KOREAN YOUTH DANCE COMPETITION

ONE DAY AGO

Li-sa.

Was there anyone Li-sa was close with while practicing?

Anyone who might know where she went?

Yes. There was a girl who'd film all of her rehearsals.

-Her name was-- -Lee Ju-yeong?

Yes, I think so.

Did she come here today?

I think I saw her a while ago, but I don't know where she went.

I see. Thanks.

Honey.

I'll go look around more.

You draw someone because you love them.

And I think I saw him there.

HYEON-SEONG

I got a hold of Ju-yeong. They're together.

Don't worry.

Are you there?

Hui-ju. Where are you right now?

Hey! Wait up!

My goodness.

Wait up! Walk slowly!

Okay.

I thought I ran away best I could,

but I'm back to square one.

EPISODE 8 US, HERE AGAIN

-Are you hungry? -Yes.

I'll make some radish soup. It won't take long.

Where's Woo-jae?

He said he was busy and left early in the morning.

Without even telling me?

You were sound asleep, so he didn't want to wake you.

He wanted you to sleep in.

Then I'll sleep a bit more.

FAVORITES WOO-JAE

WOO-JAE

Ju-yeong, did you go to school?

I have a favor to ask.

I told you that place was private property.

Why did you go up there again?

To die?

Maybe I shouldn't have grabbed you.

-That's not why. -Then

did Hae-won tell you to keep an eye on me?

Of course not.

I had no idea you'd be there.

So it's just another coincidence?

Or maybe not.

I did think that maybe

I would run into you there.

If it was because of what I said yesterday…

I hope you will be happy this time.

You want us to be happy this time?

Then were we unhappy before?

Don't take it to heart.

To be frank, I don't care much how you two live.

Even now.

I'm more worried about myself than my daughter who didn't come home.

We'll be running into each other often because of the project,

but I hope not like this.

Let's do a good job, Mr. Seo.

It was just a mistake. It's not a big deal.

It is a big deal.

I keep making the same mistake.

And that makes me anxious, so I keep falling.

Li-sa.

Don't let it get to you.

It means you'll get better if you work on it.

But you should be sorry for running away and worrying us.

Your mom couldn't sleep and left early in the morning to find you.

-She did? -Yes.

She went to Ju-yeong's house. Didn't you see her?

Li-sa.

To me, no one is more precious than you are.

That's all you need to know.

Let me go. You're drenched.

It may have seemed useless,

but look at how much they've grown.

I should make your mom some hangover soup with this.

I'll add a bunch of garlic.

When will she grow up?

You just can't give up on him, can you?

Fine. Do as you wish.

It's not like I can stop you from loving him.

LEE JU-YEONG SENT A PHOTO

Hae-won! Gu Hae-won!

DIRECTOR AN HYEON-SEONG

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Your phone was vibrating, but I couldn't find it.

Did you leave it here?

Right.

You have two phones? Why?

This is my work phone. I use this for work-related matters.

Did you get some sleep?

Yes. But I still feel under the weather. I should go.

Make sure you pick up Li-sa from her dance studio.

Okay.

-Bye. -Bye.

He's definitely cheating on you if he has two phones.

Could your ex

get me my husband's call records? I want to see if it's really for work.

I can ask him, but are you sure about this?

It's better to be certain than to torment myself with doubts.

What if he's really cheating?

What do you think? I'll turn a blind eye.

Then why bother looking into it?

Being uncertain and turning a blind eye are very different things.

I guess looking the other way lets it end as a fling.

You must protect your marriage until you grow old.

You have too much to lose if you get a divorce.

It can't be her, right?

The woman who came here last time. She seemed feisty.

Maybe she's taking revenge on you.

Right before her wedding?

What? Isn't she already married?

They didn't have a wedding yet.

Why would she have it now?

Maybe she's warning you.

"He's mine, so don't you dare touch him again."

Something like that.

That's so pointless. Why would I go through that hell again?

Hey.

Don't leave without telling me.

I didn't want to wake you.

I thought you ran away again.

I'm sorry.

Get some rest.

There's no point in holding onto him.

Doing that won't do you any good.

Abandon him and live your life.

But I can't abandon him.

Because I am…

the abandoned one here.

Ho-su, let's go home.

Thank you, Mother.

Sure. Massage my legs before you go if you're thankful.

My legs are swollen.

Where's Li-sa?

Hyeon-seong just picked her up from her dance studio.

How dare she run away from home?

She didn't. She told him she'd be sleeping over at her friend's.

How can you control her when you didn't receive proper discipline?

If you can't handle her, we'll just hire an expert.

The entrance exam is just around the corner, so she's sensitive.

All the more reason why you should hire an expert.

Only those who have no money argue that kids need their mother's touch.

That feels nice.

You sure are dexterous.

I'd rather have you massage me than call a masseuse.

We need to do what we're good at.

JEONG HUI-JU

Sir, be careful with that.

Have all these paintings been--

They were purchased at the beginning of the exhibition.

Some of the buyers wanted them sooner, so we already sent out a few yesterday.

Who bought that painting?

That's one of my favorites,

so I'm just curious.

What's with this awkwardness?

Let me.

Congratulations on the success of your exhibition.

It was unfortunate that I was in a rush.

But it went smoothly all thanks to you.

You know that your works will be hung

at Yangjin Group's new headquarters, right?

I'll make sure they're displayed in the best spots.

Thank you.

Maybe we can talk about this in private.

Silly me.

I wanted you to see some of Mr. Woo's works before meeting him.

Let me thank you again for accepting this offer for Mr. Seo's sake.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

I can't understand a thing he's saying.

You don't have to understand language to understand art.

It was selfish of me to steal your opportunity and pursue this.

I can wait.

I'm still young.

Ho-su.

Go to sleep.

I've always been a fan of Mr. Woo's work.

I'm not doing this for anyone or doing you a favor.

Mr. Woo will be meeting us there,

so let's all take my car.

I'll drop you off here again.

Okay.

This is Mr. Woo Jeong-hyo.

This is Ms. Jeong Hui-ju.

-And this is -Hello.

Mr. Seo Woo-jae.

Thank you for coming.

Shall we go inside?

-Okay. -Okay.

What do you think?

It's a pity that this place will be demolished after the exhibition.

That's the downside of architectural art.

It's different from other art.

Since they're built for use,

they're bound to wear down and disappear.

Besides, this place has been abandoned for too long.

To keep something for a long time, effort and sacrifice are needed.

You're right.

Now that I've grown older, I finally realize how hard it is

to protect what's already mine.

You're still very young though.

-Let's go. -Okay.

She's getting her car.

Ms. Lee left first to drive Mr. Woo.

I'll drop you off at the gallery.

TOP TEN BILLIARD HALL

FINAL NOTICE OF DEMOLITION

Gosh, it's so messy.

-Let's put one here. -Sure.

-Up here? -Over there.

My gosh!

Don't touch my property.

-Sir! Please calm down! -Leave.

-Sir! -Get away from here, you bastards!

-You're going to hurt someone! -Leave!

That's enough! Sir!

We've given you more than enough time.

You're the one who rejected all our offers.

You mean that chump change?

This area is pretty much dead.

Holding out here won't bring it back to life, will it?

Think of your daughter.

She's very talented.

Shouldn't you help her attend the school of her dreams?

That's exactly why I can't leave. If I leave, we'll die.

We'll all die!

Hold out here, and you'll also die.

TOP TEN BILLIARD HALL

We'll all die. We'll just all die.

Die!

Die!

If it feels stuffy, I'll turn off the heater.

You were dry coughing. It's cold out.

LEE JU-YEONG

Hey, Ju-yeong. I'm driving right now. What is it?

Ms. Gu, what should I do?

How did you know I was here?

Does that even matter right now?

What happened?

It's nothing.

How could you say that when you cut your forehead?

The CT scan came out fine.

He just needs to treat his wound.

Let's ask another doctor to treat me, not my sister.

I already did.

You need to be admitted for us to be at an advantage.

I should do that.

I won't settle with him until he accepts the compensation.

Rather, you should demand compensation from him.

He's at a disadvantage.

This is a special assault case since he hit you with a cue stick.

I'm fine. You can relax.

It's just a work-related matter,

and it's going well.

Honey, did you…

get hit on purpose?

I wasn't going to actually hit him.

I was just swinging it around,

but he approached me and got hit.

That still doesn't change the fact that you assaulted him.

But how could I sit still and watch them post those notices?

How could I?

Remember what you told me?

You said not to give up and that we had enough time.

So what is this sudden notice of demolition?

Does this make any sense to you? Of course not.

Take her to our house. She shouldn't be alone.

-What about you? -I can stay at the studio.

Go on.

Your call could not be made. After the tone…

Yes?

Ma'am, you have a visitor.

At this hour?

He's here to give you your bag.

Where's my bag?

He wants to give it to you himself.

You weren't picking up, so…

Ms. Lee gave me your address.

Here's your bag.

Thank you. Goodbye, then.

Wait.

I wasn't meaning to look, but…

Are these my sketches?

What?

They are, aren't they?

Of course not.

If that was the case, why would I have them?

Goodbye.

SECURITY

There was a visitor.

VISITOR NOTICE

What are you doing here without the girl?

She must've been tired. She's asleep.

Where have you been?

I went to give back Ms. Jeong's bag.

She had left it in the car, and you had a lot on your mind.

-At this hour? -I left it there.

At the maintenance office.

She had brought it with her to the site, so I thought she'd need it.

You seem to be quite concerned about her.

She provided me with a great opportunity.

And since we'll be working together, we'll have to…

You just need to fill this in. I'll take care of the rest.

MARRIAGE VOW

There will be no officiant.

They just read their vows nowadays.

What is it? Do you not want to?

No.

It's just all very sudden for me.

Can you give me some time?

I've waited way far too long.

You should yield to me this time.

TAERIM HOSPITAL

You know that Mr. Lee had no intention

of harming you.

Please settle and let him out.

He's Ju-yeong's sole guardian.

Didn't I already tell you that this was a losing game?

You shouldn't have given him false hope.

And you're responsible for turning him

into a fighter when he should've just taken the compensation.

You're the one who rushed the process.

Not everyone in the building consented to this.

Also, the tenants deserve some time even if the lessor consented--

Ms. Gu.

Make up your mind.

Either protect your family

or put up a useless fight for justice.

I shouldn't laugh.

But I can empathize with you.

You're willing to wreak havoc to protect something.

I know how that feels.

But sir,

don't corner those who have nowhere else to go.

My grandfather once told me this.

"Since trees are deeply rooted and can't flee,

they emit reeking smells or poison

to scare their enemies away."

Hey.

Did you not hear me?

Fine. What is it?

Look at you.

Not only are you a homewrecker, but you're brazen as well.

You should tell that to someone else.

We were just discussing school matters.

You should've discussed that at school.

You even came to his house, didn't you?

How shameless of you.

I've never done anything shameful.

How dare you talk back to me?

Hey. Did you grow up without any parents? Did you?

Yes. I never had impudent parents like you.

-Ms. Gu. -You're a lost cause, aren't you?

-You should go. -A lost cause?

You should watch what you say.

You should never be quick to judge someone like that.

Never. Got that?

How dare you talk back?

I'm not the lost cause here. It's--

What do you think you're doing?

Was pestering me not enough?

Mother, go inside. People are watching.

Why do you want her to leave? Scared of what I'll say?

No, it's a waste of time.

No matter what you do, nothing will change.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize!

Don't apologize!

-Let me go! -Mother, let's go.

Please, Hae-won.

Let me go!

This is exactly why I told you to change hospitals.

-Why did you apologize? -Hae-won.

You should've defended me.

Just because I acted like a crazy bitch doesn't mean I was wrong.

Did you not think that maybe I was the victim?

Then you should've said so instead of yelling.

I couldn't get through to them!

They couldn't understand me when I was being nice.

You weren't like this before.

Really?

I don't remember the person I used to be.

So tell me.

What was I like?

He's right, Mother.

She wanted him to settle yesterday's incident.

It's not what you think it is.

If that was the case, I would've caught on.

All men are bound to be seduced if a woman sets her mind to it.

I'm only saying this because of her attitude towards you.

You better be careful.

I'm absolutely sick and tired of affairs.

Your husband mainly used that phone to make international calls.

Really?

That's all that we know.

I'll text the call records to you, so check later.

Okay. Thanks.

MEAL AND DRINKS

RICE MEAL LUNCH SPECIALS

Hello.

What's wrong?

Did someone hit you?

-Does it show? -Who was it?

That guy you're seeing again?

No.

I wouldn't have waited for him if he were that kind of man.

Then was it…

that woman from before?

She's the one who hit me,

but I'm more upset with Woo-jae.

We tend to be more upset with those we are close with.

They say when a couple gets back together,

there's a higher chance that they'll break up again.

Come on. Statistics don't matter.

Those who are bound to break up are destined to do so.

Then there are those

who become more cautious and never break up again.

I wonder which one it'll be.

Aren't you seeing him again

so you can work things out?

No.

I'm talking about them, not me.

What?

When Woo-jae left me,

this is what I heard most about me.

"It was just a guy."

"She's a fool…

for letting a guy ruin her entire life."

"She must've done something wrong."

Those who don't know the story

gossip the most.

If they did, they could never do that.

You're right.

He may have just been "a guy" to them,

but to me, he was a friend, lover,

the world, and the universe.

I was the victim,

but they criticized me for being a fool.

That's so harsh.

So I hope

they'll go through what I've been through.

-Is it true? -What?

Did Ju-yeong's dad really do that?

Li-sa. I'm sorry, but you should stop hanging out with her for the time being.

Will he go to jail?

Nothing is certain yet.

What will happen to Ju-yeong?

She'll be staying with Ms. Gu, so don't worry about her.

I need to rest.

Dad.

What happened? Tell me.

Why won't you tell me?

I'm fine. Have you eaten dinner yet?

What? Don't change the subject.

AN HYEON-SEONG'S CALL RECORDS

INTERNATIONAL CALLS

Couples often fight while planning their wedding.

Exactly. They fight over the most trivial things.

Do you really have to have a wedding?

Not like you've had one before.

Anyway, men aren't attracted to clingy women.

They find independent ones more alluring.

Do you remember how you felt on your wedding day?

I was exhausted, and it was a hassle.

But you should try it out to realize that it's nothing special.

See? He has experience and says it's nothing special.

I'm just saying,

married life isn't all about some magnificent love or happiness.

It's about sticking with each other through thick and thin.

That's what I mean.

Fine, you're all better than me.

Like I know anything.

You'll be a part of it. I can't do it alone.

First, get a nice outfit.

No. I hate hanbok.

The stiff shoulders make my neck look short.

Then you can wear a dress too.

A dress?

It won't be formal, so wear whatever you want.

Gosh, are you serious? Can I really do that?

I'd love that.

I heard there was a ruckus at the hospital.

My father only cheated once. Just once.

And you know what my mother did, right?

He lived like her slave for decades.

When he retired, he said he'd done enough and asked for a divorce.

I empathized with him. He really did enough.

But she didn't budge an inch.

He lived like a prisoner until his last breath.

I guess the wound of betrayal lasts a lifetime.

Why are you bringing that up here?

My mom will never condone cheating

even if it's her own son, so don't worry.

I don't. I trust Hyeon-seong.

Don't be so sure, though.

After all, we even lie in our diaries.

I'm sorry. Your measurements changed, so I had to adjust them.

I'm fine.

Goodness.

Look at the quality of these clothes. For heaven's sake.

Oh, my. It's that crazy bitch from before.

Hello, Dr. An. What a surprise running into you here.

It is. What brings you here?

I heard Ms. Jeong gets her dresses fitted here.

I loved the outfit she wore for her exhibition.

So I came to get a dress here for a special occasion.

Can I have a cup of tea, please?

What kind of special--

Take out all the pins.

I'm sorry.

After yesterday's commotion, you still want my blessing?

Please don't take to heart what happened that day.

I can forgive you for slapping my face.

But not for stabbing me in the back.

I want to be like you, Hui-ju.

What?

I wondered how you could pretend…

No, live as if nothing ever happened.

I gave it some thought.

You just have to let go of the guilt.

Once you let go of that guilt and become unapologetic,

you become shameless.

Just like you.

Please come.

In Ireland?

His foundation has an overseas business department,

and all the numbers were from there.

What if he has a mistress in Ireland?

International lovers do exist.

Call the number and check for yourself.

You came all the way here to tell me that?

That and something else.

What's her deal? We barely know each other.

She gave this to me in person,

and I couldn't help but wonder why she was going that far.

She gave one to me too.

What a lunatic. Are you going?

What if she invited

your friends instead of hers out of vengeance?

She dreamed of this wedding, so I doubt she'd want to ruin it.

That's true.

Still, you should be on your toes

if you want to keep all of this.

COMPLAINT LETTER PLAINTIFF: LEE IL-SEONG

We're going to argue

that his billiard hall isn't included on the school site.

Then you'll have to measure the area once again.

Ms. Gu.

Hae-won.

Strictly speaking, it's not even a part of the school.

It'll be a part of the gallery.

Why waste your energy on this?

If we lose, we'll appeal.

At least that'll help us buy some time.

Fine. If the compensation is the problem, we can renegotiate--

Let him out first.

He may be a mess,

but Ju-yeong still needs a guardian.

Please.

And please tell Hui-ju I said thanks.

I'm truly grateful

that she decided to work with Woo-jae on the project.

Ms. Lee proposed the offer to your wife first.

It was Mr. Woo's third collaboration with Hwain Gallery.

She was also the one who recommended Mr. Seo.

I'm sure your wife was pressured into accepting the offer.

Will he be here soon?

Yes, sir.

Among the critics who disapprove of Ms. Lee's success,

he's the most influential one.

Welcome. It's nice to meet you.

The gallery sugarcoats rookie artists and help them gain fame?

I'm sure that can't always be in the artists' best interest.

You can just state the facts.

That'll be enough.

"FABRICATED" ROOKIE ARTISTS IN THE ART COMMUNITY

Didn't you say Mr. Seo was well-received among the critics?

How could they bash a project that has yet to be launched?

This is a problem.

Park Jae-gwan is the operation director of Korea Art Week

and the editor of ARTicle,

the most influential journal among art collectors.

For such a powerful journal to dedicate an entire page

to criticize a rookie artist must mean that they're very much interested in him.

"An exhibition by one of the top art galleries

alongside a popular artist…"

This must be me.

"And an architect who received an outstanding award."

They're just envious.

They're just criticizing us because they're jealous.

They can only be so quick to judge

because they've never created art themselves.

Am I late?

Not at all. We just came early. Have a seat, Mr. Seo.

Here.

What terrible weather.

You're right. It's still very windy.

Please excuse me.

It was an accident.

There's nothing we can do about natural disasters.

That's okay. It's not like accidents happen with a warning.

I planted that tree.

This used to be my father's studio.

It's my only inheritance.

There used to be a very old tree in its place.

But when I was young, it was struck by lightning.

That was the first time I'd seen my father cry.

But why are you smiling?

I was happy to know

that he could cry too.

That's why I planted a new tree in the same spot.

But I can't believe it died as well.

Maybe you picked the wrong tree.

Sorry?

That's a Chinese lacquer tree.

Unlike others, Chinese lacquer trees don't become magnificent as they age.

The branches become thin,

and they wither away.

Perhaps it's best for them

to meet their fate before they turn out that way.

But their sap leaves behind beautiful works of art.

They're quite fascinating.

What is it?

So this is how you sound

when you're not upset.

You have a lovely voice.

Why are you staring at me?

Because you're fascinating.

Do you know you frown instead of scratching them when your eyes are itchy?

You touch your ears if you're not happy with your work.

And your lips swell when you're tired.

Stop teasing me. Last time…

When I said you were beautiful?

I meant it.

Don't you know I'm married?

So?

Being married or having kids

doesn't affect your beauty.

It all disappears with age. It becomes useless.

Beauty doesn't disappear.

It just changes.

I should get going.

Wait.

Thank you for what you said back there.

I was going to just ignore what critics say.

But it wasn't that easy.

Your words were comforting.

It felt like you were defending me.

INCOMING, OUTGOING CALLS

CUSTOMER NAME: AN HYEON-SEONG

This is the Ireland Korean Association.

Thankfully, he wasn't having an affair.

However…

"A long river was flowing below the cliff."

"The rushing river pierced through the farmland."

"It glistened underneath the sunlight."

"The mountains in the sky…"

Though alive, I think of the world as hell.

To me, hell is…

not being able to trust the person that I should the most.

CLOSED ON MONDAYS

This has to be photoshopped.

Where in the world are they?

-Hey. -You're so pretty.

I thought it was ridiculous to have the wedding now.

But it sure makes me happy to see you in a wedding dress.

This must be why people have weddings.

We should

hold a party when we go back.

Goodness. Dad.

You shouldn't cry on such a happy day. Don't be silly.

Why are you dressed so immaturely?

It's not your wedding.

Don't I still look pretty?

MARRIAGE VOW

You should get changed now.

You must not be interested in what I know.

I, GU HAE-WON, TAKE THEE, SEO WOO-JAE, TO BE MY WEDDED HUSBAND…

I wanted to display my misfortune.

I wanted everyone to know

what I lost

and to whom.

So you came to my wedding after all.

I ran away because I thought I would cause trouble.

Find out what those two are caught up in.

What did you talk about with my husband?

Now you're interested?

Give me your phone.

Too bad. It could have been interesting.

Was it a good thing for me to come back?

I want to see you.

We don't have to hide like this over there.

Why do we have to hide?

You lied to me.

Do you

remember?
