The first 200 lines.
He said...
I always told him to study and said nothing else.
To In Seo.
I wanted to say, "When?"
But I couldn't...
because I realized it's true.
When did it begin?
Was it when he got into high school?
Or did I start doing that as soon as he entered middle school?
Of course, you should tell him to study.
If his parents don't, who will?
I'll be honest.
To be very honest, I did compare him with Min Ah.
I couldn't help it.
They were born from the same womb on the same day.
I fed them the same thing and raised them the exact same way.
So why is it that...
he gets 50 or 60 percent when Min Ah gets a perfect score?
When I peek into their rooms at night,
Min Ah would be studying.
Yes.
I adored Min Ah.
I felt bad for her.
And in the morning,
I couldn't help but smile at her once more...
and give her one more side dish.
Then as In Seo was heading out to go to school...
"Study hard. You need to study."
That was all I could say.
It's not like you said it because you hate him.
You said it for his own sake.
He said he knew...
that I favored Min Ah.
He thought his own mother didn't like him,
but he just accepted it.
He said he deserved it...
because he wasn't good enough.
I made my child think that he wasn't good enough...
and that he didn't deserve to be loved.
I made him think like that.
I scarred my child's heart.
Yoo Young, you see...
I always wanted...
to give my children a lot of love when I became a mother.
My parents...
Whenever I think about my mom and dad...
whose faces and voices I barely remember now,
I'm still filled with resentment.
"How could they leave an eight-year-old kid all alone?"
"If only they had lived a little longer..."
"If only they had loved me a little more..."
I think that to myself.
So I always told myself...
I'd be there for my kids for a long time and love them.
I always said to myself that I should give them...
all the love that I, myself, never received.
But what is this?
He said he knows that his mother doesn't love him...
and that she doesn't even care to know what he's up to.
That's what drives me crazy.
Thinking how lonely he must've been...
It really drives me crazy, Yoo Young.
He knows how much you love him.
I'm sure he knows.
It's just something he said out of resentment.
I can't even face him.
I get angry at him, then at myself.
And I feel so bad.
But I can't just let him do whatever he wants.
Am I being greedy?
Or is this a mother's love?
I don't know anything anymore, Yoo Young.
The countless nights
I cried myself
To sleep
You probably believe that and feel sorry for me
But I'm okay
I'd like room service.
I want the exact same thing I ordered last night.
A big bottle of champagne too. Thank you.
I will never fall
I'm okay, I'm okay
Geum Sang Gu! I don't need a jerk like you in my life.
I'll be totally okay,
but you won't be!
You're doomed now!
Gosh, why am I suddenly getting chills?
Why isn't this working?
- What's wrong with this? - Sang Gu.
Hey, is this broken?
It used to shoot out two every time. What's with this?
It worked earlier.
There you go.
Goodness, this machine's playing favorites.
This isn't important, Sang Gu.
What should we do? The female lead won't sign the contract.
What are you talking about?
I even met the owner of her agency the other day.
I know. But the drama we'll be competing against.
The new one on the other network. She got a role in it.
If this is not true, you're dead meat.
Hey, you.
What? What do you mean you can't work on it?
You can't choose that project when you already promised me.
Have you lost your mind?
Where am I going to find another director of photography?
Darn it. Who am I going to work with now?
Hello?
Has he really lost his mind?
Did the director of photography bow out?
Then what about the test shoot? Even the female lead is gone.
Darn it. What is going on?
I haven't heard from her yet, Yoo Young.
Really?
Thank goodness.
Yes, I was thinking she probably went there.
How's Young Hye? She's okay, right?
Thanks for all your help.
Yes, thank you.
No. Maybe later.
She probably doesn't want to see me yet.
Right.
"The two feet made up their mind."
"We won't even budge from now on."
"Yes, we'll only do what we want to do."
"Hey, let's go to the kitchen. I'm starving."
I'm heading out.
Heon, what time is your class?
I'll be leaving in a bit.
How's Mother?
Oh, she's okay.
Did she call you?
Her phone is still off, and she's ignoring my texts.
Where is she now?
Well, your mom needs some rest.
She's okay, so don't worry too much.
See you later.
Have a good day.
Don't worry too much.
He said she's okay.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Extra charges may apply...
What?
Why are you avoiding me?
What's with you these days?
I wasn't avoiding you.
You clearly were. Did I do something wrong?
Then just tell me.
I'll reflect on myself and apologize to you.
No, I told you that you did nothing wrong.
Come in.
Sorry to interrupt. I'll just leave this tea here for you.
It's okay. Come in.
Okay, I'll come in for a second then.
Did you get all the materials you need?
No, I just brought what I already had.
I wonder if my dad saw this coming or something.
He bought me those things as a gift.
I'll go to an art supply store and pick up the rest soon.
Okay. You need to buy the canvas fabric, emulsifier...
You need so many things.
Shall I tag along? I'll help you carry things.
Really? Will you be my porter?
Sure, I'll carry everything for you.
I can do that much for our illustrator.
All right.
Are you trying to draw them again?
Yes. I want to get the details down for the characters...
and for the background as well.
This is my first time working on illustrations from scratch,
so I'm trying to pick out the best scenes to draw.
That's why I keep reading the manuscript.
I see.
- Mr. Geum. - Yes?
You're having fun, right?
You keep smiling. Do you know that?
Am I?
Yes, it's fun.
The works of most artists I assisted in the past were abstract.
They always knew exactly what they wanted to depict,
so I was never given this kind of room to think.
So these characters...
I mean, thinking about the animal characters' faces,
the background, and their movements within it...
Yes, it's fun.
Go ahead and finish it up.
Yes, I will.
Aren't you leaving?
I am. Bye.
I am working on it, Ms. Min Ga Eun on the design team.
Okay, I'm off.
Have fun with the drawings.
Honey, here.
I'm not here to talk.
There's nothing here. You need to eat something.
I'm interviewing for jobs.
I'll find another job soon.
I'm sorry.
That's all I can say to you now.
