Original subtitles

I'm sorry you had to go through all this because of me.

Weren't you supposed to go to the workshop with Jun-su today?

How did you know that?

I had lunch with him today.

I just decided not to.

Oh, really?

Aren't you hungry?

That just made me realize I'm hungry.

I'll fix you a meal. Just wait a moment.

BEETLE FURNITURE WORKSHOP

Someone left behind their umbrella.

Hello, I saw you at the workshop.

Oh, hello.

I'll give you a ride. It's pouring.

No, it's fine.

I can take a cab.

At least let me give you a ride to the subway station, then.

All right, thank you.

Wow. It looks tasty.

You really made me a meal.

Here, take a bite.

Thank you for this.

Please enjoy.

By the way, why did you visit my office?

Shim?

Why did you come to my office?

I was curious about what kind of person you were.

That just sounded very weird.

But that's not what I meant.

How weird.

Literally, I wanted to get to know you.

No, this isn't right, either.

I wanted to investigate you. This isn't right, either.

It doesn't mean anything. Really.

I was curious about you since I first saw you.

What?

How weird.

That's not what I meant. You know, right?

Actually,

what I meant by that is that

I wanted to get to know...

No, it's more like I wanted to investigate you.

You know what I mean. When little kids see something new, they get curious.

Why are a frog's hind legs longer than their forelegs?

Why does the sun rise from the east and set to the west?

That kind of curiosity.

When exactly are you talking about?

What? What do you mean?

You said you were curious since you first saw me.

Your appearance itself arouses one's curiosity.

Especially with your hair like that.

You already knew that it was a wig.

What were you so curious about?

Why did she become so smart all of a sudden?

I really didn't want to say all this,

but I'm telling you since you keep asking.

I was really curious about...

what was inside your head.

I'm not talking about your hair, but your head.

I mean, literally the brain inside your head.

What kind of woman gets drunk and sleeps at a stranger's house?

You also tried to tear my hair out just because

I took some leaves off your plants.

And you also wore a plastic bag over your head

and laughed...

in a pile of garbage.

That's why I was curious.

So you're saying that...

I have shit for brains, right?

We're eating. You're making me lose my appetite.

Listening to your stories

made me lose my appetite, too.

I'm leaving.

That's not what I meant.

I lost my appetite, too.

Are you cold?

No, I'm okay.

I didn't realize that you would be cold from getting wet.

I should have turned on the heater.

It'll be too warm for you.

You don't have to turn it on for me.

There's a subway station just two blocks from here.

It's only for a little while anyway.

There aren't that many women in our class.

You must be interested in woodwork.

I like wood that's used in furniture.

I like the scent of it, and I also like the texture.

I want to make a table out of white ash or sugar maple.

That's why I signed up.

I also like both kinds,

but they're very sturdy.

You'll likely start with a softer type of wood when you start.

I see.

How long has it been since you started taking classes?

It's been about a year.

It's hard to make the time when work gets busy,

-but I feel relaxed after taking classes. -Right.

I thought about joining a few times,

but I didn't get to because of work.

But I just went for it this time.

Is your work nearby?

Yes. It's not far from here.

About your office...

Why is it called Guleum?

Is it the same word meaning "fertilizer"?

Are you saying you'll become precious soil of society?

Here she goes again.

That's a different word.

Guleum is spelled differently from how you write "fertilizer."

You're right.

I really must have shit for brains.

The speed that we're walking right now

is Andante in music.

I see. An Dan-tae.

Is that why your firm's name means "walking" in Korean?

When you were fighting with those gangsters earlier...

Did you fight a lot when you were in school?

-You were really good. -I'm not good at fighting.

I'm just good at dodging, and I hit them before they do.

Isn't that the same thing?

I shouldn't be telling people my secret.

Can you promise to keep my secret?

Go ahead.

Come on.

Okay.

I'll tell you.

Try hitting my face.

Why?

Just do it. I won't get hit anyway.

What? That's really cool.

How did you do that?

I see. This is why you're good at fighting.

How did you do it?

My secret is that I can see things moving fast in slow motion.

It's called dynamic visual acuity.

I'm more developed than most people.

I see.

I don't think you get it.

Dynamic visual acuity. Okay?

Why are you getting mad?

Gosh.

I remember it clearly.

I started to have weird dreams when I was fifteen years old.

It's a dream where a four or five-year-old boy is in it.

A big truck comes towards his way.

The boy tries to run away,

but he's stuck, and he can't move.

Then, the boy suddenly sees the fast truck moving slower,

and he's able to dodge it.

Ever since I had that dream,

I keep dreaming of the same thing.

And things moving fast started to look slow to me.

It's really strange that you can see things slowly

and also that you're dreaming the same dream.

The thing is...

I still don't know who that boy is.

Why did you hit me?

Why didn't you dodge?

How can I dodge that?

You have to hit me when I'm looking.

Why are you yelling at me?

You're the one who told me to hit you.

You're supposed to hit when I'm looking.

That's the only way I can dodge.

People don't only hit you when you're looking.

Come here.

Come here.

I think I'll move out tomorrow. My aunt found me a place.

That's good.

It's good since I make you lose your appetite, right?

Isn't it good because you get to live with your dad?

Yes.

I'm happy I get to live with him.

Look at the time.

Why? Is something going on?

It's time for the King Lunchbox to get here.

They'll be all gone if I'm late.

Welcome.

Gu-nam?

What are you doing here?

Working, what else?

Here?

Your house is an hour from here.

It's because of you.

I mean,

I got close to the owner here thanks to you.

He allowed me to choose the hours I want.

That's great.

Whenever you get these delivered, save one for me.

Okay.

Here's my card.

Shim.

You have a sister, right?

I was wondering why you didn't ask. All men are the same.

-What about her? -That's not it.

Why does she have two rooms

while you were kicked out...

There she is.

Mi.

Mi.

How do you do?

I'll be going.

What are you doing here?

Why were you with him?

I have my reasons.

What reasons?

Come on. It's nothing.

I thought you were going shopping with Mom today.

Where did you go? You came home late.

Well, the thing is,

a friend of mine is moving abroad.

We had dinner together.

Didn't you know Seok Jun-su

before you got hired?

I told you, I can't tell you anything about him.

Fine. Good for you.

This is rare.

You never ask me questions.

Don't hang out with that guy from our rooftop.

If you walk around with our tenant so late at night,

what would our neighbors think?

What is this?

I got scratched.

Are you dating him?

Are you crazy?

Why would...

Stop talking nonsense.

It seems like you really are from the way you're acting.

Stop it.

He's moving out tomorrow anyway.

I won't ever see him again, so stop talking nonsense.

It's more suspicious that he's moving out so suddenly.

Watch how you act, and don't disgrace me.

Look who's talking.

You shouldn't tell me to go find your stuff when I'm working.

I'm busy, too.

You're not the only one working.

Hey.

I have important contracts to sign.

Your job is to run errands anyway.

What's so bad about running an errand for me?

Do you know what I lost because of you?

If you don't know, just don't say anything.

What is it that you lost?

Forget it.

You're annoying me. Let's stop.

-I'm going to sleep. Get out. -What did you lose?

Forget it!

Goodness.

I'm sorry, little one.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

The flight for Incheon has arrived.

There she is.

-Mom. -Mother.

-Over here. -Mom.

Jun-su.

Come here.

My grandson.

Mother, we're here, too.

My daughter-in-law.

Did you miss me?

Of course. I missed you so much.

-Gosh. -How was the flight?

I just closed my eyes in Hong Kong, and then I was already here.

Mom, didn't you miss me?

-Whatever. Go away. -Gosh.

I know I'm your favorite.

My cute son. How were you?

Ma'am, someone left this in your mailbox.

What is it?

"Seok Jun-pyo"?

My goodness.

Jun-pyo.

Jun-pyo.

Oh, my.

This is the necklace I got you.

Jun-pyo.

Hello?

Did you get Jun-pyo's necklace?

Don't ask me any questions and just listen.

Okay.

If you saw the necklace,

you must believe me.

-I have something to say to you. -Okay.

Please, meet with me.

Don't call the police.

I won't do that.

I will go and meet you myself.

Don't worry, and please meet with me.

How is Jun-pyo?

Come to Hanwoori Park by 2:00 p.m. tomorrow,

and hold onto the envelope.

Hello?

Jun-pyo.

Jun-pyo, my dear Jun-pyo.

Jun-pyo...

That smells good.

Did you bake cookies?

It's for the office.

I want some, but she won't let us touch it.

Shim's cookies are the best.

When she had a crush on her gym teacher,

she used to bake all the time.

Does that mean there's another gym teacher at the office?

What's wrong with you guys?

It's for when I don't have time to go out for food.

And it won't stink up the place.

Hey.

It's the bobbed-hair girl.

Excuse me.

You scared me.

What is that?

It's rude to get so surprised after looking at people.

-Is it that weird? -It's extremely weird, but it's

weirder for you to not know and ask me if it's weird.

You're so mean.

Why are you doing your makeup here?

My sister was being a...

Forget it, it's nothing.

Wait.

Are you going out like that?

You shouldn't do that. You'll scare people.

You're so annoying.

What is it?

Do you know why a face is sometimes called a mug?

Because some people are so ugly that they can't be called a face.

My goodness.

You're really the champion of making people feel bad.

Do you really have to annoy me like that?

Have you dressed up like that to impress someone at work?

Seriously.

Don't follow me.

Stop joking around. Just stop.

I wonder who you want to impress at work.

Seriously, just stop.

Am I wrong?

Is there any other reason for you to look so pretty?

I took off my fake lashes and everything.

I'm not dressed up at all!

Not dressing up

makes you look the prettiest.

I'll rip your hair out if I get any more annoyed.

Don't follow me. I'm serious.

I'm not following you. I'm just going this way.

Hey.

Come on, it's my last day.

Shouldn't we have a goodbye party?

We got along as neighbors.

Just be thankful you're able to walk out on your two feet.

Let's barbecue some sausages on the rooftop.

I don't like sausages.

Earn lots of money!

He's so weird.

What's wrong with him?

Jun-pyo.

-Mom, aren't the flowers nice? -They're so beautiful. They really are.

Mother, let's take a walk together later.

Yes, let's do that.

Thank you, Jun-su.

He's all grown up, isn't he?

Hey, Sun-cheon.

It's so nice to see you.

It's been so long.

How have you been?

My goodness.

Gosh. What was that?

I'm certain that they knew each other before Shim got her job.

How do I look?

Isn't it nice?

I don't look like I live in a monthly rental house, do I?

Having money is so nice.

When I was young, I thought money was the best,

but now that I'm older, I really do think money is the best.

Gong Mi.

You canceled your appointment with me yesterday,

so I went to the store and bought this with your card.

I know. I get a text message whenever you use my credit card.

Don't you think it's too expensive, though?

It's not like I'm rich, you know.

You think I bought this for my own good?

It's all for you.

Didn't you buy that dress for yourself?

I should attend the Miso reunion again.

The Miso Metropolitan Beauty Contest prize winners' reunion?

The beauty contest where you won the first prize?

There were others who came in second and third place.

But they all got married to wealthy people.

They'd know people who'd be suitable for our Gong Mi.

Well, why didn't you attend the reunion earlier?

I couldn't because I was embarrassed of you failing your business!

My goodness.

But...

if I can find a suitable man for my Gong Mi,

embarrassment is nothing.

-See you. -Gong Mi, wait.

There's a man I have in mind for you. He's really nice.

You must get him.

He's handsome and capable, just like what you wanted.

You can get both money and fame. He's someone you can be proud of.

Once you marry him, no one will make you feel small.

His family owns a town hospital.

He is a doctor, too.

You guys.

From now on, don't mention anything about blind dates to me.

Wasn't this your favorite subject?

Are you seeing someone?

You shouldn't date just any man.

-You'll become like me. -You'll meet someone like me.

Don't you know me yet?

Why would you worry about that?

Do you think I'll be satisfied with a guy working at a town hospital?

Pull it up.

This is so nice.

I must be a genius.

I caught something big!

Gosh.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

It was my fault. I'm sorry.

Did I break your cell phone screen?

It's fine.

Is the phone screen all you care about?

Pardon?

Of course, you must be upset about getting hit on the head.

-My apologies. -Why do you live like this?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

But then, you wouldn't live like this if you were ashamed.

I can pay for your cell phone if it is broken.

Whatever.

I won't ask a person who has to pay a monthly rent of 250,000 won for money.

You'll probably keep calling me and bother me anyway.

You're going too far.

You don't need to pay for anything.

Because you're a lawyer, you should already know that...

I'm allowed to do this.

My bananas...

What a relief.

The inside is okay.

THE SECRETARY'S ROLE

Because Jun-su likes you so much, we won't oppose your relationship.

Mom. Dad.

Ms. Gong.

Yes, sir.

That's not right.

You should treat me like your father now.

How can I...

Okay.

Father.

That's it.

You're really cute.

You're just like a doll.

You're just like a doll.

Father.

Jun-su.

Excuse me.

I made it.

You're late.

Father!

What?

"Father"?

I came in late because my father was ill.

My apologies, sir.

If you come later than me once more...

you'll find yourself in big trouble.

Understood, sir.

Why do you sigh so deeply?

Hello, Mr. Seok.

Is something bothering you?

You sighed so deeply.

It's nothing.

Excuse me, sir.

Can you spare some time for me to tell you something?

Yes, I can.

I'm sorry to ask you this,

but about the photograph that An Dan-tae sent you by mistake...

Photograph?

Do you mean this?

It'd be great if you could delete it for me.

What would I get

if I delete this photo?

If you like cookies,

I'll give you a tasty cookie.

Okay.

Deleted.

It's done.

Please show it to me.

You didn't delete it, did you?

Show me.

-Please. -Why?

Please delete it. Why are you doing this?

-Please give it to me. -I don't want to.

Please.

Please delete the photo, sir.

Okay.

Look.

DELETE

Satisfied?

I'd like to ask you for one more favor.

You told me that I was your friend last time.

But I want you to treat me as a junior employee

in a businesslike manner.

If you don't, it puts me in an awkward position.

All right.

I guess I wasn't considerate enough.

Thank you for understanding.

I'll get going now.

Gong Shim.

What will you eat for lunch today?

I'll eat tonkatsu at the office cafeteria.

Go to the restaurant nearby and eat soy milk noodles.

This is an order.

Eat soy milk noodles

and send me a picture to prove that you ate it.

If you eat anything else, I'll fire you.

"I'll fire you."

"I'll fire you."

Oh, no!

It looks expensive. What should I do?

Where did he go?

He said he would be in his office.

By the way...

there is a rumor that you're close to Ms. Gong.

Is that true?

You should know that I have ears, too.

Look at you. You're getting all worried again.

It's nothing like that, so don't worry.

Do you know how much attention you receive at this company?

You're the future owner of this group.

You shouldn't be chit-chatting with a secretary like that.

What would people think of you?

I'm sorry, Mom.

My goodness.

You're way too nice to everyone.

That's why girls with no class try to flirt with you.

Why? Am I wrong?

No.

Your words are always right.

Please stop being so nice to people just because you pity them.

All right?

Okay, I get it. I understand.

Oh.

Your dad is in the lobby. Let's go.

Okay.

CHUN SUNG-MI

Soo-yong.

Are you saying

that you're going to tell everything to Dan-tae?

What are you trying to do?

Why?

What's the point of meeting his family now?

And what about my poor sister who's watching from above?

-Ji-yeon, please. -And what about us?

How are we going to face Dan-tae afterwards?

Ji-yeon.

I won't be able to live much longer.

I have a brain tumor. I only have three months.

Maybe six months, if I'm lucky.

There's not enough time.

I want to confess my sins before it's too late.

So are you saying

that you're going to go inside and meet Dan-tae so that...

you can tell him everything?

Ji-yeon.

I've made so many mistakes.

Let me see him.

No, you can't. Please.

As long as I'm alive, I can't let that happen.

Then,

I'll go meet Jun-pyo's family.

No, don't!

Just leave it.

Just leave everything as it is.

Ji-yeon, please don't do this.

I have to confess my sins before I die.

Soo-yong!

Soo-yong!

Mom.

I guess Dad decided not to come.

I guess he's still mad at me.

I wouldn't forgive myself if I were him, either.

I'm so sorry.

I'll come back next time.

-I'm home. -Hey.

Hey, you're home early.

-Yes. -Did you eat dinner?

I came home to change. I have to go somewhere right away.

I guess Shim decided to stop liking the mysterious man at work.

She just brought it back home.

I'm too lazy to fix dinner. Let's just eat coffee and cookies.

Mom, I'll take these for my late-night snack at work.

My goodness. I can't believe her.

Thank you.

Having a woman at this workshop livens up the whole atmosphere.

Don't you think so?

Here you go.

-Thank you. -No problem.

You're way too nice to everyone.

That's why girls with no class try to flirt with you.

Why? Am I wrong?

No.

Your words are always right.

Please stop being so nice to people just because you pity them.

He took my belongings, too.

What should I do?

These are yours, right?

Yes. You can just leave them here.

I think I need a car to move them tomorrow.

Do you think so?

I thought he found a new place to live in.

Well...

He did find a new place.

But his father...

He didn't come to see him.

I see.

He didn't want to live in the new place alone.

That's why his stuff is all here.

Yes.

I'm happy I get to live with him.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I saw you on my way home.

Why are you drinking alone?

No reason. It just happened.

Don't get drunk again.

I don't feel like playing hide-and-seek today.

I won't get drunk. I promise.

By the way, you could have just gone home.

What made you stop by?

I didn't see you.

I felt like drinking, too.

Something good might happen by coming here instead of going home,

but something bad could happen as well.

Life is like that anyway.

Well, I still hope good things will happen.

Stopping by here

won't change my life anyway.

You're right.

Are you moving back to the rooftop today?

Well...

I decided not to.

Why not?

You always wanted to live there again.

You complained about your sister taking two rooms at home.

I can't afford it.

I need the 250,000 won.

I'm going to put it up for rent.

I'm worried about living with my dad.

I'm already so used to living by myself.

By the way, why did you...

put on fake eyelashes this morning?

I know it looked weird.

Then why did you put them on?

My sister took after my mom.

So she has big eyes

and fine features.

She is beautiful.

But I look like my dad.

So I have saggy eyes...

and poor features.

You think your sister's pretty?

Yes.

To me, she is the prettiest woman in the world.

To me, the prettiest woman in the world

is you.

Okay, fine. I'll pay for the drinks.

What are you doing?

You're so cute.

What's wrong with you?

An Dan-tae!

An Dan-tae...

What? You had seven bottles?

You're out of your mind.

Dan-tae.

Wake up, Dan-tae.

An Dan-tae!

Dan-tae.

Please, wake up.

Oh, dear.

An Dan-tae.

Please, wake up.

You're killing me.

An Dan-tae.

An Dan-tae...

I can't walk anymore.

My back hurts.

It hurts.

But...

it hurts less than what I felt earlier today.

Mr. Seok broke my heart.

He was being nice to me out of pity.

I should have noticed that earlier.

What a fool.

I'm so stupid.

Wake up, An Dan-tae.

You should go home. Can you hear me?

Wake up.

Stand up.

Come on.

Okay, you're all set.

Yes...

If there's a signed contract already,

there must be a reasonable cause to make the cancellation valid.

So I think the contract should be carried out.

Ms. Gong Mi. What do you think?

I have a different opinion.

Refusal of succession can be filed after the successor passes away.

And that's when it becomes valid.

That's why...

-She's a lawyer. -a simple note on

the refusal of succession won't do much.

In my opinion, it's not valid.

Jun-su, you should get going now.

I'm coming.

This came from the court.

The court?

DECLARATION OF DISAPPEARANCE

"Declaration of disappearance"?

Seok Jun-pyo is now officially a missing person?

What is this?

Tell me. What in the world is this?

This is equivalent to a declaration of death.

Who did this?

Who reported this to the court?

Did you do this?

Did you report this?

Tell me. Do you think you have any right to do this?

Mother, please.

Please calm down. Let me explain.

Shut it!

Cancel this report.

Shame on you.

Cancel this right away.

Please think about Jun-su's father, too.

He is the president of the company. But he doesn't even have

-his own stock share. -Exactly.

The fact that the shares are still under your

grandson's name who has been missing for 26 years is absurd.

Is that what you think? Thanks for mentioning that.

That's why you reported this to the court, didn't you?

To make sure Jun-pyo is dead and get the stocks for yourselves.

That's not what I meant. You need to forget about--

Shut your mouth!

Shame on you.

Shame on you!

-Sun-cheon. -I don't want to talk to you.

You people are so greedy.

Do you think things will go the way you want? Never.

My goodness. They didn't do anything wrong.

From my perspective, I think they've treated you

with respect and sincerity like their own parent.

They're taking good care of you.

What are you talking about?

Did I ever ask for that?

I don't need anything from any of you, so just get out of here.

I gave birth to my own kid and let you have him as your legal child.

You should appreciate that.

Legally speaking, Dae-hwang is your son.

You should treat him like one.

You've never been nice to him.

You were always so cold. You didn't do anything for him.

But even then, the kids still decided to take care of you.

I'm going to cancel this.

And I will never forgive you all.

Come on.

I made them do that.

What was that again?

The shares of the company.

Yes. Split the shares for them, too!

Look.

Do you really not remember anything

from last night?

I don't.

You don't remember doing this to me?

Sorry, I can't remember. It hurts.

Drink as much as you can handle.

Who drinks that much?

You're ridiculous.

You begged me to let you move back into the rooftop.

And you asked me to call the moving truck for you.

That's why I'm helping you.

I see. I'm so sorry, Shim.

You really don't remember doing this?

I really don't. I'm sorry!

I need to go to work.

I called my office that I'm going to be late because of this.

I got scolded.

I'm sorry.

I'm leaving.

Good luck on earning money.

JUN-SU'S GRANDMOTHER

Yes, ma'am. It's Dan-tae. How have you been?

Hello? Ma'am?

You should speak if you made a call...

Oh, are you calling to ask for the repairing cost

for the car I scratched the other day?

Come to the company, right now.

Right now?

Would you like to go somewhere?

Just hurry up and come.

Sure. Okay, I will.

I'll be there right now. I'll be super fast.

Okay. All right. See you soon.

Jun-pyo.

SEOK JUN-PYO

DECLARATION OF DISAPPEARANCE

So tell me. What does this mean?

It means that the court officially recognizes that

Seok Jun-pyo has gone missing.

In other words, it's similar to a doctor

pronouncing someone's death at a hospital.

Can't we cancel it?

It can't be canceled, ma'am.

But instead, there is a way.

What is it?

The missing person must come back alive.

How cruel...

How cruel of them.

Ma'am, please calm down.

BEETLE FURNITURE WORKSHOP

Hello.

Hello.

Why weren't you at the workshop today?

Did you finish making the chair?

Not yet. It needs a few more touches.

By the way,

what are you doing here?

Actually, I waited for you...

here.

You waited for me?

The cookies that I brought yesterday were meant for you.

I was embarrassed to only give them to you.

That's why I decided to give them out to everybody.

I see.

So...

what I'm trying to say is that...

I want to know more about you.

Would you like to go out with me?

Well...

I don't know what to say.

If you don't want to, you can just say no.

Don't feel pressured.

Shim. Are you going home?

Yes.

You look like an old person. What is the matter with you?

Gosh, you stink of pain relief patch.

It's all because of you.

It's all because I had to carry someone who got drunk.

Okay, I get it. I'm sorry and I appreciate it.

But why do you keep showing up at my workplace?

Haven't you settled the trouble you caused?

Not yet.

Since I caused you trouble,

I'll treat you with some food to improve your health.

Let's go eat something tasty. Okay?

I'm fine.

Why not?

Jun-su introduced me a restaurant and the food is great.

It's my treat today.

What's wrong? Let's go inside.

The restaurant looks nice,

but it seems too expensive.

Don't worry about the price and just eat it for your health.

It's okay. I can just eat instant noodles for two months.

Do you want me to eat or not?

You're making me feel uncomfortable.

You should eat.

Let's just go inside and worry about it later.

I think it's going to be really expensive.

Let's go in.

I'll park the car and follow you. You can go in first.

Okay.

-Stop mimicking me. -"Stop mimicking me."
