Original subtitles

Please choose one out of all these.

They're really pretty! You're really giving this for us?

Yes. Let me have a look

It's really pretty

Ms. Cui try these on. I think these look better on you.

They're really pretty.

Oh my god. What are all these?

You all like these presents, don't you?

When it's Christmas, I'll give you girls more of such gifts.

Er.. this..

Don't pretend to be busy. I came here because I felt it.

Hello?

Brother, do you really want to behave like this?

Can you help me look for the leader of the organizing committee?

Ah Yes! I'm Kim Joo-wo.

I'm sorry, he'll call you back in a moment.

What are you trying to do?

Brother, what are you trying to do?

What about?

You're doing this, it's not good either for her or yourself.

Brother you really think you and her will have a happy ending ay?

To be frank, I think you don't even have that much confidence, do you?

Brother, I don't have anymore solutions. Please don't blame me.

Hey, hey!

Oh my god. This village needs to be re-constructed completely.

Seo Dai Gyoo. Sounds like the name of Seo Yeong-ji's father.

I think I got the place right.

What's this? They don't even have a doorbell?

Sorry to disturb you�

Oh my god.. This house is really poor�

And what are these? Isn't this an urinal?

Are they collecting some form of antiques?

A bathing tub?

Where did they buy all these things?

I got a fright

Who are you?

What are you trying to do, coming into a stranger's home?

Seo Yong-ji is not at home?

I'm looking for Seo Yeong-ji.

Are you Yeong-ji's friend? Yeong-ji is not at home.

You're Seo Yeong-ji's father right?

Yes.

Please keep tabs on your daughter.

What? Keep what tabs?

Seo Yeong-ji, right now is trying to climb an tree that is not within her reach.

Seo Yeong-ji recently is going out with someone whom is not compatible with her.

Even if it is so, who the hell are you anyway?

What's your relation to that boy?

With regards to that, it'll be better if I didn't tell you.

Who do you think you are coming here and wearing a wig.

Why are you meddling with other people's business? Why?

It's not a wig! Look! It's genuine hair. My hair!

Whether or not it's a wig or your real hair, get out of this place before I pluck your head out.

Get out!

Oh my god. Look at this old man! So rude!

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

Did you come here to drink our milk?

Why is your voice like that?

I come here in peace to offer warning.

You all are so free to meddle into two people who are falling in love?

It's good that you've come.

Good!

Welcome!

I'll give you some colour since you're here!

Oh my god. Oh my god. Is he crazy?

Are you coming back? Not coming?

Oh my god.. Oh my god..

Still want to run?

You guys help me! Please help me!

You stay there! Stay there!

It's enough! It's enough!

Let go of me!

You're still taking photos?

You all still not letting go of me?

Uncle! Uncle!

Sis, how does this look?

Wait a second...

No No. Try this instead. It's better

Red?

Wear it in front of the mirror and take a look.

Buzz off.

This kid is really�

I think it would be better if You came here first.

Yes. We think so too. Then I'll see you tomorrow then.

Who called?

It's the secretary uncle.

He said the flight is scheduled at 3pm tomorrow.

We can finally see Mother!

Why do I feel so nervous and so unsure?

Me too! I'm so nervous I can die.

I'm happy instead

From tomorrow onwards we can just be like anyone else and not getting jealous of other people's lives.

How are you both going to tell Dad?

I'm telling him I'll be staying over at Doctor Jong's place.

I'll say that my friend's grandmother has just passed away.

Me.. I'll say that I'm spending the night at the library.

Brother, let's try this!

I feel weird�

Hey hey. Pick one!

You're finally meeting again after 15 years. Wear something nice.

I still don't know what's going to happen next. I don't want to wish for too much.

Having a mother who owns a hotel, you can enjoy life in the future!

If I can see my mother once again, it will be enough for me.

Regardless of whether she's sick or poor.

As long as Mother's back, I'll still be very happy.

If possible, having a rich mother is indeed way better.

But, your mum is really that type of person who's a successful entrepreneur?

Mother's a brave lady. I'm always told that I take after my mother.

You'll be of equal status with guy in future.

Your background is different now. And I think he will behave differently as well.

Seo Yeong-gyu, your attitude today is not very good.

I don't know whether I'll still be in this line in future.

You've settled the loan for beating up your friend?

That little 2 million won? It's laughable.

Did you hurt him in any way?

Towards that kind of boy, in what way can I hurt him?

You will know all the details in the few days to come

There's something happening tomorrow at home and I'm unable to come out.

If I happen to come out driving a sports car, please do not be shocked.

Yeong-gyu, you're not feeling well? You can knock off first

I'm not coming for work tomorrow. Is that ok with you?

What's the matter? You look so proud.

Our long lost mother managed to contact us.

Wait a minute. Where did I place my purse?

Oh over here..

Towel, toothbrush are all here. Am I finished with the packing?

Why am I so nervous?

What's up at this hour?

Seo Yeong-ji .. Congratulations!

What?

I heard you've found your mother!

I heard that your mother owns a huge hotel at Jeju Island!

Who told you that? Yeong-gyu?

Yes!

I can't stand that boy!

That's good. If you're the daughter of a hotel entrepreneur, you can get hold of Kim Joo-wo.

I still don't know anything yet. Don't say those kind of things.

If Kim Joo-wo knows about this, his attitude will change.

You'll see.

Congrats!

Fighting!

Wait a minute, Seo Yeong-ji becomes the daughter of a hotel entrepreneur.

When she told me she wanted to start a relationship with me, should I have agreed before?

No� no� If it's like this?

I would have to fight with Kim Joo-wo to get for her love? I still want � Jeong Ah-Mi.

IF Kim Joo-wo likes me for what I become in future, will it be a happy affair? Or a sad one?

Seo Yeong-ji, what are you doing?

Yes?

Am I interrupting you in your writing?

Of course not.

When you weren't around during the day

a lady wearing a wig and had a shrieking voice, saying you're climbing an impossible tree and asking me to keep tabs on you.

Do you know who is it?

And I took all the trash at our place and threw at her and destroyed her image.

Did you really do that?

No�. my precious daughter.. Why do I have to listen to all those? Why?

She's already doing this to you now.

What's going to happen if you're really going further with the boy in this relationship?

Don't you have the slightest inkling? You can't see what's going to happen?

Please wake up will you?

Yes� Dad? I'm staying over at Doctor A-Mi's place tomorrow. I need to do some stuff.

She says it's better if I was with her. So�

Yeong-gyu also said that he's not coming back tomorrow.

Alright then.

I'm here because I've got some explosive news to show to let the Father and Mother know.

Brother is not meeting up with Doctor Jong A-Mi but with another woman!

What?

What did you say?

Have a look.

This girl lives in this kind of rundown place and was even a substitute driver.

Who's this man?

He's the girl's father. A complete gangster!

You're telling me JW is meeting with the girl from this kind of family background?

This child is really� Get him down right now!

I'll get him.

What's going on?

You think it's laughable just by looking at it right, Brother?

What JM said is true? You're not meeting up with Jong Ah-Mi and with another woman instead?

Why aren't you answering?!

Yes, we're dating.

You� You bastard!!!

That means, you're dating Jong Ah-Mi and that girl from that family background.

To think that you actually did that.

Brother, you saw for yourself, Lawyer Song's family.

Married the wrong girl and now their family is in a complete mess.

She didn't even graduated from university and living a poor life right?

Yes ..

Then... do you like that girl?

Why aren't you answering? Do you like her?

Yes .. I like her ...

If it's like this, are you prepared to be the son-in-law of that family?

You have confidence in getting married?

Why aren't you answering?

I don't have any confidence.

You definitely have no confidence in marrying that girl?

Yes..

That's it. End your relationship with that girl quickly.

I don't know whether he's saying he's not seeing her in front of Father and Mother.

Say that again. I want to hear it from you. I don't want to get married with that girl.

Are you listening to what I say?

That's right. I really don't want to marry this girl.

I like her but I have no confidence in marrying her and no confidence in becoming their son-in-law.

So, Father and Mother you both can relax.

Fine. A man shouldn't say two different things with his mouth.

Please help me cut a neat style.

I want something that's pretty and grand.

You do a neat hairstyle too.

I don't want to. I want to do a beautiful hairstyle and get lots of pocket money from Mother.

Brother, mine! Mine too! I'm going in first!

It's great isn't it? Great!

Over here. Tie your seatbelt over here.

This is the first time you're on a plane right?

What about you Brother?

Don't ask me that.

What about Sis then?

Of course it's my first time. I'm so nervous!

It's starting! It's starting!

It's a piece of cake!

What am I going to do? What am I going to do? What am I going to do? It's taking off!!!

Assistant Director!

Are we cancelling the African art exhibition?

Shall we give the Jeju side a call?

Alright. Please do.

Ok.

I'm sorry but the phone is currently not in use�

Yeong-ji.. it's me. You've switched off your phone?

Are you unwell?

I'm curious that's why I made the call.

You're not feeling unwell right?

I'll call you another time.

Brother! The posters for the art exhibition are out!

Please don't pretend to be disappointed!

I thought you made yourself very clear in front of Father and mother last night.

No confidence in marrying that girl.

Yes, I did say that. No confidence.

Admitting that, feeling embarrassed and not happy about it.

But you don't need to be like that Brother. Everyone behaves like that!

Ah-Mi? I'm Kim Joo-wo.

Are you free for a movie tonight?

Oh dear. What am I supposed to do?

Kim Joo-wo asking me out for a movie, but I have to perform a surgery, which will take pretty long.

Well, I ain't got a choice. I'll ask you again next time.

I'm sorry, Joo-wo. I'll call you once I've performed the surgery.

Goodbye.

Even if he asks me out, I still got to reject him once. There's a need for me to do it.

This is great!

It wasn't as far as I've thought it to be. Look at this!

You're all here?

How do you do?

Put down your luggage first and have a rest

The CEO will return tomorrow.

Yes.

And this. Still remember this?

There weren't any photos left behind, only with this to remember her children.

It was placed in her office. I secretly brought it here.

This� I made this when I was in elementary school!

I remembered it too! I put it on Dad and Mum!

See... I told you... she is our mother!

Please help yourselves and call for room service anytime

Thank you!

Yeong-ji, it's me. You've switched off your phone?

Are you unwell?

I'm curious that's why I made the call. You're not feeling unwell right?

I'll call you another time.

Yes?

How do you do?

You are�

You've seen me before when you were together with Jeong Ah-mi.

I'm Choi Do-gyeong...

Oh yes! What are you doing here?

I see that there are many programmes to be held at the arts centre.

I came here to see whether there are any good performances lined up.

I don't think you will like those.

Why are you saying such hurtful words?

I am buddies with those performers and you can say that we're almost as close as brothers.

Then.. what are you doing here in my office?

Nothing much. Just saying hi, that's all.

I see that you're busy. Please continue with your work.

Ok ...

Oh yes� do you know that Yeong-ji is in Jeju island right now?

Yeong-ji? Jeju island?

Yes. You don't know that she is going to see her birth mother?

Nope. I've never heard of that.

It was said that Yeong-ji's birth mother built up an amazing career in Jeju island.

And she built a hotel over there.

Yeong-ji will become the daughter of a hotel entrepreneur. So�

Oh...

Birds of a feather flock together. The same goes for rich people.

Assistant Director Kim Joo-wo, you're also one of them.

This time I've got you.

Look at the total change in your facial expressions.

Life is full a lot surprises.

You find luck in the most unusual places.

Seo Yeong-ji, and so do I.

Right now, I'm at Jeju island. I want to show you the big sea which is full of sunshine!

Enjoy...!

Hello? Yeong-ji! You're in Jeju island right now?

What are you doing over there?

To settle some matters. So I came with my siblings.

What is the matter? May I know what's that?

It's nothing. Just some small matters.

It's nice to hear your voice.

As soon as I hear your voice, I want to see you.

What am I going to do?

Where are you going?

Jeju Island...

Jeju Island?

It's because of the art exhibition.

I thought you said it was cancelled?

How can it be cancelled?

I'll call you when I reach there.

Yeong-ji ... where are you right now?

Yeong-ji..!

Why are you here?

I'm settling some matters with the art gallery over here.

You don't believe me?

It's true. I even booked a room here.

I came here with my siblings.

Did I say anything?

If you told me you were alone, you're afraid that I might come find you right?

When did I do that?

Would you like to come and take a look at where I work?

We're planning to hold an African art exhibition in winter and we'll be collaborating with the museum over here.

It sounds interesting. I will definitely attend the exhibition.

Did something good happened? You're in a happy mood.

Mood� it's because I'm able to see you. That's why I'm happy

Really� Just because of this?

If you're finding it difficult to say, tell me next time.

Suddenly.. suddenly I hear the beating of drums.

Beating of drums?

Letting me climb into a new social status

Sounds like someone's calling me."

Quickly wake up� Quickly move on�

Challenge" Those types of drum beatings.

Assistant Director, you've never heard of those drum beatings before?

Of course I have.

Followed the drum beatings walk towards it?

That's why I changed my education from medicine to arts.

What about Yeong-ji?

I want to begin my journey right now too.

Where to?

Where the drum beatings are calling out to me.

Here� you can't hear any drum beatings?

Listen to the beatings over here.

Can you hear it? You heard it right?

I don't think the beatings come from here. It's over there.

Oh! Look at the lights over there!

Those lights are from the fishing boats.

It's beautiful.

Compared to Seoul, you can see more stars over here right?

Yes, you're right.

Over there is the Casiopea constellation.

Where is it?

Over there, W-shaped. Do you see it?

Oh yeah! I saw it!

You saw it?

And that one. Isn't that the northern star?

The prettiest one, over there.

Nope...

It looks like the northern star.

The brightest one over there. The brightest one.

The brightest star�. is over here.

It's in Yeong-ji's eyes.

It's true! They're so bright, I don't even dare to look at them.

Then.. do you want me to close my eyes?

Yes, close them�

Is this ok?

Don't open them, ok!

This kind of life is so suitable for us.

It seems as though we're born to be like this.

My sentiment is exactly right.

Sis, what did you do last night?

We went swimming and enjoyed ourselves.

A friend came.

Who is it? A friend who came all the way to Jeju island?

Of course there is.

I'm going out for a while.

You're not having your breakfast?

I'm having it with my friend.

Something's wrong with her

Did you have a good sleep last night?

Yes.

I dreamt of you last night.

What did I do in your dream?

Last night's atmosphere was excellent.

I don't know!

I guess you haven't had your breakfast right? Let's order.

Ok!

Isn't that guy Doctor Ah-Mi's boyfriend?

I wonder whether is it because Sis has found Mother so that's why he got closer with her.

She once said that she liked him too right? This is not very good.

Let's go over and say hi!

He saw us!!!

Let's get out of here!

What plans do you have for the future, YJ?

To write a good fairytale and make my mother proud.

Completing my "Diary of A Little Mouse"

In "Diary of A Little Mouse", I wrote a part where the little mouse was waiting for the sunrise in its hole.

I've wanted to know from the previous time.

Why is the main character a mouse?

"SYJ, SYJ" You say this in a fast way.

SYJ, SYJ, SYJ� Ah...! That's why it's a mouse ay!

Did the sun rise in the mouse hole then?

Of course!

From now onwards, the sun will always shine on the mouse.

I wrote a diary last night, just like a self-motivation guru.

Self-motivation guru� a self-motivation diary?

Yes. In that diary, I also wrote of my first kiss.

Then did you write it very well?

Gathering the feelings of that scene?

Yes. My hands even shook while I was writing about it.

That diary, when are you letting me have a look at it?

I won't.

It's not fair! I appeared in there too!

Anyway, I still won't let you see.

Left Right, Left Right, Left Right, Turn. Left Right, Left Right, Left Right, Turn. Change positions!

Sway your hands a little more.

We'll dance with music accompaniment in about 5 minutes time. Do you understand?

Yes.

How do you do?

Hi...

We just need to adjust the lighting and we're good.

I will come to see the performance on that day.

Ok. Is Joo-wo in his office?

Assistant Director went to Jeju Island yesterday.

He's coming back in the afternoon.

Jeju Island?

Yes. We are collaborating with the art museum over there to hold an art exhibition here.

Oh...

It's still not known yet, but there's news from Jeju Island.

So I'm going to go there with my siblings to take a look.

It can't be� It's only just a coincidence.

Then, we'll keep in contact when you're back in Seoul.

Ok ..

I really don't want to leave. What am I going to do?

You'll miss your flight.

I'll see you in Seoul then.

We know about your secret, Sis.

What?

We saw that you're with that guy.

See.. They're compatible together.

Really? We're compatible?

She said she's at the airport. Please head to your room and get prepared.

Mom is back?

Yes ..

Why isn't she here yet? I'm so nervous I can die.

Can you just stay put?

Because of you walking around, I'm getting all nervous too!

She's here.

Mom...?

My children...

Mom...!

I was involved in an accident 10 years ago.

I can't even remember your names.

I'm Yeong-ji...

I'm Yeong-gyu...

I'm the youngest, Yeong-mi...

Even if you can't remember my face, you still can remember Sis and Brother right?

Are you Yeong-gyu?

Yes..

But.. when did you have a surgery? How come you look so different?

Brother, what did you do in Jeju Island yesterday?

I have some things to settle.

What are they?

Good things.

What good thing is ?

Just you wait and see. I'll tell you a shocking news.

What is it?

Anyhow, you smile so happily. It's the first time in recent weeks I've seen you like this.

Of course. I'm in a happy mood right now.

I'm back...

I'm back, Father.

Did something good happen?

I think so.

Don't tell me that he went to see that girl again?

What are you saying?

Since birth, this is the first time that I'm feeling so rejected.

Even when I'm serving the army or when I see some kids getting beaten up during high school, it nothing compared to this.

Brother. You can say that you've done the surgery.

We'll just say that she's our mother.

I want to continue staying like this!!!!

Live well and eat well.

Depending on a rich mother.

Not needing to worry about the school fees.

I want to continue living like this!

Please don't say something that cannot be done.

So does Sis! If she was our mother, Sis you can be together with that guy, isn't that so?

Brother.. Just tell a lie that you've done the surgery.

Shut up!!!

Pack your luggage. We're going home.

I don't want!

Then.. what do you want ?

I don't want to go back to that poor house of ours!

We'll say that she's our mother.

I made a mistake.

Same name with the CEO and in the same village as her children.

I was too rash and made a huge mistake

I would need to re-investigate the matter and decide�

Uncle, that CEO is indeed our mother.

My brother has a cleft mouth since he was young.

He had his surgery done and became better

It's true.

Really! I want to see Mum right now. Please tell her.

Yeong-mi..!

We'll head back to Seoul then.

" The number you just dialed is currently not available"

Yeong-ji? I want to know when you back home, why you're not calling me.

You're still in Jeju Island right?

Tell me when you're coming back to Seoul.

And next week there will be a gathering with my friends.

Could you go with me?

Yeong-ji..! Why are you still living in this kind of place now?

What the hell are you doing here?

Because your phone was turned off.

I called Yeong-gyu and he said you will be at the public toilet.

What do you want from me?

People change so fast.

Do you have to be so proud now that you've got a rich mother?

Yeong-gyu behaved the same way too!

"Yeong-gyu, have you been to your Mom's hotel?" "I don't know. I think so." He said that.

No matter what, you're the heiress to the hotel right?

No comment. Please leave.

Are you being too ruthless? Are you going to treat me like dust now?

The one who told Kim Joo-wo this big news is me! And not even a word of thanks from you.

What did you say?

He didn't say anything?

I even told him you're in Jeju Island. He went straight there.

Are you crazy?!

That guy is no different.

Upon hearing that your Mom owns a hotel, his facial expressions changed for the better. I got him there!

I don't know�

I already told him everything.

His attitude towards you will change. Just you wait.

Are you mad?!

Why did you go and tell him that?!

Who gives you the right to do that?!

Why are you hitting me?

Who do you think you are?! Who gave you the right?!

Call me another day!

Did something happen? Why are you all looking so glum?

What kind of things can happen to us? There isn't.

You went to the public toilet again?

Use that! I paid for that urinal with my money.

"The number you've just dialed is currently unavailable"

It's strange.

Heading to the common public bath?

Excellent...

Yeong-ji..!

Yeong-ji..! Are you home?

Yeong-ji..!

Yeong-ji..!

Yeong-ji. ..
