Ji Eun!

You're Ji Eun, right?

Huh? Mi Ran...

How long has it been?

I was in an accident.

I'm in a wheelchair now, but I'm much happier than before.

I want to introduce someone to you. I'm getting married soon.

Congratulations! Great!

Where did he go?

Meet my fiancé, Will.

Oh my! I left my shopping bag in the store. Wait a second...

I'll go get it.

That's OK. It's just next door.

You haven't changed.

Eighty pairs of shoes are not enough for you?

Your extravagant habits haven't changed!

It's been ten years?

It's a small world...

Right. Not very pleasant though!

Let's have lunch together. Do you mind?

Not at all.

Maybe next time... Today, I'm—

It's been ten years since we last met, so we can't go home like this!

Let's just have some tea then!

How do you know my taste so well?

I like everything about him. He's so nice to me like this.

He's probably the best gift I've ever gotten for Christmas!

We met at a Christmas charity party in New York last year.

Don't you think he's handsome?

Yeah...

He's warm and witty. And he's also a successful businessman. He's going to be—

Your friend probably isn't interested in my success story.

Not everyone is as interested in my life as you are.

I'm only talking about myself!

How are your parents? Is your dad still as strict as ever?

He passed away!

What? When?

A long time ago.

It's really a shocking matter to lose someone you love.

No matter how great the shock, the feeling passes.

Ji Eun, I'll be staying in Korea for a while. Let's get together often!

And you can give me some advice on married life.

OK.

Are you still completely in love with your husband?

It was really something when she married him.

I'll tell you Ji Eun's love story later.

We'd better go now. Doctor Choi will be coming to check on you.

I didn't know it was so late... I'm getting physical therapy today.

I'll give you my phone number.

OK.

♫ How hard has my life been? ♫

♫ How much have I tried to forget you? ♫

Make sure to call me. ♫ How much have I tried to forget you? ♫

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

Then... See you later. ♫ 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 ♫

What are you thinking so much about?

Nothing.

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

♫ You know, without you it cannot be ♫

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

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

Can you believe this?

A man who lost his memory got married and found out his wife was his ex-wife's sister!

Then what's their relationship?

Stop minding someone else's business and bring me the new purse I bought.

Where did you get the money? New clothes, shoes and a purse... and this fancy hair shop...

I got some free money. My sister's just paying off the debt she owes me!

It'll take some time to pay off though...

By any chance, did you sign a contract?

Contract? I'll sign one soon enough!

Really? Th-then, will you buy me some new clothes?

It just depends on how you're doing.

Feel better?

Stop sucking up!

How are you?

You used to say that it wasn't fair that you were born five minutes later than me.

After all, you left before me.

By the way... how is it over there?

You traitor!

You must be happy to have a fiancé like him.

Doctor, I made some mango juice. Just a second!

She's had physical therapy for three months. How is it?

The fifth and sixth vertebrae are damaged.

I don't think she'll ever walk again.

But miracles do happen. Let's not give up.

Mi Ran! Mi Ran! Nurse! Nurse! I need some help here!

Nurse!

Mi Ran! Open your eyes! Mi Ran!

I depend on the wheelchair now, but I'm happier than ever.

Because you're with me.

Do you know what my first impression of you was?

I could see it on your face "I'm angry right now so don't talk to me."

You were so stiff. Even these days you don't talk much.

It's attractive though...

Huh? I guess Lawyer Kim is here.

Sorry for asking you to come all this way.

It was on my way anyway.

We'd better go over it again tonight.

The market research results are very positive.

Aren't you going to meet Director Seo before you start working?

Do you want me to set up a meeting at a convenient place?

I told you before that we went to the same school in Boston. He was a decent guy.

He was? But not anymore?

After his brother died, he changed.

You didn't know Jeong Min is a twin, did you? They say his brother died because of him. Of course, it's a rumor.

That's why he's acting like a car without brakes.

A car that ignores traffic laws and safety, but goes straight forward without care.

But he's a decent guy!

He's very different than his father...

He described himself as a free spirit.

I hate to say it but it's a good thing for you that Jeong Min isn't interested in business.

If he tried to control everything by saying he's a son of the owner, it'd be a big headache for you.

Thanks for thinking about me, but that's not the way I want to do business!

I have something to discuss with him.

Will you excuse us?

OK...

I don't think I could ever control a woman like Mi Ran.

About Chairman Seo.....

I know his offer was too good to refuse.

That was an exceptional condition that he's willing to pay off your debt.

But don't you think he has some hidden agenda?

We need each other.

Don't worry.

How about steak for dinner?

He's probably the best gift I've ever gotten for Christmas!

We met at a Christmas charity party in New York last year.

Don't you think he's handsome?

Se Hoon? It's me.

It's me, Ji Eun.

You're so shameless.

Stop playing with me! Don't call me again.

Please move the chair...

You're acting more and more like a baby.

He's the only person I can turn to.

Is it okay for me to play the baby to you throughout my life?

What are you going to get us for a wedding gift, Lawyer Kim?

Are you getting married?

Didn't you know that?

Ma'am, you have a phone call from the chairman.

I'm coming. Excuse me.

I'm not against your marriage because she's in a wheelchair.

Have you given enough thought to your decision?

It's not something that can be reversed even if I think about it.

I can't just ignore Mi Ran.

Do you think you can be happy in a marriage out of responsibility?

To tell you the truth, you shouldn't feel responsible for her...

And this marriage won't be happy.

I married once for love, but I wasn't happy.

I don't care about love anymore!

Still, the woman Yoon Mi Ran is not the one for you.

What kind of woman is right for me then?

Do you remember that you said the same thing ten years ago?

I know you care about me. I always appreciate that.

If you really appreciate it, give me a raise!

Jang Se Hoon, you're just not lucky with women.

My dad is staying in our summer house on Jeju Island.

Are you really going to buy that summer house?

A summer house?

Dad told me to come right away if you want to buy it.

You want me to get the plane tickets?

Let's go!

Please come with me.

What's wrong?

You never do what I ask you to do. Can't you just do as I say?

I feel like there's something stuck right here...

I want to scream and it hurts!

Can you be with me today? What's a friend for?

How did you know I was in the office?

I always know where you go and what you're doing.

♫ When you have never needed anyone ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need ♫

♫ Now love and hate have sent them far away ♫

♫ When you have never needed anyone ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need ♫

♫ Now love and hate have sent them far away ♫

You're more patient than I thought! Most women would be bored by now.

It's just one of those days!

I don't feel like being alone, but I really don't want to have somebody around.

I just want somebody to sit next to me without saying anything!

It wasn't a great day for me either!

See? There is some chemistry between you and me...

I've never been here before! It's not so bad. I made some money, and shouted as loud as I pleased!

You know you make me nervous sometimes.

Ji Eun, you're kind of scary...

There's a rule called a "run out" in horse racing.

It applies when a horse leaves the track.

Do you know how to solve the problem of a run out?

You just take the horse back to the place where it left the track and start over again.

But life is different.

You can't start over.

The end! Game over!

And that's it. Goodbye.

Why don't you try to snap out of this despair you're feeling instead of boring yourself?

I don't know much about what caused your pain,

but you're just being a coward.

You're scary as I expected. You talk like an ethics teacher...

Let's go! I don't want to get scolded.

Wow! So cute!

It is cute. Isn't it?

It's just a dog!

Look at him. Look at him.

Stop looking at the dogs... Look at me.

Are you really going to buy one?

Hey! There are so many similarities between you and this puppy!

Are you comparing me with a dog?

What do I have in common with this puppy?

You're both hairy! And you have to play with him!

And he just can't understand me when I say some complicated words.

So are you choosing the dog over me?

I think you'd be better off with me!

How come?

I can make money. I can run errands.

And... I can satisfy your sexual desires.

That's not completely wrong.

Right?

But I think it'd be better to live with my puppy than you.

Why?

It'll eat anything I give it. And its parents aren't going to bother me!

And even if I come home late, it'll be still happy to see me!

Are you saying you're going to live as a single woman with a dog?

What about me?

What about you? You're my servant!

Servant?

- Go get some food! Go get some food! - This is cute. - Hey!

I've been to that summer house just a few times because I stayed in America.

I used to let my friends use it... the friend we ran into earlier...

She's been here as well...

I think she came with her husband before they got married.

What's up with that red tie?

He's your fiancé but my customer as well.

I became a successful real estate agent because this red tie brought me good luck.

You're a businessman, so you'll understand.

Sales is just selling an image!

I kept this house, because there was a rumor that a huge resort facility would be built nearby...

Since I live in America, but it's not easy to take care of it.

It's not a bad deal.

I think so. I hear they're inviting bids for the resort soon.

You can't take it back later.

This summer house is mine now.

Do you want something to drink?

A gin and tonic.

And you?

I'm fine. You want some help?

I'm OK.

I'm relieved that you're with Mi Ran.

To tell you the truth, after she was in the accident,

I was afraid some losers would swarm in to marry her by saying they would take care of her the rest of her life.

People just wanted my money, not my daughter.

Thanks for deciding to stay with her.

But I don't know whether it's out of pity or responsibility...

But it's not a terrible deal for you… if you think about where all my money will eventually wind up.

I'm still lacking compared to you.

I didn't think about your money when I decided to marry Mi Ran.

What are you thinking?

I was thinking that I should make lots of money to buy this house.

Are you going to buy this house for me? When?

In about 10 years.

♫ I live missing the way you were, even weary and in hardship ♫

Se Hoon I heard the sunsets are really beautiful here. ♫ missing the way you were,even weary and in hardship ♫

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I long for you even while I hate you but I, I guess I just couldn't help ♫

You're crazy! How could you fall for a bum who works at a gas station? Let's die together...

♫ If we meet again during the time I still love you ♫

♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you ♫

Are you worried about something?

You haven't talked since we got here.

Haven't I?

By any chance, have you been thinking about your ex-wife since you came to Korea?

No.

When you accepted the offer from the Seolin Group,

I thought you might want to show your ex-wife how successful you've become...

But I stopped thinking about it.

You've been always nice to me, and I realized I don't need to worry...

But as our wedding is getting closer, I'm getting curious about your ex-wife.

You've never talked about her.

What kind of person was she?

What kind of hair style did she have? What kind of smile?

What kind of voice?

What kind of memories do you share?

I don't remember much.

Will you be really honest with me? Am I holding you back?

You're not holding me back; I chose to be with you.

Do you know what this is?

My will. I always carry it with me.

It's not because I don't trust you. It's for when I can't stand it anymore.

But I don't think I need it anymore.

I'll let you go. When can I meet your best friend you talked about?

Ah... she's...

Hello?

Where are you? Why aren't you here yet?

I just got here... OK.

Get out quickly. She must be waiting.

Take care...

Ji Eun!

"Thanks for being with me today." Isn't that what you're supposed to say to me?

What are you thinking?

Huh?

Young Eun caused trouble again?

No...

What's a friend for? We've been together for a long time.

Just tell me what you're thinking.

We've known each other for more than ten years...

Right... ten years. We've changed a lot over the past ten years...

That's the way it is. Is there anything in the world that doesn't change?

There is! Nam Bok Ja!

What? Shocked?

Are you crazy?

Yes, I am!

I'm crazy! I'm crazy about you!

I've been crazy about you for the past ten years and I've cared about you and no one else.

Hey! Nam Bok Ja! Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?

What the heck are you?

Ma'am! Please do something with this man!

No. Don't.

Hey! You're drunk. Go home.

Are you trying to hit me?

OK, I'm going home! Bye, my love...

Oh, my, I'm completely getting sober because of this kid...

Sorry. I wanted to have a nice long talk with my friend, but he's ruining everything!

I'll call you a cab.

Sorry!

You can take this if you want.

Thank you.

♫ And I love you so ♫

Right! This song... ♫ The people ask me how ♫

My friend Ji Eun we just met, she listened to only this song when she was dating... ♫ How I've lived till now ♫

Her parents were against their marriage. ♫ I tell them I don't know ♫

The man had nothing!

She married him just because she loved him!

I can say they got married thanks to me!

She lied to her parents to come here with him

but I ran into her parents, and they found out that she had lied...

Anyhow they got married thanks to me...

I've never met her husband.

Let's invite her and her husband to dinner. OK? ♫ And yes, I know ♫>

♫ how lonely life can be ♫

♫ Now that you're around me ♫

Hello? Mi Ran.

I'm at the Jeju summer house with my Will right now. ♫ The book of life is brief ♫>

I am thinking of you when I come here. ♫ And once a page is read ♫>

You know why, right? ♫ All but life is dead ♫>

Ji Eun, let's have dinner together with Will and your husband sometime. ♫ That is my belief ♫>

My Will will treat you.

♫ And yes, I know how lonely life can be ♫

Well... I can't talk right now. I'll call you later. ♫ The shadows follow me ♫>

♫ And the night won't set me free ♫

♫ But I don't let the evening get me down ♫

♫ Now that you're around me ♫

Here they go again. What time is it?

Don't they ever sleep?

I can't help but think I have to go and give them a piece of my mind!

Mom, leave them alone.

When your life is tough, you get annoyed at anything... then you can fight.

Anyway, those people who have nothing are...

Mom, will you stop saying, "people who have nothing?"

We don't have anything. Your daughter is a helper in a good word,

but actually a maid who works in somebody else's house.

OK, so I let my daughter work as a maid to support me!

I'm sorry. I just meant...

They try just as hard to live as we do...

Sorry for not being able to help you...

Mom.

You're always in my way.

Mr. Seo Jeong Min?

I know you're Mr. Chang Se Hoon.

"You'll meet your biggest rival." That was my horoscope today.

I came on purpose to check what kind of person you are.

I heard left-handed people are usually stubborn.

Not all, but I suppose that must be the case with me.

I don't like stubborn people.

You're more aggressive than I thought.

Sometimes it's more important to figure out how to be gentle than how to be strong.

I'm not trying to insult you.

It doesn't matter. I think you should be patient with me.

I'm a little twisted.

Let's try!

See you later....

Aren't you going to the office, Director Seo?

Maybe, or maybe not...

That's not acceptable... You can't get paid for doing nothing.

Why don't you fire me?

See you.

PD Nam! PD Nam! Wait for me.

You understand even if I don't say it, don't you?

No, I don't because you didn't say it. Hey, why not? Don't you call me Nam Bok Ja again?

Hey! Nam Bok Ja! Long time no see!

Sunbae!

He's annoying! What relationship does he have with my woman, that he hugged her at once?

Why do you like the tomboy Bok Ja?

Buy me a drink if you really want Bok Ja.

I'll tell you exactly what to do.

Really? Can I call you "brother" from now on?

Bro!

Do you like it? I tried... I worked hard to bring you here.

The board members were against the idea...

They said I didn't have to take over your debt since this isn't an M&A (merger and acquisition)...

I see their point. But I know you wouldn't throw bait to a fish you weren't sure of catching.

You know me very well!

It was very impressive that your company J-River held 50% of the US MP3/CD player market.

Your company was heavily affected by the stock market crash, so we have to work together.

I read the article about you in Newsweek!

They praised you for having excellent international business insights.

So I thought you'd be the person we needed to be successful in the US market.

The textile business is where Seolin started, and I want you to start with our fashion business first!

Yes, Chairman.

I believe having a goal, rather than ability, is what makes a person successful.

If you're good at setting the right goal, you can be good at anything.

You can show your skills in either the fashion business, or the IT industry.

OK, I'll do my best.

I have high hopes for you!

For the manufacturing lines,

Seolin is highly competitive in the global market.

But our sales network is relatively weak.

That's why we took over a TV home shopping channel.

Having our own sales network can increase our competitiveness.

This is Studio A.

Cut! Subtitle stop!

PD Nam.

Hello, General Manager. Wait a moment.

Okay, break time.

Meet our new president.

Long time no see.

Here.

Thanks. Why didn't you tell me the new president is Se Hoon?

I didn't try to hide it on purpose, but I thought you would find out sooner or later...

Honestly, it's a little uncomfortable, even though I'm not working directly with him.

But how come he didn't ask how Ji Eun's doing?

He should've asked about it as a courtesy. Am I wrong?

Should I tell Ji Eun or not?

I don't know.

♫ I open my eyes to watch you, did you really leave? ♫

♫ It's so hard to endure, I'm waiting for a fateful kind of destiny ♫

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I think I loved you too much ♫

♫ I guess I just couldn't help but to love ♫

♫ Now the only thing I can do is watch you from afar ♫

♫ If we meet again during the time I still love you ♫

♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you ♫

Not today... I'm meeting someone in the evening.

With whom?

For business! OK. Talk to you later.

You want a drink?

As you might have noticed, I'm not interested in my father's business.

What are you interested in then, Director Seo?

Anything except making money.

You've been always rich, so you don't know that money can change your whole life.

No matter how smart you are, a poor man can't beat a wealthy man.

I partly agree with you!

Money can be a good servant, but it can be an evil master as well.

Are you a snob?

Probably. Who doesn't like money?

Money, money, money! Money?

You need just enough to spend.

I've never been an ambitious kid.

Maybe it's because I had it all, thanks to my rich father.

All I had to do was make simple decisions.

"Should I go to college here? Or should I study abroad?"

"Should I work for Dad's company? Or should I start my own business?"

I could make a decision and do anything I wanted.

You should be thankful!

Of course I am... Thankful to someone higher up!

What do you want to say?

Don't be a faithful agent worrying about the owner's opinion.

Looking at you this morning, I realized you wouldn't anyway...

OK! There's always an exception.

I'm not going to blame you for coming late to work.

We can be good friends, or we can be enemies.

Take this!

Hello. I think he's late. OK... I'll do that.

How do you like this design? You don't have a coat. Try this on. Please!

What the hell are you doing here?
