As the day comes to an end and people return home...

my day begins.

This is all we have on the menu.

Customers just order whatever they want, and I serve them those dishes.

I'm open from midnight until seven in the morning.

You may wonder if anyone comes all the way out here to eat.

You see... there are quite a lot of them.

[Episode 5: Hamburg Steak]

- I scared you, right? - It's not magic! You were just hiding.

I'm a professional magician.

That's why I only do my tricks on stage, for money!

7-year-old Saet Byul's dad is a single dad and a magician.

He used to get by mostly through working night shifts.

Luckily, one day he got an opportunity to be on TV.

But unfortunately...

Oh no!

He should have taken pills to calm his nerves.

Things just never go well for him.

However...

we weren't the only ones who watched the show.

Congratulations. You've become quite famous.

People are talking about you all over the Internet.

You're probably the first ordinary person to become this popular.

Excluding criminals.

Thanks to this, I found a way to contact you after three years of searching.

It must be nice being famous.

What do you want?

Saet Byul. I'm taking her with me.

Shut up. You abandoned her.

I never abandoned her.

One of us had to survive. What was I supposed to do?

I was going to take her once I made some money.

I thought about her every single day for the last five years.

I'm all settled down now.

So do you have a job?

Yeah.

At least I wouldn't make her move from one place to another

and work night shifts like you do.

You're still very good at upsetting people.

She starts school next year.

How long are you going to do this to her?

Aren't you concerned about the environment she grows up in?

I even think I'm a freaking idiot. I'm sure I look worse in her eyes.

I just can't get drunk today.

Master, are you sure this isn't water?

I pretended like he was talking nonsense, but I was actually surprised.

Since his collapse on the show, I've been mixing water into his drinks.

He blames it on his nerves

but I figured it would be best for him to drink a little less.

I don't know if I'm out of line

but why don't you just get back together with her mom?

- You said she's still single. - Forget it.

Since I've...

met a lot of women, I know.

No matter how much you roam around

there is no better place than home.

This is what my wife said too.

Back then, she wanted to kill me

but ultimately I was still the father of her children.

So, she thinks she made the best decision by taking me back.

Showing up here means she wants you to take her back.

Look at it from Saet Byul's perspective.

Imagine she's going through puberty.

There are a lot things girls can't talk to their dads about.

How are you going to look after little things like that? Huh?

Also, it's not like she left you for other men or something...

You said she did it to survive.

There is a saying

"once poverty strikes your family"

"love escapes out the window."

Don't do this to Saet Byul anymore.

Just...

Just accept her and take her back.

Are you all right?

This is embarrassing.

It's okay if it's a little windy.

I'm all right. I'm okay!

You know...

I think he has some thoughts about getting back together.

With Saet Byul's mom.

We have an emergency! Saet Byul's dad...

He collapsed on the street!

I am so shocked I'm not even hungry.

Me neither. I don't even want noodles.

Just give us beer, Master.

Thank god that doctor found him and called 911.

You're right.

While the ambulance was on its way, he even gave first aid!

I was surprised by Mr. Kim too.

I thought he wouldn't do anything. He even went to the hospital with them.

You're right.

My goodness!

I sweated so much today.

- You've done well. - Of course!

Without me, you wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Do you know what he did?

He caused a scene and said he was going home.

He pulled out all of his IVs.

I got punched while trying to stop him.

You're an oriental medicine doctor.

Don't you carry any painkillers with you?

How nice would it have been if you had given him something to calm him down?

Acupuncture can't just cure everything.

What did the doctors say?

I don't know. They drew his blood and everything.

We'll have to wait for the results. But isn't it obvious?

- It's just from his drinking. - I don't think so.

What are you saying?

Are you joking with us? Don't scare us like that.

Did you hear something from the doctor?

I took his pulse while he was drunk, so I can't be sure.

But I think it's something serious.

Stop talking nonsense. You're drunk!

Don't believe what he's saying. He's a famous quack.

However...

why do all sad premonitions always come true?

He has liver cancer.

He came to me to see if I could treat him with Chinese medicine.

Is it curable?

The doctors told him he could maybe live for another year.

But I don't know. He seemed to have a lot of thoughts.

I don't know what he plans on doing.

- Did you have fun today? - Yeah.

Going to an amusement park and the zoo with you was so much fun.

Do you have anything else you want to do with me?

- I do. But I can't do them anymore. - Why not? What is it?

Magic.

You know when I was doing magic tricks with you...

There is no such thing as magic! I don't believe it!

We only work with beautiful ladies! Please get off the stage.

Hey! Let go of me! Try to make me disappear!

You've been waiting a long time.

We'll now bring the pretty girl back!

I could hear everything he was saying.

But I just didn't have any strength.

Saet Byul! Saet Byul!

Saet Byul! Saet Byul!

I'm so sorry, Saet Byul. I'm sorry.

I was the one who was sorry.

I was upset because you apologized to me instead.

Come here, Saet Byul.

How come you don't do magic tricks anymore?

Did you get fired because I messed up your magic show that day?

That's not it, Saet Byul.

This is a secret

but that's not how you do disappearing magic tricks.

Then how do you do it?

Since that's an extremely difficult trick to perform

you can't do it. Only I can.

- Really? Can you really do it? - Of course!

Hang tight.

I will...

show you...

a real disappearing magic trick.

- Really? - Of course!

Promise me?

Promise.

You acted like you weren't ever going to see me again.

Take Saet Byul with you.

I just have one condition.

His decision before his death...

is to disappear. Completely, with magic.

This is nonsense!

I thought that was just his luck.

But he's making things more difficult for himself.

Why is he doing this?

He wants Saet Byul's mom to take care of her so that he can get treated.

Think about it.

I'm sure he doesn't want Saet Byul to see him being sick.

He's being an amazing father up until the very end.

He's asking us a for favor for his daughter.

We should all help him.

I can't do it because I might cry.

I heard chemotherapy takes a toll on you.

Who's going to look after him?

I'm sure Saet Byul's mom will. She even wanted to get back together.

Why won't he just live happily with his family?

I... understand him a little bit.

Because I still believe that my dad is alive somewhere.

I don't know who he is.

But that hope that I may see him again

is more endurable than my mom's death.

The last magic trick of his life

was a cruel and brilliant torture of hope.

You just need to stand over here and bow.

Then just go back around here.

Stand over here, and there will be a box.

Just put your hand through and...

Give me the hammer. Come on! Don't just sit there.

Do something.

- What if we made it this big? - I think it would look tacky.

Should I make it smaller?

Use these fish hooks and put it...

- Have some of this. - Roasted corn.

We're getting so many snacks. I'm going to gain weight.

What are you sucking on?

- Have some of this. - I like sucking on the core.

Hey, a man always needs to have swag.

People may think little of you if you sit there sucking things like that.

My goodness. Are you now even butting into what he eats?

Buy him something to eat and then you can comment.

We'll be done with all of this by tomorrow.

So is Saet Byul's dad getting treated right after he's done with the trick?

I think so.

He set this D-Day based on the day he's getting hospitalized.

This is my last time.

It's still the best.

Hey. Even now, you could...

I've done a lot of things that I regret in my life.

Such as not studying hard when I was young

endorsing my friend's loan

and putting Saet Byul in my magic shows.

Also, I've had this thought lately.

If I had known this would happen

I should have taken Saet Byul and her mom out to eat more often.

Saet Byul...

used to really like Hamburg steak at this one restaurant.

The kid's menu is much better than the adult menu.

Saet Byul loved it so much.

I only took her a few times on her birthdays.

And without her mom. Just the two of us.

I promised her, once Mom comes back

the three of us could go eat there together.

But, I'm never going to regret this decision.

[We're closed this Friday.] Everyone quiet down.

Shush! Be quiet!

Now I present you with

the magic show of the infamous Saet Byul's father!

Hello.

My magic tricks are close to magic spells.

I can do telepathy.

This means I can read your mind.

To prove this

I'll pick out a card that you guys have chosen.

There are cards with different shapes and colors.

Once you've chosen one of them, I'll guess which one is yours.

Ms. Saet Byul? Please pick a card from this stack.

Here you go. Please pick one.

Hold on! Don't show it to anyone.

Do you have your card?

Now put it back on the stack.

I can't see these cards.

I'll guess which card Ms. Saet Byul picked.

- Is this it? - Yes!

And another one from your doll!

Now, you're fine, right?

Oh my goodness!

What is he going to do now?

If magic really exists

these were the moments I wanted to stop time.

It's almost time to end my show.

The last trick I have prepared is

only available to you guys.

It's the ultimate teleporting magic trick.

My dad can really disappear. He's going to teleport to the U.S.

The Americans said they really want to see my dad in person and invited him.

Although I'll disappear with this magic trick

I'll go to the U.S.

to passionately and amazingly perform more magic tricks there.

Everyone, during this time, thank you for...

looking after me.

Saet Byul.

I've prepared one last present for you. You're really going to like this.

Sure, Dad.

You need to succeed with this trick, and go to the U.S.

- Sure. - Dad, good luck!

It's so sad.

I'm now leaving for the U.S.

Loudly, all of you

please yell out "One, two, and three."

- One! - One!

- One. - Two!

- Two! - Two.

Bye, Dad!

Three!

- Mom? - Saet Byul.

You must be so happy to have such a pretty mom.

- It must be nice. - She's your dad's gift.

Where's Dad?

My dad really disappeared.

His magic tricks are real. My dad's magic tricks are real!

However... what she said was true.

Saet Byul's dad really did disappear.

I heard he didn't show up at the hospital either.

It has been two years since the day he disappeared.

On that day, we wait right here for him to come back. Just like this.

He may actually come back some day.

Just like the magic trick

he showed us that day.
