(This is a work of fiction. All names, characters, )

(All child actors were accompanied by a guardian, )

(and filmed in accordance with labour laws.)

He gets caught in a NASA conspiracy and sent to space, then abducted.

While they run their experiments, he finds out he's a vampire.

So the twist is, the aliens are actually us humans.

And through this ironic journey, he finds his true identity.

Director, it sounds really exciting already.

So, is this Min Hak's first role?

He was in a promotional web drama...

for the Culture and Tourism Ministry.

It was about a tiger at Gwanghwamun, and gatekeepers tried to catch it.

So he played one of the gatekeepers?

No, I was the...

thing the tiger was eating before it ran away.

The Mugwort Spirit from "Garlic and Mugwort."

We'll have Min Hak fully prepared by the time you're back in Korea.

Mugwort. Right. Mugwort's good.

Yes. I...

I'll do my best.

And I'm really sorry for flipping you the bird.

- It's okay. Everyone does it to me. - Really? Okay.

I'll be in touch soon.

- I think I'm going to puke. - It's okay. No need to be nervous.

But I didn't quite get it. What exactly is the movie about,

and what did he say my role was?

Who cares what the role is? A small part in a Bong movie...

is better than doing ten of those run-of-the-mill dramas.

Min Hak, our day has finally come.

Let's pull ourselves together and focus.

You know what I had to do to make this happen, right?

- You've worked so hard. - Exactly. So stay out of trouble.

That whole mess with your friend, the Quiz King, and flying dildos?

If that happens again, we're finished.

Big projects can't afford a scandal. You get it?

- You parked, right? - No.

You didn't? You asked for parking validation.

Parking?

- Is the car back from the shop? - Wow. Faster than expected.

We just dropped it off yesterday.

(LOVE.exe)

(Episode 12: Correction Period)

San!

- Drink some water. Here. - I'm fine.

You sure? Okay.

Thank you.

Hey, San hasn't eaten yet, so can you grab a lunch box for her?

A lunch box? I doubt any are left. We had lobster, so they went fast.

I saw a bunch left over earlier.

Alright, I'll take care of it. You just focus on the shoot.

Just a second.

Okay.

Alright, let's go again from Cut 13. Ready?

- Yes. - Can someone check my hair first?

- Why? Hae Na, your hair looks fine. - No, it's not.

This one strand is driving me crazy. This one right here.

What's bothering you? It looks so pretty.

- No, I hate it. - I know that's the whole point!

- Okay, look into each other's eyes. - Right.

Focus.

This summer, right here,

- how about a staycation? - How about a staycation?

Hae Na, try putting your arm around Min Hak's waist.

Perfect.

- You look like a real couple. - They'll think we're a real couple.

Would they now?

Okay, let's try the line again just like that.

One, two, three! This summer, right here,

- how about a staycation? - How about a staycation?

Who was that? Cut!

Come on, people, focus! Any idea how far behind we are?

If you don't belong here, get out!

Director, I just had another idea. I could put my arm on her shoulder.

Or wrap my arm around like this?

Min Hak, you're so focused today. Okay, hold on.

Let's get a touch-up on Hae Na's hair first.

Hey, Hae Na's hair!

Hair stylist!

Is there no one on hair?

Hair stylist!

This strand of hair on her cheek. Should I just move it back?

- There we go. - What?

- That's perfect now. Are you good? - To the side?

No, it's fine. Okay, Director, we're ready!

- This outfit's a problem, you know? - You're right.

If you wear this, we'll get calls about you wearing a rival brand.

And the behind-the-scenes camera is going to be on me all day.

Do we have a change of clothes in the car?

The thing is... You said you were taking the subway,

- so I brought the other car. - What car? We have another one?

It's just a little something I use as a backup when I'm rushed.

For the clothes, I'll borrow tape and try to cover the logo.

So is that why San is still waiting around here?

It's so crowded and dusty. I told you she should be in the car.

The car is tiny, so it's actually more uncomfortable.

Besides, she needs to see and experience this stuff.

Why are you so hung up on the "Quiz King" anyway?

It's not that, it's just...

Be honest with me. What's going on?

There's nothing between us. We're just friends. Friends.

- Friends? But she came this far? - She's just here for a project.

Don't give me that. It's an excuse. It's obvious she's here to see you.

Be careful. If she were a celebrity, at least she would be discreet.

If a normal girl gets the wrong idea,

things get messy fast.

I thought we agreed to be careful starting today.

- Hey. - You can't be in here, ma'am.

- Okay. - I'll have to ask you to leave.

So she's really "just a friend." I'll believe you for now.

Yes.

Okay, here's the plan.

Since she's here for a project, we'll shoot you studying on break.

Yes. That sounds good.

Times like this,

- he reminds me of Dad. - I'll try to carve out...

Dad's on Papatrot's Team Handsome. I've still got it.

You want to know my secret?

It's this new salmon ampoule with collagen, PDRN, all that stuff.

People say it works wonders.

Look at my skin. For a man,

it's all about the skin and the hair.

The reason Dad came to see me for the first time in ten years...

was so he could be on an audition show.

It's been a while, sir.

- Jae Hak! - Jae Hak.

Did you get your hair fibres all over his clothes?

It seems you were rubbing your head all over him.

It looks like some got on you. My bad.

You've been well, Jae Hak? Seeing you take care of Min Hak,

you two are like real brothers. It puts my mind at ease.

I never heard a peep from you, so I was curious how you were doing,

and I see you haven't changed a bit.

You're right. I've been neglectful.

How's your mom doing?

I lost touch after she remarried and moved to the States.

Sir, I really enjoyed you in "Hot-Blooded Youth."

That? It was just a cameo I did as a favour for Guk Jin.

You were pretending to be a bachelor back then,

and now you've become a "Papa" for this show.

This old guy...

Should I give you a hug too, Jae Hak?

Gosh, careful. You'll get hair fibres everywhere.

Ji Hoon, let's film your mission performance first.

We'll film the family chat later, separately, at a nearby cafe,

we'll aim for a cosy, warm vibe for that scene.

Wow, your son is really handsome.

I know, right? He takes after his old man.

- All right, the mission song first. - Yes, shall we?

Wait, where did I put that calming pill?

Excuse me, he got his clothes dirty, so do you have any spare...

Yes, do you have any extra clothes?

I was in the middle of talking, gosh.

Did you know it was going to be like this?

Not really. But it was a good opportunity.

(Papatrot: Shake Up the World)

For the Papatrot surprise fan meet, he's the one you've waited for.

Singing "Rosa," it's Kang Ji Hoon! Give him a huge round of applause!

(Kang Ji Hoon for number 1! Kang Ji Hoon Is The One!)

Thank you, everyone!

I love you all! Thank you!

Son! I'm going to give it my all.

So I can put our family back together!

Do you know the heart of a man?

How about a glass of whiskey?

The moment our glasses clink

Look me right in the eyes

Because I can already see

the hesitation in your gaze

Your dad's really something else. He has fans from the prelims.

- All together now! - Rosa! Rosa!

- I'm your one and only rose - Well, Dad is handsome.

Touch me carelessly and you'll be pricked by my thorns

If it's a passionate love you want

Then don't hesitate to hold me tight

- You're the best! We love you! - I love you! I love you all!

Son, keep watching me!

Who's that kid? A child actor?

Kang Ji Hoon's secret son.

He's been coasting on his looks, pretending to be single,

but that's starting to wear off.

He's had a son as cute as a button?

What I want to know about that guy, Kang Ji Hoon,

is what he was supposedly doing in the 90s.

What exactly is his claim to fame?

He was on that reenactment show, "Love and War."

All those memes of his bad acting from that show went viral.

Right. He never shuts up about that one story.

That he faced So Ji Sub and Won Bin in a jeans model audition's finals.

And if he hadn't had a stomachache, Song Seung Heon wouldn't've made it.

If you ask me, his son is the one with real star quality.

You think so? Once he gets used to the cameras?

No, but with looks like that, he's probably already a trainee.

You should learn to sing like that. You never know. You could be one.

Come on, you know I'm tone-deaf.

Come on, your dad was even worse. He made Papatrot's top 24, right?

- You can learn. You need to try. - Even my teachers gave up on me.

- They said I have two left feet. - Wait, you went to an academy?

Then maybe you should try acting.

I take after my dad. My acting is totally wooden.

Sports, then?

My PE teacher told me I'd never make a living in sports.

Thank you.

- Ji Hoon! - Thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - Let's go.

Excuse me, could I get a picture? I lent you the clothes, after all.

I have an online shop as a side hustle.

Of course! I'll get to everyone. Just a moment, hold on, one second.

Okay, one at a time. I'll get to all of you.

Wasn't that the day your career as a model was sealed?

Your friend the Quiz King can say, "Min Hak is a dedicated student."

"No, he's actually very smart." If he just drops lines like that...

Seriously, what are you even talking about?

I won't ask San for that favour. I'm going to work on my assignment.

Exactly! We'll film you working. That's the idea.

What?

My clothes.

I should avoid the behind-the-scenes shoot.

Director, thanks for all your hard work.

Min Hak, great work today.

Not at all. Today went smoothly, right?

Was there something you wanted to talk about?

- You made it. - Have you been waiting long?

Jae Hak!

- Yes? What's up, Min Hak? - Well...

Have you seen San?

She disappeared suddenly and isn't answering her phone.

- She said she had to go, it's late. - Without even telling me?

She figured she'd be a third wheel if she stuck around.

She just came up to me quietly and told me she was heading out.

Anyway, your flight is at 7am, so go home and pack your stuff.

I've still got some work to do. Want me to call you a cab?

- One of the deluxe ones. - San likely missed her train.

By the way, what's with this car?

What?

Wow, what is this? This is sick. Is this yours?

- What? No. I can't afford this. - No, but this car...

- Gosh... - So this is your car?

What are you talking about? You called out, so when I stopped,

this is just where I happened to be.

Is this supposed to be a nice car?

I just don't really know about this kind of stuff.

Oh my. So Kang Min Hak's your brother.

I totally thought you were kidding.

And you are?

What? Jae Hak, what's your deal right now?

Oh? Hyun Joo.

Right, Hyun Joo.

- What? - Is this a hidden camera thing?

Are you trying to pull a prank on me or something?

Ta-da! Just a little gag.

Min Hak, say hi. This is Hyun Joo.

I'm trying to land a deal with them, and she's their head of marketing.

- Why are you so dressed up? - What are you talking about?

Hey, Hyun Joo, living it up? Wow, this thing.

Jae Hak! The lobster lunch was great, and then...

- I spilled sauce in the car. - What?

Eating in a fancy car or not... It's up to the owner, Hyun Joo.

Scrubbing it like that with a napkin will just make the stain spread.

Jae Hak.

Knock it off.

Okay, fine, Min Hak.

But, it's a lease. I got a really good deal on it.

Wait. Right. Here.

Don't you go anywhere.

What?

Where on earth did she go? She's not answering her phone.

Joo Yeon San!

San, you can't just leave without a word.

I feel like I shouldn't have come in the first place.

What?

Sorry, I was in a rush.

- Hold on. - What?

- Min Hak, what's up? Need a ride? - Get out.

- What? - I said, hurry up and get out.

What is it? What's going on?

- You have your wallet? - Of course. Need money for a cab?

You're the one who's going to need it.

Hey.

Min Hak.

- Sorry, but could you get out? - Excuse me? Why?

But it's cold out.

And it looks like it's about to rain.

Min Hak seems really different from how he was on the show.

I can explain what's going on. Let me explain everything, okay?

Hey! No, you can't do this. I just got this car.

Hey, besides, you haven't driven in ages.

Hey, just let me drive, okay?

See you at the airport tomorrow.

Min Hak. Hey, just get out first.

- I'll give you a ride. - Buckle up.

You'll get in so much trouble! Hey!

Min Hak, I'm sorry. Okay?

Oh great, and now it's starting to rain.

This extreme weather is something else.

It was just pouring a minute ago.

I can get an express bus from here, so you can just drop me off.

No, it's fine. I'll take you home.

You came all this way here for me, after all.

I had other things to take care of here anyway.

I feel like I've been such a bother today.

Asking you to work on the project out of the blue,

and showing up at the film set...

And you're leaving the country tomorrow,

but you're still going out of your way.

Don't worry about it.

You know, about the other day...

I'm just bringing this up in case you were worried.

Even though that happened between us,

I'm not getting the wrong idea about our relationship or anything.

And if you're regretting it, you don't need to.

I mean, it was consensual.

We could just roll everything back to the way it was before.

Hey, San...

- Yes? - This is the first time...

I've driven in the entire year since I got my license.

So, I literally can't process a word you're saying right now.

Then why did you insist on driving me?

- Hey, I have to take this exit! - Now?

- Yes, now! - How?

- What? - What?

Wait, do you have a license?

- Yes. - But we can't switch seats now.

What? What are you talking about?

- First, put on the hazards. - You do it.

What?

- Right there. - Which one? This?

There.

- Let me in, just let me in. - Please.

Come on, please, just let me in.

Please.

Okay!

Just focus on the guys' romance. Why is the boring friend butting in?

What's the big deal about her screen time?

He shouldn't have led her on in the first place.

What have you been up to all day?

Hey, why didn't you show up?

You should've come. It was epic.

There were so many cute guys and it was a blast.

Totally.

Yes.

Hey.

You must be exhausted.

- Thanks for the ride. - Are you kidding? You had it worse.

Yes.

Bye then.

You head on up. I think I'll get a driver from here.

Yes, that's probably for the best.

- All right, then. - Okay, bye.

- The standee. - What?

I still have your standee at my place.

Oh, right. It's still at your place. I totally forgot about it.

Want to take it with you now?

What is your deal?

Being all nice to someone you don't even like,

flirting with them, and then kissing them.

- Me? - Yes! You kissed me.

Na Rae, keep it down. The whole neighbourhood can hear you.

Yes, the whole neighbourhood can hear you.

Do you know what time it is? The walls are paper-thin, you know?

Actually, this is entertaining. Make a livestream about it.

Keep it down!

Sorry for the noise this late. But I'd like to clear something up.

Explanation? Are you a politician? What is "an explanation?"

I'm not like that with just anyone. I did it because I like you.

- He says he likes her. - This plot twist is insane.

If you're going to do that, talk about it in person!

Are you seriously going to keep messing with me?

I'm not messing with you. I'm serious. I like men,

and, well, I like women too.

Quiet down. A lot of our schoolmates live here.

What are you going to do if this ends up on Everytime?

So what? I was open about it back home,

and I never hid my orientation, not even when I played sports.

That's just who I am.

- It's already on Everytime. - So what's the ratio?

How much do you like women versus men?

If we're going by experience, men make up about...

- 90? - Too much detail.

The odds are against her.

- You have no chance. - I guess not.

Even if I'm an engineering major in name only,

but I know bad odds when I see them.

- What? It's over? - That ended faster than I thought.

- Let's get some sleep. - I just ordered chicken.

The fire's gone out between them.

I must have been crazy. That's it. I'm swearing off men.

Please go. It's over now, and we'll be really quiet.

I'm coming. I said I was sorry...

You have to let me finish.

It's 90 percent men.

But...

Yang Na Rae is the ten percent that beats the 90.

The lower the odds,

the better it feels when it pays off, you know?

Thanks. I asked a lot of you, didn't I?

(Smooth Taste, Like Dew)

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

About us kissing.

Was it definitely a mistake?

Do you regret it?

No...

What do you mean by that?

Seeing you on set today, you seemed like a different person.

I'm just a normal college student,

but you're surrounded by all these cool people.

So I get why you'd want to keep your distance from me around others.

And that got me thinking...

that maybe you're just a nice guy who can't say no,

and I was just reading too much into things.

Misreading your insistence on taking me home so late,

even though you can't drive.

You think I wanted to keep my distance from you?

Yes, like on set today.

Right, the set.

To be honest, Jae Hak keeps suspecting something's up with us.

About us?

Right. I mean, it's not like there's an "us" yet.

Anyway, if he thought that, I was afraid he would say...

something weird or hassle you, so I couldn't bring myself to talk.

But...

I wanted to talk to you the whole time.

And this outfit...

It's from a rival brand of the clothing line I endorse,

so it would be bad if I got photographed wearing it.

But the behind-the-scenes camera was always right next to you, so...

And, San...

out of everyone I know,

you're the least ordinary person.

But even at school today...

Honestly, when I saw you at school, I just didn't know how to act.

We can't have bad rumours starting about you again because of me.

Why are you smiling?

I don't know. I just can't help but smile.

No, it's just...

I'm surprised that you'd worry about something like that.

You don't seem like the type at all.

You know what computer engineering majors are like?

What?

When it comes to important things,

we plan for every single what-if scenario.

What if we pull an all-nighter and the power goes out while compiling?

What if all our code gets wiped?

What if we all use the same branch and mess up the commit history?

What if the server crashes right before submission?

What if I missed a requirement on a group project?

Or someone uses another language?

It ran fine on my machine, but what if it fails for the TA?

- That must be exhausting. - And those...

are the kinds of "what ifs" I'm thinking about right now.

Like what?

What if you...

say that our kiss was a mistake?

What if you say you were tired and don't remember?

Or just...

that it didn't mean anything?

Most of all,

what if all these worries...

are just proof that this is all in my head?

What if we can't even be friends after this?

But what if we end up just as friends?

So if I do something rash...

and just make things awkward for our group...

What if you're just some player who goes around kissing any girl?

Okay, stop.

- What? - My hair. It's caught.

Wait. I'll get it. Hold on, let me get it.

- Gosh, it hurts. - I know. I think I have to cut it.

- I'll go get scissors and cut it. - Okay. Cut it. Just cut it.

Gosh.

Scissors.

So get this, the guy got off right there.

No, I mean, that's why the smell was gone.

See? So it had to be him. That guy.

Isn't that hilarious?

Kang Dong Won.

What? Right. Hilarious. So what did you say then?

Hey, you were totally zoned out.

No, I was listening.

Liar.

I'm not.

Are you really going to drink more?

Just tell me.

What were you thinking about?

You were judging me, right? "Lee Soo Min is overdoing it again."

- No, I wasn't. - Then...

were you thinking I'm just rambling about myself again?

I said no!

Then what was it?

Someone else.

I was thinking about someone else.

Another woman.

Hey!

Let's break up.

It came out on its own.

San, the thing is...

Look, I'm sorry, but I really have to go now.

I've got an early start tomorrow.

Right. Okay.

I'll call you later.

Okay.

(One week later)

- This is beyond ridiculous. Right? - What?

Do I have to watch this garbage? What is this?

You're saying, to create an ideal quantum computer,

you must cool it to absolute zero, negative 273 degrees?

That's right. We need to reduce heat fluctuations.

The reason Hangang Group, a refrigerator company...

can partner with top universities like Carnegie Mellon...

It is because they have that kind of cooling technology.

You're a very quick study.

Is that maybe why a genius like you, instead of going to SNU or KAIST,

deliberately chose to come to Hangang University?

I was betting on this new school's potential,

but now I'm considering a transfer, so I guess I'm in a superposition.

Just like your heart right now, Sae Byeok.

I'm sorry. I'm still not over Hun Gyu.

Hun Gyu may be tall and handsome,

but he was just a loser who left hate comments everywhere.

Processing data in superposition, where zero and one coexist,

is a concept I'm very familiar with.

That way you talk, like a science YouTuber...

It's really sexy, right?

A Modelling Major who brings up Quantum Mechanics...

Talk about sexy, Sae Byeok.

Ban Ji No, I always thought he'd end up on a dating show...

and become the guy the entire country loves to hate.

You have your heads in the clouds, ignoring what's going on at school.

- Set up a group blind date for us. - A group blind date? Seriously?

Are we just going to take this? Should I set you up with a guy...

or a girl?

The local queer scene is tiny. A blind date?

The moment Lee Soo Min hears about this,

it'll be a disaster all over again. She'd be here in a heartbeat.

I'm done with the backend.

- Link it to the frontend. - Already? You finished the backend?

Yes, check GitHub.

But why have you been going so hard lately?

It's a little weird.

- What? What's weird? - She can be like this sometimes.

But this feels different, like she's weirdly overexcited.

Earlier at the diner, you were eating...

and going way over the top like, "Wow, this is so delicious!"

You suddenly start humming while you code?

That part creeped me out a little too.

What? I was just having fun. Coding is a blast.

See? Right there. She's totally forcing it.

Now that Kang Dong Won mentions it, her vibe is a bit extra.

You know when she started acting like this?

It was about ten days ago?

The day Kang Min Hak came and apologised to us.

Saying that for some reason, he couldn't attend meetings anymore.

Wait, you don't think?

San, was Kang Min Hak really bugging you that much?

That's why you're in a good mood now that he's gone?

No, it's not necessarily that.

After the dildo Issue,

I thought what doesn't kill me makes me strong,

but I guess you two had some serious conflict behind our backs?

- No, that's not it. - What?

Maybe it's the opposite.

The opposite?

Don't tell me you and Kang Min Hak...

What? What are you trying to say?

Never mind.

Come on, what is it?

Did you have a crush on Kang Min Hak?

That's hilarious, Na Rae.

This minute might be the funniest of my entire college life.

Having Kang Min Hak on the team is a win for us, right?

That's why you recruited him in the first place, San.

He showed up and worked hard on the project,

even after he said he was too busy to make the meetings for a while,

he's been sending us gift cards to make up for it.

But you keep changing the subject whenever we talk about Kang Min Hak.

And you keep ignoring his messages in the group chat.

It's nothing to get upset about, so if you are that upset...

What? You're denying it so hard, it must be true.

You've got to be kidding me.

Just be honest with us.

Like him? We'll be your wing women. So, should we set something up?

What's so great about Kang Min Hak anyway?

You know, you're really pretty. I had a girl crush on you at first.

What am I even saying?

Get real. It's not like that.

- Really? - Yes.

- Really? - Yes.

Then if we have a group blind date, will you come?

- Sure. - What?

Group blind dates are a bit much,

I'd be fine with a one-on-one, though.

- Seriously? - Seriously?
