[Shin Doyoung Likely to Win Asian TV Festival Grand Prize]

[Shanghai]

Shin Doyoung is Korea's most popular announcer.

Every time I watch these award shows, I always wondered.

How does that trophy feel, how heavy is it?

Today, I finally found out.

It's heavier than expected, and it feels great.

Thank you, everyone!

I'd like to thank the two people I love most in the world

for teaching me how to dream and how important believing in yourself is.

I'd like to dedicate this award to my parents. Thank you.

They want to do an interview here in 30 minutes.

Man, I wanted to do it first.

Do you have to clean up the room?

No, don't. Let's just leave it.

- They're all foreign stations, right? - Yeah.

Let's go.

Let's put the ambassador's flowers up front.

I'll order more balloons, too.

Okay.

Are your parents here?

No.

Welcome. Sorry the room is such a mess.

She is so catty.

I've decided to donate all the money to less fortunate families.

I'm not trying to be nice. I just think kindness is always repaid.

If I can help when I can, I'm sure I'll receive help sometime later.

Boyfriend? Of course I do.

- Thank you. - Well done.

Mr. Kim Junse, will you grant us an interview?

There's a rumor that you've already started your next project.

We also heard it's called "Poseidon." Is it about the shipbuilding industry?

There are other rumors saying it's something totally different.

If I tell you all of this, where would the fun be?

Good day.

Sir!

I'm on my way to the airport.

Don't decide on anything before I make a move.

And I think it would be a good idea not to take on the Taiwan deal.

Those are items that have been rolling around for the past 2 years.

Don't be fooled because they've just repackaged everything.

I'll decide when I return. Yes.

[Shin Doyeong's Wonder Woman Show]

Alright, jackpot!

This is where the MC stands. Please make the lighting good. Thank you.

We have a big problem!

Doyoung was in an accident. She's in an ambulance right now.

What?

She went to the TV special for the less fortunate.

The outdoor stage collapsed and a few people were injured.

She was covered in blood and was raced out of there.

How hurt is she? What about our live show?

Men always jump to conclusions.

Doyeong is reading the edited script right now.

She was raced to the hospital.

She called from the ambulance to ask for the script.

You said she was covered in blood!

She'll probably wipe it off.

Hun, my shin is all scratched up.

Change my outfit to pants. I just received my script now.

I'll be there in 30 minutes.

You have to go to the hospital first.

You stopped the bleeding, so it's fine. Thank you.

No, first you have to...

Thank you so much for understanding.

The guests we have here today are very special people.

Of course we have special people on every week,

but this week, especially...

My dear neighbor...

I've picked someone who sent a letter to "My Dear Neighbor" segment.

I am so proud of all of you.

We're having a sale right now.

If you come once, it's Lindsay Lohan. Come twice, it's Jessica Alba.

We have some beautiful summer clothes, so all you pretty girls, come!

Men are welcome, too!

You can see them right away. Please come.

Please come to our store. There you go.

Come and buy your girl a present. We'll give you a deal.

Hey! Stop right there!

Move! Move!

Man!

Hey!

Hey, stop following me!

Let's just see who wins this!

The outfit is ready, right? Let's hurry and rehearse.

Take a breather and have a look at the edited script.

I memorized it on the way here.

Are you going to carry that during the rehearsal?

Yeah. I lost a lot of blood, so without this, they said I'd die.

Let's rehearse.

Give me my money.

You saw me handing out leaflets, right?

I work at my friend's store just to make ends meet.

I need that money to get merchandise at the Dongdaemun Market.

How dare you...

Don't live your life like that.

Give me my money!

I can't breath.

The rice cakes I ate when I was five are coming back up.

Take this!

It seems like you're having some problems, so I won't report you.

Man! Nothing!

You may not believe me because I look really classy, but I used to be thugged out.

Look at my hairstyle. Isn't it crazy?

If you don't want trouble, drink that, give me my money, and get lost!

Give me the cap. Give it to me!

Nothing again!

Hey! Stop right there!

Hey!

Wait.

Get up. Get up!

Go to the police station to get your ID card back.

I was wrong. Please forgive me.

- Forget it. I'm taking all of this. - That's my money!

I need to get compensated for all this! What is this?

Hey!

My nose!

Excuse me! I applied online and was picked today!

Can't you let me in? Hello?

I'll begin today's show with some breaking news.

You all know, right?

Because of you, the Wonder Woman Show won the grand prize at

the Asian TV Festival!

Always encourage and always praise.

No matter what happens, you never give up.

Our show started with such stubborn ideals.

In that time, we cheered people on and helped people in times of need.

Last weekend, a lot of you attended the award show bazaar. Thank you.

The money we raised that day will be given out

to our audience members, who were chosen as our dear neighbors.

Let's chant the Wonder Woman Show motto and open the show up together!

One, two, three!

You are my dream! The world is yours!

If it weren't for him, I could be receiving that right now.

Eat up and then break the table.

Give me my food. Hurry.

You are my dream. The world is yours.

Can anyone take it? You think it's that easy?

Still, Shin Doyoung is so cool.

Do you want to go on something like that?

What do you mean?

A show that finds people for you.

Just yesterday, someone found their mom after 20 years.

After working here for 40 years, I learned a few things about people.

You didn't just come from some common family.

You should go on one of those shows.

This is too salty! Why is it so salty? Did you get dumped or something?

You act like that whenever I mention your parents.

Fine. Don't look for them.

- Good work. - Good work.

You know there's a group dinner tonight, right?

Of course. That's what I've been waiting for.

- I'll see you later. - Bye.

- Good work. See you later. - See you soon.

Don't you have to go to the hospital first? You look pale.

I'm fine.

Wait. Sit down.

If I don't go, the atmosphere gets awkward. I'm fine. Let's go.

Look at this.

Who wants to watch a late-night movie with me?

Come on in, Shi-eun. I've been listening to your radio show.

And?

If I request a song, you'll play it, right?

We'll see.

That's why her ratings are in the negatives. She's the worst.

What was that?

Nine o'clock news anchor, Yi Sejin, Wonder Woman Show, Shin Doyeong,

Classic Odyssey's Jo Seonhui.

They're all really successful. You're the only one without a main show.

That's all because of your rude attitude.

Don't you know how many people listen to her program?

Who would listen when it's on at 4:00 a.m.?

Shi-eun, we're all having dinner. You should come along.

We'll have a glass of beer and then go see a late-night movie.

No thanks.

Come on.

Why would you watch it with me? What about your boyfriend?

He's in Hong Kong right now. I'm lonely.

Don't worry about Eunbi and let's play.

We're going to a really nice place today.

Where?

Give me a second. Let me just change.

I heard Shin Doyoung fainted. Is she hurt?

They did emergency resuscitation on her, but she needs to rest.

We can't just move her.

Isn't this line a bit getting carried away?

How should I know? The Celeb Street writer faxed it to me.

If you don't like it, go complain to the writer.

Camera. Camera.

Though the outdoor set collapsed and she was injured,

Announcer Shin Doyoung was able to continue her live show

but collapsed afterwards and shocked those around her.

She is truly a professional.

She is currently recovering after undergoing emergency surgery.

Please say a word to your fans.

I'm okay. I'm sorry for making you worry.

What is this? I always feel like I'm being used.

Junse called.

He said he read about you on the Internet in Hong Kong.

He was really worried. Call him later.

Okay.

He is just so in love with you.

What about from home? No calls?

No.

Okay.

Hello. I'd like ten of your newest item.

Give me a discount. You're just so cute.

No way. No.

Come on, hook me up.

Not again.

Is this really from the Dongdaemun Market?

People would believe you if you said this was from Paris.

That's because I have such great taste in clothes.

What's with your face?

I got into a little bit of a tiff with a pickpocket.

A pickpocket?

I caught him, beat him up, and took all his money.

Pickpockets should watch who they steal from. I feel bad for him.

I said I wouldn't report him and just asked for my wallet. I even gave him juice.

But he turned on me. So I got him back double.

You are so driven by revenge.

Isn't this color great?

Saweol, you need to change your hair.

When I see you at night, sometimes I get scared.

You need to look like this in order to make it at the market.

How lovely and kindhearted do I look? Tell me.

That's not funny.

Let me borrow this outfit for a day.

Did you get a date for the interview? Have you applied yet?

I'm going to a wedding.

The wedding will begin shortly, so please take your seats.

Jang Seo-im. Congratulations!

You haven't forgotten me, have you?

It's me, Yun Saweol.

The orphan who got kicked out of school because you told everyone I was a thief.

It's been a really long time, hasn't it?

Can you leave now? I don't remember inviting you.

Don't be nervous. I'm here to congratulate you.

It's a small world.

Last year, I saw you at the restaurant I was part-timing at.

If not for your business card, I wouldn't have recognized you.

You got too much work done.

The groom's family seems loaded.

Excuse me!

Why did you do it?

I heard you blamed it on me and took the money to go clubbing in Seoul.

Get out.

Because of you, my life became this much harder.

But we were young, so I think I'll be able to forgive you.

If you apologize to me from the bottom of your heart.

Get lost. Do you hear me? Get lost!

If you apologize, I'll pay my $50 congratulatory money,

eat at the reception, and leave.

The food is $70 per head. Who do you think you are?

Get out before I call someone over.

You look really pretty today.

Have a good life, my friend.

What's that?

I can't believe this.

Why are there so many people I want to see today?

My mom... My dad...

My sister...

[Go! Hong Kong!]

I respect my mother the most.

She's a professor at an arts college.

She'd sculpt me growing up from when I was young.

Someday, I'll get married and become a mother myself.

I want to be the kind of mother to them my mom was to me.

The more I see you, the more I think you look like your mother.

You really are beautiful.

You're being too kind.

Professor Choi Jeonghui, what did you eat when you were pregant with Doyoung?

I'm not sure. Not anything special.

When Doyoung was young, her nickname was General Apple.

She loved apples.

You should have told me earlier.

I would have eaten a lot of apples and became successful.

Apple factories are going to start selling out after today.

And you used all that award money for a good cause.

Professor Shin Suho, what does one have to do to have such a great daughter?

I'm not sure.

You were great. It's actually tiring having such a great daughter.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Have a safe trip back.

Thank you for doing this.

Do you really have to call us when you want to show off?

Why are you being like this again? You were fine a minute ago.

Don't make us do this again.

Who are you to make us sing and dance for you?

I shouldn't have, mom. I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Don't worry about it. You know how your mom is.

I'm okay.

Good. Oh, where was the dinner appointment again?

The Oriental Hotel. I'll see you later.

Okay.

What's with that look on your face?

You're here early.

Let's go.

Try to lighten up.

You look best when you look glamourous and confident.

Why?

Because you're my woman.

Did your business trip go well?

Yes, everything went smoothly.

Next week, I report for work at the department store my father advises.

I guess he's buying some other places?

Yes. But it's still a secret.

You two met during an interview, right?

Yes, that's right.

That's why I always ask her not to interview anyone cuter than me.

Why do you like Doyoung so much?

She's pretty.

Why do you like Junse?

Because he tells me I'm pretty.

Nice and simple.

Mr. Kim said this was a special dinner.

Will you marry me?

Of course.

What a show. That's something you could've done in private.

Congratulations.

I'd like the wedding to be sometime in the fall.

Do we have your blessing?

Of course you do.

Let's make a toast.

Cheers.

Why aren't you answering?

I don't know the number. I don't need to answer it.

It's annoying me. Pick it up.

Hello?

Hello?

Shin Doyoung?

Yes. Who is this?

Hello?

I guess the package I sent hasn't arrived yet.

I was waiting for your call.

I'm sorry, but who is this?

It's your mom... Your real mom.

I'm dying soon.

Before I do, I'd really like to see you.

Do you think you could come here to see me?

Why did you just hang up like that?

It was a prank call.

Hello.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

It's an engagement ring from Tashanni.

I'm sure he proposed to her.

Isn't Doyoung just perfect?

A good family, good-looking, good education... She lacks nothing.

And she even has a cute and rich boyfriend.

I envy her so much.

She purposely tried to snag Junse.

I mean, he didn't even fit the show, yet she interviewed him.

You know that I was the one who first wanted to get him for the show, right?

If you did, do you think you would've actually gotten him?

Why does Doyoung get everything? Why?

- Good morning! - Hello.

I guess the package I sent hasn't arrived yet.

I was waiting for your call.

Excuse me. How long has this been here?

Since the day before yesterday.

What is it? It looks like it's from another country.

I think it's from a fan.

The day you were born was a warm spring day.

Your father and I met at a factory.

He was a very hard-working and kind man.

He was falsely accused of a crime and went missing.

Before that happened, I was the happiest woman in the world.

I struggled to be able to survive with you.

But one winter, I collapsed while carrying you on my back.

I thought you'd die at that rate, so I left you at a nursery.

I was going to take you back once things got better for us.

But...

I think we're doing the best.

We'll show you how it works. Take a look.

Start the music!

Why is she exaggerating so much?

I don't know. She submitted a proposal for a program abroad.

What?

I think I'm going to go on a business trip to Hong Kong.

It won't be long. About five days.

Don't work too hard and be sure to eat well.

Of course. I eat well wherever I go.

What shall I buy you as a gift?

It's okay.

You seem to like this. Eat up.

Something good must have happened to you.

- Doyoung. - Yes, mom?

Jiyeong is coming soon.

Stop it.

Professor Song told me about a great psychic.

I went and he was right about everything. I got goosebumps.

Stop it!

You should listen, too.

Our Jiyeong is living in Seodaemun in Seoul.

He said before this summer ends, she'll come back to us.

Will you snap out of it!

Doyoung, don't you want to see her? Your sister, Jiyeong?

When she comes back, we can be a really happy family.

He said the people who took her will change their minds.

They'll send her back to us.

Wouldn't it be great if Jiyeong could be at your wedding?

Of course it would.

You're my mom?

That's so pretty.

This is great.

That jacket's from Causeway, the shoes from Magnolia.

The bag is from Charlize Fall/Winter. She's fast.

The blouse is Seekli Won, and that suit's from Stanley.

He's in a Stanley Suit? Wow, he's cool.

The dress is from Lovelypa. I wish I could try on the Arena sunglasses.

What's that?

Loussang Beluna.

What? A fake?

But you're beautiful! Really wonderful!

We've been friends for over 20 years.

She's waited every day for a special guest to arrive from Korea.

Are you a distant relative? Poor thing. She's getting through it day by day.

Treat her well so she can go in peace.

My baby... You're here...

My baby...

I want to see you up close.

My little munchkin's face...

Do you need money?

Forgive your mother.

I've missed you my whole life.

Here... It's all worn out.

My baby, Hansuk...

I took a character out of your dad's and my name to make yours.

Hansuk...

When I heard you were adopted to a rich family,

I decided not to take you back.

I figured that would be better than having you suffer with me.

But I was always around you.

Jiyeong, be careful. Good.

Let's go out with your mommy and your sister, okay?

Jiyeong, do you want me to carry you? Okay.

One, two. My Jiyeong has grown so much.

You don't have an umbrella? Use this.

My daughter borrowed an umbrella from her friend and already went home.

Go on.

Thank you.

Do you remember that umbrella?

It was red...

With white polka dots and a yellow ribbon...

Yes, yes...

I'm dying soon.

I wasn't able to raise you in this world,

but I'll protect you from up there.

So don't worry about a thing.

I'll look after you.

I'll take on all of your sins.

Since it's all my fault.

I'll take on all the punishment.

So forget about that.

After that, I left Korea...

Because I couldn't stand it.

Because I made you like that.

That day, I followed you.

I saw it all. I saw everything that day.

Jiyeong, I'll be right back. Wait here.

No. I want to come with you.

I'll be back soon. Stay right here. I'll get you some chocolate.

No.

I'll give you this.

Look at this and just wait here.

You have to hurry, okay?

Okay. I'll be right back. Stay right here.

Come back soon!

Okay. Just wait right there.

I'm the one who sent letters to your house.

In order to protect you, I sent fake letters.

I said I took Jiyeong.

If you meet her, you have to be good to her.

You have to be good to her.

It's all because of me.

I'll take on all of your sins.

Don't go.

Don't die!

If you're really my mom, don't die!

Mom!

Mom.

Mom...

Why are you so cruel?

You threw me away and lived 30 years...

Just to show up and then die?

You followed me that day?

Mom...

Mom...

Are you awake now?

Where am I?

- Hey! - What?

Why am I here?

If it weren't for me, you'd be dead.

It's not good to sleep in the streets.

You can't throw up there!

Over there.

Will you be careful?

Hey.

I'm busy. Can't you see that I'm setting the table?

I don't really remember. Can you tell me what happened?

Why should I?

You were drunk and passed out on the street and I picked you up.

Check your wallet. I didn't touch a thing.

Try and ease your stomach with this.

I went to a Korean supermarket just to buy bean sprouts.

I'm busy, so eat up and leave.

That's gross.

Yes, sir.

I haven't sent you the rent yet, right?

It's killing me, too.

Oh, man. Even if I jump in the river, I'm just too good a swimmer.

Something just came up.

I'll pay the rent within the week.

I promise.

I'm sorry.

What? You think I'm cute?

You're a hearty eater.

Sorry for bothering you.

Take this.

It's okay. The bean sprouts weren't that expensive.

It seems you're short on your rent.

Use this and stop hiding behind your pride.

Go.

I know how to keep a secret, so don't worry.

You don't look that great in person. You have lots of freckles.

Is your mother sick?

You kept calling for your mom in your sleep.

That's why I carried you here.

I called out for my mom?

Yes.

You looked sad.

Only amateurs cry just because something is sad.

Aren't you the most professional person in Korea?

Most respected person among female university students.

I did an Internet search of you last night.

Can you call me a cab? I have an important meeting today.

Cabs don't come to this neighborhood.

I'm going to wash it, so you can throw up in that.

I'll be your driver today.

If you throw up in a taxi, it'll show up on the Internet.

Thank you for today. I'll buy you dinner.

Are you okay now?

My stomach is much better now. I'm fine.

Not that.

I don't know what, but you seem to be going through something pretty rough.

But you just seemed like such a happy and bubbly person.

I'm not sad about anything.

Just think about what you want to have for dinner.

Look here.

I'm thinking. Stop disrupting me.

I want some mackerel.

Not that.

Cold kimchi noodles with broth.

Not that, either.

That's all I got.

Then take the money.

What's with you? Can't you just accept kindness from someone?

If you insist, then can you go and find someone in Seoul for me?

Find someone?

Her name is Yun Saweol. She grew up with me at a nursery.

A nursery?

Yes. I grew up there. I have no parents.

My mom died when I was three.

And my dad sent me to an orphanage so he could remarry.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm a bit too handsome for a guy who grew up in an orphanage, right?

I don't know about the handsome bit, but you are bright.

Saweol is brighter than I am. Please find her for me.

She's three years younger than me. She's a friend and also my first love.

I'll try my best.

If you're jealous, you don't have to look for her.

No, I'll be sure to find her.

I'll find her no matter what it takes.

You'r making me more suspicious with your exaggerations.

I'm very curious about who could be brighter than you.

Thank you. I feel great all of a sudden.

Is Saweol an orphan, too?

I'm not sure. She came to the orphanage when she was five.

I don't think she remembers much before that.

If her parents abandoned her, or whether she got lost...

That's too bad.

You'll be surprised when you meet her. She's just really cute and happy.

I'd really like to find her.

And her name even means April.

Why did you throw me away?

I would have succeeded even if I had grown up poor.

I would have come this far with you by my side.

What's the use of being the daughter of professors?

I don't have a mother who loves me...

Did you look through there and think of me, mom?

I can't fulfill your dying wish.

I don't want to see her until the day I die.

If she comes into my life again,

I'll just push her off a cliff.
