Original subtitles

I thought I'd never be able to walk on this road with you again.

But we're walking together like this.

I believe that we are meant to get back together again,

and we could take courage to start things over during that time.

During my time of ignorance,

I lost a lot of things.

But they are only physical things.

All I had

was my love for you.

There was no light in my life.

All I need is your love.

That's the only truth that I learned from my time of ignorance

I've gone through.

Even if your life is full of dark clouds,

I will still love you.

Is it possible to love dark clouds?

-How dark are they? -There's no sun.

And there won't be?

No, it will continuously be dark. The whole time.

Lack of sun is a cause for depression.

Your immune system gets weak

and you pass out from vitamin deficiency.

Exactly.

Taking antidepressants and vitamins would work only for a year or two.

Don't you think the power of love would make things better?

Human beings are weak.

The power of their love would be just as weak.

Right?

Don't you think their love will end in disaster?

So this is a sad ending with time-limited love.

Why would you ruin a beautiful love story

with an unnecessary after-story?

He's right. That's why every drama has an ending.

It's only beautiful up to this point.

But do you think it's a happy ending just because it ends with "I love you"?

Even if it ends with "Let's break up,"

it could still be a happy ending

because they wouldn't have to see the ugly end.

Isn't it a kind of happy ending?

Don't be too pessimistic.

No matter what reality is like,

things should end with "I love you" in a drama. It sounds more beautiful.

Then why don't we do it all at once?

-Good. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

I love you.

Just once? Now that we're at it, we should do it a few more times.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -Love, love...

-I love you. -Love, my foot.

All right. I like dramas that are all about love.

Because I won't fall in love for real.

Saying you won't fall in love means you want to be in love.

It's just what you say

after ending a long haul of your tiring relationship.

But the resolution

has no power.

That's what schoolchildren of these days say. "I won't love."

Still, Jin-joo had some meaningful time after her breakup.

She worked hard on her writing after she broke up.

Let's break up.

-Why? -Because I hate you.

I'm asking why you hate me.

Can you tell me more details?

Why would I elaborate on the reasons I hate you?

Why would I look into things that I don't even want to see?

Don't be so clingy.

Let's just be cool and end things here. Okay?

What? Cool?

Be cool?

What made him upset was the word "cool", not "clingy."

I even hated that about him.

I broke up with him because I hated everything.

I really hated everything about him.

You got drunk and called me first.

I wasn't even interested in you, but I happened to be drunk at the moment.

Hey,

you're the one who wanted to go to the motel first.

What?

Are you kidding me?

I was just walking by, but you suddenly stopped there

and said, "There's a themed motel. I wonder what the theme is."

Weren't you the one who said that?

I just wanted to figure out what the theme is.

What the...

Did you just smile?

It's my fault.

You should've said that sooner.

Who are you with? I heard a woman's voice.

Don't pretend to be drunk again. Hey!

Damn it.

This crazy nonsense has become my weekly routine.

I'm never seeing that jerk again.

It's over. It's really over. Totally over.

I don't even have any regrets. I don't have any feelings left.

I don't! I really don't! Damn it!

You want to break up?

How dare you?

What do you think you are? How dare you want to break up with me?

How dare you say something like that to me?

For days, a dozen times a day,

I wondered if my text message would bother you

or if you'd feel annoyed to eat with me.

That's how I felt about the guy I dated for seven years.

Even now,

you only talk about yourself.

Two nights ago,

my friend saw you...

at a motel.

Well, I was feeling okay.

You cried day and night for three days.

After crying day and night for three days, she was fine for a couple of days.

Then she cried again for another three days.

I did? Didn't I cry watching a drama?

The Reply series was on.

Was the drama sad enough to make you cry for five days after two episodes a week?

I watched the reruns every day.

When a woman's tears stop, a man's tears of blood begin.

You won.

Who wins or loses is not worth discussing. I was too young back then.

We all end up meeting good friends

after going through all that.

It's strange, isn't it?

I didn't even care about it before.

I mean, it was too far from things I was interested in.

But, surprisingly, at the speed of light,

it came into my mind and whispered to me.

You've been fooled too, right?

It's not that you're heartbroken over a breakup.

It's love that breaks your heart.

You begin to get hurt the second you fall in love.

And it subsides as you break up.

You fiddle with the scab on your wound.

And once the scab comes off,

you just feel empty, and that's it.

I didn't feel hurt when fell in love

and got wounded at first.

That's why you were fooled.

Love? Is it something you can see?

Do you think it's everlasting?

I guess it's not.

Trust what you can see.

Believe what lasts forever.

Love? It's just a fraud.

Don't let the illusion fool you.

And just take me.

Did you break up with your boyfriend recently?

It has been over a year. Can I say it's recent?

Did you stop dating and focus on your writing?

-Can you read fortune? -I just read writings. It says everything.

-You got dumped. -Not really.

-And you're completely over him. -You're right about that.

How did you get over him?

I had something I wanted to achieve.

Something to achieve?

I had to find out

if what that bag whispered to me back then was true.

I decided to find out if it was true.

Please transfer it to my checking account.

-If you close the installment-- -I am aware of the terms.

It's not that much anyway. I don't care about the interest.

I was so determined

that I even committed theft.

Mom.

You know my coin bank that I've filled up with 500 won coins?

My entire fortune that I've saved up for life.

The little rascal isn't lying where it used to lay

and has hidden itself from my presence, nowhere to be found.

Could it be

that my older sister who recently stopped by

has something to do with this?

Forget about it.

That poor thing...

Please transfer it to my checking account.

She's now studying to become a police officer

to throw people like me in jail.

And everything turned out

to be true.

My new relationship with the bag

made me reflect on myself.

And I began to look back on my dreams too.

I realized how precious they are.

And that my dreams will bring me

to more those great friends

who have taught me the real value of life.

So I just focused on my writing.

You pass.

What?

Your enlightenment isn't out of touch with your goal.

And your goal bears resemblance

to what I'm still trying to reach.

It made me become curious.

I must say your writing isn't good enough though.

Do not get smart with me. Make sure to obey me.

There's no way what you say to me is right.

And your writing will never be better than mine.

Lower yourself before me. Can you do that?

I will never be compromising your name

the Great Jung Hye-jeong.

Good.

You can start working tomorrow.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I will do my best.

It's Writer Jung Hye-jeong. I'm Ms. Jung's assistant now?

The omnidirectional renovation of my life has begun

by getting over my ex-boyfriend.

It's like clearing off the deep-rooted evil of my life.

I'm finally on my way to success!

I put in some 500 won coins. Let's start over.

I swear I will put you in jail someday.

Mother, Father.

The precious drumsticks are all yours from now on.

But we like chicken breast.

-I know you've craved the drumsticks. -No.

We really like chicken breast.

-Just eat it. -Okay.

So are you saying

that this writer lady is very famous?

-Yes. -What did she write?

The Passionate Lion, I'm Dr. Lee Sa-bu, and Ping-pong King, Kim Je-bbang.

-Do you know those? -Yes.

-Do you? -Yes.

I know them too.

You're right, she is famous.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Cheers.

I'll be respected.

I'll be someone great.

I'll pave my path to success and have flowers thrown at my feet.

And I shall walk on no other path.

I'll walk only on the flowery path!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Cheers.

Right, a flowery path is actually an unpaved road.

I can do this.

I can do it, but I might die on the way.

Okay. I must hold out.

We have the star director who has never failed his drama.

-He joined JBC at the age of 28. -I was 26.

He debuted as a drama director at the age of 30.

I was 28.

His first drama exceeded 15 percent

-of the ratings. -It was 16 percent.

And all his four other dramas made biggest hits.

A huge hit.

Was there anyone who hit five consecutive home runs before?

I must say one of them was a two-base hit.

And the Chuseok special was more like getting to first base on balls.

All right. This is Today's Figure.

For today, we have Director Son Beom-su of JBC

who has been producing dramas continuously

without failure, ups and downs, or a hitch.

Welcome.

Is this your first time in our office?

Well...

It is, but it doesn't feel that way.

Offices are all the same.

What matters is that there's a scriptwriter who isn't the same.

-Horse bean tea? -Okay.

Say hello to him. You know Director Son Beom-su, right?

-Hello. -Hello.

It's a privilege to work with him. Try your best.

-It's an honor. -It's an honor.

-Me too. -Right.

Can I just try my best? Without having to work myself to death.

Jin-joo, you may get off work.

Okay.

It's nice welfare for employees. She's leaving already.

I came to work yesterday.

I'm getting off work already. Bye.

-Almost got hurt. -Me?

Am I hating this guy right now

because that's how a successful man behaves?

Or is it that I'm just jealous because I'm not?

You should become successful first.

If you still hate him, you can say that he's just annoying.

I want to be annoying too.

I'm sick of being bossed around.

Don't you feel nervous when you're not bossed around?

Right. I'm afraid because I feel nervous about it.

I just walk feebly after being bossed around all day.

But people tell me not to walk like that

because I might run into a pervert.

-What? Who says that? -A news report.

Why can't I walk feebly whenever I want to

just because of some pervert?

This is crazy.

It's upsetting that I'm not successful, but do I have to care about perverts?

You're successful. What are you getting mad for?

I should become rich and hire a chauffeur.

So I won't have to care about how I walk.

Right. Just stay away from nut rage or yelling at people.

That's all you need to remember.

Han-ju used to be successful though.

-Very successful. -Right.

A schoolchild is asleep.

Why do you always drink and chat away in the house when you raise a kid?

What's the use of having a soundproof home

when the noise is coming from the living room?

I'm sorry. It's our fault.

Sorry. It's not that you were successful. You still are.

He looks like he'll make big money soon.

Han-ju was smart and popular back in college.

Even when she didn't try to smile,

she had a lovely and bashful smile.

That wasn't all.

Guys asked her out to play badminton.

They asked her out to have some coffee.

Let me get something for your birthday.

Han-ju, do you like dogs or cats?

Dogs.

-Dogs are the best. -You know, I raise dogs myself.

They even asked her out to take a walk around the lake.

And Han-ju has

never rejected them.

But Han-ju was known to be impervious.

Well...

She was so skilled in refusing someone's love.

How she used soft maneuvers to dominate over the advances made at her

resembled the graceful movements of Wu Tang tai chi chuan.

Han-ju liked to study.

And she preferred her female friends.

But one day...

Days like this always come without forewarning.

What do you like?

What do you mean?

What is it that you like?

Who are you?

NO SEUNG-HYO

I wonder what you like.

I mean, what kind of man you like.

I'll leave once you tell me that.

A man who doesn't do things like this.

I kept thinking of a way not to do this,

but I couldn't think of any.

A funny guy.

THE FUNNY, THE HANDSOME, THE WEIRD

I've joined a comedy troupe.

Come watch it.

I don't play in it yet,

but come watch anyway.

Why did you not come?

I didn't think it'd be funny.

THE FUNNY, THE HANDSOME, THE WEIRD

I'm starring this time, so make sure to come.

Wait.

You're being too unilateral, so I feel offended...

Well... Maybe not offended,

but I feel uncomfortable.

Don't you study?

What's your major?

I don't go to this college. I'm not good at studying.

Then how did you...

I just saw you on the street and followed you here.

Hey. Give me that brat's number.

He's a pervert.

I don't have his number.

He just left like that.

I can't let this happen. We should call the police.

No, he stopped coming after I said I didn't like it.

That pervert might be watching you from somewhere even now.

I don't think he's that kind of guy.

What? What is going on?

Are you actually curious about that jerk?

That's not true.

My gosh.

Why? What?

We would carry around a backpack back in school, right?

But the important thing is that you always had

a recorder in your bag like this.

You always had it stick out of your bag like this, right?

I'm sure you did.

And that's not all. If you take out the recorder,

-your spit came out of it like this. -My gosh!

-Some kids even fell down. -Right. It happened. I did see them.

-There's more. -When you're walking...

-Your shoelaces are undone. -Me?

-It did happen. -Did this happen or not?

-This definitely happened to you. -What is this? What's going on?

The shoe bag.

-Did you ever do this or not? -I'm sure you did this.

All right. On our way home.

Hey, do a fall. Fall down like you just did, I said!

Does this look funny to you?

-Tae-hun, show him. -That doesn't make sense.

Take out the recorder.

-My gosh! -Was that so hard for you to do?

-Darn it. -You're still not getting it.

Do you get scolded like that when you don't do things right?

-I wasn't scolded. -You weren't?

They were asking me for advice.

I guess they yell at you when they ask for advice.

So what was troubling them?

Some guy with no experience in acting suddenly showed up

and begged them to join their troupe.

So they gave him a part,

but he turned out to be a bad actor.

And the bad actor is...

Yes, it's me.

Did you always want to be a comedian?

Of course not.

Why would I do such a thing?

I don't want to give them stupid advice.

What I wanted to do was travel around the world

and go back to the place I hate the most and die.

To the place you hate, not the one you like?

Because I want to keep my good memories about the place I like.

I think I'll be happy to die in a place that I'm not fond of.

But

a woman I've fallen for says

she likes funny guys.

Now I want to die while making her laugh.

Isn't it true?

Then I'll quit it immediately.

It is true.

Then I'll do my best.

Hey.

Yes?

Go ahead

and try to make me laugh.

He didn't even ask, "Here?"

The guy began to make her laugh like that,

and Han-ju laughed all night long.

It's not like she just laugh all night long.

That night,

the two people found out

condoms are only 85 percent effective for birth control.

But they decided not to think that they're victims of the 15 percent.

They ended up giving birth to a child next year and getting married.

And they even got divorced.

He lacked everything, but he confidently asked for a divorce.

You want to get divorced to be happy?

Yes.

Come to think of it, I drink and smoke too much.

So I won't live for that long.

This isn't the life I wanted.

Why don't you quit smoking and drinking

and try to live a bit longer?

I don't want to live long in hell.

I can say I'm already in hell,

but I still need to live on now that I'm in this world.

I want to be happy to some degree.

Then...

what about my happiness?

Han-ju.

Why are you asking me

about your happiness?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, you bastard!

Hey!

Eun-jeong wanted to give up her life to catch him and kill him.

But men like him are really fast so they don't get caught.

I run for two hours every day.

I'm bad at fighting, so I should always be ready

to run away.

Hello.

I have different-sized flat feet.

So I can't wear just any sneakers.

So I'm picky when it comes to sneakers. But when I put these on...

Before long, his lame skit became popular

going along the current trends, and he even got on TV commercials.

It's not like he even tried hard.

He was born lame to begin with.

She was just left alone with the pain of childrearing.

And hardships of life.

This is aggressively bad.

Grow up quickly and drink beer with me, No In-guk.

He's not No In-guk. He's Hwang In-guk.

I changed his last name to mine. We didn't register our marriage.

Right?

You're right. That's good.

No In-guk doesn't sound right.

It means "country for old men." Right?

My son, Hwang In-guk. I'm sorry for the confusion.

I'll take better care of you.

Look at you. This is one happy family, isn't it?

Of course we're happy.

How can I not be happy when I have him?

Stop smiling when things are tough. You should swear and curse at him.

I'm too busy for that. I should make money to buy milk.

I guess I should transfer to a correspondence college

and start working. Is there any job opening?

What? What did you say? In-guk.

I'm not late. I'm really not.

Nice meeting you. Good morning.

I'm not late.

Come right on time. Don't even be close to being late.

I am aware of that.

Don't show that you have a kid. Don't even reek of a baby.

Yes, ma'am.

Take the prop for the PPL and go to the scene immediately.

By myself?

Go ahead first. You know how it's done.

Yes, I am aware.

It's a cut.

You son of a bitch!

You're no better than barley sprouts in midsummer.

You damn idiot.

I told you to get rid of it. I threw it away earlier, right?

That's what I remember.

Gosh, I'm so proud that you remember it.

Well, we have to put in this product placement,

but you didn't do it last time. And this is our final scene.

Yes, you're right.

I guess while the main character was blasting off his guns like this,

he somehow had time for jelly snacks.

According to what my boss said,

a worker who used to work here could have dropped it when he had some.

That could be a reasonable scene-setting...

So an employee from a planing mill dropped a jelly snack while working.

And it happened to be placed gently and neatly on the spot

where the main character would die, years after he quit the job.

-Is that it? -Yes, that's true.

True? You fucking bitch!

You fucking twat. God damn it! Hold that bitch down.

Why don't we change the title to Jellypo? Why the fuck not?

Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt you while you're swearing.

But I keep getting calls that say my kid is sick.

And my boss isn't coming.

So I'm afraid I have to

go home right now.

You fucking bitch!

You're one selfish bitch, you know that?

So your kid is sick? I'm fucking sick too.

I'm so going to kill you and eat this fucking jelly snack

as I condemn myself to hell.

In-guk.

In-guk.

What took you so long?

He had a terrible fever.

It just broke after he got an injection.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Speaking of which, when did you decide to become a comedian?

It was when I met her.

What? What are you talking about?

-It's so romantic. -She said she liked funny guys,

so I joined a comedy troupe right away.

Really?

It just doesn't make sense.

It sounds like a lie.

You just joined a comedy troupe just because

a woman you loved said she liked funny guys?

That's ridiculous.

It's true. I just went there right away.

I asked them to teach me some skills so I can make her laugh.

I remember this clearly.

Some handsome guy just showed up

begged us to take him in with tears.

He begged us on his knees.

That's how he came up with his catchphrase.

Right. I think I heard it before.

I admit that he's a romanticist.

What about you two? When you first saw him,

did you think he'd be successful?

I can't say I was sure about that.

Actually there are various types of comedians.

Like this guy right here.

Seo Dong-hun and guys like him are the "Inspiration "type.

And then you got your "Perspiration" type...

I should've killed that jerk back then.

Then you wouldn't have been able to meet me.

I guess you're right.

I'm sorry.

Eun-jeong has loved documentaries since she was little.

And her dream has never changed even once.

She got to join a famous documentary production company.

Her superiors deemed violence to be their religion.

And the company didn't even know about employment laws.

Eun-jeong.

Isn't it hard to do your research all day?

If so, you should go make some coffee for us.

Staying in your seat will only make your buttocks bigger.

Right? Go!

Coffee mix will do.

You idiot.

I just told you to edit it by order.

How dare you cut scenes off? What do you think you are?

You arrogant idiot!

Was it something hard to do?

Why can't you do something everyone else can?

Why did I hire you in the first place?

You're driving me crazy.

It was really tough...

But I'll put up with it.

You jerks are just mere employees.

And all you can do is shit with your mouth.

-That's how pathetic you are. -She held out thinking that way.

Damn it. I can't believe this.

Why did I hire that bitch?

Company dinner, tonight.

I have plans tonight.

Actually I was joking.

I'm sorry.

Good work, guys. Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Thank you for your hard work. -Thank you.

-Good work. -Well done.

What's that brat doing?

Why aren't you drinking?

To stay healthy.

I want to live a long life,

or something like that.

Are you crazy?

That's it.

You don't have to drink then.

Just drive me home later. How's that sound?

See? I knew she'd like it.

Gosh, I had no idea.

This is what I respect about you.

Those who last win.

She held out thinking that way.

But...

-Eun-jeong. -Yes, we're here.

-Why don't you... -Yes?

call me sweetheart?

What did you say, you son of a bitch?

What?

What are you doing?

Hey, Eun-jeong.

Hey. What are you doing?

Eun-jeong. Wait.

This place is surrounded by offices, so people are very nice.

And it's far from the roadside, so it's quiet.

How much is the rent?

It's 4.5 million won a month with a deposit of 20 million won.

-Liar. -Pardon?

This one is a lot cheaper than other places in the neighborhood.

And it has no flaw.

How much is it?

It's 1.5 million won with a deposit of 10 million.

Liar.

You want an office. You can't say it's expensive.

Just tell me the price you want.

I will make my own documentary.

Lee Eun-jeong will become successful.

My beginnings will seem humble,

so prosperous will my future--

So trifling will your future be.

This office will be gone too.

Han-ju, do you agree with her?

No. I'm a little worried though.

Good luck.

It's an open bathroom. Chinese-style.

You know there are open bathrooms like this in China, right?

It still has a ceiling. That's good.

My gosh.

Have you tried pooping with an umbrella on a rainy day?

I have.

Sounds lovely.

Interviewing pro-Japanese people?

It sounds interesting.

Right. That's what they say at first.

But they end up splashing water on your face

or overturning a table.

"Interview pro-Japanese and their descendants,

talk about the traces of their past,

and track how they've accumulated their fortunes"?

I like it.

Hong-dae, you're a high school graduate.

You wouldn't have been able to run a cafe like this without your family's support.

I'm just assuming with prejudice.

Just tell me if it's not true--

It's true.

That's how

my family accumulated the fortune.

But not this cafe.

I dropped out of high school, moved out, and passed a GED myself.

I started my business from scratch at Dongdaemun to have come this far.

I'm serious.

It's true.

Well, it's true that I moved out of the house

because I hated my parents' personality.

Anyway,

I'll give my full cooperation as a descendant of the pro-Japanese.

I guess I can help you with many things.

Now that something unexpected happens,

I don't even know how to react.

I think you're cool, Eun-jeong.

I'm not really interested in social problems,

but I do know people like you are really cool. I'll help you.

But

Since I'm a businessman, I do have one condition.

I'm listening.

This documentary of yours.

Please let me invest in it.

Do you want to invest in this project which will obviously fail?

Do you even know the definition of "investment"?

Of course I do. That's how I make money.

If you do, why would you want to invest in something risky?

Well... Let's just say that I want

a taste of being cool, too.

Say hello to him. This is my uncle.

He's the only family member I talk to.

He's totally pro-Japanese.

Hello.

We printed out a list of questions. Please take a look at this.

THE PRO-JAPANESE, THEIR LIVES AFTER INDEPENDENCE?

My family is pro-Japanese,

but his family is a lot worse.

The descendants of the Five Eulsa Traitors.

-Well... Hong-dae. -Yes?

-Are you all right? -I'm fine.

Why are you limping?

Well...

They threw things that could have killed me.

I sprained my ankle trying to avoid them.

But I'm okay.

I'm fine.

They say no. Let's go.

Get lost!

-They're over there. -Hey! Stop right there!

Stop right there!

I brought together the descendants of the pro-Japanese.

There are my friends, the friends of my friends, and even cousins of them.

Hey.

-Did you quit it? -What?

Make sure to quit.

Once you get to know them, they aren't that bad.

They're just a little rude and reckless.

They are smart though.

You can't do something bad when you're not smart.

Say hello to them.

Hello. I'm Director Lee Eun-jeong.

Why are you staring at me?

I was just thinking

about giving you more shares in the documentary.

Why are you so excited about giving me more shares?

Money is always exciting.

You're right.

But there's

one thing that's more exciting than money.

What is it?

There's just something.

Let's do this right.

Do you think it'll go well?

What is there to think about?

If it's sold out, we can just get a ticket for the next show.

Eun-jeong's documentary made with 100 million won

drew three million audiences.

And she literally became a billionaire.

What is going on?

Eun-jeong, let's go. There's too much dust in here.

You don't deserve such lowly things.

All right.

Gosh, Eun-jeong. Wait.

Hey, get rid of this dangerous thing right away.

How rude of that thing it is to block our Eun-jeong's way.

I don't want popcorn to get stuck on your precious soles.

They are just puffed corn.

Be careful.

Eun-jeong said she realized for the first time

that the value of wealth and fame

stands way below the value of love.

She said what's more exciting than money is love.

I know. I've seen movies and dramas, so I know what you're doing.

Fortunately, I know you were headed for the bed.

But your brother is here.

You can make it X-rated when you're alone,

but it will definitely be PG-13 when I'm around.

Let's not make this complicated.

I did it a few times while you were asleep.

-You kissed me? -Yes.

-While I was asleep with my mouth open? -That's why I did it.

I thought I had a racy dream.

You did?

Tell me more about this dream.

I'll show you.

Is there a limit

to your heart for someone?

Do you want my hair?

No, it's okay.

Why not? I have a lot of hair.

There's something I didn't tell you.

Okay.

Your hair is kind of crunchy.

But it's okay. You have a pretty face.

You're pretty too.

So it's okay.

Gosh, you're so pretty.

I know.

It's salty.

It is.

Here. Try this.

Eun-jeong was always tougher than anyone.

Everyone was thankful that Eun-jeong was holding out pretty well.

She did seem to be struggling,

but she also smiled every once in a while.

We thought she got better.

Eun-jeong. Eun-jeong!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Please help these children.

They are waiting for your donation.

Call 1477-1004.

PLEASE HELP THESE CHILDREN THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOUR DONATION

No.

She did smile.

But the problem is

that she smiled at something that wasn't supposed to be funny.

I should go to work though.

Yes.

Go ahead and sleep.

I'm hungry, so I'm cooking some noodles. Do you want some?

No.

Gosh.

-In-guk. -Auntie Eun-jeong.

I'm spending my vacation here.

In-guk, you're too heavy to do that.

Come on down.

Come here, In-guk.

Gosh, what was that?

Come here!

-Rock-paper-scissors. -Rock-paper-scissors.

On the pretext of taking care of Eun-jeong,

the three women and two men started living together like this.

I know what you guys are up to.

The true purpose of us living together.

To reduce your rent, to share your childrearing work,

and to share your domestic chores.

In-guk, I told you not to jump at night.

Go wash up now.

I'm right.

-It's true. -Whatever the reason was,

we all were satisfied with the idea of living together.

Eun-jeong got better over time,

and we realized the value

of having ordinary times with no trouble.

But there was a little problem.

We've been there before, right?

Why do I feel like I have?

You might have gone there. I wasn't there though.

I see.

What's wrong with your memory?

You went there with me saying you were nervous

the day before your movie was released.

You could've just said that.

Why would you test me?

We just got used to it without making a big deal about it.

Everything was the same as before except that.

And there was no problem.

Whatever. I love you.

To be more exact, we didn't have the guts to deal with it.

A small change at the point that was believed to be the maximum stability

was really frightening to these people

with this hopeless experience

where they almost lost their loved one.

So is this what life is all about?

With some happy memories,

we just put up with hard times of life.

I may sound a little pessimistic, but it's too harsh.

It's harsh.

I can't deny it.

But I'm just happy that I'm making

some good memories now.

Chatting with you guys like this.

It makes me happy enough.

We're only 30.

Let's not be so sentimental looking back upon the past.

I'm tired. I'll do that once I turn 40.

It's okay to do that.

I don't have to look back on the past.

And I don't have to worry about the future.

Let us

just focus on the immediate crisis.

What kind of crisis?

Like me wanting to eat noodles.

My gosh. I won't.

-I'm not eating. -Are you serious?

How could you say that?

You're not supposed to say that at this hour.

Go to your room if you can't hold out.

Make three servings.

Do we have rice?

-We have some cold rice. -Damn it.

We have rice here.

-Shall we eat rice? -Yes.

Take out some kimchi.

Waiting for the day when instant noodles that are healthier at night are invented,

-we just -Enjoy.

-wish to live a happy life -Dig in.

where we feel excited from time to time

and sometimes feel threatened going through crisis.

One ordinary night,

these thoughts come to mind while we're having some noodles.

THINGS WILL BE FINE ONCE YOU TURN 30

SPECIAL THANKS TO LEE HA-NUI AND JIN SEON-KYU

EVEN IF YOUR LIFE IS FULL OF DARK CLOUDS, I WILL STILL LOVE YOU

I LIKE DRAMAS THAT ARE ALL ABOUT LOVE

BECAUSE I WON'T FALL IN LOVE FOR REAL

SAYING YOU WON'T FALL IN LOVE MEANS YOU WANT TO BE IN LOVE

WHAT ABOUT MY HAPPINESS?

WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME ABOUT YOUR HAPPINESS?

EUN-JEONG SAID SHE REALIZED FOR THE FIRST TIME

THAT THE VALUE OF WEALTH AND FAME STANDS WAY BELOW THE VALUE OF LOVE

SHE SAID WHAT'S MORE EXCITING THAN MONEY IS LOVE

-I held hands with a man. -I slept with a man.

I donated all my money.

Get out.

You're fired.

No, I'm not leaving.

Your life is so full of ups and downs.

-I like you. -Why would you say that when I'm eating?

-I said it when you scooped rice. -You did?

Then... We're in the cafeteria.

Tell me the truth. Did you do it?

Japchae rice.

Go get the jerk who just left.

Once he gets caught, he'll eat getting beaten up.

Do you have malice against me?

Thank you for letting me have fun at work.

You're a scriptwriter, so you must not have a boyfriend.

-Why? -Because you're sensitive.

You're a director, so you must not have a girlfriend.

-Why? -Because you're condescending.
