LAST EPISODE

Soo-ho,

have you ever walked with someone, holding hands like this?

No.

-So, am I the first? -Yes.

Then...

have you cried?

That's a first, too.

So you're sharing a lot of firsts with me.

That's right.

A lot of reporters were in front of your home.

You should've told me.

I can let you sleep in my place any time.

By the way...

you're suffering from reporters and fans because of me.

I'm fine. I'm enjoying the cameras following me.

And...

I thought of somewhere you can sleep.

-Why did you bring me here? -Shh. Wait.

SLEEPING ROOM

Sleep here for a bit.

-Here? -Yes.

The beds are so good. You fall asleep right away.

You must not have gotten to sleep since the press conference.

What about you?

Well...

the radio show will start soon.

While you sleep, I'll revise my script.

What about me?

-What? -What?

What?

-What if we get caught? -Then what?

I don't know.

Then, will you get fired?

For this?

I don't think so.

If you won't be fired,

sleep with me just for two hours.

After that, I will go live instead of playing a recording.

Really?

I want to do the radio program.

OK.

Let's get some sleep and wake up together.

What is this?

Soo-ho wants to do it live.

I saw the press conference.

I was a bit worried. Are you OK?

So, do you really want to go live?

What's this? You said we would play a recording!

No?

Why are you so loud in the morning?

Sorry.

Let's get ready.

Are you ready?

Nothing is set today. You'll have to lead the program.

That's what a radio program is. Nothing is set.

Soo-ho.

When I first brought you to the program,

I expected your brand effect.

I wanted many listeners.

I thought many people would like the show that you host.

But now, regardless of your brand value,

I like you as a person.

-I just wanted to tell you that. -Why are you telling me that now?

Well, what better time than 4:00 a.m. to say such a cringey thing?

Are you ready?

There are a lot of stories about me these days.

The headlines are flooded with stories about me and my family.

DIVORCE APPLICATION

I feel relieved to clear the air.

Isn't that strange?

And...

after I unmasked myself,

I got to experience many things for the first time.

I got to love someone for the first time.

I got to be loved by someone for the first time.

If you look at me like that,

I want to hold you.

I cried for the first time.

I smiled for the first time.

And I slept well for the first time.

Let's go.

I also had courage for someone for the first time.

And...

I heard these words for the first time.

One holding another means

one is willing to embrace another's life.

"...willing to embrace another's life."

So I want to say this for the first time.

I'm willing to embrace her life.

I was worried about you as you faked your smile.

It looked like you were on the edge, hiding your feelings.

I wanted to bring out your past self.

If I can make excuses...

for you who cannot sleep because of trauma,

I thought having you face your past was the option.

I wanted to help you as a doctor and as your friend.

But this is how it went.

What you needed was compassion,

as Geu-rim gives you.

I'm sorry, Soo-ho.

You were fine and I turned you upside down.

I've heard enough. Now go.

CEO Nam...

didn't ask me to dig up your dirt.

She also wanted to know the real you.

She might have wanted to understand you.

I've been praying every day ever since you came back,

so that no trouble happens.

I pray desperately.

And again--

What? Did Korea Communications Commission ask me to come?

How did you know?

Because I let the controversial Soo-ho talk about his personal stories?

They found out all the problems we caused.

I'll go then.

I haven't worn a suit for a while.

Did you see what I did?

Sit there and just nod quietly.

Never get mad at them, OK?

Namaste!

I believe in you.

Namaste!

Are you having too hard a time?

I should. I asked for it.

I've thought about this for the last few days.

It must've been hard for you to see me.

But,

why didn't you abandon me?

Why did you make me...

the way I am today?

I told you on your birthday,

"You're not my son."

I hurt your feelings when you were so young.

I've been hurting all my life.

Still, you often called me Mother.

You still do.

I can only think of this these days.

I pushed you away and I denied you.

But you were still there.

What's the occasion? You're wearing a tie.

I have a blind date today.

I was told she was nice and gentle, unlike you.

Blind date?

So, you want a girlfriend?

How's your mom?

She's been eating and leaving the house.

What's this about?

I have to go to Korea Communications Commission.

You should've dressed like this all along!

I'm going.

He looks hot!

Because he's tall.

Is he going on a blind date?

Our team has lots of trouble.

I'll visit the office shortly.

It's not serious, is it?

Hey, just write your script.

Let's go. He's been glaring at me.

I will go now. There won't be a big problem.

Are you kidding?

What is broadcasting?

Doesn't it allow anyone to voice his opinion?

A radio program is not Ji Soo-ho's personal channel.

You think broadcasting is child's play?

Your program also has lots of issues.

Did you make incidents for the sake of popularity?

Radio is a one-way medium that listeners can only listen to.

Are you serious?

How is radio a one-way communication?

Haven't I told you many times that radio is two-way?

I have no reason to hear criticism from you who know nothing.

If you have no knowledge,

just shut up and get paid.

Jeez!

What's wrong? It's not going well?

Then, maybe we can take 30 minute--

Why are you working so hard?

Producer Lee is trying so hard. I should, too.

I want to write really well.

Is there anything I can do?

Maybe I can read something,

-so that you can get quotes-- -No.

I need to be alone so I can concentrate.

What? Why? What's wrong?

What am I going to do?

What's wrong? Are you sick?

I'm going crazy!

Look. Everything I wrote is gone!

My laptop has been acting up the last few days.

It shut down and won't turn on. What am I going to do?

Don't worry. I will take care of this.

Why?

They couldn't repair it?

Everything is gone?

It's OK. I'll write it again.

I will use all the energy I have to rewrite it.

I had them fix it.

Did you? Really?

I like you so much!

You promised to grant me one wish.

I went through all those reporters.

I will do anything. What is it?

I will tell you later.

Are you crazy? Do you have more than one life?

They're all strongly demanding that you be fired!

Oh, my god, this temper!

Listen.

They couldn't even wait until schedule restructuring.

So, should I have tolerated them badmouthing my program and DJ?

Yes. You should have.

If you wanted to do the radio show and get a regular paycheck,

you should have!

So, all the staff and DJ stay and I'm the only one gone, right?

That's why I told you to nod and do nothing!

Can I produce the last program?

I should wrap up, shouldn't I?

Come quick.

Producer Lee is leaving again! Our team will be dissolved again!

Does it make sense?

How could they discipline you again in this quiet radio station?

Do you know this?

Snow changes people's music tastes.

Of course. Rain does the same.

Today's sound--

Can only be made today. I know!

I know that's correct.

Then, choose the right songs!

-Can't you do a better job? -Producer!

What's going on?

You're a writer!

I told you to come one hour before the show.

Lazy bones!

At the Commission, I lost control and yelled at them.

Our program will now be produced by Lee Min-woo.

Today is my last program.

So let's go live for my last program.

"Every moment was necessary.

When I cried.

Let's stop this.

When I laughed."

Let's do it again.

"When I was hurting.

When I was sad.

Every moment was necessary for me."

I... I love you.

I just want to like her.

I'll continue to like her.

"If every moment was necessary to make me who I am now,

I'll enjoy happiness...

with all these people here, right now."

Ji Soo-Ho's Radio Romance.

Today is the last day for our producer.

We're not very close.

He is a bit strange.

But I feel sad to say goodbye.

This song is for our producer.

"Go" by The Name.

What am I going to do now?

How am I supposed to do radio without you?

Your script was good today.

You know me.

I have a bad temper.

I only like the best.

And I insisted on you.

Your writing has sincerity to people.

Producer Lee...

I liked when you called me "newbie."

When I didn't know anything,

I was glad you got mad at me, saying, "You're a writer, too."

I was happy that you made me a writer.

I didn't make you. You did it yourself.

Oh, my.

I DID NOT MAKE YOU. YOU DID IT BY YOURSELF.

You have to leave a quote until the last minute.

You're a real writer now.

Can I ever meet someone like you again?

Ta-da!

I cook really well. Try it.

My goal is to be a great housewife.

Why don't you try it?

It'll be good.

I used to cook this with recipes from blogs. It shouldn't be bad.

It looks good.

I can't eat. They are so precious.

Hurry and try it.

Isn't it good?

Mom.

Tell me if you want to say something. Why are you just smiling?

Because I'm happy to just see him.

You said Soo-ho was so handsome all night.

Mom!

You two are great together.

Oh, eat now. Eat as much as you want.

Yes.

It's very good.

Really?

Then, can I call you my son-in-law?

Stop teasing him.

Why? Aren't you going to marry her?

Sure. I will marry her.

What are you talking about?

Eat all you want, son-in-law!

Yes, mother-in-law.

By the way, Producer Lee left the program.

Why?

I don't know. Our program is in trouble.

I'm curious about something.

Do you like Lee Kang that much?

Does he come here and stuff?

Oh, my.

Why would a man come to my room?

You're the only one.

Right?

This is for you.

What? Why did you come in here?

Shall we drink soju together one last time?

Geu-rim!

Don't you remember Soo-ho brought some writers and humiliated you?

You forgot all about that and date him now.

About her...

she knows nothing,

but she hustles and annoys people.

I'm not annoyed. I like her.

Hey.

Soo-ho just memorizes his lines,

with no emotion. What do you like about him?

But I still like him.

Whatever.

She is so clear about what she likes.

She survived to be a writer.

She is my pride.

-I'm so proud. -Oh, my!

Oh, my...

Don't go. What would we do without you?

-What? -Did you hear that?

This is the difference between you and me.

Why are you crying?

Producer Lee is...

What about him?

Don't cry like this.

-He's leaving tomorrow. -What?

Where?

He's going home.

Soo-ho!

I know I'm not Geu-rim, but I'm leaving a message.

This is a bit cringey,

but I had one last thing to say to you.

My DJ will always be you.

I wanted to hear, "My producer will always be you."

But I only heard, "You punk!"

Still, you're my DJ.

You punk! You have to look cool until the moment of departure.

Don't make Geu-rim cry,

unless it's happy tears, OK?

That's none of your business.

Lee Kang!

What are you, a female lead in a drama?

-What? -You're neither my first love,

nor a woman that I cannot afford to lose.

Why do you make me run and answer to you?

What are you talking about?

OK. For me...

Damn it.

My producer will always be you.

Oh, my!

What are you talking about?

Why do you come here and be cringey like that?

I know... This is so cringey.

I'm going now.

OK. Bye.

Why are you all dry again?

-Go! -I'm going!

Give me your hand.

This is a gift.

You wanted to buy my house, right?

You're so naughty.

Do you want to stay with Geu-rim all the time?

I'm giving this to you so you can protect her. So do well.

Take care. I'm really leaving.

I sent him off. Where are you?

I'm waiting for you.

-When are you coming? -Soon. Wait.

Huh? This is Soo-ho.

What?

Come to the radio booth. I found something interesting.

Here is young Soo-ho.

Is he Woo Ji-woo?

Woo Ji-woo?

Do you know him?

Of course, I remember him.

He went to the finals in our annual singing competition.

I have a favor to ask.

What?

Lee Kang really left.

I couldn't win him even once before he left.

How was the blind date?

Will you see her again?

I didn't go.

Why not?

Just because.

How's your light bulb?

Isn't it flickering?

It flickers... all the time.

Do you have time today?

Maybe I do.

Then...

you can come today to fix it.

Wait for me!

Isn't it a coincidence?

While we were broadcasting, Ji-woo was here.

While you say many things in the booth,

Ji-woo must've been listening.

And I found something else.

You have to return it afterwards.

This is valuable to me.

This has Ji-woo singing in the semi finals.

SINGING COMPETITION (March , 2006)

Did he sing that well that you still remember?

He was young.

But his song touched people's hearts.

But he didn't make it to the finals for some reason.

That's why I remember him more.

Should I play?

I want to listen, too.

Yes, please.

Yes.

The girl I like is a huge fan of this program.

Yes.

That's why I must go to the finals.

Are you going to confess when you go to the finals?

Yes. So please listen carefully.

WOO JI-WOO (05.07.1991 - 02.25.2006)

Thank you.

Thank you for liking me.

Thank you for giving me a chance to meet Soo-ho.

I will protect Soo-ho.

-Geu-rim! -Why, Soo-ho?

Who are you really?

Me? Song Geu-rim.

Where shall we go?

Wherever you want to go.

A place I want to go?

By the way, I see fewer reporters now.

I guess you're not popular anymore.

Stop teasing me.

I still have one wish.

What are you going to ask?

You can't say no.

OK. I got it.

But where are we going?

Can love be complete?

Can love be perfect?

Because love is incomplete,

because love is imperfect, it is beautiful.

Because of love, we become broader, crumble,

narrow-minded, and generous.

We also become weak and strong.

As love is incomplete and imperfect, we cry

and make our loved ones cry as well.

But we still love even if it fails.

Yet, I love again today.

Why are you smiling in your dream?

Cute.

You can't do this.

THREE MONTHS LATER

Your daily and guest sessions are just like ours.

This is unethical!

You've grown big, haven't you?

Yes, I've grown so big that I do more prime time show than you,

as a main writer.

OK, fine. Of course.

You can't do this either.

You copied my cue sheet.

You're so big now, aren't you?

We have the same height.

And I'm the main producer now.

-You've gotten so big! -You've gotten so big!

-Jinx. -Jeez.

-What? -What?

Darn it.

JI SOO-HO SCHEDULE

Doing public-friendly programs like this

can affect his future career.

We should get close to the public.

Stars close to the public are popular these days.

What's the use in a star being so approachable?

They are human beings, too.

Let's go, Mother. It's time.

You haven't changed, writer Song.

Why do you keep calling me writer Song?

I feel so distant.

Anyway, happy birthday!

So you still haven't won an award--

Of course, I haven't.

How could I have received those awards in such a short time?

Career is not a mileage.

Why are you laughing?

Anyway, you said you'd never fall for him,

you have nothing to do with him, and you're not crazy.

Aren't you the one who swore "never"?

Nothing in life is absolute.

You also say things that you don't really mean.

But that's how I felt at that time.

How would I have known that we would date?

So be generous on us.

And this is not a luxury gift.

But as you're luxury, I prepared something simple.

I knew when you were acting like that.

She's still so charismatic!

I was nervous.

But don't you think she kind of liked me?

Yes.

Don't you need to see a doctor?

I took a pill, so I will be fine.

Do you want me to prick your finger?

Wait!

This isn't your first time, right?

It's the first time.

I don't hold any woman's hand and arms.

Wait.

Oh, I remembered.

When we had a planning meeting,

you grabbed Kang's hand and pricked his finger.

Why are you suddenly talking about that?

You come to work with Kang and leave work with Kang.

Shall I go to Tibet to see him?

Hold on.

I think I'm fine now.

Do you feel better now?

You might think I'm being weird.

But I want to marry you.

I want to prick your finger when you have indigestion.

You run away, and I follow you.

I want to live like that.

Forever with you.

Then, break up with me.

There are a lot of people. Be quiet.

What does that have to do with this? I can't even come to a birthday party?

It was the party for someone

who confessed his feelings for you!

Are you a stalker? How did you find that out?

I know.

I know you went to the party and had lots of fun at the club.

Then let's break up.

If you can't trust me, we should break up!

I will take it as-is.

"I don't want to call or see you. Lets break up." Is that it?

Do you think I'll be scared?

Break up!

Song Geu-rim!

Did you come again?

So we need Ji Soo-ho to be our guest.

-What? -Bring him as a guest.

OK? Are you going to do nothing about our low rating?

No!

What kind of girlfriend are you?

Bringing a guest is the writer's job.

If the ratings stays low like this, I will have to quit.

Please... save me.

So...

can you please be our guest?

What about my proposal?

I don't know.

I don't know, either.

Soo-ho, what character do you play in this drama?

It's not an ordinary character.

I play an impulsive--

Soo-ho!

Please be our guest for the show.

It's not that hard.

So, will you marry me or not?

Why are you changing the subject?

I'm here to cast you--

Someone like me will tuck you in,

wake you up, buy you good food,

hold you,

and love you. Wouldn't it be great?

It would be great.

Let's get married.

It's not that easy.

Then, let me ask you one thing.

Do you like me or not?

I like you.

Then...

Let's get married.

You're crazy.

Kim Joon-woo!

Just because we fought and I got mad at you,

are you not going to call me?

-I told you I won't-- -Why won't you? Why?

Stop! Stop there!

I'll kill you if you just leave!

I'll kill you if you leave because you're sorry!

Keep it down!

Where would I go?

You're the only one I have.

What's this?

You have no faith in our love or me.

Rings are worse.

My mom got rings from three different men,

but she is alone now.

What?

Come with me.

JIN TAE-RI MARRY ME

What's this?

This is so childish.

I wanted to make it nice.

But I can't take you anywhere because of people.

I'll be your life manager forever.

Live with me.

Don't ever go to a club again.

I won't.

I really like this song. What was the title?

What was it?

Ah, right!

-So you just let my hand go... -Where are we going?

As a superstar,

I'll make a memorable--

Hold on.

Jeez, this DJ.

Why is he calling so often? Don't pick up.

No, he might disappear again.

Hello?

Welcome!

Writer Song.

I feel so lonely and upset.

You're the only one I could call.

DJ. Why do you call her everytime when you're upset?

Why do you always come with her?

My life is so sad.

My life as a singer seems to be over.

There's nothing much in radio either.

I feel so embarrassed.

This is what happens to losers.

You shouldn't say that in front of her...

Listen. There was a DJ that I knew...

He made something like slave contract.

He wanted to have scripts and guests and everything his way.

Then, he completely ignored me.

He treated me like his driver and manager.

Then, he didn't even use my script.

-Is there such a bad puck? -Yes, there was.

Everytime he sees me,

he asked if I've received any award, hurting my self-esteem.

It sounds like he was a real scumbag.

Yes.

But he did his best with the radio show.

He didn't just do it like you.

He wanted to do everything with full effort.

He was not good, but tried to be real.

Meeting such a DJ is a fortunate thing for a writer.

So, can you be a DJ like that?

Please?

When are you going to say yes?

Our DJ is sick again.

I don't believe it anymore.

Where do you think he is? What would he be doing?

Please message us of his whereabouts.

I'll go and catch him.

WHERE IS MY LOVE? WRITER NEEDS TO CHILL DOWN

I'm not worked up!

It's not my fault, but your love's fault!

Here's a song for you.

Did he disappear again?

Don't just scratch your head.

Don't you have to do something as a producer?

Think of Lee Kang.

Why do you bring him up?

And when is Soo-ho coming?

-I told everyone already. -I don't know. Why are you asking me?

I'm asking you because he's your boyfriend.

When is that punk coming?

That punk is here.

Your script is not as good as before.

I guess you don't care much.

Maybe you don't know because you quit DJing long time ago.

-This is the trend-- -What's this?

Do you like the DJ?

Why are you writing something like this here?

Why do you care?

You're not my DJ.

I'm not doing this.

I won't do this.

-What do you want? -You.

Stop goofing around.

-What are you doing after this? -What's wrong with you?

Make time. I'm going to propose to you.

Hello, I'm Ji Soo-ho.

It's been a while.

Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance...

is over.

But I'll be your DJ for today.

If you can look outside now,

look at the sky.

It's time for the blue sky to turn red.

We have this beautiful sky.

So hurry and love.

You remembered that script?

Of course.

You became a radio writer to say that.

It was just a few months ago.

But many things happened with you.

I know.

Let's keep walking together.

Hold my hand, and only cry in front of me.

And... I have a wish left.

What?

I'll do this forever.
