Original subtitles

I feel so bad.

You've lost so much weight.

How could you overwork yourself until you fainted?

Well, I'm really okay though.

Isn't this mine?

I saw that Princess had it.

When did you come by?

I was there last night...

because I wanted to see you.

It was too late, so I held back.

But not anymore.

When it comes to good things,

things I want to see and hold,

I won't be holding back anymore.

This is nice.

Mamma mia!

It's the chief editor!

Mr. Ji?

Oh, my dear!

My goodness!

You came by.

Mamma mia!

My poor Mr. Ji!

Oh, my goodness!

Look at what's happened to your perfect complexion.

You've lost your glow!

You look like a dried up orange peel.

Your tiny face has gotten even smaller.

I'm fine.

You're not okay at all!

Seeing you like this breaks my heart.

Hold on. What's that?

I heard something.

It's coming from there.

Does a fairy live in there?

Is it a fairy?

I made that sound.

I do this whenever I shiver.

Oh, my! Are you shivering?

You're lucky I'm a human heater then.

Come to me. Here.

I'm fine now.

Actually, I feel overly heated.

I must be in bad shape.

You're hot?

-Then you should-- -I'm fine now.

You'll need to cool off.

-No, I'm good. -My goodness.

You're a complete mess right now.

I have no doubt that you'll take The Most

to the number one rank,

so don't overexert yourself.

You can count on me for support.

I don't want to brag,

but I have a lot of connections.

When it comes to people,

they cower in my presence.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

Of course.

I wish to give you a massage all night

with my healing hands,

but I have a previous engagement.

You should get some rest anyway.

Okay, then.

Get some rest.

Goodbye.

Oh, but my dear,

I have to admit that you don't look very Most-esque in that hospital gown.

Get well soon and come back to me,

as your Most-esque self again.

My goodness.

Is she gone?

Yes.

Kim Hye-jin, I see that you're a closet lover.

You hid in my closet too, remember?

My heart is racing.

I was so nervous!

What are you doing?

What's wrong with your eyes and your lips?

What?

I was going to ask you to hold this for me.

Don't tell me you thought I was going to kiss you again?

No, of course not!

Kim Hye-jin, I thought you just liked closets,

but you love to be kissed too.

That's not it!

I was only closing my eyes because...

Goodness.

A bird pooped on me.

I'm going to be late!

Ha-ri, join us for dinner at the print center later, okay?

It's our family's most special day today.

-Your parents' anniversary? -Yes.

My colleagues are throwing me a farewell party though.

I guess you can't make it then.

See you!

-I'll call you if I postpone it. -Sure!

Good morning.

Sure.

Your stomach must be rumbling.

What?

It wasn't me.

What's wrong with you?

-What's that? -What the...

Gosh, you really must not be feeling well.

-It wasn't me. -Seriously?

Mr. Kim!

It's not me.

I said it wasn't me!

It really wasn't me!

What was that about, Mr. Kim?

Everyone thought I farted.

Why play a joke like that?

-Yes, there's the Jackson I know. -What?

Let's continue to be comfortable with one another.

I don't want things to be awkward between us.

Let's not do that.

It's so uncool.

Mr. Kim...

I'd be sorry to lose a sister like you over something frivolous.

So be comfortable around me

and relax.

I'll be comfortable.

What did Mr. Ji do to deserve a great girl like you?

If you have any problems with him, just let me know.

Your brother will teach him a lesson.

Got it?

I fell down.

Going up.

It's so bright.

-How are you? -Good morning.

Good morning, everyone.

Are you okay?

You should get more rest.

I'm feeling great.

Let's have another great day and make something happen.

Good day, everyone!

Am I the only one who heard that?

Was he whistling just now?

He's creeping me out!

Earlier, I saw him hit his head on the glass really hard.

Something smells fishy here.

Those are tell-tale signs of someone who's in love.

I wonder what kind of woman he's attracted to.

I know, right?

I wonder who he's dating.

I'm so curious.

I'll get that for you.

You're smiling again!

Here's your mail.

Please stop making it so obvious, Mr. Ji.

What are you talking about?

What's so obvious?

You keep smiling like someone who's lost his mind

and you're even whistling.

People are wondering if you have a girlfriend

and what kind of woman you're interested in.

Why can't people know about us?

If they know, it'll get really awkward.

So please act like everything is normal.

How do I usually act though?

You know!

You flip this ridiculous hourglass all the time

and make everyone angry with your spiteful remarks.

Like an insolent, horrible lunatic!

Right.

I guess I've always been an insolent, horrible lunatic.

Of course not.

I'm not saying that you're always like that.

Anyway, act normally, okay?

Besides that, have you completely recovered now?

As you can see.

Think about your health and watch your coffee intake.

From now on,

you're limited to three cups a day.

Excuse me now.

Don't make it obvious.

Cut down on coffee.

Also, don't open the blind. You'll make it look obvious.

She's adorable.

I have one cup left.

I think we should do an article on ateliers of the designers

participating in the Seoul collection.

-What are your thoughts? -I think it's a great idea.

Then, I'll separate by designers and look for some more interesting concepts.

Ms. Cha, I'll put you in charge of the arrangements.

Yes, sir.

How did such an introverted boy become this good at addressing a crowd?

It never ceases to amaze me.

Next, the features team.

What was that just now?

Were you giggling over there?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I ask that you focus during the meeting.

You're throwing us all off.

That'll conclude our meeting for today.

-Good work, everyone! -Good job.

Hye-jin, are you dating someone?

What?

I know, right? Are you really in love?

-It's so obvious. -What?

-What are you talking about? -You're acting suspicious.

My goodness.

You're hopeless, Jackson.

Goodness!

It's so obvious that you're seeing someone.

You look so happy right now

while I'm miserable.

No, I think you're wrong.

No, I think I'm right.

I thought she told me not to make it look obvious.

Hey, I like how you acted back there.

Act?

What do you mean?

You scolded me so that it wouldn't be obvious.

That wasn't an act.

I was correcting you during the meeting.

Were you really scolding me then?

Did it upset you?

I'm always serious when it comes to work though.

Of course I'm not upset.

Work is work!

Still, a little...

Never mind.

Is that supposed to be an American style or what?

She's adorable!

This Ten is a complete monster!

How can a book be this enjoyable?

Poong-ho, can I borrow it after you?

Me too. I want to read it.

After I'm done.

Jun-u, you said that Ten is a Korean woman in her forties?

Yes.

I think you may be right.

I'm positive!

The backdrop of this story is Korea.

Really?

Then does that make the director of The Avengers Korean

since the movie was filmed in Korea?

If she wasn't Korean, you couldn't come up with this stuff!

Get my drift?

But why does she call herself Ten?

I know. I wonder why her name's Ten.

Maybe because she plans to retire after ten novels.

Why do you think it has to do with the number ten?

Ten.

Ten has many different meanings.

For example, it can mean "here" in Spanish.

"Here it is." What do you suppose that means?

What do you think it signifies?

Forget it.

"Here it is."

Do you think the chief editor knows something?

Yes, it's your auntie.

I hope you didn't forget about our five o'clock.

Don't be late.

Oh, my!

Can I find out who the nephew is at 5 p.m. then?

Gosh, I can't believe it!

Oh, she's here!

Oh, my!

Oh, my!

Wait, where's her nephew?

Oh, no.

-Hey, Han Seol! -Yes?

Darn it.

I told you to arrange the makeup, not to loaf around!

I got a little thirsty, that's all.

Hurry up.

Mr. Ji will be reviewing our work later today.

Then please let me stay here for five more minutes.

-Just five more minutes. -Don't be ridiculous.

Follow me now!

Over here!

My nephew.

Why are you always at least ten minutes late?

Let's eat.

Oh, I heard from your father

that you'll be accepting the VP position.

Does this mean you'll be coming back home?

I'm headed home for the day, Mr. Ji.

Why? Let's have dinner together.

I have to go to the print center today.

Oh, right.

Will I not see you again today if you leave for the day?

No way!

My goodness.

Then I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Ji.

-Let's go. I'll take you there. -What?

It's okay. I know that you're busy.

I want to be with you a bit longer.

I'll be getting some fresh air too.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Go on inside.

You go first.

Is this goodbye for the day then?

That's nonsense.

Why do you keep saying that?

I thought you only needed to see me for ten seconds at a time.

I was holding back even though I wanted more time with you.

What? The two of you are holding hands!

They're going out! The two of them are going out!

-Kim Hye-rin! -Dad, they're going out!

Look, Dad!

Hey, Kim Hye-rin!

If I knew about the occasion, I wouldn't have come empty-handed.

-It's all right. -Nonsense.

We don't need gifts between family members!

Of course not. We're family.

What do you mean he's family? Also, why invite a busy man to stay?

Thanks for coming. Since you're here, stay for dinner.

You should eat even if you're busy.

He can't. He's really busy!

Sure, dinner sounds great.

Try this too.

Try some of this too.

I didn't make it myself, so it's really good.

-Thank you very much. -Sung-joon.

Try some of the ribs too. The meat is super tender.

Have some bulgogi.

Don't forget to chew.

Give him some space for crying out loud.

-Why? -What's your problem?

Are you jealous?

Here, try some of this meat.

A man needs meat for his strength.

Have this too.

Dig in.

Doesn't this look good too?

I hope you like it.

Is it any good?

One more. Open wide.

Oh, right.

We didn't take any pictures.

We always take a picture on my parents' anniversary.

Here, I'll take the picture.

What are you saying, son-in-law? You should be in it too.

-Come here. -Of course. We're not leaving you out.

Stop calling him your son-in-law!

There.

Hurry up and join us, brother-in-law! Let's take a picture together.

-All together. -Come.

Sorry. We wasted so much of your time.

Why was everyone overreacting?

Don't be sorry.

I would've regretted it if I didn't come along today.

Go back inside. You should be there on their special day.

All right.

Don't work too hard.

See you tomorrow.

Hye-jin.

Yes?

I'll call you.

Okay.

Drive safely.

-Bye. -Bye!

Were you here with Hye-jin?

Yes.

You should head inside.

Okay.

-Well... -Well...

Can we talk for a moment?

That's...

exactly what I was about to say.

I'm sorry about that day at the hotel...

and even more so for all the days leading to that.

I wanted to apologize to you in person.

I'm sorry...

for lying to you.

I'm sorry that I didn't let you explain.

It was wrong for me not to let you explain your side of the story.

No, not at all.

I know that you thought I was Hye-jin,

but you helped me through some hard times.

Thanks.

And again...

I'm really sorry.

I'm sure you're here to congratulate them,

so go on inside.

I should.

See you.

Sure.

If I had met you as Hye-jin's friend,

we might have become good friends too.

Thanks...

for saying that.

I'm really going now.

I thought you were having a farewell party.

I postponed it until tomorrow.

I met Ji Sung-joon in front of the house earlier.

You did?

I was able to talk to him.

I'd missed my chance to tell him the truth,

but I'm glad that I was able to apologize to him.

Yes, Sung-joon.

I'm sorry, but I'll have to call you back.

I'm brushing my teeth.

No, go on ahead. I'll wait.

I should brush my teeth too.

Oh, right. I heard you cleared things with Ha-ri.

I'm happy you did.

Yes. Is she still over there?

She's unemployed and has a lot of free time,

so she's staying at my parents' house for a few days.

She's more like their daughter at times.

Oh, so until you left for college,

you had lived with your dad and your aunt.

Then you must be really close with your aunt.

Yes. She was like a mother to me.

Wow, red-bean waffles.

Hey, this is so funny!

The spelling is all wrong.

"Hye-jin, I hope you get better."

But you wrote "better" with one "t" instead of two.

What? I think Ha-ri just came home.

Give me a second.

I thought you were going to spend the night there.

Hello.

What's this? We were just on the phone.

Wait.

I haven't seen this face in a while.

You're so cute.

Why on earth are you here?

This.

What's this?

You were talking about red-bean waffles earlier.

Weren't you craving it?

See you.

Wait.

To be honest, I was craving it too.

It's so much better when you share it with someone.

What's your blood type again?

Type AB.

Oh, that must be why you go from being an A to a B all the time.

I don't go back and forth like that!

You do when you're at work...

We finished it.

Good job.

This is a picture of me when I was 15.

-Sung-joon. -Yes?

What's this?

Were we out here all night?

When did we fall asleep?

We need to get to work!

-See you later! -Okay, see you later!

Good morning.

-Hello. -Hi!

Hello.

How are you?

-Good morning, Mr. Ji. -Good morning.

Good morning.

Mr. Boo!

Oh, Hye-jin.

Hye-jin!

Gosh, you're so charming.

Hye-jin, is this really you?

Yes, it is!

Yes. So Hye-jin, what brings you here?

I'm here for the goods that we requested

and I wanted to say hello to the Management Team.

I'm glad you came!

You'll be joining us again in three weeks, right?

Excuse me?

Are there only three weeks left now?

Only three weeks?

I can't believe we have that much left.

See, I've marked the calendar

and I'm counting down the days until your return.

I can't wait until you come back to us.

Oh, so there are only three weeks left.

What?

Look. I was right!

Ten really is Korean!

-What? -Really?

-Really? -He's right.

It's trending at the top of the search ranks right now!

Someone asked Ten through social media if she's Korean,

and she wrote "yes" in the comments.

Ten replied personally.

Really?

-My goodness. -How patriotic of her.

She's a patriot.

Yes, I'll contact you by tomorrow at the latest.

Sure.

-What's happening? -He's back.

Mr. Ji.

What's going on?

No one from the head office has visited us before.

He's someone I've worked under.

It was simply an informal visit.

Don't let it concern you.

Well, Mr. Ji.

Kim Shin-ae wants to schedule an interview with us,

so what should I tell her?

Since we're not sure about Leonard Kim, we should forget about him--

That interview will not...

We cannot overtake New Look with an interview with Ms. Kim.

Try to buy some time.

Meanwhile, I'll personally speak with Leonard Kim.

Did he threaten to shut us down?

Oh, no.

It's fine.

We'll just have to succeed.

This is a ten-minute film that Leonard Kim made

while he was still in school.

We'll discuss it after you review it.

This is one of his unknown works

and it'll help us understand him better.

Hopefully, it'll make it easier for you to approach him.

Thank you.

But...

what will you do if he refuses to work with us?

This is our final opportunity.

We need to do everything we can to raise our scores.

I mean, I'm risking everything on this game.

All right, we'll play this game in order to win.

All you have to do is respond with a fist bump of your own.

Mr. Kim.

Thank you.

-Ms. Cha! -Yes?

This is an article from our foreign correspondents.

Is there anything useful?

Yes, there are several.

But Ms. Cha,

have you heard of the odd rumors coming from the head office?

If we don't become the number one magazine by the next issue,

The Most Korean branch...

is to be shut down.

What?

What are you talking about?

Our foreign correspondents wanted to know what'll happen to them.

Oh, my! Is that why he came here from the head office?

Nonsense, why would they shut down our magazine?

Shut down? Stop being ridiculous!

Mr. Ji, what's going on here?

Is it true that if we don't become number one,

The Most Korean branch is to be shut down?

Yes, it's true.

Then why didn't you...

How can you keep something like this from us?

I made the judgment call that it'd be best if you didn't know.

You've been here for three months now, am I right?

I've been working for The Most for 13 years!

I've sacrificed my youth for this publication

and now we may be shut down.

How do you think that makes me feel...

to just be hearing about this now?

Ms. Cha.

If you respected me as a colleague, you wouldn't have acted like this!

I've considered the positions of all of the employees.

-However-- -No.

You didn't consider us at all.

We weren't given any opportunities and let this happen under our noses.

We weren't even given the chance to fight!

Your judgment call was an extremely selfish one.

Come out, all of you.

Ms. Cha!

How can he let us down like this?

He should've told us so that we could take precautions.

That's why he was being so strict.

Still, thanks to Mr. Ji, our sales have spiked.

All we need to do is hit number one next time.

Why don't we give it a shot?

He's so talented, so I'm sure he can do it by himself.

All we have to do is finish our articles, right?

Let's go, guys.

Sure.

Eun-yeong, let's go.

Mr. Kim...

DEPUTY CHIEF EDITOR, JI SUNG-JOON

Are you okay?

Yes, Hye-jin.

It was all so sudden.

Everyone is probably just in shock.

They'll be back--

Hye-jin...

I'm sorry,

but can I...

be alone tonight?

I'm really sorry.

Yes, okay. I understand.

I'll get going then.

Yes, sorry again.

Yes, we can coordinate the interview however you like.

No, we can work around your schedule.

I see.

Yes, I'll be waiting for your call.

Hi, this is Reporter Kim Shin-hyuk from The Most Korea.

Yes.

Yes, I'll be waiting for your call.

You asked me for complete control over the team.

Was it just to run it like this?

Oh, dear.

This is far from being Most-esque.

Stupid.

There are no right answers in protecting something.

I can understand that there was a misunderstanding

and I know you meant well.

But a little bit more,

you should've trusted your teammates.

No, if you had depended on your team a little more,

you could've avoided all of this, my dear.

You didn't consider us at all.

Your judgment call was an extremely selfish one.

He's so talented, so I'm sure he can do it by himself.

I can't believe you did this to us.

You asked me for complete control over the team.

Was it just to run it like this?

Allow me to escort you home.

You're still here?

Get some rest on the way home.

I'll drive. You seem really tired.

No, I'm okay.

I'm afraid you'll collapse again.

I won't let you suffer alone anymore.

It must've been hard with no one to depend on.

No one's able to solve this problem for you,

so you must've been afraid to tackle it alone.

If something bothers you from now on, tell me about it.

If you want to be in pain, do so in front of me.

Stop trying to handle everything alone.

Let's do this together, okay?

Together, Sung-joon.

It's okay.

It'll be all right.

Everything is going to be okay.

Hello, Jackson.

Hello.

-Yes. -I understand.

Ms. Cha, I missed you so much!

What did I tell you about me and sentimentality?

Oh, yes.

What made you return?

I didn't want to regret it later.

Even if we get shut down, I want to go down on my terms.

I concur.

Mr. Ji can't do anything without me around,

so I'm back.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning, Mr. Ji.

We're having a meeting in 20 minutes.

-Understood. -Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

But everyone is back.

Who was that?

Leonard Kim has called me back.

He's on board.

-Really? -This is great!

I thought of a feature concept while I was away.

As for me, I have a thousand interview questions.

Nonsense! A thousand questions?

I can tell no lie.

There are laws that govern fortune

that say there is just as much good fortune as there is misfortune.

A brighter day follows the storm

and we're reminded to stay strong and push forward.

Eat up, Little Sister.

It's for free!

I know!

That wasn't the original intention.

What was the intention then?

Wait.

Our website posted a preview of Leonard Kim's interview.

-Let me see! -Here.

20TH ANNIVERSARY PREVIEW: INTERVIEW WITH LEONARD KIM

Look at the number of views.

He rarely holds interviews,

so people are already looking forward to it.

We're closing the gap with New Look.

Now that we've secured Leonard Kim,

we're guaranteed the top spot.

Honestly, I thought booking Leonard Kim would be impossible,

but Mr. Ji really pulled it off.

But is everyone in on this?

How did everyone return in unison like this?

Well, I don't know if I should mention this.

I know you all have your reasons, but my situation is a bit different.

What do you mean?

Mr. Ji came looking for me and convinced me to stay.

He was crying me a river.

It practically flooded my neighborhood

and people had to travel on boats.

He came looking for me too.

My neighborhood too.

Mine too.

Mr. Ji visited each and every one of you?

And I thought I was special.

Well, that's that.

Now that we're together again, let's shoot for the number one spot.

-Yes! -Yes!

Shall we make a toast to that?

Let's salute instead, to be Most-esque.

Yes, let's keep it Most-esque. Salute, everyone!

-Salute! -Salute!

I knew it.

You're at the office on the weekend.

Don't starve yourself while working.

Here are Leonard Kim's style during his modeling days

as well as my thoughts on his work in recent films.

I hope that it can be of help to you.

Strength!

Wait.

It's still warm.

Hye-jin!

Why did you come outside?

Go back to the office. Go back!

Stay right there for a moment.

What?

You'll enjoy it?

Yes, I hope you do!

No, I'm telling you to stay right there.

You want me to stay here?

Why did you bring that out here?

I don't eat as much as I did in the past.

Let's eat together.

I made sure that you had enough for dinner too.

Go back to work.

I don't want to interfere your work.

Come on, let's eat together.

Let's go.

Wait, where are we going?

On a picnic!

Hey!

The air is nice.

I shouldn't have come by.

I'm only bothering you.

Let's play hooky for just two hours.

Shall I try this then?

It looks good.

Why?

Is it that bad?

Gosh.

How did you make this so tasty?

-What? -You're a closet maniac,

a kissing maniac,

and a cooking maniac as well?

This is really good.

Try this too.

And this.

The pumpkin patties are really good.

After that, try some of this.

I brought you soup too.

What kind of soup?

Seaweed soup.

It's like my birthday.

Here.

That's so good.

Wow, this is nice!

Hello!

We're late. Hurry up.

Excuse me.

You dropped this.

-Thank you. -Thank you very much.

Where did she go?

Darn, I didn't bring my phone.

Boo!

Did I surprise you?

What's the matter?

Did I startle you that much?

I thought you left.

What?

Why would I leave?

I found a really pretty place over there.

Let's go. Hurry up.

Look at the sparkling lake.

Isn't it beautiful?

Watching the lake just calms me down.

Sung-joon,

we're almost there,

so you can stop sprinting now.

Stay calm, like this lake here.

It's really chilly here. Why is it so cold?

Is this better?

Yes.

Hye-jin.

Yes?

I'm going...

to tell you something now.

What is it?

You may think I'm rushing it a bit.

You might even think I'm crazy.

Hey, you're starting to scare me.

What's this about?

After we successfully publish the 20th anniversary issue

and The Most Korea is saved,

I'm going to propose to you.

I'll do whatever it takes to succeed,

and then go ahead as planned.

There are laws that govern fortune

that say there is just as much misfortune as there is good fortune.

Are you cold?

Try this.

I hope we really do succeed...

just like you said.

I really hope you will be successful...

in saving The Most Korea.

I really do.
