In my 20s, I hung out with the same friends.
Naively untrendy.
I like movies.
They’re looking at us.
When guys looked at me, I thought they were keen on me.
- He’s coming! - What do we do?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Can you be quieter?
And even...
Hey, you! Why're you out late?
Me? You know me?
A woman is unafraid staying out late?!
Am I right?
Mister, you're drunk.
- Go home. - You grabbed me?
- Go to bed. - Oh my!
This fella hit me? This jerk's too much.
You’re dead.
Jerk, I’ll sleep when it's time...jerk!
Ridiculous guy!
He shouldn't drink!
Thank you!
Not nostalgic about special encounters,
believing better ones will come along.
In my 30s, I’m used to living alone.
Shopping alone is nice.
Eating alone is relaxing.
TV alone is better.
On occasional eye contact with a guy..
"Is something on my face?" I check out of habit.
After living anxiously for so long...
I even fantasised a lover in unthinkable moves.
- Be honest here. - What?
- What did you imagine? - What?
Hugging me? Kissing me?
Oh! Really! Ridiculous!
So do it for real?
I can give a free kiss.
Forget it; I don’t need it. Move!
You don’t want it?
Let go! Really...
- Stop this rot. - What are you doing?
Then he appeared
with perfect timing and perfect looks.
Not letting her go?
Huh?
This lady said to let go.
Ah! You misunderstood.
It's wicked to bully someone.
Go before I call the police!
This man’s not bad.
You misunderstood.
This lady and I are acquainted.
What? Say something.
Thanks for helping me. I was so scared.
Shall I call the police?
No need. I wasn’t harmed.
I say, you’re too young to live like this.
I’ll walk you to the road.
I am 33 today.
Kindness and thoughtfulness aren't love, but...
The road will do.
If you live near, I can take you home.
I tested if he was my Prince Charming.
No, it’s fine. Thanks for helping.
- You’ll be fine? - Sure.
First, I must step back.
If he offers a lift again,
this man is my fate.
Alright. Take care going home.
Excuse me.
It's fine if he's not my fate.
I'd like to buy you dinner as thanks.
May I get your contact info?
It’s fine. A meal isn't justified. Bye.
How'd you let a cooked duck escape?
Still here?
You left me. I thought you hooked him.
Why are you still here?
Such a waste!
- Let's end what I started. - Rubbish.
You clearly got excited
thinking I'd pounce on you.
I didn't.
So why's your face red?
You’re riling me. My blood pressure’s up.
Oh, true?
Around you, I wanna die.
Please, Kang Tae Bong, let’s break up.
Go your way; I’ll go mine.
Oh, really!
I see I butted in before.
I said we knew each other.
We’re barely acquainted.
You don’t need my contact info.
Wow! A fine car. What a waste!
You! If such a guy never shows up again, you're dead.
What?
You made me miss my destiny.
So be prepared.
Got it?
How can you say it's over?
I’m unconventional.
Let’s talk it out.
I'll accept anything.
What’s the problem?
I’m sick of it.
Can’t be. We only met 4 times.
Did we? That'd do it.
I’ll pay the hotel bill.
Sick of me?
I’m sick of your fated love talk.
Ajumma, one warm milk, please.
No, his timing was perfect.
Isn’t it fate?
Many regret focusing on fate.
You belittle destiny.
Money for the milk.
I trust sexual attraction.
Or why have pre-marital sex?
Or why do couples divorce?
It's important. It controls marriages.
But if body response is first, it’s not love.
Dump your bias for purity.
The soul is ugly and vulgar.
You measure guys up.
Tall or short. Educated or not. Has or hasn’t.
Calculating.
But the body is simple. Like or don’t.
Which is purer?
You haven’t experienced sexual attraction?
What?
Of course not.
It's important.
If he performs badly, he must buy his own breakfast.
Have a good day.
Unni...!
- How much? - $2. - Oh my!
Here it is.
Excuse me.
We're over? Fine, I can end it.
But you'll regret it. Where's another guy like me?
No trouble, fun, cool, single.
I’m good with women, but I ignore old girlfriends.
What's he saying?
Don’t regret it. Stay.
I won’t regret it. Let go.
When I let go your hand, we're over.
Is that okay?
It’s alright.
You’ll be lonely.
That’s my problem. Let go.
If I can’t let you go,
what will you do?
I just let go.
Ouch!
How about coffee?
I’ll say this as a friend.
From dating in high school till now,
no-one got sick of me.
She got sick of you?
Don't spread it around.
I’m a sensitive man.
I know. But how'd she do that?
Ah! I have no heart to work
or interest in other women.
This had never happened to me. I'm a total failure.
I may never love again.
My life will be destroyed.
Don’t be too down. If Seon Joo is your soul-mate,
- you’ll be together. - And if not?
Then it's not fated. Forget her.
- I'll recover? - Sure; no recovery is impossible.
Really? I've never been dumped before.
I understand...
That’s why it’s hard.
Don’t worry.
You’ll meet a better woman.
I’m grateful. The impact on me is too great.
The man I thought so cool is like a hurt child.
My hand's cold.
I can’t let my guard down.
My only aim is to get courage from a friend.
- Hold on. - What courage?
Hold still. It's soft to rest on.
You deserve to be dumped.
I need courage.
Why look here?
Then he appeared again.
Hey, no, he's just a colleague.
But why are you here?
Here! Attention!
Let me introduce the person promoting a new range
of "The Beauty" brand: Representative Eom Ki Joong.
Hello. I’m Eom Ki Joong.
We're honoured to work with Handa on our new "Beauty" line.
Eom Ki Joong handles brands from Europe.
I believed it was destiny.
Handa will launch it.
Oh Dal Ja. What are you doing?
She handles new product launches: Oh Dal Ja.
Hi. Merchandiser Oh Dal Ja.
I’m Eom Ki Joong. I rely on you.
No, I'll rely on you.
Lipstick... teeth!
Here are our team.
Did I turn him off?
I know one test.
If he turns to me in 3 seconds, he’s interested in me.
One.
Two.
Three!
Three...
My whole body was screaming...
that man is drawn to me.
E03: A ROMANTIC INQUIRY INTO A POWERFUL, FATED ENCOUNTER
Attracted to you?
Of course. Completely.
So he said he’s besotted?
Must he say it aloud? Can’t I tell?
So it’s your feeling?
This afternoon, there’s a product meeting.
We might have dinner.
Then we'd have a drink
and go with the mood.
Did you talk privately?
Among colleagues, how can we?
Not once?
We exchanged glances.
Only glances?
Small touches only we know.
I went match-making.
Thank you, Ms. Oh. Thank you.
Please have coffee.
Thank you.
Ms. Oh!
Yes.
And?
And small jokes we share.
Excuse me.
So cheeky.
What else?
And we’re telepathic.
- I’m sorry. - Sit here.
You’re late.
Oh my, you’re in couple wear.
Oh, that’s right.
It's a newly-wed look.
Oh my! He's shy.
- That much. - That’s nothing.
- "Nothing"? - He's not keen on you.
Hey! How'd you know?
A man keen on a woman
finds ways to talk or meet.
I heard nothing like that.
You’re gushing alone.
Hey! Forget it, bye.
Angry again?
Learn to accept truth from others.
Forget it.
You took money as my fake lover;
I won’t discuss my destiny with you. Hang up.
You called me.
Jinx.
Was I too direct?
This product launch will begin with a show
with models introducing items on stage.
That man isn't keen on you.
For publicity, let’s call a press party.
That ends the presentation.
How is it? Satisfied? I worked on it overnight.
The overall direction is good. Some areas need work.
Oh Dal Ja.
Yes?
Market research shows
our main consumers are women 20-30, did you know?
Yes.
With common and upmarket brands, do you know how much is spent?
I do.
This survey shows 62% of women prefer common brand lingerie.
Can you explain that?
Ah! That? We engaged another firm to do that survey.
Are you shirking?
No, I didn't mean to.
I want professionalism. Thinking of nonsense
and passing the buck is unforgivable.
Let's discuss problems with the design team.
We’re done.
One moment.
I want to talk.
Go ahead.
The survey was my mistake.
But saying I was thinking nonsense
upset me a lot.
Being stared at in a meeting upset me.
That’s only...
You have a few men around you.
Are you referring to the earlier incident?
Forget that.
I’m not the woman you think.
Which one? Canoodling with a young man in an alley
or skinship with a co-worker?
It doesn’t matter.
I want the product manager, you,
to be more professional.
I feel so aggrieved.
He thinks I chase men.
He takes me for a man-chaser
so he reacted like that.
What to do about my image?
I must prove I'm capable.
I have to succeed.
Do you know of the undies curse?
How can you wear this?
Is it a rag?
Are you a pervert?
So don’t bring me here.
It's a date. Why here?
I'm your boyfriend, not wife.
I get you 3 hours a day.
Can't I dictate the time?
There’s not enough impact.
What?
Hey! What're you doing?
Want to progress with your soul-mate?
Yes.
Do as I say.
What do I do?
This..this.. and one more thing..
Never believe in fate.
There isn't just one fated man.
Ah, one more! Mind your lingerie.
Men love sexy undies.
That’s all for today.
You're here alone?
No, I have a partner.
I know you came alone.
Stop playing games.
We're not at an age to push and pull each other.
Here’s too noisy. Let’s find a nice hotel bar.
I said I have a partner.
Yes. These folk are your partners. Let’s get out of here.
Seon Joo, for you.
Thank you, Myung Yoon.
Say hi to Dr. Kim Myung Yoon.
Hi. I’m Kim Myung Yoon.
What now?
This stage is long, isn’t it?
Next change.
Bring the outfits.
- They're here. - One by one.
Yes. Here you go.
3, 2, go!
Here.
Thanks, Unni.
He-e-y! They're so tall and thin?
How can I look like them?
Get reborn. Your DNA is wrong.
Oh! Where's your soul-mate?
Oh? Aah! Over there.
It's a good evening.
It can’t be him.
That’s him.
I say, Oh Dal Ja, you set your sights too high.
I know.
Wow! See his butt.
I know.
- He’s looking at us? - Yep.
What to do...?
He’s waving.
Wave back, silly girl.
What's he saying?
You did aim too high. Forget him.
Why'd I wave? Embarrassing.
Now I'm unnoticed?
Fine.
That’s right. Make an impact.
Attraction is achievable.
Hey, Dal Ja!
Don’t stop me.
I'll fight for my destiny. Here I go.
Is her juice spiked?
Excuse me...
Oh...Sae Do.
Where's the loo?
Wait, no. Sae Do, sober up.
I had too many cocktails.
The loo...the loo...
(You bloody stinker!)
Thanks! Take care.
- Not seeing her today? - She's busy.
What's she like?
Cute. She's in puberty at 33.
Don't fall for her.
Say I’m not here.
- Hello. - Hee Yoon.
Tae Bong isn't here.
How do I contact him?
He put $50,000 in my account.
I don’t need it.
I can't contact him. He comes and goes.
[ Oh Dal Ja ]
Yes. Ever-ready Kang Tae Bong here!
What can I do for you?
Oh, where are you?
Sorry, can you come in 30 minutes?
Bring me clothes. I’ll pay you. Any kind, hurry.
Yes, it’s an emergency. Come fast.
Where am I?
Ok, I see. Be right over.
Noona, I’ll take these and pay tomorrow.
Hey, Dal Ja! Where are you?
There's nothing else.
Thanks, Unni.
Cold, right? Wear this.
No, pregnant ladies can’t catch cold.
Chief Nam will explode. His face went red.
I’ll get scolded.
Leave it to me.
Are you okay alone?
Someone’s coming.
- Who? Tae Bong? - It's fair after what I spent.
Don’t worry. Go.
- Thanks. - I know.
Never knew I'd wear such lingerie.
Shin Sae Do is my enemy.
Why am I his friend? Really!
Are you alright?
Why'd you drink cocktails?
I’m depressed about you.
- Sorry. - Then go with me.
You won't be bored.
Give me a chance.
You're pale. Go home.
- Think I’m joking? - Life's a joke.
I’m sincere this time.
I, Shin Sae Do, really like Wee Seon Joo.
- I know. - You know?
I know. And that feeling will fade fast.
It's different this time.
Everyone thinks like that.
How do I make you believe?
Don’t try. I can’t believe it.
No, I won’t believe it.
I gave up trusting long ago.
It’s cold. Bye.
Want a drink somewhere?
Or go to my apartment?
Seon Joo?
I’m tired. I'll go home.
Bye.
Taxi!
Thanks for coming! Good night.
Thank you.
Is he coming or not?
Stop! Stand there.
Hi? I’m on my way. Hang on.
Stop! Stand there.
Isn’t it cramped for 3 men?
I’ll sit up front.
Get going!
- He’s not here? - He’s coming.
Did it end well?
Relax. Clients left happy.
Chief Nam was complaining...
- But you’re cold. - I'll bear it.
Wait on... Hello? Jin Joo, it’s Mommy.
I’ll be back later. Ask Grandma for food...
What? Grandma isn't back?
What about Daddy? He's not back?
Oh! You’re home alone!
I’m fine. Go.
Wait on. How can I leave you?
He’s coming. Go home.
Jin Joo’s waiting.
Jin Joo, I’ll be home soon.
I’m coming. Hang up.
Sometimes I regret I married.
Dal Ja, sorry. Ah! Wretches.
Go in.
Aren’t you chasing him? Get that door up!
Hey! Seriously!
Where'd he go?
Where is he?
~ Let me feel love, my baby ~
~ hold me tight, my true love ~
~ I've missed you so long ~
~ you have flown to my side ~
~ forever my destined one ~
~ my miracle love ~
Tae Bong was right.
~ if you've been waiting for me ~
~ linger a bit longer ~
~ I prepared for beautiful you, eyes so pure ~
There’s no soul-mate.
~ since I fell in love with you ~
No Prince Charming will rescue me.
~ I fell in love with a dream ~
~ when I'm with you, I smile even in pain ~
Sae Do, are you okay?
No, I’m not.
So, Dal Ja, rely on yourself.
You’re still here?
Yes...well...I... had something to sort out.
Um. I’m sorry for the incident today.
I'm sorry I absented myself unprofessionally.
No, I’m dead if I cry now.
I’m sorry. I must go. Bye.
It’s cold outside.
They're a loan. Dry-clean them.
Buy me dinner as thanks.
From destiny's view, this is a romantic scene.
But why's my heart feel pitiful?
Hello?
Isn't this Dal Ja’s number?
How's auto-dial wrong?
Why's it a man?
Hello? Hello?
- Is this Dal Ja’s phone? - Yes, it's hers. Who's this?
Who are you?
The caller should say first. Who's this?
This rude fella. Hey!
Did you learn manners?
The young greet the old.
It's not what I meant.
Stop your rot. Get Dal Ja.
Um, Dal Ja can't come now.
What? Who are you? Say your name.
- Pardon? - Say your name!
That..? Hello? I can’t hear you clearly.
Hello...? Sorry. I’ll call later. Hellooo?!
See here. Hey! It cut out.
Who is it?
I asked but he hung up.
A guy?
Is it the guy running and holding her hand?
A badly brought-up fella won’t do.
Most women dream of a soul-mate.
But how many can identify him?
Did I identify him?
Hey, you! Still out late?
Me? You know me?
You woman. What time is it?
Isn't your hubby waiting at home?
This guy is really...
You're drunk. Go home.
You grabbed me?
Go home fast.
Punk! You'd have a hard time living with this woman.
You shouldn’t do this.
Think you’re cool?
Not a bit.
Just call if you can't come.
Because you’re careless, you didn’t get my calls.
Because of you, I almost froze.
How? You're in a good coat.
Is it that fated man's?
Yes, that fated man.
He suggested dinner so isn't he keen on me?
I wasn't wrong?
Great.
What?
You got a coat and dinner.
You got all you wanted; I can exit the scene.
Sorry I was late. Here.
Don’t pay─ free late service.
When was it?
When did something similar happen before?
Ah! Crazy!
You have 3 guys, all together?
It’s Dal Ja’s house, yes?
Mom. Grandma.
Which one is your boyfriend?
The Rep, PD or 'spare tyre'?
I like the 'spare tyre'.
That guy’s too young.
Oh my, you don't know a thing.
A young, strong man is best.
"I think I’m your fated one."
"I want to date you."
"You misunderstood me."
"I’m not a loose woman."
"I hope we get on well."
Tell him like that.
If you don’t say a word, how will he know?
Who is Dal Ja? What's she thinking?
If I get rejected, it's embarrassing.
At this age.
From the moment you dumped me,
I couldn't perform.
So what?
You must take responsibility.
I'll get you a doctor?
No.
Take you to hospital?
No.
It isn't bad if marriage isn't a goal.
