[Episode 52]

As you know, Miss Lee Jonghye
and I are engaged.

We'll be married after this film wraps.

Is it true Miss Lee will retire
after the wedding?

No, she'll continue making films.

This announcement may have
a negative impact at the box office.

Wouldn't you agree?

Absolutely not.

The power of true love will resonate
with viewers. The film will be a hit.

We hope we can count
on your blessings.

Can we get a picture?

Congratulations.

Want some company?

No, I want to be alone.

I suspect I understand what you're
going through better than anyone.

Sit.

And one for me.

I thought I was getting closer to Kitae.

You thought you had Jonghye.

In the end,
love found Kitae and Jonghye.

Don't be so sure.
I'm not through yet.

That kind of faith makes
a love impregnable.

I couldn't find a way in.

True love never gives up.

No, I'd like to think it doesn't.

Like you and Jonghye,
I want Kitae for myself.

But how can a one heart alone
compete with two?

You're pale. Are you ill?

No, I'm fine.

Is it because of Suhyok?

I can't forget the look on his face.

Forget it.
Whatever he tries, I'll stop him.

Forget him. And no talking about him
when we're together.

Ah, Choi Songwon's revisions
look good.

Better than original script, I think.

Forget everything else.
Just focus on your performance.

Fair enough.

Come home with me tomorrow.

To meet my mother.
And someone else.

Your foster father?

Uh-huh.
He'll be a father to you, too.

Okay.

Uh-huh, that's it?
Nothing else?

All right.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Taesong called.
Your dad is coming to Korea.

My father?

Uh-huh.
Did you mention your engagement?

Not yet.
I will when it's time.

Have you told Kitae about your dad?

Not yet.

This is your chance then.

Jonghye.

What?

Suhyok is here.

Should I send him away?

No, I'll talk to him.

I've been meaning to call you.

Why?
To invite me to the wedding?

To apologize for the other night.

I know why you rushed over.

I was too hard on you.

I'm sorry.

What is it with you?
Acting nice to the last?

Suhyok.

Cake-and-eat-it-too chicks tick me off.
I have one question.

What does Kitae have that I don't? How
can you ignore the love I feel for you?

That's all in your head.

Just accept the fact that I love him.

I'd hate for you to be
miserable because of me.

You don't know how it hurts
to see you ruin yourself over me.

It will get worse if you don't dump Kitae.

I'm already out of control.

I don't know how far I may go.

Suhyok.

If I can't have you...

neither will he.

Kitano Ryuji backs a Korean
expatriate in Japan. Lee Hyonsu.

He's Kim Punggil's business rival.

And?

He and Kitano Ryoji are
coming to Korea.

Oh?

My point is...

Lee Yonsu is Lee Jonghye's father.

Your bodyguards, sir.

Ah. Good with their fists,
are they?

Sir. He's a boxing champ.
The others are special forces.

I only want one thing from you.

When I say bite...
you bite and bite hard.

Understood?

Sir!

Good, good, you're built for it.

Kitae.

Oh, what's up?

I just got back from Sunyang.

Huh? Sunyang?

- Well...
- Well what?

My mom keeps nagging me
to get married.

Especially after she heard
about your engagement.

- You dating?
- Huh? Date? I never.

You just said.
Your mom set you up.

- I didn't--
- Good.

If you do, let me know.
I'll hook you up with a sweet tux.

Myonghi... Myonghi!

Kitae, don't just stand there.
Help me out.

With Myonghi?
You're on your own there.

Let's get going.

Don't laugh!

No giggling first thing in the morning.

It's nothing.
I have something for you.

What?

A house.
I'm getting you a new place.

I do not. It's fine.
Moving is too much trouble.

Really?

Fine for you, maybe,
but not with Mr. Kim staying with us.

Mr. Kim is living with us?

Why?
Isn't he welcome?

Are you kidding?

You're getting married, moving out.
He is certainly not welcome.

Come on, we'll still live together
when I'm married.

Pssh, so you say.

Yes, I do say, so stop fretting.

Well, if that's how it is,
what's the problem?

Then leave it to me.

Ah, I'm bringing Jonghye home tonight.
Try to be nice.

Already shielding your bit of fluff.

C'mon, Your Ladyship,
she's your daughter-in-law,

I'm not shielding nothing.

Hush, you.

Um, if we move,
can I have my own room?

We don't even know
how many rooms we'll have.

I told my mom you'll be
staying with us.

You shouldn't have.
I don't want to be a bother.

You never could be, don't worry.

I'll get ready for work.

- Kitae.
- Yes.

Lee Hyonsu is coming to Korea.

What?

My attorney called.
He's coming with Kitano.

He means to do business in Korea.

Do you know what
Kitano Ryuji wants?

In Park Chung Hee's day he helped in
a lot of crises between Korea and Japan.

No doubt he intends to make
connections in the new regime.

He's bringing a Korean expatriate.
A certain Lee Hyonsu.

- Lee Hyonsu?
- Yes.

I don't recognize the name.

But if he's with Kitano,
you'd do well to know him.

Gather as much advance
information as you can.

All right.

You won't take Mr. Kim's help?

Right.

I was counting on his money to help us.
What now?

I've asked for Ms. Song's help,
relax.

Oh, hey.

What's up?

Lee Hyonsu is coming to Korea.

What?

Who is this guy anyway?

He's the reason Mr. Kim
and I grew so close.

He's a big success in Japan.

And Mr. Kim's rival.

He's in tight with the Yakuza
and a lot of politicians.

He tried to have Mr. Kim killed.

Me and Kitae stepped in
and we've been close ever since.

Whoa, better than a novel.

But why is he coming here?

He intends to do business here.

We need more details.

Bitnara Productions.

Kitae, it's me. I set up a meet
with Chairman Kong.

Who are you kidding?

Even if every lender in Myongdong ran
out of cash, you would still have plenty.

I'm sitting on a time bomb.

A time bomb?

I'm holding promissory notes that may
explode in my face at any moment.

Not just me. Everyone in Myongdong
is holding bombs.

Promissory notes provided
by Jang Cholhwan?

How did you know?

I've heard about them.

So you can't provide capital
for Mr. Kang?

Since it's for you, of course I can,
not to worry.

Kang Kitae and Song Mijin are meeting
with Chairman Kong Songjin.

- Kong Songjin?
- Yes.

They must be getting desperate.

If what Mr. Kong says is right,
a storm is coming.

If Jang did pull a fast one,
he has someone in his corner.

General Jeong?

Yes. He put Jang in charge
of party finances.

If he knows, he's giving tacit consent.

Sleazebags.

Hey.

Meeting with Kong Songjin, huh?

If you're sniffing around lenders,
you must really be hurting.

How much do you need?

Ask me and I promise I'll give you
a good interest rate.

Playing with money now, are we?

Judging from your goons, I'd say
your rates are compounded daily.

Song Mijin, if they were,
you wouldn't qualify as a bar fly.

What?
This from a cheap two-bit grifter?

Looks like the bar fly has a death wish.

Easy, easy now.

Why, you want another shot?

Fine, go ahead, take your best shot.
I'm not scared.

Go on, try it.

I see you got bodyguards
to protect you from me.

Not to protect your person…

just to help you save face.

Please, less childishness,
more dignity, all right?

Let's go.

Hey, Kang Kitae!

Come back here!
You...Argh!

Please calm down.

What? Calm down?

What do I need you for, huh?

You should at least say something.

Instead of just standing there!

Kang Kitae.

Um, here.
It will look pretty on you.

For me?

Original Italian.

What's with you?

You're being nice.
It's creeping me out.

Creepy?
What's so creepy?

I'm a super sweet Kwangju girl.

Well, thanks.

It really IS pretty.

Hello.

Oh. Hey.

You're alone?

The other members are coming.

Um, ma'am.

Have you done any commercials?

Of course. I was doing two
a month back in the day.

Why do you ask?

Already eager for endorsements?

You can't get them just by wanting.
You need to practice.

Mr. No said he may get me
a commercial.

He got you a gig?

- Yes.
- For who?

Aurora Stockings.

What? Aurora Stockings?
That's my gig.

He said I'm doing it.

What?
What the..?

Thank you.

Not to worry,
when have I ever let you down?

Our girls will burn the house down.

Sure, sure, count on it.

Sure, sure,
we'll see you at the station.

Sure, sure.

You two getting along?

Mr. No, what's going on?

You said I had the
Aurora Stockings gig.

You said I had it.

Sit. Si-i-it.

The Aurora people told me
neither of you qualify.

Qualify?
Why don't I qualify?

I hate to say it, but the fact is
your legs are too short.

Same goes for you.

Think of it as clearing the way
for the younger generation.

We have a long way to go.
Clear what way?

You should be clearing the way for us,
not blocking it.

Seven Stars is in the
star-making business now.

What helps the company helps you.
Give me a break this once.

You're too much.

And I've been so loyal
to the company, too.

How can you do me this way?

Use the money from
Chairman Kong for taxes.

And the rest to cover production costs.

All right. I hate using a lender to put out
the fires, but at least they'll be out.

Have you heard about
Taeyang Pictures?

What's Jo Myongguk up to now?

He's been given the
Ministry of Culture's latest PR film.

Probably via Jang Cholhwan.

The best director, actors, crew,
a major production.

He'll probably try to get our actors
and crew, so keep an eye on it.

Inform me immediately
if there's any problems.

I will.

Oh, Mr. No wants a word.

No, I have plans.
I'll see him tomorrow.

Right.

Night.

How's my make-up?
Not too dark?

No, it's perfect.

And my clothes?
Not too loud?

Listen to you, you'll kill yourself
before the wedding.

What's got into you?

I don't' know.
I can barely breathe.

I bet Kitae's the same.

It's him.

Come in.

Here.
Can't come empty-handed.

It's cake.

Heh, yum…

Jonghye will be right out.
Have a seat.

Thanks.

- So, um, tea?
- No, I'm fine.

- Hello.
- Hey.

She's pretty nervous.
Help her relax, huh?

Would you hush?

If you're ready, shall we?

Not yet.
We need to talk.

Uh-oh, don't like the sound of that.

No, no,
it's just something I haven't told you.

What?

I've seen my father.

Huh?

He lives in Japan.

He went there after the war.

He has a new family.
I have two younger siblings.

Siblings, a family, that's great.

Actually, the siblings are a problem.

Why?

My father's estate. They see my
sudden appearance as a threat.

Take the estate out of the picture
and no problem.

Have you told your father about us?

No. He's coming to Korea.
We'll go see him together.

Good. I'll bring my mother
so they can get acquainted.

'kay.

How are the boys?

Not so good.

How so?

No work, no money coming in.

Dongman, why are you alone?

Well

Well?
Something wrong?

They were collecting from a guy in
Mugyo, got in a fight and got collared.

What?

Collecting?

The protection racket?

Yes.

Call the boys. Now.

Uh-oh.
Something's up.

Dongman.

Stand up!

Get up!

He's laying down a beating.

Go stop him.

How, exactly?
YOU stop him.

Take that.

Get up!

And that.

Get up!

Get up!

Listen up.

Protection rackets, shakedowns,
they're strictly bush league.

What were you thinking?

We have to make a living.

Come again?

Aren't you asking a lot?

You had to leave the country. It wasn't
easy, hanging on till you got back.

You got back and we thought,
“Now we're talking.”

But now?

You pay more attention
to Kitae's business than us.

You're our boss.

Not Kitae's flunky.

Sir!

Sir, Dongman wasn't in the wrong.
Please.

Mother, say hello.
We're here.

Oh, Miss Lee.

- Hello.
- Welcome.

Say hello to Mr. Kim.

Lee Jonghye.

You're even prettier than your movies.

You've seen her films?

Of course.

You're getting married.
I was curious.

The movie made me cry like a baby.

Shall we?

No, I have to go.

Where?

I'm meeting someone.

Have fun, Mrs. Pak.
See you again.

Goodbye.

Will you be okay without Dongchol?

Relax.
I can find my way.

- Goodnight.
- Night.

No Myonghi?

She got tied up at work.

You think she could make time
for her future sister-in-law.

- Come in.
- Thank you.

I enjoyed Tale of Sukhyang, too,
Miss Lee.

Thank you.

You, too?
Miss Lee this, Miss Lee that.

She'll be your daughter-in-law
for Pete's sake.

All right, fair enough.

You may not know it,
but Jonghye and I have met before.

When?

Before you went to Japan.

I told her she'd marry you over
my dead body and to break it off.

Why?

I think you can guess why.

But seeing you now, I find myself
thinking, “Well, it's meant to be.”

I know my old objections were wrong.

I hope you'll forget what I said then.

Thank you.

And time's a-wasting.

The sooner you're married, the better.

All right, as soon as this movie wraps,
we'll set the date.

You don't have to worry about
the wedding.

I know you don't have any family.

I don't want to give you the burden.

Jonghye found her father.

Siblings, too, but only half-siblings.

Really? What do you know?
That's great.

He's in Japan, but he's coming here.

We'll introduce you.

Of course.

Wonderful.
Just wonderful.

My dear

I was way too nervous.

Your mom was so warm and sweet,
I'm dizzy with it.

- Happy?
- Very.

I hope your dad likes me.
It's got me worried.

He'll respect my decision,
you can relax.

Huh?

What the--?

What are you up to?

You. Come here.

Come H-E-R-E.

What's the idea?

Huh?

Wha..?

Hey, come back here.

It's been a while.

A boyfriend and everything,
you're growing up.

He's not my boyfriend.
He just follows me around.

What, he follows you around,
so you're all pucker-girl?

Wait at home.
Whack!

Wet behind the ears,
carrying on, I swear.

What about when you were at school?

I was pure and good and stuff.

Dongchol says you were had girl
trouble from middle school on.

I never..!

Sundok, whack!

I have some conditions
if we're going to work together.

Go on.

First, hands off Kitae.

He's trying to build his own business.

There's no overlap or competition
between the two of you.

So lay off.

If he leaves me alone,
I'll leave him alone.

Not to worry.

Anything else?

You know Lee Hyonsu?

Lee Hyonsu?
Who's that?

You'll find out soon enough.

He'll approach you first.

You can't work with him,
no matter what.

Those are my conditions
to working with you.

I don't know any Lee Hyonsu,
but I'll keep that in mind.

Push back my meeting
with Ahn Dongsu.

No one is allowed in.
Especially not you.

All right.

How did it go?

He's a sly old fox.
He warned me off of Lee Hyonsu.

What will you do?

My goal isn't to work with Kim Punggil,
it's to get his money.

I have to plan accordingly.

He can't see it coming when I hit him.

Set up a meet with Lee Hyonsu
when he gets here.

Sir.

A list of directors and actors
available to work with us.

What about Kitae's people?
Surely we can tempt some of them.

It won't be easy.

Include Lee Jonghye on the cast list.

Lee Jonghye?
Would she work with us?

It doesn't matter.

This list goes to the Ministry of Culture.

They can approach her.

It may be sour grapes, but if we can't
cast her, they'll apply the pressure.

Yes, sir.

I accept your offer.

Better late than never.

Where do we go from here?

Oh, I suppose I need
a sign of your good faith.

To show that you're through with
Kang Kitae and working with me.

Wash your hands of his
nightclub businesses.

I'll take care of things from there.

How was your blind date?

Whatever.

Myonghi is the only girl for me.

A little help.

C'mon, she's out of your league.

You can't keep up with her temper.

That's why I need help.

Forget it, you're on your own.

I meant to call you.
What's up?

Mr. Kang, have you seen Jo Taesu?

Sure, yesterday.
Why?

He's having trouble with his boys.

How do you mean?

I don't have any details,
but there's some friction there.

It's putting Mr. Jo in a tight spot.

I don't like working with him.

But I'm not in this alone.
I have my boys to look after.

If you can't see that,
I have no choice…

but to throw in with Jang.

What are you doing here?

Can't stay away, huh?

I was passing by.

Mr. Kang?

Why?

I need to talk to him.

What about?

Chaeyong.

I thought as much.
Stay out of it.

She's really hurting.
I can't stand by and do nothing.

What else can you do?

What good is talking about it?

Think you can talk him
out of marrying Jonghye?

No, not that so much.

But he should at least know
how heartbroken she is.

Fine, fine,

I'll say something
when the time is right.

Your own shop?
Where did this come from?

Not right now.
But in time.

Is it something I did?

Not at all.

How could you?
We've been together forever.

It's not right now, settle down.

But in time!

I won't have it. You can't go.
The end. Hmph.

Hey.

Is it ready?

Yes, almost.
Wait a few minutes.

What has you so upset?

Stupid of me to ask.

No, I'm the stupid one.

I saw this coming
and still let myself fall in love.

We're similar in a lot of ways.

We appear proud,
but we're both lost in unrequited love.

True.
Part of what makes us friends.

For me, I never denied
what I felt for him.

Because that would be
denying part of myself.

I hope you'll never deny how you felt.

You're right, denying love.
How sad is that?

Chairman Kong?

We're using the money now
to put out fires.

Thanks for your help.

You never know when you need
ready cash in business.

It's just as well you two are acquainted.

True.

Thanks for your valuable time.

Not at all,
I wanted a word with you anyway.

What did you want to see me about?

I understand Kitano Ryuji is
making an official visit to Korea.

Kitano is a powerful figure in Japan.

It has them all worked up.
Meetings with General Jeong, the lot.

But I'm surprised
that you brought it up.

A Korean expatriate named
Lee Hyonsu will be with him.

How do you know him?

He and Kim Punggil have a history.

He may plan on doing business here.

I'd appreciate anything
you can find out.

All right, I'll look into it.

Well?

The KCIA Japan station's report
on Lee Hyonsu.

Something interesting there.

What?

Lee Jonghye is his daughter.

What?

They were split during the war.
Lee Hyonsu went to Japan.

He sent someone to find his daughter
a few years ago. It's Jonghye.

She never mentioned it?

No. Never.

If he's her father...
what's it all mean?

Yes, I see.

No, no, not at all, Mr. Shin.

We're sorry.

I'll tell Jonghye.
Yes, sorry. Goodbye.

Mr. Shin?

He spoke with Oh Miyong
at Venus Cosmetics.

They're not renewing
your endorsement deal.

Because of the
wedding announcement.

I'm older. Let the young girls
have the contract.

Oh, you're breaking my heart.

- I'll get it.
- Uh-huh.

- Yes.
- It's me.

What is it?

I'm heading to the airport.
You're dad's coming in today.

I thought it was tomorrow.

It was, but it changed.
What now?

- Bring him here.
- All right.

- Today?
- Uh-huh.

But we're not ready.

Come with me.
I'll take care of dinner.

Okay.

- Bitnara Productions.
- It's me.

I'm sorry,
but I can't make dinner tonight.

Why?
Something wrong?

My father is flying in.
I'll be with him at home.

Oh? Shall I bring my mother
by tomorrow?

He can meet me, too.

All right. I'll tell him.

Meeting the in-law, huh?

Guess so.

Chairman Lee.

Hello. Jang Cholhwan.

I've heard a lot about you.
It's an honor.

You flatter me.
I appreciate your valuable time.

Shall we?

Lee Hyonsu is here. The first person
he met was Jang Cholhwan.

Mr. Jang?

They're at Jang's hotel now.

Who knows what Jang's up to now.

He'll want to use Lee Hyonsu
to get back in with the President.

He'll use the rivalry between Lee Hyonsu
and Kim Punggil to his own ends.

Won't it ruin our plans if
Lee Hyonsu works with Jang?

Who is it?

Okay.

Mr. Lee.

Hello.

I see films are keeping you busy.
You look great.

Doing all right, Gyongsuk?

Yes, of course.
You're looking better yourself.

You must be hungry.
Shall we eat?

Sounds good.

Is everything all right? I was surprised
that you showed up like this.

Nothing in particular. Other than using
work as an excuse to see my little girl.

More soup?

Please.

Jonghye made dinner tonight.

Oh? No wonder.

It reminded me of your
mother's cooking.

How long will you be in Korea?

Longer than usual.
I have a lot of people to see.

I thought we might visit Muryong.

Muryong?

They reared my little girl.
I'd like to pay my respects.

I'll adjust my schedule to suit yours.

And...
there's someone I want you to meet.

My fiancee.

Fiancee?

I'm sorry I didn't mention it sooner.

I thought you didn't want
to get married.

He's the president of
my management company.

He treats me well,
with love and respect.

Then I'll have to meet him.

I won't lose you to some bum.

If I don't like him,
he'll hear about it.

Fair enough.

But I know you'll love him, too.

Is tomorrow all right?

Perfect.

Good.

I'm hoping to have dinner with Jonghye's
father tomorrow, if you're both free?

Me?
Why ask me?

You're like a father to me,
you should be there.

Be that as it may,
won't it seem strange?

What if it does?

I just hate for there to be
any misunderstandings.

Don't make something out of nothing.

There won't be any.
Don't let it bother you.

Whatever you say.

Why are you so nervous?

Nervous?
Who's nervous?

Mrs. Pak, you look lovely today.

Anyone would think you're on a
date instead of meeting the in-laws.

Come on, don't kid.

You're already here?
Forgive me.

Not at all. We're early.

Hello, Mr. Kim.

Your father?

He's coming.

Father, Mrs. Pak.

Hello.
I'm Kitae's mother.

Jonghye, a word.

Father.

Excuse me.

What's going on?
