[Episode 6]
Why isn't he coming?
My back is sore!
All that lying down is making me feel stiff.
My knees... My back...
I'm dying.
Young Master...
Physique, 98 percent.
Pass.
Physical affection, 99.9 percent.
Pass.
Master, you're finally here.
I'm sorry that I'm late.
You're actually very late, and I've given it a run already.
But if you'd take my hand
I'd like to spend the rest of my life with you.
It's fine.
I've given it a run on my way here as well.
That would mean...
Divorced single.
We were meant for each other!
Would you like to get up?
Wait, this isn't a white horse...
This horse here was bred and raised domestically.
But people seem to want the smooth horses brought over from Germany.
What about the cost of maintenance?
Just the saddle cost me 1.5 million won.
The domestic rides give the most bang for the buck.
Now, let us get going.
Before we go, there's a few things I'd like to check.
What's that?
Do you have property in Hanyang?
Hanyang...
But I've been able to secure a home in Kyunggi-do.
You made it seem like you were from some rich family!
I don't ask my family for anything at all.
Don't you find that attractive?
Now, why don't we get going?
Wait!
Maiden, do you intend to leave me behind?
Do you know me?
We spent a steamy night building our Great Wall of China together.
How could you think about leaving me?
The Great Wall of China?
I don't recall such a... What are you talking about?
Have you forgotten?
[Han Mi Mo is mine]
This is our sacred pact.
Look here, Maiden.
Looks like you've been around while you were waiting for me!
I don't remember...
I should've known.
Maiden, you're the kind of woman who goes swinging from man to man!
Excuse me? Swinging from man to man?
That's right!
You're the kind of woman that I despise!
I felt like I was the only one who cared.
That's why I left him.
You confessed your feelings to him first, didn't you?
It... won't be enough.
This person is starting to see his friend of 10 years as a woman.
He's asking what he should do.
These types of friendships; they're really dangerous.
You never know when a friendship can turn into a romance.
Many songs have tried to explain this struggle between friendship and love.
This song is dedicated to the sender of this story.
Hong Kyung Min's "Friendship at Risk."
Friendship at Risk.
The wholesome movies are the best!
She doesn't drink wine. She said she prefers soju bombs.
No, why do I keep on falling for my friend's woman?
Hey, forget it...
Just wear it for a moment.
See? You shouldn't challenge winter.
You'll lose.
Thanks.
Let's go, it's freezing.
Looks like it's going to get messy.
You came here as soon as you finished?
Without letting me know?
I did contact you.
But you didn't pick up.
It's turned off.
You're coming back together.
Yeah, I ran into her while covering a story.
It seems to happen quite often lately.
It just happened.
Go inside and talk. She's getting cold.
Let's go.
What's this?
It's nothing big.
There's a lot in there.
Just this and that.
Like what?
I don't want to talk about it.
If I talk about it, I'll end up feeling pathetic.
So I shouldn't ask about it?
I'm curious.
Is that the only thing you're curious about?
Don't you see how ridiculous I look right now?
You've given me your jacket, but I guess you don't care why.
Why do you look like this?
It's so hard to get your attention.
Did something happen?
I don't want to talk about it anymore. I feel snubbed.
I'm cold, so I'd like to wash up. Do you want to head out?
If I just stay here while the sun sets
Then wash up and get some rest.
I said I'm cold.
He doesn't know anything about women.
A little little bit of love in my seventeen
So sweet
A little little bit of tears in my lonely heart
Once again longing for a breeze
For a rose and kisses for a little bit of you
If a little little bit of love is waiting for
Why don't you come a little closer here if you're ready for
In my heart now I see a girl dancing all day in the rain
Singing for a fallen star
Han Mi Mo.
You smell like alcohol!
This one's pretty.
Who are you? Where did you come from?
Stay true to your instincts. It's love over friendship.
You've already fallen for me.
You were sneezing.
Dress warmly and go to sleep. You don't look good in see-through.
Why is there so much in here?
Thanks for the cold medication.
No, it was nothing.
It was nothing, but I felt thankful.
Especially yesterday.
[My Love, Joon]
Isn't this going too far?
Why should I?
I'm the one who's upset.
But I was a bit sensitive yesterday, right?
Hae Joon could be debating the same thing.
Are you surprised that I'm the chairman's granddaughter?
I normally wouldn't tell anyone, but I'm just telling you.
This is the kind of girl I am, so you better not lose me.
Attracted? Don't I seem different to you now?
Don't you see halos or auras around me right now?
If I were seeing those things, I'd need a doctor myself.
I have patients. Are you going to stay?
Call him...
Don't call him...
Do it...
Don't do it...
Do it!
Hello?
Yes, this is Song Soo Hyuk of MassPunch.
How do you do?
I'm General Affairs Manager Woo Hyo Min of Moonlight Elementary School.
I sent an invitation a few days ago. Did you receive it?
An invitation? I'm sorry, I don't really check my mail.
Yes, I've received it. We're removing the time capsules we left 24 years ago?
We'll be unveiling the capsules that the third graders left back then
for the kids that attend the school today.
Song Soo Hyuk and Han Mi Mo were representatives at the time
we'd love to have you there to help with the event.
- Of course. I'll be there. - Yes. I'll be there.
What do you like about that woman?
If you look at her up close, she's got wrinkles under her eyes!
You can't hide old age.
I'm much younger than her, and that makes me better than her!
And I'm the granddaughter of the man who owns this hospital.
Why are you hesitating?
Just take my hand!
There's something you lack.
Self-discernment. You can learn that at school.
You need to watch and listen, and after time, you possess it.
You just wait! I'll learn it and come right back!
What's with her? She's really angry.
I told her the last thing a student wants to hear.
To go and study.
I can see why she's mad.
Do you have something to say?
Did Han Mi Mo say anything to you?
Say what? Did you meet with her?
I have a confession.
Did you find out about the woman who caused a commotion?
I went back to the restaurant, but the employees are tight-lipped.
I don't have anything else.
Really?
I've found something different.
And what I've found is very amusing.
Why are the two of you saying different things?
He's probably right.
But I'm working on something, and I'll let you know if I find it.
Reporter Jung, you get on it.
What's going on with the gymnast, Kang Na Rae?
Yes, I think they're still getting married...
If I ever get remarried, I want to stay home and rest.
A man who leases buildings would be the best option.
Of course the woman should work! We live to 100 these days!
Men love women who bring in an income.
If they end up with a pension after retirement, we love them even more.
It's not their first marriage, so shouldn't they own an apartment?
In Gangnam or Bundang.
And he needs to have about 1 billion won in liquid assets.
So he won't be poor.
What? Is she Miranda Kerr or something?
Ah, and this is the most important thing.
Don't tell him that I have a lot of money.
I want to experience true love for my next marriage.
It's cold, so why did you come all the way here?
I'm stopping by on my way from lunch.
I missed you.
I have a gift for you.
One moment.
I want you to wear the scarf every time we meet.
I don't want you to feel cold.
What took you so long to find me?
It's so unfair!
Luxury Used Goods was putting in the effort toward Dong Mi.
The fact that she'd have a steady income after retirement must've had its appeal.
What's your problem?
Because you tried to cover it up and I found out?
Why are you so interested in this?
It's interesting.
It's impossible to know what'll happen next.
You won't find anything there. The employees refuse to talk about it.
I've found other witnesses.
Did you hear something?
Are you curious?
You should be more patient.
I've waited for a much longer period of time.
I've heard about you from my partner. It's nice to meet you.
Please have a seat.
This is a little embarrassing.
Unless you come to us yourself, most people feel that way.
I understand that you have a 10-year-old son?
Yes.
He's like my best friend.
He's the most precious thing I have in the world.
It's a long story, but I've raised my son by myself.
I see. It must've been difficult.
Do you happen to know any single dads?
No.
I mean, I do.
I forgot.
An old classmate of mine has a son.
But he's childish, so it's hard to imagine him as a father.
Do you really think he's childish?
Excuse me?
When I was left with the child, it felt hopeless.
Nowadays, you have blogs to tell you what you need
and people in similar situations gather to share knowledge
but back then, it was difficult.
You had to face it and overcome it by yourself.
The child would cry, and I would cry with him.
I would look for help, but I couldn't find anyone who helps single fathers.
My baby is burning up!
He ate well this evening, but...
And the most difficult thing to bear were the stares from other people.
It felt like they were pointing fingers with their eyes.
But the amazing thing was that the little face would look up at me and smile.
Giving me the will to go on.
It's taxing on the body and mind.
So how could he remain childish?
I...
Will you hold me?
Do you think I'm some sort of animal that'll run to you anytime you call?
Did I hurt your pride?
I lived like that for seven years.
You've rejected me for seven years, so why would I want to hold you?
And where do you get the nerve to ask me that?
It makes me feel horrible too.
I'm sorry. I must have lost my mind for a moment there.
[Angels break up due to differences.]
[Han Mi Mo terrorized by Goo Seul Ah's fans]
[Poisoned and rushed to the hospital]
It started when you made the first move.
He has control of the relationship now.
Is that it?
Is that why he treats me like that? He doesn't ever kiss me.
I pushed him away slightly, and he doesn't even look back!
Is that why?
You're at a disadvantage because you like him more than he likes you.
Just accept it.
Hey, when were you such an expert anyway?
I don't like it! Hang up!
[You missed a call from My Love, Joon.]
Wait, I've got missed calls from him!
Oh no! I missed his calls because I was talking to Dong Mi!
What am I going to do?
[My Love, Joon]
Hello?
Was I wrong to do that?
Yeah, you were.
Why did you tell her that? She'll get the wrong idea.
Are you sure it's the wrong idea?
From what I saw, your energy doesn't match hers.
That's not your decision to make.
Have you arrived? I've called you several times.
I didn't get it on purpose.
Because I wanted you to suffer.
You've succeeded. I've been suffering for three hours worried I won't see you.
For three hours?
Weren't you cold? My goodness.
Are you serious?
Did you just arrive moments ago?
Of course not.
If a girl confesses first in a relationship, she feels self-conscious.
She doesn't simply read the sentences.
She reads between the lines.
It's annoying.
What did you read in me?
That you were just going along with it.
I'm not one to be swayed by gifts.
It's so you don't listen to things that don't matter.
Let's not get the wrong ideas about each other.
It's cold, isn't it?
There's something there, right? Take a look.
This is...
Where did you get these?
They were prizes in pastries 13 years ago.
I was a fan of Han Mi Mo.
The fairy Han Mi Mo that would motion left when the others go right.
I was infatuated with you.
I must've bought a hundred pastries to collect all of that.
It was the first time I've ever been to a live recording
and the first time I was dismayed by the break-up of a girl group.
I thought I'd never see that angel again
but she showed up in my emergency room one day.
Wearing something other than wings.
Thank you... for being courageous that day.
You're a very precious person to me.
Thank you for saying that.
Why don't you come a little closer here if you ready for
In my heart now I see a girl
Dancing all day in the rain
Singing for a fallen star
Thank you.
Hae Joon, you're precious to me too.
I like you a lot.
Why did I have to...
Why did I eat dried squid?
Why, why, why?
He'll probably try again, right?
He's not going to take his time again, is he?
Why did I have to eat squid?
I heard that it's time to renew. Please enroll me for another six months.
Again?
You're always renewing, so why not do a year this time?
The interest rate is better.
I don't know when I'll need it. Tie it up for another six months.
Sure.
Dong Mi's fixed deposit is always for six months.
The reason is...
Are you looking for something?
I'm just looking. I wanted to see if there's anything new.
It's the same reason she doesn't buy new household appliances.
Because you have to buy new appliances when you get married.
And when you get married, you'd have to dip into that one year fixed deposit.
I hope you sell a lot.
But because of that useless concern
she hasn't bought new appliances for over six years.
What's a nice men's watch?
It's a limited edition, and there's one left.
Actor Lee Joong Jae wore it in that blockbuster, and now it's trending.
The price is 5.5 million won.
What?
Why is it so expensive?
Instead of a gift, it should be used for wedding exchanges!
Many people do.
Then is there something more appropriate for a gift?
I'll pay for that with this.
Shall I wrap it as a gift?
I was looking at this first! Why don't you ask me if I want it?
You said that it was too expensive, that you wanted a simple gift.
I offered to buy it first. Is there a problem here?
Of course there's a problem.
What if the person who saw it first offers to buy it as well?
That day, the fixed income account that was rolled over every six months
turned into a Lee Joong Jae watch.
- A seat for one? - I'm not here to eat.
I wanted to ask you something.
I'm sorry, but we don't take questions.
But I have questions.
If you don't give me answers, I'll write whatever I want to.
I don't think you're the person to help me.
May I speak with Chef Kim Jung Hoon?
We need to talk.
I have my reasons for covering it up.
So stop looking into this story.
What are your reasons?
Does it have to do with the woman who caused a scene?
If we write the article, that woman will suffer. That's why I dropped it.
What we do puts a lot of people into hot water.
Am I right?
When did we ever care about the the parties involved?
And our chief wants us to look further into this.
What gives you the right to cover it up?
There are lines that we shouldn't cross!
We don't touch minors, elderly, or the pregnant.
We don't throw people over the cliff!
So I'm going to check for myself! To see if that applies in this case!
Do my lips seem to invite a kiss?
Not bad.
Can't you be more sincere?
What are you looking at?
[Loan Statement]
What's this? Why does he owe so much money?
Remember the doctor we introduced to Na Yong Mi?
He has more debt than we thought.
She'll grab him by the throat when she sees this.
But they care about each other.
They can conquer this with the strength of their love.
I'm going to go meet my man now.
I need to go to the restroom.
Okay. Hurry back.
[Mr. Goo Hae Joon, your interest is due. Jackpot Bank, Hannam Branch]
Loan?
It's creditors...
What?
Creditors?
You heard that? I was talking to myself.
I'm keen on anything related to survival, my eyes and ears are tuned to that.
Hae Joon, do you have debt?
Why? Are you worried?
Don't people begin with a certain amount of debt these days?
I graduated from medical school. I'm not a silver-spoon child
so I have some debt because I graduated on time.
Right. Of course.
So you must be talking about student loans?
Try and think outside the box. The world of lending is much more amazing.
The thought of meeting my lender tomorrow makes my heart beat faster.
When will I end this war with debt?
You're not going to leave me because of my debt, are you?
Enjoy.
When will I end this war with debt?
Oh no. What do I do?
No.
The power of love.
The cost of spending these happy times with Hae Joon.
Of course.
No...
What if it's expensive?
What if it gets really expensive?
What am I going to do?
You're working late today? I find hard-working women really sexy.
Make lots of money. Fighting!
Don't say that...
You're scaring me.
I've never seen you like that before.
Beaming with happiness.
I was happy with you too.
You just didn't see it.
Boss, you have a guest.
He's male, and he says that he's family.
Family?
Well, we're good neighbors.
Thank you. I really wanted this.
I'm glad that you like it.
- Aren't you going to get that? - It's okay.
Just pick it up. It seems urgent.
Then I'll take this call outside.
I may need to fight on the call.
Why does he need to fight on the call?
- Is everything okay? - Don't worry about it.
I get these calls all the time.
Oh, so what time is it now?
Why do you have this?
I picked it up at home.
Did that punk--
Did your father throw this away?
It doesn't matter, as long as it's put to good use.
Introduce him to a good woman.
- Min Woo. - A really good woman.
I don't think your father is interested.
I've already asked him about this.
He's not being honest.
He tells me that too, but his actions are different.
He's starting to drink, too.
Min Woo, you're very thoughtful.
Yeah, okay. I'll help you.
Do you know his type?
I need a hint if you want me to match him with someone.
Find him a woman rather than a mother.
She's got to be pretty, sexy, and sensible.
You're a man too, aren't you?
I'll do my best to find him someone.
And we'll determine whether or not I'll accept this after we find him someone.
I'm not looking for a free handout. I'll pay for your services.
Okay then. I'll hold onto it for now.
You're all grown up, Min Woo.
I have volunteer tomorrow.
Volunteering? Are we moving charcoal again?
Can you come? It starts in the afternoon.
Of course. I'll stop by the office in the morning and be back by 11:00.
Let's go together.
Yeah, what is it? I wrapped things up and on my way home.
Senior, you're going to have to come back.
- What? - Kang Na Rae's at the wedding shop.
Why does it have to be today? I've got to move charcoal today.
If you don't come back, we'll be mining coal for the rest of our lives.
- Hurry back. - All right.
That Kang Na Rae!
All right, I can go alone.
Work hard.
Yeah.
Now, who do you like the most?
You should know your father's type.
- None of them. - What?
I'm looking for a natural beauty.
Someone with the traditional Korean beauty and grace.
Min Woo, you're still young, so you seem to have an unrealistic idea of women.
You can find a nature-loving woman, but a natural beauty is rare.
You need to accept reality.
Then I'll let the eyes and the nose slide.
But no slimming of the jaw.
It won't be easy.
You know exactly what you want.
- But are you going somewhere? - To volunteer.
- Alone? - Yes.
There's no difference in going alone and two shabby guys going together.
Why don't you go with him? Your father's not that shabby.
He bickers a lot, but women are attracted to guys like him.
He can't come.
Oh, really?
I see...
I'm late. I need to get going. Can I show you out?
Yeah, sure.
Min Woo.
How about a pretty lady instead of a shabby guy?
Thank you for coming out in such cold weather.
Please make sure that the children are wearing vests and gloves.
Yes.
If you need some, come see the director right here.
Are you comfortable?
Isn't she from Angels? You know, that old group.
I think you're right.
She's pretty.
- How are you? - Hello.
- I'm pretty popular. - You're so pretty!
What?
This is a parent's outing.
A woman friend doesn't qualify.
Oh my, I didn't know you needed qualifications to volunteer?
In a time where children should be taught equality.
Who are you, and why are you saying such outdated things?
I'm Min Woo's homeroom teacher.
You must love to volunteer.
Seeing how you're following your friend's son here.
Look forward to it. I'm going to work you hard today.
Slowly.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Slowly, take it slow.
That's going to fall! Please be careful.
Wait.
- Am I ready? - Not yet, one moment.
It's cold.
All ready now.
Oh my!
This isn't right.
Good work.
Senior, I'm sorry.
I thought that was her.
Can't you make sure before you call me?
She had surgery to look just like her!
My dad's friend told me he hates women who take selfies at volunteer events.
Whatever.
Does that guy happen to have the surname, Goo?
How did you know?
I've always been good at guessing.
You're looking shabby right now.
Take a look at me. What's this all over your face?
- There's something on your face, lady. - Where?
That's weird. Where?
Hey! That's weird!
What happened?
What are you doing here?
I'm close with our neighbor. We've gotten close as of late.
I wanted to volunteer so that I can expand my shares in heaven.
Senior, you know Han Mi Mo, don't you?
She disappeared after getting into a fight with Goo Seul Ah.
Yeah, I know her well.
Did you know that she lives next door to Soo Hyuk?
And do you know that he has feelings for her?
What makes you think that?
He's been acting differently lately.
He's been protecting her, quite actively.
They're friends, so it's not unlikely. They're old classmates.
Classmates? I think it's more than that.
He seems like he's protecting a woman he likes.
Don't assume things.
That woman...
is mine.
Yours?
We're seeing each other.
She's seeing you?
Senior, I think things are going to get uncomfortable between us.
I don't think so.
I'm not going to do that uncomfortable thing.
You won't?
I'll stand by and watch, to see if you're any different.
I'm becoming more childish.
- Be careful. - Yes, be careful.
- Careful. - Thanks.
That child, Song Min Woo... His dad was crazy in college.
How?
My sister-in-law went to college with him
and he was known as a ladies' man.
Since he's a good looking guy.
So after living that raunchy life, he was left with Min Woo.
The woman gave birth and then ran away.
Really? That's so low! I don't want to go near him!
I didn't see any of you working, and now I see that you were here, gossiping.
The kids will learn from this.
So low...
So dirty, so low!
I'm ashamed for you.
So dirty! Filthy!
Wait for me!
Be careful.
Excuse me, please give me one of those frames.
Oh my! I have one left for you!
Isn't this too big?
It's too big.
Get going.
Oh my, is it too much for you?
There's nothing you can do about age.
Your son must be sad to have an old father.
So, should I take a few out for you?
Leave it the way it is!
Get going!
Good work everyone!
Let's go.
Aren't you glad I came with you?
It's cold, let's get going.
What's this. What's wrong?
I had a slight sprain earlier, and it's feeling more uncomfortable.
Let's go.
Let me see.
- Let me see it! - I can soak it when we get back.
Oh my. I'll just soak it at home.
Seriously?
Why did you keep working with an ankle like this?
Why do you always do stupid things?
Why are you yelling at me?
That child, Song Min Woo... His dad was crazy in college.
He was known as a ladies' man.
So after living that raunchy life, he was left with Min Woo.
It's taxing on the body and mind.
So how could he remain childish?
When are you done volunteering?
I'm heading back now.
I'll call you when I get there.
Your best friend lived with guilt his entire life.
What if that best friend has feelings for her?
Are you willing to give her up?
It feels sore.
Forget it, let me carry you.
Hey, stop overreacting.
Yeah, you wouldn't get on. I'll just have to carry you.
Hey, if someone saw us, they'd think I broke a bone!
You're carrying me this far?
Let me down.
You're going to get the house dirty.
You sit right here. I'll get angry if you run away.
I'll go get some medicine.
- Do you have money? - Yeah.
Why is everyone overreacting?
Min Woo, I'm fine.
I'm going home. If this is because you're sorry
I'll be fine once I soak my foot at home.
I said sit right there.
I can do this myself.
You don't have to do this. I said that I'm okay.
It'll only take a moment.
Thanks.
You've got me by the ankles.
Thank you for going with Min Woo today.
It's because I like him.
So this is it?
[24 years ago: Romeo's buried memories await.]
Are you going?
Of course.
What about you?
Me too.
They're probably all just faded memories.
Do you suppose they're faded?
Maybe they're the same.
But we've changed so much.
You and I both.
It feels weird.
You were 10 years old, but now you have a 13-year-old child.
It must've been tough.
How did you handle it alone? As a single father?
If it was me, I don't think I could've done it as well as you did.
Soo Hyuk, you've grown well.
Don't reach out to me.
It makes me want to reach back.
Hey, I think I'm fine now.
It's cold, so why are you drinking coffee outside?
Because it'll help me wake up.
Want to hear something that'll wake you up?
We discovered the identity of the woman who caused a commotion.
It's Han Mi Mo. The one that got into a fight with Goo Seul Ah.
- What are you talking about? - Ah Ni figured it out
and she finished the article. She just needs it approved...
I told you that we don't throw people off the cliff.
Who's standing at the edge of the cliff? This woman?
Have you done any research at all?
Don't you know they have a history 13 years ago?
Research? I don't need that.
You weren't here, so you don't have a clue.
But I know!
- Then why are you writing this? - Isn't it a fact?
We're not talking about the facts!
If the article is published, she'll suffer.
Someone has always suffered! What's so special about her?
Senior, do you have feelings for Han Mi Mo?
Do you have feelings for your best friend's woman?
If you're curious, release that article.
Do it, if you're curious to see me lose my mind...
And, you're not the one I have to talk about my feelings with.
What's the matter?
Hae Joon.
I'm sorry.
Then don't do something you'll be sorry for.
Stay out of this.
I'm sorry.
I think I'll have to get involved.
I'm going to have to go through with this.
As if you brushed past my heart, you came to me and shook me up
I didn't know my heart loved you, that my heart was fluttering
Your shining two eyes, my trembling hands...
