Original subtitles

Have you seen this before?

Where...

did you get it?

My boyfriend...

had it when he died.

I mentioned him before.

What was...

his name?

Eun Ho.

His name was Jang Eun Ho.

Eun Ho. Eun Ho!

Eun Ho.

Sang Sik.

- No, Eun Ho. - Sang Sik.

Sang Sik, get out of there.

Sang Sik.

Don't let go!

Eun Ho!

Eun Ho!

Eun Ho!

What's wrong?

Actually...

Sang Sik.

Min Joo.

Sang Sik,

are you feeling sick?

No, I'm okay.

What are you doing here, Min Joo?

Well...

I guess you two were talking about something important.

No...

I had something to ask him.

What brings you here?

It's Sang Hee's wedding anniversary today.

I couldn't get in touch with Cheon Soo,

so I prepared a small party for her.

Jun Woo.

You go on ahead. We'll be there soon.

I'll see you in a bit.

This is...

something he held on tightly...

in his hand as he passed.

His dream was to become a director.

There was a fire...

during a shoot.

He was the only one that died.

Why did it have to...

happen to him?

Why did it have to happen to me?

I was...

so resentful.

I saw it for the first time then,

so I was always curious.

Where did he get this from?

Who gave it to him?

Who is it from?

My wife...

made it for me.

It's...

very similar.

Yes.

- I better go. - Wait.

Have...

a drink before you go.

(Second to Last Love)

(Episode 10)

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Congratulations on your 18th anniversary.

Forget it. My husband isn't even here.

You guys are not my husband.

Come on.

He'll be home soon.

He has no idea what today is.

Of course I do.

- Hey. - Dad.

Uncle Cheon Soo.

It's our wedding anniversary.

If you knew, you should have came home earlier.

Why did you come home so late if you knew?

You're empty handed.

I hate formalities.

I thought it would be best to do it when I'm more sincere.

No way. You should do a love shot...

with your husband today.

Yes. Why don't these two...

do it with them?

Yes. You guys are so much better than us.

Better looking, too.

All right.

Let's toast.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

For what?

I hope only happiness will come your way.

Thank you.

Sang Sik.

You're so random.

Come on, Jun Woo.

Love shot.

Love shot.

Love shot.

Us too?

- Here. - Okay.

Should we do it, too?

I said, I don't like formalities.

I want it to be sincere.

- Sang Hee. - I'm sorry.

- Sang Hee. - Sang Hee.

Married life is as chaotic as dating.

Go after her.

Okay.

Will she be okay?

Cheon Soo will take care of it. Help yourselves.

Here.

I'm glad.

I'm really glad...

that Jun Woo...

is beside her now.

What's with you these days?

Don't you see me any more? Are you losing your sight?

Keep it down. They can hear us.

How can a husband treat his wife like this?

I'm so embarrassed. It's our anniversary.

What's the big deal about an anniversary?

We lived peacefully together, and that's what's important.

Peaceful?

I'm burning up inside.

I ask myself why my life turned out like this.

Then what about my life?

Who will acknowledge me?

I work day and night to earn money, but no one acknowledges me.

Do you know what the kids call me?

They ask you if you're Cheon Soo because you're a math teacher,

and that it's better than being called jobless.

They've always made fun of your name.

Why are you even bothered by it?

Just forget it.

It's impossible to talk with you.

- What? What? - My goodness.

Talk?

My goodness.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Okay, leave it there.

Sang Hee didn't get to eat anything.

What's wrong with Cheon Soo? Sang Hee's talking to Min Joo.

Something's up.

It looks like it, doesn't it?

What are you thinking about?

Well...

It's nothing.

What was...

Min Joo asking you about earlier?

Jun Woo.

If...

I did something bad to someone you love,

would you be able to forgive me?

What...

What are you talking about?

Who knows? It might happen.

What if it happens in the future?

That would never happen.

Even if it does,

I would always understand you and be on your side.

I'm sure you would have your reasons.

All right.

Sang Hee.

You should still...

be with your husband on a day like today.

I don't want to see him.

Thank you.

Still,

you're lucky to have your family.

You look happy.

I'm so jealous of you.

Really?

You have a wonderful single life, and you even achieved your dream.

Someone told me this.

Being single is like living in paradise that's boring,

while marriage is like a fun nightmare.

That's interesting.

I'm in a boring paradise,

and you're in a fun nightmare.

We can't say which is better.

All we can do is choose.

Even if I were to make a decision again,

I'd prefer to be in a fun nightmare.

I guess I was meant to get married.

Then it's all good.

I used to have a dream, too.

I wanted to play the piano until I dropped.

That's a great dream.

My husband fell in love with me when he saw me playing the piano.

I never knew I'd age as an ordinary housewife like this.

I thought I would...

get married and live an ordinary life, too.

I didn't know I'd grow old by myself.

Really?

- Sang Sik. - Sit down.

You should have been nicer.

I can't see my wife even if I want to.

I'm sorry.

As I get older,

life becomes harder and lonelier.

No one cares about how I feel.

I have no idea...

what I've done for the last 40 years.

I feel empty.

Empty...

Yes.

We're empty.

I'm not saying I'll cheat on her.

I just want to have deep conversations with someone.

I don't even have friends any more.

And it's not like I can talk to my family about this.

There's no one I can share my thoughts with.

It feels like there's a hole right here.

Yes.

That's what it's like to be our age.

We're so busy,

but it feels empty.

We're being beat around in every corner,

and there's no room to breathe.

How did you survive all these years...

after your wife passed?

It'd be a lie to say it was easy.

It was unbearable.

But as I watched Ye Ji grow up,

I told myself to live properly.

I kept myself on my toes.

I told myself over and over again.

I know that very well.

I'm really amazed by you.

However,

I don't want things to pass just like this.

I'd rather be called a maniac and do something crazy.

I'd rather have people call me a fool and do something foolish.

No.

You have Hoon and Sang Hee.

You need to come to your senses...

and focus on what you have to.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

We somehow became adults,

and we try to console those who are younger than us.

But whether we're married,

single...

or widowed,

we still don't know the answer to life...

and continue to wander.

We somehow became adults,

but our hearts still ache for the love we once had.

Knowing that we can't turn back time,

we fight against the bitter solitude.

Not realising...

That true love could be right in front of you.

(Woori City Hall)

Yes.

On a cruise?

- How can this happen? - My goodness.

There's Chief Ko.

- Hello. - Hello. What happened?

Chief Ko, my son almost died.

Some gangsters took him in there and beat him up.

Those jerks.

How do we know if they're drinking or smoking in there?

It would also be trouble if there's a fire.

This ship doesn't even run. How long will it just sit here?

It'll become the gangster's hideout. It'll cause a headache.

I'll go inside and check.

Those punks.

("Love and Cooking")

Let's vote on whose idea sounds better.

Who likes Writer Ko's idea?

This is ridiculous.

How can you vote on one's creativity?

I read all of Writer Ko's web comics.

I don't like her characters and the story isn't that good, either.

Why didn't any of you read my concept properly?

I read it over 10 times.

Are you going to take responsibility...

if we don't get the drama?

- Pardon? - If you can't be responsible,

don't push yourself forward.

My future and life depends on this project!

Hold on, Writer Na.

We're doing all this in order to make a good drama.

Sure. You guys go ahead and make a great drama.

I'm quitting.

Wait...

Are you really going to leave?

Yes. If you're older than me,

you should be a respectable and trustworthy mentor.

I want to work under a good leader.

Writer Na. Hold on.

I'd like to ask my seven fans.

What is it now?

I thought you were doing well at your new job.

The writer that works with me quit today because of me.

- Why? - Just let her be.

Work by yourself. What's the problem?

I can make stories and draw them, but I can't write drama scripts.

I want to succeed on this project, even if it's just for my brother.

You should go and persuade her.

Forget her. Find a new writer.

- Bring her back. - No, get a new writer.

Just do it by yourself.

- I don't know. - Figure it out yourself.

You guys are so indecisive.

What are you doing, Mi Rae?

Oh, nothing.

Just getting fresh air.

What is it?

Are you pressured after Writer Na left like that?

Well,

I can't say I'm not bothered by it.

I really want to do well this time.

It's not a big deal even if we don't get it.

Then...

a new life will unfold.

I'm sorry?

I want to do well, too. I'm desperate.

If I'm pushed back any further,

I might even have to resign.

Then why would you say that?

What's so wrong with that?

I tell myself that...

whenever I feel weak and shaken.

It gives me more courage.

What's wrong with being poor?

What's wrong with being old?

What's wrong with having a background that's not so good?

What's wrong with being single?

What's wrong with failing? Things like these.

It takes off the pressure,

and it helps me challenge myself.

You're right.

What's wrong with failing?

I'll continue doing this work.

Even if people try to stop me, I'll continue.

Producer Kang.

You're like a mentor to me.

You're a respectable leader to me.

No.

That's the kind of adult I wanted to become,

but I lack in so many ways.

I still trip and fall all the time.

Aren't you going home?

No. You go on ahead.

Here are the files on the cruise ship you asked for.

Okay.

- What is this? - Chief Ko.

You haven't been to the theatres in a while, right?

This movie is really popular among couples these days.

Even middle-aged people like it.

Forget it. Take it.

Can we go together when you have time?

Then...

Ta-da.

What is that?

You received an invitation from the Top 10 Chef Festival.

- Really? - Of course.

You're now invited to the party where only the best chefs come.

(Top 10 Chef Festival)

When did you...

apply for this?

I prepared your profile...

and magazine scraps and sent them over last week.

I know you always wanted to go.

I can't believe it.

Good work today.

Starting tomorrow, we need everyone on their feet to research.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Producer Kang. - Yes?

Writer Na isn't picking up. What should we do?

It just doesn't end, does it?

I'll go to her place today.

I'll come with you.

Forget it. You should focus on your own love life.

You guys go ahead.

- Okay. - Okay.

Are you free after work today?

I have good news. I want to be congratulated.

(I have good news. I want to be congratulated.)

What is it?

I'll tell you in person.

(I'll tell you in person.)

What should we do?

I have something tonight. I don't think I can see you.

(I have something tonight. I don't think I can see you.)

All right. Then have a good day. I'll see you later.

Okay.

(Okay.)

Why don't we go to a karaoke bar next time?

All right. Thank you.

Hello.

Hello. We're running into each other often.

Is it all right for you to meet...

with a specific producer prior to selecting our broadcaster?

What are you talking about?

He's just a friend. He was in the neighbourhood.

Then what is that?

This?

It's just pamphlets.

Why? Did you think something would be in here?

Did you think there would be a secret document?

Gosh.

I need to talk to you.

Okay.

Is this regarding your sister's copyright incident?

I'm sorry about what happened.

But...

we cited the original work through captions,

and she's working well at our company now.

It was Min Joo who made that happen.

Right.

You must know well since she lives next door.

Hold on.

Where do you want me to come?

Is Producer Han nearby?

Yes. We'll grab the documents from him before visiting Writer Na.

Okay.

Sorry.

Then...

what is it you want to talk about?

Eun Ho.

Do you remember him?

Jang Eun Ho.

Why are you bringing him up out of nowhere?

We were shooting "Paradise of the Youth"...

at KBN.

I was the director. Of course I remember.

Eun Ho.

He's a big loss.

Do you still have a grudge against me?

No.

Then why are you bringing this up?

The woman...

he was engaged to...

was Min Joo, right?

Min Joo.

You have no idea how happy I am to see you dating again.

Aren't you going to date?

No, I'm too lazy.

I want to be lazy at home on the weekends.

I don't want to dress up to go see a man.

It's too much work.

Yes, you feel that way as you get older.

How much do you have to love someone...

in order to give up all of your time and effort...

while treating them as your priority?

Is it worth giving up your freedom?

Someone who makes you forgo your laziness.

Someone who makes you care about that person more than yourself.

I guess a person like that is whom you're meant to be with.

Once when I was in my 20s, I got up at 3am...

and washed my hair just to see my boyfriend...

because he said he was coming by out of the blue.

I was in a huge rush to get ready even though I was still half asleep.

Min Joo, have you ever washed your hair at 3am to see your boyfriend?

Of course. I've done worse things.

There's nothing I haven't done.

I see. When you and Eun Ho were together?

I'm sorry.

You're with someone else now, but I keep talking about him.

It's okay.

Who else would talk about him if you don't?

You're the one who consoled me the most back then.

I must say, K Broadcasting Company was too irresponsible about it.

I get that it was an accident,

but the victim's family didn't even know what caused it.

They just said that it was caused by spontaneous combustion.

Goodness.

Does Eun Ho's mother still...

She's at a retirement home. I haven't visited her in a while.

Min Joo. Try to forget everything...

and focus on your newly found love.

Got it?

Yes. Min Joo and Eun Ho were going to get married.

Are you still drenched in guilt about what happened back then?

Or are you going to try to blame it all on me now?

It was just an accident.

- An accident? - I wasn't there when it happened,

but it didn't become a bigger deal as we took care of it immediately.

If we had said that he died because we pushed ahead with our shoots,

who would've taken all the responsibility?

Why did you move to a different company if it was only an accident?

You quit and left, too.

Had I stayed there, they would've held me responsible for it.

Then you should've at least let the families know how it happened.

It's all over now.

You're also happy with your current job, so all is good.

Hey, Min Joo.

I didn't expect to see the two of you together.

I went to the city hall to meet up with Mr Shin.

You know Head Chief Shin, right? The one I went to school with.

Yes.

Here. Try to take it easy, all right?

You should've let me know if the schedule had changed.

Is this it for rookie actors?

I guess we need to hold an audition.

Where are you headed now? You're not going home?

I have to take care of something. Have a good time, then.

Thank you.

I didn't know that you're her next-door neighbour.

Anyhow, I haven't said a thing about that incident to Min Joo,

and I will continue to keep it from her, so you should do the same.

I'll get going now.

So are you saying that you no longer want to be part of our team?

I don't want to get my feelings hurt any more.

Listen. It's not because Producer Kang favours Writer Ko over you.

Forget it. That's enough.

We've already spent so much time on it. We at least need to know why.

Producer Kang is so arrogant and biased.

I can no longer put up with her pricking and torturing my soul.

You haven't even shown me your soul.

Pardon me?

Why do you keep hiding it?

You keep hiding and concealing your true self.

How do you expect the viewers to feel your sincerity?

Come back if you can be yourself.

If you're going to keep concealing yourself,

I won't be able to work with you, either.

Producer Kang, please.

How...

How did you know?

I've been married twice,

and I have a six-year-old girl, too.

That's right. I write to earn a living.

To be honest, I always beat myself up.

I'm struggling with writing these days.

Mi Rae seems...

to be able to come up with ideas that I couldn't even think of,

so I get so annoyed when I see her.

If I keep working with her,

I'll continue feeling horrible about myself.

I don't think I'll be able to handle it.

How did you know? You're so perceptive.

All I've been doing is work, so I should be able to see that.

It shows in her writing.

She's probably been aggressive with me for the same reason.

She must've wanted to hide having low self-esteem after her divorce.

Putting up a tough front could've been a way of doing that.

Anyway, I'm glad we sorted it out and that she's not leaving.

- Hey, Min Joo. - Hey.

What a perfect timing. What were you and Mr Ko talking about earlier?

Oh, nothing special.

He's Mr Shin's subordinate, so we just made small talk.

Nothing else happened, right?

What would happen?

Why are you calling me, then?

Oh, right. I wanted to ask you something.

What's going on between you and Mr Ko?

What are you talking about?

Isn't he your next-door neighbour?

That means he's your boyfriend.

Yes! He's my boyfriend. What are you going to do about it?

All right, then.

What was that about?

He might actually like you, you know?

- No way. That's impossible. - My goodness.

My gosh. What if he divorces his wife and comes to you?

I heard he's already divorced.

What? Seriously?

I had no idea.

I'll get off right over there.

Okay.

Min Joo.

Hey.

Did everything go well?

Yes.

By the way, what are we celebrating?

Make sure you're available this weekend.

I've finally become a member of Korea's top chef's union. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Really?

It's equivalent to athletes joining the national team.

Congratulations! That is so awesome.

You're such a talented chef!

I wanted you to be the first person to hear this great news,

so I've been waiting for you to get home.

They're throwing a party this weekend, and you have to come.

Okay. I'll be there.

I'll get going, then.

All right.

("Paradise of the Youth")

Min Joo and Eun Ho were going to get married.

- Good work! - Great job, everyone!

- Good job. - Thank you.

- Eun Ho! Come and help me. - Thank you!

Okay! I'll be right there.

- What do you need me to do? - Let's put that in here.

Sang Sik.

That's so cool. Is it from your wife?

Yes, you silly.

Gosh. I should get married soon, too.

I'm jealous.

I heard you set a date for your wedding.

You have to come, okay? You must see how beautiful the bride is.

Sure thing. Congratulations in advance.

What's your job as my assistant? You're in charge here in my absence.

Hey, this is the last scene. You take charge for this one.

Team B is having some problems, so I have to step out briefly.

Stay focused and do a great job, everyone. See you all later.

- Be careful. - Get out of here now!

Eun Ho!

- Eun Ho! No! - Sang Sik.

Sang Sik.

Sang Sik, get out of there.

Don't let go of my hand!

Eun Ho!

Eun Ho!

That day,

if we hadn't pushed ahead with the shoot...

If we had stopped the shoot,

that incident wouldn't have happened.

Wait.

Could you spare me a second?

So...

I know that these are the historical sites in Woori City,

but I'm wondering if there are any other cool spots...

to film the lead characters' date scenes or other major scenes.

This area isn't really residential, so it won't be lively enough.

And I'm not so keen on this area.

Would this neighbourhood be better?

What do you think about this area?

I'm sorry.

It's probably against your integrity to give me such information.

I'm sorry that I asked you.

- Then I will... - Min Joo.

I apologise.

Pardon me?

For what?

I should have done something.

I'm sorry.

What are you...

talking about now?

Sang Sik.

I work as a chief officer at the Woori City Hall,

but I haven't been able to help you a lot.

I'm very sorry.

Wait, but...

Is it going well?

No.

Why not?

It's just not going well.

The writer who was on our team left because of me.

- What? - I feel heavily responsible now.

I'm also scared of letting everyone down.

You must feel so much pressure to do well.

Yes.

But our next-door neighbour...

I mean Producer Kang. She said this to me.

"What's wrong with that?"

What?

"What's wrong with losing?"

"What's wrong with failing?"

She told me that telling myself these things will encourage me.

When I was feeling frustrated,

I tried telling myself, "What's wrong with that?"

And strangely enough, I felt so much better afterwards.

I see.

I'm realising now...

that you have an awesome boss.

She's pretty cool.

That's probably why Jun Woo fell for her.

She's a great leader at work,

and she's an outstanding mentor to her colleagues.

When will I become an adult like her?

Why not?

What do I lack?

I like it here.

I will not leave.

Okay. Next applicant, please.

Thank you.

I don't think we can find a rookie like this. Let's give up.

- Why do you say that? - Even Producer Han...

cast Na Joo Yeon as a lead actress for his drama.

Think about what the other networks must be planning.

What brings you here?

I'm here for the audition.

Who is she?

My name is Min Ji Sun.

Please leave. Next, please.

- Wait a minute. - We don't have time for this.

Get her out of here.

You can't do this here. Please leave.

Why not?

What do I lack?

I like it here.

I will not leave.

Okay?

Wow.

Why in the world are you doing this?

I was curious about what you'd be like at work.

I wanted to know what kind of position you have and what you do.

I was thinking that you must be an inspiring woman...

to make Jun Woo fall head over heels for you.

And?

Well, you're pretty cool.

You're in a position where you can choose someone.

I'm jealous.

You also have a dream of becoming a successful model.

You can make it happen.

That's my job, not my dream.

My dream is already over.

You'll no longer see me at the cafe.

I quit.

So you can have all the fun you want with Jun Woo now.

I don't think your dream is over yet.

You're doing this here right now...

because you want your presence to be recognised.

You want the attention.

Cut the nonsense.

Get home safely.

Don't even try.

If you have to try,

that isn't love.

I can see everything.

(Olden Days, Golden Love)

It's Monday, so...

My goodness!

Do you two know each other?

Of course!

Why are you two together?

Oh, I brought her because she was looking for a bar to drink alone.

She's here to drink solo?

Please have a seat.

Forget it.

- I'll find a different bar. - But...

Just a second.

Did you have to use this as a trivet for the pot?

Why?

You said you want to become a strong support system for the citizens.

Does it hurt your pride to see your photo being used as a trivet?

You're the deputy mayor, but so what?

All of your children got married, and your husband passed away, too.

You don't even have a close friend to drink with.

I'm just reading what's written here.

So you did read the article.

Well, please don't be like this and...

What kind of liquors do you have?

That's the ramyeon I usually eat.

Make me a bowl of it, then.

Hurry up!

Well, that's...

Why is my skin losing elasticity?

I have to make sure that I don't forget to put this on.

(To Young Ae)

Young Ae, email me all the files now.

Have you had dinner yet?

No, not yet.

Let's go out. I made a reservation at a nice restaurant.

- What? - The place you wanted to check out.

Oh, that restaurant.

But...

- I don't think I can go today. - Why not?

I have to work.

Really?

All right, then.

I'm sorry. You even made a reservation.

No, it's okay. I won't keep you from your work.

Why are you coming out of there?

What brings you here at this hour?

Didn't she say anything to you?

What do you mean?

She's really something, that woman.

She's such a hypocrite.

What are you talking about now?

Min Joo. She's a hypocrite.

No one understands you better than she does.

How can you say something like that about her?

Did you say she understands...

- me? - Yes.

She understands you more than I do.

Understand what? She doesn't even know me.

She said breaking up with me...

will make you feel isolated from the world.

She told me to understand you because you'll feel that way.

How arrogant.

Ji Sun.

I don't want to break up.

It hurts too much.

But I'll leave because I don't like her.

Ji Sun.

Thank you.

(To Park Jun Woo)

Jun Woo, I'm sorry. You even made a reservation.

Next time, I will...

(Jun Woo, I'm sorry. You even made a reservation. Next time, I will...)

Hello, Young Ae.

I sent it to you via email.

Okay. I'll check.

Are you going to work at home, too?

I always do.

You should focus on dating.

I don't have time for that.

Producer Kang?

I'm sorry.

In the past, whatever I did was time spent for myself,

but I can't easily adjust to sharing everything with someone...

all the time.

I'm a little worried.

- What do you mean? - How much you can yield...

to the other defines how much you like him, right?

Check and see how much you're willing to give up.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

Thank you.

- May we get two orders of this? - Okay, Sir.

What made you change your mind to come here?

I felt bad about it,

and I couldn't work, either.

Is that right?

How is it?

It's delicious.

Of course it's good since one of the top chefs selected it.

Do you want some wine?

You have to drive.

You can have a glass without me.

Excuse me?

May we get one glass?

Okay, Sir.

- Thank you. - It's a party for couples...

for the meeting with the chefs this week. Is that okay?

I see.

What did you think? Did you like the restaurant?

Min Joo.

Did I fall asleep?

Yes, you looked tired, so I didn't wake you.

Where are we?

Come out for a while.

My goodness.

I have to go back soon. I'm not done with work yet.

Young Ae, I'm out right now.

I'll take a look at it soon and reply to your email.

Okay.

Do you have to go?

Where are we right now?

You should have asked me first.

I'm sorry.

Until now, I made my own decisions on everything in my life.

Sometimes, it's easier when someone else makes decisions for me,

but it's hard when you take away my right to decide...

and do whatever you like.

Are you being upset right now?

No.

I made the mistake of falling asleep.

Complain when you're annoyed.

Express anger when you're angry.

We should argue sometimes to truly date each other.

That's not what I mean.

Why are we here, by the way?

Thank goodness.

There are fireworks today.

We can get a great view from here.

Wait a moment.

Watch.

This isn't what I meant to write.

What was it?

Never mind.

I'm sorry. You prepared all this for me.

I'm so tactless, aren't I?

Let's go now.

Yes, I'm working at Woori City Hall.

Who's taking care of your children?

Their mother is.

How many children are you thinking of having?

I'm not thinking of any.

Is it because of your age?

No, I just...

want someone whom I can be with like friends.

You make friends outside of home.

I need a wife at home.

You don't have to worry about money. You can quit your job, too.

What should I do at home?

You cook when I frequently invite people over for work.

You can also keep the house clean.

I think you need a housekeeper.

You owned a private institution which went out of business.

You must have quite a lot of debt.

I do a little,

but I can pay back my debt as long I continue working.

Your profile said you dislike men younger than you.

You and I are similar in age.

You look young, as well.

You're Ms Koo, right?

It's me, Soo Hyuk.

Cha Soo Hyuk?

Yes.

It's great to see you again.

Likewise.

Are you on a blind date?

Yes, and you?

- Yes. - Let's meet later.

Okay.

She taught me how to write essays when I was in high school.

You got lucky today because she was very popular back then.

Popular?

Pardon me,

but I'll get going now.

Call me when you're done.

Bye.

Hey, how dare you treat me like this.

Have you gone crazy?

How can you be so proud when you're only a tutor with debt?

Who do you think you are? What did you say?

Who are you?

I'll let it go for the sake of my work.

I don't need things like this,

so get lost.

- Then what happened? - I felt so relieved.

Girlfriend?

She is my...

No, I'm not.

Can't I introduce you as my girlfriend?

What would people think?

Who cares about what they think as long as we like each other?

I'm sorry.

I'm so...

tactless, aren't I?

If you have to try,

that isn't love.

What about your student?

He told me to stay strong by eating this.

What's the possibility?

I don't think it'll work out.

I'm talking about myself.

With Jun Woo? Why not?

I'm thinking...

about stop trying so hard.

- What? - Trying hard?

I don't think...

I can do it.

What's the problem?

I feel excited, but I don't feel comfortable.

I'm grateful that he likes me,

but I don't like him enough...

to give up my life.

I don't want to yield...

or give up anything.

In the end, you didn't fall in love.

I really wanted to, though.

Are you going to tell Jun Woo?

I...

should, right?

Gosh, I can't believe you.

It's so hard to love.

When I was a teenager,

I loved celebrities...

and easily fell in love with teachers at school.

In my 20s,

I had crushes on senior colleagues.

In my 30s,

I fell madly in love and went through a painful break up.

Why is it so difficult in my 40s?

Hyun Seok.

How could you do this?

You said you liked me.

You said you wanted to date me.

Now, what?

- You don't think I'm the one? - Ye Ji, I...

Tell me you like Hye Dam instead.

Why are you hiding it from me?

- That's more cowardly. - It's not that.

I just want to be alone.

What?

You want to be alone?

Ye Ji.

I should tell him, too.

Even kids tell each other the truth.

I should tell him.

Is something wrong?

I'm having a really hard time.

Where are you going?

The chef festival is today.

You're so lucky.

You achieved your dream, and you even have a girlfriend.

You're so cute.

We're supposed to wash the windows today.

Let's do it tomorrow, okay?

Min Joo, remember our appointment today?

I'll be waiting.

(Min Joo, remember our appointment today? I'll be waiting.)

Okay, I have something to tell you today.

See you later.

My arm hurts.

Why are you doing it alone? You always do it with Jun Woo.

You can't reach the top anyway.

Jun Woo is busy dating.

Gosh, how frustrating.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

She's 29 years old. Her name is Min Ji Sun.

What happened?

She overdosed on medicine for depression.

- Pardon? - We pumped her stomach for now,

but we'll have to wait for the test result for details.

I'm sorry, Min Joo.

I don't think I can go today.

I'm really sorry.

I'll call you later.

Weren't you going somewhere with Jun Woo?

I...

got stood up.

You got stood up?

It serves me right.

What do you mean?

Love found me after a long time,

but I couldn't fall in love.

I think I failed.

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with failing?

You said saying that makes you feel better.

Take your time to think.

Don't come to a conclusion...

too quickly.

Jun Woo.

Did you wait for a long time?

I'm sorry for being late.

It's okay. I'm sorry.
