This is information on the United States Forces in Korea.

I heard he was close with the US Army Commander.

He was a Special Forces officer.

He strategized with the President during the Vietnam War.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the new government was formed due to that deep bond.

This is material that might come up during the press conference.

How detailed.

And this...

is material on the Secretary of Defense and his office.

Once this troublesome business is taken care of, let's stop by Boston regardless of the outcome.

What?

We have to tour the schools where you might study abroad.

It might be hard but hear me out.

Han Kwang Hoon...

needs to be under my father's shadow in order to...

leave three characters of his name...

a big mark on history.

I'm giving you advance warning so you don't waste your time.

Listen up.

I'm telling you so you won't waste time.

There's no one on earth...

who can divide me and Han Kwang Hoon.

What amazing confidence.

What if you're wrong?

Don't dream...

...useless dreams.

From now on...

in order to love one person forever...

I'll wager everything.

Are you shocked?

Let's wait and see.

How your fates divide.

If you really love Han Kwang Hoon,

it would be best to step aside for his future.

National Government Administration

I'm taking another car to the Blue House from here.

Escort Se Kyung home.

You're free after that, Kwang Chul.

See you tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Uncle...

I don't trust the right-hand man.

The sun will go down soon.

Really?

Then you should drive.

Kwang Chul, escort the princess home safely.

Alright.

Wait...

Go ahead and drive.

This isn't the right way.

It doesn't matter as long as we get home.

You're going in the opposite direction.

Be quiet, right-hand.

Do you know what happens if I turn the wheel this way?

Wow, you're such a scaredy-cat, right-hand.

Hey.

You nearly went to heaven, right?

Want to see heaven for real?

Look straight ahead.

What are you looking at?

I showed you heaven but you're still not satisfied.

What a boring princess.

Call me if you want to go to heaven again.

Are you talking or farting?

You don't have any friends, huh?

Right-hand, prepare to get fired.

I'm going to get you fired no matter what.

Then I'll stick to his left hand.

Oh, my goodness!

Get out.

Prepare to get fired, right-hand.

You should thank me for getting you home safely, you rude girl.

I'll cut off both right and left hands.

Hey, you.

Jeez.

My stuff is in the trunk.

Should I stop the car?

No.

That's okay.

Just leave it, it's not important.

They want to discuss visitation procedures, not a detailed prosecution of a summit meeting.

I see.

We are recognizing what policy

the US government is executing in Korea.

We are recognizing what policy the US government is executing for Korea.

Still, forgive me but,

Korea is an undemocratized military government, isn't it?

He's saying Korea is a military government, not a democracy.

Korea is developing its economy as a young nation.

That's why the economic relationship with the US is important.

However, the US government

is making civil rights the main focus.

But this issue...

can be addressed once the relationship between Korea and the US is established.

The Republic of Korea is just a young country...

with our economics, you know.

It is too early to jump to conclusions yet.

With the understanding and cooperation of both countries,

we believe there will be way to restore our traditional relations.

You guys look like slave traders.

It's the exact opposite.

We're servants sent to escort the queen to a party.

Hey.

Your noona probably has money. Tell her to move out of this shack.

It's hard going up and down these mountain roads.

What's going on? There's no filming today.

This is an event that will go down in history for the Korean film industry.

All the movie executives and top stars will be in one place.

Top star? I haven't even hatched yet.

Yeah, right.

Director Im is waiting below.

What?

You look so pretty.

Do you want to look in the mirror?

What do you think, Director?

What about this dress?

This one is nice, too.

Let me see.

Flamboyant is nice...

but what about a pure, innocent look?

Oppa.

Are you well?

Yeah.

Step out.

Everyone in the movie industry dreams of making a film production studio.

You'll need a lot of land for a project of this scale.

Do you know how to read blueprints?

I've had to learn for a reason.

I see why Director Im treasures Tess so much now.

She's not just a pretty face.

You're right, we need to secure two or three times more land.

That's why I arranged this meeting before the party.

Is someone important coming?

He has arrived.

It's been a long time, Director Im.

The Director wanted to speak to you before the party.

I'm sorry to trouble you.

I'm your fan, Director Im.

He's...

...your father.

She's the star of my next project.

Oh, really?

Nice to meet you.

Where have I seen you before?

You look familiar.

Oh, yes.

I remember now.

The documentary.

Have you seen it? The Flowers of Hope.

I saw it.

I recommended it to the Minister of Justice.

Did you know she was admitted to law school by taking GED?

I saw the newspaper article.

Your dream is to become the Minister of Justice?

What?

Did I...

...say something wrong?

You look displeased.

Our female lead is very picky.

Study hard.

I'll study...

But what's the point?

This nation doesn't abide by laws.

Seo In Ae.

The ones who should be on trial

are the ones enforcing the laws.

You're brandishing your blade...

in front of this nation's Prime Minister.

It's even refreshing for me to hear.

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

She must be a sharp actress as well.

Oh, yes.

No.

My face doesn't represent innocence very well.

The Director has a hard time.

Director Im.

Be sure to invite me to the movie premiere.

I really want to see it.

Yes, I will.

You've taken care of Director Im's worries in one shot, Prime Minister.

This is not for individual gain.

This is a milestone in elevating our nation's culture.

Do you know among ourselves we refer to you as the Minister of the Arts?

Really? What an honor.

What are you doing here, dear?

What do you mean?

The film association invited me.

It's been a long time, Director Im.

It's such an honor to have you here.

Seo In Ae?

Say hello.

She's the Prime Minister's wife.

This is the star of my next movie.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Seo In Ae.

Seo In Ae.

Seo In Ae?

That was Kwang Chul for sure.

Did you put the documents in the hotel safe?

Yes.

I thought I saw the Prime Minister's wife on the way out.

Hiro Yoshi.

Kwang Chul, you must be careful.

The Prime Minister's wife is extraordinary.

What?

She's a frightening person.

In all my life,

I've never seen a stronger woman.

She's called the Iron Butterfly.

How frightening is she to be called that?

Does she kill people?

Anyways, be careful.

Yes, sir.

There is no guest by the name of Han Kwang Chul.

I saw him leaving here.

Please check again.

He's a young man in his twenties.

He's definitely not here.

Now, now.

This is far enough, go inside.

Thank you so much for attending and giving a congratulatory speech.

I'm regretful I only gave a speech.

Thank you for your presence.

Why is my husband called the Minister of the Arts?

Thanks to you in the movie industry.

Please take good care of him.

Everyone already knows he's the next President.

Alright, then.

Who are you waving to?

It's that disrespectful brat who didn't say hello earlier.

Look at her arrogance.

She's not even an actress yet, but she's acting like a top star.

Dear.

That face...

Doesn't she look familiar?

Familiar? She's a new actress.

Her aura...

Her aura is familiar.

Where have I seen her?

I know I've seen her.

How tenacious...

Be honest.

You felt something, too.

That's why you subconsciously waved like that.

Right?

What are you thinking about?

Are you...

...remembering the past?

I'm right.

You waved your arm.

Were you that happy to see her?

Your bad habit might continue until you're eighty.

Seo In Ae.

They want you to come in.

Let go of me!

Let go.

Let go!

Let go of me!

Se Kyung.

Yeah?

Madam Min's butterfly senses...

...are accurate.

Even if you're out in space, she can still see you with a telescope.

What a dull life.

Right?

Yeah.

You visiting an official residence so often...

What if someone finds out?

Is the Chief of Staff...

...as ruthless as usual?

When you see me,

is politics all you want to talk about?

I'll tell you one thing before I go.

General Chun's devotion...

Don't forget that the President favors him.

If I let my guard down,

it might become a fearsome battle.

But the Prime Minister is so relaxed...

even though it's a shaky nation.

Don't look to him.

Work for me.

Take good care of your children.

Tae Kyung...

...is back, right?

I suppose so.

They say you need a good husband...

to have a good son.

Send him back immediately.

Thank you.

Tae Kyung.

Do you have a woman in Korea?

A woman?

A woman.

A woman...

If not, why would you rush back like this?

What if I do?

I'll eliminate her.

Eliminate?

How? By killing her?

You can say anything in anger.

It wasn't just a rumor.

They call you the Iron Butterfly who can make people disappear without a trace.

Your father is barely surviving. You come back with a guitar slung over your shoulder.

But that's too much, Mother.

What do you know?

Just...

Why don't you stick a pin in my heart like a butterfly collector?

No...

Use a big nail instead!

Answer me. Do you have a woman?

Yes, I do.

I rushed over because I wanted to see a woman.

Leave tomorrow. Understand?

My sources said he wasn't talking to women at the club.

Mother.

Oppa was just lonely and homesick.

Lonely?

Whose son does he think he is?

He should be careful with every word and gesture.

How dare he sing in a hotel club?

Can't the Prime Minister's son even have a hobby?

Must he enjoy his hobby in Korea?

What if the public found out? They would point fingers at him.

Hello.

Yes.

The First Lady?

Of course, put her on.

Yes, it's me.

Yes.

Yes.

My little sister who is prettier than a flower.

Thanks for the music and flowers.

Do you remember, oppa?

Death and the Maiden.

Do you still listen to this?

Yeah.

I wanted to see if you remembered.

Of course I remember.

You listened to this while you were ill.

You survived so why don't you listen to happier music now?

I'm glad you're here, oppa.

I'm so happy.

Grandmother.

Tell me one thing.

Where...

did Mother meet him?

I want to know, Grandmother.

Your mother...

was a teacher at Hwachun Middle School.

She was an art teacher.

She went to the lake to draw on Saturday.

She got caught in a rain storm.

You came to sketch the outdoors?

Where are you going?

I'm asking where you're going.

Miss.

The rain won't stop soon.

I'll escort you.

Let's go.

That day...

That time...

It shouldn't have rained.

The rain caused a mudslide on the mountain behind the school.

The army was clued in to help.

There...

She...

...met him again there.

Look...

Is this a time to paint pictures?

General Chun went to Washington on a secret visit.

Did you know about that?

Why did he go on the joint Hanmi Summit?

It should have been you.

You know what General Chun is after, don't you?

Don't get involved.

Power is given and taken in turns.

Who was the one who created your turn?

I'm saying I don't have any regret.

What a skilled professional.

You can be honest in front of your wife.

In the next election,

will you just sit back and enjoy the talk of you being next in line?

Since it comes in turn, you'll pretend not to be greedy.

Why don't you do it?

Be the Prime Minister...

and the next President.

Fine.

If you don't want to, I'll do it.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Then either he...

or his wife...

One of the two wanted to kill my mother and me.

Right, Grandmother?

Just in case.

If that really happened,

they can do it again.

Just keep it hidden.

Then why did you tell me?

It would have been better not to know.

But still...

You have to know your bloodline.

What's the point?

What's the point of knowing your bloodline just to get revenge?

Don't tell Kwang Hoon.

Until you two are married.

Married?

Will we be able to, Grandmother?

What do you mean?

Kwang Hoon oppa...

is aiming so high, Grandmother.

Cut!

Okay!

Okay, that was great, Seo In Ae.

There is no guest by the name of Han Kwang Chul.

I saw him leaving here.

Please check again.

Your emotion is focused.

Great job.

What is it, Hiro Yoshi?

Please go up without me.

Hiro Yoshi?

Are you Hiro Yoshi?

Or Han Kwang Chul?

In Ae.

In Ae?

Han Kwang Chul is really alive.

Follow me.

We can't talk here.

I thought you died because of me.

My bones ached.

My heart broke.

Every night...

I couldn't sleep.

Thank you, Kwang Chul.

Thank you.

Thank you, Kwang Chul.

The international tourism board distributed the building rights to the national hotel.

So, Busan Construction built a hotel in Gangnam. Right here.

But the fearless Jang Tak San is shaking in fear regretting this.

But why?

The price of the land will continue to rise.

But he didn't know government policy shifts on a daily basis.

I guess so.

It's different than selling Taeyang rubber shoes in Busan.

So, what now?

What now?

They want us to take over.

What?

Who?

Is it In Ae?

You scared me.

In Ae.

Wh... What's going on?

The boss looks pissed.

Leave, I want to talk to the Master.

Oh, well...

What's going on?

I said leave.

O... Okay, boss.

See you later, Master.

Okay.

Where did you go?

The production company called for you.

Why didn't you?

Why didn't you tell me Kwang Chul was alive?

Did you meet him?

I asked why.

Ask him yourself if you've met him. Why are you...

Why didn't you?

Kwang Chul asked me not to.

As soon as he got back, he went to your academic center and movie set.

You're the first person he saw.

Academic center?

Movie set?

When did he return?

Well...

It was when you were filming at the park.

In Ae.

He's back, isn't that enough?

He came back from death, so he can do anything he wants.

It was so hard living with the guilt that I caused his death.

I had nightmares every night.

Since it didn't happen to you, you let it go?

You're supposed to know me inside and out.

In Ae's temper is the same as ever.

Where would it go?

I thought she was going to hit me.

I almost needed an ice pack, too.

Laughing?

Because I'm the same as ever, too.

Ever since I was little, I always liked getting hit by In Ae.

So, you like it now?

She even declined visitation from your hyung because we hadn't found your body.

As soon as she got out of juvenile hall,

she went to the spot you fell, to throw flowers and sob.

She said she wouldn't believe you were dead until the day she died.

Is that why...

I made it back alive?

You're right.

Right.

How much information do we have?

Look at this.

Jang Tak San was too greedy.

Hotel construction materials and furnishings...

were imported from abroad.

Even the design was replicated from abroad.

He must have been sure the land would become the future Myungdong.

Right.

But there's another problem even with all that money.

Look.

Part of the hotel land is owned by the government.

City-owned - Land owned by the government.

Really?

This won't be resolved easily whether a hotel is built or not.

Just pretend you don't know anything.

No, we have to attack harder.

We buy the hotel and acquire the construction rights.

Is the hotel a toy? Don't talk nonsense.

Master.

If this goes well, it will become our stepping stone to success in Seoul.

You know Director Lee from Busan Construction, right?

Meet with him tomorrow.

Are you joking?

Do I...

What's wrong?

Did your tooth fall out? Is it loose?

Should we go to the dentist?

How could she beat you this badly?

Let me see, let me see.

It was just one hit.

You probably bit down on your molar when she hit you.

I didn't know she would hit me.

What are you doing?

What's this?

Se Kyung, you're putting on lipstick?

What?

You have on makeup, too.

No, I don't.

What do you mean, no? The evidence is right there.

Do you like someone?

No...

Nothing like that, oppa.

You're suspicious.

What did Mother say?

Don't change the subject.

Wipe this off.

Don't you have...

anything to say to your son...

who left school in the middle of a term?

He said he had time after completing his exams.

And...

It's also Se Kyung's birthday.

Do you know where he was caught last night?

Caught?

Who is it?

Who has my son under surveillance?

Is it Park Young Tae?

He's acting in your stead.

My stead?

Just one week.

Let me spend time with Se Kyung.

Three days.

Don't go around with your guitar.

Stay quiet.

Or you'll be forced to leave.

Was it because of that young lady?

That you dared to refuse my daughter, Hiroko.

No, it's not.

That girl...

Well...

Don't lie to me. I can see right through you.

You rascal!

Your ears are red.

Chairman, it's not true.

Look here.

Uncle, over here. Here, here.

Tae Kyung, you're really here. Long time no see.

It's the first time seeing you since Boston.

Good to see you.

Hiro Yoshi, say hello.

This is Se Kyung's older brother.

Nice to meet you. I'm Hiro Yoshi.

Right-hand, be careful with your right hand.

Not just anyone should extend their right hand first.

I'm Kim Tae Kyung.

I brought him with me from Japan.

From Japan?

Let's sit.

Yeah, he's the right-hand man mistakenly brought along from Japan.

You know him?

Yeah.

He's the spiteful, mean and evil right-hand man of Uncle.

You know him that well?

Yeah.

We even fought.

Chairman, enjoy your meal.

No, sit with us.

Excuse me, another setting please.

There's no need.

I already caught on. He's the one you wore lipstick for.

Oppa, it's not that.

Don't deny it.

A Time of Famine

Where did you get that book?

That idiot probably read this book a thousand times.

All the kids in Busan did.

Don't look down on Kwang Chul.

Why?

Because he's the driver of a wealthy man from Japan?

Do you have a Korean name?

Why do you want to know his name?

It's Han Kwang Chul.

Han Kwang Chul, why have you made my pretty little sister mad?

Who's mad? He's not even worth getting mad at.

He said I'm rude.

He called me a rude girl.

Rude girl?

Rude girl?

Hiro Yoshi said such a rude thing?

Of course, Uncle.

Your right-hand man is really rude, Uncle.

If you really said that to Se Kyung,

I like his rudeness.

Why are you siding with someone who's rude to your sister?

Then should I ask for a fight?

Of course.

Should we fight, Han Kwang Chul?

Right-hand, you keep your mouth shut in front of the Chairman.

Are you afraid you'll get fired?

See, Uncle?

Look at those eyes.

They're saying, "You just wait."

That's enough, Se Kyung.

He's being patient.

You're taking his side because he's your right-hand man?

That's right, you brat.

I like this guy who's rude to Se Kyung.

Are you raising a white flag before we even fight?

Sure, why not?

It's not hard because it's for my sister. I'll raise it immediately.

Here.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Our meeting time has passed.

Se Kyung.

We took up too much of your time.

That's right.

Chairman.

Let's meet again before you leave.

But, Chairman, I...

Actually, I came back to meet this girl.

What?

Oppa.

I saw the newspaper article.

Former juvenile delinquent admitted into law school.

The Korean Tess.

It's nice to meet you.

Oh, hello.

It's true, I really came back to meet her.

Oppa, are you okay? That's crazy.

Didn't she seem like that right-hand man's girlfriend?

Se Kyung, you put on lipstick for nothing.

Let's wait at the coffee shop.

This is fate. How could I meet the Korean Tess this quickly?

Oppa, get a grip.

I boastfully published this because of the ease in the Korean-Japanese relationship in the sixties.

Is it still around?

Chairman, you were our local hero.

We all grew up reading that book.

Kwang Chul got on a cargo ship to meet me.

Did he tell you he crossed the ocean like that?

Not yet.

That guy is still nervous.

It was a stroke of luck that we met and he learned quickly.

He had a very hard time in Japan before he met me.

What did he learn, Chairman?

Since earning money is everything to me,

it was about making money.

Hey, you.

What sin did you commit against this young lady?

I fell into the ocean that day.

When I came to my senses, I was lying on the shore.

I saw a Japanese ship from far away.

Everyone recognizes Japanese ships.

Who let you on board?

I held onto the side of the boat.

Then what?

Then what? You should have let me know you were alive, you jerk.

I'm sorry, Chairman.

The only sin he committed was not telling me he was alive.

Nothing more disgraceful than that?

Chairman, I'm the one who would have been disgraced.

She would never take such a thing.

Then you've fooled me for a long time.

I thought Han Kwang Chul was a man among men.

You're nothing in front of a woman.

You idiot.

Don't smile.

I remember.

When I got taken to the police station for fighting,

you always came to get me.

Like a parent.

That's how I feel today.

Where did you take me after I got out?

You took me to the beach and beat me up.

Where will you take me today?

Me aside,

why didn't you meet your hyung?

I saw him.

You did?

Yeah.

I saw him playing with important people at a hotel.

Both of you looked so good, I couldn't go near you.

What looked good?

It's cool. The Korean Tess, getting into law school...

Why did you hit me?

You should have left me back then. Why did you have to fall in the river?

I'm not one to hold back. Why are you bringing up the past?

Hold back from now on.

The guilt that comes with thinking someone died because of me...

It's horrible.

I'm alive, so it's okay.

You bastard.

Let go.

Let go.

Don't follow me.

I want you to hit me more.

I feel like I'll live now that you've hit me.

Then do you want to get hit in the lobby?

The lobby sounds great.

Over here!

Over here.

Oppa, how embarrassing.

Who cares? Why are you embarrassed?

Do you know who he is?

Who cares.

He's the Prime Minister's son.

What?

Why are you so surprised?

He's the Prime Minister Kim's son.

I told you I would wait.

Let's have tea, Seo In Ae.

I want to tell you how it's a miracle that we met.

A miracle?

It's a miracle. I really came back to meet you.

So, can we have another cup of tea?

I'll explain.

Please?

Alright.

Even though I don't believe in miracles.

In Ae!

In Ae.

Grandmother has fainted.

She's in the hospital. Hurry, it's urgent.

In Ae.

Here he comes!

He's coming!

Is it true that the joint Hanmi Summit is being held?

Yes, that's true.

Korea's President will be the first invited to meet the new US President.

In the joint Hanmi Summit, both countries will reaffirm their close relationship.

Does that mean the US is acknowledging the military government in Korea?

It doesn't seem that easy to attain.

That will be addressed by my assisting officer who acted as my translator.

General Chun was persuasive in the talks with the US representatives.

Our nation's security and economic advancement needs to be balanced.

We're going toward building a true democracy.

Did civil rights come up?

Severely criticizing a newly developing nation is...

What the...

What does that kid know talking to the media like that?

How dare he?

He doesn't want to live long!

Why did you hand over the mic?

I can't compliment myself, can I?

Well done.

Will it be alright?

The US aide extended an invitation, not a joint summit between Presidents.

You're the one who confirmed it.

You did well.

We're risking our lives anyway.

Someone is following us.

I think it's the Chief of Staff's orders.

Arrogant bastard...

Verify the license plate.

Yes, sir.

Remove her oxygen mask, please.

Mother.

Grandmother.

Speak, Grandmother. It's me, In Ae.

Kwang Hoon...

I know.

I know, Grandmother.

I trust him. I trust him, Grandmother.

I'll do it.

I'll do as you say, Grandmother.

I'll do it.

I'll see you...

...in heaven, Grandmother.

Mother.

Grandmother.

Mother.

Mother.

Grandmother.

No, Mother, you can't.

No, you can't. What will I do?

Mother, wake up.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

You went on a secret government mission?

Did you arrange the joint Hanmi Summit or something?

The US wouldn't deal with...

a nation who kills its opposition party leaders.

You gave it a lot of thought.

The opposition party leader who received the death penalty

will be commuted to a life sentence.

You're going to establish a new foundation

for the military government that quickly?

What's the next step?

Did you tour schools with General Chun?

What's next?

Becoming General Chun's son-in-law?

In Ae.

Are you working behind the scenes to manipulate modern history?

In Ae.

I glimpsed a bigger world.

We can accomplish the dreams of our youth.

I toured schools for us to study together.

Then why does it sound so empty?

Empty words floating around.

You must believe me, In Ae.

Fine.

That's what Grandmother said.

"Trust Kwang Hoon."

She told me to trust you until the end. But...

So, don't argue and trust me.

Like Grandmother said...

...trust me.

Trust me.

In Ae, Grand...

Who is that?

Who is he?

Is that Kwang Chul?

Who are you?

Are you Han Kwang Chul?

In Ae, what's going on?

What?

Was I...

the only one who didn't know?

Is that really Han Kwang Chul?

Is it?

It is.

You bastard!

You jerk!

Don't meet her again.

I won't leave her alone.

What do you mean?

You're after a girl with such important work to do?

Is this all you're worth?

I missed you so much.

I didn't forget for one minute, not one second!

- Han Kwang Chul! - What?

Have you seen the blood spilled by someone dying?

I'll help you...

...with your revenge.

Seo In Ae, I won't forgive you.

Will I die by the hand of the Iron Butterfly?

Leave us for good.

That means you're not happy I came back alive.
