Episode 1

Okay. ♫ I know my heart can make you happy ♫

No Smoking. When fueling, please turn off your engine

Hey! Are you okay?... Are you okay?

Are you OK?... Are you OK?

Oh my! My car! Ahh! Ouch! It hurts!

Jeez! Dad's going to kill me!

Look! Don't you think you should ask if I'm OK first?

You almost killed me!

You didn't die! Why are you yelling at me?!

You look fine!

What are you looking at? You must be a part-time employee here at this gas station

Don't worry. My parents know your boss very well; I'll tell him it wasn't your fault.

What a wench!

Wench? Did you just call me a wench right now?

You're just a pump boy...

You mean you got hurt, don't you? Don't worry. I'll pay for that.

Well, if this much... it'd be more than you make in an entire day—

Why did you hit me? Why? How dare you!

You deserved it!

Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are that you hit me?

I'll have you fired right now!

Who do you think you are that you hit me?

How dare you?

Lee Ji Eun!

What a relief it's my mother's store! Otherwise you could've been arrested on criminal charges.

According to Criminal Code Article 320, if you damage another person's property—

As if anyone would question that you're studying for the bar, and that you're the son of a judge.

You always shove the law at me.

Anyway, are you hurt anywhere?

I don't think I got hurt...

But my head, shoulder, arms, knees, legs, my whole body aches now.

Oppa, why is he so arrogant even though he's only a part-timer? Just fire him!

Jeez, how come you act the same as when you were seven?

Besides, you shouldn't look down on a person just because he's working part time at a gas station.

Also, he isn't someone who would stand for being looked down on by you.

Were you rude to him again?

But Oppa, he—

My mother is on her way here...

Is she? I'm leaving!

Why don't you wait around for her and greet her?

She'll be so happy to see what you did...

Do you have fun teasing me?

Please go home nicely.

I'll be sure to make sure things go well with my mother.

By the way, are you going to drive that car as it is?

Well, should I put it in my bag and take it?

My house is just around the corner. It's okay.

I'll drop by your house sometime later. Please say hello to your parents for me.

Se Hoon!

Hey! That was close. Don't you need to see a doctor?

I'm okay. It's just a scratch.

I'm sorry this happened when I called you to work on your day off.

Besides, today's your birthday... I'm sorry, man.

Why do you feel sorry for this, Hyung?

I'm leaving! Make up a good explanation for your mom.

Hey!

Hey! Lee Ji Eun!

I'm really sorry, sister-in-law...

It's so very fortunate that student didn't get hurt.

It's been so long since I met sunbae-nim. I'll call him later.

Ah, yes.

How the heck are you driving?

Honey it was an accident. Forgive her. It must've scared her!

Unni, you must be getting muscle knots in your legs.

You wanna die? Cut it out!

Young Eun! Go to your room and study! Will you ever listen to me?

I'm going right now!

People already talk badly enough about the students who study abroad, who come in and make trouble during the break—

Don't worry about what other people say!

How can you live worrying about something like that?

Honey, Ji Eun's legs must be numb! Ji Eun, stand up.

The children are ill-mannered because you always dote on them.

Go to Ho Jin's mother and apologize.

Yes.

Still, since Ji Eun's here like this, my bipolar disorder symptoms have gotten much better.

I feel great these days!

I slept well without taking a sleeping pill even yesterday.

Maid!

She never answers right away.

Maid! Can't you give me a glass of juice?

My neck

What? You slapped her?

On that worldly Lee Ji Eun's cheek?

I should have held back!

But I understand.

You heard my mother talking about her earlier.

Ji Eun is impossible!

I don't know how rich her family is, but she must believe other people are beneath her feet.

She's pretty wild, but she's kindhearted.

You have heard of Shin Young Textile, haven't you? She is a princess of that family.

So she's one of the spoiled orange people.

She whines and complains a lot if she doesn't get her own way.

But she has some cute sides.

Jeez! It's so itchy...

For someone who went to the temple to study, why did you go up on the roof?

A young monk asked me to get his kite that was stuck up there.

You know I'm quite the humanitarian!

Right, Hyung you're qualified to be a decent judge!

Ah, I got the original of the book, "Digital Signal Processing," that you asked for.

Hyung, thanks so much.

Don't mention it.

Where's my bag?

He's funny. Does he have proof that I took his bag?

You really didn't take it?

I told you I didn't! Oppa, I'm tired. I have to sleep so, I'm hanging up! Goodbye.

What again? I don't have it!

I said I'm outside!

Honey, you caused another accident didn't you?

Bok Ja?

I just finished filming.

I got it. Let's meet and talk. I'll be there dashing like the wind, with my eyelashes fluttering!

Hey, could you feed me?

OK. Come on over quickly.

Hey, Turtle, This unnie's not going to give it back to him so easily! Here, give me five!

It won't be easy to get it back from her.

Jeez...

Your report is due this week? What are you going to do if you lose your scholarship?

She must be mad because I slapped her.

Hitting her was wrong. So I'll apologize.

Don't worry she'll give it back to you when her anger cools off.

What is she going to do with your bag anyway?

Come with me. I can meet your parents...

Some other time....

You're terrible! You shouldn't have taken his bag.

Thinking about what he did to me I want to rip it to pieces!

Seoul National University - Jang Se Hoon.

He thinks he's really something.

Hey! Is it the Jang Se Hoon who slapped your face?

He is not that kind of person...

You must've done something wrong.

Whose side are you on? Do you know him?

I interviewed him once last year when I was a reporter for the school newspaper.

Interview? For what?

He was admitted to the college as a first place and has not missed the merit scholarships even once until now.

I can tell you he's a living legend in our school. He is very popular, especially with the girls.

He's good-looking. In other words, he's a kingka.

Hey, what kind of kingka is working at a gas station?

Hello! A real kingka isn't the kind of idiot who wastes more money than sense,

but a man who has a vision for the future.

You were too much. He must've worked hard to write this report... You'd better—

No way! He should pay for what he did to me!

You'll see. I'll make him cry and beg.

Ah... another poor guy is in trouble!

Uh? It just looks like mine! Jeez... I feel bad.

What is this? Why does he keep this dented thing?

Who called Ji Eun?

I did!

She comes back home every vacation.

You know she didn't go to that school in Boston to study, so she doesn't have anything to do over there!

Don't you know she has a disease?

Sure! Incurable delusions of grandeur.

Hey! Chew some gum instead of speaking ill of me.

Why did you call me up?

What's up?

Idiot Yoon Min Ho and plastic-surgery junky Choi Hee Young...

Aigoo, what an ideal couple! Right, live well.

Did you see Ji Eun's face? In the end, she lost Min Ho to you.

Hey, when was Min Ho Ji Eun's boyfriend?

Min Ho was just too nice to say "no" to her.

I think Ji Eun lied about her having a new boyfriend no matter what, right?

Of course she did! She didn't say she would bring him to my engagement party. She's pretty, but who would put up with her?

No one stays with her over a month.

Hey!

You must have an inferiority complex because Min Ho has followed me since he was a little boy.

If so, I can understand that. But by the way, Hee Young?

Whenever you feel inferior to me, I feel superior to you. Do you know that?

Anyway, I don't think I can make it to your engagement party.

Why not? Because you lied?

What lie?

You lied about having a boyfriend because you were jealous of Min Ho and me.

Should I introduce you to a guy?

I have a boyfriend!

Really? OK. You can bring him to the party! Let me see him once.

No problem!

If you can't... hmm... be bridesmaid on my wedding day.

Do you want me to follow and hang around with you? Seriously.

Why? You said you HAD a boyfriend.

OK, if I bring my boyfriend, then give me that necklace!

OK!

See you on Sunday!

I didn't get a nose job!

That's not it. I think you should have it done, no matter what. See you.

I'm thinking about letting you join this project.

I'll decide after I check your final report.

This is the chance of a lifetime for you.

I know.

Where can I find a guy? Ho Jin isn't good enough.

Besides, they all know him.

I need a new face!

Just tell her you're sorry! She'll give you your bag if you're nice to her.

Ji Eun's not home.

Swimming pool?

Sorry about yesterday. I apologize.

Do you mind stepping aside, since you're blocking the light?

Give me my bag back now.

Have you ever entrusted your bag to me?

I don't have time to play around here.

I don't much feel like talking to you either.

If you're going to keep standing here with a blank look like a utility pole, I'll move.

Oh, my. What are you looking at?

You've never seen a woman in a swimming suit at the swimming pool?

Ah! What are you doing?

I admit I did wrong for slapping you. I apologize again.

I really mean it. I was thoughtless.

But you were too rude.

I'll have to give up my next semester if I don't have that bag.

Call me when your anger cools off.

Hey!

I'll give it back to you.

But I have one condition!

Sorry!

OK? Did you sleep well?

Mom!

What?

How does your daughter look? What do you think?

- You look like a fairy who came down from heaven. - Really?

You're just too pretty to become only a fashion designer after graduating college.

Who gave birth to such a beautiful daughter like this?

You sure did.

You're my masterpiece!

I think so too!

Mom, I may come home late today. It's Hee Young's engagement party.

You said it's in the evening. Why are you already going?

I have a beauty shop appointment at 9, and I'll meet someone for lunch!

- With whom? - Huh?

- Ah... A friend you don't know. I'll be back. - Yeah.

Ah! Mom. Give me your car keys!

Be careful... Your car will be done the day after tomorrow.

I'll call you if I'm going to be very late. Bye!

Why does she look more excited when Hee Young is the one getting engaged?

Hello. Yes. It's been a while.

I heard you profited by investing in stocks.

How much did you profit?

Special New Product Launch Event

Thank you!

Too sassy! A simpler design is better.

Miss! Can I see that one over there?

What are you doing now?

You promised to grant my request.

Don't say anything. Just do what I tell you.

Choose the suit first and then I'll tell you.

It looks great. You look much better.

Hey!

You can't go away!

Never mind. I don't care even if I don't get it back.

Sorry if I offended you. But please help me just for a few hours. Will you?

So you made a bet?

What else could I do?

They made fun of me, saying no one would go out with me!

People don't like me...

I know you don't like me.

Sorry.

But you would've refused if I'd told you first...

Let's go. Your bag is in the car. I'll give it back to you.

Here.

You're leaving without even looking back because you have your bag now, aren't you?

Are you really leaving?

So mean! A woman is begging you this much...

Hey! What should I do if you really leave?

You're so cold-hearted!

You stubborn heartless thing!

Bastard!

You're so mean!!

♫ How hard has my life been? ♫

♫ How much have I tried to forget you? ♫

♫ In front of you, I've hidden deep inside me ♫

♫ Since that day when I walked away, ♫

♫ How has it been for me? ♫

- How about this one? ♫ How has it been for me? ♫

♫ If you are also like me, you'll understand ♫

♫ How hard has my life been? How much have I loved you? ♫

♫ I'm so tired, I do not have a single tear. ♫

♫ It's been an endless dream, I thought so ♫

♫ If you are also like me, you'll understand ♫

From now on you're my boyfriend!

Hi!

Where's Hee Young?

Oh! Oh! Over there.

Thanks.

Let's go.

I thought she lied because she's never talked about you before.

Oh! How did you meet each other?

It was an accident. A car accident!

I took her bag without saying anything at that time.

Oh! Because you wanted to see her again?

Right.

Ah... You met each other like in a movie!

Uh?... Right!

Congratulations on your engagement.

Thank you.

Hey! Why don't you give me that necklace?

Never mind. Be happy with Min Ho. I really mean it.

I'm allergic to oranges.

Title: Phoenix Subtitle: Love

Phoenix?

What does Phoenix have to do with love?

Have you ever seen Phoenix?

A phoenix is an imaginary bird that lived in the Arabian Desert.

After living for 600 years the bird piles up aromatic branches and ignites them with the rays of the sun in the middle of the desert.

It then fans the flames with its wings, jumps into the fire, and dies.

So sad...

But it rises from the ashes as a young phoenix, so you don't need to be sad!

That's why it looks so vehement and passionate!

Vehement and passionate love like a phoenix!

Maybe what the artist was trying to say about love was that it's about

self-sacrifice, rather than passion.

Like a phoenix burns itself and gives life to a young one from the ashes,

love also requires sacrifice.

Does it mean something like that?

No!

I'll just believe that it describes vehement and passionate love!

OK. Everyone has different ideas and interpretations.

So your interpretation isn't necessarily wrong.

I thought you'd be just good at fixing TVs because you're an engineering major.

You're pretty smart!

Let's go together!

Get in. I'll give you a ride! Come on.

Come on.

I take off my shoes when driving. You know why?

It's a secret... but I have flat feet!

I knew it. I grabbed a certain woman's ankle at the swimming pool and she has flat feet.

If you spread a rumor about it, I'll report you to the police.

♫ And I love you so ♫

♫ The people ask me how ♫

♫ How I've lived till now ♫

♫ I tell them I don't know ♫

♫ I guess they understand ♫

♫ How lonely life has been ♫

♫ But life began again ♫

♫ The day you took my hand ♫

♫ And yes I know how lonely life can be ♫

Where are we?

It's written over there. D.O.C.K!

You want me even to open the door for you?

I have something to tell the man named Jang Se Hoon

♫ Now that you're around me ♫

Have you been on a river cruise?

Me neither!

Thanks for today!

When can I see you again?

I'm planning to keep seeing you...

Lee Ji Eun, I don't have a plan to do so.

Why don't you start planning it from now on?

Who on earth do you take after?

Me?

My mom told me I take after Audrey Hepburn.

Sorry for being rude the other day at the gas station.

Just forget it. I've forgotten everything.

Is that what you wanted to tell me?

Jang Se Hoon! Do you want to be my boyfriend?

Be my boyfriend!

Do you think we're a good match?

We're no good for each other. We don't have anything in common.

Why do we need anything in common when a man and a woman like each other?

Just liking each other is good enough!

See there's one thing in common!

If a poor guy who rides the subway and a rich girl who drives a fancy car meet, what do you think their end will be?

Let's try in order to see what it will be.

I won't go on that road if I can see its end.

No one knows the end.

Why are you thinking about the ending even before you start?

What's important right now is...

We're attracted to each other!

I'm not!

Don't lie to me. Acting like this is because of your defensive instinct, isn't it?

Of course, it's sometimes better to hide your feelings.

But if you hide your feelings, you'll end up losing more.

That's what I learned from my long lonely days.

I was a complete outcast in high school!

Just be true to your feelings like me.

Don't judge my feelings by your standards!

OK, all right! I can prove that you like me as well!

What are you doing?

I'm going to jump off! I'm going to take my hands off!

Hey! Jang Se Hoon! I can't swim!

Are you going to just stand there? Come and hold my hands!

I'm scared! I know you like me.

I believe you will hold my hand.

♫ How hard has my life been? How much have I tried to forget you? ♫

♫ In front of you, I have hidden it deep inside of me. ♫

♫ Since that day when I walked away, how has it been for me? ♫

♫ If you are also like me, you will understand ♫

♫ It was hard to bear without any breathing space. ♫

♫ I hate my reality so much. ♫

♫ If another love comes to fill your place ♫

♫ The only thing I can think of is that it's not right. ♫

♫ Although I've tried to meet someone else to forget you. ♫

♫ You know, without you it cannot be. ♫

I love you! ♫ You know, without you it cannot be. ♫

♫ How hard has my life been? How much have I loved you? ♫

♫ I'm so tired, I do not have a single tear. ♫

♫ It's been an endless dream, I thought so. ♫

♫ But why did reality turn me away? ♫

♫ How hard has my life been? How much have I tried to forget you? ♫

♫ In front of you, I have hidden it deep inside of me. ♫

♫ Since that day when I walked away, how has it been for me? ♫

♫ If you are also like me, you will understand. ♫

Stay Away! ♫ If you are also like me, you will understand. ♫

Se Hoon, you should eat this only by yourself.

Oh, right!

I put in some vitamins too!

Thanks! What should I do? I have to go back...

I feel like a lost puppy following you around all the time...

Then... Do you want me to carry you in my pocket?

I got goosebumps!!

Hold on.

Hello. Hi Mi Ran!

Really? Are you coming tomorrow?

Of course, I'll come pick you up.

Does your father think you went to New York for summer school again?

Hey, I have a boyfriend!

Se Hoon! See you later.

Mi Ran!

Hi!

Love? Did you just say "love"?

You've only been dating him for a month.

Time doesn't matter.

How much we love each other is what's important.

You've never been in love so you don't know!

Whenever I'm with him, I'm so happy that I almost feel dizzy!

I can't even remember where I am now, or what I was doing before.

Mi Ran, I don't want to be apart from him even for a second.

I think you just love the fact that you're in love, rather than you love him. Is he from a "rich family"?

I'm not in love with what he has!

You'll understand why I'm crazy about him when you meet him...

I'm sure you'll like him as well!

Doctors can't help me. There's no fun in life...

Whew... I'm even getting tired of sighing...

Mom, you like this song.

Last year when you came to Boston to see my fashion show, my friends thought that you were my sister.

They just couldn't believe me, no matter how many times I told them, that you're my mom.

I know I look young for my age.

Hey, by the way, I can't believe places like that still exist in Seoul.

Mom, if... if I fall in love with a poor man who lives in a place like that, will you help me?

What? What do you mean?

I said if-"If." You never know.

Maybe I'll fall in love with someone poor...

You're making me depressed again!

Ji Eun! There are different levels of people.

Better and easier to meet someone from the same level.

Dad is from a poor family.

My father was so against our marriage!

If I hadn't gotten pregnant with you, I wouldn't have married your dad.

Oh my! Was it a shotgun wedding?

Gas is running low! Let's fill it up at Ho Jin's gas station.

Uh? Maybe later. We've got enough to get to the hospital.

We should use Ho Jin's gas station if we need to fill it up anyhow.

Is your boss here?

He hasn't come yet.

Hey where did you touch anything with that greasy thing?

I'm sorry.

Look! What are you doing with that dirty rag?

Mom, you kicked the hose.

Be quiet!

Never mind! Go away! You smell greasy!

Stay away! Can't you hear me?

Jeez! How upsetting! These are expensive shoes...

What are you doing? Get in quickly!

Mom, I have to go somewhere urgently.

I forgot that I had an appointment with Mi Ran! I have to leave. Sorry.

Are you mad? Are you?

Don't be. Se Hoon!

I'm not mad.

You are...

The reason I didn't introduce you to my mom was...

Enough. I know what you're trying to say.

Do you want me to stand over there with my arms up?

Do you want me to do a handstand?

Don't act like a child, just go!

Then just thinking I'm a child, you can just forgive me.

Talk with me.

Later. I'm working right now.

I'm not going anywhere until you feel better.

We're just not right for each other.

I forgot about that but I realized it again today.

What do you mean?

I mean I wouldn't have gone out with you if I had been smarter.

Ji Eun there's nothing I can do for you.

I don't want anything from you. Just be with me.

I see how this is going to end so I want to stop here!

If my parents find out that I'm going out with you, I'm sure they'll be against it.

Right now we keep our dating a secret, but when you graduate and settle down, surely—

Why do I have to see you by doing that?

We... love each other

Love? Love is just love.

Let's stop here.

How can you say that so easily?

The time we shared didn't mean anything to you?

How can you be so cold?

I'll never let you go like this! Never!

Never say "never."

Do you really want to break up?

Yeah.

Look at me when you say that.

I told you to look at me and say it.

It's... over.
