YEONHWARU

Excuse me.

It's my first time here.

What's good here?

Hi, Tinky Winky.

I'm not in a great mood today,

so I want to drink alone in peace,

but someone keeps talking to me.

Just ignore him, and he'll take the hint?

Hey, Sang-hun.

Why are there so many self-absorbed people lately?

I just came to drink alone.

And it's my first time here, so I asked for a recommendation.

But she thinks I'm hitting on her.

Talk about being delusional.

It's so unfair.

Getting rejected before I even tried.

You know what?

You're not really my type either.

I doubt you know that.

We haven't even exchanged names.

If I wanted small talk, I'd take you to a 24-hour café.

You get called weird a lot, don't you?

- I bet you do, too. - Not really.

I mostly get, "You're a good kisser."

Who told you that you're a good kisser?

Does that matter right now?

Because you're not.

Where's the rhythm? It's about give and take.

Oh, I thought you liked it rough.

Okay, got it.

Give and take with some rhythm.

No, let's stop.

I clearly said no.

Feeling guilty about your boyfriend?

No.

It's just that you suck.

Is this funny?

You're heavy. Get off.

Jeez.

You're such a mood killer.

That was fun. It's been a while.

Hey!

Namgung Ho and I first met at age seven.

We've seen each other at our rawest since we were kids.

"Do you know solitude?"

"I first learned about it from the movie Taxi Driver."

"I was nine…"

We went through our wild teenage years.

Hey.

What the hell?

- What? - Why'd you hit me?

- I'm sorry. - Dude, I'm sorry.

- Do you know her? - What are you doing?

Hey! Oh my god!

We were just friends for a long time,

but we started dating when we turned 26.

And we've been together for ten years.

Your place isn't even that big.

It's not hard to walk to the washer

and toss these in.

You never clean up.

You only have one mouth.

Why do you use four cups?

Seriously, I can't.

Hey!

I said to crush the cans.

What am I going to do with you?

Hey there, Director Lee.

Why are you so down lately?

Option one, the shoot got delayed by two months.

Option two, you checked the footage today,

and Song Hae-na's acting sucked.

Option three, the studio keeps rejecting the music director you want.

Or option four.

You're sad we had to stop kissing earlier.

I knew it was option four.

Option five, the shrimp toast sold out because you were late.

Should I order fried chicken?

Chicken Five, whole chicken combo.

Extra mustard and yogurt garlic sauce.

- And double cheese sticks? - Okay, deal.

You hated the idea of CGI snowscapes anyway.

It sucks that the studio decided without telling you,

but didn't it work out for the best?

Director Lee Mi-do is known for her mise-en-scène.

Go all out and end this whole thing.

Can I really end it?

Yeah, end it.

1. WILL TEN YEARS TOGETHER END IN MARRIAGE OR A BREAKUP?

NAMGUNG-TUSH

Hey.

Lee Mi-do, wake up.

Okay. I love you, love you, mwah.

Me too. I love you, love you, mwah.

Hey!

SWEET DELIGHT FROM GOOD INGREDIENTS

Today, I'll take you behind the scenes of the movie Heartless.

Oh, Ms. Lee.

What's this? Didn't you tell her no personal recording?

I did mention it to her manager.

- I'm sorry. I'll tell them again. - You…

Given the genre, even a prop could be a spoiler.

All staff are prohibited from personal recording.

Get the video you just took cleared by production first.

The director seems mad.

I'll make sure it gets cleared so I can upload it.

CLEARED!

I'M SO HAPPY TO SHOW YOU A GLIMPSE OF THE SET!

DIRECTORS CAN'T BE SO AUTHORITARIAN

SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT

DID YOU SEE HER EYES?

She's the director of the indie film, After Spring Comes Summer,

starring Gong Ji-seok.

It's After Spring Comes Winter.

Didn't she win an award before Bong Joon-ho?

The first Asian female director to win

the Short Film Category in Florence in 2018.

Why does the director look so young? She looks younger than Song Hae-na.

That's a bit of a stretch.

Ah, damn it.

Factory Manager, wait!

I almost broke my back moving those sacks. You owe me.

You did it yourself. Why are you whining to me?

Wait.

The other day, wiping the belt… Where is it?

Here, I got hurt here.

Yesterday, washing trays until dawn, my finger…

Looks fine.

You're right. Why does it look fine?

Just 30 minutes ago, it looked pretty beat up.

Wow, talk about crazy recovery speed.

I bet you're making a fuss

over the fourth sample of your Spicy SweeTato Chips.

I told you. There isn't much difference.

No, there is.

You see, the slot before the fourth batch is Ho-Ho Pumpkin Chips,

and since those are dairy-based, no matter how thoroughly I do CIP,

- there's a risk of cross-contamination. - So what?

Since the fifth batch is after Ho-Ho Pumpkin Chips,

you want them switched?

I told you it's hard to change schedules at year-end.

You must think

I'll get soft if you pull something like this.

No, I'm just saving up points.

Like Assistant Manager Shin,

I got money to buy you a bottle of Celint 18-Year-Old.

I'm not sure if I should go that far,

and I don't even want to.

Because I absolutely hate being tacky.

Still, I'm good with hands-on work.

What are you talking about?

And who forced you to do it?

- You voluntarily… - Wait.

Where did it go?

It was here… Or was it never here to begin with?

- What? - Maybe it's at home.

- Lost something? What? - You seen it?

Your conscience.

Assistant Manager Gung!

If you worked me to the bone all week,

you should calculate my pay properly.

Based on the hourly rate of my salary excluding bonuses,

three hours a day, four on Thursday.

And I worked after hours.

So if you multiply that by seven…

It's 375,000 won.

Turns out my labor was worth 20,000 won more than Celint 18-Year-Old, huh?

I sure worked a lot.

HUNMIN CONFECTIONERY

Ugh.

- How long will you do this? - Until you give in.

How can I change what the executives already finalized?

Will you take the fall?

You should, sir.

That's why you get paid two million won more than me.

Really?

Why?

Get lost.

Okay, fine.

I admit there's a slight difference in sweetness.

But looking at the internal survey,

feedback is consistent from the first batch to the fourth.

It means there's no statistically significant difference.

These are the comments from the latest internal survey.

Take a look. Here.

SPICY SWEETATO CHIPS INTERNAL SURVEY RESULTS

The sweet potato flavor is missing, and the aftertaste is the worst.

It'll flop before it even launches.

- What? - My condolences in advance.

You wrote this? It's exactly what you said.

I know, right?

At first, even I thought, "Did I sabotage us while drunk?"

I think you forgot because you're getting older,

but something similar happened with Hot Chocolate Chips.

The person who caught the steam input error…

I hate to say this myself,

but that was me.

Whoa.

I can't believe I'm hearing the Hot Chocolate Chips origin story.

It's an honor.

Baek up.

I worked all week to change the factory schedule,

and it was all for nothing.

Fine, the first week of November. No more delays.

Ugh. Get off! Hey!

Hold on a second.

YEONHUI-DONG TWIN FISTS

Get back to work, guys.

- I'll be right back. - What a pain.

QUEENS HAIR SALON

Wow, looks delicious.

Just as I expected.

- The spinach is amazing. - I know.

You two.

Decide right now.

Whether you're getting married or breaking up.

Choose.

Jeez, Mom, are you crazy?

He has a permanent corporate job, a great salary, and solid benefits.

Why would Namgung settle

for a girl with no stability?

That doesn't make any sense.

He's like a brother to me. I don't want him to be unhappy either.

It's true, Mom!

Ho.

Don't let her fool you anymore.

Yes, Gang Dong-won is in. We have Chinese investors too.

29-YEAR-OLD LEE MI-DO

I think it'll happen faster than expected.

Anyway, Mom, just keep looking for an apartment.

Gong Yoo is confirmed.

He's split between a drama and a movie…

30-YEAR-OLD LEE MI-DO

…but he'll seal the deal next week once it's decided.

So just keep looking for an apartment, okay?

It's not my fault!

You think I wanted this? Is it my fault the studio went under?

32-YEAR-OLD LEE MI-DO

Whatever.

It was just a small price to pay for this film.

This time it's for real.

Keep looking for a nice apartment.

33-YEAR-OLD LEE MI-DO

The investors' response isn't bad,

so for real this time…

It's not 100% certain yet.

Still, keep looking for an apart...

Come on, Ms. Ma. Why bring up the past…

Actually, you do have a point.

She says it out of love, so you…

Just ignore it.

Here.

Ms. Ma, you saw all the articles about Mi-do's movie.

It's for real this time.

Yes, Mom, I saw it too.

Song Hae-na posted it online.

- Right. - Yes.

Making a movie doesn't guarantee anything, though.

Mom, so many movies these days never even get released.

What a shame.

Anyway, it's really certain this time.

Lee Mi-do only gets picked on here.

Out there, she's a respected director.

Enough.

You two promised, right?

That you'd get married once she becomes a director.

I'll give you six months. Do it by then.

But six months is…

Well, Mi-do's filming got delayed because of the snowy mountain scene,

and the editing...

If you factor all that in, when will you?

Whether the movie succeeds or fails,

you'll say no.

You're just making excuses.

Look at her. I just said a few words, and look.

That temper.

Do you have anything for indigestion?

Stomach issues again? Are you okay?

Hey, are you maybe…

No.

Just in case, don't take any medicine.

I said no, period.

How would you know?

It never hurts to be careful.

We haven't done it in six months.

Hey, are you out of your mind?

Why say that in front of your mom?

If I hadn't,

we'd be deciding whether to go to Guam or Cebu for our honeymoon.

You should be thanking me.

"Oh, really?"

"How thoughtful." Did you think I'd say that?

Honestly, I'm right, aren't I?

Hey, that's…

We've both been busy lately, so…

Has it been that long?

It was around…

Hey, don't count.

Right. I guess so.

I told you we shouldn't go.

She always does that around this time of year.

She's just doing that because she's worried about you.

It's just delayed because of your film.

We've thought about getting married.

So what, you actually want to get married?

Yes, I want to.

You don't want to?

It's not that I don't want to. I'm just scared.

I mean, marriage

is ending the second act of life and entering the third act,

and I haven't even done my second act right.

I mean, sure, I'm shooting a movie right now,

but I don't know how it'll turn out.

I know myself.

I'm selfish and self-centered.

If I marry you,

I'd probably settle into the comfort and security you provide,

stop writing, and leech off of you.

But I can't do that.

That would just be the absolute worst.

Then was I leeching off of you back then?

Hey.

My point, exactly.

Why call it "leeching off"?

Reliance, coexistence, care. Use better words.

No, I mean…

Drink up. You said your stomach's upset.

I have leftover abalone. Is porridge okay?

You were just picking at your food earlier.

I don't want porridge. Make fried rice.

You have an upset stomach. Just eat the porridge.

Do you remember that time?

During summer break in ninth grade.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Come. This way.

I was running with you on my back,

and you didn't feel heavy at all.

Lee Mi-do! Lee Mi-do!

Blood test.

Yes, Doctor.

I'll check your temperature.

And I found out later.

I had carried you ten kilometers in just 30 minutes.

So don't talk about leeching off of me.

With you on my back…

I get stronger.

I always have.

I guess you're like an energy booster. Something like that.

My movie might flop.

- Is that okay? - Yeah.

Even if I cling to you and do nothing but breathe forever?

Yeah, it can flop.

If I kill someone?

Hey.

I'm trying to be serious here.

Answer me.

Well…

I'd probably curse you out.

A whole lot.

But I'd bring you care packages in prison.

Carrots.

Cut them smaller. I hate chunks.

Yes, ma'am.

Why are you awake?

Namgung.

Is it really okay if my movie flops?

It's okay.

It's totally fine.

Just do your best with no regrets.

That's all you need to do.

Cut! Let's take a short break.

We're taking a break.

24 HOURS IS NEVER ENOUGH

I'm so sorry.

I've never done this genre before.

I actually debuted in Director Hwang Seung-ki's Manifesto.

I was a rising star,

doing all kinds of TV shows…

Oh, man. You don't know.

D flat? Or E?

Come again?

Ah, ah, ah.

Ah. Around this pitch.

Can you do that?

- Ah, ah, ah. - Yes.

If the guy moans at a higher pitch than the girl,

it ruins it.

Ah, ah.

Okay, we'll resume shooting in five minutes.

Got it.

The CEO also feels bad about how things turned out.

A press release about your departure will go out once we settle.

As for your replacement, we're trying to find

someone who can best match your style.

Because of the snow scene shoot in Daegwallyeong,

we have to wait a month anyway,

so there's no rush.

Do you have any questions?

I've been watching for 30 minutes,

and there are only four low-angle shots total.

You're late.

Why are you here?

Because it's before Actress Song Hae-na redid her nose.

Aha.

Anyway,

I didn't know you were so diligent.

It hasn't even been two weeks since you left the film,

and you're already on your next one.

It's impressive.

I'll be in a messy court battle soon,

and I'm dead broke.

Ahem.

Anything else?

Thank you for your hard work, Director.

Now, I'll speak as a high school friend,

not a producer, so listen carefully.

"Friend"?

As an old classmate.

I'm offering this advice out of whatever pity I have left.

Our lawyer will reach out about the settlement this week.

Don't fight it in court. Just sign it.

No.

Going to court will only get messy, as you said.

Why drag yourself through more mud?

That's why I'm doing it.

It's already a mess.

A little more dirt won't change a thing for me.

Thanks for the advice. Not that it helped.

TWO WEEKS AGO

Ms. Lee, we'll need high angles...

Ms. Lee.

Ms. Song Hae-na says she can't shoot today.

Why not?

She has a private brand event,

and her manager forgot about it.

Unbelievable.

What? What is it?

Ms. Lee, wait.

Hold on.

Allison Matin D Series.

Para Philippe. A Louis Vucci suit.

Cheongdam Louvacity Wine Bar.

Height between 180 and 185 centimeters.

The date was Wednesday, October 14th.

That was the exact day Hae-na canceled, claiming she had the flu.

Should I go on?

I told the assistant director.

My photocall got moved up.

You've been a no-show seven times out of 22 shooting days.

Ms. Lee.

You keep changing the storyboards,

lines, and even the shot list on set, right?

I tried to be understanding since you're a rookie,

but when the call sheet constantly differs from the actual shoot,

it confuses the actors.

I figured you needed more time,

and if I told you directly,

I thought it'd put you on the spot, so I was being considerate,

but it caused a misunderstanding.

So you did that for me?

I'm working with a rookie director.

This much hassle comes with the territory, I suppose.

The wire setup at the tank looked unsafe earlier.

How can I risk my life

on such a sloppy set?

We double-set the main wires,

and brought in auto-braking gear

to adjust the tension based on water depth.

The harness was fitted to your weight

down to 0.1 kg.

The water temperature is 24 degrees,

the tank pressure is normal,

and two safety divers are also on standby.

Satisfied?

Block them.

- Ms. Lee. - Stop right there.

You can't go in.

We have to film today!

Let's get ready. Rolling in five.

I said you can't go in!

Please calm down. First…

Are you crazy?

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

I won't let today slide.

He's a married man, right?

Strange how he was more careful than an actress.

He even switched cars twice on the way.

Your last-minute cancellations were tailored to his schedule.

Always on a weekday.

Every Monday,

you were always in terrible shape.

Super hysterical.

Have you been tailing me?

Yes.

And this is blackmail.

This movie might be just another gig to you,

but not to me.

I fought for this chance.

I'm working like my life depends on it.

It's do or die for me.

Unless you want your life ruined over a married guy,

you'd better cooperate.

Because I don't know what I'll do.

Let's get Hae-na ready in her harness.

Okay.

- Make sure it's secure. - Will do.

Ms. Lee.

Are you that scared of your life ending?

Then I should end it for you.

Your life, I mean.

Yeong-do says we're out of booze, so hurry.

Where are you? I'll pick you up.

Now this is what it's all about!

You scared me.

Wha… What?

The street lighting is terrible.

Top-down lighting ruins everything.

I saw some of your videos. You have an eye for composition.

The problem is you have no taste.

Whatever.

It's just a hobby.

I'll probably quit after a few.

You get your lying from your mom,

and your lack of skill from your dad.

People are trashing me saying I take after you, Auntie.

Whatever.

Auntie.

Were you a bully in kindergarten?

Ah, Lee Mi-do got kicked out of kindergarten.

- Twice, actually. - Oh, come on.

You know she carries trash around in her sleeves, right?

Emptying it for her is weirdly satisfying.

Oh, right. She wore the same socks for three days once.

I saw it.

- You saw it, right? - Yeah.

She still does.

Four days tops, though.

And you're still marrying her?

Knowing all that?

Snap out of it, Namgung!

Hey.

Give it up.

He has already heard 72 of her flaws and still takes her side.

That's true love, you know?

Hey, rather than marrying Lee Mi-do, just become a monk.

Don't say that in front of her.

She acts tough, but gets hurt easily.

- She brought it on herself. - Watch it.

Hey.

Does your heart still flutter when you see Lee Mi-do?

Does it go pitter-patter?

Yeah, it still flutters.

I miss her when she's not around, and I feel empty without her.

Even if we're together 24/7, I never get sick of her.

If anything, time goes by too fast.

How is this possible?

Honestly, it amazes me too.

HUNMIN CONFECTIONERY

Mr. Eom.

How could you stab me in the back like this?

What is your reason?

We already agreed to postpone the schedule.

Option one, you chickened out of asking General Manager Kang for a delay.

Option two, you chickened out of trying to meet the year-end pop-up schedule.

Option three,

you chickened out

because TF Snack Teams 1 and 5's products launch next month.

Tell me which one it is.

- So I can... - Option four.

He chickened out because the sample from TF Snack Team 5 was high quality.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were my manager.

I apologize.

There's no way Team 5's sample was that good.

Yesterday's sample actually was.

- Yesterday's? - We share R&D, so I've tried it.

They fixed the sweet and salty balance

that was lacking before.

I mean, nice aftertaste,

and a rich flavor.

It'll probably beat your team's internal survey scores.

Hmm.

So you're the one who wrote, "My condolences."

I'm Park Su-a from Snack Team 4.

You're Assistant Manager Namgung Ho

from TF Snack Team 3, right?

I know the reason why

the fourth sample had issues.

Want me to tell you?

DIRECTOR OH GYEONG-SU'S MONUMENTAL MASTERPIECE SET IN FLORENCE

WHEN THAT DAY COMES

INCOMING CALL

Nice to meet you.

I'm Han Tae-seung, attorney for Nobu Film.

This is our draft of the settlement.

Thought we'd put this on the table first.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

Take a look,

and let me know if you have any questions or revisions.

No full payment of the directing fee,

and a 3% copyright stake?

Since the fault lies on your end,

we ask for your understanding.

I can't accept this.

Because you forced the shoot,

Ms. Song Hae-na got injured.

She's still suffering from mental distress

and is refusing to film.

So you are clearly at fault here.

You make it sound like she broke a limb or something.

Above all, your exit

cost the production company more than expected.

Counting the wages of over 40 staff over the two-month delay

and the set rental fees alone,

it's over 300 million won.

What happens if I don't agree to this settlement?

I can't say for sure,

but maybe around next month,

"Director Lee Mi-do dismissed from Heartless

due to incompetence"

will be the headline.

But if you agree,

"Director Lee Mi-do steps down from Heartless…

due to health reasons"

is what the article will say.

The choice is entirely yours.

But I can't give you much time,

so by next week at the latest...

What is it?

Is something wrong?

No, I came in because you rang the bell.

Didn't you?

The bell?

I rang it.

Mind if I order something?

One bottle of Ravelo 4500,

a fruit platter,

and ice and sparkling water, please.

Sure, I'll bring them right away.

I'll send the finalized settlement next week.

You seem busy. You can go.

You remember Chairman Choi's case from last year, right?

The prosecution argued intent back then too,

but we got an acquittal.

Leave this to me,

and focus on your next project.

Yes?

So how many bottles have gone in?

Two 21-year Monterios, one 30-year, and the first bottle of Ravelo.

-Don't blame me -Me!

-For being -Being!

So cruel

-I chose to walk away for your sake -I chose to walk away for your sake

-Don't forget -Don't forget

-My love -Love!

You're inside my…

What do we do?

Don't take any more orders.

Yes, sir.

What a total nutjob.

Ms. Lee, are you going to sign the settlement?

Are you crazy? Why would she?

Still, we need to expose this tyranny

from the studio and the actor.

Hey, if this gets out of hand,

it'll only make things harder for her!

- Shut up, you're loud. - Why?

Everyone, stop.

You guys,

don't come to the motel starting tomorrow.

That's why I called you here.

I only brought you in temporarily because we were short-staffed.

I never meant to keep you.

Director Gong Ji-min is starting a movie,

so I asked him to hire you three.

Go and do a good job, okay? Don't embarrass me.

No way.

I want to keep working with you.

Lee Guk-jin, stop whining.

If you have time for that, write another line.

Off you go. Get up.

Huh?

Babe.

How did you know they were there?

They practically flaunted it on social media.

So you saw the post and went.

- Who threw the first punch? - This jerk.

He just lunged at me!

She cheated on me! How could I not be mad?

I've told you so many times that's not it!

Hey!

As if you did nothing wrong!

That's enough already.

This is all because of you.

Fired from your own movie and shooting porn.

Have some shame!

Why bring her into that mess as crew?

Ruin your own life if you want to.

Shooting an adult film isn't embarrassing.

What's embarrassing is your behavior.

And you're not helping Jang-mi.

What?

Are you out of your damn mind?

What the hell?

Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

Let me explain.

I heard it all. What's left to explain?

Song Hae-na went on a power trip, and you snapped again, right?

And you needed money for legal fees,

so you broke your promise and shot an adult film. Am I wrong?

I'm sorry.

Oh Yeon-ju's the producer?

Are you crazy? What are you doing?

You said there's no new director yet.

You still have a chance.

If it fails again, how will you face your mom?

What will you tell people this time?

How will you lie to yourself and pretend you're fine?

You're not fine.

You won't be fine.

You said you didn't care if it flopped.

What about you? Do you think it's fine?

Do you not care?

Why should you listen to people who say your life is ruined?

I made myself clear.

To do your best.

To have no regrets.

But that's not what you're doing.

You'll regret it. I know you will.

This is my problem.

I'll handle it.

Stop interfering.

Then don't make me worry!

Look where handling it got you!

That's as far as you got.

How can I just stand by?

You should have told me first,

- so I could help... - I didn't want you to know!

I'd rather die than have you see me like this.

It feels even more pathetic than I thought.

Ah.

So this is how it feels.

Let's talk for a second.

Earlier, I was…

Let's break up.

Hey, Lee Mi-do.

We should end it here.

Look, I was wrong earlier.

I shouldn't have spoken to you like that.

I only thought about my own feelings.

I'm sorry.

When did that start?

You said I was your driving force and compass.

Since when?

Yeah, it still flutters.

How is this possible?

Honestly, it amazes me too.

That's what I'd love to say, but it's not true.

I almost believed you.

What, so you don't get butterflies anymore?

It's been ten years with Lee Mi-do.

It'd be weird if I still did.

To me, Lee Mi-do is

my motivation to stay at my job

and my life's compass.

Every time I want to quit my job,

she's what keeps me holding on.

She's the compass

that keeps me from straying off track.

Just got to endure it for 30 years and it's over, right?

I can't wait to grow old.

I'm a heavy burden to you.

I bet it's overwhelming.

So let's just stop.

Hey, Mi-do.

It's not like that.

That's not what I meant.

You know how I really feel.

You don't get butterflies anymore, do you?

You said so yourself.

That I always made your heart race out of control.

Do you still feel that way?

You don't, right?

It's been ten years, Mi-do.

The rush can't last forever.

Namgung.

You didn't think I was heavy in middle school

because that's how much you loved me.

So what are you trying to say?

We're not like that anymore, so we should break up?

Fine.

You're right. We're not like before.

But still,

that doesn't erase our time together

or mean we don't love each other. It's just…

something that every couple goes through. The rush can't last forever.

I'll try harder.

Mi-do.

I think I've been neglecting you.

I'll try twice, three times as hard...

And I'll become that much more of a burden.

And I'll feel even more pathetic.

Namgung.

Your love…

No, your sense of responsibility, obligation, and guilt

makes me feel pathetic.

It makes me hate myself more and more.

What?

You know what?

I'm always walking on eggshells around you.

You see,

walking on eggshells and being considerate seem similar.

But…

Being considerate makes me feel like a better person.

But walking on eggshells just makes me feel pathetic.

And if I feel any more pathetic, I'll be done for good.

Mm-hmm.

So let's break up.

I make you feel pathetic?

Do you really want to break up?

Yes.

Is that really what you want?

I'll ask you one last time.

Think carefully.

Do you really want to break up?

Yes. Let's break up.

Okay.

Fine, let's break up.

LOVING YOU WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE

IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS, BUT I'M STILL GETTING TO KNOW YOU

LET'S KEEP BEING US AND STAY TOGETHER I LOVE YOU

Because our time together was so radiant,

and because it was so happy,

I fooled myself and you

into thinking

it was still the same, that nothing had changed.

Oh…

But we both know.

Our love no longer sparkles.

Our love is suffocatingly heavy.

Withered and pathetic.

MY BABY

- He's not picking up? - No.

- He's not? - No.

Wait, did those two fight?

Damn it.

What do we do?

What do you mean?

Everything is set and ready.

Try calling again.

TO THE ONE ALWAYS BY MY SIDE

Ugh, seriously.

MI-DO, WILL YOU MARRY ME?

And just like that,

our ten-year relationship came to an end.

NAMGUNG-TUSH

Hello?

Wake up, Lee Mi-do.

Mmm, I'm getting up.

I love you, love you, mwah.

Me too. I love you, love you, mwah.

Oh!

Oh? It's snowing.

SHORT FILM SCREENING

Wow, they said we'd get our first snow today.

The Liar Agency was actually right.

DIRECTOR LEE MI-DO

LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT FILM

WISHING YOU GOOD HEALTH

Did you happen to see who wrote this?

Umm…

He just walked out a moment ago.

Ms. Lee, your interview starts soon.

Ms. Lee!

AFTER SPRING COMES WINTER

Namgung is leaving for Australia today.

You know his older friend from college

who runs a big Korean restaurant there.

He asked Namgung to go into business with him.

He said he's so done being friends with you.

He's sick and tired of you.

He even hates Korea because of you.

He'll come back once he gets over you.

The next buses are 6716, 603…

You can chase me,

but don't stop halfway.

Lee Mi-do, you…

never come to me

if I don't come to you first.

You said you're done being my friend.

That's right.

I'm done.

You're so high-maintenance. I can't.

I know what you're afraid of.

Because I was terrified too.

But…

but Mi-do…

What you're worried about won't happen.

That cliché routine of dating and breaking up…

won't happen to us.

How can you be sure?

Because I love you so much.

More than you think.

So much that even I can't handle it.

I love you so much.

The day we went from friends to lovers,

the first snow fell in Seoul.

After that, our anniversary wasn't a specific date,

but the day the first snow fell in Seoul.

We welcomed nine first snows together,

madly in love.

And before the tenth,

we broke up.

THANK YOU TO OH DONG-MIN FOR HIS SPECIAL APPEARANCE

You're going to make up anyway.

Aren't you worried about Lee Mi-do?

I told you I broke up with her.

We split it 50-50.

- Don't change your mind later. - You too.

The Spicy SweeTato Chips were the worst.

I smoke those, too.

The person who got me smoking in high school smoked those.

Show up like this again and you're dead.

Since you want it so badly, I'll see you in court.

-What is it this time? - Just don't worry about it!

But I can't help it.

The passion we had back then… the butterflies…

where did it all go?
