Young-ji!

Young-ji are you at home?

Young-ji!

(SYJ hears KJW calling her)

Young-ji!

What are you doing here?

Young-ji you�re too much ay. You didn�t even call me since you�re back in Seoul.

I�m sorry. I�ve been pretty busy lately.

When did you come back to Seoul?

Let�s chat at another place, Assistant Director.

Can I ask you a question?

Are you intending to call me Assistant Director forever?

Then how should I address you?

Nowadays youngsters always call Oppa,oppa. Frankly speaking I don�t like it either.

Call me by my name then, or �Darling�. What do you think?

Ok.

Try calling me then. Jun-woo ssi, darling. Hurry.

...Jun-woo ssi� � Darling�

See? It�s much better.

I know why Young-ji went to Jeju Island.

Did Auntie ask you to move to Jeju Island?

Did she ask you to go over and lend her a helping hand?

All these.. where did you hear them from?

I heard it from Choi Do-kyeong .

It�s rather sad. Choi Do-kyeong knows everything whereas I�m still kept in the dark.

I really want to know. Quick tell me, did you get to meet your mother?

My mum is still busy. So I didn�t get the chance to meet her so I came back.

Oh I see. You must be feeling down.

I haven�t seen her for 15 years.

Then when is she coming back?

When Young-ji is going to Jeju Island let�s go along.

Anyway I still need to settle the African art exhibition matters over there.

I once thought of this too.

Not caring about my relations to my mother and be with you in this state.

For the past 15 years, even without a rich mother. I still live well, right?

It doesn�t matter whether my mother constructs a hotel or a villa, my mum is my mum and me is me.

If I can continue living like this then it would be good.

What are you talking about YJ? This can�t work.

Why wouldn�t it work out?

There�s a place to shelter you from the storm, why should you be running outside instead?

There�s stability financially and it�s very important. Why you have to disregard it?

With this, Young-ji can go enroll in a university and you don�t need to work so hard.

There�s reward for working hard too.

When I need the money, the pay that I get from working comes into the picture.

And the hope and happiness that my pay brings are all precious and valuable experiences.

Then now you can get to experience the power of being financially stable.

Young-ji, don�t go back to the road of hardship anymore. Now it�s not as if there�s no more paths to take.

If I choose to continue with this... will you dislike this?

Yes. I will dislike it.

Young-ji, I wish that Young-ji you can enjoy a comfortable and happy life.

Let�s go and have lunch. I still got a lot of things to teach you.

Jun-woo, you like right?

Yes of course! Right now they should be in Seoul already.

I have two tickets right now.

Shall we go and watch it together?

I'm afraid I can�t make it today.

It would've been better if you�ve told me earlier.

Yes. I�ll contact you again.

Is it something important?

No, no. Young-ji there�s no more sushi.

Uncle, I need one more serving over here.

We�ve finished all up already.

Hello?

Young-ji, want to watch a musical with me today?

Today? Doctor, I�m afraid today�

It�s ok.

I�m still interrupting you on your off day. It�s my fault. It�s ok, Young-ji.

I�m sorry, Doctor.

It�s ok.

Although I�m still having ramyeon today,

there will be a day where you will serve me a tray of delicious food.

Seo Young-ji has found her birth mother.

She and Kim Jun-woo will continue their relationship smoothly.

You will grab me!

Yes, Miss Ah-mi?

Ah-mi, you�re looking for me?

Before I begin, I�m telling you that please don�t get the wrong intention.

I made a couple of calls and all of them are busy at the moment.

I really wanted to see hear that performance, but if I�m going alone�

So I thought of you and decided to call you.

Do you need to explain for that call?

Of course.

It wouldn�t be good to let Choi Do-kyeong have the wrong intention.

No matter what, being the last one to me is also an honor.

Let�s go.

Not having some tea first?

It�s wonderful! Bravo!

Ah-mi, I�m really sorry.

There�s nothing to be sorry for.

Not knowing whether you like this and dragged you here. It�s my fault.

It was because I was too engrossed in it, that�s why I behaved like that.

That�s enough. Please stop saying.

If I had known this would happen you would have gotten me a cup of coffee.

You do know that I like espresso.

If you�re feeling tired please go home and have a good rest.

No matter what, you�ll still be my mentor with regards to this right?

Well, at least I didn�t snore!

It�s easy right? Just aim and you�ll be able to hit the target.

It�s the first time so don�t be nervous.

Part your legs.

Tighten your grip.

The left hand goes up.

Tighten the grip on your right hand and lower it.

Apply pressure on your right thumb.

Ok, let�s swing the club.

It�s ok. You�ve got to aim at the golf ball.

Let�s do it one more time.

Young-ji, are you feeling unwell?

Nope.

Your expression tells me you�re not feeling well.

I�m feeling a little embarrassed and it�s too difficult.

There�s nothing in this world that�s simple. Here, watch how I do it.

What are you doing? Practice.

I am practising.

You must practise diligently then you can advance to the next level.

Ok.

Then� practise hard..

darling

When are you intending to move?

Living here will be Young-ji's wonderful memory right?

It also contributes to the fairytale right?

Of course.

Oh yeah, spare me some time on Friday. I�m bringing you to a friends� gathering.

Ok�

And when Auntie comes back from her work you�ve got to bring me to pay her a visit.

Understand?

I had fun today.

Please take care on our way home.

Ok. Young-ji you too have a good rest then.

Assistant Director, no, Jun-woo ssi!

This time, isn�t �Darling� a much better term?

Wanted to meet me after parting ways right?

That�s why you ran all the way down right?

I�ve got something to confess to you.

Confession? Tell me.

I met my mother at Jeju Island.

Is that so?

But why did you tell me you haven�t met her yet?

Because she�s not my birth mother.

She has the same name as my mother and around the same age. So they got it wrong.

No matter what, the lady who has a hotel in Jeju Island is not my birth mother.

I too felt disappointed and sad.

Who doesn�t want to meet a rich mother?

I also want to wear nice clothes and live in a nice place.

But that is not right. There�s nothing in this world that goes along with one�s wishes.

I�ve disappointed you right?

Sorry.

I�m ok.

I just want Young-ji to live comfortably.

I feel regretful purely because of this.

With regards to the gathering on Friday, I�m not going.

What are you saying?

Don�t say those things, Young-ji.

You have to go on that day. Understand?

Ok.

Please take care on your way home.

Ok. Young-ji you have a good rest then.

What?

She�s not my birth mother.

How can it be like this?

You must be feeling disappointed.

Frankly speaking, it�s better to be like this.

Why?

I can be an author and release a couple of books before I get to meet my birth mother.

Wouldn�t it be better?

That�s why I like you, always so full of energy.

Of course! AJA!

Right, you�ll be here for the performance right?

Of course! I�ll be there.

I�ll be inviting Do-kyeong and Jun-woo as well.

Ok.

I wanted to ask you out for a piano recital yesterday. You were�

... Nothing...

Oh is that BY?

Friday�s gathering? Of course I�m going. It�s not often that we get to meet together.

That�. Can�t I go alone?

Everyone�s bringing their partners?

Ok, I�ll bring her over then.

What�s your profession?

Because I�ve no money, I didn�t go to university.

Where are you staying?

The yet to be constructed area of #1, Backhill Road.

Wait, you can stop until here.

Then how did you get to know Jun-woo?

I met a lady while I was a substitute driver, and she asked me to go on a matchmaking session on her behalf.

That�s how I got to know him.

Due to time constraint., the interrogation is over.

What is your father working as?

He�s drinking at home everyday and wastes his time at home.

This can�t be. What am I going to do?

I�ll speak to Doctor Ah-mi and ask her to lend me this set of clothes?

Or I�ll go and get myself some clothes instead?

Oh, this is pretty.

It�s true.

This is too expensive.

It�s got a 30% discount isn�t it?

Let�s take this one.

No. It�s too expensive.

Aren�t you attending his friend�s gathering?

Those kinds of occasions aren't to be taken lightly.

Take this one.

Then shall we shrink our funds for the sale and purchase of the earrings?

We�ll take a short rest first.

Now focus your attention on the gathering instead.

Go and try it on. Hurry!

How is it?

Is it ok? Is it pretty?

if it�s like this and you�ve got a winning chance over here.

But he seemed a bit disappointed when he heard that it wasn�t my birth mother whom I met on Jeju Island.

But of course.

And it�s because of this that you have to dress up even more.

You just believe what I say.

So I�m going to take a gamble for this once?

Miss, please give me this piece.

The night records need to be re-arranged?

Shall we do it together then?

Think of the situation during the daytime.

Aren�t you picking it up? Inconvenient because I�m here?

Nope. It�s Kim Jun-woo.

Then why aren�t you answering his call?

I�ve got to let him wait a while. How can I answer it immediately when he calls?

You�re really scheming. Work hard.

Yes, Jun-woo?

Ah-mi.

Are you free this Friday night?

This Friday?

What am I supposed to do? I�ve got two appointments.

Oh I see.

Is there something happening on that day?

I have a gathering with my friends who were in the same university in the U.S.

So I would like to ask if you�re free to join me.

What am I going to do?

I wish I could go too.

It's not convenient?

Let me check if I can re-arrange my appointments first.

It would be great if you can go with me.

I understand, let me arrange then.

Thank you. Then we�ll contact again.

I�m going nuts�

Young-bo, can I ask a question?

Please ask.

Why didn�t you go to Jeju Island?

Aren�t you supposed to be helping your mother out?

She�s not our birth mother.

Really?!

Yes�

It can�t be like this. It can�t be like this�

What�s this? I thought we sent one out earlier?

It�s a gift.

This will be my weapon of battle.

Sis, she�s out.

Is anything the matter since the three of you are all here?

Hey!

This is where I work.

Get out immediately.

You stupid bitch.

You want to snatch our money?

What?

What did you and your mother did in front of my father?

He�s giving you more money than the rest of us.

Stupid girl!

Because of you both you know how my mother went through?

Now you�re even going after our money?

I have no idea about that matter.

Get out of here fast, before I call the cops.

Stupid girl. Let me teach you�

Great! If your mum kneels down and beg for mercy, you will keep a control over yourself?

All you stupid women.

What?

Father pitied you all who are useless. That�s why he�s giving you all allowances.

Now I�ve changed my mind.

I will definitely want to get more money. Just you wait and see.

Stupid girl!!

What the hell are you all doing? Stop it!

Where are you intending to hide? Come out!

Come any closer and I will spare no mercy.

Come on!

I�ll spray!!!

Still not putting it down?

You trying throwing it again!

Jeong Ah-mi! Jeong Ah-mi! You come over here! Don�t run from us!

Who are those fierce people?

Ah-mi, did you borrow money from the loansharks?

Or something happened during surgery?

I can tell by looking at their faces.

They are my half sisters.

Thank you for rescuing me.

Your lips are bleeding.

Why do you have to be beaten by them?

Where did Jeong Ah-mi's dignity go to?

You should show them your dignity towards them.

What if Ah-mi's mother saw this? She would be so upset.

Please don�t say anything with regards to my mother.

Don�t mention her in front of me!

I understand. I won�t say it anymore.

Please don�t cry. I don�t even have a hanky.

Do-kyeong?

Yes?

You�ve seen me in this state.

You still think we can be together?

If you�re still clinging on to any hope, I�m urging you to wake up now.

Jeong Ah-mi

Are you like this only?

Even when you�re in this state, you�re still putting up your guard against me.

That�s why you�re saying this right?

You�re really scary.

I�m glad you understand this.

Thank you.

You can go now.

I�ll leave once you�re done crying.

Go now.

I will go, but promise me one thing.

If those women come and wreck havoc again, tell me.

Is that understood?

Anyway you don�t want to let the person you like see this.

From today onwards I will exercise and increase my strength.

Remember to call me.

Understand?

I�m leaving.

This is Young-ji.

It seems that you�re busy right now.

About the gathering on Friday, I would like to know the exact time and venue.

Please give me a call when you hear this message.

Darling.

1�2�123 2�2� 223

1234� 2234�

Am, what are you doing?

Come over here and practice.

Yes.

Young-ji

Oh, Jun-woo.

You�re here so early?

Of course.

I wanted to find a good seat.

That�s good.

Do you want to head straight into the theatre or you want to go backstage and meet Ah-mi?

Let�s go backstage.

Let�s go.

Oh yes, I left a message.

Why didn�t you return my call?

This Friday�s gathering�

I heard your message, but I was too busy earlier and I forgot about it.

Oh�

so the time and venue has been confirmed already?

Oh, I contacted a few of them and it seems that they have other appointments on that day as well. So�

So when did they postponed it to?

They still have not decided on which day yet.

Ok.

Jang Jang!

A bouquet-holding Choi Do-kyeong!

Break a leg!

Thank you!

I almost couldn�t recognize you!

You�re one pretty lady!

This really is Jeong Ah-mi?

Today�s she exceptionally attractive, isn�t she?

Make-up and lighting is indeed a form of art.

How do you use this? Like this?

Oh!

Jun-woo! Young-ji is here too!

The both of you really look good coming in together.

A compatible couple.

Doctor you�re very pretty today!

This is for you!

Thank you!

Jun-woo didn�t bring any flowers here.

I�m sorry.

This is basic courtesy. Don�t even know how to bring some flowers.

Since you sent me a flower basket the day before, I shall forgive you this once.

The clothes are lovely! Can I go and take a look?

Of course!

Do-kyeong, go and find a good seat.

The performance�s starting soon.

Ok. I understand.

Let�s go then, Assistant Director and Young-ji.

Young-ji, come with Assistant Director later.

Oh yeah, Jun-woo.

Has the time been confirmed for Friday�s gathering?

It�s around 7.

I will dress up nicely.

In order to make Ah-mi notice me, Young-ji kiss me once.

Are you crazy?

Congratulations! It was really good!

It�s the first time I saw Doctor in this manner!

No�

It was really good.

Really?

You�re the best dancer of the lot!

Who says? I�m the worst of the lot.

We all saw it.

Thank you all for today.

It�s our pleasure.

And you�re even treating us to this meal.

Please help yourselves. It�s my treat!

Can I order others?

Of course!

Really?

Miss, I need a pork chop over here!

More!

Athough it�s a bit rude, but Do-kyeong what�s your profession?

I am preparing to open a new business.

May I know what it is about in detail?

I�m intending to venture into finance

and my wish is to build a lovely hotel.

And thus I want to re-enroll into a university.

And Jeong Ah-mi is willing to be my counsellor.

Is this true?

I still haven�t agreed yet.

Since it�s counselling, Young-ji can also be a part too, right?

It�s ok. I don�t need�

I say Assistant Director, not everyone can do it.

Then Jun-woo you join us too.

I�ll hand Young-ji to you!

We�ll have this once or twice a week. Treat it as you�re coming to my place and have tea.

Ok! So let�s do it.

Then we�ve got a team!

It�s going to be fun when the 4 of us are learning together.

Am I right, Do-kyeong?

Yes...

Let�s toast to this, shall we?

It feels weird right?

Yes.

Kim Jun-woo, no matter what, is not compatible with Jeong Ah-mi.

What�s not compatible about them?

I think they�re perfect for each other.

Both of them have good qualifications, good jobs, lots of money and so they�re compatible?

It�s not supposed to be like this.

When Jeong Ah-mi had a fight with her half sisters, you think he would be like me braving it out for her?

Because he�s a prince, so he is unable to do this sort of thing.

What did you say just now?

You saw Doctor Ah-mi get beaten up by her half sisters?

You saw them?

Don�t tell Ah-mi that I said it.

You went out and rescued her?

I wanted to stay till the end.

But those women are like Hercules.

They kept on attacking the same area.

I really couldn�t take it.

Then what happened?

I pushed them away and escaped with Ah-mi.

You mustn�t let Ah-mi know about this, you hear?

It really happened.

Anyway it�s still good.

We both have turned into fools.

Let�s go.

(Text message to Young-ji: �Goodnight� but not sent)

Oh yeah, Jun-woo.

Has the time been confirmed for Friday�s gathering?

It�s around 7.

I will dress up nicely.

It can�t be...

It must be another gathering.

I�ll wear this on Friday.

Jun-woo! Long time no see!

When did you come back?

Nice to meet you!

Haven�t seen you in a while.

Let me introduce.

This is Miss Jeong Ah-mi.

She�s the director of Jeong and Lee Clinic.

Majors in plastic surgery.

I saw you on TV before.

You look much prettier in person!

Thank you!

Hello, I�m YMY.

Nice to meet you.

Let�s sit down and have a chat.

I see that you guys have drunk a quite a lot already.

Are all plastic surgeons as pretty as you?

Unless you�ve done some work on yourself?

I hear this all the time.

I�ll get you some drinks.

Ok.

No matter where I go, I always get asked this question.

One is � have you ever done any work on yourself� and the other is�

Can you help me turn into someone famous?�

Not that.

It�s � I heard that particular movie star did some surgery. Is that true?�

Then did Jeong Ah-mi perform any surgery on any movie star then?

If I said not less than two. I will be asked even further.

So I�m going to keep my lips sealed.

Tell us!

You�ve got such a good partner, how come you introduced her to us only now?

I�ve only known her for a short while.

Are you serious about her?

It�s just today that I asked her to be my date.

Really? Then if it�s like that, can I take her out?

You know that stealing a friend�s girl is not my style.

If you�re really not interested in her you�ve got to let me know.

I will give it a try immediately.

Please give me a martini.

Is it funny?

Are you ok?

Nope. I think I drank too much.

Then do you want to go home?

Let�s dance too.

It feels good.

When was Jun-woo's last dance prior to this?

Yes�When was it?

Aren�t we compatible?

It was during university.

During the graduation ceremony, I think that was the last time.

Me too.

The last time I dance was during the graduationg ceremony at the medical school.

Are you ok?

I said I wasn�t feeling good earlier.

I�ll head to the washroom and I�ll be right back.

Where did it go?

Oh Young-ji!

I left my book at Doctor�s place.

Can I go and get it?

I�m still outside now.

Oh I see�

I need it for tonight.

I�ll go and get it straightaway.

Ok then.

Are you having headaches?

Everything is spinning.

Ah-mi, can�t really hold your liquor well.

Jun-woo...

How was my performance today?

Very good.

It�s here!

I had fun today.

Take care on your way home, Jun-woo.

Thank you for today.

Goodnight, Ah-mi.

Is she asking me to go up and have some tea?

Jun-woo�s hand is very warm.

Please stay here till I�ve finished counting to 10, ok?

I�ll start counting now.

1..

2�

He is a good man.

If I get married to him, my sisters will be so angry their nose will grow crooked.

I must grab him.

Jeong Ah-mi, up close, really has charisma.

I can feel that he�s gently sliding towards my side.

We�ve drunk liquor.

If we continue on with tonight, I wonder how it will end?

Too bad it�s not tonight.

I still want to buy some time.

Take care Jun-woo.

Yes, goodbye.

Young-ji.

You�re still here?

You saw me come?

No.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I left an important book over here.

I�m not coming tomorrow so I came to get it tonight.

Get in. I�ll send you home.

No it�s ok.

I�ll walk to the bus stop.

It�s too late. You better get into the car.

No it�s ok.

Goodbye.

Young-ji!

Young-ji!

Why can�t you tell me the truth?

If you were going with Doctor Jeong Ah-mi, just let me know in advance.

I�m angry not because you didn�t bring me, but because you lied to me.

Didn�t you tell me that the gathering has been postponed?

I�m sorry.

Because there was some special circumstances�

What kind of circumstances?

Is it because the lady in Jeju Island is not my birth mother?

Young-ji

It�s ok.

There�s no need to be sorry.

I�m going off first.
