12 YEARS PROMISE

EPISODE 23

What?

Is Da-hae okay?

She seems to be okay. I just talked with Jun-seong.

Do you have something more to say?

I heard from your uncle that you have a crush on someone.

Aren't you too old for one sided love?

Mom, I have an important thing to do at work today.

They'll kick me out if I don't do well.

Who is she? Can you just tell me her name?

Jang Dal-lae.

Dal-lae?

-I'll get going. -Oh okay.

-Take care. -Okay.

I have a lot to say to you, but I'll stop here.

What is it?

He says it's Dal-lae. Jang Dal-lae.

What?

The lady who Jun-su likes.

As in dallae the plant?

Don't you think her name is quite dowdy.

I like it.

I don't.

Oh Jun-seong, what brought you here so early?

Good morning. Where's Da-hae?

She's sleeping.

I'll give her some medicine.

She didn't eat yet.

I got some porridge too.

-Okay, go in. -Okay.

How's the hospital?

If you're so worried, wake up now.

I brought some porridge and medicine.

Okay, you can go now.

Let's go together.

Stop bothering me and go.

Why are you acting so rude to Jun-seong?

It's okay, Mother.

I have a better personality, so I'm fine.

Thank you. You didn't have breakfast too, right?

Not yet, Mother.

Come out with her. Let's eat together.

Okay.

Wake up now. Didn't you hear your mother?

Don't call her Mother. She's not your mother.

How can you say that so easily?

I'll treat her as my mother then.

Stop it.

They've asked you to come.

Come in.

Did you want to see me?

Yeah, right. You don't have to go greet Mr. Woo.

What do you mean?

Mr. Woo asked us to have Yu Jun-su

to meet him at the airport.

I've already told you but Dal-lae is in charge of this.

It doesn't make sense if she doesn't go.

I'll go with her.

Oh my god!

Your clothes make you shine.

It really does.

Let's buy some more.

Can you stop pretending you can't speak?

I think this is good enough.

You should get some more. You look great.

Il-suk gave me a lot of money too.

I'm really okay.

Hey, I'm not coming here with you again. You should buy more now.

Are there dresses that I can wear?

Of course there are, you should look over here.

Oh, okay.

Why did Mr. Woo want you to meet him at the airport?

Well, maybe there was a mistake?

Hello.

I'm at your department store, Dal-lae.

Oh shoot, I'm on my way to the airport to greet some guests.

Oh, okay. You must be busy.

No, we're here for shop, but we're almost done.

Don't worry. Okay, see you back home.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Who's Azelia?

-Oh, that's Dal-lae's nick name. -I see.

Aren't you hungry? Should we get something to eat?

You go eat dinner with Hun.

What?

You look great in that dress. Go impress Hun.

And men are very sensitive on eye contact and touching.

Yeah, that's how you do it.

You should also be coy in front of Hun.

Act innocent,

get him with your eyes

and then go on to touching. Use those three steps, okay?

If you want to catch a tiger, you should go into the tiger's den.

Okay.

GAON DALLAE DUMPLINGS

What is this?

CEO Choi Go-sun's story.

Recipe for meat dumplings

Recipe for kimchi dumplings

I've dropped her off to Hun.

I bought something for you too.

What is it? What's all this?

Look at this.

This is about you.

"Secret recipe for dumpling skin and stuffing. Dallae Dumplings."

"A fresh wave in the dumpling industry. CEO Choi Go-sun."

What's with all this?

What're you saying?

She's been collecting recipes and stories about me.

Don't you feel frightened looking at this?

Oh, I think she's highly commendable.

Mom, she had it all planned.

When she followed Hun and wanted to work in our place,

she had it all planned in advance.

Planned? What did she plan?

She knew all about our history and came in with a purpose.

Are you concerned just because of this?

Only you and I know the recipe for Dallae's dumplings.

She has a purpose.

What are you going to do if she takes our recipe elsewhere?

What if she opens up a dumpling place herself?

That's why Hun should marry her.

He's my son, could you stop talking about that marriage?

Come on, stop it Go-sun. Calm down--

Don't think Hun will do as you say just because he came back.

Don't do anything to Ham Cho.

She knows exactly where she wants to go.

This is the proof.

She's going to stay with me from today.

As you said before, it's my house.

Why is she calling me out?

Why is she coming all the way to my work? Gosh.

What is it?

Buy me dinner, Hun.

What are you talking about?

What are you up to?

Go home, before I get angry.

I want to eat dinner with you.

I'm busy today.

What is this?

I'll wait till you're done.

Oh my god.

Dressing differently don't change a person.

What a dowdy style.

Let me go.

But it's actually better than when you wear pants.

I see you're a girl now.

MILANO 5:41 P.M.

Are you Yu Jun-su?

Yes, I'm Yu Jun-su.

Are you the one who sent us that lousy invitation?

Invitation?

I feel a bit bad hearing it was lousy since I did my best.

Welcome.

I'm Jang Dal-lae, leading this project.

Let's talk more in the car.

Where are we going?

We set up a schedule for you.

Let's eat first.

I departed early so I'm hungry.

Okay. Eating should always come first.

Let's change the schedule a little. Let's eat first.

Ms. Kang,

we'll be having dinner first so stand by.

-What is she saying? -Is she coming?

There's a little change in our plan.

They'll be having dinner first,

so let's go get some food and we can stand by afterwards.

-Okay. -Let's go eat.

Oh I'm getting anemia. Buy me some beef.

-Mr. Park. -Beef, beef!

-Enjoy your meal. -Thank you.

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Jang Dal-lae.

I'm Jang Woo.

Haven't we met before?

We were thinking that you may be Chinese since your last name was Woo.

I'm Jang Woo. Jang Woo from way back.

Trial exam.

Jun-seong...

Oh that Jang Woo from Myeongseong high school?

How have you been?

Great.

Miss Jang Dal-lae.

Yes?

Can you excuse us for a minute?

Do you want me to leave you two alone?

I have something to talk about with Yu Jun-su.

Can you excuse us for a minute?

Oh okay.

It's been a while.

To be honest, I came here because of you.

It was 12 years ago. You should have forgotten it already.

This is unofficial, you don't have to treat me like that.

You haven't changed.

People die when they change.

You've turned out great.

It sound like you're saying that a punk turned out pretty good.

This is fate. You should open a shop in our department store.

I'll have to see if this fate is a good one or not.

What do you mean?

Let me ask first?

What happened to Jang Guk?

What?

Didn't you hear?

Why are you asking me?

I want to find her.

Why?

Do you know her whereabouts or not?

Oh, you don't know.

Why are you looking for her?

I just want to.

Hey. Hey, wake up.

Guk, Guk!

Jang Woo, take me to the hospital?

Okay, let's go.

Why did it have to rain so heavy that day?

It did? I don't remember.

Do you know how it feels getting beaten up on a rainy day?

What do you mean? It was just one punch.

You want to go at it again?

Oh, Ms. Jang.

We were about to call you.

Mr. Woo.

I'll explain what's scheduled after dinner.

Schedule?

I'm sure you're tired, but first we'll head over to--

I'm not interested in opening up a store in HK.

What do you mean?

Don't you understand Korean?

Didn't you accept the invitation from our department store?

I've rejected the invitation you've sent.

But I came here because of this guy, Yu Jun-su.

What does this mean?

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JEONG

Yes, sir.

I don't think we can go back to the department store today.

Yes, I'll try to adjust the schedule to tomorrow.

Okay.

So as Sam-suk told me,

I was touching him like this and asked him to buy me dinner.

And what happened?

I got rejected from Hun right away.

Then why do you look so happy?

I am happy.

I've never worn clothes this pretty before.

Why doesn't he recognize such a great girl?

And why do you like him?

Don't worry. It's just the beginning.

I want to go till the end.

What about lunch? Did you eat?

Yeah, I'm so hungry.

Let's go eat.

What are you going to buy me?

Did you do this to him? That's why it didn't work out.

What do you mean?

Where is he?

Where is he?

-Where's Professor Yu Su-han? -I don't know.

Do you know Professor Yu Su-han?

Do we have a professor named Yu Su-han?

Do you know where Professor Yu Su-han is?

I don't think he teaches here.

Don't you know Yu Su-han?

What are you doing?

Excuse me, where's Professor Yu Su-han?

He went home after his lecture today.

What?

Did he stand me up?

What should I do? I don't even know his number.

I don't feel like eating.

You didn't eat at all today.

Don't be childish.

Not eating because you got dumped is more childish.

Can't you speak more politely?

If you don't want me talking like this, hit me after eating this.

Please shove this in your mouth.

You little... Did you just say shove?

This is great.

Are you a fool?

What?

Why are you doing this to yourself?

What do you mean?

Why are you following someone when he doesn't even think about you?

Dogs are like that.

Hey, shut up!

Finally you sound like the Ju Da-hae that I know.

Shout and throw things to him if you're mad.

Hey, Yu Jun-seong.

What, Ju Da-hae?

Dr. Ju!

The professor is looking for you urgently.

You rascal.

What a fool.

Don't you have to follow her?

Hey, you can eat this.

Great.

This is not like you. What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

Who do you think you are?

Absence without notice and cancelling the conference.

Why didn't you even come to me to explain?

I'm sorry.

I don't want to see your face. Get out!

I'm sorry.

Oh my god.

-Hope you have a great time. -Thank you.

Good night.

I'll give you a call.

Ms. Jang.

What on earth did you do to Jang Woo?

What's this invitation, and why isn't he interested in opening his store?

What did you talk about when I was gone?

Why can't you tell me?

I've sent him an invitation again for him to come.

How can you do that?

Who do you think you are doing that for me?

I'm sure you know.

And why does he want to see you?

It's personal matters.

We had some issues in the past.

I'm not interested in your personal matters,

but how can you reach out to my buyer, without even asking?

Are you always that nosy?

No, it was because of you.

Dal-lae.

Dal-lae.

Jang Woo, you should just work if you're here to work.

And don't give Dal-lae a hard time.

Opening up your store is very important to her.

Answer me.

You've changed a lot. You were actually very quiet.

Why are you bringing up the past?

And if looking for Jang Guk is your personal interest,

don't relate it with work.

He's here for Yu Jun-su.

What does that mean, Jang Woo?

Sir, can you turn the car back?

Why don't you eat rice?

I wanted ramen.

Oh the smell is so good.

Hey, give me some. You should give me some first.

Oh, this is hot.

Why are you so depressed?

I got hit from my back today.

-From whom? -A friend.

He didn't seem like he'd break a promise, but he did.

Then don't hang out with him.

He's cute.

Then don't be mad about it.

Never mind. I'll make sure he flips over.

What kind of a friend is he?

A really smart friend.

Learn from that friend then.

I'm not going to study. I'm going to sing.

When's your audition?

Why do you want to know?

Come to the department store.

-No. -Why not?

I get mad since there are so many things I want to buy.

I'll buy you clothes.

What are you saying?

I'll buy you clothes for your audition.

Really?

-Mu-cheol! -Hey, stop it.

-Mu-cheol! -Oh come on, let me go.

-Are you that happy? -Yes.

Should I study also?

Of course you have to study. Oh this is great.

Stop it.

Excuse me. I'm sorry but can you close that window?

Thank you.

My treasure. I feel full when I see this.

There's going to be buildings coming in. What a great treasure.

If it all turns out great... Oh Pyeong Beom-suk,

you don't even know about this and picking on me all the time.

Life is long you know.

Jeong-han.

Why did you come again? I was happy without you.

I'll buy this time.

Stop that nonsense and buy Hong dinner.

How was day care Hong?

It was good.

Glad to hear you liked it.

Oh you had a customer.

Cheol-su? Da-hae's dad?

Oh my god...

Why do things get tougher and tougher?

What is this? Are you really Cheol-su?

Beom-suk.

But wait, how can this happen?

Did you try to trick me and was in touch with this guy all along?

No, it's not like that. We weren't in touch.

He came back to Korea recently.

But he told me not to tell you.

Wow, this is scary.

How can you do this?

Daddy.

Oh Hong, don't cry. Poor kid.

Oh my, that's the kid from the last time.

Don't blame it on him.

It happens if you live with someone for couple of years--

Yu Jeong-han!

Oh gosh.

Why are you shouting?

Oh my god.

What should I do? I should call Yeong-hui right now and--

No. You can't do that now.

No? Why not? You're here right in front of me.

I had some issues.

Issues? Oh my god. I can't believe this.

Honey, just--

Be quiet.

How could you be so sly like this?

See? I told you she'll kill me if she finds out.

It's not his fault. I told him not to tell you.

It's totally my fault, Beom-suk.

Gosh! Are you guys serious?

Ju Cheol-su! You know how Yeong-hui has been living?

Yes, Mr. Heo.

Mr. Heo.

Yeong-hui.

Please sit down.

You've drunk quite a bit. I'll take you home.

What are you saying? Let me get you something to drink.

Hey there.

Well then I'll have juice. Fruit juice.

Juice? Isn't that for kids?

What have you been up to?

You haven't been visiting the shop recently, and I was worried.

Oh whatever.

I really like you.

There was a woman that looked just like you.

Me? She looked like me?

She was humble, soft and cried a lot.

But some bastard conned her and ran away.

Oh my god, what happened then?

She must have lost all her wealth.

Did she catch the bastard?

Oh sorry, this kind of thing makes me so mad.

He ran away.

Well, I caught him today, but he was someone else.

Oh my god.

Is that why you're so drunk?

What?

I'm not drunk.

Mr. Heo.

Se-min.

He must have been really distressed.

Oh, my.

Wow, this tastes great.

Mr. Heo.

Se-min? Se-min, let's go.

We should go now.

He's not answering the phone.

What's the room number?

Wait a sec.

Wait a sec.

What is this?

No.

It wasn't meant to be that way. Money is always the problem.

Oh that money...

All about that money...

I'm sorry.

Money...

Hey.

It's hers.

Who is it?

I had something to tell you.

I tried to call from the front desk but you didn't answer.

Come in.

I'll wait in the lobby.

What did you want to say?

Please wait till I change.

You're even prettier.

What was it?

What did you want to say?

Can you give it a second thought?

What're you saying?

You said you're not interested in opening your shop in our department store.

Can you give it a second thought?

And we wish you can come to the tour tomorrow.

Okay.

What?

I'll go.

Really?

Give me your number. I'll call you.

GAON DALLAE DUMPLINGS

She's done a great job here.

Does she think I'll leave it alone?

What am I going to do?

What should I do?

Don't let Yeong-hui know.

I can't, even if I wanted to.

Did you two fight?

Yes.

Great.

It's not a good idea to get involved in this.

But honey.

My mouth is so itchy. I'd like to tell her.

-You want me to scratch there? -Oh god.

Then do I just let her get a divorce?

Is it really on going?

Yeah, she submitted the papers a long time ago.

She can't get a divorce.

Why not?

How is that possible when Da-hae's dad is in Korea?

It's now clear that he's alive.

Really? Then they can't get a divorce?

Of course not.

-I'll get going. -Bye, honey.

Who's calling me?

Hello?

Good morning. I must have woken you up.

Not at all, it's time I woke up.

How're you feeling?

I'm dying.

You must be.

I can't make you hangover soup, but I really wish I could.

Try to eat something before you go to work.

Okay, thanks for taking care of me.

Just thank you?

Of course not, I should pay you back for this.

Oh, I feel full already.

I didn't make any mistakes, did I?

What kind of woman are you?

Maybe I'm not a woman.

I'm sure you're a woman.

What a relief that you consider me a woman.

You were a woman from the beginning for me.

Stop playing with me.

I'm not playing with you.

I hate you as much as I liked your brother, okay?

I'm tired, and it's awkward. Get away.

And don't bring me things like this.

Yeah, that's more like you this way.

Mr. Yu, we have an emergency. We'll have the tour today.

What do you mean?

Ms. Jang will be bringing him.

And I heard that he's Korean.

Why didn't she even call?

I don't know. I'm too busy now.

-What are you doing? -Be right there.

Do you know when they will be arriving?

I don't know. I'm sorry.

Do you know me?

No, I don't.

Why did you want me to open the store, if you don't even know me?

I was interested in your brand when I was studying abroad.

Abroad? Where?

In the US.

I'll tell you about today's schedule.

You'll have lunch with our executive director after the live tour,

and then, we'll be sharing the vision--

Can I just talk with you?

What?

Whatever it is, I just want to talk with you. You said you were in charge.

I don't want to hear HK's vision.

It's been a while since I was in Korea, so there are some places I want to visit.

Would you come with me?

Of course.

Thanks.

Are they here yet? Sorry.

-Why are you so late? -I'm sorry.

They're on the elevator.

Welcome to HK department store.

I'm Jang Woo from the Mr. Woo crew.

Welcome Mr. Woo. Or is it Mr. Jang?

Whatever you want to call me.

Welcome.

He's really Korean.

Let's first follow our prepared schedule.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Why doesn't he have a shop in Korea, if he's Korean?

Be quiet.

We now have 193 stores from first to sixth floor.

The seventh floor has dining places

and menswear is located on the fourth floor.

We'll be preparing whatever location you prefer.

Let's first visit the location we had in mind.

It's this way.

Do you know about Mr. Woo's fashion concept?

It's special life.

Do you think HK can accept our concept and attract customers?

Our department store is trying to pursue specialization and gentrification.

That's why we need Mr. Woo.

We'll try to adjust to whatever you request.

We ask for quite a lot.

Will HK be able to adjust to all we ask?

We're willing to adjust to whatever you want.

Let's go see other place as well.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

-Gosh, I'm exhausted. -Me too.

Is he going to open his store or not?

It's all up to him.

Why is he boasting so much?

It's understandable. Their brand value is 70 million dollars.

It had also been selected as one of the top three brands

in the menswear category.

I wrote that report. Why are you repeating to me?

You wrote that? I don't remember where I read it.

Didn't you know? Okay, okay.

I just don't remember where I read it.

Okay, okay, okay.

Well, the concept doesn't seem to fit well with our brand.

Ms. Jang Dal-lae has a lot of experience as an MD

at Crystal New York Department Store.

You can trust her.

Really?

Then let me discuss it with her.

We have made reservations at the restaurant in our department store.

I don't like such lunch meetings.

If you don't mind, I'd like to talk with Ms. Jang--

Why don't you do that after we... eat?

Please.

Actually it's not my first time meeting Mr. Yu.

Oh really?

That's why you were looking for Mr. Yu.

Yes.

He guided me the right way when I was not studying.

This is not a good time for that.

What?

Is it inappropriate to eat lunch with the one in charge, sir?

Okay. Go ahead, Ms. Jang.

Let's go.

Hope you have a positive answer.

We'll review your proposal positively.

It's not going to work.

What?

I bought Ham-cho some clothes and sent her along to Hun,

but she got rejected.

They were both late.

But they weren't together.

Are you okay?

We can't be full with the first scoop.

It's not about eating.

What should we do now?

I told you I'll be taking care of Ham-cho.

Hello.

What are you doing?

I'm working now.

What are you good at?

What do you mean?

What dish are you good at making?

Oh my, it's going to take all day.

Actually you don't have to answer, but prepare me some dinner by seven.

Dinner?

What's going on?

He asked me to make dinner.

Who? Hun?

Do what he wants.

Is it really okay?

Yes.

And...

the things in my room...

Things in your room?

Oh, the secret investigation you were doing?

It's not what you think. I just wanted to help.

Trust me.

I'll trust you if you leave the house.

What a cheap guy.

What is taking them so long?

Are they having dinner too?

What's wrong?

You don't understand?

If he's here for work, he should just work.

Eating with the buyer is work.

What?

You're overreacting.

I'm not overreacting. That guy is Jang Woo.

You told me already.

You're not surprised?

What should I do then? Jump with excitement?

He told me that he's here because of me.

He's not interested in opening a store.

What do you mean?

Didn't he accept Ms. Jang's invitation?

No. His target is me.

He came here to see if I know about Jang Guk.

Why does he want to know that?

How should I know?

Are you worried that he might tell Dal-lae about Jang Guk?

I should be the one telling her.

Don't you know what I'm saying?

If someone has to tell Dal-lae about Guk, it should be me.

I'll do it, sir.

Speak comfortably.

Aren't I younger than you?

We don't know anything about you.

There were rumors that you were 80.

At the last New York collection--

Can't we stop talking about work when we're eating?

Oh, sorry.

When did you go to the US?

When I was a senior.

I went to Italy at the same age.

Our family is kind of messed up.

I see.

I wandered a lot when I was here.

I met a woman then.

I came here because I wanted to see her.

You must've liked her.

Yes. She was older than me.

Guk.

Her name was Jang Guk.

Which Jang are you?

What?

You're Jang Dal-lae.

Why do you even care?

It's important.

I'm Andong Jang.

I'm Indong Jang, so we're not from the same Jang.

Can we not talk about personal matters?

Okay.

But can we go somewhere?

Where do you want to go?

Dongdaemun, Namdaemun, Pyeonghwa Market and so on.

I'll have someone else help you. I don't know Seoul that well.

Don't you live here?

I've been gone for over 10 years, It must have changed a lot.

Well, actually... I don't know for sure.

What are you saying?

There are lots of things that I'm curious of.

Oh, you said you didn't know.

Then we can find out together.

Eat.

Oh my, what's all this?

Are you having a party or something?

I just wanted to make all the things Hun liked.

Good job.

It's great to have someone who cooks well.

Of course.

But why did he ask her to make dinner?

Are you done?

Yes.

Dal-lae said she would be late.

-Okay. -Hun must be here.

Come in, So-ra.

Hello.

Oh, you have such good manners.

But you don't have to say hi to her, she just works here.

Hi, Hun.

Oh, my.

Everybody, please pay attention.

Come here, So-ra.

She's my grandma there.

Hello.

And Grandma's sister, Jolie.

Hello, Jolie.

What are you doing?

And this is my mom.

Hello, Mother.

Wait, Hun. What are you doing?

Wait, give me a minute.

The reason I asked all of you to gather for dinner

is because I had something to tell you.

Go on then.

Okay, introduce yourself first.

I'm So-ra, Jung So-ra. Nice to meet you.

She's the one I'm getting married to.

Oh, Hun.

I'm very sorry Grandma,

but I should take responsibility for her.

Oh my god...

Hun!

As I was educated in this household, I must take responsibility.

Please allow me to marry her.

I love Hun. Please let us get married.

Ham-cho.

Oh my god. Oh, no!

-Mom! -What's wrong?

Grandma, Grandma!

12 YEARS PROMISE

Wake up, Il-suk.

You shouldn't go like this.

Cheol-su is in Korea.

Your husband is here in Korea.

What?

This is the neighborhood I used to live in.

-Where is your daddy? -Over there.

Over there?

Mr. Jang Woo.

What are you doing?

So you still hit on girls like before.

Did you drink? Are you crazy?

Do you want to screw all this up?

I've waited for you all day.

12 YEARS PROMISE
