You got the answer,
so you deserve the prize.
I don't need money.
Once I am old enough to use that money,
its monetary value would have dropped.
Is that so?
I'd like land.
A place with lots of plants and trees.
I like this area, right here.
That land was used to make pottery. It's useless.
Do you want the land in Bundang that badly?
Let's see.
How does 160,000m² sound?
This small village will become a new city,
home to 390,000 people.
According to the government's New Town development plan,
on Seongnam's Bundang area,
about 105,000 medium to large apartment blocks will be built.
They will reduce the burden on Gangnam's housing demand...
by housing 420,000 people.
What an incredible change this place went through.
There was just one reservoir...
with fields and rice paddies reaching the horizons.
People say that Bundang...
is the next best place to live, second to paradise.
Did you know then...
that this place would become like this?
Do you simply have good discernment?
Or are you just lucky?
I owe it to a grandfather who gifted me 160,000m² of land.
Not anyone gets to be born your grandson.
Does that make me lucky?
From the land here,
do you know how much you made?
Welcome, sir.
This way, please.
The 24 billion won you asked for.
Good.
The compensation for the purchase of land was 14 billion.
Ten billion was from selling the nearby commercial land.
A total of 24 billion won...
is what you earned.
Would you like to count it out?
How will you manage to spend all this?
If you buy books with it,
you'll never read them all in your lifetime.
If you spend it on tuition,
you'll have to get a hundred degrees.
If you're afraid, leave it with me.
I'll pay you more in interest than a bank does.
Do Jun is still a kid, isn't he?
It's only natural.
Where could he have seen such a huge amount?
Sir, Hangang Bank's Namdaemun Branch called.
Do Jun has exchanged the money in the account into dollars.
Shouldn't you ask him what it's for?
He may be clever,
but it's too much money for a 20-year-old.
Does money choose people depending on their age?
Let's find out if Do Jun...
is a fortunate boy,
or a boy with foresight.
It's just luck.
How else can you explain it?
What could a little boy know about real estate...
that he'd ask for land in Bundang?
No one can beat someone with great luck.
Doesn't that make him even scarier?
What does Father say almost every day?
You don't become rich by working hard.
It's up to the heavens.
Do Jun made 24 billion won...
by just pointing at a map.
Father could think...
his youngest grandson is blessed.
Wait.
Is that why? Isn't it weird?
Dad gave that massive sum to a kid who just started college...
and let him manage it himself.
He's not that kind of person.
He never let us do anything like that.
Not even Seong Jun, his eldest grandson.
Right?
Seong Jun is the eldest heir,
and he was exiled in the name of study.
Why does Father play favorites with the youngest, Do Jun?
That money.
It's the price of our father's life.
If not for Do Jun,
when the plane exploded in midair,
Father would've died in it.
Who cares if it's 24 billion or 240 billion?
It's too early for such a fuss.
Don't you feel ashamed?
You're jealous about a 20-year-old boy's allowance.
You're grown-up adults.
Do you really think so?
That it's allowance?
That it's a simple gift?
It could be a test.
Father could be testing the boy with plans on picking a successor.
What is it that I am
Trying to look for?
Where to is it that I am
Flowing so endlessly?
The upcoming New York Film Market.
Take me with you, Father.
To the Film Market?
I got into university,
but I have lots of time until the semester starts.
I'd like to travel,
and maybe do some advising on what films you should invest in.
You'll be an investment advisor?
You know I have a good eye.
I think I'm the one who got you this office.
I must release this movie on Christmas at all costs?
Do Jun.
You're still young and don't know about movies.
Christmas movies are for families.
Who'd want to watch a gloomy movie about a kid...
left alone at home while his family went traveling?
And you still...
want me to import this movie?
So you want to go to the New York Film Market?
Yes. Who knows?
This time, it might not be just an office.
Perhaps I could buy you a whole building.
There was no me anymore
We are still young We still have a nice future
Now wipe up your cold tears
Come back home
Let's go home now.
- You go ahead. - Come with me.
I'm not Seo Tai Ji.
Oh, gosh...
- Hey, Do Jun. - What?
Just because you got into law top of the class,
don't get fancy and have dreams...
of passing the bar while you're still in college.
What?
Play. Have fun.
Go on group blind dates, regular blind dates, casual dates,
- and go out with someone. - Hang on.
Are they all different?
Are they the same, then? They have different terms.
Don't do that.
Don't make the face of a man who already lived a lifetime.
- What? - Don't do that either.
- I'll do it. - Go away.
Wait, what's that?
- No way. - What do we do now?
What is it?
Excuse me.
- They'd caused a fuss... - Excuse me.
- Coming through. - Sorry.
- They announced their retirement. - What is it?
As of today, January 31, 1996...
Are they disbanding or retiring?
They're retiring.
- Oh, no... - Jeez.
Why are they retiring?
My loves.
They're retiring because the pain of creating music is too much.
What's this?
This is a look I've never seen on your face.
I can't believe that's her face when she was 20.
Do you know her?
Did you meet her? When?
What?
Oh...
In 20 years' time.
"In 20 years' time."
He's at it again.
Move, mister.
- Move. - Okay.
- I can't see. - I'm not a mister.
Chang Je, are you getting old?
You shouldn't be up this early. What's going on?
Why are you coming to see me?
Take a look at this, Father.
I don't think Hando Steel will last a month.
It's a great chance to buy it up cheap.
They took out too many loans to try to expand.
If you underwrite Hando Steel now,
wouldn't it help subsidiaries that use steel...
such as Soonyang Heavy Machinery, Motors, and Machinery?
How will they handle this much debt?
If the government vouches for us,
we can extend the repayment deadline to suit us.
Can we trust President YS?
If Hando Group were to break up now,
it would cause huge turmoil.
The President would want to prevent the worst.
Having a prosecutor son-in-law...
is so reassuring.
I thought I should give you...
one last gift while I still work there.
What?
Are you going to start a law firm?
