CURTAIN CALL
CURTAIN CALL
This was where I came
for my last trip with Grandma.
Grandma told me...
that she thought
she was the only one waiting.
But after some thought,
she realized...
you and your father
were waiting too.
Waiting for Grandma.
She said she realized it at that moment.
Grandma...
She was...
always sorry...
but always grateful...
to Moon-seong.
To you.
That's all I have to say.
This is it.
Shall we go?
Wait.
I'd like to stay for a bit.
Grandma, we'll meet again.
I'm Ri Moon-seong. Don't forget me.
The child
I never expected to see before I died
came to me.
He's right around your age.
I was so glad to see that his heart
is so pure and upright.
Wherever he wishes to go from here,
he will choose the right path.
I have faith in that now.
FINAL EPISODE
Did it go well?
Yeah.
-What did he say?
-You saw him.
He doesn't talk much.
What do you think will happen?
I don't know.
I said everything I needed to.
The rest...
is up to him.
That's good.
Why would a man of a filthy-rich family
eat ramen?
Goodness, you punk.
You rubbing it in my face?
So, where have you been?
I went to see Grandma,
or something like that.
What? Wait. So what happened?
Hey, finish what you were saying.
You're killing me here.
Just eat up.
You... Damn it.
Fine. Eat, then. Eat, you punk.
Geez.
Because you're my cousin?
-Is that why?
-Go again.
-She's the general manager. Be fiercer.
-Oh, okay.
One, two...
-What gives you the right?
-Come here.
Imagine he's Jae-heon. One, two...
Give me more emotion.
Be more candid and honest, okay?
Right, let's wrap up for today.
Good work, everyone.
-Thank you.
-Good work.
Tomorrow. I'll see you here tomorrow.
Practice anything
you're having trouble with.
Jae-heon, I'll see you.
-Oh, hey. See you.
-Bye.
-Yeah, I'll go ahead.
-Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Jae-heon.
You think we can do this?
Too much time has passed
since the original performance date.
We only have a few days left
at this theater.
Don't worry. I'll apply for an extension.
The cast members too...
They're asking if they'll ever perform,
saying their contract will end
before then.
Doesn't matter how much longer it takes.
If it goes beyond their contract dates,
I'll pay what they're due,
so just tell them to wait.
Hey, you tell them. Tell them to wait.
-But realistically speaking...
-By God, we're doing this!
Tell them we will perform!
We're doing this!
I'll pay whatever it costs!
So just go and tell them to wait.
Jae-heon.
Sorry.
This is the only thing I can show you.
You'll come see it, won't you?
You can come, yeah?
I will...
for sure...
Grandma.
Grandma?
Grandma, wait! Grandma!
Grandma!
Oh, no. Grandma!
Here.
They usually have better stuff here.
It just so happens
that they don't have it today.
Anyway, this was the most expensive bottle
they have right now, so try it.
There.
Cheers.
Okay.
How is it? Good, huh?
-Is it so important that it's expensive?
-Of course.
Very important, indeed.
Is that all?
Is what all?
What you want from me.
What would I want from you?
Right?
I have one.
Cheers.
Oh, thank you.
You seem to be in your element.
Who's this guy?
You got what you deserved,
and you dare to ghost me again?
Drink up.
-Hey! You're dead!
-Wait!
Come here right now!
Hey! Let me go! Hey!
You, come over here.
I said, come here! Hey!
Hey, let me go! You idiots!
Let me go! Hey!
What's up with that broad?
She's a mystery to me too.
I don't know who she is.
I can't remember her.
I want to know so badly,
but I just can't remember her.
I don't know who she is.
You're a playboy, aren't you?
I'd rather not be called a playboy.
Call me a romantic.
A romantic, huh?
You?
Are you married?
Well...
"Well"? Is that all?
Is it a painful story?
Okay. Okay.
Tell me if you need my help.
I'll try to help.
Hey, you doubt me?
I mean it.
I'll help you.
I don't usually do this, but...
Promise.
Take it while I offer.
I don't do this often.
Take the promise while I offer it.
Promise.
Hey! Shit, where'd they go?
Promise me this.
Promise to protect me.
Okay? Promise. Let's go.
Yes, it's me.
Chairwoman.
Let's go.
Grandma's awake?
Se-yeon,
we're heading home.
I'll take her there,
so you alert the family.
She just regained consciousness.
Is it okay for her to move about so soon?
Don't worry about that.
Please just come home.
Sang-cheol.
Yes, Chairwoman?
You did well for all these years.
No need for such words...
You did very well.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Jae-heon.
Let's do this.
-Really?
-Yes.
Okay, everyone!
Let's do this.
Our first and last performance!
Our last play!
This is it, okay?
-Okay!
-Okay!
-Okay! Let's go!
-Okay, let's prepare!
Okay!
One last chance! One night's performance!
Se-gyu, today's the day.
Okay, let's go, let's go!
WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU
THAT RI YEONG-HOON
HAS DIED IN HAMHUNG
ON MARCH 16, 2003.
When I read about you
on this piece of paper...
how do you think I felt?
He had become a fine young man.
I'm so relieved to have met Moon-seong
before I passed.
It's such a relief.
Let us...
meet up...
soon...
Yeong-hoon.
Is Grandma inside?
Yes, she is.
May I go in?
As you wish.
Go in.
-How is she?
-She'll be out soon.
Se-yeon, she's speaking with Moon-seong.
Let's give her a little more time.
Say anything you wish to say.
I'll be fine.
Say what's on your mind.
It's okay.
I...
resented you.
Our promise to meet again...
Do you remember it?
Waiting for an impossible promise
to come true...
was agonizing.
That's why I spoke so crudely.
I'm sorry.
Father...
actually missed you.
He wanted to come here,
and he tried...
but he couldn't.
That's the truth.
Grandma,
say anything you wish to say.
Moon-seong,
I...
I'm so grateful
that you came to me.
I missed you so much.
Let's go.
They're waiting for us.
Once you get to this age,
you learn things you don't want to know.
I don't have much time left.
I won't keep you waiting.
So listen carefully.
Se-jun.
I love you.
Se-gyu, that rascal.
Where is he at this time of day?
That immature boy.
Even so, Se-gyu...
I love him too.
Se-yeon.
Yes, Grandma?
I love you.
I love you too, Grandma.
Ji-won.
Yes?
Thank you.
Jeong-suk.
Yes, Chairwoman.
Thank you.
I've had a lot of time to think...
but I'm unsure
what else there is to say.
Lastly, there's a place I have to go.
Let's all go
together.
Go Jeong-tae, Go Jeong-tae,
you're already surrounded.
We will shoot If you don't surrender.
I repeat.
Go Jeong-tae, you're surrounded.
-How dare you betray me!
-No.
It wasn't me. I didn't report you.
Who else is here besides you?
You said he was from the North...
-Democratic People's... Republic of Korea!
-Don't!
Out of my way!
You sons of bitches!
I hope there's no such thing...
as the DMZ in the afterlife.
If...
we meet up there,
let's...
have a drink together.
Excuse me.
Anyone here?
Hello.
Hello.
I enjoyed your play.
Your North Korean accent is good too.
Oh, yeah. Thank you.
"Jeong Sang-cheol."
Want to participate in a play with me
on a large and beautiful stage,
which will change lives?
Mr. Jeong, Mr. Jeong!
Look.
This is the actress I mentioned before.
She can play Ri Moon-seong's wife.
I am Jang Jin-suk.
So she will play your wife?
Yes, indeed.
Listen carefully.
You need to learn
basic character profiles.
First,
her eldest grandson, Park Se-jun.
If anyone in this family suspects you,
he will be the first.
The dangerous dude.
And her second grandson,
Park Se-gyu.
He's unpredictable.
He'll be mad just because you showed up.
A typical spoiled rich kid.
The odd one out.
And the youngest granddaughter,
Park Se-yeon.
She seems like a haughty career woman
but is warm and considerate.
The nice one.
I mean, a nice lady.
I'm saying this
because Grandma isn't here.
If I didn't know her situation,
I wouldn't even be here.
What makes family is how much time
we spend together, right?
But Grandma is the only family
I have left.
I just want to do what a grandson should
before she passes.
Grandma, this is so good!
Yeah?
Do you like it?
Grandma...
Yeah, I love it.
Is it the water in South Korea?
I built my hotel by selling this gukbap.
Yeah.
You totally nailed it. Keep it up.
Awesome.
-You broke character, though.
-Right?
-Broke what?
-Your character.
Breaking character.
What do you mean?
Hey, keep the accent.
Isn't that what I'm paying you for?
Sorry. We'll do our best.
You should've gotten
on my back earlier, right?
Your grandpa told me
he would cross the waters
and meet me over here.
When I spent hours looking at the horizon,
it felt as though your grandpa
and your father would arrive on a boat.
I always imagined them standing
at the bow of the boat
as the sun set quickly.
Should we run?
We just have to walk out that door.
You return to being Yoo Jae-heon,
and me, Seo Yoon-hee.
No.
I want...
to do it right until the end.
I want Grandma...
to pass with these memories
we build together.
Grandma, let's go up there.
Chairwoman...
You've done well.
Now I'll begin the reading
of Chairwoman Ja Geum-sun's will.
"I leave 10% of all assets
to Jeong Sang-cheol and Yoon Jeong-suk.
The rest shall be divided equally
among the following descendants:
Park Se-jun. Park Se-gyu, Park Se-yeon,
Ri Moon-seong."
The content of the will is simple,
but there is one stipulation.
"Until Ri Moon-seong becomes a citizen
of the Republic of Korea,
his assets shall be entrusted
to Jeong Sang-cheol."
This trust has already been created
between the related parties:
Chairwoman Ja Geum-sun, the grantor,
and Jeong Sang-cheol, the trustee.
Please keep this in mind.
There are too many difficult terms.
What is he talking about?
As the attorney said,
as the trustee,
I am entrusted
with Ri Moon-seong's assets.
Also, until Ri Moon-seong becomes
a South Korean citizen,
he cannot receive his inheritance.
But I can't touch those assets either.
The hotel shares will not be sold.
You are only to inherit what you're given.
I'm letting you know in advance.
I understand perfectly now.
I guess I'll remain the second-born
of the Nakwon Hotel.
I believe so.
I found out why Se-jun despises Nakwon,
so I've chosen not to intervene.
Se-jun hates Nakwon
as much as you love it.
Hating something and loving something
is like going from this life to the next.
It's only one step away.
Whoever has more conviction
in their heart...
will determine the outcome.
Grandma...
Order up!
Got it!
Right.
Our newbie Se-gyu is buying today!
All right. Let's eat, eat.
Se-gyu, what's the matter?
Did something happen?
This is a bit different than I imagined.
That's all.
Se-gyu, compared to my newbie days,
you're free riding. Really.
Okay, I get it.
But it's practice, home, practice, home.
That's stressful.
Let me ask, since I don't know:
Do theater groups usually have more guys?
I'm just saying.
Yoon-hee, I might be unable
to accompany you to the airport.
What do you mean? You never accompany me.
I'm sure I have once.
Whatever. I'll be fine on my own.
That's right. That's my daughter.
Do you have a new case?
What about the last one?
Don't even.
Nakwon's inheritance problem
botched the M&A deal.
And it was such a high-profile case...
Oh, it's so upsetting.
Ji-won! Ms. Yoon!
-Hey!
-Hey, Yoon-hee!
-I heard you're going to the US.
-How are you?
We must have a chat.
Of course. Is this the place?
The dessert here is really good.
It has 4.9 stars.
Ms. Yoon.
You know I've retired.
I saved all the hot spots on my phone.
I'm visiting them all.
-Let's go in.
-Okay.
I'm glad you like the food.
Want to pour me a shot?
When I first heard I had a younger cousin...
you wouldn't believe how glad I was.
I was always the youngest, you know.
Living my whole life
with my older brothers.
I hope... you continue to live here.
I realized this too,
through recent events,
that the time you spend together...
that it's really important.
The fact that we're family won't change.
We're related by blood.
That can't change.
Moon-seong.
Let's spend more time together.
Hey, sit. Hurry and sit down.
Sir, we're all here.
You all here?
Yes.
All right.
I gathered everyone here
because I wanted to tell you
that this will be your new home,
where you'll practice
and perform from here onwards.
So how many days did you rent?
What do you mean, "rent"?
-The theater...
-Oh, okay.
The owner put it up for sale
since it wasn't doing well,
so I just bought it.
For real?
Wait, wait!
Se-gyu, so are we going to perform?
Well, that's what I'm...
What was the play you did before?
-The last time?
-A Stage of Friendship.
-I like the story. It's good.
-Yes.
But if you perform it in a teensy place
and go, "Hey, I'll kill you,"
who's going to come see you?
Let's expand our horizons.
Let's make a proper play
about the Korean War.
That's what I mean.
Director!
Director! Director!
Se-gyu!
You should've come earlier.
Se-gyu, I heard you were stressed,
so I reserved a nice place.
I love the atmosphere here.
Se-yeon loves places like this.
I should have brought her.
How is Se-yeon? Is she well?
-I don't know.
-Se-gyu.
Look at my manners.
If I may introduce myself.
I'm Jae-heon's best friend.
A man who sells trust, not cars.
I'm Park No-hang.
-Stop it.
-You sell trust?
Wow. That's impressive.
Do you know who I am?
Of course. Jae-heon told me all about you.
-You talked about me?
-A little bit.
Call me about anything car-related.
I'd love to help.
-But I have so many cars.
-Hey, hey.
Stop working him. Stop it!
Se-gyu, take a seat.
Sir, there's much to explain about cars,
which I'll do in the future.
-Okay.
-So cars. What are cars?
-Cars are cars.
-Right, an automobile.
Here's a little poem. "Car.
How many do you have? Car..."
WEDDING
Oh, man.
Oh, goodness.
I'm so buzzed.
It's just so fascinating.
I haven't had a drink in so long
that my tolerance has gone down.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were practicing.
Are you just hanging out?
I've been practicing every day.
I drank for the first time this week.
Me, Park Se-gyu.
You having fun?
Well, they say I'm good.
-Who says so?
-Jae-heon.
Hey.
Jae-heon said...
Forget it.
Come on. What is it?
I'll tell you later.
I have a headache right now.
-What's that?
-Wedding invitations.
Wait a minute.
You kept the hotel thanks to Mr. Jeong.
You don't need Dong-jae's shares.
So you don't have to marry him, no?
You're right.
So what are you mulling over?
You going to marry him?
-No.
-Then what?
I want Dong-jae to know.
I guess I'm not following
because I'm not sober.
You guys are so complicated.
Sir, to what do I owe the pleasure
of your gathering us here today?
Ri Moon-seong.
Go back to China.
What are you saying?
You may return
after you put your affairs in order.
Only then will I help you settle here
through due process.
Wait.
Tae-ju.
Help Moon-seong return to China.
What?
Do you know the shit I went through
to get him here?
What if he can't come back?
Do I have to go get him again?
Damn it.
I'll pay what's owed to you.
Gosh. Are you sure about this?
Man, but that punk is a loose cannon.
I'll go.
Thank you in advance.
The next time you return,
I'll be there to welcome you.
Thank you.
One extra chicken up!
Sir, one spicy chicken, please!
Yes, one spicy...
So you're going back to the States?
Yeah.
I guess Grandma
is resting in peace, right?
Of course she is.
Have you met Se-yeon?
That's random.
No. Well...
Not yet.
You're not going to see her?
I should.
But you like her.
What do you mean?
How did you know?
Are you going to keep liking her?
Yeah.
It won't be easy.
I think she thinks of you
as a little brother.
You little...
So I'll approach her like a man.
Still, it won't be easy.
-The hell do you know?
-I know well. Because I like you too.
Me too.
I really like you too.
Yeah, like a precious little sister.
Of course. You're very, very precious.
-Yoon-hee...
-That's why I said I know.
I can totally relate to your situation.
Yoon-hee...
You said it yourself.
You're going to really go for it.
So will I.
You aren't going to stop me, are you?
-No.
-Watch out.
You're going to get kicked to the curb,
and you'll start longing for me.
Even if I'm not kicked to the curb,
I'll be longing for you to return.
Oh, that gaze.
You clearly see me as a little sister.
I hate that look. It's so annoying.
Hey!
Are you sad the M&A didn't happen?
-Of course.
-Do you regret it?
It was Se-yeon who moved
Grandma's heart.
She ended up saving the company,
so she won.
I fought, but lost.
It's simple math to me.
I love that about you.
I love that you accept the outcome
with no strings attached.
So, should we go on a trip?
-A trip?
-How about Europe?
What about Switzerland, honey?
-Let's go.
-What? Really?
-I think I need a break.
-Oh, honey! Thank you!
Oh, my love.
Thank you so much.
What should I prepare first?
Honey, one second.
Next is about upgrading our amenities.
The most important thing
is that the products have to match
the dignity and image of our hotel.
These products satisfy those conditions.
Everything's been tested.
Despite our meticulous demands,
they've confirmed the availability
of the choice products.
The ingredients and packaging
are environmentally friendly.
This works well in connection
with the hotel's identity.
I believe it'll improve
our hotel's image and services.
Good.
What are you doing today?
Let's talk if you're not busy.
Let's go with this, if there's no problem.
There are...
too many problems.
What are you doing?
We've canceled before,
so it's not as hard as before.
Don't worry about my shares.
I'll give them to you.
But since I don't like to be at a loss,
no further negotiations.
What's this about?
Someone told me
that all I want is to correct
my past failures.
I guess I didn't want to admit my faults.
Trying to force things.
Sorry.
For what?
That I couldn't protect you
and your family from my family.
I knew my family disrespected yours,
and I did nothing about it.
I was scared of my family back then.
I was a coward.
I'm sorry.
You finally figured it out, Dong-jae.
It's been a while
since I saw that look on your face.
I'm going to start over.
You know what I mean, right?
See you around.
I heard you broke off your engagement.
Oh, that.
I think I was addicted to the idea of it.
-What does that mean?
-I'm going to start over.
-I'm going to do it right this time.
-And the shares?
I gave them all to Se-yeon.
You feel the cut?
I told you to be careful.
I thought you were wielding the hilt
of the sword,
but I guess you were wielding the blade.
Se-jun.
Is there a reason
you need to sell the hotel?
You must've had a reason at first,
but after running for so long,
I guess you began to focus on the run
and not the reason.
Isn't it so?
Just saying.
You and me,
it seems like we're in similar positions.
I'll go now.
Hope you get famous by the time I return,
Superstar Mr. Yoo.
See you.
When you get back,
I hope I can call you Attorney Seo.
"Oh, it's Attorney Seo."
So I can say that.
See you.
Hey, impostor.
Why are you still here?
-What's this?
-This is my last goodbye.
Yeah? Well, let's hear it.
That was the last goodbye.
Hey, impostor, what's your real name?
Yoo Jae-heon.
Yoo Jae-hyeon or Jae-heon?
Yoo Jae-heon. Heon.
I know you work hard at the theater,
but call me if you need a part-time job.
Yeah, sure.
See you soon.
I'm not so keen on that.
You sure don't change.
Speak for yourself.
See you.
-Where would you like to go?
-The main office.
Se-yeon.
Hey, why are you here?
You busy?
Yeah, a little.
I wanted...
to ask you something.
What is it?
Who am I to you?
Yoo Jae-heon.
What an odd question.
Yeah.
Yoo Jae-heon.
Having said that...
would you like to have dinner with me?
Oh, I love this place.
Se-yeon.
Se-yeon.
This place...
It's my kind of fancy restaurant.
That's so cute!
How did you find this place?
Cheers.
Cheers.
So good!
-Isn't this better than wine?
-It's so good.
I knew it.
I knew you'd love it.
So, they say serious relationships
begin with dinner dates.
Who said that?
I'm just saying.
Did Se-gyu tell you that?
With a heart of longing and love,
Grandma braced through her life.
Now she has left on a picnic
to a faraway place.
Thus ended her final act.
The audience members
took their memories of the play
and parted ways
to find their own happiness.
After removing the mask of my role,
I wanted to face one audience member
as myself.
There is a story I wanted to tell,
not with the voice of Ri Moon-seong
but of Yoo Jae-heon.
Not to my character's cousin,
but to Park Se-yeon.
To you.
CURTAIN CALL
This was where I came
for my last trip with Grandma.
Grandma told me...
that she thought
she was the only one waiting.
But after some thought,
she realized...
you and your father
were waiting too.
Waiting for Grandma.
She said she realized it at that moment.
Grandma...
She was...
always sorry...
but always grateful...
to Moon-seong.
To you.
That's all I have to say.
This is it.
Shall we go?
Wait.
I'd like to stay for a bit.
Grandma, we'll meet again.
I'm Ri Moon-seong. Don't forget me.
The child
I never expected to see before I died
came to me.
He's right around your age.
I was so glad to see that his heart
is so pure and upright.
Wherever he wishes to go from here,
he will choose the right path.
I have faith in that now.
FINAL EPISODE
Did it go well?
Yeah.
-What did he say?
-You saw him.
He doesn't talk much.
What do you think will happen?
I don't know.
I said everything I needed to.
The rest...
is up to him.
That's good.
Why would a man of a filthy-rich family
eat ramen?
Goodness, you punk.
You rubbing it in my face?
So, where have you been?
I went to see Grandma,
or something like that.
What? Wait. So what happened?
Hey, finish what you were saying.
You're killing me here.
Just eat up.
You... Damn it.
Fine. Eat, then. Eat, you punk.
Geez.
Because you're my cousin?
-Is that why?
-Go again.
-She's the general manager. Be fiercer.
-Oh, okay.
One, two...
-What gives you the right?
-Come here.
Imagine he's Jae-heon. One, two...
Give me more emotion.
Be more candid and honest, okay?
Right, let's wrap up for today.
Good work, everyone.
-Thank you.
-Good work.
Tomorrow. I'll see you here tomorrow.
Practice anything
you're having trouble with.
Jae-heon, I'll see you.
-Oh, hey. See you.
-Bye.
-Yeah, I'll go ahead.
-Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Jae-heon.
You think we can do this?
Too much time has passed
since the original performance date.
We only have a few days left
at this theater.
Don't worry. I'll apply for an extension.
The cast members too...
They're asking if they'll ever perform,
saying their contract will end
before then.
Doesn't matter how much longer it takes.
If it goes beyond their contract dates,
I'll pay what they're due,
so just tell them to wait.
Hey, you tell them. Tell them to wait.
-But realistically speaking...
-By God, we're doing this!
Tell them we will perform!
We're doing this!
I'll pay whatever it costs!
So just go and tell them to wait.
Jae-heon.
Sorry.
This is the only thing I can show you.
You'll come see it, won't you?
You can come, yeah?
I will...
for sure...
Grandma.
Grandma?
Grandma, wait! Grandma!
Grandma!
Oh, no. Grandma!
Here.
They usually have better stuff here.
It just so happens
that they don't have it today.
Anyway, this was the most expensive bottle
they have right now, so try it.
There.
Cheers.
Okay.
How is it? Good, huh?
-Is it so important that it's expensive?
-Of course.
Very important, indeed.
Is that all?
Is what all?
What you want from me.
What would I want from you?
Right?
I have one.
Cheers.
Oh, thank you.
You seem to be in your element.
Who's this guy?
You got what you deserved,
and you dare to ghost me again?
Drink up.
-Hey! You're dead!
-Wait!
Come here right now!
Hey! Let me go! Hey!
You, come over here.
I said, come here! Hey!
Hey, let me go! You idiots!
Let me go! Hey!
What's up with that broad?
She's a mystery to me too.
I don't know who she is.
I can't remember her.
I want to know so badly,
but I just can't remember her.
I don't know who she is.
You're a playboy, aren't you?
I'd rather not be called a playboy.
Call me a romantic.
A romantic, huh?
You?
Are you married?
Well...
"Well"? Is that all?
Is it a painful story?
Okay. Okay.
Tell me if you need my help.
I'll try to help.
Hey, you doubt me?
I mean it.
I'll help you.
I don't usually do this, but...
Promise.
Take it while I offer.
I don't do this often.
Take the promise while I offer it.
Promise.
Hey! Shit, where'd they go?
Promise me this.
Promise to protect me.
Okay? Promise. Let's go.
Yes, it's me.
Chairwoman.
Let's go.
Grandma's awake?
Se-yeon,
we're heading home.
I'll take her there,
so you alert the family.
She just regained consciousness.
Is it okay for her to move about so soon?
Don't worry about that.
Please just come home.
Sang-cheol.
Yes, Chairwoman?
You did well for all these years.
No need for such words...
You did very well.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Jae-heon.
Let's do this.
-Really?
-Yes.
Okay, everyone!
Let's do this.
Our first and last performance!
Our last play!
This is it, okay?
-Okay!
-Okay!
-Okay! Let's go!
-Okay, let's prepare!
Okay!
One last chance! One night's performance!
Se-gyu, today's the day.
Okay, let's go, let's go!
WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU
THAT RI YEONG-HOON
HAS DIED IN HAMHUNG
ON MARCH 16, 2003.
When I read about you
on this piece of paper...
how do you think I felt?
He had become a fine young man.
I'm so relieved to have met Moon-seong
before I passed.
It's such a relief.
Let us...
meet up...
soon...
Yeong-hoon.
Is Grandma inside?
Yes, she is.
May I go in?
As you wish.
Go in.
-How is she?
-She'll be out soon.
Se-yeon, she's speaking with Moon-seong.
Let's give her a little more time.
Say anything you wish to say.
I'll be fine.
Say what's on your mind.
It's okay.
I...
resented you.
Our promise to meet again...
Do you remember it?
Waiting for an impossible promise
to come true...
was agonizing.
That's why I spoke so crudely.
I'm sorry.
Father...
actually missed you.
He wanted to come here,
and he tried...
but he couldn't.
That's the truth.
Grandma,
say anything you wish to say.
Moon-seong,
I...
I'm so grateful
that you came to me.
I missed you so much.
Let's go.
They're waiting for us.
Once you get to this age,
you learn things you don't want to know.
I don't have much time left.
I won't keep you waiting.
So listen carefully.
Se-jun.
I love you.
Se-gyu, that rascal.
Where is he at this time of day?
That immature boy.
Even so, Se-gyu...
I love him too.
Se-yeon.
Yes, Grandma?
I love you.
I love you too, Grandma.
Ji-won.
Yes?
Thank you.
Jeong-suk.
Yes, Chairwoman.
Thank you.
I've had a lot of time to think...
but I'm unsure
what else there is to say.
Lastly, there's a place I have to go.
Let's all go
together.
Go Jeong-tae, Go Jeong-tae,
you're already surrounded.
We will shoot If you don't surrender.
I repeat.
Go Jeong-tae, you're surrounded.
-How dare you betray me!
-No.
It wasn't me. I didn't report you.
Who else is here besides you?
You said he was from the North...
-Democratic People's... Republic of Korea!
-Don't!
Out of my way!
You sons of bitches!
I hope there's no such thing...
as the DMZ in the afterlife.
If...
we meet up there,
let's...
have a drink together.
Excuse me.
Anyone here?
Hello.
Hello.
I enjoyed your play.
Your North Korean accent is good too.
Oh, yeah. Thank you.
"Jeong Sang-cheol."
Want to participate in a play with me
on a large and beautiful stage,
which will change lives?
Mr. Jeong, Mr. Jeong!
Look.
This is the actress I mentioned before.
She can play Ri Moon-seong's wife.
I am Jang Jin-suk.
So she will play your wife?
Yes, indeed.
Listen carefully.
You need to learn
basic character profiles.
First,
her eldest grandson, Park Se-jun.
If anyone in this family suspects you,
he will be the first.
The dangerous dude.
And her second grandson,
Park Se-gyu.
He's unpredictable.
He'll be mad just because you showed up.
A typical spoiled rich kid.
The odd one out.
And the youngest granddaughter,
Park Se-yeon.
She seems like a haughty career woman
but is warm and considerate.
The nice one.
I mean, a nice lady.
I'm saying this
because Grandma isn't here.
If I didn't know her situation,
I wouldn't even be here.
What makes family is how much time
we spend together, right?
But Grandma is the only family
I have left.
I just want to do what a grandson should
before she passes.
Grandma, this is so good!
Yeah?
Do you like it?
Grandma...
Yeah, I love it.
Is it the water in South Korea?
I built my hotel by selling this gukbap.
Yeah.
You totally nailed it. Keep it up.
Awesome.
-You broke character, though.
-Right?
-Broke what?
-Your character.
Breaking character.
What do you mean?
Hey, keep the accent.
Isn't that what I'm paying you for?
Sorry. We'll do our best.
You should've gotten
on my back earlier, right?
Your grandpa told me
he would cross the waters
and meet me over here.
When I spent hours looking at the horizon,
it felt as though your grandpa
and your father would arrive on a boat.
I always imagined them standing
at the bow of the boat
as the sun set quickly.
Should we run?
We just have to walk out that door.
You return to being Yoo Jae-heon,
and me, Seo Yoon-hee.
No.
I want...
to do it right until the end.
I want Grandma...
to pass with these memories
we build together.
Grandma, let's go up there.
Chairwoman...
You've done well.
Now I'll begin the reading
of Chairwoman Ja Geum-sun's will.
"I leave 10% of all assets
to Jeong Sang-cheol and Yoon Jeong-suk.
The rest shall be divided equally
among the following descendants:
Park Se-jun. Park Se-gyu, Park Se-yeon,
Ri Moon-seong."
The content of the will is simple,
but there is one stipulation.
"Until Ri Moon-seong becomes a citizen
of the Republic of Korea,
his assets shall be entrusted
to Jeong Sang-cheol."
This trust has already been created
between the related parties:
Chairwoman Ja Geum-sun, the grantor,
and Jeong Sang-cheol, the trustee.
Please keep this in mind.
There are too many difficult terms.
What is he talking about?
As the attorney said,
as the trustee,
I am entrusted
with Ri Moon-seong's assets.
Also, until Ri Moon-seong becomes
a South Korean citizen,
he cannot receive his inheritance.
But I can't touch those assets either.
The hotel shares will not be sold.
You are only to inherit what you're given.
I'm letting you know in advance.
I understand perfectly now.
I guess I'll remain the second-born
of the Nakwon Hotel.
I believe so.
I found out why Se-jun despises Nakwon,
so I've chosen not to intervene.
Se-jun hates Nakwon
as much as you love it.
Hating something and loving something
is like going from this life to the next.
It's only one step away.
Whoever has more conviction
in their heart...
will determine the outcome.
Grandma...
Order up!
Got it!
Right.
Our newbie Se-gyu is buying today!
All right. Let's eat, eat.
Se-gyu, what's the matter?
Did something happen?
This is a bit different than I imagined.
That's all.
Se-gyu, compared to my newbie days,
you're free riding. Really.
Okay, I get it.
But it's practice, home, practice, home.
That's stressful.
Let me ask, since I don't know:
Do theater groups usually have more guys?
I'm just saying.
Yoon-hee, I might be unable
to accompany you to the airport.
What do you mean? You never accompany me.
I'm sure I have once.
Whatever. I'll be fine on my own.
That's right. That's my daughter.
Do you have a new case?
What about the last one?
Don't even.
Nakwon's inheritance problem
botched the M&A deal.
And it was such a high-profile case...
Oh, it's so upsetting.
Ji-won! Ms. Yoon!
-Hey!
-Hey, Yoon-hee!
-I heard you're going to the US.
-How are you?
We must have a chat.
Of course. Is this the place?
The dessert here is really good.
It has 4.9 stars.
Ms. Yoon.
You know I've retired.
I saved all the hot spots on my phone.
I'm visiting them all.
-Let's go in.
-Okay.
I'm glad you like the food.
Want to pour me a shot?
When I first heard I had a younger cousin...
you wouldn't believe how glad I was.
I was always the youngest, you know.
Living my whole life
with my older brothers.
I hope... you continue to live here.
I realized this too,
through recent events,
that the time you spend together...
that it's really important.
The fact that we're family won't change.
We're related by blood.
That can't change.
Moon-seong.
Let's spend more time together.
Hey, sit. Hurry and sit down.
Sir, we're all here.
You all here?
Yes.
All right.
I gathered everyone here
because I wanted to tell you
that this will be your new home,
where you'll practice
and perform from here onwards.
So how many days did you rent?
What do you mean, "rent"?
-The theater...
-Oh, okay.
The owner put it up for sale
since it wasn't doing well,
so I just bought it.
For real?
Wait, wait!
Se-gyu, so are we going to perform?
Well, that's what I'm...
What was the play you did before?
-The last time?
-A Stage of Friendship.
-I like the story. It's good.
-Yes.
But if you perform it in a teensy place
and go, "Hey, I'll kill you,"
who's going to come see you?
Let's expand our horizons.
Let's make a proper play
about the Korean War.
That's what I mean.
Director!
Director! Director!
Se-gyu!
You should've come earlier.
Se-gyu, I heard you were stressed,
so I reserved a nice place.
I love the atmosphere here.
Se-yeon loves places like this.
I should have brought her.
How is Se-yeon? Is she well?
-I don't know.
-Se-gyu.
Look at my manners.
If I may introduce myself.
I'm Jae-heon's best friend.
A man who sells trust, not cars.
I'm Park No-hang.
-Stop it.
-You sell trust?
Wow. That's impressive.
Do you know who I am?
Of course. Jae-heon told me all about you.
-You talked about me?
-A little bit.
Call me about anything car-related.
I'd love to help.
-But I have so many cars.
-Hey, hey.
Stop working him. Stop it!
Se-gyu, take a seat.
Sir, there's much to explain about cars,
which I'll do in the future.
-Okay.
-So cars. What are cars?
-Cars are cars.
-Right, an automobile.
Here's a little poem. "Car.
How many do you have? Car..."
WEDDING
Oh, man.
Oh, goodness.
I'm so buzzed.
It's just so fascinating.
I haven't had a drink in so long
that my tolerance has gone down.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were practicing.
Are you just hanging out?
I've been practicing every day.
I drank for the first time this week.
Me, Park Se-gyu.
You having fun?
Well, they say I'm good.
-Who says so?
-Jae-heon.
Hey.
Jae-heon said...
Forget it.
Come on. What is it?
I'll tell you later.
I have a headache right now.
-What's that?
-Wedding invitations.
Wait a minute.
You kept the hotel thanks to Mr. Jeong.
You don't need Dong-jae's shares.
So you don't have to marry him, no?
You're right.
So what are you mulling over?
You going to marry him?
-No.
-Then what?
I want Dong-jae to know.
I guess I'm not following
because I'm not sober.
You guys are so complicated.
Sir, to what do I owe the pleasure
of your gathering us here today?
Ri Moon-seong.
Go back to China.
What are you saying?
You may return
after you put your affairs in order.
Only then will I help you settle here
through due process.
Wait.
Tae-ju.
Help Moon-seong return to China.
What?
Do you know the shit I went through
to get him here?
What if he can't come back?
Do I have to go get him again?
Damn it.
I'll pay what's owed to you.
Gosh. Are you sure about this?
Man, but that punk is a loose cannon.
I'll go.
Thank you in advance.
The next time you return,
I'll be there to welcome you.
Thank you.
One extra chicken up!
Sir, one spicy chicken, please!
Yes, one spicy...
So you're going back to the States?
Yeah.
I guess Grandma
is resting in peace, right?
Of course she is.
Have you met Se-yeon?
That's random.
No. Well...
Not yet.
You're not going to see her?
I should.
But you like her.
What do you mean?
How did you know?
Are you going to keep liking her?
Yeah.
It won't be easy.
I think she thinks of you
as a little brother.
You little...
So I'll approach her like a man.
Still, it won't be easy.
-The hell do you know?
-I know well. Because I like you too.
Me too.
I really like you too.
Yeah, like a precious little sister.
Of course. You're very, very precious.
-Yoon-hee...
-That's why I said I know.
I can totally relate to your situation.
Yoon-hee...
You said it yourself.
You're going to really go for it.
So will I.
You aren't going to stop me, are you?
-No.
-Watch out.
You're going to get kicked to the curb,
and you'll start longing for me.
Even if I'm not kicked to the curb,
I'll be longing for you to return.
Oh, that gaze.
You clearly see me as a little sister.
I hate that look. It's so annoying.
Hey!
Are you sad the M&A didn't happen?
-Of course.
-Do you regret it?
It was Se-yeon who moved
Grandma's heart.
She ended up saving the company,
so she won.
I fought, but lost.
It's simple math to me.
I love that about you.
I love that you accept the outcome
with no strings attached.
So, should we go on a trip?
-A trip?
-How about Europe?
What about Switzerland, honey?
-Let's go.
-What? Really?
-I think I need a break.
-Oh, honey! Thank you!
Oh, my love.
Thank you so much.
What should I prepare first?
Honey, one second.
Next is about upgrading our amenities.
The most important thing
is that the products have to match
the dignity and image of our hotel.
These products satisfy those conditions.
Everything's been tested.
Despite our meticulous demands,
they've confirmed the availability
of the choice products.
The ingredients and packaging
are environmentally friendly.
This works well in connection
with the hotel's identity.
I believe it'll improve
our hotel's image and services.
Good.
What are you doing today?
Let's talk if you're not busy.
Let's go with this, if there's no problem.
There are...
too many problems.
What are you doing?
We've canceled before,
so it's not as hard as before.
Don't worry about my shares.
I'll give them to you.
But since I don't like to be at a loss,
no further negotiations.
What's this about?
Someone told me
that all I want is to correct
my past failures.
I guess I didn't want to admit my faults.
Trying to force things.
Sorry.
For what?
That I couldn't protect you
and your family from my family.
I knew my family disrespected yours,
and I did nothing about it.
I was scared of my family back then.
I was a coward.
I'm sorry.
You finally figured it out, Dong-jae.
It's been a while
since I saw that look on your face.
I'm going to start over.
You know what I mean, right?
See you around.
I heard you broke off your engagement.
Oh, that.
I think I was addicted to the idea of it.
-What does that mean?
-I'm going to start over.
-I'm going to do it right this time.
-And the shares?
I gave them all to Se-yeon.
You feel the cut?
I told you to be careful.
I thought you were wielding the hilt
of the sword,
but I guess you were wielding the blade.
Se-jun.
Is there a reason
you need to sell the hotel?
You must've had a reason at first,
but after running for so long,
I guess you began to focus on the run
and not the reason.
Isn't it so?
Just saying.
You and me,
it seems like we're in similar positions.
I'll go now.
Hope you get famous by the time I return,
Superstar Mr. Yoo.
See you.
When you get back,
I hope I can call you Attorney Seo.
"Oh, it's Attorney Seo."
So I can say that.
See you.
Hey, impostor.
Why are you still here?
-What's this?
-This is my last goodbye.
Yeah? Well, let's hear it.
That was the last goodbye.
Hey, impostor, what's your real name?
Yoo Jae-heon.
Yoo Jae-hyeon or Jae-heon?
Yoo Jae-heon. Heon.
I know you work hard at the theater,
but call me if you need a part-time job.
Yeah, sure.
See you soon.
I'm not so keen on that.
You sure don't change.
Speak for yourself.
See you.
-Where would you like to go?
-The main office.
Se-yeon.
Hey, why are you here?
You busy?
Yeah, a little.
I wanted...
to ask you something.
What is it?
Who am I to you?
Yoo Jae-heon.
What an odd question.
Yeah.
Yoo Jae-heon.
Having said that...
would you like to have dinner with me?
Oh, I love this place.
Se-yeon.
Se-yeon.
This place...
It's my kind of fancy restaurant.
That's so cute!
How did you find this place?
Cheers.
Cheers.
So good!
-Isn't this better than wine?
-It's so good.
I knew it.
I knew you'd love it.
So, they say serious relationships
begin with dinner dates.
Who said that?
I'm just saying.
Did Se-gyu tell you that?
With a heart of longing and love,
Grandma braced through her life.
Now she has left on a picnic
to a faraway place.
Thus ended her final act.
The audience members
took their memories of the play
and parted ways
to find their own happiness.
After removing the mask of my role,
I wanted to face one audience member
as myself.
There is a story I wanted to tell,
not with the voice of Ri Moon-seong
but of Yoo Jae-heon.
Not to my character's cousin,
but to Park Se-yeon.
To you.
