How pretty.

How old are you?

5.

5?

We’re starting, director’s looking for you.

Okay.

Bye, kiddo!

Who’d you say hi to?

This really pretty lady.

Yeah?

Chadol, she’s going in soon, come.

Oh, okay!

- Chorong, you can do this, right? - Yeah, of course!

Look at you! Okay, let’s go.

Okay! Good.

One more from another angle.

Try cute, sexy, and bright faces in your selfie.

Okay.

Touch up her hair.

When I say go, you start drinking the milk.

Then you lick your lips like this, okay?

Okay.

Ready, go!

Great, keep going. Then lips.

Great, good job. Good work.

Now, let’s try laughing. Ha Ha Ha!

Wasn’t it hard?

No, it was so much fun! I’d do it again!

Even if the milk makes your belly full?

It’s ticklish, stop!

You did a great job today, how about some ice cream?

Dad, I wish I had a pretty mom too.

Chorong, I’ll be a good father to you.

I’ll be hundred times better than any mother, okay?

Okay.

Chorong, you want me to lift you?

Okay!

Let’s go!

I marked it right here, wedding anniversary.

He has no excuse now.

Honey, it’s me.

Where are you?

At the mall? Should I come?

No need, I’m on my way home.

Okay.

He really doesn’t know how to give gifts…

Well, that is what makes him attractive though.

I wonder what he got me this time.

Goodness… My goodness…

How are you guys together? Were you at the mall with her.

Yeah, it’s been cold lately.

I needed something for my neck and look what he got me.

How’s it? He spent the big bucks for me.

I see.

Hey, this was a free gift with the scarf, you keep it.

A free gift?

It’s a kitchen cloth, a brand-name one.

Cloth?

Don’t worry about our dinner. We had sushi.

My goodness, I forgot to bring you some.

She doesn’t eat sushi, Mother.

My goodness… My goodness.

This is so warm, it’s so soft too.

Feel the fur, it’s so soft, feel it.

No wonder it was so expensive, you sure it wasn’t too much?

- As long as you like it, don’t worry. - I know.

What are you doing?

Do you even consider me as your wife?

This is your gift for our anniversary?

A free gift from your mother’s gift.

Don’t make a big deal out of it.

You could’ve said something then.

I marked it on the calendar.

Even if it wasn’t our anniversary, you couldn’t get me anything?

You were at the mall anyway.

Why waste money on two of the same scarves?

What?

Besides, mother’s not going to be around for long.

After she’s gone, it’s all yours.

If you want to borrow it, I’m sure she’ll lend it to you, right?

Please take care of my husband.

Yes, Ma’am. I’ll do my best. Thank you.

As an assistant, you’ll have to look after his personal business too.

So make sure you report to me on his schedule.

Yes, Ma’am.

You guys coming together?

We met at the door… Who’s this?

Oh, your new assistant. Perfect, Ms. Hong, say hello.

Hello, nice to meet you, I’m Soomi Hong.

You fired her? What right do you have?

What? Right?

Why are you so interested in keeping her?

I can’t help but become suspicious.

What’s gotten to you? Why are you doing this?

It’s true.

Having a new assistant’s not a big deal.

As your wife, I can exercise that much power.

This is your last warning. Don’t ever interfere again.

Mom, what are you doing?

Sh…

Dinner’s ready. Where are you going?

I’m going for some air.

Mom, why. What happened?

He’s upset because your sister fired his assistant.

Again?

What’s with her?

That’s what I’m saying.

Why’s she so clingy.

Clingy? You know that’s not like her.

I can understand if he doesn’t want to come home.

He’s got no kids nor a loving wife.

No one here’s warming up to him.

Tell her to behave herself or she’ll blow my chances.

We have a promotion coming up soon.

I’ve been in my position for 4 years.

Everyone’s talking behind my back.

You should’ve worked it out with Sooryeon then.

If you had given her a kid. I told you she was just naive.

Couldn’t get over one single incident.

Forget it. That ship’s already sailed.

This is all because of that kid… that cursed adoption.

They should’ve kept the baby, now it’s firing back.

Wait… what if he finds a mistress?

- I’m leaving, bye. - Okay, bye.

Shinae Jung!

Eh? Bbangguk!

Hey. I was worried about you. Are you hurt?

Nah, I’m fine. It lasted for a few hours.

Good. I meant to take you to the hospital.

It wasn’t that bad. How about you? You okay?

You fell pretty badly, off that bike.

I’m fine. See? I’m out again.

Hey… are you unemployed?

What?

You seem to have a lot of free time.

What about you?

I’m on my way back home from work.

Good. Let’s go grab dinner.

Dinner?

Remember, I owe you for the meat.

I did bring my wallet this time.

Delicious. Why aren't you eating? It’s getting cold.

I offered to buy good food, why here?

What’s wrong with pork belly? Pork belly with soju’s perfect.

What DO you do really? For work, you know?

Just some stuff here and there.

Here and there?

- Like a convenience store? - Huh?

You shouldn’t be out, don’t leave to the workers.

How about you? What do you do?

Me? I had a hair salon till recently.

I’m a masseuse.

I heard that’s hard work.

It’s do-able.

Better than owning a shop and managing it.

I get a nice fat tip at times.

You should stay home.

What does your husband do?

My husband?

He’s long been gone. Been about 30 years.

Is that so?

That’s why I’ve got to work hard.

I’ve got to take care of my kids, I’ve got 3.

You raised them all by yourself?

Of course.

Who else will raise them?

How about you, how many have you got?

I don’t have any.

You don’t? Why? Are you single?

Is he divorced… Or widowed?

I had forgotten all about the old times.

But it’s nice to see you like this.

We used to get in trouble all the time, remember?

We’d stay out at the playground, you’d boss me around.

Yeah.

Those were the days.

I bossed everyone around the neighborhood,good times.

Hey, it’s burning. Eat it, eat it.

Eat more, let me make you one.

No, I’m okay.

Here, say ah.

I’ll do it, this is too big.

It’s not big. You can stuff it in.

How’s it? Good?

Yeah.

I had a good time.

I’m glad you did. Here.

What’s this? It’s heavy.

I Togo-ed some meat.

You didn’t have to, I’m so full.

Go eat it with your kids.

Okay, thank you. I appreciate it.

Not a problem.

Is he still not in?

No.

Why’d you fire her then?

Don’t add to it, Mother. I had my reasons.

If you want to keep an eye on him, do it secretly.

Why are you making it so obvious, upsetting him?

Home now? Isn’t it cold?

It’s okay.

Have you eaten? I’ll make dinner.

What’s that smell?

I met a friend and ate k-bbq. Does it smell?

It’s your clothes, go change.

- I’m going up. - Okay, bye.

What kind of friend could he meet at a place like that?

I know.

Say ah.

I’ll do it, that’s too big.

It’s not big. Stuff it in there.

How’s it? Good?

Yeah.

We’ve got good genes.

Look, she stands out.

Should we make her a celebrity?

Sis, Chorong’s still just a kid. She can’t do that.

I’ll be a famous director one day and cast you.

Over your ugly aunt, so just be healthy Chorong.

Chorong, look! She’s so mean! Help!

Have some.

Mom…

…This looks like it’ll feed over 10 people.

Why’d you spend so much money?

I didn’t.

Then where’d you get it?

I found a classmate from elementary.

He bought me dinner and packed some for you guys.

Really?

Mom, you should see him often.

Is it good, Chorong?

These gold and money, I’ll never get sick of staring at.

Even a pretty girl, you’ll get sick of her after a while.

That’s right.

What? Who is it? Did you lock it?

Yeah.

Hurry, hide it.

Ever heard of keys? What were you doing?

Wh, what are you doing?

Don’t you know how to knock?

Let me see. Show me what’s in there!

Why’s it locked? Why’d you lock it?

What’s wrong with you!

Open it, open, open!

What’s wrong with you?

Are you drunk?

How can you do this?

If you guys think of me as your wife and daughter-in-law.

Then you wouldn’t do this to me!

Why’d you even marry me, you should’ve lived with her.

If you’re drunk, go to your bed and sleep.

I’ll open that box and see what’s in it.

Do whatever you want, I don’t care.

You don’t think I can?

What’s gotten to her lately?

I forgot about our anniversary.

Why’s she making such a big deal out of it. Gee…

- Mother, go sleep… - Okay.

What are you doing?

Wh, what are you going to do with that?

Open it. Open! OPEN!

Hey… there’s nothing in there!

I know what’s in here. I know there’s money in here!

Open, open it!

Come out! Out.

Come, right now.

How could you do this to me? How…

How could you…

Fine, fine. I’ll take you to the mall tomorrow.

Forget it. I’m not going to live like this.

Hey…

It’s easy to leave but I won’t let you come back.

So think hard.

Where would you go?

It’s still late in the night, you have no where to go.

Yeah, as you said, I’ve got nowhere to go.

That’s why I stayed here, so be happy without me.

Mom. what’s going on? What’s that luggage?

Sooryun, I’m leaving…

…I’m sorry, Sooryeon.

Mom, where would you go?

I’m going to go to Jangmi in America.

Come if you want, okay?

Wait till tomorrow, it’s late. Dad, come on.

Why’s it so loud?

Jangmi.

- Jangmi. - Jangmi…

What? Back for good? To be a celebrity?

Yeah.

And how do you suppose you’ll do that?

I shot a commercial. It’ll air on TV soon.

What?

- Is this true, Jangmi? - Yes, Mom.

Go cancel that. You’re not doing that.

Take some time and rest, but you’re going back.

No, Dad. I want to do this.

It’s fun and it’s perfect for me.

Listen to your father.

We spent a fortune on you and that’s what you want to do?

I’m not going back alone.

You know how lonely and hard it is?

Jangmi, I knew that it’ll be tough.

But you can start fresh there.

If you become a celebrity…

…your past will get found out.

So I have to let my past control my future?

That’s not how I want to live. The past is in the past.

Okay, Jangmi. You do what you want to do .

Sooryeon, you too.

Just don’t live like me.

What the heck are you saying?

You see?

He’s always talking down to me.

You do what you want and don’t live like me.

Aren’t you leaving? Don’t waste time with your nonsense.

I’ll go whenever I want to go, don’t yell at me.

What are you guys doing.

I finally found something and I have a contract already.

No means no.

Fine. If you’re going to be against it, I’m leaving too.

I lived alone before.

Okay, Jangmi. We’ll go live together.

W, what?

Jangmi, listen to your father.

The internet makes it impossible to hide anything.

Yeah, I didn’t want to say anything there.

But I’m worried too.

Mom… Sis…

I’m not just being stubborn. I moved on.

Even if it resurfaces, that’s the price I have to pay.

I can’t hide from it forever.

Sooryun, she’s really matured a bit, huh?

Yeah.

I want to live with you guys.

It was so hard in America.

Okay, we’ll live together.

- Mom, let’s let her sleep. - Okay.

Hm?

Why don’t we all sleep here?

You want to?

Okay, fine.

Come here my daughters.

My precious kids…

Let’s sleep…

I’m really feeling it…

… the ceiling’s moving.

I’m never drinking again.

Dad, I want it braided, side ways.

You said to tie it.

Chorong, Daddy’s really busy today.

I’ve got an interview today, can’t you go like this?

I can’t. No.

Then let’s ask Grandma.

No, I want you to do it.

Okay… I’ll do it for my princess.

Dad, can’t I skip school today?

No way. Today’s talent show.

It’s a talent show with Mom. But I don’t have one.

But you have a pretty auntie.

She practiced a lot, remember?

Yeah.

Both of you will win the first place. No competition.

It starts at 10, you can’t be late!

Okay…

Are you still sleeping?

You’re in a rush, get going. You’ll be late.

I’ll wake her up.

Okay, let’s go Chorong. Mom, I’m leaving.

Hey, good luck today. Don’t be nervous.

Okay. Let’s go.

Mom, I’m leaving too.

Oh, okay.

I hope the interview goes well.

Sara Park.

What.

I’ve got to go, be there by 10. Okay?

I got it.

- Hello. - Hi, Chorong.

Chorong, your aunt will be here soon. Bye

Okay, bye.

Jangmi, you’re beautiful. Like a beautiful rose.

Really, Grandma?

Of course. Am I right, Manjong?

She’s always been pretty.

Hey, it’s me. Yes, that is my Jangmi.

Really? Thanks, okay. I’ll buy dinner, okay.

Everyone’s excited to see Jangmi.

Don’t get ahead of yourself, who you buying dinner for?

If you’re happy, just say so. Your face looks funny.

What?

Yes, Sir. A drama? Okay, I’ll see you soon.

Who was it?

The CEO. He wants to talk about joining a drama.

What?

Well, let me see him first.

There are so many frauds these days.

Sir, the industry’s changed.

Celebrities are no clowns, it’s a real career.

I’ve got at least 10 other big stars under me.

Jangmi’s co-star Cha Bom, Terry Kim, Soobin Kim.

These are all under my management. And I chose her.

Don’t worry.

But you don’t let anybody star in a drama.

It can really backfire with people hating it.

I’ve got the best teacher in the nation. Don’t worry.

Dad, don’t worry. I want to do this.

Chadol Park…

Numbers 35-40, come in.

Yes, teacher. Chorong’s crying? Why?

What? She never showed?

Yeah and no one’s picking up.

Oh, okay. I’m headed right now.

Chorong’s school called. What happened?

Yes, this is her grandma, you called?

WHAT? She never showed?

Chorong!

Chorong!

I hate Auntie! I hate you,Daddy.

I’m so sorry Chorong, Daddy’s sorry.

I couldn’t perform.

Chorong, it’s not too late, there’s still time.

You want to do it with me?

One, two, three.

How pretty.

- This is a fake medal. - No, it’s not.

You’re supposed to bring your mom. It’s charity.

- I have a mom too. - Don’t lie.

I’m not lying. I really have a mother!

- Where is she? - She’s in America.

My mom’s in America…

Let’s go.

Chorong, why’re you crying?

Go bring Mommy from America.

What do you mean?

Auntie told me Mom’s in America. Bring her…

Chorong…

My… goodness!

Are you crazy? Are you nuts? Still sleeping?

Chorong?

Chorong’s been crying and Chadol missed his interview.

Really? Chadol couldn’t go?

What do I do?

Chorong?

Sleeping.

Chadol…I’m sorry. but the alarm never went off.

Why’d you tell Chorong about her mother in America?

What are you talking about? You said that?

Yeah…

…She IS in America.

Are you nuts? She doesn’t. She’s only got her father!

Mom, who are we kidding? She obviously has a mother.

We can consider her dead, but to her, she’s still her mother.

We can’t lie to her.

Are you crazy…

Chadol, be rational.

Jangmi’s eventually going to look for her.

Chorong will be in shock then…it’s inevitable.

Shut your mouth! What if she hears you!

You brat…

If you’d like, I want to have the baby.

I’ll do whatever you want to do.

Jangmi, would you marry me?

Oppa, I think the baby’s saying hi.

Jangmi Baek.

Long time.

What brings you here? Here for me?

Yeah, I did.

What for exactly.

You don’t have any questions for me?

None.

Really?

Yeah.

None.

Chorong, our baby, you’re not curious about her?

How tall she is and what she looks like.

What she likes and what she’s been up to.

You’re not curious?

Do I have to be?

I forgot all about it 3 years ago when I left Korea.

Both you and that child.

I don’t want to be reminded of that, so don’t look for me.

I don’t want to talk about it and I don’t want to see you.

I thought you made a mistake at the time…

…that the situation made you leave…

But now I know that you chose to abandon us.

I see it now, okay.

Thank you.I was worried that you’d show up…

… wanting to see her. But obviously I was wrong.

I can finally be at peace…

… Let’s NEVER see each other.

When’d you wake up?

A while ago.

Weren’t you scared alone?

No, I was fine. Where were you?

Just to see a friend.

Chorong.

Hm?

I’ve got something to say to you.

What is it?

Your mom… she’s not in America.

Then where is she?

Um…

…She…

…She’s in heaven.

Heaven?

She… died…?

…Is that why she’s there?

Mom… Mom…

Chorong…

It’s okay…Chorong… don’t cry.

Chorong, Chadol. Breakfast is ready!

It’s my favorite soup.

Eh? That girl.

Mom. Isn’t that Jangmi?

Ruining my appetite.

Why’s she on TV?

Probably ‘cause she’s a model.

They couldn’t find anyone else?

She’s not pleasant to the eye.

At least for now, let’s pretend we didn’t see that.

Chorong, food’s ready.

It’s tofu soup, tofu soup.

Chorong.

- Chorong, did you sleep well? - I did.

Do you want to eat with me?

I made you some eggs and anchovy.

It looks good.

How pretty.

Let’s eat. Hurry, eat.

Chadol, how’d the interview yesterday?

- Well… - It didn’t go well.

I’m going to look for something I can do with Chorong.

It’ll be hard to look after her if I work full-time.

Sara and I are both available.

You’ve got work and you too, once you start, it’ll be hard.

If you guys start work, I’ll quit and look after her.

You’re going to do that shoe business?

Yeah…It’ll be hard to kickstart right now.

But I’ll start small…

A stable job with salary is the best. Start ups are tough.

If he does well, it’s better. It’s quite rewarding.

Mom, you’d let me?

You don’t need my permission, do what you want.

How much is this?

530.

What? That’s expensive!

- Good work today. - I’ll see you later.

Hey, Soongeum.

I’m on my way home. Okay, see you there.

What? Drama too?

Yeah.

We’re just as shocked.

I knew she was pretty but who knew she’d stumble upon this?

I’m so jealous. You’ve got a husband with good income.

Your mother’s assets will all be yours.

Building and the real estate…

His salary can only pay for so much.

My mother had a lot of savings from when she was younger.

Now your daughter’s adding to it. Good for you.

- I’m so jealous, you’re really blessed. - So jealous.

This doesn’t change anything.

Did you hear? Shinae’s son had a kid and the mother took off.

Geumja, you know her, right? You two were close.

Not really I haven’t seen her.

Kids these days.

I heard the mother was a student too.

I don’t think that’s right…

Are you that curious?

You’re that curious to know?

It’s not like that.

If you’d like to know, I should tell you. The mom is…

His classmate from school.

I see, make sense. Should’ve let them get married.

Why’s Chadol raising it alone? Did she really take off?

She died in an accident.

- My goodness. - How awful.

That’s what happened.

Yes, Gangtae.

Yes, Sooryeon.

Thanks for playing along.

I didn’t do it for you.

I don’t want people talking about them.

Chadol told Chorong that her mother died.

Is that her name, Chorong?

She must be big.

Shinae, I’m sorry about how everything turned out.

I can’t sleep at night too. I hope you can understand.

Why should I?

You deserve every bit of it.

How can this be… we were once friends.

She’s already 5…

… and she thinks her mother died.

Drop me off there.

You’re not going home?

I want some air.

Call me if anything, okay?

Okay.

Gangtae, can we meet?

My mom was crying a lot. They used to be friends.

She’s sorry about the baby too.

Chadol raised Chorong while going to school.

Then he graduated and raised her beautifully.

What do you want me to say? So what if she’s sad?

I’m sorry, Gangtae.

What difference does that make now?

I’ve been meaning to apologize to you.

I get it, we won’t blame you.

I’m leaving, bye.

What are you doing?

I’ve been meaning to apologize…

… but I also wanted to see you.

Just for a little bit…

Shinae Jung!

Hey, Bbangguk!

Did you have a lot to drink? You a drunk?

Just some stuff I’m going through.

You shouldn’t be out here alone.

What if you get hit on by a stranger?

I’m too old for that. My face will keep them away.

Come have a drink. There’s only one…

Hey, why don’t you go get some beer and snacks.

Let’s just go home.

Hey! Remember, I used to take care of you?

I saved you so many times.

Thanks. Thank you.

But it’s time to go home.

I want to drink more. Give me my beer.

- Come, hurry. - Hey, give it!

- Come, hurry. Come. - I said give it!

Come, come!

You’re dead!

HEY!

Give it!

Come! Let’s go home.

Hey!

What? You’re selling the truck?

Sis, pick up Chorong today, okay?

Yes, I can. What’s going on?

There’s a used truck for sale, I gotta go see. Thanks.

Eh? Sounds like Dad’s phone…

Yeah?

Yes, this is Chadol’s phone.

What? Chorong?

You want her in a drama? She has no experience.

We saw the commercial, we liked her.

I heard it’s a lot of work with little pay.

Little pay? Kids make a lot these days.

And she's the main character’s daughter.

Do you know Cha Bom? She’ll be his daughter.

Cha Bom?

If she calls you Yoojin, you run into her and yell ‘Unni!’

Good.

Yoojin.

Unni!

Chorong’s talented.

- Yoojin’s going in soon, get her ready. - Okay.

Going again. Standby.

Ready!

Que!

Yoojin!

Unni!

Have you been well?

That girl...

Mom, where are you?

What do I do…

So you’re starting tomorrow?

Chadol, it’s you. Right?

Jooyoung!

Thank you so much. Oh, hey…

Good to see you.

I told you, I just want to see you.

I know you still love me and miss me.

You’re Yoojin.

Mrs. Baek…

Auntie…

Auntie?

His afternoon’s open?

He bought a new bicycle.

A bicycle?

I wish I had a pretty mother like you.

I guess Yoojin's name is Park Chorong.
