What are you doing over there?

The view here is absolutely incredible.

Having some coffee with this view...

would be just perfect.

Da Hee, you want to have coffee with me at a time like this?

Why?

Don't you have any questions for me?

I just don't get it.

Why on earth would Da Hee do that?

You know Assistant Manager Kwak from the PR Team?

A friend of his used to work at the same company as Da Hee.

She also got caught bashing people online back then.

It caused a huge uproar.

I had no idea.

I was saying no one's as tight-lipped as our Da Hee,

and I told her all my secrets.

You think you're the only one, Seung Jae?

Mr. Ko.

Why did she use "Hoppang" for an ID?

Not sliced, garlic, or pizza bread. Why hoppang, of all things?

Is that what you're curious about?

You see, with hoppang, a steamed bun,

you can't know its true flavor with just one bite.

Because the red bean filling is hidden deep inside.

I'm the same way.

If I smile and act all friendly on the outside,

people just assume that's all there is to me.

Like a bunch of fools.

Are you calling those who trusted you a fool right now?

That's just malicious.

"Malicious?"

Then, since it's come to this,

how about I get truly malicious...

and tell you one more lie?

What?

I mean,

it's possible I had my own sob story about why I had no other choice.

For example, I'm a psychopath who can't read people.

Shut it.

Or...

an alien who's here to throw the world into chaos?

- Or if not that... - Still talking, are we?

Or that I was abandoned by my parents.

What?

- Does "sorry" fix everything? - An abandoned kid.

What will a child like that amount to?

Who'd want a kid who wasn't sweet and never smiled?

I was adopted and sent back several times.

As I kept returning to the orphanage,

I slowly started to realize something.

Oh, maybe...

the real me just wasn't good enough.

Who wears those these days?

I hoped things would be different when I grew up, but...

- Seriously. - I know, right?

Excuse me, I think that's my seat.

But it was exactly the same.

An office isn't just a place for work.

You have to know how to get along with people.

Especially a pretty girl like you.

Why are you like this?

That doubt I'd had since I was a child...

- You got that, right? - was confirmed...

when I started work.

- "So it's true." - Yes.

"I shouldn't live as my true self."

From then on,

I lived my life as a Jung Da Hee people would like.

Acting nice, acting sweet, and always smiling.

- But at some point, - Da Hee.

- it started to feel so unfair. - About Mr. Lee...

He told people you two were a thing.

What? That's not true at all.

And you know Ji Min from the Management Support Division?

Isn't she the worst?

- Did you see what she was wearing? - I lived my life wearing a mask...

- She is so tactless. - and hid who I was.

So when I see people living freely, showing their true colors,

it's nauseating, and it makes me angry.

So that's how I coped, by letting off steam in my own way.

(What's wrong with that person from the AE Team?)

It didn't actually solve anything, though.

Besides, secrets don't stay secret for long anyway.

When my cover was blown, I'd just move to a new company,

over and over.

I repeated that same, tedious act.

Then one day, miraculously, I met someone.

Someone just like me.

She was sitting in a transparent chair,

and I was wearing a transparent mask.

The way she tried so desperately to fit in...

was so much like me.

I couldn't get her out of my head.

Da Hae.

But she just wouldn't give me an opening.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

I'd purposely get her Americanos, knowing well she hated them.

Wait a minute.

You did that on purpose?

You knew I didn't like it, and you did that on purpose?

Why?

So I'd have an excuse to apologize and treat you to a meal.

Gosh, you're really messed up, aren't you?

You should have just stayed Ms. Round, a roly-poly, then.

What?

Just like what a roly-poly is meant to do,

you should've rolled around and gotten stuck in a corner.

Why did you suddenly have to take flight?

When you do that,

it makes me want to lash out.

I feel like saying, "You're no better than I am."

"Stop trying so hard and just fall apart with me."

I just get this urge to rattle you.

Fall apart with you? How?

What was I supposed to do? Post nasty comments with you online?

That would've been nice,

but do you think people would've let you get away with it?

All those people who genuinely care about you and love you.

Do you think they'd have stood by and watched you fall apart?

Okay, I get it.

- I get it, okay? So come down... - No.

If I go down now,

I'll have to smile...

and say it was all a misunderstanding...

and lie all over again.

I don't want to do that anymore.

And I have no reason to.

So, this is it.

This is it?

This is it?

- Are you sure? - What are you doing?

Let go of me!

Do you really need me to give you a reason not to die?

If you die on a Friday like today,

Darn it! Let go of me!

people will go to your weekend wake!

What did you just say?

A weekend funeral for your coworkers...

when they have to rest?

Are you out of your mind?

I'd have to get my black clothes dry-cleaned, just for you!

- That hurts! - Exactly!

So don't die and live.

Live and fight through it!

You never know.

Things can change.

You might even find the courage to change things.

A moment like that could come for you too!

(Episode 12: To the Moon)

(Kang Eun Sang)

By the way, Ji Hye, did you check the delivery?

Yes, I checked it first thing when I got in.

But I heard some items were missing.

What?

About that... Just a moment.

If they report missing items,

call the logistics center right away.

- Here's the number. - Okay. I'm sorry.

Ji Hye, what did you do before working here?

I worked part-time while I was job hunting.

Gosh, that must have been tough.

Juggling work and job hunting.

Let's both give it our all.

The handover period is short, so I feel a little rushed myself.

Yes, I'll do my absolute best.

If you look here...

(Annual Leave Request Form, Kim Ji Song, Accounting Team)

(Reason: China trip to research snack trends and market structure)

Yes.

Really.

I mean it.

What? Why am I thinking of that now, of all times?

Ji Song. About those copies we talked about...

(Annual Leave Request Form)

Are you taking time off?

- Are you going somewhere? - To China.

I have to do some field research.

Time off? Are you kidding? We're slammed.

- What? But I... - "But?"

Are you getting back with your foreign boyfriend?

Why? Going to China to get up to something again?

That's not it. I have my own personal reasons...

Exactly!

We're busy right now, so put in your request another time.

Yes, I understand.

So Ji Song didn't get her time off, then?

Yes, she wanted to go to China to learn to make tanghulu herself.

Since she couldn't go, she's decided to practice on her own today.

Wait, but why on earth is she practicing at the office?

Oh, my.

She said she burned a pot at home, and you almost killed her.

Gosh, she completely scraped up the bottom of the pot.

Goodness.

She's best buds with the maintenance guy, you know.

He said it was fine if she cleaned up afterward.

Gosh, she's got a long way to go.

Anyway, where are we going right now?

We're not going far.

We're going to a karaoke bar.

- Karaoke? - Yes.

Oh, what a beautiful day

Even the sun and the moon are on my side

Shining just for me

Oh, come...

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey, we've only sung Dr. Ham's songs for two hours.

Isn't that enough?

We got a perfect score 12 times!

Is that still not enough for you?

It's not enough.

It's not enough.

I need more of Dr. Ham.

Eun Sang, I'm having such a hard time.

I miss Dr. Ham so much.

How do I get through this? What do I do?

Do you...

want me to tell you how to get over it?

Yes.

You have to accept it.

That you can't get over it.

What?

Did you think you could just skip the pain and hardship,

like you're skipping an ad on YouTube?

You have to take it all in, with every fiber of your being.

You must endure that agonizing pain and see it through.

And if you do that, eventually, it might get a little...

Better?

I guess it gets better?

So does it get better or not?

I don't know.

Everyone says it'll get better.

But I'm not so sure.

I've never considered getting better in the first place.

I've never even tried to,

so I'm still just...

living with one foot stuck on the most painful day of my life.

What's that supposed to mean?

That's even more depressing!

Hey.

Fine. Go ahead and cry.

You need something left inside to cry.

Let me know when you're done crying.

I'll brief you on our plan for tomorrow.

A plan for tomorrow?

Why?

What are we doing?

Gosh, what is this piece of junk?

Stop calling it a piece of junk.

This thing cost me a pretty penny.

I think this is way worse than the one we took to Namhae.

Come on! Hey, the GPS works just fine.

Check this out. The sunroof opens too!

Gosh, this is too much. Close it already.

Come on, lighten up.

Isn't this a nice change of pace?

Did you see? Crypto's up again.

Yes. They updated the network, and the price has been skyrocketing.

I'm going to sign the lease for my shop right away.

Hey, did you really do your research on that shop?

I did, okay?

And I really want to quit my job.

I'm so sick of Mr. Song, and Assistant Manager Oh...

- What about Assistant Manager Oh? - What?

You know...

I've just got a lot on my mind.

So I figured this was a good chance...

to get it together and focus on work only.

Right, I believe in you, Ji Song.

You're a grown-up now, after all.

Come on. Of course.

I'm a grown-up, so dinner's on me.

So, where are we going anyway?

I told you I'd show you the real deal...

when it came to country food, didn't I?

A thistle rice set with a view of the countryside.

- You have no idea how good it is. - Thistle?

I wonder if thistle can really cure my sorrow.

What? What's happening? Eun Sang!

- It's raining! Close it! - Close the sunroof!

- What's wrong? Close it! - Okay.

What? Why won't it work?

- Hurry! - Why won't it close?

What? Hey, it's not working!

- Gosh! - Eun Sang!

Eun Sang!

Eun Sang!

What is going on with my hair?

- Help me see! - Eun Sang, your hair!

Get my hair off my face!

What is all this?

I can't see, Ji Song!

Where are we even going?

- Eun Sang. - Eun Sang, get in, quick.

- Goodness. - How's the car?

I guess I can't do long deliveries in this car.

- What do you mean? Deliveries? - What?

The truth is, I bought this car to earn money.

There's the errand center, green juice delivery, or a taxi.

You can do so much with a car.

I can't just sit around idly after quitting my job.

That figures.

You earn all that money just to make even more money.

Good grief. What a mess.

- What? - Eun Sang,

a fire truck's coming.

- What do I do? Should I back up? - Yes.

What?

Oh, no, why aren't we moving?

- Why aren't we moving? - It's not working?

- What are we going to do? - We have a collision up ahead.

Please move your vehicle.

Yes, I'm trying to. Just a moment.

I'm having some trouble with it.

Hurry up!

Eun Sang! Hey. Let's get out and push.

- Yes, go push with her. - Okay, Eun Sang.

Just a second!

- We're so sorry! - Okay.

- One, two, three! - Two, three!

Push! Are you guys pushing?

Are you pushing?

Eun Sang, I don't think this is going to work!

- What do you mean? - What's wrong with this?

What is it?

- Hurry up! - Did a wheel fall off or something?

- We're so sorry! - One, two, three!

Command vehicle en route. Eight kids in the overturned bus.

Eun Sang. I think children were in an accident.

Mom.

A daycare shuttle bus driving on a rainy road...

has crashed into a guardrail on a street in Seoul.

Four people were injured in the crash,

and a five-year-old girl has died.

The child was rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest after the crash,

but she tragically passed away.

- Just go. - Excuse me?

Just strike my car and go.

What are we going to do, Eun Sang?

At 1 p.m. today in Gochon-eup, Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province,

a daycare bus that was on its way to an event...

tragically overturned.

Following the report, firefighters...

were quickly dispatched to the scene and began rescue operations.

Fortunately, all passengers were rescued safely...

and taken to a nearby hospital.

Onboard the vehicle during the crash were eight daycare children...

- Seems no one was seriously hurt. - What a relief.

I almost had a heart attack.

The undercarriage is totally wrecked.

The muffler's badly corroded too.

Nothing here is worth salvaging.

If you keep driving it, it will be trouble on the highway.

So it's better to stop now...

than on the highway, right?

Let's junk it.

- Okay. - What?

Are you serious?

Wait. Didn't you spend a fortune on this?

Are you sure about this?

Of course I am.

Actually, it's better than okay.

Hey, guys.

I'm finally calling it quits.

- What? - What?

Just like that car,

I think it's time for me to stop too.

Just because I made money...

doesn't mean life will only be full of joy, right?

There will still be times of sadness and times of anger.

But what's important is what we choose to focus on...

and the choices we make, don't you think?

And rather than just keep going,

I'm choosing to stop here.

I want to rest now. I think I've earned it.

What are you two going to do?

Ms. Kim Ji Song.

I told you not to take days off, but I see you did it anyway.

Yes.

The Labor Standards Act guarantees employees the right to annual leave.

What, "employees?" "Rights?"

Ms. Kim Ji Song,

what do you know?

You think you're a legal expert?

You think you know the law?

Keep it up.

I may not know the law, but the lawyer I'll hire will.

What?

I've avoided you all this time. Not out of fear, but out of disgust.

But after some thought,

scary or disgusting, I shouldn't be avoiding it anymore.

If something is disgusting,

I should just throw it in the trash.

"Trash?"

"Trash?"

Are you calling me trash right now?

(Letter of resignation)

Oh, my. That was so cool.

Ms. Kim Ji Song.

Are you crazy?

Me? Why do you ask?

You power-trip and deny me the leave I'm entitled to, which is absurd.

You verbally abuse me with nonsense,

and you're always disgustingly touchy.

Aren't you the crazy one, Mr. Song?

Now that I'm quitting,

I won't have to call you Mr. Song anymore.

Mister.

"Mister?"

"Mister?" You've really lost it, haven't you?

Mr. Song!

- Sir, please don't... - That hurts! Let me go!

Hey, who do you think you are?

Are you crazy?

I go easy on you people, and this is what I get. Darn it.

What was that? Why are you interfering?

Ji Song, are you really quitting?

Was that your resignation letter you threw at him?

You defended me without knowing?

I'm fine since I'm quitting, but what about you, Mr. Oh?

Don't worry about me.

And you deserved to be defended.

Why shouldn't you get your days off?

Plus, at the end of last month, you pulled all-nighters by yourself.

And you were also the one who fixed the accounting mistake yourself.

I really hate the thought of you quitting.

But still, Ji Song,

you have every right to do whatever you want.

Look down.

What? Okay.

I'm about to start a business relying only on my gut feeling.

So what am I supposed to do if my gut keeps being so wrong?

What do you mean, your gut was wrong?

I didn't think I'd get butterflies!

Never did I think...

I'd get butterflies for you, Mr. Oh.

But you keep making my heart race, and acting like this...

What am I supposed to do?

(Jung Da Hee)

It's a shame I have to leave so suddenly.

You're just giving us the creeps.

There was a bit of an unfortunate incident,

and I regret leaving without clearing up the misunderstanding.

But being able to work with all of you...

was a true pleasure.

Well then, I'll be taking my leave.

Well, this is awkward.

I thought I gave...

a pretty moving speech back then.

It's amazing how little you've changed.

I wonder...

- what you were expecting. - Gosh.

Here, just take this.

About the snack subscription box...

You're aware there's still room for improvement, right?

You're going to have to work a lot harder.

Darn it.

I've compiled the handover materials into this file for you.

It has everything from A to Z,

so just check here if you get confused.

Okay, thank you.

(3rd floor meeting room, 12th floor hallway)

If you time it right, you can get about ten minutes alone.

No, wait. You can rest for about 20 minutes there.

When you're working hard and feel worn out,

you should go to one of these places and take a break.

I never rested when I was tired,

and I never cried when I was sad,

so it felt like something inside me just broke.

Don't you be like that, Ji Hye. All right?

Take time to cry and rest. Pace yourself.

That's how you last in the long run.

Okay.

Eun Sang.

Come on, why are you all crying...

like it's the end of the world?

Come on, everyone. Chin up.

- Have grit! You must... - Eun Sang...

Don't just live by being tough all the time.

If you ever feel like having a stiff drink,

call me anytime. Got it?

No, really. Please do call.

Eun Sang.

Okay.

- What? - About this promotion,

they backed HR's Team Leader Choi.

No, but they promised I was next.

Mr. Choi has a widowed mother.

He's also got four kids.

And he also went to the same school as Director Kim.

As for you, Mr. Ko,

let's aim for the next one. All right?

This is driving me crazy.

What am I going to tell her?

(Honey, I'm just joking,)

(but what if I quit my job and opened a cafe?)

Should I get into crypto or something?

Oh, gosh.

I'm so baffled and speechless!

What kind of psycho brat throws a resignation letter...

in her superior's face?

And when did I ever even touch her?

If her superior treats her nicely,

she should know how to be grateful.

How dare she be arrogant for someone in her position!

Just because she made some money off crypto,

she thinks she's hot stuff.

Kids these days. They have no darn manners.

But what's with you, just sitting there like that?

Now that Eun Sang is gone,

my future looks bleak and scary.

But you didn't actually touch her, did you?

I barely grazed her.

Hey!

- Goodness! - You are a real jerk, aren't you?

- Are you talking to me? - Yes.

I couldn't stand hearing about crypto...

and about pursuing self-actualization...

while they messed around at work.

But you're a jerk.

I'd do the same thing in her shoes...

with this bad company and an even more terrible superior.

If even I feel this way, can you imagine how they feel?

- No wonder they want to leave. - Hey!

What? You got a problem?

Why should I understand their feelings...

because of a jerk like you?

Why can't I be the grumpy old boss in peace because of you?

Darn it!

Why you little...

Hey, Ko Dae Young. Hey, where are you...

Hey, what's his problem?

- Does he not want to work here? - I guess so?

- Unbelievable. - I wonder why.

I like working here, though.

Only if it weren't for old-school guys like you.

Hey!

Hey!

Do I really have to be here this late on the day I quit?

I'm so sick of this.

What can we do? We had to work late.

All right!

Let's all say a few words before the big moment.

Well, about that...

Can a few words even cover it?

We have it too!

Something to turn this all around.

Our ace in the hole!

I can't bear to watch...

you two collapse.

I won't let that happen to you two!

- Oh, my. - Let's go! To the moon!

- To the moon! - Let's go! To the moon!

Get ready. Let's do this.

(Your buy order has been successfully placed.)

I'm going to be with you guys until the very end.

Then let's go all the way.

- Let's keep going! - Let's keep going!

But if I had to leave one last thought,

I...

I'm free!

Let's do it.

(Enderion, Confirm Sell?)

(Your sell order has been successfully placed.)

Good job, Jung Da Hae.

(Enderion, Confirm Sell?)

(Your sell order has been successfully placed.)

Kang Eun Sang, you've worked hard too!

(Enderion, Confirm Sell?)

(Your sell order has been successfully placed.)

Kim Ji Song, you did great too!

And at this very moment...

Ta-da!

- Student loans paid off! - Gosh, no more debt!

Congratulations!

No, we're the ones who should be thanking you.

We owe it all to you.

What?

For giving me a life...

I never could have imagined or even dared to dream of.

And for pulling me into this grand story.

Thank you for everything, Eun Sang.

Me too.

I'm incredibly grateful, Eun Sang! No, scratch that. I love you.

Me too! I love you, Kang Eun Sang!

You guys. This is so cheesy. Stop.

Hey. Get off me.

Goodness.

- What's that? - Looks like there's a festival.

There's that university nearby, right?

It's perfect.

It's absolutely beautiful.

Everyone!

It's a beautiful night!

Right, I quit my job.

I can sleep in.

In the void,

where the numbers and goals that once filled her life...

used to be,

a moment of mourning found its way in.

It was like she was finally learning how to truly cry.

She cried endlessly.

She cried her heart out.

Da Hae!

Da Hae?

Hey.

Where's Eun Sang?

She left.

What?

(I'll be back after I cry.)

Just how much does she plan on crying?

So, you have no idea where she went?

No.

But...

let's just give her some space.

Let her cry her heart out.

What about you? What happened with that deposit?

You can't get it back?

Well...

I'll just have to chalk it up as an expensive life lesson.

Ji Song had been scammed.

The place Ji Song put a deposit on was a fraudulent listing.

Even though it must have been a devastating blow,

- I can't believe she just left. - Ji Song no longer lets...

one setback keep her down for long.

Look at this.

Are you really okay?

I have to just shake it off.

Plus, I've already got my eye on a new place.

Gosh, our Ji Song is all grown up now.

Are you going right now?

What are you going to do there?

And then there was me.

This is always a good sight.

Well, it would've been nicer with him.

Will you...

marry me?

I miss you.

I miss you.

July 20, 1969.

The historic moment when Apollo 11 made the 1st manned moon landing.

But maybe the real story is what happened after the landing.

(1 year later)

After all, just getting to the moon wasn't the end of the journey.

What path you should take next,

and what direction you're currently facing.

That's what's more important.

But that's something that's hard to figure out on your own.

After all, Apollo 11 was in constant communication with Earth,

which was how it was able to land safely on the moon,

and how the world could see that moment as it happened.

Isn't communication about learning where you're both headed...

and gradually aligning your paths so you can walk forward together?

Here are some more examples...

of why workplace communication matters.

(Diamond Tanghulu)

(Diamond Tanghulu: Sweetness Crystallized)

(Tangerine, 2 dollars Whole Jeju tangerine, 4.5 dollars)

(Kang Eun Sang: Customers in, sales out)

(Jung Da Hae: I guarantee this place is good.)

Ms. Kim, your mango tanghulu is ready.

Thank you.

Seriously, boss, how did you know the shop would do so well?

You just have good instincts?

I've had my moments.

Back then, trusting my instincts was all I really had going for me.

I guess that's why I was so obsessed with it.

I guess you could say it felt like my greatest weapon back then.

- And not anymore? - Gosh, of course not.

Now, I'm my own greatest weapon.

Just you wait.

Tanghulu will be even bigger soon.

And you know why?

Because I'm going to make it happen.

I sure hope so.

The landlord here is giving you a great deal on the rent.

- This is how you'll get rich. - Stop.

I appreciate it.

Mom, here.

I got you something for the season.

This color looks great on you.

You shouldn't have.

Thank you. I'll wear it often.

Right. And also, Ji Song packed these just for you.

It's strawberry and grape tanghulu.

But she runs a business. Is it okay to give freebies?

Thank her for me. I'll enjoy them.

Right. And this is for you, Dad.

For me? What is it?

I look good in any color,

and I like tomato just as much as strawberry or grape.

It's your phone bill.

I see.

Of course. I should pay it.

Excuse me for a second.

Don't be so hard on him.

Like it or not, we live together.

When he's hunched over and moping,

do you have any idea how much that gets on my nerves?

What did I do?

Still, it's not like your father is a complete failure.

Name one thing he's done right.

For one thing, your father...

He has never done drugs.

And he's never murdered anyone.

Gosh, just stop.

Lately,

it looks like he's been studying stocks.

Another one of his useless schemes.

Tell him to get a real job if he wants to support himself.

And you? Is making a living the only reason you work?

Mom, whose side are you on?

I'm not taking sides.

We're all in the same miserable boat.

See you.

What?

Are you leaving already?

Look, I bought ice cream.

- What am I, a kid? - Goodness.

Come on, I even got yours in a cone.

Gosh, you're unbelievable.

He doesn't commit murder. He doesn't do drugs.

And he buys his daughter's ice cream in a cone.

What are you talking about?

You make it impossible not to be a good daughter.

What's this?

Investment money.

What?

Didn't you say there was something you wanted to do?

From what I can tell,

you're just not the type of person to ever find a four-leaf clover.

You were born with terrible luck.

Yet, you have all these ambitions, wanting to do this and that.

But who can blame you for that?

I was the same way.

So, just this once, trust me and take a leap of faith.

Just this one time,

I'll be your good luck.

Da Hae.

But don't get in over your head. Only go as far as you can manage.

Please.

Hey, this time's different. I really did my homework.

I looked through the reports and followed the earnings.

I even watched the CEO interviews.

What's the company's name?

You know.

Mask? Is it Elon Musk?

The one that guy runs.

Mark my words, the age of electric cars is coming.

I'm telling you, this is the one.

Please. Like I'd believe you.

You can laugh all you want, but this is the real deal.

You always say, "This is it."

No, I thought it was real back then, but I really studied this one.

- This one... - You said you studied then too.

Look, when it rains, the ground gets wet.

- So? - It's just like that.

- It's a sure thing. - This is hopeless. Give it back!

- Come on. - I'm serious.

That was a request from Lee Ju Ah from Gwanak-gu.

We just enjoyed the song by Ham Ji Woo.

Now, some of you might already know this,

but he's an artist active in the English-speaking world.

He's been getting quite popular here in Korea lately too.

He did an interview a while back.

It was pretty interesting.

"I don't want to make music to comfort people."

"I just hope people's lives aren't so difficult..."

"or lonely that they'd need to be comforted."

"For people's best, happiest moments,"

"I just want to make music that's like a celebration."

"You think my songs are too mellow?"

"You don't think I won't make much in royalties?"

"Don't worry about it."

"When I had a corporate job, I saved up plenty of bonus money,"

"so it's okay."

"So, everyone, be happy."

"Make sure to be happy."

He's a fun guy, isn't he?

I hear he'll have a show in Korea soon.

I should probably go check it out.

(Jung Da Hee)

Looks like your ex has a concert coming up.

(Mobile ticket)

(Ham Ji Woo, "With You")

My ex?

I said, tuna.

Sashimi? Yes, tuna.

So, in our dressing room, you must have it set up.

That's a requirement to book us.

Yes, but sorry about this time.

Right now, we are already in Korea.

Next time you invite us again,

we would be very thankful.

So, for the detailed schedule, we can touch base nearer the date.

And the performance fee...

Please make sure the event fee is...

clearly stated in the contract in advance.

I would appreciate it if the payment could be completed...

within one week of the performance.

Any additional documents will be sent through the label.

Okay, bye.

How are you suddenly so fluent...

when talking about the performance fee?

Shut it.

Seriously, for a 200-seat theater,

you think it's wise to give up a gig in Manchester?

Why does the venue's size matter? It's the meaning that counts.

No, I mean, the "meaning..."

Let me explain this to you again.

If you two haven't talked in a year,

that means you broke up.

We, as a society, have agreed to call that a breakup.

Oh, come on.

I just came to Korea to perform for a good cause.

I'll get fans here...

and donate the profit. Isn't that great?

You look like you need donations.

How can you wear flip-flops all year?

I'm telling you, my feet hurt.

I can't wear dress shoes.

Right. I'm sure they hurt.

You're probably still hurting. Yes.

Please, just leave it. I can do it myself.

Oh, no, it's okay. This is too heavy for you, Ji Song.

I can handle it.

You must be so busy with work, but you always help me like this.

It's good exercise.

And I kind of enjoy it.

Sorry, we're closed...

Ji Song.

Wei Lin?

What are you doing here?

I came to see you, Ji Song, and to check out your shop.

Kind of like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

"Killing 2 birds with 1 stone?"

Where did you learn a phrase like that?

You're the one who said my Korean wasn't very good.

So I've been studying.

Good for you.

A good-looking foreigner like you who also speaks Korean well?

That's a killer combination.

So cute.

If you have some free time, could you be my tour guide?

- I've been wanting to see Namsan. - A tour guide?

Of course. From Namsan to K-barbecue pork belly,

I'll give you a full-course tour.

I like pork belly too.

Mr. Oh, did you say something?

What? Nothing.

The trash. I said I'm going to take out the trash.

No, it's... I said we'd do it together later.

- Oh, no, it's fine. - Ji Song.

If you're ever having a hard time, you have to call me.

We're close enough for that.

We're friends, after all.

Okay.

Mr. Oh!

I said we should do it together.

No, I'm fine. Why did you come out?

- Let me... - Oh, no, it's okay.

Still,

thank you.

Isn't Wei Lin waiting for you?

He left.

He left?

Couldn't he stay a bit longer? Why was he in such a rush?

He has his own life. I guess he had other plans.

What plans could be more important than seeing you, Ji Song?

And what's this about him having his own life?

Excuse me?

Ji Song. I'm no longer an assistant manager.

I'm a team leader now.

Mr. Song resigned recently,

so I got promoted. I'm Team Leader Oh now.

Really? Why are you only telling me now?

Remember a while ago...

when I couldn't come to the shop for three days?

I was getting a gallstone removed.

I had a big polyp right here.

What? Why didn't you tell me? Are you okay now?

- And there's more. - More?

What else is there?

Of course.

I have a life of my own too.

It's just not that important.

I know this is going to sound ridiculous,

but no matter how much I think about it,

for me,

nothing is more important than you.

I don't even need a private life.

In my life,

there's nothing I want...

to be as devoted to as you.

That's why I...

Darn it.

What is it? What's wrong?

- What? - I just feel so...

- so pathetic. - What?

I know very well that I can't compare to a great guy like Wei Lin.

Yet, here I am making this lame confession...

- to try to win your heart. - A confession?

Wait, if we're already dating, why would we need a confession?

- What? - What?

- What? - What?

Wait. We're date...

We're dating...

Are we dating?

You mean we haven't been?

- What? - What?

Then why do you think I said that a year ago?

Never did I think...

I'd get butterflies for you, Mr. Oh.

Well...

So that...

So that meant...

- Mr. Oh! - Gosh. Yes?

What were we this whole time?

Then,

what were you doing all this time?

If we weren't even dating,

why were you helping at the shop?

Why'd you walk me home every day?

That's because...

That's because...

No, but even so, that doesn't mean we were dating...

That's not what dating is, is it?

I've never even held your hand.

That's because I figured that was just you.

I figured you were taking things slow.

Then hold my hand now.

Wait.

I've never even hugged you.

Then hug me now.

And...

there's still...

one more thing we haven't done.

What?

Gosh, this is so embarrassing. What am I even doing?

Oh, my.

Are you crying?

No, don't cry. This isn't the time.

If you cry, I'm leaving.

- I'm going to leave! - No.

Of course not.

I'm not that...

pathetic.

(Ham Ji Woo Solo Concert)

I can't take this.

In a corner of the dawn sky

Suddenly, a shooting star appears

And in the blink of an eye

Right above my head

Pouring down like rain

Oh, what a beautiful day

Even the sun and the moon are on my side

Shining just for me

Oh, be my salvation

In my empty heart

It's full of stars

You're my xylophone

You're my ding-dong-daeng

If it makes you happy I could be a trainee every day

You're my xylophone

You're my ding-dong-daeng

You make me sing

I can't erase that feeling

I'm dizzy like a shimmering heat haze

My faltering steps always before you

I'm so dizzy, I'm reeling

On this long and winding road

My weary heart

Searched for a place to rest

Letting out a sigh

On that lonely night

Like a warm and gentle greeting

You're the one I still long for

I'm done trying harder!

With you, all right?

Jung Da Hae. You have more than I do.

So don't avoid me.

So now you're being punished.

You, Dr. Ham,

dreaming of you is a special treat I have to save up for these days.

Will you marry me?

So, what did you think?

I thought it was even better live than the studio version.

Well, yes. I liked it.

If you did, why didn't you get married?

Excuse me?

I was so curious to see what you looked like.

And now I finally get to meet you.

- Are you perhaps... - Ji Woo finally seems happy.

And I think it's all thanks to you.

Thank you.

Wait...

Hey, Ji Song.

Da Hae! I just heard from Eun Sang.

I will use the driver from now on when I hit you.

A fan of yours gave you this.

What is this?

You're the leading man now.

Congratulations. I'll always be rooting for you.

(Small Theater)

Hey, guys.

This morning, I couldn't get the lid off the strawberry jam,

and I almost popped my own lid.

But then...

Sweetheart, when did you get so strong?

From eating and playing a lot.

Where could you play? It's so cold.

It must be freezing where you are.

What? What are you talking about, Mom?

Spring came a long time ago.

The whole world is full of spring.

What?

You cried so much, Mom, that all the ice melted away.

Ji Sang...

It's warm now, Mom.

So you should go out and have fun now, Mom.

See? Go on out and play.

That's when I realized.

That maybe my grief had started to fade.

And that maybe, I could start over.

So with that in mind, I'm thinking we could have some fun again.

What should we name our new playground?

- Ji Song. - Eun Sang Town?

- Da Hae. - Ji Sang Villa?

Or what about Average Street?

Honestly, I haven't picked a name,

so let's take our time and build it together.

So guys, come on over and play.

Ji Song, did you bring the rent money?

Da Hae.

- Eun Sang! - Eun Sang!

Eun Sang is back.

I missed you.

How was it?

Did you have a good time?

I cried my heart out.

Are you feeling better now?

I'm okay.

I want to be okay.

But...

some grief is meant to be unpacked a little at a time, over a lifetime.

What about you two?

Has life changed at all after you made money?

Well, as they say, money makes money.

Our shop is the most popular one in the neighborhood.

- Maybe I should raise the rent. - No.

I'm pretty much the same.

I eat, work, sleep, and rest now and then.

I deal with people's drama.

But after making money,

I feel like I have the strength to look forward to tomorrow.

Yes.

Lately, I get excited for what each new day will bring.

Are you sure it's just tomorrow you're looking forward to?

Is it just tomorrow?

Come on.

What are you talking about? Seriously.

- Are you sure it's just tomorrow... - Let's ask again.

you're looking forward to?

Hey, didn't you two break up?

- Should I just say it? - You don't have to.

Yes, sir.

Yes, the seminar went well.

No, I'm heading out from here.

I have somewhere to stop by.

Just because.

Maybe because I need a little mental reset?

What?

You...

You really are a piece of work, aren't you?

- Dr. Ham. - After a year, you'd just leave?

Something came up that day.

But I didn't just disappear. I left you a card.

Leaving a lingering note like that?

I seriously thought we were over.

I thought we were leads in a movie with an open ending.

No, what are you talking about?

I just...

Like you rooted for me, Dr. Ham, I wanted to do the same for you.

Why are you about to cry? I missed you so much.

Liar.

It's true.

I wanted to call you overseas every single night.

Do you have any idea how hard I had to fight that urge?

No, can't say I do.

And plane tickets...

Every day, I'd get to the buy button and barely stop myself.

- Do you get it now? - And I'm telling you, I didn't.

You have no idea how much I missed you.

It got so bad I started seeing things.

I thought I was going crazy from studying too hard.

What's with you?

I'm over here pouring my heart out about how much I missed you,

and you give me nothing.

Why aren't you saying anything? You're making me nervous.

Maybe it's because you're talking too much?

Excuse me?

So, your ambition...

Have you fulfilled it all?

And your dream...

Did you achieve it?

No.

There's one I haven't fulfilled yet.

You, Dr. Ham.

You...

are the one dream I've been saving.

So...

let me keep on dreaming.

Well, then...

Why don't you put this on?

I love you,

Ham Ji Woo.

A story like this one.

So, how should the story of those who desired more end?

Being punished for their greed,

would a bad ending like that be natural?

Life never goes the way you expect,

and we're ready to enjoy even its unpredictable moments.

So I'd call this a happy ending for everyone.

And why not?

Don't we have that opening event next week?

Aren't you taking it a bit too easy?

Gosh, it's so bitter.

And sour.

That's weird.

Why do I get a bad feeling from its smell?

Coffee's supposed to be bitter.

Just drink what you're given.

Mr. Ko Dae Young.

Yes, boss.

- Wait, I thought he was the boss. - I don't know who's who anymore.

What can I get for you?

Make me another one.

One that's tastier and more popular.

Basically,

- a better one! - A better one!
