"Then I shall reject you with a wry grimace."
"Go away!"
Gosh. Oh, my!
Didn't I sound so charismatic just now?
"Charismatic?"
Reject someone with a wry grimace?
How would that look?
I shall reject you with a wry grimace!
Well, you shouldn't be rehearsing your lines now.
First,
let's warm up.
Shall we?
But how?
Like this?
This? How about this?
Like this?
I thought he was way too generous when he gave me two hours.
Turns out, he knows his daughter very well.
Pick up.
Please pick up, Jin Woo.
Hello?
Isn't it Jin Woo's phone?
He left his phone here.
It kept ringing, so I thought it was an urgent call.
That's why I picked up.
Where is that anyway?
- Sorry? - Forget it.
When Jin Woo comes back to collect his phone, please tell him...
to call Kang Se Na first.
I will...
When Jin Woo comes back to collect his phone, please tell him...
to call Kang Se Na first.
He should've gone back right away to find his phone.
Didn't he know I'd call?
What's he doing with her that he's not checking his phone?
Darn it.
One, two...
- Catch me if you can! - Hold on. Wait up!
- Hey, wait! - Catch me if you can!
Jin Woo and Se Na. They're common names.
They just happen to have the same names.
There are many people with the same names.
What did Jin Woo look like?
Does he look like him?
I can't remember.
No. That can't be.
What in the world am I thinking now?
It makes no sense!
Such a coincidence isn't possible.
It'd better not be true.
Just one thing...
Let me check just one thing.
I'm sorry I'm doing this without your permission.
Please...
Please, it can't be true.
Jin Woo.
It was Jin Woo.
Faster.
Go faster!
Faster!
Stop! At ease.
Hey! This is your way of getting back at me, isn't it?
Come on. What are you talking about? I take warm-up sessions very seriously.
Besides, all actors warm up like this before they act.
And instead of "Hey,"
how about you call me "Mr. Director?"
Then will you call me "Ms. Actress?"
Just stick to "National Anthem."
Then call me "Tinker Bell."
Come on. That's too cute.
So what? Why is that a problem?
Well, it's embarrassing.
And it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Tinker Bell.
It rolls off the tongue so smoothly.
Then how about I call you "Moth?"
What?
Isn't Tinker Bell a type of moth?
You're "National Anthem." Why can't I be a cute fairy?
All right, fine. Then I shall call you Juliet.
Since you're playing Juliet,
it'll help you get emotionally immersed in the role.
Juliet is so perfect. I love this idea.
Oh, Romeo.
My dear Romeo, where are you? My Romeo.
I don't see you, darling. I'm right here!
Where are you, Romeo?
Romeo?
Honey!
Your shoes are here. Are you asleep?
Honey!
Honey! Come out for a second.
Honey!
Honey, what's wrong?
Honey.
Hello? My wife collapsed.
Honey!
Chae Young Eun's beauty therapy!
This vegan exfoliation treatment effectively removes dead skin cells...
and helps brighten your complexion...
while preventing hyperpigmentation and fine lines.
Thank you, Director Chae.
Director Chae, what is the daily advice for today?
- All right, here we go. - Okay.
"Business leaders who leave a good impression on their employees..."
"can build a positive company culture."
"Then what should you do to leave a good impression on others?"
"You should smile as often as you can."
"When you smile, try to lift the corners of your mouth toward your ears."
"Your facial muscles weaken with age and begin to sag."
"Smile as often as you can to look more lively,"
"and it'll naturally help firm up your facial muscles too."
How sexy! I thought James Dean came back from the dead.
How about a dance with James Ha?
Let me drink this first. Then we can dance all we want, James Ha.
All right.
I have such a perfect life. I live like a king.
I have a personal facialist,
and my personal anchor reads such inspirational words to me...
in her beautiful voice.
Beautiful voice, my foot.
You see, your voice ages too.
What are you talking about? Your voice hasn't changed at all.
Honey, don't you want to work?
Who'd hire me at this age?
I can't just grab a microphone and start hosting shows.
No one will knock on your door with job offers if you wait.
If you want to work, you should look for a job.
I'm not saying this just to flatter you. The facials you give me...
are way better than the ones I'd get at dermatologists' clinics.
Look at Jin Woo.
He was covered in weeping scabs, but he has such clear skin now.
It's all thanks to you.
I was so desperate back then.
When I could see that Jin Woo's condition was visibly improving,
it excited me and motivated me to look for better ingredients.
I was surprised and impressed...
when I saw that you wanted to do everything properly.
"I heard this was good, so I should give this a shot."
You didn't approach it like that.
You started studying how the human body and skin worked,
as if you were a medical student.
I felt like I'd just end up...
experimenting on Jin Woo's skin without such basic knowledge.
That's why I studied.
Yes, exactly. There's nothing you can't do with a mindset like that.
This will be a lengthy conversation, so we should snack on something.
- You want a snack too, right? - Sure.
Okay!
- Honey. - Yes?
When I was working as an anchor, it was so competitive,
and the memories still haunt me to this day.
I know I should be prepared to work as hard if I were to start something new,
so I couldn't bring myself to think about it.
I doubted that I'd be able to work that hard at this age.
But I'm going to write something, honey.
Can you go over it and tell me how I could make it better?
I really can't hold back. You're just so lovely.
I'll get you some coffee.
- Okay, thank you. - No problem.
Yes. I can certainly start a cosmetics company like Shine.
Even Kang Chi Hwan is doing it when he knows nothing about cosmetics.
Let's drink.
There's this country with the most citizens who want...
to become rich and show off their wealth. Guess which country it is.
It's our country. The Republic of Korea.
"Where do you live? How big is your place?"
"Do you own your place? Or are you renting?"
"What do your parents do?"
People ask such personal questions to judge you.
You're judged based on your academic credentials, job, and looks.
And you're graded accordingly. You see it all the time.
In the past, being frugal was considered a virtue...
when bluffing was a subject of criticism.
But how is it now?
You need to look rich for better treatment...
and to avoid unfair circumstances.
(Price Tag)
Just how pathetic it is to be seen poor and weak.
How easy it is to be mistreated...
You can sense it with experience.
You learn to know that living a frugal life...
would only come back as shame and humiliation.
Guess what a man or a woman purchases most easily for themselves...
when they get extra money.
Cosmetics.
- Oh, really? - Is that right?
We're launching SENA, the new brand for young and rich noblesse ladies.
It will allow ordinary women in their teens and 20s...
to feel like they are cosmetics models.
At the same time, they will experience the fantasy...
of becoming rich themselves.
Is it possible though?
If you can't buy it, just have your drink.
No wonder you were so confident.
It's going to be so annoying to see him so rich and proud.
Well, you'll have to bear with it.
I won't just become rich.
This summer, I'll swim in a pool of money bills.
I'm starting to feel jealous already.
Oh, let's just drink.
Mr. Kang, I recently sold a building.
I want you to manage the money.
- Hey. - Oh, sir.
Let's go.
You've never been in love, have you?
Love?
Yes, I have.
Deeply.
That can't be true at all.
Yes, I have absolutely been in love.
You've already confessed you haven't.
- I have? - It shows from your acting.
You can't hide it.
Is it that obvious?
Gosh, the director is too mean.
He knew what his daughter was like and still made her play Juliet?
How cruel.
It's a test, remember?
Then tell me.
Juliet was in love.
How did she feel?
What about you? Have you ever been in love?
Yes,
deeply in love.
Really?
Fine, teach me.
When was it?
I didn't realize it back then,
but now that I look back, I think it's my first love.
My heart aches to think of her, but my lips grin.
I might tear up when I see her, but I want to see her.
You know the word, "imprint," right?
I feel like...
she's imprinted on my mind like a tattoo.
I see.
That's why men can never forget their first love.
Her words, behaviors, and smile.
I remember everything vividly.
So it's imprinted as a video.
Right.
The weather, the smell,
the stream temperature,
and the warm sunshine of that day.
The ridge between rice fields where we used to run about.
That feeling.
Even the smell of grass. I remember everything.
Our conversations.
The sound of her laugh.
I just need to press the button to play it automatically.
It's unforgettable.
She's lucky...
that someone remembers her like this.
Why don't you meet her once? Did you try reaching her?
I can't do that now.
Why not? Is she abroad?
Somewhere farther away.
Up above.
How silly of me to tell you this in the middle of practice.
Let's practice acting.
Hi, Dad.
What? Mom?
His wife?
Dad.
What happened to Mom? Why all of a sudden...
What did the doctor say? Why did she collapse?
- Mom. - Jung Im.
Jung Im.
What on earth happened?
She fainted?
Why? She was just fine.
How did you come all the way here?
Yi Chang, what do you take me for?
You're worrying about the unattended store when your wife's unconscious?
That's not important right now.
Gosh, I was so anxious...
that I don't even remember how I got here.
Oh, my.
- Leza? - Yes, ma'am...
You're that sleeky boy. What are you doing here?
- Come with me for a bit. - Sure.
You're always busy taking care of strangers.
This is not like you to be here.
How frustrating.
Raising a child who's not even her own...
You don't know why she collapsed, do you?
All she cares about is you.
She sacrifices everything only for you.
But you're so into putting makeup on others for free.
What did you do when your mom got sick to the point she fainted?
So much for her only daughter.
Raising a child is no use whatsoever.
Your mom's love. Your mom's sacrifice.
Don't take any of them for granted.
Nothing is for free in this world.
Yes, I know.
If you know... What if things got unfortunate...
and your mom couldn't make it?
Please don't say that, great-aunt.
That must never happen.
- This is yours, right? - Oh, yes.
I left it charging.
I found it on the floor.
Anyway, I don't think I can keep the promise today.
Gosh, that doesn't matter.
You must've been shocked.
She was fine until this morning.
Tell me about it.
They ran some tests on her. We'll know why when the results are out.
I'm clueless as to why she collapsed.
What is it this time?
You need to talk to Se Na.
I heard you told Se Na that her pride mattered the most...
and so she shouldn't yield to anyone.
It'd be different if she were...
an ordinary college student or an office worker.
That attitude could cause issues once she becomes a cosmetics model.
She wouldn't listen to me, so you need to tell her off.
Pride does matter.
Being humble isn't a virtue anymore.
That's not what I'm talking about.
She's been stubborn since childhood.
As she pleased and wanted,
she's done and bought everything.
My dad, you, and I are not the friendly type.
And she takes after us. Even if she doesn't mean any harm,
she speaks in a misguiding way.
When she's mad or upset,
she uses sharp and outspoken words to make things go her way.
You know it too.
Ever since she was little, she could be unreasonably stubborn.
We did all she wanted to avoid dealing with her tantrum,
which came this far.
Is it not that she takes after you?
It's considered a strength and charm...
to be straightforward without holding back.
That's also a characteristic of her generation.
Now I'm getting a headache. I feel like I'm talking to a wall.
I just can't communicate with you.
Come on. Did something happen?
This morning...
Do Hyun turned out to be really smart.
It seemed really difficult, but he explained it so well.
"I'm Do Hyun's uncle."
I felt so proud.
Even so, you shouldn't have kept him with you all day.
Don't even get me started.
The chairman and the president listened to him carefully.
From start to finish, they paid close attention...
not to miss a single word he said.
Of course, they had to.
My dear prosecutor used his time for them without getting paid.
Right, of course.
Anyway, what's that?
Do Hyun.
My dear prosecutor, come out for a sec.
What is this?
A suit for my admirable prosecutor.
I'm so proud of you, my son.
Even when you passed the difficult bar exam,
I couldn't get you a decent suit.
I make money for you,
but I realized I never spent any,
thinking I'd buy you a house when you get married.
What is this? Isn't it from a designer brand?
Did you get struck by lightning or what?
Gosh, you even buy bread only when it's on sale.
What's gotten into you?
Buying designer goods is no big deal.
The first time was difficult, but it's pretty doable.
I never thought...
I'd buy a designer good myself in my entire life.
I didn't think I'd even go any close to designer shops.
But now that I bought one, it's no big deal.
To imagine my prosecutor in that suit on his first day at work,
I was on cloud nine.
I felt so proud...
with my shoulders all straightened.
As I was coming back with this on a bus,
I was dying to bluff that I bought this suit.
This must be why people buy luxurious purses and watches.
Goodness.
It was the first time I had this feeling.
Gosh.
Hello, sir.
Right now? Sure thing.
Does Mr. Kang want you to come over?
I was meaning to pay you more this month...
as a token of gratitude.
I guess he's going to give it to me just in time.
Give you what?
Nothing. I'm off to the main house.
Why does Mr. Kang want to see her at this hour?
No prosecutor gets treated like this.
You're suffering from this kind of humiliation...
because you are my son.
I am...
sorry, my son.
What is this? Isn't it from a designer brand?
Do Hyun.
Hey, where are you going?
Mom.
Why did you collapse so suddenly?
Why?
(Meant to be)
He's acting strange, isn't he?
I bet he's embarrassed because he spent the night with a woman.
I feel happy.
I love Ha Jin Woo so much.
What do the results say?
Why did she faint all of a sudden?
Is it "Road of Spring" by Yoon Yi Chang?
How did you know?
Stop working at my house.
Gosh, Mr. Kang. Please forgive me.
Mom, what is going on?
