(My Absolute Boyfriend)

(My Absolute Boyfriend)

Good morning, Girlfriend.

Who is this...

handsome man I'm seeing first thing in the morning?

Your boyfriend.

I guess I got really lucky.

Is this how you spent the night?

Yes.

It was the happiest night...

of my life.

This is the happiest morning...

of my life.

Are you sure you don't want to sleep in?

Sure. I slept well.

I feel so refreshed.

That's a relief.

Let's get ready to go out, then.

We need to take pictures together.

I'll pack lunch.

All right. Then I'll get...

the mat and camera.

Young Gu.

Young Gu.

Young Gu. Wake up, Young Gu.

Young Gu. Young Gu.

The more...

he obtains human feelings...

I mean, the more...

he loves Eom Da Da,

the more fragile Zero Nine will get.

Actually, it may have already begun.

His meltdown.

Hello?

Please help, Bo Won.

Something is wrong with Young Gu.

Young Gu collapsed, and he can't wake up or even open his eyes.

Please help. Please come here at once.

It's nothing, right?

He collapsed without a reason last time too.

What's wrong with Young Gu?

Is there a problem?

Manager Ko.

A meltdown?

What is that?

It's a phenomenon where the hardware starts to melt...

when the heat from the software's operation...

exceeds the maximum coverage of the cooling system.

So...

to simply explain it, it's a sort of overload.

It's just like how cellphones or laptops...

grow hot when they're used for a long time.

When robots reach their maximum limits,

they cause problems.

A strong heat must've been continuously generated inside him...

while Zero Nine was staying with you.

That must've been expressed like a heartbroken person.

I mean,

why is that overload happening?

Well...

Based on what I've seen until now,

Zero Nine was more than a mere robot.

He was already learning human emotions.

I think things like that caused the overload.

This is all our fault.

There must've been numerous symptoms of the meltdown until now.

We were blinded by our greed to get more data.

We overlooked the fact that it would cause an overload to Zero Nine.

Girlfriend.

Young Gu.

Girlfriend.

Bo Won.

Manager Ko is here too.

Zero Nine, are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay. I'm fine.

Are you really okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

Right. We should go on a picnic.

I'll prepare the lunch soon.

No. It's okay.

I think we should go on a picnic next time.

Why?

It's okay, Girlfriend. We made a promise.

I can prepare it soon. Just wait a moment.

Young Gu.

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

I tried to get out lunchboxes, but this broke.

I'm sorry, everyone. You were surprised, right?

Young Gu, are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm...

Zero Nine...

What's wrong with me?

I should quickly prepare lunch.

What about tuna gimbap, Girlfriend?

Would sandwiches be better?

Young Gu, you should stop.

Bo Won, I'm fine.

Young Gu.

I'm really okay.

I'm fine.

Young Gu.

Stop.

Let's rest now, okay?

Girlfriend.

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

So don't worry.

The meltdown has progressed further than we thought.

I think we should minimize his actions before it gets worse.

Even talking and moving alone...

will accelerate the meltdown.

Is it that bad?

This isn't good.

We're supposed to go on a picnic.

We're to nap on a mat on the grass,

take photos together...

Young Gu.

Bo Won.

Young Gu.

You trust me, right?

So take a break. I'll make you well again soon.

Get some rest.

Yes.

Think that you're getting some sleep.

Don't think about anything, don't do anything,

and just lie in comfort.

Okay?

Okay.

I promise.

But when I wake up,

I'll love you even more to make up for this.

It doesn't mean that your love stops...

just because you're lying down here.

So don't worry.

Now...

what happens to Young Gu?

We'll know after thorough testing,

but he has many sensitive parts.

I can't say for sure what other problems we'll find.

He can get better, right?

We can exchange the parts affected by the meltdown,

but the problem is after that.

If Zero Nine continues to learn human emotions,

the meltdown will continue.

Is there anything I can do to help?

I don't mind. I'll do anything.

No.

This is a problem we must solve.

It's our field. Trust and leave it to us.

Okay.

Please do your best.

Girlfriend.

Can't you look at me now?

I...

want to be loved.

It buzzes right here.

So...

can you not go?

And...

this isn't programmed.

I love you.

I'll be by your side forever...

and will look only at you.

Everything you said to me,

everything you did...

was at the expense of your melting heart?

I had no idea.

I didn't know.

I'll call the head office...

and ask if there's a way to fix Zero Nine.

It's all my fault.

Nam Bo Won.

I didn't know Young Gu was breaking down.

I egged him on.

To become more human.

To love more and be loved.

I pretended to care for him, but I was the worst.

Manager Ko.

I'm a selfish jerk.

All...

because of me...

Keep your wits about you.

You must stay strong. You can't let go now.

A meltdown?

That's why a toy should act like one.

So?

Manager Ko and Nam Bo Won...

are looking for a way to save Zero Nine.

What they do and find out,

I want you to spy on them and report back to me.

Don't leave anything out.

- Hwang In Hyuk. - My gosh.

Manager Ko.

- Who did you talk to. - What?

You mentioned Zero Nine's meltdown.

You didn't call Diana, did you?

Well...

Diana's more like a poison.

Don't stay around her.

I'm not.

I heard about Zero Nine's meltdown...

and called someone I know to see if they had any information.

I wanted to be of some help.

Did you get anything?

Yes, he'll see what he can find and call back.

Okay. Help us out.

Make it up to Bo Won.

He's half the reason you still have your job.

- What? - While you were away,

Bo Won petitioned the head office...

a few times to take you back.

I heard that you two were a pair.

Though you won't think so.

Girlfriend.

You were very lonely.

From start to now, I was never yours.

You don't deserve to be loved by anyone.

Poor you.

I pity you.

He'll just become a heap of scrap metal.

I should teach him properly...

what his place is.

Miss.

Can't you...

stop what you're doing?

- What? - I think...

you can stop this now.

Even if you don't get involved,

he's breaking down.

What are you doing?

Are you forgetting your place and giving me orders?

It's not that.

I'm...

saying this for your sake.

Saying what?

I've served you for many years,

but I don't see why you're so fixated on this toy.

I don't want you to become a bad person.

I'm bad?

That toy was mine. Not only did they steal it...

You were there, and you saw what they did to me.

And you're still saying this?

But...

all that...

you brought upon yourself.

I don't want you to...

get hurt anymore.

Please...

don't make yourself lonelier.

Shut your mouth.

I apologize.

Get out.

I don't want to see you. Get out!

[VIU Ver] SBS E33 'My Absolute Boyfriend' "The Meltdown" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Hi.

Da Da.

I really don't want to work after that holiday.

I want to be jobless forever.

No. I wish my account and Sheikh Mansour's got swapped.

Kyu Ri, dream your dreams in bed.

Da Da.

Where's your best friend?

He was always around.

I don't see Bo Won either.

How dare the newbie slack off already?

I don't like him.

They both have something to take care of.

They won't be around for a while.

Something came up? What is it?

There's a problem.

We shoot soon, don't we?

I must discuss something with the assistant director.

Can you set up for me?

Hey, something's definitely wrong.

- Da Da's weird. - She's weird.

The call can't be connected.

Why won't he pick up?

Is something wrong?

Woong, we're finishing all the scenes on set today, right?

Woong.

Yes? What?

What's the matter? Is something wrong?

Well...

Bo Won hasn't been picking up since yesterday.

I'm worried.

You got me worried thinking something was wrong.

And isn't this a bit harsh?

Right in front of a newly-dumped guy?

Don't get into dating mode around me for a while.

You're helpless.

(Ma Wang Joon)

What do you mean?

Something came up with Young Gu...

and he can't do any stunts for a while.

Then you should've told me sooner.

You can't just drop this on me.

Sorry.

This is crazy.

I must find a replacement.

Sorry.

Da Da.

What's wrong?

Is Temp in trouble?

No, nothing's wrong.

Nice, nice.

Hey. Blood.

- Da Da. - Da Da.

Blood. Eom Da Da.

Blood.

Cut, cut!

The blood appeared too late!

What were you doing?

Sorry.

So what if you are?

Get away from me. It's not working out.

It should've spurted at the right time.

Go again!

Director, can we take a 10-minute break?

Da Da.

Are you okay?

You never make such mistakes,

and you've been out of it all day.

Yes.

Da Da, is something wrong?

Are you sick?

No. I'm sorry.

It's not working.

What? You were fine for a while, but is it back again?

Breaking anything you touch?

Why not?

Anything I touch breaks.

Don't worry. It won't happen anymore.

Why won't it work?

Da Da.

It was just a joke. What's the matter?

Why won't it work? Why?

It's because of me.

It's because of me.

What now?

Don't cry.

Drink some water.

Thanks.

Da Da. Is Young Gu very sick?

What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

They said meltdown something,

but I didn't get what they meant.

I'm pathetic.

It's natural that you don't understand.

It's not your field.

But this was too sudden.

He was fine lately.

You're right. We didn't know anything.

He must've acted like he was fine...

because he didn't want me to worry.

In fact,

he has told me numerous times...

that he was in pain and going through a hard time,

but I didn't understand him.

What should I do now?

My boyfriend is in pain,

but I can't do anything.

There's nothing I can do for him.

Da Da, it's not like that.

She's right. It's not your fault.

It will be okay.

My gosh. Bo Won.

Woong.

Why couldn't I reach you?

Do you know how worried I was?

I'm sorry.

Did something happen?

Well...

Young Gu is very sick.

I felt so bad about Young Gu,

so I couldn't manage to look at my phone.

I'm sorry.

I see.

No wonder.

Come on. Don't be so droopy.

It's nothing serious.

People get sick sometimes too.

It'll be the same with Young Gu.

Just think of it that he caught a cold between the seasons.

No, add a bit more to that...

and think that he's suffering from flu.

Let's think of it like that.

The gym instructor I met when I was young said this.

"People must get sick once in a while."

He said that people must get sick...

to strengthen their immune system and grow strong.

Young Gu will become stronger after going through this.

Thank you.

(Real Special Effects Makeup)

Yoo Jin should help us with this. Where is he at this hour?

What is this? Seriously.

- Watch out, Da Da. - Okay.

Good work, Kyu Ri. I'll see you tomorrow.

Da Da.

You shouldn't come out for a while.

Just stay here.

What are you talking about? There will be so much work.

Don't be like that. Let me take care of the work.

You should stay next to Young Gu.

Kyu Ri.

It's because this is all I can do for you.

You told me that you trust me.

So trust me,

and focus on your love this time.

Okay?

Thank you, Kyu Ri.

Everything will be okay.

Young Gu will get up too.

Da Da.

- Hello. - Yoo Jin.

What? Kyu Ri was here too.

What are you doing here? Didn't you go home?

Yes, I went home and came back.

I came to deliver these to you.

What are these?

Well, these are documents I have collected ever since...

I was interested in robots.

But I collected them as a hobby.

It's nothing professional.

Yoo Jin.

When I knew nothing about machines,

seeing things like these made me more interested...

and taught me things bit by bit.

You seemed so upset,

and I thought these might help.

Thank you, Yoo Jin.

No, it's nothing.

I can't give you the right data since I'm not a professional.

No.

Even Young Gu will be happy...

to know that you helped like this.

I really like Young Gu.

So I hope he gets well soon.

You're doing so much, Yoo Jin.

Of course.

We'll leave now, Da Da.

Call us if you need anything.

Goodbye.

And I'll let you know about that.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

Girlfriend.

Don't go.

Did you wake up because of me?

I'm sorry for waking you up.

I came here because I missed you so much.

I really missed you too.

Girlfriend.

Please hold my hand.

No.

You might get worse because of me.

It scares me.

What are you talking about?

I move because of you...

and live because of you.

This is nice.

I feel stronger.

Including Yoo Jin and Kyu Ri,

everyone is worried about you and cheering for you.

So hang in there just a bit longer.

(My Absolute Boyfriend)

(My Absolute Boyfriend)

Da Da, what's wrong?

Is Temp in trouble?

No, nothing's wrong.

Eom Da Da.

Hey. Blood.

Gosh...

Why is she looking like that all day?

Is she keeping something in and suffering on her own?

That girl...

It's your timeline for tomorrow.

All right. Thanks.

Were you able to reach that Nam Bo Won person?

Yes.

That's good to hear.

Why was he out of reach all day?

Well... He said Young Gu isn't doing so well.

- What? - I think it's something serious.

I felt so bad for him. His face looked so sunken.

(To my loving Da Da, from Dad, August 4, 1998)

What made you come here?

I heard from Yeo Woong.

What's wrong with him?

He's having some difficulties.

What difficulties?

I don't know any further, either.

Can they fix him?

They're finding a way.

"Finding"?

What's this?

Yoo Jin brought it to help out.

Hey, Eom Da Da.

Do you even understand any of this?

I need to do something!

I can't just sit around doing nothing, can I?

Didn't I tell you?

I told you that you'd have a hard time.

I told you this would happen one day.

If you dared to leave me for him,

then you should be happy.

You should only smile.

You're supposed to make me go crazy with jealousy...

and bitter with regret...

for letting you go.

Do you think this is why I sent you to him?

Look.

Just look at him.

What can you do...

when he's just lying there like that?

There's nothing you can do, is there?

If he were human, you could give up a body part for him,

but you can't do that for him.

It won't work!

But it's the same way the other way around.

- That's enough. - No, it's not!

Even if you get past this incident,

this is going to keep happening. Actually,

worse things are going to keep coming up.

- Are you okay with that? - I said that's enough!

This is why I didn't tell you.

Why did you come here?

Did you come here to torment me like this?

I'm already miserable as is.

Go away.

I said go away!

Don't cry in front of me.

I told you not to make her cry.

Sir!

What are you doing?

- Did you stay here all night? - I found it, sir.

Found what?

I was searching for data from Europe,

Among one of the early models,

there's a robot that also suffered from a meltdown...

although its symptoms weren't exactly the same as Young Gu's.

There's a component that was made just once...

due to the request made by the owner of that model.

And it's called a heart-cooler.

A heart-cooler?

It's a component that helps to control the overheating symptom.

Once they installed this to the robot,

the overheating decreased by 85 percent.

And ever since then, it's been working just fine.

We can’t predict the error range...

since this robot had different symptoms.

But clinically speaking, the numbers do show signs of hope.

Yes.

But will it be possible for us to get this component?

After what happened,

the head office made another one for research purposes.

And that's currently the one and only heart-cooler that's left.

It's because the cost of making one heart-cooler...

is as expensive as making a whole new robot.

So we have to get that heart-cooler no matter what.

You really are the smartest and the most foolish guy...

I've ever known.

Sir, do you think we'll be able to get it?

I'll send an official request to the head office...

and ask them to give us an approval as fast as possible.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Sure.

Yes!

Da Da!

Da Da!

(Workroom)

Bo Won, what brings you here at this hour?

Da Da.

I think I found a way to save Young Gu.

What?

There's a component called the heart-cooler.

I think it'll help control the overheating symptom.

Manager Ko just sent an email to the head office.

We're waiting for their reply.

We'll be able to fix everything as long as we have that component.

I'm so relieved.

Sir, the head office just sent you their reply.

Okay, thanks.

Sir.

How did it go?

What's this?

They rejected our request?

What do you mean they rejected your request?

They refused to provide the heart-cooler for Zero Nine.

Why? Why can't they give it to him?

The biggest reason is because the head office...

suffered a great deal of damage because of Zero Nine.

It's not just that.

The head office isn't happy about all the accidents...

that recently occurred due to Zero Nine.

Plus, the heart-cooler can no longer be produced.

So I think they decided that it'll be best to just keep it.

It's not like we're asking them to make one for us.

Why are they refusing to send us something that's just sitting there?

The heart-cooler...

was never a part of Zero Nine.

So they have no reason to risk any damages by sending it to us.

This is a business, so they only care about profit.

Tell them to bring that heart-cooler or whatever it's called.

Wang Joon.

Didn't you hear me?

Tell them to bring that heart-cooler...

before Ma Wang Joon gets angry.

What? What do you mean?

Have you all forgotten already?

Did you forget what Zero Ten...

looked like?

He looked exactly like me.

You know who I am, right?

I'm Ma Wang Joon.

My portrait rights cost a lot, you know.

Does it really cost a lot?

Yes.

Let's see.

And from what I heard,

your company's number one priority is confidentiality.

Then what do you think would happen to you guys...

if I tell this to the press...

and cause a huge issue?

You said your company is all about doing business, right?

So let me explain this in a way that could affect the business.

Tell the head office to bring that heart-cooler before I cause...

an issue by sending a certification of contents to them.

And let them know that this is a threat, not a business deal.

Okay, Mr. Ma.

That will be enough to get the head office to cooperate.

- Bo Won. - Yes?

- Can you help me with this? - Of course, sir.

Thank you.

You don't need to thank me. I didn't do it to help you.

I just...

threw a fit because I hate Kronos Heaven...

for making those darn robots.

Da Da.

So please stop crying.

- I'm sorry. - Stop saying that as well.

I don't even know why I'm doing this either.

I'm the biggest fool ever.

Right?

Da Da! Da Da!

They just approved.

- Really? - Yes.

An employee from the head office will be arriving at 10am tomorrow...

at Incheon International Airport to give it to us.

I'm so relieved.

I'd love to go and get it myself.

But I'm not working for the company right now.

Manager Ko will be getting it himself.

We should take Young Gu to the lab and have him prepared.

Okay, thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

What? A heart-cooler?

Yes, someone from the head office is coming to Incheon Airport...

at 10am tomorrow to give it to them.

Even the head office is getting involved...

to save a robot?

I can't just sit back and do nothing.

I really hate happy endings.

I want you to bring it.

What?

Me?

Your company is a secret organization.

So they'll never give that component to unauthorized personnel.

And it'll be no fun to just take it...

from them by force.

I want you to snatch it from them and bring it to me.

That'll be the most interesting way to handle this.

- I can't do this. - What?

I don't think I can keep doing this.

Manager Ko has started to become suspicious of me.

And I feel uneasy about coming here so frequently.

On top of that, it stings my conscience to see...

Bo Won being so sad all the time.

I'm going to quit now.

Plus, if I snatch the component, everyone will know that it was me.

So it'll be a matter of time before I get fired.

Will you take responsibility if that happens?

Responsibility?

So that's what you want?

How do you want me to take responsibility?

- Money? How much do you want? - What?

Do you think I'd do anything for money?

Of course.

That's why you sold out your friend. Stop acting so innocent.

Don't even bother trying to bribe me.

Are you sure about that?

I know how desperate you are for money.

No, I'm not.

Wait a minute.

Did you guys do a background check on me?

Of course.

Why would I trust you?

But...

I do trust your weakness.

Now, I finally understand...

why there's no one by your side...

and why everyone always ends up leaving you.

Forget it. I don't need your money.

I'd rather struggle a little than live the rest of my life...

working for you like a slave.

(Congratulations on our 7th year anniversary.)

(Congratulations on our 7th year anniversary.)

[VIU Ver] SBS E34 'My Absolute Boyfriend' "The Heart Cooler" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Bo Won told me...

that you helped Young Gu get the component.

You're really amazing.

I'm nothing near amazing.

I still don't want their relationship to work out.

When I heard that something was wrong with him,

I actually felt happy.

I think I'm a really bad guy.

To be honest,

I don't want him to wake up.

But if he doesn't wake up,

it'll break Da Da's heart.

And the one thing I hate the most is seeing her cry.

So I kind of want him to wake up at the same time.

I sound crazy, don't I?

No.

I totally understand how you feel.

Come here, my brother.

What are you doing?

Get away from me. You're being gross.

- Come here. - My gosh.

Okay, fine.

Da Da, come this way.

So I guess this is...

where you were born, Young Gu.

If we get married, will this place become my in-laws?

That was a joke.

I wonder if that made you laugh.

My boyfriend.

Sleep tight.

And sweet dreams.

I really miss hearing you...

call me...

"Girlfriend".

I want you to give me a hug the moment you wake up.

Okay?

I love you.

This is Ko Ji Seok.

I'm almost there. Wait a second.

Mr. Ko?

How much are you going to pay me?

I'm Hwang In Hyuk from Kronos Heaven Korea.

Our head director, Mr. Ko, ordered me...

to pick up the heart-cooler from you.

He told me that he's coming himself in person to pick up the package.

Oh, Mr. Ko is waiting outside.

He asked me to take it.

- Can you show me some ID? - Sure.

Here you go.

Thank you.

I just got here. Where are you?

What are you talking about? I already handed it to your staff.

You what?

I don't know what you mean.

A member of the Korean branch staff...

just came to me and said you were waiting outside.

Hwang In Hyuk!

Oh my gosh... Stop right there!

- Please start the car. - Did you call with the app?

- Yes, so please go. - Is your number 3371?

Yes! Just go!

Hey! Hwang In Hyuk!

Hwang In Hyuk!

Da Da.

Young Gu will wake up in minutes when the heart-cooler arrives.

Okay.

It's Manager Ko.

Yes, sir. We're waiting for...

What do you mean?

Is this the heart-cooler?

So this is their last hope?

You have to keep your promise.

All right.

What?

Why would Hwang In Hyuk take that?

He must have been abetted by Diana.

Diana?

Let's meet up at her house.

But...

That Diana...

Eom Da Da!

You're pretty.

What should I do with you?

Let go of me.

I must go in there.

I must go.

You're making us get in trouble.

Come out here!

What is this?

Call out that girl immediately.

Tell her to come out immediately.

Hello. It's been a while.

What are you doing here?

Are you here for this?

What do you think? Isn't it pretty?

I like pretty things like this.

Just looking at it makes people want it.

Hand over that heart-cooler immediately.

Young Gu needs that.

It's something really important.

That's right.

That's why I have this.

What is it that you want?

I'll do anything.

I'm not sure.

I think I already have what I want.

Just lash out your anger on me instead.

Young Gu did nothing wrong.

I kissed him in the first place,

and I stole him from you in the beginning.

So your anger should be toward me.

That's why I'm doing this right now.

Watch carefully now.

Watch how the scrap metal you loved so dearly...

gets broken...

and falls apart.

Diana.

Please return the heart-cooler.

What do you think you're doing?

Da Da.

Please.

Please return it.

Please.

That's cool.

Is this the love...

that scrap metal talked about?

I feel touched.

Then I should give you a prize.

(My Absolute Boyfriend)

- What prize do you want to get? - Time?

Time? What do you mean by that?

The time I have left until the meltdown is exactly a month.

Staying together only during good times isn't love.

Love is about sharing the pain as well.

I love you.

It'll be best not to take him back to Eom Da Da.

His lifespan depends on your choice.

The most important thing to you is saving Young Gu.

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

This is all your fault.

If you're going to disappear because of that darn meltdown,

just get lost as soon as possible.

Then Da Da won't have to suffer as much.

I'm going to continue to stay by your side...

even if there's a fire or a storm.

I'm going to stick right by your side.
