A LOVE OTHER THAN YOURS

ALL PERSONS, LOCATIONS, RELIGIONS, INCIDENTS, AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS DRAMA

ARE FICTITIOUS

CHILD ACTORS HAVE FILMED SAFELY UNDER PARENTAL SUPERVISION

SCENES INVOLVING ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY WITH EXPERT ADVICE AND COOPERATION

Why would you go that far for me?

What do you want from me?

I know one thing.

It's not because of the settlement.

Wait, wait, Namgung, let me explain what happened.

Let go of my arm, please.

Explain?

What's to explain?

You said I shouldn't worry.

That nothing happened.

Hey, Mi-do.

I honestly don't know what I was thinking that day.

Everything I said.

I didn't mean a word.

It was the alcohol.

I was so drunk that day, I wasn't even thinking straight.

Will you cut the crap?

I'm not in the mood to hear it right now.

I'm sorry.

A LOVE OTHER THAN YOURS

ARE WE ALLIES OR ENEMIES?

HANGYEOL ORPHANAGE

Yes, Chairman.

I heard Seong-hyeon won first place again.

Congratulations.

I'll make sure to keep Tae-seung in line.

I talked to Reporter Ko, so you don't need to worry about a thing.

Yes. I'll be in touch with you shortly.

Tae-seung, what did I always tell you?

You must share and give all the time.

That makes you a good kid.

You're wrong.

I won't do it.

I'll tip off another reporter.

Wait, no.

I'll even go to the news stations.

From now on, I'll never…

I swear it,

take tests for someone else.

Mr. Han Tae-seung.

This is Kim Jeong-hwan from Line Intercontinental.

An acquaintance?

INCOMING CALL

Is this Attorney Han Tae-seung on the line?

Who is this?

I'm from Line Intercontinental.

Kim Jeong-hwan.

I'm calling with a tip.

You're about to fuck up your entire life for next to nothing.

Take the cash and go to that address.

Don't pick up any calls until you hear from me.

This isn't for me.

It's for you.

If you want to live and keep this money, do as I say.

Oh…

I thought it was just a joke.

So he was a researcher after all.

This is Kim Jeong-hwan's last known location.

Coincidentally, it's an alley near Jaekang Law Firm.

Can you confirm where you were at that time, sir?

The day of Seoul's first snow?

I think…

Jaekang Law Firm's security was hacked.

The security cameras weren't available to check.

Can anyone verify your whereabouts after 10:00 p.m.?

No, sir.

Nobody can.

You honestly didn't see Kim Jeong-hwan?

It's a bit shocking you didn't see a guy walking into a building.

That was before I knew he ran off with internal data.

I figured Line was playing dirty tricks before the trial, so I ignored it.

No matter what happens, we have to find that data

and Kim Jeong-hwan before Jisang does.

Don't worry about it.

I'm looking into every connection,

including trying to track down his old sweetheart.

Then I'm good.

And don't worry about the police.

The higher-ups will sort it out.

Attorney Lee.

What the hell is taking so long?

What?

An hour.

Living room console.

Inside it, there's a silver safe.

But what you're looking for won't be in there, so…

You hear that?

Bring it here now.

Since when did you know?

I found out on the 3rd that Line was raided by the FSS.

And yesterday I found a Malaysian account I didn't know existed.

There was some guy who deposited money into it.

It was Director Bang from the Line.

Forty-five minutes ago?

Things got complicated with Line's succession issue.

If Assemblyman Shin's airport project fails, it'll get worse.

We'll handle the settlement outside of court.

Think of it as a few years off.

Cooperate with them.

What if I say no?

I'll assume you have…

Kim Jeong-hwan's data.

You think that's all I got?

For the past five years, I've been working under you.

You got one week.

Handle my police investigation first.

Otherwise, your father-in-law will be the first to be investigated.

Did they fight?

Still, why would he ghost us for days like this?

Namgung!

Hey, you in there?

Mi-do.

What?

Mi-do.

CHAT YEONG-DO

Hey Namgung, good job.

I don't know what's going on, but Mi-do looks completely wrecked

and is really sorry.

Anyway, Namgung, is it this Friday or next week?

The pickup for Mom's blood pressure meds.

Nothing's wrong, right?

Where are you staying right now?

The card reader broke again.

Got the repair center number?

MIDORI

Come back home.

I'll move out.

You can't sleep well anywhere else.

Let me ask you this.

Am I the reason you're a film director?

It's not like that, Namgung.

It's not.

Then what was that scumbag saying?

He said you wanted to run away, but you were too ashamed to tell me.

I was just so exhausted.

It was the heat of the moment.

Honestly, I should have just given up after all this failure.

But that was too hard.

You were the excuse.

Actually, Namgung,

while shooting this film, I realized something.

My skill set is completely pathetic.

I truly don't have what it takes to shoot a film of this scale.

And I'm not lying.

I swear.

I'm not as good a director as you think I am.

It's not because of bad luck or lack of opportunity.

I just have no talent.

I'm terrible, aren't I?

I surely let you down.

You really are some piece of work.

Why are you telling me this now?

I'm not an idiot.

I know you want me to pity you and let this slide.

Why?

To you, am I just some dumb sucker

who believes it's the end of the world if you're hurt?

You're using me right now.

You're using your misery against me

because you know I fucking care about you!

You're right.

I'm using you.

So I'm just asking you one more time.

Please let everything go again.

No, I can't.

I can't see you the same.

And I've thought about it a hundred times over.

We need to rethink this wedding.

So please leave if you're done.

You shouldn't get too comfortable here.

Only until you're completely healed.

Hey, don't give me that cute look!

You're a living thing, so I'd have to take care of you for life,

and I don't think I can handle that.

I'm looking for a good adopter, so just wait.

I'm thinking of one perfect adopter.

Bambi, it's someone you know too,

and he has some experience as a cat dad.

And I bet you'd prefer someone you know over a total stranger, right?

I already asked him, and sent your picture just in case.

Oh, right, he read it and didn't reply.

Bambi, let me show you, okay?

Hey, take a look.

This is too much, right?

Sure, he's been going through a rough patch lately.

But even though I clearly sent this message

because I was worried about him,

ghosting is rude.

Look, I wrote this huge text.

And you're so cute.

Yeah.

He can leave me on read.

I don't matter.

TF TEAM 3 NAMGUNG HO

Why is…

Why is that picture there?

HUNMIN CONFECTIONERY

HUNMIN CONFECTIONERY

I made the sugar adjustment you requested.

Surface moisture is 0.8 lower than the fourth batch.

I let it cool so it won't be hot.

Sir?

Mr. Namgung.

Oh, right.

We followed the recipe, but they have a weird aftertaste, right?

These sweet potatoes.

Usually the farm delivers a small batch to us,

but I had to go to the Cheonan factory, so I grabbed a few from there.

The factory manager found out later and threw a huge fit.

Any sweet potatoes left?

There's no way you could have used them all.

… well, Mr. Namgung took them this morning.

The left side is slippery.

You knew when you took them, right?

Where are the sweet potatoes?

And why exactly should I tell you?

Those are imported. I know for sure.

Imports have different pesticide levels.

Testing them will give us solid evidence.

The Bread Pie Mass Rebate incident.

Heard of it?

Yeah.

It's a famous case.

Manager Eom was part of that team.

People think that they were caught in an audit and fired.

It wasn't like that.

They were demoted.

It was retaliation.

They were about to blow the whistle.

Except for Manager Eom,

the rest of the team, they all quit within a calendar year.

He couldn't afford to quit.

His oldest plays the piano.

She was way too good at it.

They might have demoted him or transferred him

to a plant in the middle of damn nowhere.

He'd be shunned by the team and denied promotions.

Who could endure all that?

Manager Eom said he'd have quit if his daughter were just smart.

Unfortunately, she's a complete prodigy.

You're trying to scare me.

That's why you say that.

I forgot the most important part.

They even went and dug up his family history.

His wife was the victim of a crime severe enough to make the news.

They posted it on the company chat.

This issue might be a little more complex than you realize.

I'm prepared for that.

You're managing everything just fine.

I can do that too.

I don't think so.

I'm actually struggling.

Even more than you think.

- Have a good night. - You too. Have a good night.

Oh, Su-a.

Your report got rejected again?

Let's just head out.

I'll stay a bit longer.

You can go ahead.

Oh, really? Okay.

Well, actually, I was going

to suggest we go cheer up Assistant Manager Gung.

- Careful, be careful. - Whoa, this is…

Okay, I got it.

Whoa.

Wow…

Jeez, Mr. Namgung.

You must be really having a hard time.

Yes, hello? Is this the driver?

No!

We're at exit four, not exit three.

It's on the opposite side.

No!

Not exit three. Wait.

Mr. Namgung, are you actually that drunk?

What you told me was a lie, right?

To make me throw in the towel.

Is this an act too?

One bottle of soju can't make you this drunk.

Are you lying about this too?

Okay then, since you're really drunk,

can I tell you something?

Because I might never get another chance.

Mr. Namgung,

I really…

I like…

And the sweet potatoes.

Have you thrown them away?

No, you wouldn't dare, right?

They're gone.

What?!

You did?

Okay.

Where did you throw them away?

Maybe Route 6…

Come again?

Maybe Route 6.

Maybe-- Maybe Route 6?

Route 6.

From Incheon Center to Seoul!

Keep your joints healthy

until you're 80.

Knee slap.

What?

Keep your 20-year-old joints healthy until you're 80.

Knee slap.

You threw them at the "20-year-old joints" sign?

Knee slap, knee slap… Knee slap!

Of course.

By the Dongbo Pharma billboard.

There's a field and a drain.

Am I right?

Hey, tell me, you dumped them there?

Mi-do…

Mi-do…

Did she skip today again?

Did she really quit directing or what?

Is there a way to see inside?

Hey, Tae-seung, you're late.

We started without you.

Could you tell me what is going on?

What does it look like?

I specifically begged Director Lee.

I asked her to help you out, just this once.

Sit down.

It seems Tae-seung hid it because he was afraid of causing you trouble.

He's in a tough spot right now.

We are desperate, so your testimony would come in handy.

I suppose you have a lot to talk about.

I'll be on my way now.

I have a big trial.

I have no idea what Seo told you before I arrived, but--

I'm not testifying.

I don't buy everything he says,

but I don't want to be involved with you anymore.

I wouldn't have come if I'd known you'd be here.

So I'm leaving now.

If you don't testify, my career as a lawyer is over.

You still won't do it?

You got the skills, Tae-seung.

I know you're very, very resourceful.

You'll find a way out.

No, I'm serious.

If you don't testify, my whole life is screwed.

You really won't testify?

No.

Wow.

Well, that's harsh.

I'm not being harsh.

You fell into this trap because you work for a man like him.

Just grit your teeth and happily carry on.

You can do it.

A trap?

A trap.

This wasn't a trap at all.

I threw that trial.

But I lost on purpose.

And that whistleblower?

I just met him that day, you know?

I don't buy it.

That was the day…

While you were sleeping, I went there and handled the issue.

Ten minutes.

That's all it took.

I work at a pretty fast pace.

Fine, Director Lee.

Keep treating me like this.

Keep ignoring me like I'm invisible.

If I lose my mind and call, don't answer.

Even if I show up.

Ignore me.

Same goes for Seo Ju-hyeok.

This better be the last time you come running at his call and command.

Or else…

I'll make sure you won't have a place to run.

What happened?!

You said you wiped everything, the video and the logs.

Yeah, I wiped everything.

Then how does Seo Ju-hyeok know Mi-do?

How the hell does he know?

Oh, because I gave them to him.

I'm sorry, but Seo's offer was just too good to pass up.

But I didn't give up the whistleblower.

That's my final act of loyalty after three years.

Best of luck to you.

Everything you said was true?

Answer me.

Is it all true?

You lost the trial on purpose,

and also decided to put that so-called whistleblower up to it?

So what?

Are you going to the cops to snitch?

Just answer me!

Am I right?

Yeah, you're right.

What's up with you?

Thought you knew I was a piece of shit.

Oh yes, I knew.

But I'd hope you'd be a plastic can that takes ten years to rot.

But I see now that you're not.

You really are a tin can shit!

A tin can shit that takes over 200 years to decompose!

So what is it you want me to do, hush?

Who cares if I'm a tin can piece of shit?

I already told you I'd never come to see you again.

I already told you I'd get out of your fucking life!

So what the hell is your issue right now?

I'm losing it because you're even more pathetic than I thought!

It completely pisses me off that I hurt the person I love most

over a pathetic bastard like you.

Shut the fuck up.

I'm a fucking crazy bitch.

I'm a crazy bitch for having feelings for this bastard.

Mi-do.

Mi-do. Mi-do!

Are you awake?

Mi-do.

Do you feel okay?

How did I get here?

Did you forget?

There was a crash.

I'll get a doctor.

No, wait. I'm fine.

You're not fine. Don't say that.

I know I can be a bit impulsive.

I may have startled you.

I'm sorry.

Your brother is on his way.

A guardian is required for you to take the tests.

He happened to call, so I explained the whole situation.

He should be here by now.

Come with me.

Hey, what?

I… I didn't want to answer the phone either.

The thing is, my car hit you, so I'm the one at fault here.

Leaving now would cause a lot of issues.

You're already on the wrong side of the law.

One more charge won't make a difference.

… what?

I'm hurt and tired, so just keep walking, okay?

Okay.

Okay, I'll go.

I said I'm coming.

Hey, you need to be careful right now.

Are you in pain?

Do you feel pain anywhere else?

What about you?

Did you get hurt in the crash?

I know you're terrified of needles.

You're not hurt, are you?

You piece of shit!

Who the hell are you?

Hey, Mi-do, are you okay? Are you hurt?

I saw you grabbing Mi-do.

What the hell, scumbag?

Fucking prick.

- Why did you lay your hands on her? - Yeong!

What are you doing?

Let go of him. What is this?

Are you okay, Mi-do?

Hey, Mi-do, tell me, who's this asshole?

I said that's enough!

He was in the army with me.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere else?

Hey, Mi-do.

I was really scared.

You took ten years off my life.

What the hell is going on today?

I think you got the wrong idea here.

Miss Lee and I…

don't have anything.

I just liked her, so I started following her around.

She wasn't interested.

I mean it.

Not buying it?

You didn't even try to fool me, just spouting nonsense.

Wow.

Clever.

Do you have any idea what you did wrong?

So many things.

What do you know?

I know exactly one thing for sure.

Mi-do got hurt, and you're just fine.

What were you doing while her arm got crushed?

You couldn't even protect her at all.

Stay away from Mi-do, you hear?

Or you'll regret it.

I had my reasons.

I know everything I say will sound as an excuse.

Just tell me how miserable you actually want to make me.

Do you have any idea what you've done?

You turned all our time together into a complete waste.

So you had your reasons.

You had no other choice.

You don't know why you did it either?

Just be honest for once.

You didn't give a damn if I got hurt, whether it affected me or not,

or if our time ended up in the trash!

You just selfishly did whatever the hell you wanted!

Is that what you really think?

Do you really think…

it didn't matter if you got hurt?

Or if all our time together was ruined,

that I ignored all of that and thought only of myself?

Am I wrong?

You are.

Yes, you are.

It was agonizing for me too.

You're everything to me, Namgung.

You're still the most precious person in my life.

I could never hurt you, not after everything you've been through.

I've tried so hard to hide it from you.

That made me hate myself even more than I already did.

Actually, I fought so hard to hide it from myself.

Do you have any idea how all your words sound to me?

I was so crazy about him, I couldn't hold back.

You meant nothing! That's the only thing I'm hearing!

I know!

I had a crush!

I was flustered!

Every day was the same routine.

Movies stopped being fun a while ago.

I had no hope for my future, and I'm getting older.

And so I thought to myself, oh…

I'm just going to keep going like this until I'm old.

And then my heart fluttered.

If I say I felt like he suddenly lit up my bleak, dark life,

would you believe it?

No.

It's just a pathetic excuse to justify it.

That's all it is.

I'm sure sugarcoating it makes you feel good.

The thing is…

I feel I'm being punished whenever you act like this.

We never should have dated in the first place.

Before we ruin each other even more, let's get out of each other's lives, yeah?

What's this?

Did you see the notice just now?

…powdered milk at 19%, and raw sugar at 16%.

Raw material prices are soaring…

MANAGER EOM HO-SIK

DISCIPLINARY NOTICE

SUBJECT NAMGUNG HO IS HEREBY SUSPENDED FOR ONE WEEK

Namgung Ho?

That assistant manager?

There's a lot of talk about loan sharks.

He must have taken a bribe.

Didn't he fix that outsourcing rate with their CEO behind the scenes?

By the Dongbo Pharma billboard.

There's a field and a drain, am I right?

Hey, tell me, you dumped them there?

TO: ACE Q-LAB FOOD ANALYSIS INSTITUTE

Still slippery on the left side.

This is all my fault.

I put a GPS on Mr. Oh's truck last week.

I think that's what went wrong.

The thing is…

I tried to be really careful.

I used five VPNs to hide my identity.

And I only paid with crypto.

Even if the GPS was discovered…

It can't be.

Any sweet potatoes left?

There's no way you could have used them all.

… Mr. Namgung took them this morning.

That's what you keep saying.

It was a trap from the start.

The sweet potatoes from Cheonan Factory was a trap all along.

The texture got too crunchy.

I told them to make it denser.

Man, the frozen department is lazy with the desserts.

You did it intentionally, didn't you?

You knew it was a trap and you went for it.

It's not that serious.

At worst, the team disbands,

I get a pay cut and sent to a factory.

Maybe a transfer to another department.

You know why?

Because I'm completely clean.

Su-a.

Now is not the time to zone out.

Pull yourself together.

If they think it's me and drop their guard,

you can investigate.

And you need to investigate to settle this.

So I can come back to the team.

But this still isn't right.

I'll say what I know.

Then this whole thing gets buried forever.

I'm not gonna dig deeper.

So you do it.

Only you can investigate.

Why'd you change your mind so suddenly?

You didn't want me doing this.

That was a lie.

I really thought you were impressive.

I thought you were amazing, actually.

So you should keep going.

Do what's right.

That's him.

Hey, sir.

Your phone keeps ringing.

45 MISSED CALLS FROM YEONG-DO

I wasn't snooping or anything.

I checked just in case.

YEONG-DO

What is this?

Namgung, did you know about this?

DIRECTOR LEE MI-DO QUITS SONG HAE-NA FILM REPLACED BY DIRECTOR NA SEUNG-HO

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable

at the tone…

Still no word from her?

She's not answering her phone. What do we do?

She always hides when there's trouble.

Every freaking time!

How many times did I say she was going to fail?

She should have quit when her film tanked five years ago!

That brat would be better off doing hair.

I'm going to make her quit drinking for good.

Why did she even try to make movies in the first place?

I don't get it.

Yeong.

Yeah, I'm really sorry.

I can barely even look at your face.

When she gets back here, I'm going to chew that brat out

for losing her mind and wasting her youth.

I'll knock some sense into her.

Shut your mouth.

If you ever talk like that in front of Mi-do…

I won't overlook that.

You'd be dead to me.

Mi-do is the most affected by this.

What do you even know about her struggle?

Guys.

Ms. Ma, I know you're disappointed in your daughter.

But I know she gave it her all.

If you see her, please just pretend this didn't happen, or she'll fall apart.

I'm begging you.

I'll call you when I find her.

Welcome, sir.

MIDORI

The person you're trying to reach is unavailable.

Stay away from Mi-do, you hear?

Or you'll regret it.

And what about you?

What did you do for her?

You have no idea why she was in that accident.

You wouldn't talk like that if you knew.

You better watch your damn mouth.

There's only so much I can take.

You really have no idea.

Do you think Mi-do only shattered her arm?

That's not all.

She's broken on the inside.

We've acquired the dashcam footage from the vehicle

that hit Han Tae-seung.

It's a bit sensitive, but please, check the video first.

When did it all start?

Mi-do slowly withering away.

Namgung, is it really okay if my movie flops?

You said it didn't matter if my movie flopped.

I'm terrible, aren't I?

I disappointed you.

Mi-do was…

without a doubt, the brightest person I ever knew.

She was always the main character of this whole story.

In recognition of outstanding achievement

at the Seoul Youth Film Festival hosted by the Garam Foundation,

we hereby present this award.

YEONUL HIGH SCHOOL 2009 YOUTH FILM FESTIVAL

GRAND PRIZE LEE MI-DO, YEONUL HIGH SCHOOL

Every person I knew had love for you.

Your dreams made me feel butterflies.

And I couldn't help but love you even more for it.

YEONUL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

You know,

when I was young,

I never once imagined that I'd…

end up being a pathetic adult.

I was crazy. So young and arrogant.

But the more humiliating thing

is the side of me you're seeing right now.

I only ever wanted to show you the best side of me.

And I always ended up showing you the worst.

That's something I hate.

Your hands are really cold.

You need to go home.

Don't you hate me even a little?

After how I treated you?

Why don't you… What?

Mi-do…

I want you to listen to me very carefully.

I haven't lost my mind at all,

and I'm dead serious about this.

Please go see that guy.

That guy…

who lit up your bleak, dark life.

Go see him now.

A LOVE OTHER THAN YOURS

Even if we put him on the anchovy boat?

He's relentless.

We need someone to get samples.

You know that Su-a has feelings for you.

Should I just accept being dragged around by you?

Living in fear of being discarded?

You should have flat-out denied it.

Why haven't you done that?

There's nothing happening between us.

He doesn't even know that I like him.

Then you do it too.

You see other women as well.
