Original subtitles

I'll wait until next week You have until next week

If you don't want to see Ja-young get back with him

you'd better do it right this time

- I understand, so leave - You have until next week

Hyon-woo!

You were behind it all? You were this wicked?

You ordered Seung-jae to separate me and Ja-young...

How could you do that?

That's not what happened The thing is...

Hyon- woo! Let's talk I'll tell you everything

I heard you two talking so I don't need anymore excuses

No, it's not an excuse I'll tell you the truth

It's true that I asked Seung-jae

to break up you and Ja-young

I know what you're thinking

You have the right to misunderstand

Misunderstand, you say?

It's true that I promised him a job

if he dated Ja-young again

But that's because...

he wanted to start over with her

- You're lying to me till the end - I'm not

It's because I love you and Seung-jae loves Ja-young

He needed a better job to impress Ja-young

but when I refused, he threatened me...

So you orchestrated everything?

Without any regard for our feelings

for your own emotions you played with us?

I couldn't give up on you

You can't give up on Ja-young either

After you made Ja-young and I break up

what did you say to me? Start over with Ja-young?

That it pains you? Is there any honesty in you?

I wanted to impress you!

My doing PR for school and being a reporter...

it's all for you If I worked hard like Ja-young...

I thought that you'd feel differently about me

I did it for you

Stop it! I don't want to hear anymore lies!

They're not lies!

If you meddle in our relationship again

I won't tolerate it...

Hyon-woo! Please, make your sence!

Ja-young doesn't suit you Seung-jae is better!

- Why can't you see that? - I'll decide that

And don't ever come near me again!

Shin-hee

What happened? Hey! Why did you bring this?

Looks like she and Hyon- woo had a quarrel

Hello? This is Ja-young's house, right?

- She's not home? - She left this afternoon

I don't know where she went...

She didn't say where she was going

What happened? Did you two have a quarrel?

- Mom, would you leave? - What?

I'd like to be alone...

All right...

Hello? This is Shin-hee Is Ja-young there?

She's not home yet

- What time did she leave? - She left in the afternoon, why?

It's nothing...

- Give me extra - Of course!

No one's more generous than we are!

Take it!

Thank you! Come again!

- Eun-shil! - Ja-young!

How's business? Where's my brother?

He went to buy a fridge and other stuff for the store

- You came to see him? - No

Did your mom go somewhere?

This is why I had a part-time job...

She leaves the store to me and hardly comes in!

- What's up? - I'm going to Kang-neung tomorrow

- Kang-neung? - Yes, my aunt lives there...

I'm going to stay there during the break...

Let's close shop and go out

It's very important that I get in touch with Ja-young

I told you to try her pager! She's not back yet...

All right

To leave your number press 1 To leave a message press 2...

Ja-young, it's me Call me just once

I have something to tell you

Everything that's happened to me wasn't because of you

Shin-hee is responsible... So don't avoid me and please call

Great! Thank you!

You said you wanted to get away I guess things were tough!

I'm not... I'm going there to put my thoughts in order

That's whant I mean!

Not just about Hyon-woo but about myself, too

While going through this ordeal

I resented my life I wondered why I was born underprivileged

My parents worked hard...

In the past I resented my deceased father, too

The most important thing in my life is my dad, my mom and brother

I was fool to compare myself to Shin-hee and Hyon-woo and feel insufficient

You've become enlightened!

I'm not going to compare myself to other people and

become upset and get hurt again!

I'm going to succeed on my own!

It's hard enough to forget about Hyon-woo...

so why be so hard on yourself?

Will getting away make you forget Hyon-woo...

if you are there?

Who said I'm going to forget him? I'm not going to forget him

Then you're going to get back together?

Breaking up means forgetting?

I'm going to remember all the good times and

forget my foolish attachments

I'm going to drown my foolishness in the ocean...

Then I'll come back

What's wrong with you? Seeing you makes me nervous

- Why do you have foolish dreams? - Foolish dreams?

You're competent Even if you can't get a job right now...

can't you bide your time?

Until when? In this rotten world...

people at the bottom are prevented from moving up

That's because you want to go straight to the top

One step at a time...

Because we didn't have money...

my dad died without ever going to the hospital...

Because I didn't have money I entered technical high school...

Because I didn't have money I went to night school

And now, after I graduated...

I can't work for any company I want!

I'm worried you'll get hurt if you get too greedy...

It's too late to turn back...

Hello?

This is Shin-hee!

This is all your fault! If you hadn't raced over to fuss...

Don't accuse me!

You're the one who broke your promise!

With your qualifications...

the marketing department is out of reach, don't you know?

I know that, that's why I asked you

I do what you can't do and you do what I can't do...

I separated Hyon-woo and Ja-young

What does that matter now? It fell through!

So you won't keep your promise?

Did you think that I'd do you a favor

without gaining anything?

Shin-hee, you...!

- If you're sore, you take care of it - What?

You compromised with me because you love Ja-young!

Because you wanted to get her back...

you schemed with me!

Understand?

So start dating her again

Tell her you'll never give up on her

Make her afraid to see Hyon-woo again!

Why do I have to do that?

Then you want me to throw in the towel? I can't do that!

If I give up... you'll be down in the dumps again!

You're talking as if you're doing it for me

but if you need my help, ask politely...

You're the one who's desperate!

I can just go back to square one

I kept my end of the deal...

but a security and a warehouse manager...

Do I look like a wimp who'd trust you and jump at the chance?

You're not the type to be satisfied living in the dumps

- What more do you want? - What do you think I want?

Tell me, just what you want!

A job in marketing without fail this time That's what you want!

Do you want that in writing?

That's not enough this time!

You're leaving early tomorrow

- It's okay - Don't be stubborn!

- Take her to Gukyodong - Hey, I have money!

You're going away so this is the least I can do

Take care of yourself Call me!

Yes!

You don't give up, do you? She's not home yet

- What persistence - Who was it?

He must be chasing Ja-young he's called so many times

Is he the one who tapped on her window?

You should've told him off instead of being so courteous

He's someone's cherished son I can't mistreat him

But his voice said it all He was polite and respectful

- I doubt he's a delinquent! - Even so!

A man needs that much persistence to make it in life

Was that meant for me?

Be honest... Who's Jung Hyon-woo?

Why?

I got muscles on my arm from answering his calls all day!

- He called? - Yes

- Who is he? A boyfriend? - No...

I don't know what this is about...

but call him since he's so persistent

- Mom - Yes?

Don't tell anyone I'm going to Aunt's!

Why not?

I just want to rest by myself... So don't tell anyone

You're still up?

You were with Shin-hee all this time?

Good night...

I'm going to have a tasting event in front of the apartment complexes

and pass out fliers about deliveries!

I have good strategy!

Since you stopped with the baby talk after infancy...

this is the most useful thing you've said

Mom...

I have a good feeling about this

I dreamt that a clogged up pipe got cleared!

Really?

Her name is Eun-shil?

You're not bothering them while learning the business?

It'll only be for a few days...

And I'll be buying from them

so I'm a valuable customer! Absolutely, a big customer!

- You're leaving already? - Yes...

- You're not leaving? - I have to get ready

Assemblyman Lee's gotten busy so I'm busy, too

I'll be back!

- Say hello to Aunt... - Okay!

- Drive carefully - Take care!

Yes!

Since Ja-young's gone and you and Young-chul will be late...

I can stay out late and have fun

Where?

There's a reunion at our old neighborhood

You'll be marching all day...

so have some hot honey tea before you go

You'll have to get fit yourself

That's why I switched from dieting to fitness

You know that you're accompanying us to Namdaemun

Of course I do I've already picked out my outfit

- Don't dress too loudly! - Don't worry!

I know how to dress for the occasion

- Is there anything we can do? - Just wait a bit

I'll be giving you an assignment soon

so don't complain later!

Are you doing a good job as a reporter?

Yes...

- Can I trust you? - Of course

She gets so many calls from producers

It's a relief then...

Hello? It's you again... Ja-young's not here

I'm sorry, but if she's home... may I please speak to her?

She's really not home She went to the country

The country...? When?

She just left...

How is she getting there?

It's in Kangneung, so a bus...

Ja-young, I'm on my way to the terminal

Please wait for me!

Seoul - Kangneung

- Don't you go to work? - I will...

I'm really upset with Hyon-woo!

How can he just hand the painting to you?

After what we've done for them...

We help them avoid restructuring and financed the company

I'd better call his mom

Mom! Don't do that...

I did something cruel to Hyon-woo

- You did? What did you do? - Never mind

If you're that upset... quit your reporting job

You don't need it

Mom, I'm never going to quit... so stop telling me to!

I thought it was too tough...

Am I a fool who can't do anything if it's a bit tough?

Ja-young!

Shin-hee, what are you doing here?

- I came to see Ja-young - She went out

Already? When and who is she meeting?

She went to her aunt's She'll be there during the break

Is that right? Where's her aunt's house?

I don't know what's eating her...

but she begged me not to tell anybody

I doubt she meant me, too

I'm going on a trip with friends so if we have time, I want to stop by

Where is it?

It's a fishing village in Kangneung

It's not a nice place to visit There's nothing there!

Kangneung? Kangneung where?

Oh dear... Mrs. Lee...

She begged me not to tell anyone...

I don't even know the address

I just know that it's in Yeonkok Captain Hwang's house

- I see... I'll leave now - Take care!

What made her come down here?

If she came looking for Ja-young...

Hello? This is really important

Can't you give me the phone number?

Ja-young begged me not to tell anyone!

I have to go out now... so I'm going to hang up

Is it because your mom's not here? It's slow today

You have good days and bad days

In order to run a business... you can't let that bother you

How's that possible?

- Young- chul - Yeah?

Do you like pretty women or cute women?

I prefer cute women

Do you like tall women or short women?

Well... Short is preferable to tall

If a woman's too tall, it's gross

Then, do you like short, cute, and nice women...

or do you like tall, evil women?

- What are you doing? - Huh?

I'm just... testing your taste in women...

You should've said so in the first place

I have just one taste in women

- What's that? - Someone like Ja-young

If I meet a woman like her... I'll get married on the spot!

Thank you for calling! Hyon-woo!

I knew it...

She repays good with evil

Who got her into college? She got her into college and...

What are you talking about?

What happened was... The truth is

Ja-young stayed back a year because of Shin-hee...

She had to take the college exam for Shin-hee

At first, Shin-hee was afraid of being scolded by her father

because of her bad grades

so she asked Ja-young to show her the test answers

But what good is raising good grades?

The entrance exam is another story...

So Shin-hee's family asked her to take the proxy exam?

I think so Ja-young's family was in kind of a rut...

So she sacrificed herself...

She regretted doing that...

Had she refused from the beginning...

they wouldn't have asked her to take the proxy exam

No wonder their relationship seemed strained

How could it be good after what happened?

On top of that, you're involved

Not knowing it was Shin-hee's scheme

Ja-young had a hard time letting you go

Saying that she's no help to you, only harm

she left wishing you the best

She couldn't forget you but she couldn't be with you...

How tough it must've been

to make her practically run away

So you have to get her address

I have to tell her as soon as possible

You're not going to break up with her again?

If you're going to break her heart again

just leave her alone...

No, I'll never let her go I won't make that mistake again

Yeonkok in Kangneung...?

It's a fishing town in Kangneung

so search everywhere to find her

Find her with just a name of the village alone?

- You can in a few days - And if I find her?

She's in pain right now and Ionely...

so you can persuade her to come back to you

Even if she doesn't you have to confess your undying love

Tell her that all this transpired

because of your love for her

Fine! Whether I persuade her or threaten her

I'll make sure she doesn't get back with him

But that's all

That's the end of my part

Whatever happens between you and Hyon-woo afterwards...

- you have to keep your promise - I will

Team captain of marketing Don't forget that

If you screw me again...

I'll say that instigated by Assemblyman Lee's daughter

I filed a battery charge against Jaesung's son...

et cetera, et cetera

Articles tarnishing your father's mayoral campaign

will be plastered all over the papers

I get the picture...

so before Hyon-woo finds Ja-young... hit the road

All right!

Hey! Where have you been?

I guess you missed me

I made you thirty dollars while you were gone

Aren't I good?

- Young-chul - What?

Do you have your aunt's address where Ja-young is staying?

It's in Kangneung somewhere...

but I've only accompanied my folks so I don't know the address

Then ask your mom She must know

She's not home, she went out

- She did? - But why?

Then I'll go home with you later

If it's for the address I'll give it to you tomorrow

I have to know today... I want to say hi to your mom

Aunt! Aunt, it's me!

Ja-young!

- Aunt! - Hi!

- Is everything all right? - Yes!

- Wasn't it cold getting here? - No...

What's wrong with your face? You look frail

- I'm getting old - Sure, you're old. Very old

Where are Uncle and Hee-dong?

Uncle's at sea and Hee-dong has joined the army

That's right. Is he well?

Let's eat first You must be hungry

Not on your first day Who asked you to work?

- It's fun - Some fun!

You'll catch cold for sure Go inside!

Don't worry about me I like working out here

Did something unpleasant happen in Seoul?

No, why?

You're asking for a tutorial job and

you're working like there's no tomorrow

You said experiences are priceless

Roses, lilies, freesias and gerberas

Even in this cold winter weather

these beautiful flowers with pleasant fragrances

are blossoming as if it's spring

Flowers here are thirty percent below retail prices

and they'll deliver whenever you want

How about winning your love's heart today with some roses?

Reporting from Spring World I'm Lee Shin-hee!

Cut! Okay!

Shin-hee, you're a pro now

At a critical time like this how can you smile like that?

Reporting from Spring World I'm Lee Shin-hee

Cheer up. You're in this for the long haul If you get weak, you can't last

- Mess Shin! - Yes?

Have you seen the live show "Good Morning"?

Yes!

I have phon call from my junior in school

They need someone to do the weather

so the producer wants to see you...

- Really? - Yes!

That's great!

- Congratulations! - Thank you!

Should we take a picture? Let's take a picture!

Ready? One, two, three!

No engagement...? What are you saying?

It's over with Ja-young...

so why won't you get engaged to Shin-hee?

It's not over with Ja-young

We broke up over a misunderstanding but we're going to get back together

You haven't come to your senses yet

Have you forgotten what she put you through?

That's a misunderstanding Shin-hee caused

- Is that what that girl said? - Ja-young didn't do that

Park Seung-jae did that for Shin-hee!

What are you saying?

She's really terrible! How dare she blame Shin-hee?

My being locked up you seeing Ja-young with Seung-jae...

That was Shin-hee's scheming! Why won't you believe me?

I would if you made any sense

How did you find that out?

I heard Shin-hee talking to that guy...

So forget we ever talked about the engagement

I'm going to set the date with Shin-hee's mother

Prefore for that

Why are you ignoring my wishes?

Is business more important than my life?

How can you say that to me?

Because I came from an ordinary family...

you know how much I suffered

Even now, my in-laws look down on me

So if you do this

they'll say that you take after me!

So must you be stubborn?

Then you want me to marry Shin-hee for your sake?

Listen to him Why is that for me?

If it's not, don't do this!

I can't take this anymore!

Hyon-woo!

Then what will you do?

You're going to elope with her?

If you refuse to accept us... I plan to do that

What?

If you've lost your mind to some silly girl

- I don't need a son like you - Then I'll do as I wish

Hyon-woo!

Have a seat It's been so long

You haven't changed at all!

You must be aging backwards you look younger

Women...

What brings you here at this hour?

I'm sorry I came so late I had to close the shop

I came to get Ja-young's address

Ja-young's address?

I might go to a local hospital

Then I won't get to see Ja-young

- so I want to write to her - Really?

So many are asking for her address today

Who else asked you?

A desperate boy with a nice voice

- And today, even Shin-hee asked me - Shin-hee?

Let me look for it I must've wrote it down somewhere

- You're not cold? - No!

- Any fruits...? - Fruits? Want some?

You have good manners seeing a woman home

Don't be mistaken My mom asked me to do it!

- Lee Shin-hee - What do you want?

If you keep bothering Ja-young

I won't leave a strand of hair on your head!

What?

Don't mess around!

Roses, lilies, freesias and gerberas

Even in this cold winter weather

these beautiful flowers with pleasant fragrances

are blossoming as if it's spring

Flowers here are thirty percent below retail prices...

It's okay, it has everything

I'm sorry to impose like this...

Okay, I'll take good care of it! Thanks

- Hello? - You wrote it down?

I went out of my way to get it

so you have to go bring her back!

Now? It's so late!

It's dangerous to drive at night so go tomorrow!

Okay... Wait, Hello?

And don't call before you go

she might take off...

Okay, good luck!

- Are you nervous? - No...

Just be yourself, okay?

Is everything set? Good Get the reporter ready

Yes, she's ready Move the makeup case!

I got it!

Shin-hee, are you ready? Action!

Is everyone awake?

You'll have to brace yourself

before opening the window today

The temperature took a sudden dive last night

Perhaps you should wear a heavy coat

to work today...

- Excuse me - Yes?

Where is Yeonkok?

I've never heard of such a place...

Thanks...

Who are you?

Is this Ja-young's aunt's house?

I'm her aunt. Who are you?

Hello. I'm Ja-young's upperclassman Jung Hyon-woo

I came to see Ja-young

- She's not here right now - Pardon?

She went to get some air

Ja-young!

Ja-young!

Ja-young!

Lee Ja-young!

How did you find this place?

I always thought that I was a pretty swell guy

but I've been a fool...

I should've known it wasn't because of Seung-jae

lf, just one time, I thought of your eyes the first time we met

I wouldn't have believed that you liked me for my status...

What are you talking about?

I know why you're here I know why you left me!

My going to jail and getting written up in the paper...

that wasn't your fault!

You don't get to rest on your break You need to take some tonic

What time will you be done today?

- Before lunch? - Why?

If you're going abroad with Hyon-woo

we have to rush the engagement

Dad said to do it after the election...

We have to set the time

and the place ahead of time

You'll be leaving right after the engagement

so it'll be like a wedding

So I plan to go to Mrs. Jung's gallery

- Want to come with me? - Go later...

- Later? When? - After Hyon-woo gets over things...

What?

So let's go back to Seoul!

There's no reason for you to be here

- So, it was Shin-hee...? - Ja-young...

I'm glad...

I'm glad I wasn't responsible for your hardship!

It's good for me...

But I'd like you to just leave...

What?

It's true that I had a hard time...

but that's not why I broke up with you

What are you talking about?

It always felt like I was wearing someone else's clothes

Clothes that were very nice and fancy Clothes I'd like to have

but that are uncomfortable when I put them on

That's what you are

- Ja-young - Leave!

We're not compatible

You want me to leave by myself?

I raced here with butterflies in my stomach...

I held back tears every time I thought of you!

I thought that you were the perfect outfit for me

but you didn't?

I wanted to be the best person for you but you were uncomfortable?

Then tell me what kind of clothes fit you best

- I can become that - Stop doing this!

If you meet the right woman for you

everything will be fine So leave!

Let me ask you one thing!

Who are we breaking up for? For me?

I can't live without you and I don't want to do anything without you

so it's for me?

Can you live the rest of your life without regrets

without thinking about me?

Are you sure you'll be happy? I can't do it

Please, don't do this What do you want me to do?

Why are you making things difficult?

Look me straight in the eye and tell me

if you really want to break up with me

I love you... Don't you realize that?

You love me, too Don't you realize that either?

Are you kidding me?

Don't you shameless to say that?

I'll stalking you wherever you go

Ja-young!

What are you doing now! How many money will you take from her?

You seems like a beetle lives on my body

Have you ever seen the beetle get angry?

Hyun-woo... I really want to apologize to you

I have said to you I don't want talk to you

Never call me again

Why are you instigated Hyou-woo?

How couldn't you do that

Mom... I never want him away to Ja-young

Mom... help me, please I can't do anything anymore

I have done whatever I could for him...

You are the only one, mom...

Ja-young! What are you doing here?

Get up! Let's get out of here, right now!
