Original subtitles

I've really wanted to try this.

Is that right?

I swear it's delicious. What's "delicious" in Japanese again?

- Oishi. - "Oishi."

Delicious, isn't it?

I told you.

Hiro, come on!

Cha Mu-hee is doing great.

Despite all his grumbling, she's trying to see the best in him.

You're right.

She giggles at whatever Hiro says.

Nothing he's saying strikes me as particularly funny.

If that's her playing to the cameras, Cha Mu-hee is a brilliant actress.

Was the hot dog that good?

I've worked with you for over five years,

but today's the first time I've seen you polish off junk food.

I know, right?

I downed that whole mountain of calories.

I was just copying her "delicious," but ended up finishing the whole thing.

If you enjoy the food, the calories don't count.

Just look at it that way.

That woman's a bit strange, you know. She's always smiling.

Even when I act cold and distant, she keeps smiling.

God knows what's so amusing.

And she gives me stuff like this.

She's up to something.

You reckon?

It looked like she was genuinely enjoying herself.

Genuinely enjoying herself?

- With me? - Yes.

It looked like she was on a date with a guy she likes.

In moments like that,

there's something different about a woman's smile.

I guess you could say it glows.

She was glowing?

Because of me?

Four-leaf clover?

Won't her legs fall asleep like that?

Yes, she found one.

She's so happy.

So how was today?

You seemed to be in a good mood during your date.

I had such a good time.

We ate delicious food and took some silly photos.

My favorite moment was seeing the sunset on the hill.

It's getting pretty chilly.

Aren't you cold?

I'm pretty good at braving the cold and the heat.

I'm not cold at all right now.

I've never really liked sunsets because they make me feel a little sad.

But today, I like it. It's beautiful.

What's different about today?

I guess being alone made me feel lonely.

Maybe I like it now because we're together.

Out of all the sunsets I've ever seen,

I think today's is the most beautiful.

Then I guess you'll remember this moment forever.

CAN THIS LOVE BE TRANSLATED?

Going forward,

will Producer Park conduct our interviews instead of Producer Kim?

Producer Kim isn't here.

He took a flight back to Korea.

Sorry?

He flew back due to a family emergency.

Is it something serious?

Not at all.

It's personal, so I won't go into detail, but it's nothing to worry about.

But the rest of the crew doesn't know.

They're rushing to find and send over a new producer,

so let's keep this between us until they get here.

So we won't be filming until the new producer gets here?

Yes, tomorrow's shoot is canceled.

Wait, then what about seeing the Northern Lights?

That won't be canceled, will it?

The Northern Lights are the highlight of our Canada shoot, so of course not!

Right? We came here to see the lights.

- Of course! - Right.

There's no guarantee we'll see them.

At this time of year, the probability is about 60%.

With tomorrow canceled, the Northern Lights shoot is only one day,

so our odds have halved.

We'll barely get a glimpse if we're lucky.

- Barely? - Yes.

No, come on. Luck will be on our side.

We'll get to see the lights. Come on.

- What? - Way to stay positive.

What now?

I'd say 30% is still decent.

With the Northern Lights, it could go either way.

Best to just leave it to fate.

But he said it's barely likely. I really wanted to see them together.

Get some rest since there's no shoot tomorrow.

What are you talking about?

Since there's no shoot tomorrow, we should drink up.

Bring me some of your soju and ramyeon.

Why pair soju with instant noodles? I have a lot of good food in my room.

Come on. Let's drink in my room.

But drinking in that room…

Sure, why not?

Wait! Let me change into something more comfortable.

I'm just going over to drink soju.

It's not like I'm going for a run.

Does this look like I'm going clubbing?

How come I have nothing to wear?

Come in.

The soju is in the fridge.

Okay.

Why don't you ask Mr. Joo Ho-jin to join us?

Is he in his room?

Mr. Joo's not here.

He's not?

He went to a bookstore he'd been meaning to check out.

It amazes me that he's read all those books,

and it astonishes me that he went out to buy more.

That's how Mr. Joo Ho-jin is.

He even reads tourist pamphlets in different languages.

How should I cook the squid?

Let's go with medium rare.

KIM YOUNG-HWAN

Congratulations.

Your book seems to be a bestseller here in Canada too.

I guess you'll be rich.

I heard this is a must-try in Canada.

I really wanted to try these hot dogs.

It really is good.

So his eyesight isn't that bad.

This one's in Korean.

Are you a fun read?

You're back, Mr. Joo Ho-jin.

Yes.

I had a few drinks with Yong-u since we're not shooting tomorrow.

We cleaned up after ourselves.

He goes out like a light when he's drunk.

Just leave him be.

Well then,

I'll get back

to my room.

Good night.

Those were definitely my glasses.

Why was he staring at me so intently?

Was he sorry to see me go?

Then why not invite me to stay and have another drink or something?

Seriously.

- Ms. Cha? - Idiot.

Yes?

You left your cell phone.

Right, thank you.

And please leave my glasses.

Oh dear, sorry about that.

I was so absorbed in that book that I left wearing them.

I borrowed them because I have bad eyesight.

They're the perfect prescription. I didn't even realize I had them on.

They're just protective glasses.

I see. So you have good eyesight.

They look a bit bent.

If you liked it, I can lend you that book.

I guess it would be

less embarrassing to say I'll borrow it, wouldn't it?

Sure, lend it to me.

Wait here. I'll get it for you.

My key card.

I don't think I brought it with me.

The concierge isn't in right now.

Yong-u isn't waking up either. He's always been like this.

I'll find a way inside. You should go and sleep.

You're going to stay out here?

There's a couch down the hallway.

That guy. I'm sure he'll wake up if I wait for an hour or two.

Okay, I'll keep calling him too.

My key.

I left mine inside too.

Don't even joke about that. It's not funny.

Seriously.

You're going to stay here? Won't you be cold?

I'll be okay.

You should go to Ms. Cho's room.

I'll be going, then.

I think I'd better stick around here too.

Yong-u will be up in an hour or two, and I'd feel bad waking Ms. Cho.

If I'm honest, I wasn't reading that novel.

What's it about?

It's a mystery novel, and I hear it'll be adapted into a movie.

Sounds like a super fun read!

Yes, it's pretty good.

A murder took place, but it turns out there's no murderer.

Why would you spoil the ending? That's bad manners.

Will you read it?

Keep going.

It's set in a peaceful, crime-free rural village.

An ordinary young man commits a petty crime,

which leads to him being ostracized by everyone else in the village.

One day, he's beaten to death by the widow who lives next door.

They need to find out her motive, so they examine each of the villagers…

Suddenly!

- Then… - I didn't even flinch.

Really? So you just pretended to be startled?

- You're lying. - I swear.

I bet you just made that up.

You're awake.

I must have dozed off.

What about Yong-u? Is he awake?

Did you drop by your room?

Not yet.

- I'll go try waking him up. - Shall we go to the farmers market?

I thought I'd go. Do you want to come with me?

I do. Let's go together.

Mr. Joo, carrots.

What did that lady say earlier?

In the West, walking under a ladder is taboo.

They believe it's bad luck.

Really? I had no idea. What should I do?

Maybe I should sprinkle some salt. I believe in that stuff, you know.

Yeah, I thought you might. I saw you looking for four-leaf clovers.

You did?

I'm collecting them so I can see the Northern Lights.

They say one needs luck to be able to see them.

So four-leaf clovers for luck, and I need a lucky seven of them.

My goal is to find seven.

But I've only found five so far.

If I can't find seven, we might not see them.

Okay, so if we don't get to see the Northern Lights, it's all your fault.

Do you really have to be so harsh?

Why? You were beating yourself up, blaming yourself for everything.

I simply agreed.

In moments like this, you should empathize, not agree.

Comfort me by saying, "No, why would that be your fault?"

Or say, "I'm sure you'll find the remaining two."

Some words of encouragement.

An aurora happens

when charged particles from space collide with the Earth's atmosphere

and lights up the sky.

It does not correlate with four-leaf clovers whatsoever.

That's me comforting you.

And

good luck finding two more.

There's some encouragement.

I get it. You don't believe in this stuff, do you?

I figured as much.

Strictly speaking,

I'd say I don't waste energy worrying about what might happen.

It's only natural to feel anxious when things might not work out.

Still, though,

you go in with an inkling of hope that they just might.

Is that not your mindset when you start something, Mr. Joo?

What I mean is…

I'm going to find all seven and show you the Northern Lights,

so have faith and look forward to it.

Sure, I'll look forward to it.

KIM YOUNG-HWAN

For real? If you're just saying that, I'll be hurt.

This deadline is killing me.

Send me a pic or something.

This is why he should've started writing sooner.

What is it?

Turns out, even a literary giant eyeing the Nobel Prize in Literature

needs a little comfort and encouragement.

Five minutes, huh?

Head to the car with your things. I'll be right behind you.

He said he'd be quick.

Why isn't he coming?

Yes, hello?

I was lost, but I know where I am now.

Two more blocks and…

Are you lost again?

You locked yourself out, and you're bad with directions.

You can be a bit of an airhead sometimes.

Well, given the situation I'm in now, I can't exactly deny that.

What do you see around you?

I'm near Calgary Tower.

Then wait by the tower, and don't you fear.

I'll come find you, kid.

"Kid"?

Oh, it's this way.

Joo Ho-jin!

So it really is you.

Shin Ji-sun?

I saw you and followed, thinking, "No way it's you."

What are the odds of meeting you here?

I'm a little shocked. What are you doing here?

I came to help in Jeong-su's absence.

I just landed.

So you're the producer replacing him?

Yeah.

This is perfect. Did you drive here? I need to go meet with Ms. Cho.

Yeah.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee!

Hello, Ms. Cha Mu-hee. I'm Shin Ji-sun, the new producer.

Hello, I'm Cha Mu-hee.

Glad to be working with you.

They've confirmed a new producer.

She's a well-known producer in Korea with several hit shows,

and she coproduced the Korean season of Romantic Trip.

A female producer named Shin Ji-sun.

And the shoot? Are we starting right away?

Shooting starts tomorrow, which means you have today off.

I'd better work out all day, then hit the sauna.

I got fat from nibbling alongside that zombie.

It is true that you gain weight very easily.

Tell her you don't eat much because you're afraid of gaining weight.

I don't want to reveal my weakness to that zombie.

By the way,

did it really seem that way to you, Nanami?

It doesn't look like you've gained much, no.

- I'm talking about Cha Mu-hee. - Cha Mu-hee?

Did my comment about her liking you bother you?

No, it's not that. I'm just worried.

I think I'd better keep my distance and treat her with more indifference.

Yes, for her sake.

The cold hit me as soon as I left the airport.

I stopped the taxi to buy some warmer clothes

when I happened to spot you.

What are the chances?

It gets pretty cold at night. Let me know if I can get you anything.

I had to pack and fly over in a hurry, so I'm missing a lot of things.

I'm so glad you're here, Ho-jin.

What were you two doing there so early in the morning?

We were just buying some groceries.

Groceries?

You're buying groceries and cooking while you're here?

Joo Ho-jin. As picky and diligent as always.

Then, Mu-hee, you must've tried Ho-jin's cooking.

Good, isn't it?

I wouldn't know.

I've never tried it.

Ask him to cook for you sometime.

He's a great cook.

All this food talk is making me hungry. How long until we get to the hotel?

About 30 minutes.

Should we stop at a restaurant nearby?

It's fine. I'll eat once we get there.

Walking under that ladder

really was bad luck.

You must be pretty bummed. You were having such a great time too.

What a pity.

You even lied to spend time with the person you liked.

In your pocket.

Our room key.

You should ask her what you're dying to know.

Why are you here and not preparing for your wedding?

Hey, lady, what are you doing here?

What about your wedding?

The wedding. Your wedding!

What about your wedding?

Sorry?

I heard your wedding is next week, so how come you're here in Canada?

Right, about that.

They urgently needed someone here, and I was the only one available,

so I came for now.

I was told that Hiro is staying at a hotel downtown.

This is good. I can go say hello now.

I called my manager, so he'll be here shortly.

You two go on ahead. You have work to do.

We should've dropped you off first.

Sorry about that. We'll see you back at the hotel.

Ho-jin, let's go.

Hey.

You should take this.

You can keep it on. I'm fine.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

You ran away, and she followed you here.

Did you really not know she was coming?

I didn't know.

I don't want to wear it. Go.

Think he really didn't know?

He said he didn't.

His "I didn't know" wasn't followed by any comfort or encouragement.

Just goes to show you're nothing to him.

Has the work been fun so far? How have the shoots been?

Your wedding is next week. Is it really okay for you to be here?

Is everything prepared?

What's there for us to prepare?

All that's left to do is the ceremony.

What did Jin-suk say?

He didn't have any complaints about you coming here?

You know Jin-suk.

He goes along with whatever I say.

Why would he complain?

Let's just get it over and done with.

If we don't tie the knot right now, I don't think I'll ever want to.

Why do you… want to get married?

Why?

You said you wanted to.

Forget it. Just thinking about work is enough to give me a headache.

In any case, I guess we're colleagues now.

I look forward to working with you, Mr. Joo.

Nanami, who works with Hiro, speaks decent Korean.

If there are any issues, you can address them with her first.

Sure.

Let's head up.

Ms. Cho, I'm at the hotel.

Just one to go now.

It's the zombie.

What are you doing here?

Everyone's up there waiting to see you.

What are you doing here? Why'd you come here?

Meeting. Your meeting.

There are people there waiting.

Now waiting.

Meeting? You came to meet me?

You were waiting for me?

What's he saying? I can't understand a word.

Look.

We're colleagues who only meet for work.

You can't crash my day off like this.

That's too much.

He seems like he's in a really bad mood.

I'm not in a good mood today either,

so just go.

You know how we're going to see the lights tomorrow?

They say in order to see them…

you need luck.

So I worked really hard to collect these.

I really wanted to see the Northern Lights

with the guy I like.

But…

the woman he likes is here now.

If I collect all this good luck and the aurora appears…

I bet he'll go see it with the woman he likes.

So now, I hope…

the aurora isn't visible.

It's really important for our shoot…

but I'm praying it'll be ruined.

Sorry.

I'd better go now.

Thanks for listening to me.

Arigato.

I have absolutely no clue.

What could she be so sad about?

Hello, I'm Shin Ji-sun, here to fill in for Jeong-su.

Glad to be working with you all.

Shin Ji-sun!

Okay, everyone. Our most important shoot with the Northern Lights is tomorrow.

According to the forecast, the weather will be excellent,

and it will be this year's strongest aurora.

Let's all see the Northern Lights together tomorrow!

Northern Lights!

- Let's go! - Northern Lights!

Northern Lights!

Northern Lights!

Cheers!

What's Hiro doing? Why didn't you come together?

Right about now, he's probably doing his evening workout.

Aurora.

Clover.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

It's really bothering me.

Aurora.

Clover.

I'm sorry.

Ho-jin, have some meat.

- Eat up, Mr. Joo. - Sure.

Thank you.

By the way,

I heard that Producer Shin is marrying your older brother.

That makes her… your sister-in-law, right?

Ho-jin and I go way back, so we just call each other by name.

Did you say you were having a small wedding in Jeju?

Then, to get to Korea and fly out to Jeju,

you'd have to be back at least two days before the wedding.

So once Ji-sun leaves, who will replace her?

I'll be here for the entire Canada shoot.

It's literally a small wedding.

It'll just be our families there, so we can push it back a week or two.

Oh, you're pushing it back?

Well, that's perfect!

If the wedding happens when we're back in Korea,

then we could all attend.

And the groom's brother can attend.

How perfect is that?

Wait, so you're delaying your wedding to fill in for another producer?

Ji-sun, you sure are ambitious.

How can you possibly like one person for so long?

That's incredible, in a sense.

You once asked if I was in some passionate romance movie.

But my romance isn't passionate. It's more terrifying.

If I had to pick a genre, it'd be horror.

Horror?

The same genre you'd find Do Ra-mi in?

I think, "It's over at last."

"It's finally dead," only to find it's still alive.

I run away, thinking, "I really want to be done with it," but it keeps chasing me.

Like a zombie that keeps coming for you, no matter how many times you kill it.

I keep telling myself, "I need to end this,"

but I just can't.

That does sound

pretty scary.

It sure is scary.

I hope that this time, I can get away once and for all

and not get caught.

Why, that Na Jin-suk! Can you believe that punk?

After giving it much thought, I agreed to officiate,

only for him to send me a single text saying the ceremony had been postponed.

Sorry, Mr. Kim.

And you still haven't heard from him?

I haven't.

Wait, it's nighttime over there, isn't it?

I got upset and ended up bugging you for no reason.

Sorry. Get some sleep.

Okay, I'll speak to you soon, Mr. Kim.

Goodbye.

Why's he moping like that when she's totally fine?

I can't bear to watch.

You thought the wedding would end things for good.

This must be a headache.

Did she tell you why she's here? Did they argue?

Did you ask her?

I didn't ask her, but I think something happened.

But I'm sure it'll pass eventually.

Ji-sun is the only person who can control and accept my free-spirited brother.

Right.

So she's a really good person.

Would their marriage really end things? You'd be family and still see her around.

What if the truth comes out one day?

Considering the situation, you might want to come clean before the wedding.

Wouldn't that be the safer, smarter thing to do, both legally and morally?

Are you comforting and encouraging me right now?

I don't appreciate it, so please stay out of it.

I just feel bad that you got caught while trying to get away.

Then stop getting in my way and move aside so I can make my escape.

Why are you trying to run off alone?

Why not grab onto someone nearby to avoid her?

Hold onto someone and use them as cover.

Maybe they'll protect you. You said you were scared.

Do you really think I haven't tried?

Can you please move aside?

Unless you're asking me to use you as cover.

You're so mean.

I hope that zombie-like crush of yours eats you alive.

That jerk.

I'm so embarrassed.

He rejected me again.

NA JIN-SUK

- It's so pretty. - Right?

With these three cameras,

let's get one full shot and two close-ups of Hiro and Mu-hee.

Double-check the chairs and the positions.

Looks like it'll snow.

I don't think we'll get to see the Northern Lights.

Well, it is what it is.

I'm hoping for heavy snow.

Mu-hee.

Nanami will be interpreting for us today.

Why?

Did Mr. Joo refuse to interpret?

No, the car Ho-jin was in got into an accident on the way here.

- Sorry? - An accident?

Was he hurt?

No, no one's hurt.

It was just a fender bender,

but it looks like it'll take them a while to get here.

For today's shoot, we'll have to make do with Nanami interpreting.

A fender bender? I hope he's okay.

Mu-hee, don't worry too much.

She said he wasn't hurt.

I'll try calling him now.

It must be my fault.

I prayed for everything to be ruined.

I should never have said that.

All right, let's start the shoot.

- Okay. - Okay, let's start the shoot.

Nanami.

Please just help them understand one another.

I mean, yes.

The weather isn't good.

He says it looks like it's going to snow.

Snow.

It does look like it's going to snow.

All right, that's a wrap for today's shoot.

So we didn't get to see the lights.

They sure like playing hard to get.

Why don't we try waiting for just one more hour?

It's such a shame.

Hey, we can't, okay?

It's 1:00 a.m., and the sky's grim. There's no chance.

Our crew will get sick.

It's gotten too late.

Once you're all packed up, please head to the lodge nearby.

But we came all this way.

This is so disappointing.

I'll stay behind and film the lights if they're visible early in the morning.

We can use it as stock footage.

Are you also disappointed that we didn't see the lights?

No, glowing.

You said that she glowed when she was with me.

Are you okay?

You sure are ambitious.

Yeah, I'm super ambitious. I'm going to blow up and become famous.

Sure you will.

But she seemed different today.

Probably because my interpreting fell short.

Your interpreting?

Yes.

I guess I failed to convey your words accurately.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee

always heard you talk to her through somebody else.

You're right.

She always heard someone else in her ear.

So it wasn't me?

PAPAGO♥

I heard you were in an accident. I've been so worried. Are you okay?

Please message me back, no matter how late. I'll stay up and wait.

Let me know when you get back.

Producer Shin, late-night snack… delivery.

Did she go somewhere?

NA JIN-SUK

Hey, Ji-sun.

Please don't hang up on me. I'm sorry.

Let's get married like we planned.

Please don't say we're over.

You heard that?

Don't you dare tell a soul.

If you do, I'll kill you.

I just got back.

If you're still awake, do you want to come outside?

Mr. Joo Ho-jin!

Are you okay? Are you hurt at all?

I'm fine. I just got back late because someone else in the car was hurt.

I'm so sorry.

For what?

For cursing you.

I danced with Do Ra-mi all night and cursed you out.

The accident feels like my fault.

I've felt so awful.

The accident was the fault of the driver behind us, who failed to look ahead.

So your cursing and swearing have nothing to do with it.

However, the good luck you collected came through.

Can't you see it?

Thank you. I'm seeing the lights thanks to you.

I'd like to take credit for this,

but I threw out all the clovers I collected.

My wish had nothing to do with this.

That's not true.

You still have one left.

You kept it all this time instead of throwing it out?

I saw how hard you worked to find them. How could I just throw it out?

Then we're seeing the lights now because I wished so hard to see them.

I also helped

with one.

You found one too?

I noticed it while the accident was being sorted.

I wanted to see them too.

Our wish came true.

It's nice seeing them together.

What a view.

Should we head in? It's late. We should.

Why? Let's stay a little longer.

We've been staring at it for ages.

Well…

It's so rare to witness an aurora. Who knows when we'll see one again?

We should keep staring until we're sick of it.

She had hers?

Let's stay together a little while longer.

Let's do that.

When else will we get to see this? Right?

You know, Mr. Joo Ho-jin,

I heard a story somewhere

about a woman who patiently taught her boyfriend,

who was dreadful with chopsticks, how to use them properly.

Then she told him,

"If we ever break up,

every time you pick up a pair of chopsticks, you'll think of me."

And she was right.

That's some effective and scary brainwashing.

We're seeing the aurora now because I wished for it.

So from now on, Mr. Joo,

every time you see an aurora, you'll think of Cha Mu-hee.

Don't be scared.

Auroras don't show up in Korea.

Isn't that a relief?

Oh boy.

I think one just might.

CAN THIS LOVE BE TRANSLATED?

A three-leaf clover.

Man, this isn't easy.

Let's see.

Hey, a four-leaf clover!

Carl!

A four-leaf clover.
