12 YEARS PROMISE

LAST EPISODE

Ms. Jang.

Yes.

Ms. Jang Dal-lae.

Yes.

Jang Dal-lae.

You lied to me from the beginning.

What are you talking about?

You're not Jang Dal-lae.

You're Jang Guk.

So what?

Jang Guk.

You don't know my name? Why are you calling me like that?

Guk.

Even if you're right, nothing's going to change.

It doesn't matter if I'm Dal-lae or Guk. Nothing's going to change.

GAON DALLE DUMPLINGS

Why couldn't you sleep all night?

You're making me worried.

I met Jun-su's dad yesterday. He lives nearby.

Really? Nearby where?

I don't know the details, but he's running a real estate office.

So he was living nearby all along?

And Dal-lae didn't know about this?

What are you saying?

What? What did I say?

What do you mean Dal-lae didn't know?

I was just talking nonsense.

I don't know anything.

You think I don't know you?

Well actually, Il-suk.

Jun-su works at the same department store as Dal-lae.

He works at HK department store, too.

-Hey, hey. -Why, why, why?

The director's secretary said that Mr. Yu is going to resign.

-Mr. Yu? -Our Mr. Yu?

-Yes. -Oh my god, I can't believe it.

Hello Ms. Jang. Oh my, I can't believe it.

Did you hear anything? They say Mr. Yu is going to resign.

Who said that?

-It was Hyo-rim-- -Ms. Jang.

What happened to Mr. Yu?

Why is he resigning?

We heard it from the Director's secretary.

Didn't you hear anything?

It must be true then.

He's not someone who would do this without talking with us.

Or is it related with Mr. Woo?

Oh my, what are you doing to Ms. Jang?

Let's go, let's go.

This doesn't make sense. How can he resign?

Yes, Mu-cheol.

Is it true that Jun-su is going to resign?

I don't know for sure yet.

Don't you have anything to tell me?

Does it have something to do with you?

You know why he's doing this, right? You met him yesterday.

Mu-cheol.

I'm Jang Guk.

Oh my god, I have such a headache.

Is it because of your sister?

Oh, yes.

You want to be friends?

What?

And Jun-su found out?

Yes.

Really?

Hey, Jang Guk.

Mu-cheol.

I'm so mad about this, so imagine how Jun-su would feel.

It's hard for me too.

Jang Guk, I mean, Dal-lae.

You probably don't know, or maybe you had some reasons.

But Jun-su was devastated after you left.

As for me, it's the same for Da-hae too.

We all saw it and went through it.

Jun-su still suffers if we ever talk about you.

Do you realize how much he tried, to become what he is now?

Don't think it was just you that had a hard time.

Let's find Jun-su first.

You're not Jang Dal-lae. You're Jang Guk.

Did you find my uniform?

Oh gosh.

Something happened.

What do you mean?

Why did she have to hit that bike?

Who?

And then what?

I don't know.

I'm confused. Don't call me for a while.

Hey Eun-sil. Eun-sil!

What's up?

I know that you're Jang Guk.

Okay.

So Jun-su didn't know you're Jang Guk? And you used him?

What do you want to say?

Why did you come back?

Is it because of Jun-su?

No.

Don't give Jun-su a hard time anymore.

I don't have such intentions.

I heard from Mu-cheol,

that you helped Jun-su a lot when he was having a hard time.

Don't get me wrong. He was the one who helped me.

If Jun-su wasn't around, I couldn't have become a doctor.

Back then...

if it wasn't for that abortion,

would you have married Jun-su?

Well, does it even matter now?

It doesn't matter?

Actually, I didn't want to see you again.

Really?

I actually had something to say to you.

But I think I should stop here.

-Is that all? -Yes.

Where are you? Stop making me worry about you.

-Worry about yourself. -I'll go see you now.

No you shouldn't. Stay there at the hospital.

There's no reason for me to be here if you're not.

I'll just quit.

-Jun-seong. -I want to see a movie.

I'm having trouble recovering from the shock.

Okay then.

Really? You really mean it?

But you better get here right now before I change my mind.

Okay, okay. Where are you now?

Text me the address you're at. I'll go there right now.

Okay.

Jun-su.

Yu Jun-su.

It's Jang-Guk.

Let's meet and talk.

Did you know about it all from when you got the job offer?

No.

Then from when we first met?

Do you think I'm a joke?

No.

How do you think I felt when I first met you?

You think I was glad to meet you again?

So you pretended you didn't know and enjoyed yourself?

You must have thought I was an idiot.

You asked me why I didn't tell you.

You know why I left Korea?

You know why I couldn't say anything?

It's all because of you.

You were happy that I left.

All your problems were solved once I left!

After you left without leaving a word behind,

I couldn't reach you at all.

I couldn't stop you from leaving.

And I couldn't say I was sorry or anything I wanted to say.

You made it like that.

It would have been better if you forgot about it all.

You could have led a good life if we never met at all.

Guk.

What did I do wrong?

What on earth did I do wrong?

Why can't I still get you off my mind?

Sorry. I'm sorry.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I won't ever leave you alone again.

This...

I was just going to throw this away, but I couldn't.

I thought I should return this to you, when I see you again.

Guk.

Can't you come back to me again?

I don't want to let you go again.

What's wrong?

You didn't even watch the movie.

It's none of your business. Never mind.

I'm curious. Answer me now.

Leave me alone.

You're the only one for me.

Please don't like me.

I'm not the nice girl that you think I am.

It's not because you're a nice woman

that I love you.

It's because you are you.

It can be tough for you because of me.

You mean you don't want me to have a hard time?

That's a good thing then.

I should keep on going then.

It's not that easy.

It's not easy for me too.

Even so, I don't want to tell you.

Okay, then you don't have to.

But if anyone tries to do bad things to you,

I'm not going to let them get away with it.

So don't worry about anything and come back to where you were.

-Oh my, oh my. -Come out now.

Lead me to Ju Cheol-su's house.

I don't know.

Hey, are you going to keep on doing this to me?

You said you threw out the divorce paper and kicked him out.

I can't wait any longer.

I want to go up to him and stamp on the paper.

After I saw that bastard's face,

I'm getting even angrier, and it's driving me crazy.

-I don't know where he's at. -You don't?

I know all about it.

That your husband got a place for him.

If you don't tell me, I'm going to the real estate office.

Okay, I'll do it that way.

-Fine! -Hey, Yeong-hui.

Show me where he is right now.

Anyone there?

Hello?

Ma'am.

Oh, kid.

So you're...

Hello.

Oh, okay. Where's your dad?

Dad? He's out for work.

Dad? What are you talking about?

Oh my. He's your husband's kid.

What?

Ju Cheol-su got a kid with that bitch?

-Calm down. He's a kid. -Calm down?

They say that even the Buddha will turn his back for the child.

How can I calm down?

Don't cry. See, he's crying.

I don't care.

It's okay, kid. Don't cry.

Aunt is just very angry. Don't cry.

Aunt?

Why?

Aunt?

You're driving me nuts.

Hey, you're the idiot, not me.

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Da-hae.

Oh my god.

So it was true they went broke. He's living like a refugee.

It's not fair if he didn't go broke.

Oh my god. I don't care. I'm thirsty.

Oh, how nice of you.

You prepared water for your aunt?

Can you stop calling me that?

How cute.

Hey, Da-hae.

What? Okay.

Hold on to your dad.

Hey, what are you saying?

Ju Cheol-su went to see Da-hae.

Yeong-hui.

Don't worry and keep your door closed okay?

So cute. Hey Yeong-hui, let's go together.

Bye. Hey Yeong-hui. I'll go with you.

Before we open Mr. Woo's store,

we'd like to keep the dynamic spirit in our store.

Why don't we use a scarf or some props?

Oh, Mr. Yu.

I'll wait outside if you guys were in the middle of a meeting.

What're you saying? We were waiting for you.

Did you talk with the director?

Yes. Thanks to you.

You decided to come back?

That's why he's here. Right Mr. Yu?

I couldn't go while leaving behind Ms. Jang alone.

-Oh my. -Are you guys going out?

Da-hae.

Da-hae, you must have some misunderstandings about me.

What?

When I came back to Korea, well even last time, I came to see you.

I was just so ashamed with myself.

I didn't mean it.

I understand why you're treating me like this.

If you do, leave me alone.

I met your mom.

I don't want to know.

She wants to get divorced, but that doesn't solve anything.

I don't have anything to say. Talk with Mom.

Da-hae. I'm really sorry. From now on, I'll...

I'll really...

Ju Cheol-su.

I got you.

Come here. How can you? How can you do this to us?

-How can you? How? -Mom. Mom!

Da-hae, Da-hae.

What are you doing?

Oh my, this is crazy.

Da-hae, that guy even has a kid.

Did you see Hong?

Yes, I did.

I saw him with my eyes.

The one who looks just like you You bastard!

You threw us away, and came back with a kid?

You came here to see Da-hae after all that?

Hong didn't do anything wrong.

Hey!

Stop it, Mom. You're at my hospital.

Go back.

And Mom's not going to change her mind,

so if you're really sorry, do as she wants.

Did you see that?

She's my daughter.

She's not your daughter, but my daughter!

She's my precious daughter. Don't touch her.

You go back and live with your son.

You bastard. You don't deserve to live.

Oh my god. What should I do? This is so crazy, Da-hae.

How could he come back with a kid?

If you're getting a divorce, you shouldn't do this.

It's a waste of energy being angry about Dad.

You're right, you're right. You're totally right.

I should calm down. I should get a grip.

Where should I find this little girl?

Wow, this hospital is huge.

How's Dad?

-He's getting better. -He'll be even better.

I'll see you later.

I'll see you at 4:00 p.m.

Oh? Ham-cho.

Ham-cho.

It's you, Kang Ham-cho!

Ham-cho, Kang Ham-cho. Hey! Huh? I'm here.

I'm Hun. Hey there.

Ham-cho, Ham-cho. Let's talk for a minute.

Ham-cho.

Why are you following me?

I'm here to see you.

Don't follow me.

I have something to tell you.

I don't have anything to say.

Just listen to me.

No. You said I'm just a maid.

Are you here because there's no one to do your laundry?

-It's not that. -If not that,

is it because there's no one to make you ramen?

Yes.

No, it's not that. I'm saying you quit so suddenly.

And this is an inappropriate way to part.

If you quit,

then you shouldn't just step away like that.

You should get your severance pay and unemployment pay.

I don't need that. Go back.

Wait, wait.

Hello, Mom.

Hey Kang Ham-cho. Ham-cho!

Where are you?

I'm here with Ham-cho.

Are you crazy?

What are you doing there?

I'm here because I felt bad.

Why are you feeling bad?

No, It's strange for me too.

I don't know why I'm doing this.

Stop acting crazy and come back.

Wait a minute.

Hun.

You're busy because Ham-cho is not around.

Isn't it good for you if Ham-cho comes back?

Oh well. Talk to you later.

Oh, where did this little girl go again?

Gosh.

Hun, Hun.

Can you check on this?

What's wrong? Is something going on?

Did Mom tell Hun where Ham-cho is?

Hun kept asking last night.

I really don't understand why he's bringing this up again.

I thought it was over.

I'm already busy as it is.

Don't say that.

Being busy is a good thing for us.

You know how much we put in to this. We deserve it.

How can you say such a thing at your age?

Do you really think that things go the way you want?

Take Jun-su's family for example.

They went broke and now, they're running a real estate office.

They have a real estate office way up there. Imagine how tough it'd be!

What did you just say?

What?

What are you talking about?

What does Yu Jun-su's dad do?

Oh my god. My mistake.

Aunt!

Il-suk told me not to tell you.

How did Mom know?

She met Jun-su's dad.

Why didn't you take a nap if you're bored?

Why did you have to go all the way up there?

Is it my fault? It's all because of you.

Why? What happened?

Never mind. It's none of your business.

And don't get involved with Yeong-hui.

How can I?

She's mad that we helped her husband rent a place.

It's not right for us to get involved.

Didn't you say that it was your friend so we can't just idly stand by?

Why did you change your mind?

Oh, she lives here.

Who?

Dallae Dumplings.

It's her family's place.

What? Who?

Dallae Dumplings? The one by the main road?

Ham-cho used to work there.

Do you know that place?

Yeah, the dumplings I bought the last time was from there.

Really?

That dumpling place is Jang Guk's.

Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

What are you talking about? That Dallae Dumplings place is what?

So that Dallae Dumplings place, by the main road

is run by the girl's family who Jun-su liked at high-school.

It's Jang Guk's place, Beom-suk.

What on earth are you talking about?

Oh my, they say the beacon does not shine on its own base.

I really didn't know this was your house.

I should have known right away.

I now feel betrayed all of a sudden.

What?

So you weren't going to tell me if I didn't know?

Sorry.

Guk.

The fact that you're standing here in front of me.

You'll never know how glad I am.

Dallae Dumplings?

Is this the place that woman's family runs?

Jun-su.

Mom.

What are you doing here?

Who is she?

Hello.

I'm Jang...

Dal-lae.

Dal-lae?

Dal-lae.

What are you doing there?

Mom.

Who are these people?

Mom.

Am I really your mom?

How can you lie to me like that?

I wasn't lying.

I saw Yu Jun-su with my own eyes

and you're saying you weren't lying to me?

Mom.

You know who Dal-lae is meeting?

I know.

Dal-lae actually met Jun-su right after she got scouted to HK.

Jolly.

Dal-lae, it's time for you to speak up now.

It's your fate after all.

So all of you were lying to me all along?

I knew you would act like this. How could I tell you?

Dal-lae, I can explain. I met Jun-su's dad yesterday.

I actually told her by mistake.

He was sincerely sorry for what happened.

It's not something that can go away by just saying he's sorry.

It changed all of our lives.

Then what are we supposed to do now?

Wasn't it you that tried so hard to forget about everything?

I can't do that.

The frustration I had felt was worse than dying.

I would have killed myself if it wasn't for Hun.

Did you know that, Mom?

What about Jun-su's dad?

Did someone do something wrong without letting me know?

Come on! What are you saying?

She met him by coincidence.

I understand you acting this way. But the kids cannot help it.

What are you trying to say?

They're grownups.

Jun-su and Dal-lae like each other so much.

What more can we say?

Like? You speak for yourself.

Do you still like Yu Jun-su?

Yes.

Why the heck would you?

Why do you have to like such guy?

Mom.

Why on earth do you have to like him?

His family went broke now.

It's not something they can control.

You're crazy.

Everyone has gone mad.

They're all quite crazy.

Is Jang Dal-lae, Jang Guk?

Yes.

Did you know?

No, I really didn't know Dal-lae was Jang Guk.

Oh my god.

What did you do so wrong,

to be tied to that girl all your life?

That's why I'm not letting her go, ever again.

What?

Mom, Dad. I'm going to get married to Guk.

What? Marry her?

You must be joking. Never.

Wait a second.

Dal-lae, no I mean, Jang-guk. This is confusing.

Does she agree?

No, I didn't ask her yet.

Well, wake up from your dream then.

Mom, I'm not stepping back this time.

I couldn't help it back then, but it's different now.

Hey you idiot. Do you think her family would accept you?

I'm not sure how rich they are, but they were so arrogant.

You think that family will accept you?

I don't care.

I care. I can't take it if they disregard you.

You never know.

What are you saying?

Well, they're different.

-They had a kid-- -Hey!

Mom, it's not something to get mad about.

True, I don't have to get mad about this.

Her family will never accept you before I even start stopping you.

Well they can't stop if Jun-su is so confident about it.

Goodness. You guys really don't know reality.

Woman these days

and Moms who have daughters won't even care about such a past.

I'll wait till they allow me.

What an idiot, moron and a loser.

I don't know why I was so happy after I got you.

You want to wait till they allow you?

Is Jang Guk the only woman in this world?

Yes. For me, yes.

Hey, please stop Jun-su.

You're such a precious son of mine.

I like you very much too.

That's why I let her go when I was in high school to not make you sad.

But I can't this time, Mom.

Stop talking nonsense.

What you are saying doesn't make sense.

Just refusing outright without reason just doesn't make sense!

There are great women all around.

I don't want any other woman.

I don't want her either.

Who? Dal-lae or her mom?

Both of them. I hate both of them.

Mom.

Absolutely no. No means no.

Phew, this isn't going to be easy.

This was expected. But you're still on my side right?

Nope.

-What? -She's my wife.

Don't give her a hard time, okay?

Okay.

DIVORCE PAPER

What are you doing, Dad?

Oh, you're awake.

Are we going somewhere?

Do you remember the woman that came to our place last time?

How do you like her?

She was pretty.

Right? You think so too, right?

Let's go to her place.

Let's get off here.

It's this house.

Let's see here.

Is she out already?

Wedding anniversary.

Yeong-hui's birthday.

Da-hae's birthday.

Zero, nine, zero, one.

-Bingo. -Be quiet.

-Wow. -Be quiet.

Hong, you shouldn't touch that. It'll break.

Da-hae. Honey.

Dad? She's not in here.

Okay, now you can live here with me.

Okay.

And since we should look good to that woman,

let's take a shower first.

-Okay. -It's over there.

Let's go.

Here.

What is that?

Feeling good, huh? You must be feeling good.

I envy you. I want to have a shower too.

I'll do it right after you.

What should I do?

Are you cold?

What?

Give it to me. I can do it myself.

What are you doing here?

Mom, what's all this?

Da-hae, the thing is...

I guess you didn't have breakfast yet. Were you on duty?

Dad.

-What's going on here? -I don't know.

Who knows if you don't know?

I just came back from the pharmacy, and they were here.

What are you doing? Get out.

Get out of here with your kid.

Get out, Ju Cheol-su.

I can't. I'm not going to. This is my house.

I can't get divorced. I don't want to break up.

Are you serious?

How can you say that with this kid?

I'm a woman.

I'm a woman too, you bastard!

What are you doing?

What are you doing right now?

I can't stay at this place anymore.

What?

I can't take this anymore.

What? What? Speak up.

Tell me when Dad and that kid leave the house.

I'm not coming back before that.

Don't do that Da-hae. What should I do then?

I'll make sure I kick him out.

Hong, go to her room for a minute.

Okay.

What are you going to do now?

Da-hae's out with her stuff.

She must've gone to her hospital.

And she's not getting married, since you're always tying her down.

Are you out of your mind?

No, I'm just concerned.

How can you be so shameless?

Leaving me alone is one thing,

but how can you not see your daughter for more than 10 years?

How can you do this to us?

That's why I'm doing this.

I'll try to make it up to you for the rest of my life.

You can tell me whatever you want, but please don't kick me out.

Give me a chance, honey.

Give me a chance to make it up to you and Da-hae.

You're driving me crazy.

Think about it. What do you have to lose?

You can kick me out later.

Why is god treating me like this? Huh?

Honey, help me.

Let me apologize, and give me a chance to live like a human being.

Please? Honey.

GEUMDEOK REAL ESTATE OFFICE

God, Dallae Dumplings.

What are you doing?

As a security guard, I can't let you out of my sight.

Thanks Mu-cheol.

Don't talk to me like that.

I'm getting goose bumps.

Can you do this when you two are alone?

Can you go away if you know?

Okay, I'm busy too. I'll go.

Bye.

-Go now. -Okay.

Were you okay yesterday?

Of course I wasn't.

Oh...

But you still made it to work today.

Am I a kid? That I can't come here because of my mom?

Oh, you're such a grown up now!

How about you?

I made her faint before I came here.

Why?

She lost her mind after I said I'll marry you.

I came out after that.

Stop joking.

I'm not joking.

Stop joking around with me.

I'm not joking around.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Aren't you here because you had something to say?

Did you know your son was meeting my daughter?

I found out yesterday.

And didn't you know for yourself that your daughter was meeting my son?

Even if it was before I pass away,

do you think I would've let something like that happen if I knew?

Who does he think he is

to like my daughter, Dal-lae?

You seem to be pretty proud of yourself. Who likes who?

I've raised my daughter with all my effort.

I'm pretty sure I told you I'd never let her marry into your family.

Why don't you hold on to her forever if she's so precious?

I'm thinking about that.

Then you don't have to come to me and talk to me like that.

Go take care of your daughter first.

It's not just me. You should take care of your son.

I wanted to make this clear.

I also have an expectation on who will be my daughter-in-law.

But she's below my expectations.

What? Below expectations?

This is nonsense.

You should know your place.

I remember that you're the one who told me not to brag about wealth back then.

And I want to make it clear too. Take care of your daughter.

Let's not go through what we did back then,

about having a baby or something.

I'll take care of my daughter.

Okay.

So you take care of your son.

Well,

I don't know what to do.

I can't follow him around 24 hours.

And I haven't seen any man who can reject a woman.

Are you bragging that you have a son?

You have a son too. You must know how I feel.

It's better than I thought. The air is fresh too.

Dad will like it.

Yes. He's doing good now.

Oh, when? When are you coming?

Well, let's see if we can make some time.

You're lying.

What are you doing now?

Just hit me.

Hit me till you're not angry any more.

I'm not going back.

Are you still mad?

Back then, I was angry since Grandma wanted me to get married so quickly.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Go back home first.

Are you coming to Seoul or not?

I'll think about it.

Is it because of my mom?

Then why?

Give me some time.

Till when?

Give me some time to think about it.

I can call you, right?

Yes.

I'm going back today but will come back again next week.

Next week, I'll see your dad too, okay?

Darn it.

Mom, Ham-cho is not coming back because of you. What are you going to do?

Quit talking nonsense.

I don't have time to think about that.

Stop that nonsense and come back home now.

Oh never mind. I'm not going back.

I'll go back when you ask Ham-cho to come back.

Okay, do as you want.

You and your sister shouldn't be doing this to me.

You know what I had to go through raising you two?

How could you two make me so upset over such a trivial thing?

What about my life? What about my life, you selfish kids?

Did you enjoy your meal?

-Yes, bye. -Bye and come again.

How was your meal?

Yes, thank you. It's eight dollars.

It tastes the same as before.

Before? Did you eat our dumplings before?

Yes. It's been more than ten years.

Oh really?

You came back because you couldn't forget the taste.

Yes, and this.

What's this?

Could you pass this to Choi Go-sun?

Do you know Go-sun?

Yes.

-Bye. -Oh, okay.

Bye.

Oh my, oh my. Oh, oh, oh. Oh my!

Aunt.

You startled me.

Why are you so startled?

Some guy was here and wanted me to give this to you.

I'm sorry that it took so long.

If Dad and his kid is at the house,

I'm not going back.

What are you talking about? What about me?

Then kick them out.

They won't budge!

You should come in first.

How can I sleep comfortably

when you're sleeping outside like that?

I need some time too.

Da-hae.

Stop it. I'm not going to change my mind.

Okay, okay. But promise me one thing.

You'll come back if your dad and his kid leave, right?

Yes, of course. Don't worry about me.

Just worry about yourself, okay?

How much do you have left?

I'm almost done. Where should I move this?

Just leave it there.

Are you a kid? How can you fight with your dad and run away from the house?

Since you're out already, should I move in here too?

Move the books now if you don't want to die.

Why not? It's scary for a woman to live alone.

-That again? -Okay, okay.

Oh, this room is so big.

-I told you to stop it! -Ouch! I got it!

Okay.

-Are you sorry? Are you sorry or not? -I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

-I'm really sorry. -Don't.

These are couple rings. What do you think?

They're pretty.

Do you like them?

Yes.

Listen to me carefully from now on.

I have one condition.

You should first agree to what I tell you now.

Then you can take this.

Tell me.

You should never run away from me again.

We should always discuss, and you can only run away if I allow it.

Okay. I have some too.

Okay, tell me.

You should never ever again meet a woman.

Not even a friend.

And you shouldn't show your smile to any woman besides me.

Hey, that's too much.

Really? Well then, that's too bad.

Okay.

I'll make sure I don't look at any other woman.

But can you let me smile?

I may have to smile in certain cases.

And it's okay to meet a woman if it's work related right?

You should discuss it with me first, and only after I allow it.

Okay. Then we'll put these rings on?

Yes.
