[Episode 29]

Thumbs Up.

How could I leave without you?

So, don't go... anywhere.

We're already here.

I know.

Why did you get a place so nearby?

I don't get much out of walking you home then.

All right, all right.

Next time, I'll move further away.

Go on in.

You leave first.

I'll go in once I see you leave.

No, you go in first.

Men are supposed to watch until the end in instances like this.

There you go saying things like that again in the 21st century.

You really should go first.

I want to see you leave.

Hey, now! Get inside.

We'll be up all night doing this.

That's what I'm saying...

Fine. Then go back safely.

Bye then.

Okay. Bye.

What was that? Why?

How could you be more old-fashioned than me?

Me? In what way?

You know, that thing...

There's a trendy phrase women say when men take them home.

What phrase?

What are you talking about?

Okay, so it's like...

I heard it's popular all over the country.

- I'm sure of it. - Huh?

Forget it, forget it. Go home. Bye.

Okay. Bye then.

How could you not even know to invite me in for ramen?

Are you hungry? Do you want ramen?

No, it's not because I'm actually hungry.

Then what!

Never mind. Forget it.

You really must have done nothing but study.

You don't know the deep meaning of ramen.

You're not going to eat ramen?

- I am a little hungry. - Did I say I wouldn't?

- You're eating? - I am. Let's go.

Gosh. I might as well eat ramen.

But, you have to make the ramen. Got it?

[The Best Hit]

Ramen, ramen.

- Stop, stop. - Hey!

What are you doing?

The noodles have to be chewy to be good.

What do you mean? They need to be well-cooked.

You really don't know how to cook good ramen.

I may not have told you before, but I have a doctorate in ramen.

No. Hey!

What are you doing? Why would you put an egg in there?

You'll change the taste of the soup.

Ramen is only complete with an egg.

What are you saying?

Wow, how can we not agree on anything?

That's why we're drawn to each other.

What?

They say you're attracted to opposites.

You're attracted to me, right? Like a magnet.

I cannot argue with you and win.

- Thumbs up! - Thumbs up!

It's all ready.

How is it? It's not bad for ramen with eggs, right?

Yeah.

Not bad.

You'll keep thinking about it.

Where were you planning to go, anyway?

I don't know, just anywhere.

I felt like people who were living well were having a hard time because of me.

It was enough that I made one mistake.

I don't want to hurt people again.

Once I leave...

everyone will live happily ever after.

Isn't that what will happen?

What? No way.

Do you have a place to go?

I do.

Where?

I have a place.

So, you don't.

I told you I do.

Where are you going to sleep tonight?

There are lots of places I found.

There are saunas and internet cafes.

Just stay at my place.

Huh?

It's not for your sake, but for mine.

I'll feel nervous if I don't see you.

Who knows where you'll disappear to this time?

I suppose this is just how my life is.

Nothing is ever easy for me.

Bro, I'm going to wash up first.

It's so hot. Why is it so darn hot?

Perhaps, it's because it's summer.

Oh, I thought it was the high temperature.

Don't use too many towels.

Okay.

Oh...

What is this?

I'm sorry I wasn't the person you thought I was.

Still, thank you for everything.

Time never flows backwards.

I hope our time together is not one of regret.

Thumbs Up, are you sleeping?

No.

What about you?

I'm talking because I'm awake, obviously.

Ah, I guess you're right.

What is it? You can't sleep?

I'm tired, but I can't sleep.

Me too.

By the way, about you...

why do you think you went missing 20 years ago?

I wonder about that too. I don't really know.

It was someone I knew and someone in my vicinity.

When I think that there was a person who wanted me gone that much...

I don't feel very good about it.

Whether it was Young Jae or whoever.

It isn't your fault.

What?

Even if that was what happened, it isn't your fault.

It's the fault of the person who had bad intentions.

Is it the fault of the victim of the bad act?

So... don't feel guilty for some strange reason.

Guilty?

I think I should look into it tomorrow.

You sure have no fear though.

What now?

Well, aren't you trusting me too much?

I am a man too.

I am very healthy.

Just sleep quietly, Thumbs Up.

Okay. You too.

Here, your song is ready.

Listen. I think it sounds good.

The song is ready already?

Wow, CEO Lee. You really are the best.

What kind of song is it?

Hip hop is the trend these days.

Of course, I trust in your judgment.

- Drill, you know... - Yes, CEO Lee.

There are two things in the world that I hate the most.

- The first is men. - What?

The second is flattery.

Are you a man that likes to flatter people?

No! Not at all. I'm no suck-up!

Look at this again.

Hey, let's stop talking and listen.

Oh, this...

It's similar to the song that I wrote.

Gosh...

It's not like the cell phone can walk.

Why is it always disappearing on me?

What's this?

This isn't too bad.

Let me see here.

What do you think? How is it?

It's awesome!

I told you to stop with the flattery.

I'm not trying to suck up. I'm being honest.

I really like the song. I'm being honest.

Who wrote this song, by the way?

Why? Do you not like it?

No, it's not that. I like the song.

Thumbs Up wrote it, right?

Thumbs Up?

I asked him to do it.

Then, our choreography too?

Yes, that too. I asked him to do it.

Thumbs Up... Thumbs Up?

He has this kind of skill?

Wow. That's amazing.

How is the MJ issue coming along?

We are talking to some journalists that we are friendly with.

The repercussions could be larger than we imagined.

What are you saying?

Aren't we doing this to create large repercussions?

Still, he has been our headlining singer for Star Punch.

If things go wrong and this backfires...

we will suffer damages, as well.

That is why the plan is important.

The plan?

You are all so frustrating.

Get one of our composers to make a declaration to clear his conscience.

He can say he was forced into it by MJ and wants tell the truth.

It was all a fraud from the beginning.

None of the songs MJ claimed to write were written by him.

It was an abuse of power by MJ.

Can't we just go in this direction?

What if MJ decides he wants to re-sign with us later on?

Tell him to forget it.

Whether it's humans or animals, it's for them to have a change of heart.

Tell the journalists to publish the story on Friday.

Then it'll be the big story all weekend.

Will MJ just take it without making a move?

What if he claims that you told him to do it?

If he wants to reveal the truth and fight dirty

he will be at a disadvantage.

We should expect to have to get dirty too.

Yes, Reporter Shin.

It's been a long time. Yes.

Yes, I'll help you hold your head up high.

So, you better make time this weekend.

I'll going to make a booking.

Also, you heard about MJ, right?

Oh, we'll talk details in person.

Yes, okay.

What are you doing? Get going.

Young Jae.

It's me.

You scared me. What are you doing here?

I had something I wanted to ask you.

Huh?

What is it?

Young Jae.

I don't have much time to live.

What?

What kind of joke is this?

I'm saying I have nothing to fear.

Stop saying this nonsense and get out.

If you tell me the truth, nothing will happen.

What? What if I don't?

Are you saying something will happen?

This is a threat. You know that, don't you?

About my disappearance, do you know anything?

I don't know. I don't know anything!

You took my notebook after I went missing.

Doesn't it make sense that you're the most suspicious one?

So, what?

Are you suggesting I did something to you?

In 1994, why did I go missing?

I think you know something.

I have no excuse for stealing your notebook.

But, do you really think I would do something like that to you for that?

I'm a victim too.

After that and J2 broke up...

didn't you take all the money and leave on your own?

Once you were gone...

do you know how much I suffered on my own?

I performed on night club stages and in the countryside.

I finally managed to meet Kathy and grow my business now.

Honestly, did you even treat me like a human being?

Why would you say a thing like that?

It's true, isn't it?

It's not like that, okay?

I'm just not good at expressing myself.

You know my personality.

Anyway, I'm sorry if you felt that way.

There's no need to cry about it.

Who says I'm crying?

The day you went missing, I was at that lake too.

What?

I don't know anything.

I didn't see the person's face, but there was someone there besides you.

I thought it was Kwang Jae all this time.

There was another person?

There were definitely two people.

Why would I bother lying to you now?

Where did that phone number go?

The writing is so little, too. My goodness.

This picture...

I'll be down in the office.

Yeah, okay.

What picture is that?

Oh, it was inside this book.

Ah, it's Mal Sook's mom.

Now that I think about it, her accident was around this time.

Yes, it was.

Aren't you going to visit?

It's been a while since you've gone.

She left before her father.

What is so lovable about her that I would visit often?

You always say the opposite of what you mean.

Well, she sure was very beautiful.

Of course she was.

She was my daughter, after all.

How are things going for you?

What about me?

You are such a fool. I mean with Bo Hee.

Well, you know.

Just know that things are going well.

He is like a snail.

I guess it took him 20 years to finally start moving.

So, I wasn't alone when I went missing.

That means there is a witness.

I always turn on Hyun Jae's songs when I operate.

My junior co-workers made fun of me telling me that they were old songs.

After that, I started turning on classical music.

Today, I had to operate on an eight year old's lymphoma.

Thanks to Hyun Jae, I successfully completed the operation.

Now, I am about to get some sleep.

What? This girl is a doctor?

You grew up well.

I saw the shopping mall Yoo Hyun Jae and wanted to contact you.

Do you think we can meet?

Yeah. It's me.

Where did you suddenly go?

You were telling me to leave and now you're worried?

I meant you should leave once you had a place to go.

Don't you worry. I am doing very well.

Are you practicing hard?

That's actually why I called.

I got the song you wrote.

Hey, you practically wrote the song.

No. Other people may not know.

I know what I wrote.

Without you, it wouldn't be worth listening to.

My ears can tell that much.

It wasn't that bad.

I only tweaked it here and there.

Thanks for the choreography too.

Do you like it?

To tell you the truth, a lot.

That's a relief then.

I was a little worried.

Well, as you know, I am still an active artist.

But, by your standards, I'm from 20 years ago.

You seem better than the people who are working now.

Right?

All you have to know is that the work I do is the very best.

Well, hip hop is booming now.

I think it would be great if we put in a vocal feature in there somewhere.

Don't try to convince the audience with things like that.

Don't try to convince them. Just overwhelm them.

It would be nice if I could be there to guide you.

Let's just talk on the phone like this, so I can give you pointers.

We can do that, right?

Of course, we can always talk.

Oh yeah. Also...

thank you for your help.

No need to thank me.

Gosh, it's busy again?

Who has he been talking to all day?

- Woo Seung, you must have a boyfriend. - Pardon me?

Don't people say things like that to their boyfriends?

Oh, it's not like that.

Everyone, do you remember the Kaola?

Kaola, the twin typhoons that landed on the Korean peninsula in 1993.

They say that a similar typhoon is approaching our country now.

However, meteorologists are saying...

Typhoons are scary, but we do need some rain.

The summer drought has been too long.

What? Oh, yes.

Sorry, but could you turn the radio back on?

Sure. Why not?

Danas has many similarities to the Kaola, the typhoon from 1993.

The path of its progression is one.

There is a high probability that two typhoons may merge into a twin typhoon.

The name Danas means experience in the Filipino language.

The typhoon Kaola, which means time, is currently headed north.

They say the people of Hawaii believe when the winds of Kaola blow

memories forgotten often come back to you.

What is this mess?

Everyone out there, what do you want back from your past?

Are you busy?

No, no. Come on in.

I feel like I'm taking up your time when you're busy.

I am busy. I have to be to make money.

What brings you by?

I thought you wanted to take a break.

I have a favor to ask of you, CEO Lee.

A favor? What is it?

I know it's something you won't like.

What?

You know how I released Master's songs as if they were mine?

I just don't feel right about not telling people.

If you would allow it, I want to reveal it to everyone.

Just let it all out.

Just let it all out?

Right.

But, if this gets out...

the investments you worked hard to get could be at risk.

It would make things difficult.

Wouldn't it?

You... want to do this?

I want to get it off my back as soon as I can.

But, if this makes things hard for you, then I understand.

For now... should I just hold on?

Then let's do it.

Okay.

I will hold on.

No.

Let's announce it.

It will probably be hectic for a little while.

I am prepared for that.

Are you... Da Bong Da Bong?

Oh my.

Yes.

You are the owner of the internet fan cafe, right?

- Pink Star? - Yes.

You were surprised that I asked to meet, right?

No, that's not it.

You look a lot like him.

You look so much like Hyun Jae.

Back then, I went to his concerts and TV broadcasts.

There wasn't anyplace I didn't follow him.

I saw him in real life many times.

I think I would believe it if you said you were him.

What if I said I really was him?

What?

Then how much of what I say would you believe?

Uh, I...

I wanted to ask you something.

But, the only doctor I know here is you, Pink Star.

It is a disease that cannot be fixed by current medical knowledge.

I don't want to be remembered in my last moments as a sick person.

That isn't Yoo Hyun Jae's style.

I want to remain a star to you all until the very end.

A bright star until the end.

There is nothing more they can do.

It was my body, but I didn't know.

Yes, it is an incurable illness.

It can be fatal, as well.

I can see why one would be in despair, especially in the 90's.

But, a drug was developed in early 2000 to treat this illness.

Now, people just fear the name of the illness.

I suppose it's just like a disease that seniors get.

The medicine works very well.

If you receive the treatment, most people recover completely.

[Twin typhoon similar to '93's Kaola Heading North]

Oh, where are you headed so late?

I have a gathering to get to.

You really shouldn't drink so much. It's hot out.

I'll take care of that.

I'll be going then.

Is he lonely or something?

Where is this?

Why am I here?

I have to go there.

It's so hot... so hot.

I don't see President Soondae.

He was acting strange last time.

Does he have Alzheimer's or something?

No way. He's perfectly fine.

You can be fine one moment.

It can come and go. That's what I heard.

Where am I?

Hey, hey. Don't worry.

He's going be healthy and live longer than both of us.

He is so strong. What do you mean Alzheimer's?

I'm just worried.

Now that I look at it, this reminds me of the past.

What brings you here?

I heard you moved out of the rooftop.

Word sure gets around fast.

You think I wouldn't know anyway?

You have something you're worried about. What is it?

Hey, I told you I've been getting someone beeping me from the past.

I thought about it.

I think I'm still connected to that world.

I feel like that world is looking for me.

I thought about it.

If I don't go back there...

the past that we know will change.

Then will it become a world without Yoo Hyun Jae?

Then everything here will change.

Because of me, everything here will change.

I don't really know.

If it's how you say and something will change...

just thinking about it is scary.

You and Bo Hee started dating in 1994.

You came here before you even got close to starting to date her.

Then... what will happen to Ji Hoon?

Don't you have to be in the past in order for Ji Hoon to exist?

Thumbs Up! Why aren't you coming?

You're eating dinner here, right?
