[Names, businesses, places, and incidents
mentioned herein are fictional]

[Opportunities lost become regrets.]

[If there are no more opportunities
for me to lose,]

[I can just create them on my own.]

I'll be the one
in an unrequited love this time.

Just as you liked me...

No. Much longer than that.

I'll like you much more.

I'll act like you now.

You act like me.

Then, just as I liked you,

like me back.

If this is our cycle,

I'll wait.

You are still as arrogant.

You're always so confident

and do as you wish.

I'm confident for you too.

I have to be confident

so that I can catch you.

Don't catch me.

I said, don't catch me.

I didn't say what I just said

so I could go to you.
I said it to let you know I can't go back.

It's already too late.

You'll only give me a headache
if you shake me up.

I'll get going.

What should I do?

Someone who's late has no right.

It's nothing much.

It's nothing.

Why do I keep crying?

[The phone is turned off.]

[Please leave a message after the tone.]

[Kyung Woo-yeon]

You wouldn't pick up your phone.

I turned it off.

It's okay.

How could you be okay
about something like this?

Because you're Kyung Woo-yeon.

If you're angry, get mad at me.
If you're upset, say so.

You should show your emotions.

I feel more sorry when you act like this.

You'll get used to feeling sorry
and thankful.

When those feelings get dull,

maybe other feelings will become
clearer after that.

I'll try even harder.

How could you do better than now?

What are you looking for at this hour?

I couldn't sleep,
so I'm trying to make some tea.

Sit down. I'll make you some.

-I can do it.
-Sit down

and don't make trouble.

What is it?

Does it look like something happened?

You said you can't sleep.

You're drinking tea
in the middle of the night,

so I assume something's troubling you.

-Mom.
-Yes?

Will everything become okay

with time?

Will everything work out
if I put in the effort?

Do you mean with your work?

Work and heart, both.

Anything.

Efforts don't betray you.

Minus for a few exceptions.

[Episode 9: The Function of Efforts]

What are you thinking?

[I Pray]

"They're so good. I'm so jealous.
I envy them."

Something one-dimensional.

Soon enough, someone else
will be standing at your spot

in front of your work.

That's something really distant
for me at the moment.

It won't be that far away.

Eunyu Publishing is really good
at making books.

They sell well too.

They're number one in the industry.

I'm hungry. Let's go to eat.

I love the weather today.

Then I'll be the weather today.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Do you have a lot of work these days?

No. Why?

You look a little tired.

You look pale.

Could it be your liver?

Do I? Should I take some medicine?

My friend works at an amazing
pharmaceutical company.

This has boxthorn, oriental raisin,
East Asian stripe maple,

gardenia seeds, turmeric, kudzu,
and mugwort among others.

It has everything that's good
for the liver...

-Forget it.
-Why?

I feel like I'm trying to sell something
to you.

It's okay. You probably brought it
since it's good.

No, forget what I said.

I don't want to be mistaken
by the person I like.

The book is nearing its completion.

-Already?
-I've been working on and off,

so I just have to work on
the last shooting.

When I say I did it on and off,
I don't mean I did it half-heartedly.

I worked really hard,
so my wrist is hurting.

Look. I can't even hold up a fork.

I should let our insurance
cover your treatment.

Have you decided on the title?

Right.

I just realized
we forgot to come up with one.

Take your time.

I'm not the type of person who rushes
someone who hurt themselves while working.

[Woo-yeon]

[What should we call the book?]

You're reading.
Is it a book that you like?

Let's only talk about work.

Sure.

The final photos.

What about the title?
Did you think about it?

What about you?

"Seoul Becomes a Vacation"

I want to say that Seoul,

which is familiar,
can become a place for a trip.

Seoul is too pretty
to walk past and not notice

Yes. Too pretty.

That's why I can't leave.

What about you?

Did you think of some titles?

"A Daily Occurrence For You,
a Trip For Me."

Seoul may be a daily thing for you,

but it was a trip for me.

I like that.

I'm thinking of adding
something like that in the text.

"The moment when the familiar seems new."

"A place where that newness
feels good. Seoul."

Why are you staring at me?

Why are you totally fine?

Do you want to be friends?

-What?
-Or

should I ask you to go out with me
although I don't like you

just because you like me?

Sounds familiar, right?

Feels even worse
hearing it said to you, right?

It does hurt, but I feel fine.

What can I do? I'm the one who said it.

I told you to act like me.

Do you want to be friends?

Or should I be someone
you kill time with?

It's an essay question,
not multiple choice.

You can hit me.
You can curse at me.

I'll do whatever you say.

Why are you forcing
your emotions on me?

Do whatever you want.

That's how this happened.

Because everything I did to you
was the wrong answer.

That's why I'm asking you.

What should I do?

What are you doing?

Unrequited love.

Thoughtfully.

I refuse it all.

Your thoughtfulness

and your promise to do whatever I say.

I don't want to be like you.

I like the title. Let's go with that.

We're done, so I'm out.

You won't take my calls, right?

Right.

You won't see me if I go to you, right?

I'll call the cops.

What about coincidences?

Are coincidences okay?

Since coincidences are by coincidence.

I don't care enough about you
to complain about coincidences.

I won't need a coincidence.

["The Harmless Person"
A Novel by Choi Eun-young]

Are you okay?

It's awkward.

Not that. About being dumped.

I didn't know what I felt. It happens.

I'm the jerk.

Hey!

How could you just end it
because you want to?

I won't be a jerk anymore,

so can't you give me a chance?

How...

How could an unrequited love change?

[You freak.]

[It's your dad. I'm hanging up.]

No wonder.
I was surprised that she picked up.

Were you dumped?

I wouldn't go out with you either.

Why not?

I thought he had multiple personalities.

He got mad, then begged,

then suddenly tried to persuade me
with reason...

Dad.

Is that why you came?

No.

I wanted to eat all together
before you left.

I wanted to say something too.

-I'm not going.
-You're not?

Why not? Because of her?

Not you too.

What did you want to say?

You get mad every time you see us, right?

Then get mad every time you see us.

As you said, it may be in the past,
but it did happen.

The wounds from back then,
the rage you still have inside...

Let them all go.

It wasn't that big a sin.

I know.

We're the ones who sinned.
Why are you the one paying for it?

I'm sorry

for just leaving you alone back then.

What has gotten into you?

I'm worried that you'll hurt others
as you were hurt.

I'm worried that you'll act cold and mean

in order to hide your scars.

I want our son to be happy.

You should get mad and curse at me

whenever you see me.

What?

Dump everything that's festering inside

on me.

What has gotten into you?

I don't want you to grow old
being mean to hide your scars.

I did a lot of wrong things to you.

Resent me and curse at me.

[Can't you do this little thing?]

[Am I stupid? Must you say it like that?]

[How should I say it then?]

[Must I do worry about
every little thing like this?]

[You used to tell me
not to lift a finger.]

[-Why are you getting annoyed?
-Because I'm annoyed!]

What if you do that too?

What?

Boyfriends who ran to the pharmacy
if their girlfriends got a little cut

turn into husbands who always get annoyed.

Do you think I'd do that?

No one is like that from the start.

Marriage starts off as a fairy tale
but turns into a story

about someone you know.

What's wrong with that?

Someone I know

peels his wife's shrimp for her
even when they're fighting.

The wife curses him out
and says she hates him,

but she picks out his clothes.

That's how they live.

I like that story.

I hope we end up the same.

I love you, Kim Young-hee.

How much?

As much as a house costs in Seoul.

That's way too much pressure.

[I'm the only one desperate for you.]

[You don't care for me.]

[It's rare for the one you like
to like you back.]

[She cut hurt him
without lifting a finger.]

[I didn't know what it meant
to love a person.]

[I lack the confidence and courage...]

[I opened the book
to learn more about you]

[and only discovered my wrongdoings.]

[Feelings I want to keep]

[Like how feelings you overlooked
suddenly show up...]

[Daily life to you...]

[Sang-hyeok]

[You're invited to a new menu
tasting session on Wednesday.]

[Jin-ju, Young-hee, Hyun-jae]

[I'm busy.]

[Office workers don't make plans
on weekdays.]

[I'll go if Young-hee goes.]

[Why doesn't anyone want to come?]

[Woo-yeon]

[I'll go if I can.]

This is a coincidence.

She said coincidences are okay.

[Mom]

Shouldn't you be at work?

[I stepped out for a moment.]

[What time are you coming home?]

I'm going to be late today. Why?

No reason. I was just wondering
when you might come.

Do you have something to say?

[Of course not.]

All right. Don't be too late.

Okay.

-Gosh.
-What are all these?

This has boxthorn, oriental raisin,
East Asian stripe maple,

gardenia seeds, turmeric, kudzu,
and mugwort among others.

They're nutritional supplements
good for the liver.

What have you been up to these days?

Don't take them then. I was being nice.

Wait, wait. I'll take them.

Was this passed by Food and Drug Safety?

Honey, take them.

-I'm okay. Take them to your mother.
-No, you take them.

I have more in the car. Do you want more?

I think that would be nice.

I'll be right back.

What's with her?

-That looks good.
-Yes.

Hey. You look cool.

You're looking normal for a change.

Really? Guess where I am.

I'm with my friends.

Did you eat?

Doesn't it smell like something's burning?

Do you mean my heart?

No, your heart's not burning.

Something else is burning.

Hey, the fire!

-Gosh.
-Watch out.

-Fire.
-What do we do?

-It's burning.
-What?

Open. Open the windows.

-Hurry.
-What happened?

Gosh, I almost died.

You were acting too frivolous.

No, I wasn't. I was looking cool.

We're tired office workers,
but you called us out on a weekday night

and you made us breathe in smoke.

Sorry.

Let it go, honey.
I'm sure he had good intentions.

What's the point when the result is this?

-You're a really bad girl.
-Don't speak casually to me!

You startled me.

By the way, where did Woo-yeon and Soo go?

I'm at "Tonight".

Sang-hyeok asked us to come
and taste his new menu.

Are all of your friends there?

Yes.

I'm on my way to a public reading.

[Tonight]

[I figured I wouldn't be able
to contact you for a while,]

[so I wanted to hear your voice.]

I'll pick you up later. See you.

Okay.

Do you have something to say?

I have a lot to say.

But you won't give me the time for it.

[Tonight]

Yes. I don't think there will be
any time today either.

I wondered why I was always
the wrong answer for you.

I get it now.

My best efforts are tormenting you.

Just because what happened is in the past
doesn't mean it didn't happen.

The bad memories must be clear to you,

but I acted like
nothing happened. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I always joked around
and spoke so lightly.

I'm also sorry that all of my efforts

were so selfish.

I just felt like I should tell you,

although doing this might be selfish too.

Can't you just live a good life?

You said you'll do whatever I say, right?

Just live a good life.

Don't be trapped in the past,

and don't try to fix
what's been ruined already.

Don't bother clinging onto something
that won't work.

I'm going to lead a good life too.

I'll act like I am,

but I can't guarantee it.

I'll regret all the chances I lost.

I have too many regrets.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to act well.

But I'll still try to act like

I'm well and living a good life
in front of you,

so just assume that I'm fine

and that I'm living well.

[Tonight]

Why are you staying outside?

No reason.

Should I lend you an ear, or should I
go back in and ignore everything?

Soo says he likes me.

If he said he likes you,

why are you sitting there
with a face like that?

What kind of face do I have on?

Like someone who saw the world fall apart.

Because I thought this would never happen.

It's something I desperately wanted
for a long time.

And not now?

I like Joon-soo.

Yes.

I'm glad to hear that,

but why does that sound like
a spell to me?

"I like Joon-soo."
"Please make me like him."

That's what it sounds like to me.

Illnesses and feelings
will only grow bigger

if you cover them up.

-I got a discount too.
-Really?

-What? What about Soo?
-He left.

How can he leave without saying bye?

This is how he is.

He always comes and goes without a word.

He lives as he pleases.

Did something happen?

I'll tell you later.

Can you hear me now?

We're in front of your place.

What are you doing here?

I told you I'd pick you up.

Don't you remember?

No.

I'm glad.

Why?

Because you'd be embarrassed
if you remember.

Did I do something?

You snored.

I'm joking.

It's late. Go inside and sleep.

You can snore all you want.

Come on...

You should drive home safely too.

I love you.

I love you, Woo-yeon.

Thank you for today.

-I'm almost there.
[-You're so selfish until the end.]

[Back then, and today too.]

You were selfish in every moment.

[Whether you like me or not...]

Whether you're going to wait for me
or not...

Whether you live a good life or not...

It's me, Young-hee.
She's too drunk right now...

[Joon-soo]

You're crazy.

Woo-yeon.

Gosh.

Mr. On.

Woo-yeon is a little drunk right now.

Hey, try and get up. Come on.

[Lee Soo]

I guess you're not confident.

[Eunyu Art Museum]

When is this exhibition on until?

Until the 17th of this month.

The calligraphy photo collection
is scheduled to publish next month, right?

Yes, that's right.

You haven't decided on
the publishing event yet, right?

No.

Great.

Thank you.

I hear you're dating these days.

How did you know?

I'll see myself out.

Gosh, how did she find out?

Don't be too harsh on Sang-sik.
I asked him.

Good.

I was dying to boast anyway.

Are you not like that anymore?

What do you mean?

Do you still play it safe?

You used to stay a step behind

and waited until something you wanted
came to you,

or you just endured it all
in order to keep it.

You were like that.

I'm still like that in some ways,
but I also changed in other ways.

I'm not sure what the right way is.

It becomes more difficult
the more I'm desperate.

I think it's closed.

Is it okay to go in?

Do you know the name of this building?

"Eunyu Art Museum"...

I'm the CEO Eunyu Publishing, remember?

That's amazing.

You suddenly feel so distant.

Don't put it like that.

You should say,
"Gosh, my boyfriend is so rich."

"Which bag should I ask him to buy?"

I wish those were the thoughts
on your mind.

Then is our next date
happening at a department store?

What time should we go to tomorrow?

I was joking.

Why did we come here?

Before choosing a bag,
I want you to choose something else.

How long do you think it'll take
for you to wrap up the book?

Soon?

There won't be any issues in finishing it
for the publishing schedule.

That's good.

This is the best spot at this gallery.

What do you want hanging at this spot
next month?

Why are you asking me?

You should start thinking about it

because your work will be hanging here
next month.

We'll hold a calligraphy photo exhibition
as the publishing event.

From now on, if the path
you're taking is too rough,

I'll pave it for you.

If what you want is far away,

I'll bring it in front of you.

You can take it easy in front of me.

Am I Cinderella?

Do you want to be Aladdin instead?
I'm your Genie.

I think Genie is much cooler
than a foolish prince

who can't even recognize the one he loves.

Yes, Young-hee.

Have you made wedding invitations before?

[People often order wedding invitations
in a bulk, so I haven't.]

I made a lot of postcards
and cards before.

Why? Is someone getting married?

[Six Months Till Wedding Day Check List]

What? No, I'm just curious.

I bet you and your boyfriend
had a huge fight.

With Joon-soo?

Why?

Did he not say anything?

You called your boyfriend drunk last night

thinking he's Soo.

What?

Is your boyfriend

[considerate or foolish?]

[How could he not say anything
after hearing everything?]

I'll call you back later.

[Okay.]

You should go in.

Don't you have anything to say to me?

No.

Okay. Thank you for driving me home.

Sleep tight.

You too.

[I want to like things that you like.]

I should match you.

It's okay. Because you're Kyung Woo-yeon.

Don't hold back.

If you ever fall short,
I'll make up the difference.

I'm your Genie.

[Will everything work out
if I put in the effort?]

[Efforts don't betray you.]

[Minus for a few exceptions.]

Like people's feelings
and sudden misfortune

can't be controlled by efforts.

Hello?

Let's meet tomorrow.

I need to tell you something.

Okay.

Are you looking for something
in particular?

Well... I want to propose to my boyfriend.

-Really?
-Yes.

-May I take a look at this?
-Sure.

[Efforts don't betray you.]

[However, there are things for which]

[effort is unnecessary.]

[Hapjun University Hospital]

[It's stomach cancer.]

[For example, unavoidable misfortune]

[or people's hearts.]

I could've gone to you.

I thought it was only right
that I come to you.

I ordered the coffee for you.

There are many reasons to like you.

But even if I recite
all those reasons again and again,

it won't turn into love for me.

Is it that you can't do it,
or that you can't do it for me?

It hurts very much.

I'm sorry.

It hurts more to admit it.

And it doesn't hurt if you keep it in?

Why do you never say anything?

Why do you always keep it in?

If I called you thinking it was
another guy, you should've gotten mad.

You should've resented me.

You should've scolded me.

How could I say that
when I feel like you'll leave me?

I knew you didn't love me.

I knew you weren't over him.
That's why I tried.

I thought that if I was patient

and kept it in, you'll love me.
So I waited.

Couldn't you have been
a little considerate of me?

You should've given me time to think.

Time to think about
things that were to come.

Why should you think about that?

Why upset yourself about the inevitable?

No matter how hard you try,
you're always nervous.

So you just take it again and again.

Eventually, you lose yourself.

That's a bad relationship.

So...

let's break up.

I'm sorry.

[The feeling of impotence brought by
the realization the efforts were in vain.]

[That feeling that wrecks a person]

[is the adverse effect of effort.]

Will you just take it again?
Although you have the right?

I'll try even harder.

How could you do better than now?

Why? Did Woo-yeon say she likes me again?

Why you...

You get only one punch.

I don't care if she likes you.
You can't have her.

Any other guy, but not you.

Who are you to decide that?
Who do you think you are?

Because you only made her cry
for ten years.

Because you have no idea
how precious her feelings are.

I do now.

That's why I'm going to like her
from now on!

Excuse me.

What do you think you're doing?

-Woo-yeon.
-Woo-yeon.

You're making my tears dry right up.

What are you, kids?

Your lip's all busted.

You said you've been sparring
for ten years.

How can you beat someone up like that?

Did a trained fighter hit a person?

This is assault. Maybe aggravated assault.

My dad's a lawyer.

I was wrong.

Hey, I'm hurt too.

I guess your lips are fine.

That's not fair.
You should treat us equally.

Have you no shame?

Do you think you and Joon-soo the same?

Do you? Seriously.

That hurts.

I want to stop with the bad relationships.

Relationships in which I always get hurt
or hurt the other person are

both harmful to me.

It's too hard. I can't take it.

That's why I can't go out
with either of you.

No.

I won't go out with either of you.

You can curse me out if you want.

You can resent me for being selfish.

I told you before, didn't I?

That my pain is my burden to bear.

Whether I cling onto you
or find an excuse to see you,

I will go to you.

I'll wait.

If you'll come to me, I'll wait quietly.

Do as you wish.

I don't care anymore.

I care the most about myself.

[One month later]

[Where the past and present can coexist.]

[We may be displaced,
but we still live on.]

[A daily occurrence for you,
a trip for me.]

[A feeling you want to protect.]

[Just like feelings that you were
unaware of suddenly surface.]

[Will You Marry Me?]

It's so pretty.

You got another one?

My book is being published soon.

So I got this for myself.

Gosh.

Let's succeed.

[Let's succeed, Kyung Woo-yeon.]

Awesome. This is great.

Aren't you going on dates anymore?

You're always working at home.

No, I'm not.

Did you break up with both of them?

I broke up with one of them,

and I never went out with the other.

I thought that love letter kid
said he'd wait. Did he give up already?

It was only a month.

I told him not to wait.

Did you go through my things?

That's why I told you to clean up
a little.

Do you want to eat, sleep, and work
in that pigsty?

Yes. I'm going to eat, sleep, work,
and die there.

The guys need to see her nasty temper
so that they can come to their senses.

Don't complain about Woo-yeon.

She's just like you when you were young.

["The Harmless Person"]

["The Harmless Person"
A Novel by Choi Eun-young]

[From Soo]

["The Harmless Person"
A Novel by Choi Eun-young]

[I thought people disappointed me.]

[But I had disappointed them.]

[My emptiness made someone
ready to love me leave me.]

[I'm going to take a short trip.]

[I'm going to take a short trip.]

[I won't be going far. Just within Korea.]

[I can come whenever you call,]

[but I feel like I'll bug you
if I stay near you.]

[I said I'll wait, so I'll wait quietly.]

[You can call me if you get drunk.]

[Even better if you call
because you miss me.]

It has been a month,
but she didn't call once.

It's like it really is over.

[I opened the book
to learn more about you]

[and only discovered my wrongdoings.]

[I've brought the sentences]

[that you underlined with me as well.]

Sir. I've notified the photographer
and calligrapher

of the schedule for the photo book.

We gave the calligraphy
a lot of attention as well...

so that it isn't overshadowed
by the photos as instructed.

What are you so unhappy with?

I don't want to work with a foolish boss.

Bring me your resignation.
I'll process it right away.

Hey, you! Have you no pride?

Do you really want to do all this
for an ex-girlfriend?

We didn't break up.

She told you it was over.
She won't answer your calls.

You can't even ask how she's doing.

That means you broke up.

When writers get stuck, they stop
or start over.

They take a break.

That's what this is.

If you start over,
it's not the same thing.

It's the same
if the intention is the same.

["A Daily Occurrence For You,
a Trip For Me"]

Whatever.

Bring this to Woo-yeon.

And bring back news about her?

You can't quit.

-Why not?
-You know me too well.

It's so frustrating, I can't breathe.

Mr. On said to bring this to you.

Thank you.

["A Daily Occurrence For You,
a Trip For Me"]

Did you get the text about the exhibit?

-Yes.
-You'll come, won't you?

Will Mr. On be there as well?

That's the point.

You should still come.

I should. It's work.

I'm shameless, aren't I?

As the editor, I appreciate your attitude.

But as Joon-soo's friend, I hate you.

He's a total wreck.

I know I shouldn't blame you.
My apologies.

Not at all.

I've done my part, so I'll go now.

I'll see you then.

["A Daily Occurrence For You,
a Trip For Me"]

[Photography Lee Soo,
Calligraphy Kyung Woo-yeon]

["A Daily Occurrence For You,
a Trip For Me"]

Seeing them in an exhibit like this,
I can see

how well the photos
and Ms. Kyung's calligraphy go together.

-They look good.
-You have a great eye.

[Seongsu-dong]

[A feeling you want to protect.]

You look like you feel awkward.
Is it because it has been a month?

A little.

Congratulations on your first exhibit.

Thank you.

It took an entire month
to come up with an excuse.

What do you think?

[Liberation Town]

[We may be displaced,
but we still live on.]

[When one cycle ends, another begins.]

[Abandoned but able to start anew.]

[Efforts don't betray you.]

[However,]

[there are things that require]

[and don't require effort.]

[For example,]

[people's feelings.]

-Hello, Mr. Lee.
-Thank you for your hard work.

[Where will we be
once all the vain efforts]

[come to an end?]

[Why did you do that?]

Pardon? What?

[Why did you do that to Woo-yeon?]

Oh, that.

You never see things that are too close.

[Why did you do that to Woo-yeon?]

For example, you can't see
if you hold the mirror too close.

So imagine how close you are to yourself.

[Why did you do that to Woo-yeon?]

I misunderstood myself.

I cleared it up though.

[I think the ship has sailed.]

If Woo-yeon is a ship that has sailed,
I'll swim until it stops for me.

[A message for Woo-yeon?]

Woo-yeon. You're bound to come back to me.
