Episode 9

Dating you was the worst mistake of my life.

I knew you were not the right fit for me.

Even now, do you think that I'm not the right guy for you?

Let's go.

How was that?

I kissed you after 10 years.

How... did you become so pathetic?

How could you make me so sick and tired of you?

I regret ever having feelings for you.

♫ I open my eyes to watch you, did you really leave? ♫

♫ It's so hard to endure, I'm waiting for a fateful kind of destiny ♫

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I long for you while I hate you♫

♫ But I guess I just couldn't help but love ♫

♫ Now the only thing I can do is watch you from afar ♫

♫ If we meet again during the time I still love you ♫

♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you ♫

Ji Eun!

- Have you been with Mr. Seo all this time? - Yeah.

You should really invite him over for dinner sometime.

What does he like? What should I cook for him?

Mom.

What is it?

Let's talk later. I feel so tired today.

By the way, did you tell Mr. Seo that your dad and his dad went to the same school?

One more bottle.

I think you've had enough, sir.

I'm OK. Please give me another bottle.

In that case, please let me pour you one glass.

Have you ever been disliked by someone?

Well,

does someone dislike you?

Yes, there is someone that hates me a lot.

I think there are people in this world who really should never meet.

The caller is unavailable. Please leave a message...

It's me, Dad.

I think you need to come to Korea.

Do you really want to see me dead? You need to come now!

It's not like that. I don't have any problem with Will.

We'll talk when you get here.

Oh, and please don't tell him that I asked you to come to Korea.

President, please wake up. Are you OK?

Are you all right?

I'm OK.

Are you OK?

Come to, President!

What brings you here?

Here, have a seat.

You despicable bitch!

Is acting innocent and fooling other people your specialty?

What do you want to say to me?

Tell me clearly why you even slapped me on the cheek.

Do you really need to hear that from me?

You are really shameless.

What did you do last night with my Will in this exact spot?

I pleaded with you before. I begged you not to shake him.

I asked you not to take him from me.

Would you like me to disappear?

You think I'm bluffing?

I'm fully capable of doing that because...

I have no reason to go on living if it means he's not by my side.

I'll ask you one thing.

Were you with him?

Were you?

Why are you asking me this?

You need to sort out your problems between you two. Why do you keep bothering me?

Fine. Let's go to your place. I'll ask your mother.

It's not like that.

Mi Ran, there is nothing like a misunderstanding to make a fool out of someone.

Misunderstanding? Does that make sense right now?

Lee Ji Eun, this is my last warning.

Don't anger me anymore. If you lie one more time, I will not let it go next time.

Oh, and if you want to run and tell him this, go ahead.

I'm threatening you.

You should know that there is a limit to my patience.

What you just said, it makes it sound like, if I were not using a wheelchair,

you would pull my hair.

The reason I'm taking your abuse unfairly like this is that this is not an issue that concerns me alone.

I'm glad you've realized that.

Then you must know when you need to lie.

There is nothing you can do but endure even if it makes you feel cheated and mad.

All this was your doing. If you can't take it, do as you wish.

I'm going to do as I wish.

Are you here to work out?

That stench! You must have hit the bottle pretty hard last night?

It must be more difficult to love a woman than to run a company.

Did you and Mi Ran have a fight?

No, I just wanted to drink.

Some days you feel the need to drink.

- Yes, that's what I said. - Mom, have breakfast.

Of course I want to see you. Why don't you come and visit?

Mr. Seo, are you busy this evening?

Mom!

How could I turn down your invitation? Of course.

I'll see you tonight then.

That was Ji Eun's mom. She's a funny lady.

From listening to your conversation on the phone, I guess Ji Eun's mom likes you a lot.

Yes, I'm lucky. I would be very upset if her family didn't like me.

Then are you planning on marrying Lee Ji Eun?

Marriage?

If you like someone, do you have to marry her?

You're more old-fashioned than I'd imagined.

I don't know if I'm old fashioned, but you should choose either a lonely free single life,

or a happy restrained life. Either way, you need to make your intentions clear,

so that no one gets hurt in the end. That's what I think.

Of course that could happen. Someone could get hurt.

That someone would be me. Ji Eun said she'd rather pursue her career than get married.

Her career?

She has many surprising talents that we don't know.

She has a quick wit, diligence, perseverance,

and even guts.

I wish I could keep her just to myself, but I don't think that'll happen.

Why can't I invite Mr. Seo to our house?

I know you want Jeong Min.

But we're not really in any kind of relationship.

Then you should make an extra effort to firm up that relationship.

- You're going to regret it the rest of your life if you let him go. - Mom!

I don't want to hear it. Finish your meal quickly so we can hurry and go grocery shopping for dinner.

Come have some breakfast.

Eat your—

Mom, you're really trying so hard.

I'm not giving up on that audition, Ms. Jo, so just carry on as usual.

Y--y-you wretched girl!

What is she talking about?

It's nothing. Don't worry about it.

How could you eat this in one bite... like a brute?

You have your physical therapy today, right?

You didn't forget it?

I don't forget my promises to you.

This is why it's so hard for me to let you go.

We're going to be late. Let's go.

I can't remember the last time we were in a pool together.

It reminds me of how we used to swim together every morning in the fitness club before my accident.

But you didn't know that I drove some two hours just to see you, did you?

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge in the wee hours of the morning, I promised myself.

To make you unable to leave me.

But this was not the way I envisioned it.

I think you're a very strong woman, Mi Ran.

So we're not going to give up on this until the end.

We'll continue your physical therapy, and consider the idea of a spinal transplant.

You're not completely paralyzed, so we must keep hoping.

But if I give up, there can't be any hope.

But if you have no hope, there can be no miracle either.

You never know. Maybe one day you'll just get up and walk again.

I didn't know what to bring, so I brought everything.

You shouldn't have.

This is for you.

For me? How did you know?

I like lilies the most of all flowers!

So fragrant!

What? Mom, you hate lilies. You always say the fragrance of lilies gives you a headache.

- Oh, my headache. - See?

- That's not the headache I'm talking— - I'll bring you different flowers next time.

Come and have a seat.

Thank you.

If you have anything to tell me, now's the time. I have to go to the studio soon.

Here, come have a seat.

I guess you could be my brother-in-law.

I applied for the audition to be your company's main model.

Do you understand why I'm telling you this?

Don't take this the wrong way.

That's not something I can decide on my own.

But I can put in a good word to President Jang.

But don't expect too much to come of it.

He goes by the book, so I can't guarantee anything.

- Are you talking about the new President who was just appointed? - Yes.

Ah! He will marry your sister's friend.

My sister's friend? Which friend of yours?

It's been a while since the two of us ate out alone in a nice restaurant with an atmosphere.

I know... that I'm not a good man.

I can't express myself well, and don't know how to be considerate of women's feelings either.

I can't bring you roses or say, "I love you."

But I can promise one thing.

I... won't leave you.

I won't let you leave me either.

Is it okay for me to stop by frequently?

Of course, you can come here every day.

Then should I live here?

Then do you want to be a son-in-law who lives here?

Mom! Please go inside.

As soon as I send Jeong Min off, I'll come in.

You don't have to come in soon.

Have tea someplace and spend time together.

Yes, Mom.

What are you thinking about so much?

Nothing.

Nothing means there must be something.

Do you have some worries?

Worries... Yes, I have.

I know you're hiding something from me.

What on earth could it be? Of course, I'm very curious.

By chance, do you have a hidden child?

Seeing your smile, that doesn't seem to be it.

Even if you hid a pretty daughter who takes after you, I wouldn't mind at all.

It's true.

Why are you staring me like that?

You want to measure whose mouth is bigger?

Jeong Min, you're a very good person.

I also think so.

I really didn't expect that I would get close to you like this.

I really don't know what to do in the future either.

Then should I teach you?

Without any thoughts, just love each other.

Of course, I understand well you're afraid to start a new relationship because we met after your experience of parting.

But trust me once.

It's not that I don't trust you, Jeong Min.

It's not a problem that concerns me alone.

I'm sorry for not being honest.

I'm really sorry.

I still need more time.

You have tried a long jump, haven't you?

To do well in the long jump, you have to be decisive.

Never hesitate.

If you temporize, you'll never jump long.

Like this.

While swinging your arms forcefully without temporizing, you throw your body boldly. That's a tip.

Just come to me boldly.

- Drink water. - Thank you.

Enjoy it.

Ah... Potatoes that I like...

Ah, aigoo. It's really a hot potato.

Have you eaten a hot potato?

Potato that you can't swallow or spit out.

- My case is just like that. - What do you mean?

When I look at my situation with PD Nam, I can't turn my eyes to other women.

Nor can I just watch a woman who doesn't move at all. I feel frustrated.

Why are you scrunching up your face?

My face is already scrunched up from age.

Don't worry about it. Even if you get very old and wrinkled and your belly flops,

I'll still like you.

Hey, my whole body aches right now from a cold.

You keep touching a raw nerve.

If you ache, shall we go to a spa after filming?

Now that I think about it, in order for Bok Ja to develop some romantic feelings for you,

crucial opportunity. Yes, you'll need a crucial opportunity.

What do you want to say before you die?

Right now, I'm pissed off so I'm going to strangle you.

Hey, Yuh Jin!

You quickly give up what you're supposed to give up. And search for the solution.

I already told you this. You were my good student and are my good colleague and friend.

Therefore... avert your eyes.

Why don't you see me as a man?

Are you pressing me for an answer?

Should I let you know why I can't see you as a man?

Here... my heart... is not pounding when I look at you.

Satisfied?

Then, your heart...

Let me touch to see whether your heart is pounding or not.

How dare you... really...

- Your stomach hurts? - No, my ribs.

I'm hungry, so buy some rice nectar and boiled eggs.

Look at your reaction. Aren't you going to buy them quickly?

Give me money.

Charge to your account.

What are you thinking so hard about?

Team Leader Lee!

It's nothing.

What are you thinking about so intently?

Nothing. The scenery is great.

Will those people go directly to the hotel?

Yes.

Do whatever they want.

Until we have their signatures on paper, we need to do our best to keep them happy.

- Ji Eun. - Yes.

Weren't you bored coming here?

I was fine.

It's the place.

Give it to me.

- No, I can hold it. - No.

This place looks like a movie set, doesn't it?

This is a good place for a man and a woman who love each other to run away from home and come for their love, isn't it?

Running away for love?

That's great. If I live with Ji Eun alone, that'd be great.

Jeong Min, you buy this summer house.

Instead of selling this house to you, we should've sold it to Jeong Min at a premium.

Should I tell President Jang to sell me this summer house?

I really want to live with Ji Eun at a place like this, chatting and giggling very childishly.

Let's go in.

When did you, who said you lived only in the USA, buy this kind of place?

It was President Yoon's summer house. I bought it from him when I came to Korea.

How did he sell his summer house to his son-in-law-to-be? That seems like President Yoon.

What are you talking about, Chairman?

I'm saying your father chose the right son-in-law.

I chose the right husband.

It's okay for us to leave about 30 minutes later, isn't it?

Let's do that.

You're not coming with us?

Why don't you go tanning with President Roseman instead?

Are you having fun mocking your old father?

It's okay.

As I get older, I don't like sour drinks.

The juice is made from Korean clementines. It's not sour.

We made sure your drink wasn't too cold.

Talking back? I'll head back to the hotel first.

Ms. Lee Ji Eun, please clear the table.

How does it feel to return to Jeju after 10 years?

You must be bored.

I guess today is not our day.

You have to enjoy the game. If you only focus on catching the fish, it gets stressful.

Not good for your mental health.

Only those who have caught the fish could say such a thing.

I think we picked the wrong spot.

Let's move on to deeper water.

Have you caught any fish yet?

Nope. Not even a single bite.

We're going to move to a different spot.

Do you need something?

You're the only thing I need.

♫ When you have never needed any one. ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need. ♫

♫ Now love and hate, I have sent them far away. ♫

♫ When you have never needed anyone. ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need. ♫

♫ Now love and hate, I have sent them far away. ♫

Could you pick it up for me?

♫ How hard has my life been? How much have I tried to forget you? ♫

♫In front of you, I have hidden it deep inside of me. ♫

♫ It's been an endless dream, I thought so. ♫

♫ But why did reality turn me away? ♫

♫ How hard has my life been? How much have I tried to forget you? ♫

♫ In front of you, I have hidden it deep inside of me. ♫

♫ Since that day when I walked away, how has it been for me? ♫

♫ If you are also like me, you will understand. ♫

Ji Eun! Ji Eun!

Ji Eun!

Ji Eun!

Ji Eun!

Se Hoon...

Se Hoon...

Se Hoon, don't go.

Please don't go, Se Hoon. Se Hoon!

Se Hoon, please.

Se Hoon...

Ji Eun. Ji Eun!

Ji Eun... Ji Eun!

Did you have a bad dream?

No...

Are you feeling OK, sleepyhead?

I'm fine.

Have you been here this whole time?

I'm OK. You can go.

I'll go once your IV runs out.

I can do that myself. You don't need to stay.

Why are you trying so hard to get rid of me?

I'm not trying to get rid of you.

Are you afraid of being alone with me?

You think I'll entice you?

Are you really treating me this way because I stole a kiss from you?

Do you smell something burning?

It's my heart. It's ablaze.

You're really something...

What are you doing here?

I have something to discuss with Director Seo.

Why don't you go in then, instead of standing here like this?

It's nothing. I can talk to him later.

It's not urgent?

No, nothing urgent at all.

By the way, what brings you here?

I came to check on Ji Eun.

Come with me.

No, I'm OK. You go ahead. I'll wait for you in the lobby.

Tell me how I can make you mine.

What can I do to get inside your heart?

Risk my life, perhaps?

I really want to hear you say that you love me.

I need to.

Don't look away.

Can't you give me that much assurance?

You can take me as collateral.

I know you've been hurt before, but don't push me away because of it.

I want to be someone that can always be by your side and kiss you anytime.

At such an important moment!

I'm sorry it happened because of me.

Will was very worried, too.

But luckily, my Will is a good swimmer.

Unfortunately, he had already reached you just before I did.

Didn't you know that President Jang was the one who saved you?

No...

Chairman

The woman you said you fell for... is no more than a helper?

Sure, she is pretty.

Just lead her on a little bit, but end it soon.

It's different this time.

Dad, I decided to change myself for her.

Is that so?

Let's see how long this one lasts.

Is this why you called for me?

Se Hoon!

Se Hoon!

Do you know the similarities between love and swimming?

You can never master it until you've fallen in it yourself.

♫ In all the looks you ever gave me, ♫

I know what you were trying to say.

But I had no other choice.

Even when you were with me, I felt as if you would fly away...

And I knew that my family would be against us,

I can't dream of being without you.

Even so, this was the only way we could stay together.

♫ Through all the unforgettable painful memories ♫

♫ I long for you while I hate you,♫

♫ But I think I loved you too much. ♫

♫ I will regret that as much as I long to see you ♫

♫ If we meet again during the time I still love you ♫

♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you. ♫

Se hoon... ♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you. ♫

♫ I really do love you. ♫

Did you sleep well, sir?

I had a great sleep, thank you.

The air here is so clean and wonderful.

By the way, are you OK?

That must've been a terrifying experience for you yesterday.

I'm fine. Sorry I worried you.

You are quite trendy.

Thank you.

Would you like a cup of tea, sir?

That'd be wonderful, thank you.

Green tea is really good for diabetes.

Would you like if I get you some?

How did you know I have diabetes?

I read your interview in an economic magazine.

The part where you said,

"Because you are nothing, you can become anything" gave me great courage.

It's nice to know

that my words have touched someone in such a way that gave them such strength and courage...

Could I get your name?

Here is your tea, sir.

Thank you very much.

It's very good.

Is there anything else that you need, sir?

As a matter of fact, I do have something to ask you.

OK...

I have this habit of jotting things down.

Jotting down notes, or taking notes is a very good thing.

You don't miss out on anything.

And more than that, it builds trust. Now...

Your English is very good.

I went to college in the States, where I couldn't graduate.

What was your major?

Fashion design.

Ms. Lee, I picked up this file. I was wondering if you could explain what it means to me.

OK.

I'm sorry, sir. I can't tell you what this document says.

And why not?

I'm employed by the Seolin group, so I feel that I should take their side.

And this is not the right thing to do.

Sir, trust is very important.

If I was rude, please excuse me.

Ms. Lee.

This document has already been explained in a previous meeting.

I am sorry, but I was just testing you.

And now, I have some matters that I need to attend to. Could you please excuse me?

I'm sorry but I was just testing you.

Wait.

Thank you... for yesterday.

It never occurred to me that you were the one who saved me.

I would have done the same for anyone.

You don't have to say anything.

What could we say to each other?

This place is still the same as 10 years ago.

The only thing changed here is you and me.

Yes, you're right.

Only thing changed is just you and me.

Were we really lovers once?

I don't think that we didn't love each other. It's just...

Your love and my love...

were different.

We were too irresponsible and foolish.

Maybe that's why we're still paying the price now.

We only ever make things difficult for each other.

You shouldn't have met me.

If you had met Director Seo in the first place... no...

If this meeting today was our first... no...

If we had just met now instead of back then...

Do you think we would have still parted?

I know now that I've wronged you many times.

Back then... I had too many things I didn't know.

I was hoping that you would reach out to me.

You knew that I couldn't since I was the one who was rejected.

Please stop now.

What can we possibly do now?

I only hope not to hurt anyone else because of us.

Once this trip is over, we'll never have to see each other again.

Please be good to Mi Ran. I mean it.
