[2 years ago]
What do you want to eat?
Something delicious.
I like that too.
Right.
I miss Dae-young.
[Husband]
Hey, my hubby.
I'm sorry to call you. You must be tired.
We were shooting on an island.
I had such a hard time because I got seasick on the boat.
It sounds like my wifey had a tough day.
Yes, it was tough
because I missed you so much.
I see.
What about you?
Me? What about me?
Anything to say to me?
Oh, right. I'm going on a business trip.
For a week to Gwangju.
Can you pack me some underwear and socks?
And?
"And"?
Pack my toothbrush and razor too.
-Hey, Dae-young! -Gosh, you startled me.
You'll make me go deaf. What's wrong?
Is packing your bag my job?
You're not a kid. You can pack your underwear yourself.
Why are you getting mad over that?
Is that such a hard thing to do?
It's not that.
I told you that I missed you.
But why won't you say it back?
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
You've changed.
Back then,
you said you missed me even when we were together.
We've been together for a decade.
If I miss you, that would be weird.
Fine. I'm the weird one.
It must be so hard to live with such a weird woman.
Gosh.
Da-jung!
Da-jung, what's wrong?
Did I do something wrong? I didn't do anything wrong.
My goodness.
That feels nice.
Jin-cheol, you can take a shower now.
Okay. Gosh.
Hey, my pretty lady.
[Seongjong Electronics Service Center]
Yes. I missed you so much.
But hang in there. I'll be home tomorrow.
Should I buy a delicious treat on my way home?
Yes.
Okay. I miss you like crazy.
Goodness.
Do I have to send you a kiss
when Dae-young is sitting next to me?
Okay.
[Da-jung. I miss you.]
[When do you get back tomorrow?]
[-When do you get back tomorrow? -Da-jung. I miss you.]
[When do you get back tomorrow?]
[Around lunch?]
[Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.]
[Okay.]
[-Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. -Okay.]
[Episode 14, I Miss You]
Ji-hoon?
Si-a.
What are you doing here?
Oh, the thing is...
Isn't this Mr. Hong Dae-young's home?
It is.
He's my dad.
What?
Where are you?
Da-jung.
I'm Dae-young.
I'm not Go Woo-young.
I'm Hong Dae-young.
Hey.
Where did you get this phone?
-Da-jung. -Stop playing around.
Where did you get this phone?
I know it's hard to believe,
but I'm Dae-young.
On the day I got fired from my job before our divorce
and I came to your house,
I made a wish saying that I wanted to go back in time, and I suddenly became young.
My body got younger,
and I pretended to be Go Woo-young
despite being Hong Dae-young.
I'm sorry, Da-jung.
What?
Your body got younger?
You're really taking this too far.
It's true.
When I went to the stairs at the roof,
I went because I knew that's where you go when you're having a hard time.
And when I kissed you,
-we were talking about half-moons and-- -Enough already!
There's a limit to what I can let go of.
Please believe in me, Da-jung.
Are you really Hong Dae-young?
Yes, I am.
Then
why did you pretend to be Go Woo-young?
To be honest,
I wanted to live my life after my body got young again.
I wanted to play basketball again,
and I wanted to achieve my dreams.
But
I learned a lot about our kids while going to school with them.
They weren't the same Si-a and Si-woo that I knew.
That's why
I wanted to take care of them
not as their dad but as their friend.
Our kids?
You've lost your mind. You're speaking complete nonsense.
I'm warning you.
Don't come anywhere near me or my kids.
Return this phone to its owner
and don't follow me.
Da-jung...
Mom.
Ji-hoon dropped by earlier.
What?
Why did he come here?
I don't know.
He was looking for Dad.
Your dad?
Is it
because of him?
Your ex-husband?
No way.
[JBC Probationary Anchor Evaluation Score Card]
Did you email all the producers this score card?
Yes.
This is the final evaluation.
According to all the scores so far, the person who will be eliminated is
Jung Da-jung or Kwon Yu-mi.
It's one of them.
Mr. Heo,
who are you going to vote for?
What about you, sir?
Mr. Heo. Do you
remember what I said in the past?
[Application, Jung Da-jung] Make sure
this lady leaves on her own during the probationary period.
So are you...
Let's not
make it obvious until the announcement for permanent employees.
Yes, sir.
It's intense.
They're going to make the announcement soon.
It's true. When I went to the stairs at the roof,
I went because I knew that's where you go when you're having a hard time.
And when I kissed you,
we were talking about half-moons and...
[But how does he know all of that?]
[No way.]
[How to get younger]
["How to get younger, the ultimate product for anti-aging"]
[My goodness. What am I doing right now?]
Da-jung must be really nervous right now.
Nobody is in their right mind with the announcement coming up.
I can't focus on preparing for my reports or anything either.
And the MC of the show got changed too,
so I'm sure she's more worried.
["'Couples in Crisis' Is Starting New And Changing Their Host to Kim Bit-na"]
I wanted to help her,
but I guess I only made things harder for her.
What's with the bankbook?
My parents made these when I was born
and recorded my life in them until now.
That's so cool that you have such a bankbook.
I think I had a misunderstanding about my parents until now.
Especially
my dad.
I told you, your dad is a good man.
I really hate him.
Go Woo-young?
Why? I think he's okay.
Why do you think he's okay?
I think
he's a nice guy.
What about you? Why don't you like him?
He likes you.
You like him too.
Hey! I don't like him.
You don't?
No.
But why would that bother you?
Because I like you.
I like you.
Stop joking around. That's not funny.
I have to get going. Bye.
Hey!
Give them to me. I'll give you a hand.
I'm fine. I'm almost here.
No, you have bad wrists.
Sorry?
I'll take care of these.
Sure.
We're here.
Thank you.
No problem.
Stay healthy.
All right. Thanks.
You must be hungry.
Did you not have lunch?
I did. I had lunch.
Come and eat with me inside if you haven't eaten.
I'm really fine. I'm not...
You're not very good at lying, are you?
I don't know if you'll like this.
Our family loves braised ribs.
Everyone is coming home late, so let's eat first.
Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing? Eat up.
Thank you.
First,
I'll make sure to pay back the rent that you paid for me.
It's fine.
Eat up. You must be hungry.
You said that you love braised ribs.
Thank you.
Do you like it?
Yes, it's delicious.
It tastes just like my mom's.
Tell me whenever you want some.
I'll cook for you.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Think of me as your mom from now on.
I'll think of you as my son too.
Yes, ma'am.
What's wrong?
Well...
It just reminded me of my mom.
Is that right?
You two even eat alike.
Sorry?
It's nothing.
You just
remind me of my son.
[Oh, My Teacher]
[I miss you.]
Are you sad because of Ms. Ok?
It's really all over now.
So,
are you going to give up?
I have to.
There's nothing else I can do.
What do you mean?
You're just going to give up this easily?
You said it was love at first sight.
You can't miss that
and regret it like me.
Deok-jin,
don't you ever give up because of me.
What's wrong?
I'm sad that I can't see Iron Man anymore.
I bawled my eyes out while watching "Avengers: Endgame".
I know exactly how losing your favorite character feels like.
Exactly.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Gosh, I'm starving.
-Hey! -Hi!
Everyone!
Don't you think you're a tad bit too late?
Are you trying to show off that you're successful?
It's the weekend.
My French class ran a little late.
You learn French? Lucky you!
Do you want to come with me if you're interested?
No, I'm already busy looking after my kids.
Right.
Ae-rin, are you getting married anytime soon?
No, I don't plan on getting married.
What? You want to stay single forever?
If you're just using that as an excuse because it's too late and embarrassing,
don't be.
No need to be embarrassed in front of your old friends!
It's fine.
Is Da-jung coming?
You think she would? She got divorced.
Why?
Is there a rule that you can't come to a reunion if you're divorced?
It's embarrassing!
-What? -To be honest,
I was embarrassed for her every time she came.
Everyone here knows that she got knocked up as a teen.
Not only that, she never got to go to college in time,
married an incapable husband, and got divorced.
Da-jung is really the epitome of all things unfortunate.
Hey!
Who are you to evaluate other people's lives?
Did Da-jung say that she felt unhappy?
Did she say that herself?
Do we really need to hear her say that to know?
Of course!
You said that you wouldn't have married your husband had it not been
for his money, and that his face looks like a dumpster.
Fact is what comes out of the person themselves!
Chu Ae-rin! We can't even worry for our old friend?
Oh, old friend?
[Divorce Lawyer Chu Ae-rin] I got a new name card.
Give me a call when you need me.
I'll give you an old friend discount
because I worry for you all.
[Serim High School Alumni Reunion]
-Hey. -What...
What's wrong with her?
Why is she causing a scene?
I'm never coming to a reunion again!
I wonder how she's doing.
Da-jung!
Are you free?
Let's get a beer.
How refreshing.
It's nice to drink in broad daylight. It's been a while.
One more, please!
Did something happen at the school reunion?
What? No, nothing happened.
I left because it was no fun.
Hanging out with you is the most fun for me.
Same here.
Then, why don't we go on a trip next weekend?
We can go somewhere close
and have a cup of coffee.
And let's take a lot of photos too.
What a surprise. You're the busiest woman I know.
I wasn't the busy one between us.
You always said no to my offer.
Right.
I did say no.
I was just kidding.
If you feel bad about it, I feel bad too.
It's nothing. I'm just envious.
Of what?
You're free and passionate.
You're enjoying your life. I'm so envious of that.
Really?
I'm going paragliding again this time.
Want to join me?
Really?
Whenever you went paragliding,
I always wanted to go with you.
Join me.
It's my kids.
I can't do anything that's physically dangerous.
What if I get into an accident? What about my kids?
They are still in high school.
Gosh. You are indeed a mother.
Forget it. Let's just drink today.
Let's do that.
[Seo Ji-ho]
Whatever.
That's her. Hong Si-a.
What? Gu Ja-sung asked someone like her to go out with him?
Whatever.
But she dumped him when she looks like that.
My gosh. She must be very confident of herself.
She must think she's pretty.
Exactly. She's ridiculous.
-Let's just ignore them. -Right. Did you know?
Jung Da-jung.
That's her mom.
I see. That woman who got splashed?
I knew it. She's trashy just like her mother.
Hey, by the way, she must think
having kids at an early age is something to brag about.
How can she be on TV?
How humiliating.
Hey, she might hear you.
Seriously.
-What are you doing? -I can put up with criticisms about me,
but not when they are about my mom.
Let go of me.
-Apologize. -You must be out of your mind.
-I'm sorry. -Sorry about what?
I badmouthed your mother. I'm sorry about that.
Hey, are you okay?
Who are you?
Hong Si-a?
You must be out of your mind.
You can't go like this. Where do you think you're going?
If you want to leave, kneel and apologize.
Then, maybe, I'll consider letting you go.
If you want to leave, kneel and apologize.
Then, maybe, I'll consider letting you go.
-Let go of me. -No.
Are you crazy?
-Gosh. -Hey.
-Are you okay? -Hey.
Hey, get them. Get them now!
Hey!
Darn it.
Hey!
Stop right there!
Hey!
You're really not going to the PC cafe?
-Let's go. -I said no.
Let's just go.
Hey, stop them.
What's going on?
It's none of your business. Get out of my way.
It is my business.
Don't bother Hong Si-a.
If you do, I won't let that slide.
Oh, right.
Don't bother that guy either.
Darn it.
Let's go.
What?
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
I'm okay.
Do I make you
uncomfortable?
No.
You're an awful liar,
Si-a.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I'm the one who made things uncomfortable
between us.
But you can forget about what I said.
I don't want to lose our friendship
because of what I said.
Let's go.
Hey, Ji-ho.
Wait up.
Don't just stand there.
Let's go.
Okay.
My gosh. I'm drunk today.
I called a taxi. Take it when it comes.
By the way,
were you able to make things clear with Woo-young?
Don't even start.
I thought I made things very clear,
but he crossed the line.
How?
He told me that he's Hong Dae-young.
What?
So what do you think about that?
What do I think?
I just feel bad for Deok-jin.
Da-jung.
You told me that your heart fluttered because he resembled Dae-young.
Putting aside his looks,
he has Dae-young's voice and acts like Dae-young.
Even I found that a bit off.
That has never crossed your mind?
Not at all.
It's impossible for people to get young.
Why is that?
I mean, it turns out
there are deities and aliens in our world.
Dae-young could have gotten younger.
You never know what can happen in our world.
Right.
You are drunk.
The taxi is here. Let's go.
-Hey, I'm really not drunk. -Hurry.
Hey, I'm not drunk at all.
This is a fact!
Hey.
Sorry for making you wait long.
My grandma is leaving tomorrow. I was helping her pack.
-She's leaving tomorrow? -Yes.
Hey, Mom.
Where are you going at this hour?
To the park. I'm going to practice with Woo-young.
Don't you know what time it is?
Did you call him out?
-No, the thing is... -From now on,
don't call Si-woo out at a late hour.
It's late, so practice tomorrow.
Let's go, Si-woo.
I'm sorry, Woo-young.
I'll call you later.
Why are you being like that to Woo-young?
If you act cold to him, I'll feel bad.
Si-woo. I'll be honest with you.
I want you to keep your distance from Woo-young.
What?
Why must I do that?
It's because...
Maybe it's because he lived abroad for a long time,
but I feel like he's too open-minded.
What are you talking about?
Did you have that kind of prejudice?
Regardless, it's because I'm worried.
You only hang out with Woo-young these days,
and you don't meet your other friends.
I don't have any friends to hang out with.
What do you mean?
To be honest,
I was bullied at school.
What?
Why are you telling me that now?
How can I tell you that?
But I'm okay now, so don't worry.
I didn't have friends before,
and I didn't have the courage to play basketball.
But after I met Woo-young,
a lot has changed for me.
Woo-young
is a really good friend to me.
Are things
okay now?
Yes, they are.
It's all thanks to Woo-young.
-Goodness. -This must be so heavy.
What? Woo-young.
Didn't you go to school?
I had something to do, so I left school early.
Is that so? What brings you here?
I heard you were leaving today.
I have to go to the bus terminal too.
The bus terminal?
Yes.
Why do you need to go there?
To see my mom.
[Ticket Office]
Here. One ticket to Gangneung, please.
Thank you.
[Ticket Office]
He must have left.
[Director's Office]
Come in.
I have the final score for the probationary employees.
What?
What is this?
Is this correct?
Yes.
Does this make sense?
Newbies.
Gather around.
The results
for the permanent employees just came out.
Excuse me.
What? You didn't leave yet?
Not yet.
Please eat this as you go.
Your luggage is heavy,
so be sure to take a taxi home.
Right. Thank you.
Then
get home safely.
Okay.
[What do you think?]
Is it good?
Of course it is.
How did you know to buy it for me every time?
I know it's your favorite.
Here.
When you get to the terminal, be sure to take a taxi.
Goodness, it's okay. I can take the bus.
Please take a taxi this time.
Also, don't tell Da-jung that I gave you spending money. Okay?
Goodness gracious.
Thank you.
No problem.
The results for the permanent employees just came out.
Thank you for all your work,
Ms. Jung.
It's okay.
Let's finish up
the rest of the week well.
Of course.
Gosh.
Where are you going? Sir!
Director Choi!
Director Moon! What brings you here?
You told the variety show department's producers to give Ms. Jung a zero!
Ms. Jung didn't make the cut because of you!
Is that right?
That's great.
What?
You even took her off the show that you first cast her!
This is going too far.
Exactly!
This shows how lowly your department thinks of us, the news anchors!
What's with the fuss?
The divorced news anchor with two kids was a headache to you too.
You should thank me for cutting her out without causing a scene.
Why are you getting angry at me?
How is she a headache to us?
She's so talented that she even convinced me!
I'm banning all the news anchors
from being on any of your variety shows!
[Director Choi Hyun-seung] Darn it!
Come on, Director Moon.
Let go!
Darn you!
Director Moon, you sounded incredible.
Incredible? Nonsense.
I was the one who wanted Ms. Jung out because she gave me a headache.
Ms. Jung...
All this time that she was working hard to prove herself,
I never got to tell her that she did well.
I only got to tell her
after she got cut.
-Mr. Heo, -Yes?
you said that you remember what I said, right?
Yes.
In this world,
one should be evaluated
purely based on their quality of work, not by anything else.
But
I keep forgetting that.
I didn't want to repeat my mistake.
I wanted to get it right this time.
Why are there so many condescending jerks like me in this industry?
[Jung Da-jung]
Why are you blocking the way?
[Jung Da-jung]
Is something wrong?
It's nothing.
Why are you here?
Because I miss you.
You're certainly not Hong Dae-young.
Hong Dae-young would never say that.
You didn't
tell the kids that you're Hong Dae-young,
did you?
I didn't.
All right.
I'm grateful to you
for taking care of my kids and me.
But
if you keep coming to me like this,
I think I'll be more worried for my kids
than grateful.
So please,
let's pretend that none of that happened.
What happened at the party
and the things you said after.
I'm going to forget it all.
So please, do the same
for me and my kids.
Okay.
It seems like the rain isn't stopping anytime soon. Take this umbrella.
-I'm fine. -Take it.
And
whatever it is,
you must've had a long day,
so just go home and rest.
Sorry?
It's fine.
You've been doing well all along.
It's fine.
You've been doing well all along.
Yes?
I'll head right over.
Are you sure Hong Dae-young is the guy in the footage?
Yes, I've gotten in touch with the car owners that parked
near where the accident happened,
looked through their dash cams, and looked for the man in the footage.
I double-checked with his workplace
about the accident that day too, so I'm confident.
Could I take a look at the footage?
Sure.
Here.
This man is
Da-jung's husband?
Hello?
Is this Hong Dae-young?
Yes, it is. Who is this?
I'd like to meet you in person.
What is this about?
Do you
remember the car accident
that occurred on Christmas Day?
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry.
Hey, Mom. I'm sorry.
Things got hectic for me. I couldn't call you.
It's raining. Did you get home safely?
I'm all right. It's not raining here.
And I got to the bus terminal comfortably because Woo-young helped me.
Woo-young did?
[Yes.]
But earlier, it felt strange.
Woo-young bought me the red bean buns from the bus terminal.
I was reminded of Dae-young.
Ms. Jung.
Mom. I'll call you later.
Please sign here.
I'm a fan. Can you give me an autograph?
Okay. Sure.
Thank you.
Actually, I became your fan because of the guy who bought the shoes.
The guy who bought the shoes?
Yes. It looked like he was a big fan of yours.
He bragged so much about you, so I remember him.
You're sending them to a TV station.
"Anchorwoman Jung Da-jung"?
What kind of show is she on?
Don't you know who she is?
Gosh, no.
I'm a huge fan of hers.
She prepared to become an anchor at a late age.
So whenever she had job interviews, it must have been hard,
but she didn't give up and kept trying.
So she got the job with her 24th interview.
I see.
When she worked as a reporter on a contract,
she went through so much.
How do you know everything about her?
Oh, that. I read that in her interview.
I see. I will look her up too.
Anchorwoman Jung Da-jung.
Yes. You should definitely look her up.
She's a really cool woman.
Afterward, I've been following your career.
And I started to root for you too.
You must be so happy to have such a reliable fan like him.
The man who called himself my fan...
Was he a man in his late 30s?
No. He looked like a student.
A student?
Yes.
Please wait here. I'll bring your shoes.
What? I'm fine.
I'm not fine with that.
[I'm not okay with it.]
How can they just let you leave like this? This is upsetting.
Be strong. Don't worry about Si-a and Si-woo,
and focus on your work.
I'll take care of the kids at school.
[He's here.]
[Hong Dae-young.]
[I should've been nicer to you.]
"I'm sorry for not taking better care of you."
It's really fine
as long as you're okay.
I'm okay
as long as you're okay.
[How did you know I have indigestion?]
[I get like that when I'm stressed out.]
I can take them out.
Don't do anything. This is my job.
Why are you staring at me?
Because you're pretty.
How beautiful.
[When I went to the stairs at the roof,]
[I went because I knew that's where you go when you're having a hard time.]
[And when I kissed you,]
[we were talking about half-moons.]
[Hong Dae-young]
Dae-young.
Where are you now?
Well,
I'm...
Stay there.
I'm coming.
Dae-young.
Did you have fun
deceiving me?
If you lied about who you are,
you should have lived your own life.
Why are you hovering around me and nice to me?
If you hid it from me,
you should've hidden it to the end.
Why are you telling me this now?
You said you regretted it.
You regretted meeting me and ruining your life.
I let you go, so you can live a good life.
I didn't ask you to stay.
But...
But
why are you here again?
Whenever you stayed by my side,
do you know what went through my head?
"I miss you."
"I miss you, Hong Dae-young."
I missed you too.
[Epilogue]
I told you, your dad is a good man.
You have a really good opinion of my dad.
Why do you like my dad so much?
[Together Sports Day at Poongrim Elementary School]
Ji-ho, I'm sorry. Okay?
Ji-ho, do you want to run with me?
Hi, Dae-young. You're going to run another one?
Of course. I have so much energy left.
Ji-ho, you can win this, right?
-Yes! -Let's go!
Good luck, Ji-ho.
-Good luck! -Win!
-Go! -Go!
[Together Sports Day at Poongrim Elementary School]
-Let's go! -Let's go!
Ji-ho!
Good job!
That's true love.

[-Hooray! -Go!]
[-Go! -Let's go!]
[We won first place!]
[Well done.]
[-We won! Yes! -Good job.]
[Yes!]
[You did well, okay?]
[-Yes! -Right.]
[You were great!]

[You were so cool.]

[What? What's wrong?]
What am I thinking?
[Are you free tomorrow?]
[Let's go on a date.]
[How many years has it been since we went on a date?]
[By the way, it's not that bad.]
[We haven't done a lot of things.]
[So we'll get excited about a lot of things.]
[Then, let's do everything we couldn't do when we were young.]
