(Episode 126)
Why could you not stop?
I guess the brake has broken down.
You're always like that to me.
I guess so.
You could've called me to pick you up since you got off now.
There's traffic...
and I don't want you to overdo it as you began driving...
after getting over your trauma.
The workshop is a 20-minute distance,
so I like going on foot as an exercise.
How did it go with your new piece?
How far are you in? Did she meet me?
- Are things going well between us? - Sure.
They're all lovey-dovey and being a cute couple.
Make me look fabulous, okay?
Obviously.
You're the only sane character who's worth seeing in the drama.
Who said that? Was it the director?
Ms. Bae did.
But she asked why such an awesome guy likes her.
What? How could she not know why?
I know.
What is the expert assistant writer like? Was she okay?
I think I'll have to find out.
You've become the wife of a rich family after moving away,
so why would you work part-time?
I do it for fun and to pass my time.
- Can't I? - You got addicted to this town.
You know Grandma Ye Ja among my members, right?
She's going to make a debut as a singer.
Apparently, the concept of a new elderly singer works.
Making it big and being successful is only a matter of time.
Goodness. Say that to me after you make it.
Just you wait.
I'll soon be on friendly terms with Lee Soo Man and Park Jin Young.
My gosh. Seriously.
Say that to me after you set a lunch appointment with them.
What's with you?
She'll soon release her album and debut on cable, so watch it.
Don't ask me to get you free tickets if she collaborates with Na Hoon A.
For goodness's sake.
There's no one as good as you when it comes to biting the dust.
I know what you're doing.
You're jealous because things are going well for me.
Why don't you take up a challenge too?
Chairman is having the time of his life in a theater group as well.
But what would you pick up?
You're not familiar with anything.
Do you have news, honey?
Do you know who's doing the role of Bok Soon in our drama?
Actress Shin Ji Hyun is doing it.
Seriously? I like that actress.
Don't you think it's going to happen since she's joining it?
I guess so.
It was hard to believe, so I asked if Shin Ji Hyun signed the deal.
They said I'm the only writer who was so doubtful and kept asking.
- It is about signing the deal. - Right?
So did she seal the deal?
No, she hasn't yet.
But they said it's going to happen.
I asked how that could be the case without the deal,
but they told me to trust him.
Then why don't we give this a chance?
If it gets called off, so be it.
We only need to find the right guy for the male lead.
They should have great chemistry.
Will you be working on your script from today, then?
Yes. I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
I'll get off early so I'll hang out with Eun Su in the playground.
Thank you.
You're the best, honey.
They won't give me a chance at the interview...
just because of my conviction. How cheap.
Are you going somewhere?
- It's none of your concern. - Hold on a second.
I heard you're running an acting academy.
No, it's not.
It's Suk Entertainment.
I haven't changed the signboard yet.
So you're sending actors to the filming sites, right?
Won't you need a road manager?
It's unnecessary.
Also, even if I needed someone, it won't be you. Geez.
You don't know how well I drive.
No one takes my side in this world.
- Have you been somewhere? - Yes.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes.
Right.
Hey, by the way.
Don't take this the wrong way.
If you don't like the small room, do you want to lodge here?
What?
You don't like feeling locked up.
I don't have any ulterior motives or anything.
I have someone on my mind although it's not going to happen.
- Is it Bok Hee? - Yes.
But I'm at a loss trying to go through this as an ex-convict.
I think I need someone to rely on.
Someone who'd understand me, you know?
We'll have Bok Hee and Si Kyung in our hearts respectively...
but only share the space?
I guess that's about right.
Fair enough, then.
Okay. I'll think about it.
Can I go over to your place later?
All right.
(Ki Eun Ha, Father Ki Si Kyung, Mother Ko Bok Hee)
Would you knock?
Who are you going to write in the father's section?
I'll write down Mr. Jang since he's our dad now.
I guess that's appropriate.
But why did you write "Ki Si Kyung?"
We can't say we're Jang Eun Ha and Jang Eun Su.
It'd be a hassle to have different surnames.
So let's just write them like this.
This won't go on the school record, and they're not checking either.
Would it be okay?
Can you fix mine too?
(Ki Eun Su, Father Ki Si Kyung, Mother Ko Bok Hee)
When she comes home after that,
her father-in-law appears and makes her go mad.
How about smacking the back of her father-in-law's head?
We can't put scenes that go against humanity.
Just in imagination, not for real.
Even in her imagination, beating the in-law does not...
meet the sentiment of the public.
We'll get a warning.
And the Korean Father-in-law Association won't stand back.
Then...
Are you not ready yet?
Where is he?
He organized his desk just as I did when I was a kid.
(Ki Eun Su, Father Ki Si Kyung Mother Ko Bok Hee)
Ki Si Kyung?
Mr. Jang.
- Let's go. - Sure.
Hello! This is "Wonderful Prison Playbook." I'm Ji Ae!
I told you about how I got kicked out of school last time.
Today, I'll tell you...
about my time with her in prison.
Yes, it's her. Freak Sang Ah.
I was in the same cell as her.
No, I'm not promoting prison at all.
I want you all to live decent lives and be honest.
If anyone around me had told me these stories,
I wouldn't have lived like this.
Looking good.
Subscribe and press like.
If you don't, you're going to jail.
It's just because I slipped, but it should be called a goal.
All right.
I'll give you the point.
- But it really was a goal. - Okay.
Next time, I won't get five goals as a handicap.
- We'll start from zero. - Okay.
What are you doing, Eun Ha?
- I'm reading. - Right.
By the way, do you guys...
Do you by any chance...
want to change your surname?
I was wondering if you did.
I'm your guardian...
and I want to be a good dad to you.
Is it a bit uncomfortable or annoying...
because we have different surnames?
No, it's okay.
I did have the thought of how that would feel,
but you're a good dad even though our surnames are different.
All right.
(A story of being in the same jail with Freak Sang Ah)
I'm super nervous.
Me too.
You scared me!
Why are you barging into someone else's business place?
Then do you make reservations when coming to our house?
I'm so upset.
Who knew there would be bad reactions for Grandma Ye Ja?
See? I told you it will screw up.
How can she succeed when you keep saying that?
You, get out!
That's bad news.
You would've lost some money.
Then how about doing a mukbang show with elders?
Goodness me. Not a chance!
They have bad teeth and a poor stomach.
I'll be in big trouble if they get sick from eating.
Then just go to Bok Hee.
Ask for a role that has an impact, not a minor role.
What's she doing?
You don't know? She's writing a drama.
Hey.
You've already seen how she's lived. How can you say that?
She doesn't stand a chance.
Though she has major ups and downs,
she manages to achieve something.
I don't know.
Hey. Stop wasting doing this crap...
and work hard to teach trot music to the members.
And you, find a job in a kitchen or do delivery.
You've got to be joking.
Hey. Let's see the comments.
Shall we?
My goodness!
No way.
They're saying Sang Ah is the prettiest among criminals.
Are they out of their minds?
Tell me about it.
I did my best filming this,
but they left a comment that Sang Ah is pretty?
Hey! How can she be the prettiest among the criminals?
What about me?
That's what you're focusing on?
Why are they voting criminal looks and defending them?
Exactly!
The end is near.
Who the heck are these people?
"I heard Sang Ah did a bone marrow transplant for someone."
"Considering that,"
"isn't she a beautiful bad wench..."
"that can be forgiven slightly?"
If my days living with Bok Hee were the happiest,
the days when Sang Ah was on a roll...
were the golden years of my life.
Right. Let's leave good comments.
Where should I put it?
"From Sang Ah's point of view, I feel bad for her."
Have you been well?
Yes.
I read the letter you sent to Bok Hee.
I was surprised...
that you asked how I was doing with your personality.
I told you that I think...
I can forgive you if you go through with the transplant.
So I'm trying to see you again...
and again...
in hopes that day will come.
There's no need to try.
I know I can't be forgiven...
in any way.
Whether I gave Bok Hee a transplant...
or risked my life.
I know that I can't be easily forgiven,
so don't come visit and make efforts.
I came out...
because I wanted to tell you this once.
It was heartbreaking to hear...
that you never felt loved.
We...
loved you in our own ways.
We're also just getting to know a lot.
For everything a child does wrong,
wouldn't the parents be the fault?
For what?
I'm the guilty one.
I'm the bad wench and it was all my fault. Why do you say that?
I did all that because I wanted to.
You're...
our child.
After your brother died,
you are the only one we had.
So we were more cautious and you were more precious to us.
We should've raised you and lead you to not go the wrong way.
We should've taught you that you'd be punished for wrongdoings.
But we couldn't teach you anything.
A 100-year-old old man...
tells his 80-year-old son...
to be careful of cars.
Isn't that how they should care for a child...
in their point of view even when they grow old?
Whether you're old or young,
that's how children are to parents.
You are still...
our little girl.
I'm sorry.
Mom and Dad,
please forgive me.
Sure.
Thank you...
for asking for forgiveness.
I was afraid I couldn't be forgiven...
even though I beg for forgiveness.
That's why I couldn't come out.
It seems that I gave up everything...
at some point when I crossed the line.
Getting forgiveness...
doesn't mean that all my faults will go away,
but I think...
I wanted to be forgiven by you two.
Right.
Pay for the rest...
of your crimes...
and live well from now on.
You're still...
Ko Sang Ah...
of our Ko family.
Let's go to Tongyeong.
No. We can't go that far.
We have no money, no time, so no production.
The two set far before she dies.
A cool place that is half water and half island...
Let's go to the Han River!
You know Nodeul Island?
We can film half water and half island there.
We'll set it as they went far away...
and make sure the apartments at the back are not filmed.
If you say everything isn't possible, what can I do?
So you have to do what's possible...
as we have a really cheap budget.
What's possible then?
Shooting on set is possible.
Seriously!
Then is there an awesome set that we can rent?
The only set that's ready is a historical drama set.
Then let's do a historical drama.
Let's do lots of outdoor shooting there!
I'll change the story to the Joseon Dynasty.
I'm here.
Why did you ask to see me in such a hurry?
Hey. One of our members made this bokbunja wine.
Drink this while you work!
How can I drink while working?
You don't know if a drunk masterpiece will be made.
Gosh. All right. Thank you.
But you didn't ask me to come for this, did you?
The thing is...
I heard you're making a drama.
Have all the actors been decided?
It seems like the main actors are all decided...
and the rest is in casting.
Me! Have me on there!
I'm your mom!
They'll probably decide fairly after an audition.
Why do you do that fairly? You have power.
I don't have such power.
My daughter is a writer.
How funny would I look to my members if I can't even get a role?
You see.
There is also a team of writers with power.
Why does a writer not have power?
Those are great famous writers.
But I really don't have power!
Hey! If you don't want to do it, say no! You're so nasty!
Geez.
It's not that I don't want to. I really don't have power!
Gosh. I'm leaving now.
I don't think I'm the one who should drink this bokbunja wine,
so you drink it all!
She's so cheap! Geez.
Nice shot.
Sang Ah,
don't hold it against your dad...
for mistaking you and treating you coldly.
You must've been tired. Sleep tight, Sang Ah.
Are you excited?
Yes.
The director must really love my work.
He says it's like a soap opera,
but there's something sincere about it.
So the director is very excited about it too.
He wants me to come and see the set.
What is it?
But...
do you like him better or me?
Pardon?
Well, is he important to you or me?
What are you saying?
Do you know...
how many times you said the word "director" in a sentence?
Do you have his picture? What does he look like?
No.
What's his name?
Director Kim Yong Min.
Kim Yong Min.
What? He doesn't look that nice at all!
If he and I fall in the water, who would you save?
No, if we get into a fight, whose side will you be on?
What are you? A kid? You're so childish.
It's a matter of life and death here.
What do you mean childish?
- Who will you save? - Wait!
I won't save anyone. Why would I?
I decided not to be nosy anymore.
Seriously? When I'm the one who fell in the water?
Wait! I'll save you.
I'll push the director in and save you.
Geez!
Do you want a piece of me?
Come on.
Look at you? Where are you going when you started it?
Okay. I'm sorry.
I won't do it again.
Why would you pick a fight that you can't win?
Fine. I won't do it anymore.
It will...
be aired tomorrow.
How do you feel?
I feel extremely nervous.
It will be all right.
- Really? - Yes.
Ms. Park.
Yes?
When I saw you at the office,
you looked undiscerning.
Actually, you still seem that way.
But I'm a little confused.
Should we start seeing each other?
Really?
Then are we going out? Is this our first date?
No, I wouldn't say it's official yet.
Would you like to know each other?
Yes.
Hurry up, will you?
All right.
Mom, the commercial is on!
Hurry over!
Okay. Coming!
Here are the spoons.
- There. - Goodness.
Your rice is served.
Bok Hee.
I'll root for you from afar.
You're here.
It's starting now.
It's starting.
("The Wonderful Story, episode 1")
Vegetables for sale.
Radish, napa cabbage, green onion, and garlic.
Various vegetables are here.
Mom, we got kicked out of the house.
What will we do now?
I sold that wagon too, so give me that.
Kids, run!
Stop that wench!
Stop there!
Is it the story that makes me sick?
Did I get sick from eating the squid?
Are you going to ask the lady at the tavern?
Yes.
She won't turn a blind eye as we've known her for ages.
- No! - No!
- You're not going to stay here! - Absolutely not.
Why that brat!
Hey, isn't that about us?
It's not. They're running a tavern.
We didn't own a tavern.
Right?
Also, those two women are nasty.
We weren't nasty.
Right?
Mom, I'm hungry.
Mom, my legs hurt.
What are we going to do now?
I don't know.
Wait! What do you think you're doing?
What do you think?
Goodness me.
How could everyone around her be so nasty?
That's so annoying.
Are we Eun Dol and Eun Soon?
Let's read the comments.
You should write a drama after doing some research!
It seems you didn't even go to college.
Did you even go to an elementary school?
What a lousy drama.
You ignorant fool. You should study the historical accent.
Have you ever watched a historical drama?
I could become a writer too.
But I enjoyed it.
Shin Ji Hyun's a good actress too.
I can't believe you enjoyed this disgusting drama.
Are you the writer herself?
Don't look at it. It's not good for your mental health.
They're really weird people. It's a good drama.
He's right. You shouldn't let that keep you down.
- You've got us. Cheer up. - Cheer up.
A family is like bibimbap, where each person gathers together...
and mingle to give a deeper taste.
Whether it's on a cold day or hot day,
the strength you gained from eating it...
will keep you from the wind and shade you.
I hated her so much that I wanted her gone.
But if I can restart life again,
I want to live like Bok Hee.
