Original subtitles

It feels...

cold.

It's cold...

and dark.

You want to change your legal representative?

Yes. My father is...

in the hospital right now.

Chief Director Jeong probably has all the voting rights now.

-Is this a fight over the company? -I'm defending it.

-Who will you change it to? -My brother.

There is no one who doesn't know me among Jeguk Group's lawyers.

I know that, but I'm still asking you for a favor.

For now, I can't trust any of the lawyers from our group.

I must change my legal representative before the special general meeting.

Please become...

my lawyer.

Chairman Kim owns 13.6 percent of shares, and Mrs. Jeong owns 4.7 percent.

Chairman Kim's brothers own 5.2 percent, totaling to 23.5 percent.

You and Tan own 23.1 percent,

and together with 5.37 percent owned by Jeguk Holdings,

it adds up to about 28.5 percent.

The key is how we can acquire the four percent of borrowed-name shares

managed by Father's people,

nineteen percent owned by foreigners,

and 25 percent owned by local shareholders.

Out of those shares, how much do you think you'll be able to acquire?

Let me meet those who are on Father's side.

You said they were all on Father's side.

But why isn't anyone coming?

Between loyalty and benefit,

I guess they've chosen the latter.

Thank you for coming.

I worked 20 years under the chairman. Of course I came.

I guess everyone else thinks differently.

I'm glad you all came.

I'll try my very best, so you won't have any regrets.

Even Ms. Lee of RS International has joined us.

I feel much more relieved now.

I haven't decided whose side I will take.

What I want is taking the opposite side of Chairman Kim,

but I'm not sure...

if this is the opposite side,

or if I should be on President Kim's side.

Chairman Kim fainted?

Yes. Yesterday afternoon.

He's still unconscious.

That's why he didn't call me.

Which hospital is he in?

Tan isn't at the hospital.

-He went on a business trip with my dad. -A business trip?

It will take ten days.

They have to meet foreign shareholders and receive a power of attorney.

Is something wrong with the company?

It seems so.

My dad said it wasn't a business trip, but an entry into a war.

They're probably in the plane by now.

Are you nervous?

A bit.

Do you know the reason...

why you're coming too?

Yes.

I'm a young man who might lose his father soon...

and a young son who the chairman...

loves dearly.

You're right.

In the end,

business is about moving someone's heart and making them sign a piece of paper.

How did my father fight...

in this sort of war for 20 years?

I'm as curious as you are.

Get some sleep. We have a tight schedule ahead of us.

I'm sorry for not calling.

This is the owl you wanted, right?

Forgive me since I got it for you.

I might not be able to call you since I'm going on a business trip.

You'd better not cheat on me while I'm gone.

I'll be back.

I'll miss you a lot, Eun-sang.

-Father, are you-- -I might be taken into custody.

So I'm going to make a voluntary appearance tomorrow.

Then, what's going to happen?

Will you get arrested?

Listen to me carefully.

Don't trust anyone

and regarding the hotel,

the only person you can trust is the vice president.

If you have anything to say to me,

or if someone asks you for your opinion, you must...

go through Attorney Choi.

Do you understand?

If I don't get released soon,

go to your aunt's house.

Don't stay home alone.

Do you understand me?

Even if I'm not around,

don't neglect your kitchen duty either.

I'll be out soon.

Let's eat.

This is breaking news. The prosecution has issued an arrest warrant

for President Choi Dong-uk of Jeguk Hotel on the 14th.

The Criminal Investigation Team of Seoul District Prosecutors' Office

issued a warrant for Mr. Choi on charges of professional negligence

and financial malpractice--

What about my father?

Have a seat. Attorneys Park and Lee couldn't come

because they had to go to court.

What happened?

Do you know why your father hired seven lawyers?

He doesn't want you to worry about him

since we're the ones who are taking care of your father.

You can just act like usual,

and go to school too.

The vice president will manage the hotel for now.

You don't have to worry.

Okay.

Your father asked me to tell you this.

"You must follow the rules,

and you can't cheat."

-Are you kidding me? -What?

-Does that make sense? -What?

-You didn't know? -What are you talking about?

What is it?

What's wrong?

Who is that?

Choi...

Yeong-do.

Choi Yeong-do?

The guy who bullied you?

Oh, that's him?

The son of that hotel owner?

Why are you here?

You still want to bully me?

That is not...

why I am here.

I wanted to say...

that I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything. I mean it.

I want to apologize.

I'm really sorry for everything.

I'm surprised to find out that you know how to apologize.

But if you're truly sorry to me,

you should live in guilt for the rest of your life.

Okay. I will.

I won't accept your apology.

Never.

Don't ever come here again.

Let's go.

TAN LOVES EUN-SANG

It seems like Seoul got a bit colder since you're not around.

This is breaking news. The prosecution has issued an arrest warrant

for President Choi Dong-uk of Jeguk Hotel on the 14th.

The Criminal Investigation Team of Seoul District Prosecutors' Office

issued a warrant for Mr. Choi on charges of professional negligence...

I just saw Yeong-do's father on the news.

How would it feel to see your own family member on national TV?

Can you imagine the weight of that misfortune?

In a world where everyone wishes to be a part of,

all of you must have gone through a lot.

When I come to school earlier than anyone else every morning,

I sometimes see someone drawing a chalk outline of a corpse.

I was shocked...

because it was not just one person.

One day, it was Hyo-sin...

and one day, it was Ye-sol. Another day, it was...

Myeong-su, who I didn't even imagine doing it since he was always bright.

And one day, it was Rachel.

And today...

it was Yeong-do.

Was it after I learned that it could be any one of you?

I couldn't be jealous of anyone at this school or hate anybody

like I did before.

TAN LOVES EUN-SANG

Tan.

Have you ever...

drawn that chalk outline alone, early in the morning?

Thank you.

There could be too much pressure on you

or you could feel like life is too harsh.

Sometimes, you could feel sad.

But I hope you can do more than just get hurt.

Sir, could you please sign this?

I don't think I can.

Here.

I hope the weight of that pressure...

doesn't become the reason you give up.

I miss you, Kim Tan.

DAEHAN HOSPITAL

I'm back, Father.

His condition has improved.

His brain swelling has started to subside.

How did your business trip go?

Some couldn't make up their minds, and some didn't want to side with us,

but a majority of shareholders signed the power of attorney.

Tan played an important role.

Good work on your first business trip.

How were things in Korea?

As we expected, Father's dismissal was accepted as the agenda of the meeting.

If it gets approved,

the owner of Jeguk Group will change,

and an endless cycle of trials will begin.

Whatever happens,

I'll prepare for the worst.

We can't leave the house empty either.

When Father's not home, we have to protect it.

Let's move back in together.

I have something to tell you.

I want you to go and meet Yeong-do.

You can still talk to him, right?

Mr. Choi is being investigated by the prosecution right now.

He won't make it to the general meeting,

and Yeong-do will have to be entrusted with his voting rights.

I'll talk to him.

In return, promise me one thing.

What is it?

Even if Mr. Choi gets arrested,

continue your project with Zeus Hotel until the end.

As long as I don't lose my position, I'll make sure of it.

You're working hard, Eun-sang.

Chairman Kim didn't regain consciousness?

-No. -Is the general meeting going to be held?

Yes.

Did your business trip go well?

Yes.

I didn't cheat on you.

You're being very nice, now that you feel sorry for me.

I have a favor to ask you.

Can you hold my hand?

Hey, who holds hands using strength?

You have to do it with your heart.

It's because my heart is strong too.

Just stay still.

Were you worried?

I'm sorry.

I'll do my best to overcome this.

I missed you.

Hang in there, Kim Tan.

Okay.

I'm sorry for visiting you like this regarding my family matter.

It's about the general meeting.

Has the agenda for your father's dismissal been approved?

-Yes. -By Mrs. Jeong?

Yes.

Moms are always the problem, whether you have one or not.

Help me.

Even if we can't be friends,

I promise to pay you back one day.

Pay me back now.

Consider this...

your compensation for me saying bad things...

about your mother until now.

You don't have to come.

Just send a power of attorney to your lawyer.

Okay.

What about your father? Is he all right?

Worry about yourself.

You're still a jerk even when I worry about you.

Thanks.

Go now.

I have to go do the dishes.

Dishes?

The only thing I can do right now...

is wash those darn dishes.

What brings you here?

I came here as the vice president of Jeguk Construction.

-Have a seat. -You can stay seated.

I came here to ask a favor

and I must make you promise one thing.

So I'll just try to be as polite and pathetic as possible right now.

Is this because of the general meeting?

This happened as soon as I became vice president.

I'm afraid I'm a disaster to Jeguk Group.

Are you trying to gain sympathy from me today?

I'm willing to do anything, as long as it works.

You came here to do business.

How can you hope you could succeed, just by using your charm?

I'm glad my charm still works on you.

Give me the letter of attorney. I'll sign it.

I'll be too busy to make it on my own.

Thank you.

I hope...

everything goes well for you.

You, too.

I guess you are desperate to get my father's vote.

Yes.

You know that sounds like you're willing to get married, don't you?

I do.

Will you come to the general meeting?

Will you be okay with marrying me?

2ND SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

Now, we will begin the special general meeting

regarding the dismissal of Chairman Kim Nam-yun of Jeguk Group.

Those still outside, please come inside and take your seats.

BALLOT BOX

I will announce the voting results.

Regarding the dismissal of Chairman Kim Nam-yun of Jeguk Holdings...

Fifty-two percent opposed the dismissal.

Forty-four percent are in favor of the dismissal.

Lastly, four percent abstained.

The terms of this resolution have not been reached,

and the dismissal of Chairman Kim Nam-yun of Jeguk Group

has not been approved.

This will be the end of today's meeting.

Don't be happy that you won today,

and don't let your guard down either.

Although you two won today's battle,

this is only the beginning of the war.

Thank you for giving us the chance to distinguish who's our friend

-and who's our foe. -Don't act up.

I'll be seeing you again soon.

It might be next year, next month...

or in two weeks. Who knows what will happen?

Chairman Kim has regained consciousness.

The doctor will schedule his surgery right away.

How did it go?

I was worried because of the remaining edema,

but the operation went well.

I will check up on him once he wakes up.

Thank you.

He's the man who kicked you out of the house.

Don't cry.

Welcome.

Yeong-do.

Hello.

How...

have you been?

Not good.

You've grown so tall.

My son. You look so handsome.

Mom.

Yes.

Mom...

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Yeong-do.

I'm sorry I couldn't wait for you longer.

I was going to go back to see you.

I'm sorry I couldn't.

I picked some of the best ones that I used.

I checked all the questions that come out on exams frequently.

Those books mean a lot to me.

This is my lucky day. Thanks, Hyo-sin.

I should thank you.

You were a streak of light in my dark high school life.

Thank you, Eun-sang.

You talk as if you're going away somewhere.

Study hard.

I hope you and Tan continue to shoot

that boring, romance movie like you've always done.

Are you really going somewhere?

The one you are looking at is the most popular look

of the new Fall-Winter line up.

Our sales continue to rise not only among the VVIP guests

but also among the regular customers.

Good. Style always has to be a part of our functional clothing.

Slim and warm, slim and able to help produce heat,

slim and flexible...

In short, our clothing must make people look slim no matter what.

I'm pretty satisfied with this new line of clothing.

But can you really trust the taste of a high school student?

You have talent and a good sense for this business.

Just take an overall look.

They all look warm and nice.

I really hate being cold.

Do you want to travel somewhere warm? How about the Maldives?

You and me to a honeymoon destination?

Forget it.

Just think of it as two single ladies without fiancés going on a trip.

Why did you ask me to come?

And what's this about a trip?

You seem to be taking my sleeping pills.

I'm having trouble sleeping.

It was only a few times, so don't worry.

I can understand everything.

I'll put in a call to Doctor Han.

Go and receive a proper prescription.

Okay.

It's Rachel Yu.

Can you please take a seat and wait?

You have an appointment here?

It's my first time.

I'm a regular here.

Why are you here?

In order to live.

Why are you here for the first time?

Because I'm having trouble sleeping.

-Gosh, this is bad. -What is?

I keep sharing my secrets with you.

We're not the type to start dating, don't you think?

Focus on your studying. You have to do better next year.

-I'm joining the army. -What?

This is a secret too.

No one knows yet.

Is there a girl who will wait for you?

I'm not sure.

Hey, Lee Hyo-sin.

How did you know?

I didn't know you'd find out earlier than my mom.

How could you do this so suddenly?

Why are you joining the army now? You haven't even graduated yet.

Don't make a fuss about it. You'll have to go one day too.

But how can you leave like this?

Did your parents approve of this?

I don't remember receiving approval for anything for the last 19 years.

I'm going secretly. I need some time to think.

They would've found my letter by now.

You've lost it.

This is the only way I can stop my mom.

Hey, you're totally insane.

I can't deny that.

Don't get hurt.

You psycho.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

What are you doing? Are you making bean powder?

You should've asked me.

But isn't this too much for just the two of us?

I'm going to send it to your sister.

Did she call you?

She sent me a text.

She found a job, and she even bought a cell phone.

Is that it? Didn't she say anything about the money she took?

What's her number? Tell me.

Why? What are you going to say?

What do you think?

I'll tell her you're very healthy, and I'm doing fine too.

I'll tell her I miss her very much.

And that since we're living happily,

she doesn't need to worry about us.

Eun-sang, are you really happy?

You've been through a lot of trouble because of me.

What are you talking about?

I'm so happy to be your daughter.

I'll grow up and make your life much happier.

I love you, Mom.

It's my boyfriend.

Yes, it's me.

Where? The hospital?

The hospital Chairman Kim is at?

Mrs. Jeong Ji-suk.

I heard you did something daring while I was lying in here.

I didn't gain much from it.

You should've waited a bit longer.

You've endured a long time, without losing your composure.

Why did you throw away

your chance to be compensated?

In order to have more.

It was a long-awaited plan of mine.

I also have...

a long-awaited plan in mind.

That's why I called you here.

Mrs. Jeong Ji-suk.

Let's get divorced.

Let's do that.

This time...

I should be well-prepared.

Although I can't have Jeguk Group to myself,

I can make you lose half of it.

That's what a spouse on paper is capable of.

You heard that, right?

Prepare for a divorce lawsuit.

Yes, sir.

Father, Eun-sang is here.

I'm glad you regained your health.

These might come in handy when you feel bored.

There's no need to flatter me.

Still...

I want to give it a try, sir.

It took her a lot of courage to come. Don't be so harsh on her.

I'll continue to pay you back.

You have to stay healthy until I finish paying you back.

In order for you to pay back your debt fully,

I'll have to stay alive for a long time.

What debt?

I'll see you next time then.

You don't need to come again.

Thank you for the books.

How do you feel, Mom?

I feel good. I feel so happy right now.

Is there anywhere you want to go?

Next time. I can't feel my legs right now.

I think I walked too much.

Enjoying freedom isn't an easy thing to do.

Why did you wear those high heels?

Wear something comfortable next time.

That's not going to happen.

My dream was becoming a Miss Korea.

I can't give up on high heels.

Goodness, Mom.

We should do this more often.

You're always too busy.

I have to stay busy, so you can live comfortably.

Weren't you just pretending to be busy?

Dad, smile.

In one, two, three!

Are you sending that to Bo-na?

She said she can't breathe if she doesn't see me for an hour.

I bet you will be whipped as soon as you go to college.

I'm looking forward to that too.

Aren't you thinking of remarrying? Are you dating anyone?

I'm busy enough with work. I don't have time for it.

How about you work instead of me?

Why do you keep wanting to slack off?

You seemed pretty happy last time when you got fired.

You'll know when you grow up.

Making a living isn't as easy as it seems.

Sometimes, it stings and hurts more than dating...

and drains all your energy.

Are you talking about me right now?

Mr. Kim.

Fishing is all about catching time.

Do you know Jiang Ziya of the Zhou Dynasty?

Be quiet, you idiot.

I didn't know you'd come all the way here to bring me some coffee.

I tend to get excessively kind and obsessive

when I put my mind to it.

Do you come fishing often?

It's sort of a ritual to check the affection between father and son.

We came to get some fresh air since the finals are over too.

How did you do on your finals?

Did you mess up again?

You'll be surprised when you hear it.

Ask Chan-young.

He came in 50th place.

-Really? -Fiftieth place?

He did very well.

He did well?

I didn't even know 50th place was a rank in Jeguk High School.

What about Chan-young?

Chan-young comes in first place all the time.

His grades never change at all.

It's rather dull, and I don't feel anything now.

I don't even check his grades anymore.

You ruined everything.

Follow me.

I wish every day was like today.

Tan doesn't know yet?

There's no need to know beforehand.

The article will be published tomorrow.

Yes, I know.

This place feels nice.

I should come here next time.

JEGUK GROUP'S KIM WON AND BS TELECOM'S YANG DA-GYEONG'S MARRIAGE

It's time to keep your promise.

What promise?

You said you'd hold the other end when I have a wish.

I have a wish now.

Are you going to keep me waiting?

Do you want me to do it on my own?

This is you, and this is me.

Don't do it.

My side is longer.

It means my wish will come true.

Let's break up.

That's my wish.

Although we always sat close to each other,

there was an unreachable distance between us.

It's not like I didn't know, so you don't have to feel sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

I told you that I'd wave at you.

Goodbye, Won.

What's that article about? Are you getting married?

How could you suddenly get married like this?

We can't protect this company on our own.

This is why this marriage is necessary. And it's also...

the weight of the crown I will bear.

-But-- -I don't need your opinion.

I made this decision.

No more questions.

I thought about our deal too.

The deal to send you to the US.

Don't go to the US. Instead...

you have to be on my side and watch my back.

You won't be able to dream of anything else now.

Learn how to manage a company from now on.

That's all you need to do.

I feel lonely.

If I stay by you,

you wouldn't feel lonely?

I still would.

But it'd be better than being alone.

You came for an inspection, not tuning?

It's only been three months since the last inspection.

I want to choose safety over thrill from now on.

Are the helmets over there?

I brought your chicken. It's 16,100 won.

Here you go.

The first time we met...

It was earlier than I remember.

Here.

You should've told me earlier. Bye.

Myeong-su can't make it.

He's just not coming. I bet he's with a girl.

He is the type who would choose girls over friends.

Are you trying to tell me that you would choose me over your friend, Eun-sang?

I guess so. I'll decide the key word.

-Eighteen. -This is difficult already.

Choose something easier.

I'll go first.

Eighteen is...

the age that we keep hurting ourselves.

We also feel lonely.

And sometimes, we have to fight against a huge enemy.

But we have a passionate heart.

And we have great ambitions.

What is this? I don't have any cards for the topic.

Are you two tricking me?

Bo-na, you're out. You have to grant me a wish.

-Give me a kiss. -Hey.

Gosh, how could you ask for that in front of an audience?

Which cheek? This side?

Hey, why did you suddenly turn your head?

Sorry. I'll kiss you back then.

You two are so annoying.

My wish is for you to break up.

This came from the US.

Thank you.

The owner of the study has changed.

Won rose to the position he aimed for,

became a true leader,

and cried at night.

Won's place of exile...

was this house

in which he's spent his entire life.

And I was faced with a reality that I thought I would never face.

I became a senior.

Didn't your mother teach you this is a violation of personal rights?

I wanted to celebrate this moment.

What moment?

What should I say...

The face of a man who has overcome a great obstacle?

See you later.

You know we have practice exam tomorrow, right? I'm looking forward to it.

Worry about your own rank.

I might surprise you this time.

He'll come in 100th place again.

You little...

However,

nothing has changed.

We still don't know

how to part naturally...

or make up without feeling awkward.

But we know one thing.

We know how much we were hurt, how hard we cried how devastated we felt

during that sensitive period we went through at the age of 18.

We know how intensely we fought.

You're a bit of a showoff.

What if Bo-na sees you?

I'm sending her a message.

"Check this out. My boyfriend bought me this."

Look at you.

I'm glad I spent money on that.

What did you wish for when you blew out your birthday candles?

I always wanted to ask.

I wished for everyone I knew...

to become happy.

-Come on. -It's true.

Ten years later,

I'll hold a party at my house.

A party?

Ten years later,

-we will be 29. -Yes.

Is everyone there?

Yes. Bo-na and Chan-young are busy at the party too.

Yes, Detective. I'm Yoon Chan-young from the Cyber Investigation Team.

I'm in charge of the case regarding the DDoS attack.

I heard your debut movie has been nominated for the Asian Movie Awards.

I opened up a new era for military romance movies.

Call me when you shoot your next movie.

Bo-na.

You still haven't fixed that strange talent of yours?

No. You didn't know?

Doesn't the RS building have internet access?

I'm busy preparing for a new season. There's no time to watch a movie.

If I invite you to my premiere, will you come?

No. I don't enjoy watching movies.

Then come see me.

I'll think about it.

What does my schedule have anything to do with your military leave?

Don't call me again. Bye.

Was that Myeong-su? Is he a corporal now?

He's a sergeant.

He joined the army too late, and is having a tough time.

By the way, I will be in charge of JG Convention Jeju starting next month.

Are you happy?

Mr. Choi must be worried.

How could you be so blunt? It makes me want to try harder.

Tan is here.

You're here. Father is in the study.

Gosh, Hui-nam.

You were younger than me?

Show me your ID. Come on!

Oh, my gosh.

Hello, Tan!

And ten years from now,

just like how I ran toward you when we were 18,

I'll be standing on that road...

and I hope you'll be standing at the end of it.

This is what I wished for as I blew out those candles.

We can be happy only in your imagination.

That's why it's a wish.

I hope it comes true.

Maybe it will.

One day.

At the age of 18,

we fell in love at first sight, liked each other, cried,

ran away, got on our knees...

Bye.

...and turned our backs to each other numerous times.

You can't protect me.

Just protect yourself.

Look up at the second floor.

I thought this was a happy dream...

but it turned out to be a nightmare.

Nevertheless, at the age of 18,

we ran toward each other, held hands,

and hugged each other tight.

When are you going to buy me dinner?

Did you actually believe what I said?

There's nothing I can't say when I'm trying to win someone's heart.

My goodness.

Are you not buying me dinner on purpose?

Since you want to cook for me every day?

Was that your way of proposing to me?

Probably not. You're way over your head right now.

Cha Eun-sang, stop right there.

What did I say I'd do if you turned your back on me?

Why aren't you talking back?

Do you want to go to my house?

Are you only happy to see me in your dreams?

We might fall down again

and find ourselves kneeling down again.

But we will...

Regardless of that...

we will go forward.
