NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS AND INCIDENTS IN THE DRAMA ARE NOT REAL

ALL THE STORIES IN THIS EPISODE ARE FICTITIOUS CREATIONS

I'll get going now.

Okay, see you later.

I must've been out of my mind.

Why did I close my eyes?

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

-I'll get going now. -Okay, see you later.

I must be going crazy. Gu Yeo-reum?

Be hallow, Jae-hoon. Let's be hallow, please.

Do I have to see the end to know it?

Let's be hallow.

EP.3 - BETWEEN FRIENDS

Hey, are you off to work?

Yes. You too?

Yes, I came out a bit early today. Yes.

The bus is here.

-I'll get going first. -Okay.

Hey, Kang Chae-ri!

Eat this. You bitch!

This is shit-water made with fish sauce extract!

Producer Gu!

You bitch!

Come here. Come here!

-Come here. -Let go!

Let go. Hey, let go!

Let go! You're the one who did the shitty edit--

Sang-woo, from today...

can I call you 'The Umbrella Man'?

This morning,

My mom told me to take an umbrella because it'll rain today.

This is exactly why we should listen to our moms.

I'm going to sue you.

I'm going to sue you!

Get back here!

Hey! You!

You want me to work on Kingdom of Love S2 with Kang Chae-ri?

Why? Is there a problem?

I really don't want to do it.

I will never work on Kingdom of Love. Never.

Come in.

Please take a seat.

I came for a medical certificate.

I think my nose might be broken.

Maybe, also shit poisoning on the face.

Injuries were inflicted, right?

I don't think this is right. I really can't do it.

I know I screwed up with Ramyeon Chef,

but how can you put me under someone who joined at the same time?

Working under who?

I just want you and Chae-ri to cooperate well.

Please. Please place me elsewhere.

If you just wrap this one up well,

I'll support you with whatever you want to do next time.

But, director...

I went to the CEO and begged for an hour because of that shit terror.

I also called entertainment reporters and begged them to not write articles.

Chae-ri needs someone to slow her down.

You know Chae-ri is a bit bizarre.

Maybe you can learn that through this.

And maintain the balance if Chae-ri goes too far.

Isn't there any way to avoid this?

There is no way to avoid it, so how about enjoying it?

I have a condition as well.

What is it?

My team. The Ramyeon team.

Let them all come with me.

I'll go if I can take all of the writers and the outsourced staff members.

Your favor. It's worrying about others' bread and butter?

Go ahead.

We are upping the ante here so gather your staff members as you wish.

It's a fractured nose. You have to wait till it heals itself.

No surgery is needed. We'll just bandage it.

This will hurt.

Does it hurt that much?

We don't prescribe painkillers for this.

I don't need painkillers.

My anger is filling me up with noradrenaline.

Right.

How long will it take to recover from this?

I'll write three weeks.

Don't blow or touch your nose for a month.

Okay.

Please take care.

Hey!

Doctor Park Jae-hoon?

-Yes? -How old are you?

-I'm 37. -Then, are you married?

I don't answer personal questions.

Right, excuse me for... ouch.

Please excuse me.

I'm Kang Chae-ri, the producer of Kingdom of Love.

You are quite good looking. And have a decent job.

We're preparing season two right now.

If you're not married, how about an audition?

-I don't want to expose myself on TV. -Don't want to be famous?

-It'll be good for clinic promotion. -I would like to politely refuse politely.

Okay.

I'm a big fan of Kingdom of Animals.

Did you get a nose job?

You heard from the director, right? Let's do well.

Why is it you of all people?

It's not like I wanted to join.

I guess someone higher than you would be a burden.

And someone lower than you would be vague.

Let's refrain from making unprofessional and rude remarks to each other.

We actually needed someone to stay on site 24/7.

You can do it.

Hey, you want me to work my ass off in the field?

What do you mean work your ass off?

Let's refrain from using unprofessional remarks.

We have a general meeting tomorrow. Get acquainted with the agenda.

Ramyeon Chef!

-Thank you for the hard work! -Thank you!

Producer Yeo-reum, I heard.

On the condition of taking the whole Ramyeon team,

you're joining Kingdom of Love.

I was at a loss when the show stopped abruptly.

Producer Gu, thank you.

Let's work hard together.

Producer Gu, please have this. It's perfectly cooked samgyeopsal.

But will you really be okay?

There's a lot of talk about you working under Chae-ri.

What can I do?

Sacrifice is the path I need to take.

You'll have to deal with all the fits she throws.

You're just a victim of sacrifice.

She'll get tit for tat.

I'll bring out all the crazy woman cells in my body.

Go ahead.

Producer Gu, have a bite.

It's perfectly cooked garlic.

Hey, what's up with you?

I'm fine. You eat.

After seeing you throwing yourself courageously at Kingdom of Love,

I have nothing but the utmost respect.

Please keep eating. I'll keep cooking.

Sang-woo, didn't you get a call from Kang Chae-ri?

I got one from Producer Kang not long ago.

-So what are you going to do? -I declined during the call.

But I should follow since you're going to Kingdom of Love.

Don't follow me. You shouldn't join something like this.

This will go down in the history of entertainment hell.

I know, but I'll try to survive it on my own.

What's going on?

Do you like me?

-As a woman? -Yes.

You're not really my type.

Then why do you follow me around?

You could say I'm like a chick.

They follow the first person they see after they hatch.

Please have my name written in that history too.

-Enjoy the food. -You too.

It feels good.

MOM

Mom.

Yeo-reum, your dad said he couldn't breathe all of a sudden,

so we're taking an ambulance.

Mom, I'm leaving right now.

Wait. Just hold on.

SUMMER

PLASTIC SURGEON PARK JAE-HOON

This will sting.

Yeo-reum, what's wrong? What happened?

Why did you come?

I have to go now.

-Where are you going? -Chuncheon.

My dad was taken to the hospital.

-I'll take you there. -No, I can go myself.

Come on, get in the car.

Yes, Mom.

I'm on my way now.

Dad is in surgery?

Mom, I'll be there soon. Hold on, okay?

Please don't cry. Everything will be okay.

Yes. Okay.

Mom!

Yeo-reum!

How is Dad?

He should be out any minute now.

As long as his surgery goes well, he should be able to recover soon.

Oh my. You were scared, right?

Of course, I was.

But it was quite fortunate.

I was going to go to public path,

but stayed home because I felt uneasy about something.

What would've happened if your dad stayed at home by himself?

It would've been a disaster.

It's okay, Mom. It's okay.

-Honey! -Dad!

Honey. Yeo-reum.

The angiography results showed some areas with severe stenosis.

We have inserted one stent

and the surgery was a success.

After monitoring in the recovery room, we'll send him to the ward.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's fine now.

Don't worry.

I'll see you at the ward.

Okay, honey.

How are you feeling, Dad?

It's no big deal. Why did you scare her?

What do you mean, Dad? Why wouldn't it a big deal?

How can I not call her when you suddenly stopped breathing?

She has to work tomorrow. Why did you make her come all this way?

Even so, it's still good to see my daughter.

I'm sorry, Dad.

For not coming often saying I'm busy when it's not that far.

I was going to cook the pumpkin pancakes that my daughter likes.

Pumpkin pancakes are not important now, Dad!

Please take care of your health.

You're not even taking the supplements I sent, are you?

If I don't bring a cup of water to his hands, he would never take them.

It'd be so good if he would take them himself.

It's not just supplements.

I also bought cheonggukjang, pills, and whatever is good for the body.

He never takes them.

Okay.

I'll make sure to take them from now on.

Yeo-reum, by the way,

who is that young man waiting for you outside?

He's the man she used to date. Kim In-woo.

How did you know, Mom?

-You showed me a photo before. -You still remember that?

How can I forget a man that my daughter showed me?

He wasted all your time,

only to back off at a prime age for marriage.

Why are you seeing him again?

It's not like that.

He came all the way here when you guys aren't dating?

No, I'm just saying it's not what you think.

Either way, I am thankful for him.

Bringing you all the way here because you were scared.

How's your father?

They'll monitor his progress for a couple of days.

He'll be discharged if he's okay.

Thanks for today.

You can go back first.

How about you?

I'm stay a bit longer and take the first ride back.

I'll wait. Let's go back together.

If you're uncomfortable with me here,

I'll go wait in the car.

Yeo-reum.

Your dad said you should go home.

Come back on your day off.

You have to work tomorrow.

I'll be fine staying here a while longer.

Your dad has to rest.

Even if you stay, you'd only be sitting.

I'm tired too, so I'll be resting next to your dad.

You're my daughter's ex, right?

Hello, ma'am.

Nice to meet you. My name is Kim In-woo.

Thank you for today.

Please take Yeo-reum back to Seoul safely.

On that day,

I went back to you.

I went back to the service area after exiting at the nearest intersection.

I couldn't find you anywhere.

If you're not going to stay in Korea, go back by yourself.

Yeo-reum!

Gu Yeo-reum!

Gu Yeo-reum!

Yeo-reum!

I'm sorry.

For leaving like that back then.

We were both overly emotional.

It wasn't anyone's fault, it was just how it was back then.

I hated the highway.

There was nowhere to make a U-turn and it took so long to go back.

Ever since then...

I've regretted it.

For taking so long to come back...

I'm sorry.

She's not even answering.

Did something happen?

Thank you for today.

Please take care.

Yeo-reum.

I didn't have dinner, so I'm hungry.

Can I get something to eat?

Those flowers have grown a lot.

They're growing really well even though I don't water them much.

Everything is like that around you.

They become lively and special.

I watched all of your shows.

I watched all of Ramyeon Chef.

I also enjoyed the pilot show in the beginning of the year.

Why did you watch them?

I broke up with you to make them.

I liked your shows because they were warm.

Yeo-reum.

Yes?

For me, I haven't...

I still haven't moved on.

Wow. She's bringing a man home at 1 a.m.?

Gu Yeo-reum is really open-minded.

Oh my. I think I have indigestion. What do I do?

What do I do?

I have indigestion at dawn. What do I do?

That's right. I must exercise at dawn. Arm exercises.

Should I work on biceps? Or shoulders? Or triceps?

No strength in my arms.

What's that sound?

Jae-hoon lives upstairs.

Park... Park Jae-hoon. He lives upstairs?

Yes.

Cleaning should be done at dawn.

Okay, it's almost done. Should I finish off tomorrow?

A ramyeon pot is better when it's a little crushed.

Isn't that right?

At dawn,

hip hop is the music.

Okay, music, start.

The ramyeon is going to be mushy. Eat up.

Is he usually this loud?

No, he's not usually like that.

Maybe he's listening loudly because he thinks I'm not home?

Your old schoolmate lives upstairs so you won't be bored.

I guess it's not as boring as living alone.

Let's go somewhere nice to eat next time.

Thanks for today. Go back safely.

That bastard.

What are you doing?

-Are you doing it on purpose? -Me?

What?

You did it on purpose knowing Kim In-woo was with me, right?

He was here? I had no clue.

Wow. He was here.

Why weren't you answering my calls?

I went back home.

-Chuncheon? -Dad...

had an angina attack and ended up getting a coronary stent.

How is he now?

The surgery was a success.

They'll check the progress for a couple of days.

I was working when you called me. I'm so sorry.

I'm leaving.

Keep quiet!

Ji-hye!

How's the arrangement?

It's great. I think my dad will like it too.

The whole art industry is paying attention to this exhibition.

I feel so pressured with all the interest from the general public.

Thank you for the hard work.

I should let young people do their thing.

I might sound silly but I'm curious.

What do you think of my son?

We are slowly getting to know each other.

I hope it'll work out between you two.

I really like you.

Ma'am...

I didn't know your husband passed away.

Oh, you didn't know. It's been three years.

My dad was surprised too when I told him.

It was such a big shock back then, so I couldn't accept his death.

So I didn't really tell anyone.

Jae-hoon also used to be a boy who used to be exemplary.

But he changed a lot after his father passed away.

What are you doing?

It's my day off so I'm enjoying my time at home.

Have a good day.

What is this?

Is he saying he's free today?

Or is he telling me to piss off because he doesn't want to text?

-Mr. Kim Jun-ho. -Yes.

Please come in.

-Hello. -Hello.

We'll begin recording.

Three, two, one!

Hello, my name is Kim Jun-ho.

A pleasure to meet you.

So you're the CEO of a startup company?

-A dating app? -That's right.

Are you doing this to promote your app?

Can't I do that?

Finding love and promoting my business.

It's a great opportunity.

I like your honesty.

Could you please tell us what your own charm is?

I'm a bit... big.

Actually, very big.

Your height is average and it doesn't seem like you are bulked up.

So, what's big?

My ambition and vision for the future are both big.

My confidence is big too.

You know our show is steamy, right?

Of course, I know it well.

I understand very well about your big ambition and future.

Are you big?

Can you show us?

-Do I really have to show? -Yes.

You're an ice hockey player?

Yes, I started in elementary school.

Did you date a lot?

About three women.

That's less than what I thought.

You seem popular.

If I date someone, I see them for a long time.

And what was the longest you've dated?

I dated for ten years with my first love.

Ten years?

That's amazing.

Your name is Hwang Jang-gun?

The Ginko Bed?

It was quite embarrassing when I was young.

But actually, everyone remembered me because of my unique name.

So, yes. I like it now.

Can you impersonate Hwang Jang-gun?

I actually prepared it.

"There's a foolish man who, for a thousand years,

loved a woman every day."

-Who'll clean it? -I'll clean it.

Hey.

It's Gabi. Hello!

I do waacking as well.

Personality-wise, a friendly person?

-You care about looks? -Very much so.

I think maybe I consider too many things.

People running barbershops earn as much.

Park Su-hyeon, a beauty vlogger.

-Late night snacks like tteokbokki-- -Sorry, I can't.

A man who can lean on me.

I applied because my director said I was good looking.

I like a leading person.

Someone like Prince Charming.

Namaste.

Lift slowly from here.

Hello.

My name is Park Ji-wan.

You're a famous webtoon author?

So would there be any special motivation for applying to be in our show?

Actually, I...

never dated anyone.

You know there's always that person.

Wherever they go, it's like they don't exist.

That's me.

I applied because I wanted to be a main character at least once in my life.

I think you're a shy type.

Can you actively show your appeal on the show?

That's why I prepared a little something for the show.

-Can I show you guys? -Please show us!

In a beautiful forest

A small and pretty acorn

Can't be seen as it's hidden behind leaves

CANDIDATES THROUGH THE FIRST ROUND

UNSUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES

The fat girl, never.

I'm content with her.

Want to screw up the show?

It's an eyesore to see someone like her liking someone on the show.

Rather than celeb-wannabes,

the show should have people looking for true love.

It's our job to bluntly show viewers what they want to see.

Isn't a blunt reality what viewers want to see?

Viewers want to see love stories that are just like friends'.

Kingdom of Love is popular

because it shows the raw emotions between male and female as is.

Don't just pick the ones that look like Barbie dolls, okay?

Let's have some diversity. Diversity.

She'll only get hurt.

It will depend on us.

It's my show. It's a show I planned.

Because you're the planner, I respect your opinion.

But let's have at least one sincere couple out of them all.

Fine.

Let's put her on.

But I'll check the rating every time that fat girl is onscreen.

You'll be responsible if per-minute-ratings drop.

Okay. I'll take the responsibility.

We need to find compatible men and women. So find someone suitable for the fat girl.

Is there someone?

Kang Chae-ri... Producer.

Let's politely call her by her name, Park Ji-wan,

Sorry.

Let's find a male candidate who'd go well with plus-sized Park Ji-wan.

Isn't there anyone scrawny? Scrawny.

You know what I mean?

UNREAD MESSAGES

MOM DROP BY AT HOME

-Chew well before swallowing, honey. -It tastes so good.

Hello?

Mom. How is Dad?

He's recovering well. We even took a stroll in front of the hospital today.

Your father's condition is top notch. Don't you worry.

I'm really glad to hear it.

Yeo-reum! The dinner is delicious!

Thank you!

Dinner? What dinner?

Didn't you send us dinner?

Bulgogi, abalone and salad.

People from the ward, nurses and doctors

are all enjoying it with us.

That wasn't me?

Then who ordered them?

Maybe In-woo sent them?

My daughter! All the dishes are my style!

They're so delicious!

Your father is overreacting, asking how the dishes can be so delicious.

Anyway, thank him for the food.

Okay, I will. Okay.

KAKAO TALK

Now I think about it, I don't even know his number.

When are you coming back home?

I'm just getting off work.

Hey, do you have potatoes at your place?

No. Why do you need them?

Please buy two potatoes on the way back.

Why does he want potatoes all of a sudden?

Oh God.

What are you doing all naked?

Because it stings so much.

I was tanning over there before.

Good job.

Where are you going?

Why have you become so cold? Help me put potatoes on my back.

No. I'll never do it.

That's cold. How can you leave looking at a back like this?

How can you leave? Come in.

Come in!

-Gosh, stop making weird sounds. -When did I?

Now! Right now! Like this!

It's because it hurts.

Right here.

It feels a lot better with potatoes on it.

Here.

I'm done putting them on, so don't move.

Gu Yeo-reum,

your dad's discharged tomorrow?

-How did you know? -I spoke to your mom this morning.

I also spoke to his doctor as well. Your mom put him on.

-What did he say? -Don't worry.

His prognosis is good.

Also, take the envelope on the table to your mom.

What is this?

Use it for the hospital bill.

What's up with you, Park Jae-hoon? It's a bit touching.

A potato fell off my back.

Yes, Jae-hoon!

-Here. -Where?

Put it on properly.

Does it feel better?

Yes, it feels better.

I can live now.

Thank you for saving me.

Kim In-woo hugged you in the middle of eating ramyeon?

Wow. Unbelievable!

Hey. Try to describe it in more detail.

Did he hug you lightly?

Or was he going at you aggressively yet passionately?

If I have to describe it,

it was

more of a passionate hug.

And then? What happened after hugging?

For now...

that was all.

Gosh.

So what are you going to do?

I don't know.

It was just all so sudden.

And it was nice to see him.

That familiar feeling was good too.

It's been so long since someone looked at me like that.

I was a bit nervous.

Looking at you? Like how?

With romantic eyes!

Romantic eyes! How was it?

-Come on! -Hey, knock it off!

My Gosh!

Hold on. You said this before.

You've given all your love to Kim In-woo,

and you've received all the love you can, that's why you can't date other men.

Yes, I did say that.

That person has come back.

-It was good to sweat it out. -Exactly.

-Are you off to work? -No, today's my day off.

-Right. -I'm off!

-See you. -Bye.

Honey, it's me.

-Grab some rice and sit. -Okay.

What is this? You said there was something good.

-Where's the good stuff? -Here. Spinach.

You've finally gone mad. How is spinach delicious?

Just try it.

I got fooled again.

It's good, right? It's the favor of Hye-jin's hands.

Hey, spinach tastes like spinach.

The scent of summer is dancing in the mouth.

Eat before it gets mushy.

I heard Kim In-woo and Gu Yeo-reum are dating again.

They're dating again?

-Did Hye-jin say that? -No.

I don't know. What? What is it?

-Are they dating again? -What?

Are they dating again or not?

Now I think about it,

I think they've met again, not dating again.

As in 'long time, no see'.

Hey. Apparently, that bastard turned up to Yeo-reum's house looking all sleek.

What's the big deal.

It's good for her.

Yes, good for her.

Yeo-reum used to really like him, right?

-I'll get going. -Okay.

See you later.

-Hello. -I'm going now.

-Okay. See you later. -Okay.

Honey, I interrogated him by luring him with spinach like you said.

-So you did, and? -Completely...

wrong. What did I say?

What? We never know.

He wasn't interested at all.

He was okay when you mentioned Kim In-woo?

Then what? Did you expect Jae-hoon to flip the table or something?

No, maybe not that big of a reaction.

Maybe a flinch? Or looked to be in a bad mood?

He had absolutely zero interest. I'm quick to pick these things out.

Surely, it's not like that.

Honey.

Maybe you're imagining things.

But Jae-hoon and Yeo-reum are not male and female.

It's really gross. They're more of human and human.

No, it's not like that. I actually gave it a thought.

We need to help them get together.

Their genre is 'bromance'.

So why are you the only one trying to write a passionate romance?

Forget it! There's no point in talking to you!

I have a really good hunch.

Gu Yeo-reum and Park Jae-hoon.

-It's really creepy. No way. Really. -You're wrong!

Park Jae-hoon and I have a better chance of getting together.

You're pretty but clueless.

Hey, be quiet!

Gu Yeo-reum and Park Jae-hoon.

Go, go, go.

Stop.

What are you doing?

My life is lonely, so I'm trying adopt a teddy bear.

I got it! I got it! I got it!

You try it. You're good at this. Hurry!

No, I don't want to.

Please pick one out for me.

Why are you tryinhg to be cute?

Gu Yeo-reum. You're almost 40 now.

Don't go around liking teddy bears anymore. It's cringey.

-Hey! Where are you going? -Internet café.

So petty.

Never mind. Forget it.

I'll just pick one on my own!

I'll get one this time. I got it!

-Hello? -Yeo-reum, it's me.

Would you have dinner with me today?

I can't believe we're having dinner together.

One week ago, I was in New York by myself.

I'll pay for dinner today.

You helped me out last time and also for the delivery you sent.

-Delivery? -Dinner delivery.

Wasn't it you?

No. I don't think it was me.

How was life in New York?

It was good.

I worked and also travelled around.

Were you okay after dumping me?

It was hard. Then, I was okay.

I beat them.

What now?

Are you coming to the pre-opening party for my dad's exhibition?

Of course. See you then.

He's being stern again.

Is he the type who's too lazy to text?

Why is--?

-In-woo. -Yes?

Why did you come back?

You should've lived well elsewhere. Why did you come back to me?

What can we do after all this time?

Yeo-reum!

Yes?

Please marry me.

I came back to ask you to marry me.

-Are you just getting in? -Yes.

Did you go somewhere?

Yes, I had dinner with Kim In-woo.

Right.

-Hey, Yeo-reum. -Yes?

Are you guys dating again?

-Jae-hoon. -Yes.

Should I...

marry Kim In-woo?

Kim In-woo proposed to Yeo-reum.

-What about you? -What about me?

I know you like Yeo-reum.

If Yeo-reum and I had anything, it should've happened earlier.

Why do you always reply to my texts very dully?

After meeting a few times, am I still not your type?

You're very keen.

A delivery for Producer Gu Yeo-reum.

After all this, wouldn't it be weirder if I ask you to date me?

I don't believe in friends between a man and a woman.

So make up your mind.

Don't marry Kim In-woo.

I have to try and date you.
