Lie to Me
Episode 9
It's okay.
Do you know how I made it through the past three years?
It was difficult enough to die.
No... I even thought about dying.
But I thought about you.
And I couldn't even die.
If time passed long enough, then Sang Hee would be okay again.
Then...
I would be able to see you again.
So Ran, I didn't get married.
Hyun Ki Jun and I never got married.
It was all pretend from the beginning to the end.
It looks okay.
It's okay.
Dad!
Make sure that you eat something!
I was so busy that I couldn't even make you meals recently.
You know that I love you, right?
What's with this?
Did something happen to her?
Did you finish?
How are we going to publicize?
Next month, we're going to introduce our homepage.
I'll work on the company advertisements.
No, I'll do it.
Kong Ah Jung said she'll work on the accommodations as well.
Isn't it a bit unreasonable?
I can do it.
[So Ran the Fox]
You really didn't marry?
Yeah.
Are you saying that it's all a lie?
Yeah.
I was just playing a joke.
Does that make sense? You even had a house warming party!
I'm sorry.
How did... What about Hyun Ki Jun?
Don't tell me that you got somebody that looked like him...
No. The house was really Hyun Ki Jun's house.
It really is him.
Hyun Ki Jun took part in this childish joke?
That doesn't make sense.
I know, right?
How... Why did Hyun Ki Jun do that?
I don't really know either.
Why am I always like this?
Whenever I saw you and Sunbae together, I felt terrible.
This time, it's the same.
Why is it not me but another woman?
It's not even the first time, but the second.
It's too much.
It's always just me.
Like an idiot.
Ah Jung, cheer up!
Fighting!
I should go inside.
Bye.
Anyways. She played a joke on me?
Mr. Hyun.
Let's go home!
Oh, yes!
Should we eat dinner together before we get off work?
How about it?
Manager, won't you and your wife go to court if you always do this?
Huh?
That is a bit worrisome, Manager.
Okay then, let's go home early today.
Yes.
Aren't you leaving?
There's a lot to prepare for the resort business trip.
Please, leave first.
Prepare without making any mistakes.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Yes, I understand. Bye!
Yes, good bye.
- Work hard! - Okay!
Did you look over all the key points in the presentation?
I'll do it immediately.
I told you to do it before.
I'm sorry.
The data I asked for before...
Ah, yes.
You're the best.
- Well, that's nothing. - C'mon.
- Really? - That's not it, seriously!
Really?
One time...
Oh, you came?
Professor Kong went to a seminar, right?
Yeah.
Ah Jung, let me introduce you.
This is Yun Joo, my younger friend.
Yun Joo, her name is Kong Ah Jung.
I know her.
Oh, you know her? How do you know each other?
I just know her.
Oh, really? Have a seat!
Okay.
Hey, what were you going to say?
Oh, that's right. What happened?
Once, we went to MT in our third year...
Hey! Don't talk about that!
- Why? - Why not? That's a funny story.
Sang Hee and Sunbae entered a girl's bedroom!
That time, he got in a lot of trouble!
That's because he was already drunk and he dragged me in there...
Isn't that being a womanizer?
He was so drunk.
How could I not know about this until it got this far?
He hid the secret so well that nobody could know.
Since it's not too late,
we might as well collect the needed materials.
Since when has the Gold Resort become a place where you play and eat?
You ignored all of the numerous methods
and you let the place go into a mess like this.
Does that make any sense?
Still, you know that the internationalization...
I don't want to hear it!
I am going to ask for all of you to take responsibility.
And for this time, I will personally take care of the Gold Resort.
You may leave.
Tell Manager Park to come in.
Yes, Sir.
Manager, his temperature: 500 degrees.
The Resort people still haven't cleared their heads.
You can take charge of it.
Go fire the people you need to fire and clean up the mess.
I won't be able to do it by myself.
I know. I should go down occasionally.
[Oh Yun Joo]
Yeah, Yun Joo?
Can we eat lunch together?
Oh, well...
Sorry, I don't think we can today.
Okay.
What do you want to say?
Is it okay to say it?
In the span of three years,
one person's heart could stay the same.
But it's also enough time for another's to change.
Just follow your heart and don't think about it too much.
I thought that you and Yun Joo were good for each other.
But now, I'm not so sure...
About your feelings these days.
I don't want to hurt Yun Joo.
Twice.
That's it.
Then are you planning on starting over with Yun Joo?
If that's the case...
Your intentions of caring might be more hurtful.
The solution is to be cruel.
Even though it's paradoxical.
I'm saying that being cruel can be more humane.
Welcome, this is the World Hotel.
- Thank you. - Yes.
How may I help you?
I don't need any help.
- But where is the President's office? - What?
What floor is the President's office on?
That...
[Oh Yun Joo]
Ta-da!
Why is your expression like that?
It's like you've seen a ghost.
You're here?
I called you from the lobby.
I warned you that I was going to barge in.
- Let's go. I'm hungry. - Huh?
Just feed me lunch and I'll leave.
I'm a busy person too.
You're not going to starve just because you're busy, right?
You wanted to scare me by saying that you were married, is that it?
Just for that reason?
Not believable.
Or...
They married secretly and then divorced.
No, no, no.
They promised to marry, but then separated, because of that girl from last time.
What exactly is the truth?
Hello! I feel like we've already met before...
Can you give us a second?
Of course.
Have you been well?
The last housewarming was a bit confusing, wasn't it?
- As of now... - What are you trying to do?
Mr. Hyun Ki Jun, I've seen you with that woman before.
What is the relationship between you two?
It seems as though you two like each other...
What about Ah Jung?
What are you talking about?
Even while you have a woman that you like, how could you lie like that?
Even though you went through to pretend to be a couple,
why are you shaking Ah Jung up?
Wait a moment.
Were you planning with that woman to make Ah Jung look like an idiot?
Wait a moment!
How did you find out?
That Kong Ah Jung and I weren't married.
Ah Jung told me.
That you and she plotted this to give me a bad time.
Is that true?
- That's what I'm saying! - What?
What exactly is the truth?
You got married, had a housewarming party
and you guys even kissed in front of everybody.
After, you say that it was all fake.
Hey, Hyun Ki Jun.
Hey!
Yun Joo.
Yeah?
I'm really sorry, but...
[Mr. Hyun]
The number you called...
Yes?
Let's meet somewhere.
What?
I'll go over to where you are.
So Ran went to the hotel to see you?
Why did you reveal it?
I clearly promised.
Is it that you didn't trust me?
It's not that but...
It seemed as though I was giving trouble to your fiancee.
And I was going to reveal it before So Ran went abroad to study, anyways.
When I told her that I didn't marry Hyun Ki Jun,
she practically fainted from fury.
You should have seen it.
It was so gratifying.
She was falling backwards out of anger
and I realized that all that time, the lie was worth the result.
Chairman Chen agreed to the investment
and I let So Ran get a bite of her own medicine.
Our act was a success.
Is that how you really feel?
Yes.
Thank you for all this time.
It's all thanks to you.
Was it really an act?
Of course.
Did you think it wasn't?
I have to go. I left in the middle of work.
Lately I'm working night shifts.
Kong Ah Jung.
I know.
It really is the end for us.
Thank you for all this time.
Goodbye.
Just get angry.
Instead of having that strange expression.
I'm not angry.
What's there to be angry about?
We were just acting.
I'd rather that we not see each other's faces from now on.
I'm not angry.
What's there to be angry about?
We were just acting.
We were acting.
It was just an act, so what?
There are no cherry blossoms.
All the cherry blossoms are gone!
It's all gone!
All the cherry blossoms are gone.
Ah Jung!
Ah Jung, what happened?
Daddy, the cherry blossoms are all gone. What do I do?
The flowers bloomed last year, too.
No, they didn't!
They'll bloom again next year.
It won't bloom. Now, the cherry blossoms won't bloom again!
Flowers will always bloom and wither.
My cherry blossoms are gone, Daddy!
Geez, just like an idiot.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's not okay!
Ah Jung.
Hurry up and sit!
Sorry, I should have taken care of that.
You're becoming so mature.
Your daughter, Kong Ah Jung, was always like this.
- Yummy! - Let's eat!
- It's delicious. - Yeah, eat a lot.
Did you say it was three days and two nights?
I'll contact you when I get there.
Okay.
- Ah Jung, - Yeah?
Do you want to go on a blind date?
Blind date?
Among my students, I'll introduce you to the best one.
Why aren't you answering?
Well...
Well?
You don't seem to oppose.
Yeah, I'm surprised too.
Why don't I not like the idea of going on a blind date?
Really?
But it has to be a really nice guy.
I'm pretty nice too.
Now this is more like my daughter!
Are you saying that my daughter is just, "pretty good?"
She's pretty, caring, and diligent.
Honestly, no matter how many boys are in this world,
it's still a waste of my daughter.
You can stop now.
Don't be like this and just live with me.
I'd rather go on blind dates.
Let's see.
If we leave now, then we should get to the resort in an hour, right?
Yeah.
- Is anything going on recently? - No.
Then why are you trying to do everything by yourself?
And you cut your hair too.
I just want to stand out. Why?
Is your love life going through an ordeal?
I'm not even dating, so what ordeal?
What?
I'm talking about you.
Did you sort out your feelings towards Yun Joo?
Why? Is Hyung meeting again with Yun Joo?
Did you sort out your feelings towards Yun Joo?
You'll get wrinkles if you make expressions like that.
Hyun Sang Hee!
Hyung and Yun Joo... Just give them your permission, Aunt.
Not for my sake...
But because Hyung loves Yun Joo.
Give them your permission.
Are those words sincere?
Hyung hurt a lot because of me.
Now I wish that he would be really happy.
They don't need to go this far...
Shall we go in?
Chief, Chief.
That person is the World Group's Hyun Ki Jun, right?
Wow. This is awesome.
Welcome.
Yes?
We're here from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Ah, yes. We were waiting for you.
I'll guide you. Please come this way.
Why did these people come here?
Pardon?
It's for some international conference.
They're civil servants...
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism
selected our resort for a conference.
Because we are a powerful and influential company.
There's a rumor that the president from a few minutes ago
is secretly married to one of our department members.
You've heard it too, right?
I don't know who she is but she sure hit the jackpot.
Total jackpot.
Okay, see you later!
Why did we meet again?
What am I supposed to do?
And let's take a look over here.
President.
That road is closed, please walk this way.
Why is this?
Customers usually don't go through there.
President, there's a sign that says "entry to mountain forbidden".
Look for a location with a good view immediately.
Yes, I understand.
[International Travel Support Meeting Room]
Hello.
Please take a seat.
Yes.
My name is Park Ji Yoon.
I'm Kong Ah Jung.
You can contact me over anything related to the accommodations.
I'm sure when the conference coordinators arrive this afternoon,
you'll hear the same thing but,
for this conference, the UNWTO will be in attendance.
We will do our best.
For now, I'd like to see the convention center.
Please come with me.
It's very big.
How many tables are there?
There should be around ten.
Please set another one.
Yes, I understand.
One second, please.
What are you squinting at so hard?
You see the button attached to the lens?
If you press it, it takes you to the lighting settings.
Watch this.
It shoots well, right?
That's so easy!
Keep getting those pictures.
Understood.
The lighting here...
They are from Culture and Tourism Department,
named Kong Ah Jung and Kim Kyu Jin.
This is our president.
Hello, nice to meet you.
I am Kim Kyu Jin.
It's nice here.
Let's look at the other places.
Kong Ah Jung!
Do you like plays?
I like them.
They're entertaining.
At least, when you know that it's all an act.
How is this place?
It has some of the most cutting edge facilities and is a grand 500 square meters.
There are over twenty various academically related conference and seminar halls.
These conditions should be rather nice for the stage, shouldn't it?
It's the place I cherish the most.
So would you please tell me what kind of play you are doing here?
Play?
You really think of everything as entertainment.
I came here to work, not to put on an act.
This isn't an act?
What did you say these people were here for?
I came to help prepare for the second spot inspection.
How are we related to this?
We are providing this year's inspection team with rooming.
And we also filed to support the event in November.
We're not doing that.
What?
So get out.
President.
Chief.
Hyun Ki Jun!
Chief.
Hyun Ki Jun!
Chief!
Let's just go, let's go.
Really...
Let's forget our positions and talk for a second.
- Are you in your right mind? - Park Ji Yoon!
Do you even know who the other party is?
Even though I don't know what happened between you and Kong Ah Jung,
Kong Ah Jung is a very important guest.
A very big international event
is in that girl and her people's hands.
But you just mess it up on your own will?
How can you not tell the difference between personal emotions and work?
Apologize.
To Kong Ah Jung.
Hey.
Don't overreact!
What? Overreact?
I wasn't overreacting!
Didn't you hear what he said?
He was talking about not needing an act and all, and then telling us leave.
Really. In my three years as a civil servant,
this is the first time I ever received that kind of reply.
Kim Kyu Jin.
Is he really the president?
How can a president be like that?
I am very sorry.
Regarding the disgraceful event before,
I beg your pardon.
You might've had some misunderstanding
but we're not con-men.
We came here to prepare an international event. But...
I already know.
Ah, yes.
Chief,
since he's personally apologizing,
let's be understanding.
Would you please give us a moment?
What?
It's fine. Don't leave.
I'm asking you a favor.
Kim Kyu Jin!
I'm going to go eat.
I don't need your apology.
I'm not apologizing.
Leave.
Mr. Hyun Ki Jun.
It's uncomfortable seeing your face.
It makes me angry. My mood gets down.
Why are you angry?
I should be the one getting angry.
So just get angry already!
It seems like you're missing something
but you should feel sorry for me.
Why do you have to make a person misunderstand?
Why the kiss?
Not even once, but twice.
I'm not sure about once, but why twice?
Because I like you.
You like me?
Then what's that woman to you and what am I?
Ah...
You like me a little
and you like that woman a whole lot better.
Leave.
- It's uncomfortable. - Seeing your face.
Looking at your face... So, I'm saying... I like... So just get angry...
So leave.
But thanks to you, we got back together.
Thank you.
I already told you that I'm a good actor.
I was acting like I was acting, but...
It wasn't an act.
Is this just for show or is this for real?
For real.
Chief!
You haven't seen her?
Is she over there?
Where did she go?
Her cell phone?
She's still not picking up.
Let's look over here.
Yes.
President.
What's going on?
Well... Our affairs officer is nowhere to be found and we can't contact her.
It seems as though she's not at the resort.
There's no reason that she would have left the resort...
Call the staff and search for her.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Just now, it seemed as though someone went up the mountain.
Was it a lady?
Yes.
But the sun is setting and she doesn't know the paths.
What do we do?
Really...
Chief!
Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
President,
it's going to be hard for us to find her on our own.
We'll have to contact the rescue team, so please go inside.
I'm going to go around again and then go back in.
President., President!
We should look around as well.
I understand.
Everyone, let's look together!
- Ms. Kong Ah Jung! - Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
- And you there... - Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
You three look over there.
- The rest, follow me. - Yes.
- Ms. Kong Ah Jung! - Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
What do I do? Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
- Ms. Kong Ah Jung! - Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
Ms. Kong Ah Jung!
What do I do?
Anyone there?
Help!
Is anybody there?
Kong Ah Jung!
Ah, what a scare!
My God!
Ah, what do I do?
Help!
Is anybody there?
Kong Ah Jung!
It's me. Did you still not find her?
Okay, got it. Keep in contact.
Kong Ah Jung!
Here!
I'm over here! Here!
Kong Ah Jung!
Here! I'm over here!
Ah Jung!
Here! I'm over here!
Hyun Ki Jun?
Kong Ah Jung!
Are you alright?
How can you just come down like that?
You have to call the rescue team!
I found her.
It's the trail by the 2nd mountain. She fell down the side.
Come quick.
First, get up.
What?
Did you twist your ankle?
Just a little.
Get on.
I said, get on!
But you called a rescue team.
Okay then.
They'll get here around twenty to thirty minutes.
Just bear for a bit.
At least put this on.
I don't need it.
I said to put it on.
I said I don't need it.
It's better than catching pneumonia and dying.
Wear it.
I don't...
You don't have any other injuries.
They say that your ankle will get better if you rest for a few days.
That's a relief.
Liking you a little, liking Yun Joo a whole lot better... It's not like that.
Stop making people look like idiots.
I don't want to misunderstand
and I don't want to become an idiot again either.
Kong Ah Jung.
Chief!
Chief, are you alright?
Do you know how much I worried?
Where did you get injured? Your ankle?
I'm okay.
I...
The victim compensation...
It works out for this so I will be responsible for it.
So don't worry.
This is a good opportunity so take it and rest.
I was so scared that I didn't sleep at all!
- Careful, careful. - It's okay.
- Good bye. - Thank you!
He's such a strange person.
Yesterday, he made such a fuss over you being gone.
But today, he's so cold!
Let's go inside.
- Surprise! - Surprise!
It's not my birthday...
It's my birthday! My birthday.
Really?
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear, Hyun Sang Hee,
Happy birthday to you!
- Congratulations. - Congrats!
Thank you!
Ta-da, your present!
Oh, what's this?
I'll give you mine next time.
Something expensive.
Seriously?
Yeah.
It's a waste if you use my money.
Did you really?
Yeah.
Aunt seems to be having other thoughts, so you go stop her.
What are you talking about?
She's telling me to go work at the company.
After eating with her and listening to her talk about that, I ran right away.
I knew that you would dabble in art,
but I didn't know that you'd try to make a living out of it.
Don't say that.
You're going to regret it sometime later.
Soon?
True.
What?
Because it's nice.
It's a good day.
You're so cheesy.
What do you like so much about this boring guy?
Right?
Let's have a toast.
I haven't heard this song in a while.
Sing it for me, Oppa.
You've changed. You used to sing whenever I asked.
Shall we go to that one place?
We can't?
It really hasn't changed at all.
Everything's the same.
It's interesting.
How can it be like this?
It seems like it's a lie that three years passed.
You must be almost done with your work.
It's over next week.
I've always wanted to work together,
but now I'm thinking about playing a bit.
Yun Joo.
After you finished your work,
go back to Paris.
There are more opportunities over there than here.
Oppa.
We...
I don't think that we're meant to start over again.
Are you saying that you don't like me anymore?
It's not funny at all.
Stop joking around.
There's a woman I like.
That person...
Is it Kong Ah Jung?
Now, that past story
Seems like a dream
What's up with her?
I don't know either.
Are you really not going to stop?!
Then why are you discriminating against people?
How did I discriminate against you?
Why aren't you telling me to go on a date?
Didn't you say that you weren't going to get married before you become a singer?
I said that I wouldn't get married.
Who said that I'm not going to date?
If you want to go on dates, then talk to your father,
Why are you telling me?
You've dated both my father and Ah Jung's father,
but why are you only treating Ah Jung specially?
Ah, disgusting.
If you're going to be like this, then go home!
Really?
Wait, what's she talking about?
You dated who?
Boss, did you date Ja Doo's father too?
He's just a hometown oppa. A friend.
Did you have a relationship with all of your friends?
You're really something.
Really something.
Seok Bong!
Ah Jung is going on blind dates?
I don't know!
This is Shin Ae Kyung's friend's nephew.
His face isn't too bad.
He said that he really wanted to meet you before.
What are you going to do? Are you going to meet him?
I should meet him.
Okay then. Tomorrow night.
Tomorrow?
Who goes on dates on a Monday?
He's on a business trip to New York the day after that.
He'll be back after a month, so are you going to see him then?
No. Tomorrow.
We'll let him decide the location.
But would you be able to you make time?
If I can't,
then I guess I'll just use my monthly rest day.
Why would you use up your rest day for a blind date?
This is a problem that stuck on my life.
I can't live with you forever, right?
They say it's no use to raise a daughter...
I'm a son.
Kong's son.
That's right.
So, this is my life.
I'll do it on my own.
You don't need to come to the airport.
Jae Bum will be there.
Mom, you're going to say something to Jae Bum.
I don't know. This is why Jae Bum is always...
I'll call you later.
Is it Mother-in-law?
Why?
I was wondering what to do about this house.
Do what with it?
It's weird to use it by myself.
And it's under your family's name.
It's our property.
I'll just move into an apartment.
Then what about me?
Soon, I'll be coming back. What am I supposed to do?
Don't your parents have a house?
Tell me if you want to sell or rent it.
I'll do what you want.
Don't do anything on your own.
I haven't decided what to do with it.
That's why I'm telling you to hurry up and decide.
How can he be so rude?
What did he do that was so right?
You're so mean.
You didn't even send me a birthday greeting.
Happy birthday, even though it's a bit late.
I heard you were going on a blind date.
You heard about it?
What does he do?
He's an analyst.
He has a salary of a million and even a yacht!
Are you really going to go?
Of course I have to go.
He's an analyst with a high salary and a yacht.
You're really showing off, aren't you?
Was the yacht too much?
There are only a few days before you go off.
Let's at least let go of the tension while we're eating.
I'm sorry.
That I let Ah Jung catch me.
If I...
were better than Hyun Ki Jun,
You wouldn't be like this.
I'm sorry.
For being a good-for-nothing husband.
Ah Jung... didn't marry.
What?
The marriage with Hyun Ki Jun...
She said that it was all a lie.
What are you talking about?
Everything I have makes me look like a civil servant.
Yes?
Seven o'clock, World Hotel, Sky Lounge.
World...?
Why there of all places?
He says that he has meetings there all day.
You're kidding.
Meetings are meetings and dates are dates.
Let's change the location.
Hey, Kong Ah Jung.
Didn't we said we'd let him choose the location?
But...
Mr. Jung Ji Hoon?
Please sit.
Yes.
I'm sorry for being late.
No, not at all. There were still ten minutes left.
That's a relief.
I bet you've heard that you don't look like a civil servant a lot.
Yes.
I'll take that as a compliment.
What would you like?
What's good here?
I've heard that the X-Burger is good here.
Then I'll have that.
Give me the same one, please.
Is he someone you know?
No. Not at all.
Why did you become an analyst?
Because I like money.
Really?
I like money too.
Why am I a civil servant?
Still...
I think that an analyst is more promising than a hotel president.
Thank you for looking at me so greatly.
But you were always great!
He's an analyst, has a salary of a million and even a yacht!
Is the meat a bit tough?
No, it's delicious.
Would you like a glass of wine?
Yes, please.
I need to use the restroom.
Oh, please sit.
You said it was the last time, so why do you keep appearing?
Excuses like work and blind date... Is that what you consider last time?
Don't worry.
I won't ever appear in front of you again.
He could be confused.
I'm not confused.
I wasn't here, that's why you're confused.
Don't look at the Hyun Ki Jun from 3 years ago,
but look at Hyun Ki Jun today.
This isn't it. It can't be the same thing repeating, right?
She talked about marriage.
She doesn't want to wait anymore. She can't wait anymore.
We will resolve this.
Ki Jun oppa and I are getting married.
