I WANT TO BE HAPPY
Welcome.
My name is Taeji Oh.
I might look like a naive flower boy,
but I'm a sniper in the cosmetic industry
who actually boasts a strong sales performance.
Target number one: "the opener"
Customers who open new products
when there are tester products.
On the sinking Titanic,
Leonardo DiCaprio said:
"Winning the ticket to this ship
was the best thing that ever happened in my life."
Opening the cap of this product
will be the best thing that happened in your life.
Wow, I am truly lucky.
They are the awful kind of person who claim
that they didn't see the tester.
Target number two: "the super power blogger" .
They say that they're super power bloggers
and offer to advertise the product
or threaten to write flaws of the product on their blogs
to get free samples.
Super power blogger, my butt. They are just free sample beggars.
I think I'll put this mist on my blog.
Oh, this mist?
Our mist is the best. Moisturizing, gentle,
and fragrant.
A GORGEOUS PART-TIMER I MET AT THE COSMETICS STORE.
HOW WAS HIS PERFECT SKIN POSSIBLE?
Visit us again!
I will.
Target number three: "the horrible no makeup girl",
aka barefaced girl.
They come into the store without makeup
use testers to put on makeup in an instant and leave.
I've never seen them buy any products.
My!
What are you doing?
Okay, cut!
I am a movie director want-to-be.
Your skin is just so beautiful,
I just had to...
I've never seen such clear and clean skin.
You look much better without makeup.
I know, right?
I hear that often.
Thank you.
I work part-time in this store
because of Latte.
She is currently the most promising new actress.
And...
she is my first love.
Action power!
This is a gift. You can have it.
I'm not going to protect the Earth.
I'm only going to protect you.
I'm not going to be a princess. I will marry you.
I don't know if Jihee still remembers me.
But it doesn't matter.
Because I remember her.
She looks like enjoying her life as a celebrity.
I'm happy for her.
Wow!
I love you!
LATTE - GUERRILLA SIGNING EVENT
Jihee...
I can't believe it!
What are you doing? Go hand these out.
Oh, okay...
I'm a fan.
You're so pretty.
Thank you.
She's so pretty!
I'm sorry. It's over.
Excuse me?
I'd really like to get an autograph.
It's over.
Please. I'd really like Ms. Latte's autograph.
You can't.
Just a sec.
I want to do it.
You can't.
Ms. Latte,
why don't you do it for him?
Jihee...
She doesn't look so good in person.
She's just photogenic.
TO TAEJI OH
Oh...
Jihee.
Do you know him?
Sorry?
Who?
Earlier,
that guy you signed last.
No, I don't know him.
Is that so?
To Taeji Oh.
She remembers my name.
Then...
why did she just leave?
Yes, Governor.
You mean Congressman Yeochang Yun of the Jinyoung party?
Yes.
I got it.
Was it Mimi whose contract is up?
Yes, sir.
How about renewal?
I got it.
Grandma, you know who I met today?
I met Taeji,
a childhood friend.
He's really grown a lot.
He was a little shorter than me
and used to run around the playground with a cape.
Grandma, I'm going to be Taeji's bride. We promised.
Oh, really?
My Jihee will be the most beautiful bride in the world.
Taeji, take a good care of her.
I will protect Jihee.
Is that right? Thank you.
Thank you.
He still remembers my name.
I wanted to say hi,
but the chairman was watching.
He
doesn't like it if I meet
or even speak to anyone.
So I couldn't.
Grandma,
help me.
I can't breathe.
I don't know what to do.
I'm so scared. Grandma.
-Taeji! -Jihee!
-Taeji! -Let go of Jihee!
-Jihee! -Taeji!
-Taeji, help me! -Let go of Jihee!
No, Jihee!
-Jihee! -Taeji! Help me, Taeji!
Taeji! Taeji!
No.
No! Jihee!
Let go of Jihee!
Jihee. Jihee! No!
Jihee.
Help, Taeji!
Taeji! Taeji!
You remember me yet ignored me.
And you're suddenly in my dream.
Jihee,
is everything okay with you?
Taeji!
This won't do.
-Wha... What? -I have to ask her in person.
-Fill in for me for a bit. -Wha... Wait!
Taeji! Where are you...
-Geez! -Who are you?
Me? I'm a level seven civil service exam applicant,
Hochang Kim.
Bring the rest in, please.
Jihee...
Who are you?
Huh?
Who are you?
I'm...
just moving this here.
You're that part-timer from the signing event, right?
You can't come in here.
Escort him to the exit.
Jihee!
Jihee Lee!
If I see you again, you're dead.
Jihee! Jihee Lee!
She obviously remembers me.
But why?
Why does she ignore me?
Who are you?
Where did that come from?
Yes.
You... Come over here.
Do you know me?
That's why I'm calling you over.
Come over here.
Here. Take this.
I already have a cell phone.
Shush. Just take it.
-I don't have any money. -It's free.
Is it free?
No.
Rascal! Just take it!
You look familiar...
The little boy running around the playground with a cape,
you've grown a lot.
-Grandma? -Shut your mouth.
Okay.
You promised to protect my granddaughter, right?
Use that cell phone to protect my granddaughter.
Excuse me?
Open your ears and listen carefully.
That cell phone is a magic cell phone
that will help you keep your childhood promise.
But if you use magic,
in return,
you have to give your vitality.
And if you use that cell phone,
the person you love
won't remember you anymore.
She'll forget you.
She'll forget me?
Yes.
But
you'll be able to protect
the one you love.
Really?
Now, put your hand on the cell phone.
Like this?
I'm getting all kinds of bad dreams.
Is my body getting weak?
You promised to protect my granddaughter, right?
Use this cell phone
to protect my granddaughter.
It's a magic cell phone.
Protect Latte with this?
Am I nuts?
There's actually "Latte" on it.
But what's this three?
This is ridiculous.
What do you want me to do?
What's this? What's going on?
Search everywhere Latte might be.
Right now.
That part-timer who came to the office.
His cosmetics store. Try there.
Now.
Do I press this?
What the heck?
Are you kidding me?
What... What's that?
Help...
Help.
What do you want me to do?
You want me to come in?
This is crazy.
Fine. I'm going in.
This is...
Help...
Hold on!
Welcome.
She's not here.
You know...
Thank you
for saving me.
No problem. It was nothing.
But why did you come to the practice room?
Oh, that is...
Oh, right. I met your grandma yesterday.
My grandma?
She asked me to protect you
-and gave me this. -Stop joking around.
My grandma passed away a few years ago.
When I first saw you,
it reminded me of here.
For some reason,
I really wanted to come here.
Jihee.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
Are you sure?
Now that I've seen you, I should go.
What?
Isn't this your home?
This isn't home.
It's a cage.
Should I go in with you?
It's okay.
If something happens...
I should go.
The chairman is waiting.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, chairman.
I just wanted to get some air.
It won't happen again.
Please forgive me.
There are times
when our daily lives are dull
or boring.
What do you think?
The world seems small, right?
I'm sorry. Forgive me.
Of course, I forgive you.
My Latte is a good girl.
Take her back.
Isn't this the perks of being a part-timer at a cosmetics store?
A luxurious mask.
Because my skin is worth it.
She did say that she would call.
This surely is a thing.
What's that? A toy?
Oh, this...
It's a Latte phone.
-Latte phone? -Yes.
That Latte?
Or this Latte?
Yes, that Latte.
Don't make that kind of face already.
I told you earlier.
Mimi.
Latte.
I can't take it anymore.
I'm so scared of the chairman. I can't breathe.
Are you not renewing your contract?
No.
Will he let you go?
No, he won't let me go.
If I try to leave,
he won't let it be.
Then what are you going to do?
I have to make him let me go.
He must have a weak spot, too. With that.
-Latte. -Yes, Mimi.
If I manage to get away from the chairman,
I'll help you get away too.
Okay.
Mimi.
Let's go.
Yes, Governor.
Everything is ready.
You don't have to worry.
Yes.
Mimi.
I called you because there is something I need you to do.
You will do it, right?
Good. Good.
Right now. Good.
It's yummy. Oh, good. Good. Prettier.
Good. Oh, good.
Okay!
You're great today.
-Thank you. -Good work.
Thank you.
Latte.
Next agenda is a meeting with the movie company.
Okay.
Get ready in ten minutes.
Your next work.
Memorize it.
Yes.
Yeochang Yun, Representative of Jinyoung party,
is the next generation politician who plays as the central figure
among the new congressmen. Singer Mimi has been loved
since her debut with "Cutie Cute".
Recently, Representative Yun
has been working to make a new political party, but
upon this incident, his ethical standards are being questioned...
Our company won't be affected.
Don't worry about it and just work.
Jihee.
It's Taeji.
Is Chief Jo gone?
Yeah, she's gone.
Open the door.
You cannot open this door from inside, only from outside.
Do you know the code?
Just a sec.
159357.
159... 6357?
1593574!
This can really make a wish come true?
So you want to be happy?
I feel alive.
I can breathe.
This moment is so precious.
I wish the time would stop.
I think congressman and I were set up.
Who on earth did that?
Probably the chairman...
I brought you up this far and you don't want to renew?
I'll let you go, just as you wish.
This is so strange. Why do they lock Latte up?
The more I think about it. Something's not right.
I can care for you as much as you want.
Let go of me!
He did it with that cell phone.
If you use it,
you get pain?
What did you do?
Jihee.
Latte? She's dead.
Jihee, just hold on a little longer.
Give it to me. The cell phone.
There is one left.
To save you, he's enduring pain to use this.
Is that true?
Is that really how it is?
But what to do now?
He won't be able to use the chance that's left.
You've been set up to kill Latte anyway!
That won't happen!
I even gave up protecting the Earth for Latte.
Is it true that if you use that,
you will die?
As long as you're okay,
I'm okay.
It doesn't work like that!
I promised.
No, you can't. Don't do this.
Wake up. Huh?
Come to your senses. Wake up!
You probably will forget me.
But if I can protect you,
it's okay even if you forget me.
Because I will remember you.
