Have you heard of the story, "The Princess and the Pea"...
written by Hans Christian Andersen?
On a stormy night, a woman who is completely soaked in rain...
claims herself to be the princess.
She asks the prince to let her stay at his palace for the night.
As the prince has been desperately looking for a princess,
he puts a pea on a bed in the room,
covers it with all the blankets in the palace,
and lets her stay for the night.
It was to find out whether she truly was a princess or not.
Having money, power,
and charms can be a nuisance.
You can't know the truth.
You don't know what is true or not.
The letter that says my daughter is alive...
can be a lie.
I must test to see...
if it's true or not.
The first step is to question it.
(Episode 9)
Come to my house right now. Father is coming.
Please go quickly.
- Step on it, please. - Okay.
Sir, do you see that car?
- Please follow it. - Okay.
Ho Rim, wait until I catch you.
- Hi. - Hello, Father.
I dropped by to see how you were.
Father.
My daughter.
This is where you live.
It's a little shabby.
It's extremely...
modest, small, and suffocating.
It's very small.
No matter how big...
Gangnam may be, it's limited.
I picked a few houses.
Move to a house that you like.
I'm okay, Father.
I don't need a parking space.
- What? - I'll return the cars.
- Why? - One car is enough.
I have you after all.
I know, I know.
Come on, my baby.
My lovely daughter.
My baby.
Let's take a look around your apartment.
You only have one pair of bathroom slippers.
That means you only have your laundry.
The smell.
I don't smell the presence of any men.
It's full of...
women's smell.
Listen, Father. That's because...
You're also dominant...
in your personal life.
That's you.
Only the strong survives.
You're definitely my daughter.
Bring a bottle of wine.
I told him you're late since you're buying it.
This is not a bank.
This isn't where the investor is.
Where did he go?
Fine, he'll come back since he got off here.
I'll wait until you come out.
Where should I go?
Darn it.
- What is it? - Don't you know me?
Who are you?
Remember the police station?
The police station?
It's time to get off, ma'am.
I remember.
This is embarrassing.
That's not a pleasant memory.
Why are you saying hello?
What is it?
Do you want me to apologize?
Is that why?
I apologize. Are you happy?
- No. - What?
I apologize to you in advance.
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
Let me go.
You're so strange. What are you doing?
What on earth? Are you out of your mind?
What are you doing?
That's my spot.
- What did you say? - Can you move?
Are you kidding? This place doesn't belong to you.
What are you talking about?
Fine, you can sit here.
Be my guest. Sit here.
Gosh.
This is unbelievable.
You look normal,
but you must be sick in the head.
What's wrong with him? Why does he keep looking at me?
Is he trying to flirt with me?
Gosh, is he out of his mind?
I guess I'm still attractive.
My goodness.
He's scaring me.
I almost forgot.
It was one block farther. This isn't the right place.
Where's my husband? Honey, I'm here.
Honey.
Hello, sir.
I was late because I was getting some wine.
What?
Are you offering me such low quality wine?
I'm sorry. I was in a hurry.
Quality brands...
are high in value. They aren't luxury.
I hope you'll upgrade...
your taste and hobbies soon.
Yes, sir.
That's easy to say.
Dinner is ready.
Okay.
Let's eat food that my daughter made.
Okay.
I look forward to our dinner.
It's not much, but I hope you enjoy it.
It's not much at all.
Why didn't you make some soup?
For your health,
fasting after 7pm is the best.
Soup is highest in sodium.
Help yourself.
Thank you,
my daughter.
Thank you for the meal.
Why aren't you eating?
Father.
I don't eat anything after 6pm.
This is great.
Why is he so busy?
He has to work since he'll be a father soon.
Isn't that right, Do Dam?
Dad has to earn a lot of money.
Are you still indecisive?
That's not it.
When will you schedule your wedding...
and prepare for it?
You'll have your baby soon.
Goodness.
Gosh.
Isn't that Ho Rim?
Look at him.
What should I do?
Come on. Go and find out for yourself.
I can't.
Are you in touch with Hae Min?
Of course I am.
She told me that her wedding got canceled.
I felt bad for her.
By the way,
you've gotten so pretty.
- Goodness. - I thought...
- Go now. - ...you were an actress.
Come on.
Why doesn't anyone ask you out when you're so pretty?
Is it because you're too pretty?
Gosh, you're flattering me.
You should meet someone nice...
and get married yourself.
To prepare for that,
you need a savings account.
If you aren't prepared, you'll have to downgrade...
the ceremony and the gifts.
In a few months,
I'll become a dad.
Can you open an account...
as a way of welcoming my kid into the world?
This product is one of our more popular ones.
Didn't you say your family lives above and below?
I should say hello.
My mom went traveling with her friends,
and my sister's at...
A party with her husband.
She's at a party, yes.
Too bad.
Have some herb tea, Dad.
Would you like to see some photos?
That's it.
Bring me the photos taken at your wedding.
Our wedding photos...
Seven years ago.
Photos taken then, at your wedding.
I'd like to know what kind of a wedding you had without me.
- They burned... - We lost them...
There was a small fire when we moved house.
The mover caused a fire by mistake,
and burned our albums and clothes.
We lost everything in that fire.
The photos were all so pretty. I'm sad we lost them.
I also think it is a great pity.
What a loss.
Try the tea. It smells lovely.
Father, the mark on your face...
So what will you do?
Pardon? About what?
In three weeks' time.
You will come to Bodoantia...
with Ji Young, won't you?
Of course he will, Dad. We're married.
With speed and haste.
Wrap up your job at the bank.
- Pardon? - Right?
Well... Right.
Why should I come with you?
I'm going, and you won't? Wouldn't he suspect something?
Even so, I can't quit my job.
Why do you think I'm telling these lies?
It's to keep my job.
No way, I can't quit.
It's quite simple.
We're pretending to be married. You can pretend to quit.
Does that make sense? He's an important investor.
Can't you deal with that on your own?
Think how we ended up putting on this show.
Didn't you start all this because you were afraid...
he'd find out we weren't married and...
withdraw all his investments?
I'm just as frustrated.
I feel like you dragged me into the swamp.
I'm sorry, but...
Go home. I'm tired.
Don't make mistakes like you did tonight.
Our lives are at stake.
(Choi Byung Tae)
(Kang Ho Rim)
I'm sorry, honey. It's my fault, honey.
What is it, Chief Kang?
Yes. What?
You fool.
Okay.
What on earth is he doing?
Honey.
I'm home.
Is she asleep?
What an appetite.
What woman leaves food on her face when she eats?
Someone's dad is a count,
and someone's dad died away from home.
- You're back? - Yes.
Come on.
It's spicy, but nice and light.
This is what it should taste like.
This is why you must eat at home.
Restaurants use too much MSG.
Home food is the best.
Were you really at work?
Will you stop?
You don't have to yell.
Chief Kang, you did great tonight. You're the best.
Who is it?
Oh, your branch manager.
- Do you have that much work? - You bet I do.
Honey.
What?
Stick with it for just three years.
I'll become a drama scriptwriter and earn a fortune.
I'd love that to be true.
It will be true, I promise.
I'm the next Kim Eun Sook.
The third Kim Eun Sook's in that room.
Just wait, and you'll get a windfall.
Look at this.
She's a genius like me.
"The Night's Heart"?
"The Night's Heart".
The prickly night.
You're too prickly.
Now, the night wants to be different.
It takes off its coat.
But you are too rigid.
But when the night takes off its coat,
it shows its smooth and pretty heart.
She said the night is prickly.
Aren't you impressed by her choice of words?
She has style.
Doesn't she?
Shouldn't she be the writer?
That's what I think.
I have to work hard to polish my genius,
but she's just a natural.
- Unbelievable. - What's unbelievable?
Finish your food. You're done? That's incredible.
Do you want some water?
They are such scumbags.
They saw it, and didn't tell me.
Locate a gukbap restaurant nearby.
Sure.
Turn left, and go under the bridge.
Yes.
It looks like I'm about to lose.
Oh dear.
(You've got mail.)
(Download)
(Play)
Yes!
Sir, I'll clock off then.
You're going home?
What do you think you did all day?
See you.
"See you"? What does she take me for?
Sayonara. Bye.
(Collect)
Select the locker, and input the code.
The bill for locker seven was paid.
Locker seven is open.
Please collect your items.
Let's see.
Nice one.
Why do I pay her?
It's a total waste of money.
(Key storage)
Hi. I'd like you to find out about something.
Is any one of you in Bodoantia at the moment?
I need you to find a person.
You'll have a meal here?
Wait in the car.
(Babawoo Restaurant)
Ask for more if it isn't enough.
I'll give you more rice.
Dal Goo, eat a lot.
Well... I...
I can't finish this.
- You have to help me. - I'm all right.
I had enough for lunch a while ago.
Never mind.
I'm rich.
Yes, I...
I have a lot of money. I'm incredibly rich.
We don't need to...
share a bowl of soup to fill ourselves up anymore.
We don't need to do that anymore.
I can buy you everything they serve here.
Just tell me, and I'll buy everything you want to eat.
Then...
I want to have boiled meat.
Boiled meat?
Ma'am, could you give me one serving...
No, two servings of boiled meat?
You eat a lot alone.
Without any drinks too.
Eun Bi, make sure you finish all of this.
Wow, it's bulgogi.
Thanks for the meal.
Come on now.
People might think I don't make you breakfast if they hear you.
It's delicious. Your bulgogi is the best.
I love it too.
Eun Bi, eat mine up too.
Can you give her a ride today?
Why?
Okay, good luck today.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
Meat. Let's have meat.
What is this?
Honey!
Honey, what is this?
New bag and shoes? What are these?
Honey, stop. It's nothing.
They're from expensive brands. Are you insane?
It's one of my investors' belongings.
He asked me to keep them for a while so his wife won't find it out.
Are you telling me to believe that?
Ho Rim.
I told you not to buy fake stuff.
- What? - I told you not to buy fakes.
You told me fake watches get damp easily.
This one is different.
Don't lie. All fake ones go damp.
No, it's high-quality, so no one will find out.
- And it won't get damp either. - Goodness.
Don't ever buy fake ones ever again, okay?
Why do you keep buying fakes when you deserve so much more?
I'll become successful...
and make you buy expensive clothes all you want.
Just wait. Okay?
Okay, I'm sorry. I won't buy them from now on.
Gosh, this is really upsetting. Return them all.
All right, shall I start writing now?
We've been getting constant calls from Hanabi Company from Japan.
You're all aware, right?
I'll convince them over, so don't worry.
Will they invest on us though?
Daesung is pulling back as well.
It's probably because they're concerned about China.
It's not like we're able of solving political issues.
Speaking of which,
why don't we just give up on it?
The estimated production cost is already 30 million dollars.
It may go up once we start the production.
No, we can't give up on it.
I planned everything for the project...
from writing a plan to casting a writer...
from the very beginning.
It took me five years.
The scripts for 10 episodes are well written.
We're almost there.
I can never give up.
I know this project is like a child to you.
I know, but there's no way.
I'll get the investment.
(Sinnara Savings Bank)
Ji Young.
You can't visit our bank whenever you please anymore.
- They might be mistaken. - What do you mean?
There are so many eyes watching us.
It's the drama JJ Entertainment is producing.
Invest in this no matter what.
- Okay, I'll look into this. - Ho Rim.
The investment money is...
deposited in the bank, and I can't make a decision on that.
Goodness. Why are you rushing so much?
Because I'm running out of time.
I have to follow my dad after three weeks.
That's what I'm saying. You'll be leaving Korea after three weeks.
Why make it so complicated?
Just ask your dad to invest in it.
Do I look like a snob who takes money from her dad?
After we met in five years?
I mean...
I just thought you were making things difficult.
Forget it. Just look into the plan.
I've been having this suspicious feeling about those two.
No way.
They should be over now even if they were in a relationship in the past.
His rich father-in-law showed up after all.
You're such a naive woman.
What?
A relationship isn't just about the money.
It's something that not even a ghost can predict.
That's what I'm saying. You'll be leaving Korea after three weeks.
Why make it so complicated?
Just ask your dad to invest in it.
It's me. Can we meet?
What is it that you want to know?
When I leave for Bodoantia after three weeks,
what will happen to me next?
Tell me exactly what you want to know.
Can...
I continue to be his daughter?
Of course.
We've finished fabricating the DNA test already.
So unless you make a mistake,
you'll be able to live as the count's daughter.
Father, hello.
Do you have time this afternoon?
Are you asking me out on a date?
If that's how you want to put it.
I'll go pick you up.
All right.
- Where shall we go? - What?
How about we go see your mom?
It's your mother's death anniversary today.
Let's go to where your mom is.
And where is that?
Thank you, Father.
I didn't tell you on purpose just in case you'd be burdened.
