I clearly told you to go.
If you don't go now…
I'll never let go of your hand.
Did you get some sleep?
Why didn't you leave?
I didn't want you to be alone when you woke up.
I should get going.
Okay.
Sleep more. I'll take the first bus.
Thank you.
You stayed with me.
Thanks for that.
As long as you're not mean to me,
I can stay with you whenever you need me.
People use about ten facial muscles when they smile.
But when they frown, they use almost all their facial muscles.
Instead of frowning with effort,
I recommend that you fill your day with bright smiles.
Sue's Morning Journey begins now.
THE STORY OF HWANGCHEON
IM CHEOL-U
"My poor children. Sorrow is your strength.
Pain, resentment and remorse
are your strengths.
With those strengths…"
"With those strengths,
manage to survive in this ugly and scary world.
Manage to survive."
It's so like you, Granny.
Mr. Seo.
Oh, you're early.
This is good. I like it. But isn't it too open?
Some people don't want to be seen when they're in sorrow.
That's true.
But it's a place where people can cry freely without caring about others.
I want them to just express their sorrow when they're here.
-Excuse me, sir. -Move!
I'm really sorry. I sincerely apologize. It was my mistake.
Why did you let yourself make such a mistake?
Why the hell did you make a mistake when you were constructing that building?
Just express their sorrow? Would that be possible?
Sorry?
"Victims are filled with sadness."
"Poor people are nicer."
"Disabled people are weak."
Those are preconceived notions.
Poor people can be greedy, and disabled people can be frauds.
Victims can also be perpetrators.
Mr. Seo.
The people who will visit the memorial park most often
will probably be those who will live in that area.
I understand where you're coming from.
But you're no longer just a victim.
Don't forget that you're an architect now.
I'm sorry. I said I'd leave it to you.
But I interfered too much.
LAND SALE CONTRACT
Wiring me the money today?
I will so you can't change your mind.
Jeez, I was always short of money no matter how hard I worked.
But you make easy gains.
Hey! Do you know how much we're losing on this contract?
-Shall we do the math and see how much? -That's enough. Let's end it here.
Your decision is firm anyway.
Can I get back to work next week?
I'll speak with the site manager first.
Please tell him not to be so hard on me.
Gosh, that penniless jerk doesn't have any manners either.
Mr. Lee.
What? Is there anything else?
Were you very close to the deceased?
Why do you ask?
I'm curious to know why she gave the land to you.
You compete even with your family members, so it's not something you can understand.
What are you going to do now?
Does Ms. Ha know that you're coming back to the site?
I'm going to tell her.
What's with that face?
You told me not to run away.
I'm just jealous of Ms. Ha.
I'm going to face it,
so you can go in reverse or go straight.
Try to work it out.
He won't even budge.
-What can I do by myself? -Then let him go.
And if you have no courage to do so, just run away.
I have nowhere to go.
Yes, you do.
If people find out someone like you is loyal to one man,
they'll make fun of you.
Wake up.
Thank you for helping me modify the terms of the contract.
I figured it was worth it. That's why.
Don't delude yourself.
Oh, hey!
Gang-du!
-Drink this. -Thanks.
Chief was summoned to the head office. He couldn't even eat lunch.
The news of your return made him so angry. It was good news for me though.
-Was everything okay while I was gone? -Don't get me started on that.
Mr. Seo kicked up a fuss, so we reinspected the ground.
All we did was dispose of waste materials.
"Where am I? Who am I?" I even suffered from an identity crisis.
That's why I've been waiting for you.
-For me? -Yes.
-I was scared of being alone. -Why?
There's a strange rumor.
-What rumor? -People keep seeing strange things.
You know this is a place where a big accident took place, right?
There was a rumor that they just buried everything to wrap it up quickly.
They didn't even retrieve the bodies.
A chill runs down my spine whenever I'm on a night shift.
What are you doing?
I said, help me.
Hey! Wait!
Get me out of here too!
There are people here!
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Yes, I am.
Goodness.
What's that? Hey, there!
You need to be careful!
For goodness sake.
Victims can also be perpetrators.
I understand where you're coming from.
But you're no longer just a victim.
Don't forget that you're an architect now.
Hey.
Hi.
-Hello? -Yes? What?
What do you mean, what? You called me.
Oh, that's right. Did you eat?
I didn't feel like eating. What about you?
Me neither. I just ate a little bit.
Why did you eat just a little? You should eat well.
Are you off work?
Yes. What about you?
What did you do today?
I took a walk.
Where did you go?
Just here and there.
While I was walking around…
I realized that I was thinking about you.
I miss you.
Where are you now?
Right now, I am…
Oh, it's delicious.
-You eat so prettily. -What?
You must be busy being cute.
You said you had no appetite.
I had no appetite earlier.
But I became hungry when I saw you.
I want to eat mandu too. Do you want one?
Yes.
-One kimchi mandu, please. -Okay.
-And five mandu to go. -Okay.
My mom and auntie love it.
-I'm glad. -What?
I'm glad I got to see you today.
Me too.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
-Oh, it's hot! -Are you okay?
No. Gosh, it's hot.
It's so hot.
But it's delicious.
It's nothing.
What?
I mean, happiness.
Granny! Are you watching us?
SANHO PUBLIC BATH
Oh, dear. It's so cold.
OPEN
My goodness.
Auntie.
Oh, you're home.
Nice. I was worried you'd already left.
-Mandu. -Oh, I love it.
Who's the guy that walked you home?
Did you see him?
Please don't tell Mom.
Why not? I love seeing how lovey-dovey you young kids are.
Not now.
She won't approve.
Not too many people in this world can make you smile like this.
Your mom wouldn't be able to say anything if she saw your face now.
Goodness, look at you. You look so happy.
It's cold. Let's hurry in.
27,300 won.
I told you not to disturb me.
What is it?
What are you doing with them during peak business hours?
-I'll pay them. -You don't need all these girls.
You're wasting your money, and we're taking a loss.
Why should we do that?
Otherwise, you wouldn't even see me.
You left and didn't even answer my calls.
If you feel sorry, just apologize. I'll accept it.
I can't, so I'm doing this.
I prefer throwing money at problems.
That's the only way I know!
You're disgusted with me, right?
I know.
Not many people like me.
-You know? -Yes.
People always crawl to me, but they talk behind my back.
Did you think I didn't know?
It's a relief if you do.
But don't worry about it.
No matter what they do, they're just your subordinates.
That's why they curse you.
I know that too.
I signed the contract with Lee Gang-du.
Why is that jerk always full of confidence?
He was supposed to express his gratitude to me, but he didn't!
Good. You should smile. You look pretty when you smile.
Why? Do I look like your first love when I smile?
You do.
But that's not why I like you.
That wench was bad.
At least you don't talk crap about love.
You're cool about love. And that's what I like about you.
You'll come with me to Eulsukdo Island, right?
What are you doing, Gang-du?
The man from room 201 picked this up.
I'm exhausted from hanging it up.
-Doesn't it look cool? -Yes.
It clears your head too.
I think it's a good one.
Ms. Kim.
-Are you okay, Ms. Kim? -No.
I couldn't sleep for several days.
I worked really hard to meet the deadline.
But did I do all that to get criticized like this?
I'm fed up with it.
Fine.
I'll quit everything. That won't hurt me.
I don't have any pleasure in my life.
What will you do if you quit?
Whatever you do, you can't avoid criticism.
Just be grateful that you can do what you like for a living.
Hey, have you forgotten that you used to post hate comments?
You only complained despite the chances you had, so I was mad.
But I shouldn't have made personal attacks. I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Why do I keep on doing this work?
"If you just run away, you can never get to heaven.
All you'll see is…"
"Battlegrounds."
Don't think about anything. Just get some rest.
I'll assist you starting tomorrow.
I must be out of my mind!
MEMORIAL PARK SITE CHANGE
FUTURE PLANS
Mr. Jung gladly approved this?
Not gladly.
But anyway, he did.
-The memorial park design is… -I know Mun-su is working on it.
I'll help her from the site when I get back.
Didn't Ms. Jung tell you?
It's kind of sudden. What happened?
Luckily, a person like me got a chance too.
So I seized it.
You know I have feelings for Mun-su.
Your private life is not my concern.
-Why are you coming back-- -Because of Mun-su.
I gave up on her because I didn't think I could become a good person like you.
But if I make an effort,
I think I can become a good person to at least one person.
I'm going to give it a try.
Why are you here?
I'm here to work. Why else would I be here?
Here?
-You're moving it here? -Yes.
It's the center.
Exactly.
It stands out. And people can see it as they walk by.
It's nice.
Nothing is going to change. You just go ahead with your plan.
What is this?
Come to think of it, my dad used to write in this notebook when he came home.
I think you'd understand what he had written.
How the shopping mall was built
and what problems it had.
-Are you leaving? -Yes. I have something to do.
Oh, right. We have to see each other later, if just for a moment.
Why?
I'm planning to look super cool today.
-Would you like to see more suits? -Yes.
Just a moment, please.
-Gang-du. Let's leave. -Why?
Look at this place. It looks very expensive.
-We don't have money. -We do.
We do?
Yes. Go pick out a pair of shoes too.
Shoes? Hurray!
What?
Hey. What on earth…
Huh? Jeez.
DAY LOAN UP TO 50 MILLION WON
Boy.
Is it real?
-Yes. -Goodness.
Gang-du.
See you again.
Why would I see you again? I won't.
Let's go.
Come again.
Did you see them crawl to me?
They harassed me for years.
-Did you see? -Yes.
Gosh! Money is good!
It's so good!
Gang-du. I'm hungry.
What are we going to eat?
B-11?
B-11 ZONE
The shopping mall blueprint? Why do you need it?
I wonder if I can see it.
It's been over ten years, so Mr. Seo must have it.
Go ask him.
Can you get it for me?
Gang-du. Judging from the way things have been going, this isn't right.
What's best in the winter?
-Fish cakes. -Correct.
-It's good, right? -Yes, it is.
Gang-du. We have a lot of money now. Let's just buy this store.
Then we can eat fish cakes all winter long.
It's not my money.
I need to work hard until the day I die to repay Granny.
-Gang-du, I think God exists. -What?
I think he sent Granny to you because he felt sorry for you.
He must've felt really sorry.
I'll eat something spicy too.
Tteokbokki, please.
-He sent you to me too. -What?
Nothing. Enjoy.
Give me one too.
Welcome.
He isn't back yet. Wait for him in his room.
-Not yet? -I don't know.
The two of them went out and haven't called all day.
I'll call them now.
-Go up. -Okay.
Have this. It's still warm.
It smells good. Thank you.
Hey. Where are you guys?
It's way past dinnertime. Why aren't you coming home?
Could you bring one of his pills to me?
Look at these little pills. When it goes into your body,
your brain can't feel any pain.
Imagine how toxic it must be to fool your body like that.
What? Do I look super cool?
I told you I was planning to look cool today.
Why are you all dressed up? Is it a special day?
-Yes. -What special day is it?
They day I was reborn as a social person.
What?
Won't you congratulate me?
How?
Mun-su! Look at me! Gang-du bought me a suit…
Go ahead. Finish what you were doing.
I'm a good-for-nothing.
All I know is martial arts. It's all useless.
Hi, Wan-jin.
Goodness.
What's going on?
You told me to hurry home.
Did I?
She said she ran away.
-What? -Ma'am.
From what I heard, it's true. She ran away from a man.
A man?
You finish this. I'm going upstairs.
You're young, single, and interested in him.
Why would you run away?
That's my house. I didn't run away.
If you like him, date him. Once you do it, it won't be a big deal.
-I'll sleep here tonight. -Okay.
What is it?
You're always with him. Of course he's on your mind.
It's not like that.
I can only see his good sides, and it's driving me insane.
He's reliable for his age.
And he's more diligent than I thought.
It seems that he lived a tough life, but he didn't go astray.
That shouldn't drive you insane. You should be happy.
-Hey. You should stop me. -Why?
If I go crazy and come on to him, that's considered sexual harassment.
He seems to be interested in you too.
He used to post hate comments about you, but then suddenly came to assist you.
Think about how he treats you. The answer is obvious.
Forget it. No, it can't happen. Stop.
You made it even worse.
What about you? You got to see Gang-du today, right?
Come on. Hey, aren't you going to tell me?
What?
Tell me.
-There's nothing to tell you. -Tell me.
-What? -Aren't you going to tell me? Hey.
I won't stop until you tell me.
RED CLAY SAUNA FOR WOMEN
Hey.
-I put the clothes… -Tell me.
-Tell you what? -What happened? Hey.
-Tell me. -Nothing happened.
Come on. Tell me.
Hey, aren't you going to tell me?
I'm going to do this until you tell me.
Just tell me.
Nothing happened.
I think something happened between you two.
-How's your mother? -She drank all night.
She can't even get up today.
Here.
Wan-jin, what's the color of the pill you just took?
What? Maybe white. Why do you ask?
The pills Gang-du takes are blue.
Is that so important?
No.
I hope it isn't.
Thank you. I was worried he'd pretend to be fine if I asked for it.
Please let me know if it's something bad for him.
Okay. Bye, then.
Wait.
What you told me the other day.
About the accident.
He spent days with a dead body.
It'll only torment him to remember that.
You said he didn't tell you.
Ask him yourself if you want to know more.
Even though we're family, I don't think I should speak about it.
Mr. Moon Byeong-ho's body wasn't retrieved.
He had a wife and a son.
Huh?
It's here.
I must be materialistic.
The fact that she lives in this nice house makes me feel a bit relieved.
Just a minute.
Tae-ho, go into your room.
Hurry.
He thinks my second husband is his real dad.
Oh, I see. I got it.
-Please read this first-- -No.
I don't think it's something you need my consent for.
Does he have any other family?
His father passed away a few years ago.
And I heard his older brother emigrated.
I lost contact with them long ago.
Do you think I'm bad?
No. Thank you for meeting with us like this.
I heard the place is under construction.
Yes.
It'll be gone for real then.
We couldn't even find a bone from his body.
So now,
it feels like he's away on a long journey.
I just can't get an answer, so I'm just going to forget about it.
I won't suffer if there's nothing to remember.
We're sorry.
We'll take care of this.
VICTIM INFORMATION MOON BYEONG-HO
DATE OF BIRTH: APRIL 21, 1973
This is what he looked like.
I only wanted to forget the bad things.
But now, I don't remember the good times either.
-What? -Don't you feel the same way?
Don't you want to forget it all?
Isn't this stressful for you?
As if you're talking about someone else. Isn't it hard for you?
I don't know…
if I can do this well or what is right.
There's no right answer.
We just need to do what we can and do our best.
Let's go.
You need to get back.
It's cold. Let's take a taxi.
It's rush hour.
The bus will take me directly to the office.
Why did you wear something thin if you were going to take the bus?
I thought it was inappropriate to wear a jumper as a visitor.
For goodness sake.
-No, don't take it off. -Why not?
You'll be cold too then.
I'd rather shiver in the cold than see you shiver in the cold.
I mean it.
All right. I won't take it off.
Instead…
Until the bus comes, let's stay like this.
What? You're heavy.
Endure it.
-Is it because you run a bathhouse? -What?
You smell good.
NOODLES AND GIMBAP
Jeez, my personal trainer told me not to eat flour-based foods.
You look fine, Mr. Jung.
I'm in good shape because I work out regularly.
If I get a pot-belly, my wife will…
What's wrong? We're not dating.
Hey, we eat and drink coffee together.
What we're doing now is kind of like dating.
Do you own any land around here?
Of course not. And I don't like real estate.
I prefer movable assets. Then I can leave at any time.
You can't leave.
If you want to make money, stay here.
I'll redevelop this area next year.
I haven't been able to do it for the past ten years.
If I don't do it next year, the permits will expire…
Forget it. Just buy some land before that.
Should I buy you some?
I feel a deep sense of responsibility for the shopping mall collapse.
I'll bow my head in apology.
We worked really hard on it to make up for lost time.
All this area will be… Oh, gosh!
-What do you think you're doing? -Get out.
-Why are you doing this, sir? -I said, get out!
This man is crazy!
Let's go. I'll ask him why he did this later.
Jeez.
The shopping mall blueprint.
Oh, thank you.
There isn't much to look at.
My team reviewed it once before but didn't find any problems.
-Then why did he die? -Sorry?
The architect. I heard he committed suicide.
-Really? -Did he?
He wouldn't have died if he had been innocent.
I wouldn't, feeling wronged.
-Is that so? -It's strange.
How could he die irresponsibly like that after giving a word of apology?
Are you okay, Mun-su?
I'll get you water.
Mr. Seo.
Go home. You don't look well.
No.
How could he die irresponsibly like that after throwing out an apology?
You killed all those people. You think sorry is going to cut it?
Is this such a simple problem for you?
Darn it.
Look at your face. My goodness.
-What brings you here? -I didn't volunteer to come.
I came instead of Mun-su.
Instead of Mun-su?
She called in sick today.
-She's sick? -You didn't know?
Oh, that must've been because you were busy flirting with Ms. Jung.
What are you saying?
I hate the kind of guy who hits on every girl he sees.
Do you have an extra pair of work shoes? I don't want to get my pants dirty.
About Mun-su. What seems to be the problem?
Gosh, it's chilly. Come and take a sauna.
-I'm okay. -No, you're not.
Sweating is the best remedy for a cold.
Take a hot bath and go up to get some rest.
Come on. Hurry up and go.
-Hey. -I heard you're sick.
I'm fine now.
You don't sound fine at all.
I'm getting better.
Gosh, your clothes were too thin yesterday.
Did you eat something?
I have a sore throat, so I can't eat anything.
What should I feed you? Is there anything you want to eat?
Ice cream.
I'll eat ice cream.
Ice cream? Do you have some at home?
I don't know.
What time is it now?
You're up.
-Come on out. Eat and sleep. -Okay.
I'll call you later.
Why are you not eating?
For goodness sake.
Mix it with the soup and eat a few mouthfuls.
I have a sore throat. I can't eat anymore.
You need to eat to take medicine!
GANG-DU
Why isn't she answering?
Mom.
Oh. Hello. Nice to meet you.
GANG-DU FOUR MISSED CALLS
What are you doing?
Goodness.
Are you crazy?
Ice cream--
-What's going on? -You wanted ice cream.
I thought you were asleep, so I was going to hang it on the window.
Goodness.
-Mun-su. -What do we do?
Are you sleeping, Mun-su?
Hey, it's dangerous.
Go under this. Hurry.
Lie down.
I dozed off.
Why did you lock the door?
I didn't know it was locked.
Goodness. I was worried.
What's wrong with your face? Are you getting a fever again?
It's just hot in here because of the heater.
-What's up? -Drink this before going to sleep.
I boiled ginger and dates.
It's hot.
Goodness, you need to cool it down.
Put it next to you and drink it when you're thirsty.
Goodness.
Aren't you leaving?
After I see you lie down. Go. I'll turn off the light for you.
Okay.
Lie down.
Sleep tight.
You're safe now. Come out.
Come out.
What's wrong?
What if you catch a cold from me?
You might catch a cold.
That's good.
I'll take all your cold viruses.
What do we do?
It's obvious. I'll go out the way I came in.
-What? -I'll get going.
Hey.
You scared me.
I'll go for real.
-Are you okay? -Yes.
Go back in.
SANHO PUBLIC BATH
You were dying yesterday.
How did you get better in a day?
I guess I ate and slept well. I'm full of energy.
Goodness. It's good to be young.
-I'm off to work. -Bye.
Hey. Wear a scarf, or you'll get sick again.
I'll be fine. Bye.
For goodness sake.
I don't like her when she's like that.
THE COLLAPSED SHOPPING MALL
WILL BE REGENERATED INTO THE CRADLE OF LIFE
A pillar came out during excavation. I feel uneasy about it.
To move it, we need to demolish it first.
Should we dig in the spot?
No. There's no need to go through the hassle.
Handle it as waste.
As waste?
Yes.
BUS STOP: SPACE S MALL
MEDICAL INNOVATION CITY, BIOTOWN
SPECIAL THANKS TO LEE JI-HYEON
How did you know Mun-su likes the type who enjoys carrots?
Do I?
But isn't it nice?
He can eat neither chicken feet nor soju.
You sure he's not picky?
Love makes people become biased like that.
I'm really fine. I don't need anything.
Yes, you're fine.
Even though I'm slow-witted, I won't ask you to pick out your own gift.
-When did you buy this? -When you weren't looking.
I'm jealous of you. You work and date at the same time.
You startled me.
I fooled you. When did you come?
A while ago.
You guys meet, eat fish cakes, take a walk,
and play on the swings,
and you walk her home.
That's not all, right?
A suite is as cheap as a motel room.
You can watch movies and satisfy your physical hunger too.
There are places like that? It's fascinating.
Stay here.
If that hadn't happened, everything would've been fine.
So we must work hard to be happier…
Gang-du!
…than anyone else.
