The Accidental Couple
Episode 2
A problem came up...
so I wanted to make another request.
Ooh, is that so?
Please just say everything.
I....
Will you...
...be in a dating relationship with me?
What?
You're joking right now, right?
I'm serious.
Please.
Oh, you really are serious...
Right now, no one can help other than you, Goo Dong Baek.
- But, why... - I'm sorry.
I didn't know who else to ask.
Please.
I know it won't be an easy task to make people believe we're going out,
especially because I'm a celebrity.
But I really need your help, Goo Dong Baek.
Um, so then...
So, if we pretend to date...
all I need to do is to tell people we're dating, right?
The same way I told people I was driving your car?
It's not just once.
It's for six months.
What?
Six... six months?
I'm begging you.
Say that you'll pretend to date me.
Can I quickly...
use the restroom?
No, it isn't it, it can't be... Dong Baek,
Tell her that you can't do it...
What... what are you going to do?
Yes, that's right...
Aja Aja.
Um, but...
I'm really flattered but...
Oh, I really am.
But, will people actually believe that I'm dating Han Ji Soo?
You'll become unpopular because of me.
None of that matters to me.
It's okay.
It's... it's okay?
As a big fan, it'll be my pleasure.
I'm being sincere.
But will I be able to pull it off?
I must act well so others will believe us.
The only acting I've ever done
was when I was young, I was in a play for the church I attended...
You don't need to worry about the details.
Ji Soo will take care of everything.
Oh, is that so?
So...
for the next six months...
I will be Han Ji Soo's...
boyfriend?
Episode 2
Oppa really isn't dating anyone?
There isn't anyone. Not a single soul.
Hey, should I date your brother?
There.
How Dong Baek and Ji Soo first met
and how long you've been dating. Please read it.
Okay...
Hey, seriously, do you want to give it a try?
Don't get ahead of yourself.
I shouldn't have said anything...
I mean, your brother is a nice guy and he smiles a lot so...
he's kinda okay.
Here.
The pool at the Pine Avenue Hotel
Look at all this stuff they bought me...
Am I supposed to wear this?
Huh? She's not out yet?
We aren't going in yet.
Please get out.
Oh, okay.
Oh, thank you.
Jour... jour... journalists.
Sit down.
Here, have some.
Can you... put your arm around my shoulder?
Laugh.
That should be enough... Let's rush out as if we got caught.
Okay.
My Shoe! My Shoe! My Shoe!
Just leave it.
Han Ji Soo.
Han Ji Soo... Han Ji Soo...
Han Ji Soo... wait!
Han Ji Soo... Han Ji Soo... wait!
Hello Reporter Park.
What's going on? Who's the guy in there?
Whoa, those guys are something...
Please don't do this.
I'm... very embarrassed.
Can you just tell us one thing?
Are you two really dating?
I heard those rumors as well. Are they true?
Even if I deny it...
you wouldn't believe me.
So it is true?
When did you start...
seeing each other?
Have you been together...
for very long?
~ Actress Han Ji Soo... ~
~ Movie star Han Ji Soo with...
...an Average Joe postal worker. ~
I live here.
It's tiny.
Things are going to get a bit hectic.
It's okay.
Thank you for helping me.
Oh, it's nothing.
No, thank you for the ride home.
Again, thank you.
Manager also worked hard today.
- Well then... - Oh yes, goodbye.
Go inside.
Okay, see you next time.
Drive safely.
I'll just see you off.
You...
just now...
did you see that pretty woman?
You probably did, since you're sitting there.
Do you know who that woman is?
Han Ji Soo, Han Ji Soo...
Our country's best actress.
You must know.
You, boy...
you got lucky today.
Why are you pushing me?
Ohhh, just come.
Why are you so late?
Oppa!
Seung Eun's here.
She's here, so what?
Let's go in... let's go...
Seung Eun, my brother's here.
- You came? - Hi, you're here?
Sit, sit, sit, sit.
Seung Eun, should we just sit comfortably?
Oh my, this leg is so pretty, how can a leg be so pretty?
Isn't that right?
Oh... oh yes, pretty.
Seung Eun, why is your glass empty?
Hey oppa, will you fill it for her?
Oppa too, have some.
Oh okay, thanks.
Now, oppa and Seung Eun, do a love shot.
Love shot!
What... love shot?
Han Ji Soo was on a date today.
Hey, turn it off.
Leave it.
I was watching it.
Then I'll just turn it down a little.
Yes, it's true about the relationship.
We also found out recently...
Korea's shining star, Han Ji Soo...
You guys drink by yourself.
What's with the beer today? I'm not drinking anymore.
Oppa, why don't you drink with her?
I'm going to watch TV.
- Seung Eun, no more TV. - Huh?
Seung Eun, no more TV.
They say they met at a fan group meeting and a romance sprouted.
If so, wouldn't you say this was fate?
Isn't that oppa?
And they were caught by our cameras.
The man that everyone is jealous of,
a modest Post Office worker, Goo Dong Baek.
Goo Dong Baek...
Hey, I think it's really him.
Oppa! You're dating Han Ji Soo?
Oh my God! That's my brother!
Oppa, you and... Han Ji Soo...
Is it true? Huh?
Yes... it's true.
Why... why... why... why... why... why didn't you tell me?
That hurts!
Oppa, are you really with Han Ji Soo... for real?
Yeah...
I'm sorry, I didn't know you're dating Ji Soo
and I was trying to set you up with someone like her.
Mr. Goo Dong Baek has been with the Post Office's Finance Department for the past four years.
He is known for his cute looks and sweet personality.
S... some... someone call... Goo... Goo Dong Baek.
- I don't have his number. - What about you?
Why would I have his number?
Damn it!
What about you, Park Kyung Ae?
- Of course I don't have it. - Aish.
You! Please tell me you have it!
What about you, Sir?
Why would I be asking you if I had it?
Didn't I tell you to keep emergency contact numbers? Is it that hard?
Then... who knows where his house is?
How could you not know these things
after working together with him for so many years?!
And you had the nerve to eat all those free crab legs the other day?!
You're all pathetic!
Mom!
What's going on?
You sound so weak.
No, there's nothing wrong...
The nun said that you were eating well.
You look healthy, and you've gotten prettier...
But why did you get so thin?
I've been busy because of the movie.
Why didn't Kang Mo come with you? Is he really busy?
Something like that...
Are you two really aren't getting married?
I know you're both adults so you'll do the right thing.
But I don't know how long I'll be around for.
I want to see you get married at least.
Why are you saying these things?
You have to live for a long time.
Sorry.
I should be preparing everything for the wedding,
yet here I am...
We will get married.
Who said we wouldn't?
So mom, don't worry.
Okay?
Okay, okay. Okay.
Mom...
I did something that you despise the most...
I lied to others
and took advantage of someone.
That's bad, right?
I know it's bad...
but, I wanted to protect Kang Mo.
and there was nothing else to do.
I had no choice...
so don't be angry with me.
Please don't!
Then, it'll be too hard on me.
Six months...
I wish it would go by quickly, unni.
After I close my eyes and open them again,
I wish all this had passed.
I'm so late. I'll be dead meat!
It's Goo Dong Baek!
Goo Dong Baek!
Goo Dong Baek... Goo Dong Baek... Goo Dong Baek...
- Goo Dong Baek... - Let me down!
- Why are you doing this? - Hey, put him down.
Hey! Hey, I'm disappointed with you.
Why do we need to hear about your relationship with Han Ji Soo through the media?
Is that all we are to you?
Yeah, we're disappointed too...
Everyone, quiet.
Yes, Sir!
Yes, Goo Dong Baek has come in.
I was watching the television with my daughter yesterday.
I was pleasantly surprised to see you on because you're a Central Post Office employee.
So as soon as I arrived today, I took a look at your records.
But... you have no accomplishments.
Pardon?
Right, right.
It seems you were too busy dating?
Yes, that's probably right.
The reason I called you here today
is regarding our promotional activities.
The current company spokesperson is a table tennis player
but people don't recognize him.
So I was thinking that...
Han Ji Soo would make a better representative of our company.
What do you think?
Would you be able to help?
Sorry?
Of course he can, it's not a big matter.
Sir, it's your request... how can he not?
Right?
Oh, yes, yes...
I will mention it.
I hope you don't feel too burdened.
Please have some before it gets cold.
Is anyone there?
What is all this noise?
Goo Dong Baek. Goo Dong Baek!
What do you guys think you're doing?!
Are you newspaper reporters?
Oh, and you're taking pictures?
We can't trust these rumors.
It's all a show.
A show?
Then that means that they are one step ahead of you.
If it weren't for you,
I would've fallen for their charade too.
But... what about my article?
You still can't understand what's going on?!
Official Park...
the show always comes to an end.
It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
I want to be on your side,
but it seems you have taken me for a fool.
You were lucky that things turned out this way.
But if it happens again, you'll have no chance.
Don't you forget.
Reporter Baek,
he won't back down so easily.
That Han Ji Soo girl...
received benefit from this. The news of her dating raised her popularity rating.
Tell her to attend the event that is coming up.
Father, I've done everything you have asked me to do.
Please leave her alone.
Fine then.
Don't do it if you don't want to.
You may leave now.
How did the photos turn out?
Bring them to me.
If you know how to read Korean... read this.
Request for Relocation,
Financing Operations Department,
Goo Dong Baek.
Who?
Goo Dong Baek.
Read it louder!
I'm sorry, Sir.
It seems that I have made a big mistake.
Goo Dong Baek
is an employee that we cannot do without.
Do you still want to relocate him?!
For whose good?!
To benefit which branch office?!
I'm sorry.
I will resolve this quickly and efficiently.
Team Manager Go, take care of this properly.
Goo Dong Baek
is the mascot of our Central Postal Office!
Wait...wait, my leg fell asleep.
It's this way...
It's that way.
I love you.
Bigger heart this time.
I love you.
Aja!
Fighting!
What took you so long?
I'm hungry!
He needed to use the bathroom so we had to wait for him.
Ah, is that so?
Get in...
Hey you, Kim Tae Hwan.
Move it.
The front seat is for our Goo Dong Baek.
Tae Hwan, I'm sorry.
I don't think this will work.
I'll meet with Kang Mo.
A scandal isn't enough?
Now he wants to use you promote his father's campaign?
Does that make sense?!
Don't get so worked up.
I think it'd be best if you wait here.
I'll take care of it.
Those people don't have a conscience.
Oh, it's Han Ji Soo!
Eh? Sports event?
The Director was bothering me all day about it.
He would like Han Ji Soo to attend our company sports tournament.
Seafood pancakes are on the house...
especially for Han Ji Soo's boyfriend!
Wow, how much is all this worth?
...never does anything for us regulars.
Look at all the octopus!
Listen, Dong Baek.
If your Senior is insistent,
what do you think you should do?
After all, he did buy you sushi yesterday.
Are you Han Ji Soo's boyfriend?
Can we take a picture?
We're in the middle of an important conversation.
Oh you're so cute... Like a baby bear.
Please get out of here!
So, Dong Baek.
Please give a definite answer.
I have to report back to Director.
You can bring Han Ji Soo, right?
Well, you see... she's been busy lately.
Hey, she's your girlfriend, just make her come with you for one day.
I'd like to but...
it probably won't happen. You know how their schedules are.
Hey kiddo.
You haven't even tried, so how can you be so sure?
He said that he can't.
Why do you keep pestering him? Do you have no pride?
Alright... alright...
Kyung Ae, what's wrong with you these days? So nasty!
What? Nasty?
I'll put in a word with Ji Soo.
No, it's not "I'll put in a word", just make her come.
Ahh... Now what?!
It's me.
Goo sunbae, I thought I saw Han Ji Soo out front.
What?
What? Really?
That's good, let's go! Let's talk to her right now.
Get up!
I'll talk to her on my own.
No, let's go. Get up, let's go...
I want to finish my lunch!
Go now, go and talk to her now.
Oww, oww! Why are you pulling at me like that?
I cannot believe this situation.
Up until a few days ago, they were trying to get my attention.
I think we should get a writer to help you with your speech.
I just met with one of the writers and...
I called her here.
Ah, take a look at this.
Why are you here?
Why did you get dragged into this? You should've just refused.
Don't be upset, I'm alright.
You should get going now.
And if I leave now,
you'll be in an awkward position.
I came here because of you,
so...
all you have to do is say one word of thanks.
Don't get mad over nothing.
Han Ji Soo!
Hello, Han Ji Soo.
It's me, Team Manager Go.
- Do...do you remember me? - Oh, yes.
Have you had lunch yet?
Huh?
Yes...
Um, maybe... you should ask now.
Lunch time is almost over.
About what?
It's... uh... umm...
- On the weekend... - Yes?
Our Post Office is holding a sporting event.
Do you think you can make it?
I know you're probably busy because of your schedule.
I understand, I'll try to make the time.
Oh my, thank you Han Ji Soo.
We'll see you then.
Then, we'll be on our way now.
- Okay, goodbye. - Keep up the good work.
Aigoo... Han Ji Soo.
I should've greeted you earlier but I've been busy with the reporters.
Thank you for your participation despite your busy schedule.
The fellow who was here just now, isn't that your boyfriend?
Yes.
They say he works at the Post Office.
What a wonderful relationship you have. After all you're a wonderful actress.
You two look well suited for each other...
Don't you think so, Kang Mo?
Thank you for your compliments.
Then, we look forward to your success
both in acting and in your personal relationship.
Shall we?
Kang Mo...
Let's go.
Lively facial expression.
Oh, Ji Soo is getting another award?
Wait, so what am I supposed to do?
Should I congratulate her?
Since I already know, I can't pretend not to know...
She's already celebrated my birthday and she's coming to the sports competition.
Let's have dinner together.
I'll make a 6 o'clock reservation.
Why can't he call if he's going to be late?
I think we've waited long enough...
It's been almost one year since their engagement.
It's not a good idea to drag it out for so long.
You are absolutely correct.
However it bothers me that the elections are so near.
There will be a lot of talk because I am a politician.
I think it would be wise to hold the wedding when the elections are over.
We've waited for over an hour.
Call him one more time
and if he doesn't pick up, let's go.
Let me try.
Kang Mo, did something happen?
Oh... Han Ji Soo?
Where is Kang Mo?
He and I had matters to discuss over a few drinks.
What is this in regards to?
It's nothing, Sir.
I know you two are sunbae and hoobae of the same school.
But, it is not appropriate for you to call a man who is already engaged.
I thought you were a smart lady.
This seems a bit foolish of you.
I'll hang up now.
Who was that?
Was that Kang Mo's father?
Ji Soo, come out for a bit.
Hello, how have you been?
I'm here...
What brings you here with no notice?
You've received another award.
So I came by to congratulate you.
This isn't much,
but I prepared a small gift.
This isn't the month we get our bonuses.
I'm embarrassed because it isn't grand...
But please accept it.
Why should I accept this?
Pardon?
I said, why should I accept this from you?
Um, you know...
it's not like we're strangers.
If we're not strangers, then what are we?
Goo Dong Baek...
I think we have something to straighten out.
What color do you like?
I think black would be good.
Why are we here to look at cars all of a sudden?
Then let's just take the black.
Unni, take care of the paperwork.
- Ji Soo! - Do it.
When she brings the paperwork, just sign it.
I don't need a car.
Besides this car is too big for me, it's out of my league.
Goo Dong Baek.
I'm presenting you this car in exchange for your help.
You and I have entered into a business deal.
We are to see each other only for business and never for personal reasons.
I hope you don't ever show up like this again.
Yes...
You must be very angry with me because I hadn't told you in advance.
I'm very sorry.
I was just thankful...
after all, you said you'd make time to come this weekend.
- Goo Dong Baek. - Yes?
When I said I'd go,
did you think I was serious?
So you're not coming?
You approached me with all those people.
How could I refuse in front of everyone?
Even if I said yes,
common sense should've told you I didn't mean it.
Do I have to explain everything to you?
Oh...
so that's how it works.
Okay, I get your point.
I've upset you a number times today.
I'm sorry.
From now on, you don't have to worry. So please don't be worried.
And, let's just pretend that this car deal never happened.
How long are you going to act like that?!
When will you stop acting like a saint?!
It's a business deal.
Since I am receiving your help,
you must accept this car.
Do you finally understand?
Do you?!
Was it really just a business transaction?
As your fan, all I wanted was to help
and in return...
I thought maybe,
we could be friends or something like that.
This is all I can do for you.
I cannot be your friend.
So please, take this car.
Then, I'm afraid that I can no longer help you.
The reason I was able to fool everyone,
including my sister and still put on a smile
was because helping you
really made me happy.
For a commoner like me
this once in a lifetime opportunity
was really special.
So if you try to exchange my feelings with this car
I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you.
So what do you want me to do?
You can't accept this car
and I can't be your friend.
I don't expect to be your friend anymore.
So please take this car back.
You want me to sit back and just accept all your help?
What do I do?
I'm uncomfortable with that.
I'm a person that must repay for whatever I have received.
Fine.
If you must do something for me
please come to the company event in replacement of the car.
That's what I really need.
I know you had a rough day,
but it's not right to take it out on him.
Unni...
Please invite Goo Dong Baek to the upcoming fashion show.
Why?
It'll be swarming with reporters and it'll be very uncomfortable.
I need to give him a reality check.
Ji Soo!
What's wrong with you?
He's only trying to help you!
Please just do it.
I heard it's already been three months since you've been dating.
How could you deceive me like that?
It was a secret.
Hey, go to bed... it's past twelve.
I really didn't know you went to her fan meetings and all.
Why fan meetings?
I have work tomorrow. Go to bed!
Ok, goodnight.
But oppa...
All you do is go to work and come straight home.
When did you have time to date?
Huh?
Were you pretending to work since it had to be kept a secret?
Yeah... yeah, that's right.
So when you go on dates and stuff...
Let me go to sleep! Please!
Alright.
- Oppa, so is Han Ji Soo... - I'm going to be late tomorrow!
Oppa, I'm so curious!
Oppa...
This is driving me crazy.
What am I going to do?
Goo Dong Baek. Smile more naturally.
- Look this way. - This way please...
Can I get you some tea?
No, thank you. I'm good.
You look very handsome today.
That suit looks very nice on you.
It's just the suit that looks nice. I'm just...
Unni..
Can you check on my shoes?
They plan on changing them.
- Just a moment. - Oh, yes.
Wow, there were so many reporters.
This is my first time...
I wonder how I did...
You must be upset with Ji Soo.
No, not at all.
I really did not want to say this
because you might misunderstand.
But she's really not a bad kid.
She's lashing out because she's having a bad time.
The person she was in love with got engaged to someone else.
They were together since college,
but his father disapproved.
It must be hard on her.
Actually, on that night, she had an encounter with his father.
I think she just took her anger out on you.
Yes...
Oh,
my apologies.
Is the air conditioner off?
How did you feel about the fashion show?
- Was Han Ji Soo prettier than everyone else? - Yes... yes...
Can you tell us about your changed lifestyle?
- When was your first kiss? - Yes... yes...
- Was it overwhelming when you first began to date - Yes... yes...
- Can you say anything other than "yes... yes..."? - Yes... yes...
Go ahead.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, we'll stop here. I'm sorry.
- Wait... wait... wait! - Hey!
They really are something.
I tried to sneak out of the basement parking lot.
I don't know how they found out.
I'm sweating bullets.
- It must've been hard. - No, it's alright.
If there isn't anything else I can do, I'll take my leave.
You did a good job.
Yes.
- Please call me again. - Yes.
For how long are you going to be like this?
Let's have dinner with him.
I know you're feeling crabby.
But still... call him.
Ji Soo.
Hey oppa...
What's Ji Soo unni's phone number?
Why?
You won't introduce me so I'm going to do it myself.
I don't know it.
You don't know it? Just say you don't want to tell me.
I don't!
Fine, if you don't tell me. I'll find it myself.
It's probably under Han Ji Soo or Ji Soo. Or... maybe "baby", "boo-boo", "honey pie".
Han Ji Soo's Manager?
Give it back.
What? Are you embarrassed of me?
It's not like that.
Then what is it like? Why won't you tell me?
We fought!
What? Why?
Is it serious?
Are you going to break up?
No, you can't break up!
Let me eat.
Well...
she probably has a short temper.
She pulls or pushes you,
doesn't she?!
Yeah, that must be it!
She's not like that.
You can't fool me.
There's more to it! Someone like that does whatever she wants, whenever she wants!
She goes through things we don't know,
she has wounds...
and goes through a lot.
So when she treated me insensitively,
I treated her the same way to get back at her.
Oppa.
Are you crazy?
She's Han Ji Soo! How could you do that to her?
You should've kept it in, even if she was worse.
Oh my... Oppa, so you're "Mr. Arrogant" now?
Your head blew up.
Don't be like that!
Hey, kiddo.
How could you change sides so quickly?
Hurry and make up with her.
This is all your fault. You're in the wrong!
It's Goo Dong Baek.
Yes?
Hello.
I know you're busy so I'll get to the point.
Today was the sports competition
but it was cancelled just now.
I wanted you to know you don't have to come. I'll hang up now. Goodbye.
What did he want?
The sporting event is cancelled.
He said not to come.
Really?
I wonder why it was cancelled all of a sudden.
Why wasn't it cancelled earlier?
It's such a nice day.
Do you think it's really cancelled?
That's what he said.
Okay, let's meet with Director Jang instead.
Get ready.
Oh that.
That's the gift that Goo Dong Baek brought last time.
To Han Ji Soo.
Congratulations on the award you won for top actress.
I wish you much success and happiness in the future.
Your good friend, Goo Dong Baek.
Fighting!
"Fighting", he's just so excited all by himself.
Man, look at this guy...
He's kicking that ball with all his might... he's flying out there.
I got a perm for nothing.
Why isn't she coming today? Is she playing around with us?
He's the one who's taking us lightly.
He doesn't want to bring his girl to get all dirty out there.
Look at that... what kind of a home run is that?
Look at him, right... right. You're good, okay?
Home run! Home run!
Is he acting like that just because he's dating a celebrity?
Whoohoo! Home run!
1-0
Oh! It's Han Ji Soo!
- Where? - It's Han Ji Soo!
You cutie pie!
You did this to surprise us, right?
Did you succeed? Yeah, you got us all right!
Hello everyone.
You haven't had lunch yet, right?
Yeah!
Thank you for everything.
You didn't have to do all this.
I'm sorry for being late.
This old field might grow some flowers now that you're here.
Why did you lie?
What brings you here?
I had something to say.
This...
is really tacky.
I came here to tell you that.
Is it really that tacky?
I could've picked the lamb instead of the turtle.
I guess I should've picked the lamb.
Yeah, turtles are really tacky.
It's not tacky because it's a turtle.
It's tacky because it's yellow gold.
Oh, is that so?
I thought yellow gold was the best.
You can get a good deal if you sell it later.
I'm like that.
I was only kidding.
Oh, that was a joke?
I thought you were being serious.
You see, I'm not good at telling the difference between a joke and the truth.
I'm like that.
It's such a small picture. I can't tell who's who.
Min Ji, oppa's home.
Min Ji!
Who's that?
Hey.
Hello?
Excuse me...
Look here.
Oppa, am I supposed to add sugar to this?
Why is that man here?
He said that he wanted to interview you.
Oh my god, what were you thinking?
We have to get him out of here quick. Min Ji!
Min Ji! Hurry up, get him on my back. Hurry!
So heavy...
Min Ji! Min Ji!

Reporter Baek is at my house right now!
Reporter Baek?
I think he told my sister we weren't really dating.
Goo Dong Baek.
Calm down! I'll be right over.
Wait for me.
What should I do?
When I heard him, I got so nervous my hearts racing and I'm shaking.
W-what? Y.. ye.. yes...
A... alright.
Really!
Why is this guy so tenacious?
...give that back!
It's all over now.
Hey...
I'm sorry... all because of me.

My sister didn't tell you?
Kang Mo, what are we going to do?
Reporter Baek, what exactly are your intentions?
Please give Kang Mo his freedom...
Then how should I handle this promise?
How dare...
Who do you think you're dealing with here?
The money in the bank...
I got rid of it all.
Goo Dong Baek, let's...
