Because This Is My First Life

I'm a melodrama
♫ All day ♫

From the shelf . . .

assistant writer.

The amount due from your loan amount of ₩187,259,000.

₩864,000.93.

You're becoming an aunt.

- Dad! Dad! Dad!
- It's a son.

The game's over.

- Townhouse?
- The owner wants you to move in immediately.
- I can go right now.

♫ Again today, I walk without knowing ♫

Yoon Ji Ho
♫ Lalalalalalala lalalalalalala ♫

♫ Do you remember those times? ♫

It's because I was so embarrassed.
♫ Lalalalalalala lalalalalalala ♫

I'm 30 years of age, and I can't even decipher what a man's kindness means.

Twenty years old, thirty years, the part in charge of those time-related concepts

is the neocortex on the outer layer of the brain.

Thirty years, forty years, it's the same thing every day.

That day, more than other words, I was comforted by his strange words.

Hello! You were hom—

I... Because of your name, I thought you were a woman.

Did you, by any chance, redo the grout on the bathroom tiles?

Did you also clean the living room windows?

Yes, when I write, I have a habit of cleaning.

I see.

I left without saying goodbye.

Who is it?

When I made the decision to making a living off of my dream, I knew my life now

was like walking alone in a dark tunnel.

Still, I didn't know it would be this dark.

I also didn't know it would be this lonely.

Excuse me, I have something to say.

Yes.

Perhaps, if you have some time...

Yes.

Would you marry me?

Yes.

What?!

D-Do what?

Marriage.

Why would I... Marry...

Why would we marry each other? No, why would a house owner and their tenant do that

type of thing?!

Never mind. Just pretend you didn't hear it.

- What?
- I misspoke. Please don't worry about it.

Then, good night.

I left the sheets in the room the way they were.

Since I'm washing the pillow cover, I'll give you a new—

No. It's fine.

It's not very sanitary to sleep without a cover.

No! I'm about to leave.

I told you that I was just out for a walk.

Then, I'll be leaving now. Thank you for the beer.

Car taxi

Gayang-dong

Mangwon-dong

There's seriously no place for me to go.

House owner

I wanted to tell you that taxis don't run at this hour.

The passcode is still the same.

Perhaps, if you have some time...

Would you marry me?

He definitely

said the word marriage.

Why does he always lock the door? Just who should be the one locking their own door? Is he joking with me right now? Seriously?

Marriage? We just met each other. How can he say such things and still lock the door?

Ah, seriously. I'm leaving immediately on the first subway tomorrow.

Yes, it's Unit 401. I think my neighbor is getting a renovation done without informing me.

Yes.

I guess it wasn't the sound of construction.

I will leave when the subway starts running.

I won't be there when you wake up, so I'm saying my goodbye in advance.

Let's just pretend I didn't hear anything.

The customer cannot be reached. After the beep please—

Oh, it's me. Why isn't Ji Ho not picking up? She's not even checking my messages.

Really? Did she go to a meeting?

Ho Rang, I'm hanging up first.

- So what if that happens?
- Still, that shouldn't.

- That's right...

Oh? Deputy Woo!

- Did you come out to get some fresh air?
- Yes.

Since you're here, why don't you smoke a cigarette with us too?

Deputy, you can't be saying that stuff.

It's fine. It's Deputy Woo.

- It's really fine.
- Yes, she'll be fine.

The customer cannot be reached. After the beep please—

She really isn't picking up.

I was just wondering why you aren't coming today.

There isn't much time left for this.

Instead of touching it every day, just buy it.

Really? This can't be happening. I really wanted to buy this to put in my house when I get married.

- Will it not be out again next year?
- Next year?

Just tell your boyfriend to quickly get married.

You should do it before all your beauty fades.

It's just that he's such a busy person. He graduated from Seoul National University.

Really? What does he do?

Even if I tell you, you won't know. He works a very complicated job.

Ah, you're bragging.

5:00 pm

Ah, that scared me.

I barely got two hours of sleep, and yet I feel so very refreshed.

How are you eating at 5 am?

No, no, no. Shhh. Your owner will wake up.

Eat quietly please.

Where are you coming from?

- The company.
- At this time?

Yes.

Perhaps, did you wake up just now?

Yes.

- At this time?
- Yes.

I'm sure that I told you last night that I'd take the first bus out.

Not the last bus?

The last bus?

Your words are a bit harsh. How could you tell me take the last bus?

What in the world did you think of me to say that?

You're being a bit harsh since last night.

I was so upset that I tossed and turned all last night, barely sleeping two hours.

How could you say that to someone who woke up at the crack of dawn to take the first bus?

Were you always such a rude person?

I merely told you the facts.

Right now, the first bus is not running.

- What?
- Right now...

It's 5 pm. You cannot take the first bus. You would take the last.

It's not 5 am, but 5 pm?

- Yes.
- So I

didn't sleep two hours—

To be exact, you slept for fourteen hours.

Is this...for real?

Yes, this is for real.

I set the alarm incorrectly.

I was really going to take the first bus out.

Yes, you were so deeply asleep, I wasn't able to wake you.

You must not have been able to sleep lately.

The place you're staying at right now must not be comfortable.

Why are you...

like that to me?

Why are you so nice to me?

- Me?
- Yes.

You gave me the bigger ramen and gave me a new pillowcase.

- That's because—
- You even asked me to marry you.

I told you to pretend not to hear that yester—

But I heard you.

- Just, don't trouble yourself with—
- But it does trouble me.

The noodles are going to be overcooked. Let's eat.

Do you perhaps... like me?

- Episode 3 -
Because this is my first proposal.

Do you perhaps like me?

No.

I gave you that cup ramen because I can't eat spicy things.

The reason why I gave you new pillow covers is because it is unhygienic for the bedding if you slept without it.

And marriage...

I asked you because it's something I need.

- You need it?
- Yes.

If I had to get married, I thought that you would be the best person.

I mean, what about me? How did you reach that conclusion?

I need someone who will stay at home to take care of the house, and you need a home.

I need monthly rent, and you need a room without a deposit.

Aren't these the best conditions for living together?

So that's why I asked. There was no other meaning.

I mean still, how could you bring up marriage?

How could you get married for an apartment?

Then why do you think people get married?

I mean... Affection, love,

those kinds of things.

That's right. That's what people normally think.

However, affection, love, and those things,

do you need them right now

more than a house?

Right now...

Not right now, but it's something I'll need someday,

even for someone like me.

I see.

I thought you were a person in a similar category as me.

It was my error in judgement.

Please pretend you didn't hear what I said today.

Then, take your time eating before you leave.

Deputy Oh! I see you haven't gone home for the day yet?

Ah, no. I have to wrap this up.

Ahhhh. That's tomorrow.

You should make the newbies do this kind of thing. You're on a higher level than this.

Don't be too nice to the newbies just because you're a woman. When you make them do errands, go hard.

Are you not getting off work?

I mean, I have some work left to do,

but since you're here, it looks like I can leave earlier.

Sorry? What does my being here have to do with you leaving early?

Ahhh so that's... Though it doesn't have to do anything specifically with you, the way people see this...

- Sorry?
- The other day, our department manager said something like this.

He said to make an effort not to work alone late at night with an unmarried female coworker.

It's a bit weird. Of course, since you're not married you wouldn't know,

but married men, like myself, have to be careful.

If I get tangled up in a web of rumors with a female coworker—

Well then, I'll get off work first.

Wait, you don't have to leave so early just because I said that.

****ing bastard.

Thank you. Have a nice day!

Closed

- Okay, let's clean up the restaurant in ten minutes and get off work on time.
- Yes.

- Wipe this down one more time, please.
- Yes.
- Seulgi?

Yes.

- Let's go there.
- Sounds tasty!

Hey, hey, hey. Isn't that guy so cute?

Yes, he's totally my style.

He's so good looking.

Wait, isn't that the manager's boyfriend?

- Daebak.
- Sorry, I didn't know.

Isn't he good looking? I'm going to go first. See you tomorrow!

- Bye.
- Bye!

- Won Seok!
- Aigoo. You worked hard.

So cute.

Wait, didn't the manager say she's been in a really long-term relationship?

I think it was seven years?

But he comes to pick her up every time she gets off work late.

- Isn't that amazing?
- I'm so jealous.

- I'm so jealous!
- He's cool.

What did you do today?

Today? I had incredible results today.

Did you find investors? Is someone interested in investing?

Here, look at this. It's a graph I finished making yesterday. Isn't it really pretty?

See? It kind of looks like a constellation.

I think what Carl Sagan said is really true. In the end, humans and space are connected.

Isn't it really beautiful?

Yup. It looks like the neighborhood leek pancake.

Seok, the sofa that I told you before...

What? Oh, that new one at the shop?

Yeah. They said there are not many left.

That's why they all say—the usual buyers will buy.

Even if the economy is in a recession, those who usually buy things like that end up buying them in the end.

They said a lot of newlywed couples buy that. It's the perfect size for a newlywed house.

Rang. That's why they also say—the usual doers will always do.

Even if they say we're at a dip in birth rates, the usual doers will end up doing it all in the end.

Geez, South Korea still has a long way to go. Really.

Rang, did something bad happen at the store today?

No. It was a totally productive day.

Why did she get mad? I didn't do anything though.

Did I do something wrong? I'm going crazy.

- Seok!
- Yes, ma'am!
- Do you know the address of the house where Ji Ho lives?

Soo Ji's asking because she just can't get a hold of Ji Ho.

Oh, Ji Ho? She left that house last week.

- What?!
- You guys didn't know?

Then, where has she been sleeping all this time then?

I thought that you were in the same category as me.

What in the world does that even mean?

Same category?

- Wow, daebak.
- Pajamas!

Hey, Soo Ji. It's me.

Hey! Where are you? Ignored my calls and my texts!

Sorry, sorry. I'll tell you what's going on in greater detail later.

I am in the neighborhood of the house where I used to live.

We're around there already. Whereabout in the neighborhood?

Really? I'm at the bus stop.

Oh, I see a bus stop. Some crazy chick is sitting there in pajamas.

Where are you?

Oh.

Well...that's me.

Ji Ho! Did you sleep out on the streets?

Hey, hey!

Gosh!!!

So you left wearing just your pj's?

This ******* bastard! We should ****** eat him for breakfast.

Do your lead writer and director know about what happened?

That crazy ****. That guy doesn't even deserve to be chopped to pieces, ****.

Hey! What's his number?

Oh my gosh, let's listen to her first!

No one knows. I just up and left everything behind and got out of there.

You should have at least told us.

We didn't even know you were eating and sleeping at your studio.

You should have called me. Why did you go to that home owner's place at that time of the night anyway?

Oh, you know. Just after I had walked a while.

What do you mean "after I had walked a while"? It's miles and miles away from your studio.

Ji Ho. You have something going on with him, don't you?

Something lovey-dovey?

It's not like that. Lovey-dovey? Whatever...

Nah. Something's up.

No, really. Nothing's going on.

Aye! Your eyes are flickering though!

I told you no!

Okay, okay. Don't get mad at me about it.

Hey, head in first. Won Seok is probably worrying about you.

Ji Ho. I'm heading to my place, okay?

Hello. My name is Hwang Jae Hyun, the person Mr. Nam is introducing you to.

Yes. Hello. Nice to meet you.

"I believe in fate."

Ah...darn it.

How does some time tomorrow work for you?

Why are you working on the floor? The bed's right there.

No, no. How could a guest even attempt to sleep on the floor?

Don't you know I like the floor?

- Ji Ho. I can work, right?
- Yep!

I have a big event coming up.

- Demo day?
- Yeah.

It's an event where we're organizing an opportunity for startups and investors to meet.

It's like blind dating, but for startups.

"Dating, Not Marriage." That's a unique name for a company.

It's a blind dating app. Haven't you tried it before?

So if you upload your picture, people can score you.

A score?

According to the score, you're assigned a level. And then you're matched with a guy at the same level as you.

- So you mean I can't meet a guy that is a higher level than me?
- Nope.

If you want to, you need to pay up.

Amazing, huh?

What in the world? It's not like it's a caste system or anything.

This seems like an offensive thing to do though.

They have a ton of users already. Our most anticipated start up, out of the companies attending the event, is this one too.

The investors are all eyeing them.

People these days. They're so tough.

Of course. In Hell-Joseon (what young South Koreans call Korea due to the difficult lifestyle) you have to be tough to date. Otherwise you just can't.

Now mating has even become a competitive playing field. You know what I'm sayin' baby?

Yeah, baby.

Wow, do you have a hole in your chin or something? Why are you dropping so much food?

People are simpler than we think. Our app honed in on that notion.

Why do so many people fail at blind dates?

"I have a feeling" or "I can really talk to them." Aren't such things much too subjective?

We decided to be a bit more honest.

We wanted to strike at mankind's most basic instincts and created an app around them.

The fact that men look first at a woman's physical appearance, and women look first at a man's competence.

Of course, we also factored in physical distance.

We introduce you to people in order of increasing physical distance.

As a result, we have seen 350,000 new users in the past 5 months and have hit ₩380,000,000 of income per month.

One thing.

Yes?

Why is the name of the app, "Dating, Not Marriage"?

Wouldn't it be better to emphasize marriage as it is the pinnacle of successful love?

Why is marriage the pinnacle of successful love?

Well the purpose of dating is to get married. So why wouldn't it be the result of successful love?

Marriage is restricting. Especially in modern times, marriage is but a social construct that exists for the purpose of preserving one's DNA.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The result of love? That the false hope of fools who are falling behind the times

and want to perpetuate the construct of marriage in the name of love.

What the heck? Why is he being like that?

So you're saying that I, or my generation, are falling behind the times?

Well, no. No.

The name of our app and the direction we want this to go is, "Dating, Not Marriage."

Marriage is something that can change in purpose and process according to each individual's values.

However, dating will always share one thing,

and that is love.

Love is also a science. No calls, no "feelings." Let's date with data. Dating, not Marriage!

So he knows how to sell a drug or two.

I told you not to take questions.

You just have to show the investors your perfectly normal face. Is that so much to ask of you?

For one moment and second, is it so hard for you to pretend to be a normal human being and—

Nam Se Hee, your presentation was awesome. Simply the best.

Hey. Where are you going? You need to be at the networking event.

I don't know all that, so why doesn't a normal person like you go to it?

He's the type that holds grudges. He's like attractive sandpaper.

I'm going to sand that sandpaper down.

The door is locked. I came to pick up my things.

The door is locked. Please hand me my things.

Hand me back my things, you bastard.

Writer Yoon, here's some coffee. You just drink this, right?

Thank you.

Drink up.

- Are you still mad?
- Sorry?

No.

- It's not that I'm mad but—
- I know.

I'm sorry.

I've thought about it, and I think what you said is right.

I always say I want something new and creative, but

in the end, we do what we always do.

That rice with that vegetable, mixing them, blending them.

However, when I first debuted, I wasn't like this.

But because I wanted to try to survive, I ended up like this.

It isn't like we just started working with each other. It's already five years.

You know that more than anyone, I'm the one that wants you to succeed the most.

It's me. Do you know that?

I know, and I'm very appreciative of it.

You know, but you still do that?

You're smiling. Get up. Let's go somewhere and have a drink today.

- Just you and me?
- Yeah, do you not want to?

Oh, no. It's not that, but you don't drink very often.

So what? I'll only drink today.

Let's go.

Writer, thank you.

What's wrong with you?

Let's go. You still have some left.

Match meeting by rating level. That's some new caste system.

What are your projected sales?

Last week we had the version update, so probably a rise of 300% or higher.

That's my prediction, which I say with modesty and embarrassment.

Wow. Then you won't need venture capitalists like us.

Absolutely not true. You are as precious to our growth as a mother's breast milk.

Please continue to give us a good push until we go IPO.

CEO Ma's attitude is just so great.

He's not like the young CEOs these days.

- Oh, Deputy Park.
- Oh, CEO!

- You've worked hard.
- Nice to meet you.

- Your investor relations work was pretty impressive.
- Ah, it's nothing.
- Don't you agree, Deputy Woo?

Yes. I love the clear message from it.

Deputy Woo, have you used this app before?

Someone like you should get at least a diamond grade.

Sadly, it didn't happen.

No way. Is it because you only upload pictures of your face?

You should have uploaded a full-shot picture of yourself.

Oh yeah? Our Deputy Woo's full-shot was that incredible?

I'm learning this for the first time.

Of course. Not only is she smart, she also has a great figure. She's an ace.

- She's also—
- Deputy Park.

I'm sorry, but do you have a cigarette?

- I left mine in the car.
- Cigarette.

- Do you want to come out and smoke with us?
- Should I?
- That would be great.

This way then. This way.

Wait a second. Wait. Deputy Woo, you should also go with us.

Goodbye.

Smoking is best done on the rooftop.

By any chance, do you remember me?

Ah, at the wedding?

Yes, that's right. We met each other at the wedding, right?

- The world's a small place.
- I know, right?

Besides the wedding, do you remember anything else?

The rooftop party last year.

I lit your cigarette for you like I did now, and we chatted and had beer together.

Ah, at that time you drank cocktails, and afterward, we—

Oh, okay, okay. It looks like you'd rather not be acknowledged. I shouldn't—

No, it's one thing if you didn't mention anything, but since you brought it up, it's courtesy to finish it.

We slept together that day.

I was going to pretend like I didn't know you for your sake, but since you insist . . .

Last year, I

slept with you?

No, you really don't remember? Okay, here.

No. 303. The room we stayed in.

Ah, how can you forget about that?!

We were totally into it at that time. Do you not remember?

I'm sorry. Normally, I remember the guys I sleep with, but

if I don't have a single memory of you.

I guess you didn't leave that great of an impression.

She can't remember me? Where did all the great memories go?

Were all my highly impressionable actions forgotten?

- This place has great ambiance, right?
- Yes, it's really great.

- Cheers.
- There.

I heard Yong Seok found a place for Writer Yoon.

Looking at you two, you really share a special relationship. It's a great sight.

That's right. I like how kids nowadays can befriend opposite genders.

You know during our time, there was no way that happened. There was no way a girl and a guy could be friends.

Even spending a night together in one place— Oh, the rumors. Don't even mention it.

Yup, rumors back then. For that, we really had some serious heartache, too.

Omo. I don't know about me but not in your case.

You really liked me back then.

Why are you being like this? Stop it. Why are you bringing that up now? Stop.

How can you change so much?

Hey, Writer Yoon. Do you want to receive a glass from me?

Here.

It's like that when you look at places where youngsters work.

All sorts of stuff happens. It's all the same everywhere you go. Such a common thing.

You little rascal.

Hurry and apologize to Writer Yoon.

I heard he made a big mistake towards you.

That's why I chastised him good yesterday.

Yong Seok said he wanted to apologize to you,

- so I brought him here.
- Yup, good job.

Writer, because I was so drunk, I must've gone crazy.

I'm really sorry.

Yong Seok! I was really going to kill you, you know.

But because of Director Park, I held it in. Do you know that?

What. . .

are you all doing right now?

Why. . .

are you yelling at your assistant director, Director?

What are you holding in, Writer?

I'm obviously. . .

the victim here.

Victim? Your words are a bit too much.

I was sexually harassed. No, it was attempted sexual assault,

so I should be called a victim. What else is more appropriate to say?

What do you mean sexually assaulted?

- Writer Yoon, why are you using such harsh words?
- Just shut up, before I send you to prison.

Writer Yoon, your words are too harsh.

Huh? We're all like family here, so is there a need to do this?

We're all gathered here together because of you, to apologize.

Right? Why did you make me come here?

Why do I have to...

accept his apology like this?

Wait. Writer Yoon,

It's because we're all too precious to each other.

We don't want to ruin this teamwork, so we're trying our best here.

Your best work?

Is this trying your best?

I got hit by a rock as I was walking on the street and I'm bleeding.

Trying hard is to carry me on your back to run to the hospital, no?

"You're not bleeding. You're fine. Just keep walking."

Just dragging me forcibly is what you call trying hard?

When the actual person is in so much pain from all the bleeding?

Writer Yoon, do you think this is some college club meeting?

If you are so whiny about such a small thing, how are you going to make any dramas?

Drama? This is teamwork.

You coming to where you are now and in the future as well,

without us, it would be hard for your script to secure even a single air slot. Do you know that?

Yes.

I know.

So I'm not going to do drama anymore.

I won't do it again.

So, please don't contact me.

Yoon Ji Ho—

- Good day.
- Hyeon Jin Geon

You did well.

You really did well, Yoon Ji Ho.

You didn't cry and held it in well.

Here. One more glass.

Huh? I already had five glasses though.

What do you mean already? You mean you've only had five so far.

Usually, on the day that you quit, you should be drinking all night.

That's right. You can just drink and vomit, drink and vomit again. We'll take care of everything else.

You guys are scary. I thought you were going to comfort me!

That's why! Now, for comfort!

Cheers!

I really can't drink anymore. I feel like my stomach is about to burst.

Really? Then now that we've filled our bellies, should we head out?

- Where?
- We need to go to the karaoke!

No, no, no! Wait. I really can't.

We'll only sing ballad songs.

Let's go!

Soo Ji and Ho Rang have always been like this.

If I'm going through something very difficult, they don't ask why it happened or how it happened

like other people usually would.

We just laughed hard and talked like usual.

The truth is, is there anything more comforting than that?

What?

Did you really send the email?

Why would you do it like that?

Okay. I will look into it.

Why? Do you need to go?

It's an important client, and things just got twisted.

This is why I was going to have my phone turned off.

No, no. Hurry and go. It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Yes, Manager.

I'm sorry.

You said we were going to drink all night.

Honey

Hey, Won Seok.

So heavy.

You were the one who quit, so why is she the one knocked out?

I know. She can't even drink.

It's so late, so how will you go? Sleep at our place.

Hey, we are not twenty, but thirty.

Hey, a taxi is here.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

But still, everyone has a place to return to.

The day's bus operations have terminated.

Except me.

Why am I always like this on the streets?

Mom

Yeah, it's Ji Ho.

Where are you? Aren't you sleeping?

Yeah. I'm still out.

Something happened.

Go home early. Living with someone and going home late is a nuisance.

I am on my way.

Clean your room, too. And wash the cups that you use.

Okay.

Even after you have dried your hair, don't just come out.

Be it morning or night, clean—

Okay! I said okay already!

Why are you getting annoyed? I'm only saying this for your own good.

What more could I do better?

If I do well, do you think that's all?

You don't even know.

Okay.

Hurry and go. Eat too.

I'm hanging up.

Ji Ho.

Yeah.

If Seoul is so cold, you can come down here.

Here, your room is still the same.

You can come any time, okay?

♫ Please be my house forever ♫

♫ Just briefly, I will entrust my injured heart in your care ♫

♫ When you pass by, you may carelessly look at it ♫

Oh. One second.

Please take this with you.

Did it come for me?

Yes. Some man left it here for room 401.

Yes.

Because you told me not to contact you, I'm leaving the bag here. I'm sorry. - Yong Seok

My bag.

Your luggage was in the security office, so I took it.

Ahh.

My workplace must have sent it to the address on my contract.

I'm sorry. Can I get it today?

Yes. Come when it's comfortable for you.

What is this? What is this? How long has it been since I've had breakfast?

Eat at least a little every day. How could everything Ahjumma sends be left just as is?

Hey, my mom has big hands (generous portions).

Should we have a day drink on the weekend?

Soo Ji.

Today, I will be heading down to Namhae.

Right. Go and rest, then come back.

No. I will be staying there

after I settle things here in Seoul.

Huh?

The project is down the drain, and there's nothing to do here.

If it's about the house, you can stay here. I'm really fine with it.

It's not about the house.

It's just... Seoul's weather

is so cold. I'm tired of it.

I'm heading down.

Your call cannot be connected.

Is he not in?

Kitty, how are you?

Did you eat? Come here.

Because you said not to contact you, I'm just leaving your bag.

I'm sorry.

I don't dare to throw it out with my own hands,

so I will leave these here.

Please recycle it for me.

Hello.

Why did you do that?

No. How could you cause that trouble in someone else's house?

What did you say that you would receive?

- Rent.
- Are you in your right mind?

Why would you receive rent from a woman you would be getting married to?

Because I need rent.

That woman brought up first how she's going to quit her job after getting married, have a child, and go on trips together.

I want to receive rent from the person I live with,

would like her to recycle, and want her to clean the cat's poop. I told her that.

- What about that?
- What do you mean?

No, no matter how much you didn't like her,

is that something normal to say in a marriage meeting?

Yup, certainly not normal.

What's "normal" then?

Just like others, give out love and receive love.

Live like that, then have babies, and live happily and ordinarily.

- How's that ordinary?
- It is ordinary!

That's how everyone else lives. What's so hard about that?

Do you know how much the average cost of getting married is in the Republic of Korea?

Well, with this and that, maybe some ₩50 million or ₩60 million?

₩270 million. And raising a kid costs ₩300 million.

Something that costs such an enormous amount, to someone who can't even tell if ramen cups are made of plastic

or styrofoam, how can I do that with such a woman?

What are you talking about?

Are you trying to hire a patrol guard?

She's young and pretty.

Men get all weak over women like that. How come you're—

Young and pretty? This one's plenty for me.

Son . . . Um, by chance, is there a problem?

Problem?

I mean, due to hormones in our environment these days, men in their thirties start having difficulty in their penis function.

- Mother!
- Oh, I don't know.

You've been branded by the matchmakers now.

We won't be getting any more matches.

So go to Teacher Hwang and beg. I think she's still fond of you.

- Why would I?
- If I end up being divorced because of you,

I'll move in here and live.

- What?
- You know your father better than anyone.

I won't make a long explanation.

Whether it's better to live your life serving an elderly mother,

or whether it's better to keep a young and pretty wife with you and live.

Think that through.

Um...

I'm really sorry.

I thought I shouldn't get caught by your mother.

No, I'm very grateful about that.

But, your belongings. Why...

Did you move out of where you were staying then?

Yes. Actually, I'm going down to Namhae.

But your writing work?

It's been wrapped up.

Thank you for everything, for giving me such a great room.

Thanks to you, I was able to write my first project here, too.

Well, though it failed.

Things will go well for you, no matter what you do, or wherever you are,

since you're a person with a strong sense of responsibility.

Didn't you also score the highest among the tenants I've had?

Yes, things will work out well for you too, Landlord.

For marriage too. Soon a good person will show up.

I don't know about that. Whether she appears and whether I could actually marry.

Why not? You proposed to me too like that.

There's no reason you couldn't.

That was because it was you, Ji Ho.

It's because it was you, that I did that.

Because you're the tenant with the highest score.

What I need isn't marriage, but you, and that's why I made that proposition to you.

I knew that it wasn't exactly the moment where my heart should skip a beat.

Because what I need isn't a good woman, but an outstanding tenant who can guarantee a monthly income.

Nevertheless...

It was my first time

to hear someone tell me I was needed.

- Where are you headed?
- To Namhae. The quickest available.

All throughout my twenties,

I worked hard in order to become someone needed somewhere.

Whenever things were hard, I would cross the Han River bridge.

Crossing over the Han River, in this wide Seoul,

regardless, at least one place would need me,

is what I would think.

Timing and Subtitles Brought to You by the Scrimp & Scrape Team @ Viki!

For ten years, you've really been hit and injured a lot too.

When you came up, you were sparkling.

Seoul to Namhae

♫ Stay with me ♫

Why did I try so hard to live so diligently?

when in the end, I'd just go down without achieving anything.

The likelihood of having a place that's mine here,

it never existed in the first place.

How are you—

- How?
- Why aren't you answering your phone?

Oh. My cell phone ran out of battery, so it's off.

You left this in the room.

You came because of this?

I was heading out anyway.

I remembered you said the evening 7 o'clock bus.

They seemed like items you need.

I do need them.

We're leaving now.

Well then.
♫ Just briefly ♫

Yes.

♫ In weary of hardship ♫

♫ Please be my forever resting place ♫

♫ Just briefly ♫

♫ My injured heart ♫

♫ I will entrust it to you ♫

♫ As you pass by ♫

♫ You can look at it ♫

Because it was you, Ji Ho.

It was because it's you that I did that.

That I am needed.

The person who first said that to me.

The ahjussi is angry right now, so he can't wait long.

I need you to answer quickly.

Yes.

Will you marry me?

I . . . quickly. He's waiting.

Yes.

Then I'll go and get my luggage first.

Ahjussi's very angry.

Wait.

Before that, I have something to ask you.

Yes, go ahead.

By chance, do you . . .

like me?

♫ When the two of us are together ♫

Nope.

♫ I can't help but smile ♫

♫ Sometimes with our eyes evading awkwardly. ♫

Our proposal

has begun.

♫ You are my everything ♫

♫ Open my injured heart, loving you ♫

♫ Come just a bit closer to me ♫

♫ Embrace me snugly ♫

♫ Tell me I will always be special to you ♫

I decided to marry my tenant today.

Really marry? Marrying with a woman?

Though we only knew each other for a short period of time, since he's someone I feel that I really need in life.

- Need?
- Now I know why you want to marry!

Punk! You can fool everyone in the world, but you can't fool me!

- She's pretty.
- Oh, she's pretty?

My family is absolutely patriarchal.

Shall I just sweep everything!

Tada!

I thought he was going to propose to me!

Will you be alright?

Why do you ask about why we're getting married?

I love Oppa.

Indeed. Marrying the tenant was the right answer.
