I'm curious...

about you.

Why are you keep bothering me?

Just show me Kang's cue sheet.

I'll return it when I'm done.

-I thought you wanted the proposal. -It doesn't matter.

Just hand over everything. Hurry up.

Why don't we just say hello?

You're looking good since you moved under Lee Kang.

-Are you happy? -Of course not.

I want to kill him.

We worked all night yesterday, too.

Hey,

why didn't you recruit me to your team first?

It was so nice not doing any work.

What? You're disgusting.

Just hurry up and bring me the cue sheet.

Hold on. It's in the booth.

Is this where I jump to the bridge?

Yes. I already highlighted it.

Hey. What are you two doing?

We're preparing for the show.

At this hour?

I've been helping him with this and that.

The writer and the DJ are like one person.

One person?

Can you write down how I should react here?

Okay.

What? They spent the night together?

Ji Soo-Ho was working really hard.

The two of them were reviewing the script inside the booth.

-Then did they sleep together? -Hey!

What nonsense are you saying?

Song Geu-rim, you impertinent thing.

Don't you know the myth?

Something always happens if you spend a night in the booth together.

Don't jinx them.

Wait.

Song Geu-rim and Ra Ra-hui...

Who had more listeners?

We'd be better off if Writer Ra won.

I know.

I vote for Geu-rim.

Of course, we won. We have Mr. Namaste.

-Namaste. -Namaste.

Everyone, KBC performed a special research

to get listener ratings on the two shows.

Is this steep straight line

really for a radio show at our station?

Now.

Is it Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance?

Or, is it Jay's Let's Meet at Six o'clock? What will it be?

Ji Soo-ho!

Okay.

We agreed that the loser will work on Sundays. You remember, right?

It's best to stay inside and work hard on holidays.

Too bad. Our team will have to go on a trip.

-Sure. -Right.

We'll use Sung Woo's booth starting next show.

-You? -Really?

Did you get his permission?

Namaste.

Hey! Everything is great,

but let's get just one show recorded.

No way.

Hey!

Gosh. I just can't hate him.

By the way, where is Geu-rim?

I'm not sure.

Let's just keep this up.

Soo-ho, what did you mean by that?

What do you mean you're curious?

That's what you said to me earlier.

What are you curious about?

Well...

Gosh.

Are you serious?

Why are you always eating my food?

Don't be so cheap.

Here. You can have this.

Thank you.

Soo-ho, thanks to you,

we had the highest listener rating.

That's why we must go somewhere today.

Let's go!

You really won't come with us?

No. I have a shoot tomorrow.

-I have to prepare-- -We need you there.

-Why? -We're getting a sponsor.

We need your face.

I said no.

Why not?

What kind of a show would you do in there?

You sly thing you.

Did you think I'd let you if you bring Ji Soo-ho?

How nice would it be if he did the show in your booth?

Our ratings were awesome.

Also,

if Ji Soo-ho does a show in your booth, he can get tips from you.

And if he does a show in your booth,

he'd play the records, making my job easier--

I'm sorry.

Come on.

It's been a dream to do a show in your booth.

If you'd lend us your booth,

it means I totally succeeded, right?

Please,

give it to us to celebrate Ji Soo-ho entering the world of radio.

The living legend's booth.

Soo-ho, why don't you say something, too?

Why do you want to do it in my booth?

I don't want to.

I don't care even if it isn't your booth.

All booths are the same.

I'll lend it to you.

-What? -What?

What?

I'll lend it to you.

But go hiking with me every week.

What do you mean?

You say all booths are the same, so I'll teach you that they are not.

Use my booth starting your next show.

You promised!

Yes.

Come on!

I'm overwhelmed with a sense of betrayal.

What, punk?

Going hiking together

is stage three of your friendship.

Why did you invite him to go hiking already?

He's cute.

He's a newbie who doesn't even know how important the space is in radio.

I should teach him.

Come on!

Why don't you teach me like that?

The Ji Soo-ho effect is incredible.

We never fail if you're there.

Forget it.

Now that we got the venue sponsored,

let's go for the next sponsorship.

I'll go now.

Then let's do this.

Whoever gets it in has the say, okay?

Forget it.

Forget what? This is a world of competitions.

Are you not athletic?

Yes.

Here. Here. Throw this out properly.

Where are we going?

We should give a gift to the listeners too.

What gift? It's freezing.

Excuse us.

-Hello. -Hello.

Hello.

Are you the owner of All Natural Labs?

You wrote to our radio show.

-Yes. -I'm Lee Kang, the production director.

You conducted research on skincare for all ages,

but people of all ages shunned you...

The person who can't even afford noodles because of debt...

I hate when people say suffering is good.

LOAN PAYMENT PAST DUE

I work all night, but the debt piles up.

Forget buying a house.

I can't even pay this month's rent.

LET'S BREAK UP

Reality is, if you dream, you become a fool.

But there are many fools like me...

who write to radio stations.

But,

I can't live as a fool any longer.

I ran out of funds for the research.

We'll buy your cosmetics.

From our show.

You have the operation budget, right?

Sponsors come knocking because of Soo-ho.

Why would we pay--

Ji Soo-ho and we support All Natural Labs.

We support you.

We'll market your product to our listeners, too.

Who will? Ji Soo-ho will.

Also, I heard yesterday

that failures can become successes.

Don't give up. We're cheering for you.

-We're cheering for you. -My patient...

still refuses therapy

and suffers from chronic insomnia.

As a result of

having only fake relationships, rather than real relationships,

because he's been exposed to the public at a very young age.

He fears showing his true self

and refuses to do so.

There has been a notable change recently.

Rather than due to circumstances,

he has made different choices due to a person.

I will continue to monitor those decisions

and changes.

I guess you can't control Soo-ho anymore.

I believe he is with the radio team.

Exactly.

Soo-ho doesn't hang out with people, but he's doing just that.

Isn't it strange?

Still,

he seems to have opened his heart--

Exactly.

That's strange.

You understand, don't you?

Yes.

You may go.

Hello. I sent Jin Tae-ri.

Did you see her?

Yes.

I'm always well.

Jin Tae-ri,

I never see you on TV anymore.

Oh, my.

It's not like I'm "never" on TV.

You're not good enough to be the model

for our refrigerator commercial.

Oh, my.

If you say I'm not good enough to my face like that,

should I reply by saying,

"Yes, I am good enough"?

You should know better.

Am I good enough to shoot the commercial

for your fridge?

The rumors were true.

Mr. Baldy, you say,

"The rumors were true."

What rumors are you talking about?

You have no fear, do you?

You're so unpopular

that you were sent here!

I'm better than you jerks who called me here.

-What? -Think about it.

Losers who can't even win over an unpopular actress like me.

You little...

Hey!

Hey. Let go!

Who do you think you are?

How dare a you act like a top star?

Hey, Mr. Kim.

What brings you here?

This kid is with you, right?

-I'm not your kid! -Be quiet.

Come out.

My apologies.

If our kid made a mistake, please forgive her.

If she was rude, please be understanding.

How dare that cheap little!

Keep a close eye on her, would you?

People like that will stab you in the back.

Yes, sir. Let me pour you a drink.

But, sir.

Will you have our kid do the commercial?

Are you insane?

Who would hire someone like her?

Exactly.

If you weren't even going to hire her,

why did you hit

and grab a girl by her hair?

Yes, sir.

I'll cover the bill here.

Good night.

Mister.

So give it to me quickly.

I'll use Soo-ho in every way possible.

I know his past,

and you have the evidence.

So, where are you going now?

Oh, we have to work all night at the studio.

And here's the revised script.

This seems to be the only method I have right now.

JI SOO-HO'S RADIO ROMANCE

Newbie, let's go.

Good night, Soo-ho.

Hold on...

why do you call Geu-rim Newbie again?

Isn't she the chief writer?

There's another newbie, so it gets confusing.

What is there to be so confused about?

I only call Geu-rim Newbie.

Plus, that other newbie writer quit, I think-- I can't reach her.

Still, please don't call her Newbie.

-She's the chief-- -But you treat her like she's a newbie.

Although in different way.

What do you mean by that?

You ignore her scripts and make her run errands.

You treat our chief writer like a newbie.

Okay, then. We'll go now. See you tomorrow.

She and I will stay together tonight.

Geu-rim!

Can we talk?

I have a photo shoot that's out of town tomorrow.

Yes, I know. I heard it ends at 2 p.m.

What if I'm late for the live show?

Pardon?

I can't be late,

so I want to use clause four of the contract.

SONG GEU-RIM CAN'T REFUSE WHAT JI SOO-HO SAYS

I need you to drive me tomorrow.

Am I your driver or something?

So, you can't stay with PD Lee tonight.

You'll have to go home and sleep so that you can drive safely tomorrow.

I'll do whatever I want.

What if our ratings go down again

after we give away so many gifts?

But isn't it odd?

Why is JH sponsoring us, instead of their son?

Don't worry about useless things,

and get our ratings up.

Got that?

Good work with today's show.

Are you mocking me?

-I wasn't... -What exactly is your role on that team?

Pardon?

Ji Soo-ho's team writes the script, right?

So what exactly do you do as a writer?

Do you think you got top ratings because of you?

It's infuriating how they make

just anyone a chief writer.

Ji Soo-ho's team writes the script, right?

So what exactly do you do as a writer?

Failures become hits.

JI SOO-HO'S RADIO ROMANCE

MOM

MOM

Hello, Mother.

Hello? Soo-ho?

It's Geu-rim.

I know.

-The script... -The script...

How was it?

Well... I didn't get to study it enough to use it for the show tomorrow, so...

It's okay. At least you read it.

Okay.

-Okay, then. -What?

Are you hanging up already?

Then, what else should I do?

Soo-ho.

I really want to write a good script.

If I write it well,

you will use my script for your show one day, right?

Right.

So, the DJ must speak with the writer the most.

I'm the one who writes what you want to say into the mic.

Although I don't yet.

Do you not feel upset about that?

What?

The fact that I don't use your script for the show.

It is a bit infuriating, but I have no choice.

That means I must write an incredibly good script.

It upsets me,

but I'm not good enough to write it.

But coming to think of it,

I'm not angry at you, but at myself,

for being unable to write.

Oh, I have a question.

This is kind of a personal question.

Why don't you carry a cell phone?

Why would I carry a cell phone?

I have no one to call.

What do you mean?

I have no one to call.

There's no one who would call me either.

Your selfishness has no bounds.

Why don't you have anyone to call?

Me, PD Lee, your manager. You should call all of us.

And why is there no one who would call you?

When I get stuck while writing

and wonder what you like or what words you use,

you can answer my calls.

Soo-ho.

Can't you just get a cell phone?

And if I do?

If I do,

are you going to call every day?

Excuse me?

Are you home?

Yes. I'm home.

You should sleep early.

You have to drive tomorrow.

What?

Gosh.

That's great.

Soo-ho, this way.

It looks great.

You can pose naturally.

That's perfect!

Yes, that's the look.

Yes, you look beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Gosh! It's so good.

Okay. We'll continue after a lunch break.

Yes. I happen to be nearby.

Is it okay to visit and meet the kids?

Okay, sure. Okay.

Soo-ho,

how many more hours do you have to shoot?

I have to go somewhere.

I'll take the car and make it fast.

Are you telling me to get off?

Ready, go.

-Goodbye, my friend -Goodbye, my friend

-When the foghorn sounds -When the foghorn sounds

-Will you cry for me -Will you cry for me

-Without anyone knowing? -Without anyone knowing?

Is Sang-goo the only one graduating?

What will happen to them?

We'll merge with another nearby school.

We had two kids in graduating class,

but only Sang-goo will graduate.

Where is he right now?

Are you a reporter?

Get lost.

What?

Are you here to write a story?

We had some come by yesterday.

Sang-goo.

I heard you're throwing a fit 'cause you don't want to graduate.

How come?

That's none of your business.

Go away. Leave!

Why do you

keep showing up in front of me?

Why must I tell you that?

If you don't want to do it, just leave.

Leave. Please.

Hey.

You really remind me of someone.

This is Gyo-min.

He was supposed to graduate with Sang-goo.

Unfortunately, he will never be able to graduate.

I couldn't tell the kids,

so I told them he went to Seoul for treatment.

I didn't want them to get shocked.

However,

I didn't know they would wait so long for him.

That's why Sang-goo won't graduate...

until his friend returns.

He's being difficult.

Director,

did you get Ms. Nam's call?

What's going on?

Director, what's happening here?

What do you think?

Move.

Da-seul, I'm sorry.

JH CEO asked for some changes last minute.

Are you kidding me?

That's ridiculous. We're on different levels.

Do you want to die?

Hey!

Why are you always up on my case?

-Do you have something against me? -Yes, I hate you.

You're not that pretty, nor is your acting any good.

I'm mad that you're doing so well.

So?

There must be a reason why you're doing so poorly.

Listen.

I've had it up to here with my patience.

That means, keep that mouth shut.

You little!

-Let go! Hey! -No!

You little!

No, it's not looking good.

Why do you keep doing things your way?

That's what you're doing.

You agreed on the radio, then made mistakes on air.

That's why I had no other choice.

I'm busy right now.

I'm hanging up.

Will it be all right?

Have you already settled the matter with Ji Soo-ho?

He has a daily radio show to do.

It's okay.

He'll make it work according to the schedule.

APPEARANCE CONTRACT

JH ENTERTAINMENT

JI SOO-HO

Okay, this way. Show the product to us.

That's sexy. Yes.

Soo-ho, look more sexy.

Yes, that's perfect.

One more time while looking at the camera.

Okay. Good work.

Soo-ho.

Why do you keep ignoring me?

There must be a reason why, right? Can you just ignore me, too?

You're finally talking to me.

My entrance today must have been shocking.

What is your plan? Why are you doing this?

Soo-ho, we have to get along. Don't be like that to me.

It's easy to pretend we get along.

Right.

You're a good actor.

Is that all you need?

What? That's what Ms. Nam would say.

"Is that all you need?"

You sound like a real family.

Don't they?

Yes, of course.

I'm at his shoot, so don't worry.

Gosh. You're sure talking big.

You better stick to him like glue

and bring him back on time.

We'll come back to Seoul right away.

Don't worry.

Hey, what about Crazy Kang?

Is this what you're giving out today?

No guests again?

Just Soo-ho for two hours?

You should try not to rely on idols and gifts.

Try to focus on the true value of radio.

Do you think you're the only one who knows the true value?

Are you saying everything else is wrong?

Why do we use idols?

Why do we spend money on the gifts?

Yes, why do you?

It's such a cheap trick.

-That's how you ruin radio. -Ruin radio?

We have to attract the younger generation.

The world has changed.

You can't target the preexisting group.

What about in the future?

I'll say something you always say.

If we want radio to live on while this earth is alive and breathing,

we must attract the youth.

We have to show them

that we have contents that they like, and that radio is great!

You're right.

What?

What you said is right.

I'll consider it. Thank you, my friend.

Also, don't touch my table, jerk.

We have to go back to Seoul.

You go ahead. I'll go with Writer Song.

Tae-ri, you can go ahead.

Just ignore me instead.

Ji Soo-ho, get in.

A heavy snowfall warning has been issued for Gang-won Province.

-Many accidents have roads congested. -This is not good.

According to the meteorologist,

the snow clouds from Seoul is heading to Gang-won Province.

Snow will get heavier after 3 p.m.

The snow is expected to continue through tonight.

Next on the news...

SEOUL 125KM

CAUTION ACCIDENT AHEAD

Darn it.

PD Lee. What should we do?

There must have been an accident.

The bridge is blocked, and we're totally trapped.

So you can't come?

Tell me. Yes or no?

I can't be certain, but probably not.

Hey. You have a recording, right?

You must have at least one back-up, right?

Hey, Geu-rim.

You told me not to worry

-and that you'd bring him! -Hi.

Can you send a broadcast van from Chun-cheon?

Hey, Geu-rim.

Do you really want to get fired?

So where are you right now?

We're going on air, no matter what.

Get yourself to a nearby station somehow.

We did plenty of mobile broadcasts, right?

Get your act together.

You'll work out of a broadcast van.

-What about you? -I'll be in Seoul.

You'll need to rewrite the script. You can do it, right?

Here's the opening and story about Dong-il Elementary's graduation.

PD Lee. I have a good idea.

Yes.

Okay, Newbie.

We'll broadcast in parts as you said,

but you're in charge over there, okay?

Yes, sir.

Set it up in an hour.

The story is good today, so trust yourself.

-Let me talk to Soo-ho. -Soo-ho...

Soo-ho.

You told me not to call Geu-rim Newbie, right?

You said you were a pro, right?

So? What are you getting at?

Please treat Geu-rim like a chief writer for today.

We have to broadcast from there today.

I won't accept any mistakes.

I won't make any mistakes. Don't you make any either.

It'll work out.

Here.

You're shaking.

-I'm not shaking from the cold. -Exactly.

Tell me what I can do right now, and I'll do it.

We need to broadcast live from here, right?

Yes.

And you and I must do it somehow.

Yes.

So let's get our acts together, stop shaking,

and do what we need to do.

Okay. What should I do first?

Then...

Well...

I need your help.

DONG-IL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GRADUATION

I need to write the script within an hour.

It'll be about this school's graduation.

Please interview Sang-goo, the last graduate.

He's similar to you, so you'll probably get along.

Won't you stop me?

-Will that stop you? -No.

Then do it.

What's your deal?

Why do you keep following me around?

You're with that poodle hair woman, right?

You really are similar to someone.

What? Get lost!

Did you say stuff like that to your friend, too?

What?

Did you wish he wouldn't go,

so you pushed him away,

telling him to leave?

Go!

Just go to Seoul by yourself!

Go!

How did you know?

I know.

But...

he won't come back.

People who won't come back will never return.

JI SOO-HO'S RADIO ROMANCE

JI SOO-HO'S RADIO ROMANCE

Hey.

-Where's Sang-goo? -He said he'd go and wait.

He must've gone to his teacher.

I couldn't do this.

That's fine.

The script...

May I look at it with you?

Get the song list exactly right.

Yes, sir. I did.

We need assistance. Thanks.

The equipment is all set up, right?

Sang-goo is missing!

He suddenly came and asked for Gyo-min's address.

He asked where in Seoul he moved to.

He just left.

I thought he'd be back soon.

What do we do now?

I based the script on him.

We'll have to cancel the show.

-I'll call PD Lee. -Wait.

Let me look for him.

Did you...

tell Sang-goo about Gyo-min?

He went to Seoul to get treatment,

but he never came back.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said what I said.

However, it's the truth.

Don't wait for someone who won't come back.

However,

there are people who want to return, but are unable to.

Someone said this to me long time ago.

"Just because you're not crying

doesn't mean you're not sad."

"Just because you're smiling

doesn't mean you're happy."

You're still...

small, weak, and young.

If you keep holding in your tears,

you'll end up like me.

He said he was going to Seoul.

He promised to return...

before the graduation.

He told me to wait.

He promised.

But I told him to go.

I told him I wouldn't wait for him.

That's what I told him.

I feel like he's not coming back...

because I told him to leave.

That...

That really

aches my heart.

Should I wait for him without of graduating?

Or...

should I go ahead and graduate?

I'm waiting for him to tell me.

Should I tell you what you should do?

You can ask him yourself.

How?

Through the radio.

He'll be listening to you somewhere.

How many minutes do we have left?

Ten minutes.

PD Lee.

-Hun-joong, get ready to go on air. -What?

Okay.

Mic test, one, two, three.

This is Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance. One, two, three, two, two, three.

Cue.

I was sending

signals with my flashlight.

How long were you doing that for?

Up until now,

maybe about 10,000 times?

I told him to come back soon.

We should hold hands and do it together.

Just like how we planted the plants together

and how we played soccer together.

We should graduate together too.

I wanted to apologize

for telling him to leave.

I actually wanted to ask him not to go.

This is Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance.

Yes, we're receiving stories. You can upload it on our bulletin board.

This is Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance.

This is Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance.

-We're receiving stories. -Yes, go ahead.

Thank you.

This is Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance. Yes.

DO YOU HAVE ANY LAST COMMENTS?

Do you have anything else you want to say?

Please help our school

to keep running.

I won't graduate.

If I'm not here

and if the school is gone,

my friend has nowhere to come back to.

We promised to graduate together.

If I graduate alone,

I would be breaking our promise.

LASTLY, A SPECIAL SONG FROM THE CHILDREN.

Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance.

We have a special song for our ending.

The children of Dong-il Elementary School

will sing Sanulrim's Goodbye.

-Goodbye, my friend -Goodbye, my friend

-When the foghorn sounds -When the foghorn sounds

-Will you cry for me -Will you cry for me

-Without anyone knowing -Without anyone knowing

-When everyone is asleep? -When everyone is asleep?

-Goodbye -No!

-My love -My love

This is so sad.

-When the stars twinkle -When the stars twinkle

-Will you say it for me -Will you say it for me

-Without anyone knowing -Without anyone knowing

-That I went far away while crying -That I went far away while crying

Soo-ho.

You don't have to follow the script for the ending.

-Say what you want for the closing. -What?

I didn't write this by myself today,

but we made today's show together.

It would be great if you said what you really want to say.

I heard this on the radio once.

"Just because you're not crying...

doesn't mean you're not sad."

"Just like how smiling...

doesn't mean you're happy."

"Just because you're not crying...

doesn't mean you're not sad."

"Just like how smiling...

doesn't mean you're happy."

A friend of mine said this to me

one day.

Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance.

We'll end today on that note.

Hey, PD. Lee.

Yes?

The bulletin board...

JI SOO-HO IS A MURDERER!

We got this a few days ago, too.

JI SOO-HO IS A MURDERER.

JI SOO-HO IS A MURDERER.

Yes, so...

The patient I'm in charge of

will get into a relationship he never experienced before.

I have no idea how he'll react.

I'm so curious.

Aren't you?

Where did Soo-ho go?

I'm not sure. Maybe to the men's room?

Hey, when did you two get so close? What's the secret?

He said he's the same as me.

He also didn't want someone to leave.

But he told that person to leave.

Do you know who that is?

Those who won't come back won't ever come back.

That's what he said.

He must be waiting for someone too.

Also...

You should go home.

I gave you my number, right? Call me if you're ever in Seoul.

Let's go. You should go too.

Are you telling me to go or not?

I mean it this time.

Congratulations on your graduation.

Oh, by the way.

Where should I hang this?

Where did you hang your diploma?

I... don't have one.

WOO JI-WOO

WOO JI-WOO

GRADUATION CERTIFICATE, JI SOO-HO

I'm so happy.

I had a dream making these baby steps.

You read my manuscript today.

I took my first step in my dream.

My first stamp on radio listeners.

Soo-ho, thank you so much.

I'm really curious about something.

-What is it? -It's about your closing comment earlier.

"Just because you're not crying doesn't mean you're not sad."

"Just like how smiling doesn't mean you're happy."

That's literally my favorite line.

Where did you hear that from?

When I look at things like this, I think we have a little in common. Right?

When I was really young,

I suffered a high fever for three days.

However,

neither of my parents knew.

Isn't it funny?

Not at all.

What's funny about it?

Whenever I'm sick,

my mom taps on my back like this.

My heart feel warm.

And I don't feel sick anymore.

I heard this on the radio once.

"Just because you're not crying...

doesn't mean you're not sad."

"Just like how smiling...

doesn't mean you're happy."

Song Geu-rim.

Don't you...

remember me?
