Episode 3
How did you know that I was the one who sent the flowers?
The musical theater.
That time... Then, how did you feel sitting in the musical theater by yourself?
At that time, I felt as if I had been stood up by other people
and the only person who knew the location of the musical theater was my younger sister, Yoo Rim.
If there's one other person, it's probably the one who sent the bouquet of flowers.
Is that why you were keeping this place under surveillance?
No, I wanted to see what you were doing and then I followed you.
It's my first time following someone, but it was thrilling.
Now, it's your turn. What is your deal?
You send a bouquet of roses, on top of that, playing countdown with blue roses.
You send musical tickets, but don't even show up.
This time, it's a letter.
What were you planning on doing with this?
I didn't have the courage to appear before you, so I'm just leaving.
However, though you're alone, you won't be lonely because my heart will be with you.
Rather than your heart, you actually being here is indeed great. I'm not lonely anymore.
Now, open up and tell me.
Why did you do such annoying things?
What should I say?
I don't see it.
I don't know if you're just extremely different from me,
or if your ability to hide your emotions is astounding. Tell me truthfully.
Why are you doing these things to me?
There's no way out. There's no other way.
We see each other at the center every day, and it's not like we have a good relationship either,
but what is the reason for you doing all of this to me?
I like you.
You like me? Choi Soo Hyun likes me, Go Hye Rim?
Why? You might as well say a cat fell in love with a dog.
If I think about it, I don't think I was solely antagonistic towards you.
I had some interest in you, Go Hye Rim.
You're pretty, in my eyes.
Keep talking. I'll listen.
I said I like you. What more do I have to say?
Look straight into my eyes and tell me. How do you feel about me?
I like you.
Liar.
For someone who sends 10 flower bouquets saying they passionately love me, your eyes are so dull. It doesn't make sense.
And above all, the musical. You stood me up and still had the audacity to ask me how it felt?
And from the person who stood me up. Choi Soo Hyun, are you a pervert?
There are two sides to me, human Choi Soo Hyun and psychologist Choi Soo Hyun.
At that time, it must have been psychologist Choi Soo Hyun, innocently asking questions.
Then, what did human Choi Soo Hyun do at that time?
I was liking you, Miss Go Hye Rim. What more do I have to say for you to believe me?
You write in a journal, don't you?
Starting tomorrow, write a journal and get examined by me everyday.
Pardon?
I know it's a childlish method, but still, I'll be able to believe you if you do at least that.
I'm someone who got in trouble because I refused a journal examination since elementary school.
If you can't do that, then I guess it can't be helped.
I'll go tell the police that a stalker was following me.
Excuse me, Go Hye Rim.
Do you want to write a journal or not?
I like you.
Figures. Look at me.
Drawing Journal
Gosh, Jeez! Macho man, ah macho man.
Cartoons and movies...
It became famous after this actor did it.
Doctor. Does that work?
They like it, of course they do.
That stupid wall hitting. Only crazy people do that.
No, it works.
Everyone has their own personal space.
It's a space that is only allowed to lovers and family members.
But when someone enters their personal bubble, that person gets flustered and caught off guard.
Ah... Then I could use this on Hye Rim noona...
Don't do anything like that!
That is... If you want to keep a psychologist's pride, at the very least.
By the way... Journal... Journal.
Drawing Journal
December 7. Today's weather is clear. Today, I tried to go to the gym.
I felt great. End.
December 8. Today, I studied about narcissistic personality disorder.
According to the reinforcement principle—
December 9. I listened to Toy's song.
The lyrics were so good, I'm writing them here.
Many people, busy greetings. I wonder how long it's been since we got together.
White dress...
What's with these shoes? Go change them. Go change them!
And you brought me rags to wear.
How am I supposed to wear this and sing? You're my anti-fan, right?
Director! Please change the song.
What's with John Denver? It sounds old.
It's because it's the 70s/80s Hit Songs Special today.
Your outfit is nice. This is just a rehearsal so let's hurry up and finish.
But still...
It's just the rehearsal. I said let's hurry up.
Play the music.
Why is she like that? Is she sick?
Hey, hey. Why is Joo Ni like that?
Unni, what's the matter?!
- Miss Joo Ni!- Unni!
Miss Joo Ni! Are you okay?
- Miss Joo Ni! Miss Joo Ni!- Hey, hey, hey. What's the matter?
A singer? I don't want to.
It's Joo Ni. You should know her. She's very famous.
If she's famous, then I don't want to even more. She's going to demand special treatment just because she's a celebrity.
She has histrionic personality disorder.
I think she came to us because every other place already rejected her case.
If we reject her too, then she'll have no where else to go.
But there's no reason to take every person who comes to us.
I'm only running this center to carry out experiments on various disorders.
The symptoms are sitomania (abnormal craving for food) and difficulty breathing.
In particular, whenever she hears John Denver's music, she collapses from shock.
- John Denver?- Yes.
Specifically, when she listens to "Annie's Song." Isn't it fascinating?
Whoa!
Miss Joo Ni!
Oh, Unni! Miss Joo Ni!
Miss Joo Ni, hello!
Wow, she's so pretty!
So pretty!
Nice to meet you. I'm a fan!
You were a baseball player, weren't you? You're cute.
Sit here.
No, it's okay.
Please fill out this questionnaire. After ten minutes, you'll receive a consultation in that room over there.
Hey, you're cuter. Sit here!
Hello. I'm an advisor at this center. Could I please get your autograph? My daughter is a fan of yours.
Where did you say the consultation room was again?
Over there.
Is there an incident you can think of that happened most recently?
Are the people here allowed to do this?
You're all so good looking!
Please answer the question first. Otherwise, I'll take it that you don't want my consultation.
Oh my. Doctor, you're so charming.
The thing I can most recently think of...
Let's see... meeting you?
And what else is there?
What is she doing? Showing off her breasts and making funny sounds.
She has histrionic personality disorder.
Look at her. Even when she pulls her hair back, it's very stimulating.
They call it histrionic personality disorder because of the exaggerated motions and speech.
She has to receive love and attention from everyone in order to be satisfied.
Then you're saying she's now seducing Choi Soo Hyun?
Most likely.
If she gets rejected even by one person, she'll get hurt badly.
And we have to take all that?
No, if we take in all that and show her that we understand her, she'll think that everything she's doing is right.
Her symptoms will worsen.
So you have to set boundaries straight while keeping a distance.
Why don't you like November?
Because it's autumn.
When you hear John Denver's song, "Annie's Song," what's the first thing that comes to mind?
What about you doctor?
I asked you first.
Aigoo.
Our Dr. Choi also seems to be shaken up.
Why?
Men have weak tolerance for that.
If they see a beautiful woman, their frontal lobe goes into shock.
So the brain stops functioning for a moment.
Our Doctor Choi Soo Hyun is a man, too.
Noona!
What?
- You want coffee?- Okay.
- She said you're not supposed to get in on the paper, you punk.- Oh.
Watch. You're supposed to do it like this.
That's not it, either. You have to draw a thin circle.
Who is that ahjumma?
She's someone who often comes and goes in this cafe.
It looks like she's enjoying herself too much.
How can there be something like this?
Is this a cowboy movie or something?
Where are all your customers?
How old are you? (dropping honorifics)
I'm older than you by ten years.
That's what I'm saying, an ahjumma like you should know her place. Is it ok for you to go around seducing men?
Or not?
She has to receive love from everyone to be satisfied.
If she gets rejected even by one person, she'll get hurt badly.
I work here. I have to conduct business, so please leave quickly.
How much do you make a day?
For such meager earnings, I can compensate you. What's the big deal?
Is there no person responsible here?
I'm talking to you right now!
Look at me and talk.
The menu and the wine list, please. (Le menu et la carte des vins, s'il vous plaît)
Which is the most ordered dish in this restaurant? (Quel est le plat le plus commandé dans ce restaurant?)
Then, a duck confit and a cookie, please. (Alors, un confit de canard et un cookie s'il vous plait.)
Wow, it's delicious! (Ouh la la, c'est très bon!)
What do you think you're doing now?
I'm called Madame Antoine.
I'm carrying the spirit of the late French Queen, Marie Antoinette, inside of me.
But if you talk to me like this, Antoinette can get angry...
Crazy wench!! What nonsense!
Hey! What are you?!
Ah my hair! Please stop this woman.
S-s-stop what?
Just because I told her the coffee tastes bad and asked her to make it again,
she grabbed my hair!
I— I only— Ah, this is just unbelievable! I'm speechless!
You know right? I...
I know Noona. You're not that kind of person.
Are you on her side, too?
Are you too going to take her side?
Since I don't know the whole details exactly, I can't say anything objectively about the situation...
Doctor!
I feel really wronged!
This woman grabbed my hair,
You know that I wouldn't right? How can I do that to a client!
Since you know you shouldn't do that to clients, why did you?
Hyung!
Isn't that right?
Doctor! As expected, you're the only person who understands me.
I feel so wronged.
Our counseling session finished a while ago. Why are you still here? You should go back.
Thank you, I'll come again.
I know that! I know that for a person who is receiving counseling sessions we should do our best to protect them but...
That's why, let it go.
Still, is it easy to just let it go like that?
I'm a human too! But in front of all those people...
Don't you think the doctor totally fell for her during their counseling session!
That will never happen. Don't worry,
Doctor has never liked anyone before.
What? Are you serious?
That is what makes him famous in the field of psychology.
"A psychologist doesn't know love. He's never loved anyone."
I like you.
Then is there a possibility that he might actually start to like someone?
I'm not sure, but for 35 years there hasn't been anyone. So the possibility of that suddenly happening almost doesn't exist.
Then it means that all of that were lies!
What is?
I know why you are here.
Earlier what I did as a counselor, I had to support my client psychologically.
I already know about that,
Choi Soo Hyun, I heard you've never liked anyone before,
but why did you say that to me?
Who told you that?
You don't need to know that. Why are you lying to me?
I never lied to you, it was sincere.
A person who is that sincere would write his journal this way when I asked him to?
- I even worked hard on drawing those—- Forget it.
I don't know about other matters, but I want to know. Why did you lie to me?
All this time why did you play games with me? I must know the answers. Why did you do that?
Tell me you like me, sincerely!
Tell me you like me, sincerely!Make me believe you like meLove me sincerely!Convince meAssure me
What do you want?
What would you like me to do for you?
A d-d-date.
See you tomorrow at 1pm.
What on earth did I say just now?
Hey, is there nothing else?
Reading books and studying everyday, aren't you sick and tired of it?
- Noona, you've never dated before, right? - What?
The ways you taught me are useless.
You are using me as an excuse now?
Hey, hit the points properly. Girls will fall head over heels for you.
How was that just now?
I saw it on TV. Does it work?
You— That TV! Don't watch that kind of stuff on TV!
It's all full of men's misunderstanding.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You! I'm saying that only works for men they like.
This young thing, so arrogant. You'll get slapped!
- Really?- Of course!
If that's not it, then forget it.
Aren't you going to follow me?
Where are we going now?
The movie theater? Restaurant? Or...
What were you looking forward to? We're going to the real estate agency to do an investigation on the client.
Are you talking about Joo Ni?
Why do we need to investigate her? Don't we need to just interview and run tests?
People who earn money by conning others can do that.
But in psychology, when you counsel someone, the more you know about the client, the better.
Also, those with histrionic personality disorder don't express their true thoughts easily.
We need to do a proper background check.
She was born here and lived here until she was seventeen.
How were her parents?
They were really hardworking.
Her mom was busy working in the market.
Her father stayed home looking after the kids.
Her father got along with the kids so well.
He even fulfilled their mother's role.
That's why all three kids succeeded, including Joo Ni.
It seems we pretty much have the cause for her histrionic personality disorder.
Is there something that could be a problem?
They said her mother was hardly at home.
If there is a lack of attention from the mom, kids will seek it from the dad.
But since there were three kids, they needed to compete against each other.
Therefore, to gain the sole attention from her dad, she used aegyo (acting cute) and charm.
Like Joo Ni, today.
But still, that doesn't mean all those kids become like her.
Of course, you need to have a tendency.
Joo Ni is a celebrity, so she would've prided herself on it.
But, in the end it's love.
She hasn't received much love as a child, so she is trying to receive it all now.
Then what about you?
You never fell in love before. That means you've closed the door for love. What is the cause?
Mom!
- What's wrong? - It's nothing.
It's not nothing. Did you get stung by a bee?
What should we eat? Choose among bœuf bourguignon, snail, mushrooms and eggplant.
I want Soon Dae Soup. (blood sausage soup).
Ok. Escargot.
Isn't it very expensive here?
I hear it's a Michelin three star restaurant and that American CEO's eat here when they come to Korea.
Don't worry about it. I have enough money to buy you three meals a day here.
It seems many married couples come here.
Younger couples could also come, but it's somewhat burdensome.
Those people liking each other, do you think it will last until they die?
Love hormones last for only three years. Everybody is living through the affection they have for each other.
Then I guess my hormones' expiration date was short.
Or there wasn't any affection to begin with.
Someone once said...
A divorced person is one who has shattered the most precious relationship in the world.
Liking someone again is scary for me.
But on the other hand, I also want to like someone again. I'm really ridiculous, aren't I?
That's why when you said you liked me, I wanted to make sure of that by asking you to write in a journal.
If things went wrong again, I felt I would be completely destroyed.
I'll cut it for you.
But seeing you today, you seemed to be a bit of a good person.
Ah that's right! The experiment you are doing on me, why are you doing it?
Are you ok?
Yes.
I'm sorry, I was flustered— I mean I'm not good with knives.
It's ok, I'll consider it as getting a beef juice massage.
But, what were we talking about just now?
Well... Nothing really important.
The lights went out?
Yeah, there was a blackout.
They're fixing it right now, but I don't know when the lights will come back on.
The elevator isn't working either, so you have to walk up to reach your car.
It's ok, you go ahead first.
On December 12th, I had my first personal encounter with my experimental subject, Go Hye Rim.
When using a means of transportation, seeing that she has thoughts of going to a movie or restaurant, her interest seems to be growing.
She showed progress towards becoming my lover,
especially when I attempted physical contact in the parking structure.
That's why when you told me that you liked me, I wanted to be sure by asking you to write in a journal.
If things went wrong again, I felt as if I would be completely destroyed.
Cautionary note: personal feelings.
The most important experiment of my life is on the line. Always keep it in mind!
Hey, Madame Go.
Oh you came!
What are you thinking about so absent-mindedly?
Just, hands...
Hands? What about them?
Noona! Do you have time later this evening?
Why?
There is something I want to show you. Baseball.
Ok! After dinner around 7pm. Is it okay with you?
Yes, sir!
What should I do?
Should I just go back to my room? Or should I just pass by?
But, I haven't even talked to him lately...
How do I start talking to him?
Mr. Choi Seung Chan, does someone as young as you not have any plans?
Excuse me?
Omo! What's wrong with me? Why am I scolding him so suddenly?
At your young age, seeing you sitting here at the counter not doing anything makes me feel stifled.
Don't you have any plans or dreams?
It's been only one year since I quit being a pro baseball player.
One year is a long rest period. When you're at your prime in your twenties,
it's not enough time even if you run. What is this?
I'm sorry.
What's wrong with me? Am I his mom?
Why am I suddenly yelling and making a fuss about this? Stop!
Do your best, ok?
Yes.
Cool isn't it? I told them to turn on all the lights.
Nice. So now I'm actually going to learn baseball from a pro baseball player, right?
Yes. As you learn, let's play one game.
Play baseball? Just the two of us? Not nine players?
There's a way. Now, catch!
Why are you always sighing like that?
Me? I did?
Yes, often. Why? Is there anything wrong?
I got scolded today by Doctor Bae Mi Ran.
She asked me if it was okay for a young guy like me to live carelessly like this.
But her words are still bothering me.
Because of my injury I can't play baseball again.
Being a professional baseball coach or an umpire is impossible.
Do you absolutely need to do something?
In our lives, there are times when we don't feel like doing anything.
Forcing oneself to do something isn't the answer.
You're kind of cool, Noona.
Did you just figure that out now?
Yes, Chairman.
Did you find out anything about the experiment I told you about earlier?
He did an experiment on me.
It's an experiment about someone's ideal type and their immune system or whatnot.
Ideal type kind of experiment, that won't be it.
There's no way that a world-renowned women's psychologist would do such an experiment.
Choi Soo Hyun agreed to do an experiment on 500 women later,
but, they say they're in the middle of preliminary experiments. Because he's not telling me, there's no way for me to find out.
You can ask him yourself. You said he's doing this while receiving funding from you.
Don't you know his personality? If he is bothered even for a little bit, he will turn around and
hand over the license, patent, business rights, and everything to someone else.
I guess. Then, what do you want me to do?
Madame Antoine Psychology Consultation Center
Counseling Room
Choi S.H.
Take another look into what kind of experiment he is doing right now.
I'll give you the salary you wanted in one lump sum.
Cuckoo bird
Why? What is it?
You see, the folder name was a little strange. Can't I look?
Oh, this. Do I even need to tell you? It's porn.
I like porn too! Let me watch it together with you.
This one is too vulgar so you can't.
I will bring you an elegant new release later.
Fine.
But you, you are hiding it too desperately.
Madame Antoine ProjectPilot Study Blueprints
What?
I'm asking if we have to continue with this experiment. I'm feeling too uneasy about it.
What about the time when you were excited about the motorcycle? Why the sudden change now?
We're continuing to deceive Noona Hye Rim. Can't I really quit?
- Then pay the fees for the experiment. - What?!
Article 7 of the experiment's contract. In the event that the participant quits in the middle of the experiment,
the participant will pay 50% of the entire cost of the experiment.
It's over 20 million won.
By the way, yesterday me and Noona had a lot of fun.
What did you do?
Would you like to drink a cup of coffee?
More importantly, what did you and Seung Chan do yesterday?
What? Well, we just...
Welcome...
When did you enter Korea? No, how did you know I was here?
I heard from Do Gyung.
You met Do Gyung? Why would you, Oppa?
I need to talk to you about Do Gyung.
- Get out.- Hye Rim...
I'll change clothes and come out so stay outside.
Why? Why did Do Gyung's father, that bastard, come?
He said he came because of Do Gyung.
He's about to tell me, but I'm too anxious. Do Gyung couldn't be sick, right?
Then he would have told you already, he's also her father. Let's go inside.
It's been a long time. Sister-in-Law came too.
I don't want to hear "Sister-in-law" from you, so get to the point.
Why did you come? What is it about Do Gyung?
Do Gyung says that she wants to study together with us.
"Us?" Are you talking about you and that woman?
Yes. While coming back and forth to eat, they seem to have gotten very close...
I told you not to go near Do Gyung!
The audacity of a man who left when his daughter was two years old! I told you not to see her!
- Still, I know for sure that she's studying in the same country. How could I do that?-Aigoo.
Did a man who cares so much for his daughter abandon an infant and run away?
I don't need to listen to anymore of this. I can directly confirm it with Do Gyung.
This... Do Gyung asked me to give it to you.
Mom, by the time you are reading this letter, Dad must have told you.
You must have been very surprised, but I
want to live with Dad until I graduate from high school.
Dad and that ahjumma treat me very well and I really like you Mom.
These days, I think it's holding all of us back,
Holding us back?! By any chance, did you make her say that?
This is something Do Gyung brought up first.
All we did was support her. We never got involved with our opinions.
Still...
but I also like Dad and Ahjumma.
It may not seem like this to you, but to me, she is not such a bad person.
She treats me really well. She's a good person, enough for me to want to live with her.
- Unni!- I'm just going to think about it alone for a moment.
I understand how you feel, Mom.
I know why you made her the talk of the town, told me not to even look at her, I understand why you did that.
But Mom, at times, a mom like that was burdensome.
Thank you.
Unni! By any chance, was Unni here?
What is going on with Go Hye Rim? I know someone came from abroad.
Her face turned white as soon as she saw him and she left. What happened after that?
I'm not sure. Since it's her personal business, I'm not sure if I should be telling you.
Yoo Rim, I am a psychologist. I'm also a counselor.
If not to me, then to whom are you going to talk to about resolving this?
Do Gyung
Mom?
Yes. What have you been doing?
I saw your letter,
but why were you worrying so much that you wrote a letter? You could have just told me.
Did you think I'd say no?
I'm sorry, Mom.
What is there to be sorry about? It's not like you're never going to see me for the rest of your life.
The one who is feeling sorrier is me.
I told that nice woman off, and made it awkward and hard for you.
I'm really a bad mom, right?
Mom, you know that I really love you a lot, right?
Of course, I do! That's why I'm letting you go like this.
Mom, but I have to go to school now.
Oh that's right! It's morning over there, right? Sorry for keeping you.
Let's talk again, Mom.
Okay.
You did well, Hye Rim. You did well.
You're praiseworthy.
Alright. I wanted to receive love from people.
I was also anxious about my popularity going down at any given moment.
But is that so wrong? Everyone wants to be loved.
But Unni... first it was brother-in-law, now it's even Do Gyung,
lost the people she loved the most to the person she despised the most.
Her heart must really be a mess right now.
Miss Go Hye Rim!
I heard what happened from Miss Yoo Rim.
This time, I'll buy you Italian food, so let's go out.
Choose among calzone, bistecca alla fiorentina, and ossobuco.
Do you think you could go somewhere with me tomorrow?
Where?
My ex-husband is leaving tomorrow.
In my heart, I don't feel like seeing him off or whatever,
but because he is the person who will be living together with Do Gyung from now on.
But he will be appearing together with his wife...
Because the fact I'm still alone looks so miserable...
I'll go with you.
I'll dress nicely and be right next to you to make you appear cool.
I'm really a fool, aren't I?
Even at this moment, I'm only thinking about maintaining my dignity.
I'm not doing her a favor. It's just for the sake of the experiment.
Because I have to win her heart.
I'm sorry, but I'll meet him alone.
I feel I'm being too cowardly for not being able to take care of this by myself.
I'm sorry for making you travel back and forth.
- I'll just stay far away. - No, it's okay...
No, you're not even close to being okay right now.
Resentment, jealousy, anger, rage. It's plastered all over your face. When all that explodes, you'll become a mess.
I should at least observe you from a distance.
Thanks for granting permission.
I didn't come out because I'm fond of you.
However, because you're the person who'll be taking care of Do Kyung,
I felt it was common courtesy to come out and see you.
Okay.
Is she your wife?
Yes.
Why? What are you going to do?
Don't worry. I won't hit her.
My Do Kyung is allergic to shrimp.
Oh, I see.
Please be careful when you prepare food for her.
She studies well but once she plays, she does it till the very end.
Please crackdown on that as well.
And what else was there?
Right, her lips get chapped easily but she hates putting on lip balm.
Please see if she applied that well everyday.
The rest I've written down here.
It should be helpful once you read it.
Also,
I ask you to please take good care of my Do Gyung.
Please look upon her favorably. I beg of you.
Fine. I'll grant you your wish.
What?
If it's not something outrageous like giving you 100 million won, I'll grant it for you.
This is not an opportunity that comes very often so...
Dance with me.
What?
Just like Maria and Captain von Trapp did in The Sound of Music, dance with me.
Or, like in Roman Holiday,
show me Rome like Audrey Hepburn.
Or, the way Colin Firth did in Love Actually,
propose to me in a busy cafe.
You might as well say "let's do a circus."
It's just for laughs.
To me, those movies gave me a lot of comfort.
Thank you for being with me so that I wouldn't feel lonely today.
I'm going to stay, eat, drink, and play a little longer here.
Thank you for today.
Yes, is being my answer.
Easy question.
What did you say?
Yes, of course.
Bravo!
Come outside for a moment.
What is it?
Do I have to follow the movies?
Ahh... what I said earlier today?
Don't mind what I said. I was just...
Do you often miss your train?
Yes, quite often. Most of the time, I am not really precise.
And do you always find someone to bring you back?
No, no. I sleep in Deauville.
Non, she doesn't work really well.
Oh, yes. Yes, she is clever...
Do Gyung,
are you having a good time meeting with your father and his lady?
Your mom has also gotten some peace of mind.
And I
am not entirely sure yet, but
I kind of think I met a good person.
And above all that,
I've been really happy lately, because
all of the men around me in my life treat me so well. I think they've all fallen for me.
Figures. I was practically a queen back then.
I played with men, you know.
Hurry, hurry!
Oh my goodness!
Wow, it's so refreshing! Ji Ho, try some tteokbokki! (spicy Korean rice cakes)
- Me too.- Oh, you want some too? Say ahh!
It's so spicy.
Did you have a great time?
We're sorry we're late. Our next appointment isn't here yet, right?
Go Hye Rim. Clean the floors here.
Why are you making her clean? I'll do it.
You go and help Teacher Bae Mi Ran organize her files.
You said you're an advisor, but what are you doing?
You're right. I'm an advisor, not a cleaning lady.
But you never do any work. If you're ashamed about going out and having fun, the least you can do is clean.
Why is your older brother like that at times?
Please understand. You know how he can be.
He treats me well and then insults me. Why is he so hot and cold?
Fine. I'll clean to the point where it's blinding.
Give it to me. I'll do it.
Forget it. I'm going to clean it until it sparkles so much that he turns blind.
Hyung, aren't you too relaxed?
Or, do you have another plan in mind?
What?
You know we went to the skating rink with Noona Hye Rim.
It was really fun. What are you going to do about it?
There's a fishing pond.
This is a natural fishing pond.
This is a place designed to catch a fish once every three times.
Where would people gather more?
So random...
- This one. - Why?
Once every three times. That's no fun.
This is more thrilling.
Exactly. Thrill. In difficult terminology, also known as intermittent reinforcement.
People don't like things that are routine and ordinary.
Instead, when they don't know if they'll catch something,
when their chances are a impossible, that's when they get sucked in.
What does that have to do with...
That's exactly why bad guys are popular.
It's because the chances of getting them are impossible.
Hyung, are you imitating a bad guy right now?
Another lesson: If you give a girl candy every day,
then to her, you only become someone who gives her candy all the time. At most,
a candy dispenser?
But if you treat her wrong daily and give her candy once,
she will think:
"Ahh, this person finally gave me candy."
The bells will ring, flower petals will fall, and everything becomes rosy, as the
game is set.
Wow, Hyung, since when did you have that kind of plan...
Make a hospital appointment for next Monday. I'm going to examine Go Hye Rim.
- You're going to examine the results already? - An exam in the middle of round one.
You're confident? You didn't give her candy yet.
It's called an FMRI. It analyzes brain activity.
As you lie down, occasionally, the image of a person will appear.
You just have to remain calm.
What test is this again?
It's to see the relationship between your ideal man and your immune system.
Is this the only examination you perform at the center?
There are others. We are doing similar experiments with frogs and a cockroaches.
Then... I'm on the same level as a frog and a cockroach.
For you, aside from the FMRI test, we'll also be examining your skin condition, your heart rate,
and the amount your pupils dilate.
It's not much, so just think of it as a physical examination.
Oh, one moment.
The string is untied.
Why?
He just fed her candy.
Have a good examination.
You call yourself a person?
- How can you do that right before the examination— - Shut your mouth.
Then what? What are you going to see with this?
If you like someone, does your brain turn into a heart?
- Yeah. - Really?
It might not be a heart, but it turns red.
When you look at a picture of a person you like, you react instantly and your brain turns red.
Where? The entire brain?
No, there's a place called the hypothalamus.
Because it's the area that controls instinctive behavior, it's also called the loving area of the brain.
It's also the central location of the love hormone called dopamine.
So if we show her a picture of us...
Then the activity level of that region increases, and turns red.
The person it turns most red for is the one she likes the most.
This is the hypothalamus.
Okay. Show her the pictures.
What? That's Benedict Cumberbatch!
This isn't fair. How are we supposed to win against him?
I just put him in for comparison. He's just an actor she likes.
Wow.
You saw it, right? This is how the color changes.
Now, let's start officially.
Show your heart,
Go Hye Rim, who you like the most.
♪ It's my magic ♪
Madame Antoine~ Preview ~
Now, let's start officially.
This is the image of a man working.
A dazzling white shirt and a slightly loosened necktie.
I usually use informal speech to all women. Go Hye Rim, can you press that button?
Do you like intelligent guys?
My IQ is 210.
I'm going to die.
I think I came to love you.
Did you take on a noona role with me right now?
Hey! Choi Seung Chan!
Okay.
Joo Ni is extremely jealous of you right now.
I'm the crazy one!
I want everyone to love me.
Do you think your mom can also do that?
Can I put everything down and like someone?
I'll also give you the salary you wanted, in one lump sum.
Who's inside? Hurry up and answer.
A light has started to turn on in my neurons.
