Original subtitles

Sang Sik.

I have a lot to tell you.

I don't want to hear it.

What do you mean?

I now understand why you haven't been able...

to tell me.

I also know that it's not just because of the guilt.

- Min Joo. - But...

what makes me mad is...

the fact that I,

despite all the circumstances,

like you.

Although you're an adult,

there are feelings you can't hide even if you try.

People call this...

love.

This man is hiding it as if it's a sin.

Love isn't something you can hide nor avoid.

I'm not sure how you found out about my feelings,

but I can't accept you.

On the day of the fire,

Eun Ho and I were helping people evacuate.

Eun Ho...

ran to the window maybe because he couldn't breathe.

I shouldn't have...

let go of his hand then.

You were trying to save him.

The fire started because of me.

We should have stopped the shoot, but we didn't.

I told you. No matter what I say,

it will sound like an excuse.

Sang Sik.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Do you know what kind of person Sang Sik is?

That day in the fire,

Sang Sik is the reason why...

your fiance Jang Eun Ho died. Do you understand?

What?

Listen carefully.

I had something urgent come up, so I told them to wait...

until the generator car arrives before shooting and left.

The generator car was delayed that day.

Sang Sik used the electricity on site without listening to me...

and that caused the fire.

So...

it wasn't an accidental combustion.

It was electrical overload.

Even if we were in a rush,

he should have waited until the generator came.

Sang Sik is the one that forced the shoot to happen...

while overloading the electricity.

Then...

why did they say it was spontaneous combustion?

Someone died. Eun Ho.

In order to avoid responsibility, they covered it up internally...

and controlled the media.

It had the perfect setting...

to blame it on spontaneous combustion.

How...

How could they?

Someone died.

How can they do this?

Of course...

liking someone and forgiving someone are different matters.

It's hard to imagine...

that someone like you who do things by the book...

and care immensely about safety...

would have done such a thing in the past.

Min Joo.

I'm sure you would have tried to save him.

You would have done your best in that burning fire.

It's none other than...

you.

It wasn't spontaneous combustion, but electrical overload.

I'm sure you had no choice since you were rushed.

You couldn't have stopped the shoot.

Even if I were you...

If it happened to me now, I would've done the same.

What you did...

wasn't a sin.

It was a mistake.

You probably didn't think there would be a fire.

Don't try to be understanding.

You should just resent me.

Question me if you must, and tell me to be responsible.

You can swear at me, scream at me and beat me.

No.

I trust you.

I can imagine how you lived after that.

You did...

as much as you could.

I don't expect her forgiveness.

We were meant to meet up.

She would have found out the truth...

sooner or later.

What if we had never met?

What if we had just brushed each other's shoulders...

and passed by?

(Second to Last Love)

Hey, are you serious?

Yes. We were chosen.

Great news, Mi Rae.

I knew you'd make it.

I'm so happy.

I'm lucky to have someone be sincerely happy for me.

Come here. That's a given.

I know how hard you worked.

Let me go.

Don't joke around with me any more.

What is it?

I'm not a guy.

Is it a special day or something?

It's to celebrate Jun Woo's return.

No. It's to celebrate Mi Rae on her drama.

Really? Congratulations.

Did you see that? She doesn't mean it.

What is this? Are you ratting me out since Jun Woo is back?

Have some breakfast before you go.

Jun Woo, come here for a minute.

Okay.

Keep eating.

What is it? Do you want to talk about something?

Are you all right?

Come on. I'm back because I'm fine.

I had some fresh air and got to clear my mind. Don't worry.

Good.

Did anything happen while I was gone?

No. Nothing much.

There should have been something.

I was hoping something would happen between you and Min Joo.

That's why I left.

Gosh.

Sang Sik.

It happened a long time ago.

You almost died trying to save him, too.

You even had to let go of your wife.

You had your share of suffering,

so don't feel guilty about it any more.

You already paid back throughout the years.

All right.

Thank you.

Gosh.

Great work, everyone.

Good work.

I had no idea the tables would turn like this.

Yes. I had given up, but it was worth all that effort.

I thought I might have to move with my kid to the countryside.

Your kid? Are you married?

Well, I was.

You didn't know, right? I know it's hard to tell.

I'm so full of surprises. I'm like an onion, you see.

By the way, I thought they were leaning towards Producer Han.

Why did they choose us?

That's true. I'm curious, as well.

I'm meeting the deputy mayor today, so we'll find out soon.

This is so pretty.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

You should thank Chief Ko.

The honour of Woori City almost hit rock bottom...

during this drama project selection.

However, thanks to Chief Ko,

he was able make the judgement process fair.

Jeong Sik hasn't changed.

He decided to partner up with a key judge named Professor Ma.

He wanted to make a deal with me since I was a strong candidate.

Like what?

He said he'd give me however much I ask...

if I handed in the same project to a different city.

As soon as I heard that,

I knew I wouldn't win.

If someone like him is planning something from the inside,

how can I possibly win?

They'll make me lose no matter what.

My goodness.

They applied somewhere else?

We took our time to judge and announce it.

I can't believe this happened on the day of our announcement.

Hurry up and post an apology.

We should select the runner-up...

from our final consideration list and announce it.

Our key judge Professor Ma rushed to check...

the next highest scoring project,

and it turns out to be an SBC submission.

SBC?

Here.

It's the submission from Producer Han Jeong Sik.

Yes, that's right.

- Song Yi. - Yes, Sir?

Can you prepare the files about the evaluation I asked for?

Yes, Sir.

(Judge Evaluation)

What is this, Chief Ko?

These are...

the original score charts made by the judges during the evaluation.

I have the originals. What are you talking about?

Here is proof that those originals...

were photocopied.

The employee number here belongs to Head Chief Shin.

September 24, 2016. 7:45pm.

After the evaluation was over,

Head Chief Shin photocopied the six originals.

How did you...

I paid extra attention...

in case of unfair judgement.

It was just as I had anticipated.

Unlike the scores written in the originals,

how can the fourth place project...

become the final winner?

I believe it would be best...

to announce the true winner right now...

in order to save our city's name...

and your honour from being disgraced.

Thank you.

I heard you unveiled the truth behind the screening process.

I'm amazed.

I only did my job.

Then...

what about the professor that was involved?

He stepped down from his post...

and is currently being questioned by the police.

Gosh.

However, Producer Han and Head Chief Shin...

They were involved, too?

Yes. I think the two of them...

have a higher chance of being dealt with internally.

There is no clear evidence. It's all circumstantial.

I guess I have to keep seeing him even if I don't want to.

I guess so.

You too.

When we start the project, you have to help us with the shoot.

Anyway,

congratulations.

Take care.

Did you watch a film?

Yes. Give it to me.

Who did you watch it with?

- A man. - Did you finally find a man?

No. He's just a student.

- A student? - From a long time ago.

He's a student from when I used to be a famous teacher.

That means he's not your student any more.

Of course not.

He grew up so well. He should get married soon.

Then he's a possibility.

What do you know?

After going home from a date,

don't send him any regular messages.

What?

Send him messages or pictures that could arouse his curiosity.

Keep away from messages that explain things in detail.

- Why? - The conversation will last longer.

If you keep it up, he'll call you.

Then you can start linking arms.

Gosh.

Don't hold his hand.

Both men and women are sensitive when it comes to hands.

Who are you trying to teach?

You should learn.

You're always getting dumped.

- I'm back. - I knew it.

I'm so proud.

No one else can get this except for Min Joo.

Don't you agree?

I'll be going.

Jeong Sik.

Why did you do that?

I'm talking about the drama project.

Do you want me to be honest?

When you first came here, you were my assistant.

Then you suddenly flew by me and became a star producer.

Everyone was trying to scout you.

What are you trying to say?

I wanted to beat you at least once.

I wanted to be respected...

at least once.

- Even if I had to cheat. - Jeong Sik.

The reason why I couldn't tell you about my divorce...

was because I thought you might find me uncomfortable.

I wanted to get your approval.

And when the time came,

I wanted to propose to you.

Propose?

It's all over now.

You found out what a coward I am.

You always came to my rescue...

whenever I was in trouble.

Why is it that I'm always...

such a pathetic colleague in front of you?

Gosh.

You took me off guard.

I had no idea you felt that way.

Jeong Sik.

This is still wrong.

Even if you want my approval and respect,

how can you do such a thing?

Just because you used to be my supervisor doesn't mean...

you have to be better. It's okay to be a coward sometimes,

but you shouldn't do anything wrong.

I'm sorry...

for being such a loser.

Chief Ko.

Why do you lead such a difficult life?

Haven't you had enough?

What do you mean?

Listen carefully.

Do you think I'll be ruined because of you?

It'll be a piece of cake to get rid of you.

Don't you know that I'm the head chief?

Try to get in my way again,

and I'll make sure...

you suffocate.

Suffocate?

Let's see who runs out of breath first.

The grape import company,

corruption behind the drama project,

poor ship repair, and what's next?

I'll get rid of you in one go.

Bang!

That little...

Are you working here then?

Yes.

How is acting class?

The instructor you introduced me to is really scary,

but I'm having a lot of fun.

It's different from when I was modelling.

I hope that's a sign of passion.

Me too.

I'm focusing on something other than Jun Woo.

I've never felt this way before.

Right, I saw the announcement from the city.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

If I'm lucky, will I get to appear in the Woori City drama?

I'm not sure. I think it's too early.

I don't mind even if I'm an extra.

It'll be meaningful for me.

This is my second home.

Is it?

I'm glad.

They asked me to stop sending money starting next month?

Yes. You had your account automatically set up...

for monthly transfers to donate,

but you'll have to stop the transfers to Happy Nursing Home.

Would you like for us to search on other possible charities?

No. I'll find out what happened first.

You're back.

Yes. Are you well?

Yes. How was it?

Good. I went up on mountains to collect herbs...

and swam in the sea to find abalones.

I even collected honey from a bee hive.

That sounds hard.

No, I enjoyed sweating it off.

Right, I heard you visited Ji Sun when she was in the hospital.

Yes.

Why are you looking after her?

I wanted to.

I went through something similar, so I couldn't ignore it.

However,

she looks better now. I'm so glad.

(Happy Nursing Home)

(Eun Ho's mother)

What makes me mad is...

the fact that I,

despite all the circumstances,

like you.

I'm sure you would have tried to save him.

You would have done your best in that burning fire.

It's none other than...

you.

Are you going to keep ignoring my calls?

Hey, Dok Ko Bong.

What's wrong with you?

You're nice one minute then you ignore me the next.

Is this how you keep several women around you?

When you become an adult,

there are many things that could hurt you.

Once you're hurt, the cut heals very slowly.

Unless you get used to the pain, you can't live on.

That's how old we are.

Are you telling me...

to get used to the pain...

and ignore the fact that I was hurt?

I'm the one that's hurt because of your busy schedule.

Will she come today or tomorrow?

You only call when it's convenient for you.

Do I have to pick up...

whenever you call?

Is that why you're mad?

I...

want to be alone right now. Please leave.

Go. I told you to leave.

Fine, I'll leave.

Gosh.

When precious moments are bestowed upon you,

don't question anything and just enjoy.

At our age,

there's no guarantee that we'll get to see the dawn of tomorrow.

Hello, Producer Kang.

- Hi, Min Joo. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello, Producer Kang.

- Hello, Producer Kang. - Hi.

Producer Kang.

Hey.

You're okay, right?

Yes.

Young Ae.

Yes?

What would you do if someone you care about tortures himself...

every time he sees you because of his past mistake?

That means I know his weakness,

so I'll use it to make him do whatever I want.

- What? - Or I'll tell him...

to forget all about the past.

If he is someone I really like and want to be with, that is.

What if it left a deep, unremovable scar in his heart?

Then...

being around each other could cause distress.

I think it'll be hard to continue seeing him.

Whose story is it? Are you thinking about our storyline?

No. Is this all?

Yes.

Are you really going to go with rookie actors?

- Why do you ask? - It's refreshing,

but I think it'll be risky.

She really came.

I'll be right back.

Who is it? Is someone here to see you?

Producer Kang! Hello.

What's up? Are you really here to see me?

Of course. Who else would I need to see?

Why? Is it because Producer Han didn't get the project?

I'm sorry.

My judgement was all clouded back then.

Please have a seat.

You said you only do films these days because dramas are more work.

What are you talking about?

Had it been the case, I wouldn't have worked with Producer Han.

Producer Kang, I really want to be in the drama about Woori City.

I'll work hard.

And let's be honest. It's not easy for a top actress like me...

to ask for such a favour directly in person.

Go ahead and leave if this is hurting your pride.

No, wait! I want to prove my loyalty.

- All right. - Is that a yes?

- You have to wait, though. - Pardon?

We picked a few actors through an audition,

so let's see how everyone mingles and nail down the roles.

That don't worry me at all.

I mean, they should be honoured to work with someone like me.

That obnoxious mouth.

Just watch that mouth of yours.

Okay. You're still so good at what you do.

You got the project even though it was extremely competitive.

Aren't I right?

(The First Woori City Drama, "Love and Cooking")

Please say hello. This is the deputy Mayor, Ms Na.

- Hello. - Hello!

Thank you all for your hard work. It's very nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm a fan of yours.

Thank you.

- This is the actress, Na Joo Yeon. - Oh, hello.

- Hello. - You worked so hard.

- Isn't she prettier in person? - Yes, she's stunning.

Isn't that Mr Ko Sang Sik?

- This is our chief cameraman. - Hello.

- I need to excuse myself briefly. - Sure.

Just a minute.

Producer Ko?

Aren't you...

Producer Ko Sang Sik of KBN?

You are, right?

Yes. How have you been?

It's you! My gosh!

It's been such a long time.

How many years has it been?

What brings you here by the way?

Oh, I work here now.

My goodness. I see.

I'm happy for you.

Do the two of you know each other?

Of course.

When I was in the KBN drama, "Paradise of the Youth",

Producer Ko was the assistant director.

- Is that right? - Yes.

You quit after the fire incident on set, right?

Well...

Thinking about that day still gives me nightmares.

That day, one of the members of the camera crew...

Gosh, what was his name? I can't remember his name.

Well, let's...

I'm sorry.

Excuse me for a minute.

Gosh. I guess he quit after that and got a job in the government.

Please come this way.

Sure. I'll see you all later.

- See you. - Bye for now.

Are you all right?

I guess some people still recognise you.

Don't let it bother you.

Things like this can keep happening...

until the drama production is over.

It can make both of us uncomfortable.

I'm okay with it.

I'm not okay.

Because of me, you'll be reminded of things that you struggled to bury.

You'll have to hear and explain things...

even though you're not obligated to do so.

Things like this can keep happening.

I said it's fine.

Hey!

- Who is he? - Is he your new boyfriend?

I'll see you girls later.

He's handsome.

What do you feel like eating? It's on me.

Pasta? Tteokbokki?

Tteokbokki?

Am I a kid or what?

You are. You're only 15 years old now.

You're not that much older.

Ye Ji.

Who is he?

Do you go to university?

Me? I'm in grade 11. Why do you ask?

What do you want?

We broke up.

Let's go.

Goodness. Why do I even worry?

He's a teacher, but he has no interest in his son's education.

I need to teach him a lesson.

(Wingless Angel)

Hello?

Hello. Who's this?

What is your name?

Why are you asking my name?

You've been selected as the winner of our promotion.

I'm not interested. Sorry.

Just a second, Ma'am.

You know Richard Park, right?

Yes.

He entered the promotion for you.

Don't tell him that we told you.

Really? What am I getting?

You can choose from health supplements,

a necklace set and so on.

Please give us your information including your name, age...

and address. We'll ship it out right away.

Really?

What are you doing, Ae Kyung?

Get in the car.

Okay, I'm coming!

Please give me your number. I'll message you the information.

I'm a little busy at the moment.

That was definitely Cheon Soo's voice.

What? What was her name?

What are you doing, Ae Kyung? Get in the car.

Get in the car?

Does she own an automobile repair shop?

Is she an automobile dealer?

What was the phone call about?

Nothing.

You're so mischievous.

What did I do?

Don't apply to things without telling me, okay?

What are you talking about?

Goodness. Forget it.

I think this one is better.

In my opinion, this car is perfect for you.

- I agree. - Get in.

Okay. You should sit in the front seat with me.

Really?

Yes.

It's cosy and nice.

I'd love to just take off...

like this right now.

That's nothing difficult.

I mean, it's not like you're married.

This car is very nice.

Why are you here again?

I told you to stop visiting me.

I saw these ripe persimmons on my way home.

They made me think of you, so I bought a few for you.

How can you still remember those things?

(Happy Nursing Home)

Yes, it seems so.

She made a request to stop receiving donations.

May I know why she made such a decision all of a sudden?

Her condition has worsened,

so she probably thought that she'd never recover.

Terminally ill patients awaiting death often make such request.

You should see her today since you're already here.

She has been wanting to meet you.

- It's okay. - You may not...

be able to see her the next time you're here.

Mother.

Do you remember this?

Of course.

Eun Ho was...

holding onto this in his final moments.

This bracelet.

I now know why he was holding onto it.

- What? - That day,

someone tried to save him...

and held his hand until his last moment.

This...

is his.

Really?

He tried to save Eun Ho's life?

Do you see the letters engraved right here?

Yes.

These are his initials.

Who is he?

Who tried to save Eun Ho's life in that situation?

His name is Ko Sang Sik.

Eun Ho used to work with him.

I see.

That's why...

That's why...

Eun Ho must've been so grateful.

That's why he was holding onto this.

Now I know.

I'm so glad that I got to find out what happened...

before I die.

Just a moment, please.

Ma'am.

Hello.

You have a guest.

Would you like to meet him?

- A guest? - Who is it?

He's been providing her with financial support for a long time.

Really?

He never came when I asked him to visit me.

Is he here because I told him to stop donating?

Yes, that's right.

Would you like to meet him?

Of course.

I've been wanting to know who he is.

I should meet him before I leave this world.

Please come in.

My gosh.

Hello.

It's nice to finally meet you.

Likewise.

I didn't know you had a guest. I'll visit you again another time.

Sang Sik.

Do you...

know him?

Yes.

Come in. Why would you leave like that?

I'm sorry.

You're very handsome.

You've been...

supporting her all these years?

Please come over here.

Let me see your face.

Thank you very much for everything you've done for me.

Please don't mention it.

I could not protect Eun Ho.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to visit you sooner.

That bracelet...

belongs to him.

Then is he the person who tried to save Eun Ho?

Yes, Mother.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You must've tried so hard to save my son's life.

That's probably why...

Eun Ho was holding tightly onto your bracelet.

I should've saved his life, but I failed.

I'm really sorry.

I don't even know how I should apologise to you.

Why didn't you visit me sooner?

I didn't know why my son died that day...

and why the fire took place on the set...

because nobody told me anything.

I apologise.

I should've been more responsible and explained everything to you.

I'm truly sorry.

I had no idea that you've been helping her.

I'm sorry.

At some point,

I started feeling so bad because I wasn't able to explain...

any specifics or details about the accident to her.

I got to let her know before she passes away.

She now knows that a wonderful guy tried to save her son's life.

I'm so glad.

Thanks for saying that.

But...

I chose not to tell her even though I knew...

how the fire took place. I regret not telling her the truth back then,

and I cannot forgive myself.

Don't think like that. You're a victim of the accident, too.

You managed to survive,

but you almost lost your life that day, too.

Back then,

I kept telling myself that there was nothing I could do.

But I felt like everything was my fault. When I saw kids...

falling on the street or when Ye Ji caught a cold,

I felt as though I was to blame.

I felt as if all the wrong and bad things in the entire world...

were caused by me...

and felt agonised every single day.

Here it is.

- Gosh, it's so pretty. - Try it.

It smells refreshing.

How is it?

It's tangy and sweet.

There's also a bitter taste at the end.

Really?

Did I put too much rum?

Gosh, it's so delicious.

Hey, this has alcohol.

Really? What time is it now?

- Where did the time go? - Why?

I want to go to a book store and pick up a few books.

Really? I'll come with you.

What? Why?

Why do you think?

I want to check out new cook books.

Really? Then give me a few minutes.

I'll go get changed.

All right.

This is an epic fail.

What are you doing? Are you done yet?

Just a minute!

Hang on a minute, okay?

I'll be quick.

What are you doing?

Why did you enter without knocking?

Do you want to stop by over there?

How did you know about this place?

You said we live to be impressed.

It's very beautiful.

It's really pretty.

I wanted to see it with you.

It's the festival season here these days.

You look great together.

Please take a look at the camera.

That's okay.

Why don't we take a photo together? It's beautiful here.

Please take just one photo, then.

Did you have a fight?

Sit closer and put your arm on her. Pull her waist closer to you.

That looks great.

Think about your first night together.

Think about your first kiss that night.

Remember that kiss. That's great.

That's good.

Excuse me, but get a little bit closer.

Yes, that's it. That's good.

You look very good right now.

In 2, 3.

You become an adult only after you falter 1,000 times.

Even after becoming adults, we struggle with mistakes,

faults and responsibilities.

We must endure...

a difficult period of regret.

Do we have to persevere a time of difficulty...

to become real adults?

You should have called me for help.

Here you go.

You'll be busy and won't have much time from now on.

I have a lot of time.

Since the drama got selected by Woori City,

you'll be busy at work.

In the drama, there's a male character who cooks.

Right, I've met him.

You can help out as a food stylist.

No thanks.

Don't try to get me involved in your work.

Why? We'll need a professional anyway.

Do you still feel uncomfortable...

around Producer Kang?

No.

Then why not?

I hope...

things work out between Min Joo and Sang Sik.

What are you talking about?

Shall we take a seat over there for a minute?

Okay.

You look like you have something to tell me.

It's about Sang Sik.

It's something painful that happened in the past,

but may I talk about it?

Sure, I'm all right.

It's about...

the fire accident.

That day,

Sang Sik also lost his wife.

If only Hui Soo had survived,

he would have taken responsibility for everything.

He lost his colleague...

and his wife on the same day.

If he had left the set a little earlier...

and met with Hui Soo as planned,

it wouldn't have happened.

Sang Sik and Hui Soo. They look pretty.

I'll get going.

I'll get going.

You'd better take care of your mum in the meantime.

Didn't you say you'll be off work early today?

Come by later. I'll buy you something delicious.

Let's buy a gift for our baby, too.

Okay.

- Hurry up and get out. - Hurry!

- Get out! - Hurry!

- Goodness, are you okay? - Oh, no.

- Oh, no! - Call the ambulance.

It's amniotic fluid embolism.

Prepare the operation and call her guardian.

Eun Ho!

Eun Ho!

- Sang Sik. - Let me go!

- Sang Sik. - Sang Sik.

I'm sorry. We tried our best.

Thankfully, the baby survived,

but your wife passed away due to amniotic fluid embolism.

You had a much harder time.

Why didn't you tell me?

What do you mean?

On the same day,

you lost your colleague...

and your wife.

While trying to save him,

you couldn't keep your promise with your wife, and so...

Did Jun Woo tell you?

Yes.

Why did you act like you were the only one who caused harm...

when you had to go through a much harder time than I did?

In the end, I couldn't save anyone.

I feel guilty for still being alive.

Don't you...

think about me at all?

If you think about me a little bit,

you could let go some of your past.

I also want to do that.

I thought I had forgotten about it, but...

Then that's fine.

Let's not talk about the past any more for each other's sake.

I don't have...

the confidence...

to keep seeing you as if nothing happened.

Should I leave him?

I want to hold onto her.

If I make him feel pain and suffer,

I should leave him.

Even if it's painful to look at her,

I want to hold onto her.

My gosh.

Aren't these...

What's going on?

I have something to tell you.

Do you think...

Cheol Soo and Young Hee lived happily ever after?

Whether they lived separately...

or together.

You're having a hard time because of me, right?

I'm the one to ask that.

I hope you'll be happy, Sang Sik.

Well then.

I'm leaving.

Don't try to know too much.

How can we let this go?

Hui Soo made these for Sang Sik.

How can Min Joo secretly drop off the bracelet that was missing?

Is it possible that he's dating Min Joo?

No, right?

- Who cares even if that's the case? - What do you mean?

Jun Woo.

You were romantically involved with her.

She can't be with Sang Sik. I'm against it.

Why?

We should accept it if Sang Sik likes her.

Accept what?

My goodness.

What's going on?

It's nothing.

What is it?

What are you hiding from me?

Let me see.

Didn't Mum make this?

Why are there two of them?

I moved here because I wanted to be happy.

Certainly, there were many happy moments.

However, I realised that for his sake,

I could no longer stay here.
