Little Women (작은 아씨들)

Why did you tell Hyo-rin to submit your painting as hers?

It was painted by Hyo-rin.

I was Hyo-rin when I was painting it.

With her typical expression on my face,

I used her favorite colors and textures.

That painting is perfect.

The General knew that I was special.

That's why he passed down this house to me instead of Sang-woo.

I had to make huge sacrifices,

but I overcame them all.

Do you…

want that doll?

Yes.

Then…

can you do it too?

Can you betray someone

who loves you the most in the world?

What about you?

What sacrifice did you have to make?

My father's…

death.

As soon as I returned from the States after my divorce,

I bought a small apartment with a view of the Han River.

Everyone tried to stop me.

They said I should remarry with the money I had

instead of buying a house to live alone.

Did you ever regret it?

I believe that people become rich by choice.

Should I get married or become rich? I was at a crossroads.

I chose to become rich.

You could've waited down there. I would have been right back.

It's okay. I'm glad to be here.

I've always wanted to visit your home.

You're my friend.

I was going to keep this house and only rent it out.

I didn't want to sell it to anyone.

Are you sure

it's okay to sell it to me?

There's a perfect soul for each home.

If this house chooses to accept you, I should step away.

Don't open it!

Why not?

It doesn't close.

How do you shower here?

Well…

Like this.

Like this?

You're more likely to succeed when you live in a good house.

Because you can put most things behind once you're home.

-Are these ants? -Yes.

Sit over there. This is where ants travel.

Capitalism is a psychological game.

There's an emotion only the wealthy can overcome

while the poor cannot.

What emotion is that?

A sense of loss.

I see.

You must be ready to lose something to make big money.

Because only those who risk more can win.

You know,

even if I lose everything, I can always start again from scratch

if I have a home like this.

I…

think so too.

You can sit here alone and watch the sunset and nightfall.

You can decide by tomorrow morning, right?

Everything in your home is real.

What about yours? Is everything fake?

It also seems like your sisters really love you.

That's what pisses me off at times.

You accept love like it's a given.

I'd be much more grateful if I were you.

You know, about love…

Do we have to accept it if it's given to us?

Can't we just turn it down if we don't want it?

Can we?

Hey, what will you do about the window that doesn't close?

We just need to keep the lights off.

The screen fell out, so bugs will fly in.

We might get a rat though.

A little rat came in last time.

-We should close it right now. -A rat!

I'm sleeping over at my friend's tonight.

It's perfect.

I think this house likes me.

I never imagined I could own an apartment unit like this in my life.

So you're going to buy that apartment with the stolen money?

Why do you keep calling it "stolen money"?

It's money I received.

Anyway, you need to see for yourself.

Once you do, you'll understand.

How can I put this?

It feels like I have a reliable guardian who'll keep me safe no matter what.

No, I'll never understand.

You once said something along those lines before.

When you brought your husband-to-be.

You said he'll keep you safe no matter what,

and that he owns an apartment in Seoul.

Hey! How can you compare this with that?

In-kyung, let's start anew here.

I'll get another job and start learning English too.

And I'll get certified in accounting.

We've been poor for so long. We deserve to be happy now.

So what about it?

Poverty can bring people down, but it can also make people stronger.

We overcame everything to get to where we are.

I'm proud of us.

I'm not giving it all up over a measly two billion won.

"A measly two billion won"?

You're so full of yourself.

Hey, we were in hot water last month because we didn't have a mere 2.5 million.

We couldn't fix a window, so it's been stuck for three years.

And our sister…

had to die without receiving any treatment.

How can you say that about this money? It can turn our lives around.

"A measly two billion won"?

I'm also heartbroken over our sister.

That's why…

we have to escape this.

I'll quit drinking and change my life around starting now.

I can do it.

You fool. There is only one way for you to live a different life.

What is it?

Not being poor anymore.

I'll bring it all back.

Mom, Dad, In-hye, and you.

I'll make sure we all live without worrying about money.

In-joo, I'm someone who reports embezzlement, theft,

and fraud as crimes.

How can I report the news while living in a house

bought with stolen money?

So what?

Are you going to turn me in if I buy this unit?

If you really have to, let's cut ties with each other.

- I cannot accept your decision. -What?

Don't call me for the time being. I'm blocking you.

Hey, In-kyung!

She's so full of herself.

BLOCK CONTACT

Do you remember this day?

This patient caused trouble from early in the morning.

He cried out saying someone was coming to kill him.

He locked himself in the bathroom and didn't come out.

When I opened the door and went in,

everything was in a complete mess, as expected.

People who are in a state of confusion

tend to want to make their surroundings just as confusing.

First, I prepared the sedatives.

I'm rather quick,

so it takes me less than 30 seconds to prepare the shot.

-But the patient was already calm. -The war…

It takes quite a while for patients to calm down

when they get that much adrenaline.

I thought, "Who's that lawyer?"

"The patient is breathing and talking almost normally."

Did you hear what he said?

The war isn't over.

"The war isn't over."

The General is waiting.

"The General is waiting."

How high do you think that someone from rock bottom can rise up to?

To the highest

and the brightest place.

Then the lawyer looked at me,

and I almost screamed.

Why?

Because he looked so cold.

There are men like him among talented doctors.

People who keep their heart rate under 90 even in the direst situation,

like people who dispose of bombs.

"Do lawyers have to be like that too?"

I remember wondering that.

What is that?

I think the patient is holding something in his hand.

It's a flower. It's thin and blue.

I think the lawyer gave it to him.

By any chance…

was it this one?

It was.

Doesn't it look like a face?

If you look closely, it seems like it's looking back at you.

Is that why it's called the ghost orchid?

It's strange that there's a whole book written about this orchid.

"Joel Fields. Jang Sa-pyeong."

It's even stranger that someone translated this.

How did you find this book? You're just as strange.

We played detectives when we were kids.

You were the director and I was the assistant.

We were meant to take turns each week, but you forgot.

So I kept being the director,

pretending I had forgotten too.

I didn't forget.

I was afraid you'd stop playing with me if I asked you to switch.

Where's Hyo-rin?

Let's go on a little date while Hyo-rin is with her math tutor.

Are you good at keeping secrets?

Yes.

I'd like to ask you to do something without anyone else knowing.

"An orchid that is also called a ghost."

"Among over 30,000 kinds of orchids, this blue orchid is the most mysterious."
