(Episode 24)
Splendid. Yes, hold it right there.
- Nice! - Why must she be this beautiful?
I'm done suppressing my emotions.
I will no longer keep them bottled up.
From this moment on, I'll like her as much as I want.
I won't call her Ms. Dan Dan anymore.
She'll just be "Dan Dan" to me.
I will call you mine
No matter what you say
I will take you in my arms like a real man
I will call you mine
I don't care about what it is you have to say
So don't be alarmed
Because I know you are a sweet and innocent girl
My heart has gone crazy.
I've never felt this way towards Ms. Sa Ra.
What do I do now?
- Mr. Lee. - Young Guk.
Mr. Lee.
- Mr. Lee. - Young Guk.
Young Guk, what's wrong? Are you ill?
No, Jung Woo.
I'm just not feeling well.
I should go home and rest.
Okay. Let's go.
Mr. Kim, have the car ready.
Okay, great. That's it for today.
Did you say your name was Dan Dan?
You said this was your first time, but it's hard to believe.
You seemed like a professional.
Do you mean it?
I was afraid I might cause you trouble.
What are you talking about, Dan Dan? You did a great job.
Ms. Park, I'm sorry.
I was so excited that I called you by your first name.
I like it.
Please keep calling me by my first name.
I can't do that.
Ms. Park Dan Dan, thank you for your hard work today.
My pleasure. Thank you.
Ms. Kim.
During the shoot,
Mr. Lee stopped by and watched for a while.
Chairman Lee Young Guk?
Really?
Yes. He watched for a while,
but he left early, saying he didn't want to interrupt.
He did? I see.
Good job, everyone. Let's wrap things up now.
Okay. Thank you for today. You're dismissed.
- Good work. - Thank you.
I guess Young Guk doesn't want to see me.
He came all the way here, but he left without saying hi.
What if he doesn't regain his memories at all?
It will be a big problem.
He's trying hard, so I believe he'll get his memories back.
You're right. He definitely will regain his memories.
You did a great job.
Thank you.
- Let go of me, Se Ryeon. - Come here.
Gosh, Se Ryeon. Please.
Se Ryeon, Young Guk is like a crazy bulldog now.
You remember what he was like when you were in high school.
He yelled at me like a crazy bulldog...
when your dad was around.
That's who he is now.
But he'll throw me out anyway.
What will I do then?
Don't worry, Mom.
Still, he's not so mean to me.
Just stand right behind me. Leave it to me.
Let's go, Mom. Hurry.
- It will be fine. - Se Ryeon.
- My gosh. - Come here.
- Let's just go. - I can't do this.
Young Guk, it's me!
Young Guk?
Ms. Se Ryeon. Ms. Wang, you're here too.
- Hush. - Hush?
Where's Young Guk?
He just got home. He's in his study.
Is someone here?
Young Guk, it's me.
Are you Se Ryeon?
Hey, why do you look so old?
What do you mean, I look old?
How could you say that when you haven't seen me in a while?
Oh, right. You're 36 now.
By the way, I heard you were in New York.
When did you get back?
Are you using Se Ryeon to move back in here?
You're unbelievable.
Young Guk, you promised to be nice to my mom.
That's why I left for the States with no worries.
I made that kind of promise?
There's no way I'd promise such a thing.
Young Guk, don't be so mean.
Fine, I understand you lost your memories.
But you can't be like this to my mom.
How could you kick my mom out while I was gone?
I'm so disappointed in you.
Se Ryeon, you are my younger sister,
but I can't live with that lady.
Try to put yourself in my position.
You know what happened to my mom because of her!
Whenever I see her, it makes my blood boil.
Would you be able to put up with that?
Okay. Fine, Young Guk. Calm down.
I think I can understand how you feel.
But we are siblings after all.
And she's my mom.
So you promised you'd forgive and understand everything.
That's why she moved in here.
I don't remember any of that.
And just so you know, I didn't kick her out.
She left on her own.
Lady, you tell her.
You said you would move out once I opened my safe, didn't you?
Young Guk, why are you calling my mom "lady?"
I told you not to call her like that!
Gosh, I was so terrified.
I guess Young Guk really did go back to being 22.
I mean, he was glaring at me and throwing a fit.
He looked just like his 22-year-old self.
That's what I told you.
I've been so afraid of him that I avoided him...
in the living room and the kitchen like a rat.
I thought he might kick me out if he spotted me.
I was walking on eggshells all the time.
Then you shouldn't be here.
You should move out like I did.
Why would you put up with all that?
I can't do that. Don't even talk about it.
Because I live here,
I can be treated...
as the lady of this house and FT Group.
Once I move out,
I'm just a concubine,
and you're a concubine's daughter.
Then why did you say that you'd move out?
You know what Young Guk is like.
That's because he looked down on me all the time.
If you want to stay here, you should keep your temper in check.
Anyway...
At least your brother has a soft spot for you.
So can you ask him...
where he hid my gold bars...
and my cash?
Mom!
That's how you got kicked out. Do you want to move out again?
Mom, just forget about those.
Don't mess with Young Guk.
Once I get my shares,
I'll fill your room with gold bars.
Gosh, Se Ryeon. Are you serious?
Young Guk, that punk. If it's not his safe,
where on earth did he hide my gold bars?
And...
This is amazing.
The ice and coffee are coming out at once.
This is so good.
Now I finally feel awake.
So exactly how much does Young Guk not remember?
Oh, look who's here.
Ms. Se Ryeon, when did you get back from New York?
Actually, I've been meaning to call you.
You have? But why?
I guess you haven't heard about it yet.
If it's about how Young Guk lost his memories,
I've heard and seen enough.
No, that's not it.
Mr. Lee and I...
are getting engaged on Christmas Eve.
We can't hold such an important ceremony without you.
You'll be there, right?
What did you just say?
You and Young Guk are doing what?
Why is everything so complicated?
Nothing is going my way.
Whatever. This is so annoying. I should just play some games.
Young Guk.
You're getting engaged to Sa Ra?
Yes.
You even said no to Guk Hee...
and my pianist friend, Ji Soo.
After refusing all the nice women in the world,
how could you marry Sa Ra?
I mean, do you like her that much?
What do you like about her?
I don't know. Don't ask.
Actually, I'm getting engaged because I have no other choice.
Apparently, before I lost my memories,
I promised to marry Ms. Sa Ra.
What are you talking about now?
You're going through with it...
even though you don't remember liking her?
What about now? Do you love her now?
No.
No matter how hard I try to remember the past,
I don't feel anything romantic towards her.
I've been trying really hard to like Ms. Sa Ra.
But I just can't do it.
So I'm really stuck.
It's driving me crazy.
Why do you want to get engaged, then?
If you must get engaged, wait until your memory comes back.
That's a terrible thing to do to Ms. Sa Ra.
We promised to marry,
and we're getting engaged instead.
Still, it's not right to force yourself.
Getting engaged isn't child's play.
What if you regret it later on?
Do you think so?
Yes!
You're so helpless.
Mom, cleaning is so much easier when you're excited.
Stop making such a fuss and concentrate on the mopping.
That's what I'm doing.
Thank you. Goodbye.
- Bye. - Come again.
Mr. Park.
Don't just sweep your side.
If you're at it, you might as well sweep the whole alley.
I swept your side every day, you know.
I'll do that.
You fool. Why are you so mean?
He just opened yesterday and must be very busy.
You should offer to help.
That's why you're still single.
You should be nice if you expect a woman to fall for you.
Why are you always out to get me?
My gosh.
Leave it, Mr. Park. We'll finish up.
It's fine. I must help out.
Goodness, you really are as considerate as I heard you were.
I can't believe we're connected in a way.
My son and your daughter knew each other in university.
Apparently so. Your son is quite tall and handsome too.
He takes after you.
People say he got his looks from me.
Your daughter is pretty, and she looks smart too.
I don't have a daughter, so I envy you.
You can take that.
It's Ms. Kim.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
Over here, Mr. Park.
What brought you here?
I was passing by.
Did I bother you during your busiest hour?
It's fine. We're getting ready to open for the day.
I meant to call you.
You placed such a huge order on our first day.
Thank you so much.
It's nothing, Mr. Park.
Or is it CEO Park now?
You can call me Mr. Park. It's fine.
I can't do that. You're a CEO.
I have something I thought you'd like to see.
So I gave you a call.
What is it?
This photo...
Isn't this Dan Dan?
It is.
We had a photoshoot for the new line,
but the model couldn't make it at the last minute.
The photographer suggested we use Dan Dan instead,
and she did fantastically, like a real model.
She looks lovely.
Doesn't she?
Well...
She's beautiful.
I should get going now.
I'll give you a copy of the photos when they're out.
Thank you.
Ms. Kim. Well...
Since you came all the way here... If you're free,
why not eat at my restaurant?
We have spicy whelk and noodles,
and the chicken will taste better than when they're delivered.
No, I have work to take care of and must get back.
Maybe next time.
Okay, then. Do visit us one day.
I will.
My head, my heart,
and my soul are filled with Park Dan Dan.
I can't get engaged to another woman.
If Ms. Dan Dan likes me too,
then I'll call off the engagement...
and like her.
Ms. Park. The weather is really nice today,
and the breeze is cool.
I don't want to go straight home.
Then what? What do you want to do, Se Jong?
We promised to play games just twice a week.
You already played twice.
Then we can play something else instead of that video game.
Dad!
Are you done for the day?
I was just out for a walk to enjoy the weather and ran into you.
Wouldn't it be a pity to go home when we met outside like this?
It would be!
I don't want to go straight home either.
Right, Se Jong?
Then how about we play games, have some ice cream,
buy Christmas presents, and have fun?
I'd love that.
You and Se Jong can have fun, then.
I'll go home.
No. I want to play with you too.
Ms. Dan Dan.
Se Jong wants you to join us so badly.
Can you go straight home after seeing this face?
Ms. Park, it's more fun with you around. Please?
We're moving.
Are you having fun?
- Watch me. - Watch her.
You skate like this.
Se Jong.
Why are you so good, Se Jong?
I'm pretty good.
Park Dan Dan smiled.
She smiled at me.
Mr. Lee.
Dad.
Dad. What happened to him?
Is my dad dead?
Mr. Lee.
Oh, no. Mr. Lee.
Dad.
Can someone help? We need some help.
- Dad. - I'm not dead.
What was that about? Did you pretend to be dead?
I hate you.
What is wrong with you? I was really scared.
Me too.
Sorry. I was playing around.
I was being silly.
Ms. Dan Dan.
Were you scared because you thought I was dead?
Did you...
feel bad?
How could you?
This is bad.
She's pretty even when she's angry.
Is it tasty?
Yes.
Park Dan Dan.
What planet are you from?
You look so sweet when you eat cotton candy.
Dad, you have cotton candy on your face.
It's so funny.
Right here. It's on your face.
Park Dan Dan is smiling at me.
She keeps smiling at me.
Dan Dan must like me too.
I'm sure of it.
Se Jong, look. It's a chipmunk.
Jae Ni, here are the workbooks you asked for.
Thanks, Ms. Park.
And have a snack while you study.
Jae Ni.
Dad, what's that behind your back?
Could it be...
That's right. It's your Christmas gift.
No way. This is insane.
Dad, thank you so much.
- Do you like it? - Of course.
Ms. Park, build it with me.
Sure thing.
There.
It looks about done, so let's turn on the lights.
Sure.
Gosh, it's beautiful.
Ms. Park, doesn't this look like our house?
You're right. It's stunning.
Dad, thank you.
It's nothing, you know.
You're the best.
What's all this?
Isn't it obvious?
Sugar-glazed sweet potatoes and yakbap, your favorite.
I even brought you mulkimchi, so why don't you try some?
Didn't you say you were too exhausted to cook?
As if I could eat this after hearing you say that.
I'm fine.
Gosh, no. This doesn't exhaust me at all.
Making this is a piece of cake.
My outburst that day...
was mainly due to Mi Sook's actions,
not yours.
Are you sure?
Of course.
As if you could ever be trouble.
Mi Sook on the other hand... You don't know the half of it.
Just because she's letting me live there practically rent-free,
she thinks it's okay to boss me around...
and ask me to cook for her.
You remember how she was that day, right?
She clung to you and egged you on.
First the sugar-glazed sweet potatoes,
then the dongdongju and pajeon.
At some point, I had enough of it.
Then you should've said something sooner.
Dae Ran, you're welcome at our place any time.
Come by whenever you like to eat, talk, and drink.
The pleasure would actually be mine.
I won't call Mi Sook over though.
How is it? Is it good?
Yes, it's delicious.
Try some of the yakbap too.
Isn't it delicious?
I am a good cook, you know. Drink this as well.
Se Jong... Which one is my puppy's room?
Look at him.
You sweet little thing.
Goodness.
My gosh!
Goodness me.
Who are you, lady?
What? Me?
I'm Ms. Cho's mother.
Why are you in Se Jong's room though?
That's because... Well, since I was dropping by,
I thought I'd buy a gift for him.
Ms. Cho only cares for Se Jong too...
and now you're buying gifts just for him.
That's only because you're older now.
Meanwhile, Se Jong is a little kid.
I'm still a kid, you know.
You and Ms. Cho both discriminate against us.
It's weird.
Wait, no. That's not it.
Get out of this room.
And don't step foot in here ever again.
Mom, why are you in here? We're leaving.
Ms. Cho,
she's not our family,
so it's rude of her to come upstairs like this.
Right, I apologize.
Goodness.
Seriously?
- Mom. - My gosh.
What's wrong with you and why were you on the second floor?
I wanted to drop off a present I bought for Se Jong.
That gave me an excuse to look around his room...
and breathe in his scent.
So it was for multiple reasons.
Are you out of your mind? Around all these people?
You're killing me, Mom!
Sa Ra, you're going to have to stay alert in this family.
Those kids aren't pushovers.
They'll eat you alive, especially Jae Ni.
You don't know the half of it.
She's like a bratty princess.
Right?
After you marry, dealing with them should be a priority.
It's better than letting them ruin things.
I've been thinking about sending them both to study abroad.
Good thinking.
How much did we make today?
I checked the fridge, and it seems like...
we weren't able to sell half of what we bought.
It's not even half of what we made yesterday.
This is a problem.
Every store does well on its opening day.
And on top of that, Ms. Kim bought 50 fried chickens.
Today is supposed to be the real deal.
We might go under at this rate.
Can you watch what you say and not try to curse us?
What do you mean we'll go under?
Saying it might actually make it happen.
Mom, I never said it's what I wanted.
I'm voicing my worry since there was a dramatic decrease in sales.
We need to stay alert in order to succeed.
First of all, people must know that our fried chicken is delicious.
Then...
Why don't we put another item on the menu?
Would that be better? How about rice noodle soup?
Your sister is always gushing over...
the rice noodle soup I make.
Customers will come by to eat it, you know.
Shouldn't we cook something that pairs well with fried chicken?
Is that so?
Then what should it be?
What if we aren't able to pay next month's rent?
It's only been two days, so don't be too discouraged.
Besides, I hear the first six months is an adjustment period.
That's right. We should have hope.
- Gosh, the place is nice. - It's been so long!
- Come on in, Gun. - Congratulations, guys.
How long has it been?
Do you have any idea how much I've missed you?
What's with the tear-jerking family reunion?
He's only been away for two days.
I'm sorry for not being here for the opening event.
Don't be ridiculous.
You're a live-in driver who has to follow a schedule.
Exactly. You have bosses to satisfy.
- Have you had dinner? - Yes.
Why is it that you look gaunter...
now that you're living there?
Don't you worry about his meals.
I know from staying there myself.
The side dishes they give you are of the finest quality.
She's right, Mom, so don't worry about me.
Right.
Since you're here though, you should try the fried chicken.
Of course.
I'll try it for you guys, so get frying.
- That's right. - As you wish.
Let's try it.
What are you up to?
What? Oh, I'm just surfing online.
What's this?
The money for this month's rent and expenses.
I said I'd take care of it all.
No, I don't want to feel like I'm putting you out.
It's better to just split everything in half.
I'd feel better that way.
Fine. As long as you feel better that way.
Why haven't you been at beauty school lately?
You're wasting money on the classes you paid for.
I know,
but I don't think it's for me.
I'm looking for another career path.
Something else? Like what?
I'm not sure.
But I'll start searching for it now.
No one looks for a job that they're actually good at.
We make do with what we can do.
Talk about being privileged.
You should do right by your mom in her later years.
Don't forget what she provided you with.
What are you looking at?
You're pretty, that's all.
Did you only just realize that?
- What on earth... - Mr. Lee!
Ms. Cho is mine.
We slept together, you know.
I will never allow this engagement.
Oh, no.
If he talks,
it'll all be over for me.
Sa Ra...
What do I do?
How is it? Be honest with us.
What's wrong? Is it not good?
No, it's not that.
It's average.
It's the fried chicken you can eat just about anywhere.
What?
In order to have a blooming business,
you need to have customers coming from all parts of the city...
which can only happen with a recipe that attracts people.
This isn't that good, I guess.
You need people coming in from out of town...
to be a successful restaurant.
Why do you think our skewer business tanked?
It's because we sold factory-made chicken skewers.
There was nothing special about them.
That experience taught me well.
Anyway, in order for business to bloom,
you need people coming in from just about everywhere.
That's all.
Will we go under then?
Unbelievable. Everything is black and white with you.
How can one ever say anything in front of you?
I never said you'd go under.
I just told you what you must do to run a successful business.
Actually, Gun is right.
I only thought about the quantity...
and not the quality of our fried chicken.
How do we move forward from here then?
We'll have to develop our own special recipe.
I see.
Then I guess that's what we'll do starting tomorrow.
Yes, Mother.
Who could it be?
Why aren't you picking up? Who's calling?
What?
I'll take this outside, Mom.
Whose call does he need to take outside?
- What? - Beats me.
(We wish you the best!)
Yes, this is Cha Gun.
We should meet.
What is this about?
I have something to say.
Then say it over the phone.
I have to say it in person. Please meet me here.
All right. I'll see you there.
What's this?
I did the best I could...
to prepare a satisfying amount.
Why are you giving me this money?
Mister, please take this money...
and quit working at the chairman's residence.
The money will cover your expenses until you find another job.
Look here, Ms. Cho!
Mister, I'm getting engaged soon.
So please.
What on earth did I do to...
I did nothing to warrant this behavior from you.
Anyway, I'll say this again.
I'll do nothing to compromise your situation.
As far as I'm concerned, you're a stranger to me.
There is no reason for me to accept this money from you.
You must have the wrong idea about me,
but I'm not that kind of guy.
So don't ever do anything like this to me again.
Se Jong.
Dad, you have cotton candy on your face.
Right here.
She smiled right at me.
That can only mean she likes me.
Ms. Dan Dan likes me too.
I'm sure of it.
I like her and she likes me.
That's right. I'm done hiding my feelings.
It's time to come clean and be honest.
Dan Dan,
why are you thinking of Mr. Lee?
You promised you wouldn't do this.
You shouldn't be thinking of him.
Mr. Lee will soon be engaged to another woman.
Ms. Dan Dan.
Can we talk?
I have something important to say to you.
Something important?
What could this be about?
Mr. Lee,
what did you have to say to me?
You know...
I'm getting engaged next week.
Yes.
But I don't think...
I can go through with it.
Sorry?
But...
why am I the one you're saying this to?
It's because of you.
Because of me?
Mr. Lee, I don't think I follow.
I can't get engaged to Ms. Cho...
when I have feelings for you.
Mr. Lee?
I...
genuinely...
like you a great deal.
You...
like me too, don't you?
Mr. Lee,
why are you doing this to me?
If you have feelings for me too,
I'll call off...
the engagement.
Mr. Lee, you're the worst.
How could you do this to me?
Don't ever say that to me again.
Ms. Dan Dan!
Ms. Dan Dan...
Does she really not like me?
But her eyes...
She clearly seemed to like me.
Was I mistaken?
What's wrong with him?
Why is he doing this to me? What did I do?
Who is it?
It's me, Young Guk. We need to talk.
It's three in the morning. What could it be?
Mr. Lee, what are you doing here at this hour?
Ms. Dan Dan.
Do you like me or not?
Just answer that question.
You like me, don't you?
What kind of nonsense is this at this late hour?
Go wash up and go to sleep!
Seriously, what is it with him?
Why does he keep swaying me when I'm minding my own business?
I guess Ms. Dan Dan really doesn't like me.
Fine, Young Guk.
You shouldn't be like this.
Like Ms. Dan Dan said,
if you keep doing this,
you'll end up being a jerk.
Pull yourself together.
This dress is beautiful.
You're the star of the day. You look great in everything.
And you look pretty too.
They say all young women are beautiful.
Both Ms. Se Ryeon and my Sa Ra...
look amazing in any dress because they're young.
You don't have to treat me like your in-law yet.
Honestly, we never know how things will go until the wedding is over.
Look at me.
I ran away from my wedding right before it started.
Hey, it's not something to brag about.
But it's true.
Where is the man of the hour?
Is he not dressed yet?
My goodness.
Gosh.
Hey, look how tall he is.
That's right. Chairman Lee does look good in a suit.
You look nice.
You two look so cute together.
I wish you were getting married already.
Mom, she should be grateful that they're getting engaged.
Mr. Lee, let's take a photo together.
Good. Sa Ra, I'll take a photo of you guys.
- Smile. - Isn't this nice?
- Smile. - All right. Smile.
Mr. Lee, say cheese.
Sa Ra, lean in closer.
- Smile. - Gosh, Mom.
You look pretty.
Hey, Ki Ja. Take some photos of us.
- Hang on. - Go ahead and take a photo.
Send the kids' outfits home once they are ready.
- Yes, ma'am. - You look great.
Let's take a selfie.
- Let me take it. - With the background.
Mr. Lee.
The children should know about our engagement now.
Do you want me to tell them?
No. Let me be the one to tell them.
I'll go get changed then.
No, he can't leave.
Our background is gone.
- Where is he going? - Let me press the button.
Our background is gone.
You still look so young from the back.
You've still got it.
Do you really think so?
Sure. You should get married.
- I'm serious. - Let's take more photos.
I don't like this. I think this one is better.
- Can you hold this up? - Okay.
It's very popular these days.
You picked a good one.
Turn to your side a little.
- Like this? - Yes.
This way.
What do you think?
It's so shiny.
Good. I'll take it.
How is Ki Ja spending so much money?
I'll put this in a box.
Those bags are all from luxury brands.
And now she's buying brand-name jewelry?
Life is just beautiful.
I never knew spending money was so fun.
Hey, Mi Sook.
Hey, what's that look on your face?
Why are you glaring at me? Will you stop that?
Do you not know why I'm being like this?
How would I know when you're not talking?
You're just glowering at me.
Just go ahead and say it.
You went shopping at a department store...
and bought bags, jewelry, and clothes.
I think you spent at least 10,000 dollars today.
When you were throwing your money away like that,
how could you do this to me?
You always told me that you had no money.
That's why I let you stay here for close to nothing.
If you had money to throw around,
you should pay me more money for the deposit...
or at least pay the monthly rent. Don't you think so?
My gosh.
You think you're so high and mighty just because you own an apartment.
Fine. I'll pay you money.
You want me to pay monthly rent? How much do you want?
How about 1,000 dollars?
My goodness. What did you say?
A thousand dollars?
Have you been following me...
to figure out how much money I spend?
My gosh. I feel so betrayed.
Fine. I'll pay.
I don't want to walk on eggshells spending my own money.
Hey, I'll wire you 1,000 dollars right away.
I'll send 1,000 dollars on the last day of every month.
I will be sure to pay it on time.
All right.
My gosh. I guess she's already getting money...
because her daughter is marrying the chairman of FT Group.
How dare she leech off her clueless 22-year-old future son-in-law?
And she's so proud about it too.
Here, I wired it to you. Look.
The money is in your account.
What are you doing?
I'm experimenting with a different kind of batter.
A different batter? What did you do?
I added some curry powder to this,
and some chilies in this.
Oh, is that why that one is yellow...
and this one has green stuff?
Fry some chicken in them. I can't wait to taste it.
Okay.
What do you think, Mother?
Honey?
I love the spicy chili batter.
It cuts through the grease and is so refreshing.
I like the curry batter. It's just what I like.
I bet kids would like it too.
Really?
Isn't it nice?
Se Ryeon, I heard you'd come to New York.
Did you go to our school?
Yes, of course.
I met Judy, Steve, and Professor Kim too.
They are doing great. They wanted me to say hi to you.
Really?
Yes. It has been so long.
They told me to come back to New York with you next time.
That would be great.
I miss them so much too.
Let's all visit New York one day.
Yes, let's.
We were so naive when we first went there to study.
Do you remember that day?
We were walking through Central Park when two black men...
approached us and played us a mixtape,
then asked us to buy it for a hundred dollars.
We got so scared.
Yes, we did. It was so scary.
We talked too much about ourselves.
Dae Bum, I hope you understand.
We all met in New York, that's why.
Right.
Where did you go to study?
Pardon? Do you mean which country?
Dae Bum studied on the west coast.
He studied business at UCLA.
My brother went there too.
Dae Bum, do you know Lee Seung Hyun?
My brother could be his senior.
How could he remember someone from that long ago?
I barely remember who I studied with.
I majored in PE but dropped out.
I didn't go to a famous university, let alone even visit the US.
Se Ryeon, why did you lie?
Dae Bum.
Please excuse me.
Sorry, guys. Excuse me.
Dae Bum. Wait.
Dae Bum.
Did you have to do that?
All you had to do was nod.
Did you have to humiliate me?
What would they think of me if you say that?
Se Ryeon, are you ashamed of me?
When did I say I'm ashamed of you?
Then why did you lie?
This isn't the first time either.
When did I lie?
You told your mom that my father owns Miso Steel.
That wasn't because I was ashamed.
It was because I wanted to be with you.
Don't ever bring me to a gathering like this again.
Dae Bum.
I'll be there soon.
You are all I have too.
What we have is true love.
Bye.
This one's lasting a while.
Who is she?
She's such a hassle. I'll dump her after she buys me a car.
A car? You must've gotten a really rich one this time.
Do you like this watch? She bought it for me yesterday.
This is a limited edition. There are only a few in Korea.
You punk.
Introduce me to someone like her, will you?
What a sorry bunch of lowlifes.
Do you want to live like that?
- Me? - Who is he?
If that's how you'll live your life,
you should just die.
Instead of conning women.
Leave it.
Jerks like you give men a bad name.
You need to grow up and live straight.
Doesn't leeching off women make you sick?
Come on, don't do that.
- Stop it. - Leave me alone.
- Hey. - Go on your way.
- Did you just punch me? - Don't do it.
I will kill you all, you scumbags.
What is wrong with you?
- Come here. - Let go!
- Stop it. - Die!
Let go!
Dae Bum.
My gosh, Dae Bum.
What happened?
Did you fight with them?
Goodness. Look at your face.
You poor thing. It must hurt.
Poor you.
Don't worry, Dae Bum. I settled with them for you.
I compensated the bar owner too.
How? With money?
Of course. It's all done with money. What else?
Let's go, Dae Bum. It's so cold.
Se Ryeon.
Dae Bum. I'm really sorry about earlier.
I won't put you in that situation again.
I had no idea it would get that uncomfortable.
I apologize. Can you let it go now?
Let's get going.
Se Ryeon.
Let's end things here.
Dae Bum. What are you saying?
End things here?
Why would you say that?
I said I'm sorry.
I won't see those friends again.
I'll cut them out of my life.
Why would you cut off your friends over me?
You shouldn't do that.
Dae Bum. Don't say such dreadful things.
Not after how we finally got back together.
We can't break up.
I did a lot of thinking.
We shouldn't go any further.
For each other's sake, it's only right that we stop here.
Dae Bum.
Why do you keep saying such terrible things?
Don't you...
love me?
I love you.
I love you a lot.
Then why are you saying that...
if you love me?
I love you,
and that's why I shouldn't be around you.
You're a really good person,
and the time I spent with you...
will be...
the most beautiful and happiest of my life.
I will live the rest of my life...
cherishing our time together as if it were a gift.
Dae Bum.
Don't do this.
Don't say that.
Se Ryeon.
We're already heading toward the end.
Look at my face.
This is what I'm like. This is me.
If we stay together any longer, in the very end,
we'll break up hating each other.
Se Ryeon.
End it here. Let's do that.
Dae Bum. I can't do that!
Se Ryeon, thank you for everything.
I won't ever forget you.
Live a good life.
(Family Fried Chicken)
All right.
Dad, let me do that.
Dae Bum?
You should get some rest.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Mom, can you sweep over here too?
My gosh. Dae Bum, when did you get here?
Are you back for good?
Goodness. What happened to your face?
Who did this to you?
Honey, Mother, we should head out to the hall.
Dae Bum is going to fry the chicken instead.
Who did this to your face? Tell me!
Things like this can happen in life, you know.
There's no need to fuss over it.
- Let's go. - But...
Mom, let go of me!
Unbelievable.
How can you be a mother and be this dense?
What are you talking about?
How can you say that when his face is a mess?
He was beaten up, wasn't he?
Could her family have hired thugs to make him leave her?
As if Dae Bum would ever take a beating for no reason.
I guess.
Enough with the nonsense...
and get ready to open for the day.
Time is the medicine he needs right now.
So don't be on his case and leave him be.
Do you think it was easy for him to come back here?
- Gosh. - Goodness.
And now he's frying chicken.
He's back to live the poor life.
Hold on a second.
There's no way he left her of his own accord.
That's right.
The darn wench must've used Dae Bum...
and then kicked him to the curb.
If she knows any better, she'll stay out of my sight.
Dad, how do we look?
You look great.
Jae Ni, you look stunning.
Boys, you look so handsome today.
But what are these clothes for?
It's for a special event.
A special event? As in what?
Dad, what is it? Is something going on?
You said you had something to tell us.
Right. Well,
this Christmas Eve...
It's nothing.
I just thought you could wear them to the Christmas party.
Do you all like your outfits?
- Yes. - Yes.
Why isn't he telling them about the engagement party?
Mr. Lee, where are you?
Our engagement rings are ready.
We should head over to check if they fit.
Is that so?
All right. I'll meet you at the jewelers.
Dan Dan, you like me too.
This is our last chance.
So let's be honest with each other.
If you feel anything for me,
you'll meet me at Mount Nam at 8 p.m.
I'll be waiting for you.
Why would I meet him there?
I'd have to be insane.
How could that two-timer confess his feelings for me?
Why?
Mr. Lee!
You give me strength, Ms. Park.
Having you by my side gives me reassurance.
No.
I could see it in his eyes that he meant it.
He really did like me.
He wouldn't have cheated on anyone.
Gosh, it's snowing.
(Young Lady and Gentleman)
Dad, stop pretending to be asleep.
I'm sick.
Ms. Yeoju!
Are you still dreading getting engaged to me?
You haven't even told the children about us.
How's Young Guk doing?
He's getting engaged on Christmas Eve.
Now's not the time to be picky.
What am I going to do?
Why don't you ask Ms. Park?
Ms. Park?
The kids adore her.
Don't you think they'll listen to her?
Can't you persuade him for me?
For the sake of the children.
Dae Bum, it's me.
Se Ryeon, you shouldn't be here.
- Let me take you home. - No, I'm not leaving.
I'm getting engaged on Christmas Eve.
- I'm against it. - Me too.
I hate this!
We have a problem. Se Chan is gone!
I'd rather live alone.
So don't even bother to find me.
