Castaway Diva (2023) s01e11 Episode Script
Giver vs. Taker

CASTAWAY DIVA
Hey, come here.
Can't you see what's going on?
I've created a risk and a scandal for you.
I told you we had to take care
of these things immediately.
I'm sorry for calling so late.
I thought you'd be shocked by the news.
Everything was finalized,
but the reporter asked later at the end.
Yes. She signed the termination form.
Yes. You don't have to worry.
Goodbye.
What?
The termination form?
Ran-joo was the one who wrote it.
What else can I do in this situation?
If I get involved, it'll hurt our company.
I know.
Then why--
Why are you staring at me like that?
There's dog hair on your head.
HELLO, I'M SEO MOK-HA
I can't think of a single thing to write.
Are you asleep? I'm eating alone.
Right now?
Where are you?
EPISODE 11
Why are you always eating alone?
You actually came.
I told you last time.
I'd be there no matter when,
where, or what you're eating.
It feels like we last met ages ago.
I'm sorry for leaving
without saying goodbye.
Yeah. You should feel bad.
Jeez.
Is your shoulder all better now?
Yeah, it's fine.
I read the news.
Right.
At tomorrow's press conference,
we're going to explain everything.
Reporters insinuate
what they want to say through questions.
I printed out
some questions you might get.
This is a rough idea of what to put
in your statement. Take a look.
Take your time and read through it.
Okay. I guess you really are a reporter.
-You bet.
-Gosh.
Don't get upset
and confrontational like last time.
When was I ever confrontational?
When you get upset
and raise your voice,
reporters don't like it.
That becomes a problem too?
Of course.
After all, they're human, too.
I bought some sausages.
Have one.
Sausages?
Isn't this yours?
I got one for myself too.
I was going to share.
SUNGJIN NEWS
Excuse me.
Hello, I'm Bong Du-hyeon
from Sungjin News.
Where can I park my car?
CULTURE REPORTER BONG DU-HYEON
Your card's not a parking voucher.
-Move your car.
-I'm here for a press conference--
Move your car now.
Or I'll call the cops.
But the parking lot is full…
What does he want me to do?
But everyone else parked here.
Where's Ran-joo?
She's in the restroom.
Should I button this?
Would the reporters think
I'm rude if I don't?
But it feels so stifling
when it's buttoned up.
-Let's do as Ran-joo said.
-What?
Leave the press conference to Ran-joo.
Just act like you've cut ties for now.
You don't have to suffer with her.
Your album's coming out.
It's okay to be a coward right now.
Don't you think it'd be better
to get the worst out of the way first?
I tried to lie and hide
my weaknesses a bit in the past.
And I learned my lesson.
I was so scared that I couldn't be myself.
You'll regret this decision.
Please. I'd regret it if I didn't do this.
Unbuttoned?
The reporter
who wrote that article came too.
Which one was it?
In the third row.
The one with the plaid shirt.
Hello, President Lee.
Fancy seeing you here.
It's been a long time.
Unbelievable.
What is it? Do you know that reporter?
PRESS CONFERENCE
FOR RJ ENTERTAINMENT'S YOON RAN-JOO
Ran-joo.
Have you had
a lot of press conferences before?
Yeah.
But that was when I was still famous.
I had my last one about 12 years ago.
What was it about back then?
It was about gambling.
What?
I think that one also took place here.
Is it true that you spent
hundreds of millions of won
gambling in Las Vegas?
No.
I was in Las Vegas for a photo shoot.
Why did you pick
a hotel that had a casino?
Most hotels in Las Vegas
have their own casinos.
Rumor has it you lost 50 billion won.
I don't even have that much money!
I wish I did!
Why is it that you're the only one
who's surrounded by such rumors?
The reporters should know.
What kind of question is that?
Exactly. Then, they wrote
more articles with the ugliest photos.
If you want my ugly photos,
search for my press conference
and you'll find tons.
Try to keep your head down
the entire time.
They'll start taking photos
when you look up.
Here.
Hydrate yourself now.
Or they'll take a photo of you drinking
and say that you're anxious.
Keep your answers as brief as you can.
Don't explain even if you get mad.
It's worse if they twist your words.
All right.
Hello.
I'm Yoon Ran-joo.
I'm sit before you
with a heavy heart today.
First of all,
the rumors about the shares
reported in the media
are mostly true.
In the past, President Lee Seo-jun and I
signed a contract stating
that if I sold 20 million albums,
I'd receive half the shares of the agency.
It's true that I appeared
on Heyday Again to achieve this goal.
The fact that I lip-synced on stage
is also true.
I BET MO-RAE WILL END UP LIKE RAN-JOO
But I had a more desperate reason
for doing that other than the desire
to claim the shares.
But whatever the reason may be,
in the process of this,
I made a disappointing decision.
I admit this
and I am remorseful.
I'm sorry.
Hello, I'm Seo Mok-ha.
I was the one who encouraged Ran-joo
to claim the shares.
PRESS CONFERENCE FOR YOON RAN-JOO
As her fan,
I just wanted her to find her place.
I was a naive fan
and only wanted the best for her.
But I think this wish
became a burden for her.
To everyone who showed
their love and support
for my story and singing,
I apologize.
We'll now take any questions you may have.
Yes?
This is a question for Ms. Yoon.
What will happen to the shares then?
I've given them up.
RJ Entertainment's shares are now safe.
In short, you had to appear
on TV to acquire the shares.
However, you couldn't sing.
So you dragged Ms. Seo
into this. Is this correct?
No, she didn't drag me into it.
I was asking Ms. Yoon.
Is this correct or incorrect?
That is correct.
My question is for Ms. Seo.
You said you encouraged
Ms. Yoon to claim the shares.
Why did you do this?
Did you want a part of the shares too?
I wasn't interested in the shares.
Then, why did you encourage her?
When Ran-joo was in her heyday in 2007,
I became stranded on a deserted island.
Then, I was rescued after 15 years.
She was still the same in my eyes.
But no one gave her
the recognition she deserved,
so it felt unfair to me.
It felt like even her agency
didn't appreciate her,
so I interfered.
If she took half of the shares,
would that make it feel fair for you?
No.
That wouldn't have been
nearly enough.
I want her
to remain a singer for a very long time.
I want her to be a singer
whose new songs climb the charts
and surpass those of other artists'.
She's being ridiculous.
-That's absurd.
-She's just saying that.
So one day…
"Yoon Ran-joo isn't a risk to her agency."
"She's a legend."
I hope those kinds
of articles will be written.
What was that? Was she talking to me?
Do you believe
that day will come, Ms. Yoon?
No.
GIVER VS. TAKER
"Yoon Ran-joo wants
both the shares
and the top of the charts."
"Is the old star greedy
or just delusional?"
Damn it.
Why did they have to add the "old" part?
I'm going to print this article out
and carry it around with me.
Once you make it big again,
I'm going to read it
in front of this reporter.
For now, I'm going to avoid
all reporters like the plague and--
Goodness. Here comes the plague.
I believe you were talking about me.
I was just thanking you.
Now, there are many articles about me,
and it's great to finally trend for once.
It's my pleasure.
If you would've just fact-checked
with us before you wrote that article,
it would've been so much better, right?
It was based on what President Lee said.
Did I have to fact-check?
Based on what he said?
You leaked it?
That's not true.
You should've asked for an interview.
You can't write a story
from what you overhear.
Unbelievable.
Ran-joo.
It's not like I wrote lies.
Why are they so mad?
You took his side and wrote it.
That's not true.
A reporter doesn't side with anyone.
If I must, I side with the victim.
Call me if you need me.
SUNGJIN NEWS
CULTURE REPORTER BONG DU-HYEON
I didn't leak the information on purpose.
He overheard me talk
at the golf course and wrote the story.
I would've stopped him had I known.
But it's true that you said it.
You think I'm a risk to your agency
and I'm dragging it down.
Am I wrong?
RJ had only four workers
when it was founded 15 years ago.
But now, there's over 100.
Do you think they decided
to work here because of you?
You couldn't have started
this company without me.
You wouldn't have come this far.
So how could you…
How could you treat me like trash?
What about you?
You just treated me like trash, too. No.
You always did.
-Me?
-I couldn't have started without you?
I wouldn't have come this far?
Then, what am I?
Trash?
Yes. Did you just realize that?
The investors would beg to differ.
They'll only invest
if you're not a part of this company.
Because you'd only lower its value!
So which one of us is the real trash?
Once,
I visited a well-known fortune teller.
And the fortune teller told me
that I had the fate of a tree.
I'd offer shade and fruit
to those who'd come to me.
I'm jealous of your fate.
What for? It's a hell of an awful fate.
I'll just end up as firewood.
A giver.
I turned Lee Seo-jun into a CEO
and turned Eun Mo-rae into a star.
And now, they just take it for granted.
I guess it's true
that givers create takers.
CAREGIVER
Hello? Yes.
She saw the news, didn't she?
If not, then why is she doing worse?
Okay, I'll go there right now. Goodbye.
-Yong-gwan.
-I'll head straight to the nursing home.
That old woman.
What's gotten into her?
Why would dementia turn her into that?
Does she still think she's you?
Yeah.
Why me of all people?
It would've been better
if she thought she was Mo-rae.
Ran-joo.
What is it?
Do you not know why
you were named Yoon Ran-joo?
What do you mean?
She probably got it from a naming center.
Why do you ask? Did she say
my name determined my fate?
No, that's not why.
Remember when your mother
came to the rooftop room?
Of course, I do.
I was looking everywhere for her.
That's when she told me…
DAFFODIL
The reason you were named
Yoon Ran-joo.
Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Encore!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
Thank you.
Mom?
Mom?
Mom.
Hi.
Mom.
What's your name?
My name?
It's Yoon Ran-joo, of course.
Then, what about Ko San-hee?
That's…
my real name.
Then, why are you Yoon Ran-joo?
That was my stage name
for when I became a singer.
Then, why didn't you become one?
Because I was suddenly blessed
with a beautiful gift.
Did you make it yet?
I'm almost done.
Here it is.
There it is.
Is it good?
Goodness, you eat so well.
What a good eater.
You can bet your life on her.
She'll be performing
on stage until she's 60.
Do you mean that?
HEYDAY AGAIN
You shouldn't have given up.
It must've broken your heart.
You were the one who was the giver.
And I was the taker.
Why are you a taker?
You're a gift.
When I was little…
you'd always sing that song for me.
Was that your song?
But…
I don't remember the lyrics.
I keep dreaming of it,
but I can't remember the lyrics.
"Seo Mok-ha,
RJ Entertainment's Real Risk."
"Maker--"
"Maker of Ludicrous Remarks."
"Dislike."
Have you seen this article?
Yeah.
They put this awful headline
just for clicks.
I feel disgusted as a fellow reporter.
Mok-ha must be having a tough time.
She hasn't even debuted,
and they're already bashing her.
Right.
Why don't you reach out to her?
I told you.
I'm not going to do that.
I think he's being careful,
because of the questioning.
He may not look like it,
but he's still a kid.
He has this much courage.
When is the interview?
Monday at 2 p.m.
What's the charge?
I'm not sure.
Our dad is guilty of fabricating
official documents.
But too much time has passed.
The problem is
every time he used the fabricated ID,
he committed a crime.
Every time?
Yeah.
He's been charged with a lot of crimes.
Falsifying information
on official documents.
Use of fabricated official documents.
Forgery of private documents.
Then, so…
How do you think things will turn out?
He'll either get off light or serve time.
Our house, salon,
and all the money we've saved
can also be taken away.
What about your job?
I've already resigned.
Bo-geol.
Ki-ho.
Come on out. I'll drive you home.
You told me to come
if I ever felt stifled.
That's why I came.
Because it felt suffocating.
I was worried.
You heard from Woo-hak, right?
We'll have to wait
for the results to be sure,
but it's very likely we'll serve time.
Then, it won't do us any good
if we're seen together.
So from now on--
I still have those feelings too.
Even to this day.
What do you mean?
Well…
I couldn't answer last time.
So I'm doing it now.
The past series of events have told me
you two used to be fond of each other.
So tell me.
Do you still have those feelings?
Goodness. Not at all.
Yes, I still do.
It'd be weird if I didn't.
What kind of lunatic searches 15 years
for someone he's uninterested in?
Of course, I do.
What kind of lunatic remembers
and cares about someone
she's uninterested in for 15 years?
Why are you telling me this right now?
Because this is the best timing.
It won't sound as sincere
if I say it after results.
No matter what the ruling may be,
I won't give up on you.
That's all you need to know.
I might have to serve time.
I don't care.
I could lose everything.
Did you forget?
I said 15 years ago
that I'd take care of you.
I'll stay strong.
So be honest
and tell the prosecutor
everything you want to say.
I emailed you the storyboard
for the music video, so check it.
It wasn't easy to borrow the set.
We won't have much time.
Make sure you study this. Got it?
AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST DAY
Young-ju.
Doctor,
can I hit him?
Of course not.
He may be awake,
but he still needs to recover.
Rest up.
How long was I out for?
What do you think?
Two days?
Three days?
Unbelievable.
Four months.
It's been over four months.
Jeez.
Four months?
You idiot.
I thought I'd end up a widow.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
Were you happy
when people said I sang well?
You must think it's so unfair.
You sacrificed your life for me.
But look at me now.
At the concert…
what song are you going to sing?
I'm not sure.
What song should I sing?
Do I need to wear a tie
for the questioning?
Shouldn't I dress as I normally do?
You have to dress up
like this for an interview.
Goodness. Much better.
I rarely wore ties
even as a civil servant.
Honey.
When we met at the office that day,
don't you regret following me out?
I don't.
You should say you do.
If you could turn back time,
say you would never do it.
Then they'll reduce the charges.
If I could turn back time,
I'd follow you out sooner.
You're unbelievable.
Let's go.
Mr. Kang Sang-doo, Ms. Song Ha-jung.
Yes.
-Ms. Song?
-Yes.
This way.
Oh, dear.
My goodness.
I was happy to hear
that my boss gave me a case.
But look how thick this case file is.
He must really adore you.
What is love?
Right.
Mr. Jung Bong-wan is here.
This way.
Sit over there.
Let me confirm your names first.
Your real name is Lee Uk.
Current name is Kang Sang-doo. Correct?
Yes, sir.
Your real name is Yang Jae-kyung.
Current name is Song Ha-jung.
Yes, sir.
You're her ex-husband, Jung Bong-wan.
I'm still her husband.
We never got a divorce.
You're right.
I understand.
I'll address you by your real names.
Would that be okay?
Yes, sir.
Who proposed stealing the identities?
I did.
You were a civil servant back then.
Did you not know it's illegal?
I was aware.
But I still proposed it.
Did the rest of the family know?
My oldest child, Chae-ho,
had hurt his head.
He lost his memory, so he had no idea.
-And I--
-She didn't know either.
And Bo-geol--
I mean, Ki-ho didn't know either.
He probably thought
we'd just changed our names.
He's lying.
They all knew.
Not only did they change
their names but also their ages.
Who changes their ages
alongside their names?
Ms. Yang.
Please answer again.
Whether you knew it or not
makes a big difference.
Please be honest.
I knew.
I knew…
and so did Ki-ho.
Okay.
That prosecutor is a lunatic.
Be quiet.
-People will hear you.
-It's just too weird.
We've confessed, so why does he
want to cross-examine?
Maybe he's on his side.
It says you already confessed, Mr. Lee.
Yes, sir.
Yet you still pressed charges.
What is your reason?
Because I'm the victim.
I was the head of the household.
And my family was stolen from me.
We're talking about my family,
not some object I own.
How could I forget them?
Is that why you stalked them?
I was only striving to find my family.
"Stalking"?
What a heartless way to describe it.
Based on this record,
your family ran away
due to domestic abuse.
That's right.
But that was 15 years ago.
Back then, I wasn't the best father.
I very much regretted
what I did these past 15 years.
I felt great remorse too.
I want to show them I've changed,
but I didn't have the chance to.
Is that why you went to their salon
and caused a ruckus?
Even the police were called.
It's a misunderstanding.
I thought this man had stolen my family.
So I went there to confront him.
You'll know from the CCTV footage
that Chae-ho was the one
using violence, not me.
He even choked me.
How dare you--
If your son choked you,
that's parental abuse.
No. He didn't assault him.
Chae-ho only grabbed
his collar while defending me.
He was trying to protect me.
What was it called? Self-protect--
It was self-defense.
Mr. Jung, do you want your son
to be punished for parental abuse?
Correct.
You wanted your family back.
-So you filed charges on them?
-Correct.
You also want to show them
you've been remorseful and full of regret?
Yes, that's correct.
Then, this is the best opportunity
for you to do that.
But you're blowing your chance.
You don't want to show regret and remorse.
I think you just want
to punish them severely.
Am I right?
If one's committed a wrongdoing,
I believe they deserve to be punished.
And only then
will I be able to show
my regret and remorse.
-And--
-One person
is lying to protect his children,
while the other is lying to punish them.
Then, which one do you think
is the real father?
Please take a seat.
-Mr. Kang Bo-geol, Mr. Kang Woo-hak.
-Yes.
Please come in.
You did well.
I'm someone
who's decided to give
his own life for his sons.
Do you see those insurance documents?
They'll receive
more than 100 million won when I die.
Do you still doubt my love for them?
I was going to ask you anyway.
Mr. Han Dae-woong
is your insurance broker.
Dae-woong?
Yes. You know him, right?
Yes, we went to the same middle school.
He got into a car accident
right after meeting with Mr. Jung.
Were you aware of this?
A car accident?
Was he badly hurt?
Yes, he's been unconscious
for four months now.
I took out three different insurances
because he's my son's friend.
He's like a son to me,
so why would I harm him?
I never said you did.
You said he got into an accident
right after seeing me so…
Ask him once he wakes up.
He had visited that day
to thank me, and he even a brought gift.
You can ask him right now.
I covered that news four months ago.
Yesterday,
Mr. Han's wife told me that he woke up.
What a relief.
Why didn't you tell me?
His wife told me not to.
She thought it would be dangerous
if he found out.
Can Mr. Han give me his statement
over the phone right now?
Yes.
Aren't we here
to question them for identity theft?
Why bring up that other case now?
That's not related to this.
Let's find out if that's the case
after we talk with him.
They didn't say it'd rain today.
We don't have an umbrella.
What should we do?
Okay.
Sir, Mr. Han is on the phone.
Okay.
Mr. Han?
-Hello?
-Hello?
Dae-woong, are you okay?
Are you badly hurt?
Is that you, Ki-ho?
Yeah.
It's me. Ki-ho.
I heard your father is with you right now.
Don't let him near you.
He could hurt you.
You can catch up later.
Mr. Han, I'm Prosecutor Lee Ji-gwang.
I have a few questions
regarding this case.
All right.
Did you meet with Mr. Jung Bong-wan
before the accident?
Yes, I did.
I know it was a while ago,
but do you remember what you talked about?
It may have been a long time for others,
but it feels like yesterday to me.
I still remember everything vividly.
Ki-ho, have you met your father
at Seoul Station before?
Yeah, I have.
He met with me right afterward.
And he said…
-Dae-woong.
-Yes?
If he saw me as his father
and ran, he's a bad son.
If he saw me as an officer
and ran, then he must be guilty.
Either way, I must catch him.
Mr. Jung.
Ki-ho didn't run away
because he was scared of you.
So please.
Please, sir. Don't look for him. Okay?
That's what he said word for word.
And you had a car accident
immediately after that, right?
How did it happen?
Well…
I was driving.
Then, dozens of hornets
appeared inside the car
and started to attack me.
I was meaning to stop the car,
but I must've gotten stung.
The inside of my mouth
started to swell up,
and my vision became blurry.
The dashcam footage showed
that it was Mr. Jung
who put the hornets in the car.
What do you say?
I think this proves
that this case is very much related.
Hello.
Since Mr. Jung Chae-ho
has no memory of that time,
I'll ask Mr. Jung Ki-ho one last question.
Were you aware
that Mr. Lee had committed identity theft?
Yes, I was.
Was there no other option?
You could've legally changed your names.
If we did,
he would've found us
just by requesting our records.
After changing your names,
you could've filed a request
to prevent him from finding you.
That would've worked.
That law
didn't exist back then.
If that law had existed
15 years ago, then our father…
wouldn't have committed identity theft.
Our father…
wanted to protect us,
so he had no other choice.
When will they tell us result?
I'm not sure.
It could be as early as a few days
or as late as a few months.
No one knows.
Goodness, it's raining cats and dogs.
Wait here.
I'll go buy some umbrellas.
Good job.
You all did well.
Good job.
Honey.
I'd like you to do
Mok-ha's hair like this.
Mok-ha, take a look at this.
-Please do her hair.
-Okay.
What are you talking about?
AS IF TODAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY
You know Yong-gwan jumped
through hoops to borrow this place, right?
Make sure to give it your best.
Let's talk about love
As if it's your last time
As if today was your last day
Show your love
Shout it passionately out loud
If you're not loving
You're not living
We're out of time now
So as if we're praying
In front of this candle of life
That could burn out
Let's talk about love
Yes.
Those were the lyrics.
This was it.
After all we did to borrow this set,
how could you waste it like this?
I don't think I wasted it.
This was very nice of you,
but you won't ever succeed
if you keep yielding to others.
Ran-joo.
Back when I lived on Chunsam Island,
Ki-ho once asked me something.
He asked me what I'd do once I met you.
So I told him
I'd be focused as I sing.
And you did just that.
So you successfully sing
in front of Yoon Ran-joo.
Then what?
"Then what?"
Then…
It's a secret.
Then what?
And then…
I was going to say
that I wanted to be like you.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
I'd say I wanted
to become a singer like you.
And what kind of singer is that?
Someone who made her mom
give up on her dream?
I didn't know what kind
of singer you were back then.
You were just a famous singer in my eyes.
But today,
it's finally become crystal clear
what kind of singer I want to be.
And what's that?
I can't explain it in words.
Just exactly the type
of singer you were today.
What are you talking about?
When I lost my voice, I thought,
"I love singing,
but singing doesn't love me back."
"That's why it has abandoned me."
But after seeing my mom today…
I realized I could never
give up on singing.
What choice do I have?
I'll have to keep pursuing it.
BROTHERS SALON
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
All right.
Okay.
How great is this?
I have no customers
at this hour on a weekday.
And I get to trim your hair.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Right.
This will be our last time
if we end up behind bars.
You and your tongue.
You fool.
Why ruin the moment
with something that hasn't even happened?
Enjoy it!
Enjoy it like a man.
Enjoy this leisurely time like me--
Honey.
We got mail.
What? Okay.
Thank you.
What is it?
My credit card expired,
so I ordered a new one.
-Dad!
-Honey!
Let's go trim your hair.
I'll finish it for you.
-What's wrong?
-Wait--
It's three years, not four.
Okay.
And add a link to the music video below.
All right.
But Mr. Park, I thought
you were on Eun Mo-rae's team.
When you email the reporters,
don't forget to include him.
Yes, sir.

YOON RAN-JOO'S NEW SONG
SHARE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMEN
"'As If Today Was Your Last Day'
Climbs the Charts."
"Yoon Ran-joo is No Longer a Risk
to RJ But a Legend."
I love the articles.
"Yoon Ran-joo's new single
is climbing the charts."
"Her new song 'As If Today Was
Your Last Day' was released on the 16th,
and it has been well-received
by the public as it climbs the charts."
"Music critic Ahn Ju-seong
praised the song,
saying only Yoon Ran-joo
could sing it with the right feel."
"'As If Today Was Your Last Day'
is currently in the top ten."
"Will it be able to
come in at number one?"
Yong-gwan.
What rank is our song right now?
Well, it differs for every chart,
but it's always in the top ten.
My mom is going to get so many royalties.
It's a shame she didn't get to know that.
I'm sure now
she'll keep watching over you
from the heavens.
Do you think my mom's life…
had a happy ending?
You just need a happy ending.
The person who completes her story
is you.
You're…
really incredible.
I am?
Please write your name here.
Okay.
-Thank you.
-Have a nice day.
Is it from the prosecution?
Yes.
I hope it just ends here.
Going to trial would be terrible.
We can't help it if we do though.
FROM SEOUL HANGANG PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
TO JUNG KI-HO
Hello?
It's me. Ki-ho.
The prosecutors' office sent us a notice.
FROM SEOUL HANGANG PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
TO JUNG BONG-WAN
Ran-joo.
This won't open. What should I do?
Is it locked?
Yes.
Do you have the key?
No, I don't--
One minute.
DIARY
APRIL TO MAY 1970
I think it's her diary.
There are old letters too.
What is this?
It looks like this document
had been shredded.
What kind of document is this?
Hello, President Lee.
Hello. Come on in.
-It's nice to see you.
-Likewise.
This way, please.
Hello.
May I?
I think this is
an overseas export invoice.
What?
Didn't you release a Japanese album once?
Yes, I did.
I think it's been about a decade.
The drama with my song
on its soundtrack was a hit there. Why?
Wasn't your album in the market?
Was it?
I think this is the invoice.
But why would my mom…
Don't let
President Lee find out about it.
How many were sold?
About 140,000 albums.
Doesn't this mean
you sold over 20 million a long time ago?
No way.
Did President Lee
purposely leave this out?
Just for the shares?
In life…
SHARE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMEN
you'll learn that some people become happy
over other people's misfortunes.
Please let me know if you'd like to
revise anything in the contract.
You'll learn
that many become jealous
of other people's successes.
That's because…
when their lives become pathetic,
they refuse to blame themselves.
That's why they blame it on others
and want to bring them down.
Because that's easier.
Goodness!
We did it!
NOTICE OF CASE RESUL
It's extremely difficult
to sincerely root for other people.
NO CHARGES
LACK OF EVIDENCE
And it's even harder
to be genuinely happy for others
without feeling any jealousy
or expecting anything in return.
Mok-ha, that's the reason why
you're incredible.
Let's see.
Are the colors too similar?
It's too tacky.
This one too.
Pick the best one.
Goodness.
Gosh, let me get it.
Mok-ha.
Mok-ha!
Goodness, I can't believe this.
Is it you, Young-ju?
Yes, it's me. Moon Young-ju!
Goodness, Young-ju!
Goodness! I heard the news!
You're married now!
How did you survive
on that dangerous island?
What took you so long to reach out?
I was dying to reach out to you!
How's Dae-woong?
I heard he was badly hurt!
-Dae-woong?
-Yeah.
Goodness, Dae-woong.
-Goodness.
-What's going on?
Dae-woong.
Mok-ha. Ki-ho.
Are you okay? Can you walk?
I've been putting my all
into rehabilitation.
I heard you didn't have to go to trial.
I'm truly happy for you.
All right.
Let's not be all huddled up at the door.
Why don't you come inside and chat?
Goodness.
I really wanted to see you, ma'am.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Mok-ha's friend, Moon Young-ju.
Nice to meet you.
Gosh, come on in.
Yes. Come on in.
Goodness, poor Dae-woong.
This one is pretty.
I'll take this one.
The biggest cake with fruit.
-This one?
-Yes.
-That'll be 62,000 won.
-Okay.
LETTERING SERVICE
Could you write something
on the cake for me too?
Of course.
You can write it down here.
Okay. One moment, please.
Here you go.
-Did you pick one?
-You startled me!
What are you doing here?
It's raining.
Jeez.
You almost gave me a heart attack.
-Which one did you get?
-It's a secret.
-Which one?
-Just eat it later.
-I mean, I will eat it.
-Just eat the cake.
Why are you all upset?
You scared me.
Why didn't Woo-hak tell us
when he already knew?
I told him not to.
I made him promise me.
Why?
I was terrified of Mr. Jung,
and Dae-woong still wasn't stable.
Even still.
You should've called me.
I was going to when the timing was right.
Like today.
Let's meet up often.
Nothing's holding us back now.
Yeah, let's do that.
By the way,
do you guys all have insurance?
For example, medical or dental insurance.
We just got here
and you're trying to sell insurance?
Cut it out while I'm still being nice.
Why is he taking so long to buy a cake?
Dad, don't tell me you wrote
something on the cake. That's tacky.
Jeez, I didn't.
But why would that be tacky?
So you did.
What did you write?
Something tacky
like you love us or whatever?
I didn't write anything,
but why would that be tacky?
Dad, what's wrong?
Dad.
What's going on?
Call 911. Please call 911 right now!

What do we do?
Call 911.
Please call 911!

One, two, three.
Please.
You will never be able to divorce me.
You will also live
with my surname forever.
You want me to switch songs?
What are you talking about?
How low can you possibly go?
The biggest regret in life
is not expressing your true feelings.
When I found you on the deserted island,
do you think it was a coincidence?
How could that have been a coincidence?
-Seo Mok-ha!

It was fate.

CASTAWAY DIVA
Hey, come here.
Can't you see what's going on?
I've created a risk and a scandal for you.
I told you we had to take care
of these things immediately.
I'm sorry for calling so late.
I thought you'd be shocked by the news.
Everything was finalized,
but the reporter asked later at the end.
Yes. She signed the termination form.
Yes. You don't have to worry.
Goodbye.
What?
The termination form?
Ran-joo was the one who wrote it.
What else can I do in this situation?
If I get involved, it'll hurt our company.
I know.
Then why--
Why are you staring at me like that?
There's dog hair on your head.
HELLO, I'M SEO MOK-HA
I can't think of a single thing to write.
Are you asleep? I'm eating alone.
Right now?
Where are you?
EPISODE 11
Why are you always eating alone?
You actually came.
I told you last time.
I'd be there no matter when,
where, or what you're eating.
It feels like we last met ages ago.
I'm sorry for leaving
without saying goodbye.
Yeah. You should feel bad.
Jeez.
Is your shoulder all better now?
Yeah, it's fine.
I read the news.
Right.
At tomorrow's press conference,
we're going to explain everything.
Reporters insinuate
what they want to say through questions.
I printed out
some questions you might get.
This is a rough idea of what to put
in your statement. Take a look.
Take your time and read through it.
Okay. I guess you really are a reporter.
-You bet.
-Gosh.
Don't get upset
and confrontational like last time.
When was I ever confrontational?
When you get upset
and raise your voice,
reporters don't like it.
That becomes a problem too?
Of course.
After all, they're human, too.
I bought some sausages.
Have one.
Sausages?
Isn't this yours?
I got one for myself too.
I was going to share.
SUNGJIN NEWS
Excuse me.
Hello, I'm Bong Du-hyeon
from Sungjin News.
Where can I park my car?
CULTURE REPORTER BONG DU-HYEON
Your card's not a parking voucher.
-Move your car.
-I'm here for a press conference--
Move your car now.
Or I'll call the cops.
But the parking lot is full…
What does he want me to do?
But everyone else parked here.
Where's Ran-joo?
She's in the restroom.
Should I button this?
Would the reporters think
I'm rude if I don't?
But it feels so stifling
when it's buttoned up.
-Let's do as Ran-joo said.
-What?
Leave the press conference to Ran-joo.
Just act like you've cut ties for now.
You don't have to suffer with her.
Your album's coming out.
It's okay to be a coward right now.
Don't you think it'd be better
to get the worst out of the way first?
I tried to lie and hide
my weaknesses a bit in the past.
And I learned my lesson.
I was so scared that I couldn't be myself.
You'll regret this decision.
Please. I'd regret it if I didn't do this.
Unbuttoned?
The reporter
who wrote that article came too.
Which one was it?
In the third row.
The one with the plaid shirt.
Hello, President Lee.
Fancy seeing you here.
It's been a long time.
Unbelievable.
What is it? Do you know that reporter?
PRESS CONFERENCE
FOR RJ ENTERTAINMENT'S YOON RAN-JOO
Ran-joo.
Have you had
a lot of press conferences before?
Yeah.
But that was when I was still famous.
I had my last one about 12 years ago.
What was it about back then?
It was about gambling.
What?
I think that one also took place here.
Is it true that you spent
hundreds of millions of won
gambling in Las Vegas?
No.
I was in Las Vegas for a photo shoot.
Why did you pick
a hotel that had a casino?
Most hotels in Las Vegas
have their own casinos.
Rumor has it you lost 50 billion won.
I don't even have that much money!
I wish I did!
Why is it that you're the only one
who's surrounded by such rumors?
The reporters should know.
What kind of question is that?
Exactly. Then, they wrote
more articles with the ugliest photos.
If you want my ugly photos,
search for my press conference
and you'll find tons.
Try to keep your head down
the entire time.
They'll start taking photos
when you look up.
Here.
Hydrate yourself now.
Or they'll take a photo of you drinking
and say that you're anxious.
Keep your answers as brief as you can.
Don't explain even if you get mad.
It's worse if they twist your words.
All right.
Hello.
I'm Yoon Ran-joo.
I'm sit before you
with a heavy heart today.
First of all,
the rumors about the shares
reported in the media
are mostly true.
In the past, President Lee Seo-jun and I
signed a contract stating
that if I sold 20 million albums,
I'd receive half the shares of the agency.
It's true that I appeared
on Heyday Again to achieve this goal.
The fact that I lip-synced on stage
is also true.
I BET MO-RAE WILL END UP LIKE RAN-JOO
But I had a more desperate reason
for doing that other than the desire
to claim the shares.
But whatever the reason may be,
in the process of this,
I made a disappointing decision.
I admit this
and I am remorseful.
I'm sorry.
Hello, I'm Seo Mok-ha.
I was the one who encouraged Ran-joo
to claim the shares.
PRESS CONFERENCE FOR YOON RAN-JOO
As her fan,
I just wanted her to find her place.
I was a naive fan
and only wanted the best for her.
But I think this wish
became a burden for her.
To everyone who showed
their love and support
for my story and singing,
I apologize.
We'll now take any questions you may have.
Yes?
This is a question for Ms. Yoon.
What will happen to the shares then?
I've given them up.
RJ Entertainment's shares are now safe.
In short, you had to appear
on TV to acquire the shares.
However, you couldn't sing.
So you dragged Ms. Seo
into this. Is this correct?
No, she didn't drag me into it.
I was asking Ms. Yoon.
Is this correct or incorrect?
That is correct.
My question is for Ms. Seo.
You said you encouraged
Ms. Yoon to claim the shares.
Why did you do this?
Did you want a part of the shares too?
I wasn't interested in the shares.
Then, why did you encourage her?
When Ran-joo was in her heyday in 2007,
I became stranded on a deserted island.
Then, I was rescued after 15 years.
She was still the same in my eyes.
But no one gave her
the recognition she deserved,
so it felt unfair to me.
It felt like even her agency
didn't appreciate her,
so I interfered.
If she took half of the shares,
would that make it feel fair for you?
No.
That wouldn't have been
nearly enough.
I want her
to remain a singer for a very long time.
I want her to be a singer
whose new songs climb the charts
and surpass those of other artists'.
She's being ridiculous.
-That's absurd.
-She's just saying that.
So one day…
"Yoon Ran-joo isn't a risk to her agency."
"She's a legend."
I hope those kinds
of articles will be written.
What was that? Was she talking to me?
Do you believe
that day will come, Ms. Yoon?
No.
GIVER VS. TAKER
"Yoon Ran-joo wants
both the shares
and the top of the charts."
"Is the old star greedy
or just delusional?"
Damn it.
Why did they have to add the "old" part?
I'm going to print this article out
and carry it around with me.
Once you make it big again,
I'm going to read it
in front of this reporter.
For now, I'm going to avoid
all reporters like the plague and--
Goodness. Here comes the plague.
I believe you were talking about me.
I was just thanking you.
Now, there are many articles about me,
and it's great to finally trend for once.
It's my pleasure.
If you would've just fact-checked
with us before you wrote that article,
it would've been so much better, right?
It was based on what President Lee said.
Did I have to fact-check?
Based on what he said?
You leaked it?
That's not true.
You should've asked for an interview.
You can't write a story
from what you overhear.
Unbelievable.
Ran-joo.
It's not like I wrote lies.
Why are they so mad?
You took his side and wrote it.
That's not true.
A reporter doesn't side with anyone.
If I must, I side with the victim.
Call me if you need me.
SUNGJIN NEWS
CULTURE REPORTER BONG DU-HYEON
I didn't leak the information on purpose.
He overheard me talk
at the golf course and wrote the story.
I would've stopped him had I known.
But it's true that you said it.
You think I'm a risk to your agency
and I'm dragging it down.
Am I wrong?
RJ had only four workers
when it was founded 15 years ago.
But now, there's over 100.
Do you think they decided
to work here because of you?
You couldn't have started
this company without me.
You wouldn't have come this far.
So how could you…
How could you treat me like trash?
What about you?
You just treated me like trash, too. No.
You always did.
-Me?
-I couldn't have started without you?
I wouldn't have come this far?
Then, what am I?
Trash?
Yes. Did you just realize that?
The investors would beg to differ.
They'll only invest
if you're not a part of this company.
Because you'd only lower its value!
So which one of us is the real trash?
Once,
I visited a well-known fortune teller.
And the fortune teller told me
that I had the fate of a tree.
I'd offer shade and fruit
to those who'd come to me.
I'm jealous of your fate.
What for? It's a hell of an awful fate.
I'll just end up as firewood.
A giver.
I turned Lee Seo-jun into a CEO
and turned Eun Mo-rae into a star.
And now, they just take it for granted.
I guess it's true
that givers create takers.
CAREGIVER
Hello? Yes.
She saw the news, didn't she?
If not, then why is she doing worse?
Okay, I'll go there right now. Goodbye.
-Yong-gwan.
-I'll head straight to the nursing home.
That old woman.
What's gotten into her?
Why would dementia turn her into that?
Does she still think she's you?
Yeah.
Why me of all people?
It would've been better
if she thought she was Mo-rae.
Ran-joo.
What is it?
Do you not know why
you were named Yoon Ran-joo?
What do you mean?
She probably got it from a naming center.
Why do you ask? Did she say
my name determined my fate?
No, that's not why.
Remember when your mother
came to the rooftop room?
Of course, I do.
I was looking everywhere for her.
That's when she told me…
DAFFODIL
The reason you were named
Yoon Ran-joo.
Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Encore!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
Thank you.
Mom?
Mom?
Mom.
Hi.
Mom.
What's your name?
My name?
It's Yoon Ran-joo, of course.
Then, what about Ko San-hee?
That's…
my real name.
Then, why are you Yoon Ran-joo?
That was my stage name
for when I became a singer.
Then, why didn't you become one?
Because I was suddenly blessed
with a beautiful gift.
Did you make it yet?
I'm almost done.
Here it is.
There it is.
Is it good?
Goodness, you eat so well.
What a good eater.
You can bet your life on her.
She'll be performing
on stage until she's 60.
Do you mean that?
HEYDAY AGAIN
You shouldn't have given up.
It must've broken your heart.
You were the one who was the giver.
And I was the taker.
Why are you a taker?
You're a gift.
When I was little…
you'd always sing that song for me.
Was that your song?
But…
I don't remember the lyrics.
I keep dreaming of it,
but I can't remember the lyrics.
"Seo Mok-ha,
RJ Entertainment's Real Risk."
"Maker--"
"Maker of Ludicrous Remarks."
"Dislike."
Have you seen this article?
Yeah.
They put this awful headline
just for clicks.
I feel disgusted as a fellow reporter.
Mok-ha must be having a tough time.
She hasn't even debuted,
and they're already bashing her.
Right.
Why don't you reach out to her?
I told you.
I'm not going to do that.
I think he's being careful,
because of the questioning.
He may not look like it,
but he's still a kid.
He has this much courage.
When is the interview?
Monday at 2 p.m.
What's the charge?
I'm not sure.
Our dad is guilty of fabricating
official documents.
But too much time has passed.
The problem is
every time he used the fabricated ID,
he committed a crime.
Every time?
Yeah.
He's been charged with a lot of crimes.
Falsifying information
on official documents.
Use of fabricated official documents.
Forgery of private documents.
Then, so…
How do you think things will turn out?
He'll either get off light or serve time.
Our house, salon,
and all the money we've saved
can also be taken away.
What about your job?
I've already resigned.
Bo-geol.
Ki-ho.
Come on out. I'll drive you home.
You told me to come
if I ever felt stifled.
That's why I came.
Because it felt suffocating.
I was worried.
You heard from Woo-hak, right?
We'll have to wait
for the results to be sure,
but it's very likely we'll serve time.
Then, it won't do us any good
if we're seen together.
So from now on--
I still have those feelings too.
Even to this day.
What do you mean?
Well…
I couldn't answer last time.
So I'm doing it now.
The past series of events have told me
you two used to be fond of each other.
So tell me.
Do you still have those feelings?
Goodness. Not at all.
Yes, I still do.
It'd be weird if I didn't.
What kind of lunatic searches 15 years
for someone he's uninterested in?
Of course, I do.
What kind of lunatic remembers
and cares about someone
she's uninterested in for 15 years?
Why are you telling me this right now?
Because this is the best timing.
It won't sound as sincere
if I say it after results.
No matter what the ruling may be,
I won't give up on you.
That's all you need to know.
I might have to serve time.
I don't care.
I could lose everything.
Did you forget?
I said 15 years ago
that I'd take care of you.
I'll stay strong.
So be honest
and tell the prosecutor
everything you want to say.
I emailed you the storyboard
for the music video, so check it.
It wasn't easy to borrow the set.
We won't have much time.
Make sure you study this. Got it?
AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST DAY
Young-ju.
Doctor,
can I hit him?
Of course not.
He may be awake,
but he still needs to recover.
Rest up.
How long was I out for?
What do you think?
Two days?
Three days?
Unbelievable.
Four months.
It's been over four months.
Jeez.
Four months?
You idiot.
I thought I'd end up a widow.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
Were you happy
when people said I sang well?
You must think it's so unfair.
You sacrificed your life for me.
But look at me now.
At the concert…
what song are you going to sing?
I'm not sure.
What song should I sing?
Do I need to wear a tie
for the questioning?
Shouldn't I dress as I normally do?
You have to dress up
like this for an interview.
Goodness. Much better.
I rarely wore ties
even as a civil servant.
Honey.
When we met at the office that day,
don't you regret following me out?
I don't.
You should say you do.
If you could turn back time,
say you would never do it.
Then they'll reduce the charges.
If I could turn back time,
I'd follow you out sooner.
You're unbelievable.
Let's go.
Mr. Kang Sang-doo, Ms. Song Ha-jung.
Yes.
-Ms. Song?
-Yes.
This way.
Oh, dear.
My goodness.
I was happy to hear
that my boss gave me a case.
But look how thick this case file is.
He must really adore you.
What is love?
Right.
Mr. Jung Bong-wan is here.
This way.
Sit over there.
Let me confirm your names first.
Your real name is Lee Uk.
Current name is Kang Sang-doo. Correct?
Yes, sir.
Your real name is Yang Jae-kyung.
Current name is Song Ha-jung.
Yes, sir.
You're her ex-husband, Jung Bong-wan.
I'm still her husband.
We never got a divorce.
You're right.
I understand.
I'll address you by your real names.
Would that be okay?
Yes, sir.
Who proposed stealing the identities?
I did.
You were a civil servant back then.
Did you not know it's illegal?
I was aware.
But I still proposed it.
Did the rest of the family know?
My oldest child, Chae-ho,
had hurt his head.
He lost his memory, so he had no idea.
-And I--
-She didn't know either.
And Bo-geol--
I mean, Ki-ho didn't know either.
He probably thought
we'd just changed our names.
He's lying.
They all knew.
Not only did they change
their names but also their ages.
Who changes their ages
alongside their names?
Ms. Yang.
Please answer again.
Whether you knew it or not
makes a big difference.
Please be honest.
I knew.
I knew…
and so did Ki-ho.
Okay.
That prosecutor is a lunatic.
Be quiet.
-People will hear you.
-It's just too weird.
We've confessed, so why does he
want to cross-examine?
Maybe he's on his side.
It says you already confessed, Mr. Lee.
Yes, sir.
Yet you still pressed charges.
What is your reason?
Because I'm the victim.
I was the head of the household.
And my family was stolen from me.
We're talking about my family,
not some object I own.
How could I forget them?
Is that why you stalked them?
I was only striving to find my family.
"Stalking"?
What a heartless way to describe it.
Based on this record,
your family ran away
due to domestic abuse.
That's right.
But that was 15 years ago.
Back then, I wasn't the best father.
I very much regretted
what I did these past 15 years.
I felt great remorse too.
I want to show them I've changed,
but I didn't have the chance to.
Is that why you went to their salon
and caused a ruckus?
Even the police were called.
It's a misunderstanding.
I thought this man had stolen my family.
So I went there to confront him.
You'll know from the CCTV footage
that Chae-ho was the one
using violence, not me.
He even choked me.
How dare you--
If your son choked you,
that's parental abuse.
No. He didn't assault him.
Chae-ho only grabbed
his collar while defending me.
He was trying to protect me.
What was it called? Self-protect--
It was self-defense.
Mr. Jung, do you want your son
to be punished for parental abuse?
Correct.
You wanted your family back.
-So you filed charges on them?
-Correct.
You also want to show them
you've been remorseful and full of regret?
Yes, that's correct.
Then, this is the best opportunity
for you to do that.
But you're blowing your chance.
You don't want to show regret and remorse.
I think you just want
to punish them severely.
Am I right?
If one's committed a wrongdoing,
I believe they deserve to be punished.
And only then
will I be able to show
my regret and remorse.
-And--
-One person
is lying to protect his children,
while the other is lying to punish them.
Then, which one do you think
is the real father?
Please take a seat.
-Mr. Kang Bo-geol, Mr. Kang Woo-hak.
-Yes.
Please come in.
You did well.
I'm someone
who's decided to give
his own life for his sons.
Do you see those insurance documents?
They'll receive
more than 100 million won when I die.
Do you still doubt my love for them?
I was going to ask you anyway.
Mr. Han Dae-woong
is your insurance broker.
Dae-woong?
Yes. You know him, right?
Yes, we went to the same middle school.
He got into a car accident
right after meeting with Mr. Jung.
Were you aware of this?
A car accident?
Was he badly hurt?
Yes, he's been unconscious
for four months now.
I took out three different insurances
because he's my son's friend.
He's like a son to me,
so why would I harm him?
I never said you did.
You said he got into an accident
right after seeing me so…
Ask him once he wakes up.
He had visited that day
to thank me, and he even a brought gift.
You can ask him right now.
I covered that news four months ago.
Yesterday,
Mr. Han's wife told me that he woke up.
What a relief.
Why didn't you tell me?
His wife told me not to.
She thought it would be dangerous
if he found out.
Can Mr. Han give me his statement
over the phone right now?
Yes.
Aren't we here
to question them for identity theft?
Why bring up that other case now?
That's not related to this.
Let's find out if that's the case
after we talk with him.
They didn't say it'd rain today.
We don't have an umbrella.
What should we do?
Okay.
Sir, Mr. Han is on the phone.
Okay.
Mr. Han?
-Hello?
-Hello?
Dae-woong, are you okay?
Are you badly hurt?
Is that you, Ki-ho?
Yeah.
It's me. Ki-ho.
I heard your father is with you right now.
Don't let him near you.
He could hurt you.
You can catch up later.
Mr. Han, I'm Prosecutor Lee Ji-gwang.
I have a few questions
regarding this case.
All right.
Did you meet with Mr. Jung Bong-wan
before the accident?
Yes, I did.
I know it was a while ago,
but do you remember what you talked about?
It may have been a long time for others,
but it feels like yesterday to me.
I still remember everything vividly.
Ki-ho, have you met your father
at Seoul Station before?
Yeah, I have.
He met with me right afterward.
And he said…
-Dae-woong.
-Yes?
If he saw me as his father
and ran, he's a bad son.
If he saw me as an officer
and ran, then he must be guilty.
Either way, I must catch him.
Mr. Jung.
Ki-ho didn't run away
because he was scared of you.
So please.
Please, sir. Don't look for him. Okay?
That's what he said word for word.
And you had a car accident
immediately after that, right?
How did it happen?
Well…
I was driving.
Then, dozens of hornets
appeared inside the car
and started to attack me.
I was meaning to stop the car,
but I must've gotten stung.
The inside of my mouth
started to swell up,
and my vision became blurry.
The dashcam footage showed
that it was Mr. Jung
who put the hornets in the car.
What do you say?
I think this proves
that this case is very much related.
Hello.
Since Mr. Jung Chae-ho
has no memory of that time,
I'll ask Mr. Jung Ki-ho one last question.
Were you aware
that Mr. Lee had committed identity theft?
Yes, I was.
Was there no other option?
You could've legally changed your names.
If we did,
he would've found us
just by requesting our records.
After changing your names,
you could've filed a request
to prevent him from finding you.
That would've worked.
That law
didn't exist back then.
If that law had existed
15 years ago, then our father…
wouldn't have committed identity theft.
Our father…
wanted to protect us,
so he had no other choice.
When will they tell us result?
I'm not sure.
It could be as early as a few days
or as late as a few months.
No one knows.
Goodness, it's raining cats and dogs.
Wait here.
I'll go buy some umbrellas.
Good job.
You all did well.
Good job.
Honey.
I'd like you to do
Mok-ha's hair like this.
Mok-ha, take a look at this.
-Please do her hair.
-Okay.
What are you talking about?
AS IF TODAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY
You know Yong-gwan jumped
through hoops to borrow this place, right?
Make sure to give it your best.
Let's talk about love
As if it's your last time
As if today was your last day
Show your love
Shout it passionately out loud
If you're not loving
You're not living
We're out of time now
So as if we're praying
In front of this candle of life
That could burn out
Let's talk about love
Yes.
Those were the lyrics.
This was it.
After all we did to borrow this set,
how could you waste it like this?
I don't think I wasted it.
This was very nice of you,
but you won't ever succeed
if you keep yielding to others.
Ran-joo.
Back when I lived on Chunsam Island,
Ki-ho once asked me something.
He asked me what I'd do once I met you.
So I told him
I'd be focused as I sing.
And you did just that.
So you successfully sing
in front of Yoon Ran-joo.
Then what?
"Then what?"
Then…
It's a secret.
Then what?
And then…
I was going to say
that I wanted to be like you.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
I'd say I wanted
to become a singer like you.
And what kind of singer is that?
Someone who made her mom
give up on her dream?
I didn't know what kind
of singer you were back then.
You were just a famous singer in my eyes.
But today,
it's finally become crystal clear
what kind of singer I want to be.
And what's that?
I can't explain it in words.
Just exactly the type
of singer you were today.
What are you talking about?
When I lost my voice, I thought,
"I love singing,
but singing doesn't love me back."
"That's why it has abandoned me."
But after seeing my mom today…
I realized I could never
give up on singing.
What choice do I have?
I'll have to keep pursuing it.
BROTHERS SALON
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
All right.
Okay.
How great is this?
I have no customers
at this hour on a weekday.
And I get to trim your hair.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Right.
This will be our last time
if we end up behind bars.
You and your tongue.
You fool.
Why ruin the moment
with something that hasn't even happened?
Enjoy it!
Enjoy it like a man.
Enjoy this leisurely time like me--
Honey.
We got mail.
What? Okay.
Thank you.
What is it?
My credit card expired,
so I ordered a new one.
-Dad!
-Honey!
Let's go trim your hair.
I'll finish it for you.
-What's wrong?
-Wait--
It's three years, not four.
Okay.
And add a link to the music video below.
All right.
But Mr. Park, I thought
you were on Eun Mo-rae's team.
When you email the reporters,
don't forget to include him.
Yes, sir.

"'As If Today Was Your Last Day'
Climbs the Charts."
"Yoon Ran-joo is No Longer a Risk
to RJ But a Legend."
I love the articles.
"Yoon Ran-joo's new single
is climbing the charts."
"Her new song 'As If Today Was
Your Last Day' was released on the 16th,
and it has been well-received
by the public as it climbs the charts."
"Music critic Ahn Ju-seong
praised the song,
saying only Yoon Ran-joo
could sing it with the right feel."
"'As If Today Was Your Last Day'
is currently in the top ten."
"Will it be able to
come in at number one?"
Yong-gwan.
What rank is our song right now?
Well, it differs for every chart,
but it's always in the top ten.
My mom is going to get so many royalties.
It's a shame she didn't get to know that.
I'm sure now
she'll keep watching over you
from the heavens.
Do you think my mom's life…
had a happy ending?
You just need a happy ending.
The person who completes her story
is you.
You're…
really incredible.
I am?
Please write your name here.
Okay.
-Thank you.
-Have a nice day.
Is it from the prosecution?
Yes.
I hope it just ends here.
Going to trial would be terrible.
We can't help it if we do though.
FROM SEOUL HANGANG PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
TO JUNG KI-HO
Hello?
It's me. Ki-ho.
The prosecutors' office sent us a notice.
FROM SEOUL HANGANG PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
TO JUNG BONG-WAN
Ran-joo.
This won't open. What should I do?
Is it locked?
Yes.
Do you have the key?
No, I don't--
One minute.
DIARY
APRIL TO MAY 1970
I think it's her diary.
There are old letters too.
What is this?
It looks like this document
had been shredded.
What kind of document is this?
Hello, President Lee.
Hello. Come on in.
-It's nice to see you.
-Likewise.
This way, please.
Hello.
May I?
I think this is
an overseas export invoice.
What?
Didn't you release a Japanese album once?
Yes, I did.
I think it's been about a decade.
The drama with my song
on its soundtrack was a hit there. Why?
Wasn't your album in the market?
Was it?
I think this is the invoice.
But why would my mom…
Don't let
President Lee find out about it.
How many were sold?
About 140,000 albums.
Doesn't this mean
you sold over 20 million a long time ago?
No way.
Did President Lee
purposely leave this out?
Just for the shares?
In life…
SHARE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMEN
you'll learn that some people become happy
over other people's misfortunes.
Please let me know if you'd like to
revise anything in the contract.
You'll learn
that many become jealous
of other people's successes.
That's because…
when their lives become pathetic,
they refuse to blame themselves.
That's why they blame it on others
and want to bring them down.
Because that's easier.
Goodness!
We did it!
NOTICE OF CASE RESUL
It's extremely difficult
to sincerely root for other people.
NO CHARGES
LACK OF EVIDENCE
And it's even harder
to be genuinely happy for others
without feeling any jealousy
or expecting anything in return.
Mok-ha, that's the reason why
you're incredible.
Let's see.
Are the colors too similar?
It's too tacky.
This one too.
Pick the best one.
Goodness.
Gosh, let me get it.
Mok-ha.
Mok-ha!
Goodness, I can't believe this.
Is it you, Young-ju?
Yes, it's me. Moon Young-ju!
Goodness, Young-ju!
Goodness! I heard the news!
You're married now!
How did you survive
on that dangerous island?
What took you so long to reach out?
I was dying to reach out to you!
How's Dae-woong?
I heard he was badly hurt!
-Dae-woong?
-Yeah.
Goodness, Dae-woong.
-Goodness.
-What's going on?
Dae-woong.
Mok-ha. Ki-ho.
Are you okay? Can you walk?
I've been putting my all
into rehabilitation.
I heard you didn't have to go to trial.
I'm truly happy for you.
All right.
Let's not be all huddled up at the door.
Why don't you come inside and chat?
Goodness.
I really wanted to see you, ma'am.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Mok-ha's friend, Moon Young-ju.
Nice to meet you.
Gosh, come on in.
Yes. Come on in.
Goodness, poor Dae-woong.
This one is pretty.
I'll take this one.
The biggest cake with fruit.
-This one?
-Yes.
-That'll be 62,000 won.
-Okay.
LETTERING SERVICE
Could you write something
on the cake for me too?
Of course.
You can write it down here.
Okay. One moment, please.
Here you go.
-Did you pick one?
-You startled me!
What are you doing here?
It's raining.
Jeez.
You almost gave me a heart attack.
-Which one did you get?
-It's a secret.
-Which one?
-Just eat it later.
-I mean, I will eat it.
-Just eat the cake.
Why are you all upset?
You scared me.
Why didn't Woo-hak tell us
when he already knew?
I told him not to.
I made him promise me.
Why?
I was terrified of Mr. Jung,
and Dae-woong still wasn't stable.
Even still.
You should've called me.
I was going to when the timing was right.
Like today.
Let's meet up often.
Nothing's holding us back now.
Yeah, let's do that.
By the way,
do you guys all have insurance?
For example, medical or dental insurance.
We just got here
and you're trying to sell insurance?
Cut it out while I'm still being nice.
Why is he taking so long to buy a cake?
Dad, don't tell me you wrote
something on the cake. That's tacky.
Jeez, I didn't.
But why would that be tacky?
So you did.
What did you write?
Something tacky
like you love us or whatever?
I didn't write anything,
but why would that be tacky?
Dad, what's wrong?
Dad.
What's going on?
Call 911. Please call 911 right now!
Dad!
What do we do?
Call 911.
Please call 911!
Dad, no.
Dad.
Wake up, Dad.
Dad!
Please call 911.
Dad.
Hello? Is this 911?
Dad.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
CASTAWAY DIVA
One, two, three.
Please.
You will never be able to divorce me.
You will also live
with my surname forever.
You want me to switch songs?
What are you talking about?
How low can you possibly go?
The biggest regret in life
is not expressing your true feelings.
When I found you on the deserted island,
do you think it was a coincidence?
How could that have been a coincidence?
-Seo Mok-ha!
-Seo Mok-ha!
It was fate.
