Original subtitles

I guess we share a special relationship.

You and I.

Listen.

We both like Lee Sol's paintings.

Twenty-seven thousand.

Twenty-nine. Thirty thousand dollars.

Hey, mister!

That artwork you just bid for, please yield it to me.

We live in the same apartment.

Do you work here?

May I help you?

The artist I like is an acquaintance of yours.

Are we meeting an artist?

We're meeting a collector.

It's Cha Si-an of White Ocean.

What?

The jacket. We even have the same jacket, remember?

Wear this.

Although that jacket led to a problem,

this isn't a coincidence.

It must be fate.

Here you are.

-Thank you. -Sure.

What about Ms. Sung?

She went to the workshop.

They said they need to deliver some wood, but no one's at the workshop.

So?

I didn't ask her to go. Ms. Sung said she'd go herself.

She should be a part of this meeting. Why go to the workshop?

Is she not feeling well?

Ms. Sung looked troubled today.

What time is the meeting

with Mr. Cha and Ms. Choi?

It's at 2 p.m.

-Then at 1 p.m. in the parking lot-- -Actually,

I have a meeting outside prior to that one.

I'll head to her studio from there.

If Si-an can't make you smile, that means

you're actually really sick.

It was the first time I saw Ms. Sung without a smile.

She was smiling every time I saw her.

So I thought she was my fan.

-Please continue with the meeting. -What?

-Ryan. -Hey.

Is he going to see Ms. Sung?

She should've told me if she was sick.

FURNITURE WORKSHOP

Ms. Sung?

Ms. Sung.

Director Gold.

I didn't want to ask you.

I really didn't want to ask you this.

What was so hard for you?

About being in a fake relationship with me.

Did you hate it that much?

Yes.

What did you hate so much about it?

I didn't call you every day

or ask you to meet me.

All you had to do

was pretend for a short moment.

Was it that hard

and stressful for you?

I was so excited and happy.

-What was so-- -Because it was fake.

I hated it because it was fake.

I wanted to date you for real.

Hello?

Anyone here?

Is anyone here? Excuse me.

Hello?

Is no one here?

The exhibition is in two months, so we're quite tight on schedule.

What will you be exhibiting?

Here.

ARTWORK OWNED BY CHA SI-AN

Director Gold also likes this painting.

There are nine paintings in total.

I want to collect them all and exhibit them.

-Just a second. I'm sorry. -Okay.

No one's at the workshop, so I'll just have to leave.

-You must be hungry. -That wasn't me.

You're hungry even in this situation?

I just said it wasn't me.

My stomach's just digesting because I drank coffee earlier.

-Should we get something to eat? -Yes.

Wait.

What's that?

A flashlight. It's just a flashlight.

-A flashlight? -Yes.

-It's pretty. -Right?

Editor Nam.

You should've opened a bookstore, not a publishing company.

Moment magazines are right here.

I was wondering why we had a sudden increase in sales.

It must be thanks to Director Gold.

He really is just the right person for Duk-mi.

Mom, what about me?

What do you mean?

Wouldn't I be good for Duk-mi as well?

That's a horrible joke...

Eun-gi.

I'm the only guy

who knows Duk-mi

better than herself.

I went there to check the wood, though.

I feel so guilty.

Maybe we should've gone back to her studio for the meeting.

-Mr. Cha-- -What did you like about me?

Pardon?

When did you get excited and happy?

I don't know what you mean.

That's what you said earlier.

I wonder when it all began.

Was it when we took photos of our fake relationship?

Or was it

at Mr. Roh's cabin?

Or was it when you blindfolded me

-at your place? -Director Gold.

Do you want gimbap?

I'm craving gimbap because I didn't get to have any last time.

So why don't we eat gimbap?

-Gimbap? -Gimbap.

-Cheongyang chili gimbap? -Yes.

Ta-da.

By the way, it's spicy.

Haven't you cleaned your place yet?

-Are you cold? -No, I'm fine.

So I guess this is the night view of Seoul.

Isn't the night view a lot better from your place?

I'm not sure.

To be honest, I moved here because I also liked this view.

It's a penthouse.

A penthouse?

Next time you move,

you should get a place with an elevator.

Do you want one?

Why not? Try one.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You already ruined a handful of my clothes.

Didn't I

only ruin two?

Why are you so bad with chopsticks when you're Korean?

What? I'm really good at using chopsticks.

You must think you're good.

-Are you good? -I'm really good.

-You call this good? -Of course.

Did that work back when you were abroad?

-Go home safely, Editor Nam. -Eun-gi.

I'm...

sorry.

All of a sudden?

About what?

I didn't know.

I can't believe I didn't know my own son's feelings.

But then again, I never really raised you myself.

If I knew you had feelings for Duk-mi, I would've--

Mom.

I didn't know either.

I found out pretty recently.

I was stupid.

So just root for me instead of feeling sorry.

Okay?

I'll be off now.

I'll talk to Ms. Choi and Mr. Cha tomorrow and explain.

Okay, Director Gold.

-Ms. Sung. -Yes, Director Gold?

Duk-mi.

Yes, Director Gold.

We're in a relationship now, right?

We're no longer faking it. This is for real, right?

In Korea, if you don't go out with the person you kiss, you go to jail.

Of course, we're in a relationship.

It's just that you sounded really formal just now.

How about we call each other by our names?

Ryan?

Wait, that's a little...

I wonder if there's a friendly nickname you can use.

A friendly nickname? I could call you...

Lion, that jerk.

I'll just call you more comfortably from now on.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I hated it because it was fake.

I wanted to date you for real.

It'd be nice if I could have a video footage of my memory.

I want to keep replaying it.

I want to take a screenshot of it.

I'll screen capture it, photoshop it, and create a GIF.

THE ROAD TO SI-AN

Latte, that person you like might not be toying with your heart.

Maybe that person just took a step back

because she didn't know how you felt and didn't want to get hurt.

To be honest,

that's what I did.

So try mustering up your courage one more time. Good luck.

Thank you, The Road to Si-an.

-Seon-ju. -Duk-mi, look at this.

Seung-min bought me a purse.

Really? It's pretty.

He placed it in a locker as a surprise gift.

Really? That's so clever of him.

I wouldn't be with him if he weren't.

-My husband-- -I'm dating the Lion.

-What? -I told you

that he seemed to like me, too.

I want to know what happened in detail, so spill.

"I wanted to date you for real."

Gosh, you're all grown up now.

-Duk-mi. -Yes?

-Have you told Eun-gi? -No, not yet.

Then let's not tell him for the time being.

Why not?

Once he finds out, he'll tell your parents.

Are you sure you can handle that?

No, I can't. It can't happen.

I shouldn't tell Eun-gi just yet.

You shouldn't tell him, either.

Ju-hyeok, can I get and iced latte with condensed milk?

Takeout!

Have you had your coffee yet?

I got this for you.

Iced Americano with an extra shot.

How did you know my coffee order?

I asked your friend.

Well, this is for you.

This has no caffeine in it, just condensed milk and my sincerity.

How is it?

It's tasty.

You're slightly late to work.

Actually, I'm on time.

Was I the only one who missed you?

What do you mean?

Why don't I camp out here tonight then?

I'll stay up all night.

-Can I join you? -What?

I've never slept in a tent before.

Is that an American thing?

FIRST BIRTHDAY

Son, when did you get home?

I told you to leave the heavy lifting to me.

Why would I bother my son who earns money

when I have a husband who carries heavy stones every day?

I still have some muscles, you know.

-Have you eaten? -Yes.

Mom,

is my suit around?

Your suit? Are you attending a wedding?

Rather than be happy to attend someone else's,

you should think about getting married yourself. It's here.

Let me see if I had it dry-cleaned.

What's with Ms. Sung today?

I have a bad feeling about this.

A bad feeling?

Could Ms. Sung and Director Gold have made up?

No way.

No way!

Ms. Sung?

-Yes, Director Gold. -Let's begin the meeting.

Shall we?

Come on. Let's go.

See? They're together again.

Has the timer reset on the bomb then?

Where are we with Mr. Ahn's other artworks?

We need approval from the donor to get the pieces

that Ullim Art Gallery agreed to lend us, so it'll take some time.

Unfortunately, the donor is vacationing abroad.

We'll set up a meeting once the donor gets back.

Great.

Next, we'll talk about the museum merchandise.

Hyo-jin,

where are we on that?

Brace yourselves.

SI-AN

What's that?

A cheer stick for Si-an's fans.

I thought we could add

the museum's logo or its name.

It even lights up.

It kind of looks like

a flashlight, doesn't it, Ms. Sung?

Is there a flashlight that looks like this?

-Ms. Sung has-- -Hyo-jin,

I don't think museum and exhibition merchandise

should be like K-pop merchandise.

Then

how about a cushion with Si-an's photo printed on it?

Or we can make soap.

Ta-da! Here's a key chain.

Don't you like them?

Seriously?

Are there any more options?

"My Own Mini Art Gallery."

We'll make miniature-sized copies of the artwork.

With them, you can set up your own mini gallery.

IT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND!

I like it.

Really?

We could start with the special exhibition

and apply it to the ones in the future.

See? I told you merchandising was my specialty.

-Ms. Yu. -Yes?

Please manage our intern so that her enthusiasm

and confidence never go over the line.

Sure thing.

That'll be all, then.

What is it?

Ms. Sung,

are you back with Director Gold?

Not exactly. Truth be told, it's our first...

You'll start dating again like it's your first time?

Yes, I'm sure his words might seem sweet.

Just so you know though, people can't be fixed.

I'll just get it fixed.

A study shows

that reconnected couples break up for the same reason.

The bottom line is that Director Gold is a filthy, busted car.

A filthy, busted car.

You're too enamored by his good looks

to smell how filthy it is.

Gosh, that smells good.

Men who get by on good looks never change their ways.

There are men like me who choose not to act that way.

Exactly.

Ms. Yu, Yu-seop, remember this.

You can badmouth me all you want, but my Lion...

I won't let you speak ill of Director Gold.

I know you're worried about me,

but you're wrong about who he is.

-Ms. Sung! -I'm not kidding,

so say no more.

Ms. Sung, is Ryan inside?

If you're here for a meeting, I can get you a beverage.

Actually, I'm here for a private conversation.

Are you all right?

Yes, of course.

I'm really sorry

about yesterday.

I didn't check the meeting or the wood properly.

This will never happen again.

What about Ms. Sung?

Did you make up with her?

We never fought in the first place.

I guess you ended the fake relationship.

Yes.

What did you think of Mr. Cha?

I like him.

He's more sincere than I thought.

I like his music, too. I'm looking forward to it.

-I'm glad to hear that. -But I found something strange.

The painting Mr. Cha wants to exhibit.

Isn't it that painting?

The one you bought at the gallery in New York.

You have a good memory.

The reason Mr. Cha must participate in the exhibition,

and the reason you asked me desperately for the first time.

Is it because of this painting?

Who is Lee Sol?

I feel grateful for this.

Good luck on the special exhibition with Mr. Cha.

What a hard way to say "Don't ask." You're making me uncomfortable.

Ms. Choi.

I look forward to your collaboration with Mr. Cha.

Okay. I'll look forward to seeing

how long your relationship with Ms. Sung will last.

Are you cursing me?

I said I'm looking forward to it.

But...

How can you not even ask?

About how I remember something about you

from three years ago.

Aren't you curious?

-Da-in, I-- -See you.

I'm not going to apologize

since it wasn't a lie.

Ryan wanted to end the fake relationship.

Because

he wanted to date for real.

Distorting the truth is also a lie, Ms. Choi.

You must've believed my words

more than Ryan's feelings for you.

-Seon-ju. -Yes?

Who would you choose between me and Lion?

What's wrong with you?

Are you taking after Ju-hyeok?

Eun-gi, I don't break cups these days.

I'm proud of you.

Move. I'll clean that up.

-I feel a bit dizzy lately. -Move.

She's lucky she was born rich.

Welcome.

Can I order?

Yes. Welcome.

That pathetic guy?

-How could you be so rude? -Do you know how...

Do you know how humiliated I was because of you?

What did I say?

You said Ryan and Ms. Sung were in a fake relationship.

And?

-You must not have heard. -Eun-gi.

Geon-u.

It's time for him to go to the Judo studio.

You're unusually obsessed with being punctual today.

I'm a director of a Judo studio. I'm not pathetic.

When you have a foul personality, working out is the answer. Okay?

Geon-u, it's time to go to the Judo studio.

Yes, Mr. Nam!

May I take your order?

I'd like an Americano.

But...

Who are you?

Sorry?

Geon-u, attention!

Like a real man.

March forward.

One, two.

One, two, three. There you go.

Mr. Nam, what is that?

That?

It's my uniform.

That's not your uniform.

It's a suit.

That will be my uniform for today.

I have a really important match today.

Let's go.

THIS IS ANNOYING THIS IS ANNOYING

I'm sorry.

Is that woman

Si-an's visual director?

Oh, do you mean Ms. Choi?

Yes. She'll be directing Mr. Cha's new album and the exhibition.

This is annoying.

SHE'S COMPETENT AND EVEN PRETTY

Why? Does she bother you?

Of course she does.

My Si-an is with a pretty woman.

She is competent. Why does she have to be pretty, too?

If it were up to me, I'd split them up immediately.

Split who up?

-Choi-- -Choi Da-in.

Director Gold, are you going home?

Am I the only one going home?

Ms. Yu.

Yu-seop, Hyo-jin.

Is there work that you must finish today?

About Mr. Ahn's work...

The insurance...

I can just do it tomorrow.

There's no need to do it today.

Then shall we all call it a day?

Good job today, everyone.

Good job.

What? Do I look too pretty?

I was thinking about what to eat today.

I'm not hungry.

-I doubt that. -I mean it.

We're going on a drive today.

That sounds good. Where to?

I'll take you to my car. Follow me.

You have such a nice and big car.

It's a convertible. Get in.

Here.

-It's okay. -Why?

Do you know how hard it is to write a tour guide speech?

Think of it as a courtesy to the writer, and listen to it.

I'm not listening to this.

Why?

Come to think of it, you grew up and lived in this city.

You're a local who's really familiar with this place.

Why would I have to listen to this?

You should do it instead.

Me?

Okay, then.

-What is that? -A building?

Part two of Sung Duk-mi's Seoul Night View Tour.

What was part one?

I already did it. Sung Duk-mi's Penthouse.

I wanted to show you the night view of Seoul,

but as you know, I don't have a driver's license.

I like the night view. It's beautiful.

I know, right?

And the woman sitting next to me

has no driver's license.

Why didn't you get a license?

-Because I was scared. -Scared?

Did you give up after failing the driving test several times?

Do you want to ride a car that I drive?

I'll go register for the test right now, then.

No?

I'll drive.

Be careful. It's hot.

Aren't you going to go home?

My mom's helping me out.

She offered to babysit Geon-u, so I'm going to take my time.

Good luck.

Thanks.

WHITE OCEAN, CHA SI-AN'S FANPAGE

THE ROAD TO SI-AN

THE ROAD TO SI-AN CHAT ROOM

-There it is! -It's airing!

The Chaser K.

But what's wrong with the title?

Hey, wait. The Twisted Love of Fanatics?

That wasn't the original title.

I'm pretty sure it was Super Fangirl of the 21st Century.

The title sounds like it's criticizing fangirls.

What was the name of the producer again?

-It was Kang Min or something. -Kang Min or something?

You remember his face, right?

-Yes, of course. -Wait.

I think we totally got fooled.

-You're right. -Seriously?

-What the... -That jerk fooled us.

What's this?

So what's the story?

It's just a story on those trying very hard in life.

I thought you had a story to cover.

Yes, it happened to be just around the corner.

COPYING WHITE OCEAN FOLDER

Duk-mi, are you okay now?

I heard about how you were harassed by Cha Si-an's fans.

GEON-U'S MOM

Seung-min.

Hey, honey.

Where are you right now?

Honey.

Let's just think about Geon-u.

Wherever you are right now,

there will be a river nearby.

A river?

The river you'll soon be crossing.

But I don't want to cross a river.

Seung-min.

Get over here right now.

Right now!

My gosh.

Seon-ju, calm down and hear me out first.

They promised to transfer me to a variety show if I did this.

So I had no choice but to do it.

You also wanted me to work on variety shows.

I told you to work on variety shows, not sell out your own wife.

What are you talking about? I didn't sell you out.

-Ju-hyeok. -Yes?

-Lock the doors. -Seon-ju.

Ms. Lee.

I'm going to become a widow today.

Get over here!

-Stop her! -Get out of my way!

Get over here!

Gosh, no.

Just take this bag back and leave!

Seon-ju, I'm sorry.

It must've been quite windy.

-You have an eyelash here. -What?

Right there. It's a little to the side.

-Right next to your eye. -Here?

Yes.

No, not there. I'll do it for you.

Don't do that.

Okay, I'll stop.

Let's go on a river cruise next time.

Sure, let's do everything we can in Seoul.

Just a second.

Duk-mi, did you get off work?

When are you planning to come home?

Who is it?

It's Eun-gi. He wants to know if I got off work.

You and Mr. Nam

must be really close.

Close?

Why are you laughing?

I never really thought of our relationship that way.

You're that close?

Do you remember Editor Nam, the woman who interviewed you?

She's Eun-gi's mother.

She and my mom first met at an OB-GYN clinic.

But Editor Nam had something personal going on,

so my mom started raising me and Eun-gi like twins.

He's like family to me.

Do you think Mr. Nam

also thinks that way?

He might think differently.

He might have feelings for you.

A lot of people told me that ever since we were students.

We went to a co-ed school.

Every time anyone said that, Eun-gi and I got into a huge fight.

But we're really like siblings.

No, more like brothers.

Or maybe sisters.

He might feel differently from how he did when he was young.

There are times when people take a while to realize their feelings.

Director Gold.

By any chance, are you doubting my relationship with Eun-gi?

I don't doubt you.

I'm saying that he's always next to you, so you might not know.

What about you?

I'm talking about Ms. Choi. You two are really close.

When it comes to Da-in,

I can't say we're close, but I do like her.

What?

I like her competence as an artist,

and I like her works.

And Da-in trusts me as a director

and an artist.

Do you think Ms. Choi feels the same way?

That might not be the case.

Duk-mi.

As you already know,

my lifetime goal was to win a gold medal in the Olympics.

But now, my goal

is you.

I want to buy you delicious stuff,

make you laugh, make you happy,

protect you, and take you home every day.

I may have retired as an Olympic silver medalist,

but I won't ever retire when it comes to fighting for you.

I like you, Duk-mi.

I can do this.

Go home safely.

Director Gold?

You know I don't like letting go of someone's hand.

Why don't you just take me inside as well?

How about just my hand, then?

Just your hand?

You're saying something really scary with a smile.

Goodnight, then.

Goodnight.

Ms. Sung.

What...

Hold still.

What's this?

I was going to give it to you that night,

but you dumped me.

Your actions upset me quite a lot.

Did I mention that?

I didn't dump you.

You know that.

It's pretty.

FIRST DATE WITH LION

Duk-mi.

Duk-mi!

Gosh, Eun-gi.

I like you.

I like you, Duk-mi.

I...

I'm sorry. I read your text but didn't reply.

I prepared these for you, so please take what you need.

Here you go.

Are you mad?

Then what's with that face? Smile, you jerk.

-Smile! Right now! -I'm not angry.

Right?

But what's with the suit?

-Duk-mi. -Yes?

When we were born,

if my mom hadn't tried to abandon me at the hospital...

You knew? Since when?

When I joined the national team.

Editor Nam got drunk and spilled everything.

I thought she only did that with me.

Anyway, I doubt she really meant it.

That's why Mom was able to catch her.

If Editor Nam were serious about running away,

she wouldn't have blindly trusted a stranger.

I'm sure she was just terrified.

I understand since she was younger than we are now.

Editor Nam told me

to be good.

I should be good to your mom, your dad, and you, too.

You're my family.

Of course we are.

-But Duk-mi. -Yes?

I...

You see...

-I'd like to-- -Seon-ju?

-Seon-ju? -What are you doing here so late?

Something happened, didn't it?

-Duk-mi. -Yes?

I'm going back.

-To where? -To being single again.

EX-HUSBAND

Seon-ju.

The show was going to be made one way or another.

Isn't it better for it to have been directed by him...

Forget I said anything. Drink up.

-Duk-mi. -Yes?

Don't you ever get married.

No, don't even bother dating.

Just stay single.

You're never any help, are you?

Jerk.

MR. KANG

If it's Seung-min, don't answer.

-He'll be worried, so-- -I'll kill myself if you do.

I'll kill myself!

-I'm leaving. -No, wait.

Stay here.

Don't answer him.

Let's turn off all our phones.

I can't believe that jerk!

Let him worry about you all night.

How's that?

Seon-ju, drink up. I'm just as upset, too.

-Let's get wasted. -Sure thing.

We have lots of time to drink.

You wench.

I can't get it out of my head.

SUNG DUK-MI

What?

Why?

It's seven o'clock.

It's the perfect time to go see my girlfriend.

-Mr. Kim. -Where are you going today?

-Sangam-dong. -Why don't you go to work a bit late?

You should get some rest on closing days.

Mr. Kim, did you already forget?

My real job is fangirling.

-Here. -I'll see you later.

Oh, my. Director Eom.

Hey!

Mom.

Duk-mi, where are you going?

How could you get drunk like that, too?

It's been a long time since I drank.

-Where are you going? -Me?

To shoot pictures of Si-an on his way to work.

Gosh, you're unbelievable.

You like fangirling more than breakfast?

This is my breakfast.

Goodness. Will this be enough?

The camera is heavy, too.

This will be enough. I'm full.

Wake Seon-ju up before you go. See you.

Wait for me.

Do you want to continue fangirling after what happened to Seon-ju?

At times like this, I have to continue fangirling consistently

so Seon-ju forgives her husband.

How logical.

You must've studied hard when you were a kid.

Don't you remember? I solved all your questions for you.

-You did. -Let's go.

Hey. Did something really happen yesterday?

-What's wrong? -It's Lion.

Ms. Sung.

Director Gold.

Did you come without even making plans?

Today is...

Come back next time.

I want to speak with Duk-mi.

Duk-mi

didn't wash her face.

I don't think she feels comfortable seeing you right now.

I said I want to speak with Duk-mi.

Duk-mi says she doesn't want to speak with you.

Duk-mi

is my girlfriend.

So this is between her and me.

It's none of your business.

Why isn't it my business?

She's the woman I like.

Duk-mi doesn't want herself to be seen right now.

By you, Director Gold.

If you really care for Duk-mi,

please leave for now.

Come out, Ms. Sung.

It's okay.

The Road to Si-an.

Why did you bring me to your place to fight?

Is it a home game or what?

Ryan? Ms. Sung?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because she doesn't know how you feel about her.

Did Mr. Nam sleep at your place last night?

-And as for Eun-gi-- -He likes you.

Right now, you're not family nor a friend to me. You're a woman.

No matter how long it takes, I can wait.

Teach me too.

So I want to be your fanboy too.
