Record of Youth (청춘기록)

Dad, let's eat.

Okay.

What's all this?

We're eating meat first thing in the morning?

Yes.

Do you usually eat like this?

Or did you make this specially for me?

A bit of both.

Bingo. You get ten out of ten for that answer.

Let's eat.

Just a second.

HYE-JUN

-Hey. -Did I call too early?

I'm just having breakfast with Dad.

-Your dad came over? -Yes.

That's why you haven't checked the messages.

I thought something was up.

-You were worried? -It's all good now.

Enjoy your breakfast and have a good day at work.

All right, you too.

You got a boyfriend?

Yes.

I have many questions,

but I won't ask.

Thanks, Dad.

I'll tell you lots of stuff when the time's right.

Sounds good.

Now, I'll tell you the real reason

I came to see you.

Don't be too nervous. Just be natural, Grandpa.

Why are you thanking me?

It's your first ad shoot. Of course, I remember it.

Yes, I should be able to go home today.

Okay, got it. Good luck.

All right.

JI-A

Hello?

You haven't changed your number.

What's up?

Gosh, I'm going nuts.

The exam is coming up, and I'm so stressed out.

You always do well.

It'll be fine.

Where are you? It sounds like you're outside.

I'm at a shoot.

I want to go somewhere.

I used to tag along whenever you had a show. Remember?

It's all in the past.

I saved some money to give you when you get married.

If you don't accept this, I'll get really mad at you.

I've started painting again.

I'm glad to hear that.

To tell you the truth, it's been a few years.

But I was too embarrassed to tell you.

I'll have an exhibition soon.

Do you know why I started painting again?

I don't know.

To show you.

I'll work hard and live my life to the fullest.

I know that I ruined your childhood,

but I want to be remembered as someone who cherished his life

and did his best.

It's for the Industry-Academy Cooperation's mentoring program,

so this would be good.

I just want to wear plain white.

This is plain too. It's sky blue.

Just listen to me. Nothing bad will come out of it.

Are you sure about that?

What will you do about Hae-hyo?

What did you say about the new drama?

I watched a little bit of it, and Park Do-ha totally outshines him.

You said he'll be a star.

Or is it just that I don't see it yet?

Don't be so hard on me.

The script is centered around the main characters.

Considering that, I'd say he's doing pretty well.

"Pretty well"?

I didn't let you have your way to hear crap like that.

Your masterpiece, Won Hae-hyo,

needs an interim check.

Hae-na is doing so well.

If I had my way, he'd be doing his MBA in the US now.

And what use is that?

It's not like he'll be a professor or work as a salary man.

Getting firsthand experience is much better.

He can live a great life with his modeling and acting experiences alone.

What does he think?

Hey, let's talk.

I have to go out.

It won't take long.

I think you're due for an interim check.

WON HAE-HYO MAKES AN IMPRESSION

WHERE HAS HE BEEN ALL THIS TIME?

WON HAE-HYO

WON HAE-HYO'S ACTING SKILLS COME INTO QUESTION

I analyzed all the articles about the dramas and movies you've done.

I didn't know you were interested in what I do.

I'm interested in your life

because it's connected to mine.

When do you plan to enlist?

Based on my analysis,

I think you should enlist now.

-I'm thinking about it. -I'm glad to hear that you actually do.

-Dad. -It means you've lost my trust.

Are you your mom's puppet?

You say that you're independent,

but you're just following her guidelines.

That's because I don't want to fight with Mom.

I'm doing all I can.

What is it that you want to be? A star or an actor?

-An actor. -Then why agree to be in Catch?

You're only supporting Park Do-ha.

Your actions never match your words.

How did you end up like this?

I let you and your mother do as you please.

Now, it's about time you showed me some results that prove

your choice was right.

Otherwise, just quit.

"Results"?

"Interim check"?

He's being ridiculous.

He always steps in and tries to take credit for end results.

What is it, Mom?

Your dad isn't completely wrong.

What did I tell you?

I told you I didn't like Catch when I first read the script.

Why bring it up now?

We should talk about it so you don't repeat the same mistake.

Gosh, I'm so upset.

Are you more upset than I am?

I want you to be more aggressive.

You're too naive.

Maybe it's because we're well-off. You have no backbone.

Doesn't seeing Hye-jun make you want to work harder?

Of course, I know that he's not a big deal now.

But there's a thing called momentum.

It looks like he's on the rise.

What about me? Am I going downhill?

No, you're stagnant. Your graph is drawing a straight line.

I thought you were supporting my choice.

What did you say when I supported you?

You told me to stay out of it and said you can take care of everything.

And I did take care of everything.

Do you really think so?

Catch didn't do as well as I thought it would,

but I'll get a lead role next time.

I'm not done yet.

Both you and Dad… Don't you think this is too much?

Both your dad and I know

that this is a critical time for you.

You have to decide whether you'll enlist now or postpone it.

I'll postpone it.

I can't enlist until I prove myself.

Ma'am.

I'd like to talk to you about something.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

I heard you were leaving.

I was hurt a little.

I thought I treated you well.

You did.

Thank you for being so good to me.

Will Hae-hyo and Hye-jun leave with you?

I'm not sure.

I won't stop anyone from leaving.

I won't hire your replacement right away. Let me know when you're sorted.

May I talk to Jin-ju for a moment

before we open?

Do you need to talk to her to sort things out?

You should eat, too.

So what's this about?

I don't feel comfortable eating with you.

Same here. That's why I'm trying to overcome it.

Jin-ju.

-What? -I'll call you that from now on.

I'm leaving the salon.

I'm no longer your junior, so I'll just address you casually.

Jeez.

You really get on my nerves.

I don't want to stay acquainted with you.

I don't like you either,

but I'm going to try to like you.

Addressing you differently might make you a bit more likable,

so that's what I'll do.

I can't stand this. I'm leaving.

But one good thing about it is that it's giving me so much energy.

The wheels are turning in my head to come up with a way to kick you out.

I'm realizing that I should just pity you.

How dare you!

-Are you blackmailing me? -Now that I know…

You have three options, and you can take your pick.

First, I send this video to everyone.

Second, I gather everyone and play this in front of them.

Third, you apologize to me.

If you apologize, I'll delete this.

How can I trust you?

Right? How can you trust me?

I may change my word after you apologize to me.

DO-HA

Hey, Do-ha.

Did something good happen?
