Original subtitles

My vision this time

was of her running toward me.

She runs toward me

and jumps into my arms.

I thought to myself

that if I don't hug her back...

I might be able to cut her out of my life.

But whatever I do to get away from her,

in the end,

I feel like I'll never be able to do so.

It feels like she keeps opening me up.

As if she's telling me to stop being sad...

and be happy with her.

Are you out of your mind?

Hey.

What?

Your bra pad.

You dropped it.

Look.

I don't believe this.

It's so humiliating.

I said, stop laughing!

This is the first time I heard you laugh.

EPISODE 5

Gosh!

Get in. I'll take you to the station.

Buy me dinner.

You laughed thanks to me.

Take me to a really nice restaurant. I made you laugh very hard.

It's not often that you see a woman drop her bra pad.

Make sure you buy me dinner.

Stop laughing.

You said you don't laugh a lot.

Stop thinking about it.

THIS SEASON'S TABLE BRAND RANKING

The sales gap between the number one brand and ours is significant.

Yes, so the directors were not too sure if they should create this team or not.

Many said we should just work on maintaining the second position,

but Director Park pushed for this.

She's like that.

But don't you think it's overly positive to go for the top position?

Have you ever felt

like it's time for you to give up

and stop pushing forward?

Out of the blue,

you get a sign telling you to keep going.

You're Oh Hae-young, right?

Thank you for recognizing my voice right away.

This is why you shouldn't be good to another person.

How can you treat me like this

until the end?

The only person that wronged me enough to have trouble speaking to me

is you.

-You know that? -I miss you.

Are you crazy?

When I thought I should call it a day

and give up there and then...

Oh Hae-young!

Good luck!

When I least expected,

I was given the strength to go on by a stranger.

I felt like the whole universe

was encouraging me to go on.

DO-KYEONG

This phone is switched off. Please leave a message after...

Hello. Is this Movie Sound?

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

Something tasty. Something expensive.

Why are you ignoring my texts? Buy me dinner today.

I want something greasy. Steak.

7 P.M. AT STEAK HOUSE, OH HAE-YOUNG. SHE'LL WAIT UNTIL YOU SHOW UP

I don't think I'll make it by 7 p.m.

Let's meet at 7:30 p.m.

WHERE

Where do we meet?

You wanted to go to Steak House in Cheongdam-dong.

Gosh. That's a really fancy restaurant.

How generous.

See you tomorrow.

-Goodbye. -Bye!

We really seem to have ties.

Are you meeting somebody?

-Yes. -Who? Your boyfriend?

Just a guy.

Oh, so you're dating someone?

Well...

I'm jealous.

That's the best part, when you get all excited.

What's he like? I'm curious.

He must be a really nice person

because you're nice too.

-Who are you meeting? -A guy, like you.

He's not here yet.

I think I've been stood up.

If so, I'll just gatecrash his house. I know where he lives.

You're still confident.

Really?

Was I confident?

It feels nice

hearing that.

Thank you.

-Enjoy your meal. -Okay.

Here.

Do-kyeong.

SOMETHING TASTY, SOMETHING EXPENSIVE

7 P.M. AT STEAK HOUSE, OH HAE-YOUNG. SHE'LL WAIT UNTIL YOU SHOW UP

Let's go somewhere else.

You're not the type to wine and dine at places like this, right? Let's go.

Do-kyeong.

Is Do-kyeong the guy you're dating?

This is a very awkward situation.

I left him a note asking to meet me here,

but he must have thought it was you.

Our names are still confusing things.

How do you know each other?

Well...

Let's go.

I'm sorry. I apologize.

You can swear at me if you want. Hit me if you want. Please.

Did you think I was still at your beck and call?

Get it straight! I came to see her, not you.

I should have known. The choice of the restaurant seemed off.

Enjoy your steak. Alone.

I missed you.

I mean it.

A lot.

Every single day.

How can that be nothing?

It feels like the world

handed you a death sentence.

To feel like you've been kicked out of the universe.

To feel like you have to beg

to stay in the universe that kicked you out.

How's that nothing?

I was stood up on the day of my wedding.

So, it was her?

This is so messed up.

I knew something wasn't right.

The way you looked at me.

I get it now.

A woman with the same name as the woman

you loved so much, but shattered your heart into pieces.

It would have been awkward for you.

When I talked about Hae-young, why didn't you say anything?

Why did you not say anything?

Why didn't you tell me that the evil bitch

who stood you up at the altar was Oh Hae-young?

Why should I mention such a thing?

Why did you make a fool of me?

There I was, going on and on like a fool.

Was it fun for you?

Whenever I talked about my miserable life throughout high school,

being compared to the pretty Oh Hae-young,

was it fun for you?

I bet it was.

I bet it was a good reminder that the love of your life was an amazing woman.

Was it fun?

Are you being serious?

-Then why didn't you say anything? -For goodness' sake!

And what was that, at the restaurant?

-What? -You grabbed my wrist.

Am I a prop for your love story?

Is my wrist

a prop for you to use to make that bitch jealous?

Do you want me to tell her that we slept together?

Do you want me to tell her that we are deeply in love?

Do you want me to make her so jealous that she aches for you?

I'm sorry I grabbed your wrist.

I beg for your forgiveness!

Don't even think about using me like that again.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

It's really pathetic!

Why aren't you coming home?

Are you protesting that you're angry?

What for?

Come home.

Sleep at home.

Hey!

Seriously.

My goodness!

You're so annoying.

Wait a second.

You'll get the chills.

You should sleep warm.

You're alive.

Come and eat.

It wasn't that you don't drink, you're just a poor drinker.

When you have a hangover, throw everything up, sleep warm,

and then eat something hot. Once you sweat it out, you'll feel better.

Take it as wisdom gained from years of training.

Eat up.

Male colleagues that never knew I existed

suddenly want to hang out with me and go for drinks,

once they found out that I was the pretty Oh Hae-young's friend.

They're trying to get to her through me.

I'm not Cupid.

It must have been great,

dating a girl every guy dreams about.

Why are you giving me those eyes? How dare you?

You didn't have to shout at her like that.

You should've pretended you're living the life.

Smashing your car window like that, it's such a waste.

You're not quick-witted at all.

You lost.

That's enough.

Fine, I'll stop.

Eat.

Don't you want her to think that you're happy?

I can help you.

It was too sudden yesterday.

Let's put up an act to look like you're happy without her.

I'll make sure to act my heart out in front of her.

I even told her that we're kind of

seeing each other.

I was never a match for her.

It's kind of exciting

to think that she could be jealous of me.

We have a company dinner today.

Pick me up when we're finished.

You know that she works at my office, right?

I can't wait to see the look on her face

when she sees you coming to pick me up.

I can't wait.

It's going to be so fun. Please come.

I'll act so well that she goes insane.

-Forget it. -You don't have to do anything.

Actually, it's better if you don't. Your acting is horrible.

I said, forget it. Why would I bother doing such a thing? Don't.

You'll take your revenge and I'll take my first win.

-Two birds with one stone. -Why do I have to care about

what she thinks and put up an act?

It makes me more pathetic.

That makes me look more clingy.

If we really want to take revenge and win against her,

we should just forget about her and get on with our lives.

Why do we need to act? It's unnecessary.

-Wouldn't it be fun? -No.

-I think it will be fun. -Don't do it.

Fine.

Give me a call if you change your mind. I'm up for it, whenever.

Bring me the bowl when you're done.

Hello.

Oh, my head.

You're not his wife, are you?

Are you off to work?

Who is she?

Who are you?

Gosh, wait!

Hurry. Damn it!

Is she really your wife?

Are you married?

That woman is scarier than a wife.

By the way, where did we meet?

You don't look like the girl I picked up at the bar.

We met at a nightclub, remember?

I went to a nightclub?

Run away. Hurry!

-Go. -Jin-sang!

Hurry, hurry.

Come on! Move!

Where's the car?

-Where did I park my car? -Hey.

Oh, no!

Come here!

-Wait for me! -Hurry up!

We'll die if she catches us.

I'm sorry, Soo-kyeong!

-I'm sorry! -Come over here!

Stop chasing us!

Mommy!

How dare you bring a girl to my sacred home?

Tae kwon do.

Who is that?

Hey, help me!

Soo-kyeong will kill me one day if I stay there any longer.

I'd rather be killed by terrorists in my own home.

Did you see that?

She meant to kill me. That bat would have killed me.

It's your fault for bringing a girl home.

Do you think I know...

what I'm doing?

-What's the occasion? -Nothing that concerns you.

I see.

Wait!

Wait for me!

Good morning.

If you press both buttons, the door stays open.

-Thank you. -Good morning.

Thanks.

I heard that you two went to the same high school.

Yes, we did.

You don't look too close, though.

No, we are close.

I don't believe that.

It's hard to be close to someone with the same name.

That's why I don't like Jung Woo-sung that much.

We're both named Jung Woo-sung, but he's famous, so it feels like he stole my name.

Don't you agree?

You two are both Oh Hae-young,

wearing the same scarf, but they don't look the same.

You two are very different.

Don't you agree?

-I'll see you later. -All right.

Did you get home safely last night?

Yes.

Was Do-kyeong very angry?

-A little. -I did something bad.

I know.

Did he tell you about it?

Yes.

I heard you didn't show up for your wedding.

He doesn't know the whole story behind my actions that day.

Why did you not go?

Anyway, how did you meet each other?

By chance, on the street. We became closer because we live close by.

How long has it been?

It hasn't been that long.

To be honest with you,

I didn't think the two of you were serious.

How would he date Oh Hae-young again?

Someone with my name.

This means I don't have to be too sorry, right?

Actually, I was so glad

when he shouted at me.

I realized I still meant something to him.

Manager Oh.

A minute, please.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Cut.

The character's angry, but the sound of the tin is too nimble.

Kick a bigger one!

Okay, next!

Do-kyeong, can you spare me a minute?

-I should be the one to thank you. -I have a good feeling about this one.

Oh, say hello.

This is Director Park In-chan.

He signed a contract with me.

Nice to see you.

Director Ahn told me a lot about you.

He says that you are a very good sound designer.

Would you mind if I worked here with you?

Of course you can.

It's his mother's film,

so he will be in charge of the sounds.

-Right? -I hope it does really well this time.

Don't try too hard to make art.

Do-kyeong!

From what I hear, you're the one who produces a lot of art.

Am I mistaken?

You're right, he does.

Not you, Director Park. No way.

You must be out of your mind. Did you stay up again?

Let's go. He'll be different after a nap.

Make sure you have a good sleep and come back to see Director Park again tomorrow.

Okay?

When did the word "art" become a criticism in this industry?

Bye.

I was wondering where Mom got the money for this director.

She used you again, right?

For goodness' sake.

Gosh, Ms. Heo is...

We didn't form a task force team

because the company's brand was in trouble.

As you all know, among our 12 brands,

these three brands are doing pretty well.

But the sales, which should be soaring like this,

are not. It's stagnant.

There's no use trying to solve this on our own,

because you don't get something good out of bad.

At times like this, the best thing to do

is to scout someone competent to fix our problem

-because we-- -You're rambling.

We're here to introduce Manager Oh Hae-young.

I was just coming to that.

So we have brought brilliant, competent, and pretty,

Manager Oh Hae-young.

Wait. Ms. Oh,

I heard that you and Manager Oh went to the same high school.

You also have the same names. What a coincidence.

Even though you two are friends,

remember that Manager Oh is your superior, so be polite.

Do you understand, Ms. Oh?

I was just about to introduce her.

Hello, everyone.

-I know I'm not welcome here. -Not at all!

I know you think I'm here to boss you around.

Maybe I will.

But no matter how much you hate me,

I will love you to the end.

-We love you, Oh Hae-young! -We love you, Oh Hae-young!

-Oh Hae-young! -Okay.

-Fill your glasses, everyone. -Okay!

-Bottoms up, everyone. -Okay!

For Foodville, cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Like her, like her!

Love!

Good!

Hae-young, please take off your scarf.

It really puts you in a bad light.

Take it off, please.

If I take this off, I lose.

If I don't, it's humiliating.

Just lose. Please!

No. I won't. I'd rather humiliate myself.

Just take it off. You look like you're from North Korea.

Unbelievable.

-Take this. You'll be cold. -Thank you.

She's so pretty.

When I see Hae-young,

the washing machine at her house comes to mind.

There was a washing machine in her front yard,

and it was so old that whenever it was spinning, it went,

thump, thump.

Thump, thump.

It trembled its way out of the house.

Then her mother said,

"Hey, that washing machine is running away again,

-go grab it!" -"Go grab it!"

Yes, my family was poor.

We used an old washing machine.

Did you live in the same neighborhood?

Yes. Hae-young's mother is really funny.

Does she still act like that when she gets angry?

What does she do?

Tell us.

Wasn't I supposed to say that?

Please, tell us.

She strips.

Completely?

Except for her underwear.

One day, a boy scratched Hae-young's face and her mother was mad.

She was running to the teacher's room, stripping.

It's still a legend at our school.

We should be nice to Ms. Oh.

Fine, my mother was graceless.

Hey.

Why are you eating the decoration?

Isn't she so cute?

You're so cute. So cute.

And I'm a pushover.

So cute.

Go ahead. Eat this.

I'll take this one.

You're so good!

Cheers!

Hey, Hae-young.

Have you been seeing anyone recently?

You saw him yesterday.

Did you mention that you were seeing him?

I thought you just went on a date with him.

Until we confess our love or mention marriage,

don't we all put it that way?

Until marriage is promised,

I just consider them flings.

Did you sleep with him?

Yes.

Gosh. You're so bad at lying.

You haven't changed a bit.

How are you still so naive?

You're like an adorable nine-year-old boy.

You're so cute. This is why I like you so much.

Hae-young, I like you so much.

Manager Oh, you must sing for us.

-He's right. -Give it a shot!

-Sing us a song! -Come on!

-Sing us a song! -Sing us a song!

Manager Oh sings well too.

Are the lyrics correct?

Nice!

Great!

Great!

SHE IS SO PRETTY WITH HER SHORT HAIR

Go, Hae-young!

Why is she singing such a noisy song?

-Go, Hae-young! -Let's take shots in waves.

-Let's do it! -Wave shots!

-A shot for me, please. -Let's go!

-Hurry and take a seat. -Shots, please.

-Give it to me. -It's your turn.

-Manager Oh poured me one. -Let's just join them.

Let me just sing one more.

YOU UNDERESTIMATED ME, DIDN'T YOU?

I'll be right back.

You can't leave!

-Manager Oh. -It won't take long.

-Come on. -Wait for me.

Soo-kyeong.

You're not drinking?

Please take a shot with me, Soo-kyeong.

Do you want to get slapped?

Don't overreact.

Okay.

Come back here, Hae-young.

Stop singing.

Stop it!

Hey, Hae-young!

I don't know what that is around your neck,

but please take it off.

All you ugly girls should move.

Next to our pretty Manager Oh,

you look so bad. Take it off!

Then, I'll take it off!

Don't!

Don't take it off.

You're who you are,

and I'm my own person!

I understand that she's your friend,

but there is a hierarchy in the workplace.

How could you shout at her

and say such nonsense?

What kind of manners are those?

I warned you to watch your manners.

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

Do you have any idea

how hard the company tried

to hire Manager Oh?

Do you? My goodness!

I asked you a question.

I can't believe this.

You and you, and me and me,

it's possible.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Let's accept every offer from now on.

We shouldn't care about the quality of their work.

It's you who made a fuss about it, not us.

Is it because of the budget?

To be honest, we don't want to work

under picky directors who slave us

just because of the quality.

I'm not dreaming of an ideal life.

Even if you work hard on larger projects,

your mother will just take all the earnings.

Let's just inconspicuously work on smaller projects.

If your mother asks for money, just tell her you have none.

Everything should be fine for us as long as we get our salaries.

But whenever we witness what she does to you,

it's extremely frustrating

-from our perspective. -He's right.

Let's stop fussing over quality and accept everything.

We'll take adult films

and even movies for children. Let's take it easy.

Who cares about cinematic value?

I like adult films. I can be very good at that.

Hey, that's my specialty.

I used to work on adult films once a week.

Do that again.

-You're good. -Doesn't that sound good?

The best method to reproduce lovemaking sound effects

is to use a small towel.

Soak it lightly and scrub it.

Okay, I'll do that.

This is great.

Okay.

Excuse me, can you turn up the music a little, please?

It sounds great, so I'd like to record it.

Sure.

He's a workaholic.

Hey, gather around.

Tomorrow is another day.

You're dismissed!

Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Even when I look here... -Take care.

-And even when I look there, I can't tell -Goodnight.

-Bye. -Goodnight, Director Park.

Director Choe, that bastard.

-Let's go for another round. -Come on.

Come with me.

Forget about it.

You know what Director Choe is like.

I'm going home.

Okay.

Hae-young.

I'm sorry, I have to go. Someone came to pick me up.

Honey!

Turn. Turn around.

Hurry. Please.

-Isn't that too much? -That's crazy.

Turn the other way.

Just once. Please.

Please.

Put your arm around me. Hurry.

Do you know her?

Hurry.

Smile. Smile big.

Act more affectionate.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Let's go toward Hae-young. Come on.

Let's go back.

-What's wrong? -Just walk.

No.

I better go too. I'm a bit drunk.

-Take care. -Let's get one more drink.

Well, I'll see you at work tomorrow.

Yes!

Did you see her face? She was so stunned.

She was being so rude to me throughout the dinner.

Gosh, that felt good.

I'm so happy.

Goodness.

You acted like you wouldn't come. What happened?

Do you think I went there for that?

I was on my way out of our team dinner.

I didn't even know where you were having dinner.

-Then you... -I didn't know anything.

I told you I wouldn't go.

I'm sorry.

I just saw you standing outside.

I told you not to do such things.

Are you a child? What's the point of doing that?

Your acting was so obvious.

It wasn't obvious. It looked real.

Whatever. Don't do that again.

Do you

still have feelings for her?

-Hey. -What I mean is...

It could be for the better if you still do.

She'll be super jealous.

We just added fuel to the fire. That's all.

I won't repeat myself.

Don't mention her ever again.

Hey.

Who was that girl? Do you know her?

What do you think? Would I do that with a stranger?

Why are you yelling at me?

Bye.

Get in.

-I'm sorry. -Forget it. That's enough.

Go inside.

Are you not coming home again because you're upset?

I'm busy. I have to work.

When I suggested to put up an act,

it was bait.

I wanted to get close to him somehow,

even if it meant that I had to pretend I was acting.

I wanted to be close to him.

It's shocking enough that Do-kyeong and Hae-young dated,

but it's more shocking to find out that you like him.

When did you start liking him?

How can you pinpoint a time that you started liking someone?

I'm sure there must have been a starting point.

Why are you crying?

Did someone hit you?

Just live on somehow.

Even if you're bleeding, live.

That's the only way to win.

Are you broadcasting that you live alone?

He had change.

You look pretty when you eat.

I said, you look okay when you eat.

Would I have liked someone else

if they did the same thing as him?

I don't think so.

I must have liked him from the start.

From the very beginning.

A fish in freshwater and a fish in a pond will never meet.

Pretty Oh Hae-young lived in freshwater, met guys in her league.

And I met guys that belonged to the pond in which I was living.

Don't, my mom's right outside.

You must be crazy.

-It's okay. -No, I'm not doing...

My ex-fiancé, Tae-jin, was the only man I dated

that didn't belong in my pond.

Let's not get married.

I can't stand

to watch you eat.

Did he end up looking for someone in his league, too?

The moment I found out that Hae-young was the one Do-kyeong loved,

I realized that he also was out of my league.

It's a league I'll never be able to enter.

I promised myself that I wouldn't calculate or second-guess.

And that I'll love the next person until he throws me out, but...

How long are you going to block the way here?

Are you scared I might throw myself at you?

There's one good thing about having feelings for the guy next door.

He makes me want to come home early.

I'd never wanted to come home until I got wasted.

Can't you come home early for me?

I don't expect you to love me back.

I'm so bored. That's all!

It's not even dusk. What am I going to do?

Seriously...

Have you ever seen your fiancée

in your black and white visions of your future?

No.

Not even once.

What about anyone else?

No.

It's just the girl next door.

I'm not sure how this will sound to you.

It's a quote from Einstein.

"The distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion."

In a person's DNA or in their soul,

one's life and memory are already recorded.

It means that a strong memory within yourself

could come out without the distinction of time.

What's the strongest image you get

when you think of the woman next door?

Your strongest memory.

It breaks my heart.

She's like a bird whose wings were broken

by a rock I threw,

but who foolishly flew into my arms.

I want her to get better soon

and to fly away.

I want to do everything I can to help her heal

and to help her fly away.

And what?

I'm afraid

I might end up falling for her.

Why aren't you coming home?

Are you protesting that you're angry?

What for?

Come home.

Are you okay?

Hey, wait!

What did I tell you?

Get up.

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

Are you going home?

Yes.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

My goodness, hey.

What's wrong?

Hello?

What was that?

This...

Didn't you hear something break?

-No. -He says no.

-Right here. The sound is jumpy. -What is?

Honey, pizza's here.

Is it all right to hand out wedding invitations twice a year?

Why does it have to be her?

Do-kyeong doesn't love you.

I tend to come on to people when I get drunk.

That's what it was.

Was it a fatal illness?

Did you miraculously get better and come back?

I feel so ashamed to like him.

You can't do this to Hae-young.
