Original subtitles

It was hard today, right?

I know the news article about me hit you hard.

No.

Well, I guess.

A little.

It seemed more than that when you got out of the car.

It was a little hard.

Your look said, "It was very hard."

Do you know how relieved I was when I saw that?

Thank you for coming to me.

I didn't know I'd come here twice today.

The first time, you came to return the dress and get mad at me,

and the second time, you came because you wanted to see me, right?

No?

Mr. Lee brought me.

You didn't want to come at all,

but you were forced to come because of Hwa-sin?

I wouldn't have had the courage to come if it weren't for him.

That's what I thought.

We should be good to Hwa-sin.

Yes.

But...

where did he go?

He must be in his car.

What time is it?

Where did he go instead of going to the hospital?

I still wouldn't mind taking him.

RAK PASTA AND VILLA

I didn't get to give this to you at the funeral.

-I got this for you from Paris. -What is it?

For guys. You know.

It's good for the bedroom at night.

Paris has a lot of impotent men like you apparently.

-Tae-ra. -Take it already.

How could you be impotent at your age?

It's so embarrassing.

Aren't you going to get married and have kids?

My goal this year is

to make you have kids before marrying Jeong-won off.

I'm busy. If you're not helping me with the dishes, just leave.

Hey.

With our family background, your looks, and education,

what do you lack that you need to rot

in this shabby town making stupid noodles?

You were doing all the kitchen work during the funeral.

It's because you live like a family in this villa

that you don't want to sleep with women.

Tae-ra!

You yell only at me

when you're so nice to everyone else.

Darn it.

The doctor said

I'm being punished for dating women too readily,

sleeping with them too readily

and breaking up with them too readily.

Leave me alone.

I have no desire to even touch women

or kiss them, so how can I make it to the bed?

Don't come back to the villa again.

-Hey. -Also, don't look down on the people here.

You said they can't even pay rent on time.

I said to leave!

Hold on.

The medicine your doctor prescribes doesn't work anyway.

I know my own illness.

They said it's psychological, not physical.

Wait.

I was sitting on the steps of some street in Paris,

and Madam De Pont was selling this.

See? It says right here.

It means

she is waiting for her husband's return.

It's supposed to be more effective than ton dieu, pelle la magique

or haute porte ennuience.

Haute porte, my ass.

It has a side effect of making you wink a lot, but who cares?

If you see that happen, it means it's working.

Anyway, it's the latest product.

Even if a woman is naked, I'm just not interested.

-Do you want some water? -Get out.

Do you remember the shocking story

of a five-year-old girl escaping barefooted from her stepmom?

When you hear the term "family",

you think of blood relations,

-but in reality, -Just this year alone,

-people you have breakfast with -there have been 15,000 cases

-of child abuse this year. -and greet you at home

-We need a solution. -may be the true family.

Dad.

My gosh.

Do you want to date me?

What?

What's his problem?

He's drunk out of his mind.

Gosh.

Date me.

What is he saying? He must have lost his mind.

Mr. Lee, what's wrong?

-Please move out of the way. -Excuse me.

I like you.

Do you want to date me?

You know I'm charming.

It's hard to refuse, right?

Sure, let's date.

I'm your sister-in-law!

There has been a recent riot of people nervous about...

Do you want to date me?

It's payment for the coffee.

Do you have time for this with the anchor audition coming up?

Date me.

Don't you want the nine o'clock news? Did you give up?

Prepare for the audition with me.

You know it hurts if the team chemistry score is low,

even if the individual score is high.

-Don't you want to date me? -Do you even know who I am?

No, I don't.

You stupid moron.

Snap out of it, you sleaze.

If you're drunk, go home and sleep, you idiot.

How dare you come to the sacred newsroom and yap about dating?

You're going to blame it on the alcohol in the morning

and pretend you don't remember, right?

And this is the newsroom, where you conceited reporters

claim only the truth may be spoken, you scum bucket!

You're good.

You curse really well.

It was crazy today because of the article, wasn't it?

I'm sorry,

but I can't marry you.

Let us each marry someone that we like.

Do you like someone?

Don't you like anyone?

No. Do you like someone?

I like Pyo Na-ri.

The weather forecaster? That Pyo Na-ri?

Since when?

Did you go on the blind date with me although you liked someone?

I first met Na-ri after our blind date.

I'll talk to both of our parents

and take the blame.

Sure.

The parents did rush it when we never even went on a date,

but I didn't mind.

Don't worry. I'll tell my parents.

-I'm glad you get me. -Exactly.

We get each other well.

-Thank you. -Sure.

I'm an employee here, but my number

is 234.

Where should I shoot my introduction video?

Did he go to the hospital or not?

Whatever.

Mr. Lee.

Thank you for taking me earlier.

It's okay.

I'm going to lose my mind.

Are you insane?

I told you it's dangerous even if it's stage one.

What's wrong with you?

Are you determined to fall ill?

Did you decide not to listen?

You don't go to the hospital, but you drink instead?

Why are you upsetting me so much?

She says I'm upsetting her.

Gosh.

Are you upset because of me?

Do you know how long Jeong-won and I looked for you earlier?

You only look for me when I upset you.

What?

You're completely drunk.

This is insane.

Just how much did you drink?

Do you want to date me?

Aren't we dating already?

That's what people are saying anyway.

This is incredible.

How do you enunciate so well even when you're drunk?

It's amazing. Is that why your pronunciation is so good?

Do you want to date me?

I'm dating Jeong-won.

I'm going to make it work with him.

I know you're drunk, but how could you say that?

There are things you shouldn't say. Don't you agree?

I'll do whatever you want, so date me.

Goodness.

You used to hate it when I even looked at you.

Really? Anything?

Yes.

Anything you want.

Sing "Wrongful Encounter" for me.

No.

I didn't hear you sing it last time because I went to throw up.

-I want to hear it. -Not that.

Forget it. Anything, my ass.

-I cried, saying it couldn't be -I cried

Because I had to give up both my love and my friendship

Dance!

My other friend patted me on the shoulder

-And told me to forget -Oh, my gosh.

My name is Lee Hwa-sin

-Your name is Pyo Na-ri -Pyo Na-ri

My heart is bleeding

Can you see how I feel

I don't know what I feel, do you?

No, you cannot, you don't need to

You call me, "Mr. Lee"

I respond

"Let's date"

Make me laugh.

Look at me.

I can do just one.

I can do just one eye.

Dance!

Get up. Get up I said. Up!

Sing. Now sing.

Fart.

It's your specialty.

Fart, just like you did when we were in the hospital.

Fart. Come on.

I can't do that.

Fart. Fart for me.

Fart.

Do it, just once.

Fart.

I think of the sound of your fart at times.

Hey.

Wouldn't it be a waste to end the crush

after three years?

Don't you want to break even?

No.

Did you love me?

How can a crush end?

I want cup-noodles.

I don't have any.

I want cup-noodles. Make me some.

I don't think I have any left.

How can a crush end?

Uncle's not in. Let's make some noodles.

Okay.

What's this?

You should give healthy stuff to students.

How could he take vitamins by himself?

Here they are.

The morning air has become chilly.

Autumn sure has deepened.

Sadly, it will be difficult to see a clear sky today.

There is a thick cloud pattern

and rain clouds are approaching as well.

We expect rainfall in Seoul this night of up to 20mm.

Except for the East Sea and Jeju...

GRANNY'S MARKET

Who is that? Is that Na-ri?

Yes.

The current temperature in Seoul is 17.2 degrees.

It is expected to reach a high of 23 degrees.

Take an umbrella. They say it may rain.

Other moms come to the school with umbrellas when it rains.

Okay. You'll be late. If it rains, I'll pick you up.

Ppal-gang, I saw your report card yesterday.

You are 200th in your school.

How can you go to college with grades like that?

You're a senior, but you play with those guys upstairs all the time.

Don't hang out with them.

Hang out with them. Stick to them like glue.

-Ja-yeong. -They're 1st and 2nd in their school.

She made it up to 200th because of them.

Without them, she probably won't even be 300th.

You must be embarrassed that I'm 200th in my school.

Just so you know though, there are only 200 students in my school.

She's last?

Are you saying you're last in your school?

How could someone I gave birth to

be last in her school?

I've only been top of my school.

Even if you put one answer for every question,

you wouldn't be last.

Are you a bird brain? Do you even have a brain?

How could you say that to your daughter?

Yes, I have rocks in my head,

but how dare you nag about my grades when you never once cooked for me?

-Nag? -You never once came to my school.

-How dare you act like my mom? -Act like your mom?

Ppal-gang, don't talk to your moms that way.

You stay out of it.

Why do you talk like that?

Is that what your dad taught you? Is that how he raised you?

Your dad may have left you to do anything as you pleased,

but I won't. Look at your nails.

Those aren't the nails of a high school senior.

Why are they so long? And they're painted too.

You brat. Clip them right now.

How dare you women tell me what to do about my nails?

Why are you acting like my mom when you're not?

What? Say that again.

I'm not your mom,

but I'm acting like a mom?

Hey. How dare you slap my daughter?

She's my precious daughter.

She won't learn any manners otherwise.

Saying "yes" to everything doesn't make you a mother.

Do you know how Dad treated me even though he had no money?

I never once watched Na-ri do the weather.

If it rained, Dad waited for me at the school with an umbrella.

If it was cold, he would bring a jacket.

If it snowed, he waited there with roasted sweet potatoes.

And I never once clipped my own nails.

Dad always clipped them for me before they got long.

I haven't been able to clip my nails once

since Dad passed away,

because I feel like Dad will clip them for me again. But...

But...

who are you to tell me to clip my nails?

When he apologized that those things

were all he could do for me because we had no money, where were you?

You never once made me lunch, so why should I call you my mom?

She'll be late for school.

Ppal-gang, let's go.

Guys, get in.

Get in.

Good morning, Mr. Lee.

I got you this instead of cup-noodles.

When did I do that?

"When did I do that?"

See? I knew it.

Don't follow me.

I'm not following you. I'm just going my way.

Hello.

Get in.

Mr. Lee, are you going to date me or Ms. Park?

What? I wasn't the only one you asked to date?

You girls back off. He's going to date me.

No, not you.

You told everyone that you're dating Na-ri,

but now this.

You asked every woman in the company last night to date you, didn't you?

What will you do?

Whom will you date?

You shouldn't drink anymore.

I'm going to date Hye-won.

TRUTH, PERHAPS LIES, HOW CAN A CRUSH CHANGE?

Hye-won, you've been selected.

Have a nice day.

Mom slaps hard.

-Hello? -This is the real estate agent.

I found a place.

Is it close to Ppal-gang's place? That is all I care about.

Of course. Would you like to sign the lease?

Yes. I'll send you the deposit.

Hey.

Are you dating Na-ri? For real?

Are you dating Na-ri?

I'm not dating anyone.

If you're not dating anyone, are you...

Why are you so angry?

Wait. Hold up!

-Are you crazy? -I need to tell you something.

I have to get to an interview.

It's very important.

What is it?

Do you want to date me?

I'll do whatever you want, so date me.

Did you love me?

How can a crush end?

Don't tell Jeong-won

I had a crush on you for three years, okay?

You can't.

Please promise me.

Was that so urgent and important?

Yes.

Okay.

Make sure to go to the hospital with me.

-Okay? -Please move.

Okay?

I said to move.

Mr. Lee.

Of course, crushes end. After all, it isn't preserved.

-Did he think it'd last? -You freak.

I'm not a statue in a museum. Did he think I'd stand in place,

staring at him forever or something?

It's not like he likes me anyway.

You've lost your mind.

He always looks down on me.

Now? Really?

I have a meeting.

Your girlfriend says it's going to rain today.

She says it'll rain tonight.

Does it look like it'll rain?

She's a good liar, isn't she?

She lies to the nation

every day on TV.

I'm sure she lies to you too.

You know not to believe what girls like that say, right?

Why is being wrong about the weather

the forecaster's fault?

Then whose fault is it?

It's the cloud's fault, right?

It's up to the clouds, isn't it?

Your dad called me.

-He did? -He called for the first time

after three years,

and said if I make you to marry Geum Su-jeong,

he won't divorce me.

He said if I can't get the marriage through,

he doesn't need me anymore.

Jeong-won.

Don't say my name

so sweetly.

Save me.

You'll make me sway.

Don't make me a divorcee.

Even if it's not real, let me live this way. Please?

I want you to be happy.

-Of course. -You want me to be happy too, right?

Good.

Don't trust her.

All of the women near you are only after your money.

Su-jeong's family is wealthier than we are.

They have more than enough money,

so she's obviously not after your money.

She just likes you

and is sincere and innocent.

Did Su-jeong say she likes me?

I just had brunch with her.

She says she likes you.

She says she wants to have you meet her parents.

I'll drive myself.

Do you want

to make your mom a divorcee and date a girl who lies every day?

No, right?

Su-jeong is the one who's lying.

What?

That jerk!

How could you take that wench's side when I'll become a divorcee?

Don't worry.

I'll tell my parents.

She says she likes you.

She says she wants to have you meet her parents.

She quietly stabbed me

in the back.

I hate people who do that.

I guess this is war now.

-What? -There is no fund in that account.

I sent ten million won to that account.

I think you were the victim of voice phishing.

No, this can't be.

Damn it.

How long will it take to sell the Chinese shares?

What?

The price fell?

Sell them as soon as possible, please.

It can't exceed one minute.

Slowly.

Hello.

I am applicant 78537, Pyo Na-ri,

auditioning for the announcer position.

This...

This is my last chance.

I am Pyo...

I am Pyo Na-ri...

Hello, Director Bang.

What were you doing there?

Do you need something? I can do it.

I wasn't doing anything much.

You look like you were caught stealing.

The broadcast ended a while ago. What were you doing?

I don't steal, no matter how little I have.

Take Ms. Hong to the conference room.

-Yes. -Yes, ma'am.

Look.

You know...

that red puppy keychain in your locker?

I have it.

Let me keep it. I'll buy you a new one.

Sure. Thank you.

Director Bang.

You are fair and impartial, right?

I'll do my best.

I want to gain your approval,

at least once.

Sharpen your knives.

Sharpen your knives.

Sharpen your knives.

Sharpen your knives.

Sharpen your knives.

Sharpen them all, please.

I need to use them, so sharpen them well.

Yes, ma'am.

CHUMSUNGDAE SAUNA

I have this.

SHOW THIS TEXT AT THE FRONT DESK FOR SPECIAL SERVICES

Where are you going?

Go back.

Once you pass through strict security,

there is a sea

of illegal gambling machines.

He risked his life for this.

Come on.

These gambling establishments have spread to the farmlands now.

They have soundproofed the room

and have black-out curtains to ensure 24-hour gambling.

On the outside, it looks like a regular spa.

It filters the clients using invitations by text,

-thus evading the police. -Did you put something on that?

Yes, it's fine.

It's fine.

The owner is Moon, a man in his 50s.

Hey, you. Let's talk.

You don't have the game I like.

-What? -What is that in your hand?

You rat.

You rat.

He even hired men who used to be

in organized crime.

Who are you? Who sent you?

What is that? Give it to me!

Give it to me.

SBC NEWS LIVE

Great work, Mr. Lee Hwa-sin.

The illegal gambling rings, which we thought quieted down,

have gotten quite cunning.

Yes, that's right.

The industry people and employees use burner phones.

Their methods had become more discreet and complicated.

It was shocking that it had spread to a remote farming town.

How will the investigation proceed?

The police arrested the owner and the employees.

They stated that they plan

to search the vicinity as well.

Illegal gambling rings pop up whenever you're about to forget.

His eyes are bugged out. Great.

Okay, VCR stand by.

Cue!

From the second half of next year, starting with the capital...

That was great.

Take it easy though.

Don't work so hard to win points because of the anchor auditions.

You stand out more than the story, punk.

I know they hate me.

I'll make sure they have to give me high scores.

Just you wait.

Focus, everyone.

-Hi. -Let's go.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You didn't get hit here too, did you?

Why are you here instead of out on a date?

I came to have dinner with you.

I have plans.

With whom?

Eat with us. Who is it?

It's a secret.

You're not one to have those.

You're making it up so that we can eat alone.

Please don't do that.

The three of us can go on dates every day.

What?

Why not?

What should we get?

I like being with the two of you.

I really have dinner plans.

-You do? -You shouldn't have come. Now go.

Why don't we all go together?

You have no plans. I can see it in your eyes.

I want to eat with you.

Please leave me alone, will you?

Go eat by yourselves. Please.

I'm being sincere. That is my wish, my hope, and dream. Okay?

Could you be any denser?

Go!

Please, get out of my sight! Now!

Do you think that'll make me give up?

The more you do this, I...

No, we have to eat with you.

Right, Na-ri?

You feel the same way, right?

Well, why don't

the two of you--

Why are you dragging me into your relationship?

When you're happy, the more the merrier.

We haven't had a decent meal together since you came back.

No. The two of you can eat.

I can just have cup-noodles.

Cup-noodles. Cup-noodles? Seriously?

You said you don't have any cup-noodles!

I thought we were going to have dinner.

What?

Yes!

-Let's go. -Okay.

Did he really have plans?

He says they're dating.

Who did? Hwa-sin said that?

Yes.

She really isn't his type.

What's his type?

Similar to mine.

I doubt that.

He doesn't like women like me.

That's because you don't know.

Hwa-sin likes you.

That's why he set us up.

He wouldn't have done that if he didn't like you.

We're really good friends, you know.

You and Su-jeong just became the punchline for people's jokes.

You look so cute like this.

Let go.

Sweetie.

What should we eat? Do you normally live on noodles?

You don't eat well or sleep well,

and you just got out of the hospital.

We'll have to eat something tastier than what Hwa-sin is having.

We should, Mr. Ko.

Mr. Ko?

"Mr. Ko" sounds weird.

I wonder what they're eating.

Gosh.

Let me take that.

What did you get?

Thank you.

I wanted to cook for Ppal-gang.

-Thank you, Chef. -Not at all.

I'm sorry.

How did he hold it back all this time?

This means

that nothing happened with Ja-yeong, right?

Shit!

It gave me a heart attack.

Seriously.

What's this?

My goodness.

DEAR DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW

This tastes good.

Dear daughters-in-law, I made 1,000 octopus dumplings

which Ppal-gang likes.

So yummy.

If any go into your mouths, I'll cut you with a knife.

I listen to your show all the time.

-Thank you. -You're so pretty.

-Look who it is. -Hello.

I guess the announcer lady came because it's supposed to storm.

I know. What time is it already?

Oh my.

-Where's Ppal-gang? -She's coming.

Look at your uniform.

I...

I just wished you were my mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Don't you have a mom?

I can't believe you just asked him that.

I'm sorry.

I'll be your mom too,

if you have low expectations for one.

What? I thought you were going to be Ppal-gang's mom.

Being a mom isn't a big deal.

I can be one if I want.

Right?

Go and wait in the car.

Ppal-gang's coming. Ppal-gang!

It has a side effect of making you wink a lot,

but who cares?

If you see that happen, it means it's working.

When was the last time a woman got you excited?

Is it a sin if you get excited and wink at a woman,

want to touch them, kiss them,

and sleep with them?

It will make your heart, the man's heart, pound.

Isn't it cool?

RAK PASTA

Where does your niece live?

On the third floor of this building.

It really is nice and close.

It's too close. Much closer than I expected.

You lost to Ms. Gye and Ms. Bang, right?

Yes.

You can see everything that happens on that other rooftop.

You can even jump across.

Thank you for the ride, sir.

You should sleep at home tonight.

-I will. -Why do you call me

"Mr. Ko" and "sir"?

Do you work for me?

I'll go now.

What?

Get home safely.

You don't have the basics of someone dating.

Both at the restaurant and in the car,

ever since I asked you to date me,

you act like my personal assistant.

But you are a boss.

Stop that.

"Mr. Ko" is more comfortable.

What about me?

Am I supposed to date, treating you like my assistant?

Must I date as if I'm with Mr. Cha?

I...

haven't dated much.

And you've been an assistant?

No, I don't know much about that either.

I'm just trying to get on your good side.

I can't believe you.

I really want you to like me.

Jeez.

I'm the one who should be trying.

Why would you need to and what for?

Did you think I'd like it if you called me "Mr. Ko"?

I don't know, to be honest.

I just don't.

Then

just do as I say. Exactly as I say.

-What? -Everything. Whatever. Anything.

What? Are you scared? Tough luck.

I won't ask what you want to do or eat or where you want to go.

What did you say all night long?

"Anything is good. I like everything. That's fine."

"Yes, of course."

"Thank you. Thank you for dinner." Right?

I didn't take you to be so naive. What's wrong with you?

I was nervous.

I'm the man who wants to love you.

Don't turn me into a man who makes women uncomfortable.

I don't remember when I was loved...

Maybe it's because I'm not used to being loved.

You don't seem to be used to giving love either, Ms. Pyo.

You're right.

Is it frustrating, sir?

Sir? Are you kidding me?

Stop being so formal.

-Is it frustrating, sir? -Again?

Just stop it.

Is it, sir?

Gosh, it is frustrating.

Fine.

Am I... Am I being dumped already?

You're unbelievable.

I'll get going.

That was bold of you.

Goodnight.

That's Hwa-sin's car.

Why did you bring me here?

Lend me some money.

How much?

Ten million won.

Did you ask me to date you to borrow money?

Now that's pathetic.

Forget it, if you don't want to.

Will you date me even if I won't?

I won't date you even if you do.

Don't be stupid and tell Na-ri

that you like her.

Never.

Why not?

You know she's dating my friend.

-Steal her away. -I can't. I introduced them.

-Steal her away anyway. -How?

She had a crush on you for three years.

She'll come to you if you ask.

-Really? -She'll come right over

from what I see.

Do you think so?

Of course. Na-ri may be waiting for it.

Really?

Forget about stupid friendships.

Others don't even worry about things like this.

I guess that's possible.

Love. Love is most important.

Naturally.

You'll just be a scumbag, that's all.

A scumbag?

Yes.

Don't you want to be a scumbag?

Are you messing with me?

Obviously.

RAK PASTA AND VILLA

So, Hwa-sin,

don't become a scumbag,

and do the nine o'clock news with me, date me,

-and-- -Don't you think I can do it?

I can be a scumbag.

Did something happen between you two?

Don't talk to Na-ri or even look at her.

What are you doing?

Please, get lost!

You get lost.

I'm going out of town tomorrow with Ms. Gye for a story.

Don't you want to see the ocean?

Let's go.

Do you always change like this when you have a boyfriend?

Get your act together.

You'll lose both your friend and the one you love.

Don't let Na-ri find out how you feel.

-Are you afraid? -Are you challenging me?

Are you not confident?
