Believe in God's mercy
and confess your sins honestly.
Father.
I must be possessed by Satan.
Pardon?
What's happening to me can't be explained otherwise.
My stomach's lurching several times a day
and my head's throbbing.
I've never had insomnia before,
but I suddenly can't sleep.
Why don't you tell me what's been tormenting you so much?
My heart's pounding
toward someone it shouldn't.
Regardless of my will,
I keep watching someone I shouldn't,
and even when I know it's wrong,
my feet keep moving toward her.
I'm not sure
why I keep caring about her.
And how I ended up
having feelings for her.
I thought you hated rain.
Ji-han?
This is surely a problem.
There's no way that I'd voluntarily enter that sinful path!
Father.
Can we
do it right now?
Do what?
-An exorcism. -Exorcism?
Yes.
Whatever you feel,
it's not a sin.
Even if it's not, I don't want it.
Avoiding and ignoring your feelings
will only bring more confusion.
Then what am I supposed to do?
You should
look into your heart properly
and
choose
the right path.
Don't worry.
Then,
let us pray for you together.
Dear Lord,
a lost lamb
desperately seeks your wisdom today.
Even in times of hardship...
Make her disappear from my heart.
Take her away.
Please, I beg you.
Please!
-Thank you. -Enjoy.
Ji-han.
What?
We can use it together.
Jeez. He's so stubborn.
He never listens to me.
He got drenched.
I wonder if he's okay.
LEE JI-HAN
No.
Who cares if he caught a cold? It has nothing to do with me.
I didn't tell him to get rained on.
He threw the umbrella.
-Honey. -Yes?
-How long does it take to Jeonju? -Jeonju?
A few hours, maybe? Why?
Well,
we should've just gone there if we knew the bibimbap would take so long.
What do you mean?
What?
Oh, gosh.
Who's she talking to?
She's an amazing actress.
It's not easy to get absorbed at home. Right?
Right.
I guess it's fortunate that she decided to act, right?
Right.
-She found her path. -Right.
But my bibimbap got lost.
Honey, let's be patient.
She'll be gone soon anyway.
Right?
She's crazy.
Right.
It's not too late. I just have to take the right path.
NA A-JUNG
Are you testing me, God?
There's no use showing me the wrong path.
I've made up my mind.
Where are you going?
That's not the way. It's this way.
I know.
He obviously didn't.
A hundred and seven...
A hundred and eight...
I'll lose my knees trying to get rid of A-jung.
I've done enough. I'm sure either God or Buddha
will get rid of her for me.
What?
What's this?
What the...
There's no use praying.
I can see her everywhere in videos.
"How do get over
your crush."
It's simple. Just ask them out.
If you get rejected, you will get over them.
They're saying it as if it's so easy.
I'm doing this so I won't embarrass myself.
Fold 1,000 paper cranes and wish to forget them.
It's classic, but it works.
Are you kidding?
How can I fold 1,000? I'll grow old and die before I'm done.
Deoksugung stone wall road is a mecca for breakups.
Walk there and break up
with your crush by yourself.
Everything's superstition.
What are you doing?
Are you sleeping?
If you have nothing to say, go.
I have a lot to say.
I just don't know what to say first.
I want to ask if you're okay,
but I'm not sure if I should ask
about you catching a cold or how you feel after being in the rain.
And I want to apologize,
but I don't know where to start.
Not taking care of you, or saying I'd cut ties...
But I know one thing.
I'm not a good brother to you.
Just give it time.
I'm sure Grandpa will
acknowledge you soon.
And
you'll accept A-jung soon too.
I sent your clothes to the dry cleaner's. And I brought tea, so drink it.
I'm going out.
I must be crazy.
How will I face Do-han now?
EPISODE 6
Are you all right?
What a surprise.
You worrying about me?
Thanks, but there's no need.
I tried not to,
but seeing you makes me worried.
-That's it? -I realized again
that I can never take your place.
That position seems to come with things I can't handle or understand.
Right.
Then just take it.
You'll understand everything over time.
I don't get why that reporter is still bothering us.
Or why you're still involved.
It seemed like it would only get worse.
I don't want to get involved.
No, you're just scared that you'll be the victim of that reporter.
If you're scared, don't run away.
Sit in that seat and gain power.
That's how you protect yourself and your people.
I'll get going.
We should pull your wedding forward.
-What? -I talked to Mr. Kim.
So set a date for a meeting with A-jung's family.
Wait.
Why so suddenly?
It's already started.
That reporter's begun digging around you and A-jung.
What?
Isn't this why you asked Mr. Kim to prepare a press release
about A-jung?
PROFILE YANG JI-AE
What's the point of working so hard?
I'm doing this again because no one's calling me.
And I can't write stuff like "Palace lady 1" or "Colleague 3."
How do I know if I'm number 1, 2, or 3?
My mom told me to quit acting next year
if I continue on like this.
She'll get me a studio so I can continue pottery.
Right, you were popular in your ceramics department.
So I broke my savings account to shoot a new profile.
I won't need money if it doesn't work out.
Wow. How immature and reckless.
Once you get older like us, it'll all get boring.
So enjoy it now.
Yes, enjoy it now.
You're having fun too.
You're getting ready to marry,
and you're seeing someone.
You're seeing a guy?
It's nonsense. I'm not seeing anyone.
DO-HAN
Hey, Do-han.
Right now?
Okay. I'll head to your studio.
Sure.
I thought you were doing well after abandoning me,
but your voice sounds like you're not.
Don't say that. I never abandoned you.
I helped you go with Do-han.
I told you, I'm on your side.
That means
I want to be by your side, at least when you're having a hard time.
I'm actually regretting it. I should've gone with you then.
Why work out at this hour?
There's the saying,
"a healthy mind in a healthy body."
I haven't been taking care of myself lately.
That's random. Are you ill?
I almost was,
but I discovered it early.
What? Really? What is it? It's not serious, is it?
It's kind of
like an infection from a small amount of bacteria.
Don't worry, I'll get better soon.
I'm doing my best
to cure myself.
There's a guest for you.
What's that face? I'm hurt.
We almost became family once.
But we didn't. We're not close enough for sudden visits.
And you're
close enough to visit my mom with Grandpa on her death anniversary?
I hear you're helping with the shopping mall because you like my younger brother.
But I have two.
Which one is it? I need to know to get rid of him.
Seung-a.
I always thought you were smart and meticulous.
Thanks for the compliment, but we have no time to waste.
But I guess I was wrong.
You got caught.
I know you're the one who sent that reporter.
I must've been mistaken about you.
If I knew there was no need to be polite to each other,
I should've come to you and told you
that I knew everything.
And I'm telling you instead of telling the chairman
because this is the last warning I can give you.
A warning not to hurt your brother anymore.
Who do you mean?
Is it Do-han or Ji-han?
Both of them.
Whoever it is, it'll hurt Ji-han.
So it's Ji-han.
I see.
She's leaving now.
Aren't you busy? Was I mistaken about that too?
Come to think of it,
I haven't repaid you for this.
You told me honestly that you found out about me.
So I'll be honest too.
Since I know how you feel,
I'd feel too guilty to hide it.
I'll send you a text,
so check it.
So rude, not even getting up from her seat.
LJ DEPARTMENT STORE CHOI SEUNG-A SENT 8 IMAGES
What?
Hey, door!
It's me.
Why are you being shy?
When did he change it?
Is it a fingerprint lock?
He must've changed his lock.
Right.
He must've changed it.
Just in case you're suspicious,
I'm not a thief or anything.
I'm a friend of this place's owner.
-But-- -It's you, right?
The one Do-han's marrying.
Oh, do you know him?
I was curious about you.
It was nice meeting you. See you next time.
What was that?
So does he know Do-han or what?
He looked really shady.
Sorry I'm late.
I guess you're no longer desperate.
How could you make the lead actress wait out here?
Sorry.
What's that look?
I know that face.
You make it just before asking a big favor.
What is it?
Is something wrong?
What? A meeting with my family?
Grandpa already set up a team for our marriage.
He wants to set a date right away.
I'm already stressed thinking about it.
Do we really have to do that?
Sorry.
But it might be best to get it over with quickly.
You saw what happens when reporters start digging.
There will be gossip and scandals in no time.
It seems like
I keep getting additional scenes.
Sorry about that too.
Let's do it next week.
Really? You sure?
Of course. We have to do it anyway.
Even if it's fake, it's still a marriage. I thought of it too easily.
I should've planned everything and made preparations beforehand.
Did you just realize that? It's too late.
But I'll do better now.
I'll get the best for you.
All right. I'm finally getting treated like a lead actress.
Let's do this, then.
Let's do this.
-Thanks for today. -Yeah.
I should've become a writer. I didn't know I was so good.
-Get inside. -Bye.
Oh, right. Do-han.
We didn't discuss the most important issue.
What?
What's your brother up to these days?
Ji-han?
I mean, he really hates me.
He'll throw a fit if he finds out about this.
I'll talk to him again.
No, I'll talk to him.
I need him to like me to solve this.
Right, but...
Will you be okay?
Why are you worried?
I always solved everything for you.
Let's just resolve this the simplest way.
-Bye, then. -Bye.
Tell me how it goes.
-And call me if anything happens. -Okay.
You want some, Ji-oh?
Here you go.
Thank you.
You too.
We're meeting Do-han's family.
What's that solemn tone?
Of course we are.
A family meeting
is the first step to getting married.
Next week.
A-jung.
You should've told us beforehand!
You can't just set a date without any warning.
It just happened. There's nothing to prepare. You just have to show up.
Still, we should buy some clothes and shoes.
-Shoes? -I only had one pair
of formal shoes, but you threw it away.
I should get a decent handmade pair.
You're right.
Then I should get some skin care and go on a diet too. I gained weight.
You're not the one getting married.
Skin care? Diet? There's no need.
A-jung.
The meeting is like a battle between the families.
If you don't look decent at the meeting,
you already lose from the beginning.
Yes, they might look down on you.
The way we dress and look at the meeting
will decide whether or not you get looked down on by his family
after you get married!
Just show your usual selves.
Overdoing it would just make us look more tacky.
She's right.
-By the way... -Yes?
Will I meet that guy at the meeting?
Who?
The guy who bought my mat at our house.
-The guy who bought your mat? -Yes.
Are you feeling okay? You got drenched that day.
Doesn't he have fingers?
Is it so hard to send one reply?
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
-Here. -Thanks.
I'll do that
Here.
-The file you mentioned. -Oh, yes.
Here's the material.
-Thank you. -Sure.
It seems like you're doing all the work these days, Mr. Lee.
Right. We saw that you skipped lunch
and even emptied the trashcans.
It's fine.
I want to be of help to LJ.
You really seem to care a lot about this company.
It's really professional.
Professional?
He's just being foolish.
The higher-ups won't notice your hard work.
I bet they don't even know our names.
I sent you that sales summary you mentioned
through email.
Check it.
Tell me what it is now.
What's going on?
What do you mean?
So much is going on that I don't know which one you mean.
Don't play dumb.
I've known you for a long time.
Something happened
that day at the memorial hall, right?
I'm right.
What on earth happened there?
Why are you doing this to me?
I didn't do anything.
You really don't know?
You're bullying me every day under the pretense of being productive.
Breathe in.
And exhale.
Raise your bottom and do the child's pose.
You call me to a yoga center every morning
and torture me, going on about miracle mornings.
LANGUAGE INSTITUTE
Can you read aloud?
There are some roads you shouldn't cross.
I don't like her.
There are some roads you shouldn't cross.
I don't like her.
And you make me attend a language school after work,
going on about self-improvement.
-That's not all. -What are you doing? Let's go.
Hey.
-Hello. -You even follow me around
on the weekends when I'm enjoying my hobbies!
Do you see these bags under my eyes? I can't do this any longer.
Leave me out of your productive life project or whatever it is!
Oh, my.
Mom, there's nothing to eat at home.
What's that?
We got this for A-jung's first birthday.
We didn't give this during the IMF
or sell it when your dad had a hard time with his shop.
To give it to A-jung when she marries. The day's finally coming.
That's so unfair.
You didn't give me anything.
Why only A-jung?
-I knew it. Don't you remember? -What?
You used up everything for your trip to Europe.
-Anyway, Mom, -Yes?
will our in-laws let us live in this house?
You think they'll make us sell it for the dowry?
No, I mean, they're a conglomerate family.
They could buy us a house as a gift
or set up a big shop for us.
You know.
Don't say that to A-jung, even as a joke.
We're not selling her to them.
You marrying Tae-min
and A-jung marrying Do-han are the same to me.
Still, we should seem decent
so we don't have people whispering.
I mean, do you even have anything to wear for the family meeting?
-I do. -What?
The one I bought recently.
Come on, Mom. That's what'll make her feel small.
I told you.
What we wear and how we behave at the meeting
will decide whether or not
A-jung gets looked down on by our in-laws.
I...
I didn't think that far.
A family meeting?
I guess you really are getting married now.
I know, right?
I guess I really am.
By the way, where will the wedding be? LJ Hotel? Many rich families do it abroad.
I'm not sure. I wish I could just
register the marriage and skip the wedding.
But if we have to do it, I'd like to have a simple wedding in a buckwheat field
-with noodles... -Are you crazy?
Don't be ridiculous.
The most important part of a wedding
is the food.
There will be important guests at the wedding,
and you'd give them noodles?
Get a grip!
I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it if this gets too big.
Handle what? Just don't divorce him.
And there's a guy I can't handle.
You know,
the guy who came saying he was your fan.
-Welcome. -Hi.
That's the guy I told you about.
I heard you're a fan.
Oh, right. I said that.
And you come here often.
Yes, I work right nearby.
You mean LJ.
I get what's going on.
Where's Ji-han?
We have new textbooks. Pass them around.
What's this?
Skipping class is the best when you don't want to study.
-One. -Top charts.
One, one.
Memories of you
Our past love
Becomes a thorn
Digging into me
Even if I beg it to leave
Canceled.
Why did she have to take
so many jobs?
Excuse me. Can you take a photo of us?
-Sure. -Okay.
-Thank you. -Sure.
All right, then.
One, two, three.
-One more. -Smile.
One, two.
What?
What? Did he just treat me like a ghost?
Sorry about that.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
That ghost has chased me into my home.
And even says hi.
You're early. You came home late these days.
Oh, we're preparing for our family meeting.
What?
Damn it.
What was that?
Is he mad at me?
-He didn't say anything. -No,
I know him. He's mad at me.
I know him better than you.
He's quiet.
Let's keep going.
Well...
Oh, right. They suggested
we do it at Grandpa's house. What do you think?
A-jung.
-Hey. -Right.
So we'll have it...
I think we're done.
Do you want something to eat?
Okay, I'll go check.
I wonder if Ji-han ate.
I'll go and ask him.
Did you have dinner?
If you didn't, join us.
No thanks.
You saw me earlier at the park, right?
Why are you ignoring me as if you can't see me?
And why did you ignore my texts?
Are you angry about us having a family meeting?
I won't mess it up like I did last time at your Grandpa's.
So
don't worry.
Why would I worry about you?
-What? -You don't need to worry either.
I'm not attending it.
If you're done, leave.
I don't want to talk to you at home too.
What about Ji-han?
He says he won't eat.
And that he's not attending the family meeting.
What?
He's not coming.
Let me talk to him.
It's fine.
It's better than having to worry about him messing it up.
This is for the best.
Honey.
I feel uneasy somehow.
Is it right to support Do-han's marriage?
I don't know. I feel uneasy too.
Grandfather had good wedding dates picked and made a guest list himself.
I feel like we're losing against them.
You should've asked for something when we married.
You idiot, why didn't you get anything?
I gave you everything.
So I can't do anything without you.
So what?
You want some back?
Will that be enough?
Even if you give it all back, it won't be.
You called us here. Why are you picking a fight?
So what?
What's your plan, then?
Should we worry about Do-han, who Grandfather supports?
Or Ji-han, who Yoon Chae-won supports?
My head hurts. Why is everything so complicated?
Does your head hurt whenever something bothers you?
What's that tone?
You're being really rude.
No need to worry about them.
We can get rid of both.
Is that so easy?
-You have a plan? -Yes.
You said your head hurts.
Why don't you think about it yourselves?
Good luck.
She must be sensitive before the wedding.
-Right? -No.
She was talking to that last time. I'm sure there's a story behind it.
Do you get paid more if you work so hard?
Chae-won.
What's the occasion?
Let's go.
This is what you meant by relieving stress?
I thought you'd take me on a ride on the highway.
We have that too.
Over there.
And what's wrong with this? This is a safe way to relieve stress.
When I was in high school, you took me to an arcade and said,
"You have to relieve stress right away. But in a safe way."
"It's legal to shoot fire at your opponent here, so enjoy it."
I was cute back then too.
Darn it.
One more game.
I kind of
feel better getting hit.
Right,
I deserve it.
What? Did you just curse me?
Yes, I did.
So keep hitting me.
All right.
How's your headache? Are you feeling better now?
I'm not sure if it got better or worse.
-You never go easy on me. -I already did.
I didn't even come to cheer you up today.
I feel like I'm the one who lost.
-What? -It's nothing.
Thanks for today.
That thing I told you...
About a bacterial infection.
I thought it'd heal quickly,
but it kept festering.
I laughed a lot thanks to you.
Like the old days.
That's good.
Speaking of which,
you had a crush on me back then, right?
-Your first love? -Why suddenly ask that?
So I wasn't?
I mean...
I was just a kid.
How dare I like you?
Are the sparks still there?
What?
Can I make those feelings come back?
Can I try?
I keep having things I want to ask you,
but I'm not sure if it's okay to worry or to ask you.
I keep censoring myself. It's not like me.
So I want to get that point clear.
Ji-han.
I'm helping with the shopping mall because of you, not Do-han.
What?
You still don't get it?
I like you, Ji-han.
What...
You what?
Think about it.
I won't wait long.
What's wrong?
You love mango shaved ice.
I just don't have an appetite. I'm too cold.
Too cold?
Have you lost it?
I keep getting the chills
ever since I met Ms. Na.
I can't believe I betrayed Mr. Lee.
I guess this is how it'd feel to spill a secret after torture.
Were you tortured by Ms. Na?
What torture?
Eye torture.
What?
She stared at me like this. With those huge eyes.
Then I'm always being tortured. The chairman's eyes are bigger.
She wouldn't tell him, would she?
If he finds out he got betrayed by me, he'll kill me.
No.
From his current state,
he won't even have the strength.
You're home late. You seem busy these days.
Yes.
I have a lot of work.
You're really not coming?
Let's talk later.
I'm too tired now.
Let's see what happened.
Who's this?
Wow!
This is a house?
Yes, it is.
It's just someone's house.
No need to feel small. Hold your heads up.
This way.
Come on.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Welcome. -Hello.
-I'm Hyun Dae-ho, Do-han's grandfather. -Hello.
-You brought your kid. -Hello.
Hi.
Thank you for coming.
I know it must've been
uncomfortable coming to my house when it's our first time meeting.
It's all right.
It's cool to see the kind of house we only saw on TV.
All right, then.
We can talk slowly over dinner.
This way, please.
-This way. -Right.
-All right. -Here.
-Have a drink. -Sure.
It's nice to meet you.
And thank you for deciding
to let your precious daughter marry my grandson.
No, don't say that.
She still has a lot to learn.
-Take good care of her. -Of course.
Here.
Once the conversation begins, this will be our first crisis.
-Money? -Yes.
If it doesn't go well, a conflict would start from there.
I think my mom and dad will do okay regarding that.
What shall we do about the wedding gifts and dowry?
Well, you don't need to worry about that.
Why don't we omit such formalities?
Still, shouldn't we prepare something?
-The adults are talking. -What?
It won't even make a difference.
There's no point doing such stuff.
-But the problem is Su-jung. -What?
She never backs down from a fight.
What did you just say?
What?
I didn't say anything.
-Enjoy. -Sure.
We decided to skip the gifts and dowry.
And we already got wedding rings.
Well done.
Why didn't you tell us?
By the way, what do you do for a living?
I write novels.
Wow, which books?
I haven't published anything yet.
Then anyone who golfs is a golfer,
and our housekeeper's a chef.
What's with you?
Min-woong's a problem too.
I'm sure he'll mock someone who seems like an easy target.
Really?
It'll be my brother-in-law.
What do we do?
-Does he get hurt easily? -No.
I meant we should
worry about Min-woong.
He may not look that way,
but he's actually crazy.
I want to ask, when will you
stop causing trouble?
Trouble?
I've actually bought some of your company's stocks.
But I almost lost everything a few times.
Whenever the price started going up,
various scandals broke out.
-Drunk driving too. -That was her.
Sorry.
-Anyway-- -It wasn't me.
There were big scandals like that.
So I just
want to know when you'll stop causing trouble like that.
If you could tell me when, it would really help my stock trading.
-Sure. -Thank you.
Go on. Eat. You look hungry.
-Eat up. -Right.
Oh, Ms. Seo.
And once we announce the marriage,
we'll send out a press release we've prepared.
We'll keep A-jung's identity hidden,
so there's no need to worry.
What?
Why would you hide her identity?
-A-jung... -It would be troublesome
if we reveal everything about her.
There may be some inconveniences for both our families,
and it might affect our stocks.
She's right.
We shouldn't harm your economic activities.
-Right. -Right.
Enough.
We're the ones who are lacking,
not our daughter.
Ma'am, we didn't mean that.
Then why would you
-hide her identity? -Mom.
There's nothing wrong with her.
-Ms. Seo. -We want to protect her.
Ji-han.
Once it's announced,
the media will harass her.
But A-jung won't get hurt,
because she told me
that she doesn't care what strangers say.
But it seemed
like she couldn't see those around her get hurt.
So you don't need to worry.
It doesn't matter what others think.
You know who she really is.
Even if we don't know,
she knows herself
that she's a good person.
Right.
He's right, ma'am.
We'll treat your daughter just as preciously as you did.
I apologize if it made you uncomfortable.
Eat up, everyone.
-Do-han. -Yes?
-Get the car. -Okay.
-Oh, no. -It's fine.
We already called a car.
-Let's meet again. -Yes.
-Thank you. -Of course.
Bye.
-Goodbye, then. -Bye.
Let's go.
-Watch the stairs. -Come here, Ji-oh.
Let's go, Ji-oh.
-Mom. -What?
I thought he was just bullying her,
-but he was nice. -A-jung.
You're right.
About the press release...
It's okay.
No need to explain. And I heard everything earlier.
A-jung!
We should get going.
Go on without me.
I have something to do.
-Okay, then. -Bye.
-You're going, right? -Yes.
-Good job. -You too.
You answer my calls now.
Let's meet.
You know
I can't contain my curiosity.
Why did you come to the meeting?
Isn't it weird not to?
I'm Do-han's family.
Right.
It'd be weird,
but you said you wouldn't come.
Did you come to complain about that?
No, that's not it, but...
But I thought I should
say this to you face to face.
I was bothered when you said you wouldn't come,
and I was happy you came and grateful you took my side.
It's fine.
I didn't do it to hear that from you.
But in the end,
you made me say that.
I've thought about it,
and I think you can hurt me now.
Aren't we involved in each other's lives now?
Why did you say you wouldn't come
if you were going to?
I didn't want to see you.
Why the change of heart, then?
I thought I should still see you.
Since it's over, just be honest.
You came to ruin it, didn't you?
I thought you were just shameless, but you're clueless too.
Didn't you know? I lack a lot of stuff.
I have no money, no conscience,
and no patience.
So answer my question.
What made you change your mind?
I think I can see
the right path for me now.
Attending the meeting
meant I'd accept it.
Accept what?
You and Do-han.
I hope you live happily
with my brother.
EPILOGUE
Let's be happy.
It's nothing special.
My brother and A-jung
are nesting in my house.
The person I'm marrying coincidentally meets someone I know?
Don't you dare touch A-jung.
"Marriage contract"?
-Are you crazy? -What's wrong?
I should do this much for my sister-in-law.
Why do you keep calling me sister-in-law?
Brother-in-law?
Let's keep our places as in-laws.
Are you really okay with me marrying Do-han?
