Good morning, Girlfriend.
Who is this...
handsome man I'm seeing first thing in the morning?
Your boyfriend.
I guess I got really lucky.
Are you sure you don't want to sleep in?
I slept well.
I feel so refreshed.
Let's get ready to go out, then.
We need to take pictures together.
I'll pack lunch.
Then I'll get...
the mat and camera.
(Episode 31)
Young Gu.
Young Gu. Wake up, Young Gu.
Young Gu. Young Gu.
The more...
he obtains human feelings...
I mean, the more...
he loves Eom Da Da,
the more fragile Zero Nine will get.
Actually, it may have already begun.
His meltdown.
Hello?
Please help, Bo Won.
Something is wrong with Young Gu.
Young Gu collapsed, and he can't wake up or even open his eyes.
Please help. Please come here at once.
It's nothing, right?
He collapsed without a reason last time too.
What's wrong with Young Gu?
Is there a problem?
Manager Ko.
A meltdown?
What is that?
It's a phenomenon where the hardware starts to melt...
when the heat from the software's operation...
exceeds the maximum coverage of the cooling system.
So...
to simply explain it, it's a sort of overload.
It's just like how cellphones or laptops...
grow hot when they're used for a long time.
When robots reach their maximum limits,
they cause problems.
A strong heat must've been continuously generated inside him...
while Zero Nine was staying with you.
That must've been expressed like a heartbroken person.
I mean,
why is that overload happening?
Well...
Based on what I've seen until now,
Zero Nine was more than a mere robot.
He was already learning human emotions.
I think things like that caused the overload.
Girlfriend.
Young Gu.
Girlfriend.
Bo Won.
Manager Ko is here too.
Zero Nine, are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay. I'm fine.
Are you really okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
Right. We should go on a picnic.
I'll prepare the lunch soon.
No. It's okay.
I think we should go on a picnic next time.
It's okay, Girlfriend. We made a promise.
I can prepare it soon. Just wait a moment.
Young Gu.
What are you doing?
Are you okay?
I tried to get out lunchboxes, but this broke.
I'm sorry, everyone. You were surprised, right?
Young Gu, are you okay?
I'm okay. I'm...
Zero Nine...
What's wrong with me?
I should quickly prepare lunch.
What about tuna gimbap, Girlfriend?
Would sandwiches be better?
Young Gu, you should stop.
Bo Won, I'm fine.
Young Gu.
I'm really okay.
I'm fine.
Young Gu.
Stop.
Let's rest now, okay?
Girlfriend.
I'm fine.
I'm okay.
So don't worry.
The meltdown has progressed further than we thought.
I think we should minimize his actions before it gets worse.
Even talking and moving alone...
will accelerate the meltdown.
Is it that bad?
This isn't good.
We're supposed to go on a picnic.
We're to nap on a mat on the grass,
take photos together...
Young Gu.
Bo Won.
Young Gu.
You trust me, right?
So take a break. I'll make you well again soon.
Get some rest.
Yes.
Think that you're getting some sleep.
Don't think about anything, don't do anything,
and just lie in comfort.
Okay?
Okay.
I promise.
But when I wake up,
I'll love you even more to make up for this.
It doesn't mean that your love stops...
just because you're lying down here.
So don't worry.
Girlfriend.
If that person is you,
It buzzes right here.
So...
can you not go?
this isn't programmed.
I love you.
Everything you said to me,
everything you did...
was at the expense of your melting heart?
I had no idea.
I didn't know.
I'll call the head office...
and ask if there's a way to fix Zero Nine.
A meltdown?
That's why a toy should act like one.
Manager Ko and Nam Bo Won...
are looking for a way to save Zero Nine.
What they do and find out,
I want you to spy on them and report back to me.
Don't leave anything out.
- Hwang In Hyuk. - My gosh.
Manager Ko.
- Who did you talk to. - What?
You mentioned Zero Nine's meltdown.
You didn't call Diana, did you?
Well...
Diana's more like a poison.
Don't stay around her.
I'm not.
I heard about Zero Nine's meltdown...
and called someone I know to see if they had any information.
Did you get anything?
Yes, he'll see what he can find and call back.
Okay. Help us out.
Make it up to Bo Won.
He's half the reason you still have your job.
- What? - While you were away,
Bo Won petitioned the head office...
a few times to take you back.
I heard that you two were a pair.
Though you won't think so.
Da Da.
I really don't want to work after that holiday.
I want to be jobless forever.
Da Da.
Where's your best friend?
He was always around.
I don't see Bo Won either.
Gosh, what should I do with this then?
Skin's immunity, protection and moisturizer
Hey, That's enough.
How dare the newbie slack off already?
I don't like him.
They both have something to take care of.
They won't be around for a while.
Something came up?
There's a problem.
We shoot soon, don't we?
I must discuss something with the assistant director.
Can you set up for me?
Hey, something's definitely wrong.
- Da Da's weird. - She's weird.
The call can't be connected.
Why won't he pick up?
Is something wrong?
Woong, we're finishing all the scenes on set today, right?
Woong.
Yes? What?
What's the matter? Is something wrong?
Well...
Bo Won hasn't been picking up since yesterday.
I'm worried.
You got me worried thinking something was wrong.
And isn't this a bit harsh?
Right in front of a newly-dumped guy?
Don't get into dating mode around me for a while.
You're helpless.
(Ma Wang Joon)
What do you mean?
Something came up with Young Gu...
and he can't do any stunts for a while.
Then you should've told me sooner.
You can't just drop this on me.
Sorry.
This is crazy.
I must find a replacement.
Sorry.
Da Da.
What's wrong?
Is Temp in trouble?
No, nothing's wrong.
Nice, nice.
Hey. Blood.
- Da Da. - Da Da.
Blood. Eom Da Da.
Blood.
Cut, cut!
The blood appeared too late!
What were you doing?
Sorry.
So what if you are?
Get away from me. It's not working out.
It should've spurted at the right time.
Go again!
Da Da.
You never make such mistakes,
and you've been out of it all day.
Are you sick?
No. I'm sorry.
It's not working.
What? You were fine for a while, but is it back again?
Breaking anything you touch?
Why not?
Anything I touch breaks.
Don't worry. It won't happen anymore.
Why won't it work?
Da Da.
-Why? - It was just a joke. What's the matter?
Why won't it work? Why?
It's because of me.
What now?
Don't cry.
(Real Special Effects Makeup)
Yoo Jin should help us with this. Where is he at this hour?
What is this? Seriously.
- Watch out, Da Da. - Okay.
Good work, Kyu Ri. I'll see you tomorrow.
Da Da.
You shouldn't come out for a while.
Just stay here.
What are you talking about? There will be so much work.
Don't be like that. Let me take care of the work.
You should stay next to Young Gu.
Kyu Ri.
So trust me,
and focus on your love this time.
Okay?
Thank you, Kyu Ri.
Everything will be okay.
Young Gu will get up too.
Da Da.
- Hello. - Yoo Jin.
What? Kyu Ri was here too.
What are you doing here? Didn't you go home?
Yes, I went home and came back.
I came to deliver these to you.
What are these?
Well, these are documents I have collected ever since...
I was interested in robots.
But I collected them as a hobby.
It's nothing professional.
Yoo Jin.
When I knew nothing about machines,
seeing things like these made me more interested...
and taught me things bit by bit.
You seemed so upset,
and I thought these might help.
Thank you, Yoo Jin.
No, it's nothing.
I can't give you the right data since I'm not a professional.
No.
Even Young Gu will be happy...
to know that you helped like this.
You're doing so much, Yoo Jin.
Of course.
We'll leave now, Da Da.
Goodbye.
And I'll let you know about that.
Okay. Thank you.
Young Gu is very sick.
I felt so bad about Young Gu,
so I couldn't manage to look at my phone.
I'm sorry.
I see.
No wonder.
Come on. Don't be so droopy.
It's nothing serious.
People get sick sometimes too.
It'll be the same with Young Gu.
Just think of it that he caught a cold between the seasons.
No, add a bit more to that...
and think that he's suffering from flu.
Let's think of it like that.
The gym instructor I met when I was young said this.
"People must get sick once in a while."
He said that people must get sick...
to strengthen their immune system and grow strong.
Young Gu will become stronger after going through this.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Girlfriend.
Don't go.
Did you wake up because of me?
I'm sorry for waking you up.
I came here because I missed you so much.
I really missed you too.
Girlfriend.
Please hold my hand.
No.
You might get worse because of me.
It scares me.
What are you talking about?
I move because of you...
and live because of you.
This is nice.
I feel stronger.
Including Yoo Jin and Kyu Ri,
everyone is worried about you and cheering for you.
So hang in there just a bit longer.
Eom Da Da.
Is Temp in trouble?
No, nothing's wrong.
Eom Da Da.
Gosh...
Why is she looking like that all day?
That girl...
It's your timeline for tomorrow.
All right. Thanks.
Were you able to reach that Nam Bo Won person?
Yes.
That's good to hear.
Why was he out of reach all day?
Well... He said Young Gu isn't doing so well.
- What? - I think it's something serious.
I felt so bad for him. His face looked so sunken.
What made you come here?
I heard from Yeo Woong.
What's wrong with him?
He's having some difficulties.
What difficulties?
I don't know any further, either.
Can they fix him?
They're finding a way.
"Finding"?
What's this?
Yoo Jin brought it to help out.
Hey, Eom Da Da.
Do you even understand any of this?
I need to do something!
I can't just sit around doing nothing, can I?
Didn't I tell you?
I told you that you'd have a hard time.
I told you this would happen one day.
If you dared to leave me for him,
then you should be happy.
You should only smile.
You're supposed to make me go crazy with jealousy...
and bitter with regret...
for letting you go.
Do you think this is why I sent you to him?
Look.
Just look at him.
What can you do...
when he's just lying there like that?
There's nothing you can do, is there?
If he were human, you could give up a body part for him,
but you can't do that for him.
It won't work!
But it's the same way the other way around.
- That's enough. - No, it's not!
Even if you get past this incident,
this is going to keep happening. Actually,
worse things are going to keep coming up.
- Are you okay with that? - I said that's enough!
This is why I didn't tell you.
Why did you come here?
Did you come here to torment me like this?
I'm already miserable as is.
Go away.
I said go away!
Don't cry in front of me.
I told you not to make her cry.
Sir!
What are you doing?
- Did you stay here all night? - I found it, sir.
Found what?
I was searching for data from Europe,
Among one of the early models,
there's a robot that also suffered from a meltdown...
although its symptoms weren't exactly the same as Young Gu's.
There's a component that was made just once...
due to the request made by the owner of that model.
And it's called a heart-cooler.
A heart-cooler?
It's a component that helps to control the overheating symptom.
Once they installed this to the robot,
the overheating decreased by 85 percent.
And ever since then, it's been working just fine.
We can’t predict the error range...
since this robot had different symptoms.
But clinically speaking, the numbers do show signs of hope.
But will it be possible for us to get this component?
After what happened,
the head office made another one for research purposes.
And that's currently the one and only heart-cooler that's left.
It's because the cost of making one heart-cooler...
is as expensive as making a whole new robot.
So we have to get that heart-cooler no matter what.
Sir, do you think we'll be able to get it?
I'll send an official request to the head office...
and ask them to give us an approval as fast as possible.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Sure.
Yes!
Da Da!
(Workroom)
Bo Won, what brings you here at this hour?
Da Da.
I think I found a way to save Young Gu.
What?
There's a component called the heart-cooler.
Manager Ko just sent an email to the head office.
We're waiting for their reply.
We'll be able to fix everything as long as we have that component.
I'm so relieved.
Sir, the head office just sent you their reply.
Okay, thanks.
(Episode 32 will air shortly.)
(Episode 32)
Sir.
How did it go?
What's this?
They rejected our request?
What do you mean they rejected your request?
They refused to provide the heart-cooler for Zero Nine.
Why? Why can't they give it to him?
The biggest reason is because the head office...
suffered a great deal of damage because of Zero Nine.
Plus, the heart-cooler can no longer be produced.
So I think they decided that it'll be best to just keep it.
It's not like we're asking them to make one for us.
Why are they refusing to send us something that's just sitting there?
The heart-cooler...
was never a part of Zero Nine.
So they have no reason to risk any damages by sending it to us.
This is a business, so they only care about profit.
Tell them to bring that heart-cooler or whatever it's called.
Wang Joon.
Didn't you hear me?
Tell them to bring that heart-cooler...
before Ma Wang Joon gets angry.
What? What do you mean?
Have you all forgotten already?
Did you forget what Zero Ten...
looked like?
He looked exactly like me.
You know who I am, right?
I'm Ma Wang Joon.
My portrait rights cost a lot, you know.
Does it really cost a lot?
Yes.
And from what I heard,
your company's number one priority is confidentiality.
Then what do you think would happen to you guys...
if I tell this to the press...
and cause a huge issue?
You said your company is all about doing business, right?
So let me explain this in a way that could affect the business.
Tell the head office to bring that heart-cooler before I cause...
an issue by sending a certification of contents to them.
And let them know that this is a threat, not a business deal.
Okay, Mr. Ma.
That will be enough to get the head office to cooperate.
- Bo Won. - Yes?
- Can you help me with this? - Of course, sir.
Thank you.
You don't need to thank me. I didn't do it to help you.
I just...
threw a fit because I hate Kronos Heaven...
for making those darn robots.
Da Da.
So please stop crying.
- I'm sorry. - Stop saying that as well.
I don't even know why I'm doing this either.
I'm the biggest fool ever.
Right?
Da Da! Da Da!
They just approved.
- Really? - Yes.
An employee from the head office will be arriving at 10am tomorrow...
at Incheon International Airport to give it to us.
I'm so relieved.
I'd love to go and get it myself.
But I'm not working for the company right now.
Manager Ko will be getting it himself.
We should take Young Gu to the lab and have him prepared.
Okay, thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
What? A heart-cooler?
Yes, someone from the head office is coming to Incheon Airport...
at 10am tomorrow to give it to them.
Even the head office is getting involved...
to save a robot?
I can't just sit back and do nothing.
I really hate happy endings.
I want you to bring it.
What?
Me?
Your company is a secret organization.
So they'll never give that component to unauthorized personnel.
And it'll be no fun to just take it...
from them by force.
I want you to snatch it from them and bring it to me.
That'll be the most interesting way to handle this.
- I can't do this. - What?
I don't think I can keep doing this.
Manager Ko has started to become suspicious of me.
And I feel uneasy about coming here so frequently.
On top of that, it stings my conscience to see...
Bo Won being so sad all the time.
I'm going to quit now.
Plus, if I snatch the component, everyone will know that it was me.
So it'll be a matter of time before I get fired.
Will you take responsibility if that happens?
Responsibility?
So that's what you want?
How do you want me to take responsibility?
- Money? How much do you want? - What?
Do you think I'd do anything for money?
Of course.
That's why you sold out your friend. Stop acting so innocent.
Don't even bother trying to bribe me.
Are you sure about that?
I know how desperate you are for money.
No, I'm not.
Wait a minute.
Did you guys do a background check on me?
Of course.
Why would I trust you?
But...
I do trust your weakness.
Now, I finally understand...
why there's no one by your side...
and why everyone always ends up leaving you.
Forget it. I don't need your money.
I'd rather struggle a little than live the rest of my life...
working for you like a slave.
(Congratulations on our 7th year anniversary.)
Bo Won told me...
that you helped Young Gu get the component.
You're really amazing.
I'm nothing near amazing.
I still don't want their relationship to work out.
When I heard that something was wrong with him,
I actually felt happy.
I think I'm a really bad guy.
To be honest,
I don't want him to wake up.
But if he doesn't wake up,
it'll break Da Da's heart.
And the one thing I hate the most is seeing her cry.
So I kind of want him to wake up at the same time.
I sound crazy, don't I?
No.
I totally understand how you feel.
Come here, my brother.
What are you doing?
Get away from me. You're being gross.
- Come here. - My gosh.
Okay, fine.
Da Da, come this way.
So I guess this is...
where you were born, Young Gu.
If we get married, will this place become my in-laws?
That was a joke.
I wonder if that made you laugh.
My boyfriend.
Sleep tight.
And sweet dreams.
I really miss hearing you...
call me...
"Girlfriend".
I want you to give me a hug the moment you wake up.
Okay?
I love you.
This is Ko Ji Seok.
I'm almost there. Wait a second.
Mr. Ko?
How much are you going to pay me?
I'm Hwang In Hyuk from Kronos Heaven Korea.
Our head director, Mr. Ko, ordered me...
to pick up the heart-cooler from you.
He told me that he's coming himself in person to pick up the package.
Oh, Mr. Ko is waiting outside.
He asked me to take it.
- Can you show me some ID? - Sure.
Here you go.
Thank you.
I just got here. Where are you?
What are you talking about? I already handed it to your staff.
You what?
I don't know what you mean.
A member of the Korean branch staff...
just came to me and said you were waiting outside.
Hwang In Hyuk!
Oh my gosh... Stop right there!
- Please start the car. - Did you call with the app?
- Yes, so please go. - Is your number 3371?
Yes! Just go!
Hey! Hwang In Hyuk!
Hwang In Hyuk!
Da Da.
Young Gu will wake up in minutes when the heart-cooler arrives.
Okay.
It's Manager Ko.
Yes, sir. We're waiting for...
What do you mean?
Is this the heart-cooler?
So this is their last hope?
You have to keep your promise.
All right.
Girlfriend,
you must have had a hard time.
From beginning to end, I was never yours.
You have...
no right to be loved by anyone.
I feel sorry.
I feel sorry for you.
What?
Why would Hwang In Hyuk take that?
He must have been abetted by Diana.
Diana?
Let's meet up at her house.
But...
That Diana...
Eom Da Da!
You're pretty.
What should I do with you?
Let go of me.
I must go in there.
I must go.
You're making us get in trouble.
Come out here!
What is this?
Call out that girl immediately.
Tell her to come out immediately.
Hello. It's been a while.
What are you doing here?
Are you here for this?
What do you think? Isn't it pretty?
I like pretty things like this.
Just looking at it makes people want it.
Hand over that heart-cooler immediately.
Young Gu needs that.
It's something really important.
That's right.
That's why I have this.
What is it that you want?
I'll do anything.
I'm not sure.
I think I already have what I want.
Just lash out your anger on me instead.
Young Gu did nothing wrong.
I kissed him in the first place,
and I stole him from you in the beginning.
So your anger should be toward me.
That's why I'm doing this right now.
Watch carefully now.
Watch how the scrap metal you loved so dearly...
gets broken...
and falls apart.
Diana.
Please return the heart-cooler.
What do you think you're doing?
Da Da.
Please.
Please return it.
Please.
That's cool.
Is this the love...
that scrap metal talked about?
I feel touched.
Then I should give you a prize.
Young Gu.
Stop.
It doesn't mean that your love stops...
just because you're lying down here.
Girlfriend.
Hey, Zero Nine. What are you doing?
Get in your room immediately.
Get off me. Get off!
Get off me.
- Get off me. - Calm down.
- Please leave. - Do you think this is the end?
- Let go. - Let's talk this over.
Diana!
Stop. Stop.
We should at least retrieve the shards of the heart-cooler.
It's the only part in this world.
We should retrieve that and reassemble it.
We should try something with Young Gu.
You know better than anyone...
that it's impossible.
Hello?
What?
Zero Nine disappeared?
Search the cameras nearby and figure where he's going first.
Manager Ko.
Zero Nine must have turned on his power on his own.
He won't have collapsed somewhere...
in safeguard mode, right?
I'll go to the company.
You should check Da Da's house first.
Okay, sir. Da Da.
Ken will end up being shattered too, right?
Anyone who doesn't listen to me will end up like that.
Ran.
Did you understand?
Yes.
I understand.
What are you doing right now?
Miss.
I didn't call you.
I came to get the money you promised me.
Right now? So suddenly?
Stop talking, and give me my money.
I don't want to get involved with a jerk like you anymore.
I can't give you that.
What?
I thought...
that breaking the heart-cooler would be fun.
But it was lame.
Are you fooling around with me?
I abandoned everyone because of this.
Because of money.
So stop talking nonsense and bring me what you owe.
Yes.
So remember your place and obey me.
You owe more interest now than you initially borrowed.
Your mom's still waiting for her turn to receive a heart.
Isn't she far down the list?
Can she wait until her surgery?
I doubt it.
Do you know what you're saying?
You will be punished one day.
Punishments...
are for people like you with no money.
I'm the one who punishes others.
After today,
I don't think Kronos Heaven will sell me any more toys.
So if you want your money,
find a way for me to get a new toy.
Young Gu. Young Gu.
Young Gu.
Girlfriend.
Young Gu.
Why did you leave Kronos Heaven?
Did you walk here in bare feet?
- I'm sorry. - Why are you apologizing?
I came inside...
without any shoes on.
I'm sorry for passing out.
For being sick without permission.
I'm sorry...
for everything.
I left because I was worried about you.
Don't be so silly.
Come here.
I was afraid because you were gone.
There's so much I want to say...
and want to hear from you.
I was so afraid I'd never see you again.
Young Gu. Young Gu.
What now?
When I opened my eyes, tears were falling down.
Thanks to Girlfriend, it felt as if I was really human.
Isn't that fascinating?
They weren't tears.
The immersion cooler...
inside your head was malfunctioning,
and the liquid leaked like tears.
It's clear proof that the meltdown is getting worse.
What meltdown?
What are you saying?
Bo Won.
Bo Won, why...
It's me.
It's all my fault.
You spent time with Da Da and slowly became manlike,
and I failed to see how going beyond...
robot boundaries was breaking you down.
Girlfriend.
Does she know?
There was only one solution,
but Diana ruined that.
Even after Da Da went on her knees.
She broke it in front of our eyes.
Girlfriend.
Is Bo Won gone?
No.
He asked if he can sleep on the first floor tonight.
That's great.
He must be worried about you.
What's wrong, Girlfriend?
It's my fault.
It's my fault you're like this.
It's not, Girlfriend.
No.
It is.
I'm the problem.
It's because you met me,
became my boyfriend,
and fell in love with me.
You're like this because of me.
I said it's not.
It's not, Da Da.
Stop crying.
What should I do, Young Gu?
What am I to do if you die?
I won't die.
I'm a robot. How can I die?
And even if people die,
they don't go anywhere.
They remain in memories.
You said so.
It's a lie.
When we first met...
I've already forgotten if you said...
"Hello, Girlfriend"...
or "Girlfriend, hello".
That's how useless a human's memory is.
You don't know how scary it is to forget.
I don't want you to be just part of my memory.
I don't want to reminisce about you.
So don't die, Young Gu.
Don't disappear. Stay by my side.
Share an umbrella when it rains,
see the stars together,
cook Jeon together, and dance with me.
Okay?
We promised to stay together for a long time.
You promised.
Okay?
Okay, Girlfriend.
Let's do that.
