Why are you so surprised?
Oh, it's nothing.
Can you wait for me outside?
Let me wrap things up here.
Sure.
EPISODE 7
This is out of the blue. What brings you here?
I thought I'd return the favor.
Is there a lot left to do?
I'll pack up my bag and be right down.
I'll bring the car out front.
Sure.
Hello?
Where are you?
I left the library.
Didn't you see my text? Why didn't you reply?
Is this a habit of yours?
Did you...
I saw him.
So what? Why did you hide?
We didn't even do anything.
Would you if I asked you to?
Would you be willing to do it?
Ji-ho.
I said from the start
that I couldn't be just friends with you.
You said you moved on,
so we agreed to be friends.
Then tell Gi-seok that we're friends.
Tell him not to be worried when he sees us together.
Should I tell him instead?
Where are you right now?
Where?
Let's talk in person.
Where are you?
If you come to me now,
there's no going back.
Isn't that Ji-ho?
Ji-ho!
Hey.
Go ahead.
Unbelievable.
That was unexpected.
Did I mention where you worked the last time we met?
I'm not sure. I don't remember.
I should tell him when we meet again
and ask to bring you some snacks.
What if it brings us closer?
He's a friend, so that'd be great.
Are you okay with me spending time with another guy?
-As a man? -As a friend.
Just a guy friend.
Would that be okay with you?
Do you even care?
You hate it when people invade your personal space.
I'm selfish, aren't I?
I wouldn't have dated you if you were.
You have a strong personality,
and it's why I fell for you.
Have you ever regretted dating me?
I nearly did just now
because of these silly questions.
-Gi-seok. -Yes?
Shall we just get married?
I'd like a proper proposal and not a reluctant one.
I told you not to stress out about it.
We're eventually going to get married anyway, so what's the rush?
Right?
CIVIL SERVICE EXAM CLASSES CONSULTATIONS ARE WELCOMED
Hi.
Right. I mean, hi.
Did you forget that we agreed to be friends?
You appeared out of the blue, so of course I was flustered.
Did you study a lot today?
I'm not done for the day.
What's with the bag then? I thought we were going out.
It's a force of habit.
So are we going out or what?
What are we going to do?
We'll think about it over a meal.
-Come on. I'll treat you to a barbecue. -But--
-Let's go! -Sure.
PREMIUM VITAMIN
Hold on.
Are these really all for me?
They were around the house.
Besides, a hardworking student needs vitamins more.
No one in my house needs them.
My pharmacist friend sometimes brings me some,
but never this much.
You won't run out then. Now, will you dig in?
Oh, right. Thank you.
Thanks for this.
Gosh.
-So... -Yes?
-How many times did you flunk? -The exam?
Well, it's...
Twice?
So five times?
You're adorable.
A greater number of people fail the test anyway,
so why be embarrassed about it?
It's not something to be proud of.
So...
It's nothing.
-Why do I keep coming by? -Yes.
Because I want to see you.
You constantly miss those you're fond of.
How do you know if I'm a decent person or not?
I'm drawn to you, that's all.
We can take our time getting to know each other anyway.
Simple, right? Now eat up.
Are you always this bold?
I'm a bit influenced by Jeong-in.
-Remember my sister? -Yes.
Well, she has to see the end no matter what she does.
Ma'am, can I get some more?
When she sets her mind on something that she really wants,
no one in our family can stop her.
She doesn't seem like the type.
She's gotten boring. That's why her love life sucks too.
She and Gi-seok look nice together.
What about us?
Unbelievable.
-Eat up. I'll get you some more. -Right.
Dig in.
-Grill these for me. -Sure.
"What if I can never take this off?
Will I be stuck like this forever?
Thankfully, I can somewhat see through this,
so it's not so bad."
He just fell asleep.
-Didn't Mom call? -She did.
They moved to a nearby karaoke room.
You know how the neighbors like to party.
Go before it gets darker.
Want to grab a drink with me?
-You should open a new bottle. -It's fine.
There's nothing going on.
Should I go up with you?
I thought you had a meeting to prep for.
I do, but...
Come inside if you want.
Where's Jae-in?
She texted that she just got home.
I'm good then.
Jae-in's home, so...
What?
Am I just a regular sexual partner to you?
Did you have to say it like that?
-When have I ever treated you that way? -Just now.
What's up with you again?
Are you purposely trying to pick fights?
Besides, couples don't need to seek permission for sex.
You still need to ask though.
Just say you don't want to
instead of making ridiculous excuses.
I don't want to. Satisfied?
Unbelievable.
Drive home safely.
While raising you,
we got scared every time
a call came from
your teachers at school.
"Ji-ho...
is at the top of the class again."
"Ji-ho should compete in an academic competition."
"How about a foreign language high school?"
"He could get into a university on a full scholarship."
Your mom and I aren't highly educated,
and we were focused on just getting by.
Why are you suddenly saying this?
We couldn't give you anything,
so I wonder if that's why your life turned out this way.
What about Eun-u?
For whatever reason, he was sent to me.
I wouldn't even change him for the world.
Dad.
I'm doing fine.
You and Mom raised me well.
So don't worry about me or Eun-u.
I...
I'll raise him well too.
Hi, Jeong-in.
Seo-in.
What's with your voice? Are you all right?
I'm good.
How are things with you?
I'm fine, but you don't seem that way.
What's going on?
Seo-in.
Yes?
I shouldn't betray...
Gi-seok, right?
I can't turn my back on him now,
right?
If you do, I'm sure you'd have a good reason.
One that is solid.
Jeong-in.
Yes?
I only want you to think about one thing.
Your happiness.
I want you to be happy too.
There's another man, isn't there?
Jeong-in.
No, that's not it.
I called because I wanted to hear your voice.
But I'm just talking nonsense...
You're pretending to be all right again.
Look who's talking.
I'm your copycat, remember?
We can get through this.
The file you told me to review
keeps getting classified as a high-risk loan.
How so?
There isn't a proper file regarding proof of income
and he's taken out many other loans.
He's already in pile of debt.
I see that he's a dentist.
I don't know how you know this guy,
but you shouldn't approve this loan even if he's family.
Got it.
Thanks for this.
By the way, don't miss the game next week.
We need to crush Ji-ho this time.
I thought you'd bring us victory, but we lost again.
It was humiliating.
I only went soft because it was my first game.
Just wait. I'll crush him next time.
Unbelievable.
-Su-jin. -Yes?
This is for a book review event,
so put it up at waist level for the kids to see.
Sure thing. Should I put one up at the annex too
since they take classes there?
Of course. Make sure it doesn't overlap
-with other notices. -Right.
Hold on.
Ha-rin and I will cover the main reference library.
You can manage the children's library alone, right?
-Ha-rin. Let's do this together. -Sure.
I'll go with Ha-rin. Come on.
Is something going on?
Well...
You've been feeling down these past few days.
I'm fine. Why do you ask?
You're not fine.
I told you before
that I'm not the adventurous type.
I thought you meant you don't like taking risks.
Just how far
should one go, though?
Should you take risks in life
or shouldn't you?
It's no big deal,
but Eun-u wanted to go to the library after kindergarten
and we came to one in the neighborhood.
Apparently, it's not where you took him.
Just a second.
Eun-u, your dad's on the phone.
Hello?
That library has books you like as well.
No!
What do you mean?
This isn't it.
I'll take you to that library next time.
I want to go today.
I told you not to make a fuss when I'm at work.
I hate you.
You only upset him more.
Where exactly is that library?
It's all right. Just please take him home.
We're already outside, so tell me where it is.
Just don't.
But Eun-u's throwing a tantrum.
He can't always get what he wants.
Just be strict with him. I need to get back to work,
so I'll call you later.
WOORI PHARMACY
Hope you enjoy. Thank you.
EPISODE 8 WILL AIR SHORTLY
Good work today. That's it for today's class.
-Okay. Thank you. -Thank you.
EPISODE 8
You're getting better by the day.
If I hadn't gotten married at such a young age,
I would've pursued an artistic career.
You can still do it.
It's too late for this lifetime.
Why is he calling me?
Hi, Si-hoon. Yes, what's up?
Everything is fine with us, of course.
Why did you call?
Oh, really?
Sure, by all means. What about Seo-in?
Right. Anyway, okay.
I'll give her a call as well.
All right. Take it easy.
What's gotten into him?
Your son-in-law?
Yes. He wants to come over for dinner in a few days.
Level three.
The door is opening.
Going up.
The door is closing.
Why haven't I heard anything?
I'm still thinking about it.
What's there to think about?
You know that it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I'll be hosting it alone, so there will be a lot of pressure.
Isn't a little bit of pressure essential when it comes to work?
-The door is opening. -Don't think too hard.
-Okay. I'll let you know my decision soon. -Going up.
The decision has already been made by the higher-ups.
Just make up your mind.
-This opportunity... -The door is closing.
will help you generate a career breakthrough.
The door is closing.
-Is Mr. Kwon-- -Oh, he went to the dentist.
-The dentist? -That's what he said.
I see.
Okay. He went to the dentist?
I'm Dr. Nam's father-in-law. Can I speak to him?
I'll keep it short, so tell him to step out for a second.
Tell him it's his father-in-law.
Yes.
Hey, Si-hoon. It's me. You must be busy.
Well, I called because it looks like
the chief director has an appointment with you today.
Oh, he's not there yet?
Well, could you take extra good care of him?
All right, sounds good.
It sure is nice to have a son-in-law who is a dentist.
Yes, get back to work.
One more thing. You see,
you don't need to tell him that I called.
Don't worry.
Yes, we'll take good care of him. Speak to you soon. Bye.
I told you I can't take any calls when I'm with patients.
Got it.
A patient named Kwon Yeong-guk has an appointment today.
-Here. -He's here.
-Hello. -Mr. Kwon, how have you been?
-It's been a while. -I know. Come on in.
I'm a little early.
It's okay. It's for a quick checkup, so you can come in now.
Have you eaten yet?
-I'm going to eat after this. -I see.
I actually met up with Gi-seok for a drink recently.
-Really? -Yes.
He's been saying he's too busy to see me since the transfer.
I guess he wanted my advice on the marriage issue.
What issue?
Well, I'm not saying they're having problems.
He asked me how he can build a happy marriage.
We're practically family, you know.
You're a funny man.
What do you mean you're family?
We will be, in the near future. That's what I meant.
Please have a seat.
I'll lower the chair.
You can cover his face now.
Something must be up with Ji-ho.
-Is he feeling unwell? -He's doing that again?
I can see you in the reflection.
And I'm fine.
Do something productive instead of standing around being all fidgety.
Goodness. Ye-seul, what's the matter with her?
We're just worried about you.
You've been skipping lunch, and all you do is look out the window.
I don't have much of an appetite, and I have a lot on my mind these days.
-It's because of a woman, right? -Seriously?
No, obviously.
-Why not? -Why not?
Hey, the fact that we said the same thing simultaneously
proves that you're wrong.
There's no one right answer. People come from all walks of life.
Giving up without even trying is also a habit.
I've told you that your life is important too.
I'm telling you as someone who's been through it.
You're doing yourself a disservice by doing something you'd regret.
Get going soon.
-Are you closed? -No, we're still open.
-Thank you. -No problem.
I got a deep paper cut. I put on a bandage for now.
What about ointment...
We also have hydrocolloid bandages, which you can just put on the skin.
I'll get the bandage.
There are different sizes. You can pick what you need.
Okay, thank you.
I heard you and Jeong-in know each other.
I work with her.
-I see. -Oh, no.
Here you go.
Is Jeong-in
doing well?
So?
Hey, what do you want to hear?
Is there really something going on?
Hey, Yeong-ju.
You'd better be honest with me.
Even the last time you talked about him, I thought it was so odd.
Stop talking nonsense.
By the way, did he say anything else?
Anything else? Like what?
Oh, he asked if you're doing well. I said you're doing fine.
I asked him why he was asking...
Shit! Hold on. Just a second.
What happened?
Hello?
Yeong-ju.
Hello?
Mom, you know... When you're sending me side dishes...
Yes. The other kind of kimchi
-and other things-- -Hey, what's happening?
Yes, send me some kimchi.
I forgot for a moment that he's my neighbor.
I thought he followed me to the convenience store to ask about you.
Hello?
Finish what you were saying earlier.
What did he say when you asked him why he was asking about me?
He said, "I was just wondering if all is well with her."
Why are you all quiet?
Jeong-in.
What do you want me to say?
By the way, what did he buy?
What did I buy? I picked up--
No, him.
I think he bought some food. It must've been for dinner.
Hey, what's up with these questions?
Hey, Yeong-ju. Let's talk later. I have to do something.
All of a sudden?
Okay, fine.
Did you hang out with Jeong-in's brother-in-law recently?
He told me at his clinic today.
Yes, I met up with him briefly a little while ago.
You should keep your distance.
Getting too close won't do you any good.
I'll figure it out.
You say that all the time.
What are your interests anyway?
Working to earn enough money to spend
and playing sports with your buddies? That's all?
Thank you.
-You may leave for the day. -Yes, sir.
Thank you.
I haven't said anything and have let you date Jeong-in until now,
but it wasn't because I like her.
You stopped talking about wanting to get back into music
after you started dating her, so I just let you be.
You seem to have finally gotten yourself together,
so I think you should end your relationship with her.
You've never met her formally though.
I don't need to meet her to know.
I told you that marriage is a business.
Try to look at the big picture.
Whatever you say, I won't break up with her right now.
Don't get too serious with her.
I might marry her.
You fool.
Do you love her to death?
So, you need the basketball court?
Yes.
I'll tell the staff in the admin office, so you can call them.
-Number One! -Hey, here!
-Hey! -Mark him.
-No! -Hey.
-Move! -Go, guys! Let's win!
You got this!
One more time!
-You got this! -Go!
Go for it!
Hey!
Let's go.
Should we have gone to a proper grocery store?
That way, we can cook.
I'm a better cook than you are.
I don't care who cooks.
I should ask Mom to bring us some side dishes.
She's probably still mad at me.
Does Mom know that you're here?
She found out a while ago.
Right. I told Seo-in, not you.
No wonder I haven't heard from Mom.
You're such a troublemaker.
-"You're such a troublemaker." -Hey.
I'm sorry.
Seo-in.
Seo-in?
You said you'd nap for just a few minutes, but it's been over an hour.
Are you that tired these days?
I haven't been sleeping well.
Is Si-hoon here?
Yes, he rang the buzzer from the parking lot.
That's why I came in to wake you up.
By the way, where did he have to go on his day off?
Oh, he said he had to take care of something.
Why do you ask?
Well, just because.
You guys could've come together.
You two can't go home together because you came separately.
-I'll be out in a minute. -Okay.
You didn't have to get anything. Why did you buy so many things?
It's nothing. I just bought some red ginseng and honey.
Take them regularly. I heard they're good for you.
You didn't have to make all this food. Thank you, Mother.
No problem at all. Dig in.
Okay, thank you.
How's your clinic doing?
I hear most clinics aren't doing well these days.
I'm actually thinking of expanding the clinic.
Do it if you need more space. How much bigger?
Nothing is concrete yet. I should start planning.
Location is everything. Pick an area where rich people live.
The problem is that those areas are expensive.
Gosh, it shouldn't factor into the decision.
The more you invest, the more you'll earn.
Don't look far for an example. We have one right here.
She met Si-hoon after becoming a news anchor, you know.
I could only meet her because I chose to become a dentist.
I wouldn't have been able to meet this successful woman otherwise.
Oh, right. I met up with Gi-seok the other day.
-Really? -Yes.
He seemed quite stressed out because of Jeong-in.
Is that right? What did he say?
Why do you keep making him uncomfortable?
I think he wants to marry her as soon as possible.
He asked me for advice.
And that being said,
I think we should help him out.
You should've told him to take control over the matter.
Jeong-in doesn't really mean what she says.
He should just take the lead.
Is Jeong-in an obedient dog or what?
I won't ask for a lot.
Can you please be mindful of the basic manners at least?
Keep this in mind.
If you do what you did to me to Jeong-in,
you'll lose her for good.
Shouldn't you call her first?
Do you think Mom will answer my call now?
She's mad at me, not you.
She must be so upset with me for totally fooling her.
What should I get for Mom? What can make her anger go away?
Whatever you buy, only Dad will get excited.
Did you put away what was in these?
The vitamins? I gave them to someone.
Who? All of it?
You weren't taking them.
Were you taking them?
Jae-in, should I teach you a lesson?
Is your body feeling okay?
-Oh, thank you. -Thank you.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Here, this one is yours.
-Pass them around. -Let's drink until we drop.
-Thank you. -This one is yours.
-Shall we clink our glasses? -Is the pharmacy open today?
Don't keep me waiting.
-Good work today. -Well done, everyone.
Yes, we're open.
You should eat though.
-What's going on? -It sounds like an emergency.
I'll eat when I get home.
Get home safely.
Guys, let's drink.
-Bye. -Bye.
Why didn't you just say we're about to get a divorce?
Right. I'm sure you're afraid.
It'll bring disgrace to your perfect life.
You can try to ruin my life all you want.
Just leave my sisters alone.
Hey, what did I do to Jae-in and Jeong-in?
I didn't even talk to them on the phone for the past year and a half.
Don't act like you don't get what I'm saying.
Jeong-in can decide whether she'll get married.
Don't stick your nose into her business and tell her what to do.
Jeez.
You're acting up like this because I've been easy on you.
-Come here. -Let go.
-I said, come here. -What do you want?
Come here! Jeez.
Gosh.
WOORI PHARMACY
Security deactivated.
Crap. Darn it.
You're off today, right? What are you up to?
WOORI PHARMACY
You're here.
I guess you couldn't leave because of me.
A customer left just now.
By the way, where's your lab coat?
I was just about to leave.
Those vitamins... I want to buy them again.
Why? You didn't like them?
It's not that. I misplaced them, so I need to buy them again.
Which ones, specifically?
What was in those bags?
So, you didn't take any?
I don't like taking pills.
I feel bad saying that to a pharmacist.
I don't like reading books.
You must lack in culture.
You must be nutrient deficient.
I see that you can boast.
I'm better at playing dumb, after scolding people.
You call that "scolding"?
Not just spanking is considered as scolding.
-Spill. -It will happen.
-Then it is happening. -Finally.
Guys, Gi-seok is finally getting hitched.
-Finally! -Congratulations!
Gi-seok! You did it!
-Don't leave us. -Not now. We're just planning.
-It's not set in stone yet. -Either way, you are getting married.
Right, I will. I mean, eventually.
You're living the life.
Don't be the only one enjoying all the good things.
-Help us out here. Right, guys? -Yes, totally.
-Definitely. -Yes, please. Help us out.
Help us out.
-Help us out, Gi-seok. -Hey, wait.
Gi-seok, let's put it into action today.
What are you talking about?
Tell your girlfriend to join us,
but she has to bring a friend who's single.
-Good idea, right? -Great idea.
-Good idea. -Nice one.
Where did you guys learn these tricks?
Gi-seok, take your phone out.
It's getting late. I can't call her now.
-Come on. -It's not...
She's resting at home. Why bother her at this late hour?
Come on. Help us out.
-Don't you feel bad for us? -Just drink and go home.
Construction rarely happens here. It's so noisy, right?
I'm leaving soon, so it's okay.
Come on in.
Take the call inside.
Hey, were you sleeping?
No. What's up?
Well, I'm out having drinks with the guys,
but they kept asking me to call you.
Jeong-in, come and join us!
-No. -We're waiting for you.
It sounds like you drank a lot. Go home.
Yes, I should go home soon.
Jeong-in, do you want to join us briefly?
-Even you're being like this? -Okay, all right.
Then just stay home. I'll come by in a bit.
No, don't come.
Hey, let me see you. We need to make up.
Wait for me.
I said, don't come.
It's a hassle for you.
I'LL DRIVE YOU HOME NOW, SO TELL HIM TO COME
No, I'm listening.
You asked me.
What do you want me to do?
I never asked.
I'll just take a taxi home.
That's not what I'm asking.
You know what I'm talking about.
Do you want me to stop you?
You tell me. What do you want from me?
What do you want me to do?
Should I tell you not to worry about the fact that I'm taken?
Do you want me to be the only bad one?
Then why did you even come to the library?
I wanted to see you.
I'm...
What I want to say is...
First off, I'm sorry.
You're right.
I went there to see you on a whim without a plan,
and I dumped it all on you, asking you to make a choice.
So that whenever anyone asks me,
I could say, "I didn't do anything.
I wasn't even interested,
but Lee Jeong-in seduced me."
I was looking for such lame excuses.
In that sense, I'm not any better.
I pestered you to be my friend,
and I called you when I didn't need to.
And like today, I came up with plausible excuses to come see you.
At this late hour.
I guess I was more lame, after all.
I'm sorry too.
There's nothing I can do for you.
That's not true.
I'm so glad
I got to know you.
You're a good person.
No, I'm not.
I'm getting bad desires now.
I won't expect anything from you,
so just let me see you.
I promise I won't get caught.
No, that's not right.
I understand how you feel, but--
I'm talking about you.
I won't get caught by you.
If we just let ourselves follow these feelings,
it'll be much harder for me to stop.
And things will be a lot harder for you.
Help me. I need your help, Jeong-in.
You really don't want to get married? We won't get married.
I won't bring it up. Happy now?
Do you think I'm an idiot
because I haven't brought it up?
Do you really think I wouldn't know what your parents think about me?
I'm going to break up with Gi-seok.
Do you like the pharmacist that much? Enough to end your relationship?
The nasty war has begun.
Your boyfriend won't let you go.
I want to talk to you. Let's meet.
-What did you want to talk about? -Let's break up.
Did something happen?
Am I the only one having a hard time? You're fine?
-I guess you're totally fine. -You shouldn't have come here.
What do you expect me to do if you show up now...
