(April 2000)
Every woman has their first love.
Why are you giving me this?
What do you think?
Because I like you.
Thanks, Ae Rin.
But I can't accept this.
- Why not? - I must join the national team.
I can't waste a single second of my time,
so I shouldn't be dating.
I'm sorry.
He chose basketball over me,
but I even loved that passion of his.
(I'll wait for you forever, Hong Dae Young.)
- Yes! - Nice!
Good job.
What?
He said he didn't have time to date.
(I'll wait for you forever, Hong Dae Young.)
Are you Jung Da Jung, the new girl?
Yes.
Come with us.
You'd better behave yourself from now on.
Today, I'll stop here.
But you'd better watch out.
Let's go.
- Ae Rin. - You're okay.
Let go of me.
- Let go. - Come on.
- Why won't you do as we say? - Do you think we're a joke?
- No, it's not that. - Are you talking back to us?
Let's take a look at her bag.
- No. - Let go of it.
Sang Hee.
- Hey. - What are you looking at?
- Are you even listening? - Hey.
We aren't done talking.
- Don't you hear us? - Please.
- Give it to me. - Hello, everyone.
- Who are you? - Me?
- What's this? - A safety device.
Hold onto it.
- What... - That hurts.
Hey, run!
Hey!
- Gosh. - What the...
Wait a minute.
This way.
They won't leave you alone.
I'm fine with that. I'm not scared.
Oh, no. My backpack.
My mom will kill me.
Gosh.
Are you scared of your mom?
Yes.
However, my rival...
became a precious friend of mine.
Hong Dae Young, pass the ball!
- What is going on? - What is he doing?
- Hey! - Where is he going?
- Where is he going? - Hey!
Don't cry.
My first love...
ended like that.
It's been a while.
(11 years later)
That's right.
Is that you, Chu Ae Rin?
- Hi. - Ae Rin.
- What? - Ae Rin.
Ae Rin!
Jung Da Jung!
- It's so good to see you. - She looks good.
- Da Jung. - It's good to see you.
It's so good to see you, Ae Rin. Where do you work?
Oh.
Here.
- Tae Baek Law Firm. - Tae Baek Law Firm?
That's a really famous law firm.
Really? I'm in New York and didn't know it was that famous.
Da Jung, you're still the prettiest in the district.
If she's the prettiest in the district,
is Dae Young the hottest in the country?
That's all in the past.
Dae Young and I are both getting old now.
When is Dae Young coming?
He should be here by now.
Nice!
(Serim High)
(I'll wait for you forever, Hong Dae Young)
(Hong Dae Young, the master of basketball)
Gosh.
I thought that was Dae Young.
Dae Young!
- What? - That's Dae Young?
- That's Dae Young? - Really?
Are you serious?
I haven't seen you all for a long time!
- Why are you so late? - Have a seat.
What's with her?
- I don't know. - Here.
I barely have time to eat.
Eat up.
You've insulted my good memories.
Why is everyone getting drunk and falling asleep?
My first love that made my heart flutter...
became an old man.
(Episode 4: The Boy We Used To Love)
This is unbelievable.
Women that look like this always get in trouble.
I bet Si Ah will find herself in trouble soon too.
Get up.
Let go.
- Oh my gosh. - Oh, no.
Are you bored with life?
I'll kill you for this.
You will? Go ahead.
Take that!
Why you...
- Stop it. - Back off.
That's enough.
You little punk.
Tighten your grip, you punk.
What's going on?
Stop right there!
Who's fighting? Seo Ji Ho, Koo Ja Sung!
How dare you! Come with me!
Come on.
Hi.
Punching each other like that...
Why were you fighting?
Fine. You aren't talking?
All right.
If you don't want to talk to me,
you can talk to your parents.
He suddenly...
hit me.
Suddenly?
Why did you suddenly hit him?
I was told not to hold it in.
What? You were told not to hold it in?
Who said that to you?
Who was it?
Is it someone older? Who said that to you?
You punks.
Kids grow up fighting.
I'll contact their parents.
You should keep a better eye on the basketball team.
They always get in trouble.
I'm sorry.
Come with me.
Go on.
It's okay. Lift your chins.
You fight as you grow up.
Go in and focus on your classes.
Go on.
Gosh.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Koo. This is Coach Choi.
Ja Sung has been getting...
in a lot of trouble lately.
I'll try to pay more attention to him.
Also, I need to talk to you...
about selecting the team members of the basketball team.
When would be a good time for you?
I'll go to see you soon.
JBC said they focus on the character when hiring employees,
and they must like old married women.
I'm going to turn the channel when she's on.
Who hired her? Bring me the director.
Mr. Moon.
But it still got many views.
That's the problem.
How would JBC benefit...
from this going viral?
I'm sorry. I didn't think of that.
Do you get it now?
Let me tell you once again.
Make sure that woman quits on her own...
before her probation is over.
Yes, sir.
The comments about Da Jung are way too mean.
That's too bad.
She must have thought the water slap would make her a star,
but in reality, she only got hateful comments.
This is why women should make it before they get too old.
Once they're old,
they're criticized whatever they do.
Yoo Mi.
Still,
isn't hate better than indifference at least?
Da Jung, I was so worried about you.
Those mean comments about you got everyone upset.
You must feel so hurt.
Why would I? What they're saying is a fact.
Are you sure you're okay?
What did the higher-ups say?
They want me to organize the pantry.
The broadcasting station is a victim here.
They probably had no idea she was a mom.
Moms should stay at home.
Why act up? She's annoying.
If she can both work and take care of her kids,
isn't she a great mom?
Hong Si Ah?
I feel sorry for her kids.
I wouldn't want my mom to do that.
Stop pretending to care.
Mind your own business.
I think it's shameless of her...
to be on TV.
She took responsibility.
I think it was cool of her to act like that.
Could it be Si Ah?
Si Ah, Si Woo, are you guys okay?
Is everything all right at school?
Hey, did you see the video of his mom?
I'm so relieved she's not my mom.
Hey, did you see him?
That kid... Gosh, I can't believe he goes to my school.
I'd be too ashamed to even come to school.
I know. He's unbelievable.
I'm fine.
(Si Woo: I'm fine.)
I know you're not.
Everything's normal.
(Si Ah: Everything's normal.)
I know it isn't.
Hey, Koo Ja Sung.
I heard everything.
And?
It's just too disgusting, so I've decided to ignore it.
But...
But I can't let you get away with badmouthing my mom.
Are you out of your mind?
Don't you dare talk that way about her again.
Hey.
One more thing.
Lay a finger on Si Woo again,
and you and I will find ourselves in deep trouble.
Kid, you've come a long way. You even fight now?
Put this on your bruise.
Forget it.
Imagine how worried your mom will be...
if you come home with a black eye.
I'll do it.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Meet me at the convenience store after school.
Okay.
Attention. We're having a team dinner today.
Finish up your work.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Heo, what's the occasion?
If you have a problem, you don't have to attend it.
Oh, that's not what I meant.
Those who have other plans don't have to come.
Except for Ms. Jung.
You must come.
- Pardon? - What?
Nothing. I'll be there.
Okay.
I wonder why he said you must come.
I guess the dinner is to cheer her up.
I don't think so.
I'm sorry.
- Splash! - Splash!
So this is why he said she must come.
I knew it wasn't to cheer her up.
I thought it was an important occasion,
so I even skipped my Chinese class.
Come on. Da Jung had a long day today.
Shouldn't we support her as her colleagues?
- Splash! - Splash!
From now on, I'll never splash water on news anchors.
Gosh.
I can't do this.
- Come on. - Come on.
Ms. Jung.
He must feel so bad.
Accept his apology,
and it'll all be over.
Splash!
- Splash! - Splash!
Let's just get it over with. This is embarrassing.
- Splash! - Splash!
- Splash! - All right.
Let's do this.
- One. - One.
- Two. - Two.
- Three. - Three.
Splash, splash.
Go, Seum!
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Let me pour you one. - Thank you.
Thank you for agreeing to do this, Mr. Moon.
No problem.
After that water slap video went viral,
we got so many angry calls.
It's been really tough.
Ms. Jung, thank you for agreeing to film this.
- Let me pour you one. - Don't mention it.
She's been dissed for being a mom herself.
This might be her chance to turn the situation around.
I'm sure she's thankful that you came forward with this.
Am I right?
Yes, of course.
We're here to apologize, but now you're thanking us.
This sure feels great.
If you'd like to thank us,
why don't you let us do an exclusive interview with Mr. Ye?
That would be no problem.
What do you say? Can you do that?
Sure, that's fine with me.
That's great.
- Let's drink. - Cheers.
Ms. Kwon.
- Yes, Mr. Moon? - Why are you sitting over there?
Come sit here.
Ms. Jung.
If you're done, can you move?
Oh, okay.
All right.
This is Ms. Kwon Yoo Mi.
She's the best one among our new news anchors.
Say hello.
Hello, I'm Kwon Yoo Mi, a new news anchor at JBC.
My gosh, congratulations.
You look very young.
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm 24.
I knew it.
- You can tell from her skin! - I know!
Ji Hoon's upcoming interview...
will be done by her.
You'll see her often from now on,
so you should be acquainted with each other.
I see. That sounds great.
They'll look great together on screen.
Well...
I'd like Ms. Jung Da Jung to interview me.
You know, people are saying bad stuff about her.
Nothing good will come out of working with her.
I don't care.
She's married and has kids. It'll look much better...
to have a young, single lady standing next to you.
Well, since I'm an old man,
I'll be more comfortable with the former.
Please be considerate of my preference.
My goodness.
You and your sense of humour.
Then let's have Ms. Jung Da Jung take care of the next interview.
- Let's drink. - All right.
It looks like you're really stressed out.
They'll forget about it soon.
Don't worry about it.
How can I not worry about it?
They're bad-mouthing my mom.
Are you worried about your mom?
If that's the case,
just call her.
That's so corny. What would I even say?
Just say,
"I called you because I was worried. Are you okay?"
Gosh.
Come on, man.
Hearing those words can be so comforting when times are hard.
Gosh, whatever.
I'm leaving if we're not playing basketball.
(Mom)
Hey, Si Woo.
What's up?
Nothing, I just called to check in.
Check in on what? Tell me if you need anything.
No, it's not that.
I just wanted to ask you if you were okay.
What?
You called because you were worried about me?
Give me a break.
Whatever, you were worried about me.
So just...
stop making me worry.
All right.
I feel much better now, thanks to my son.
When will you be home?
Sorry, I think I'll be home late today. Go to bed early.
Okay.
Get home safely.
All right, thanks.
Your son sounds sweet.
My gosh, you could hear it?
Oh, sorry.
I have exceptional hearing.
You don't need to apologize. That put me on the spot.
You put me on the spot first.
By the way, are you sure you want me to interview you?
Of course. Do you think I called myself an old man for no reason?
I obviously look handsome and single.
Thank you.
For calling yourself an old man because of this old lady.
If you want to thank me, sure. I accept it.
But...
that's it?
But I won't accept any more help from you.
I'm grateful, but I can figure things out on my own.
I can figure things out on my own.
So don't do that again.
Come here.
Hey, you're crying again?
I went to the zoo yesterday with my dad and saw an elephant.
I bet you've never seen one.
You don't even have a dad who can take you to the zoo!
- You don't have a dad! - You don't have a dad!
- You don't have a dad! - Hey!
Don't be mean to Ji Ho!
Hong Si Ah, why do you care?
Are you his mom?
Or is she his girlfriend?
I warned you that I'd teach you a lesson if you bullied Ji Ho again!
Let's go.
It's true that he doesn't have a dad!
Why hit me for stating a fact?
Seriously? You're so dead.
- You little... - Gosh.
Stop, get off of me. I said, stop!
Are you happy?
After getting punched like this?
Gosh.
I suddenly thought of the old days.
You used to beat up other kids to protect me.
I never beat up anyone.
You really don't remember?
You were so scary back then.
Nonsense.
(Healthy Meal)
Si Ah, have you eaten yet?
- No, not yet. - Really?
Hello.
Ko Woo Young?
Do you carry this by yourself every day?
Isn't it hard?
No, it's fine.
Si Ah.
What?
(You're a student. If you need money,)
(ask your parents. Why must you earn money?)
What is it?
Be a friend. I must befriend her.
Hey.
Do you need money because you're in some kind of trouble?
What the...
What kind of trouble would I be in?
That's not the case, right?
All right, then.
Hello!
Hi, Ji Ho. You're here too.
Are you here for some food? Shall I buy it for you?
No, it's okay.
"Healthy Meal".
Do you need a plastic bag?
No, it's for you.
I don't know why you need to work, but don't skip meals.
And go straight home when you're done, okay?
Hey, Ko Woo Young!
What's with him?
(Healthy Meal)
Must I ask a teacher for a favour because of a punk like you?
If you humiliate me one more time,
you'll have to quit basketball.
- Let's go. - Now?
Yoo Mi, you know that I have high hopes for you, right?
Yes, sir. I'll do my best.
Drink up.
Come on. Drink up.
You finished that quickly. Have another.
Here.
Drink up.
Gosh, those old farts...
My gosh, both gentlemen...
seem to be in the mood to drink.
What are you doing?
Are you trying to ruin our night?
Don't you know that someone like me makes a better drinking partner?
Goodness, this woman...
All right, let the show begin.
- My goodness. - Is that a real bomb?
That is amazing.
Then bottoms up!
Drink up.
All right. Let's drink!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
That was amazing.
Let's have another.
Pour another drink.
Let's go, let's go.
- Look at that. - Nice!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Drink up.
She really can figure out things on her own.
- Careful, watch your step. - All right.
There you go.
Gosh.
Mr. Moon.
Mr. Moon, it's a taxi.
Get in, get in.
What's this?
You said we'd drink all night.
That sounds good,
but your wife keeps calling. Should I answer it?
No, you can't do that.
I'm so sad.
Then make sure you sober up as you go.
What's this?
Nice touch.
Get home safely. Good night.
Da Jung! You are the best.
I love you!
You seem to have drunk a lot. Are you all right?
Of course, I am.
You don't look all right.
Excuse me?
(Meet to Meat Life)
Were you wearing this on purpose?
Did I make a mistake?
You're cute.
What? I'm cute?
Not you.
The character behind you.
I see.
I like that character too.
I guess everyone does.
Yes.
It's a character...
I really like.
Can I have your number?
What?
I ask for the questions before an interview.
Oh, of course.
(Ye Ji Hoon's Famous Water Slap)
(527 comments)
(I don't like seeing how shameless she is.)
(I think it was cool of her to act like that.)
She took responsibility.
I think it was cool of her to act like that.
That's right. You can't blame her since she took responsibility.
I'm rooting for her.
(Comment)
I watched the video again and it's impressive.
Go, Jung Da Jung!
("I think it's shameless of her to be on TV.")
I'm sure I saw her somewhere.
Water slap.
You're news anchor Jung Da Jung, right?
Oh, yes.
You must have had a drink.
We're going for a second round. Why don't you join us?
It's on us.
Be safe.
Why are you acting so high and mighty?
He said it's on us.
What do you think you're doing?
Did you just slap me?
You seem drunk and should go home.
What? Are you patronizing me?
Are you patronizing me?
If you keep acting like this,
I'll have to fight back.
You're feistier...
than you look.
I warned you.
Warn me? That's right.
Come at me.
That's enough.
Who are you?
That's enough.
Who are you?
You little punk.
How dare you stick your nose in this?
Don't cause a scene and leave.
You're hilarious. Why you...
That hurts.
Woo Young, stop it.
- Did you just see that? - Yes.
Sue him.
Okay.
Sue him.
I'll sue you for sexual harassment.
Do you see that CCTV?
I hear they even record sounds nowadays.
You're a public figure.
Even better.
There will be an article about it since I'm a public figure,
and your faces will be all over the news.
How will you face your families?
Sue him.
Let's just go.
Gosh.
Hey, I'm letting you off easy.
Of course.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I told you I can go home by myself.
They might show up again.
What brings you here this late at night?
I'm here to see someone.
Did you meet that person?
Yes, I did.
I see.
Still, you shouldn't be out too late at night.
Didn't you see it earlier?
There are a lot of weird people out there at night.
Gosh, didn't you see earlier?
I chased those weird people away.
We're here.
Wait, Woo Young. I'll get you a taxi.
I'm fine. I'm not a kid.
If you aren't a kid,
I'm not an old woman.
I'm saying...
that I can call my own taxi.
Go in.
All right. You should go too.
Cheer up.
What?
You've worked hard to achieve this dream.
You can't let this bring you down.
Don't worry about Si Ah and Si Woo,
but focus on your work.
I'll take good care of your kids.
You sound so old.
Thanks, Woo Young.
Don't let...
those mean comments bother you.
People only criticize you for getting pregnant in high school...
because they don't realize it could've happened to them.
If you ask me, I admire you...
for taking responsibility for your action.
There's nothing...
admirable about it, really.
I only did what I should.
But I do get angry when people call it a mistake.
For me, it's been a blessing all along.
I must be drunk.
Why am I saying this to a high school boy?
See you, Woo Young.
Actually...
What is it?
I'm...
You're what?
I'm...
Are you feeling bad about bringing up the mean comments?
I'm thankful that you're concerned about me.
Don't worry about it, okay?
Oh, here comes a taxi.
Taxi!
Woo Young.
Get in.
Good night.
(Certificate of Resignation)
(Certificate of Resignation, Hong Dae Young)
I've been busy. I was suddenly sent on a business trip.
I'm in Busan now.
Where's Ms. Jung?
She went to do...
the exclusive interview with Mr. Ye.
Ms. Kwon was supposed to do it, but...
Either Mr. Ye has peculiar taste...
or Ms. Jung turns out to be very resourceful.
It's just that she's extremely resourceful.
Ms. Lim is right.
You probably all got excited when you were cast on shows,
but it won't last forever.
You can lose your shows to someone else before you know it.
Make sure that doesn't happen.
Let's start rolling.
Standby. Cue.
"Baseball Hot Star Hot Interview".
Let's hear from Ye Ji Hoon, who got Seum back on its track.
Hello.
Hello, I'm Ye Ji Hoon.
You're aiming to break...
the single-season win record once again.
What's your secret to your consistent performance?
Well, I'm not sure if I have any secrets.
Oh, I have one.
I don't get hurt or swayed easily...
no matter what happens.
I think that's why I've been achieving good results consistently.
I can see why you became the nation's best pitcher.
Let's move on to the next question.
- Hello. - Wait, Ji Ho.
- Yes? - Who's on duty this week?
Si Ah and Bo Bae are.
Si Ah and Bo Bae? I see.
Tell them to draw lines on the ground for dodgeball.
Yes, Mr. Choi.
- Right. - What do you think?
Well...
Guys, gather around. Let's get started.
Let's go.
- Is everyone here? - Si Ah!
What happened?
Si Ah.
Si Ah! Are you okay? Pull yourself together.
- Hong Si Ah! - What's wrong?
- Stay with me. - Where's my phone?
I'll call an ambulance.
What are you doing?
It's faster if I carry her to the nearest hospital.
You guys start playing dodgeball.
Ji Ho, you can stay here.
Ji Hoon, thanks again for your time.
That's all for "Baseball Hot Star Hot Interview".
Cut.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Gosh, that was incredible.
Check this out.
Did you see this?
- Oh, my. - Unbelievable.
- He caught the ball. - That's incredible.
- I can't believe this. - Isn't that so cool?
You're leaving?
Yes.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes, of course.
This is nothing.
That's a relief. I was...
Excuse me for a second.
Hi, Il Gwon. What's the matter?
What? Si Ah is in the hospital?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Did something happen?
My daughter got sick.
I have to run.
I thought she never gets nervous.
I'm getting worried.
She got stomach cramps from stress.
It's nothing serious.
Once she relieves her stress and gets good rest, she'll be fine.
She can leave when she finishes her IV.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
Woo Young, I'll go take a phone call outside.
Sure, go ahead.
It hurts.
Oh, my.
I know how she feels right now.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Si Ah, I'm sorry.
It'll be over soon. Please hang in there.
There, there.
No!
Si Ah.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Please hang in there.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Si Ah.
Look how big you are now.
But you're still a kid. What could possibly stress you so much?
- What are you doing? - You woke up?
I said, what are you doing?
Why are you sitting here, stroking my hair?
Because I carried you here on my back.
You don't remember it?
Then why didn't you just leave?
Who says you can touch me? Do you have a death wish?
I want you to treat all the other boys this way too.
Understood?
What are you saying?
Gosh.
- Ko Deok Jin. - Yes?
For your future daughter-in-law,
what's the age limit you'd approve of?
My future daughter-in-law? As long as she's younger than me.
Hi, son.
Really? How much longer does Si Ah have to stay in the hospital?
Si Ah is in the hospital? For what?
For gastrospasm.
Okay. Then take good care of her...
You woke up, Si Ah?
- Are you all right? - Hold on.
Is that Ms. Ok's voice?
Do you want to lie down?
Yes, she's here.
Wait for me. I'm coming now.
Is this the flower shop?
Woo Young is at the hospital?
Ko Deok Jin, wait up!
You don't look well.
Does it still hurt a lot?
No, I'm okay now.
I'm covering your shift.
Don't worry and rest up.
(I'm covering your shift. Don't worry and rest up.)
Thanks. I'll treat you next time.
Hello.
- What's up? - What are you doing here?
Looking for Si Ah?
Are you crazy?
Cash me out.
Si Ah!
Si Ah, what happened?
You poor thing, that must've been so painful.
Where is Ms. Ok? She should be here to witness how sweet I am.
I was wondering why you were overreacting.
Goodness.
Gosh, you.
Are you a kid? Grow up.
Si Ah, did it hurt a lot?
Are you okay now?
Yes, I'm fine now.
I'm so glad to hear that.
Woo Young, it must've been stressful for you as well.
I heard everything.
I heard you carried her on your back.
She's actually heavier than she looks.
Is your back okay?
Yes.
Drink this.
That must've been exhausting. You need a little pick-me-up.
You're here to see me, right?
Yes, of course!
- Do you want one? - No!
Si Ah can't drink juice yet because of her gastrospasm.
Oh, I see. Then I'll drink it.
What are the flowers for?
My, how pretty.
Don't touch it.
It's for Ms. Ok. Don't ruin it.
It's not for Si Ah?
Si Ah.
This is not yours.
Gosh, seriously.
- Be good. - Si Ah, are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
I hope you didn't leave work early because of me.
No, I finished everything.
It must've been hurting for a while. Why didn't you tell me?
Because you have a lot on your plate,
and you even have your job now.
That's not important!
You should've told me that you weren't feeling well.
I'm really upset.
I'm really okay now.
The doctor said I can go home after this IV drip.
Still, don't keep things from me because you don't want me to worry.
Okay, I won't.
(Emergency Room)
By the way,
how come everyone is here?
Well...
Si Ah is in the ER. We had to come and see her, of course.
- Exactly. - Are you all right?
Woo Young, my mom is here, so you can leave.
No, he can't leave.
I mean, you know.
Woo Young carried Si Ah here...
and stayed with her all this time,
so we can't tell him to just leave.
Oh, is that right?
Thanks, Woo Young.
I just did what anyone would've done.
You're so modest.
Deok Jin, you did a great job raising your son.
How about...
we become in-laws?
(Emergency Care Center)
(Lobby, Reception)
I'd like to pay the bill for patient Hong Si Ah.
Sure. Just a moment, please.
The bill for Hong Si Ah has been taken care of.
What?
No, that can't be.
Da Jung, I took care of Si Ah's hospital bill,
so you don't need to worry about it.
You must've been so worried about Si Ah.
Get some rest!
(Get some rest!)
Nice. That was a good pass.
Yes, that's it.
Let's do this, guys. You got this!
I'm not comfortable with this.
(Certificate of Resignation)
Hi.
Where are you?
I'm now... In Busan, of course.
I told you the other day that I'm here for work.
Work?
Si Ah had a health scare.
Gastrospasm. She's in hospital now.
Oh, gastrospasm?
"Oh, gastrospasm?"
You're not even worried?
Many of my colleagues had it,
so I know a lot about it.
You can fully recover...
if you reduce stress and get more rest, so don't worry.
Hong Dae Young, your daughter is ill.
Instead of asking which hospital she's at and saying you'll come,
you're telling me not to worry because she just needs to rest up?
How could you call yourself her dad?
Da Jung, you just don't know.
Don't know what? I know very well.
Whenever anything happens, you say that you're busy and stressed.
You list excuses and stay out of it. That's your specialty.
You were...
never there for us when we needed you.
Do you really think so?
Don't even bother. We no longer...
need you.
I was never there when they needed me?
Let's see if you can still say that...
after finding out that I'm Hong Dae Young.
When did you get here?
Just let it out when you're frustrated.
It'll eat you up from the inside if you hold it in.
I'm fine.
It's true. I'm fine.
Whatever.
You're just pretending to be tough.
Thank you for filling in for me at my part-time job.
What's causing you so much stress...
that you collapsed?
It's nothing.
I'm not stressed.
Hong Si Ah.
You always put up with it by yourself...
whenever something happened.
Are you disappointed?
Yes.
I might not be able to solve your problems,
but I can be here to listen.
So tell me whenever you're struggling with something.
You're right. That's how it should be.
What?
My mom.
She keeps pretending everything is okay.
I thought she'd finally be happy doing what she wanted.
But being married...
and having kids has become an obstacle for her.
I'm sure she's struggling,
but she's holding it in.
Why did she...
make the mistake of marrying my dad?
Why do you only blame your dad?
Can't you see?
He doesn't even show up on days like today.
My dad...
was never there when we needed him.
Are you really okay?
No.
You should've told me. Let's go.
- We'll get you checked again and... - Not this,
but my parents' divorce.
Whenever they fought,
I wondered if it were because of me, who was a mistake.
They're ending up getting divorced.
I really think it's because of me.
I feel bad...
and it's painful,
but what I honestly want...
is for them to just live together because of me.
I got mad...
when he spoke as if everything were fine when Si Ah is sick.
He even lied.
He lied?
He quit his job.
That idiot...
doesn't know this came home and keeps saying he's in Busan.
He said he's on a business trip.
Hong Dae Young is lying?
He wasn't that kind of person.
No, but Hong Dae Young changed.
He lies to me...
about the divorce, quitting his job,
his situation and his feelings.
I...
really can't trust him anymore.
You were never there for us when we needed you.
My dad was never there when we needed him.
You know when the final court date is, right?
Even if you don't come this time, our divorce will be finalized.
Let's end this right at least.
I've wasted my life.
(Court)
Is Hong Dae Young not here again?
No.
Then we will proceed without him.
I'm here.
Hong Dae Young.
Punching each other like that...
Why were you fighting?
He suddenly...
- hit me. - Suddenly?
Why did you suddenly hit him?
I was told not to hold it in.
What? You were told not to hold it in?
Who said that to you?
Who was it?
I told you not to pick on Ji Ho.
Stop it. Let go!
Do as I say!
Stop it right there.
Look, it's a baby elephant.
It's so cute.
It's really cute.
If you want to go anywhere else,
let me know. Okay?
Seo Ji Ho.
Come with me quickly. The elephant is huge.
Do they still pick on you?
They're no match for me.
Don't let them pick on you again.
Violence is bad.
What?
My dad told me not to hold it in.
Right?
Of course. Ji Ho,
violence is bad,
but there are times you shouldn't hold it in.
Like when?
When you have to protect something that's important to you.
When I have to protect something that's important to me.
Let's go take a picture.
Shall we?
Let's go!
(2012 USA)
Art festival with Leonardo Christina?
Okay, okay.
The boy we used to love...
became a good memory for someone.
Da Jung, I'm at the zoo with the kids.
We'll have dinner before going home.
The zoo?
Then I'll get some rest at home.
Thank you, honey.
He was the present to someone...
and a dream to someone.
Okay, here we go.
Time passed and that boy...
became a man as big as an elephant with two children.
However, he was still the boy we used to love.
(18 Again)
One of us has to leave?
At this rate, you'll be the one leaving,
not the mom.
I can't let that happen.
Don't you think Mr. Choi is so good-looking and innocent?
I hope he starts going out with his first love.
I started seeing my first love again.
Ms. Jung? I can't believe this.
We just randomly ran into each other.
Thanks to you, I now know what to do.
Is Mr. Hong absent again?
I'm here.
Woo Young?
