Original subtitles

My mom was against it, but I begged her.

I asked if it wanted to follow me home, and it did.

I also used to be sick when I was young.

My dog reminds me of myself.

I tried really hard to find the owner,

but the owner never showed up.

It cried all night.

It was so small and black.

I used to be a bit depressed.

My dog saved my life.

She was born at my house.

She was so little and couldn't open her eyes. She was adorable.

I adopted my dog after I saw his mother.

I was supposed to take care of it for just a few days.

But it grew on me.

Her name is Winter.

He's four years old.

He was wandering in the rain.

Her ears were so clean.

He was so adorable.

She has a big appetite.

She's so cute and adorable.

He gets scared easily.

She is a puppy-like cat.

Give it to me.

I said give it to me.

No, not you.

Why not?

Because you don't like...

cats.

You're right. I don't like them.

You should be grateful.

I should just take a shower.

I really hate cats.

I hate guys who are like cats.

(“A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem.”)

(Episode 1)

Sol Ah! Sol Ah!

Hey, Sol Ah!

Sol Ah!

Kim Sol Ah!

Sol Ah!

Here's your breakfast.

I have good news. Guess what it is.

I was so excited that I couldn't even sleep properly.

So I just got up...

and ran over here.

Can you guess? Try and guess what it is.

You're curious, aren't you? Make a guess.

There are two types of people.

People who are like dogs.

I don't think I can wait. I'm just going to tell you.

And...

Your Beodeul Love is back.

And jerks who are like cats.

Kim Sol Ah, Jae Seon broke up with his girlfriend.

Your Beodeul Love broke up with...

Thanks for the food.

Please thank your mom for me.

See you at work. Bye.

Hey, be careful so that you don't crash into anything.

He broke up with his girlfriend?

So what? That's none of my business.

Lee Jae Seon?

Who is that?

Dad, I'll be off now.

There's also a cat living at my house.

A Persian who's always sitting by the sunny window.

(Cat, Persian)

Mr. Kim Soo Pyung, the poet in our family.

You never eat unless I make sure you do.

There we go.

Here you go.

I'm not hungry.

Don't forget that you have a swimming class starting today.

I'm not interested.

Here. Try this on.

Wait. Why is this so...

Here. I also got you a trendy swimsuit.

All the ladies at the pool will fall head over heels for you.

I said I'm not interested.

You're never interested.

Will you just go?

You need to work out, find yourself a hobby,

and go outside from time to time.

I need to go now. Anyway, make sure you go.

I don't care what you do. Just do something, okay?

There’s one thing I’m interested in.

What is it?

What is it that you want to do?

Go ahead and do it. What is it?

Marriage.

What? “Marriage”?

Find yourself a new place.

Gosh, already?

You can't even do anything without me.

How will you get by on your own if I get married?

I was talking about myself.

I want to get married.

What?

So find a place for yourself.

Cats are so hard...

to read.

(Nalsaem Design)

Hye Yeon, did the vice-president tell us to do this?

I don't think this is the right one.

Why isn't Kim Sol Ah here yet?

Oh, my gosh!

Why would you sneak up like that?

- You startled me. - I see.

This is for you.

(The cafe logo design draft is due before noon.)

The cafe logo design draft is due before noon.

You could've just told me.

Cats are everywhere.

Here's your morning coffee.

- You're here. - Yes.

- Here. - Thank you.

- Take your coffee, everyone. - Thanks.

My son woke me up in the middle of the night.

Who told you to do this? Don't do stuff like this.

Exactly.

Your competence is what matters these days.

- Did you add an extra shot? - Yes.

Ji Eun.

Why don't you join us for coffee?

We're all gathered over there. Come on.

- It's okay. - No, come on.

She should just leave her there. I don't think she wants to join.

She always eats lunch by herself as well.

Do you think she brings something delicious for lunch?

I think it's for the better.

She eats really slowly.

Is she a cow or what? She chews for so long.

Gosh, you startled me.

What?

Hey, wait.

She used connections to work here.

What do you mean?

Eun Ji Eun got a job here thanks to the president.

Otherwise, why would the vice-president care so much...

about someone who's so unsociable?

- Are you guys talking about me? - Ms. Park.

When you talk behind people's backs, you should only say good things.

And try to learn things from others.

- Okay. - That's the only way you'll grow.

Right.

Ms. Park, you look great in that outfit.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to be so kind to me...

regarding things that are irrelevant to work.

You get nothing back from cats even if you're kind to them.

I can't believe your dad wants to get married.

Who is the lady?

Probably some lady who got tons of plastic surgery.

Or someone rich who also has a strong personality.

Or maybe she's a skilled gold-digger.

You're being hostile.

What's your problem? Your dad is in love.

And now, it's your turn.

I heard Jae Seon is going to start a cafe.

Good for him. Although it has nothing to do with me.

Do you know what it's going to be called?

"Sonamu".

Kim Sol Ah.

Don't you see the connection?

You're being ridiculous.

- Don't you want to meet him? - No, why would I meet him?

Hey, Jae Seon.

You do want to meet him.

And you want to die, right?

Hey, come on.

You guys knew each other for so long. Lee Ru Bi?

He only dated her for a year, and they're done for good.

They dated for 10 months.

My gosh, you even kept count?

Jae Seon dated other girls too.

Why are you trying to cut ties?

By any chance,

did something happen between you two?

Why do you always sit behind me like that?

Why are you always here?

You know why.

That's why...

you always come join me.

How long is this going to last?

What do you mean?

We're not exactly sitting next to each other.

But at the same time, we kind of are.

What am I...

to you?

"What am I to you?"

Don't tell me you said something like that to him.

- I would never. - I guess you're right.

You lack common sense, but it's not that bad.

Hey, what's so bad about that?

It's even worse not being able to say that.

Then go ahead and say it. There he is.

Hey, Jae Seon.

He'll probably stand there with a straight face trying to look cool.

I bet he'll look at me with his sparkly eyes...

and say this with his low voice.

"Long time no see."

Long time no see.

You said you wanted coffee.

That's his cafe. It opened today.

Hey, Sol Ah. Are you leaving?

Hey, don't go.

I had the same dream again.

My first memory.

And in that memory,

I was a human.

Why won't you make a sound?

Will I hear something if I press the button?

[VIU Ver] KBS2 E01 'Meow, the Secret Boy' "Meow, the Secret Boy" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Maybe it's not even a memory.

Maybe it was just a dream.

Gosh, no.

Sol Ah.

(Sol Ah)

Sonamu.

(Sonamu)

They're kind of similar.

Sonamu.

(Sonamu)

Kim Sol Ah.

(Kim Sol Ah)

What am I...

to you?

You want to know...

what you are to me?

You're...

Kim Sol Ah.

You're Kim Sol Ah.

What's with your face?

What? What are you talking about?

I didn't expect that from you.

What?

Expect what?

You're blushing.

Then he never called.

He fell for someone rich.

I shouldn't go. If I go,

then I'm a dog. Not just a dog but a mad dog.

(Sonamu)

You're here.

I had to come by at least once.

We're friends. And I'm the designer.

So, the sign's okay,

and the interior might go out of fashion but it's fresh.

I'm done looking. I should go now. Bye.

Jae Seon!

Sol Ah's here.

Hey.

He must be busy.

Let's sit over here.

Aren't you proud of him?

He set up all this on his own while you were apart.

Drink this and go.

Thank you.

What? "Go"?

Drink this and then go.

That is just harsh.

Why is he so frigid when he shouldn't be?

No. He acts all frigid,

but Jae Seon waited for you all along.

Oh, really?

Yes. Look at him.

He was like that for a while.

Staring out the window.

He's waiting and waiting.

He's still...

waiting.

Who is he waiting for?

Wait here.

Hey. Who are you waiting for?

I doubt he'll come.

You mean...

That woman Ru Bi?

Jae Seon. Is that who you're waiting for?

No.

Hey, what's this? A present for her?

- I said no. - As if it's not.

Look at it.

It has the initials too.

K. Y. Lee.

Who's that?

My English may be poor, but I know it's not Ru Bi.

My father.

He still won't see you?

When did you quit studying law abroad to learn leather crafting?

Hasn't it been 6, 7 years already?

It's time he got over it.

I'm the pitiful one, so why is he so pitiful?

A human...

could open the door and leave.

Sergei. I told you not to scratch the door.

Do you know how much all the furniture you ruined cost?

Let's go out.

If you want to leave that much.

My future in-laws detest cats.

Take it.

(Devoted Mr. Gogalbi)

I'm serious.

I said no!

I can't put a cat in charge of fish.

Please, Mom. Just for a few days.

- Why... - Say yes.

It's just for a few days.

A few days? A few days?

Let's say we take in the cat for a few days.

Will fur get on my clothes or not?

Will fur get in the doenjang stew we serve or not?

Then can we run a business or not?

Ma'am.

I'll look after it in my room.

As if!

Do you know how much work that is?

It's a no.

No. I said no!

(Devoted Mr. Gogalbi)

Where's Jae Seon? Did he leave?

Yes.

Are they both dumped by her?

Kim Sol Ah.

You take it.

Her cat?

It's Jae Seon's cat. He bought it for her,

and she returned it.

Then he should keep it.

You know he can't keep it.

Don't you feel bad for him?

He won't be able to ask anyone else.

There's no one but us.

What? You don't feel sorry for him?

Oh, forget it.

What is it called?

It doesn't have a name?

Something like Kitty or Meowster?

Sergei.

"Sergei"?

What kind of name is that?

Sergei Rachmaninoff.

What kind of name is that for a cat?

Did she name it?

Are you crying?

I'm not crying.

Look at you.

Lee Jae Seon's crying over a woman.

It's not over a woman.

Then what is it about?

I'm allergic to cats.

Hand it over.

Hand it over.

No. Not to you.

Why not me?

You don't like...

cats.

Yes. I don't like them.

He should be thanking me.

A human?

It's not a dream?

If I really turned into a human...

That feels nice.

When did you crawl out?

Don't tell me you already got used to the place.

You'd better not get comfortable.

I'm only going to take care of you...

until I find someone who will adopt you.

So I don't want you to get too comfortable.

Make sure you stay uncomfortable.

Hey, get back on the floor.

My gosh, are you serious?

What's the matter with you?

Hey.

Get off the bed.

Get off the bed.

Will you... Hey! My gosh!

This is why I hate cats.

(Episode 2 will air shortly.)

(Episode 2)

Sol Ah, is that you?

Do you know how surprised I was around dawn?

That's odd.

I showed him to you last night.

I'm home.

Hey.

I'm home.

Close the door.

You don't even look at me.

My gosh.

We shouldn't let just any beast in the house.

And it's okay to let just any person in?

I never said I'd let her in this house.

Who is it?

Hello. We're here to see the place.

What?

Come on up.

What...

Are you selling the apartment?

I decided to...

move to the countryside with her.

My goodness.

How could you make that decision without talking to me?

I thought for a long time before I made the decision.

- So... - So why...

did you think about it yourself when I live here too?

What am I to you, Dad?

I really didn't want to say this.

You fell for a gold-digger.

You don't know how the world works.

You taught poetry writing at a culture center.

Are you trying to lose what little you have to your name?

- Kim Sol Ah. - I take back saying...

you can do anything you want. Don't get married.

You'll sell the apartment to make a fresh start?

I'm sorry, but you can't do it.

Because I won't leave this apartment.

I got kicked out and ended up with...

someone who's about to get kicked out.

You're an adult, not a kid. Smile and give your blessing.

I'm angry with how he's doing it, not what he's doing.

He couldn't bring himself to tell you.

He was considerate so you wouldn't get hurt.

Oh, really? He kept his mouth shut,

then gave me an ultimatum. Is that considerate?

Yes.

The color of the cafe logo.

Change it from hot pink to indian pink.

My gosh, Ko Doo Sik.

Someone's so considerate to you as well.

Ji Eun.

Do you dislike me?

What?

How much must you dislike me to not want to talk to me?

I thought my breath smelled bad, so I had my teeth scaled last week.

I gargled with mouthwash for hours.

- Hey. - Leave me alone.

I had a lot of messages to relay.

In case I got mixed up...

What's wrong with hot pink?

Is it because you know I like hot pink?

It is, isn't it?

You dislike hot pink because you dislike me, don't you?

No, it's...

I asked her to change it. Why? Is there a problem?

Then shall we change it?

Indian pink?

I really don't understand why people like...

this whitish color.

Look at this hot pink color.

It's nice and dark, and everyone likes it.

There's no reason to think about it. It's a given.

Flirting? No need.

Playing hard to get? No way.

I like you for sure!

This color is talking to me.

"Do you like me?"

"Do you like me?"

"Do you like me?"

I do.

Who wants to raise a cat?

My son is only three months old now.

Cats shed too much fur.

Kittens are cute, but I'm not fond of grown-up cats.

Why don't you just raise it?

I don't like cats.

Why do you not like them?

Well, they don't come to me when I call them like dogs...

and just do as they please.

Still, isn't it cute when they come near you sneakily?

They purr lovingly next to you at one point...

but suddenly disappear as if nothing happened.

I really can't trust them.

There are many stray cats, but there aren't many stray dogs.

Why do you think that is?

They're too wary...

and spying on people secretly annoys me too.

- That's because they're cautious. - No, they're too suspicious.

They consider people as servants who do their chores.

No, was it a can opener that opens their food for them?

I've heard of dogs saving people,

but cats can never become animals that protect someone.

They're merely selfish traitors that only think of survival...

at a critical moment.

Wait, sir. Isn't this the man who lives in unit 605?

What happened? Did you call an ambulance?

- Who is the guardian? - Oh, here...

- He was here just now. - We'll have to go for now.

(119 Emergency Services)

You know so much about cats.

Doesn't that mean you like them?

- Let's go. - Hello?

The hospital?

- Where is Mr. Kim Soo Pyung? - Over there.

What happened? I heard you fainted.

What about work?

- You didn't have to come. - Who else would...

Sol Ah.

What an unexpected coincidence.

It's so poetic.

It's nice to see you.

I met your dad...

at the culture center while learning poetry.

My name is Bang Sil.

"I am a thread. and you are a needle."

"I shall enter your narrow door."

It's my favorite poem I wrote.

Your dad criticized it harshly...

but he eventually became my needle.

- Right, Mr. Kim? - Yes.

Patient Kim Soo Pyung?

- Yes. - Yes.

I have your test results.

Is it because of arrhythmia? Bradyarrhythmia?

Oh, yes. You're right.

It's dangerous if it's bad enough to make him faint,

so...

You want to recommend using a cardiac pacemaker?

But he doesn't want to attach a machine on his chest.

I told you. You should listen to me.

You should be admitted for some more tests...

and get ready for the procedure tomorrow.

- Okay. - Wait. What is going on?

Why is my dad's heart...

Attach what on his chest?

Don't worry, Sol Ah. It's a very simple procedure.

- Right, sir? - Yes.

Well, then.

I told you, Mr. Kim. You heard him, right?

Right?

But who brought me to the hospital?

I heard the security guard called the ambulance.

I have no memory of coming outside the house.

When did I come out?

I only remember a cat.

Goodness.

[VIU Ver] KBS2 E02 'Meow, the Secret Boy' "Sol Ah Finds Out About Her Dad's Illness" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What...

Are you all right?

Shall we meet up?

I'm fine.

Can you manage being alone?

Shall I send Jae Seon over?

(Shall I send Jae Seon over?)

Don't you dare.

Lee Jae Seon?

Don't look at my face. It's a mess.

I'm okay. Dad will be fine too.

Tonight, his girlfriend will stay with...

I mean, my dad's fiancee.

They're moving to the countryside for my dad's health.

She's called Bang Sil.

She's so smiley.

Dad looked like he'd lost a few screws and grinned too.

Why am I telling you this?

Anyway, I'm okay.

You can go.

You're just like him. You're a cat.

Cats all disappear whenever they want to.

Without a word.

I mean, they think they're being considerate.

In case I'll worry that he's sick?

That I'll say he's a burden?

If I'd never found out,

I'd have gotten kicked out without knowing anything.

I'd have gotten angry with Dad and yelled at him.

When he's sick.

His heart beats slower than average and I didn't know.

I'm so darn grateful that he's considerate.

This is why I dislike cats.

You disappeared when you wanted to,

and now you're back trying to comfort me.

It's fine, so get lost.

Go.

I told you to go.

He really came back.

My Beodeul Love.

You won't go when I tell you to.

You never came to me when I waited for you.

Did you have...

a reason you couldn't share as my dad has?

Darn. I'm talking to myself again.

Say something.

(Jae Seon)

Lee Jae Seon?

Hey, Jae Seon. Where are you?

Why are you there?

Just a while ago, you were...

right here.

I was in my workshop all day.

Then you didn't hear anything I said...

Who was I talking to?

Kim Sol Ah. Are you there?

Yes. I'm here.

Where's Sergei?

Next to me.

Are you sure he's okay?

He's right here, but...

Why is he here?

This won't work.

You can't keep Sergei.

Gosh. You do feel bad then?

You should be.

You should feel bad that I'm caring for that woman's cat.

That's not the reason.

I'm uncomfortable leaving him with you.

What do you mean?

Are you more worried about her cat than me?

Is your door locked at all times?

Cats can disappear in a split second.

- Well... - You might never find him again.

If you're that concerned, find someone to adopt him.

I am looking, and I'll find someone as soon as possible.

Don't abandon him this time.

I beg of you.

What?

What did he mean?

Who will abandon him?

I should be the one to say that.

Hey, cat.

Did you see the person next to me?

How are you out here?

Can you not talk? Answer me.

Why won't you make a sound?

Will you make a sound if I press you here?

Beep.

Kid. What are you doing here?

Where's your mom? Are you lost?

You must feel so cold.

Here.

There. Do you feel better?

What's your name? How old are you?

Why won't you make a sound?

Will I hear something if I press the button?

Beep.

Hello.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I'll find your mom. Come with me.

It's cold, so let's go to my place first.

Wait here for a moment.

Yes, hello?

Kid.

Kid.

Kid.

Hey. I told you not to get too comfortable.

We can't stay here anymore.

We must leave.

But still,

I don't feel lonely now that I'm getting kicked out with you.

You're doing this again.

Sleep down there.

Will you stop coming up here?

It's her.

She makes me turn human.

(Meow, the Secret Boy)

He'll get the wrong idea.

It must be so tough.

You're actually surprisingly clingy.

Will you at least see me off?

Hong Jo.

Did I leave the ladder there?

I'll be right down.

Oh, no!
