Original subtitles

Each day felt special and warm

that winter.

And at the end of it, Woo-jae disappeared.

What about me made him choose to leave?

What did I do wrong?

Why did I think

I was to blame all those years?

I'm sorry.

FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION BY JEONG HUI-JU

EPISODE 4 WHAT SHOULDN'T BE LOVED

Woo-jae

really misses you.

I thought you two

had broken up.

You're right.

I should've broken up when you told me to.

I think I turned out this way

because of him.

He totally ruined me.

What are you--

Had I known the reason why he left me…

Had I known where and what he was doing,

I wouldn't have been in this much pain.

I told myself I'd never forgive him.

I made a promise to myself God knows how many times.

But having resenting him for all those years…

It's been unbearable.

Forgiving him seems easier.

So I'm going to forgive him.

Because Woo-jae

came back.

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

you were always there too.

We should all get together soon.

-Actually, he's-- -No.

I don't understand.

Even married couples get over each other

once they divorce.

You only dated him briefly years ago,

and he dumped you coldheartedly at that.

But you haven't gotten over him resenting him all these years?

I don't know how to feel about that.

I had my reasons.

Right. You were always quick to justify.

-I-- -If you're trying

to justify assaulting Li-sa

by giving excuses about your personal misfortunes,

it's no use.

Whatever your reasons are, it doesn't change the fact that you hurt her.

Let's not meet ever again.

Am I the only fool here?

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

She should've

heard me out.

Hey.

Hi.

Hey.

Why were you sleeping there?

He wouldn't go to bed. It wasn't easy tucking him in.

Goodness.

What did you do today?

I was preparing for the exhibition.

It must be tiring working until late.

LEE JU-YEONG

Ms. Gu, here's the video.

Doesn't it look real?

Well, we're not making anything from scratch.

What do I need to do next?

Isn't it a bit too much to have a bottle by yourself?

I'm expecting someone.

Another glass, please.

Because Woo-jae came back.

Woo-jae really misses you.

Bullshit.

Li-sa, let's go.

Do you know what this is?

-What? -This flower.

That's a flower?

What? You don't know either?

When we were living there…

Where?

That place.

You were there too.

You were. I'm sure of it.

What was this flower called again?

Heath.

These wildflowers

bloom once a year in the wilderness.

Isn't it amazing?

Mom, isn't this pretty?

Li-sa, stay here.

Pull over.

I'll drive you to the school gate.

I don't want others to see us together.

By the way, where were you yesterday?

-What? -Last night.

Mom was in her studio. Where were you?

Well…

You're late.

No, I'm good. I drove here.

What a shame. You're paying for this bottle.

I didn't know you were married.

You were born on April 10, 1990, and are married to Seo Woo-jae.

Am I right?

Is that a problem?

Hold on.

Why are you even interested in my personal life?

I'm not interested in you.

But I am interested

in your husband.

Where have you

hidden him?

Hidden?

That's rich coming from you.

Does she know

what kind of person her husband is?

Probably not.

She'd have left if she did.

How have you endured it knowing everything?

You've decided to sweep everything under the rug

and believe you can still keep living as a good husband and father.

Is that arrogance

or just a delusion?

If you don't stop, I swear…

I'm done.

Why bother arguing when we're both miserable?

You don't know me enough to peg me as a miserable person.

Maybe you're not.

Where is Woo-jae?

What'll you do with him if I tell you?

Does Hui-ju know?

I'm not sure if it's a good thing,

but she refused to hear me out.

Why don't you just drink? I think we'll be here for a while.

PUBLISHING CONTRACT

We haven't published a fourth-edition essay in a long time.

Are you working on your next one?

You should.

I thought of what our readers would want to read about,

and I'm stuck.

Of course, they want to hear about your story.

Really?

I doubt they want to hear about how I went from rags to riches

by marrying a wealthy man.

I'm aware of it. I know people gossip about me.

And I won't deny it.

You've made it this far because you're good.

You have so many fans who love your paintings.

And I have my husband to thank for that, at least partially.

I was able to solely focus on my work

unlike others who struggled to make ends meet.

So I doubt any advice or comforting words from me will mean anything to them.

It'd be nice to share those honest thoughts.

I should just write them in my journal.

Then did you ever have a painful--

No, I don't like bringing up the past.

I like where I am now.

We'll hire eight new teachers for the major courses within this year.

The Office of Education approved it.

Three are internally-selected, and we'll hire the rest this month.

What about the general course teachers?

We can't dismiss them due to the teachers' rights.

We're considering transferring them

to schools under our foundation or sending them to other schools.

In a year or two, we'll need more teachers.

So let's have them come back after a year.

Yes, sir.

Form a school personnel committee.

And make sure they all sign the Declaration of Ethical Conduct Form.

I believe Mr. Lee Hyeong-gi from Taerim Foundation will--

The medical foundation has nothing to do with our school.

-Please take care of it yourself. -Yes, sir.

And leave out anyone who was selected through connections.

But sir, the foundation has already--

The internally-selected teachers could become a problem.

Please relay this message to Mr. Lee.

But…

You may leave.

Have the residents been signing

the consent forms?

Yes, sir.

This region is commercially depressed.

So they're open to moving

or switching their line of work if the compensation is enough.

But some are still against it.

How about some coffee?

I look forward to learning a lot from you.

How do you have such decisiveness and good judgment?

They come from experience.

-Right. -In other words, you're talented.

Not at all. I've worked hard to get this far.

Hello.

Let me.

I'll wrap it up then.

-Let's go. -Okay.

-Drink on your way. -Okay.

Hey, I thought we were going somewhere nice, not here.

This hospital's coffee tastes the best. I wonder why.

You're right.

Gossiping and coffee go well with each other.

Seeing even the wealthy die eventually makes you

feel a bit better about cleaning up after them.

You're right.

Seeing others suffer is so entertaining.

I only stick around

because it's so entertaining to see you grovel in front of Ms. Park.

-Has she changed at all? -What do you think?

How terrifying.

Hang in there.

She'll end up in there soon.

I heard their beef pâté is scrumptious,

but they're always fully booked.

You're the best.

And here's what you asked for.

He'll be back in Seoul tomorrow.

I told him I'd give you his number, so send him a text first.

We must've had good connections when he was a cop,

seeing how he always gets the job done.

Thanks.

I should thank you.

While I was at it,

I convinced him to come fishing again.

Why did you even break up? You guys were doing great.

It's simple. We didn't love each other enough to endure everything.

Are you seriously going to leave like this?

I haven't been out in ages, so I have many errands to run.

-Did you call a cab? -I did.

How's Ho-su? Is he more attached to you?

Not at all.

He's different from kids his age.

He loves his grandma more than me.

At times, I'm afraid that he'll choose her over me.

Other times, I wonder if I truly love him.

And that thought scares me more than anything.

Of course you love him.

The fact that you crave his love and are afraid of losing him

proves that you love him.

Don't doubt yourself. Okay?

My cab's here.

-Bye. -Bye.

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

She looks like one of my customers.

Your customer?

Is it one of your regulars?

No, she just left a strong impression.

-Bye. -Bye.

-I'll call you. -Okay.

Right.

Rheumatism?

Apparently, my immune system fails to recognize my own body

and ends up attacking it.

It's a chronic disease, so you must take good care of it.

It must've been painful.

At times, pain isn't that bad.

When you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night…

Have you ever felt that way?

Your limbs feel so stiff that you can't even move.

You're not aware of your surroundings and wonder if you're dead.

That's a symptom of rheumatism.

Suddenly, you feel a sharp pain

and realize that you're not dead after all.

Then you can breathe again.

You feel this pleasure--

It's foolish to enjoy the pain.

Put your arm down.

You're right.

I am a fool.

I won't deny that.

But I'm not evil enough to enjoy seeing others suffer.

I'm regretting what I did…

to Li-sa.

Can you help me meet with her again?

I haven't been able to see her

since that incident because her parents wouldn't let me.

I have no ulterior motive.

You told me I should apologize to her sincerely.

Yes, you should. Before it's too late.

I will.

So that

she knows how to apologize when she does something wrong.

NEUROSURGERY DR. AN MIN-SEO

My afternoon shift has started. If it's not urgent…

Were you aware of it?

The children of the hospital directors who favor you…

Did you know I jumped through hoops to get them into the art school?

But it all went down the drain.

I oversee all the legal teams in our foundation.

But your brother considered his school separate.

You know I'm not well-versed in that area.

Exactly.

Your stupidity is what makes me look like a fool.

Are you a doormat?

Are you going to waste your life slaving away for that money-grubbing family?

That's my family you're talking about.

-How could you say-- -Exactly.

Why aren't you sly like them?

You take after your father

and only know how to treat patients.

Right?

Right?

Doctor An, your patients are waiting for you.

I'm the one you'll spend your remaining life with, not them.

Got that?

Don't be content with your position here.

Climb up the ladder.

Come in.

Hello.

Let's see.

You've gotten much better.

Thank you.

Thanks to your help, I avoided disciplinary actions.

The more generous Taerim is, the better the image and value it'll have.

LAWYER LEE HYEONG-GI

MS. GU HAE-WON HAS SENT A VIDEO

I'll be glad to help again.

I trust that you'll get me rehired.

Turn the handle smoothly

so you won't spill anything.

This is much easier.

-Right? -Yes.

Wash the portafilter well, or it'll look like your face.

Come on.

We have a customer.

I can take a break in five minutes.

One cup of coffee, please.

I've never gotten a brand-new phone before.

I've always used secondhand or thrown-out ones.

Your dad never bought you one?

What does he do for a living?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Aren't all dads like that?

You never know what they're up to, and they always drink at home.

I don't have a mom, so don't ask.

RESTORING DATA

Excuse me.

-It's on me. -Thank you.

Does he know as well?

-Know what? -That you don't have a mom.

Don't open up to everyone just because they're friendly to you.

-What? -About how you don't have a mom

or any money. Or about your dad drinking every day

and how that makes you feel lonely. Things like that.

Why not?

Because you'll look vulnerable.

They can pretend to worry about you and easily win you over.

What's wrong with that? They're concerned about me.

Because it's terrifying

when those people change.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

How would you know?

You have a husband and are well-off.

Because there was a time

when I had no husband or money and only a mom who'd drink every day.

I'll clean it up.

Thank you for the phone.

What about this phone?

You can keep it.

Check it when you're bored.

LI-SA'S TUTOR

Hello, ma'am.

Li-sa isn't home yet, so we should postpone today's class.

It rings, but she's not picking up. I think she's doing it on purpose.

Where is she?

Who?

Your art teacher. She was just here with you.

Where did she go?

Where the hell is she?

You skipped your tutoring class and didn't answer your phone.

-What were you doing with-- -What about you?

Why did you meet with Ju-yeong behind my back?

-At the cafe this afternoon-- -I told you

that she's a leech.

-It was because you-- -I told you

she sponges off others to get what she needs!

So why won't you listen to me?

Li-sa.

An Li-sa!

Why won't you answer me?

What were you doing with--

She apologized.

That's it? Did she say anything else?

What else--

What else does she need to say other than that she's sorry?

Then why would she come all the way here to see you alone?

Because she wanted to apologize for what she'd done.

What?

Do you think she hit me because I did something wrong?

Do you believe that lunatic?

GAMJATANG

I'd like what she's having. No side dishes, please.

There are no empty tables.

But others will think that we're eating together.

Is that bad?

I don't mind.

But I don't want that woman from before to get the wrong idea.

No, she won't be coming here today.

An older girlfriend?

I don't think she's your mom.

Neither.

-Then who is she? -What about you?

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

I have a husband.

BUS STOP

Are you going home?

Your bus.

It broke down at the three-way intersection.

I see.

It'll take some time.

Hop in. We're going in the same direction.

I'll let you know that I don't usually hop

into a stranger's car.

But today, I'm a bit exhausted.

But I'm not a stranger.

That's true.

That's why you should be more cautious.

Those around you can be

even more dangerous.

I have some stuff to drop off at the bar.

Can I drop you off here?

Sure.

Oh, right. Look.

Don't tell her that you saw me today.

-What? -My daughter, Hae-won.

Don't tell her.

Okay.

And

thank you.

How long have you been waiting? Hold on.

RICE MEAL

Give me one minute.

Don't like my mom.

I don't.

Then why give her a ride?

Oh, that? You see,

the bus broke down at the three-way intersection.

She likes handsome men.

They can be scumbags as long as they're good-looking.

But you're…

Okay.

I'll ignore her from now on.

You seem like a decent guy. That's why.

My mom has gone through some stuff.

People like her tend to torment those around them.

That's a relief.

There are many who torment others for no apparent reason.

You wouldn't know why no matter how many times you wondered

why they're doing it.

Anyway, I warned you.

What? Where are you going?

Didn't you come here to drink?

But I'm not a decent guy.

I believe you. I'm sorry.

If that teacher approaches you again,

then tell me--

I'm going to rinse off now. Get out.

I just did that out of worry

that she'd hurt you again.

I'm sorry for not telling you that I was meeting--

Get out.

Li-sa, no one can steal me from you. You do know that, right?

I had no other intentions.

I just wanted

to buy some time.

Born on October 24, 1985.

The resident registration number is 152831.

His name is Seo Woo-jae.

Correct. Woo-jae.

One more person, please.

Gu Hae-won, born on April 10.

Correct.

Thank you.

Hello.

Where's Min-seo?

She had surgery scheduled this morning.

She should look after her body before tending to her patients.

Ho-su.

Ho-su, you shouldn't draw on this.

-Give that back. -You have your book.

-Read this. -Hey.

Don't worry about my grandson, and take care of your family.

Your mom called and thanked me.

Must I continue putting up with this?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Of course you didn't know. Again.

So Hyeon-seong did it by himself?

Her business fails every single time, and yet, he keeps giving her money.

That's an illness.

She shamelessly asks for money and whines about how hard she works.

Tell her to just stay home. I'm sure you give her an allowance.

-Mother. -Am I wrong?

You should stop too.

You've done more than enough for your poor mother.

Most people exchange loyalty for money, but she…

Goodness, my puppy. Come here.

Goodness.

Let's see.

I'm sure she didn't say that out of spite.

I'd rather she did, to be honest.

Sorry?

It's more appalling if she's saying such awful things

with no spite.

Don't mind me. I just forgot something.

You should've called.

-It's my phone that I forgot. -I see.

It must look realistic.

That's what's most important.

BILLIARD HALL

PROTECT OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS

What is it?

I was wondering if you were still open.

I heard this place is getting sold.

Who the hell said that? You should leave.

Are you Lee Ju-yeong's father?

What the hell are you talking about?

BILLIARD HALL

Ms. Gu.

So you're telling me that if I hold out and don't sign this,

the school plan may fall through?

This entire building will be cleaned up.

It's not part of the school region,

but if any of the stores aren't student-friendly, it won't happen.

For example, this billiard hall?

Correct.

I wouldn't be able to move out even if I wanted to.

I put this house up as collateral for this place.

How could I possibly leave without a premium?

That's why you should get compensation.

However, you may end up with nothing if you get too greedy and it's canceled.

So you must listen to me and sign it after a negotiation.

I trust you.

If I get compensated,

I'll treat you--

You should treat Ju-yeong, not me.

Right. Ju-yeong.

Art school will be pricey

even if she receives government benefits.

That's fine

as long as you're her teacher.

That's my wish as well.

So you should listen to me carefully

and never be rash.

Be patient and look at the big picture.

Okay. I'll do that.

Goodbye.

Did we have to meet here of all places?

I felt like we should.

Six months ago, they moved into a place.

But I don't know if they're actually living there.

It's not that far, so you can go check yourself if you want.

Okay.

Is Dong-mi doing well?

Yes.

HOUSEHOLD REGISTER SELF: SEO WOO-JAE, WIFE: GU HAE-WON

CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE SEO WOO-JAE, GU HAE-WON

Marriage?

We're not having a wedding. We're just registering our marriage.

They mean the same thing.

There are many ways for you two to study abroad together.

You're too young to get married.

I found out that there are many benefits for married couples.

What benefit do you need

when you passed the language exam and got admitted?

What did he do while you were studying German and preparing your portfolio?

Does he even want to go?

If you do go, he'll have to study for the entrance exam,

and you'll have to do part-time jobs to make ends meet.

Hui-ju.

You'll have to provide for someone else while studying abroad.

How will you--

You know I have good stamina.

Marriage isn't a dream.

It's your only chance to dramatically turn your life around.

Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it'll work for me.

I know how you feel.

But you really don't need to worry.

I'm going to be happy.

Are you here to see the house?

Someone else came by a few days ago.

It's a good apartment.

I see.

Let's begin the shoot.

Look at the camera. One, two.

Good work.

Can I talk to the bride?

I'll take some shots of the bride.

Okay. Here we go.

Okay. One, two.

One, two.

Good.

Put your shoulder a bit forward. Good.

Here we go. One, two.

Move.

Is this what you wanted?

Look at me.

Do you want me to get married like you?

So that we can all be miserable?

Seeing how you came this far, you don't want to end it with her either.

You're wrong. I only came because you asked me to.

If you don't want me to, I won't.

Just say the word.

Tell me to stop.

Here we go. One, two.

-Okay. You're done. -Thank you.

Are you done?

It was so awkward.

I didn't know smiling was so difficult. My face feels stiff.

You should at least have some photos, right? You did well.

I don't think I can do this twice.

You look so gorgeous.

You're literally shining.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

Hey, Woo-jae.

I'm going to be happy.

Who are you kidding?

Am I interrupting?

I'm kind of stuck today.

What's up?

I was organizing some clothes in the bedroom,

and this fell out of your purse.

I was wondering what it was.

Oh, right. I told you before.

Li-sa threw and broke Ju-yeong's phone.

But why do you have it?

She's really something. I bought her a new phone,

and she told me to go through it if I got bored. There was nothing.

There was something.

Did you already see this?

Yes.

Don't get the wrong idea. Ms. Gu and I--

I don't.

You look really irritated in that video.

Others may get the wrong idea, but not me.

Should I be relieved or frightened?

Maybe it's for the better. Be careful not to cause any misunderstandings.

By the way, I wonder why she took that.

Maybe Ms. Gu told her to.

The teacher

who visited Ju-yeong's and counseled her several times

was Gu Hae-won.

People who aren't well-off

tend to get attached to teachers who give them attention.

Maybe Ju-yeong's the one who told her where Li-sa's dance studio is.

What?

Ms. Gu came to her dance studio to apologize to her.

I was wondering how she found out.

There's definitely something going on between Ms. Gu and Ju-yeong.

I'll meet with Ju-yeong again--

No, focus on your exhibition. Leave this to me.

I don't want to cause a commotion until our school gets approved.

I'll take care of it.

This is under my jurisdiction now.

I'll let you be.

THE MEANING OF SILENCE, FROM DRAWING TO CARVING

THE MEANING OF SILENCE, FROM DRAWING TO CARVING

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

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

I'll introduce you during the reception.

Doesn't it leave a strong impression despite being bland?

I love it. I truly do.

You know, I used to prefer arts that were majestic and spectacular.

Ones that expressed anger towards violence in society

and strived to save mankind through art.

Back in college, I had a crush on a senior who studied sculpting.

This is what he said.

He didn't even like to see me smile.

He despised laziness.

He said wealthy women who did this as a hobby could never create art.

He loathed how poor he was

but also used it as a shield.

You must've liked him a lot.

It sounds like you're pining for him.

Back then, yes.

Back then, I believed pitying him

and torturing myself was considered sublime love.

I'm curious about his work. It must be so captivating.

He's dead. He was devastated by this world's lack of understanding.

And he destroyed all his work.

That's why I love your work.

Your purpose is clear,

yet the audience can make their own interpretations. I love that.

You should've written the testimonial for my exhibition.

I was turned away for being such a passionate fan.

Ma'am.

By her.

-This way. -Okay.

Watch your step.

This must be your first time attending a reception in a while.

The artist is someone I am taking extra care of.

This is his first exhibition, so he must be tense.

And he knows no one in Korea.

He was too sick to work on any for a while.

Please guide him well.

Sure.

-I see you put in a lot of effort. -Yes, a bit.

Sir.

I came without any attachments,

but why haven't you put anything aside?

Is this funny to you?

I'm sorry for leaving you all alone.

Does it look like I'm worried and nervous to you?

All of the things that I missed out on,

I'm going to make it the way it should have been.

-Hui-ju. -It's been a while.

How have you been?

Do you know me?

What are you playing at?

What is that you're trying to achieve?
