She scans the surroundings before racing down the hallway, looking back to make sure no one or nothing is following her. Either she must not care enough or in too much of a rush to stop as she loses a shoe on the stairwell and continues on barefoot.

Once outside, she lifts her bag over her face, finding the bright sunlight too harsh for her eyes. Cut to our hero, PARK TAE- KANG (Lee Jang- woo), who is currently being dragged by the ear by his father PARK KWANG- SEOK (Yoon Joo- sang). Dad presents his identification card and demands that his son be scratched out of the family register. But Tae- kang isn’t the type easily trifled with as he turns his as well, claiming that he wants to be taken out of this ajusshi’s registry.
Dad guffaws at the term and Tae- kang bites back that when it’s all settled they’ll be considered strangers anyway. Then he mimics defensive martial arts moves when Dad raises a hand to beat him. Omg, I love their relationship already. Needless to say the family register remains unchanged when they leave. Dad fumes and Tae- kang tosses, “Do they need your permission to change the rules?” which elicits another potential slapdown. Instead of avoiding it, he willingly offers his cheek.
To where, Child Protection Services? HA – you’re a grown man. Now we see the source of Dad’s anger as Tae- kang points to his shiny new ride, “Who would take off their one and only son from the family registry just because he bought a motorcycle?!” But that money came from Dad’s life savings; money that took three years of back- breaking work to accrue. Tae- kang defends that he put in his part too with his reimbursed college tuition like it was some big sacrifice.
Indeed, How to Get Away With Murder
Dad: “As if you had a choice!”Dad continues, “Even though the law couldn’t break us apart, my heart has already abandoned you.” Tae- kang fully relishes in Dad’s misery and Dad kicks the bike before storming off. He runs to check for any damages to his baby named – wait for it – Beyonce. HA! While taking Beyonce out for a joyride, a woman suddenly runs out and he swerves to avoid hitting her. They both end up on the ground but don’t sustain any serious injuries. Ji- an picks herself up and scoffs when Tae- kang points to his injured bike – shouldn’t a person’s injuries come first? Plus, what’s he doing driving in a pedestrian area?
He figures she’s fine and she barks how could he know – are his eyes an MRI? He points his finger back, accusing her for someone out for insurance money. She’s had enough already, and switching to banmal, Ji- an tells him that he should consider himself lucky for getting off so easy today.
There’s a traffic jam and Ji- an steps back towards Tae- kang, who’s crying over Beyonce’s injuries, figuring he might be her best shot to get to where she needs to be. He interprets her concern for spite until she offers to pay for the repairs in exchange for a ride. Tae- kang zips through the narrow streets as Ji- an holds on for dear life, screaming her head off at every turn. On the other end of town, a fashion show is busy preparing for their big show. Problem is, they’re missing their opening piece and the hostess berates the staff, digging in that this is the reason she doesn’t use “domestic” brands.
Jeez, what bit you this morning? Ji- an arrives in one piece, her eyes tightly shut (Tae- kang has to knock his helmet against hers as if to say gerroff lady). It takes her a minute to realize she’s survived and then hurries in to meet her staff who was just lectured at earlier. They stifle their laughter as they sign to the helmet still stuck on her head.
Ji- an doesn’t buy her staff’s excuses that all Westerners look alike to them and today’s model was different than at fitting. They shift the blame towards the Dragon Lady hostess about the circulating rumors and she even had a backup ready as if she was expecting them to fail. Telling them to stop spinning detective tales, she demands them to look for a solution. After one look at the shoe, the creative gears start churning, and soon she’s ripping fabric off of her staff’s skirt and calling out orders left and right. She gets to work, reconstructing an entirely different shoe design on the spot and the staff compliment that the end product was even better than the original. The bad news is that Dragon Lady Hostess has already lined up someone else. When the polite route fails, Ji- an declares that she’ll assume responsibility for the consequences.
But their company is expendable, Dragon Lady seethes. Ji- an clocks this in her head and then with a snap of her fingers, orders her staff to pull out and pack up every single pair of shoes in the place. It turns the place upside down into chaos. She’s completely unfazed at the hostess’ accusation that she’s out of her mind: “If you don’t have teeth, you eat with your gums. If you don’t have shoes, you walk barefoot. Isn’t that life?”Even at the threat of legal action, Ji- an coolly says it’s no problem – she doesn’t have a husband or kids so she’ll consider her time in jail like dorm life.
One minute to showtime and Ji- an challenges, “So what’ll it be? Should I take responsibility or should I go to jail?”The opening continues as planned and the newly designed shoe takes center stage. Ji- an sprints and slips in through the door we saw her exit in the beginning.
Whatever celebration she hoped to get back to is now being cleaned up by the staff. Turns out she missed her father’s 7. Meanwhile, Tae- kang waits downstairs and lays out his hand to collect his fare. At the door, she signals at him to hurry up, and he follows like a dutiful puppy.
Ji- an catches her parents just before they board the train. She apologizes to her father but he remains gruff and then projects his anger on reserved Mom.
She’s had enough of Dad’s behavior and raises her voice that she pulled out all the stops for him – she did her best.“You. Was that too much to ask? He cuts ties with her right there that she needn’t send them money anymore and she can forget about visiting home. Harsh words, Dad.
Calling her out on her workaholic lifestyle, he spits if she wants him to cut her out of their family register. It seems that she doesn’t want to be filial to her parents anyway. Ouch. It’s an interesting contrast from Tae- kang’s situation where the family register was played up for comedy but those same words cut deep for Ji- an though she doesn’t let on to her parents that they do.
Ji- an strolls the streets with a brave face as Tae- kang follows behind, having overheard the entire exchange. He gives her the space to collect herself and then hands her a tissue to blot her oncoming tears.
And then Ji- an notices something written on the tissue and opens it to find the total repair bill for Beyonce. HAHAHA – oh you ass, Tae- kang. He turns to leave once he receives the money, but looks back to tell her not to worry.
Her father won’t be able to write her off of the family tree – ’cause his father tried it on him. He rambles that the laws are so well- established to protect horrible sons and daughters nowadays.
The fact that he went through the trouble to go to the district office makes her burst into laughter. He’s affronted at first but soon they’re both laughing at the absurdity. And what better way to bond than over drinks as Tae- kang toasts to abandonment. If they switched families, she’d be considered the filial one because Dad is so obsessed about money. Ji- an sighs that she’s likely the only daughter in the world who would miss her father’s birthday. He probes her about her occupation, clearly finding it impossible that a simple office worker could throw such a large event. She turns the question on him, figuring him for a student.
She passively listens as he rants about he could’ve gone to college but was financially strapped because of the tuition (pfft) until she raises an eyebrow when he mentions he wants to start up a business. His evident lack of a concrete plan clearly amuses her and they pour each other another drink. Several bottles later, , Tae- kang offers Ji- an a word of advice that women should be babyish, full of aeygo, and be all cutesy instead of her curt attitude. She scoffs that she’s single because she chooses to be and adds that all guys are the same: immature, small- minded, and ignorant. I love that she says this while dangling a pepper between her fingers. The reference (pepper = gochu = slang for weenie) is so in your face.
Tae- kang has a moment of drunken insight as he comments that she must have been hurt a lot in the past. Ji- an pinches his cheek in response and tells him to run back to mommy. He whines that he doesn’t have one. The one he had ran off as soon as she gave birth to him so the mother he imagines are actresses who portray ideal maternal figures. Tae- kang responds to Ji- an’s look of concern that he’s had enough of that look of pity people shoot at him. He defends his mother that he understands that someone can grow tired of their child and run off to search for meaning in their own lives. He assures her that he’s totally fine.
She continues to knock him on the head as he tries to take her home. They’re both drunken messes but he’s sober enough to realize that the destination she instructs the cabbie will come out to a hefty bill. We presume she wants to face her parents and she admits as much, wanting to ask her parents what exactly she did wrong. As if on cue, it begins to rain, the rainfall blending with her tears. Tae- kang sits down and tells her that he may come across as a sensitive caring guy but he’s not.
