All language subtitles for Be.Melodramatic E16.END

Anyway, to tell you the truth,

I'm seeing someone.

Seriously? So who is the guy?

Where did you meet him?
How long has it been?

Well, that's...

He's tall.

He's cute.

He's Jae-hun.

- It's Jae-hun?
- No.

I mean, he's the same age as Jae-hun.

- I see. A younger guy.
- I see. A younger guy.

And

remember that day?

When we went clubbing?

I told him that I was there with you guys.

But he came back and asked for my number.

When he asked,
his shoulders were so broad.

You gave your number for his shoulders?

I think I can kind of understand.

My head is spinning.
That was such shocking news.

She knows how to shock us.

My gosh, my head is spinning.

Well, I can't say that we are dating.

We're just texting each other.

Every day?
Even on your way to work in the morning?

When you're working during the day?
Before you go to sleep?

Probably.

They are dating.

- You're in a relationship.
- Really?

Byeong-sam and I text each other
all the time, too.

That's work.

Then, how many times
do you see him in a week?

We have a meal and drinks once a week.

- They're not in a relationship.
- They're not.

- We're not?
- It means you meet up regularly.

If you're not sure, you can just ask.

- That'd be confessing her feelings.
- Is that so?

- Right.
- Right.

Goodness.

You know, I wasn't going to ask
since this is just too childish.

Let's clear this up in one go.

How far did you go?

- Eyes.
- What?

We just exchanged eye contact.

Han-ju. No one will fall
for your innocent act anymore.

Just tell us.

- Gosh.
- I knew it.

That's it. It's settled.

You're in a relationship.

It's settled.

No, listen.
But we didn't define the line yet.

That's okay. Just have fun with him.

- Good job.
- It's settled. That's all right.

Be quiet. Quiet down.

- Be quiet.
- Congratulations.

Nice.

There was a drama I liked.

Two main characters who loved each other

sacrificed their love first
to satisfy their own desires.

After going through
all kinds of hardships,

they lost everything and were back
to where they started before.

They fully realized how foolish
they had been for trying

to get something so small
in exchange for something so big.

They realized that their foolish act

was bound to happen again.

And they comfort each other
by saying the time gave them

the courage to start again.

This extremely unproductive process

that doesn't even help us
become a more mature person

is something most of the people around me

have gone through.

Watching dramas isn't educational at all,

so we end up becoming
the main character in the drama.

How foolish we are.

However,

we don't turn down
our desire to start again.

How brave we are.

Perhaps, our bodies

are bound to be one of these love types.

MELODRAMATIC SOYANG TYPE,
MELODRAMATIC TAEYANG TYPE,

MELODRAMATIC SOEUM TYPE,

AND MELODRAMATIC TAEUM TYPE

I'm sorry.

I told you that I loved you guys.

But look at this.

This is the last batch of cherry tomatoes.

- Why?
- They withered away

because I couldn't take care of them.

- You must be feeling guilty.
- A bit.

I lost them,
but I won't think of it as a failure.

We indeed had good times together.

Yes.

We can start again.

We can plant the seeds,
and wait until the sprouts grow.

The process that we go through
until the plant bears fruits

might seem a bit of a hassle to you,
but...

And it's hard to grow sprouts.

You're supposed to do it until they grow.

We can live without the cherry tomatoes.

But it's nice to have them.

This kind of emotion reminds me
of the last episode of Sandglass

when Hye-rin and U-seok
were scattering the Tae-su's ashes.

What's this fuss over cherry tomatoes?

Hye-rin.

U- seok.

Do you think they started again?

I feel like U-seok
has a wife he loves now.

And for some reason,
Hye-rin might be alone.

You know that we're in the middle
of the script meeting, right?

You guys are doing this
because you don't want to work.

She caught us.

Half of the things we talk about
during the script meeting are useless.

Chitchatting is the soil for inspiration.

And the pressure of the deadline
is lurking around during the meeting.

Shall we continue our meeting
while eating?

- Shall we?
- Yes.

So how's the preparation coming along?

This is the script meeting.

Given how pressed we are for time,
it's going smoothly.

Well, the staff has a lot of experience.

We're not experienced. Why don't we--

But I noticed this
when I was watching dramas.

They put so much effort
at the beginning of the drama,

but as the story progresses,
it gets a bit sloppy.

It's because they don't have much time.

But don't worry about that.

I figured out a plan
to prevent that from happening.

- I see.
- It will be a groundbreaking suggestion.

How?

To prevent the quality of the drama
falling later in the story,

we'll lower the quality of the drama
from the beginning.

My gosh. Goodness.

Gosh. How come no one has thought of this?

But you said

you wouldn't half-ass it
because you don't have time.

Ms. Lim.

For a marathon like a drama,

consistency means quality.

I knew it.

Directors don't look at the trees.
They look at the forest.

Ms. Lim, you told me

that you promised yourself
not to be the best.

I was so inspired when you said that.

I was truly impressed.

We're inspiring each other
to grow tremendously.

You inspire each other to deteriorate.

I get that you guys are tired,

but you can't go crazy yet. Both of you.

It's okay to be a bit crazy.

And yet, the earth still moves.

What the heck are you saying?

Let's talk about the script.

- Do you want to have some cake?
- I like that idea.

Bang, bang, bang.

Bang.

Bang.

It's a Yirgacheffe.

Discussion of the meeting,
cherry tomatoes.

Lower the quality from the start.

Cake. Didn't talk about the script.

We ought to discuss the script
outside the studio.

I agree.

I write all day in the studio.
It gets suffocating.

But why do we always come
to this coffee shop?

There's a reason.

The Melodramatic Soyang Type
thing in Episode ten?

I really liked that bit.

I came up with that spontaneously.

Really? I really liked it.

You're saying that at the end of the day,
it all comes down to types, right?

What happens to Choe, the team manager?

Is there an ending
you didn't write in the synopsis?

See? They were over the moon, right?

Yes.

When I saw how happy they were
after hearing that I was dating,

it sort of

made me pity myself.

"Is this something they should be
that happy about?

How have I living so far, then?"

Yes. It's exactly that.

People say that they are tired of dating,
but I guess it's still a good thing.

- What?
- When people hear that someone is dating,

no one worries about it first

except for special cases
like if you were dating

a foe of your family.

Is that so?

Hello.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Would you like a cup of tea?
- No.

It's the coffee beans you like.

They'll start filming soon.
You must have a lot of work.

I'll hire more help
for the production team.

Don't overdo yourself. Okay?

Take it easy.

Why...

Why is she being so nice?

Is she leaving or something?

I got goosebumps.

You know why.

Please tell me.

Oh, my. It was supposed to be a secret,
but you got me.

Oh, my. I thought
we were supposed to share secrets.

Oh, my. Then, I must tell you.

Well, I'll tell you

what happened.

Honey.

So-jin just finished work.

Dang it. If you keep being grumpy wumpy,

I will bite you.

What do you mean where?
Of course, it will be your lips.

Did you say you missed me?

Okay. So-jin will be there soon.
Wait for me.

Okay. Bye.

I love you! Gosh!

Well, that's what she sounded like.

I tried my best to show you, but I can't.

Try using only half of your tongue.

"I'll be there soon. Wait for me."

That's not how she did it.

The sound couldn't have come
from a human being.

How long have they been dating?

It's been 50 days,
so they got promise rings.

How lovely.

I like it. I agree.

It's great.

Since this is a twist,
why don't we take it farther?

What? Like how?

Why don't they get promise rings?

They don't look like the type
who'd get that.

I like that.

Right. I had a question.

- Mr. Sung and Ms. Jung.
- Yes.

- Their romance wasn't in the synopsis.
- Yes.

What will happen to them?

How could she be so rude to me?
How could she?

Damn it.

My heart is pounding.

Gosh, I'm 50 years old.
What's happening to me?

This is embarrassing.

I mean...

How do we end up meeting here every day?

I guess you do go to tent bars often.

I like the sentiment of tent bars.

It tastes moderately bad, expensive,

and uncomfortable.

It's a good place to stay for a moment.

It's like lonely people
aren't being comforted

or taken advantage of.

It's like,
"Rest for a while here. Or not."

You're philosophical and sentimental.

This question might sound funny,

- but why are you still single?
- Pardon?

I am married.

What? I thought you lived alone.

I do because I sent her away.

Did she pass away?

No. She's in the States.

I work here alone to support my family.

So you're a father.

I only raise dogs.

You had a family to support abroad.

Do you want to get into a taxi?

Yes.

But

I think it might be better
if I could sober up more before I go home.

Then,

we should walk around a bit more
and get a taxi.

Right.

I didn't know you were so short.

What?

I didn't notice that

because you were like an Appalachian
black bear when you were yelling at me.

You're so short.

Stop right there

before the Appalachian black bear
sucker punches you in your gut.

You should think about your height.
My height is average.

Gosh, don't you know who I am?

I hugged a lot of women, so I can tell.

I'm sure you probably hugged
a lot of dogs.

- You know what?
- I don't want to know.

When I was young,
I got lost because didn't know better.

Nowadays, I get lost
because I pretend not to know.

Right. Let's stay clueless
for the rest of our lives.

That makes us look younger.

Right.

We're young.

Goodness.

- Is that it?
- Yes.

I don't know. Will they stay as
good friends for the rest of their lives?

Or will they face a day when
they will stop pretending to be clueless?

- So an open ending?
- Yes.

I want things to work out for them,
but what they have now isn't so bad.

Right. Exactly.

What about him?

Will he still be single?

All right. I studied them when I was
gathering information on horse riding.

I thought it'd be useful to you.

But our drama isn't about horse riding.

That's just the main character's hobby.

That's why we must
be extensively educated.

I reviewed the script for Episode 12.
I printed it out myself.

There were some parts
that seemed a bit random in the story.

I did fact-checking

and analyzed the emotions of the character
from Episode one.

And I added some of my ideas in it.

A review is your opinion about the drama.

How can it be longer
than the script itself?

It adds to the details, doesn't it?

Mr. Kim, don't you have hobbies
other than working?

I don't.

Why don't you date?

I married dramas.

So you're married.

Right. I started exercising.

It doesn't matter which exercise it is.

Doing it regularly is the most important.

To exercise regularly, being motivated
must be the most important, right?

Is there a goal that made you
want to exercise?

Yes.

I want to be good at arm-wrestling.

"Arm-wrestling"?

- You know this is a Pilates center, right?
- Yes.

I thought about my goal in terms of
modern anatomy and science of exercise.

I need to build my core first.

And building my muscles afterward
is my strategy.

I see.

For arm-wrestling?

Arm-wrestling. I'll beat him.

- Pardon?
- What?

Anyway, that's my plan.

First, relax your wrists.

- Okay.
- Shake your wrists.

Rotate your wrists inward.
Hold the bar and lift it.

All the way to the ceiling.

Relax your traps now.

And close your ribcage.

Close it. Inhale.

Use your abdominal muscles.

Tighten your muscles
when you come back up.

Two, three. Good job.

Thank you.

Hwan-dong.

- Yes?
- Do you follow a dietary plan?

Well, I try.

There's a new salad restaurant
in front of the studio. It's good.

If you eat a healthy meal,

I think you allow yourself
to have a glass of beer.

It's your friend's restaurant, isn't it?

Are you promoting it?

I'll go there with my staff some time.
Have a good day.

Well, he might be single
for the rest of his life.

No. Who knows?
He might meet a coach of his own.

Gosh, he's stimulating
the competitive side of me.

You think so?

Should I make it happen?

I wanted to see more
of her sister and her boyfriend.

They are cute.

Right.

If only one of us passes the exam,

and if one of us fails, will we break up?

If you study one more page instead of
thinking about that, you'll pass.

Don't say stuff my mom would say.
I'm serious.

Just eat.

If only one of us passes the exam,
why don't we both give up?

If you tell me that load of crap
in that serious tone,

I don't know how to respond to that.

Whatever happens, I'll take care of you.

- Jeong-hwan.
- Yes.

Take care of yourself.

If you can do that, I'll love you.

Really? Okay.

Eat up.

But they'll probably break up.
They are still young.

What kind of logic is that?

Her sister is a utilitarian.

Because she's utilitarian,

she'll know that protecting
her relationship will be beneficial.

When the relationship fails,
she won't even give it another chance.

She'll get married early in her life.

If her long-term relationship is over

in her 30s,

she's the type to marry a guy
from a blind date.

She'll probably marry a civil servant.

I don't want to hear that.
I won't listen to it.

They'll love each other until they die.
Just do that for me.

Then, let's wrap it up
where they make the empty promise.

- How about that?
- Come on.

And this couple.

They shouldn't make
their relationship public.

Let's just marry them off.

- All of a sudden?
- Yes.

"Even if he was held back a year...
Held back a year...

We're the same age."

- "Even if he was held-- "
- You're studying the script hard.

Yes. I suck at memorizing.
I must read it 100 times.

Anyway, you're making an effort.

One time, I got my line wrong
12 times at a shoot.

My scene was the last one to film.

Because I kept getting it wrong,
the filming didn't end.

And it was one of the coldest days.

It was minus 20 degrees Celsius.

- You still filmed that day?
- Yes, as long as it doesn't rain.

Before I froze to death that day,

I thought I would die
from the scowls on the staff's faces.

They were scowling at me
like I should freeze to death right there.

That's when I promised myself
to make efforts.

I'm hungry.

- You're hungry?
- Let's eat first.

Jjajangmyeon? Should we get that?

- Sounds good.
- Okay.

Min-jun.

I'll kill her first.

What?

You're a head manager.
Why accompany her to the salon?

Our road manager couldn't make it.

So why you out of all people?

Because I'm diligent.

Do you want to diligently get beaten up?

That bitch asked for you, right?

You have so much passion
for your love life.

Aren't you tired?

Hello, Seon-ju.

Hi, So-min.

I can't get up right now.
I'm drying my nails.

I see. Do you need your nails to get up?

The rhinestones are heavy, you know.

Gosh, how heavy.

I hear congratulations are in order.

Oh, that.

An actress filming a movie
is nothing to celebrate.

I heard you're dating.

I did back then.

The last time I had a boyfriend
was 20 years ago.

I heard it's been two months.

And he's a baseball player.

I don't even know baseball.

- He's in the Giants.
- It's the Bears.

What? What do you want?

You tell me.
Should I get a tabloid reporter on you?

One that's good at keeping focus, perhaps?

Why would you do that?
We're both actresses. Stop it.

The CEO caught me with my ex-boyfriend.

He gave me an earful for that.

Didn't you last date 20 years ago?

Fine. It was a month ago.

You've been with your current boyfriend
for two months.

So-min, do you need something?

Min-jun is mine.

- What?
- I'm dating Min-jun.

What? My Min-jun?

I mean, Mr. Kim?

Address him properly.

Don't look at him

for more than three seconds
with your pretty eyes.

No way.

This is so fun.

- Did you get that?
- Yes, So-min.

You're leaving?

So-min, bye.

- Okay.
- I love you.

Marry them all of a sudden?

Well, they've been together for so long.

They aren't the type to weigh
the pros and cons of love.

We can fast-track their marriage.

I don't want a wedding
in the last episode.

It looks like I added that
because I have nothing else to say.

That's not true.

What I had in mind
was the beauty of the scene itself.

Happy endings are nice.

What?
Getting married isn't a happy ending.

If I were to be precise,

declaring to stay single
is closer to a happy ending.

You're not going to marry me?

I thought
he would say something like that.

He probably won't. I know.

Well, I do think
they will get married though.

They can't ever break up.

She's a celebrity,
but she's not calculative.

Being innocent actually suits her better.

If this drama were to have more seasons,

they can get married in the fourth season.

This isn't Rude Miss Young-ae.

How many seasons do you want to have?

All right.

How about this couple
who just started dating?

- Marry you?
- Yes.

- Is that a proposal?
- Yes.

Gosh, this is so exciting.

But why are you doing it here?

I thought it was meaningful this way.

Well, okay.
I'll give you a pass for the location.

It's a bit too early
to get a proposal from you.

I'll do it anyway, so I just did it now.

You have that much confidence in me?

No. It's because I don't
that I wanted to do it early.

Are you trying to chain me on papers
as soon as you can?

No. I want to be chained to you.

I'm so happy whenever I listen to you.

Okay, then. When should we get married?

Well, let's tell our parents first.

Gosh, you're so old-fashioned.
Why invite our parents to the wedding?

- What?
- It'll be just us.

Small weddings are popular now.

But a wedding without our parents
would be too small.

Let's do it this Sunday.

I don't think we can get a venue by then.

You're so old-fashioned.
Why would we rent a venue?

It's a small wedding.

Let's do it
at the Indian restaurant nearby

while having curry.

I see. Curry.

Well, should we book the restaurant then?

- Enjoy your meal.
- Thank you.

Enjoy your meal. Is that Set A?

- We'll have a happy marriage.
- Thank you.

- Let's go over there.
- Okay. I'm hungry.

- Who are they?
- I don't know.

But by the time
she gets used to the guy's jokes,

wouldn't the table turn?

The girl will like the guy more?

- It's possible.
- Based on what?

That's up to me, the writer.
The table won't turn.

Listen.

This guy seems obedient
and moderately dumb.

But he created his own world of jokes.

And he doesn't cave in
and is always consistent with his jokes.

He doesn't give up. He makes
the other person get used to the jokes.

He's persistent.

Well, it's true.

Besides, you're forgetting something.

He got into this company
because he got good grades.

When he studied, did he stay away
from other desires he had?

No.
He knows how good coffee is after lunch.

He knows how good beer is after work.

Surprisingly, he manages to get all of
that without spending a dime of his own.

On top of that,
he has good relationships with people.

- The girl he's dating is pretty, too.
- Yes.

I created him,
but I didn't know how great he was.

He wasn't being strategic.
He's been living like that his whole life.

Getting used to him means
that she's falling for him.

Later, when things don't go her way,

she'll think it's unfair
because it feels like losing.

She'll be frustrated,
but she can't break up with him.

That's why she'll be anxious.
Something like that?

Something like that.

That does sound fun. Okay.
I'll keep that in mind.

I don't think
if we'll have a chance to do that.

What is it? What's going on?

It gives me a heartache.

This is a feeling I don't dare say I know.

Disgusting.

My back is going to break.
Why is it so hot here?

Will you keep complaining next to me?
Don't do it, then.

I have to do this.

You don't have to do this. Just get out.

Why are you complaining next to me?
You're annoying me.

I didn't ask you to be by my side.

Oh, right.

Then, go over there.

I sat here first.

So you should get up first.

I see. What?

What are you thinking?
That didn't make sense.

Wait, just do it here.

- Why?
- If we do it separately...

it looks too cold.

You and your demands.

Are you interested in me?

No.

Same here.

That's why I'm asking this.

Do you want to go to Africa with me?

Why?

I don't have enough money.

I don't have money, either.

Then, we can't.

Seriously. Wars are the problem.

You're talking to yourself, right?

Isn't that ridiculous?

You start a war

because you want to gain something
by forcing someone against their will.

What's the point of gaining anything
by destroying the future? Crazy jerks.

You know the Korean War, right?

I'm Korean.

Kim Il Sung sent thousands of war orphans

to his allies,
the socialist countries in East Europe.

We can only suppose
they lived happily ever after.

But did they?

Do you think they lived a good life?

No. After the war, they went back.

Do you think it was their idea to send
them back? No, it was North Korea's.

Do you think North Korea brought them back
for a humanitarian purpose after the war?

No.

They were probably dispatched
to reconstruct the country after the war.

No one knows
whether those innocent kids were dragged

to the coal mines or traded abroad.

I hope someone would make
a documentary about that.

THE CHILDREN WHO HAVE GONE TO POLAND

Can't they stay?

"They lived happily ever after here."

Can't we do that?

We don't have to follow the synopsis.

I'll think about it.

I trust you.

This guy is a problem.
What are we going to do with Dong-u?

I'm not sure, either. What should I do?

Whiskey

can be useful.

Today, I had a feeling
whiskey would be better than beer.

Thank you.

Thanks to you, working is fun.

And you comfort me, too.

No one is lucky like me
to have a boss like you.

Same here.

I like working with you because
I feel like I have someone on my side.

Let's work together for a long time.

I will

become stronger

and support you better.

I think I became stronger.

I got a little stronger just now.

You'll collapse soon, then.

It seems

people pretend to be strong
because they want to collapse.

They do it until they think
breaking down a bit wouldn't be

a problem.

Is that so?

But

I don't have the courage to collapse yet.

Can you do it for me?

Me?

Can you just tell me the truth?

Don't you have anything to tell me?

- Do you think you can handle it?
- Yes.

Then,

starting now,

I'll be possessed by someone in your past.

All right. I'm ready.

What do you want to hear from me?

How you really feel.

Chu Jae-hun.

You loved me.

No, to be precise, you used your love

and tried to force me
into your idea of love.

When I didn't behave as you expected,

you criticized me.

You abandoned me to tame me.

You weren't trying to love me.

You tried to possess me.

Stop it!

- Get out.
- You

didn't want to accommodate me.

- Everything is my fault.
- To fit me into your idea of love,

you used my foolishness against me,

controlled my feelings however you wanted,

and made endless demands.

When I didn't meet your demands,

you criticized me.

You abandoned me.

Did

you

love me?

I didn't even fully understand the cause.

And yet, it's pathetic
how I'm struggling like this.

No one can fully understand themselves.

People who believe
that they fully understand themselves

will get hurt even more in the end.

Did you know this?

This was probably painful for you.

But when I observed you in pain,

it made me want to date again.

Isn't that weird?

it's such a foolish act.

But I like

that.

It will be hard to get people
to sympathize with this couple.

Receiving deep sympathy and support

from a small group of people
is still a nice thing.

But when they think back
and feel more embarrassed about it,

they won't show their support.

They'll hide it.

But why aren't you stopping me?

I'm working hard to write this story.

Because it's meaningful.

It might make some people
cry their eyes out.

Let's not get scared and just go for it.

Shall we?

Okay. Let's do that.

Gosh, I worked so much today.

We're just getting started.

Then,

shall we really start working?

Shall we?

THINGS WILL BE FINE ONCE YOU TURN THIRTY

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Hello. I'm Cheon I-seul.
I'll be playing the lead role.

I'm Kim Seong-je
for the role of Gyeong-jae.

I'm Kim Seon-jae
for the role of Kim Pan-su.

I'm Jeong Jae-ho for the role of Dong-u.

I'm Lee So-min for the role of Sin-ae.
I hope we can work well together.

It's a bit scary to see the people

who have been torturing me
alive and well in front of me.

But you all seem very cool.

I'll do my best in order not to
hinder your coolness.

Thank you.

WRITER LIM JIN-JOO

I'm sure this is a very valuable period
of time in your life.

I would like
to sincerely express my gratitude

for everyone in this room for sparing
that valuable time with our project.

I hope we can be a good person
to one another.

Thank you.

"Have you been well?"

"You haven't changed."

- "Where are you going?"
- "To the restroom."

- "No!"
- "Why not?"

"It's okay. I already know what happened."

"I'm a woman, too!"

"This is kind of awkward for me. But hey,

are you sure this is going to be enough?"

DIRECTOR SON BEOM-SU
WRITER LIM JIN-JOO

The starting point.

It's the point
where the end seems the farthest.

It's the hardest to predict the result
at this point.

We met countless staff members,
actors, and actresses.

And countless ideas of our values collide.

In hundreds of situations
and through hundreds of emotions,

our interpretations
can't always be the same.

Let's do this.

To solve a problem
without a definite answer,

we'll discuss

and find our answer.

We'll get started now!

A start.

By nature, starting means
to race towards the end.

But we don't say that it ended,
We say we completed it.

Good job.

Good work.

This monitor isn't working!

Please check on it now.

It means that we will not put any weight
whether it's a success or a failure

A start is meaningful when it's completed.

For now, I'll just enjoy
the excitement that beginnings give.

Of course,
unwanted major and minor problems

are bound to rise up, right?

All right. Let's try one more time.

- We'll try again.
- Get ready.

Ms. Lim, the TV ratings mean nothing.

No one checks
the household TV ratings these days.

There's nothing to worry about.
We're only at our first two episodes now.

You know people are talking
about our drama, right?

Don't you worry.

Mr. Son.

Your voice is shaking right now.

Are you crying?

What are you talking about? Goodness.

It doesn't sound like
you're still in this world.

That's not true.

It doesn't matter where...

No. Ms. Lim.

Don't worry about the TV ratings.

Mr. Son.

Don't think about anything else.
Just go home and get some sleep today.

You've been filming the whole day.

You're doing a fantastic job. Don't worry.

Just keep doing what you've been doing
so far. And have faith in me for the rest.

You said dramas were all about the story.

I'll write a jaw-droppingly crazy story.

Have faith in me.

- Okay?
- Thank you.

I'll go home and call you again. Okay.

I thought the drama was pretty good.

Why aren't people watching it?

Hey, let's grab a beer before we go home.

Our TV ratings are at one percent.

How could you look at me
as if you're on a reward vacation.

- Are you in another drama?
- No.

A staff member like you

watches Show Me the Money Friday night
instead of watching our drama.

You jerk.

If I don't watch it, it's impossible
to talk to people the next day.

- You're heartless.
- You know nothing about hip hop.

However, by word of mouth,
people began to take interest in our show.

- And our drama got more buzz.
- It was really fun.

As our drama began
to garner more attention,

I was tortured by mean comments, too.

Who the heck are you?
How dare you call me trash?

I lived diligently.

You only see what you want to see.
You're trying

to find faults to pick a fight with me.

You're not a human being.
How dare you criticize me?

Why do you only read hateful comments?

This is hard.

I worked so hard to get to where I am now.

Look what I'm facing now.

That's what that hater wants you to do.

Get up now.

Hey, this is a murder.

Fingers shouldn't be used as spears.

What's the National Assembly doing?
They must round up people like that hater.

Wait.

Can this jerk be an assemblyman?

I should read this again.

When people review dramas,
they might criticize your work.

And you should be humble and accept it,

but hateful comments are different.

You must filter them out.

It's not like hateful comments
aren't categorized with a warning color.

How can I filter them out?

You should just forget about them
and not be affected by them.

People are saying mean things online
because they are lonely.

If people murder other people
because they are lonely,

they are not human beings. They are Satan.

Aren't you glad that there are more good
people in the world than bad ones?

You know, it's natural
that good people are bound

to work harder in this world.

It might feel like
it's a huge disadvantage on our part,

but we can't let
the bad people rule the world.

In that sense,
we are protecting the world.

I thought the Avengers
were protecting the world.

I'm feeling sad
now that I'm reminded of Iron Man.

Anyway, our drama is rated PG-15. Right?

I'll bet my right wrist
and your entire savings

that the haters
are all under 15 years old.

Why are you betting my money?

You need to write,
so I'll provide the wrist.

I heard the real estate market
will do well next year.

So we'll use your money.

You're crafty in a situation like this?

I'm being rational.

I don't think I made a romantic joke.

You're being generous.

I like that about you.

I like your lame jokes
while taking a walk.

You're sexy when you talk casually.

Don't get so worked up. I don't like that.

Just stay like this at this pace

and be with me forever.

You're getting me excited.
I need to cool down.

Come here. It's nice and cool today.
It's okay.

No, I shouldn't. I'm feeling very hot.

Come here. I don't want
to stay away from you right now.

Good occasions are
always accompanied by misery.

Luckily, we knew

that this small gesture we make
to comfort each other

is the biggest weapon we have
when facing a crisis.

1 YEAR LATER

A WOMAN, AN ACTRESS

What are you doing with your documentary?

That's what I'd like to ask you.
You helped So-min hit fame.

You filmed her and her former manager
as a couple.

That was the key point.

Who knew that she would get married
as soon as she hit her second prime?

So-min is quite the businesswoman.

Gosh, I'm an artist.

I ended up filming
a matchmaking documentary.

That's the purest form of art.

Anyway, let's go.

Screenwriter for a hit drama
and director for a hit documentary.

Let's go.

Thank you.

It's getting hot again.

Right. I like the bingsu here.

You should have it. It's on the house.

No.

You should.
We're closing the cafe after this month.

We managed to keep afloat.

But it's hard.

Okay, I'll have a bingsu.

Okay. Please wait.

This cafe will close down.

They ran for a long time.

- Have a safe trip.
- Okay.

I'll meet them, film them,

and come back with a tanned face.

That's cool.
I'm sure you'll do a great job.

You'll look pretty tanned.
It will be a long trip.

Are you disappointed?

Your happiness is all I want.

When you come back,

this cafe will be gone.

I'll be gone, too.

Are you disappointed?

Do you know

why the universe is immeasurably big?

Why?

Everyone has a place in this universe.

Since we can't stay forever on earth,

when the time comes,

we're moved to that place.

Let's meet there.

You and I.

Please let In-guk stay for a few days

in Jeju Island during summer his break.

Okay.

What? What is it?

Why do you keep showing off your house?
What do you want?

This is the apartment

I used to live in.

Well, I just need a small studio
to stay for a few days

when I have work in Seoul.

I want to give this to you.

When will you be able

to buy a house with your salary
while raising a boy?

You knew this all along
and didn't do anything about it until now?

You're right. Anyway,

I don't want to brag
about giving you the apartment.

Don't think about it.

Of course, I'll take it.
Why would I think about that?

You know what? You can brag about it
given the apartment you're giving me.

Okay.

- I guess.
- Is that all?

Yes.

I'll get going.

Seung-hyo.

What about the transfer tax?

The transfer tax?

What are you looking at?

Of course,

I should cover it.

- Thank you.
- It's settled, then.

- Bye.
- Yes. Bye.

Thirty.

If you use your age as an excuse,

you will be criticized
because you're a grown-up now.

If you intimidate someone with your age,

people will easily mock you
and laugh at you.

It's an odd age.

Now that we have passed that age,

we were about to become truly independent.

This is kind of spacious.

You will have to live
and work here, Ms. Lim.

Our company wanted to get you a penthouse
if we could.

- Then, do it.
- Just appreciate the thought for now.

Right. She signed to write two dramas
with the company.

How long do you have to stay here?

Is this a prison cell?

I hope this will be a clean
and peaceful prison cell.

It feels nice and soft,
but sticky at the same time.

That's life.

But this is nice.

Ms. Lim.

Ms. Lim who hit it big
with her debut drama.

- Were you being sarcastic just now?
- Are you being grumpy?

"You're being too proud
because you made a hit with your debut."

Aren't you trying to use my success
that has nothing to do

with the script
as a tool to criticize and attack me?

Attack you? Why would I do that?
We're on the same side.

As a director,

I'm suggesting the right path
for the drama to take.

If you want me to take your suggestion,

don't get sidetracked from the topic.

Why do you take such a petty approach
like using sarcasm

in order to claim
that you're better than me?

Petty? You're the one
who's not listening to me

and choosing negative words on purpose

to use them as your weapon. What about
your approach? Isn't that evil?

Evil? You should keep your manners.

Can you call me petty
if you kept your manners?

How come you expect me
to listen to you all the time?

Gosh, this is not fair.

That's what I would like to tell you.

You have a new work studio.

Why do we always come to this cafe?

Did I choose this place?
Why are you taking it out on me?

- It's six o'clock.
- Let's go home.

- Let's talk tomorrow.
- Okay.

I'm off now.

How was your day today?

That jerk, your director,
gave you a hard time, right?

Yes. Don't even start. He's so stubborn.

He needs to get royally screwed some time.

How was your day?

I had the script meeting
the whole day today,

but that writer
isn't listening to me at all.

She needs to hit rock bottom

without her second drama.

- Stop it.
- I won't do it.

- You stop it.
- I won't start. You stop it.

- Stop it.
- Stop it. I said I wouldn't.

Cool down. Cool it.

Aren't you hungry?

What do you want to eat?

Let's go to a good restaurant.

I came up with a list of restaurants.

Good job.

Anyway,

I like you.

He's very eager.

- I guess I make him that way.
- Han-ju!

It's my fault.

Go and keep making it your fault.

Bye.

I said you didn't have
to come and pick me up.

You never listen.

I said I won't listen to that.
You never listen, do you?

Bye.

That's dried smelt.
I doubt you could get that in Europe.

I never said that I liked this.

It doesn't matter if you like it or not.

I just wanted to give it to you.

Come to think of it,

you kind of look like a smelt.

I have nothing to give you.

I'm sure there are less stuff
in Africa than in Europe.

Well, you'll be back
after a few months, too.

Let's...

just talk.

- About what?
- You know,

things we never talked about.

Our stories.

It's a line from Casablanca.

It was translated super dope in Korean.

"Whatever you see through your eyes.

Cheers

to

your eyes."

Get it off me.

Let's meet in Morocco.

Before I go to Rwanda,

let's experience Casablanca.

Let's think about it.

ART CENTER

Are you here to watch a musical?

- Yes.
- I see.

Funny running into you here.

I know. Did you come with your friend?

I came here alone. What about you?

Same here.

I didn't know you liked musicals.

I watched a few. It was nice.

I see.

Where are you sitting?

Here.

It's far from mine.

Okay. Enjoy the show.

Okay.

Ha-yun.

- Yes?
- What are you doing after this?

Nothing.

Do you want to have a beer?

Okay.

Okay. Let's meet out front after the show.

Okay.

In-guk, I told you to eat!

I'll eat when I get hungry.

Just let me have fun when I'm playing.

Goodness.

That little brat.

Kids like him might listen to you better
during adolescence.

Let's not put our hope
on a slim possibility.

When he grows up,
it's bound to get physical, too.

Yes. Let's exercise,

so we can control him
with all of our strength combined.

When will we meet up again?

- Go.
- Okay.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

I said you don't have to. The airport bus
stops in front of the house.

Be quiet before I stop you from leaving.

Gosh, Hyo-bong. You've gotten
all manly now that you live with Mun-su.

You newlyweds must be excited.

I take that back. I'd been one before.
It wasn't so good.

Bye.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I thought about it.

I think we are at an awesome age.

We're at an age where starting
something new wouldn't be so weird,

and we're more experienced than most.

At our age, we're the quickest
among people who consider starting

something new to be odd.

All of a sudden, I feel full of life.

So we were young and smart.

But I don't want to be smart

when I'm with you guys.

It's fun to chitchat
when people aren't so smart.

I'm going to talk to you guys
until the day I die.

To improve the quality
of our conversations.

don't do foolish things on purpose.

Don't be arrogant because you're smart.

Don't think you're really young
because we are considered young.

In my opinion,
here's the most important thing.

Focusing all of your energy
on the crisis you have now

Is the only way not to worsen
the crisis you have.

Don't bring up ramyeon.

Eun-jeong always tackles
this big crisis with food.

Let's follow her example.

You're the one who started this!
It was you.

Right.
Stay away from the terrorist attacks.

How can I stay away from it?

Watch out for handsome guys.

Why should I?

- Don't go where there are civil wars.
- I'm going to Europe.

I know you're going to Africa
after going to Europe.

Right. What was that?
Stay away from Nalaria.

- Malaria.
- Stay away from that.

- This is it.
- Yes. This is it.

My mouth is already watering.

- Let's dig in.
- Dig in. Start with the broth.

No, I'll eat the noodles first.

- Okay. Let's eat.
- Let's just eat.

As always, we had fun
talking to each other today,

enjoyed our food together,

and are happily in love.

This is it.

- Ramyeon at night
- This is so good.

will never be healthy.

Even if so,

we are happy that we have enough time

to recover from this.

We compliment ourselves
for recognizing our ability to do so.

First, enjoy it and slurp it up.

I mean,

there's nothing wrong with that, is there?

SPECIAL THANKS TO JUNG SO-MIN

WE HAVE FUN TALKING TO EACH OTHER,
ENJOY OUR FOOD TOGETHER,

AND ARE HAPPILY IN LOVE

AS WE ROOT FOR OUR PRESENT
WE SAY GOODBYE
