Original subtitles

Mister.

What are you doing?

Nothing... I'm not doing anything...

My wife came to say hello to you.

Did you see her?

Excuse me?

My wife just there...

My wife wanted to thank you from ages ago.

Let's have dinner together later.

I can't. I have an urgent appointment...

No...

I have some urgent matters to attend to.

I was thinking of how to get off work early today...

Oh, really?

Yes, I do.

This happened last time too.

Last time?

She hardly visits but she came last time as well.

I'm sorry. I have to be off in a hurry.

Why are you standing there? Have a seat.

Why were you in the lobby?

Did you go out somewhere?

I went to talk to Mr. Manho but it didn't work out.

He's busy today.

Really?

Should I go see him and say hello now?

I think he's going home early.

Why don't you just go on a date with me today?

Have you finished your work?

I just need to check tomorrow's schedule.

I've confirmed your hospital reservation for tomorrow.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Hospital?

You said you're going to the gynecologist tomorrow.

We agreed I'd come and get tested too.

I forgot.

Must be the season. You never forget things.

Let's go see the foliage.

- How pretty. - This is nice.

Aren't you cold?

I'm okay.

What do you mean you'd like to be transferred?

Not the lobby help desk.

The laundromat is okay. The kitchen is fine too.

I don't mind taking care of patients that have no guardians as well.

Do you find it hard at the help desk?

No...

I'm going to stay there until the day I promised.

It's not that it's hard or anything...

I just want to do something that's harder.

Manual labor, that sort of thing.

Dr. Kang Migyeong. Dr. Lee Sangu.

Did you both have something happen at home?

You look like you've had a fight.

I know about Sangu.

What's up with you, Dr. Kang? You're dampening the mood.

I'm usually like this in autumn.

It's because of the season.

Autumn?

Gosh.

Roof top.

I'll go first.

I forgot to check on a patient.

You brought proper coffee.

I guess we can't have evening coffee here anymore.

It's too cold.

- It's really like how it used to be. - Huh?

Are we really going to act like before?

We agreed to do that.

It feels like the great typhoon has died down too suddenly.

But it's still a relief.

I'll take this.

Marriage would've been difficult before we became specialists anyway.

We can do what we wanted to and I'll work hard to make up for my wrongs.

And show you my true feelings.

Was there a lot you wanted to do?

Of course.

We've gotten by from seeing each other's faces once in a while at the hospital.

We haven't had many dates outside of the hospital.

What was it that you wanted to do so much outside?

We've been to the amusement park, movies, ancient palace, cafe, restaurant.

We haven't been to the night market, we haven't seen a late night movie.

We haven't been on a holiday together.

And we always get called in at times like this.

Just as if they're watching us from above somewhere?

That's what I mean.

Let's go. Before we get punished together by the chief.

My wife wanted to thank you from ages ago.

I was crazy. I was really crazy.

How can you be so thoughtless?

Didn't you know that this would happen?

I thought about it all just in case.

I tried to avoid working there at all costs.

You know how persistent Ujae is.

If I somehow got out of working there, I was sure he'd come looking for me again.

What will you do now?

What will you do about our Seoyeong?

Don't worry too much.

I'll get out of there as soon as possible.

Don't resent me too much.

I've been trying to figure out a way to get out without Ujae knowing.

You've always been bad at figuring things out.

Yeah, I know.

I know Seoyeong and Sangu take after you.

Mom, is sister-in-law late often these days?

It's been ages since I've seen her.

She's been coming home later after she became a lawyer.

You never see your family because you come home late and sleep in late.

Are you sure you're studying in the library at night?

Of course.

Are you sure you're studying properly?

Of course.

Are you his manager?

What? Manager? Don't be ridiculous.

It's not like Seongjae's an actor or movie star or model.

Why would he have a manager?

Then why are you answering on his behalf?

Don't you have a mouth?

I'm taking care of my own business.

With me... Those who are all talk, those who act like they're all that,

those who betray others and especially

those who fool around... I hate them.

How could none of those apply to Seongjae?

Those who make excuses in the end.

Those who don't take responsibility.

Those who have no ability. Those who have no ability yet talk all they want.

I believe that they should be punished to the third generation!

So that's what you think.

I hate men that think they're men when they don't act like men,

men who control women by force,

and men who force respect the most.

Oh, Seongjae...

Those who believe in themselves too much.

They don't believe others and pretend to take care of them.

And they don't know how to make their household peaceful.

I find them the most cowardly.

What? Cowardly?

Yes.

Oh, my, Seongjae, you're like that and honey, you're like that.

I find you so mysterious because you're like an onion.

I find you so cool because you're tough,

and even cooler because you make so much money.

Even though you have affairs you never get caught so it's thrilling.

Mom...

Oh, my. I'm just speaking nonsense.

We're home.

You're home early, father.

It's been a while, brother-in-law.

Oh, my. Didn't you say you'd be home after dinner?

We were going to but

we're going to the hospital tomorrow so we're having lunch together instead.

What hospital?

We're seeing a gynecologist, father.

Really?

Is it on your own accord or is it by force?

It's our own accord.

Some dinner for us too please.

Okay.

We would've come home earlier if we knew you'd be here, father.

Mother never makes us cautious of that.

And so she shouldn't.

It's been so long since times have changed.

But a mother-in-law like her is very hard to find.

If i married a woman like my mom, I'd be so good to her all my life.

Stop it.

It's because you're being so cautious.

Could that be it?

Oh, I'm tired.

Honey.

Could Hojeong have fallen into that?

What?

A cult.

"There's no need for marriage. Bring your love to me!"

It was on the news that there were a lot of prayer centers like that

around the metropolitan are in Yangpyeong.

That's true...

They make people change 180 degrees.

What if Hojeong's become par of one of those cults?

Look at this man, snoring in his sleep without a worry in the world.

My goodness.

Yes, Department Head.

I'm feeling so ill today.

I'm really sorry, I really don't think I can go to work today.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Let's meet at the restaurant since we're both busy.

I'll take my car.

Hello, vice-president.

Thank you for your hard work.

Isn't this Yu Manho's shift?

Mr. Yu couldn't come to work because he's got a bad cold.

Really?

Okay. Carry on.

Good bye then.

He said he lived alone with his son...

Secretary Kim, let me ask you for a favor.

Do you know how long it's been since I found someone new?

As soon as you quit, I hired someone else.

Isn't it work trying to decide what to eat for lunch each day?

Being able to decide what you eat each day is a blessing.

What should we eat?

Pasta, boiled pork, seafood stew?

What should we have for lunch?

I'm sorry but I...

Have to at sushi with me today.

- Hello, everyone. - Yes, hello.

I see you often.

We agreed to meet at the restaurant.

Why travel separately?

Especially when you've got a chauffeur like me?

I'll see you later.

Seoyeong doesn't seem like someone who's had a hard life.

Doesn't she seem too elegant and composed?

You're right.

Was she like that back in high school?

Why are you so interested in Lawyer Lee?

I'm just curious about a lot of things.

Why would you be curious about Lawyer Lee when she's not a man?

Don't you get curious?

How an orphan like Seoyeong was able to get married in 2 months?

If we knew that secret, you and I could have better futures.

Orphan?

Why are you so surprised?

The husband's tests will be over soon.

The wife needs to have hormone and ultra sound tests so it'll take some time.

Ujae, you go back to the office first.

I can take a taxi so you don't need to waste time because of me.

Okay then.

Make sure you call a taxi after your examination.

I'll see you at home.

You're just getting tested to please mom,

and yet you're going to wait until she's finished?

I'm killing two birds with one stone.

What do you mean?

Call your guy. Let's see what he's like.

Ujae...

Men are better judges of men.

If I see him, I'll know how he recognized me...

Whether he knew me beforehand or through the interview photos.

I can tell straight away.

You can't.

We agreed to just stay as friends for now.

Stay as friends?

I think he's worried about our family.

I've agreed to that already. Imagine if he sees you now.

If you've agreed to be friends, can you not even introduce him to your brother?

He finds our family burdensome.

Call him.

If he doesn't want to meet me, that makes him strange.

It'd be different if he didn't know me but he can't just let it pass now.

Don't tell him I'm here. Just call him over.

Can you come to the lounge for just a bit?

Okay.

Ujae, you can't ask things like, "How did you recognize me?"

I told you I wouldn't say that.

I really won't leave you alone.

Just say I came by surprise.

Okay.

Dr. Lee Sangu! It's an urgent call from the emergency room.

It's an attempted suicide. Please hurry!

Okay, I got it.

He's been called in at emergency.

Will it take long?

It's a suicide attempt so it'll take a while.

He might have to go straight into surgery.

It's so hard to just see his face.

We'll take care of our business.

Just go to your wife.

Ujae...

Is it over?

Didn't you leave?

I told you to go first.

You said that knowing I wouldn't leave, right?

As if. Stop making me look weird.

It's not my style to say one thing and hope for another.

And just why isn't that your style?

A lot of girls usually say one thing and mean the other.

It's a common thing.

Kang Ujae, you're making it so obvious that you have a lot of girl experience.

A guy with no experience means he's got nothing to offer.

It's nothing to brag about either.

See? No matter how much I tease, you never ask.

Don't wait for the results or anything.

By the way, did father really have an affair?

Well...

My dad's so unique that no one knows what he's thinking.

I guess. Mother isn't someone to know something but pretend not to know.

Don't worry about dad and just worry about me.

Why would I worry about you doing that?

If that ever happened we'd both decide to call it quits.

Are you telling me that if I have an affair it's an immediate divorce?

I'm saying that's what you'll choose to do.

You're someone who can't give your heart to two women at once.

It's either a hit or a miss. You don't have in betweens.

I'm sure it'll be easy to tell once you have a change of heart.

Was I really that much of a scary person?

Yeah.

What is it?

It doesn't matter even if your husband is my chief surgeon.

It wouldn't bother me in the least.

If you have the time, do you want to go for coffee?

Excuse me.

What would you like?

Is this Mr. Yu Manho's house?

My husband's not home at the moment.

This was sent by the vice-president to Mr. Yu Manho.

The vice-president?

He wished him a quick recovery.

I'll be off then.

Vice-president?

What is all this?

It's cold, right?

It's a little cold.

Get in, I'll turn the heater on for you.

What happened to the trial records I asked for?

I know how to ride a motorbike.

And I can move goods.

People who are old are too slow to be hired.

Please give me a chance before you decide.

Just one week. That's all I ask.

I'm sorry. Good bye.

Excuse me.

It's okay even if you don't pay me as much.

I'll take $20 off and just take $100.

Please just leave.

I'm sorry.

You're back, Vice-president.

I didn't miss anything, right?

How's Yu Manho?

He wasn't there. I just passed it on to his wife.

Wife?

I didn't think he had a wife.

I went to the address and Yu Manho's wife came out.

Really?

Hey, Mr. Lee

Yeah.

Looks like you've had a rough night.

I've caught you red handed. You're a total con artist.

Stop talking nonsense.

You lied about being sick today and went on a date, didn't you?

No matter how much you're in love, you shouldn't do that.

How did you know that?

That vice-president is really something.

He sent all this beef leg bone and dried yellow corvina because you were sick.

What?

Don't you worry.

An employee brought it while I wasn't here.

My wife took it and was cooking it.

So I just split it fifty fifty.

Oh, God.

Mr. Yu!

Come out here.

I told you to take it before.

Make sure your wife doesn't utter a word.

And make sure you don't say anything either.

If I get caught for using your name...

I'll be put in prison.

Got that?

Okay, I know.

There's no need to cause such a fuss though.

I don't like things like this.

It really bothers me, you know!

I'm going to cut all ties with that place once I quit.

And if anyone asks, just say I moved away.

Moved away?

Yeah!

Just say you don't know where I went.

And make sure your wife keeps her mouth sealed.

Got that?

Okay, got it.

Dad...

Hey, Sangu.

Are you coming home now?

Did you make up with Migyeong?

I'm sorry, dad...

About me and Migyeong... We're still young so

just think that we're going through this and that and please don't ask.

It looked like you were having a fight with Mr. Yu.

Was it because he told me about your girlfriend?

Don't ask about my private life either then.

I'll take care of that.

What did you mean when you said that you came to your sense because Seoyeong left?

You acted like you had forgotten all about Seoyeong.

Was that not it?

You sad that even parents dislike the children that dislike them.

You said it was hard dealing with Seoyeong when she didn't like you.

You said it didn't matter whether she lived in the U.S. or not.

You said you couldn't throw that out because it was your first in 30 years.

You never ask about how she's doing.

You never wait for her calls.

You've never said that you've missed her.

Do you think you can ever forget your children?

That's just how it is.

I understand 100% why Seoyeong hates and resents me.

So don't you resent your sister.

If she hadn't left like that back then, I wouldn't have come to my senses.

I wouldn't have realized what I'd done wrong in life

and just lived on greed for business and become a cabaret dancer and con artist.

I would've ruined my life.

But I was able to wake up then.

You should be thankful to your sister.

Otherwise you would've had to spend your life cleaning up after your father.

I'll go wash.

Dad, why isn't the hot water coming out?

That's because I closed the tap.

Open the valve in the bottom.

Why did you close the tap when it's cold?

You can wash with cold water fine.

It just wastes money.

Hello

Yes, hello.

How do you feel?

I'm fine now.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

It must be time to change shifts and go to lunch.

Oh, yes.

Meet me in the lobby.

I haven't had lunch yet myself.

Okay, I will.

I'll park the car and meet you there.

Here you go.

Thank you.

You said you had urgent business.

Was it something at home?

Yes, my friend was sick so I was visiting him.

I see.

By the way, do you have a wife?

I heard that you only lived with your son.

Vice-president.

Yes?

How much do you think a person can know about someone else?

Excuse me?

I meet that shop owner here and there.

Just how much do you think he knows about me?

If you meet someone every day, does that mean you know about them?

If you're blood related, do you know all about them?

Does being married mean you know all about the other person?

I see...

A person's mind is so endlessly deep and vast...

And they have endless stories and twists that make up their lives, don't they?

You're right.

But people only try to see others through the mirror they hold in their hands.

How can you understand the minds of others through only your own experiences?

In life, there are moments that you just can't help.

Moments that you just can't help...

Once it's over, a lifetime will just feel like a moment...

But because of a decision you made in a moment of that moment...

There are people who are troubled all their lives.

Even though a moment isn't everything.

Though it's not like I know more about life than you...

I'm just saying this as someone who's experienced a few more days than yourself.

Don't say that.

They're wise words.

I'll never forget them.

Please eat.

Let's eat.

Okay.

Seonu...

You want me to let you take care of our company work?

Don't look at me with such scary eyes.

I've already received permission from your wife.

You received permission from Seoyeong?

You can confirm that yourself.

I didn't want to take on your company work if I could help it.

But from the rumors I heard, it's quite a large sum.

Isn't it a given that I'd want to go after such an opportunity.

Yes, I'm sure that's how your law firm feels.

It's not like I don't have the ability or any connections with WINNERS.

And if it's your wife's law firm, you could've offered to hand it to us first.

I'll think about it.

Make sure you think hard about it.

And why aren't you setting me up on a blind date?

Seungu had a decent university friend.

Want to meet him?

You should've checked him out first to see if he was decent.

I've met him a few times.

He's alright.

Then okay.

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable...

Minseok

What on earth is this guy doing to avoid my calls?

How can he not even call me once?

Who are you?

Oh...

I'm the new member that signed up recently.

I saw the notice about the gathering.

I'm Department Head Gong, the leader of the Let's Race club.

Yes, my ID is Reyouth.

The returned youth.

Reyouth.

Looks like everyone's here.

Let's step inside.

So you quit your job and you're starting a second life?

Yes, I'm reliving the youth that I missed out on.

I wanted to live it even though it was late.

I respect your decision.

That's really brave of you.

Quitting your job in your 40s.

In my 40s?

Aren't you in your mid 40s?

I'm almost 60.

What?

Really?

You look amazingly young.

Do I really look that young?

What do you eat to look so young?

My wife's cursing and alcohol!

That's right. You need to drink alcohol.

What's going on, Seongjae?

I need to go study now so I'll just get straight to the point.

Did you start studying again?

I quit acting academy.

Really? I guess your mother convinced you well.

I won't go to acting academy any more.

So don't ever seek out my mom about my business ever again.

Do you know how stressed and cautious my mom is?

I was just worried that the CEO would find out.

I was worried about you. That's why I told her.

Just go and tell my dad instead.

What?

Look, lady.

Why are you such a gossip?

If you promised me that you wouldn't tell anyone

why would you go and tell my mom?

If you have some gossip to tell mom, just go tell dad from now on.

Got that?

Cancellation of contract

What are you doing?

Sign it and take out the contract.

So I can tear it up.

Let me think about it first.

Why? Don't want it to get torn up?

You don't, huh?

Of course you don't.

It's not that I don't want to. I just feel wronged.

You scouted me not that long ago.

What agency fires an actor because of the tutor?

You're not an actor. You're just a trainee.

Still. Isn't this a breach of contract?

Sue me then.

My sister-in-law is a lawyer, you know.

That's good. You won't have to pay any legal costs.

It's not like that.

Why on earth is Seo Eunsu a tutor anyway?

Oh, that's right.

All this occurred because I wasn't given enough information about the tutor.

This is the agency's responsibility.

Seo Eunsu is our most trusted tutor for trainees.

We only entrust those that we really believe to have star potential.

She's a very special tutor.

Satisfied?

Is she really that great a tutor?

I wouldn't trade her for 10 of you.

Not even 100 for you.

Then why didn't you tell me earlier?

And what if I did?

I would've been a good trainee.

Yeah...

What a pity.

Department Head!

What?

Please give me one more chance.

I'll really work hard this time.

You're the one that walked out saying you don't like the tutor.

Oh, no way!

I just didn't know better.

I can do whatever she tells me to now.

Even jumping into Hangang naked.

Do you mean it?

Yes, I really mean it.

Geez, you're so noisy.

Oh, you were here?

Department Head Gong, I can't sleep because it's too noisy.

I guess you heard everything.

What should we do?

All he utters is empty words.

What's the point in believing the words of a fool who never keeps his word?

Oh, no way.

We're having a concert ticket give away.

You are to express the person you think is cool through your body.

Let's start now.

Write it and begin. You've got 10 minutes.

Please wait just a moment.

He's on top of the world...

But he's a lonesome top star because all he has is the way down

He's starting.

Isn't that a student sleeping in class?

Is it?

Someone who's thinking while standing?

Hey, trainee. You call that acting?

Excuse me?

Anyone can tell you're acting like you're sleeping and yet you do it like that?

You could even wipe the floor with that talent in the theater.

That's not it.

It doesn't matter.

I'm a theater director.

What you're expressing right now...

No one could guess what on earth you are expressing, you fool!

What will you do if I guess it?

Will you show me one more time?

Mister.

You say you're a director. How can you not know what that is?

What?

The answer is this...

He's expressing a top actor who's on top of the world but is lonesome because all he has is the way down.

What did you just say? A top actor's loneliness?

Watch carefully.

His arms are folded.

His hip is at a 10 degree angle.

This is the stance of someone who is on top of the world.

It's not 15 degrees or 5 degrees. It's exactly 10 degrees.

And this hand that's on his chin.

It's come down like this.

This is symbolizing his fall.

And the climax is this finger.

Look carefully at his baby finger.

It's around 0.2cm further than the other fingers.

This is what you call loneliness.

It's the loneliness that you can't share with anyone else.

He's expressing the top actor's loneliness through this finger.

I think she's right.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Show us the answer.

"He's on top of the world...

But he's a lonesome top star because all he has is the way down."

Since he's revealed the answer, we won't take any more.

What is this?

Looks like you need to work on your eye for talent.

You're all done.

Roof top.

Migyeong...

You want to have a date at night?

If I help you with your rounds, you'll finish earlier too, right?

I'd be so happy if you did that.

Let's visit the night market and eat something delicious.

Okay, I'd better get a move on from now.

Pardon me.

Who did you come to see?

Both of you.

It's a gift for the both of you.

They're couple scarves.

Couple scarves?

It's to celebrate the fact that you've made up.

Take a look.

Haven't they been switched?

No.

The pink one is for Sangu.

I know a bit about this stuff.

Sangu suits pink best.

And this color suits your skin best.

I even put your initials on them.

I hope you experience a wonderful relationship and all goes well.

Thanks.

Thanks.

This is good. Let's wear these on our date later.

You want me to wear this?

Let's wear them for Hojeong's sake.

But still, I can't wear pink.

Oh, Dr. Kang Migyeong.

Yes, Professor.

Check on Shin Jihyeon, the one that had surgery yesterday and report back to me.

Yes, right away.

Dr. Kang, do you have bipolar disorder?

It was like you were on your deathbed yesterday but today you're absolutely fine.

Yes, I am absolutely fine!

I'm home.

Wasn't there any traffic from Yangpyeong?

No.

How would you know when you didn't even come from Yangpyeong?

What do you mean by that?

I've been measuring your odometer every day for the past week.

You've been traveling exactly 18 to 19 km each day.

Yangpyeong, you wish.

Where on earth have you been going?

Where I do my volunteer work is no longer important.

What?

Have a seat. I need to tell you something.

Just what are you going to tell me now?

Oh, my, Hojeong...

What is all this?

Wdhy are you bringing out your bags?

Are you thinking of running away from home or something?

I'm not. Have a seat.

Mom, I quit playing the harp halfway through the first semester in the U.S.

Halfway though?

What? Then what were you doing for the rest of that time?

I was studying something else.

What do you mean something else?

What was it?

This.

What's all this?

I attended an art school where I learnt to make these.

Knitting, doll making, patchwork.

A place where you can learn all sorts of design work.

This is what I found fun.

I especially enjoyed knitting.

I knitted dolls like this.

It was a Scottish designer named Donna Wilson.

Look at this. Isn't it so pretty?

She's a fabric doll designer.

I want to do this as my profession.

I've lived my life as your doll so far.

I'm not going to live that way anymore.

I'm going to do what I can and what I like.

- Bite her. - Let's fight.

Does this suit me? It's pretty.

$5 above, $10 below!

Just take your pick, they all look good.

It's alright.

- Jeans are $10. Shirts are $5. - Jeans are $10? It's really cheap.

- Do you want one? - No way. You can't wear this.

Let's look at something else.

Please enjoy.

Ma'am, two of these, no, three please.

Three would be too much.

If I plan to eat, I eat a lot.

You eat a lot and yet you don't gain weight. You're just full of luck.

- Aren't you hands cold? - It's refreshing.

I can't even wash my face with cold water.

What about you? What will you do?

- I'll take you home today. - For real?

Come on, get in.

Two please.

Migyeong.

Get up. Let's get off.

Yeah.

It's my neighborhood.

It's cold.

How did you know that this was my stop?

I looked into it to take you home.

My home?

Taking you home was something I hadn't done for you before.

You're making me feel bad.

Let's go.

Did you find out my address through the hospital?

Yeah...

The houses here are nice.

Let's talk about something as we walk.

The neighborhood's too quiet.

That's true.

You've been walking these streets at night all by yourself?

The patrol guards go around often so it's okay.

Make sure you take your car from now on.

And don't take the bus. Got that?

Wait.

Lee Sangu, why are you doing this?

What?

Something's strange...

You thought of taking me home without a thought.

And you're telling me to travel by car...

It's not like you.

Why?

Does it seem like I went out with you after I knew who you really were?

Stop kidding around.

I won't have that kind of misunderstanding.

What are you thinking right now?

I'm thinking what you're thinking.

The thought that you're hoping isn't true.

The thing you're hoping for isn't real.

Sangu...

Let's...

Let's break up.
