[ If I meet him again, ]

[ it won't be a miracle anymore. It will be destiny. ]

[ Destiny. ]

If you don't mind,

would you like to

have dinner with me?

It looked like you were leaving because the restaurant was full.

Sure.

I haven't had anything to eat today.

I need to eat first.

Let's go.

Hello. I'll take your order.

Okay.

I'd like the tenderloin steak. Make it rare, please.

Okay.

Same for me. And give us the potato soup first.

Sure.

What do you think people perceive us as?

I'm not sure.

Well, two people having a meal together?

You know that's special, right?

This is our third meal together.

It's not completely wrong, per se.

You're right.

This is already our third meal.

You decided on the first two of our meals, so I'll decide today.

Well, I decided to have steaks.

Okay.

- Let me serve you the soup. - That's for her.

- I didn't order the soup. - This is your first meal today.

If you eat meat on an empty stomach, it'd be too much.

Take your time.

Okay.

Hold on.

The attitude toward the meal can change the taste of the food.

Follow my lead today. Okay?

All right. First, smell the food.

Butter, rosemary, black pepper,

and red wine.

This smells great.

Wait.

After that, try to see how much the steak has been seared

and the doneness of the steak.

Then, try to imagine the taste.

I'm about to die.

Pardon? Why would you die now?

If I don't eat it now, I'll starve to death.

Let's stop here for today. Dig in.

[ He didn't even touch the steak ]

[ today and back then. ]

This is great.

[ He either can't eat the steak or has no will to eat it. ]

[ He may have a mild case of depression. ]

[ It's highly likely that it's a warning sign. ]

He must really love steaks.

But this isn't that good to cry over.

I can finally breathe now.

I've had a rough day because of this crazy jerk.

A crazy jerk? How crazy is he?

Was it a behavior disorder?

Personality disorder? Affective disorder? What kind of disorder did he have?

Psychiatrist?

- Pardon? - Do you see a psychiatrist?

No. It's not that. I'm just interested in the field.

That crazy jerk... How should I put it?

[ He's the craziest of all crazy jerks. He's a mix of everything. ]

Listening to that reminds me of a crazy woman too.

How crazy is she?

Well, how should I put it?

[ She mocks people while pretending to be classy. ]

[ She fakes compliments and curses. ]

[ She groundlessly slanders and threatens. ]

The thought of her makes me shudder.

What kind of crazy

- woman is she? - Do you know what's worse?

She's still circling around me.

You must be careful with women like her. You ought to ignore her completely.

- Right? - Yes.

It scares me that she might show up in my dream.

How creepy.

[ A warning sign. ]

Excuse me for a moment. I'm going to step out.

Please eat.

What's taking him so long?

Where did he go?

Gosh.

I'm sorry. The call ran long.

Wait, your hair...

- What? - Your hair.

It was windy outside.

Do I look okay?

- Please eat some more. - I finished.

The portion here is small, isn't it?

- Please eat. - Okay. Hold on.

- Why would he do that? - Do what?

Why would he completely ignore his first love who had come back to him?

Because you came back.

You broke his heart and left him as if he was nothing to you.

And you had the audacity to come back.

What's wrong with being audacious?

You don't seem sorry about it.

Did you know

if you are too sorry, you become audacious.

I do. You can't bring yourself to say sorry.

But giving up on my love out of feeling sorry

seems cowardly.

Right. That's why I came back too.

But this isn't easy at all.

I won't ever leave him now.

I won't

ever lose her now.

[ Your first love came back to you? ]

Yes. He wants to get back together.

He said he was sorry.

Does this make sense to you?

No.

Right? It doesn't, right?

I mean, he showed up out of the blue and asked to get back together.

"I see. That's what happened."

"I see. Sure. Let's get back together."

Would you be able to say yes?

No.

I couldn't say yes either.

Right. That's how normal people would feel.

If you can do...

Your first love came back too?

Are they some kind of migratory birds? Why the heck would they

come back?

- Bye. - Go home safely.

[ I stayed in my room for two months after the breakup. ]

I blamed myself for doing wrong at first.

Then I denied everything, saying it was only a dream.

I was filled with anger thinking of ways to avenge

and then accepted the breakup.

That went on repeat.

I hope you didn't

get drunk on the streets,

singing along popular songs up to its second verse,

or laugh out loud pretending not to be heartbroken at all.

And I really hope you didn't do anything lame

like talking on the phone as if you didn't break up with your ex,

telling him things about this and that when he's not answering.

Hey.

- So this happened, right? - Right.

- Wake up, stop. - I'm okay.

- Let go. - Hey!

- Gosh. - Hey, Hae-kyong.

Where are you going?

♫ She's gone ♫

I love you...

[ I only sang up to the first verse. ]

Talking on the phone, I only did it in the very beginning.

So you did do it.

How is that lame?

A person could do something worse if they got dumped

out of the blue like that.

No, it's actually okay to do more.

They deserve a free pass to do anything.

Especially if it was...

If it was their first love.

Ah-yeong.

That was quick.

I was nearby.

Sit.

What's going on?

I want you to do a show with Do-hee.

What?

Why? Do you not want to?

No. Are you serious?

Do-hee will say no by all means.

But why me?

Because I need you.

I was going to recruit creators anyway.

Ah-yeong.

I was planning on creating

medical information content

that people can trust and consistently follow.

If we can really get this together,

your company will greatly benefit from it.

Not bad.

I'm really confident about this, Ah-yeong.

About this show and Do-hee.

[ Gol-lum ]

Let's meet just one more time.

I'll show you how to cut ties like a queen.

I'll probably never see you again.

I don't know your name or your family name.

And you have a very ordinary face

that will take about three days for me to forget.

What? I do?

Yes. You do, sir.

If I ever do see you again, I'll say,

"Oh, who are you?"

Don't be surprised if I don't recognize you.

And don't act like you know me.

Sure. We won't ever meet,

but even if we do,

don't think of it as destiny

or a miracle. Don't excite yourself.

"Destiny"?

"Miracle"?

How funny.

I'm not going to be fooled again.

I did feel comfortable around him

because he was a stranger.

Whatever.

I doubt I'll see him again.

[ If we do meet again, that will be an ill-fated relationship. ]

An ill-fated relationship wrapped up in what we call "destiny".

My point exactly.

An ill-fated relationship masked as destiny.

Our puzzling coincidences end here.

Our odd miracles end here as well.

There we go.

She's unbelievable,

but somehow, we speak the same language.

[ Gol-lum ]

[ Oh, my gosh! I'm late again! ]

Oh, right.

I forgot.

Stick it back on.

Going home after working all night?

You look so haggard like me.

I'm actually on my way to work.

What a luxurious breakfast you're having.

Black Dragon River serves the best tangsuyuk in this town.

Sichuan Castle's batter is too thick

so it's hard to taste the true flavors of the pork meat.

What a gourmet.

Tell your mom to order tangsuyuk from Black Dragon River

next time.

Is that tangsuyuk what my mom had...

Right. It's leftovers.

It's what she threw away.

She didn't throw them away. It's leftovers.

That's the same thing.

It's totally different.

You can't eat what's thrown away.

But you can eat

leftovers.

Don't eat it.

My mom gave them to you. Right.

Have a good day.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Don't say hi, just go.

[iQIYI Ver] MBC E07 'Dinner Mate' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Goodness. Look at you.

Why look at your hairdo.

Are you at your neighborhood's internet cafe or what?

I can't care about what I wear.

Things are so hard for me because of the breakup.

Although things may be hard, let's meet the bare minimum.

Well, yesterday...

Wash your face,

apply some BB cream, and come to my office.

BB cream for what?

Washing my face

will be enough for my face to glow.

Brush your teeth too.

What? Do you have something to say?

Well, yesterday, your first...

You better watch your tongue. I might pull it out and stick it on your head.

No, never mind. You should see it with your own eyes.

See what?

Do-hee, I'm sorry.

I can't help it, I'm powerless.

Gosh, So-ra made me spill toothpaste.

Good morning.

What's going on?

- Sit. - What's going on?

Sit. Let's sit down and talk, Do-hee.

You tell me, Ah-yeong.

What's going on?

I'm canceling all the B-class shows within this year.

I'm going to enhance our brand reputation

by investing in high-quality broadcasts.

Do a medical information show with Jae-hyuk.

- I'll go get Kim Hae-kyong. - We're done for that.

Kim Hae-kyong already visited our office

and caused a ruckus about getting back at you. He's done.

I'll get him.

I'll get him no matter what.

You can't do it. Forget about it.

- Just follow me, and... - Ms. Nam.

I'll get him.

I'll get him no matter what, so promise me.

- Promise you what? - If I bring Kim Hae-kyong,

get that man out of here.

- What if you fail? - You're canceling my show.

- I'll leave you to do so. - Okay.

I'm giving you two days.

You have until tomorrow. Deal?

Deal.

I did see that coming,

- but that wasn't pleasant. - Zip it.

You caught Do-hee off guard five years ago.

Get lost!

When I roamed around the streets back in middle school...

I'm sorry, Producer Woo. I'll sit.

Where's my chair?

Why that son-of-a-gun, son-of-a-punk!

What's wrong, Producer Woo?

Why are you cursing so much?

Producer Woo?

You can't say all that, you're an adult.

Pulling a badger game?

Let's knock him out at one blow.

So charming that's it's irresistible.

Who are you trying to seduce?

There's this son-of-a-gun.

- What kind of a son-of-a-gun? - Will it work or not?

Of course, it will not work. Do you think it'll work?

- Hey, you... - But you know who I am.

Trust me.

Producer... Producer Woo?

Is Dr. Kim in the office?

No. He's out for counseling.

Gosh. When will he be back?

Around 4 p.m. when he finishes a class after the counseling session.

May I wait here?

You should get some counseling, right? Make yourself at home.

- Thank you. - Sure.

[ Producer Woo is here at the clinic. ]

[ Producer Woo is here at the clinic. ]

[ If I meet her, you'll need to hand in your resignation letter. ]

[ Got it? ]

Producer Woo,

we only have counseling sessions in the morning today.

I'm going to close the clinic now. Please leave.

That son-of-a-gun.

Where can I find

that son-of-a-gun?

What? "Son-of-a-gun"?

I think you should seriously consider going to another...

I feel exactly the same way I feel when I see Dr. Kim.

Speak of the devil.

Yes, Dr. Kim.

I just made her leave.

What? An emergency?

Thank you for coming.

No, you can't!

- No! - Let go. Who are you?

Let go, let go!

Come down and talk with me. Come on.

- You can't. - Wait.

Wait.

Darn it. Then you should die with me!

- You should die with me! - No! I won't die.

Die with me.

- I'm not going to die. Let me go. - Die with me.

I... I...

- Sir. - I...

I have to go see my wife.

I miss her so much.

Honey!

I don't know what's going on, but would your wife want this?

How about your other family members?

This is not right. It's not right.

It's okay.

Come over.

Come over, it's okay.

- Help me. - It's okay.

- Sir, please! - Come here.

Come here.

- It's okay. - Wait a minute.

Who are you?

I'm a doctor.

Thank you.

- It's okay. - Goodness!

- I'm scared. Help me. - Okay.

[ She didn't come even when the steak was served. ]

So I made her hurry.

That's probably why.

The crosswalk light was turning red,

but she crossed it.

When I arrived at the hospital, she was already...

It's all my fault.

Only if I didn't make her rush.

Because the steak would've gone cold.

Right.

What was so important about the steak going cold?

It tastes the best when it's served hot.

You wanted your wife to have the tastiest steak.

You're right.

My wife really loved the steak at that place.

Couples who share meals together every day

are happier than couples who share the same bed.

That's how important it is to eat together, face to face.

We always had dinner together.

That was a big joy in my life.

Your wife would've felt the same too.

She would know how much it meant to you.

Do you really think so?

Yes.

It may take some time, but true feelings are bound to be shared.

It's been three years since she passed away,

so she would certainly know by now.

Hello.

Your steak is served.

Red wine, sir.

Enjoy your meal.

I've been to Italy as an exchange student

for about three weeks.

Please, help yourself.

Please stop blaming yourself.

The accident was not your fault, sir.

Thank you, Dr. Kim.

Enjoy.

Okay.

[ Relax Psychiatric Clinic ]

Good night, sir.

Thank you, Dr. Kim.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Should I book him after two weeks?

It will take some time, right?

Yes, since he's been suffering for a long time.

Let's put him every other week.

What about his counseling fee?

Hey. You had your steak today.

You have to consider the material and personnel cost...

Hey, I won't ask you to cover it.

So don't worry.

Oh, what did you say earlier?

"Goodbye".

No, not that. What did you say inside?

"Enjoy your meal"?

Right. What does that mean?

Enjoy your meal.

"Enjoy your meal"?

- How do you... - "Enjoy your meal".

- "Your meal"? - Yes.

- "Enjoy your meal"? - "Your meal".

Enjoy your meal. Okay.

So you're saying you didn't get Kim Hae-kyong.

It's not over yet.

I have until tomorrow.

Just give up on Kim Hae-kyong and do it with Jae-hyuk.

Use this chance to end with Jae-hyuk for good.

You over-committed yourself to Yeong-dong because you were traumatized

from the breakup with Jae-hyuk.

Date Jae-hyuk again by doing this show.

But this time, you'll be in charge.

Do what you've ever wanted to do

and dump him.

If you do that, you will overcome your trauma.

Do you think so?

Yes.

Ah-yeong. Thank you.

Thank you, my foot!

I am never going to do a show with Jae-hyuk.

[ Jin No-eul ]

Hey, Geon-u.

Hey, I'm almost done with my shoot.

How about we do dinner?

Are you with No-eul?

No-eul? What about her?

[ What did she say? ]

It's nothing. Okay. Where should we meet up?

I'll text you the address. See you there.

I know this fabulous place.

It's perfect to have drinks too.

Okay. See you later.

Let's go out. I need a drink.

I'm sorry, I have a dermatology appointment.

It's a freebie treatment, so...

A freebie?

Yes, you should go.

Jeong-hwan.

I'm sorry. I have my grandpa's memorial ritual today.

I'm the eldest grandson.

Yes, you should go.

Just go.

Producer Woo.

I mean, I can be your drinking buddy.

Of course,

all the ladies looking at me might feel like it's too much.

But who cares? Just enjoy it.

Having a drinking buddy like me is great. It's amazing. Right?

Okay, Producer Woo, it's going to be just the two of us.

Let's go, Producer Woo!

Everyone left?

Gosh, I'll just go back to sleep.

[ Episode 8 ]

[ Stew Restaurant ]

[ Kim Hae-kyong ]

- Hey, Hae-kyong. - Geon-u.

You were talking about this restaurant?

[ - I'm not going in. ] - Why not? The food's all served.

No, it's okay. Let's go to your studio.

Gosh, why are you being so picky?

Whatever. I'm hanging up.

Goodness, this sociopath.

Don't be surprised if I don't recognize you.

And don't act like you know me.

Gosh, I should've left first. I was taken aback.

Did he

come here on purpose to see me?

Was he faking it as a coincident?

Why did he run away?

Was it really another coincidence?

Really?

Gosh, darn it!

She must've thought I went there on purpose.

Gosh, this is crazy. It really was a coincidence.

Gosh, it really was.

Goodness, this is driving me crazy.

It really was coincidental.

Gosh, it's driving me nuts.

Ma'am.

I'm here to pay my tab.

You didn't meet Jae-hyuk?

How do you know about that?

He took your name card and paid for your tab.

Gosh.

Why did you want to come here? Aren't you going to eat?

Let's order something. I'm too lazy to go out.

Gosh, what's up with you?

You don't like delivery food.

I'm afraid I might bump into someone if we go out.

- Who? - There's this weird woman.

A woman? How is she weird?

A woman that makes me ramble on.

You?

You would ramble on?

Yes.

That woman is dangerous.

Forget it, let's just drink.

Hey, order something soupy.

Okay.

I thought you'd be here.

Why?

Producer Park said you went to grab a drink,

and I felt like you'd be here.

Right.

We used to hang out here.

I like that this place hasn't changed.

It hasn't changed at all.

But I have changed.

I said I have changed.

I haven't changed.

So it's okay.

Excuse me. I would like to take the rest of the food home.

I want to drink alone at home.

Do you want me to walk you home?

Right. Did you meet Producer Woo?

Don't talk about her. I don't even want to hear her name.

I heard they will have to cancel the show if they fail to cast you.

That would be great. Such a lame show should be canceled.

When the show is canceled, I will lose my job too.

Get another job.

It's pretty good money. I like Producer Woo too.

You like her?

She's a complete psycho. Pull yourself together.

Who's a psycho?

You're not talking about me, are you?

Hey.

Of course not.

- I need to go and get something. - Stay.

You can go.

I said stay.

Why did you not answer your phone?

I have nothing to talk about.

Now you know why I left.

You can understand me, right?

- I do understand. - And?

But I can't forgive you.

Your pride was more important to you than me.

I can't forgive that.

You're the same.

Your pride is more important to you than me.

That's why you can't forgive me.

You're right.

I guess my pride is now more important to me than you.

I'll get going.

Doctor, the VIP patients' chart...

- I will take a look later. - What?

- Are you going somewhere? - Jeju Island.

- I'll call you. - What?

Jeju Island? Again?

You should take a shower.

Oh, hey. Where are you?

[ Why aren't you coming? Ms. Nam will be here any minute. ]

I'm in front of Kim Hae-kyong's clinic.

Today, I will get in there as soon as he comes to work

and end this once and for all.

I've got to go.

Is the doctor inside?

No, he's not. He just took off to Jeju Island.

Wait. Stop!

I know you're lying.

I didn't see anyone leaving this building.

Take a look.

See?

[ Relax Psychiatric Clinic ]

Darn it.

Kim Hae-kyong.

No. It will hurt.

I should just go to work.

Doctor.

Geun-hee, are you all right?

Doctor.

I don't understand what is wrong with me.

I want to die.

Geun-hee.

Please calm down and listen to me.

You know what?

Even the deities fail at love, fall in despair, and are heartbroken.

Imagine how tough it'd be for us.

This isn't because you're weird or weak.

You're just a little more sensitive than others.

You're just different from others. It doesn't mean you're wrong.

Do you understand?

Doctor.

Yes?

Are you married?

Not yet.

Would you like to have some instant noodles with me?

I will add eggs for you.

- Internet broadcasting? - Yes.

One can play it on major web portals.

If it hits a lot of views, it'll make a good profit.

The money will be distributed fairly, and it'll make a good advertisement.

You can make your name known too. You're already a celebrity though.

- So I will be working with you? - Yes.

Actually,

you will be working with my first love, the person I talked about earlier.

So you're using me to make a good impression...

- on your first love. - That's not it.

Please. I'm just a beginner.

Have you heard from Do-hee yet?

She's still at the clinic.

She's waiting for him to come back from Jeju Island.

So she decided to keep pushing it through.

Sure. Why not? She better cast him.

Why don't you give her some time?

You know Do-hee never gives up.

- How did it go? - It went well.

- She'll come to the office tomorrow. - Nice.

Tell everyone to gather around.

Producer Woo has something to say.

[ "Do Whatever You Want" ]

As of today,

"Do Whatever You Want" is officially canceled.

The announcement of cancelation will be posted on the official webpage.

I'll send an email...

to everyone regarding the change of staff.

All right. Producer Woo. Please say a word to wrap this up.

Wrap it up nicely.

Dear my comrades.

B-class shows will never die.

Are you kidding me right now?

I will be back.

B-class comedy forever.

- It never dies! - It never dies!

- B-class never dies! - B-class never dies!

- It never dies! - It never dies!

- Stop it! - It never dies!

- Don't forget! - It never dies!

- It never dies! - It never dies!

- Let go of me! - It never dies!

- It never dies! - It never dies!

- Go, B-class! - It never dies!

[ So are you doing the show with his first love? ]

Of course she should. That was the condition.

Who is it that Mr. Jung scouted, by the way?

I don't know. But Ms. Nam is happy about it.

It seems to be a big name.

Even if the person is a gigantic name, I won't work with him.

Let's think of something awesome

and reunite.

What do you say? Raise your glass.

Seriously, B-class forever.

B-class forever!

- Forever! - Forever!

[ Jung Jae-hyuk ]

Mr. Kim, slow down.

- He's right. - You should get home.

Why are you pouring it like that?

Should we order more food?

[iQIYI Ver] MBC E07 'Dinner Mate' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Do-hee.

Surprise.

I know you feel horrible right now.

I got the flavor you like.

Tomorrow is my birthday.

Were you waiting for me with the ice cream to say that?

It's a little sad to eat alone on my birthday.

Within the past three years,

we have never spent each other's birthday together.

Stop spewing nonsense and go.

My point exactly.

So I don't want to be like that anymore.

Never.

I don't want to be alone

without you ever again.

I will make a reservation at 7 p.m.

I'll get going.

[ we have Writer Lee Mun-jeong over, ]

[ who recently published "He and the Table". ]

[ Welcome, Ms. Lee. ]

[ Hello, I'm Writer Lee Mun-jeong. ]

- Could you turn off the radio? [ - I'm a huge fan. ]

- That would be very nice. [ - Thank you. ]

You didn't change the passcode.

Let's have breakfast together.

Why?

Do I need a reason to have breakfast with my son?

Yes, you do.

There's no special reason.

I just want to eat with you. Are you happy now?

Have it alone.

If you keep acting like that,

I will move in here and live with you.

It's too late.

You coldly left us when I begged you to stay with me.

You've got a lot of nerve to say that now.

I have never abandoned you. I left for just a short while.

When a mother leaves, her child is practically abandoned.

I want you to leave after breakfast.

And

never come back.

Hey.

Will you keep ignoring me? That's childish.

You seem to have a lot of free time lately.

Change of plan.

If you don't answer my calls, I'll come here every day.

Keep ignoring my calls if you want to see me.

I'm busy. I've got to work.

I should go to work too.

It's a sandwich. You used to like the sandwiches I make.

Eat that with the carrot juice.

If you skip breakfast, your brain...

Actually, your sandwich isn't so good.

I thought it was good back then.

Let's have dinner.

I will text you. Don't be late.

Please.

[ 2N BOX ]

I'm sorry. A high-quality show like this is beyond my scope.

You can't afford to turn this down.

I recommend Mr. Park Jin-kyu.

He cares about No-eul a lot, so I'm sure he will do a good job.

I don't want to do it unless you take charge.

I'm sorry. I'll get going now.

This isn't going to be easy, Mr. Jung.

Please excuse me for a second.

Excuse me.

Do-hee.

You shouldn't mix personal with professional.

I'm not mixing them at all.

I've never made such a show.

I rejected because I'm not sure if I can manage it.

Stop being so full of yourself.

That's not what I'm doing.

Do-hee, I...

I believe we are meant to be.

I believe we are destined to be with each other.

"Destined"?

Do you even know what "destiny" means?

You meet the person in a place where you thought you'd never meet anyone.

And you end up meeting the person anyway even when it's impossible.

And it makes you think it's a miracle.

That's what it is.

That's destiny.

Do-hee, listen.

That's how we were.

Don't you remember?

Do-hee.

Could you please

give me another chance?

Please forgive me.

Do-hee, look at me. I beg of you.

[ See you at the steakhouse near Gangnam Station at 7 p.m. ]

Hello. Let me take you to the table.

[ Especially if it was... ]

It's a miracle that they don't go insane.

I don't think it's a miracle.

You did a good job.

That scumbag.

I will never see him again.

What does it mean to have dinner with me again?

It means I want to spend my precious time

solely with you.

But that was all

meaningless.

I'm having a delicious feast

with a person I don't even know the name of.

I don't understand

why I put so much meaning into it.

Excuse me. Did granny come by?

[ You meet the person in a place where you thought you'd never meet anyone. ]

[ And you end up meeting the person anyway even when it's impossible. ]

[ And it makes you think it's a miracle. That's what it is. ]

[ That's destiny. ]

- We agreed to ignore... - Don't you dare.

This is

a coincidence, right?

No.

It's destiny.
