Episode 23
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Even if you weren't okay, you wouldn't say so.
I'm really okay.
Just wait a little bit.
This time, I really... even if I must leave home,
I'm going to take care of you.
What's that supposed to mean?
The evil witch, it's not her personality to do nothing.
She's definitely going to do something.
I'm just saying that I'm preparing to do what I need to do.
Don't be like that.
What?
Whatever it is, it should be for your benefit.
I don't like you taking care of me.
Why don't you like that?
You're my woman, so obviously I should take care of you.
Someone taking care of me, watching over me.
I don't like being dependent like that.
Even now, I've already received so much from you, F4 guys and Jae-kyung.
It may not be much, but I want us to be equals,
with me pulling my own weight.
Do you know?
What?
That you don't have any cute side in you.
Hey...
What's the matter?
Chan, what's the matter?
Little kid, what's the matter?
What?!
Is this the time to be laughing?
You... that...
Wait, you must wait. Come here.
Chan, what is that?
Can you see that?
You can't see it, can you?
Jun-pyo, put me on your shoulders.
What?
Your shoulders.
Having fun?
He's gonna fall off!
I definitely won't fall off!
They're really cute.
It must now be spring. The weather's letting up.
It's strange.
What is?
Right now, I feel as if I'm in a scene from a half-remembered dream.
I'm just saying.
This little kid is very heavy.
Oh, Chief Jung.
Young Master. You should return now.
Madam President is looking for you.
Go on!
Chan...
♫ Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. ♫
♫ Beloved Yi-Jung, happy birthday to you. ♫
Happy birthday, Yi-Jung!
Hurry up. You're supposed to blow out the candles and make a wish.
This is your present.
"One road, one chance"? What's it supposed to mean?
In this world, the one-and-only destiny.
Ga-eul!
Yi-Jung, I found it.
What?
I said I finally found it.
"I love you" ... "Yi-Jung"
That day, the sunrise was at 7.
The moment the sun rose was the only time you could see it...
That message.
Idiot...
Even when you knew you were being an idiot.
Even when you knew that better than anyone!
If you set me this difficult question, what am I supposed to do?
Yi-Jung!
I'd like it if you came.
The wind...
Once it leaves, it can't return to that place again, Yi-Jung.
Do it again! Do it again!
I'm telling you to do it again!
Yesterday, there were many families out enjoying the splendid weather.
In the city zoo where flowers are starting to bloom,
many were enjoying family outings...
Sir, are you truly thinking of burying it like this?
Even though they make excuse that was by an insane follower,
No matter what, it won't bring these two back to life.
I can't show Ji-hoo that the death of his father and mother is used as a political warfare.
Sir.
All my life, I had no fear about what I believed was right.
However, even that was arrogance.
I realized it after what happened to them.
Because of my fear of losing you as well,
not being able to see you was my punishment.
As if your grandfather's mistake wasn't enough, you carried that hurt and lived on.
Now, even if I die, I have no more wishes, child.
The foundation and the clinic.
Can I entrust them to you?
To cure heart by art, illness by medicine,
that was your mother and father's desire.
Grandfather, I'm not yet...
Come on over here! The spicy fish stew is all done!
Oh, that girl's voice is quite loud.
Because of your voice, I think that all the fish will scatter.
Ah, this girl!
Well, then.
- Is it done cooking? - Yes.
- Here. - Well, then.
Ta-da!
How is it?
Oh, you! So to not let the fish go to waste, I'll eat it.
Ji-hoo, hurry. Try some.
It's amazing, it actually tastes like your mother's.
Okay, you two! Look over here.
One! Two! Three!
I have good news and bad news.
Which do you want to hear first?
Ah, I know Ga-eul's style.
The bad one first?
There's a chance that I won't be as good as before.
This hand...
I'm not sure whether the God of Pottery will choose me one more time or not.
No, that won't happen. It won't be like that.
But what exactly is the good news?
That, even still, I'm gonna keep doing it.
I'm not going to avoid it anymore.
Once one gives up, how much one regrets it...
Because of someone, I came to know it well.
Yi-Jung...
Ga-eul, do you want to try it once?
My wanting to hear the bad news first,
how did you know that?
Because all nice girls want happy endings.
I may definitely be cool, but I'm not a nice guy.
Throw away the delusion that all nice girls want nice guys.
Ah, Mom.
What?
Is that true?
I understand.
I'll be right there.
I've worked with effort on it since I built the foundation.
A lot of people worked really hard.
Jan-di, take a look around.
Yes!
It's a great scale, isn't it?
Yes, it's very wide.
Oh, what's that, Grandfather?
Those are all meeting rooms.
Just a second, just a second.
Yes, it's me.
Wait, is that true?
But who exactly?
How did this happen?
No!
No matter what happens, we must protect the foundation!
No!
Grandfather! Grandfather!
Grandfather!
- Oh, Grandfather! - Grandfather!
Grandfather!
Grandfather, your medicine, your medicine!
The medicine... medic...
Grandfather!
Grandfather...
Ji-hoo!
Hospital! Hospital!
I said, hospital!
He didn't want you to know.
He said that if he was careful, he'd be fine.
Let's go and get Grandfather's things.
Are the preparations going well?
Madam President.
I don't know about other things, but the Suwon Foundation, if you could reconsider...
I'm not doing it because I'm desirable for a foundation like that.
You know better than that.
What do you intend to do?
This time, I'll have to pull out the roots.
Fortunately, that young child cherishes something more than money.
I have a proposal.
A proposal?
The broken engagement...
I feel bad about that.
However,
it's not as if things with JK Group are completely over.
I'll do my best to do what I can.
Trust me on this.
So?
Whether you have me followed or locked up,
I'll accept everything.
Except...
Except?
Jan-di...
leave her alone.
If I don't do anything to Geum Jan-di, will you be satisfied?
Yeah.
Then I'll promise.
I won't lift a finger against Geum Jan-di.
In return,
don't you forget what you just said.
Don't worry.
Now isn't the time to play around like that.
Grandma?
Do you still not know your mother?
It's not time to feel at ease.
You can't even protect your woman.
So how will you carry the great Shinhwa Group?
I didn't raise you to be such a pathetic man.
Just because you were born male doesn't automatically make you a man.
Becoming stronger from losing, yielding even though it's unfair,
running away even though it's shameful,
overcoming a weak self-confidence over time.
That's how one becomes a real man.
Do you know that?
Grandma!
Thank you.
Ji-hoo - first day of kindergarten
Ji-hoo - Entrance day of elementary school
Our Ji-hoo - day he became a college student
Ga-eul.
Didn't you say that your father worked at his company for 20 years?
And it hasn't been that long since promotion to be general manager.
How can they suddenly order just your father to retire...
Why did that happen?
Is that true?
She gave pressure to one of Shinhwa's subcontractors to fire Ga-eul's father.
Looks like it.
After the way the wedding turned out, I thought she was being too quiet.
So then, Ji-hoo's situation is no joke either.
What about Ji-hoo?
President Kang seems to be making a move against Ji-hoo's foundation.
What?
The opening of a new art center, built in Song Do city.
Then...
All this is...?
It's just her way of getting rid of Geum Jan-di.
Grandfather.
Jan-di, you came just in time.
Why?
Just now, did you want to see me?
This girl, what an assumption!
Jan-di, now that you're here, take this boy out for a bit.
This pole-length boy stays by my side and won't budge.
Well, it's frustrating.
Why aren't you two leaving?
With the long-awaited spring weather...
These pathetic young people.
Aren't you going to leave already?
Let's go.
The opening of new art center built in Song Do city.
Then...
Just her way of getting rid of Geum Jan-di.
The desire to protect something...
I never thought I'd have it.
But after meeting you,
it kept coming up, over and over.
Grandfather, the clinic.
The foundation.
And...
You.
Now that Ji-hoo has Grandfather with him, it's really a relief.
Ji-hoo, you don't know, do you?
That you were always like the sunshine to me
Goodbye, Geum Jan-di's honorary firefighter.
"A dandelion lives as a dandelion."
"And a forget-me-not lives as a forget-me-not."
"A plantain lives as a plantain."
"A plantain that lives on the rough earth can only grow toughly,"
"But on an oily earth, it grows in a different style with deep meaning and sturdiness."
"No matter what, I don't lose my identity and I continue to live as a plantain."
"I learn it there."
"That I need to live like myself."
Sir.
I don't think I'll be able to come here anymore.
I wanted to see you get better.
And I had a lot of books that I wanted to read to you.
I'm sorry.
I'm good at enduring hunger.
And I'm also good at withstanding the cold.
But there's one thing that I absolutely cannot endure.
People that I love getting hurt because of me.
It isn't something that can be solved by me trying my hardest.
Isn't it a bit unfair this time?
Sir, I'm not running away.
You know that, right, Sir?
You must get healthy even if I'm not around, okay?
President.
Geum Jan-di is here.
She came sooner than I thought. Let her in.
Hello.
- Hello. - Jan-di!
Are things going well?
Why are you here? Is it okay if you just come like this?
If I don't die, I'll just keep pushing.
Geum Jan-di, fighting!
We're always at Jan-di's side.
Hello, ma'am!
Welcome, miss Geum Jan-di.
Why are you like this?
I'm Geum Jan-di. Senior's apprentice.
You're this household's guest now.
But what are you here for?
I'm here for Gu Jun-pyo?
Young Master Jun-pyo?
I'm here to meet Gu Jun-pyo.
Young Master is in his room.
Yes.
Jun-pyo, let's play!
Gu Jun-pyo, let's play!
Now I'm even hearing Geum Jan-di's voice.
Gu Jun-pyo, let's play!
Gu Jun-pyo,
let's play!
Hey! What's going on?
Gu Jun-pyo, let's play.
Gu Jun-pyo?
How did you get here? Why are you here?
Did the witch do something again? Is that it?
Gu Jun-pyo, let's play!
Did you eat something wrong? What's wrong with you?
Gu Jun-pyo, let's go on a picnic.
Picnic.
♫ It's a yearning heart, it's a yearning heart ♫
♫ Even if you're by my side, I still miss you ♫
♫ Like glass, it's an uneasy heart to me ♫
♫ It's a yearning heart, it's a yearning heart ♫
♫ Even if you're by my side, I still miss you ♫
♫ Like this, I want to place you in my embrace ♫
♫ Your smile that's like the sunshine ♫
♫ Your fragrance that's like the wind, your warm breath ♫
♫ Your bright eyes... I like it ♫
♫ Intoxicated in an armful of happiness ♫
♫ Just in case this love will become a dream, or everything will disappear ♫
♫ I'll tightly hold your hand next to me ♫
♫ Stay by my side forever ♫
♫ It's a yearning heart, it's a yearning heart ♫
♫ Even if you're by my side, I still miss you ♫
♫ Like glass, it's an uneasy heart to me ♫
♫ It's a yearning heart, it's a yearning heart ♫
♫ Even if you're by my side, I still miss you ♫
♫ Like glass, it's an uneasy heart to me ♫
Is today some special day?
I don't know very well,
but don't people usually say that it feels like their birthday, or having won the lottery?
Are you that happy?
Yeah.
I wish every day was like this.
Think about it.
You come to me first asking for a date,
and we haven't fought a single time all day.
Yes, we have.
Since it's come to this, may I ask you one more thing?
What is it?
How come you don't say that you like me?
I've said it to you... multiple times.
Must you hear it in words to know?
I want to hear it.
I want to hear what kind of person I am to you.
I like you.
No matter how hard I try not to like you, no matter how hard I try to forget you,
my efforts are so fruitless to the extent that I get angered by it.
Didn't you come here to say something to me?
Please leave them alone.
What?
My friend's family Ga-eul's family.
And Ji-hoo also.
Please leave them alone.
On what conditions?
What will you give to me in return?
Unless it's a credible card, I don't want to hear it.
I'll leave.
I'll leave Gu Jun-pyo.
I'll move my school and where I live,
and I'll leave to a place where Gu Jun-pyo will never be able to find me.
Is that okay?
If you just keep that promise.
I'll keep it.
Fine.
Then it seems the transaction is complete.
I'm not losing to you.
I'm not running away from you either.
You're the worst among all people I've met.
I'm leaving because I don't want the people I love to be entangled with you.
And my only regret...
is that I couldn't save the one I love the most from you.
Gu Jun-pyo.
Stop here.
Here? Why?
Just stop for me.
What's that bag for?
Are you going to give me a surprise event or something?
Gu Jun-pyo.
I'm not going to see you anymore.
What?
Tonight's the last time I'm seeing you.
Hey, Geum Jan-di.
Were you saddened because we didn't fight once today?
Even if you're joking, why do you joke about something like that?
I'm not joking.
What's the reason?
Did the witch do something again?
I became determined.
To take you out of my life.
Geum Jan-di.
Thanks for everything.
Farewell.
Why are you like this?
You told me you liked me.
You said so yourself with your very own mouth just a bit ago, but why?
It's because of the witch, right?
I'm right, right?
No, it's because of me.
What?
I realized it this time.
That you and I are from different worlds.
We met through a fantasy like fate,
but now it's time that we both return to our respective worlds.
You're lying.
You're lying to me right now.
Tell me.
I'll solve it for you.
I'll protect you.
Don't go!
You told me you liked me.
Is your love like this?
Can you end it so easily like this after you told me you liked me?
Perhaps my love was up to this point.
No matter how much I like you, the extent that I could endure?
Was perhaps just up to this point.
Perhaps it was to this point.
Tell me.
Setting Shinhwa and my being a plutocrat aside,
have you ever considered me as just one man?
No.
No matter how much you try, you're still Shinhwa Group's Gu Jun-pyo.
I've never forgotten that, for not even one second.
♫ Even though I tell it not to go, even though I tell it to stop ♫
♫ My heart keeps going towards you ♫
Stop the bus!
Jan-di!
Geum Jan-di!
Jan-di!
♫ Why is my love like this ♫
I'm telling you to stop the bus!
Jan-di!
♫ One by one, I count and count the memories ♫
Jan-di!
♫ My heart can't rest for even a moment ♫
♫ It'll just become baggage that becomes hard to control ♫
Jan-di!
♫ Why can't I even throw them away ♫
After I started to like you, I've always wished it.
That you were a regular man with no relation to Shinhwa or being a plutocrat.
♫ I must have become a fool that's blind from love ♫
♫ Just one place, every day one place ♫
I'm sorry for not being able to keep my promise, Gu Jun-pyo.
♫ Looking at the sad light that is you ♫
I'm really sorry.
♫ Even the tear glands must be broken ♫
♫ My tears won't stop ♫
♫ Just one word... the one phrase that you love ♫
♫ Can't you just tell me? ♫
♫ Even if I hold out my hands, no matter how much I call out ♫
♫ You're always far from me ♫
♫ It'll be a love that becomes painful scars ♫
♫ Why can't I erase it ♫
♫ Really, my heart must have done something somehow ♫
♫ I must have become a fool that's blind from love ♫
♫ Just one place, every day one place ♫
♫ Looking at the sad light that is you ♫
♫ Even the tear glands must be broken ♫
♫ My tears won't stop ♫
Jan-di.
Grandpa's here. Where are you?
Jan-di.
Where's this rascal?
♫ I try to comfort myself with the lie that I'm happy if you just smile ♫
♫ Because the place you're going towards isn't me ♫
I apologize for leaving like this.
I was indebted to you for a long time.
I won't forget it.
Please be healthy.
♫ I must have gone crazy over this hard love ♫
♫ Can't have you, can't forget you ♫
♫ Waiting for you day by day ♫
♫ I must have gotten ill from missing you so much ♫
♫ From loving you too much ♫
♫ Just one thing... your heart, that one thing ♫
♫ Can't you just share it with me ♫
♫ Can't you love me? ♫
I'm telling you that it's real.
Why don't you believe me?
She's starting again.
Why are you here like this, if you have your plutocrat in-law's house?
And is he even a normal plutocrat?
Shinhwa Group!
Then my daughter in law's Jun Sul Group's daughter.
My daughter goes to Shinhwa High School!
I even made food for Shinhwa Group's Gu Jun-pyo.
Why can't you believe me?
Okay. We understand.
Then go to your son-in-law and tell him to pay your debts.
Then no one will know what will happen to you.
Welcome. What should I give you?
Give me one of these.
Here you go.
Who is that?
They came down around the same time you came down.
They say he's some company's president.
M? M? Anyway!
They say he went bankrupt because of being eaten by a big company.
He got divorced and got all his children taken away.
He was crippled.
What can we do?
Seeing that he's wandering around like this,
I'm guessing that he's being chased by loan sharks.
What a pity.
Think about yourself.
Are you in the position to worry about others?
That's true.
Isn't that Jan-di?
Oh, my. Jan-di!
Mom!
How did you get here?
I came because I wanted to see you.
Is she the daughter that you were talking about?
Yeah. She's the girl.
Wanna see?
Look at this. Look at this.
Shinhwa High School's uniform!
Oh my, oh my. It must be true that she goes to Shinhwa High School.
Yeah!
Jan-di, let's go and talk.
Watch my stall for me.
Okay, go on.
Don't worry about it.
Watch after it for me!
How did you get here, Jan-di?
She overflows a noble figure.
What?
Dad is on a boat?
Then what can we do?
The debts keep rising.
And we need to send Kang-san to school.
And it looks like we can't even feed our family of three.
Then how come you didn't tell me?
So what if I tell you? You'll only get upset.
I would've quit school or gotten a job at the least.
That's why I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd do that.
You need to graduate from Shinhwa High School and go to Shinhwa college,
so that you can marry Young Master Jun-pyo or some other plutocrat,
and then we'll have a way for our family to live.
That's our lifeline.
Mom, does that make any sense at all?
Why did you come down here all of a sudden and not go to school?
I came because I wanted to see you.
Mom, Dad, San.
Darling, our daughter Jan-di's here!
You're doing well, right?
Dad!
I'm here!
You're doing well, right?
Please take care of yourself!
Dad!
Dad?
Any news of Jan-di?
Have you heard any?
Not really.
I've searched everywhere, and it's not easy as you think.
She hid herself somewhere.
I think it's the first time that Jun-pyo's been down like this.
He wasn't this bad in Macao either.
You're right.
It seems like he's holding a time bomb,
and teetering such that I can't bear to look at him.
Ji-hoo's strange as well.
Isn't he doing well with his grandpa?
Do you think it's normal for Ji-hoo to take management lesson and commute to the clinic?
I'm more worried about the rascal that just slept or played instruments more than Jun-pyo.
You're right.
Anyway, you're amazing, Geum Jan-di.
She disappeared after plunging the great F4 into bewilderment.
Yes, Grandpa, it's me.
Yes, I'll go get you right now.
What should I do?
Jan-di came down after such a long time, and all I have for side dishes is this.
What about the side dishes?
I'm dying of happiness to just eat food with you.
How long are you going to stay?
I wish that you'd stay for a long time.
I'm going to stay here for a while.
Stay for a while? You must go to school.
Don't worry about the family and just do what you must.
Are you there, Kang-san's family?
Who is it?
We're here.
What's going on?
She's full of a noble figure.
She really must be a plutocrat's daughter in law.
They say that only wealthy people go to Shinhwa high school.
Then you must be friends with all those rich kids, right?
She said that she's dating Shinhwa Group's inheritor!
I never dreamed that I would meet Shinhwa Group's in-laws
while living in the countryside like this.
Of course, of course.
Eat this.
And you can pay back the money slowly.
Oh my, really?
Of course.
Okay.
Accept it. Accept this too.
This too.
There's more here.
What's all this in the middle of the night?
Jun-pyo.
♫ Today you ask me about my welfare as if it's so normal ♫
♫ I just said that I was okay ♫
♫ You really don't know me at all ♫
♫ Without you, do you really think I'd be okay? ♫
♫ Are you okay without me? ♫
- You got it! - I got it!
Got it!
♫ Because the world without you is so hard ♫
♫ I resent myself who's breathing ♫
♫ What do I do? ♫
♫ Still, I live in the day that breaks apart at your one word. ♫
You said that you liked me.
Is your love like this?
Can you end it so easily like this after you told me you liked me?
Perhaps my love was up to this point.
No matter how much I like you, the extent that I could endure?
Was perhaps just up to this point.
What on earth is he doing?
Young Master, why are you like this?
How can he mess up someone else's machine?
Don't touch me!
How come you don't say that you like me?
Must you hear it in words to know?
I want to hear it.
I want to hear what kind of person I am to you.
I like you.
No matter how hard I try not to like you, no matter how hard I try to forget you,
my efforts are so fruitless to the extent that I get angered by it.
Jun-pyo.
To the person you love? Can you send her?
What are you going to send to the person you love?
I'm sorry.
Can you send her?
Stop joking around.
- Ji-hoo, kiss him! - Go away!
I don't want to!
The shock must've been big on him.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey Ji-hoo, he was hit!
Do you think that makes any sense?
The monkey that asked Jan-di to be her bridesmaid?
I'm sorry.
It keeps hitting me.
Wow!
