- Do Hee. - Dad.
How have you been?
It's okay.
Hi, Chi Won.
How have you been?
I've been good.
- How about nengmyeon? - Okay.
(Is the Past Really Powerless?)
(6 hours earlier)
- Not there. Here. - Here?
Is that for real?
Mr. Nam and Chang Soo got into a brawl?
- Why? - Who knows?
Everyone was drunk at the time.
I don't understand why we ended up like this.
It's obvious, isn't it?
Chang Soo got drunk and started it.
True. He's been bitter at Mr. Nam.
Even still, unless he lost his mind,
how could he throw a punch at the managing director?
But...
what could make them fight while having a good time?
It's not like they were fighting over a girl.
Yoon Yi.
- Yes? - Do you know anything...
about last night?
No. I was too drunk too.
I don't remember...
That's right. Of course, she doesn't know.
My shoulders...
- He's coming. - Gosh.
My gosh.
You! You're really...
You punk!
What is it?
Are you tired?
Good luck.
Are you feeling better?
Here is some honey tea.
Thank you.
- What is it? - Well...
There is a bruise on your face.
It makes me sad,
but it's still cool.
You're like a rebel.
It's kind of sexy.
Sexy?
Don't you want to come watch me box sometime?
No, thank you.
What? Why not?
You'd have to take off your glasses for it.
I like you...
in this intelligent face.
What?
Is that a diss or a compliment?
If I take off my glasses...
and wear the headgear...
It's a diss.
Yoon Yi.
Are you mad at me?
I didn't drink that much last night,
but I wasn't feeling well.
Please, I'm begging you.
You need to stop drinking.
- What? - That's your problem.
You let your temper take over,
then blame it on the alcohol.
If that doesn't work,
then you run away like a coward.
It's something you need to fix.
Come in.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I won't be a coward and blame it on alcohol.
I'll write an apology letter if you want,
and I can go on business trips too.
Woo Chang Soo.
Yes?
You should resign.
If this happens again,
you will really have to resign.
Okay.
I understand.
Also,
don't embarrass Yoon Yi in front of me again.
Don't make her feel embarrassed...
for the five years she dated you.
He's acting cool.
I apologized.
I wasn't a coward, okay?
Did I do well?
Yes. Good job.
Now,
will you go away?
I'm going to see the vice-president.
Okay.
See you later.
Isn't Mr. Hwangbo amazing?
He got everything he needed from Cutter,
but he partnered with Mr. Nam.
Hey, why do you think...
Mr. Nam decided to collaborate with us?
It's so that he could show better performance.
He blew the whistle on Cutter.
That was probably for the same reason.
Gosh, was the rumor true?
I heard that Mr. Nam...
will become the next vice-president.
What about Mr. Cho?
Is he done for?
- He is. - Done.
Let's go.
(Breaking News! Cho Cutter got cut!)
(Cut, cut, cut...)
How far are you trying to go up?
To the vice-president's office.
- What? - They told me to come.
You got Hwangbo Yool on your side now.
At this rate, you'll become the chairman.
If you try to move up the ladder like that,
you could fall down.
It only takes a second for someone to fall.
That's true. Just like you, right?
- Gosh. - But,
I will take your failure as an example...
and look forward instead of up.
That's the kind of leader I will become.
What will it be? You'll go down, right?
I pressed it for you.
What a jerk.
How can you look far with glasses?
Why are you eating porridge?
What about you? What happened to your face?
Do I look sexy?
Are you still drunk?
I heard you're working with Sports Business.
Yes.
You're working with other departments,
and you went to a team dinner.
You even know how to have a fight now.
You've improved a lot.
How did you know that?
Are you stalking me?
Stalk you?
I'm just interested in you.
You should pay more attention to me too.
I feel sick from the hangover.
Do Hee is coming today.
Was that today?
Let's have tea together this afternoon.
I'm dying from the nervousness...
with the upcoming decision on a new vice-president.
However, you two are taking your time.
Do you want to be cut from my line?
I told you to bring me a picture...
of Chi Won and Yoon Yi being close!
What?
You're busy since it's the beginning of the year?
You have to do your work first?
Don't you know what's important?
You need to prioritize.
You can't capture the moment...
since you're not on standby all day?
Must I tell you how to do everything?
You're so stupid.
Gosh. Take this.
You're so dumb.
He's good at his job, and he can keep secrets.
He has just enough ambition.
It would be perfect if he worked under me,
but he won't take my side.
Gun Woo.
How did you know the address?
What's wrong? Can't I visit?
No, it's not that.
Let's go somewhere inside.
Did you eat? You must be cold.
Let's go.
Are you hungry? Go ahead and eat.
Where were you all day yesterday?
You didn't pick up your phone.
I couldn't sleep because I was worried.
I went to all the internet cafes.
I went to Grandma's.
Hey, you didn't...
talk to her about Dad, did you?
I don't have a dad.
He died.
Where are you? You're taking so long.
Let's go eat.
Hurry back, Ms. Wang.
Okay, I'm coming.
I ran out of allowance.
Okay.
I don't have much cash.
Hey, Gun Woo.
You're not hanging out with the wrong crowd,
are you?
Why do you care? You don't care about me.
What are you saying? You're my everything.
Don't make me your excuse.
Dad went missing while blaming me.
I'm your excuse for disguising as Mi Ae.
- Gun Woo. - Both you and Dad...
are the same!
Gun Woo. Gun Woo!
- Yoon Yi. - Yes?
Does Mr. Nam have lunch plans?
No, he doesn't.
We're going to get hangover soup.
Can he come with us?
Okay. I will ask him.
Mr. Nam.
We're going to have hangover soup.
Do you want to join us?
I have plans.
You said he was free.
I'm meeting my landlord to discuss something.
I told you earlier. Did you forget?
Gosh. I forgot.
I'm sorry.
You should pay attention.
He lives on rent?
Could it be a flat or a house?
Come to my hideout.
"Hideout"?
- Hello. - Hello.
Yoon Yi.
Is this your hideout?
Yes.
As you can see, this seat is for VIPs.
I was excited to see your hideout for nothing.
Are you looking down on this holy place?
No, no. It's classic and elegant.
It suits you perfectly.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
The usual, please. Set A.
Set A?
This is Set A?
It looks good. Thank you.
You should eat with me.
I had some porridge earlier.
I see.
Why do you like comic books so much?
Because the world they have is interesting.
Then, what about your world?
It'll get interesting from now...
thanks to someone.
Why don't you tell me the genre you want?
Comedy, romance, fantasy,
thriller, or...
R rated?
Office romance comedy.
Office romance comedy? Okay.
While we're on the topic,
Will you draw me a character?
- I can't draw. - Just once.
Don't get disappointed.
Hold on.
Freeze.
This is perfect.
- Are you done? - Hold on.
- Wait three seconds more. - Three,
2, 1. Are you done?
- Yes, I am. - Let's see.
Let's...
- Is this me? - Yes. Don't you like it?
Does it not look like you?
- How? - Here.
The lips are key. The full lips.
(Couples, confess and get blessings!)
There are three clues.
Lips, handwriting,
and a nickname, "Mr. Nitpick".
That's strange.
Why is it Mr. Nitpick out of everything?
What are you talking about?
I will trace the lips.
I will start comparing handwritings.
Let's put a reward on it.
Whoever catches them...
will get 10 dollars.
This is getting big.
- Give me the money. - I'll give 10 dollars.
- Give the money to me. - Is it 10 dollars?
Hey, what is this?
- Are you crazy? - Hey!
- You can't eat that. - Spit it out.
- Spit it out! - It's in his mouth.
What are you doing?
He just ate a piece of paper.
Don't you have anything better to eat?
Are you a goat?
- Hey! - What's wrong with you?
- I'll give you a new one. - Spit it out.
- Why did you do that? - He swallowed!
Give me two of your sweetest drink.
- Do you want whip cream? - Yes.
Please give me a mountain of it.
Hey, what's wrong? Did you cry?
Did that jerk make you do something ridiculous...
No, it's not that.
- Gun Woo came earlier... - Ms. Wang.
Ms. Wang, drink this.
You should have sweets when you're down.
- Thank you. - Let's go.
Enjoy.
Here are the details.
Gun Woo's mom?
It's been a while. What are you doing here?
Was I wrong? She looks like her.
Gun Woo? Isn't that T-Rex's Claw?
I kind of look like...
a twin to my sister.
Sometimes, strangers...
mistake me for my big sister.
Why did you run away, then?
I have a stomachache.
I have to rush to the washroom.
Did I put in too much whip cream?
Why did you buy something so expensive?
It doesn't cost much.
What is this?
Why is a stranger coming out from my office?
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I have an announcement. Come to the coffee shop.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Yes. Is this security?
I'm Senior Managing Director Cho Sang Moo.
It's about the shoe cleaner...
that visits our offices.
Bo Na.
Sorry, Yoon Yi asked me.
You two should make up. Okay?
Bo Na.
I know how hard you worked...
on the new product launch.
I do.
I should've...
told you first about the defect issue.
It all happened too fast. Honest.
I'm sorry.
I knew already...
that you were one of Mr. Cho's lines.
And that you and Mr. Nam were dating.
- Bo Na. - I thought...
you'd be uncomfortable if I said I knew,
so I pretended not to.
But you...
didn't think about me at all in this.
Why not?
Because you only thought about how to help Mr. Nam.
I wasn't trying to help him.
I was just trying to do the right thing.
Yoon Yi.
Unless we get new bosses,
we're headed...
in different directions.
I will...
think only about me from now on,
just like you.
Hello.
- Do Hee. - Dad.
Hi.
Mr. Nam?
How have you been?
I've been good.
- How about nengmyeon? - Okay.
They were once family nonetheless.
Family isn't something you can forget...
even if you try to.
That's right. You're taking time off, right?
I'm taking a trip with her for a few days...
since you won't play with me.
You rarely even take a personal day,
but you're taking a vacation?
Because I'm bitter since I'm retiring.
I'm going to use them all up.
I'm going first. You two stay and talk.
Go ahead.
You want to say something.
- Chi Won. - Yes?
I...
need you.
Stay with me.
Be my family again.
(Whatever it is you want...)
Please cancel all my appointments today.
(Please cancel all my appointments today.)
Why?
When will you be back?
(Why? When will you be back?)
Yes, sir. I will.
(Yes, sir. I will.)
Wait! Wait!
You're not allowed in this building anymore!
I said no.
- No. - Excuse me.
What's going on?
Why are you suddenly denying him entry?
We received orders from higher up...
that ever since he went into executives' offices,
a confidential document went missing.
- No. - That's absurd.
Do you have proof? Do they have proof?
The table should be set now.
Shall we get started?
Why are you picking on an innocent man?
If you keep this up...
- Move! - No.
Let go of her!
If you don't want to lose your hand,
take your hand off of my assistant.
Mr. Cho.
Let's go.
Wow. Thank goodness I was walking by.
What would you have done otherwise?
Don't worry about a thing.
I'll take care of it all.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Wow. You are such a good daughter.
You should succeed...
and provide a good life for your dad.
Imagine how proud he'd be if you were...
the vice president's assistant.
Vice president's assistant.
Let's succeed together.
I need your help...
in order to succeed.
Yoon Yi.
When will Mr. Nam be back? I need to send this out.
Well... The thing is...
Actually, if it's urgent,
I'll call him.
Give it to me.
What? Thank you.
Hello?
Mr. Nam.
Ms. Moon says she needs you to approve...
next month's budget right away.
I'll look at it later if I go back in.
When will you be back?
I don't know for sure yet.
I'm driving right now.
Okay. I see.
I understand.
Okay, then.
What...
are you doing?
Pardon?
Well... I have to prepare the list of guests,
as well as the performance report.
Also, I have training later as well.
It's so hectic. That's right.
You're so busy.
Don't work too hard, and go home early.
- Later... - Chi Won!
Who's that with you?
Sorry.
I'm driving right now. I'll call you back.
Who was that?
What the...
What was that?
"Chi Won"?
Yoon Yi.
Mr. Cho.
I want to go up...
with you.
Good. You made a wise decision.
These two are the biggest obstacles in our way.
We need something big to tie them together...
- and get rid of them. - You mean,
this is insufficient, right?
You're so quick.
If word gets out that Chi Won...
is secretly living with his assistant,
that noble and clean image will go down the drain.
A company that values its reputation...
would never make someone like that vice president.
You are so smart.
I have a plan in mind,
so bring me something big,
something that will buy my trust.
Yes, sir. I will.
What?
Darn it. "Chi Won"?
Seriously. I'm speechless.
Don't give me that garbage.
Let's start over.
Don't do this. It's over between us.
- No. - What the...
Love is bound...
to return.
I'm seeing someone.
No one in this world knows you as well as I do.
Let's start over.
- Do Hee. - Chi Won.
No!
What the...
I'm sorry.
Seriously.
They're broken up already.
Why did she come back and confuse him?
And why is he getting confused? Why?
You wishy washy loser.
I can't stand you.
This is crazy.
Hey. You're home.
Why you...
What? About Chi Won upstairs...
I heard from my colleague's...
predecessor's predecessor's manager,
that Chi Won... Oh, my gosh.
"Oh, my gosh" what?
Food.
I'm suddenly hungry.
Let's eat first.
Stop stalling, and tell me.
You're impatient, just like Mom.
Apparently, he is like a legend in the unit.
A real legend of legends.
A legend?
Do you mean, like a legendary fighter?
No.
His girlfriend, who looked like a model,
visited every weekend and gave out food...
to all the soldiers in his barracks.
She sent letters and gifts, and...
She was apparently incredible.
Can someone who received such incredible support...
be satisfied with just you?
I was worried and thought hard about it.
But I think...
that supportive queen will end up becoming his wife.
Men can't forget the woman...
who was good to him while he was in the army.
There's this...
Why you...
Stop it. Stop it.
Why is she always picking on me? What did I do?
It's so cold.
Why did you bring him?
What is this? Why are you here?
It's nothing.
They said they found something...
that could become cancer,
so it's just a checkup.
I said to get checked out every three months!
Why are you yelling?
Please, quit smoking and drinking too.
Don't eat salty foods.
And... please sleep six hours a day.
Shut it.
Are you my wife or something?
If something happens to you too, Uncle, I...
He's trying to send me off before I get the results.
Why this...
Here.
Dad will be okay, right?
I'm sure he will.
He will.
It's less scary having you here...
by my side.
I guess this is why it's nice to have family.
You can rely on them when something big happens.
Was I ever someone you could rely on?
You were.
It's just that you made me lonely.
But it's still nice,
seeing you again.
- Is someone waiting? - You should go.
You must still be jetlagged.
You can relieve me tomorrow.
I must be right. You're changing the subject.
Who? Your girlfriend?
Yes.
I'm hurt.
Seeing you again like this...
makes me want you back.
Do Hee.
If you say my name like that,
you'll get me excited.
What's wrong with me?
I don't want to give you to another woman.
When is he coming home?
I won't get mad,
so please hurry home.
I'll count exactly to 100.
1, 2.
3, 4.
When did you get so old?
You startled me.
Wow. Look at those dark circles.
You became a real raccoon.
- You didn't sleep? - How could I?
You said you'd call, but you don't.
You didn't say where you were going.
You made me nervous all day long.
Why couldn't you use your long fingers to dial?
Why did you drive me insane like this?
And?
And why was your ex-wife at the office?
Why were you hugging in front of all those people?
"We're cool like this."
"This is American style," is that it?
I was so dumbfounded.
I hate people like that more than anyone.
I wish I could beat them with a stick.
I'm sorry.
Let go of me.
Don't think you can get away with it like this.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Dad. Let's eat.
Okay.
She's pretty.
You're right. She is.
Eat up.
I was at the hospital all day.
I feel so bad...
toward him.
He always said he was bored,
and asked me...
to play with him.
But I had so much fun hanging out with you...
that I had forgotten entirely.
But when I got to saw him at the hospital,
I just couldn't get myself to call you.
I felt too bad.
From now on,
play with him often.
Let's see...
1 or 2 days a week.
I'll be generous...
and share you with him.
I want to keep looking at you like this,
but I'm so sleepy.
Go to sleep.
I will...
put you to sleep.
Once I awake,
I'll do whatever you want to do.
As an apology.
I'm excited.
Good night.
Gun Woo.
I have to work today and need to go in.
I made food,
so make sure to eat.
I'll come home as early as I can.
Should we have pork belly tonight...
when I get back?
I'll be back.
Hello?
Hi, Mi Ae. You're not at the office yet, right?
No. I just left home.
Then...
You know the e-sports team acquisition?
I looked at their terms,
and I have some changes to insert.
But we need Mr. Hwangbo to confirm this,
to avoid errors tomorrow at the meeting.
Really?
But his phone is off right now.
Did he say he couldn't come today?
No. He didn't tell me anything.
I wonder...
if today is "that" day.
- "That" day? - Yes.
Once a year,
he goes into hiding for a day.
It was always around this time.
Anyway, don't come here.
I'll email you the document.
Would you get Mr. Hwangbo to confirm it?
Yes, sir.
It's so cold.
I'll take a picture of you that you'll remember...
for the rest of your lives.
Come in.
Come into the frame.
What's this?
You said you'd do everything I ask today.
You didn't want to go on a date?
No. How boring.
That's what dating novices do.
- Here. - What?
Go.
But...
Look at the dust.
Why don't you wipe it down after clearing it?
Why is there so much dust?
When did you last clean?
Probably...
last summer during monsoon season?
Problem?
Mr. Nam!
Yes?
You worked hard today, cleaning.
I'll cook you something good.
You'll cook?
Come and pick something.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Do you want stir-fried fishcakes?
What is this?
What?
February 2004...
Have you been cooking for me with these things?
It's okay. You can still eat these.
But they expired so long ago.
Come on. You won't die.
I'm still alive.
Yoon Yi.
I can't do this. Let's just...
go out to eat.
Mom.
It isn't much,
but eat up.
You should've left me at least one photo.
What is this? How lame.
If you want one prepared by your daughter-in-law,
send me a nice girl...
from up above where you are.
I just need to approve this, right?
Yes.
Here.
Thank you.
Are... Are you okay?
What do you mean?
Your mother...
I was afraid she'd come by and starve,
so I was worried and set a small table.
There was some meat, so I made it.
I hope your mother will like it.
It looks good. Eat with us.
It's okay, I...
Sure. Why not?
Thank you for the food.
What's wrong?
It tastes good.
This soup...
It tastes so good,
it's making me cry.
Slow down. You'll get sick.
It's okay.
It's okay, so eat slowly.
Eat slowly...
after you're done crying.
Mom...
If the son cries this sadly,
a mom will be more heartbroken.
So, cry until today,
and be strong again starting tomorrow.
Here.
Ms. Wang.
Don't tell anyone...
you saw me cry.
Okay. It's a secret between us.
That's right. A secret.
Yes?
Their relationship seems suspicious.
Yes.
I think you should announce it now.
It looks yummy.
We just ate. You want to eat again?
Come on. This is dessert.
This stomach is for food, and one is for dessert.
It looks yummy!
Here.
This is the best part about having a boyfriend.
I can eat both the vegetable...
and sweet red bean buns...
just like this.
You could just eat both.
Seriously.
He has no idea what dating is about.
I guess you didn't do...
things like this with your ex-wife.
No. She doesn't eat much.
I usually eat a little too.
I forced myself to eat so that you could...
I like women who eat a lot.
It's so weird.
I keep eating and eating, but I'm hungry...
That's right.
My cell phone.
Emergency. Mom's coming.
She's in Seoul for a wedding.
Make sure she doesn't catch you with Chi Won.
Also, make sure to tell him...
that you heard from me, okay?
What?
Hey, you.
Why are you pointing a camera at our house?
Who are you? Are you a reporter?
- No. - A paparazzi?
None of your business. Just go on your way.
Why you little... Who are you? Get out.
You're suspicious. What photos did you take?
- Why are you all covered? - Let go.
- Let me see your face. - Stop it!
Why you little punk. Get out right now.
What is this? Oh, my gosh.
- What is this? - Shoot.
Are you a spy? I'm calling the cops!
- Seriously... - Where did he get...
Where do you think you're going? You punk!
Stop right there! Stop!
Get back here! Stop!
1346!
I memorized your license plate number!
- Does it look like me? - Yes.
How was that there?
Hi.
Do Hee.
How did you get in?
The landlord let me in.
You left this at the hospital.
Your scarf.
Is she the girlfriend you mentioned?
Hello. I'm Do Do Hee.
Hello. I'm Jwa Yoon Yi.
Go in. I'll talk to her outside and come back.
Let's go.
No.
You said you'd do everything I want today.
Just stay with me.
I... I won't let you go.
(Epilogue)
I should be sick every so often.
When else would you do these things for me?
Human beings are so selfish.
What do you mean?
I really wish...
you would be happy.
But seeing you...
and Do Hee sitting side by side,
I'm starting to get other ideas.
Uncle.
It's too selfish of me to want you...
to call me "Father" again, right?
(Jugglers)
If you leave,
so should I.
We can't be apart.
I don't want to live with you.
I wasn't thinking about living with you.
Living together? Are they...
Living together?
Start doing your thing.
There's an emergency meeting.
The bosses keep making dirty scandals.
My boy Chi Won. Just trust me.
I won't just take it.
I'm with you now because I trust you.
