Hwang In-guk, come on. Swallow it.
Aren't you going to go to school?

It'd be nice if I didn't.

Hey, you're a second-grader now.

What will you become when you grow up?

A third-grader.

I can't believe I gave birth to him.

Spank him.

You know we wake up early because of you.

Children have a strong presence indeed.

Eat your breakfast.

No. I'm going to sleep some more
after In-guk goes to school.

Open your mouth.

What is it now?

I don't want to become like you.

I'm going to go on a diet.

Stop eating meat first.

You're eating meat for breakfast.

Will that make me fat?

You eat meat for dinner too.

Raise your upper body as you touch
your knees with your fingertips.

Damn it.

No wonder we have belly fat.
We eat and sit all day.

- Jin-joo.
- One, two,

- Sit-ups...
- three, four,

five, six, seven,

- eight, nine, ten.
- Gosh.

Do people normally get exhausted
after three sit-ups?

You did that many?

You're like a Muscle Mania member.

Gosh.

I hate belly fat the most,
but I hate working on my abs too.

There are two kinds of exercises
in this world.

The one you hate the most
and the one you've always hated.

I should start working now.

You've been repeating yourself for a year.

Right?

Nothing goes my way. Neither work nor fat.

If I could have things my way,

I wouldn't be packing to go to work now.

Ask your boss to fix your working hours.

Why won't you fight for it?

We can't claim our rights as laborers

because we aren't laborers.

What are you then?

You're self-employed.

Self-employers are laborers too.

You work for yourselves.

You have opportunities
to earn as much as you work.

Self-employers work hard,
but it doesn't count as labor.

Do I earn as much as I work?

You get closer to your dream.
You're earning that.

Wait a minute.

Were you just

talking back to me?
It sounded like that to me.

No way.

I kept the conversation going
because I respect you.

Jin-joo.

You talk way too much.

You sometimes talk more than me.

Shut your mouth, and keep it shut.

When I was an assistant,
all I did was watch the writer's lips

so that I could copy everything.

I remembered every single thing
the writer said.

That's what made me what I am now.

I donate my blood
and try to lose weight all the time.

Hey!

I'm sorry.

Can't you please write
as much as you talk?

Why would you say unnecessary things
and ruin my morning

after my refreshing bowel movement?

It's lunchtime now.

You... Why you...

Get out. You get out now!

I'm sorry. I won't do it anymore.

I think you're strangely impressive.

What does that mean?

You're strange to keep talking
back to her.

But impressive that you stay calm
even when she yells at you.

She doesn't get intimidated.

Right. Why won't I get intimidated?

Why am I not scared of her?

I'm not exactly the fearless type.

Whatever the reason is,
if you don't get intimidated,

it makes the one that yells feel awkward.

You're making the yeller awkward
every single day.

Am I twisted or what?

Let's eat first. We need some sugar.

This is why I'm getting fat.

We'd die if we lived this way
and didn't even have body fat.

- You're right. It's so sweet.
- I like it.

Hey, you're driving today.

By "Hey," did you mean me?

You're the only one who has
a driver's license here.

Is this why I went through
all that trouble for a driver's--

You. Stop talking. Stop talking right now!

Wasn't the shoot until tomorrow?

They won't be able to finish
the day scenes today,

so some of them will have to
be filmed tomorrow.

So day scenes after an overnight shoot?

Yes. That's what the staff agreed.

What about the chicken scene?

They'll shoot it tomorrow,
so we can deliver them then.

And the chicken boxes?

I'll make sure everyone can see
"olive oil" written on them.

Okay. Don't underestimate him
just because he's a budding director.

He's known for his stubbornness.

Okay.

I'm glad the lead actress
is an idol singer.

She'll be obedient.

Right,

we have a rookie.

I'll have him follow you, so train him.
He'll go to the set tomorrow.

Okay, ma'am.

Rookie. Come to my room.

Yes, ma'am.

How about cooking?

What?

We can't do nothing like this anymore.

Cooking.

Let's try cooking.

Cooking? Like chefs?

Yes. When you look at
how food researchers work,

something simple and Korean...

It should be about a Korean chef.

Shall I try it out first?

The Eun-jeong I know can do nothing
in the kitchen

other than adding milk to cereal.

That's what makes this fun.

I'll bring this to Hyo-bong.
Do you want to try it?

I think I already know
what it tastes like.

Like a battlefield.

Looks like this kitchen is done for.

Shall we move?

How can you be so lovely
in every single way?

Does Hyo-bong get to sing as well?

No. The actress wanted to sing
the theme song herself,

so we're recording a demo version.

It's for a web drama.

What brings you here?

What is that? A lunch box bomb?

It's lunchtime.

You cooked?

- Are you all right?
- Are they for us too?

I made enough.

I can't believe this.

It is a lunch box bomb.

This is for the Japanese emperor's
birthday.

The lunch box bomb was
to take his own life.

The bomb the activist threw
was a water bottle.

- So we'll drink the water...
- Come on. Just eat it.

This looks like japchae. Is it not?

The name doesn't matter.
Shove it in your face.

Why does it taste fishy though?

Because I put fish sauce
thinking it was soy sauce.

I can tell you put a lot.

Yet she didn't throw it away
and finished it.

Driven with perseverance.

You're more fit to become a politician.
Why cook?

Hey, stop it. It's not that bad.

We can eat it, Eun-jeong.
We've done worse things.

Finish it then.

You're dead if you leave any.

Go get the jerk who just left.

Once he gets caught,
he'll eat getting beaten up.

Well, I didn't mean to cook myself.

I had to know well about it to work on it.

You're right.
You don't have to be a good cook.

Just say what's on your mind. I'm fine.

Can I, really?
They can't even tell what's tasty.

They don't even gain weight.
They are barbarians.

I'm sure I met her eyes.

She ignored me.

Did she?

How brave.

I think she looks different.

Did she lose some weight or get a jaw-job?

Maybe she thought you wouldn't
recognize her.

Who is prettier?

Of course, it's you.

You are.

Hello. Hi.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Thank you.

Welcome to this humble place.

Don't say that.

You complete the mood.

You're always dressed
in the Provence style.

Where do you buy your clothes from?

Just anywhere.

It looks like you bought them
in a little and simple store

while you were traveling southern France.

I thought they're from Dongdaemun.

No, Namdaemun.

Do you remember me?

I knew you worked here.

- Do you two know each other?
- My sister...

Are you still friends with her?

Oh, Eun-jeong just left.

I know. We said hello.

How long has it been?

- You were in high school.
- About eight or nine years.

You were so cute and funny back then.

Now, you've got cool too.

I make money and I'm still single.

Well, the demo isn't ready,

so Hyo-bong will have to sing it for you.

- Jin-joo, come on.
- Okay.

- Are you doing this on purpose?
- Yes, ma'am.

It's locked now.

Although I'm an aspiring writer

who is currently driving
for another writer,

it doesn't mean I've forgotten my identity
as a writer.

A TV station. Look.

There are so many kinds of people
that I can observe.

He must be the youngest writer
of a variety show.

No matter how busy they are,
they need the time to badmouth the boss.

The toughest job ever.
A celebrity's manager.

Keep it up until they form
a labor union for managers.

- I'm so excited.
- Same here.

Gosh, they must be here to watch
Concert 7080.

They are here so early.

I guess you realized that there is no one
better than Choi Baek-ho.

But this is the guy I'll be observing
thoroughly today.

I guess you come to work diligently.

I like the food at the cafeteria.

Let's go and eat.

Oh, Ms. Lim.

You must have put on some weight.

See?

With that nice and sincere attitude,

he's saying something
to hurt the listener.

There are seasons where I gain weight
and seasons where I lose.

So this is the gaining season, then.

See?

He's purposely mocking me
with that naive smile.

He's no ordinary jerk.

It smells nice.

It tastes even better.

And the menu is amazing.

The dietitian here does a good job.

There.

She looks even uglier today.

I'm going to go tease her.

See? That's what he's like.

Did you drink last night?
Your eyes are puffy.

Oh, it's not that your eyes are puffy.

You're just ugly.

No, she's not.

Why do you have goggles over your mouth?

Mr. Son.

I like you.

- My gosh.
- I don't like you. You're ugly.

I mean it.

You've gotten smart.

I lost.

She sounded like she meant it.

Did you notice it?

What should I do?

What's going on?

I'm sure you noticed. I meant it.

Did you? So that's what happened.

- I meant it.
- Okay. Well, I'm eating now.

It was since--

Okay. I'll stop teasing you.

I shouldn't have made fun of your face.

It's since you started making fun of me.

I couldn't stop thinking about you
and missed you all day.

I can't do anything about how I feel.

It's beyond my control.

- I like you.
- I hate meat!

- You shouldn't have gotten it then.
- You put it on my plate.

Then you shouldn't have passed me
your plate.

And I saw you eating a lot of pork belly
at the team dinner.

Why do you suddenly hate meat?

I hate it now.
Do you have a problem with that?

And why were you at my team dinner?

- Why can't I?
- Who are you then, dummy?

Why are you swearing at me?

"Dummy" is not swearing, dummy.

Why call someone who likes you

a dummy?

Why would you say that when I eat?

I said it when you scooped rice.

You did?

Then... We're in the cafeteria.

I'm sorry. Look.

Why are you being so out of order?

Let's go outside then.

Do you want me to say it
on You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook?

- What a headache.
- This is interesting.

Why would a confession
turn into a quarrel?

I bought tickets to a movie.
Come to the lobby by 7 p.m.

I'm not going.

I like you.

Stop it, already.

What kind of place is this?

Clumsiness.

I guess what makes people like
this annoying punk

could be his clumsiness.

The clumsiness of a successful man

could make him seem more down to earth.

But...

He's way too clumsy.

Well.

I'm sure you didn't invite us

so we can have the cafeteria food.

Actually, I did.

The meal tickets here are expensive.

Okay. Fine.

We enjoyed the meal.

Did you read the script?

- I'm out.
- What?

- What is going on today?
- What are you talking about?

I'm dropping out of your drama.

Nothing is predictable.

That doesn't sound like a joke.

I wouldn't make such a lame joke.

It's common to get annoyed while I work,

so let me forget how I feel
and ask you what you mean.

- Why?
- The script doesn't read nicely.

It's common to ask for amendments.

Not that I'd make amendments though.

I'm sorry, but your script...

doesn't make my heart hop.

You mean "flutter."

Well, it could hop or dance.

Your heart dances?

Has your heart ever danced?

It flaps from time to time.

- Hey!
- I'm sorry.

I know you're getting a lot of offers
from cable TV channels.

I guess you'll be moving.

I'd have done so long ago
if I'd prioritized money.

Maybe the offer
got big enough to prioritize.

It's not that big yet.

Anyway, I've already told
the people in charge.

There are plenty of
other competent directors.

And it's written
by the Great Jung Hye-jeong,

so I'm not worried.

That's cute.

Let me give you a piece of advice

as a senior in this industry.

No, I'm not listening.

I'm not listening to your advice.

You win.

He's an idiot,

but I want to be like him.

What are you doing, you punk?

I'm sorry.

Are you here to mess around?
Get ready for the next scene.

We'll start with Scene 23.

Let's get moving faster.

Sir.

Scene 23 is where they eat chicken.

- Yes.
- You said it'll be filmed tomorrow.

The actress asked to change
the schedule all of a sudden.

You know idol singers. Please cooperate.

Well, I like idol singers too.

But the actors need to eat fried chicken.

Yes, they do.

But it's 5 a.m.
How will I get chicken now?

The schedule is messed up now.

Is that even relevant?

The promise must be kept.

The agency and the writer agreed to this.

What do you want me to do though?

Shooting is important.
The chicken doesn't mean--

Chicken means a lot!
It's all about sacrifice.

Decapitated, chopped, de-feathered,

battered, and fried in 170°C oil...

Whatever. I don't even eat fried chicken.

Are you out of your mind?
You don't eat fried chicken?

Director.

It's partially our fault,
so I'll give you more time.

One hour. I can't give you more than that.

- Let's start with Scene 24.
- Yes, sir.

- We'll start with Scene 24.
- One hour? It's still early morning.

Why? Will it not be feasible?

No. Of course it's possible. Thank you.

Sir, this is an emergency.

Fry some chicken for us.

What are you talking about at this hour?

Well, the schedule has been muddled up,

so we need the fried chicken
for product placement right now.

I'm only an employee at the headquarters.

That's why I called you.

All you have to do is call
the owner of the store

that's closest to the TV station.

Stop being so ridiculous.

None of what we do ever made sense.

Please. I'm desperate.

I have an hour. No, 55 minutes.

This is just out of order.

And it's my day-off today.

- You're being too much.
- Sir.

Sir?

Oh, no...

It must be an emergency to call me
at this hour. What is it?

- Ma'am.
- What is it?

Fry some chicken for me.

Chicken?

Hello, sir.

Are you a part-timer?

Or a staff member?

- Hello, ma'am.
- What?

I'm the new recruit, Chu Jae-hun.

I came here upon the CEO's order.

I live right around here.

Why do you look so sad by the way?

I'm sorry.

This is my first proper job ever
and my first day.

And my first task was...

to smash the lock on the shutters.

I see.

Will I be going to jail
when I just joined the company?

- That's what worried me.
- I see.

Well, take the chicken out if it's cooked.

- Okay.
- Take them out.

It'll be pink if it's not fully cooked.

It's fine. We're running out of time,
so take it out.

Okay.

Then I'll fry it once again,

- so they are crispy.
- Just take them out now!

Okay.

- Two minutes--
- Take them out!

Take them out!

- To where?
- To your right.

- Right.
- Right.

I'm not eating.

- Why not, Do-yeon?
- It'll make me gain weight.

Eating it in the morning won't.

I gained weight that way.

Right. I know that.

Then spit it out once
the director says "cut."

I've prepared a red-colored big bag

so you could spit out all you want.

Are you asking me to chew fried chicken
and spit it out when I'm on a diet?

Why don't you stab me
with a knife instead?

That'd be less painful.

Well, I know how painful that must be.

That's why I feel so sorry.

But even the director agreed on this.

But I never agreed on it.

Help me just once, please.

Help me just once, please.

We went through so much to fry this.

Hey!

What are you doing to our actress?

Get out. Now!

Get out. All of you!

Do you like chicken breast?

No. Chicken breast doesn't make you fat.

I don't see that much fat on you.

It's where somewhere guys can't notice,
so don't even look for it.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to look.
No, I did mean to look.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine. Don't be like this.

Shall I get rid of the skin for you?

You lose the skin, you lose the chicken.

Oh, right.

It's tasty. We're eating in the morning,

and it's chicken breast,
so we won't get fat.

Right. You're eating well.

I like chicken, you see.

I used to be a kitchen assistant at the
famous chicken place, Wang Galbi Tongdak.

No wonder you did a good job.

What a great day.

It is.
There isn't much fine dust in the air.

- It's cold but it's still tasty.
- It is.

Japchae rice.

Did you enjoy it?

It feels like I've eaten a whole plate
of the fishiest things in my life.

You made too much.

If I put up with it for two more meals,

it'll be taken care of.

Two meals?

Things will be fine after that.

What do you mean?

Whatever it is.

Looking for something you want to do
or pulling off what you're doing.

Fine. I guess you're right.

But I think my thoughts have become blunt.

Like my belly fat.

I think you're cool though.

What about me?

You don't hesitate
when you put your mind to it.

You take responsibility for your mistakes
and ponder on it seriously.

It's a really hard thing to do.

I think you're cool too.

What?

When I want someone to say
something to me,

it's always you who says it.

Right.

In that sense, I want to make a donation.

I have too much money.

It's making me lazy.

That conclusion is too simple.

Using my money for something meaningful
seems like an investment for myself.

Fine. I respect everything you do.

But others may oppose the idea.

That's why I won't discuss it with them.

"Runs away quickly to the room."

It's easier that way.

"Whooshed to the room"?
Do you call yourself a writer?

No one reads it like that.
You have to emphasize the whooshed part.

If you do, it means
"running away quickly."

So, "Whoosh"?

Not just "Whoosh." "Whoosh!"

Fine. "Whoosh,"

I mean, "Whoosh!"

But we are writers.

And what? "Whoosh"?

You should at least
make it understandable.

"Whooshed to the room" is
completely understandable.

It's easy and fun to understand.

As for you, you used the word...
What's this, "curmudgeonly"?

Who uses "curmudgeonly" nowadays?
No one even knows what this means.

Who says I can't use the word
young people don't know?

Are you looking down on old Korean words?

A writer should not take part in
destroying the Korean language.

But this is an action description.

If this was for a book to be published,
I would've also used "curmudgeonly."

I can't even pronounce it.
I would've used words like that.

But this is simply for the staff
and the actors to understand.

You...

- Get out. Whoosh out of here.
- What?

You're fired.

No.

This is not fair.

I'm not leaving.

- Is that so? Then I'll leave.
- What?

No, wait.

I'm not leaving,
and you're not leaving either.

If you insist,

walk over me. Walk over me softly.

Softly.

It was not an impulsive decision.

The employer that walked softly over

the poor employee

had more than enough reasons to do so.

The script doesn't read nicely.

I'm not listening.

I'm not listening to your advice.

Pride.

It's the dignity that protects the strong.

And some call it "petty" and neglect it

when the weak has it.

Hye-jeong is the one with power,

and the pride of the powerful
that has been through thick and thin

turns into two types.

Flexibility and obsession.

In this case, it's obsession.

That day,

the employee saw something
that she shouldn't have.

She saw how Hye-jeong's pride
was shattered to pieces.

Is that why she was fired?

Do you think this is too harsh?

No. It had started building up
long before this happened.

JIN-JOO'S VERSION

THE TALE OF GOLD MISS, JIN-JOO

SCENE 10, INSIDE DONGHWAJANG, EVENING

The pride of the powerful
has become an obsession.

She felt inferior so easily.

And it's impossible for her
to admit that it's the reality.

To be honest, I find Jin-joo's script
easier to read.

Right? She writes freestyle.

I grew up thinking online novels
are solid literature.

- What's so wrong with it?
- It's fun.

To be really honest,
isn't it hard to follow Ms. Jung's script?

She's a little old-fashioned.

Are you going to submit your piece
to the contest? Are you ready for it?

Don't we need Ms. Jung's permission
to do so?

Why? It's an individual's project.

Actually, I wrote a little here.

Obsession

gets rid of the ability
to look at oneself objectively.

And it makes one's ability

to maximize the weakness of the weak.

You... Get out.

WHOOSH

Whoosh.

This is so tasty.

This is why you never come home too often.

It makes me think such horrible food
tastes so nice.

Mom, why did you give birth to me?

- Why were you born?
- Because you gave birth to me.

- So you were born.
- Is that so?

You should've made me a better person.

Why didn't you better prepare yourself?

What a stress-relief!

I love home.

Let's drink.

- Let's drink.
- Okay, let's.

Cheers.

Dad, don't leave any drink in your glass.

I never had any, to begin with.
I can't tolerate alcohol.

Oh, right. I forgot about that.

I'm home.

Hey, my little sister.

My sister.

What is this?

All yours, sweetheart.

Are you crazy? I'm studying for
a public exam.

No one carries this to the academy.

You should do it then.

Who says a student can't have
a designer bag?

You didn't do anything wrong!

You didn't commit embezzlement

or monopolize the state affairs.

I got it for her.

Stop eating already.
You're eating too much.

Why?

Why are you telling me to stop eating?

- You've had enough.
- Why are you yelling at me?

You didn't exactly whisper to me.

Did you think I got angry? Silly.

I'm off. I'm going to go home
and eat more.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

Breathe out.

Feel your abs tense up as you do it.

Keep repeating.

Eun-jeong.
Why do we have to work out by body part?

I absolutely hate the idea.

That's why I'm trying
to get fatter by body part.

Look at me.

This will make my butt saggy.

I can feel that it's losing the muscles.

I'll have a piece of pig trotter.

And a sip of soju.

Now,

this will give me a saggy belly.

Six-packs?

No, one-pack. I'll roll around like this

and have a piece of fried chicken.

Don't forget to drink soju
just because it's tiring.

Your life is so full of ups and downs.

Hwang In-guk.

In-guk. Wash your hands first.

Here.

What's the point of talking?

What's wrong with her
and what's wrong with you?

Never mind.

Life is full of ups and downs.

Han-ju, I got your favorite fried chicken.

Come here.

I've already had two fried chickens
as my breakfast.

This will help make your whole body firm.

Step up and breathe out.

Why must our bodies be firm?

Is that so? I'm firm enough.

My head is firm.

My elbows are firm too.

My knees are firm. Isn't that enough?

Feel that your muscles get tense
and repeat it.

But...

my heart isn't firm.

Is that not good?

Feel your muscles get tense

and use both your hands and legs.

Goodness.

You won't be able to sleep tonight.

Kids these days have it tough.

It's the adult's fault that kids
go through a lot.

But our kids

are not kids anymore.

What is it?

In the kitchen...

I saw cockroaches in the kitchen.

There are cockroaches in this apartment?

Yes. I saw them.

But that can't be.

I'll call the maintenance office
tomorrow morning.

Go and sleep for now.

I had a dream.

It was an ordinary world.

Or that's what it seemed like.

People going to work in the morning.

Students going to school.

The beginning of a busy day.

But it was a different world.

I'm sure I was in another world.

Although it seemed the same,

the sound of people breathing
and laughing,

the sunlight, breeze, air, and the sound
that touched my body.

Everything that my body felt

was different from before.

It was an ordinary morning.

And I woke up like any other day.

But what happened in this house
looked different.

They were having a barbecue.

Pork belly. Water celery.

That's right.

My friends were having a barbecue
with happy smiles.

And they told me to come.

It was a happy scene.

I took a part in it.

Everyone in the world

had barbecue in the morning
for their health.

And they enjoyed it.

At lunchtime, everyone participated
in the campaign

to eat more sodium and carbohydrate.

All kinds of jjigae that's known for
being high in sodium

made Korea proud along with hangul.

Budaejjigae was selected as

one of the top ten superfoods

and it made the world
fall in love with Korean food.

After this, the people
still needed more calories.

So at dinner, in order to
hit the calorie quota,

people gathered at bars and restaurants

in small groups to get food and drinks.

All the restaurants were crowded
all night long.

Back at home.

To support the late-night snack campaign,

the government sponsored
the cost of the late-night snack

such as pig trotter and boiled pork.

Of course, most of the citizens
diligently ordered late-night snacks.

Every parent in the world
taught their children

that to become a great person,

they had to eat
as much junk food as possible,

like pizza, hamburger, or instant noodles.

Keeping these rules without an exception.

That's what people called "morals."

There was no such thing as obesity

or any lifestyle diseases.

I was an ordinary person.

That night,

I had as much fried chicken, trotter,
and soju as much as I wanted.

That's how I was able to

stay slim and healthy.

- Touch, breathe out.
- And...

- Breathe out.
- I woke up from my dream.

What is it? Cockroaches again?

I've called the maintenance office,
so hide for now.

Yes, this is the maintenance office.

Hi, I called about the cockroaches
a while ago.

Oh, okay. We're getting ready...

No, it's okay now.

Sorry? It's okay now?

Yes, I was mistaken. It was...

some rectangular object.

Sorry? What has that got to do
with a cockroach?

- Anyway, it's fine now. I'm sorry.
- Okay.

In-guk. How long have you been in there?

Must you go this far to be late to school?

When you're in an anxious
and unstable state,

you should make yourself

more relaxed and more anxious.

It'll make you more attentive

and broaden your thoughts.

It may sound pretentious,

but relaxing like this
isn't a bad thing to do.

Or that's what I'm going to think.

That this won't bring me down.

You're spacing out too often these days.

Hey, what is going on?

What do you mean?

- I was reading a script.
- And what about it?

How many words do you see here?

What are you saying?
Why are you counting that?

I see just two words. "Not fun."

It's our job to make what's "not fun"
a fun thing to watch.

That's nothing new.

Here.

Another script.

I read this when I was a judge
of a writing contest a while ago.

How should I explain this?
It's a little surprising.

- "Surprising"?
- Yes.

It's all over the place and raw,

but it's a good read altogether.

Did this win an award?

I supported it, but the elders
didn't approve.

Hearing that makes me interested.

"Things Will Be Fine
Once You Turn Thirty."

The title is...

- vague but I like it.
- Right?

I know this name.

Well, it's a common name after all.

But "Lim" isn't a common surname.

Lim Ha-ryong, Lim Chae-moo.

Lim Chang-jung, Lim Jae-beom,
Lim Jong-seok.

The Silence of Lim.

The War of Limjin.

Okay, it's common. Anyway, give it a read.

What do you think? Did you read it?

- Yes.
- What do you think?

It's surprising.

Shall I work on it? I think it'll be fun.

No, don't. It's not that good.

You think so?
I kind of want to work on it.

That's why you never make a hit.

- Is it? Should I not do it?
- Don't do it.

You can get lost from time to time.

And the shorter it lasts the better.

Who knows? I might get a call tomorrow.

"Ms. Lim, you won the writing contest.

It'll be a 16-episode drama."

Let's write. That's what a writer does.

Let's write.

THINGS WILL BE FINE ONCE YOU TURN THIRTY

It's a gift.

What kind of a jerk is he?
He called me out of nowhere.

Hello?

I heard you got fired.

Did you call me to congratulate me?

What do you want?

Didn't you enjoy the meal
at the cafeteria here?

It was rather fun.
There were things to look at.

Then come look around again.

What was that?

I heard Beom-su rejected you.

How did you find that out?

You've been telling everybody.

It really hurts.

Yeah, I can tell.
I'm only asking out of curiosity.

- You're not interested in me, are you?
- Of course not.

Go.

There's nothing fun to watch today.
How did it go?

I talked her out of it.

You see,

I don't do love.

I heard that's what schoolkids say
these days.

Why not?

Because it doesn't exist.

- And what's wrong with her?
- It means she's annoyed.

- But she winked.
- She says I annoy her now.

I should learn from her.

Why do you hate her though?

She's ugly.

- How exactly?
- You're way prettier.

No. That makes it weirder. I'm pretty.

- I know. I said that.
- No. Say I'm ugly.

Why?

You're pretty.

Jeez!

All right, I get it. Stop it, sir.

This isn't your face, so shut it already.

How you switch so naturally
from casual to formal is amazing.

It's very catchy.

Okay. I'll be careful.

Let's stop talking about how others look
and get to work.

Work on what? I got fired.

Do you still think
I'm an assistant writer?

I'm an ordinary person now.

I'm someone who can criticize your work

on social media as much as I want.

That's who I am now.

I'm telling you to come back to this side.

Things Will Be Fine Once You Turn Thirty.

I found it interesting.

My heart...

It hopped.

Do you want to work on it with me?

At that moment,

I almost asked "Why?"
but I didn't and thought about it.

Let's not think that this is
an unexpected opportunity.

I've been preparing for this moment.

I'm getting this feeling of responsibility

because I am facing

the first official opportunity in my life.

I feel like I've become a true adult

at the age of 30.

Why are you being a baby?

All the things I said in my life.

Those unfiltered and embarrassing
expressions

came across my mind.

You're wrong. Get lost. Put it away.

I must give him the answer as the adult

the society has approved of.

The words of an adult
that is nicely refined.

How much will I get?

I know the market price,

but since you'll be working on it,
I got curious.

Is this not right?

- These two.
- What?

I like them both, and they are similar.

What are you on about?

They are both funny, sweet, and handsome.

And they look only at me. Continuously.

They keep looking at me.

I see.

I was so busy meeting their eyes.

What should I do?

Which one do you like better?

You didn't know? I guess you didn't.

They are seeing someone.

What about it? Don't be so lame.

I mean, they are seeing each other.

What are you talking about?
I can steal the guys.

- No. The two are dating.
- The two are what?

They are dating each other.

You mean the two are dating one girl?

The two are together.

What?

Everyone in this industry knows.

But then, you might not know.

The two are dating?

Yes, they've been together for a while.

Do you know what makes the city lonely?

The lights of the buildings
replace the stars.

And the people on that planet
don't know me.

You're a celebrity. Everyone knows you.

Hey, step on it.

Go faster. I'm sleepy.

I said to step on it!

All right. Hold tight.

Put your seat belt on.

I cried a lot

In the past days

I was alone and lonely

That's how I felt

Somebody said this

Life is like

An unending

And continuous journey

You may take a break when it's hard

Your feet are lost

They don't know where to go

- They try to understand
- They try to understand

- And put together the broken pieces
- And put together the broken pieces

Walk the road

Of days gone past

- Toward the beautiful place
- Toward the beautiful place

- The sunset has colored
- The sunset has colored

I don't do love.

Why not?

Because it doesn't exist.

I like you.

Let's make this work.

- What about my happiness?
- Why are you asking me

about your happiness?

Ha-yun, I like you!

Bitch.

You'll find a way

not to get poked or get hurt.

- I'm not annoyed. Help me up.
- Just stay there!

Hug me.

I'm exhausted.

Don't be ignorant
unless you're going to break up.

Don't be ignorant.

Is Hwan-dong
your unfulfilled love, Ms. Lim?

Mr. Son, do you like Jin-joo?

Filming the memories of you and Ms. Lim

would make me feel jealous, won't it?

Why do you keep making
your life miserable?

Stop staying away from your loved one.

Don't think about whether
your love will last a day or forever.

Even if your heart is ready
to last forever.

Humans are mortal beings.

Stop wasting your time.

- May I kiss you?
- Pardon?

SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM DO-YEON

Even if my steps

Are slow

I'm one of the crowd

That are walking

My only name

My heart

- Treasure it
- Treasure it

- I want you to protect it
- I want you to protect it
