(Episode 73)
You carry this now.
Okay.
Genie's dad. It's Genie's dad.
Genie's dad?
Goodness.
Who are you?
Hello. I'm rookie singer Oh Dal Sook.
I'm the CEO of Tak Entertainment. Hold on.
The name is Tak Heo Se.
I'm Manager Go Ji Myung.
Director Kang. What's going on?
Why not come into my office?
They've been waiting here for hours to meet you.
Soo Mi, watch Genie for him.
Okay.
Come in.
So you want me to give you a song, is that it?
Yes.
We heard all about your fame.
You conquer the charts with just one song!
If you were to...
give such a song to our Oh Dal Sook,
we would be so grateful, sir.
She's a really talented singer.
- Trust us and... - No.
What? Come on, sir.
- Let me sing and... - Enough.
Your name is...
Oh Dal Sook.
Okay, Oh Mal Sook.
However much I look at you,
I don't feel any inspiration.
I don't know what it is,
but it's like I'm stuck in a thick fog.
I feel so lost...
and distant.
What? Lost and distant?
Gosh, your style is just...
Anyway, I can't give you a song, so that's that.
- What? Sir. Sir! - Wait, sir.
- Sir, wait. - Come on now.
What's going on?
What's the matter?
Pardon? Well... I lost Genie.
My Genie?
No, it'll be somewhere nearby.
I left the bowl right here,
but you know Genie's like Usain Bolt...
Enough!
Stop talking...
and start searching. Genie!
- Start looking. - Look everywhere.
- Where is she? - Genie.
Oh, dear. Genie.
What should I do, doctor?
I can't live without my Genie.
Genie is my muse, my life.
I found her!
Sir.
Isn't this Genie?
You did it.
Genie, you can't run away from home.
Daddy was so worried!
Thank you so much for finding her.
It was nothing.
I'm glad we found her.
Oh Mal Sook?
It's Oh Dal Sook.
I suddenly want to know about you.
Will you be able to sing my song?
Shall we get talking?
- What? Really? - Sir.
- Thank you so much, sir. - Thank you.
Perfect.
When something isn't working out, you do this.
Okay.
Are you still displeased with me?
Well, a bit.
My bouts of anger,
it's because of my dementia.
Try to understand.
I'm from the countryside, so I'm not affectionate,
but I don't think I was this bad back then.
Okay.
Don't hate me too much.
For your sake, not mine.
Hating others and getting angry...
is just my loss in the end.
Dad.
Do your memories...
keep vanishing?
Well... I think I'm okay at the moment.
Ask me anything. I'll guess everything.
My mom.
The mom who had me.
Do you remember her?
I'm curious.
What was she like?
She was pretty.
And sweet.
And good.
That's a lie.
A woman who had an affair...
with a married man and left her child can't be good.
Who said such a thing?
I did.
What's that?
This is the acoustic guitar you'll learn to play.
- Is it? - I'll teach you how.
Have you played one before?
I just plucked the strings...
of a friend's guitar in middle school.
This feels a bit awkward.
Rest it on your right leg,
and your left hand goes like this.
This is do, mi, sol.
Hold it like that.
- Like this? - Yes, that's the C Chord.
You aren't bad, Dad.
I can tell he played a lot in his time.
Hey, this isn't worth making a fuss about.
Even a dog or a cow can do this.
Right.
Even a dog, a cow, and even your wife can play a guitar.
Good luck with it.
Reading music...
and using your fingers is good for the brain.
And music activates your brain too.
Practice hard and play a song that Mom likes.
Sing her "Girls' Generation".
Why would I go through so much to learn to play that?
I'll sing something like "Because I Am a Man".
Hang on, what do I do? I forgot already.
One finger goes here.
Do. Hold it like this.
Now strum with this hand.
It's not that easy.
It's warm. Thanks, Seo Jin.
Did you come here to stop me from keeping your mom too late?
You caught on?
I wanted to send her home on time today for some reason.
I'm not that nasty a boss.
I know that...
you're giving my mom a lot of leeway.
You even brought her home yesterday.
- You saw us? - Yes.
You stood outside so as not to wake her up.
Did you quit working at the hospital?
Yes.
I'm with my dad all day now.
Good for you.
Your dad must be feel reassured.
Not at all. We fight all the time.
We did again today.
If you're going to help him, be nice while doing so.
Why fight?
He gives Mom a hard time.
I'm worried for her.
Sometimes, I wonder if he's being like this on purpose.
Or if it's really dementia.
I'm not sure.
But I'll do as you said and resent Dad from close by.
Good for you, Dae Young. You're better than me.
You know this is all your fault, don't you?
What? Why is it my fault?
If we hadn't met, I'd still be in Africa.
I sometimes think...
I'd like to go back to...
when I didn't know any of this.
Then what about your mom?
Why don't you think about her?
Do you know when she smiles the brightest?
It's when she talks about you.
I know that.
That's why I'm holding back with all my might.
Good. You should do that. You're doing the right thing.
Since we're talking, Seo Jin.
Would you buy me a drink?
A drink?
(Kang Dong Hyun)
Dad.
You're going to sleep here?
Yes.
Why?
Did she find out?
Is that why Song Joo's angry?
She didn't find out anything.
We didn't do anything wrong.
We went to see Mom...
without telling her about it.
It's not like we did that on purpose.
She humiliated herself there because of a scarf last time.
Would she have come with us even if we asked?
You don't have to tiptoe around her anymore.
How can I not tiptoe around her?
What's that look for?
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
- For what? - For everything.
For getting divorced...
and getting remarried. Everything.
It's late. Go to bed.
When did you come in?
A short while ago.
You should've woken me.
Is your dad asleep already?
It looks like it. I guess he had a long day.
What about dinner?
We ate already.
I waited for nothing then.
You could've called to say you'd eat out.
I'm sorry.
- Did you just eat with Dad? - Yes.
You haven't eaten dinner yet?
Not yet. I was waiting for you two.
You must be so hungry.
I feel much better knowing you're worried.
Go to bed.
I'll just get some juice.
Okay.
Hang on.
Can you get the door?
- Hello. - Dae Young.
How much did he have to drink?
Honey. Come out here.
My gosh, director.
Dae Young's drunk.
Don't just stand there.
Help him with Dae Young.
It's fine.
You can rest, sir. I'll take him upstairs.
What? "Sir"?
Come this way.
Stay here. I'll deal with him.
Why did he drink so much?
He's out of it.
I'm sorry. I should've stopped him.
He had too much tonight.
Thank you. Drink this.
Where's mine?
Why do you need some?
I'm thirsty too.
I'm fine. Do you want this?
My gosh.
Look at all that sweat.
You'll feel cold if you leave it. Wipe it away.
Thanks.
- He's gone? - Yes.
Did he not drink?
He quit drinking because he's on medication.
He looked perfectly fine. What medicine is he taking?
He must be sick. I don't know the details too.
Do you mean...
he didn't drink a drop...
and let my son drink until he can't walk?
If someone heard you, they'd think...
my director force-fed Dae Young alcohol.
Isn't that why you came home drunk once yourself?
Don't give me that look.
It's offensive.
What look am I giving you?
"Is this his dementia talking? Or is he sane right now?"
That's what you're thinking.
If you're saying that, I guess you're sane now.
I'm sane now?
Am I not sane at other times?
I can't get a word in at all.
My director said Dae Young seemed upset and wouldn't listen...
when he tried to make him stop.
Upset, my foot.
Out of everyone in this family, I'm the one who's most upset.
Where are you going?
To get Dae Young's jacket off him.
Here.
Thank you.
Honey.
What are you doing here?
Did you just talk to him?
Who are you talking about?
Don't feign ignorance.
That director guy.
You just talked to him in secret.
What are you saying?
Why would I call him at this hour?
Don't lie. I heard you talk.
Where's my phone?
My phone's in the bedroom. See for yourself.
I was right, wasn't I?
Now let's just go to bed.
- Honey. - What?
Should I put on more makeup?
Or should I try to look simple?
Just do what you usually do.
Whatever you do, you're beautiful.
I know I'm beautiful.
It's our first official meeting with Mr. Woo.
I'm worried.
Will he dislike me for...
dressing up too much?
But if I don't wear enough, I might look too average.
That doesn't matter at all.
What's important is that...
you found his pet tortoise for him.
Yoo San Gyoon...
will be eternally grateful towards you.
Then what, should I just be honest?
That's it.
Now do you get the feel,
my dear muse?
You're my forever manager.
Don't be cheeky. What about here?
- We're late. Let's go. - Okay.
Where was I?
You suddenly felt inspired.
That's right.
- Oh Dal... - It's Oh Dal Sook.
Yes, Dal Sook.
The moment I saw you...
with Genie on your palm,
I felt like...
the pain of despair that I'd never see Genie again...
was just melting.
When the moment of pain disappeared,
my mind became clear like the blue sky of fall.
Gosh. Now I can live.
Gosh. I can live with the power of love.
Right away, I ran to my piano,
and as if I were possessed,
I began to play.
Everything he composed that way became massive hits.
But this song...
- Oh Dal... - It's Oh Dal Sook.
Is it for you, Dal Sook?
I'm not so sure.
I will do my best.
I will work really hard.
You see,
I believe that when a song is born, so is...
the singer who sings it.
Dal Sook. Prove to me that you are...
that singer.
If you want her to prove herself,
what should we do and how?
Do you have...
cup noodles?
- Cup noodles? - Noodles?
Bok Nam, Bok Nam!
Thank you so much.
The composer was so pleased that...
he finally got to taste some decent kimchi.
He wanted cup noodles and mature kimchi on the first meeting?
He must be quite a character.
He's not just your average guy.
This composer...
Actually,
your favorite song, "The Man From Heukseok-dong".
He composed that.
Your wife's going to get a song from him?
Yes.
Our manager says...
he doesn't invite just anyone to his studio,
but after our first meeting today,
he took my wife straight to where he works.
- When? - Just now.
Why didn't you go?
Why would I when they'll just practice?
The manager went.
You need to watch your wife too.
What?
Your wife and that manager guy are out together all day.
Not just all day. If she has a gig,
they're out together until late.
Come on, Bok Nam.
What are you talking about?
They're out working. It's business.
Don't be so sure of it.
You'll get stabbed in the back.
Jin Ok should be an example for you.
What did she do?
Her and that director guy.
They work together all day,
and I thought like you did.
"What could happen when they just work together?"
But what?
Right in front of my eyes,
Jin Ok wiped the sweat on the man's face...
and touched his hands too.
I couldn't believe it.
I complained to her about it, and she treated me like a fool.
Jin Ok did that?
Why would you say such nonsense about her?
Do you not believe it?
Neither do I.
That's why I'm so perplexed.
(Sopyonje)
Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
Check the schedule for the members who are double-cast.
Cal Theater actress Nam Mi Rae...
had an affair with my husband.
Because of her, my family is on the verge of splitting up.
I want to keep our family together for the sake of our child.
"So I pleaded with her to break up with my husband,"
"but this shameless woman won't even listen."
"This immoral woman sings on stage and is applauded by others."
"I believe this cannot go on."
- This is crazy. - Is that true?
What's going on?
Do you really think Mi Rae did that?
Who would post a lie of this magnitude?
Her ex-husband brought their son yesterday.
Do they not feel ashamed?
Mi Rae said she didn't care for men.
Did you believe that?
To be honest, is Mi Rae that great a singer?
Does she even dance well?
There must be something going on.
Why aren't you all practicing?
The show begins in two days. Why are you all sitting around?
One might think she's our director.
Kim Hyun Jung, what did you just say?
If you want to be a senior, shouldn't you lead by example?
What are you complaining about now?
Read the post on our website.
What's she talking about?
Welcome.
Is the director in?
He's with a patient, but he'll be done soon.
Please sit and wait.
I don't know what this is about,
but drink that and cool down.
I will...
bury her for real this time.
(Sister)
(10 missed calls)
I'm sorry.
I didn't think she'd do something like this.
You're sorry? Is that it?
Because of your wife,
I might lose my musical role.
If that happens, my career's done for.
It's not true.
Why would you be fired for a lie?
The truth? Do you think people will believe me?
Once a lie goes online,
it turns into truth in no time.
I'm done for.
My director...
hates a ruined reputation more than anything.
Let's go. I'll explain for you.
You can't do anything!
Whether I can or not, at least clear your name.
It's all a misunderstanding.
It happened because I'm incompetent.
My wife posted that article.
Your wife?
Is she the woman who caused a fuss in our lobby?
Yes. That was over a minor misunderstanding as well.
I don't know.
Would she do something this shocking for no reason?
We did get divorced, but we have a son,
so we remained as friends.
This happened because my current wife doesn't get that.
Mi Rae is at no fault.
Are you sure?
His wife is very sensitive.
I tried to be careful,
but things keep going wrong.
Director. I'm really sorry.
Whether it's true or not,
you caused a problem even before the show started.
I don't want to cast such an actress.
What do you think, Sagong?
I think a bit differently.
We should not take this incident lightly.
What do you mean you won't take this incident lightly?
Mr. Kang, your wife...
posted false information that damaged Cal Theater...
and an actress' reputation.
As producer, I will take legal action.
I will apologize instead.
Very well.
We'll decide the matter at tomorrow's staff meeting.
I have to go. I must return to practice.
Nam Mi Rae.
- Yes? - Aren't you coming?
Will you quit performing?
No, no.
You're the producer of this musical?
Our Mi Rae...
Who is "our Mi Rae"?
Why do you still call her that?
It's an old habit of mine.
What happened to Mi Rae today...
is all your fault.
If you care for Mi Rae at all, stay away from her.
What gives you the right to say that?
Did you ever think about Mi Rae's future?
I am...
someone who thinks about her future...
at least a little more than you do.
Let's talk.
Dong Hyun's friends are here.
I'm making them a snack.
Let's talk later.
Dong Hyun, Dad's home.
Come and say hi.
Okay.
Hi, Dad.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hi. Are you all in the same class?
Yes. We're working on a science project.
Okay. Get back to work.
Okay.
I'm making pizza. Do you want some?
No, thanks.
- Honey. - Sir.
Hey. You're back?
You said you might stay all night, but that was quick.
Why do you have this?
Mr. Woo suddenly had to go to a province...
and asked me to watch Genie.
The fact that he entrusted her with Genie...
means that you're a member of his team.
Oh, is that what it means?
You saw how much he cares for the tortoise.
He left Genie with you.
Dal Sook, you finally got acknowledged.
I owe it all to you, Mr. Go.
I didn't do anything.
It's all because Mr. Tak gave us his full support.
It's not such a big deal.
A special singer deserves special support.
How about we go out for dinner to celebrate?
We can't do that. What about her?
Right.
Don't mind me. You two can go out.
I was so tense the whole day that...
my legs are about to give in.
- Okay. - I'll go home first.
- Bye. - Take care.
Why am I so thirsty?
What was that?
No, it can't be.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Well? Did you talk to Mr. Woo?
We have to take a strong stance.
What should I do?
Should I sing at gigs for a small sum for the rest of my life?
Seol Song Joo. You posted nonsense on the theater's website.
How can you say that after ruining someone's life?
If you don't want to see her go down,
wake up yourself.
You're really helpless. I won't live with you anymore.
Where are all my shoes?
Shoes don't have feet. Look for them carefully.
What's going on?
Cha Jin Ok. You can't go to work today.
