Beautiful Days (2001–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

Let's make a deal.

Your sister gets a shot
at becoming a singer.

In exchange...

teach my sister
as a live-in tutor.

Your sister?

How can I...

I'm not talking about just tutoring.

If that were the case,

I'd have looked for a professional.

What I want is,

for someone to move in with us,



and to be there for Min-ji, 24 hours.

It must be someone with a reason
other than money.

That's why I asked to
make a deal with you.

Since this concerns both
our sisters' future,

I believe we will both
do our best.

Give it some thought.

As of now, there's probably
no better solution.

Let's eat.

Thanks to your outrageous sister,
you must be starving.

Can I ask you something?

Why don't you wear
the coat I gave you?

You'll look pretty in it.

It doesn't have a tag
saying I gave it to you.

Don't tell me its because of your pride.



- Have you really had dinner?
- Yes...

- With Sena?
- Yes.

I'm so relieved that Sena's okay.

I couldn't contact you,
so I got very worried.

You know, I've always had
my meals on time since young.

But today, I waited for you till this late.

I'm sorry.

I'm probably too hungry,
the food tastes wonderful!

What are you doing?

- Have you found a room?
- No.

Why are you staring at your savings book?

Something came up. I need the money.

It's Sena again, isn't it?
What happened?

Don't worry about it
I'll take care of it.

How can I not care?

I know how hard you worked
to save that money.

- It wasn't all that bad.
- Not all that bad?

Don't you remember
when you were burning up

and I insisted you go to the hospital,
but you refused.

I was so disgusted
at your stubbornness

I called you a money ghost

and you responded,

"So what if I am?

I shed blood, sweat and tears for this!"
Do you remember?

No way!
Give me that.

Na-rae.

With this money, you can
study abroad and change your life!

Stop being so stubborn
and think of your own future.

I know!
It's hard for me too.

I just want to ignore it all and
run away with this money.

Run away then!
Go fulfill your dreams!

I can run away from Sena but...

I won't be able to live with my conscience.

When I first started to save money,

I only had one intention.

I just wanted to take care of Sena.

That's why I started to save up.

But if I run away now,

I'll be forever haunted by my conscience.

If I knew things would turn out this way,

I should've been
more generous with you.

- Don't you think so?
- It's okay, you fool!

- Stop it!
- Why?

Hello.

Just leave
I'm in no mood to talk to anyone.

This is all I can afford right now.

If it's not enough, I'll pay you back
later after I make more money.

Still...

What's going on?

Answer me!

Can't you see?
Your sister brought money.

I said I'd pay you back!

- Give it!
- Watch it, you'll rip the check!

How will you pay me back?

It's all because of you
that this place is like this.

With that obnoxious attitude of yours,

you can't make money here.

If you take this money,

it's over between us, okay?

Even if I don't take it,
our relationship is over.

Haven't you got that
through your head yet?

Just turn me in.
I said just turn me in!

Watch out.
You're going to rip it!

Please go, and take her with you.

Sena!

Just leave her alone. She has
nowhere else to go, anyway.

Do you have someone that
you don't want to face,

when you're down and out?

I do.

But when she comes,
I always seem to be down and out.

I want to become stronger
so I can forgive her.

But I feel sad that I'm not able to do so.

Today, before that person,
I'm alone again.

I'm always alone

because people won't stay around
those who have nothing to give.

If I were a person with a lot to give,

you would have answered
my mail by now.

"You've got mail."

Are you still depressed
about the audition?

I know you're a strong person,

so put the past behind you
and be strong.

Your mail gives me strength too.
From Zero.

You look like you haven't
eaten for four days.

Not quite four, but maybe two.

Did you really?
Why?

Because I didn't have money.

Is something wrong?

What are you doing?

You said you have a lot of money.

Wow, what a liar!

Good thing you have a credit card.

If you didn't have this

we would have to
make a run for it.

You called me bacause you had no money?

Consider yourself lucky...

I know quite a few
guys who are loaded,

not everyone gets a chance
to buy me lunch.

Did you just run away from home?

Yes, I guess so...
if you can call that a home.

For someone born without a home,

running away from
anywhere is no big deal.

I'm an orphan.
Haven't I told you?

Is this the first time you met an orphan?

No.

When I was little, I visited
an orphanage with my dad once.

So you're not only rich,
you're kind too.

- I was about eleven...
- Wait, hold on.

Hello, this is Kim Sena.

Victory?

Give me a little time.

After I make it big,

I'll pay you back for all this.

Not every singer makes it big.

I know I'll make it.

If not, why would Victory pick me?

Let's go to the bank.

It's my first day of work tomorrow.
I can't show up without money.

Why?
You think I can't pay you back?

Do you want collateral?

Do you have one?

Looks like only your
necklace is worth something.

I was just joking.

Take it.

It's just a joke.

I don't need collateral from you.

Its okay.
Just take this as collateral.

I wanted to discard it for a while already

but it didn't feel right
just dumping it somewhere.

Good. Now I can get rid of it.

At last, a window
of opportunity has opened.

I'm going to make sure
it never closes.

Sena!

Sena!

Sena!

Hey!

Sena!

Sena!

Stop!

Thanks for today.
I'll definitely pay you back.

Where are you going to stay?

Here. This place will do.

This place looks okay.

Don't you have friends
you can stay with?

Good night!

Wait!

You don't have ulterior motives, do you?

Se...

Look, there's Sena!

No, she isn't. I thought
it was, but I was mistaken.

Really? I guess I'm seeing things,
because I'm too worried.

Let's go.

- You're leaving already?
- Yes. Goodnight.

Where is Room 203?

Honey, we're almost there.

Hurry up. Come on.

Come over here.

Hurry up.

I'll stay for just a little while.

Will you be okay here by yourself?

Make sure you lock the door.

Oh, and if anything happens,
call me.

Oppa, you're a really nice guy.

Congratulations, on becoming
part of the Victory family.

I'm Lee Min-Chul,
program director here.

Hello, I'm Ha Ki-Chul.

This is Min Kyu-suk.

We will manage
your schedules and events.

For upcoming schedules
and musical productions,

please discuss with me.

Nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm Min Kyu-Suk.

I'm your bodyguard and chauffeur.

Hence, the more popular you become,

the more time
you'll spend with me.

So if anyone here wants
to see me often, make it big!

Now, please introduce yourselves.

Hi there, I'm Hwang Kum-suk.

I'm a good friend of the
program director's sister.

I hope to get along well with everyone.
Let me start with a song.

Give it back
Before I meet you

Too hard to ignore it

I wish

Just a minute...

Hello. I'm Victory's future
stellar talent, Kim Sena.

Thank you.

Hello. I'm Victory's future
artiste, Kim Sena.

Thank you.

Hello. I'm Victory's future artiste,
Kim Sena.

Thank you.

Hello.

Let's get something perfectly clear.

Your being here doesn't mean
you'll make it as a singer.

You've only been given
a small chance.

Whether you really become a singer

depends on the effort you put in,
starting now.

As you all know,

Victory doesn't produce albums
when success is not assured.

Out of everyone here,

the first person to show me
your full potential,

will most likely be the first
to cut an album.

Victory is not just a music company,

it's a place where you'll realize
your hopes and dreams for the future.

When you go back today,

think of your aspirations

and how you'll realize them.

How can you be late
on your first day?

Punctuality is of utmost importance
for a singer.

I'm very sorry.

It won't happen again.

I'm really sorry.

What are you waiting for?
Introduce yourself.

Hello. I'm Victory's future artiste,
Kim Sena.

To become a singer,

I'm willing to undergo any hardship.

As of today, I'm born again.
The Sena of yesterday is gone.

- Carry on.
- Yes.

Please follow us out.

Thank you.

Hey! What are you doing here?

I should be asking you that question.

Didn't you fail the audition?

Victory realized that they were about
to miss out on a big star.

Yeah right!

If Min-ji were to find out,
you'd be out of here in seconds!

Do as you wish, but I'm staying
no matter what!

Why you...!

I'm going to kill you.

- Hello, sir.
- How are you doing?

This song is going to be a hit.

It's a masterpiece.

Let me introduce you all
to Mr. Oh Jung-hun, the composer.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.
Look here...

Hello.

As of today,

Mr. Oh will be in charge
of all your compositions.

Hello, everyone.
I'm very pleased to meet you.

Frankly speaking, there are so many
people waiting for my attention

it'll be rather difficult

to spend time with you.

However, with the hope of finding
Victory's next generation of singers,

I'll devote my effort
and time to you.

Good job, everyone.

Hello.

These are our new recruits.

Oh really?
Why don't we practice together?

Is that okay?

I just have one thing to say.

The music business
is a combat zone.

This battle can't be won easily.

- Be aware of that.
- Yes, sir.

- All right, you're excused.
- Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Good afternoon, President Lee.

I've always wanted to visit you.

Me?

Yes. I wanted to thank you
for giving me a chance

and also for the affection
you provided me when I was young.

Remember Blessed Home Orphanage?

Yes, I do.

I grew up there.

Because of your generosity,
Christmas was always warm,

and I could dream of
becoming a singer.

And you saved my life.

I saved your life?

Yes.
When I was scalded with hot water,

you were the one who
took me to the hospital

and paid my bills.

- You're that little girl?
- Yes, sir.

Time sure flies.
You were just a little girl.

I've always wanted to

pay you a visit to thank you

but it's only now I am able to do so.
I'm sorry.

That little girl has grown up,

and now you want to be
an artiste for Victory?

Yes, sir.

What a coincidence.

Strive to do your best

I'll be on the side watching you.

Thank you.

I'll do my best so as to
repay your generosity.

Thank you so much.

Hey, Sena! Everyone else
has gone down already.

What took you so long?

Well ... I was...

Just now, there were too many people,

so I couldn't tell you this but I'm
exceptionally glad that I met you.

It makes me wonder
if this is just a dream.

I had a feeling
I'd meet you sooner or later.

Never once have I been wrong
when it comes to girls.

- Huh?
- Nothing, let's go.

Kim Yon-soo!
What are you doing?

Can't you see
there's a customer waiting?

I'm sorry.

I really can't understand.
I try so hard to train you,

but it seems nothing
gets through your skull.

How did you get into college?

That's 3000 won.

Thank you.

"A minute of a customer's time
can't be exchanged,

not even with twenty-four hours."

Repeat after me.

It's okay.
I didn't even wait that long.

No, no.

This isn't the first it's happened.
If I just let it go this time,

it is bound to happen again,
affecting other customers.

You don't have to go this far...

You should keep your pride
as a customer.

Thank you!

Yon-soo.
Why didn't you repeat after me?

Were you confronting me
in front of a customer?

I'm sorry.

Don't just say "sorry",
follow my orders!

Repeat the line. Hurry up!
"A minute of a customer's time..."

- "A minute of a custo..."
- Louder!

- "A minute of a custo..."
- Louder!

- "A minute of..."
- Say it clearly!

Why did you stop?

Hello, Ki-chul!

These are the new trainee singers.

I'm giving them a tour of the store

but I guess this isn't a good time.

Oh, her... She's new and a little slow.
I'm teaching her.

- Hello.
- Hi.

I'm the team captain here,
in charge of operations.

This store is the showcase
for Victory Records.

I hope that under the guidance of Ki-chul,

and with everyone's hard work,

you'll succeed and
bring glory to the company.

I'm sure all of you will succeed.

May all of you sparkle like the stars.
Good luck!

You look so familiar.

- Me?
- Yes, that's right.

I often come here to buy CDs.

Really?

- Team Captain!
- What?

There is a problem with
on-line orders.

I swear nothing gets done without me.

Sorry, please excuse me.

No problem. Go right ahead.

Okay, folks!
This is it for today.

Tomorrow, make sure
you show up before noon.

It'll be hard work from tomorrow,

so get a good rest.

- Okay, good-bye!
- See you tomorrow.

Wait, Sena.

It's nothing special.
I just want to give you my CD.

Where is it?

Those jerks swapped CD places
without informing me.

I think it's on the other side.

- Can you ring this up, please?
- Sure, just a moment.

What are you doing?
Let's go.

Let's get a move on!

Sena!

Sena, come here.

Let go!

Do you know how worried
Yon-soo is?

- Let go.
- Just be quiet, and follow me.

What do you think you're doing?

Mind your own business.

But, you're dragging a person

like a dog on the street.

I'm doing this for a reason,
so move! Come here!

What kind of girl are you...

- Are you a bully?
- What?

Take your hands off

- No!
- Let go!

- No!
- Let go!

Why, this woman...!

You know what?
Just leave.

- Will you be okay?
- Yes.

Follow me!

Yon-soo, I got Sena.

I'll be over at the plaza.

Follow me!

Boy, she is one strong woman.

Yon-soo!
Over here.

Don't you dare think
about running away.

I'll be by the door.

- Have a seat.
- It's alright.

I'm worried because
I thought you were missing.

I am fine.
You'd be happy if I were missing.

- Where are you staying now?
- None of your business.

Sena, move in to our place.

If you don't want to live
with me then I'll leave.

I got a job as a tutor so I'm thinking
of moving into their house.

You are really something. Still
managing to take care of yourself first.

That's more like the Kim Yon-soo I know.

I have something to tell you too.

As you know by now,
I'm training at Victory.

I'm so glad.

Honestly, I've no clue what that
program director has in mind for me.

Maybe he wants to get back
at me for what I did to his sister.

- I'm sure that's not the case.
- Nevertheless...

I am determined to endure everything.

I'm going to do my best.

I'll show them what I got.

You can do it.
Try your best.

But one thing does bother me.

You bother me.

I'll be going in and out of Victory,

and I'll run into you.

I'm going to want to quit
everything if I see you often.

I'm sure you wouldn't
want that to happen.

You'll want my dream to be fulfilled, right?

If you really want what's best for me,

pretend you don't know me
when you see me.

Keep away, so I can
concentrate on singing.

Get out of my way, okay?

- Okay, I'll do that.
- Thanks.

- Wait!
- What now?

I'll do whatever you say.

Just move back in
and live with Narae.

No, it's okay.
Starting now, we're ending all ties.

So you'll stay at the motel?

Never mind whether I live
at a motel or a hotel.

Also, I'll pay you back the money

you gave that bar owner,

once I make some money.

So, just mind your own business.

Do you hear me?

Sena! Sena!

She's staying at a motel?

So, it was the one
we saw last night, right?

Were you looking for me?

Yes, I wanted to thank you

for taking in my sister.
Thank you.

So when are you carrying
out your part of the deal?

I will move in to your place tomorrow.

Good.

But, can I ask for one other thing?

Can you keep this a secret
from Sena?

She has a lot of pride,

so she'd probably pull out

if she knew I was involved.

- Okay.
- Good-bye.

See you tomorrow.

Take this.

I have a cell phone already.

This is only for answering my calls.

I'll see you later.

Carry it, always.

- What? Where are you going?
- I'm sorry. It just happened that way.

You only tell me now,

when you're leaving tomorrow?

I only decided today.

I should have known when you
said you were going to buy me a drink.

Why should you buy me a drink?

Do you think I won't feel
the pain after drinks?

No!
You can't move into that household.

- Why?
- What do you mean, "Why?"

Don't you know
how that girl Min-ji is?

She'll make your life miserable.

You're dead meat.

- I doubt it.
- It's nothing to smile about.

She's probably
not as bad as she appears.

Let's toast.

Cheers!

What's there to toast to?

Who says there's nothing?

To Sena joining Victory,

to my getting this job,

and to you not having to deal
with my nagging all the time.

It's all cause for celebration.

Yes, its so exciting.

Hey, take it easy.

No. I'm going to drink this
down and make you feel bad.

Thank you. I don't know what
I'd have done without you.

It's okay.
You just take care of yourself.

Make sure you take care of
yourself too.

Don't forget to eat properly and always
remember to wash before you sleep,

no matter how lazy you feel.

If someone were to hear us,

they'd think we're husband and wife.

And, please
take good care of Sena.

Don't even worry about her.

I'll make sure she moves in
and I'll discipline her.

Thank you for everything.

Yon-soo this is the last shot.
Let's tank it without a break.

Hello?

Hello?

Where are you?

I'm on the bus.

Do you need me to pick you up?

I can find my way there.

- Okay then. Take care of yourself.
- Yes.

Umbrellas for sale!

Wait up!

Thanks.

Wait.

Thanks.

Is there a pharmacy around here?

Yes. Its up this way.
I'm going this way too.

This is the place.

Thank you.

Here?

Yes.

This is where I live.

- Director Lee!
- Brother!

So, you found your way here.
This is Min-ji's governess.

Meet my mother.

How do you do?

You are Min-ji's governess?

- Please take a seat.
- Yes.

How do you do?

Take a seat.

I'm home.

Sun-jae, join us here.
Come and meet Min-ji's governess.

Your name...?

I'm Kim Yon-soo.

Frankly, I don't think you'll
make much difference.

I objected to hiring you.

I know my children well

She won't change just because
she has a governess around.

Honey...

I don't place much faith
in the impossible.

I always knew she
wouldn't amount to much.

Just keep an eye on her at all times

and make sure she doesn't
cause any trouble.

You are prejudicing
Miss Kim against her.

She has to know about this.

None of us can control that brat.

Do you think a governess can
perform a miracle and reform her?

If someone showed her some genuine
concern, I'm sure she would change.

Oh dear! I haven't even
offered you a drink.

I'm going upstairs.

Take Miss Kim's
luggage with you.

Yes.

May I have a word with you?

This is Min-ji's room.
You can go on in.

- Must you do this?
- What do you mean?

By hiring an extra person to do this,
you make Mum redundant.

Have you ever considered
Mum's feelings?

If Mother cared about Min-ji,
she would understand.

Be nice to Yon-soo.
She's still new here.

Get some rest.

This is a good painting.

You think so?
She's artistically gifted.

I didn't know you had
a younger brother.

Sun-jae?
He's in medical school.

He's younger than you.
Don't mind him.

Yes.

These are all photos
of you and her.

She must like you very much.

I have to tell you a story.

My family is unlike others.
It's complicated.

I think this story will help in
your understanding of Min-ji.

I'm the only one who Min-ji considers
as part of the family.

She lost her mum at six.

Just when she was getting over her
grief, she endured more suffering.

So, that lady I just met...?

She's not our birth mother.

You are a smart girl.

You should know why
I wanted you to move in.

My sister and everything to do
with her, I entrust to your care.

Good night.

Take care. Bye!

Min-ji, remember to talk
to your eldest brother!

Sure!

Why are you here?

I'm sorry. I should have waited
for you to return before coming in.

What are you doing here?

Didn't Director Lee tell you?

Tell me what?

I will be your governess.

What?! Get out! Leave!

You're not leaving?

Brother!

Why are you so late?

Didn't you know your
governess was coming?

That woman in my room
is my governess?

What do you think you're doing?

You let that brat into
the training programme

And you bring her sister home

What do you think you're doing?

Why are you yelling at me?

Sit down.

You know I care for you, right?

I chose her especially for you.

Why her?
What can she do for me?

I don't know, but I'm
sure she can help you.

I trust her.

She can unearth and nurture
the goodness in others.

You may resent it at first

but just bear with it.

But...

Trust me.
