Did you love me?
Do you...
love me?
Our marriage may have ended, but your brother is still here.
Even if you ask me a hundred times,
I will not answer such a question.
Father.
I packed my things.
Where are you going to stay?
I'll stay at the guest house...
where he stayed to go to the hospital for a while.
After the legal procedure is finished,
I'll find a place for myself.
I'm sure Jin will look after you, but you should talk to me too.
Don't try to handle this all by yourself.
Father.
It was quite a tough journey as I waited for him,
but as your pupil,
I had such a thankful and happy time.
Come to think about it, I lived with you the longest,
not Jin or Hwan.
I could...
also hold out thanks to you.
Stay healthy.
Put it down there.
Goodness.
Ye Ji.
What's going on?
What will Jin do without you?
And what about Hwan?
I packed some cosmetic products for you.
You can share it with Ms. Hong.
Goodness.
You didn't have to think of us as you packed your things.
You always made food for me.
I'm sorry I couldn't repay your kindness.
Don't be silly. That's what neighbors do.
Ye Ji.
Goodness, my dear Da Woon.
I wanted to see you dating.
Ye Ji.
Okay.
If you don't want to say goodbye,
then let's not.
It'll be too difficult to say goodbye.
I didn't want to say goodbye while sitting down.
Cut down on your medication...
and get rehab regularly.
About not coming back immediately after the accident...
and not contacting you...
I'm going to regret that...
until the day I die.
Had we spent those years together,
do you think we'd be less sad to say goodbye?
I'm truly happy that I can hug you...
while you're standing.
Bye.
Our family was too inconsiderate.
We should've invited you over sooner.
Had the two got along well,
you wouldn't have had to see me.
I heard they decided to divorce.
We never agreed to it.
Please dissuade her.
You'd get punished for abandoning a patient.
But no woman would be able to endure the fact...
that her husband had been living with another woman.
I guess you didn't know.
That's not the real issue right now.
If they get a divorce,
people will see her as a woman who abandoned...
her disabled husband after falling in love with her brother-in-law.
What did you just say?
Falling in love with whom?
How dare you say such a thing?
I'll be sending my younger son to the U.S.
Please dissuade your daughter.
She was a grass widow for seven years...
while waiting for her husband.
Instead of thanking her,
you accuse her of falling in love with her brother-in-law?
You must be insulting her...
because of who I am.
It's not us. It's the world.
Words have spread throughout the community.
Did you not read them?
If they maintain their marriage, such rumors will die down.
But what do you think will happen...
if Ye Ji decides to leave?
You need to dissuade her.
I was her student.
She was my student teacher.
I asked the doctor before buying them.
You have to take all of them. Don't skip any.
My brother is here too. You should say hi to him.
No, I'm... He doesn't have to...
This is Ms. Kim.
My heart...
is still pounding.
I still can't believe I left home.
I feel like I should go back there after work.
That's how I feel.
I know how much you relied on them.
(Ye Ji's Workshop)
Come in, ma'am.
You're here to see Ye Ji, right?
I met your mother-in-law.
Is it true that you're getting a divorce...
because of your brother-in-law?
No.
This has nothing to do with Hwan.
I would've gotten a divorce anyway.
It's true...
that he likes you, right?
He said you were his teacher in the past...
and that he still called you Ms. Oh.
I was a student teacher.
Did he like you since then?
What about you?
Do you like him too?
You can be honest with me.
The world may mock you,
but a mother will never abandon her own child.
It's okay. You can tell me.
Mom.
You see,
I've never dared...
to think that way.
The thought of thinking that way about my brother-in-law...
terrified me.
But...
I already knew.
His entire family thought that he was too young to be sincere.
But I knew how pure and deep...
his sincerity was.
I shouldn't have gotten married.
But I was so desperate.
I wanted a home and a family.
And Jin relentlessly tried to win my heart.
I was sick and tired of being alone.
I wanted to be with someone.
When Hwan had grown up...
and Jin was missing,
I relied on him...
and did develop feelings.
That's why I ignored his calls too.
Had there not been that accident...
Then...
would've Hwan suppressed his feelings?
Would I have lived without any worries?
He and I...
Mom, you see...
We share the same soul.
Jin never knew anything if I didn't express my feelings.
I was nervous around him. But Hwan...
understood me even when I was silent.
His feelings, the emotions he has,
when he's looking at me, and how he feels toward me...
I could feel them at all times.
In front of him,
I could be myself.
I'm sorry that I have to leave first as the PM.
It's okay. I'm sure you're sadder than we are.
Well, there will be other projects as well.
We'll call you when another project pops up,
so don't forget us.
It's strange.
Why do handsome men move around so much?
That's because many companies want them.
Amber is more talented than I am.
She'll wrap up the project well.
I've emailed all the necessary materials.
Okay, I'll check.
Can you send me the files from our previous meeting?
One minute.
Hey, Da Woon.
Ye Ji left. Did you know?
Did you say bye?
Today?
She left for good?
Yes!
She moved all her belongings and said her last goodbyes.
What does Hwan want to do?
Does he expect anything from you?
He wanted to leave with me since three years ago.
And now?
His family has hurt him greatly,
so he's going to move out no matter what.
He's going to go back to the country where he studied.
The U.S.
You should go too.
Go with him.
Do what you want.
No matter what you do,
I've already paid your dues.
You can live however you like.
Mom.
It doesn't matter what the world says.
You're the only one who knows the truth.
Your life...
could change once again.
I'll wait at the station.
From there,
let's start afresh.
[VIU Ver] MBC E31 'When I was the Most Beautiful' "Ye Ji Finally Leaves the House" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
You can live however you like.
Go with him.
You're flying out in two days, right?
Yes.
You're leaving too soon.
Let's clink our glasses for Hwan.
For Hwan. Cheers.
- For Hwan. - For Hwan.
I'm going to leave as well.
Both Ye Ji and Hwan will be gone.
And Dumpling is having an affair.
- No, I'm not. - I have no reason to be here.
Who's having an affair? It's not an affair.
Are you seeing someone?
No. It's still too soon.
I'm going to confess after losing some weight.
Just say it right now. It's all about the timing.
If you lose your chance, it's over.
You're right. It is all about the timing.
Timing.
No. I can't go now.
I could've stopped by after work.
I already took a shower and will be going to bed soon.
I could come to you.
Hey, you drank alcohol.
You'll be arriving too late. Forget about it.
I could stay at a sauna or an internet cafe.
What's gotten into him?
I'm going to bed soon because I'm too tired.
Let's talk again next time.
Bye.
Is there a man in your life?
What does he do? Is he tall?
He's not a man. He's a kid.
But he is tall.
I love that he's younger than you.
He's jobless.
Should I bring him along to work?
- We're lacking carpenters nowadays. - Come on, now.
What's wrong?
I'll wrap up everything and fly out soon as well,
so can you take your time looking for a job?
Let's go on a trip.
You were too busy studying and looking for your brother...
back then.
Even if we're back in the U.S,
I'd be shameless to meet you.
Are you going to wait for Ye Ji?
You're not chasing a pipe dream, are you?
If it's a pipe dream...
to want to live just for myself and not my family,
then yes.
I am chasing one.
You're right.
I was a fool.
I only hurt you during your time here.
I really have...
nothing to say to you.
This isn't the happy ending I had dreamed for.
But I don't regret it.
I finally understood your feelings after coming to Korea.
I did everything that I could,
so I can forget you now.
You should go.
You'll eventually find your ending...
even if it's not the one you desired.
Bye.
This isn't enough for anyone.
Don't think of this lightly just because it's tiny.
It's pretty strong.
(Jinhwan A and C)
(Lounge)
I gave it a thought.
Leaving this place...
with you.
But if I have you before me,
I'll never be able to forget your brother.
The three of us can't live together.
We'll turn into a wreck too.
I know what life is like when you cut off...
your family.
I've been through that.
I can't let you live that life.
If you leave now, you can return whenever you want.
But if you take this journey with me,
you'll never be able to return.
I can't take Father, Mother,
and your brother away from you.
All I need...
is you, Oh Ye Ji.
You'll be miserable.
You'll be lonely.
There will come a day...
when we'll fall into despair just by looking at each other.
I don't mind.
I want...
that misery.
I don't want you...
to be miserable.
I promise.
I'll never forget.
We'll never see each other again,
but I'll remember you for a long time.
I'll always have you by my side.
It doesn't have to be now.
After much time passes by,
a long time away from now,
and even after that long time.
I'll see you off.
I don't want the back of me to be the last thing you remember.
I'll watch you go.
I'll watch you leave...
as you walk away.
(Lounge)
I'm on my way to the airport.
Hwan, your brother just collapsed.
Jin collapsed.
What?
20, 21, 22, 23, 24,
25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
(Jeil Tailoring and Alterations)
Ye Ji.
I want to come and live with you.
Do you know how many years we lived together since I was born?
We lived twice as long away from each other.
Don't girls in other families live with their moms...
for at least 20 to 30 years until they get married?
It's so unfair and sad to think of those years.
Like you said,
there are things that pop up into your head...
when you look at someone's face,
right?
Then let's just live with that.
Ye Ji.
If we get angry, we can be angry.
When we get annoyed, let's show that we're annoyed.
When we fight, one of us might storm out to a sauna to sleep,
then the other can come over, have some seaweed soup and sikhye,
and make up as if nothing had happened.
Let's live like that.
I want to eat the food you make...
while it's still fresh and hot.
That's your reason?
And I make quite a lot of money now.
I'll make a living for us.
That actually sounds tempting.
Why were you up on the rooftop?
I went up there...
and thought of that day again.
What was worse than that moment when I was out of my mind is...
how I couldn't ask you for forgiveness...
like a coward.
I'm not asking you to forgive me.
But...
I've never...
asked you for one either.
She suddenly quit,
saying she's moving somewhere far away.
She said she'll be living with her daughter.
- Sounds great. - It's much better for her.
Exactly.
It seemed like a good thing, so I couldn't stop her.
I've majored in marketing,
but I've operated racing teams, developed real estate products,
and have done PR for a resort overseas.
I have experience in many different fields.
And I was in modeling for a while when I was younger.
Before I got here, I looked into who this Carrie Jung is,
and you left out your time in prison.
It hasn't been long since you were released.
That experience didn't seem relevant in business,
so I chose not to put it down.
It seems like you didn't commit an economic offense.
There's one thing I learned while I was in there.
Most of the women in prison got there because of men.
I was simply in love, that's all.
("When I was the Most Beautiful" by Oh Ye Ji)
You didn't go to an art school.
I got into this as a hobby and learned at a community center.
I seriously wanted to consider taking this up...
as my profession.
You know that this profession isn't very graceful, right?
Of course.
This requires a lot of hard labor and practice,
and I realized it a little.
People say a piece of pottery will look like its potter,
and the potter will begin to take after his or her pottery too.
What kind of pottery do you wish to make?
I...
Don't be scared.
There are no other candidates.
He's going to take you anyway,
and he's just asking you questions.
You little punk.
This is a serious interview.
I'll give you a pass.
This isn't an audition. And you don't get to decide.
I spend half of the week doing busywork around here,
yet I don't even get a say?
Then I'll stop helping you with kneading the clay or whatever.
Then don't.
You're way too cheap, so I'll manage everything.
Okay, you can't take it back. I seriously won't do anything.
Get out of here. Stop ruining the interview.
Please excuse me.
You can do it.
Have some.
Okay.
All right. I'll look over everything before I arrive in Bali.
I'll call you if I need anything else.
Okay.
(Inbox)
(Ms. Oh, I'm sorry. Please reach out to me.)
(I'm just saying hi. I talked to my father.)
(Status: Read, Have you been well? It's me, Hwan.)
Try drawing your sketch here.
Then you can copy it there.
- Okay. - That's all you need to do.
Goodness, that's so cute. When did you finish doing this?
You're very focused.
I thought you went to the U.S.
I was going to leave last year,
but I took up a job with a hotel in Bali.
It's a good thing, right?
It's a long-term project that'll last until the year 2025.
So once I leave this time,
I'll be gone for three years.
That long?
So...
I just want to make sure...
that she's doing okay.
I'm sure you know...
where she is.
- It's okay. - Here. Try this too.
It's nicely fermented.
Okay.
This is good.
It would be delicious with noodles too.
I'll make you noodles later for your snack.
Hey.
Are you doing well?
I'm not making a lot of money,
but there's not much to spend on, so it kind of evens out.
I told my mom that I was going to support her.
But she's the one feeding me now.
Hwan stopped by at the workshop.
You didn't tell him where I am, right?
Well...
- So Won. - I only told him the neighborhood.
He told me he would only look at you from afar and leave.
When I saw his face, I couldn't say no to him.
Mom, I'll be out for a while.
Keep eating.
(Neighborhood Barbershop)
So go straight and keep going up.
Keep going up.
Thank you.
(Neighborhood Barbershop)
Hwan.
I'll be gone...
for a long time.
So I wanted to see you before I left.
To make sure you're okay.
Do you have any work around here?
There's a kiln I can use.
I can help out there...
and work on my own pottery.
But my mom is making more money than me now.
I'm so lucky that she agreed to live with me.
You look happy.
I thought...
you were in the States.
That day,
I couldn't leave Korea because something happened.
Where are you going this time?
There's an island called Lombok next to Bali.
I see. That's a popular destination for honeymooners.
It's under development now.
And I'll be working on a small hotel.
Hwan, you're so cool.
You're building a hotel on a beautiful island.
I just came here without a plan. I didn't expect to meet you.
I got a call from So Won. She told me that you were coming.
When I went around to look for you,
I thought you must have felt exactly like this in Jeju Island,
looking for me.
Back then,
I was desperate.
I was worried something happened to you.
I was pretty anxious too...
in case I didn't get to see you.
I'm glad that I got to see you.
I should go.
Hwan.
Can you spend a couple of days...
with me?
We should go somewhere.
We can go to the beach and eat delicious meals too.
I want to do that with you.
Should we listen to some music?
Well,
there's something I want to do.
What?
I want to...
call you by your name.
Can I do that?
That's all? Calling me by my name?
Fine.
Do whatever you want...
until this is over.
What? You can't even do it when you have the chance.
I mean, I'll do that when I want to.
Not now.
They are being grilled alive on a bed of salt.
Gosh, it must be so hot for them.
Poor shrimps, but they look delicious.
You have a lot of pity, but you still have a big appetite.
Isn't it better than a cold-hearted person with a big appetite?
That is worse, indeed.
Thank you.
Here. You can eat this one.
Thanks.
Is this really a shrimp? It's so sweet.
It must be because prawns are in season.
It's so good.
It's so good!
You should try it too.
I can definitely see that you have a big appetite unlike before.
- What? - Eat a lot.
By the way, it's so good.
I think I can eat one more serving.
You can eat 2 or 3 more servings. You can eat them all.
Here.
[VIU Ver] MBC E32 'When I was the Most Beautiful' "Hwan's First Love" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
I'll take it now. 1, 2, 3.
Here.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- It came out nicely. - Yes.
Ye Ji.
Oh Ye Ji.
You wanted to call me by my name.
Was that so hard?
It took you a whole day.
After leaving Yangpyeong,
are you finally happy?
I'm at peace.
Are you...
happy, Hwan?
I missed you.
I know that this day is your present...
to me.
There was a woman I liked for a very long time.
I felt affection toward her.
And I missed her.
I never had a chance to properly hold her hand.
I couldn't even...
tell her that I loved her.
We didn't share any memories that helped develop this affection.
I thought it was such pathetic love.
From time to time,
I was sad.
There was...
a man who loved me for a long time.
From the first moment I met him,
during the time when he wasn't with me, and even now,
his presence continues...
to reassure me.
When it rained, he put on a raincoat on me.
When it was dark, he lit a light for me.
And when I cried, he wiped away my tears.
Every moment with him...
and every breath I took...
is a memory to me...
and gives me strength.
I love you.
I wanted to say that to you at least once.
We aren't allowed...
to properly confess our love to one another...
and kiss each other.
Despite that, I wanted to say it at least once.
I love you.
You don't have to say it back. I know.
Your touches,
your gaze,
and the air you bring...
always told me...
that you loved me.
You don't know...
how badly I wanted it.
I'm sorry...
that I couldn't...
wait for you.
Thank you...
for coming into...
my world.
(Da Bed and Breakfast)
Ye Ji.
Oh Ye Ji.
Did you have fun?
Did your friend leave already?
Yes.
I'll never see that friend again.
That was the last time.
Why not?
That friend is moving abroad.
I see.
Mom, I want to eat that kimchi.
The one you make by cutting up the radish in all kinds of shapes.
- Seokbakji? - Yes, that thing.
I'll do that. It's not that hard to make.
My woman...
who saved me and abandoned me.
My brother...
who forgave me and whom I have forgiven.
Ever since they left,
I don't know...
if the rest of my life is a reward or a punishment.
But what I do know is...
that I finally grew up into an adult...
only after I lost my love.
Even though...
this sense of longing is the only thing I'm left with.
(Jinhwan A and C)
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
You've been working through the weekend since last week.
I have an exhibition coming up.
What did you do during the weekdays to work on the weekends?
I'm bored.
Why did you tell me to come?
Then do you want to give me a hand?
I came to get some rest, not to work.
What do you want to do?
There's nothing to do in this country town.
Let's grab a drink.
What?
No?
Sure. Fine, let's grab a drink.
Should I call Da Woon's mom?
She glares at me whenever she sees me.
Why do you want to call her?
You love eating the food she makes.
Can we just ask her to cook?
Goodness. Why don't you cook for once?
Do you think I can't?
I used to be good at housekeeping.
And show me if you still have your old skills.
What do you want?
I'm not sure.
Leek pancake.
I'm all for it.
People say the beginning of love is given by deities,
but people choose when it'll end.
Because I never started this love,
I do not know how I can...
end this love.
I'm leaving on another journey...
without a return date.
Be happy.
But...
I hope you'll remember me.
Just as a building doesn't know...
what it is until the moment light touches its surface,
my painful first love was...
also the light...
of my youth.
I am...
no longer scared of the dark.
I can sleep in darkness,
and I finally know that the night...
won't last forever.
I may not have them with me,
and I may not be able to live by their side,
but I also know the memories of loving someone...
and getting loved by them...
cannot be forgotten.
Tough days will come again.
At times, I might be in pain.
But I'll remember...
how much...
I've been loved.
Then...
I'll always be able to get back up on my feet.
Don't worry about me.
Please don't worry about me anymore.
I'm doing well.
I cry from time to time,
but I smile much more often.
I'm going to live...
like that.
(Thank you for supporting and watching...)
