(Here's My Plan: Episode 1)
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
- Oh, no. - Oh, no.
Goodness.
Gosh. Here.
Thank you.
- Keep up with your studies. - Thanks.
Sometimes, I feel like...
things are going more smoothly than usual.
- Whenever I feel that way, - Excuse me.
Most of the time, it didn't end well.
At least it's been like that in my life.
Darn it.
Hey, you! Wait!
Hey!
You!
Come here, you little punk!
Get her! She's a thief!
- Stop! - Hey!
Move! Get out of the way!
She's a thief! Get her!
She's a thief!
Gosh! Move!
Hey! Hey!
How dare you smile! Hey!
My gosh! Somebody please catch her!
Hey! Stop there! You little...
I must catch her! She's a thief!
She's a thief! Please catch her!
How dare you!
Hey! She's a thief!
She's a thief! Hey!
Wait! Stop!
Hey! Thief! Wait there! Hey!
Hey! Thief!
No, wait! Stop!
Wait! You can't do this to me!
Wait! No! Hey!
She's a thief!
Wait there!
Hey! Stop there!
Hey! Wait!
Stop! Hey!
Don't go! Hold on!
You'd better wait there.
(Turn Off)
- There's no one here. - You're right.
What are the cops doing here?
So you're saying she went into this bathroom.
Yes. You should hurry and check inside.
Could you tell us how she looked?
She's about this tall and a little skinny.
Right. She's wearing a school uniform.
She's wearing a red check skirt.
- Where's the control center? - Why do you ask?
- Darn it. - To check the CCTV.
There's no need to.
She went right in there.
That pickpocket stole my phone...
on the footbridge.
That's why I ran here. To catch her.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing, So Hyun? There's no time.
Come on. Money first.
We can't just arrest her.
We will check the CCTV first.
That CCTV doesn't belong to this station,
so it will take some time to check the footage.
She might run away while you check it.
I'm 100 percent sure. 100 percent.
She put her hand in here,
stole my phone, and went in there.
Follow me.
Come on.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
You should hurry and catch her.
We will. She just went inside.
- I should go in myself and... - No, wait.
- My phone... - Okay.
What if she does something with my phone?
But that day,
I broke the jinx.
(The competition for secondhand phones is more intense this year.)
250, 300, 350, 400.
450, 500 dollars.
You're quite unique.
Why do you wear the school uniform when you quit school?
I rarely fall under suspicion in the uniform.
- And it's comfortable. - That's a lie.
School uniforms are the most uncomfortable clothes.
I just don't want to throw them away because it cost me a lot.
I should wear them as much as others do.
I agree that school uniforms are unreasonably expensive.
Anyway,
you're the most calculative person I know.
1,650, 1,700, 1,750, and 1,800 dollars.
Here.
- What about the house? - I got it.
Thanks.
Why does it have to be that place?
- It was really dark. - No reason.
And why did you ask me...
to take care of it when you're a grown-up yourself?
No reason.
Will you stop saying that?
You sound insincere.
- I know. - Why did you leave home?
Because...
I don't need a family.
I'm leaving home.
Now you can have it your way in this house.
And I will live on my own.
- Why are you staring at me? - I'm proud.
You've already realized the truth of life.
You are a lot more mature than I am.
- You think? - Of course.
Hey, there's no need for a family.
Think of my parents.
Now that they're divorced,
they should go separate ways happily.
But they failed to do so and gave me hard times.
I tried living with both of them,
but I'm better off now without them.
There's no reason we can't live on our own.
Exactly.
It's all paid.
Can I move in right away?
Sure.
Hang on.
I can't give you the key before I get the money.
My goodness.
How much is the rent?
It's 23 dollars.
- Thank you. - Please enjoy it.
Cho Yoon Ho?
It's you.
Gosh, how many years has it been?
How are things going out of school?
Do you like it?
Yes. I'm doing just fine.
Okay. I'll see you later then.
(Do Jun Sik)
Wait, Jun Sik.
Well...
- Do you want some chicken? - What?
Hop on. It's on me.
I'm afraid you should go. This is for two people.
I guess you're making good money.
I'm sorry though. Maybe next time.
My friends are waiting.
Bye.
Let's go.
Gosh.
Darn it.
- Darn. - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Gosh. - Hey.
Go easy on him.
- Easy? - Easy?
- I didn't think so. - I'm sorry.
Hey!
You, go home.
(Do Jun Sik)
I have no happy memory...
of living with Mom.
Mom in my memory was always drunk.
And I hate it to death.
When I was fed up with Mom being like that,
I talked about Dad.
Did Dad like to drink too?
Before he died,
was he an alcoholic like you are now?
Every time I talked about Dad,
Mom avoided me.
Do you want to know why I decided to leave home?
After putting up with her for 19 years?
- Darn it. - You punk.
- Gosh. - Move over, you idiot.
Stop it.
- How dare you? - You punk.
Gosh.
You jerk.
Darn it.
Hey!
Grab him.
Come here.
I knew it all along.
That life isn't something you can easily escape from...
just because you struggle.
Stop watching and go on your way.
You're the one who's standing in my way.
Go ahead and do what you were doing.
I'm not interested.
You don't want to report to the police.
Let go of me...
before I report you for sexual harassment.
(28, Ian-ro 14-gil, Eunbong-gu, Seoul)
- The rent for this place is... - 500 dollars.
She's a fraud.
If you ask me why I left home...
knowing the dirty reality...
It was because of that house.
(A month ago)
Why do you need the money?
No reason.
I just need it for now.
Do I have to tell you what I need this for?
I have nothing else to say. Go.
That's when I recalled...
the memory I had forgotten the whole time.
Then I realized...
that he's my dad.
My mom said that he died...
in a tragic accident when I was young.
There isn't a single photo of him at home,
so I've lived without knowing...
how he looks or how he sounds.
Wait, wait!
Thank you.
Transferring.
I wanted to know...
why they lied to me.
- Hey, kid. - Yes?
Do you have something to say to me?
- Sorry? - You've been staring at me.
Well...
I thought you were someone I knew.
I'm sorry.
But...
it seemed like he didn't really want to know about me.
So Dad was alive.
When I realized that he didn't leave this world...
but just abandoned me,
I set a new goal.
To take revenge on him.
It was the 1st goal I had in the 19 years of my life.
Come up the hill a little more. Over here!
(Happy Fried Chicken)
Yoon Ho!
What happened?
Are you okay? Let me see.
I asked if you were okay.
I'm fine, but the motorcycle broke down.
We can always fix that.
How did this happen?
I got nosy again.
My goodness.
Delivery!
Just put it down there. Thank you.
Please hold on.
- Wait, he's... - You can't even fight well,
so why did you get involved?
Things looked bad, so...
The boy who was beaten to a pulp is Dad's son?
Then he's my stepbrother?
- Son! - Grandma!
- You're here. - "Grandma?"
If she's that punk's grandma, then that makes her my grandma.
I suddenly gained three new family members.
- It gave me the chills. - Mother!
- "Mother?" - Why did you come out here?
My son is here.
"Mother" is too rigid for a daughter to call her mom.
Then is she her daughter-in-law?
If she's Grandma's daughter-in-law, then she's Dad's...
She's my stepmom?
This is insane.
Don't worry, and take a full rest.
I'm off! See you.
- See you later. - Don't skip meals.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Hi. You're the boy who got beaten in the alley earlier, right?
Wait, can we talk?
You don't seem that busy.
Aren't you even sorry?
About what?
If you called the police earlier,
- I wouldn't be... - By the way,
is he your dad?
- What? - The guy who just left.
Is he your dad?
Don't change the topic, and don't talk casually to me.
It's not like we know each other.
How old are you?
- 19. - Me too. Let's be friends.
So he is your dad.
Is the woman who was with Grandma your mom?
No.
- What do you mean? - You're wrong about them.
They're not my mom and dad.
Then who are they?
It's none of your business.
We're friends,
so can't you tell me that much?
We don't even know each other.
I just asked to be your friend,
and you started talking casually to me.
That means we're friends.
You're impossible to talk to.
If I did call the police,
do you think you could've run away?
I think we both would've been beaten by them.
Even if I can go back to that moment,
I'll walk away again as fast as I can.
The guy is the owner of the chicken place I work at.
And the lady is a caregiver who's looking after my grandma.
I see.
Are you happy now? Let's not be friends.
He's not Dad's son, but he's an acquaintance.
So I thought I should get along with him.
Hey!
Do you want to go out with me?
I went too far.
I could tell from his face.
What?
Well... Sorry.
Forget what I just said.
Let me treat you to a meal since I'm sorry.
Come down.
(Teachers' Lounge)
Do you know her?
Her uniform seems to belong to this school.
It's So Hyun.
But she dropped out of school last year.
What's the matter?
We need to see her for a case.
Can you get hold of her?
- 1,000 dollars. - Call. Adding 2,000 dollars more.
It's a full house!
- I knew it. - Give them to me.
- Darn it. - They're all mine.
- You're such a hothead. - What are you doing?
- Darn it. - Wow, you won!
- You're so annoying. - Gosh.
Aren't you two cutting a sweetheart deal?
- What are you talking about? - Are you crazy?
- Sit back down! - Sit down.
- Is anyone home? - Mister, hurry up.
- This is the police! - We don't have much time.
- Let's go! - My gosh!
Oh, my.
What's going on?
Is this where Lee So Hyun lives?
It is, but she's not home at the moment.
Could we perhaps take a look inside?
Don't you need... You know, a warrant?
- Thank you. - Have a good day.
I live alone, and I just moved here.
You don't go to school, right? Me neither.
Earlier, you said that the lady was a caregiver.
Is there no one to care for your grandma?
Your parents aren't in the picture.
How old is your grandmother?
Is she sick in any way?
Is the food that delicious?
She has dementia.
I see.
So that's why she called you her son earlier.
That guy runs a fried chicken restaurant?
You two seemed close.
He must be a good boss.
Is he married?
What is it do you want to know?
Well...
I just want to know my neighbors better.
He lives alone.
- Oh, I see. - Can I ask you something too?
- Go ahead. - Your name.
It's Choi Hee Jin.
- What about you? - It's Cho Yoon Ho.
That's it?
What do you mean?
Is that all you want to know about me?
"Why do you live alone? What about your parents?"
"Why aren't you in school?"
- Those... - I couldn't care less,
so don't ask about me either.
It's like I said.
You have the wrong person.
You can't get hold of your child?
- I had no idea. - I've been wrongfully accused.
- You have it all wrong. - Gosh.
Him and him, okay?
- This is nonsense. - How does it make any sense anyway?
Why are you looking for my daughter anyway?
She's been accused of pickpocketing.
Are you kidding me?
I see you weren't a good influence.
Just hear me out, will you?
Will you shut it?
- Seriously? - Keep it down!
- But this is wrong. - It wasn't me, darn it!
- I... - Just lock them all up.
Does that mean you've forgiven me now?
You still haven't?
If you had reported the beating,
I wouldn't have been this hurt.
You sure are one to hold a grudge.
I'm just saying that reaching out to someone first...
could remedy a situation,
not make it worse for both parties.
Plausible, but still wrong.
I regret eating with you.
That's rich for someone who cleared his bowl.
By the way, how much is your monthly rent?
The house is ours.
I see.
The studio apartments in the neighborhood...
are in a similar price range, right?
It's about 300 dollars a month.
I was duped.
Were you duped?
What?
Well, something like that.
It's a complicated story.
How much?
What good would telling you do?
Even if you offer to help, this is an unsolvable matter.
Apply for a job at the fried chicken joint I work at.
Because of what happened to me,
it'll need a new delivery guy.
The work's not bad, and the owner's nice.
- That's how it is with kids. - Right.
They never listen.
Here's the half-and-half you ordered.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Could we get another jug of beer?
- Sure, it'll be right out. - Thanks.
Hello, this is Happy Fried Chicken.
Yes, of course.
Building 105, Unit 203.
Half-and-half with extra pickles.
I'm afraid the orders are backed up at the moment.
Are you okay with a 50-minute wait?
Sure thing. Thank you.
House number 231, please.
What took you so long? Take those two over there.
Please hurry.
(Happy Fried Chicken)
Happy Fried Chicken?
How tacky.
- So what's going on? - I said I had nothing to say.
- Stay out of my life. - I'm home!
Oh, you're back.
You sure have changed...
I feel terrible about your arm.
Don't be, it's not as bad as it looks.
- You should head home. - Sure.
Take good care of yourself.
Mother, I'm heading home. Your son's here now.
I'll let her know.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - Sure.
- Get home safely. - There's no need to see me out.
Good night!
- At least this... - See you tomorrow.
- Sure. - Gosh.
I'm sure she'll understand.
Grandma, I'm home.
How was your day? Did you have fun?
Be quiet, will you? I'm trying to watch that.
Got it.
Can you turn up the volume?
What do you think you're doing?
Yes, of course that's doable.
I'm sorry, but we only have Korean beer.
So two bottles of that...
- with half-and-half soy sauce. - Darn, who on earth is it?
3 orders in the last 10 minutes.
It'll be hard work.
Forget it.
(Happy Fried Chicken)
(Passed)
(Motorized Bicycle License: Lee So Hyun)
Thank you.
(Online Renewal or Replacement)
Make me a new one under a fake name.
Choi Hee Jin.
But that's my name.
It's the only name I could think of.
Let me borrow it for a while.
Sure. It'll take a day and will cost you 200 dollars.
200 dollars?
You lied to me about the rent.
500 dollars for a place like that?
That was a low blow.
I had to buy some stuff to move. I'm short of money.
You can cut me some slack this time.
Gosh, you'll make money soon.
I was almost caught, you know.
I have to stay quiet for a while.
Okay. I'll make it for 100 dollars.
- You can come tomorrow. - Okay.
We're not open yet.
We open at 2 p.m.
(Choi Hee Jin)
Choi Hee Jin.
- Yes. - You're born in 2003.
- Are you 19? - Yes.
You're Yoon Ho's friend, right?
Yes.
Well then. You can start tomorrow.
Okay. Thank you. I'll work hard.
- Don't work too hard. - Pardon?
It'll be unusual to work too hard at your age.
I know that because I used to help my dad before.
Back then,
I even bunked off a lot.
Anyway, safety is my first priority. Keep that in mind.
And you can't wear a school uniform while working, you know that?
Wear something comfortable.
I'm most comfortable in it.
But you should drive a motorcycle.
Yoon Ho will serve in the hall for a while.
If you have any questions, ask him.
He's been working with me since I opened this place.
He knows about the store inside out.
By the way,
have we met before?
No, we haven't.
You said you're new in town, right?
Yes.
Forget it.
I should get ready for the business.
I should prepare for the business.
(Happy Fried Chicken)
It's your key. Take good care of it. Make sure you don't lose it.
Drive around the neighborhood. Think of it as practice.
You must be unfamiliar with this neighborhood.
Okay.
I've never felt that kind of feeling before.
It cooled me down to the bone.
My gosh. It almost killed me.
Anyway, I thought it was a good idea to take the delivery job.
(Call)
We're Happy Fried Chicken. It'll be 15 dollars.
We didn't order chicken.
Isn't this unit 301?
No, it's not.
- Did you order chicken? - Right.
Here. It'll be 20 dollars.
(Happy Fried Chicken)
Thank you. Goodbye.
Okay, thank you.
I'm back.
Hee Jin, there are two deliveries in front of the door.
Bring them together since they're close by.
Got it.
I'll be back.
Okay, drive safely.
What kind of person is Dad?
I had to find out.
(Lee So Hyun)
The fact he's been keeping this...
doesn't change anything.
(Passport)
(Lee Jae Young)
But still, I thought he didn't hate me after all.
Then why hasn't he come to visit me once?
What are you thinking?
No, it's nothing.
How do you like the food?
How about we have a get-together?
- A get-together? - Right.
We didn't welcome Hee Jin properly.
Sales have increased a bit lately.
I'm also grateful for you guys' hard work.
I'd like that.
What are we going to eat that day?
Suddenly, this thought came to my mind.
Maybe the only reason we ended up like this...
is because of mom.
- What if he didn't have any choice? - I like anything but chicken.
(Mom)
When are you coming home?
(So Hyun)
(1 missed call)
Here. It's your new number.
Do whatever you want with the old phone.
Even if you sell it, you won't get paid much.
What can I get you?
- We'll have draft beer and... - A coke, please.
- Okay. - Hey.
Just have a drink.
You said you feel down.
I'm not into drinking.
Then why are you even here if you're not going to drink?
What's the point of drinking alone? You should join me.
- My gosh. - Hee Jin.
Why? Are you going to drink?
I've got this problem.
There's a person who has a bunch of problems,
and the other person seems innocent.
What are the chances they are both at fault?
What are you talking about? Who's the problem?
Why is it so complicated?
Right.
It's too early to conclude...
that the other has no problem.
What about the thing I asked you for the other day?
- That guy? - Yes.
I've been shadowing him for three days, but nothing special.
There was nothing to look into.
He lives right in front of your place.
Is that why you insisted on moving in there?
Can you check his criminal record?
Like a history of violence or gambling.
Drunk driving or murder.
Just any issues.
How would I find that out...
with the information you got me?
All I can do is check his identity,
figure out what he does,
and take some photos of him.
He didn't commit any crime for the past few days.
You scored though.
I'll get going. Your grandson is here.
Is there any chance...
you can look after her a little longer tomorrow?
Why?
I'm having dinner with Mr. Lee and Hee Jin tomorrow.
- Hee Jin? - You startled me.
You mean that wench from the house of the guy next door?
What?
I saw her sneak out of the house.
She sneaked into the empty house and left...
on a bike.
What are you talking about?
The chicken restaurant's bike.
What about tomorrow?
We're having dinner together tomorrow.
So I'm coming home late. Would that be okay?
No problem. Take your time.
- Thank you. - I'm leaving, Mother.
- See you. - Bye.
Why does it have to be me?
- She's a bad girl, right? - Yes.
She's a mean wench.
That darn wench.
Cheers.
This is nice.
- Eat a lot. - Okay.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you.
It tastes good with mushrooms.
Thanks.
All right.
Oh, right. Mr. Lee.
I have a question.
What is it?
You're not married, are you?
Married?
I'm not.
I guess I couldn't get married.
Are you seeing anyone?
- What? - Are you seeing anyone?
Are you?
Why do you ask?
I'm just asking because my aunt is single.
I think she's about your age.
She's really nice, so I was wondering if you were interested.
And the caregiver for Yoon Ho's grandma is beautiful.
She seems nice as well.
I think you two will make a cute couple.
I guess you saw something.
Actually...
I've been seeing Bok Hee.
It's not something I have to hide.
It's not wrong.
If you hid that you have a 19-year-old child,
that would be wrong.
I was embarrassed to say that to Yoon Ho.
Gosh, it's all right.
I'm happy for you.
Thanks.
I just asked because I wanted...
to set you up with my aunt. That's too bad.
I guess Hee Jin likes me a lot.
- Are you happy? - What?
I wonder if you're happy.
I am.
I have no reason not to be happy.
The second I heard the answer,
it became clear to me.
I'm glad that I left home.
My plan isn't all meaningless.
(So Hyun)
The number you have dialed is not in service.
Please check the number, and try again.
The number you have dialed is not in service.
Please check the number, and try again.
To my dad who's the cause of my misfortune.
I'm going to make his life just as miserable as mine.
My plan is to take vengeance on him.
So is that why you did such a thing?
Yes.
Hey, what are you doing?
- What's up with you? - Hee Jin.
Why do people drink this?
You know what?
I hate alcohol the most.
And my mom.
And you.
Gosh, she's so heavy.
How much did she drink?
I'm almost there.
Gosh.
Darn it.
Key.
Hee Jin, where's your key?
You're not asleep.
Gosh.
This is killing me.
You should never drink again.
Darn it. What was that?
Cho Yoon Ho.
Are you happy?
What are you saying?
You're drunk. Just sleep.
Are you happy living with your grandma?
Your grandma has dementia.
And she costs a lot of money.
She only gives you a lot of work.
"I'd rather live alone."
"I don't need a family."
Did you ever not feel that way?
I guess you're unhappy.
I'm happy.
Or maybe not.
I'm not sure.
Am I really happy?
What is it like to be happy?
Anyway, I don't want to be alone.
My grandma has dementia,
she causes me a lot of work,
and she costs a lot of money,
but I can't live...
without her.
Hey, now that you've brought it up, let me ask you something.
Why do you live alone here?
You said you have an aunt.
And it seems like you have a mom.
Did you run away from home?
This is ridiculous.
You said you don't want to know anything like that.
So you didn't want me to ask you anything.
Right.
Fine.
When you said you'd buy me a meal,
do you know why I let you do that?
Do you know why...
I hooked you up with the part-time job...
when our first encounter was horrible?
When you smiled,
you looked so lonely.
That's why I did that.
I thought you'd change if I offered my hand...
to you.
You're annoying.
Aren't you leaving? I'm going to wash.
Are you going to stay here?
What? You told me to stay.
I was going to leave anyway. This is ridiculous.
Wait!
What? You told me to leave.
Hold on. Well...
Then why didn't you say yes when I asked you out?
What?
You said I looked lonely.
I guess you really didn't want to go out with me.
Maybe I'm just a friend to you whom you can share a meal with.
- That's not what I meant. - Then what did you mean?
I have to go. It's getting late.
I think...
I need to hear your answer.
I used him for my plan.
I was sure that things will work out according to my plan.
Everything was going smoothly,
and I had finally broken the jinx.
(Here's My Plan)
I thought things will get a lot easier if I used Yoon Ho.
Can I drop by your place before going to work?
She looks suspicious.
I saw a person leaving the house of the guy who lives right across.
What brings you here?
Because I heard my friend's daughter ran away from home.
Have you heard of someone named Lee So Hyun?
