drink? - Water's fine.

- Water and persimmon vinegar. - Yes.

Producer Kim, do you drink persimmon vinegar?

Yes, sometimes.

Thank you.

Wow. How can you drink it? Isn't it sour?

Can I have a glass of persimmon vinegar?

Taehui...

Another glass, please.

One more for me too.

Oh, come on!

I'll be outside.

Me too.

Okay...

I need to make a call. It's urgent.

Wait here.

It's so hot. Let's go out.

Oh, that's right.

Now you two need to compete to see who can last longer in here.

That's right...

Producer Kim, hang in there.

Mister, you must win. Okay?

It's so hot!

Come and collect mother's things.

I wasn't going to bring it up...

I was waiting for you to ask about it first.

But I end up bringing it up again.

Take mother's things.

I don't want to keep them with me any longer.

- Take them. - Throw them out.

What?

Throw them out.

Say that again.

Throw them out!

Producer Kim!

Mister!

Stop it!

Mister!

Nam Yeoul, what on earth are you thinking about?

Taepil was just pretending in front of your friends.

You know how lame it is to fall for him over something like this!

Nam Yeoul, be cool.

Cool!

- Hello. - Hi.

I think this will suit you.

Be cool, be cool.

- Boss. - Yes, Hwang Taepil?

Could you please move? I need to use the register.

Alright.

That's $215.

Is that an installment purchase?

- I'll do it. - Alright.

Here you are.

Thank you. Come again.

Do it properly. It's crooked.

Make it straight like this.

Alright.

Answer me! Why don't you answer me?

Move.

I'm so angry. I don't want to talk to you right now.

Why are you mad? I should be mad.

You keep meeting Kim Jeha.

That's why I keep acting like a fool.

- Don't meet Kim Jeha. - How is that possible?

This is for work. How can I quit work?

Give him back your copyright.

What?

Return it and don't do this work.

- Do you mean it? - Yes.

That's how much I hate you meeting Kim Jeha.

How much is the copyright?

I'm beyond disappointed. You've made me despair.

Work is important to me.

Just as your job's important, so is mine.

I didn't know you thought so little of my work.

- That's not why. - Stop it.

I think I will really hate you if you keep this up.

Move! I said I might hate you!

My biological mother...

She re-married Kim Jeha's father.

The president of the film company is Kim Jeha's father.

Do you understand?

Let's finish our meeting.

- Sit down. - Yes.

A good drama starts with the story and theme.

A tight plot which is like a rollercoaster ride...

Will definitely have its strengths.

Excuse me, Producer Kim.

Is the president I met last time your father?

Yes, he's my father.

So your mother is Lieutenant Hwang's biological mother?

That's right. Did he tell you?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

You know I like Lieutenant Hwang.

So?

Should I have told you?

Since Lieutenant Hwang told you...

Did he tell you that his mother passed away as well?

Did he also tell you that he told me to throw away her things?

She's the one who gave birth to me.

Meet her.

Shut your mouth.

She gave birth to you.

Baek Jaeun!

Take mother's things.

I don't want to keep them with me any longer.

Take mother's things.

Baek Jaeun?

Is something wrong?

Can I turn around?

Mister...

Yes?

They say you get secrets when no one listens to the truth.

I don't want to keep any secrets from you.

I want to tell you everything.

I can do that, right?

Okay.

I'll tell you everything.

Okay, tell me everything.

I like you.

I'm scared and nervous, but I can't help it.

I really like you a lot.

Let me ask you once more.

Is something...

Okay then.

Hwang Taebeom quit?

Yes, for personal reasons.

It's disappointing, but we have to be strong.

Let's work hard.

Yes.

Team Leader Cha, take Taebeom's story and finish it.

- Alright. - Hyeryeong, revise the slots.

The slot that Taebeom had...

Hyeryeong.

Yes?

I'm sorry.

Yes, mom.

What? Here? Why?

- Do you know Han Hyeryeong? - On the 7th floor.

I see.

Taebeom?

It is you!

Taebeom, how long has it been?

- Have you been well? - Yes.

I feel so bad whenever I think of you.

I wanted to meet you.

Fancy meeting you here.

Are you meeting Hyeryeong again?

Is that why she's here? Is that it?

No, it's not like that.

I'm so happy.

I can relax and sleep in peace now.

- But... - Mom!

Come on. Let's go!

What is it? I'm happy to see Taebeom.

Mom!

I'm sorry, Taebeom. You go ahead.

Please go.

No, Taebeom. Listen to me.

Mom!

I have something to say.

Mom...

Mom! Mom!

Mom, what are you doing here?

What you just saw...

Wait. Taebeom resigned from "Together with Current Affairs."

He settled things yesterday.

Move out of the way.

Mom...

Cha Suyeong, I told you to move out of the way.

I don't even want to see you right now.

- Mom! - I said move!

Mom...

Honey! What's the matter?

Honey!

Honey, what are you doing? What's going on?

What happened outside?

Pack the things in the study. I'll do this room.

Yeogyeong, talk to me.

I'm going to make Suyeong get divorced.

I can't let her stay around those hopeless people.

I'm not going to let her get hurt.

I don't want her life to become even more hopeless.

Mom and I are going to your in-laws right now.

Mom packed Taebeom's things to make you get divorced.

What happened at the office?

This is a disaster!

Okay, let's eat.

Changsik, eat.

- Mr. Cha. - What brings you here?

- Mrs. Cha. - These are Taebeom's things.

I just packed his clothes and small things for now.

I'll send the rest over to you by post.

- What? - Wait a minute.

These are Taebeom's things?

That's right. I'm going to get them divorced.

I'm not going to let Suyeong and Taebeom live together!

Honey, sit down and talk. Calm down.

I'm not sitting down!

I don't want to stay another second in this house.

You're being a little harsh.

You leave his things here without any explanations.

This is unheard of.

I know that. I'm going to put an end to this.

Compared to the shame I faced today...

This isn't going to make me feel any better.

He brings his ex-girlfriend into the office...

Now he meets her mom too.

What are you talking about? I can't understand.

Han Hyeryeong's been working with him for 2 weeks.

He's been meeting her and Suyeong knows.

Does that seem normal to you?

If he is logical and has proper morals...

How could he do such a thing?

Is it the Han Hyeryeong that I think it is?

I won't keep going on. They must get divorced.

I won't continue to let Suyeong get hurt.

Taebeom, is this true?

Are you working with Hyeryeong right now?

Tell us the truth so we can know.

Tell them that it's true!

Tell us. Why can't you speak?

Is Hyeryeong really working at your station?

Yes.

- How dare you? - Father!

It's not his fault.

He has the right to meet her.

- What are you talking about? - Suyeong!

What do you mean by that?

I'm sorry. We married under a contract.
