All About My Romance
Episode 5
Noh Min Young.
Do you know...
that this is a visible radio show?
Yes, I know.
In politics...
did you know that image is important?
For example...
looks...
and attitude. Things like that?
You think I don't know that?
Then how about this?
That you're quite pretty.
Are you aware of that?
Sure, I know. I see myself in the mirror every day.
Then, I haven't looked in the mirror today.
I played with the kids at the orphanage for a bit when I went for a visit...
and I guess my hair got a little messed up.
What is all this on my face?
What are you looking at?
Stop staring at me like that.
I'm going to misunderstand and begin to think that you've fallen for me.
What if...
it's not a misunderstanding?
What's that supposed to mean...
Oh my...
- Are you both ready? - Yes.
Hello, this is Park Eun Kyung.
We have two very special guests on our show today.
Towards the end of last year...
these two became famously known as the 'Fire extinguisher couple'.
Hello, my name is Noh Min Young, and I'm a representative for the GJP.
This is Rep. Kim Soo Young from GKP.
A real conservative enters the military, pays his taxes on time...
keeps his promises, and even does community service.
And more than anything, he upholds the law.
But... what are the conservatives in our country like?
[Crazy. You've gone crazy. You've lost your mind, Kim Soo Young.]
This isn't being conservative, but an attempt to exert authority.
[What if I confess my feelings for her, and get turned down?]
[Let's just retreat like a coward for now, and make another attempt later on.]
You and your party seems to be mistaken...
into thinking that you're the only political party who's ethics are pure and innocent.
Liberalists are not persecuted because of their greatness...
but they're kept at an arm's length because of their incompetence.
You need to accept that reality.
[This woman has no interest in you! But how could she be like this?]
Without monopolizing the power...
a fair system which practices good policies needs to be put into place.
But in order for that to happen, a ruling party with the power
needs to open up the door, don't you think?
We...
waste too much time, money and energy into vilifying our opponents.
Always just trying to beat the competition, and gain all the power.
This is not only a negative impact on us, but towards you as well, don't you think?
We will end our political debate right here.
This is the most popular question being asked by our listeners for you both.
Apart from being government representatives, you're both single in your personal lives.
Do either one of you dating?
What about your ideal types? Or...
Now that I've met both of you in person, you seem very well suited for one another.
What are your opinions of one another?
Is this woman crazy?
What the...
- Do you like that woman, Soo Young? - What about that woman? I, what?
The woman that you used to like... wasn't it Noh Min Young?
Noh Min Young's got all the men in this world.
Is Rep. Noh Min Young in first place?
What are you talking about?
What did Noh Min Young place first in?
Huh? What else did she get now?
She has the highest attendance rate.
After we pass the hallway mark for this term, we're going to publish a ranking poll.
Why are you always doing boring stuff like this?
Instead of stuff like this...
Most violent politician.
A politician who caused an adverse effect on our children.
I have no desire to apologize to any of you.
The most shameless politician.
Best and worst dressed representative sounds like a fun idea.
It's not like we're the gossip columnist.
Politicians becoming the new celebrities is old news.
Politics is entertainment, too. It needs to be fun and interesting.
Ah!
I have the worst fashion mistake picture of Noh Min Young from her past election!
Hang on a second.
Why is she being like that?
No kidding. Why am I being like this?
On the count of three. One, two, three.
- Okay, you're all set. - Thank you for coming on today.
- Yes, thank you for the hard work. - Thank you for coming on the show.
Yes, thank you.
Should I take one more picture of the two of you?
Can you get a little closer?
What are you doing?
Let's just take the picture and get it over with.
Why are you acting so shy all of a sudden?
When you've already smeared your saliva all over my bare chest.
Okay, I'm going to take the picture now.
One, two, three.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Noh Min Young.
I thought you might have something to say.
Go ahead.
Today...
you did a great job.
You...
Wait... don't you have... something else to say?
How do you walk do fast when your legs aren't even that long?
Soo Young, your debate today was nice.
Rep. Noh Min Young did well too, but I think you won today!
You think I won?
- That's right. - Really?
- How many points did I win by? - Excuse me?
Do you think a debate is a battle or some sport based on point system?
Debate isn't to decide who won or lost, but it's to reach a compromise.
But who are you saying won or lost?
What kind of a pathetic thing is that to be saying, you fool!
I was just giving you a compliment.
How can you call me a fool? When there are so many people around?
- You're really being too harsh. - I was saying that to myself.
- Excuse me? - I didn't mean you.
I was getting angry at myself for being foolish and cowardly.
Excuse me?
I'm sorry.
Soo Young! You just apologized to me, didn't you?
Or am I mistaken?
But I think you did just apologize. You did, right?
You just apologized, didn't you?
In this tycoon friendly political scene
tycoons are receiving unfairly advantageous treatment and
and the small business owners are dying out right now.
Tycoons, which only makes up 1%... What is this? What... what is this?
All these policies and laws are extremely favorable for the tycoons...
What is this? What... what is this?
Just who are these jerks that makes these things to upload on the internet?
Don't they have anything better to do?
Are they that bored with their lives? Huh?
If this was still back in the day, I'd have your hide over this, you jerk!
Delete this completely.
Make sure that not even a trace of it remains.
When it comes to the internet, it's almost impossible not to leave a trace.
Even in this day and age, there are things that can't be tolerated.
Do you know that? There's no such thing as the impossible.
- Don't you know that, you scoundrel? - I understand. I'm sorry for my oversight.
But, Rep. Moon...
Are you aware that this is the first time you're being searched about in real time?
- Is it? - Congratulations... congratulations.
This is something to be celebrated about.
Then how about... you know... like a saved search keyword?
-Capture? - Yeah, that.
Hey, listen...
is there a way I can come in first for the top searched topic?
You want me to get you up there?
I understand.
But who leaked the list of questionnaires?
I wonder if it was Noh Min Young.
I looked into it, and I don't think it was them.
Then who could it be?
It's like that leak the last time about the proxy voting, too.
I wonder if there's a spy inside our party?
That fire extinguisher really is becoming useful.
Really?
Recognition and exposure is very crucial to a politician.
Who knew that the fire extinguisher incident would help out like this?
I wonder if I should complement you and tell you that you did good by hitting him.
Why are you spacing out again?
You were doing that during the debate, too.
I did?
I wonder why I did that.
Are you having dating issues?
You even asked me those odd questions the last time.
Does someone like you?
- Or is it that you like... - No way!
I've made up my decision ages ago that I wasn't going to like anyone.
What a silly decision.
Anyways... I guess that means there was someone you used to like ages ago?
There was.
But I buried that deep under.
I buried it deep in its grave in here.
- How did you get here? - I thought you had a meeting.
I dumped it on Adviser Song and skipped out on it.
You're actually skipping out on something?
So, you don't know?
I used to specialize in skipping out on things.
All throughout high school, college and graduate school.
Ah, that's right. You used to do that.
You know those annoying people who always were good with their studies no matter what?
- That's exactly what he used to be like. - Those extremely annoying people.
But, I'm just a boring person now.
Thanks to my troublesome representative...
I realized that at least I need to keep my head on straight and do things right.
That's why I offered to fire you.
Stop being my adviser and make your comeback as an attorney.
How about you just quit politics?
Even if you do end up quitting, find me another job somewhere before you do.
The person who can't even pay their credit card bills this month if unemployed...
is standing right here.
I guess she can't quit then because of Adviser Jung.
Come have a seat.
Get out your cellphone.
Why do you want my cellphone?
Kim Soo Young's pictures... delete them from your phone.
It's been proven that he can't get a single signature for the petition.
And in that case, you don't need them any longer.
Okay.
I really deleted them.
Joon Ha...
Earlier...
when you asked me if I can quit politics...
I know what you meant when you asked me that.
Yes, I know that I lack in my abilities.
You're right in that.
- But... - That's not why.
It's because you look like you're having a real tough time.
Your private life...
your life personally and as a woman...
I know that you've given up on it, and is making sacrifices right now.
That's not true. I'm perfectly happy with the way things are.
I'm just going to keep living with Bo Ri like this.
That's enough for me.
Okay.
Then I too...
will remain next to you and Bo Ri like this.
Forever by Bo Ri's side.
Oh my... I have to take care of you too in the future now?
Because taking care of aunt isn't enough?
Did you have a good day at lesson school?
How are you both... home so early?
Grandmother, aunt and uncle just said they're going to live like this forever.
All because of me.
What crazy nonsense.
Why are you being like this too, Joon Ha?
Your young body...
don't you think it's being wasted?
Why are you wasting it away instead of putting it to use?
Are you saving it to use it for food later?
Both of you stop with the nonsense, and I want you to go on blind dates.
- Aunt... - Me too?
Of course!
What reason do you have not to be going out with women when you're a virile man?
I don't have any need for that.
My only problem is that I'm too healthy.
Why is being healthy a problem, Uncle Joon Ha?
Bo Ri, your hearing is overly sensitive.
I'm not sure what my ideal type is.
But as for a type that I don't like... an irresponsible person?
Type of person to thwart his responsibilities and runs away from them?
Even though practicing politics is nice, are you really not going to date?
I'm already involved in a relationship with politics.
But if by any chance...
there are three women in my household...
and if there's a man who can win the hearts of all of us three women...
I'll give it some thought when that happens.
How does that even make any sense?
It's difficult enough having to deal with that woman alone...
but now that aunt of hers or whatever...
and that bratty elementary kid? I have to win them all over?
I wonder...
if it's too late for me to run away from this?
That woman is going to... like me, not like me.
Like me, not like me. Like me, not like me.
Like me, not like... me?
I've gone... crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy...
- Crazy, crazy, crazy... - My lord...
Are you okay?
No, I'm not okay.
I definitely sorted everything out, and put a brake on it.
But that brake broke down.
But...
I don't have the courage to go forward.
So, I'm just poking around bit by bit.
Why, my lord?
Because I'm afraid.
Do you know what the antonym is for the word, love?
It's indifference.
But that woman... she doesn't think about me much at all.
When I'm full with so much curiosity about her...
I don't think she's curious about me at all.
- How could she not like a man like you? - That's exactly my point!
That's the part that I can't seem to understand the most.
I wonder who that person is?
I bet you can't even venture a guess.
- Should I guess? - You'll never get it.
Is it Rep. Noh Min Young?
I'm right, aren't I?
I was just guessing.
I knew that was going to happen, so I copied the pictures.
I wonder if I'm possessed.
Why do I keep looking at these?
Those pictures are too much.
Seriously.
I wonder if I'm ovulating.
Why am I being like this?
That you're quite pretty...
are you aware of that?
Stop staring at me like that.
I'm going to misunderstand and begin to think that you've fallen for me.
What if...
that's not a misunderstanding?
Is he saying that it's a misunderstanding or not?
I don't have an ideal type.
Even if I did...
things like that never goes according to your plans.
If it did...
everyone would be dating the likes of members of Girls Generation or Kim Tae Hee.
Loving someone who's sweet and lovable is something anyone can do.
Loving a person who's like a monster...
is a real challenge as a human being.
Was he talking about me?
That monstrous person he was referring to...
that's supposed to be me?
[Fire extinguisher]
- What is it? - You seriously don't know?
- No, I really don't know. - I...
The thoughts in my head is in total chaos because of you.
All my thoughts are completely jumbled around.
The brain has always been jumbled around to begin with.
You know that's not what I meant.
Just what were your meanings when you said what you said...
are you just toying with me, or is this a part of your plan somehow
or have you really truly fallen for me.
Anyways...
I'd like for you to clearly state your position.
State my position...
Hurry up and get to it.
All sorts of thoughts are coming into my head no thanks to you.
That means...
that you're starting to think about me. Is that right?
What are you talking about?
Are you...
curious about me?
Yes, I'm curious.
I'm so curious, I could burst. Satisfied?
Okay, I got it.
Okay.
- Then tell me. - But I'm busy right now.
I'll tell you some other time.
What... some other time?
Hello?
What kind of a person...
The little jerk!
You're happy, aren't you?
Well...
It seems that she has started to think about me somewhat.
She says...
that she's so curious about me that she could burst.
Curiosity can be a very scary thing.
When you're reading a good mystery, it's common to stay up all night.
Because we're curious to figure out who the culprit is.
I think I'm going to have to make her be endlessly curious about me.
Anyways...
Didn't you tell me that love was a wasted effort in life?
That if people walked around with stars in their eyes because they're in love...
there would be no advancement in science or culture.
Ah... that's correct. That is correct, but...
If there's no love...
how could human beings keep on procreating?
Humanity would've already become extinct a long time ago.
So what I'm saying is...
all the children in this world...
are children of love born out of love shared between their parents.
- Don't laugh. - Yes, my lord.
Don't laugh in hiding like that either.
You seem to be in a great mood today.
Will you be alright to get home on your own?
I'm perfectly fine. I just want to walk around for a bit.
Okay, I understand.
My lord...
Courage.
A night filled with curiosity...
hope you enjoy your evening.
Why are you out here in the middle of the night?
It was too overwhelming to stay sober no thanks to someone I know...
so I went out to get some beer.
Then what about you?
Why are you out in front of my house in the middle of the night?
I doubt you were out jogging around dressed up like that.
Are you even sane right now?
Do you have any idea how many perverted robbers are out there in this world?
To go around like that without even any fear...
Are you going to take responsibility if something happens to you while you're out?
I... of course, I'd take the responsibility if something was to happen.
It's not like you'll have to take the responsibility for it.
What about a security camera?
Do you even have one installed?
Where is it? Why can't I see a security camera?
- Huh? - Mister...
Are you drunk?
You're drunk, aren't you?
Just why is it that you're doing this to me.
What kind of a joke you're playing at, I want you to explain it to me.
Questions like that are important.
Curiosity...
That's where everything starts.
So, I'm asking you what the answer is to my question?
Answers aren't earned so easily like that, Noh Min Young.
In addition...
I hope that you continue to be curious like that in the future.
You want me to make you come back to your senses? Huh?
I don't have a fire extinguisher.
Do you want to try getting knocked in the head with beer cans instead?
Okay... calm down.
I'll... I'll tell you just this one thing.
Just tell me.
This spot...
where you got your saliva on me...
continues to feel moist and disconcerting.
What's wrong with you?
Five minutes.
Five minutes of sleep is all I need to sober up completely.
You can't even give me five minutes?
Fine.
Since I owe you a debt from the last time...
I'll give you exactly five minutes.
[He definitely likes me...]
Aunt Min Young...
Are you upset about something?
No, not at all.
Why are you out of bed?
I had to go pee.
But why were you sighing?
That's...
Bo Ri, that's because...
- There's someone... - There's someone, what?
There's just someone who keeps getting in the way and bothering me a little.
Mister Kim Soo Young?
- Huh? - He bothers me, too.
Having seen those naked pictures of him keeps bothering and upsetting me.
Hey, he wasn't naked in those pictures. Those words could cause trouble!
And you... don't look through my phone like that again.
And erase it completely from your mind.
Repeat to yourself over and over that you never saw those pictures.
Okay. Erase them from your mind, too.
Yes, I should.
I should erase them from my mind, too.
I'm not going to get curious from now on...
and even if I know anything, I'm going to pretend that I don't know.
I'm not even going to think about it.
Don't worry, Bo Ri.
I'll be good and not fall for it.
Come here.
Look over there.
Your grandma... uncle... Bo Ri, and I...
We are a strange family...
but we're a good family. Right?
Continuing to live like this will be fine, don't you think?
Well... it's not bad.
There are no legal marital bindings between in-laws.
You see a lot of double in-laws in dramas.
And on top of that... my brother and sister-in-law...
it's getting close to five years since your sister's accident already.
I've been giving it a lot of thought all these years.
And to me, you are...
not just a family member, but a woman.
I wish that you...
can look at me as a man, too.
Sorry. Have you been waiting long?
I've been waiting for a very long time.
But what is the important thing that you wanted to talk to me about?
Ah... I have something to tell you first.
I have a very important announcement to make.
I've...
decided to participate in the upcoming election.
I'm sure that you're opposed to this, aren't you?
I thought you were just going to help out from time to time...
and that you weren't going to fully get immersed in politics.
You know what a difficult path that is.
I was going to...
but things just turned out this way.
In my sister's place.
There's no significant meaning such as that behind what I'm doing.
But I just thought that if I can do it, I should at least give it a try.
I've made up my mind, Joon Ha.
Staying like this is okay, too.
Oh my... hello. I hope that you're staying healthy!
It's a great morning.
Please be careful. Yes, have a great day.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're putting in a lot of effort into doing this every morning.
It's no effort being out here to hear my fellow citizens' voice. Thank you!
Oh my... hello! Did you have a nice hike?
- It's a great morning. - Hello.
Hello. Please watch your step. Thank you.
Why are there so many people?
Hey...
Don't you think that people are acting a little cold towards me?
They're acting like they normally do.
No, it's different.
The aftermath of that government question session disaster is being felt out here, too.
That's cold. Hey, it's raining!
- Hurry up and open it up! - Sorry.
- Hey, Adviser Park... - Yes?
- Are we done with our morning schedule now? - You have two soccer matches to attend.
It's raining. It's raining!
They don't ever cancel the soccer matches unless it's really pouring down.
I can't stand all this district management duties!
Hello! Be careful out in the rain!
Hey, little kid.
Are you on your way to school?
Get in. I'll give you a ride.
Hey!
This isn't the way to my school.
Are you trying to kidnap me?
What use would I have of you by kidnapping you?
I'm just going this way because this is the faster route.
How can you be so suspicious as a little kid?
Just what... kind of family values are you being taught?
Hang on, little kid.
By any chance... does your aunt at home...
- ever talk about me? - She does.
She does? What does she say?
A jerk who gets in her way, and is bothersome.
Hey, you!
How dare you call an adult a jerk!
A man who gets in her way, and is bothersome.
Thank you for not kidnapping me and giving me a ride to school.
In exchange, I will make an effort to forget about your shirtless pictures.
Hey... what did you just say?
You saw them, too?
This woman seriously...
Yes.
A wiretap?
Is it inside your head or your ears?
National Intelligence Agency.... is monitoring you?
Don't you know it's been renamed as NIS years ago?
Kidnapped?
Oh... by an alien?
Yes.
I get into a car accident whenever it rains.
I see.
Where do these accidents occur?
Inside my head.
Ah... I see.
I was driving the car, but there weren't any other drivers.
Is it another weird phone call?
I don't know why this happens whenever it rains.
You know that rain can make people sentimental.
I'm going to go for a sentimental walk out in the rain myself.
You're always acting like that whenever it rains.
Excuse me? No. Please go on.
Yes.
Yes, that's correct.
Excuse me?
My sister...
She's what?
Did you cause trouble again?
Or did someone disrespect you?
By any chance... is it because of Reporter Ahn's article?
Violent politician, worst dresser...
Because you got chosen for those titles?
It's not because of that.
It's just...
that I hate the rain.
That's why I'm feeling this way.
- You hate the rain to the point of crying? - Yeah, I hate it.
Is there something wrong with that?
What to do...
Unfortunately, I can't stop the rain for you.
- But why are you here... - Getting in your way?
I'm glad you asked.
Don't we... have things to talk about?
No, forget it.
I take back what I said about you stating your position.
I don't need to hear it.
Wait...
after you were so adamant about it... why the sudden change of heart?
Because I...
am no longer curious about it.
And I'm not going to be curious about it from now on either.
Did I...
do something wrong last night?
I don't remember... doing anything wrong?
No, it's nothing like that.
If you've made your point, I'll be leaving now.
I have another point to make.
- I have a matter to discuss with you. - What is it?
You know what... let's forget it.
We can do that some other time.
- Follow me. - Where?
Aren't you going to resolve the law issues?
Okay. Let's see how you're going to resolve this.
Dong Sook, Dong Sook...
Rep. Go...
I heard you were chosen as the second worst dresser?
Seriously...
That's why I already gave you that warning.
You should learn to be more poised as a government representative.
So...
What about you with all your poise?
You came in last with the number of bills that were passed under your name.
Zero votes.
In other words, zero points.
- There really was an article like that? - Yeah.
Want me to buy you several of those articles as a keepsake?
So, that you can leave it for your future generations in your family?
Forget it!
By the way!
That video clip of you is very entertaining.
The way it was edited is A cademy award worthy.
Dong Sook, seriously... just keep going where you were going to go!
When he was the one who held me up...
What a diverse personality he has.
Is there a need for the fashion to have poise when you're already poised mentally?
Look... look at the picture they chose to put in the article.
What's this reporter's deal?
Don't you think someone needs to do something about her?
What are you going to do? Call her out to meet you at the parking lot?
Your picture is better than Rep. Noh's picture.
Adviser Song...
Are you laughing right now?
Who? Me?
Reporter Ahn.
Oh my... Joon Ha.
I guess you are aware that your article is extremely malicious in its intent.
Rather than calling the article malicious...
how about we call it an entertaining farce?
With the sole purpose of making the politicians seem more friendly?
And I was only republishing what's already been known...
Fine. I'm humiliated for having stooped that low myself. Satisfied?
I'm going to make a formal complaint against the newspaper.
- So, be aware of that. - Whether you make a compliant or sue...
it's not going to affect us at all. It'll only affect you guys.
- You know that. - So...
You're going to keep pulling stunts like this?
I really want to tell you no...
but to be honest, I'm not sure.
Who knows what can happen in the future.
Let's at least be a little more distinctive.
- You're not an amateur. - I told you, I wish I can be like that, too!
If anything like this happens again... you'll really be in trouble that time.
You're acting like a elementary teacher scolding one of your students.
That can't be helped.
Your behavior is worse than my niece Bo Ri, who's only an elementary school student.
- Let's live nice and honestly, Reporter Ahn. - Okay, fine!
No... I take that back.
I'm going to live as an unkind bitch.
I'm going to take care of a public issue, and not a private issue, Adviser Song.
What kind... of a public issue?
I have no comment about that.
I wonder if there are any fire extinguishers around?
You should be cautious from now on when you're in my sight.
I was voted the most violent politician around.
You must've been so happy to place first place.
I will make sure to continue to give you more spotlights like that from now on.
- You really are shameless. - Not as shameless as you are.
You also placed first in the most shameless politician category.
Let's both live an honest life.
Life is like a boomerang. What goes around, comes around.
You think my life is the only boomerang?
Your life is a boomerang, too!
That woman...
I really don't like her.
I really don't like that woman.
It's natural for people are who similar not to like each other.
- Let's go in. - You're going to get Leader Go's signature?
How could you have footed a total of zero bills?
After the trouble you've caused at the questioning session
and you keep causing more trouble like this, how are you planning on correcting it?
It's the three bad luck cycle.
Three bad luck cycle?
This year is the first year of my three years of bad lucks.
It's not about your luck cycle, it's about you...
Just a little... let's make a little more effort.
If things keep getting worse like this, you won't be recover from it later on.
Thank you for your warm and kind words of wisdom, Leader.
I told them you didn't have the time...
but he just barged in saying he just needed a moment.
What is it?
This is the petition that Rep. Noh is trying to get signatures for.
So what?
Take a look through it...
and if it's not too much trouble, I want you to sign the petition.
Have you lost your mind?
Okay... my thoughts and intentions are the same as yours.
If I sign this paper, it means that GKP is behind this petition and is supporting it.
Were you aware of that before you made that request?
I looked through it already, and they seem like very valid points.
And the minor details can be adjusted later on by the board of committee, don't you think?
Yes, I believe that I can compromise with your party as needed.
As long as the conditions are for the benefit of the public welfare.
Okay.
I'll look through it very carefully.
But...
Our GKP has a mountain of work that needs to be worked through as well.
Of course, we have a ton of public welfare issues that we're trying to resolve as well.
Hello, everyone.
Rep. Kim, Rep. Noh...
I can't believe they're leaving without even saying goodbye.
Those two working together is making things interesting.
Is that right?
Since we're already on that subject...
What do you think about sending Kim Soo Young off to a rural office somewhere?
Were you impressed with that back there?
No, not exactly.
Thank you.
For doing your best to keep your promise.
Even though I may not have seemed like it...
I'm a man with a sense of responsibility.
The way I see it, Rep. Kim, you are...
you look like a fly by the seat kind of guy who's determined to live his life earnestly.
But even that could have a yo-yo effect.
After some time passes, you're going to want to just play again.
I pray... that you recover from that condition.
Just why are you being like this, Noh Min Young?
You've become... very rigid.
Have I?
This definitely looks like he's found a woman in his life.
My lord, you look...
to be in a bad mood.
Is that right?
It's definitely woman troubles.
All behind my back...
- Are you... curious about me? - Yes, I'm curious.
I'm so curious, I feel like I could burst. Satisfied?
No, forget it.
I take back what I said about wanting you to state your position.
I don't need to hear it.
Seriously...
What's the reason for this change?
Don't you even know how to knock?
How could you be like that?
What did I do?
Even after you saw how I lost to that woman earlier...
not only did you not take my side, but you completely ignored me...
and you left with that woman.
You didn't lose.
You were giving her some stiff competition.
Yes, I lost.
You were the one who was in the wrong first.
You stepped outside of your journalistic boundaries.
A reporter who's sloppy like that isn't writing journalism but sloppy journalism.
You're a sloppy journalist.
I've been in unrequited love with you for all these years...
but you don't have an ounce of sympathy or compassion for me...
and now you're calling me a sloppy journalist who writes sloppy articles?
Why do you think I did that?
Who's fault do you think it is that I pulled an immature stunt like that?
Didn't you say that you weren't going to whine and cry?
That even if you ended up getting hurt... you were going to take responsibility for it?
Yeah, I did.
I did, but...
Are you...
trying to get sympathy from me right now?
I...
don't fall for sympathy ploys like that.
Okay.
I won't play any sympathy ploys...
and this sloppy journalist will get out of your hair.
But, Soo Young...
you really are being too harsh.
Have I ever asked you to love me?
Have I ever asked you to kiss me, sleep with me, or live with me?
I just want to remain by your side even if it's out of friendship like in the past...
but you won't even have a meal with me, or have even a cup of coffee with me.
All you do is ignore me!
You really are way too harsh.
You're too cold.
Is this your first time seeing a woman cry like a baby?
Of course, there is a huge difference between a cultural advancement...
and it may be difficult to make direct strides in it at our given state...
Just why are you acting this way, Noh Min Young?
You've become... very rigid.
There are many positive ways we can go about this...
Just what in the world is it?
Is it a dating problem?
It is, isn't it?
It's not a dating problem.
If it's not, then what is it?
I think I must be man deprived.
I think that's why I keep falling over for a weird man.
Weird man?
So...
Skin-ship that was coincidentally repeated?
There was a similar incident like that.
But I keep thinking about that in my head.
In one word...
I'm wondering if it's more of of a physical animalistic pull...
rather than an emotional pull or attachment.
What are you going to do?
I'm going through the same problem.
- You, too? - Of course!
You have no idea.
The act between a man and a woman is just a part of nature.
But look at us.
We're treading a very fine line against the very nature with our lives.
And at times, your body and your heart ends up doing their own things.
That's how it always seems.
I see...
Are you okay?
You've got great dark circles,and your pores look twice their normal size.
You look really exhausted.
Really?
- Hello, Representative. - Hello.
Thank you.
You're finally here, Rep. Noh?
What are you doing here at the regional budget meeting?
You've never attended one of these before.
Someone gave me a piece of warning.
That I should be cautious not to become a fly by the seat kind of guy.
We need at least three million won to redevelop this area...
and if we want to create more jobs in the area, we're going to have to...
I firmly believe that there should be a requirement...
for a space and center to be created for the sake of youth's social welfare.
Small strides are being made to improve the welfare of the elderly and small children.
But our youth are getting no support at all.
[There's something important Rep. Noh and I need to discuss in secrecy.]
[So take Adviser Jung and get out of here.]
[How?]
[Anyway. Come up with something. Do whatever you have to.]
Um...
I have... something to say to you.
Go ahead.
Not here.
What do you think you're doing?
Think of it as you helping to save someone's life.
I'm sorry. Let's go.
Hey! What are you doing! Assistant Kim!
Yes, it's me. Where are you?
You're being dragged? To where?
Yes, okay.
Your assistant is kidnapping my adviser right now.
Really?
- Where are you going, Rep. Kim? - Where is it that you're going?
I'm on my way to the street markets.
Why are you going out to the street markets when it's not even election year?
Why do you feel that the only time to go to the street market is during the election year?
Maybe you're right.
It's a place for all the small business owners, isn't it?
I'll go to the street market, too.
It's where our precious citizens work. I should go ad observe their situation.
You think you'll know anything just because you go to see it?
It's not like you've ever been interested in this stuff before.
I'm trying to learn since I don't know. I'm hoping to learn from you.
Then... let's go!
So, the market is that way?
- Hello! - Have you been well?
- Have you been well? And your business? - Yes, I'm doing fine.
- Hello! - Try a piece of this.
Try a bite off the bone.
Isn't it good?
Here you go.
Shouldn't you talk them down on price?
You should only do that at a large corporate market.
Have you heard about the new policies?
I'm sure you aware from having heard from the Merchants Association...
but you need to take the written course on service procedures.
Do we really have to do all that?
You should've all prepared yourself to at least make that much of an effort.
- Nothing comes for free in this life. - What nonsense are you spewing?
It's hard enough to make a day's living as is, and you're trying to make things worse?
Although I can understand that things may be difficult for you...
How dare you, when you can't even handle the politics...
Why you...
- What kind of a joke is that guy? - What is the matter with you?
You're blaming me right now?
I'm the victim here!
I'm the one who got injured back there.
See?
Stop being such a baby. He only hit you with a hardboiled egg.
It really hurts. Take a look. Make sure I didn't get a bruise.
You're perfectly fine.
And the politicians need to take an egg or two...
here and there for the citizens to work out their stress once in a while.
Customers are king to the business owners...
and to us, the citizens are our king.
How does that make any sense?
Whether it's the citizens or the king, violence should not be used so easily.
You deserved to get hit back there.
Whether the market is to be maintained or resurrected...
it's not a problem that can be solved by their own strength.
But you're standing back there asking what it is they've ever done.
But they can't just expect others to fix their problems and not lift a finger themselves.
Not a single person back there is just sitting around idly.
They're all doing whatever they can to survive.
Then they have to make a formal demands for changes to be made.
That's what we're trying to do right now.
And even if they don't make such demands like that...
it is a politician's duty to work earnestly to make these changes for them.
Really?
I just learned something new.
Please take good care of me from now on, okay?
Just why in the world are you doing this to me?
Why do you keep toying with me, and provoking me when I'm not doing anything?
Why are you doing this?
No, I already know the answer to that.
I know why you're doing this, so don't tell me.
I don't want to hear it.
I myself... know the reason very well.
Just why it is... that you're acting this way.
What about me?
What are you saying about me?
I've given it a lot of thought...
but I realized that you're the same.
Noh Min Young, you...
you're running away right now.
Just like I did.
That means that you, Noh Min Young... have started to think about me, Kim Soo Young.
No...
You've started to like me.
Just like...
the way I did.

You're a joke.
Do you feel this nervous and excited when you joke around like this?
- Just give up on your feelings. - You sure you're just her adviser?
If you hurt Min Young as a person or as a politician, I won't let you get away.
I'm thinking of stopping the way I feel about Noh Min Young on a personal level.
I'm worried that he's going to collapse if he keeps going the way he does.
It's because the opponent is just absurd.
With the exceptions of the monsters of GKP, anyone is possible.
Even if this world was to become yours, there'll be one person you can't have
and that's going to be me.
- I think you're mad at me. - Just leave me alone.
I feel like my head is going to explode because of you.
