Original subtitles

Come with me.

You saw the drawings, didn't you?

Don't like me.

I like you.

Get rid of your feelings.

I love you.

What would have happened if I had said this three years ago?

I LOVE YOU, PYO NA-RI

I'm sorry for figuring it out so late.

You're out of your mind.

It only takes three minutes. We'll get there in three minutes.

I'll help you make it to the test in time.

Thank you. I really am grateful.

But don't do anything else for me.

Let's just say the three minutes

makes up for the three years.

I can't think of anything about the test

because of you.

I don't know if it's because of the test,

or if it's because of my fear of heights, or because of you.

But I think my heart is going to burst.

I think my chest will burst where I had surgery.

We're here.

-Already? -Already?

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Lee.

Good luck.

Okay? Just relax.

All right.

Let's go to Busan to meet the dolphins.

HELIPAD

Show them what a Miss Korea can do.

APPLICANT PYO NA-RI

Everyone got one, right?

Let's do one last check-up.

We'll start as soon as we're ready.

Na-ri.

Let me see.

Hello. Yes.

Mr. Oh.

There was a slight change in the course.

You changed the course?

What are you talking about?

Aren't you supposed to avoid that by all means?

Are you out of your mind?

All right.

Sit down.

I'll talk for just seven minutes.

Catch your breath while listening to me.

Since it's for the morning news, there's a test.

You won't be only reading the given script.

In the morning, you have tons of breaking news.

They'll probably throw in additional news scripts

on the spot during the news.

When the clips are not ready,

they even ask you to fill in the blank time.

Look at me.

My eyes are the camera.

Memorize the first subject and the last sentence within one second.

Then fix your eyes on the camera.

That's the most important part, okay?

Okay.

Scripts filled with numbers will be the most difficult.

Numbers with long vowels?

They're two, four, five and fifty.

The rest of them are all short vowels.

Good job.

There will be four cameras.

You have to focus on the one in the center.

Move your face along with your eyes to look professional.

Even a short side-glance can be very irritating.

You should restrict your body movements.

That's why anchors get rid of their smallest habits.

You've been making gestures while delivering weather forecasts,

such as sticking out your chest and bottom.

So be careful not to do any of that.

It's best to look at the lower part of the camera in the center.

The test will be determined within five seconds.

They'll decide about your looks within three seconds.

You have a likable appearance, so...

So don't worry about that.

They'll judge your voice within two to three seconds.

The way you say "hello"

on rainy days sounds more reliable

than how you say it on sunny days. Try it.

-Hello. -That's for sunny days.

-Hello. -Even lower, so it sounds reliable.

Hello.

Remember that pitch.

Hello.

There you go.

Hello.

Don't tell anyone that you came here by helicopter with me.

Relax.

You're not out of breath anymore, are you?

Okay. Are we ready?

Let's wait a bit more.

KIM TAE-RA

-Ms. Bang. -Well...

Ms. Bang.

It's almost 8:00 a.m., but Ms. Kim is not here yet.

Should we just start?

What? No way.

I'm sorry. She'll be here soon.

We'll wait.

Let's wait a bit more.

We'll wait.

Why am I nervous?

Move.

-Mom. -Move.

That's my son.

All right.

Do you realize that you made me lose my face just because of a girl?

This is so humiliating.

When I can't be on time myself,

how could I be judging announcers

that have to be punctual?

How will I have the right to say who I want to choose?

Forget about the recruitment.

I'd rather dive into the Han River right now.

This is so humiliating. How embarrassing is this?

This is so annoying.

Hey! I'm your mother.

Even after doing this to your own mother,

are you happy that your girlfriend can take the test?

-Are you happy now? You jerk. -Don't...

disappoint me any further.

How great of you.

Why should I look out for the girl that my son puts before me?

Let's see who wins. Let's see.

Sir, you're...

dead meat now.

-You're a great driver, Mr. Cha. -Right.

It should have started 15 minutes ago. What's going on?

I'm Pyo Na-ri.

This is SBC News...

SBC News...

It's natural to be nervous before a test.

It's natural.

"The price on the third..."

Hello.

I'm in the waiting room.

Don't worry.

I'll call you when I'm done.

Okay. That's great--

She's there.

"It's back at 40 dollars per barrel.

Yesterday, Dubai..."

Sir, should we go and see

how well Na-ri does?

-Just see? -Let's support her.

-Sure. -Let's go.

Did you report to Mr. Oh like I told you to?

Yes.

Sir.

You changed the course because of me.

I lost my mind for a moment.

No one else other than the two of us

ever got on this helicopter, okay?

If they find out an applicant came to the test

by the company's helicopter, she might get marked down.

It might mess things up. Please.

Mr. Lee, how are you planning to deal with this?

Let's start the camera test.

The test will be broadcasted live within the station.

It makes up an important part of the evaluation.

When your name is called, please enter the newsroom

with the given script.

For the sake of fairness,

please keep the monitor off in the waiting room.

Number one, Ms. Pyo Na-ri.

2016 ANNOUNCER RECRUITMENT

WEATHER FORECASTERS OFFICE

What are we doing here?

-I know you want to watch. -It's even making me nervous.

So many people applied this year.

It's Na-ri.

Luckily, one of the judges was late.

It's Na-ri's lucky day.

-Mr. Choi. -Yes.

Hello.

This is the open recruitment for announcers for News Morning.

Let's start the camera test. Please get ready.

Good luck, Na-ri!

Good luck!

Please take the script away. We'll do the breaking news.

We'll give you some breaking news.

That's right. For morning news, you need to be quick-witted.

It's a sliding-script test.

Give it to me. Hurry.

What should I do?

Hello, I'm applicant number 36549, Jun Hyun-moo.

-The price of Dubai crude oil-- -What are you doing?

I'll be 41 next year. Cut me some slack.

-Oh, no. Give me just a second. -What should I do?

-What are you doing? -What's going on?

Why?

SLIDING SCRIPT TEST

I'm applicant number one for SBC News Morning,

Pyo Na-ri.

-Mr. Lee? -Fix your eyes on the camera.

As soon as you sit in the newsroom, the first thing you have to do

is to find camera number two in the center.

Tell yourself that you own the newsroom.

Fix your eyes on the lower part of the camera.

Speak naturally as if you're talking to your friend.

Stay calm.

Take a deep breath for half a second.

Start reading.

We have some breaking news.

Last night, a 54-year-old... A 54-year-old...

A 54-year-old man named Cho and a 54-year-old man named Kim,

while crossing the road drunk...

She has no understanding of long and short vowels.

She has terrible pronunciation, too.

Doesn't she know that numbers

like two, four, five and 50 have long vowels?

She's reading the numbers the wrong way.

Does she really have experience?

We have some breaking news.

Look at me. My eyes are the camera.

Memorize the first subject and the last sentence within one second.

Then fix your eyes on the camera.

That's the most important part, okay?

When reading scripts you've never read before, the ones filled with numbers

will be the most difficult.

54-YEAR-OLD MAN NAMED CHO, 54-YEAR-OLD MAN NAMED KIM

DIED, OVER 1,228 CASES

Last night, in North Chungcheong, a 54-year-old man named Cho...

and a 54-year-old man named Kim,

while crossing the road drunk,

were both hit by a bus and died on the spot.

Due to this accident, including a bus driver Choi, aged 69,

Lee, aged 24 and Jung, aged 55,

a total of 24 people died.

There have been 1,228 serious car accidents

so far this year.

She got the subject and the last sentence right.

She's supposed to look at the camera.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT TEST

Snake smugglers were arrested at Incheon International Airport

while trying to smuggle 20 living snakes.

When anesthesia wore off,

-a snake escaped-- -A snake escaped--

-Gosh! -My goodness!

-Disqualified. -Gosh, this is just fantastic.

They were caught when...

Son of a...

What?

Disqualified.

-Disqualified. -Although the smugglers

were arrested on the spot, only 19 out of 20 snakes were found.

The customs office is looking for the missing snake.

I think I've found the last snake.

The customs agent stated that the snake is venomous,

and therefore...

What a bold brat.

That brat has no fear.

If you do well,

I'll be the anchor by your side one day.

You should be honored.

Na-ri, you're confident, is that it?

It was the world's rhinoceros day.

The white rhinoceros species

comprise Ceratotherium simum

Simum and Ceratotherium...

Ceratotherium simum cottoni...

Diceros bicornis...

-With 8 horns, -With 8 horns,

-the gigantic rhinoceros... -the gigantic rhinoceros...

-Time exceeded. -Diceros bicornis michaeli...

Diceros bicornis michaeli...

-And Diceros bicornis... -Time exceeded.

To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock.

In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock.

Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock.

From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big, black block.

In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock.

In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock.

With a life-long lock...

Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock.

From a cheap and chippy.

Chippy chopper on a big, black block.

Time exceeded.

Get your act together!

Can't you do it right?

You use your mouth well enough to stuff your face.

Do you use it only to eat?

Get out. Out.

Watch carefully.

To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock...

In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock...

Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock.

From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big, black block.

Out in the pasture, the nature watcher watches the catcher.

While the catcher watches the pitcher who pitches the balls.

Whether the temperature's up or whether the temperature's down,

the nature watcher, the catcher and the pitcher are always around.

CLOSING TEST

Finally, let's do the closing.

Ready, cue.

Just like the news regarding the wild ginseng con earlier,

there is a rise in cons against the elderly.

We need a means to protect the senior citizens.

Don't finish yet. Stall 40 more seconds.

Surprisingly, six out of ten victims knew,

but were fooled.

They were thankful that the scammers were there when they were lonely,

and they let themselves be fooled although they knew.

The scammers were friendly to them

by speaking to them endearingly.

It was hard for them to refuse them

who were nicer than their children.

Perhaps the victimized elderly

needed a friend to talk to...

who helped fight their loneliness rather than a physical cure-all.

Okay. Twenty-five seconds more.

Some of them are actually pleading

the prosecutor to not punish these scammers. It is heartbreaking.

They may have lost from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

Their children who never called may be calling them incessantly,

resenting their parents for the loss.

An occasional token greeting may prevent cons

-against the elderly. -Twenty-three, 24.

Okay. Good.

That concludes SBC News Morning.

Have a great day.

Isn't she the first to time it perfectly to finish

at the right time?

She doesn't seem like Na-ri.

She seems to be the best.

What do you think?

As you all know,

it is too burdensome for the news if they are too pretty.

And rather than whether someone is good or bad,

it's whether or not they are suitable for the news.

What matters most is whether or not the face looks good on screen.

Na-ri doesn't look graceful enough

to report the news.

Because she was a weather forecaster for too long, she chops her speech.

She also has makes too many movements,

which are distracting.

Even when you blink,

it is distracting when seen on the screen.

Her intonation also goes up and down

rather than maintaining it constant, which is the most difficult to do.

And she speaks in run-on sentences and doesn't know when to stop.

Her speech is annoying and a mess. She is not...

suitable to be an announcer. Don't you agree?

Thank you, Mr. Lee.

Good job.

How did you get here?

I flew.

Wasn't the motorcycle dangerous?

Luckily, one of the judges arrived late,

so we started late.

That's great.

From now on,

you'll only have good luck.

-I'm hungry. -Let's go eat.

Hello.

-Get in. -Okay.

Take care of my mom.

Can't I hide from her today?

Go kiss up to her.

She's all puffed up like a blowfish that's about to burst.

Go deflate her.

But, sir...

You should sit next to me.

Okay.

Is your bag that precious to you? Or is it the contents?

-Well... -Why are you clutching it?

-Put it down. -Okay.

Where should we go? What do you want to eat? Tell me anything.

Well...

Just...

Just what?

It can be far. It can be expensive.

Anything is fine, other than wanting to be alone.

Although I'm sure you don't, right?

Are you so tired that you really want to be alone?

This is so frustrating.

You're back to being my personal assistant again. Don't be nervous.

I'm an easy guy.

I'm not difficult.

My mind has gone blank, now that it's over.

Just stay with me.

That's all you want?

Yes.

Brat.

Couldn't she call to say it's over?

She could've at least told me if she did well or not.

Can't she do that much?

She must have broken her fingers.

How did Na-ri do?

She took the camera test, right?

-What do you take me for? -Did she make any mistakes?

You're so freaking annoying.

Am I the only one practicing for the audition? That's enough already.

Na-ri showed up on time miraculously.

She did freaking well on the test.

Whatever mistakes she made, other people made them as well.

-Happy? -That's good.

What a cute bastard.

I need to review these documents that piled up while I was out.

Sorry. I'll be done soon.

Take your time.

You must be hungry. Go ahead and eat.

It'll taste better if you eat it while it's warm.

-You eat first. -Still, I want to eat with you.

It'll get cold.

You said it won't taste good then.

Okay.

Do I need to approve all the Chinese documents at once?

-No, sir. -Okay.

-Do you speak Chinese? -No.

That's all in Chinese.

I don't.

Then how can you sign that then?

Are you finally curious?

I was always curious. I just didn't ask.

Do you want to sit here?

No. Sorry for distracting you.

No, it's okay. I'm sorry. No...

Stay right here.

When are the results out?

In a few days.

It'll be torture until then.

What will you do?

Here.

You know how they cut sandwiches in half so that you can share?

I've always wanted to split it with a boyfriend.

This isn't that special.

I just wanted to do it

since I never got to.

If you were curious about me, why didn't you ask?

Come to think of it, you never once called first

or asked me to go eat first.

It's like I'm the only one who likes you.

Right? I like you more, right?

Na-ri is...

I'm right.

You're not denying it. Darn it.

In the past, the women liked me more.

Did you have many girlfriends?

I don't know.

I'm sure you did. It's obvious.

Why is that obvious?

How could they not fall for you?

That would've been hard.

I fell for you at first sight, too.

You fell for me at first sight?

Yes.

Yes.

How could you say that

so straightforwardly like that?

Even during the test,

you grabbed the snake with your bare hand without getting scared.

-Aren't you scared of anything? -Well, I'm close to the props staff,

and I heard her say Mr. Choi, the production director,

asked her to get him a rubber snake, so I expected it.

-I'm afraid of snakes. -Wow. I had no idea

and wondered how I would date such a scary woman.

Good job today.

Ms. Bang.

Oh, my gosh.

You weren't answering my calls.

Oh, I see. Just a minute.

-Have you had dinner? -I have.

-Already? -Yes.

By the way, Seong-suk is inside. You should eat with her.

I'm sure she hasn't eaten yet.

I'll call her for you.

Why are you avoiding me?

You won't take my calls and make excuses left and right.

Are you angry because I asked both of you to date me?

I'm not avoiding you.

Ms. Bang.

Weren't you going to get dinner?

I see you hiding there!

It's been a while.

Is something wrong?

I got a divorce.

I'm single.

Are you seeing someone?

Are you married?

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you turn the chopper around?

Don't you know what happened because you changed the course?

They're going to discipline you, you punk.

But... Here. Look.

-What? -Look at the dolphins.

Look at how cute they are. How sad that they're dead now.

Don't change the subject. Can't you read the signs?

You're lucky the chopper wasn't headed to the Blue House.

I've never heard of anyone making a news chopper

go wherever he wants before.

Listen carefully.

One wrong move, you won't...

be the nine o'clock anchor.

Actually, depending on what the discipline committee decides,

you may not be able to audition at all.

Tell me the truth, got it?

What did you do? The pilot says

it was just you and him and that no one else got on.

So why did you turn it around? What did you do?

I had to go to the restroom, so I did.

You... You had to go to the restroom? And?

And I went back and forth to pick this up.

The video of the dolphins.

Do you take me for a fool?

Go to the restroom?

You needed to go to the restroom. Do you expect me to believe that?

I really did. I did!

You should've just relieved yourself in the chopper and threw it out!

How long does it take to fly to Busan?

You had to go to the restroom? You punk!

Do you think this is funny? Stop smiling!

Is it that interesting?

I'm sorry.

What are you talking about? What were you thinking?

You'll still do the weather tomorrow, right?

Yes, definitely.

Can't you just continue doing the weather?

When will we train someone to do as well as you do? Right?

Yes.

Don't be hurt. It's a compliment.

Yes, ma'am.

I LOVE YOU, PYO NA-RI

If you do well,

I'll be the anchor by your side one day.

You should be honored.

Why are you smiling? Who are you thinking about?

Whom else?

It's obvious.

-You did well, right? -Thanks to you.

Don't be too disappointed even if you fail.

I won't.

-Good night. -Thank you.

Hey.

Buy me ice cream.

GRANNY'S MARKET

Do you go to the hospital regularly?

Yes.

Don't skip the appointment.

-Okay. -Listen to that response.

You are lying.

I go to the hospital regularly.

Every day at 5:00 p.m. Third floor.

Radiation treatment room 21.

-Really? -Yes.

You've matured.

Yes.

Mr. Lee.

What?

Thank you for today.

-Do you think I'll make it? -Don't question your life.

Only make exclamations.

Mixing the two is worse.

"I'll make it. I'll make it. I'll make it this time!"

Exclamation. Got it?

If I become an announcer, will you really do the news with me?

Will that day ever come?

May I like you?

It'll just be a crush. Let me do it for a short while.

You did it, too.

You like Jeong-won. Be good to him.

I'll like you.

You said you wanted someone to have a crush on you,

so let me do it.

It's not a question, but an exclamation. I'm doing it.

So you just act like I did.

It'll be fun.

It must be satisfying.

Enjoy it.

Just enjoy it.

Do you mean it?

Of course.

-Are you insane? -Don't be swayed...

by me.

Don't be swayed.

JEONG-WON

Eat up, my baby.

You eat, Mom.

Here.

You need to eat to be healthy.

Come on. Eat.

Well...

Good boy.

No baby is this bad.

Keep eating, my baby.

-What's wrong with her? -Does she have dementia?

Did she forget?

Why is she being like that to you?

I became a baby.

Look at me, Ppal-gang.

What?

Your uncle is sick.

Stop hurting my son.

Baby.

Baby.

Oh, my gosh.

He likes being called "baby." I thought he'd hate it.

Should we call you "baby" from now on, too?

Baby.

Baby, why do you want to become the nine o'clock news anchor?

My baby,

why are you trying to challenge your sister-in-law?

Among 600 reporters in the company,

only 0.001 percent become the nine o'clock news anchor.

If you talk about lasting a year, five years or ten years,

the probability drops.

All reporters dream of becoming the nine o'clock news anchor.

Then why did you turn the chopper around?

He even got surgery alone without telling anyone.

He's getting radiation treatment alone, too.

You dad died, and if I lose your uncle too,

I...

can't live.

Let's be good to him. Let's forgive him now. Please?

Imagine how miserable and resentful he must've been...

that he developed such a disease.

What's wrong with him?

He has breast cancer.

What?

You must be mistaken.

I'm not.

Hello.

I came to buy the car I looked at last time.

I see. This way, please.

May I take another look at it?

Sure.

How pretty.

He's busy. I feel bad making him come every morning.

-Here's your drink. -Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you looking for?

Did you see the drawing back here?

Na-ri took it.

Wasn't it hers?

Is it good?

GRANNY'S MARKET

-Beom. -Yes?

Did Na-ri say it's going to rain tomorrow or not?

She said it won't rain? I should bring an umbrella then.

She's always lying, right?

Go home and sleep. Look at the time.

And stop drawing these things.

Got it? Go home!

Why are you yelling at him?

Let's go. Come on.

What did he do wrong?

Don't love me.

Don't love me, okay?

Don't love Pyo Na-ri.

Draw something else. Draw puppies and kittens that you like.

Draw bunnies. There are plenty of things you like.

I miss you even when I'm looking at you.

Do you get it?

Hwa-sin.

Come to my office.

DIRECTOR OF NEWSROOM

Hey.

You knew you'd have to face consequences

for changing the flight course without prior notice, right?

-Right? -I expected it.

I'll accept it.

Is it probation or docked pay?

Hwa-sin.

It's suspension.

One-month probation and six months of docked pay.

Happy?

Are you angry?

You're lucky you weren't fired.

Does that mean I can't come to work for a month?

I guess you didn't see that coming.

You poor thing.

Mr. Oh.

I thought we'd duke it out for the nine o'clock anchor position.

-Go home and rest. -Then I can't even audition.

You can't come to the station! How will you audition?

You're disqualified.

Hey. That's why you should think before causing trouble.

Let me ask you. What were you thinking?

Okay.

Why is he being so docile?

He's like that because he's in shock right now.

He'll be back.

Hwa-sin, were you suspended?

Is it true that you turned a chopper around and came back?

Who said that? It's not true.

Hey.

What about the audition?

Are you out before you even try?

What did Mr. Oh say? If you're suspended, you can't come in.

Can you audition? No, right?

You were disqualified, right? Hey.

That means you're disqualified from the audition!

You failed before even trying. What are you going to do?

Hwa-sin.

Aren't you getting in?

Hello.

The doors are closing.

HR will be calling you tomorrow.

Why?

Did I fail?

If you failed, why would I even bother to tell you

that you'll get a call

saying that you've failed?

Your girlfriend is going to become an announcer.

I'm so angry.

Are the studio people ignoring me?

How could they disregard my opinion just because I was 20 minutes late?

This is all thanks to you.

It wasn't thanks to me. She would've made it anyway.

You're the one that did something you didn't have to.

She passed because she's qualified.

-Mom. -Let go.

I'm having fun lately.

I'm excited even if I'm busy.

Because of that girl?

Even work is fun.

So please let me date.

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Please leave a message...

PYO NA-RI

What are you doing here?

Your radiation treatment is at the same time every day.

You have to pass by here.

Aren't you going there now?

Let's go.

Why is a weather forecaster getting soaked in rain?

Don't you have something to say to me?

I want to be the first

to hear both the good news and the bad.

You need to lean on me first, okay?

Don't be swayed

by me.

Don't be swayed.

MEN'S DRESSING ROOM

I will...

never let you sway me.

Okay.

I will never like you again.

Okay.

Am I crazy?

That's enough.

Even if you draw me 1,000 of these for 100 days,

I won't look back.

You must think I'd fall for you if you sweet-talked me.

But I won't.

Okay,

so get out.

You know what a great guy your friend is, right?

I like him more.

I like Jeong-won more than he likes me.

He's much more well-mannered than you.

He's warmer, nicer,

more considerate, better-looking, wealthier,

nicer to me.

And he has a nicer voice, doesn't pretend, and is honest.

He works hard,

is comforting, manly, and successful.

He isn't fickle or ever yap.

He looks good when he opens his mouth and when he closes it.

He has a broad chest and they aren't lopsided.

He's warm and comforting, and makes me want to hug him.

The opposite.

The exact opposite is you. You know that, right?

Yes. You're right. Okay?

Did you barge in to say that?

Get out.

I got you disqualified from the anchor audition.

Get out.

I'm an evil witch.

It'll be dangerous if you stay.

I passed.

I wanted to tell you first.

I warned you that it's dangerous.

Jeong-won is a great guy.

He's a good man.

I agree.

You are...

a bad person.

-I agree. -You are...

-a bad man. -I agree.

You are a bad friend.

I agree with that, too.

Are you crazy?

At least for now, I am.

I LOVE YOU, NA-RI

Na-ri.

Don't go anywhere.

Stay in front of me.

I liked you for three years, but there are

so many firsts.

You have no idea how scared I was.

I want to hear your voice.

I love you.

-Don't go to Jeong-won. -Don't go to Hwa-sin.

You're the best, just as you are.

No, I'm the worst.

This is all your fault.
