(Today's Poetry Theme, Love)

(Love)

"Love" by Shin Soon Ae.

In a small supermarket,

I dream of a lost love.

Even when I'm 70, even when I'm 80,

my heart will burn with love until I die.

Love won't pay the bills?

I'll pay for love.

I can't even. I've heard something I shouldn't.

Seriously?

Park, even you?

A man's love.

That is a river that only flows one way.

It flows and flows.

It flows forever...

and becomes a sea.

(55 years ago)

(Park Gap Yong)

The sweet first love.

Its brief and strong scent...

sadly could not be controlled or stopped.

Even so,

one should fully embrace that as well.

A man's love is...

the endless sea.

(Episode 6, Passionate Goodbye)

This is outrageous.

You're saying everything's over without any notice.

Do you think a contract is a joke?

That's what I want to ask you.

I shouldn't have forced you in the first place.

You didn't force me.

It doesn't matter anymore.

How could you not listen to what I have to say?

You haven't changed at all. You shouldn't expect a different result.

Don't you have a conscience?

What you're saying is...

that I'm in some kind of relationship with an old man,

I extort money from him,

I don't even practice...

and shamelessly just skip group practice,

I fight with the other girls so easily,

I act rude toward elders for no reason,

and I can't even honor the contract that I promised.

Is that it?

Don't get worked up. Say something for yourself.

How long do you expect me to cut you some slack and cover for you?

How could you think of me like that?

Ms. O.

Ms. O.

Ms. O.

I didn't want to be wronged ever again.

What if they kick Ha Na out too?

"The Man in the Yellow Shirt?" How do you know this song?

My grandma used to sing this a lot.

I arranged this song with the program you told me about last time.

What do you think?

It's nice.

You're clearly talented in this area.

But we're not looking for someone who's good at arrangement.

You know you lack in dancing, don't you?

You have to pass this evaluation...

to show what you're good at.

(Mr. Park)

Mr. Park.

Yes, O Du Ri.

How do you know her?

- I'll get going now. - Okay. Bye.

No.

If I call first, I lose.

This is wrong.

What's wrong with me?

Again.

Look at this mess in the house.

She meant for me to hear that, right?

Ha Na.

- Who? - My girl, you're back.

You say I'm your girl, but you don't mean it.

Even Mom came to see me, but I saw nothing of you, Dad. So bye.

That was because I thought your mom would kill me if I went.

How did you know I was here?

Mr. Park told me everything.

What's going on?

Do you two know each other?

Emily has always been strange.

Don't you think you came on too strong?

Private life matters, of course. Attitude in training as well.

But Emily was actually doing a good job.

And you know she's too honest to do something dirty like that.

Right.

I should've let her explain herself.

- I shouldn't have taken it personally. - Exactly.

Why did you take it personally?

I'll pretend nothing happened, so you take care of it.

Take care of it like Han Jun Hyuk would.

This is what you should do.

Only think about the evaluation.

Keep your place no matter what.

I'm not sure.

Thinking you're leaving suddenly makes me lose confidence.

No!

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not a pushover.

I know.

But how long are you going to stay at my house?

I'll check how things are going in the house, and see.

What?

To prepare for being kicked out like this,

I need a place to stay.

Right.

(Jongno-gu Art Festival Senior Song Festival)

(Jongno-gu Art Festival Senior Song Festival)

That's true hip-hop.

She'll soon be rushed to the hospital.

Ha Na, it's you.

Mr. Park.

Your phone was off. What happened?

Do something to stop that old lady.

What's going on here in the early morning?

This is the Jongno-gu Senior Singing Contest.

If only Ms. O was here. She'd eat up the stage.

You're absolutely right.

Indeed.

Those skills are enough...

for our community center to win.

She's amazing.

Win? No way.

Where have all the amazing old people gone?

Everyone, is this all you've got?

Is this the most excited you can get?

Mr. MC, may I sing a song?

They're quite daring young ladies.

Let's invite them to the stage.

Please give them a round of applause.

Mr. Park, just tap this.

I'll signal when we're ready.

- Thank you. - I got it.

Superstars from Jongno.

We're Strange Sisters and we'll sing...

"The Man in the Yellow Shirt."

("The Man in the Yellow Shirt" Arranged version)

The man in the yellow shirt

That quiet man

For some reason I like him

For some reason he appeals to me

Although he's not good-looking

He looks strong

I like him

- For some reason - Brass band, cue.

This strange feeling

I've never felt this before

I wonder

If he has feelings for me too

The man in the yellow shirt

That quiet man

For some reason I like him

For some reason he appeals to me

Twirl that sangmo.

That's it.

Great.

Yes.

This strange feeling

I've never felt this before

I wonder

If he has feelings for me too

The man in the yellow shirt

That quiet man

For some reason I like him

For some reason he appeals to me

I like him

For some reason

He makes my heart flutter

Why isn't Choi Ha Na there?

Probably because of Emily.

I'm sorry.

I was worried about Du Ri, so I went to see her.

So did you see her? Where is she now?

You've gotten her wrong.

That old man is like my grandfather.

He's like a family to Du Ri as well.

She should've just told me that.

She must be really upset.

What if she says she'll give up becoming a singer?

Where is Emily now?

(Soon Ae's Supermarket)

You must've used up all your energy to sing.

Here you go.

Ramyun always tastes the best after you sweat.

You eat just like someone I know.

You're such a great singer, Miss.

You completely won my heart.

I could be your number-one fan.

That was nothing.

Right. Did you break up with that old gold digger?

He's not a gold digger.

It seems your hobby is acting like a doormat...

and your dream is to become a poor old lady.

Don't say that.

You sing beautifully, but you're a potty mouth.

Whatever.

He'll soon come to you with excuses to borrow your credit card...

so don't increase your credit limit.

He actually told me to lend him my credit card...

so I was about to increase my credit limit.

How did you know this, Miss?

If you still have a bad taste in men at that age,

living alone is your fate.

No way.

How are you here?

Why are you here too?

You look happy.

It seems I was the only one who was struggling.

Why did you bring that man with you?

I told him he got you all wrong.

He wouldn't understand anyway.

I heard that.

My job is done. You take care of the rest.

Where are you going?

We have to talk.

I thought we were done.

Well...

Yesterday, there was some kind of misunderstanding.

I mean, there was definitely a misunderstanding.

I got too emotional.

That's why we should now try to have a sincere...

Why go around in circles like that?

If you're sorry, apologize.

If you're sad to see me go, apologize.

If you want me back, apologize.

Aren't you here because you want me back?

It's not like I want you back,

but...

I'm just thinking of not pushing you away.

Is that right?

If your boyfriend looks like that,

you should let it pass even when he boosts his ego all the time.

- Here you go. It's on the house. - Thank you.

He's not my boyfriend.

Pay one dollar.

Show generosity to the poor. This guy is rich, so make him pay.

My goodness.

Are you saying he looks like that and he's even rich?

You've got yourself a great boyfriend, Ms. Potty Mouth.

I said he's not my boyfriend.

I said no.

(Symptoms of Early-stage Dementia)

(Dementia)

(Definition, Types)

Yes?

(Taechoon Construction Kwak Seung Beom)

Our companies are about to have war.

So I want to know why you called the board member of your rival company.

I'm not good at beating around the bush.

You won't be able to keep that position for more than two years.

So you should come to my company.

What?

Even that great Director Kang was kicked out of that position.

So you know you can't stay there for long.

I heard there's controversy over the current personnel matters.

Of course, you will be paid way more than...

In the tough market,

my mother held out all alone for 30 years, and this is what she always said to me.

"What's free actually makes you pay the worst."

"Don't even drink water if it's free."

"You may end up drowning in that water."

What's free is this dangerous.

So the rake-off of a secret deal will be worse.

Did you say two years?

Even if I'm fired in two months, I won't go to your company.

It's too lousy.

I said I'll think about it.

So stop following me.

I'm not following you.

I'm just taking a walk.

This neighborhood is quite nice.

You don't even know how to be considerate of others.

So you can't teach anyone nor raise them into a star.

In this cold-hearted and merciless world,

considerance is a luxury.

Good words cure dead trees. That's how the world works.

Talk like you're planting a flower in the listener's heart.

That will make people listen to you more.

Anyway, don't push me.

Wait with modesty.

Wait.

This is perfect.

(Park's Guesthouse)

Is that real?

Our guest house may seem small-sized,

but don't worry.

This is a hot place with user ratings close to perfect.

It's in the middle of the city, and the land price has greatly increased.

So you can even call this a small company.

I've found a house.

Most of all, the location is perfect.

I'll get all my stuff moved here right away, so please prepare everything.

Yes, sir.

What did you say?

There you are.

This is great.

You should ask him directly what kind of relationship we're in.

It's not my fault if he punches you.

I said I got you wrong, and I apologized. Why bring this up again?

Now you know who this house belongs to, so we should leave now.

I won't.

Du Ri, who is this?

He's my boss who fired me.

I mean, he was my boss.

He was just about to leave.

I see.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Daniel. Actually, Han Jun Hyuk.

Let's say I'm glad to meet you.

You can go now.

Sir, I...

Didn't you hear that? He said you can go.

Don't send away our guest.

He's not our guest. He's Du Ri's guest.

No, he's our guest.

- Right? - Yes.

Imagine our guest house goes viral.

Everyone will be like, "Excuse me."

"Where is Park's Guesthouse?"

Hollywood stars will send us DMs.

Becoming a global hot place will merely be a question of time.

Daddy.

This is me.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Please promise to keep my security.

I promise.

Please sign.

Okay.

(Contract of Long-term Lease)

Thank you, Daniel.

That crazy...

That crazy man.

Just hearing about it makes me feel rotten.

He must've tried here and there and gotten rejected.

That's why he approached...

an easy and powerless beginner director.

I see why.

Nobody above has my back.

No subordinate listens to me.

He must've thought I'd say yes.

The people above stretched a point to give you a promotion.

Let's consider this a mishap that could've been worse.

Show them they were wrong through this competition.

Things are tough from the start.

I wonder how worse things will get.

We've only been driving for an hour, and you're acting like you're overseas.

What makes you so excited?

It's been such a long time since I've gone on a getaway.

This may be work for you, but it's a break for me.

This is what young people call "easy money" these days.

- Min Seok, hold on. - What?

What is it?

This makes me upset.

When did we grow so old like this?

This is new.

It's a surprise my wife missed that.

Does she even care?

Don't say that.

She can't stand gray hair, not even nose hair that's sticking out.

She actually cares about me a lot.

I know you eat sandwiches for breakfast because she doesn't cook for you.

And I know you're wearing the same shirt for two days now.

That car in front is too slow.

Someone's out for a drive.

It's close, so I'll surely be able to check on you.

Don't say that. I'm not done thinking about it.

Don't say that. It shows on your face you are.

No!

I know you won't give up on becoming a singer because of this.

So I'll trust you and leave.

How can you be so sure?

Anyway, you should wait for my response.

Sorry about yesterday.

I thought it over.

I was too careless.

I mean it.

I didn't hear that.

What, again?

Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow.

That's cute, but this is prettier.

Let's go.

Guys.

What?

I know how you guys feel.

I haven't been here long,

but I saw how hard you guys work...

and how desperate you all are.

So...

What is she saying? Did anybody ask you to recognize us?

My grandma said...

you never know what will happen.

She said yesterday's foe may become today's savior,

and today's enemy may become tomorrow's ally.

So let's not go the long way.

No matter what the result is,

I will do my best not to trouble the team.

Honey.

Thank you for driving her. Bye.

Honey.

Were you out?

I told you I'm helping a friend these days.

Helping?

She does business,

and I'm paid, of course.

Right. Ha Na came home today.

She said you went to the company to see her.

It seems you were worried, indeed.

I knew you weren't a robot, Ji Sook.

You're a man in his forties who has a family...

and you're being paid by a friend for helping her. What's that?

What you said just now...

was not nice.

It pays the four major insurances, and there's a severance pay as well.

You're just watching someone's back and driving...

and you're planning to do it until you get your severance pay?

I have to do what I can.

I know this won't satisfy you, but...

Stop.

I've had a very long day today and I'm tired.

I don't want to use my energy on useless things.

Fine.

You're such an accomplished individual...

so you don't have to speak with someone useless like me.

Just go home and sleep tight. I don't care.

Good night, ma'am.

I hope you have sweet dreams.

So sad.

Cheer up, brother.

Life is tough, isn't it?

Here.

God bless you.

I'm going to kill that...

I can hear you.

Sorry about yesterday.

I thought it over.

I was too careless.

I mean it.

Should I pretend to give in and return tomorrow?

Should I play hard to catch for one more day?

Why are you drinking when you should sleep?

Because I can't sleep. Isn't it obvious?

I wanted to ask. When is my mom coming back?

She's closer to you than I am.

You're even slurring.

You drink because you can't sleep.

You drink to keep your job.

You drink because you're sad. And you drink because you're happy.

What a daughter you are.

You even talk like her.

That's enough. Go to bed now. You have to go to work tomorrow.

I'll tell you a secret.

I...

hate my mom so much.

She never recognized how I felt ever in her whole life.

What kind of a mom is that?

Isn't that right?

Right.

You're going to tell on me, aren't you?

Go ahead and do that.

It'll at least make me feel light-hearted.

I told you that's enough.

Did you drink all of that on your own?

You're the one who left her to drink all of that.

Me? But...

But...

She should just tell the whole world that she hates her mom.

What are you doing?

I think Mother visited.

How did she know you drank last night?

Did Du Ri tell on you or something?

You're going to tell on me, aren't you?

I hate my mom so much.

Mother's kimchi soup is the best, indeed.

I'm thinking of returning to the company.

Don't mind what she said when she was drunk.

I'm not confident.

I came here because I wanted to know what she thought.

But now,

I'm scared I might really learn what she truly thinks.

Ridiculous, right?

Ji Sook may know something about it.

What you want to hide.

Why suddenly talk about that?

Don't even think about mentioning that to her.

If you do, you and I are over, Park.

I'll drive you to work.

Where's my helmet?

Hop in.

I'll take Du Ri to work, so you can get on with your work.

Thank you for being considerate, but this is to protect our artists.

Hop in. We shouldn't be late.

I received a commendation from the Jongno Police Station...

for a 30-year safety record.

So don't worry about safety. Aren't you hopping in?

Company policy does not permit...

riding motorcycles, extreme activities, riding planes, and riding boats...

until debut.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'll get going.

Get off and walk.

What? From here?

I've never let a trainee in my car.

I can't even.

You insisted and made me hop in, and you changed your mind so fast.

There's not much time. Get out.

Come on.

Welcome, guys. My body feels different after missing training for a day.

What? I thought she was kicked out.

Hi, girls.

- Hello. - Hello.

My gosh.

You're so tenacious.

I'm not even surprised you're back.

You always make things fun.

Sir.

Guys, are you okay?

I heard you had a difficult time because of rumors.

I'm glad you look okay.

This is what gossip is about.

When you gain weight, they say you're fat. When you're skinny, they say you look ill.

When you wear roomy clothes, they say you look like a boy.

When you wear tight clothes, they say you're too provocative.

Eat a lot, they call you a pig. Eat too little, they call you picky.

Dress up, they call you spoiled. Throw something on, they call you poor.

Haters are always going to hate.

In the end,

what matters is whether you feel confident and sure.

Anyway, I'm totally fine. So you don't have to worry...

I mean,

you don't have to be disappointed. Fair play, always.

Okay?

Thank you for being considerate, but this is to protect our artists.

Yes.

It's Ms. O's safety that's important, and nothing else.

That brat pretends to be polite and courteous.

But he's somewhat arrogant.

Dad!

What?

I gave a change in my style.

Yes.

You said you'd never change it even if I beat you.

Son, what made you change your mind?

What on earth happened?

To be honest, my previous hairstyle was Daniel's old hairstyle.

I saw the other day that his neat hairstyle also looked nice.

And Du Ri seemed to like this kind of hair.

The reason is not that important.

I finally feel like a weight has been lifted after 11 years.

This is what you call a filial duty.

Dad.

What's this?

That's Ms. O's...

I mean, that's Du Ri's clothes I bought.

Why would you buy clothes for Du Ri?

What?

Well...

Actually...

My gosh.

I knew it.

Love for the daughter-in-law comes from her father-in-law.

You're such a softie inside.

You're the only one who thinks about me, Dad.

You chose such nice clothes.

This looks so hip.

Thank you very much, Daddy.

I will return with rapidly becoming a couple.

You can't date Du Ri.

Don't get your eyes on her. Don't even think about it.

What?

He really thinks his son is out of her league.

What did you just say?

You moved to where?

You didn't let me sleep in your house,

so I found myself a house.

I slept soundly without any medicine after a very long time.

Maybe the location is full of luck.

I look better, don't I?

Wake up, CEO Daniel.

Everyone's already saying you favor her and she's privileged.

And you're now settling down right next to Emily's house.

- Are you out of your mind? - What is it that worries you?

Don't tell me...

you're worried I might demean myself.

That's not what I mean.

Actually, it is.

What?

I'm not worried you might demean yourself. You're already doing so.

There's no in-between for you when it comes to Emily.

Don't you know that?

I should stay especially alert for the evaluation today...

or there will be fairness issues.

She still stands out...

but they are in better harmony now.

Yes.

I'll text you the time of the evaluation.

- Hello. - Hello.

Is everyone ready?

Let's start now.

But...

Chairwoman Kim.

You're here.

Yes.

I'm sorry an uninvited guest is here.

I was too curious.

I wonder if he has feelings for me too

The man in the yellow shirt

She's getting everything wrong.

She'll be here any minute now.

That seems like women's clothing.

Is that for me?

Why are you here?

How do you think I knew this place?

Tell me who you are.

Why do you keep hovering around Du Ri...

I thought you two have known each other for over 50 years.

Then you should know who I am.

Are you...

What brought you here?

I had business outside, so I came here on my way to give you this.

- What? - You said...

the girls think your clothes are out of style.

I heard this clothing is what the young like the most these days.

So take it.

Thank you for caring.

But it's only been a few days since that incident.

I failed the evaluation today...

so you visiting me here will make things worse.

Sorry.

I was too thoughtless.

I've become senseless with age.

I'm not saying it's your fault.

I'll go now.

Okay. Bye.

I'm such a foolish old man. I shouldn't have come here.

I failed the evaluation today...

so you visiting me here will make things worse.

If you still have feelings for O Mal Soon,

you know that won't do anymore, right?

What nasty ties.

(Internet Cafe)

Yeah. Fresh air.

What's wrong with you?

- Jung Sik. - Yes?

I'm going to live life to the full from now on...

and also be a filial son.

That's not what someone who's been playing computer games for ten hours should say.

Shut up.

I won't be able to do it from now on, so I crammed today.

I had a dream last night.

In my dream, my dad said,

"My son Ja Yeong."

"You will become really successful."

And he told me the PIN number...

that he'd always kept top secret.

- Then you should buy a lottery ticket. - You punk.

It was my first time being recognized by my father.

It's greater than a mere lottery ticket.

This is what humans need.

If there's a single person who trusts you,

your life changes forever.

Your whole life.

From now on, I'll be good to my dad.

You're giving me the goosebumps.

Stop laughing.

You're acting so strange.

Ja Yeong.

The person you are calling is not available.

Please leave a voice message after the beep.

I came because I felt bad.

But why is he not home?

The two days off after the evaluation...

felt like 200 days.

They'll probably tell us to leave, right?

No, they won't.

Don't be scared.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You've all had enough time to think.

Don't hesitate to share your opinions.

Soo Jin, Min A, Olla, Jay.

The girls who were in the debut group for long were not perfect...

but they've become much more stable.

Emily is the only one who is a bit...

Not just a bit, but quite lacking.

I knew this would happen.

She danced out of the overall formation during the evaluation.

It's not like she can't catch up with the rest.

She's just the worst.

No matter how hard they practice,

they completely lack in skills.

I'm not sure they'll even be able to catch up.

Emily broke her habit of layback singing.

Ha Na has a husky voice that no other member has.

She also has a perfect sense of rhythm.

So she has the potential to improve after more training.

Everybody has the potential to improve.

That habit of Emily's is not to show off.

I think it's a charm that no other girls her age have.

I've also heard a song Ha Na arranged, and...

But...

they have to debut to show their talents.

The problem is, we don't have much time.

I feel like you're saying...

if we proceed as planned, their debut stage will be their final one.

Who is that?

But I had it in silent mode...

It's a message from the youngest in my team.

They say this is the video that went viral on Instagram and YouTube.

I'll send you the link.

What is it?

Did someone cause trouble again?

("Strange Sisters who rushed the stage and showed a legendary performance")

(This is the coolest video I've seen recently.)

(It was impromptu, but they did that great.)

That troublemaker.

When did they...

(What a great arrangement. This is amazing.)

(What are the broadcasting companies doing not contacting them?)

(Why do I strangely feel comforted?)

(Great arrangement)

(Duo who jumped up the stage)

(Look at those singing skills.)

(Kim Ji Eun)

What?

Du Ri.

What?

Look at this.

Why is this...

(Retro Goddess's advent, This is true retro.)

- Brass band, cue. - Cool. She's the Yellow Shirt Girl.

Yes.

- Yellow Shirt Girl. - Yellow Shirt Girl.

You look super pretty in real life.

Tell me your Instagram account. I want to follow you.

Instagram? I don't have that.

What?

- Yellow Shirt Girl. - Yellow Shirt Girl.

Don't follow me.

Don't follow me. Go home.

They say when you become a star,

little kids in the neighborhood recognize you first.

Did I become famous?

Park would've been pleased to see this.

But he hasn't responded for three days.

What is he doing?

(Closed for today)

Are you going somewhere?

Miss.

My man is coming to the broadcasting station today.

I've been his fan for 50 years, so I should go.

Who's your man?

Mi Jin, I'm on my way out.

I'll be there soon.

You surprised me.

Mother.

You look well.

Me?

Well...

I look well because you're back, Mother.

Have you prepared alimony and the litigation expenses?

Alimony?

Litigation expenses? Why?

Ji Sook will definitely file a lawsuit.

You're clueless but quite daring.

What is it, Mother?

She must have dementia. She was kicked out by her own daughter.

The whole neighborhood gossipped about me.

And my son-in-law who doesn't even have a decent job...

is chatting and giggling in the morning with a lady who's not his wife.

Excuses or apologies. Say them inside the room.

Mother.

Your things.

Should I unpack your bag?

Yes.

(Tae Jin Ah, you're all I know.)

- What? - Who's pushing like this?

Stop pushing.

Why are you pushing your way in?

- Remember your manners. - What?

Do you treat your own grandma like that too?

Why ask about someone who passed away even before liberation?

Don't make me sad.

Just move.

- Even before what? - Don't be like that.

There's Jin Ah.

Jin Ah!

Don't push me.

Jin Ah.

You're pretty.

- Tae Jin Ah. - Tae Jin Ah.

Please be careful. You might hurt yourself.

Your clothes look pretty.

Are you...

Park?

(Who Is She!)

Was Park Gap Yong that attractive?

What's going on right now?

I know you need my help because you're in my house.

Ji Sook has started to act like an adolescent girl.

Is she not her birth mother?

There's this suspicious girl.

Look into her.

I have feelings for someone.

I never got to tell her I like her.

Don't tell me you're even planning to date someone.

Get away from her.

What did you just say?

I said I would take care of you no matter what.

Were we really in such a serious relationship?
