[April of 2000]

[Korean History]

[All women also have their first love.]

Why are you giving me this?

Why do you think?

It's because I like you.

Thank you, Ae-rin.

But I can't accept this.

-Why not? -I'll be on the national basketball team.

Every second counts for me.

I can't date girls now.

I'm sorry.

[He chose basketball over me.]

[But I even loved his passion for his dream.]

[I'll wait for you, Dae-young.]

Yes!

Well done.

What is this?

He said he didn't have time to date.

[I'll wait for you, Dae-young.]

Are you the transfer student, Jung Da-jung?

Yes.

Come out.

You'd better know your place now.

I'll stop here for today.

But you'd better watch your back.

Let's go.

-Ae-rin! -Are you okay?

Let go of me.

-Let go of me. -Let's go.

-I told you to behave. -It was there, right?

-It's not that... -You've gotten quite bold, haven't you?

Let's take her bag.

-No. Hold on. -Let go of it.

Sang-Hee.

-Hey. -What are you looking at?

-Are you looking down on us? -No.

We're not finished talking.

-Do you think this is a joke? -Please, stop.

-Give it to me. -That's right.

Hello, everyone.

-Who are you? -I'm...

-What's this? -Safety equipment.

Hold tight.

Hey, run!

Hey!

-My gosh. -Darn it.

Hey! Hold on.

Over here.

Those girls won't leave you alone.

Tell them to come at me. I'm not afraid

Oh, right. My backpack.

My mom's going to kill me.

Darn.

Are you afraid of your mom?

Yes.

Gosh, you.

[But before I knew it,]

[my rival became a dear friend to me.]

Hong Dae-young. Pass!

[I'm a proud alumnus of Baejin High.]

[Serim High School]

-Hey. -Hey.

-Hey. -Where are you going?

[Serim High School's Basketball genius, Hong Dae-young.]

Where are you going?

[Hong Dae-young]

Don't cry.

[That's how]

[my first love ended.]

[2012 Serim High School 20th Class Alumni Meeting]

It's been a while.

[11 years later]

I know.

It's Chu Ae-rin.

-Chu Ae-rin. -Hello.

Gosh, she came.

Ae-rin!

Jung Da-jung!

-It's so good to see you. -You look so pretty.

-It's so nice to see you. -It's good to see you too.

Ae-rin. It's so nice to see you. Where do you work these days?

Oh, me?

Here.

[Chu Ae-rin, Attorney]

-Tae Baek Law Firm. -Tae Baek Law Firm?

This place is really famous.

Really? I've been in New York, so I didn't realize it was so famous.

By the way, Jung Da-jung's beauty is still the best in the district.

If Da-jung's beauty is the best in the district,

then Dae-young's the most handsome man in the country.

That's all old news.

Dae-young and I have gotten old too.

Hey. When is Dae-young coming?

He should be here soon.

[Protect Hong Dae-young, The King Of The Basketball Team]

[Serim High School]

[I'll wait for you, Dae-young.]

It's not him.

I thought it was Dae-young.

Dae-young.

-What? -What? That's Dae-young?

That's Dae-young? Seriously?

-That's Dae-young? -Gosh.

Gosh, it's been such a long time!

[Seongjong Electronics Service Center]

-Gosh. -Why were you so late?

What's wrong with her?

-I have no idea. -How have you been?

I don't even have time to eat.

Eat up.

You insulted my memories.

Why did she pass out while drinking?

[My first love, who made my heart flutter back then,]

[Episode 4, The Boy We Loved Back Then]

[became a middle-aged man.]

[Episode 4, The Boy We Loved Back Then]

What's wrong with her?

[Guys who look like this are the type to cause trouble.]

[He might cause trouble soon.]

What was that?

Let go.

-Oh, my gosh. -What should we do?

Hey. Are you tired of living?

I kill anyone who hits me.

Is that so? Try killing me then.

Die!

-Stop. -Let go!

Let go!

How dare you, you jerk.

Put some strength into it, you jerk.

Stop it!

Who is this? Seo Ji-ho and Gu Ja-seong.

You punks. Follow me.

Follow me.

Hi.

How dare you punks get into a fight?

Why did you fight?

Right. You're not going to tell me?

Okay.

If you don't feel comfortable telling me,

let's tell your parents.

This jerk hit me

out of nowhere.

Out of nowhere?

Why did you hit him?

He told me not to put up with it.

What? Not to put up with it?

Who said that?

Who?

Was it a friend? Or is he older? Who told you that?

You punks.

Gosh. Kids grow up fighting.

I'll let their parents know.

Keep the basketball team in line.

It's always the basketball team.

I'm sorry, sir.

Come out, you guys.

Go.

[Teacher's Lounge]

It's fine. Raise your heads.

Everyone grows up fighting.

Go back to class and pay attention.

Go ahead.

Goodness.

Yes, sir.

Hi, Mr. Gu. It's Coach Choi.

Ja-seong has been causing

a lot of trouble in school these days.

[I'll pay more attention to him.]

I also need to have a meeting with you

regarding the starting lineup of the basketball team.

When are you free?

I'll visit you soon.

"I heard that JBC chose people based on their skills,"

[I'm going to change the channel if that lady comes on.]

"but I guess they like old ladies."

"I'm going to change the channel if that lady comes on."

"Tell the director to come out."

Director.

At least it got a lot of views.

That's the problem!

What good does it bring to JBC

to have a video like this go viral?

I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.

At least you know.

Let me say this again.

Make sure that old woman

can't last her probation period and walks out of here herself.

Yes, sir.

Don't you think the comments on Da-jung are too malicious?

[It's so shameless of you to come on TV as if nothing happened.]

It's too bad.

She probably thought she'd become a star from getting soaked,

but she's just getting hate comments.

This is why women must succeed before they get old.

Once you get old,

people will leave hate comments on whatever you do.

Ms. Kwon.

Still,

hate comments are better than no comments.

Da-jung! We were so worried for you.

We feel really bad about those hate comments.

You must be disheartened.

Disheartened? They all have a point.

Are you really okay?

What did the higher-ups say?

To restock the break room.

[JBC is also a victim.]

[How could they know she was a mother?]

[She should just stay home and raise her kids.]

[Who does she think she is? I don't like her at all.]

[Isn't she the best mother ever if she can do well at her job,]

[and raise her kids well?]

Si-a?

[I feel bad for the kids.]

[I would hate to have a mom like her.]

[Who are you to act like a saint?]

[Just worry about your own life.]

[It's so shameless of you to come on TV as if nothing happened.]

[She took responsibility for it.]

[I thought that was rather inspiring.]

Could this be Si-a?

[Si-a and Si-woo, are you two okay?]

[Is everything okay at school?]

[Mom]

Did you see his mom's video?

I'd be so embarrassed if it were my mom.

Did you see the clip?

-It's his mom. -Someone so lowly doesn't belong here.

If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to come to school.

Exactly. Unbelievable.

[Si-woo]

[It's all good.]

He's lying.

[Si-a]

[Everything is fine.]

She's lying too.

Hey, Gu Ja-sung.

I heard about it all.

So what?

I'm going to ignore it because it doesn't even deserve to be heard.

But

I can't ignore you insulting my mom.

Why you little...

Run that mouth of yours again if you dare.

Hey!

And one more thing,

if you lay a finger on Si-woo again,

you and I will get into some real trouble.

[Kid, look at you all grown. You can even cause trouble.]

Ice yourself with this.

I'm fine.

Your mother will worry about you if you go home

with a swollen face like that.

I'll do it.

[Are you okay?]

[Yes.]

[Come to the convenience store after.]

[All right.]

We're having a staff dinner tonight,

so wrap up whatever you're doing now.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Heo, what's the dinner for?

You can skip it if you have a problem.

Of course not.

If you have something else, you're allowed to miss it.

But Ms. Jung, you're required to attend,

so don't miss it.

-Sorry? -What?

Yes, I will attend.

Okay.

Why are you the only one who's required to attend?

Maybe it's a staff dinner to console her.

I doubt it.

Sorry.

Throw the water!

Throw the water!

Throw the water!

Throw the water!

I guess this is what they called her for.

I knew it. They wouldn't console her.

I thought this was an important dinner,

so I skipped my Chinese lesson for this.

Come on. She had a long day today.

Why don't we show her some support as her colleagues?

Throw the water!

Throw the water!

I will never throw water at another news anchor ever again!

Goodness.

I can't do it.

Come on.

Ms. Jung!

Can you imagine how bad he feels right now?

Just accept the apology by throwing some water

and be done with it.

Throw the water!

Throw the water!

Could we get it over with already? I'm so embarrassed.

Throw the water!

-Throw the water! -All right.

I'll do it now.

One,

two,

three!

Here you go.

Cheers to Seum!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Here you go.

Thank you for taking my difficult request, sir.

It's nothing.

Because of that video,

we get so many complaint calls

at the team's office.

Ms. Jung, thank you for agreeing to film the video.

-Here. -It's no problem.

People are scrutinizing her for being old and being a mother,

so this is a good chance for her to make a good impression, too.

She's probably thankful that you came up with this idea.

Aren't you?

Yes, of course.

I'm so happy that I came here to apologize,

but I also got a thank you!

If you're so thankful,

get us an exclusive interview with Ye Ji-hoon.

Of course we will!

Do you think you can do it?

Sure. That sounds good.

Great.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Hey, Ms. Kwon?

-Yes, Director? -Why are you sitting there?

Come and sit here.

Ms. Jung,

if you're done drinking, you can go.

Okay.

Here.

Meet Ms. Kwon Yu-mi, who got hired at JBC

as the top candidate this season.

Introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm Kwon Yu-mi, and I'm a new news anchor at JBC.

Gosh, congratulations.

You're quite young.

Can I ask her how old she is?

I'm 24.

I see. No wonder.

She has great skin.

This time, Ms. Kwon here will do

the exclusive interview with Mr. Ye.

I plan to assign her for his interviews from now on.

I thought it'd be nice to get to know each other.

I see. That sounds nice.

You guys look nice together too.

Well,

I want Ms. Jung Da-jung to do my interview.

Ms. Jung doesn't have a good reputation now.

You won't benefit in any way from getting mixed up with her.

That doesn't matter.

Instead of being interviewed by a mom,

you would look much better being interviewed by a young lady.

Gosh, I'm getting old,

so I'm more comfortable around moms.

Please, sir.

My goodness. You're so funny.

Then, let's settle that Ms. Jung will do his next interview.

-Okay. -Sure.

I guess it's bothering you a lot.

Kids are bound to stop.

Don't let them get to you.

How is that possible?

They were talking about my mom.

Are you worried about your mom?

If you are,

you should call her.

It'll make me cringe. What will I say to her?

You know,

tell her you were worried and ask her if she's okay.

Gosh.

Look at you.

For parents, hearing such words gives comfort to parents when things are tough.

Gosh. Whatever.

I'm leaving if you don't want to play basketball.

[Mom]

[Mom]

Hey, Si-woo.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing what? Tell me if you need anything.

That's not what I called.

I was wondering if you were okay.

What?

Did you call because you were worried about me?

Gosh, it's nothing like that.

Come on. I know that's why you called.

If you know that,

don't make me worry.

Okay.

But a phone call from you definitely got my spirits up.

When are you coming home?

I'm sorry. I'll be home late today. Go to bed early.

[Okay.]

Come home safely.

Okay. Thank you.

Your son has a big heart.

My gosh. Did you hear that?

I'm sorry.

You know, I have good hearing.

You don't have to apologize. You're embarrassing me.

You started it.

By the way, do you really want me to interview you?

Then do you think I lied that I was getting old for no reason?

Obviously, I'm still young.

Thank you.

You called yourself old to help a middle-aged woman.

If you're thanking me, I'll take that.

But

is that all?

But that will be the end.

I am grateful, but I can take care of myself.

I can take care of myself.

So don't do that next time.

Come here.

Hey, are you crying again?

I went to the zoo yesterday with my dad and saw elephants.

But you didn't see them.

You don't have a dad who will take you to the zoo.

♫ You don't have a dad ♫

Hey!

Stop bullying Ji-ho.

Si-a, who are you to stop us?

Are you his mom?

Or are you his girlfriend?

I told you I wouldn't let it slide if you picked on him again.

Let's go.

He doesn't have a dad, so that's what I said.

Why did you hit me, you brat?

Are you serious? You're dead meat.

You little...

Let go of me. Stop it!

Are you happy?

You got punched in the face.

Gosh.

I suddenly remembered when we were little.

You used to beat kids up because you wanted to help me.

I didn't beat up anyone.

Do you not really remember anything?

You were so scary.

Whatever.

[Healthy Boxed Meal]

Si-a, did you eat?

-No. -Really?

Hello.

Go Woo-young?

Do you move all these boxes by yourself?

Isn't it hard?

Not at all.

Si-a.

What?

[You're a student. If you need money, ask your parents.]

[Why are you trying to make money already?]

What is it?

[Let's be her friend. Be her friend.]

You

don't need money because you're in trouble, right?

Are you serious?

What trouble would I be in?

So you're not, right?

That's all I need to hear.

Hello.

Hey. You're here too, Ji-ho.

Is that your meal? Want me to buy it for you?

No, I'm good.

Okay. "Healthy Boxed Meal".

Do you need a bag?

It's yours.

I don't know why you're working here, but don't skip your meals.

Go straight home when you finish. Okay?

Hey, Woo-young!

What was that?

[Healthy Boxed Meal]

Must I try to make nice with your teacher for your sake?

If you mar my reputation again,

you won't be able to play basketball.

-I'm leaving. -Let me go with you.

Yu-mi, you know that I'm counting on you, right?

Yes. I'll do a good job.

Drink up.

Gosh. Bottoms up. Drink it up.

You can hold your liquor. Why don't you drink one more glass?

-Gosh. -Here.

Let's drink it up.

Gosh, those men.

Goodness. Director Moon and the general manager

seem like they are having a blast.

What was that?

Are you ruining the mood?

Don't you know that a mom is the best at lightening up the mood?

Goodness, I can't believe this woman.

All right. Let's get this party started.

You're not making a real bomb, right?

That's amazing.

If you think it's amazing, drink up.

Here. Drink up.

-Okay. Drink up. -Okay!

Let's go!

Drink up!

This is amazing.

One more!

Give me another glass.

Let's go!

-Oh, my. -This is great!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

She really does know how to take care of herself.

Be careful.

Right.

Goodness.

Goodness.

Director.

Sir, your taxi's here.

Get in.

What is this?

-You said you wanted to drink more. -I would love to,

but your wife keeps calling. Should I pick up?

No, don't.

That's too bad.

Then drink this and sober up as you go home.

Oh, my.

You're so sensible.

Goodbye. I won't go far.

You're so cool, Ms. Jung!

I love you!

I love you!

You were drinking quite a lot. Are you okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

I don't think you are.

Pardon?

[Life starts with meat and ends with meat.]

Was I wrong to take it off

when you wore it out on purpose?

How cute.

Pardon? I'm cute?

Not you,

the character behind you.

Oh, I see.

I like that character too.

I guess everyone likes it.

Yes.

It's

my favorite character.

Can you give me your number?

Pardon?

I always get the questions before an interview.

Oh, right.

["Anchor Jung Da-jung and Ye Ji-hoon's Interview While Getting Splashed"]

[It was nice that she went on with the interview.]

[She took responsibility for it. It was cool and good to see.]

[I agree. She took responsibility. I support her.]

[She took responsibility for it.]

[It was cool and good to see.]

[I agree. She took responsibility.]

[I support her.]

[Reply]

[I rewatched the video, and it was still cool.]

[Good luck, Jung Da-jung!]

[Post]

I've seen her somewhere.

[Craft Beer]

She got splashed with water.

Aren't you Anchorwoman Jung Da-jung?

Oh, right.

You must've had a drink.

We're going for a second round too. You should join us.

It'll be our treat.

Get home safely.

Why are you acting so stuck-up?

We said we'd treat you.

What are you doing?

Did you hit me?

You seem very drunk. You should go home.

What? Are you looking down on me?

I said are you looking down on me?

If you keep doing this,

I won't stand still.

You seem to have

a bit of a temper.

I warned you.

Warn? Okay.

Do what you want.

You should stop.

Who are you?

You should stop.

Who are you?

What a rude punk.

How dare you butt in?

Don't cause a scene and go your way.

You're a funny kid. You little...

Woo-young. Stop.

Hey. Did you see him hit me?

Call the police.

Okay.

Go ahead.

I'll sue you for sexual harassment too.

Do you see that security camera?

I hear security cameras these days even record sound.

Can a public figure be like this?

It'll be even better.

Since I'm a public figure, it'll be on the news.

Then your faces will appear on the news.

Will you be able to face your family?

Go ahead.

Let's just go.

Gosh.

I'm going easy on you.

What are you talking about?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

I told you I could go alone.

Those guys could show up again.

What are you doing here at this hour?

I came to meet someone.

So did you meet them?

Yes, I did.

Is that so?

But still, don't stay out too late.

What? Didn't you see earlier?

There are a lot of strange people out at night.

Gosh. Didn't you see me

chase those strange men away earlier?

We're here.

Woo-young. Wait a minute. I'll get you a taxi.

It's fine. I'm not a kid.

If you're not a kid,

then I'm not a middle-aged woman.

That's not it.

I can call a taxi on my own.

You should go in.

Okay. Get home safely.

Be strong.

What?

It was hard to achieve your dream.

so you shouldn't get hindered by things like this.

Don't worry about Si-a and Si-woo,

and focus on your work.

I'll take care of the kids at school.

You sound like an old man.

Thanks, Woo-young.

Don't mind

the hate comments.

People who are saying that you messed up because you got pregnant in school

are just saying that because it's not their business.

I think you're amazing

for being responsible.

It's

really nothing amazing.

It's what I have to do.

It's sad that people think that my kids are my mistakes.

I think they're my blessings.

I must be drunk.

I can't believe I'm saying this to a kid.

Go home now, Woo-young.

I actually...

What?

I...

Yes?

I...

You feel bad now because you brought up the hate comments, right?

I appreciate that you're concerned for me.

You don't have to feel bad, okay?

Here comes a cab!

Taxi!

Woo-young!

Hop in.

Bye!

[Proof of Resignation, Name: Hong Dae-young]

[I've been busy. I'm on a work trip.]

[I'm in Busan right now.]

Where's Ms. Jung?

Ms. Jung is

interviewing Ye Ji-hoon right now,

the one that Yu-mi was supposed to do.

I don't know if he just has weird taste,

or if Ms. Jung is clever.

She's very clever, indeed.

Ms. Lim is right.

You may get excited to get casting offers,

but that's all a fleeting moment.

Don't loosen up and end up having all of your shows stolen.

Protect what you have.

We'll start recording now.

Standby. Cue!

Welcome to "Baseball Hot Star Hot Interview".

I have Seum's hero, Ye Ji-hoon, with me here today.

Hello.

Hello, I'm Ye Ji-hoon.

You're once again

setting a record number of wins this season.

What's the secret to your consistent success?

I don't think there are any secrets...

I know!

I don't let things hurt,

or shake me up.

I think that's the secret to continue doing well.

The best pitcher is different, indeed.

I'll move onto the next question.

Hi. Oh, right, Ji-ho?

-Yes? -Who's on weekly class duties?

It's Si-a and Bo-bae.

Si-a and Bo-bae? I see.

Tell them to draw the dodgeball court lines nicely.

Yes, sir.

Are you zoning out?

Goodness.

All right, huddle up. Let's start class.

Let's go.

-Is everyone here? -Si-a!

What's wrong?

Si-a!

Si-a! Are you okay? Wake up.

-Hong Si-a! -What's wrong?

-Where's my phone? -Si-a! Wake up.

I'm going to call 911.

What do you think you're doing?

It's faster to run to the hospital right by the school!

You guys go ahead and play dodgeball.

Ji-ho, stay here.

Thank you so much for making time for the interview today.

That concludes today's "Baseball Hot Star Hot Interview".

Cut!

-Good work. -Good job.

That was amazing!

Watch this.

Did you see?

-That's amazing. -Oh my gosh.

-He just caught it like that. -He's so cool.

-It's incredible. -How did he do that?

Are you leaving now?

Yes.

Are you really okay?

I'm fine.

This is nothing.

That's good to hear. I thought...

Excuse me.

Il-kwon, what's up?

What? Si-a is at the hospital?

Okay. I'll head there now.

Is something wrong?

My daughter is ill.

-I have to get going. -Wait--

She usually never gets nervous,

but she seems nervous now. I'm worried.

It's a stomach spasm caused by stress.

You don't have to be worried.

It'll be fine as long as she de-stresses and gets some good rest.

She can leave after the IV drip is done.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Woo-young, I'm just going to go and make a call.

Okay. Go ahead.

It hurts!

It hurts!

Goodness.

I know what that feels like.

[Emergency Medical Center]

Si-a, Daddy is sorry.

It'll be over soon.

Just hold on, Si-a.

Si-a!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. Just hold on a little bit.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Si-a.

Kid, you grew so much.

You're too young to be so stressed.

-What are you doing? -You're awake!

I asked what you were doing.

Why are you here, caressing my hair?

Because I carried you all the way here on my back.

Don't you remember?

Then you should've left after dropping me off.

How dare you touch me? Do you have a death wish?

You better be like this to every other guy.

Understood?

Whatever.

Gosh.

-Deok-jin. -Yes?

What's the age limit for your daughter-in-law?

My daughter-in-law? She just can't be my age.

Hey, son.

Is that so? Until when must Si-a stay at the hospital?

Si-a is at the hospital? Why?

She had a stomach spasm.

Okay. Then you take good care of--

[Si-a, are you awake?]

[-Are you okay?] -Wait.

Is that Ms. Ok?

Do you want to rest a bit more?

Yes. She's here.

Wait there. I'm on my way.

Is this the flower shop?

Woo-young is at the hospital?

Deok-jin, wait up!

You don't look too good.

Does it still hurt?

No. I'm all right now.

[I'm covering your shift.]

[Don't worry. Rest up.]

[I'm covering your shift. Don't worry. Rest up.]

[Thank you. I'll treat you to a nice meal next time.]

Hello.

-Why are you here? -I can ask you the same thing.

Are you looking for Si-a?

Are you insane?

Ring it up.

[Emergency Ward]

Si-a!

Si-a, how did this happen?

You poor thing. It must have hurt so much.

By the way, where's Ms. Ok? She should witness my warmheartedness.

That explains your behavior.

Gosh.

Goodness.

You're an adult. Act like one.

Si-a, did it hurt a lot?

Are you all right now?

Yes, I'm okay.

Okay. I'm glad to hear that.

I heard you were very helpful, Woo-young.

I heard everything.

You practically flew with her on your back.

You might not have guessed it, but she has thick bones. Is your back okay?

Yes.

You should drink this.

It must have been hard bringing her here. You need to regain your energy.

By the way, you did come here to see me, right?

Of course.

-You should drink one too. -No!

She has a stomach spasm, so she can't have juice yet.

Gosh. Then, I'll drink it.

Why did you bring flowers?

Nice. They look beautiful.

Don't touch them.

They are for Ms. Ok. I don't need your bad luck.

Aren't they for Si-a?

Si-a.

Don't covet these flowers.

Goodness.

-Be good. -Si-a. Are you okay?

Gosh, I'm okay.

Did you leave work because of me?

I finished my interview.

You must have been in pain earlier. Why didn't you tell me?

I know that you have a lot on your mind.

And you're working too.

Is that important?

If you were sick, you should have told me.

You're upsetting me.

I'm really okay.

I can get discharged once the drip is done.

But still. You'd better not keep things from me again for my sake.

Gosh. Okay.

By the way,

how did you all get here?

Well,

I had to come and check on her when I heard she was sick.

Are you okay? All right.

Woo-young, you can leave now. My mom is here.

He can't leave.

You know what I mean?

He carried her on his back all the way to the ER here

and stayed with her.

You can't tell him to leave like this.

Really?

Thank you, Woo-young.

This was nothing.

You're humble too.

Deok-jin, you raised a great son.

Why don't we

become in-laws?

[Emergency Medical Center]

[Lobby, Registration and Billing]

I'd like to pay the bill for Hong Si-a.

Okay. Hold on.

Everything has already been paid for her.

What?

That can't be right.

[Da-jung, I already paid for Si-a's medical bill.]

[Don't worry about it.]

[You must have been scared.]

[You must have been scared. Rest up.]

[Rest up.]

Hey, I like that pass.

That's it. Yes.

Let's do our best today. Let's go!

He's making me feel uncomfortable.

[Proof of Resignation]

[Proof of Resignation, Name: Hong Dae-young]

Hey.

Where are you now?

Well, I'm in Busan.

I told you I'm on a business trip.

A business trip?

[Si-a is sick.]

[She has a stomach spasm. She's in the hospital now.]

I see. A stomach spasm.

"I see. A stomach spasm"?

Aren't you worried?

No, a lot of my colleagues had stomach spasms.

I know a thing or two about it.

Once she stops getting stressed

and is well-rested, it will go away. Don't worry.

Hey, Dae-young. Your daughter is sick.

Instead of asking me where she is and telling me you'd be here,

[you're telling me she'll be okay with rest and not to worry?]

How can you call yourself her dad?

Da-jung, you don't know everything.

No, that's not true. I know too well.

[Whenever we had problems, you said you were busy and tired.]

[Giving me excuses and avoiding them were your specialty.]

You were

never here for us when we needed you.

Is that what you think of me?

Don't worry. From now on,

we won't need you.

I wasn't there when they needed me?

Let's see if you can

still say that after finding out who I am.

When did you get here?

If you're upset, just cry.

If you bottle it up, it will snowball.

I'm all right.

I mean it. I'm fine.

Gosh.

Goodness. You always act tough.

Thank you for covering for me.

What made you so stressed out

that it made you pass out?

It's nothing.

I'm not stressed.

Si-a.

Whenever you had problems,

you always handled them by yourself.

Did that upset you?

Yes.

I can't solve your problems.

But I can listen to them.

So tell me if you have any problems.

You're right. That's the right thing to do.

What?

I'm talking about my mom.

She keeps pretending to be okay.

I thought she finally caught a break

and living a happy life with her dream job.

But the fact that she's married

and that she has kids is holding her back again.

I know that she must be having a hard time,

but she doesn't show it.

This is my point.

She made a fatal mistake of marrying my dad.

But why do you only hate your dad?

Isn't it obvious?

He's not even here on a day like this.

My dad

was never there when we needed him.

But are you sure you're okay?

No.

You should have told me sooner. Let's go back down.

-Let's get the test again. -It's not about my health.

It's about my parents' divorce.

Whenever my parents fought,

I kind of blamed myself for being born.

When I see them getting a divorce in the end,

it really feels like this is my fault

and I feel bad.

It's tough on me,

but to be honest,

I don't want them to get divorced for my sake.

Si-a is sick.

But hearing how he didn't sound concerned made me mad.

On top of that, he lied to me.

He lied?

Dae-young quit his job.

But this fool

doesn't even know this came to the house. He keeps saying he's in Busan.

He said he was on a business trip.

Dae-young lied to you?

But he never lied to you.

He didn't. But he changed too.

Divorce. Resignation.

He's been lying to me about everything

like his situation and his feelings.

I

really can't trust him anymore.

[You were never here for us when we needed you.]

[My dad was never there when we needed him.]

[You know when the final day is, right?]

[Even if you don't show up, the divorce will go through.]

[Let's end this on a good note.]

You've been living your life all wrong.

[Courthouse]

Is Mr. Hong Dae-young not here again today?

No.

Then, I will proceed with my ruling.

He's here.

Hong Dae-young.

[Epilogue]

How dare you punks get into a fight?

Why did you fight?

This jerk hit me

-out of nowhere. -Out of nowhere?

Why did you hit him?

He told me not to put up with it.

What? Not to put up with it?

Who said that?

Who?

I told you not to bully Ji-ho.

-Stop it! Let go! -I told you not to pick on him,

so don't do it!

You punks.

Gosh. There's a baby elephant.

That's so cute.

It's so cute.

If there's a place you want to go to,

you can tell me. Okay?

Ji-ho.

Come quickly. The elephants are so big!

Are you still sad?

Those little rats.

I won't let them do that again.

I heard violence is a bad thing.

What? Gosh.

My dad told me that I shouldn't put up with it.

Right?

Of course. Ji-ho.

Violence isn't the right way.

But there are times you shouldn't put up with bullying.

When are those times?

When you need to protect something dear to your heart.

When I need to protect something dear to my heart.

Let's go and take a photo.

Shall we?

Let's go!

I was stressed about

[Year 2012, USA]

-Yes. -our professor.

No one alerted us, you know.

-Okay. -Yes.

[The boy we loved back then]

[was a memory to someone.]

[Da-jung, I'm at the zoo with the kids.]

[We'll be home after dinner.]

The zoo?

Then, I should relax at home.

Thank you, honey.

[To someone, he was her present.]

[And to someone, he was a dream.]

Okay. Here it goes.

[-Years later, the boy from the past] -All right.

[-became an old man with two kids.] -Make a V.

[But he was still the same boy]

[we loved back then.]
