[Episode 6]
Oh my!
Professor!
Oh my!
Are you all right?
Oh, it was just so slippery...
I'm fine now.
No, it's too slippery here for you to go alone.
Take my arm.
Is that okay?
Of course. Just think of me as your cane and hold on tight.
- Oh my! - Oh no!
Just hang onto my arm.
I couldn't do that. It's embarrassing.
It's fine! Here.
Then... sorry about this.
No worries! Be careful!
- There... oh no! - Oh my!
Oh my! Oh my, oh my!
- Oh no... - Oh, geez...
Oh no! It's all because of me...
Then, here... use this to cover your behind.
I think it'd be more noticeable if I did that.
What?
Then, let's hurry to the center and wash those clothes.
- Okay? - Yes.
Despite it all, we're lucky that you had a spare pair of pants.
You washed your hands, right?
Put this on. Otherwise, your hands will get dry.
Yes. Thank you.
Oh no... what do I do?
I squeezed out way too much. Let's share some of it.
All done! All shiny and soft.
Oh, yes! Mr. Seung Chan... can you help me work out?
An exercise that will be easier on your body?
Well, teaching you stretches is easy enough, yes.
That kind of stuff is good too, but what about stuff on workout machines?
If you have time, it'd be nice
if you could come shopping for workout equipment with me.
You can buy them online, too. Want me to pick one out for you?
Then I can't see the item in person, so...
Why, are you a bit too busy to come with me?
No. We can go on Saturday, then. When are you free?
I'm free whenever.
I'll adjust my schedule so that we can go whenever it works for you.
Doctor. Doctor Choi wants to see you for a bit.
At any rate, let me know what time works for you.
Okay!
Were you a good student in school?
Well... um...
What subject did you like?
Wait.
You saw how he's blinking here, right?
Yeah. Judging from the behavior
I'm sure he remembered something.
Do you live a normal everyday life? What time do you wake up in the morning?
Early in the morning.
Early in the morning, huh?
How peculiar for a young man.
And here.
Early in the morning.
He's touching his hand and fidgeting. He's clearly uncomfortable.
Early in the morning. An unpleasant memory.
We've found another keyword.
What are your hobbies?
Well, I don't know...
I like watching movies, and...
What were you doing?
I fell asleep.
Where are we going?
To the Chairman's vacation home.
He wanted to meet you there today.
He made three men approach one woman?
How amusing!
Chairman!
So? Which man did that woman choose?
Was there a guy around my age among those three?
She chose a successful guy in his thirties.
But... isn't this sort of experiment kind of terrible?
There are a lot of ethical issues with it, and...
I don't care about things like ethics.
Humanity in itself is an issue.
Hey. This is similar to the video that the team analyzed, right?
Yes. This experiment could help us figure out what kind of makeup
women use to appeal to their ideal demographic.
And since we're in the business of cosmetics marketing
we'll be able to figure out what women want and act accordingly.
I'm sure that's Experiment AB that we invested in.
Then, he won't be doing that kind of experiment again, right?
Well, we can't know for sure.
He's very thorough, so he might conduct a "part 2" version of Experiment AB.
So, that means that he could possibly be doing a similar experiment right now!
That's right.
Then, do you want me to find out if the current experiment is Experiment AB?
No. All I wanted to know was about the experiment itself, so it's fine.
Hey.
Have the model for the new makeup be a man in his thirties
and prepare the investment for Choi Soo Hyun's experiment.
Yes, sir.
Good work. It's all thanks to you... oh yeah.
The 50 million won that we promised her.
Deposit it immediately.
That's why I'm saying that it makes no sense!
Why would we re-do an experiment that we've already done?
Well, we can't know for sure.
He's very thorough, so he might conduct a "part 2" version of Experiment AB.
What the hell? Did he lie to me again?
Who was the woman we saw just now?
You don't need to know that. Let us go.
What? Hye Rim found out about the experiment?
Yes. She was hitting the table with her shoe and was going crazy.
And? So she found out that we're doing an experiment?
No. The doctor lied to her.
But I think he was having a hard time, too.
She said that, if he were doing an experiment like that on her
she'd curse him until the day she dies.
Then his face grew dark and he didn't even eat because he was worried.
He was worrying?
That cold-blooded creature?
Yes. He was sighing until dinnertime with a serious expression on his face.
Wait a minute.
Does that guy really...
Why are you wallowing in the dark?
Soo Hyun. I'm begging you.
When you see Hye Rim from now on, be good to her irregardless of the experiment.
I heard from Ms. Yoo Rim on my way out of work
that Hye Rim has a disease.
An incurable one, at that.
It's this disease called, um... idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
And it's fatal, apparently.
Does that even make sense?
I saw Yoo Rim this morning too, and she...
Because she didn't want Hye Rim to notice.
What good will it do to find out she has an incurable disease?
So she wants her to have a fun life before she passes on.
I agreed to that.
It's important for her to enjoy the remainder of her life, after all.
Stop joking around.
Don't try to trick me with that kind of lie...
If you want to believe that I'm lying, then so be it.
All I did was tell you the truth.
Wait.
What did you say the name of the disease was?
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Does that even make sense?
[Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis]
[Go Yoo Rim]
[Test Subject]
Yes, Mr. Soo Hyun?
You weren't asleep?
No. What is it?
I have something to ask... can I have Ms. Yoo Rim's phone number?
Sure. I'll send it to you via text.
But why? She went to the countryside for a shoot.
She's in the middle of it now, so she probably can't pick up.
Oh... really?
Is... your body okay lately?
Why are you asking me that all of the sudden?
Just because you didn't seem to be doing too well lately.
How are you feeling?
Well, I don't know... I've had aches all over since turning thirty.
Where does it hurt?
I feel like I can't digest as well as before
and I get headaches...
oh, and I get coughs sometimes.
Do you get them often?
Yes. If I go somewhere where the air is polluted, I get really bad coughs.
Do you have any respiratory issues?
Well...
when I take the stairs, I do get shortness of breath.
But why?
Um... it's nothing.
You're so strange today. Is something wrong?
No. I'll be hanging up now.
[Text Message from: Test Subject]
The person you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time...
It's a lie. Seung Chan is just messing with me.
There is no medication to combat it?
But I'm sure there must be some being tested, at the very least.
There's no other cure besides getting a lung transplant?
Wait? What do you mean, wait? We have no time!
More than 50 percent of people die within 5 years of diagnosis?
What's the cause?
Hypoxia.
Heart failure?
I found out that there's a medication
being tested for the disease that Ms. Hye Rim has in Europe.
What disease?
Apparently, some petrochemicals have the effect
of slowing down the progression of the disease.
So tell Ms. Yoo Rim, and...
You were losing sleep over researching all this?
You're the weird one.
How could you be sleeping, when you said you like her so much?
See? You understand now, right?
That's how much you like her.
What kind of thing is that to say, in this situation?
Sorry. I lied to you.
I'm sorry!
I was just messing around!
You call this "messing around?"
It's because I wanted to know how you felt!
But... now you've realized how you feel about her, right?
So... let's stop this experiment.
This experiment was doomed the moment you started having feelings for her.
No.
I can't do that.
Soo Hyun!
[Madame Antoine Project Pilot Study Blueprint]
[Experiment Log]
Please take good care of my Do Kyung.
You're making it worse. Here...
I've perceived a dangerous signal from my brain.
A terrible hormone that will be detrimental to the experiment
has begun to be produced.
I've lost my right to be Male Subject A.
Therefore, I, Choi Soo Hyun, will no longer be a part of the experiment.
If so, do I even have the right to be the overseer of this experiment?
Since I've developed unproductive feelings toward the subject
the results can't help but become a bit corrupted.
Then, do I have to stop the experiment altogether?
No. My reputation as a psychologist is at stake.
Thus, I must return to the sole role of overseeing, as late as it may be.
I will distance myself from Go Hye Rim. I won't even see her face anymore.
Out of sight, out of mind.
That's the only answer.
You're here, sir?
You two, follow me.
In all experiments, something called an inflection occurs.
And when something unexpected happens, we must start again from scratch.
What are you saying? So you're saying something like that has happened here?
I'm no longer going to be a part of the experiment.
What?
Yes, good thinking!
This experiment will be fine with just the two of us...
And you.
Find another man to replace me as Male Subject A.
What?
If you're going to pull out, just pull out. Why are you...
And please call over Ms. Go Hye Rim for me.
[Termination of Position at Psychology Center]
What is this?
It's as it says.
Please quit your position as a consultant here.
Why? Why do I have to do that?
I've taken on a large project.
About a month ago, I heard from JPSP's Dr. Brown
and I have to establish the new psychological counseling curriculum.
JPSP stands for Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
and it's the most renowned psychological journal in the entire world...
In other words, you're saying that you're busy now.
But what does that have to do with me quitting my job here?
I have to concentrate on that work from now on.
So after we're done counseling Sung Oh, we'll be closing down the center.
If the center ceases to exist, there will be no need for employees, after all.
That's why I'm telling you to quit.
Then... where will you be working from now on?
I'll have to look for a new office.
You could just keep your office here, though.
It's a bit difficult to work here quietly, though.
And there's the cafe downstairs, too.
Was my cafe that noisy this whole time?
During experimentation
one's psychological state of mind is the most important.
It's because I need a place
where I can be alone in silence without interacting with others.
And who exactly are "others?"
Ji Ho will continue working with you, and...
am I, by any chance, a part of the "noisy environment" you're trying to escape?
Was I such a bother to you all this time?
I feel that you will be a bother to me from now on.
Why?
You were the one who bothered my work in the first place.
Who was the one who called me out of work to buy me food and bags, again?
That was before I took on this project, so...
So when you're not busy, it's okay to bother others
but when you're busy, you're tossing everything to the curb and leaving?
I knew that you were the type of person to do whatever you wanted
but I didn't know it was to this point.
I've been thinking for a long time that I need to focus solely on my exper...
Since when, exactly?
One week? One month?
You even came to the detention center for me not too long ago!
That time, I felt bad that you were arrested instead of me, so...
So you smashed Seung Chan's scooter and got arrested on purpose?
Stop using things like your project as an excuse.
That's not the real reason, right?
What's the real reason?
Look me in the eyes and tell me.
That's just how I work.
If I get caught up with work, I don't even eat or sleep.
That's why I'm saying that I'm cutting off all human connections, too.
Sign it.
And resign.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
You're not the one who gave me this position. It was Chairman Kim.
And I agreed out of my own desire to.
You don't have the right to fire me like this, as you please.
When I feel like it's the right time and that you really don't need me anymore
then I'll quit on my own.
So mind your own business.
I thought you said that you liked me.
I thought you said that your brain went crazy
your hormones, breathing, and heartbeat were a mess the first time you saw me.
What was that, then?
Was it just temporary insanity?
Seeing as you can't say anything, I think I get it.
So you're saying that everything you said to me until now was a lie, right?
To me, you were a great partner.
Partner...
Fine. It's not like we had any sort of relationship, anyway.
All we did was work together briefly.
I guess there won't be a reason to see you around anymore.
Goodbye, Mr. Choi Soo Hyun.
Bastard...
I'm so tired from filming all night. Let's take a nap for just 30 minutes...
You kissed me just now, right? Right?
No, I made a mistake, and...
Are you trying to have an effect on me?
What are you talking about?
Do it one more time.
What?
It felt nice even though I was half-asleep.
It was 20 percent soft and 30 percent moist
but I'm not sure about the remainder.
So do it one more time, please.
- Really? - Yes.
I'm the type of person who can't sleep if I'm curious about something.
I have to figure out the rest to get some sleep.
Fine. I'll do it again.
You're not going to close your eyes?
Why? You kiss with your mouth. So why do I have to close my eyes?
There's this thing called "the mood."
That has to be established for you to figure out the remaining 50 percent.
And it'll only be established if you close your eyes.
So that's a condition that has to be met, yes? Okay.
That's nice.
I'm going to do it to Ms. Hye Rim.
Hey!
Enjoy!
[- "I drank it all" - "Wow"]
[Today, I found out that my patient needs to be inebriated to receive treatment.]
[Ms. Go Hye Rim, the passionate counselor of Madame Antoine Clinic.]
[Go Hye Rim's to-do list 1. Work a little and rest a lot]
[2. Drink hot citron tea (at least three cups).]
[3. Wash lower body. 4. Put on warm undergarments.]
His handwriting sucks, too...
Go Hye Rim! What are you up to?
How about a game of basketball?
The loser buys the winner a drink.
I don't know... I'm not really in a good mood.
That's why you need some exercise.
You know that exercise produces endorphins, right?
But it's not like I'd beat you in basketball, anyway.
I'm not saying let's play a real game.
If you steal the ball and score, I'll consider that a win. Okay?
All right. Let's give it a shot. Come on!
All right. One more time.
Over here!
Slam dunk! I win!
You were going all-out.
Maybe I was too easy on you.
I'll buy alcohol this time, but...
I was in a crummy mood today, so thanks for cheering me up.
In exchange for that, here. Give me your face.
I'll wipe it for you.
All done! It's nice not to have to use your hands, right?
Yeah. Now give me a shave.
Hey!
Stop drinking already. You're too drunk.
No, I'm fine!
I could drink 5,000 more!
Excuse me, m'lady! One more here, please!
Is this the Joseon Era? It's "ma'am," not "m'lady."
This won't do. I'll go buy some medicine to sober you up, so wait here.
I don't need that! My nickname is Heavy Drinker Go Hye Rim!
I can have a lot more...
[Jerk Big Bro]
Jerk Big Bro?
Oh... the only jerk big brother Seung Chan has is Choi Soo Hyun...
Then, are you... Choi Soo Hyun?
I was feeling so good, so why'd you have to freaking call?
You're with Ms. Go Hye Rim, right? I heard you two went to go drink.
That's right. What's it to you?
Hey, you bastard.
You said you were so damn busy, but you have time to call your brother
and no time to see me?
You should change your name, you bastard.
Your name isn't Choi Soo Hyun... Your name should be "Choi First!"
You said you liked me first, said let's eat together first...
and then said let's go somewhere fun first...
and now you say "bye bye" first too, you jerk?
I've let you off the hook a lot up until now
but I can't let that last offense slide.
What you did to me before was selfish!
From now... you know, I got a great pro... jo... whatever, too.
So I'm really damn busy.
So I'll never see your face again!
It's totally "bye bye," you freaking bastard!
What made you get so drunk?
Is it because of my older brother?
Because you won't be able to see him much anymore
since he pulled out of the experiment?
Why did you get her so drunk?
How did you know?
She was drunk, so she picked up your phone.
I thought that she was so inebriated that she couldn't come home properly, so...
You were so worried... you really like her a lot, don't you?
She has a really high tolerance, so how did you manage to get her that drunk?
If you keep doing inconsiderate things like this
I'll pull you out of the experiment.
I'll be careful. But she was drinking in a good mood, so I'm sure she'll be fine.
A good mood?
She drank while in a good mood?
What, did you think she'd be crying over you or something?
We played the 3-6-9 game and the Truth Game
and thanks to that, I got to know how she really feels. It was fun.
So how does she really feel, exactly?
That's a secret.
But she wasn't too concerned about you.
Go on ahead. I'm going to drop her off at home.
It's been one day since I've pulled out of the experiment.
I feel that Ms. Go Hye Rim was less affected by this than I'd thought.
And Seung Chan couldn't be happier.
Damn it.
Damn it... damn it!
Doctor. I found a man to be Male Subject A.
Already?
[Male B]
He's a 35-year-old plastic surgeon.
But he makes some time to play piano like this sometimes.
He's really good, right?
He kept refusing, but I barely managed to get him to agree.
Look, isn't he so romantic?
And apparently, those three come here every day to see him.
- No. - What?
He has a playboy aura about him.
And the fact that he plays piano so leisurely here shows that, too.
I don't like him.
It's because he owns the clinic that he has so much free time.
And he's been playing piano as a hobby since he was young...
And what kind of name is Joon?
It sounds like the name of a character from a 70's movie.
He acts too cool for his own good.
Does he think that this is a game? No.
Yes, sir...
This is a sentence-completion test.
All you have to do is write the first thing that comes to mind.
For example, here... "a true friend is..."
what would you write?
Jang Ki Hoon.
That's the name of my best friend.
Yes. You just have to fill it out like that.
But if you were to write adjectives and feelings
instead of names, that'd be better. Okay.
Then, shall we get started?
Seeing someone's home is similar to having a window to their heart.
When facing someone like Sung Oh who doesn't reveal a lot about himself
snooping like this will help.
So let's examine every little thing here.
Yes, sir.
What do you think is the common denominator among these movies?
I don't know.
You still need to study up.
[Something I want to do no matter what: Nothing]
[Something I feel like I did wrong as a child: Nothing]
[A vivid memory from when you were young]
[Wardrobe door...]
[The resplendent sunlight shining through the cracks of the wardrobe door]
Jedi, Yoda, R2D2, Chewbacca.
Yes, Doctor?
Yes.
I understand.
What are you doing?
Dr. Choi told me to start packing the things at the center.
He said to take out the most important things he has first.
Is the center... really closing down?
Yes. But don't worry.
Even if it closes down, I'll come see you every day.
I had some interest in you.
What is it that you want?
Don't feel uncomfortable. I'll help you.
You look pretty to me.
Oh my god... what's wrong with me?
I must be out of my mind.
Do you like Star Wars? I saw figurines in your room.
Yes.
Which scene is your favorite?
All of them. But...
My favorite one was when Darth Vader revealed his real identity.
Especially when he said "I am your father."
I didn't like that.
Darth Vader... he's the villain.
Is that why the only figurine you don't have is of Vader?
Let's pretend that you were the producer of that movie.
Why do you think that you would've made him into a villain?
Because he's evil.
Who is?
You're not going to tell me?
That's fine. Do whatever you want, then.
It seems that our time is up.
Um... this is the end?
Yes. It's been an hour already.
Please pay the 70,000 won consultation fee before you leave.
But you didn't even say anything... what is this?
All I am is someone who is trying to help you.
But if you don't tell me anything, I can't help you.
I'll be going.
My father.
My father... had drunken outbursts, too.
He'd come home drunk really late every night
and woke us up, even though we were sleeping.
And then he'd line us up and ask us...
what classes we'd taken that day.
"If it was science, say so. If it was math, say so. Tell me everything."
If we hesitated for even a second...
he'd slap us across the face.
Hey!
My older brother... and my older sister... and me, too.
Hey!
Hey, you bastard!
You little bastards... goddammit!
Every day was like a nightmare.
I'd be terrified, unable to sleep, wondering when my dad would come home...
and when I heard the door opening...
my legs would quiver.
Even when I hid, it was no use.
He'd search the whole house to find us and beat us.
Honey, stop it!
And if he still didn't feel better after beating us...
Get out here!
He'd go to the kitchen...
and beat my mother, blaming her for educating us badly.
It began around that time.
Ever since then, I didn't want to go to school...
and hated packed lunches...
I even grew to hate the question of what subject I like...
I wanted...
to kill my father.
So I left the house as soon as I became 20 years old.
I... I can never...
I can never forgive him!
My father...
Do you want to meet him just once?
No.
I'm not telling you to mend your relationship with him.
I'm saying this for your sake.
If you don't meet him in person, you won't be able to overcome this trauma.
You'll have to carry this heavy burden for the rest of your life.
Check his vitals.
What is it? Why is he like this?
His condition has grown really bad.
Please watch over him.
Is that you, Sung Oh?
I'm... I'm sorry.
What? What are you sorry about?
What are you sorry about?
Don't you act all pitiful on me.
You think I'll forgive you?
I'm never going to forgive you!
Just die!
Just die, damn you!
Hye Rim. Did Ji Ho kiss you, by any chance?
No?
Stop saying such ridiculous things.
How do you feel about Ji Ho?
Do you, by any chance, see him as a man...
You could just use your words! Why are you hitting me?
But, what's this? All you ever watch are romance movies.
Aren't you scared?
You used to be so scared of scary movies before.
But this is much better than you complaining while watching romantic ones.
What the hell did you say?
When did I ever?
Is it a crime to watch romantic movies? Huh?
Whoever said that? Why are you overreacting?
But... you really don't have the slightest crush on Ji Ho...
Geez! He should see you all crazy like this!
Get out!
He's the CEO of this company. He developed a game when he was 23
while starting his business
and apparently he owns tons of buildings in Gangnam.
He's really loaded...
You sure he doesn't have tons of mortgages?
If he's a businessman, he should just focus on that...
why did he go buy buildings on top of that?
Oh, you're here? You're Professor Choi Soo Hyun, right?
Wow. You seem like an elf.
Excuse me?
Oh, you don't know since you don't play games, huh?
Legolas from the Lord of the Rings is an elf.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that most fantasy game tropes stemmed from that.
Oh, I see.
Do you like cups with characters on them?
We usually serve our guests beverages
in a mug that has a character that looks similar to our guest.
What character would you like on your...
I'm sorry. The only character I know is Mickey Mouse.
Oh, that's way old-fashioned.
I'll give you ones with Legolas and Aragorn on them to match your looks.
He's too loose. He won't do.
He's not loose... it's refreshing!
Isn't it nice to encounter a CEO who's so down-to-earth?
He's acting like that on purpose to give off that vibe.
Just look... he's dressed the same as Steve Jobs.
Fake and insincere. No.
Ji Ho. I heard that you still haven't kissed my sister?
See, I told you.
She'll never see you as a man...
I'm about to go and do it now. Kiss her, I mean.
Right now?
- You can't. - Why not?
Um... that is... she didn't brush her teeth this morning.
I don't care.
She didn't even wash her face!
That's fine.
Hey. Actually... my sister doesn't really like smooches.
She only likes full-on kisses.
A full-on kiss? I've never done that before...
That's why... you need to know a lot before you do such a thing.
Want me to teach you?
Yes.
All right.
First, check the condition of your own lips.
If you have any dead skin, get rid of it now.
Two, bring your lips together.
You can't pull your lips in or put too much pressure on them.
You got the basics down now, right?
All right, now for some hands-on experience.
He's a mechanical engineering professor?
I bet he's a total bookworm.
But you're a professor, too.
What's with your lips?
They're all swollen. Did you bite your dead skin off, or something?
Yes. Someone else did.
What are you talking about?
We're here.
I'm Professor Jo Won Gook. Nice to meet you.
- I'm Choi Soo Hyun. - Please have a seat.
Even though I'm not quite qualified, your protege kept asking me, so here I am.
He's great, right? No faults, right?
If you reject him too, we won't have anyone left.
But, um... I'm curious as to why
a mechanical engineering professor decided to participate in our experiment.
I've taken on a project in which I'm engineering a machine
while using psychological principles.
But for that project, it's important to be able to understand how women think
so I decided to partake in the experiment.
I see.
[Personality, looks, character: 100 percent!]
Is there something that you don't like about me?
No, not at all. I think that you're perfect.
Not at all.
Then, can I take part in this experiment?
Yes. I'm counting on you.
Welcome!
Hello.
Would you like to order when the other party is here, or...
No, I'm here alone.
Actually...
I heard that one can get their fortune told at this cafe.
Oh, I'm the one who does that. Would you like a reading?
Did they meet, or what?
[Message from: Professor Choi]
Did you meet Ms. Go Hye Rim?
Excuse me, but what's your name?
It's Go Hye Rim.
Ah, I see.
I heard that you were a fortune teller, so I thought you'd be older...
but you're so young.
Oh, no... but what kind of fortune would you like?
You want a love fortune, right?
How did you know?
No, I don't know anything. Marie Antoinette tells me.
Is there a free toilet around here? (in French)
Yes, all of the toilets around here are free. (in French)
The thing you see on your left is the city hall. (in French)
The next course is... (in French)
How about Montmarte? (in French)
I really liked that place. (in French)
What?
I said, Montmarte is quite nice.
Weren't you talking about Paris with Marie Antoinette?
Yes, that's right!
So you speak French.
Hello. Nice to meet you. (in Spanish)
It's nice to meet you. My name is Jo Won Gook. (in Spanish)
You speak Spanish, too!
What other languages do you speak besides French and Spanish?
A bit of Italian and a bit of Japanese.
Is that all?
Yes. I'm not that good. I just know the basics.
What is this? (in German)
It's German. Marie Antoinette is from Austria, after all.
I guess she's thinking about her hometown because she wants to speak in German.
You're a bit lonely as of late, right?
A bit, yes.
And you don't have a girlfriend.
Yes. How did you know?
But you'll get one soon. A really pretty, witty...
[Message from: Professor Choi]
Please send me a response. Did you meet her? How was her reaction? Good?
Just a moment. I keep getting texts.
I'm with her right now. I'll contact you when it's over.
When it's over? You have to report right away! It's an experiment!
I guess you're quite a busy person.
No... but, um... you have quite a nice voice.
It sounds like a bird song.
I do hear that a lot.
But you're not so bad yourself.
I usually don't like academics because they're so full of themselves
but you're so shy. You're just like a young boy.
That's a compliment, right?
Thank you.
I'm actually quite quiet, but when I'm with you...
Please send texts saying yes or no at the very least.
I'm sorry. Just a moment...
I've told you that I'll contact you when I'm done.
The fact that you keep texting me is becoming a hindrance.
Hindrance? Why would I do that to a participant? Huh?
Thank you. Thanks to you, I feel a bit better.
Oh, no. All I did was tell you what Marie Antoinette told me.
From her hometown in Austria.
If it's not too much of a bother, can I come see you here again?
Of course you can! If you come three times, the fourth time's free!
Um... do you... like movies?
What?
A director I know well is premiering his movie tomorrow.
If it's all right, would you like to come with me?
Um... I'm not sure.
Um, if you feel pressured, you can refuse.
No, I do want to see the movie.
But... it's a bit sudden, so...
Please think about it, and give me a call.
[Dong Hwa University Professor Jo Won Gook]
[Termination of Position at Psychology Center]
Hello, Professor Jo. I'm Go Hye Rim from Cafe Madame Antoinette.
Oh, hello!
Oh, Ji Ho!
Give this to Mr. Choi Soo Hyun, please.
What's this?
Wow, you look so pretty today!
Are you going somewhere?
Oh, I'm meeting someone.
Who?
Someone.
Is it... the professor who came by yesterday, by any chance?
Huh? How did you know that?
Doctor. I think Male Subject A is a lot better with women than we thought.
- Huh? - He's seeing Ms. Hye Rim today.
Yes. Within a day of having met.
Maybe we set her up with someone who's too good?
It's fine. She would've gone for the guy in his thirties anyway.
If she selects him, my hypothesis will be confirmed...
Even so... this is too sudden.
She dressed really nicely, and even put on makeup...
Calm down. Right now, what we need is the proper attitude of observers...
When you were a part of the experiment, nothing huge happened, and yet...
Why did you drop out of the experiment, anyway?
What's this?
I don't know. Ms. Hye Rim asked me to give it to you.
[Termination of Position at Psychology Center]
When I feel the center really doesn't need me anymore, I'll quit on my own.
Yes, Professor Jo, it's Choi Soo Hyun.
I was wondering if you'd made plans to see Ms. Go again..
Oh... you did?
That's great.
But I have to write this in my experiment log, so...
where and when are you two meeting?
- Thank you. - Yes.
That way.
Give me a ticket behind those two.
I really like this director's movies. He's your friend?
Yes. We were in the film club together in college.
Wow, that's similar to me! I was in the drama club!
Oh, really? It seems that the two of us have quite a lot in common...
Anyway... it seems that the two of us have quite a lot in common.
What kinds of movies do you like?
Romantic ones, like "Love Actually."
Wow, I like that movie too!
Here's the Americano that you ordered...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry!
Excuse me.
- Yes? - The check, please.
Of course, just a moment.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.
Excuse me. Please show us your social security card.
Excuse me?
Um, I...
Please show us your ID.
- Geez... - This guy...
Let's go inside, shall we?
Yes, Doctor?
From this moment on, I'm resuming my role as Male Subject A.
What?
Call Professor Jo and find out where they are, right now.
Oh my god!
Who the hell are you?
Let go of that hand right now.
Mr. Soo Hyun?
Professor Choi?
Let's go!
Professor Choi!
What are you doing?
You two know each other?
Why did Professor Jo ask me on a date?
I guess you both are fortune tellers.
What the hell?
You don't have to give me an answer right now.
[I like you] It just felt frustrating to keep it in.
Game set.
I don't have any feelings for you whatsoever.
My answer is "no."
I can't falter here. My plan isn't over yet.
How much is it to rent out this entire cafe?
He's so good to my sister!
Are you okay? You're not hurt?
Did Professor Choi ask you to partake in an experiment, by any chance?
Don't you dare look at me directly, bastard!
Ji Ho!
I have a third-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido!
Are you uncomfortable anywhere?
Piss off!
Hey, where are you?
Are you, by any chance...
Do... you know me?
Say "ah!"
Why are you being so nice to me today?
Want to play the Truth Game?
- How tall are you? - 185 centimeters.
- Favorite color? - Blue.
Jjamppong.
What's the title of the experiment being done on me?
Madame Antoine.
Soo Hyun is doing an experiment called Madame Antoine on me...
Tell me it isn't true.
Because you've grown to like me so much?
Yes.
I was being honest.
Tell me that you really like me, and that
you weren't just acting like you did because of the experiment.
