Well...
I read the story.
Pooka and Pooka's friends...
all lack something.
But they meet, fill up what each other is lacking,
and go on an adventure.
I thought it was a heartwarming story.
The thing is,
because the characters all lack something,
I wanted to use many colors.
I wanted them to just show what they lack.
"Yes, this is me."
That is the impression I wanted to give.
As for the other details,
I just thought it'd be fun to add them.
As for this monkey, he's a thief,
so I thought it'd be good to draw a pocket where he can put things...
that he steals.
What about the mustache?
I thought it was funny to see the mustache on the rabbit.
Right. This character bluffs and lies...
from the very first scene he appears.
Shall I say he's arrogant but funny at the same time?
Yes, exactly.
I could totally tell that was what you wanted to portray.
The other characters too.
How about we try to draw the characters with oil paint?
- Oil paint? - Yes.
I think the texture of oil paint will help liven up the characters.
The brushstrokes...
will probably showcase the vivid colors even more.
Yes, you're right.
This is great.
It's incredible that you interpreted the characters based on the story...
and drew them in a way that reflects your own perspective.
Your perspective itself is very creative,
and you used such bold color combinations.
I love this so much.
I never thought that this direction would suit the story.
Thank you for showing me something new. I'm so glad.
I'd love to work with you, Mr. Geum.
Could you work on this?
Yes. Sure, I'll do it.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 79)
Shouldn't you get ready for work?
What?
Yes, I should get ready.
You know, honey...
Why are you scoffing suddenly?
The more I think about it, the more it baffles me.
In Seo...
even followed Min Hee around acting as her manager.
He worked as a deliveryman...
and even worked at Father's work sites.
He even went to the broadcasting studio.
Gosh, I feel so hot.
I'm so angry.
Turn on the fan.
Okay.
Gosh, it's so hot!
I'm speechless.
Hey, where are you going?
The woodworking studio.
I'm off to the woodworking studio.
See you later.
Gosh, that brat...
I see. He's going to do whatever he wants now.
He doesn't even care!
Fine, do whatever you want.
Do everything you want!
Oh, I guess you're off to work.
I was going to stop by.
I made these for the kids.
By the way, are you okay?
You don't look so well.
I'm okay.
I have to go to work.
Right, get going. Take it easy.
See you later.
She's upset because of In Seo.
She's not upset with you. It's because of In Seo.
Please understand.
Of course, I totally understand.
Nothing is more frustrating...
than not knowing what your child is thinking.
You must be worried and stressed about the situation.
I'm all right.
Everything will be okay though.
They'll reconcile with each other, you know.
Oh, you're wearing this.
Isn't it a nice one to wear to work?
Yes, it's nice.
You always do so much for us.
I'm so grateful to you. You know that, right?
You should go to work too.
I'll give these to Min Ah and Heon.
Okay, see you.
See you.
See you later.
Of course, you'll see me later. It's not like I won't come home.
Just stay home.
Don't go out and visit all the agencies.
You said you're depressed.
Lie down and rest up, okay?
No way.
I'll go crazy if I have to lie down all day.
Lucky you. You can go to work.
I want to work too.
Who's calling?
I don't recognize this number. Who is this?
Hello?
Yes! I'm Oh Min Hee from "Rose of Betrayal."
Are you two still not getting along?
In Seo seemed very sweet. I'm surprised.
I suddenly feel like I know nothing about him.
Gosh, it's driving me crazy.
It must be so stressful for you.
Something else must be going on though.
Sang Baek quit his job in the midst of all this.
We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
But he told me he liked the job and was enjoying it.
So when I heard he suddenly quit,
I thought something else must be going on with your family.
What? What are you talking about?
Sang Baek quit his job? Why?
Oh, I was asking you about it.
You didn't know?
How did you find out?
When did he quit?
Well...
On my way to work today,
I saw a security guard I had never seen before.
I don't know all the security guards,
but I used to run into Sang Baek once in a while.
I asked if he was transferred to a different building,
but I was told he quit.
Hello, I'm calling about the job ad.
Sorry? The position has already been filled?
I see. Okay.
Darn it. Then they should take down the ad.
Hi, honey.
Me?
I'm working.
What's up?
What? How... How did you find out?
What are you craving that you keep snooping inside the cupboards?
Nothing.
Are you sure?
Oh, you have it!
There was only one left, so I hid it.
I need to munch on something when I have a headache.
Are you sure you're not eating it because it's tasty?
Well, that's a given.
I'll give you some coffee. To return this favor.
Sure, this is great. We look out for each other.
Thanks.
My gosh, you're not a kid.
That was nothing. I just brushed against his skin.
This is no big deal.
Gosh, what is wrong with me?
Why am I being overly sensitive? Don't make things awkward.
It may be a red ocean,
but moms like me will all want to read it,
so I think it'll do well.
I did a lot of research when I was pregnant.
I should have suggested it first.
I thought of it because of my niece.
The idea hit me when I was giving our books to my eldest niece.
Storybooks for unborn babies and books about parenting...
will help us expand beyond our niche.
Yes, I like the plan.
Let's develop the idea and share the plan officially.
Okay.
But how should we approach pre-launch marketing...
for such books?
Moms-to-be will be our target audience.
Seong Joon, why don't we target related online forums first?
Okay, I'll get on it right away.
What's the rush?
We can discuss this when we have the official plan ready.
Exactly. If we want to publish them in the second half of the year...
Right. Mr. Hyun won't be here.
You said you're going to work for a publishing firm in the US.
That's right. I'll be at Willy.
I'm sad to let him go,
but I can't ask him to stay because I brought him here...
when he was supposed to move there long ago to get ready in advance.
Mr. Hyun, keep up the good work until you leave.
Yes, of course.
I learned so much from Mr. Hyun.
I still have a lot to learn, so I'm sad.
Don't you worry about that.
I'll teach you everything I know before I leave.
Here.
Yes.
Right, he's leaving. He'll be gone soon.
I knew. I knew about it from the get-go.
Geu Roo.
What's up?
Are you okay?
What do you mean?
You keep acting like you know something.
I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?
I'm really okay.
- You'll get hurt. - Sorry?
Oh, Grandpa.
What are you making now?
It's just...
I don't know what I want to make.
If I keep on carving it,
I guess it'll become something.
You need to decide what you want to make first.
But I don't know what I want to make.
I wish it would become something...
if I kept doing this.
I want to see it...
become something soon.
I have no idea what this will end up becoming,
but it can be anything.
Even if you don't know how to carve this now,
just keep thinking about...
how you want the end product to look.
Decide on the direction, and it will become something...
no matter how long the entire process takes.
Right?
Yes.
Just keep at it.
Geum Sang Min!
How could you storm out like that?
You left in the middle of the interview!
List some excuses at least.
You said you want to live in reality now.
You said you wanted a decent life!
Right, I am trying to live a decent life.
To me, this is decent.
"How would you describe yourself in one word?"
When the CEO asked me this question,
I was at a loss for words.
"Why am I sitting here now?"
"What do I want to do?"
"Why am I talking about export and sales here?"
That was all I could think of, Soo Jin.
"I'm someone who must keep dreaming to live."
You're very practical, so you need to live in reality.
I know. I know that,
but I want to keep chasing my dreams.
That's how I want to live my life.
What about the kind of life where you go to work,
feel rewarded at work from time to time,
go for a beer with your co-workers,
and give each other a pat on the back?
You can go out for a fancy dinner on your payday...
and save money while planning for your future.
Is that kind of life too boring for you?
Does it mean nothing to you?
Can't that plan be your dream?
Must you have such vain, grandiose dreams?
Must you waste your time and life expecting such grand results?
Can't you just live an ordinary life and build your happiness?
This is a big dream in and of itself.
Can't you live like that?
I can. I can do that.
It is a big dream that is not easy to achieve.
The thing is, art is...
It is my only dream.
Without that dream,
I can't be myself.
I'm sorry.
I was going to tell you.
But why?
Why now?
Did you want to see me collapse?
Did you want me to fall apart and faint?
Honey.
I'm going to send In Seo to the academy.
We need your paycheck.
We have to pay Ms. Kang back.
If we don't, I'll be uncomfortable and feel bad...
whenever I see her no matter how much I like her.
You said you felt the same way...
and that you'd pay her back before you did anything else.
You only brought home one paycheck.
And that's it?
I'm so disappointed in you.
You can do this because I have a job...
and you know I'll never quit.
You quit the job on a whim because you can count on me.
What stressed you out so much?
What couldn't you put up with?
People only slack off when they have something to fall back on.
I am your wife,
so I should take care of you.
But what about you?
When will you do that for me?
When can I just relax and let you take care of me?
No.
I didn't quit. I got fired.
It's so unfair that it's driving me crazy.
You got fired? Why did you get fired?
What kind of mistake did you make that they let you go overnight?
Forget it. I don't care. You already got fired anyway.
You probably made some stupid mistake.
No.
I didn't do it.
But I felt so bad for my co-worker...
that I couldn't just stand back and watch.
Enough, stop it.
Stop. Don't talk to me.
I shouldn't have asked her about it.
Hey, Heon. Is everything okay at home?
How's your mother-in-law?
Things are not okay at all. Mother and Father are fighting.
I'm so scared.
You guys should just stay in your room.
Don't get involved.
Answer if they ask you something, but other than that, just stay put.
How's Min Ah?
Hello, Mother. I'm here.
Hi, this must be stressful for you.
But let your parents talk it out. Stay in your room with Heon, okay?
All right, get some rest.
Hi.
I'm still at the clinic.
Really?
It's okay.
All right, text me the address.
Gosh, I should take you to a nicer place.
This place doesn't suit you at all, Min Hee.
That's not true.
People think I'm a bit of a snob,
but I'm not like that at all.
I'm totally down-to-earth.
Oh, I've been a regular here since I made my acting debut...
when I was in my 20s.
When I got the call from you,
I felt like this could be a new beginning for me.
So I thought...
it'd be meaningful to meet you here.
Maybe I'll get lucky again.
Yes, I have a good feeling about this too.
I can't believe you visited agencies yourself to get meetings.
I'm impressed by how proactive you are.
My staff said they told you to just leave your number,
so I scolded them big-time.
They should have given you the VIP treatment.
My gosh, it's okay.
I'm glad we met like this.
Yes, indeed.
I used to work for a big agency but started my own recently.
But thanks to the actors who put their trust in me,
the business took off right off the bat.
I was trying to focus on expanding the business,
and signing with you would be like the icing on the cake.
My gosh, that's amazing. Icing on the cake!
The meat is cooked now.
Try it. The food here is so good.
- You should have some too. - Thank you.
It's so good.
- Right? Isn't it delicious? - Yes.
I'm glad you like it.
Well, Director Geum Sang Gu is doing well, right?
What? Yes, he's doing well.
Why do you ask?
Oh, I heard he's working on a new drama.
He's a talented director, so I'm sure the drama will do well.
Speaking of which,
I think some of my actors...
will be just perfect for his new drama.
If you sign with us, we'll be like a family anyway.
Put in a good word for me. We'll look after our family,
and I'll take care of you.
What do you say?
Are you saying...
I should tell my husband to cast your actors...
if I want to sign with you? Is that it?
Gosh, no. You'll sign with us anyway,
so I'm just saying we should help out each other.
Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.
Darn it. Did I bring it up too quickly?
This way.
The food here is really good.
I've been to many barbecue restaurants,
and this place has the best quality meat.
I see. Go ahead and order.
Shall I?
Excuse me.
I feel so hot.
Honey, have some water.
You know,
I'll get another job.
I've already completed the security guard training,
and I have some experience now, so I'll find something soon.
Don't worry, okay?
By the way, In Seo isn't home yet. I'm sure he'll be home soon,
- but should I call him? - No, don't.
Don't do anything.
Tell In Seo that he can go ahead and quit everything.
Yes, he can quit it all.
And I...
I quit too.
What? Quit what?
Honey! What are you doing?
Honey, why are you being like this?
Honey. Honey, please!
Sir, I thought about your offer.
This is what I think.
I can be successful without Director Geum's help.
And to be frank, I got to where I am today...
with zero help from him.
I can grow as an actress on my own.
Right, you don't need Director Geum.
That's right. I can totally do it without him...
- I told you. - Really?
- What's he doing here? - Sorry?
Have you checked it out yet? It's so...
Geum Sang Gu...
isn't supposed to be here now.
Here, let me.
No, it's okay. I got it.
- Be careful. - Thanks.
My gosh...
Anyway, it'll be good.
As soon as I woke up,
I got a call about it.
That's amazing.
They say luck is a skill too.
- I think I was born lucky. - Geum Sang Gu.
Yes?
My gosh, hello.
"Hello?"
Hey, no! Don't get the wrong idea.
Oh, it's not what you think.
Don't get the wrong idea. This is just...
Okay, all right.
Fine, Geum Sang Gu.
I told you it's not what you think. Hey, Min Hee!
- Min Hee, don't get the wrong idea! - Hold on.
Min Hee! It's not what you think!
Min Hee.
Wait, Min Hee.
You got the wrong idea.
It's not just me and her.
Even though you're a total jerk,
I believed you'd never cheat on me...
and thought you had an ounce of love for me...
somewhere in your heart.
I wanted to believe that.
That's why I didn't abandon you.
What? "Abandon" me?
How dare you come here?
We used to come here on our dates.
How could you bring another woman here?
How could you pour her water,
get her tissues, and smile at her?
I saw you smiling from ear to ear.
Have you ever done that for me?
Right. You did, when we were dating.
You did those things for me when we were dating.
Are you dating that woman?
Stop talking total nonsense.
This is unacceptable.
I can't forgive you for this.
Let's end this.
I want a divorce!
Honey! Honey, why are you being like this?
Where are you going in the middle of the night?
Please, honey. Please don't go.
I can't take this anymore.
I quit too.
Don't come looking for me!
