SURELY TOMORROW

DONGWOON DAILY

A MONTH LATER

[Kyeong-do] I didn't know.

Ah, you didn't know.

Listen, it's been over a month since the article

about Seo Ji-woo getting divorced was published.

I know.

But the article was released by who? Oh, I know.

-The paper across the street, right? -Yeah.

But that article didn't get numbers like it is now.

Would they be trying to steal you from me?

Huh? No, ma'am.

Then why are their views and readership suddenly so high,

Assistant Manager Lee Kyeong-do?

-I had nothing to do with that article. -Really?

Are you being serious?

HER DIVORCE, WAS THERE ANOTHER REASON?

You had a meeting around the corner, didn't you?

The same cafe

where you went on and on about quitting your job after I yelled at you once.

Is that so?

It's blurry, but that's you, obviously.

We all know that it's you. Right, Kyeong-do?

[laughs] Don't use my first name. We're at work.

[both laughing]

Sorry.

Assistant Manager Lee. God, I'm so done.

Hey!

Look behind you at your co-workers, huh?

Your juniors are working their asses off to find an exclusive story today,

and what the hell do they get?

Their assistant manager being an idiot here

and providing intel to all our rivals.

-Why don't you take a look at these views? -But those are for Seo Ji-woo, though.

-Are you being serious right now? -I'm sorry.

[exhales frustratingly]

When this was taken,

she really hadn't told you about her divorce?

-No. -Are you telling me the truth?

I didn't know.

Cross my heart.

[sighs]

[grunts]

If you're not busy, then you can help me pack.

How about that?

-Are you going on vacation? -[groans loudly]

There was no damn point, was there? Just a waste all along.

There was no point in devoting my entire life to my job,

all those meals I bought you all.

No point, none! What was the point of any of this shit?

Boss, what are you doing?

I'm quitting, obviously.

Oh, uh, could you be a dear and pack all of that for me?

-Why are you messing around right now? -I'm sorry, what?

Do you really think that I'm joking?

You're the reason I'm quitting my job, okay?

You can go to Chicago for training, and I can go home.

[laughs]

My, how the tables have turned, hmm?

Oh my god. I feel like a basket case.

God damn it, I'm so pissed off right now.

Well, they were paid to take this photo.

But even still...

They couldn't capture Ji-woo's beauty.

[knocking at door]

Come in.

Hmmm.

Shouldn't we squash these articles on her?

What for?

-They don't involve the company. -What about him?

-Why? -Well, you know...

It's a pretty big scandal to get a divorce.

-It really looks bad for the company. -But this isn't a company matter.

I'm telling you,

Back when Ji-woo was caught with those pot-smoking kids at the club.

It hurt the company's reputation. Don't deny it.

But Ji-woo never smoked any of it, did she?

Ji-yeon, you know what the public's like. They don't care about facts.

More importantly...

what about her husband?

Well, now they're divorced.

Jin-eon, her ex-husband. You wrote that story, didn't you?

I did?

Must have been hard for you to watch how she turned out like it was for me.

[scoffs]

What are you implying?

Or did I remember that wrong?

Anyway, thanks to you, she was able to get out.

[inhales deeply] I mean,

it's really thanks to An Da-hye, don't you think?

[both chuckle softly]

You're like a celebrity now. The pop star of Dongwoon Daily.

Hey, if I buy you coffee, will you shut up?

Yep. [laughs]

Turn around, turn around.

-Come on. Keep walking. -[laughing] Getting married, huh?

[sighs] God, why?

-Hello. -Oh, hi.

[laughs]

Be straight with me, Kyeong-do, yeah?

Is Seo Ji-woo going to Chicago too?

Training at a university there was all part of your plan?

-Don't you have economies to write about? -Oh, sure.

I'm just curious about JARIM Apparel's future.

That does make sense as an economics journalist.

You traitor.

[laughs] Wait, so did you and Doo-jin plan this all out?

You got her to divorce first, so she'd be single and...

Ah!

-And you still owe me money. -Ah!

-Jeez, didn't have to kick me that hard. -Hey, don't be like that.

You should look in the mirror.

Whether you hit it big or you step in shit,

-that's gonna be on you. -How about this for a headline?

Reporter Kim Doo-jin and pop idol seen on a date.

Stop.

I'll buy coffee.

-Last week, we broke up. -Be good then.

Yep.

-Wait, you haven't even had lunch yet? -[chuckles softly]

Your brother-in-law wanted to eat together, so I waited.

[chuckles]

Take a page out of my book and get divorced already.

Both sisters can't get divorced, can we?

When it comes to men, both of our pickers are broken.

[both chuckle]

[cell phone vibrating]

MOM

[cell phone vibrating]

Hi, Mom.

She can never stay out of trouble, can she?

Do you know who that man in the photograph is?

Mom, Ji-woo doesn't have to explain everyone she spends her time with.

It's not a big deal, so you should go work out.

And don't call and bother her. Bye.

[sighs]

Why'd they take that picture? It's not like I'm a celebrity or anything.

-I really don't get it. Do you? -[coughs]

Except that you are a celebrity.

Whatever you wear, people want to know the price and brand.

-You should be an ambassador. -I'd better get out of here.

-It's become a whole mess. -What'd he say?

The man in the picture? Lee Kyeong-do, right?

He's probably regretting the whole meeting.

-Why did you meet? -I... No reason.

-Just to talk about the article. -So you're aware.

His information's all out there now.

You should probably take him with you, don't you think?

Oh, he's not bothered.

He said we'd see each other at one of our funerals.

If that's the case, is the first one to light incense the winner or loser?

Wow, you two.

You still haven't grown up even though it's been so many years.

Well, he started it.

Oh, why are you going to England?

Now that you're divorced,

go on a girl's trip, or let's go work out together.

Or you could learn the ropes around here too.

I'm going so you wouldn't make me work.

I'm sick of everything.

I know you want to go, but consider this. What did Kyeong-do do wrong?

Because of you, poor guy might die a single man.

[laughs] What the hell? You can go if you're done.

I'm not done eating, so...

[Ji-woo] Whatever. Anyway, isn't this good?

[Ji-yeon] Yeah, good job. [slurps]

[Nam-sook] Who else would say that?

Of course it was Deaconess Lee. She's the neighborhood busybody.

She knows everything.

If she hears something juicy, she won't let it go.

Oh no, she'd tell the whole world.

She's just a friend. An old friend.

Well, that's disappointing.

-Wait, what are you disappointed about? -[doorbell rings]

Laundry's here.

[chuckles] 12,000 won.

Oh, I'll pay you in the morning.

I have to go and prepare dinner for my kids.

-Oh, sure, sure. Go ahead. -Nice doing business with you.

I heard she's the daughter of a big corporation.

I hoped you were marrying into a rich family.

Mom, you're a deaconess.

Shouldn't you be a little less materialistic?

'Cause I'm materialistic, I haven't become a senior deaconess.

Oh Lord.

I know you'll handle your business.

I got a lot on my plate here. I can't pray for more.

Don't worry, okay?

My company released an article on her divorce, which upset her.

It's nothing.

-[doorbell rings] -Laundry delivery.

[bright music playing]

Oh! [grunting]

Oh god.

God, it's all your fault.

Ah, Seo Ji-woo!

[grunts]

Oh, my ankle...

-[door opens] -[bell chimes]

Hey, you're headed to the US. You get to go to Chicago for training.

-Why do you care? -Because I can't go on like this.

'Cause I need to clear my name before I go.

It feels like everyone's whispering about me, even at work.

Anyway, it's been awful.

It'll all blow over soon. No one cares about you.

My mom even knows 'cause all her little friends are gossiping about it.

But, yeah, good for Ji-woo that she can just fly off to England or whatever.

But what am I supposed to do? I'm just a regular person.

So what will you do, Kyeong-do?

Well, I, uh... I need you to help me out.

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs in satisfaction]

It's not, I mean, the worst idea in the world, is it, really?

[sighs]

-And why would I do that? -It'd be like... It'd be like a reunion.

Consider it something like that for old time's sake.

We could all just meet up for a cup of tea and take a commemorative photo.

Hmm.

Because Kyeong-do is being awkwardly Kyeong-do.

Huh, that's funny. And he sent you here to do this today?

-Huh? -He's the one who needs it,

so why'd he send you?

Mmm. Guilt or...

[sighs] Or he's embarrassed.

Se-yeong, do you know what that man said?

See you at the funeral.

See you at the funeral.

Yeah, he doesn't have the balls to face me now. That's what's going on.

[scoffs] I guess then he should have thought about that before saying it.

Kyeong-do. Seriously?

Why'd he say that?

-Take me there. -Where?

Where is that asshole? Working?

No. It's the weekend.

You're right.

Great.

-[doorbell rings] -Who is it?

Oh god. What the hell?

Figured you could talk to her in person. Why not?

Not gonna invite me in?

-I have to be going. Buh-bye. -Se-yeong, don't do this.

Knock it off. This is messed up. No, Se-yeong!

Talk to each other. Work things out!

Bye! See you!

[sighs frustratingly] Shit, shit, shit.

[amusing music playing]

[whimpers, sighs heavily]

Ah, shit.

-[sighs] -[door lock beeping]

SURELY TOMORROW

EPISODE 2

[door closes]

[Kyeong-do grunts]

How can Se-yeong bring a stranger to my house without warning me?

-That's hypocritical. -Hypocritical?

-Don't you feel a little selfish? -What?

-How so? -You did it first.

You also brought a stranger into someone's home without warning her.

[Kyeong-do] Thank god. I'm glad you had your wallet with you.

SPRING, 2007

-Did the taxi cost a lot? -Huh?

Uh, don't worry. I had a little saved up.

You should have called me. Then I would've gone to Seoul to get you.

[chuckles softly] You'd taxi? Wouldn't it be expensive?

-Ah, I'd have to borrow it from the guys. -[both chuckle]

So what is this place?

That's Se-yeong's house.

Ah. And that's where we're gonna stay?

-Uh... Everyone else sleeps here too. -They all do?

Yeah, it's cool. Don't worry.

-Ah. -We have to walk up quietly, though.

[gate creaks noisily]

[gate creaks softly]

[comical music playing]

-Right here? Is this where we're going? -Yes, yeah, go up.

-Be careful. -Okay.

Come in.

See that bed? We have to get over there.

[Woo-sik snoring]

[Woo-sik continues snoring]

[groaning]

It's all right.

Be careful.

[Woo-sik groaning]

I need to text something.

-With my phone? -Yeah.

-Who are you texting? -It's my uncle.

[Woo-sik] Go to sleep.

Okay.

[Woo-sik yawning] Hi, Ji-woo.

Hey, guys, how are you?

Can I say hello too?

You guys are such hypocrites.

[chuckles softly]

[sighs in embarrassment]

[mellow song playing]

[sighs softly]

[both snickering]

I'm confused. Don't you all have your own places though?

-[both] Yeah. -Then why do you stay at Se-yeong's?

-That's what I want to know as well. -Is the hangover food ready yet?

-What's your reason? -Woo-sik and I are roommates.

-Ah. -Now you're latching onto me too.

-Why don't you have some noodles? -Thank you for the food.

You said you were going home. Why come back?

-Seriously, it's because I love you. What? -[all laugh]

[Woo-sik] Serving up 'tude this early in the morning.

You're welcome.

-Consider it an alternative for kimchi. -Can't feed myself with that.

Hey, what's douchebag taste like? Stop it, Jesus Christ!

-You're a deep-fried douchebag. -Hey! How dare you!

What is wrong with you? [groans]

-You're so annoying. I'm sick of you. -You gonna eat that?

Of course I'm gonna eat it! You guys are assholes.

-[Chung-won] Did you eat? -[Ji-woo] Yep, I had something delicious.

If your mom finds out where you've been, you're done.

If Mom hasn't said anything yet, you covered it well.

Being your babysitter is harder than being your driver. Know that?

Here. Get changed so she won't find out.

[sighs wearily]

Oh, I'm over it. It's all so annoying.

-I think I was born into the wrong family. -Hey, don't say things like that.

Your mother's just always been a bit cold. It's not about you.

And I know that your father loves you to death.

Doesn't seem that way. He exiled me to New York.

[chuckling] Some exile. You were studying abroad.

Well, to me it felt like exile.

Anyway, do you plan to keep lying to them?

You don't even go to this school.

Do they all know about you and JARIM Apparel?

[sighs]

No way.

If anyone finds out I'm from the JARIM Empire,

then I'll only be seen as JARIM Apparel's daughter instead of Seo Ji-woo.

I don't want that.

Still, if you want to be friends with these people,

you better tell them the truth.

Tell them soon. They'll find out eventually.

I was going to, but then I... [sighs softly]

[sentimental music playing]

I think I missed my window to say it.

It'd be weird to bring it up this late. What would I say?

Actually, I have a secret of my own to share.

And if it'd help you feel better, I might tell you.

-I'm not curious at all. -We both know that's not remotely true.

Gosh, now I'm not even sure I should tell you.

-Stop. What is it? -[chuckles]

Next week, your mother and father are out of town.

-And? -That's it.

[sighs heavily] How is that...

They go out of town all the time. How is that relevant to me?

Why do you always yank me around like that?

A cruise through Europe for four whole weeks.

[optimistic music playing]

-You sure? -I'm sure.

-Really, really? -Really, really.

[squeals] Mr. Kim!

-Mr. Kim! That's the best news ever! -[chuckling] You're welcome.

-Go get changed. -Mr. Kim, you're not messing around?

-I wouldn't lie to you. -Really, really?

Waiting for Godot.

Status report. How are rehearsals going?

We'll be fine as long as Woo-sik does his job.

You mess up more lines than me.

Hmm, it's almost as if you need a manager.

-Not really. -No, you do.

How would that be helpful?

Mmm... Well, they'd buy you guys water and prepare snacks and stuff.

Do they buy cigarettes as well?

You're gonna make a pretty underclassman be your cigarette mule?

Oh, just in case, you know.

What if we run out of cigs while we're rehearsing, huh?

I'll have cartons of them prepped and ready.

-[groans] -[sighs in satisfaction]

Thank you. Thank you so much.

From now on, I'll make sure to see to it

that you have nothing to worry about except for rehearsing the play.

-Why would you do that? -[inhales sharply]

Okay, here's the deal.

I'm going to give all my time and attention

to taking care of you guys for the next four weeks,

and you give me a place to stay.

Are we agreed? Okay, awesome! Yay!

Wait, we'll house you? Don't you have a home of your own?

Our home's not exactly stable. Rent's way overdue.

Then Se-yeong's house. Just you and me.

That's a horrible idea.

And Kyeong-do will lose focus and forget his lines if he has to commute.

-He'll also need somewhere to stay. -Ji-woo, Kyeong-do has only two lines.

[amusing music playing]

And what important lines they are.

Oh, they're very important. Pretty essential.

Well, there you go. Thank you for the backup.

The key to my place. Make yourself a copy.

Yes.

-Oh, then the key to your place... -Oh, you piece of...

Door's already open anyway.

-Wanna drink? -Hey!

[cheering]

-One shot, two shots, three shots. -Oh, yeah, best idea ever.

Four shots... Come on, dude, hurry. Come on. Hey! Drinks are on you!

You have to live together for four weeks for a play?

What the heck am I supposed to do with your dad during that time, son?

Mmm... Pretend I joined the army.

-It's a preview for my mandatory service. -Why not just get it over with now, huh?

Dad. Spit three times, take it back. Look, I can't join the army right now.

[spitting]

[laughs] Well, don't fight. Be good, you two.

[pleasant song playing]

[Nam-sook] Why's that boy so excited, hon?

[Han-soo] He said he's gonna focus on studying.

I guess we should trust him.

-Didn't you say you liked books? -I used to read that one a lot.

-Comic books. -Yep.

-Ooh, look, a biography. -So it's your favorite? [laughs]

So, is that what you read every morning?

Wait, this is new. What's in here?

Wanna check it out?

I mean, there's not really any reason to go in.

-In fact, we might as well just leave. -What?

-Hey, follow me. -Well, we just...

-Well, do you wanna come back here later? -Sure.

Oh, aren't your parents coming back in a few days?

Oh, guess so.

The fastest four weeks of my life, and now they're over.

-They're already returning. -Watch out.

Hey. You said they went together?

Hmm? Mmm-hmm.

Mmm... What do they do?

They just sell clothing.

Ah, it's coming together.

That's why you have a good sense of fashion.

I actually don't wear what my dad sells. It's not my style.

Oh.

Hey, you'd look great in that. I'll buy it for you.

-I'll work part-time for it. -You really don't have to.

-I don't like that style either. -You don't?

I'm hungry. Let's get tteokbokki.

Hey, Ji-woo.

Yeah?

We had that twice yesterday. I'm a little tteokbokki'd out.

Oh...

But it's so good.

You know what? If you like it, I'll eat it three times.

Let's go get it.

-Let's go. -Let's go!

[grunts]

Waiting for Godot.

The title sounds like "waiting for Kyeong-do," doesn't it?

-Oh, you're right. -[both laughing]

The two lead characters wait for Godot for over 50 years, right?

[clears throat]

Mr. Godot told me to tell you

he won't come this evening but surely tomorrow.

[clears throat]

-[sighs] I suck. -[laughs]

Godot never came through, you know?

-But you will, right? -I'm not going anywhere.

-I'll stand by you, I promise you. -I'm saying hypothetically.

Mmm... I'm asking, if I waited for you, would you keep me waiting?

I'd be there, without a doubt.

[soft music playing]

You know what?

People say men shouldn't cry, but I'll let my tears out.

Why?

There's a line in the play

saying, basically, the amount of tears is set.

If someone starts crying,

then that means someone else's tears will stop.

I thought,

if I use up all the tears...

then you'll never have to cry.

You're so fucking cool.

-Stop swearing like a sailor. -Hey, tell a dog not to shit. [laughs]

-Who did you learn that from? -From Se-yeong.

Okay, you need to move out of there. She's making you an even bigger weirdo.

-Let's run. -What?

But... [grunts]

[panting]

[pants] What are you doing? Why are you on the ground?

[panting] Do it too. Lie down with me.

Why does it have to be in the schoolyard?

Gee.

[grunts]

Isn't it pretty?

[Kyeong-do] Wow.

[laughs]

-Wanna sleep together? -If we sleep here, we'll catch a cold.

Dummy, not like that. I'm talking about...

I meant, like, sex.

Uh...

Out here?

There's no one here.

[tender music playing]

-Are you messing around? -It'll make a great story.

You're crazy. You do know that, don't you? [grunts]

Come on. Let's do it.

All right, no. Get up. Move. Out of my way. Let's go.

-Let's do it, Kyeong-do. -Psychopath.

-It's a one-time offer. -Hey, knock it off!

-This might be your only chance. -You can't be serious.

Why are you... [grunts]

Let's do it, Kyeong-do! [laughs]

-Come on, Kyeong-do. Come on. -Stop it. Stop. Hey, get up.

[student] Do it! Just do it already!

[soft song playing]

Oh god...

Thank you, random guy!

[laughing]

-[music continues] -[laughing]

Are you seriously still wearing the same shirt?

Yeah. That one.

-No, but it looks like it. -Such a loser.

That's 18 years old?

A museum might want that. You should donate it.

I just started re-wearing it.

I couldn't throw it out because I'm sentimental.

-Why is the neckline so stretched out? -I was saving money.

I mean, do you think it's easy to afford the lease to a place like this?

Why don't you just be honest?

You're still wearing that shirt 'cause you miss me.

Huh? Huh?

-[groans] You know what? -I'm sorry, why are you stripping?

[whimsical music playing]

Besides, I said release the divorce article.

This whole mess could've been avoided, couldn't it?

Why do you always make things more difficult than they have to be?

Whatever. Help settle it before you go to England.

Why am I the one settling it?

Whoever got that picture was only interested in one of us.

They wanted you, Little Miss Celebrity.

-And I'm the scapegoat. -All right, let's say that's true.

Why didn't you beg me yourself instead of sending Se-yeong to do your dirty work?

What?

You felt awkward about that funeral statement?

Since you're a reporter,

you think you'd be more careful about the things you say.

Oh, stop gloating. You're loving this, aren't you?

Are you here to fight?

Not really.

Let go.

Let's do it.

I think you should be trying a bit harder.

I'm really sorry about the funeral statement.

Okay?

And I'm sorry about your horrible fashion sense.

PRESS RELEASE PLAN PROPOSAL

So, yeah, that's the gist of it.

Basically, we get the guys and Se-yeong together,

and we'll all take a casual picture showing us as friends.

It was an 18-year friendship. Is that your plan?

-To make it look like we weren't a couple? -Nailed it.

Then what are these brands for?

COLLABORATION LIST FOR PRESS RELEASE OUTFIT

Uh, well, that is, uh...

It'll be easy since you're taking the picture anyway.

Afterwards, you let me know what Seo Ji-woo's wearing.

-Why? -You know the fashion magazine

-editor-in-chief, Kim Ga-eul? -Why?

Stop asking me that.

Well, I got a call from Kim Ga-eul.

She said the big brand for this month is Louis Vuitton.

If you can get Seo Ji-woo to wear Louis in the picture,

she said they'll promote the heck out of it.

Uh... Isn't that a bit much?

[sighs wearily]

Didn't I tell you that I'm about to resign?

So we might as well try, you know?

We could save you, me, this department, and the fashion mag. Save us all, right?

We could all stay afloat.

Why do I have to do it?

-[scoffs] -[Kyeong-do inhales sharply]

Well, all right.

But, um, if you don't have any shoes or purses that are Louis Vuitton...

Why wouldn't I?

-Well, I'm jealous then. -Yeah, I bet you are.

Hey, wear this shirt. It looks so good on you.

All right. You know what? Never mind. Forget it.

Who caused this whole mess in the first place?

This'll be fun, to see them after so long. Let's do it.

Well, see you later.

By the way, you should work out. You've put on a bit of weight.

[door closes]

-[door lock beeps] -Rude.

[breathes deeply]

[sentimental song playing]

Huh?

-[groans] You know what? -I'm sorry, why are you stripping?

[song continues]

[sighs]

[Ji-woo] Why don't you just be honest?

You're still wearing that shirt 'cause you miss me, don't you?

[groaning]

Why didn't you just throw that stupid shirt out, you dumbass?

[groans]

Oh shit. [groans]

[cell phone vibrating]

Mmm-hmm.

I'm in the car.

Oh, you're already on the way?

Well, your father canceled with a last-minute meeting.

Ah.

He's worried 'cause of the chaos in the foundation.

So, what now? Want to eat with your husband?

-Where are you right now? -I'm here early,

since I was already nearby for something else.

I'm almost there. Let's eat together.

-Sounds like a plan. -Mmm-hmm.

[exhales deeply]

[sighs] Mmm.

[grunts] When's Ji-woo going to England?

[pensive music playing]

Sweetheart, eat your food.

Is something on your mind?

I'm just thinking.

I don't know if I want to get married yet.

What's that now?

How do you feel about it?

Are you getting married because your family forced you?

That's what I want to know. Be honest with me.

[chuckles lightly]

Hey, Ji-yeon. You all right, dear?

You don't look so good.

[phone beeps softly]

Just so you know, that doesn't mean that I don't like you.

It's just... Well, it's all happening a little too soon.

And that makes me a little scared.

[inhales sharply]

So you're telling me

that we're about to get married?

Is that so?

What's your ideal girl? I mean, what are you looking for in a partner?

[laughs in disbelief]

My ideal girl?

Wow, that's a new one. [laughs]

You should eat something, dear.

The food tastes pretty good today. Here you go.

-There you are. -Okay.

[phone buzzes]

[Han-kyeong] They want to add your picture in the article.

Hmm?

[line connects, ringing]

Why do you need to add my picture?

Because a single group photo isn't enough to run an article.

We'll need more than one picture.

Well, I guess if it's too much trouble, I'll use the one from your ID.

My employee photo? Come on, please don't do that.

I'd flee the country. I'm begging you.

[call disconnects]

[sighs heavily]

Got a kimchi fridge in mind? We need a new one.

They all look pretty much the same.

But they also all seem too big and take up too much space.

-So I'm not sure. -[door lock beeps]

-[door closes] -What? Why are you here?

Oh, just grabbing something.

[amusing music playing]

I'm pretty sure I didn't throw it out.

Ah.

There.

There you are.

WAITING FOR GODOT

-Let's put it in this room. -Put what?

Why can't we put whatever we want in there?

-You're not moving back. -Mom.

If you put the kimchi fridge in my room, it'd be too far away from you.

-I'm knocking down the wall. -Huh?

[Nam-sook] To brighten up the place a bit.

But we still need to keep a room for Kyeong-do here.

So that when he gets married, he can bring the grandkids to come see us.

-That's love, honey. -And when exactly is he getting married?

I hoped this was it, but he said he was friend-zoned.

You know, every time I have to go to someone else's kid's wedding

and give money or a gift, I consider it a donation

and gorge at the buffet till I'm sick, trying to make it worth all that money.

WAITING FOR GODOT

-I'm gonna get going. -Where are you going?

You got her all worked up. Sleep here tonight.

Yeah, I don't think I can.

Hey. Kyeong-do!

[door opens, closes]

You, um, kinda overdid it.

I always look this pretty. It's my usual appearance.

What BS, you liars.

-[door opens] -[bell chimes]

[pleasant music playing]

-[Woo-sik] Oh my god, Ji-woo! -[Jeong-min] Look who it is!

-Get over here! Don't be shy! -[Se-yeong] Hey, girl.

-Come over here. -Gorgeous as usual.

-Oh my god, all pretty and grown up! -Come here.

-It's been too long. -Oh, Ji-woo!

-My turn. My turn. -[all laugh]

[Jeong-min] I knew you'd come.

-Man, it's been ages! -It's been forever.

-Oh my god, an age and a half! -Everyone's here now?

We should hurry and take the photo, all right?

We're all here to save Kyeong-do's skin. What good friends.

Are you ready now? All right, let's take the picture.

-You have the program still? -Just pictures, no questions.

You can go outside. We're catching up. Why are you rushing, man?

-Because he's desperate. -[laughs] Desperate?

-Ji-woo, you haven't changed at all. -Look what I found.

-Whoa. -Holy crap.

-[Jeong-min and Woo-sik exclaim] -[Ji-woo] Wow.

Before I left, I wish I'd seen your play. That's my biggest regret.

Mine was being in it. Consider yourself lucky.

-Right! This idiot over here... -Shut up, man. Come on.

-Shut up. Stop it. Shut your mouth. -He forgot his lines up there.

-"Ji-woo's not here." -Oh my god.

"Even if I wait for her, she won't be here."

[both laughing]

That's what this idiot said onstage instead of what he was supposed to.

He had two lines and screwed them up.

And then he was just up there sobbing, remember?

-Yeah, he started ugly crying. -Right, he totally did!

Tears just streaming down his face.

-And then he kept... -"Guys, she's not coming."

-"Oh god, Ji-woo." -Back off, you idiot!

[clears throat]

Kyeong-do, is that right?

You really did that?

I was young. I was vulnerable, immature. I know better. I was soft then.

[Se-yeong laughs] Good for you, softy.

Do you know how much we spent reimbursing everyone's tickets?

Why are you bringing up the past right now?

This whole reunion photo was your plan, so you brought it up.

[clears throat]

-Is that, um... Is that Louis? -No, the outfit's my sister's brand.

-The shoes and the bag are enough. -I'm wearing Louis, Kyeong-do.

Mmm. There's no way you're wearing designer. [laughs]

Ha ha, that's 'cause you've never worn anything luxury, huh?

-Woo-sik is a luxury brand of his own. -I am the luxury!

You wouldn't know luxury if it paid you.

You have no place to talk about fashion, okay?

Guys, I didn't realize we were going to have a real-life trot singer join us.

[all laughing]

[emotional song playing]

-Look here. Dong-won, you ready, buddy? -Mmm-hmm.

So handsome. He doesn't take after Woo-sik.

Shut up. Dong-won, ignore the crazy lady and take the photo.

-Focus on Daddy. -Okay.

Honey, is the academy sign in?

Yeah, it's in already.

-Okay, get ready. -All right, okay, okay.

-Count us down, though. -One, two, three.

-Hey, come in a little bit closer, Daddy. -Change up the pose.

-All right, change it up. -Okay, like a beauty queen.

[Dong-won] One, two, three.

[song continues]

If Woo-sik posted on his social media, is your company publishing it?

Yes.

Anyway, thank you.

I got to see everyone before I go.

So thanks for that.

When do you head out?

Next week, I'll be gone.

Once you're in England, I hope you eat good food.

I will.

Yeah, eat well and sleep well also.

And shit well too.

Hey, being crude isn't charming, you know.

What?

Eating and sleeping are highbrow, but pooping is vulgar?

[sighs] All right.

Eat well, sleep well, and poop well too.

Just make sure

to be careful when you meet new people over there.

[solemn music playing]

If I don't meet someone like you, I'm good.

All right.

[chuckles] I'm just joking.

I know.

Will things calm down when the article's released?

It doesn't matter to me since I'm leaving, but I'm worried about you.

I dragged you into my mess and screwed up your life yet again.

Hold on.

Correction.

I wasn't dragged into it.

And to the second point, you didn't mess my life up.

[chuckles] Jeez, what a fucking reporter.

[engine starts]

[sighs] I don't think she's ever gonna stop with the swearing.

[scoffs] Why is that asshole always so nice?

[sighs]

-Hmm? -[cell phone vibrating]

Hey, Woo-sik. I just got home. There was no traffic.

-So, Kyeong-do. -Yeah?

It was pretty great being with Ji-woo again, wasn't it?

I mean, that's debatable.

-It's not good or bad. -Man, stop lying.

Your eyes were locked on Ji-woo the whole entire time.

It was super obvious.

Hey, come on, I'm tired. I'm so not in the mood.

You know what I think?

That you'll feel way better if you admit it.

Oh my god.

Woo-sik, look around. The Godot program. Did I leave it there?

Hmm? Don't think so.

[gasps] Oh, yeah. Someone stole it. Sorry.

What?

Which of you did it?

[sentimental song playing]

WHAT IS YOUR GODOT?

Shut up, man. Come on, shut up. Stop it. Shut your mouth.

-"Ji-woo's not here." -Oh my god.

"Even if I wait for her, she won't be here."

[both laughing]

Kyeong-do, is that right?

You really did that?

I was young. I was vulnerable, immature. I know better. I was soft then.

[chuckles]

ESTRAGON (GODOT) - PARK SE-YEONG

VLADIMIR (DIDI) - CHA WOO-SIK LUCKY - LEE JEONG-MIN

POZZO - LEE JEONG-MIN BOY - LEE KYEONG-DO

[song continues]

[Kyeong-do] Correction.

I wasn't dragged into it. You didn't mess my life up.

Only if one could entreat Elder Wolha that we...

be born.

[song continues]

It's finished and done.

It's over now.

It's yours now. It's over. But that's the end.

JARIM'S SEO JI-WOO'S UNEXPECTED CHARM 'ACTING CLUB'

[Ji-yeon] The meeting was reportedly intended

as an opportunity to express frustration

towards a reporter preparing an article about Seo Ji-woo's ex-husband.

"Cha explained that he made the social media post

and released the photo

out of his regret over how their long-standing friendship

had been misrepresented in the tabloids."

"The photo posted of Seo Ji-woo from her 20s

has gone viral all over social media."

[chuckles]

THE CHAEBOL FASHION ICON'S DRESS, BAG, JEWELRY SOLD OUT

[sighs deeply]

HER PRESENCE ALONE IS ICONIC... HER DRESS TOPS THE SEARCH WORD

[chuckles]

Lee Kyeong-do.

A very nice save.

[breathes deeply]

[phone beeps]

[knocking at door]

Secretary Cha, can you...

-Where's Secretary Cha? -A meeting with PR, I heard.

Oh.

Well, thank you.

[line connects, ringing]

Oh, hey, are you in a meeting? I need some information from you.

Can you find the contact number of Lee Kyeong-do at Dongwoon Daily?

[grunts]

[exhales]

[cell phone buzzes]

MR. OH

Ms. Seo is moving alone.

-[suspenseful music playing] -[line connects, ringing]

[exhales]

[cell phone vibrating]

Yes, Mr. Kang?

She didn't tell me where she was headed.

She got a cab, I'm afraid.

Okay, understood.

CALLING RO-A'S MOM

[automated voice] The person you're trying to reach is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Where'd she go without the driver?

SOMANG LAUNDROMAT

[machine beeping]

SURGERY DEPARTMENT ICU

-[doctor] You must be worried sick. -[Nam-sook] I am.

Let me check the patient.

[both laughing]

-Here, something like that, right? -Oh god, no way.

What do you think?

This place, it...

It has such a charming color.

HANAM PIG MAIN STORE

-Enjoy your meal. -We will, thank you.

I can feed myself. You've never done that before.

They grilled the meat for us, so... I can't serve you now?

It's just kind of coming out of nowhere. Why be nice all of a sudden?

I'm trying to show my gratitude towards my assistant manager.

Okay.

-Is it good? -Real good.

-[chuckles] -[utensils clatter]

Mmm.

So, I hear Seo Ji-woo might be going to England or something like that?

Whatever. That's all over now.

-Period. End of story. -Mmm. Okay.

My longtime rival Seo Ji-woo is out of the picture.

I'm the last one standing.

You're rivals with her? I'm not sure I understand.

[scoffs] Really?

For ten years, I've been asking you to go out with me.

That's why we're rivals.

And I was friend-zoned 'cause you couldn't move on.

Ah.

"Go out with me, I'll buy you a car. Go out with me, I'll pay your rent."

-[laughing] -And what was the other thing?

"I got the Louis collaboration sneakers. If you go out with me, they're all yours."

That's how you ask a man out?

I was trying.

Good job. You're consistent. I'll give you that.

Just a minute. I have something to show you.

-Exciting. -Ta-da! Hmm?

Bought a house in Oksu-dong.

Have you ever seen anyone buy a house without a mortgage?

Check me out. I did that.

-Now you're bragging. -I wouldn't exactly say that.

-Move in with me, Kyeong-do. -Oh, sure.

Really? And right away, you're gonna call your mother?

-[grunts] -Why are you such a mama's boy?

I should at least let her know.

-Here, press it. -Why would...

So it's a no.

What a way to shut me down. Jesus, calling the cops?

-If it's an Apgujeong, would you? -Call them right now.

-Put that thing away. -[chuckles]

Hey, good job. I know that was hard.

[sighs] Don't tell me you want to go for round two now.

I want to get ice cream.

All right, seriously, enough with the ice cream.

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello? Yeah.

What? Where?

-That was quick. -Nice to meet you, ma'am.

Oh, we've met already.

We met back when you were in college, working the buffet at the hotel.

Oh. Gotcha.

Why'd you want to see me?

You know, because I needed to speak to you.

And if it was here, I thought you'd come as fast as possible.

-Are you talking about today's piece? -About the article, yes.

And also, I need a favor.

The article about Ji-woo's awful ex.

Ji-woo already thanked me for putting it out.

-Why am I here right now? -There was a picture of you two together.

-Yeah. I can explain that to you. -I took that.

[chuckles] Well, I didn't actually take it.

I paid someone to.

But it doesn't matter.

I had them report it.

Why did you?

-I wanted to pin down Ji-woo. -What?

You heard Ji-woo is going to England, right?

I'm telling you,

if she leaves the country now, she'll have nothing to come back to.

She needs to stay here for the moment.

And you're the only person capable of being able to stop her.

[scoffs]

I don't... I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.

Ji-woo needs to come back and be the heir.

Ji-woo will run JARIM Apparel. She'll run it way better than I do.

You saw today's article? The two-piece set that Ji-woo wore sold out immediately.

My sister knows way more about the fashion world.

Look.

I... I had a long day.

You need to stop Ji-woo.

[exhales frustratingly]

Why am I the one to do it?

There's nothing between me and her.

I don't believe you.

Were you both 28?

You and Ji-woo?

Look...

After Ji-woo left and your father's treatment was over,

you spent a year drinking away your problems.

There shouldn't really be anything left between you.

But I'm sure you still worry about her.

Jeez. What are you pulling? Huh?

You and your sister. Why do you yank me around?

Our mother was never a good mother.

And my husband is even worse.

That's your family drama. Leave me out of it.

Ji-woo...

is about to lose her fortune.

If she leaves now, in a year or two years,

Ji-woo... [breathes shakily]

My sister will be turned into a beggar.

My mom is powerless,

and my husband is not a good person either.

I'm the only one who can protect her from her fate.

But I...

I'm losing all my memories.

I have... I have Alzheimer's, Kyeong-do.

[tense music playing]

Divorce isn't a realistic option for me.

It'll take forever, and I doubt that I'd win.

If my mind fades before that, then my husband will liquidate our empire.

I can't explain all the reasons that Ji-woo would lose everything.

[keypad clacking]

JARIM APPAREL

But the only way to fix this

is for JARIM Apparel to transfer to Seo Ji-woo.

That's the best outcome.

[breathes deeply]

[Ji-yeon] Dad and I are the first generation of JARIM.

And Ji-woo has done more than enough to become the new generation.

Please, you must stop Ji-woo.

-Next person in line. -If you don't want to do it

in the name of long-lost love, can you do it for your friendship?

Hello there. I just need your passport and your ticket.

-Here. -Thank you.

[keyboard clacking]

-Will you be checking any luggage, miss? -Yes.

Can you put it up here, please?

-I need a minute. -Are you crazy?

Since you're here, help me lift this damn suitcase up here.

-I just need to talk to you. -And I have a plane to board.

-Take the next one. -It's not that easy.

[whimsical music playing]

Sorry about that. Put it up here. Come on. No.

Can I have my passport back? Sorry, I'll be right back.

That crazy bastard.

Lee Kyeong-do! Hey!

What the hell is wrong with that man? He's insane.

Lee Kyeong-do! Stop right there! Hey!

Oh shit.

Really? Jesus.

Officer, stop him, please! That guy right there.

Catch him! Hurry!

-Oh, sir, can we have a moment? -Yes, sir.

We actually know each other.

Huh? Ma?

Wait, wait, wait. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a criminal.

[officer] Come with us.

[Kyeong-do grunts] Wait, wait.

SURELY TOMORROW

[Jeong-min] I thought it was color film, but...

-The black and white makes it look cooler. -Don't lie to Ji-woo, man.

You can't see our matching items anymore.

-Yeah, man, you really can't. -You're all so mean.

You should be grateful you got anything, ingrates.

I'm feeling black and white. Let's grab a drink.

It's on Mr. Black and White's tab.

I developed it too. I worked hard on it. Be nice to me.

Actually...

the black and white makes you look prettier.

-Trying to get fucking hit? -Hey, guys, uh, wait up!

What was that?

Kyeong-do!

[upbeat song playing]

[Ji-woo] I locked the gas.

I ran out of underwear, so I borrowed yours.

Huh?

Hold your questions, please.

Is running away your specialty?

You were on top of him?

[Ji-woo] I just pulled a little prank to see what he's like.

Do you really like me?

You never blame me, even a little. It's annoying as hell.

When are you gonna grow up?

[Se-yeong] Someone should write a thesis on you two. You guys are so weird.

I went when I was 20 and when I was 28.

I'm worried.

Is it love or not?
