[Scripting Your Destiny: Episode 1]

Every human is born with a book of their life.

Inside that book...

every moment of your life is recorded.

We call this destiny.

[Sung Woo: God of Destiny, Yongsan Chilsung Hall]

Kim Jin Sun will win third place in the 932nd lottery.

No matter what is written in the book, it comes true.

You may not know...

but your destiny is being written this very moment.

[Kim Jin Sun]

By the hands of god.

[Hyun Joon: God of Destiny, Gangnam Chilsung Hall]

Kang Young Min will prepare a surprise event

for his girlfriend this weekend afternoon...

inside the #1 train.

Does your romance always start fresh

but end in a pile of tears every time?

Unfortunately, that might be since your god of destiny has never known love.

One more thing.

Grandma Samshin is the one who creates the books.

Right.

The Samshin who blesses you with children.

Well, let's talk about this as we go.

Anyway...

this is how we write human beings' destinies every day.

The two you just met.

And this one, in front of me. [Myung: God of Destiny, Mapo Chilsung Hall]

D♪♪♪ it, this blows. [Ho Yoon: God of Destiny, Mapo Chilsung Hall]

- Who are you so obsessed with? - Jung Ba Reum.

The most unique one among my destinies.

I'm going to make a masterpiece out of it.

My goodness! My lord! You're here! ("Lord" is slang for "Landlord.")

Hello.

Did she just call you "Lord?"

You don't know? The one who's more powerful than god.

He is our landlord.

Oh, do you go to church?

Then sorry. I'll find another nickname.

Is she really joking?

Rentals are cheaper in this building than in the next one.

But sales are good here, too.

She says the landlord usually kicks them out if that's the case.

They want to set up shop themselves.

Are you sure she doesn't know who you are?

She tried to set me up with her daughter.

If she knew who I was, she wouldn't joke about that.

Let's go. Yongsan Chilsung Hall requested backup.

That's right.

You might have figured it out by now.

I am a God of Destiny, and I write your destiny.

A god of destiny here at Yongsan has been eliminated.

We have unattended books here because of that.

Please split these books and take care of them for now.

Again?

Why can't you guys just take care of them?

Elimination? How?

I don't know the details.

Oh, a few cases will be transferred to Mapo, so keep that in mind.

I'll get going now.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

I'm telling you in case you misunderstand.

Just because we are gods of destiny,

it doesn't mean we spin gigantic wheels of fate all day.

- Let's split in half. - Me?

I won, though. Are you insane?

Half of a half! Half of a half of a half!

You're going to be sorry!

[Go Che Kyung]

I'm checking out.

That will be 19,900 won. Do you have a rewards card with us?

No.

I'm so sorry.

I started binging "Marriage Pact" too late.

You get it, right?

Is that drama really that good?

You haven't seen it? You must.

But I'm warning you. Once you start, you won't be able to stop.

When I first said I wanted to write TV dramas, my mom said...

Little girl, you are way too young to write.

Dear daughter...

These days, the news is funnier than comedies and more dramatic than dramas.

Who watches TV anymore? Waste of time and electricity.

Hello, Director!

I love, love the drama. Go RBS!

Don't make me blush. Every piece we do is good.

- Four Americanos. - You got it.

There are so many coffee shops in Sangam. Do we have to come here?

In the middle of nowhere.

You don't want a coffee?

- Just three Americanos. - I'll take a green tea.

She sold coffee to broadcast station employees all her life to pay for my college.

Never mind trade ethics, she never even watched any TV.

But these days, she is obsessed with dramas.

It's me.

I'm Hwa Ok's husband.

No.

This guy is a piece of trash who cruelly abandoned Hwa Ok.

He got plastic surgery to look like me for the inheritance. He is a monster.

No, you got plastic surgery to look like me.

Father-in-law. Mother-in-law.

Look at me.

You must have heard from Hwa Ok.

I am the World Muscle Competition Champion.

He may have gotten plastic surgery on his whole body,

but he could not have faked my abs, number one in the world.

You... you are Mr. Joo.

Come here, my son-in-law.

My son-in-law. Let me hold you.

You bastard...

You grifter!

You scammed my daughter and tried to hurt my son-in-law.

Get out right now!

[Marriage Pact]

The drama that entranced my mom is "Marriage Pact."

These days, when ratings are dying, it's the rare daily show that broke 30%.

A woman died, leaving behind death insurance worth 10 billion won.

The beneficiary is her husband, Joo Gil Nam.

How could this have happened?

I'm here, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law.

But men who have had full body plastic surgery keep showing up, insisting they are Joo Gil Nam.

Hi, I'm Young Hoon.

I'm Hwa Ok's real husband.

Who is her real husband?

That's right. Korea's first mystery husband search soap drama.

"Marriage Pact."

This is my - Go Che Kyung's debut piece.

Oh, goodness, goodness, goodness!

- It's that good? - So, so good.

I don't know if it's actually that good or if it's because I wrote it.

Or if it's because I got a nice fee.

I didn't sleep or eat for six months except for insults.

I feel 64, instead of 24.

He's here, he's here, he's here.

- Looking at my mother's smiling face... - Oh, my, my, my!

That day, I just wanted to be happy.

Oh, right, it's recycling day.

- Let's go together. - Or so I thought.

Come on!

It's a one-person job. Do I really need to do it with you?

You need to move. Are you a mermaid or something?

You haven't used your legs in six months.

Do you even have any muscles left?

You look a little dry, too.

I have so much baby fat! Don't you see how peachy my cheeks are?

Even drinking soju fills me up with protein.

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello!

How's the business? Good?

Yes, very good. But it could always be better.

I'm still raising a baby over here.

You are always so funny.

But who is this?

Oh! Must be your youngest sister.

- You are beautiful, just like your sister. - Oh, stop.

- See you later. - Bye.

Can we trust him with our security?

My gosh!

Are you all right?

That crazy bastard. You can't drive like that on a narrow road!

Mom, did you see the license plate? We should report the a♪♪♪♪♪♪.

A♪♪♪♪♪♪? Crazy bastard?

I saw the license plate.

Number 4444, that's the landlord of the building.

He's driving recklessly since it's his own building?

Tell him, be even more reckless next time.

I'll move out of his way.

He's so young. Maybe he just looks young from afar?

You want to meet him? He's single.

Oh, my God, daebak, what do I do?

Right? You want to, right?

Do what? Seul Ah is coming. What do I do?

I haven't talked to her about the drama. She kept asking me to meet up.

I lied and said I'm attending the govt. exam academy.

Why?

What do you mean why?

The head writer ran off, and I replaced her.

We can't let the word get out. It has to be a secret.

I even signed a contract with the network.

You said so, too!

This is real life. I need to do it right.

You told me not to tell anyone.

But you should have told Seul Ah without telling me.

And you never even went to an academy in high school. What govt. exam academy?

How can you be so bad with details as a writer?

Whose side are you on?

[Jung Ba Reum]

Still makes me tear up. It's a great narrative.

Jung Ba Reum fell deep into the novels of Go'spresso on his sickbed.

It was his first love.

Samshin, I need to find a book.

Go'spresso, mentioned on this page. And who writes for it.

- Why are you looking? - She is Jung Ba Reum's first love.

I want to make it come true.

It's time for the two of them to meet.

What if it's a man?

I'm not prejudiced.

Is it a guy?

The name is Go Che Kyung.

She's 24 years old. She's pretty.

Go Che Kyung?

The first-floor cafe owner's daughter? Who writes her book?

Her book was at Yongsan Chilsung Hall but was just transferred here.

It's under the care of Myung.

Where is Myung right now?

Why do you need this book? I haven't even looked at it.

None of your business. I don't have time, just give it to me.

But I want to know.

I told you I'm making a masterpiece out of Jung Ba Reum, right?

Go Che Kyung is Jung Ba Reum's first love.

You can have less work. I get what I need.

Transfer it to me. I'll write for her.

I told you. That you were going to regret it.

Fine.

Take this and 10,000 more.

5,000.

- 9,900. - 5,900.

Deal!

[Go Che Kyung]

Should I turn off the intercom and pretend I'm not here? How do I do that?

I'll just destroy it.

Is this the right thing to do?

What should I do? What do I do?

The batteries!

Your mom is on my side.

You're not answering your phone and avoiding me. Why, Go Che Kyung, huh?

I'm not a weirdo.

This is my friend's house. She must not be home.

Unit 1315. Someone's in there.

- How do you know? - The meter just ran.

She never opens the door whenever there's a meter reading.

I see.

You must work for the utility company.

But her doorbell must be broken.

Let me try.

I turned off everything. Why is it turning on?

Che Kyung!

Long time no see.

I know you're scared that I might be upset.

But you know what's really scary?

- I know your new door password. - What?

Your mom gave it to me.

What is this?

I took out all the batteries. Why is it opening?

Ah?

You haven't seen your sister in six months and the first thing you say is "ah?"

Oh, no. It's so good to see you.

I missed you so much. I was surprised.

I missed you!

You think acting cute's going to get you out of this? Follow me.

I wasted time waiting for you to pick up your phone.

You have 15 minutes.

Wash your hair, take a shower, get dolled up. Let's go.

Do we need to go out?

Can we just stay home and have a beer and you know,

catch up, talking about stuff?

Why did you lie and say you signed up for the academy?

Che Kyung never signed up for our academy.

Are you sure she's preparing for the exam?

I looked into other academies.

I don't think she's signed up at Noryangjin, either.

That...

You don't go to an academy. You don't pick up your phone.

So did you get any studying done?

I know you didn't, so shut it.

For today, just shut up and come with me. Then I'll let this one go.

What a scary way to ask me out on a date.

Why would I go on a date with you?

- You're meeting a guy. - A guy?

Cheers!

Wow, that's good.

Che Kyung, it's been way too long.

- Come to our club meetups more often. - Me?

Did my doppelganger go around signing up for clubs?

Yeah, that's right.

You signed up for a dance club and manga club.

Oh, right.

Sunbae, you told me to just fill out the application form.

So you could get drinks from the dance club president,

like a multi-level marketing scheme.

Sunbae, it's so good to see you.

- Introduce us to your friends! - Sure. Sure.

This is my friend from high school.

Secretary Kim Si Hyuk, who was just appointed to

the Office for Government Policy Coordination.

This is Jung Ba Reum, whom I met during my study abroad.

He works for RBS Drama.

Hello.

Hello.

Che Kyung, is there anything you want to ask him?

You used to want to get into RBS.

- I did? - Yeah.

You said you would get RBS employee ID no matter what.

I did?

Oh, because I used to really like RBS' dramas.

But your company is a little bit of a crapshoot.

Some masterpieces, but some shows are just so soapy.

Don't make trash like that.

What's trash?

Really. Does RBS make super soapy dramas?

"Marriage Pact" or something?

Killing the wife for money, killing someone else, that show.

How can you have trash like that on network television?

The viewers are messed up, too,

but the people who make it should do some self-reflection.

If my future wife watches something like that,

I'll divorce her right away.

How would you get a divorce?

You need to be married to get a divorce.

That's right. Che Kyung, you're so smart.

You're not even married yet and already talking about divorce.

- Must keep you busy. - I don't think so.

You'll never tie the knot.

- Hey, are you drunk? - No, I'm not drunk.

I am very sober. You know why?

Because that drama is not about that.

It's not about killing the wife for money. Not at all.

Someone who can't even comprehend a basic plot is running our country with the taxes I pay.

Wow, I thought I cured my insomnia, but it's going to come back.

Hey, Go Che Kyung!

What is wrong with you?

I had something to tell you. That's why I told you we should stay home.

But I can't do it today.

I'll tell you later. Next time.

Bye.

It was good at the beginning because of Writer Hwang.

It feels so formulaic.

It's so obvious all she cares about is the viewer response.

Can they just switch out the writer now?

[Go Che Kyung/Jung Ba Reum]

It will be the talk of the town for a long time.

A perfect act of fate is about to begin.

On a perfect night like this...

we need Magenta Pink Rain.

Magenta Pink Rain!

Excuse me, sir. I'm getting off. [Wheels of Fate]

Every human is a work of God.

♫ If I could, just once, go back to that time ♫

♫ My broken heart, my sadness ♫

♫ Could become happy memories ♫

♫ Rewind the day ♫

Human beings are born into lives written for them by gods.

They learn happiness as well as sadness.

They commit good and evil as they live.

♫ I want to tell you ♫

Everyone feels as much pain as happiness.

Everyone gains wisdom, even as they suffer.

But love.

Love is the one thing that is truly unfair.

♫ Stay with me ♫

♫ I'm standing over here, steps away ♫

♫ You and me, the two of us ♫

Love.

Love is...

a gift from God for the courageous.

♫ We both wanted it ♫

[Scripting Your Destiny]

♫ If only I knew ♫

♫ The one who could comfort my tired heart ♫

♫ It can only be you ♫

♫ I would have held you closer, warmer, more gentle ♫

♫ I would've made sure to rush and embraced you first ♫

♫ But you went the long way around to come back here ♫

♫ To my small crinkled heart ♫
