Anyway, while we're at it, to be honest,
there's a guy I've been seeing.
What? Who is it?
Where did you meet him and how long has it been?
Well...
He's tall, to begin with.
He's cute.
Jae Hoon...
- Is it Jae Hoon? - No, no.
He's Jae Hoon's age.
- So he's younger than you. - He's younger than you.
And...
you know...
- when we went clubbing... - Oh, shoot.
He smiled at me...
and came to ask my number.
Then his shoulders seemed so broad.
You gave him your number because of his shoulders?
I think I understand.
This completely caught me off my guard.
She knows how to catch people off their guard.
I'm flabbergasted.
But it's not exactly that we're going out.
We're just exchanging texts and stuff.
Every day? When you go to work in the morning?
When you work and before you go to bed too?
I guess.
So they're going out.
- They're going out. - Are we?
I exchange texts with Byung Sam every day like that.
That's work.
How many times do you hang out a week?
We eat and drink once a week.
- They're not going out. - They aren't.
- We aren't going out? - You two hang out regularly.
If it's unclear, just ask him.
- That would make it confession. - Is that so?
- Yes. - Yes.
My goodness.
I wasn't going to ask you this because it'd be so childish,
but let's settle the issue at once.
How far has your relationship gone?
- Eyes. - What?
We've had eye contact.
Han Joo, no one thinks you're naive anymore.
Just say it.
Goodness, that's it. Let's say you're going out.
Good.
But he hasn't actually asked me out.
Good job.
- Good job. - It's okay.
Hey, quiet down.
Great.
In my favorite drama,
the male and female protagonists...
sacrificed love first for their desires.
After going through all kinds of struggles,
they lose everything and go back to their original place.
They realize their foolishness that they'd been trying...
to sacrifice something big over something petty.
And they comfort themselves...
that the time of ignorance gave them realization and courage...
to start over again.
Such a process...
is ridiculously unproductive and has nothing to do with growing.
But most of my acquaintances...
have experienced it.
We just can't learn by watching dramas...
that we end up making ourselves the protagonists of a drama.
How foolish are we?
But we're admirable in the sense that we don't deny...
our desire to start again.
Perhaps, our constitutions...
are 1 of 4 categories.
(Perhaps, our constitutions are 1 of 4 categories.)
(Melodramatic Soyang, melodramatic Taeyang,)
(melodramatic Soeum, or melodramatic Taeeum.)
I'm sorry.
I adored you so much,
but look at what I did to you.
These are the last cherry tomatoes.
- Why? - The plant withered...
because I couldn't look after it.
- Are you feeling guilty? - A little.
I've lost it, but I don't want to consider it as a failure.
We've had enough good times together.
I see.
You can start over again.
It might be a hassle...
to go through a long process from planting seeds...
to waiting for them to sprout and produce cherry tomatoes.
It's not easy to get the seeds to sprout either.
You've got to do it until they do.
You can live without cherry tomatoes,
but it's good if you have them.
Your emotions are like the last episode of "Sandglass"...
where Hye Rin and Woo Suk scatter Tae Soo's ashes.
What's the big deal about cherry tomatoes?
Hye Rin...
and Woo Suk.
Do you think they also started again?
Woo Suk has a loving wife.
Hye Rin might be alone.
Are you aware that we're in the middle of the script meeting?
Are you doing this because you don't want to work?
We got busted.
Half a script meeting is bound to be chitchat.
That's where you get brilliant ideas.
And you're burdened with a deadline in the midst of it.
Should we continue our meeting as we eat?
- Sure. - Good.
How is your preparation going for the shoot?
I told you. The agenda of this meeting is the script.
We're running out of time, but it's going pretty smoothly...
because the staff members are all seasoned veterans.
We aren't veterans, so let's...
But usually, when it comes to drama production,
they put all their might in the beginning,
but they become loose later on.
That's because they're pressed for time.
But let's not worry about it.
I've come up with a way not to do it.
It's going to be a groundbreaking proposal in the drama industry.
What is it?
In order to prevent...
the quality from dropping later on,
I'm planning to keep the quality low from the start.
Oh my goodness.
Why hasn't anyone thought of this idea?
But...
you said you wouldn't be careless despite the lack of time.
Ms. Lim.
In a long-term race like drama production,
consistency leads to perfection.
I knew it.
Directors look at the entire forest, not just the trees.
You once said...
you made up your mind not to make it onto the best stage possible.
That inspired me so much.
I was very impressed by it.
So we're giving constructive inspiration to each other.
I think it's rather repressive.
I get that it's hard,
but you two shouldn't go insane already.
It's okay to be a little crazy.
The Earth moves anyway.
What are you saying?
Bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang!
Good.
Let's talk about the script.
- Should we go have cake? - I'd love that.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang.
This is Yirgacheffe coffee.
Discussion content. Cherry tomatoes.
Dropping quality from the start.
Cake. Nothing about the script.
It's best to do a script meeting outside.
Right.
We write indoors all day long. It's suffocating.
But why do we come to this cafe every time?
There's something you don't know.
Oh, the melodramatic Soyang in the 10th episode,
I really loved it.
That just came to me on a whim.
Oh, really? It was great.
So it comes down to your constitution in the end.
What happens to Manager Choi?
Is there any ending for him that's not included in the synopsis?
See? They loved it.
Right.
Seeing them so excited to hear that I'm in a relationship,
I kind of felt...
bad for myself.
You're thinking, "Why does this make them so happy?"
"How on earth have I been living to this day?"
Yes, that's it.
We all say we're sick of it, but dating is great.
- What? - People don't get worried...
when you tell people you're dating unless you're dating...
the mortal enemy of your family.
Is that so?
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Good morning.
- Would you like a cup of tea? - No, thanks.
Your favorite coffee beans. Isn't it tough with such a tight schedule?
We'll reinforce the production crew, so don't strain yourself.
Take things easy.
Why... Why is she doing this,
as if she'll leave soon?
I just got chills.
You must know the reason.
Tell me what it is.
Goodness, it's a secret, but you got me.
Gosh, aren't we in a relationship where we spill our secrets?
Goodness, then I should tell you.
Well, what happened is...
this.
Honey.
So Jin's work just ended.
Goodness, if you keep complaining like that,
I'm going to bite you.
Where do you think I'll bite you? Your lips.
You missed me?
So Jin will be there soon. Wait there.
Yes, okay.
I love... Goodness!
I tried to copy her, but I just can't do it.
You should try to use only half your tongue.
"I'll be there soon. Wait there."
That's not it.
It wasn't a sound that a person could make.
How long has she been dating him?
It has been 50 days, so they got matching rings.
Wow, how lovely.
I like it. I'm all for it. Good.
Since that's an unexpected twist, why don't we take it further?
What? How so?
How about matching rings? They don't seem like they'd do that.
That's good.
And I had a question.
Chief Producer Seong and Ms. Jung, the writer.
They weren't in the synopsis, right?
What will happen to them?
How could she talk to the chief producer that way?
My gosh, seriously?
My heart is racing.
Why are you like this in your 50s?
This is embarrassing.
How do we always run into each other here?
You must come to cart bars very often.
I love the sentiment of cart bars.
They sell somewhat bad food, it's somewhat overpriced,
and it's somewhat uncomfortable.
It's a great place to just stop by.
It doesn't comfort or make use of...
people who are lonely.
"Get your rest here. Or not." Something like that.
That's philosophical and emotional.
This is a funny question,
- but why are you still single? - Pardon?
I'm married.
What? You said you're alone.
I am. I sent her away.
Well, did she pass away?
No, to the US.
I'm the so-called goose father.
You're a goose father.
I'm a father of dogs.
You're a goose father.
Should we take the taxi?
Yes.
But I think...
we should sober up a little more before we go.
Then...
we should walk a little more before we take it.
Exactly.
You're really tiny.
What?
You seem like an Appalachian black bear when you scream,
but you're really tiny.
Stop talking nonsense as if the bear beat you in the chest.
You should worry about your height. I'm of average height.
What do you think of me?
I've hugged a lot of women, so I know.
You probably hugged a lot of dogs.
- You know what? - I don't want to know.
When I was younger, I got lost because I didn't know.
But now, I get lost pretending like I don't know.
Sure, let's just not know what it is until we die.
That makes us look younger.
Okay.
We are young.
- That's all? - Yes.
Who knows? Did they become good friends for life,
or did they face a day when they find out what it is?
- An open ending? - Yes.
I hope they get together, but it doesn't look so bad right now.
Yes, exactly.
Will this character...
end up with nobody?
I studied these while I gathered information on horseback riding.
I thought you could use this.
Our drama isn't a drama about horseback riding.
It's just the main character's hobby.
That's even more reason to know it better.
And this is my review of episode 12. I just printed it out.
The plausibility is low in a few places,
so I checked facts and followed the emotions from episode one,
then added a few of my ideas.
A review is more like a take on what you thought of this.
Why is this thicker than the actual script?
It'll make our drama even richer.
Do you ever rest instead of working?
I don't.
I mean, like dating.
I'm already married to dramas.
So you're a married man.
Oh, right. I started working out.
The most important thing about working out is to be persistent.
And in order to be persistent, you need to be motivated.
Do you have a purpose for working out?
Yes, I do.
I want to be a good arm-wrestler.
A good arm-wrestler?
- But this is a Pilates studio. - Yes, I know.
I looked into modern anatomy and sports science.
And I came up with a strategy...
to strengthen my core and develop my muscle strength.
Oh, I see.
So you can become a good arm-wrestler?
Yes, that's right. I'm going to beat him next time.
- What? - What?
Anyway, that's my reason.
Loosen up your wrists.
Try doing this.
Now, hold it lightly and raise it above your head.
Raise your arms.
Loosen your trapezius muscles.
Flex your core muscles.
Harder. Breathe in.
Use your abs to go down.
Now, use your core to come back up.
1, 2, 3. Good job.
Thank you.
Hwan Dong.
Yes?
Do you manage your diet?
Well, I try.
A new salad bar opened up nearby, and it was pretty nice.
If you have a healthy meal,
you'll be able to treat yourself to a beer later on.
The owner must be your friend.
Are you promoting the place?
I'll go with my colleagues next time. See you.
He might stay single for the rest of his life.
No, who knows? He might meet someone who's able to coach him.
My gosh, he's making me get competitive.
Do you think so?
Should I come up with a new character?
I'm also interested in your sister and her boyfriend.
They're cute.
Yes.
If only one of us passes the exam...
and the other person fails, do you think we'll break up?
If you study instead of worrying so much, you'll pass.
Stop talking like my mom. I'm serious right now.
Just eat.
How about we both give up if only one of us passes the exam?
If you keep talking nonsense in such a serious tone,
how exactly am I supposed to react?
Whatever happens, I'll still take care of you.
- Jung Hwan. - Yes?
Just take care of yourself.
That's all you need to do to keep my love going.
Are you serious? That's sweet.
Eat up.
But I'm sure they'll break up. They're so young.
What kind of logic is that?
My sister's all about practicality.
Because she loves practicality,
she'll know that it's better for her to stay with him.
I'm saying she won't even look back if things don't work out.
She'll get married really early.
Let's say she breaks up when she turns 32...
after a long period of dating.
Then she'll go on a blind date and get married within a year.
She'll probably marry a civil servant.
I don't want to hear that. Gosh, I refuse to hear it.
They'll love each other until they die. Let's leave it at that.
Then let's just say they exchange empty promises and end it there.
- What do you say? - My gosh, seriously.
And this couple right here.
Instead of making them go public about their relationship,
let's just make them get married.
- All of a sudden? - Yes.
"Although... Although I'm a year..."
"Although I'm a year below..."
- "Although I'm a year below you..." - You're studying it really hard.
Yes, because I can't memorize lines. I need to read it 100 times.
It still means you're trying hard.
I once made the same mistake 12 times in a row during a shoot.
I was shooting the very last scene,
and because I kept making mistakes, the shoot didn't end.
But it was freezing that day.
It was negative 20 degrees.
You guys shoot even when it's that cold?
We shoot as long as it doesn't rain.
But rather than freezing to death,
I almost died because of the angry staff.
They were staring at me like they wanted me to freeze to death.
And that's when I became really determined.
I'm hungry.
- Are you hungry? - Let's eat.
Do you want jjajangmyeon?
- Sure. - Great.
Min Joon.
I'll kill her first.
What?
You're the general manager. Why did you follow her here?
Her road manager didn't come to work.
But why did you have to be the replacement?
Because I'm hard-working and diligent.
Do you want a diligent beating?
(Do you want a diligent beating?)
That brat asked you to come, didn't she?
You guys are so passionate.
Isn't it tiring?
Hi, Seon Ju.
Hey, So Min.
I can't get up right now because I'm drying my nails.
Do you get up on your nails?
You know how heavy these nail stones are.
Gosh, they're so heavy.
I heard you have some good news.
Oh, that? I'm an actress, so it's no big deal that I'm shooting a movie.
I heard you're dating.
You mean, I used to date.
The last time I dated someone was like 20 years ago.
I heard it's been two months.
A baseball player, right?
I know nothing about baseball.
- The Giants? - No, he plays for the Bears.
What? What do you want?
Should I tell this to paparazzi?
I know someone who takes really good photos.
Why are you doing this? We're both actresses.
I already got a huge scolding from the CEO...
because he once caught me dating my ex.
I thought the last time you dated was 20 years ago.
Fine, it was a month ago.
But you've been dating your current boyfriend for two months.
So Min, do you need something?
Min Joon's mine.
- What? - I'm dating Min Joon.
What? You mean, my Min Joon?
I'm kidding. General Manager Kim?
Call him by his rank.
Don't stare at him...
for more than three seconds with those pretty eyes of yours.
My gosh.
This is so fun.
- Do you understand? - Yes, I do.
Are you leaving now?
Bye, So Min.
I love you.
Why do you want them to get married all of a sudden?
They've known each other for such a long time.
And they're not very calculative either.
So let's just have them marry each other.
But I don't want there to be a wedding in the last episode.
It just looks like we couldn't think of anything better.
What are you talking about?
I just really want a beautiful scene.
It's nice to have a happy ending.
Why is marriage a happy ending?
If you think about it,
deciding not to marry anyone is closer to a happy ending.
Aren't you going to marry me?
I thought the male character could say something like that.
But I guess not.
I think they will eventually get married.
They can't break up.
She may be a celebrity, but she's not calculative.
And she's quite naive, so they suit each other very well.
If this becomes a series,
they can get married in Season Four.
This isn't "Rude Miss Young Ae".
How many seasons are you planning to make?
Okay, fine.
How about these two that just started dating?
- You want to get married? - Yes.
- Is this a proposal? - Yes.
Gosh, this is so heart fluttering.
Why are you asking me that here?
I thought it'd be meaningful.
Okay, fine. Forget about the location.
But don't you think it's a bit early to ask me that?
We're going to get married anyway, so I figured I'd just ask.
Are you that confident about me?
No, I'm not. That's why I want to hurry.
You want to make me yours on paper?
No, I want to be yours.
I really like being obedient to you.
Okay, fine. When should we get married?
Well, first of all, we should talk to your parents...
My gosh, you're so old-fashioned. Why would we invite our parents?
- What? - Let's just do it on our own.
Small weddings are a trend these days.
If our parents aren't there, that'd be the smallest wedding ever.
Let's get married this Sunday.
None of the wedding halls will be available this Sunday.
My gosh, why would we get married in a wedding hall?
I told you it's going to be a small wedding.
Let's get married at the nearby Indian restaurant...
while we eat curry.
Oh, curry?
Are we supposed to talk while we get married?
- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.
Enjoy your meal. Is that the A set?
- We promise we'll be happy. - Thank you.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Who are they? - I don't know.
Their relationship may overturn...
around the time she gets used to his sense of humor.
In a way that she likes him more?
- That's plausible. - On what grounds?
That's up to me, and I'm not going to make that happen.
Look.
He seems obedient and foolish enough.
But he creates his own world of humor.
He's undaunted and consistent.
He doesn't give up, but he rather makes the other to get used to him.
He's patient.
Well, right.
And you shouldn't overlook the fact...
that he joined this company because he was good at studying.
But did he neglect his other desires for his studies?
No, he knows the taste of coffee after lunch,
not to mention the taste of beer after work.
Surprisingly, he does all that without spending any of his money.
Besides, he's very sociable.
- His girlfriend is so pretty too. - Right.
I made this character, but I didn't know he was this great.
Rather than a strategy, it's just the way his life has been.
Getting used to him means getting influenced by him.
The woman feels unfair and frustrated later on...
because things don't go the way she wants.
But she can't break up with him,
so she's annoyed. Is that what you mean?
Right.
That might be interesting. I'll keep that in mind.
I doubt the story would reach that far though.
What's wrong?
I feel so heartbroken.
I can't dare describe this emotion.
It tastes so bad.
My back is about to break. And why is it so hot?
Stop washing the dishes if you're going to keep complaining.
I still have to do it.
You don't have to, so get out.
Why would you make me irritated too?
I never told you to be with me.
You're right.
Go do it over there.
But I sat here first.
So get up first.
I see. Wait, what?
There's no need to think. I said it wrong.
Wait. Do it here.
- Why? - If we do it apart from each other,
it'll be too cold-hearted.
Unbelievable.
Are you interested in me?
No.
Me neither.
In that sense, do you want to come to Africa with me?
Why?
I have no money.
Me neither.
It won't do then.
War is the problem for everything anyway.
That was to yourself, right?
Don't you think it's funny?
They start a war...
to gain something by suppressing the other's will.
But what's the use in gaining what they want by destroying the future?
You know the Korean War, right?
Yes, because I'm Korean.
Kim Il Sung sent thousands of war orphans...
to their communist allies in Eastern Europe.
It would've been great if they had lived a good life there,
but they didn't.
They returned to North Korea after the war.
Do you think they were sent? No, they were summoned.
Do you think they reclaimed those kids for humanitarian reasons?
No.
They must've needed them to restore the country.
No one knows whether those innocent kids...
were dragged to coal mines or sold to a foreign country.
I hope someone films a documentary about it.
("Children Who Moved to Poland")
(All of them were in pants and white shirts.)
Must they part ways?
Can't we just end the story with everyone living together...
happily ever after?
It doesn't have to go according to the synopsis,
so I'll give it some thought.
Okay. I trust you.
Dong Woo is alone. What are we going to do about him?
I'm concerned about that too. What should we do?
Whiskey is...
quite useful.
I thought this would go well with us today.
Thank you.
Work is pleasant thanks to you.
I get consoled too.
I'm lucky to have a superior like you.
It's the same for me.
It's good because I feel like I have someone on my side at work.
Let's work together for a long time.
I'll work better...
in a stronger way.
I feel stronger.
I've gotten a bit stronger just now.
You're going to give way soon.
It seems like...
people act strong because they want to give way...
to the point where they think it wouldn't be too much...
of a problem.
I guess.
But...
I don't have the courage to give way yet.
Will you do it?
Me?
Just be honest with me.
I know you have something to tell me.
- Will you be able to handle it? - Yes.
Then...
from now on,
I'll be possessed by your past lover.
All right.
What do you want to hear from me?
The truth from the bottom of your heart.
Jae Hoon.
You loved me.
No, more accurately, you tried to fit me into your frame...
under the name of love.
You blamed me...
when I didn't meet your expectations.
You left me alone to try to tame me.
You didn't try to love.
You tried to have me.
Enough is enough!
- Get out. - You had...
no intention of changing yourself for me.
- Go! - You held my foolishness...
as a hostage to try to fit me into your standards.
You cut out my emotions...
and continuously demanded what you want from me.
When the demand wasn't met,
you criticized me.
You left me alone.
Did...
you...
love me?
I'm such an idiot for having a tough time...
without even knowing the reason.
Nobody has a perfect idea of who they are.
People who believe that they know themselves perfectly...
are the ones who will get hurt even more in the future.
You know what?
You must have had a tough time,
but while watching you suffer,
I began to think that I want to date someone too.
Isn't that odd?
That foolishness.
That's...
what I like.
I doubt most people will connect and support this.
It's great to have a passionate connection with a small number.
But if people are more embarrassed about their past,
people won't bring it out and show their support.
They'll hide it.
But why aren't you stopping me?
I've been writing this passionately.
Because it's meaningful.
Someone might cry their heart out.
Let's not get scared and move forward.
Shall we?
Okay. Let's do that.
Gosh, I did so much work today.
Goodness, it's just the beginning.
Then shall we...
go do some real work?
Shall we?
("Things Will Be Fine When You Turn 30")
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, I'm Chun Yi Seul, playing Joo Yeon.
I'm Kim Seong Jae, playing Kyung Jae.
I'm Kim Seon Jae, playing Pan Soo.
I'm Jung Joo Hyeon, playing Dong Woo.
I'm Lee So Min, playing Shin Ae. Nice to meet you all.
It's kind of scary to see the characters...
that tortured me in the script come alive like this.
But you all look cool.
I'll do my best as I write to not be a nuisance to your coolness.
Thank you.
(Writer Lim Jin Joo)
I'm sure this time in your life is very precious.
I'd like to thank everyone who is here...
spending such precious time to make this drama.
I hope we can all be good people to one another.
Let's have a great run.
Have you been well?
You look the same.
- Where are you going? - To the bathroom.
- You can't! - Why not?
It's okay, it's between us.
I'm a woman too!
It'll make me feel awkward. Hey.
Are you going to choose her?
(Director Son Bum Soo, Writer Lim Jin Joo)
The beginning.
The place where the end is the furthest away.
In the place where it's the hardest to predict the result,
many crew members and actors come together,
and many values clash against each other.
In these hundreds and thousands of emotions,
people cannot interpret everything the same way.
Great work.
This way.
We're facing a problem without a clear cut answer.
And as we debate,
we will slowly find the answer.
Let's roll.
Ready,
action.
The beginning.
After you begin something, you're supposed to run to the end.
But we don't call that the end. We say it's completed.
- Okay. - Cut!
Cut.
It's a cut.
This monitor doesn't work.
Can you hurry up?
We won't put a value on success or failure.
Once something has begun, the value is in its completion.
I decided to enjoy this excitement.
It's this part.
And of course, small and large rocks will...
come by and say hi against our will.
Let's roll one more time.
- One more time. - Let's roll once again.
Ms. Lim. Ms. Lim? The ratings don't mean anything.
Who cares about the viewer ratings nowadays?
Don't worry about it.
We just aired episodes 1 and 2.
You know that people are talking about out drama, right?
Don't worry about it.
Director Son.
Your voice is shaking.
Are you crying?
What are you talking about? Goodness.
You don't sound like someone who's in this world.
No way.
Who cares if it's this world or the afterlife...
No, Ms. Lim.
Don't worry about the ratings.
Director Son.
Stop thinking, go home, and get some sleep tonight.
You've been out shooting all day long.
You're doing well, don't worry about it.
Just keep doing what you're doing, and trust me with the rest.
You said a drama depends on how the writer plays it out.
I'll go insane and have a lot of fun,
so trust me.
- Okay? - Thank you.
I'll call you again when I get home. Okay.
I thought it was good.
Why don't people watch it?
Hey, let's grab some beer before you go home.
Our drama's ratings are at one percent.
You're looking at me as if you're going on a reward vacation.
- Are you working on another drama? - No.
A crew member like you...
would watch "Show Me the Money" instead of our drama on Fridays.
You jerk.
If I don't watch that, I can't talk to other people.
- How do you call yourself a human? - Do you know what hip-hop is?
But people soon began to talk about our drama,
- and the interest went right up. - It was really fun yesterday.
But along with the heightened interest,
I was bullied by internet trolls too.
How dare you call me trash or something?
Do you know what my life is like?
You only look at whatever you want to find a fault...
only to criticize me.
How do you call yourself a human? How dare you swear at me?
Why do you keep reading the comments that trolls leave?
I'm tired.
Do you know how I got this far?
I didn't know something like this existed.
What that troll wants is for you to be like this.
Get up.
Hey, isn't this like murder?
Do they have spears for fingers?
What's the National Assembly doing instead of arresting them? Wait,
could this be...
Maybe he's an assemblyman!
Let me read that again.
When someone leaves a review that includes criticism,
you should probably accept it.
But internet trolls are something else.
You need to skip over them.
It's not like troll comments...
are colored-coded to warn me before I read them.
How am I supposed to skip them?
Just don't read them so you don't get upset.
People who curse online do it because they're lonely.
You can't kill someone just because you feel lonely.
Humans don't do that. That's what a monster would do.
Let's feel relieved that most people aren't like that.
The world is a place where nice people...
need to put in a bit more effort.
I know it might feel like a huge loss on our end,
but we can't hand over the world to the bad guys.
In that sense, you could say that we're protecting this Earth.
I thought the Avengers were the ones who protected Earth.
Thinking about Iron Man just made me feel sad.
Anyway, our drama is PG-15, right?
I bet my right wrist and your entire fortune...
that the people who wrote those bad comments are younger than 15.
Why are you betting my fortune?
I bet my wrist because you need to write,
and I bet your fortune because the real estate I own...
is going to become more expensive next year.
I can't believe you're so cunning.
I'm being rational.
I don't think my joke was very romantic.
You're very generous.
This is what I like about you.
I like all the lame jokes you make while we walk.
It's sexy to hear you talk to me without honorifics.
Don't become too passionate. I don't like that.
Just maintain this temperature and stay by my side...
for the rest of your life.
My temperature just rose a little. I need to cool down.
Come here. It's cool outside. It's okay.
No, I'm really hot right now.
Come over here. I don't want to be apart.
Good things always come with the bad.
But thankfully, we knew...
that the small gestures we do to console each other...
are actually the best way to confront a crisis.
(1 year later)
("Female Actress", Lee So Min, Directed by Lee Eun Jung)
What did you do to your documentary?
I know, right? It's because you made So Min into a star.
It became a huge hit because you filmed her...
dating her former manager.
Who knew she'd get married as soon as she became a star?
So Min is really smart when it comes to making money.
Gosh, I'm supposed to be an artist.
But I practically filmed a dating program.
That's the best kind of art ever.
Anyway, let's get going.
My friends who totally dominated the TV screen and movie theaters.
Let's go.
Thank you.
It's getting hot again.
Yes, you're right. I remember that the bingsu here was delicious.
You should have some. It's on the house.
No, it's okay.
Please don't refuse. This is our last month of business.
We managed to maintain the business until now,
but it's not easy.
Then I'll have the bingsu.
Okay, it won't take long.
This place is going out of business.
It's been around for a long time, I guess.
- Have a good trip. - Okay.
I'll meet them, shoot a good documentary,
and come back all tanned.
I'm proud of you. You'll do a great job.
You'll look pretty with a tan. It's going to be a long trip.
Are you sad?
I'm fine as long as you're happy.
Once you come back,
this place will be gone,
and I'll be gone as well.
Are you sad?
Do you know...
why the universe is so unfathomably big?
What?
Apparently, we all have a place of our own in the universe.
We can't live on this planet forever.
So once our time's up,
that's where we go next.
Let's meet...
up there.
Please let In Gook come to Jeju Island...
and spend a few days there during the summer holidays.
Sure.
What? What do you want?
Why do you keep showing off your house?
This is...
the apartment that I used to live in.
I just need a small studio so I'll have a place to stay...
whenever I come to Seoul for work.
I'd like to give this to you.
You're a working mother,
so it'll take you ages to buy your own house.
You hurt me like that when you're capable of thinking that far?
You're right. Anyway,
I'm not going to put on airs for giving this to you.
So don't hesitate...
Of course, I'll take it. Why would I hesitate?
And you can put on airs for giving this to me.
- Okay. - Is that all?
Yes.
I'll be off now.
Seung Hyo.
What about the property transfer tax?
The property transfer tax?
What are you looking at?
Obviously,
I'll pay for that.
- Thank you. - Okay, then.
- You should go. - Okay, I'll go now.
30 years old.
When you say you're young,
people scold you and say you're all grown up now.
And when you call yourself an adult,
people sneer at you and make fun of you.
It's a very weird age.
And now that we're a little over 30,
we're about to experience the true meaning of becoming independent.
The place is quite big.
We got you a place where you can both work and live.
Our company would've gotten you a penthouse if we could.
- Then get me a penthouse. - Please just accept our sincerity.
You signed a contract for two more dramas.
How long does that mean you need to live here?
Is this prison?
I hope this place will be a pleasant and peaceful prison.
I feel very happy yet uncomfortable.
That's what life is all about.
I have to say, it's nice.
Ms. Lim.
I know very well that your first drama was a huge hit.
Are you being sarcastic?
Are you being perverse?
"You're being arrogant because you succeeded very easily."
We're having a script meeting, but you're using my success...
which is totally off topic to criticize and attack me.
What do you mean? Why would I do that to you when you're on my side?
I'm only suggesting...
that we take the right direction as a director.
If you want to clinch your argument,
stick to the point...
instead of being sarcastic and insisting that you're superior...
because that's so petty.
What, petty? What about you then?
You're intentionally using mean words to hurt me...
instead of listening to me, and that's wicked.
Did you just say wicked? Where are your manners?
And you said petty because you have your manners?
You always tell me to listen to everything you say.
How unfair.
That's what I want to say.
You moved to a new studio,
so why do we come to this cafe every time?
That's not my decision. Don't throw a fit at me.
- It's 6pm. - Let's call it a day.
- Let's continue this tomorrow. - Okay.
I'll leave now.
How was your day today?
Did that punk director give you a hard time again?
Don't get me started. He's so stubborn.
He should experience a downturn once.
How was your day today?
I had a script meeting all day long,
and that witch of a writer won't listen to me at all.
She should suffer for a few years,
unable to work on her next piece.
- Don't do it. - I won't.
- Don't do it. - I won't. Don't do it.
- Don't. - Don't. I won't.
Lower it. Lower the temperature.
You must be hungry.
What should we eat?
Let's go to a famous restaurant.
I've made a list of famous restaurants.
Good job.
Anyway,
it's nice.
He's so passionate.
- I keep making him passionate. - Hey.
It's my fault.
Go keep doing it.
I'll be off first.
I told you that you didn't have to come pick me up.
Why don't you listen to me?
I told you I wouldn't listen, yet you don't listen to me.
Bye.
Dried smelt. I bet you can't find it in Europe.
I never said I liked it.
Well, whether you like it or not,
I wanted to give it to you.
Come to think of it, you look like a smelt.
I didn't prepare anything for you.
You might not be able to find more things in Africa.
Well, we'll be back in a few months.
Let's just...
have a talk.
- About what? - About...
what you didn't tell me all this time.
Your story.
Here's looking at you, kid.
It's a line from "Casablanca".
It was translated wonderfully in Korean.
Whatever you see with your eyes,
I...
will say cheers...
to your eyes.
Take it off.
Let's meet up in Morocco.
Before I head to Rwanda,
let's enjoy a taste of Casablanca together.
Let's give it some thought.
Okay.
("City of Angels")
Are you here to watch a musical?
- Yes. - I see.
I didn't think I'd see you here.
Me neither.
I'm here alone. What about you?
Me too.
Did you like musicals?
I came to like musicals after watching a few.
I see.
Where's your seat?
Here.
That's far away from mine.
All right, enjoy.
Thanks.
Ha Yoon.
- Yes? - What will you do after the show?
Nothing.
Do you want to grab a beer?
Okay.
Okay. I'll see you in front of the building then.
Okay.
In Gook, I told you to eat.
I'll eat when I become hungry.
Leave me alone while I'm playing!
Goodness, that little... Is he serious?
Guys like him might end up behaving during his puberty.
Let's not get our hopes up for such an unlikely probability.
Once he grows up a little more, it'll be a matter of strength.
Yes, let's start working out...
so that we can work together and overtake him with force.
When are we going to get back together?
- Go. - Okay.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
It's fine. The airport limousine is right out front anyway.
Quiet, before I stop you from leaving.
Hyo Bong, you became very manly after living with Moon Soo.
Goodness, the newlyweds must be so lovey-dovey.
Wait, I tried it once before, and it's not that great.
Goodbye.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
- Goodbye. - Okay.
Come to think of it,
I think it's great to be our age.
Among the age group that can get a new start in life,
we're the most experienced.
Among the age group that can seem a bit awkward to get a new start,
we're the most agile.
I suddenly feel energetic.
That means we're young and smart.
But I don't want to be smart...
when I'm with you two.
It's much more fun to be a bit foolish when we chat.
And I'm going to chat with you two until the day I die.
Don't make yourself look foolish on purpose...
to make our chats more interesting.
And don't get conceited thinking that you're smart.
And stay away from thinking that you're actually young.
Above all, don't you think...
focusing on the crisis you face at this moment...
is the only way to not make the crisis bigger?
Do not even mention instant noodles.
My dear Eun Jung who always fights with her body in a time of crisis!
Let's follow her lead.
You're the one who started this. You.
Right, watch out for terrorists.
How do I watch out for terrorists?
Watch out for handsome guys.
Why should I watch out for them?
- Don't go near areas of civil war. - I'm going to Europe.
You're going to Africa after you stop by Europe.
Exactly. And what's that thing? Watch out for nalaria.
- Malaria. - Watch out for malaria.
- This is it. - Yes, it is.
I'm already drooling.
- Let's eat. - Wait. Soup first.
No, noodles first.
- Fine, do whatever you want. - Let's eat.
Today, we had a delicious chat,
had delicious food,
and we love deliciously too.
This is it.
There will never be instant noodles...
that are better for your health when you eat them at night.
But even if it's bad for you,
we feel the happiness in this life, when we still have time...
to recover from this.
And we compliment each other for knowing that we can recover.
For now, let's eat deliciously.
- Isn't that right? - I mean, we can do that, right?
