Original subtitles

Were you really going to destroy

Ye-seo and me?

Ms. Han.

Will you not regret this?

I asked if you're sure you won't regret this, Ms. Han.

I might end up

regretting my decision.

But one thing I know for certain

is that I'll end up

regretting things even more

if I don't stop here and wait until Ye-seo gets into SNU's med school.

Even without me,

you and Ye-seo were already on your path toward destruction.

Even if Ye-seo got in,

she wouldn't have been able to handle her guilt.

I don't know

what drove you to ruin all your students' families,

but did you really have to kill Hye-na?

I mean, you're a mom yourself.

A mom with a daughter who breaks your heart.

Do you think

you had nothing to do with Hye-na's death?

-What? -You remember

what Hye-na said when she came

to see me, right?

Make sure that Ye-seo doesn't get into SNU's med school.

I'll get in with my own skills.

You just have to make her fail.

If she hadn't made a request that I absolutely couldn't accept,

why would I have killed that poor girl?

Have you wondered

why Hye-na made such a proposition?

She probably thought her dad

would accept her if she got into SNU's med school.

That is true,

but the biggest reason...

was her anger toward you.

You heard why

she was hoping Ye-seo wouldn't get accepted.

I'll get into SNU's med school without an exam coordinator

and prove that I'm more competent than Ye-seo

and that my mom

is a lot better than Ye-seo's mom.

You made Hye-na an outcast

and damaged her self-esteem.

She was a lonely girl who wanted to be loved,

but you just broke her heart.

If he finds out you're his daughter,

what do you think he'll do?

He thinks the only flaw in his life

is that he couldn't finish his residency

at SNU before coming to Junam University Hospital.

An illegitimate child?

He'll never acknowledge or accept you.

With his pride and ego, the likes of you

would be an unbearable flaw.

She was just a young girl who wanted to be loved by her father.

Didn't you treat her like a thief who was out to destroy your family?

Had the truth come out sooner,

it would've obviously distracted Ye-seo from studying.

Should I have told Ye-seo the truth and welcomed her

-with applause? -You only cared

about Ye-seo getting into SNU.

You couldn't see anything else.

Did it ever occur to you how often Hye-na cried

in that basement room?

Imagine how angry she must have been

to come to me in person and propose a deal like that.

Your extremely selfish maternal love for Ye-seo

made Hye-na come to me.

Hence,

both you and I

killed Hye-na.

That's absolutely not true.

I hated her to death, but I never wanted to kill her.

But you killed Hye-na as well as Myeong-ju.

You destroyed Yeong-jae's family and tried to ruin mine as well.

I'm different from an evil monster like you.

Did you go to the police station

to save U-ju because you pitied him?

Would you still have changed your mind

if Ye-seo hadn't been falling apart mentally?

Right, I went to the police station for my daughter, not for U-ju.

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with putting my child first?

Moms do anything and everything for their children.

Is that why

you decided to join hands with me when I told you

that U-ju would end up taking the fall?

Because the life of someone else's son is worth less

than a day of your daughter's life?

You're just like the moms who were secretly glad

when my genius daughter ended up like that.

They can't stand other kids

outdoing their children and only want their kids to succeed.

You're just like them.

When I asked you if you'd be able to put up with the tragedy

that Yeong-jae's family went through, you said yes.

Why?

Because you arrogantly thought that it would never happen to you.

Why?

Because you were blinded by your greed to make your kid succeed.

Why?

The tragedy Yeong-jae's family experienced

was nothing more than just a sad story to you.

Did you say that

you and I are different?

You're wrong.

You and I...

are exactly the same.

That's right.

I should see if you're right.

Let's go and find out.

I guess you don't want to walk out of here in one piece.

Dad.

Mom.

Hye-na is acting strange.

She can't seem to wake up, and she keeps saying weird things.

She has a fever, too.

Really?

You just told me she has a fever. You might get sick, too.

Stay here.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

My sweetheart,

are you sick?

I'm here. It's me, your mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Get up. Let's go to the hospital.

Mom.

You and I...

are exactly the same.

Why would you resign?

You're just about to reach the top of the pyramid.

You're bound to become the next hospital president.

So why would you resign?

I also thought

I had to become the hospital president.

I thought that would bring me the utmost happiness.

But after going through all this,

I realized that it all means nothing.

I understand how you must feel, Dr. Kang.

But you should reconsider resigning.

He's right.

Dr. Kang, how about

applying for a sabbatical leave instead of resigning?

If you take a good year's rest--

How do you

expect me to go into the OR

that I pushed my daughter out of?

Your daughter?

What daughter?

What?

There are so many times

when I just want to kill myself.

If I think about

how miserable

she and her mother must have been because of me...

She and her mother?

Did your wife not tell you anything?

I can't believe she just left without telling me anything.

I can't join the conversation here.

My heart also aches every time I think about Hye-na.

So I can only imagine how hard it must be for you.

Hye-na was his daughter?

But what can you do?

You should think about the other family members.

Yes, of course.

That's why I'm going to try my best

to be a good dad, a good husband,

and a good son.

I don't want to end up regretting anything in the future.

That's great.

After this incident, I realized that being able to

eat together with my wife and U-ju

is enough to make me happy.

Yes, of course.

To be honest, there are numerous times

when I want to kick out my nagging wife

and my son who can never seem to get good grades.

But happiness eventually comes from being able to live with your family.

Let's all drink.

That doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to my colleague.

His wife apparently left the house along with the kids

without even saying anything to him.

Professor Cha's wife just took all her stuff and left the house.

No, she didn't move out.

She just left with her kids.

In other words, she left Professor Cha.

On top of that, his son even said to him that he likes it better

now that he's not living with him.

He said he's happy now.

What do you think

about his wife and kids?

If his son said that to him, I'm definitely sure

that darn colleague of yours is the one to blame.

What's the use of being a good professor at school?

I mean, how hard has he been on his kids

for his wife

to actually leave the house?

From what I know, he wasn't that hard on the kids.

The only reason I was able to live like a decent human being

after I suddenly lost my parents due to a car accident

was all thanks to Eden Orphanage.

To others, it may have been nothing more than an ordinary orphanage.

But to me, it was a very comfortable, safe,

and warm place.

Don't you think that's the kind of place a home should be to a child?

Let's stop

wasting our lives in vain, Professor Cha.

Here.

Fine, then. Don't come back.

When was I so hard on them? I don't care if they don't come.

Even if I'm lonely and sad I'm not going to cry

I'm just going to hold it in Why would I cry?

Let's smile and run

On that green field

Let's look

At the blue sky

And sing

What?

You want to

drop out of school?

U-ju,

you'll be

graduating in a few months.

Mom. Dad.

To be honest,

I thought everything would work out if I studied hard.

I thought getting good grades was the most important thing in life.

But after I unexpectedly ended up going to jail...

And after Hye-na died just like that...

Grades and university?

I realized that those mean nothing.

When I was in prison,

I was hit with the realization that the time

I get for free is really precious.

A day I get to live just by waking up

is a valuable day that Hye-na never got to live.

I can't waste my precious time

solving problems to improve my grades

when I don't even how to live my life.

U-ju.

If it's hard for you, you don't have to go to university this year.

But you should graduate from high school first--

Dad.

Did you ever imagine I'd be charged with murder?

What good is a high school diploma in that situation?

I need time

to think about who I am

and how I should live my life from now on.

Then U-ju.

How about taking a break from school?

Take a year or so to figure yourself out.

While growing up in an orphanage,

I learned for myself

how cruel the world treats the powerless.

That's why I think that even if it's a bit hard for you right now,

you should bear it.

Graduate from high school and

-go to university, and then-- -Power

doesn't come from where I graduated from, Dad.

Who I am,

what kind of person I am,

and what I live for.

When all that is clear,

isn't that where power comes from?

Honey.

You're giving in?

Why did you start a fight you can't win?

Make me some honey water.

Where are the kids?

Did you drunk-text me?

Text?

What text?

Goodbye.

What text are you talking about?

Seung-hye.

Without you,

I feel like a birch tree standing alone in a Siberian snowfield.

I was a fool, and it's all my fault.

My beautiful Seung-hye,

hurry back to me and fill my heart with your warmth.

P.S.

I accept your terms.

Are you saying I sent this?

Something this corny?

Seung-hye.

Without you,

I feel like a birch tree standing alone in a Siberian snowfield.

Fill my heart...

with your warmth.

P.S.

I accept...

all...

your terms.

How impressive.

I was really drunk yet I spelled every word perfectly.

Haven't you ever heard of "drunken truth"?

Well, it's true that

I sent that text.

Then you promise not to interfere

with the kids' studies, right?

And

you'll stop telling Se-ri to go to university

and let her live her own life, right?

You will throw the pyramid away

and never again

mention that stupid thing around the kids, right?

What?

"That stupid thing"?

Yes.

That stupid thing.

They're high school seniors. What am I to do then?

You can spend time with me.

While being a real dad who trusts his kids and waits for them.

What are you saying? Was I not a real dad until now?

You met...

the boys, didn't you?

Seo-jun said

that he was happy

without you.

That broke my heart so much that I couldn't sleep.

You didn't mean to hassle the kids. You just wanted them to do well.

But it got to the point where they're happier without you.

What if

you end up living a really lonely life?

Do you know how sad that thought makes me feel?

Do you like being away from me, too?

Are you happy?

How could I be?

I was worried sick

about how much you'd be suffering on your own.

But

where on earth did all of you stay?

My hideout.

Your hideout?

I will leave again with the kids if you don't keep your promise.

So you'd better stick to the conditions, okay?

But...

I can't throw that away on my own.

It's awfully heavy.

I must say, I'm so impressed by you.

Ye-seo would've gotten into SNU's med school

if she made it through the first semester,

so I thought you'd just keep your lips sealed.

I never thought Ye-seo would end up

getting zero marks and dropping out of school.

I've known Ye-seo since she was four, you know.

I know how you and Ye-seo lived

for the past 15 years.

Now that I've let things go,

I wonder why I lived like that.

Had I been in your situation,

I certainly wouldn't have been able to give it up.

I have huge respect for both you and Ye-seo.

You would've gotten U-ju out a lot sooner than I did.

-You think so? -Yes.

You're honest,

and you're highly empathetic toward other people's pain.

I know you'd put Su-han first, but you still wouldn't have been

able to let U-ju suffer in there.

Putting myself in others' shoes.

That's what I'm most terrible at, you know.

What's gotten into you? Why are you suddenly complimenting me like this?

Seo-jin.

Gosh.

I feel so sad.

When I think about you leaving Sky Castle,

it makes this place feel empty already.

I feel really sad.

I'll visit you often.

Promise me, then.

You promised.

Rethink your decision.

I don't want you to regret this later on.

I've come to this decision after long, careful consideration.

If you quit now,

-I'll end up-- -I'm sorry.

I mean...

Take care.

Wait, Dr. Kang.

Dr. Kang!

Dr. Kang...

Hey! Dr. Kang!

PLANNING MANAGER KANG JUN-SANG

Hey, come on in.

Dr. Woo, you know that you'll be in charge

of the Orthopedics Department, right?

Thank you

for putting up with me

all these years.

Dr. Kang.

Don't be scared.

Try to be more confident, okay?

I know you can't sleep well thinking about patients

suffering from aftereffects, so I'm sure

that you'll become a great doctor.

Thank you, Dr. Kang.

No problem.

And you.

When you're holding a hammer,

everything looks like a nail. Don't ever forget that.

Always be careful and thorough.

Dong-min, to doctors who must wear surgical gowns,

skills matter more than fashion.

-Do you understand? -Yes, sir.

I'll keep that in mind.

Great, keep up the good work.

Gosh,

I know you're a busy man. You didn't have to come.

You're leaving.

I have to at least say goodbye.

Thank you.

Please stay here until the end.

Regardless of where you go,

I hope you can be happy.

Thank you.

I hope you all get along without fighting.

Yes, we will. Take care of your health, Dr. Kang.

All right.

Keep up the great work.

I will. Thank you for everything.

So what is Jun-sang

planning to do now?

He said he'll take a few months to rest and think about it.

He can't be thinking of quitting the profession altogether, right?

I heard that my friend's son shut down

his successful clinic a while ago and opened a dumpling place.

A dumpling place?

He was always

immensely interested in cooking,

but she forced him to go to medical school, and he eventually...

I see.

He's divorced,

so she even has to look after her grandkids.

One day, she went to buy dumpling ingredients with her son

and ended up bawling,

sitting on the floor at the market.

Don't worry, Mother.

I know that Jun-sang will never want to open up a dumpling place.

Don't worry about him and try to relax.

I'll take care of everything.

How is Ye-seo doing?

She's stronger than me.

She's totally fine, and seeing that gives me strength.

That's a relief.

Mom, I cleaned and organized my room.

I threw out all the expected questions I got from Coach Kim,

and I made a new study plan as well. Have a look.

-Really? -Yes.

Ye-seo.

Don't be anxious.

Have you forgotten what your dad said?

He said you shouldn't rush.

He advised you to take your time.

Right, he did.

Okay, Mom.

How can you study without a single day off?

Make a new plan. Make sure it's not so packed.

Mom.

Starting tomorrow, I'll work on finding a good academy

as well as a tutor for you.

No. It's okay, Mom.

Rumors already spread everywhere, so I can't go to academies.

I think I should...

Is it called self-directed learning?

Yes, I want to give it a shot.

Since I have a lot of time on my hands now,

I should try changing my studying method.

You'll study on your own?

Mom, you told me not to be anxious.

Okay.

You should try studying on your own.

You know you can tell me right away if you find it hard, right?

Of course.

By the way,

I got a text from Seo-jun.

U-ju is dropping out, too.

U-ju?

HANG IN THERE. WE BELIEVE IN YOU. STAY STRONG, U-JU!

I'm sorry, U-ju.

I'm really, really sorry.

I wish you nothing but happiness.

HWANG U-JU

INCREDIBLE VOYAGE

My gosh, what a lousy question.

Everyone, let's look at question number 31.

This is...

a question about Newton's law.

Let's look at the examples.

-"The element..." -You guys, U-ju's leaving.

Let me see.

Hey, go back to your seats.

What's the fuss about? Go back to your seats.

Sit back down, you punks. My goodness.

Go back to your seats.

You guys really need to get to your senses.

What's the matter? Are you guys jealous of U-ju?

He'll end up regretting his choice in just one month.

No, actually, I bet it'll only take a week.

The fact that you're students is more important than anything.

You're high school seniors!

You should be studying for university, not dropping out of school.

Self-exploration, my foot.

What happens if you don't get into the top universities?

-We won't be treated as humans. -We won't be treated as humans.

Say it louder!

-We won't be treated as humans! -We won't be treated as humans!

Sir.

Should a teacher really be saying that?

Does that mean people who don't achieve that aren't humans?

You little punk.

Yes, that's right. I can already see

who's going to be successful,

and who's going to end up living like trash.

You little punk.

Cha Gi-jun, come outside.

I said, come outside!

Hey, Cha Seo-jun.

What?

Cha Gi-jun, where are you going?

Where are you going?

Hey, what are you guys doing? Why are you leaving?

Come back inside! Hey!

You punks.

Hey! Get back in here!

Are you really going to do this?

If you really leave, I'm going to give you

zero marks for your performance assessment.

You won't be able to get into the top three universities!

You little punks.

Get back here!

Where do you think you're going?

Hello.

Hey! Get back here!

U-ju!

-U-ju! -U-ju!

Hey, U-ju!

-U-ju! -Hey!

-Hey! -Hey, come here.

-Come on. -Hey, U-ju.

What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class?

We escaped from hell!

Are you guys skipping class?

Hey, you're dropping out of school.

We're just skipping class for one day. What's going to happen?

Gosh, the sunlight is amazing, and the sky is so blue.

-Let's go! -Let's go!

Gi-jun, you're being so sentimental.

-Let's go. -This is so nice.

Goodness, look at you.

What? You skipped class?

Did you just say you skipped class?

You skipped class when you're high school seniors?

Honey.

Did you forget about our hideout?

I guess it won't hurt to skip class once in a while.

Do you guys

want to throw out the pyramid with your dad?

The pyramid?

Honey, we need to get a sticker for that. What's the rush?

-I'll buy one when I have time-- -I already did.

LARGE ITEM DISPOSAL

Why did you stick it at the top?

You should stick it at the bottom.

It's more visible here.

If they don't see the sticker, they won't take it.

But still, how could you stick this at the very top of the pyramid?

It won't come off.

Come on.

Okay. Move over, Dad.

-Move, Dad. -Move over, Dad.

Watch out.

Thank you.

Here you go, my son.

-Does your son come first? -No. Here.

It's so savory.

Su-han, doesn't it taste better when your dad cracks it for you?

Yes, it's really delicious.

-Does it taste savory? -Yes.

This is what you call happiness. It's nothing extraordinary.

That's exactly my point.

What's the point of making such a fuss to become the planning manager

when you'll just end up resigning?

What's the point of making their child the top student

when they'll just end up dropping out?

Su-han,

you don't have to go to a specialized high school.

You can quit taking preliminary classes for that.

Really? Dad, do you really mean that?

Can I really quit the academy?

-Trust your dad. -Don't be ridiculous.

-Honey, are you crazy? -Come on.

How can you say that even after seeing what happened to Ye-seo?

I mean, if I think about Ye-seo, I do realize

that I shouldn't be too obsessed with private education.

But to be honest, I'm still quite confused.

As long as I can get Su-han into med school,

I feel like I could even dance naked at Gwanghwamun Plaza.

Goodness, honey.

If you dance naked at Gwanghwamun Plaza,

you'll get arrested.

Su-han, things are going to get intense in high school.

What do we do?

I trusted Seo-jin until now and followed her tracks,

but she ended up going off-course.

Stop trying to follow other people

and just focus on doing what you do best.

What I do best?

You're good at lying down for just one minute.

From now on,

don't just lie down for 1 minute. Lie down for 10 or 100 minutes.

Well, I am really good at lying down.

But then again, someone told me

that children who grow up being loved by their parents

are able to endure the severe stress

that comes from all the studying.

We can't change this darn education system

of Korea.

So the least we can do as parents

is to help our son

endure the brutal system by loving him

-as much as we can. -Goodness, you're so smart.

You're right. Let's give him a lot of love.

My son,

come and hug your fancy and elegant mom.

My dear boy.

The best thing I did in my life

was to have you, my son.

Right.

Thanks for coming to me.

I love you, Mom.

-Awesome. -What?

Me, too.

Okay, my older son, too.

This is the life.

I liked that.

-Get rid of the pyramid. -Pyramid, pyramid

Pointy pyramid

How is Ye-seo?

She's acting strong,

but she seems a bit anxious.

She would be.

Not being part of any group at her age

would make her feel uneasy.

Oh, dear.

I'm anxious myself.

"Will she manage until next year's university entrance exam?

Is this really the best option?"

I can barely sleep at night thinking about such things.

We'll become good parents

as we fight through things together.

Don't worry too much. We're doing this so that

Ye-seo doesn't end up living an empty life like I did.

Each time I waver,

I need you to tell me that hundreds of times.

My gosh. Don't you worry.

I'll say it thousands of times.

Honey.

Shall we take Ye-seo and Ye-bin tomorrow

to see Hye-na?

If I'd treated Hye-na a little better...

I'm sorry.

If I'd been

a better husband,

you would have discussed it with me.

I'm the one

who made you

act like that.

I'm sorry.

Hye-na.

We're here.

You must have really resented me.

I'm really...

sorry.

Hye-na.

I came seventh in my class.

I did well, right?

Like I promised,

I study really hard now.

KIM HYE-NA

Hey.

I quit school, and I'm preparing to take the GED.

Are you pleased?

I bet you are.

Look at you smile.

Hye-na.

Kang Hye-na.

I'm sorry for hating you.

Dad.

It's me, Mi-hyang.

Who? Mi-hyang?

The jerk who left with her mom and changed her name?

You haven't changed.

How are you?

Why? Am I a waste of money?

You don't want to support me,

so do you want me dead?

Is it Mi-hyang? I'll talk to her.

-Hey, is that you, Mi-hyang? -Yes.

How are you?

It's okay. Dad has always been like that.

How's So-min? Is she doing well at the University of Sydney?

Well, she did graduate from a great high school.

She's so smart, like me.

Hey, bring Dad to visit one day.

Nothing's wrong.

Jun-sang just grew up.

It's okay.

I told the kids the truth.

I'm sorry.

I was too harsh to you in the past, wasn't I?

Oh, hi! How are you?

Yes, I'm fine. Things must be tough for you.

Is Dad giving you a hard time?

It's what I saved up since I came back to Korea.

It's nowhere nearly enough,

but I want to at least pay back the 62,000 dollar fine myself.

You...

saved up this much money?

Se-ri.

Earning money myself made me see

how easy it was to just study and spend what you sent me.

It really hit home.

And I feel sorry for what I did.

So I'm going to work harder.

Mom, you know Ji-min, Jeong-ah, and Yoon-seo, right?

Of course, I do.

Ji-min's your friend from elementary school.

You met Jeong-ah and Yoon-seo in NMH School.

The four of us promised to work hard with the goal

of opening our own club in three years' time.

When we do,

will you come and check it out, Dad?

I should start taking some dance lessons.

You're...

a pretty good waltzer.

My goodness.

I should learn dance moves for younger people.

Shall I teach you, Dad?

There was a dance academy above your grandpa's dry-cleaner's.

You can learn anything just by repetition, you know.

I have a great sense of rhythm.

Perfect.

Now, look.

-Ready? -Yes.

Now spin.

Again.

And then...

Ta-da.

Kim Ju-yeong!

Look what you've done!

You said nothing would happen!

Keep quiet and sit down!

Hey, Yeong-jae.

Ms. Lee.

It's been quite a while.

How are you?

Yes, I've been well.

How have you been?

Good.

-Are you here to see my dad? -Yes.

JEONGSEON MEDICAL CENTER

My book is out.

GOODBYE, SKY CASTLE BY LEE SU-IM

I thought I should give you the first copy.

-This one is yours, Yeong-jae. -Thank you.

TO DR. PARK SU-CHANG

THANK YOU. THIS BOOK COULD COME INTO THE WORLD THANKS TO YOU.

THANK YOU, YEONG-JAE

I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WRITE THIS BOOK IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU

If it weren't for the two of you,

I would've definitely given up.

Thank you so much.

Thanks, Yeong-jae.

You worked so hard for this.

Every time you called me, saying you were stuck,

I was able to reflect on myself

while telling you my story, and it also gave me solace.

I should be the one thanking you.

Same here.

When you called me because of Ye-seo,

I thought hard and realized

that I, too, got stolen exam papers from Kim Ju-yeong.

Back then, I just thought that the expected questions were really accurate.

There were moments

when I regretted not going to SNU,

but looking back,

I know that I did the right thing.

I didn't achieve it

on my own.

Yeong-jae

wants to start studying again.

Really?

I want to go to university and study counseling psychology.

For the youth.

I'd like to help students who are stressed out like I was.

That's great.

I know that you'll do an amazing job.

Thank you.

-Gosh. -My gosh.

I was so nervous when I first met you at the mountain cabin.

I was quite intimidating, wasn't I?

Isn't the food here good?

-Eat as much as you'd like. -Okay.

This is the best restaurant in this area.

All right.

Here.

Eat up, Yeong-jae.

Eat up, son.

My son, it must be so stressful for you.

You're almost there, though.

So hang in there, okay?

Honey, do you remember?

When Yeong-jae was still crawling around as a baby,

he put his foot in your soup after stepping on his poop,

but you still finished the entire bowl.

Come on.

That was my son's foot. Why would I be grossed out?

You used to catch a cold and run a fever so often.

I even had to run in the snow to the hospital with you in my arms.

Thanks so much for growing into such a healthy, smart boy.

Hey.

Hey, do we really have to do that, though?

It'll be good. It'll be helpful for us, you know.

Gosh, you know what she's like.

She won't want to help us. Do you think it'll work out?

Well, Ye-seo could say no.

I'll ask her.

Mom.

I just got a text from Seo-jun.

He wants to study with me every weekend.

Seo-jun?

The three of you, including Gi-jun?

Yes.

That's great.

I think it's a good idea. What do you think?

Well...

I've never studied with anyone before,

but shall I try?

How about we study independently?

Since our study progress is different,

we can just get together here every weekend

and keep each other in check.

Sounds good. How about exchanging our notes as well?

Hey, you're really willing to share your notes?

Yes, you'll be sharing yours, too.

Don't you know "give-and-take"?

My gosh, are you really the Kang Ye-seo we know?

I'm a good person, you know.

Leave this study group if you're going to keep annoying me.

She told you to leave.

What? Am I an outcast now?

Did you guys come up with your study plans?

Shall I help you?

-No, thank you. -No, it's okay.

Hi, Ye-seo.

Honey, just let them do their thing.

Why? I should show my support since they're trying to study hard.

Don't be nosy. Just let them study on their own.

How could you say that?

I'm trying to help like any father would do.

The hideout.

Ye-seo, do you want to stay for dinner?

Se-ri wants to cook something nice because you're here.

Sure, I will.

I'm sorry we interrupted you guys.

Honey, I have a job for you.

-So what? Am I an outcast? -I told you to leave.

Are you going to stay here? You just can't take a hint.

-Se-ri. -Yes.

Dad, I'm making mille-feuille hot pot for dinner.

I'll put you in charge of the perilla leaves.

Rinse them thoroughly, please.

Sure, I'm very good at thoroughly rinsing perilla leaves.

Oh, wait.

You need to do it properly.

Ta-da! Here's an apron for you.

Here.

Put your arms through first.

When did you learn how to make this?

There's nothing I can't do, you know.

All right, hand me the cabbage, too. I'll rinse it for you.

Let's do it together, Dad.

There's a good song. Check it out.

Hang on, stay still. Okay.

-Isn't it nice? -Yes.

One, two, three, four.

Stop it.

Dad, come on. You have to do it, too.

Ready, start. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Now, the wave. One, two, three, four.

I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

-You learned it earlier. -My gosh.

I should let Seo-jin know.

Yes, Seung-hye.

Really?

Ye-seo loves mille-feuille hot pot.

Thanks so much.

The kids should study at our place before we move.

I'd like to cook a nice dinner for them as well.

All right, thanks.

Ye-seo will have dinner at Seo-jun's place.

Ye-seo?

She's never eaten at someone else's place.

I think you can stop worrying about her now, ma'am.

I know, right?

You're not forgetting anything, right?

Of course.

Take care, and don't make Dad and I worry about you.

Don't worry, Mom.

How can I not worry?

-U-ju! -U-ju!

My gosh.

-U-ju. -Why are you running?

We almost missed him.

U-ju.

Hello.

Here's some pocket money for you.

-Gosh, it's okay. -What are you doing? It's okay.

I went out of my way to convert it to euros.

Let me do this as his mom's friend.

Thank you.

U-ju.

I'm really sorry.

Please let your guilt go.

I'm really okay now.

Thank you, U-ju. Be safe, okay?

I will.

U-ju, be safe.

Thanks.

I'll be rooting for you as well.

We got this.

-We should get going. -Okay.

I'll get going, then.

Thanks, Mi-hyang.

Dr. Hwang is waiting. You should go.

-Thanks. -No problem.

Thank you, Ye-seo.

Thank you for your concern and support.

Mom, let me go already. I'll miss my flight.

You have to message me every day, okay?

I will.

I'll message you twice a day, morning and night.

All right, U-ju.

You know that I'm rooting for you, right?

You know that I'm your biggest fan, right?

Honey, it's my turn now. I want to say goodbye, too.

All right, it's your turn.

Dad.

U-ju,

I love you.

You know that, right?

Dad, I'll learn a lot while I'm there. Don't worry about me.

All right,

I...

believe in you.

Gosh, Dad. I can't breathe.

Seo-jin, isn't that area too far from the academies in Daechi-dong?

How will you pick Ye-bin up?

I'll find a different academy for her.

Her grades aren't good enough for specialized high schools, anyway.

I don't want my greed to suffocate her.

Don't worry about Ye-bin.

I think she's extremely bright.

That's right. She's confident.

Most importantly, she knows what she wants.

Most kids these days just go with what their parents want them to do,

so Ye-bin is such a special gem.

Back in the day, I used to think

that raising her was ten times more difficult than raising her sister,

but now that my mindset has changed,

I can see that she has so many strengths.

Yes, exactly.

Now that I've changed the way I think,

I'm realizing that Su-han has so many strengths.

He's a good eater. He eats a lot.

He's kind and has many friends. Also, he's so good at games.

He's good at everything but studying.

Studying is his mortal enemy.

Oh, right.

How is your book?

Is it selling well?

We only printed 2,000 copies for the first edition,

but they haven't even been sold out yet.

Hey, why are you laughing? Are you happy about that or what?

No.

I don't understand why we were so against you writing that book.

Thinking back now, it's really comical.

I know, right? We even collected signatures to petition against it.

We totally overreacted.

Don't you worry, Su-im.

"Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be."

There's that saying, you know.

That'd be great,

but the fact that I wrote a book for our kids makes me the happiest.

Right, is U-ju doing well?

Gosh, I got a message from him this morning.

He wrote,

"The greater your suffering, the greater your enlightenment."

Anyway, he says he's learning things he couldn't learn stuck at his desk,

so I think he's becoming more mature by the day.

I'm sure of this now.

I don't know who told everyone

about my dad selling offal back in high school,

but I at least know that it wasn't you.

You're realizing that now?

But still, thanks.

I think we should clink our glasses now.

All right. Here's to U-ju's safe return

and Seo-jin's family starting afresh or not.

-My gosh, what? -Cheers.

Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

RESTRICTED AREA

Mom.

Let's talk quietly with your mom.

Have a seat.

Great. Good girl.

Near the orphanage my mother used to run,

there's a reputable long-term care hospital.

K is doing great there, so don't worry about her.

You said I would be punished by the gods.

You try living in a hell that you can never escape from.

I said such harsh things to you.

And...

I tried to destroy your son's life.

Why are you...

doing this?

What do you think?

K needs

someone to look after her.

She even made a friend

at the hospital.

Don't worry about K, and be strong.

You should get out of here soon so that you can live with K.

Mom.

Don't cry.

Mom...

Yes. It's me, your mom.

Mom, don't cry.

Mom...

Don't cry.

Thank you.

It's hot, so eat slowly.

That's right.

Wait, I'll open the door for you.

All right, come on out.

Slowly. Be careful. Good job.

-K, you're back. -Ga-hee!

-Hello. -Hello.

K, I'll come back in ten days.

Okay.

-Get back safely. -Please take good care of K.

-Bye. -Bye.

Ga-hee!

Ga-eul, hurry back.

I made something delicious. Hurry up.

Ga-hee, let's go eat delicious food.

-Yes, let's go eat. -She's Ga-eul, not Ga-hee.

-Ga-hee. -It's cold. Let's go inside.

-I'm cold, Grandma. -Go on in.

All right, let's go.

Yes, let's go.

-Get in. -Get in the car.

NEW RELEASES

GOODBYE, SKY CASTLE BY LEE SU-IM

LEE SU-IM

Can I help you?

My skin has been rough lately.

I want something to make it smooth.

U-JU'S MOM

What could she be calling about?

All right.

Hello.

What?

They moved in already?

Ye-seo's family just moved out.

You should be more careful.

Why are there so many books?

Hello.

I'm Min Ja-young and I just moved into that house over there.

Oh, I see. Nice to meet you.

I came to say hello.

Can I come in?

What great timing. Everyone's here.

Come inside.

Su-han eats and poops, as usual.

Come in.

We have a guest.

Hello.

I'm Min Ja-young, your new neighbor.

Hello.

Oh, thanks.

If you're a doctor,

are you the new orthopedics doctor at Junam University Hospital?

No, that would be my husband.

I was a dentist,

but I quit a year ago to support the kids.

Working moms' kids

almost never remain at the top of their class.

By the way,

have you ever heard of an entrance exam coordinator?

My older kid just started middle school

and I need to start making plans for getting him into university.

My gosh, you're being ridiculous.

You want to hire a coordinator for a 14-year-old?

Wait, isn't that what you all do?

I moved into Sky Castle because I heard

it was the best place for the kids' education.

My daughter didn't go to university.

The younger twins are high school seniors,

and they don't have a tutor.

They just study together with their friend.

My son's the same age as Seung-hye's twins.

He quit school and is traveling.

My son is in middle school.

He goes to his academy only when he wants to.

My goodness.

You people

are so naive.

Naive?

Cheers.

My gosh.

Get in.

I'm hungry.

-You're hungry? -Yes.

-Oh, dear. -Are you?

What do my princesses want to eat?

YOU LOOK GREAT, U-JU!

Pork ribs.

Pork ribs? No way.

I'm on a diet.

Let's eat pasta. Pasta, Dad.

No thanks. I want pork ribs.

Dad, pork ribs.

-Should we? -How dare you?

We ate what you wanted last time.

Not again.

Why are you two always fighting?

I just can't get along with her.

Who eats pasta when they're on a diet?

-Pork ribs. -Let's eat pasta.

Mom, Dad, pork ribs.

Pork rib places don't sell pasta, do they?

-Mom, how about pasta? -How about pork ribs?

-Okay? -Let's have both.

At a top academy that teaches math to only the smartest students in Daechi-dong,

this teacher taught many students who won mathematical contests.
