Let's

stop this.

Let's stop being dinner mates.

Why are you saying that all of a sudden?

I broke the rule.

[And we won't cross the line as friends.]

I should be telling you that.

I crossed

the line.

You saw too much.

You saw the part of my life I didn't want you to see.

It's like showing what I shouldn't have shown you

and seeing what I shouldn't have seen.

But...

that doesn't matter to me.

It does to me.

I can't

stop thinking.

I'm a huge fan of Writer Lee Mun-jeong.

Pardon?

You can't stop thinking about her? Not me?

What?

Why would I think about you?

Goodness.

Where are you going?

To my private life.

Have you gone mad? What? Crossed the line?

Why won't you think before you speak?

Why won't you? My gosh.

[Jung Jae-hyuk]

[Missed call, Jung Jae-hyuk]

What does he want now?

What's wrong?

What happened? What is it?

I saw a snake in the tent.

What?

A snake?

Where's the snake? Where? I'll catch it.

Where is it? Where? Tell me where it is.

-Where? -There are no snakes here. Seriously.

What? What just happened?

Was that a joke?

You look like a perfectionist, but did you know you're quite gullible?

Seriously? There are no snakes here.

Hey.

[Warning, Snakes Sighted Frequently]

No way!

There are snakes here?

-Gosh. -Where?

Goodness.

Well, you're obviously sloppy.

Well, you must be so happy with your perfect self.

It's nice.

But it's bad at times.

You thought I was scared for real, right? I was kidding.

[Jung Jae-hyuk]

You can take it.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hey, Do-hee. Where are you?

I don't need to answer that.

Why did you call?

[I'm at your place to give you something.]

-But you're not home. -I don't need anything from you.

But I have something to give you. I'll go to you. Where are you?

Somewhere far.

-Who are you with? -I don't have to answer that as well.

I'm hanging up.

Do-hee...

Thanks.

It's a bit chilly, so I put it there.

Not for the blanket.

For coming here today.

We're friends. Friends who have meals together.

We can talk to each other about

anything and things we cannot tell other people.

Since we don't know much about each other,

it's easier to talk about what's on our mind.

We're that kind of friends.

Right.

Was that call from your ex-boyfriend? The one you talked about before?

If you just talk about it, it might help you feel better.

Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to.

Yes, it was my ex.

A crazy jerk

who wants to get back together when he left me without any explanation.

Sometimes, I don't know how I'm supposed to treat him

although I'm over him.

Did you know?

That I have lingering feelings about my past relationship and my past.

I really don't want to admit it,

but I spent my brightest days with him.

He's like a symbol of those days.

So treating my memories with him as if they don't exist...

If I wipe out my old memories,

my old self from the past would disappear too.

All of my memories in my 20s

would be gone.

Even if you weren't with him then,

you would have shined brightly.

I'm saying he probably wasn't with you

during all of your brightest moments.

Seriously. What's your job?

Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a therapist.

Well,

this is coming from my experience.

I guess you dated a lot of women.

No comment.

-I won't ask. -Thank you.

-Why are you staring at me? -You startled me.

Do you have eyes on your sides too?

I know it's our rule to not ask questions and not be curious about each other.

But I hate owing people.

I've been telling you about things I don't want you to know.

But you barely told me anything about your trouble.

The writer, Lee Mun-jeong, is my mother.

If you know that, you know more than other people.

As for my romantic relationships, what I told you before is everything.

Your first love who came back?

I just have a different way of accepting my situation.

It's all in the past. I neither want to linger on my past relationship

nor repeat the same relationship.

It all ends the same way.

You either leave or get abandoned.

If that's the case, I don't want to start at all.

I'm future-oriented, aren't I?

It's to have a healthy mentality in the future.

Drive safely.

By the way, it might end differently.

Instead of shutting yourself off completely like that,

you should be more positive with the way you think.

That might be a healthier approach for your mental health.

Okay.

Well then, see you next time.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Some people might say you're the doctor.

Do-hee.

You're late.

-Do-hee. -What are you doing?

You didn't respond when I called you.

Waiting in front of someone's house until this late without an appointment.

Suddenly grabbing someone's hand without permission.

You're not supposed to do any of these.

Didn't you learn that?

Do-hee, what's gotten into you?

Don't be mistaken and think that I still have feelings for you.

I'm making it very clear where you stand.

How could you?

Let go of her hand first.

Wait, who's that? Is that your boyfriend?

What? No.

My tragic first love.

[With Hae-kyong]

Do you know him?

Are you okay? Let me see.

Are you all right?

Who is he?

Who are you?

I asked who you are.

My boyfriend.

I don't have to explain this any further, right?

Do-hee, what are you talking about? How can you have a boyfriend?

You're lying, right?

This can never happen again.

If I see you again, I won't let this slide anymore.

Let's go.

Drink this.

Thanks.

Let me see.

Gosh. Goodness.

Earlier...

We're even now. We both used each other for covers.

You always catch me in awful moments.

That doesn't make you awful.

Thank you.

I know it's not my place to say this,

but you should be careful with that guy.

Okay.

What happened? Is it a green light?

Wait, hold on. Did you cross the line?

I did.

How? How did you cross it?

I crossed the line

and started a fire.

My goodness. Look at you, girl.

What happened? Give me details.

We crossed the 38th parallel.

Oh, no! The 38th parallel!

Hello.

Can we talk?

Here.

What's this?

Yun-a and Jeong-hun are getting married.

-I see. -They've been together for a long time.

They're finally getting married.

Thank you for giving me the invitation.

Do you want to go together?

No.

Do-hee.

Is he really your boyfriend?

Yes.

Hello.

[Medical Chart]

[Park Geun-hee]

Hello, Geun-hee.

[Doctor?]

Yes. Are you all right?

[I'm sorry.]

Gosh, it's all right. I'm okay as long as you're fine.

That's why I come here.

If you don't need my help, that's better.

[You will still come even if I call you]

[out of the blue, right?]

-No. [-Doctor.]

Don't book a last-minute session next time.

Call me and invite me for a delicious meal.

Then, I'll always come.

[Thank you, doctor.]

Okay.

Take good care of yourself.

Bye.

["That's when she showed up."]

Would you like to order?

I'll order once my friend gets here.

Okay.

I thought you wouldn't make it.

I tried to forget about you,

but I could not.

What a crappy piece of novel.

I will start an ear-massaging ASMR for today.

Oh, gosh.

Goodness, Jin-kyu!

Do you know how much concentration this work requires?

I'm sorry, So-ra.

I just can't... Oh, gosh.

Hey, you take over and shoot it.

Gosh, I thought I was going to lose it.

Gosh, I really can't stand it.

Your coffee is here.

[Panama La Esmeralda Geisha]

[Panama.]

[La Esmeralda.]

[Geisha.]

Ma'am, would you like to order?

This one.

The "Panama La Esmeralda Geisha".

I'll have one of that.

Yes, ma'am.

It smells so good.

It has a classy fruity scent to it.

Ah-yeong.

Why are you here alone?

-Are you here for the meeting? -Yes.

Ah-yeong, I have a question.

Is Do-hee seeing someone?

What?

Never mind. I'll get going first.

[Relax Psychiatric Clinic]

Welcome.

Excuse me,

is Dr. Kim Hae-kyong in office?

If it's your first visit, you have to make an appointment.

Is he not here?

No, he's out on a business trip.

Can I help you book a counseling session?

No, thanks.

Well...

Let's do it.

Excuse me? Do what?

The Jin No-eul show.

We'll make it first and then get her confirmation.

If the show is fun, Ms. Nam will be cool with it too.

Okay?

Hey, Jeong-hwan.

You said you had faith in me.

You said my shows were the best.

Please help me this once.

I do like your productions,

but Ms. Nam pays me.

We already have loads to do too.

Producer Park?

I mean, Jin-kyu. You like Jin No-eul. Right?

No. I'm a man who knows how to differentiate work and personal feelings.

I'm a professional.

Hello.

Hello, No-eul.

Please come in.

Sit wherever you'd feel comfortable.

Okay.

Jin-kyu.

-You're going to help me, right? -What?

-You're going to help me, right? -Yes.

-You're going to help me, right? -Yes.

-Let's go. -Let's try it once again!

-See? -Okay!

-Hi, you're here. -Hey.

Dr. Kim. We had a visitor earlier.

-"A visitor"? -Yes.

I don't think he was here for counseling.

How should I put it?

He didn't even share his name.

He just asked, "Is Dr. Kim Hae-kyong in office?"

He did look familiar.

He didn't leave a number?

No. He just left like that.

He didn't say much, but he was very charismatic.

I'm sure I've seen him before.

I wonder who he was.

If you were that curious about him, why didn't you just ask when he was here?

Yes, it was like this. Do it again.

If you were that curious about him, why didn't you just ask when he was here?

Very similar. One more time.

Are you kidding me? Goodness, get lost.

[Let's go on a trip together.]

[Writer Lee Mun-jeong: Let's go on a trip together.]

Where did he go?

Did he move to another convenience store?

Okay.

All right, my dear B-class colleagues.

I'll see you again next time.

Each of you should bring at least one idea by then.

Don't forget.

Okay, good.

Gosh, I'd like some chicken with beer.

-The best chicken-- -Fire-spicy chicken with chili!

Soulmates of the century right here.

Shut it.

Shall we go for a round of chicken and beer?

-Sure. -I'm in.

What about you, No-eul?

I'm sorry, I have an appointment.

I'll see you tomorrow.

-Okay. Bye, No-eul. -Bye.

-What about you, Producer Woo? -I'm not going either.

-Why not? -Why not?

-I have to work. -Goodness.

You'd burn someone with those glaring eyes.

Please go ahead, everyone.

-Okay. -Bye.

-Let's go. -Gosh.

[The Understanding of Content]

-I'm leaving. -Okay.

Ms. Jin?

Didn't you have an appointment?

Producer Woo, do you want to have dinner with me?

[Your dad was having a blast with that cafe owner while drinking beer.]

[I've lived with him for 30 years.]

[But I didn't know he could laugh that much.]

Things are tough because of me, right?

It's not that. I was thinking about something else.

What were you thinking about?

I was thinking about someone I hate, whom I can't hate at the same time.

I see.

Is it Reporter Jung?

No, he's just...

Well... Why don't we order first?

Sure.

Let's see. What do you think will be good?

This one?

-We clicked. -I know.

Hello?

Yes?

Your pizza is here. Please enjoy.

-Gosh, it looks good. -It looks delicious.

-Please eat up. -Yes, you too.

-Cheers. -Cheers!

That's how you eat pizza?

I've always had pizza like this.

The cheese in the crust is amazing.

I see. Let me try.

It's good, right?

Anyway, thank you for putting your faith in me.

Not at all. I told you I'm investing in you.

By the way, can I call you by name when it's just the two of us?

I've never really had an older friend.

Okay, No-eul. Let's toast to that.

Do-hee, cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers.

Do you really know Kim Hae-kyong?

Oh, that.

Kim Hae-kyong is my ex-boyfriend.

That jerk...

I mean, Kim Hae-kyong is your ex-boyfriend?

-Yes. -You wanted to cast your ex-boyfriend?

You work with Reporter Jung too.

Well, that's...

Is everything really over between you and Reporter Jung?

Yes. We're totally over.

We're so done for each other to the point it's like this.

If it's a movie,

it's when all the closing credits are gone,

the post-credit scenes are done,

and the screen is black as the theater lights come back in.

You're very firm about that.

How could you be so firm about a relationship like that?

It's so hard for me to forget about him.

It didn't happen to me overnight.

You wouldn't know how long it took me to move on.

I really missed him,

cried over him, and despised him

for so many times.

You become okay once you exhaust yourself out.

You probably can't forget about him because you still have feelings for him.

Gosh, do you think he still has feelings for me too?

Goodness.

If he can't recognize your value,

he's the one who has issues.

Hey, Do-hee. Do you like someone right now?

You do, don't you?

No, I don't.

Oh, this...

This is Mr. Kim Hae-kyong.

He looks better than you think, right?

Kim Hae-kyong was that man?

No, wait.

That man was Kim Hae-kyong?

And Kim Hae-kyong is

No-eul's ex-boyfriend?

Fine. Who cares?

Kim Hae-kyong doesn't know about me.

I don't have to see him again.

I won't.

[Kim Hae-kyong?]

[What's going on?]

Come sit down since you're here.

Don't blame Geon-u, I'm the one who asked him for you.

I'd like to introduce you to someone too.

"Introduce me to someone"?

She went to the bathroom.

You know Producer Woo, right?

Who?

Producer Woo from 2N BOX?

Why is she here?

You'll be working with her as well.

I'm sorry. I'll get you back to the store safely later.

I'm so sorry.

-I'm leaving. -Hae-kyong, wait.

[Producer B-class]

-Hello-- [-Don't answer me.]

-What? -Don't answer me, just listen.

Hurry and come out with my bag.

-"Your bag"? [-No, don't answer me.]

Just please get out of there with my bag, will you?

Don't even mention my name, okay?

Well, the owner of this bag says

she's having a stomachache.

Producer Woo?

Yes, it's nothing serious though.

Anyway, I'm going.

Hey. Geon-u.

No-eul.

Please don't do this.

You will eventually do it with me.

-You can leave with this man. Here. -Oh, okay.

What's this? You want me to get this back there?

Yes. I can't go there.

Kim Hae-kyong is there.

Do me a favor, Geon-u. Okay?

Why don't you say hi to him in person?

No. For goodness sake, no.

Why can't you?

Hey, Geon-u!

Hey, Hae-kyong.

-Hey. -What's going on?

Is that Producer Woo?

-Excuse me. -No, it's not.

How can that be Producer Woo? That's Yang Joon-il.

Are you kidding me?

I'm serious. That's Yang Joon-il, the singer. Let's go.

[What's really going on?]

Everyone was against it because of No-eul's latest scandal,

but Producer Woo is pushing it.

She said No-eul did nothing wrong.

Despite her show being canceled

for not being able to cast Dr. Kim Hae-kyong,

she's sticking to her guns, going against the company.

She's so reckless and brave. I admire that.

It would be nice if you could help

both Producer Woo and No-eul.

You know how significant you are to No-eul.

No-eul acts like she wants me back, but it's only temporary.

Because she feels like

she could go back to her glorious self once she gets me back.

She should not be hung up on the past. It's bad for her.

She needs to overcome her obstacles herself.

You know you're diagnosing your own relationship, right?

Hey, why don't you stop stressing yourself in the middle

and just be a nice friend to No-eul?

Is that an occupational hazard or what?

So Kim Hae-kyong and Jin No-eul used to be together.

Jin No-eul still has feelings for Kim Hae-kyong.

And Kim Hae-kyong

doesn't seem so.

It's simple.

Their relationship is so simple,

and why is mine so complicated?

All right.

Let's just focus on work.

Don't look.

["He and the Table"]

See?

Isn't this great? I don't think about him anymore.

[Hurry and take it off!]

[It's so hot!]

[Are you okay?]

-He's not on my mind. [-Do you know him?]

-Are you okay? Let me see. -Are you all right?

I can't...

help but think about him.

[Eating Show]

Hello, everyone.

How have you been?

Today, I'm going to eat two foods that go well with each other.

It looks so...

Hey. Tell her to leave some.

Buy yourself some later.

She ate everything last time.

Ms. Woo, how about we shoot

with big sushis next time?

-Okay. -It's really tasty.

How did you fit that in such a small mouth?

Hey, you're here.

Here. This will help you digest food.

That was just an appetizer to me.

Thank you.

I knew he would do that.

-Gosh, it stinks. -It stinks!

Oh, come on! You're so annoying!

What?

Ms. Woo Do-hee.

Yes?

We need to talk.

-Will you eat more later? -Yes.

-You will? -Yes!

You look completely off.

Why did you want to see me?

What's with the outfit? You look horrible.

I have been working all night.

When your employee looks tired because she worked all night,

you should give her a bonus, not criticism.

Don't be ridiculous. I know you.

What have you been doing...

I didn't do anything.

Nice move.

If you're going to nag me, I'm going to leave.

Wait.

Do you know where he went?

What?

-I haven't seen him lately. -Who?

All my team members came to work today.

-That's not what I meant. -Then who are you talking about?

The parasol guy at the convenience store.

What? Why do you want to know that?

I haven't seen him lately either.

Did you

visit my neighborhood without telling me?

Well...

I went to the convenience store to buy something.

There are so many convenience stores near your place.

BU, JS25, Six Eleven,

and even Bigstop.

Stop goofing off and get back to work!

Fine. The mere employee should get back to work.

When I meet him, I will tell him that you visited.

That wouldn't hurt.

This tastes good.

[Dinner Mate, 2]

Maybe she's busy.

[Ambulance]

Who are you? Get off of me!

Fire!

Oh, no!

I'm going to be cooked alive!

No way.

[Dinner Mate, 2]

[Has something...]

[To quote Writer Lee Mun-jeong's novel,]

["Just like love is about timing, breaking up is about timing as well."]

["Now is the time I must leave him."]

[There are lovers who have to leave each other despite their love.]

[And there are lovers who have to love each other]

[even though they have to break up.]

[What's your relationship like?]

[Can we meet tomorrow briefly?]

[Are you asking me out to dinner?]

[Dinner Mate, 2]

[No, I just want to see you briefly. I have something to say to you.]

"Something to say"?

I thought we were not supposed to meet for something else than dinner.

I wanted to say it over the messenger,

but I thought I should tell you in person to show respect.

Let's stop being dinner mates.

Okay, fine.

I would like to hear your reasons first. Why?

As you know, when we first met in Jeju Island,

I wasn't myself.

I'm the one whose head got injured.

Whenever something ridiculous happened, you were by my side.

I think that's why I thought you were special.

There's nothing special about you.

A stranger is a stranger.

But I don't see

how that can be the reason why we should stop being dinner mates.

I don't know you.

I don't see a future with us.

I don't want to waste my time anymore.

Like you said, I should live for my future.

Thank you for everything.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

[ON Cafe]

Ah-yeong?

Hey.

You're here.

What are you doing here? You didn't tell me you'd come.

Did you come to see that guy?

Do you like him?

I'm not crazy. I would never like a man like him.

What's wrong about him? He seemed like a nice person.

You shouldn't like someone just because he's nice.

Is everything okay? What's wrong?

Ah-yeong.

What's wrong, Do-hee?

What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

Did someone hit you?

No.

Gosh.

Sit. Would you like to have a drink?

It was Kim Hae-kyong.

What?

That man.

My dinner mate.

That man was Kim Hae-kyong.

Why are you crying again?

Did he say mean things to you after he found out who you are?

I should go to that punk and...

Don't be mean to him.

What?

He doesn't know.

What do you mean? You've got to make me understand.

Seriously.

So I'm saying

-that man was Kim Hae-kyong -Okay.

and he doesn't know that I'm Woo Do-hee.

Then what's the problem? Just stop seeing him.

That dinner mate thing is just about having dinner, right?

I can eat with you.

What's the big deal?

We did have dinner together. There was nothing more.

But it wasn't just about eating together.

Do you

like him?

I don't want to.

I will not.

I will not like that man,

Kim Hae-kyong.

I will not like him.

It's okay.

Goodness, my crybaby.

Are you the convenience store guy?

What...

I thought you might get scared.

I told you

to walk by my side.

Why did you cut your hair?

Why are you laughing?

Where have you been?

[Where shall we meet?]

[Ah-yeong]

[The world is big, and there are tons of men.]

[I don't need men.]

[Dinner Mate, 2]

[Are you asking me out to dinner?]

[Do you want to have dinner with me?]

[How about tuna?]

[Setting]

[Do you really wish to delete this conversation?]

[Confirm]

[Where shall we meet?]

[Dinner Mate, 2]

[The conversation cannot continue.]

[I don't know you.]

I don't see a future with us.

I don't want to waste my time anymore.

["On the Prairie" playing]

Finally, she's getting married.

Tell me about it. What about you?

Not any time soon.

It's not easy. It's really not.

By the way, you guys make a great two shot.

-Is that so? -Yes.

-Do we look good together? -Yes.

I look good when I'm by myself.

-I'm a big fan. -Why, thank you.

-Nice to meet you. -You know,

Ryu Ji-gwang is the most popular trot singer these days.

I put extra effort into it because it's Yun-a's wedding.

-You're so handsome. -Thank you.

Hey, let's go for a drink.

Do-hee, you're in, right?

-Ji-gwang, you're coming too, right? -Sure.

Don't you touch him.

I should get going. I have work to do.

-See you around. -Bye.

-Hey. -Yes?

You guys aren't back together?

I'm doing my best.

Let's drink.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Would you like to have dinner with me?

[It's]

[dinner again.]

[This time, I know the man's face, name, and even profession.]

Hey, there are tons of men in this world.

Stop crying!

But there's only one Jae-hyuk in the world.

Bring him here now.

-I can get you another man. -I don't want any other men.

["The world is big, and there are tons of men."]

[This is what Ah-yeong said to me]

[when I was crying my eyes out for days]

[after breaking up with Jae-hyuk.]

[It didn't mean anything to me then.]

[Even if there are tons of men in the world,]

[I thought it was meaningless if I couldn't be with Jae-hyuk.]

[When I broke up with Yeong-dong,]

[people said the same thing.]

[That's when I thought]

[there may be tons of men in this world, but none of them are trustworthy.]

Hey!

What are you doing?

[But then...]

[Kim Hae-kyong showed up.]

How much is...

[He didn't know anything about me,]

[but he saved my life, listened to what I said,]

[and ate with me.]

[It all ends the same way.]

You either leave or get abandoned.

If that's the case, I don't want to start at all.

[It never started, but it ended already.]

[Maybe I can move on]

[if I try hard.]

[Maybe it will be nothing]

[if I pretend it is.]

[That's when I realized]

[that your efforts to deceive your heart]

[come to nothing when you truly like someone.]

[Psychiatrist Kim Hae-kyong]

My name is Kim Hae-kyong.

From now on, if you want to contact me,

contact this number.

[Dinner Mate]

[-"Do-hee."] -"Let go of her hand first."

Who's the one? Is it both?

[If you're going to regret whether you do it or not,]

it's better to go through with it and regret later.
