Original subtitles

People think Tae Woon is always smiling...

but inside his smile, there's always sadness.

What do people normally do on the first date?

Ms. Ji Na!

Ms. Ji Na!

Don't stay by that man.

- Call a meeting of senior directors. - A meeting?

I want to propose a faceoff to Yoon Tae Woon there.

He'll only get hospitalized if he sees you enter the race...

and attend the senior directors' meeting.

If you are going to run away like last time...

you should forfeit early on.

Why do you want to win so badly?

Because there's something I want.

Father, please help me.

That plan is only possible when Yoon Tae Woon is a candidate.

I'll make that plan become useless.

Episode 16

You have ten minutes to go.

Okay.

Are you Candidate Yoon Tae Woon?

- Yes. - This is for you.

I see.

Are you Director Kang Hee Chul?

Yes.

This is for you.

[Personal Background File]

[Agreement to forfeit the presidential candidacy]

That's the star that shines the brightest in the southern sky.

It's called Sirius.

I'm sure Laika's become a really cool mailman in outer space.

He used to be really good at bringing in the mail at our house.

Ms. Ji Na...

[Employee Resume]

Bravo.

What do you think you are doing?

- Ms. Yoo Ji Na. - Yes?

I see you studied marketing at Han Gook University.

Looking for a missing child.

Name, Kkang Chong. Age, two years old.

There was just a mix up.

On paper, Ms. Ji Na never lied about her education.

Although it's true...

she fooled herself and others around her.

Thinking about it, that's true.

Yoo Ji Na... Twenty-seven years old?

Graduated from Min Gook University...

She made it into our company after going to a rural college?

She must be very talented.

You'll see on the interview files.

She had her reasons for getting hired.

Yeah?

Director Kang wasn't able to see the hidden part.

He'll try to get Tae Woon to forfeit using that against him...

but that plan is possible only if Ms. Ji Na really lied.

But how did you know that Director Kang was planning that?

You are the one who had a change of heart.

You're on your own from here.

I saw that you recently bought some stock.

Trying to secure the majority of shares...

to help Yoon Tae Woon.

Is that your plan?

Chairman...

That plan is only possible if Yoon Tae Woon remains a candidate.

I'll make that plan become useless.

He was so sure of his false assumptions.

False assumptions?

He assumed that I had given up on him.

And that I had bought the shares to help Tae Woon.

I assumed that, too.

That wasn't it?

Yes.

Yes.

Both sides?

Yes.

I understand.

The competition's begun.

Which side forfeited?

Neither.

Neither one forfeited?

Both of them are something else.

You are the one who's something else.

- What? - Should I massage your legs?

Damn you...

You...

You're coming now?

Yeah.

I worked all night at the convenience store.

Why are you working so hard, running two jobs?

Come have a seat.

Eat.

What is it?

- You made all this? - Yeah.

Eat first, then go get some sleep.

Thanks, my friend.

- Mal Sook. - Yeah?

The delivery guy is going to come later.

When he comes, can you give him that box over there?

I paid for it already, let him take it.

Okay.

But why is the box so big?

Huh?

Hey.

Don't work so hard.

I'm going.

What's wrong with her?

You said you wanted to use this, right?

Your skin looks dry these days.

Make sure you eat well even if I'm not around.

It's me, Yoo Ji Na.

If you are out... can I see you before you go into the office?

I'll meet you around there in thirty minutes.

Are you looking for something?

Do you have a small cassette player?

- A portable one. - Yes, we have one.

Hold on.

I can't believe you have this.

How much is this?

- Just give me 10,000 won. - Hold on.

The headphones are on us.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Ms. Hye Mi.

- Ms. Ji Na. - You came?

But what are you doing here?

I had to buy something.

Wow, there's all sorts of stuff here.

Pretty amusing, right?

Hello.

Hello.

But what's that?

It's a portable turntable, a mini vintage record player.

It plays AM radio, and it plays records, too.

Amazing.

It may look like junk...

but if you look carefully, there's a lot of useful stuff, right?

If you trash it, it becomes junk.

But if you keep it, it may become treasure.

That's true.

I should have kept things instead of trashing them.

But why did you call me?

The competition isn't even over, yet.

That's why I called you.

Before the results come out, I wanted to ask for a favor.

Let's talk.

Here.

What's this?

Letter of resignation.

Please submit this in my place.

I thought about submitting it myself...

and leaving after admitting that I lied about my education.

But even that seemed a bit arrogant to me.

Just confessing the truth...

I don't think is a true apology.

If I find a way, I'm going to come back.

Ms. Ji Na.

Regardless of the competition results...

don't you think this is the right thing to do?

Don't make that face.

I'm going to make a comeback.

Ms. Hye Mi.

You're going to continue working, right?

Of course.

Let's meet again on the field.

Okay.

I finally get to hear this.

Is this what you wanted?

[Agreement to forfeit from the presidential candidacy]

You won...

so why?

The reason I came all the way here...

is to protect Ms. Ji Na...

not to have IM Corporation.

Ms. Ji Na.

The person you have called cannot answer...

It was hard, right?

Instead of trashing this moment...

I hope you will treasure it.

When it all passes...

I'm sure it would have become a treasured time for you.

Hye Mi.

Tae Woon, it's me, Ji Na.

You're surprised, right?

Ms. Ji Na.

This is Tae Woon.

You're surprised, right?

When you are reading this letter...

I'm probably on my way down to my homeland.

Just as you have to go back to the starting line...

if you start off too early...

I'm on my way back to the original point.

I thought about how I could surprise you...

I'm not the type to master something over night.

So it was really hard.

But I'll show you everyday.

When I first learned to ride a bicycle...

I kept falling, and it was really hard.

But after practicing daily, I got to ride the bike really well.

In the same way, I will love you each day with all my heart.

It's my first time, so I may not be good at it now...

but until that day I become really good at love...

I'll practice daily.

I won't procrastinate loving you or become lazy.

I'm leaving without telling you because...

I hope you won't have to start over like me.

As much as it was hard for you to get started...

you need to keep making progress.

If you continue to go, I'll start again from behind you.

This time, I will make sure I start right.

I'll take off my heels and catch up to you.

You can wait for me until then, right?

You can wait for me until then, right?

It's so nice.

There's not much to happiness.

Would you like to listen to music?

That would be nice.

Give me some space.

Should I?

You came earlier than our meeting time.

Thank you for coming all the way here.

No.

I was passing by anyway.

I know that you came by just recently.

You always leave flowers like this.

The chairman used to like flowers.

I asked you to come here...

because I wanted to give you this in front of my uncle.

What is it?

Before he passed away...

you knew that he secured a majority of the shares, right?

Yes.

He left all those shares to you.

Uncle did all this with you in mind.

Even when he made me run for the presidency...

that wasn't for me.

That was to make you more up-right.

And this...

I found it while I was cleaning out his belongings.

I...

I'm going to return to the flower shop.

More than anyone else, the one who knows IM the best...

and loves it the most...

is you.

Please take good care of IM.

Then.

The reason I'm leaving you with the majority of stock shares...

is because I want you to make IM uniquely yours.

Don't let failure bring you down.

And don't become arrogant over winning.

Just as King David inscribed Solomon's seal on his ring...

inscribe the pace of your life in your heart.

And be faithful to your path.

Hee Chul, I believe in you.

Okay!

Pretty.

Music, play.

Let's go.

Start!

The ocean is what you wanted to show me?

Sort of...

This isn't just any ocean.

It's my homeland.

This is where I grew up.

Really?

That's why I like sashimi.

I see...

You like sashimi because you grew up by the ocean.

I was always curious why you liked sashimi so much.

Now I see.

Oh, no... This is so romantic.

When all the messy things from my head disappear...

and only you remain...

that's when I wanted to show you.

There's something else, other than you, inside my head...

that won't leave.

No matter how much I try to make it leave...

it won't go.

Who is that?

IM.

Give me your hand.

From now on, I'll only think of you and IM.

Welcome.

You...

That panda from before?

How did you come here?

Hey!

How did you come here?

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

It's so good to see you.

But...

who are you?

Hey, who are you?

Take this off!

Come on, take this off!

It's me, Ms. Ji Na.

Then...

That panda back then was...

Then you knew everything from the beginning?

Yes!

How could you?

Stop right there!

Stop!

Stop, stop!

Why didn't you tell me?

Hey!

You came all the way here like this?

In this hot weather?

I missed you so much.

You told me to wait, but I couldn't wait.

That's why I was going to just see your face and go.

This is why you're Mr. Unfortunate.

Ta-da!

What's this?

A ring.

A ring that's alive.

- A live ring? - Yes.

I had this made specially for you.

This right here is real moss.

If you water it, it'll grow.

You're definitely Mr. Unfortunate.

Hold on.

Ta-da!

Are you...

Are you proposing to me right now?

Oh my God...

Rent out a sky lounge...

eat ice cream, and swallow a ring...

I didn't expect that, but...

I'm wearing flip-flops with sweats...

And that panda...

What kind of a proposal is this?

It is a proposal.

Ms. Ji Na.

Wow.

Ms. Ji Na.

I missed you so much.

So I can't wait any longer.

At IM, we are looking for new employees.

Come to IM.

Excuse me...

Manager Oh Mi Ran!

What?

You're not her?

Oh, you know Mi Ran?

Yes.

I'm her sister.

Really?

Mi Ran is with IM, and I'm with Maru.

You two look so much alike.

Am I fat like Mi Ran?

No, not at all.

Joke, joke...

Mi Ran just had a girl.

- A big and strong girl. - Wow...

Congratulations.

She's a big and strong girl...

I see you studied marketing at Min Gook University.

Yes.

As you can see, Maru is a very small company.

You'll have to work a lot. Is that okay?

Of course.

You worked for IM. Very good.

I'll work hard.

Sweet potato flowers have bloomed again.

I hope you'll be the first one to open the door and step in.

You'll come, right?

Ms. Ji Na.

You came?

It's a garden with all sides open.

They say that all walls are also doors.

Maybe one day, all the walls in your garden will open up.

Wow, I never thought about that.

A garden where all the sides open up.

If you make a garden like that later...

I'll be there first to open the door and walk in.

Ms. Ji Na.

Thank you...

for being the first to open the door and walk in.

[Sweet Potato Flowers Have Bloomed Again]

Like this.

Pull it.

They say happiness is like a door you find by accident.

A door easy to bypass on a long journey...

Inside the door, there is warm wind...

a red sunset...

and a shining star.

My unfortunate boyfriend made me realize that.

I love him.

You were like the color purple.

You approached me softly.

Your pretty eyes and beautiful scent...

Ms. Ji Na...

I couldn't forget you.

Creamy complexion, Ms. Ji Na.

I hope we will always be able to smile.

Let's write beautiful stories together.

Even when loneliness approaches you, don't be sad.

My heart will start to ache then.

Out of all the people I pass by on the street...

you are the one who taught me love.

[Thank you for watching 'My Unfortunate Boyfriend.']
