Original subtitles

I like you.

You already know that.

You...

like me, too.

We said if we made a vow under this tree...

and kept it for ten years,

we would be happy forever.

When we carved that ten years ago,

we made a vow, Goose.

Don't worry about my mum.

I have a plan.

Hyeong Woo, I...

Don't say another word.

I know how you feel.

Just remember one thing.

Whatever happens,

I won't let go of your hand.

(Episode 3)

Thank you for the tea, ma'am.

The chrysanthemum tea was very fragrant.

Why don't you stay for dinner?

I'd love to,

but I have a meeting.

I envy you, Jeong Gi.

You live with no worries in a home with a great scenery.

Even I would want to retire.

Hello.

Sir.

Look who's here. Jeong Gi's pride and joy.

- Do you remember him? - Sure, I do.

When he was young, I said he had the look of a tiger.

You have grown up well.

I like the look in your eyes.

Thank you.

Jeong Gi.

Even sturdy trees break or fall in the wind.

You should protect your son.

This world can be a rough place.

What was he talking about?

Did you actually tell him that...

you would retire from the political world?

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you send her in?

I wanted to see if he would recognise his own daughter.

What?

I'm not saying I'm going to use her for political reasons.

Is it so wrong to let a girl meet her own father?

They didn't even recognise each other anyway.

Mr Kang's wife is still...

alive and well.

If he did recognise her,

don't you know what would happen?

I'm not stupid.

Before Cheong Mi died,

she asked me to let her daughter meet her father.

It was her dying wish.

- Was it? - Yes.

Don't you see how bad she felt for her daughter?

I'm not saying we should do something about it right now.

But later on, we would be able to tell her...

that the man she served tea to was her father.

Even so,

that was too risky.

You're the one who's taking a risk.

Mr Kang will never let you go.

What kind of a politician...

would set free a man who knows his darkest secret?

One wrong decision you make...

could end up hurting our son.

What do you think he meant when he was talking to Hyeong Woo?

Sang Hee.

Hear me out.

Let go.

Give me a chance to explain.

You already had your chance.

I told you everything about me right here.

So how...

How could you do this to me?

I thought of you as my only friend.

How could you do this to me?

- I'm sorry. - Does toying with me...

make you feel good?

You said,

"It's not a crime to like someone".

After saying that,

what did you do behind my back?

You shouldn't have said that.

Why did you even say that?

Because I like him.

- What? - I've...

liked him for a long time.

So...

Did you lie to me as well?

You liked him all along,

but pretended not to.

Seeing me suffer because he didn't notice me...

must have made you so happy.

I bet you loved seeing me fall in love...

with a guy who loves you.

It's not like that.

I envied you for having...

the courage to admit you liked him.

His mother thinks of me as...

a weed that has to be pulled out.

I don't dare confess my love to him.

I know he is out of my league,

so I tried to give up many times.

You can one day...

tell Hyeong Woo how you feel.

You're better off than me because you aren't hiding your feelings.

You should have told me.

You should have at least told me.

I was afraid.

I had kept my feelings buried deep inside.

If I admitted it,

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold back...

my feelings for him anymore.

I was scared I would lose control.

You idiot.

"It's not a crime to like someone." You're the one that said that.

You deserve to like whoever you want.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I really wanted to tell you...

but I couldn't. I'm sorry.

No.

I should apologise.

I jumped to conclusions...

without knowing how you felt.

Your mum told me to bring this to you.

Did she?

Didn't we just eat?

What's this? It looks like a sewing machine.

It's a music box.

Oh. That's fascinating.

It looks really old.

Is it an antique?

My grandpa gave it to my grandma when he proposed.

He was romantic like that.

My grandma was very good at making clothes.

So why do you have it?

My grandma doted on me.

She was supposed to give it to my dad,

but she gave it to me instead.

She told me to give it to my future wife.

Sir, why did you ask to see me?

I have...

a favour to ask of you.

What could someone like me...

do for you?

I would like you...

to open four more bank accounts...

under your name.

I would do anything you ask me to,

but isn't that against the law?

Please, just this once.

I apologise.

The lovely spring breeze

Melts away the winter snow

The heart of our little girl flutters excitedly like a butterfly.

It's autumn, not spring.

It's spring in the heart of our little girl.

- What do you mean? - What do you think I mean?

I can tell by the way the corners of your mouth is lifted up.

Something's going on between you and the boy next door, right?

The boy next door?

Are you talking about Hyeong Woo?

They were playing games for a long time.

But something has happened at last. Am I right?

That's just nonsense.

How dare she covet the congressman's son?

It's nothing like that, Dad.

Why can't she like him?

Are we still in the Joseon era?

Besides, she's not the one flirting. He is.

Will you stop it, Mum?

Look at her.

Don't give her any hope.

It's best to stay away from what you can't have.

Back when we were young,

I was way out of your league.

But you got me, didn't you?

This is...

a whole different class issue.

That's why you will never get to live the life of the upper class.

If she can marry the right guy, it will ensure her...

a high social status in no time.

Don't just think about yourself.

Why aren't you eating your dinner?

It's this month's calendar!

You punk. Why are you tearing it up?

I've been coming here for 20 years.

Other people say...

there are many other delicacies.

But there's a reason I like this place.

The food tastes the same after all this time.

It's not that common in a world that keeps changing.

Sir. My husband won't change, either.

You have nothing to worry about.

He will continue to work for you.

Even now, he's doing what you asked him to.

That's not what your husband told me.

He was adamant about resigning.

I was disappointed.

I will talk some sense into him.

Men may change the world,

but the ones who change the men...

are the women.

Don't you think...

it is about time...

he became a minister?

Sometimes I think...

you should have...

gotten into politics, instead of your husband.

Sure.

Depending on how he acts, I will take it under consideration.

Thank you.

Oh.

I met the new girl, your niece.

Do you mean Sang Hee?

A cousin of mine died an untimely death,

so I took her daughter in.

I've heard that you are good at reading faces.

What did you think about her?

I don't read faces.

But she looked confident.

I feel for her.

I don't know why.

Sang Hee, it's a holiday tomorrow. Let's go somewhere.

Where to?

I will show you country bumpkin...

a whole new world.

You're a country bumpkin, too.

You don't know this area, which makes you the bumpkin.

I will take you to some place nice.

- Okay. - Me, too.

Take me, too.

No way.

This is a friendship trip for girls.

Goose, now you're being mean.

When I invited you out, you said you were too busy.

I'm tagging along.

Why can't you take a hint?

- You can't come. - You can come with us.

Yay. She's the best sister in the world.

Why are you "Goose"?

You don't need to know.

Goose! Wait up!

- Are you ready? - Yes!

Here's the pizza.

What's that on your face?

Are you saving it for later?

Here.

Eat up.

- Here. - You startled me.

- Stop it. - Stop what?

- Can you take a photo of us? - Sure.

Smile, girls.

Are you ready? 1, 2, 3.

I'm off to the toilet.

Can you...

wait at that cafe for 30 minutes?

- Why? - Isn't it obvious?

I have to do something important.

I need your help.

If it works out, I'll make it up to you.

Okay?

Where's Sang Hee?

She's not as clueless as you are.

What do you mean?

- What are you doing? - In Zimbabwe,

this is what they say.

"You are like the sunlight that makes corn grow."

The Swedish say,

"I want to be a slice of butter..."

"that melts in your skillet."

The Namibians say...

"Will you help me..."

"milk my precious goat forever?"

What are you talking about?

This is so embarrassing.

This belonged to your grandmother.

You know what this means.

Once we enter university, we will move out.

- Move out? - Yes.

We can only get serious once we stand on our own two feet,

without the help of our parents.

I have saved up quite a lot.

We can start anew in Seoul.

I don't care what my mum says.

In Korea we say...

"Live with me until our hair turns grey,"

"like the roots of leeks."

That's not at all romantic.

Why the roots of leeks of all things?

Why not the roots of trees?

Now you're being silly.

Hang on.

- You have grey hair. - I do not.

What lovely weather.

A woman's hair is as important as her skin.

You have lovely, smooth hair.

It's too lovely to braid.

Men don't care about hair.

They only care about looks.

You're wrong.

What kind of a man will you end up marrying?

I want someone powerful and rich.

Someone who can protect me.

I want you to find...

a man who will love you more than anyone.

That's a given.

You would think so,

but that's the hardest part.

Did my dad...

not love you more than anything?

No.

I loved him more than he loved me.

Your father had too many things he had to protect.

My man just has to protect me.

Just me.

Why did you...

leave me all alone, Mum?

I see you're playing a game of ttakji.

I won a lot of them, Mister.

Have a look.

How dare you call him "mister".

He's a congressman.

A congressman is a mister, too.

Wow, good for you, Beom Soo.

You're the best.

Did you hear that?

The congressman said I'm the best.

Who else will take me on?

Oh, you guys have none left.

I have way more of them at home.

What are you doing?

Oh.

Is that really...

all he gave you?

Did he give you anything shiny and yellow?

Or something with a diamond?

Why would I receive something like that?

You should bleed the man dry when he's hot for you.

Will you let me listen to some music?

You silly thing.

Listening to that won't bring in any money.

You're no beggar.

This isn't even worth a bag of sweets.

Hyeong Woo's grandmother gave him this.

Did she?

Doesn't that make this an antique?

How about we bring this to one of those experts on TV?

Get out. Please, leave me alone.

Beauty doesn't last long. You need to start being realistic.

Dad. Is this yours?

What's this?

I don't recognise this.

Wait.

It's Mr Jin's handwriting.

Where did you get this?

I don't know.

It was in my bag.

How are you doing at school these days?

Aren't you happy with my grades?

You're smarter than that.

You know what I mean.

I want what's best for you.

You and Eun Soo...

Ma'am.

- What is it? - Well...

I came to see your husband.

He's in his study.

Why do you have this?

It was in my home.

Isn't it yours?

What was it doing at your house?

This is a copy.

The last three pages are missing.

Where's the original?

Sir. What are you talking about?

I asked where the original is!

Honey, is something wrong?

What brings you here, sir?

Where did you find this?

It was in my bag.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Who did you give the original to?

Why do you have a copy of this?

What are you talking about?

What's wrong?

This is very important.

Where's the rest of it?

I really don't know.

I didn't even know it was in my bag.

So you did come by our house.

- I did not. - Don't lie. There's proof.

It wasn't enough that you stole this but you also took the documents!

I gave her that.

She didn't steal it.

I gave it to her.

What?

Give me the original document.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Don't lie.

Did you give it to someone?

Are you trying to get back at me for not letting you date my son?

Tell me. Where is it?

Where's the original?

- Darling. - Mum!

Talk to me.

What have you done?

Are you trying to ruin our family?

Talk to me. Tell me.

That's enough.

- Come with me. - Let go of me.

- What got into you? - Can't you tell?

We need to find the original document.

Screaming at her won't help.

Maybe she really doesn't know.

This is not the time to act naive.

She might have just ended your political career.

What's in those papers?

It's none of your business.

- Apologise to Eun Soo. - What?

The music box.

I gave it to her as a present.

You jumped to conclusions and called her a thief.

Don't you know what that meant...

when your grandpa gave it to your grandma?

You can't give it to just anyone.

I know very well what it means.

That's why I gave it to Eun Soo.

I like her.

She isn't...

just anyone.

I did what Grandma told me to.

I gave it to her because I believe she's my other half.

What right do you have to call her a thief?

- Hyeong Woo. - Go and apologise!

That's enough!

I don't care who you like, but...

I cherish your mother as much as you cherish Eun Soo.

Watch your manners.

I apologise.

We need to talk.

What is it? What happened?

Eun Soo's always the problem.

That's why I kept saying we should send her family away.

I'm sure of it.

She took it and gave it to someone...

just to get back at me.

She scares me to the core.

Stop talking nonsense.

How would an 18-year-old...

know what this is and who would she give it to?

Why was it in her bag, then?

If a prosecutor or a rival politician reads that,

your career is over.

It may hurt Mr Kang too.

That's enough.

She's just a little girl.

What about her father?

He could be after the money you put in his accounts.

With that, he won't have to ever work again.

What is wrong with you?

He has been like family for over ten years.

If he wanted the money,

would he have brought me this?

He'd have packed up and left.

Then why did he give you a copy of it?

Think about it.

Why do most politicians end up behind bars?

It was because their secretaries or drivers divulged their secrets.

I know that you believe in him,

but you can never be sure.

Think about how bad this could get.

Talk to us.

What was that?

Why was the congressman here,

and why was his wife so upset?

How am I supposed to tell you what I don't know?

How did that end up in your bag?

Think carefully.

Did you ever leave your bag somewhere?

Someone else could've put it inside.

Did you stop by somewhere on the way home from school?

Madam Han was rude, though.

How could she call you a thief over something...

her son had given you?

Is it a crime to be pretty?

She's unbelievable.

Does being poor mean that she can look down on us?

Did I say anything wrong?

I was wrong.

Why did you come back, sir?

Eun Soo, I know we startled you,

but that document means a lot to me.

Do you really not know where it came from?

I don't, sir. I really don't.

Did you show it to anyone?

I didn't even know I had it.

I swear.

And you as well?

Of course, sir.

Why would I take something that is so important to you?

I only brought it to you because I recognised your handwriting.

I see.

I guess I overreacted. I'm sorry about that.

Don't apologise, sir.

What was it about?

I apologise to you, too.

Don't take what my wife said to heart.

I won't.

Let's go inside.

Sir.

I will return the music box.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Hyeong Woo and your memories are yours and his alone.

I'm so sorry us adults are hurting you.

I'm sorry for causing a ruckus.

There's nothing to worry about.

- Honey. - Let's not talk about this again.

They are our family.

But, Honey...

I told you not to talk about it.

Did you argue with your mother?

Not really.

I shouldn't have accepted the music box.

She'll hate me now.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Bear it for another 18 months.

We'll be in Seoul two years from now.

Do you remember what I said?

What if you two...

end up drifting apart because of me?

- She'll hate me even more. - Don't you worry.

My mum has my dad.

We have to live with whom we love.

Hatred only makes one upset.

I wish I could be as laid back as you.

I'm dying from worrying too much.

That's what I'm saying.

Worrying doesn't help at all.

All we have to do is plan and prepare for our future.

Once we have a dozen kids,

my mum will have to give up.

Where did those papers come from?

Why were they in my bag?

What could it be that got your father so anxious?

I don't know.

Some important documents went missing?

Yes, sir.

But don't worry about it.

I have it all memorized. I will write it up again.

It was in a girl's bag?

You would never make such a sloppy mistake.

Are you up to something?

What do you mean?

Are you trying to rattle me?

If you can't resign,

you could try to gain control with my weakness as your leverage.

Sir.

Forget it.

I was just kidding.

I know you aren't capable of that.

I was just concerned because we live in a world of betrayal...

and we're all treading on thin ice.

It does look like...

someone got a hold of those papers.

Even if that's true,

they won't be able to decipher it.

How can you be so sure?

What if something goes wrong?

I will...

take full responsibility.

But...

once this is sorted out,

let me go.

Very well.

But then...

children are known to lie sometimes.

Kids these days...

can be worse than adults.

Why didn't you push her harder?

How are you feeling?

Is there anything I can do?

- Do my homework for me. - Sure. What is it?

Forget I said that. See you at home.

Where are you going?

I remembered that I ate tteokbokki with Sun Young two days ago.

Maybe someone slipped me the papers then.

- I'm going to go check it out. - I'll come with you.

No, if you hang out with me too much,

Madam Han...

Your aunt won't like that.

See you tomorrow.

Excuse me.

I need to ask for directions.

Where's the nearest post office?

At the crossroads straight ahead...

Aren't we going to pick up your husband?

His secretary is with him.

Then where shall I take you, ma'am?

Hello?

Did anyone see you?

Very well.

Answer the phone.

Pardon?

Me?

- Hello? - Dad.

Dad, some strange men took me.

They kidnapped me. I'm scared, Dad.

What are you talking about? Eun Soo.

Dad, call the police. Come and get me.

Where are you?

Eun Soo. Eun Soo...

Ma'am.

What on earth...

I'll be brief.

I won't even ask if it was you...

or your daughter who took the papers.

Bring me the original and the missing pages...

by tomorrow morning.

Ma'am...

If you don't,

you will never see your daughter again.

These are my husband's orders.

Remember that.

Sir.

What is going on?

The subscriber cannot be reached. Please leave a message.

Eun Soo...

Did you have a productive day in Seoul?

I did.

The leaves are changing colours.

We should go hiking.

I'd love that.

This is delicious. Did you make it?

No, Sang Hee did.

Really?

You can cook?

Isn't it tasty, Dad?

It is. I'm very impressed.

You're smart, pretty, and you can cook.

You'd make a great wife.

Who taught you how to cook?

Your mum must have been a good cook.

She was sick, so she couldn't cook.

Are you saying that you're just a natural?

That's impossible.

Eun Soo taught me.

It's really good.

Do cook for us every now and then, Sang Hee.

(Daejeon District Prosecutor's Office)

What are you doing?

Are you going to school?

What got into her this time?

Where was she all night?

Eun Soo didn't come home?

She didn't. And neither did her dad.

I can't reach him on his phone.

They will be the death of me.

What's all this about?

- Who are you? - Congressman Jin.

I am Prosecutor Kwon Joon Hyeok.

You are under arrest for accepting...

illegal political funds and for kidnapping...

and detaining a minor.

What are you doing? How dare you.

This is a seizure and search warrant.

Get to it.

Father.

What's going on?

- What happened? - Kidnapping?

I don't know what you mean.

Didn't you order Shin Eun Soo's abduction?

Where is she?

Eun Soo...

Eun Soo was kidnapped?

Why?

Congressman Jin.

This is the document related to your slush fund, right?

Let's not make this difficult.

Your driver Shin Cheol Soo told us everything.

You barged into his home and caused a fuss over this.

This must be about the money.

These alphabets.

What do they mean?

You opened five accounts in Shin Cheol Soo's name.

A total of five million dollars.

If a mere driver has this much,

I wonder how much more there is.

This list has up to 70 entries.

They are all borrowed accounts, aren't they?

Say something, sir.

Keeping silent won't help you now.

- You kidnapped a girl over this. - I did not.

That's what your wife told your driver.

She said you instigated this.

Shall I bring her in as well?

Yes, you do that.

You can never get caught or mention me.

Let's talk again soon.

What's going on?

Was Eun Soo really kidnapped?

Don't you trust your father?

Would he do such a thing?

He wouldn't, so why was he arrested?

Someone framed him.

Shouldn't we do something?

Shouldn't we meet with a lawyer?

Hyeong Woo, go to Mr Hwang. I told him you would come by.

- And you? - I need to go to Seoul.

They will release him soon. Don't worry.

Do you think Eun Soo will be safe?

- Stop right there. Come here! - Hey!

Where are you going?

- Put her in the van. - Let me go!

Why are you doing this to me?

Mister.

My dad's a congressman.

You better let me go.

You messed with the wrong person.

Shut your mouth.

Or I'll tape it shut for you.

What are you doing?

- Come back! - Stop!

Let her go. We were supposed to let her go anyway.

Are you going to remain silent?

Does that mean that you admit to everything?

Mr Shin.

Is everything you said last night true?

You said Mr Jin told you to manage these accounts.

You also said that he ordered the kidnapping...

of your daughter, didn't you?

Yes.

Sir.

I have evidence and a witness.

Tell me about the slush fund...

before things get ugly.

Sir.

What did Eun Soo and I...

ever do to upset you?

I did everything you told me to.

How could you get people to kidnap...

my innocent little girl?

Where is she?

I want her back right now.

Where did you take her?

Tell me, you fool! Where is Eun Soo?

Tell me!

Sir, Shin Eun Soo just came home.

Are you all right?

- Did they hurt you? - I'm okay.

Why are you crying?

I was scared that something bad happened to you.

Don't cry, silly.

I said I'm okay.

Eun Soo.

Mum.

What happened?

Why do you look like such a mess?

Who did this to you?

What kind of a jerk did this to my precious baby?

I'm all right, Mum.

It's just dirt.

Are you sure?

So...

Was it really the congressman who had you kidnapped?

- What do you mean? - Eun Soo.

I know you're tired but I need you to tell me what happened.

Sir, please help him.

If he gets in trouble,

you may be dragged into this too.

Did you look into it?

And the prosecutor?

That is not good.

I'll be there soon.

Have Ku on standby.

- Sir. - What have you done?

What do you mean?

The kidnapped girl's father went to the prosecutor.

He gave them the accounts so there's no denying that.

Why did you do such a thing?

I told you that the original papers went missing.

I needed to get them back.

I had to do something to keep you out of it.

If someone got a hold of them, it would mean trouble.

But now because of you,

the prosecutors have a copy.

Now I am really in danger.

Couldn't you call the Minister of Justice...

or the Director of Public Prosecutions?

You're head of the ruling party.

It's not that simple.

Do you know who the prosecutor is?

It's Chairman Kwon's son.

There are 7 pages with 10 entries per page,

a total of 70 entries.

It is filled with numbers and letters of the alphabet.

There is also some kind of a code.

The code seems to be a unique creation,

not affiliated with any existing language.

Do you think you can decipher it?

These letters here seem to denote companies.

The other letters and numbers could be names...

or account details.

What are your grounds for that?

Please look at entry number 14.

It ends with "SCS".

Initials of Shin Cheol Soo, the driver.

Then could the code in the middle mean five million dollars?

That was the amount in his accounts.

I thought so as well and checked,

but this is not an amount.

It seems to be coordinates.

However, even if we do manage to decode this, we won't know...

what the coordinates mean without a confession.

What about access to his lawyer?

We can't delay that any longer.

It looks very bad, sir.

Your driver gave them incriminating evidence,

and then a girl was kidnapped.

There is no way out.

If news of this appears in Taepyungyang Daily tomorrow,

things will get even worse.

Can the prosecutors...

break the code?

I can't be sure,

but they will do their best to try.

They might detain and question your family and close relatives,

and search and seize papers...

from companies you dealt with.

How about pleading guilty to the accounts?

We can say the kidnapping was your wife's doing.

We can tell them that the codes are meaningless scribbles.

Put my wife in danger...

to save myself?

But it is true that she ordered the kidnapping.

What are Mr Kang's orders?

Your son is here, sir.

(Prosecutor's Office)

Yes, sir. I gave him the message.

I'm not sure. We can only wait.

Was it...

really you, Father?

Did you have her kidnapped?

Yes.

It was my idea.

Why? What for?

Politics...

sometimes requires you to have the heart of a beast,

and I did.

You're lying.

You're not like that.

Unlike Mum, you said you liked Eun Soo.

- Hyeong Woo. - You told me to stay pure.

I respect you more than anyone.

How could you do such a thing?

Why are you lying?

Listen to me carefully.

I took the wrong fork in the road.

I must pay for it.

You might...

get hurt even more in the future.

- What do you mean? - Even so,

do not blame anyone.

All of this happened because of me.

And you...

Promise me...

that you will never...

become...

a politician.

Hyeong Woo.

What happened?

Were you really kidnapped?

Are you all right?

What about your father? I heard he was arrested.

Was it because of me?

Sang Hee told me but that's not what happened.

Your father would never try to hurt me.

If that's why he was taken away, I will testify that it's not true.

That's what I told the detective.

I told him that your father thinks of me as family.

It wasn't him.

My dad would never do that.

It was someone else.

How can you be so sure?

What if something goes wrong?

I will...

take full responsibility.

Sir.

I apologise in advance...

for all the troubles.

- What got into you? - Come with me!

Was it you?

Did you have Eun Soo kidnapped?

Do you hate her that much?

Whatever those papers were,

you framed her for stealing them...

and tried to get rid of her!

Hyeong Woo.

Your father...

is dead.

(Glamorous Temptation)

Get out of this house!

What did my dad do wrong?

He did it to save me!

What was that for?

You at least have your mum.

I don't have anyone.

You aren't alone. We are family.

You and I are not related.

Can you run away with me?

I need to move on. It's over...
