Original subtitles

I call my mother as CEO.

She's not my biological mother.

I found about it on my ninth birthday.

Father wasn't home.

He went on a trip with his lover.

This is the real side...

of my family that people envy.

Soo-ho.

I found out one thing about you.

You're talking, even when you're not.

I noticed that about you.

So even when you're not talking, you were saying something.

I now know.

When you go into silence...

I used to think, "Is he ignoring me again?

What's wrong with him?"

But you were trying to tell me all this time.

You'd say, "Get lost,"

or "Never mind,"

or "Help me,"

or "Hug me.

I want to cry."

The silence was a form of your language.

So when you look at me without saying anything,

just like now...

I want to hug you.

Cry all you want.

EPISODE 10

Why did you cry?

Soo-ho, you're helpless.

You're here.

How did you get in?

I chose not to come in, not because I couldn't come in.

Your password is easy.

It has been a while to see you like this.

Where's Dad?

I don't know.

Isn't it strange?

Whenver there's a problem, he's away,

and it's always you and me.

Were you with Geu-rim until...

Good night.

SONG GEU-RIM

JI SOO-HO

Yes?

It's me.

I know.

-Before... -Before...

You go ahead.

You go first.

Well...

I've thought about it on the way back.

It's my hand's fault.

Huh?

It's not even the first time.

Why did I do that?

What's wrong with my hands?

You did it 12 years ago as well.

Why do you keep hugging me?

Well, it's not like I hugged you everyday.

It's the third time already. Why do you keep hugging me?

Well...

It's like you want to hug a little puppy when it's shivering.

What?

It's like that...

You're saying I'm a dog?

No.

I'm not saying you're a dog.

It's just...

I just felt like hugging you before.

So I just wanted to thank you.

Thank you for today.

Go get some sleep. Don't think about anything tonight.

OK.

What's wrong with you, Geu-rim?

What's wrong with you, Soo-ho?

Out of everyone, why in front of Geu-rim?

Why do you keep hugging him?

We'd like to withdraw JH members from KBC.

What's going on?

What are you talking about?

Unless you keep Soo-ho away from the radio.

The radio won't be impacted much without Soo-ho, but we will be.

We've adjusted his schedule to fit radio for a month because he wanted it.

That resulted in a great loss to the company.

But we can't just change the DJ--

We have a freelancer anchor, Dong-joo.

How would you like that?

Kim Dong-joo?

Would he do the radio though?

But...

Soo-ho's program is a hit now.

I think we can negotiate to record...

With his new drama, his schedule won't fit for the radio.

If you let Soo-ho go,

you can earn all other contracts.

We'll continue to support you with other stars from JH.

Please keep this confidential

until everything is decided.

Ra-hui.

It's been almost a month. I didn't get a single report about Geu-rim.

We still have time.

The problem now is...

J dissappeard, and our program is in big trouble.

We don't even know what to air from today...

You're slow to notice what's going on.

What?

I'm asking for your responsibility on the work I assigned to you.

I tried to do everything I could--

It's a give and take. Nice and simple.

Make sure Geu-rim is out of the picture.

What is it?

Do you want me as a doctor or as a friend?

Eat first, even though it's not much.

It really isn't much.

You know...

Do you remember what you said?

What?

Whether it's sad or happy

or annoyed,

you told me to tell you when I cry.

Did you cry?

What do you mean by "cry"?

What does that mean?

In front of whom? That makes a difference.

Whoever it is, this person understood you very well.

I guess you'll get super busy.

Soo-ho.

Hey.

What's going on, so early in the morning?

Can you drive?

What?

I need to go to work.

What...

But your house is much closer to the work.

Why would you come all the way to my house?

So, can you give me a ride home?

What?

Since it's closer to work, drop me off at my house.

You said you're going to work, but now you're home.

Have you gone insane? I'm late.

Take this car. You can ride it for a while or forever.

What? What's this car...

And the gift in the back, you can keep it.

What is he?

What are these?

Is it some sort of a drama?

I had to drive back because I couldn't give you the key back.

But you need to take the car back.

I'm busy.

Just use it for awhile.

What's up with him?

Is he doing this to make me feel impressed?

Got a new car?

It looks better than mine.

Oh, it's not my car.

Did you write the part I asked you?

You didn't do the part, and the script is this poor.

I hope you have your reasons.

And stop quoting every time.

It's easy to quote from the book, right?

I told you not to write a piece without your voice.

I'm sorry, I was too busy yesterday.

You're saying you tried the best?

"I didn't have time. This is how it was done before."

Is this your negotiation card?

Everytime I see a writer who makes excuses and rationalizes,

guess what I do.

I lured them to quit.

I can't work with people making excuses.

When you come up with all these excuses,

and you let things go, then it's over.

I'll rewrite.

You have five hours.

Geu-rim.

I'm treating you officially from now. Got it?

Isn't it insane? He told me to reorganize all records from the past three years.

Well, that's how I found this jerk's dark history from it.

Who's that jerk you've been talking about for days?

Hey, do you even understand?

Do you think me having to do this makes me feel better?

Fine, fine. That Soo-ho jerk is a badass

and an annoying person.

Stop sending the video clip--

What are you saying? Our precious Soo-ho is nice. Bye!

You always come in when I'm on the phone.

I'm not that badass.

What does he mean by the video?

Wanna see?

They all sound like my mom's story and my story.

That's why I like the radio.

Stop recording!

My question was what kind of radio did you want to make?

Well, for me...

I don't want love stories.

I want to make a radio where the listeners become the main focus.

You're pretty. I'll let you do that.

How can I count on that?

I'll keep this as a record.

OK, fine.

I, PD Lee, will make the radio program

where Geu-rim will be the main writer.

Wow.

What's going on? Why is it done?

What's next?

Why do you ask me?

PD is whispering something to Geu-rim.

How would I know?

Why are you so free?

Before, you were just on time. But now I see you all the time.

As advised by the great writer, Geu-rim, I'm here to make DJ and writer closer.

-Did you eat yet? -No time for that.

I need to rewrite the script, and the deadline is--

By the way, I watched the video.

You and PD Lee were talking. What was that about?

Video? What video?

Go, people will see us.

Then let's talk outside.

I need to rewrite the script.

That stupid script.. Do you only think about the radio?

Come on, why do you keep showing up and come into my head?

Take this.

A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT DIED IN A CAR CRASH IN FRONT OF KBC.

I thought it was Soo-ho's fans pranking, but something really happened.

Wait.

Is Soo-ho related to this?

Maybe he's hiding something. They manipulated the news!

We need to investigate!

Boy, read more of the listeners' stories.

JI SOO-HO MANAGER

Tae-ri, you have lots of rumors, but no evidence.

You have lots of hateful comments, but no actual story.

You have no attack plan since I got nothing.

You must be pissed.

My personal life is pretty simple, surprisingly.

What have you done for me so far?

You promised that I'll have a scandal with Soo-ho.

You gathered the press, then Soo-ho didn't show up, leaving me embarrassed.

Also you said I'll get a role as Soo-ho's girl for a drama.

Then, there was nothing.

Soo-ho will shoot a drama. And it's going.

Really?

He told me he's not.

He said he won't do it with you.

I told you.

Don't come to me, but do your work.

What did you do to make him not want to work with you?

You're not answering, huh?

Please leave a message after the--

JI SOO-HO

CONTACT JOON-WOO

MR. JOON-WOO

You're not answering either?

Please leave a message--

Are you all serious?

Why do you not answer my call?

JIN TAE-RI

I heard that you were Soo-ho's manager since he was young.

When did you start? Before 2016?

Why do you ask?

I just need to confirm something about him.

By the way, you know that he's shooting a drama, right?

I've not heard it from him directly.

It'll be hard to do it with the radio.

I'm worried that I couldn't help him

since I've quit my job.

I hope you can help him to move on.

Wait.

Has this all been decided?

Did Soo-ho say it himself?

It's about the radio.

How can I improve?

Improve what? What are you good at?

I'd like to learn about the radio.

It's not to learn about Geu-rim?

What?

I could tell you're chasing after her.

How did you know?

So you want to learn about the radio because of her, right?

The radio is similar to life.

When you do the radio,

show your all and trust. Then hug.

Then, the people listening will do the same to you.

They'll trust you.

Then they'll be hugging you.

Can you pass this to her?

She'll fall for this, I'm sure.

By the way, is this how the radio works?

What?

Do PDs and writers camp together to get ideas?

If they run around with the same goal, things might happen between the two.

It happens a lot.

My wife is also a writer.

She and I spent a lot of time together.

Then we got married.

You're a DJ...

I'm a DJ, too.

So a DJ and a writer can...

Let me ask you one thing.

You tell me the truth since we're a team.

What kind of question needs that introduction?

Will you continue to do the radio?

Well...

Let me rephrase.

Are you quitting the radio to shoot a drama?

No.

OK.

As we've agreed, we'll count on your words only.

Please leave a message--

MR. JOON-WOO

What the heck.

You ignore my calls?

Why didn't you answer my phone?

What are you doing here?

Then answer my phone!

Mister.

Please help me this once.

You know how I got here.

CEO Nam won't give you the role with Soo-ho?

I told you not to be arrogant. I knew this would happen.

Hey.

I warned you that Nam isn't someone you want to mess with.

What could I have done then?

I'd rather die than gain fame through sponsorships.

I want to act.

And I want to keep the fame. But there's no way!

I have no way either. If I had the power, I wouldn't let you be here.

You have the records!

It reveals that Soo-ho isn't Nam's real son.

Soo-ho said it himself. You have that recording.

Come on, you never listen to me.

Why don't you answer me?

When you watch a drama, there's a scene where two characters

meet by fate.

But...

it's not just the drama's characters

that have that fated encounter.

So, what are you trying to say?

Oh, well...

Our life is like a drama, meeting or parting ways with people.

So I thought...

it'd be good to tell the meanings of all encounters in our lives.

But I don't get what you're saying.

Do you know yourself?

If the writer doesn't know, how would the DJ and listeners know?

Come on, Geu-rim.

Do you know why I brought you as a writer?

Mom. The clounds are having fun.

It looks like a palette with blue, sky blue and white colors.

I feel so happy to see the sky.

So, of course I had to call you, Mom.

You'd always tell me...

I need to have a priceless experience once a day.

So I look at the sky, thanks to you.

The sky is so beautiful.

I just wanted to tell you that.

I want to be touched by your writing.

I trust that you can pull it off.

You know the thing you're good at?

Talking and writing as if you were drawing...

Write your story that way.

Tomorrrow?

Good.

Why did I give a hug to that man?

Giving a hug means

wishing them not to be sad,

and wishing that they stop crying.

WHY DID I GIVE A HUG TO THAT MAN?

JI SOO-HO

JI SOO-HO

Hello?

Can we... meet?

Why do you always pick this place?

Because there's no one here at this hour.

And I had to tell you something, and I don't know where else to go.

You could come home.

Why home every time? It's not like we're dating.

It's either your house or my house.

Why do we do that?

Then we can go out.

Go out with me. Let's date.

I like you.

Why do you make me nervous?

You...

Do I make you nervous?

Well, of course.

So what are you saying?

You don't like me?

It's not like I don't like you...

Then do you like me?

It's not like I like you...

So do you like me or not?

I don't dislike you.

Let's get out of here.

You said "let's get out." And we're home?

Eating noodles?

It's good. Very delicious.

Didn't I tell you? Paparazzi are all around me.

So you always dated either at home or in a car?

What are you talking about?

What's so embarrassing about that? You're old enough.

Before Tae-ri, was it a model? Or an announcer?

I... only liked you.

Let's eat.

OK.

Come on, eat.

There's nothing about Geu-rim.

I'm about to work on it.

Timing is essential.

Has Soo-ho mentioned anything about the drama?

He didn't say a word.

If he finds out that you proceeded with the drama without his consent,

he'll give off various emotions. I can't wait to see that.

So I'm still looking.

-There's a guest-- -CEO Nam!

Did you have to do that?

Da-seul is now threatening me!

Don't lose your temper. We'll talk later.

Whether I lose my temper or not, how am I going to clean up your mess?

My mess?

Because what you did, we're...

I'll leave you two alone.

What the heck...

Let's stop crossing the line.

I've been hurt enough from you because of Soo-ho!

Soo-ho, you're changing too much. You're scaring me.

What do you want? A little candy?

When would I get my script?

Well, actually that's why I came today.

PD Lee got so upset with me because of the script.

He told me to write my real story,

anything that bothers me or that's on my mind.

But all I was thinking about was you.

I didn't realize before,

but to get into your house, you have to pass four doors.

And JH CEO, your mother is the scariest person.

And you were the worst jerk to me in the world.

Then why did I give you a hug? It wasn't just once.

Why did I do that?

I wanted to check my feelings after I met you.

Then I can continue with my writing. That's why I called you.

But instead, you went on a date with me.

It sounds like you like me.

Just write what you really feel. I'll read it out for you.

Tomorrow, after the radio, let's go on a date again.

Yes, sir.

It seems that Soo-ho wasn't aware of the announcement himself.

But it seems like Soo-ho's own team doesn't know about it either.

Of course, we like the JH's offer.

But how can they withdraw the entire team just to take Soo-ho out?

Oh, OK.

We'll call the PD and double confirm.

We'll see how it's going.

DIRECTOR KANG HUI-SUK

Song Geu-rim?

Wow, is that you?

What'a going on? Going out on a blind date?

You have a man.

Can you tell?

Do I look that different?

It's so obvious. You never wear skirts.

What should I do then?

What is it? Who is it? You wear skirts when you're on a date.

And wear that lipstick.

It's a secret between you and me. You can't tell anyone.

Okay. Who is it?

-Oh, my! -Gosh!

Yo, I liked that script.

Geu-rim.

It's not him, right?

Are you insane?

I'm sorry, I'm not. Who is it? Tell me.

Tomorrow, after the radio, let's go on a date again.

Follow me.

Are you saying you'll do the show at the hospital, because the writer is there?

Are you like a gang?

Come on.

You were so happy and called with the high rating, so what now?

We've arranged the nice stuido for you here.

Why do you go out everyday?

Never mind.

What about Soo-ho?

Soo-ho.

Are you sure he's not doing the drama?

Are you sure everything is under your control?

I checked with him yesterday, too.

He said he's doing the radio.

What if he backstabs us?

Do you have a plan if he suddenly says he won't do it?

Director, Soo-ho isn't like that. He's become a good DJ.

Right, of course, Ma'am.

Geu-rim.

You trouble maker.

Why do all the troubles follow you?

Why do you vent out on her?

Are you done? We're leaving.

Let's go.

I see she's your team, huh?

Just do what you want.

The worst thing that could happen is get fired.

Come to the office.

You're only doing the radio. What are you thinking?

We have lots of meetings pending.

-And the schedules-- -I want to take a break.

I've told you multiple times.

So what?

Let's see.

This is not the right spelling.

How do you write like this?

-You're right. -I know.

I think it's right.

PD Lee.

Can we talk?

I thought I told you not to put your arm around her or call her informally.

Anyway, don't even make a eye contact.

Then how are we going to work?

Don't do anything with her.

So you want me to quit?

I stopped calling her informally already.

Now, I treat her professionally.

I won't do put my arm on her shoulder. Let's go in, we have a meeting.

By the way...

You only mentioned not to put my arms on her shoulder.

We've done enough tasting around last month.

The DJ did tested waters on our PD and writer.

We've also done the same with you, DJ.

But this won't work.

The hospital, the school... They were unexpected events.

It was a hit thanks to Soo-ho, but it wasn't our plan.

So what's your plan?

I'd like to come up with a plan.

So...

Do we have a meeting after the show?

What about our date?

Let's do that. We won't even have time to rest.

What about my date?

And I ask you to participate, DJ.

You can't hide anymore.

I'm doing my best to follow up with you.

I'm saying...

that's not enough.

Can you tell me in numbers what's not enough?

Numbers?

Like the rating, advertisement amount, number of questions and texts...

Did I lack any of them?

Even in the live events

that were unexpected, I've done my best.

Can you explain which part it is that's not enough?

It's important that I open my heart,

but when you scout someone like me,

you could've thought about a game plan. Why don't you open your mind to do that?

You're not wrong.

I know.

Should I write a resignation letter?

Giving a hug to someone means

inviting that person to my world.

It means wishing

that the person's sorrow goes away in my arms.

It means wishing that the person's tears stop running in my arms.

#3490 asked for a song recommendation for insomnia.

#9486 has a bad day as she was scolded by her boss.

Feel better, and have a nice sleep.

Let's listen to a song. "Turn on the Radio" by Shin Seung-hoon.

I'm your biggest fan!

Thank you.

I'm not even kidding. I love you, Soo-ho.

It's my birthday, and yours is next week.

Yes.

What I wish for this birthday...

-Is it his birthday next week? -I guess.

Can you say, "I love you"? I'll record it and listen to it daily.

Come on, my name is Cho Sun-hui.

I...

I...

I love you.

Wow, thank you so much!

Sun-hui, happy birthday.

Giving a hug to someone means

inviting that person to my world.

It means wishing that the person's sorrow goes away in my arms.

It means wishing that the person's tears stop running in my arms.

Hugging is to gladly embrace that person's life.

This is Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance. Let's listen to "Hug me" by Jung Joon-il.

Thank you, good job.

Soo-ho, why do you keep smiling?

I feel like I got comfortable with the radio for the first time.

Let's eat.

And sleep camp together.

I can't do it today. I have a prearrangement.

We'll do it without you, then. Are you leaving, too?

What?

So you have to go there?

I have to go do the meeting and plan the program with the PD.

Then when do you finish?

Well, I'm not sure. It will be late.

If it's late, it's not safe. Take it.

Even if it's only for a short time, sleep at home.

Soo-ho, I won't take it.

I said it's too much and--

What's too much?

I just want to give it to you. What is it so hard?

Fine, I understand about the car.

But did you see the gifts inside?

Did you even open one?

Can you do it, please?

I just want to show you how I feel about you, not to pressure you.

Even if it's too much,

couldn't you at least look at it?

I'm sorry, I didn't think that far. I'll open them, I promise.

Soo-ho.

Can we go out tomorrow?

I'd like to go on a date with you.

Can we go out tomorrow? I'd like to go on a date with you.

Hello.

You had no idea?

I've never hear of it.

Nam's plan is to take you out of the radio,

disband the team, and put you in the drama.

I just heard it from the planning director and it's tomorrow.

What is?

Your drama presentation.

You can't drive like that. I'll drive.

I told you 100 times that I won't do it.

I told you a million times that I hate it.

Why don't you listen to me?

You'd think I'd just follow your lead again this time, CEO.

I won't do it.

I'm not.

I told you we've signed the contract.

Why do you decide all by yourself?

Would you please think about me just once...

and wonder why I said I wouldn't do it?

Why wouldn't you,

Mother?

Soo-ho.

I wish I had a choice.

What is this?

That's my question.

What are you doing around?

It wasn't easy to cover up for you while you guys were playing around.

Who did--

What's important is that someone else also has this.

If you don't behave, this burden will all go to Geu-rim.

I blocked it once, but I can't guarantee the second time.

So you're saying I should listen to you to protect her?

Wow, you're great. I didn't think this far.

Don't pretend you don't know the responsibility you chose.

It's tomorrow, 6 p.m.

Please leave a message--

JI SOO-HO

Did you hear that? Soo-ho is out of the radio.

I heard the team is going to break up, too.

What?

I told you, I'm close to the JH CEO.

I heard it's because of the drama.

Can't he just do both?

The shooting locations are all abroad.

It's a giant scale drama. Would you do the radio then?

What happens to Geu-rim?

What about me?

PD Lee.

Soo-ho will be out of the radio.

What?

He's not doing this program.

SONG GEU-RIM

Help me please.

I won't mention double salary. Can you please help me?

What are you doing?

You told me you won't do it. You said you'd tell me first.

What are you doing?

You don't even know where you're going?

I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place.

You can't even keep your own promise.

You're not only reading the lines for your drama.

You're reading the lines for your life, too.

Please look this way.

Soo-ho, what's going on?

Are you really not doing the radio?

You didn't say anything yesterday.

Why won't you answer my call?

What happened?

We don't need that jerk. We'll go without him.

It's my fault to ask you to bring him in.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

So he's not doing the radio?

If I say I'd do the radio, you'd stop crying?

Fine, let's do it.

Let's do the radio.

I like you.

I... like you.

Thank you.

JI SOO-HO

JI SOO-HO

I told you to answer my calls.

I know what you want to say now.

And I know what you've been thinking.

You don't.

You don't know.

I do.

You were hating me, thinking that I'd be out of the radio.

But...

I'll do it.

I'll continue to do this... with you.

You just trust my words.

I wish... I can trust that.

Then trust me.
