Original subtitles

YOU ARE MY SPRING

-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm fine.

Why were you standing there?

I wanted to open the door for you.

Why all of a sudden?

Because I want to treat you well.

-Can you let go? -Why?

I mean, we should hold hands like this if we want to walk side by side.

-Should I carry that for you? -It's not heavy.

Let me know if it is.

You must've always wanted to treat me like this.

It must've been so hard for you.

You should go.

I should.

You have work tomorrow.

Right.

And you have work tomorrow as well.

Let me walk you to your car.

After all, you gave me a ride. It's only fair.

Would you like that?

Sure.

You should go now.

I'll leave after seeing you go home.

But I'm seeing you off.

Then should I walk you to the rooftop?

Would you like that?

This is never going to end.

I know.

-Go in. -Okay.

Yes?

Why are you still there?

Why did you come out?

I wanted to see you leave. Go on.

Good night.

I just came home…

and turned on the lights.

And now, I'm passing by the fridge.

What time do you normally sleep?

Around midnight?

You sleep late.

What about you?

Around midnight from now on.

I'd like to visit Gangneung.

How about this weekend?

Are you free?

Of course. I need to see my mom too.

What should we do tomorrow?

How about we watch a movie on the rooftop?

But I don't want to see other people's faces.

I only want to see you.

You're so silly.

EPISODE 14

Come in.

Young-do.

PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO

Hey, you're here.

You're upset, aren't you?

Ha-neul told me to avoid you.

Come on in.

What? It's okay. I'm here to see him.

I should leave.

No. Just come in. Come on in.

Sit down.

Can I do that?

Sure.

Why haven't you been coming?

I've been a bit busy lately.

Is that why you're here?

Is it because I bit you?

In any case, if it's because of me,

I'd like to give you a refund.

It's okay. I'm sure it's past the refund period. It's fine.

Did your producer friend say anything?

About something I had asked him?

Hold on. I'm going out right now.

You have feelings for her, don't you?

Sorry?

Why…

How did you know?

You must've never had a crush before.

It just shows.

I'm sorry for coming here unannounced.

Are you leaving already?

What is it?

What were you thinking?

I'm not sure.

Seriously, you're not helping at all.

You must've never had a crush before.

It just shows.

Is it peach-flavored?

-This won't do. -I said, no.

Why not?

There are people here.

-No. -Why not?

Hey. I saw Young-do.

I see.

Did you and Ms. Han talk about anything?

What? Who said that?

That doesn't matter. What did you talk about?

I've seen women cry over Young-do,

but never over you. I was so surprised.

Why does she like you?

Beats me.

Something urgent came up, so I need to go first.

-Sure. Goodbye. -Goodbye.

It's nothing bad. It's just that I have a girlfriend now.

She's always been like your girlfriend.

One thing that's changed is that you're officially going out now.

I guess there's no backing out now.

You can do it, Young-do!

Gosh, this is…

This is a bit…

Does this look better?

Perhaps, the first one.

It's either this or this.

Advice for Relationship Virgins. Number one.

Change up your style.

Do you always have the same hairstyle and wear the same clothes?

I do.

Switch up your look,

and it'll spice things up.

Switch up my look?

A TRUE MAN BOASTS A POMADE HAIRSTYLE

You're wearing little makeup but moistening your lips.

What's that for?

Go away.

I thought I'd turn out like Ms. Carlson.

But now, I think I'll turn out like Ms. Rowson.

Hello?

Aren't you going to ask?

-I'll arrive in five minutes. -Right. Who are they?

Ms. Carlson was my next-door neighbor.

She shot a nail gun in her husband's head during a fight

and was arrested.

Ms. Rowson lived a lonely life until she died.

No one knew she was dead,

and the police only found out two weeks…

Okay. I'm going out right now.

Okay. I'm going to die alone.

Yup.

I just want to see his face. You said he's handsome.

It's been ages since I saw a handsome guy.

I'm going blind here. I can't see well.

Then watch a drama or a movie.

Just this once. Don't you want to brag about him?

Will you leave after seeing him?

I will.

No weird questions.

No getting excited or swearing.

"I've heard about you. You're Jack, right?"

No teasing by calling him by another name.

"There's a stain. Thanks for the bow."

No jokes like that.

I can't do anything?

Can I ask him for money?

I'm kidding. I'm just so excited.

He must be so handsome.

When is he arriving?

One minute.

Hello?

-Oh, you can't come? -I'm here.

Oh, well. Goodbye.

Who's he waving at?

He can't make it. He's too busy. Maybe next time.

Really?

Yes, really. Let's take a rain check.

Fine. Keep your promise.

You'll see him when he looks normal.

You put on lipstick. You look beautiful.

What's on your hair?

-Does it look weird? -Follow me.

Where are we going?

Be quiet and follow me.

From a distance, please.

Yes. You're wearing a pretty watch

and a nice shirt. And now, your hair looks good too.

Right.

Are you sulking?

No.

You have a handsome forehead. I didn't know that.

-Let's go eat. -Okay.

You must've been nervous about our first date.

I guess it was just me.

I wasn't nervous at all. It was just like any other day.

I see.

Darn it!

I have no clothes to wear on the first date.

I should've emptied out my entire closet.

What should I do?

Gosh.

Did I look that bad?

No, not really.

Then why did you push me into the restroom?

I think I should answer that with what you said to me before.

How far are we walking?

Let's go back and change.

-Are you not having fun? -No.

Why not?

Because I'm completely sober,

and these people…

"These people can see me."

I see.

I must've looked more embarrassing today than I did in that wig.

Back then, we voluntarily did something wacky.

Then next time, I'll try something else.

Don't.

-I have an idea. -I'll leave you on the street.

Fine, I won't. Don't leave me.

By the way, that was so unexpected.

Why did you do that?

I read it in a magazine.

What kind of magazine was it?

I read it at Ha-neul's clinic. It said it'd help spice things up.

Spice things up even more, and it could be dangerous.

Things are already hot as is.

Will my heart that goes boom, clap find its other half?

Boom, Clap will begin now.

DATING REALITY SHOW BOOM, CLAP

CLAP SMILE

BOOM, CLAP

BIG REACTIONS

Didn't you say he was the quiet type?

That's enough!

Which one of them will get the chance to make eye contact?

It's the final match.

Get ready, set, go.

Gosh, you're…

remarkably strong, Ms. Han.

Why does she look so down?

She's been like that from the start.

I told her earlier, but she won't budge.

And what's wrong with him?

Hey! Smile!

MOMENT OF TRUTH

So far, there have been no couples matched.

Right, but we still have one final chance.

Ms. Han, please make your move.

Start.

Please…

Please accept it.

Please…

Guys, open your eyes.

Please accept it. Please…

I'm sorry.

What a shame.

In the end, there are no couples.

BOOM, CLAP LOVE INTERESTS

How is this possible?

Can we even air this?

What do you think?

-Any new ideas? -What do you think?

-Can you edit it somehow? -We're done for.

Hello.

-Good work. -Good work.

-Good work. -Good work.

Good work.

Hey, thank you for today. I hope we can work together again.

Sure. Give me a call.

I read the article.

Not only do we look alike, we also have a lot in common.

Ms. Ahn and I are quite close.

We even went camping not long ago.

You're the one who lost your shoe.

Yes! How did you know?

I'm sorry, but can you do me a favor?

We agreed not to see each other.

You even kicked Da-jeong out.

What are you doing?

I don't have a phone or a car.

And I can't visit your house either.

Yes, we shouldn't meet.

I was worried you'd be scared.

Don't worry too much about the photo.

Photo? Someone took a photo of us?

Oh, I thought you already knew.

Will they post it?

No. It all got solved.

We may be

drinking seawater right now.

We know it's wrong,

but once we hear each other's voice, we forget everything.

Look at us now meeting secretly again.

Do you know what happens when you drink seawater?

We can be careful.

Why does my gut tell me that you won't be okay?

Why aren't you scared?

Shouldn't you be more terrified than me?

I'm more terrified that you might want to break up.

Why don't you get it?

If people get wind of us…

How long do you think…

your love for me will last?

Even after your love is gone,

people will always associate you with my name.

Do you know that?

We talked about this.

Let's take a break for a week.

What do you mean?

If it's bearable…

The hot summer is already here.

It's so scorching hot

that I have no appetite.

Yet you ordered a large size.

I'm only eating to survive.

You must be desperate.

The citizens' discomfort index is skyrocketing.

Due to high temperature and humidity,

they become extremely annoyed by even the slightest touch…

Hey.

Da-jeong?

-However, -Isn't that her?

many couples still hold hands

-That's her, right? -and remain affectionate.

I'm Lee Yong-seop from TVC News.

You're right.

She has a boyfriend?

I guess so.

Who is he?

What do you think?

He's someone she likes.

Invite him to Gangneung. I have a few questions.

A few questions, my foot.

I know you're going to ask him

all sorts of questions and leave him in tatters.

How did you know? You see right through me.

Thank you for your hard work.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Let's get drunk.

Here.

We already finished a bottle.

Excuse me. One more bottle, please.

You must've been busier because of me.

I'm cutting down on my outside work.

That's a great idea.

You've been too busy. You even lost a lot of weight.

He's right.

There was a time when you were chubby and cute.

How long have you two been working together?

I'll tell you next time.

It's been eight years already.

Oh, dear.

I had quit work at the hospital,

refused to meet anyone, and stayed home all day long.

In other words, it was when I was a helpless woman

who was lost in a dark tunnel.

8 YEARS AGO

It must've been tough coming here.

You had booked an appointment with Dr. Seok,

but something urgent came up.

-So I'm here instead-- -A resident?

Yes, I am.

Ma'am.

Could you tell me why you're here?

I'm too prejudiced to entrust my life…

to such a young doctor.

Should I…

just go with you, honey?

I'd…

like to do that.

Is this Ms. Oh Mi-kyeong?

This is Ju Young-do,

the psychiatry resident you met today at Majin Hospital.

I felt terrible for not being able to help you earlier.

I called you in case you wanted a prescription.

Since we have your chart,

I can prescribe you medication without you having to come--

Hello?

Yes, hello?

Hello?

Yes, Ms. Oh. I'm listening.

Hello?

Hello.

This is Ju Young-do. I'm listening.

My husband called me

right before he died.

But I was too busy

tending to my patients

to pick up.

My phone has been ringing all day.

Even when I disconnect it.

It must be painful.

You must have trouble sleeping.

Do you still hear your phone ringing right now?

No.

Not right now.

Had you picked up his call,

what do you think he would've said to you?

"Take care of yourself.

Be happy." He would've said that.

"Don't be too sad…

that I'm gone."

When I heard that he was going to open his own clinic,

I reached out to him first.

So that's how you two met.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you're cutting down on work.

If you kept working like a dog like you have,

I was going to tell you what you said to me back then.

"You don't need to live a life of grief because of someone who has died."

Don't feel too guilty about what has happened.

Live every day as if it's your last and be happy.

Come see me whenever you need help.

Eat it.

I already ate so much.

Option one. Just eat.

Option two. Eat after getting nagged.

Oh, dear.

Then will you no longer help the police or appear on the radio?

The police need a little more of my help,

and I'll quit the radio show at the end of next month.

Da-jeong.

Did you eat a lot?

I sure did. And you?

-Likewise. -Let's go.

What do we need to buy?

Just beer and fruit will do.

We can order in the rest.

I see.

What do your friends like?

They're fine as long as it's edible.

Eun-ha likes watermelon, and Cheol-do likes jelly.

I see.

By the way,

about how we agreed not to tell anyone about us until tomorrow…

I actually told Eun-ha about it.

I see. Just her?

To tell the truth, I got really mad at Seung-won that day.

And now that we're dating, I thought he deserved to know.

I agree.

Then I felt bad for keeping Ha-neul in the dark, so…

-Right. They're like a set. -Right.

And I also told Ms. Oh.

I see.

And earlier today, I also told a part-timer at a convenience store.

A part-timer?

-You're done. -Okay.

I'm going to drink this with my girlfriend.

Sorry?

-And I also told a customer -This is for me and my girlfriend.

-who was waiting behind me. -You can go now.

Go on.

For my girlfriend.

Ga-yeong knows as well.

It wasn't by coincidence. I called her.

What's gotten into you? You never call me first.

Did something happen?

Yes, but it's good news.

Da-jeong and I are dating.

Seriously? Are you certain?

Yes. I'm certain.

You better treat my friend well.

Had I been her and heard those words from you,

I would've skewered you, put you out in the sun for four days,

poured some sauce on you when you were dry enough,

tossed you in front of a tiger, and saved you in the nick of time.

Got that?

Oh, and there's this boy who brings his puppy to Ha-neul's clinic.

Hi. Do you remember me?

I do. You're that relationship virgin.

You little…

I have a girlfriend.

Look.

Ta-da.

Isn't she pretty?

She's wonderful, amazing, and smart.

Yes. She's pretty.

Right? And she's my girlfriend.

So don't call me a relationship…

Anyway, that's not me. Don't call me that anymore.

Okay.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Oh, dear.

You don't have one?

Gosh. Oh, dear.

She's my girlfriend.

To a kid?

Yes.

An employee at a car wash also knows.

I'm getting it cleaned before seeing my girlfriend.

Sorry?

And the gas station worker too.

-How much? -To the brim, please.

-To the brim? -Yes.

-Do you have a membership? -No, I don't.

But I have a girlfriend.

-Sorry? -A girlfriend.

Is there anyone who doesn't know in Korea?

Cheol-do and A-ri probably don't know.

They know. I told them.

Have you thought about the blind date?

Well, I can't do that.

Why not? Do you detest manly-looking guys?

Actually, I have a boyfriend now.

Hey, Da-jeong.

I know Young-do was harsh, but isn't this too soon?

Bye.

Okay.

She meant him.

What? Is it true?

Are you dating Young-do?

So you told everyone as well.

I only told people I know.

You might as well report it to the news.

By the way, can you really cook?

Of course. Say what you want to eat.

-Can I ask for anything? -Of course.

There are only two dishes in my world. Kimchi fried rice and ramyeon.

Then I pick Kimchi fried rice.

Okay.

All right.

One of these.

Have you made it before?

I was even complimented.

Didn't you say your friends weren't picky and liked anything edible?

Not them. Why would I cook for them?

-Then for whom? -My ex…

Your what?

So what? It'd be stranger if you had been single all this time.

So you made it for your ex-girlfriend? She must've liked it.

Yes. She did.

What? Why…

We need that.

Wait.

We found a camera at the crime scene

while investigating Noh Hyeon-ju's case.

We confirmed that Hwang Jae-sik was the killer.

While searching his house,

we found a journal presumably written by him.

EVIDENCE 1, 2, 3

You must be familiar with On Ji-cheol who committed four murders

and kept a handwritten journal in 2001.

This case is very similar.

KIM MYEONG-JA'S MURDER CASE

A substantial amount

of undisclosed, crucial information was written in the journal.

His record of the cause of death and murder weapon match as well.

We believed Choi Jeong-min singlehandedly murdered

Kim Myeong-ja, Lee Jeong-beom, and Cho Gwang-hun.

However, we now believe Hwang was at least

an accomplice or a help to the crimes.

We believe Choi's suicide note

was first written by Hwang.

The drug found at his house

matched the traces in Ian Chase's body.

And judging by the information in the journal,

there seems to be bad blood between Hwang and one of the brothers

or perhaps both of the brothers.

Thank you for coming.

You must be busy.

I'll cut to the chase.

Where is

Hwang Jae-sik?

Why would you ask me that?

You know where he is, don't you?

No, I don't.

Let me change my question.

What's your relationship?

I'm his victim.

He stalked you as soon as you got here

then framed you for murder, yet you don't know why.

Does a victim have to find out the reason?

If you were really his victim, you would've asked for protection,

not kept your mouth shut.

I refuse to cooperate any longer.

And if you ever find out where he is,

do let me know.

Mr. Chase.

What are you trying to hide?

While searching the residence of Hwang,

the key suspect in the recent murder case,

the police have found new evidence regarding the three murders

Choi confessed to before committing suicide.

The police have remained tight-lipped regarding the new evidence.

However, they believe this crucial lead will uncover an unknown truth

and will conduct an extensive dragnet

in order to locate Hwang who's in hiding.

Da-jeong, are you okay?

I am.

I hope you're not clenching your clothes again.

I'm not. I'm clenching my phone.

I need to stop by the police station.

Once I'm done, I'll head over.

I'll get there by the time you clock out.

Okay.

I'll carry my phone with me at all times.

So if you feel scared or nervous…

I'll call you whenever I want.

Please do that.

I even pulled out the knife from my throat.

I know.

But I still might call you

just to hear your voice.

Okay. Call me anytime.

Choice of adjectives, conjunctions,

and random changes in clauses.

They're written by the same person.

Do you think the plot of this book is based on real-life murder cases?

No. They're from his imagination.

To fit the ending, he keeps changing character development.

But the manuscript was written to keep a record,

so you can read his mind.

It's written in both first and third person.

What if the author actually committed

murders in real life and recorded them?

There must've been a trigger.

One phrase is repeated at least twice per case.

"The 18-year-old."

THE 18-YEAR-OLD BOY

PURE MURDER

Did you really write that?

Prove it.

And that 18-year-old kid was Choi Jeong-min, right?

He provoked Hwang to kill Kim Myeong-ja.

And while investigating that case,

Jeong-beom was killed.

You think so too?

Not once in this manuscript did Hwang mention

that Choi had a twin.

In that case…

Ian could've been the trigger.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Did you watch the news?

We're tracking Hwang Jae-sik's whereabouts,

so you may often see detectives like me around here for the time being.

Mr. Ko wanted you to know beforehand so you wouldn't be scared.

Thank you.

But why would he show up at our hotel?

Because Mr. Chase is staying here until he moves back to his studio.

Is Dr. Chase

involved in this case?

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to answer that.

Then…

is there a possibility…

that Choi Jeong-min wasn't a bad person?

I'm not talking about how he lied about his name,

but about him committing murder.

Well, I'm sure it all depends on the nature of the crime…

I should get going.

Choi Jeong-min is dead.

Why do you still care how good or bad of a person

he was?

Because if he was evil,

I shouldn't cry for him.

But if he wasn't…

What if he was abandoned,

neglected, abused,

and died trying to fight back?

Would you still cry for him?

If you mean something evil…

by "fight back," then no.

You lied…

back then, didn't you?

When I asked you about the church,

you said you had no recollection.

Yes. I remember both the church and Jeong-min.

Does that make a difference?

I just have many questions.

I could pretend like nothing happened.

But…

I realized that it doesn't solve anything.

What do you want to ask?

I FINALLY FOUND YOU

I want to know what he meant

by "I finally found you."

"Why was he looking for me?

What did he remember about me?

Did I do something wrong to him?"

Is that all?

I'd also like to ask…

if he had anyone he could lean on.

Had there been someone. Just one person…

Didn't you want to be your neighbor's daughter as a kid?

Sure, but I have my mom who risked her life to protect me.

What if he had no one?

Then I would've reached out to him…

and said that it wasn't

too late to change his ways.

At that church,

there was a boy who patted you on the head.

It must've been a long day.

Why did you touch my head?

And there was also a boy who got mad at you.

It wasn't me who patted you on the head.

Dummy.

You're still a fool.

-Hello. -Hi!

Hey!

Since the two shared one name,

if we call one the younger brother and the other the older brother…

Have you come for me?

I don't know. Mom brought me here.

Where is she?

So you want us to take in your other son as well, correct?

Getting married?

Trying to start afresh?

Is it possible or not?

It won't be easy since he's already registered.

Let's send one to the US today and talk again.

I'm not going to the US. I'm going to run away.

How?

I'll hide and run away when it gets dark.

What about me?

You should hide too.

Do you know her?

Yes. I saw her earlier.

Her name is Kang Da-jeong.

She mistook me for you.

What a dummy.

I think she's funny and smart.

My brother who hid under the tree

was able to stay in Korea.

And he looked for you for a long time.

And…

And the other one…

the older brother,

was sent to the US.

When should we tell my sister?

I think we can wait.

I'm fine since I rarely see her, but won't you feel uncomfortable?

Probably.

I already do.

Then let's just tell her. What's stopping us?

Should we keep it a secret forever?

-Why? -What if…

-Never mind. -What if…

we break up?

But shouldn't you

have thought that through

before that night?

I've never kept any secrets from her.

I often see my customers get drunk and spill their secrets.

Sometimes, it doesn't feel like a slip of the tongue.

It feels like they get drunk to let them out.

-One time, this man-- -Gosh.

What?

What is it?

What? I'm sorry.

-Are you okay? -Yes, I am.

I'm sorry.

What was that?

I just saw a couple holding hands in this sweltering weather.

I thought they were Da-jeong and Young-do.

They do that?

They're no joke.

They're worse than our lovey-dovey customers.

I don't get them.

PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO

Knock, knock.

-Who is it? -It's me.

How was your day?

-Would you like a drink? -Sure.

Wait here.

You have cool undertones.

It suits you.

Thank you.

I've been curious.

What do psychiatrists do when they struggle?

They can't consult themselves.

We visit other doctors.

Have you ever done that?

-Yes. -How was it?

Well, it did help.

It helped me realize what kind of doctor I shouldn't become.

Why?

They gave me a prescription and kicked me out

before I could even talk.

Oh, dear.

I understand that diagnosing your patient is important,

but I could feel clearly that the doctor didn't care about me at all.

I guess your patients are so lucky

to have met a doctor who's a great listener.

I see.

Can I use that?

Sure.

What is the first thing you ask your patients?

We call it MSE.

It's like a CT scan.

I observe and jot things down.

First, I observe their appearance.

I see.

Like this?

MY TYPE

No.

Why not? It's accurate.

It needs to be objective.

Cleanliness, clothing, posture, and things like that.

I have a lot more.

All right.

Have them all.

I'll take them all home.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Never mind. It's so random.

You can ask me anything.

You told me once

that I could tell you anything in your office

and that you'd keep my secrets.

And that I could only say

a few words if it was too hard to talk about it.

Right.

That day,

when you left me on the rooftop…

Oh, dear.

What upset me the most…

was that you had done so much for me,

but I hadn't been able to do anything for you.

Perhaps…

you wanted to tell me your story as well.

After my brother died,

no one comforted me.

Honey!

I can't let Young-jae die.

Please, honey!

Back then, I thought I was to blame.

So I understood.

That's ridiculous.

The only comfort I received was the candy from my first love.

Had I been there,

I would've been enraged.

"What on earth are you doing?

How can you call yourself a mom?

He's just a kid.

You know it's not his fault."

That's what I would've said.

But if you were there now,

I think you would be holding her.

Because…

she may have been younger back then than you are now.

She must've been terrified.

You would probably be telling her…

everything you wanted to believe.

Once you've lost someone dear to you,

"Now that they're free from pain,

they must be flying anywhere they want.

They must be enjoying all the food they craved down here

"When did you start liking him?"

"Why did you fall so hard for him?"

I wonder if I can answer those questions like this.

"Maybe

it's been a lot longer than I realize.

Maybe it all started when that trembling wildflower

met a fence

I love you.

I love you.

YOU ARE MY SPRING

I love you.

I love you.
