Original subtitles

I was tormenting you...

as Lee Yeong-ja all long.

How could you do something like this?

It took me three years...

to forget about you.

How could you pull a prank like this?

What were you thinking?

Do I even need a reason?

-What did you say? -My ex-wife is now a famous artist...

so I was curious about her exhibit.

I liked this painting...

so I bought it.

But things became complicated when you called asking for it back.

You should have let the painting go.

The more I get to know you, the more amazing you seem to be.

You turn me into the fool

then put the blame on me?

Then...

what about the things we talked about?

What about those comforting words?

Sorry about that.

You left me no choice. I could hardly come clean in that situation.

It was all fake.

It was my bad. Sorry. My apologies.

Do you have any idea how much Yeong-ja's companionship meant to me?

I thought I'd finally found someone who understood me.

Someone who understood my paintings.

It was so comforting and I was so thankful.

Let's not drag this any further. I understand, so let's stop here.

I'll apologize for hiding the fact that I was Yeong-ja.

But to be honest, you didn't make it easy for me.

You were so gullible.

You've become worse over the last three years.

Yeah.

I can't help what you think of me.

Mi-yeong.

How I pity you.

You haven't changed one bit in three years.

Getting duped so easily...

and trusting people so easily,

when are you going to fix that habit?

This is why you continue to draw that...

-like some stubborn bear. -Get out.

-Now. -I'm leaving.

Oh yeah. I'll return this to you before I leave.

I don't know what this painting means to you...

but for me,

it's only a picture.

Get out.

It took me three years...

to forget about you.

So forget about me already.

You're one silly snail.

Just forget me now.

JANGIN CHEMICALS

As a result of our contracts

with Macau's leading resorts three years ago,

Jangin Chemicals is now enjoying a steady growth in China.

That is correct.

So in order to further our growth in China,

we are preparing to join hands with a commercial website

through which we will deliver our premium products.

This is the site we've selected.

They have market presence and credibility,

and carry only the very best of all-natural merchandise.

That is correct.

As our president seeks only all-natural products as well,

I believe this endeavor would align well with our company's slogan.

President.

President!

So you're saying that this website is a great global platform

for us to deliver our products into the Chinese market.

That's correct. And one more thing.

We won't have to worry about the shipping.

President, do you see that?

We plan to ship our merchandise safely with those.

Nice packaging.

Good quality and simple.

I expect everyone to work hard to create a premium line

and showcase Jangin Chemicals' dignity

to all of our consumers.

Yes! We did it!

KANG SE-RA

Mi-yeong, what are you doing?

I'm sorry, Daniel.

I promised that I'd stay until your project ends

but I don't think I can keep it.

I want to go back to Paris.

Is it that uncomfortable to stay here?

Do you remember the person who bought Le Soupir?

Yes, you mentioned that it was a lady.

Well, it turns out that it was Lee Geon.

What?

I'm sorry, Daniel.

For showing you this side of me.

Slow down.

Why are you drinking so fast?

It's going down smoothly today for some reason.

That's why it's a "drink".

-Se-ra. -Yes?

Your mother came by to see me the other day.

Oh, yeah.

I know, I heard.

I'm sorry.

It's hard for you, isn't it?

Staying as friends with me?

No.

Let's stop now.

Being friends.

-Geon? -You need to let go now.

You need to find your happiness too, Se-ra.

What's with you all of a sudden?

Se-ra.

No matter how hard you try...

or how much you flail about,

it's pointless if it's not meant to be.

There's no use.

It's useless.

Given the success of your first project and endless offers for your second,

I regret that you have to leave so soon.

I'll be sure to compensate you for any inconvenience

-with regards to our contract. -We can always change the conditions.

We'll continue to push your brand while you're in Paris.

Thank you for all your help.

Oh, there's a women's advertising event tomorrow,

and they're hoping that you can attend.

Would you mind attending?

It seems that your work with Jangin Chemicals

struck a chord with women everywhere.

I think it would be great to attend before you leave for Paris.

I'll think about it.

Mi-yeong...

Ellie Kim!

Ji-yeon.

Everything looks great here!

I always knew you were talented. You were always a great artist.

But why are you heading back to Paris?

No reason.

I feel more comfortable there.

How can it be more comfortable than being with family and friends here?

I guess...

I need to sign you up as a member

while everything is going so well for you.

I do extremely well with divorced people.

Thanks a lot for reminding me that I'm a divorcée.

If you sign up with me,

I can hook you up with President Lee Geon.

Would that be weird?

-What do you mean? Lee Geon? -Lee Geon is one of my VIP candidates.

To be clear, Chairwoman Wang signed him up.

She calls me once a week to find another girl like you.

Why is he looking for a girl when...

Doesn't he have a girlfriend?

What are you talking about?

Nothing! Single for three years!

The chairwoman is starting to suspect...

that he might be having problems with his lower half.

You'd know better than anyone. How was he?

Was he up for it, day and night?

Ji-yeon.

But are you sure he's single?

What are you doing there?

Well...

Want to have a cold beer with me? It is hot out.

You must have been thirsty.

To tell you the truth, I got dumped today.

What?

By who? Lee Geon?

Yes.

He said that there's no chance between us.

He doesn't even want to remain as friends anymore.

It may be difficult for you now

but I think it'll be best for you in the long run.

It's usually not a good idea to chase after someone

who's not interested.

I don't understand them at all.

He broke it off with a vicious lie three years ago...

but now that he saw her again, he can't help himself.

I even know about his illness and was willing to stay by his side.

But it's useless.

What do you mean? What illness?

What happened to Lee Geon three years ago?

What does it have to do with their separation?

He has a hereditary genetic disorder, and it appeared three years ago.

He didn't want Mi-yeong to suffer, so he drove her away.

If she knows this fact,

do you think Mi-yeong will still stay by your side?

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

I RELINQUISH CONTROL OF MY COMPANY TO CHAIRWOMAN WANG...

Doggypoo...

Are you doing well with your mother?

Ellie.

Thanks to you and this painting,

I was able to recall...

some of the best moments of my life.

Though I return this painting to you,

my heart will remember you forever.

I return this to you before I leave.

It's only a picture.

Are you not experiencing the best time of your life...

Maybe it's because it's Ms. Kim's work...

To live under the same sky as you...

Do you have a child by any chance?

Yes, I do.

I have an adorable child.

In a corner of your empty heart...

There was an awkward young girl that I used to know.

But in my eyes, she was really beautiful.

No way.

How can all of these be fake?

Mi-yeong.

Daniel.

Shall we race and see who's faster? Loser buys refreshments.

-That's silly. -Why not?

I'm exhausted.

I'm so tired.

I didn't know you'd take it so seriously.

Thanks for buying me these shoes.

I'm already regretting buying them for you.

Why is that?

They say that a person runs away from you if you buy them shoes.

I started regretting it after I heard that.

If I were to lose my memories,

I relinquish control of my company to Chairwoman Wang.

And I ask that Director Tak...

is appointed General Director reporting under Chairwoman Wang.

My half-brother, Lee Yong, shall be appointed Chief...

and is to be trained for corporate management.

Even if something

were to suddenly happen to me,

Kim Mi-yeong is not to find out about these arrangements.

She must never know.

I ask that you proceed with the previous terms without her knowledge.

Here is your new will...

according to your wishes over the last three years.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

Is there anything else I should add?

I bought an art studio in France.

Is there any way I can give it to her without her knowing?

I think you should tell her directly...

instead of writing these letters that you'll never be able to send.

I...

I don't have the right to do that.

If Mi-yeong ever discovers your will, she wouldn't feel moved.

She'd feel despair and blame herself.

I don't believe this is the best for her.

President, Ms. Ellie Kim is here to see you.

I'll be on my way.

See you, Mi-yeong.

I thought our business had concluded.

So what business do you have with me?

I'm here to return your money for the painting.

Look here, Ellie Kim.

I have plenty of money. There was no need for this.

It was my mistake, so I included extra as a penalty.

I guess it's good...

to be precise.

-What about that? -The words written there...

So...

they were empty words you wrote in order to be Yeong-ja?

Yes.

Is there something wrong with that?

I see.

Right.

I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow.

You're leaving earlier than expected.

I don't think I'm right for Seoul.

That might be the case.

But...

When you said that you were happy to live under the same sky as me,

it was Yeong-ja speaking, not you, right?

That was fake too, wasn't it?

You're acting quite odd today.

Why do you keep asking those pointless questions?

When I start thinking that it was you who was talking through Yeong-ja,

there are so many things that confuse me.

Look here, Ms. Ellie Kim.

I don't have time for small talk with you.

Please leave.

-Isn't it funny? -What's so funny?

Why do you seem so tense in front of me

even after I discovered that you were Yeong-ja?

Aren't you leaving?

-Attorney Hong. -Mi-yeong.

I thought it wouldn't take very long, so I waited for you.

You're going back to Paris?

-Yes. -I thought your contract says

-you're to stay longer. -It just turned out like this.

-Thankfully, they were accommodating. -I see.

Thank you for all of your help, Attorney Hong.

Not at all.

We go way back.

Listen, Mi-yeong?

Yes.

Have you considered working things out with Lee Geon?

Why are you bringing that up out of the blue?

You two seemed so good together.

I don't know why you had to call it off.

To be honest, I'm not sure either.

I don't know why he had to

cut me off like that three years ago.

I didn't think about it then because of my grief

but I'm starting to wonder now.

Look, Mi-yeong...

No, never mind.

Is there something you'd like to tell me?

No, I...

I hope you'll return again from France. I mean, Paris.

Yes, me too.

CT SCAN DIAGNOSIS

Everything's normal.

You're healthy.

You've been taking good care of yourself.

Yes, I have.

I work hard and I stay faithful.

But Doctor, why are you concerned with my health?

I'm your family doctor and you're an heir to the Lee bloodline.

Of course I'd be concerned for your health.

Thank you, Doctor.

But...

you never know when you'll be struck

with a genetic disease like your brother.

So don't be lax and continue to take good care of yourself.

Okay.

What?

Geon has a hereditary disease?

Chairman, Geon's been acting weird.

-I think his illness has manifested. -Illness?

Yong heard of it while he was at the hospital for his check-up.

I already knew about the disease, but I didn't think it'd happen to Geon.

Well, let's keep this from mother... I mean, from the old lady.

because she'll be shocked if she found out.

Of course.

I won't say a thing.

I wouldn't tell people about it...

when it's not even good news for our household.

I'm sorry for contacting you all of a sudden.

I have something I must tell you.

Sure, go on.

Do you remember...

meeting with me three years ago?

I do.

Do you remember the document I showed you then?

So he's giving up the child to you.

Of course.

How could I forget that?

Do you still believe Geon wrote that document?

Yes.

You're wrong, Kim Mi-yeong.

I...

I did it.

What are you saying?

I thought that if you left, Geon would return to me.

-So I made it up. All of it. -Se-ra...

I won't ask for your forgiveness.

I want to make things right if possible, no matter what.

And Geon is...

No, I'll stop here.

My pride won't let me go on any further.

It's up to you to untangle everything now.

I've told you everything I can.

WOMEN ADVERTISING CHOICE

Welcome.

Please have a seat. I enjoyed your commercial.

-Welcome. -Hello.

This is Mrs. Han.

-How do you do? -Hello.

Everyone loves you.

You've arrived?

Hello, Artist Ellie Kim!

-You're much more beautiful in person! -Oh, hello.

By the way...

What is it?

Oh, do I resemble someone you know?

I've met two people who look exactly like you.

Of course we're identical. We're triplets.

And I'm the oldest, the big sister!

I eat by myself and I!

I think I've overdone it again!

-I apologize. -Not at all.

-Please take care of me today. -Likewise.

Did you know that we'll be interviewing you today?

Yes.

But I'm not a good speaker, so I don't know if it'll be any fun.

Being funny is my specialty, so don't worry.

We have some time left, would you like to sit down and talk?

Yes, of course. Excuse us.

-Did you like my dance? -Yes.

We're talking with this month's Women Advertising Choice, Ms. Ellie Kim.

According to the industry's experts,

the commercial with Jangin Chemicals stirred

the emotions of women everywhere like a spring breeze.

So here's my first question to you, Ms. Ellie Kim.

A young girl lives inside every woman.

How did you come up with such a powerful concept?

You see...

You see, the concept was...

To be honest, it wasn't my idea.

I was inspired by another person.

Inspired?

Everyone, she had inspiration.

A necessary word for those in the advertising industry.

I wonder who it is that gave you this inspiration.

I had a friend I considered my older sister.

Actually, I first met her as my number one fan

who'd bought my most treasured painting.

When I wasn't feeling good and fell into a slump,

she was there for me,

lending me her ears and shoulders.

I'm thankful to her for the warmth she gave me.

It's not easy to find someone like that.

Are you keeping in touch with her?

No, we lost contact and I don't know where she is.

But I really want to express my thanks to her.

I don't know how it was for her...

but I was sincere.

What's everyone doing? Let's give her a round of applause!

Here.

You said you were staying longer. How come you suddenly want to leave?

I think I prefer living over there.

And you feel at ease there?

Yeah.

I was happy to see my daughter often but it's not for much longer, I guess.

Lady Anchovy Wraps, is anyone here?

You're not even supposed to be here tonight!

Leave.

What?

Then?

So?

Then what?

And then?

-What happened then? -Mom.

You should take the customer.

You shouldn't chase customers away without giving them food.

Mi-yeong?

I'll go after I eat. I need to eat to survive!

Thanks for the meal, Lady Anchovy Wrap.

That hit the spot.

And tell her that I won't come here again, so don't worry.

Tell her not to worry and to be happy!

Tell him that I've been meaning

to tell him never to return here again.

Tell her that in Korea,

everyone's free to eat at whatever restaurant they choose.

Tell her she's been cruel!

Tell him to at least pretend to listen

when I asked him not to visit my mom anymore.

Tell her that I've held back as much as I could.

Shut up. What's with the two of you?

Are you both trying to train me like some mutt?

If you're both done eating, get out!

I'm not going to deal with crazy customers like you!

How can you say that to your customer?

ANCHOVY WRAPS

Lady Anchovy Wrap.

Goodbye.

Be well!

That nutjob...

Why's he acting like he'll never return?

Mom, stop accepting him. It's not good for either of you.

He may not be right for you but you shouldn't hate him so much.

Hatred is also another form of love.

I'll stop by before I go to the airport tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Something's happened between them.

Doggypoo.

I'm leaving Korea tomorrow.

Doggypoo, can you wait for me...

until I become stronger and braver than I am now?

My dear Doggypoo,

I miss you so much.

Doggypoo...

I love you, Doggypoo.

Doggypoo.

Your mother's leaving Korea again.

Your father's being punished for being selfish.

Mi-yeong, this recording has nothing to do with you. So don't play it.

It really has absolutely nothing to do with you.

The button in the middle plays it

but make sure you never, ever press it. Please.

If I were to lose my memories,

I relinquish control of my company to Chairwoman Wang.

And I ask that Director Tak...

is appointed General Director reporting under Chairwoman Wang.

Kim Mi-yeong is not to find out about these arrangements.

She must never know.

I ask that you proceed with the previous terms without her knowledge.

There are to be no problems with the control of her estate.

And you must remember to

commemorate her birthday every single year.

I think you should tell her directly

instead of writing these letters that you'll never be able to send.

I...

-I don't have the right to do that. -Mi-yeong.

Oh, Daniel.

What are you doing? We should get going.

I was getting my bag.

Let's go.

Mi-yeong.

Remember when I told you I regret buying you those shoes?

Yes, you did.

When I think about it,

I must be the most idiotic person in the world.

Though I know I'll regret them, I keep making the same mistakes

just to see you smile.

What's the matter, Daniel?

If you leave like this now, you'll never forget him.

You need to find out for certain

how he really feels about you and what he's hiding from you.

Of all the stupid things I've done,

taking you to meet him...

is the only thing that will make you happy.

Where is Mi-yeong? Is she going to be late again?

She has a plane to catch. She'll be here.

No.

I feel a change in the wind.

You're usually right about these things!

I'm starting to get nervous.

If Mi-yeong doesn't show up,

can I take all the food you've prepared for her?

Stop getting restless and wait patiently.

She probably has things to take care of first.

Mom, that's your grandchild.

The name's Doggypoo, and he's a handful.

Mom, I'm not having such a good day today.

The woman I love most...

Of course, after you, Mom.

The woman I love most after you...

is leaving someplace far away today.

I tried to be cool about it, and I didn't even say goodbye.

So I'm thinking about letting everything go...

and leaving this place too.

If I continue to stay here,

I'll come across that woman again.

And although I know that I shouldn't,

I'll probably follow her around like a dumb puppy.

Father, how did you do it?

One woman is more than enough for me to handle.

I don't even have the courage...

to ask her to stay by my side...

because of this horrible disease.

How did you do it to two women?

You sure had pretty thick skin.

Mom.

Have a great time with Doggypoo.

Until I get there.

Okay?

He should be home, so just barge in.

If you call him ahead of time, he may avoid you.

Be assertive and aggressive!

-Can you do it? -Daniel.

I'm sorry.

And thank you for everything.

Go on now. Before I change my mind and hold you back.

Yeah.

I did the right thing.

Oh my, Mi-yeong. Welcome back!

What brings you here? You didn't even call.

I'm sorry for suddenly barging in, Grandmother.

No need for that!

You're welcome here anytime you feel like it!

Sit down.

Grandmother, where is Geon?

He said he needed to be somewhere this morning.

-What? -Why do you ask?

-Why do you want to meet with him? -I would like to ask him something.

What do you need to ask him? Ask me. I know everything about Geon.

It's okay, Grandmother. I think I should ask him directly.

Okay, alright.

It's better to take care of relationship problems personally.

Gosh, the moment you walked into this house,

it lit up like never before!

Grandmother.

-May I wait for him in his room? -I don't see why not?

You can even live there if you want!

This is nice.

I have a good feeling about this.

Will they work things out?

Director Tak, what is it?

Chairwoman, it's an emergency!

What's with all that noise?

The president has called for a press conference.

I tried to hold him back, but he won't listen to me at all!

-What are you saying? -I should have told you before.

Are you in front of a TV now?

What is he talking about?

With President Lee Geon's terminal illness revealed,

it seems that there will be a change in leadership.

They have scheduled for a press conference soon,

and countless reporters are on standby.

It's me, Lee Geon.

If you're watching this now,

it can only mean that the illness has taken over.

Amnesia.

Ask Dr. Octopus for details. He'll be kind enough to explain everything.

Listen to me carefully from now on. It's really important. Understand?

There's a woman that you love.

Her name is Kim Mi-yeong...

and she's from Yeoul Island.

She's kind to a fault...

and she knows how to warm people's hearts.

She's really lovable.

So how did you two meet?

You met her by accident in Macau...

and like fate, you made an adorable child together.

The name of the child is Doggypoo.

But Doggypoo isn't here.

Doggypoo's gone far away.

But you never forgot about Doggypoo, not even for a single day.

My Doggypoo...

has been looking after me until now.

I should...

let go now.

I should let the snail go too.

Forget her?

Forget her not? Do I or don't I?

You see,

I was sitting there.

As I stuff my face, I kept looking at her and to the ground.

Didn't even digest my food properly.

I...

I really wanted to sit next to her.

But I know I'll never be able to.

How can I ask her to stay? How can I tell her not to leave?

Darn it.

DOGGYPOO'S DAD

I know it's only been a short while, but won't you remain by my side?

I'm sorry.

You gave Doggypoo up back then. You gave him up completely.

JANGIN CHEMICALS PRESS CONFERENCE

I'm President Lee Geon of Jangin Chemicals.

Look into my eyes if you're not lying to me!

If you admit that you can live without me,

I'll really let you go.

Take that woman away.

No matter what the hardship is,

I believe I can endure it as long as I'm by his side.
