Every story has a beginning.

My story begins…

No.

What do you mean?

What makes you think that?

My story begins

with you.

EPISODE 3
MY PERSONAL STORY

GOETHE-INSTITUT

Where are you from?

Where are you from?

I'm from Korea.

I'm from Korea.

Where are you from?

I'm from Korea.

Good. Now, find a partner

and practice together.

"…is too big."

This is my third time taking this class.

I see.

You're just not used to German.
It just takes time to get used to it.

Right.

Why are you learning German?

Because I don't think
my in-laws can speak German.

I see.

But what's the point? I can't understand
a word of German either.

This is embarrassing.

That's how you learn.

If you think you know everything,
you'll never learn.

It's mine. Isn't it?

Why is it so complicated?

Because Father is still the president.

So even if you own it, you must
still provide your management history.

Whoever inherits it

must be able to manage Taerim for a decade
and get the board's approval--

I'm sure the board
will just side with Dad.

The hospital director should be a doctor,
not someone who just manages--

How much longer do you think
your dying father will have a say in it?

We should set up a school foundation.

Is that your idea?

Is there a school for that?

There's Gyeongseon Academy
near the hospital--

I want you to answer.

It's family run, but the founder's
grandson doesn't want to run it anymore.

They'll give us the chairman position
if we make a financial contribution.

Then will our foundation
be taking it over?

Not our medical foundation.

But we can turn it into a subsidiary

if we change the corporate name
of the school to Taerim.

What about the students?

Last year, a 2,000-unit apartment
complex was built around the school.

So the number of students
will be maintained.

Buying a school isn't
some children's game.

I'm planning to donate

12 billion won's worth
of our hospital shares to the school.

To reduce taxes,
I think this is the best--

Reduce taxes?

Those thieves.

What has this country done for me?

I worked my butt off.
Why are they taking my money?

How do they expect me to live
after taking everything?

Gosh.

This is so infuriating.

Where's the housekeeper?

-I let her go.
-Why?

Li-sa isn't in Korea anymore. Why hire
a housekeeper when we have a loafer?

-Hi, Li-sa. My princess.
-Hi.

So what time is it there?

Did you eat, Li-sa?

Okay.

Li-sa.

Okay, Li-sa. Make sure to eat well.

I'll call you a bit later tomorrow…

St. Christina's? England?

Gosh. So your daughter goes there?

Yes. Do you know the school?

No.

But I can tell by the name that
it must be expensive and good. Right?

I'm not sure.
My mother-in-law chose that school.

THE PAINTER IS PAINTING A PICTURE

You are beautiful.

Sorry?

You're giving it your all.
I envy you for it.

Gosh. Why would you envy me for it?
Everything is more fun when it's a hobby.

You're an art major, right?

Yes. My college is near Mt. Namsan.

I see. That's so cool.

I also liked drawing
when I was a little kid.

I used to draw in my journal at night
with a flashlight on.

Do you have a photo of your daughter?

Yes.

If you like drawing,
just draw whenever you want.

-Thanks for the drink.
-Sure.

What about Mother's dinner?

Here.

What is it?

You remember all the other occasions,
but never our wedding anniversary.

Right. I'm sorry.

Do you not like it?
Should I get something else you need?

I don't think mere words
would be enough to thank you.

-What's wrong?
-I must be losing it.

I really like it. I mean it.

I'm so happy right now.

But you'll get busier and busier,

and since Li-sa is at boarding school,

I just feel useless.

Don't be silly.

Right. I guess I have
too much time on my hands.

-Then you should think about that.
-What?

About what you want to do
in your spare time.

Hey.

People do use contés and charcoals a lot.

But pencils are the best for beginners.

Here. 4B pencils.

-You've seen them in art classes, right?
-Yes.

They are good for drawing,
adding details, and adjusting accents,

but not so good when sketching
because they smudge easily.

So for sketching, 2B pencils are better.

These are harder, so they are better
when drawing thick lines.

And…

unless you're very experienced,
drawing with 6B pencils will be tough.

Just remember
pencils also have their own colors.

I was hesitant to learn
how to draw because of my age.

But I'm glad I decided to.

Even if you started late,
you can do it for a long time.

There's no point starting early
if you end up quitting.

I'll do it then.

-Gosh. This is so nice.
-Right?

Don't be so formal with me.

In due time.

I quit my job at the academy today.

Thank you so much.

Preparing students
for the exam is so hard.

I have to only focus
on the technical aspects.

Technical aspects?

Some choose art because of their grades,
and some lack direction.

But if we train them for a few years,
they can draw pretty well.

And some of them get quite good.
Then I feel really bad for them.

Why? If they improve,
doesn't it mean you've done your job?

Let's say they drew for years
and got pretty good.

Then they'd have no choice
but to continue drawing.

But in the end, it's a waste of time
because they can't beat talent.

I see. You can only say that

because you are the talented one.

Well, I'm different. My grandpa
worked all his life to support me,

so I could pursue my dream.

Failing was never an option for me.

I love your confidence.

I know it's tough.

I don't really feel that way.
This is fun for me.

I'm simple. When I like something,
I get lost in it.

HANNAH

-Hey.
-I'm sorry, Hui-ju.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

My grandfather is hurt.
About today's lesson--

We can reschedule our lesson.

Is he hurt badly?

Well, I'm not sure.

I'll know once I get there.

Where are you? Let me--

No, Hui-ju. A close friend of mine
from school will fill in for me today.

What?

My friend will teach you instead.

No. We can just reschedule it…

That must be my friend.

Hui-ju, I just need a few days.
I'll call you again.

Hannah…

So you're the one who brought all this

upon yourself.

I don't want anything from you, Hui-ju.

How can I believe you?

You gave up a full-time position,
came to the school where my husband works,

and assaulted my daughter.

I didn't know. I'm telling the truth.

After I found out, I wanted to apologize.

Your apology makes me uncomfortable.

You barge in here as you please
just to give me your sorry excuses.

I'm sorry if I made you feel that way.

Hearing that you're sorry…

The person you should apologize to
is Li-sa, not me.

As I told you the other day,
she's not ready to see you.

So what you're doing
to my family is abuse.

I heard last year that Taerim High School
would turn into a high school of arts.

I heard working at Taerim
would increase my chance

at getting a job at an arts high school.

So I gave up on the full-time position
and came to Taerim.

I had no ulterior motive.

So

you want me to believe you?

What should I do to make you believe me?
Should I lie?

Ma'am.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Thank you. Bye.
-Bye.

My teacher said I did well!

Get in the car.

You can keep denying all you want,

but I think you're deliberately
hanging around my family.

I hope I'm worried for nothing.

Ho-su.

Ho-su, I told you
not to be friendly with strangers.

She's not a stranger.

What do you mean?

Ho-su, it's time for your snack.

Ho-su.

Were you home?

When did you come home?

A while ago. I was tired.

Did you talk to your ex? What did he say?

May I help you?

I'm here to pick up my stuff.

I had to wait until the students left.

Teachers mediate when kids fight.

-Pardon?
-You told Ju-yeong

not to put up with Li-sa.

Oh, that?

I did.

Since they weren't foolish enough
to fight in front of me,

I never got the chance to stop them.

So you didn't even see them fight,

but you made that decision
after talking to Ju-yeong?

What you see isn't everything.

Don't be fooled, Mr. An.

If you underestimate kids,

you might find yourself
in trouble beyond your imagination.

You make it sound like
Li-sa did something wrong.

What is it that you know?

Li-sa and Ju-yeong
didn't tell me anything alarming.

Of course not.

Girls at that age don't trust their dads.

Right.

Ju-yeong told me

that you seemed like a great guy.

But I don't trust people who give off

such an impression.

Because people like that usually

come with disgusting caveats.

NOTICE OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION

TAERIM GIRLS' MIDDLE SCHOOL,
TEACHER GU HAE-WON

THE TEACHER IS TO BE DISMISSED
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, AN HYEON-SEONG

It hasn't been finalized yet.
How did you get this?

Right? Someone who was
worried about the school

gave me a heads-up
about the possible mishap.

Who?

That's not the point.
Don't you think this is a cowardly move?

Ms. Gu. Watch your tongue.

I will face the punishment
for what I did to Li-sa.

But I will not let you violate

my rights as a teacher
and diminish the quality of my class.

And what if you won't?

Have you ever tried avoiding a dog?

If you run, it chases after you even more.

I hope you will make a wise decision.

His wife showed up
after several years and took him?

And Ms. Gu's immigration records?

She was in Korea when his wife showed up.

So this piece of paper was all it took?

The hospital didn't even check up on it?

DIRECTOR AN HYEON-SEONG

We must find him then.

Yes, sir.

Look everywhere we can
around Gu Hae-won first.

Find him.

JEONG HUI-JU'S SOLO INVITATIONAL EXHIBIT

REVISED: FANTASY I
COMPLETED: LI-SA I, LI-SA II

I'm sorry to call you this late.

But you left behind a painting.

I feel like I'm dreaming.

You are.

I don't care if it's just a dream.

I just don't want to wake up from it.

A nightmare is over

once I wake up.

Li-sa.

I'm off to my lesson.

Already? Do you think you'll be okay?

The competition is around the corner.

I already wasted enough time.

Yesterday…

What about yesterday?

Who comes unannounced that early?
You should've called.

Sleep some more.

I came because
I heard you were worried about me.

If that was the case,
you could have just called me.

Since you're here,
have some food before you go.

When the weather is cold,
radishes are good for your health.

I'll braise them with anchovies.

Keep chopping them.

What?

I like listening to the sound
of you chopping radishes.

What a silly thing to like.

I like it. It makes me feel safe.

I like it.

Come visit me whenever things get tough.

I can chop up
all the radishes in the world for you.

Since when did my hospital
have a partner in Ireland?

Where's Ireland, by the way?

Did you approve this?

Yes.

How many years has it been?

Why invest in this, instead of the school?

It won't be a waste.

Even if the school has leftover endowments
after the expenditure,

you know that
we can't use that money to reinvest.

And I don't want to buy land
like the other schools.

And?

The general hospital coming into Sejong

will start a joint curriculum
with Trinity University in Ireland.

And Korean pharmaceuticals started
to manufacture their products in Ireland.

Taerim doesn't have a partner abroad yet,

so I thought
this would be favorable for us.

Is he telling the truth?

Among English-speaking countries,

it's the only hospital
without a partner in Korea.

Why didn't you tell me
if this was a good deal?

I was going to tell you

once we started making profit.

How and when did you set this up?

It's been a while.

I postponed a meeting for you.

I'll get going now.

I doubt that he came up with this alone.

I bet Hui-ju had something to do with it.

Check everything from A to Z.

A recommendation
from another artist will go here.

We'll list your past exhibitions here.

You can write the explanations
for your pieces yourself,

or we can invite a critic
to write something for your pieces.

That exhibition seems to have
the director's attention.

Right.

Our slots were
already filled for the year.

But she invited the artist
for a pop-up exhibition.

We just do what she tells us to do.

-As for the price range…
-Yes.

This is the number
we have in mind per piece.

EXHIBITION UNDER PREPARATION

She looks like you.

Hello.

It really does give off
the impression of you.

I'm still torn.

This piece doesn't suit the overall theme

or show the artist's style,
but I'm drawn to it.

Of all the works,
this is the only portrait.

It must be someone they liked.

Maybe it's the angle, but it's like
the artist is secretly peeking at her.

I can feel the love from the artist.

Who's the artist?
I heard that you handpicked them.

You wouldn't know even if I told you.
At least not yet.

Right. Why don't you come?

I'll introduce you during the reception.

Sure. Thank you.

Thank you, Hui-ju.

Without a car, I even thought
about borrowing a cart to the post office.

You've been drawing here the whole time?

Can you even focus here?

It's my friend's studio.

This place is really good
compared to the one at school.

The school studio stinks and is dusty.

Some even pee there because
walking to the toilet is a hassle.

I got it. It's mine, so I should do it.

They look so lonely.

-Pardon?
-I mean, why didn't you draw faces?

Oh, those? Those are my friend's works.

He doesn't draw faces.

Why not?

He only draws what he considers real,

but he doesn't feel that way
towards people.

Really?

Don't erase it. Start from here again.

It'll be yours even if it's bad.

But how much longer
do I have to draw the same thing?

Until you can draw
the same object differently.

I'm not doing this to pass some exam.
I've been doing the same thing for days.

Can't we wrap up here today?

You left this behind last time.

Okay. You can start now.

Goodness.

Sorry.

I was thirsty, so…

Your left side is prettier.

Pardon?

I mean, your face.

And the curve from your forehead,
cheekbone, and chin.

You say that as if it was nothing.

That's not true.
I had to muster up the courage to say it.

We meet again.

The confessional is closed for the day.

I thought about giving it a try today.

Did you do something wrong?

I was just curious

if God would forgive me for the sins
I would commit in the future.

That won't be possible, will it?

Then you can just not do it.

What are you planning to do?

That's a secret.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Are you here to pray?

I was waiting for you.

In case you showed up.

Me?

Yes.

Well…

Li-sa…

She's my niece.

I see.

I have a question.

From what I've seen,

you're not the type to get emotional
and hit a student for no reason.

If I say you're right,
it'll only paint Li-sa in a bad light.

And if I say you're wrong,
it will make me look really awful.

But I was awful.

Whatever the reason was,

I did get emotional when I hit Li-sa.

So I'm in the process of apologizing.

And I will keep trying.

I'm not sure if she'll forgive me though.

You should.

Apologize to her when you have the chance.

Not being able to apologize

is harder than not being forgiven.

It's been shaking the whole time.

I think it's a muscle spasm
due to anxiety. Come in for treatment.

You know what today is, right?

-Yes.
-Let's go.

I'd like those pears. How much is it?

It's 10,000 won.

You have to live

a good life for Jeong-seop's sake.

Okay?

While I was going through the closet,

I found a shirt I bought
for him to wear when he woke up.

I want you to wear it instead.

You guys used to share clothes.
Your size hasn't changed, right?

Thank you.

Have some more rice.

Right.

I know how Hui-ju feels.

She can't gloss over it
after what happened to Li-sa.

The disciplinary committee
will make a decision

by the end of today.

Was I too loud?

No. It's just that I have
a lot to go over today.

Don't just sit at the desk all day.
Get some exercise.

Exercise.

And I told you multiple times
we should use honorifics with each other.

That's cringey. It's not like
we have a big age gap.

I insist.

If we're loose with our words,

our actions will soon follow.

Open up your chest.

That's it.

Okay. Keep looking forward.

You have more muscles than me.
You're flexible too.

I don't want to do it,
but I'm forcing myself.

You can lower it.

Slowly.

You can get up now.

I mean, I'm exercising to survive.
That's all.

The final products of art are beautiful.

But the process of getting there
is like doing manual labor.

Sounds similar to exercising.

-Let's take a break.
-Okay.

MOTHER

Why did you invite her?
She rarely wears these kind of clothes.

Then you should lose weight.

She's a nice trophy to drag around
when we go shopping.

She makes good clothes,
but she gossips too much.

-We're done.
-Thank you.

This way, please.

Keep the measurements tight.

She didn't use to be such a wreck.
She's been gaining weight lately.

Did you check what I sent you?
The school looks good, right?

Yes, it does.
But Ho-su is still very young.

So he won't know what a privilege that is.

He should to go
a normal school just like--

What are you saying?

Hey, how could you be so naive
in this day and age?

A normal school?
Do you think everyone is equal?

He was born into a different class.
Why throw that away?

If he wants to go there,
I'll think about it.

Jeong-hwan said
he wanted to go abroad first.

He must be educated properly
to be able to recognize good values.

The quality of their lives
will depend on their upbringings.

Look at Li-sa.

She could've stayed in England.
But you brought her back--

I heard Li-sa changed her major again.

How dare you cut me off.

Turning the school into a school of arts
just for Li-sa is too much.

It was already decided
before Li-sa came back to Korea.

You know that.

Right. I know that you have
Hyeon-seong wrapped around your finger.

Even so, she should still study.
People might look down on her.

I don't think studying is for everyone.
Not everyone can get--

She should study for her own good.

That's enough.

Getting good grades
doesn't guarantee success.

The best a doctor's son
can be is a doctor.

I already have a hospital full of them.

Look at her. She's a high school graduate.

But she can talk back to me
because she married my son.

Ma'am.

You are the first client
I'm showing our new line.

-Good.
-Feel the fabric.

Are you all right?

Delete that.

Delete it.

Are you okay, Li-sa?

Gosh.

You're Ju-yeong, right?

Where do you live?

Does your leg hurt a lot?
Should I ask your uncle to take a look?

I'm fine.

The competition is next month.

I'll do something else if I can't.

You already changed it three times.

You should try the best you can.

Li-sa is good at drawing too.

I heard you were
aspiring to be a director.

Yes. I'll apply
to Taerim High School of Arts too.

For photography and video.

I'm filming Li-sa preparing
for her performance test for my portfolio.

You won't get extra points for filming me.

Other kids' portfolios will be so boring.

I'll film someone people want to watch.
And that's you.

You must be happy
to have found your passion early on.

I didn't know
what I wanted to do up until last year.

But Mimi helped me.

She said people like me
should eliminate my options first

before finding my passion.

Eliminate your options?

Yes.

I eliminated the things
I couldn't do even if I wanted to.

And then I eliminated
the things I could do but didn't want to.

And I ended up with only this.

I tried it but as Ms. Gu said--

Are you nuts? Do you have a death wish?

Li-sa!

I'll buy you the same phone.

This model's been discontinued.

Any model on the market will do.
They're all better than this.

Okay. I'll call you as soon
as I find a decent one.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. Wait.

I think Li-sa is being sensitive
because she hurt her leg.

Please take a cab.

I'm okay. It's because
I brought up Mimi first.

To me, she was a really good teacher.

You're grounded unless it's for lessons.

-Why?
-Do you have to ask?

We didn't fight.

She'll come crawling back to me tomorrow
because she needs me.

Even so, she's your friend.

I can be mean to her. It's okay.

How can you say that?

No one deserves to be treated like that.

-She does! She doesn't have a mom!
-Li-sa!

Because your wife assaulted the teacher,

we can't suspend her
on the grounds of violence.

With this cause, the disciplinary action
will be in her record for ten years.

So she won't be able to teach anywhere.

Of course, dismissing her
would damage her career the most.

But if we take it that far,

Ms. Gu might file an appeal
to review the case.

If she does, it'll be a huge scandal.

That's not the point.
Don't you think this is a cowardly move?

Someone who was worried about the school

gave me a heads-up
about the possible mishap.

THE TEACHER IS TO BE DISMISSED

I understand. You can all go now.

We should take care of this right away

so we can file for approval next month
and won't be held responsible.

Since people might
misunderstand it as retaliation,

it won't hurt to be careful.

I'm sure Mr. An will review it thoroughly.

Well, all right then.

Did you come here alone?

People come here to fish.
So you can't take home what you catch.

And you can only cook food
at the snack bar.

Put your trash here. And leave the bag.

You need to pay 30,000 won upfront.
10,000 won is the deposit.

First-timer?

Yes. I heard fishing is good
for clearing your head.

That's why a lot of people
come here alone.

And more young people are starting
to fish these days.

It must be those TV shows, right?

It might be you, the kind owner.

First-timers usually don't know
that I'm the owner here.

They always look for
a husband that I don't even have.

I see.

This place is huge.

It must be hard
to maintain this place alone.

I guess.

I'll let you have
your peace and quiet now.

Let me know if you need anything.

Hello, Ms. Jeong.

Ho-su's grandmother came
and picked him up just now.

Thank you, Hui-ju. Thanks to you,
the incident at school will be sorted out.

I'll be more careful,
so I don't make the same mistake again.

Thank you so much.

You've arrived at your destination.

I didn't know you called.

My phone died
right after I sent you the text message.

I was by the river today,
so I still feel a little chilly.

Are you sure you don't want any?
The food here is really good.

Thank you again, Hui-ju.

-Thanks to you--
-It wasn't me.

Whatever the school decided,
I had nothing to do with it.

You might be a good teacher
to some students.

But Li-sa and I feel
uncomfortable around you.

-I--
-So…

don't thank me.

This will be the last time we meet.
So I wanted to tell you this in person,

not over the phone.

So that you won't get the wrong idea.

I also had something
to tell you in person.

It's about Woo-jae.

He sends his regards to you.

What are you doing?

Why are you packing?

-That's enough!
-Stop it.

Stop it!

Gosh.

Are you out of your mind? Are you nuts?

Stop acting like a fool.

Am I the only fool here?

No.

No.

So let's stop fighting.

Give him to me.

If you want to leave, leave on your own.
You can't take Ho-su.

Seo Woo-jae!

Woo-jae…

really misses you.

Whenever I think of the good times
I've had with Woo-jae,

you were always there too.

We should get together some time.

Bullshit.

I didn't know you were married.

Is that a problem?

We're on the same side after all.

-Where is she?
-Who?

Where the hell is she?

I'm going to forgive him.

Because Woo-jae…

came back.

I'm late, aren't I?
