WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ARE FICTIONAL

CHILD ACTORS WERE FILMED WITH GUARDIANS PRESENT

ANIMALS WERE FILMED UNDER EXPERT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE RULES

[♪ soft, gentle music playing]

If I just left, he'd lose it and cause trouble.

It seemed like he'd do anything to find that house's owner.

Also...

Even if it didn't end well with him, he was hurt in front of me.

Wait.

Last time,

didn't you say to team up with Wooju if push came to shove?

I did.

Right.

I said that.

So what's with you?

Why are you so angry?

Well...

Maybe it's because I like you.

I don't like seeing you with another guy.

[♪ ethereal sparkle]

Why?

What?

I mean...

Why should I give a reason for liking someone?

Why me?

Legally speaking, I'm a divorcée.

So I can't like you?

Your family will obviously disapprove.

Are you dating my family? You'd be dating me.

Even so.

[♪ enthralling orchestral music playing]

What about you?

Sorry?

Does it bother you that I like you?

[hesitates] Well, no.

I mean, it's not that I'm bothered.

If I fall for you,

I can't separate dating from marriage.

But marriage comes with real-life problems,

and real life is always about money,

so do you have some saved up?

[♪ whimsical sting]

I mean...

I can tell from how you dress that you're not the saving type.

What?

I dressed up today

only because we were supposed to meet up for lunch.

I don't usually shop for clothes much.

Oh, eating out with me. I see.

[♪ gripping, whimsical music playing]

Where do you live, then?

At my grandmother's.

Oh, with her.

Oh, should I move out? I totally can.

What? Oh, no.

A subscription deposit is a must. Do you have an account?

No, because I lived abroad.

-I see. -I can open one.

Are you afraid [gulps]

I'll ask you to let me stay with you in the unit you won?

With me?

[gasps softly]

That must be it.

Is that what you think of me?

It's not like that.

It's a bit embarrassing to have to say this myself,

but I'm not that badly off.

I make a decent amount, too.

I didn't think so of you, but you're...

Me what?

I just...

It's just that I heard something so unexpected and...

I got flustered.

Don't you think you're going a bit too far?

Did I ask you to marry me right away?

I didn't expect to tell you my feelings today, but I did,

and I'm just as flustered.

Gosh, I'm too scared to say anything else.

What happened here just now...

-Let's say it never happened. -What?

What? Wait, no.

How can I pretend I didn't hear that?

I was just too flustered.

-Also, I'm a mess because I stayed up-- -It's fine.

-Say you didn't hear a thing. -I'm not rejecting...

-Are you ticked off? -Me?

-Of course not. -You are.

[line ringing]

[breathing heavily]

[automated voice] The call can't be connected. Transferring to voicemail.

-[line disconnects] -Geez, where did those two go?

Meri!

Meri. [sobbing]

Why are you out here?

I looked for you everywhere.

Why did you leave a patient on his own?

[sighs softly]

Who are you?

I'm Ms. Yoo's acquaintance.

[scoffs]

Her acquaintance?

You think I don't know who you are?

[Kim Wooju] That's right.

I'm the homeowner.

[♪ gripping, dramatic music playing]

I needed a housekeeper anyway, so I asked her for a favor.

A housekeeper?

That's a really neat trick.

You'll use the house as an excuse to hit on her?

[Meri] Watch your language.

He's a team leader for one of my clients.

He's doing me a favor because I'm struggling.

Oh, he's a team leader?

You're pretty nosy for a team leader, looking out for a business partner.

Thanks for the compliment.

Since I'm being nosy, I might as well interfere.

No, don't you come closer.

I'm a patient!

Don't come any closer!

That hurts! Let go of me!

You'll make the break even worse!

-Be quiet. -[exhales]

Darn it!

[phone vibrates]

[Songhee] Ms. Yoo, you need to come over right away.

The coffee shop owner doesn't like the logo we designed.

You should go. I'll stay with him.

What? Gosh, no.

I can't ask that of you. It's fine.

Songhee seems to need you really urgently.

But still...

I'd feel more comfortable if you left.

Can you do that for me, then?

His family will be here soon.

Okay.

You can't go, Meri. I'm a patient.

Who knows what he might do to me?

You're much safer with him than with me. Don't worry.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Kim.

-Bye. -Meri!

[groans softly]

Meri! Let go of me!

Let me go. Meri!

[patient] What's all this goddamn noise?

Do you own this place?

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Keep it down.

WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

EPISODE 7

[♪ tense, dramatic music playing]

I was sorting out my late husband's things.

This was deep inside the drawer.

It seemed important.

CHAIRWOMAN KO PHILNYUN

If Mr. Ko took this home to work on it...

someone in the company could be involved.

Look into it quietly.

I'll do that.

[knock at door, door opens]

[door closes]

[♪ music crescendos]

[♪ music stops]

It's the licensing details for the plant in Texas.

Construction is going exactly as planned.

Once it's complete within the year,

we'll run seven production lines for testing purposes.

The dorms for the local employees will open sometime next month.

Allocate plenty of time for testing,

and train the bakers and employees well.

The Kaltz Hotel is one of the top US hotel chains.

We can't afford to make a mistake while supplying them.

Yes, I understand.

What time are we meeting Director David from Kaltz?

We can leave soon.

I looked around the US plant with Director Jang last month.

I see.

With a plant that size,

you can supply the buffet at all our hotels at once.

Sure.

You have 320 hotels in North America,

and we can't send our experts to each of them.

We decided to go out on a limb and open a plant.

[David in English] Yes, I heard about it.

[in Korean] I heard you secured major funding from an investment firm.

We're supplying our hangwa desserts to a top US hotel chain.

We need them to live up to Myungsoondang's reputation.

[chuckles contentedly]

I see the 80-year tradition was built on hard work.

Starting with the deal with our hotel,

I hope Myungsoondang becomes a household name throughout the US.

Yes, I hope you'll help us with that.

[all chuckle]

-Please eat. -Thank you.

[cutlery clatters]

I'll stay to discuss a few more details with David.

Keep up the good work.

Goodbye.

Would she ever contact Kaltz directly?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

I quit that place a while ago.

[chuckles]

Don't worry. Confirming the details is my job.

[chuckles softly] Okay.

I'm doing this because I trust you.

By the way, did you order to shut down J Consulting?

Don't they still have some use?

They've done enough.

You should fly out right away. Don't let anyone see you.

Okay.

[line ringing]

Come on. Pick up, Meri.

[automated voice] The call can't be connected. Transferring to voicemail.

-[sighs] -[line disconnects]

MERI

[door slides open]

[sighs]

MYUNGSOONDANG

You're giving bread to a patient?

Don't eat if you don't want to.

[sighs wearily]

I'm not pleased that I have to bring you food.

[hums in satisfaction]

[hums in satisfaction]

[stomach rumbles]

MILK

Darn it.

[coughing]

[sighs]

[clears throat]

So...

Is your name also Wooju?

That's what Meri called you.

Yes, unfortunately.

It's more unfortunate for me.

You don't seem to know about me and Meri.

We skipped the wedding, but we're practically married.

We dated for five years.

[scoffs softly]

How much could you know about her?

You say that about her when you cheated on her?

Geez, you're utter trash.

What? Tra...

It wasn't...

It wasn't cheating.

Momentary confusion.

Okay? A man's temporary drift brought upon by cold feet.

You're a guy, too. You must get it.

I don't get it.

I only know how responsible a man feels before marriage.

[huffs]

[inhales deeply]

Try as you might. You can't beat me.

Do you know why?

Meri...

cares about looks.

She's a visual stan.

[♪ dramatic guitar music playing]

[scoffs]

Hey.

Wipe your mouth, will you?

[huffs]

You're too kind for your own good.

[♪ dreamy, ambient music playing]

What about you?

Sorry?

Does it bother you that I like you?

Why did he grab my hand?

The way he grabbed it

made me freeze.

[sighing in frustration] What on earth did I say to his face?

[phone chimes]

[Kim Wooju] I'm leaving now. Kim Wooju is asleep.

Nothing much happened, so don't worry and have a good night.

[phone vibrates]

[Meri] Thank you.

Have a good night.

I WON'T DO ANYTHING TO BOTHER YOU AGAIN

[phone vibrates]

I won't do anything to bother you again.

[chuckles softly]

[sighs contentedly]

[siren wailing]

[phone vibrating]

Hello, ma'am. Are you getting treated?

That's good to hear.

You can't jog for a while, though.

-Dinner? -[indistinct chatter]

What on earth--

What the heck?

-[Wooju's mom] Which way do we go? -I don't know. Let's go upstairs.

[both continue indistinctly]

Yes, go on.

[♪ tense, whimsical music playing]

Do I need this shot?

Yes, you do.

-Be gentle. -I will.

-I'll be gentle. -Be nice.

It's just a small prick.

[exclaiming in pain]

Well done.

Hold onto this and rub for a while.

Lean forward so I can pull up your pants.

Oh, come on!

-We're done. Good for you. -Thanks.

[music increases in tempo]

[♪ dramatic sting]

-Can I have a word? -Yes.

He smells really bad.

He's causing the others some discomfort.

-Will you do something? -Yes, sure.

What did she whisper to you?

When did you last shower?

[patient 1] Staying clean is crucial when you're ill.

[complains indistinctly]

-[patient 1] Or you start to smell. -[patient 2] That's a huge nuisance.

You're stinking up the room.

You're being a nuisance to the others.

I don't smell that bad.

Not so rough.

I have sensitive skin.

My skin turns red if you rub too hard.

Hey!

Get this off my face!

[screams] Hey!

Wooju! Mom's here, darling!

-My gosh. -Wooju! I'm here.

-My poor baby. -Mom!

My dear baby.

Who did this to you?

Who was it?

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Since you're here, I'll see myself out.

[clears throat]

[Wooju crying] Mom!

[Wooju's mom crying] Wooju. My darling boy. My baby.

It must hurt so bad.

[Wooju] That punk said I smelled!

-[Wooju's sister] This much? -A bit higher.

-Higher. -[Wooju's sister] Higher?

[in English] Okay, stop.

-[groans] -Goodness.

I'm glad it's a slight fracture.

How did it happen?

Was Meri involved?

You went to see her that day.

What is she talking about?

[in Korean] I went to apologize to her.

You screamed at her mom

-and threw her food and stuff. -You bet.

Should I have apologized that my son cheated?

What do you think Meri's mom would've done, then?

She'd have demanded we hand over the housing deposit.

I got the upper hand before she could.

Okay, fine.

Why would you apologize to her anyway?

Are you...

Do you want to get back with her?

[Wooju's mom] Wooju.

Tell us the truth.

What about Jenny?

We broke up.

-What? -What?

[♪ tense, gripping music playing]

My goodness.

She seduced you only to two-time you?

She should be punished for--

[sputters]

-[chuckling] -Sorry.

My bad. [chuckling]

[Wooju's mom] Be more careful, will you? [chuckles]

You're right, Mom.

I think I'm being punished.

[♪ dramatic guitar music playing]

[breath trembling]

[crying] Mom.

I think I really loved Meri.

I don't think I can live without her.

Mom.

Can you go apologize to her and bring her back?

If Meri leaves me,

I might just go somewhere and die!

[wailing]

Sorry, I'm working right now.

Can't you do something?

From what Wooju said, he practically got hurt because of you.

Hey, you.

You're a mean thing, you.

How can you ignore someone you used to be so close to?

We used to be close, which is why I looked after him while you were away.

I've done my duty.

You said we were a bad match and told me to get lost.

I don't want to see you or Wooju again.

I'll hang up now.

[line disconnects]

[♪ melancholy music playing]

[sighs]

-Did you hear that? -Yes.

We'd broken up a while ago,

but I couldn't find the right time to tell you.

I see.

The thing is, last time,

I told your boyfriend where to find you.

I messed up, didn't I?

You didn't because you didn't know.

Ignore his calls from now on.

It was a nasty breakup.

Okay.

[phone vibrating]

TEAM LEADER KIM WOOJU

Hello?

[car honks]

Ms. Yoo.

[Kim Wooju chuckles softly]

We'll set off now.

[engine starts]

[♪ gripping, whimsical music playing]

[Meri] Did you get a new car?

[chuckles softly]

I bought it a while ago, and they just sent it over.

So...

You're my first ever passenger.

[chuckles softly]

It's a lovely car. Quite comfortable, too.

Isn't it?

So, from now on,

I'll pick you up every now and then.

What for?

I just want to treat you better.

[chuckles softly]

I won't fall for sweet-talk like that.

[chuckles softly] I thought so.

[grunts]

What's this?

I picked it up on the way.

[♪ ethereal sparkle]

It's not even my birthday,

-and you got me flowers? -Yes.

What are these called?

They're white and so round.

They look like cotton balls.

They're called pompons or something.

Pompons?

They have a special meaning which I don't remember.

You can look it up.

[♪ enchanting orchestral music playing]

POMPON FLOWER SYMBOLISM

[Kim Wooju] My heart is sincere.

[clears throat]

[phone vibrates]

Yes, hello. Where are you?

[♪ soft orchestral music playing in background]

Oh, you should've said so, then. We could've rescheduled.

Well...

Okay, I understand.

Bye.

I'm sorry about that.

She can't make it.

Something urgent came up.

I guess she didn't know I'd joined you.

I'll leave, then.

No, don't leave.

She wanted to treat us to say thank you.

You should stay.

Sit back down.

[exclaims]

I can't eat all this on my own.

Sit down.

Come on, take your seat.

You should have a drink with me.

One for you.

One for me.

Cheers.

Come on. Cheers.

[exhales deeply]

It's worth the price. It smells lovely.

[gasps]

Wow, you need to try this, Director.

It's delicious.

Have a taste.

I looked up your interview to get to know you better.

Oh, you're a pretty competent guy.

You were behind Beauté Department Store's legendary sales figures,

and became the youngest ever managing director.

[exclaims in awe]

[inhales deeply]

You have a great character as well.

-Is that praise? -No.

You're pretty sharp.

I wanted to ask a question, not praise you.

You chased down and scolded the kids who were filming in secret,

so you have a sense of justice,

and you seem to be able to tell right from wrong.

Why are you so intimidated by your boss?

I did some digging.

Whenever your boss needed a doctor's note to avoid appearing in court,

you got them issued.

That's really unfair of him.

Director.

For a man so competent and just,

doesn't it hurt your pride?

[♪ tense, whimsical music playing]

[chuckles softly]

Did I hit a sore spot?

I'm sorry if I offended you.

There are people

who were born on third base and think they scored a three-base hit.

They think they got there themselves and criticize others without thinking.

[♪ gripping, whimsical music playing]

"How incompetent must you be to struggle at first base?"

The pride and convictions people like you have...

are the first thing people like me

who struggle to be at first base must give up.

[♪ whimsical sting]

Oh, right. [clears throat]

I have something for you, too.

You looked after Wooju when I couldn't.

I got this because I felt sorry and grateful.

Goodness.

Drive safely.

Thanks so much for the flowers.

Wait, this isn't how it goes.

If you're grateful, you should offer me ramyeon

or at least some water.

I have something to show you, too.

What's that?

DIARY

What's all this?

They say, "Look into their past if you want to see someone's future."

As you can see, ever since I was seven,

I wrote down how much I spent and whatnot.

I put 1,000 won a day into a special account,

and I have countless installment savings accounts.

They say old habits die hard.

People who are used to saving up--

"Today at taekwondo, I did a back kick and gave my big brother a nosebleed."

[♪ whimsical music playing]

You were always good at giving people nosebleeds.

You have an older brother?

No, he's my cousin.

Don't read those parts, and look down here.

"Today's income, today's expense,

-amount saved." -Okay.

-[clears throat] -[♪ ethereal sparkle]

I did spend everything I'd saved up to study abroad,

but anyone who's this diligent about saving up

will have some basic economic concepts.

I also have an inheritance my parents left me when they died.

Who is Miso?

"I wonder if she is doing okay.

When I go back to Korea, I want to thank Miso..."

Why do you keep reading other stuff instead of what I want you to see?

I can't help it. It's right there.

Who is Miso?

Her name keeps popping up.

She's someone you liked, right?

No.

She is.

Her name might come up again.

Give me that back.

Let me read on.

You shouldn't read someone else's diary--

[slow, rhythmic heartbeats]

[♪ upbeat pop music playing]

[stomach rumbles]

[♪ record scratches, music halts]

[stomach rumbling]

I didn't eat dinner yet.

[♪ upbeat pop music playing]

[beeps]

[♪ upbeat pop music continues]

[exclaims contentedly]

[both chuckle]

-It's cheese-flavored. -[acknowledges]

[♪ ethereal sparkle]

Bon appétit.

[hums in satisfaction]

-Is it good? -It's actual rice cake.

I love rice cakes. It's good.

-I want to try yours. -Okay.

[Meri] This one's good, too.

[hums in satisfaction]

This would be perfect

-with beer. -With beer.

Shall we?

I WATCHED A GO MATCH...

I bet you were adorable as a kid.

Was I?

Maybe I was as a kid.

I had to grow up pretty quickly.

What did you want to become?

You mentioned Go in your diary.

[inhales deeply]

That's what I wanted to do when I was nine.

But after that, [clears throat]

I wanted to be a pilot, a policeman, a Go player...

I guess I wanted to do anything that looked cool.

[chuckles] You were greedy.

[clears throat] So, is Miso the girl you had a crush on?

-Why? Are you bothered? -No.

You said you didn't have a first love, but her name cropped up everywhere.

Was it a romance of the century?

Miso isn't her real name.

[sighs] This is way too embarrassing to explain.

Don't laugh at me.

"Mystery Girl."

Miso's my code for that.

[both chuckle]

[♪ feel-good music playing]

-[coughs] -You're laughing a bit too hard.

Sorry.

By the way,

why were you so grateful to a girl you didn't even know?

What is it?

-Tell me. -[exclaims]

What was that for?

What? I shook really gently.

-[exclaims] -[chuckles, gasps]

I might end up flying off.

Don't say that. I shook the chair so gently.

[both laughing]

[gasps, exclaims]

[both exclaim]

I'm okay.

-Okay. -I'm okay.

I called for a driver.

-Is your car parked over there? -Yes.

[sighs in exasperation]

[chuckles softly]

Can I ask you something?

But you have to answer super objectively.

Because the people around me aren't objective.

Do I have

no charm at all as a woman?

[♪ whimsical music playing]

[chuckles nervously]

Tell the honest truth.

Really objectively.

Well, you're not that bad.

[chuckles] Right?

I'm not that bad, am I?

[giggles drunkenly]

[whimpers]

But...

Why doesn't the guy I like

see me as a woman?

Is it because he's known me for too long?

It's not because he's known you for long.

It's because he initially didn't see you as dating material.

"Initially?"

[giggles]

We met when we were kids.

What would a kid know about dating?

Everyone's a brother or sister

or a friend that's like family.

They might be kids, but they still know.

Especially boys.

They decide right away if someone's a potential girlfriend or just a sister.

I see.

Then...

he never considered me a potential date since he was a kid?

Because I had zero charm?

-No, it's-- -Is that it?

No, or maybe yes. That was it.

I see.

[♪ gripping, dramatic music playing]

[crying]

Kim Wooju, you son of a b****!

You told me to be objectively honest.

[wailing]

[sighs]

[gasps]

My car's here.

That is my car.

[Jingyeong] It's my car.

-It's mine. -I should

get back home now.

[♪ gripping, comical music playing]

Get back safely.

No, but that's my car. Hello?

-Jingyeong's car. -Just a moment.

[phone vibrating]

Hello? Is this the driver for hire?

You can't call me now to say you can't come.

[scoffs]

Okay, fine.

-Jingyeong's car. -Hey, wait.

[Jingyeong grunts]

[♪ dramatic sting]

Hello?

This is my car, Doctor.

Doctor.

Hey.

Call if there's an emergency case.

Ms. Yoon.

Ms. Yoon.

Ms. Yoon, you...

[Jingyeong slurring]

I'm sorry, sir. I thought she was with you.

[sighs in exasperation]

It's so hot.

[groans softly]

[sighs]

[gasps]

It doesn't look good. It's raining even harder.

CANCEL REQUEST

Did you find a driver?

No, not yet.

Why is it so hard to find someone? Is it because it's raining so hard?

THE REQUEST WAS CANCELED

Why is it so hard to match with a driver when it's not even rush hour?

It might be harder because we're on the outskirts.

Yes, I guess.

[inhales deeply]

What should I do now?

I can't stay the night.

You can stay the night.

There are plenty of bedrooms.

And it's your house, too.

-What? -What?

[♪ whimsical music playing]

I mean, that's what we told the department store,

and you helped me out, so you have a big share in the house.

Oh, yes. That's true. Then I'll stay the night.

-You can. -Okay.

How will you get to work tomorrow?

I can leave really early.

Yes, right.

The rain will have stopped by then.

-And I'll be sober by then. -Yes.

[Meri hums thoughtfully]

Where will you sleep, then?

[hums thoughtfully]

That room...

-I'll sleep here. -What?

Why here? There are bedrooms.

I prefer the couch.

Excuse me.

[chuckles] You can't sleep out here.

-I can. -It's too uncomfortable.

-Let me-- -It's fine.

Let me find you something comfy to change into.

Oh, okay.

[inhales deeply, clears throat]

[clears throat]

[sighing contentedly]

Something comfy he can wear...

Oh, yes.

[inhales deeply]

[rain pattering]

Mr. Kim. I found you a...

He looks precious when he's asleep.

It feels like a couple sleeping apart after an argument.

That really got me.

Let him see us while I'm here.

Is that why you wanted us to wear the same shirts?

You said we had to play the part.

When does he come here to eat anyway?

I don't know.

Hey, over there.

-Look. -Let's move.

[chuckles softly]

Yes.

Can you bring me a few items?

Oh, hi. Are you here for breakfast?

My wife insisted we check out the place, so here we are.

I see. You can take this table. I'm done.

You're done already?

We were hoping to eat with you.

Some other time, maybe.

I'll see you around, then.

[groaning]

My head hurts.

Am I a blockhead?

Ms. Yoon.

-[exclaiming drunkenly] -[exclaiming anxiously]

[Jingyeong screams]

[Jingyeong panting]

[breathing heavily]

[gags]

[♪ dramatic guitar music playing]

No, don't! [grunts, exclaims anxiously]

[Jingyeong] The bathroom!

[Sanghyeon] Wait.

-The bathroom! -The bathroom.

The bathroom's over here!

Now you can puke! [panting]

[gasps in horror]

[whines in embarrassment]

[♪ dramatic sting]

[door keypad beeping]

[door unlocks]

[♪ dramatic music continues]

[♪ dramatic sting]

[gasps]

I sent your clothes to the dry cleaners,

and I can get them back this afternoon.

So, I found you something to change into.

-[Jingyeong] Okay. -I'm...

leaving for work.

[Jingyeong acknowledges softly]

Here's some hangover soup.

[door opens, lock beeps]

[♪ gripping, whimsical music playing]

[sighs sheepishly]

[whines in embarrassment]

[sighs]

[pants]

[gasps]

Yoon Jingyeong, you lost your mind!

[whines in embarrassment]

-[clears throat] -Shall we have a coffee?

Yes, sure. Here is...

Hey.

Hey.

[♪ enchanting dreamy music playing]

[exclaims]

[gasps]

Isn't that Oh Sanguk?

[Meri] No way. [gasps]

Where... [sighs]

[♪ ethereal sparkle]

[hesitates]

Hello, are you...

-It's you, right? -Yes, that's me.

[exclaims excitedly]

I'm a huge fan of yours.

-You were awesome in Paris. -[Kim Wooju] My goodness.

-Someone's really excited. -[Meri] You're incredible.

Do you mind

-giving me an autograph? -That's fine.

-What do we have... -We don't have a pen.

[Sanguk] I have one.

Then can you sign this for me?

-Your shirt? -Yes.

No, wait.

-Sign mine instead. -Okay.

-I'll sign on the back. -Yes.

You're so good-looking.

Wow, your shoulders are so broad.

[♪ upbeat dreamy music playing]

-Thanks. -[giggles]

What's your name?

It's Yoo Meri.

[Kim Wooju] She's delighted.

I'm done.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

If you don't mind, can I take a photo with you?

Why not?

-[squeals] A photo! -Why ask for a photo, too?

[exclaims excitedly]

No, not like that.

Are you ready?

One, two, three.

[camera shutter clicks]

Take one more picture. Just one more.

One, two, three.

[camera shutter clicks]

-Thank you. -Sure.

Bye, then.

-Good luck. -You too.

[♪ tense, gripping music playing]

[sighs softly]

Let's have a look.

What's this?

What's what?

What the heck? What happened?

[♪ whimsical sting]

The backlight's too strong. [chuckles]

Oh, too bad.

[scoffs] Did you do that on purpose?

I did not. What do you take me for?

I'll get a better one next time.

It was on purpose.

Wait for me.

I'll take another one for you next time.

There won't be a next time.

-I'll ask him to-- -[Meri] Forget it.

[Kim Wooju] Come on.

[♪ gripping, dramatic music playing]

-Wooju. -Jingyeong.

IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, YOO MERI!

OH SANGUK

Have you lost your mind?

What if your grandmother finds out?

I didn't think it would snowball.

But it's true that Ms. Yoo won the raffle.

-Things just got messed up. -Whatever.

Back out of it right now.

You've gone crazy.

This makes you an accomplice.

[♪ poignant, melancholy music playing]

[line ringing]

Hello, sir, this is Kim Juhee.

I have a question regarding the consulting firm

we hired to enter the US market.

I found nothing wrong with the contract I looked over last time.

Let me look into it.

Bye.

CFO JANG HANGU

[line disconnects]

It looks like Ms. Kim noticed something.

[♪ ominous music playing]

[♪ music crescendos, halts]

I'm waiting for confirmation on the color of the sheet mask package.

If the client makes any extra requests,

just tell me, and I'll handle it when I get back.

Shall I say you went home for your father's death anniversary?

If it might help.

Are you leaving soon?

[inhales deeply]

I still have some time left.

[phone ringing]

INCOMING CALL

Hello?

[♪ soft, somber music playing]

I probably surprised you by suddenly reaching out.

No, not at all.

I meant to call you, too.

Do you know why I called?

-Yes. -Then I won't drag this on.

Leave Wooju out of it.

I know... I should.

He can't afford to get involved with something like that.

People would talk nonstop if this were to get out.

He has a company to inherit.

A company?

Didn't you know?

He's the grandson of Myungsoondang's CEO.

He'll take over the company later on.

[♪ poignant, melancholy music playing]

I...

I really had no idea.

I shouldn't have involved him even if I'd known, but...

Oh, dear. I feel so bad.

I was in such a bad situation that I only thought of myself.

I'll talk to Mr. Kim about it.

Can't you just end it on your end, Meri?

Wooju won't be able to say no to you.

Because he owes you.

He owes me?

[sighs softly]

[♪ ominous sting]

[Jingyeong] Didn't you know

that your father saved Wooju that day?

-I was driving from that direction... -[young Kim Wooju] Dad!

...when I saw him

-standing on the road looking like that. -Mom!

-That's when I stepped on the brakes. -Dad!

[crying] I'm sorry!

That boy was Mr. Kim.

[♪ poignant, melancholy music playing]

He should've said so.

[Jingyeong] That's why he helped you out.

Because he felt bad.

He wanted to pay you back.

Who is Miso?

"If time passes and I see Miso again one day,

I should tell her I'm sorry."

Now I understand.

[voice over PA system] The bus to Yeosu will leave shortly.

Please board the bus.

[♪ gentle piano music playing in background]

Jingyeong.

-Hey, you're here. -[chuckles softly]

Why did you suddenly want to see me?

Well...

What is it?

Wooju, I messed up.

What?

I told Meri everything.

I told her to stop using you...

[♪ enthralling tense music playing]

[sighs]

Wooju.

[sighs]

[line ringing]

-[line continues ringing] -[engine starts]

[tires screech]

[Youngsook] Here you go.

[sighs]

[grunts]

Sundol has been stressed out.

He eats so much.

What would he be stressed out about?

Aesun from next door. [chuckles]

Sundol thought she liked him,

and got his hopes up, but she mated with another dog.

He didn't eat for a few days,

but now he won't stop eating.

Man, he's not cute anymore because he's gotten so lazy and chubby.

I hate it.

Gosh, the poor thing.

Don't feel bad for him.

He ruined his life by getting his hopes up.

That's pitiful.

[wet fabric squishes]

-Are you hungry? -No, I'm fine.

Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

[sighs] I should take Sundol for a walk.

Come along.

That brat.

What's up with her now?

[phone vibrating]

TEAM LEADER KIM WOOJU

[♪ poignant, melancholy music playing]

You know, Sundol. You need to calm down a bit.

You get carried away too easily.

[sighs]

You can't give your heart that easily.

That's how you get hurt.

[chuckles softly] Hey, boy.

Being cute isn't a free pass.

From now on,

even if someone says they like you,

you need to stay calm, okay?

Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows, you know.

Do you get that?

[car door closes]

Why didn't you answer your phone?

What?

Oh, I must've left it at home.

[chuckles softly]

[♪ dreamy, ambient music playing]

Why didn't you tell me you met up with Jingyeong?

I was going to tell you.

When? Next year?

Don't you want to ask me anything?

[hesitates]

[inhales deeply]

Do you still have the stuffed toy I gave you?

Yes, I've been keeping it safe.

[exclaims]

What else?

[clears throat] In your old diary,

am I the Mystery Girl?

Yes.

There's something else you want to ask.

I'm fine.

With what?

My dad's death.

I don't blame your family for it.

While my dad was alive,

he loved me very much.

So...

So you don't have to feel bad.

Also,

you can stop helping me.

It's not just about what Jingyeong said.

Honestly, I've been feeling uneasy about it too.

It's not because I'm sorry.

It's because I like you.

I'm doing this because I like you.

Whatever it is that you do,

I'll stay right next to you.

[♪ gentle, dreamy music playing]

So...

[♪ ethereal sparkle]

WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

[Meri] You never came back to Korea all that time?

[Kim Wooju] I did. I came to see you.

[Youngsook] If your family mistreats my Meri,

I won't let her marry you.

Even if it's just for a day, she should live feeling loved.

[Meri] I'm going to tell Mr. Baek everything.

[Sanghyeon] Don't blame yourself. All people are selfish.

[Wooju] He's the grandson of Myungsoondang's CEO.

End it unless you want to see him go down!

[Philnyun] Are things going well with Wooju?

[Meri] Will coming clean improve my chances with you?

[Kim Wooju] What are you saying?

Do you want us to break up?
