And until "My Father is Strange",
the reputation continues on.
This time, "My Golden Life" became...
the national drama after reaching...
a rating of up to 41.2 percent.
("My Golden Life" became the national drama.)
Many ladies would walk in during the shooting...
and call me, "Do Kyung."
They want to shake hands and hold my hand.
That happens quite often now.
When I go to a restaurant,
I get a lot of free food.
When they see me shooting,
they'd say, "Good luck, Ji An."
"Ji An's here."
"Let me see your face, Ji An."
Or they'd say, "You're so tall, Ji An."
In a spa in Seoul, on the 23rd of December.
There's barely anyone in front of the TV.
(A moment later...)
People started gathering in front of the TV...
as if they've promised beforehand.
They gathered to watch "My Golden Life" live.
(To watch "My Golden Life" live)
Regardless of their gender and age,
they're hooked on "My Golden Life".
(People are hooked on "My Golden Life".)
Is it that good?
I watch it with my family.
My children like it too, so we watch it together.
I think the story is pretty interesting too.
I like Do Kyung.
I hope he marries Ji An,
but I don't think that's going to happen.
I support them. It's really good.
(She's still watching TV even during the interview.)
- Thank you. - Yes.
(She doesn't want to miss a moment of the show.)
One cafe in Seoul.
The fans in their 20s...
are watching it live on their cell phones.
It's so good. I must watch it live.
Related news come up so fast these days.
My friends watch it, so I just watch it too.
The KBS Weekend drama "My Golden Life"...
painted the entire country gold.

Please stay tuned for My Golden Life's...
End of the Year Special Part two until the end.
The first episode revealed...
the secret behind the main character's birth.
(The secret was already out in the first episode.)
The story developed quickly without slowing down.
My Golden Life draws in the viewers completely.
Among other characters' stories,
Ji An's story was especially the fastest to change.
In the first episode, she's a mere temporary employee.
She does everything to become a regular employee.
Do you want to stay here that badly?
What choice do I have?
My life is in their hands.
You know what I mean, don't you?
However, Ji An is fired in the second episode.
Her life on a roller coaster begins.
(The next day,)
(she starts working at the fried chicken restaurant.)
She became a part-timer at a chicken restaurant,
but she loses her job within the day.
I'm a shopper from Hemilia, Jung Hye Mi.
To pay back the money from the car accident,
she works as an interpreter in the third episode.
(3rd episode, part-time interpreter)
(Nara Department Store)
She's jobless again,
so Ji An struggles to get another job.
Hi, I'm calling for the part-time job you have posted.
And she tries to save money...
by eating meals at convenience stores.
Here you go, ma'am.
I came with my daughter, so I didn't get the valet.
Load them in my car, and wait.
I'll be down after I go to the restroom.
Yes, ma'am.
(Episode four, Ji An is working from job to job.)
Ji An loses her job again at the department store...
because of an abusive customer.
She's here.
She's a rich family's daughter in the seventh episode.
(Episode seven)
(Ji An becomes a daughter of a rich family.)
Have you been well?
I'm your mother. Don't be so distant.
I didn't know your taste. So I decorated to my taste.
(Her status goes up overnight.)
Yes, I love it.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
(Ji An is dazed.)
Ji An can't get her head around the change yet.
Don't bow down to the hired help.
Pardon?
They get paid for their work. This is their job.
Only thank people when they help you.
You should've said, "Well done."
I see.
In the 10th episode,
Ji An finally becomes a regular worker.
She gave vicarious satisfactions to the viewers.
Hello.
I'm newly appointed to Haesung Apparel's...
Marketing Team as a regular employee.
My name is Seo Ji An.
However...
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
You are not my daughter?
Are you sure?
Did you know?
Ms. Min!
Get this girl out of this house!
After the secret behind the switch is revealed,
Ji An is kicked out of the rich family.
Every episode consists of dramatic events.
Viewers can't take their eyes off for even a second.
Ji An resurfaces again at the laver farm.
It shocked many viewers.
After Ji An comes back to Seoul,
she becomes a carpenter and is encouraged to live.
Your design is very unique.
You'd be perfect as a furniture designer.
Sorry?
You have a knack for coming up with designs.
Her life is unpredictable and full of ups and downs.
What awaits in Ji An's future?
(Keys to its popularity analyzed by Big Data)
According to Big Data,
the second key to its popularity...
is the performance of amazing actors.
(Chon Ho Jin, touching, fun, acting, Shin Hae Sun)
When I filmed our drama, My Golden Life,
I am moved and touched by the senior actors.
Most of all, I learned a lot from them.
Out of everyone, the father and the daughter.
I envy the chemistry...
between Mr. Chon and Ms. Shin.
Let's watch the scenes of the father and daughter.
Sit. Take a seat.
Ji An.
(Chon Ho Jin is the best actor in name and reality.)
You must not go to them.
(Shin Hae Sun's acting is solid as well.)
Sorry?
You...
You don't really want to go there, do you?
I want to go.
What... What did you say?
I am also...
sorry to you, Mom,
Ji Soo, Ji Ho, and Ji Tae.
But I want to go.
You... You want to go?
It's not because you have to go,
but you want to go?
Why?
Why... Why do you want to go?
I get that you had a hard life.
But do you really want to leave us so easily?
Yes.
I want to go to them.
My life has been hard enough.
I wanted to die every day. My effort isn't enough.
If this is about your job, I can...
Why are you telling me not to go?
Why do you not want me to go?
Why can't I have rich parents?
My real parents are rich.
Why can't I go to my rich parents?
No.
Why did you take me in the first place?
I'm sorry.
Chon Ho Jin radiates his matchless presence...
with just a facial expression.
(The viewers could sympathize to the crying scene.)
Everyone could sympathize.
Shin Hae Sun's performance stood out from this scene.
Ji An...
had a tough time alone.
She wanted them to forgive her parents.
That was her plan.
But I guess it didn't work out.
His whole body expresses his love for his daughter.
When she gets herself together,
I'm certain she'll call me.
She has nowhere else to go.
Exactly.
That's exactly what I mean.
When she finds out that I came to you,
she might not like that too. So...
can you keep calling her for me?
When you reach her,
tell her to come home.
No, no.
Just tell her...
to give me a call. Just one call.
It wouldn't be easy for her to call us.
Okay, I will.
I'm sorry, and I know I'm asking for too much.
But please do that for me.
I will make sure to give you a call.
Okay. Thank you.
Please call her for me.
Hello.
Tae Soo.
Seok... Seok Doo...
What... What's up with you?
It's too tough for me.
I feel too miserable.
I am too anxious.
Seok Doo.
How could she do this?
How could she...
be completely out of reach?
I heard from my wife.
Has Ji An not called yet?
No.
I don't even know if she's dead or alive.
(He made us all cry.)
His desperate fatherly love...
made us all cry.
You want to tell them yourself?
Why? Are you mad? Are you out of your mind?
Why would I let you do that?
You wouldn't have known either if I didn't tell you.
However, I came to know it.
I know about it,
but you want me to keep it a secret from my parents?
Even if your parents find out about it now,
they can't do anything to my parents.
What?
We got nothing.
They could take their wealth...
and make them lose their job.
If my parents had something to lose,
I would let them go through that for what they did.
But...
humiliation is all they will get.
Mom did this,
and Dad couldn't stop me.
(The daughter thinks dearly of her parents.)
But do you know what I told my Dad?
I crushed him to come here.
I can't let my father...
get any more humiliated.
Hey.
Are you worrying about your parents?
Your parents will be less upset if I tell them.
I will tell them and beg for forgiveness.
So why do I have to do that?
Please think about why I have to do that.
I am so sorry.
How could he ignore her?
When I was crying while thinking about my dad,
I just had to look at Ho Jin.
Staring at him was all it took...
to get immersed into that emotion.
Even when I didn't have to cry,
I felt emotional whenever I saw him.
Well, that's what happened.
The best scene of Ji An and her father...
was this scene.
There was no line, and nobody shed tears.
But they talked to each other through their eyes.
This is the scene of Ji An and Tae Soo's reunion.
The way they spoke to each other through their eyes...
surprised everyone.
The father and the daughter both acted amazingly.
Ji... Ji An.
You... You were alive.
You were fine.
Let's go home first.
- Let's go home and... - I won't go home.
I don't want to go home.
What?
I want to be alone. I like being like this.
What do you mean by not going home?
I think I am old enough to be alone.
But we are family, aren't we?
You should give us a chance to make it up to you.
Why should I?
Must we work it out...
just because we're family?
Why is that?
Must families live together...
even when it's not easy to do so?
But you need to give us a chance.
You need to give us a chance.
I want to be alone without family now.
I am sorry.
Please leave me alone for a while.
Will... Will you at least answer my calls?
I don't use a cell phone now.
(Their acting makes us immerse into the story.)
Every week, people praise their incredible acting.
It's what makes us immerse into the story.
But there's another reason...
why they act so well together.
Ho Jin looks very similar to my father.
Their appearances are very similar.
They're not the friendliest fathers.
They give off this similar aura.
I got goosebumps while watching the scene.
I used to watch it at home.
While I was watching that scene,
I realized how lucky I am...
to be acting with such great actors...
in the drama. That's how I felt.
The seasoned actors' acting adds up to the popularity.
Don't kneel down.
Sit there.
I just said it.
I must've been mad..
Was your daughter Ji An so precious?
(Young Hee's got the charisma.)
Is that why you made my daughter be as lowly as you...
and sent your daughter here?
(Hye Ok expresses emotions delicately.)
Please kill me, ma'am.
Why would I kill you?
Killing isn't good enough.
I will kill your daughter.
Seo Ji An.
Ma'am.
Your precious daughter...
won't be able to get a decent job for her entire life.
I will make her live like you.
Watch her until you die. Watch how she lives.
Ji An...
Ji An was fooled by me too.
I will turn myself in and get punished for what I did.
Please leave Ji An alone.
I am sorry for what I did. I beg you.
Don't you dare quit running that restaurant.
I will destroy Ji Tae, Soo A, and Ji Ho...
and make them live the rest of their lives in the dark.
See how it feels...
to live off your daughter.
Feed her with that money too.
Ms. Min.
Take her out.
Their acting makes you even forget to breathe.
Aren't they amazing?
I am the vice chairman of Haesung Corporation.
Are you the man who tried to sell his daughter?
Are you the man who took my daughter away twice?
- Sir. - Don't kneel down.
What's the point of apologizing after being caught?
I buried my daughter in my heart.
She was always buried there.
And my dead daughter came back.
And it turns out she's not my daughter after all.
Was there nothing better to do? How could you do that?
How could you call yourself a human?
I have nothing to say.
I can't even apologize. That's how sorry I am.
Stop saying what you don't mean.
Did you think you could keep it a secret forever?
Is that why you took the restaurant?
They are the best.
And this is why we can't wait to see their acting.
(My Golden Life)
(The Best 3 Ending Scenes)
People say the ending scenes of My Golden Life is...
surprising, happy, powerful,
crazy, heart-pounding, and thrilling.
Everyone has something to say about it.
I think this is because every ending scene...
is shocking and evokes curiosity.
What was the most shocking ending scene you remember?
(The first shocking ending scene!)
The first shocking ending scene.
Ji An figures out that she's not Eun Seok,
and she visits her old home to confirm her suspicions.
(Ji An figures out that she's not Eun Seok.)
("The Daughter of Haesung Corporation Goes Missing")
She confirms that Ji Soo looked the same...
as Eun Seok when she went missing.
(She compares Ji Soo and Eun Seok's photos.)
So you are...
the real Ji Soo.
You are...
my dead sister.
(She finally finds out the truth about their birth.)
Ji An, you shouldn't go to that house.
Finally,
Ji An finds out all the secrets about her birth.
(This ending scene shocked everyone.)
This ending scene shocked everyone.
While I was shooting that scene,
even though I was acting, I was shocked.
The second shocking ending scene.
(The second shocking ending scene!)
It's the scene where Ji An meets Ji Soo...
for the first time after she finds out the truth.
(They meet after finding out about the truth.)
Ji Soo feels betrayed by Ji An...
and resents her.
Feeling sorry, Ji An carefully approaches Ji Soo.
Ji Soo.
Ji Soo, who was always cheerful and energetic...
changed in this scene.
(This scene foreshadowed their conflict.)
This scene foreshadowed their conflict...
and heightened the tension.
The worst thing is to apologize after hitting someone.
So I didn't want to repeat it.
I practiced by slapping a doll and stuff like that.
Ji Soo has thin, slender hands.
So I didn't expect it to hurt so much.
But when she hit me,
I was shocked. I was genuinely surprised.
Thanks to her, my acting looked very natural.
When I was getting slapped by Ji Soo,
there were two other people getting hit that day.
Tae Soo was getting slapped by Jae Sung.
(Tae Soo got hit by Jae Sung.)
Do Kyung got slapped by Myung Hee.
I was going to tell you.
(Do Kyung got slapped by Myung Hee.)
And Ji An got slapped by Ji Soo.
Three scenes involved hitting each other that day.
So we were competing who hits better.
She was all nervous before the shoot.
But when the shoot began,
she slapped me so good...
that we didn't have to do it again.
The third shocking ending scene.
To find Ji An, who's gone missing,
Hyuk goes to a laver farm in a fishing village.
He finds someone who looks like Ji An there.
(Hyuk approaches someone in the fishing village.)
Everyone was nervous...
by thinking that it could be Ji An.
Ji An's face slowly appears.
(It was Ji An.)
Ji An disappeared without a trace...
and news about her were unheard.
But she was found at the laver farm.
This ending was a shock to everyone.
(Keys to its popularity analyzed by Big Data)
According to Big Data,
the third key to its popularity...
(The secret behind My Golden Life's popularity)
is the unpredictable romance between three couples.
I am a very lacking father to my children,
But I do hope my two daughters, who I dearly love,
will meet the love of their lives...
and live a happy life.
I hope you will cheer on for the love...
of my lovely daughters, Ji An and Ji Soo.
Cheers, Ji An, Ji Soo.
Choi Do Kyung and Seo Ji An...
go through a tough path.
(This is how they first met.)
They first met as an assailant and a victim.
(Assailant Seo Ji An vs. Victim Choi Do Kyung)
You drove violently and caused the accident.
Let's check the black box at the police station.
What is it?
This.
- What's that? - This is what I came here for.
Check it.
What is this?
- What's this? - It's 20,700 dollars.
How can I accept this money?
(They keep arguing with each other.)
Hey.
I am begging you.
Let's never meet again.
(Their relationship started in a bad way.)
They thought they would never see each other again.
(However, they meet again?!)
Their story begins now.
Did you two know each other?
Ms. Min.
I heard you're picking up Eun Seok.
(Eun Seok?)
(They became siblings.)
It's nice to meet you. I am Do Kyung, your brother.
Everything is new to Ji An.
Ji An.
Do Kyung finds her trying to escape the house.
Are you fearless or thoughtless?
Here.
(It's the wooden doll precious to Ji An.)
It's Ji Soo.
Where did you get this?
Isn't that what made you climb the wall at this hour?
By the way, why is my sister so rude?
What?
Just look at yourself.
I found you something precious to you.
Thank you for finding it for me.
Talk to me when things get tough.
I won't take whining. Only when it gets really tough.
(Do Kyung wants to help Ji An.)
Call me as your brother when you're ready.
Until then, you don't have to address me.
It's the day of their first date.
(Do Kyung decides to go on a date with his sister.)
At that moment...
(A pickpocket steals Ji An's necklace.)
What? Wait. Wait, my necklace!
Hey, that's expensive. Gosh.
Thief! Thief!
Eun Seok!
- Do Kyung! - I'm here!
It was a dangerous situation for Ji An.
Do Kyung saves Ji An.
(Do Kyung saves Ji An.)
Hurry.
This way.
The crisis helped the siblings...
to get closer.
You can't get far.
But it makes things tougher for Ji An.
Did I surprise you? Here.
(They were getting closer.)
How can you push your brother?
No.
(But!)
- What? - I am...
I am not Eun Seok.
Did you get drunk after drinking just one can?
I am...
(Ji An confesses the shocking truth.)
I am not your sister.
I am Seo Ji An.
What?
The real Eun Seok...
is my former sister, Ji Soo.
Have a seat.
You said you wanted me...
to keep the secret until your brother's wedding, right?
Yes.
Fine.
But under one condition.
Condition?
Finish the 40th anniversary event of Haesung Apparel.
Pardon?
I said you should also take charge of the finale.
I can't fool your parents until then.
Then tell them today.
I'm going to tell them once the event is over.
So don't let them find out before that.
If the event ends successfully,
it means you did great work.
And since you've done good service for my family,
it will make up for that.
Okay.
I'll take one more.
Do Kyung helps Ji An without realizing himself.
(Do Kyung finds Ji An attractive before realizing it.)
He finds Ji An attractive...
for doing her best even in a difficult situation.
It's the same for Ji An.
Gosh.
Ji An's in danger during her business trip.
I should've told him the address.
What should I do now?
Then Do Kyung appears just in time.
Ji An.
Do Kyung?
Have you gone crazy?
How did you...
[VIU Ver] E02 My Golden Life Year End Special "Highlights Until Now" -= Ruo Xi =-
Ji An also slowly falls in love with Do Kyung.
Put it on.
Here.
Let me do it myself.
But they can't confess their love to each other.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Let's...
never meet again.
(Woodworking Studio)
Are you Gisaeng Cheon Gwan Nyeo?
And am I Kim Yu Sin?
I shouldn't be here now,
but why can't I stop myself?
Do Kyung can't possibly reach Ji An.
I got it.
Do Kyung has no choice but to watch Ji An...
from afar as she starts her new life.
When are you getting engaged?
We did it already.
(Ji An is swayed by Do Kyung's engagement.)
You drop your pen...
when I say that.
I don't want to marry someone I don't love.
Do Kyung breaks off his engagement and leaves home.
It's nice to be home.
Welcome.
He shows up in Ji An's share house.
(Do Kyung shows up in share house.)
What's going on?
You're living with Sunwoo Hyuk.
After I found that out, I couldn't do anything.
I'm here because I had to be where you two are.
That's the only reason.
So don't mind me.
You've gone insane.
It's possible for you to say that.
Stop it, and go back.
(Ji An cannot accept his love)
Then will you date me if I go back?
Do Kyung's love doesn't stop.
He prepares a birthday meal for Ji An.
(Do Kyung prepares a birthday meal for Ji An.)
What's this? What happened?
Do Kyung even prepared a birthday gift for her.
You said you wouldn't do anything.
That you couldn't, that you wouldn't bother me.
But it's your birthday.
What does that have to do with you?
Can't you just accept it?
Do you think I will?
Don't be mean. I bought it already.
Please stop it. Just go back.
You aren't meant to live like this.
I decide how I live now.
Why are you so bothered?
It's my choice. You shouldn't care.
You make me care.
You make me care, and it's annoying.
You're driving me crazy.
That...
sounds like you're saying you like me.
Yes.
- What? - That's right.
(Ji An cannot hide her feelings anymore.)
Don't you know already that I like you?
Ji An.
I like you. I do like you.
Ji An.
So how can I not bother, you foolish idiot?
(Two people are walking on a thorny path of love.)
Two people are walking on a thorny path of love.
Will their love be accomplished?
I'm worried about Do Kyung and Ji An.
They have many obstacles to overcome.
(Do Kyung and Ji An have many obstacles to overcome.)
And they have to persuade their families.
Never mind. Even I don't know what's going to happen.
I wonder if their love can be accomplished.
I'm curious too.
I'd like to suggest this to Do Kyung,
who's still walking the thorny path of love.
Fold 1,000 paper cranes.
Kang Nam Goo just started walking the flowery path.
I wonder if his love will be accomplished too.
Because I haven't folded 1,000 paper cranes yet.
I should hurry up.
I'm going to sell it at my cafe.
The second love line is...
Then take a look.
(A customer visits early in the morning.)
There are so many types of bread.
(Nam Goo is surprised. Why is he hiding?)
Is there nobody here now?
My boss must be in the warehouse for the ingredients.
It seems like he has a story.
The first love couple, Kang Nam Goo and Sunwoo Hee.
Three pieces of hotteok please.
- Yes. - It's cold.
One university student came with her friends.
Then she kept coming back for hotteok for three days.
(Nam Goo meets a female university student.)
Thank you.
Then on the fourth day...
How old are you?
I'm 20.
Then you're younger than me.
Their first love was short but intense.
No one else...
ever smiled so brightly...
at someone like me.
So she's your first love.
No, she's not.
Then?
You say first love...
when you have a second love.
She's the only love I had.
(Hee is Nam Goo's only love.)
Sunwoo Hee divorced Cha Kyung Soo five years ago.
The reason is domestic violence.
(Nam Goo learns about Hee's secret past.)
I wished her happiness.
My gosh.
Hee can't approach Nam Goo.
But Nam Goo doesn't stop approaching her.
I beg you.
Not to come here?
Why are you folding the cranes here every day?
What's your intention?
You said wishes come true...
if you fold 1,000 cranes.
Do you even know how long ago that was?
When I was 21 and you were 22.
That was years ago.
For 18 years,
my wish never changed.
(The romantic Nam Goo wants his first love back)
Hee decides to move far away from Nam Goo.
Hee.
Drive, fast.
Hee, come back. Hee!
Is this the end of their love story?
The gentleman collapsed.
What?
Stop the car.
Nam Goo doesn't want to lose Hee.
If you don't leave now,
you can never leave.
I can't...
have...
children.
Forever.
(The reason she couldn't accept him)
You can't have kids.
Is that the reason you pushed me away?
Kids?
If kids were that important, I'd be married by now.
Would I be yearning for someone I couldn't have...
for this long?
Nam Goo.
At last, they realize their love for each other.
(At last, they realize their love for each other.)
We wish them all the best in the future.
(We wish them all the best in the future.)
They call it as "tsundere" in Japanese.
Sweet and emotional men are nice too,
but men who can be snarky sometimes...
and help others out in secret...
have a way of making...
women feel more grateful.
I think Nam Goo's a bit like that.
And the warmth hidden behind a gruff exterior?
Isn't that what moved the female viewers?
Actually, I thought of something to say.
After saying, "I'm 20,"
How old are you?
I'm 20.
After saying, "I'm 20,"
I wanted to say something else.
I should've said, "But people don't believe me."
I'm so upset that I didn't.
Well, I read some online comments...
that said, "Do glasses make you look 20?"
That's when I thought I should've said it.
- Do it now. - Now?
I'm 20, but people don't believe me.
(No one believes me)
I thought that there might be...
a lot of adorable but cringeworthy scenes.
So I talked about it with So Young, who plays Hee,
but our romance isn't the typical type...
of the younger generation.
We're closer to a middle-aged couple,
so we want to portray a powerful, cringeworthy romance.
That's what we're prepared to do.
The third love line is...
(And the third love line?)
Gosh, I've never seen him laugh like that.
Mr. Sun does know how to laugh.
He looks so handsome.
He must be in a good mood.
The sweet unrequited love...
between Sunwoo Hyuk and Seo Ji Soo.
They first met in a scene like that out of a movie.
These can't get wet.
I have to get these to him.
The romantic Ji Soo falls for the man...
who covers her with an umbrella.
(A man takes over the romantic Ji Soo.)
Time stopped to create a moment Ji Soo never forgot.
Take it.
Hey, wait.
That's when...
Ji Soo's unrequited love for Hyuk began.
She feels so small around the man...
who always ignores her.
For some reason, she always makes mistakes.
Hyuk remembers her as a clumsy, silly girl.
Good morning.
Hello, good...
(She tries to muster up her courage.)
At a crucial moment...
Okay.
Hello, good...
Hyuk ignores her completely.
What was that?
He saw me.
He definitely saw me.
Did he ignore me?
Then one day...
Wait.
Hyuk finds the recipe book Ji Soo left behind...
and sees her in a different light.
Hello.
Did you decide to wear your hair loose?
You look much better.
Oh, my hair?
My boyfriend told me to keep this style.
(Ji Soo tells an obvious lie.)
Yes... Yes.
I should get going now.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Didn't she say that on purpose?
At first, I thought she was a helpless stalker.
But she has a cute side.
(From stalker to cutie)
Is it still not done yet?
He looks out for Ji Soo without much of a show.
What's that?
Why did you make it? I was going to do it later.
It'll rain tonight.
Rain's bad for wood.
Sorry for being a nuisance.
Thank you.
Take care.
Goodbye.
He's so cool.
(He's so cool.)
Ji Soo even makes a sudden suggestion.
How old are you?
I'm 28.
Gosh. You're the same age as him.
Are you?
We could be neighborhood friends then.
(Ji Soo's heart is pounding.)
Her unrequited love took a step forward.
Neighborhood friends?
That's nice.
The two spend more time together as friends.
(They spend more time together.)
They keep each other company...
and steadily grow closer.
It's mine. No.
Why were you out in the cold?
Well, I was by the oven and felt too hot.
Eat these morning rolls for breakfast.
I'll put them in the back.
No, I'll...
Sorry. That must've hurt. I have a tough skull.
Wouldn't you call this pre-dating mode?
It's not your average cinema.
Yes. You can eat as you watch a movie.
(A date at the movies?)
Why?
I've always wanted to come here.
But everyone else here are couples on dates.
Your friend and you might've been misunderstood.
What?
It was a girl.
A female friend.
Oh, I see.
A female friend?
By the way, Ji Soo.
You speak comfortably now.
I guess I'm getting good at it.
But why isn't this working?
Is it not working? Let me see.
No, it's fine, I can manage.
- Let me do it. - It's fine.
Give it to me.
(Sudden chemistry)
They sense the chemistry between them.
Ji Soo's sweet unrequited romance.
Do you think it'll work out?
Hyuk...
I think he's halfway in love with me.
(They're halfway there?)
I loved him very much in secret for a while,
so I don't want it to end as an unrequited love.
(Ji Soo wants it to work out.)
That's a tough question. It's like asking...
if I like Mom or Dad.
(Ji An or Ji Soo?)
I would rather pick Do Kyung.
Ji An or Ji Soo? It's too hard.
(My Golden Life)
The fourth-best minute was this.
(Ji An berating Ha Jung)
But don't forget this wherever you go.
Everyone who knows you got a job through connections...
will laugh at you and despise you on the inside.
What?
They'll smile on the outside,
but despise you on the inside.
Why? Because you're a loser in real life.
You can say whatever you want.
(Ha Jung is still proud of stealing Ji An's job.)
Sure.
You'll enjoy your life.
You will have a better life than me forever.
You will, on the outside.
(Ji An berates Ha Jung.)
You...
I acknowledged you once, as a friend.
I'm better than you even without your acknowledgement.
If you showed off like that when you quit,
did you think you'd feel better?
No, you won't.
- You have no pride. - Hey.
If you get a job by pulling strings, live accordingly.
Don't be proud that your dad put you here.
Be ashamed. Be very ashamed.
Didn't this scene make you feel good too?
Goodbye.
The third-best minute.
(Breaking the car on purpose)
(Ji An's in trouble)
Do Kyung's grandfather might find out Ji An's identity.
The two decide to ruin Do Kyung's car.
I did it.
You did it?
After a lot of hard work, Ji An succeeds.
(After a lot of hard work, Ji An succeeds!)
Look.
You did it.
(Do Kyung begins to fall in love with Ji An)
The ending, where you see...
Do Kyung fall for Ji An, was a bonus.
(Do Kyung breaking his engagement)
The second-best minute...
was Do Kyung breaking his engagement.
In a life-or-death moment, Do Kyung sees he's in love.
(Do Kyung realizes he's in love with Ji An)
(He makes a huge decision)
He makes an important decision.
I'm home.
Did you not meet So Ra today?
Yes.
You talk to him.
So Ra's made up her mind.
She wants to get engaged. What do you think?
I will not get engaged to So Ra.
(He declares to break his engagement!)
And I won't marry her.
Do Kyung, do you know...
what you're saying now?
I'm really sorry to you both.
I don't want to marry someone I don't love.
This scene was voted by our female viewers...
as their favorite.
Then what was the best minute so far?
(So Ra's gift order)
So Ra, Do Kyung's fiancee...
places an order with Ji An for a gift.
Can you write names on the body here?
Of course. Give me your names.
Jang So...
(She orders her wedding gift through Ji An.)
Ra.
(Jang So Ra)
Choi Do Kyung.
(Ji An is shocked by the revelation.)
Choi Do Kyung.
It sounds like a girl's name, but he's a guy.
Why are you here?
(She puts on a brave face.)
To order lamps.
You're wasting your time.
(The atmosphere between them become intense.)
There's nothing between Do Kyung and me.
I never asked if there was.
Words are not the only way to communicate.
Sometimes, actions speak louder.
I'm here to order two lamps.
- Are you? - Isn't it obvious?
Why tear that up?
I placed an order.
How do you feel right now?
What?
What does it feel like to see me?
Do you feel small?
You do, right?
How do you feel right now?
I'm amused.
You feel small.
Why would I?
"Must I fret over someone like her?"
"She's not prettier than me,"
"not richer than me, or from a better family."
You couldn't stand not checking out the woman...
who's in no way better than you,
so you came all the way here to put on a show.
How would you look?
I wonder.
What?
Why did I come to see you?
Do Kyung will become mine anyway.
In a capitalistic society, to own is to win.
Own him.
Since you saw me, you needn't feel threatened.
I can't own his heart.
You know what I mean, don't you?
You can't own someone's heart just because you want to.
I don't think I can help you with that.
You pay for the food. You wanted to meet me.
Didn't this scene thrill you to the core?
The reason My Golden Life is so loved...
has to be because of the teamwork...
and great rapport between the actors and the crew.
Don't you want to see what it's like behind the scenes?
Follow me. Quickly.
The first episode aired on the second of September,
and we're up to episode 34 already.
It's been a long race.
- Let's get back to work. - Okay.
Get it sorted out.
The actors and crew spend a lot of time together...
and they're always full of laughter.
Ready. Cue.
Ji Soo is filming a scene.
A sudden emergency occurs.
- Sorry. - How strong are you?
You do it.
Is this the spot?
Whenever Ji Soo's around, the mood on set lightens.
(A light and cheerful mood)
She puts everyone in a good mood.
Whenever Ji Soo shows up,
the mood lightens and everyone feels the love.
She bounces up and down on the spot...
and makes cute sounds like... Sorry.
She makes cute sounds like that.
She's a sweet and innocent girl.
I think that's one of Ji Soo's charms.
That night.
(That night.)
The shooting continues despite the snowy weather.
Do Kyung's the center of this shot.
Thanks to the high ratings, shooting is always fun,
but there's one thing they can't escape.
The hardest part of the shooting?
It wasn't that bad,
It got cold lately.
When it got so cold,
I was out for shooting.
My eyes, neck,
lips, and ears froze. I couldn't even speak properly.
I had a runny nose and couldn't stop crying.
I hope I don't shoot on those days again.
The shooting went on until late at night.
The wind chill temperature dropped to minus 20°C.
- Turn it on if you need it. - Okay.
When you ask...
(An important scene is about to be filmed.)
- About this and... - Yes.
They must be shooting an important scene.
So now, Do Kyung's...
about to feel it.
(Not only the acting harmony...)
I like you. I do like you.
The directors and actors...
thoroughly check the acting and the lines together.
- He said it's good. - Up to here.
I'm looking forward to see the other great scene...
they're about to create.
1, 2, 3. Action.
The shooting finally begins.
How did the scene turn out to be?
- Cut. - Cut.
Okay.
It's the ending scene of episode 34.
Choi Do Kyung.
It's your birthday.
You make me care.
(Do Kyung's love doesn't stop.)
That sounds like you're saying you like me.
Yes.
(Ji An confesses her love.)
Don't you know already that I like you?
Ji An.
So how can I not bother, you foolish idiot?
They successfully finished shooting.
Good job.
- Good job. - Good job.
The golden fever...
will continue in 2018.
(The golden fever will continue in 2018!)
Your love helps us...
keep filming...
even on such cold days.
Please continue to love our drama,
and Happy New Year.
I hope next year would be a lucky year...
rather than an eventful year.
I hope you all stay healthy.
Happy New Year.
I hope you have a golden year next year.
Happy New Year.
I hope you have...
a golden life in the upcoming year.
Happy New Year.
