[theme music playing]

Okay.

Please don't cross that bridge.

Stay in Gangbuk tonight.

-You drive. -Uh-huh!

-Seatbelt. -Okay. Got it.

-Is it on? -Not yet.

-Done. [pants] -Gonna go now.

-Ready? -Mmm.

[beeping]

[door beeping]

[Ji-woo grunts]

What's wrong?

Uh, wait. My foot, my foot.

Your, uh, foot?

[sighs]

[sucks teeth]

EPISODE 7

[cell phone buzzing]

Mmm?

[grunts softly]

[cell phone continues buzzing]

[sighs]

I think it's about your car.

Mmm...

Hi.

Oh, right. [sighs]

Mmm.

[sighs]

Oh...

Stay here.

[grunts]

-[Kyeong-do groans] -[chuckles]

[Kyeong-do sighs]

[moaning]

Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry about that. I'm sorry.

Did he get a new car?

[door opens]

[tsks]

[video game sounds over phone]

Oh...

[chuckles softly]

[grunting]

[sighs]

-[grunting] -No...

-Oh, I... -[grunts]

Hey, don't... I can't... Hey, wait, I can't breathe at all.

Oh, oh... What?

[chuckles] Hey, I really can't...

[laughing] Hey, wait, don't...

-[Kyeong-do grunts] -Ugh!

[pants] Ugh, why'd you do that?

You heard of this thing, "Cute enough to just murder it?"

When something's so cute, you wanna kill it,

smother it with a pillow.

Kittens, puppies, a lion cub, you know what I'm saying?

-Ugh, I know I'm as cute as a kitten. -Exactly.

-Oh, my... [laughing] -[grunts]

Can't... I can't breathe.

[Ji-woo laughing]

Oh, that's right.

Oh, shit, running late for work.

Oh, hey, Kyeong-do.

[both grunting]

-[pants] -Don't go to work, Kyeong-do.

-Stay with me, hmm? -[pants] Hey, get off.

Aren't you about to start working?

Ugh, just one day off, please?

-[sighs] Hey, I told you to get off. -Please?

[Ji-woo laughs]

Intern?

Have you confirmed this movie's release date yet?

-Yeah. -Send it to the manager.

She told me I can upload it once you confirmed it.

"If the great Assistant Manager Lee approves it,

then that's enough." That's what she said.

[scoffs and chuckles]

Yeah, but still, we should confirm with her

before we upload the article.

Okay.

Hey, where did Kim Doo-jin go?

Uh, think he's covering the Midlife Cop press conference.

Why'd he go so early though?

[sucks teeth]

-Holy shit! -[laughs]

Gotcha, asshole.

You wait right there.

Ugh, how'd he know where I was?

Corporate card?

My card.

[sighs, coughs]

You really thought you could hide forever?

I'm not hiding at all. I'm here to work.

Three hours before the conference, huh?

What are you doing here? Aren't you too high-ranking to be here?

I'm down here to get you, you asshole.

Seriously, I'm using my lunch break just to come and get you.

I got that, but why, why, why, why, why?

-An Da-hye. Why'd you start covering her? -[scoffs]

Honestly, it's wrong for a reporter to make his colleague reveal an informant.

It's strange. Why is An Da-hye calling us and asking for you?

Why are you avoiding me? You're here as you're hiding something.

You know that's not true. I covered that story like any other.

And it's pretty obvious why you're acting like this.

You're taking it personally 'cause it's about your ex-girlfriend.

[sucks teeth] No, no.

What is that "no, no" crap?

Current one.

[scoffs]

Yeah, that day Seo Ji-woo said she borrowed your undies.

[laughs] I knew something was going on.

[laughs softly] Me too. I know there's something here.

And I'm determined as hell to figure out what it is.

I promise I'll keep it to myself. Who told you?

-Hey... -[cell phone buzzing]

CEO SEO JI-YEON

-Go ahead and answer it. -[sighs]

Oh, it must be your sister-in-law.

If you keep this stuff up, you're gonna get in trouble.

Yeah, hello?

[grunts, winces]

-Yeah. -[grunts]

Isn't Excel a pretty basic skill?

I'm getting the hang of it, but it's hard.

You're getting...

[sighs] If you keep this up, they're gonna keep calling you a slacker.

-Yeah. -"Yeah"? Don't act so...

-Try to be more... -Oh, there's a guest...

[chuckles softly]

[exhales]

Hello, sir. Miss Seo will be here shortly.

-I'll have you wait inside. -Great.

Can you help him?

Would you like something to drink, sir?

Uh, actually a hot Americano would be good.

[chuckles softly]

Ugh, shit. When's it gonna end?

[pants]

When am I gonna be done with that crabby asshole?

[sighs]

[Kyeong-do clears throat]

Thank you.

Hey, that one wasn't not yours.

Ah, oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't think...

That's Miss Seo's drink. [shudders] What did you just do?

Sorry about that. I don't get why you're so angry though.

[door opens]

[chuckles] Oh, sorry, Kyeong-do, the meeting went longer than I thought.

Oh, no, you're good, just got here.

Miss Seo, let me get you a fresh coffee.

[chuckles softly]

Kang Min-woo?

Your husband was the informant?

Yes.

So why...

Wait, but that only makes sense if he benefited from it though.

What would getting rid of Cho Jin-eon do for him?

As long as Cho Jin-eon's still around, the company's a lot harder to sell.

That's because the executives

always complimented Cho Jin-eon on his performance.

He really wanted to sell?

He hopes to, and that's the reason

he's been pretending not to know about my illness, too.

He really doesn't want to run the company at all.

He's going to reveal my illness to the public at a crucial moment,

and everyone will think that no one's equipped to run the company.

And then, he'll make his move and try to sell it off.

Because once my memory's all gone, he'll function as my guardian.

It seems that he's already found a buyer.

God... What a terrible guy.

-Then, Ji-woo... -Oh, that's the thing.

[tsks] Ji-woo is gonna have to endure all of it.

I'm worried about her. [sighs]

I sometimes ask myself if I'm the one being selfish here.

Ji-woo might not even be capable of putting up with all of this.

I feel for her, I worry about her.

So, this is why you still haven't told Ji-woo?

If she ends up finding out I have Alzheimer's,

Ji-woo's gonna completely fall apart.

Now that I've seen her in person, it's harder.

And it turns out, [sighs]

she's relying on me even when she shouldn't.

[sighs deeply]

You know I'm here to help you in any way I can,

whatever I can do.

[laughs]

[sucks teeth]

That secretary who was just here, you know, that young woman.

Oh, Secretary Yoo?

Yeah. [sucks teeth] She's an open recruitment hire?

[chuckles] Why?

I thought I heard someone calling her a slacker, so...

[laughs]

Oh, she graduated from my father-in-law's school.

My husband recommended her.

Oh...

Get me some new clothes, please?

Yes, right away, ma'am.

Hey, that one wasn't yours!

That's Ms. Seo's drink. [shudders] What did you just do?

Hmm?

[chuckles] So I can drink it later. Coffee here's really good, actually.

I can just ask her to make you a new one...

Oh, no, no, no. Uh, this'll work fine.

What were you thinking coming here?

I can't do this anymore.

[sighs]

How long will this go on for?

The chief secretary keeps attacking me, it's really driving me nuts.

You knew this would be hard work going in.

I knew that it would be hard, I just think this is way too dangerous.

Like, what if Miss Seo ends up dying? What is that drug?

I'll end up going to prison if anything goes wrong.

Will you lower your voice? Cut to it.

I know the reason you're really here. You want more money.

[sighs]

Okay, I hear you. Go back to work.

And also,

don't come to my office anymore.

You keep leaving your second phone off.

Text me if you have any concerns.

I'll check my phone, all right?

Have a good day.

Thank you, sir.

-[door opens and closes] -[sighs]

-[line ringing] -[Kyeong-do] Hey, Seong-sik.

When you wrote that one article about the fruit juice ingredients,

where'd you get the analysis done?

Oh, really? Could you send over their location?

Yeah, thank you.

-Here. -Hmm.

[sucks teeth]

Would it be possible to, uh, analyze and identify any elements

that could, [sucks teeth] uh, potentially cause any illnesses,

or problematic substances you come across

that's not normally found in a regular cup of coffee?

-Yeah, I can do that. -Thanks.

Uh, how long will it take?

Uh, well, I'd think two to three weeks.

Oh...

Well, actually...

I'm on a deadline for this article.

So, if you could rush a little bit.

Uh, [chuckles] think you can do that?

-Yeah, I'll do it fast as I can. -Great, thank you.

Bye.

FLOWERS

Evening, sir.

Oh, Mom!

Thank you.

You've never done this for me before.

I've told you a million times I like flowers,

but you never get me anything other than carnations.

And today I remembered.

Next time, getting about half this amount will be fine.

-Huh? -Go.

Uh, where're you headed?

[sniffs] Tuesday service.

Why the hell does she keep taking this route?

[sighs]

-Where'd you get those? -Kyeong-do.

You raised him well.

I fed him mostly rice, I think that must've done the trick.

[both laugh]

Pizza goes perfectly with beer.

-Can't help you there. -Yeah, I know.

[both laugh]

[tsks] Here.

By the way, I came across a flower shop on my way home from work.

I've never noticed it before, but it's actually been there a few years.

Hmm, you've never bought flowers for a girl?

[both chuckle]

I had no idea there were orange roses.

Mmm. You should've bought some.

-I actually bought about 20 of them. -Huh?

But someone stole them all.

Ugh, who stole them?

My mother.

[scoffs]

Hey, come here.

Here. Here, hold your face still. Let me...

Hey, fancy journalist, don't talk with your mouth full, huh.

Why are you so sensitive?

[sighs]

I'm not. Come on.

Hey.

-Kyeong-do, listen to me. -Hmm.

I was asked to take a photo for the upcoming press launch.

But look at this photo.

It's great.

It looks so unnatural. It's such a boring pose, you know?

What do you wanna do?

Oh, you know what I'm saying, like this...

While I'm on my way to work, I turn naturally, like this,

and snap, perfect picture.

-[laughs] -It would look so good.

Know what I mean, right?

You know. You don't?

-Something like that. -Oh, yeah, right.

Kind of like "the CEO's daughter-in-law attending a wedding."

-That kind of look? -Exactly, that look.

Ugh, why'd they have to take such a bad photo? God...

Wanna go out? Teheran-ro's a good street for photos.

-Yeah, speaking of which... -Hmm?

I'm going to the office to see my sister before my start date.

Could you take a picture of me that day? Just take a bunch of candid pictures.

Who knows, I think you'd take a good one.

[tsks]

Oh, yeah? You know I'm a star journalist, right?

Yeah, I do.

[sighs]

[tsks]

How will you get to the office?

Taking a taxi? That's unusual for you.

[sucks teeth] Taxi?

Oh, right, that seems kind of forced, doesn't it?

Yeah, but if I drive to the office,

then, uh, I can't get it valet parked. [sighs]

Ugh, guess I should've taken up my sister's offer

to get me a personal chauffeur.

Whoa, a director at the company gets her own chauffeur?

That'd been so nice. Why'd you say no? Probably should've taken the offer.

[tsks] It's super weird.

It's suffocating to always have a stranger in your car.

Makes me car sick.

Hmm...

[Ji-woo tsks]

Hey, just use this.

It's a good photo. You look like you'll work like an cow.

-"Moo." -[scoffs]

"Such a hard worker. Moo, give me more work. Moo."

-[chuckles] -Open your mouth.

Hey, come on, open up.

-Come here. -You open up.

-Here, open wide! -[cell phone buzzing]

-[chuckles] -Open your mouth! Do it. [chuckles]

Oh.

Jeong-min!

Huh? Oh...

Just, uh, my place. Just chilling.

Chilling with Ji-woo, huh?

Uh, we're having dinner together.

Both of you, come over to Woo-sik's.

-Right now? -[line disconnects]

Huh? Uh, you there?

-What the hell? -What?

He wants us to come over.

[chuckles] Don't lie to me.

[Woo-sik laughs]

"Oh, hey. Yeah, I'm just-just chilling here. At my place."

You sounded so awkward.

You know, Kyeong-do's not the best actor.

When he said, "Oh, oh, hey."

Right then I knew for sure that Ji-woo was there.

Don't even try, dude.

-[laughing] -Yeah, true.

What made you stutter, though? Are you embarrassed we're together?

I didn't sound like that at all.

Is Uncle Kyeong-do going out with you now?

You okay with that?

Stay together and don't start fighting.

-[laughs] -Got it.

Yeah, we're going to try. Sound good.

Oh, we should have congratulatory Soju shots.

-We'll drink for you! Hmm? -[chuckles]

Hmm. Whiskey would pair so well with this.

[chopstick clatters]

What kind of example are you setting? Keep it up and we'll stop eating here.

Oh, come on, man! I am a good example.

I just found this little guy in my bag. Check it out.

[Kyeong-do chuckles]

[Jeong-min exclaims]

Drink it at home later.

You know, whiskey pairs well with loneliness.

I always knew.

You, Se-yeong, you're my only loyal friend.

You know what?

When I was serving, she was the only one who visited me.

You guys never came to see me.

You just bought me drinks when I was on leave.

-[sighs] -[Kyeong-do] Hey, this is really good.

-You visited him on your own? -Uh-huh.

Why?

Oh, you know, I wanted to make sure Kyeong-do was doing okay.

You understand that. I was a little worried.

That's the reason. You like that?

We didn't see each other in the end.

Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'Cause I had to drive the commander to this thing.

Okay, so, tell me why you were worried about him?

[scoffs] Hey, what kind of question is that?

What are you saying?

You were worried about him that much?

That's kind of serious. That's why I'm wondering.

Just concerned. Honey, you want this?

Oh, well, that day, he went out and got drunk,

then showed up again early the next day.

And that's all. You go away.

That kind of thing did happen a lot.

-It's normal to be curious about it. -Oh, God.

It was Ji-yeon's wedding day.

-Oh... -If you must know.

[sighs]

WINTER, 2009

Come on, I've never asked you for anything.

Just this once, huh?

But I got tickets for a concert.

I'll pay you for the ticket.

And when we're discharged, I'll buy you another one.

Oh, no. No way. Not a chance.

I'll take your driving shift next weekend.

Actually, I'll drive every single weekend this month.

-What do you say? Deal? -Serious?

For real.

-Okay. -Okay.

[exhales]

Hey, after your sister's wedding's over,

maybe we could go and visit Kyeong-do while you're here.

Do you think he misses me at all?

He might get mad and desert.

Then, maybe...

We'll see...

Kyeong-do might be out on leave.

[gasps] So, if he's on leave,

once we're done with your sister's wedding stuff,

let's try to meet up with him.

How about it? Hmm? I think it's worth a shot.

Did you let him know that I was coming here?

Oh, no way!

[laughs]

-You didn't? -Oh, hey, don't do that...

You're so pretty...

[both laughing]

Do you think

that Kyeong-do and I should try to get back together again?

[sighs]

You know what?

I think everyone should experience a proper breakup.

That way, they can get in touch with their feelings,

and they might come back stronger.

With you and Kyeong-do... [tsks]

It isn't a matter of getting back together.

You guys should have a proper break-up.

[chuckles] You're really eloquent, Se-yeong.

You sound like a teacher. I don't know what you're saying.

[both laugh]

You gotta focus!

[tsks]

[cameras clicking]

Hello, sir. May I see your invitation?

Oh, you need an invitation?

You're not permitted entry without one, sir.

Oh, yeah, it's fine.

[blowing]

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Drink.

Ah.

Sure Ji-woo's back in Korea? Why didn't she go to her sister's wedding?

Hey, maybe there was a separate section for the family.

That hotel was enormous!

Hey, how did you know that Ji-woo's sister was getting married?

You read that thing?

No, but I heard there was an article about it.

Seo Ji-woo's probably in Korea.

I mean, it's not like there's really a good way to get in touch with her.

You'd have to be lucky and run into her. And that will only happen if she's here.

Right. Well, it'd be cool to see her here.

Then why don't we give JARIM a call?

We just say something like, we're looking for her contact info.

-Or something? -What do you think?

I'm bullshitting 'cause I feel bad for him. I was kidding!

-[laughter] -God.

Anyway, when are you two serving?

Once I'm discharged, get it out of the way.

I'll take care of Se-yeong.

I can take care of her just fine.

Uh, are you saying that-that you're into her?

Yeah, I ship it.

Hey, you... If you two start dating right now,

and if you break up, that means Chaos is over, you guys!

It's bad enough already with Lee Kyeong-do dating Seo Ji-woo.

Know what I mean, Se-yeong? Right?

And if we stay together?

Oh, God. Are you for real?

Kyeong-do, get up.

Whoa.

You see the look in his eyes?

I'm so glad I'm on leave tonight. This is so worth it.

Oh, worth it, my ass! This is a destructive act.

You really need to think this over carefully.

Hey, man, wait. You're way too drunk to do that, yeah.

Why don't you just... Huh?

-If you drink this Soju, we're going out. -Oh!

-Oh! -[Jeong-min] Wait, what the hell?

Stop it! What are you... Don't-Don't do it, man. Really, guys.

You realize this was supposed to be an acting club,

not some kind of matchmaker thing.

And this idiot. What are you snickering at over there?

Congratulations on the relationship, officer.

Don't be ridiculous. Can't you find a girl somewhere else?

You assholes. Now I'm the only single one.

This is just a matchmaking club after all, huh?

[all laughing]

[all] Cheers!

Ah.

[all laughing]

[romantic song playing]

[cell phone buzzing]

SE-YEONG

Hey, Se-yeong.

No, I was about to get up.

Mm-hmm. Why didn't you come over?

We all waited for you.

Oh, yeah, I was with my family until pretty late, so...

Mmm... Yeah, I get it.

-Are you at the hotel? -Mmm.

Oh, now that Ji-yeon isn't there, you're not going home at all?

Did Kyeong-do get home safely last night?

I hope he did.

I think he slept at Woo-sik and Jeong-min's place.

Mmm.

Se-yeong.

Where is Kyeong-do stationed exactly?

BAEKGEOM BASE INSPECTION IN PROGRESS

VISITOR REQUEST DATE DECEMBER 20, 2009

Oh, I'm sorry to tell you, ma'am,

you can't visit Sergeant Lee today.

Oh, why not?

He's on an off-base dispatch.

Oh...

MILITARY BASE ENTRANCE

[line ringing]

[sniffles]

[sucks teeth] Hey, Se-yeong. It's Kyeong-do here.

Se-yeong, did you try to visit me earlier?

I mean, they told me a girl came to see me,

but they didn't get her name.

Was it you?

Ah, oh, it was me.

Oh, yeah? I saw you yesterday.

Well, you know, you kind of drank a lot.

I was worried about you.

Ah.

I also wanted to see how you were holding up,

since you didn't get to see Ji-woo.

I just wanted to check on you, dude!

[chuckles]

It's only the second day you're together.

And here I am causing you problems.

[laughs] Yeah, right.

And, hey, speaking of which...

[sighs]

I got way too drunk, too.

[sighs] Kyeong-do, you think this is the right thing?

[sighs] What if I'm ruining everything?

Hey, that hurts my feelings.

How will you explain that lovey-dovey look in your eyes?

Woo-sik is kind of cute, isn't he?

[chuckles]

Yeah, yeah. You're good together.

[sighs]

[laughing]

Happy?

That I got barred from a wedding when I was trying to see you?

Uh-huh. I'm overjoyed. [chuckles]

Oh, how wonderful.

Is that because you found out I came to visit you?

-Mm-hmm. -[chuckles]

-I know you are. -[grunts]

[both chuckle]

[slurping]

That artist Choi... He dating anyone?

[coughs and slurps]

God!

[sniffles]

Hey, why would you bring that up without warning?

Don't do that.

They broke up, didn't they?

It feels like this scandal's happening too late.

[sniffles]

Ugh, how the hell would I know? I'm as curious as you are.

If you find out more, you gotta let me know, okay?

You can handle it.

Now that you're a big-shot CEO, you've got a good poker face.

-No, no. Hungry, hungry. -[cell phone buzzing]

-[laughs] -Excuse me.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm eating right now. Have you eaten?

[Nam-sook] Yeah, I did earlier. Are you coming home for dinner?

If I boil a chicken, how are the two of us gonna eat it all?

I don't think the leftovers would get eaten either.

I'd rather the three of us eat it while it's hot.

Oh, baeksuk's my favorite.

Uh, but I gotta work.

Gotta cover a movie press conference later.

Leave me some, okay. I'll eat it tomorrow.

Baeksuk's still good the second day.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll call you.

Yeah, enjoy your dinner. [tsks]

So, um, where are you going? I didn't hear about any movie release.

-Eat up. -[sucks teeth] Hang on.

-I'm smelling something. -Hmm?

Jjajangmyeon, smells great. Yeah, go ahead.

[scoffs lightly]

[sniffs]

-No, I think I'm smelling BS. -Eh?

-[Han-soo sighs] He's working? -Uh-huh.

-I guess he's covering something. -[sighs]

What's going on?

You think Kyeong-do's up to something?

-Uh, that's not really it. -[sighs]

[pants]

It was nice of him to get you those.

Do you really think he bought those flowers for me?

I think he meant to give them to the girl he likes.

[laughs] Hang on. If you knew, why'd you take them away?

What do you mean? How was I supposed to ask about it?

"Are you seeing a lady? Is that why you bought flowers?"

I should've said that? That's so embarrassing.

Yeah, I guess you're right. [laughs] Jeez-louise.

If this one ends like the last one,

he'll be heartbroken.

That's the part that's worrying.

Well, I wasn't doing well back then, you know.

Guessing that made it harder. [grunts]

[Han-soo grunts]

[sighs]

JI YEON-SOO

Ji Yeon-soo's our lead designer. She's our department manager.

She worked with Dad for a while.

You should do your best to get along with her, okay.

She can really help you a lot.

-She was born in '74. Okay. -[chuckles]

Hey, don't just look at the pictures.

-[laughs] -Next one.

CHOI JIN-SOOK

Uh, Director Choi. You gotta watch out for her.

-Huh? Villain, right? -No. [chuckles]

Not exactly, no.

-What's the issue then? -Um...

She's kind of a sneaky one.

She doesn't care about loyalty or getting along or anything like that.

She's just looking out for herself, that's her number one priority.

But she's made good contributions to the company.

Mmm... Villain who's also helped the company.

Okay. [laughs]

[sucks teeth] I'm planning to, um,

put out the press release the day after tomorrow.

-Sound good? -[sighs]

-Too much pressure? -It's not about that, no.

I really just hate the picture.

What should we do? Hire a new photographer?

Hey, no use, it'll turn out like the other one.

They'll make me turn at an angle, smiling with my face like this.

[both laughing]

-Gimme a break. -Ugh, Jesus.

[gasps] Is my picture like that?

-It's the same photographer? -Uh-huh.

-Oh... -I guess it kind of is, yeah.

You look like a pack mule or something.

-[chuckles] -[cell phone buzzing]

-Right? -Oh, hang on.

-One sec. -Yeah.

Hmm.

LEE KYEONG-DO

Hey, I'm at work.

[Kyeong-do] Wow, how cool of you.

"I'm at work." Damn.

I'm busy, gotta go. I'll call later.

[laughs]

-Sounded cool, right, didn't it? -Wow.

-Director Seo. -[both laughing]

[grunts]

[sighs]

[tires screeching]

-[exclaims] -[Ji-woo laughs]

Mmm, why are you here?

Uh, because I missed you?

[chuckles lightly]

You're so nice to hug, Kyeong-do.

Did you come from work?

I didn't. Drove here from your place.

Hmm? You should've stayed there, I bet you're really tired.

[tsks] There are certain days when I just get the urge to pick you up, you know.

[sucks teeth] Uh, you do? Like when?

Mmm...

-A day like today? -[chuckles]

What do you mean, a day like today?

I sincerely hope that asshole

gets locked out of every door in existence.

Huh?

[beeping]

-[door clangs] -What the hell?

[beeping]

Shit!

-[Kyeong-do] Hey! -Fuck.

What are you doing?

[sighs]

Aren't you laid-back? People might think this is your house.

[scoffs] Flirtation's all done.

Why are you prowling around a door that's not yours?

The door code. Did you change it?

Why does that matter to you?

The real issue here is that you're breaking the law.

-You're a trespasser. -Hey! Shit.

You wanna press the button?

[scoffs] Hey,

I know you set me up with An Da-hye to get me divorced.

You got rid of me so you could date Seo Ji-woo, right?

[sighs]

You should know

I tried to stop the article release until the last moment.

Don't tell me lies.

You think I'd listen to a trash reporter like you?

If I were you,

I'd try to find out who the informant was before anything else.

By the way, I want you to use "sir" from now on.

Since you and I aren't especially close. Let's start right now.

Oh, right, yes, right, yeah, the informant.

Now I see. [laughs]

Shit. [laughs] I get it now.

[tsks]

-It was Seo Ji-woo. -[scoffs]

I won't let you two slide.

I heard Seo Ji-woo's working at the company.

I'll wait for my chance to send you two to hell and back, hear me?

I told you to use "sir", you aren't fucking listening, are you?

You son of a...

You're such an asshole, I wouldn't even set you up with a dog.

Why are you such a loser?

[scoffs]

[sighs]

[beeping]

-[sighs] -[door opens]

Shit.

[sighs]

-What's that? -For her.

[Kyeong-do exclaims]

You're gonna have to be super blunt when you tell him, huh?

Kept poking the lock like he lives here.

[imitates beeping] What a piece of shit.

Mmm, I see.

Now I know the actual reason why you drove me here.

-It isn't! -You're yelling, so I know I'm right.

No, it wasn't.

Is he totally insane?

What's it say? What'd that idiot say?

-Can I have some privacy? -Not with this, no.

"My second proposal to you."

The hell? This fucking asshole.

[grunts angrily]

God, this guy's seriously such an idiot.

Does he think a divorce is a joke? Oh!

So humiliating. A second proposal?

I should've punched that piece of shit right in the throat. Christ.

[sighs deeply]

Oh, I won't accept this. Give me Jin-eon's number.

You won't call him out. I'm gonna do it.

Gonna draw the line once and for all.

I can just go and return it.

Why would you? Send it in the mail.

Yeah, I don't know,

You can't actually buy this anywhere in Korea.

It'd be bad if it got lost.

Ugh. God, this guy. He knew what he was doing.

He did. He knew if he got you something expensive,

he'd get to see you again.

The dude calculated everything. [scoffs]

Have you ever come across or seen a video of a rabid dog?

-Huh, no. -You're kind of acting like one now.

-[Ji-woo laughs] -[pants]

[gulps and pants]

[tsks] This is what Cho Jin-eon does.

When he wants something, he thinks his way's the only way.

You know, I kind of feel sorry for my Kyeong-do.

This whole thing must be hard for you.

[scoffs]

Yeah, sure, I messed with him though.

I covered the lockbox punching in the code.

I bet that really pissed him off.

[pants] Come here.

[pants]

Where'd he buy that?

No clue.

-How much was it? -Hey! [tsks]

Come here. [sighs]

Don't move for five minutes. Gotta clear my head.

[romantic song playing]

SUMMER, 2015

This design is also popular for matching rings.

It has diamonds, so the ladies love it. It's a wonderful choice.

Do you have any designs that are a little simpler?

Mmm, maybe I can find a less flashy one.

How about this? What do you think?

-I'll take this one. -You know her size?

Oh.

[sucks teeth]

Here. Can you use that loop as a reference?

[chuckles] That'll work fine.

[chuckles]

[sucks teeth]

Aren't you getting tired? Wanna head home?

I'm okay. Want me to get us something to drink?

Mm-mm. I've had enough.

[sucks teeth] Hey, you wanna go for a drive this weekend?

-I can't. -Why?

So, this Saturday,

I'm taking you somewhere swanky.

Really? What? Where?

I found a really good Korean barbeque.

[laughs] Why? Is it like a special day?

It's eat-yummy-food day.

-Hmm. Eat yummy food. -[cell phone buzzing]

[cell phone buzzing]

I guess that's what we're doing.

Hey, Ma.

What happened?

Uh, how bad?

Which hospital are you two at?

Uh-huh. Yeah, all right. I'll see you there.

[sobbing]

[melancholy music playing]

[sighs]

FRAGILE

Maybe the guy's still on drugs or something, you know?

After all, what kind of stupid bullshit is a second proposal?

[scoffs] How dumb does he take her for?

It's not easy to appreciate what you've got.

So when it's gone, you'll do anything to win it back.

But if he'd been nicer to her, you wouldn't be together.

Man, would you listen to what I'm saying.

What I'm asking is, how am I the only one who thinks it's incredibly ridiculous

to have a second marriage proposal. That's what I wanna know.

Well, some people have a lot of success the second time around.

-[hisses] -[laughing]

[muffled laughing]

You should go get her a gift, eh. Impactful gesture of love.

That feels desperate.

Dude, she just started a new job. She deserves it.

I already did. Acupressure slippers.

-[laughs] Acupressure... -[sighs]

-Wow... -Acupressure, that's hilarious.

You're a hopeless idiot. That won't work at all.

I'll hook something up,. I can go talk to my dad.

A foreign car, or a sports car, something like that?

On an installment plan. I'll give you a good deal.

I'm not Cho Jin-eon. I'm not trying to spoil her.

Ugh, I swear. [tsks]

-What is it? -How long is the car offer.

Oh, yeah, dude. Dude!

-Yeah, all right. -[cell phone buzzing]

Wait, hang on, where's my phone at?

SEO JI-WOO

You at work?

Oh. Oh. [chuckles]

You said you'd probably have to do overtime,

so I thought you might be there.

[chuckles] Oh, no, I'm on my way home now.

[chuckles] Okay. Well, you guys have fun.

Mm-hmm.

[beeps]

Miss Seo Ji-woo?

I'm Jin Han-kyeong, and I work with Assistant Manager Lee.

I've seen many pictures of you. [laughs] Just never in person.

-Nice to meet you. -Assistant Manager Lee left.

Oh, yeah. We just spoke on the phone.

Okay.

[sucks teeth]

If it's all right with you, can we get some tea?

I've been working alongside him since we were in the culture team.

[chuckles]

Oh, right. I've heard about that,

and how you think his mom's kimchi's so good,

you go all the way to her laundromat.

-That's right. -[chuckles]

I wanna talk about something with you.

[inhales sharply] I'm actually

a little disappointed.

Assistant Manager Lee...

Or Kyeong-do...

Whenever he gets a good opportunity he never seems to go for it.

And it turns out,

you were always the reason.

In the past,

when you and Kyeong-do got back together and broke up again,

Kyeong-do was trying to get onto the current affairs team.

And he was definitely a shoe in.

I think it was more suitable for him too.

I don't know what happened exactly between the two of you,

but Kyeong-do...

Well, there was so much pain he was going through.

And because he went on sick leave, he was passed over for it.

I'm gonna speak frankly here.

He was supposed to go and train at a Chicago university.

It was incredibly hard to get in.

He got the opportunity because he had one big exclusive.

And apparently he turned it down, and gave the chance to someone else.

Oh...

I know I'm overstepping my boundary,

but there's something...

I feel is important for you to know, Ji-Woo.

Kyeong-do has always had the highest priority.

[sighs]

[tsks] I'm sorry, really.

[gulps]

Oh, Han-kyeong, thank you.

This... I really needed someone to tell me this.

[sighs]

I'm glad I talked to you, I appreciate this.

Thank you, Ji-Woo.

I appreciate it.

Jeong-min's been talking about foreign cars a lot.

Uh-huh.

Jeong-min's gonna close his used car shop soon

and start working for his dad.

Mmm...

Okay, so? He'll get you a good deal?

[chuckles] He'll get me a really long installment plan.

[both chuckle]

Oh, I told Jeong-min

that I got you a pair of acupressure slippers as a present,

He called me a "hopeless idiot."

[laughs]

How's work? You doin' all right?

Oh...

Oh, I wanted to mention,

I got the ring back to the man who sent it.

You were right about returning it.

There's nothing to be gained from seeing him again.

[tsks]

Great work.

Was it a limited edition or something? I'll get you one.

Before I'm 80.

Kyeong-do.

Is something wrong?

I won't ask you why you didn't go abroad to study.

I won't ever tell you to give up on something you want to do.

I won't do that.

I have to tell you how happy I am you're here.

Like, life is finally going good now.

I wanted to say I'm...

so...

thankful that you're not...

going away.

Is that bad?

[laughs]

That's a relief.

Just hearing that you're happy.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Let's go.

[sucks teeth]

What's the matter?

[sighs]

[sighs]

Hey, Kyeong-do, have you seen my keys anywhere?

Huh? Don't know.

What?

Where could I have left them?

-Damn it, where are they? -Oh!

Okay, not here.

-They've gotta be somewhere. -Hey, come on, let's go.

Hey, wait, don't... [scoffs]

-Hold on. -Come on. Hurry.

Hey, tell me where we're going! Hey, where are my car keys?

It's way too early for this. I haven't even washed my face yet.

Where are you taking me? Tell me where we're going at least.

[sighs]

Oh...

Mr. Kim! [laughs]

[both laughing]

[chuckling]

[Kyeong-do] Ji-woo, I'd like to give you foreign cars,

or limited edition luxury items, but you can buy those yourself.

You're rich, after all.

But what I will give you

is a world that you actually want to live in.

That's my gift to you.

[sniffles]

[sighs]

[Mr. Kim] Ji-woo.

-Ji-woo! -[pants]

-Are you okay? -The last bus already left.

It's all right. Let's go. Come on, get up.

We're up. Oh, no.

Oof. Come on.

[pants]

There you go.

[mellow music playing]

Kang Min-woo was the informant.

You avoided me 'cause you didn't like me digging into it?

[Doo-jin] Don't accuse me.

I didn't know that you, Seo Ji-woo, and Cho Jin-eon were all involved.

[Jin-eon] Her mom had her while having an affair,

can you believe that?

They said they needed our help, so we should cooperate. [sighs]

[Ji-woo] Kyeong-do is right in front of me.

I can't stop myself from falling in love with him.

[Nam-sook] There have always been couples running away and eloping.

My passport, why?

[Ji-Yeon] I think Dad always wanted to see this side of you, Ji-woo.

[Ji-woo] I can do it.

[Ji-Yeon] Let's get into trouble.
