[Episode 1]

More beer, please.

Right away! Here's another round.

[My Husband]

Yeah, Yeah.

Me? Right now?

I'm still at the Hannam Bridge.

Wow, it sounds like a party over there!

Not even.

You were at the bridge 30 minutes ago.

Girl, how can you not be here for my birthday?

I'm almost there...

- We'll order now. - I'll see you in a bit.

- We're ready to order. - Coming!

Don't you think that girl is pretty?

Here's your beer and popcorn.

What's this? Who asked for popcorn?

Where's our food?

Goodness, sir!

Our chef's putting extra attention into your order,

so it must be taking longer than usual.

I'll go and nudge him a bit.

Excuse me.

Wasn't that pretty part-time worker over there

supposed to serve our table?

What?

- Would you like this? - Just give me anything.

I understand.

Oh right...

I guess I'm the inferior server when it comes to visuals.

I'll tell my friend over there to bring you your order,

so don't you worry!

Are you enjoying the birthday party I've thrown for you?

I guess.

Thank you.

Ha-ri, tada!

My gift to you.

Brand new, directly from Paris...

Here, here! Wife! Wife!

Hye-jin!

Here, here!

Wow, look at that!

Hey Ha-ri, you have friends like that?

Like that?

They say birds of a feather flock together,

but this is ridiculous. Look at how she looks...

What are you trying to say?

What gives you the right to say that?

Hey do you even know my friend Hye-jin?

Do you?

Hey, Min Ha-ri. About this necklace I got for you...

Why don't you keep your necklace?

And I don't want to see you ever again.

My wife, come here!

I want her.

What took you so long?

Sorry, sorry!

This is for you.

What's this?

Hey, why is it so flashy here?

I don't think I'm dressed for the occasion.

You can dress however you want.

Thanks for coming!

You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go.

I'm in the mood for something good...

This is supposed to be your party.

You go and play, and I'll get my own food.

Go on.

Go, go, go...

Go, go.

[Student loan payment due on the 5th: $218.54]

Everyone here seems so carefree.

They say that food brings ghosts back to life,

and I can scale mountains on a full stomach.

I've got to eat!

Ha-ri...

Ha-ri!

Ha-ri!

Ha-ri!

Hey, Ha-ri! Ha-ri!

One day, a thought crossed my mind.

I wondered if lead characters only exist in movies and dramas.

Be careful.

Slow down!

I know how to swim!

Like the rejected popcorn at the bar,

maybe lead and supporting characters also exist in reality.

I'll probably end up as a friend,

three degrees from the lead role.

No, I may simply be an extra that doesn't even deserve the spotlight.

What's that sound? Did she fart?

Why is she soaked like that?

Did you sleep well?

You're up early.

I'm first!

Why did you leave without saying good bye last night?

They needed my help at the bar, so they texted me an SOS.

I don't know why I'm so good at what I do!

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

It drowned.

I'll need to get it fixed later today.

Did you drop it in the toilet?

How many times have you done that?

So clumsy.

Well, that's me.

Let's eat.

Build the Dabotap, why don't you?

I have an interview later today.

I'll only be confident on a full stomach.

You haven't heard back from any previous interviews?

I have.

My only wish is to work late for someone somewhere.

Why won't they hire me?

I hope every company that rejected me goes bankrupt!

No, scratch that.

My mom told me to beware of karma.

Are you done with your speech yet?

Oh, no. I'm late!

Which floor are you heading to?

- Second floor. - Second floor?

Second floor?

- Either of you... - Aren't you getting off?

Either one of you should get off.

I thought I got on first...

Maybe not?

I'm going to be late!

Excuse me.

Get on.

[The 2015 Jinsung Magazine Internship]

Number 190, Miss Kim Hye-jin?

Yes.

Where is Youngmin University?

It's in an area outside of the city.

It's not very well-known, but it's a school with a vision!

And the campus is really beautiful.

I see you have some work experience.

Yes.

But why are all of your past employments under three months?

One place, the company went belly up.

And in another, the president was arrested without a warrant...

Given the opportunity, I'll take on the mentality of a worker ant

in order to become a fulltime employee of Jinsung Magazine!

This hand I'm dealt will hold~

What's this?

What the...

What now? Is it raining?

I hate rain!

Here I go!

Great! Frizzier hair.

Why did it have to rain...

Why, that girl...

What a scene!

What are you doing in front of the entire neighborhood?

My backbone...

What did I do?

Who's that guy? Is he your new boyfriend?

No.

I'm thinking about whether or not I should see him.

If you're not going out with him, why are you kissing him?

I'll have to know if he's a good kisser in order to decide!

Come on, we're going to the market.

I'm out of tissue.

I wish I could borrow your body and face for my interviews.

I would nail every one of them.

If I could do that,

I would've let you borrow it over a hundred times.

So when did you switch boyfriends again?

Do any of those guys around you make your heart beat faster?

Why does it have to?

If he's nice, I'll try and meet him.

You make it sound so easy.

Then did you ever find true love among any of those guys?

True love?

What's that?

You miss him when he's not around, and you're happy when you're with him.

You do things you'd normally never do,

and you see him wherever you go.

Something like that?

True love or what not is all just a myth.

Mister, Mister.

What do you think you're doing?

I was wondering how much this is.

I'm not going to explain everything,

but just like squeezing out olive oil,

all men are the same, is what I'm saying.

There's no need to stress about it.

What's the value of true love?

If it exists, how much would it cost?

What?

That'll be $47.

Stop being so old-fashioned.

You should start dating again.

Thank you.

Dating is a waste of money.

And no one is interested in me, anyways.

I'm going to work on my resume.

So much spam mail. I don't want a steamy night.

Spam these days look like real emails.

Wait.

Ji Sung-joon?

Ji Sung-joon would be...

Can it be that Ji Sung-joon?

[It's been awhile. Do you remember me?]

[I'll be back in Korea soon]

[If you have time, let's meet up]

Is it really him?

Why?

Who's Ji Sung-joon?

You know. Why don't you remember?

When your father relocated to the office in Japan,

the guy who moved into your old house.

Oh.

That fat kid?

Stop right there, fat boy!

What are you doing in my house?

No, I...

Dad!

Who's that fatty?

He looks like a loser.

Is he the neighborhood idiot?

When I saw him at the house, I thought he was just a loser.

I was so surprised when I heard

that the two of you had become friends.

But why's the fatty contacting you now?

He wants to meet up.

So innocent Sung-joon is coming back...

Time to go!

Wifey!

Oh you're meeting the fatty today?

Did you talk to Fatty on the phone yet?

No, only by email.

He's going to call me when he arrives.

Hey do you think there's a public phone there?

Public phone?

Oh your phone's in the shop, isn't it?

Just take my phone instead.

You'll be uncomfortable without a phone.

I'm tired of all of these guys calling me, anyways.

I want to smack you, but I can't because it's true.

But why are you meeting that fatty?

I don't think it'll benefit you in any way.

We were really close friends.

And he was kind of like my first love.

Gosh...

I didn't know that your standards were so low.

So low, that you've buried them underground!

Keep making fun of me.

Say whatever you like, but he and I share a special relationship.

I wonder how much he's changed!

Stop it, I'm going to crash.

Thank you, thank you!

- What? - Come here.

- What are you doing? - Hold still.

After all, he's your first love.

You look much better.

This work is Renoir's Dance in the Country.

In the painting, the main character is Renoir's friend,

Paul Lhote and his wife to be...

Maybe those two are not the main characters of the painting?

I mean, based on the perspective, the lead can always change.

I'm sorry for interrupting your lesson.

How do you do? I'm assigned to cover this exhibit.

The Most Korea's handsome picture editor, Kim Shin-hyuk.

Sung-joon, it's Hae-jin.

I've arrived.

Call me at this number when you get here.

Five minutes left!

Sung-joon. It's you, right?

It's been so long!

You... You haven't changed at all!

Who are you?

You're not Sung-joon... Sir?

No, I'm not!

I'm so sorry. Sorry.

Ma'am, why are you so strong?

Look, I'm not old enough to be called a ma'am.

Whatever...

What the...

Hello?

Hye-jin, this is Sung-joon.

Yeah, Sung-joon.

Where are you now?

I'm near the fountain.

The fountain?

I'm near the fountain, too.

I think I've found you.

Really?

I don't see you anywhere.

Don't you see me?

Here.

No way...

Kim Hye-jin.

Wait.

In the confusion of trying to make ends meet all the time,

I had forgotten one important fact!

It's the image he has of me, it must be at least...

Sit down next to the friend you want to get to know.

Or maybe this...

First prize goes to...

Kim Hye-jin from fifth grade, class three.

Or maybe something like this?

Fatty, fat boy!

Hey, stop making fun of Sung-joon!

That's the very least he would expect from me!

Are you Hye-jin...

No, I'm not.

I'm so sorry.

Hye-jin, where are you...

Wasn't that pretty part-time worker over there

supposed to serve our table?

Where is Youngmin University?

Kim Hye-jin, you're rejected.

- Rejected. - Rejection.

You've been rejected.

Our home used to have a lot of money,

but my father lost his business after Sung-joon moved away.

And I used to be pretty like my mom,

but after hiding deep inside my genome,

my dad's traits began to emerge in late adolescence,

and my looks changed over time.

Huh? Kim Hye-jin.

Why are you back already? Didn't you meet Fatty?

About that...

Let's just go home, Ha-ri.

If he ended up turning into a hottie,

you should definitely go after him.

Why would you run away?

He didn't even imagine that I'd turn out like this.

I was right in front of him, and he couldn't recognize me.

There's no more trace of the pretty Kim Hye-jin that he used to know.

I didn't want him to see me this shabby.

I got scared.

That's why I ran away.

I was eager to see him again,

but I was too naive.

Hey there's nothing wrong with you!

Girl, you're a good catch!

Just meet him.

If he asks me what I do,

do I tell him I'm unemployed at 30?

If he says he couldn't recognize me,

do I apologize to him?

Hey...

I want to preserve the memory of my first love.

If I don't meet him,

he'll keep those great memories of me.

Kim Hye-jin.

You're being ridiculous.

And you're talking like an idiot.

Go and meet him now!

He's a nice guy, so he'll seem glad to see me.

But I bet he'll feel uncomfortable inside.

She's gone.

The girl that I once loved is gone.

That's what he'll think.

Hey, come on...

I wish I could borrow your body and face for today.

Wait, Ha-ri...

I've just thought of something,

and I think you can help me.

Sung-joon.

Kim Hye-jin?

You're Hye-jin!

Sorry I'm late.

It's been a while.

Have you been well?

Hye-jin.

I've missed you, Kim Hye-jin.

Hey, kid!

Did you move here?

My best friend Ha-ri used to live here.

I'm in the fifth grade, what about you?

Third grade, fourth grade?

Hey, kid!

Will everyone welcome our new student?

His name's Ji Sung-joon, and he just transferred here.

Hey, kid! You're not a kid?

She called him a kid!

That's not a kid, it's a fatty!

My mom asked me to give this to you.

And sorry, I thought you were younger than me.

You should've told me that you weren't.

Are you working on a puzzle?

I saw that painting in an art book!

There's someone here in the corner.

You found her.

That girl is hiding.

Hiding?

She really does look like she's hiding.

I wonder what she's looking at?

Maybe she wants to dance on the stage, too?

In my opinion, she's watching the man...

because she secretly likes him.

That could be true, too.

She's hidden, so it's kind of like a picture puzzle.

A picture puzzle?

Look.

You couldn't find her unless you were really searching for her.

Like a picture puzzle.

You're right.

It really is like a picture puzzle.

I don't want to disappoint as your first love.

I refuse to end up like a piece of popcorn in front of my first love.

So eventually, I watched him as I hid from his surroundings.

Don't make any mistakes and do as we planned.

Here is our menu.

Should we go ahead and order?

Okay.

Would you like to place an order?

Miss?

Miss.

What?

Would you like to place an order?

Give me this, this one.

The grilled shrimp and caviar with the filet minion steak,

coming right up.

Okay.

No!

Forget the filet minion steak and give me a cup of coffee.

Sure.

I don't know what to ask you first.

I have so many questions.

What about work?

What kind of work do you do?

When he asks you what you do, tell him this.

I'm still studying.

I think I was meant to study.

So you're still in school?

What about you?

I'm involved in art directing.

I have no idea what that is.

Oh, I see.

Are your parents doing well?

Of course.

My mom and dad are doing...

Well...

They're both doing well.

Are you okay?

Are your parents doing well, too?

My father is in Seattle, and I was in New York for work.

I don't see him often, but he's doing well as always.

What about your mother?

Huh?

His mother passed away.

Oh, your father...

I though he might've remarried...

Oh, okay.

Yeah, he did remarry.

It's been about 7 years now.

I had a feeling that he did, which is why I'm asking...

But why did you decide to contact me all of a sudden?

I was cleaning up my place before I came back to Korea,

and I found a box.

I didn't know I still had them,

but I found the letters that you used to write me.

It reminded me of our childhood,

and I wanted to reunite with you.

I see.

Why did you stop contacting me back then?

If he asks why I stopped contacting him, tell him this.

After you left the country, we also left... to Japan.

But then I lost your address.

I was curious about you, too.

It's nice to finally meet you again.

And so the mystery is solved...

My letters kept being returned to me, so I was wondering what happened.

I see.

Do you remember the puzzle back then? It was in the box, too.

Puzzle?

Puzzle...

Are you alright?

Oh, the hidden girl.

You remember?

I had forgotten that I had it,

but then remembered that we used to put it together.

I felt thankful.

Until I met you, I was always alone.

But I realized something when you became my friend.

That even if you have just one friend in the world,

you won't be lonely.

That life could be fun.

I was glad I had such a great friend like you, Hye-jin.

Then I became thankful, and I started to miss you.

So I started looking for you.

Now that I'm here,

I think I've made the right choice.

Hiding from him was the right thing to do.

Where do you live, I'll drop you off.

It's okay. I drove here, too.

Really?

Then I guess we'll part ways for today.

Sung-joon.

I have something to tell you.

To preserve our precious memories

and bring this night to a beautiful end,

tell him this.

I'm going overseas for school.

What?

I regret having to tell you this on our reunion,

but I've been preparing to go overseas.

Oh, you've been planning this?

Where are you going?

What?

[Great Britain's Magician of Light]

To Great Britain.

Great Britain.

When are you leaving?

- Tomorrow. - Tomorrow?

Yeahh, tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

What am I going to do now?

It feels too early to part ways like this.

We'll contact each other again.

Okay.

I go to London a couple times a year for work,

so I guess I'll see you then.

Good luck there.

And keep in touch.

Okay. I had fun today.

I'll be leaving now.

Wait, Hye-jin.

Huh?

Can you wait here for just five minutes?

Five minutes?

Yeah, exactly five minutes.

I'll be back before then.

Wait, where are you going?

Welcome.

Yes, hello.

Safe.

I made it back in time.

Where did you go?

I wanted to get you a parting gift.

It'll be useful in London.

Use this to avoid the thing you hate.

Yeah, thanks.

Good luck and keep in touch.

Yeahh, it was nice to see you again as well.

Goodbye.

Have a good trip.

How can a person change so much?

Only a transformer could make such a drastic change.

He gave you this gift.

He mentioned something about avoiding something you hate...

Something I hate?

It's only an umbrella.

I thought it was something special.

My beer's empty.

Stay here, I'll get one for you.

What's with her?

You're asleep?

Don't forget to take your make up off before you sleep.

Ha-ri, Min Ha-ri!

You must be tired from acting.

I'm sorry I'm such a useless friend.

[Ji Sung-joon: I miss you, Hye-jin!]

[Ji Sung-joon: I got your letter~]

[Ji Sung-joon: When should we meet?]

[Delete all checked items?]

Hey, it's dangerous. Sit down, kid!

The door...

Mister, open this door!

Please open this door! Mister, please!

Open this door!

Mister, open this door.

Please! Mister, open this door.

Please? Mister, open this door for me!

Open the door...

Mom, Mom...

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of the rain.

Mom, I'm afraid of the rain!

Sung-joon, what's wrong?

- Are you okay? - Mom, the rain...

I'm afraid of the rain.

Let's go.

I'm afraid of the rain.

Mom, the rain...

My mom, she...

I'm afraid of the rain!

I'm here with you now.

I'll be your umbrella.

You hold onto the hidden girl.

A puzzle isn't complete without all of the pieces.

We'll meet again someday and complete the puzzle.

Okay.

Bye, Sung-joon.

[Delete all checked items?]

[All items have been deleted]

Goodbye, my first love.

What's the matter?

What? Why, why, why?

Sometimes, reality hits us like a ton of bricks.

Ha-ri, what am I going to do?

Why, what's the matter?

Sometimes, you never get your way,

And other times, things just work themselves out.

Cheers!

- Congratulations, Kim Hye-jin! - I love you, Min Ha-ri!

Min Ha-ri!

I did it!

Employee, employee, employee!

[Employee]

Kim Hye-jin, it's been a long road.

I have a feeling that good things are in store...

Things may not always go my way,

but it'll only help me grow stronger.

It's time to forget about the past

and start a brand new chapter in Kim Hye-jin's life!

Onward!

Onward I go!

What a waste...

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

If you're really injured, I'll help you up.

But if you're embarrassed,

I advise that you get up and make a run for it.

Do you want to try and get up?

No.

My front tooth...

I think I've lost my front tooth!

My tooth!

This?

This is just gum.

What?

They're all there...

Why don't you get up?

I'm going to be late!

What a weird woman...

Black loafers with white socks?

Michael Jackson?

Billie Jean~

[Management Support Team]

Now, please introduce yourselves.

I'm Lee Seul-bi.

That's a beautiful name.

It's a pleasure.

How do you do? I'm the new intern, Kim Hye-jin!

I will put my heart and soul into my work here!

That's quite a voice you have there!

This isn't the barracks, so you can lower your voice.

Yes, sir!

Congratulations for getting hired.

Thank you, thank you.

Our job here at management support is

make sure that the company runs smoothly.

As the title infers, we are a core division...

that both manages and supports the company.

Core division...

I hope we can bring you both onboard as full-time employees in three months.

I'll do my very best!

My desk!

Here are your intern badges.

Lee Seul-bi, you're picture came out well.

- Please don't lose this. - Thank you very much!

My work badge!

- Miss Kim Hye-jin? - Yes!

Did you call for me, Chief?

That's why you're here, isn't it?

This is the first job I'm giving you.

A very important job that we are in charge of.

Do you think you can handle it?

You can depend on me for anything!

We have a reception every month...

for all the employees who have birthdays.

We are in charge of providing the refreshments.

About 500 meters away is a place called Woori Market.

They've worked with us for many years.

They give us a 10% discount, so go there.

Thank you very much!

Buy the gift cards that will be given as gifts at the post office.

Oh and can you pay my utility bill while you're there?

Energy conservation campaigns are our responsibility, too.

I want you to put up these posters in every department.

And I trust that you won't use the elevators...

in order to put up these conservation posters.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm back!

I didn't realize my job requires me to run everywhere.

You're completely out of breath!

Are you alright?

I'm fine!

Then get me a cup of water.

Excuse me?

Yes, sir.

Why don't you take that off at home?

Why?

I'm going to sleep with this on!

Oh, right.

Now that I'm getting a salary, I'll pitch in from now on.

Hey, Yoo Kwan-soon.

You've given me my independence.

If it wasn't for you, my dad wouldn't let me live on my own.

So you hold onto this.

I didn't give you independence...

I don't want to be a freeloader.

- Take it. - Forget it!

- Take it. - I said no!

Take it!

Chief, I've completed the excel spreadsheet and sent it to you.

Already?

Miss Hye-jin, you're undoubtedly the best worker here!

That's why I endorsed your hiring!

Chief, you're the one who hired me?

You didn't know?

I made it absolutely clear that I wanted Kim Hye-jin...

as one of my new interns!

Female workers are always texting men.

They take hour long breaks...

And they refuse to work late...

because they want to go and meet men.

Some get married within one year of being hired!

But what about our Miss Hye-jin?

She's perfect!

She doesn't receive any calls from men.

And she's got no dates to look forward to.

I guess...

A lacking resume?

That can be an advantage sometimes!

She'll never think about going to another company!

I'm a great judge of character!

You're right!

Chief, you're the best!

Should I do something else?

Do what?

It's 6 o'clock, so get ready to go home.

Take that box to the Most editing department.

They always request things from us

and never come to get it.

The Most editing department?

I didn't know we had this department!

Yes?

I'm here from the management support team.

Jackpot...

Please approve this layout.

Wow! So this team creates the magazine...

Excuse me...

I'm from the management support team.

The items that were requested...

Just leave it anywhere there.

In three minutes?

Yes.

It's you.

Go down and give this to a courier,

and come back for the document translations.

Ma'am?

It's door number 4444, so don't ring all of the doors.

And if you're going to work for me,

we're going to have to do something about that hair.

This will pay for the courier. I'm headed to the art team.

Wait, why should I...

Why am I doing this?

I've brought the documents with me.

Uh are you from the Most editing team?

- Yes, I am. - Here you go.

Thank you!

What was she saying?

Wait, where have I seen her before?

You're here?

Here.

There are some typos.

This was overlapped with our 20-year anniversary issue,

so they're only focusing on that.

And look out for grammatical errors.

I really need that done.

What?

What kind of editing...

Um, e-excuse me...

Why are you giving me this?

Joon-woo, who is she?

That person?

She's our new proof-reading freelancer.

There are only a few typos, so it won't take you very long.

What?

But I could swear we've met somewhere before.

Are you sure it's your first time here?

- Yes, it is. - Did we meet at a club?

I was wondering why I have to do this...

Did you complete the translations?

What?

Yes, right here.

Thanks again.

Yes.

I'm curious... Why is everyone...

Go to the cafe on the first floor and take coffee to the studio.

The first floor of the building across from here.

Wait...

What's this place about?

Now, we'll take a 10-minute break.

Coffee.

Did the coffee arrive?

The coffee's here!

I'm so sorry.

My apologies. I'm late, aren't I?

I was involved in a car accident on the way here.

Who are you?

What?

I'm the new editing freelancer.

What?

Then who was that frizzy hair?

She completed the translations without any errors.

I had her proof-read my documents, too.

And she did a great job.

What's her identity?

Mister!

What? The Most editing department?

Why am I being reassigned there?

They've requested your transfer.

Ask them for the details,

and come back here in after three months.

What? For three months?

But I'm prepared to grind my bones here at management support.

You can do that when you get back.

Just go.

The Most editing department is the most influential department.

We do whatever they want.

If you do a great job over there,

it'll help you land a full-time position here.

But...

Excuse me.

So you've arrived?

Have a seat over there.

- Over there? - Yes.

I look forward to working with you.

Yes.

She's here.

I know I've seen her somewhere before.

What?

I know I've seen her someplace before.

Yeah, Ha-ri.

What was your text about?

Why were you transferred?

I don't know.

I don't know what's going on.

Bonjourno!

- Have you arrived? - How are you today?

Ciao!

The weather is wonderful outside!

Goodness!

Guess what? An amazing lady just walked in.

Sometimes reality surprises us with something we don't expect.

That's the guy from the elevator!

I hate that guy!

Is he here yet? I thought he's coming today.

That's why you must always be on your toes.

Oh, there he is now.

Something you couldn't prepare for...

Attention!

Allow me to introduce you.

He's an editor who's been transferred from our New York branch.

Hello, Kim Hye-jin?

Hey!

Oh, right!

Michael Jackson!

It's a pleasure to meet you.

As of today, I'm your Chief Editor, Ji Sung-joon.

No one saw this coming.

This was the beginning of our very own picture puzzle.
