Episode 8
A fairy tale character may be pure, but we're not
Is this really funny?
I began to go out with Bae Sung Hyun.
I enjoyed this courtship.
I'll spit on your face, whore.
I was comfortable because my heart didn’t get excited.
♪ Come with me ♪
♪ You give your love ♪
♪ Change quickly, tonight ♪
♪ The lie of love ♪
♪ Is in yours ♪
♪ But will you left me, tomorrow ♪
I liked that there were no games.
Why don’t we like the same things?
Why don’t you know how I feel?
Why don’t you say you miss me?
Why don’t you love me as much as I love you?
I liked that I felt none of the miseries of being in love.
Because I didn’t love Sung Hyun, I felt comfortable with him.
But Sung Hyun felt differently.
Hey.
Were you waiting long?
When I was leaving, Maeda San was checking in.
Her daughter grew up so much.
Why didn’t you answer my call this morning?
Oh, did you call?
Do you get my texts?
Did I get your texts?
Oh no.
Nevermind.
I really didn’t see it.
I check my cellphone over a hundred times a day.
Because I don’t want to miss your text.
Okay, okay.
I’ll check over a hundred times too.
What did you do yesterday?
I was with friends.
Who?
Seo Yeon and Hyun Joo?
Yeah.
What did you do together?
We just ate and chat.
Now what?
Don’t you want to know anything about me?
What I did today, what I’m going to do tomorrow, who I’m friends with.
Aren’t you even curious?
I am curious. Of course I want to know.
What did you do yesterday?
I waited for your call all day.
It was my day off.
Why didn’t you call me?
Why do I always have to call first?
Don’t you ever miss me?
Why don’t you ever ask to meet first?
Do you really like me?
Of course.
Let’s meet on your next day off.
Is there a movie you want to see?
Should I make a reservation?
How are my clothes today?
It’s nice.
This is the outfit you said you liked when I was a concierge.
Ah, I thought I recognized the outfit.
No, you didn’t remember at all.
Ah.
Yeah, high-five.
Again, again.
They’re so childish.
And so?
That’s why I’m drawing two floor plans.
One facing east.
One facing south.
I want to explore all possibilities.
Wow, Alex. You’re the best.
Alex, you rules.
I am the best.
No your not.
Did you always laugh that hard?
Why are you laughing so much?
Don’t smile so easily at others.
Guys will think you’re a tease.
Wait.
You have something here.
Oh, I’m so messy.
I said not to laugh like that.
What’s wrong?
We’re just friends.
Don’t do this.
Don’t touch Sunwoo In Young’s face.
Talk about work in the office and not to Sun Woo In Young.
Play tennis by yourself and eat ramen by yourself.
Don’t talk about your problems, okay?
Why not?
We’re friends.
That’s why you shouldn’t do it.
In Young’s boyfriend really doesn’t like it, okay?
Motorcycle.
Where’s Motorcycle?
I didn’t dislike Sung Hyun like this.
But a part of me felt bad for him.
Oh, my little precious.
Seriously.
Did you wash your hands?
What are you doing?
Do you think that’ll make me less upset?
Sung Hyun reminded me of my younger self.
Wow, that looks pretty.
Oh, how’s this?
I like this.
Your eyeballs are about to fall out.
Hey.
Give me some tissue.
I don’t have any.
Give me a napkin.
What is this?
I’m so embarrassed.
What are you doing?
It’s just instinct.
This isn’t your first time. Why do you keep looking?
I said it’s instinct.
The ancient instinct of hunting for more.
Hunting?
Are women something to hunt?
Think women don’t have instincts?
What kind of instinct is that?
Women are constantly searching for a man who will build a better home.
Then just for an hour, let’s be free to explore our options.
Only look at me.
I said only look at me.
In whatever relationship, the person who loves more is more miserable.
At night, I thought of Kim Sung Soo.
I slept with him.
I also realized,
how close the word hate…
was to the word love.
And I realized how it felt to truly miss someone.
I realized how much it hurt to wish that I could see him even from a distance.
It’s Kim Sung Soo’s car.
Hey, Kim Sung Soo.
Why are you here?
Hey, Kim Sung Soo.
Kim Sung Soo’s car was parked in front of my house for an entire week.
Why on earth did he park his car in front of my house?
What is this supposed to mean?
Whatever the reason, I’ll never fall for Kim Sung Soo again.

I thought you’d be cold.
This is so nice, right?
Ah, it’s so nice to be here with you.
When I said it was so nice, I meant the night and the music.
Is this what love is?
Is it creating something out of growing misunderstandings?
Are we mistaking that something for love?
Let’s be together tonight.
Be with me tonight.
That car’s still here.
What’s up with him?
Does he come every day?
He was there yesterday, isn’t he busy?
Doesn’t he have movies to shoot?
I know you’re cheating but can’t you be considerate?
This isn’t a relay race.
Focus on me on days you’re with me.
If you keep this up, I’m really going to feel hurt.
How could I not focus on you?
I’m with you every day.
Pay attention to me at night too.
I’ll call you tomorrow.
Tell him that you’re spending the night.
That you’re not going home.
Wow, we’re totally having an affair.
Doesn’t this seem like an affair?
So why did you want to go out with someone who has an owner?
Owner?
Did you just say owner?
Don’t you have any freedom?
Is that bastard your owner?
Can you really talk to me like this?
I’m really going to feel hurt if you keep this up.
I’m a detailed guy.
I’m a sensitive man who gets easily hurt.
Just go quietly.
Damn.
What are you doing Bae Sung Hyun?
I have no reason not to spend the night with Bae Sung Hyun.
But…
I need strength to sleep with him.
Oh.
Alex.
Hey, In Young.
It’s Park Seo Yeon.
So nice.
What a work out.
Do you want to shower first or should I shower first?
You first. I want to sit down for a while.
Are you sure?
Yes.
What is this?
This strange mood?
How are you going to explain?
Did you sleep with him?
You did?
You slept with him, really?
That’s right. I slept with him.
Oh.
He’s my friend.
So what?
How? How did you sleep with him?
Because I wanted to.
But still.
You barely know anything about him.
Why would you sleep with him?
I can get to know him now that I’ve slept with him.
Do I have to know him before I sleep with him?
Tell me what happened so that I know what’s going on.
You made the first move, didn’t you?
Why would I say that?
You have to make the man come to you first.
Was it that day?
The day of the house concert?
It was that day.
Wasn’t it?
Hold on.
I forgot a book here.
Hey, Alex.
The wine is really good here.
Do you want to have a glass?
There’s a tree.
If I build it facing south, I have to chop down the tree.
Otherwise the form has to be built around the tree.
Oh.
But they don’t want the tree chopped down.
An hour later, we were in the hotel together.
But still.
I didn’t realize you’d be like this with just anyone.
Who’s just anyone?
A man you don’t even love.
And that’s why I won’t sleep with Bae Sung Hyun.
I sleep with men I don’t even like.
Are you okay with sleeping men you don’t like?
Does that satisfy you?
Yeah.
I’m satisfied in my own way.
I like that man for just that moment.
Sometimes I even end up liking him after.
So I don’t sleep with just anyone.
Do you think it’s that simple for Alex?
Do I have to be responsible for Alex’s feelings?
That’s Alex’s problem.
Seo Yeon.
He’s the kind of guy who falls hard for women.
Last time he broke up with his girlfriend, he threatened to jump off the building.
What is it you want to say?
He doesn’t easily give and take his heart.
Are you saying I’m wrong for him?
No, that’s not…
Yes, that’s what I mean.
Alex is my friend.
It’s none of your business.
Just mind your own matters.
Fine. I’ll mind my own matters.
That girl… just you wait and see how complicated things get.
If feelings are that simple, I’ll just go and fry my hand with pepper paste.
What the?
Why is that thing here?
He’s gone.
It’s been over a week since he’s come home.
I can’t reach him since he turned off his phone.
So what?
It’s been over a week.
What do you want me to do about it?
Do you know where he might have gone?
Is there anywhere he may have gone?
Do you think I would tell you if you were me?
Didn’t he go to you?
If he had come to me, were you planning to take him?
Everyone’s looking for him.
The studio’s worried and he’s missed a couple of meetings.
That’s right he came to me.
He came yesterday and the day before that.
So wait until he comes then take him away.
It’s been over a week since he came home.
Where on earth could he have gone?
Look at this mess.
It’s a mess unless I clean up after him.
Were you miserable too?
I’m satisfied.
My kicking skills is fucking awesome.
Director, it’s Kang Hee.
I’m not doing this because we slept together.
The studio’s worried.
Everyone’s going crazy looking for you.
I lost.
I said I lost.
I know it was wrong of me to come between the two of you.
I know how you feel now.
If you come back, I won’t cling onto you.
I’m a person who keeps my word.
What’s so great about being Kim Sung Soo?
In some ways, that girl might be more naive than I thought.
But I’m not that forgiving.
Did you come to protect his car?
You must not have anything better to do.
You’re a star. Aren’t you busy?
You should sleep at times like this.
How long was the car here?
How would I know?
Aren’t you worried?
You two were a couple after all.
Would you be worried if you were me?
Truth is, I’m hoping someone will break Kim Sung Soo’s leg.
He really didn’t come here?
He came. So just wait around.
I never open the door for him, but he’s always shouting for me to let him in.
Please take him with you.
He’s fucking annoying.
Around what time does he come?
How could a 23 year old like you follow around a man like this?
By the way, why is your boyfriend clinging to me like that?
He slept over last night.
He kept begging to let him in for just one night.
I’m not a noble and pure character in some fairy tale.
And I’m not a character in a melodrama full of those fucking crybabies.
I’m a character in reality.
The sun is so nice today.
I’m just asking this because I’m curious about you two.
Do you guys not have any morals?
He came over last night and asked to sleep with me one last time.
Are sluts like you always like that?
I’m being so cruel and ruthless right now.
No, I’m being evil.
Did he really come over last night?
I said he slept over.
The director’s not that low.
In this situation…
He’s already low.
Would a man who cheated be noble?
It was my fault.
That’s right. You’re just as low as him.
If you know it’s your fault, then self-reflect.
If this were a fight, I feel that Yoon Kang Hee just won.
We learn in fairy tales that the kind ones always win.
No one can deny kindness.
Everyone wants to be kind.
This girl wants me to feel bad for her.
Doesn’t she want to pee?
So unnatural.
It’s a relief that this is reality and not a fairy tale.
Because in reality, the cruel ones survive.
In Young.
I’m sorry for hurting you.
I’m not human.
Oh hell no.
Breaking news.
Director Kim Sung Soo, known for creating a new style of romantic comedy,
ended his life at the young age of 33.
Director Kim’s scandal with actress Yoon Kang Hee.
led to his unfortunate break-up with his girlfriend of 10 years Miss S.
It seems he was unable to get over the break-up and eventually committed suicide.
Sung Soo was so good to you.
Why couldn’t you forgive him?
Are you so great? Did you never make a mistake?
Do you feel better now?
You should have been good to him.
If you had, this wouldn’t have happened.
Fucking skank.
You stupid bitch.
Bring back the director.
Stop crying.
What are we going to do about this?
I don't give a damn.
It’s me. In Young.
Why did you park the car in front of my place?
Hey. I’m going to have your car towed away.
Why do you have it parked in front of my place?
I can’t date because of your car.
I have a guy I want to bring home.
Take your car right now.
Here, here.
Here.
Have some.
I told you it had to be sticky to the touch.
Can’t you get the texture right?
Not even a woman with all the seasoning in the world could get it right.
You would never be satisfied.
Nevermind if you don’t want it.
Why can’t you get it right?
After 50 years, you still don’t know your husband’s preferences?
Why do you want me to do the cooking?
You should ask the village floozy to do it.
That’s all you have to say, right?
30 years of your lecturing.
That was so long ago.
You said she was good at making soo jae bi.
Eat what she makes.
Oh, she won’t just cook what you like.
She’ll do anything you want.
Aye coochie.
Make it again.
Here. Have some while you eat.
Thank you.
Don’t cheat if you get married.
That’s the only way your wife will respect you.
Aye.
Don’t get caught.
Just don’t.
Why won’t you eat?
Seo Yeon won’t answer her phone.
I called her yesterday, but she said she was busy and hung up.
What do I do In Young?
Park Seo Yeon you cruel bitch.
I knew this would happen.
Alex, at times like this, you can’t cling onto Seo Yeon.
Clingy guys are not cute.
So fresh.
Let’s go.
Sure. Let’s go.
Hey, Miss Seo Yeon.
Aren’t you taking this?
No, I’m not.
I can’t do it alone. Let’s carry it together.
I don’t want to.
I came as a model.
Ah, I almost forgot.
You’re the type of woman who makes men hold your bags.
Say that again Seo Joon Yi.
Why am I wrong?
I saw a man hold your purse last fall.
The guy with the curly hair and glasses. He held your bag.
I make men hold my bags during dates, but not during work.
Then why?
I said say it again.
That’s your luggage.
You should ask me to help you politely.
Where did you learn to just hang it on a person’s arm?
Can’t you just help me?
There are 4 arms and a lot to carry.
It’s not my stuff, so I don’t need to carry it.
I have a lot to carry today, so just help me.
Can you please help me?
I have a lot to carry today.
Can you please help me?
Okay.
You should have asked that way from the beginning.
Let’s go forward.
Very good.
A little closer.
Nice.
Do you need to shoot more?
Yes, keep running.
I’m going to adjust the exposure to capture the movement, so keep running.
Ah.
Keep running Seo Yeon.
Seo Yeon, are you tired.
Should we take a break?
No, I’m fine.
Then why do you keep limping?
Are you already tired?
I said I’m not tired.
I said I’m going to run.
It’s okay if you splash some water.
So keep running.
Why the pharmacy?
What do you need to buy?
Contraceptive pills.
Why are you so curious?
Next time, make a reservation at a motel so that I can at least take a shower and change.
And do you know how much this dress costs?
It’s over a thousand dollars.
If you had told me about the concept sooner, I would have brought a cheaper dress.
Give it to me.
Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?
If I had, you would have called me weak.
You’re really hurt.
Do you have to go to a hospital?
If I go to Seoul, I have to get stuff done.
Ah!
Be gentle.
Don’t make it personal and be gentle.
How did you get hurt?
A glass shard.
There’s broken glass and shells all over the beach.
Didn’t you notice?
What are you going to do with your eyes?
I got really mad at you today.
Meanwhile, Kang Hyun Joo played ping pong every night.
♪ I shouldn't buy shoes at Payless ♪
♪ You pay less, you get less ♪
Why does he have to sing a song like that?
I really don’t like trot music.
If Kim Duk Soo is a toothbrush, he’s a useful one.
When you buy something useful, do you care about beauty or form?
Shit.
How does Park Seo Yeon seduce men?
Like this?
Would a man fall for this?
Do you have something to say to me?
There’s a nice restaurant around the corner.
Should we sleep together?
Nevermind, nevermind.
I must be tired.
Let’s go to eat.
Give me some food.
Yes.
Enjoy your meal.
Do you know the owners?
No.
It’s just that they work in the same neighborhood.
People probably think you work here.
Who cares what they think.
It’s fine.
Oh.
I bought that book.
I want to read it.
Really?
You should start by reading the two novels.
then you should read ‘The Critique of Judgement’ last.
I was about to do that anyway.
How could I sleep with such a dirty man?
Do you think he even showers properly?
You should have gone for drinks. Why did you go eat?
You have a problem Kang Hyun Joo.
Don’t tell me it’s my problem.
This is totally his problem.
You said you wanted to touch him.
You said you liked his arms.
You said you get excited at the sound of his breathing.
You’re finding excuses not to sleep with him because you’re scared.
They’re not excuses.
I want it too.
A virgin at this age?
I don’t want that label.
I want to get rid of it too.
No. You’re scared.
You’ll keep holding it off with different excuses.
Drink a little alcohol.
It might help your cause.
He might look better if you’re drunk.
No, that’ll never work with Kang Hyun Joo.
She’ll lay on the bed thinking if there’s a praying mantis.
She’ll think about the shape of his belly button or be bothered by the smell of his breath.
She’ll find enough reasons to stay a virgin.
She’ll be one until she’s 40.
You think so too, right?
You’re determined to be chaste.
She’s better than you.
No, Seo Yeon’s right.
I think I am like that.
Everyone goes through trial and error in life.
It’s true for men too.
You have to make mistakes in order to mature.
Is that why you and Alex…
Did it?
What about Alex?
What?
We had sex.
Why?
How could you so quickly?
How did you do it?
Lee Hyori once said, “Just give me 10 minutes.”
I just need to die.
My first time wasn’t easy either.
It was my first time after all.
I thought I’d keep loving him and we would get married.
But when I was about to break up with him.
I started to get scared.
What if I meet someone I really love, and he finds out I’m not a virgin?
You were naive back then Park Seo Yeon.
Your second guy was a mama’s boy, right?
Baek Young Suk?
Yeah.
After I broke up with my second guy, the world seemed so scary.
I was 21 then.
That’s when I realized how many men I would sleep with before I settled down.
That thief was your third, right?
The guy who stole your mother’s jewelry in the middle of the night.
Do you remember other women’s men?
At least 10.
That’s right
Why didn’t you repay me your debt?
You slept at my place for 2 months when your mom kicked you out.
You even used my allowance.
That’s not important.
After I broke up with my third, my fourth and fifth were nothing.
After that, I don’t remember any of them. They don’t mean anything.
Then what does have meaning?
I began to feel comfortable.
How should I put it?
I guess I realized that love doesn’t last forever.
No matter how much two people love each other.
Their hearts will change.
Nothing never changes.
I suddenly felt lonely.
Seo Yeon is right.
Nothing never changes.
Because both Kim Sung Soo and I have changed.
So you.
Close your eyes and sleep with a guy who cleans his teeth with tissue paper.
It’s better than not cleaning his teeth.
If you think about it.
Don’t you think In Young is really lucky?
The first guy she gets, she dates for ten years.
If he didn’t make that mistake, they would have gotten married.
Sung Soo’s talented, romantic, and a gentlemen.
What more could you want?
The person I envy most is you.
She and Sung Soo are over.
I heard that you cried to Alex about it.
It’s over, right?
Really? Why?
Huh? Why?
He cheated again, right?
He didn’t.
He didn’t, okay?
We just fought.
Hey, Kim Sung Soo.
Where on earth…
Where are you?
It’s not that I’m worried.
Are you eating well?
Who is it?
Feed me.
Do you have food here?
I left rice here.
The one my father farmed.
What are you doing?
Go wash your hands.
You should wash your hands first.
By the way…
Can I take a shower?
Didn’t you eat at all?
How could a body that sinned want to eat?
But still…
If you’re done eating, hurry and go.
Sit down.
I have something to say.
You said it was teeth versus bread.
You’re teeth, I’m bread.
You never know.
It might be different.
What’s that supposed to mean?
How do I know you haven’t cheated more?
The same goes for me.
You may have cheated me too.
I really only had my eyes on you.
I was such a fool.
You said you kissed someone while you were with me.
I was unfaithful twice while I was with you.
You’re too attentive for me to decieve you.
Twice? Might as well be 10 times.
If you feel jilted, then you can get even.
I wish you could just forgive me and go back to how things were.
But since you feel ripped off, you can get even.
You can date two people.
Let’s resolve it like that.
The first guy can be that colleague who’s younger than you.
Find the second guy.
Get it over with quickly, and then let’s get married.
Kim Sung Soo.
Were you always this type of person?
Thanks for the meal.
Hello?
This is In Young’s phone. Go ahead.
He’s a wuss.
Why couldn’t he just ask to talk to you?
Tell me. Why did you do it?
Why did you do it?
What didn’t I have that she did?
It’s because I’m a man.
That’s the reason.
Don’t be ridiculous, and tell the truth.
What did I ever do to you?
It’s not because I didn’t like you.
You know how much I loved you.
I never fell out of love.
Then why didn’t you think of me in that moment?
You forgot about me in that moment, right?
You didn’t think of me.
Was she that amazing?
Let go.
What’s wrong with you?
I missed you.
What do you want?
Why are you doing this?
You.
You threw me away.
Why do you want trash?
I’m not going to lose you if I get you back.
I’m serious.
I’m sorry.
Were you with Motorcycle last night?
I’m busy right now.
Get the table right.
Is the ice cream coming?
It should be here soon.
I want to warn you that you’re going to get a surprise soon.
I’m busy getting ready for the new Director’s arrival.
I’m helping with the venue.
Change this.
In Young, they’re looking for you at the front desk.
Tell them I’m coming.
Let’s talk later.
Spray this here.
Yes.
So these two are taken care of. Please take care of this one.
Oh, please wait.
I’m sorry.
Oh sir.
Hello.
Oh Manager, hello.
What are you doing here?
I called you about it.
Huh?
Why won’t you leave me alone?
We’ll talk later.
We are hoping to create a better service for our clients.
This is not a fairy tale.
This is not even a drama.
Is this real life?
Yes.
This must be a dream.
This can’t be happening.
This has to be a dream.
Ahhh.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
