Let's all sing together
And tell ourselves that we've dreamt with no regrets
The things that happened in the past
All happened for a reason
Let's all sing together
And tell ourselves that we've dreamt with no regrets
And now tell yourself that you'll start
Dreaming of something new
(Episode 23)
Jung Min, you're good enough to be a singer.
I'm quite likable, aren't I?
I always end up laughing when I'm with you.
Does that mean I'm qualified to be your friend?
Yes, you're qualified.
Gosh, this feels great.
Give me your cell phone.
Come on.
Can't you do your friend a favor?
Give it to me.
(Call Me)
"Call Me".
I saved it like that so you can call me whenever.
I'm just asking to be friends, so don't be old-fashioned about it.
Don't call me old-fashioned. You're making me get angry.
The scary woman is back.
Hey, Scary Woman.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm really hungry.
Then why don't we...
eat ramyeon?
(10 years ago)
My face is going to be so swollen tomorrow.
I eat so much these days because I'm pregnant.
Will you keep loving me...
even if I get fat after giving birth?
You can have a belly, have wrinkles,
and grow gray hair, but you'll still be the only woman I love.
And you'll always be my priority even after our baby is born.
Of course, it should be that way.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
Why does my heart beat so fast...
every time I look at you?
You're really flattering me today.
The same goes for me. My heart also beats really fast.
(Mi Ran)
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
You will be charged after the beep.
I called you here on purpose.
I thought I should help.
How are you going to help?
Will you give me everything you own?
You've made something of yourself.
But on the other hand, look at how I'm living now.
Did you want to show me how successful you've become...
by purposely making me come here?
That's a bit upsetting.
I sometimes thought of you during the past 10 years.
Mr. Jung, install a camera on the second floor as well.
You should install it when Will isn't home, not when he is!
You should know that much.
You're getting paid, so do your money's worth!
Does it really hurt that much?
Then...
what does that make me?
Hey, what brings you to call?
What? You came back to Korea?
What's the name of that flower?
Phoenix.
"Phoenix"?
It's a wild flower.
Apparently, it's called that...
because it looks like a phoenix.
What's wrong?
Those two flowers...
look as if they're about to fly just like two phoenixes.
When a phoenix throws itself into a burning fire...
so it can be born again as a young phoenix,
it sheds tears due to the excruciating pain,
and that's what turns into a flower.
Its tears of pain...
turn into a flower?
It's a gift.
I got myself a really nice friend.
We're friends for now,
but you never know how things might turn out.
You just got yourself a red card. That's a warning.
That was a mistake. Sorry.
Let's go back to being friends.
I like being friends because I don't need to be all coy.
And I'm not interested in dating. It's like playing with fire.
I've already experienced all that when I was young and immature.
You told me you heard a rough story about me...
from the director at Royal Gallery.
You know I got a divorce, right?
I heard you bravely fought for love and won...
even though your parents were against the marriage.
Marriage is all about being realistic.
But we were too different.
If you love someone your way,
it only ends up causing trouble, but I didn't know that then.
Do you regret...
getting a divorce?
No, I don't regret it.
It was better for him too.
But we did end up hurting each other because of it.
People say you should marry the person you love.
But what do you think about that?
I disagree.
You should marry someone whom you can love for a long time.
I think that's the answer.
They sound similar but have different meanings.
If you think about it, passion is overrated.
And if you steer the wrong way, your life turns into a mess.
I should go now.
Let me take you home.
I'd like to go alone so I can cool down...
and clear my head on my way home.
Then I guess I shouldn't be stubborn today.
Please take good care of it. Make sure it grows well.
I'm sure you wanted to know what happened,
but it's really hard to explain,
so thank you for not asking me.
I don't know what happened,
but even after a second, it becomes your past,
so just forget about it.
I'll be off now.
Jung Min.
Back when our families wanted your brother and I to get married,
your brother was actually dating someone.
From what I heard, they were together for a long time.
No one's ever told me that before.
I met her a couple of times.
Her name was...
Oh, I remember now. It was Na Kyung. Her name was Han Na Kyung.
"Han Na Kyung"?
So what's your plan?
You're going to hire her as your personal helper...
so you can drive a wedge between those two?
I won't just drive a wedge.
I'll do things that are worse.
Will called her to his house...
and offered to help.
She may have refused once because of her pride,
but who doesn't like money?
They loved each other like crazy.
Who knows what might happen again?
They say guys have trouble...
getting over their first love until the day they die.
Plus, Lee Ji Eun isn't easy to go up against.
What kind of person is she?
She acts naive and nice on the outside,
but she knows how to manipulate people.
I knew Bisang Apparel went bankrupt,
but I didn't know she would've hit rock bottom.
They call them helpers to make it sound nice,
but they're just housekeepers.
I bet Se Hoon's heartbroken to see his ex-wife live so pitifully...
since she used to be rich in the past.
How can you say that when we're friends?
I'm your friend, so I should tell you the truth.
My head is about to explode.
Stop whining and get to your senses.
It's not like you.
Now that I'm in a wheelchair, I feel dispirited...
and low in confidence.
If you didn't get into an accident,
you wouldn't have settled for Se Hoon.
You were a party girl in LA.
And seducing men was easy for you.
That's enough.
Na Kyung.
I really love Will.
He's not like the guys I slept around with.
So I won't ever let any other woman take Will away from me.
I envy you...
for being able to love someone that much.
These days, I feel so nervous.
I feel like Will has changed.
You can always use his guilty conscience.
If you want Se Hoon to stay by your side,
don't corner him too much.
If you keep cornering someone who has a guilty conscience,
it'll only drive that person to go astray.
Do you know what it is that I regret the most?
It's having pressured Jung In too much.
I was so angry to see him get swayed by Lee Ji Eun,
so I kept cornering him.
But it only backfired on me.
Why were you nervous when you were even pregnant with his baby?
Because even I could tell that Lee Ji Eun was very charming.
She always spoke her mind,
but she was considerate.
And back then, she was from a rich family,
so she stood out wherever she went.
Is she still pretty?
She's not pretty at all.
She's skinny and has sunken eyes.
By the way, why did you suddenly come back from Switzerland?
Because it's time for me to settle a proper deal with Chairman Seo.
I can't continue to stay hidden and just live off...
the little money I get from him.
Young Min is Jung In's son.
So I'll have him registered on the family register.
And I'll also have him live with that family...
no matter how humiliating it may be.
Have you lost your touch now that you're old?
How could you let this happen?
How did she manage to get on a plane in Switzerland?
The security alarm for the vault went off, so I called someone.
But Ms. Han must've...
taken her passport while the bodyguard was gone.
I guess I'll be seeing her soon.
Where's the kid?
He went to England to attend a soccer camp.
His nanny is taking care of him.
Make sure Na Kyung gets back on a plane in a month.
Okay, sir.
You're also partly responsible for Jung In's death, you know.
The dead can no longer talk.
And those who are still alive need to keep living our lives.
So we should cover up what needs to be covered up.
Hey, you're here.
Don't you know how to say hello?
I only greet people when I'm glad to see them.
Have a cup of coffee.
I won't decline as long as you don't deduct that from my pay.
I may be a darn devil who's crazy about money,
but I won't pay you less just because you drank coffee.
You know how to hold a grudge.
I didn't know you'd come, but you did.
Once I put my mind to something, I do it no matter what.
Do you have my pay ready?
I cancel contracts,
but I never go back on my word.
But why do you want to get paid 500 dollars in advance?
So I can buy myself chocolate.
Let me ask you something.
What's your dream?
Why would I have a dream when my life is a mess already?
Plus, I'm too old to dream of anything.
What are you talking about? This could be your prime.
Many people achieved their dreams after they became pretty old.
You know that guy who created KFC, right?
He opened his first KFC store when he was 65 years old.
And you know the movie called "The Lord of the Rings"?
The writer wrote it when he was 62 years old.
And you know Coach Park Hang Seo, the pride of Korea, right?
He was 60 when he managed to turn his life around.
You never know how your life will turn out until it ends.
Do you know what all those people have in common?
It's the fact that they made their dreams into reality.
What's your dream?
My dream?
Becoming an actor?
Gosh, you're giving me a headache.
Where were you at this hour?
I was outside taking a walk.
Mom, why do you look like that?
- How do I look? - You look tired.
It's because I walked for too long.
I walked a lot because I had indigestion.
- Where is Young Eun? - She has a home shopping shoot,
so she'll be home after midnight.
Why do you look so gaunt?
Are you sick?
No, I'm not sick. I'm just tired.
My daughter.
Your hands are so rough.
I'm sorry for making you work so hard.
If I think about you and Young Eun,
it doesn't feel like hard work.
Family is what keeps you going.
You're competent in every way, and it breaks my heart...
to see you work as a helper.
This job pays a lot more than just a normal office job.
I'm going to work hard for just a few more years...
and save up so I can start my own business.
I'm your daughter. I'll make sure to make something of myself.
I know I gave birth to you,
but you really are amazing.
You endure all the hardships that come your way.
From now on, I'll be there to help you through it all.
You're suddenly acting really different.
You're already having a hard time as it is,
so I should stop being so lethargic.
What's this plant?
A friend gave it to me.
Your friend? Bok Ja?
No.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No.
Mom, this flower is called Phoenix.
And it has a great meaning.
It means hope.
Hope gives you the ability to overcome reality.
If there's a guy who likes you, you should date him.
I'll approve of him as long as he's decent.
There's no much to life.
It's just best to be loved by your husband.
If only you hadn't met Se Hoon, that punk...
It's too late to blame anyone now.
So much time has passed since then.
Let's not blame anyone for this.
You should get some rest.
Goodnight.
What brings you to call me so late at night?
There's something I need to tell you.
I wanted to tell you in person,
but I figured it'd be best to tell you now.
The thing is...
Actually, never mind. I should just tell you in person.
Director Nam.
Just a second.
Ji Eun, I'll call you later.
What was that about?
I clearly asked you earlier if you received...
- the list of products. - No, you didn't.
You told me you received it.
This is unbelievable.
When did I say that?
I asked you if you received it.
I never said I had it.
Do you not know the difference between a question and a statement?
Are you dumb?
Didn't you know that I'm dumb?
That's why I'm still working as your assistant.
You darn punk.
You always eat fried eggs.
What if our baby cries "cock-a-doodle-doo" when it's born?
It won't be "cock-a-doodle-doo". It'll be "chirp, chirp".
I bet you make the best fried eggs in this entire world.
You never once broke the yolk.
Meanwhile, I always end up breaking it by accident.
I'll do it, sir.
How touching.
I guess you still remember that I like beef radish soup.
Isn't it so ironic?
You never once cooked breakfast for me when we were married.
But I get to eat your breakfast...
now that we're divorced.
Being with you like this reminds me of the old days.
What about you?
It looks delicious. You should eat with me.
Helpers aren't allowed to eat with their clients.
Ji Eun.
Don't you find this amusing?
You're the one who's being amusing.
You should know that it's necessary sometimes...
to deal with people you don't like. Haven't you learned that yet?
Do you still have so many things you want to teach me?
I should've given it back to you sooner.
But I never had the chance.
I'm surprised you kept it with you all these years.
I thought you would've thrown it away.
That ring is your mother's keepsake.
And I know how much you used to treasure it.
Thanks.
What do you think would've happened to us...
if you were also this thoughtful 10 years ago?
You should take time to think about that.
I came to return that ring to you.
- The breakfast I cooked... - Yes, what about it?
I came here as a helper, and it was just a part of my job.
You'll get someone new starting from tomorrow.
I want you to keep cooking breakfast for me.
That's enough.
You've already humiliated me enough.
If you choose to reject my help, I won't force it upon you.
"Help"?
You're just paying me...
so you can have me get on my knees and beg for forgiveness.
I guess you still need to grow up.
Don't think that you were the only one who got hurt.
I also lost too much because of you.
Our baby died due to an accident.
That's enough out of you, Mr. Jang.
I'll never forgive you.
Shouldn't I be saying that?
It doesn't make any sense for us to forgive each other,
so let's not.
Plus, you're not so normal anyway seeing that you bought...
your ex-wife's old house.
Watch what you say.
You're the one who created such an absurd situation.
I always felt so sorry about what I put you through.
My family mistreated you...
and did things they never should've done.
But you also...
ended up doing just the same,
so I no longer feel so burdened.
Last night, something suddenly came to my mind.
The fact that you bought our old house...
means you're still not over me.
But that's too bad...
because I really don't like you anymore.
I see you still think of things however you want.
Hey, Mi Ran.
I slept early yesterday.
Did you catch a cold?
I feel a lot better now that I'm talking to you.
When are you coming?
I'll be there in the afternoon.
You don't need to run away like that.
Does your girlfriend know about this?
I'm sure she won't like it if she finds out...
you hired your ex-wife as a helper.
She's nothing like you.
She always trusts me.
And she's not selfish and ruthless like you are.
That's good.
You weren't doing so well,
and I really wanted to help you from the bottom of my heart.
But like you said, I'm also very petty,
so it's also true that I bought your old house...
as a means to take revenge for what your family did to me.
You've humiliated me enough, so let's stop here.
I haven't even begun.
What do you want from me?
I want you to make me go crazy for you again.
- You must be crazy. - What's the matter?
Am I still not good enough for you?
Because I'm a lowlife who used to run a furniture studio?
I can't believe you decided to take things this far.
You really are the worst.
I utterly regret having loved you in the past.
(Phoenix 2020)
Ji Eun, you should say hello. He's my fiance.
Say hello to her. She's my helper.
I can't wait to see the look on their faces.
Aren't you going to bring the doenjang stew?
Are you okay?
You got so many burns.
- I'm okay. - This is so upsetting.
You slowly found a way into my heart.
That's why it hurts right here.
