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

We can't.

I can't feel any more guilty about Namgung.

What about me?

Are you okay with feeling guilty toward me?

You said you liked that.

You said making people feel guilty is how you win their hearts.

Get out. You're pissing me off.

Go on in. It's late.

And don't ever do this again.

Did you clean it?

You have to, three times a day.

Or it'll scar--

Doing this won't change anything.

It only puts Manager Eom at risk.

So stay out of this.

Do you really want that?

Do you really want me to stop?

You don't, do you?

You actually want me

to fight to the end more than anyone else, right?

You want me to do what you can't. Am I wrong?

Yes, you're wrong.

I'm sick of ending things this way.

Where were you?

How's rehab? Are you all done?

Yes, they said it's fine.

You can stay here until you find a place.

Is everything

okay at work?

You've been working late a lot lately.

Take care of yourself.

Why aren't you answering?

Are you crazy? You shouldn't be here.

I said go, and you actually left?

Since when do you listen to me?

You know I was just mad.

You know I've got a shitty temper and this is what I do.

You know I didn't mean that!

Why can't you give in even once?

I give in to you nonstop.

Why can't you give in just once?

Do you even like me at all?

You give in?

Don't I?

No, you don't.

I'm the one who gives in to you.

You give in? Like hell you do.

Look at us now.

You can come whenever, but I can't.

I can't get mad even when you cry over Namgung Ho!

Tell me.

When have you ever given in?

I'm still seeing you.

You asked whether I'd save Namgung Ho or my dad,

and I'm still seeing you.

You tore open my deepest wound, and I'm still seeing you.

I'm hurting someone more precious than my life,

but I'm still seeing you.

Move.

It's my fault.

I said it's my fault.

No, it's not.

It's not her fault.

It's all my fault.

Hilarious.

Mi-do really is giving in.

ATTORNEY HAN TAE-SEUNG

12. WHO DO WE LOVE THE MOST?

Are you okay?

LEE MI-DO

WHERE ARE YOU?

PICK UP!

Is Namgung Ho always that hotheaded?

Oh.

Why are you giving in to me?

Yes?

Long time no see.

Wow, it's shabbier than I thought.

Isn't it?

Go ruin the Taegye-ri wind farm project.

My father-in-law's district desperately needs that project.

I'm aware.

Goyeong became the second choice because of Taegye-ri, right?

Oh.

CEO Seo, or…

Mr. Seo Ju-hyeok.

I've been keeping tabs on your father-in-law.

And I can guess why you're here.

Taegye-ri is looking for a lawyer,

and no one's better suited than you.

Just talk them into registering a business

to get proper land compensation.

I'll handle the rest.

It's so easy for you, isn't it?

Toss someone aside, pick them back up.

I'm allowed to.

I'm allowed to do that.

Just show your cards.

You didn't come for no reason.

About Director Lee Mi-do…

How is she?

You like her?

I'm disappointed.

All you dug up is my love life?

And someone I only saw out of boredom, at that.

Nothing else?

I'm the one who's disappointed.

Tae-seung.

You've been talking

way too much.

You should do what you're told.

LEE SI-WOO, CORP. FINANCE 2

Yes, sir.

Hey.

About Lee Mi-do's mother's place,

as we discussed,

file for demolition, restitution, and damages.

Attach the land encroachment survey and apply for a provisional disposition.

Oh, and earlier, I--

The pacing drags too much.

You said three minutes. I hit that.

No, I meant the first ten seconds drag too much.

-Really? -Look, Director Lee.

Like I said, the B-roll is too long.

The viewer drop-off rate will skyrocket.

This isn't a movie.

Cutting shots won't help.

You need jump cuts here to pick up the tempo.

Never mind, we'll do it.

Yes, we'll do it.

We didn't mean it like that, Director Lee.

We went too far. We're sorry.

I didn't mean to sigh.

I just didn't sleep well.

It's okay. Call it out when needed.

Yes.

Being harsh?

That's fine.

Better than not knowing.

Your blatant attitude bugged me a bit,

but given how I treated you, I'll let it slide as payback.

As for the sigh,

I'll treat it as a bodily function.

But…

if you're going to teach me, do it right.

Properly. Like how I taught you guys.

Okay?

Let's take five.

Feel free to badmouth me.

Why did you have to sigh?

Why did you talk like that?

TAK JACKSON

Luc Mi-do, you still alive?

Are you avoiding me, too? Ghosting me?

Traitor.

Reaching three million tickets? It's meaningless.

Oh, make that four million.

I'm so bored and lonely.

Isn't this your boyfriend's company?

HUNMIN CONFECTIONERY

HUNMIN CAUGHT SWAPPING KOREAN SWEET POTATOES FOR CHEAP IMPORTS

Did you see this article?

What's this?

Isn't this fake?

Things might get out of hand.

The company didn't know this?

Hello, this is Hunmin Confectionery.

No, that report is false.

-Internally… -Please hold, sorry.

Please hold…

Yes, as for returns…

Yes, internally, we're…

Is it not confirmed yet?

Who's the whistleblower?

We're done. The stock's going to tank.

Man, what do we do?

Is everything

okay at work?

The number you have dialed is not available.

Please leave a message after the tone…

You did this, right? I won't forgive you.

I will never, ever forgive you this time.

I'm going to the police. I'm suing--

ASSISTANT MANAGER NAMGUNG

ASSISTANT MANAGER NAMGUNG

Straight-up ignoring my calls, huh?

You got a death wish?

Still haven't found Pudgy a home?

I can already imagine.

You were probably super picky and rejected everyone.

The company will put out a rebuttal tomorrow.

The usual playbook. Smear the whistleblower.

They'll say it was leaked for money,

so the claims can't be trusted.

Totally predictable.

I didn't leak it.

-I really didn't. -I know it wasn't you.

Who was it?

Who took your files?

The company already has

records of payment from two outlets,

naming TF Team 3's Park Su-a,

with proof confirming your ID.

Unless something changes,

you're facing trade secret violations,

bribery, and ethics violations.

You'll face the disciplinary panel tomorrow.

Then a police investigation.

So tell me.

You know who did it.

This is my mess.

I'll handle it.

How are you going to handle it?

Things are bad. Don't you get it?

I do.

I do, so please stay out of it.

Manager Eom told me.

The phone data wasn't recovered.

You'll get in trouble if you keep getting involved.

And…

I really couldn't bear that.

So please…

Please stay out of it.

I really thought I could do it.

I really did.

But…

I guess I was wrong.

I really was wrong.

YEONG-DO

His vitals have all stabilized now.

We need more tests for brain damage,

so be sure to get them done.

I see, thank you.

Living like a corpse wasn't enough,

so now you've got a death wish?

Even as a pro, I'd black out once or twice a year.

It's no big deal.

As for looking for Baek Bo-ra's music box or whatever,

tell me you'll stop now.

Or I'm telling Mom everything.

I mean it.

You want to turn Mom into a living corpse?

You little punk!

I left the ER less than two hours ago.

Jeez.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Oh, Mi-do.

Mi-do, where are you going?

Hey, Mi…

Oh, shit.

What?

Help me out here! Ho!

Tie him up!

I can't see! Ho, I can't see anything!

Hit him, Mi-do!

Are you crazy?

No, cut it out!

Are you insane?

What are you doing? Stop it!

Don't just watch! Stop her!

Mi-do, stop! That's enough.

You two live however you want, so why can't I?

Why can't I?

Mi-do, why are you stopping?

Beat him up more! This bastard must be nuts.

Go for it, Mi-do!

Say you'll never go in the water again.

No.

You little bastard!

He's your brother.

Think this will make him listen?

Only go on weekends, with me.

Then I'll stop them from beating you up.

Hey.

Answer me.

Okay.

Hey, Bo-ra!

What are you doing here?

I was so worried--

You mean annoyed.

What?

Am I wrong?

What do you mean? Stop accusing me.

Don't look at me like that.

Don't look at me like you're sick of me.

You shouldn't have saved me then.

You should've just let me die.

Then I'd remember you as the Lee Wan-do who loved me.

The music box…

I threw it into Seokchon Lake.

You know, right?

That I can't sleep without it.

When I die, make sure you find it.

If you don't…

I'll never rest because of you, even in death.

Bo-ra.

Are you still unable to rest?

Are you still not at peace…

because of me?

How many meters today?

Two hundred meters.

Or maybe 250.

Sorry.

I made you worry earlier.

But look.

I'm really struggling.

It's just too hard.

I tried to hold out until the fifth anniversary of Bo-ra's death,

but I can't do this anymore.

Stop using Bo-ra as an excuse.

Stop lying.

After you had inner ear barotrauma six years ago,

your dive times got worse, your ranking fell,

and you never got your old form back.

Right when you had to end your athletic career,

at your most hopeless moment, Bo-ra died.

Sure, your feelings for her

include guilt.

That's part of it. Of course it is. But Wan-do…

If you're truly sorry for her, don't live like this.

She'd be so heartbroken.

If she knew she's an excuse to shut yourself away,

it would break her heart.

His CT and MRI came back normal.

You know he won't stop just because we tell him to.

I'll take full responsibility for him,

so don't worry.

Are you really going to dive with Wan-do on weekends?

You know I'm certified.

I'm not afraid of water like you.

Because you gritted your teeth.

All because of me.

You were terrified, but you pushed through it anyway.

When Wan-do first said he wanted to swim,

and I agreed,

you started swimming lessons that day.

I know everything.

Namgung.

You'd do anything for me.

And I feel the same way.

But you know what?

At least I lived for myself.

Even with film,

I did what I wanted

and saw it through to the end.

But you never did.

I take it back.

I take back telling you…

to stop liking her.

Namgung.

Do whatever you want.

Whatever it is, whatever choice you make.

Do whatever you want.

Don't even think about me.

Just…

do it all.

DAMUNGOL THE WORST NOODLE SHOP IN TOWN

ONLY TOTAL SUCKERS EAT HERE

What are you going to do about this?

I can't just let this slide.

I apologize.

I'll make sure it's repainted today.

I'm so sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

He started it…

He insulted Mom!

Called her a greedy tutor witch!

Lee Sang-su.

I apologize.

Just go. I'll handle it.

How? With a settlement?

Mun-yeong.

Do you remember the 47 vows

I made when I proposed?

With the sub-clauses, it was 52.

Right, 52.

I couldn't keep them all, but I'll definitely keep this one.

To be a good father to Sang-su.

I'll definitely keep that.

Mun-yeong.

Congrats on your marriage.

Have a happy life.

I'm heading out.

Hey…

What? You want to know if he treats me well? If I'm happy?

No, that's not it. Just…

check who the insurance beneficiary is.

Why is such a young, handsome guy dating you?

Vet him before you marry him.

I can get a PI.

Why, you little…

Hey!

BROTHER CLEANING

Your mom was a really good teacher.

If not for her irritable bowel syndrome,

she'd have passed the certification exam.

And your mom donates the most among celebrity instructors.

Almost as if her only son's inheritance didn't matter.

As long as you know.

Whatever people say about your mom,

calling her money-crazy or whatever,

you just need to know she isn't like that.

So we're just going to do nothing?

Dad, I toned it down because I didn't want to shock you.

I never said I'd do nothing.

Son.

You should've called your dad for this.

And for this,

you use industrial-grade.

Got it?

What do I put?

"Beautiful Instructor Ko Mun-yeong."

Got it.

15 YEARS RUNNING… BEAUTIFUL INSTRUCTOR…

Why didn't you follow the internal reporting procedures?

I couldn't trust them.

That is your subjective judgment.

Company policy dictates that matters be handled through internal channels.

By your own rules,

you should've investigated the corruption suspects first.

Regarding that,

the audit team is currently investigating the facts.

Then have you investigated me already?

Did you check my attendance records for the date and time

the Gangmu Daily reporter claimed I exchanged the files for money?

How thoroughly did you verify the possibility

that the USB files given to reporters

were fabricated or leaked without authorization?

DISCIPLINARY PANEL MEMBER, CHAIR

I will not explain a single thing

to this committee with no procedural legitimacy.

If you want my explanation,

do a proper investigation by the rules first.

It's for the best.

Once I gathered all the files,

I was going to offer them up to an executive I trust

and ride their coattails.

But there's nobody I trust.

Is having good character and competence

while being squeaky clean really hard?

Man…

Forget it. It's over anyway, damn it.

I told you to just be a good dad to Su-min.

That alone is a huge deal.

I'm not that great of a dad to Su-min.

Lately, I keep losing my temper

at Su-min.

Who am I living like this for?

I want to quit hundreds of times a day,

but it's all for that piano she loves so much…

Then suddenly, I had a thought.

"Did anyone tell me to live like this?"

At this rate, I thought I might…

really end up hating Su-min.

So, for one last time, I wanted to do what I wanted.

Go all in on life.

So I took the plunge, and…

Damn it.

I knew it'd happen, so no regrets.

I'm glad. What a relief.

I mean it.

Such a relief.

Fine!

Yes, I regret it, you bastard! Okay?

Why didn't you stop me?

You know how I get. Why didn't you stop me?

You have my wife's number.

You could've called her, you brat!

Why didn't you call?

Why didn't you stop me? Why?

Because I was rooting for you.

I truly was.

Because I wanted you to make director.

At least double the current payout!

Double…

COMMUNITY HALL

So you mean,

to get more than the land compensation,

we need to register a business?

Exactly.

Sell it as forest land, it's 20,000 won per 3.3 square meters.

-Twenty thousand won. -That only covers makgeolli and pajeon.

But as a business site,

it's makgeolli, pajeon, and yellowtail sashimi!

-Sashimi? -Sashimi!

On top of the land payout, you'll get extra compensation

such as structure and business losses.

-Will it work? -Okay.

Sounds good,

but if project costs go up and another town snatches it,

then what do we do?

-Won't we be left empty-handed? -Right.

You don't need to worry about that.

Now, here in Taegye-ri,

the wind coming over the ridges is steady all year round.

-Right. -A location like this--

How do I get to the store?

Go ahead and introduce yourselves.

This is the wonderful lawyer from Seoul

who's helping with our wind farm.

And she just came out here today

on a spontaneous trip. What did you say you do?

-I'm unemployed. -Unemployed.

Hello. I'm Lee Mi-do.

What's going on?

Explain.

Didn't you check the forecast? No umbrella?

Don't change the subject. Tell me what's going on.

I saw Seo Ju-hyeok coming out of your office.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

I found a lawyer for Taegye-ri.

Yes, you don't need to worry at all.

I had no choice.

Seo Ju-hyeok knows about you and me.

I really didn't want to do it, either.

I'll give you one last chance

to tell the truth.

Tae-seung, I know you much better than you think.

It's not something I wanted, but I do.

So just be honest with me.

Can you live in a place like this?

How does it feel to wake up and go to sleep

in a place like this?

The man who put me in here has no right to ask that.

So I'm thinking of getting you out.

What, you don't want me to?

Tae-seung.

You can't survive in here.

I mean,

you could never.

You know why?

Because I made you

into someone who can't.

Right?

I can't let myself go to waste.

I'm too good to just rot away like this.

I know what it took to get here.

I clawed like hell to crawl out of that gutter.

If I let this opportunity go,

I might regret it my whole life.

I'm really sorry,

but I don't want to be like you.

I don't want to lose this chance

and feel the fear you feel.

Leave.

Whatever you say, I won't change my mind.

Don't kid yourself.

You think I came to persuade you?

No. Seeing how you act will kill any feelings I have left.

That's why I came.

Seeing how vile you are up close,

I'll be able to erase every feeling I have left.

That's why I'm here.

We have four days.

After that, I don't want to remember a jerk like you.

I refuse to remember someone who's far more despicable

than I ever imagined.

I'm glad I came.

It's good I came.

I want to forget you, too!

I'm the one

who wants to completely forget about someone like you, got that?

Great.

Then let's both try hard to forget.

-Hey! -Watch your tone!

Watch your tone, Mr. Han Tae-seung.

ASSISTANT MANAGER NAMGUNG

Hey, Namgung Ho.

Hello?

I know you're listening.

Are you really not coming?

I even gave you my door code.

The day we first met on Haemado.

That's the door code.

You…

I warned you.

Don't get involved in this.

I know you feel for Manager Eom,

but it's already too late for him.

It's far too late.

Hey.

Are you listening?

Yes, I'm listening.

You're day drinking just because you were placed on leave?

Shut up, you apparition.

Hey, Namgung, are you listening?

How are you going to face me after this?

I black out when I drink.

I don't remember a single thing.

I take after my dad.

That's why he was always getting drunk and causing trouble.

Seven cans in total.

After five cans,

I completely black out.

You sure?

Yes.

That's why I only drink at home.

Why?

Jealous?

What's this?

Why does this feel so real?

So annoying.

I really wanted to do this…

at least once.

Hey, you apparition.

Let go.

Hey!

You did nothing wrong.

So don't ever regret it.

Great work.

You really did an excellent job,

Su-a.

CALL RECORDING: ASSISTANT MANAGER NAMGUNG

MOVE THIS RECORDING TO TRASH?

ALL RECORDINGS

What? I'm fine.

Mi-do.

Don't forget me too quickly.

And don't forget everything.

I'm really sorry I'm like this.

But ten days a year…

No.

A week.

Actually, no.

Even three days is enough.

Just think of me sometimes.

Otherwise, it'll feel so unfair.

Hey!

More often than just sometimes…

Maybe I'll think of you way more often than sometimes.

Just promise me one thing.

Don't make me regret having feelings for you.

Please,

Tae-seung.

Wash up while I heat this.

We have somewhere to go.

I found where Ji Su-yeon is.

I'll go with you.

It's a misunderstanding.

I happened to see the files on your laptop,

and as a Hunmin Confectionery customer,

I thought the public needed to know.

You were torn about blowing the whistle, weren't you?

But that's wrong, isn't it?

I know you work for them, but people have a right to know.

Su-a, when it really matters, you only think of yourself.

You're selfish.

I'm selfish?

You always say I'm selfish.

-Aren't you? -No, I'm not.

I actually knew all along.

But you meant so much to me,

so I kept pretending not to know,

just so we could stay friends.

Why did we…

end up like this?

Who made me end up this way?

You did.

You're living like this because of yourself, not me.

Su-a.

All that trash of yours.

Stop dumping it on me.

It's all yours.

You'll hear from the police.

I filed charges for accessing and leaking files.

You think you're so great.

Always acting so smart, principled, and moral.

Do you know how suffocating it is to be around you?

You make everyone else look bad just to protect yourself.

That's why your dad left you.

Because you disgusted him.

Are you done?

Keep going if you're not.

I'll listen.

Su-yeon.

You didn't leave

the slightest scratch on me.

Because of you,

I've grown to love myself more.

Because of you, I'll probably be sad, hurt, and struggling for a long time.

But even so,

I won't change myself for you.

Because I wasn't wrong.

I was right.

I'll live a better life than anyone.

I'll be happy.

I handled it well.

I know. I saw.

You were watching?

Yes.

You're so mean.

Why were you watching? You're so weird.

I thought you'd look cool.

And you really did.

Su-a.

Because of you, I've grown to love myself more.

So thank you.

And fantasies do exist.

Except,

every fantasy is a long story.

HINES OFFICETEL

Assistant Manager Namgung.

Is it really okay?

If I…

don't regret it?

Were you lying to me?

I usually don't remember.

I really don't.

But maybe because you pinched me…

I'm annoyed, too.

Then keep pretending you don't remember.

I'll pretend I don't.

But let's make eye contact.

We only have three days left.

Go ahead.

Me too.

Thanks to you,

I've grown to love myself more, too.

Thank you.

15 YEARS RUNNING, STUDENT SATISFACTION RATE

BEAUTIFUL INSTRUCTOR KO MUN-YEONG

TAEGYE-RI YOUNG ADULTS' ASSOCIATION

THANK YOU TO SEO JIN-WON FOR HIS SPECIAL APPEARANCE

Let's form an alliance.

How about a strategic approach?

Lee Mi-do is seeing that lawyer punk from his army days,

and he's dating a junior at work.

There's not been a single moment

when I've been happy. You know that?

You're starting to fall for me, right?

Then keep falling for me.

You did nothing wrong.

It's all my fault.
