Oh... Mom...
Where have you been for your face and hair to look like that?
I got caught in the rain.
Rain? It didn't rain.
It rained in Kang Won.
Kang Won? Did you go to Kang Won?
I thought it'd be good to get some fresh air and clear out my thoughts...
You sure went far for some fresh air.
I know, right?
Is it that hard?
Others can't stand it because they can't get on the air.
Is it so difficult for you to do it?
Why were you born that way? Why are you so sensitive?
Do you know how humiliated I was today?
Forget the fact that you skipped the interview,
but does it make sense that a mom can't get in touch with her daughter?
You also couldn't contact me for nearly 30 years.
Sleep well.
In Soon!
Let's first get through the scheduled interviews.
Then let's talk again afterwards.
Mom.
I know. I know that I have nothing to say as a mom.
I'll do it.
I said I'll do it.
From now on, I'll do everything you tell me to so don't worry.
Fine, I'll just get popular then.
Did you think I should continue to live like this?
I'm not doing this because you're telling me to.
I'm doing it because I want to.
In Soon!
Sunbae, where are you right now?
I'm on my way back to Seoul?
Already? Why?
I have something to say up there.
You should have told me. I would have gone with you.
What's the point?
Have a good time and come up when you're done.
By chance... is In Soon going up with you as well?
Why?
Nothing. I just didn't see her around.
Okay. I'll see you later.
[Park In Soon]
The phone is turned off.
Actually, subway girl and many other things are, in this hero-less age,
born by a monster called mass media, a tragic excrement.
Frankly speaking, what does subway girl have relations with nature of this person?
Is that your guilty conscience?
Or a sense of inferiority?
Honestly, these kinds of cases aren't very common.
It's an opportunity from the heavens.
No matter how hard we work,
it would be difficult to grow a new person into a star.
But for her to already be known is something we're grateful for.
From this point on, all we have to do is maintain her image and be her publicist.
Should we start by taking photos for her portfolio?
Portfolio?
You just have to do as he says.
We'll take care of her schedule from now on.
By the way, there's something that you should be warned about.
Your honesty and altruism.
is the main image of the Park In Soon brand.
Please keep it in mind.
Don't be tense. Relax! Okay!
You're doing great.
Smile. Bright. Brighter! A little more.
Okay, a little more. That's great.
One, two, three.
Just like that, don't move. A little brighter.
One, two, three.
That's good. Look here, but look confident.
A little more sexy. Okay... okay...
I'm Park In Soon.
I am not the Park In Soon from the past.
I'm going to forget that dingy past of mine.
I'm going to be reborn as someone who is loved and respected.
Watch me.
See what happens.
- Hello, we're here. - Hello!
We were waiting for you.
But the beginning was somewhat...
It's not a method that I really like but...
In Soon, please look here and smile.
But let's just do it. Why not?
Enjoy your meal!
Sang Woo, look at this.
Is In Soon trying to become an entertainer?
I knew this is the way this would go.
How sad for In Soon.
What?
She doesn't know how temporary it is...
She's acting like she's already a star by getting photographed and creating publicity scenarios.
Don't you think you're being a little harsh?
About what?
I wasn't rebuking In Soon, I was talking about her management company.
Honestly who ever ends up remembering stars that were made this way?
Subway Girl, Bus Girl, Taxi Girl...
whoever comes out next is when her bubble pops.
In Soon is naive so I don't think she's taken that into account.
This is really sad.
This is someone else's business. Why do you care so much?
Sunbae!
And why do you keep saying In Soon?
In Soon is my friend. So shouldn't you be calling her unni?
Let's keep our formality, Jae Eun.
- Advertisements? - Yes, advertisements, CFs!
They said it's going to be on the air soon.
There's been a lot of offers from everywhere.
I've been so busy turning people down.
It's here!
Eun Seok, I'll buy you things like this everyday so eat a lot.
I'll eat this well.
Is it fun?
It is! I get treated like royalty wherever I go.
I feel really good.
Your words were a big help to me.
You told me to do whatever you want to do.
You were right. This was my path for me.
This isn't some random luck that came my way.
This was definitely my destiny.
Luck that comes your way without you having to work for it isn't your destiny.
It's a test. Be warned.
If you're doing what you want then, that's fine.
But never forget why you're doing it.
Was being treated like royalty your life's goal?
Teacher...
Do you not like it when things go well for me?
What?
When I said I was flustered, you said to do whatever I wanted.
Did I?
You're always like this. Am I that untrustworthy?
I'm getting sick of your advice now. It's always the same.
I know that it's all true but can't you just congratulate me?
What I need aren't warnings, it's encouragement.
Noona...
I'm sorry, Teacher. I over-exaggerated again.
Sorry, Eun Seok. Go ahead and eat.
Let's eat. Eat.
Geun Soo! What are you doing here?
I'm waiting for your mother.
She needs to go somewhere and needs me to drive her.
Hey, when were you planning on driving?
Hey, aren't these shoes pretty? They're new.
Where did you go that day?
That day?
You skipped the interview. Where did you go?
Oh that day. Kang Won.
Kang Won?
Yea. Sang Woo...
Do you remember my junior high friend, Sang Woo?
Sang Woo?... oh that rude ***?
There you go again with that mouth of yours.
Sang Woo became a reporter.
He went to a seminar or something so I followed along.
Are you dating that punk?
Dating? No, we're just friends.
He became really smart.
He even went to college.
We're in different classes.
What do you mean dating him? I have a boyfriend.
Class... what do you mean class? He's just rude.
Frankly speaking, he is a little bit rude. You're right.
Hey, you know that I started in show business, right?
I'll be able to pay back your debt soon.
So just wait and I'll take care of it for you.
It's not like you really in the position to be proud in front of other people.
Are you confident or stupid?
Or maybe your memory is bad.
Your words...
I can't understand them. Say it so I can understand!
Want to come to the station tomorrow with Jung Ah?
I'll be recording there tomorrow.
Afterwards I'll treat. Okay?
In Soon!
Hello.
Why did you leave early that day?
Oh that, because I just went to play.
I heard you were coming on as a guest on the show today.
I just heard a moment ago.
Yes.
We sure are connected with one another.
We keep running into each other.
I know.
Your management must really be taking care of you.
Not anyone can come onto our program.
But you're a little too obvious these days.
The whole subway experience wasn't thought up by the management company, was it?
Wow! How did you know that?
This person right here wrote that scenario.
She matched the time of the train and told me to jump.
So I just jumped and I nearly died.
Don't get caught.
If your tail is too long there's a good chance it might get stepped on.
We should go now.
We should have a thorough run through.
It's your first time with a program like this.
I saw In Soon earlier.
She's going to be on Jae Eun's show.
I took a peek,
and maybe because she's a novice, she was really out of it.
She looked so awkward.
The recording should be over soon.
- Good work today. - Yes.
In Soon!
What are you doing here?
Oh that's right, you work here, don't you?
What? Do you have something to say?
Did you really have to go up like that?
Oh that day, you know...
Let's go get some tea.
I'm busy.
You're not busy. Let's go.
I have a meeting.
What meeting? You can push your meetings later.
Let's go!
- I'm serious. - Let's go.
Hey! Oh my! Hey!
Thank you.
Here.
You didn't get caught in the rain that day?
Rain? Did it rain that day?
I do kind of remember getting caught in the rain.
You didn't catch a cold?
I'm fine.
Did your management company schedule your taping today?
How'd you know?
Did you watch it? Is it out already?
What do you want to be?
What do you mean?
A singer? An actress?
An entertainer? That sort of thing?
I'm worried about you getting used everywhere.
What do you mean getting used?
I'm not a little kid. I made decisions myself.
Do you know how vicious this world is?
Suddenly appearing and disappearing, is what this world is.
I'd like it if you were able to find your own strengths and do what you wanted to do.
Thanks for worrying me.
How was your taping today?
It was whatever...
I kind of heard about it.
That kind of thing is for people with a lot of talent for it.
This isn't for everyone.
There are lines of people wanting to do it.
This world is so vicious that...
Geun Soo!
You came at the right time.
This is Yoo Sang Woo, my junior high friend.
He's a reporter here.
This is my siblings, Geun Soo and Jung Ah.
You don't remember Geun Soo? You two have met before, right?
Of course, I remember. That little kid got this big?
Your face is just the same.
It's good to see you.
If you two have things to talk about, we'll eat alone.
No, we're done here.
Sang Woo, we'll see each other later.
Let us go... let's eat..
Wait! Are you going to eat dinner?
Then let me go too.
Let's have a drink.
It's good to see you.
Unni, did you do well today?
What? Oh, of course.
I did so well, they might never invite me back.
Why?
I'm just like that.
All over the place, I think after today I'll never be able to do radio again.
I'm a radio mistake.
That's a little harsh.
It's okay. Don't be too worried about.
Just think of it as a good experience.
Luck is like that.
Of course, Subway Girl wasn't something you asked for
but luck only comes once and after that comes talent.
Isn't it true that the luck was virtual image made by mass media?
I told you earlier but this world is especially vicious.
Lobby or management company has limit.
Even people with the right credentials aren't working out. How could you go there?
You have the worst past.
Anyway, this isn't the place for you.
It's a good time to give it up.
It worked out well.
Hey, be strong Park In Soon.
Let's have a drink.
Fighting!
Oh, Geun Soon, you should have a drink too.
You've got a high tolerance.
Cheers.
But how come you didn't say anything about Geun Soo?
We just met recently too. We weren't able to contact each other this whole time...
I wanted to start dating her...
So I contacted her first.
Oh really?
I've been trying really hard but she hasn't been getting it.
Punk, stop fooling around.
As much as I love you, punk.
Stop, didn't you drive? Eat a lot of meat.
You're so skinny and all you do is drink.
Here my Geun Soo, eat a lot of meat.
Wow! You two aren't kidding.
Are you two some older younger couple? You two look good together.
Where are you going?
The bathroom.
Let's go together.
Is something wrong?
No.
Are you not feeling well?
It's not that.
What is it?
I don't really feel well.
You can drink a lot, can't you? Here.
Hey.
Why do you disrespect people?
What?
When you were younger you chased her around because you liked her.
Why are you disrespecting her now?
When and how did I disrespect her?
Didn't you tell her not to be an entertainer?
Why? Why is that?
Some can and some can't?
Don't misunderstand. I was just being a good friend.
No, that's you acting arrogant.
I know punks like you really well.
You're barely friends with her since now she became that Subway Girl or whatever.
Otherwise you'd be nervous that she'd run into you in the streets.
Watch your mouth.
Am I right?
Can you prove that?
Why did you grow up to be so messed up?
I was already like that. Didn't you know?
I grew up that way.
Hey. What's wrong with you two?
I'm not having a lot of fun so I'm going to leave now.
Hey punk!
Have plenty to drink.
Hey!
Hey...
Geun Soo!
Geun Soo!
Geun Soo!
This punk!
Geun Soo!
The meat is all burning, sir.
How could you mess it up so badly?
What happened? You looked so stupid.
You saw it?
I did.
No matter how nervous you were, couldn't you at least read an email correctly?
- Please wait for a while... - Yes.
However, Sang Woo was wrong.
The luck in my life didn't stop after one time.
Destiny turned out to be crazy.
A main MC? For In Soon?
She made so many mistakes that day.
People must have felt it refreshing since everyone else is always so perfect.
Honestly, she can do anything now because she's so popular.
But to host it, oh my...
And Han Jae Eun was too harsh on In Soon.
She cut her off and mocked her.
All of the viewers saw that.
Really?
And I have a car outside for her from the company.
Oh really?
It's been uncomfortable because she's been borrowing her sister's car.
In Soon!
Big news, big news.
They want you to host that big show!
It's okay, everything's been set now.
Our motto this time is to broadcast with the audience.
All we're doing is keeping with our aim.
Don't worry too much, and just do it comfortably as it is.
You will be able to do it well, In Soon.
Yes.
My goodness, it's nice to meet you, Park In Soon.
Director.
It's my first time meeting you.
I'm your fan!
Did you see the board?
It's going crazy telling us to make In Soon have an appearance again.
Hello.
Congratulations.
Because I have such a busy schedule, I always said that I'd quit that program.
Now they've found a successor.
I'm freed, thanks to you.
Thank you.
Excuse me...
Do well. Then...
Even though I determined myself to be reborn,
it's not something that is easy.
But the train has already left.
No, is it subway?
Yes, Subway Girl.
Now, it's time to fly to the supreme.
I won't turn back.
In Soon!
Mi Hwa!
Now it's hard to see your face unless it's like this.
Wow, it's grand here.
I think so.
A person's destiny is just a matter of time.
I know.
A phone call came.
Oh, Mom.
Which one do you like better?
Anything is fine.
This?
This is better, right?
Yes.
Do your massage well. I'll see you later.
Yes.
Here.
Your mother is so fashionable.
You even know how to use that phone?
I still can't adjust very well.
Did the company give you that phone as well?
Yes.
I'm so envious.
Hey, how is it?
Are you, In Soon? It's a total transformation!
Really?
Wow, look at how your skin is firm.
Oh my.
Do you want to go eat something good after this?
Great!
Excuse me...
After you've finished your massage, you need to go to your speaking school.
Speaking school?
Ah-eh-ee-oh-oo. Please try.
Ah-eh-ee-oh-oo.
This time, we'll try reading a book.
Put the chopstick in your mouth, and we'll try reading.
With accuracy and enunciation, so that your pronunciation goes into you.
Shall we try?
Someone once said...
Human's greatness comes from trial and error.
Why are you calling me continuously? It's annoying.
I have somewhere to go.
You can go and drive yourself.
I have someone who can drive me, so why should I drive?
Where are you going?
I have an audition.
What audition?
I'll wait until you come.
Hey, don't wait. I quit working for your family.
When?
Right now.
When did you come?
You said you quit.
Key.
Where are you having your audition?
Over there.
What audition?
You told me to forget about it.
Let's just go play baseball.
A little later, I'm going to go to a baseball audition.
Geun Soo! Long time no see!
Hey! Stop right there!
Geun Soo! Hey!
Really!
Geun Soo...!
Hey! Pay the money then go!
This way! Come quickly!
Stand up, Geun Soo.
You...
Hey!
Hey!
If you ignore me like that, you'll die.
Our hyungnim's just so kind that he said he'll give you one more chance.
If you don't give it to us in one week,
we'll just chuck you into the Han River.
Understand?
Are you alright?
Blood!
What should I do?
Stay still, you're bleeding.
Why do you live like this?
Why? Why are you living like this?
Live well yourself.
Geun Soo oppa.
Why am I your oppa?
You have to put medicine on it. It keeps bleeding.
Let's go to the hospital. Or at least to the pharmacy.
It's fine.
Talk to me. What happened? Huh?
Let go of this! It's so annoying!
Don't interfere and go home.
Go and play with teddy bears.
Why are you bringing things like this over yourself?
From now on, make the ahjumma do it.
Sit down, my daughter.
Do you know what I'm doing right now?
I'm leaving a message on your fan café.
I thought I would have to say a word of thanks as a mother.
“In Soon is our society's hope. I've fallen for you, In Soon.”
If you're that timid, then what are you going to do?
“I hope that I'll see you more in broadcasts.”
Hey, this man says he fought with his girlfriend because of you.
Why?
It's nothing.
Mom, I suddenly have something curious.
When you first saw me... tell me about that time.
When I first saw you?
I'm suddenly curious.
What did you dream when you got pregnant with me?
I don't know...
Your father dreamed.
Your great grandfather gave him a sparkling star shaped ring.
Was it diamond?
Maybe it was because you were meant to be a star.
I must have wanted to hang a star.
Don't bring up that talk ever again.
It didn't happen.
Engrave it in your heart. Nothing like that happened.
If you bring that up one more time, I won't leave you alone.
Excuse me, Mom, I have pictures when I was young.
Do you want to see those?
Pictures?
Let's see that later.
Come here. Can you come here?
Can you see this?
Isn't this so pretty?
I wore it on my birthday,
but I liked it so much that I've kept it up to now.
I'll give this to you later on.
If we get it shortened, then it'll fit you perfectly.
Jung Ah...
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Jung Ah...
Go out... I want to be alone.
When you come into my room, please knock.
Even though I know that you're busy.
Sorry.
I have something to give you.
If you have time, please visit the department.
Yoo Byung ***.
Welcome.
This product has a good support bar,
so it is a kitchen and concept targeted for women.
Excuse me, but I... I want to see the boss.
Did you come?
You waited a long time, didn't you?
No, not at all.
I'm wondering if I bothered you when you were busy...
I was passing by and I came in to discuss an interior problem that I have.
A magazine company said that they would come to our house as well.
I wanted to meet you.
I sent you a text message. Did you receive it?
A text message?
Oh! I've received it.
I have something to give you.
A present.
A present?
Oh my. Even though I've been a burden...
I'm fine... There is no need...
What is it?
Eat it when it's hot.
It's delicious.
This is the gift?
Yes.
Take it.
The first thing I learned when I went to Canada long time ago
was putting tiles and pasting cement in the bathroom.
After I was done and returning home,
I wanted to eat this so much.
You lived in Canada?
Yes.
I was being chased by debt collector that I escaped to Canada
and stayed at a relative's I knew.
It was so exhausting that I wanted to kill myself by taking medicine.
I suppressed it by thinking about this carp bread.
You are the one that has gathered up my mental suffering as much as the carp bread.
Starting a little while back, life has become so harsh,
and every single day chokes my breath.
but after I've seen your play,
I suddenly wanted to live again... in a right and hardworking way.
I must live full of grace.
I had that kind of heart.
Seeing your acting, I found my courage once again.
Sun Young, thank you so much.
Thank you.
I'm the one thankful.
No.
And I have another small present.
I made a fan club for you.
Although there are not many members yet.
I will work hard, so please continue to watch.
Um...
I'm now a forgotten actress.
Don't make things like that.
If an actor has even one fan, then he or she must continue to act.
Why are you forgotten?
Don't say that.
Did I wash this?
When did I wash this?
My mind these days...
My gosh!
What is this?
After I saw that article, I was shocked.
How can a 65 year old grandmother and a 25 year old man get married?
Although it may be Argentina, how can this happen?
The problem is that they got married.
That's the key point. He wanted her fortune.
Hey, do you think that would be the only reason?
Who knows they are really in love no matter what others say?
What love?
Honestly, isn't something like marriage is simply a trade?
Song Jin Tae.
I thought you were innocent, but now I see you're very calculating than I thought.
Sang Woo, don't you have any thoughts?
It's another thing to ask him.
He is the prince of calculating.
Even now, he doesn't take blind dates very easily.
He is not satisfied to Jae Eun, measuring this and that.
Why are you talking about yourself as if it's someone else?
You're making someone look bad.
Why are you getting agitated?
Let's stop and have a drink.
I'm okay. I need to leave because I came while working.
He's getting mad after I poked him a little, that rascal.
I know your kind of people.
You're treating her like a friend because she's become a Subway Girl.
Or else you would have been scared to meet her in the streets.
Am I right?
Can you assure that it's not true?
You are really really snobbish.
Bad girl.
Thank you.
I will now introduce the new MC who will be leading this program with me starting today.
Please welcome her with applause. Subway Girl, Park In Soon!
When a person changes suddenly, there are two reasons.
When a burning ambition to reach that high place sweeps you away.
And when the first snow falls.
Oh my! Snow is falling.
I was surprised. Haven't you gone yet?
What are you doing here? Why haven't you left?
Because I have something to tell you.
Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm tired.
It's about In Soon noona.
I want to say it now.
It's weather time.
There are a lot of people out there who get fluttery when the first snow comes, right?
Christmas and the first snow are two essentials of winter that you cannot miss,
and if you look outside your window,
the first snow is falling in the Seoul region.
I think there will be a lot of people who will have fluttering hearts
because of the long awaited first snow.
After this snow ends, We will be expecting the full scale cold,
so you must fully prepare for the winter.
Looking at the entire nation, it's snowing in Seoul, Kang Won mountains...
In Soon, have you been well?
Today is a very special day for my family.
Father has finally finished off his debts,
and brought home his first salary.
Mom continues to cry throughout the night.
When I grow older, I will become a strong person.
I will make a world where there are no people in debt, discrimination, and poverty.
In Soon, as soon as you get this, send me a reply.
I'm only living for the hope of getting your letter.
Merry Christmas!
Sang Woo.
In Soon,
the first snow fell here today.
How have you been doing this year?
You're in your third year of high school, so it must be hard, right?
But it'd still be nice if you could send a letter once in a while.
But there is no reply.
This is my last letter.
Tomorrow, our family's moving to a bigger city.
Father's business is starting to settle in.
There will be a time when our family will be able to return to our hometown.
In Soon, I made a wish to the first snow.
That if I get to meet you by chance one day,
please let me recognize you.
When the first snow fell,
Sang Woo.
Do not forget you are beautiful when you smile
You keep making me laugh like light over darkness
When you're suffering you must open your eyes bigger
so that you don't miss the joy that is coming
Do not forget I love you
Erased memories bring up sorrow
{\a6}You can rest your heavy shoulders on me in secret.
In Soon, I want to buy you dinner. Do you have the time?
{\a6}Forever and always please remember
I'm sorry, In Soon. I'm a coward.
{\a6}The reason the world has sent you
Love that is like life to a certain person
It is you
{\a6}Forever and always please remember
I miss you, In Soon.
{\a6}That I am by your side
This person who is truly happy because you exist
{\a6}It is me
- Good job, today. - Thank you.
Okay! In Soon!
- Yes? - Good job.
I'm sorry, I'm so unused to this. My eyebrows were so heavy.
What are you talking about? Your special point is that you're innocent.
And it's your first broadcast,
and if it's like this, it's the best.
Very good. 100 points.
Really? Thank You.
Sang Woo.
Are you in a broadcasting appearance?
Yeah.
In Soon, can I talk to you for a bit?
I don't think I can do that. I'm a little busy.
What are you so busy with?
I have my next schedule.
What schedule?
In Soon!
I need to get going.
Who is that?
Manager.
Manager?
I'll see you later, Sang Woo.
In Soon, I warned you that much, and...
You did so well in your first leading today.
Thank you.
Leading?
You lead a program?
Yeah.
I got assigned just a small program.
I think being an MC is suited for me. It was really fun.
And I heard that your press called. A guest seat?
I rejected the offer. I didn't have the time.
I'll see you again.
You did well!
Congratulations!
They're from your fan club.
We received a call so we let them know the location.
Please give me an autograph.
Please give me a moment.
In Soon.
Do you know In Soon unni?
Excuse me? Yes, I do.
You must be really happy!
Please take a picture for me.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, we have our next schedule.
Thank you.
It's the year end. Share your love with poor neighborhood.
I don't even want to recall the Christmas in prison.
Glory in the heavens, peace on earth,
Go to hell.
Special meals, charity performances, repentance prayers by religious organizations.
I really didn't like it.
I really didn't like the people who called me a sinner.
Now, I want to forget the past completely.
I will at as if the past In Soon didn't exist.
Merry Christmas.
The hardest running among all running,
is running away from the past.
It's a running that is hard like when the light turns red when you are halfway across the street
It would be fatal if In Soon's past got revealed.
You weren't thinking of keeping that a secret, were you?
