- Have a good day! - Thanks. You too!

Sir. How much is this?

30 cents.

- Just a moment, please. - Ok.

Hey kid.

- Yes? - What's this?

Huh? Why was that in there?

Stealing at such a young age!

Come over here!

Hey, what's the matter?

- It wasn't me! - It wasn't you?!

- What are you doing? - I said it wasn't me!

He didn't do it.

I saw it myself.

Some other kid put it in there.

Some other kid... put it in there?

Oh, I get it. You kids are all a team!

You get over here. Now!

Let her go, sir!

Leave her alone!

Run for it!

Hey hey! Stop right there!

This way!

You little runts!

Stop right there!

Stop right there!

Hurry hurry!

Let's split up!

See you later!

All right!

What's your name? I'm Han Dong-Joo.

I'm Shin Ji-Soo.

I like you.

Me too.

Me too!

I'm Park Ki-Tae.

3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo.

Nice to meet you.

That's where you are!

- Run! - Stay right there!

I swear!

I swear!

(Episode 1) I swear!

You first.

Ok.

I, Shin Ji-Soo...

swear that I will always be a member of the Three Musketeers.

(Future Dream: Photojournalist)

This isn't even an interview.

Why is a magazine photoshoot so bothersome?

Next time, don't just take up these offers by yourself.

Ok.

They kept on asking so I couldn't do anything.

Sorry.

Please finish it ASAP.

Ok. I'll hurry.

Thank you for giving up your time.

Let's keep this under 5 minutes.

Ok.

Try taking off your cardigan.

It looks a little uncomfortable.

I decide my photoshoot themes.

So keep your thoughts to yourself and just take pictures.

You're not going to take any?

Ok.

Don't take any from that side.

I like this side better.

This side's fine as well.

What are you doing right now?

If you take it like this, don't you know it makes your face look big?

You have to stand far back and zoom in.

Do I have to explain everything?

You decided to do this. Please trust me.

You won't regret it. ok?

That's why I don't work with just anyone.

It's just not worth it.

Hurry up and take the pictures.

That's fine.

After waiting all day, it's only 5 minutes for pictures...

but if we're doing it like this, we'll just use ones we have.

I wanted to take some special pictures for you, Miss Jang Soo-Youn.

But this is good enough. Thank you for your time.

Have a good day.

How dare she... Hold on.

Do you have that much confidence?

Fine.

Then take some pictures.

Let's see just how good you are.

Happy?

Ok.

That's good.

I, Park Ki-Tae, swear...

to always be a member of the Three Musketeers.

Also...

I solemnly swear, to protect Shin Ji-Soo until I die.

That wasn't part of the oath.

What?

Did you guys plan this?

- Huh? - What's the matter?

We're saying we'll watch over you.

(Name: Park Ki-Tae)

(Future Dream: Businessman)

I saw it in the newspaper.

Your ability to shock people is extraordinary.

I'm embarrassed.

They say the company reassessment was your project.

Yes.

Why did you take care of company matters?

I felt it was worth it.

Prick!

What did I do that was so wrong?

I don't think raising company profits and stock prices is so wrong.

Please tell me the reason.

I am also capable of thought.

Did I tell you to think?

In my company, one person doing the thinking is enough!

You arrogant fool.

Well, considering your birth...

That's so unbearable.

Your head isn't just dangling off your neck.

If you have one, you should use it.

Are you stupid or is this all intentional?

I don't see what being so dutiful has to do with any of this.

You know that Father hates it when you do anything better than bro.

So why are you so persistent? Did you expect a reward?

Cut me some slack.

I've been doomed since birth.

We will protect Shin Ji-Soo until we die.

When I'm not there, Ki-Tae will look after her.

And when he is not there, I will take care of her.

(Han Dong-Joo) (Autumn 1992)

(1992, Han Dong-Joo Gone Missing in River)

I heard that you went out today and had a spat with Jang Soo-Youn.

Pardon? No, I didn't.

It was fine.

Really?

Then why would she have called me?

She called you?

You, Sir?

Do you think she called because she was in awe of your photography skills...

Or because she asked me to send a different photographer next time?

Which one do you think it was?

Hey, Boss.

The truth is, she was being so picky that...

Enough. Fine.

So if she wants something, we have to comply?

Excuse me?

It was only yesterday that she begged us for a photoshoot.

You did well.

The truth is, you feel too strongly to do something like that again, huh?

So with that in mind, I picked a better job for you.

This weekend, it's a 3 day, 2 night business trip to Japan.

Take a look.

Sir! Boss!

What is this?

Jang Soo-Youn reserved plane tickets to Japan for this weekend.

What does it matter to me if she goes to Japan or not?

You remember that time Jang Soo-Youn went to England on a promo tour, right?

That was just an excuse. Something's going on with a man.

So?

So we heard that guy is going to Japan.

Think about it.

That guy is going to Japan and upon hearing that, Jang Soo-Youn goes too.

What do you think?

Sounds fishy, eh?

Follow them and bring back a picture of them together.

If you get one of them kissing, even better.

Wait, so you're asking me to be a paparazzi?

Think like a reporter.

If you pull this one off then I'll make you one for sure!

I don't have any intentions to make it...

by digging into the personal life of someone famous.

So you can't do it?

Just answer that.

Can you do it or not?

Ok. I can't do it.

Fine.

Miss Shin Ji-Soo.

Yes?

You won't need this anymore, right?

Clean out your locker and turn in your key.

Boss!

What?

What time did you say the flight was tomorrow?

Excuse me, Ma'am!

Can we get another bottle of soju over here?

Ok.

It's Ok.

Drink slowly.

I knew you'd be like this today so I didn't bring my car.

I asked her to take her cardigan off since it looked uncomfortable.

And what?!

She picks her own themes?

Whatever! Then she should take her own pictures!

But...

now they want me to be a paparazzi for that witch?

Fine.

I'm doing it.

Why shouldn't I do it?

Right?

Oh yeah, totally.

Who's Shin Ji-Soo?

She's the most capable person under the sun.

Whatever.

Hey.

You...

You said you'd do everything I wanted today, right?

Huh?

Let's go!

Let's go!

Where?

Where?

Well where do you want to go?

I don't know.

(Hotel)

You wish.

Hey.

Honestly, you got me drunk like this for that, didn't you?

So you could give it a shot, eh?

Excuse me.

I have these things called eyes.

Don't kid yourself.

Fine.

Today, I'll show you just how sexy I can be.

Let's go.

Hey, Shin Ji-Soo!

Ma'am, can I get the check?

Shin Ji-Soo!

What do you think?

Sexy, aren't I?

Yeah, you're really sexy.

Let's go.

Hey!

It's because I don't try. Truth is, these people aren't even competition.

Yeah, of course I know...

that when you're drunk, you lose your mind. Let's go.

Hey hey.

Try it.

Try it!

It's fun!

- Shin Ji-Soo, good girl. - Try it!

Just once!

You saw that, right?

Saw that one?

I didn't see it!

Let's go, Shin Ji-Soo!

Hey!

You're so ashamed, aren't you?!

You said you liked me.

And you can't even do this?

Go!

- Fine. Go! - All right! ok!

I'm fine. That's enough.

Fine? Whatever.

I'm not drunk. I'm Ok.

What's wrong with you?

Hey! ok, that's it.

Get on.

Are you ok?

Yeah, if you feel like it, vomit it all out.

If it makes you feel better, let it all out.

Are you a little better now?

Huh?

What's wrong with your face?

Who hit you?

What happened to you?

Are you sobering up now?

I asked you who hit you!

Hit me?

Do you think I'd let someone hit me?

I just tripped over a rock.

Ok. Right this way, please.

- You klutz... - Be happy I'm dense.

Imagine if I were smart. Would I be doing this?

Aren't you tired?

This is nothing.

Yeah right.

I miss Dong-Joo.

It would be nice if he were still alive.

It's today, isn't it?

Dong-Joo's anniversary.

You're scary.

What is?

I'm talking about you, idiot.

You get drunk and disoriented...

only twice a year at the most.

But without fail, you still know it's Dong-Joo's anniversary.

You did the same thing last year and the year before.

So?

Are you jealous?

Nope.

Really?

Yeah.

I have a small wish...

that Dong-Joo's alive somewhere...

so he can take your weight off my back.

Why you...

Hold on a little, Ji-Soo!

Are you ok?

Just hold on a bit, Ji-Soo!

Are you all right? Does it hurt a lot?

It'll be ok!

- Ki-Tae! - How've you been?

Good. What's wrong with Ji-Soo?

What about me?!

Something came up.

She's fallen asleep now.

Feed her this when she wakes up tomorrow.

And tell her I'll drive her to the airport. ok?

Man, Ki-Tae, you're so loyal.

What's there to like about my sister?

She can't cook. Her temper's a mess. Man...

You ran out of allowance money, eh?

Huh?

Here.

I don't know if I can accept this.

Thanks.

Ji-Seok, call me "big brother" once.

If you do, I'll give you another bill.

What?

Just do it once.

You're lonely, aren't you?

What?

My sister's cruel.

She drank alone and left you lonely.

Yeah so, with that spirit...

say it once nice and clear.

Big brother!

Clearly.

Big...

Man, I'm getting goosebumps.

Why are you all nervous?

Just add "big" in front of "brother".

Just say it once.

Big...

I can't do this.

Too bad then.

Big brother!

That's more like it.

Thanks Ki-Tae.

No, I mean big brother.

Ji-Soo, this is just... I...

It's late so you better get going.

Ok. I'll get going.

Ji-Seok, take care.

Yeah, take it easy.

Let's talk.

If you must discuss something, do it tomorrow.

Sit down.

Let's do it tomorrow.

I said sit down!

She's coming on strong.

Since when have you been getting money from Ki-Tae?

So I can't?

What can't I?

Hey Shin Ji-Seok!

You don't have the right to say that to me.

What?

What do you know about me?

My cellphone plan has been suspended.

I don't have money to buy a meal...

and when my girlfriend calls me to say she's coming by, I can't even answer.

Fine.

I won't get an allowance from Ki-Tae anymore.

Then it's all good, right?

But I'm not going to take allowance from you either.

What did you say?

I'll earn my own money!

I'll earn money and go to college.

And I'll raise enough to send you to study photography overseas.

Don't you realize how much it kills me to take an allowance?

And...

don't treat me like a kid.

Listen up.

Ki-Tae's a good friend of mine and like a brother to you.

But he's nothing more than that.

Understand?

Don't be ridiculous.

Then what relationship do you guys have?

Can't you see that Ki-Tae likes you?

It's torture when someone pretends they don't know you like them.

Or is it fun for you?

Watch what you say.

I also...

like Ki-Tae.

I want to lean on him.

Just like you said, it drives me crazy to do this to him.

But do you remember?

When I'd play the piano, you would play the violin.

And Mom would watch us and clap for us.

If I think about it now...

I see that our lives played out like a scene from a movie...

at one point in our lives.

However...

can't you see me enduring this with my teeth clenched?

No matter how hard it is, this isn't the answer.

I don't want to use the label "friend" to be baggage to Ki-Tae anymore.

Ji-Seok.

Let's...

be strong.

Please.

Mom.

Go sleep in your room.

Mom.

(Daeyoung Group, Reassessment Establishment Union)

Hello?

Boss.

What?!

Ji-Soo, eat some breakfast before going.

I'm late! I'm late!

Here.

Eat something with your girlfriend.

Jang Soo-Youn suddenly changed her flight time.

I also heard that the man she's meeting is flying in early too.

Go straight to the airport now!

Those jerks! Giving me so much trouble!

What are you doing? Get in.

How did you know that the flight was bumped up?

There's a way of knowing everything.

I must be getting a call.

Can you grab my phone from my pocket?

What's this?

You ran out without eating breakfast, huh?

I put it in my pocket so you could eat it while it's warm.

I keep saying it.

You're the only one who knows me so well.

What gift should I get for you in Japan?

Tell me if there's something you want.

Gift?

You should just give it to me now.

Now?

Just one that's really intense.

Why don't you just eat this?

Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying.

Joo-Gyung...

take some time off your job and help me out.

I need to rent a car and...

Let's talk about the details later.

Come out to the Kansai Airport, ok?

See you later!

Where'd she go?

Hello! Here's your passport and ticket and this.

Thank you. What's this?

It's the Japanese man's profile.

Oh yeah, the boss told me to tell you.

Take good pictures. Take at least one we can sell.

Bye.

Have a good day.

- Darn... - What's wrong?

Nothing.

Let's go.

I got it so you can use it in Japan.

Don't turn your phone off.

I'm sweet, aren't I?

Are you feeling better?

Me?

What was wrong with me?

I've known you for 15 years.

Don't try to hide it from me.

So are you sick of me?

I rather wish that were the case.

You little tease.

That's it. Smile like that even when you're sad.

ok?

All right. Go in.

Don't skip meals.

Take care.

Call me when you get there.

If you don't, I'll follow you to Japan.

Thank you, always...

You told me not to say thank you, huh?

So I'm sending it to you in text.

It's ok since it's written, right?

Please bring me something to drink.

Thank you.

I'm very sorry.

What should I do?

One moment, please.

You can always throw clothes away.

But don't throw away your self-confidence.

You can return my jacket later.

Please go ahead.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you!

It's sweet lavender.

Pardon?

Your shampoo, I mean.

Thank you very much.

I don't know how to thank you.

I really didn't know what to do.

Maybe I...

can buy dinner sometime?

When your car insurance expires would you mind giving me a call?

I'm sure you can see for yourself...

but it helps a lot in dangerous situations.

(2004 Japan)

(Name: Yamamoto Yuichi)

(Profession: Car Insurance Asia Marketing Head)

It's only a company we are dealing with in Korea.

There's no special reason.

The Korean Car Insurance market hasn't changed in 40 years.

It's a market where the internet...

infrastructure is well in place.

It is different from Japan.

In any case, for any global business...

it is critical to take the initiative online.

You have too much to say.

I don't feel justified that as your heir...

I get a 100 meter head start over everyone else.

However, if it's my place to start 100 meters ahead...

I think it's clear that I should be given a more difficult task.

Is there any other reason?

A reason we should start in Korea.

There is also no reason to avoid Korea.

Like you, Father.

This is not about feelings but hard data collection.

After the meeting, let's go see Mother together.

She will like that.

In the afternoon...

I have a prior engagement.

I see.

A date doesn't matter...

but don't make a scandal.

Especially with a well known actress.

Ji-Soo! Shin Ji-Soo!

Quiet! Let's go. Hurry!

Hey! So what's going on?

I'll tell you in the car.

Did you just arrive?

- The president's inside, huh? - Yes, she is.

- Take care. - Bye.

The silk pillows look too heavy.

Don't we have anything lighter?

They will arrive in a week, Madam President.

Replace these as soon as they arrive.

Yes, Madam.

Mom!

Just get here?

Hello.

What's wrong with your lip?

Ah, this is nothing.

Sir, I'm going to borrow my mother for a bit.

What are you doing?

You didn't even eat breakfast, did you?

I waited until the department store opened to buy it.

Eat up.

I heard you met the chairman yesterday.

What did he say?

He praised you...

for the company assessment, right?

Of course.

Well... what did he say?

What else? He said I did a good job.

And?

He didn't say anything else?

What are you so curious about?

What use is it if you only got praise? You need tangible results.

So why did you tell me to come?

Huh? Hold on.

Go to Sangchoong-dong.

It's his birthday today.

Oh, would you leave that...

and go find a charcoal pot cooker in the basement?

Ok.

What's all this at this hour?

Coming back from your workout?

Do you want some fresh juice?

I'm fine.

You must have a lot of work to do getting the gallery ready.

So can you just stick around doing this here?

What is it you want to say?

You haven't gotten married yet so isn't this a bit too much now?

If my brother was the son of a common household...

would you have done all of this?

If you're not going to help, then please leave.

You met through a set-up.

Can you feel connected so easily?

I'm not sure.

I guess someone who hasn't tried wouldn't know.

So truthfully, what do you like so much about my older brother?

No matter how close we are, please watch your words.

What did I say?

Older brother?

You only have one brother.

Goodness. Now I'm about to get indigestion.

Even when Mother was alive, she was never this contemptful of Ki-Tae.

If I'm a "young lady" to you, then Ki-Tae is a "young master".

- Young lady! - You have to acknowledge reality!

Ki-Tae is family.

Nobody thinks that way.

That's enough.

Let's drop it.

Oh yeah...

Isn't marriage different from shopping?

What do you mean?

I mean that making a return is a real pain in the behind.

It's not something I came up with.

It's just that a human life isn't the same as a grain of rice.

Ki-Tae.

When did you get here?

Hello.

Give this to your father.

What? You're already leaving?

Take care.

Ki-Tae.

Ki-Tae.

Eat something before you go.

I found out for the first time today.

What?

That you're on my side.

I'm not on your side.

I just don't like Yoon-Suh when...

Tell her not to worry.

In the future...

I'll never come to this house...

on my own two feet.

And you.

Don't give your future sister-in-law a hard time.

When Tae-Sung becomes the Chairman...

she'll be his wife.

Are you worrying about me right now?

See you around.

You're coming to the gallery tomorrow, right?

It's Yoon-Suh's first exhibit since coming home from overseas study.

Congratulate her.

Bye.

I'll go on ahead.

Get all the equipment and follow me.

Hey, watch out for yourself!

This is driving me crazy.

I'm in the hotel right now.

Would you come here?

Gosh, why's it so heavy?

Hold on!

Who's that?

The pretty kid in the center is me of course.

I can't take this.

So, did you get anything?

I think Jang Soo-Youn really loves that man.

So?

Will Jang Soo-Youn...

just get hurt?

You're off flying on your own cloud.

Well, it's all for the better then for a cruel witch like her.

But still...

That's not right.

We're all women.

You're crazy.

Did you follow her to be a bodyguard?

Don't forget that you're a paparazzi.

Yeah that's right but...

if it's all happening anyway, I hope that guy's a good man.

Hey, if you were planning on taking pictures secretly...

why did you bring so much equipment?

Even if I don't end up using them,

they're all useful.

These are long lenses and the tiny camera is in my bag.

Then who's going to carry around all this heavy stuff?

Don't you already know?

Hey Shin Ji-Soo!

Hey!

Did you have a safe trip?

Long time no see, Touru.

And Mother?

She is waiting inside.

Ok.

Yuichi!

Mother.

This is Canada.

This is the house...

where Anne of green gables lived.

And here is Anne's room.

This is the bridge where Anne and Diana met.

- It's just like you saw on TV, right? - Yes it is.

Please get well soon.

I want to go here...

with you, Mother.

I'm home.

This is what a home is like.

I thought...

I would never know this feeling.

I will never forget the person...

who gave me this special gift of life.

The one who gave a special gift...

is you.

When I saw your dying body along that river in Korea...

my heart trembled so much...

I prayed and prayed to God.

Please save this child.

If you would just save this child...

it doesn't matter what happens to me.

Why did you do that?

I...

There was nothing that I could do for you.

If a similar situation arises...

I will do the same thing.

You were not...

a son to me.

You were a man.

Raising you...

was the most special love of my life.

I see.

So that's why Father was jealous of me my whole life.

I love you, Keiko.

I missed you.

So you're going to Korea?

If you are against it...

I won't go.

Everything I could do for you...

I have already done.

When you go...

find your biological parents if you can.

Find the owner of that ocarina.

The ocarina that was gripped so tightly in your dying hand.

You still can't remember...

the village you lived in?

My friend's names, faces...

I can remember them all...

but I can't remember the village where I lived.

I must...

find it for you.

Don't worry about that.

You already did everything you could, right?

This isn't even an indirect tangent.

Why is she going out of her way like this?

It's always like this.

If the girl you like is coming to town, the airport's only a step away.

He must be a player.

ok, we're moving.

Huh? What's going on?

What's wrong with this?

What's wrong with this?

Come on!

They're going!

What's going on?

There's no gas.

Hey!

What should I do?

Hey! Shin Ji-Soo!

Hey! Where are you going?!

Hey!

Stop!

Stop right there!

Thief!

Holy cow! She stole it!

She just came to Japan and is already causing trouble.

Are you all right? Are you ok?

I'm fine.

I'm Ok.

Joo-Gyung, it's me.

I got on the hotel boat so don't worry about me.

Can't talk long but when we get back, let's meet in the parking lot.

Got it?

Before then, don't call me no matter what.

This is your first time in Kobe, right?

Yes.

Thank you for coming.

I'm grateful you invited me.

Would you like to see Kobe at night?

Yes, I would.

Right now is the best time to see the night view.

Oh really?

Oh no! What should I do?

Kobe has a magnificent night view.

It's best if you see it from the top of that mountain.

But the view is pretty good from a boat as well.

It's so beautiful.

I missed you, Yuichi.

I did too.

The ambience on this boat is wonderful like you.

That just made my day.

You must be very hungry.

Not really.

Allow me.

Is this yours?

No.

There's something I'd like to ask.

Would you answer me?

What is it?

What number girl am I to be on this boat?

Do you really want to know?

Do you want to be the first girl or...

do you want to be the last?

Both.

You're pretty greedy.

There's that saying...

"All men in the world want to be a woman's first man...

and all women in the world want to be a man's last woman."

I wonder who said it.

Who else could it be? Balzac, of course.

He's a total player.

He speaks Korean well too.

This is it!

It's right here!

- There's no mistake? - None at all!

Does the criminal live around here?

- Should we wait a little? - Let's do that.

- Shall we wait inside the police car? - Ok.

Oh no! What should I do?

Let's sit down.

There are a lot of good wines on this boat.

Would you like to choose one yourself?

Ok. I would.

Please guide her to the wine storehouse.

Yes, Sir.

Right this way.
