(Episode 53)
I had to part ways with my baby five days after I gave birth to her.
She's back after 30 years and sleeping by my side.
Thank you so much for growing into a decent person.
It's chicken porridge. Try some.
Okay.
Who will catch my bouquet by the way?
Do Na?
Then...
- Young Hee? - Me?
Right, you should catch it.
Well, I have a long way to go before I get married.
You should catch it.
I won't get married in the near future either.
Let me toss my bouquet to at least one of you.
Right.
I'll be the one.
That will do.
So...
did you get emotional to sleep with Do Na...
after 30 years?
Yes. Thank you so much.
Thank you for raising her.
Come to think of it,
maybe I've done something I shouldn't have.
You felt so heartbroken to be apart from Do Na...
that I think...
you got such a disease.
No, that's not true. Don't think of it that way.
I hope...
you stay alive...
until Do Na gets married.
What could my mother have been like...
when she had to send me away after giving birth to me at the age of 20?
She must've suffered a lot.
Why...
did I have to be so mean to her?
I could've forgiven her a little sooner.
Then I would've had more time...
to call her as my mom.
Did you?
Did you sleep with Do Na?
I guess you couldn't sleep at all.
I couldn't.
I didn't have a headache last night either.
I felt so emotional.
That tiny baby grew up...
and was lying next to me.
I couldn't believe it that I pinched my cheek.
Right, you should be proud of her.
She must've been so lonely to live with her grandma as a child.
She grew up to be a great adult.
Do Na's parents passed away,
and I was torn very much.
I wanted to tell you honestly...
and raise her under my family.
Why didn't you tell me?
You could've allowed it,
but your parents would've been against the idea.
Then again,
you...
went through a lot, living with your in-laws.
From time to time,
I went to see her from far away.
I saw her grow little by little.
I was proud that she managed to grow well...
without her mother.
Spend a little more time...
with that precious child...
before you go, Lara.
I want to.
I made a reservation for special facial treatment...
so that you look beautiful at your wedding. Go get it.
It's a gift for my little sister.
Thank you, Hye Mi.
- Mom. - Mom.
Did you finish talking with Dad?
Yes.
I have something to talk about with Hye Mi.
Okay, I'll leave you two alone.
I wasn't exactly a good mother to you.
Why are you saying this?
As soon as I gave birth to you, your grandmother...
asked the nanny to raise you...
because she thought I was uneducated.
You even had to...
sleep with your grandmother.
I didn't have the power to stay by your side.
I know.
Grandma was one of a kind.
The same goes for when you got married.
I knew there was...
something funny about you and Joon Ho.
But I wasn't able to stop your marriage.
I wasn't the type who would've listened to you anyway.
But please know that...
I really loved you guys a lot.
So...
please forgive me for all the things I may have done wrong.
Mom, don't say that.
You're making it sound like...
you're really going to leave.
Okay, I'll stop.
Thank you, Writer Yoon.
And congratulations on completing the script.
This is a historical event.
I can't believe you're already done with the script.
That was all I could do for Lara.
How's your mom doing?
She seemed to be in a good condition today.
That's a relief.
I should get going now.
Why?
You don't even have a shoot today.
I'm going to see Lara since she's in a good condition.
You're so brazen.
Mock me if you will, but I'm still going to go.
Bye.
I'm worried about you,
but I'm really worried about Director Shin as well.
- Pardon? - I don't think...
he'll ever be able to fall in love again.
You look great.
Yes. I wish every day would be like today.
Seeing you smile makes me feel happy.
I slept with Do Na yesterday.
So that's why you feel so well.
Yes.
By the way, I yielded the opportunity to go to the States...
to someone else.
Why?
Once the drama ends...
and you go to the sanitarium,
I'm planning to go with you.
Director Shin.
Why would you give up such a good opportunity because of me?
The most important thing to me...
is to see you for as much as I can before you go.
I ended up troubling you again.
Why would you say that?
You gave me the best gift I could ever get.
You taught me how it feels...
to sincerely love someone.
You set me free from the restricted life I had because of my aunt.
Since things have become this way,
let's at least protect our family line.
Joon Ho, bring her home as soon as...
you're done finalizing your divorce.
Father.
If we knew things were going to turn out this way,
we should've just let him get married to her...
when he was persistent about marrying her.
Then he wouldn't have ended up getting married to Hye Mi,
and the company wouldn't have faced such a crisis.
What's the point of saying that now?
Dad gave us permission to get married.
No.
I'm not going to get married to you.
Jin Hee.
I was able to find out what kind of man you really are.
So why would I get married to you?
Why are you doing this?
Jin Hee, I'm sorry. So please...
I won't raise my child with a dad who wanted it gone.
I'll raise my child on my own.
- Jin Hee. - Please leave.
Mom.
It's okay. I'm fine. You can go back to sleep.
Does it hurt a lot?
No, I took my medicine.
I'll be fine.
When mommy goes to the island
To pick oysters
The baby would stay home
And protect the house
And with the sound of the waves
As the lullaby
He would rest his head on his arm
And fall asleep
I...
was never able to sing a lullaby for you.
I can't believe I ended up...
hearing you sing a lullaby for me instead.
Thank you, Do Na.
Eat well.
It's not easy to stand by...
someone who's sick.
Okay, I'll eat well.
I guess this is why they say people are selfish.
Lara's dying right now,
but I'm worried that you might ruin your health.
- Aunt. - What?
If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have been able to become who I am today.
Eat up.
Okay.
From now on, I want the three of you to manage this business.
- Madam Jung. - I picked you three...
because you're the most experienced and reckless.
Madam Jung, is there something wrong?
I'm going to die soon.
I already paid the acquisition tax,
and the three of you will be getting equal amounts of shares.
What kind of illness do you have?
Will you help me live if I tell you?
How bad is it?
Stop asking...
- Cut. - Cut.
Let's take a 10-minute break.
We'll take a 10-minute break.
Director Shin, can you go over the lines with Lara?
Okay.
Stop asking questions, and bring me alcohol.
It's such an easy line.
You're doing well.
You're right.
I'm doing quite well for someone...
who's about to die, aren't I?
Of course.
Do Na takes after my guts.
Is that where she got that?
No wonder. Her guts seemed to have roots.
Hey, why did you tell the reporter of Entertainment News...
that I'm your ideal type?
It's the truth.
Shouldn't you hide those kind of things?
Are you sure you're a celebrity?
I'm not just a celebrity. I'm a pop idol.
What I said could have an effect on my career.
But I don't care. Why?
Because I really like you.
Stop.
Please stop saying that out loud like that.
Your reaction is a bit strange.
Why is it strange?
You didn't tell me not to say such a thing.
You just told me not to say it loudly.
What about it?
My gosh.
You're so cute that I could eat you right up.
You'd probably kill me if I was cuter.
See? I think you like me now.
Goodness.
I think my acting was great today.
Really? No way. You're lying.
It's true.
I really concentrated on my emotions,
and it only took two takes to shoot the scene.
It just seems that I'm a naturally-born actress.
I think you took too much medicine today.
I'm no longer the Lara you thought was a bad actress.
I guess I'm the kind of actress who gets better as she gets old.
Excessive self-praise is also a sickness.
I'm serious.
Fine. I believe you.
Come on. Why won't you believe me?
I can see that you're trying very hard...
to make me laugh.
I'm not trying to make you laugh. It's just the fact.
What should I do?
What do you mean?
I'm going to miss you.
It's such a nice place.
Yes.
Do Na.
You were a really good girl.
They said it'd be a hard delivery because you were my first,
but I gave birth to you in just three hours.
You didn't even cry when your mom and grandma...
came to take you.
You were only five days old,
but you looked at me with sparkling eyes.
It looked like you were...
saying goodbye to me.
Have you ever regretted...
falling in love with Dad?
No.
But if I could turn back time,
I wouldn't reveal...
my feelings for him.
Do Na.
Yes?
If only I could be born as your mother,
I want...
to be born in this world again.
I want to spend that entire life taking care of you as your mother.
If we ever meet again,
let's...
stay together...
for a long time then.
Okay.
Let's do that.
Hey. You shouldn't eat, Sung Ah.
What if you have a bloated face tomorrow?
Who cares?
I'm marrying a man who is blinded by love.
You're bragging now, aren't you?
In a way, yes.
Isn't this going to upset your stomach?
No. I'm not having any trouble eating.
I guess it's because you're happy to see...
your three daughters together.
Yes. I guess so.
Seriously, who's going to catch the bouquet?
Don't cry. It'll ruin your makeup.
I'm just thinking about Mom.
It's a happy day, so smile.
Okay.
I'm sorry for many things that I've done to you.
The bride will march down the aisle now.
Why did you catch that bouquet?
It just flew at me. What else could I do?
Toss it to someone else?
Don't you know that it means you should get married in six months?
Really?
It's a must, right?
They say you won't be able to get married for six years if you don't.
I don't know who made up that kind of a jinx, but it's good.
I want to date for a long time.
People say marriage is death to a love affair.
Why would you believe such a thing?
If we get married, I'd treat you like a precious baby.
You're lying.
Watch me. You'll see.
In six months.
I was really anxious...
because I was worried Sung Ah might trip.
She still managed to pull it off like a grown-up.
Do Na trained her really strictly.
Bum Woo practiced with her for half of the day too.
Thank you.
Not at all.
Let's get together often with Sung Ah and Gil Joon.
Shall we have a drink to promise that?
Here you go again.
I want to buy my future son-in-law a drink. Why are you interfering?
Do Na.
Yes.
I can consider Bum Woo as my future son-in-law, right?
- Yes. - All right.
I got her approval. Shall we go on a binge now?
You said it's just one drink.
A man should finish what he started. My gosh.
Excuse me.
Lara looked so beautiful today.
I guess you actually like pretty women.
I know.
I can put up with bad-tempered women, but not the ugly ones.
I think Lara has unleashed you.
You never told jokes like that before.
My life has changed completely since I met Lara.
How have you been hiding your romantic character?
Perhaps, I've been in love with her since I was little.
Since when?
Maybe when I was 10 years old?
When I was that little,
my aunt took me to a movie theater.
I saw Lara on the screen for the first time.
My aunt asked me whom I thought was prettier...
between her and Lara,
and I said my aunt was prettier.
You knew how to flatter people.
But what I actually thought was that...
Lara isn't just pretty...
but that she's like an angel.
As I watch you,
I feel like fate...
does exist.
I'm sorry Bum Woo had to go through all that trouble today.
He's a great guy, but I think he's a bit slow-witted.
He drank everything Chairman Jung offered.
Chairman Jung can really hold his liquor.
He tends to drink a lot when he's happy.
Mom.
Yes?
I'll treat the chairman...
as my father.
Thank you, Do Na.
(Episode 54)
Goodness.
You must feel bad that you couldn't go on a honeymoon.
Have a seat.
So...
how was your first night?
We argued all night long.
Why?
Gil Joon...
snores so much.
- Come on. - What? Am I wrong?
It's his habit. You shouldn't argue over such a matter.
It's because you haven't heard how he snores.
It'll be louder than the sound of a passing tank.
You're determined to embarrass me, aren't you?
I snore really hard too,
but your mom didn't say a word about it.
She didn't say a word,
so how did you know that you snored badly?
Your mom recorded it and put it in my study.
My mom played smart.
Mom and Ms. Park prepared a lot of food.
You should hurry and go to your in-laws' house with it.
Thank you so much.
You really didn't have to do it.
Thank you.
Sung Ah...
is still a naive, young girl.
Please be her guide in your marriage life.
I will.
Mom, I'm not naive.
I'm not young either.
This cheeky attitude means that you're still young.
You punk.
Go ahead, and try me.
Hit me all you want.
Why can't you take Joo Yeon's heart?
You got the bar from Madam Jung, so you have enough money too.
You don't have to serve customers anymore.
Don't ask me anything,
and hit me.
Why do you keep shaking that poor girl's heart?
Why? Why?
Goodness.
I guess you got over your trauma.
I was really worried about today's scene.
I was worried too,
but I was fine once we started filming.
So you really got over it.
- Yes. - I'm proud of you.
What brings you here?
I have something to say to him.
I have nothing to say to you.
The suit will be dropped tomorrow.
I talked it over with my friend.
Now that I fell to the bottom,
I finally came to my senses a bit.
I'm sorry for everything.
Please forgive me.
It was highly possible to win the suit,
but I was worried since it wasn't good to get involved in a suit.
I'm glad.
Then you two will get married now?
Grandma.
Be a good daughter.
- Mom. - Yes?
Once the drama ends,
I'll marry him.
Will you?
Yes.
Goodness, how wonderful.
You're getting married before you grow too old for marriage.
Bum Woo, you're her savior.
Say something.
Try pinching my cheek.
It's real, so stop being so dazed.
Are we really getting married after the drama ends?
Yes.
I thought I had to wait for a long time.
It's thanks to your mother.
I want to say goodbye to her nicely,
but I don't know what I should do.
So I've thought of what I could do first.
But I know.
No parting can be done nicely.
I'm sending away someone whom I don't want to,
so there's no way...
that I can send her away nicely.
You're here.
Are you in a lot of pain?
It's bearable.
I'm staying with you for the time being.
- Will you? - Yes.
Father told me to.
He must feel lonely.
Later...
Later,
I'll stick by his side.
What brings you here?
Gil Joon snores too loudly. I can't stand it.
I'm staying here until he fixes his snoring habit.
What should I do with this immature girl?
Maybe he let you go so that you can stay with me.
By the way, what should you do? You might not be able to sleep now.
You know we're so talkative.
Do Hyun.
What are you talking about?
Hey, we saw it all.
I found out why you told me to go buy cold medicine.
That young girl caught a cold and was coughing so much.
- I couldn't ignore that. - You think we know nothing?
We can sense the mood between you two.
You definitely like Mi So.
I'm telling you that I don't.
I can't find the reason...
why you're insisting that you don't like her.
It's obvious.
He must be embarrassed to like someone else...
after crying out for Do Na so much.
Mi So isn't a bus to transfer.
- It's certain. - I know.
Do you feel satisfied now that you married off your youngest daughter?
Yes.
You must know,
but your son-in-law is a competent man.
Is that right?
Can't you see?
Things look overlapping.
Thank you.
If Dong Woo sees you like this,
he will feel so heartbroken.
- I'm sorry. - Right.
You should be very sorry to me.
I shouldn't have been friends with you.
I'm the one who asked if we could be friends, right?
Yes.
I guess you remember.
I remember that day very clearly.
I was crying all by myself...
after getting scolded by the director.
And that's when you came over and said this.
"Crying is losing."
How do you remember that?
I don't know.
There are times when I can't even remember...
my children's names.
But I remember that day very clearly.
Lara.
Don't die.
What are you going to do if I live?
We can think of that later.
I can't see you die.
I guess friends really are the best.
Dong Woo's here.
I called you here...
so that you could spend some more time with Lara.
My aunt's changed so much.
She must feel sorry for me.
Do you want to take a walk?
Get on my back.
Come on.
You're so light.
This is the last time you'll have to carry me like this.
Please promise me...
that you'll let me go once I leave.
I'm sorry. I don't think I can keep that promise.
Meet someone nice...
for my sake.
Okay.
I'll do that.
I'll meet someone nice...
so that I can forget you.
Okay.
Mom, let's shoot the next scene.
Mom.
Hey, Do Na.
Can't you hear me?
I guess...
things are getting worse.
I'm so sorry, Do Na.
Lara, let's shoot the next scene.
Okay, I'll be right out.
Do Na, I can hear.
I can hear again.
- Mom. - Yes?
I love you, Mom.
Do Na...
told me that she loves me.
You must've been so happy, Lara.
What?
I'm starting to have trouble hearing things now.
I guess it's so that...
you can talk more from now on.
I guess so.
I used to be so talkative back when we used to be married.
Back then,
just talking to you all day...
was enough to make me happy.
"I love..."
"you..."
"so much,"
"Lara."
It was incredible.
People lined up...
in long lines to get my autograph.
And so many people tried to hold my hand,
so I had to put ice on it to make the swelling go down.
Pop idols these days...
are nothing compared to how popular I used to be.
Do we need to listen to how popular you used to be all night?
I got over a thousand...
handwritten letters from men asking me to marry them.
No way. That's a bit too much.
She's right. I'd love to keep listening,
but your stories are starting to sound like a fat lie.
How pretty were you?
Actually, I probably got...
way more than a thousand letters.
Mom...
can't hear well.
Then what's going to happen to her?
That's why she keeps talking.
I feel so sorry for my mom.
But you still shouldn't cry in front of her.
- Sung Ah. - Hey, Mom.
Father.
Your dad wanted to visit.
I think he wants to hear you sing.
What are you talking about? I came here to show off.
Are you going to sing?
Sit down.
Let's see.
I can't wait.
Think of this as my mom's eyes,
- and smile as brightly as possible. - Okay.
1, 2, 3.
It looks good.
- It's the best photo of us. - Yes.
My mom will be happy to see it.
Do Na has to work tonight.
Her message says, "Goodnight, I miss you."
I must be a blessed person.
All my sons-in-law are so handsome.
Do Hyun.
I took the medicine you gave me and got over my cold.
That's good.
It must be because it's heartfelt medicine you got for me.
I'm not a pharmacist.
I just got it from a drugstore.
Come on.
Can't you answer me in a better way?
Later.
What... What do you mean?
Let's start dating from today.
From today?
I think I should rewrite everything except for Lara's scenes.
There is no tension in it.
It has enough tension.
No!
Also, there is no line that really strikes you.
They're all dull.
Did you finish filming?
Yes.
Writer Yoon, you want to rewrite the script?
Yes.
This is not good.
I should change everything I can.
You'll have to reshoot some scenes as well.
Writer Yoon.
There are many things I should change in the fifth episode too.
Writer Yoon!
I am...
a poor girl who will be losing her mom soon.
I don't have enough time to spend with my mom,
and you're telling me to reshoot everything?
Don't you have any compassion?
I cannot believe you.
Did I go overboard?
Also, she has a terrible temper.
I really need to rewrite it.
- Hello. - Gosh.
- Aren't you Lara? - Yes.
It's an honor to meet you.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
When I was a single man,
I had many sleepless nights because of you.
Right. Thank you.
I'm here to take a picture.
Yes. I will take a great picture of you for free.
What's the picture for?
I just need a picture of myself.
I see. You came to the right place.
This place may look shabby, but I'm a fantastic photographer.
She said...
your work looks exquisite. That's why we came here.
I see. I'm glad you did.
Please come this way.
Please make sure I look pretty.
Gosh, you always look pretty.
Still, I want to look really nice in this picture.
Okay, don't worry. You will.
All right. Let's get started.
1, 2.
I'm sorry for what I'm about to say.
Okay. Go ahead.
You're scaring me.
I don't want...
to be buried in your family graveyard.
Why not?
I just...
want to be cremated and buried under a tree.
Will you do that for me?
Okay.
I will.
I think it's...
her last consideration for you, Dong Woo.
She knows that if she gets buried...
in our family graveyard, it'd be hard for you to visit her.
A picture for the funeral and graveyard.
I guess she's really leaving us now.
I knew she'd leave us soon,
but I didn't really feel it.
Me neither.
When I watch her smile,
I still can't believe...
that she'll die soon.
You don't think I know that you're talking behind my back?
You know I only care about money.
Your life will be successful if you don't live like me.
Madam Jung.
Is your sickness really that bad?
Do you think I'm lying to you?
Cut. Okay.
Can I talk to you guys for a second?
- Are you okay? - Yes. I just got light-headed.
Director Ha!
Mom!
Mom.
Mom!
