♫ It was love, that was all ♫

♫ It’s still the same ♫

♫ I've always waited because I couldn't give you more ♫

♫ Even if we get a little far apart, we are bound to touch ♫

♫ Love is not kind ♫

♫ When I go closer, it gets farther away ♫

♫ But love isn't all bad ♫

♫ Because it calls you by my side once again ♫

Lee Hyeon Su.

I thought I would never be able to see you again—

♫ It has to be you ♫

♫ It has to be you again ♫

♫ The one inside me was you. I've missed you ♫

♫ That laughter that was always warm, and never ending ♫

♫ It came to us again ♫

♫ It came to us again ♫

♫ My love ♫

♫ Because ♫

♫ you're my only love ♫

♫ I miss you even when I am looking at you ♫

♫ Rather than saying I love you ♫

♫ Rather than saying I love you ♫

♫ I will tell you even even better words ♫

♫ Not too hot ♫

♫ but not too cold either Always warm like now ♫

♫ I will return them all ♫

♫ My love ♫

You know I went to Paris after getting an e-mail from Alain Passard.

After breaking up with you,

I missed you so much.

After you left,

I won the writing competition. But I wasn't happy.

It's something I had really wanted.

But because you weren't there, it wasn't fun.

Do you know how I survived in Paris?

Do you remember the time we went to Beolgyo?

Yeah.

I kept the train ticket from that time.

I taped that train ticket on the locker door and thought about you.

I lived day to day like that.

I went to Paris. To look for you.

Really?

Yeah.

I went to Arpège,

they told me you had moved to another restaurant.

I was worried that I will never get to see you again if I left now.

I drove there when I didn't even know the time of your flight.

Degree of Love

Assistant Writer Hwangbo

Hello?

I called to ask you a question.

By chance, did you have a meeting with Hyeon Su at the office yesterday?

Why do you ask that?

I couldn't reach her and she didn't come home last night.

I will be there.

Aren't you hungry?

I am not hungry.

This won't do. Wake up.

Look at this.

Sit.

Oh, my gosh.

- You made this?- Yes.

It took me an hour.

It's so pretty.

You won't go to Hong Kong anymore?

I won't, if you ask me to not go.

This reminds me of the old days,

when Alain Passard contacted you.

I hope you won't go.

- Doesn't that taste good?- Yeah.

- Be careful going down. - It's fine.

You have a real knack at scaring someone.

Oh?

Crap.

Later.

- She still hasn't called? - No.

Have you called others?

I didn't contact her parents. I thought they might worry.

If I make a fuss and Hyeon Su returns home, that would be embarrassing.

Eonni!

Oh, CEO Park. You're here?

CEO Park was worried.

I am sorry.

I need to go and get changed.

Hello, CEO Park.

Hello.

Oh, but our lunch and dinner are fully booked.

Should I give you a cup of tea?

No, it's alright. I just dropped by because I was passing by.

Hyeong.

What brings you here?

You haven't left for Hong Kong yet?

Something came up.

I am leaving.

Were you with Chef On?

- Yes.- Yes?

Why are you looking me with those eyes? You're embarrassing me.

Are you back with him?

I don't think I could survive without him.

Oh, my.

I shouldn't have called CEO Park.

I thought something might have happened to you so naturally CEO Park came to my mind.

It seemed like CEO Park was really shocked when you came home earlier.

Oh, I shouldn't have. My tongue!

3 missed calls from CEO Park Jeong Wu

This is the first message.

Why do you have your phone off? Once you turn it on, give me a call.

CEO Park was worried

I need to go and get changed.

Lee Hyeon Su

I bought it because I thought it would look good on you.

Sincerely, Park Jeong Wu.

You're here?

This was a hat.

Seriously.

What's wrong?

I don't know. CEO Park is too good of a catch.

He's such a good person. Stable and warm.

If he marries Hyeon Su, I will treat him well.

It will be a win-win for both of them.

What's the point of saying such things? It's Hyeon Su who will have to live with him.

Did I say otherwise?

They are flustered since you were supposed to arrive yesterday but you didn't.

I am sorry.

Why are you behaving like this?

There is a woman I love. I realized it the moment I was leaving.

If I leave now, I think I will lose her.

I don't understand.

You could go back and forth and meet her. Yet, you are giving up on a job?

Six months in a lifetime is very short. You can't even endure that?

I lost her recently. I don't want to stay apart from her even for a bit.

I will accept any penalty you ask for. I will accept any requests.

Love... So in the end, you'll give up work for love.

That sounds like you, Chef On.

Where do you want to go? My drama will air very soon.

If you take a brief break, you'll be able to write even better.

♫ Do you remember that day ♫

♫ that was particularly warm? ♫

♫ Those days when every single moment ♫

♫ was beautiful like in the movies ♫

♫ Those days that were filled with you ♫

♫ will they end while they dazzle? ♫

It's beautiful.♫ Still the hands of my clock ♫

♫ stay and sleep there ♫

I think I've had this before. Am I wrong?

You're right.

When did I eat this?

Truffle.

You're right.

Whenever I drank this wine in Paris, I thought about that time.

During the special Christmas event at Good Soup, I will give it out to customers for free.

I really like it when you're like this.

I decided not to go to Hong Kong.

Is it alright if you don't?

It won't be alright if I don't,

but I thought if I leave now, I may miss out on the most important thing in my life.

Are we starting again?

Before we broke up or now,

the reason we broke up hasn't been solved.

When people get back together, they usually end up breaking up for the same reason they broke up in the first place.

♫ as if your breath touched my heart ♫

Then let's decide now and get back together.

How?

Let's not break up.

♫ I pray that you feel the same ♫

♫ I pray ♫

♫ I pray ♫

I can't say let's break up face to face. Because you're scary.

P.S. I am annoyed because you asked for money.

Bastard.

Did you even give me any money?

Job application

Yes, CEO Park?

Is this it for the new recruit job application? Give me everything. I will review them before I leave.

CEO Park.

If you're tired, should I cancel your morning appointments?

No.

This is how you want it?

No. This way.

That doesn't mean anything.

Then how about this?

You're asking for failure then.

Director Kim?

What? I even shaved but I didn't get anything in return. So what?

Do you need to get something?

Do you need something? If you shaved, do you need to get something in return?

Are you happy about something?

She is happy about something.

She got back together with Chef On.

I guarantee that you will break up with him again.

Are you cursing my relationship to be doomed?

I am telling you the reality. It was the same for me.

Let your experience stay as your experience.

You love to bring up your experience, Director. It doesn't seem like a such a good experience.

You're the best, Keyong.

I'm leaving.

Already?

I am going to Hyung Jeong Wu to pressure him about our project. Even if you two make fun of me, I am working hard.

When did we make fun of you, Director? Who cares for you more than us?

Oh, you scared me.

I said I shaved.

So what?

He's asking for a kiss.

No.

Excuse me.

It's because she was startled.

Hyeong. I just had a meeting with Hyeon Su about casting.

Can you contact the actors please?

Did you leave something with me? Why are you always asking for favors whenever you see me?

Because I think you would.

- You know Hyeon Su.- Yes.

Why did I think she belongs with me?

Because you approached love like a business.

The way you conduct your business is to bide your time until the right time.

I heard Chef On asked to date her as soon as he met her. You should have went after her back then.

Then things might have turned out differently.

I have a previous engagement.

It was nice to meet you.

I am sorry. It's awkward.

♫ A stroke of cold wind ♫

Hyeong, I am sorry

She will become a writer. She's rude enough to be one.

♫ Did it even sway your heart ♫

Hold on a second.

♫ You, who's becoming distant ♫

You're a bit conceited.

Even if you're my school senior, don't you think it's unacceptable to drop honorifics when we've met for the first time?

This isn't the first time we've met. We met at the office before.

Why did you stop me?

Why did you reject my offer?

Because you didn't keep your manners, Miss Lee Hyeon Su, I dropped honorifics.

♫ No, it hurts like crazy ♫

I am sorry. Something unpleasant happened to me earlier.

It's good that you're quick to admit it when you're in the wrong.

You can drop honorifics with me, Seonbaenim.

It's good than you back down quickly too.

I read your practice script Jun Ha gave me.

You read my writing?

I don't give out an offer to work together to just anyone.

How was it?

You must like free things. You want to hear my opinion for free?

No. When are you free?

♫ I can’t let you go ♫

♫ I love you as much as my heart beats ♫

"Good Soup Doesn't Answer His Phone", by Lee Hyeon Su♫ Even if my longing for you takes over ♫

"Good Soup Doesn't Answer His Phone", by Lee Hyeon Su

♫ The only one, is you ♫

If I can't have my first pick for actors, I will be okay upto my second pick.

Am I the only one responsible for the casting?

The writer has a responsibility too.

This is my debut. You're a star PD, Director.

Who of us is the most responsible?

Even people from other dramas will start by asking those stars first.

Do you know the number of dramas currently in production?

What difference would it make if I knew?

It's a competition anyhow and the actors will focus on those dramas with higher chances of success.

Well, you have a way with words.

Let's get started. Director.

Our competitors are working right now as well.

Let's give it a try.

CEO Park isn't in.

When will he be back?

He cancelled all of his appointments and went home.

Do you know how important these days are for me? CEO Park shouldn't be resting.

Get yourself together, Ji Hong Ah. You only have your work left for you.

I will try to do a good job.

Why don't I improve at doing this?

Hong Ah

Oh, Hong Ah.

Oppa, I got into an accident.

What? Where are you now?

Su Jeong, I have to make a quick run to the hospital.

Oh, oppa?

You're not hurt?

No, when did I say I am hurt?

Were you startled?

Emergency Medical Center

I have my car with me. I will give you a ride.

You don't take me seriously till the end.

When did I not take you seriously?

I really got into an accident and you popped into my head at that moment. So I called you.

Is that so wrong?

Why are you getting mad? Your heart is the one that changed.

Was you heart ever going to change towards me?

You're my rice (pushover). Nothing is more important than rice.

Before, I was happy just by being at your side.

But I've changed.

I want to be loved too.

CP Yu Hong Jin

Yes, CP Yu.

Jun Ha wants to hire external camera staff. But it's too expensive.

If you want to do that, I can't pay for the production.

If that's the case, we can't proceed with that project either.

Secretary Kim Mi Jin

Yes?

I received a call from SBC network regarding export license for the drama.

Should I schedule a meeting soon?

Please tell them I am on a overseas business trip.

You tried to tempt me saying I should at least eat, so I was won over and I am here.

That's good. You stay home all day and work.

I don't know if I did the right thing.

But this ambiance is really good.

Choose one. Romance, action, science fiction, animation, horror, thriller—

Romance.

You have an odd way of eating it.

It tastes good. Try it.

Oh?

It's not bad.

I told you it's not bad.

Jeong Seon's mother

It your mother calling. Should I answer?

Do you want to answer?

Answer.

Hello?

Are you busy? You didn't pick up right away.

It's alright. You can talk.

You said it then. That we could continue to meet.

Yes.

I need a friend.

Mother. I will give you a call. Will that be alright?

Don't keep me waiting for too long.

Yes.

Mother is asking to meet.

Why is she asking to meet?

Mother still thinks that we broke up.

That means your mother became my personal connection now.

Do you want to meet my mother?

Whenever I try to talk to my mom for even a bit, I get stressed out.

Are you able to have a conversation with my mom?

She's not my family.

What?

I am saying it's possible since I am not her family.

You have many things piled up with the time you spent with her. But it's not like that for me.

Things will collect from now on. Up to now, it's fine.

How long you'll be fine, that's what I would like to know.
