QUEEN OF TEARS
EPISODE 13
[young Man-Dae chuckles]
Welcome to our house. Come on.
-[young Beom-ja chuckling]
-[Mi-suk] Hmm.
[somber music playing]
[young Man-dae] Now this,
this is my secret space.
You just turn this handle
and press this button here.
[elevator rumbles]
[Beom-ja gasps]
[intriguing music playing]
[rumbling stops]
So, what do you think?
[sighs]
[Beom-ja sighs]
Did we take a wrong turn?
Wait. It looks like
there were some boxes in here.
They were here recently.
Oh, what a nightmare.
Father always planned ahead.
He must have hid it here,
but I guess that bitch got to it first.
-[music turns pensive]
-[Beom-ja clicks tongue]
He didn't even let his own children
know the whereabouts
of this secret hiding place.
[teacup clinks]
[music fades]
Did you say farewell to the chairman?
It was you, wasn't it?
-You killed my father.
-Why would I?
You swindled all of his money
and you didn't need him anymore.
Where did you put all of that money?
What's that supposed to mean?
Your father died,
and that's all you want to know?
I'm still heartbroken.
Stop with the bullshit.
You'd better leave here at once.
You have no rights to this house anymore.
As a legal resident,
if you want to kick me out,
you should go to court
and get a court order.
-[tense music playing]
-Baek Hyun-woo understands.
Hyun-woo, is that true?
We can't force her to leave?
Yes, but those proceedings
will rule in our favor.
We'll just see about that, though.
We are going to take our home back.
-And you still wanna stay?
-What?
We've been living under
the same roof for 20 years.
That means we're like family.
-Actually
-That's all right.
Soon we'll have our house back.
For now, let's live together.
[music swells, fades]
[Man-dae over recording] Hae-in.
[melancholic music playing]
Grandfather?
[Man-dae] It would have been better
if I could have spoken to you in person.
-But
-[sighs]
I'm glad I get to end my story like this.
Thank you.
[inhales shakily]
[sighs]
[Man-dae] There are fleeting moments
when my mind comes back to me
like a cellar room
that gets a sliver of sunlight each day.
But when it happens,
I can't think of very much.
I don't remember much of anything.
Instead, I'm just filled with regret.
My whole life, I've been saving money
and I held on to it with an iron grip.
I never let a single cent
go without a fight.
That struggle consumed most of my life.
But what is left after that?
[Beom-ja sobbing]
[Man-dae] So now,
I leave this confession to my family
that I have lived my life wrongly.
FORMER CHAIRMAN HONG MAN-DAE
I hope all of you make
different choices than me.
I hope
with all my heart
that you will have
more to show for yourselves
than I do now.
Father.
[crying]
[melancholic music continues]
[Beom-ja] Oh, Dad
[Beom-ja continues crying]
[Man-dae] I love you all.
And
I'm sorry.
[Beom-ja crying]
[music fades]
[Soo-cheol] Even if you don't
have an appetite, you should eat this.
[Beom-ja continues crying]
Oh, Dad.
Are you cold?
-You wanna stay in the car?
-[Hae-in] No.
Right now,
I feel really weird.
My grandfather's funeral
feels like a rehearsal.
A rehearsal?
For my own death.
[chuckles softly]
Death is quite a special event.
The whole family comes
and digs up the ground,
they bury the casket inside,
they eat gukbap under a tent,
or cry next to the grave.
Then everyone
returns to their homes when its time.
Eventually I'll be alone.
They said three months is all I had.
Well, that's gone now.
No one would be shocked if I died tonight.
But if I die now, my family
will have to mourn two deaths.
That would
hurt our family's standing,
don't you think?
Ah, so,
that's what you're worrying about?
"What if they have to have
consecutive funerals?"
Well, actually
["From Bottom of My Heart"
by Kim Na-young playing]
I keep thinking that I want to live.
The sunlight looks beautiful.
The sky is full of clouds,
and the birds are singing.
Everything is so perfect,
it's tormenting me now.
I want to keep living.
[chuckles softly]
[song swells]
[Hae-in chuckles softly]
Mmm.
[song ends]
[rattles, clicks]

CHECKING ID
PLEASE WAI
[beeping]
[music swells]
How did you find this?
[music fades]
DREAMLAND THEME PARK
[intriguing choral music playing]
Now this this is my secret space.
You just turn this handle
and press this button here.
[music swells]
Thank you, Chairman.
I told you.
I've always loved you. Even in secret.
This will go into your safety.
[music swells]
[music fades]
What with his daughter being ill,
and now his father's death,
Mr. Hong has gotta be a wreck right now.
Yeah, that's true.
But now that the chairman has passed away,
things have turned in favor of the Hongs.
-Oh, really?
-Uh
Father, uh
Look.
Chairman Hong's shares were 21%,
which was originally delegated
to that woman, Moh Seul-hee.
But since the chairman died,
those shares have returned to the Hongs.
-Oh.
-Mmm.
And currently, Yoon Eun-sung's
shares dropped from a total of 59.1%
to approximately 38.1.
If the shares that are frozen
in the joint guarantee
are made available to the Hongs,
-the total will be 34.7%.
-Ah.
Then the difference in their shares
will be 3.4%.
-Wow, they're almost tied.
-That's right.
How do you know about all this stuff?
-I'm a member of a club.
-What club?
Of all the Queens minority shareholders.
They're very keen on what will happen
as a result of this management dispute.
[exhales sharply] What the
Sounds like you're really keen.
I know this might sound materialistic,
but what do you think
will happen to Hyun-woo?
What are you saying?
Well, it's just
Once their family was ruined,
Hyun-woo dedicated himself
to helping them.
Once everything works out,
he can ask for some shares.
Or instead of director,
maybe they'll make Hyun-woo the CEO.
[sighs] I'm not
a very demanding father,
but I have a favor to ask.
Yes, uh, what is it?
If someone asks you who your father is,
just leave my name out, all right?
[Hyeon-tae] Okay.
Seriously? Whoa.
Father, wait for me.
[Du-gwan grunts softly]
Everyone owes you so much.
[sighs] Oh, well, it was our pleasure.
Good things will happen
once you're back home in Seoul.
You think so?
[Du-gwan chuckles softly]
[both sigh]
[both exhale deeply]
[inhales sharply] Um
You see, that persimmon
Originally, it was very bitter.
But there's a way to take persimmons
that are bitter and turn them
into something much sweeter.
-What is it?
-It's called persimmon infusing.
To start, you pour soju
all over the stem of the fruit,
then you cover them,
and you just leave them
like that for a while.
Then it gets sweet.
Uh [chuckles]
Here. Try a piece of it.
-It is sweet.
-[chuckles]
Sometimes this life can be
bitter and sour like those persimmons.
It's already difficult,
and when something like soju
is poured all over it,
it just feels pointless to go on.
But if you can keep your head up,
sooner or later,
your life will be sweet again.
But you knew that already.
[both chuckle]
-Yes.
-Yes.
[glasses clink]
Oh, hey, hey. Have a drink with us.
Ah, sure.
[cell phone vibrating]
INTERNATIONAL CALL
Uh, hold on. It's from Germany. Excuse me.
Hello.
[man] Our lab has recently
developed a surgical technique
using C2R ultrasound
combined with microbubbles,
which is ideal for patients like Mrs. Hong
who can't proceed with craniectomy
due to the degree
of spread in their brains.
We can't guarantee a full recovery,
but we recently saw a good prognosis
using this procedure on a similar case.
Um, however
[stirring music playing]
[Du-gwan] Wait. So are you saying
that she can get surgery?
Yes.
[sighs in relief]
Thank goodness.
In Hae-in's case,
they can't perform the surgery
that would require them
to open up her brain.
But now they're saying
they can perform a different surgery
using ultrasonic waves
to destroy the tumor.
They said it's worked in the past.
Well, that's great news.
[sighs] Thank you so much, Hyun-woo.
Does Hae-in know?
-I should go tell her.
-Hold on.
It's not that simple.
[gentle music playing]
[Beom-ja] Oh, thank the Lord,
our prayers have been answered, Hae-in.
Father must have sent this to us
as a present
as soon as he reached heaven.
[Seon-hwa] Is it true?
-[breath shaking] She can get surgery?
-Yeah.
[gasps]
Hae-in, this is wonderful.
It really is, Hae-in.
-Let's just be grateful for this miracle.
-[sobbing]
Congratulations.
Honey, congratulations.
[emotional music playing]
[sighs]
[exhales]
-[sighs]
-[music fades]
[door opens]
[Hae-in sighs]
How did they reach you? Email? Phone?
Or was it a video conference?
-It was a phone call.
-They called you?
What if it was just a scam? Voice fishing?
-It wasn't like that.
-Hmm.
All right. Good night.
Hyun-woo, they're sure this surgery can
work on a rare case like mine, right?
Mm-hmm. That's right.
Wow, all right.
And the date?
We can be there immediately.
Yeah, they know.
That's good.
[door closes]
So,
when this surgery is finished,
I'll live, right?
[Beom-jun] Does Hae-in know?
-I should go tell her.
-Hold on.
It's not that simple.
During the process
of destroying the tumor,
damage to the hippocampus is inevitable.
[Beom-jun] Really?
So it's likely
that she'll lose her long-term memories.
[solemn music playing]
Wait, what?
[hesitates] What are you saying?
It's likely that she'll lose
all her earlier memories.
[sighs]
However, this surgery is our only way
of keeping her alive at this point.
Her white blood cell levels
aren't increasing.
So the original treatment
is no longer an option.
There's really not much time left.
If she finds out that could happen,
Hae-in might refuse
to go to Germany for the surgery.
[Du-gwan] Oh, no.
What if she misses her chance?
How about
maybe you don't tell Hae-in
about the side-effects just yet.
And you persuade her
once you're in Germany.
Please, would you?
She needs to get the surgery
to stay alive.
That's what's important.
I'll survive this
when I get the operation?
-[sighs]
-What?
You'll survive.
You'll be fine.
All right, great.
Good night.
[sighs]
[door opens, closes]
[solemn music continues]
[Hae-in sobbing softly]
Hae-in.
-[music fades]
-[sobbing]
[sniffles]
Don't worry.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I'm just crying because it's been so long
since I felt happy like this.
["Promise" by Choi Yu-ree playing]
Yeah, I know.
I feel like
I've woken up from a long nightmare.
[Hae-in sniffling]
You're okay now.
[continues crying]
Let's head inside and rest.
[song continues]
HAE-IN
HYUN-WOO
[birds chirping]
[song ends]
[exhales softly]
-[Hyun-woo] Mmm.
-[chuckles softly]
[Hae-in chuckles]
Good morning.
[chuckles] Good morning.
You don't have to go to work today, right?
Mm-hmm.
Let's spend the day together.
[Hyun-woo] Hmm.
-[chuckles]
-Just the two of us.
-[Hae-in chuckles]
-Hmm.
["The Reasons Of My Smiles"
by BSS playing]
GURANG-RI STATION
-[Hae-in chuckles]
-Ah.
Right here.
TICKET OFFICE
Two, please.
Let's see.
[machine beeps, whirs]
[song continues]
Mm-hmm.
-[camera beeping]
-[camera shutter clicking]
[Hae-in chuckles]
No "Another angle." Come on.
[Hyun-woo clears throat]
[camera timer beeps]
-Good. Good.
-Oh?
[camera clicks]
[bell trills]
[Hyun-woo] Whoa.
[Hyun-woo laughs]
This is the first time we've traveled
since our honeymoon, isn't it?
Hmm. You're right.
I've been too focused
on work my whole life.
After my surgery,
I wanna plan more trips for us together.
Promise?
All right.
[song continues]
-[Hyun-woo clears throat]
-[sighs]
[song ends]
Hey, listen.
I don't want anything bothering me
before the surgery.
So with that being said, there are
some things I have to get off of my mind.
I see. What are they?
I didn't intentionally deceive you,
but there are three important secrets
I have to tell you.
You have three secrets?
I'll tell you each of them
before we leave.
Today, I'll tell you the first secret.
Well, tell me.
You said
you found this MP3 player, right?
Yeah.
It's mine.
-Huh?
-Look here.
See the "H"?
It stands for "Hae-in".
I lost an MP3 player on the school field
when I left to go study abroad.
And here it is.
[laughs incredulously]
No way.
Yes way. I'm telling you the truth.
[chuckling incredulously]
That's impossible.
Well, that impossible thing
actually happened, Hyun-woo.
I guess you just
don't remember running into me.
So this probably doesn't mean much to you.
Uh, that's not it.
-To be honest, it's just
-Hmm?
Don't worry.
I'm not upset. Why?
Because I've changed a lot recently.
I'll get to start things over soon.
From now on, I want to think
only about the good things in my life.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
This MP3 player is proof
of our history together.
Better to focus on something
positive like that.
[chuckles softly]
That's good.
The other night,
Eun-sung tried to make it seem like
he and I were meant to be together,
talking about how he saved me
a long time ago and whatnot.
"Meant to be together"?
[scoffs]
That sounds completely crazy.
Who does he think he [scoffs]
Well, it's a romantic idea.
We have a real love story.
It started that day on the school field.
[mellow music playing]
"How come I never noticed
someone this handsome before?"
"Can I take him with me?"
"This isn't fair."
I thought about you for a while.
-You had black loafers on.
-Hmm?
You were wearing black loafers.
With white socks.
And you had such fair skin too.
With hair about that high in a ponytail.
In a ponytail. Yeah, that's right.
I thought to myself,
"This girl is too good to be true."
[both chuckle]
So I spent the next day
looking all over to find you.
'Cause I didn't see
your name tag that day.
-Seriously?
-Mm-hmm.
You disappeared and left your MP3 player
like you were Cinderella.
-And it drove me nuts.
-[chuckles softly]
And then
we met again, and now we're together.
We also got divorced, obviously.
But, anyway
It's just what you said.
A real love story.
We're meant to be together.
Right.
And you're the ideal guy for me,
which means we're perfect for each other.
-Mm-hmm.
-Our future
Our future.
It feels so good to say that.
[music turns emotional]
[sighs]
[sighs] It's just exciting.
[both chuckle softly]
[Hae-in sighs]
I never thought I would be in your future.
Now we can be together.
And speaking of
[music fades]
I accept your request
to cancel our divorce.
What? Why do you look like that?
["Can't Get Over You" by Paul Kim playing]
[Hyun-woo sniffles]
You mean it?
I'm the CEO of Queens.
Don't you know that
I absolutely hate returns and exchanges?
In the future, when we have a fight,
you can't ask for
a refund on this promise.
If someone experiences a change of heart,
that doesn't qualify for a refund.
[Hyun-woo sniffles]
Even if we [sighs]
fight like cats and dogs,
we'll still be together.
Even if you say this promise
is not a real legal contract,
-it's no use.
-[sighs]
Let's choose to be together.
All right, sounds good. We'll do that.
So stop talking.
[song continues]
[Hae-in sighs] Hmm.
I hear your heart beating.
It's my favorite sound.
It always calms me down.
[sighs]
[song ends]
So I went and did the math.
Five percent is about 45 billion won.
Take the change, it's 40 billion.
I had a feeling you might pay in cash.
So I have a car waiting.
-It's outside.
-You're here to collect?
Mmm. This might come off
as a bit too forward,
but don't you think the reason for my
lack of trust is because of our history?
I did all the work,
and I got stabbed in the back a whole lot.
Check it.
[teacup clinks]
KO JEONG-JA
[gasps softly]
Thousand, ten thousand, million,
ten million, 100 million,
billion [voice shudders]
Ms. Moh, thank you very much.
Your beauty, your charm,
and your charisma.
It must be hard for one person
to have all of that.
I just wanna be all put together
the way you seem to be.
-I suspended it.
-Huh?
When I lift the suspension,
the money is all yours.
Are you serious?
Don't you think that my lack of trust
is because of our history?
I agree with you.
-No.
-I guess
If you do what I say when I say it,
then I'll lift the suspension.
And the money is yours. All yours.
Oh. You really are a snake.
Mom! What's all this?
It's not even kimchi-making season.
The Hongs are returning to Seoul,
so I've decided to give them
some pear extract and kimchi.
That's too much though.
I wanted to share with our neighbors,
so I made extra,
give some to the old ladies.
Oh, this is gonna take you all day.
Well, then put on a pair of gloves.
I can't. They'll damage my hands, so
Hey, I'll help you.
-The radish?
-Oh, could you cut it for me?
-[whimsical music plays]
-[gasps]
Wow, look at her. That's amazing.
[energetic music playing]
She's really good with that knife, right?
[music swells, slows down]
Anyway, the way she wielded
that knife was not normal.
[all] Oh.
-And she has no fear at all.
-What?
[music fades]
[chopping continues]
Hey.
This doesn't mean
that you're part of the family again.
I have no intentions
of joining the family.
Once I'm done doing my job,
I'll be on my way.
So don't worry about it, Mom.
[scoffs] You're not going to stay,
but you're calling me "Mother"?
I don't get it. Stop calling me that.
But I want to.
[chopping stops]
What?
I've never called anybody "Mother."
It was never an option.
So can you let it go?
-[softly] Whoa, whoa, whoa
-[jaunty music playing]
-The radishes are done.
-Oh.
-You're all done?
-Anything else?
No, no, no.
The onions aren't cut.
[gasps]
Ooh
-[all gasping]
-Incredible.
-I just think she's so brave.
-Why?
I mean, she didn't get scared
of her mother-in-law.
-She spoke her mind.
-[Mi-seon] Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
[women] Hmm.
-[woman1] Anyway.
-[woman 2] Come on, try this.
[woman 1] Looks good.
-Oh, Hae-in.
-[woman 2] There she is.
Hey, over here.
Everyone heard about the surgery, Hae-in,
and we're all so happy for you.
-That's just so wonderful.
-So great.
Congratulations.
I really appreciate it, but
-What are you doing?
-Ah.
Have you ever done this before?
We're dyeing our nails.
-I haven't.
-Well, you know what they say.
If the dye is still there
when the first snow falls,
your first love will come true.
That's why Bang-sil
always dyes hers in the fall.
How romantic.
I, um, wouldn't say romantic.
She's a very selfish girl.
Is it really selfish? I don't think so.
-He just happens to be divorced.
-Hey!
[Bang-sil] I mean,
I never used to see him that much,
but these days I keep on running into him.
It's been amazing.
-Be quiet. Shut up, would you?
-[woman 2] You're bad.
-[Mi-seon] You can stop talking.
-[Bang-sil] Sorry.
I was too honest, wasn't I?
Ms. Hong, don't be too upset.
-Why would I?
-It's just
To tell you the truth,
Hyun-woo used to flirt with me back
in the high school division at church.
Now when on earth
did Hyun-woo ever do that?
You didn't know?
They gave out snacks at church
and Hyun-woo would always give me
two of those chocolate cakes
and the steamed buns.
Everyone was jealous.
Well, that's because you used
to steal other people's snacks.
Uh, Hae-in, it wasn't like that.
Bang-sil, you're just talking nonsense.
So you said, until the first snow?
[whimsical music playing]
[imperceptible]
What are you doing? Get out.
-Look.
-Garden balsam?
Yes, the girls said
it's a very special balsam.
-How so?
-It represents the first snowfall,
which I never thought I'd see again.
It represents hope.
I thought I'd never
experience winter again,
which means I wouldn't live
to see the snow either.
But now I'm looking forward to it.
[music turns mellow]
Of course.
If the first snow falls
before this dye disappears,
it'll come true.
-What?
-My first love.
Your "first love," which is
the man on the bus
or the taxi you mentioned, right?
You like watching them from a distance,
or you find yourself thinking of them.
You take the longer route
just so you can see their face.
[Hyun-woo] You liked watching him from
a distance and liked thinking about him.
And you took the longer route
just so you could see that jerk's face.
-"Jerk"? Why would you call him that?
-[playful music playing]
[scoffs] Fine.
-It's him?
-Mmm.
[sighs] I hope that the first snow
falls a bit early this year.
Hae-in, you're wearing
the ring I gave you.
Your first love can't come true.
That'll will only complicate things.
Are you listening?
Hae-in.
Hey, wait.
[music fades]
Michael met Hong Beom-seok?
Yes, he's the CEO of Ever H.
I guess the eldest son of Queens wants
to return after his father's passing.
Ever H has appeared on the stockholder's
list as a legal entity for some time.
Hong Beom-seok's been gathering shares
since the stock price crashed.
He's persuading
the anchor LPs for a title.
Let him try. You can use
what I gave you to protect yourself.
[man] As requested,
I established shell corporations
in Hong Kong and Switzerland.
I opened their corporate accounts
with us here at IEBC,
and stated that only you,
Mr. Yoon, can manage them.
[dramatic music playing]
[Mr. Han] How should we
go about the first deal?
Let's use the CD at 2.1%.
BUYING SMALL AMOUNTS OF STOCK
AT REGULAR INTERVALS
-Yes, sir.
-[Hyun-woo] We got him.
Yoon Eun-sung revealed
the slush fund to the public.
He's anxious that Uncle
might endanger his position.
[sighs] Mr. Hong
is still in New York, yes?
Yes, he's still meeting with the LPs.
Keep feeding news of that
to Yoon Eun-sung.
He'll get anxious and
-buy more shares with the slush fund.
-Okay.
Soon we'll put Yoon Eun-sung
away for embezzlement,
breach of trust, and violation
of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.
Hey, that man you asked me to look into,
I think it was Pyeon Seong-uk.
You mean that land broker
who kidnapped you.
Hmm. He had evidence
on Director Jo and the double contract.
We never got it though.
He hasn't called, either.
He isn't using his credit cards anymore.
He's not even using his cell phone.
[Yang-gi sighs]
What if he left the country?
[Hyun-woo] Hmm.
Hasn't that car been there for a few days?
[suspenseful music playing]
[screams]
[newsreader] An unidentified man
in his forties was found dead
near Sambang Reservoir
in Yeongjin-gun, Gyeonggi-do.
The corpse appears
to have suffered stab wounds
and due to the severe decomposition
of the body, we have yet to identify
[music fades]
[Grace sighs]
Is this what a pie in the sky looks like?
[sighs]
[Seon-hwa sighs]
[Grace] Ms. Kim!
Your Amazing Grace is here!
-[Grace laughs]
-Jesus, what now?
Hey, what's going on?
I'm making dry persimmon.
Oh, my. [gasps]
Your hands are so rough. [gasps]
And look at those wrinkles.
Oh, your sunspots.
I got rid of all those, I thought.
You'll have your comeback at Queens soon.
But it's a battlefield out there.
Everyone's going back and forth
between you and that evil bitch.
You know what weapon is going
to help you beat that woman Moh Seul-hee?
Beautiful skin.
Lie down right now
and I will make it shine.
[relaxing orchestral music playing]
Oh, my God, I've never done
something like this before.
It tickles.
You'll get wrinkles if you laugh.
Now say these words in your head.
"Whitening, elasticity, recovery."
The most important thing
about a comeback is resilience, you know.
Oh, that's all right.
We have plenty of resilience.
We'll be returning to Queens,
and Hae-in will be healthy again
after surgery.
You're saying Hae-in's getting surgery?
I thought she couldn't
get surgery in her condition.
We found a hospital willing to try,
far away in Germany.
Ah, is that so?
[chuckles] How wonderful.
-[Seon-Hwa] It's really great.
-It really is great.
[music fades]
[whimsical guitar music playing]
Hello. I've been wanting to see you.
-That so?
-Yeah.
-[gasps]
-I have a gift.
Oh, what is it?
I didn't think I'd run into you
like this, so I left it at home.
Do you want to meet up tonight?
-At night?
-Uh-huh.
[exhales] Well, sure, let's do it.
[chuckles nervously]
[whimsical music continues]
[exhales]
[compact closes]
[chuckles]
Why ask to meet up late at night?
[gasps]
This man is way too forward.
Could be risky.
[inhales deeply]
Uh, well, you got here first.
-[Beom-ja sighs]
-[music fades]
Yes.
I have, uh, something to say.
-I'll speak first.
-Uh, sure.
So [sighs]
tomorrow is when I leave.
And when I get to Seoul,
I don't know when I'll come back.
I know. I overheard that, so
I know what you want to say to me.
I think I
got the hint when you gave me [inhales]
all those mulberries last time. [exhales]
-[sighs] Oh, it won't work.
-Huh? What won't
Listen.
I have money, as you know.
But also bonds,
movable property, real estate, stocks.
[sighs] That plus three ex-husbands.
[quirky music playing]
-Oh, what a surprise.
-I'm sure it is.
Anyway, [chuckles] it's just that
[inhales]
my life is too complicated.
So I can't start
anything with you.
Um
[hesitates] Still, please accept this.
-What is this?
-[sighs]
Wait, is this a love letter?
[gasps]
[chuckling] I don't know.
You really shouldn't.
CONDOLENCES
KIM YEONG-SONG
It's condolence money.
I heard about your father.
[gasps, sighs]
[envelope rustling]
-This isn't necessary. I'll be going now.
-Wait! Hold on, no.
You you can't turn this down.
This money actually isn't for you.
Beom-ja, this money is for your father.
No matter how rich you are,
in the afterlife, you start with nothing.
[emotional music playing]
[Yeong-song sighs] Take it.
I know it's not much,
but this way, your father will be able
to have drinks and rice soup
with the rest of the family.
Your father will live comfortably,
enjoying good food
with his friends and family.
So try not to be too heartbroken.
[breath shaking]
Thank you very much.
[crying]
Take care of yourself.
[Beom-ja sniffles]
[sniffles]
Good luck to you.
[crying softly]
[sniffles]
[exhales shakily]
-[sniffles]
-[music fades]
What are you talking about? You're staying
here instead of coming home with us?
What is this about?
It'll only be
until we get our own place to live.
What she's trying to ask is
why are you getting your own place?
Since I was young,
I've always had on training wheels.
One was Mom,
the other was Dad.
What are you saying?
Now I want to remove those training wheels
and stand tall on my own.
Stand tall on your own?
You must be joking.
Hey, Da-hye, is this your doing?
-Oh, uh
-Honey. Shh, shh. Don't say a word.
Let me do the talking.
If you want to talk to Da-hye now,
you can speak to her through our attorney.
-What?!
-Can you do me a favor?
I refuse.
Hey, take care of your family on your own.
And since we're on the subject,
[clears throat] I have something to say.
I'm not coming home either.
-[gentle music playing]
-Oh, you too?
He has a studio apartment in Seoul.
We're moving in there.
We're heading off to Germany soon
and it's closer to the airport.
No, it's not. It's even farther away.
Plus, there's everything we need
at his apartment.
It's small, but very efficient.
We have to take the elevator
to get to the fridge
in the middle of the night at our house.
That's too far to travel in your own home.
Hey, honey, I get what's going on.
The two of you just want
to be alone with each other.
Yes. I want to enjoy
my alone time with Hae-in.
With your blessing.
Well, if that's what you want,
then go ahead.
Yes, go ahead.
But if you need anything, just call.
[Soo-cheol] Wow.
This feels unfair.
No one's ever treated me unfairly before.
[chuckling] It's refreshing.
[Grace] They're coming back
with their things tomorrow.
I think you should prepare yourself.
Oh, I also met with Cheon Da-hye.
What is this?
You were long gone. Why come back?
Please don't tell Ms. Moh for now.
You idiot. She already knows.
Because she told me you were here.
Seriously?
She knows about what happened. All of it.
About the taxi and you carrying
the golden Buddha in your arms.
-Shit.
-Yeah, she has people watching everything.
What is it? Why are you here?
It must be resentment?
There's no resentment at all.
I felt guilty about it.
Really? You have a conscience?
It turns out I do.
A conscience toward the only one
who truly loved me after all.
Whoa, incredible.
She has feelings for him.
You know how once
you have feelings for someone,
-nobody can talk you out of it?
-[scoffs]
I was so good to her and still she lied.
I guess she believes in biting
the hand that feeds her.
Also, Hong Hae-in?
It looks like she might not be
terminally ill anymore.
Hyun-woo finally found
a hospital in Europe
that is willing to do an operation on her.
They're going to Germany in a week's time.
[pensive music playing]
[music turns ominous]
[gasps] You scared me.
Find which hospital they're using
and what kind of surgery.
-[knocking at door]
-[music fades]
[insects trilling distantly]
-Good night.
-Come in.
You can really see the stars from here.
[Seon-hwa sighs]
Two days ago, I even saw a shooting star.
Oh, yeah?
Before you were born,
I dreamt of a shooting star.
I wanted to have a pretty daughter.
So I wished upon a star.
And that star was named Hae-in.
[emotional music playing]
[inhales]
[sighs] It's difficult
to know how to talk to you sometimes.
We have been fighting
for over two decades.
It feels awkward being kind to you
all of a sudden, you know?
I was so terrible.
[cries] And I'm so sorry.
I regret it all. I will treat you better.
[inhales] This is perfect.
This is okay?
It'd be weird
if you were suddenly kind to me.
You know, we have
a lot of time ahead of us.
You'll get there eventually.
For now, this is good.
All right, then.
So what about if after your surgery,
we practice being kinder?
How does that sound?
[Seon-hwa breathes deeply]
Gosh, I didn't realize
how draining all this conflict
between in-laws could be.
-[music fades]
-Yeah.
I hear it's as stressful
as serving in the military.
It's important for us
to leave our family home.
-If only to protect Da-hye.
-Hmm.
-Oh.
-[sighs] Oh. What's taking so long?
Mom, Dad. I packed your things.
-[Seon-hwa] Oh, you did? Okay.
-Yes.
Traffic is gonna get really bad soon.
-Better get a move on. Let's go.
-[Beom-jun grunts]
[quirky music playing]
I'm sorry for everything.
But I feel the most sorry
about leaving our son behind.
I feel uncomfortable,
as if I had fun at a party,
but didn't help take out the trash.
-Father!
-What are friends for?
-[sighs]
-[Du-gwan] Tell me.
Why are you in such a rush now?
You should at least stay and have lunch.
-Yeah, you're right.
-Hey, no! You've been away for a month.
Go back to the house
and get things organized.
I was gonna make kimchijeon.
-Ah, no
-Kimchijeon?
Have some tasty kimchijeon
and some nice, sweet makgeolli.
How does that sound?
Hold it. Makgeolli? No, you're driving.
-I could drive us instead.
-[Bong-ae chuckles]
Don't worry.
You can always stay another night.
-Yes, absolutely.
-I guess you're right.
[huffs] You both need to learn
how to make an exit.
The whole idea of having a plan
is that you follow it. Isn't it?
-I think this is fine.
-[Soo-cheol sighs]
-[Hyun-woo] We'll get going now.
-Okay.
-[Hyun-woo] Trying to beat the traffic.
-Yeah. Go now and avoid the traffic.
Thank you for everything.
-Take care.
-[Bong-ae sighs]
You stay strong
when you get this operation.
Hae-in, I'll see you again.
[emotional music playing]
[Beom-jun sighs]
[Bong-ae sighs deeply]
Hyun-woo,
protect her.
-Don't worry, I will.
-[Du-gwan] Hey.
[bag rustles]
Your mother,
she made kimchi and pear extract.
-Carry those for them, Du-gwan.
-[Du-gwan] Sure. Yeah, I got it.
-Goodbye, everyone.
-[Beom-jun clears throat]
[Soo-cheol] Take this.
[huffs]
-[elevator beeps]
-[music fades]
You're the single guy on the 11th floor.
-Yes, hello.
-[woman] Hello.
He's not single.
-[quirky music playing]
-Huh?
Yes, I'm his wife.
[gasps] Oh, I see!
Didn't you say you were all by yourself
when you first moved in?
-I guess things change, don't they?
-[Hyun-woo chuckles]
Yes.
-[squealing] Oh! You two are newlyweds!
-[elevator dings]
[chuckling] How wonderful!
You're still on the honeymoon stage?
-[chuckling] Yes, we are.
-[woman giggling]
[Hyun-woo and Hae-in chuckling]
[Hyun-woo exhales]
[door closes, beeps]
[bag thumps]
[music fades]
You know, we've now officially announced
that we're newlyweds.
Wait, "officially announced"?
Yeah, to that woman.
Soon, the rest
of the neighborhood will find out.
Even the part-timers
at the convenience store in the lobby.
"The single guy
has chosen to marry a really pretty girl
and to live with her."
[chuckles]
Hmm. So?
[smacks lips]
I think we should act
like we're newlyweds all the time.
["Heart Flutter" by dori playing]
How's that?
[song continues]
[Hae-in] Typically, newlyweds
are still in the honeymoon stage.
So they're never far apart.
Their hands.
Their feet.
Shoulders.
Whatever.
They're always stuck to each other,
no matter what they're doing.
Sure we're happy now,
but there will be challenges in life.
I just look there? Did you smile?
[Hae-in] Then, all those memories
of the good times
will be like candy in a glass jar
to be savored one by one.
So the bad times don't feel so bad.
That's why it's important
to enjoy ourselves as much as possible now
while we're still happy.
[imperceptible]
[song continues]
[Hyun-woo humming]
-[grunts]
-That looks nice.
[Hae-in] Mmm.
[clanging]
[song ends]
-[clangs]
-[sighs]
Instead of accumulating stocks and shares,
I think from now on,
I'm gonna focus
on accumulating happy memories.
What really matters
to me now is [inhales]
-filling that glass jar. [exhales]
-Hmm.
So why did you come here so often?
-[chuckles] You really like baseball?
-[chuckles]
I enjoy the simplicity of it.
It's just, the ball comes out of that hole
and I try to hit it.
It's that easy.
What do you feel
while you're doing it?
Hmm. I like
[inhales] focusing on one thing
when things get complicated.
Or I think about what's most important,
and I focus on that.
It's all I have my eye on.
So what are you focusing on right now?
[mellow music playing]
Saving you, of course.
[chuckles softly]
That's what I'm focusing on.
That's what's important.
[softly] Now
[coin rattles]
[ball ejects]
[clangs]
[music fades]
It seems like Hong Soo-cheol
decided to stay there a little longer.
And Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in
are staying together.
The only ones moving back in
are the vice president and his wife.
"Vice president"?
Apologies, ma'am.
Once they've come back with their shares,
don't you think he'll try to get
his title as vice president back?
Who says he can?
Soon, they'll realize
they should have stayed away.
[Grace] Hmm.
[elevator dings]
I was on my way to see you.
Can we talk?
I heard Hae-in's
getting surgery in Germany.
[chuckles] Don't worry.
I was going to say that's great.
Ah.
[tense music playing]
-You were?
-Of course.
[inhales] I've always liked Hae-in,
and it's great that
you finally found a solution.
When you're in Germany,
please care for her.
I will.
If you're finished, can I go?
I researched it [sighs]
and found that
the surgery has side effects.
Does Hae-in know about this?
Well, if she knew,
she'd refuse the procedure.
I'm guessing she doesn't know.
What point are you trying to make?
She needs that surgery, so you'd better
keep it a secret.
I want her to live.
That's what's important.
Get rid of their old things.
We'll mail them to Hyun-woo.
[music turns ominous]
[music swells, fades]
You said you were coming here
as a customer today, not the CEO.
So I took a leave of absence.
I did come here as a customer.
-What are you going to buy?
-I'm just looking around.
I thought you hate customers
who don't actually buy anything.
[amusing music playing]
[Hae-in] This isn't a day spa.
You're supposed to buy things here.
Maybe we should get rid of all the chairs.
How about that?
[children yelling]
[sighs]
And there are kids playing around?
Kids can play at a theme park,
not this department store.
[Secretary Na] That's why
we got rid of all the resting areas.
Right. I'll spend money
like a good customer.
What do you want? I'll get it.
I could use lip balm. My lips are dry.
[Hae-in] Hmm.
[music fades]
[Hae-in sighs wearily]
Why am I so tired after spending money?
You're tired? That's concerning.
We can rest for a while.
No. [inhales]
I'm looking around.
This layout is amazing.
There's no time to rest.
We planned on buying lip balm,
but we also bought moisturizer.
I even bought a coat as well.
I planned on getting clothes,
but then I saw the scarves
and the matching gloves
were right next to it.
And those perfumes smell good.
You came up with this whole idea.
You wanted to have full control
over everyone's attention.
So you filled up every space
with pop-up stores.
Well, when I come back,
pop-up stores are history.
-Why?
-It's exhausting.
It feels like I got tricked
even though I spent my own money.
People don't want to feel used.
This is what I'm thinking.
We're gonna get rid of all this
and bring back chairs,
expensive ones that are comfortable.
[purposeful music playing]
Then we'll remodel the lobby plaza
and turn it into a space
where we can host concerts
and where kids can run around and play.
-[Secretary Na] Huh?
-You could take a date here.
Or bring your children
and have a look around the place
when it's cold out.
Sounds nice. I want people
to feel happy when they're here.
Seriously?
Seriously.
You're gonna change your mind
after the surgery.
-Why would I?
-On TV, you see it all the time.
After brain surgery,
people lose their memories,
and then they start to act
totally different.
Not true. In my case, I'll be
getting more time in my life.
I want to spend it as someone
who's better than they were before.
[music fades]
[woman, echoing] Ms. Jeon!
[amusing bluesy music playing]
Isn't that Ho-yeol's mom's voice?
-I'm here now.
-All right.
But why are you behaving like this
with your eyes lowered?
You're making me nervous.
-I would like
-There are no returns.
I'm not doing refunds either.
I'm sorry.
I tried to keep my promise,
but I think it's finally time now.
[imperceptible]
[sighs] All right.
Let me hear the reason for the refund.
-Just explain it.
-Me?
Oh, are you talking about that time
I spent time with the guys
and lied about it?
You little
-[Hyeon-tae hesitating]
-[sighs]
Oh, it's not. It's something else.
Ah, did you find that gaming console?
I bought it secondhand.
You bought a gaming console as well?
-[quirky music playing]
-[Hyeon-tae] Oh, oh.
Please just tell me what this is about.
[cries] He withdrew cash from our savings
and used it to invest in stock.
-[Ho-yeol's mom sniffles]
-[paper rustles]
Only half of it's left.
-[yells, grunts]
-[Hyeon-tae grunts]
He even bought cryptocurrency.
Now it's down just about 90%.
You must be insane! [grunts]
-[crying] I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
-[Bong-ae grunting]
[sighs in exasperation]
Hyeon-suk, I am so ashamed right now.
I will deal with him later,
but for now, I'll give you your refund.
You should go your own way
before it's too late.
[crying] No, please!
Anyways,
when I make kimchi, I'll text you.
You'll like it.
-[cries]
-I'm his mother, but even I'll admit
a beautiful woman like you
is more than he deserves.
-[crying]
-Hyeon-suk, I apologize.
-[sobbing] Oh, Ms. Jeon!
-[Hyeon-tae sobbing]
-I'll pay her, then I'm gonna murder you!
-[mumbles]
-[Bong-ae grunting]
-[Hyeon-tae screaming]
-Honey, honey!
-Just go away!
[music fades]
Good news!
Honey, I'm about to become
a very rich man. Do you hear me right now?
[Beom-jun] Hae-in told me
she bought something
but wasn't able to check in on it.
This building here.
Yes, but I clean every single day,
I water down the signboard,
I disinfect the water tank
-[Beom-jun] Uh-huh.
-and I even wax the floors.
-I'm considering doing a paint job too.
-I see.
It's got a good amount of foot traffic,
and since it's close to a two-lane road,
it's quite visible.
-And the rental is good too.
-Oh, yes, that's right. It's doing okay.
Why do you ask?
Um, are you trying to sell it?
-Oh
-I've discussed it with Hae-in,
and we've decided
to give you this very building.
-[quirky music playing]
-[Hyeon-tae] Oh?
Oh, uh [chuckling] What?!
[sucks teeth] Once I get back in Seoul,
our accountant will let you know
what documents you'll have to prepare.
Oh, hold on. Do you mean for free?
Think of it as a gift.
-[Hyeon-tae, softly] Yeah!
-[Beom-jun] Mmm.
Um, wow. I'm so overwhelmed.
This is unheard of.
I'm going to be the son of a landlord,
so don't break up with me.
-Stop it. We'll talk later. Okay?
-Huh?
You better talk with your father now.
[Hyeon-suk breathing heavily]
-[whacks buttocks]
-Go on.
[music fades]
[Hyeon-tae] So I'm thinking now
of remodeling the first floor
and turning it into a fitness center.
Hey, you're a boxing coach. Stick to that.
Now, Mother.
I've been saying I want to move my salon.
The first floor would be a perfect fit.
Quit butting in.
Do you know how much I clean
and make sure everything is just
I take all those stickers off the stairs.
You use the third floor anyway.
-Hyeon-tae?
-Yes, Mother?
It's time to move your gym.
Uh, why would you joke about
something like that? [chuckles nervously]
Not a joke.
-You're way behind on rent.
-Hold on. I'm trying
-Listen.
-Yes.
[Du-gwan grunts, clears throat]
This is exactly why
we have contracts, son.
-[amusing music playing]
-[inhales] Uh
"If the tenant is overdue
on monthly rent more than once,
the landlord can terminate the contract."
-Take a look at it.
-So what? I have to go?
Not at all.
We're telling you to pay the back rent
in full. It's due on the 10th each month.
-Now wait.
-[groans]
Do I have to? Huh? What about me?
Market price is a million won.
You can move in if you can match that.
Ugh! That's more expensive
than where I'm at now.
That's 'cause it's a great location.
Anyway, your mother and I
look forward to developing
a much stricter, businesslike relationship
with the two of you.
-[music fades]
-As your landlord.
Um, Father, why is it necessary
to have such tension between us?
-I'm telling you.
-[both] Oh.
There were lots of times when
it felt like you two were
challenging our authority as parents.
This is a way to establish your loyalty
by obeying your parents.
-No, it's not.
-Mmm?
-I just want them to pay me rent.
-[amusing music playing]
Oh, really, Bong-ae?
You should've mentioned that. [chuckles]
Anyway, [clears throat]
our Dubong Building
-Huh? Dubong Building?
-Du-gwan and Bong-ae's building.
-[gasps]
-Oh, my God.
-So tacky.
-[Mi-seon] Yeah.
From now on, it doesn't matter
whether you're family or not.
We only care about the rent.
Remember that.
-[both groan]
-[music fades]
It's only October,
and we have Christmas decorations?
Well, you told them to do it.
Me?
The harvest festival is already over.
Christmas is coming soon. So is winter.
We should create a festive mood
so customers will want
to buy their winter jackets here.
That way, we'll be able
to beat the competition.
By preparing for it early
as soon as Halloween's over.
Let's be the very first ones
to sell winter items.
[inhales]
Oh. [sighs]
Is this just a rehearsal?
Yes. The Marketing
has been working on this all day.
[Hae-in] Hmm.
[Christmas bells tinkling]
["Last Chance" by So Soo Bin playing]
Is that snow?
Does anyone else see this?
There's so much of it.
Hang on. I didn't know
they'd have the snow for the rehearsal.
Just a moment.
[Hae-in] Hmm.
[song continues]
Strange, there's snow in the fall.
You hoped it would snow early.
It's what you wanted.
-That's right.
-[song ends]
Looks like what I wished for
may be coming true.
[Hyun-woo chuckles]
That wish for my first love
is going to come true.
[laughs nervously] I
don't think
that's what this snowfall is for.
Why not?
What better sign is there?
[inhales sharply]
You're still thinking about
that jerk? Why?
[Hae-in breathes deeply]
I actually planned never to tell you this
because I thought
it'd make you too full of yourself.
But I'll tell you anyway.
It's my second secret.
-What is it?
-It was bus 372, yes?
-What?
-You rode it
after work to get home, right?
Oh. Uh-huh, uh-huh. That's right.
You always sat by the window
in the very back row.
Yeah, that's true.
-How'd you know?
-How do you think?
[sighs]
I crossed Hangang River quite often
to follow the bus you took after work.
It took me forever
to go back and forth in that traffic.
-Why?
-[sighs]
That man on the bus I mentioned?
The bus was 372, and the guy was you.
Yeah?
How'd you get into college?
["Tell Me It's Not a Dream"
by 10CM playing]
Huh? [gasps]
It was me?
Really? It was me?
Yeah, it was you.
[Secretary Na] They're just the sweetest.
Hey, why'd you bring out the snow
for the rehearsal?
Earlier today, Baek Hyun-woo here
Excuse me. Could you turn on
the snowmaker for the rehearsal?
Uh, we don't really have to do
all that for a rehearsal, do we? [sighs]
Well, um, the Law Department
has to prepare for it.
In case a customer
slips on the floor, you know?
I would like to see for myself
how slippery the floor will be.
[sighing] Oh, well, then we'll do it.
Just make the snowfall
large and beautiful.
Yes. Understood.
-I appreciate it.
-Sure.
[Secretary Na] Something tells me Hyun-woo
did this as an act of love for Hae-in.
[Secretary Kim] You're right.
They divorced, and now they're remarried.
[Hyun-woo laughing uproariously]
How romantic.
Was it really me?
I was your first love?
[song ends]
[birds chirping]
Their flight must have taken off.
Wonder what time they'll arrive.
[ticking]
It's a long way to go.
[groans] I'm glad I prayed every morning.
Hae-in will get better
when she gets that surgery.
Then she and Hyun-woo [inhales]
can live happily ever after.
[dishes clatter softly]
Uh, about that
Baek Hyun-woo said that
Hmm? What did he say?
Once she gets the surgery, Hae-in
[breathing shakily] She could
lose all her memory.
-[somber music playing]
-[dish clatters]
[Bong-ae] What are you talking about?
It's a possible side effect.
But what else can we do?
At least she'll survive.
Oh! [gasps]
[music swells]
[music fades]
[melancholic music playing]
[Beom-jun inhales]
There was no other choice.
I begged Hyun-woo not to say
anything about the side effects.
[breath trembling]
That's [cries, gulps]
That's good, I suppose.
She's got my temper,
and if she would have found out,
we would have never convinced her
to go to Germany.
I feel
[crying]
I feel so sorry for our daughter.
[sobbing]
My poor daughter!
[melancholic music continues]
[rattling]
You all right?
I'm doing fine.
Everything's fine.

[ominous music playing]
[woman] So you're headed
to Frankfurt, Germany?
-Yes.

BODY FOUND NEAR SAMBANG RESERVOIR
IDENTIFIED AS LAND BROKER, MR. PYEON
[music swells]
[music fades]
[sighs]
[Hae-in clears throat]
[Hae-in sighs]
[mellow music playing]
Tell me the third one.
What?
You said you had three secrets to tell me.
-You've only told me two.
-Ah, yeah.
[chuckles softly]
So the secret is
-Yeong-suk.
-Yeong-suk?
-The raccoon that lives on the roof?
-Mmm.
[exhales]
I never got a chance to see her.
However, I would like to see her.
-So what about her?
-I lied.
[laughs]
How could a raccoon live on the roof?
You believe that?
[both laugh]
Wow.
I never figured that out.
I would go on the roof
and I always called for her.
How sweet.
[both chuckle]
[Hae-in chuckling]
[music fades]
Here we are.
[inhales sharply]
-Hae-in.
-What?
There's something
I haven't told you either.
What is it?
What?
What did the doctor say?
Did they say they can't do the surgery?
That's not it.
Once you
get the surgery,
it's highly likely
that you'll lose your memory.
What are you saying?
What memory?
You could lose
all your memories.
Everyone you know,
everywhere you've been,
every single thing you've experienced.
You would forget everything.
But still, in spite of all that,
this surgery is the only way
you'll be able to live.
So
I have to
decide right now?
If I get the operation,
I'll lose my memory.
But I'll die if I don't?
What kind of answer
are you expecting me to give?
["Hold Me Back" by Heize playing]
-Hae-in.
-Yeah, what is it, Hyun-woo?
Just forget it.
Forget these last few days.
[Hae-in breathing heavily]
Let go. Let go of me.
Listen to me.
Just stop and listen.
I won't watch you die.
You have to live.
You're going to live.
Please,
let's survive this.
Hmm?
[song continues]
[song ends]
[Hyun-woo grunts softly]
[exhales sharply]
[clears throat]
Hi, Hong Hae-in.
I am Baek Hyun-woo.
I am your husband.
You must be in such a shock right now.
Well, me too.
You don't remember a thing,
and now a total stranger
is saying he's your husband.
-[emotional music playing]
-[crying softly]
Actually,
it's a good thing.
You were You were very, very sick.
Yet you survived.
[sniffles]
Uh
I figure you're curious
about what kind of person you were.
And I know it's sad
that you can't remember.
But don't worry.
[voice shaking] Because I
I haven't forgotten.
I promise to
explain everything.
Ah.
[sniffles] Ah, I shouldn't cry.
[chuckles, sniffles]
This is the first time you'll see me.
[sniffles, sighs]
[exhales]
And I want to let you know
that even if I'm no longer
your idea of a perfect man, I'm sorry.
However, we can't just end things.
You and I once made a promise.
And there's no refund
with a change of heart.
Even if it's not working
or we hate each other,
even
[breath trembling]
if we have to
start over.
Even then,
I'm sticking with you.
That was our promise.
[breathes shakily]
Now that you're healed,
we'll do exciting things
as well as completely ordinary things
together every day.
We'll fill your glass jar
with our life together.
That's what I want.
And we can do it.
Nothing can come between us.
I [cries]
[sniffles]
I love you, Hae-in.
[music fades]
I will love you
[sniffles]
always.

QUEEN OF TEARS
[song continues]
[Hae-in] I remember it so clearly.
The moon, the wind.
[Hyun-woo] I'm begging you,
don't pray about leaving.
Or else those people
you call your family will get hurt.
[Soo-cheol] Da-hye!
[Hae-in] I lived my life as myself.
That's how I'll die.
[Hyun-woo] I won't let that happen.
[Beom-jun] That's how he found
the hospital willing to do this surgery.
[Hyun-woo] I'm gonna protect this woman.
[crying] Stop doing this to me!
Stop making me want to keep on living.

[young Man-Dae chuckles]
Welcome to our house. Come on.
-[young Beom-ja chuckling]
-[Mi-suk] Hmm.
[somber music playing]
[young Man-dae] Now this,
this is my secret space.
You just turn this handle
and press this button here.
[elevator rumbles]
[Beom-ja gasps]
[intriguing music playing]
[rumbling stops]
So, what do you think?
[sighs]
[Beom-ja sighs]
Did we take a wrong turn?
Wait. It looks like
there were some boxes in here.
They were here recently.
Oh, what a nightmare.
Father always planned ahead.
He must have hid it here,
but I guess that bitch got to it first.
-[music turns pensive]
-[Beom-ja clicks tongue]
He didn't even let his own children
know the whereabouts
of this secret hiding place.
[teacup clinks]
[music fades]
Did you say farewell to the chairman?
It was you, wasn't it?
-You killed my father.
-Why would I?
You swindled all of his money
and you didn't need him anymore.
Where did you put all of that money?
What's that supposed to mean?
Your father died,
and that's all you want to know?
I'm still heartbroken.
Stop with the bullshit.
You'd better leave here at once.
You have no rights to this house anymore.
As a legal resident,
if you want to kick me out,
you should go to court
and get a court order.
-[tense music playing]
-Baek Hyun-woo understands.
Hyun-woo, is that true?
We can't force her to leave?
Yes, but those proceedings
will rule in our favor.
We'll just see about that, though.
We are going to take our home back.
-And you still wanna stay?
-What?
We've been living under
the same roof for 20 years.
That means we're like family.
-Actually
-That's all right.
Soon we'll have our house back.
For now, let's live together.
[music swells, fades]
[Man-dae over recording] Hae-in.
[melancholic music playing]
Grandfather?
[Man-dae] It would have been better
if I could have spoken to you in person.
-But
-[sighs]
I'm glad I get to end my story like this.
Thank you.
[inhales shakily]
[sighs]
[Man-dae] There are fleeting moments
when my mind comes back to me
like a cellar room
that gets a sliver of sunlight each day.
But when it happens,
I can't think of very much.
I don't remember much of anything.
Instead, I'm just filled with regret.
My whole life, I've been saving money
and I held on to it with an iron grip.
I never let a single cent
go without a fight.
That struggle consumed most of my life.
But what is left after that?
[Beom-ja sobbing]
[Man-dae] So now,
I leave this confession to my family
that I have lived my life wrongly.
FORMER CHAIRMAN HONG MAN-DAE
I hope all of you make
different choices than me.
I hope
with all my heart
that you will have
more to show for yourselves
than I do now.
Father.
[crying]
[melancholic music continues]
[Beom-ja] Oh, Dad
[Beom-ja continues crying]
[Man-dae] I love you all.
And
I'm sorry.
[Beom-ja crying]
[music fades]
[Soo-cheol] Even if you don't
have an appetite, you should eat this.
[Beom-ja continues crying]
Oh, Dad.
Are you cold?
-You wanna stay in the car?
-[Hae-in] No.
Right now,
I feel really weird.
My grandfather's funeral
feels like a rehearsal.
A rehearsal?
For my own death.
[chuckles softly]
Death is quite a special event.
The whole family comes
and digs up the ground,
they bury the casket inside,
they eat gukbap under a tent,
or cry next to the grave.
Then everyone
returns to their homes when its time.
Eventually I'll be alone.
They said three months is all I had.
Well, that's gone now.
No one would be shocked if I died tonight.
But if I die now, my family
will have to mourn two deaths.
That would
hurt our family's standing,
don't you think?
Ah, so,
that's what you're worrying about?
"What if they have to have
consecutive funerals?"
Well, actually
["From Bottom of My Heart"
by Kim Na-young playing]
I keep thinking that I want to live.
The sunlight looks beautiful.
The sky is full of clouds,
and the birds are singing.
Everything is so perfect,
it's tormenting me now.
I want to keep living.

DREAMLAND THEME PARK
[intriguing choral music playing]
Now this this is my secret space.
You just turn this handle
and press this button here.
[music swells]
Thank you, Chairman.
I told you.
I've always loved you. Even in secret.
This will go into your safety.
[music swells]
[music fades]
What with his daughter being ill,
and now his father's death,
Mr. Hong has gotta be a wreck right now.
Yeah, that's true.
But now that the chairman has passed away,
things have turned in favor of the Hongs.
-Oh, really?
-Uh
Father, uh
Look.
Chairman Hong's shares were 21%,
which was originally delegated
to that woman, Moh Seul-hee.
But since the chairman died,
those shares have returned to the Hongs.
-Oh.
-Mmm.
And currently, Yoon Eun-sung's
shares dropped from a total of 59.1%
to approximately 38.1.
If the shares that are frozen
in the joint guarantee
are made available to the Hongs,
-the total will be 34.7%.
-Ah.
Then the difference in their shares
will be 3.4%.
-Wow, they're almost tied.
-That's right.
How do you know about all this stuff?
-I'm a member of a club.
-What club?
Of all the Queens minority shareholders.
They're very keen on what will happen
as a result of this management dispute.
[exhales sharply] What the
Sounds like you're really keen.
I know this might sound materialistic,
but what do you think
will happen to Hyun-woo?
What are you saying?
Well, it's just
Once their family was ruined,
Hyun-woo dedicated himself
to helping them.
Once everything works out,
he can ask for some shares.
Or instead of director,
maybe they'll make Hyun-woo the CEO.
[sighs] I'm not
a very demanding father,
but I have a favor to ask.
Yes, uh, what is it?
If someone asks you who your father is,
just leave my name out, all right?
[Hyeon-tae] Okay.
Seriously? Whoa.
Father, wait for me.
[Du-gwan grunts softly]
Everyone owes you so much.
[sighs] Oh, well, it was our pleasure.
Good things will happen
once you're back home in Seoul.
You think so?
[Du-gwan chuckles softly]
[both sigh]
[both exhale deeply]
[inhales sharply] Um
You see, that persimmon
Originally, it was very bitter.
But there's a way to take persimmons
that are bitter and turn them
into something much sweeter.
-What is it?
-It's called persimmon infusing.
To start, you pour soju
all over the stem of the fruit,
then you cover them,
and you just leave them
like that for a while.
Then it gets sweet.
Uh [chuckles]
Here. Try a piece of it.
-It is sweet.
-[chuckles]
Sometimes this life can be
bitter and sour like those persimmons.
It's already difficult,
and when something like soju
is poured all over it,
it just feels pointless to go on.
But if you can keep your head up,
sooner or later,
your life will be sweet again.
But you knew that already.
[both chuckle]
-Yes.
-Yes.
[glasses clink]
Oh, hey, hey. Have a drink with us.
Ah, sure.
[cell phone vibrating]
INTERNATIONAL CALL
Uh, hold on. It's from Germany. Excuse me.
Hello.
[man] Our lab has recently
developed a surgical technique
using C2R ultrasound
combined with microbubbles,
which is ideal for patients like Mrs. Hong
who can't proceed with craniectomy
due to the degree
of spread in their brains.
We can't guarantee a full recovery,
but we recently saw a good prognosis
using this procedure on a similar case.
Um, however
[stirring music playing]
[Du-gwan] Wait. So are you saying
that she can get surgery?
Yes.
[sighs in relief]
Thank goodness.
In Hae-in's case,
they can't perform the surgery
that would require them
to open up her brain.
But now they're saying
they can perform a different surgery
using ultrasonic waves
to destroy the tumor.
They said it's worked in the past.
Well, that's great news.
[sighs] Thank you so much, Hyun-woo.
Does Hae-in know?
-I should go tell her.
-Hold on.
It's not that simple.
[gentle music playing]
[Beom-ja] Oh, thank the Lord,
our prayers have been answered, Hae-in.
Father must have sent this to us
as a present
as soon as he reached heaven.
[Seon-hwa] Is it true?
-[breath shaking] She can get surgery?
-Yeah.
[gasps]
Hae-in, this is wonderful.
It really is, Hae-in.
-Let's just be grateful for this miracle.
-[sobbing]
Congratulations.
Honey, congratulations.
[emotional music playing]
[sighs]
[exhales]
-[sighs]
-[music fades]
[door opens]
[Hae-in sighs]
How did they reach you? Email? Phone?
Or was it a video conference?
-It was a phone call.
-They called you?
What if it was just a scam? Voice fishing?
-It wasn't like that.
-Hmm.
All right. Good night.
Hyun-woo, they're sure this surgery can
work on a rare case like mine, right?
Mm-hmm. That's right.
Wow, all right.
And the date?
We can be there immediately.
Yeah, they know.
That's good.
[door closes]
So,
when this surgery is finished,
I'll live, right?
[Beom-jun] Does Hae-in know?
-I should go tell her.
-Hold on.
It's not that simple.
During the process
of destroying the tumor,
damage to the hippocampus is inevitable.
[Beom-jun] Really?
So it's likely
that she'll lose her long-term memories.
[solemn music playing]
Wait, what?
[hesitates] What are you saying?
It's likely that she'll lose
all her earlier memories.
[sighs]
However, this surgery is our only way
of keeping her alive at this point.
Her white blood cell levels
aren't increasing.
So the original treatment
is no longer an option.
There's really not much time left.
If she finds out that could happen,
Hae-in might refuse
to go to Germany for the surgery.
[Du-gwan] Oh, no.
What if she misses her chance?
How about
maybe you don't tell Hae-in
about the side-effects just yet.
And you persuade her
once you're in Germany.
Please, would you?
She needs to get the surgery
to stay alive.
That's what's important.
I'll survive this
when I get the operation?
-[sighs]
-What?
You'll survive.
You'll be fine.
All right, great.
Good night.
[sighs]
[door opens, closes]
[solemn music continues]
[Hae-in sobbing softly]
Hae-in.
-[music fades]
-[sobbing]
[sniffles]
Don't worry.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I'm just crying because it's been so long
since I felt happy like this.
["Promise" by Choi Yu-ree playing]

[Hyun-woo laughs]
This is the first time we've traveled
since our honeymoon, isn't it?
Hmm. You're right.
I've been too focused
on work my whole life.
After my surgery,
I wanna plan more trips for us together.
Promise?
All right.
[song continues]
-[Hyun-woo clears throat]
-[sighs]
[song ends]
Hey, listen.
I don't want anything bothering me
before the surgery.
So with that being said, there are
some things I have to get off of my mind.
I see. What are they?
I didn't intentionally deceive you,
but there are three important secrets
I have to tell you.
You have three secrets?
I'll tell you each of them
before we leave.
Today, I'll tell you the first secret.
Well, tell me.
You said
you found this MP3 player, right?
Yeah.
It's mine.
-Huh?
-Look here.
See the "H"?
It stands for "Hae-in".
I lost an MP3 player on the school field
when I left to go study abroad.
And here it is.
[laughs incredulously]
No way.
Yes way. I'm telling you the truth.
[chuckling incredulously]
That's impossible.
Well, that impossible thing
actually happened, Hyun-woo.
I guess you just
don't remember running into me.
So this probably doesn't mean much to you.
Uh, that's not it.
-To be honest, it's just
-Hmm?
Don't worry.
I'm not upset. Why?
Because I've changed a lot recently.
I'll get to start things over soon.
From now on, I want to think
only about the good things in my life.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
This MP3 player is proof
of our history together.
Better to focus on something
positive like that.
[chuckles softly]
That's good.
The other night,
Eun-sung tried to make it seem like
he and I were meant to be together,
talking about how he saved me
a long time ago and whatnot.
"Meant to be together"?
[scoffs]
That sounds completely crazy.
Who does he think he [scoffs]
Well, it's a romantic idea.
We have a real love story.
It started that day on the school field.
[mellow music playing]
"How come I never noticed
someone this handsome before?"
"Can I take him with me?"
"This isn't fair."
I thought about you for a while.
-You had black loafers on.
-Hmm?
You were wearing black loafers.
With white socks.
And you had such fair skin too.
With hair about that high in a ponytail.
In a ponytail. Yeah, that's right.
I thought to myself,
"This girl is too good to be true."
[both chuckle]
So I spent the next day
looking all over to find you.
'Cause I didn't see
your name tag that day.
-Seriously?
-Mm-hmm.
You disappeared and left your MP3 player
like you were Cinderella.
-And it drove me nuts.
-[chuckles softly]
And then
we met again, and now we're together.
We also got divorced, obviously.
But, anyway
It's just what you said.
A real love story.
We're meant to be together.
Right.
And you're the ideal guy for me,
which means we're perfect for each other.
-Mm-hmm.
-Our future
Our future.
It feels so good to say that.
[music turns emotional]
[sighs]
[sighs] It's just exciting.
[both chuckle softly]
[Hae-in sighs]
I never thought I would be in your future.
Now we can be together.
And speaking of
[music fades]
I accept your request
to cancel our divorce.
What? Why do you look like that?
["Can't Get Over You" by Paul Kim playing]
[Hyun-woo sniffles]
You mean it?
I'm the CEO of Queens.
Don't you know that
I absolutely hate returns and exchanges?
In the future, when we have a fight,
you can't ask for
a refund on this promise.
If someone experiences a change of heart,
that doesn't qualify for a refund.
[Hyun-woo sniffles]
Even if we [sighs]
fight like cats and dogs,
we'll still be together.
Even if you say this promise
is not a real legal contract,
-it's no use.
-[sighs]
Let's choose to be together.
All right, sounds good. We'll do that.
So stop talking.
[song continues]
[Hae-in sighs] Hmm.
I hear your heart beating.
It's my favorite sound.
It always calms me down.
[sighs]
[song ends]
So I went and did the math.
Five percent is about 45 billion won.
Take the change, it's 40 billion.
I had a feeling you might pay in cash.
So I have a car waiting.
-It's outside.
-You're here to collect?
Mmm. This might come off
as a bit too forward,
but don't you think the reason for my
lack of trust is because of our history?
I did all the work,
and I got stabbed in the back a whole lot.
Check it.

Ms. Moh, thank you very much.
Your beauty, your charm,
and your charisma.
It must be hard for one person
to have all of that.
I just wanna be all put together
the way you seem to be.
-I suspended it.
-Huh?
When I lift the suspension,
the money is all yours.
Are you serious?
Don't you think that my lack of trust
is because of our history?
I agree with you.
-No.
-I guess
If you do what I say when I say it,
then I'll lift the suspension.
And the money is yours. All yours.
Oh. You really are a snake.
Mom! What's all this?
It's not even kimchi-making season.
The Hongs are returning to Seoul,
so I've decided to give them
some pear extract and kimchi.
That's too much though.
I wanted to share with our neighbors,
so I made extra,
give some to the old ladies.
Oh, this is gonna take you all day.
Well, then put on a pair of gloves.
I can't. They'll damage my hands, so
Hey, I'll help you.
-The radish?
-Oh, could you cut it for me?
-[whimsical music plays]
-[gasps]
Wow, look at her. That's amazing.
[energetic music playing]
She's really good with that knife, right?
[music swells, slows down]
Anyway, the way she wielded
that knife was not normal.
[all] Oh.
-And she has no fear at all.
-What?
[music fades]
[chopping continues]
Hey.
This doesn't mean
that you're part of the family again.
I have no intentions
of joining the family.
Once I'm done doing my job,
I'll be on my way.
So don't worry about it, Mom.
[scoffs] You're not going to stay,
but you're calling me "Mother"?
I don't get it. Stop calling me that.
But I want to.
[chopping stops]
What?
I've never called anybody "Mother."
It was never an option.
So can you let it go?
-[softly] Whoa, whoa, whoa
-[jaunty music playing]
-The radishes are done.
-Oh.
-You're all done?
-Anything else?
No, no, no.
The onions aren't cut.
[gasps]
Ooh
-[all gasping]
-Incredible.
-I just think she's so brave.
-Why?
I mean, she didn't get scared
of her mother-in-law.
-She spoke her mind.
-[Mi-seon] Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
[women] Hmm.
-[woman1] Anyway.
-[woman 2] Come on, try this.
[woman 1] Looks good.
-Oh, Hae-in.
-[woman 2] There she is.
Hey, over here.
Everyone heard about the surgery, Hae-in,
and we're all so happy for you.
-That's just so wonderful.
-So great.
Congratulations.
I really appreciate it, but
-What are you doing?
-Ah.
Have you ever done this before?
We're dyeing our nails.
-I haven't.
-Well, you know what they say.
If the dye is still there
when the first snow falls,
your first love will come true.
That's why Bang-sil
always dyes hers in the fall.
How romantic.
I, um, wouldn't say romantic.
She's a very selfish girl.
Is it really selfish? I don't think so.
-He just happens to be divorced.
-Hey!
[Bang-sil] I mean,
I never used to see him that much,
but these days I keep on running into him.
It's been amazing.
-Be quiet. Shut up, would you?
-[woman 2] You're bad.
-[Mi-seon] You can stop talking.
-[Bang-sil] Sorry.
I was too honest, wasn't I?
Ms. Hong, don't be too upset.
-Why would I?
-It's just
To tell you the truth,
Hyun-woo used to flirt with me back
in the high school division at church.
Now when on earth
did Hyun-woo ever do that?
You didn't know?
They gave out snacks at church
and Hyun-woo would always give me
two of those chocolate cakes
and the steamed buns.
Everyone was jealous.
Well, that's because you used
to steal other people's snacks.
Uh, Hae-in, it wasn't like that.
Bang-sil, you're just talking nonsense.
So you said, until the first snow?
[whimsical music playing]
[imperceptible]
What are you doing? Get out.
-Look.
-Garden balsam?
Yes, the girls said
it's a very special balsam.
-How so?
-It represents the first snowfall,
which I never thought I'd see again.
It represents hope.
I thought I'd never
experience winter again,
which means I wouldn't live
to see the snow either.
But now I'm looking forward to it.
[music turns mellow]
Of course.
If the first snow falls
before this dye disappears,
it'll come true.
-What?
-My first love.
Your "first love," which is
the man on the bus
or the taxi you mentioned, right?
You like watching them from a distance,
or you find yourself thinking of them.
You take the longer route
just so you can see their face.
[Hyun-woo] You liked watching him from
a distance and liked thinking about him.
And you took the longer route
just so you could see that jerk's face.
-"Jerk"? Why would you call him that?
-[playful music playing]
[scoffs] Fine.
-It's him?
-Mmm.
[sighs] I hope that the first snow
falls a bit early this year.
Hae-in, you're wearing
the ring I gave you.
Your first love can't come true.
That'll will only complicate things.
Are you listening?
Hae-in.
Hey, wait.
[music fades]
Michael met Hong Beom-seok?
Yes, he's the CEO of Ever H.
I guess the eldest son of Queens wants
to return after his father's passing.
Ever H has appeared on the stockholder's
list as a legal entity for some time.
Hong Beom-seok's been gathering shares
since the stock price crashed.
He's persuading
the anchor LPs for a title.
Let him try. You can use
what I gave you to protect yourself.
[man] As requested,
I established shell corporations
in Hong Kong and Switzerland.
I opened their corporate accounts
with us here at IEBC,
and stated that only you,
Mr. Yoon, can manage them.
[dramatic music playing]
[Mr. Han] How should we
go about the first deal?
Let's use the CD at 2.1%.
BUYING SMALL AMOUNTS OF STOCK
AT REGULAR INTERVALS
-Yes, sir.
-[Hyun-woo] We got him.
Yoon Eun-sung revealed
the slush fund to the public.
He's anxious that Uncle
might endanger his position.
[sighs] Mr. Hong
is still in New York, yes?
Yes, he's still meeting with the LPs.
Keep feeding news of that
to Yoon Eun-sung.
He'll get anxious and
-buy more shares with the slush fund.
-Okay.
Soon we'll put Yoon Eun-sung
away for embezzlement,
breach of trust, and violation
of the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.
Hey, that man you asked me to look into,
I think it was Pyeon Seong-uk.
You mean that land broker
who kidnapped you.
Hmm. He had evidence
on Director Jo and the double contract.
We never got it though.
He hasn't called, either.
He isn't using his credit cards anymore.
He's not even using his cell phone.
[Yang-gi sighs]
What if he left the country?
[Hyun-woo] Hmm.
Hasn't that car been there for a few days?
[suspenseful music playing]
[screams]
[newsreader] An unidentified man
in his forties was found dead
near Sambang Reservoir
in Yeongjin-gun, Gyeonggi-do.
The corpse appears
to have suffered stab wounds
and due to the severe decomposition
of the body, we have yet to identify
[music fades]
[Grace sighs]
Is this what a pie in the sky looks like?
[sighs]
[Seon-hwa sighs]
[Grace] Ms. Kim!
Your Amazing Grace is here!
-[Grace laughs]
-Jesus, what now?
Hey, what's going on?
I'm making dry persimmon.
Oh, my. [gasps]
Your hands are so rough. [gasps]
And look at those wrinkles.
Oh, your sunspots.
I got rid of all those, I thought.
You'll have your comeback at Queens soon.
But it's a battlefield out there.
Everyone's going back and forth
between you and that evil bitch.
You know what weapon is going
to help you beat that woman Moh Seul-hee?
Beautiful skin.
Lie down right now
and I will make it shine.
[relaxing orchestral music playing]
Oh, my God, I've never done
something like this before.
It tickles.
You'll get wrinkles if you laugh.
Now say these words in your head.
"Whitening, elasticity, recovery."
The most important thing
about a comeback is resilience, you know.
Oh, that's all right.
We have plenty of resilience.
We'll be returning to Queens,
and Hae-in will be healthy again
after surgery.
You're saying Hae-in's getting surgery?
I thought she couldn't
get surgery in her condition.
We found a hospital willing to try,
far away in Germany.
Ah, is that so?
[chuckles] How wonderful.
-[Seon-Hwa] It's really great.
-It really is great.
[music fades]
[whimsical guitar music playing]
Hello. I've been wanting to see you.
-That so?
-Yeah.
-[gasps]
-I have a gift.
Oh, what is it?
I didn't think I'd run into you
like this, so I left it at home.
Do you want to meet up tonight?
-At night?
-Uh-huh.
[exhales] Well, sure, let's do it.
[chuckles nervously]
[whimsical music continues]
[exhales]
[compact closes]
[chuckles]
Why ask to meet up late at night?
[gasps]
This man is way too forward.
Could be risky.
[inhales deeply]
Uh, well, you got here first.
-[Beom-ja sighs]
-[music fades]
Yes.
I have, uh, something to say.
-I'll speak first.
-Uh, sure.
So [sighs]
tomorrow is when I leave.
And when I get to Seoul,
I don't know when I'll come back.
I know. I overheard that, so
I know what you want to say to me.
I think I
got the hint when you gave me [inhales]
all those mulberries last time. [exhales]
-[sighs] Oh, it won't work.
-Huh? What won't
Listen.
I have money, as you know.
But also bonds,
movable property, real estate, stocks.
[sighs] That plus three ex-husbands.
[quirky music playing]
-Oh, what a surprise.
-I'm sure it is.
Anyway, [chuckles] it's just that
[inhales]
my life is too complicated.
So I can't start
anything with you.
Um
[hesitates] Still, please accept this.
-What is this?
-[sighs]
Wait, is this a love letter?
[gasps]
[chuckling] I don't know.
You really shouldn't.
CONDOLENCES
KIM YEONG-SONG
It's condolence money.
I heard about your father.
[gasps, sighs]
[envelope rustling]
-This isn't necessary. I'll be going now.
-Wait! Hold on, no.
You you can't turn this down.
This money actually isn't for you.
Beom-ja, this money is for your father.
No matter how rich you are,
in the afterlife, you start with nothing.
[emotional music playing]
[Yeong-song sighs] Take it.
I know it's not much,
but this way, your father will be able
to have drinks and rice soup
with the rest of the family.
Your father will live comfortably,
enjoying good food
with his friends and family.
So try not to be too heartbroken.
[breath shaking]
Thank you very much.
[crying]
Take care of yourself.
[Beom-ja sniffles]
[sniffles]
Good luck to you.
[crying softly]
[sniffles]
[exhales shakily]
-[sniffles]
-[music fades]
What are you talking about? You're staying
here instead of coming home with us?
What is this about?
It'll only be
until we get our own place to live.
What she's trying to ask is
why are you getting your own place?
Since I was young,
I've always had on training wheels.
One was Mom,
the other was Dad.
What are you saying?
Now I want to remove those training wheels
and stand tall on my own.
Stand tall on your own?
You must be joking.
Hey, Da-hye, is this your doing?
-Oh, uh
-Honey. Shh, shh. Don't say a word.
Let me do the talking.
If you want to talk to Da-hye now,
you can speak to her through our attorney.
-What?!
-Can you do me a favor?
I refuse.
Hey, take care of your family on your own.
And since we're on the subject,
[clears throat] I have something to say.
I'm not coming home either.
-[gentle music playing]
-Oh, you too?
He has a studio apartment in Seoul.
We're moving in there.
We're heading off to Germany soon
and it's closer to the airport.
No, it's not. It's even farther away.
Plus, there's everything we need
at his apartment.
It's small, but very efficient.
We have to take the elevator
to get to the fridge
in the middle of the night at our house.
That's too far to travel in your own home.
Hey, honey, I get what's going on.
The two of you just want
to be alone with each other.
Yes. I want to enjoy
my alone time with Hae-in.
With your blessing.
Well, if that's what you want,
then go ahead.
Yes, go ahead.
But if you need anything, just call.
[Soo-cheol] Wow.
This feels unfair.
No one's ever treated me unfairly before.
[chuckling] It's refreshing.
[Grace] They're coming back
with their things tomorrow.
I think you should prepare yourself.
Oh, I also met with Cheon Da-hye.
What is this?
You were long gone. Why come back?
Please don't tell Ms. Moh for now.
You idiot. She already knows.
Because she told me you were here.
Seriously?
She knows about what happened. All of it.
About the taxi and you carrying
the golden Buddha in your arms.
-Shit.
-Yeah, she has people watching everything.
What is it? Why are you here?
It must be resentment?
There's no resentment at all.
I felt guilty about it.
Really? You have a conscience?
It turns out I do.
A conscience toward the only one
who truly loved me after all.
Whoa, incredible.
She has feelings for him.
You know how once
you have feelings for someone,
-nobody can talk you out of it?
-[scoffs]
I was so good to her and still she lied.
I guess she believes in biting
the hand that feeds her.
Also, Hong Hae-in?
It looks like she might not be
terminally ill anymore.
Hyun-woo finally found
a hospital in Europe
that is willing to do an operation on her.
They're going to Germany in a week's time.
[pensive music playing]
[music turns ominous]
[gasps] You scared me.
Find which hospital they're using
and what kind of surgery.
-[knocking at door]
-[music fades]
[insects trilling distantly]
-Good night.
-Come in.
You can really see the stars from here.
[Seon-hwa sighs]
Two days ago, I even saw a shooting star.
Oh, yeah?
Before you were born,
I dreamt of a shooting star.
I wanted to have a pretty daughter.
So I wished upon a star.
And that star was named Hae-in.
[emotional music playing]
[inhales]
[sighs] It's difficult
to know how to talk to you sometimes.
We have been fighting
for over two decades.
It feels awkward being kind to you
all of a sudden, you know?
I was so terrible.
[cries] And I'm so sorry.
I regret it all. I will treat you better.
[inhales] This is perfect.
This is okay?
It'd be weird
if you were suddenly kind to me.
You know, we have
a lot of time ahead of us.
You'll get there eventually.
For now, this is good.
All right, then.
So what about if after your surgery,
we practice being kinder?
How does that sound?
[Seon-hwa breathes deeply]
Gosh, I didn't realize
how draining all this conflict
between in-laws could be.
-[music fades]
-Yeah.
I hear it's as stressful
as serving in the military.
It's important for us
to leave our family home.
-If only to protect Da-hye.
-Hmm.
-Oh.
-[sighs] Oh. What's taking so long?
Mom, Dad. I packed your things.
-[Seon-hwa] Oh, you did? Okay.
-Yes.
Traffic is gonna get really bad soon.
-Better get a move on. Let's go.
-[Beom-jun grunts]
[quirky music playing]
I'm sorry for everything.
But I feel the most sorry
about leaving our son behind.
I feel uncomfortable,
as if I had fun at a party,
but didn't help take out the trash.
-Father!
-What are friends for?
-[sighs]
-[Du-gwan] Tell me.
Why are you in such a rush now?
You should at least stay and have lunch.
-Yeah, you're right.
-Hey, no! You've been away for a month.
Go back to the house
and get things organized.
I was gonna make kimchijeon.
-Ah, no
-Kimchijeon?
Have some tasty kimchijeon
and some nice, sweet makgeolli.
How does that sound?
Hold it. Makgeolli? No, you're driving.
-I could drive us instead.
-[Bong-ae chuckles]
Don't worry.
You can always stay another night.
-Yes, absolutely.
-I guess you're right.
[huffs] You both need to learn
how to make an exit.
The whole idea of having a plan
is that you follow it. Isn't it?
-I think this is fine.
-[Soo-cheol sighs]
-[Hyun-woo] We'll get going now.
-Okay.
-[Hyun-woo] Trying to beat the traffic.
-Yeah. Go now and avoid the traffic.
Thank you for everything.
-Take care.
-[Bong-ae sighs]
You stay strong
when you get this operation.
Hae-in, I'll see you again.
[emotional music playing]
[Beom-jun sighs]
[Bong-ae sighs deeply]
Hyun-woo,
protect her.
-Don't worry, I will.
-[Du-gwan] Hey.
[bag rustles]
Your mother,
she made kimchi and pear extract.
-Carry those for them, Du-gwan.
-[Du-gwan] Sure. Yeah, I got it.
-Goodbye, everyone.
-[Beom-jun clears throat]
[Soo-cheol] Take this.
[huffs]
-[elevator beeps]
-[music fades]
You're the single guy on the 11th floor.
-Yes, hello.
-[woman] Hello.
He's not single.
-[quirky music playing]
-Huh?
Yes, I'm his wife.
[gasps] Oh, I see!
Didn't you say you were all by yourself
when you first moved in?
-I guess things change, don't they?
-[Hyun-woo chuckles]
Yes.
-[squealing] Oh! You two are newlyweds!
-[elevator dings]
[chuckling] How wonderful!
You're still on the honeymoon stage?
-[chuckling] Yes, we are.
-[woman giggling]
[Hyun-woo and Hae-in chuckling]
[Hyun-woo exhales]
[door closes, beeps]
[bag thumps]
[music fades]
You know, we've now officially announced
that we're newlyweds.
Wait, "officially announced"?
Yeah, to that woman.
Soon, the rest
of the neighborhood will find out.
Even the part-timers
at the convenience store in the lobby.
"The single guy
has chosen to marry a really pretty girl
and to live with her."
[chuckles]
Hmm. So?
[smacks lips]
I think we should act
like we're newlyweds all the time.
["Heart Flutter" by dori playing]
How's that?
[song continues]
[Hae-in] Typically, newlyweds
are still in the honeymoon stage.
So they're never far apart.
Their hands.
Their feet.
Shoulders.
Whatever.
They're always stuck to each other,
no matter what they're doing.
Sure we're happy now,
but there will be challenges in life.
I just look there? Did you smile?
[Hae-in] Then, all those memories
of the good times
will be like candy in a glass jar
to be savored one by one.
So the bad times don't feel so bad.
That's why it's important
to enjoy ourselves as much as possible now
while we're still happy.
[imperceptible]
[song continues]
[Hyun-woo humming]
-[grunts]
-That looks nice.
[Hae-in] Mmm.
[clanging]
[song ends]
-[clangs]
-[sighs]
Instead of accumulating stocks and shares,
I think from now on,
I'm gonna focus
on accumulating happy memories.
What really matters
to me now is [inhales]
-filling that glass jar. [exhales]
-Hmm.
So why did you come here so often?
-[chuckles] You really like baseball?
-[chuckles]
I enjoy the simplicity of it.
It's just, the ball comes out of that hole
and I try to hit it.
It's that easy.
What do you feel
while you're doing it?
Hmm. I like
[inhales] focusing on one thing
when things get complicated.
Or I think about what's most important,
and I focus on that.
It's all I have my eye on.
So what are you focusing on right now?
[mellow music playing]
Saving you, of course.
[chuckles softly]
That's what I'm focusing on.
That's what's important.
[softly] Now
[coin rattles]
[ball ejects]
[clangs]
[music fades]
It seems like Hong Soo-cheol
decided to stay there a little longer.
And Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in
are staying together.
The only ones moving back in
are the vice president and his wife.
"Vice president"?
Apologies, ma'am.
Once they've come back with their shares,
don't you think he'll try to get
his title as vice president back?
Who says he can?
Soon, they'll realize
they should have stayed away.
[Grace] Hmm.
[elevator dings]
I was on my way to see you.
Can we talk?
I heard Hae-in's
getting surgery in Germany.
[chuckles] Don't worry.
I was going to say that's great.
Ah.
[tense music playing]
-You were?
-Of course.
[inhales] I've always liked Hae-in,
and it's great that
you finally found a solution.
When you're in Germany,
please care for her.
I will.
If you're finished, can I go?
I researched it [sighs]
and found that
the surgery has side effects.
Does Hae-in know about this?
Well, if she knew,
she'd refuse the procedure.
I'm guessing she doesn't know.
What point are you trying to make?
She needs that surgery, so you'd better
keep it a secret.
I want her to live.
That's what's important.
Get rid of their old things.
We'll mail them to Hyun-woo.
[music turns ominous]
[music swells, fades]
You said you were coming here
as a customer today, not the CEO.
So I took a leave of absence.
I did come here as a customer.
-What are you going to buy?
-I'm just looking around.
I thought you hate customers
who don't actually buy anything.
[amusing music playing]
[Hae-in] This isn't a day spa.
You're supposed to buy things here.
Maybe we should get rid of all the chairs.
How about that?
[children yelling]
[sighs]
And there are kids playing around?
Kids can play at a theme park,
not this department store.
[Secretary Na] That's why
we got rid of all the resting areas.
Right. I'll spend money
like a good customer.
What do you want? I'll get it.
I could use lip balm. My lips are dry.
[Hae-in] Hmm.
[music fades]
[Hae-in sighs wearily]
Why am I so tired after spending money?
You're tired? That's concerning.
We can rest for a while.
No. [inhales]
I'm looking around.
This layout is amazing.
There's no time to rest.
We planned on buying lip balm,
but we also bought moisturizer.
I even bought a coat as well.
I planned on getting clothes,
but then I saw the scarves
and the matching gloves
were right next to it.
And those perfumes smell good.
You came up with this whole idea.
You wanted to have full control
over everyone's attention.
So you filled up every space
with pop-up stores.
Well, when I come back,
pop-up stores are history.
-Why?
-It's exhausting.
It feels like I got tricked
even though I spent my own money.
People don't want to feel used.
This is what I'm thinking.
We're gonna get rid of all this
and bring back chairs,
expensive ones that are comfortable.
[purposeful music playing]
Then we'll remodel the lobby plaza
and turn it into a space
where we can host concerts
and where kids can run around and play.
-[Secretary Na] Huh?
-You could take a date here.
Or bring your children
and have a look around the place
when it's cold out.
Sounds nice. I want people
to feel happy when they're here.
Seriously?
Seriously.
You're gonna change your mind
after the surgery.
-Why would I?
-On TV, you see it all the time.
After brain surgery,
people lose their memories,
and then they start to act
totally different.
Not true. In my case, I'll be
getting more time in my life.
I want to spend it as someone
who's better than they were before.
[music fades]
[woman, echoing] Ms. Jeon!
[amusing bluesy music playing]
Isn't that Ho-yeol's mom's voice?
-I'm here now.
-All right.
But why are you behaving like this
with your eyes lowered?
You're making me nervous.
-I would like
-There are no returns.
I'm not doing refunds either.
I'm sorry.
I tried to keep my promise,
but I think it's finally time now.
[imperceptible]
[sighs] All right.
Let me hear the reason for the refund.
-Just explain it.
-Me?
Oh, are you talking about that time
I spent time with the guys
and lied about it?
You little
-[Hyeon-tae hesitating]
-[sighs]
Oh, it's not. It's something else.
Ah, did you find that gaming console?
I bought it secondhand.
You bought a gaming console as well?
-[quirky music playing]
-[Hyeon-tae] Oh, oh.
Please just tell me what this is about.
[cries] He withdrew cash from our savings
and used it to invest in stock.
-[Ho-yeol's mom sniffles]
-[paper rustles]
Only half of it's left.
-[yells, grunts]
-[Hyeon-tae grunts]
He even bought cryptocurrency.
Now it's down just about 90%.
You must be insane! [grunts]
-[crying] I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
-[Bong-ae grunting]
[sighs in exasperation]
Hyeon-suk, I am so ashamed right now.
I will deal with him later,
but for now, I'll give you your refund.
You should go your own way
before it's too late.
[crying] No, please!
Anyways,
when I make kimchi, I'll text you.
You'll like it.
-[cries]
-I'm his mother, but even I'll admit
a beautiful woman like you
is more than he deserves.
-[crying]
-Hyeon-suk, I apologize.
-[sobbing] Oh, Ms. Jeon!
-[Hyeon-tae sobbing]
-I'll pay her, then I'm gonna murder you!
-[mumbles]
-[Bong-ae grunting]
-[Hyeon-tae screaming]
-Honey, honey!
-Just go away!
[music fades]
Good news!
Honey, I'm about to become
a very rich man. Do you hear me right now?
[Beom-jun] Hae-in told me
she bought something
but wasn't able to check in on it.
This building here.
Yes, but I clean every single day,
I water down the signboard,
I disinfect the water tank
-[Beom-jun] Uh-huh.
-and I even wax the floors.
-I'm considering doing a paint job too.
-I see.
It's got a good amount of foot traffic,
and since it's close to a two-lane road,
it's quite visible.
-And the rental is good too.
-Oh, yes, that's right. It's doing okay.
Why do you ask?
Um, are you trying to sell it?
-Oh
-I've discussed it with Hae-in,
and we've decided
to give you this very building.
-[quirky music playing]
-[Hyeon-tae] Oh?
Oh, uh [chuckling] What?!
[sucks teeth] Once I get back in Seoul,
our accountant will let you know
what documents you'll have to prepare.
Oh, hold on. Do you mean for free?
Think of it as a gift.
-[Hyeon-tae, softly] Yeah!
-[Beom-jun] Mmm.
Um, wow. I'm so overwhelmed.
This is unheard of.
I'm going to be the son of a landlord,
so don't break up with me.
-Stop it. We'll talk later. Okay?
-Huh?
You better talk with your father now.
[Hyeon-suk breathing heavily]
-[whacks buttocks]
-Go on.
[music fades]
[Hyeon-tae] So I'm thinking now
of remodeling the first floor
and turning it into a fitness center.
Hey, you're a boxing coach. Stick to that.
Now, Mother.
I've been saying I want to move my salon.
The first floor would be a perfect fit.
Quit butting in.
Do you know how much I clean
and make sure everything is just
I take all those stickers off the stairs.
You use the third floor anyway.
-Hyeon-tae?
-Yes, Mother?
It's time to move your gym.
Uh, why would you joke about
something like that? [chuckles nervously]
Not a joke.
-You're way behind on rent.
-Hold on. I'm trying
-Listen.
-Yes.
[Du-gwan grunts, clears throat]
This is exactly why
we have contracts, son.
-[amusing music playing]
-[inhales] Uh
"If the tenant is overdue
on monthly rent more than once,
the landlord can terminate the contract."
-Take a look at it.
-So what? I have to go?
Not at all.
We're telling you to pay the back rent
in full. It's due on the 10th each month.
-Now wait.
-[groans]
Do I have to? Huh? What about me?
Market price is a million won.
You can move in if you can match that.
Ugh! That's more expensive
than where I'm at now.
That's 'cause it's a great location.
Anyway, your mother and I
look forward to developing
a much stricter, businesslike relationship
with the two of you.
-[music fades]
-As your landlord.
Um, Father, why is it necessary
to have such tension between us?
-I'm telling you.
-[both] Oh.
There were lots of times when
it felt like you two were
challenging our authority as parents.
This is a way to establish your loyalty
by obeying your parents.
-No, it's not.
-Mmm?
-I just want them to pay me rent.
-[amusing music playing]
Oh, really, Bong-ae?
You should've mentioned that. [chuckles]
Anyway, [clears throat]
our Dubong Building
-Huh? Dubong Building?
-Du-gwan and Bong-ae's building.
-[gasps]
-Oh, my God.
-So tacky.
-[Mi-seon] Yeah.
From now on, it doesn't matter
whether you're family or not.
We only care about the rent.
Remember that.
-[both groan]
-[music fades]
It's only October,
and we have Christmas decorations?
Well, you told them to do it.
Me?
The harvest festival is already over.
Christmas is coming soon. So is winter.
We should create a festive mood
so customers will want
to buy their winter jackets here.
That way, we'll be able
to beat the competition.
By preparing for it early
as soon as Halloween's over.
Let's be the very first ones
to sell winter items.
[inhales]
Oh. [sighs]
Is this just a rehearsal?
Yes. The Marketing
has been working on this all day.
[Hae-in] Hmm.
[Christmas bells tinkling]
["Last Chance" by So Soo Bin playing]
Is that snow?
Does anyone else see this?
There's so much of it.
Hang on. I didn't know
they'd have the snow for the rehearsal.
Just a moment.
[Hae-in] Hmm.
[song continues]
Strange, there's snow in the fall.
You hoped it would snow early.
It's what you wanted.
-That's right.
-[song ends]
Looks like what I wished for
may be coming true.
[Hyun-woo chuckles]
That wish for my first love
is going to come true.
[laughs nervously] I
don't think
that's what this snowfall is for.
Why not?
What better sign is there?
[inhales sharply]
You're still thinking about
that jerk? Why?
[Hae-in breathes deeply]
I actually planned never to tell you this
because I thought
it'd make you too full of yourself.
But I'll tell you anyway.
It's my second secret.
-What is it?
-It was bus 372, yes?
-What?
-You rode it
after work to get home, right?
Oh. Uh-huh, uh-huh. That's right.
You always sat by the window
in the very back row.
Yeah, that's true.
-How'd you know?
-How do you think?
[sighs]
I crossed Hangang River quite often
to follow the bus you took after work.
It took me forever
to go back and forth in that traffic.
-Why?
-[sighs]
That man on the bus I mentioned?
The bus was 372, and the guy was you.
Yeah?
How'd you get into college?
["Tell Me It's Not a Dream"
by 10CM playing]
Huh? [gasps]
It was me?
Really? It was me?
Yeah, it was you.
[Secretary Na] They're just the sweetest.
Hey, why'd you bring out the snow
for the rehearsal?
Earlier today, Baek Hyun-woo here
Excuse me. Could you turn on
the snowmaker for the rehearsal?
Uh, we don't really have to do
all that for a rehearsal, do we? [sighs]
Well, um, the Law Department
has to prepare for it.
In case a customer
slips on the floor, you know?
I would like to see for myself
how slippery the floor will be.
[sighing] Oh, well, then we'll do it.
Just make the snowfall
large and beautiful.
Yes. Understood.
-I appreciate it.
-Sure.
[Secretary Na] Something tells me Hyun-woo
did this as an act of love for Hae-in.
[Secretary Kim] You're right.
They divorced, and now they're remarried.
[Hyun-woo laughing uproariously]
How romantic.
Was it really me?
I was your first love?
[song ends]
[birds chirping]
Their flight must have taken off.
Wonder what time they'll arrive.
[ticking]
It's a long way to go.
[groans] I'm glad I prayed every morning.
Hae-in will get better
when she gets that surgery.
Then she and Hyun-woo [inhales]
can live happily ever after.
[dishes clatter softly]
Uh, about that
Baek Hyun-woo said that
Hmm? What did he say?
Once she gets the surgery, Hae-in
[breathing shakily] She could
lose all her memory.
-[somber music playing]
-[dish clatters]
[Bong-ae] What are you talking about?
It's a possible side effect.
But what else can we do?
At least she'll survive.
Oh! [gasps]
[music swells]
[music fades]
[melancholic music playing]
[Beom-jun inhales]
There was no other choice.
I begged Hyun-woo not to say
anything about the side effects.
[breath trembling]
That's [cries, gulps]
That's good, I suppose.
She's got my temper,
and if she would have found out,
we would have never convinced her
to go to Germany.
I feel
[crying]
I feel so sorry for our daughter.
[sobbing]
My poor daughter!
[melancholic music continues]
[rattling]
You all right?
I'm doing fine.
Everything's fine.
[Hae-in sighing]
-[music fades]
-[indistinct chatter]
[ominous music playing]
[woman] So you're headed
to Frankfurt, Germany?
-Yes.
-[mouse clicks]
BODY FOUND NEAR SAMBANG RESERVOIR
IDENTIFIED AS LAND BROKER, MR. PYEON
[music swells]
[music fades]
[sighs]
[Hae-in clears throat]
[Hae-in sighs]
[mellow music playing]
Tell me the third one.
What?
You said you had three secrets to tell me.
-You've only told me two.
-Ah, yeah.
[chuckles softly]
So the secret is
-Yeong-suk.
-Yeong-suk?
-The raccoon that lives on the roof?
-Mmm.
[exhales]
I never got a chance to see her.
However, I would like to see her.
-So what about her?
-I lied.
[laughs]
How could a raccoon live on the roof?
You believe that?
[both laugh]
Wow.
I never figured that out.
I would go on the roof
and I always called for her.
How sweet.
[both chuckle]
[Hae-in chuckling]
[music fades]
Here we are.
[inhales sharply]
-Hae-in.
-What?
There's something
I haven't told you either.
What is it?
What?
What did the doctor say?
Did they say they can't do the surgery?
That's not it.
Once you
get the surgery,
it's highly likely
that you'll lose your memory.
What are you saying?
What memory?
You could lose
all your memories.
Everyone you know,
everywhere you've been,
every single thing you've experienced.
You would forget everything.
But still, in spite of all that,
this surgery is the only way
you'll be able to live.
So
I have to
decide right now?
If I get the operation,
I'll lose my memory.
But I'll die if I don't?
What kind of answer
are you expecting me to give?
["Hold Me Back" by Heize playing]
-Hae-in.
-Yeah, what is it, Hyun-woo?
Just forget it.
Forget these last few days.
[Hae-in breathing heavily]
Let go. Let go of me.
Listen to me.
Just stop and listen.
I won't watch you die.
You have to live.
You're going to live.
Please,
let's survive this.
Hmm?
[song continues]
[song ends]
[Hyun-woo grunts softly]
[exhales sharply]
[clears throat]
Hi, Hong Hae-in.
I am Baek Hyun-woo.
I am your husband.
You must be in such a shock right now.
Well, me too.
You don't remember a thing,
and now a total stranger
is saying he's your husband.
-[emotional music playing]
-[crying softly]
Actually,
it's a good thing.
You were You were very, very sick.
Yet you survived.
[sniffles]
Uh
I figure you're curious
about what kind of person you were.
And I know it's sad
that you can't remember.
But don't worry.
[voice shaking] Because I
I haven't forgotten.
I promise to
explain everything.
Ah.
[sniffles] Ah, I shouldn't cry.
[chuckles, sniffles]
This is the first time you'll see me.
[sniffles, sighs]
[exhales]
And I want to let you know
that even if I'm no longer
your idea of a perfect man, I'm sorry.
However, we can't just end things.
You and I once made a promise.
And there's no refund
with a change of heart.
Even if it's not working
or we hate each other,
even
[breath trembling]
if we have to
start over.
Even then,
I'm sticking with you.
That was our promise.
[breathes shakily]
Now that you're healed,
we'll do exciting things
as well as completely ordinary things
together every day.
We'll fill your glass jar
with our life together.
That's what I want.
And we can do it.
Nothing can come between us.
I [cries]
[sniffles]
I love you, Hae-in.
[music fades]
I will love you
[sniffles]
always.
["Love You With All My Heart"

QUEEN OF TEARS
[song continues]
[Hae-in] I remember it so clearly.
The moon, the wind.
[Hyun-woo] I'm begging you,
don't pray about leaving.
Or else those people
you call your family will get hurt.
[Soo-cheol] Da-hye!
[Hae-in] I lived my life as myself.
That's how I'll die.
[Hyun-woo] I won't let that happen.
[Beom-jun] That's how he found
the hospital willing to do this surgery.
[Hyun-woo] I'm gonna protect this woman.
[crying] Stop doing this to me!
Stop making me want to keep on living.
[Hyun-woo] Hae-in!
