(Episode 35)
Ms. Yoo?
My name is Yoo Eun Sung.
I'm the daughter of the owner of Haha Chicken.
But I want to become an actress.
I will become an actress.
I'm the daughter of the owner of Haha Chicken.
But I...
want to become an actress.
I want to perform...
on stage.
Even though this is a long detour,
I will follow the path.
Until one day...
I reach the end of the path.
Ms. Yoo.
Oh, my. Who are you?
What?
Wait. Director Kang?
Oh, right.
Yes. It's me, Kang Sun Woo.
My gosh. Hello.
Oh, Director Kang. What are you doing here?
Right? How did I end up here? What a coincidence.
By the way,
were you an actress?
Yes.
An aspiring actress, to be more exact.
I see.
But you knew that I was an aspiring actress.
- What? - You knew I worked at Blue Moon.
I only found out today that Blue Moon was a theater company.
I found out just now.
Well... Right, you know Brad. The mannequin.
You knew Brad was my acting partner.
Sorry? Brad was an acting partner?
He wasn't your partner?
What? My partner?
My gosh. Don't tell me you thought Brad was...
Are you crazy?
You may have watched many X-rated videos,
but how could you think that?
No, don't get me wrong. When I went to pick up my jacket,
you called it your partner while holding it in your arms.
Do all "partners" do such inappropriate things?
You get dirty thoughts when someone's holding something?
What made you think such vulgar thoughts?
"Vulgar?"
Then would you call it a healthy, wholesome thought?
No. I wouldn't, but...
What do you take me for?
Ms. Yoo, you can't leave like this.
Ms. Yoo, please stop.
If you leave like this,
I'll feel so bad.
Then...
what did you think my job was?
That's...
Answer my question truthfully.
The thing is,
you were wearing that cat costume,
and I happened to get that absurd flyer.
"Absurd flyer?"
"We respect your taste and offer 1-on-1 services."
Have you lost your mind?
So all this time, you thought I was that kind of woman?
Right. I found it hard to believe,
so I kept thinking about it over and over.
But because of that cat costume,
I naturally assumed that you worked in...
So in other words, it was all my fault?
No, that's not what I meant.
You see, I never liked you.
But you really are not likable.
Shoot. This is nuts.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
I'm at a loss for words.
Darn it.
Hey, Da Jung. It's me.
Can we meet for a drink this evening?
(Photo Exhibition, 100 Years of Korean Cinema)
I was told that Kang Sun Woo would surely be here.
Eun Sung said she'd meet someone in Daehak-ro.
So I offered her a ride.
Is Kang Sun Woo the person she's meeting?
(Photo Exhibition, 100 Years of Korean Cinema)
Blue Moon...
is a place that was once filled with my dreams.
My younger self's passion, effort, and sweat. All of it.
We practically lived together.
Besides, he and I are quite compatible.
Sun Woo, you're really something for interpreting it like that.
I'm embarrassed to death.
Who's calling?
It's Ms. Shin.
Hello?
Yes, Ms. Shin.
What's up?
I wanted to apologize to you...
for what I said about Eun Sung yesterday.
I was just worried about you, that's all.
If you're worried about that, you should apologize to her, not me.
I caused the misunderstanding.
What do you mean?
The things you know about her past...
are not true.
I made assumptions...
and got the wrong idea.
Ms. Yoo is...
an actress.
She was a member of Blue Moon, a theater company.
Right, I knew that she used to be a member of Blue Moon.
You know that she's an actress?
How do you know that?
She auditioned for a role in Director Hwang's movie.
Ms. Yoo auditioned for a role in Director Hwang's film?
Yes.
We didn't want the teammates to feel uncomfortable,
so Eun Sung and I decided to keep it a secret.
The fact that she's an actress...
and that she auditioned for the role.
Well, I'm sorry. I have to go.
- Pardon me? - I owe her an apology.
Director Kang!
What is going on?
I guess she's really mad at me.
Such an offensive misunderstanding would make me angry too.
(Director Kang)
You won't answer it?
It keeps buzzing.
Leave him be. I don't care whether he keeps calling or not.
I can ignore the call if I want to.
How did things get so complicated?
Has Mr. Park's wife been caught?
That's right.
Mom rushed there upon receiving a tip-off...
and caught her with the cafe lady's help,
which was so cool.
But why did you let her pay you back with these things instead of money?
I had no choice.
I followed her to her house,
but there was nothing left except for these lousy things.
Mr. Park, that scumbag. As soon as he comes back,
I'll go there and grab him by the collar!
My goodness.
Oh, no.
- What? - Gosh.
But aren't these all from designer brands?
I don't know much about designer brands,
but I've seen many celebrities with these bags.
Even if they are, we can't make money off these...
because they're too old.
Look at this. The edges are all worn out.
To be honest, I'm not even sure if they're authentic.
Good point. The logo looks clumsy.
These might be knockoffs.
- What? - The font looks lousy too.
And the angle looks slightly different.
What? Then none of these is useful?
I went through so much to get these.
Well, they're not completely useless.
It's just that...
they're not enough to make up for the money we lost.
My goodness.
That woman looked like she'd been eating so well.
Her face looked all greasy.
Oh, what is this? "Royal Hotel?"
What?
It's a cooking class membership.
It begins next week.
A cooking class? To learn how to cook?
All right. Here's a membership to the cooking class at Royal Hotel.
Here.
Thank you, honey.
Mom, so you decided to do it after all?
You'll flaunt your skills?
I shouldn't lounge around at home all day.
It's good to be productive and learn something.
My gosh. So will we soon...
taste some French dishes prepared by you?
I heard the instructor worked...
at a famous hotel in France in the past.
I won't let you down.
From coq au vin to escargot and the regional dishes of Burgundy,
I'll make you everything you normally order at restaurants.
Oh, right.
- Jung Sook doesn't want to do it? - No.
She told me to do all the cooking so she could eat.
That's so unlike her.
I know she, of all people, likes to show off.
She'd take the class...
to take photos and brag about it.
Stop worrying about her and start worrying about your future.
What about you? You can't do anything right.
I bet thorns start growing in your mouth...
if you don't say mean things even for one day.
I really am worried for your future girlfriend.
You're so full of yourself. Who'd fall for you?
We have confirmed that Mr. Yoo Dong Gu is already deceased.
(Death Certificate)
My gosh.
Oh, my goodness.
Shortly after he returned to Korea 17 years ago,
he got into a car accident.
Really? Are you sure?
Yoo Dong Gu is dead?
Sadly, yes.
Then what about the kids?
What about Eun A and Eun Hyuk?
His wife, Ko Chun Young,
returned to the Philippines with the children.
Here's the record of their exit from Korea.
My gosh.
So it is true.
They went back to the Philippines.
You're sure about this, right?
Ko Chun Young didn't abandon my niece and nephew, right?
I do not know what happened after that,
but they left the country together.
I see.
My gosh.
Eun A and Eun Hyuk grew up with a stepmother without their father.
They must've had a good childhood, right?
They must've grown up well, right?
They must be living a happy life now, right?
Hey.
Did she believe what you told her?
Of course, she did. I perfectly forged all the documents.
Why wouldn't she believe me?
Even so, she's more gullible than I thought.
She never once doubted you and didn't even bother to check.
What did I tell you?
I told you that woman does not want to find Yoo Dong Gu.
When people get an answer they were hoping to hear,
they convince themselves...
to believe it.
Thank you so much for helping me catch the thief yesterday.
No problem at all. What are neighbors for?
Without your help,
I would've lost that swindler couple again,
and I would've been so upset.
I caught them at last.
I can finally breathe.
Although I couldn't get my money back.
Are you sure you couldn't find anything...
except for old underwear and worn-out slippers?
She said I could take anything with monetary value,
so I brought home everything I could see,
but they were mostly useless stuff.
My goodness. You can't put them behind bars?
Can't your cop son do it?
He said...
he'd officially book and question them once Mr. Park returned,
but I don't think it'll be that easy...
to put them behind bars for fraud.
My gosh. You must be upset.
People like them need to be taught a serious lesson.
Thank you for your concern.
I was very mean to you on many occasions.
No, I was out of line.
The drumstick incident too.
Our drumstick somehow ended up on the ground in front of your cafe,
so it was all my fault.
Then how about we put the past behind us...
and become friends?
I heard your elder daughter and my son...
reconciled too. They decided to become friends.
Sure, I'd love that.
From what I know, you're a year older than me.
May I call you by your first name?
Jin Sil.
"Jin Sil?" My gosh. That sounds nice.
Then I shall call you...
Chun Young.
Yes, Jin Sil.
My name is Chun Young. Ko Chun Young.
I'm Maeng Jin Sil.
(Good Day for Coffee)
I didn't know the surname "Maeng" existed.
Yes, it exists.
I've never heard it before.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
Finally, they're reconciling with each other.
Gosh, I'm not fond of that woman because she has a big mouth,
but peace is better than war.
The kids all get along too.
(Haha Chicken)
So? You're posting their stuff on a secondhand-selling site?
That's right. I suggested to my sister...
a reasonable price range that would entice most people.
She doesn't really know how much luxury goods go for.
Right, you must be well-versed in those things, Sa Ra.
You work with many fashion items and luxury brands on your show.
I'm the brain of the team, and she gets things done.
The youngest one should take care of petty tasks, you know.
You must've been under a lot of stress too.
When your family is going through something like that,
you can't help but worry.
Right, but I'm sure my parents had it way worse.
Dad, did you know this?
Sa Ra's real name is Eun A.
She only goes by Sa Ra on her show.
Really? Your real name is Eun A?
Yes, many show hosts like to go by memorable names.
A show host's name is like a brand in itself,
and it's like a free advertisement.
Sa Ra is a nice name,
but Eun A is a pretty name too.
Well, Min Guk is an old-fashioned name,
but it makes you look like a friendly patriot.
Eat up.
Do you want one more?
For this, the price is...
Oh, here it is.
These high heels...
Gosh.
I thought he was going to stop calling since it got quiet.
But he's calling again now?
Gosh, he sure is Korean. He does not give up.
Hello?
My gosh. You answered at last.
I'm sure you saw that you missed my calls.
Why didn't you return my calls?
If I had planned on calling you back,
I would've picked up when you called the first time.
You know I'm trying to tell you that I don't want to talk to you.
Fine, you can tell me that in person.
Let's meet.
Why should I meet you? I don't want to.
We already promised to meet up.
When? I never did.
When I apologized to you about the heart,
we said we'd have a meal together on the weekend.
You're not going to cancel...
just because you're mad. Right?
That's childish.
Gosh.
Why did he want to meet here?
Doesn't he know what this place means to me?
If you want it that badly, it'll happen.
Whatever that may be.
Eun Sung!
Gosh.
Why would he show up from there? He ruined my moment.
I was worried that you might not come,
but I'm glad you came.
You said it would be childish if I canceled...
just because I was mad.
But I really don't plan on grabbing dinner with you.
I understand.
We can eat another time.
When you're not mad anymore.
Today,
I called you here to apologize.
I wanted to tell you how I felt before it was too late.
How you feel?
I made a grave mistake.
I'm truly sorry.
Recently, it seems like...
all I've been doing is apologizing to you.
I'll try better...
to make sure you don't get hurt.
I understand.
I won't be mad anymore.
It's not like you did it on purpose.
You said the situation made you think that.
Thank you for understanding.
And this...
is an apology gift.
It's a money tree. If you have it,
it'll bring you luck...
and make your dreams come true.
Eun Sung,
I support your dreams.
All right. Let's work on achieving my dream together.
Until I shine on my own.
The things you know about her past are not true.
What? Director Kang!
What happened?
He didn't say anything while we were in the office.
But why did he say something when we met in Daehak-ro?
Oh, it's Yoo Eun Hyuk.
They didn't look like a couple.
But why?
But it's hard to say they don't have a relationship...
What are you mumbling to yourself about?
You surprised me.
When did you get here?
Just now?
You seemed to be lost in thought.
What were you thinking about?
No, it's nothing.
Was it about a woman?
A woman? No way.
I must be right.
No, I was just thinking about this and that.
Like culprits and cases.
Gosh, it's your day off.
Stop thinking about such scary things.
Think about something soft, bright, and beautiful.
I don't know.
My life lacks things that are soft, bright, and beautiful.
By the way, it's cold. Why did you come out?
Oh, just because.
I was feeling frustrated.
What? Me too.
I...
was feeling frustrated.
Ha Young.
Do you want to relieve your stress?
Over there! It came out!
Oh, my!
Yes!
Over there!
- Over there! Get it! - Can you stop!
Focus on your side!
Over here!
The loser buys!
- Fine. - Okay!
Oh, gosh. I'm losing.
Yes!
Thanks for today.
There was something that was bothering me,
but thanks to you, I cleared my mind...
and relieved my stress.
I feel better thanks to you too.
People...
need to move.
You're right.
Whenever I feel depressed,
I should go play the mole game.
You might end up becoming a mole hunter.
Ha Young.
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
I'm in a good mood, so I'll answer all your questions.
Never mind. Next time.
What is it?
In any case, thank you for making me feel better.
I'll pay you back next week during my consultation.
As long as it's not too hard, I'll do it.
So think about...
what you want.
What do you think I'll ask for?
Wait for me.
What do you think?
I bought a few while I was out shopping.
Honey.
Are you going to learn how to cook or put on a fashion show?
You can't put on a fashion show with this.
Who wears frilly aprons like this these days?
Mother, if you're going to cook,
you should've chosen an apron that was dark.
These are so bright that if you get food on it...
No way. Black or gray is too dull.
You're getting competitive again.
You're determined not to look shabby...
next to the rich ladies at Royal Hotel.
Goodness. What is this?
Goodness. Are these knives?
My goodness.
You haven't set foot in a kitchen for at least 15 years.
Everything starts with your equipment.
If you want to cook, you need a knife set like this.
My gosh.
Mother, you know if you give up after getting all of this,
you'll be embarrassed. Right?
Why would I give up?
Now that I'm starting,
I'm going to do my best until I master French cooking.
You can do it!
We sold almost everything,
but nobody wanted the cooking class tickets.
The classes start next week.
Nobody will buy them once they start.
Should we lower the price?
Maybe it's too expensive.
We already made it cheap enough.
We can't lower it anymore. It's Royal Hotel after all.
It's exhausting to cook at home all the time,
so who would want to cook outside too?
Nobody would buy it.
What?
Why are you looking at me?
If it doesn't sell, you can take the classes.
You're good at cooking.
You're right. You're good at cooking Korean and Chinese food.
It'd be great if you took this opportunity...
to learn French cuisine.
The classes are held right before you open the store.
It's better than wasting it.
They're right. You could become a rich woman.
Transform like Cinderella.
What?
Why are you doing this to me?
Mom.
(Haha Chicken)
How did Director Kang end up...
having a misunderstanding about your past?
I was preparing a surprise...
For your boyfriend?
I'm not sure if it was her boyfriend,
but there was a man who drove her home at night.
Do I need to tell Jung Ae?
I've never seen her before.
Who is she?
- What? - You...
What? Ko Chun Young?
Yes!
