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.

This is amazing!

How can this be?

I must have drunk too much.

Now I'm seeing you in my dreams.

Kim Mi-yeong.

Mi-yeong.

Kim Mi-yeong.

Even if it's just a dream,

I'm happy to see you.

Geon!

Geon!

Wake up!

My head is pounding.

I think I'm going to die.

Give me water.

Please give me water.

I'm dying here.

Please give me some water.

What's this?

Oh, my head...

I'm letting you know in case you don't remember.

I found you passed out in the hallway...

and brought you into my room.

I'd like you to leave my room before I return in the morning.

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

Kim Mi-yeong.

Kim Mi-yeong?

-Lee Geon? -Kim Mi-yeong?

Kim Mi-yeong. Mi-yeong.

Wait a minute.

That wasn't a dream?

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

Even if it's just a dream,

I'm happy to see you.

I didn't want to meet him ever again, even in my dreams.

She's not a Post-it anymore.

She's superglue now.

Didn't you get any sleep last night?

I think the exhibit is stressing you out.

To be honest, I have something to tell you.

Last night, I came across Lee Geon...

Wait.

Let me ask you one thing.

Is that person you came across last night...

still so important to you...

that you feel the need to explain to me?

You already knew about it?

That's all I need to know.

This bread tastes so good!

And the coffee is perfect. How is yours, Mi-yeong?

Mine is perfect too.

Oh, did you get in touch with the person who bought your painting?

I did, but I haven't been able to cancel the sale yet.

Did you get a difficult customer?

-Shall I handle it for you? -I have to do it.

She's a woman and she seems real nice.

I'll call her again.

-Everyone seems nice to you. -You think so?

-Go on and eat. -Yes.

It's been a long time, President Lee Geon.

Yes it has been, Mr. Daniel Pitt.

I wanted to greet you earlier

but I thought it would make Ellie uncomfortable.

Ellie?

She seems to be doing well.

I'm sure...

you've had a big part in helping her.

That's not my role any longer.

I'm no longer here to console her every time you break her heart.

Then that's even better.

You're already good at taking care of her.

I'll think of this as a coincidence, and let it slide.

But I don't want to see you near Ellie again.

You don't have to be so sensitive, Daniel.

I just wanted to...

tell you this one thing.

Thank you for taking good care of Mi-yeong.

Do you think you still have the right to say that?

Let me be clear on this.

I'm not simply taking care of her.

I'm staying by her side because I have feelings for her.

Hearing that gives me peace of mind.

I've always been a good judge of character.

Goodbye then.

FOREVER YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN

Kim Mi-yeong.

I sincerely congratulate you on your first exhibit.

-Thank you. -Thank you for coming.

Keep on moving forward like that,

inching forward ever so slowly.

It was good seeing you again.

Goodbye now.

We look forward to many great things from you.

WARM YET CONFIDENT, MEET THE GREAT ARTIST, ELLIE KIM

Yong, is this the same Kim Mi-yeong that used to live here?

Yeah, she is.

Whichever way you see it, it's my sister-in-law.

I miss her so much.

Congratulations!

At this rate, she's going to be filthy rich!

This is truly a king's return!

I think you mean a queen's return.

Not a king.

Don't you know the proper expression after having lived for 50 years?

I thought hardness of hearing was supposed to come with age.

Seeing that you're so sharp and healthy,

I'm sure you'll live to be over 100 years old!

What are you two looking at?

Grandmother, can you recognize this person?

Who is it?

Is that Mi-yeong?

What is Mi-yeong doing here?

What?

Oh my!

Mi-yeong!

You're back in Korea!

Did you really go on a business trip?

Then do you think I went on a fake trip?

I don't understand why you had to stay the night

when our factory isn't even located there.

Did you by any chance...

Did I what?

Did you cause a huge accident last night?

Look here, Chairwoman Wang.

What do you expect from me?

Do I look like some scandal-maker who causes accidents here and there to you?

And Grandmother,

do you really think this is a proper topic

for a grandson and grandmother to discuss?

Why, you brat! Like you leave me any other choice!

But, do you happen to know...

Know what?

Mi...

What?

Nothing.

I'm sure you're tired.

Go get some rest.

-Go and rest. -Alright.

My goodness gracious.

What's the use of telling him?

It'll only break his heart.

-Good work! -Good work.

Good job, everyone!

Yes, please go on.

What? Really?

Are you absolutely sure? You're 100 percent positive?

SOLD

Ms. Kim, I think we will have to deliver this picture.

Really?

Alright, I understand.

Daniel?

Did something happen?

-What is it? -I got a call from Seoul.

I think I found my sister!

-Everything checks out! -Really?

I told you that you'll find her.

I'm meeting her in Seoul tomorrow. Would you go with me?

Of course.

So, he finally found his sister.

That's great news.

Hello, this is Lee Yeong-ja.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, I feel a bit better, thanks to you.

That's good to hear.

By the way, Ms. Yeong-ja,

have you had a chance to consider my request?

I haven't made a decision yet.

Not yet.

We'll be delivering the picture tomorrow.

Can I deliver it to you personally?

-We can meet each other and talk. -That won't be possible.

See, my face...

My face is breaking out for some reason.

My face is sensitive, and it's a real mess at the moment.

I can't even step foot outside my home.

You understand, right?

A woman's complexion is her pride.

I'm worried for you.

It must be awful.

Have you tried using tea tree oil?

Tea tree?

Tea tree oil.

It's good for acne.

Oh, tea tree!

I covered my face with it.

Then it should get better.

Though I'll be sending you the painting as promised,

I hope you reconsider.

If you want,

I can make a brand new painting for you.

That's not a bad offer.

I'll think about it.

Do you have a child by any chance?

A child?

Why do you ask?

Because out of the many paintings, you chose the one of the child.

Yes, I do.

I have an adorable child.

Given the chance, I'd like to meet your child as well.

If you could,

that would be great.

Anyway, please contact me when your face clears up.

Alright, then.

Goodnight.

JANGIN CHEMICALS

Sir! How could you do this?

You left for a business trip without telling me, like a thief!

A thief?

How dare you call me a thief?

Chairwoman Wang was asking where you had gone

but as I had no idea you'd even gone on a business trip,

I had no way to answer her.

Please don't leave me in the dark again.

I'll feel really hurt next time.

Mr. Tak, Dr. Octopus, Dragon...

Are you three in a competition?

Why are you so concerned about me?

If you have the time for that, find yourself a girlfriend.

Where would I find the time for that? I'm busy enough looking after you.

A girlfriend?

Sir, you didn't...

You went, huh? You went?

To that exhibit I told you about!

Wait! Look at me!

Then, Madam...

-I mean, you met with Ellie Kim! -Look here, Mr. Tak.

Stop tracking my personal life.

A package will go to your mother's home this evening.

-I want you to get it back for me. -How secretive of a package is it

that it had to be sent to my mother instead of me?

From this day forth, stay out of my personal life.

Just bring me my package. Step on it.

-I seem silly today, don't I? -Not at all.

-It's kind of cute. -I'm not even remotely "cute."

-Look at how big I am. -I've never seen it before

but I'm sure the expression you have now is one you had as a boy.

It's a good thing, so don't worry.

You've waited for this moment for so long.

Mi-yeong, thank you for being here with me.

Brother!

Brother, I missed you.

Brother.

I really missed you.

Brother.

Mi-yeong.

Mi-yeong...

Here.

The results show a 99 percent positive match.

The scar behind her neck occurred when she was a child.

Thank you so much. Thank you very much.

It's moments like these that make my work satisfying.

Congratulations to the both of you. I'll get going now.

Mi-yeong, it was hard, wasn't it?

I have so much to tell you.

Hello.

-Who is this person? -Oh, this is Kim Mi-yeong...

I mean, Ellie Kim.

She's an artist and my closest friend.

Hello, Ms. Kim Mi-yeong.

How do you do?

Mi-yeong, did you eat?

Are you hungry? I'll buy you anything.

You should come with us too.

No, I'm sure you have a lot to catch up on.

Congratulations again. I'll leave first.

-I'll call you later. -Hey...

What's wrong with everyone today? Why can't any of you concentrate?

It's too hot. Let's take a break.

Teacher, this is too hard today. I don't want to do it!

-Let us rest for a bit. -I really don't want to do it.

-Let's rest. -Are you out of your minds?

Take off your toe-shoes.

-Wow, it looks great! -Wow, great!

-Thank you! -Thank you!

-Teacher, can we eat all of this? -Yeah, of course.

We eat now and die later.

The sun will rise tomorrow and ice cream will not ruin your lives.

I can guarantee that, alright?

-Yes! -Yes!

I'm so happy, this seems like a dream to me!

Let's eat now and die later.

-Eat now, die later! -Eat now, die later!

Teacher, aren't you going to eat?

Join us!

I have my go-to dessert. Dig in.

Your ice cream's ready.

Thank you.

If Mr. Log would call me first,

I'd be happier than anything in the world.

I don't think this belongs in my house.

Geon!

-Mi-yeong. -Did you have a good time?

Being an older brother requires a lot of energy.

You're working?

-A mother and her baby? -Yes.

The woman who bought my Le Soupir painting

said that she has a child.

So I want to make a piece especially for her.

Is she willing to return the painting back to you?

I get the feeling that she will.

She seems like a good person.

How was your day with your sister?

It seems that she had a lot of things she wanted to do with her brother.

She dragged me along everywhere.

Though my body is tired, it felt really good.

Who cares if it's tiring? You've waited all your life for her.

I know.

Join us for lunch tomorrow.

-Alright. -Carry on. I want to watch.

-Are you going to keep watching me? -Of course!

Watching you draw is one of my greatest joys in life.

I'm entitled to do so, am I not?

Yes, Teacher.

You're fully entitled.

Wow...

So this is how Doggypoo would've looked like.

Hi, Doggypoo.

So this is how your mom imagines you to be.

Wait a second.

Ms. Yeong-ja, I'm leaving for France soon.

Is your face better now?

What? Leave?

Leaving already?

You come back in three years

only to leave so soon? Why come back in the first place then?

I guess she's busy.

What should I do?

-Please sit here. -No, it's okay.

-I'm getting off soon. -Thank you.

-How old is he? -He's two years old.

He's so cute.

Hello.

Yes, this is Ellie.

A business meeting?

Our competitors have been targeting women in their 20s and 30s.

And as a result, our revenues have begun to decline.

Tell me something I don't know. What plan do we have?

President, our research shows that female consumers value brand image.

Despite the quality of our products, we require a solid, visual impact

otherwise, we risk continued diminishing sales.

Therefore, we are searching for a young female artist

to help with a campaign to revitalize our image.

Who are we considering?

First, Lee Bo-ra.

Second, Jang Chae-rin.

Third, Shin Su-ji.

And finally, straight from the city of Paris...

Ms. Ellie Kim.

The up-and-coming artist, Ellie Kim!

-I highly recommend her. -Highly recommended!

Who promoted that Dragon, Mr. Tak?

-That would be you. -Oh, was it me?

Regardless, we cannot use Ellie Kim.

Her success overseas does not ensure her success here.

I won't allow it!

We cannot take that chance! Of course!

Which is why I prepared this. A document of proven statistics.

Here you go, sir.

She's already highly regarded among our critics.

And sir, you must separate personal issues with business.

-Right on! -Freeze!

Yeah, this is strictly business.

Why aren't you eating?

Are you on some kind of diet?

No.

Why would I be on a diet?

I have a lunch appointment later.

You're leaving Korea soon, aren't you?

Yeah, time flies.

Do you still like it better in France than here?

Didn't you say Korean companies contacted you about collaborations?

Wow! You're great, Mi-yeong!

Mi-yeong, can't you just work here in Korea?

He's right. Why suffer overseas?

Your family is here. And I'm here too.

I want to stay a little longer in Paris.

I still have some studying to do.

Yeah, take your time.

Stay where you feel most comfortable.

Who is it? Is it Handsome Daniel?

No.

Sister, I missed you so much.

-I often thought about you as well. -Really?

You changed your name to Ellie and became even prettier now.

-I can see the confidence surging! -You look great too.

You seem grown up and confident.

Meeting you gives me unknown strength!

-Here. -Are you meeting someone?

Wait, why are you...

Hey Dragon, are you blowing fire on me?

I wanted to formally introduce you to Ms. Ellie Kim.

Yong...

She's the perfect person for our project.

I don't think you should exclude her outright from the list

because of personal issues.

Project?

We're starting a revitalization campaign

to recapture the young women demographic!

That's enough.

I'm sorry.

I'll leave the two of you to carry on with the meeting.

Yong...

He always gets carried away. I didn't tell him to do this.

We meet again.

Yes.

You see, what happened the other day was...

-It was some sort of misunderstanding. -It wasn't a misunderstanding.

You got extremely drunk and started to pound on my door.

After some screaming, you collapsed in the hallway.

I could just leave you there

but since we were once...

We were once?

Yes, we were.

Have you been well?

I've been well. As you can see.

Your style has changed considerably.

Are you healthy?

Yes, I'm healthy. Healthy as ever.

Real healthy.

That's good to hear.

I'll be on my way now.

Listen, Mi-yeong.

Since we're already here,

I think it would be proper to tell you about the project.

You should find another artist for that project.

I don't think I'll be able to help you.

Why is that?

I'm a lot more expensive than you think.

That wouldn't be a problem. All I have is money.

Not a problem at all.

And I think we should stay away from each other.

I'm not the Kim Mi-yeong you used to know.

Just like you're not the same Lee Geon to me now.

Although the past can't be helped, let's not complicate things further.

You seem to be under the wrong impression.

I have absolutely no interest in you.

I mean, we were once... At one time, we were...

I hoped you'd be living a happy life somewhere.

I don't expect to start anything again now.

Don't worry about that.

Yes. Don't worry about that.

That's a relief.

I hope it doesn't change for you.

My snail's much different now.

This isn't even sweet.

Right.

You did the right thing, Mi-yeong.

You did the right thing.

You did the right thing.

Don't forget, it's 60-40.

-You better not change the deal. -Hey.

He's a hot-shot art director. He's practically a prince in his field.

The more you take from him, the more you'll make.

Keep at it!

So it's all up to me?

Leave it to me.

I can't believe I'm sitting here with my two favorite Mi-yeongs.

I couldn't ask for anything more.

-Brother. -Yeah?

I have something to tell you.

Yeah, what is it?

I'm getting married next month.

Marriage?

-You're getting married? -Yeah.

Congratulations.

Yes.

As you know, I don't have parents or any money,

so I'm worried about my wedding day.

Mi-yeong, from now on,

I'll take care of everything you need for your wedding.

I hope I'm not imposing on you.

What are you saying? You're my one and only sister.

Don't worry about anything from now on.

The director?

Go on and finish your meal. I need to take this call.

-Mi-yeong. -Yes, what is it?

Listen to me carefully.

Listen to what?

I don't think you're really his sister.

-What did you say? -I saw you.

I saw you on the motorcycle with the private detective.

I... That...

He's the man I'm about to marry!

That's why we came together. Is there anything wrong with that?

Then why didn't you introduce him to Daniel the first time?

I'm sure we can do a genetic test with a sample like this.

-Please don't take it personally. -That...

Daniel has been looking for his sister for a long time.

I cannot allow people like you to take advantage of him.

He's a precious and important person to me

so I won't stand idly by.

This isn't even funny.

He was adopted into a nice family, succeeded and makes money.

I'm doing him a favor by giving his sister back to him.

We were both orphans anyways! Why not share the wealth?

I'd rather you rob him at knifepoint.

Do you know what the worst thing in this world is?

It's manipulating a person's sincerity.

You can't treat other people that way!

Who do you think you are?

What's going on here?

You must be in shock.

I really thought this time, this time it had to be true.

I've blinded myself.

I feel like an idiot.

No.

Why are you the idiot?

The people who took advantage of you are the idiots.

I come here every time I return to Korea.

When I sit here, I feel like I'd meet her again.

Brother, do you think we can see our parents from up there?

Yeah, of course we can.

-Let's look for Mom and Dad together. -Okay.

-Brother, I want some ice cream. -You want ice cream?

Yes.

Wait right here. I'll go buy you some ice cream.

Okay.

-Wait there. -Alright.

Oh, there's ice cream over there!

I'll go and buy some, so don't go anywhere!

Yeah, okay.

-Thank you. -Goodbye.

-Two ice cream cones, please. -Two ice creams?

-Yes. -Okay.

Mi-yeong!

Mi-yeong, where are you?

Mi-yeong!

I shouldn't have left her alone then.

It's my fault.

It's certainly not your fault.

You were at an age where you needed love and comfort.

I think it's time...

you forgave yourself for that.

Thank you, Mi-yeong.

I'll be your sister today.

Did you forget? My name is Kim Mi-yeong too!

Mi-yeong,

I'm going to stop trying.

I'm going to stop looking for her.

I think I'll have to trust that she's doing well...

and...

move on with my life.

-Daniel... -I want to...

start my own family now.

Before we leave for Paris, there's something I want to tell you.

Meet me at Duri Theater.

This is Lee Yeong-ja. My face is finally back to normal.

Really?

That's good.

The tea tree worked wonders!

It's cleared completely.

You must have had problems with your skin in the past to, Ms. Ellie.

But why are you still awake?

I have something I'm worried about.

Worried? Then why don't you talk to me about it?

I'm your number one fan.

I don't feel comfortable talking about this to a stranger.

That should make it even easier to talk then.

Besides, we're both women.

Actually,

a man told me that he wants to start a family earlier today.

Start a family?

What do you mean?

I have a feeling he's getting ready to confess to me.

Confess? Then do you mean...

Propose?

Yes.

Wait, Mi...

Ms. Kim, how did you feel when you found out?

What did you feel? What kind of emotions?

Over the last three years,

I thought that if I were to settle down,

it would be with this man, but...

But? But what?

But now that it's happening, it feels complicated.

I don't know what to do.

You know, a decision requires careful thinking

and plenty of time to consider.

Otherwise, it risks becoming a light relationship.

Do you think marriage is some sort of joke?

It's not a joke! Don't you agree?

So give it plenty of thought and consideration, and chew on it for a while.

Only then should you come up with a decision.

What did you decide to do? What's the result?

What are you going to do?

I don't know why I'm telling you this. Sorry for imposing my worries on you.

No, not at all!

It's not in the least bit imposing!

Consider me an older sister in life!

Are you older than me?

Yes, I'm older. Way older.

I'm your number one fan. Don't you think I'd know your profile?

I'm aware. I know it all.

Then, can I call you older sister?

Older sister?

Sister?

Sister?

Sister?

Why do I feel like I heard this before?

What am I supposed to say to that?

Brother!

What are you doing out here?

Why aren't you asleep? And why are you sneaking up on me?

What are you doing out here?

None of your business, go back inside.

Brother, can't you think about getting Ellie Kim for our project?

Dragon, go inside before I rip off your wings and turn you into a serpent.

Freeze! You dare dodge?

Freeze!

Freeze!

Dragon...

THANK YOU! ELLIE KIM

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

It's me!

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

I can't possibly drink out of this!

It's the least I can do for all of your hard work.

We're already thankful that you remember each of your staffs' names.

In my 10 years in this business,

I've never met an angelic artist like you before!

You're right.

Thank you!

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-It's so awesome! -I love it!

You didn't forget our date today, did you?

8 p.m. at Duri Theater.

Hey, you bumbling idiot.

Why are you so concerned?

You have no right to approach that woman anymore.

So stop sending her text messages. Don't do anything.

Just wish her the best of luck.

Wish for her happiness.

I'm leaving Korea tomorrow.

I trust that you'll take care of the painting

and leave him with you.

I'm sorry that we couldn't meet.

I hope you stay healthy.

Is she really leaving like this?

She's really leaving...

Where are you now?

I'm in front of Duri Theater.

I want to return the painting to you. I think we should meet.

Thank you for returning the painting to me.

I thought we wouldn't be able to meet.

Please let me know when you arrive.

A lonely man who lost his sister...

met a lonely woman who lost a child.

They both decided to share their loneliness.

-I think I may be pregnant. -Excuse me.

Be strong!

Father, don't be nervous, and be confident!

Be strong!

Amazingly, when both of them shared their loneliness,

the loneliness disappeared.

They will never tire.

They'll build a strong house...

and live a long and happy life together.

Mi-yeong.

Will you become my real family?

What's the real reason you want to work with us?

Is it because of my wife?

Yes, it's because of Mi-yeong.

But it looks like it still bothers you.

You should have treated her better when you had the chance.

I think it's far too late for that.

Can you please stop this?

Doggypoo belongs to us.

How can I stop now?

It won't be easy.

I'm good at spotting rough gems.

And Mi-yeong is the most precious one there is.
