You're the Best, Lee Soon Shin (최고다 이순신)

Episode 15

Hi.

You must be Soon Shin's mother, right?

Yes, I'm Soon Shin's mom.

Nice to meet you. I'm Song Mi Ryung.

I don't know if you heard about me from Soon Shin.

I teach her acting lessons.

Yeah, I heard.

Your daughter is very smart and kind.

You've raised her very well.

Thank you.

I didn't know why Soon Shin was so humble, but now I know. She got it from you.

You're very worried about her, aren't you?

I heard you don't want her to be an actress.

Did she say that?

Yeah.

I asked her because she looked so depressed during the lesson.

I hope you don't get offended by it.

I know it's kind of rude but I wanted to see you to help her.

Don't worry about your daughter. She's doing great.

I understand why you worry. The future in this field of work is very unstable.

But if you think about it, what kind of job is not unstable?

Can't you let me take care of her?

Please trust me.

You want me to let you take care of my daughter?

Yes.

What do you know about her?

Pardon?

I know a lot about her.

I have a very good sense of judging people.

I know right away how a person lives their life or what they're thinking.

Your daughter is very innocent and honest.

It's hard to find a person like her these days.

You might think acting is about technique.

But that's not all. You use the charm you have inside to succeed in this field of work.

Thank you for being kind to her.

You gave birth to her. You deserve to hear that.

Come to think of it, when Soon Shim smiles, she's just like you.

Yeah, she looks a lot like me.

When she was born, everybody said she looks just like me.

Of my three daughters, she's the one that looks mostly like me.

I see.

Hearing what you're saying, I understand why you worry about her so much.

- But Mrs. Lee... - I know what you're trying to say.

I'm not letting her act. I'm not changing my mind.

So stop talking about that.

Mrs. Lee, I'm not a person who usually does this kind of thing.

This is a very special case.

Then don't make it a special case anymore.

What did you say?

Don't touch my daughter.

Let me say this again. I'm not letting her act.

Mrs. Lee.

You should let her choose what she wants to do with her life.

No. I decide what she does with her life.

You're probably too busy to be involved in this stuff anyway.

You should leave.

Hey, give me a glass of water.

How dare she treat me like that?

Soon Shin.

Teacher.

I just met your mother.

What?

Sorry, I couldn't convince her.

She was being very stubborn.

I knew she wouldn't be convinced easily.

I'm sorry you had to waste your time meeting my mom.

What are you going to do if she doesn't change her mind?

- You're not going to quit, aren't you? - What?

After meeting your mother, I want to try harder out of spite to make you an actress.

You must pass the audition and make your debut.

Let's show her you can do this.

Teacher.

You're going to come to my house everyday.

Until the audition, you'll undergo intensive training.

Thank you, Teacher.

Your daughter is very smart and kind.

You've raised her very well.

She doesn't even notice her daughter. How dare she try to teach me?

Soon Shin is humble because she got that from me?

Mom, did you come from somewhere?

Did you hear from Soon Shin?

Are you finally letting her act?

Letting her act? Who's letting her act?

Where is she staying ?

She stays at her entertainment agent's practice room.

Mom, can you please stop...

I thought of him every day and night.

I thought of him every day and night... I thought of him every day and night...

Looking at my phone...

I spent my whole day looking at my phone.

I wish I got a call from him...

I wish I got a call from him...

Please call me.

Hey, Hye Shin.

How are you doing?

How's Mom doing? Is she still mad?

Why don't you come home for now?

I think you'd better come back home and make her feel better.

Is she that mad at me?

I don't know why she's acting like this these days.

I really don't understand.

Hye Shin, I have this audition in a couple days.

I promise I'll come back home after that audition.

Please take care of her until then. Please.

Okay. I'll figure something out. Take care of yourself and prepare well for the audition.

Okay?

Mom, when is Aunt Soon Shin coming back?

She'll come back soon.

Why is she being so stubborn about this?

Trying to convince her mother...

You and Soon Shin are the same.

Can't you just let her do it? You're being so stubborn as well.

You used to believe whatever Soon Shin said.

But what's wrong with you this time?

Can't you trust her this time?

I'm not going to trust anybody. I'm not going to trust any of you either.

I feel as though my life has been a waste.

How can you say that in front of me?

Mak Nae, I'm not going to live my life like before.

Mom.

I know. I know you've changed.

Are you saying you're going to treat me like an old bag in my face?

How can you do this to me just because Chang Hoon is dead?

How could you?

What did I do? What did I do wrong?

I've done all I could.

Ask anybody who else can take care of a mother-in-law like I can.

From now on, I'm only going to think about myself.

You two give me an allowance as well as living expenses.

I'm the one who raised you guys.

You're not just going forget about that, are you?

Mom.

I'm not going to sacrifice myself anymore.

I'm going to hang out with my friends and do what I want.

I deserve to do that at least.

I have a rich son-in-law and a daughter who makes a good amount of money.

I didn't say anything wrong, did I, Mak Nae?

I should've followed Chang Hoon to the grave.

Good morning, Mrs. Shim.

- Hey, did you sleep well? - Of course. What are you doing?

It's okay. Your hands will get dirty. You're going work soon.

I can wash my hands if they get dirty.

You don't have to do this.

Is everything okay?

You don't look so well.

It's nothing.

What is it?

If people get old, they should die.

Who said you're old?

These days, people multiply their age by 0.8 to find out their real age.

So how old are you?

50 years old? 40 years old?

That's not funny.

I'll get you that many of red bean buns later. If you eat them, you'll be ten years younger.

Then you'll be 30 years old.

By the way, is this lettuce?

What are you doing there?

H... hi.

I'll help you with those after I get back home from work.

It's okay. You can go work.

- Hi. - Hi.

Let's hurry.

Mom, let's hurry.

Why?

Let's hurry up! I might be late. Come on!

Good morning.

Yeah.

Why are you sighing so deeply this morning?

By the way, how's your new house? Do you like it?

What? Do you not like it?

- Should I go back to where I lived before? - What?

Mom...

Come here.

Mom...

Where are you going?

To take a lesson.

A lesson? From Song Mi Ryung?

Yeah.

Are you really going to do this?

Are you really going to do this to me?

Mom, listen to me first.

No. Choose now.

Are you going to come home with me or go to her house?

Mom...

Choose right now.

Mom, I have this audition, but in a couple days I'll go home.

Really? So you're not going to see me anymore?

- Mom. - You're not going to see me anymore?

Fine. I'll assume you chose that.

Stupid bastard. Damn girl.

I thought of him every day and night.

I sometimes spent the whole day looking at my phone.

Hoping to get a call from him...

Stop there. I think you can be more emotional for that part.

Do it more woefully.

Okay. Do you want me to read it again?

- You have a phone call. - From who?

It's Choi Yeon Ah.

Hey, what's up?
