Beautiful Days (2001–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
Director!
What is the favor?
Help my sister to be a singer.
As ridiculous as it might sound,
I'm desperate enough to do this.
This means alot to me.
So I'm asking you
Continue.
My sister wants to become a singer.
I'll do anything to
help her become a singer.
I really will.
Do you think
it's easy to be a singer?
I know it's not.
Is she your blood sister?
According to your personnel record,
you don't have any family members.
She's not my blood sister.
She's not your blood sister,
but for her
You are willing to do anything
What a noble sacrifice.
She may not be related by blood
but she's still my family
And...
I owe her a great debt.
One I can never repay in this life.
Since she was young,
her only dream has been
to be a singer.
She's had a tough life,
and that dream was
what's kept her going.
Please
Just give her a chance.
Does she have what it takes?
Of course.
With your help,
I'm confident she'll succeed.
You're confident?
I know
she'll make it.
I wouldn't bother unless I
think there is potential.
I'll meet her,
but don't get your hopes up.
You're still on duty,
where were you?
I saw you running after Mr. Lee.
What business do you have
with him?
I had to talk to him
about some personal matters.
Personal matters?
Do you know what's
your position?
Please...
Don't embarrass me.
Pestering him like that
He'll think that
I can't manage my staff.
After our store closes,
finish the posters
for the upcoming CDs
and the sales charts,
then put them up.
As an art major,
you will be able to handle it, right?
Yes.
Discuss personal matters
with the Director?
You're too much.
Hello, sir.
How do you do?
Sir.
There's a seminar at four
for record company executives.
What's the topic about?
This year's trends
in the music industry.
You attend it for me.
Yes, sir.
Wait, everyone.
Don't go please
Those leaving
without hearing me sing
will regret it forever.
If I become famous.
Those who stayed will have
the honour of seeing me
sing before I make it big.
You'll regret it if you leave.
So, everyone don't leave
until I finish my song.
Okay, now,
I'll sing a song by Zero.
Applause please.
Let go! You'll regret it!
You shall regret doing this!
Hello?
What are you doing?
Brother?
Yes. Did you eat?
I have no appetite.
Aren't you feeling well?
No... Why are you calling me
at this hour?
It's nothing.
You just came into my mind.
All of sudden?
Min-ji, what's your dream?
Dream?
Tell me.
I want to know what your dream is.
You should've met her.
Who knows?
Her daughter may be your match.
Mum!
You should've seen that lady's face.
Min-ji, I'm back.
Are you already asleep?
I don't even want to imagine it.
I'm too young to get married.
- You're home...
- Where's Min-ji?
- Isn't she in her room?
- No. She's not
That can't be.
She went up early saying
she's going to bed.
Then you should've
checked on her.
Maybe she wasn't feeling well.
Don't worry she must've gone
out to buy something.
It's cold, you should go in.
We'll wait for her.
Take her inside.
Mom, you should go inside.
I'll wait with Brother.
Min-chul, I'm sorry.
I should've paid more attention
to Min-ji.
Why is everyone outside?
Are there fireworks to see?
Welcome back.
What's going on?
Why are you all
outside at this hour?
Min-ji is not home yet.
What's the big deal?
She doesn't deserve this attention.
When did she ever listen to us?
Go inside. She'll come home
when she use up all her money.
Come in and have some drinks.
Yes, Big Brother.
This is why I didn't get married.
Children are nothing but trouble.
I'd bet Min-ji's got herself a man.
That must be it.
Why else would she stay out so late?
What other reason could there be?
This is why it's harder
to keep a flirt at home
than to guard a country.
- That's enough.
- What did I say wrong?
It's true Min-ji is fooling around.
If her father wasn't rich,
She wouldn't have
graduated high school.
She would be a bar girl,
serving drinks right now.
Don't you dare talk
about my sister that way.
Brother, get the phone
it might be Min-ji.
- Hello.
- Director Lee?
Hello.
Are you Min-ji's brother?
I'm Min-ji's friend.
She's being detained
at a police station.
Please come quickly and get her.
What? The place?
You should go to bed.
Brother went to
get her, so it'll be okay.
Still, I should wait for them.
No one will appreciate
you doing this.
I'm going to bed.
How could Min-chul do
this to me?
Does he know
who I am?
I changed his diapers before,
for crying out loud.
- If you want respect, earn it.
- Big Brother.
Sun-jae, come have a drink...
- What are you doing?
- Father.
What do you think you're doing?
You promised me
that you'd quit music.
Didn't you say you
will study hard?
Then what are you doing?
You are still continuing behind
my back, aren't you?
- You rascal...!
- Honey.
Honey!
If I catch you doing this,
you'll be kicked out of this house.
Honey!
You said you'll get rid of it.
You lied to me?
Are you also giving me hard time?
What am I supposed to do?
Mom,
what's so wrong
about me doing music?
You're going to be a doctor.
Even doctors have hobbies.
- Am I not allowed even that?
- No.
Are you afraid I'd be
Brother's rival?
That I'll work in Father's business?
Is that why you won't let me do it?
Sun-jae.
I gave up music
when I abided by Father's wish
and attended med school.
- Wasn't that enough?
- Sun-jae
Must I be forbidden
to even relax through music?
Don't do it.
Don't do it if father doesn't like it.
Mom!
Big Brother.
That Sun-jae..
Looking at him
sends shivers up my spine.
What do you mean?
He's looking more
and more like Lee Young-jun.
It's like seeing the dead revived...
The deceased Lee out
of his grave..
Shut up!
- Stop this nonsense.
- Yes.
Brother, I'm sorry.
I really am.
Where is it?
Lee Min-ji's masterpiece.
The masterpiece you had to
dodge the police for.
Let me see it.
Brother, this is my work.
Impressed?
It's truly a prize winner.
Everyone's amazed at
how quickly I'm picking up.
You're so talented
but why don't you
like art school?
Drawing's my hobby
I don't want it
to become pressure.
Others would like
to see this too.
You're the only one
I wanted to show it to.
- Min-ji.
- Yes?
Mother said that she wished
for you to become an artist.
- Really?
- Of course.
Mom must've wanted to be an artist.
How wonderful it would've been if
Mom and I could sit together
and paint.
- Brother.
- Yes?
- Don't get married.
- What?
If you got married,
I'd be too lonely.
Don't get married.
Don't you worry.
No one would marry me
with a mean sister-in-law
like you around.
You think so?
They'd be too afraid.
- Aren't you hungry?
- I'm starving.
- Let's eat something.
- Let's go.
- What should we eat?
- Deep-fried pork.
No.
Spaghetti.
No.
How bout ramen?
Ramen? OK..
That sounds good.
- Ring the bell.
- Min-ji.
Are we guilty?
Why must we sneak
in like stray cats?
- We're home.
- Is everything okay?
Why?
Do you wish otherwise?
We'll go up.
Stop right there.
Where did you bring that wench
back from?
Where did you bring that wench
back from?!
It's nothing.
Don't concern yourself.
You think I'm blind?
What's this family coming to?
Why do you guys make trouble
one by one?
What do you take your father for?
Do I look like a scarecrow?
- Don't raise your voice.
- What?
Are you even interested in
where I brought her back from?
Then, you should've
paid more attention at home.
You have no idea
what she's doing at home
but you'd choke her
with your interrogation
if she came home late.
That's enough, Brother.
I don't want attention
from these people.
These people?
When will you stop this
bad behavior?
Just what are you so
unsatisfied about?
Do you have to ask?
I hate that woman.
I don't want her acting
like she's my mother.
I don't want her sitting
at the same table.
I don't want her
here at all, period!
You...
Just what did my Mom do wrong?
She did everything
she could to please you.
She couldn't even say a word freely
in front of you.
Why should she do it
all for you?
Even to the degree of looking servile.
What more do you want from her?
She did everything to please you!
Sun-jae.
Stay out of this.
You have no right to say anything.
If my mom hadn't died,
you would've lived your whole life
as an illegitimate son.
But now
you're the precious son here.
How ironic!
Lee Min-ji,
- You're still like a seven-year-old child.
- What?
You haven't grown up one bit
since I first moved here.
Is causing trouble for Mom and Dad
your only purpose in life?
How long are you going
to live this way?
That's enough.
You're not helping in this matter either.
Do you think always covering
up for her is the solution?
Have you ever thought that
you might be
the one who is showing
her the wrong ways?
- Stop it.
- No!
I can't stand to see you
take this abuse.
Go upstairs, now!
Let him continue.
He's doing this for your sake.
Go on.
I can't understand
why you let Min-ji
treat Mom that way.
Brother, you're always
mature in handling things.
Why do you let Min-ji continue
abusing her?
Did I say anything about
how you treat Mother?
What you do
for your mother is your business.
And on the same note,
you shouldn't concern yourself
with Min-ji and me.
How can you say that?
We've lived as a family for fifteen years.
Are we still strangers?
I wish we were!
Go to your room.
Can't we have some peace
in this house?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Are you okay?
What was that about?
Do you think that behavior will help me?
Are you that clueless?
Mom...
For Mom,
each passing day is like
walking on thin ice.
I can't bear it if even
you cause me grief.
- You're here.
- It's a surprise you're working hard.
I thought you'll be
too busy finding people,
to help your sister become a singer.
And your drawing's not bad.
If you have the music on,
you won't feel lonely.
You might feel scared
working alone.
Keep up the good work.
Taxi! Stop!
Taxi!
- Get in. I'll take you home.
- No, thank you. It's fine.
It's too late
for a woman to take a
taxi by herself.
I'm fine.
I don't want to impose on you.
Did you forget?
You can't turn down my offer.
If you can't turn it down,
it's no longer an offer.
Is your sister stubborn, like you?
Get in.
If you're not related by blood,
how did you meet your sister?
We grew up together
in an orphanage.
But we didn't grow up poor,
as people would imagine.
We always had enough food
and clothes to keep us warm.
In a sense, I felt lucky
growing up there.
Some kids' parents were too poor
to send them to school.
But I got to graduate from high school.
And I met my sister
so I wasn't lonely.
People like you
don't realize how important it is
to have someone by your side
when you have to depend on yourself.
I'll freeze my ass off
waiting for her!
It would be better if I was waiting
for my husband to come home.
- Kim Yon-soo!
- Narae.
- Hello.
- Good evening, sir.
What happened?
I couldn't get a cab
and he gave me a lift.
- I'm off.
- Wait!
Why don't you come in
for some tea?
Don't worry.
Bringing a man into
our house
won't be a problem.
We would really like to have you
over for tea.
It's too late.
I'll take a rain check.
I don't think
there'll be another chance.
Please.
Just a cup of tea, Director?
Director!
Drive safe.
Gosh.
There goes my chance sent by God.
What are you talking about?
Do you know what my fastest
path to being a manager is?
If he okays it, it's all done.
I should've persuaded him
till he agreed.
I have no other alternative.
- Let's go
- It's a shame.
Yon-soo...
From tomorrow,
I have to wait
for him to get off work
and pretend to be hailing a cab.
Kim Yon-soo!
Where did you meet him tonight?
Where?
Yon-soo,
I really want to become a manager.
- You going somewhere?
- I have to look for a new place to stay.
New place?
Why?
I need a place to live with Sena.
Why?
What's the rush?
She breathes fire
whenever she sees you.
I can't let her live there.
- Do you have money to get a place?
- I have my savings.
Hey! You were saving
that to go back to college.
I can postpone going back
to college.
What nonsense are you
talking about?
Your professor said
he'd send you abroad to study
if you enrol this coming semester.
Don't you want to take
this good opportunity?
If I hadn't found Sena,
I wouldn't have left anyway.
Success is meaningless
if Sena's not here to
share it with me.
Are you sure you won't
regret it?
You won't even get
a university degree.
I won't.
Finish washing up.
Hey, you better find it some
where in this district,
or you'll get it from me.
- We're not open yet.
- Sena.
Didn't you hear me?
I said we are not open yet.
Sena, can we talk?
Sena. I'm begging you.
Let's leave this place.
You can't stay at a place like this.
Come and stay with me.
Sena!
- Who is she...?
- I don't know her.
Wait.
You are...
the one who came last time,
and left crying.
Please let her go.
She's not the type to work here.
Please let her go
Let go of me.
Sena! Sena!
What is she saying?
- Sir!
- What?
How much do I owe you?
You provided room and board for
five years. What do I owe for that?
Around ten million won(USD10000)?
Well, I did support you for about 5 years
At least...
Ma'am, do you have that much money?
You know you have to pay my debt
in order to take me away, don't you?
If you have the ability,
bring the money here with you.
Get lost if you can't afford it.
Are you deaf?
Get lost!
- Sena...
- You won't go?
Then I'll leave!
Sena!
Sena!
Sena...
Sena.
Mister!
Stop the bus!
Here, have some ramen.
I'm not hungry you go ahead.
Is something wrong?
You look terrible.
- Get up.
- I don't want any.
You bury yourself in books all day long.
No wonder you look pale as a ghost.
You should forget medical school
and just work at your dad's company.
Well, look at your brother.
Girls drool over him.
- Take a look at this.
- You wrote it?
I revised it twelve times.
Even with girls,
I give up after ten tries.
I've changed this song twelve times
I feel like a student taking a test.
Is Brother the one who made you?
Who else is like a slave driver?
This new girl I'm rooting for,
I have a good feeling she's the one.
I'm confident she'll make it big.
But I have no money to back her.
So what can I do?
That's why, I'll rewrite it
as many times needed if I have to.
But if he doesn't produce this one,
and pay me for it..
We're through.
- Hello.
- This is scooter girl.
- Pardon?
- Remember me?
- Yes.
- Come out.
- I can't right now.
- Why not?
I have to go to the library.
I'm sorry.
- Who was that?
- I don't know.
- Don't know?
- No, I don't.
Well look at you!
Girls you don't
even know are calling?
You're a regular player now.
I'm leaving.
- Have some ramen.
- You help yourself.
You... I'd bet on her if I had the money.
Looking for this?
- What a disappointment.
- Pardon?
This is the nation's
top university right?
They may have the brains
but definitely not the looks.
What are you doing here?
You don't even know my name, do you?
I'm Kim Sena.
- I'm...
- Lee Sun-jae.
What do college kids do for fun?
Wait.
It's no fun with nothing on stake.
How about you get to ask one
question for each ball you pocket?
- Question?
- Yes.
The other party has to
answer truthfully.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Do you have a girl?
- No.
Good.
- Your family's rich?
- I guess.
Even better.
I don't like guys with empty pockets.
Why did you come to see me?
To hang with when I'm feeling down.
You know how it is.
You have friends to go singing with,
friends to go shopping with,
friends you see when you're happy,
and when you're depressed.
This is strange.
We're always together
when I'm feeling down.
See?
We connect in that sense.
Why do you feel down?
- You don't have to answer.
- Rules are rules.
I told you before that
there's this betrayer
I don't want to see?
She came to see me today.
Can I come see you
when I'm feeling bad?
Say no if you don't want me to,
I'll just think that
you're gay.
Is it yes or no?
- Yes.
- Okay!
What do you think of Seoul Tower?
I've been up here.
But I still haven't gone up the tower.
Want to go up with me?
Stepping all over
those who've hurt you?
No.
Didn't you say you wanted to
come to the Seoul Tower to do that?
Yes, but not now.
I hate the betrayer more
than anyone in the world.
I see.
So, are you injuring them seriously?
You have someone you
want to step on too?
- No, I'm stepping on my greed.
- Greed?
My greed to live my life
as freely as I want.
You can't call that greed.
Aren't people living like that?
Are they really?
That's enough.
He sounds like an amateur.
He won't do.
He doesn't have what it takes.
No one would pay to listen to that.
I feel differently.
There must be a reason
why he's hiding his face.
He has a brilliant music sense.
Music sense... Brilliant..
My foot.
If he doesn't have the looks,
his albums won't sell...
You should know this very well.
Don't waste time on this
and work on the new recruits instead.
How long before we find Zero?
Well? I'm not sure.
We sent him a proposal already,
so he'll contact us soon.
Besides, such a good offer to work with Victory.
There is nothing to worry about.
Find him quickly
while he's still hot.
- But President Lee...
- Don't worry.
I'll handle this.
Don't worry?
I failed the audition.
I expected this much,
but I'm still upset.
Zero, I think only
you'd recognize my talent.
I thought you were going to
buy me dinner for passing the audition?
I don't like this kind of place.
There are lots of decent places to eat here.
Are you short on money?
Then just say so and I'll chip in.
- It's not that...
- Then what?
Actually.. Sun-jae's uni is near here...
You're still hung up on him?
You have no taste for men.
I know you don't like him,
but I think he's handsome.
If I call him,
do you think he'll come...
I'm leaving if you do.
Min-ji...
Mister, come in for a drink.
Have a good time
Thank you for...
Don't leave.
We came specially to see you.
Sure! Sure! Today..
we're celebrating
the start of my career as a singer.
Since we know each other very well
You should congratulate me, right?
How would you like me to do it?
Nothing special.
Just do your usual routine.
Pouring drinks, singing and dancing...
Isn't that what you do?
What do you want to start with?
Right. You're crazy about singing..
so start there.
What are you waiting for?
I forgot, you need to be
tipped first right?
I wish I were dead today, anyway.
Let's die together.
Do you think you'll scare us this way?
What are you doing?
Can't you see?
So you'll set a fire?
Go ahead. Do it!
Where do you think you're going?
We're going to die together.
- Move aside.
- I'm not kidding.
- Are you nuts?
- I'm not new to being burnt.
Want to see my burn marks?
- Get out of my way!
- You are not going anywhere!
Yon-soo.
Phone.
No handphones allowed while working
so you use a business phone?
I'm sorry.
Hello.
What can I do for you, sir?
Sir?
What?
Fire?
Taxi!
Taxi!
Sena.
Where's Sena?
Don't worry, she's fine.
- Where is she?
- Check back there somewhere.
She must be hiding.
Sena.
Are you okay?
- Min-ji.
- Brother!
That crazy wench started the fire.
Because of her
I almost died...
- I said it was an accident!
- You said you wanted us to die!
Can't you take a joke?
Can't you take a joke?
Can't you tell what's a joke
and what's real?
Joke? That was no joke.
You deliberately set fire!
I work here.
I'd get in trouble if I did.
So, why would I set the fire?
- You think I'm crazy?
- You are!
Hey, even if you don't like me
you shouldn't make up a story
and frame me.
Why did you provoke me in
the first place, wench?
You're responsible for the fire
as well.
Hey, that doesn't make sense.
Why are you always interfering?
I'm Sena's elder sister.
Elder sister?
That explains why
you two are so alike.
You! Shut up!
- Min-ji, let's go.
- Brother!
You are in a sweat.
- I said to go.
- No, I can't.
Listen to me!
Consider yourself
very lucky tonight.
You can go now.
The show's over.
My shop..
My shop!
What will I do now?!
My room...
Get out.
How can you come back here?
Get out! Get out!
Why are you doing this?
I'm glad you're here.
That girl...
You asked me to let her
go before, right?
Bring the money and take her away.
Just pay me the money...
Why are you asking her for money?
I told you she has
nothing to do with me.
You're trying to push your luck?
Do you want to serve some
prison time?
Prison? You think I'm afraid?
I am not afraid to go to prison!
Arson will get you behind bars
for some time.
You could even be on trial
as a murderer.
Do you think I care?
Do whatever you want with me,
I'm not afraid.
You want me to call the cops myself?
Give it to me.
Please, sir...
Let me report her.
Go ahead. Go ahead and report!
- Keep quiet!
- Go ahead!
This girl!
She needs to be taught a lesson.
Mister, please do me a favor.
You don't have anything to say to me?
Director..
I understand what
you must think of my sister...
I don't know if it's fate or what.
But the girl who never ceases
to shock me is your sister.
But my Sena..
She's not a bad person.
If you get to know her,
she's very kind and soft-hearted.
Really?
She seems very crude
and temperamental.
I have nothing to say to you.
It wasn't easy to get your
promise to see her...
Do you know we're alike in some ways?
We're blind.
We have sisters
others point fingers at,
but we feel
only compassion and love for them.
From now on,
don't ask for favors from me.
But let's make a deal.
What can she do for me?
Hello.
I am Victory's future artist, Kim Sena.
To become a singer,
I'm willing to undergo any hardships.
As of today, I'm born again,
and the Sena of yesterday is gone.
What is the favor?
Help my sister to be a singer.
As ridiculous as it might sound,
I'm desperate enough to do this.
This means alot to me.
So I'm asking you
Continue.
My sister wants to become a singer.
I'll do anything to
help her become a singer.
I really will.
Do you think
it's easy to be a singer?
I know it's not.
Is she your blood sister?
According to your personnel record,
you don't have any family members.
She's not my blood sister.
She's not your blood sister,
but for her
You are willing to do anything
What a noble sacrifice.
She may not be related by blood
but she's still my family
And...
I owe her a great debt.
One I can never repay in this life.
Since she was young,
her only dream has been
to be a singer.
She's had a tough life,
and that dream was
what's kept her going.
Please
Just give her a chance.
Does she have what it takes?
Of course.
With your help,
I'm confident she'll succeed.
You're confident?
I know
she'll make it.
I wouldn't bother unless I
think there is potential.
I'll meet her,
but don't get your hopes up.
You're still on duty,
where were you?
I saw you running after Mr. Lee.
What business do you have
with him?
I had to talk to him
about some personal matters.
Personal matters?
Do you know what's
your position?
Please...
Don't embarrass me.
Pestering him like that
He'll think that
I can't manage my staff.
After our store closes,
finish the posters
for the upcoming CDs
and the sales charts,
then put them up.
As an art major,
you will be able to handle it, right?
Yes.
Discuss personal matters
with the Director?
You're too much.
Hello, sir.
How do you do?
Sir.
There's a seminar at four
for record company executives.
What's the topic about?
This year's trends
in the music industry.
You attend it for me.
Yes, sir.
Wait, everyone.
Don't go please
Those leaving
without hearing me sing
will regret it forever.
If I become famous.
Those who stayed will have
the honour of seeing me
sing before I make it big.
You'll regret it if you leave.
So, everyone don't leave
until I finish my song.
Okay, now,
I'll sing a song by Zero.
Applause please.
Let go! You'll regret it!
You shall regret doing this!
Hello?
What are you doing?
Brother?
Yes. Did you eat?
I have no appetite.
Aren't you feeling well?
No... Why are you calling me
at this hour?
It's nothing.
You just came into my mind.
All of sudden?
Min-ji, what's your dream?
Dream?
Tell me.
I want to know what your dream is.
You should've met her.
Who knows?
Her daughter may be your match.
Mum!
You should've seen that lady's face.
Min-ji, I'm back.
Are you already asleep?
I don't even want to imagine it.
I'm too young to get married.
- You're home...
- Where's Min-ji?
- Isn't she in her room?
- No. She's not
That can't be.
She went up early saying
she's going to bed.
Then you should've
checked on her.
Maybe she wasn't feeling well.
Don't worry she must've gone
out to buy something.
It's cold, you should go in.
We'll wait for her.
Take her inside.
Mom, you should go inside.
I'll wait with Brother.
Min-chul, I'm sorry.
I should've paid more attention
to Min-ji.
Why is everyone outside?
Are there fireworks to see?
Welcome back.
What's going on?
Why are you all
outside at this hour?
Min-ji is not home yet.
What's the big deal?
She doesn't deserve this attention.
When did she ever listen to us?
Go inside. She'll come home
when she use up all her money.
Come in and have some drinks.
Yes, Big Brother.
This is why I didn't get married.
Children are nothing but trouble.
I'd bet Min-ji's got herself a man.
That must be it.
Why else would she stay out so late?
What other reason could there be?
This is why it's harder
to keep a flirt at home
than to guard a country.
- That's enough.
- What did I say wrong?
It's true Min-ji is fooling around.
If her father wasn't rich,
She wouldn't have
graduated high school.
She would be a bar girl,
serving drinks right now.
Don't you dare talk
about my sister that way.
Brother, get the phone
it might be Min-ji.
- Hello.
- Director Lee?
Hello.
Are you Min-ji's brother?
I'm Min-ji's friend.
She's being detained
at a police station.
Please come quickly and get her.
What? The place?
You should go to bed.
Brother went to
get her, so it'll be okay.
Still, I should wait for them.
No one will appreciate
you doing this.
I'm going to bed.
How could Min-chul do
this to me?
Does he know
who I am?
I changed his diapers before,
for crying out loud.
- If you want respect, earn it.
- Big Brother.
Sun-jae, come have a drink...
- What are you doing?
- Father.
What do you think you're doing?
You promised me
that you'd quit music.
Didn't you say you
will study hard?
Then what are you doing?
You are still continuing behind
my back, aren't you?
- You rascal...!
- Honey.
Honey!
If I catch you doing this,
you'll be kicked out of this house.
Honey!
You said you'll get rid of it.
You lied to me?
Are you also giving me hard time?
What am I supposed to do?
Mom,
what's so wrong
about me doing music?
You're going to be a doctor.
Even doctors have hobbies.
- Am I not allowed even that?
- No.
Are you afraid I'd be
Brother's rival?
That I'll work in Father's business?
Is that why you won't let me do it?
Sun-jae.
I gave up music
when I abided by Father's wish
and attended med school.
- Wasn't that enough?
- Sun-jae
Must I be forbidden
to even relax through music?
Don't do it.
Don't do it if father doesn't like it.
Mom!
Big Brother.
That Sun-jae..
Looking at him
sends shivers up my spine.
What do you mean?
He's looking more
and more like Lee Young-jun.
It's like seeing the dead revived...
The deceased Lee out
of his grave..
Shut up!
- Stop this nonsense.
- Yes.
Brother, I'm sorry.
I really am.
Where is it?
Lee Min-ji's masterpiece.
The masterpiece you had to
dodge the police for.
Let me see it.
Brother, this is my work.
Impressed?
It's truly a prize winner.
Everyone's amazed at
how quickly I'm picking up.
You're so talented
but why don't you
like art school?
Drawing's my hobby
I don't want it
to become pressure.
Others would like
to see this too.
You're the only one
I wanted to show it to.
- Min-ji.
- Yes?
Mother said that she wished
for you to become an artist.
- Really?
- Of course.
Mom must've wanted to be an artist.
How wonderful it would've been if
Mom and I could sit together
and paint.
- Brother.
- Yes?
- Don't get married.
- What?
If you got married,
I'd be too lonely.
Don't get married.
Don't you worry.
No one would marry me
with a mean sister-in-law
like you around.
You think so?
They'd be too afraid.
- Aren't you hungry?
- I'm starving.
- Let's eat something.
- Let's go.
- What should we eat?
- Deep-fried pork.
No.
Spaghetti.
No.
How bout ramen?
Ramen? OK..
That sounds good.
- Ring the bell.
- Min-ji.
Are we guilty?
Why must we sneak
in like stray cats?
- We're home.
- Is everything okay?
Why?
Do you wish otherwise?
We'll go up.
Stop right there.
Where did you bring that wench
back from?
Where did you bring that wench
back from?!
It's nothing.
Don't concern yourself.
You think I'm blind?
What's this family coming to?
Why do you guys make trouble
one by one?
What do you take your father for?
Do I look like a scarecrow?
- Don't raise your voice.
- What?
Are you even interested in
where I brought her back from?
Then, you should've
paid more attention at home.
You have no idea
what she's doing at home
but you'd choke her
with your interrogation
if she came home late.
That's enough, Brother.
I don't want attention
from these people.
These people?
When will you stop this
bad behavior?
Just what are you so
unsatisfied about?
Do you have to ask?
I hate that woman.
I don't want her acting
like she's my mother.
I don't want her sitting
at the same table.
I don't want her
here at all, period!
You...
Just what did my Mom do wrong?
She did everything
she could to please you.
She couldn't even say a word freely
in front of you.
Why should she do it
all for you?
Even to the degree of looking servile.
What more do you want from her?
She did everything to please you!
Sun-jae.
Stay out of this.
You have no right to say anything.
If my mom hadn't died,
you would've lived your whole life
as an illegitimate son.
But now
you're the precious son here.
How ironic!
Lee Min-ji,
- You're still like a seven-year-old child.
- What?
You haven't grown up one bit
since I first moved here.
Is causing trouble for Mom and Dad
your only purpose in life?
How long are you going
to live this way?
That's enough.
You're not helping in this matter either.
Do you think always covering
up for her is the solution?
Have you ever thought that
you might be
the one who is showing
her the wrong ways?
- Stop it.
- No!
I can't stand to see you
take this abuse.
Go upstairs, now!
Let him continue.
He's doing this for your sake.
Go on.
I can't understand
why you let Min-ji
treat Mom that way.
Brother, you're always
mature in handling things.
Why do you let Min-ji continue
abusing her?
Did I say anything about
how you treat Mother?
What you do
for your mother is your business.
And on the same note,
you shouldn't concern yourself
with Min-ji and me.
How can you say that?
We've lived as a family for fifteen years.
Are we still strangers?
I wish we were!
Go to your room.
Can't we have some peace
in this house?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Are you okay?
What was that about?
Do you think that behavior will help me?
Are you that clueless?
Mom...
For Mom,
each passing day is like
walking on thin ice.
I can't bear it if even
you cause me grief.
- You're here.
- It's a surprise you're working hard.
I thought you'll be
too busy finding people,
to help your sister become a singer.
And your drawing's not bad.
If you have the music on,
you won't feel lonely.
You might feel scared
working alone.
Keep up the good work.
Taxi! Stop!
Taxi!
- Get in. I'll take you home.
- No, thank you. It's fine.
It's too late
for a woman to take a
taxi by herself.
I'm fine.
I don't want to impose on you.
Did you forget?
You can't turn down my offer.
If you can't turn it down,
it's no longer an offer.
Is your sister stubborn, like you?
Get in.
If you're not related by blood,
how did you meet your sister?
We grew up together
in an orphanage.
But we didn't grow up poor,
as people would imagine.
We always had enough food
and clothes to keep us warm.
In a sense, I felt lucky
growing up there.
Some kids' parents were too poor
to send them to school.
But I got to graduate from high school.
And I met my sister
so I wasn't lonely.
People like you
don't realize how important it is
to have someone by your side
when you have to depend on yourself.
I'll freeze my ass off
waiting for her!
It would be better if I was waiting
for my husband to come home.
- Kim Yon-soo!
- Narae.
- Hello.
- Good evening, sir.
What happened?
I couldn't get a cab
and he gave me a lift.
- I'm off.
- Wait!
Why don't you come in
for some tea?
Don't worry.
Bringing a man into
our house
won't be a problem.
We would really like to have you
over for tea.
It's too late.
I'll take a rain check.
I don't think
there'll be another chance.
Please.
Just a cup of tea, Director?
Director!
Drive safe.
Gosh.
There goes my chance sent by God.
What are you talking about?
Do you know what my fastest
path to being a manager is?
If he okays it, it's all done.
I should've persuaded him
till he agreed.
I have no other alternative.
- Let's go
- It's a shame.
Yon-soo...
From tomorrow,
I have to wait
for him to get off work
and pretend to be hailing a cab.
Kim Yon-soo!
Where did you meet him tonight?
Where?
Yon-soo,
I really want to become a manager.
- You going somewhere?
- I have to look for a new place to stay.
New place?
Why?
I need a place to live with Sena.
Why?
What's the rush?
She breathes fire
whenever she sees you.
I can't let her live there.
- Do you have money to get a place?
- I have my savings.
Hey! You were saving
that to go back to college.
I can postpone going back
to college.
What nonsense are you
talking about?
Your professor said
he'd send you abroad to study
if you enrol this coming semester.
Don't you want to take
this good opportunity?
If I hadn't found Sena,
I wouldn't have left anyway.
Success is meaningless
if Sena's not here to
share it with me.
Are you sure you won't
regret it?
You won't even get
a university degree.
I won't.
Finish washing up.
Hey, you better find it some
where in this district,
or you'll get it from me.
- We're not open yet.
- Sena.
Didn't you hear me?
I said we are not open yet.
Sena, can we talk?
Sena. I'm begging you.
Let's leave this place.
You can't stay at a place like this.
Come and stay with me.
Sena!
- Who is she...?
- I don't know her.
Wait.
You are...
the one who came last time,
and left crying.
Please let her go.
She's not the type to work here.
Please let her go
Let go of me.
Sena! Sena!
What is she saying?
- Sir!
- What?
How much do I owe you?
You provided room and board for
five years. What do I owe for that?
Around ten million won(USD10000)?
Well, I did support you for about 5 years
At least...
Ma'am, do you have that much money?
You know you have to pay my debt
in order to take me away, don't you?
If you have the ability,
bring the money here with you.
Get lost if you can't afford it.
Are you deaf?
Get lost!
- Sena...
- You won't go?
Then I'll leave!
Sena!
Sena!
Sena...
Sena.
Mister!
Stop the bus!
Here, have some ramen.
I'm not hungry you go ahead.
Is something wrong?
You look terrible.
- Get up.
- I don't want any.
You bury yourself in books all day long.
No wonder you look pale as a ghost.
You should forget medical school
and just work at your dad's company.
Well, look at your brother.
Girls drool over him.
- Take a look at this.
- You wrote it?
I revised it twelve times.
Even with girls,
I give up after ten tries.
I've changed this song twelve times
I feel like a student taking a test.
Is Brother the one who made you?
Who else is like a slave driver?
This new girl I'm rooting for,
I have a good feeling she's the one.
I'm confident she'll make it big.
But I have no money to back her.
So what can I do?
That's why, I'll rewrite it
as many times needed if I have to.
But if he doesn't produce this one,
and pay me for it..
We're through.
- Hello.
- This is scooter girl.
- Pardon?
- Remember me?
- Yes.
- Come out.
- I can't right now.
- Why not?
I have to go to the library.
I'm sorry.
- Who was that?
- I don't know.
- Don't know?
- No, I don't.
Well look at you!
Girls you don't
even know are calling?
You're a regular player now.
I'm leaving.
- Have some ramen.
- You help yourself.
You... I'd bet on her if I had the money.
Looking for this?
- What a disappointment.
- Pardon?
This is the nation's
top university right?
They may have the brains
but definitely not the looks.
What are you doing here?
You don't even know my name, do you?
I'm Kim Sena.
- I'm...
- Lee Sun-jae.
What do college kids do for fun?
Wait.
It's no fun with nothing on stake.
How about you get to ask one
question for each ball you pocket?
- Question?
- Yes.
The other party has to
answer truthfully.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Do you have a girl?
- No.
Good.
- Your family's rich?
- I guess.
Even better.
I don't like guys with empty pockets.
Why did you come to see me?
To hang with when I'm feeling down.
You know how it is.
You have friends to go singing with,
friends to go shopping with,
friends you see when you're happy,
and when you're depressed.
This is strange.
We're always together
when I'm feeling down.
See?
We connect in that sense.
Why do you feel down?
- You don't have to answer.
- Rules are rules.
I told you before that
there's this betrayer
I don't want to see?
She came to see me today.
Can I come see you
when I'm feeling bad?
Say no if you don't want me to,
I'll just think that
you're gay.
Is it yes or no?
- Yes.
- Okay!
What do you think of Seoul Tower?
I've been up here.
But I still haven't gone up the tower.
Want to go up with me?
Stepping all over
those who've hurt you?
No.
Didn't you say you wanted to
come to the Seoul Tower to do that?
Yes, but not now.
I hate the betrayer more
than anyone in the world.
I see.
So, are you injuring them seriously?
You have someone you
want to step on too?
- No, I'm stepping on my greed.
- Greed?
My greed to live my life
as freely as I want.
You can't call that greed.
Aren't people living like that?
Are they really?
That's enough.
He sounds like an amateur.
He won't do.
He doesn't have what it takes.
No one would pay to listen to that.
I feel differently.
There must be a reason
why he's hiding his face.
He has a brilliant music sense.
Music sense... Brilliant..
My foot.
If he doesn't have the looks,
his albums won't sell...
You should know this very well.
Don't waste time on this
and work on the new recruits instead.
How long before we find Zero?
Well? I'm not sure.
We sent him a proposal already,
so he'll contact us soon.
Besides, such a good offer to work with Victory.
There is nothing to worry about.
Find him quickly
while he's still hot.
- But President Lee...
- Don't worry.
I'll handle this.
Don't worry?
I failed the audition.
I expected this much,
but I'm still upset.
Zero, I think only
you'd recognize my talent.
I thought you were going to
buy me dinner for passing the audition?
I don't like this kind of place.
There are lots of decent places to eat here.
Are you short on money?
Then just say so and I'll chip in.
- It's not that...
- Then what?
Actually.. Sun-jae's uni is near here...
You're still hung up on him?
You have no taste for men.
I know you don't like him,
but I think he's handsome.
If I call him,
do you think he'll come...
I'm leaving if you do.
Min-ji...
Mister, come in for a drink.
Have a good time
Thank you for...
Don't leave.
We came specially to see you.
Sure! Sure! Today..
we're celebrating
the start of my career as a singer.
Since we know each other very well
You should congratulate me, right?
How would you like me to do it?
Nothing special.
Just do your usual routine.
Pouring drinks, singing and dancing...
Isn't that what you do?
What do you want to start with?
Right. You're crazy about singing..
so start there.
What are you waiting for?
I forgot, you need to be
tipped first right?
I wish I were dead today, anyway.
Let's die together.
Do you think you'll scare us this way?
What are you doing?
Can't you see?
So you'll set a fire?
Go ahead. Do it!
Where do you think you're going?
We're going to die together.
- Move aside.
- I'm not kidding.
- Are you nuts?
- I'm not new to being burnt.
Want to see my burn marks?
- Get out of my way!
- You are not going anywhere!
Yon-soo.
Phone.
No handphones allowed while working
so you use a business phone?
I'm sorry.
Hello.
What can I do for you, sir?
Sir?
What?
Fire?
Taxi!
Taxi!
Sena.
Where's Sena?
Don't worry, she's fine.
- Where is she?
- Check back there somewhere.
She must be hiding.
Sena.
Are you okay?
- Min-ji.
- Brother!
That crazy wench started the fire.
Because of her
I almost died...
- I said it was an accident!
- You said you wanted us to die!
Can't you take a joke?
Can't you take a joke?
Can't you tell what's a joke
and what's real?
Joke? That was no joke.
You deliberately set fire!
I work here.
I'd get in trouble if I did.
So, why would I set the fire?
- You think I'm crazy?
- You are!
Hey, even if you don't like me
you shouldn't make up a story
and frame me.
Why did you provoke me in
the first place, wench?
You're responsible for the fire
as well.
Hey, that doesn't make sense.
Why are you always interfering?
I'm Sena's elder sister.
Elder sister?
That explains why
you two are so alike.
You! Shut up!
- Min-ji, let's go.
- Brother!
You are in a sweat.
- I said to go.
- No, I can't.
Listen to me!
Consider yourself
very lucky tonight.
You can go now.
The show's over.
My shop..
My shop!
What will I do now?!
My room...
Get out.
How can you come back here?
Get out! Get out!
Why are you doing this?
I'm glad you're here.
That girl...
You asked me to let her
go before, right?
Bring the money and take her away.
Just pay me the money...
Why are you asking her for money?
I told you she has
nothing to do with me.
You're trying to push your luck?
Do you want to serve some
prison time?
Prison? You think I'm afraid?
I am not afraid to go to prison!
Arson will get you behind bars
for some time.
You could even be on trial
as a murderer.
Do you think I care?
Do whatever you want with me,
I'm not afraid.
You want me to call the cops myself?
Give it to me.
Please, sir...
Let me report her.
Go ahead. Go ahead and report!
- Keep quiet!
- Go ahead!
This girl!
She needs to be taught a lesson.
Mister, please do me a favor.
You don't have anything to say to me?
Director..
I understand what
you must think of my sister...
I don't know if it's fate or what.
But the girl who never ceases
to shock me is your sister.
But my Sena..
She's not a bad person.
If you get to know her,
she's very kind and soft-hearted.
Really?
She seems very crude
and temperamental.
I have nothing to say to you.
It wasn't easy to get your
promise to see her...
Do you know we're alike in some ways?
We're blind.
We have sisters
others point fingers at,
but we feel
only compassion and love for them.
From now on,
don't ask for favors from me.
But let's make a deal.
What can she do for me?
Hello.
I am Victory's future artist, Kim Sena.
To become a singer,
I'm willing to undergo any hardships.
As of today, I'm born again,
and the Sena of yesterday is gone.
