Unemployment Benefit Romance

I saw you on TV.

It's not your fault, Seung Hee.

He was nice to me, so I thought he liked me...

But he's Jong Dae's friend.

If it wasn't for him, you'd be the writer instead of Seon Joo.

- Let's break up. - Let's break up after my exam.

Hey, what are you doing with this bastard here?

Jong Dae!

But after my 10-year relationship, my heart wasn't healed so easily.

At least you get unemployment check.

Right, unemployment pay!

Didn't you go too far? You even sold my car...

Why are yo so nice to me?

There is only one reason that a person is nice to another person.

An interest in that person.

[2001]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you!

What are you doing? Like a beggar getting food for free...

Be quiet! Someone could hear you.

Why do you keep thanking the waiter, Mom?

When did I do that?

They add 10 percent gratuity here, right?

- Twenty percent? - What?

You've told me you wanted to come to a place like this.

Don't worry, just eat.

How can I not worry? Do you know how much we

went over the limit on the card for next month?

I'm getting promoted to a director. Just wait.

And don't be shocked when you see my salary on the account.

I told you we should come here after the promotion.

I'm sure. It just hasn't been announced.

Everyone already calls me, 'Director Kim.'

Mom, can I order a drink then?

Just drink water.

You told me to eat whatever I want since I got into college!

Right. That's true.

You're going to a top college, and your father is becoming a director...

It's not like we shouldn't come here.

Alright, then since Jong Dae is now an adult, let's have wine.

Okay.

What wine!

We have homemade fruit wine laying around at home.

I'm not eating.

If you're going to be like this, let's just go home and eat rice.

Okay okay, let's have it.

It's all your fault.

I've only had tough times...

why should I come to this expensive place and feel really small?

Why is that Dad's fault?

Okay, I'm sorry.

Let's come out more often now.

Often?

If we could, that would be nice.

The ambiance is nice, too...

It's definitely different from the restaurants in our neighborhood.

- I'm ordering wine then. - Get a small bottle.

That's too much!

- You should say something. - Me?

- Make a toast. - Well...

Congratulations to Jong Dae on getting into a great college! Cheers!

Although we looked like we were there begging for food

it was full of festivities in the hearts of my family that night.

Like Mom said, a jacket is perfect for looking sharp.

Is this the public administration...

Nice to meet you.

Jeez...

Hey, I'm from the school newspaper. I'll take a picture.

You don't need to gather around, but let's fill up the seats.

Hey, you with the poop-colored jacket, come here.

- What? - Sit here, here.

Okay.

How come there are no female freshmen this year? It's so dark.

Sit down! Sit!

Okay, I'm taking it. Here we go.

Look natural.

We didn't know each other at all, how did we wear the same jacket?

[Foundations of Public Health Episode 1]

Mine was completely different from both of you.

Mine was a real luxury brand, and yours were fake brands.

You're funny. Yours looked like a fake.

By the way, are you going to school? Are you registering for classes?

I really hate walking up the hill.

I'll just have a class and register in a PC room.

You have to register soon. I hear good ones fill up quickly.

Really? Let me see... which class would have pretty girls.

Hey, let's take the foundations of public health for an elective.

Why? You think it's full of nurse-hopefuls?

The professor for the class is supposed to

be really beautiful. And a single, too.

Really?

Hey, she's really pretty for sure?

I hear she looks exactly like Lee Hyo Ri.

Lee Hyo Ri?

[Foundations of Public Health Lee Hyo Ri]

Lee Hyo Ri?

What Lee Hyo Ri? She looks like Park Kyung Rim!

I'm sorry. Spare me, please?

Over there.

What are you doing?

Pardon?

Yes, Professor!

He's so excited that you look like Lee Hyo Ri.

- So we were trying to calm him down. - That's right.

You're great!

I really don't see why Lee Hyo Ri is pretty...

and why do people tell me I look like her every time?

Well, I'll just take it as a compliment that I'm pretty.

What a human triumph!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Our class is supposedly cursed.

It's not even an engineering school, so why are there no girls?

We have Bo Ra.

Take out the seeds! The seeds!

Let's just drink.

The person is not answering the phone at the moment...

Something doesn't feel right.

Hello?

Hey, where are you?

- Where? I'm home right now. - What?

We have the public health class right now.

- Oh, didn't I tell you? I switched. - What?

- What about Gwang Pal? - He did, too.

You bastards!

Sorry. Mom's calling me to have lunch. I gotta go.

Bastards, I'll never talk to you again...

When I was looking at her, I felt like time had stopped.

You know, in the cartoon Dodgeball King Tonky

time passes differently from reality.

When Tonky rises to shoot out fire...

he thinks of all the happiness and hardships

in a split second, then comes back down.

But he still has enough time. Just like that.

So, to make it short, you are saying you met

a really pretty girl in that class.

Then you should thank us.

Who on earth is that pretty girl?

Let me see her.

Am I crazy? I know exactly what you're imagining...

I know you have undressed her hundreds of times in your head.

Of course we would.

I really don't like you.

Crazy bastard, you're already acting like her boyfriend?

Anyway, I won't tell you no matter what you say. Don't ask me.

Have you talked to her?

No.

Man, you couldn't even talk to her? And make a fuss like this?

So... how would I go out with her?

Ask her to have tea.

Why tea... I might have to kick you.

Hey... tell her straight up.

Will you sleep with me?

If you don't want to sleep with me, forget it.

Why would you waste time and money for a girl who wouldn't sleep with you?

Just meet the girls who would.

And... this works better than you think.

It's manly.

I haven't told you guys...

I'm dating a senior girl majoring in dance.

Really?

Majoring in modern dance...

Her flexibility is... killer.

Like that?

That's right. Exactly that pose.

It's killer.

By the way, why would a senior go out with you?

At our age, a mature, older girl is cooler than a girl in our age.

- Seung Hee, I'll move my seat later. - Why?

I heard from a friend that this professor has a test on wrapping a bandage.

And she makes you partner up with the person sitting next to you.

So why would you move?

You're so slow.

It would be better to partner with a cute guy if I could.

My friend told me there were quite a few people who

fell for each other during the bandage practice.

Did you pick anyone?

The guy over there.

He's not bad.

How is he 'not bad'?

He looks innocent... and he looks cute, too.

Anyway, find one for yourself, too.

I'm moving my seat then.

Hello.

Rather than theory...

If you know how to wrap a bandage, it'll be a lot more useful in real life.

We need teams of two...

so partner up with the person sitting next to you.

Yes, Professor.

My goodness.

Let's do it together.

Not like that...

Can you... hold this?

What a crappy job...

Is it a hair band? Let me.

When you wrap a bandage, you have to wrap tight, tightly like this...

so that the bleeding would stop.

Hold here.

This is how you do it.

You must be hurting.

Yes.

- You're a freshman too, right? - Yes.

- Then speak informally. - Yes.

Are you okay?

You're not...

Your capillaries, have burst...

I'm okay.

You don't look okay.

Are you worrying about me right now?

What?

Do you like me, too?

What?

So this is what you're doing in front of the

Korean literature building where she's studying?

As if you broke up with a girl you never dated?

Hey, hey, so what did she say?

- So... - Yeah?

I think she thinks I am crazy.

That's an obvious response.

The professor said we have a test next week, so the teams should practice...

but I don't know if she was upset or shocked...

she left without setting up a time.

Because it's better to avoid a crazy man.

It's over for you, you're stamped as a crazy person.

Hey, hey, drink! I'll treat you for the night!

Really? Are you sure? You?

It's a rare day.

Hey drink, drink!

- Hello. - Where are you?

Here? School. Grass.

You slept outside?

This kid! If you sleep outside, your mouth will be paralyzed!

I'm not sleeping. I was drinking until early morning and I just dozed off.

Hey! Jong Dae! Jong Dae!

What brings you here?

Well... Your Korean literature building has a nice view.

It does? We talk about how we don't like it because it's like a prison.

Oh, I didn't get to talk to you yesterday

because I had to go somewhere in a hurry...

I don't think I'll have time to practice for the test.

Really?

I'm going to Daejeon this weekend, so I won't be in Seoul.

Should I ask the professor to replace our test with a paper?

Writing a paper takes long and it's annoying, so let's not do that...

Let's go to Daejeon together. Let's meet there and practice together.

Together? Why would you go to Daejeon?

I have a friend there.

My childhood friend goes to college there.

You have a friend there...

I'm going there for a friend...

but why are you going to Daejeon?

My parents' memorial service is coming up. We have it at my sister's there.

- You don't have... your parents? - No.

Both of them?

They passed away in a car accident when I was in high school.

I made up my mind.

I'm going to protect her for the rest of my life instead of her parents.

Idiot, you do lots of dumb things.

You can't possibly go all the way to Daejon, can you?

- I'm already at the terminal. - What?

Won't she think you really are crazy now?

I told you I said I was going to see a friend.

Would she believe that?

Hey, we're going to meet after the memorial

service and practice wrapping the bandage.

You're following her all the way to Daejeon to practice wrapping a bandage?

Is that like the bar exam?

Don't go. She'll report you as a stalker!

Hey, I gotta go.

Hi.

She probably doesn't hate me...

Isn't that why she said it's okay to go together?

Crazy bastard... Do you have a place to sleep?

Sauna.

I lost it here, so you should do something about it.

Well, you should keep an eye on your stuff.

It's written right here that the owner

doesn't take responsibility for lost items.

I lost my wallet and I don't even have clothes.

What you're wearing is clothes, too.

Where would I go wearing this? I have to meet a girl today.

Seung Hee!

Seung Hee!

Hurry in.

The door's about to close. Hurry in.

Did you make all these?

No, I bought them.

It's good.

I'm really full.

Cow cloud.

You're bad.

When did you steal my heart?

Since the first time I saw you.

Even with rotten pickup lines, I wasn't embarrassed at all.

I must've fallen in love.

Really? That's what happened...

I didn't know that.

Yes, I love you.

No, I love you more. Yeah.

I got it.

Okay, good night. Dream about me.

Yes. Bye.

I'm home.

Mom!

Mom, are you sick?

Yes! My heart hurts! My heart!

Did you argue with Dad again?

Your dad got laid-off!

Dad got laid-off?

What have you been doing lately?

It was a chaos in the house all day!

What do we do now...

How are we going to make a living...

- Dad. - Oh, my son.

- Are you okay, Dad? - Of course.

I didn't start the company, so it's obvious I'd leave at some point.

It's just a little sooner than I thought.

Still, I wanted to work until you graduate from college.

I should've lasted somehow to support you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, Father. Why would you be sorry?

Why do you call me 'father' all of a sudden?

No reason.

I'm in college and I'm old enough.

Man... You're all grown up now.

Jong Dae.

Don't live like me.

What's wrong with your life?

If you want to say everything you want to

you need to become someone much better than me.

There are a lot of things missing in me.

So when the company told me to get out...

I didn't have much to say.

How can they do that? You've built so many apartments for that company.

We all did it together.

So even if someone's missing, a company does fine.

Because it doesn't matter if someone else does my job.

So I want to tell you...

I'd like you to study for the bar exam.

The bar exam?

Pass the bar and become a prosecutor, a judge or a lawyer...

and live your own life.

Yes, I'll think about it.

Not like that, I'd like you to start right now.

Right now?

You're studying for an exam?

And the bar exam at that?

I'm only going to study from now on.

I won't drink much either.

What a joke. A dog would stop pooping. You?

Modern development and prosperity of integration of legal theory.

Then are you going to break up with Seung Hee?

He told her he was going to Shillim-dong,

and she stopped talking to him right away.

She's just upset for now.

How long have you been dating her? And now you're going to study for the exam?

Is she crazy? Why wait for you?

Don't worry. My Seung Hee won't change her mind.

You haven't slept together, have you?

That crazy... how long have we been dating?

If you haven't slept with her, how is that called dating?

It's just being a little closer than other people.

While you're studying, she'll probably date sophomores.

These bastards...

It's not like there is no way.

What?

Sleep with her.

Until she goes to MT with you, she's not your girl.

MT?

Idiot, I'm talking about a motel. M, O, T, E, L!

Enough. The things in your head...

The moment you leave to study without making her your girl

it's over with her.

Sleep with her.

But how would he sleep with her?

Should he trip her?

Man, I should trip you.

I'm sorry... to say things like this so soon after we started dating.

Don't worry about me.

We're not in that kind of relationship for you to worry about me.

Hey, then do you kiss anyone?

Hey!

Well... you're right.

You don't have any obligation to wait for me...

To be honest, I'd really like you to wait for me.

I'm really confident.

I'll study a lot and pass the exam soon, okay?

I really like you.

Could we do something about it?

It's going great with her, so how will I

leave her behind and go to the study town?

You're right. This is time for you to get out there.

We're really in faithful relationship!

How can you... what a maniac!

Bastard, did you say, maniac?

Bastard... that's the best compliment for a man.

Thanks.

- By the way, Gwang Pal. - Yeah? Why?

Hello. My name is Park Gwang Pal majoring in public administration.

Your name is? Min Joo.

What is he doing now?

That bastard is... truly a god.

What's wrong with his face? Did something happen to him?

Yes, he has to start studying for an exam...

so he's about to break up with his girlfriend.

My, you're studying for an exam? Which exam?

Bar exam, civil service exam, or foreign service exam?

The bar exam.

Then... you'll become a prosecutor or a judge later, right?

Of course.

- Which school do you go to? - Goguryeo University.

Goguryeo University.

- Want a glass? - Yeah, pour it.

Theory of psychological science under normative control.

Hey... are you trying to trick me?

- No, just trying to trick girls. - What?

- I started too... studying for the bar. - Me too!

Why?

You were telling me how pathetic I was to

start studying in my freshmen year, so why?

I think it's a great way to seduce girls.

I was successful at meeting a girl at a club last night with this.

Me too. Of course Gwang Pal had to help me.

You're studying for the bar to seduce girls?

When I say I study for the bar, most people

treat me like a future judge or a prosecutor.

Hey, do you even want to study?

Let's go!

Welcome! Thank you!

Customers are coming in!

Dad!

- Nice to meet you. - Hello!

- They're my friends. - You guys came?

- Go inside! - Let's go!

Our son came!

How is it? Isn't it really good?

It's so good.

Isn't there beef?

You're annoying, shut up.

Hey, hold on.

- Did you finish eating? - Yes.

Mom, is the work okay?

My... what work would be okay?

We don't want to waste his severance pay, so I'll just have to work hard.

Thank you.

Mom... everything will be fine.

I don't know. Your dad's friend prepared everything.

We went to invest and ended up here all of a sudden.

His friend prepared for this for a long time,

so we just have to trust him and go with it.

Oh, you're going to the study town today?

I'm sorry I can't go with you.

It's okay. My friends are helping me.

Those kids?

What's wrong with you? Cham, cham, cham!

Are you an idiot? Cham, cham, cham!

- Your father gave you this? - Yeah.

I told him I'd study for the bar exam, and he bought me this right away.

Bastard, you only take this when you go to a club.

Wow, if I knew he'd be so nice to me, I should've

told him I'd study for the exam a long time ago.

What a rich bastard.

I envy you.

For the next five years, I'm not going to take the exam even if I am ready.

Why? Are you going to prepare to perfection before you take the exam?

No. The 'student-studying- for-the-bar'

is a great status for seducing pretty girls.

Once you pass, when do you have time to play around?

How does your brain work only in that direction?

It's patented.

Gwang Pal, what's that?

You don't need to know. It's just something.

- Why? What is it? - Don't touch it!

Hey! Are you goofing off?

- Carry them. - Which one?

- The heavy one... the heavy one... - This is so heavy.

- That bastard... I'll carry them. - Okay, take this.

- Hey! - Hurry up.

Aren't you going in?

What happened?

So you're going to wait for me?

Thank you, Seung Hee. Thank you, Seung Hee. Thank you!

What are they doing?

That bastard... he must've slept with her without telling us.

I'm not filling out prescriptions...

I started working part-time here just need to sell energy drinks...

but I can't sell much for some reason.

People are lined up for the other store though.

There are no people here... so it's nice and comfortable.

What are you doing?

Why?

There is no one around, it's nice.

Just take this.

What's this?

I collected them working at the pharmacy. It's Silica gel.

So why this?

You said your room doesn't have windows.

The humidity must be giving you a headache.

Thanks.

Right, your birthday is coming up next week. I'll get you a big present then.

Just tell me, what do you want?

It's okay. It's not your money anyway.

Still, what do you want?

Hey, hey... but isn't this too big for one person?

My Father built it to live after his retirement...

but when I told him I was going to study for the bar

he gave it to me to have a quiet place to study.

Hey, you got a lot of rooms here, right?

If you have a lot of empty rooms, let's rent it out to female students.

Should we?

He's smart in things like this.

Look at this.

What is it?

It's short ribs.

- Why don't you buy this? - What?

Seung Hee's birthday is coming up next week.

- So why don't you buy this? - This kid...

Take care of it with your allowance.

Why do you spend money on a girl who doesn't sleep with you?

I'm trying not to buy anything expensive, I don't get money from home these days.

Why?

My Father must be going through a tough time.

He said he'd put out the fire first.

So you went home today and stole short ribs?

Yeah, Mom said she only had short ribs, but no money.

So why don't you buy this?

Crazy bastard...

You're family is going under, and you're

doing this because you're crazy over a girl?

Gwang Pal, buy this!

Buy it so we can eat it!

Get lost.

You're the only one I know. Buy it!

I'll grill it, so buy it!

I have no money.

- Look through to see if he has money. - I don't have any!

Jong Dae, that bastard, he slept with her.

I'm sure.

He did, didn't he?

- Who is she? - What? Jong Dae's girlfriend.

Well...

Take this.

Thank you.

It's pretty. Thank you.

Can't you grill short ribs in your dorm? I have a lot of short ribs, really...

Do you want some?

This is enough.

How is it? Is it pretty?

Hold on.

- Hi, Mom. - Jong Dae, come to the restaurant now!

Why?

The police and the crackdown squad are making a scene at the restaurant.

What?

Subtitles by DramaFever

- Let's go. - How can you just go by yourselves?

When did I do that...

There are so many things to do in college,

so why study as soon as he started college?

- It doesn't matter, I think I'll pass. - Bastard...

To be honest, I like you.

You should speed up the progress.

You really feel the same way as I do, right?

Even Wan Ha didn't pass.

That's the power of love!

Studying must be hard.

No, you're making it tough.

So what did you give them?

It's better that way. She must hate you.

I really couldn't face you.

It's just embarrassing for a moment.

Korea!

What? Practice love?

Sorry.

Help me.
