Original subtitles

Is what you just said

really true?

Did my dad...

Was the man who saved Kim Joo-won

really my father?

You said it yourself.

That your father saved many lives.

Joo-won just happened to be one of them.

Don't try to attach any meaning to it.

I'll compensate you with money.

I'll compensate you with more than enough.

I'll compensate you with as much as you ask.

So please, don't drag Joo-won down because of this.

Please

let him go now.

I beg you.

Please.

I will do whatever you want.

Whatever it is, I'll give you more. Please...

Just not Joo-won.

He is not for you.

Please.

Please. I beg you.

Answer me.

Don't you see me begging you?

I just said I would compensate you.

I will compensate you for your father's death.

You just saw how low I stooped.

If I were you, I would agree just to get rid of me!

How could you still be crying?

Do you wish to know what it feels like to truly lose everything?

Don't let your father's life go to waste.

End things with Joo-won without hurting him.

Once you've ended it,

come to me for your money.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

You're Mr. Tough Guy, aren't you?

That's why Director Lim likes me.

Hey, Joo-won.

What are you doing here at this ungodly hour?

This ungodly hour is the perfect time to see my Ra-im.

Why isn't she here? Isn't the shoot over yet?

Did Ra-im have a shoot?

Not that I know of.

What do you mean?

I heard there was an additional scene.

Is that true?

Then we would've known about it.

Stop crying.

Gil Ra-im!

I think President Kim is here.

I'll go wash my face.

Don't say anything. Okay?

Geez, you dummy.

Hello, sir.

Is Ra-im here?

She's in the bathroom. Come in.

What are you doing here all of a sudden?

Did you do well at the shoot?

I have to if I want to get paid.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Shouldn't you offer me tea or something first?

I'm so forgetful. Would you like a hot cup of green tea?

-Do you have coffee? -Sure.

What about fruit? Do you have fruit?

We don't have fruit...

Then I'll have that.

Don't just stand there. Go buy some.

We told you we don't have any.

I'll go buy some. You guys can talk.

Stay, A-yeong. I need to ask you about Mr. Kim.

What about him?

What kind of fruit?

Anything tropical.

-It's about Ra-im actually. -Excuse me?

Ra-im left during the middle of our date saying she had to go to an urgent shoot.

But there was no shoot.

I just checked with the action school.

Where did Ra-im go after lying about the shoot?

I'm not sure.

I came home and she was here.

I doubt that.

It's probably because it's the anniversary of her father's death today.

She's usually down on this day.

Is that what she told you to tell me?

Where is the nearest fruit vendor?

Why are you crying?

You can't cry after lying.

You lied that there was a shoot,

and now you're crying out here in the cold!

Did my mom come by again? Is that why?

Tell me.

She did, didn't she?

It's not that.

It's not that...

It's just that the prices have gone up so much.

There's nothing to buy.

Why did you have to ask for such expensive fruit?

I'm broke.

Why ask for expensive fruit?

Stop crying!

Don't you know how much uglier an ugly person is when they cry?

Your face is ice cold.

You know this is expensive, right?

Never forget how expensive this scarf around your neck is.

I'll buy the fruit next time, so go home.

Don't think about anything, and just go to sleep.

Where are you going?

You're not going to tell me, so I'm going to find the person that will.

Don't. I told you it's not that.

It's not!

Please don't.

She went to Ra-im's house, didn't she?

Answer me.

I can't beat the answer out of someone who works for Mom.

She went to Ra-im's house, right?

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything.

I just said I couldn't beat the answer out of you in a very intimidating way.

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything.

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

Where is my mom now?

She had a lot on her mind, so she went to Hong Kong.

And yet you didn't go with her.

Excuse me?

-Well, I-- -It's fine.

I'm guessing she doesn't wish to see me. Tell her that is fine with me.

Tell her that I'll do as I please now.

If she's already listening, then that's even better.

Look how smart he is.

He takes after me.

Have someone follow the girl 24 hours a day.

He says he'll do as he pleases,

so I should at least watch.

Yes, madam.

Han Tae-seon is leaving Korea today.

Really?

So that's what he's going to do.

No woman I ever met played this hard-to-get.

-What? -What?

No, what I mean is...

Why are you telling me about him anyway?

Because you wanted him enough to follow him to Jeju Island.

Is he that great?

If I say he is, will you glare at me again?

He is that great.

Don't.

Where are you going?

The only great person to me right now is Han Tae-seon.

Hey!

I rushed over here because I thought we would be talking about us.

Thank you for telling me about Tae-seon.

But I would like to hear about us, too.

You really can't forgive me?

If you give me another chance, I know I can do it right.

I know that my crimes are heinous.

So can't I get sentenced to be with you for life?

Cling on to me then.

-What? -Cling on to me.

Cling on whenever you see me.

Then I'll consider it.

Really? You're serious, right?

I'm really going to do it.

I'll cling on with all my charms.

Like this!

Where do you think you're going?

I told you to think about it, not run away thoughtlessly.

And why are you taking a boat to China?

Then would I ride a cab?

Can't you act with common sense?

I went all the way to the airport!

If I acted with common sense, I would make music like yours.

Give me my MP3 player.

You think that's why I'm here?

I told you to come fetch it.

It was full of music that you wrote.

What were you going to do if I stole it?

-But you won't. -How do you know that?

You don't have the guts.

You little...

I'll cut to the chase. Let's write a new contract.

I said no.

Stop holding out already.

What? Are you shy?

I know.

You were probably shocked when I said I would take you in.

So I was thinking. Can you take me in?

-What? -Let's write a new contract.

Take me under your wing. Be my producer.

Help me out here. Be honest. You want to help me.

Why keep hiding it?

I love your songs. Give them to me.

The songs in here. You wrote them for me.

Even the file name is "Oska." So give them to me.

Get lost. I have to get on the boat.

Seriously!

You don't want to produce me? Fine.

How about if I'm produced by you? Sound good?

You really have no sincerity.

-I hate it. -You sure have a lot of things you hate.

How are you going to succeed like that?

Come here. You need to be tied up.

What are you doing? Are you crazy? Let me down!

You should've listened when I asked nicely.

Do I look like I'm enjoying this, you pain in the butt?

I'll compensate you with money.

I'll compensate you with more than enough.

So please don't drag Joo-won down because of this.

End things with Joo-won without hurting him.

Once you've ended it, come to me for your money.

This is the action school.

What do you mean by that?

You got the part for Dark Blood.

I did?

But I missed the audition. How?

You should thank Joo-won.

What?

He sent a private jet to Japan and flew the director here.

They decided on you after watching you on set.

Please believe in me.

I'll make that miracle happen.

A private jet?

He's really on a different level.

He's not interested in men, is he?

I would like to go out with him.

Congratulations.

Director, I'll be right back.

Our goal is to make this place a must-see site

for tourists from all over Asia, including Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong.

Currently, we are holding an event

where you wish upon a star by placing your hand over a star's handprint.

The promotional clip will be completed by next week as well.

It's a nice idea.

If I place my hand here and wish sincerely for you to fall over...

-Sir! -Oh my goodness!

I think this place will be thriving by next month, not in a year.

You have a call.

It's an important call, but you left your phone behind.

Is it my mom?

Hey, it's me.

Are you busy?

No.

All right. Go on now.

Where are you? I called you before, but you didn't pick up.

I was shooting.

I'm in Cheonan.

The day and night scenes are mostly dissolves,

so don't be mad if I can't pick up.

Are you lying again?

Let me speak to anyone standing near you.

I'm not lying.

I can't talk for long right now,

so I'll get straight to it.

You see,

a miracle has happened.

I passed that audition.

You did? You passed?

That's my Ra-im. So cool.

And that cool girl is my girl.

I heard about everything.

You sent a private jet?

Come on.

You think that's why you passed?

Are you a dummy?

That director watched you for five minutes.

You're the one that made the miracle happen in five minutes.

Where are you going?

How did you know?

I just did.

Your surroundings sounded different.

Why does your voice sound different?

Are you crying?

I'm just so happy for passing.

Sorry,

but I have to go film.

All right.

Don't get hurt, and hurry back.

Bye.

Ra-im?

Did something happen?

Why are we here?

I've always wanted to come here once.

You come to places like this often, right?

Yes.

Sometimes just to look, sometimes to buy.

I see.

Are you going to tell me what's going on?

What do you think of when you look at paintings like these?

Other than recognizing it's a Picasso, or that I've seen it in a textbook,

what am I supposed to feel?

What's going on?

I told you that I want to help.

You told me that you and Joo-won

live with much of your lives on display.

On the other hand,

I am a stuntwoman who shines the most

when no one can see me.

Joo-won and I

are that far apart.

It's like standing next to each other and yet being worlds apart.

I didn't think that it would be easy,

but this issue is too predictable.

I didn't give him up for this.

The problem isn't between you two, it's outside factors.

And yet you're going to leave him?

Were you always this indifferent?

If you're too far apart, then run to him.

If you can't feel him next to you, then hold onto him.

Even if it makes things difficult for Joo-won?

Is that what the problem is?

I guess

there is no such thing as easy love.

What? A private jet?

He chartered a private jet because she missed her audition?

What a clever girl.

She has him completely wrapped around her finger.

That's right. I chose the wrong target.

I shouldn't have gone after her.

-Leave. -Excuse me?

Yes, madam.

LOEL MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS

Hello.

Thank you.

Happy New Year to you too, Chairman Park.

Do you have time for dinner tonight?

I have a favor to ask of you.

I welcome you to Loel.

Thank you. We have high expectations as well.

And you should.

Please recommend a jacket that would look good on me.

Please, you don't have to. Your visit is more than enough.

This is a long time tradition of ours.

"Anyone can bring flowers.

Instead, be their very first customer."

How about this one?

Would you like to try it on?

-I like it. I'll take this one. -Hello?

What? What did you say?

All right. Hang up for now.

Sir, I need to speak to you...

What is it?

An emergency shareholders meeting will be held in an hour.

They're meeting to dismiss the CEO.

What?

And the person who called the meeting was your mother.

What?

JOO-WON

It was about time you came for your money,

but you never called, so I called you first.

I trust that you ended things well with Joo-won.

How much do you want? Tell me.

There is no use for your pride.

I acknowledge you put up a good fight. So how much?

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

I thought long and hard about it.

But

I can't break up with him.

That isn't the answer I wanted to hear.

I'm really sorry.

But

if my father

sacrificed his life to save him,

then Joo-won is even more precious to me now.

My father sacrificed his life for him.

I will do the same and protect him with my life.

How could you be so vicious?

I didn't call you here to accept you.

You'll forever be his weak point.

You are my perfect son's only flaw.

Why does he have to endure people whispering behind his back because of you?

I'll be better.

I'll do whatever it takes for Joo-won not to be harmed because of me.

Shut your mouth.

There's only one thing you can do for him.

And that is to disappear.

I truly love Joo-won.

We both truly love each other.

Is that not enough?

Can it never be me?

Please give us your blessing, Mother.

Please allow us to be together.

So you're saying you can't give him up.

Fine, then.

Do as you like.

JOO-WON

Yes, it's me.

What are you trying to do?

Who said you could call this meeting?

Who said you can dismiss me?

Are you really going to go this far?

You should at least expect this much if you're going to betray me for a poor girl.

I told you before.

You are responsible for the things you were given.

I have made myself clear.

Now, it is your turn. What will it be?

Fine.

Take everything. All of it.

I will never give her up.

Is that so?

All right, then.

Do as you wish.

There's no reason to look at me that way.

I'm through with you.

To be fair, how is any of this your fault?

I'm just going to ruin Joo-won's life.

You doubt me, don't you?

You think I'm just saying this to scare you.

Do you want to see

just how far I can go?

Joo-won can never beat me.

When a child goes too far, the parent has to go even further to win.

That means there is no limit to what I will do.

Even if I have to break him.

The shareholders meeting is in an hour.

Unfortunately for Joo-won,

he will learn the most bitter lesson of failure and betrayal in his life

all because of you.

Because he will be brought down by his own mother.

Wait!

Wait, mother!

Wait!

I'll stop.

I will leave him.

I will let him go.

I will disappear.

I will disappear like foam.

So please don't do this.

Don't ruin him.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Forgive me.

I have to take such extreme measures to make you understand.

-I'm sorry! -How frustrating.

President Kim.

Don't call me that anymore.

I'm being fired soon.

Are you really going to let her do this?

I can't break up with Gil Ra-im.

This is the better option.

Wow. How...

How is losing your job as a department store CEO

over a girl the better option?

I know, right?

Isn't Gil Ra-im amazing?

How could she shake someone like me by the roots?

This will go down in history.

Goodness. You're a true Romeo, aren't you?

Are you really going to take this?

I have to.

If I try to strike back, my mom will only strike harder.

And it's too obvious who she'll strike.

Do you mean

Ra-im?

I guess being rich isn't so great after all.

Sir, don't worry.

If you really do get fired,

I will hand in my resignation.

What for?

You'll automatically be fired.

What? Why?

Because I hired you.

Then what do I do?

Love doesn't put food on the table. Money does!

Should we start farming? Want to raise the cattle?

President Kim!

I'm not the president anymore.

Joo-won!

Are you insane?

Don't move. Stop right there.

Come back here!

It is you.

When did you get here?

Are you here for Joo-won? He left.

I saw him leave.

You did? Did he tell you to wait?

No,

it's just...

I wanted to tell you

that I don't think we can hold our exclusive fan meetings anymore.

Why?

Did you get the part for Lian Jackson's movie?

You got the part!

Do you know how many times I called Japan?

I'm a total beginner,

so I just said, "I love you too" around a million times.

Thank you so much.

No need for that between us.

But nothing comes for free.

Buy me grilled pork rinds.

How could you make me buy flowers? You amazing woman.

I heard from A-yeong.

That doll was a gift from your father, right?

Use this instead of tying it up with a handkerchief.

Handkerchief?

Did you see it?

I'm much more poetic than you think I am.

I can move you in ways you did not expect.

All done.

Try it.

Forget it.

I said try it on.

I said forget it.

Are you trying to remind me that I'm the type of girl

who carries around a bag like this?

Or do you want me to feel that shame

over and over again by carrying this around?

You know that's not it. All I wanted was--

I feel as if I have to bear suffering that isn't even mine all because of you.

But why are you

always so carefree?

Did I do something wrong?

I have no time for this.

Let's not see each other for a while.

-What? -I'm going to start filming soon.

People like you who were born with opportunities at every turn

don't understand what this opportunity means to me.

It's the most important phase of my life and I don't want to be distracted by love.

So don't call me.

It's bothersome and exhausting.

Okay. I know it's been hard on you.

But I'm sorry. I have no intention to do as you say.

What kind of ridiculous notice is this?

Geez.

How could you do this?

I've been...

Do you even know what I gave up to be with you?

If you were going to give it up anyway,

why didn't you do it sooner?

Before I got tired of you.

Please leave now.

I don't want to see anyone from your family.

You're early...

I asked A-yeong.

She's my fairy godmother.

Don't do this from now on.

If you need something, talk to me outside.

Don't be like this. I don't have a guideline for these fights.

I want to fight over things like...

"Why are you late?" "Why are you looking at him?"

"Why did you only cook for Oska?" I want to fight over childish things.

-So-- -The accident

you had 13 years ago.

The one

you can't remember.

During that accident,

a firefighter

lost his life to rescue you.

That firefighter

was my father.

What?

It's easy for you since you don't remember.

But for me,

every time I look at you, I think of my dad.

I can't bear to look at you anymore

without feeling sorry for my dad.

Because of you, I lived for 13 years without a father.

Can you imagine what that was like?

Do you remember when you said

you would be the little mermaid?

So please

disappear

just like foam.

A firefighter lost his life to rescue you.

That firefighter was my father.

FIREFIGHTER DIES WHILE PUTTING OUT FIRE

FIREFIGHTER GIL IK-SEON

When the smoke is thick and the air is thin...

I hope that you prepare me for the time

when the fate of a life is unknown.

And...

If I die by your will,

by your grace,

please look over my wife and family.

GIL IK-SEON

Dad.

I'm back.

Was it

really you who saved him?

You told me to wait for dinner

because you would be home early.

Then you never came.

Was it because you were saving him?

Is that why you never came?

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm sorry

for loving him.

Dad,

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Aren't you nervous? It's your first shoot.

I'm so nervous

that it's taking me forever to do these buttons.

I can't find the button holes.

Do you want to buy my dream? I had a really good one.

Do you need money?

That's not why. I seriously had the best dream.

There was this beautiful table set in the middle of a field covered in snow.

And on that table, you and the president were facing each other

drinking this lovely flower tea.

Flower tea?

Are you sure it wasn't flower liquor?

How would I know? I can't taste in my dream.

But there was someone else.

I don't know who it was.

Anyway, when you two drank the tea,

deep red rose petals started raining from the sky.

I'm telling you, it was spellbinding.

Why sell such a good dream to me?

Because it was about you and the CEO.

You said there was someone else. It was probably you.

Is that how it works?

Anyway, good luck today!

Thanks!

NO VEHICLES ALLOWED

Please cooperate.

Okay.

He said the turn was a bit slow, so...

-Okay. -Try it faster.

The director wants to do it one more time.

You look good on the monitor.

All right. I'll be right back!

DARK BLOOD SHOOT IN PROGRESS WE ASK FOR YOUR COOPERATION

-I'm sorry. -Why are you blocking the roads?

There's a shooting going on. Please take a different route.

Whatever.

Wait.

Hey, stop!

Gil Ra-im!

Sir!

Ra-im!

Oh, no!

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

She may never wake up.

I believe

she's brain dead.

It has been two weeks.

She is still in her dreams.

Her face looks peaceful,

which means

she is not dreaming about me.

I think she is waiting

for me.

She is waiting for me

to come.

Tomorrow and the next day...

ILWON, GYEONGGI PROVINCE, NORTH CHUNGCHEONG PROVINCE

20-30MM PER HOUR

REPORTS OF RAIN

REPORTS OF RAIN

There you are.

Hey. What is it?

Well, actually...

I saw Ra-im here a few days ago.

-Here? -Yes.

Before she got hurt.

Why was she here? To see me?

She said it wasn't.

But

she told me to be happy.

As if we would never see each other again.

It felt weird.

How is she?

What was she doing here?

She was looking at your books.

Right about here.

Which book?

I couldn't see that.

But I doubt she came here just to look at books.

I only thought of it today.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

THE KNIFE TREMBLED IN THE LITTLE MERMAID'S HAND

SHE THEN THREW THE KNIFE FAR INTO THE WAVES

THE WAVES TURNED RED AS THE KNIFE DROPPED INTO THEM

THE SUN WAS NOW RISING OVER THE OCEAN

THE LITTLE MERMAID STARED AT THE PRINCE FADING IN THE DISTANCE

AND TOSSED HERSELF INTO THE WAVES

AND THEN THE LITTLE MERMAID TURNED TO FOAM AND DISAPPEARED

AND THEN THE LITTLE MERMAID TURNED TO FOAM AND DISAPPEARED

AND THEN THE LITTLE MERMAID TURNED TO FOAM AND DISAPPEARED

You have a flower delivery.

For me?

I love you, Mom.

Always and always.

From Joo-won.

You were going to surrender like this anyway.

This feels like

Joo-won in his twenties.

Ms. Nam, bring a vase. The prettiest one we have.

Yes, madam.

So Jong-heon went to pay,

and the restaurant owner asked what the camera was for.

When he told her I was a singer,

she said, "I want a singer's autograph! but who is it?"

Jong-heon told her I was Oska, and she was all like,

"Oh, Oska! I need to get his autograph!

But is Oska a man or a woman?"

Hey, punk.

Do you know your laughter sounds fake?

This story isn't that funny.

What do you mean? It's hilarious.

Are you pitying me because I'm old?

Pity me with money, then.

So funny.

All right, I'll give you something that is worth money.

Here.

What is it? Is it a bomb?

Or a dead bird?

Why didn't I think of that?

What's with you today?

What the...

These are all the things I tried to get from you.

Are you really giving them to me?

Yes. I'm paying rent.

Why are you doing this? Are you in trouble?

Forget it then.

No, no!

Thank you! Thanks, Joo-won.

Then let's take a picture.

That's gross. Why would I take a photo with you?

And I have portrait rights.

We haven't taken one together since I was 21.

You'll regret it later.

Half my life is regret and reflection.

That kind of regret won't even make a dent.

True.

You really are a bad person.

Diamond.

U-yeong.

I always knew.

That you always let me win on purpose.

Seriously...

Thank you for everything.

See? This is you.

This is how amazing you are.

Can you see it?

You're strong and bright, so you can overcome this.

Hurry and wake up, Ra-im.

Who sleeps this long?

Can't you see that we're all worried?

Wake up.

Just wake up.

If you do,

I'll send you to Joo-won.

I'll send you with a smile.

So please just wake up, kiddo.

I'm letting you know beforehand

that you are

the first and last alienated neighbor

to receive a letter from Kim Joo-won

from the leading social upper class.

So you can have a little pride.

The branches on the trees are rustling fiercely in the wind.

I hope you read this letter

on a similar afternoon when the wind is rustling the trees.

So that you can see

exactly what I saw.

If you stand before the window where I stood,

lay on the bed where I lay,

read the books that I read...

If we can share these moments...

Then that's enough to say

that we're with each other.

That's enough to say

that we're as happy

as other couples.

Don't love any other guy.

Be alone and love me forever.

Don't even get too close with U-yeong.

That's incest.

This will probably be

the most selfish decision of my life,

but respect it, as the decision of the leading upper class.

You were always so amazing.

Promise me

that you'll stay amazing forever.

I'm going to miss you

very much.

I love you.

I love you.
