I'll go around with you.

So what do I do?

Isn't this place like a fantasy?

You don't like it?

It sounds like I'm bragging.

That's why you should've read more.

I should never have started something like this.

I'm the man who disappeared.

I'm the first love who disappeared.

Lee Ma Ri!

I present you our guest of honor, Miss Lee Ma Ri!

I need to hear something from Miss Lee Ma Ri.

Can you handle loving Ma Ri?

My name is Jung Woo Jin.

Vanilla ice cream?

You want this?

Tell us the two classic novels you mentioned in 'Lovers In Asuka.'

She doesn't even know what she wrote?

That's why I didn't want to write a book.

The whole world is talking about your book!

But that's not even my book!

I'll take care of my business myself from now on.

It's been a long time, Kim Chul Soo.

Yes, hello.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

Can you tell me where the gallery is?

The gallery.

Can you show me?

Let's go.

It's not that way.

She looks familiar.

She's an actress, professor.

Lee Ma Ri.

That's right.

The actress who wrote a book.

So she recognizes who the smartest guy is.

What?

You know, Professor Kim, I have too many classes.

Then why don't you assign some of them to those instructors?

These clowns?

What's the relationship between Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young?

'The Sorrows of Young Werther.'

How did you know?

[Lovers In Asuka]

[Pride And Prejudice]

[The Catcher In The Rye]

[The Sorrows of Young Werther]

Ghostwriting.

Is that position still available?

So...

You wrote this, Kim Chul Soo?

Are you sure you're a reporter?

You stayed with Lee Ma Ri in Japan without telling me?

Kim Chul Soo!

They must be shy.

Who would ask for autographs and cause a commotion at a school?

They're not that interested in celebrities.

What are you doing?

I borrowed that from the library.

What?

Is that 'Kim Chul Soo'?

Oh, I shouldn't be causing a commotion like this at a school.

I feel so bad.

Why didn't you answer when I called?

You called in the middle of the night.

You didn't want to see me?

It's nothing like that.

William Blake.

Who's this person?

He's a poet and a painter.

He illustrated for Dante's book.

Dante?

'The Sorrows of Young Werther.'

That would be Goethe.

Shouldn't you have some basic things in your book memorized?

I was joking.

You even do that in front of reporters when you're on TV.

You've been watching me.

How could I not, when you're on every day?

Then I guess you've been watching me every day and thinking of me.

I haven't.

I'm disappointed.

We were pretty close in Japan, you know.

When were we ever close?

We're partners in crime.

Partners in crime of 'Lovers In Asuka.'

What brings you here?

Ma Ri didn't come here?

Ma Ri?

Why?

Ma Ri' going to be on a talk show to discuss literature?

It's not as bad as prime time, because it's a cable channel.

But what could Ma Ri possibly talk about there?

Imagine Ma Ri discussing literature with scholars and novelists.

Oh, no.

What's wrong with Ma Ri?

She probably feels overwhelmed and insulted

that a book she didn't even write is becoming a hit.

We haven't been getting along since her trip to Japan.

You know I published that book against her will.

But the book is a success.

It's too big of a success.

It's becoming a headache.

But I think this is where I draw the line.

I can't just watch her like this anymore.

So what's the real reason you came here?

If I tell you, will you help me?

Then... Help me.

With what?

Will you live with me for a month?

What did you say?

Just for a month.

Live with me for a month.

- Whether it's one month or two months... - I'm going on a talk show next month.

You know how bad I am on interviews.

So how could I go on a show for a discussion?

And I'll have to deal with these things for a while.

So are you asking me to live with you and prepare you for talk shows?

I'll pay you accordingly.

I mean, I'll pay you a lot.

Just think of yourself as a live-in tutor.

Literature isn't some math problem.

How could I help you with that?

You can at least explain to me about

the twenty nine books mentioned in 'Lovers in Asuka.'

Have you even read the book?

You probably haven't since you think Dante wrote 'The Sorrow of Young Werther.'

You expect someone to help you when

when you didn't even make any effort on your own?

I don't know how.

There are too many books and it's too hard.

Just read the book first and look up the references on the internet.

I don't go on the internet!

I only get hurt when I go on it.

You think throwing a tantrum with me would solve anything?

Just read the book first and...

You think I haven't read it?

You should've considered my level.

Are you proud of your pathetic level?

Man...

I'm...

Selfish.

You only care about satisfying your needs.

With someone else's book.

Satisfying my needs?

She's driving me crazy.

I'm sorry for satisfying my needs with 'someone else's book.'

But I could care less since it's 'someone else's book,' right?

I don't know what you're going through, but I have my own problems.

That's why I said I'll pay you.

You ghostwrote because of money, didn't you?

Lee Ma Ri, I absolutely won't do it.

Honestly, whenever I see you talking about the book on TV

I feel so guilty that I'm fooling everyone.

I no longer want to be controlled by you.

So don't show up in my life like this anymore.

Just as I would make your life uncomfortable by being in your life

your presence would also make my life uncomfortable.

I'll get going now.

Don't ever show up like that again.

Did you go somewhere, Ma Ri?

You're here, Director.

I came, because I heard you disappeared.

Since when did my house turn into our office?

We were all worried about you.

Next time, call me before you come over.

I'm going to get some rest now.

Have some kimbap.

Later.

- Jang Soo. - Yes.

Can you run an errand for me?

What is it?

Get me the books mentioned in 'Lovers in Asuka.'

You said I have to pick one out of them and talk about it on the talk show.

I already picked one for you.

I thought a widely popular one might be good.

I thought 'Pride And Prejudice would be a good choice

since it was made into a few movies as well.

Get them for me.

I'll make my own choice.

Ma Ri.

I don't really feel like talking.

Where did you go?

I just went to see someone.

Who?

Someone who's honest with me.

What?

He doesn't sugarcoat his words.

It's nothing.

He's a friend.

You want me to turn off the lights for you?

Thanks.

Director.

Tell Mr. Seo not to cancel any of my schedules from tomorrow on.

She says she'll keep her schedule from tomorrow on.

Don't give me that look.

You're the one who made her that strong.

Tell her to do whatever she wants.

Mr. Seo!

President Seo.

If she's going to do whatever she wants

I'm not going to help her with this one.

Tell her to go on that talk show and do whatever she wants.

We'll see what happens.

What is this?

You should cover yourself.

Cover yourself.

Forget it!

Chul Soo.

What would you do if you found out that someone you trust betrayed you?

And it's not just anyone.

You really, really trusted this person and he betrayed you.

I'd first ask why he did something like that.

Man...

Are you kidding me?

You're just going to use words?

Why not punch him in the face or ask for monetary compensation?

You're saying you're just going to settle it with words?

I'm talking about a betrayal that's equal to

your best friend fooling around with your girlfriend.

Yes, that's a good example.

But you don't have a girlfriend.

You haven't had one for about four years.

Never mind.

What's wrong?

I'm not telling you.

Why not?

I'm going to get my revenge.

Revenge?

I'm thinking of how I should get my revenge.

How I could hurt him where it hurts the most.

You want to go have some soju?

You think I'd want to go have soju with you right now?

How about some soju with chicken feet?

Forget it if you don't want to.

Hey.

And some squid.

But...

Don't you think it's unfair?

An actress caused a sensation by writing a book

when you always wanted to be a writer.

Lee Ma Ri?

Let's assume that the book you ghostwrote

becomes a hit like Lee Ma Ri's book.

It's not good to make assumptions.

Don't get technical and just imagine.

Let's say the book you ghostwrote caused a sensation.

Would that make you feel good?

It would...

not.

It'd be unfair and I'd feel totally crummy.

But objectively speaking, I have the moral responsibility

to bear such things since I agreed to do something like ghostwriting.

That possibility was always there and

that factor was considered when I made my decision.

So...

I don't care.

Fine.

You're a know-it-all.

But... Had I known who I will be writing for

I would've predicted the outcome and turned down the job.

Who?

- Lee Ma Ri. - What? Are you coming clean?

Did you say we're assuming that the book was Lee Ma Ri's?

Right. That's what I meant.

More than that, if the book I ghostwrote became a hit...

I might have this kind of thought.

'If my own book became a hit like this'

'I would be able to continue to write.'

Something like that.

Let's drink.

'The Sorrows of Young Werther.'

Goethe.

'The Great Gatsby.'

Scott Fitzgerald.

Scott Fitzgerald...

'The Little Prince.'

Saint-Exupéry.

I have 2 pick 1 book out of da 29 2 discuss.

Can u juss help mee wit dat?

I can't ask 4 dis either?

You call this a text message?

R u goin 2 answer or wat?

Why should I tell you that?

How shameless.

I've decided on 'Pride and Prejudice.'

That's good.

Finished 50 pgs of 'Pride and Prejudiss.'

It's 'Prejudice.'

Look at how she writes.

Where's Mr. Seo?

[Marriage and Romance in 'Pride and Prejudice.'

A bride who jumped into water.

An adjustment?

They typically make a short documentary of the author

but we made an adjustment because of your busy schedule

and since we shouldn't expose your personal life.

When is the meeting?

We'll probably have one next week.

Ma Ri, you should make up with Mr. Seo by then.

How will you have the meeting on your own?

What's the format?

It'll be like a wedding shoot.

A wedding shoot?

I picked out some gorgeous dresses.

The theme is...

'Marriage and Romance.'

Marriage and what?

You should just make up with Mr. Seo.

Or not.

You should do whatever you want.

We're ready. Please come.

Okay.

Hey.

Aren't you Eun Young?

Hello.

Are you here to see Dr. Kim?

I heard you were in Japan. Are you back?

No. I just came for a conference.

A conference?

There's a difference because they're a PhD couple.

So are your parents well?

Yes.

You're all well too, right?

What?

Isn't this great?

You came?

You should hold her hand.

That's right, Dr. Kim.

You haven't seen her in a long time. Give her a big hug.

Go ahead and give her a hug.

They're so cute.

They're different because they're a PhD couple.

You can just feel their intelligence.

- They're so cute together. - Right?

You're back?

Yoo Ri.

That girl, Eun Young, is here.

She came to see Chul Soo.

Really? Eun Young?

I wanted to see her too.

But I've never seen that side of Chul Soo.

He's so soft and sweet, like cotton candy. Right?

Yes, but he should be like that with the girl he likes.

You still don't know him after all these years you've lived with him?

He's never good to the girl he likes.

He is good.

If he's like his mother, he'd be a master at dating.

You have a conference in Daejeon and you came all the way here?

I wanted to see you, even if it's only for a few hours.

You didn't have to.

You're not happy that I came to see you?

I just don't want you to be tired.

How much longer do you have to stay in Japan?

Two months.

Oh, two months.

That's long.

This is nice.

Having coffee with you in the morning like this.

Thank you.

What if she catches a cold?

What's wrong?

This is the last dress, but...

You have to wear this and get splashed.

Why?

The concept is 'the bride who jumped into the water.'

A bride who jumped into the water?

Hello.

Miss Lee Ma Ri.

Mr. Jung Woo Jin?

Thank you for agreeing to be on a show at my TV station.

I feel like I'm being mocked.

That's not true.

I just thought it'd be nice to add something shocking.

At first, we were thinking of a Christmas bride wearing braces.

I'm just kidding.

Drink this while it's still hot. Your body must be cold.

Thank you.

I'm glad to see you again.

I was surprised that you remember my name.

I know someone with the same name.

You don't remember anything else about me?

Never mind.

Your book is a hit. Congratulations.

Can I ask for your autograph?

To tell you the truth, I haven't read it yet.

Don't.

It's embarrassing.

I guess Ha Young's the same.

I know the girl he's dating now, because we acted together.

Well, tell him that I hear about him here and there

and I'm glad he seems to be doing fine.

Really?

But Ha Young's probably not doing as well as he seems.

They're taking a while with the van.

You must be cold.

No, I'm fine.

I don't wear other people's clothes.

I guess you've changed.

Did you hear that?

Have we met before?

Since a long time ago...

I've been watching your movies.

Movies.

There it is.

We'll talk more later.

It was nice seeing you today.

See you at the talk show.

Okay.

Now bow.

Ma Ri.

My mom told me that all girls are like stars and angels

so I have to give them pretty things.

My mom was pretty too.

She became a star.

Sorry.

No, I am...

You don't think of me when we're apart, do you?

I think of you a lot.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

That's how you've always been.

When I didn't know you and I only read your writing at first...

I thought you're the type of person who'd even give up your life for love.

That's how your writing was.

Giving up my life for love...

I don't like those things.

I don't like others who hurt people because of their love.

You're pouting because I didn't hold your hand.

I know I'm lacking in many ways.

But I try my hardest.

I know it can't be the same, but I'll try to

make things like how it used to be.

Honestly, I was nervous.

I'm getting sweaty too.

This is the first time we're seeing each other

since we decided to get back together in Japan.

I don't even know what to say first.

I'm silly like that, right?

It was hard for you before too, right?

A little.

But now...

I've come to like this side of you.

This second time around.

I feel like I can understand you better.

You're a little awkward, but you try hard.

You can't lie.

And once you make a decision, you don't change, so I can trust you.

Right?

I'll try too.

So that we can go back to how we used to be.

Thank you.

Like how we used to be...

[Marriage and Romance in 'Pride and Prejudice']

[Lovers In Asuka]

[Pride and Prejudice]

There's no conflict and no major event.

So boring...

Chul Soo.

Why are you out here? Are you not feeling well?

I was exercising for prevention.

Were you with Eun Young?

I like Eun Young.

You can't relapse, you have to be careful.

Let's go inside, it's cold.

I'll stay out here a little longer.

But what's wrong with you these days?

Shouldn't you look happy since you're seeing Eun Young again?

But why do you still look unhappy?

I just have a lot of things to think about.

This and that... I have to find a job too.

Do you have to get a job?

What do you mean?

You getting a job...

You keep denying it, but I feel like you're doing that because of me.

I'm saying that's just what I feel.

You can't afford to worry about someone else.

It's not because of you.

Don't worry.

It's because I have to get married too.

Really?

Aren't you cold? You don't want to go inside?

Should I give you a piggyback ride?

I'm not a little girl.

[Resume]

You know, Darcy, the main character of

'Pride and Prejudice', is just like you.

No, he's not.

Where are you right now? Should we meet?

No. Do you know what time it is?

I'll come to you.

Is your address on the contract correct?

I knew you'd call.

Why aren't you replying to my text messages?

I thought I already told you that I don't want to see you or talk to you.

Can't you just do it for a month?

No.

But it's your book.

It's your book.

You're so harsh.

Ask Mr. Seo or someone else you know.

Hello?

There's no one who can help me.

You even ghostwrote for me.

I can pay you as much as you want.

You said you need money.

Why are you doing this?

Are you upset now that the book became a hit?

Yes, that's right.

I feel crummy. Are you happy now?

Don't ever call me again. I feel silly even talking to you.

I know you're a big star.

I know you're used to having others do things for you

ordering people around and looking down on others.

But it doesn't feel very good for the person

being ordered around, so stop it.

Don't ever call or text message me again.

I never want to think about you or that book again.

Upset?

How ridiculous.

Fine.

Let's forget about it.

Han Jeong Woo is going to Singapore to film this week.

I'm going to join him on the last day, so make arrangements.

We'll discuss the movie there too.

About Lee Ma Ri...

Pass.

- And Jang Soo. - Yes.

Don't be an agent anymore.

What?

We're going to scout some new actors, so you can be trained with them.

But I promised Ma Ri that I'd take care of her for the rest of my life.

- Yong Sok. - Yes, Mr. Seo.

Lead the meeting on my behalf.

Can I get your autograph?

I really enjoyed your book.

I loved both your book and your new movie.

Thank you.

Why do they like the book so much?

Don't be like that.

Your value has gone up so much because of the book.

There are people of higher status wanting to meet you.

Jut make up with President Seo. He meant no harm.

To tell you the truth, I'm the one who came up with the ghostwriting idea.

Should I arrange a meeting?

The three of us should meet tonight before the event.

Come to the salon. I'll contact him.

Should I tell Chul Soo before I write this?

He probably won't let me write this.

I shouldn't.

I'm going to have to sponge off of him.

Then should I talk to Lee Mary about Chul Soo?

That's not good either. She may not like me then.

Then should I gather information the conventional way to write an article?

But it's so hard to gather information.

I'm not feeling too well, so I shouldn't do anything tiring.

Okay.

Attention, everyone.

Turn in your topics.

I want you to be ahead of everyone.

And make sure your headlines are attention-grabbing.

Should I just meet with Chul Soo and Lee Ma Ri...

Oh, Director Cho and Lee Ma Ri will be at the

last showing of 'Goodbye My Love' tonight.

- Who wants to go? - Me, me!

I'll go.

You're fast with these things.

But you're always late to work.

- Write a good one. - Of course.

Exclusive news!

Chul Soo. You're here.

Hello.

Have a seat.

Do you remember me?

Of course.

I took your courses and I wanted to obtain my PhD through you

but you were abroad at the time.

Then it's going to be easier to talk to you.

One elective course and more major course.

Course?

You'll take over for me, right?

And I want to share this office with you.

This office is too big.

And I get bored too.

Is there a problem?

To tell you the truth, I was going to quit school next semester.

To get a job?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

You're not going to write novels?

How did you...

I read some of your work before.

You haven't written any more since?

Why didn't you?

Think about it.

You should write if that's what you want.

Hey, Byung Joon.

Okay.

See you there.

So you wanted to watch it too, right?

Let's watch it.

Watch what?

You said we're having dinner together.

I like that more than eating.

Lee Ma Ri's movie?

When I see Lee Ma Ri, I don't even have to eat.

I'm not watching it. Why don't you watch it by yourself?

I don't want to watch it by myself.

When you watch movies by yourself, you can focus better

and you can cry freely if you want to.

Just watch it by yourself.

Forget all that nonsense.

Let's go.

- Byung Joon. - Hurry.

- Byung Joon. - Let's go.

See? We're late!

Fine, fine.

Let's see.

Right there.

Excuse us.

I'm Reporter Jun Byung Joon of Shinhwa Entertainment.

- Hey... - I'm sorry.

Aren't you excited?

I don't know what to do with you.

It's okay.

I'll be fine.

This hat is so pretty.

Isn't Yoo Ri really talented?

Should I talk Yoo Ri into starting an internet business with me?

Cha Ryon.

What are you doing?

Huh?

Oh, nothing.

You're acting suspicious.

What is it?

Can you...

keep a secret?

Yes.

Think before you speak.

Okay, okay.

You mean I can't tell Ok Ja, right?

What is it?

Bo Yong is in Korea.

What?

Someone saw her.

I heard she's singing at a hotel.

She's pretty successful then...

Are you going to tell the kids?

She's their mother.

She abandoned them.

Still.

They've been separated for over twenty years. Shouldn't I tell them?

No, you can't.

It's better that they don't know.

She abandoned her own kids.

So now what?

Yoo Ri.

Auntie.

Did you hear us?

Tell me.

Hey.

You don't have to meet a woman like her.

Tell me, Auntie.

I...

don't even know what she looks like.

I want to go on the Ferris wheel.

Then I'd be able to kiss you.

Why?

I just feel like I'd be able to.

If we slowly fly through the air...

Byung Joon, let's go.

Byung Joon.

As we have announced, you will see the director and the leading actress

at this final showing of 'Goodbye My Love.'

The actress?

Let's welcome them onto the stage.

Did I not tell you that they'll be here?

You didn't.

I'll get going now.

Hey, hey.

You can't leave now.

Let's watch this together.

Miss Lee Ma Ri!

Over here!

Be quiet.

Miss Lee Ma Ri, over here!

The applause isn't stopping.

Please greet them one more time.

I know you were only supposed to say hello to them

but since this is the last showing, could you take a question each?

Yes, sure.

Who would like to ask a question?

Yes, you with your hand raised.

I really enjoyed the movie.

My question is for Director Cho.

I heard you had Lee Ma Ri in mind as the leading actress from the beginning.

To be honest, Daisy is the woman of my dreams.

Oh, you also mentioned her in your book.

'The Great Gatsby.'

Yes, you're right.

Daisy from 'The Great Gatsby' fits Lee Ma Ri's image.

Oh, Ma Ri mentioned 'The Great Gatsby' in her book

so why don't we hear from her about how she compares herself to Daisy?

I...

I have a question.

I have a question for Miss Lee Ma Ri.

First, in Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby'

Daisy, who Gatsby loved, had what she wanted but not what she loved.

I think Polly in this movie also portrayed

a woman whose desires have been fulfilled.

Right?

Yes.

You said exactly what I was going to say.

I also think that.

But what is your question?

Well...

So...

Gatsby, who loved Daisy, is different from Darcy

in 'Pride and Prejudice', right?

Yes.

So my question is...

You know Darcy, the main character of 'Pride and Prejudice' is just like you.

What do you think of Darcy?

He's the king of bragging.

He grumpy, difficult, and cold.

He has no desires to impress others or be loved by others.

And whoever approaches him gets hurt.

and the worst thing of all is being well aware of that

and still thinking it's okay to be that way.

Yes, thank you.

But...

He's kind of cute.

Chul Soo, hurry!

What are you doing?

There she is!

Miss Lee Ma Ri!

Lee Ma Ri!

You can't fool Jun Byung Joon.

This Kim Chul...

Oh my gosh...

What the heck?

Hey...

Miss Lee Ma Ri, Kim Chul Shu is...

Hey, Chul Soo!

She really said she's coming?

Yes.

Just wait.

Okay.

I'll wait and see.

This was the final showing of 'Goodbye My Love,' starring Lee Ma Ri.

He's the king of bragging.

He's grumpy, difficult, and cold.

He has no desires to impress others or be loved by others.

And whoever approaches him gets hurt.

And the worst thing of all is being well aware of that

and still thinking it's okay to be that way.

But...

He's kind of cute.

I'm so upset that my dinner's not even digesting.

Should we have some soju at my place?

Forget it.

There's nothing special here, so I'll just go home.

- Bye. - Good night.

Right.

There's nothing special there.

What took you so long?

I came out as soon as I got home.

Did you go eat or something?

What is this?

I have something to say.

Let's go somewhere quiet.

Get in.

Man...

Is this where you live?

Let's talk here.

Oh, it's open.

Hey.

You said you had something to say.

Can't we go inside and talk?

No.

It's cold.

At least give me your coat.

It's cold.

So what is it that you want to say?

You don't know what I'm going to say?

You can start off by thanking me for what happened tonight.

I never asked you to save me.

Thanks.

But you know I was talking about you, right?

The king of bragging.

Well, I liked your question.

It was something I knew.

But don't you think you should read?

You'll get into really big trouble.

'The Sorrows of Young Werther.'

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

'The Great Gatsby.'

Scott Fitzgerald.

'Pride and Prejudice.' Jane Austen.

I memorized the names and the authors of all twenty nine books.

Will you tutor me?

What?

Tutor?

Get inside.

- Why? - Get inside.

Can you do it for just one month?

Do what?

Chul Soo.

Chul Soo.

Chul Soo.

Are you not home?

The reporter in me is telling me that there's something going on.

Subtitles By SBS

Why would you change if you'll be leaving soon?

I want to read in comfortable clothes.

You told me to read.

You mean you'll sleep here?

Just think of it as acting.

Acting as poor newlyweds.

Are you kidding me?

Ma Ri is the one who changed!

Are you interested in her too?

Should we make a bet?

I'll put a ring on Lee Ma Ri's finger and bring her to you.

I just came because I missed you.

Why are you only getting here now?

It's more fun to say what I want to say than reciting what others wrote for me.
