I'm taking Dong Hyun with me and that's that.
Who says you can take him?
You can't.
- Get out. Go. - Hey.
Hey. Let go of me!
My goodness. Why are you so strong?
I need to take Dong Hyun.
You can't take him.
- Get out of here! - Okay, okay, okay!
Hey.
What woman is so strong?
My gosh.
Hi, Mom.
Hey, where are you?
I'm at home.
When did you come home?
I was there until a while ago.
I got here a short while ago. Why?
Pack your things and come here.
Why?
Your dad and that woman won't stop fighting.
Come here and stay out of trouble.
Why do you adults tell me to come and go whenever you fight?
I don't feel inconvenienced. I'm doing just fine.
Will you just leave me alone?
Your dad left home.
Exactly.
He's not a teenager. Why would he leave home?
It's embarrassing.
Anyway, I won't go anywhere.
You have exams next week.
Your mom can't care for you. You can't go.
I have exams next week.
You're busy with your musical.
I'll stay here.
Will you live with that woman without your mom and dad?
I don't know.
Everything's fine with me.
Song Joo's nice and I can study.
Everything's just right.
So tell dad to make up his mind.
Whether he'll live with us or leave Song Joo.
Once he decides, I'll tell you my decision.
That really hurts.
He's your dad.
He fought you and got divorced.
Now, he's fighting Song Joo and might divorce.
What does that make me?
Do I have to follow him around?
You're almost done with middle school, right?
You're slowly growing out of puberty.
Okay, if you like living there without Mom and Dad, then stay.
Bye.
Is he saying that because he's mature or immature?
What a mess.
- Hello, ma'am. - A private loan?
What is all that about?
I didn't know,
but he financed the album with a private loan.
He said the mortgage loan from our plaza covered that.
That was long ago.
He got bank loans, credit lines, and even...
maxed out his credit card loans.
He ran out of options and got a private loan.
I'm so sorry about this.
My goodness. What should we do about this?
Where's Heo Se? Can you still not reach him?
If you can't pay back one loan,
the others will all come against you.
Creditors keep coming by...
and threaten him with legal action.
How many...
creditors are there?
About 6 or 7.
That's minus the bank.
That's the bigger problem.
We can deal with the banks somehow,
but the creditors and loan sharks won't give us a break.
He needs to be here to sort things out.
Can you try and find him?
Oh, no.
Do you want some water?
Just a moment.
(Oh Seo Jin, CEO)
Come in.
Congratulations.
I thought you'd be the first. What took you so long?
I hesitated whether to come or not.
I'm not a director or a supplier.
I wasn't sure if a mere team manager can bring the CEO flowers.
You're the one who made me CEO.
You're there because the previous CEO nominated you.
Would I be here if the new product hadn't done well...
on the home shopping network?
I owe all this to you, Ms. Cha...
I should say Manager Cha now.
Don't say that.
You showed me what to do.
We made a good team.
Work hard and become a director.
So we can work together again.
What?
Why are you giving me that scary glare?
Scold me if you're going to.
Why won't you keep your promise?
You said you'd treat me when I become a manager.
Will you eat out with me?
Can I treat you?
- When? - Today.
I'll make a reservation.
Shall we call Dae Young?
What do you like?
Anything in a quiet restaurant.
I have something to say.
You do?
What do you mean you might lose the house?
Heo Se went too far and took out loans...
even from loan sharks to make Dal Sook a star.
What should I do with him?
He told me to trust him...
and made me look like a fool.
What should I do now?
He lost his mind because...
he thought his wife could become huge.
Even if he lost his mind,
why did he release an album with a private loan?
Does he have a brain or not?
He didn't gamble or invest in stocks.
He spent it all on Dal Sook.
It's the same thing.
He wanted to make a fortune out of her.
I guess you're right.
So, how much does he owe?
I don't know.
They're talking about interest and late fees.
I can't even make sense of anything.
We should have tens of thousands in the bank at our age.
Look at us, deep in debt.
You need to stay strong. Don't cry.
Yes, Mi Rae's right. Think about the twins.
Sort this out first.
What can I do to sort out this mess?
I'm so scared.
I still have memories of...
creditors raiding our house, tearing...
my dad's shirt and chasing us to a small room.
I can't go through that again.
I'm so scared.
That's why you need to be strong.
Will you let the twins go through the same thing?
I can't.
I can't let that happen.
Then pull yourself together.
First, pay off the private loan with the highest interest rate.
Have you manager gather all the creditors.
Ask them how much you owe and discuss how to pay them back.
Okay.
I'm scared of creditors. Can I do this?
You can!
I'll stand behind you and stare them down.
If anyone so much as touches you,
I'll bite a chunk out of them.
Don't worry.
Mi Rae...
Make the call. Sort it out as soon as possible.
Okay.
Mr. Go.
Gather all the creditors for me.
Instead of Mr. Heo, his wife here...
would like to talk to you about the debt that...
I am...
Tak Heo Se's wife.
First of all, we failed to pay you back in time,
and I am so sorry about that.
I would like to apologize.
Today, I'd like to know how much we owe each of you,
and then I'll find out a way to pay you all back.
Did you bring the IOUs I asked to see?
- They gave them to me. - Okay.
(140,000 dollars)
(160,000 dollars)
He's crazy!
Oh, no.
Dal Sook.
Water, water.
- Okay. - Water.
Save me.
He lost his mind.
- Are you okay? - Drink this.
2 days. Give me just 2 days.
I will...
do whatever it takes to make the money,
find a way to pay you back, and give you all a call.
Do any of you have a problem with that?
Let me through.
You won't be entirely pleased, but bear with us.
This happened only because Mr. Tak meant well.
He's just too ashamed to face you in person.
His wife is determined to pay you back,
so I'd be grateful if you could give us two days.
Sit down.
You did well.
Do you want water? Or an aspirin?
No.
It's okay. I'm fine.
All that glaring exhausted me too.
You were really scary.
People like them...
look down on you if you don't do that.
My gosh. Thanks a lot.
Yes, you should laugh.
There's always a way out, you know.
How come you didn't know...
until things got this bad?
It's all my fault.
What made me think that chasing my dream now...
would pay the bills?
I thought passing the audition was my greatest opportunity.
It was my greatest misfortune.
Don't be so sure about that.
You just need one big break.
That one big break is the reason we're in this mess.
What'll you do now?
Can't you sell the plaza?
That's been worthless for a while...
with the mortgage and deposits.
I'm sorry.
I'll see what money I can gather.
It's not just that. There are the bank loans and private loans.
After selling everything off...
I wonder if we can even keep the house.
Don't worry.
Take my pay from the musical and home shopping network.
I'd rather take from a flea.
Ever seen such a pretty flea?
Tak Heo Se, this fool.
He made his wife look like a fool,
so where is he now?
Just wait until I find him.
It's such a huge mess that he must need time to think.
He'll come back soon.
Forget everything else and focus on the debt.
Okay. Thank you.
You're the reason I can get through this.
Let's all stay strong.
Oh, right, Jin Ok.
Call your CEO and say you're free for dinner.
Now?
I'd been a housewife my whole life.
Thanks for showing me what to do.
Really?
I think you're the one who showed me what to do.
All I did before this was work part-time at a fast food chain.
How could I show you what to do?
I didn't wander the world because...
I was rich and had nothing more to do.
I know a little about that.
One day, my mother told me something.
I used to wedge the door open when visiting her office.
Then one day I just stopped doing that.
Now you even sit alone in that office.
That's all thanks to you.
Do you know what...
my mother's first order was when she left?
"Make sure Cha Jin Ok stays with the company."
How do you know that?
It's a secret between us two.
Sir.
Don't be too nice to me.
If you open up to only one person in life,
things get hard.
What did I do to make you turn so scary?
Your fits of panic.
I didn't make them go away.
You worked so hard to save the company.
Your symptoms disappeared while you were doing just that.
Did my gaze bother you that much?
I feel bad...
and uncomfortable.
There are times when...
life is overwhelming...
and I'd just love to run away.
But this is me.
An ignorant housewife got this far...
thanks to your help.
I want to maintain this position as long as I can.
I'd like you to help me.
Did I say something?
Why do you have to draw a line?
I'm sorry.
Then...
I'll draw a clear line for you.
A competent worker.
A colleague I can talk to.
Sometimes an older sister.
That's it.
An older sister?
When I was in college,
I visited a friend who was from Gyeongsang-do.
His older sister had brought some side dishes that day.
My friend gruffly said,
"Why are you here?"
To that, his sister said,
"I came to see you."
That exchange.
"I came to see you."
To them, it was just a greeting.
I envied that friend so much.
Since then,
I wished that...
I had an older sister.
Okay.
It's worth being the older sister of a CEO.
Then you're my older sister now?
(Knowing Myself 2)
"What's my cellphone number?"
Hey.
I'm not demented enough to forget my own number.
Skip that.
"What are my strengths?"
- What's your strength? - My strength?
I don't know.
What is it?
What do you think my strengths are?
There aren't any.
What?
- How dare you? - Look at you now.
You always get angry.
There's one.
"Survival of the writer." Only those who write survive.
Don't you just rely on your memory.
Remember that.
Okay.
People who take notes have better memories.
Writing things down and reading them keeps your memory fresh.
There's a golden time to take notes.
The thought disappears after a minute.
What am I good at?
Dad.
Hey.
How are you?
Why did you bring him with you?
Dad, don't just yell.
Hear him out too.
What's there to hear?
I'd have broken his leg already if he weren't your superior.
So take him out of here quietly.
Dad. I told you he's my senior too.
Can't you let him sit down for my sake?
- Sit over here. - Okay.
Here.
These are for you and your father.
It's for you.
Is it a Christmas present?
They were gifts, but they're nice.
They're underwear.
Dad, he even got us presents.
Do you think that's a present?
It's a bribe for So Young.
Father.
I want to be with her.
I want to marry her.
What?
You thieving jerk. How dare you?
- Get out. - Dad, say yes.
I love him.
Love?
Is there no one else to love but someone this old?
Take him out before I shave your head and lock you up.
Dad, So Young's husband...
Hyeon U's a good guy.
You'll like him a lot if you spend a few days with him.
If you want to know what a good guy he is,
ask Doctor Jung whom you see regularly.
The reason he's still single...
is because he nursed his sick mother.
Are you two in on this? No.
You can't get married until I die.
Get out.
Get out of here!
- Father, I... - Get out of my store.
- Father. - Get out!
- Mom, what should I do? - Father.
Get out!
Do you dislike him that much?
I can't give my precious daughter to him.
I married you even though you were 12 years older.
Are you like So Young?
He's 20 years older.
I don't want a son-in-law like him.
That's that.
Come home right now.
If you don't,
I won't forgive you.
Heo Se.
Stop this nonsense and go home.
I'm here because I'm determined to get divorced,
but you can't run away forever.
I'm not here to avoid my family.
What if the creditors...
hurt Dal Sook or something?
They're all people I know, so they wouldn't do that.
They will scream for their money though.
What will you do then?
I'm still thinking.
Once I have the answer,
I'll go home even tomorrow.
Are you going to stay here...
when everything's been confiscated?
I don't know.
It's all or nothing now.
Oh, come on.
Think about Dong Hyun.
Don't make things worse and surrender and go home.
If I surrender and go home now,
she'll collar me and drag me around like a dog forever.
Your accounts were seized, and you can't run your clinic.
What are you going to do now?
A cornered rat will bite even a cat.
I'll soon bite the cat...
or end up getting eaten.
How did we both...
end up like this?
My goodness.
Oh, right.
You're out here...
because of what your wife did,
but I can't blame this on my wife.
What do you mean?
You got in debt trying to make your wife a star.
No.
It's all because of my own greed.
I wanted to make a fortune out of my wife's career.
That greedy thought...
was what filled my heart.
It's my greed.
My greed...
whispered in my ear.
Where are you going?
To the toilet?
No.
I let my greed cause this mess.
I'm being a coward.
Director Kang, I should go.
Wait.
Heo Se. Heo Se!
Dad.
Honey.
You jerk! You stupid fool!
Where were you all this while?
Why did you leave me and the kids on our own?
Honey...
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Dal Sook.
Dad, why are you doing this?
What man goes on his knees so easily?
Why are you kneeling anyway?
I'm sorry...
for running away.
I must've...
lost my mind and forgotten about you three.
It's all my fault.
I was too greedy.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
No. I'm sorry!
I should've kept my wits about me.
I just loved singing too much.
I should be sorry!
Mom, don't cry.
Il Lan, Yi Ran.
Dal Sook.
What should we do now?
I don't know. We lost everything!
Bye.
Why did you jump?
Because you appeared so suddenly.
That superior of yours.
Does he hassle you at work?
Why would he hassle me?
He likes me so much.
When you see him next time,
try taking to him calmly.
No thanks.
See you.
- Did Hyeon U leave? - Yes.
How long must we do this for?
It's not working. Move back to your place.
I suggested we do that for Hyeon U's sake,
but he said we can't leave.
Why not?
Because then he'll never gain Dad's approval.
He needs to gain approval quickly to care for Dad...
and stop his dementia from worsening.
What more can I say to that?
Can't you think of an idea that'll make your dad give in?
Shall I say I'm pregnant?
If I say that,
won't he have to let us marry then?
Don't you think he'll kill you before you walk down the aisle?
Would he hurt me if I'm with child?
Hello, Father.
Go away.
Father. Walking briskly...
helps prevent dementia and is good for patients.
Do you remember me suggesting that?
When did we meet for you to ever suggest that?
Your heart isn't the engine. Your feet are more like it.
Brisk walking is the best kind of exercise.
I told you that.
So Young must've told you something.
I'm just fine.
Don't you hang around me.
- What a fool. - Father. I sincerely love So Young.
Let us get married.
Then I'll help you...
and make sure that...
your dementia doesn't progress.
I'm an expert nurse.
Should I give away my daughter to get better?
If you take one step from that spot, I will beat you up.
Father.
- Did you enjoy your meal? - Yes, I did.
The card's not working.
What do you mean?
- It was suspended. - What?
That can't be.
Do you have another one?
Sure.
Try this one.
This one's suspended too.
Oh, dear.
This woman...
Hey!
Did you suspend my credit cards too?
Why would I suspend your credit cards?
Your accounts were seized.
Maybe that's why your cards were suspended.
At the soup restaurant? Why...
Hello? Joon Ho.
He doesn't even have seven dollars?
What?
She suspended your credit cards too?
What...
I've run out of curse words for her.
She's really scary.
She's dragging you to rock bottom...
She's trying to send you as low as you can go...
just to gain control over you.
The soup restaurant?
Why...
Hello? Joon Ho.
He doesn't even have seven dollars?
Yes. I don't even have seven dollars.
Let's see who brings the money.
I'm sorry, Mr. Go.
It's my fault.
No, sir. I should've told you more strongly what not to do.
No.
You did give advice.
You did,
but I was blinded by greed...
and didn't listen.
This wouldn't have happened if I'd...
supported Ms. Oh better.
I'm sorry I wasn't capable enough.
No.
You did your best.
We were too ignorant and fearless.
We got into an industry we knew nothing of.
If only we'd gotten Mr. Woo's song,
we wouldn't have gone down like this.
I guess I stepped on his tortoise because we weren't meant to do this.
It was a sign not to take any more steps.
I just didn't get it.
Have you heard from him...
since sending him the video of the funeral?
I guess he was very hurt.
He's no longer a viable option.
It's over for us too.
Mr. Go.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks.
I feel bad that this is the end.
Thanks for everything.
- Take care. - I will.
Goodbye.
What's going on?
Why won't anyone show up?
What if no one comes?
I don't think anyone's coming.
I'll call the police.
Wait!
I asked you to wait for a bit.
It's just a bowl of soup and rice.
(Tak Entertainment)
Well...
Will you stop crying over something like this?
It's not a small deal.
We lost the office today...
and tomorrow we'll lose the house.
Honey. The house.
Isn't there a way to keep that?
I'd like to, but...
I put so much work into that house.
I will...
get it back, so don't worry.
I swear with all I have.
Tak Heo Se. Stop thinking that you're all that.
What did you tell me when you started Tak Entertainment?
You said you'd make me Korea's best trot singer.
Look at the mess we're in.
You should just change your name.
To what?
- To Tak Shin Joong. - What?
Mister.
It's been two hours already.
Someone's on the way.
Give me some time.
I'm sorry. I can't do that anymore.
Wait!
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
When you were diagnosed,
I was with you. Don't you remember?
How dare you lie?
Do you think I'll let you marry So Young?
Life is full of ups and downs.
I was so pleased when I got the offer to become a singer.
Who thought I'd lose the house?
That's why they call life a roller-coaster.
Give Joon Ho back his clinic...
and bank accounts.
Joon Ho's really determined.
You're just driving him away.
You're driving me crazy.
You're ruining my plans.
What planet are you from?
