I can do it

Wake up, idiot!

Idiot, wake up!

I love it.

I love it, too.

I’m better than her, right?

Of course.

Then why are you marrying her?

I’m coming.

Hey, look at me

- Huh? - and tell me that I’m pretty...

I wanted to impress you

so I wore a skirt for the first time

You okay, honey?

Screw you.

The exact same dream every time...

Aren’t you sick of it, Ja-young?

It’s not only 15-year-old boys who have wet dreams.

A 29-year-old woman can have one too. The only difference is

you don’t need to feel embarrassed.

Ja-young, find Mr. Right on LOVE BRIDGE and make the new year richer ♥♥♥

NOTHING SERIOUS

Why do people read magazines?

Tell me. Anyone?

Go on, Hyung-joon.

At the forefront of trend, magazines provide accurate and useful—

Next.

Along with information, we stimulate guilty pleasure—

Haven’t you been here longer than him?

How come you’re on the exact same level?

Next!

We create a friendly atmosphere that leads to purchases—

That’s it!

- Yes. - Spot on.

Create the feeling of an old friend

who really understands you!

Because they’re bored?

Correct, darling.

You read magazines to kill time because life is unbearably dull!

But what if it’s a dull read? Is that acceptable?

If you can’t write a fabulous story, then find a writer who can!

Or get yourself into a spectacular mess.

Choi Macho, who quit last month,

launched an independent webzine and hit the jackpot.

Remember how he got so obsessed with his sex column on sex toys

that he ended up going to a urologist?

I’m afraid it has lost its function.

I was so moved by his passion I expensed his treatment.

His webzine is all the craze on social media.

That’s what magazines are about. Engage the readers’ attention with clickbait,

then make them furious, cry, and laugh!

What, they broke up again? Oh my God, what happened?

I heard from my friend’s cousin’s distant relative yada yada…

blah blah blah…

yada yada blah blah...

Woori.

Yes, chief.

Why are you still here when Choi Macho has left?

Excuse me?

I heard some of his old colleagues helped him with the launch.

I haven’t talked to him in a while.

Whatever. Take over his sex column.

Me?

But I’m doing the culture section.

Isn’t sex culture?

I’m also writing the sports column.

Isn’t sex sports?

I was asked by the politics department—

Isn’t sex politics?

You majored in creative writing, right?

It’s shitty you’re stuck writing for a magazine, huh?

Not at all.

- On my desk by holiday’s end. - Yes, chief.

Have a good day.

Would you like this seat?

Give me your hands. They’re warm.

Honey,

let me tidy up your hair.

Is that okay?

I love you.

I love you, too.

What? You’re sick of me?

Yes, I am!

I thought you’d be hot and cool,

but you’re an alcoholic nympho with delusional jealousy

like Kathy Bates in Misery!

Fine, let’s break up.

But you should really see a doctor

for your premature ejaculation.

Did you hear that?

- He has PE. - Oh, shit...

I hope you can find treatment and meet someone nice.

Ham Ja-young!

Ham Ja-young!

Hey, watch it.

Ja-young, find Mr. Right on LOVE BRIDGE and make the new year richer ♥♥♥

Damn this alert!

Hey, dad.

Can you make more takeout boxes? The gimbap place is closed today.

We’ll be really busy today.

Okay.

Hey, are you free this Saturday?

Why?

Grandma’s in the hospital.

What?

She sprained her back getting off the bus.

- Is she okay? - She’s fine.

She has a lot of friends there, so it’s a party.

Oh, grandma...

Don’t “Oh, grandma” me.

You bothered her for your podcast, and now, you don’t call her.

I was going to call.

I almost forgot. This came for you.

Dad!

What? What is it?

I got it!

Dad! I’m so happy!

Is it good?

It’s really really good!

Choi Macho

Special Thanks to Choi Jinsu, Park Woori, Son Youngmi

Idiot!

Hey, Yeon-hee.

Hi, Woori.

Did you get home alright last night?

Of course, thanks to you.

Good.

Did you... want coffee?

No, I’m good.

I don’t want you to worry about the column. It’s really not my kind of stuff—

Huh?

Why would I worry about that?

You know...

- Oh, and... - I wanted to tell you...

I’m getting engaged.

My boyfriend came back last month.

I didn’t mean to hide it from you. We’d actually broken up.

Anyway, I feel I owe you so much. I enjoyed your company, too.

See you around.

Bitch on the Beach - The Musical

Ja-young’s celebratory drink is on me.

Woo-sung!

- Thanks, man. - You’re so handsome.

Excuse me!

- I’ll be right back. - The food is so good.

Congratulations! I told you you’d make it.

No, you said the exact opposite. You said it’s a failure in the making.

Thank you all for being happy for me! At 29, friends are all I have.

Cheers!

What about Min-seok?

Now, who’s that?

Your boyfriend of one month?

What did I miss?

You broke up with him already?

Yeon-hee is getting engaged?

But she’s been sleeping with you all along.

Women are scary creatures.

It’s all your fault.

If only I didn’t get that stupid sex column.

No, she’s lying.

What about?

She lied about getting engaged because you’re terrible in bed.

Will you cut the crap, please?

It’s bitter, isn’t it?

I kind of knew you were terrible in bed. No surprise there.

Shut your mouth, wank maniac.

What did you call me, mad dick?

Never mind, just look here.

Give me a pose.

- What are you doing? I’m tired. - Come on.

- Cut it out. - I said pose!

- Just one good pose! - Cut it out, man.

I like it! It makes your dick look huge.

Do you want to screw up your life?

Start a relationship.

The secret to happiness is not being in a relationship.

Simple as that.

Can we go back to the wet dream story?

I woke up right before orgasm.

By the way, how come it’s better in your dreams?

It’s so damn hard to cum in real life,

but in dreams, all my senses are awake.

So good.

Alright, that’s enough.

I heard sex dreams are associated with money.

Should I buy lottery tickets?

No, a sex dream means you want to have sex.

Can we have some class, girls?

My hubby would freak out if he heard this conversation.

What hubby?

You never know till you walk down the aisle.

Hmm... fuck off.

I’m the best divorce lawyer you can find. I’d be happy to represent you.

I will never require your services. Thank you.

She’s so annoying.

Excuse me!

No more X-rated talks until I come back, only R-rated.

Okay.

What do you want from a relationship?

Love, or do you simply miss dick?

I read somewhere love is in your head in your teens,

in your heart in your 20s and below the belly button in your 30s.

This big-cock-implying picture is good.

- What’s your blood type? - Type O.

- Your epitaph? - I don’t have one.

Then you gotta make one, one that stands out.

“Lived a lazy life very diligently.”

That’s good! But no.

“Fuck the Korean school system”?

I like that too, but no.

“Are you that tough? Meet me on the roof.”

That’s not it.

Roof... outside... sex?

Outdoor sex? We’re getting somewhere.

Meet me on the roof.

Okay.

And done!

Snow White, 23

Dammit.

Ja-young, find Mr. Right on LOVE BRIDGE and make the new year richer ♥♥♥

The stupid same alert again.

What is it?

Do you know ‘LOVE BRIDGE’?

Why do you have that app?

I downloaded it out of rage after breaking up last night.

It’s sending alerts nonstop.

A dating app?

A friend from college met a teacher with this and got married.

Apparently, you can find good ones, too.

What good ones?

It’s an app for those who crave sex

and want to have an awkward, shady meetup that ends dirty.

How about, “Good old-fashioned holiday fling”?

What the hell, man?

You got dumped and have a column to write. That’s two birds with one stone.

Don’t feel all alone on a holiday. Find your match on LOVE BRIDGE

and make your new year fuller.

Fuller... full boobs.

Are you crazy?

Do you want to meet some psycho, get raped, murdered, then dismembered?

Just delete the app. You’ll be 30 next year.

You can’t keep getting into bad relationships.

You just haven’t met the one like I have.

You meet the one and live happily ever after.

Are you listening to me?

What?

I refuse to waste energy on such an emotion-draining activity like love.

Do as you please.

Even Shakespeare defined love as a mental illness.

You can’t love people these days.

They come with all kinds of emotional baggage.

You end up seeing the worst in each other and break up.

You know, women can’t stand to see the men they’ve dumped end up happy.

So I’m supposed to find happiness here?

I’m not telling you to find love! Have some fun.

Tread that fine line between love and lust.

That’s what the readers love.

What woman in her right mind would agree to interview for a sex column?

Why would you tell her?

Are you crazy? You have to if it’s an interview.

Not if you write anonymously, and not if you rewrite creatively.

Just imagine you’re writing a novel. This is just a story.

You get pages to write, get paid,

and monitor readers’ reactions. That’s three birds.

Come on.

What...

You’re a good writer, but the book didn’t work out.

Just don't quit that job hastily like I did.

It’s a decent place, if you get on with that chief editor.

So you don’t want a relationship, but you want sex.

Dating apps are the answer then.

It’s actually convenient. What they want is clear and simple.

What if I clearly and simply catch an STD?

If you catch an STD, I’m not sharing food with you again.

I’m Ham Ja-young, the Legend!

How could someone of my caliber go swim in a kiddy pool?

You have someone on your hit list?

There’s a cute one at my gym. I’m gonna get him very soon.

Oh shit, Ja-young! Namgung Sang-woo is getting married.

What a perfect end to your day.

He was the love of your life.

They go away and get married, all of them.

Hey!

What?

What I meant was...

Don’t be disheartened. You can meet someone, you will.

That cute hunk from the gym, bring him over.

If I get him here in front of you by next week,

what do I get?

Why should you get anything for bringing a guy here?

Why?

Because I need motivation! Come on, place your bets.

I sincerely root for your new beginning,

but I’m gonna bet $100 on you failing this one.

I bet 200.

- Hello. - Hi.

Hey.

Hey.

Do you like beer?

Sure.

Do you want to have one later?

I’d like that, yes.

Okay.

Mom!

Here’s your protein, honey.

I’m going for a beer with this lady. You want to come?

Just one though, you don’t want a beer belly.

Of course not.

Be wise and choose low cal snacks.

- Like dried fish fillet. - Okay.

- Dried fish is a perfect match for beer. - Sure.

- Be home by midnight. - Okay, mom.

Book clubs are the new hot spot for hookups.

Hyewha Book Club is the hottest.

Go for the first guy you make eye contact with.

Honestly, what you want are strong legs. Climbers are always worth the climb.

Ow...

You okay?

The true, meant-to-be one strikes you like lightning.

Wake up, this is the last stop.

You have to catch that moment.

“Wanna grab a coffee?” A classic that never fails.

Do you want to have coffee?

But what if you feel your ancestors aren’t looking out for you?

You must honor them with a ritual.

I’ll offer you as a sacrifice, fraud!

Dammit.

What happened to all the normal ones?

I have $30,000 in student loans, and $60,000 in key money loans

totaling $93,682 in debt...

That’s the third time you’ve said that.

Can’t you have a proper relationship?

How can I, with debt totaling $96,380?

Let’s say debtors can date.

How many men are worth spending my resources dating

while paying off $96,380?

Still, at 29, I need sex to live.

America has the same problem. You know what their biggest issue is?

The accumulated sexual frustration of the 20s and 30s.

And what does that tell you?

Being fluent in English doesn’t solve the problem.

There goes your choplogic again.

Drink this and go home, or you’ll suffer tomorrow.

Why did you give me this?

To sober you up.

What...

Why are you looking at me like that?

What are you doing? Pull it up! I mean it.

It’s New Year’s Day. Don’t come in to work.

Shit, it’s New Year’s Day.

Nooooo! Stop!

Ja-young, find Mr. Right on LOVE BRIDGE and make the new year richer ♥♥♥

Delete app?

One week turned into 1,000 days, and you turned into stone.

You owe me 100 bucks.

ID: PrettyHuge

Hey, babe! Where you at?

Hi!

Want me to come over? I’m feeling pretty hot.

What the hell?

My eyes!

TouchYouAllOver WithMeTonight

...TweetyBird likes your profile!

Mak Ja-young, 29

Sorry I’m late!

It’s from mom. Take it.

Mak Ja-young... as in, “sleeps around”?

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Are you Mak Ja-young?

Yeah, that’s me.

I'm... from LOVE BRIDGE.

I’m Tweety Bird.

Oh, hi!

Hi.

Did you give blood?

I got here early and saw a blood van.

Uh...

Shall we take a walk? Maybe?

Shall we? Sounds good.

Are you trying to look like Hyun Bin from that movie?

That wasn’t my intention.

Do you belong to a cult by any chance?

No, do you?

Of course not. I'm not crazy.

Do you have a wife?

What are you doing?

It’s a simple question. There’s no harm in checking.

I don’t. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here.

And you’re not expecting your mom

or planning on telling her everything?

No, my mom... we rarely talk.

- Okay. - Okay.

For your information,

my dad’s a homicide detective.

Well, thank him for his service.

I’m hungry after giving blood. Let’s go eat something.

Okay.

Shall we make an introduction first?

“Sleep Around” can’t be your real name.

- Promise you won’t laugh. - I promise.

It’s Ham Ja-young [“Sleeps Once”].

My name is Park Woori.

- Park Woori? - Yes.

As in… “The act of fucking”?

Oh my God...

I’m sorry.

Shall we go then?

Okay.

Do you give blood often?

It’s nice to do something nice for the new year.

And the buckwheat noodles?

It’s nice to eat something nice for the new year.

Is that your New Year’s Day ritual?

Why aren’t you eating?

The broth tastes like someone washed a tea towel in it.

Can we get a bottle of soju?

You can’t let good food go to waste.

Drink?

No, I’m good.

Don’t make me drink alone on New Year’s Day.

And let’s drop the formalities between two peers with embarrassing names.

You’re already doing it.

I’ll be honest with you.

This is my first time using the app, and I thought a lot before coming here.

I'm not trying to back out, but I feel I need to know you better.

For all you know, you could be a total asshole looking for free sex.

I guess you have to be cautious... since you’re a girl.

Because I’m a girl?

What I’m saying is...

There’s a bigger risk for women.

Why did you choose me? You must receive a lot of likes.

Their show-off pictures only make them look pathetic.

You looked least likely to have an STD.

Are you looking for a girlfriend?

Not really, no.

Then why are you here?

I don't know... same reasons as you?

Come on.

Well, uh...

I guess I got a little lazy?

I suppose I’m lonely, but...

then again, meeting someone new and getting to know her,

being a nice guy, exchanging pleasantries, that’s all nice too, but...

I'm going through a phase.

I need to warm up, and... I don’t know.

I’m not sure.

You’re not looking for a relationship?

I would if circumstances allowed, but now’s not the right time.

Do you still think I’m some weird guy?

Never mind.

I’m not looking for anything serious.

I shouldn’t be interviewing you.

I don’t think I’m fit for a relationship.

Even if Prince Charming comes along, there’s no point if his dick is small.

You’re really something else.

Can I ask what you do?

I work in a bakery.

You?

I work for a publishing company…

that makes school books.

Do you like books?

- Books? - Yeah.

Last book I read was three years ago.

Not even magazines?

At 29, I can’t afford to waste time on magazines.

I see.

Are you really going to sleep with a man you just met?

Is it over already? Gone in 60 seconds?

If I don’t hear from you by 10, I’ll call my friend’s dad’s cousin who’s a narcotics cop.

Where’s your hotel? In Hongdae? Or Jangchung?

Get your act together, girl!

Okay, we’re waiting for an update.

Remember, I’m expecting 3,000 words by midnight tomorrow.

I’m counting on you.

Is she hot? Think you can write something?

You picked up the bill.

Yes.

Two noodles, $24, two soju, $8... comes to $16 each.

I’m not a math person, babe.

Don’t babe me just yet.

If you’re planning to take my kidney or something, I’ll kill you.

How come there’s only six floors?

What?

Oh...

The room was pretty nice.

Yeah, the interior design was okay.

It’s quiet, perhaps because it’s New Year’s.

I guess they’re all visiting relatives.

I guess.

We can eat something if you’re hungry.

It was fun.

Yeah?

Get home safe.

You too.

- Hey... - Yeah?

So, uh...

How many likes do you get?

What?

I was curious.

Men rarely get any. Wondered if it’s different for women.

You suddenly got curious?

I guess.

Are you afraid I’ll meet someone else?

It’s not that.

I’m grateful you chose me.

So random.

Yes.

I’m gonna go.

Okay, bye.

And hey!

Should we...

Should we...

Shall I call you? Maybe?

I’ll call you.

Good old-fashioned one night stand for a holiday

It’s a grey area: Holiday, and a one-nighter, too.

29 and 33 are both unlucky numbers.

Then again, four years makes an ideal gap,

and yet, you’ve already tried out the sexual match. How was it?

You’re excited, aren’t you?

Just one night only? That’s it?

I don't know. Why did he ask me at the end? Yikes.

You met for sex. Why do you care?

I don’t know. It bothers me.

Whoa, you’re waiting for his call.

Who? Me?

No.

I can see through your lies. I’m a lawyer.

No!

Really?

Hell no.

I’m telling you, not another word.

Don’t get grumpy with me. Just call him.

It’s over. A done deal.

If I didn't know you better... it’s written all over your face.

The chemistry was fucking awesome.

- Huh? - Grandma!

What chemistry?

You okay, grandma?

- I was worried about you. - You okay?

How are you feeling?

I’m fine.

- Anyway... - You scared me.

What chemistry were you talking about?

Sorry?

We have such good chemistry.

Sun-bin, you have to find a new job.

You shouldn’t be meddling with people getting divorces.

But I love what I do! I’ll divorce all the couples in the world.

There’s no one in your firm you can set up with Ja-young?

But grandma, she has a FWB now.

What’s an FWB?

- A FWB is short for— - Friend with Beer.

- What? - A friend you have beer with.

Well then, the more the better.

No, grandma. That’s a bad idea.

I have good news. I finally got a grant for my podcast.

I have money to do it properly now.

Round up all the good talkers from your circle.

Who listens to that anyway?

A lot of people.

Nowadays, it’s more popular than radio.

What should we talk about?

The first episode is, “The Protagonist of My Life.”

Protagonist?

Grannies live their whole life for others,

looking after the kids, husbands, and their parents.

I want them to talk about how they’re protagonists...

Who gives a shit about being a protagonist?

Huh?

Nobody is the protagonist of their lives.

Are you, Ja-young?

If I’m not the protagonist of my life, what am I?

A supporting side character.

What?

29... that’s a good age.

I’ll get some rest.

Have a good nap, grandma.

What the hell is a supporting side character?

Please see attached Ep 1. See you tomorrow.

Mak Ja-young: OMW, see you soon!

Are you in bed?

What are you...

Are you awake...

Yeon-hee!

What brings you here?

Is something wrong?

What is it?

Are you okay?

Thank you for last night.

Why don’t you go down and come back up again?

Park Woori!

In my office, now.

What happened to you on New Year’s Day?

Sorry?

The column.

Yeah... um...

I’m not right for the sex column.

I was wrong about you.

How can a sex column not have sex in it?

You’re a true writer.

At first, I thought you were protesting,

but then, once it was uploaded, the readers’ reactions!

That tantalizing point.

It’s not about sex and crazy foreplay.

It’s about the emotion.

A man and a woman in questionable circumstances,

prying like cats while wanting to attack like snakes.

All that tension builds up, and they go to a motel.

But the following sentence is they came out of the motel?

Absolutely playing push and pull with the readers.

You’re a genius!

Well, I...

Did you write from imagination? A story you heard from a friend?

Or did you conduct an interview?

Your own experience?

You told me to be hands on.

Let’s go for a 5-part series.

A 5-part series?

Tantalizing is the sexiest.

In my 30-year career in the business, I’ve never seen this concept at work.

Expense the drinks and motel bills.

No, I—

This girl has a mouth on her. Dig deeper.

No, I don't think it’s—

I’ll keep your secret.

You can say it was research, which is not a lie.

But chief—

I’ll cover your ass, so just do as you’re told.

Off you go.

It’s gorgeous.

The note says, “Forgive me.”

He’s a romantic.

It looks very expensive.

Dad, I’ll be off then.

I almost forgot.

What is that?

It’s for you.

Why do you keep this mail?

I told you to throw away anything from the station.

How can I? It’s your mail.

I don’t work there anymore. It’s junk mail.

You worked so hard for the job. Don’t you have regrets?

Dad, I found my way.

Start-ups are thorny paths. You don’t want to go down there.

What if it’s what I really want?

What?

It’s my life. This isn’t about you.

You’re just upset because you can’t boast about me anymore.

Fine.

You should live your life, too.

Hello.

Do you stop fighting with your dad when you turn 30?

I heard you got dumped by your one night stand?

Who dumped who? I blocked his number first.

We’re hanging out with my boyfriend’s friends. Come quick.

His friends from sports college?

They are all so hot. There’s even a Park Bo Gum lookalike.

Is that right?

- Yumi... - Yeah.

Just get your ass over here.

I'm on my way.

What’s the matter?

Drink.

- Are you grateful for me, too? - What?

It’s nothing.

She is totally using you. She has no feelings for you.

She’s looking for comfort, a quick fix.

Why are women like that? What’s wrong with them?

We’re all like that, not a single exception.

Bitch...

Tell me what’s wrong with men.

You know she’s trouble, but you just forget that if she’s pretty?

Like some character from a Marvel movie?

You think you know me? You got me figured out?

You don’t have the guts to confront her boyfriend either.

You can’t win love nor can you refuse it for dignity.

- Hey! - What?

Do you know how to console people?

It’s hardly worth it.

What comfort should I offer to a loser who steals from others?

I can’t talk to a girl.

Be reasonable.

Would you be attracted to you if you were a girl?

Very much so,

moderately so,

somewhat,

very little, or

not at all.

Very much so, moderately so...

Somewhat.

Somewhat?

With men, you have to move down two scales.

So it’s “not at all.”

How come?

Wait... what about women?

As for me, I’m “moderately so,”

but so many women belong to that category, I have no competitive edge.

That’s sad, too.

You don’t want to go below your league,

but your body craves something hot.

It’s a vicious cycle in a huge grey area.

Hey.

Yeah?

Am I bad in bed?

How should I put it?

You’re like a private.

No, someone who is enlisting,

walking into a barber shop to get his hair clipped.

I'm serious.

Well... it was alright for me.

Yeah?

My dick is big, right?

Very much so, moderately so, not really, not at all.

Knock it off with the questionnaire. Tell me the truth.

It’s cute.

So cute it made you scream?

Do you think women moan for men?

No, it’s to arouse herself.

It’s true.

So transparent and honest. Your parents raised you well!

My mom died a week after she gave birth.

What?

- She’d just turned 30. - Oh...

I’ll be 30 next year.

That’s too young to die.

I live my life thinking I’m living her life for her.

Maybe I’ll live differently from 30,

as the protagonist of my life.

That’s admirable.

Latest kick-yourself moment?

I hit on my guy friend and got outright rejected.

What’s your biggest scare?

Bank balance.

You?

Needle.

A needle?

A syringe.

Tattoo.

Dream sex spot?

Ferris wheel.

Seriously?

What if you swing too much and fall off?

That’s the point.

What about you?

Radio studio.

What?

I’ve done that though.

How?

I worked for a radio station briefly.

I see.

You can count on soundproofing.

Hey.

How am I?

How are you what?

Am I good?

Well, you are...

Stop.

You’re erotic.

The worst scumbag you ever dated?

My first love.

Why?

It wasn’t the first time or the first relationship,

but you just know intuitively, “This guy is my first love.”

Then what happened?

We went out.

Doesn’t it make it a successful first love?

I got a job at the radio station for him, and we dated for two years.

Then he wanted to break up.

I was so devastated, I begged him to let me be around.

So we just had sex for three more years.

The funny thing is, I didn’t see anyone else in that three years.

But he was seeing other people

while he was fucking me.

What a scumbag!

It gets even better.

He told me one day that he found someone he really cares about,

and he wanted to end it with me.

It hurt a lot more than when he wanted to break up with me.

I acted up a bit and bad rumors spread at work.

So I quit.

He’s getting married this month.

I asked him the last time we slept together

who is better.

He has better sex with me, but he wants to marry her.

He loves her more.

What sad load of crap is that?

If anything deserves total havoc, it’s that wedding.

Shall I do it?

Show up at the wedding, expose all his evil, and break up the marriage?

Totally! Pack up. I'll go with you.

Knock knock, I’m here to see

how my doormat is doing?

Thank you for asking weird questions for me.

All I wanted to do was just talk,

but I couldn’t be completely honest even with my best friends.

Don’t we want love so we can talk and have sex?

Why is that so difficult?

Let’s stop pretending to be cool. We’re all fucking lonely.

Who here isn’t?

Hey.

Where did you come from?

Why did you come to me?

Tell me.

Hey, wake up.

How much did we drink last night?

Where am I...?

In a motel room.

Did you... do it to me while I was passed out?

What the hell?

You stripped off, complaining it’s hot. I made sure you didn’t catch cold.

Right?

I paid for the room, too.

Thank you very much. Send me your account number.

I already have. Send half.

Well, thanks.

What was that?

What?

You’re sorry to spend money without having sex?

Want me to blow you now?

Are you crazy? I’m a sensible, educated man.

What’s wrong with you?

Do you have no shame?

Urgh.

I have no shame. So what?

Good for you.

Relationships are a fart,

and marriages are poop.

You keep on farting,

and when you have to poop, you get married.

I’m getting even more curious, what’s going on in her head?

I love it.

It’s on me!

Can you do it twice in a day?

What?

Hey?

Do you know why thirty is thirty?

Why?

Because you’re allowed to be dirty.

She’s the first girl to make a sex joke with age.

We did it three times.

Can you do it one more time?

She awakened potentials in me I wasn’t even aware of.

This column is really funny.

Apparently, it’s a true story.

Can you see it?

She made me go back to being a child.

Is it true that women can’t have sex unless they’re emotionally involved?

I totally can.

She kept me excited, even when we weren’t with each other,

and unleashed the laughter that had been locked inside me.

I really felt it this time.

If this isn’t a relationship, then what is?

It’s more like theater.

Maybe her acting won’t end.

But if it’s really just a show, I keep on thinking I want to end it.

When’s the next episode coming?

Maybe that’s why

the words slipped out of my mouth... I love you.

Woori’s column hit 500,000 views!

Everyone, get off the keyboards.

Dinner is on me!

Pack up, we’re having beef.

Let’s go! 500,000 views!

To Park Woori, the genius!

To Woori!

Thank you so much.

Have some.

I’ll eat myself.

It’s okay. Open your mouth.

Don’t favor him too much though.

If you want my love, then bring me a killer column.

500,000 views is like a dream.

- Wow, look at this! - What is it?

517,000 and counting.

It’s incredible.

LOVE BRIDGE subscribers have surged, too.

People must’ve been horny around New Year’s.

Are you sure the story is based on an interview?

Yeah.

Stealing leftovers from the next table,

and with men, you should move down by two scales...

these details feel so real.

And the writing feels somewhat different from your usual style.

Readers are raising suspicion, too. About the details.

What if it’s his story? It’s pretty common around here.

This is all a compliment, you know?

Focus on what matters. You made the readers horny.

Who knew a sex column with no sex would do so well?

No wonder you’re a creative writing major.

Good for you. You got yourself a fan club.

- Woori? - Yes.

- Let’s make it a 10-part series. - No, that’s...

It’s a direct order from the managing director.

Then you have to do it.

- Absolutely. - No objections.

Well, please, you have to hear...

And announcement! Our team is getting a special bonus.

Bonus, bonus, bonus!

- Bonus! - Bonus!

My ace writer!

Did you drink a lot?

I got curious reading the story.

Are you going out with her?

No.

Yeah, it’s no fun if it happens too soon.

You heated up the readers so much.

It’s the moment before the relationship that’s the best.

Woori.

You should do it now.

What?

Write about the sex.

You read the comments? People are getting annoyed.

There’s a limit to tormenting the audience.

Look at 50 Shades of Grey.

It tantalizes you in the beginning,

but when they show you, they really show you.

It’s time. You have to write the real sex column.

Chief...

I’m going to stop.

What?

I can’t do it anymore.

Are you...

If I tell her sincerely, she’ll understand.

Are you in love with her?

Is that it?

You must be. Otherwise, why would you tell her?

Okay then, write creatively from now on. That’s what you do, right?

You’ve laid out the foundation. From here to episode 10 will be

an outright dirty novel, or get help from Macho.

No, I’m calling it quits.

Don’t you know what a direct order means?

Complete the 10-part, and you’ll get your own page.

You said you want to write a book.

Think about it over the weekend.

If she finds out about the column,

or if you stop like this, I won’t tolerate it.

Where have you been?

Let’s have a drink.

It’ll be nice to have one now.

One, two, three, four... I’ll learn English.

Ja-young... I love you.

Tweety Bird

Hello?

Yeah...

Now?

What brings you here?

I have something to tell you.

Is there a café where we can talk?

Let’s see...

Shit! Your ex’s wedding is in an hour.

Isn’t this the hotel he used to bring you to all the time? What a bastard!

What’s the matter? What is it?

Remember, you made the offer first.

What am I doing here? I feel so stupid.

Let’s get out of here.

But we came all the way here.

This is a terrible idea. Let’s go.

Wait, what are you saying?

Didn’t he dump you then use you for three more years?

Am I wrong?

You know nothing.

Then why do you cry when you’re drunk?

What?

What did we come here for?

Let’s at least watch the ceremony.

Where do I give the wedding gift money?

I’ll get the guestbook.

Don’t look back.

Huh?

Keep walking.

- Excuse me. Hey! - Run!

You there! Stop!

Let go of this.

No. Run.

I can’t anymore.

What did you do?

Did you steal the gift money? That’s theft.

What is this?

This... is not money... but still quite important.

I thought he’d be in trouble without this.

I heard some celeb talk on a TV show.

She said after she broke up with her lover,

she wanted her ex to feel a little anxious all the time.

Not knowing who paid how much at his wedding

will kill him for the rest of his life.

You’re a total nut.

Do you feel better?

Well…

I thought I was the protagonist of that man’s life.

But I wasn’t.

It just got confirmed that I was a side character.

But it doesn’t feel that shitty.

I feel like I’m a cool sort of side character.

Cool, my ass.

I guess I tried to run.

Because I didn't want to admit it.

But it was a good thing I watched the wedding.

So thank you!

What’s that Park Bo Gum-like smile?

What...? Do I look like him?

A 45-year-old Park Bo Gum growing blueberries in the country.

Not funny.

Anyway, what did you want to tell me?

Oh, that...

You had something to tell me.

Ja-young,

what I’m about to tell you...

Hey, do you want to ride the Ferris wheel tomorrow?

What the hell?

He looks so real.

Shit.

I'm hungry.

Am I the shit or what?

Let’s go one more time.

- No... - Why not?

I'm dying.

Come on, it’s fun.

I’m going home, okay?

Please collect your belongings from the counter by the entrance.

Your phone!

There we are.

Look at us.

Check this out.

I need the restroom.

I’ll be here.

- I’m on top, you on the bottom - From A to Z except a relationship

- A regular guy, not so regular girl - It’s a grey area: holiday, and one-nighter, too

- Isn’t she just a hypocritic sex maniac? - They say one thing and act differently.

- Need that kind of girl around me. - Join LOVE BRIDGE, too!

Thanks. I’ll put it on my phone.

Excuse me. I just got off this ride.

You came for your phone?

- Is this yours? - Thank you.

A woman left it for you.

CHIEF: your column hit 700,000! LOVE BRIDGE wants to advertise!

Ja-young!

Ja-young.

Ja-young, hey!

Who the fuck are you?

Let’s go somewhere and talk.

We can talk here. I’m scared to go anywhere with you.

A column?

What’s all this? Tell me.

Yes, I wrote it.

I’ve written five so far.

And you met me to write it.

It’s not like that.

Then what?

You approached me intentionally for this.

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it,

but I was going to tell you everything today.

You were going to tell me?

Am I supposed to say thank you?

That explains your performance at the wedding.

You know that’s not true.

Why me?

Do I look like an idiot?

No! Of course not.

Ja-young.

So this is what you do.

Have sex and write a column. It must’ve been so much fun.

That’s why you offered to pay for drinks and rooms.

Do you even feel guilty?

You fucking sociopath! I’m gonna sue you and your company.

You can sue me, expose me, do whatever you want,

but what do you get by walking out on me?

Can you at least hear me out?

I’m not the only one, am I?

What?

How many more are there?

What are you talking about?

How many women did you make a fool out of on that dating app?

I’ll take the column down. It’s anonymous. No one knows it’s you.

No, don’t.

I’ll upload, too.

I was victimized by Park Woori.

Yes, I wrote it.

I’ve written five so far.

Well, this is fun.

I don’t feel guilty as well.

It’s a grey area: holiday, and one-nighter, too.

I felt cold, wet wind seeping into my body...

#If you drink this, you’re going out with me.

I’ll make sure he goes to jail for this.

You have nothing to worry about, okay?

The internet detectives beat you to it.

They dug up everything about him. He got doxed.

Way to go, IT powerhouse Korea. Man, they’re fast.

Let’s see... graduated from Noil High in 2010...

Creative Writing major at Sinseok University…

...joined magazine in 2019...

What a sick maniac!

Anyway, are you really this freaky, or is he a really good writer?

Hey!

I'm just curious...

- I don’t normally read this... - Hey!

People are tightly divided.

One side is crucifying the guy,

while the other side says his confession is heartrending and you should forgive him

...and marry him.

Come to think of it,

the column doesn’t specify you as the female character.

It’s hard to build a case for defamation or libel.

Your name isn’t mentioned in the voice recording either.

We may have no money, but we have our fists.

We’ll beat a confession out of him.

Let’s beat him up!

What’s wrong with you guys? I'm fine.

You don’t have to make this more serious than it is.

You’re really being ridiculous.

Did you have a good laugh? Then good for you.

My name isn’t mentioned anywhere. No harm done.

You didn’t have to lock up for me.

What I don't understand is...

He came with me to my ex’s wedding.

He accompanied me on my revenge mission.

And going to the wedding actually helped me move on.

And all that was just for show.

To what end?

He said he was sincere, and wanted to tell me everything.

Why did he do so before stupidly getting caught?

I fucking knew it would end like this with him, too.

I knew it.

I made hangover soup. - Love, Dad

Can I get any lower than this?

Stop. You’re disturbing dust!

What are you flipping out about?

Because I’m a sad side character.

Side characters aren’t allowed to flip out?

I’ll be 30 next year, grandma. When will I become a main character?

You look a bit like a main character today.

What?

You play the main character, extra, and side characters, too.

That’s the fun of life.

He demanded all his columns be pulled, and he handed in his resignation.

He’s been referred to a disciplinary committee. Maybe the girl sued.

I heard the editor-in-chief knew about her all along.

She’s a steel-hearted bitch!

Anyway, I knew he would end up like that.

The person you’re calling is not available...

Welcome to your favorite podcast for older girls, “In My Time”!

I’m your host, Ja-young the Lovely.

With Lunar New Year 2022 around the corner,

the theme for Episode 74 is, “The Best Friend in My Life.”

So, girls, tell us about your besties.

What did I tell you? That it would be a huge hit.

No, you said she’d suffer endlessly and shit blood.

- Hi, Woori. - Sir.

- Can you cover until 5? - Sorry?

The next shift guy can’t make it.

- Stock the ramen shelves? - Got it.

I went over the CCTV footage for security.

You’re reading books too much during your shift.

You should’ve found a job at a bookstore.

Sorry.

- See you later. - Okay.

Grandma.

Yeah?

I bet listeners will love your night winner story.

- Yeah? - Of course.

I’m happy as long as you are.

What’s your secret?

How did the secret rendezvous by the mill become your love?

Where you meet isn’t important.

If you’re meant to be, you’ll end up together.

Really? If it’s meant to be?

Is there someone?

Someone I want to be with?

What do you think love is?

Love? I’m not sure.

I used to write a novel.

All I wanted was to be stinking rich,

but eventually I gave up.

My favorite writer said,

“If you have not loved, you can’t write.”

Ever since then, I haven’t been able to write.

Want me to make you write again?

I can do it!

I’m the protagonist of my life!

Guestbook

Not knowing who paid how much at his wedding

will kill him for the rest of his life.

Park Wooroa $10

Come over to my house. I’ll make New Year’s soup.

I’ll pass. I’ve got something to do.

Your New Year’s ritual?

Blood donation and buckwheat noodles?

No.

My husband’s friends are here, including the Park Bo Gum lookalike.

Park Bo Gum?

Yeah, he’s here.

Okay.

That’ll be $36.

- There you go. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Happy New Year.

Can’t let good food go to waste.

Ja-young? Ja-young?

Who are you? Do I know you?

So you only come here on New Year’s Day?

I came here a few times thinking about you.

You don’t even understand buckwheat noodles.

What are you talking about? I’m from up north.

I gave blood before coming here. Look.

I almost passed out when the needle went in.

Why did you do it?

Ja-young…

I really thought hard about this.

I think we’re ready for it.

For what?

A relationship.

I will make up for all the wrong I did to you.

We’ve done everything together except that.

What more is there to it anyway,

besides liking each other, caring for each other,

and having a good time together?

And why would I do that with you?

Should... we love then?

Very much so, moderately so, somewhat, we make an awesome couple...

Hey.

Ja-young.

I missed you.

Ja-young, why did you come here?

Ja-young, can I come with you?

Huh?

I’m coming with you.

Can this movie be a romance movie?

What will it take?

A sweet love confession? A romantic kiss?

Even if we don’t have that or break up eventually

I hope it won’t be a bad story

because this is our special romance.
