(Episode 2)
In Gook, swallow it already. You need to go to school.
It'd be nice if I don't.
Hey, you're in second grade now.
What will you become when you grow up?
A third-grader.
I can't believe I gave birth to that brat.
Beat him up.
You know we wake up in the morning because of you.
Children have such strong presence after all.
Eat breakfast.
I won't. I'll sleep some more once In Gook goes to school.
Open up. What is it this time?
I don't want to become like you.
I'm going to be on a diet.
Give up on meat first.
You eat meat for breakfast.
Will I gain weight even if I eat it for breakfast?
You eat meat for dinner too.
Raise your upper body as you touch your knees with your fingertips.
Darn it.
We stay seated all day long. No wonder why we have belly fat.
Seriously.
- Sit-ups are... - What?
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
I didn't know it's hard just to do three sit-ups.
You did that many sit-ups?
You're like a muscle mania.
Darn it.
I hate belly fat, but I hate working on my abs too.
There are two kinds of exercise.
The one that you hate, and the other that you don't like.
I should start working.
You've been saying that for a year.
Right?
Working and losing weight. Why does nothing go as I want?
If everything goes the way I want,
I wouldn't be packing up to go to work right now.
Tell your boss to let you come and leave work at a designated time.
Why won't you demand it?
We cannot demand any labor rights...
because we aren't laborers.
Then what?
You're independent workers.
That's still considered laborers.
But in a different way.
You have an open chance to earn as much money as you work.
Independent workers put effort, not labor.
Do we earn as much as we work?
Getting closer to your dream is earning.
Hold on a second.
Did you just...
talk back at me? It sounded like you did.
Of course not.
I went along with the conversation because I respect you.
Jin Joo.
You talk too much.
Sometimes, you talk more than me.
Shut it. Keep your mouth shut.
I stared at my boss' mouth when I was an assistant writer...
to be like her.
I listened to everything she said and kept it in my heart.
That worked as the foundation to my success.
But I donate my blood regularly and try to lose weight.
Hey!
I'm sorry.
Write as much as you speak.
Why would you ruin my mood by saying something unnecessary...
in this refreshing morning with empty bowels?
It's lunchtime.
You, you, you... Get out.
I apologize. I won't do it again.
I think you're strangely amazing.
What does that mean?
It's strange that you keep talking back at her.
But it's amazing how you don't even flinch when she screams at you.
She told you off, but you don't get scared.
Right? Why don't I get scared?
Why am I not scared of her?
It's not like I'm a very bold person.
No matter what that is, if you don't get scared,
the one who tells you off feels really awkward.
You're making her feel awkward every single day.
Am I a bit perverted?
Let's eat for now. We can use some sugar.
This is exactly why I get fat.
If you don't have any fat living this life, you'll die.
Right, you're right about that. This is so sweet.
Hey, you need to drive me.
And are you talking to me?
Aren't you the only one who has a driver's license?
I begin to wonder if this is why I got my license.
You. Do not speak. Do not speak. Do not speak a word!
I heard the shooting will continue until tomorrow.
Yes, they can't shoot all the day scenes today,
so they turned over a few scenes to tomorrow.
They're shooting all night and into the day tomorrow?
Yes, the crew members all agreed to do that.
What about the chicken scene?
We're shooting that scene tomorrow, so we can deliver it tomorrow.
What about the chicken box?
I'll arrange it so that the "Olive" part clearly shows.
Okay. Don't think of that new director as a pushover.
He's infamous for how impossible he is.
Yes.
I'm glad our lead role is an idol member though.
I have a feeling that she'll behave.
Right, our new employee is here.
He'll work with you, so teach him. I'll send him there tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am.
New guy, come into my office.
Yes, ma'am.
What do you think about cooking?
What?
We can't sit around doing nothing all day long.
Cooking. Let's go with cooking.
Cooking? Like "Chef and My Fridge"?
Yes. Chefs tend to be...
very neat and Korean...
Oh, I should go with a Korean chef.
Should I try cooking first?
As far as I'm concerned, your best dish is a bowl of cereal.
There's nothing you can do in a kitchen.
That's why it's interesting.
I should take this to Hyo Bong. Do you want to try?
I think I know what it tastes like.
The taste of that war.
Wow.
This kitchen is finished. Let's move.
Goodness, how can you be so specifically lovely?
Hyo Bong is going to sing?
No, the actor said he'll sing the soundtrack himself,
so it's a demo track.
It's for a web drama.
What brings you here?
What? Is that the famous lunch box bomb?
It's lunchtime.
Wow, you cooked?
- Are you all right? - Do you have some for us too?
I have enough for everyone.
- Gosh, man. - This is amazing.
Wow, it is a lunch box bomb.
They should have taken this instead of that bomb.
The lunch box bomb was made to kill themselves.
They actually threw the water bottle bomb.
- Okay, I'll drink water, so... - Just eat.
This seems like japchae. Is it?
Who cares about the title? Just chew it.
It's japchae, but tastes like fish.
Yes, I added anchovy stock because I thought it was soy sauce.
I see. You added quite a lot.
Wow, yet you finished it without throwing it out.
Wow, you are so persistent.
You should have gotten into politics instead of cooking.
Hey, what's with you? It's edible.
It's edible, Eun Jung. You've done worse.
Finish everything then.
I'll kill you if you leave anything.
Catch that guy who just left.
Once I catch you, I'll make you eat as I beat you.
Well, I wasn't exactly going to start cooking.
I need to know what it's like to show people that world.
You're right. You don't have to be good at cooking.
Just say what you want to say. It's all right.
Can I really do that? They don't know how good it is.
They don't know how to enjoy food and get fat.
We caught each other's eyes,
but you ignored me.
She ignored you?
How bold of her.
Your face looks different.
Did you lose weight, or did you cut off your chin?
She thought you might not recognize her.
Who's prettier?
I don't even have to think. You.
You.
- Hello. - You're here.
- Hello. - I'll take that.
Thanks.
Welcome to our humble studio.
It's hardly humble.
The people here make up for the decoration.
You're always dressed in the Provence style.
Where do you get your clothes?
Here and there.
It feels as if you went into a tiny and simple shop...
in Southern France to get your clothes.
It's probably Dongdaemun.
No, it's Namdaemun.
Hey, do you remember me?
I knew you were here.
- Do you know her? - She's my sister's...
Are you two still friends?
Right, she just left.
Yes, I said hi to her.
How long has it been?
- You were in high school, so... - About 8 to 9 years.
You were really funny and cute.
You're even handsome now.
I even make money. And I'm not married.
Okay, our demo track hasn't been finished yet.
- Hyo Bong, can you do it? - Sure.
- Jin Joo, can you hurry up? - Yes.
Yes, I'm all done.
Although I strive to become a scriptwriter,
I'm now working as her driver.
However, I do not lose my identity as a writer.
A TV station. Look.
There are so many human beings that I can observe here.
The youngest writer of a variety show.
You may be busy, but you must get some time to badmouth your boss.
The toughest job ever, a celebrity's manager.
Keep up the good work until the day you get a union.
Goodness, the ladies who came to watch "Concert 7080".
They came so early.
You couldn't find anyone better than him, could you?
But that's the guy I'll be studying today.
You must come to work very diligently.
I like the food here.
Let's go eat.
Jin Joo.
You must've put on some weight.
Look at him.
He knows how to hurt someone...
with a seemingly kind and sincere attitude.
I sometimes gain weight, and I sometimes lose weight.
I guess it's the former for now.
Look at him.
He puts on an innocent smile and mocks me.
He really is no joke.
It better be delicious.
It's out of this world.
Not only does it taste good, but the menus are also amazing.
Our dietitian is really good at her job.
She's over there.
She looks very ugly today.
I should go make fun of her.
Look at him. He really has a bad personality.
Did you drink? Your eyes are swollen.
Actually, your eyes aren't swollen. You're just ugly.
How is she ugly?
Why are you wearing goggles on your mouth?
Director Son.
I like you.
- My goodness. - I don't like you. You're ugly.
I mean it.
You've become smart.
I lose.
She really seems to like you.
Was it obvious?
My gosh, this is bad.
What's going on?
I'm sure you noticed, but I really meant it.
Really? I see.
- I mean it. - Okay, I'm eating right now.
- I started liking you... - My gosh.
Okay, I won't tease you.
I really shouldn't have teased you about your looks.
I started liking you when you began making fun of my looks.
I couldn't stop thinking about you, and I missed you like crazy.
We really have no power over our feelings.
There's nothing I can do.
- I like you. - I hate meat!
- Then you shouldn't have taken it. - You gave it to me.
Then you shouldn't have passed me your tray.
And I saw you eating pork belly when you had dinner with your team.
Why do you suddenly hate meat?
I suddenly hate it now. Do you have a problem?
And why were you at the team dinner?
- I'm not a complete stranger. - Then what are you, you fool?
Why are you swearing at me?
How exactly is "fool" a swear word, you fool?
Why would you call me that...
when I just confessed my feelings for you?
Why would you tell me that you like me when I'm eating?
I told you that when you were getting your food.
Really? Well... But still, this is the cafeteria.
I'm sorry, everyone. I mean, come on.
Why are you being so rude?
Then let's go outside.
Or should I confess how I feel on "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook"?
- Gosh, I have a headache. - This is fun.
You started fighting in the middle of a love confession.
I already bought movie tickets, so I'll see you at 7pm at the lobby.
I won't be there.
I like you.
Gosh, stop it.
What... What was that? What is this place?
He's clumsy.
This annoying jerk might seem charming...
because he's clumsy.
A successful man's clumsiness...
could sometimes be seen as a charm.
But...
Gosh, he's way too clumsy.
Let's see.
I'm sure you didn't call me here...
so you could treat me to lunch at your workplace.
Actually, that's why I called you here.
The food here is expensive.
I see.
It was delicious.
Did you read the script?
- I'm going to drop out. - What?
- Today's full of surprises. - What do you mean?
I'm going to drop out of your drama.
I can't predict anything.
It doesn't sound like you're joking.
Why would I joke about something that's not funny?
It's very common to get angry while you work.
So let me suppress my anger and ask you this.
- Why? - The script doesn't speak to me.
Then isn't it normal to ask me to modify the script?
But of course, I'll never do that.
I'm sorry, but it doesn't make...
my heart flop.
Don't you mean "flutter"?
It could flop or wobble. It doesn't matter.
Your heart wobbles?
Has your heart ever wobbled before?
It even flitters once in a while.
- Hey! - I'm sorry.
I know you got a lot of job offers from other TV channels.
I guess you're going somewhere else.
I would've left already if money was what motivated me.
They must've offered enough money to motivate you.
No, not yet.
Anyway, I already told the people in charge.
There are a lot of other competent directors.
Plus, it's your script, so I'm not even worried.
You're cute.
Let me give you a word of advice as someone...
who's been in this industry a lot longer than you.
No, I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear your advice.
My gosh.
You win.
You're an imbecile.
But I want to take after you.
What are you doing, you idiot?
I'm sorry.
Are you here to have fun? Get ready to shoot the next scene.
We're going to start off with scene 23.
Let's get moving!
Sir.
Scene 23 is the scene where she eats chicken.
- I know. - That was scheduled for tomorrow.
The actor asked us to change the schedule.
She's an idol star, so I hope you understand.
No, that's not the point. I like idol stars.
But she needs to eat chicken.
Yes, I know.
But it's 5am. How am I supposed to get chicken at this hour?
We can't even shoot anything because of the change in schedule,
and that's what you're upset about?
It's important to keep a promise.
The company and the writer already agreed on the schedule.
What do you want us to do?
We need to shoot what we can. The chicken is...
The chicken had to sacrifice its life for this.
They chopped its head, cut him into pieces, plucked its feathers,
covered it in batter, and deep-fried it...
- in a pot of boiling oil. - Whatever. I don't eat chicken.
Are you crazy? Why don't you eat chicken?
Director.
We're partly responsible, so we'll give you more time.
You have one hour. That's it.
- Let's start with scene 24. - Yes, sir.
- We'll start with scene 24! - An hour? It's 5am right now.
Why? Can't you do it?
Don't worry. I can do it. Thank you.
Sir, this is an emergency.
Can you please fry some chicken for us?
What are you talking about? The day hasn't even started.
There's been a change in schedule.
We need the chicken for embedded marketing.
I work at the head office.
That's why I'm calling you.
You can make a call to the owner...
of the nearest restaurant from the broadcasting station.
Are you kidding me? That's complete nonsense.
Our job is always full of nonsense.
This is really urgent, sir.
We only have an hour... No, we have 55 minutes left.
You're asking me to do something impossible.
And today's my day off.
- You woke me up so early. - Sir.
No, wait. Sir.
My gosh.
It must be an emergency seeing that you called at his hour. What is it?
- Ma'am. - What?
Can you please fry some chicken?
"Chicken"?
Hello.
Are you a part-time worker?
Or are you an employee?
- Hello, Ms. Hwang. - What?
I'm Choo Jae Hoon, a new recruit.
I got a call from our boss.
I live right across the street.
Why do you look so sad?
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is my first job, and today's my first day of work.
And my first task...
was to break a lock.
I see.
I'm just really worried that I might end up in jail...
- on my first day of work. - I see.
Can you take out the fried chicken if they're done?
- What? - Take out the chicken.
If I don't fry it properly, it'll be bloody.
It's okay. We don't have time, so just take it out.
Okay.
I'll take it out and fry it one more time.
- That will make it extra crispy... - Just take it out already!
Okay.
- Just two more minutes... - Just take it out!
Do it!
- Which way? - To the right.
- To the right? - Yes.
I won't eat it.
- Why won't you? - It might make me fat.
Breakfast won't make you fat.
Breakfast made me fat.
Right, I know what you mean.
Then chew on some and spit it out.
I've prepared this big, colorful plastic bag...
so you can spit it out in a pleasant way.
I'm on a diet, and you want me to put fried chicken in my mouth?
Why don't you just stab me with a knife?
That might be less painful.
Well, I know how painful that might be.
I'm truly sorry,
but the director said okay with this.
I never said okay.
Help us just this once.
It was so hard for us to get this fried chicken.
What?
What are you doing to our actress?
Get out, you people.
Get out, all of you!
Do you like dry meat?
No, I'm having this because it doesn't make you fat.
I see, but you don't look fat.
It's something men can never see. Don't look.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to look... Well, I meant to look.
I'm sorry.
No, don't apologize.
Should I remove the batter from the fried chicken then?
I don't consider it fried chicken if it doesn't have any batter.
Yes, right.
It's delicious.
We won't gain weight because we're eating dry meat for breakfast.
Right. I see you're enjoying it.
I like fried chicken.
I used to work part-time at a fried chicken restaurant too.
That's why you cooked it well.
What a nice weather.
Right. There isn't much fine dust in the air.
- It's cold, but it's delicious. - It's good.
Japchae rice.
Did you enjoy it?
I feel like I finished the bitters of life.
You made too much.
I might be able to eat it all up...
if I hold out and have it for two meals.
Right, two meals.
Things will get better after then.
What will?
Whatever it is.
Whether it's finding what you want to do or doing your work well.
Right, I guess it's a matter of time.
But I've gotten so dull-witted.
Like this belly fat.
I think you're cool though.
What do you mean?
You never hesitate when you do something.
You take responsibility for your mistakes and think hard again.
That's very hard, you know.
I think you're cool too.
What?
When I want someone to tell me such a thing,
you're always the one who does it.
Right.
In that sense, I want to donate.
I have too much money.
I'm making myself lazy.
Don't you think that's a little too simple of a conclusion?
It'll be an investment for me to use my money for a meaningful purpose.
Okay, I respect all your decisions.
But the others won't like it.
That's why I won't discuss it with them.
"Ran away quickly to the room."
That's a much easier way to put it.
"Whooshed to the room"? You call yourself a writer?
No one reads it as is. They know what whoosh means.
It means he ran away quickly to the room.
What, "whoosh"?
No, not that. "Whoosh".
All right, "whoosh".
But we're writers.
Did you have to use that word?
You at least have to make it understandable.
"Whooshed to the room" means he went in the room, not lied prone.
It's easy and fun to understand.
And about the word you used here,
no one uses this word these days. It's old-fashioned.
Who says writers must use trendy words only?
What you said is against "A Visit to Our Language".
The path of a writer isn't about destroying Korean language.
But this part describes his behavior.
If this was going to be a novel, I could use words...
that are hard to even pronounce like the one you used.
But this script is to make the staff and the cast understand the scene.
You...
- Get out. Whoosh out. - What?
To put it in trendy words, you're getting fired.
I don't want to. This is unfair. I can't do that.
- Oh, yes? Then I'll get out. - What?
Hold on.
I can't go out. You can't go out either.
If you insist,
walk over me nice and easy on your way out.
Nice and easy.
It wasn't an impulsive decision.
The employer walked over...
this pitiful employee nice and easy,
but she had more than enough of reasons.
The script doesn't speak to me.
I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear your advice.
Pride.
For the power, it works as dignity to protect themselves.
For the weak, it's often neglected...
as pettiness.
Hye Jung is the power.
And the pride of the power is usually divided into two types...
after going through all kinds of ups and downs.
Flexibility and obsession.
This case goes for obsession.
That day,
the employee saw something she shouldn't have.
The sight of her pride getting trampled on.
"Is that why she's firing her?"
Do you think it's too harsh?
No, she had reasons way before this incident happened.
(Jin Joo's version)
("Tale of Gold Miss")
(Scene 10: Inside Donghwajang, Evening)
Her pride became an obsession.
She easily feels inferior.
And she cannot accept that as the reality.
To be honest, Jin Joo's writing is easy to read.
Right? She doesn't get tied down in a form.
I grew up believing online novels are solid literature.
- What's so bad about that? - I'm saying it's fun.
To be honest, Ms. Jung's writing is a bit tough to read.
She's a bit too old-fashioned.
Are you going to submit your piece for the contest? Do you have one?
Don't we need Ms. Jung's approval?
Why? It's your personal submission.
To be honest, I wrote something here too.
An obsession...
easily gets rid of one's ability to look at oneself objectively.
It cultivates...
her ability to maximize the weaknesses of the weak.
You. Get out.
(Zooming)
Zoom out of here.
Gosh, this is so good.
This is why I have to come home only once in a while.
This awfully bad food tastes so delicious.
Mom, why did you give birth to me?
- Why were you born? - Because you gave birth to me.
- You were born, so that's why. - Really?
Then why didn't you make me better than who I am?
If you were going to be born, why didn't you come out prepared?
Gosh, my stress is finally relieved.
Home sweet home.
All right, let's grab a drink. Grab a drink!
- Grab a drink! - All right.
Cheers!
Gosh, Dad. Why are you leaving the shot?
I didn't drink it. I can't.
Right. You can't drink.
I'm home.
Hey, my sister.
My sister.
What? What is this?
It's yours.
You're insane. I'm studying for a test.
No one at the academy carries around a bag like this.
No one does that, so you should.
Why can't people who study for a test carry brand-name bags?
Did you commit a crime?
Did you embezzle the national fund...
or monopolize the state affairs?
I got that for her.
Hey, stop eating. Why are you eating so much?
Why?
Why? Why won't you even let me eat?
- Because you ate a lot. - Why are you shouting at me?
Did you whisper, you brat?
Did you think I was angry? You fool.
I'm leaving. I'm going home to eat more.
Goodbye. Bye-bye.
Goodbye.
That's it. Breathe.
If you can feel your stomach get tense,
you have to keep going from there.
Eun Jung, why do we have to lose weight from each body part?
I really don't like that.
That's why I'm doing a campaign to get fat in each body part.
Now, look.
This is a workout that will get rid of my butt muscles.
I spared out all of my muscles,
then pick up a piece of meat...
and drink a glass of soju.
Okay, this is a workout that will get your tummy fat.
Six packs?
No way. One pack. Then I roll around like this...
and pick up a piece of chicken.
You can't skip the glass of soju because it gets too tough.
Life is full of events.
Hey, Hwang In Gook.
In Gook, wash your hands first.
Here.
Goodness, I shout out, but no one answers back.
What's with her? And what's with you?
Never mind. Life is just full of events.
Han Joo, I brought fried chicken, your favorite.
Come here.
I had two chickens for breakfast.
This workout will help your entire body become firm.
Breathe in and out.
Why must your body be firm?
Really? I have firm parts too.
My head. My head is firm.
And so are my elbows.
And my knees! That's good enough.
When your body feels tense, stay a little longer.
But...
my heart isn't.
That's not that great.
When your body feels tense,
spread out your arms.
Goodness.
It looks like you'll be unable to sleep tonight.
Kids these days must suffer quite a lot.
It's our fault that they're having a tough time.
But our kids...
have grown up very much.
Why? What is it?
I saw a cockroach in the kitchen.
There are roaches in this apartment?
Yes, there was.
Wait, how is that possible?
I'll call the security office in the morning.
Let's all go to sleep.
I had a dream.
The world wasn't any different.
On the outside, at least.
People went to work in the morning.
Students went to school.
It's the beginning of another busy day.
However, it was a different place.
I was definitely in a different world.
The world looked exactly the same in my eyes,
but people's breaths, their laughter,
the way the sunlight and wind touch my body, the air, and the sounds.
Everything that touches my body...
definitely felt different from before.
It was just another morning.
I woke up like it was any old day.
But my house even looked very foreign.
They were grilling meat.
Pork belly. Water parsley.
Yes.
My friends were grilling meat with happy faces.
And they called me over.
They looked happy.
I took part in that happiness.
Everyone in this world...
woke up in the morning to eat meat for their health.
And they enjoyed it.
At lunch, everyone on this earth became one to increase...
the intake of sodium and carbohydrate.
A variety of Korean stew which are amazingly high in sodium...
improved our national prestige along with Hangeul.
In the end, Korea's sausage stew was...
selected as 1 of the top 10 superfoods of the world,
which led the Korean wave of K-food.
Even after that, people needed to eat more calories.
People went to restaurants and bars in the evening...
to fill up the missing calories they needed.
Every single restaurant in the world was packed through the night.
After that, you go home.
The government gave out support funds...
to encourage people to eat late-night snacks...
like jokbal and boiled pork.
And most people diligently ordered late-night snacks.
Every single parent in this world taught this to their children.
"In order to become a great person,"
"you must eat a lot of junk food..."
"such as pizza, hamburger, and instant noodles."
If you kept all of such rules without bending any of it,
people called you ethical.
No one was fat in that world.
No one had lifestyle diseases either.
I was just a normal human being.
On that night,
I had tons of chicken, jokbal, and soju.
And even after I ate and drank all that,
I was still able to maintain a light and healthy body.
- Touch. Breath out. - And...
I woke up from my dream.
What is it? Is it a cockroach again?
I called the maintenance office. Get out of here for now!
Yes, this is the maintenance office.
Hello, I called you earlier because of a cockroach.
Oh, yes. We're getting ready...
No, It's all fine now.
What? It's fine?
Yes, we had a misunderstanding. It was just a square object.
What? How could you mistake that as a cockroach?
- Anyway, we're fine now. I'm sorry. - Oh, okay.
In Gook, you're taking ages to poop.
I know you just want to be late to school.
When you're in a tense and anxious situation,
you should relax...
and push yourself to become even more anxious.
It'll increase your attentiveness and ability to think...
and broaden your thoughts.
It may sound very meaningless and pretentious,
but it's not a bad idea to give it a try.
That's what I decided to think.
I decided that I won't break down because of something like this.
You zone out so often these days.
This is unbelievable.
What is it?
- I'm reading a script... - And? What about it?
How many words do you see?
What are you talking about? Why are you counting the words?
I can only read two words. "Not fun".
Our job is to figure out how to make something lame seem fun.
What's wrong with you?
Here.
My gosh, it's a script.
I read it when I was a judge for the recent writing contest.
How should I explain it? It's a little surprising.
- It's surprising? - Yes.
It's a little all over the place and very raw.
But it's fun if you don't think too much about it.
Is it going to win an award?
I voted for it, but the elders gave it no credit.
Really? I'm starting to get interested.
"Things Will Be Fine When You Turn 30"?
The title...
- It's nice and vague. - Right?
I know this name.
Well, Jin Joo is a very common name.
"Lim"? That's not a very common last name.
Lim Ha Ryong. Lim Chae Moo.
Lim Chang Jung. Lim Jae Beom. Lim Jong Seok.
"The Silence of Love".
The Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.
I guess it's common. Anyway, you should read it.
How was it? Did you read it?
- Yes. - How was it?
It's surprising.
Hey, should I work on it? I think it'll be fun.
No, don't. It's not for you.
Really? I want to do it.
That's why you always fail.
- Right? You don't think it's mine? - No.
It's inevitable to feel lost.
And the shorter it lasts the better.
Who knows? I might get a call tomorrow.
"Ms. Lim, you won the writing contest."
"We'd like to make a drama with 16 episodes."
Let's write. A writer should write.
Let's write.
("Things Will Be Fine When You Turn 30")
Here's a gift.
What's his problem? He suddenly called out of nowhere.
Hello?
I heard you got fired.
Are you calling to congratulate? What do you want?
Didn't you enjoy the food at my workplace?
I enjoyed the drama that day more than I enjoyed the food.
Then you should drop by to enjoy some more drama.
What was that?
I heard you got rejected by Bum Soo.
How did you know?
- You go around telling everyone. - I see.
I'm really hurt.
Yes, I can tell. I'm just asking out of curiosity.
- You're not into me, are you? - No, of course not.
Go.
Nothing fun's happening. What happened?
I convinced her.
I don't believe in love.
That's normally what kids say. But why?
Because it doesn't exist.
- Why is she doing that? - She's just annoyed.
- That's what that wink means? - Yes, she gets annoyed by me now.
She really knows how to express herself.
But why don't you like her?
She's ugly.
- How exactly is she ugly? - You're way prettier than her.
No, wait. That makes me look weird. I'm pretty.
- Yes, I know. You're pretty. - No, you should say I'm ugly.
Why?
You're pretty.
My gosh, I get it. Will you please cut it out?
It's not your face, so stop commenting on it.
You really know how to sound rude and polite at the same time.
It helps me understand you very easily.
Okay, I'll be careful.
Let's stop talking about people's looks and get to work.
What work? I got fired.
Do you still think I'm an assistant writer?
I'm just a normal person.
I'm someone who can write mean comments...
on your drama's social media post.
That's who I am now.
I'm telling you to switch sides.
"Things Will Be Fine When You Turn 30".
I found it interesting.
It made my heart flop.
What do you say we work together?
I wanted to ask why,
but I hold it in and thought.
"Let's not think of this as an unexpected chance."
"I've been preparing for this moment for a very long time."
But I was struck with emotions like a sense of responsibility.
That's probably because I was faced...
with an official chance for the first time in my life.
It somehow felt like I became an adult...
when I was already 30.
Don't act like a child.
I spoke countless words throughout my life.
I made expressions that are quite unrefined and embarrassing to think.
They came across my mind in a flash... I mean, clearly.
You're wrong. Get lost. Get rid of it.
Right this moment, I needed to make a proper answer...
as a recognized adult in this world.
With natural and refined words of adults.
How much will you offer?
I know the rough amount,
but since you're taking it, I'm wondering if you'll pay me more.
Is this not the right way to put it?
- About these two, - What?
I like them both, and they're similar.
What do you mean?
They're both humorous, handsome, and gentle.
They kept staring at me.
They kept looking at me.
I see.
Gosh, I was so busy making eye contacts with them.
What should I do?
Whom do you like more?
So you didn't know. It's understandable that you didn't.
They're seeing someone.
So what? Don't be old-fashioned.
Well, they are seeing each other.
What are you talking about? I can just take him away from her.
- I mean, they're dating. - They're what?
They're seeing someone, and that someone is each other.
They're dating with the same person?
They're dating with each other.
What?
They're a known couple in this industry.
Right. You could not have known.
Those two are going out?
Yes. They've been dating for a long time.
Do you know why a city is lonely?
The lights of buildings replace stars.
And people on that planet don't know who I am.
You're a celebrity. Everyone knows who you are.
Hey, floor the car.
Drive faster. I'm sleepy.
I said, drive faster.
Okay, ma'am. Hold tight.
Be careful. Watch out!
I cried a lot
In the past days
I was alone
And I was lonely
Someone said
Life is like
An unending
And continuous journey
You may rest if it's hard
Your feet don't know
Which way to go
But they try to understand
The broken heart
And walk on
The road of the past
Toward the beautiful place
Colored with a sunset glow
I don't believe in love.
Why not?
Because it doesn't exist.
I like you.
Let's do a good job.
- What about my happiness? - Why do you ask me about that?
I like you!
You witch.
You'll find a way...
to protect your heart from getting hurt.
- I'm not annoyed. Help me up. - Just stay down there!
Hug me.
I'm exhausted.
That's what it is. Don't be ignorant if you aren't going to break up.
Don't be ignorant.
Is Hwan Dong another unfulfilled wish to you, Jin Joo?
Do you have feelings for Jin Joo?
When I film the memories of you and her,
I become jealous.
Why do you try so hard to suffer?
Stop being apart from someone you love.
Don't think whether your feelings will last a day or 1,000 years.
Even if you're willing to love someone for 1,000 years,
your body is weak. That's the way humans are.
Don't waste your time.
- Can I kiss you? - What?
(Special thanks to Kim Doh Yon for his cameo appearance)
Even though it's slow
One of those people who walk
On there
My only name
My heart
I hope you cherish it
And keep it, you are
