People.

People live their own private lives.

And

in the Constitution, there's something called Privacy Law.

So everyone has the right to privacy by law.

However, is it really protected?

We live in a world where we feel like losers

if we don't share our private lives.

So we share our private lives with one another.

And sometimes, we steal them.

Or at times, for our personal interest,

we collect, analyze, and use other people's private lives.

Right now, Korea is facing the era of shared privacy

while we are engaged in a war of privacy.

And I

fabricate my private life,

so I can be happy like I am now.

PRIVATE LIVES EPISODE 1

How do you like this restaurant?

SPRING, 2010

It's nice.

Doesn't this remind you of our trip to Europe?

The steak we had there was really delicious.

-Do you want some wine? -Sounds great.

Excuse me.

We'd like to order some wine. Can you make a recommendation?

I'll bring the menu.

Soju is the way to go with meat.

You're still young. Give a couple more years.

I only drank soju when I was your age, too.

You're treating me like a kid again.

He finished the whole bottle.

-He'll call a chauffeur. -There are a lot of motels around here.

That'd be a waste of money.

And how do you know that?

Forget it.

We'll have to take a rain check on the wine.

How sad.

I'll keep eating here.

Go do your job.

Joo-eun! Oh, no. Joo-eun!

Joo-eun, what happened?

-Joo-eun. -Joo-eun.

-No way. -My daughter.

-Is she dead? -Joo-eun.

Joo-eun.

Were you even looking?

Let go of me. And we'll talk.

-Joo-eun, wake up. -Hold on. Did you drink?

Gosh. Damn it.

Joo-eun.

What are you going to do?

Gosh. I can't believe you pushed me.

You're a part of the family.

We spent a lot of money to raise you.

Until when will you get a free ride from us?

I could have jumped in myself. You didn't have to push me.

That's attempted murder.

You're acting as if you were hit by a truck on a highway.

Besides, you didn't spend any money to raise me.

I don't go to prep schools or even have tutors.

How could you say that to your daughter who studies all on her own?

You mean you gave up studying on your own.

You just lounge around at home.

What about the money for your clothes and allowance?

Where did that money come from?

Aren't I entitled to that?

It's a price you must pay for bringing me into your happy marriage.

And I was conceived when you two were drinking and having fun.

You only married him because of me.

You should at least fulfill your duties as a mother until I come of age.

How can you be so irresponsible and call yourself a mother?

You got your ID card. You're an adult now.

That doesn't make me an adult. I'm still not old enough to drink.

-But you do. -Legally speaking.

You ignore the law,

get into bars with a fake college ID for drinks.

That proves that you're a full-grown adult, okay?

-Come on. -Just eat.

I have a very casual relationship with my daughter.

We're like good friends.

Just like in Northern Europe.

Dad.

Your daughter is injured. Very severely injured.

I'm sorry, my daughter.

I'm just in a good mood.

How much did you get?

-Joo-eun. -Yes?

It's a trade secret.

Come on!

Whatever. I don't want anything else. I want to buy a smartphone.

What?

You mean the phone that costs like a million won?

No way.

Isn't that too much for a student to carry such a phone?

You said I'm an adult now.

Exactly. You should buy it with the money you earned.

You con artists!

I had the lead role. Don't turn me into an extra now.

Are you conning your daughter, too?

What are you talking about?

Dad is the lead and I'm the supporting role.

You're not an extra. You're the stuntwoman.

Besides, we're not scamming people. We're filming a documentary.

A documentary to redistribute the wealth.

We're filming a documentary, okay?

-Stop the car! -Don't.

Come on! Stop the car now!

Joo-eun.

Let go of me. I'm reporting you two. No, I'll turn myself in.

Fine. I'll buy you a smartphone.

Too late now.

Okay. I'll throw in a new jacket.

Consider yourself lucky.

I'm too nice for my own good.

I'm so proud of you.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

-Ta-da. Isn't this cool? -What is it?

-What's that? -Doesn't this look so pretty?

That's so cool.

Look at this. I can browse the internet if I touch the screen.

On top of that, this phone takes awesome photos. It's amazing.

Look over here.

One, two, three.

Look.

Let's take another one. There's a beggar in the photo.

Because Jesus will lead me

Thank the Lord

For Jesus is with me

Through the hardships of life I'm always happy--

Because Jesus will lead me

Thank the Lord Jesus Christ

What…

Thank the Lord Jesus Christ

For Jesus is with me

Joo-eun.

What's your real job?

Are you a beggar?

Of course not.

Then, what is it?

This is just temporary. It's like a part-time job.

Then, what is your day job?

-I perform confidence tricks. -Are you in the circus, too?

No, I con people.

If you don't want to admit it, at least keep it consistent.

Are you a documentary actor or a trickster?

Let's go with a documentary actor.

I want you to stick to your day job.

Just stick to conning people. At least that looks cool.

Don't beg for money on the street.

Right now, I feel…

I feel so crappy right now.

Come home early. Don't drink.

Okay.

This is a part of the documentary, too. Why won't she understand?

Does she think I enjoy doing this?

I'm doing this for her.

I did everything to raise her well. Now she's preaching to me?

Gosh, it startled me.

Do you get good grades? You don't.

-Is going to school my day job? -Is it not?

Dad, I'm still just a student.

Aren't you curious about what I'll do with my life?

Whatever I become, I'll be fantastic at it. Don't worry.

I'll have a successful life.

Please do so.

CHEONGPA WOMEN'S CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

9 YEARS LATER

It must have been so tough for you.

The weather

makes me want to read a book.

I was reading a book,

then I was reminded of my trip from a year ago.

I want to go on a trip with someone, too.

-You're so pretty. -The goddess returns.

Are you in Nice? Let me come with you.

I think it's been a year.

It's been a while. I missed you.

OTTU RESTAURANT

Welcome.

What would you like?

Kimchi stew, please.

-Make it spicy and flavorful. -You must order more than a serving.

I'll pay for two servings, but just give me one serving.

What's this?

It's on the house.

Why?

-No? -What do you mean?

People who come here alone are usually from the slammer.

Well, I guess you could think that.

But I wasn't.

-Really? -I work for a large conglomerate.

You have to eat tofu if you want to stay out of there.

"Your crimes will wash away, and you'll have a slate as clean as tofu."

This is what some people think.
