Original subtitles

Are you curious...

about my heart?

Yes.

Ae-jeong doesn't know

about your heart, does she?

Be clear with me.

Is there...

a chance you might die?

I'll be clear with you.

I might live.

Do you want me to be clearer?

If you tell Ae-jeong about this,

"anyone" doctor,

you're dead.

Ae-jeong.

Mi-na.

Ae-jeong.

Help me.

You changed your name to Han Hye-jin.

Why did you change your name

and go into hiding?

I'm just living away from my past,

since I left the industry for good.

You know how this industry is like.

Even if you try to leave it,

it's impossible since people still remember you.

If you get in an accident right now,

you'll be in the news as Han Mi-na of National Treasure Girls.

Why did you ask to see me?

I called because I want to know

what happened to Gu Ae-jeong when you guys broke up.

You guys didn't have to

if she explained why she hit Se-ri

and made up with her.

So why did she insist that you guys have to disband?

I've put the past behind me.

You must know, since you were close to her.

I don't know anything about it.

What is Ae-jeong hiding?

There was a man watching her back, right?

She's not that kind of person.

Then

were you the problem?

Even if you've been away for ten years,

one line in the news can make you come back to this industry.

Tell me what you know

if you want to keep living quietly.

What is Ae-jeong hiding?

Is it hard to say it because you guys were friends?

Then go see your husband and baby once more,

and then we'll talk.

You didn't tell anyone

about me ten years ago.

You're going to keep that secret, right?

But Mi-na.

I have something to protect as well.

I'm sorry I'm hiding behind you again

like a coward.

But right now,

I'm so happy,

and I don't want this to end.

Please help me.

I wish I was Superwoman,

so I could protect everyone.

I want to escape from it all now.

This is driving me crazy.

Jin.

I waited for you, but you didn't come to save me,

so I just came here on my own.

Think of it as an honor.

I guess my spell to make you nicer wasn't effective at all.

The only thing that would have an effect on me is your song.

All right. Sing "Heartbeat" for me.

I don't want to sing that song anymore.

I'm going to break free from National Treasure Girl.

My new song is finished.

Really?

What is it, if it's not "Heartbeat"?

Something like "Thump Thump"?

It's nothing like that.

It's a ballad song.

Do you want to hear it?

This singer really sings well.

Right?

The demo singer is too good.

I'm going to get criticized for my singing if I do this song.

It's fine.

You didn't succeed with your singing skills, anyway.

How did you know that?

I succeeded with my pretty face and great body.

What?

Are you serious?

People said I was a national treasure

because I was pretty from head to toe.

Don't you like me for my looks, too?

That's enough. I think it's better not to see you.

Hey, the earphones...

Stay still.

I was out of battery for so long.

I have no energy.

If your heart is beating faster for me

because it's broken,

shouldn't your eyes see me as the prettiest woman

and your mouth say that I'm the prettiest since they're broken as well?

That way it would be worth being with a broken person.

You're right.

I'm broken.

Ae-jeong will get hurt.

Aren't you thinking about all the possibilities?

So you're telling me

to be considerate and back off?

That way, the people left behind won't feel so hurt and heartbroken?

Getting less hurt will help them heal faster.

Doctor. I'm so famous

that I can't disappear quietly without hurting her.

If something goes wrong, I'll die and it'll be huge news.

And even after I die,

I can't be forgotten quietly.

Why?

All the images of me left behind

will keep lingering in front of her and keep hurting her.

Are you saying you won't be forgotten forever?

Ae-jeong.

My eyes are broken, so you look like the prettiest woman alive,

and my mouth is broken, so I say such ridiculous stuff.

You look so beautiful.

Have you been greased up with too much oil because you're broken?

You're making me queasy.

I think I will slip with all the oil.

Since we're covered in oil,

should we fire up our love?

Should we? Should we start a fire?

Why don't we just make a huge explosion?

What's wrong with you?

No.

I can't take responsibility for you until the end,

so I should protect you.

You don't really need to protect me.

I'm going to make sure to protect you.

Jin.

What?

When you're fully repaired,

I won't stop you from rushing past me,

so when I come to my senses and ask you to let me go someday,

you have to let me go, okay?

Promise me.

All right.

So if I ever leave you,

you have to go without getting hurt

and endure it well.

Okay?

Are you saying you can't be forgotten forever?

So what I can do for her

is to give her more love so she can recover,

not give her less pain.

So I have to stay with her every single moment I can

and see her as much as I can.

This could be my final moment here,

-so just let me be. -Are you threatening me?

If begging you will be more effective than threatening, then I'll do it.

I don't even have time to care about my pride.

I'm

that desperate.

KANG SE-RI

I'm sorry about last time.

It's fine.

You were right. I was really pretending to be all that.

Where were you today?

I think I went to someplace strange.

Someplace strange?

Do you know a cartoon called Paul's Miraculous Adventure?

A cartoon?

Why are you talking about that?

A boy named Paul goes on an adventure

to save a girl named Nina who got captured

by the demonic ruler of the Land of Wonder.

He rides a magic car and uses a yo-yo.

Don't you know it?

I think I've seen it before.

Paul runs courageously toward Nina, who is crying.

But the timing is always wrong somehow,

and loses Nina to the demonic ruler.

That's what kids' cartoons are always like.

It ends when he saves Nina, right?

But once,

Paul succeeds in saving Nina and escaping.

But Nina says the demonic ruler is too pitiful, and lets go of his hand.

And she goes back into the Land of Wonders.

That's a strange kid.

What if Paul went to the demonic ruler

and asked him to let Nina go,

but he says that Nina is happy

so he should leave her alone?

Then I guess Paul would never have gone back to save Nina again, right?

But what if Paul still goes there to save Nina anyway?

That would make Paul

a strange kid, right?

Are you that Paul, then?

You're trying to save Ae-jeong from Jin?

Then what about me?

You?

The mushroom?

The mushroom that worked for the ruler, and gets close to Paul.

Do they really get close?

Yes.

Pil-joo said he wants to stop doing the show because of personal reasons?

Yes.

He asked to wrap things up in the next shooting.

Can't you convince him to change his mind?

Things were going so well.

Don't you feel disappointed about ending the show now?

Right.

I'm really sorry,

but I want to stop shooting as well.

-What? -What?

Pil-joo must have said it was a personal reason so I wouldn't feel bad,

but I'm the one who said we should stop doing the show.

Why would you do that?

I heard his family was opposed to him seeing you.

-Is it because of that? -It's not because of Pil-joo.

It's all because of me.

-I can't believe this. -I'm really sorry.

So it's over between you and Pil-joo?

Yes. I should wrap things up nicely

at the last recording so he won't suffer any blows.

-That jerk-- -Ae-hwan.

Just ignore him. Let's go.

You met Mi-na?

I asked her what happened

to Ae-jeong at the time when you disbanded.

She turned pale and couldn't say anything.

She was close to Ae-jeong,

so she probably won't say anything.

When she's in trouble and wants to protect what is hers,

then she'll talk.

But

you won't cause trouble for me

while you poke around for Ae-jeong's secrets, will you?

Well,

you might be affected

if Han Mi-na appears.

If people find out

you got slapped by Ae-jeong for drugging Mi-na,

you'd be in a tight spot.

Don't drag me into this.

Then when I reveal things about Ae-jeong,

just add a comment on it.

For example,

something like, "The reason I broke up with Dokgo Jin

was because of Gu Ae-jeong."

Are you thinking of dragging Jin into this mess?

I can't easily mess with him,

so I'm making you do it instead.

All right, then.

When I talk things over with Mi-na,

I'll contact you again.

I was only trying to find something bad about her to tell Pil-joo.

CHUNYEONG CLINIC

My friend has an appointment today, right?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Ms. Han Hye-jin canceled her appointment.

I really need to see her.

Can't you give me her phone number?

-We don't have her number. -What?

I called her to set her next appointment,

but it said that number didn't exist.

I'm sorry.

CHUNYEONG CLINIC

Did she get rid of her phone after meeting Mr. Jang?

Oh, my.

You're Kang Se-ri, right?

Yes.

I'm Dr. Yun's mother.

Oh, really?

-Hello. -Hello.

-Would you like some tea or something? -Sure.

Come visit often, even when Pil-joo

stops doing the show.

You can get some skincare, too.

I'll tell Pil-joo to give you a celebrity discount.

I will.

I hope the shooting ends well

so it won't cause any problems for him.

Whenever I think of how he got seduced by that Gu Ae-jeong,

I can't help but grit my teeth in anger.

Some of it was our team's fault.

If we'd known that Ae-jeong was seeing another man,

we wouldn't have let Pil-joo do the show.

What did you say?

Gu Ae-jeong was seeing someone else?

And she went on that blind date show

and received roses from Pil-joo and stuff?

I'm sorry. We didn't look into her enough.

The man Ae-jeong was seeing was also a celebrity,

so they couldn't reveal it.

A celebrity?

I think I've said something I shouldn't have mentioned.

Just pretend you didn't hear that.

Ae-jeong went way over the line!

Why did she appear on a blind date show

when she was dating someone already?

I'm sorry, ma'am. We didn't know, either.

Please calm down, and...

Wasn't the corner about

Mr. Yun and Ae-jeong doing well?

Why is it ending so suddenly?

It was just something temporary until the new season was ready.

The casting for the season is done, so it's just returning

to the usual format.

Tell the viewers on the show

that Ae-jeong already had a boyfriend!

I'll send you the details about the cast.

Why would a woman with a boyfriend

do a show where you look for a date?

This is so embarrassing.

How shameless of her.

How could this have happened?

You should've asked her, then.

Hello.

I'm Hwang Nan-gyung, a reporter for Entertainment Weekly.

-A reporter? -Yes.

You're the mother of Mr. Yun from Couple Making, right?

I am, why?

People are interested in the mother of the Perfect Man on the show.

Could I have an interview with you?

An interview?

Then would I be on the news?

Yes. You could talk about how you raised your perfect son,

and it would also be nice if you shared any backstories about the show.

There's actually something I feel upset about.

Would you write a good article if I tell you about it?

Of course.

Where? The red shirt.

That's right.

Okay, the last question.

The one with a tiger...

Thank you for helping me with my homework.

I'm helping you because you said

you might not be able to go on the picnic because of your homework.

Then you're really letting me join you on the picnic?

Sure. You're joining me and your aunt

as a fire extinguisher.

It's a shame, but we can't cause a fire.

Okay.

You can join as a fire extinguisher,

but at important moments, you have to be quick-witted and keep your distance.

What would be important?

Well...

I guess

it'll be too unrealistic to ask you to notice when those moments are.

I'll send you a signal. When I say,

"You get it, Ding Dong?"

and make my fingers like this,

then you should leave us to ourselves, okay?

-Okay. -Ding Dong.

You got it, right?

-Are you here? -Yes.

-Where? -On the right. I see you.

Oh, yes. I see you.

But

don't you think she's too noticeable?

-We can't attract attention. -Right.

Hey, Ding Dong.

All right, then. Shall we head to the meeting point?

What do you want to drink?

I'll just choose for you.

-Hello. -Hello.

Two iced coffees,

one coffee, and an iced cocoa, please.

That's 19,000 won.

I got them.

Where's Jae-seok?

He went to the bathroom, saying his stomach hurt.

I'll get the hot dogs, then.

Okay, hot dogs.

Two plain and two chilis, please.

Thank you.

Let's go. Thank you.

Ae-jeong, I'm starving.

Give me the hot dogs.

Shall we start eating? Hang on.

Hyeong-gyu, give this to him.

-Okay. -Okay.

Here. Good job.

Here, this is yours.

It's hot outside, why did you get hot coffee?

What?

There's no mustard in this.

Really?

There's mustard in this one. Want this?

Yes. I have iced coffee here. Let's trade.

Okay.

Hyeong-gyu, wait.

Give him this, and exchange with him, okay?

-Okay. -Okay.

-Here. -Good.

Good job, Ding Dong.

Here.

Careful.

Great, thank you.

Ae-jeong.

-Enjoy your meal. -Enjoy yours, too.

-Hot dog. -Hang on.

Ae-jeong, this is really good.

Oh, no.

Ae-jeong, do you have any tissue?

-Did you spill something? -Yes.

Hang on.

Hyeong-gyu, can you go to him once more?

Give this to him,

and wipe his mouth for him, okay?

Okay.

Go.

What are you doing?

Auntie told me to wipe your mouth, too.

My lips are going to disappear.

Eat up.

Mr. Gu.

What is this about Ae-jeong and Mr. Yun?

"Gu Ae-jeong had a celebrity boyfriend.

The Perfect Man was totally fooled."

What happened?

Why is there an article like this?

Where is Ae-jeong right now?

Please leave a message at the beep.

The line is busy.

Okay, then when we're done eating,

we just need to drive for one more hour?

We should buy snacks before leaving.

Hey, isn't that Gu Ae-jeong?

It is.

-I don't want to eat. -Okay, you can stop.

There's an article out about her.

What is she doing here?

She must be going on vacation.

Maybe her boyfriend is here, too.

You think so?

Yes, that one.

Hyeong-gyu, wipe your face.

Okay.

Is there anything Ding Dong particularly likes?

I already bought that.

Don't go anywhere, wait for me.

I'll head over there.

You're Dokgo Jin, right?

She must be waiting for her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend is a celebrity, too.

We might know who it is if we see him.

Should we take photos?

-Be careful. -I will.

Yes, Ms. Moon.

Ae-jeong and Jin are together right now.

Is there anything wrong?

You have to come here right now.

There's a problem concerning Ae-jeong.

We didn't even start the picnic yet.

That's not the problem right now.

It's going to be a problem if she's seen together with Jin right now.

Be careful, and come right away.

-Jin! -Hey, be quiet.

Do you want everyone to stare?

Hold this.

Jin, wait.

Something happened concerning Ae-jeong.

What?

Why isn't he coming?

Get the trash, let's go find them.

They're leaving.

Let's go. Come on.

-What? -I guess we were wrong.

She said it'd cause a problem if you two are seen together.

I'll take care of that.

Don't you dare tell Ae-jeong about the article,

got it?

Yes.

Jin, over there.

Ae-jeong.

Ding Dong, we have to do our picnic some other time.

Go with Jae-seok.

Why?

Gu Hyeong-gyu.

You get it, right?

Okay. Go with Auntie.

I'll go with Jae-seok.

See? Ding Dong understood.

Ae-jeong, let's go.

What's going on? Where are we going?

Careful on your way back.

-Let us go in. -Come on.

Just once, come on.

Wait a moment, please.

Wait a second!

Mr. Yun is inside, right?

Dr. Yun is seeing a patient right now.

There are patients here, please don't do this.

Tell him we'll just go inside for a moment and have a five-minute interview.

-Come on. -Stop this.

Hey! Oh, gosh.

Come on!

Dr. Yun.

I told the reporters to leave, but they aren't budging.

What should we do?

I'll tell them to leave.

Okay.

You can't do this.

Mr. Yun! Give us a comment.

Give us a comment.

This is a hospital. You shouldn't be here.

Did you know about Ms. Gu Ae-jeong's celebrity boyfriend?

Do you know who he is?

Don't you feel betrayed?

The feelings I showed toward Ms. Gu

on the show were real.

She told me everything truthfully,

and we decided to stop filming for the show together.

What is the reason? Tell us more specifically.

-How do you feel right now? -Give us a comment.

Do you have plans to see her again?

Please tell us more specifically.

Tell us...

THE PERFECT MAN HAD REAL FEELINGS AND IS BAFFLED ABOUT HER BETRAYAL!

THE PERFECT MAN KNEW ABOUT GU AE-JEONG'S BOYFRIEND!

GU AE-JEONG'S CELEBRITY BOYFRIEND CONFIRMED!

This isn't what I meant.

Why are the articles like this?

You know people in this field.

Tell them to fix this.

But what people want to know

is not your true feelings or Ae-jeong's backstory.

The important thing is that the Perfect Man was pushed aside

by her celebrity boyfriend, and got dumped.

But with articles like this,

Ae-jeong is going to be seen as a bad person who deceived me intentionally.

Mr. Yun.

There's nothing we can do about this.

We're upset too,

but staying quiet is the best thing we can do right now.

Her agency will probably take action.

I'm sure you know many reporters,

so please help me explain things to them clearly.

Don't get involved in this.

Everyone is focused on

which celebrity Ae-jeong is seeing, anyway.

You're not trying to reveal

that she's dating Jin, are you?

There are more and more things that I have to hide

and keep secret.

Pil-joo.

Don't think about going back to the Land of Wonders, okay?

Whatever happens to Nina, the demonic ruler will take care of it.

Where are we going?

What's gotten into you?

This was my plan all along.

I already talked this over with Ding Dong.

You saw him say he understood, didn't you?

So we're not going where we planned to go?

The weather is nice, so it'll be packed with people.

We should find someplace else to go.

-Where? -This is a big country.

I'm sure we'll find someplace to stay comfortably.

Then should I search for a place we can go to?

What are you doing?

POWER OFF

Don't turn your phone on until our picnic is over.

-Give it back. -Ae-jeong.

It's the first time in my life going on a picnic.

Until we finish our picnic and head back,

you're not allowed to communicate with the outside world, okay?

I can't get in touch with her right now.

The agency knows nothing about this.

We'll send out a press release as soon we know.

Since that scandal with the actor,

Ae-jeong has never met him.

That's not true, Mr. Kim.

She said it herself that it's not true. Why would you say that?

It's not true. Yes, I'm sure.

Isn't Gu Ae-jeong totally shameless?

She made a fool of that Perfect Man.

Who do you think is her celebrity boyfriend?

Last time on Challenge, I Can Do It

she was doing a sexy dance in front of Son Jun-seok.

My friend's boyfriend's friend is her boyfriend's stylist's friend,

and he said they met several times.

It's an online vote

about who Gu Ae-jeong's boyfriend is.

I'm posting this on my blog.

They must be having an affair.

LIST OF GU AE-JEONG'S POSSIBLE BOYFRIENDS

Take out Dokgo Jin. He's on a totally different level.

They're in the same agency,

and they did that speed quiz together.

They seemed close.

Still, those two being a couple is ridiculous.

I'm a fan of his. Come on, take him out.

Okay, fine.

There are posts online, guessing who

Ae-jeong's boyfriend is.

And reporters are just writing articles

without checking the truth.

-Jin still isn't answering his phone? -No.

How could you have left those two alone at a time like this?

I think Jin already made up his mind.

About what?

I think he's planning on revealing his relationship with Ae-jeong.

There's no one here since the view is terrible.

That's nice.

Let's just have a picnic here.

There really is nobody here.

You're right.

There's nothing to see, but I do feel comfortable.

Why don't we put our feet in the paddy field?

-There are leeches in there. -Really?

The scenery is bad, so there isn't much to do.

There's an icebox that Jae-seok brought in my car.

There will be something to eat inside.

On a picnic,

you usually spread out food and eat together, right?

But there isn't any shade here. It's quite hot.

Here.

There are too many people in cool places with shade.

There's nothing here, so nothing can bother us.

It's a cow! There's a cow here.

It's staring at us.

A cow saw us.

It's fine as long as it doesn't go to the reporters and tells them about us.

Hey, cow!

If you tell anyone, I'm suing you.

Cows can't understand if you talk like that.

You have to say, "moo."

Okay, fine.

I'm Dokgo Jin.

I'm a rich and famous celebrity.

I'll sue you if you talk.

Our negotiation is over.

But if there's a cow, doesn't it mean that its owner is here, too?

Right. It can't be a wild cow.

Then we should go somewhere else before the owner comes.

Since we've come here, why don't we take a photo together?

A photo? With this field in the background?

It's fine. The model is Dokgo Jin.

The background won't be noticeable thanks to my looks.

Would it really be okay for us to take a photo together?

I don't think we should leave any evidence.

We'll just take one photo.

I want to leave evidence

that I came here on a picnic with you.

All right, then. Let's make leave some evidence with our witness cow.

Okay.

-Is it ready? -Yes.

Come on, look at the camera. Okay.

Success.

This is pretty nice.

Let's go on walks around paddy fields

where there's no scenery or people.

Shall we?

We can visit abandoned factories,

and have picnics in deserted houses, too.

It's so hot in the sun, though.

Our top celebrity will get sunburned.

You need to take care of that pretty face.

Ae-jeong.

Where do you really want to go?

Why?

Should I ask for another interview with Section TV

and go where you want to go?

Doing that again would seem too obvious.

Then,

should I do an interview on Section TV

saying that I'm your boyfriend?

Then we wouldn't have to go to paddy fields and abandoned factories.

We could go to places with the best views.

You must be having a heat stroke.

You should drink cold water and come to your senses.

I'll go buy some water.

Who are you?

Dokgo Jin?

You're Dokgo Jin, right?

You seem to be rather advanced in years, but you recognize me.

So you really are Dokgo Jin.

Ma'am, can you just pretend not to have seen me?

Let me take a photo. Here.

You even have a camera.

When did the whole nation become paparazzi?

All right, get down a bit.

If you take this photo,

you're just going to keep it to yourself as the background image, right?

I'm going to brag to my friends,

and send it to my grandchildren in Seoul.

All right.

One, two, three.

WHO IS GU AE-JEONG'S CELEBRITY BOYFRIEND?

What is all this?

JENNY

Where are you?

Things are crazy right now.

You're with Dokgo Jin, right?

If you get caught together,

you'll be in a huge mess.

There's no talk about him, right?

Nobody can even imagine it.

The guys who were suspected of being

your boyfriend issued a press release saying that they aren't

and their fans are totally outraged.

-You have to hurry. -Okay.

You knew this was going on, didn't you?

It would have just ruined our picnic.

We have to go back to Seoul.

And what you said before, you know it makes no sense, right?

That can never happen.

Let's end our picnic and go back.

If I want to protect Ae-jeong,

I have to tell her about this first.

Dokgo Jin really said he wanted to tell people you're dating?

That's what he said.

You can't just say that you're dating.

You have to announce a marriage at the same time.

That's ridiculous.

If you only say you're dating,

people will just count the days until you break up.

They'll accept it a little if you get married right away.

If he's really prepared to do that,

then let him try.

How can we do that at a time like this?

Things will quiet down soon.

I've gone through stuff like this before.

But Ae-jeong, things really seem bad this time.

You gained quite a lot of attention recently,

so I feel more nervous about this.

Gu Ae-jeong betrayed the others when she was a member

of National Treasure Girls

and released a solo album by herself.

In Couple Making,

she stayed on the show alone after causing trouble to the other guests.

And she did that by lying.

Right, she was like that when she was a member of that group.

That's what I mean.

Back then,

she stuck to a powerful entertainment agency.

I bet she'll do the same this time.

Why else would she suddenly be gaining attention?

She entered Bon Entertainment, a pretty large agency,

and got invited to many shows and even got a record deal.

I think

this is because she got a hold of a man with power.

Since Ae-jeong is getting all this attention,

why don't you look into the reason behind the disbanding as well?

I think it'll be interesting.

GU AE-JEONG SUSPECTED OF HAVING A SPONSOR

WHAT IS THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DISBANDING OF NATIONAL TREASURE GIRLS?

Instead of saying your boyfriend is a celebrity,

people are now saying you have a sponsor.

That's totally ridiculous.

I scheduled an interview with an entertainment show

we're on good terms with.

I want you to show people the real you,

so there won't be any more speculations.

What do you mean?

You need to show them you're not getting help from a sponsor.

You just have to reveal how you're living a difficult life in a rented home.

Show our house?

Yes, and show them what your financial situation is like

after your father's business failed.

And tell them how you've been making a living doing performances

with your brother as a manager.

Let people know that you're someone living under the burden

of earning money for your whole family.

Then people will think badly of my father and brother.

They're my family, not a burden to me.

Okay, that sounds nice. Say that to them.

And about your nephew that people think is your kid,

tell people that you're raising him

like your own son, instead of his mother who divorced your brother.

-Tell them about Hyeong-gyu, too? -Yes.

I also heard from your friend Jenny about why you fought

with Se-ri before your team's disbanding.

Tell people that Se-ri was the one

who caused the fight.

That's all in the past, though.

There's something Mi-na is hiding, isn't there?

What is it?

Reveal everything.

If you show everyone that you took all the burden

and that you lived a difficult life until now,

the bad image people have of you will be changed.

Are you telling me to sell out all my family, colleagues, and my friends?

You need to do that if you want to survive.

If you don't want to,

it's over for you now.

And one other thing.

I'm asking you to do me a favor.

If you're going to end things here,

please don't drag Jin with you.

It's not a request, it's a plea.

Jin is my life.

I don't want him

to fall,

or to end.

The situation is pretty good.

The preparations are going well.

There isn't much time left.

From what I've been hearing,

your "Heartbeat" lady seems to be in a lot of trouble.

This isn't really the time to be reading entertainment news.

I'm just checking on important information

related to my patient's heart.

So you can't reveal yourself because you don't know what the results

of the surgery will be?

I'm trying to find a way

to protect her, regardless of the results.

Seeing how things are going,

if the surgery succeeds, you'll live to be cursed at.

If word gets out that you're her boyfriend, everyone will criticize you.

Being alive and living in the dumps would be better than being dead.

Nowadays,

I really want to stay alive and roll around

in the dumps with her.

Oh, my goodness.

Gu Ae-jeong really must be horrid.

Apparently, she left National Treasure Girls

with someone backing her up just to succeed by herself.

And then she totally failed after leaving the group,

and now she's back on TV since she got hold of another man.

My son said that people are asking netizens to find out

who Ae-jeong's boyfriend is.

Netizens can do that?

Yes. She lives in our neighborhood, you know.

She seemed like a decent lady,

but I guess she's totally different from her appearance.

Hey, why are you crying?

Boy, why are you crying?

Hey, what's wrong?

SUPERHEROES

Are you okay?

You should stop shooting the shows you were doing for now.

They said you should take time off to reflect on your actions.

Then she can't release her album, either?

I liked that song.

Dad, Ae-hwan...

What did I do so wrong that I have to reflect on my actions?

What did I do so wrong

for everyone to hate me?

Did I do something that terrible?

I just worked hard to do anything I could,

smiled even when I was upset,

and laughed harder when anything was funny. That's all I did.

Was it such a sin to love someone in my situation?

What did I do that was so wrong?

What did I do...

Isn't it wrong for a doctor to look into a patient's records

to come to their house?

You said that Ae-jeong was your savior,

but you pretend not to notice that she's in trouble

and continue to your life. I don't think that's decent, either.

There is nothing I can say.

All I can do is ask Ae-jeong

to keep quiet as she has done for me before.

So you're saying you want her to take all the blame

and get hurt again,

just like you did ten years ago?

How can you all be so selfish?

Why are you making her stand before you and get hurt?

Is there really nowhere else to hide?

If I act pitiful, would people forgive me and pity me?

She says it's the only way.

Should I do an interview about you and Se-ri?

I don't know what's the right thing to do.

Hey, look over there.

They must be reporters.

What do we do? Hey, get out right now.

Come on, go!

Hello, I'm Hwang Nan-gyung of Entertainment Weekly.

-You're Jenny, right? -What did you come here for?

It's about your disbanding...

Hurry.

You're Gu Ae-jeong, right? Ms. Gu!

Ms. Gu, wait!

Ms. Gu!

Hello, Ms. Gu.

I'm Hwang Nan-gyung of Entertainment Weekly.

Sorry, but could you tell me anything about

-your team's disbanding? -I don't know.

Can you tell us what happened when National Treasure Girls

-disbanded? -What are you doing?

Are you okay?

Yun Pil-joo...

Ms. Gu has nothing further to add.

Let's go.

You can't just leave it like that.

It's fine, it'll get better with time.

This is frustrating.

Why do you always do nothing and think it'll get better?

That's why you keep living with a scar.

What else can I do?

If I dig deeper because I'm hurt right now,

it'll get worse, and I might never be able to use my legs.

Get out of there.

Leave the strange world that only gives you scars.

Dokgo Jin and the entertainment industry

might have been a world that excited you,

but it always hurt you.

And all you can do is prepare for it hurting you.

If you need to, you can use me to get out.

I'll help you run far away.

If I run away now, I can't protect them.

There are things that I protected,

even though I got hurt.

If I run away, I can't protect anything.

RECHARGE

I'll protect you.

THINKING OF OUR NEXT PICNIC...

BON ENTERTAINMENT

I can't talk about the people around me.

You might not be able to continue your career if you don't.

I can't abandon the people

around the real me just to keep the celebrity Gu Ae-jeong.

I think it'd be better to just end things now.

If this is a normal workplace,

you can just resign and look for a different job.

But you can't do that.

What do you think you can do if you leave?

You can't do anything.

But still, I'm not going to talk about my friends or my family.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DISBANDING OF NATIONAL TREASURE GIRLS

I can't reveal the truth when I don't know anything.

Poor Ae-jeong...

Is there really something Ae-jeong is hiding?

Do you know anything, Se-ri?

Anyway, since the arrows are pointed elsewhere, our show is going to be fine.

Ae-jeong always gets shot by the arrows.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DISBANDING OF NATIONAL TREASURE GIRLS

I'm sorry, Ae-jeong.

I'm sorry.

There is nothing I can reveal.

I'll take some time to reflect on my actions.

I'm sorry.

There is nothing I can reveal.

I'll take some time to reflect on my actions.

I'm sorry.

There is nothing I can reveal.

I'll take some time to reflect on my actions.

I'm sorry.

There is nothing I can reveal.

What is it?

Did Ae-jeong decide to latch onto you?

I came to latch onto Ae-jeong.

Jin, this isn't the end.

You can't think about crumbling down now.

I'm latching onto Ae-jeong

for my own survival, too.

What are you doing here?

Ae-jeong.

There's no need for other stories. Just talk about me.

-What? -Just tell them

about the two of us.

Tell everyone.

If you allow me to be your boyfriend,

I'm going to say it's true.

It's fine.

I'm grateful for you saying that, so stop this joke.

I'm not joking.

What I said weren't jokes.

I wasn't joking when I asked to reveal

that we're dating.

I also wasn't joking when I said I'd beg you

to marry me right away.

Thank you for saying that.

And also,

this is the most serious matter.

When I said

I could die and disappear,

it wasn't a joke, either.

Ae-jeong, I'm seriously broken.

I might not get repaired properly.

PRESS CONFERENCE ON THE RUMORS SURROUNDING GU AE-JEONG

So you're saying

you could die,

so it's okay to reveal it?

There's a saying about how being alive and living in the dumps is better

than being dead, and I totally get it now.

But

if I really do leave this world,

I can't leave you to suffer in the dumps alone.

Tell me you're joking.

There's no need to sell out anything. Sell me out.

I'll give you Dokgo Jin,

who's expensive enough to take the blame for everything.

So sell me.

-Tell me this is a joke. -To do that,

let me be yours.

Tell me you're joking!

NATIONAL TREASURE GIRLS

I raised you all,

but she left to succeed on her own.

Yes, that’s correct. Ae-jeong intervened.

Jenny, did you give wine to Jae-seok too?

First, you were hypnotized and broken.

Now you think that it’s destiny.

I've become pretty incredible, right?

We’ve just received breaking news.

Actor Dokgo Jin has collapsed from a heart attack.

Isn’t your "Heartbeat" lady coming?

She'll be singing it live from wherever she may be.
