Original subtitles

I'm so happy!

I had a dream about making these baby steps.

I took my first step in my dream.

You made it happen by reading my scripts today.

My first stamp on radio listeners.

Thanks, Soo-ho.

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

The phrase you said earlier...

"Not crying doesn't mean you're not sad.

Smiling doesn't mean you're happy."

That's actually my favorite phrase.

Where did you hear it from?

It doesn't seem like

we have nothing in common, right?

I heard this from radio.

"Not crying

doesn't mean you're not sad.

Smiling

doesn't mean you're happy."

Geu-rim.

You...

don't really remember me?

What are you doing...

I'm sorry about hugging you earlier. I was way too excited.

I suppose it's the same for you, right?

Guess we got too excited.

Because we finished the live broadcast successfully.

Because the scenery here is magnificent.

Guess we are out of our minds, right?

That's not it.

What?

Then... what was that?

I don't know what's wrong with me, but...

I can't stop...

thinking about you.

PRODUCER ROUGHNECK

Yes, producer.

I finished up the work already...

And I'm with him...

What?

You are gonna come to pick me up?

Let's go. I'll give you a ride.

EPISODE 7

Well... Soo-ho.

My goodness!

There's nothing! Why did you honk?

-By the way-- -God, I can't see anything!

That's a blinker.

You should push this.

-Anyways, earlier-- -Goodness, it's so cold!

Seriously? Turning on the air conditioner now?

-Soo-ho. -Stop talking. Let me listen to the radio.

RADIO [SMILE FM] [METROPOLITAN AREA]

I'm ready to talk now.

Um...

Um... um...

Um?

Um?

Seriously? All I heard for two hours is "um".

Just tell me the reason why--

-Do you want me say whatever I want? -Yes, just say it!

Um... um...

I guess I'm not ready today.

For what?

I need time for something.

I'll talk to you tomorrow. Give me some time.

-Why do you even need-- -Get out. Go home!

Wow... unbelievable.

What's up with him?

What's he gonna talk tomorrow?

My gosh, forget it!

I'm home, patient!

You didn't get any sleep again?

You must have stayed up all night missing me!

Hey.

Is it possible... to forget someone completely?

Well, loss of memory or alcoholism?

I need detailed info.

Forget it.

Maybe that person was meaningless.

Then...

How can you explain unexpected behaviors that I didn't even mean to?

For example?

Well, I guess...

something important in your life may have started to reveal itself.

There are few rules I stress all the time to my patients.

Don't have days and nights mixed up.

Don't overthink alone in your room.

Don't look for an answer when there is none.

Don't look for a cause in the past when things went wrong.

So stop thinking and just do whatever you want, patient!

What are these all about?

They're letters from the elementary students.

Hey, rookie.

We hit the jackpot yesterday.

That's my present for your debut. It's called Soo-ho.

What?

That plant is known for its persistent vitality.

Put it on your desk and let it protect your scripts.

By the way, it seems you've come a long way.

You hung up on me and didn't even call me back.

Don't you think of me worrying about you?

As if...

Did something happen yesterday

between you and Soo-ho?

Did you listen to Radio Romance yesterday?

It was Geu-rim's first broadcast on her own script.

Lucky her! She's on a roll ever since she met Soo-ho.

She's been promoted to main writer because of him.

-She has all the luck. -I know!

I was thrilled to have my script on the air for the first time.

And yes, I'm lucky.

But... I'm not on a roll. I'm having a hard time since I met Soo-ho.

I heard all the proceeds from this new gallery will be donated.

I'm just trying to put my thoughts into practice.

Soo-ho is in with me like always.

Soo-ho, how did you start the radio?

Well, that's...

-not the question agreed beforehand? -That's fine.

Truth is, I started before I knew it.

There were lots of mistakes and surprises.

But I've learned a lot.

And I'm having fun.

Soo-ho,

you talked very well without a script.

But... there is no reason for us to stick together

if you have your own way.

I want to focus on the radio for now.

Don't schedule anything else.

I'm very curious who made you change like this.

The writer who cast you.

Her name is Geu-rim, right?

This tteok-bokki is so good, isn't it?

-Ma'am, why do you listen to the radio? -The radio?

I listen to it while I cook tteok-bokki or prepare soondae.

I can listen to it while I work.

-Producer. -Yes.

Why did you ask me to lure Soo-ho out?

Why on Earth are you talking about him?

-It's 3,000 won, right? -Correct.

-Thank you. -Come again!

-Come again! -Bye!

Sir, why do you listen to the radio?

It's good! I'm alone most of the time while I drive.

I can listen to it 24 hours.

-Hey, rookie. -Yes.

What's wrong? You keep zoning out today.

Is the script ready?

Well... That's...

How do you think about it?

Like we saw in the tteok-bokki place or in the taxi,

people listen to the radio all the time.

What story do you want to tell those people?

I'm not trying to judge you by the script.

My job is to wait until you come up with a good story.

So...

why don't you write a story you want to tell them?

Producer,

Why did you recruit me as a main writer?

And gave you the mission to lure Soo-ho?

I wanted to see if you are the one who doesn't give up

and go for broke until the end.

What if I had failed to cast Soo-ho?

That would've changed nothing.

I had to see if I can trust you down to the wire.

So I named the most picky one I know,

and yet you came back with that picky guy.

Don't give up and go for it until the very end.

That's the way to be a good writer.

How can you explain unexpected behaviors that I didn't even mean to?

Something important in your life may have started to reveal itself.

Geu-rim, what happened yesterday...

Geu-rim, don't you remember me?

Geu-rim, I...

So stop thinking and just do whatever you want, patient!

We are gonna go get coffee. Wanna join us?

-Enjoy. -Thanks.

You always go for that thing.

What a childish palate!

She even understands his palate!

You're the only one who understands my palate.

What is he saying?

Is that Ji Soo-ho? My goodness!

Soo-ho,

how was the broadcast without a script? Wasn't it exhilarating?

You're saying that was exhilarating?

I considered giving up the show if my proposal was rejected.

That school show was my proposal too.

Gosh, this is too sweet. Rookie, give me yours.

What is he doing?

Producer, go buy a new one. You want mine all the time!

Rookie! How dare you...

There you go!

Hey!

Geu-rim,

do you have a moment?

I need to talk to you.

-We-- -Soo-ho,

I want to see you everyday.

I want to call you and talk to you everyday.

We can't let that happen again.

I was so thrilled to have my script on the air for the first time.

That was a mistake. I'm sorry.

Mistake?

We need to see each other everyday as a DJ and a writer.

Let's be on the safe side

-so it doesn't get awkward. -Awkward?

-Excuse me? -Why would you feel awkward?

That's...

You bothered me so persistently even after I told you stop following me.

And now you don't want to feel awkward? You made me feel awkward all along!

And contact me directly for everything. Don't go through my manager.

You don't even have a phone.

That producer cannot do anything without you! He calls again!

I'll... take this.

Sure, give me a second.

You can fill up your name, registration number and account number.

Here you are.

Can I make a phone call?

Now I've seen everything. You finally got a phone.

Hello writer?

Don't you feel responsible?

For what?

As you know, I'm broadcasting on your script.

I don't think I can do it tomorrow unless I master it thoroughly.

So?

l need to go through it and check answers for the segment.

I need you to come and help me.

Let's meet up at the station then.

I'm ill at ease to go to your place.

It's not easy for me to leave home. There are cameras everywhere.

You went out and came back just now!

You don't mind screwing it up tomorrow, do you?

Okay then. Let me finish my ramen.

No! Come right away.

What...

What's the occasion? Who is coming today?

Aren't you going clubbing today?

You analyzed scripts and movies so hard yesterday, especially love scenes.

Madame Nongae is coming?

No, she's just coming to work on the script.

I was right! Nongae is coming!

Dude, you are all grown up!

JI SOO-HO'S RADIO ROMANCE

I like it.

How did you know?

That's from PD Lee.

I've learned those from him.

When did you get close with him?

-Since I was the rookie-- -The rookie!

I don't want to hear that from you.

When did you start talking down to me?

Since the old times.

The old times?

Never mind. You don't even remember.

Tell me about PD Lee. What kind of person he is?

Why do you ask about him?

-Let's focus on the script. -Come on.

Producer and DJ need to get along...

to make a great show.

He's the best producer ever. He won the grand prize twice.

I've won over 20 trophies until last year.

And... every show he worked on got attention--

I won the best actor award at the Cannes at the age of fifteen.

Do you have more? Keep going!

He was the first to call me a writer--

I'm the one who read your script now!

What's wrong? Why are you mad at me?

I'll tune in and wait for you.

"I'll tune in and wait for you."

I like the closing.

P.S. Thanks for reading, Soo-ho.

Keep the P.S. in the next script, too.

Aren't you hungry?

Did you cook it all?

No, I ordered it.

We were working on the script for tomorrow...

and I ended up eating here again.

- I guess I'll leave. -Geu-rim,

is it worth for him to work on the pathetic radio stuff?

Soo-ho's time, words and behavior...

Do you even know how much they're worth?

-It is pathetic-- -Stop saying pathetic.

It's also very important who's standing next to him.

Geu-rim, I want you to leave now.

Actually, I want you to leave.

I asked you to leave nicely. Right, Mrs. Nam?

Let's go. I'll give you a ride.

I'll go by myself today.

Can't you just get in?

I don't want to come back in there.

Ask what you want to ask.

I know you don't want to answer.

I don't want to ask such questions.

Soo-ho...

Do you mind if I say something in all sincerity?

-I'll say it just once-- -What? Should I record it?

What is it?

Don't do it.

You're always acting bitter and cross.

Don't be like that.

I know you don't do it to others only.

You do the same to yourself. Please stop it.

Whenever you break their hearts,

you break your heart, too.

That's none of your business.

Don't say that with smile on your face.

Why are you smiling? It's not funny at all.

You haven't changed at all.

And I've changed too much.

Soo-ho,

have we...

ever met before?

-So what? -You know what I want.

Do you want me to go up and take it?

-Take what? -I saw it in your drawer.

I'm not gonna take it for free.

I can be your girlfriend behind Soo-ho's back.

Watch your mouth.

MRS. NAM

Yes, Mrs. Nam.

What is the effects and benefits when Soo-ho is with you?

I'm a businesswoman.

It's natural to seek a profit where I invested my asset.

It's not fair if it only benefits you.

What can you offer me?

All of my commercials and TV shows fired me.

The refrigerator ad I was about to shoot,

decided not to renew our contract.

I heard Tae-ri will replace me.

So?

I am so sorry.

I will never,

ever...

Tae-ri, let's get out.

I'm giving you an opportunity

not because you blackmailed me with the pictures.

I had enough people act up to me before.

Do you know what happened to them?

Will you do a good job if you get a chance?

Sure, I will.

Then start a romance rumor with Soo Ho.

Mom, it's gonna be cold tomorrow. Don't forget your scarf.

Understood, my dear.

About the show you did at the school,

I loved what Mr. Mean said at the end.

You used to say that around the time I got my surgery.

It felt so different to hear it from the radio.

It's his favorite phrase, too.

-Is that so? -Yes.

"Not crying doesn't mean you're not sad."

"Smiling doesn't mean you're happy."

Mom, back when I did that workshop to experience disabilities,

I would walk in the hospital hallway

with a blindfold on so I could practice.

Yes.

-At that time... -Thank you.

...I had a friend whom I used to talk with and listen to the radio every night.

Can you... remember me this way?

Oh... Right! Woo Ji-woo?

Right.

Woo Ji-woo. I don' even know his face.

TO MY MUSE GEU-RIM

Hi Geu-rim!

I'm Ji-woo.

It's a bit awkward to introduce myself

when you don't even know about me.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not usually shy around girls.

From a shy boy, Ji-woo

But his name was Woo Ji-woo.

TO MY MUSE GEU-RIM

Geu-rim, I'll take a look at your script.

My script?

I'll review it for you so that you're less ashamed in front of Soo-ho.

I started writing the script from the one at the branch school.

-Did you? -Yes.

The thing is, I handwrite scripts these days.

And the original copy is with Soo-ho now.

Do you want to get the old script instead?

There is no copy at all?

Correct.

Glaring lips. Wednesday night out!

Soo-ho will be my partner...

Who will my partner be?

#GLARINGLIPS #WEDNESDAYNIGHTOUT #MYPARTNERIS?

"Can you tell me which way to go from here?"

"That depends on where you want to go,"

said the cat.

"I didn't think about where I want to go,"

Alice answered.

Hi Soo-ho,

Guess you know me already. I'm the writer, Ra Ra-hui.

Sure, I know.

I'm quite famous in this field.

You asked Geu-rim if she thought

she could win me over in the hallway before.

Ji Soo-ho? Gosh...

How dare you! That's utter nonsense!

You don't have to remember all the details--

And that casting me was more unlikely than her becoming a main writer.

It's even harder to cast him than for you to be a main writer!

Hello.

Excuse me.

The thing is, I handwrite scripts these days.

And the original copy is with Soo-ho now.

There is no copy at all?

Hey, come here.

Hi Sang-gu, it's Geu-rim.

People who listened to our show want to hear more from you.

Can I put you on the air briefly later today?

Sure, Soo-ho will be there.

Okay, then talk to your uncle

and I'll call you in ten minutes.

Bye.

We plan to have a call with Sang-gu today.

Is that okay? You're good with a live broadcast.

I feel insecure without a script. You're asking too much.

He's not a stranger. It's Sang-gu.

Just take it easy and ask how he's doing.

Trust me. If anything goes wrong, it's my responsibility.

Then I will need Geu-rim's help next to me from today.

I don't like the tone of the script.

And it doesn't fully reflect what I want to say.

The interview with Sang-gu is too rough.

That's the way you talk.

Do you want me to write

something like, "I'm done with you! Hang up, now!

Hey, Sang-gu!

Don't bother me and get lost!"

Do you like it better now?

My gosh...

I mean... Let's keep the script for today.

I'll do as you said from tomorrow, alright?

Sure.

Soo-ho, get ready.

Oh, no!

What happened?

"Can you tell me which way to go from here?"

"That depends where you want to go,"

said the cat.

"I didn't think about where I want to go,"

Alice answered.

"Then it doesn't make any difference."

This is the conversation from Alice in Wonderland.

If you are on the middle of a road

and don't know where to go,

it doesn't matter

which road you take.

What matter is whom you are with.

Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance is starting now.

Please tune in.

-What is she doing? -Don't know.

But it seems to be fine now.

Soo-ho, what was that?

I memorized everything.

Everything you wrote down is in my head.

How did we get the pictures?

Not sure, it was in the mailbox.

Check the CCTV and get back to me.

INVENTION TO SUPPORT THE YOUNG

Okay, congrats 4422!

We'll send you cosmetics

which is an invention to support the young.

WILL DIRECTLY CONNECT YOU WITH SANG-GU

Hi, I'm Kang Sang-gu from Dongil Elementary School.

Hi.

We received a lot of gifts from people who watched--

I mean, who listened our show

to support you, Sang-gu.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

How are you doing?

These days I'm writing letters to my friends.

I will give those to them when they are back.

By the way,

how did things go with the person you told to go away?

I hope she didn't go away.

You said that you pushed someone away so hard.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I want you to either

go find her or ask her not to go away.

Don't push her away. Promise me to ask her not to go away.

Thank you!

It was awesome today! The music was so good, right?

Hey, Geu-rim!

-What's up? -Just follow me.

Take a good look. What does script mean to writers?

It's your life!

JI SOO-HO'S RADIO ROMANCE

Why do you have my script?

Geu-rim, did you hand the script to Soo-ho on a plate?

Give it back. The lesson is not over.

I warned you thousand times to take good care of your scripts.

Give it to me.

Stop reading and give it to me.

Bring them all. Now!

Are you dumb?

You are a writer just like her. Why are you staying silent like a coward?

-I don't know which rat played with it. -Excuse me?

It's none of my business if you're treated like a loser from the door out.

But I won't sit back if someone treats my writer like this.

Isn't it a man's job

to help a woman in trouble?

He scolded her instead.

Are you dumb?

You are a writer just like her. Why are you staying silent like a coward?

I won't sit back if someone treats my writer like this.

But still, she seemed to be touched.

-Who? Nongae? -That's not the point.

What did you do to help her?

I got rid of a drunkard.

And then, what did you do?

That sounds like fun.

Do I get to take writers to hotels too?

I've never done that before.

Gosh, grow up, dude.

Then... why did I trip her?

Tripped her?

Dude! When did you stop growing?

Are you disappointed?

Then don't let me or others

see you as the rookie.

And calling you the rookie doesn't mean I'm ignoring you.

And lately...

you are led by Soo-ho too often.

Well, that's...

If the DJ leads, the writer should follow.

Sometimes it's good to follow when someone leads you.

Still, don't follow him as a woman.

He says he's determined to take care of his father's health.

The fact that you understand how much he has been through

will give him great comfort.

We will send you a roll cake.

Hope you enjoy it with your father.

-Anyways, Soo-ho did a good job. -Whose side are you on?

You've got to give it to him!

-How come he memorized everything! -He's the king of memory.

Hi, let me join you!

Excuse me! Give me a rolled egg, fried sausage and fried cartilage--

Actually let me have everything! And soju and beer!

What are you doing?

What's wrong with her?

Don't you like me?

While I worked as your assistant,

I did everything you said and endured everything.

You should be proud of me!

Sheesh, why didn't you teach me?

Why did you make me a coward who cannot even write a good script?

Are you nagging me now?

Yes, I am.

Huh, unbelievable!

I am...

I didn't exactly adore you

or respect you.

How dare...

But still...

you were a mentor to me.

That's why I always did everything you said.

I thought you'd treat me like a junior eventually.

You should train her properly.

She's not your secretary or maid.

Don't treat her like an errand girl!

So what?

I'll keep her only as a sub-writer.

Then how can I use her

when you act out or disappear?

Why don't you do it?

I know what you're thinking!

You keep her only because she's easy and comfortable.

She would not dare to steal your position.

Am I wrong?

I mean...

why didn't you teach me anything?

She...

never cries. I don't like that.

Always pretends she's strong and kind...

I hate it.

What do you mean?

I mean, she can cry or talk back to me, huh?

Or she can quit!

I wouldn't hate her if she was like that.

You're so mean.

Better than being stupid.

-There's a flickering light at home. -So what?

-So come and change it. -I'm not your servant!

You promised me to change burbs for life.

Do you remember what you said when you proposed to me?

This is why we divorced!

You don't remember any of your promises!

So, do you remember everything?

Remember the day my mom injured her back?

You went to a nail salon on that day, remember?

And yet you pointed a finger at me for the divorce!

How could you!

Oh... hey!

That's a good line! It's so cool!

Where's my phone?

I've got to write it down... now.

Um... Hey!

Wait, what about the burb?

-You did what? -An article will be published today

about you and Tae-ri.

-What are you talking? -I guess you already know.

Reporters will be at the hotel where Tae-ri throws a party.

Enjoy the photo shoot.

I'm not going.

Oh! Hi, Tae-ri.

-Do you have any plans tonight? -What's up?

I have a party today. And it's quite a big day to me.

Do you want to come?

-Let me go, punk! -Hi producer Lee!

Do you want to come, too?

It's gonna be really fun.

Thanks. I'll make a visit instead.

I'll wait for you, my dear longtime fan.

How much do you know about it?

Well, let me put it this way.

-When did you know? -What?

Mrs. Nam's plan on Tae-ri and me.

You like Tae-ri for a long time.

-What do you mean... -What do you think I'm talking?

When did you find out her plan?

You can't answer it, right? Then you have no right to stop me.

I guess it's time for us to go separate way.

Are you serious?

What have you done all these years?

You've watched on me. That's all you have done!

How could you say something like that?

How do you want me to say?

Tell me. I'll say whatever you want.

What do you want!

Soo-ho called me several times today.

But I didn't answer him.

Well done.

Keep me posted on him.

Today... must be a hard day for him

because of what happened to his friend.

Hello! Nice to see you. Thank you!

-Long time no see! -You look gorgeous today.

Did you enjoy the meal?

My gosh, so good to see you again!

Enjoy!

Your call has been forwarded...

Hi Geu-rim.

Where are you?

Why didn't you answer my calls?

Where are you now?

Radio station?

Wow, unbelievable. She used to follow me everywhere trying to cast me...

How are you?

-Long time no see! -You look so skinny.

How are you?

-You made it! -Thanks for inviting me.

Not sure if I fit here though.

Actually, I've never been to a party like this.

It feels so awkward.

My fan doesn't have to feel that way!

Soo-ho will come by later.

You must know him well since you guys work together.

Good for you, right?

-Oh, Soo-ho? He's coming? -Yes.

Why? He shouldn't?

No, why not! Of course he can come.

INCOMING CALL JI SOO-HO

Did he get a phone?

Well...

SONG GEU-RIM

When are you coming?

How did you know my number?

I found out somehow.

There are many reporters here. Come quickly!

Going there is not a problem. Are you sure you can handle it?

Why do you think I can't?

I'm not coming.

Your writer is here, too.

What?

Has Soo-ho talked about me? He talks about you all the time.

He is on his way. You should see him before you go.

It's gonna be really fun.

To give you a heads-up,

Actually...

I have a relationship with Soo-ho.

JI SOO-HO

-Let me go to the restroom. -Sure.

You insisted...

You insisted on me getting a phone.

Answer your phone!

Don't ever avoid my calls again.

Follow me. I need to talk to you.

There is something I wanted to talk to you

since I met you.

I wanted to say it...

on that day, too.

What is it?

Like you.

I... like you.

What the heck is it?

-Is Soo-ho out? -Mom!

Soo-ho, what should I do?

His life is full of trouble. It's okay to add more on the radio.

-Broadcasting in a hospital? -It's day one of a training camp!

Until when should I learn my schedule by reading article?

You started the business talking.

What about this? Let's talk in turns.

I don't want to make the same mistake and lose her.

Soo-ho, have you met Song Geu-rim wearing an eye patch?
