Let me ask you one thing For whom are we breaking up?

For me? I can't live without you

I don't want to do anything without you, so how is that for me?

That is what you want?

Are you sure you won't regret it?

Can you live without thinking of 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 this so difficult?

Look me in the eye and tell me

if you really want to break up

I love you Don't you realize that?

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

If we love each other why do we have to break up?

Please, don't do this

I've missed you so much

but I persevered again and again and let you go...

I know what Shin-hee put you through

Eun-shil told me about the proxy exam

If I had known earlier I would've kept Shin-hee at arm's length

That would've been easier for us

She's not the only one at fault I'm partly responsible

To be honest, I don't like Shin-hee

Although I dislike her sometimes I feel sorry for her

- What do you mean? - She must hate me just as much

It can't be easy for her

to see me at home and at school

when I know about her failures

Maybe that's why she tried so hard to break us up

From now on, I'll make sure you don't suffer because of Shin-hee

What are we going to do?

So why did you push him into a corner?

I didn't know he'd leave home

I think he likes her more than we think

What if he doesn't come home?

If he doesn't come home today I'll go see him

You know where he is?

I had Assistant Park call his friends

Do you know where Captain Hwang's house is?

- Of course - Where is it?

There's a grocery store 200 meters from here

Go straight up that alley

Thank you

I should send you away with a hot meal

We'll be back again

Bye, Aunt

You came here looking half dead but you're leaving jubilantly

Aunt...

- Good-bye - Yes

Bye...

- Don't come out - Just go

Yup. Hyon-woo beat me to it

What were you doing all that time

Before Hyun-woo has taken her?

Don't get mad, I did my best

See, you were hungry

It's good

- Bye - You must be tired, so go

Rest today and I'll see you tomorrow

Thank you, Hyon-woo... for holding on to me

I'll take care of everything, so you

just let me lead Don't get weak, okay?

- Hello? - This is Ja-young

- Oh... - Let's talk

- What do you want to say? - Hyon-woo told me everything

As I've told Hyon-woo

Seung-jae can't seem to forget you, so...

I didn't ask to see you to listen to your excuses

I've always felt guilty toward you...

because I knew how you felt about Hyon-woo

Just get to the point

What happened has freed me from that guilt

No, now I regret having felt guilty

I knew that you didn't like me

especially because of Hyon-woo

but I never thought you'd use Seung-jae

to push me into a corner

Why, you're... Who used Seung-jae? Go ask him!

That's not necessary

What happened was difficult for Hyon-woo and I

but we realized how important we are to each other

- Are you taunting me? - No

I'm certain that our love grew stronger because of you

You gave us a trial and we overcame it

And no matter how you interfere I won't back down again

I wanted to see you to make that clear

Cue

Cue!

- Shin-hee! - I'm sorry

What are you doing?

Let's do it again

Cue!

I'm on location at a movie set

More and more filled with feverish cxcitement

This is Director Min Hyun-ki's second film...

What was the title?

- "Winter Bird" - Cut!

What's wrong with you today?

I'm sorry I'll do it again

I'm on location at a movie set

This is Director Min Hyun-ki's second film, "Winter Bird"

I'm on the set right now

Let's meet the lead actor

Excuse me...

I thought I'd have a heart attack

That producer's eyebrows kept getting meaner

You had seven retakes

I'm sorry, I'm sorry What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry. I'll do it again

Did I? Did I make that many mistakes?

You're in shock because of Ja-young

How she has changed?

What did she do to break your spirit?

- Who's spirit is broken? - It's not?

You barely separated Ja-young and your Hyon-woo

but they're back together Isn't it over then?

And Ja-young told you off, too

Let her say what she wants

Why are you so confident?

I control Hyon-woo's mom

Really? Ja-young controls Hyon-woo

and you control his mom...

- It's so confusing! - It gives me a headache, too

Should we go shopping to cheer ourselves up?

- Yes, let's go shopping! - Yes

You're going to buy that, too? It's for guys

What?

Mi-ja...

Why do you think Hyon-woo likes Ja-young?

Huh?

That's because someone pulled the wool over his eyes

Or else, why would he like a malicious girl like her?

The studious ones are cruel

You have to be to read boring textbooks

You went shopping to release stress

so what's that look on your face?

Nothing excites me

How dare you wait here!

I called as soon as I got back from Kangneung

- but your phone was off - I was doing a broadcast

- You should be saying something - Like what?

You let Hyon-woo beat you to it

so you want to plot something else?

We should just take our hands off now?

What have you accomplished by keeping your hands in this?

So it's my fault again?

I'll see what's going on and call you

so don't loiter around here

Ja-young could overhear us and...

Get lost!

Get me a brochure about the school

and find out about tuition living expenses, and housing

Just come to our school

It's private, so it's expensive

Why should you worry about money?

Just in case

And scope out some jobs for me

Hold on

Who's there?

It's your father

Dad...

Let's sit down

Come home for now

Even if there's a conflict in our family

you must resolve it at home

I'm sorry, I don't think it's time yet

If Mom doesn't believe me about Shin-hee

it means she doesn't trust me

I can't talk to someone who doesn't trust me

You really don't know why we're doing this?

There's something you used to tell me often

People can lose material things in an instant

that I shouldn't trust material things

And you said that you do business with the heart

No one chooses their status

at birth

Meet Ja-young just once She's a good person

You can meet her and

see what she's like

Please, Dad

Why did you come back so early?

It just happened

Was it fresh air? Your face seems lively

That's not why

That boy who brought you home is the one who's been calling?

Aunt said he's handsome

Who brought Ja-young home?

Some boy went to Kangneung to get her

Mom...

Who is he that he went all the way there for you?

What should I say...? A friend?

It sounds like he's more than a friend

Have I aged that much?

You're still a little girl in my eyes

but you have a boyfriend already?

You had a fight and then made up?

What's he like?

I'll tell you later Let me off the hook this time

Hello?

It's him again!

Hello?

Hyon-woo!

You could've told me over the phone

Why come over when you must be tired?

I wanted to tell you to your face

What is it?

Kiss me and I'll tell you

I set up a meeting with my dad He's going to see you

Really? Is that the truth?

As soon as Dad left, I raced here

Everything's going to work out now

Meeting me doesn't mean everything will work out

You worry too much

If he gets to know you he'll approve

How can you be so sure?

Because I'm his son

Then move back home Go home and persuade them

What if they get angry

and won't send you abroad because of me?

Don't worry. Don't you think that I can take care of you?

That's not what I mean

Just wanting to marry me is a shock

so imagine how hurt they are that you moved out

I know, but let's get their approval first

We can appease their anger later

Okay?

You can't do this to me

Hyon-woo won't give in so easily

But why did you promise

to meet her?

You can't sleep at night because of Hyon-woo

Parents have to give in sometimes

You're just going to meet her, right?

No, I'm going to take this meeting seriously

What?

There must be a reason

why he loves her to death

Then what about Shin-hee?

Well...

Let's think about that after meeting the young lady

After I formally introduce you

I'm going to tell my mom about Shin-hee again

And if she still doesn't believe me

I'm going to bring Shin-hee and show her

that she's not the girl Mom thinks she is

- And the proxy exam... - No, Hyon-woo

- Don't mention that - Why not?

I'm partly at fault

and your knowing about that

is too cruel to Shin-hee

It'll make her stop being so attached to Shin-hee

Even so, I don't want to use her weakness to get your parents' approval

And I saw Shin-hee earlier

You saw her?

I made my position clear to her

so she won't try anything

So let's persuade your parents with our own efforts

I don't want you to keep suffering

Don't worry, I'm probably more stubborn than your mom

It's very late, get going

For about a year, don't say

Why did you come? Go home

Or anything that sounds like that to me

What?

My heart still drops

- I'm sorry - You should be sorry

You were so mean to me Like a coward, you ran away

and you said the most hurtful things

What else...?

I won't do that anymore I realized that I can run

but it won't do any good if the heart's not willing

Dummy! Did you just realize that?

- Here you go - Here

- Nine dollars - Yes

- Good-bye, come again - Yes, bye

- Eun-shil! - What?

- Want to see it? - What is it?

It's a flyer

Young-chul the Bachelor's Side Dishes...

- It's a bit tacky - What?

Make it "Young-chul's Pickled Foods" It sounds friendly

It sounds like it's married to "Eun-shil's Pickled Foods"

It almost is You're buying all your food from me

Besides, you won't be single forever

What if you get married?

Do you think I'll sell side dishes for life?

After a few years I'm going to expand

Besides, why worry about getting married already?

You can marry if you're suddenly struck by love

I'll be selling side dishes to the housewives

so how could I be struck by love?

I'll be opening soon

so without me, you'll be bored

I'm interviewing at a few hospitals

Did you think I'd stay here forever?

They're local hospitals You said you're not going to the country

I can't waste my education

And I don't want to rot here

It's not like someone's holding me back here

That's why you're going?

No one's begging me to stay!

Why are you yelling at me, woman?

Hey, talk with me just a moment

Hello?

- Eun-shil! - You're back!

I have felt about you're back!

You're really good

How did you persuade her?

I begged, cried and threatened to kill myself

That all

She'll believe you

So why did you torture Hyon-woo?

Would you like to order?

Anything... No, give me citron tea

- Yes - Yes

What was she doing when you got there? Was she sulking and crying?

I'm sure she was sitting by the ocean crying

- "Hyon-woo... Hyon-woo..." - How did you know?

If left alone she would've jumped in the ocean

I can't let you two meet

All right, I'll stop I'm just happy

We owe it all to you Thank you!

Talk is cheap

He wanted to thank you first

so he's buying you lunch

What do you want to eat?

Is the store busy? My brother's there

Then he has to eat alone

It's pitiful to see a man eat alone at the store

You...!

No, it's not because I like your brother

Besides, he doesn't even think I'm a woman

He's so mean to me

- I said no! - It's the truth

Yes?

- Mother, I'm here - Hi

- You're not too busy? - No

Was your mom very upset because of Hyon-woo?

No, I asked her to wait until Hyon-woo

gets over his feelings

It takes time to get over your feelings

He doesn't even know how understanding you are

I asked to see you because...

Yes...?

Hyon-woo said something odd

He said that

you're behind that battery incident

I'm really upset about that, Mother

Ja-young still has feelings for Hyon-woo

so she twisted everything...

I didn't believe him of course

But he said that he heard

you and that guy talking

We chatted while he was waiting for Ja-young

I ran into him a few times in front of my house

- So that's what happened - Yes

This is Shin-hee Meet me for a minute

I have nothing to say to you I don't know you

- Was it Shin-hee? - Yes. Don't be concerned

Dad's not here so come another time

It's proper to ask the woman's parents for her hand first

I have to ask for your hand

You're really stubborn

You go in first I want to buy a few things

What does your mother like?

Let's eat! What's Shin-hee doing?

She was in bed

She's so down these days Try to cheer her up

Her mood fluctuates constantly

so how can I cheer her up?

I don't know what she did wrong

but she even wants to postpone the engagement

Seeing her like that breaks my heart

You fuss over her too much

Go get her She should eat at least

All right

She's coming

Hey, Hyon-woo's here!

Why is he going that way?

What's going on?

Hey!

- You needn't bow - No Thanks

I'd like to

I don't know if this is right...

I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself sooner. My name is Jung Hyon-woo

- I hope you are kind - I'm Ja-young's brother

Sit down Let's sit down and talk

But you look familiar

I saw you at Shin-hee's once

I enjoyed your stew

Jaesung Group's son...?

Shin-hee! Open the door!

Shin-hee, open the door! Open up! Hey!

- Have some - Yes

I should've come when Father was here

but he's been busy, so I just came

What's your relationship with my sister?

I'd like to study abroad with Ja-young

Study abroad?

Are you saying

you're going to marry my sister?

Yes, I'd like to

If you're the heir to Jaesung Group

do your parents know about this?

Actually, I haven't gotten their permission yet

But Ja-young and I have made up our minds

so we're going to get their approval no matter what

Naturally, they won't approve

Young-chul...

She doesn't have much

but she's better than anyone out there, so...

I know what concerns you

I'm confident that I won't break her heart

I don't know what's going on

As I understand it

you're getting engaged to Shin-hee

That was discussed between the parents

but I have no intention of doing that

It's not just your decision

To be honest I'm not very happy to meet you

Young-chul, why are you saying that?

Will your parents or Shin-hee's parents just stand by?

Even if you love Hyon-woo you hired someone to do what?

Where did you learn to do that?

So after everything you've done

Hyon-woo went to Ja-young's house?

Mom, please help me I did everything I could

There's nothing more I can do

You're my only hope

I really can't let Ja-young have Hyon-woo

Hyon-woo's one thing

but Ja-young's the impertinent one

Knowing we were discussing your engagement to Hyon-woo

she made a move on him?

After I gave them a place to live

how dare they covet my son-in-law to-be?

You just calm Hyon-woo's anger

I'll take care of the rest

Did my brother make you feel uncomfortable?

No, I wish I had a brother like him, too

What?

I don't have siblings

I could feel his love for you

He's terribly concerned about me He's worried that I might get hurt

It's not that he doesn't like you

Don't worry, I won't misunderstand

If I had a sister I'd be like him, too

How could I trust my sister to a guy?

- I'll go now. Sleep well - You too

- Drive carefully - Yes

Empty your heart now

No, no, it's too late for that

To be honest, even if I were a guy

I'd prefer Ja-young over you

Baek Mi-ja!

Don't get mad, friend Is it a crime to be honest?

And you benefited from her

Thanks to her your grades went up and...

How did I benefit all that much?

Ja-young...

You have no idea

Until junior high, I was pretty happy

Although strict, I had a wonderful dad

and a mom who'd do anything for me

But after Ja-young's family moved in

suddenly my dad threw my report card in my face

How badly your score is Look at Ja-young's record!

He started comparing me to Ja-young

At first, I tried

but how could I compete with Ja-young?

So I give up

Why am I so sleepy?

I can't help it if Hyon-woo doesn't like me

But I won't let Ja-young have him

If I can't have him neither can Ja-young

Hello?

Yes Ma'am Right now?

When my husband asked me to let you move in

I wasn't happy about it

After living cozily by ourselves

it wasn't easy to take in non-family members

But for my husband's convenience

and after I heard of your dire circumstances

I let you move in to help you out

So you can't do this to Shin-hee's husband to-be

That way...

I was shocked, too

When the son from Jaesung Group showed up...

I didn't tell my husband about Ja-young

He thinks of Hyon-woo as his future son-in-law

so imagine how upset he'd be if he knew

- I'm sure... - So what are you going to do?

I hope you're not going to leave it to the kids

The thing is...

If you were the wife of Jaesung Group's owner

would you approve of Ja-young?

Hyon-woo's mom is stressed out about Ja-young

She refuses to accept Ja-young as her daughter-in-law

It have no need to talk

Let's just say that they stubbornly marry

How will Ja-young endure the stress?

If the mother-in-law really wanted to

she can make Ja-young's life hellish

Why should a sweet and smart girl like Ja-young

marry someone from a different class

and suffer mental anguish?

Ja-young's smart so she can continue with her studies

If she goes to study abroad

she'll have a chance to meet plenty of nice guys

- Study abroad? - Yes

What are you doing?

Mom, which is better?

Ja-young, do you have to go there?

What do you mean?

You'll get rejected for sure

Ja-young!

Aren't you going too far?

Ja-young. Sit down

You and his family aren't compatible

They agreed to see you

because of their son's stubbornness

They're not meeting you as their daughter-in-law to-be

How much did they offer this time?

If I give up on Hyon-woo how much will they give you?

Do you think I'm doing this for money?

Even if I were Hyon-woo's parent, I wouldn't approve of you

You'll get rejected anyway

so you should just go abroad

Mom! If you're saying that for my sake

don't say it again

I can't break up with Hyon-woo I won't!

I'm so frustrated You'll only get hurt!

No, I trust Hyon-woo

So you trust me and Hyon-woo... please

- Shin-hee - God...!

What? What's the matter?

Are you really my friend?

What a thing to say to your guardian angel

Guardian angel? Is there a two-faced guardian angel?

What? What did I do?

When you get drunk your true feelings come out

Me? What did I say?

That if you were Hyon-woo you'd prefer Ja-young over me

What a crezy I am!

Did I really say that? So that's what I said...

I ramble when I get drunk Have you seen me really messed up?

It'll take more than a few drinks...

That's right They say that when I get drunk

I say things I don't mean

I even downed your drinks

I don't even know how I got home

I blacked out

I have no memories!

Shin-hee Don't be angry

For the sake of our five year friendship, I'll let it go this time

Just don't reveal your true feelings again

I won't Thanks, friend

Are you in a good mood?

Let's just say that I see a glimmer of hope

Did you talk to her?

Yes, but... She's not a child anymore...

so I couldn't get through to her

Is it Ja-young who's refusing or is it you?

Pardon?

Ja-young wouldn't disobey her mother

Aren't you hoping that

she and Hyon-woo will work out?

No, Ma'am After what you told me

I could just see Ja-young getting hurt

so I talked to her

but she has a mind of her own

So you're going to let her do what she wants?

Tomorrow, she's...

I'm at my wits' end

My husband said he'd talk to her

She won't even talk to me

I'm sure she knows what she's doing

I thought she was smart but she's a fool

Just tell her that

life isn't a childish game

Hello?

This is Shin-hee

Don't hang up and hear me out

I said I have nothing to say to you. Don't call me again

I want to apologize to you

That's not necessary

Ja-young is meeting my parents

so stop doing this

I don't know you Bye

Mom What did Ja-young's mother say?

Ja-young's very crafty

She turned down studying abroad and money

- She did? - Did you talk to Hyon-woo?

You have to calm his anger

for me to meet with his mom

All right

Mom, don't call Hyon-woo's mom yet

Okay

You're going to dwindle all the settlement money away

Sending money to your family and the expenses...

You don't have much left, do you?

No

But you got quite a bit

We should've withdrew my savings

and opened a tiny store

Do you think I double majored

to open a tiny store?

I'm just frustrated for you

You get your hopes up but nothing happens

Hello?

What's up?

We met in an indecent way...

Our relationship ends here

Don't call me again And don't come to see me

What are you talking about?

It's all over

Ja-young's meeting Hyon-woo's parents

What? So you're giving up?

I'm not giving up... I lost to Ja-young

What about the promise you made me?

I hope you don't expect me to keep that promise

It was only if

you got Ja-young away from Hyon-woo

So you can't do anything for me?

The marketing department is out of the question

but I can get you into the warehouse

Don't be ridiculous

Do you think I came this far for that?

I gained nothing

yet you want me to keep my promise?

You've had several opportunities

but you failed to grasp them

I know you

You can't give up on what you want

You're going let Ja-young have Hyon-woo just like that?

Don't make me laugh

What am I supposed to do?

She's meeting his parents

Let's end it here

I thought that you'd take care of everything

but you only made things difficult for me

I can't give up here No, I won't give up

If you don't give up...? You and I lost to Ja-young

Eat your fill, everyone

It feels a bit chilly in here

The gas bill is high

so the heat only comes on briefly in the morning and at night

The government doesn't subsidize

the retirement homes enough

Eat your fill

- You doing well, Madam - oh, really?

What are you doing?

Do you think this is a playground?

It's fun We're a duet

A duet? You and me, a duet?

If we work together then we're a duet

You're in my way. Move over

Why did you come here only to annoy me?

- Do I annoy you? - Of course you do!

You stick to me like glue... Wouldn't you be annoyed?

Fine

Are you upset?

Have you seen glue get upset?

I was joking

Are you hungry?

Want to go have spicy rice cakes?

Let's go I'll buy you sausages, too

What type of glue eats spicy rice cakes?

Let's go and eat

I'm leaving

Don't get your hopes up just take care of yourself

Can we go somewhere and talk?

- Ja-young... - Let go!

Are you this shameless?

You're mistaken about something

I searched

Kangneung for days looking for you

I finally found it but you had already left

What orders did Shin-hee give you this time?

This has nothing to do with her

Get in We'll talk on the way

No!

If you keep acting like this

I'm going to hassle you forever

Give me one last chance This is really the last time

Mom...

Thank you

I haven't given my approval yet so stop saying that

Where are you going?

You have to go straight!

Be quiet

Do you want to die?

Why are you doing this?

If you don't want to die, sit still

I guess there's traffic

If you want to leave number press no.1 and...

Ja-young, where are you? Your mom said you left

If you're stuck in traffic, call me

Get out

I said, get out!

Where are we? Why are you doing this?

I want to talk to you!

Let go!

Let go!

Get in!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Let go! Stop it!

You're Shin-hee's dog!

Is it Shin-hee again? It was Park Seung-jae?

You brought this on yourself Why'd you push me to the edge?

You don't give up, do you?

What are you talking about?

If you don't prove my innocence

I'm going to expose the proxy exam

I'm going to tell Hyon-woo that you put me up to it

What are you doing in my store?

This is my store

I'm never going to give up on Hyon-woo
