(Episode 20)
Let's get going now.
Why? I haven't buried my sock yet.
Forget about the sock. Let's leave now.
What's going on?
Get up. Come on. Please. I'm begging you.
What are they doing? Why is she cleaning the street with her body?
Stop it! Let go of my arm!
- Come on. Get up now. - Gosh.
Hey, get up already.
(Audition for "Youth Journey," Cheong Film)
What was that all about?
Hey, why are we hiding now?
And why do you keep peeking at that man?
What? Oh, I'm not sure.
Aren't you the one who dragged me here?
Yes, I think so.
But you don't know the reason?
Well, must I know the reason?
A sock?
What's this sock doing here?
Gosh! He saw my sock.
The fennec fox?
Why is that man studying my sock?
Maybe he's a pervert.
Hold on. This is a women's sock.
A used one.
Oh! He's leaving.
Hey, Eun Sung! Gosh, what if my brother sees her?
Thank goodness he didn't take my sock.
Hey, who'd take that?
It's a used sock. It must stink.
It doesn't stink.
I washed it well so it's perfectly clean.
And the fennec fox is adorable, so he could've taken it.
It doesn't matter how adorable it is.
Only a true pervert would take it.
Let's go.
Hey, I told you that I had to bury the sock.
Why do you keep rushing me to leave?
There's nowhere to bury the sock here.
If you bury it in some absurd place,
you'll end up somewhere else, not Cheong Film.
- You think so? - I know so.
You said it'd bring you luck depending on where it was buried.
What?
All right, then.
What? What do you want me to do with this?
Do you expect me to wear this?
Gosh, no.
I'm going to use the second method.
Did Eun Sung go out?
Yes, she went out to meet a friend.
This is a late lunch.
It's fine. Eating now will help me stay full until the evening.
I have a fashion-related show in the evening,
so I can't have dinner.
I don't want my stomach to stick out.
You got this hard job thanks to your good looks.
You've been skipping meals every day since you became a show host.
Father, by the way,
why couldn't you pick up the dumplings yesterday?
You said you went all the way there.
Right, I did.
But I saw an old acquaintance in front of the shop,
so I left the dumplings on my scooter...
and followed my acquaintance.
When I got back, the dumplings were gone.
Maybe someone took them.
- What? - Someone took the dumplings?
Who'd take someone else's food these days?
Right? I guess they knew it was from a famous place...
and that I'd just bought the dumplings.
- Really? Then I'll check the CCTVs. - Yes.
I know it's something small, but it's still considered theft.
Yes, check the security footage from...
No, that's not necessary.
It's my own fault for carelessly leaving it on the scooter.
No, that's not true. It's not your fault, Father.
Just tell me the exact time,
and I can see every passerby who was there.
That acquaintance of yours and...
No!
I told you it wasn't necessary.
Why not, Dad? We should catch this person.
It'd be different if Eun Hyuk weren't a cop, but he is...
Those dumplings aren't even expensive.
Your father says it is not necessary.
What? Mom, what's with you?
A little while ago, you made a huge fuss about how...
we had to catch the cheese ball thief.
That's right.
I pulled three all-nighters in a row...
to comb through the security footage and catch that punk.
I made him pay the nine dollars,
got him to promise not to do it ever again,
and even made him sincerely apologize to you.
Come on. That person deliberately came to the restaurant...
to pull a dine and dash.
But in this case, someone...
who happened to be walking by must've noticed the dumplings.
That's right.
As they say, "Opportunity makes the thief."
Maybe the person was hungry at the time,
or they really love dumplings.
That's right. They might have...
some heartwarming memories related to dumplings.
Or someone who loved dumplings very much...
- has passed away or something. - Right.
What? You two aren't making any sense at all.
Why would you suddenly sympathize with the thief...
and make up such touching stories that we can't even check?
Mom, Dad. You're both acting weird.
Why do you keep defending that thief?
Is the thief someone you know?
- How would we know that person? - How would we know that person?
It already happened,
so we just want to let it go.
Goodness. Just eat your food.
The steamed eggs turned out nicely. Try it.
What's going on? What's with them?
I have no idea.
You should've gone back to the shop and bought the dumplings again.
Why come home empty-handed...
and make him talk about CCTVs?
I know. My bad.
I mean, that woman wasn't Sim Jung Ae anyway,
so it wouldn't have mattered.
It wouldn't have mattered?
Then why can't you let him check the footage?
Did you do something Eun Hyuk shouldn't see?
What?
Were you so excited to see her...
that you held her hand?
You had missed her so much in the past 30 years,
so your emotions exploded in that moment?
I was just so surprised.
I told you I followed her in a daze and lost her.
I didn't even have time to hold her hand.
Then you would've held her hand...
and even hugged her if you'd had time to do so.
Why is it about that now?
Goodness. I didn't do anything like that.
I was just afraid Eun Hyuk would get suspicious.
He might've asked me...
whom I had to chase in such a hurry.
We'll have to tell him about his mother eventually,
but now's not the time yet.
And not like this.
Fine, I never said anything about that.
You made the kids wait for the dumpling party,
so they were disappointed.
You said we should congratulate Eun Sung.
Then...
shall I go back there today and pick up some dumplings again?
No, don't bother. It's not the only dumpling shop that exists.
Don't bring up Gaeseong-style dumplings...
and make them talk about CCTVs again.
Just give Eun Sung some pocket money instead.
All right.
I'll do as you say.
Gosh.
That woman wasn't Sim Jung Ae.
Why did she have to look so much like Sim Jung Ae?
- Stop going on about Sim Jung Ae. - My goodness.
She clearly said "Alain Delon," right?
When I said my friend lived near the Catholic church.
That's right. Did you see Sun Ju's eyes when she said that?
She looked like she had the hunch of a man...
who was out to catch his cheating wife.
How did she figure out that it had something to do with Alain Delon?
We clearly said it was my friend.
It was also weird that Ki Seok...
was looking for her in the morning.
That means it's something serious.
Did Sun Ju tell her dad something about me?
The conversation we had about the dumplings?
With her own thoughts?
I don't think that's the case...
because Sun Ju and Ki Seok aren't that close.
They're not friendly to each other at all.
They always look like they want to pick on each other.
Actually, Sun Ju is...
like an impala in front of a tiger.
Right, I also don't think Sun Ju said anything to him.
Gosh, where is she? She's not answering her phone.
Did Ki Seok not give you any hints...
as to why he was so angry?
No, not at all.
He just said we'd talk about it when Sun Ju got home.
But he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
What? "Kill someone?"
(CEO Kang Ki Seok)
They say your kids never grow up the way you want them to.
First, it was Sun Woo. Now, it's Sun Ju. Goodness.
(KS Foodville)
Ms. Kim.
Keep calling Sun Ju until you reach her.
Call her nonstop until she picks up.
This little brat.
She's out and about when she told me nothing...
about not passing the contest.
Fine. I will...
teach you a lesson today.
I won't let this slide.
Who keeps calling?
Don't interrupt me when I'm about to see Angel Boys.
I must be in tip-top condition when I see my boys.
I won't let anything come between us.
(Cheong Film, Planning Producer Shin Ha Young)
Shin Ha Young, I was wondering why you were suddenly nice to me.
Are you feeling all right?
Weren't you hungover today?
Let's go eat something nice tomorrow.
I'll buy you lunch.
Of course, you had a reason. Right?
It all started with the secret behind the night of the team dinner.
Then I'll help you.
What?
I'll help you so you can send out your wedding invitation...
- sometime this year... - What are you saying?
Why did I remember this just now?
All this time, I've been bending over backwards for her.
Anyway, I must've been totally out of my mind that day.
Why did I offer help to Shin Ha Young, of all people?
This is nuts.
Shin Ha Young, things seem to be going well for you these days.
What are you saying, all of a sudden?
Why are you giving me that look?
Why are you looking me up and down?
I'm just...
checking you out...
to see if you'd make it if you were to become an actress.
Did you drink?
Why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?
Did I drink?
Right. I fell for your sly tricks...
because I'm such a lightweight.
What? What's with you, seriously?
Explain in a way that I can understand.
Stop mumbling to yourself.
If you have a conscience, you should understand.
How dare you play dumb?
What's with her again?
She's been quiet since the team dinner.
Hey, Lee Yoon A. I'm really offended.
If you've got something to say, just say it.
Don't beat around the bush by giving me such a spiel.
Really? Then can I tell Kang Sun Woo everything?
About the truth behind that day.
"That day?"
What day?
The day of the team dinner.
You didn't hurt your leg.
It was all an act.
You wanted to go home with him,
so you hopped in his car as soon as...
Director Kang.
Ms. Shin.
Ms. Lee, you're here too.
I guess you're here to see Mr. Kim.
Director Kang, I'm glad I ran into you.
I really wanted to talk to you about something.
You wanted to talk to me about something?
Hey, Lee Yoon A!
Director Kang, would you be interested in finding the truth?
The truth that was buried in secret...
but must be revealed for the sake of justice.
What? Are you working on a crime documentary or something?
What truth?
What was that thing about justice?
There's a hidden story behind the night of the team dinner.
That night, a naive man...
unfortunately fell for a sly woman's tricks.
What? "A naive man?"
"Sly tricks?"
This is getting even more cryptic.
Here's what happened. A woman...
wanted to seduce the man she liked,
so she pretended to be in pain when she was totally fine.
Okay, Yoon A. We should go to my office now.
You have to print that document. Bye!
No, wait...
What's with them?
It must be a very important document.
Gosh.
Shin Ha Young, what are you doing?
What do you think you're doing?
Why must you tell your friend's secret to him?
Since when were we friends?
Fine. What do you want?
What do you get out of telling him...
that we duped him together?
Well, I can make you anxious like this...
- so you can't be full of yourself. - What?
Then I can make you behave yourself in front of me!
Lee Yoon A, why are you so childish?
I am childish, so what? You'd better behave yourself.
The moment I open my mouth and tell him,
your pristine image will go down the drain at once.
Lee Yoon A, how could you...
Girl, if you want me to keep your secret safe,
bribe me.
You know I like macarons.
Is she blackmailing me now?
I have to buy macarons for her starting tomorrow?
Don't even get me started. My angels looked so cool today.
I kept screaming nonstop, so I've lost my voice.
They all have such flawless skin,
and they have incredibly long, slender limbs.
Gosh, they look like they belong to a different species than us.
They really must be angels from the sky.
Hey, hold on.
Gosh, it's Mom again. Yes, I'm coming!
My voice is back.
You know, my Jung Wook has gotten muscular.
I caught glimpses of his chest underneath his jacket.
My, it was very sexy.
Honey.
Why are you acting like this?
At least tell me the reason, so I don't have to feel so frustrated.
Then give me some hints.
- I'll do my best to guess... - "Hints?"
What is this, a quiz show?
Are you participating in a Korean language contest?
No, it's not that.
You keep huffing and puffing but won't tell me anything.
Whose fault is it that I'm so upset right now?
Sun Ju is acting like a clueless troublemaker...
because you taught her wrong!
Okay, so I need to know what is going on.
Goodness.
Kang Sun Ju! You brat.
What's your deal?
What is your problem that you were out and about until this late...
when you can't even get your job done?
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I admit that I got home pretty late,
- but I always get my job done. - As if.
You always get your job done?
You're all talk. How dare you.
What have you gotten done?
You failed your contest again.
What? "Contest?" What contest?
My gosh. Did you fail another contest?
No, I didn't.
Goodness. You're still lying to my face.
I checked KBN's website yesterday and looked everything up.
They've announced the results,
but I couldn't find your name.
In fact, none of the winners had the surname, Kang.
- KBN? - That's right!
Oh, that?
I didn't fail that contest.
I didn't submit my script because the deadline was too tight.
What? What did you say?
You didn't bother submitting your script?
That's right. It really didn't look like I could finish the script...
before the deadline,
so I decided to just be cool about it and try again next year.
"Cool?" How dare you say that?
Do you want to just sleep and do nothing all day?
Shall I kick you out?
You lounge around all day without doing anything productive.
- All you do is yap away. - Goodness. Don't hit her.
- You brat, come here! - Gosh, please calm down.
Hey, say something!
Apologize and beg your dad for forgiveness.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I promise you I'll participate in every contest from now on.
Even if I end up with a nosebleed and even if my body breaks down,
I'll be sure to participate in every contest there is,
- praying with all my heart that... - Gosh, you always say that.
What are you, a swindler?
How dare you try to swindle me with your sly words?
- Gosh. - Believe me. I really mean it.
- I swear. Please believe me. - You little...
Gosh, stop.
I'm sure she understood what you're trying to tell her.
She has a thing called a conscience too.
You.
If you fail another contest,
I will disown you.
I'll kick you out without a single penny,
so just remember that and snap out of it. You got that?
- Okay. - Sun Ju, hurry up and go upstairs.
Work on your writing before you go to bed.
Okay.
Good night.
Goodness me. I can't believe she is my daughter.
If she weren't my child, I'd...
Gosh, stop. I'll talk to her.
I'll have a talk with her tomorrow.
Stop being so angry.
Go on in. Go to your room.
Gosh, I'm so upset.
I didn't expect to deal with this after seeing my angels.
When did he check the website?
Anyway, he seemed to know all the contest schedules.
I'm in trouble.
The next deadline is in a month from now.
Brad.
For the first time ever,
Mom gave me permission to pursue acting!
Mom told me to give it my all.
Do you think I can do a good job?
Like the character, Bo Ra,
can I keep marching forward to achieve my dreams...
even if I get hurt or fall down?
Look at you, Yoo Eun Sung.
Are you practicing for the audition?
Oh, I wanted to get immersed in the emotions...
prior to memorizing the lines.
- I see. - Where are you going?
The restaurant. Mom asked me to drop off some kimchi.
I see.
It must be stressful.
I bet it's nerve-racking to prepare for the audition.
It may be nerve-racking, but it's not stressful.
Finally, the whole family is supportive of me doing this,
so I'm excited.
Good. I know you've been under a lot of stress.
It wasn't easy for Mom to give you her permission,
so I'm sure this audition will go well.
I'm rooting for you with all my heart.
Thanks.
I'll do my very best to prepare for the audition...
so that I won't have any regrets.
Sir.
Oh, my cop friend.
My, that jacket is so cool.
It sparkles like the stars in the sky.
Right?
My daughter-in-law and grandson got me this as a gift.
Hey, buddy. How about a cup of tea with me at the cafe?
Sure. I just need to drop this off for my mom.
- Wait inside. - Okay.
My gosh. Father, what brings you here at this hour?
Hey, I was just passing by...
and came in for a refreshing drink.
The teacher must be taking good care of Ga Ram, right?
Yes, they're probably working on his homework together now.
I see. I need two glasses of sangria and some cookies.
Are you expecting someone?
You haven't had sangria in a while.
Oh, is Mr. Choi coming?
Are you two finally going to reconcile?
Hey. Mr. Choi is my rival, not my friend.
Until the day when I beat Mr. Choi...
and win the dancing king title,
there can be no friendship between us.
Oh, you're the man in black from that day.
Look who's talking.
Goodness. You're wearing black again.
Come on. What you're wearing isn't any better.
You look gloomy, as usual.
But I'm wearing gray, not black.
Well, I don't see any difference.
Gosh, it looks equally gloomy and depressing.
I guess you don't know...
that you need white to create gray.
You need to mix black with a bright, radiant shade of white...
to get gray.
You're calling it gray,
but this is the color of rat fur.
Why did you pick such an ugly shade of all colors?
That's enough, you two! How old are you?
In my eyes, you guys are like two peas in a pod.
To a fashionista like myself,
you look hopeless. And you, helpless.
"Hopeless?" I beg to differ.
Same here. I don't feel helpless.
Forget it.
Why don't you just compliment me on my outfit today?
Don't I look like...
a celebrity, dressed like this?
With my charismatic presence and all,
I can probably go ahead and make my debut today.
Yes. Like I said earlier,
this outfit looks amazing on you.
Not everyone can pull off such a glamorous, shiny jacket.
Oh, please.
It's all thanks to my daughter-in-law and grandson.
They always give me their unwavering support...
so I can soar high and look glamorous.
Father, I've been curious about something.
Is he really your friend?
He looks like he's at least 50 years younger than you.
Age is nothing but a number.
Friends must understand each other.
Hey. Right, friend?
You think we understand each other?
You and me.
That's right.
Even so, I don't feel comfortable calling him my friend.
- Right. - We get it.
My gosh.
The audition is today!
I shall soak up the energy of the rising sun.
I will pass the audition no matter what. I can do it.
I've got this.
My gosh. What is all this?
Your mom woke up at dawn and cooked up a storm...
because of your audition today.
She made special dishes that would help you pass the audition.
Special dishes that'd help me pass the audition?
This egg soup here...
symbolizes your audition going very well.
The stir-fried anchovies with starch syrup...
- mean you'll for sure pass it. - That's right.
The seasoned green laver here means that your name...
won't be able to escape the list of successful applicants.
And... What did braised lotus roots symbolize?
I know! Mom's friend's son who passed the foreign service exam...
and the civil service exam in the same year...
ate braised lotus roots...
and passed such difficult exams at the same time.
The day before his exams,
he saw a golden crown among lotus roots in his dream.
That's right.
That's why some say lotus roots are magical.
Eun Hyuk also ate lotus roots...
and passed the exam to enter the police academy.
That's correct.
Mom, it was all thanks to your love and heartfelt prayers.
Your sister and brother...
also ate these special dishes that your mom made...
and became a show host and a police officer.
Your mom made these dishes for you with lots of love,
so I'm sure you'll pass the audition.
Thanks, Mom.
I'll enjoy everything you made...
and be sure to pass the audition today.
I'll think of your love and hard work that went into making these...
while I'm eating every single one of these dishes.
Okay. I really hope you pass the audition today, my daughter.
- Okay. - All right, let's eat.
- Let's eat! - Thank you for the food!
I can do a good job.
I've done my best until now.
And everyone in my family is rooting for me.
All that's left is to do well at the audition.
I just need to be myself.
Eun Sung.
Oh.
Mom.
Eun Sung.
Here.
What is this?
Jujube tea.
Jujube tea warms you up and relaxes you.
When you have something important going on, you get so nervous...
that you often can't flaunt your talent to the fullest.
Thanks, Mom. I was really nervous,
so I was worried.
Why are you nervous? You got this.
Yoo Eun Sung, you are my daughter.
I don't get hurt even if I roll down the stairs,
and I never lose a fight.
Your mom, Ko Chun Young, is a strong woman.
If you take after me,
you will persevere and pull it off.
Gosh, my baby.
- Thanks, Mom. - No problem.
I'll drink this and calm myself down.
- I'll do my very best to the end. - Good.
- You can do it. - I can do it!
- Yes! - Yes!
- Thanks, Mom. - You're so adorable.
Mom.
(Audition for "Youth Journey," Cheong Film)
You got this, Eun Sung!
- You got this! - Go, Eun Sung!
- Go for it! - Yes
Yes.
Don't be intimidated.
I have Mom and Dad.
And my family.
I got this.
I can do this.
(Audition for "Youth Journey," Cheong Film)
Did they say the audition was today?
The applicants must be nervous.
I hope we get many talented actors.
That way, we can check whether or not...
they can act with their eyes, like Kang Sun Woo said.
You can do this, Yoo Eun Sung.
Let's go to Cheong Film.
(Unpredictable Family)
Honey, don't you think you worry too much about Ko Chun Young?
- As if you feel insecure. - What did you say?
That's a given.
- Did something really happen? - What?
Do not call me today.
I'll pour my heart and soul into my writing.
I'm free now.
Who knows? We might discover a hidden gem.
Gosh, I'm nervous.
Why is that sock stuck on the wall?
- Ms. Yoo Eun Sung, are you ready? - Yes.
I met someone I should've never crossed paths with.
