Original subtitles

For the sophisticated man.

For us fathers.

Papa Baby, the body shampoo for you.

You're okay with that?

Let's do it again.

Head Manager Lee, just let it go.

For someone who used to be clueless, you're so detail-oriented now!

Okay. Good work, everyone!

-Good work! -Good work!

Stop!

When I was young We were dirt poor

We never got to eat out Like other folks

Mother would be working late

I'm left eating ramen everyday

I'm a g.o.d. fan.

It's been a while, sir.

Yes, it has.

Mr. Park Jun-hyeong.

You're not supposed to hold a baby that way.

Watch carefully.

Come here, it's alright.

Come here. Now, watch me carefully.

Be natural, like this is your home.

The baby's head could fall backwards if you're not careful.

Gently place your left hand on the baby's stomach for a sense of comfort.

But the biggest issue here is that

the baby's back can be strained.

You need to open your other hand wide

and wrap it around the baby

so that it can lie comfortably in your arms.

Now you know how to be a father.

-Who are you anyway? -You're asking me who I am?

I'm Lee Geon. My name's Lee Geon.

President Lee Geon?

-How do you do? -Oh, no.

You're g.o.d, there's no need for that.

-I'm your fan as well. -Yeah!

What's up?

Little Jae-min here seems tired, so let's take a break.

Here you go, ma'am...

Let's go to your mommy.

But we're on a tight schedule.

Oh, yes.

-Of course! -Of course.

Head Manager Lee, wrap things up here.

My gosh. Sir, are you finished here?

Are there any contract cancellations or termination fees I should know about?

Mr. Tak, quit overreacting.

I haven't cancelled any contracts in the last three years.

You're right! You've been so well-behaved these past three years.

Watch the door.

By the way, Dr. Octopus is piping mad

that you're 30 minutes late to his appointment.

How mad can he possibly get with me?

I'll buy him something sweet, and he'll be fine.

Oh dear.

All of the exhibit pieces are great

but I especially like this one.

What draws you to it?

I like the emotions invoked by the piece.

But more than anything, this is Ellie's only depiction of a child.

That's why it stands out.

I suspect that Ms. Ellie Kim treasures this one the most as well.

Good work, everyone!

Have some coffee.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

By the way, when will the artist arrive?

-I'm curious to meet -Ma'am.

the artist responsible

for such warm and endearing paintings.

-Thank you. -Thank you. Please enjoy.

The person you have all been waiting for is here.

You should introduce yourself to the staff.

How do you do? My name's Ellie Kim.

But you can just call me Ellie. Thank you for your hard work.

Applause!

This is sweet.

Can't you keep your appointments with me?

Do you know who I meet with the most after Chairwoman Wang and Mr. Tak?

-Who? -That would be you, Dr. Octopus!

You can stop with the uncomfortable stares already.

People will get the wrong idea.

Then why don't you find a lover that you can see more often than me?

Stop with the nonsense

and just give me the results of my last test.

Oh, you're clean.

You should be relieved.

After that one incident, it's been dormant for some reason.

Let's make sure it never happens again.

That's good to hear.

Does it give you some peace of mind?

Everyone dies at least once.

The difference is when it happens.

Wow, President Lee's become so cool and collected!

Doesn't the Chairwoman insist that you go through with an arranged marriage?

COUPLE MANAGER JEON JI-YEON

They all look similar enough.

Of course, ma'am.

I had a hard time choosing these candidates.

Seoul University, Seoul University,

an executive's daughter, representative's daughter, CEO.

Ji-yeon.

Is this the best you can do?

I tried my best to filter out the best candidates, but...

How can I meet your standards, ma'am?

I don't care about education or wealth.

I'm really proud to call Yeoul Island my hometown.

I want a girl who is proud of her hometown.

I really hope he'll be alright.

A girl who puts the needs of others before herself.

Thank you, Grandmother.

And she knows how to say "Sorry" and "Thank you".

Is there anyone like that?

Then why don't I bring back Mi-yeong?

I can't possibly ask for that!

I cannot possibly hope to find someone as perfect as she was.

Maybe I should send him away on vacation again?

Sending him to a hotel seems to be the fastest way.

Yeah. Like at Macau!

That's a good idea.

Let me put something together.

Where should we send him?

Bali?

Bangkok?

Driving with one hand is dangerous.

Oh, yes. Understood.

I'll heed your advice. I'll drive with both hands.

Isn't it tiring to be heading straight to Seoul?

Shall we cancel the meeting today?

No.

They worked so hard on my exhibit, so I must greet them.

I thought I wouldn't get to see my mom either, so it's all good.

Ms. Ellie Kim, this is reporter Daniel Pitt from Paris Times.

How does it feel to be back in Korea after three years?

I thought everything would have changed, a lot...

but it kind of feels like everything's the same.

Hey, it's not exactly the same.

I'm by your side now.

Right?

Look ahead.

Let's go get something tasty to eat!

-Buy us tteokbokki! -Yeah!

Oden, too!

-Dumpling. -And oden!

Wow! Teacher, your boyfriend's here again.

He's so my type!

He's so handsome!

Listen here, students.

Don't worry about my personal life and carry on.

-Oh, come on. -Teacher!

What about our snacks?

Now that your students' production is over,

you'll finally have some free time.

Yeah, I'm planning to fully enjoy what's left of summer break.

What's that?

This?

My students who graduated last year came by to watch and gave me these.

They were members of KLK.

What's KLK?

Kids who Love Ms. Kang.

I never knew you were cut out to be a teacher.

Se-ra, do you ever regret...

giving up on ballet?

Why would I?

-How does it look? -It's pretty. They've got a good eye.

I feel sorry for people without pupils.

-Are you going to just sit there? -I guess not.

Let me help you.

This way, please.

What's the matter?

What? Oh, nothing.

I should have gone to you, but I had business to attend to in Seoul.

Thank you for coming all this way.

And thank you again for opening your exhibit here in Korea.

I'm not sure if I'm ready yet, so I'm nervous about the exhibit.

Not at all!

Our company will support you, so you should be more active in Korea now!

Thank you for your confidence in me.

Ms. Ellie is far too humble for her abilities.

I heard that you were the director of this new project, Daniel.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

That being said, when are the two of you going to marry?

Pardon?

If I had asked a personal question like that in France,

I'd probably get thrown in jail. It's just that you look perfect together.

I'm still waiting for her to accept my feelings.

-President Lee Geon. -Yes.

What are you doing this weekend?

Want to go see a movie?

I'm sorry. I have some business this weekend.

Yeah? What kind of business?

It's something personal.

Let's see one together next time.

Then I guess this poor single lady will watch TV at home, alone.

You're not poor, single, or alone, Kang Se-ra.

Men line up the block for you.

All you have to do is pick one out.

As soon as someone better appears, I won't be alone anymore.

Instead of calling the kettle black,

why don't you worry about your own love life?

You probably forgot how to hold a girl's hand.

Kang Se-ra, I'm a log these days.

It's hard enough trying to entertain my log of an ex-boyfriend.

Alright. I'll see you again.

-Go on inside. -See you.

But I still think you're the best.

What am I to do?

Why are you closing so early?

We need our rest too!

If we overwork ourselves,

we won't be able to stay open for very long!

-Goodbye. -Okay, thank you then.

Have a good night.

Thank you.

Bye.

I'll wrap up and close up shop, so all of you can go on home.

I wish it's like this every day!

-Sure. -Sure.

There's nothing much left to do, so let's all go back together.

Forget it. I'm sick of being with you all day!

Go on, get out of here!

Get out!

Karaoke, let's go!

Wraps!

Wraps of anchovy!

It's me, Geon.

Why aren't people ever here?

I can't believe you're still in business.

You're the only one who comes in this late for a meal!

What's with you anyway?

Why do you insist on coming here like clockwork?

You're so annoying.

It's your fault for getting me hooked on this.

What are you putting in there?

You're not drugging me, are you? You must be drugging me!

-Shut up and sit down. -Alright.

Wraps!

This is what I'm talking about!

This is so good!

I can eat 10 bowls of rice with this.

Were you starving yourself? Shoving food in your face like that.

-Can't you eat like a human being? -Again with that temper of yours!

Even a dog is left alone to eat in peace!

This is why you have no customers!

Why are you talking back to your elder?

Anyways, Lady Anchovy Wrap,

did you like the shampoo I gave you? It's good, right?

All shampoos are alike.

But I have to admit, my hair does feel softer.

And it has a unique scent.

No, it makes you look 10 years younger!

You look like Ms. Anchovy Wrap!

I have a great new shampoo in the car, so I'll give it to you before I leave.

Give me some more broth. What is this?

The service here is terrible.

Are you going to spend the night here?

-Hurry up and eat! -Like the broth costs anything!

I'll pay you double. Get me more broth.

-Quadruple. -Okay, deal! So hand it over.

Can I dump the rice in here? I think it tastes the best that way.

-Okay, go on home now. -I haven't even digested anything yet!

You've been here for hours.

Go on home.

How much is it?

What do you think you're doing?

You better not open your wallet in front of me.

Go home.

-Want me to take you home? -I said go home!

I'll give you a ride.

Does it look like my legs are broken? I live right there.

Go home. I can't leave until you go.

Alright, I was only asking. What's wrong with asking?

Don't hit me!

You sure you don't want a ride?

I'm going now.

Thank you for the meal today.

THREE DAUGHTERS' MOM RESTAURANT

What a persistent boy.

The poor boy.

He couldn't even ask me what he really wanted to ask.

Mom.

Mi-yeong!

My daughter, Mi-yeong! How long has it been?

Mom, I missed you so much.

Hey, I'm sure you're really busy. How did you find the time to visit me?

I'm never too busy for you, Mom.

I really missed you, Mom. My mom.

Welcome back!

SHAMPOO

I forgot to give her the shampoo.

I barely recognize you, Mi-yeong.

I wouldn't be able to recognize you in the streets.

-Oh, come on! -How are you, Mr. Handsome Daniel?

Have you managed to capture my sister's heart?

Mi-ja, what's the matter with you? You're making him uncomfortable.

This is what she does.

Using uncomfortable as an excuse, she completely avoids my advances.

Even though we were in Paris together.

Mi-yeong has a problem showing her feelings.

We were planning to attend your exhibit tomorrow.

That'd be great! I have to be there tomorrow.

You're so busy!

Who knew you'd come up in the world?

Gosh.

I bet that Lee Geon dude never would have imagined it!

Shut up and eat.

-And Mr. Daniel, please enjoy. -Yes.

Please address me comfortably, Mother.

Mother?

Well, that will happen naturally with time.

What is this? A snail collection?

This is your ultimatum, Lee Geon!

Whether you agree to go through with an arranged marriage,

or whether you meet another girl by accident,

just get married!

Before you give your grandmother an aneurysm.

I'm so proud of my snail.

She's done it.

Doggypoo, your mom's something else, isn't she?

Did you see the pictures I laid out for you?

Who do you want to meet first?

I'm not meeting anyone.

What then?

Are you planning to cause another accident?

-Chairwoman Wang. -Listen, brat!

Have you forgotten you're the heir to the Lee bloodline?

-Hey, Dragon. -Yes, sir.

Hurry up and get married.

Me?

What are you saying?

Are you willing to hand over the birthright to Yong?

What nonsense is this? Watch your mouth!

Grandmother, I'm leaving today on business.

It'll be a day or two.

Eat your food, punk.

Go cause another accident while you're at it!

My goodness gracious.

I don't think Geon has any plans to have a child.

He was telling Yong to get married!

But Yong's just a mere Head Manager, I don't think I can

find the right, affluent girl for him.

Why, you...

Do you have any idea what it took for me

to get Yong to the Head Manager position?

What more do you want? General Manager? Vice President?

-Can he even handle those positions? -How dare you?

You promised us he would be President

but you barely managed to get him up to Head Manager!

We almost had it in the bag, we really did.

But Geon's been working so hard these past three years,

that he's won over most of the executives and elders.

But isn't an heir still the most important thing?

-Once Yong's married and has a son-- -Then it will be instantaneous.

Yong, let's get to work.

Geon, it's over for you.

-The reservation is under Lee Geon. -Yes, sir.

Your reservation is confirmed.

It's Room 2006, right?

Oh no!

It's Room 2009.

I specifically asked for Room 2006 over the phone.

My apologies, sir.

I think there was a mix-up. I'm sorry, sir.

Then don't be sorry, and change my room to 2006.

I apologize, but the guest who booked Room 2006 has already checked in.

What's the meaning of this?

Why did it have to be Room 2006?

DANIEL

Hello.

I've just arrived.

I'll unpack and head straight to the exhibit.

Yes.

This is Ms. Ellie Kim's first exhibit in her homeland,

so today is a very special day.

With the best of wishes for Ms. Ellie Kim,

we will proceed with the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Now, let us begin.

One, two, three!

You've been recognized in Paris and your popularity has grown immensely.

Is there a message you're conveying through your work?

I hope that my work can make people smile

especially young, struggling women.

I wish to continue expressing young, confident women who are loved in my work.

You became an artist relatively later in life.

What made you pursue this path?

There was a time when I was quite ill...

when...

someone suggested that I start drawing.

And thanks to him, I was able to heal through my art.

This is a personal question...

but do you have any plans for marriage soon?

Oh my.

-May I keep that one to myself? -That's quite alright.

Thank you.

Hey, should you really go there?

Hey, why not?

We're only going there to admire art.

We'll go there and look at some pictures.

What's wrong with that, you idiot?

But what will you do if you run into her?

Do you have a plan?

I'm Geon. The Lee family's sole heir.

Do you think I'd go without a plan?

You idiot. Listen carefully.

Right, you're Geon.

What do we do if we meet her? Tell me!

We go there, we meet.

We walk forward naturally. We greet her.

"It's been a long time", and "How have you been?"

Is that it? Are you sure that's it?

Then we tell her that we're there to admire her art!

I should go back to Seoul.

Are you sure about this?

Are you really going inside?

I might as well.

FOREVER YOUR FAN. DANIEL

Daniel?

This is 114, right?

Give me the number to the biggest flower shop in Korea.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE FOREVER YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN

Good work.

Good job.

See that?

I'm not just any fan.

I'm the number one fan!

Here's the guest of honor for today.

That gigolo playboy, Daniel

seems to have followed her to Paris.

I guess I should be thankful that he took good care of her.

You better not cross the line and remain only a friend,

you gigolo playboy, Daniel.

You look better in person than the photo!

Why are they laughing so heartily?

-Thank you for coming. -Thank you.

I'm a big fan of your work.

No!

I knew she had it in her

when she made me the Doggypoo and Geon cups.

Excuse me.

This painting...

-Do you like it? -Yes.

I really like it.

It's the only depiction of a child by Ms. Ellie Kim.

She said it was her favorite.

DOGGYPOO

-I want to buy this immediately. -Oh, sure.

Allow me to confirm the sale with the artist first.

If you'll leave us your address,

we'll deliver it to you after the exhibit.

Don't you understand me?

Is it that difficult?

I want to buy this and take it this instant!

Wrap it up for me!

Mom!

-Mi-yeong. -Mi-yeong!

Everyone's here!

-Didn't you get lost? -Not at all.

It was an easy ride here.

Mr. Daniel, thank you for all your effort in helping Mi-yeong!

Not at all.

By the way, Mother, please address me comfortably.

-You can just call me Niel. -Niel?

I'm sure with time...

Mi-yeong, we brought little Dae-cheol to see his aunt's work!

My nephew!

-He's heavy! -Yeah.

Let's get a move on! We need to see all of her works!

Where's the exhibit?

Goodness!

Oh my.

Goodness, you really drew all of these paintings?

My daughter is so talented!

No, I'm not.

I just got lucky meeting the right people.

Niel...

I mean, Mr. Daniel!

Thank you for helping Mi-yeong become the successful person she is now!

-Thank you so much! -Don't mention it, Mother.

I'm thankful to Mi-yeong.

It's such a joy to watch her develop her art.

Who's this? Is this your mom?

It's so pretty.

And what's this?

Hey, come look at this!

Honey, come here.

-It looks like Mi-yeong! -It sure does.

Daniel, has that picture been sold?

SOLD

What? Why is it already sold?

As soon as you two left,

someone took a liking to it and bought it on the spot.

I had a hard time convincing him

to keep it here until after the exhibit ends.

Is there a problem?

To be honest, this piece wasn't intended to be for sale.

I didn't think it'd sell so fast and forgot to check.

What should we do? He's already left a deposit.

-Did he leave a contact number? -Yes.

I'll call him and try to cancel the sale.

No, I think I should do that. Please give me the number.

LEE YEONG-JA

An unfamiliar number?

Yes, hello.

Hello?

Is this Lee Yeong-ja's phone? I'm calling about the painting you bought.

No, this is Lee...

-Mi-yeong? -Hello?

Are you Lee Yeong-ja?

One moment, please.

-Okay. -Ms. Lee Yeong-ja.

Yes, hello?

It's not a good time for me to take a call right now.

I'll text you in a moment.

Goodbye now.

Lee Yeong...

What do I do?

This is Lee Yeong-ja. May I know what this is about?

How do you do?

You bought my painting today.

I'm the artist, Ellie Kim.

First off, thank you for your interest and for buying my work.

And I'm so sorry to ask this, but would it be possible to cancel the sale?

May I ask why?

I had no intention of selling that piece.

I really am sorry but I have to ask you to cancel your transaction.

I don't think that will be possible.

I really like that painting.

I can trade you any number of other paintings for it.

I refuse.

I have my heart set on that painting.

Is it still inconvenient for you to talk on the phone?

I would like to speak with you directly.

I can't talk now.

I have a cold right now

so I can't speak.

Then can we meet?

I can go to where you are.

Well...

It's going to be hard for me to meet right away.

Please reconsider. I really hope you would do so.

I'll be waiting in Baus Hotel's bar on the first floor.

Feel free to come by, or simply give me a call.

I will contact you again soon.

-Did you wait for long? -No, I just arrived. Let's go now.

Yes, Chairman Kim.

I was hoping to meet with you

but I think it'll be difficult tonight. I'll meet with you next time.

Your mother contacted me personally.

I heard that you're the second in line to Jangin Chemicals

and that you're a Head Manager at a young age.

Head Manager is nothing to write home about.

Soon I'll be General Manager, then Vice President,

and then eventually settle in as President.

Then are you saying that you might become the heir to Jangin someday?

I guess that's what I'm saying.

What kind of woman are you looking for in a wife?

Someone who's small and frail...

but you can lean on.

Have some kimchi with that.

Her pure eyes are covered by round glasses

but you can see right into her heart.

Then I'll be here for you from now on.

We're family now.

A woman who, even with a soft voice...

Can stir deep emotions inside you.

Hey!

Ji-yeon?

-Who's this? -Yong, I'm going to kill you.

You even stole my lips from me!

Let go of me!

This isn't just any arranged marriage.

My mother's happiness and the fate of my household depends on this!

This isn't the place for you to raise your voice!

I don't know anything about fate.

All I know...

is that...

I love you like crazy!

Ji-yeon?

The first day went fantastic, thanks to all your hard work.

It was the perfect exhibit.

Feel free to enjoy tonight

and let us work harder starting tomorrow.

Applause!

-Good work, everyone! -Good work, everyone!

Why is that gigolo Daniel sitting with her?

That gigolo playboy!

Let's raise our glasses and toast to Ellie Kim's successful domestic debut!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

What should I do?

-Love-shot! -Love-shot?

-Love-shot! -Love-shot!

-Love-shot! -Love-shot!

-Love-shot! -Love-shot!

They look great together.

When did you learn how to drink?

-Slow down. -Okay.

Give me a bottle of something hard.

You two look so good together.

You even kind of look alike.

Really?

We do look alike, don't we?

-Yes, you do. -We hear that from people sometimes.

No, they don't!

You need glasses, you gigolo! Or LASIK eye surgery!

My snail took off her glasses!

She's so pretty.

When are you two getting married?

When should we?

I don't know.

Is marriage the pinnacle of life?

What's wrong with living alone? You live alone, then die alone!

Am I right? My way!

Am I right?

See them? They're going through a phase!

A phase!

Say something.

When did you two have your first kiss? I'm curious.

We're curious, please tell us!

Tell us!

Hello, my name is Jang Hyuk!

I'm glad to be here in China!

Are you ready? Good!

Is that guy crazy or what?

Our first kiss...

hasn't occurred yet.

-Lies. -It's true.

Nobody believes us, so should we do it here?

To commemorate your art exhibit?

Don't be silly.

I'm not joking.

Then you're being serious?

Nonsense.

Why is it nonsense?

Why do you think it's nonsense?

Show us a kiss!

-Kiss! -Kiss!

Just why are they trying to get them to kiss?

-Kiss! -Kiss!

They're getting closer!

No, they can't!

You think I'd let our first kiss be in a place like this?

For whose benefit?

-I thought you were going to do it. -Let's all raise our glasses.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

This is Lee Yeong-ja.

Let's meet to discuss the painting at Luna Park in Sejong

-right now. Like this instant. -Daniel, I'm sorry.

I have to go somewhere right now.

Where are you going?

I'll tell you later.

Ms. Lee Yeong-ja!

Are you Lee Yeong-ja?

-No. -I'm sorry.

Excuse me, Lee Yeong-ja?

Would you happen to be Lee Yeong-ja...

Lee Yeong-ja...

Are you here?

Yes.

Are you still on your way?

I'm sorry. I was about to leave,

but I suddenly got a fever.

I don't think we can meet today.

I see.

I guess it can't be helped.

Health comes first.

Please contact me after you feel better.

I'm curious about something.

Sure. What is it?

That picture...

Mi-yeong...

No, Ms. Ellie Kim,

why does that painting mean so much to you?

It's my very first painting.

But more important than that,

it's a part of my family and of myself.

A part of your family?

Of yourself?

It's a precious memory that's like a sparkling gem...

that I never want to forget.

Are you not experiencing...

the best time of your life...

right now?

Right now is fine...

but it doesn't compare with that memory.

What am I doing with a customer?

We've barely met and I fear I've talked way too much, I'm sorry.

Please contact me when you feel better.

Please.

Thank you.

It's a precious memory that's like a sparkling gem...

that I never want to forget.

A precious memory that's like a gem?

My snail hasn't changed one bit.

All I left you with were deep scars.

But you call them precious memories?

DOGGYPOO'S BABY DIARY

OUR BABY'S FIRST PICTURE

Who is it?

Who are you?

My room's 2006, why won't this open?

It's always been Room 2006. I only stay in Room 2006!

What's the problem?

What's the problem?

Open this door now!

The door won't open.

Hello? This is Room 2006.

Some weird man is pounding on my door

and shouting incoherently outside! Please come quickly!

I don't understand what he's saying.

Why won't the door open?

Manager!

-I want to talk to the manager! -Who is it?

-This door won't open! -What is he saying?

Come on!

Open this door!

Open sesame!

Open sesame!

Please open the door.

Open, snail!

Open, snail!

-Open up... -Who is it?

Snail!

Lee Geon?

What are you doing here?

Kim Mi-yeong?

Why are you coming out of my room?

This is my room.

But that's my room.

She doesn't even want to see my face anymore.

I think I found my sister!

So this is how Doggypoo would've looked like.

The up-and-coming artist, Ellie Kim!

Regardless, we cannot use Ellie Kim.

I won't allow it!

I'm leaving Korea tomorrow.

And I don't want to see you ever again.
