[Curtain Call]
[General Manager Park Se Yeon]
You're pretty good at driving.
Have you thought about getting an international driving permit?
There's no need.
Why is it always "no need" with you?
I have a need for it, all right?
Are you dealing with some kind of issue?
Yeah, I don't want to drive around a cousin who knows how to drive.
I want my cousin to drive me around.
It's a road you've been on by yourself,
and soon...
you will have to drive on it by yourself again.
Putting up walls against me, I see.
Who would have known that I would receive in kind,
the way I've put up walls against men.
Don't laugh.
Yeah, let's say that you return to China.
Yeah, even if that happens,
there will be reasons for you to come back, whether it be
for holidays or Grandmother's memorial day.
Why are you trying to keep seeing a cousin
you didn't even know you had for most of your life?
It's because you make me happy. Why?
♫ Even when my clumsy regrets pass by ♫
Why would you be happy?
Then you're not happy?
Would you be able to live without seeing such a pretty noona
who's so nice to you like this?
♫ "Being alone is comfortable" ♫
♫ I say words that I don't even mean ♫
So, are you saying...
with your own lips telling me
- that you're pretty and attractive? - Hey, hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa! Look forward!
Gosh.
♫ Because I'm filled with guilt ♫
♫ Perhaps for a long time, that place can't be filled ♫
♫ I don't dislike it, looking back at my old self ♫
♫ I cover myself up with the memories that were warm and sleep ♫
Noona,
can I come in?
You already came in.
You're right.
A performance?
Yes.
I really want to
show it to Grandmother.
Really?
There are also many stories that you might find entertaining,
so I would really like for you to come and see it
with Grandmother.
All right.
I really hope I can go see it with Grandmother.
You can.
I'm sure you will be able to.
All right.
I want to...
show you, Noona...
who theatrical actor Yoo Jae Heon is,
and who I really am.
This is how you're supposed to start it, right?
Gosh, you don't need to come out like this.
All right then...
Hello, Mr. Yoo Jae Heon.
Hey, fake.
You still have business here?
If you're an actor,
then you should know to leave the stage
when the performance is over.
It's not over yet.
Must you watch the Chairwoman die
with your own eyes before you're satisfied?
Hey!
Don't you dare talk about it like that.
- Why? - It's not anything like what you're thinking,
so don't talk about it like that.
Is it because of Se Yeon?
Is that the reason?
It appears that you mistakenly believe that you are a somebody
because you were close to Se Yeon while acting as Rhee Moon Sung.
But you should know your place.
Yeah.
I am a fake.
I am a fake, but
I think I can finally tell you now.
I don't have to care about what you think anymore.
What did you say?
I am a theatrical actor.
If someone throws me a character like you,
it would take
only a day for me to analyze you.
Your character is way too simple.
Let me ask you properly.
Have you ever thought about
why you're so obsessed with
trying to marry her?
What did you say?
You've been living
all your life without any failures, and then one blemish appeared.
And to fix that blemish,
you're absolutely obsessing over marrying Se Yeon noona.
What do you think?
You thought your life would become perfect once you fixed that blemish,
but it feels like shit, right?
Do you know why you feel that way?
It's because
you love...
Se Yeon noona.
You can't even recognize your own feelings like an idiot.
Yet you're rashly pushing to fix the blemish on your life.
How could you be happy even after you attain your objective?
You are gravely mistaken.
What is it that you really want?
It's not Se Yeon noona.
It's Se Yeon noona's heart.
It's not too late.
Don't create an even bigger blemish and spend the rest of your life in torment and regret.
Fix it.
I'm telling you to start over.
That's it.
Jjajang, Jjajang.
What are you doing, sitting here?
Hey, did practice go well, even though I wasn't there?
Yeah, it went well.
I feel like this will be the last performance for me.
Jjajang...
- so you'll go to the US? - Yeah.
I've pushed it back as much as I could.
It's time for me to go now.
Yeah?
It felt like
the clock had stopped for a while.
You and Grandmother's house where we were staying.
But it feels like that clock has started ticking again.
And so,
I should restart my own clock that had stopped.
Geez, I just want to
smash that clock.
Will you do that for me?
Yeah. I'll smash it for you.
Will you really do that for me, Oppa?
I mean, I did say that confidently,
but is it something I can smash? How do I break it?
Forget it! I'm hungry.
You keep speaking nonsense.
Hurry up, I'm hungry!
Yeah, yeah, I'm coming.
Buy me tteokbokki!
[Doctor Ahn Woo Hyun]
Hello?
What!
Grandmother woke up?
How's her condition?
It's not good.
What are we doing here, then? Let's go!
Well, Grandmother is
looking for Moon Sung.
W-What?
What did you say? Moon Sung? Then take him.
Auntie, where's Moon Sung?
He's not here. He's not in his room, either.
He left a while back, and I haven't seen much of him lately.
Hyung, you talk with him on the phone sometimes. Hurry up and give him a call.
- I don't know where he is, either. - Before any of that,
I'd like all of us to think about it.
Would it be good to have
Rhee Moon Sung meet Grandmother right now?
What are you talking about?
Who would be the Moon Sung that Grandmother is thinking of?
Who would be better for Grandmother to meet?
For Grandmother, Moon Sung is-
That Moon Sung.
It's that Moon Sung.
And that's why
I think it would be good to call Jae Heon.
We can't hide the truth forever.
I think so, too.
Will you hide it until Grandmother passes away? Is that it?
No! I told you no.
I don't know, either.
Let's go.
Park Se Gyu!
I'm going to go for now.
What do we do?
Chairwoman.
They are coming.
Please rest easy.
Noona!
Noona.
What about Grandmother? Is she okay?
Listen carefully.
Today, you are Rhee Moon Sung.
What?
This is your last scene
acting as Rhee Moon Sung
in this theatrical performance.
You must feel so uncomfortable.
Should I tell them to remove this?
So stubborn.
Then keep it on. You need to live.
Let's go out,
so Grandmother can rest.
I'll be right in front.
Don't lift your hand. It takes energy.
You...
Oppa.
Grandmother.
I'm here.
Moon Sung.
Is it you, Moon Sung?
I almost...
just left again.
Leaving you behind...
without saying...
a few words of...
farewell to take care of yourself...
Grandmother...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Grandmother. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, Grandmother.
I am...
sorry that I am not Rhee Moon Sung.
You are not...
Rhee Moon Sung?
I'm sorry...
I already knew.
At a certain moment,
I found out.
That...
you are not...
Rhee Moon Sung.
Still,
I was able to see
how much you cared,
how much all of you cared about me,
so...
I pretended not to know.
Child.
What...
is your name?
My name is Yoo Jae Heon. Yoo Jae Heon.
Oh, I see.
It's Jae Heon.
Yes...
And your job?
I am an actor.
An actor...
I tried acting
for the first time in my life...
How was it?
Was it decent?
Yes.
While acting like
I didn't know in front of you guys,
I had this thought.
Acting like I didn't know when I knew...
Acting like I was happy when I wasn't...
Acting like I was okay...
even when I was in pain...
It turns out I, too,
was an actor.
Don't be...
too hard on yourself.
This grandmother
was happy...
because of you guys.
T-This is...
my...
honest truth.
Grandmother...
Grandmother, me, too.
I was happy, too.
I was happy, Grandmother.
There's something called a curtain call, Grandmother. A curtain call.
In a theatrical performance, when the performance is over,
a curtain call is when the actors thank the audience for coming to watch.
Grandmother, you need to
thank the people in the theatrical performance of your life.
You need to do your curtain call.
Curtain...
call?
Grandmother,
there is...
something I really want to
show you, Grandmother.
It is...
the only thing that I can show you, Grandmother.
You're going to come to see it for sure, right?
Grandmother, you will come and see it, right?
I will...
for sure...
Grandmother.
Grandmother?
Grandmother, wait!
Grandmother!
What am I supposed to do? Grandmother!
Oh, no, what... What do I do...
Grandmother...
What's wrong?
You can't come in.
Please wait here.
Please leave.
Check her vitals.
How is it? Is it normal?
What did you do?
Oppa!
Did you know...
Grandmother knew everything?
I see...
Yeah.
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
She said she was happy because of us.
So we shouldn't torment ourselves.
Did she really say that?
Yoon Hee.
There is one thing I didn't get to do.
I think...
I really need to do this.
How is Grandmother?
Lady Se Yeon...
How's Grandmother?
Did you know?
This huge house was completely empty. There's only one reason for that.
It's not like there were multiple reasons.
She's okay for now.
I would like for you to let me know next time.
Even though you guys may be strangers to me,
Grandmother is not.
Yes, Manager.
It's me.
Where are you?
I'm home.
Then Jae Heon,
let's have a drink together.
I'm reminded of when we first started this performance here.
While we were taking the passport photos...
One, two, three.
we were just enjoying ourselves,
thinking that the performance will turn out well.
Because of that memory, it's really tough right now
and it's painful.
Jae Heon.
I started...
this performance.
Come on.
It's what the two of us started.
No.
It was the first and last reckless bravado of my life
and a tantrum.
In any case,
thanks for being with me through it.
I mean, the guarantee
was ridiculously good.
So...
do you still have
some of that money left?
That money...
Where did it go?
In any case,
for sticking with me through it, thank you...
and I'm sorry.
Grandmother...
knew everything.
Even though she knew everything, she pretended not to know.
Why do you think she did that?
It's because she knew
with what kind of heart
you started all of this, Manager.
Grandmother understood, Manager.
You told me this once, Manager.
If the other person
doesn't know that something is a lie to the end,
then it wouldn't be a lie.
But...
sometimes,
even when the other person knows it's a lie,
it is still not a lie.
So...
Manager ahjussi,
don't torture yourself too much.
Thanks.
Jae Heon.
Let's have a drink.
Yes.
I have a request to make.
Help me to meet Rhee Moon Sung once.
Oh, Attorney.
Oh, yes.
If you're here regarding the Chairwoman's inheritance issue,
none of the family members are here, so come back at a later time...
No.
I came to see the two of you today.
There are no changes with regard to the inheritance or the shares.
Please get things ready, so we can
proceed with the sales process as soon as we finish the legal review.
When we are ready to finalize the sale,
I'll let you know right away.
The fake...
will pass onto Se Yeon unconditionally
everything he receives from his grandmother.
And even though she knows he's fake,
Se Yeon will go along
with the performance to protect the hotel.
But if the real cousin were to appear at that moment?
I'm curious to know the real Rhee Moon Sung's decision.
That's why I asked you to meet with me,
the real Rhee Moon Sung.
There's no reason for me to tell you
just because you're curious.
This is South Korea.
It's different from North Korea, where you used to live.
Nothing is free in capitalism.
My answer is simple.
If I can just destroy this hotel and cause...
Grandmother to fall into despair,
then I would side with anyone
and do whatever it takes.
So...
was that a good enough answer for you,
you curious man?
So what are you going to do,
Park Se Yeon?
You know Rhee Moon Sung is on my side, right?
No matter what you do now, you can't stop me.
Rhee Moon Sung.
Come outside with me for a bit.
Isn't it polite to state your business first?
It's not me,
but someone else wants to meet with you.
You guys have your conversation.
Thank you.
We met last time, right?
Yeah.
I remember.
You were that compatriot.
Yes, well... Compatriot...
Thinking about it,
I guess our acquaintance is a bit weird
since I met Rhee Moon Sung
as Rhee Moon Sung.
Since Rhee Moon Sung and Rhee Moon Sung met...
My name is Yoo Jae Heon.
My name is Seo Yoon Hee.
What business do you have with me?
I had something to talk to you about.
Something to talk about?
Something to talk about, you say...
Everyone who wants to see me in South Korea
all ask me to do something or not do something...
and then they give me money...
after only saying what they've got to say.
Nobody really cares about what I want.
A capitalist society is truly different.
Don't you think so?
So...
did you guys...
come carrying piles of cash? Yeah?
What do you want me to do for you?
Tell me about it.
I wanted to tell you about Grandmother.
What?
I ended up spending the time with Grandmother
that you should have in your place.
I thought it would be good to tell you about
how my time with Grandmother was.
The time that you should have spent with her...
Aren't you curious about it?
What is this?
Grandmother...
built the hotel by selling rice soup like this.
I guess your grandfather told her
that he'll come to find her and to wait for him.
Since all she knew how to do was make rice soup,
so she waited for him
selling this rice soup.
When I first came to this house,
Grandmother personally made this rice soup for me.
It was so good.
I guess she really wanted to have you try
the rice soup she personally made, Rhee Moon Sung.
So...
try it.
- You eat, too. - Oh, yeah.
How is it?
Isn't it really good?
So, what about you?
Excuse me?
If this comrade is me, then who are you?
Well, I am...
If he's Rhee Moon Sung,
then I am...
Jang Jin Sook.
Your wife...
Well, your wife...
The one you're married to...
Well, the thing is...
For Grandmother-
My wife is...
not ugly like this girl.
She's way more feminine and beautiful.
Wow, you speak really funny, don't you?
What's wrong with me in any way?
A bunch of guys on the other side of the globe says they like me! Okay?
You sprayed food everywhere.
I'm sorry.
Do you remember this moment?
A bit.
You were cute when you were younger
even though there's no trace of that cuteness left now.
What?
Grandmother's hands that I held then...
That touch...
♫ In the breaking tides ♫
Although I don't remember the rest,
I remember that touch.
♫ Like a boulder, I remain here ♫
♫ Remembering you from that day ♫
He was the first customer to stay a night.
I guess he came to see her multiple times over the years.
Even though he knew that Grandmother
was waiting there for her family to return,
he was someone who protected and loved her.
♫ You are cold like the sea ♫
♫ Seeming distant though not so ♫
♫ Whenever I approach you, you begin to disappear slowly ♫
♫ Remembering you from that day ♫
♫ In the breaking tides ♫
♫ In my wounded state, like a boulder... ♫
Moon Sung...
Have you been well, Co-sister-in-law?
Oh, right.
What am I supposed to call you now?
Unni.
Hey, get in.
Hey.
Wear your seat belt.
The thing next to you. Pull it down and fasten it.
But why are you speaking without honorifics?
You spoke to me that way from the beginning.
What?
Hey.
Our ages are similar...
and come on, do we have an ordinary relationship?
Our relationship is special.
Kind of like a hermaphrodite of sorts?
I can drop the honorifics, right?
Hey, come on. People of similar ages drop honorifics and become friends.
I've done my research.
You guys do that in North Korea, too.
They say it's the same in South Korea and North Korea. It's the same everywhere.
You're quite the funny one, aren't you?
Look at this guy.
I've already finished analyzing a character like you.
You muttering like that?
That means approval.
Isn't that right?
No?
Let's go.
Where?
I wanted to tell you the truth,
but I'm sorry you had to find out like this, Unni.
When I first learned that you were a fake,
do you know what the first thought that came to mind was?
What a shame...
that I have to lose a close friend.
Did I...
lose you?
No, Unni.
I want to continue to have a close relationship with you, Unni.
Really?
Yes.
Then...
could you tell me your number?
- Yes. - Your number, your number.
- Right here. - Me, too.
But isn't this so weird?
I thought we got as close as we could,
but I don't know anything about you.
That's true...
Tell me about you.
Excuse me?
Who are you?
Who are you? Huh?
I don't know where to start.
I want to know everything from the very beginning.
From A to Z, all of it.
Just in case
you guys might come,
she supposedly came here whenever she got the chance
for several decades.
She always imagined here
you crossing the sea,
coming in on a boat over the horizon.
I know.
Can't you come with us?
Moon Sung.
Next year,
let's meet here again, no matter what.
Let's promise.
Like this...
Grandma, we're going to meet again.
My name is Rhee Moon Sung.
Don't forget, okay?
All right. Cheers.
What are you doing? Drink!
Oh, you're...
not good...
with alcohol, huh?
Aigoo...
you look like you would chug a crate or two.
Kind of cute, aren't you?
If you're not going to drink it, then I will!
Here!
How did you end up doing it?
- What do you mean? - Acting as me.
How did you end up doing it?
It is so that
we can make...
It's to make Grandmother happy.
Is that the only reason?
This is...
something I'm only telling you.
I've told nobody else about this!
Nobody!
You bastard,
you lived with your father.
I...
don't even know my parents' faces.
In an amusement park,
I remember...
sitting all alone.
That feeling.
Geez, it's so annoying, but that's all I remember.
And so,
I wondered what it would feel like
to reunite with your long-lost family.
That's what I was curious about.
But, just a tad bit...
I think I'm able to know
just a little bit.
Stop drinking.
Fine.
I won't, I won't!
For me.
For you.
For the two
Rhee Moon Sungs.
Rhee Moon Sung...
♫ We, we, we loved each other ♫
Whoa! Geez!
Rhee Moon Sung.
Hey, Rhee Moon Sung!
What?
Don't hate...
Grandmother.
You bastard.
Geez, let go! I can walk by myself. I can walk.
Gosh...
Damn it.
♫ What we can't forget are our good memories ♫
I guess I can't...
Get on my back.
Get on my back!
Get on my back.
Gosh, come on.
I can walk.
I told you, I can walk!
♫ Not each other, for us ♫
Ahjussi.
Why did you come out instead of sleeping?
I couldn't fall asleep.
I see.
What about you, Ahjussi?
I couldn't fall asleep, either.
Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
Is Jae Heon doing okay?
Yeah.
He said he wanted to meet with Rhee Moon Sung.
With Moon Sung?
So,
I helped them to meet.
Then are they together right now?
Well, they should be together right now.
He's really trying.
Even though it's not his business anymore...
For Jae Heon,
he probably feels like it is his business.
What?
He tries so hard when it's someone else's business,
but I don't know what I should do.
I want to protect everything.
Whether it's Grandmother or the hotel.
I can't fall asleep worrying about the possibility
that I won't be able to protect them.
After looking over it, we'll proceed if you find no problems with it.
You may leave.
[Wedding Invitation for Bae Dong Je and Park Se Yeon]
In the end, you've managed to get her.
But how long have you two known each other?
We met for the first time in elementary school,
so it's been over 20 years.
Then, have you guys been dating since then?
Wow, 20 years...
It means it's been 20 years since I've known the existence of Bae Dong Je.
By chance,
did you two not date at all?
Oh, that... well...
None of the family members are here.
So I'm the only one in the house.
There's no cash or valuables in the house.
You won't gain anything from trying to get into the house,
aside from being caught by the CCTV.
You definitely resemble the members of this family
than the fake Rhee Moon Sung.
Is it fun playing the role of a puppet?
Using someone else's name...
So you should have lived properly.
Do you think the person who chose to spend a large sum of money
to put on a performance like this when the actual grandson is alive and well,
or the fakes who are living scared every day to play their parts
would be completely happy?
You probably did it for the money.
Ahjussi, who served the Chairwoman by her side all his life,
gave us the last of his life savings to
play the role of her grandson and his wife.
For several years, he spent so much money searching for you,
and he gathered the rest of his savings
to have us put on this performance.
Are you saying that happened because he couldn't find me?
It's because he found you.
By chance, do you know
how your grandmother and grandfather got separated?
He couldn't board the ship while trying to save a random child.
Young Hoon's father!
Since you're the descendant of a man like that,
he must have been convinced that you'd have grown up proper
even while living a harsh life.
But you've...
lived such a violent life.
Watch what you say.
He wondered if he should tell her this
when she had only three months left to live.
But she wanted to see you so badly.
That's how this performance began.
Have you ever starved?
What did you say?
Have you ever starved for several days straight?
When you starve to the point where you have no strength
to recover a dead body floating down the river
or run away from it out of fear...
When you see your loved one starving to death next to you,
do you think there's anything you won't do?
Are you telling me that the morons who rack their brains to eat something tastier
could tell us that we should live upright
even if we have to eat dirt?
Does that make any sense?
If the remaining three months of a 92-year-old grandmother are so precious,
how would I feel about a woman, who's less than 30 years old,
drawing nearer to death by the day?
Gosh... Hey.
I drank way too much yesterday.
Are you okay?
Geez, whining after only drinking that...
How will you function like that?
Geez, seriously. Hey.
You drank one glass while I was drinking two, right?
Why?
Did I...
make a mistake?
Your very presence is a mistake, you got that?
Come on, it's not that big of a deal to take care of me once.
I mean, you look pretty strong.
I can't believe you're making a big deal about helping me out a little bit.
Geez.
Let's go.
Where are we going now?
It's the last place.
Come on, hurry up.
This was the place I came to with Grandmother during our last trip.
Grandmother told me this.
I've...
waited a long time
for you and your father.
But...
I never thought about how you guys also
would have waited for me to come.
That thought never crossed my mind.
She said that
only then did she realize that.
Grandmother...
always...
felt sorry
and grateful
to Moon Sung.
To you.
I'm done with what I have to tell you.
It's up to this point.
Let's stay here for a bit before we leave.
♫ Someone that I shouldn't love ♫
♫ That person is you ♫
♫ Although I can't tell you all these words I've hidden in my heart ♫
♫ One day not too close but not too far ♫
♫ Holding you in my arms ♫
♫ Will I be able to tell you I love you, the words that I want to say ♫
[Curtain Call]
I've had much time to think,
but I don't know what more to say.
Moon Sung.
Thank you so much.
The date set for our performance,
and our theater rental period is coming to an end...
We'll do this performance, no matter what!
There are a lot of issues with this.
Let's go.
There's a place I must go...
So let's all go together.
Grandmother, you can definitely come to see it, right?
♫ Perhaps we must separate in secret ♫
