Happy New Year!
Now, we hope you enjoy a jazz and salsa performance...
to celebrate the opening of Donghwa Havana Hotel in 2019.
We invite you all into the passion of Cuba.
(Episode 9)
I'd like extra cheese, and please add lettuce and avocado.
You haven't eaten anything yet?
No, it's the last day of the year, so things were busy in Sokcho.
I came here right after work because Mr. Nam came to pick me up.
Here. By the way,
is this place really okay?
Yes, there's no one here anyway.
Do you feel uncomfortable?
No, not at all.
- It's delicious. - You must've been hungry.
Mr. Nam let me sit on your seat.
Really?
Ms. Jang once asked him if she could sit there.
But he never let her.
"I'm not here to pick you up, Jin Hyuk."
"I came to pick up my boss' boyfriend."
Are you glad that I'm here, aren't you?
Why do you ask when you already know the answer?
Because I want to hear you say it.
It was the most exciting beginning of a new year.
Gosh, you should really try entering a writing contest.
You get better day by day.
You have to go back, right?
Yes. Work starts at 9am.
Should I drive you there?
No. I'll sleep on the bus.
Should we go on a late-night date?
"A late-night date"?
I can make it to work on time if I take the first morning bus.
You have work on the first day of the new year.
I feel sorry since I'm the CEO.
You're going to be so tired.
Well, I'll leave now if you don't want to hang out.
See? You're so sly.
If it's okay with you, let's go watch a movie together.
Forget it if you don't want to.
No, let's do everything. I don't think...
we'll be able to do it anyway.
Which movie are we watching?
I don't know.
I wonder if they'll have any tickets left on a day like today.
Is there anything you want to watch?
What's playing? I'm not really sure.
I know the box offices...
of Hongjae-dong inside and out.
You're good at everything.
Lastly, we'll now pick the winner of the lucky prize,
a stay at our hotel.
(Free one-night stay at Donghwa Hotel)
Who is the lucky person...
that will snatch the prize?
Okay.
- The first number is two. - Gosh.
I have a two.
- Three! Congratulations. - Three!
Three. Me. That's me.
Yes. Excuse me. One moment.
Excuse me.
I'm okay. I'm sorry.
Please give him a round of applause.
You became the lucky winner.
How do you plan on using this prize?
I'm going to use this myself.
- By yourself? - Yes, for now.
- Are you single? - Yes, for now!
All right. Then, how about you take this chance...
to take off your mask...
- and win over your love publicly? - No, no.
- Okay, I'll take it off. - Please cheer him on.
Thank you.
- What's wrong with him? - Who did I dance with?
- How about a comment? - Okay.
There was a beautiful woman who danced with me earlier.
Could you also take it off? I mean, please take off your mask.
Where did you go?
- She was just over there. - Okay, okay.
Please give him another round of applause as we award him.
Jin Myung, Hye In.
- Good job. - I'll get going now.
Excuse me. Hello?
Just a minute.
You're that secretary.
I didn't know we'd see each other like this.
Okay, then. I'm off.
Wait. What is this?
What do you mean?
I think you were quite interested in me earlier,
but now that our masks are off,
you're acting like you don't know me.
Interested? No way. It was a party.
Also, I don't think we're that happy to see each other.
That's true, we're not glad to see each other,
but there's no reason to act like strangers.
There's Jin Hyuk and your boss too.
- So? - This must be meant to be.
We should have one more drink together.
We closed the store to come here today.
Look. We'd look so gloomy just on our own.
If the beautiful secretary will be generous and hang out with us,
we'll have such a good time.
Gosh.
How about just one beer? Please?
I'm busy. I can't stay very long.
Do you want popcorn?
I thought you liked squid.
Let's have popcorn.
It's pretty empty.
Maybe my taste isn't very good.
No, I like it.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Are you going to be all right?
Yes. Alcohol tastes so sweet today.
- It's coming at me fast and nice. - Yes, yes.
Actually, I didn't have anything to eat today...
- because I didn't want a belly. - Have this.
Excuse me, can I get one more?
- Excuse me. - Hold on.
Tell us your address first. I'll take you home if you get drunk.
What is this? What is this? Why do you want my address?
What? I'll just leave you here if you get drunk, then.
I'm totally fine.
I was so excited for it, but it was you again, Lee Dae Chan.
Same goes for me. Both sides were disappointed, okay?
Come on, guys. It's the new year.
Happy New Year. Happy, happy, happy.
- Let's drink. - Your brother was banished...
to Sokcho, and you're happy?
Maybe you two don't get along.
- My brother? - Your brother.
Kim Jin Hyuk. Isn't he your brother?
He was transferred there. He wasn't banished.
- He didn't do anything wrong. - She's drunk, she's drunk.
She's talking nonsense now that she's drunk.
Don't you know?
He touched the hair of a sleeping lion.
Jin Hyuk...
pulled on the hair...
of a very scary lion.
What a situation. Jin Hyuk is in a situation,
and so is this woman.
Mi Jin, are you sleeping?
Jin Myung, she's sleeping. What do we do? Hey, Jin Myung!
Where are you going?
What a great start to the new year.
Pick it up, Jin Hyuk.
The exit is this way.
Time is going by so fast, isn't it?
You're going to be so busy with all the check-outs today.
I got to spend such a sweet time. It's a price I'm happy to pay.
Don't do anything today and get some rest.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be well.
I'm sure. I know I can rely on you.
You better go or you'll miss your bus.
I'll get going.
- I'm going. - Okay.
Get home safe.
What is it?
I'll really go now.
- Call me later. - Close the window. It's cold.
Bye. Take care.
Bye. Hurry up and go.
Good night!
Hurry and go.
Why am I here?
- What is this? - What do you mean?
Why did you drink so much in the first place?
You should've taken me to a hotel.
I wanted to be a nice guy...
and tried to book a hotel for you with the voucher I won at the party,
but all the rooms were booked. What was I supposed to do?
Still, how could you just leave me here?
I practically saved you, and now you're getting angry at me.
I can't believe this.
- Let's go. - Where?
- To the sauna. - Is it close?
It's near here. After the sauna, let's have some rice soup.
Gosh, my hangover is killing me.
My back aches.
My hangover.
My back.
Now I feel better.
Eat that.
You drank really heavily.
It will help with your hangover.
Thank you.
You saved me.
About Jin Hyuk...
Yes?
What do you mean, he was banished to Sokcho?
He was just relocated. He wasn't banished.
But you said he was banished last night.
Jin Myung went crazy after hearing that.
I did?
Then what was that about getting on Taegyeong's nerves?
What did that mean?
I was just drunk and blabbering nonsense.
I knew something was strange when he said he was relocated.
It's a new and very neat hotel, and also has a view of the ocean.
What on earth is going on?
(CEO Cha Soo Hyun Enjoys A New Year's Date)
(Cha Soo Hyun of Donghwa Hotel was spotted enjoying a date.)
It happened again!
What?
(Jang Mi Jin)
Happy New Year.
It isn't time to be happy. Things are going nuts right now.
Has something happened to Soo Hyun?
You weren't with her last night?
There's a picture of her with Jin Hyuk on the Internet right now.
That's not a big deal. Get some more sleep.
What's wrong with a young couple going on a date?
To me, you're the weird one.
It's not time for you to be so carefree right now.
This world isn't the romantic place that you think it is.
- People are gossiping now... - I feel so happy.
- and it's getting out of hand! - Happy New Year, Mi Jin.
Mr. Nam...
Love is just like sneezing.
You can't stop it...
just like burping.
Do you want to meet all three or just the one you like?
What do you mean?
Until when are you going to sleep alone in this room?
I better go wash up.
I will never allow...
Cha Soo Hyun to sleep in this room.
She got her picture taken with a guy from the start of the year.
Taegyeong is also on top of the online trending chart.
Even your name is on it.
Meet all three of them.
(CEO Cha Soo Hyun Enjoys A New Year's Date)
(Secretary Jang)
(Mrs. Banpo-dong)
I'm going to make him regret this.
I'm going to get rid of him.
Are you just going to leave Soo Hyun be like this?
She's not even answering my calls.
There must be a good reason.
This issue isn't just about Soo Hyun.
I'll go meet her, so stop calling her.
My goodness.
My only child isn't of any help to me at all.
Thank you.
Good morning. Shall I help you check out?
You're now checked out. Thank you.
Have a nice day.
- Isn't he that guy? - Yes, he is.
Thank you.
Wait a minute. Why is the front desk so distracted today?
Excuse me, sir.
Did you get some sleep?
I woke up from my sleep, and it's noisy again.
Are you okay?
It was something I expected.
It's too hard to cover your beauty.
Your face has been exposed too.
My face looked so handsome.
Doesn't it look better on screen?
You look better in person.
Ms. Cha.
All of this...
is just a natural happening.
We expected it.
So don't worry about anything.
I'll be fine.
It's so quiet down here.
Are you listening to me?
I'm hungry.
I should eat something.
Eat something good. A hearty meal.
- Hello. - Hey.
Are you going to work?
Ma'am.
- This is Jin Hyuk, right? - What?
(CEO Cha Soo Hyun Enjoys A New Year's Date)
What is this?
I'm not sure.
- Jin Myung! - What?
Come out here for a second.
Look at this.
Is this Jin Hyuk in this article?
No, it's probably someone who just looks like him.
No, this is Jin Hyuk.
The CEO must've bought dinner since Jin Hyuk is so good at work.
She sent him to Sokcho and bought dinner for being good at work?
Why did they go to the movie theater?
When was this picture taken?
I heard Jin Hyuk and the CEO were just friends.
Where was it? Cuba. I heard they met there.
- Really? - Why would she date Jin Hyuk?
What's wrong with your brother?
You can't be objective because he's your son.
Are you sure they're just friends who are hanging out?
Yes. It's not a big deal.
But this seems so strange.
Those women's shoes in your room.
- Women's shoes? - Oh, that.
It's just from the luggage from my Cuba trip.
I'm going to use it as a prop for pictures later.
Cuba?
If they met each other in Cuba...
Yes, Dad.
I thought we could get together for a New Year's meal.
That sounds nice.
This restaurant's expensive, so you should play.
You earn more anyway.
We should've gone somewhere cheaper.
- Did you see the article? - Yes, I did.
Your name started trending online too.
I'm sorry for that.
This isn't the first time my name was mentioned in the news.
It's different this time.
Right. Has there been any word from Taegyeong?
I'm sure I'll be under attack soon.
Will you be all right?
An offense is the best defense, isn't it?
You're thinking of taking them on?
I've been preparing for this day.
I think it's finally time.
I'm worried though.
My battle...
will probably hinder your career.
All this time,
I've only been a hindrance to you.
- Dad... - Just think about yourself.
This battle will be huge.
However,
what about that young man?
It's excruciating to watch someone you care about...
go through the wringer because of you.
We're used to being under the public eye,
but he's led a normal life so far.
Having that normality shattered...
is painful too.
No one knows that better than you.
Taegyeong won't just let him be.
- We should eat. - Sure.
(Jin Hyuk)
The number you have dialed...
(Jin Myung)
Hi, Jin Myung.
I've been curious why you weren't answering my calls,
but social media updated me.
Your photos looked awesome.
That's because I am awesomely handsome.
Do Mom and Dad know too?
They don't.
So don't worry and make sure to take your vitamins.
They only bought some for you, you know.
I'll buy you some myself.
How is everyone?
Of course. You've only been gone a few days.
Will you be home on your day off?
You have to so that I can eat some meat.
Right. I should be there.
Have you eaten?
I have. What about you?
I'm going to eat with Dae Chan soon.
Mom brought us rice cake soup earlier.
I see. Well, enjoy the soup...
and let's have a happy New Year.
You too.
It's cold. I'll hang up now.
He's too kind for his own good. Why not worry more about himself?
I'm sorry, but is there no way to find it?
The sheets have already been taken to the laundry room.
What if we send it to you when we find it?
It's just that...
my daughter doesn't go anywhere without that teddy bear.
Can we look for it later on?
It'll take a long time for these people to find it.
I see you've lost your friend.
Are you sure it got lost in the sheets?
Yes, we had already checked out...
when she started to vomit due to an upset stomach.
We briefly went inside to change her clothes,
but she must've put it with the sheets.
Can you wait here for a moment?
I'll go and try to find your friend.
Can you wait while having an ice cream with your mom?
We have very delicious ones.
I already had two myself.
Can you wait here and not cry?
But...
there will be too many dirty sheets down there.
I'll give it a try though.
She'll keep on crying without it.
I'm so sorry.
I can't guarantee you anything, but I'll try and be quick.
Please wait for me.
I'm terribly sorry.
We'll get an ice cream and wait.
You'll go through all of these?
I'll do so while staying out of your way.
Are you sure about this?
It's already been two hours.
He's still looking for it.
- I don't think he'll be successful. - I agree.
- He won't find it like this. - Let's go.
There you are.
I found it.
Are you asleep?
But I'm here now.
Wake up.
Ta-da.
My teddy bear!
It's my teddy bear.
- Mom, look. - Are you happy?
See? I told you I'd find it.
- Right. - Say thank you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Thank you so much.
It's nothing. I'm glad that I found it too.
All right then.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Thank you, mister. - Thank you, mister!
- Bye! - Goodbye!
Please enjoy your stay.
Ma'am,
you forgot your phone.
- Thank you. - No problem.
(Kang Soo Jin, Journalist)
Thank you.
Have a good day.
I wanted to meet because there's something I need to tell you.
I don't have anything...
to talk about with you, Woo Suk.
I'll be off now.
Is this what I think it is?
After all these years, I still have our rings.
Isn't it romantic?
Please come back.
Let's live far away from my mom's house.
You don't need to attend all our family events.
I'll make sure you won't have to.
You can keep running the hotel...
since it's what you enjoy.
Woo Suk.
I'll do anything.
Why now?
Every time your mother used to punish me,
you'd always stay quiet and just watch from afar.
I no longer even remember all the hardships...
your mother put me through.
But what I can't erase is how weak you looked...
as you stood...
and watched from afar.
After a horrible day went by,
you'd bombard me with gifts such as bags and jewelry.
But that made me feel even more pitiful.
Back then...
Back then, I thought of myself...
as someone in a coma.
I had to endure every single day.
And when you told me you fell in love with someone else,
there was nothing I could do.
And I no longer had a reason to endure it anymore.
Soo Hyun, that was...
How about we live abroad for a while?
What do you think about Cuba? You're building a hotel there.
Should we live there?
The person I'm seeing...
means a lot to me.
He's someone special.
And I'm sure the person you're seeing right now...
means a lot to you too.
So why are you doing this to me?
I hope...
we can start greeting each other with a smile.
It's natural for things to sway when the wind blows.
You can get swayed.
But don't let that wind blow you away.
The checkout time is 11am tomorrow, and the elevator is on your right.
- Thank you. - Have a good day.
Hello, ma'am.
What brings you all the way here?
If you had called, we would've...
Can I take him away for a while?
You know who I am, right?
Yes, I do.
I came because there's something I must tell you.
Okay.
I'm warning you.
Don't ever go near Soo Hyun again.
She's not someone an ordinary young man like you can date.
You're not answering me.
That's because I can't give you the answer you want.
Soo Hyun...
No. Ms. Cha.
She'll be getting back together with CEO Jung Woo Suk soon.
Both families have already settled the matter.
So you shouldn't be doing this.
Is that what Ms. Cha wants?
Some people are destined to do what's chosen for them.
This may sound out of line, but that kind of life doesn't exist.
It's Ms. Cha's life.
Living the way someone wants her to will only make her unhappy.
You have no right to tell me what you think of it.
You must feel pretty brave now that you're dating my daughter.
But this place is quite far away.
Please don't make me come here again.
Because of you, a very big fight will soon begin.
It's a fight that exceeds...
your common knowledge and imagination.
You're the one who's pushing Soo Hyun...
into that pit hole. Are you even aware of that?
You can handle it that way.
Ms. Cha.
You know her, right? She's the one that called you with my phone.
I gave her a good scolding.
I'm sorry, Ms. Cha.
It's okay, Ms. Cho. Thank you for calling.
By the way, how do you know Jin Hyuk?
We're friends. We went to middle school together.
Bye, then.
Wait.
Do you feel uncomfortable?
No, it's just...
I figured I might ask you a few questions...
since you're Jin Hyuk's friend.
He really doesn't talk much about himself.
Is Jin Hyuk doing well there?
Ms. Cha.
I know this may sound rude,
but can you just stop seeing him now?
Jin Hyuk told me...
that he should go to Sokcho to help you protect this hotel.
He told me that's the only way he can protect you.
If Jin Hyuk keeps going like this...
I'm sorry, Ms. Cha.
No.
There's no need to feel sorry.
Thank you.
(Donghwa Hotel CEO, Cha Soo Hyun)
What's up?
I have something I need to show you.
I'm showing you this as your friend, not your secretary.
It's something you need to think about.
What is it?
(Let me tell you a few stories about Cha Soo Hyun's date.)
(People told him to become a celebrity because of his looks.)
(He was also good at seducing girls by carrying around books.)
(He's a real winner in life. He'll end up getting Donghwa Hotel.)
(He's so good looking.)
(I'm so jealous of him.)
What are we going to do about Jin Hyuk?
And there's one more.
It's about your mom.
I think she went to Sokcho to see him.
Jin Hyuk told me...
that he should go to Sokcho to help you protect this hotel.
Taegyeong won't just let him be.
This is all very natural.
Don't worry about a thing.
Jin Hyuk, this is you, isn't it?
You should treat us to drinks.
Hey, can you get me free stays at the hotel?
Donghwa Hotel is going to be yours, right?
Because of you, a very big fight will soon begin.
You're the one who's pushing Soo Hyun...
into that pit hole. Are you even aware of that?
(Ms. Cha)
Yes, Ms. Cha.
You're busy, right?
I've been a little busy trying to figure out the hotel.
Have you been eating well...
and taking care of your beauty?
Yes, I'm doing well.
- Jin Hyuk. - Yes.
Your personal information...
got exposed.
It's been twisted and distorted.
My old classmates are just playing a prank.
Please don't mind it.
The extraordinary sides of you...
were seen as petty.
You lived hard,
but they turned you into someone selfish.
I feel uneasy.
It's just a few people out of 50 million.
They're not important at all.
That's not true. I know so.
Just one sharp comment can cut you deep.
Since it cuts so deep, it takes a long time to heal.
Ms. Cha.
I'm really completely fine.
I'm more worried about you.
Don't think about work. Okay?
Just listen to some music, and eat well.
Okay?
How about we take some time to think things over?
It must be really tough for you...
since I'm someone so ordinary.
Ms. Cha.
Did I put you in a more difficult spot?
No, it's not that.
I'm just afraid.
I'm afraid...
that you might get hurt.
Don't be afraid.
The closer I get to you,
the more your life seems to shake.
It makes me hesitate.
I'm scared...
that all of the eyes on me...
will turn to you too.
Why don't we do this?
No news is good news.
Since we're both well, we won't call each other.
Let's try spending some time that way.
Let's see who can last longer.
We can make a bet on it.
It'd be sad to win, and hurtful to lose.
Let's try...
this bet.
Okay.
Aren't you bored?
You had to suddenly move to an unfamiliar place.
I was lonely on my first day, but I'm starting to adjust.
How was the team dinner yesterday?
It was crazy. It was such a party.
Was it?
I'm really completely fine.
I'm more worried about you.
I'm no longer the Cha Soo Hyun that got sold off to Taegyeong.
I'm no longer the Cha Soo Hyun that's crazy about the hotel.
And I'm no longer the Cha Soo Hyun...
that lets the person she likes get criticized for no reason.
I'm usually good at holding back,
but here I am.
(To all the beloved members of Donghwa Hotel,)
(I hope the year 2019 with Donghwa Hotel...)
To all the beloved members of Donghwa Hotel,
I hope the year 2019 with Donghwa Hotel...
Magic.
(Magic...)
Hope this year will be full of happiness, like magic.
(Happy New Year)
(Full of happiness, like magic.)
It's body wash this year.
Mr. Park.
I hope you wash up clean every day in 2019.
I take a shower two times a day.
Really? I didn't notice at all.
(1 month later)
Why aren't you coming?
It's already been almost a month.
I really want to go to Seoul too.
I'm tied up in so much work here.
Did you just decide to stay because of the nice view?
It is nice to work in front of the ocean though.
You should take half a day off at least.
Your parents are worried about you.
Okay. I'll talk to you later.
All right.
(Bus schedule, To Incheon, East Seoul, Gwangmyung)
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid...
you might get hurt.
It'd be sad to win, and hurtful to lose.
Let's try...
this bet.
(Bus Schedule, To Gangnam, Seoul)
(To Incheon, East Seoul, Gwangmyung)
When the film is all used up,
pop this open and take it out.
You have to go to a studio to get the photos printed.
If you're still worried,
go to Ms. Lee's house and ask for her.
She has a darkroom there.
Alone? Wouldn't it be awkward?
- Hello. - Welcome.
I was passing by and wondered if you were home.
I'm glad you came.
I was getting bored, and it's so nice to meet you.
I'm not familiar with tea.
I heard this is good tea, but don't know if you'll like it.
You didn't have to bring something like this.
So I can come again next time.
Thank you.
You brought a film with you, right?
How did you know?
Jin Hyuk called me.
He asked me to print photos in case you drop by.
I heard he is in Sokcho.
He should consider the opportunity fortunate.
It's so wonderful to work while gazing at the ocean.
It's a remote place though.
Do you want to go see the darkroom?
Follow me.
It's fascinating.
Jin Hyuk says that all the time...
when he works here too.
- You should try it. - Me?
That's how you learn. This way.
Put the film in there first.
Good.
You succeeded at one go.
- Did I do it right? - Great job.
Now, all we have to do is wait.
- This is amazing. - When you think it's ready,
- dip it in that chemical. - Okay.
All right.
Good.
To be honest,
I still miss my husband who passed away before me.
I'll only get to meet him again after I die.
You should enjoy seeing each other when you can. That's happiness.
The closer I get to you,
the more your life seems to shake.
It makes me hesitate.
You'll lose if you get afraid.
You'll look bad tomorrow if you think too much.
Given the situation,
starting tomorrow, we must become better friends.
It's fun when you spend your daily life with a friend.
But becoming distant...
and going back to the point when your relationship meant nothing...
is still very painful.
When the time comes for us to endure pain,
I'd want us to remember...
our fond memories and find strength from them.
Every time I take a step forward, I think of you...
and call out your name. So of course, I mean it.
Why do you only worry about me?
I'm just worried...
if I put you in a pickle.
You're always the one running over.
To Sokcho, and to my house too.
We can both overcome anything with these good memories.
Okay. Let's do that.
(It's the sea's job to make waves and it's mine to think of you.)
I wonder where and how we'll end up...
meeting again.
(Ms. Cha)
Ms. Cha.
We agreed that no news is good news,
but I caved in first.
We didn't decide...
