Episode 14
Mi Rae, hold on.
I have something to say to you.
This was my last show.
After today, I will resign from Pandora's Box...
From YBS.
I will submit an official letter of resignation tomorrow.
I'm sorry for making a sudden announcement. Thank you for everything.
Mi Rae.
I'm not trying to stop him.
I just want to say goodbye.
Okay. Say your goodbye and come back.
Mr. Kim Shin!
Is it because of me?
You don't have to do this. I'll...
This has nothing to do with you.
I heard everything from the lady.
Everything?
You heard everything?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I can't imagine that I would ever say that, but...
I'm still sorry.
I'm not leaving this place because of you.
It's because of me.
Because I want to succeed.
At YBS...
Underneath Park Se Joo...
How successful could I possibly get? General manager?
Director?
I'd still be a salary man.
I want to leave here, and go to a bigger world.
Is it...
NTN?
That's right.
Then, you are seeing that woman because of that?
Because you want to succeed?
I see.
You made the right decision.
That's good.
I think this is the best thing for us.
Right?
Thank you, Na Mi Rae.
For coming to the past, and preventing me from meeting you.
Thanks to you, I have a chance to live a different life.
I wish the best for you and Park Se Joo.
I mean that.
Is everything taken care of?
Yes.
But why do you look sad?
Mi Rae.
You didn't go?
I was waiting for you.
You said you would come back.
Right...
I'm sorry.
Did you say goodbye to Kim Shin?
Yes.
How could he do this?
What do you mean?
Today was your first main show.
You lost your spotlight.
What do we do?
I know.
After you left, I went to the flower shop, but they were closed.
So I went to a bakery, and they were selling this for birthdays.
Although it's not your birthday, it was still your first show as the main writer.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I've seen this on film, but never in person.
Looking from here, Seoul is not so bad.
I feel bad for you.
You got a job straight out of college. I'm sure you never got a chance to rest.
Working all the time...
I won't make you start tomorrow.
I will give you some time to enjoy your freedom.
How is Dong Min?
What?
Yes... The first aid was well taken care of, so the surgery went well.
But...
Did Mr. Kim Shin really resign?
How could he not even come to say goodbye?
- We were on the same team. - I know. How could he...
I thought he would at least say bye to me.
But why did he quit?
You know, right?
Was he scouted somewhere?
No. I think he quit because of you.
Why?
Too bad.
Looking at it yesterday, it seemed like Mi Rae and Kim Shin had great coordination.
I know.
Writer Na, you are the best.
And Director Park Se Joo was there himself.
We made a good impression.
Thanks, Writer Na.
Let's give her a round of applause.
Me, too. I did well, too.
Yoo Kyung's pretty, so applaud!
She's pretty.
I'm sorry about everything.
About what?
Hating me in front of my face, or hating me behind my back?
When I heard that Mi Rae would suffer because of you...
If I overreacted, or did something wrong...
- You hated me before that, too. - I'm trying to talk to you.
Are you going to do that there, too?
Say everything you want and be rigid?
I'll take care of myself. Worry about yourself.
How will you take care of yourself?
You think you'll change?
You think you'll be able to bow down to people?
You don't think there will be people like Park Se Joo at NTN?
What's the conclusion?
You'll never change. You won't do well.
Fine.
Thank you for your last words of kindness.
I'm going.
Right...
They asked me to recommend a replacement host, so I did.
Please take care of him.
Not all announcers are the same.
I'm a true journalist.
I've only wanted to become an anchor.
Face up to them.
You'll win in the end.
This is a for-profit station.
I don't think I can work with him. Send him somewhere else.
Please welcome YBS's new face, Managing Director Park Se Joo.
That's the cafeteria.
Library.
Let me see.
See what?
- I want to see what happened. - It's fine.
Let's go.
I got it from her.
When did I realize it?
That you can't die.
Goodbye, Kim Shin.
What are you doing?
It's getting late.
I was preparing for the next item.
I'm about to leave.
If you have time, do you want to go for a drink?
I don't feel up to it today.
Let's drink next time.
The worse you feel, the more you should be with other people.
Let's go.
You should drink slowly.
Did you ever hurt someone for something you didn't even do?
Well...
I'm sure everyone has an experience like that.
What I did...
No, I didn't do that...
What I...
I don't even know.
I hurt someone very badly.
I don't know what to do. I feel so bad.
Are you talking about Announcer Kim Shin?
I don't know.
The more I think about it, the more confused I get.
It hurts over here.
I should stop.
I'm starting to feel sorry to you, too.
Just for today.
I'll cry just for today.
I'm sorry.
Over here. Come this way.
It must be broken.
Please look out for me.
I'm the security guard, Park Ki Yong.
That's her. The managing director's girlfriend.
No way...
What would be the purpose of the personnel committee?
I want an evaluation system to reward and punish the employees.
No decision should be made solely on one person's opinion such as the owner, chief, or director.
It should be systematic and allow for people's opinions.
The rise in salary due to the issue of contractual workers and restructuring of programs...
The deficit is a temporary problem.
Don't you agree that we need to maximize the employees' potential if we want a long-term profit?
Am I wrong?
JK Group wants to cancel their advertisement with us.
When a young, new directing manger takes position, there's usually a stir in the advertisement industry.
If rumor starts that JK is leaving us, other companies will cancel their ads, too.
Do you have plans regarding this matter?
He left me with dung...
Kim Shin, this kid.
Okay.
Let's talk about items.
Fact. Finding the substance in things...
What do you suggest, Mr. Newbie?
Catching terrorists or doing undercover work where they are selling fake products...
We did all that already.
I never imagined that I would actually miss Kim Shin.
I have a few good items here.
But... who wrote these lines?
Writer Na.
There's no rhythmic feel.
This won't work.
Please try harder.
Writer Na is involved with Managing Director Park...
Oh...
I'll take care of it.
What do you have to tell me?
Hurry. I need to go.
Writer Bae.
You are feeling uncomfortable around me, right?
No, it's not that.
Is it because people are talking as if I did all the work?
As if I'm the main writer?
I don't think that way at all.
Who would make a beginner like me into a main writer?
What if Managing Director Park Se Joo makes you one?
Your brother and everyone around you always take care of you.
But people don't see that in such a positive light.
They say that you have no skills, but you came this far thanks to other people.
But that's not true.
It's not fair for them to say that.
Thanks to other people?
Sorry for treating you differently, but I thought I should tell you this.
Thanks to other people?
I've always been curious.
Why are you so normal?
I'm getting so old.
That's why I keep going back and forth.
I'm just a guide to help people like you go back into the future.
Then...
Answer me.
Why don't I have the scar that's on Mi Rae's ankle?
Why are the contents of my planner not changing?
What am I missing?
That...
If you don't tell me, I won't go back.
That'll change when you go back into the future.
You are in the past right now.
You shouldn't be here like this. You need to go.
I'll go.
I'm behind schedule anyway. Let me just take care of one more thing.
Give me just a little more time.
How much time?
You are here again?
Yes.
This time I'm here for a distant relative of mine.
He's a producer for YBS.
He's 35 years old, and he's got a sister.
She's a broadcasting writer.
Should we start with level D?
Are you crazy? Who do you take him for?
Let's start with A.
Did they all come out of a copy machine or something? They all look the same.
Not girls like these.
Nice, pure, and big-hearted...
Most of all, she's got to be a good cook.
He has to eat well.
I see...
You are looking for a woman who can take good care of him...
Right!
That's right!
I'll give you one week's time.
Please get as many as possible.
Why are you cleaning at this late hour?
See all this dust?
How can you live like this?
I'm done.
You can come in.
I guess you're feeling the rush.
But...
Is there anything you need?
There's nothing I need.
Just come home early for the next week.
I'll cook for you.
Okay.
Are you feeling okay?
When's the surgery?
I'm going to have it as soon as the new host gets settled in.
I won't be here then.
No one will be here to nurse you.
Don't worry.
It's only the first stage. It's a simple surgery.
In your eyes, does Mi Rae seem happy?
Mi Rae.
You are happy, right?
Happier than when you used to work at the call center, right?
Yes. I'm happy.
Thanks to you, I'm very happy.
Good.
But lady...
Why aren't you going back to your home?
When you go back, I guess Kim Shin and I will be strangers.
I guess so.
I'm not exactly sure what will happen.
Why not?
I'm sure you've seen other people who have come back from the past.
What's with you?
Hello, viewers.
This is Seo Yoo Kyung hosting Literature Night.
Our program will visit you every Wednesday night at 11.
We will cover the literature news of the week.
The viewers will have an opportunity to suggest guests for the show.
I saw the reporter from Pandora's Box.
Why would she come to audition for a cultural show host position?
I guess she thought could make it since there are no requirements...
They already have someone in mind. Why are they holding the audition?
I came here since they made me try...
But I heard it's already been decided that Jo Hyung Min will get the part.
There are no corporations that want a leader who can't bring in profits.
There's nothing to show for right now.
But if you look further, YBS...
Most people who work for YBS care more about their salary
than the growth of the company.
If you can't pay that salary, all those people will revolt and tell you to step down.
Then, I have no choice but to make you step down.
Do you understand now what it is that you need to do?
This is from Tae Geuk Group.
Some reporters must have leaked out information.
They want us to take care of it.
The fact that I'm receiving things like this, tells me that you have a long way to go.
You are aware that the majority of advertisements on YBS come from Tae Geuk, right?
What's with your face?
I shouldn't have come?
I thought you were opening it up for me.
What's going on?
I went to audition for the Literature Night Show.
But I think I'm going to get rejected.
So, I came to ask you to hire me.
What?
So you came here to ask me to pass your audition?
Yes.
You are the best connection I have here at YBS.
Not looking at connections, positions, education, or experience...
I went there believing that they would only look at my talents.
But the decision was already made.
They had someone appointed already?
A reform can't come about through words alone.
If you want to change people, you need more than just words.
If you didn't know that, you are just living in a sheltered world.
Se Joo.
Mi Rae, do you want to meet?
Well...
Se Joo, don't take this the wrong way.
I don't think we should see each other inside the company.
People keep looking at you funny, right?
Do you feel uncomfortable?
A little bit.
I know that you feel burdened.
But, what do I do?
I can't hide the fact that I like you.
Then, we won't be able to see each other inside the company?
We can meet outside.
Outside?
Thinking about it, there's someplace that I want to go.
Why are you here so early? Joo Hyun is almost home, too.
I made kimchi stew.
Hello.
How did you come here?
He said he wanted to come, so I invited him for dinner.
How can you tell me that now?
I had to prepare in a rush, so there's not much food.
What are you saying?
This is so much food.
People would think that this is a house-warming party.
You made all this?
Eat a lot, Joo...
Please eat.
Should I give you a plate?
Captain, please talk comfortably.
Thank you for the food.
It's been a while since I had home-cooked food.
Try it.
It's good.
But what's with the food combination of stew, vegetables, and wine?
I didn't know your taste, so I tried to make the most popular foods.
Se Joo, you like beer better, right?
Yes, I'll have this.
- I'll do it. - No, I'll open it.
We should open it.
You can drink it later.
It's good.
Wow.
So this is what your room looks like.
It's really small, right?
I've lived here since I was born, so there's a lot of stuff.
It's nice.
What's this?
Se Joo...
I have something to tell you.
I want to move to a different company.
To be honest, I had an interview a few days ago.
I've been thinking whether I should change to a different company.
And the company that received my resume, called me.
Is it because of me?
Not really.
I'm grateful that I came this far thanks to you and my brother.
But...
If I'm all alone...
I thought about what I could do...
I felt at a loss.
I'm a writer by name, but only the outer shell has changed.
Inside, I was still the same Na Mi Rae from the call center.
It will be hard to resign right away. I'll continue until the new program gets underway.
That's what the other company wants as well.
I'm sorry for telling you after making my decision.
If it were before, I would have asked you to stay.
But... not now.
After meeting you, I've changed a lot.
I want to see you happy.
I...
I had a really hard day today.
Over here.
I heard words that stabbed me in the heart.
It hurt.
I wanted to run away because I felt so ashamed.
But, I didn't have anywhere to go.
But after coming here, I feel all better.
Your room is just the way I imagined it.
Small and cozy.
I bet your parents were good people.
There's a scent.
A warm scent.
I'm tired.
I'm going to sleep a little.
Wake me up.
Should we leave them alone?
Joo Hyun.
I'm doing this for you.
But...
I think Se Joo is really a good guy.
Joo Hyun, put aside some time tomorrow.
I want to go somewhere with you.
Where?
You'll see.
Yeah...
This is a good thing.
I guess the only places I've been going to are home and work.
There's nowhere to go.
The newly formed evaluation committee unanimously voted for Pandora's Box.
Although it almost ended in a catastrophe
they took note that the team worked together to overcome it.
As previously announced, let me know what each of you want.
'Lee Jae Soo's Consumer Report' 'Lee Jae Soo's Investigation'
My dream is to have a show named after me.
Everyone, think about it and let me know.
Captain Na, I need to see you.
- I guess I got rewarded by default. - You deserve it.
In a way, we all got this reward because you couldn't be there.
- Right? - Seriously...
What are you all going to do?
Are you going to switch to another program?
What are you going to do?
What do you want to do?
You've always said you wanted to make a grand documentary.
Should I move you?
I just want to stay with Pandora.
Why?
You used to always say that you wanted to do documentaries.
I just want one more person on the team.
I need to take a few sick days.
Why? Are you...
It's just a simple surgery.
Keep it a secret from others.
I didn't receive it yet, but I'm treating you with the reward money.
- Enjoy. - You called me here to show off?
Or you felt bad that I didn't get it?
How are you doing?
I wake up and get exercise... Watch movies...
Eat... Read...
I'm busier than when I used to work.
What a great life.
Good for you.
If you are jealous, you should quit, too. Right...
You don't have anyone scouting you.
Yeah, I can't afford to resign.
I'm going to take a sick leave. I have cancer.
Are you kidding?
I'm serious.
Hey.
Does Na Mi Rae know?
Of course, not.
Even when I was getting treated for a small sickness...
I lied to her that I was going to Europe.
If she finds out, she'll throw a fit.
- Are you okay? - You are worrying about me?
Don't.
Do you see the goosebumps?
It's in the beginning stage, so they can cure it.
That's good.
It's good that you found it early.
They discovered it when I went in for stomach cramps.
Thanks.
If you had left a bit later, I would have been in the second stage.
What's this? There's someone else looking for you?
You were surprised that I called you out here, right?
It's my duty to get you the outfit for the first show.
You'll be our station's image. I can't let you wear just anything.
It's got to be the best.
But aren't these gifts that men buy for women?
There's no such rule.
If I have the ability, and I want to buy it for you, I will.
I guess you bought a lot of gifts for women.
Do you like anything? How about this?
- It will look nice on you. - Why are you buying me clothes?
Because I want to.
Se Joo. I feel burdened.
You thought I would say that?
To be honest, I wanted to experience this.
A rich man taking a girl he likes to the store, and picking out all different clothes.
'Try this on. No, that's not it.'
'Pass.' 'That's pretty.'
- Isn't that what you are doing? - You are right.
So, pick out whatever you like. I'll buy you everything.
- Really? - Yes.
Don't regret it.
The one that you picked out.
This color is pretty, too.
Mi Rae, we should go.
Is something wrong?
It's not that.
We should go.
- I just want to try this on. - The sale's over.
Let's come back.
We'll be back.
- Let's come back. - You don't need to buy it.
Can I just try it on?
I guess millionaires are more stingy. Making me all hopeful.
I'm sorry.
Let's go somewhere else.
Then, do you want to go where I go often?
Where's that?
Mi Rae.
What are you doing here?
- We don't have to buy it, right? - This is cute.
Se Joo, this would look good on you.
You are buying it for me?
Mi Rae, I have a lot of clothes. I wanted to buy something for you.
It's not for you. It's for another man.
Another man? Who?
I'm kidding. I'm buying it for Joo Hyun.
Captain Na?
Yes, I haven't bought him anything in a while.
Maybe he doesn't have a girlfriend because of the clothes he wears.
I think that's the best.
How is it? Warm?
You don't seem to, but you care a lot about your brother.
We are the only ones we have. He's the only family member I have.
I'm feeling good. I'll buy you one, pick something out.
Really?
Then, I'll pick out the most expensive one since the talented Writer Na is buying for me.
It can't be too expensive.
Thanks to you, this winter will be warm.
I have something else to buy.
Why did you want to come here?
And why did you tell me to wear a suit?
You'll see.
I can't go back to the future because of you.
Did she leave because we are late?
Hey.
Are you...
She's a nice girl.
Her parents own a large farm in the countryside.
Just meet her.
Is she pretty?
What does she do for a living?
Broadcasting writer.
- Are you crazy? - Joo Hyun!
- Let go. - Just this once.
I don't want to.
- She's pretty and nice. - I don't want to.
She's a good cook, too.
I don't want to meet anyone in the same field of work.
- Just once... - I don't want to.
It's me.
Do you have time?
I...
I'm going back soon.
To the place you came from?
Yes.
Before leaving, I wanted to stop you for the last time.
Don't sign the contract with NTN.
That vice-president guy treated you so poorly.
- When they first offered the job... - A man?
The vice-president?
NTN's only son...
What was his name?
Anyway...
You shouldn't go there.
Nothing will happen to cause you worry.
Captain Na told me the same thing. That I would never change.
Even if it's out of spite, I will change.
I'll try to please others... Close my eyes and ears...
I won't be rigid and sharp anymore. I'll live more flexibly.
So, you should stop worrying about me.
We weren't a good match.
But you were a good man.
I was the one that was lacking.
Thinking about it, I wasn't trying to stop myself from marrying you.
I was trying to stop you from marrying me.
Who is it?
What do you mean? It's not anyone.
I'm home.
I bought one for you, too.
Is this expensive?
How much was it?
Is she thinking, or not?
Hey! You don't even have any money.
What's this? What's this?
One's mine. Leave it.
And the other one is for the lady.
This is for you.
Wow...
It looks good on him.
You bought this thinking of me?
Yes.
You've been cooking and cleaning for us.
I wanted to pay you back with this.
This girl...
Thank you.
You aren't mad anymore, right?
Well...
Mi Rae.
Even if I'm not around, you have to take care of Joo Hyun.
What are you talking about? Are you going somewhere?
Right, Mi Rae!
Can you take a picture of me holding this bag?
I want to leave a keepsake.
What picture? That's fine...
No, let's take one together.
Where?
That's perfect.
Just get the top. I'm wearing sweatpants.
I got it.
- The sweats aren't cut off. - You should have.
I heard you were on a blind date. Pretty?
- Why did you tell her? - Let's take the picture.
- Is that broken? - You have to get her.
- What the heck... - It was taken already.
- Again. - Let me do it.
I told you not to get the sweats.
- Did it come out okay? - It did.
- Really? - It did, you look pretty.
- Let me see. - Look.
No!
What? You look pretty.
- I'm going to erase it. - No, hold on.
Dad.
I would never have recommended him if he would get discouraged by that.
I don't like him.
Find someone else.
How can you say that in front of him?
May I ask the reason?
That.
That expression that you need to say everything on your mind.
That's what I don't like.
I thought you would like that in an anchor.
If I offended you, I'll fix it.
I don't get involved in a losing business.
A one billion dollar contract, and main anchor for two years...
On top of that, the position of newsroom director...
Shouldn't you be doing something for me in return?
What do you want me to do for you?
That's something I'll think about.
Sir, it's time for you to leave.
Don't worry.
He's just upset because I like you.
He's got some way of showing affection for his daughter.
This is the contract.
Read it carefully on your own time.
10.2 Breach of Contract Fee
What's this?
Oh, that...
That's just a formality.
Everyone does that. Don't worry about it.
Because of your rigid personality, you fought with the officers, and quit.
All we had left were the fees for breaching the contract and debts.
Mi Rae. What is it?
You have something to tell me?
I have something to tell you, too. Can I go, first?
Go ahead.
I...
I'm moving to a different team.
I just told the captain.
If it's because of me, you don't need to.
- I... - I want to join a new program that just formed.
Looking at you work, it reminded me of my old self.
I had such passion back then, too.
If it weren't for you, I would have just settled in my comfort.
Thanks, Mi Rae.
What did you have to tell me?
I'm resigning, too.
Kim Shin resigned. Why do you have to?
That's got nothing to do with it.
I want to challenge myself without the help of anyone else.
Se Joo. It's been a while.
- Have you been well? - Yes, and you?
Vice-president of NTN.
How could you steal our man like that?
Park Se Joo... Look at you talking.
If you didn't want to lose him, you should have treated him better.
You have a very different feel about you.
Are you dating someone?
Do I look that way?
I guess it's true. Who is it?
It may be someone you know well.
If there's a chance, I'll introduce you two.
Please save me.
Sit down.
'Lee Jae Soo, the Food Critic'. Does that sound nice, or not?
Writer Bae, thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks to you, my job was easy.
And Mi Rae helped me out a lot.
I thought you would go into the documentary department...
- Why didn't you go? - How can I leave those two, and go?
Jae Soo! Drink slowly.
Please, can I change my seat?
But, why...
Hello.
You are here?
This way.
I'm here as the Pandora's Box VJ, so eat comfortably.
- Why did you drink so much? - I'm drinking comfortably.
Let me give you a drink.
Do you have a drink?
It feels nice to get together and drink like this.
You had that much fun?
You should go. You must be tired.
I'll walk you to there.
You've been saying that several times now.
Sometimes, you look like a fool.
Can we sit for a minute?
This is not what I took before.
This is a later model.
You'll get less nauseous. It's nice.
Wait.
I need to make a phone call.
Mi Rae.
I don't regret coming here to let you meet Park Se Joo.
What are you talking about?
Lady.
Is it the lady?
Did something happen?
It's nothing.
Did I tell you about the time I first met her?
I thought she was a crazy lady.
We were having a talent show at work...
And I did what she told me to do, and won first place.
Do you know what the prize was?
A vacation to Jeju Island. Isn't that great?
So I went to Jeju, and...
It's nothing.
Why? Tell me.
I went to Jeju, and I swam at the beach in the middle of the night.
I remember going in, but I don't remember how I came out.
I asked the hotel employee, and he told me a man saved me.
But, I still haven't found him.
You are not curious about that person?
He saved your life.
That man is here.
In front of you.
What?
When I first met you in the editing room...
do you remember when I asked you if you remember me?
I was so happy to meet you again.
Why did you want to see me here?
Let's sign the contract.
Your offer for the NTN 9 o'clock news anchor position...
I'll accept that.
She almost caught on, but she believes me now.
Of course.
She doesn't know, yet.
That the future of Na Mi Rae here has nothing to do with her own life.
Okay.
Should we go?
You need to look at that to work this?
Yes, it keeps changing.
If I don't have this, I can't go back in.
I got it.
What are you doing?
I asked you why I don't have a scar on my ankle.
Are you sure the contents of my diary will have changed by the time I get back?
If you don't tell me the truth, I'm going to rip this up.
Fine. I'll tell you the truth.
A person from the future...
Even if you come and change the past...
nothing will change.
That's because the moment you came here, another future was created.
You did a futile thing.
Nothing has changed.
When you go back, I guess Kim Shin and I will be strangers.
This...
I've been carrying it around to give you when the time is right.
I want to give it to you today.
Sign with this pen.
Mi Rae.
Will you accept my heart?
