Beautiful Days (2001–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Hello, Big Brother!
You're here.
- You've not seen my wife in a while
- Yes.
Standing is tiring.
Take a seat.
Thanks.
Congratulations on your pregnancy.
Thank you.
How have you been?
I have it easier now that
I'm on my own.
- Have we the results?
- Yes.
- Yang Mimi?
- Need you ask?
She has already won consecutively.
Lee Young-jun
will be pleased.
Hello.
Yes, please hold the line.
- It's the Director.
- Director?
Hello.
And now, the big moment...
The 1975 Best Singer Award.
Who is 1975's Best Singer?
I'll now announce the winner.
The winner of this year's
Best Singer Award is..
Tina Jung!
Honey!
Honey!
Miss Yang Mimi?
Could I have a word?
I don't know what this is about
but this isn't the right time.
I'm arresting you
for the use of illegal substance.
What?
We received a tip
about your marijuana use.
We searched your home, and we
found a substantial amount.
Please come with me.
Mimi!
Congratulations, sir.
I owe it all to you.
If in the future any problem arises..
Leave it to me.
You need not worry.
No matter the problem,
I'll solve it for you.
Have a drink.
Thank you, Big Brother!
What brings you here at this
late hour, President Lee?
Did you turn in Mimi?
Please, sit down.
Did you do it?
Yes, it was I.
Well... sir...
What?
How could you?
Since you didn't win this year,
what is your intention in coming here?
What?
If I didn't get the title this year,
I would've ended up on the streets.
But it's different for you. You have
plenty of potential and resources.
If you don't win this year,
You can still win it back next year.
Think of it as charity
for a powerless brother.
Just pretend to shut your eyes
and ignore it.
Are you crazy?
What about Mimi?
You've trashed Mimi's career!
Where is your conscience?
Another singer can always be
found to replace her.
With your influence,
it's not a problem.
You can easily back another 10 singers.
You treat Mimi too well.
You think you'll be safe
after this stunt you pulled?
Framing an innocent person
is a crime!
You bastard!
I guess you're not
up to date on things.
Once a singer's branded as a drug addict,
they can kiss their career good-bye
Don't waste your energy here
and go home to your wife.
Who's to say
marijuana won't show up
at your home?
You. Come here quick!
Is he dead?
Big Brother!
What should we do?
What are you going to do?
You have to take care of it.
But you're the one who beat...
Beat?
You are the one who killed him!
Big Brother...
CAR CRASH CLAIMS YOUNG-UM
RECORD'S CEO
Send some flowers
to Lee Young-jun's funeral.
Isn't your guardian here yet?
I'm her guardian.
What would you name him?
Sun-jae.
Young-jun wanted to
name him Sun-jae.
Sun-jae
What a nice name.
Nice to meet you, Sun-jae.
Sun-jae, he's your brother Min-chul
and your sister Min-ji.
Say hello to your brother,
Min-ji
How dare you!
- What are you doing?
- Stop it!
What are you doing now?
You call yourself a human?
How dare you bring this trash
and this bastard into this
house right after my daughter has gone?
What are you talking about?
- What?
- I know you had an affair
with her when my daughter
was bedridden.
You had him out of wedlock
and now that
my daughter's out of the picture,
they can finally move in!
How happy you must be.
- You misunderstood.
- Misunderstood?
I know that boy's his child!
My poor daughter...
Why's he sleeping on the floor...
Where's Min-chul?
Sun-jae?
Are you not feeling well?
No...
You're burning up.
Why didn't you tell me
you were sick?
Let's get you some medicine.
Mom,
I'm all right,
so go back to sleep.
Don't be too concerned for me.
I'd feel bad for Dad and brother.
I'm fine.
So why don't you just go back to bed
Still, you have to take medicine.
Min-chul!
What's wrong?
- Leave.
- What?
- Get out of this house.
- Min-chul.
- Get out, this instant!
- What did you say?
- What did you say?
- Sung-chun.
I told her to leave.
- What?
- Tell her to leave this house!
Tell them to get out of my house
- What!
- Sung-chun.
Don't hit him!
Go back to your room.
Dad!
Is Sun-jae really your son?
Answer me.
Is he really your son,
like Grandma said?
Yes.
- He is my son.
- Sung-chun...
Why did you lie to him?
This is for the better.
Sun-jae has only one father now.
This is wrong.
I shouldn't have listened to you.
Everyone's miserable.
Don't be a fool.
You want Sun-jae growing up
without a father?
This is best for him as well as for
Min-chul and Min-ji.
- But...
- Don't let anything bother you.
We deserve some happiness.
You've gone through enough
raising Sun-jae alone,
and I did my best to care
for my sick wife.
We've gone through quite enough.
It's time we thought
of ourselves a little.
We deserve to live a happy life
ourselves, alright?
Hello, everyone!
Thank you for coming to
visit us every year.
Thanks are not necessary.
This is my son, Sun-jae.
- Say hello to the director.
- How do you do?
What a handsome boy.
I wanted him to learn what
it means to care for others.
He needs to learn firsthand.
It'll be a good experience.
You are right.
- I heard that singers came as well.
- They will be here soon.
And they'll be bringing along
presents.
It's cold outside
come wait inside.
- Shall we?
- Yes, please do.
- Go play with the other kids.
- Okay
Hey, do you have many
pairs of leather shoes?
- What are you doing here?
- I'm.... playing hide and seek.
Do you know how to sing
the birthday song? Sing with us.
- Sena!
- Hurry.
- Today's our real birthday.
- Real birthday?
Yon-soo made one for us.
Now we'll always have a birthday.
Christmas is our birthday,
right?
Let's continue singing.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Yon-soo..
Happy birthday to you
Where is my present?
- Present? I didn't prepare one.
Forget it.
What's a birthday without presents?
What's this?
I drew this.
That's you and this is me.
And the angels are guarding us
till we arrive
at our house of happiness.
- I don't want this.
- Why?
I want a watch or a doll!
That's what other kids get.
Don't cry,
I'll buy one for you next time.
- Don't cry.
- No! I want it now!
This is my present to you.
It's your birthday present.
We can't take it.
- I want it.
- Sena!
Don't be a show off.
We won't take something not ours.
Then give me this in exchange.
- What?
- This drawing.
Then, it'll be an exchange.
Don't want to?
Forget it then.
Here.
Thanks.
- Thank you.
- This one is yours.
Hey!
Get in line.
Wait...
Come here.
This is for singing so well
just now
When I grow up,
I'm going to be a famous singer,
just like you.
Yon-soo!
I got an autograph!
Yon-soo!
Sena!
Are you all right?
Endure it!
We're nearly there!
Sena!
I'm really sorry.
Sena...
Sena, I'm sorry
I really am...
We should go.
- Sena!
- Yon-soo!
- Finished your classes?
- Waiting for me again?
Something is fishy..
Why did you wait for me here
all of a sudden?
Because I like you!
Did you finish your lunch?
Of course.
You prepared it after all.
Good.
Let's go.
Faster!
That's dangerous!
Hold tight!
It's time for your haircut.
I said I'm going to
the hair saloon this time!
Don't touch my hair!
I'm going to do a straight perm.
You're still too young
to do straight perm.
- Let me cut it this time.
- No!
You always make me
look like a country girl.
I've saved up money
to go to a beauty salon.
Just let me cut it this time.
Don't even dream about it.
I really don't understand you..
Why do you like cutting
my hair so much?
No particular reason.
Just that I've always
taken care of your hair.
Be it combing, washing
or drying it
Then now is the time for
you to stop doing it.
I guess you're right.
In the future you'll
have to do it yourself.
Oh and our class is
going on a graduation trip.
Really?
- Where to?
- Gyeongju.
- It'll be fun.
- No way!
I'll have to spend four nights
with those girls.
I'm not going!
It's a once in a lifetime trip.
Why don't you want to go?
I don't want to go.
I'd rather go and
see a movie with you.
You're worried about the fee,
aren't you?
I can give you the money.
Don't worry.
Forget it.
You didn't get to go either
when you graduated.
That was because the
situation back then was bad.
It still is.
No matter what,
I'm going to make
sure you get to go.
If you don't go,
you won't have
any graduation pictures later.
So, go have fun.
You'll have a good time
with your friends there
and do take many pictures.
- Yon-soo.
- Yes?
That's my summer stuff.
You just can't sit still, can you?
I'll wash your hair.
Give me a soap.
- Too hot!
- Be patient.
I said be patient
It's done.
Sena, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'll live with the guilt until I die.
Bye.
You'll come visit often, right?
No.
If I come visit, I can't be strong.
I'll cry a lot and will want to stay back.
Until I can take you away from here,
I'm going to be strong
and not think of anything else.
I'll concentrate on
saving money for the both of us.
Then when will we meet again?
Do I have to wait till then
to see you again?
Let's see each other on our birthday.
We'll be patient
and wait till Christmas.
What do you think?
- On our birthday?
- Yes.
We'll celebrate in style.
We'll eat good food
and will have great fun.
We never got to celebrate
away from the orphanage.
Where do you want to go?
- No where.
- Think.
Don't tell me there's no place
that you want to go with me.
I'm disappointed.
- I do want to see Seoul Tower.
- Seoul Tower?
When I go up,
everyone will be under my feet.
Those who looked down on me
because I'm poor,
or because I am an orphan.
I'm going to step all over them.
Okay..
Let's meet at Seoul Tower.
Hand in hand,
we'll go up to the top floor.
And we'll step on
all those who bullied you.
- Really?
- Yes!
Christmas day?
Yes.
- What time?
- Five p.m.
- Five?
- Don't be late.
Even if I'm late, you'll
have to wait for me.
No you can't, because that day is
an important day to us.
You can't be late.
Here..
Take this.
What is it?
Yon-soo...
Your mom left them for you.
Yes,
she gave them to me
before she passed away
telling me not to be lonely.
Let's wear one each.
Then we'll be less lonely
even if we're apart.
- It's too big to fit your finger.
- Don'I worry. I know what to do.
How about that?
I'll put it on for you.
Yon-soo...
Don't cry.
If you cry, how will
I be able to leave you behind?
What am I going to do?
How am I going to live without you?
Just be a little patient
until I come for you.
Don't cry now.
Don't cry.
I'll come as soon as I can.
- Yon-soo!
- Sena!
Yon-soo! Yon-soo!
- Sena!
- Yon-soo!
- Don't run! You'll get hurt!
- See you on our birthday
Sena!
Yon-soo!
Congratulations on getting
into university, Sun-jae!
You had it hard lately,
take time to rest
and do the things you want.
What did I tell you?
You were meant to be a doctor.
If you had only listened to me,
you would've gotten in last year.
Now at last you've
found your right path.
I'm so proud of you, son.
Cheers!
Min-chul.
Brother!
If you'd told us you were coming back,
we would've picked you up
at the airport.
Where's Min-ji?
- She's not here.
- What do you mean?
She's staying with her grandmother.
Sit down.
Has it been three years?
So you've gotten rid of her too.
Sending me off to the U.S.
Wasn't that enough?
I didn't kick her out.
She left on her own free will.
I won't tolerate anyone
who turns their back on me,
even if they're my own blood.
Have something to eat...
Brother!
Brother!
Is Grandma sick?
She's very ill.
Why didn't you take her to a hospital?
Grandma...
My poor Min-chul..
You're finally back..
My Min-chul has come back.
Why are you living in this place?
You should've asked Dad for help.
I'd rather take my own life
than ask him for help.
Min-chul!
Yes!
Your father's a frightening person.
If you can't accept his ways,
go abroad and don't come back.
That's for the best.
Grandma.
Grandma!
Grandma...
Goodbye.
Must we go back in there?
To have us absent
from his life would give him
too much happiness.
It's enough that Mom and Grandma
suffered because of him.
We already lost many happy days
because of him,
but I won't let that happen again.
I won't let him take a thing
from us again.
Be it our future or life.
Let's go.
Victory?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Sorry!
Is there anything I can do for you?
I'm really sorry.
- Here...
- Thank you.
- They're ruined.
- I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Hello, this is the food store.
Dear Sena!...
Gathering!
We've a gathering!
Anyone who has stolen or
seen others steal,
come forward.
If anyone comes forward
and confesses,
we'll end this right away.
The reason I called this gathering is..
Now that I'm the new principal,
I want to be sure
that no one from this home
will ever steal again.
I did it.
I said I'm the one who stole.
I stole from school, shops;
I did it so many
times I can't keep count.
Are you happy now?
- What is your name?
- I'm Kim Sena.
Everyone's excused except her.
Hurry up!
"Document of Regret"
Who is it for?
It's for my younger sister.
Can I see that?
Mister, wait!
Hello, how are you?
lt's sister Yon-soo.
I'm fine. What about you?
I'm sorry l can't
talk to you right now.
Could you please
put Sena on the line?
What?!
Sena has run away from home?
Miss! Are you alright?!
Sena.. Sena..
Hurry up, Yon-soo..
l'll be angry
if you don't come.
You know I'll be very fierce
once I get angry.
Yon-soo, now l will count to 100.
You must come before
I reach 100.
One.. Two.. Three.. Four..
Welcome.
I'm sorry, may l know
if Kim Yon-soo
works here?
Oh, Yon-soo.
She resigned last month.
She's resigned?
Hello.
Narae? I can work there?
Before 2 o'clock?
Okay.
Yon-soo! Yon-soo!
- Narae!
Yon-soo, you are here!
It's so cold!
Why are you out here?
l just want you to consider
this carefully before you go in.
Are you sure you want to
work in the music store?
Yes, I'm sure.
Why would you take
a job like this?
After all, you are an art
college student.
Your knowledge
will enable you
to find a better job easily.
Am I wrong?
Didn't I tell you?
l want to work here
and at the same time I
intend to look for my sister.
Yon-soo, when she said she
wanted to be a singer she was still a kid.
Besides, she might
not even come here.
Even so, her dream is to become
a singer.
Don't you think I'll have
a better chance of finding her here?
Besides from a very young
age Sena and l
had a certain affinity with Victory.
Fine, do as you wish.
Nothing will change your
mind regardless of what I say.
Let's go inside..
It's freezing out here.
For today's
Best Singer Award ceremony...
- Everyone has worked hard.
- We're just doing our job.
I would like to
confirm some things beforehand.
Firstly,
is the advertisement ready?
Yes. It's being
broadcasted 3 times a day.
Once at 10 am,
4 pm and 7 pm for 15 minutes.
And how about
the fans' activities?
We've selected 500 fans
and another 500 from
the Internet.
All together 1000
fans will win small prizes
After the proclamation
of the Best Singer,
l'll release the name list
of fans who won the lucky draw.
We must try to control the
situation this time.
Pay close attention to the security.
Don't lose control like last year.
Yes, don't you worry!
Leave it to me.
l will do my best.
Also, we'll be having
a celebration banquet tonight.
You all should attend as well.
Yes.
You've worked hard today.
You worked hard too.
Hello, Mr Lee.
- l came to congratulate you.
- Your award's placard is ready.
Please take a seat.
Congratulations, Boss.
You have now received 10 awards.
Yes, Victory has endured
much hardship.
And yet, every year we would
still win the Best Singer award.
All the credit goes to you, Boss.
l recall the days
when you were our Big Brother.
Can I call you Big Brother again?
Congratulations, Big Brother.
- You played your part as well.
- Thank you.
Actually the one who worked
the hardest should be Director Lee.
Will you be giving him
a bonus?
Don't worry. Everyone
will be rewarded.
So, is there anything
special you would like to have?
- Just one.
- What is it?
Let me be in charge of
the personnel department.
Personnel department?
Director, I'm sorry but
there are too many
fans outside.
l don't think we can
control the situation.
But we must go now.
It's the final rehearsal.
We can't be late.
And I have alot of dresses to
change into. What should we do?
Could you lend me
your coat?
Ask Kyu-suk to
prepare the car.
While l distract the fans,
drive my car and send her
to the rehearsal.
- OK, I understand.
- l am leaving.
What are you doing?
Come with me.
l will scream if you
continue doing this.
Come on, just follow me.
Director, how may I
help you?
May I borrow her
for a while?
Yes, but l am available as well.
You can borrow me too...
Follow me
There's no problem,
if you borrow me.
l can do anything as well...
- Kyu-suk.
- Yes?
- Pull over here.
- Ok.
Thank you.
Please get off now.
- What?
- Won't you leave?
l heard you were
dragged away by the Prince.
What happened?
Who is Prince?
Is that his name?
He is the boss' son.
He is the enterprise director.
We call him Prince
behind his back.
He's the boss' son?
What about it?
Why?
- So it's him?
- Who?
It's nothing.
Narae, are you done here yet?
Come out here now. And
bring the newcomer with you.
Yes.
Two CDs to each compartment.
You should look
out for people like that.
- Kim Yon-soo?
- Yes?
Thief! Thief!
Stop her! Thief!
Hurry!
What are you still doing there?
Go and catch her!
Stop! Don't run!
You're here.

I'm on my own.

Hey, do you have many
pairs of leather shoes?
- What are you doing here?
- I'm.... playing hide and seek.
Do you know how to sing
the birthday song? Sing with us.
- Sena!
- Hurry.
- Today's our real birthday.
- Real birthday?
Yon-soo made one for us.
Now we'll always have a birthday.
Christmas is our birthday,
right?
Let's continue singing.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Yon-soo..
Happy birthday to you
Where is my present?
- Present? I didn't prepare one.
Forget it.
What's a birthday without presents?
What's this?
I drew this.
That's you and this is me.
And the angels are guarding us
till we arrive
at our house of happiness.
- I don't want this.
- Why?
I want a watch or a doll!
That's what other kids get.
Don't cry,
I'll buy one for you next time.
- Don't cry.
- No! I want it now!
This is my present to you.
It's your birthday present.
We can't take it.
- I want it.
- Sena!
Don't be a show off.
We won't take something not ours.
Then give me this in exchange.
- What?
- This drawing.
Then, it'll be an exchange.
Don't want to?
Forget it then.
Here.
Thanks.
- Thank you.
- This one is yours.
Hey!
Get in line.
Wait...
Come here.
This is for singing so well
just now
When I grow up,
I'm going to be a famous singer,
just like you.
Yon-soo!
I got an autograph!
Yon-soo!
Sena!
Are you all right?
Endure it!
We're nearly there!
Sena!
I'm really sorry.
Sena...
Sena, I'm sorry
I really am...
We should go.
- Sena!
- Yon-soo!
- Finished your classes?
- Waiting for me again?
Something is fishy..
Why did you wait for me here
all of a sudden?
Because I like you!
Did you finish your lunch?
Of course.
You prepared it after all.
Good.
Let's go.
Faster!
That's dangerous!
Hold tight!
It's time for your haircut.
I said I'm going to
the hair saloon this time!
Don't touch my hair!
I'm going to do a straight perm.
You're still too young
to do straight perm.
- Let me cut it this time.
- No!
You always make me
look like a country girl.
I've saved up money
to go to a beauty salon.
Just let me cut it this time.
Don't even dream about it.
I really don't understand you..
Why do you like cutting
my hair so much?
No particular reason.
Just that I've always
taken care of your hair.
Be it combing, washing
or drying it
Then now is the time for
you to stop doing it.
I guess you're right.
In the future you'll
have to do it yourself.
Oh and our class is
going on a graduation trip.
Really?
- Where to?
- Gyeongju.
- It'll be fun.
- No way!
I'll have to spend four nights
with those girls.
I'm not going!
It's a once in a lifetime trip.
Why don't you want to go?
I don't want to go.
I'd rather go and
see a movie with you.
You're worried about the fee,
aren't you?
I can give you the money.
Don't worry.
Forget it.
You didn't get to go either
when you graduated.
That was because the
situation back then was bad.
It still is.
No matter what,
I'm going to make
sure you get to go.
If you don't go,
you won't have
any graduation pictures later.
So, go have fun.
You'll have a good time
with your friends there
and do take many pictures.
- Yon-soo.
- Yes?
That's my summer stuff.
You just can't sit still, can you?
I'll wash your hair.
Give me a soap.
- Too hot!
- Be patient.
I said be patient
It's done.
Sena, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'll live with the guilt until I die.
Bye.
You'll come visit often, right?
No.
If I come visit, I can't be strong.
I'll cry a lot and will want to stay back.
Until I can take you away from here,
I'm going to be strong
and not think of anything else.
I'll concentrate on
saving money for the both of us.
Then when will we meet again?
Do I have to wait till then
to see you again?
Let's see each other on our birthday.
We'll be patient
and wait till Christmas.
What do you think?
- On our birthday?
- Yes.
We'll celebrate in style.
We'll eat good food
and will have great fun.
We never got to celebrate
away from the orphanage.
Where do you want to go?
- No where.
- Think.
Don't tell me there's no place
that you want to go with me.
I'm disappointed.
- I do want to see Seoul Tower.
- Seoul Tower?
When I go up,
everyone will be under my feet.
Those who looked down on me
because I'm poor,
or because I am an orphan.
I'm going to step all over them.
Okay..
Let's meet at Seoul Tower.
Hand in hand,
we'll go up to the top floor.
And we'll step on
all those who bullied you.
- Really?
- Yes!
Christmas day?
Yes.
- What time?
- Five p.m.
- Five?
- Don't be late.
Even if I'm late, you'll
have to wait for me.
No you can't, because that day is
an important day to us.
You can't be late.
Here..
Take this.
What is it?
Yon-soo...
Your mom left them for you.
Yes,
she gave them to me
before she passed away
telling me not to be lonely.
Let's wear one each.
Then we'll be less lonely
even if we're apart.
- It's too big to fit your finger.
- Don'I worry. I know what to do.
How about that?
I'll put it on for you.
Yon-soo...
Don't cry.
If you cry, how will
I be able to leave you behind?
What am I going to do?
How am I going to live without you?
Just be a little patient
until I come for you.
Don't cry now.
Don't cry.
I'll come as soon as I can.
- Yon-soo!
- Sena!
Yon-soo! Yon-soo!
- Sena!
- Yon-soo!
- Don't run! You'll get hurt!
- See you on our birthday
Sena!
Yon-soo!
Congratulations on getting
into university, Sun-jae!
You had it hard lately,
take time to rest
and do the things you want.
What did I tell you?
You were meant to be a doctor.
If you had only listened to me,
you would've gotten in last year.
Now at last you've
found your right path.
I'm so proud of you, son.
Cheers!
Min-chul.
Brother!
If you'd told us you were coming back,
we would've picked you up
at the airport.
Where's Min-ji?
- She's not here.
- What do you mean?
She's staying with her grandmother.
Sit down.
Has it been three years?
So you've gotten rid of her too.
Sending me off to the U.S.
Wasn't that enough?
I didn't kick her out.
She left on her own free will.
I won't tolerate anyone
who turns their back on me,
even if they're my own blood.
Have something to eat...
Brother!
Brother!
Is Grandma sick?
She's very ill.
Why didn't you take her to a hospital?
Grandma...
My poor Min-chul..
You're finally back..
My Min-chul has come back.
Why are you living in this place?
You should've asked Dad for help.
I'd rather take my own life
than ask him for help.
Min-chul!
Yes!
Your father's a frightening person.
If you can't accept his ways,
go abroad and don't come back.
That's for the best.
Grandma.
Grandma!
Grandma...
Goodbye.
Must we go back in there?
To have us absent
from his life would give him
too much happiness.
It's enough that Mom and Grandma
suffered because of him.
We already lost many happy days
because of him,
but I won't let that happen again.
I won't let him take a thing
from us again.
Be it our future or life.
Let's go.
Victory?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Sorry!
Is there anything I can do for you?
I'm really sorry.
- Here...
- Thank you.
- They're ruined.
- I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Hello, this is the food store.
Dear Sena!...
Gathering!
We've a gathering!
Anyone who has stolen or
seen others steal,
come forward.
If anyone comes forward
and confesses,
we'll end this right away.
The reason I called this gathering is..
Now that I'm the new principal,
I want to be sure
that no one from this home
will ever steal again.
I did it.
I said I'm the one who stole.
I stole from school, shops;
I did it so many
times I can't keep count.
Are you happy now?
- What is your name?
- I'm Kim Sena.
Everyone's excused except her.
Hurry up!
"Document of Regret"
Who is it for?
It's for my younger sister.
Can I see that?
Mister, wait!
Hello, how are you?
lt's sister Yon-soo.
I'm fine. What about you?
I'm sorry l can't
talk to you right now.
Could you please
put Sena on the line?
What?!
Sena has run away from home?
Miss! Are you alright?!
Sena.. Sena..
Hurry up, Yon-soo..
l'll be angry
if you don't come.
You know I'll be very fierce
once I get angry.
Yon-soo, now l will count to 100.
You must come before
I reach 100.
One.. Two.. Three.. Four..
Welcome.
I'm sorry, may l know
if Kim Yon-soo
works here?
Oh, Yon-soo.
She resigned last month.
She's resigned?
Hello.
Narae? I can work there?
Before 2 o'clock?
Okay.
Yon-soo! Yon-soo!
- Narae!
Yon-soo, you are here!
It's so cold!
Why are you out here?
l just want you to consider
this carefully before you go in.
Are you sure you want to
work in the music store?
Yes, I'm sure.
Why would you take
a job like this?
After all, you are an art
college student.
Your knowledge
will enable you
to find a better job easily.
Am I wrong?
Didn't I tell you?
l want to work here
and at the same time I
intend to look for my sister.
Yon-soo, when she said she
wanted to be a singer she was still a kid.
Besides, she might
not even come here.
Even so, her dream is to become
a singer.
Don't you think I'll have
a better chance of finding her here?
Besides from a very young
age Sena and l
had a certain affinity with Victory.
Fine, do as you wish.
Nothing will change your
mind regardless of what I say.
Let's go inside..
It's freezing out here.
For today's
Best Singer Award ceremony...
- Everyone has worked hard.
- We're just doing our job.
I would like to
confirm some things beforehand.
Firstly,
is the advertisement ready?
Yes. It's being
broadcasted 3 times a day.
Once at 10 am,
4 pm and 7 pm for 15 minutes.
And how about
the fans' activities?
We've selected 500 fans
and another 500 from
the Internet.
All together 1000
fans will win small prizes
After the proclamation
of the Best Singer,
l'll release the name list
of fans who won the lucky draw.
We must try to control the
situation this time.
Pay close attention to the security.
Don't lose control like last year.
Yes, don't you worry!
Leave it to me.
l will do my best.
Also, we'll be having
a celebration banquet tonight.
You all should attend as well.
Yes.
You've worked hard today.
You worked hard too.
Hello, Mr Lee.
- l came to congratulate you.
- Your award's placard is ready.
Please take a seat.
Congratulations, Boss.
You have now received 10 awards.
Yes, Victory has endured
much hardship.
And yet, every year we would
still win the Best Singer award.
All the credit goes to you, Boss.
l recall the days
when you were our Big Brother.
Can I call you Big Brother again?
Congratulations, Big Brother.
- You played your part as well.
- Thank you.
Actually the one who worked
the hardest should be Director Lee.
Will you be giving him
a bonus?
Don't worry. Everyone
will be rewarded.
So, is there anything
special you would like to have?
- Just one.
- What is it?
Let me be in charge of
the personnel department.
Personnel department?
Director, I'm sorry but
there are too many
fans outside.
l don't think we can
control the situation.
But we must go now.
It's the final rehearsal.
We can't be late.
And I have alot of dresses to
change into. What should we do?
Could you lend me
your coat?
Ask Kyu-suk to
prepare the car.
While l distract the fans,
drive my car and send her
to the rehearsal.
- OK, I understand.
- l am leaving.
What are you doing?
Come with me.
l will scream if you
continue doing this.
Come on, just follow me.
Director, how may I
help you?
May I borrow her
for a while?
Yes, but l am available as well.
You can borrow me too...
Follow me
There's no problem,
if you borrow me.
l can do anything as well...
- Kyu-suk.
- Yes?
- Pull over here.
- Ok.
Thank you.
Please get off now.
- What?
- Won't you leave?
l heard you were
dragged away by the Prince.
What happened?
Who is Prince?
Is that his name?
He is the boss' son.
He is the enterprise director.
We call him Prince
behind his back.
He's the boss' son?
What about it?
Why?
- So it's him?
- Who?
It's nothing.
Narae, are you done here yet?
Come out here now. And
bring the newcomer with you.
Yes.
Two CDs to each compartment.
You should look
out for people like that.
- Kim Yon-soo?
- Yes?
Thief! Thief!
Stop her! Thief!
Hurry!
What are you still doing there?
Go and catch her!
Stop! Don't run!
