All language subtitles for I Need Romance 3 Ep05

I need romance.

I need romance.

What are you

doing here?

Hi, Shingshing!

Things that don't make sense

happen in life, sometimes.

I said I would come back.

I said I would become a man and come back.

I can't believe this.

Let's live happily together from now on,

Shingshing.

Who

are you?

Is there anyone else
who calls you Shingshing?

I'm Wan.

Wan Joo.

That dirty and ugly kid, Sweet Potato?

Please don't make a mess while eating.

This is the right and that's the left.

An idiot who couldn't even distinguish

between left and right shoes

until he was seven years old.

Push the pedals down

so your bike can go forward!

That idiot who didn't even know
how to ride a bike

until he was nine?

How could that idiot

turn into this guy?

I look great now, don't I?

This

is a miracle.

Do you still have my front tooth?

Do you think I'm crazy? That gross thing?

I'm sure you have it somewhere.

You looked so touched
when you got my tooth.

I said I threw it away!

I guess you're okay
since you are yelling now.

Did you make seaweed soup?

Let's eat breakfast first.

Hold on!

You!

Why did you do that?

-Do what?
-Don't say you don't remember!

Right, that kiss.

Did you have fun playing with me?

What do you mean I played with you?

What then? You played
with me pretending to be Allen

without telling me it was you!

So I'm not Allen?

If I knew it was you, I would...

You would have treated me
like a kid all the time.

You didn't even think of me
as a grown man.

Allen is the same.

Seeing me waiting for your call
and being restless,

did you have fun?

In the past 17 years,
you got really messed up.

-I'm messed up?
-Yes.

You, Honey.

I'm realistic, not messed up!

So thinking that I played
with you is realistic?

Is it?

Let's

eat first.

You can't skip breakfast on your birthday.

Have a seat.

This will be the first and last meal
that I will prepare for you.

I regret that I was even born.

-Happy birthday.
-Thanks.

You were going to stay
in Korea for a year, right?

I have no intention of living with you,

but your mom helped me out
when I bought this house.

-You know that, right?
-So?

So I should live with you
to return the favor.

Well, that was all very realistic.

How did you get to speak Korean so well?

Korean dramas and Hallyu .

You don't know?

Do you have any idea

how hot you look
when you stare at me like that?

Hey, Sweet Potato!

I'm going to kiss you
if you call me that again.

Your kiss was terrible.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am. You're so bad at kissing.

Don't forget that I heard
your phone conversation.

You were saying...

I felt like I was in love again.

I know it's not easy to feel that way

with just one kiss,

but I did.

Isn't it amazing?

You are amazing! Were you that easy?

There are so many things
that I haven't showed you yet.

What are those things?

Do you want me to show you now?

Don't.

Come closer.

You're feeling uncomfortable, right?

Your heart is pounding, isn't it?

Don't be cocky.

You'll always be Sweet Potato to me.

I was your man that day, but why not now?

I'm handsome and tall,
and I'm good at kissing.

I also said I love you
while gazing at you.

What more do you want?

I'm a very modest man,

so it's embarrassing to tell you
all those things about me,

but I will since you don't seem to know.

I'm also talented!

I know!

So why would a man like you like me?

I understand. It must be hard
for you to accept the fact.

Do you think your feelings are normal?

What do you mean?

When and why did you even start to like...

This is why I kissed you.

You keep asking me logical questions.

I just don't

get it no matter how much
I think about it.

You knew it that day.

You don't get it
for you're trying to figure things out.

Do you think you are smart?

Who's trying to be smart here?

Who came up with all those strategies
hiding his identity?

Think about it.

I'm late. I have to go.

Gosh, it's cold!

I'll drop you off.

I was going to give you a ride
and left the heater on for you.

It's the coldest day of the year today,
they said.

Think of this as your birthday gift
for me and get in.

Isn't it warm in here?

Are you nervous

since I'm sitting so close to you?

Move your face away.

I'm not going to bite you,

so relax.

If I were in my 20s,

I would fall in love thinking
this was my fate.

How is it possible
that he moved in next door?

-Excuse me!
-Shoot!

Excuse me.

You just came out. I live in 609.

Just go away.

I'll be late for work.

Excuse me!

She's weird.

Well, I don't always have to be friends
with my neighbors.

Gosh, this is crazy.

Okay.

Where are my car keys?

I know you're not sleeping.

How long are you going to pretend?
We're here.

If I answer your questions,

will you accept me?

When, at what moment,

and why I started to like you.

If I tell you, will you believe me?

You are so messed up.

You don't believe that I like you,

you treat me like a kid
and avoid feeling uncomfortable.

Should I just kiss you?

Gosh, I feel so uncomfortable!

MEET WORLD RENOWNED SONGWRITER, ALLEN JOO

World Renowned Songwriter, Allen Joo

Allen Joo talks about his music.

She's the one who taught me what love was,

so maybe I can say she was my first love,

but my feelings are more complicated
than that.

I miss her

and I remember her fondly.

Does this make sense?

Being excited to know
that you're someone's first love

is childish.

He's so ridiculous.

This is like a fairy tale

about an ugly Sweet Potato
who I used to know

when I was a kid becoming a prince
and coming back to me.

And we fall in love
and live happily ever after.

Shame on me. Sweet Potato?

I kissed Sweet Potato?

He totally ruined my little fantasy
that I had clung to.

I realized again
that love is just an illusion of a moment.

In the past 17 years,
you got really messed up.

You're so messed up.

You're here early!

Yes.

Good morning.

Am I really messed up?

A little.

So I guess you heard the rumors about you.

What?

Do people talk about me like that
behind my back?

Who? Who said that?

They say you are a robot
that has no emotions.

That's ridiculous.

People don't expect consolations
nor kind words from you.

Isn't it weird to expect such things
at work?

They say you are greedy, arrogant,
and selfish.

That's right. That's all me!

But if I become a nice person,

does that mean a triple A
in my evaluation?

I prefer you staying mean
and being a good worker.

See?

Tell them I won't change a bit
though they talk behind my back.

Why should I care
about what they say behind my back?

Let them keep talking.
I'll get promoted faster than them.

Joo-yeon.

You deserve all those backstabbing

for being selfish, arrogant,
and realistic, but...

I can't do this.
Look the other way for a second.

Just...

Just do what I say.

Now what?

You're really attractive and beautiful.

I know.

But,

why do I have to look at the wall?

When you show me
that bright smile from time to time,

you are unbelievably lovely.

And knowing that I'm the only one
who normally gets to see

that smile of yours makes me happy.

Wow. Why is my heart fluttering?

What's this about?

Tae-yoon!

Tae-yoon!

What are the trends next season?

When will you give me the analysis sheets?

I don't think that's important right now.

What about the guideline
from the association?

You are being shy around me right now.

Tell me what you just said
in the tearoom. I felt so weird!

One more time, please?

This is why I don't compliment you.

Get out of my way.

Tell me one more time
while looking into my eyes!

Good morning!

-Hello!
-Hello!

How come you guys look so relaxed
when you're late?

You guys are 10 minutes late! Move over!

Get ready for the meeting.

-Okay.
-Okay.

I want to change the current view
on home shopping

that the customer base is limited
to old women.

That's right. We need to show them
it's young and fresh.

That sounds good.

How about collaborating with rookies

who want to do their collections
in New York?

I don't think they'll reject us
if we offer sponsorship.

They can't say no to a sponsorship

since it costs a lot of money
to have a fashion show in New York.

Also, by sponsoring up and coming
designers, it's a win-win situation.

Try to relay our conditions to them.

I have a good feeling about this!

Hee-jae and I have already made a list
of the designers.

Wow! Look at you two!

You've been working so hard lately.

We're working so hard to catch up
with you.

Send this list to Se-ryeong, too.

You should share information.

I have a meeting with the chairman.

We worked all night
for a week to make this list.

Who's the most popular one among them?

If I had to choose only one, it would be

-designer Seung-geon Park.
-Me too.

Send Se-ryeong all the names
except for his, then.

What do you think, Joo-yeon?

What do you guys think?

We shouldn't!

We're rivals until we see the result
of the first show.

That's the best idea you have had today.

I know, right?

Since when did I start to love you?

Because you asked,

I had to answer that question.

Maybe

that moment.

That's right.

Nobody loves me.

In that very moment,

I felt goose bumps in my heart.

I

love

being lonely!

Then I felt something hot
on the traces those goose bumps left.

It seemed to hurt a little too.

And that look on your face

penetrated through my ribs
and reached my painful heart.

Since that day,

I've been feeling as
if you're standing in front of me

staggering as you did that day.

I'm sure that's the moment
when I fell in love with you again.

But why...

Why that moment?

You don't love someone
because you're heart-broken by her.

You don't fall in love
because you stole a glance

of someone hitting rock bottom.

But why you?

Why you?

Will I be able to figure out

the reason?

When did you come home?

Did you have dinner?

Will you answer me?

I asked you if you had dinner.

I

prefer to be alone.
It makes me feel comfortable.

You said you wanted to live happily
with me, right?

Then it's best for you to leave me alone.
Don't interrupt me.

Okay, but smile when you say such things.

I thought about

why I like you

and I couldn't find the answer.

There's no reason

for liking you.

But that's why this is love,
because there's no reason,

and I think it's right
that there's no reason.

If you love someone for a reason,

you will end up changing your heart

when you don't have those reasons anymore.

I like you for no reason.

I like you just the way you are.

Don't laugh at me like that.

I feel terrible and ignored
when you do that.

I guess you're ready to write the words
for your songs, too.

You're so mean!

I just don't know why I like you!

How have you been, ma'am?

It's me, Joo-yeon.

I'm writing in case you're worried.
I got your business card from my mom.

Wan and I are...

There's no reason for liking you,

but that's why this is love.

I like you for no reason.

I like you just the way you are.

Wan and I are doing well.

We met again after 17 years,

but we get along well just like
when we were kids.

Come outside for dinner.

No, thanks. I'm not hungry.

That means you haven't eaten yet.

To me, Wan is like my own brother, and...

This is my mom's business card.

What are you doing?

Will you go away?

You're letting my mom know what I'm doing?
You think I'm a kid?

This is what I did when you were a kid.

Wan ate this and did that today.
And he went to bed at this time.

That's why I don't like you.

You remind me of when I was a kid.

When I got back home,
there was a cranky boy crying and howling

and he didn't go away even at night.

I hoped you would go home on weekends

but your busy mom never picked you up.

You're really mean.

I felt at home when I was in your house.

Of course you did.
My family took great care of you.

We were worried if the only son
from a rich family

would hurt himself or get bruises
while crawling around.

You were our bread and butter,
since we had no father!

Honey! The way you talk is so brutal.
You need to break that habit.

Was it my fault that my mom was busy?

You left your diary here before, right?

It's right here.

It looks like it's important to you,
so take it back.

By the way, the memories in your diary

are wrong.

You were a vicious brat.

Is the memory of making a snowman
for three hours

beautiful to you?

I was freezing to death

just to play with you.

Guess why I had my haircut?

That's because you put chewing gum
on my hair.

And the piggy bank you gave me
on my birthday

was your mom's.
You stole it from her and gave it to me.

I was accused of stealing it.

Did you forget all that already?

He always provokes me to say mean things.

Hey!

Where are you going at this hour?

I'm not a kid.

Are you worried I would get lost?

Listen to yourself.

You're just the same as
when you were a kid.

It's a memory that

I have completely forgotten.

No.

It's a memory that I heard from my mom.

She said I always got cranky
when I was sleepy,

so Shingshing often had to take me
outside.

While Shingshing walked around
with me on her back in the cold,

I finally fell asleep, she said.

Shingshing was probably
ten years old back then.

Was it

hard for her?

And for that,

did she hate me

and get annoyed with me?

Go to sleep. Please!

I guess it was hard for her.

It was cold.

She should have worn something warm.

You hit me, too.

Where are you?

Hurry and come home.

Your clothes didn't look warm,
you'll catch a cold.

And if you do, I'm the one
who will have a hard time!

Seriously, why do I like a woman like her?

Do you want me to buy
some baked sweet potatoes?

No! Of all the food, why did
I pick sweet potatoes?

Yes. Get the ones that look like you.

See?

Look at this. I knew it. Gosh.

You had dinner.

You just set up the table
with what I made this morning.

So you should thank me for being so kind.

What are these?
These aren't sweet potatoes.

No sweet potato is as handsome as me.

Wow.

You have a lot of nerve saying that.

It's because I was a kid.

I was a kid back then.

I'm sorry if I was mean to you,

and I'm sorry that I remembered things
the way I wanted to.

I'm sorry about everything.

If you're sorry, stop this.

This thing about you liking me.

I feel uncomfortable.

I hope you ask me some day

when I started to like you even more

and why.

That day, I can clearly say it was today.

I'll say I could understand you better
because I felt sorry,

and I started to like you more
as I could understand you.

And,

just like I understand now
how you felt 20 years ago,

I hope you'll understand
how I feel now that day.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

I think we work perfectly lately.
Don't you think?

I feel really lucky

that we're teammates, Woo-young.

I feel lucky too

because I have a lot
of fun working with you.

Are you still at work?

It's been too long since we last met up.

It was from my boyfriend.

You probably don't see him
often since you're busy, do you?

It's not that.

It's just that,

I got tired of him.

What's wrong with me?

Just let it out and cry.

The evil manager is not here anyway.

I'm really tired

of this kind of relationship.

A relationship
that requires a lot of effort.

We always have to save money,
restrain our feelings

and postpone things we want to do
until he passes the exam.

How about giving up
that relationship then?

You always work yourself too hard.

I'm not so sure,

but if you have to try really hard
to make your relationship work,

it should change.

You and I

have different perspectives.

I think...

working hard is the only way
for me to survive.

Don't hold it back and just cry.

Are you crazy?

I really want to die.

-Why did you do that?
-What?

There's no reason for kissing.

You just kiss when your eyes meet
with his.

She has a boyfriend!

That's what I'm saying.

I really don't know.

I know he's a great man,

but I haven't fallen for him.

You can fall for him from now on.
It doesn't matter.

What about her boyfriend?

You can have it both ways
as long as you can hide it,

and then marry just one of them.
It's the law, you know.

Don't listen to her. That's nonsense.

Do you think I should tell
my boyfriend what happened?

-Are you crazy?
-Are you crazy?

But we never had secrets.

I couldn't fall asleep all night
because I felt guilty.

Do you want to make him through hell

just because you want to feel unburdened?

So, how was it?

You liked it, didn't you?

I think I did because I was tipsy.

I really feel sorry for my boyfriend.

Everyone's here so early today.

Working...

She kissed someone.

Min-jung!

She has a boyfriend, too.

But she liked it, she said.

Who in the world is the guy, by the way?

You always work overtime,
so where did you meet this guy?

What's your secret?

Stop it. We have a meeting
with the production team.

Woo-young! You see what she does?

She dates two guys at the same time,
so why can't you date one?

Is there something wrong with you?

Stop it and let's go!

Gosh.

There's no secrets in this place.

So why did you kiss me?

You knew I had a boyfriend.

I just pecked on your lips!

I don't exactly know
why I did that though.

-But you...
-I forgot!

I need to go to the ladies' room.

Why did she leave all of a sudden?

Easy items with witty and trendy details.

If we keep that style
and make a second brand,

I think it'll definitely work
for home shopping channels.

I like it, too.

They are getting attention overseas, too.

Most likely it will become a global brand.

We need a designer first.

Try to contact one as soon as possible.

I got this chance
to meet him through my friend,

but it's not going to be easy.

He's been trying to be
a high fashion designer.

So he might not want to be
in home shopping.

Since this is our first meeting,
let's not pressure him.

Let's just say hi.

Hey!

-Hello.
-Hello.

He has some visitors,
so you need to wait a little.

Did you give him our business plan?

Yes, I did.

Did you give Se-ryeong his name?

-No.
-No.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I heard about you through Tae-min.

I heard he refused without hesitation.

But he's going to help since I'm involved.

You work too much these days.

Do you think you can handle this too?

Don't worry. You know what I'm capable of.

There's a phone call for you.

I have to excuse myself.

Seung-geon was not
on the list you gave me.

We found him after we sent you the list.

Things can get added as you proceed
with a project.

You should have shared information, then.

Why didn't you, then?

If you had a designer in mind

you should have told us as well.

Why do you think I didn't?

Because you don't probably consider us
as one team.

That's right.

I don't think we are a team.

You guys should just help me
with what I need.

So you are saying
you'll take all the credit?

Yes. I hate sharing things with others.

So I'll work with Seung-geon.

Do we understand each other?

Argh!

If I were driving,
I would totally run into her.

Let's take this as a chance
and be positive.

If Se-ryeong does this right,
that's good for us as well.

I know that,

but I can't think rationally.

I'd like to survive without her,

and if we are to die,
we should take Se-ryeong with us.

I agree. I don't want to see her shining
when we are in the dark.

Why on earth can't men say no
to Se-ryeong?

And they can't get over her
once they fall in love with her.

There was a guy whose life
was totally ruined for a year.

Mr. Kang, remember?

-Who?
-Hey, red light!

She dated Tae-yoon a while back.

-How do you know?
-He was in my team.

You just joined Team Three back then.

Se-ryeong was a stylist
who just started her career back then.

I heard she dumped him
when she became successful.

-Tae-yoon was dumped?
-Totally.

Who did she think she was
when she dumped Tae-yoon?

He totally got messed up
after she broke up with him.

Almighty Tae-yoon Kang took a year off.

Don't you remember?

He was wandering around
in the desert as if he was crazy,

and the director went there
and brought him back.

The light has changed.

Okay.

Can you drop me off over there?

Pull it over!

What?

Where?

Over there.

She didn't even ask me
why I asked her to drop me off here.

It's Friday today.

How did it go? Did you meet the designer?

What are you doing?

Are you allowed to drink in the office?

Do you want to join me?

GANGSAN SOJU

This is Woo-young's desk, isn't it?

I found this out
when I was looking for a stapler.

Just leave him alone.

We used to do that too, a long time ago.

And, it's after nine o'clock.

Things didn't go well?

Se-ryeong snatched it.

She was a step ahead of us.

You didn't give her the list,

did you?

Why do you ask?

I'm just curious.

I heard you two dated

a while back.

Se-ryeong

is really not a good person.

I know her well since we went
to the same high school.

Do you know when she made her
breakthrough as a stylist?

It was after she worked
for the congressman, Il-gook Kang.

And back then,
there were rumors about her...

Why am I talking behind her back?

I'm done reporting. I'm heading home now.

Do you know how I feel, by the way?

I feel like you are as bad as her.

I can't believe someone who I look up to

loved a woman like her.

I'm disappointed in you.

I shouldn't have said
all those mean things.

I was just tired.

I can't come home tonight.

Lock the door before going to bed.

Why is he not coming home?

How's your new place?

Do you like it there?

Yes. Overall, it's good.

There is a park and a library nearby.

But,

the woman next door is a little weird.

What about her?

What's so weird about her?

I heard she's an old single woman.

An old single woman?

How old is she?

I heard she's about forty,

but everybody in my building calls her
the old single lady.

I guess it's her nickname.

You have some mean neighbors.

She is a weird old lady, anyway.

I think she gets out
of her apartment quite often,

but I don't understand why
she tries to avoid people.

Maybe she has a social phobia.

I'm concerned about her.

Some single people get locked
in their apartments and die.

It's cold these days.

What... gosh!

That's nonsense!

What made you think like that?

Woo-young, hold on.

What are you doing?

You have a gray hair.

Look at this.

Did you pluck this

from my hair?

Is it really my hair?

Don't worry.

Some people in their twenties
have grey hair.

Wait.

Isn't that the man?

You came here often to wait for her.

And now she's finally here!

She has grown big!

She had some skin troubles.

She seems okay now.

Yes. We have to take her
to the vet quite often.

She gets sick
when we don't pay attention to her.

She gets really jealous, too.

I'll get the bottle of Galliano
that I left with you before.

Yes.

Can I get one more glass too, please?

You can't even look me in the eyes yet.

You don't think I can?

It's been a while
since our faces were this close.

You are still easy, I guess.

Everything is easy for you.

It's hard for me too.

Smiling at a man who looks mad at me

is not easy.

But smiling at someone
to get what you want is your gift.

That's right.

I'm gifted that way.

But

this smile is from my heart.

I want to start over again with you.

But I don't want to.

So I take that you don't like me.

You

still hate me.

Now that you know,
don't ever try to play that game with me.

I was offended three years ago,
and I'm offended now, too.

But do you know something?

If there's no love,

there's no hatred, either.

That's my hope,

the hope I can get you back.

So keep hating me.

I'll buy another bottle
and leave it here for this man.

I'll come and drink later.

This detail will certainly charm you
and you have the chance to...

She is a world-wide
top wedding dress maker,

and the fashion items used are...

So we can't take a long time
showing you this.

This is the fourth limited edition
that we prepared...

Hello? Hi, Tae-yoon. This is Joo-yeon.

I think I went too far earlier,

and I felt bad after talking
behind someone's back...

Hello?

He called a designated driver
and fell asleep here.

I tried, but he won't wake up.

He drank too much.

I really hope she knows
how much I care for her.

I drove all night
just to make breakfast for her.

Shingshing, you're still home, right?

Hey.

You said you weren't coming home today.

Whose shoes are those?

I have a guest.

I know. It must be a man, too.

You think how I feel about you is trivial,

but don't you think
this is too harsh when we live together?

You said you weren't coming home today.
Why are you here?

Who are you?

Who's asking?

-What's wrong? He's just my colleague.
-What are you...

-You let him sleep in my room?
-Hey!

He slept with me in my room! So what?

When he sees that your car is still here,
he'll go crazy.

He likes you, doesn't he?

-You didn't go home last night?
-It's none of your business.

He stayed over at my place.

Wait for me, Tae-yoon!

Didn't your menstrual cycle get longer?

And you must have felt hot flashes, too.

Those are the symptoms of menopause.

I always carried it with me
to get your autograph.

You couldn't ask me in the office
because of Joo-yeon?

I can't do this.
My heart is pounding too much.

If we are going to use my name,
I can't take those clothes.

Let's make shows separately.

I'll make this work.

Things may not go your way
even if you want them to.
