Flames of Desire (Flames of Ambition / Yokmangeui Bulkkot / 욕망의 불꽃)

Flames Of Ambition

Episode 6

Don't just look here and there,

search everywhere.

You know Hyejin.

But I looked everywhere, any place she might have gone to.

What now... Did anything really happen to her?!

I'm sure she won't have gone far. She'll eventually come back.

Continue looking for her.

Looks like it might start raining soon...

I think I'll have to call someone else to help me.

And look underwa...

Listen to you!

I'll give it another try, then.

Jeongsuk, don't you worry.

Let's go.

You must find her!

Come on in, your mother's in my room.

Did anything happen?

Your clothes are all wet.

Did you fall into the water?

Yes.

How did it happen?

You risked getting hurt.

Let's go in and get you changed.

They're all dry now.

They still feel damp?

Dad.

I'll get going.

From now on, I'll take care of Eonni.

What if you catch a cold?

Minjae.

What's wrong?

Looks like he fell into the water while he was playing outside.

I told you to be careful!

It startled you, didn't it?

It was fun.

How did you end up falling into the water?

You were playing around with the other kids?

This won't do it, we'll turn on the car heater and dry them on our way back.

You're not even staying for dinner?

My father-in-law is in Ulsan, so we're having dinner with him.

I'm still his aunt, I can't let him go without cooking him a single meal.

Later.

Minjae, say goodbye to Auntie.

See you again.

Wait a minute, let me give you some spending money.

Forget that, Eonni. What spending money...

No... At least something so he can buy supplies for school.

Then again, would he need any?

If there's any problem, call me right away.

Don't try to do all by yourself.

All right.

I said I'm fine...

It's just that seeing you live this way tears me apart.

Let's go, Minjae.

What's wrong with your hand?

You don't want to hold my hand?

Hyejin doesn't like that, either.

- Kids these days... - Why, could he ever be like her?

You said she comes from an orphanage...

Let's go.

At least sleep over.

Next time.

Nayoung...

See Hyejin before you go.

You really...

I can just see her next time we come.

I just wanted to show her to you.

I might have brought her here from an orphanage,

but Hyejin is a pretty girl.

Raise her well, Eonni.

Who cares if it's someone else's child?

When you love them that much, they're as good as yours.

Let's go.

I fell into the water while picking shells.

I'm not afraid of dying!

You should have just told her the truth.

If you told her she came from an orphanage,

she would have never been shocked by her father's death.

I couldn't tell her the truth.

What are you trying to say?

How could I tell her that I don't even know who her father was?

Even if my father is a murderer, I'm not ashamed!

How many children with bad fathers turned out to become great people?

I'm confident I can do that!

So look at me.

Here is where my life ends.

And where I will be reborn!

I won't be reborn as the daughter of a murderer,

but that of a great man!

In that world I will head to, I will become a singer.

And I will make a lot of money.

Make a ton of money, and have dozens of people working under me!

You just wait.

See what my rebirth will look like.

Mom...

I'm not dying out of hate for you...

I just...

hate the world I'm living in.

I really...

hate this world!

Grandpa's favorite has always been your father.

And one day, your father will inherit the company from him.

I hate the thought of leaving you alone in the States, too.

But if I don't help your father,

he won't be able to inherit that company all on his own.

So even if it might be tough, you'll have to study there alone.

Mom...

You can only reap what you sow in life.

Spend your life lazily avoiding difficulties, and you'll never amount to anything.

You can do it, right?

Answer me, Minjae.

Do you know how much I love you?

Enough that I can't live without you.

Hyejin!

Hyejin!

No luck.

Hyejin!

Hyejin!

Where did that brat go?

Look...

Go look over the hills again.

Why would she go up the hills at this hour?

It's too scary.

Enough with all the excuses!

Go take a look again!

Hyejin!

Hyejin!

I'm sorry...

Nayoung, I'm sorry...

I'll come visit you twice a year.

And you can come to Seoul during spring break.

Or maybe we could travel together.

Paris, Rome, London...

Buenos Aires, Cairo...

Let's have fun traveling the world.

Wouldn't it be nice?

What is it, Minjae?

If you want to go to Yale or Harvard,

you need to frequent this school.

Only if you graduate from Yale or Harvard will Grandpa...

Mom.

Can't I come live with you in Seoul?

I'll live with you there, and study as hard as you want.

I'll take violin lessons, and piano as well.

Why are you doing this to me?

Listen well, Minjae.

The world is a cruel place.

Only the strong can gain what they want.

I just want to live with you and Dad.

Keep it up and I'll get angry!

It's my wish, Minjae.

I want to give you the entire world.

A world with no tears or sadness.

Don't cry...

Present Day, Seoul -

Let's have a toast!

Father, let me help you get up.

Aigoo... That sly fox...

Honey.

Today we celebrate Chairman Kim Taejin's seventieth birthday.

Let's all wish him long life and prosperity!

Cheers!

Minjae, you stay right in front, since you're Grandpa's favorite.

Help me out, will you?

Only for ten minutes, pretend to be my boyfriend.

All right?

Get ready, it's time.

Where is Minjae?

That little...

He just got back, and already got himself a date...

Listen, someone go look for Minjae.

There's no time, let's just go.

Let me push it.

Please back off. Don't shoot.

Sorry, the reporters...

Do it right.

I apologize.

I'm sorry, we'll organize an interview later, so please be patient.

Sorry again.

You have a pen?

Pen.

You don't know what that is?

As a souvenir, I'll give you my autograph.

Baek Ingi -

Cute...

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Chairman.

And Minjae?

Happy birthday to you.

Still going strong, for an old man like him.

Guess you'll have to wait another ten years to become chairman...

Cut the cake.

Why is this so heavy?

- Mother, help him out. - Yes.

Our youngest is already acting like she owns the place.

She's all your father has eyes for, what can you do?

If he keeps that up, he'll end up hitting his nose on that cake.
