Welcome.
Director Kang.
Ms. Shin.
Director Kang?
What?
You're that officer.
Here's the cat's heart.
Thanks.
The heart.
Yes, that's me.
Do you know each other?
Yes. I lost my jacket once,
and I told him it was stolen.
Do you know each other too?
Yes. He's a consultant for our production company.
Oh, is he?
Nice to meet you. I'm Kang Sun Woo.
Hello. I'm Yoo Eun Hyuk.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Who? Father?
Okay. I'll come right now.
Bye.
Something urgent came up. I have to go.
Already? Didn't you come here for a coffee?
Well,
I did, but...
Someone's waiting outside.
I'll see you around, then.
I'll see you at work, Ms. Shin.
What was he doing in our neighborhood?
- Hello, Father, Mother. - Hey.
- Welcome. - Cat.
- Come and sit down. - Yes.
Thanks.
I promised to make you chicken soup,
but it's a bit late to start cooking now.
Eun Sung said you had dinner, so I made something light.
Some fried chicken. Is that okay?
Yes, it is. You made my favorites,
garlic and sweet and spicy chicken.
So...
I asked to see you...
to ask how you feel,
out of concern as the father of a daughter.
Oh, I see.
I'll ask point blank.
How far are you willing to go with our Eun Sung?
Would you marry her?
Dad. Why would you mention marriage?
You keep quiet.
Let's hear what your boyfriend says since he's here.
If Eun Sung's up for it,
I'd consider marriage.
I haven't known her for long,
but my feelings for her are sincere.
I spent a long time alone in the US,
and don't see the point in putting off marriage.
I like how direct you are.
With your permission,
I'd like to introduce her to my family.
I want to marry Eun Sung before it gets any later.
Director, why would you consider marriage?
Why not?
A man should have some guts.
You pass as my future son-in-law!
Me too!
Thank you, Father, Mother.
I'll do my best to impress you even more.
You two ambushed us.
Why are you suddenly in dad-in-law mode?
You silly thing.
Eat up.
Thank you.
Hey.
We're out of milk.
I must go to the convenience store.
The guy you like.
It's the director we just saw, isn't it?
I happened to see you...
with him once before.
Oh, did you?
Yes, you're right.
I like Director Kang.
But as I said,
he likes someone else.
How have you been doing?
Are you getting along well with your mother?
It feels a bit unreal.
I still wonder if she really gave birth to me.
I'll get used to it, I'm sure.
You will. Everything takes time.
Time to get used to it.
Right.
Ha Young.
What are your plans for the last day of the year?
I'm not sure. I guess I'll be at work.
What about you?
I'm not sure. I guess I'll be at the station with a criminal.
Ha Young.
Then...
if you're free, shall we go to a musical?
A musical?
I got some free tickets,
and I have no one to go with.
You don't have to come if you're not free,
but if you'd like to...
That's great. I love musicals.
Do you?
Let's go to the musical.
I'll buy dinner.
You'll really come with me to watch a musical?
What a relief.
I was afraid I'd have to go alone.
You have no idea how flustered I was.
My dad brought up marriage...
and then you joined in too.
I said what he wanted to hear.
And I feel the same.
Even so.
I think it's too early to discuss that.
I haven't even met your parents.
You can meet my parents after your audition.
When you're free.
My family issues are almost sorted out.
Oh, right.
You're not dealing with something bad, are you?
It's not a bad thing.
I'll fill you in one day.
Okay.
Still, it felt good when you gave my dad...
the confirmation he wanted.
He's such a worrywart.
He worries if I'm seeing a good guy,
and if I'll end up getting hurt.
I'll treat you even better so he doesn't have to worry.
So that both our parents don't have to worry about us,
I'll do my best.
Don't you like him more and more?
He looks meek but he has a manly side.
Yes.
I like him even more now than when I first saw him,
and what's most important is he really cares about Eun Sung.
Right.
Whether it's for just a day or for many years,
as a parent, you want your child to date someone nice,
someone honest and upright.
I think I can relax now.
Matches are made in destiny,
so I don't know if they'll end up getting married,
but it's a good thing our daughter's seeing a nice guy like him.
Yes.
By the way, Eun Sung's boyfriend has a good job,
and he seems to be from a rich family.
Would people think Eun Sung is not good enough for him?
That's why...
I really hope she'll pass the audition this time.
If they work together as a director and an actress,
Eun Sung will probably become more confident in herself.
I desperately hope she'll get the role this time.
I mean, Eun Sung has had her share of hardship...
and has made every effort to become an actress.
(Ye Won: Oh, I remember that woman.)
"Oh, I remember..."
"that woman."
"Oh, I remember that woman."
"That woman."
Sun Woo, the audition for your movie is next week?
Yes. The application deadline is today.
And the in-person audition is next week.
I hope many good actors will star in your movie...
and make it shine as brightly as possible.
Remember my friend...
whom we helped by posting on the Internet...
to expose her boyfriend's wrongdoings?
Shall I tell her to participate in the audition for your movie?
She'll audition if she thinks she fits any of the roles.
Why would you step in?
I just think it could be a chance for her to work with you.
She's just been unlucky until now.
It's not that she's bad at acting.
Forget it.
You can help others only by doing nothing.
You always belittle me like that. You can't help it, can you?
They say that personnel decisions determine the success of a business.
It's very important to hire the right people.
Make casting decisions carefully.
Of course, I should do so.
Oh, right. After the casting process is over,
and when I get things in order,
I'll bring my girlfriend home.
It was put off because of our half-siblings.
Now that Sun Ju and I know everything, so...
What's the rush?
I mean, you haven't even met your brother and sister yet.
Why should we meet them?
They can continue their lives as they have,
and we should do the same without getting to know them.
Sun Ju.
I told you, I don't like them.
That's enough. Stop arguing and eat up.
We'll discuss it later, so stop it.
Sun Woo, I'll discuss when to invite your girlfriend with your mom.
Okay. I've already introduced myself to her parents.
So I don't want to put it off any longer.
Today is Ms. Yoo's last working day.
Ms. Lee and Mr. Kim, thank you so much for everything.
Thank you for your hard work.
I'm sad to say goodbye to you.
But since you're leaving to try to make your dream come true.
So I'll let you go with a smile.
I should do well at the audition...
so that I can keep seeing you two.
I'll make sure to get the role...
and see you again as an actress.
Ms. Yoo.
You've got this.
Go for it.
I can do this.
When you traveled for work over the past few days,
I scheduled meetings with the heads of each filming team.
Oh, I see.
Director Kang.
Why did you come to my neighborhood a couple of days ago?
You suddenly came into the cafe, but left without having tea.
Oh, right. You live in Inja-dong too, right?
Yes, I live in the same neighborhood as Ms. Yoo.
I went there to have some tea with Ms. Yoo,
but I had to leave hastily as her parents asked for me.
Did you introduce yourself to her parents already?
Yes, I did. I'll introduce her to my parents soon as well.
I met her parents twice already.
I see.
If you want to prevent people from gossiping about the audition,
you should keep an appropriate distance from Ms. Yoo.
Even though you won't be involved in casting the Ye Won role,
there are eyes everywhere,
and words spread fast in this industry.
That worried me too,
and I went to the cafe to talk with Ms. Yoo about it.
Ms. Yoo fully understands the situation,
so what you're worried about won't happen.
Sure. It should never happen.
If a controversial rumor broke out,
the reputation of our company would be damaged.
Mom.
Yes.
To what do I owe the pleasure of being called out, my daughter?
I have something to tell you.
Okay. What is it? Go ahead and tell me.
I think I need some more time...
to think about moving in with your family.
Why? Are your parents against the idea?
Did they tell you not to move out?
No.
That's not the reason.
It didn't cross my mind,
but Eun Hyuk said that you have your own family,
so I might be uncomfortable living with them.
Since you're living with your other children,
he asked me if I could blend in with your family.
As for that matter,
I was going to discuss it with you.
To tell you the truth, your younger sister...
is having a hard time accepting this situation.
So I think that it would be helpful...
for the four of you to meet all together without me.
I thought of doing that too.
I'm curious about my younger siblings.
And like it or not,
we're siblings.
We should get to know each other eventually.
Yes.
All of you are my children. Right?
Then will you talk to Eun Hyuk?
Ask him if he wants to meet his younger siblings.
I...
will ask your younger siblings.
- Hey, Sun Ju. - Yes?
If you have a minute, come and sit here.
Why? What's going on?
The thing is...
I just met your older sister.
My older sister? Who is that?
Why are you asking when you know whom I referred to?
Like I said, I have no interest in them.
I don't care if you meet them or not.
Why do you keep bringing them up?
Sun Ju.
Denying the situation won't change anything.
No matter how much you hate them...
Yes. They are your sister and brother.
So what? What do you want me to do?
Do you want me to actually meet them or something?
Yes.
Your sister...
wants to get to know you. She said she wanted to see you.
Why would she want to get to know me when she just found out about me?
Who does she think she is?
- Sun Ju. - Could it be...
because we're rich?
We're rich, so she wants to get close to you.
Goodness. How could you say that?
How dare you say such a rude thing?
I don't care what you do with them or how you get along with them.
So stop trying to connect me and them in any way.
Wait, Sun Ju.
Sun Ju.
She's not even budging.
Your younger half-siblings are having a hard time, as I thought.
She didn't mention my brother.
Seeing that she mentioned only my sister,
my sister must be the problem.
I think she's grumpy about Eun Hyuk's and my existence.
Your mother must be in a difficult position.
All of you are her children.
So she can't side with any of you.
I don't know much about her,
but it seems that my sister is just like the part-timer.
She must be immature, rude,
and unreasonable.
I'm not making a move on him.
As you can see, we're not sitting close to each other.
We're keeping an appropriate distance...
What's with her?
She's not barking like a dog.
I know. She's quiet today.
Is she not feeling well?
Hey, is something going on with you?
Why are you so quiet? It's not like you.
I asked what was wrong.
Why won't you growl at me as you always do?
Mind your own business and leave me alone.
Don't get on my nerves.
Gosh. Why would she get upset?
I asked because I was worried.
You're worried about me?
As if a pork belly restaurant's owner were worried about pigs...
feeling pain.
How mean and rude. Hey!
What's wrong with you? Why are you so twisted?
Gosh, seriously.
Sun Ju, where are you going?
I quit working at this cafe as of today.
What? You're quitting working here? Just like that?
Because of the malicious consumer who poses as your friend,
I can't work here anymore.
What? Posing as my friend? A malicious...
Hey. Why would you say that about me?
What did I pretend to be and how am I a black consumer?
Anyway, I hope you two have a great life.
Sun Ju.
What was that about?
Did she just dump me?
There's no way that weirdo would do that.
Why did she back down so easily?
Do you think you won?
I'm the worst weirdo in the neighborhood.
Mother. Grandpa.
What?
Why is that part-timer calling to us so forlornly?
I don't know. Is something wrong?
What's the matter, Sun Ju?
Mother. It's about Mr. Shin.
What? What about our Min Guk?
Mr. Shin...
What?
We're done for the day.
Good job to you too.
I guess it's because it's your last day.
It flew by extra fast.
Knowing that I won't be here or get to see you every day...
makes me feel so sad.
That's true, but we'll meet again.
Yes. I'll work hard...
so that I get to see you and work with you again.
Eun Sung.
You did great until now.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks, Eun Sung.
Don't say that. I should thank you.
You did well, Ms. Yoo.
I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
Thank you...
for everything you did, Ms. Shin.
Shall we all head out?
She must have some packing to do.
Eun Sung, we have to go.
I hope to see you again.
I promise.
Bye.
- Let's meet. - Okay.
Goodbye.
Cheong Film.
I learned so much here,
and this place meant a lot to me.
I'll leave now and start fresh.
With my new career as an actress.
How does it feel to leave Cheong Film?
I was sad to go.
I feel a bit empty and lost.
I grew to like the place.
I wasn't there for a long time,
but a lot happened.
I met you there too.
Did you spend some time alone to say goodbye?
I got the job there on my own,
so I wanted to leave alone too.
Apart from our relationship.
I'll audition not for my boyfriend's project,
but for Director Kang's project.
You're always so strong and bright.
This took a lot of courage,
and I'm sure it'll go well.
Don't be afraid. Forge straight ahead.
I will.
So many people cheered me on,
so I'll try even harder.
To get a step closer to my dream as an actress.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for a place to rent.
Okay. Take a seat.
What kind of place do you want?
An apartment, a villa,
or a house?
I'll be living on my own,
so I don't need too many rooms.
I want something clean and simple.
Clean and simple?
A tiny studio?
No.
A studio apartment?
Yes, something like that.
Okay.
How much is the monthly rent for a studio apartment?
You want to pay a monthly rent?
Oh, well, you see,
I must invest my cash in stocks and bonds.
Stocks and bonds?
Come over here.
Let's see.
This is the average rent.
(700 a month, Bills: 100 dollars)
This much rent for a tiny place like this?
That's a third of my salary.
This is a real good deal.
You won't find a place like this elsewhere.
Then...
do you have anything cheaper than this?
The photos and reviews are completely different.
This place looks like it has a window,
but that's a sticker shaped like a window.
My gosh. This place has mold everywhere.
Oh, no. Dead cockroaches?
I was living in a palace.
What should I do?
I don't want to leave this place.
A place with a kitchen in the living area?
I can't stand that!
My gosh. What is all this?
It's your mom's feast to wish for a pass.
Your brother and sister...
had this exact same breakfast...
and became a show host and policeman.
Your mom prepared this meal just for you, Eun Sung.
You'll get some great news.
I hope so. Thanks, Mom.
I want to thank the whole family.
I'll enjoy all the food on the table...
and do my best at the audition.
So I don't waste the hard-earned opportunity.
Okay. Do your best.
It's time our Eun Sung spread her wings.
Yes.
I'll do the best I can.
So I don't let you down.
Sounds good.
Everyone.
Let's eat.
- Thank you. - Eat up.
- Thank you. - Have some lotus roots.
Lotus roots.
- Gosh. - I'll have some lotus roots.
I can do it.
Don't get too nervous.
Do your best.
Oh, no.
Hello? Director.
Are you ready, Ms. Yoo the actress?
Yes. But I'm so nervous.
Even though I tell myself not to be.
I saw the tape of you auditioning...
for Director Hwang's movie.
I liked the look in your eyes and your vocalization.
More than anything,
I felt how serious you were about acting.
- Really? You saw that in me? - Yes.
I say that not as your boyfriend...
but as a director.
So Eun Sung.
If you attend the audition with the same honest mindset,
you'll get a good result.
Thank you, Director.
What you just said...
made me feel much better.
I'm not a Cheong Film employee now.
I'm starting over as an actress.
It took a lot of courage to step up,
so let's give it my all so I have no regrets.
I know you'll do well, Eun Sung.
I look forward to making a great movie with you.
Yoo Eun Sung. Whether as an actress or anything else,
don't ever come back to Cheong Film.
You left on your own.
(Supporting actor open audition for movie "Hidden Memory")
The audition starts much later,
but there are people here already.
"Hard work..."
Yoo Eun Sung?
Yang Ju Ri.
What are you doing here?
Eun Sung.
Long time no see.
Han Si Heon.
Yang Ju Ri.
We're here to audition too.
Eun Sung, you got prettier.
Don't ruin my audition.
You're getting on my nerves.
Who are you trying to pick a fight with?
I'm going to meet my siblings on my biological mom's side.
With Eun Hyuk.
What about you?
Sun Woo said he'd bring his girlfriend over.
Why do you keep postponing for no reason?
I can't find Ms. Yoo Eun Sung.
Eun Sung disappeared.
What do you mean Eun Sung disappeared?
