Honey.
(Episode 76)
Why do you suddenly want to give up?
This is your first overseas gig.
Do you think I can sing and dance on a ship in this situation?
What situation are you in?
The situation is... My gosh.
Were you crying?
What's wrong?
Honey.
Bok Nam...
What about him?
He has dementia.
What?
Don't be silly.
It's true!
Bok Nam's too young to have dementia.
It's hereditary.
His mom had it.
Oh, did she?
So that was it.
So many things didn't feel right.
Like when he blamed me...
when his store was robbed.
Poor Jin Ok.
How is she to manage from now on?
I had no idea...
and I took it out on Bok Nam.
Jin Ok only just got on her own two feet...
and is starting a career of her own.
I should've been nicer to him.
Are you really not going to go on this cruise ship?
It's a wasted opportunity.
Do you think I can sing in this mood?
Then I guess,
nine shows on the ship...
and 1 in Qingdao, that's 10.
If you were to force yourself to sing in this condition,
you'll pass out as soon as you get home.
Talk to Hyeon U for me.
See what we can do to help.
Okay, I'll do that.
Don't you worry.
Do you know how hard I worked to bring you that contract?
She's giving it up because her friend's husband is sick?
Does that make sense?
That's because you don't know their relationship.
Those friends aren't just like any bunch of friends.
If Dal Sook goes on this cruise with all those people,
they will become her fans forever.
You're losing out on that.
Darn it.
Did you find a stand-in to take her place?
People had lined up for the job,
so that was easy.
You have to pay the penalty.
The penalty? We sent a stand-in.
A contract's a contract.
Can you still not reach Mr. Woo?
We can't meet him until we revive his tortoise.
And OK Kim won't give us a song unless we pay...
four times what he originally asked.
Then go to him and ask if he'll give us something...
for twice that price.
Will you pay double?
I have no choice. We need a song.
Sister.
Where were you?
I waited for you for so long.
Are you on the night shift?
Yes.
Mom.
Last night, what Dad said. What did that mean?
What did he say?
He called me his sister.
Oh, that?
You're the nurse and you're asking me?
Dad's sick and got confused.
That's what I thought at first.
But this wasn't the first time.
He called me his sister once before.
Your grandma thought you were her daughter too.
You look a lot like your aunt.
Is that it?
It's so upsetting.
What if later on, Dad doesn't recognize me at all?
We should help him so that doesn't happen.
Go to work.
Okay. See you later.
It looks like you won't keep the secret for long.
Father, because you played a bit back in the day,
you're learning quite quickly.
This is nothing.
You like to sing.
If you memorize the chords, you can sing as you play.
It'll help you a lot.
Playing the guitar puts me at ease.
Music stimulates the brain directly.
It has the strength to revive old memories.
If only you'd started a couple of years back.
You said I can still get better.
Of course you can.
Starting tomorrow morning, we'll go jogging together.
- Jogging? - Yes.
Jogging makes the brain jog.
It jogs the heart too.
You told me to walk quickly until now.
We'll walk quickly, but then we won't run too fast.
It'll be a light jog.
Hello.
You're practicing hard.
He comes here on his day off and makes me do this and that.
He's such a bother.
You still have to listen.
Did you start a new language?
We haven't started that yet.
Do I have to learn a language too?
Dad, that helps beat dementia.
Foreign languages stimulate the brain continuously.
It's a great deterrent against dementia.
You're in the early stages,
so you must do that too.
I should've done this before I got sick.
Then you wouldn't have gotten sick.
You have no choice now.
Just do everything Hyeon U says, okay?
You look like you're heading to work. Go ahead.
- Okay. See you tomorrow. - Take care.
Father.
Let's start with the C chord.
- That's it. - C.
Close your eyes
Feel the wind
It's the touch of
My mother's hand
Stop, stop!
What's wrong with your voice?
I practiced too much yesterday and my voice...
We start in two days and you ruined your voice?
I apologize.
See a doctor and report right back with the results.
Okay.
So Young, cover for Hyun Jung just for today's practice.
Okay.
Let's take a 30-minute break.
Okay.
It's me.
You weren't cut forever. Don't waste your time.
It looks like we need you back.
What?
Really, director?
What about Hyun Jung?
To see a doctor?
She was the solo lead.
She got excited and practiced too hard...
and ruined her voice.
I think she has singers' nodule.
She can't manage her voice, you can't manage your image.
Will you please pull yourself together?
I'm really sorry.
I'll be careful so it never happens again.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
It's me.
Can you talk?
Yes.
I just got back from seeing a lawyer.
What is it?
The actress who took my role lost her voice.
I will resume practice from tomorrow.
Will you?
I feel sorry for her, but glad for you.
I called you...
because I don't want your wife to find out.
I just saw a lawyer.
I won't have time to tell her this.
Dong Hyun will be disappointed.
Tell him that I'll be back on stage.
Okay.
What did the lawyer say?
It looks like that IOU has shackled me down.
You have to pay her back to get divorced, don't you?
What now?
I need to find the money.
I don't want to get involved in that.
Bye.
(Director Kang Joon Ho)
Come and eat.
What's the occasion? You cooked for me?
You must've talked to a lawyer.
So what?
I don't want to fight anymore.
I'll be good to you, like before.
I can't divorce you until I pay you back what I owe,
and you know that,
so you want to stay married?
Dinner's ready. Join us.
I'm sorry.
I had a lovely bowl of seolleongtang.
Dong Hyun's eating.
At least pretend to share.
Here, eat this too.
Welcome home.
Eat up.
Dong Hyun, how many classes do you go to?
Korean, English, math, science, and history.
Math is a private tutor.
You have an English class too?
It's not easy to teach your own kid.
He started last month.
Quit all the extra classes.
What? Why?
No, you don't have to quit.
Because of a medical mishap,
I owe your mom and I must pay her back.
You need to learn to study on your own.
You can't reach the top by relying on classes.
But I'm doing pretty well thanks to their help.
Yes. Keep going to those classes.
I'll pay for that, so don't worry.
You just study hard.
If you're done, go to your room.
Okay.
You spent all the living expenses on Dong Hyun's education.
You're the one who wanted it all back.
That's between you and me.
Don't drag Dong Hyun into it.
I'm sorry, but it's between Dong Hyun and me.
You're the one who shouldn't get involved.
Is that true?
The actress they cast...
lost her voice and your mom's back in.
She can perform again,
so Mom told me to tell you not to be disappointed.
Okay.
Stop going to all the extra classes too.
I can't do that.
Will you be responsible if my grades fall?
There's nothing you can't do.
Try doing things on your own from now on.
It can't be done overnight.
It'll take a long time.
What if I can't keep up?
I'd noticed that he'd been acting weirdly.
I just thought it was his weird temper.
I think that was when everything started.
How could this happen?
How am I to treat him from now on?
This is so troublesome.
You don't have to treat him differently all of a sudden.
Just act like you always did.
My wife cried as if I was the one who had gotten sick...
and cancelled her overseas schedule.
She didn't have to do that.
Their friendship isn't the average kind.
Dal Sook said she was in no mood to sing or dance.
We had to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
What a friendship.
If I'd known, I'd have treated him better.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Heo Se, do you jog at all?
Yes, sometimes.
Director Kang jogs every day. Why?
Father walks around the neighborhood every day,
but starting tomorrow, we'll jog a bit every day.
It's boring on his own.
It would be nice if you could join him sometimes.
There's no reason I can't do that.
I'll call Director Kang.
Whoever is free can jog with him that morning,
or we can all run together. Let's do that.
Great. Thank you.
Don't thank me. I should thank you.
I'll get to exercise now too.
Father, let's eat.
Okay. Let's eat.
I'm home.
- Hi. - Hello.
I'm just on time. That looks good.
- It's tasty. - Good.
What is it?
Considering your meager pay, you're always late.
I won't be this busy once we launch on the home shopping network.
Your son-in-law worked all day as well.
Do you like making him cook in an apron?
Father, I don't mind.
Dad, you're just too much.
What do you mean?
Did I say something I shouldn't have?
You doubt Mom and disapprove her all the time.
Dae Young.
I don't doubt her.
You came to her office last night...
to check what she was up to.
Dae Young, stop it.
What would I need to check?
Do you think Mom's like you?
You cheated on Mom,
so you keep checking to see if she's doing the same.
Dae Young, don't talk to him like that.
Why can't I?
You should take a stand too.
What did Mom do that's so wrong?
Didn't she do enough by raising your illegitimate son?
Dae Young, you aren't illegitimate.
What are you talking about? That's enough!
Dae Young, you're...
Silence!
Fine. I had you out of wedlock.
I'm your dad. Your real dad.
It's a fact.
I had an affair and had Dae Young out of wedlock.
If you want to resent me, go ahead.
Dae Young!
Were you very surprised?
I'm sorry.
Why should you apologize?
You raised me.
I should apologize to you.
Dae Young.
I raised you since you were a newborn.
Never once did I think you weren't my own.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry that I wasn't the one...
to have you.
I really don't understand.
Why did you stay with Dad?
Because of you.
Because of me?
What does that mean?
It was literally because of you.
Because of you,
I couldn't leave your dad.
I don't get what you mean.
You'll understand one day.
Please...
don't hate your dad so much.
He really worked hard to raise you.
Why did you leave for Africa?
I felt suffocated.
Yes.
You said you were leaving because you couldn't breathe.
I studied for years to get into med school,
but I couldn't tell...
why I was there...
or why I was even studying.
I wasn't there because I wanted to be.
Do you know what you told your dad...
when you quit med school?
I remember.
I said it was Dad's wish,
so he'd look good and save face.
That hurt him so much that...
your dad cried that day.
I know he was so strict...
that you couldn't breathe.
It was so you'd do well in life.
So you'd be proud and not have to bow to others.
Your dad's a stingy man but...
he spent freely when it came to your education.
You felt suffocated,
but your dad raised you with a sense of duty.
So don't be like that towards him.
Okay.
He hasn't noticed anything yet.
Why did you go and say that?
I said I'll tell when the time is right.
I'm sorry. I should've held back.
I couldn't' stand watching Dae Young resent you...
when he's totally mistaken.
Don't say anything.
He's my son, whatever others say.
Why not just tell him?
It's better than thinking he was born out of wedlock.
How is that better?
Say neither of us are his parents.
He'll think he's an orphan.
Would he care for us then?
He won't love you anymore either.
Even if he knew the truth, Dae Young wouldn't be like that.
So what, you offered double the pay?
OK Kim said he wouldn't give us a song unless we pay quadruple.
I told Mr. Go to just get him to give us a song,
but I'm not sure if he'll do it for double the pay.
If I hadn't stepped on that tortoise,
I'd be practicing my new song by now.
Forget Mr. Woo.
He won't even deal with us.
Can we revive the tortoise?
How can you revive a dead tortoise?
What did you do with the body?
I buried it outside.
We can't revive it,
but we can show we care.
By having a funeral.
Hey.
Why does a tortoise need a funeral?
To Mr. Woo, that tortoise...
wasn't just any tortoise.
He lives alone, so it was like his child.
If we were to make it a coffin,
dig it a grave,
and if I were to sing a song that would...
suit a funeral...
Do you think Mr. Woo will give you a song for that?
It's not just because I want a song.
He trusted me to look after it and I killed it.
I thought it would be the right thing to do...
to comfort him somehow.
I guess so. We could show some effort.
Okay, let's do what you say. You never know what'll happen.
I'll ask Director Kang about it tomorrow.
Oh, right.
Honey.
Don't spend too much on me.
Why am I spending too much on you?
You offered to give OK Kim double the pay.
I think you're spending too much.
I might not even make it big.
Come on, don't say that.
You don't know if you'll make it big?
You will become a star. You're bound to!
It's your fate to become a hit!
You sound so sure.
You're so charming.
How can I not love you?
You shouldn't allow any negative thoughts into your mind,
not even an ounce.
What in the world is impossible?
Destiny, make way. Here I come!
Then everything works out.
You're so amazing.
Am I?
Come here.
My gosh. No, don't.
You said you're jogging with Bok Nam tomorrow.
Come on, Dal Sook!
Come here.
Are you crazy? Stop it!
My gosh. Hey!
Honey.
Take the morning off.
I can't.
Bok Nam's sick.
I must run, even if I faint halfway.
This is just too much.
Father, let's take a break.
- This is quite strenuous. - Yes.
Drink some water.
Father, we'll jog right away.
If you get too tired, slow down to a walk.
Okay.
Bok Nam.
Why are you here?
Why do you think I'm here?
With the real estate and entertainment agency,
I've been too busy to exercise recently.
I should jog now, when I can.
- Are you doing well? - Yes, yes.
It's great to see you exercise like this...
with your father-in-law.
Bok Nam, you have one amazing son-in-law.
It's all thanks to you.
You're the one who told me he's a good guy.
Do you remember all that?
I can't forget when I'm in someone's debt.
Director Kang said he'd join us too.
Who?
The animal doctor?
Yes, him, Director Kang.
He jogs every morning.
There he is. Director Kang.
Hi.
- Director Kang. - Hello.
Hello. Look at you.
You jog every day, so you look so fit.
Not at all.
I may seem fit, but I'm dying inside.
He is. He's under a lot of stress these days.
- Heo Se. - Sorry.
Shall we run?
Sure. Father, let's go.
Okay. Let's go.
Take your time.
I talked to Director Kang.
Soo Mi the nurse will set up the funeral for you.
Whose funeral?
The tortoise I stepped on and killed.
We'll have a funeral.
You buried it outside.
We'll dig it up and have a decent funeral.
That's crazy.
Why does it need a funeral when you buried it already?
Hey, it's not just any tortoise.
A famous composer considered it his family.
So, in order to get him to write you a song,
- you schemed... - Hey.
I killed it, so I want to show my respect.
I didn't scheme.
Go to school!
You too! Get going!
- They didn't finish... - Go!
- We're off. - See you.
Dae Young, you aren't illegitimate.
Hello?
Oh, hello. You're back.
Would you like it delivered today?
Okay, I'll be there.
Hey.
Let's make a delivery to Hyundae Apartment.
- Take this. - Okay.
Be careful.
I think Hyun Jung got too ambitious.
She can't sing for a month.
Her misfortune...
is not your good fortune.
I know that.
It's a huge risk for us to let you back in.
Please, don't let your personal life get in the way this time.
It won't happen from now on.
I'll cut ties with those people.
Okay.
You're a supporting character,
but you act with the male lead, so you're important.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I won't be sad and alone
Like my late mother said
If you go on living
You get used to it
Try again.
I won't
Thank you.
It will do your wife's health some good.
We'll use it well. Thank you.
Why haven't you said a thing all day?
You haven't either.
Hey, what happened? Did it stop?
Yes?
The elevator stopped.
Again? We had it fixed yesterday.
What did these people fix?
Hello?
What's going on?
The elevator had some problems, so we fixed it yesterday.
It's acting up again.
It's safe, so bear with me.
I'll call for help right away.
What a mess.
What's going on? I gave you a break.
There's another post on our website.
What?
- Is it about me? - Yes.
What does it say this time?
"Nam Mi Rae is not good enough for her role,"
"but she got it through her personal ties with the producer."
"This demeans the other..."
Stop.
Was it posted anonymously?
Yes.
I hate people who hide behind the internet to start such rumors.
Shouldn't Mi Rae explain this herself?
Hey, what is there to explain?
This is a conspiracy and a nonsensical one too.
Listen. This post is an attack against me too.
It suggests I cast someone who isn't good enough.
Wait.
I will sort this one out for you.
It's true that I have personal ties with Ms. Nam.
We met as teacher and student, but I...
said that I like her.
But Ms. Nam rejected me.
It was one-sided on my part.
Would I have...
recommended her after that?
Never once did I recommend...
a singer for any role. Why?
Because I trust the director.
Darn it.
Dad, are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
Dad.
What Mom said a while ago.
What?
That I'm...
not illegitimate.
Don't talk nonsense.
Whatever others say, you're Kim Bok Nam's son, Kim Dae Young.
Don't try to evade me now.
I want to hear it from you.
I have nothing to say.
You're my son.
Mom wouldn't say something that isn't true.
Tell me the truth.
What truth?
The truth is, you're my son.
Dad.
Ask me a thousand times and the answer's the same.
Then explain...
what you said to So Young two nights ago.
To So Young?
What did I say to her?
You saw her...
and called her your sister.
To So Young?
Yes.
Sister.
Dad.
Sister.
Where were you?
I waited for you for so long.
Your son Dae Young.
I sent him to medical school.
Did I do well?
Did I...
really say that?
Yes.
"Your son Dae Young."
"I sent him to medical school."
"Did I do well?"
Your sister.
Did you mean my dead aunt?
Yes.
Your aunt...
is...
your mom.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
You'll sell your house? Why?
I'm dead inside.
Why do you think I'd do this?
Because of the IOU?
Where will you live then?
How can I live with someone I've fallen out of love with?
If he won't give us a song after all this,
then we must give up.
Mr. Woo did love Genie a lot.
I hope he sees that and gives us a song.
I can't accept the rejection.
Let's go on a date.
- Just three times. - Just three dates?
