Kim Chul Soo!

He probably won't forgive me.

I hope there won't be any more misunderstandings.

The love scandal involving me and my ghostwriter is entirely false.

The original author didn't like you being in the movie.

The protagonist reminded me of myself.

That's why I wanted to do it.

At the time, I had no choice but to do that!

I know.

I figure you did it for my sake.

There, I said it. Are you happy now?

So you're going to do Kim Chul Soo's movie? What am I to you?

Is that how you're living?

Not working but spending your nights at home drinking alone?

Yeah. I guess it turned out that way.

What do you mean 'It turned out that way'?

I'll do it.

I'll do the movie.

I look forward to working with you.

See?

You feel it too.

So... don't talk like that.

Even if you've forgotten it by now...

How can you say it wasn't love?

Don't say that our meeting and the pain that we felt wasn't love.

Don't say that.

We really...

shouldn't have met each other.

Really, from now on...

I don't think we should meet.

Kim Chul Soo!

Ma Ri!

Woo Jin!

Woo Jin!

Kim Chul Soo!

What's the meaning of this?

How can this happen?

I don't know either.

I said I don't know.

Where did Ma Ri go?

Geez...

I guess those two are for real.

What do you mean?

I thought Ma Ri had been taken advantage of.

Or that maybe she took advantage of him.

Like maybe he thought it would be cool to date an actress

or maybe she thought it would be fun to date her ghostwriter.

What kind of person do you think Ma Ri is?

That's how Ma Ri has acted until now.

What about you?

Did you take advantage of me?

- Why would I do that for? - Good point.

Then... did you like me?

I've thought about it occasionally before sleeping...

But I couldn't figure out the answer.

I know I did wrong by causing a scandal...

But I think I was scared at the time.

Because I wasn't sure how you felt about me.

Is that so?

So... how about we drop the attitude and the mind games?

And start over?

No.

There's a reason people break up.

If you've lost my trust once, it'll be hard for me to trust you again

even as time passes.

Some things just aren't meant to be, sweetie.

Okay?

Here, have this instead.

Ma Ri!

Mr. Kim...

Are some things really not meant to be?

Kim Chul Soo!

Kim Chul Soo!

See? It can still happen.

Hey, sweetie.

Some things are still meant to be.

Just put your faith in me.

What? Hey, where are you going? Where are you taking me?

- Put me down! - You're coming with me!

Please don't ask me.

Since I don't know why I did that either.

It's okay.

It's exactly like you.

Causing a mess and then acting like you didn't know anything about it.

I'm sure it must be overwhelming for you...

since it was a difficult break-up.

But I... don't think that was love.

Why is everyone saying that?

Both you and Kim Chul Soo...

Why are you guys acting so cold?

Who, me?

Fine. Yes, I'm cold.

How can I not be cold?

I went so far as to announce a fake marriage

in order to protect the man of the one I love.

I couldn't even tell you I love you because

I wanted to be by your side, even as a friend.

I had to be content with just being by your side.

So how can you kiss him while wearing this ring on your finger?

Don't say that.

I didn't think about how you might feel. I'm sorry.

It wasn't love.

If it had been love, you two wouldn't have broken up like that.

You think you broke up because you loved each other?

No way.

You split because it was too hard.

Being together was too hard for both of you.

Love was just an excuse.

Why... do you say that?

Because I want to say that what you have with me is love.

You spending time with me, and us being concerned about each other...

Hearing from other people that we make a great couple...

That is love!

What we have is love!

So... I won't let you go.

I really...

shouldn't have met you.

I shouldn't have.

Hey, Byung Joon, did...

Who is this?

It's been a while.

When did you arrive in Korea...

Today. I came here as soon as I arrived.

I see Reporter Jeon Byung Joon isn't here.

Ow, my tummy hurts...

Maybe I shouldn't have had those rice rolls...

What?

You're here.

It's been a while, eh?

Um... I have a meeting!

Look here!

It would be... illegal for you... to sue us over what we did.

Hey, grab your cameras!

Let's go!

What are you doing?

Hey, take pictures! Take pictures!

Take pictures of everything! Everything!

Aw, I wanted to speak with him in private.

Come visit me soon.

Okay?

- Byung Joon, are you okay? - Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

- That bastard! - Seriously!

[ANC Entertainment CEO Lee Chang Min]

Even if you've forgotten it by now...

Don't say that our meeting and the pain that we felt wasn't love.

How could I kiss her again?

How could I do that again?

Hope you all enjoyed your stay.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Let's get in!

I'll give you a ride in my car.

They look so cute together!

When did CEO Jung get here?

And when did Mr. Kim leave? Darn it!

I saw Ma Ri drinking a lot of alcohol.

Oh my gosh!

What... what the heck?

Seems like you two think we don't know what you're up to...

How can they...

Whatever, mind your own business!

What are you doing?

Oh, you're here, Professor.

I was reading a book.

Oh, really?

You were reading the same page

so I thought maybe you were heartbroken by Eun Young's blind date.

Oh... her blind date?

Yes, I heard that too.

It was big news at the school today.

I guess she's decided to date other people after all.

I thought Eun Young was interested in you.

Oh... no, that's not true.

Are you also interested in dating other people?

Maybe. Perhaps.

Great.

Pardon?

I'm relieved to see that expression on your face.

I don't know if you were depressed by

Eun Young's blind date or something else...

But I'd like to give you one piece of advice on your writing.

Yes, and what might that be?

Whatever it is that inspires you to write, I wonder why this time...

your novel that is supposed to be about profound and passionate love...

seems so cold and harsh instead?

Maybe you should think about that.

I've thought about what you said.

I know I gave you attitude...

I'm afraid you're going to say you're sorry again.

I too think it's all in the past.

I think of my relationship with Chul Soo as having been in the past.

But I don't like hearing people say that what we had was nothing.

I can't say I regret what I said.

There's no way I can think over what I said to you.

Since I still think that what you had with Chul Soo was nothing.

But... that 'nothing' we had...

Why does it cause my heart so much pain?

It hurts me so much, and I'm having a hard time.

Everything... the whole world... seems painfully real to me.

You're harsh.

You're so harsh and honest...

that I can't seem to let you go.

Don't do the movie.

What?

Don't do it.

And marry me instead.

This is the last time I'm proposing to you.

It's either Kim Chul Soo from the past, or me in the present. You decide.

Kim Chul Soo seems to think of you as being in the past.

I majored in classical literature.

I want to continue studying it, but we'll see how it goes.

It's hard being a student and making a living at the same time.

I went to medical school because

I couldn't afford being a student for most of my life.

What did you originally want to study?

Well, let's see...

When I was young, I wanted to study history.

Then I thought about studying science to help Korean companies make products.

I never knew I'd end up going to medical school.

But since working at the hospital, my thinking changed.

I realized that doctors have to learn a lot too.

Since it's a job where you meet some of the most unfortunate people in the world.

What's your ideal type of guy?

A guy who can play the piano.

I can't play the piano.

Should I learn?

A guy who can play the piano.

Then should I learn to play the piano?

Hello?

Chul Soo.

Hey, you're here.

I was surprised that you called me first.

I went to your school to meet you.

Oh yeah, the script... I didn't know you'd come today.

I have it with me. Want to see it?

No, it's not that.

I just wanted to see you.

I heard you went on a blind date.

I guess everyone at school is talking about it, huh?

Oh dear, I guess there'll be a lot of rumors when I go to school tomorrow.

Sorry about that.

Your car is scratched.

It's fine. It'll go away after a while.

Sorry about that.

What do you want to do?

I really can't think of anything to do during the day.

Yeah.

We always went out at night.

- Because we were always messing around? - Shh!

Careful. What if someone hears us?

See? Can we really say we went out with each other?

Let's set some rules.

Like what?

When other people are around or you're doing interviews

we keep our relationship secret.

For my sake?

Are you kidding me?

No, I don't want to! I'll tell the whole world! I don't like telling lies!

You might be okay if you break up since you're a celebrity and a guy...

But I'm a bit different.

If we break up, I don't want people to think I was jilted.

Do you have to mention breaking up when we've just started dating?

Then do you think we'll be seeing each other forever?

You want us to get married?

No thanks. Ugh, you're so full of yourself.

If you don't like it, then we can end it here.

- Do we have to keep it a secret? - Yes.

Fine. I have one condition too.

Let me introduce you to my family.

My mom keeps asking me when you'll come back for a meal. It's so annoying!

Let's go now, since I've mentioned it.

Why are you doing this? I don't want to!

Oh, hey!

Are you talking to a guy?

You're in Korea?

You arrived yesterday?

You should've told me.

If I'd known, I'd have met you at the airport.

Me? I'm...

Doing nothing.

Ma Ri?

I want to know what Ma Ri's been up to all this time.

So can you collect the information for me?

Okay. I'll see you at home tonight.

How about...

I introduce you to my family first?

Okay, let's just keep it a secret then.

Let's do it your way.

CEO Seo is here?

I told her to sleep in the room and not on the counter!

There aren't any customers anyway.

No customers yet? Oh my...

Oh my goodness!

Hello.

- Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! - How can you come here?

Lee Ma Ri!

Have you been well?

What's this?

Am I dreaming?

No, it's real.

Why the heck are you here?

Chul Soo is completely over you now.

It's not that... I'm working with Chul Soo for my latest project.

That's why I'm here.

You two are working together again?

What project is it this time?

You girls be quiet.

So... you're here to meet Chul Soo?

Yes.

Go upstairs.

How can you let her!

Are you crazy?

Be quiet!

It's good.

Aren't you going to ask me about my blind date?

You aren't curious?

Did you like him?

What did you like about him?

Well, let's see...

Not being able to play the piano.

That's strange.

What's strange?

Why is your expression like that?

I thought you'd be happy for me.

Oh... Why, what expression do I have?

You seem a bit disappointed.

Oh, really?

I guess I am a bit disappointed.

That's nice to hear.

Go on.

I have a lot of things on my mind lately and am going through a rough time...

So I went to visit you at school...

And there I heard that you had a blind date.

Honestly, I felt a bit strange after hearing that.

Is this weird for me to say?

It's because you think you're a prince.

What?

Frankly, what I liked about my blind date was...

the fact that he said exactly what you said a long time ago.

Was that weird for me to say?

Don't worry. I'm not searching for you in him.

I'm just saying that he also had something that I like about a guy.

Okay. I won't worry.

I guess I was having a crazy thought.

I feel comfortable when I'm around you.

So I didn't think about hanging out with anyone else...

I guess I just thought that I had someone I was comfortable hanging out with.

I'm sorry I was disappointed.

How was the blind date?

What do you think you're doing?

What are you doing?

- Is this clean? Did you wash it? - Give me that!

- What are you doing? - What's the matter?

Ow!

Oh my gosh! Why don't you knock?

Books contain knowledge of true human nature...

and descriptions of life's most beautiful things

all painted with humor and wit.

A couple's fight?

Ugh!

Oh my gosh!

You weren't sleeping?

Yes, please bring him in.

Welcome.

Nice to see you.

Please have a seat.

I was a bit surprised.

You came back sooner than I expected.

I was itching to be back.

I felt that my year away from Korea had already passed, too.

Frankly, I wanted you to continue

doing what you were doing because it was going so well.

It will be hard for you to work in entertainment right away.

There are still many people who remember your scandal.

Why don't you look into other positions?

How the heck do things work around here?

Lee Ma Ri doesn't seem to have done a single movie or commercial lately.

I guess you didn't know.

She's filming a movie right now.

I know.

She's completely botching my project.

Are you talking about Ma Ri?

That movie will only hurt her image.

Ma Ri was able to survive this all thanks to your support.

And I thank you for that.

Thank you for making her into Cinderella.

Ma Ri didn't achieve her success by being a good actress.

She's a star.

Someone who shows people what they want to see.

So even though that ghostwriting scandal hurt her...

she was able to be reborn as the fiancee of the CEO of a conglomerate.

But... I hear that her first movie after her hiatus is about independence?

I see you've already done your research.

What will you do if her ties with Kim Chul Soo

become the center of attention again?

I have a request.

A request?

I want to see Ma Ri soon.

I'm not so sure that she wants to see you.

Anyway, let's talk more in detail later about your comeback.

It'll be wise for you to take action immediately.

Bye then.

Oh yes.

From now on, I'd like you to address Ma Ri with respect.

Call her 'Miss Lee Ma Ri.'

Sure.

I will.

I'm too scared to go into my office.

Why did I have to mess with that mogul?

Wait, no.

I must focus now...

and find something that will bring an end to

Seo Tae Suk's career once and for all.

Hey!

- Is she still in his room? - Yeah.

My goodness!

Why did you let her into his room? Chul Soo might get mad if he finds out!

Yeah, he probably would.

But he wanted to see her so badly.

What? When?

He never mentions her anymore.

Ugh, that's why you girls don't know him!

He probably misses her so much.

They dated for a long time.

Chul Soo!

Oh, hey.

Let's go for drinks.

- What? - I'm dead!

What are you talking about?

Lee Ma Ri's dead meat too.

CEO Seo Tae Suk is back.

What?

I'm so full!

Man, I'm so full!

Yummy, that was good!

Did you meet her?

- Who? - Lee Ma Ri.

I hear she's doing a movie based on your novel.

She's really bothersome.

What is she thinking?

Why is she doing that movie?

Does she not know how much you stand to lose from this?

Scandals aren't as bad for her since she's a star...

But you're going to suffer badly again!

It's already done.

I hear you guys went on a group trip together.

Anything happened on the trip?

No.

You two met again, but no thoughts crossed your mind?

Well, one did.

I remembered that I'd lost all my trust in her.

I don't want to see her again.

Let's go inside.

Where did you go today?

- I met up with Eun Young. - Oh, I see!

- Chul Soo, I'll go buy us some beer. - Okay, hurry back.

Lee... Lee Ma Ri.

Lee Ma Ri!

Are you okay? Huh?

Are you...

I'm okay.

I had something to ask you.

The books that were in the bookcase are no longer there.

All twenty-nine volumes.

What did you want to ask me?

Never mind.

Everything was my fault.

Where did you go? Did you meet someone?

Yeah...

Lee Ma Ri.

What?

M-Ma Ri?

Do you think she heard everything I said? I didn't mean it.

Let's drink.

Darn it!

I only said that to comfort you.

I didn't really mean what I said.

I said let's drink.

I like your facial expressions.

I think we can put her in this drama.

We were such great partners.

When did you return?

Yesterday.

Are you here to stay?

Did you think I'd stay in America forever?

Why did you betray me?

Because your attachment to Ma Ri was increasingly harming her, not helping her.

I protect those who I love.

Is that why you put her in such a bad movie?

It was her choice.

Since when did she make her own choices?

I respect Ma Ri's opinions.

And that's why you coaxed her into a marriage she didn't want?

Frankly speaking, you and I have similar ambitions.

The ambition to shape someone to fit according to one's tastes.

Why did you come here?

You were always my best adviser.

What do you want to ask me?

It's a movie by Taiwanese director Chang Chen.

Hollywood is going to produce it.

It's her chance to become an international star.

How about taking Ma Ri out of that project

and putting her in this movie instead?

Is Chang Chen really directing it?

Yes, sir?

Get in.

I'm sorry.

This is the only place where I can talk to you.

I'm always making things hard for people around me, huh?

Sorry about yesterday.

Sorry for my unannounced visit.

Don't wait for me like that again.

I don't want you to get hurt again.

I imagined many times what it might be like for us to meet again.

I worried that you'd be angry at me if we ever saw each other again.

Didn't you plan to not see me again?

When I saw your press conference

I thought you weren't going to see me ever again.

I'm not smart like you...

I didn't think about all those things when I did it at the time.

I just thought it was the end... that our story was ending like this...

That's all I could think about at the time....

Since I was having such a hard time then.

So I thought I should do it for your sake...

Stop saying it's for my sake.

Denying what we had together... was that for my sake?

See? You really did love me.

Why do you keep saying it wasn't love?

Is that so important to you?

Fine. I loved you.

But when I think about it now, I don't think it was love.

Forgetting about everything else because I was so crazy about you...

How is that love?

Then... what is love?

I think that's love.

What the hell do you want?

I don't know.

I just thought we needed to talk.

Clinging to your past love... is that a chronic disease you have?

Look at the person who's by your side in the present!

I too will only look at the person who's by my side.

Love isn't about breaking up for someone's sake.

It's about sticking with the person you're currently with!

So for goodness sake, let's focus on the person who's by our side right now!

And don't act like a crazy person now that we've met again after a year!

I thought if I saw you again, I'd be able to talk comfortably to you.

And since you left me like that, I thought you'd be happy, too.

It's been a year already.

Our relationship ended a year ago.

Then... what is love?

Stop saying that it was for my sake.

Denying what we had together... is that for my sake?

I think that's love.

It's been a year already.

Our relationship ended a year ago.

Love isn't about breaking up for someone's sake.

It's about sticking with the person you're currently with!

So for goodness sake, let's focus on the person who's by our side right now!

Where did you go so early in the morning?

I haven't been here in a while.

I didn't expect to see you.

- You're so harsh. Let's have some tea. - I'd like some coffee, please.

- Sure. - Then I'll have the same.

What's up with the suit?

I'll be working at a company.

Today's actually my first day, but I figured I should go in the afternoon.

I can't get over what happened between us, so first things first...

You're working at a company?

You said you didn't want to.

That's what I'm saying. It's all your fault.

What?

I see you don't know.

I made a bet with my older brother.

He said he was going to put a ring on your finger.

What do you mean a bet?

My brother would win if he put a ring on your finger.

Then I'd agree to work for our grandfather's company instead of him.

He doesn't want to work for the company anymore.

He was born in the US and grew up there.

So he wants to go back there.

But Grandfather had always opposed it.

Grandfather said that if I worked for the company, he'd let my brother go.

Wait a minute.

So you're saying you guys made a bet over me?

Yeah.

Since Woo Jin won, you'll be working at the company.

Then what about Woo Jin?

He'll be leaving for the US in two weeks.

What I want to know is whether you really love him...

Or if you just agreed to wear the ring...

He's going to America in two weeks?

Do you like him at least a little bit?

Thanks for allowing me to work for the company with my curiosity satisfied.

What?

I'll be working starting today.

Why?

What do you mean why? We had a bet.

I told you, it's too early.

She just accepted the ring out of obligation.

I know you insisted on her wearing it.

But a red light doesn't stay red forever.

What?

I was planning to work for the company anyway, so it's not just about the bet.

So don't worry about it.

I just met with Ma Ri.

What?

I told her about our bet.

She was really surprised.

I think you should go see her right away, before she dumps you.

Hey...

It's my revenge on you.

And my gift.

I'm sorry.

Why didn't you tell me?

I made the bet so Ha Young would give up chasing you.

Why didn't you tell me you were going to the US?

What?

The US?

I heard you're leaving for the US in two weeks.

Are you really going?

How can you decide to go without even consulting me?

Are you mad at me?

Yes.

How can you do that?

This makes me glad.

Ha Young, that bastard!

Yeah, I'm going to the US.

And I'm taking you with me.

What?

Director Chang Chen wants to make a movie with you.

It'll be filmed in the US.

Let's go together.

Set up a short interview with a reporter.

Is Ma Ri really being pulled out of that movie?

She will be, so just do as I say.

The movie 'Loss' is being put on hold! Did you hear?

Mr. Seo!

Jang Soo, it's been a while!

You're doing just as well as I expected.

Oh... thank you.

You pull out of that movie too.

Ma Ri will probably want to do the movie.

I want to do the movie too.

Stop controlling Ma Ri from now on.

Why this little brat.

Seems you're trying to lecture me now.

Hey! Do I seem that trivial to you?

Huh? Do I?

Huh?

Tae Suk.

But I'm working on another movie right now.

And I told you I'm against it.

And now there's a problem with the movie.

Investors are worried about a movie that might be the target of malicious gossip.

Malicious gossip?

About you and Kim Chul Soo.

How can that make for malicious gossip now?

When I even gave that press conference?

Wait, is that why you did the press conference?

Well, this love triangle we're in ought to get more interesting.

Still, I'm going to continue working on that movie.

If you're in it, my company can't produce it.

It's what the investors are demanding.

Either you drop out of the project, or the movie won't be produced.

They're saying that the movie will be produced only if you drop out.

Are you still going to do it?

Yes, I'm still doing it.

There won't be any malicious gossip.

I think you're wrong.

Mr. Seo is back.

Hi, Auntie! What are you doing?

- Here, I'll do it. - No, it's okay.

- I'll clean. - No, it's fine.

- Did you see her? - What?

Did you see Lee Ma Ri?

Here, sit down.

Strangely enough, I've always been able to know what you're feeling.

You never talked about your mother...

But I knew that you were waiting for her every day while you read your books.

And I know why you say mean things only to those you love.

I know the fear that makes you do that.

That's why I couldn't stop thinking about Ma Ri.

Are you still paying her back?

Yes.

Why? It's not like she's asking you for money.

That's basically a way of telling her not to forget you.

The longer I live, the more I realize that life is short.

If you like her, live with her.

If she's come back to you, don't be cold and stubborn.

It's been a while.

Where are you?

I was on my way to your place.

Why?

I'm sure Jung Woo Jin must've told you by now.

I'm not doing that movie.

Why not?

I'll work on the movie that I want to work on.

You can't.

I will.

Lee Ma Ri!

You already know...

that you can't escape from me.

That movie will find another good actress and will be successful.

I want to do it.

But you know this too...

That whenever you do what you want, someone gets hurt.

You must know pretty well that you have no choice.

Hello?

Hello?

Ma Ri!

Ma Ri!

What's going on?

Ma Ri!

There are people in this world who are hurting just because they're apart.

The reason I didn't want you to do it was that I hoped we wouldn't meet again.

And I didn't think the protagonist would suit you.

I thought the protagonist and I were very much alike.

To me, you're different.

I see.

Oh hey, Byung Joon.

Hello?

Hey, Chul Soo! Reporters are in a frenzy right now!

Lee Ma Ri's car accident!

Wait, hold on a second.

- Can you tell us about her condition? - We don't have exact details right now...

[Asia's star Lee Ma Ri in a car accident]

[Top star Lee Ma Ri in car crash!]

I think I knew then that I was following a path that led to you.

But when I think about it now...

I don't think that was love.

Forgetting about everything else, giving up everything...

because I was so crazy about you. How is that love?

It was love.
