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

Your call cannot be connected. You will be redirected...

Ms. Oh, where are you?

Are you coming to the U.S.?

If you're on a trip,

could you tell me where you are?

I won't tell my family.

I'm just worried.

(I won't tell my family. I'm just worried.)

I hope you aren't having any weird ideas.

(I hope you aren't having any weird ideas.)

Jeju Island.

Are you serious?

Jin, this isn't a school trip. This is your honeymoon.

We're going to live there for a month.

So please find us a place to stay.

Let's see.

Somewhere quiet...

yet sort of nice.

I don't think this is a great idea.

You aren't the one who's going, so just find us a place.

Okay, fine. I didn't say I'm coming along.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

By any chance, was there a young woman who came alone?

I took this on a trip...

and wondered if it would help.

Hwan, it's you, isn't it?

Hwan, why are you here?

My father thought you were in the U.S.

At first, I was going to do that.

But I looked like a lunatic when I saw myself at the airport.

I didn't want to suddenly show up and make you surprised,

so I decided to come here.

You should've just boarded the plane.

That would've been fine.

Do your parents know you're in Korea?

I came here right away.

I haven't even called them.

How did you know I was here?

I was the one...

who made the reservation here back then.

I didn't think anyone could find me here.

I was going to report you as missing if I didn't find you here.

Why did you choose Jeju Island for your honeymoon of all places?

This was the only place...

he hasn't been to.

I've never been anywhere,

and he had been everywhere in this world.

I wanted to start making our memories on Jeju Island,

where both of us have never been to.

So is it still the same?

You still haven't found any traces of him?

I send quarterly reports from the U.S.,

and that's everything.

Mother won't share that with us.

May I see the report from the last year?

No, everything you've found.

Later.

You're here to get some rest.

I should've stayed in the U.S.

I shouldn't have given up and returned.

It has been three years.

Even though our family went back,

the detectives there kept looking for him.

If they couldn't find anything after three years...

If anything, we had to have found his body.

Ontario, Pennsylvania, Vermont,

Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

We searched through every single hospital in the area.

Did we miss something? Did we leave anything out?

- Ms. Oh. - Should I have extended the search?

Should I have gone over to Canada?

We did our best.

Everyone did.

But we haven't found anything.

We don't know anything.

Mother's hair...

turned all gray.

I can now eat well,

make pottery, and paint.

I even dared to hold an exhibition.

But I had no words to say in front of her completely gray hair.

Leave the country with me.

Come with me...

to the U.S.

You can start over.

Let's let her go.

I only consider her my protege who will take over the workshop,

but people would think otherwise.

We should let her go so that she can live a normal life...

Not a chance.

Isn't that what you wanted?

What do you think Jin would say if he comes back?

He'll throw a fit, saying we kicked out his wife.

If they fight and broke up, there's nothing we can do.

But not before then.

- Not a chance. - Stop being unreasonable.

It'll be uncomfortable for you if she leaves.

At least you had Hwan before.

If she leaves too, you'll be...

alone in your condition.

Still. We can't hold back someone with a bright future ahead of her.

You're being absurd.

Do you want to get a new wife?

Honey.

Just keep her around.

If we have to send her away later, I'll take care of it.

I'm the idiot for thinking I could discuss anything with you.

You didn't come here to discuss it.

You came to notify me.

If you change your attitude, it would be a discussion.

I'm so sick of this.

Whatever we talk about, it always ends with you complaining about me.

Are you leaving?

She doesn't have dinner plans tonight.

You haven't eaten together in a while, so...

Don't try so hard.

It's not like it'll change our relationship at all.

She isn't seeing anyone anymore.

After what happened to Mr. Seo,

she ended it with everyone.

Take good care of her. That will do.

My apologies. I was out of line.

Have a nice day.

I told you not to look.

It's in the past. Why are you checking it again?

It would only kill you inside.

Was this it?

Was this what you were doing there?

Checking the corpses of complete strangers...

and feeling despair.

And so many, too.

Someone has to do it.

I'm sorry...

for making you go through this alone.

You should've told me.

You should've whined...

that it was hard and that it hurt.

Why didn't you say anything?

Why...

If you need confirmation that Jin died,

you don't need to look at these.

It has been three years.

If he were alive, he'd be with us now.

Jin is no longer in this world.

What if...

he didn't die, but rather, he left me?

What if he isn't coming back...

because he doesn't want to come back to me?

Why would you think that?

You know how much he wanted you,

and how much he loved you.

- Thank you. Have a nice day. - Thank you.

- It's done. Thank you. - Next guest, please.

Next guest, please.

Hello.

Please put half in here and the other half in here.

Yes, ma'am. Right away.

It looked like they were digging nonstop,

but they erected a lot already.

This company does well, right?

Yes, I'm sure they make good money.

But what's the use?

They don't know whether or not their precious son is dead or alive.

Their eldest son went missing while abroad in another country.

It was all over the Internet.

They never found him, from what I recall.

If they still haven't found him...

He's dead.

Even if he's alive, he couldn't be normal.

("Eldest Son of Jinhwan A and C Missing... Body Yet to be Found")

(Seo Jin, the eldest son of the owners of Jinhwan A and C...)

I have to get going.

Take a look.

Is the tile fish good nowadays?

Yes, it's delicious.

- I'll take some chili peppers. - Okay.

Are these spicy?

Yes.

- Here. - Thank you. How much is it?

When did you get up?

We could just go out to eat. You have no energy as is.

You must be craving Korean food.

I wanted you to have home cooking.

Want a taste?

Okay.

When did you get so good?

I'm not so bad anymore.

I need to take a picture of this.

Just sit down.

Look here.

Just sit down.

Thank you for the food.

This is awesome.

It's because the ingredients are fresh.

Go to Seoul and see your parents, and then go back.

Don't fail your classes because you're missing school.

I want to take a break.

I've had no time to rest in the U.S.
