Original subtitles

I was the one who...

bought out the artists to get you fired from My Toon.

I was also the person who got the matchmaking service to replace me...

- with your original blind date. - But...

what is the reason...

you did all of that to me?

I wanted to have you by my side.

I wanted to have you, Seo Hyeon Ju,

by my side.

I'm not going to...

make the same mistakes twice.

The same mistakes?

As I promised you,

I will fully support everything you need for the webtoon business.

One of my goals was to help you achieve your goals...

without having any limitations.

Taxi!

- Mr. Oh! - Taxi!

- Mr. Oh! - My goodness!

You have to give me the manuscript for "Idol Concert" first.

- You can't miss the deadline. - I'll give it to you!

- I'll give it to you... - No.

- when I get back! - Don't do this, Mr. Oh.

Mr. Oh. Hold on. Mr. Oh!

- Let me go! - Mr. Oh.

Mr. Oh. Don't do this.

Hey!

I wanted to...

help you in any way I could.

No matter how hard I try to remember, I have no idea.

Did we have a relationship that allows me to get such help from you?

It was a one-way relationship,

so it's not a surprise you don't know.

I'm also aware that my method was wrong.

I apologize.

Don't bother.

I'm going to quit as of today.

I will be sure to keep my personal feelings separate from work.

I won't use my position...

to make you meet me for personal reasons, either.

- So can you rethink... - I don't want to...

be involved with you with work anymore.

Don't contact me from this moment on.

The investment plan...

for the new ADC drug was passed today at the board meeting.

Please tell them to report the list of companies that can...

cooperate with us in developing this drug sometime next week.

Yes, sir.

Ms. Seo Hyeon Ju handed in her resignation yesterday.

What should I do with it?

- Put it on hold for now. - Okay.

My gosh.

They want someone with experience, but the salary is 20,000 dollars?

Where is their conscience?

My gosh.

Okay.

Sun Toon, Team leader Kim Sung Oh.

(Page Toons, Webtoon Planning Department, Kim Sung Oh)

Hello, Mr. Kim. It's Hyeon Ju.

How are you?

Yes.

No, it's okay.

What do you mean I sexually harassed someone?

Did you see me?

You didn't see it. Did you?

Don't you know me?

You know I can't commit crimes like that.

I'm the icon of innocence.

Hello, director. It's Seo Hyeon Ju.

I'm denying it because it's untrue. Should I admit to it instead?

But what I'm asking you is did you see it?

Then bring me someone who saw it.

I'll wait. Bring them to me.

I'm sorry for being blunt.

I'll do my best.

Can you give me a chance?

Hello?

My gosh.

(Neuropsychiatrist, Jung Seok Woo)

Come in.

- Have you been well? - Goodness, welcome.

Come over here.

You don't look too well.

Are you having symptoms again?

No, I'm not. I didn't get much sleep last night.

How is your insomnia?

Do you need to get a prescription again?

I don't think I'll get much sleep for the time being.

Is it because of your wife?

Yes.

Mr. Hwang, have you ever considered...

telling her about the memories you have?

Are you talking about the memories of my past life?

Of course, she may be flustered at first,

but it's easy to prove that what you tell her...

isn't a delusion.

Then the misunderstanding between you two can be resolved.

- Yushin regime is a dictatorship. - Yushin regime is a dictatorship.

- Dictator, be gone! - Dictator, be gone!

After I remembered a bit of my past lives,

everything was confusing to me.

It was painful too.

If the memories of her past life...

are hidden away somewhere for her,

I want it to stay buried forever.

I don't want her to experience the same pain I felt.

(I've nurtured my dream to become a webtoon producer.)

(Resume)

(Submit resume)

(You have completed your job application.)

- Mr. Joo. - Yes?

What do you think about moving...

the speech bubble to a different area of the frame?

The speech bubble should be here...

because it's this character's line.

(Producer Kim Da Eun)

Hi, Da Eun.

What's it like in the office?

It's a complete mess.

Director In hired someone he knew to replace you...

It's endurable, so far.

Regardless, I'm so glad that you got a job at a better place.

Director In and Mr. Oh...

have been spreading strange rumors about you.

We were really worried about you.

This field is so small that we were worried...

you wouldn't find another job.

I...

quit Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals.

- What? Why? - What? Why?

I had a reason to.

Ms. Seo. Should we make a platform of our own?

That would be great.

- Let's do it! - Right.

- Do you have anything? - Of course.

I have my passion...

for Ms. Seo.

I have my love.

Okay, we need money to cover operational costs,

so should we take a look at our accounts?

As I promised you,

I will fully support everything you need for the webtoon business.

One of my goals was to help you achieve your goals...

without having any limitations.

I will be sure to keep my personal feelings separate from work.

I won't use my position...

to make you meet me for personal reasons, either.

Let's make our own platform.

- What? - What?

Why not? Let's pretend we're crazy and do it.

Mr. Hwang.

Could we talk privately for a moment?

Have you been well?

I have not, thanks to you.

You said you had something to tell me.

I've been thinking about it for the past few days,

and I can't allow...

my career to be ruined overnight because of a certain someone.

I feel that it's unfair.

As the victim, I feel like I should receive proper compensation.

Tell me what you want.

Reinstatement.

Is that all?

No. I will ensure that...

Sunwoo Webtoons' sales will be in the top 3 within 3 years...

I will also turn the business profits into a surplus.

That's my goal.

Once that goal is achieved,

allow the platform to separate from Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals.

Of course, I will take all the shares.

I understand what you're saying.

Let's do that.

You will do that?

I don't intend on forgiving you.

I'm just saying that I will do what I want with your money.

I know.

Also, it seems like you forgot,

but I have a boyfriend.

Please turn off all personal feelings towards me.

You promised to keep your personal feelings separate from work.

When you said boyfriend, were you referring to Mr. Park?

Mr. Park?

Of course.

I will see you during the next briefing.

What were you doing?

I was packing.

Let's unpack.

What?

Why?

This isn't the time for you to make that kind of face.

You have to put your left and right brains into full effect...

to figure out how...

we're going to bleed Mr. Hwang dry and make the platform successful.

I don't think it's a good idea to go back to working for him.

You have to see him at work every day starting tomorrow.

Do you think he'll leave you alone?

If he doesn't leave me alone, I'm not going stand still.

I'm going to give up on my law-abiding spirit,

nonviolence, and personal liberty and fight with him.

Gosh, my head.

Also, there is someone who will help me not go that far.

That person is you.

I told Mr. Hwang...

not to hit on me because I have a boyfriend.

Will you help me?

Is there any chance you will take back this decision?

No.

After I build my career over the next three years,

I'm going to pull the rug out from under him...

and run. Okay?

Let's just think about that for now.

Okay.

Thank you, and I'm sorry, Do Gyum.

Let's pretend to be really dating for the time being,

so Mr. Hwang doesn't get suspicious.

But...

in order for it to look real, that means you and I...

have to go on dates and show physical affection.

Are you okay with that?

What if you end up really falling in love with me?

Hey brother, don't worry about that, okay?

- Don't worry about it. - Why are you kicking me?

It's because I'm worried on your behalf.

Waterpark.

I want to go to a waterpark too.

Su Bin, let's go when summer vacation starts, okay?

I really don't have time this week.

I can go with Daddy.

You want to go to a waterpark with your dad?

Your dad works on the weekends too.

(The deadline to repay your loan for your credit line has passed.)

(You may be charged late fees, so please make your payment.)

Let's go.

Su Bin, go into that convenience store...

and choose an ice cream you want to eat.

Then, I will consider it.

Gosh, it's going to be delicious.

Hi, Mom. What are you doing?

What do you mean?

I'm calling because I thought of you and I wanted to ask...

Can you lend me 5,000 dollars?

I'll pay you back next month.

What do you mean I spend too much money?

I spend it on Su Bin's education and our living expenses.

Forget it. If you're going to nag, just hang up.

She said she cut ties with her ex-husband a long time ago.

What is she doing?

Even when I'm eating, my chest feels...

This is insane.

What's going on?

So what do you all think?

What kind of situation is this?

Let's see.

A man and woman who used to live together...

were having a serious conversation, and the woman started crying.

Then the two of them went into the man's house.

Isn't it obvious?

They're back together, aren't they?

How frustrating.

She forgot about the miserable life she had with her in-laws,

and she's getting back on the express train to that misery?

We have to drag her out of there.

If she doesn't listen, I'm going to pull out her ex-husband's hair.

Mr. Kim has short hair.

Then we should rip out his head.

We can't let her get back with her ex-husband.

Let's call Jin Ah.

Let's call the person involved and decide whether to...

rip out her head or pull out her hair.

She should be done with classes. Send her a message.

I'll do it.

Hyeon Ju. The light is out.

Let's pretend to be really dating for the time being,

so Mr. Hwang doesn't get suspicious.

"Spring, Flowers, Hyeon Ju".

June 20, 2011.

- Okay. - Good.

This is the problem with living alone.

You have to everything from A to Z on your own.

I've never changed...

a lightbulb since getting married.

Should I get married because I don't want to change lightbulbs?

Instead, I don't have to raise my child on my own,

take care of my husband,

or worry about what my in-laws might think.

- Don't you think that's better? - What's wrong with...

raising my child on my own and taking care of my husband?

I'm happy.

I don't need a husband or in-laws.

I just need a child. Is there such a marriage like that?

What kind of ridiculous notion is that?

I'm tired of getting rejected at blind dates.

It seems like I'm not fated to meet a man.

Can single people adopt children?

Or maybe a sperm bank.

A sperm bank.

It's not working. Let's call Do Gyum.

Really? Why won't it work?

If the light still doesn't come on after changing the lightbulb,

it means there's a problem with the circuit breaker or condenser.

I'll buy the parts and fix it tomorrow.

I thought you were moving.

Hyeon Ju decided to stay,

so of course I will too.

Is that so?

That's my coffee.

You made it with my coffeemaker in my house,

so it was originally my coffee.

Okay. Enjoy it.

I have to go to bed early anyway.

I'm going on a date until late tomorrow...

with my girlfriend.

She's so pretty.

- Come here. - I can't see her.

- My goodness. - Gosh, Bori.

- Come here. - Now do you get it?

Are you saying that you missed your ex-husband's cat,

so you cried and made a scene and went to his house?

Bori is like my child.

We met to discuss custody issues.

Who's taking custody?

Me. She's at my place right now.

I have to go home.

Then you have no reason to meet with your ex-husband now.

Of course. She got custody of the cat,

- so why would they need to meet? - We slept together.

What? Have you lost your mind?

Why would you sleep with your ex-husband?

What do you plan to do?

Are you getting back together?

Why are you guys acting so old-fashioned?

We just slept together.

Do you need to get married because you slept together?

It was a mistake, right?

This...

is what you call a mistake.

How can a person make a mistake of sleeping with someone?

Saying that you slept with someone by mistake because you were drunk?

That's all a lie.

So you're saying your boyfriend...

I mean, your ex-husband is now your current boyfriend?

What do you mean, boyfriend?

I have no intention to develop this relationship that far.

(The Size and Prospect of the Webtoon Market)

(Analysis of Rival Domestic Webtoon Companies)

You want to hire new webtoon producers...

from within Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals?

Yes. I considered hiring from outside of the company,

but since the Webtoon Business Team...

is a subsidiary of Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals,

I thought we should recruit people from within the company.

I intend to scout experienced webtoon producers...

from My Toon.

Okay. Here.

Do you have time today?

No, I don't.

I don't have a second to spare for you.

I want to apologize.

I told you that you didn't need to.

You don't need to apologize.

Come to think, I think you should apologize.

We have to work together for three years,

so we should wrap things up...

and start anew. Don't you think?

Then I'll make the reservations and let you know.

I will make the reservations.

There's a restaurant in Seongsu-dong called Italian Table.

I'll see you there at 7pm.

You could've just met me at the restaurant.

You said we had to be thorough, so he doesn't figure it out.

I told Mr. Hwang that we were going on a date.

Good job. Where are we going?

To the year 2011.

- What? - You'll know when we get there.

I made an official marriage proposal...

to Mr. Hwang's mother yesterday.

We're done talking about it,

so you can think of everything else as a formality.

Okay.

Since we're on the topic,

what do you think about quitting your job within this month?

It will be reported to the press soon,

so your co-workers might feel uncomfortable.

I was thinking about quitting.

I was thinking about quitting and transferring to another team.

Another team?

We have a new webtoon department,

and it's a field I've been interested in for a long time.

Do that.

Since I'm here,

I'd like to get some tea with Mr. Hwang.

What's his afternoon schedule like?

I don't think he'll be able to because he won't be in the office.

Is that so?

It's this way.

Ta-da.

Do you remember this place?

You modeled for me here when I was a senior in high school.

Of course I remember.

You got a prize because of me.

Why did you bring me here all of a sudden?

To keep the promise I made back then.

I promised to draw you a portrait...

for the rest of your life instead of paying you.

That's right. I forgot.

When I'm done with the portrait, I'll frame it and give it to you.

It's the first gift you're getting from your boyfriend,

so cherish it.

I have cherished everything you gave me, so don't worry.

Okay. Sit over here.

Okay. Try drawing me.

What kind of expression do you want? Should I laugh or smile?

Just act naturally. Just do what you normally do.

- What are you doing? - Studying my subject.

Hyeon Ju. Do you know that poem?

"A Wildflower" by Na Tae Ju.

You must take a closer look to find its beauty

You must look at it for a long time to find its loveliness

Yes.

Looking at you reminds me of that poem.

I don't want to look at you closely.

I don't want to look at you for a long time.

You're just like that.

Hey!

My goodness. It's the same for me too.

Hold on.

You have something on your face.

Thank you. Okay.

I'm going to prepare the paint first and then start sketching.

I promised to buy Ji Hwan drinks today.

Do you want to join us if you're free?

I'm indebted to Ji Hwan, so I'll treat you guys.

Should we call everyone out and have fun?

Sounds good. It's been a while since I saw your friends.

It's ready. Enjoy your gift.

- Thank you. - Excuse me.

Here.

Pardon?

Sit over here.

Okay. Try drawing me.

Hold on.

You have something on your face.

Park Do Gyum.

You're dead meat.

(Italian Table)

(Italian Table)

Excuse me. Is this Italian Table?

Are you blind?

I said, "Are you blind?" It's written on the sign.

- Is the address Seongsu-dong... - Yes, it is.

If you're going to eat, come in. If not, leave.

I'm busy.

I'm telling you.

- So... - Really.

(Italian Table)

Where should I sit?

There should be a reservation under the name Seo Hyeon Ju.

The employee there kept looking at me,

so I made a fool out of myself while wondering how I could reject him.

I had no idea my face looked like that.

Are you laughing? Is this funny to you?

You got a lot nicer.

Considering that this guy's still alive after a prank like that.

That's what I'm saying.

Hyeon Ju!

Welcome.

Oh, my!

It's been a while.

I know. I have to see your handsome face more often.

- Can we get another beer? - Okay.

Who's this?

It's me, Ji Hwan.

You are?

I would never recognize you.

It's so good to see you. How have you been?

Of course.

I heard you got a divorce. Congratulations.

I like you.

Let's get together more often.

- Cheers. - Hold on.

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

I'm sorry. Something suddenly came up,

and I don't think I can go.

I'll wait.

I can't go.

The tteokbokki there is really good, so be sure to try it.

I'll wait until you get here.

Then I'll try to get there as soon as possible.

You can wait all you want. I'm never going.

What was that? Did you make plans for dinner with Mr. Hwang?

No way. I'm standing him up on purpose.

It's a type of punishment.
