(Episode 78)
There are so many bills to pay every month.
Hang on.
"Loan payment in arrears"?
What's this?
This can't be.
"Unpaid interest"?
My gosh.
Mr. Go, it's Oh Dal Sook.
Where are you?
Why did you ask me to come to your home?
- Mr. Go. - Yes, Ms. Oh Dal Sook.
I'm not here as Oh Dal Sook the singer.
Then what?
I'm here as the wife of Tak Heo Se, the CEO of Tak Entertainment,
I have a few questions.
What? Oh, okay, ma'am.
You know what that is, don't you?
Is Tak Entertainment in debt?
I'm not sure if I should tell you this or not.
Tell the honest truth and don't hide anything.
Well, if that's what you say.
Ma'am.
You must stop your husband.
If he goes on like this, we'll close down in a month.
What are you saying?
I perform regularly,
and my husband still works at his real estate agency.
It's not bad enough to go bankrupt.
I haven't been singing that long.
How much could we have spent so far?
Mr. Heo quit his real estate business long ago.
He pays me...
and your van that's a rental,
You spend more on food than you make,
and whenever he meets industry people,
he gives them lots of money.
What? He gave bribes too?
He's crazy.
Your album too.
I told him we should release a single,
but he signed for eight songs without telling me.
However much you need investing in, this isn't right.
He's running the business into the ground.
Is it that bad?
Now my salary's late.
Where is he now?
Give me a little time.
I'll wire it to you soon.
Hello? Hello?
Hello, honey.
Why...
the long face?
Is something wrong?
Yes. Something's wrong.
It could be even worse.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Go, what's going on?
What have you been up to?
We have debts?
How much of other people's money did you spend?
Come on, Mr. Go.
What is she talking about?
Don't blame him.
You're creating all the problems.
I didn't think you were like that.
What kind of a man goes and...
tells someone about this?
Why didn't you spend that time to do your job?
I didn't tattle. She asked and I answered.
Should I have spent with you...
until we end up down and out?
- What? - You got us in this mess.
That's the extent of your logic.
That's why you're a manager and I'm a CEO, okay?
Yes, sure, is that why you can't pay me on time?
Why don't you stick bills on the album...
and hand them out in Yeouido?
That would be quicker.
What?
- How dare you... - Stop!
Stop it, both of you.
I just can't take this anymore.
I'm Tak Entertainment's main singer, and I'll make the call.
As of today, Tak Entertainment's closed!
What? Honey.
Ma'am.
However angry you may be,
how could you say that around Mr. Go?
I'm really hurt.
Do you think that's what's important here?
Tell me the truth. How much debt do we have?
It's not a lot.
If you become famous,
we can pay it right back.
How much debt do we have that we can pay it right back?
Well, I don't know exactly,
but I got a loan on the shopping plaza we own,
then I got a credit line, three credit card loans,
some cash I got together...
Have you lost your mind?
My dad's debt ruined our family,
so debts scare me more than anything.
How could you do this to me without telling me a thing?
It's not like I gambled or bought shares like other people.
I did this to make you a star.
That's why you should've talked to me first.
I don't want to go this far just to sing.
Becoming a singer isn't just your dream now.
It's my dream too.
I'm no longer...
a district council member or real estate agent.
I'm the CEO of Tak Entertainment.
We can make our dream come true in no time.
You say that because you don't know how scary debt is.
Money is easy to borrow and so hard to pay back.
This won't do.
Let's pay back the credit cards first.
I want to do that too.
But with what money?
The rent from our plaza.
No, let's sell the plaza.
Let's sell the building and settle everything.
Didn't you hear me?
I got a loan on that building.
I know, so let's sell it and repay the loans with what we get.
I won't get anything even if we sell the building.
Apart from the tenants' deposits, the bank owns everything.
Where did you spend all that money?
Think about it.
The office, Mr. Go's salary,
the cars, and the gigs.
We spent more than what we made.
And I had to entertain the industry people too.
Who goes into debt just to become a singer?
Did I ask you to do that?
I promised to support you wholeheartedly.
It's always darkest before the sun rises.
Hang in there with us, okay?
Just until we release your song.
Stop it.
We'll lose everything waiting for the sunrise.
I can't stand being in debt, so that's final.
Honey, when your album comes out,
it'll pay everything back.
What if you got paid double to sing at a gig?
We can make a comeback in no time.
This is nothing to people who run a business.
Do you trust me?
I do trust you, but...
Then all is well.
I'll tell Mr. Go to get your song right now.
You just trust me, okay?
Okay?
It's not okay.
Do you see it? You tap blocks that are the same color,
and they disappear to give you points.
Why is a phone's screen so dizzying?
This is the easiest game.
Puzzles or number games are good for memory.
Play this 30 minutes a day.
My gosh.
Look. You press the screen like this.
Do this to make blocks disappear.
Forget it.
Don't you consider my age?
Who cares if it helps me?
It's too blurry, and I can't see.
Find something else.
Okay. I'll find something better.
Hey, Dae Young.
- What are you doing? - What?
Why won't you say anything when I'm being nasty?
"Don't shout at me."
"I just can't talk to you."
Say what you usually say.
You're too weak for a boy.
- Okay. - What? "Okay"?
This is why I didn't tell you.
In case you felt bad and started to tiptoe around.
- I'm sorry. - You're getting worse.
I'll yell at your mom then. Shall I call her?
Dad.
Take it out on me. Why would you call Mom?
There. That's more like my son.
Dad.
Finish organizing what you started.
Hyeon U teaches me guitar today.
Okay.
What's he saying?
Pack the things you need right away.
Your books and uniform.
My uniform? Are we going somewhere?
You and I are moving out.
You're running away from home?
I'm not running away.
I'm going to divorce Song Joo.
I discussed it with you last time.
That wasn't a discussion. You just tested how I felt.
Anyway, I made up my mind.
You told me to do what I want.
I thought about it, and this is my decision.
So pack your things.
No. I'm staying.
Hey. Why would you stay here when I'm moving out?
You're my son. Kang Joon Ho's son.
Where will we stay in the freezing winter?
Anywhere else.
Maybe your mom's.
Will she take you in?
That's why I need you with me.
Let's show up with this suitcase...
and beg her to let us stay.
Dad. That doesn't work with Mom.
If you're going to do whatever you want anyway,
you adults can sort out your adult problems first.
Hey. Why are you so uncooperative?
Just do as I say.
I'm not a tag-along that does whatever you want.
Or a suitcase that follows you when you move house.
Hey. When did I say you are?
Why would you say that?
If you want to divorce Stepmom,
sort it out and sign the papers first.
I'm staying here until then.
Why do you think I'm going to this extent?
Don't you admit that your stepmom's weird?
We can't get divorced as long as we live here.
So let's move out.
I'm sorry, but I don't trust you.
I need to study.
You can leave on your own. I'm staying.
Must you be like this?
Dad. I said I'm not going.
What are you doing?
I'm packing.
Hey. Step aside.
- Don't. - We're leaving.
Stop it. I said I'm not leaving.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Can't you see?
Dong Hyun and I are leaving. That's that.
If you don't want that, sign the divorce papers now.
I said I'm not leaving.
Kang Dong Hyun.
Dong Hyun said he's staying.
Are you even more of a child than he is?
I don't care what you say.
I'm taking Dong Hyun with me, and that's that.
Come here, Dong Hyun.
No, I'm not going.
He said he's not leaving.
You give up too, or leave on your own.
Kang Dong Hyun, I'll really leave on my own.
Do you think I can't? Watch me!
Dad.
Joon Ho.
Don't go, Dad.
I'm the teenager. Why are you acting like this?
You disloyal fool.
Enjoy yourself here for a while.
Look after him well.
Joon Ho.
Dad.
Hey, Dad.
Dad.
You're pretty good.
Let's play a bit more.
Have a tangerine.
Let's try it again.
- From here to... - That's the hard part.
- Yes. It's the sudden chord change. - It's like a waltz.
It's a waltz.
- You'll get used to it. - Dad.
Thanks.
- Are you not done yet? - No, I'm done.
What? Do you want something?
Mom.
What?
Can I hug you?
You're being weird for a grown-up.
But still.
Just once.
Mom, Mom, Mom.
Mom.
I'm right here.
Mom's here, Dae Young.
Mom.
Will you...
always be my mom?
Of course.
Until the world ends, I will be...
your mom.
Thank you, Mom.
What are you two doing, leaving me right out?
You were like this as a kid.
If you keep doing that, I'll get upset and throw a tantrum.
You have Hyeon U. He's your family now.
I'm still part of this one too.
I want a hug too.
- Me too. A hug. - No.
- It's just for me. - Why?
- I'll hug you too. - Me too.
Get off me. I can't breathe.
Father. You see the doctor tomorrow, don't you?
Yes, I do.
I'm too busy tomorrow morning,
so I can't go with you.
So Young starts in the afternoon, so come with her.
Okay, I'll do that.
You don't think I got worse, do you?
You've been in a good condition lately,
and you haven't been forgetful.
Oh, at the store, you did...
all the math in your head.
I did.
I sleep well at night these days and am lucid during the day.
I think so too.
Don't worry too much.
Start playing from this part here.
Let's see. It's do, right?
- How are you? - Why were you out so late?
Why do you care if I'm out or back late?
There are a lot of strange people.
So go on inside and get some rest.
Okay.
You can't go in just yet. Let's talk.
- Excuse me. - Go on your way.
You should be the one...
to go back to your wife.
What are you doing?
Stop causing a fuss outside my place and go home, both of you.
Mi Rae, I have something to say.
Mi Rae. I can't leave with him here.
Will you two both just go home?
If you do this once more,
I'll cut you both out of my life, okay?
Mi Rae. Mi Rae.
- Mi Rae. Mi Rae. - Mi Rae. Mi Rae.
Are you toying with my Mi Rae?
You're too young. You won't even marry her.
Whether I marry her or date her,
what do you care?
You should know better than to start what you can't finish.
I'll give you a nice warning. Don't you date my Mi Rae.
Get going already.
You can leave first.
I won't leave until you do.
What? You'll what?
I'm Mi Rae's ex-husband,
and we have a son together.
So you can get going.
Mr. Ex-husband.
Don't you hang out here with that suitcase and go home.
You aren't thinking of leeching off Mi Rae, are you?
Leech... What?
I had to bring a few things, that's all.
You don't know anything.
I'll leave not because of you, but because I'm afraid...
her neighbors might complain to her.
You go on your way too. Hurry.
How can I believe you?
I'm leaving, okay? You go too.
We can leave at the same time.
On the count of three, let's leave together.
What? My gosh, that's so childish.
One.
Oh, come on. We aren't kids.
- 2. - 3, 3! Let's go!
My gosh.
Too bad, Joon Ho.
It looks like I needn't worry about Sister.
"Mi Rae"?
A date?
He's just a kid.
He should date someone his age.
How dare he go after Mi Rae?
First, I'll get that divorce.
Here it is.
It's freezing.
Kang Joon Ho. Don't get too down.
I will get divorced and go back to Mi Rae.
It's so cold.
I can't tell if this is outside or inside.
Gosh, it's cold.
(Jeil Hospital)
Gosh, you're so much better.
Your cognitive ability has gone up,
and your space cognition isn't too bad either.
Is that so?
That's a relief.
You haven't gotten lost again, have you?
I haven't.
My son walks me to and back from work.
I follow him from a short distance,
and he didn't show any odd behavior.
Keep doing what you're doing.
It's important to stay at this level...
and not get any worse.
Okay. I'll do that.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
(Psychiatry)
You're done already?
Thank you.
Thanks. I owe it to you.
Thank you.
What did the doctor say?
His cognitive ability's improved.
His space cognition improved too.
It's great.
Congratulations, Father. I'm so relieved.
I owe it all to you. Thank you.
I didn't do anything.
Your family did.
No. You did the most out of us all, Hyeon U.
That's right. Thank you.
It's because your father kept up.
You did well, and so did your mother.
You're my eldest son. Thank you.
You all must eat lunch.
I'll buy you something tasty nearby.
- Let's go. - Okay.
(Love Animals Animal Hospital)
Are you ready to leave?
Yes. Will you spend the night here again?
Yes. Go on home.
Shall I order you some food?
I'll make some ramyeon.
Don't mind me and go home.
Okay.
(Tak Heo Se)
Hello.
Really? Yes, I'll come right now.
You need to know that you got really lucky.
The housing market's frozen solid,
but a buyer showed up after one day.
It's all on me.
Despite my busy schedule,
- I tried really hard for... - Yes, yes, I get it.
I owe you.
Will they pay me a decent price?
If they can move in right away,
they'll give you what you want.
How soon is right away?
The sooner the better.
It's a young couple getting married next month.
You should talk to your wife.
You need to set a moving date.
Why should I tell her when we're getting divorced?
You can't throw out someone who's living there.
Go and talk to her.
Dong Hyun's still there too.
Please set up a meeting for whenever the couple's free.
I'll come and sign the papers.
I'll tell Song Joo when I pay her half of what I owe.
She's rich. She'll be able to get another place.
Will you please not mess up this time?
You're too emotional. That's your problem.
I won't mess up this time. I won't.
Do you eat regularly? You're a right mess.
Did you forget that you did this to me?
Are you coming back?
Where's the suitcase?
Where's Dong Hyun? Is he out?
He's at class.
Where's your suitcase?
I'm not moving back in.
I dropped by to talk to you.
About what?
I'm selling this apartment.
I'll wire you the money when I get it.
Joon Ho. Who said you can sell the apartment?
You told me to pay you back to divorce you.
That's why I'm selling it.
Will you really divorce me?
How many times must I tell you?
I'm sick and tired of you.
You spy on and monitor me and torture those around me.
And you show no remorse.
I won't live with you anymore.
Joon Ho.
When the papers are signed, I'll call and pick up Dong Hyun.
Find a place yourself.
Wait and see.
You can't sell this apartment without my permission.
Think what you want.
Divorce? Says who?
You can never divorce me.
That's what you need to know about the product.
We'll rehearse the rest on set.
Okay.
We took a lot of your time. I'll take you home.
You really don't have to.
It's fine.
I took a lot of your time too. I'll take you home.
Oh, it's Jin Ok you want to give a lift to, not me.
Don't be silly.
It's fine. We can manage ourselves.
Don't be like that. Let's go.
No, it's because a friend's coming to get us.
- A friend? - Yes.
The one who sang in the chicken costume.
That's right, she's coming to get us.
She should be here by now.
There she is.
- Hello. - Hello.
Are you all going out?
I got paid to be your model.
So I'm going to treat my friends.
Oh, do you want to join us?
Gosh, no. What are you saying?
We should get going then.
- Goodbye. - Right.
- Director. - We're leaving.
- You can come too. - Why are you pushing me?
- Will you stop pushing me? - Why can't he come?
- My gosh. Hey. - Hey.
What got into you two? Are you enjoying yourselves?
Yes, I am. It's so fun. Isn't it?
Look at her blush as if she's a girl.
I can't let it go at this. I'll try again.
- Director. - Are you crazy?
- Will you come with us? - Let's get out of here.
I got my first model paycheck.
I said I'd treat you to something nice. What is this?
This is good enough.
Why would we spend money to wait outside?
There's no place like home.
That's right. We have a lot on our minds.
We can chat noisily here.
What's there to chat noisily about?
Why isn't there?
We have Cha Jin Ok here.
Hey, tell the truth.
Are you and the director into it? Do you feel warm inside?
What's there to feel warm about?
What are you saying? There's nothing going on at all.
There isn't nothing going on. There definitely is something.
I know what that is.
Don't.
There is something going on, isn't there?
Why don't I know? Am I being left out? Talk to me.
Her director likes her.
Right?
I had that feeling when I saw them by the Han River.
Stop talking nonsense.
Why would he like me?
Why can't he?
You work together all day every day. Don't you agree?
I don't. He's way younger than me.
He's nice to me for Dae Young's sake.
Why would he like someone as old as I am?
Then why did you avoid him?
You acted like you felt bothered.
If you're that bothered, that means you're not entirely uninterested.
Don't be silly.
How can I be interested in him at my age?
We're not saying you should cheat.
Is it wrong for your heart to be fluttered?
Our body ages but not our soul.
Who says your soul doesn't age?
I know how this excitement will end,
and I'll only make a fool of myself.
It means you're old when you hesitate like that.
I guess you're right.
Why are you acting out of character?
You and Jin Ok are completely different.
You're a divorcee, and your ex is already married.
Just enjoy yourself.
She's right. See where it goes.
Why do you want me to do something you can't?
Do I look that easy?
No. You're really tough to crack.
Like Dal Sook said, you're divorced.
It's not like you will go back to Joon Ho.
I want you to have someone by your side.
I don't know. I'm sick of everything.
I wish we had both genders inside us like amoebas.
Let's forget about men and just celebrate.
Okay.
We'll celebrate Mi Rae's model debut...
and wish for Jin Ok's success.
I wish I could be a success too.
Right. A toast to Dal Sook and Mi Rae's success.
To us.
I want to be a huge hit, so I'll use a big piece.
I'm going to be awesome.
(Gana Capital)
(Reject call)
(Oh Dal Sook, A Newcomer on the Highway!)
Honey. Our songs are finally out.
Congratulations, Mom.
Congratulations. I'm so proud of you.
Thanks, kids.
I finally have an album with my name on it.
Look at this.
"The Goddess of Trot".
"A Newcomer on the Highway, Oh Dal Sook".
Honey, thank you so much.
Mr. Go, you did so well too.
The real problem is from now on.
The album's out, so now we must promote it.
This is why I like Mr. Go.
You're so cool.
- Mr. Go, let's do this. - Okay.
I will work so much harder.
Me too. I'll do as you say and study hard.
Please do that.
Wait. We shouldn't be in this office.
We should have a party to celebrate the new album.
A party?
Ox bone soup. Ox bone...
- Father. - Thief!
- What? - Why you...
Gosh! Father!
You thief!
- Father. - Who are you?
Father, Father.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Master Sagong's pretty amazing.
I've known Mi Rae for over 20 years.
Does love change someone so immensely?
This is my place. Let's have a date here.
Not even a thousand dates will change my mind.
Do you have plans to move house?
What's the matter? You've been down for days.
You don't joke or smile.
Director, I'm grateful of your concern for me,
but I don't want to discuss my life at work.
Excuse me, sir.
Are you crazy? Why call me that?
Did you hurt your forehead? You're so clumsy.
Keep your wits about you.
