I came back to Korea after 17 years. Do you remember my face?
I don't remember it. Other than the fact that it was ugly.
Joo Yeon, let's break up.
Do you know what's the most amazing thing about tonight's party? Allen Joo will be the DJ!
Who's that?
You don't know Allen Joo?
You must be kidding me.
You live life so difficultly, Shin Joo Yeon.
That woman was Shing Shing.
Ah, I said I was perfectly fine.
By any chance, you didn't follow me here, did you?
To be honest, I kind of like you.
If you're my fan, then you should know my name, too.
Allen Joo.
I told you earlier.
There is no one who loves me.
Besides me,
everyone is a stranger.
He definitely bought the necklace.
Then that means there's a woman who received it.
This time, too,
it was you?
What are you doing? -What do you think I'm doing?
Let go! -Let go!
There's somewhere you need to go with me.
Are you asking me to go to a hotel with you?
My car is gone because of you, and because I live in the hotel.
Shin Joo Yeon must have really misunderstood.
She is the best fit for the job, but there are a lot of rumors about her.
Will it be okay? Working with Oh Se Ryeong?
You haven't forgotten about her yet.
Why would I have used my brain and called you out on this precious weekend?
I started liking you.
He kissed me.
Then... that means we're dating, right?
It doesn't make sense that he hasn't called.
That man didn't call me that night.
Or the day after. Even today.
Hey! Sweet Potato! How much did you see?!
He changed the passcode.
It's tomorrow.
Come to eat in the morning. I go to work at 9am so don't be late.
Hello, Shing Shing.
Let's live happily from now on,
Shing Shing.
What are you doing here?
Hello, Shing Shing.
As you live, sometimes,
there are things that happen that just don't make sense.
I said I would come back.
I said that I would come back as a man.
I can't believe this.
Let's live happily from now on,
Shing Shing.
Who are you?
Would there be a person other than me who would call you Shing Shing?
I'm Wan. Joo Wan.
That dirty and ugly sweet potato?
Please don't make a mess while eating.
This is the right, and this is the left.
The idiot who couldn't even distinguish his right shoe from his left shoe...
until he was 7 years old.
I said to put pressure on your feet. That way the bicycle will go forward.
The fool that couldn't even ride a bicycle...
until he was 9?
How could a kid like that...
have changed this much?
I became very handsome, right?
This is...
a miracle.
Do you still have my front teeth?
Are you crazy? Those dirty things?
No. If you look, you'll find them somewhere.
At that time, I could tell you were really touched.
I said I threw them away!
Seeing how you're yelling, your consciousness returned. Did you cook the seaweed soup?
Let's eat first.
Wait!
You...
Why did you do that?
What did I do?
Don't act like you don't remember.
Ah... the kiss?
Was it fun playing around with me?
What do you mean playing around?
Then what is it? You didn't reveal yourself, acted like Allen, and played around with me.
Am I not Allen?
If I'd known it was you, I would-
You would have continued to treat me like a child. You never thought of me as a man.
Allen did the same thing. Seeing me get worked up and anxious while waiting for the phone call that never came,
was it fun?
During those 17 years, you really got messed up good.
Me?
Yeah, you.
I didn't get messed up, I'm being realistic.
So you concluding that I played around with you is being realistic?
First, let's eat.
It's your birthday, you should at least eat.
Sit. This is the first and will be the last time that I prepare food (for you).
I'm regretting being born right now.
Happy birthday. -Thanks.
You said you plan on being in Korea for a year, right?
I don't have any thought of living with you, but when purchasing this house, your mom helped out a lot.
You know that, right? -So?
I have to live with you in order to repay her grace. What else can I do?
Your process of reasoning and coming to a conclusion is very realistic.
Your Korean... is good.
Dramas, Hallyu. You don't know?
Do you know how sexy you are when you glare like that?
Hey, Sweet Potato.
If you call me that one more time, I'm going to put my lips on yours.
Your kiss... was really terrible.
I'm sure it wasn't.
No. You're really bad.
It'd make things awkward if you forget the fact that I overheard your phone call. I think you said...
I thought I fell back in love.
I know it's difficult to think like that after one kiss,
but... it happened.
It's surprising, right?
It's really surprising. Are you that easy? There are many things I haven't shown you yet.
What haven't you shown me?
Want me to show you now?
Don't do it.
Come here.
You're uncomfortable when I do this, right? Your heart is beating so fast.
Don't act arrogant. Whatever you do, you look like a sweet potato.
Why am I not a man now, even though I was a man that day?
A man with this face, height, and amazing kissing skills stares at you with loving eyes and says that he loves you.
What more do you want?
I'm a very humble person.
That's why bragging about myself like this is a little embarrassing, but I'm telling you because it seems like you don't know.
I have ability, too.
That's right. So why would a great guy like you like me?
Okay, I understand. It might be hard for you to accept.
Do you think your feelings are normal?
What does that mean?
I really can't see when, in what moment, for what reason you started liking me-
This is why I kissed you.
Because you keep nitpicking.
For me, no matter how much I think about it, I can't understand.
That day, you knew.
But when you tried to love using your head again, you probably forgot.
Do you think you're smart?
Who's the one using their head?
Who do you think was the one who came forward, while hiding onself, in strategic steps?
Think about it carefully.
I'm late. I have to go.
Oh, it's cold.
Let's go in my car.
I wanted to take you, so I didn't turn off the heater.
They said today is the coldest day of the year.
Think about it as my birthday present and get in.
It's warm, right?
Do you feel tense...
because you're close to me like this?
Won't you move your face?
I won't eat you alive. Relax.
If I was in my 20's, I would have confused this for fate and would have fallen in love.
I mean, how can he move right next to me?
Oh! Excuse me.
Excuse me. You just came out. I'm from room 609.
Please just leave.
Or else I'll be late for work.
Excuse me.
What a strange woman.
Well, I guess there is no reason to be friendly with her.
I'm going crazy.
I don't know.
My car keys.
I know you're not sleeping. We've arrived. How long are you going to pretend that you're sleeping?
If I give you an answer,
will you accept my feelings?
When, in what moment,
for what reason I started liking you.
If I find the answer and tell you,
will you believe my feelings?
You are really messed up.
You don't believe me when I say I like you, you avoid things that make you uncomfortable, and you keep treating me like a child.
I should just kiss you.
So uncomfortable, I'm going to die.
Because she is the one who showed me how to love,
you could call her my first love,
but my feelings are more complicated than that.
I miss her, and...
she's fond and dear (in my heart).
Does this make sense?
Getting excited and having your heart flutter over the fact that you're someone's first love...
is what young kids do.
I'm at a loss for words.
It's a story that would come from a children's fairy tale.
A boiled sweet potato known from one's childhood years...
returned after becoming a prince. That kind of story.
The story that the two fall in love and live happily ever after.
That doesn't make any sense. How could it be Sweet Potato?
How could I have kissed with Sweet Potato?
He completely destroyed the little fantasy that I had left.
Love is just being confused in the moment.
I came to realize it again.
You got really messed up in the past 17 years.
You're really messed up.
You came to work early.
Yeah.
Good morning.
Am I really a mess?
A little.
I guess you heard what the staff has said about you.
What?
The staff talk about me like that behind my back?
Who is it? Who is it?
They said you were a robot without feelings.
No way.
People don't expect to be comforted or to hear warm and kind words from you.
It's strange to expect to hear such words at work.
Greedy, arrogant,
selfish.
That's right. That's me. But...
if I live nicely, will you give me a AAA+ on my performance evaluations?
I would rather have you be mean and be a good worker.
See.
Go tell them. That even if they talk about me behind my back like that, I won't blink an eye.
Why should I care if they curse about me behind my back?
Tell them to curse. I'm faster at getting promoted than them.
Shin Joo Yeon,
just as people curse about you,
you are selfish, stiff, and realistic.
But...
I can't do this. Look at the wall for a second.
Huh?
Ah, just..
do as I say, please.
Why?
You're really charming and pretty.
Yeah.
But...
why do I have to hear this while looking at the wall?
Sometimes when you look at me with a big smiling face,
you are so lovely that it surprises me.
It makes me happy
that I'm the only one who knows that expression.
Oh my.
My heart totally flutters.
What is this?
Sunbae!
What do you think will be in trend next season? When are you going to submit your analysis report?
Is that important right now?
You checked that guidelines that were sent by the association, right?
Oh my, oh my, oh my.
Sunbae, you're being shy in front of me.
Tell me what you said in the snack room again. I felt really weird and strange.
Say it one more time, hm?
This is why I couldn't say it, because you make such a fuss.
Say it while looking at me.
Good morning.
Hello.
Why are you guys being so bold walking into work late?
You guys are late by 10 minutes.
Let's get ready for the meeting.
Yes.
I hope to get rid of the idea that the home shopping audience consists of only old women.
That's right. We need to show home shopping in a new and young way.
That's good.
How about we bring in fresh new designers who wish to show their collection in New York?
Well, if it's on the condition that we sponsor them, I don't think they will decline.
Knowing how much money it costs to have a fashion show in New York,
would they reject a sponsorship?
It's a win-win situation for us and for supporting the growth of new designers, so...
lure them with that offer.
I think it will go well, huh?
Hee Jae and I prepared the list beforehand.
Look at these two. You guys are getting some work done these days.
We're working really hard to catch up to you guys.
Send this information to Oh Se Ryeong as well.
You need to share information.
I have to go and report to the Senior Director.
We worked overtime all week just to find this.
Who is the hottest out of all of these?
If it's just one person,
Designer Park Seung Geon.
I agree.
Send all names to Oh Se Ryeong except for that person.
Team Leader, what are your thoughts?
What do you guys think?
We can't give him to her. Until we see the results of the first show, we're rivals.
Assistant Manager Lee, out of all the opinions you gave today, I think this one is the best.
Ah, I know.
When did I start loving you?
Since you asked,
I must answer that question.
It must have been, that time.
That's right!
There is no one who loves me.
Right then,
my heart had small goosebumps.
I...
really...
like being lonely.
And in the place of goosebumps,
was passion.
And I even
felt a little pain.
Then that face pierced through my ribs...
and creeped into my pained heart.
After that day,
I always felt like you were standing in front of me,
stumbling and staggering like that.
The moment I started loving you again,
I'm sure it was that day.
Why is that?
Why was it that moment?
I'm sure you don't just fall in love because they hurt your feelings.
I'm sure you don't just fall in love...
because you saw them when they were in a lonely state.
Why is it you?
Why...
is it you?
Will I be able to find that reason?
When did you get here?
Have you eaten dinner?
Answer me.
I asked if you had dinner.
I...
feel most comfortable and well when I'm alone. You said "let's live together happily," right?
Then just let me be as if I'm alone. Don't bother me.
Okay. Let's say words like that while smiling.
I thought about it.
Why I liked you.
I couldn't find it,
why I like you... there is no reason.
But I think it's love because there is no reason.
It's right to not have a reason.
If you love someone because of a reason, then when the reason disappears,
it means that your heart will change as well.
I like you without a reason. I like you because of who you are.
Don't smile like that. It makes me feel horrible, as if I was just ignored.
You're going to write your own lyrics soon.
You're really evil.
I really don't know why I like you!
Ahjumma, how have you been? I'm Joo Yeon.
In case you might worry, I'm sending you an email to the address on the business card my mom gave me. Wan and I are...
There's no reason, but...
I think it's love because there's no reason.
I like you without a reason.
I like you because you are you.
Wan and I are doing well.
Even though we haven't met for 17 years, it still feels comfortable being with him like when he was a child.
Come out and eat.
It's fine. I'm not hungry.
That means you didn't eat.
In fact, Wan is like a real brother to me.
This is Mom's business card.
What is this?
Would you go away?
Am I a kid? Do you have to report back to my mom?
I did so since you were young.
What Wan ate, how he played, and when he slept.
That's why I hate you. It reminds me of when I was young.
Whenever I came home, I'd find a fussy wailing child.
You didn't even go to your house at night.
I hoped that your mom would take you back on the weekends, but she didn't because she was so busy.
Your words are really harsh. I thought your home was my home.
Of course. Don't you know how well my family treated you?
We worried that a rich family's precious only son might bump his head or get a bruise while crawling around.
You were the source of income for our father-less family.
You have to fix how you talk so harshly.
Is it my fault that I was raised in your home for being born to a busy mom?
You left your drawing diary here last time, right?
Oh.
This. Take it away. It seems like a precious thing to you.
However, the memories in there...
are wrong.
You were a really wicked and mean child.
Do you think your memories of making a snowman for 3 hours are beautiful?
I thought I was going to die from the cold when playing with you.
Why did I cut my hair? Because you put gum in my hair.
The piggy bank you gave me on my birthday...
is your mom's. You stole it and gave it to me.
In the end, I was misjudged as a thief.
Did you forget about all that?
He always makes me say harsh things.
Hey!
Where are you going at this hour?
I'm not a kid. Are you worried I'll get lost?
Look at him. Did your personality change at all since you were a kid?
Those were memories I forgot completely.
No,
those are memories that I remember by hearing them from Mom.
I heard that I was a fussy sleeper when I was young.
So Shing Shing often carried me on her back and came outside.
If she carried me in the cold for a long time,
I would then fall asleep.
Was Shing Shing about 10 years old around then?
Is that why...
she had a hard time?
Is that why...
she hated me and thought I was annoying?
Please sleep.
She must have had a hard time.
It's so cold.
Wear warmer clothes at least.
She hit me, too.
Why aren't you coming back?
Come back soon. You're not wearing a lot, so you'll get a cold.
If you catch a cold, I'm the one that has a hard time!
Why do I like a woman like this, seriously?
Should I buy sweet potatoes and go?
I'm crazy. Why would I say sweet potatoes?
Buy it. Pick one that looks like you.
Look at this.
Look at this. I knew it. Seriously.
You ate dinner.
You just set up what I made in the morning.
Aren't you grateful that I'm so thoughtful?
What the... these aren't sweet potatoes.
There weren't any sweet potatoes as handsome as me.
Oh my,
how can you show no shame?
It's because I was young.
I was young back then.
I'm sorry if I was bad.
I'm also sorry for remembering things in a way that made me feel better.
I'm sorry for everything.
If you're sorry, then stop...
liking me.
It's uncomfortable.
♫ You said that you loved me. ♫
♫ You said that you want me. ♫
♫ Your eyes touch near my heart. Sweet, oh na na na na na na na. ♫
I hope you'd ask me again later...
when I started to like you more,
why I started to like you more.
At that time, I think I'd be able to say with certainty that it was today.
Because I felt sorry, I started to understand you more, and...
As I started to understand you, I began liking you even more.
Also, just as I came to understand today
your past self from 20 years ago,
I hope that yourself from 20 years ago
would understand who I am at the present.
Cheers. - Cheers.
I think we're really working well together these days.
Right?
It's really a relief,
that you are a part of our team.
I think it's a relief, too.
Because you're here, work is fun.
Are you not done yet?
It's been a long time since we've seen each other.
It's my boyfriend.
These days, because of work, I'm sure you can't see him much.
That's not it,
I'm just...
tired of him.
What's wrong with me?
Just cry.
The evil Team Leader is not here.
I'm really sick and tired of this sort of relationship.
A relationship that requires too much effort.
Always saving money, holding it in, and...
pushing everything good back until he passes the exam.
If that's the sort of relationship you're in, how about ending it?
Hee Jae, you always work yourself too hard.
I don't know too much, but...
if you're working as hard on your relationship as you do with work, then...
it'd be nice if you could make things easier.
You and I...
are under different circumstances.
I think that I won't be able to survive without putting in a lot of effort.
I said you could just cry without trying so hard (to keep it in).
You are crazy.
I wish I could die.
Why did you do it?
Oh my... does there need to be a reason to kiss a guy?
When your eyes meets, you just do it.
She has a boyfriend.
Exactly.
I really don't know.
I knew that he was a nice guy, but it's not as if I liked him.
It doesn't matter. You could like him, starting now.
What about the boyfriend?
Well, you could cheat on him for as long as you could, then...
marry with just one of them, since that's the law.
Don't listen to her. It's nonsense.
Should I tell my boyfriend the truth?
Are you crazy? - Are you crazy?
We've never had any secrets between us.
I couldn't sleep a wink last night because of guilt.
Are you going to send your boyfriend to hell so that you'll feel better?
So... how was it?
Did you like it?
I think it was because of the alcohol.
I feel really sorry toward my boyfriend.
Everyone is early today...
coming to work.
She said she kissed. - Sunbaenim!
Even though she has a boyfriend, but she said she liked it.
Hey, exactly who is he?
You're always working late. Where could you have met a guy?
Wow, you have some serious talent.
That's enough. We have a meeting with the production team.
Hey, Lee Woo Young, get some help.
She gets to kiss with two guys, but how come you can't?
Is there perhaps a problem with you?
Aigoo... I said let's go.
Seriously...
there are no secrets in this company.
Exactly! Why did you do it?
When you know I have a boyfriend.
I just gently touched your lips.
I don't really know why I did it.
But you... - Oh, right!
What an awkward way to go to the restroom.
An easy (wearable) item with witty and trendy details.
If we keep that style and make a second brand, then...
I think it'll definitely work for home shopping.
I think it's a good idea, too.
He is gaining interest overseas as well.
There's a high chance that it'll become a global brand. We have to be the first ones who approach him.
Think of ways that we could approach him quickly.
I got us some time to meet and greet through a friend, but...
I don't think it'll be easy.
He's just starting to gain attention and build an image as a high-fashion designer, and...
it seems like he doesn't want a home shopping image casting over him.
Since it's a first-time meeting, let's just show our faces and not place too much pressure.
Oh, hey.
He's with a guest right now, so I think you'll have to wait.
Did you give him our project proposal?
Yeah, I gave it to him.
Did you tell Oh Se Ryeong about this?
No! - No!
Hello.
I heard about you from Henry.
I heard he refused without hesitation.
But after hearing that I'm involved, he said he'd help.
Don't you think you're taking on too much work these days?
Do you think you'll be able to pull this off even though you're so busy?
Don't worry. Don't you know how good I am?
Teacher, you have a phone call.
Okay. Then...
Designer Park Seung Geon wasn't on the list you sent me.
We found him after we sent you that list.
Things could get added on while you work.
Then you should have shared that information as well.
Then why didn't you? After seeing that list, if there was a designer that you thought should be added,
you should have shared it with us.
Why do you think I didn't?
Because you don't think of us as one team.
You're right,
I don't think we're a team.
I think of you as my "helpers."
You're saying the ball will be in your court the entire time?
Yup. I really don't like sharing things with others.
I will initiate things with designer Park Seung Geon.
I'm going to assume that we've agreed to this.
If I was in the driver's seat, I would run right into that wench.
Let's think of this in a good way, positively!
In the end, Oh Se Ryeong's success is our success.
I know. I know that, but...
I can't be that reasonable.
If we're going to survive, we should be the only ones to survive. And...
if we're going to die, we should take Oh Se Ryeong with us. To tell you the truth, that's how feel.
Yeah, I don't think I could stand letting her shine while we get buried.
Why is that men can never refuse Oh Se Ryeong's favors?
When they fall in love, they can't forget her, either.
There was a guy who was totally in ruins for a whole year. Director Kang.
Who?!
Hey, the light is red!
Kang Tae Yoon used to date her, a while ago.
How did you know?
When Kang Tae Yoon used to be a team leader, he and I
were on the same team. It was when you just joined Team 3.
Back then, she was just a newbie stylist.
She gained recognition and success while they were dating, then she dumped Kang Tae Yoon, I think.
Sunbae got dumped?!
That worthless girl dared to dump him?!
After breaking up with her, he was totally in ruins.
Don't you remember the 1-year leave of absence that the "almighty" Kang Tae Yoon had?
While he was wasting a year being hopelessly lost in the "desert,"
the Senior Director personally went and persuaded him to come back.
Oh, the light changed.
Can you drop me off over there?
Hey, could you stop the car?
Huh?
Where? - Over there.
She's not even asking why I'm getting dropped off here.
That means today is Friday.
How did it go? Did you meet the designer?
What are you doing?
Is it okay to drink in the office?
Want to drink together?
This is Lee Woo Young's desk, right?
I found this yesterday while looking for a stapler.
Just leave it.
We used to do it back in the day.
And... it's past 9pm now.
It didn't go well?
Oh Se Ryeong was already there.
She was one step ahead.
By any chance, that list...
you didn't give it to her, right?
Why would you ask?
Just checking. I heard you guys used to date. The two of you.
She...
she's really not that great.
I know her well because we were high school classmates.
Do you know when she made her breakthrough as a stylist?
It was after she styled the look for Senator Kang Il Gook. The rumors that spread at that time-
How can I talk about her past like this?
Since I've given you an update, I'll be leaving.
But, do you know?
That by association, you seem lousy.
The person that I'm looking up to is someone
who loved a woman like that.
I'm disappointed in you, Sunbae.
There was no need to say it like that.
It's because I'm tired. Tired.
I can't come in tonight.
Lock up and go to sleep.
Why are you sleeping out?
How is the place that you moved to?
Is it nice to live in?
Yeah. Overall, it's good.
The park is close and the library is close, too.
Ah, but...
the next door neighbor is strange.
What?
What's strange about them?
They say a senior citizen lives alone next door.
Senior citizen who lives alone?
How old is she that she's a senior citizen?
I heard she's around 40 years old, but
the people in our apartment call her "senior citizen who lives alone."
Ah, that must be her nickname.
Those people at your apartment are really mean.
Anyways, she's strange. That senior citizen who lives alone.
I think she leaves her apartment, but...
I wonder why she avoids people so much.
I think she might have social phobia.
It worries me.
I heard there were people who lived alone who died while trapped in their homes.
The weather's been cold.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
Why are you thinking like that?
Woo Young, wait a minute.
What are you doing? Ah!
You have a gray hair.
Look at it.
This...
you pulled it from my head?
Really from my head?
It's okay.
A gray hair can pop up in your twenties.
It happens sometimes.
Wait a second.
Oh! That's him, right?
He comes often and waits. But today you two are meeting.
She's gotten bigger.
She's had some skin problems, but it seems better now.
Yes, she goes to the hospital often.
If I don't pay attention for a little bit, she gets sick easily.
Her jealousy is quite something.
The bottle of Galliano that I left here last time.
Yes.
I'll have another glass.
You're not ready to look at me, face-to-face, right?
That's not possible.
It's been a while seeing you this close, right?
You're easy like always.
Everything is easy.
It was hard for me, too.
There's no way that it'd be easy to smile at a man who has his sword pointed at me.
That's your major.
Flashing your smile at whoever who could help you get what you want.
You're right.
I do have a talent in that area.
But... I really mean it right now.
I want to start over with you, Tae Yoon.
I don't have that desire.
You don't like me. You still...
hate me.
If you know, then don't joke around again like that.
I wasn't humored 3 years ago, and I still don't find it pleasant.
Do you know...
that without love,
there is no hate.
That's what gives me...
hope.
Hope that I could have you again. Hope.
So... continue to hate me.
Hold onto a bottle under this man's name.
I will come back to drink it.
Sunbae, it's me, Joo Yeon.
I was a little harsh earlier, and
I felt bad talking about someone behind their back.
Hello?
He called for a substitute driver and fell asleep.
He won't wake up no matter how much I shake him.
He drank too much.
Please know how I feel.
I stayed up all night and drove here so I can feed you breakfast.
Shing Shing, you didn't go to work yet, right?
Hey, you said you weren't coming home tonight.
What are those shoes?
I have a guest.
I know. I'm sure it's a guy.
Even if you didn't take my feelings seriously,
isn't it a little much since I'm living with you?
Hey, you said you weren't coming home. Why did you come?
Who...are you?
And who are you?
What's wrong with you, he's just my Sunbae.
What are you... That man...
Hey. - You didn't let him sleep in my room last night, right?
He slept with me in my room. Why?
If he sees that your car is left here, he will go crazy.
He likes you, huh?
You must have stayed out last night.
It's none of your concern.
He slept at my place.
Sunbae, wait for me.
Your menstrual cycle is becoming longer and longer, right?
Your face starts to feel flush, and you feel hot.
It's premature menopause.
I carried it around with me so I could get your autograph.
You were cautious of Shin Joo Yeon while in the office it seems.
Ah, I can't do this. My heart's racing too much.
If we're going to use my name, I don't think those clothes will work.
Let's do it separately. The broadcast.
