(Episode 12)
Me.
I'm talking about my feelings for you.
Spring of 2019.
Ms. Lim and I had started working on the script long before then,
and we had definitely changed.
And I wanted to confirm...
whether this adrenaline is shooting through my body...
because I'm embarrassed...
about realizing that my feelings for someone I worked with changed,
or because I'm excited...
about my second love which began through work.
- Confirm... - Confirm.
What?
I knew it.
How could you...
- back away from me now? - I stepped back.
- Did I threaten you? - You said you liked me.
So that's why you stepped back?
- Because you came toward me. - Would I hit you?
You're probably a better fighter.
You tried to kiss me. Confirm, my foot.
What is this, the "Reply" series?
You look like Jung Bong.
Don't belittle someone based on looks.
Plus, what's wrong with Jung Bong?
And I wasn't trying to kiss you.
Then what were you going to do?
I thought you didn't hear me,
so I walked toward you to say it up close.
Why are you getting mad?
I was trying to look cool.
How could you back away right then?
I guess you seemed intimidating.
I said I liked you. So how...
Saying you like me can be intimidating.
What...
Just say you don't feel the same if you don't.
It's because I don't not feel the same.
You don't not feel the same, so it was intimidating?
That doesn't make sense.
I'm saying my feelings for you...
aren't not the same.
Your feelings for me aren't not the same...
means you have feelings for me.
- That's right. - And that's intimidating?
That's right.
Why?
Because we're working together right now.
So?
We're working together...
with not just any feelings, but with romantic feelings.
How could we deal with that properly?
Why is this a matter that must be dealt with properly?
Are we having an affair?
Are you married?
Why didn't I ask you that before?
Why did I assume you were single?
Look.
Yes, I'm single, but...
Don't you think about the effect that these feelings...
toward your boyfriend or girlfriend would have on work?
- You're a professional. - Be professional?
Sure, that's good and all, but...
we like each other already.
I didn't say I like you. I said I don't not have feelings for you.
That's the same thing.
If you say...
you'll put your feelings for me away while working,
can you actually put them away?
You should exchange feelings toward each other...
and then discuss what to do thereafter.
Are you yelling at me?
Why are you getting emotional again?
Because you're being contradictory.
- That's reality. - Exactly. It's reality,
so we can't keep pretending we don't know.
Fine. Well.
Let's sit and talk.
Fine. Let's go.
Is this going to be a debate?
We were hiding it just well enough...
and doing just well enough.
You were doing well until now.
Why are you suddenly showing your feelings?
I wasn't doing well until now.
You've probably never lost someone you like while you sat around,
but you need to know how urgent it feels.
Especially on a day like this.
I felt so threatened.
What? Why? What for?
Because of Hwan Dong?
Were you jealous?
Let's not talk about extraneous topics.
It isn't extraneous.
Are you afraid I'll be like a girl in a drama,
letting things get complicated because of an ex-boyfriend...
or something cliché like that?
Do you know how frightening clichés are?
Why are those overplayed clichés constantly used in romcoms?
Because they happen all the time.
You really were jealous.
Let's just say I was concerned.
Things would've resolved themselves if you had continued...
just doing your job well.
Things would've resolved themselves?
When a man likes a woman, he is like a seven-year-old kid.
A seven-year-old cannot have that matter-of-fact attitude.
Right, you baby.
You baby?
Okay, I understand.
What is it?
Wait, he asked you out, and you had a 100-minute debate?
A bit over 100 minutes. It was very meaningful.
You two are very classy.
You two should make an educational program, not a drama.
And you two weren't in touch for a day when you work together?
I write my script alone.
So what's the result of that meaningful debate?
- Postponed. - Postponed.
How can you postpone something like that?
We got hungry after debating for too long, so we went to eat.
I wanted to continue, but he's a huge health geek.
He suddenly started talking about the effect of dried radish greens.
It's supposedly great for arteriosclerosis.
Then we got a bit sober and wanted to drink more soju... And whatever.
- Are you whining? - I'm annoyed.
- Then why are you smiling? - Because I'm insane.
You're cute. But why do you like him?
I enjoy spending time with him.
I'm not annoyed even when he does something annoying.
He's a nerd, but he's cute.
He plays the guitar well. He sings well.
And he's a good cook.
Ta-Da. The beautiful outcome.
He's good at growing plants.
He doesn't use cologne, but he smells good.
We speak the same language. It's almost unpleasant.
He's unexpectedly considerate, and diligent, just as I thought.
You should write while lying on your stomach.
He always brushes his teeth after he eats...
and washes his hands after using the toilet.
He always asks if I want dumplings when we eat cold noodles.
And he eats all the broth when he eats cold noodles.
If I can't finish mine, he finishes mine too.
I get worried when I don't see him.
I wonder if he ate or if he's just drinking again.
He's oddly charming in the way that he makes me worried. Darn it.
Why are there so many reasons? My pride is hurt.
You probably can't sleep, can you? It's like that for everyone.
You send a text saying, "Asleep?" Then they say, "Not yet."
Then you ask, "Why not?"
They send "Why not?" at once...
and begin to wonder what you'll say, and you end up saying, "Jinx!"
It's only natural. Don't be caught off-guard.
I said it to her because I got too restless.
But I ended up...
bringing down the temperature when we should be heated up.
It's a very complicated situation.
I got into this knowing Da Mi liked you, so I don't mind that.
But why does she only stare at her phone around me?
If I try not to be conscious at work, it means I'm conscious.
I think she has about 50,000 group chats.
But I couldn't let her just go when her ex-boyfriend offered...
to walk her home or something.
And he's my junior too. Darn it.
She's always using that chat app,
but it takes half a day for her to read my message.
I said it myself, but postponing it? Goodness.
She has a lot of male friends too.
Does she do this to all those guys?
I need to prove that our feelings don't impact our work.
And I'll reduce the postponement as much as I can.
If you text her, she'll read it right away.
Hey, can you send a message to Da Mi?
- What? - What?
- What? Weren't you listening to me? - Weren't you listening to me?
You should hear me out first before you begin.
I think I started this first.
When did you get here?
That's a very tough question.
There are more people here than I thought.
- You're here. - I'm sorry that I'm late.
One more cup, please.
Where's Ha Yoon? Isn't she here with you?
Did you two break up? I'm right, aren't I?
Even so, how can she not come? Wait, why are you here?
She has another appointment. Eat up. Eat and shut your mouth.
How can I eat this now?
My heart races whenever I break up.
It's not the end, but the start of a new beginning.
So when I think about who I might date next,
my heart begins to race. Isn't that the case for you?
It's just you, idiot.
Did I do something wrong?
Yes, you're right. My heart should be racing.
See that? He likes it. What's with you?
You said that for nothing. Go home, man.
I just got here.
Okay, fine. Just eat.
Jae Hoon, I have something interesting to tell you.
It's a secret, but I'm going to tell you.
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Thanks.
What? For what?
For telling me secrets and listening to mine.
I can do that because you're a good person.
I heard I'm a jerk.
From Ha Yoon?
You're a jerk who's good.
My goodness, I'm sorry.
(General Manager Han Joo)
I was a bit depressed, so thanks. I had a laugh on the street.
You must have had a drink.
Yes, I'm on my way home.
Don't be depressed.
You can text me if you're still depressed when you get home.
I'll tell you the secret I was going to tell you tomorrow.
I think I'll probably text you.
I'll wait for you.
I should go home quickly.
Aren't you glad to see me?
Are you drunk?
I'm not. I'm completely fine.
Don't you want me to be here? Should I leave?
I think that would be better.
No. You always get your way.
Do you have a girlfriend?
That same woman at your work?
You can't answer me. I must be right.
She has a kid. Is that okay?
You're drunk. You should go.
I'm not drunk. I'm going to sleep over.
- No. - Whatever. I'm sleepy.
I must ask you all for your opinion.
I'm not trying to pressure you, so you're free to do what you want.
Jin Joo is having a hard time finding an assistant writer.
She made a suggestion saying one of you...
should come work with her.
Actually, it wasn't a suggestion. It was a request.
I understand that you don't want to go.
You learn things here.
Your names will be on the credits of a popular drama.
And more importantly, working as my assistant writer...
is already priceless in itself.
If you refuse, I won't force you to go.
I relayed her message, so my job here is done.
The choice is up to you guys.
- I don't want to go. - I know.
But I can't betray my ex-colleague.
And I don't want your warm-hearted consideration to go to waste.
So one of us should at least step up and sacrifice herself.
I'm the oldest one here, so I'll go.
That's not necessary.
You need to keep Mi Yeong by your side.
She has the most experience,
and her writing style is the most similar to yours.
The drama's going to air soon, so if she leaves now,
it'll only end up causing trouble to the drama.
I'll sacrifice myself instead.
If you think of it that way, I should go since I'm the youngest.
Hey, you don't even have that much experience yet.
Plus, you wouldn't even be much help.
I'm the most adequate person for the job, so I'll go.
I told you that you don't need to go.
Forget it. Let's not start a fight.
Hey, I'm the oldest one here. You guys should listen to me.
We were born in the same year. Stop acting like you're older.
I don't want to hear you guys fight.
- I'll go. - Stay quiet.
You should know when and when not to get involved.
I'm obviously trying to get out of something...
I never should've gotten myself into in the first place.
Are you saying you shouldn't have started working here?
How can you say that in front of Ms. Jung?
You're purposely acting rude in front of Ms. Jung, aren't you?
Ms. Jung, I'm the rudest one here. Let me go.
Hey, I keep telling you that you don't need to go.
I'm going to go.
- Fine. Let the game decide. - Fine, go ahead.
- Let's do it just once, okay? - Sure.
Rock-paper-scissors!
(Ads 00:16:57 --> 00:17:57)
Jin Joo!
I won.
- I'm so glad you're here. - I'm so happy.
When are we going to eat?
What do you want to eat? Tell me what you want.
- Eat whatever. Eat anything. - Are they all for me?
- Are you busy? - I have a casting meeting.
You can also leave if you're busy.
No, I'm fine.
I guess you're suddenly okay now.
I was already okay.
Okay, fine. I don't buy it, but okay.
Hey.
It's been two years since you broke up.
Shouldn't you be over her by now?
- Don't you agree with me? - It's not what you think.
I was talking about Dong Ki.
He was talking about me.
I'm finally dating someone in two years.
What is it? Is there something wrong?
It looks like something's up with you.
I should get going now.
This place has a bad energy.
This is a huge secret, but I'll tell you anyway.
Why would you tell me a huge secret?
Because secrets are meant to be leaked.
Aren't they meant to be kept a secret?
Then let's just call it top-level information.
What do you mean?
Just hear me out.
I totally interrogated Dong Ki yesterday.
I'm really good at interrogating people.
What the...
I was offered the main role of this drama.
Read it over, and let me know what you think.
Hey, I read the script.
Let's have a meeting. I'll go to the agency.
Your agency or mine?
Your agency.
Okay, bye.
Min Joon asked me to come.
What? To his place?
What's wrong?
He asked me to come to the agency. I guess he has something to say.
Okay. Then can you give me the contact numbers...
of some of your acquaintances so I can interview them?
It'd be nice to interview a director you've worked with quite often.
I worked with Director Yeller the most.
- But you don't like him. - No, not at all.
I'm the one who swore at him, so he probably hates me.
Then I'll give him a call.
Will you do that for me?
This is a secret, okay? Act like you don't know anything.
Yes, of course. I'll act nonchalant since we're working right now.
Let's be quiet.
Director Son.
Hey, you're finally here.
- Yes. - Great.
What are you doing here?
I was waiting for you. I figured you'd be here pretty soon.
What? Why?
Pardon?
What do you mean?
Let's go.
Lead the way.
Oh, okay.
Director Son is making it so obvious.
(Jeong So Yeong, Ha Da Yeong, Lee So Min)
The casting director is on his way here.
He's rarely this late.
- Let's start once he's here. - Okay.
He used to be an actor, so he's very good at his work.
Oh, right. He was also an idol star.
He was an idol star in the 90s. Hey, Jae Hoon.
Do you know an idol group named Goguryeo?
Goguryeo? The country where Yeon Gaesomun was a general?
Yes, that's right.
The name of the idol group was Goguryeo.
And his stage name was Yeon Gaesomun.
It's actually quite funny if you think about it.
Oh, right. He looks like Hugh Grant, Han Joo.
Oh, Hugh Grant?
Yes.
He's here.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- What took you so long? - Sorry.
What part of him is supposed to look like Hugh Grant?
It's just making me sigh.
Don't they look alike?
- Goguryeo. - Yes.
Let's begin.
("Things Will Be Fine When You Turn 30")
The script is good. I don't know about it being a mega-hit,
but the characters are good, so it'll draw attention...
and most of all, it'll make the actors look good.
I think you should definitely do it.
Right? He has a good eye for scripts.
I have a good eye, so please do as I say this time.
- What? - Be honest.
Was she really offered the lead?
If So Min wants it, she can do it.
No. Be honest. We don't have time.
If So Min wants to do it,
I'll talk to the director,
and if he says okay, she can do it.
You start out saying one thing but end with another.
That's not me, it's just how things are in this industry.
What do you mean?
I don't think we need to decide now about Lee So Min.
The director's opinion matters the most,
but there are plenty of actors.
I looked at her previous works, and her acting isn't bad.
Still, I don't think we should decide on her yet.
I agree.
I feel bad since she's a college friend,
but if she's the lead,
it'll be hard to get strong actors for the supporting roles.
I can't help but be practical.
I think she'd be a better fit...
for Shin Ae than Joo Yeon.
I thought that too. She totally fits the image.
She's a bit too big to play the main character's best friend.
She'll probably turn it down.
Don't turn it down.
They won't make you the lead. I'm positive.
Hey. I told you. I've been working them.
That's why it never works. Stop working on people and acting cheap.
You think that'll hurt my feelings, right?
I'm not hurt. I've hung in there for 20 years by acting cheap.
That's not easy in this industry.
So Min, do as I say this time.
I looked into it, and that role was offered to Chun Yi Seul,
and she really liked it.
This is the perfect timing for her to do a romcom.
I'm sure she'll say yes.
Whom do you think they'll choose then?
They'll choose Chun Yi Seul.
Hey. Why are you so honest? You're hurting her ego.
You're too precise.
You're offending me more.
- Go on. - The friend is a better character,
- and has a good hook. - That's clear for anyone to see,
but actors and agents have a different perspective.
It's also a matter of pride regarding who plays the lead.
It isn't easy to go from playing leads to a supporting role.
What a shame.
I think this is a much better role and a better fit.
Especially if Director Son directs it.
Yes, Son Bum Soo has done many old-style dramas,
but he never misses out on a fun character. He's good at it.
He'll make this character great, and above all else, you'll be great.
This is just you. You don't even have to act.
But this character is kind of a ditz.
So are you. Totally.
- Really? - Yes, trust me. You're a ditz.
That's right, you are a ditz.
- Why you... - Why do you only get mad at me?
Still. I'm sure if we say we'll take this role,
they won't refuse.
But if things go wrong, you won't be able to get lead roles again.
Once you drop, you can never climb back up in this industry.
So Min, I'm sorry,
but you've dropped a little.
And I think this may be the one to pull you back up.
Let's do a good character...
in a good drama, rather than just a lead.
Trust me on this one.
You punk. This industry isn't that easy. That's the industry.
Stop talking about industries before I throw you into a factory.
Do as I say.
Hey. I'm the CEO!
Why are you working so hard here? Go work at your own company.
Let's go.
Do as Min Joon says.
But call them a few days later. It hurts my pride.
You can do that all you want. I'm not lonely.
I've battled loneliness in this industry for 20 years.
- Sun Hee, get me a cold soda. - I'm busy.
Let's hold off on Lee So Min...
and wait for Chun Yi Seul's answer.
I'll contact the remaining actors this week and get back to you.
Okay. As soon as you can.
Yes, I'll do that. Okay, then. I'll get going.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
Should we take a short break and then discuss the script?
- Okay. - Let's hydrate ourselves too.
Shall we?
I'll go get some snacks.
I'll go with you. I'm hungry.
No, I'm not hungry.
We don't have time. Let's start discussing the script.
That's right.
Okay. Let's discuss the script.
Where should we begin?
Can you postpone love?
The situation is like a movie title I heard somewhere before,
but there isn't any real problem.
I feel like our work...
and our feelings for each other are both being respected equally.
It's not so bad.
When our eyes meet affectionately at times,
we look away quickly.
When I see how we act cold...
and focus more during the meetings,
I become aware of how conscious we are of each other,
but once again, through a silent agreement,
we remain silent regarding being conscious of one another.
Even love can be postponed.
You have many things going for you.
You're handsome, smart, and you have a bright future ahead of you.
Above all else, you're young.
You're at an age when you can mistakenly think...
a simple contact with a woman you weren't interested in...
means your hidden desires can draw her into you.
Such mistaken beliefs likely lead to problems within an organization.
We have a duty to prevent such things from happening.
Do not...
Do not leave your body alone...
when Da Mi touches you. Avoid it.
Do you not hear me?
I am a big loser.
What do you mean?
What is it? Why are you acting all sad and pathetic?
Look. You...
can fix these problems you're going through...
because of your love.
However, you can't change the other person.
It's only possible if you change yourself.
If you wait until it's too late, all you'll have are regrets.
You won't get another chance.
The most important thing is to realize it quickly.
Yes. Let's resolve it.
The most important thing is to realize quickly.
I'm going to scold her.
You spend more time looking at your phone...
than at me when we're together.
Are you worried I'll hurt my neck? Thanks.
That's not what I mean. Why do you have so many guy friends?
You don't need to tell me about all your guy friends.
And with Hwan Dong too.
I know you're close, but he isn't your friend. He's a guy.
Why are you so touchy with him?
I'm at an age when I like guys a lot.
Would you like it if I say, "I'm at an age when I like girls a lot"?
I wouldn't mind.
Are you going to do weird things with those girls?
- What weird things? - Grinding.
Grind... No.
Exactly.
But you're not at an age when you'd like girls a lot.
Do you want to be gross?
- Is that disgusting? - Yes, I can't stand it.
- I won't do it. - Okay.
You're not at an age when you'd like guys a lot either.
It's gross. I can't stand it.
Why are you dating someone you can't stand? We should break up.
- No. - You said you can't stand me.
No, I was just kidding.
- Apologize. - Sorry.
- Okay. I accept your apology. - Thanks.
Get back to work. I said not to do this during work.
Okay. You're totally right.
Thank you so much. Bye. Work hard.
That could've been a disaster.
I resolved it.
Instead of trying to understand,
you just accept her without having to understand her.
It's all good. Don't even mention it.
If you don't, nothing will happen.
I'm so glad I learned this so early on.
[VIU Ver] jTBC E12 'Be Melodramatic' "Let's Let The Past Be" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
To be honest,
I liked the 31-flavoured ice cream too.
You're the one who wanted to eat it.
Yes, it's me.
How's the preparation going?
I'm just writing as much as I can. Why?
Oh, just because.
Do you have some time tonight?
I do have some time, but is something going on?
Oh, just because.
If it was okay, I thought we could...
have a meal together.
I have something to say to you too.
- Okay, then. - Okay, thanks.
I'll text you the place later.
Yes, okay.
What was that? What did he say?
He wants to eat dinner.
What is he up to?
Nothing. It's not like that.
I have no other feelings left for him. We just work together.
How is that possible?
It's very possible.
When you work hard, you don't have too much on your mind,
so something that seemed impossible when I was younger is possible.
That's why I like myself now.
Right, I want to be like you too.
That's how you became a scriptwriter for a drama...
at the age of 30.
You can become a police officer...
at the age of 26 too.
- Are you giving me pressure? - Yes.
Don't do that.
You aren't supposed to do that for exam takers.
No.
Think about the emotional and financial support our parents gave.
You're taking so much from them. You can't be freed from pressure.
Please do feel pressured.
It's not like you're paying.
That's why I'm telling you. Does Mom ever say this?
Darn it.
How are things going with Jung Hwan?
Whatever. He's so annoying.
- Why? - He keeps on walking.
He loves to walk, so he keeps on walking.
It's like I go hiking every single day.
He's probably broke.
- Really? - Yes.
Poor exam takers eat their food at a standing bar.
You do that too.
How long do I have to live poor?
You're poor for life.
What?
You're poor now because you're studying.
Let's say you passed the exam and became a civil servant.
You'd get a steady income,
then you'd get married, which means you'd need to get a house.
But that's not your house. The bank owns it.
That means you're still poor.
Let's say you worked hard for 20 years to pay it back.
But you'll probably have a kid.
They want to go to college.
Then you'll still be poor.
You work hard to let your kids study.
Now you're about to retire, and you find yourself poor again.
We live poor for our entire life, then.
Believe it or not, this is a success story.
Do you want to hear the real tragedy out there?
Forget it.
Let's eat up.
This is cute. What do you think?
- It's pretty. - Try it on.
It's great to have a sister who makes money.
May I just live with you instead of getting a job?
Are you sure you can live through that?
I don't.
I'll study hard.
- That's cute. - I like it.
What size shoes does Jung Hwan wear?
He wears 275mm. Why?
Forget it. You don't have to get his.
Take them while I offer them.
You both should study hard and walk a lot together.
That's sad.
I hate being poor.
If it gets too tough, you two can break up for a while.
What?
You're postponing the relationship because you're poor now.
Is this something you can postpone?
Why not?
Goodness, can you afford to do that?
You don't have the luxury when you're that old.
We don't have that much time left anyway.
We have 70 years at Max.
This isn't good.
I have to go.
I have to go and kiss him once more.
What? Where?
I'm going to go kiss Jung Hwan.
Bye-bye.
Just end it with a kiss, okay?
Just a kiss.
Goodness, you have sturdy legs.
My gosh. She didn't have to get mine.
Hey, let's stay in love, okay?
What?
What's wrong?
Let's go. Let's walk.
- Where to? - Let's walk.
- Hold my hand. - Okay.
Gosh, this is great.
I don't have to go home today.
- Can you afford to go to a motel? - No.
- Let's walk. - Okay.
Gosh, fine dust.
I'll buy the masks for us.
Thanks. I love you.
I love you too.
Did anything happen between you and your mother?
No.
Nothing.
We once suffered financially,
but there wasn't any problem.
We were happy.
What's with me?
It could be that she wasn't there...
when life was the toughest for you.
When you wanted to lean on her,
you probably thought things would be tough for Mom too,
which means you loved her so much that you didn't ask for her help.
It doesn't matter what the reason is.
Tear drops kept in your heart will cause a disease.
If you let them go,
it'll soon evaporate and disappear from this world.
Eun Jung, you are just letting the tear drops go.
You let go of something that you had to let go of.
It's nothing.
Are you transferring the data?
Yes. I'm going to transfer it...
and put it together by the sequence of time.
Okay.
Do you want something to eat?
I'm fine.
Get some rest. It'll take some time.
Okay. Thanks.
So Min's company called...
and said the director agreed to do the interview.
I contacted them,
but he said he has no spare time, so we have to be there tonight.
Really?
Okay. Let's go then.
I already had the questions prepared.
But it's Rae Ah's birthday today, so...
Yes, I know.
I'll do it. I can go there alone.
Thanks.
Are you still working on it?
Did you sleep well?
No.
I don't feel so well.
Why? Are you ill?
My body aches.
I can't move.
Get some more rest. I'm sure it'll get better.
- Can you help me get up? - I told you to get some more rest.
Just help me get up.
Why are you ordering me around?
- What's wrong? - Why are you acting so irritated?
No, it's not that. I just asked you to help me get up...
Just lie there!
Why? Do you need to go somewhere?
Are you planning to do something fun? Don't you need me anymore?
What are you talking about?
Why wouldn't I need you?
- Didn't you miss me? - I missed you.
It doesn't really seem that way.
I miss you every day.
Then you should see me. Why would you say I don't exist?
- Because you don't. - I'm right here.
- Where exactly is that? - Don't you want to be with me?
- I do want to be with you. - Then you should die as well.
I thought you wanted me to stay here and remember you.
You seriously believed that?
Hong Dae.
All you need to do is just die. Don't you agree?
Die.
Eun Jung. Are you all right?
Are you okay?
What?
Yes.
You should go home if you're not feeling well.
No, I'm okay.
What time is the interview?
- You still have some time left. - Okay.
My gosh, darn it.
Hey.
Lady.
Apologize now. Apologize to me before I kill you.
- Apologize before... - I'm sorry.
I knew it. People never apologize!
I'm really going to kill you!
Hey, lady. You call that an apology?
Let me show you how to apologize.
Hey, show her.
"My goodness, sir! I'm sorry!"
- "I'm sorry." - You really need to mean it.
That's what you call an apology.
You saw that, right? Okay, stand up straight.
Now, go ahead and apologize.
- Let me go. Get out of my way. - I knew you'd do this.
I knew you wouldn't listen to me.
That's just how everyone is like. That's why you deserve a beating.
Do you understand?
(Ads 00:48:24 --> 00:49:24)
What is your problem, you jerk?
Who do you think you are?
What? What?
Evil jerks like you...
all get beaten up in the end for acting up.
- It's all because you act up. - You little...
Are you serious? I'm so sick of jerks like you.
Hey, just get lost.
Hey! Go over there and sit by the wall.
Whine by the wall. Don't block the way.
Sit by the wall and whine there.
Don't get in the way.
I saved that woman.
I helped her.
What's this? You're making me nervous.
Let's stay calm for now.
Act like we've been here.
Stop looking around.
What? Oh, sorry. I have enough money, so don't worry.
I'll open the wine you ordered.
Okay.
Would you like to taste it first?
No, we'll just drink it right away.
Oh, right.
- I'll have the food ready. - Okay.
But seriously, why did you want to meet me at a place like this?
Hey, you're doomed.
We're at a police station right now.
And their job is to punish bad guys like you.
Do you like prison food?
Because that's what you'll end up eating, you thug.
My gosh, he's no match for me.
Officer, why are we the ones who got handcuffed?
Be quiet.
I got beaten up by him.
Look at him. He doesn't have a single scar.
It's such a relief.
Officer, we're the victims.
We checked the CCTV footage, and we got the victim's statement.
But I didn't make any statements. I'm a victim.
My goodness, look at him.
He pushed the lady and assaulted her.
I didn't assault her.
He grabbed her by the collar and shook her back and forth.
And that jerk stood next to him and took photos.
- My goodness. - Then what about all these scars?
He hit me so many times.
That's such a relief.
Hey, wait. You're letting them go? Are you serious?
Be quiet.
Why aren't you doing anything? Say something! Are you mute?
Why were you taking a photo? You should've stopped me.
Will you be quiet? Don't cause a ruckus at a police station.
The cops are supposed to protect people. This is so wrong.
I'm sorry.
Hey, thank you.
Do you know me?
I'm the director for So Min's documentary.
I was going to interview you today.
That woman who cursed at me?
You're one to talk.
Darn it. I shouldn't have helped you.
Hey, what about the interview?
Follow me if you want to.
I was eating a popsicle earlier,
and I thought of you.
Actually, you liked picking out...
what you wanted to eat.
Actually,
I also liked picking out what I wanted to eat.
Why did we...
eat things we didn't like?
It wasn't about the taste, but the mood.
That made me think more,
and...
I never took you to a place like this.
I couldn't.
That made me bitter.
I didn't ask you here because I was bitter.
Is there a reason...
we need to do stuff now that we couldn't do back then?
Back then, we ate because of the mood.
We don't have that mood between us anymore, so...
The ambiance.
Let's eat just once for the ambiance.
Just once,
I want to eat foods like this with you.
Where they give you one tiny bite on a huge plate.
Where you have to wait forever for the next dish.
Where they bring you the main dish after making you full.
Where they serve you dessert when you think you're done.
Where you can't tell if the food's any good,
but it's expensive.
I understand how you feel.
But Hwan Dong.
Sorry.
- What? - If that's the reason,
I can't eat here with you. Sorry.
We used to love each other,
but we don't need to regret being unable to buy each other...
expensive food.
I couldn't buy you food like this either.
Yes, I hated you and cursed at you.
That's right. I did that until recently.
Naturally, I regret it and I'm sad.
But things have changed.
My anticipation for the times to come...
has surpassed my regrets for the times past.
Back then,
we did the best we could during that time.
Let's let the past be.
Naturally.
Just...
one last time.
Just one meal.
Sorry.
I have...
someone I want to share food like this with now,
and I think he feels the same way about me,
so I think he'll be hurt if he were to find out...
that I was sitting here with you like this.
I think being considerate of the person I like right now...
is being considerate to you as well.
Okay.
You're cool.
It's true.
Bye.
Okay.
That's right.
She's so cool.
Be happy.
What is this?
It's not bad.
What are you doing?
I'm heading home.
- I'm walking. - Wow.
I'm walking too, in Yeouido.
What?
I'm in Yeouido too.
I'm heading toward Yeouido Park.
Must I do the same?
Don't you feel like you should?
Then I'll walk toward the park.
Let's run into each other by chance in the park.
Let's not say where we are.
If that's what I must do, that's what I will do.
- See you later. - Wait.
Don't hang up.
- While talking? - Yes.
What's gotten into you?
I want to chat with you.
Sure. That's not so hard.
Director Son.
Yes?
What's love?
Impromptu.
I don't think there's an established definition,
but for me,
it means...
that person...
fills my heart.
"My heart is going to explode." Something like that?
Someone actually died because their heart did explode.
Try dying.
Because my heart explodes?
Yes, because your heart explodes.
I'll try.
What does it mean to go out?
Sharing your feelings,
and not sharing those feelings with anyone else.
Making sure those feelings don't fade.
Having a certain amount of authority...
so that you can demand that of the other person.
In times like these,
being simple can look cool.
The best thing in the world.
Let's not postpone.
Okay. Let's not.
The best thing in the world.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Let's do it.
But...
let's postpone intimacy.
Let's keep our lips apart...
until we're done with this project.
Okay.
Psych.

I want to do something sweet...
after I get off work until I go back to work.
Something unexpected happened.
If you eat too much, you'll leak out gas.
How? Like this.
Why are you coming out from there?
I can't even smell it. No way. Does that suddenly start running?
Bring him home. I want to feed him because I feel so bad for him.
How do we look?
You two look like an assailant and a victim.
If you accept a supporting role right away,
what would they think of me?
Gosh, darn it. I'm lonely.
- Hey, Ms. Jung. - Hey, Mr. So.
Are you here alone?
Why do you never get old? You look like a rabbit.
There was never a rabbit like this.
Is this an elk or a rabbit?
Are you insane?
Tell me more about So Min.
- She's honest. - Is that all?
Is he either swearing or answering in yes or no on purpose?
He drinks cassia seed tea.
What's your story?
Do you know why I drink cassia seed tea?
A dark life that has a stinging yet stunning flavour?
