QUEEN OF TEARS

FOUR YEARS AGO

-[pleasant music playing]
-[birds chirping]

EPISODE 3

Look, everything, all this here,

is my family's orchard.

Oh.

I thought my mom would be here.

Maybe she's at the store.

She runs a supermarket too.

Uh, um...

I told you, our family's pretty affluent
and influential in this town.

Wow.

[both chuckle softly]

[Hyun-woo chuckles]

[Hyun-woo clears throat]

Hey, Ma?

[music fades]

Mom?

YONGDU-RI SUPERMARKET

Jeez. She's not here, either.

[Hyun-woo clears throat]

Have whatever you want.

Try this one. It's their new flavor.

ICE POP

It's strawberry flavored?

This is popular,
which means once school gets out,

these will be completely sold out.

[Hae-in] Mmm.

Wow, it's actually delicious.

I've never had anything like it.

[whimsical music playing]

Never? Really? Never had a freeze pop.

Uh...

You never had one even as a child?

Your mother... never got you one?

No, she never did.

In all honesty, I've had my suspicions.

-About what?
-You keep wearing

-T-shirts with a bunch of holes in them.
-What?

Those are all vintage.

I went to Europe myself to...

Even now, you're dressed up
in something my grandmother would wear.

Just a minute, Baek Hyun-woo.
Listen to me right now.

This cardigan here... [scoffing]

You'd be surprised how much I paid for it.

-Don't be like that with me.
-Really, I'm not poor.

That's the truth. I swear.

Seriously.

You trust me, right, Hae-in? I...

-I swear to you.
-[sighs]

I'll make sure you get to experience
the very best of life.

That's what I want for you.

That'll be difficult.

I told you before, I pay an annual lease
instead of monthly rent, right?

Yes, you did.

[Hyun-woo sighs]

That's not all.

Well, I...

[sighs]

I've saved up two million won.

Uh, I don't want this
to make you feel awkward.

I'm not trying to brag.

It's no big deal.

It's okay if your family
is in a ton of debt.

[chuckles]

In a ton of debt?

Even if it's worse than a ton of debt.

It's all right.

[music fades]

Because...

I'll be by your side.

You're saying you'll be by my side?

Mmm.

Yes, I'll...

be there.

["Love You With All My Heart"
by Crush playing]

[Hae-in] Why was I reminded
of that moment?

If I end up dying right here,

will I think of you
in my last moments on Earth?

[song continues]

[gunshot echoes, muffled]

Are you okay?

[breathing heavily]

[Eun-sung] Hae-in!

[song fades]

[panting] Are you hurt?

Are you all right?

I'm taking her back to the house to rest.
She's quite startled.

I'll let you wrap things up here.

Let's go.

[Hae-in] Okay.

[pensive music playing]

[music fades]

I didn't believe it, no matter
how many times the doctor said it,

but earlier, I felt truly horrible.

It fueled my conviction.

If this is what dying feels like,
then I just won't die.

It felt so...

lousy.

[sighs]

[Hae-in groans]

-You okay?
-[sighs]

[groans softly]

It's sprained, I think.

[Hyun-woo grunts softly]

[gentle music playing]

Is this... over the top?

If this were a normal situation, yes.

But right now, I'm injured.

It's appropriate, given the circumstances.

[chuckles] Of course.

[music fades]

[Soo-cheol] Hmm.

Wouldn't it be easy
to start a wood fire with that?

-No, we can't, because this is oak.
-[Vice-Chairman Hong] So it won't work?

It's not that it won't work.

However, regular campers like me
prefer cherry trees to oak.

It infuses the meat with its scent,
which makes the flavor stronger.

Mmm. Very cool.

Just start the fire.

[chuckles] Our situation here,
it's like when I was

traveling in Africa.

Looking back, my twenties, they were,
let's just say, completely unusual.

[laughs]

Are you talking about
when you spent the week in the hotel

because there were
too many mosquitoes outside?

[amusing music playing]

I experienced everything the wilderness
has to offer through my window.

-[hissing]
-[chuckles]

[lighter clicks]

[both gasp]

[coughing]

[Vice-Chairman Hong] What?
There's no fire. Just smoke.

Ah, I think these pieces of wood
have moisture inside.

Even the most skilled campers
can't do anything with wet pieces of wood.

Baek can start a fire
with any type of wood. [coughs]

Baek's from the country.

He must have grown up
playing soccer on dirt roads with pigs.

So don't compare me to my brother-in-law.

-I didn't grow up going out to the woods.
-[scoffs]

Please, would you keep quiet?

Where's Baek run off to? You can stop.

-Tell Baek to give it a try.
-[Soo-cheol] No, I'll do it!

Soo-cheol, it's fine. Give it a rest.
All right? It's fine.

-[Soo-cheol coughing]
-Oh... my... gosh.

["The Reasons Of My Smiles"
by BSS playing]

Oh, no.

[song fades]

[Seul-hee] Chamomile?

Yes.

Can you make two more
for Chairman Hong and I?

[scoffs softly] Sure.

So why did Father return early
instead of continuing with the hunt?

The thing is, I received a phone call
from the great shaman.

-What kind of call?
-Well,

she asked me all of a sudden
if the chairman went hunting.

-How did she know?
-She's a shaman?

She told me that he would be in danger
if he went hunting today.

So that's why he left the hunt
and came back early?

Hmm.

That means Hae-in must be excited.

Then she will take his position.

[door slams open]

Ma! Hey, Ma. Hey, Ma.

[panting]

Hae-in's being injured.

What? How?

Something about a wild boar
while she was out hunting.

But the injury... isn't bad. It's not bad!

Goodness. Is Hae-in all right?

-[insects trilling]
-[owl hoots]

[groaning]

Well, how did you know?

Of course.

What did she say?

Anyway, thank you so much.

I'll come visit you soon.

-[line disconnects]
-Hey, what did she say?

[intriguing music playing]

She was dreaming

and she saw your late wife
holding a kitchen knife

waiting near the hunting ground,
saying she'll take you with her.

She says you could have lost your life
if you'd been out hunting today.

See? I'm so relieved
you came back here instead.

[sighs]

Don't brush it off,
saying it's superstition.

You should check in with her
when you have important decisions.

Yeah. Yeah.

Ah. [clears throat]

[sighs, clears throat]

[music fades]

[Vice-Chairman Hong] Shouldn't we
call Dr. Kim? It's not too late.

I'm okay. It's just sprained a little.

Hmm, I gotta say,
Baek handled it really well.

I mean, all of a sudden,
he caught a wild boar?

He's been playing coy with us.

Not coy. He's just competent.

Was that a compliment?

You'd have to be truly competent for that.

Boars have thick skin,
so you have to hit its vulnerable points

or you'll be in serious trouble.

That's right. What a lucky boy he is.

Imagine what could've happened
if he missed.

[gasps softly]

Well, it's true.

Since when has he ever shot a gun?
He shouldn't have taken that chance.

He was part of the Marine Corps
Reconnaissance Unit.

-He received several awards for shooting.
-Really?

[Hae-in] Mmm. Really.

Do you know how absolutely ridiculous
you sounded

offering to teach him how to shoot?

[Soo-cheol sighs]

The fact is that if he had
hesitated even for a moment,

I wouldn't be here right now.

Ooh, how nice for you.

-What's that?
-Those big muscles of his.

Those arms weren't built by
holding pens at his desk all day.

-I knew it.
-You knew what?

When I was in jail,

Baek Hyun-woo put the agreement
right in front of me and said,

"Sign here."

You know...

[clicks tongue] My heart fluttered.

-Come on!
-Oh, come on, Auntie.

Anyway, Baek Hyun-woo,
you never cease to amaze me.

How did you make a judgment
like that so quickly?

I didn't have time to think or anything.
My body just moved on instinct.

It's like your instinct knew. Hmm?

"This woman can't die right now."

"I have to save her."

"I have to save her and get her
to revise her will." Right?

[chuckles] Hello?

[suspenseful music playing]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

-[Man-dae] Where's Hae-in?
-She went to sleep, Father.

Of course. I bet she's still in shock.

How horrible.

I examined the perimeter of the course.

The barbed wire around it had been cut.

The boar was already shot
and it got in through there.

That course was meant for Chairman Hong.

What exactly are you saying?

That someone was after Father

and put a boar that had been shot
over there on purpose?

I'm just saying, no one here
knows who could have done that.

[scoffs]

I'll look into
the security footage nearby.

There are cars
in the neighborhood with dashcams.

I'll look myself.

Are you sure about that, Chairman Hong?

Yes, sir. I'll have them ready.

I feel terrible that such an unpleasant
thing happened while you were here.

I really do, Mr. Yoon.

Ah. No worries, Chairman.

[Man-dae] Mr. Yoon, try this soup.

-I actually caught that pheasant. [laughs]
-Ah.

[scoffs] Oh, please.
Come on, Father. Just tell the truth.

-These were all bought from a farm nearby.
-[chuckles]

-[scoffs]
-[laughing]

All right. Now, come on.

-Let's eat.
-[indistinct chatter]

[Vice-Chairman Hong] Here.

[intriguing whimsical music playing]

[Vice-Chairman Hong] Hmm.

Thank you very much. [clears throat]

Hmm.

Why did you season the doraji like this?

I noticed last time
that Baek likes it charcoal-grilled.

I'm fine, really. I enjoy it this way.

-Oh. You sure?
-Yes.

Here. Have some more.

Sir.

[music fades]

[chuckles softly, clears throat]

So, Mr. Yoon, this right here
is called "otsun".

I'm sure if you try it, you'll like it.

It grows on this mountain.
It's quite rare.

I've tried it a few times
when I was a boy.

When you were a boy?

Weren't you born and raised in the States?

I was about 13 years old
when I moved to the States.

I lived in Korea before that.

Did your whole family immigrate
or were you sent there to study?

I was adopted.

By the time I finished college,
my adoptive parents passed away.

[inhales sharply] Now I don't have anyone
in the United States or Korea.

[Man-dae sighs] I lost my parents too,

when I was 15.

I came all the way here on my own.

I'm seeing you in a different light now.

You're not like the generation of today.

-[Eun-sung chuckles]
-He's right.

I'm proud of you,
even if we're not family.

From this day forward, you can think of us
as your new family in Korea.

I appreciate it.

-[mother] Eat.
-[Eun-sung] Okay.

-[chuckling]
-[dog barking]

Over here. Yes. Yes.
Come over here. Come here.

[laughs] Good work today.

[panting]

-This is a Pungsan dog?
-Yes, sir, it is.

Gosh, it's a handsome one. Look at it.

-[Man-dae laughs]
-[man] It's not just handsome.

Our house was on fire a few years ago
and this dog right here saved my son.

-Really?
-Yes. My wife and I weren't home that day.

If it hadn't woke my son
and dragged him outside,

I don't know what might have happened.

Wow! Whoa! What a clever and loyal dog.

Amazing. Wow!

Could I... buy him from you?

Oh. Sorry, but you see...

[hesitates] ...he's family,
not just some dog.

[suspenseful music playing]

-A 100 million won.
-Huh?

[pants, whimpers]

Oh... Our dog isn't even purebred.

That's irrelevant.

I will keep lowering my price, though.

[watch ticking]

Ninety million.

[ticking continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

[panting]

-Now it's 80 million.
-Wait a minute.

Honey, come on.

I'll sell you my dog. Um...

But can you give us the 100 million won?

[chuckles]

Yeah, sure.

[music fades]

[sinister music playing]

-[Soo-cheol exhales]
-[music fades]

Honey, I know I have everything,

but the one thing I lack is prejudice.

-You know this.
-Yes. What's your point?

It seems like Mr. Yoon has had
a lot of ups and downs in his life.

He looks a bit too fancy for hardship.

He must have tried very hard
to make up for all that.

Don't judge a book
by its cover, you know.

You can never know what a person
is really like on the inside.

You sure you grew up in America?

Your Korean's better than mine

and you know all the proverbs
we were taught in school.

I told you. It's because my father
never let me use English at home,

-and he only let me read Korean.
-That sounds like your father.

He got all that great discipline
from the Ivy League.

Want a drink?

[inhales sharply] Sorry.
Booze is too bitter for you.

-I forgot. [chuckles]
-[chuckles softly]

[slurps]

-[exhales]
-Mm.

Gosh, I always feel so terrible
that I can't drink and have fun with you.

What are you talking about?
Why be sorry about that?

Got to use the restroom.

[bottle thuds on table]

[intriguing whimsical music playing]

Ah. [crunching]

[sighs] He's always babbling.

[sighs]

[toilet flushes]

[music fades]

You and Hae-in have the last room
on the second floor.

Yeah, I know.

Have a nice time then. You can go.

-I will.
-Yes, well...

Wait. Soo-cheol.

You know how you've been asking me
how to handle the KFTC

and you want to make a good impression
when you go to speak with them?

Uh-huh.

So do you want to learn
in detail right now?

-Are you for real?
-Yes.

Well, as you know, I majored in law
at Seoul National University

and I now have a lot of experience
as head of the Legal Department.

So, I figured I might as well
offer you my knowledge.

How about it? I promise it'll help you.

And I have plenty of time right now
in the middle of the night.

I don't. I have to see my wife right now.

Oh, I see. That's too bad

[amusing music playing]

Uh... Not for me. Too bad for you, I mean.

Since you're missing out
on learning from me.

Hyun-woo, are you scared?

What?

You're in the same room with my sister.

[laughing loudly]

[both laughing]

Gosh, Soo-cheol.

Oh, Soo-cheol.

What's this about?

We're married.

I... I'm not afraid
of sleeping with my wife.

Okay? Sure, sure.

[laughs, sighs]

[Hyun-woo sighs]

Where are you going?

You're on the second floor. Through here.

Hmm. Uh, I know.

-[sighs]
-Just go straight.

Oh, no, something's wrong.

He's so hurt.

[laughs]

[music fades]

-[chuckles]
-[chuckles softly]

[Soo-cheol grunts, exhales]

Who drank from my cup?

What do you mean "who"? That was all you.

[exhales] You sure?

[chuckles] Well, aren't you drunk?

Oh, you're so cute. [giggling]

-Let's call it a night. Hmm?
-Hmm.

[both chuckle]

[Soo-cheol laughs] Oh, wow.

-I didn't realize I drank so much.
-[laughs]

[suspenseful music playing]

-[Hae-in] What took you so long?
-Huh? [grunts]

[hesitates] You're awake.

[Hae-in] I was
about to fall asleep. [sighs]

I asked what took you so long?

Oh, uh...

Soo-cheol asked me something,
so, uh, we were having a chat.

What?!

Oh! That little brat.
Who does he think he is?

Seriously.

Uh, um, honey... Hae-in.

Please don't, uh, get too upset.

Trust me. I can handle him.

You want me to go talk to him now?

I can be harder on him and make sure
he behaves. You want me to?

[sighs] Forget it.

All right. Yeah,
it's too late in the night.

-Can you undress me?
-What?

I must have hurt
my fingers earlier as well,

so I can't unbutton my shirt.

Unbutton it for me.

[intriguing whimsical music playing]

-Really?
-Hmm.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

In the back.

Here.

[gasps]

That's good.

[music fades]

Thanks for helping. I've got it from here.

[hesitates] Yeah, sure.

[Hae-in] Hmm.

[clears throat]

What about you?

I have to undress?

Aren't you showering?

Do I have to?

I can't go back in there.

[shower running]

-[gentle music playing]
-[sighing]

[gun cocks]

[gunshot echoes]

[sighs]

What's wrong?

Come on. He's nothing special.

He wasn't all that

[dreamy music playing]

You okay?

[gasps] Enough. Just stop it.

And don't think about it in slow motion.

[gunshot echoes]

Stop it, Hong Hae-in.

[inhales sharply] Just stop it!

-[door opens]
-[music fades]

["The Reasons Of My Smiles"
by BSS playing]

[Hyun-woo] Uh...

Uh, there was no robe

in... in there.

[door closes]

Oh.

How about that?

[hanger clatters]

[Hae-in exhales softly]

[song continues]

[door opens]

[sighs]

[door closes]

[exhales deeply]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Incredible.

-[song fades]
-[scoffs]

He's behaving like he's

some macho man? His body,

it's all muscle.

Has he started exercising?

[exhales sharply]

What happened?

-[sighs]
-[knock at door]

[door opens]

[romantic music playing]

[water dripping]

[music fades]

-[gulps]
-[whimsical music playing]

[sputters] What? Wait. What?
What do you want now?

I just... Mmm.

There's... water all over the floor.

I know you don't like that.

I'll clean it up.

It's all right.

You better finish drying your hair.

Hold on a minute.

You weren't looking in the mirror
thinking you look like Timothée Chalamet

after he'd been caught in the rain
or something, right?

Or that you look like
Leonardo DiCaprio in his prime?

Did you leave your hair wet on purpose,
thinking you could pull that off?

What do you mean?

If that's not the reason,

please dry off now.

Okay. All right.

-[door closes]
-[exhales]

Oh, Jesus.

Who is he trying to impress?

[scoffs]

And in the middle of the night. [exhales]

That was too much.

[sighs]

[music fades]

[insects trilling outside]

You awake?

Yes.

This is... a small bed.

-[hesitates] Is it a queen?
-They said It's a king.

Oh.

For a king,

it feels small.

You know, there was a time

that we once slept together

in a single-sized bed.

When was that?

[gentle music playing]

You forgot?

The day I first visited Yongdu-ri.

[Hyun-woo] Let's just
stay the night... here.

[music fades]

[insects trilling outside]

[music resumes]

Uh, well...

It's getting a little late.

[clears throat]

But it's only 9:00 p.m.

9:00 p.m. might as well be, uh,
the middle of the night.

-It's dangerous to drive around at night.
-Yes, I agree.

All right.

You can stay in here. I'll...

I'll be out there.

If you need anything...

-Hmm.
-...I'll be in that room.

Good night.

[Hyun-woo sighs]

[inhales deeply]

[sighs]

[chuckles softly]

-[music fades]
-[bird calling distantly]

[sniffles]

Hey.

[chuckles awkwardly]

-[chuckles softly]
-The stars look really pretty,

so I wanted to, uh, look at them with you.

[Hae-in] You want to
look at them together?

So come in.

["Tell Me It's Not a Dream"
by 10CM playing]

[chuckles]

[song fades]

-[Hyun-woo] Say...
-Hmm?

How did we sleep in that bed?

It was so tiny.

We hugged each other tightly.

Oh. Did we?

If it feels too small,

do you want to hug?

[gasps softly] Uh...

You know, it's all right. Uh...

It's not that small, actually.

I, uh, have room.

-All right.
-Hmm.

Still...

[sheets rustling]

Even if it's not too small,

do you still want to hug?

[heart thumping]

[pleasant music playing]

[chuckles softly] I'm kidding.

[music fades]

Scaredy cat.

[wistful music playing]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[music fades]

[birds chirping]

-No, you give it to him.
-[dog whimpering]

-What are you doing here?
-[man] Huh?

Gosh, I... I apologize.

I wasn't in my right mind last night.

Let me return this to you.

Please take it. We've been worried sick.

I can't.

I already told Chairman Hong
that I'd give this dog to him as a gift.

That's unfortunate.

But this dog you see right here is ours.

He's like family to us.
I can't believe I sold it.

I was out of my mind.

[sighing] That's too bad.
I'll take the money.

-Thanks so much.
-Oh, I'm grateful. Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

-Oh, my God!
-Wait. What...

-What are you doing?
-[barking]

[Eun-sung] You said
you feel guilty about selling it.

-[sinister music playing]
-[dog barking]

Let's say it was bothering you.

How about that?

[both gasp]

[Hyun-woo] What do you think you're doing?

[tense music playing]

Oh, wow. I almost shot you again.

-I said, "What are you doing?"
-[chuckles]

I was just playing.

Really? You looked serious.

I wasn't gonna do it.

-You returned the money?
-Yes.

Better you should leave then.

I saw what happened.

[man's breath trembling]

Your contract is over.

Hmm. You'd better be off.

-Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
-Let's go.

[woman] Let's go.

[Eun-sung] So tell me...

Why can't I kill it?

[Hyun-woo] You heard them.

They love that dog.

It's like family to them.

Oh.

Then... what if they're strays,
or even worse, they're injured?

[scoffs]

[music fades]

That's the security camera
at the forest entrance.

I don't think anyone was out there
besides our family.

What are you saying?
Does this mean it was an inside job?

[Man-dae] Wait.

[suspenseful music playing]

-Pause it there.
-[mouse clicks]

[Vice-Chairman Hong] Huh?

Who is that?

The camera only caught their back.

Don't you recognize your brother?

He wouldn't do something like that.

Just wait, honey.
We're not sure it's him yet.

-Beom-seok couldn't have done this to you.
-Check if Beom-seok left the country.

Yes, Chairman.

[Man-dae] Pack your bags.

-Already?
-Fun's over.

Let's head back.

Honey...

-You remember that kid?
-Hmm?

I think it was, um, 20 years ago.

The brewery's shepherd died
and they caught the culprit.

But he was in elementary school, right?

Oh, that's right.

At Evergreen Hope Orphanage.
I heard he had good grades,

so he was getting a scholarship
from Queens Group.

I think I made him food a few times
whenever he came around.

[man] Right. Him.

When the police
finally caught him, they said...

This is you, isn't it?

[suspenseful music playing]

That dog was valuable.
Why would you kill it?

I won't let him get away with this.

-You know how much that dog was for?
-Whoa!

[gasps] I am so sorry.

Apologize to him right now. Hurry!

That dog was valuable, so...

I was wondering...

Can I kill worthless dogs?

My gosh.
Why would a child say something so...

What a terrible thing to say.

[woman] Yeah, that's right.

[gasps] He did say that.

We were scared
'cause he didn't behave like a kid.

-Doesn't he look like him?
-Who?

[dramatic music playing]

-[music fades]
-[line rings, clicks]

How are you doing?

You get home all right?
Got you a meeting with Chairman Hermann.

Seriously? [chuckles]

Amazing. Okay, I'll see you then.

I'll be ready.

ALL MAIL

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

[sighs]

I...

am going to die?

With Hercyna around the corner?

And the Trillion Won Club too?

[whimsical music playing]

That's impossible.

[sighs] I have so many limited editions
I haven't been able to wear yet.

And I've bought so many islands
I haven't visited yet.

I have to let that all go?

I won't. I'm not letting go.

[breathes deeply]

I collected these off artists
in their nineties

because I was told their values
would skyrocket when they died.

How is it possible I'll be dead
while they keep on living?

I came so close.

[music fades]

I can't let you go.

[Hyun-woo] Then that just about wraps up
this store's contract.

Good work, everybody.

["Tell Me It's Not a Dream"
by 10CM playing]

[imperceptible]

[imperceptible]

[song ends]

[Hae-in sighs]

-Secretary Na.
-Yes?

Is it normal
for a woman's heart to start racing

when she sees her husband even if they've
been together for over three years?

But why would her heart be racing?
Could it be arrhythmia?

Oh, no, it's not that.

Uh... It's just, he's

really hot.

-Her husband?
-Mmm.

Um, perhaps she's sick?

[whimsical music playing]

-Is it somebody that you know?
-Oh.

Yeah, it is.

When she sees
her husband's piercing stare,

she just melts.

[inhales sharply] Why?

It's just that he's been through a lot.

She feels sympathetic, I guess,

toward this man for having to endure

-such a mean world.
-Oh.

Other days, it seems like
this man has these

broad shoulders that make her
want to be wrapped up

in his arms.

'Cause he oozes sex appeal to her.

[gasps]

Should she be letting this dangerous man,

this sexy man,

out in the world every day?

Tell her

she should probably go to the hospital.

-You think so?
-Absolutely.

And she should get a CT scan
of her brain. Tell her that.

There has to be something wrong.

Could be.

You've got quite the insight.

[music fades]

I've been really weird these days.

How do you mean?

I've started feeling

sympathy.

Is that really so strange?

I didn't used to.

I'm typically an ice-cold woman.

It's weird, though.

-[intriguing music playing]
-[thunder crashes]

[meowing]

Why are you whining?

I'm the one holding this umbrella
while my arm is aching.

And I keep... feeling empathy.

[music fades]

DAILY GREEN
VEG JUICE

[both sigh]

Really? Keep these solicitors
out of the office.

So sorry. That man was someone's husband.

So you're giving out favors now?

I know their baby's in the incubator.
I felt sorry for them.

You won't see him here anymore. Apologies.

-The incubator?
-Yes.

How much longer is there?

-For the baby? About...
-Oh, just forget it.

A week? Two weeks?

I'm gonna let it slide
until the baby is out of there.

Wait, you're serious?

And don't even think about
asking me for more chances

once the baby's out of the incubator.

[woman sobbing]
Insurance doesn't even cover it.

We should've taken out our deposit
for the house for her surgery,

but my mom says no.

She says that money is for the wedding.

[sighs] Oh, sweetie.

Come here. It'll all be okay.

[woman sobbing]

[sniffles]

-[water running]
-[Hae-in] I've heard enough.

What's she so emotional for?

Illnesses can be cured.
So what's she crying about?

[melancholic music playing]

[sobbing]

I mean, how come there's so many
sick people in this world?

[sniffles] Oh, so annoying.

I wasn't always like this.

Whether someone was sick or crying,
none of that used to matter to me.

Why am I suddenly so emotional?

And I'm attracted to my husband.

I'm thinking that my brain
is losing its normal function.

Are these possibly all symptoms
of the tumor, Doctor?

I don't think so.

It sounds like a change of heart.

People who are on the verge of death
often experience this.

People sometimes realize
what they couldn't see

-when they thought they'd live forever.
-"They change when they're about to die."

"You're going to die soon."

It seems like that's what
you're telling me right now.

It's not true.

You don't know this,
but I almost died many times already.

And every time I did,

there was a miracle that saved me.

[clock ticking softly]

If you don't think you have
the ability to save my life,

then stand aside and watch.

I've always had good luck.

I will survive this.

[doorbell rings]

[Hyun-woo sighs]

Ah. Director Baek.

We meet again. [sighs]

Yes, I was at the hunting grounds!

-And?
-Why were you there?

I was going there to see Father.
He always goes there at this time of year.

Yes, but that's not why
you were really there.

Wait, am I... [hesitates]

...under suspicion?

The wired fence was cut off

and there was food
placed nearby as a lure,

and the boar that got in was
wandering around until it attacked Hae-in.

-That was planned.
-So what?

[pensive music playing]

Tell us what really happened.

Tell us the truth.

This is your last chance.

You're so worried for your daughter.

When I was framed and kicked out,
you didn't care at all.

All right, sit down.

[Vice-Chairman Hong sighs, grunts softly]

I went to see Father that day

knowing it was the family hunt,
but when I got to the villa,

the great Moh Seul-hee

wouldn't let me see him
saying he was asleep.

I begged and pleaded,
but I couldn't get in.

So I went to the hotel. That's it.

Okay.

[sputters] Beom-jun...

Please help me see Father just once more.
There's no hidden agenda.

I just want to make
amends with him, all right?

You know, brother,
there are some relationships

that are better off
when they are just left alone.

-[sighs]
-[door opens]

[door closes]

[music fades]

[Beom-jun] Baek...

This family must be strange to you.

[hesitates] Uh, no, sir.

Come on.
There are five lawsuits within the family.

Since you married into this,
you must have had to walk on eggshells

while taking care of all of our problems.

Thank you for your work.

Hmm? Oh.

The chairman went to bed early.

Oh. So soon?

Shall I wake him up now?

No, I just wanted to chat for a minute.
You should get some rest.

[sighs]

Uh, Seul-hee,

when we went on family hunting
did Beom-seok ask you

if he could meet with Father?

He did not. That never happened.

So, is that what he's claiming?

[sighing] Uh...

I don't want to offend,

but just be careful with him.

He's been out for blood for a while,
ever since he lost his seat.

Those who have nothing
can be the most dangerous.

[Seul-hee sighs]

-[cup clinks]
-[Grace sighs]

What kind of person is CEO Yoon?

-What do you know of him?
-About Eun-sung?

I know of his business tactics.

I want to know about his character.

You know that people like us
could get into big trouble

if we're too trusting.

It's very important that this deal
go through for Soo-cheol.

If not, he'll be out of favor with Father.

It'll be all right. Don't worry.
I'll look into him for you.

[indistinct chatter]

[suspenseful music playing]

[elevator dings]

[Grace gasps]

What is it?

Oh!

You really scared me. Jeez!

[music fades]

[scoffs] She sent you?

[inhales sharply]
She's more cautious than I thought.

[Grace] She's just easily scared.

But she's only this fastidious
about who she chooses, at first.

It'll be easier with people like her
once their doors are open.

Well, the door is open.

So, do you think you can

make it work with Hae-in?

The money is nice,

but what I want to see the most is
Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyun-woo breaking up.

Why?

I'm basically the original
Madam Matchmaker of Korea,

and she's the daughter
of the Queens family.

We're not just
talking about any family here.

She didn't come to me first.
What a disgrace.

I'm gonna split them up no matter what.

For the sake of my honor and success rate.

But... [sighs]

...you better not get in my way like before.

Are we clear?

That was...

I was only following orders.

But Baek Hyun-woo jumped in out of nowhere

and pulled out his gun
and killed that boar instead.

I didn't know he would
do all that to keep Hae-in safe.

[Yang-gi] Hyun-woo,
your status has changed.

From being the lonely male Cinderella

to the hero who saved their baby girl!

It feels different in the house now.

-I had a pheasant leg for the first time.
-[sighs]

I'd only ever had the neck
or the dry parts before that.

Her father put a leg on my plate himself.

You should ask for more
than just a pheasant leg.

Keep that atmosphere.

[quirky music playing]

But how?

"Oh, of course. I just did what I should
have done, Chairman sir." [chuckles]

Don't act all tough either.

You gotta play it
like you were really afraid.

"Yes. Honestly, I was really frightened."

"I could have died,
but I shot my gun to save Hae-in."

[clicks tongue, chuckles]
Just keep taking credit like that.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm. Do it.

Taking credit is like
a coffee shop loyalty card.

Unless you get all the stamps,

they won't know that you're a regular
and they won't give you any freebies.

I don't... [clears throat]
need freebies right now.

Really?

All I want is to be free.

Jeez, this guy.

-Then you got to say goodbye to it all.
-To what?

"So long, Italian suit."

"So long, high-quality,
handcrafted shoes."

"So long, foreign car."

"So long, high-end luxury watch
on your wrist."

"Goodbye to it all."

"All of Hong Hae-in's wealth, so long."

Baek Hyun-woo the Cinderella will return
to working on his family's orchard.

The problem is that your family,
they won't appreciate it either.

[woman] I'm sorry, Coach.

My son isn't showing
much interest in boxing.

He wants to go to
the tae kwon do studio instead.

[coach] Oh, that's all right.
Well, that's just how kids are.

Yes. Well, then, we'll get going now.
Let's go.

So, Jae-hyeon, why do you
like tae kwon do, may I ask?

In tae kwon do, they have belts.

Really? That go around here?
Oh, is that the reason?

-[chuckles]
-[laughs] Oh, funny.

So that's all.

Hey, Jae-hyeon.

Boxing also has belts. Look over there.

-A championship belt, huh?
-No, uh, Coach.

-Don't worry about it. It's fine.
-[quirky music playing]

-Uh...
-Ta-da!

Whoa! Look!

Isn't this cooler than a tae kwon do belt?

They break wooden boards in tae kwon do.

Of course.

You didn't get a chance to try,

but we happen to break
wooden boards too. Wanna see me do it?

-No, no, please don't show us now.
-Just give me one moment.

-One second, yes.
-[woman sighs]

Let me see, the boards... Ah, right.

Now, look here.

-Huh? Ready?
-[woman sighs]

[coach breathing deeply]

[suspenseful music builds]

[grunts, groans]

-[quirky music resumes]
-[groans]

Well, this is how you do it.

I'll do it for real now.

-All right? All righty. [sighs]
-[woman] Uh...

-[laughs]
-[chuckles nervously]

[suspenseful music builds]

-[grunting loudly]
-[quirky music resumes]

-Yeah!
-[woman gasps]

See? Broken right in half.

Boxing is cool too, isn't it?

-I don't know.
-Huh?

-What is it?
-I wanna go to the tae kwon do studio.

-Ji-seong goes there.
-Ji-seong is Jae-hyeon's closest friend.

Yes.

-Oh...
-[woman] Yes.

Well, uh, I say this because I really care
about Jae-hyeon's presence here at my gym.

-[woman] Yes?
-Uh...

Shouldn't Jae-hyeon have

-a variety of friends?
-Huh?

-Uh, do you know Baek Ho-yeol?
-Yes.

Ho-yeol... is my son.

You two are so similar.

He's crazy about games just like you.

You and Ho-yeol can do
some boxing after school.

You can game too.
How great would that be, huh?

-[coach panting]
-Huh?

-Ho-yeol has the worst grades in school.
-[gasps] Hey!

[woman sighs]

Oh. What happened?

-Blood!
-Hmm? Ah.

-[woman gasps]
-Ah!

[shudders, chuckles]

Oh, why, this is...

Gosh, ma'am, it's all right.

-Yes, it's the board.
-[woman] Huh?

It's just a little scratch.

-We'll go now. Let's go. Let's go.
-Oh, are you leaving?

All right. Take care. See you.

-You take care. Yes.
-[woman] Yes.

Jae-hyeon, have a good day.

Yeah?

All right. Take care.

-[whimsical music playing]
-[sighs, pants]

[groaning]

[groans]

[gasps]

-Hey, you're bleeding.
-It's from a wooden board!

-It doesn't even hurt.
-Okay!

I haven't been sleeping
and I don't feel like rolling perm rods,

so I closed the salon early today.

I should look into selling this studio

and get to work as an instructor.
When Hyun-woo divorces...

Don't mention that divorce right now.

I think, in this case,
we need to accept our reality.

-[moans]
-You want to go to Seoul?

What do you mean?

I tried calling Hae-in,
but she didn't answer.

Let's go persuade her in person
to not get divorced.

Oh.

-Get ready. Come on.
-Huh? Uh...

You were behaving like you didn't want to,

but you're a better actor
than we thought, huh?

Oh, well, I... make sure
I'm good at whatever I choose to do.

Right.

You never do things half-heartedly.

That being said,
[sighs] if you tell a little lie,

the consequences usually aren't that bad.

But if you tell a big lie

and if you get caught,
they'll crush you to pieces.

-Uh, yeah, that makes sense.
-Yes.

So my point is, you can never
let anyone find out the truth.

-You got that?
-All right.

But I'm not in danger of being caught
if it stays with us.

[Yang-gi] Sure.

[engine starts]

Uh, but we should probably tell Hyun-woo

that we're on our way
to talk to Hae-in, right?

Don't be a moron.
He'll never let us go if we tell him.

If he's serious about this divorce,
we have to try to prevent it.

You understand? Come on!

-[clicks tongue, sighs]
-[intriguing music playing]

[exhales sharply]

ONGOING RECRUITMENT

[music fades]

Uh, so what are we gonna say?

-No need for us to make an introduction.
-Oh.

Don't you watch TV?

The secretary manages everyone

-that's in the royal family.
-Oh.

The employees will be startled
when they see us and go,

"Excuse me, your sister-in-law is coming."

And after that,
they'll let us in right away.

-Mm-hmm.
-You can't see her without an appointment.

[scoffs]

Oh, you have to be new.

-[both laughing awkwardly]
-[whimsical music playing]

Uh...

Uh... Oh... Uh...

-[Mi-seon] Here, look at this. This is me.
-[coach] Yeah.

The one with the curls is this guy.

Ah.

Hmm? She's right here.

-[coach] Yes.
-[Mi-seon] See?

-Leave your contact information...
-There it is.

...I'll tell her when she gets back.

-Oh. [hesitates] But we are...
-[sighs]

We are Hae-in's family.

[coach] What family sets up
an appointment to meet each other?

I mean, come on.

[receptionist] Listen, I understand.

Maybe when she gets back,
we could set up a meeting.

-[both gasp]
-Hae-in!

Hello, I'm Hyun-woo's older brother,
My name is Hyeon-tae.

-I know.
-Ah! Eh?

-I thought I recognized you. What is it?
-[Mi-seon chuckles]

Hyun-woo doesn't know we're here.

-We have something to discuss with you.
-Yeah.

-Oh.
-[Mi-seon chuckles]

-Upstairs for a second?
-Okay!

-[chuckles]
-Yes, yes. This way.

-[Mi-seon chuckles] Okay.
-[Hyeon-tae] Yes. Mm-hmm.

[quirky music playing]

Surprised, I'm sure. It's all right.

Don't worry about it.

Even though you didn't recognize us,
it's fine. You can relax.

We're not the type
to abuse our privileges.

No.

Mm-hmm. [chuckles]

[sighs]

[exhales sharply]

[music fades]

[Hyeon-tae coughs]

You must be busy
and suddenly we just show up.

I actually did phone you already.

It's just, you never answered.

Oh, I don't take calls
from numbers I don't have saved.

And my number wasn't saved

-in your contacts, I see.
-[sighs]

But what brings you here now?

Well, it's...

Gosh, where should I start?

Our father celebrated
his 60th birthday recently.

And you're upset that we didn't attend
your father's birthday party?

-Oh, my! Oh, no.
-Aren't you?

Of course not, Hae-in. We weren't
upset about that at all, in fact.

-[tense music playing]
-[breathes heavily]

I don't know if this will offend you,

-but our Hyun-woo...
-Yes?

...is difficult, isn't he?

-What?
-[sighs]

-I get it.
-Get what?

You can't go looking for your opposite
in some faraway place like South Africa.

Your opposite is the one
right next to you.

The one you share a bed with.

They're the one
who's the most different from you.

And they just never seem
to understand how you feel.

Oh, I see.

My husband and I always fought
over the temperature at home.

When we turn on the AC during the summer,
it's too cold for me,

but too hot for him.
We always fought over that.

[both laughing awkwardly]

When we got married,
he would offer to do anything,

but he wouldn't turn off
the air-conditioning.

We don't engage
in those sorts of petty fights.

[gasps softly] Oh, you don't!

Well, good for you.

You're a good fit for each other.

We sleep in separate rooms,
so we have our own AC.

-[exhales]
-[music fades]

Well, that's wonderful,
since you have a lot of rooms.

Anyway, this is something
I tell Hyun-woo constantly.

"You move out,
you're no longer part of this family."

"Even in death, you'll live
as a ghost of the Hong household."

"Don't you dare even think about
coming back. Do not cross that threshold!"

So, I just want to say...

[suspenseful music playing]

[hesitating]

[knock at door]

-[sighs]
-[music fades]

I'm sorry to interrupt,
but if you don't leave now,

you'll be late for your meeting
with the chairman.

I'm sorry, but I have to go now. There are
other things I have to attend to.

Of course. Absolutely.

But I'll text you
what I didn't get to tell you here.

Please save my number, okay?

[quirky music playing]

[Mi-seon and Hyeon-tae hesitating]

I'll come visit you soon.

-Oh.
-Oh, really? You will?

We've been quite distant ourselves
after marrying off Hyun-woo

with nothing at all.

After all, I even owe you one
for the building.

The building?

Uh, yes, the building. The one in town.

Ms. Na, do I have a building there?

Yes. He mentioned it when you got married,

so you bought it.

Oh.

-So you're using it?
-Uh... Yes.

But there's no need for you to worry.

Anytime there's
a maintenance issue, I handle it.

Think of it as a non-existent building
because I got it under control.

[laughing]

-[imperceptible]
-[music fades]

By the way, why did your in-laws
come to see you?

I don't know.

They brought up
my father-in-law's birthday.

That's why they came to see you?

-They said it wasn't that.
-Then what was it?

Well, she said that my marriage is

like our air-conditioning.

Huh? I don't understand.

We each want different things.

Ah. I guess that might be true.

[Eun-sung sighs]

Hey, you.

-Where's the chairman?
-[sighing] Ah.

His daughter had her first flip over,
so he went to go see her.

You're saying he canceled on a business
meeting just to watch a baby flip over?

He puts family first.

He divorced and had a daughter at age 60
because he puts his family first?

-[chuckles]
-Ugh, how annoying.

He wanted the blueprints,
so I brought all the materials here.

Could be a good thing.

Honestly, Chairman Hermann
already knows what he wants.

It's better for you to go into the meeting
knowing what that is.

And what is that?

Huh? You returned?

I thought you were headed home.

There's some leftover paperwork,

-but you can go.
-Yes, sir.

Oh, and...

I heard from Secretary Na earlier that
Ms. Hong had a dinner scheduled today.

Ah. Okay.

She said she might be home late
since she's meeting with Yoon Eun-sung.

So, Mr. Baek, you don't have to stay
cooped up in the office for too long.

I think you can relax and head home.

Who is she dining with?

[inhales deeply]

What Hercyna wants is more floors.

-More?
-Yeah.

You'd have to build a stairway
right around here.

How are we...

That is far more than just a new interior.

We'll need a license to change

-the structure of the building itself.
-That's right.

Chairman Hermann is willing to strike
a deal with whoever suggests it first.

But this is insane.

This makes no sense, though.

-I'm the only one who knows?
-You are.

Good.

[chuckles]

[paper rustling]

[footsteps approaching]

Oh, I almost forgot.

You heard that your brother and sister
came here to see Hong Hae-in, right?

Who was here?

[sputters] Your brother and sister
were here.

I heard through Secretary Na earlier.

You didn't know about that?

[suspenseful music playing]

QUEEN'S BOXING GYM

[exhales deeply]

[muttering]

Eat your udon.

-You can text people afterwards.
-Don't interrupt.

"I know you must be having
a hard time too, Hae-in. Dot, dot, dot."

"Divorce is not the answer, though."

"So please reconsider it for my sake."

Why would she do that?

You've only met each other a few times.

Hey, just shut up and eat your udon.

Why would you bring up
all the building maintenance?

-I was so surprised, that's all.
-Gosh.

I mean, she owns a building
and she actually forgot?

It's like how I put money in my jacket
and then just forget all about it.

For people like her,
it's the exact same thing.

-It's like when you're at the salon...
-Oh! Stop talking to me!

[sighs]

"The way I see it, if the two of you
get divorced, I blame Hyun-woo."

"I already know it's his fault."

[voice shaking] "So can you have
a compassionate heart, please,

and not go through with the divorce?"
Crying emoji.

-[gripping music playing]
-[sighs]

I'm gonna send it.

-[vibrating]
-[gasps] It's Hyun-woo!

BAEK HYUN-WOO

-[gasps] Oh!
-What do I do?

Take it. Take it, take it.

What? Yes, we met her.

Why did we meet her? We tried to
convince her not to get a divorce.

She seemed busy,
so we didn't talk for long,

but we texted her.

-What?!
-[gasps] What?

-He's not getting divorced.
-They're happy?

-Everything's good?
-Uh...

[gasps] It's not that. Hae-in doesn't know

-that Hyun-woo wanted to divorce her.
-Huh?

-He never talked to her about it.
-[gasps]

Oh, God.

HONG HAE-IN

-[suspenseful music playing]
-[line ringing]

[music fades]

[cell phone vibrating]

BAEK HYUN-WOO

POWER OFF

[suspenseful music playing]

[Eun-sung sighs]

-You all right?
-Yeah.

Let's head out.

Mr. Baek Hyun-woo... What's he about?

-That's abrupt.
-You always kept your distance.

You were always suspicious. You know,
I always wondered who you would marry.

I was curious.

It sounds like

you're asking me
hoping that he's a bad person.

He's not. He's a good person.

You saw how he ran in and saved me
even in that dangerous situation.

[chuckles dryly]

He didn't, though.

Mr. Baek did hesitate in that moment.

He was considering

whether he should save you.

[suspenseful music playing]

Hae-in?

HONG HAE-IN

[automated voice] The phone
you called is powered off.

-Please leave...
-[line disconnects]

[music fades]

[chuckles softly]

See, that's the difference
between you and him.

In that moment,
you were looking at my husband,

while he was looking at me.

[solemn music playing]

Do you really believe
that he loves you, Hae-in?

Yes, completely.

I don't know how you define love,
but my definition of love

is more than the good times
you experience together.

It's about enduring something you hate
so much, you feel you could die.

Staying by your side and not running away.

Even if you're

in a terrible situation,

they'll always stay with you.

That's it.

That's what our love is about.

-So many words.
-What?

People over explain
when they lack confidence.

And you... look unconfident.

[glass thuds]

[breathing heavily]

[music fades]

[automated voice] The phone you called
is currently powered off.

-Please leave...
-[line disconnects]

-[groans softly]
-[vehicle approaching]

-[man] Have you been waiting outside?
-Where's Hae-in?

Oh, um, well, Ms. Hong...

[sighs]

What are you doing here so late?

Hae-in is pretty drunk.

She... actually drank alcohol?

Hae-in? Hae-in!

Leave her. She's just resting.

Hae-in... sleeps when she's drunk.

Hong Hae-in!

[pensive music playing]

She's been asleep the entire ride,
so she'll be up in about ten minutes.

Or you could head inside.

I could bring her in later, if you like.

How much did you make her drink?

[chuckles]

[Eun-sung] Huh?

[Hyun-woo] It's just...

I'm worried. She doesn't really drink,
but when she does, it's like a fish.

She's unconscious.
So how much did you make her drink...

for her to end up like this?

[groggily] I mixed different alcohols.

[seat belt clicks]

I wanted to sleep,
but you're being too loud.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sure. Good night, then.

-See you tomorrow.
-What's that supposed to mean?

I, uh...

I thought your meeting with
Chairman Hermann was today.

So why would you
be meeting with him again?

The chairman was absent today.

It was just the two of us.

Just the two of us.

Me and you.

[pensive music playing]

Remember, drink orange juice
in the morning.

It'll help you with your hangover.

[Hae-in] Yeah. Yeah, got it.

-See ya.
-Hmm.

Yes. Well, goodbye.

Yes. Please take care of... of my Hae-in.

-Hey, Mr. Oh?
-Sir?

Drive him home safely.
He seems very drunk at the moment.

He's probably pretty out of it,

-so make sure you walk him to his door.
-[Mr. Oh] Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Get in.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

-[exhales deeply]
-[running footsteps]

[music fades]

You haven't drank in a while. Why so much?

Because it's been a while.

Going forward,
I'll live my life how I want to.

It's unfair.

I wanted a long, healthy life,
so I didn't do most of the things

I saw everyone else doing. [tuts]

And for what? It was useless.

I'm gonna say whatever I want to say.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna do
whatever I want to do.

[suspenseful music playing]

Uh... [sighs]

And I'm going to kill
whoever I want to kill.

Uh...

That was nice
until you mentioned killing people.

I'm going to kill everyone who betrayed me
and stabbed me in the back.

So watch out. This isn't over.

You know, I'm pretty sure
I could kill someone

right now. [chuckles]

If I only have three months to live,

I'll only be on trial
for a little while before I die.

[chuckling]

Better yet,

you can be my attorney. [chuckles]

[Hyun-woo] Oh.

Hmm. Give me that.

Let's go inside.

Now, why...

Why would you say
such horrible things like that?

[suspenseful music continues]

[music intensifies, fades]

Don't you worry.

[music resumes]

You're not gonna do anything like that.

Of course.

I'm... not worried.

[chuckles softly]

[music fades]

[sighs] Um...

I noticed that your phone was off.

-Where is it?
-Not in there?

Oh!

-I guess I dropped it.
-In the car?

Um... Go inside. I... I'll go get it.

[gripping music playing]

[line ringing]

Have you already left yet?
Where are you right now?

[Hae-in] Hmm?

Here it is. [chuckles]

It was inside this jacket.

[suspenseful music builds]

[chuckles] Huh?

-The power's off.
-Uh...

[vibrating]

Hae-in, wait a minute.

[dramatic music playing]

[Hae-in] Hmm?

-[music fades]
-[panting]

[gentle music playing]

What are you doing?

Right.

What... am...

I doing right now?

What a relief

that your phone

is right here.

It would have

been a real hassle.

Why was I...

unconfident?

Huh?

What's that?

Oh. Sorry.

[music fades]

[whooshing]

[gulps]

I told you, didn't I? Going forward,

I'll live my life how I want to.

SANSSOUCI PALACE, POTSDAM, GERMANY
THREE YEARS AGO

[Hyun-woo sighs]

[Hyun-woo chuckles]

This is the palace without any worries?

"Sans souci" is French
for "without worry".

[chuckles softly]

That name is a scam.

Every palace has its share of worries.

-The Happy Prince story?
-What?

Who made a swallow remove his eyes?

-That's right.
-Mmm.

They say that this palace
is where that prince lived.

When I was little,
there was only one thing I felt

after reading that story.

If you leave home, you'll suffer.

I know the prince
would rather have stayed here.

He left the palace and ended up suffering.

He just gave away his eyes
and all his material possessions.

[sighs, tuts]

Hae-in... [clears throat]

That's why he's the "happy prince."

Gosh, he was probably happy
'cause he went totally insane.

I think people should continue
living the way they have.

They don't need to change
just because they're gonna die.

[chuckling]

[song fades]

I want to build something.

A cancer treatment support center
for our employees.

Huh?

To provide financial support
for our employees' families?

Why?

For efficiency.

What kind of efficiency?

Imagine you have a cancer patient at home.

How could you focus?

-I'm sure I couldn't.
-Exactly.

Then will we be selling our products?

No, we won't. Which will damage us.

And if they can't pay for the treatments,
they'll just be crying all day

in the restroom,
with their makeup all messy.

What'll happen to our image
if they serve customers like that?

Uh... I think...

I am not trying to
help someone or anything.

I say this after calculating how it would
affect the efficiency of our store.

[upbeat song playing]

QUEEN OF TEARS

-Will you be up for a while?
-Sure. Why not?

[Hyun-woo] I was terrified. Nothing more
than a fear-induced heart attack.

[Hae-in] I finally get to live
my life again,

and now you're betraying me?

Be careful!

[Secretary Na] I heard it. What kinda
lunatic yells at a department store?

[Hae-in] You're not the same person
I used to know.

[Eun-sung] I worked pretty hard
to hear you say that.

[Hyun-woo] I don't even like Hong Hae-in.
Why would I be jealous?

[Hae-in] I have something to tell you.
You'll be happy to hear this,

so don't worry.
