When I Was the Most Beautiful (When I Was the Prettiest / Naega Gajang Yebbeotseulddae / 내가 가장 예뻤을때)

Do you...

still like Ye Ji?

Did you keep your feelings for her over those long years...

while I was gone?

I wonder how you felt...

when I returned.

Jin.

And looking like this.

- Jin. - Tell me.

You're an adult too.

Let's have an honest talk.

In Ho...

held a grudge over a thing of the past and spread a false rumor.

That's all.

That's not the answer to my question.

Do you still,

to this day,

kept your feelings for Ye Ji?

Don't say anything to Ms. Oh.

That question is absolutely humiliating in itself.

You're the one I don't trust. It's not Ye Ji.

If you trust her, you have nothing to worry about.

I thought you completely disregarded my feelings from the start.

I'm going to collaborate with Ms. Oh for a project I'm involved in.

Dad said it's a great idea.

You won't stop her, will you?

You're a big boy now.

I'm an adult now.

I don't have to back down from any kind of competition.

She felt guilty for living her everyday life,

like eating, making pottery, and drawing.

She kept wondering if she should invest all her time...

in finding you in the U.S.

Don't you feel bad for her?

While you were making us worried to death...

living in hiding although you were alive,

she stayed here in distress every single day...

in this house where even I had left!

She held out here while looking after Dad.

Whenever I think of how much you made us worried,

I want to have a go at you.

I only held myself back because you showed up like this.

What should I do?

I'm making rice in a pot. It's a very simple dish.

We just need some sauce to mix in with the rice.

Should I mix in this and that with sesame oil?

Hey.

Did you see your brother?

Did he say anything?

We went to take a walk at the pond with lotus flowers...

and ran into In Ho.

I'm not sure if he said hi to Jin,

but he has been feeling down ever since that time.

Do you think he was still scared to go out?

It's not like he just got discharged.

He went out to the beach...

and got his picture taken by my uncle's friend in the U.S.

It's still a bit awkward.

It's tough to ask him questions.

You shouldn't invest all of your time in him.

Why don't you try working on something new?

You're becoming a better cook by the day.

Hwan made this.

Really?

Dad, try some.

So are you...

going to take the job?

Hwan told me about it.

It sounds like a great opportunity.

She turned it down.

I don't qualify for the job,

and I want to stay focused on him.

Did I ask you to only look after me?

Are you telling the entire family...

that I'm a burden to you?

Jin.

Come in.

In Ho said something to you, didn't he?

I saw you two at the lotus pond.

You haven't been feeling well since that time.

Or did I do something wrong?

You can take the job that Hwan mentioned.

No, you should do it.

I don't want to be...

a burden in your life.

That's why I remained in the U.S.

You've returned,

and we're under the same roof.

But I still feel lonely every now and then.

I know you're having a tough time,

but please think of me too.

Okay?

I need some time.

Sir, the directors from Jinhwan A and C are here.

Our private equity fund contains a hefty amount of money.

For our company,

we had no choice but to do so.

Please take a look and make a wise decision.

Don't you think it'd be better for you...

to join hands with Chairman Bang...

who is based in Japan and is influential...

in both Europe and the U.S?

The newly established resort in Monterey...

and the villa in Hawaii that he had recently taken over...

are both quite nice.

If you want, he could give you a villa himself.

Carrie Jung worked as a sponsor for Goryeo Motors.

She returned after the success of the overseas business...

and is in a powerful position at her company.

She's not someone we should underestimate.

Keep an eye on her.

Yes, ma'am.

It suits you.

Mother, I'm grateful for everything,

but I should look after Jin.

He may not be able to drive anymore,

but he should still work.

You should play golf with me in his stead...

and form good connections with others.

Jin isn't the same anymore.

We all need to help him.

That way, he can work again.

You practiced golfing before.

Let's see if you still remember.

Do a backswing.

Bring it down.

Nice. Good shot.

You'll be improving in no time.

Let's do it again.

Young artists have moved into Sindang-dong...

after the vendors had moved out.

You know that Mullae-dong and Seongsu-dong...

have changed as well, right?

People have opened workshops...

in the marketplaces in Seogwipo, Jeju Island.

Making a list of newbie artists, recommendations, and PR...

I'm willing to help you with all of those.

However,

I'm not going to get involved.

The tailor shop...

is in that marketplace.

I'll be running into her.

That's not right.

There's no mother who wouldn't like to be near her daughter.

Every time I visited her, she refused to meet me.

After she was discharged, she didn't even look for me.

Which decision do you think was easier to make?

Seeing you whenever you visited...

and visiting you when she missed you...

were probably much easier to do.

She had to be strict with herself...

to refuse to see her little daughter when she was incarcerated.

She can see you whenever she wants now,

but she's holding herself back.

She's just coldhearted.

You know that's not the case.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, but we're closed.

Amber?

What's going on? How did you know I was here?

Did you miss me?

Is your heart about to burst?

Well...

Well, I missed you.

Okay.

This is...

my friend.

These works were made by my dad...

and Ms. Oh.

How did you come here?

I volunteered to work on a project.

- What? - I needed an excuse to come here.

I knew you'd think I was crazy had I just come here to see you...

when you had rejected me.

But if I came here to work and then ran into you,

that wouldn't be so bad.

Amber, you...

Don't feel responsible or pressured by this.

I'm doing what I want, and the same goes for you.

You rejected me a long time ago,

but I still like you.

That's why I wanted to give this another try.

Hwan's girlfriend is here.

She's from the U.S. She's very bright.

She's tall, and they look good together.

I think she's from a well-off family. She's cheerful.

She completely lightened the mood.

That was elaborate.

It's just fascinating.

I've never seen anyone who didn't look even a bit gloomy.

Maybe she's a spoiled daughter of a wealthy family.

She's so lovely.

His nickname was Larva.

When I went to school in the morning,

he'd be sleeping on the ground.

He'd look like an insect, lying in a sleeping bag.

Do you know how many times you stepped on me?

How was I to know that there'd be a person under the desk?

You must've studied hard.

He was always running out of time.
