Rooftop Prince

Episode 7

What are you doing here?

Have you come to pick us up after work?

What's wrong?

What is it?

Why are you acting like this to me?

Why are you looking at me with such eyes?

Tell me, speak!

Episode 7

I can eat by myself.

It's okay.

It's a relief seeing you up.

I came because I was worried.

Bak Ha, you haven't eaten yet, right?

Hurry and go eat.

You should eat some more.

No, I'm done eating.

Why don't you take this on your way out?

All right.

She's not the one you're looking for.

I don't know how you found out I was staying here,

but go back.

Or else both you and I are going to die here.

Man Ok unni, I was wrong to come here saying I want to find my daughter.

As I promised you 29 years ago,

until I die, I won't look for my daughter.

You're not going to look for Se Na?

I had surgery four years ago for cancer and thought it was in remission,

but it seems that it has come back.

It looks like it'll be difficult this time around.

I wanted to see how Se Na was as an adult.

But I'm just being selfish.

It's not something I should do to you or Se Na.

Before I leave for Hong Kong, I wanted to tell you this.

Seon Ju...

Why aren't you going?

Will you really be okay by yourself?

The nurses here are so kind.

And I can go to the bathroom by myself and everything, so go home.

All right, then I'll be going now.

Then, good bye.

Yes, be careful.

All right.

After separating from my first husband,

I remarried with Se Na, and she's that man's daughter.

Even though we remarried, we didn't even register it.

She's so hardworking.

But how did you come to live in Hong Kong?

I've had a roller coaster of a life.

I had Se Na as a single mom and turned her over to you.

And after a few years, I met a man and we set up house together.

But that didn't last long either.

I was so vain, my heart just wasn't in it.

Somehow I came to live in Hong Kong and there I met my current husband.

I had a bit of good fortune so I made quite a lot of money.

Perhaps it was because of the money, but I've continued to live in Hong Kong.

What about kids?

I don't have any kids in Hong Kong.

But while I was here for a short while,

I had a daughter.

Do you keep in touch with her?

I did a horrible thing to her as well.

Man Ok unni, I'll get something for us to drink.

Mom, what are you doing out here?

Hey, you didn't even call, what are you doing here?

Why are you so surprised? You're in the hospital, of course I should visit.

Did someone come to see you?

No.

I was feeling stifled so I came out for some air.

Why do you always seem to have the worst luck?

Last time you broke your leg going hiking and this time you got hit by a car.

Are you sure you don't need a shaman exorcism?

Be quiet.

I should go back.

But it's not as if you don't have any luck at all.

You were only slightly injured.

[Unidentified]

Hello.

Do you like banana or strawberry?

Well that's random...Why did you call?

I'll give you one, so pick.

Whatever. I'm going to be late today, so clean up the RV.

And don't wait up for me.

How impudent.

This is a picture taken on your first birthday.

And the woman without the face is your mother.

You turned around, like today.

Unni!

Mother was hit by a car but you acted like nothing was wrong, and turned around,

like you did today!

After drinking both the banana and strawberry, I now feel full.

What are you doing there?

Well, what are you doing there?

I thought you said you were going to be late?

Then you were at the bus stop as well?

How ridiculous...

I must know why you are angry at me.

I'm not angry!

If this isn't anger, then what is it?

Whatever, stop talking to me!

She's being quite impudent.

What... is... this?

Bak Ha! Bak Ha!

This keeps hitting my stomach, I feel weird!

Bak Ha, what is this?

It's on my feet and it's making them ticklish.

It's a tickling machine.

Bak Ha, I'm standing still, but this keeps making my neck move!

It hurts my pride!

I mean, Director Pyo told us to try out these items and come up with a marketing plan,

but what are these supposed to be used for?

I'm tired, I'm going to sleep!

Bak Ha, don't be like that, tell us what they are.

We need to give our report to Director Pyo tomorrow.

Please tell us.

She said she was tired, let's try to figure it out ourselves.

I mean, what's so difficult about telling us?

Bak Ha, don't just stand there, try this on.

I'm tired, go away!

Have you all been kicked out by one woman?

How can someone be so bull-headed?

She doesn't have any of the qualities befitting of a woman.

Would it kill her to tell us what they were?

If we were in Chosun, I wouldn't have even had to ask her.

If we were in Chosun, the highest station that woman could attain is being a shaman.

We wouldn't have even shared words with her.

Nor would she be able to look His Highness in his face.

She would've prostrated on the floor with her forehead to the ground, smelling the dirt.

Yong Sul, why are you so quiet?

Your Highness, what are you speaking of?

Yong Sul, you're quite suspicious.

You're always protecting and defending Bak Ha!

Even now you haven't said one word!

By any chance, do you like Bak Ha?!

Song Man Bo, your words are too much!

What are you talking about?

Yong Sul, you probably have complaints as well.

It's befitting of a man to speak of them in situations such as this.

Forgive me.

All right.

Why don't you get them off your chest to Chi San and Man Bo?

I haven't said anything until now,

but I would've punished Bak Ha numerous times already!

How dare a woman look me straight in the eyes,

and shoot her mouth off about what's what!

What I really want to do is throw and flip her five times into the air,

then slam her into the ground and roll her over another three times!

I felt bad so I came out to explain what these are to you, but what is this I hear?

Bak Ha....

Throw me, slam me down and roll me over?

Why bother? You might as well kill me!

I didn't see you like that, what are you doing in front of your dongsengs?

I thought you were just quiet,

but you're a loudmouth, careless and a lowlife!

Hello? Hello? Yes, hello?

I feel so itchy.

Where are you going that you're packing your bag?

Where are you going this late at night?

You're all cursing me, so why should I stay here?

I can just leave.

Yong Sul only said that as a joke.

That's enough.

Who is this child?

Who is the man in this picture?

And who is this child?

The man is my father, and the child is me.

Satisfied? Give it to me.

Then that means... Do you remember?

Have the memories before you were nine come back to you?

He hated her so much for throwing me away,

so that's why he ripped this part off.

What a cold mother.

But since your memories have come back to you,

that's a good thing.

It may have been better if I didn't remember,

if I didn't know.

If you don't have the memories,

you can't be with them even in your thoughts.

As long as you have those memories,

you can be together forever.

In one moment I jumped over 300 years and left Chosun behind.

The Crown Princess has been reborn 300 years later in this place.

And although I still have my memories of Chosun,

the Crown Princess doesn't.

I must solve this problem.

That is how I can find out the reason I have come to this period,

and the one who murdered the Crown Princess.

I'm very sorry.

It is a huge relief that you weren't hurt even worse.

Well, neither of us seem to have the greatest luck.

The reason I didn't ask for compensation is

because you seem to know my daughter.

I will take care of all expenses for rehabilitation so that there are no after effects.

If there is anything else you need, do not hesitate to let me know.

Then, can I ask you a favor?

Of course, anything.

Could you find a job for my daughter?

Mother!

My daughter was running her own successful business,

but because of an unfortunate event she doesn't have a job anymore.

But she can carry out whatever task you put her in charge of.

Mother, please don't.

Yes, all right. I'll see if we have any open positions.

There's no need to!

You're so generous! Thank you!

Bak Ha, can you stop by the office later?

[Round 8. Shin Bong Sun vs Shin Min Ah]

Ideal types...

You don't even need to think this over.

That's right, naturally...it's Shin Bong Sun.

Shin Bong Sun?

It's Shin Min Ah, not Shin Bong Sun!

Chi San sunbae, all a woman needs to be is fertile.

And a modest look like this one.

You don't know anything.

Isn't that right?

It's Shin Bong Sun, right?

Put it away.

- Oh, come on... - Yong Sul, look again.

Why did you flip it over like that?

Your Highness, what is that?

It's called peppermint candy. (*peppermint = bak ha)

I discovered it in the restaurant and bought it.

Peppermint candy?

Peppermint as in Bak Ha?

That's right.

Let's all chew it up and eat it!

It feels quite refreshing.

This strong taste quite resembles Bak Ha's personality!

Why are you sucking on it?

Chomp on it loudly!

Yes, Your Highness.

Peppermint candy.

How admirable.

Here.

Chew it all.

Bak Ha...

Your Highness, he isn't chewing on it.

We thought you were going back to Hong Kong,

because you were disappointed with us. We were very surprised.

That's not the reason.

I was afraid I was being a hindrance to you and your father,

so I wanted to go back quietly.

We will attend to you more faithfully.

Can I make a personal request?

Just say the words.

It's a picture from 25 years ago.

I'd like to find my daughter.

The name of her father is Park In Chul.

He passed away two years ago.

My daughter's name is Park In Joo.

According to records, she disappeared when she was nine.

And no one knows where she is even now.

I've been standing here for a while but you didn't notice.

Really?

Here. The files you asked for.

Thank you.

Who is that a picture of? It looks old.

Yeah, it was taken 25 years ago.

This is President Jang.

Really? She's a beauty.

She's talented, wealthy, and a beauty to boot.

From what I know, she's married to someone from Hong Kong.

But she had been married once in Korea, too.

This is a picture taken on her daughter's first birthday.

Bak Ha, say hi.

So you're Se Na?

Yes.

Se Na, what are you staring at?

But, why do you have this picture?

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Where is Director Yong Tae Moo's office?

Director Yong Tae Moo?

If you go all the way down this hall, you'll find it.

Thank you.

I have to find her for President Jang.

Hello.

Welcome. Did your mother get home safely?

Yes.

Why aren't you two saying hi?

Did you two fight?

What are you doing here?

He asked to see me.

Bak Ha, shall we go to the station where you'll be working?

Yes.

Tomorrow, you'll work here.

Yes.

Thank you so much. I'll work hard and make up for this.

Yes, let's get on together well.

- Good bye. - Yes, good bye.

What do you think you're doing?

What are you?

You asked him for a position and got a job where I work?

What are you trying to do? Why are you doing this?

He came to the hospital and mother suddenly asked him for this favor.

So if you want to complain to anyone, do it to your mother and Director Yong.

It felt like this job was a substitute for the compensation owed to our mother,

so I didn't want to work here.

But since the place he wants me to work is where you are,

I didn't want to avoid it.

You're insane.

I'll make this clear. I won't go around talking about your true nature,

so don't get in my way.

It would be better for you to leave the company soon.

Before you're chased out, tattered and ruined.

I'm not angry at you, 'cause I pity you.

I see you around here pretty often.

We'll see each other even more now.

Don't you think you're following me around too much?

Tae Moo, who is this President Jang?

Who is she that she has such a hold on you and your father?

She holds the most shares after the President.

You understand why we're attending to her so much, right?

If it's the request of someone that important, I'll try to help as well.

I'm going to scan this and make another copy.

It's not that simple.

I have to help you.

Where are we going so suddenly?

I saw the picture last night, and it looked like it was in Choon Chun.

If you go there, you'll find more of your memories.

What are you doing? Let's go.

[Yong Tae Yong]

Yes, Assistant Hong?

I was supposed to take you to the call center today,

where are you right now?

We'll have to cancel today's lesson.

I'm going to Choon Chun right now.

Why are you going to Choon Chun?

Just to get some fresh air.

Why don't we change the lesson to tomorrow?

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

Choon Chun?

Isn't this the place?

I think it is.

Is there something you need?

Hello.

I was wondering if this picture was taken here.

It was, that's our old number.

Right.

It must have been taken by my deceased father.

How old is this picture?

Twenty five years.

If it's that old, we won't have the film.

You're asking because the picture is ripped, right?

Not necessarily, I just wanted to stop by.

Do you know if there is an elementary school nearby?

When you crossed a bridge, there was a big tree

and beyond that, the front doors to the school.

Are you talking about Gyo Dong Elementary School?

I'm not sure if this is the right street.

But after school, while going back home with my friends,

we'd ring a doorbell, and when someone came out we'd run away.

It was so fun.

What's so fun about running away?

You're so lowly.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

The only people who run away are thieves or criminals.

To think someone would say running away like a lowlife is fun...

How ridiculous!

Who is it?

Run away!

What are you doing? We have to run away!

I'm going to tell her that an immature woman just rang her bell.

You're insane, run!

Who is it?

Hey!

Hey!

Stop right there!

I won't let you off!

Hurry! Hurry!

We were almost caught, it could've been bad!

Who is it?

Stop!

What happened?

No girl by the name of Bak Ha attended this school twenty years ago.

I don't think this is the right school.

Maybe that's not your real name.

I'm not dumb enough to not know my own name.

I'm only saying this 'cause you always do such silly things.

Fine.

Which "ha" character is used in your name?

Which "ha" character?

I think it has something to do with baggage.

It's the same "ha" used in su-ha-mul. (*suhamul = compact carrying luggage)

Do you have a piece of paper? I'll write it out and show you.

Give me your phone.

You can write it here.

Is this how you write it?

Yeah, that's right, that's how you write it.

It means lotus flower.

Lotus flower?

So the meaning behind your name is lotus.

Another name for lotus is Bu Yong.

Bu Yong.

Bu Yong.

You are not even married.

How can you utter such suggestive poetry?

Bu Yong.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

As I am low and unworthy, I know not proper virtue.

Ah, sister-in-law.

I've created another riddle.

This time, there's no way you will be able to solve it easily.

Even if it lives, it dies.

Even if it dies, it lives. What could it be?

Even if it lives, it dies.

Even if it dies, it lives.

Can you solve the riddle?

That's easy.

Even if it lives, it dies. Even if it dies, it lives.

Do you know the answer?

Tell me the answer!

The answer...life!

Living isn't living.

You lowly fool!

What is it that's in your head?

You're so thoughtless!

What are you doing? Don't hit my head! I'll get dumber.

Oh...

The answer is...

Unconsciousness.

You're neither alive or dead.

Unconsciousness? What kind of answer is that?

I'll give you something to eat when the wheels in your head aren't turning.

Something to eat?

What is it?

A flick.

Really!

Come here!

Hey, where are you going!

Stop right there!

Hey! Stop right there!

Hey!

I told you to stop!

Don't cry.

From now on you'll only make good memories.

Was this picture taken here?

Yes, that's right.

It's quite strange.

Someone came by not too long ago asking about this same picture.

Someone brought this picture here?

Yes, a young woman and man.

Where did that woman go?

Do you have her number?

She asked about the elementary school.

Gyo Dong Elementary School, over there.

President Jang, we should go there.

Director.

Hong Se Na, what are you doing here?

I came because you asked me to find someone.

Aren't you here because of that as well?

Oh, right, say hello. This is President Jang.

Hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm Hong Se Na.

It's nice to meet you.

By any chance, have you seen a young man and woman come here?

I just stopped by the studio where this picture was taken,

and a young man and woman stopped by, asking about the same picture.

I also stopped by the studio.

Maybe he was talking about me?

And I think the young man may be someone I asked for directions.

Thank you.

For attending to my request and coming all the way out here.

It's nothing. I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Why don't we find out if the school has any records of use?

I just went to the school office,

they don't have any records that correlate.

Why don't we end it here today?

Yes, President Jang.

Hong Se Na, you drove here, right?

Yes, President Jang.

Then can I ask for a ride?

Yes, of course, President Jang.

Hong Se Na, I'll leave the President to you.

All right.

President Jang, you must be tired.

Please rest comfortably.

I will. Both of you, thank you for today.

I'm sorry we weren't able to make any progress.

I wasn't expecting anything anyway.

It was nice to get to know Hong Se Na, though.

Me too, President Jang.

Here, I'd like to give this to you.

President Jang.

Even if you don't wear it, just keep it.

It's a sign of my affection.

I'll treasure this, thank you, President.

I'm hungry.

Are you going back to the office?

Se Na.

Why are you doing this? It seems that the President really liked you.

You think so?

If the President asks you to take the place of her missing daughter,

what are you going to say?

I'll become her daughter then.

I told you, I'd do anything that would benefit you.

Thanks, Se Na.

Assistant Hong.

Father...

This isn't right, this can't happen!

Director.

What do you think you're doing right now!

The President treated you like family because she trusted you.

How can you do this with my son?

You should've known better!

This isn't right!

Just imagine if rumors got out that Tae Moo is dating an assistant.

What would become of him?

And you, Tae Moo.

Is this why you didn't go on the arranged dates I set for you?

Father, I was going to tell you-

Shut up!

I've bought some porcelain to give as gifts to the chairman,

so make sure they get to him and we'll talk at home.

Assistant Hong, listen carefully.

End this relationship with Tae Moo immediately.

Who is it?

Secretary Hong says she wants to meet me. I have to go see her.

Why does she want to see you?

You go home first.

[Tae Moo]

Hello?

I don't want to see you today.

I want to be alone.

No, I'm not there.

I'm going to hang up now.

Looks like you had no problem finding the place. Would you like some beer?

Sure.

I wanted to meet you in order to return this.

When I look back to all you've done for me since we first met,

it seems that you're interested in me.

Is that true?

I have no interest in you.

You'll come to like me.

Even if I don't like you, are you going to continue liking me?

That's right.

You barely know me.

You don't know the kind of person I am to like me.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Reincarnation?

So you're saying we met in a past life? Is that it?

You'll soon realize that it is true.

You're either one or the other,

a player or an oddball.

Do you have a sister?

No.

Why do you ask?

I thought you'd have one.

If you don't have the memories,

you can't be with them even in your heart.

As long as you have those memories,

you can be together forever.

Where did you go?

Here and there, I had a few drinks.

Let's talk.

I'm tired, next time.

Sorry.

I'm sorry you had to hear such words from my father.

I'll persuade Father, just give me a little time.

Do you have to persuade and grovel in order to get permission to date me?

- Se Na- - Don't you have any say?

- You have to ask your father? - That's not what this is.

If it's not, then tell your father that we're going to marry immediately.

I can't do that, you know I can't!

Then we should separate.

We're late!

This is my first day of work, I can't be late!

I'm going first!

She is without loyalty!

Bak Ha! Let's go together!

We're all going to the same place anyway.

We should hurry as... well.

What is it?

Since your legs are short, you walk slowly.

- I'll be off first. - What?

What did you just say?

Hey!

Let's go together!

Director Yong,

I heard you've been meeting President Jang recently from Hong Kong?

Shall I tell you how I've been learning baduk lately as well?

Aren't you being too obvious?

President Jang holds the second largest shares in our company.

Aren't you trying to get into her good graces to take this company over?

If you wrote a novel, you'd be quite successful.

Just because the missing Tae Yong has appeared again,

doesn't mean the missing persons case can be closed.

Tae Moo.

Please watch what you say, I'm the Director.

You said you weren't able to meet Tae Yong in America,

but I'm positive you went to America and met Tae Yong.

You'd sell quite a few books in the science fiction genre.

Two years ago, when you met Tae Yong,

you used a corporate credit card.

Restaurant, bar...

You ate just enough for two people.

I'm going to make Tae Yong remember.

Life is no joke,

stop joking around,

Tae Moo.

Tae Moo.

Yong Tae Moo.

Don't you have work to do?

Today is the day we move into our rooftop apartment.

We're going to have a housewarming, just so you know.

Housewarming?

Today?

Without even telling me?

Who's going to cook?

You can't leave out food from a housewarming.

So what do you all want to eat?

Lately, I've been craving some gae-dduk*. (*type of rice cake)

Yong Sul, why don't you tell Bak Ha what you'd like to eat?

She'll make you whatever it is you want.

What's wrong with all of you?

Oh, what about crabs marinated in soy sauce?

If you mix up the rice in the crab shell...

Don't you think it'll be delicious?

No, he can't eat crabs!

Five years ago, I ate crabs and almost died.

Before I even swallowed it, I couldn't breathe,

and lost consciousness on the spot.

Five years ago?

Really?

I wanted to eat it...

Then, what else should I make?

Tae Moo hyung, I thought you were going to teach me.

Why are you hitting so hard?

Even though a person may forget the memories in their head,

they won't forget the memories in their body.

I've never beaten you in squash before.

I have never believed, even for a moment,

that you were Tae Yong.

You've mistaken me for someone else.

How can someone I've seen for the first time be my grandmother?!

I am not the person you are looking for,

so do not put yourself through this unnecessary hardship.

Carrots.

Spinach.

Cabbage. Mushroom.

Tae Yong, you've always liked this.

Eat.

Right signal, that, that, don't you know?

Have you known how to drive since birth?!

You can't drive if you get angry.

Then what kind of man do you like? Do you like long or short hair?

I prefer short hair to long hair.

Why is it that you're putting your life on the line, pretending to be Yong Tae Yong?

It's the reason I've come here from Chosun.
