THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE

You've had too much to drink.

Let's end the meeting here.

I'll call you another time.

- Where the hell are you going? - That hurts! Let go!

You think you can just leave?

Let go! It hurts!

Tae-seop!

Who the hell are you?

Me? Her boyfriend.

Huh?

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Hold up. What did you just say?

You had a boyfriend all along?

Damn it!

Why would he set me up with a woman who's already taken?

Set you up?

Who set you up with me?

I knew something was off.

I'm not going to let this slide.

Don't even dream of getting your hands on our products!

Please stop there and leave.

Why do you keep interrupting us?

Better me interrupting than the police.

You've got a lot of eyes watching. And the CCTV is filming it all.

Damn it!

Good luck getting your damn cattle!

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Does your wrist hurt a lot? Let me see.

Oh, gosh.

That jerk.

By the way

how did you know to come here?

Oh, well...

Mr. Shin called me.

- Ji-su? - Yeah.

I keep thinking about someone else.

I promise not to cross the line.

I won't bother you. All good now?

How could I not have realized this?

Don't beat yourself up over it. You should be mad.

Let's go. I'll drive you home.

THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE EPISODE 10

Mr. Oh seems to have set you up for that meeting because it was a date.

From what you've told me, it seems like the guy knew it was a date.

- Touch it. - What? No, thanks.

You're old enough to know everything.

It's not fun when a woman keeps acting so innocent.

So, how many men have you dated?

Three? Four?

But why would Mr. Oh do that?

He must've wanted to make this happen

knowing how keen the Senior Managing Director was.

He probably didn't think anything would go wrong over one dinner.

I know you've gone on a lot of blind dates lately.

But as you know

blind dates are good experience, even if things don't work out.

And sometimes, you get lucky and find a good one.

Take the card.

Order whatever you want with it, okay?

How could he do this? It was a work meeting.

I can't let this slide, either.

He totally undermined us.

I'll file a formal complaint with the hotel.

LIVESTOCK ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT AGENCY

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM?

IS SOMETHING WRONG AT PURCHASING?

I HEAR MR. OH HAD A BIG FIGHT WITH HIS TEAMMATES

Why are they getting so nosy about nothing?

As if it's not bad enough already.

How did it go?

I just recounted everything that happened

from the sudden change in the project manager

to the things that happened to Ui-yeong.

Mr. Oh is having a meeting with the Grievance Committee.

OFFICE AUTOMATION ROOM

Let's get some coffee.

- Ui-yeong. - Mr. Oh.

Well...

I'm sorry.

I thought it'd make things easier

if the people working on the project got along...

No, I have no excuse.

I'm really sorry this time.

This won't ever happen again.

I promise you that.

Okay.

Sorry.

Ui-yeong, you haven't had lunch yet, right?

We'll take two of the chef's specials.

- Okay, I'll get that ready right away. - Thank you.

Well...

I should've at least changed out of my uniform.

It's fine.

We're here as guests.

And the hotel doesn't own this place. It's an outside vendor.

We don't even get employee discounts.

Don't be shy and enjoy it all.

This is such a fancy lunch.

You need to enjoy something good to make yourself feel better.

Dig in.

Sorry for not appreciating you as our key employee

when we were prioritizing the hotel over you.

It's okay.

Mr. Oh apologized

and you've gone so far to make me feel better.

I don't think I'll remember this as being that bad.

You've been working at our hotel for about ten years now, right?

Yeah.

You'll get burnt out at the hotel if you let something like this slide.

So, until the Disciplinary Committee decides what to do with Mr. Oh

we want to give you a few days off.

A few days off?

But I have a lot on my plate right now. I need to look for another producer, too.

Oh, I thought you'd be excited.

Come to think of it, you haven't had a proper vacation yet.

You also went straight through college without a break.

- Yeah. - As admirable as that is

sometimes, I feel bad for you.

Na-ri's determined to do well now, so don't worry.

Why don't you take this chance

to take some time for yourself?

Okay, I will.

Okay, keep eating. It's good soup.

Okay, thank you.

- Hey, Mom. - What are you doing? Don't you have work?

Oh, I got a few days off.

But my body still thinks it's time for work.

That's random.

Did you do something wrong?

No, I was wronged...

No, they just told me to get some rest and recharge.

Didn't I tell you to stand your ground

to keep people from undermining you?

Nobody undermines me as much as you do.

Stop nagging. Just get to work.

Clean the house.

- You don't get a day off from chores. - My gosh.

What's your plan now?

Don't worry. I have plenty to do!

- Just go! - Okay, bye.

- Have a good day. - Bye.

What should I do now?

There's nothing to do. Can't believe I came to the gym myself.

I just started, and I'm already getting flooded with work.

Oh, no. Maybe this will make you feel better.

OH, NO. MAYBE THIS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

I'll need to see your forearms to feel better.

Take a photo of your face or your arms, not both.

You think you can make both look good in one photo?

I'LL NEED TO SEE YOUR FOREARMS TO FEEL BETTER

I definitely feel better now!

Hyun-min, any updates on the market visit?

No, nothing.

But the reporter who wrote about tiger cattle replied

so I'll ask her about the farm in the article.

From a reporter?

Hold on. Why is everyone reading the chat?

Ui-yeong, you're reading the chat!

Let's leave this chat and start a new one.

No, wait!

Come on.

You can work or rest, but not both.

I'll have to take care of all of it once I'm back, anyway.

Come on. You know things you've been putting off because you've been busy.

Do those, one by one.

Hey, how come you're not making me do squats or lunges

when you're not the one on vacation right now?

Alright, get into the plank pose right now.

You're lying facing up? Let's do leg raises.

To the side? Let's work your obliques.

Tighten your core muscles!

WISHLIST: A RELAXED MORNING, READING, SPENDING TIME WITH MOM, TRYING A NEW THING

I've been putting off tons of things because I haven't had time.

Oh!

A DATE WITH TAE-SEOP

A date.

What else?

- See you. - No, wait!

Ta-da! It's for you.

What?

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Have a good day! - Bye!

It smells so nice.

ENJOYING A RELAXING MORNING, CHECK

READING A BOOK, CHECK

I don't like things that hurt.

My colleague is scared of everything

and she said this was painless.

It's about time you got some work done.

If it's so good, why don't you get it?

Let me be a good daughter for once, alright?

You can sleep if you get sleepy.

Okay.

How is it? Do you like it?

DOING A FULL-BODY STRETCH, CHECK

- Slowly! - Here we go!

Stop it!

You're so stiff.

That hurts.

Go like this.

PARK JEONG-IM

Hello.

- Jeong-im. - Yeah?

Why don't you eat lunch with us these days?

My daughter's on vacation

and I guess she likes making breakfast now.

She made me lunch, so I had this instead.

She makes lunches for you while on vacation?

What a kind daughter you have!

You wouldn't be saying that if you'd actually tasted it.

Did you schedule your physical?

Oh, right.

You want to go with me this year, too?

I don't mean to show off

but my son asked me first, so I've already booked an appointment.

We're going to an all-you-can-eat, too!

- That'll be a nice date. - Yeah.

You should go with your daughter, too.

She'll keep you company.

Me? No, I'll just go by myself.

I don't know what she's doing, but she seems so busy.

Am I painting this?

- Yeah. - What if I ruin it?

It's okay, I'll show you.

Watch what I do.

Just spread it evenly, like this.

- Here. - That sounds fun.

Hold on. You should tie your hair.

Let me do it for you.

You know how to tie hair?

No.

Like this.

Go!

All good now.

- Here I go. - Okay.

Get some of this...

Yes, just spread that.

You're doing great.

I think I'm better than you.

TRYING SOMETHING NEW, CHECK A DATE WITH TAE-SEOP, CHECK

- You're talented. - This is fun.

You're really getting the hang of this vacation thing.

You're not talking about work at all.

I have no time to think about work when I'm so busy.

Woodworking is like meditation.

You stop overthinking when you get in the zone.

- I get it. - Right?

You're so good.

- I think I'm actually talented. - Yeah.

You just need to keep it somewhere cool to dry for 24 hours.

I see.

I have something to show you.

- What? - Ta-da!

It's a photo!

I'll trade this for the baby photo of you I said I wanted.

Okay.

You were beautiful, even as a kid.

Were you on a trip to the beach?

Yeah, I was about seven or eight.

This was from a summer trip with my parents.

This was probably the last family trip we took together.

I remember it feeling...

so warm and wonderful.

But I don't remember anything aside from feeling that way in the moment.

Because you don't realize it's a special moment when you're a kid.

I know.

I would've cherished such a moment if I were to have it now.

I wouldn't even forget it, even if someone told me to.

Like right now.

- Right now? - Yeah.

When would I ever get a spontaneous break

and spend time with you like this

under the excuse of trying something new?

You're right. This is really precious.

I know.

Don't I look better now?

- I don't think so. - So mean!

Oh, gosh! What?

I e-mailed and texted you yesterday and today

but you didn't reply, so here I am.

Check it out.

Sorry!

I've just been all over the place.

But the contract's about to be signed

and the gift set is coming along nicely.

Hold on tight. It's the weekend soon.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's almost the weekend.

Hello, Chef.

Hyun-min.

What?

You'll need to visit the cattle farm this weekend.

What?

Sorry, there's just not enough time.

Just do a site visit and get the contract signed.

Na-ri!

How can you steal my weekend from me?

It's not like I get to rest, either!

I'll take care of everything else

so just take care of the farm for me.

Alright...

Ui-yeong!

I miss you.

- Ui-yeong! - Oh!

Ui-yeong!

How have you been?

How are you? I missed you!

It's only been a few days.

It's like I lost my youth the moment you left.

I realized how precious you were once you left.

Let's go. I chose the best restaurant for you!

I can't wait! Let's head in.

Let's go.

The portion size is huge!

- Thanks. - Enjoy!

- It's so good. - Right?

I told you it was good.

Did you really want to see me just to grab dinner together?

The office feels so empty without you.

All I do is work when I'm not sleeping.

I don't even have time to see my new boyfriend.

Na-ri told me to visit the cattle farm for a site visit

and to sign the contract over the weekend.

But I've never signed a contract alone

so I wanted to ask you a few questions.

Where's the farm?

Sokcho, Gangwon-do.

Sokcho...

You want me to go with you?

Really?

You're treating me to a good dinner

and I might as well make a trip out of it.

I'd love to have you join me!

I'll book our hotel and buses.

Just bring yourself.

And I won't bother you in our free time.

Okay, let's go together.

You're an angel!

- Eat up! - Okay.

I'm home.

Where were you?

I had dinner with a coworker.

I see.

Are you getting a physical?

Yeah.

You want to watch a movie if you're free this weekend?

No, I can't.

I need to go to Sokcho to sign a contract.

My colleague's too scared to do it alone.

On your last weekend off?

That should get you ready for Monday, at least.

I guess so.

I can't believe my vacation's ending.

HKUH CENTER FOR CANCER RESEARCH DONATION AWARDING CEREMONY

You'll hand out the certificates to the big donors

and take photos with them, which will be published in an article.

I think you left my wife off the guest list.

Did she not tell you?

She called and said she'd donate the amount she promised

but would not be attending the event.

I see.

- Okay, then. - Okay.

HKUH CENTER FOR CANCER RESEARCH DONATION AWARDING CEREMONY

The caller is unavailable.

Please record your message after the beep.

CALL HISTORY

At least I know she's being selective about who to answer.

Come in.

You can leave it.

SEOUL FAMILY COURT

SEOUL FAMILY COURT

COMPLAINT FILED BY SON JEONG-A AGAINST SHIN JI-HUN

- Thank you. - Come again.

Sorry.

Hello.

- Ji-su! - Yeah?

I've been a fan of yours forever.

- Could I have your autograph? - Of course. What's your name?

It's Song Cheol.

Please write "For Cheol" and today's date, too.

Thank you!

You can drink and eat whatever you want.

Ji-su, don't let her pay, okay?

I'll take one hand-drip coffee. Hot.

Don't you have other cafes in Seoul you can go to?

What happened to doing your best to avoid me?

I came to tell you something.

It wasn't anything to text you about.

I'm not interested.

You're so cold.

I'm getting a divorce.

What?

Are you serious?

You seem quite shaken for someone who isn't interested.

We're processing it quietly.

You acted like Romeo and Juliet.

And it's over, just like that?

I didn't expect a disappointing ending when I fell in love.

But I recently found out

that he lied to get with me.

I checked your mother's medical record with my own eyes.

He was seeing me while she was undergoing chemo.

I had no idea.

No

maybe I just let myself be blinded.

When you're deeply in love

you want to reject the truth, no matter how desperately it knocks.

Love that makes you numb to someone else's pain.

Isn't it disgusting?

But...

the truth feels so important now.

I'm sorry.

After all that?

I'm sorry it took me so long.

I'm really sorry.

I mean it.

- Hello, Director. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello, Director.

- Hey. - Yeah?

You really sure about his outfit?

He looks like a model, not a new detective.

I'll ask the stylist to make his hair and outfit look more natural.

Go to the dressing room in ten.

Okay.

So, you're the one who got hired because of Jeong-a.

Sorry?

I hear she's considering another project over this director's.

Oh, she got you a role before she ditched him!

No wonder the director's bitter.

But he's handsome.

Are you leaving on Saturday and returning on Sunday?

Yeah, I'll just visit the farm and travel around the area.

Oh, the beach in the photo I gave you is in Sokcho.

I want to go since it's been so long.

I see.

Why don't I tag along?

You?

You have to get back to work soon

so it'll be nice to go on a trip, even if it's short.

Or would I be a nuisance?

SONG TAE-SEOP

Oh, no.

We're hanging out after work, anyway.

I'll go when you're done.

Let's go to the beach, eat some good food

and I'll drive you back on Sunday.

Sounds good.

This is exciting.

- Okay. - Bye.

Our first overnight trip?

Mom! I'm heading out.

Oh, okay.

It's an overnight trip, right?

Yeah, don't skip your meals.

And it's okay to see a movie alone, too.

Alright, get going.

- Okay, bye! - Bye.

Ui-yeong!

Hey.

Thanks so much for tagging along.

It's nothing. It'll be nice to go to the beach and all.

Alright, it's a trip, then! Let's go!

Let's go!

- They're tiger cattle from Gangwon-do. - I see.

The meat is very firm and juicy.

Look at them. They're different from regular cows.

You see the dark ones?

They're different from the other cows.

- Look at that one. - Yeah.

LICENSE FOR LIVESTOCK ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION

PATENT, PRODUCT REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE

You can read it one last time

- and sign it if it's okay. - Okay.

- What are you doing? - Hey.

He's my son. He helps me with the farm.

They're from the hotel.

Hello.

My father is a very hardworking farmer. I look forward to working with you.

We'll do our best, too.

Thank you.

HANKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

You must be tired.

I'm exhausted.

Oh, no.

What should we eat after?

- Maybe chueotang? - Sounds good.

It was so good last time.

- I know. - Ms. Park Jeong-im.

- Yes. - Please head to the MRI room.

Okay.

The two suites are far from each other. Is that okay?

There are two twin rooms that are close to each other.

It's okay. Double suites are better.

Of course, we can text each other if we need.

The bigger the bed, the better.

- Yeah. - Okay, I'll give you the keys.

- Here. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

What do you want to do for dinner?

If you're okay...

Don't mind me at all. You can enjoy your alone time.

Sure, then.

Tae-seop!

Hey, Ui-yeong.

- Let's go to the beach first. - Sounds good!

- In the pool? I'll get you a floatie. - Yeah.

It's stunning.

It looks like a snow-covered mountain.

Yeah, it looks like a mountain.

With snow on top.

I hear something!

Check it out!

Ui-yeong!

This is just the best.

Does the beach look the same as it did when you were a kid?

I don't think anything's changed.

I guess the ocean doesn't age.

I guess not.

Maybe that's why I feel so calm when I look at the ocean.

Your feet are covered in sand now.

It's fine. I can dust it off.

This is what I love about you.

Hmm? What?

When you take a dog on a walk

you see them running to their favorite things

regardless of their feet getting wet or dirty.

That's the loveliest thing about them.

Aud you're the same.

And I love this about you.

Hmm?

You find every little thing about me so cute and lovable.

That makes me want to show you more of myself.

I love that.

The farmer recommended a sashimi restaurant. You want to go?

Sounds good.

Is Hyun-min not having dinner?

Maybe she's sleeping. She hasn't checked my texts.

What?

Here.

That was fun.

YEONGGEUM SEAFOOD

Sorry! We're closed for the day.

- Sorry? - We have a 100-group limit. Try tomorrow.

Oh, no, we came from far away, though.

We're heading back tomorrow.

Sorry about that.

This is so sad.

Should we look for another spot? I saw a lot of seafood restaurants around.

We have no choice. Let's go.

Oh?

- Why? - Tae-seop

it looks like we can eat here.

Oh!

- Ah! - Ah!

- Ui-yeong! - Look at that.

I thought you were sleeping, but you were sneaking your guy along!

I don't think I'm the only one killing two birds with one stone here.

That explains what you said when we were checking in...

The bed...

Wait!

So, my Min is colleagues with Ui-yeong?

Yeah, Jun, how do you know Ui-yeong?

"Min" and "Jun"? My gosh.

I helped you two save your relationship.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- So, you were Choco Killer. - Yeah.

Let me make you a ssam to thank you.

No need for that. Please just get along. Don't fight.

Even if you fight, don't call me, okay?

We'll make sure that doesn't happen.

- Ah! - Ah.

What a cutie!

So, you knew each other for years, right?

How was my Jun in college?

Was he super popular? Did he have fan girls following him?

I know he looks like a human now

but you wouldn't have wanted to date him if you'd met him college, either.

Excuse me.

- You were a total loser, too! - Hey!

But Ui-yeong was so smart in school.

She knew how to find seats at the library, get cheap coffee

and even sign up for a savings account for a house.

We were basically friends for survival.

That's right.

I knew Ui-yeong was always smart!

My Jun! You were such a good friend! What a cutie.

You're a cutie, too, my Min.

Here's your favorite, Min.

- Say ah! - Ah!

YEONGGEUM SEAFOOD

How about an afterparty at a karaoke bar?

- That hurts. - We should head back to the hotel.

You want to do that?

We'll just take a walk before we go.

I want to take you somewhere.

Where? Ouch!

You're going to rip my side out!

Okay, see you in Seoul.

Okay, see you.

- I'll text you. Bye. - Bye.

- Bye. - Have a good night!

You too!

They look so good together.

- Bye! - Goodnight!

- Bye! Drive safely! - Bye!

Shouldn't they be in their honeymoon phase?

But I feel like they'd go

"Tilt your head to the right, and I'll go the other way"

when they kiss, right?

Why? I think they look cute together.

I haven't seen Ui-yeong so relaxed around someone in forever.

- And you know what Tae-seop said? - Hmm?

- I'm ready to pay. - Okay.

- We'll pay with this card. - Okay.

This is my first trip with Ui-yeong.

I want to spend some time alone with her

- so is it okay if we go on our own later? - Sure.

My heart skipped a beat, and I'm a man.

That's a real man.

- You think so? - Yeah.

Ready to go?

- Shall we? - Let's go!

That's stunning.

Is this where you wanted to come?

I want to ride it!

I knew it was a view spot, but it's so tall.

We don't need to get on it. We can just...

look at it.

You can see the ocean and the city at once!

That's so cool.

Oh, you can see everything...

It would've been awesome if there were fireworks by the beach.

There's always fireworks at the beach, you know?

Oh, right. Yeah.

You've been a bit off since earlier.

What do you mean?

Are you scared?

No, I'm not scared at all.

Yeah, you are!

- Here. - Hmm?

I'll hold your hands.

Not scary anymore, right?

I don't know...

I guess it's not helping.

Here. Just look at me.

Not scary anymore, right?

Not at all.

- Look far away. - Far away? Where?

Over there. Not up. Look at the view.

I didn't know you'd booked a room for yourself.

I thought you might be sharing a room with Hyun-min.

I guess I get it.

It's so slow.

Yeah.

The door is opening.

Goodnight. I'll call you later.

Wait.

Sure, I booked another room

but I didn't say we'd sleep separately.

What?

Let's...

stay together tonight.

- Are you up? - Yeah.

We should get ready to leave now.

No! I don't want to.

Let's stay here for a bit more.

Just a bit more.

This is so nice.

I really don't want to leave.

- But we have to go. - Okay, in just a bit!

I'm heading down now. I'll see you at the reception.

Oh?

Oh, gosh.

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Huh?

- Oh, it's all torn. - Just a sec.

Could I get a paper bag, please?

Here you go, sir.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, Ui-yeong.

- Dad! - Oh?

Ui-yeong! What are you doing here?

What?

Your father?

Yeah.

Huh?

LEE TAE-SUNG

What brings you here?

I thought you were in Gyeongju.

Yeah, but there's a new line being built to Sokcho.

And I'm here for a workshop.

So, are you two on a trip?

No.

I had to come here for work, so he just tagged along.

Who knew this would happen?

I can't believe I'm meeting your boyfriend.

Well, I didn't bring him here to meet you. It was a coincidence.

Right.

That's even more surprising.

Maybe this is meant to be!

Do you like Tae-seop because he looks like me?

- What? - Just look!

Tae-seop and Tae-sung. Our names sound similar.

We look alike, too.

He has a small face with clear skin and long limbs.

He also has kind eyes, and...

You really haven't changed a bit.

Of course.

Like the fact that you're my daughter, no matter how old you become.

I've been thinking a lot about the old days lately.

I missed a lot of important moments

over trivial things in my life.

I should've done everything to stay with you and your mom.

Hold on.

- I'd better get going. - Okay.

- Take this. - No, it's fine.

- No, you sent me fruit, too. Here. - No.

It's fine.

Use this to pay for gas

and get Ui-yeong some chocolate, her favorite.

Let's meet more often.

I'll really do my best.

- Bye. - Yeah.

Goodbye, sir.

Are you okay?

It's so fascinating

how uncomfortable I am

yet my dad acts like we've been close this whole time.

He seems very cheerful and kind.

He's always been like that.

But maybe you only saw the best of him

because we met him on his good day.

I see.

What's your mother like?

- My mom? - Yeah.

She has quite the temper.

She's rational, always standing up for what's right

and she's no easier on her family.

They're really different.

I see why it must've been hard to live together.

And I respect their decision.

That was a really great trip, all thanks to you.

Same.

I've traveled a lot for work

but this is my first real vacation in five or six years.

I usually just do nothing at home.

I'm not the type to travel around by myself.

I see.

Five to six years ago?

Who did you travel with then?

Should we book the same days off for the next vacation?

Yeah, so who did you travel with?

- Next month? - Tell me.

Tell me who you went on your last trip with!

Or maybe the month after?

I'll let you off the hook today.

Thanks.

Are you going back to work tomorrow?

Yeah, I am.

But I'm extra sad to say goodbye after spending so much time together.

Hug me before you go, then.

- That was so much fun. - I don't want to go.

- Let's go again soon. - Okay.

- Drive safely. - Okay.

Ui-yeong?

Mom!

"Mom"?

You're kidding me. First, Dad, and now, Mom?

What's in the air today?

Who are you?

Mom, he's...

He's my boyfriend.

She's my mom.

- Hello. - Hello.

He was just about to leave!

- You should get going. - What? But...

- I can't just leave... - You're busy! Go!

- Hey... - Go!

Let's head in.

- I'm exhausted. - Goodbye.

- Bye! - Okay, bye.

- Go! - See you around.

- Okay. - Bye.

Oh, gosh.

I need to rest.

So

you've been seeing someone, huh?

I met him on a blind date and started dating him.

It was pretty recent.

I was going to tell you, but you seemed busy.

I didn't know if you were even curious.

Why wouldn't I be curious?

You chose him after millions of blind dates.

Don't tell me he's the carpoor guy.

- Huh? - Is he?

Why couldn't you have found yourself a proper guy?

That was all a misunderstanding.

Tae-seop isn't carpoor

and he's really great.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Bring him home one day, then. Let me meet him.

Hmm? Why?

I want to know why he even likes you

and you know I have a good eye for people.

You?

You really want to meet him?

Yeah, set a date and tell me. I'm serious.

Okay, then.

- I'm getting groceries. - Okay.

So, she wants me to bring you home.

It's too much, right?

No, I'm fine with that.

I was so surprised earlier that I couldn't introduce myself properly.

And I'm sure it doesn't sit right with you that I've only met your dad.

Yeah, that's true.

How about next Saturday, then?

Sure, that sounds good.

What does she like?

My mom?

Well...

Her favorite thing is alcohol.

Alcohol...

So, why don't you buy her second-favorite thing, flowers?

Oh, yeah, I'll do that.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Alcohol...

SONG TAE-SEOP

By the way, can you check inside your bag?

I'm glad to have shared the time with you. Let's love like the ocean.

DINNER WITH MOM AND TAE-SEOP

DINNER WITH MOM AND TAE-SEOP

Welcome back, Ui-yeong.

- Na-ri! - Did you have a good break?

Yeah, all thanks to your understanding.

The gift set is all ready now

and you can get updates on everything else at the meeting.

Okay.

And you know I'm the team leader while Mr. Oh is on probation, right?

You can just call me Ms. Jung.

- Let's work hard. - Okay.

Ms. Jung...

Hey, Na-ri! Are those prescription glasses?

Of course, they are.

Let's work hard, okay?

She seems to be really enjoying her time as a temporary team leader.

Hmm? Is something bothering you?

Why the long face?

My mom accidentally saw me with Tae-seop.

Now, she wants me to invite him to our house.

Don't all parents do that? Maybe she really likes him.

Yeah, all parents do that, but not my mom.

It's so odd.

What's going on?

Ms. Park Jeong-im.

Oh, here.

I got a health check-up done

and the MRA showed signs of a cerebral aneurysm.

Do you get headaches or dizzy often?

No, nothing noticeable.

I also have no family history of it.

It's more common for them to be asymptomatic.

Some discover them through check-ups, like you

and others discover them when they rupture and cause a hemorrhage.

Cerebral hemorrhage?

Just in the worst case.

Its risk depends on the size and the location

so let's do a detailed check-up.

Try to sleep well for the next few days

and stay away from alcohol, smoking, and stressful environments.

Okay.

Jeong-im?

- Jeong-im! - Yeah.

Did you go to the doctor? What did he say?

He wants me to get some further testing.

Oh, gosh.

Have you told your daughter yet?

Not yet.

I'll tell her once I'm sure of it after the check-up.

And I'm seeing her boyfriend this weekend.

Is she seeing someone?

After all those blind dates!

I caught the two hugging.

You know

I just invited him for a meal to see if he was a good guy.

You need to tell her soon. She'll be so shocked to hear it later.

You're covered by insurance.

It's not about the money. I just don't want to worry her.

If I weren't alone

she wouldn't have had to bear the worry alone.

Are you not going to tell your husband?

What? My husband?

We've lived apart for 20 years. I'd rather fight whatever this is alone.

There's no way I'm asking him for help.

Yeah, that makes more sense.

Is this a sauna or what? Everyone's sighing

and the air feels so gloomy.

I'm meeting Ui-yeong's mother this weekend.

You guys are that serious already? That's so fast!

You want my secret that stole my mother-in-law's heart?

What?

It's like a blind date, but different.

It's not about impressing her.

It's about the actions you make to show that you're trying.

- Actions... - Mother-in-laws love

seeing their son-in-laws trying to impress them.

I got flowers, her favorite, and planned my outfit.

Okay, here's what you do.

"I prepared flowers because I heard you love them

and tried to dress up for the occasion. Is this okay?"

That's what you say, okay?

Shouldn't I sound more confident?

No, listen. "I prepared flowers for you

and dressed up today. Do I look okay?"

That doesn't sound human enough.

You have to make it really clear that you're making an effort.

- You really don't get it. Next. - Got it.

Oh, my liver isn't ready.

Apparently, she loves to drink.

You should take at least two hangover pills before you go.

- Two? - Yeah.

Even if you get tipsy, try not to act like it.

And show enthusiastic reactions whenever she talks.

Answer her loud and clear. Don't get too shy.

- Loud and clear. - Blink your eyes

and go, "Yes!"

- I'm not sure about that. - Yeah, that was bad.

Alright.

My gosh.

Can you do that more regularly?

It's like you're trying to rip the floor up.

Come on.

Goodness.

Why are you putting everything away? We use them!

It needs to be a bit messy to feel like a home.

But we don't need to show that today.

- Huh? - And Mom

don't ask him uncomfortable questions, alright?

And try not to sound too cold.

Try to be nice and friendly, okay?

- Happy now? - Yeah.

Good for someone who never smiles.

Mom! Why is there no rice?

It'd be poor hospitality if I cooked the lunch myself.

- I know what to eat. - What?

Oh, I'd better order it now.

- Is he allergic to anything? - No, he's not.

- I'm getting eobokjaengban, then. - Okay.

- Where's my phone? - I told you to put the towel away!

Seriously.

And the water!

Oh! I have to get rid of the drinks.

Oh, right.

Huh? He's early.

Mom! I think Tae-seop's here!

Coming!

Dad?

Hi, Ui-yeong.

Alright.

It's been a minute.

Ui-yeong.

Tae-seop.

Oh, you're here!

- Come in. - Yes, sir.

- Hello. - Hello.

We keep running into each other.

It seems like you're meant to be around for a long time.

THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO LOVE

A DATE WITH TAE-SEOP

LET'S LOVE LIKE THE OCEAN

LET'S STAY TOGETHER TONIGHT

That wasn't just for you to meet Tae-seop.

It was also for him to get to know you.

I'm really fine.

Today was just not meant to be.

Why don't you stay here for a while?

Ui-yeong! Why is he driving you to work?

Ji-su.

How do you two know each other?

Are you out right now?

What misunderstanding?

Mom!

- Mom! - She...

fainted in the lobby.

It's all my fault.
