01x08 - Is It Possible to Buy Someone's Feelings?

Post by bunniefuu »

The moon is bright tonight.

It's the streetlamp.

I see.

It's the streetlamp.

Goodbye

Right. Goodbye.

Wait!

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

To take the bus.

Are you telling me

to send a woman home alone

on a bus at this hour?

Furthermore, just a few moments ago,

something huge happened.

What do you mean by that?

Get in my car.

Don't make me a bad person.

I'm more comfortable taking the bus.

-I'll just take the bus.

-No!

The bus station is right in front,

so you don't have to worry

I drank.

What?

Are you going to let someone

who drank drive?

If you do,

you'll be charged

with aiding and abetting.

I was turning on the GPS.

Right

What's the address of the friend's house?

-Why?

-My gosh.

Let's go to your friend's house first.

I can call a driver from there.

Right

-What's the address?

-You don't have to put it in!

I know how to get there.

It's not like I'm going to hurt you.

-Hey

-Hey

You can go first.

No. You can go first.

It's ladies bust.

-What?

-No, I meant "ladies first."

You can go first.

Your lips

My lips?

What about them?

Wipe them off

because you have lipstick on them.

We're here. You can get out.

Thank you.

-What?

-What?

Wait

How did you know I lived here?

You said you lived with Won-tak.

You said you didn't know where he lived.

Well

Won-tak!

Hi!

Did you come out to throw out the trash?

What's going on?

Mr. Jin drank, so I drove.

What?

No. It's not that.

I wanted to take her home

because it's dangerous.

While we're on that topic,

can you drive me home?

I have a friend

that I've been staying with.

My friend's house.

Forget it.

"Your Won-tak" can go home and rest.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

No, Mr. Jin. You drank,

so you should go in and rest.

My Won-tak will take me home.

Right?

Right

Goodbye

My gosh.

Gosh

"My Won-tak."

"My Won-tak!"

After kissing me just a while ago,

how dare she go home arm in arm

with another guy?

I wasn't going to brush my teeth today.

Why did I do that?

Why?

Hormones?

Ovulation?

Did his tears

pull at my heartstrings?

No, that's not why.

Then could I be

Can I go in?

Sure. You can.

Are you going somewhere?

It's an emergency,

so I need to go right now.

I see.

Are you sure everything's fine?

Yes, it is.

If something is bothering you,

just tell me.

That time at the police station

and even just a while ago

I'm suspicious of you two.

What do you mean?

Are you

Am I

Are you being threatened by him?

What?

A threat doesn't have to be

that complicated.

Whether it's physical or emotional,

it's a threat if you feel afraid.

As your creditor,

he has the right to his money.

But he still can't mistreat you like this.

Why would you drive

around that drunk jerk?

Right. He's my creditor,

and I'm his debtor.

-What?

-You're right.

Hey. Are you even listening to me?

What?

Yes, I am.

Anyway

even if he's your creditor,

don't let him walk all over you.

Do you need my help?

It's okay. I'll take care of it.

I'll let you know if anything happens.

Get it together, Da-li.

I can't believe this.

Are they seriously in line

to see our exhibition?

They're not our creditors?

I even slapped my face

to check if this was a dream.

My gosh. What's the matter with you?

This isn't a dream, right?

Hello, everyone.

Ms. Kim.

Congratulations.

Yes!

Gosh. This is a celebration!

Yes!

By the way,

who do you think invited

the celebrities and influencers?

I'm sure they heard about it.

Right, they probably did.

She has become very famous

after the press conference.

Tell me about it.

Everyone was looking up the jewelry

and dress she wore.

-I had never seen a star before.

-Me neither.

They must've had a reason they came.

If they wear a certain dress

or carry a certain bag,

the sales for that brand will skyrocket.

It's all related to money. Money.

Was it Tae-jin?

Look. As someone

who's working in the arts,

you shouldn't obsess over money too much.

It's true that money is important,

but there are many precious things

in this world that can't be bought.

Remember that. Okay?

In any case, the press conference

made them come to our exhibition

without us having to pay them.

Gosh, she must be

worth her weight in gold.

You're our museum's

lucky charm.

Please don't say that.

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

Please stop.

You guys did most of the work.

If you're going to be humble like that,

we have no choice but to cheer even more.

-Let's do it.

-All right.

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

-Kim Da-li!

Hello

-Why

-Let's have our meeting.

We're having a meeting today?

-Let's go.

-Seriously?

Hold on.

Where's my notebook?

Hey

Why would you push me?

Then we'll plan the Cheongsong Art Camp

with Dondon F&B

I'll send the materials over to them

as soon as I'm done.

I'll visit the orphanage myself.

What's next?

I'd like to offer a certain service

to our visitors.

In order to help parents

enjoy the exhibitions

without having to worry about their kids,

how about we make our own kids cafe?

That won't do.

Society may have become more liberal now,

but what did you say? A kiss cafe?

Why do they need to come here to kiss?

He meant kids cafe. Kids.

Was my pronunciation that bad?

That was a "D." A kids cafe.

Not a kiss cafe. A kids cafe.

Next to contact is Keith Haring

How can you kiss without any contact?

Is that possible?

That's the artist's name.

Keith Haring.

Keith Haring?

What kind of name is that?

Are you sure it's his real name?

The Cheongsong workshop

that'll begin next week

will be about poems and famous paintings.

Romantic poets such as Wordsworth, Byron

And Keats.

Keats. Not kiss.

Keats

Keats

-His name is Keats.

-Keats.

Gosh. I'm sorry.

Keats

Keats. I got it.

Go on.

Did you get home safe yesterday?

What's wrong?

What is it this time?

Mr. Jin.

I'm listening.

Why are you doing this?

Doing what?

If you're uncomfortable

about what happened yesterday

What's there to feel uncomfortable about?

It's not like

we're teenagers.

We're two grown adults.

After the exhibition, I was exhausted.

And due to the mood, I made a mistake.

A mistake?

-Discourtesy?

-Discourtesy?

-An accident?

-An accident?

Call it whatever you want,

but I'd like to apologize.

Let's pretend like it never happened.

Can we go back to being

a friendly creditor and debtor?

Like you said, we're grown adults.

Let's be mature about it.

The staff here are watching

and there's a ton of things to do.

Do you kiss men by mistake?

I never make mistakes with anything

that involves my mouth.

Eating, talking,

and the thing we did yesterday.

And what kind of mistake is that intense

It wasn't intense.

It wasn't a mistake for me.

So I want you

to think it over again

if the moment we shared yesterday

was truly a mistake or not.

Goodness

I'm sorry, sir.

This is quite a rough path.

I'm good.

This way, sir.

It's that house.

You're saying that's a house?

The rooftop of this building?

Yes

That's where Joo Won-tak lives.

And Da-li is staying with him?

Yes

-And

-There's more?

The building owner is Jin Mu-hak.

The gamjatangguy?

Seeing how he's been living here

for a long time,

this doesn't seem intentional.

It seems to be a coincidence.

A coincidence?

He has a lot of ways to get on my nerves.

SEOUL ART GALLERY WEDDING COSTS

No way.

Society may have become more liberal now,

but what did you say? A kiss cafe?

Why do they need to come here to kiss?

How can you kiss without any contact?

It wasn't a mistake for me.

So I want you

to think it over again

if the moment we shared yesterday

was truly a mistake or not.

Tae-jin?

Why are you here, Tae-jin?

I think I have more questions than you.

Come on! When your dog poops,

you ought to clean it up!

-What is it?

-Get in.

-Come on! Goodness.

-What's wrong?

Hey, what is it?

Sir, please drive. Let's go.

Go ahead.

Come on!

You can sit up now. We turned the corner.

How did you know I was here?

Which would be harder for me?

To understand this situation

or to find Won-tak's house?

A sponsorship association?

Young entrepreneurs meet up

when they have some spare time.

We go on yachts and play golf.

It's a social club.

You know social clubs love a reason

to get together.

They loved the idea of

a sponsorship association for Cheongsong.

As long as there's a good occasion,

they are willing to open up their wallets.

Come up with a nice program.

It was really tough for me.

To prepare for this exhibition,

I visited a lot of people

to get sponsorships.

And they were all my father's connections.

But all of them said the economy was tough

and they didn't have time.

It was hard to even get a meeting

with them.

To them, supporting the artists

wasn't the reason.

Your father was.

And after he passed away, they saw

no reason to open their wallets.

There have been a lot of new players

while you were away.

I'll introduce them to you one at a time.

Right. You're available

this weekend, right?

This weekend?

Yes. Come to our meeting this weekend.

It will be a good way to meet them.

This is good.

What is it? Do you already have plans?

I feel so pathetic.

I keep wondering

if I have always been this incompetent

and if there's nothing I can do on my own.

I keep getting help from you.

I'm coming to dislike myself.

Your father's death must have been

the hardest thing for you,

and you had to shoulder everything.

So you're not incompetent.

You gave up on your studies

which you loved

and liquidated your assets.

You gave up so many things

not to give up the museum.

Not everyone can do what you did.

You're doing a good job.

But where are we going now?

What is this?

It's the same passcode.

But I'm not sure if you remember it.

Let's talk inside.

I couldn't get rid of this place

because we picked it together.

But I couldn't live here either.

Nobody knows about this place

except for my secretary and me.

Which means it can be kept a secret.

Kept a secret?

Don't think too much about it.

It's just an empty house.

You can come and stay whenever you need to

and leave whenever you want.

Though it'd be better if you didn't.

Da-li

What do you want me to do?

Just do nothing

after seeing you live somewhere

that can barely be called a house?

I'm not buying you a house.

Can't I do at least this much for you?

Even if everyone else can,

you shouldn't.

What?

You left me in the rain

as if I were some infectious person

a few days before our wedding.

Now that I have nowhere to go,

you bring me here out of sympathy?

To the house we were to live in?

Are you being considerate?

Did you think I would be touched

if the password hadn't changed?

How are you so cool about this?

How can you

Did it mean nothing to you?

If it meant nothing,

I'd never have let you be

in this position.

When I saw you at the funeral,

I wanted to stay by your side.

Don't you understand?

I've been nervous and cautious

to make sure that you wouldn't get hurt

or run away.

Not because I don't have feelings for you,

but because I didn't want to use

the situation to my advantage.

Let's start over.

What?

For the past five years,

I've never stopped thinking about you.

Every day was painful

because of the choice I made.

You haven't gotten over me either,

am I wrong?

You're right.

I haven't.

How could I,

when I heard something like that?

But

what you couldn't do five years ago,

you sure you can do it now?

Isn't the museum different at this hour?

The pictures shine more brightly

after a good night's sleep.

Does that mean

our dates will be here at this time

every day once we get married?

Every day?

You'll come here with me every day?

Of course.

I'll stick to you wherever you go,

like a piece of gum.

No matter what happens.

I'll follow you

to the ends of the earth, forever.

DA-LI

Hey. I'm about to

I'm about to head home.

Can I get anything on the way?

Where?

Just like when she was young.

What are you doing out here?

I just like this neighborhood.

It has a playground

and a convenience store nearby.

The night view from the rooftop rocks.

Aren't all neighborhoods like that?

So come home and sleep.

You always sleep at the station

saying you have to work late.

I know it's because of me.

If you continue to do that,

I can't stay here.

Who said I was doing it for you?

That's what detectives do.

Did something happen today?

No

For the first time in a while,

some guy kind of asked me out.

It felt good.

Kim Da-li's still got it.

And also

some other guy

proposed that I go live somewhere

really fancy.

Just a regular day.

One that can happen to anyone.

Did you see Jang Tae-jin?

Did that jerk ask you

to get back together with him?

To come live in his house?

What kind of

So what did you say?

You didn't say yes, did you?

If he thinks he can manipulate you

now that Director Kim has passed,

I won't keep still.

Do you still have feelings for him?

People can't change. He's a no.

Tae-jin and I are over.

He's someone from my past.

When things get hard

people say, "This too shall pass."

Pain, sadness.

That they'll all go away with time.

But if you think about it the other way,

that's a sad saying.

It means that the happiness

and love you had

will all disappear eventually.

Mom

Dad

Tae-jin

Nothing is forever, right?

Won-tak

Can you promise me

you'll stay for as long as you can?

Don't go away too fast.

If not, I might get too lonely.

Hey. Hold on.

Whenever I see you, you're quite

friendly

Maybe it's because

you're a police officer.

About Kim Da-li.

When you took her home,

-did she say anything?

-What would she say?

For example,

-something about me.

-No.

Don't answer me right away.

-Think about it for a second

-She didn't.

"My Won-tak."

You always give such short answers.

You use water and electricity in excess,

but I guess

you don't like to talk excessively.

What? Why? I'm just saying

that you seem friendly when you do that.

That's what I meant.

If you make Da-li

chauffeur you around again,

you're dead meat.

Why you

What do you take

the Majang-dong Fighter for?

If you weren't Da-li's friend

The night air is nice.

We see each other in the office every day.

Did you have to tell me

to come on the weekend too?

This is against labor laws.

Then move back in.

Right

You should eat at home

at least once a week.

Ma'am. Your meal is ready.

Okay. Let's go.

Eat at home? Right.

Even if it isn't homemade,

it's still eating at home.

Do we have to taste test the food

at home too?

Who said this was a taste test?

I'm eating this because it's good.

We're not working.

With flavors like this,

we don't have to test it.

We can just go ahead and open branches.

Gosh, this is incredible.

About the party.

When I heard it was being hosted

by Cheongsong,

I thought it would be incredible,

but I could've made better art

than what they had. Right?

I've never seen

such a large group of lunatics

gathered in one place before.

A crazy brat kept screaming,

and they put a living person in a coffin.

And people watched that

and clapped for them and drank.

It was quite a spectacle.

That's what art is like.

It's when people who have

nothing better to do show off their money.

Why would they show off their money?

My gosh!

You didn't feel anything

upon seeing those masterpieces?

-What? Masterpiece?

-What? Masterpiece?

Didn't you feel

something burning up in here?

Something that can't be expressed

in words.

Something catches you right here.

Get ready to catch this bone.

-Do you have indigestion?

-Want me to prick your fingers?

I have some medicine for GERD.

Go ahead and keep eating.

Whether I'm eating alone at home

or eating with you,

I'm still alone and lonely.

Why did I bother coming here? My gosh.

If you're lonely, get married.

Married? With whom?

Ahn Sang-tae's daughter?

An assemblyman is no big deal.

The one with money has the upper hand.

-My. It's like Hawaii.

-Goodness.

-Here.

-Thank you.

-What is this?

-Just like this

It's summer.

-You have something on your face.

-Gosh, stop.

Hold on.

Okay. I'll do it. I will.

Happy? I will.

The thing about marriage is

you must marry someone you like.

Not someone that likes you.

What are you talking about?

What do you think? He's talking nonsense.

Hey!

Take this with you.

JOKBALNIGHT MARKE

We bought another one,

so you can have it at home.

This too.

Is it doenjang?

It's a 100-year-old doenjang

from a head family.

Go home and make soup with it.

You should've wrapped it up in a cloth.

This is cramping my style.

Hey

How long are you going to leave

the museum like that?

What?

If you keep hesitating like that,

someone might show up

and say they'll pay the two billion won.

What will you do then?

Kim Da-li won't be able

to keep the museum.

Don't wear the poor girl down

by giving her false hope.

Just tell her that Dondon will take over.

What are you talking about?

You're not planning

on breaking even with the two billion won.

If you want the museum,

take it from her now.

Do it before someone comes

and takes it first.

There's something on your jacket.

Bye

Ms. Yeo. I need you to

look into something for me.

My brother?

He bought this land? Why?

You didn't know?

It's quite big.

Are they planning to develop the area?

This is a limited development district.

You can say that it will never get sold.

Or at least that's what I thought,

but it turned out I was wrong.

About five to six years ago,

people started selling

and buying secretly.

But recently, that has become more active.

Do you know when that started?

After Director Kim Nak-cheon passed away.

Right. You said that one time.

That there were many players

eyeing Cheongsong Museum of Art.

Where did you hear that from?

I guess Director Kim

was a pain in the neck

for everyone

who wanted to develop the area.

The land for the museum is located

in the most important part

of the district,

and he had a lot of social influence.

He even teamed up with NGOs

to make it clear

that he wouldn't let the area

get developed.

Apparently, he was very obstinate.

Kim Da-li won't be able

to keep the museum.

If you want the museum,

take it from her now.

Do it before someone comes

and takes it first.

But

I did some further research

and looked at the land registers.

Do you remember the VIPs

at the opening party?

Their names came up often on the list.

-You must've worked hard.

-Yes, of course.

It looks lovely.

-A student residence?

-Yes.

Why would you be interested in that?

I'm just curious about the cost.

It may vary

depending on the room condition.

But if you sell your scarf,

you could live there for three months.

Ms. Na.

Did I ever offend you?

Why does it seem

like you always dislike me?

Have you ever thought

that maybe the people around you

were just overly friendly?

What?

Think about it.

Everyone's dying to help you out.

They brown-nose you and act obsequiously.

Take the exhibition for example.

We pretty much prepared everything,

but only you were appreciated.

I envy you.

Thanks to your family name,

you have it easy.

I'm truly sorry if that's how you feel.

But Ms. Na,

there's always more to everything

than meets the eye.

You're right.

What you see isn't everything.

Hello, you're here.

Mr. Jin and his secretary

are slightly running late,

so they'll join you later.

Okay

This way.

Three Frogs of Sandro and Leonardo

isn't just a program

where we feed the kids.

We aim to help them understand

Leonardo da Vinci's work

by experiencing it themselves.

That's our aim.

We want a more realistic

Hello, Ms. Song. What is it?

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

They said we didn't pay

for Ham Yeon-ji's appearance.

I looked into it.

They're a PR company

that invites celebrities

to launch parties or opening events

then uploads the photos on social media.

Apparently, Dondon had hired them.

What should I do?

-This area is a green belt.

-Come in.

This area is the most important.

-I

-Sir.

Yes?

Is the meeting already over?

I was just about to join you guys.

Would you like some tea?

It's okay. You guys can leave.

Yes, sir.

Sit down.

What is it?

What has drained you like this?

Mr. Jin.

I'm listening.

Did you hire a PR company

for our opening event?

Did you invite idol members, NerTubers,

and influencers that we didn't?

That's true. Yes. I invited them.

What?

Gosh, I thought something horrible

had happened.

Gosh

Opening events have more impact

than you think.

If you're launching a new product

or opening a new business,

the place should be teeming with people.

And you should tell everyone about it.

Although it wasn't cheap,

I hired them so that we'd be off

to a good start.

We actually benefited from that.

Look. People are lining up

to see the exhibition.

Did you also hire the visitors

on that day?

Yes, I did. That didn't cost much.

So what if people hear the news?

You need to leave behind solid proof.

Just line a few of them up

and take some good photos,

and it'll look like the place

is teeming with people.

Why are you doing this?

Isn't it obvious?

To make money, of course.

Do you think I had money to waste?

Also, this is a business tactic

that even vendors use to lure kids.

It's Business 101.

You make it sound

like it's some incredible tactic.

A museum isn't a business.

Why not? The visitors have to purchase

their tickets.

What's wrong? Does "business"

sound too lowly and vulgar?

Is your pride hurt

since it's not sophisticated or refined?

That's not what I mean.

You're deceiving the visitors.

-What a load of garbage.

-Mr. Jin.

I thought you had learned your lesson,

but I was wrong.

Fine, then.

Let's forget about the profit

since you always had

more than enough money.

But what about those art pieces

that you cherish so much?

Would you be content

with appreciating the pieces

while having a party

and drinking wine among yourselves?

Are you okay not having any visitors?

Is it okay if no one else sees them?

Didn't you say the artists worked

on those pieces for years?

Didn't you guys prepare

for the exhibition

while pulling all-nighters?

Then shouldn't you gather

as many people as possible?

This work is by Mr. Choi Jeong-hwa.

If you look here,

he used everyday garbage

to create art.

And this one

A dark and vacant art museum

is no different than a charnel house.

I am aware that

everything you're saying is right.

But why don't I want to accept it?

It's true

that we should do everything in our power

to show these great pieces to everyone.

And sure. Money is important.

However

I refuse to give money that much power.

And it's neither because of my pride

nor because I'm sophisticated.

I just hate the fact that all the hard

work my workers have put in

was disregarded because of money.

It's also a shameless act

to all the other museums.

If you were truly proud of what you did,

then you would've told me about it.

Am I right?

What if that wasn't why?

What if I just wanted to see you happy?

What if I wanted to see you smiling

from ear to ear

like you did in the Netherlands?

Then you should've found

another way to do it.

Hey

-Come here, you scumbag!

-Darn it!

-Hey!

-Hey, you scumbag!

Hey!

You little

Let me go!

You scumbag!

Hey, don't you know who I am?

I'm Kim Si-hyeong,

the eldest son of the Cheongsong family!

Exactly

Why would someone so well-off

borrow money then hide?

Why would you

enrage poor commoners like us?

Darn it. It's not even that much money.

I could easily get that money

from selling the museum's land.

Poor commoners like us wouldn't know that.

But one thing we know is that

you're dirt poor.

What did you say?

I'll give you one week.

Bring me my money, goods,

or the will you'll leave behind.

Make sure you prepare

one of these three by then.

Let's go.

Hey, move aside.

What?

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Is this it?

Hey, don't we need to order more beans

and other materials?

Have they not given us the money yet?

The museum is going to be in charge

of the orders and sales.

They took the ledger

and the card statement.

Who?

What? The new director.

Has she gone crazy?

What about

Where is it?

Where is it?

Where did you hide it?

Where is it?

Where in the world is it?

Hey

Who are you to take the ledger? Answer me.

How dare you try to run the cafe yourself?

Mr. Kim, that's enough!

Stay out of this, old lady.

This has nothing to do with you!

Watch your mouth.

What did you say?

You can go. I'll be fine.

Okay

Legally speaking,

the cafe belongs to the museum.

I'll take care of the underperforming

cafe. Why is that a problem?

Your father

gave me that cafe,

so I could learn how to run the museum.

Over you, who ran away from your father

and the museum because a guy dumped you!

I guess you don't know the full story.

But this museum was supposed to be mine!

It's very different from what he told me.

You got expelled from school

because of a drug problem.

And your father disowned you.

As you had no money

or nothing to live for,

he wanted you to run the cafe,

so you'd turn over a new leaf.

That's what he told me.

-What?

-You get funds

to run the cafe every month.

But I don't know where you spend the funds

or how much you make.

The ledger is a mess,

and nothing was being reported.

My father probably overlooked this

because you were his nephew,

but not anymore.

If you don't want that,

you can pack up and leave.

-How dare you?

-Si-hyeong.

The museum is in bad shape.

This isn't just my problem.

It's also yours. And our family's as well.

You have to help me.

Who can I trust right now,

if not my family?

Exactly

Hand over the museum to me,

and just leave. Go ahead.

I'll make sure you get your cut

once I sell this off.

-What?

-Hey. Let's be honest.

You think it makes sense for a girl

to inherit the family assets?

What else did you do

other than having him as your dad?

Let me warn you.

Don't provoke me.

If you do, I don't know what I'll do next!

Got that?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Before your father passed away,

he at least pretended to work.

Now, he's just lost it.

Some people express their sadness

through rage.

I'm sure Si-hyeong was just upset.

If he was decent enough

Fine. He must be.

I'll take care of this. It's all right.

Okay

Did he say he was off duty today?

Won-tak, was today your day off?

Did he go to the convenience store?

WON-TAK

-Hey.

-Are you home?

Yes

I can't go home tonight.

Make sure to lock up.

Ms. Kim?

While I spend the night here

I should earn my keep.

It'll make me feel better.

How can I not worry about you?

Are you two living together?

Thank you in advance for your hard work.

I think you're mistaken.

I'm the host, and you're the sponsor.

Dondon F&B

has been buying the land

surrounding the museum.

It is suspicious.

Shouldn't you give me an excuse

or explain what happened?

Consider it a warning.

Stay away from Da-li

when I'm still being civil.
