FRANKLY SPEAKING

FRANKLY SPEAKING

Yeah, pretty.

Well…

- Well, I--
- We should go home now.

Oh, yes.

Oh, right.

EPISODE 8:
STARTING TODAY, WE ARE…

I just hit 20,000 followers.

Want to celebrate at my restaurant?

Congrats, but I have
back-to-back client meetings.

Poor Ki-baek. The pool fight
and his self-intro were hilarious.

I've seen tons of memes of Ki-baek
and Jeong-heon rolling around.

I SAW THEM TOO

It will create more buzz
once Woo-ju shows up next week.

Is she still asleep?

Why isn't she saying anything?

STILL ASLEEP?

GOOD MORNING

Damn.

WANT TO JOIN ME FOR BREAKFAST?

Ki-baek, are you up?

Yes. I'm up.

They'll start sprouting soon.
We've got to eat them before they do.

I told you we should get just one box.

The grocery store owner always buys
three sets of lotion from me,

so how could I buy just one box?

Lotion and potatoes aren't the same.

Lotion doesn't go bad for years.

Hey, Ki-baek. Couple's Paradise, huh?

What? Is his show getting popular?

It's being hashtagged a lot.

You're on Instagram?

- Just peel the potatoes.
- Is Ki-baek going to be a star?

I love you so much, bro.

Ki-baek, get a plate
and put about five of these on it.

Ms. On, would you like
some potato pancakes?

I can smell them
from all the way down here.

I'd be disappointed if I didn't get one!

Take this too.

Are you trying to break the door?

Jesus.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Gosh, look at all these potato pancakes.
Thank you.

I feel a lot better throughout the day
when I do my morning stretches.

I… I was having my morning coffee.

Would you like some? Just a minute.

It's okay. I already had some.

- You've got something on--
- What?

Oh, I don't--
I don't know what it could be.

You're good now.

- Starting today, we--
- Last night--

- It was nice.
- We're cool.

Yes.

The show has premiered,
but nothing is really different.

It's quiet.

It just premiered. Did you think
you were going to be a star overnight?

I didn't mean it like that.

What are you doing today?

Nothing. What about you?

I'm busy.

I'm working on another show
to fill in for someone,

and I think I'll drop by
the staff meeting while I'm out.

Good for you.

Jobs will come to those
who wait patiently.

What a cheerful way to tell someone
with impulse control issues

to be patient.

Ki-baek,

I hope you'll be yourself from now on.
Honest and unpretentious.

It's really cute when you do that.

It's cute-- Dad.

Oh, hello.

Boy, my shoulders.
Maybe the stretches were…

Let's go.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED
WEIGH TO GO GYM

WEIGH TO GO GYM

Yes, I just wired you the rent.

Yes. I won't be late again.

I'm going to do my best! Okay, bye.

All right.

YOU CAN DO IT!

What's this?

CHAE YEON

Un-baek.

You wouldn't be able to handle it.

There we go.

"No more bites, no more excuses."

Excuse me.

1:1 PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

I thought I should start working out.

I see.

Okay.

Hello.

- Hi.
- Hello.

COUPLE'S PARADISE

COUPLE'S PARADISE
AUGUST 16

Hello.

I JUST HAD LUNCH
DON'T SKIP ANY MEALS

THANKS, I WON'T! KI-BAEK--

Oh, Ms. On.

Oh! Mr. Jang, hello.

I heard. You hit it big this time.

Not yet, but I hope I do.

- Did you change your number?
- No. Give me a call sometime.

Of course. I should cast you
before you become a star.

I didn't know you wanted
to be in front of the camera.

- I'll call you.
- Yes, please do.

Bye.

Hey, your show is creating quite the buzz.

I could feel it at the preview.

You were mad at us
for spending too much money.

How's the editing going?
I appreciate your hard work.

Huh? Chief, you're here too.

It's been a while, Woo-ju.

- Did you catch our show's premiere?
- Of course. I was just talking about it.

You must've worked really hard.

You make your first appearance
at the end of the next episode.

Wow, you might become famous.

Come on.

Good luck until the end. Let's go!

- Let's go!
- Let's go!

But Woo-ju,

you shouldn't come here
for the time being.

You said you wouldn't be involved
in the production.

What if someone sees you here
and takes issue with it?

Right.

I asked her to come.

If the show does well,
we'll have to discuss Woo-ju's role.

It isn't your team's place
to discuss her role.

If you want the series to continue,
step up the promotion game.

Your ratings need to go up.

Yes, ma'am. We'll do our best.

- Have you got a latte?
- Here.

- I'll see you.
- Bye.

- Take care now.
- Bye.

I'm sorry I barged in.

Since the show premiered,
I wanted to show support.

No, I'm sorry too. It's okay.

Come on. Let's just have coffee.

No. I was going to leave
after seeing you guys.

I've got to get to the set.
Bye, enjoy the coffee. Good luck.

- You too.
- Bye, guys.

Thank you.

Sure.

Do you remember Myeong-sik?

He and I used to run
a barbecue restaurant together.

He runs a chili farm in the country.

I'm grateful that
he sends me some every year.

Grateful for what?

He ran off with your money.

You're right.

I have nothing to thank him for.

It's hot out here.

You don't want to be on TV
with a sunburned face.

The chilies will burn your eyes.
Go downstairs.

You should put on a hat or something.

Yeah, I paid the hospital directly.

No, don't worry about it.

Bye.

After Ki-baek left,
I wondered what he was up to,

but you know what?

He's good at reality shows.

You know he's a pro
when he puts his mind to it.

You're close with him, aren't you?

Yes.

Listen. If I ever go freelance,
put in a good word for me.

- You're thinking about going freelance?
- Life's unpredictable.

This salary just won't do.

You should think about it too.

You should make as much money
as possible while you're young.

DEAR DAD

He's a no-go?

Man, we're all set up here.
You've got to be kidding me!

His appendix burst on his way here.
Can you believe that?

I've made some calls,
so let's wait a little longer.

Every minute we wait, we're wasting money.

We're a low-budget show.
We can't afford to wait.

We even have to set up lights
if it gets dark.

Should we pull out?

What do we do?

Hey, were you able to move things around?

Oh. No, I understand. Bye.

Is anyone available for a show?

We got an urgent call
from Local Live Info Show.

The shoot is in Seoul, with In-cheol
as director and Woo-ju as writer.

Oh, man.

Ms. On!

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

Sorry?

You caught me off guard.

I knew you could do it.

Oh, Ki-baek.

Okay, let's get started.

- All right.
- Yes, sir.

I didn't know what we were doing today,
so I just came in a suit.

BRAISED RIBS WITH SEAFOOD

You didn't close the salon early
because of me, did you?

No. You said your mother won't feel better
until she sees me.

You make everyone feel better.

Oh, please. Let's go.

Please enjoy.

It's been a while.

Yes. I hope you've been well.

You've gotten quite old.

Come on, Mother.

Don't say something like that to her face.

Why don't we eat first?

You like the food here.

Well, you haven't aged at all.

- You're still as beautiful as ever.
- Stop seeing Yeong-won.

Mother.

Ma'am. Goodness.

For nothing in return?

You audacious skank.

How dare you pursue my son
when you're destined for a miserable life?

Don't ever come near my son again.
Take that and leave him alone.

All right, fine.

Please don't yell.
If your blood pressure rises,

we'll have to rush you to the hospital
in the middle of your meal.

You tramp. Are you mocking me?

Mr. Kim, where are you? Get my car ready!

Mom.

I told you. It's been over ten years
since Mr. Kim retired.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

I hate you.

There's a thin line between love and hate.

Ji-hu called me and said it seemed urgent.

Thank you, Ki-baek.
The moment I saw you, I was dazzled.

Dazzled? I don't know about that.

You know Local Live Info Show?

We're doing a segment called
"Mr. Kim is on the Move,"

but since you're here,
we'll make it "Mr. Song is on the Move."

- Mr. Song is on the Move.
- Yeah.

You're an announcer,
so you know what to do, right?

You're introducing this restaurant
in a fun way.

You can relax and speak freely.

Can you be more specific about
how freely I can speak?

I might speak more freely
than you'd expect.

Well, it's…

You know, just be your usual self.

Like on Couple's Paradise. No filter.

Yeah.

GRANDMA'S BRAISED RIBS

FIND! TASTY TV

FEATURED ON KBC-TV

This is delicious, ma'am.

- It's great.
- Your ribs are killer!

- So good.
- It's like my grandma's.

It tastes just like my grandma's.

If you're here to eat, grab a damn seat.
Why are you standing around?

- Should I sit over there?
- Are you going to eat standing up?

Sit.

Right.

I'll have the ribs, a large one.

- For how many?
- One.

- Then get a small one.
- Sorry?

You damn fool.
You're going to have a ton left over!

I was told to order a large.

You'd better take all your leftovers
with you, you damn fool!

Cut!

We'll continue when the food is ready.

Mom.

Mom, can I see you for a second?

Well, excuse me.

Mom, the microphone.

- Cover it like this.
- Right.

Mom!

You're not cursing enough today.

You have to make it more realistic.

I've been sleep-deprived lately.
That's why.

It makes my heart race
to curse at strangers.

Mother, we're sending Ji-a
to an English-speaking preschool.

I even got you some deer antler extract.

That's right, Mom.

Pretend like you're acting
and make it realistic.

- You got this.
- Yeah. Okay.

Okay.

I'm at Grandma's Braised Ribs,
where the chef curses at you

but offers you food
that disappears into your belly.

Wow, the dish looks as rustic
as your way with words.

All right.

You don't cut it this way, you damn moron.

This meat on the bone is the best part.

Are you going to throw all this away?

Perhaps I should throw it away.

I'm sorry?

The meat is too tough,
and the sauce is too spicy.

While you're here
preoccupied with cursing,

maybe your son and his wife are only
paying attention to how it looks.

Do you really need this
to make it look good in pictures?

It may look good enough for social media,

but as far as taste goes,
it's got nothing.

This place has had a good reputation
for over 20 years.

But it seems like your food
has changed so much.

How dare you say our food has changed?

Who's the goddamn bastard
who thinks our food has changed?

That'd be me.

What?

I used to come here all the time
with my friends when I was in college.

We'd come in,
order one small braised ribs

and share it with extra rice.

You'd throw in more meat
when you were giving us a sauce refill.

I felt bad
seeing you young boys like that,

so how could I not?

The radish kimchi
tastes exactly the same. It's good.

You make this one yourself, don't you?

You should do the same for the ribs.

They say times have changed now.

I hear young people these days eat
with their eyes, not with their mouths.

Come on!

You eat with your mouth, not your eyes.

- Right?
- Yes.

Cut! We're not doing this.

Mr. Seong, we're not doing this.

Do you know how much
we've spent on marketing?

This reporter must be out of his mind!

Come on, sir. We're not done here yet.

We'll keep filming
and make it all good with editing.

Oh, forget it. Please just stop and leave.

Are you trying to ruin our business?

What are you doing?

- Can we talk?
- I can't believe this.

- Excuse me. Just a minute.
- I'm sorry.

How could he be so thoughtless?

He must be crazy.

I'm sorry.

I messed up again, didn't I?

I didn't mean for things to go this way.

Ki-baek.

Were her braised ribs really good?

I swear they were really good.

Okay, let's do it.

Sorry?

If it's good, we should film it. Come on.

Thanks for today.
I miss you, my dear Bok-ja.

Excuse me. Hi.

Can you do my hair?

Of course.

So, what can I do for you today?

Well, something that takes a long time.

I'm sorry?

Whatever takes the longest time.

What might that be?

You could get a perm,
or you could color or bleach your hair.

That'd take a long time.

I'll do them all.

Sorry? All of them?

Yes.

Sure, well, please have a seat.

But if you do them all at once,
it'll damage your hair.

Maybe you should…

Ma'am.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

If you want to stop filming, you can.

But you can also keep going if you want.

I'll help you.

-I said forget about it
-We'll be done soon. Calm down.

Just a few more scenes.

I said no.

We'll make it all good with editing.

- Forget it. No.
- It's going to be fantastic.

Please calm down.

- How do you expect me to calm down?
- Trust me on this.

Let's start back up.

Listen, dear.

Yes, Mother.

Clear the table.

I'm going into the kitchen.

Mom!

You can take the apron off, you damn fool.

Didn't you hear me?

And you, young man.

Sit back down.

All of you, take a seat.

I'll let you taste my braised ribs.

Whether you think it's good or bad,

you can go ahead
and sing about it on your show.

Everyone, take a seat.

Come on, sit. Go on.

- Good work.
- Well done.

Good night, guys.

Good night. Take care.

- See you next week.
- Good work.

- See you next week.
- Bye.

Jeong-heon, are you okay?

No, I'm not.

Thank you.

Aren't you pushing yourself too hard?

You've been working nonstop
this past month.

Let's go home. I'm tired.

Okay. Tomorrow's shoot is at six.
Should I get it pushed back?

No, it's fine.

Are you sure?

STILLS FROM COUPLE'S PARADISE

Woo-ju…

I hope you can leave it all behind,
right here.

The old me

and the old us.

I was really mad at you.

Being mad means you lose,
but I couldn't help it.

I was devastated and angry.

Woo-ju, back then, I--

But

I'm not anymore.

You want me to leave it all behind.
I think I already have.

I want to thank you.

I think I finally got some closure here.

Somebody once told me

that you can't turn on the switch
unless you turn it off first.

After all this time, I'm in your shoes.

The director wants to change the name
to "Mr. Song is on the Move"

and replace the host with you.

Come on.

No, seriously.

If you score a few shows this way,
you'll feel a lot safer.

If you're going to be the writer,
I'll do it.

If not, then no.

I'm just a fill-in until the head writer
comes back from her honeymoon.

Then I won't do it.

What? You're not on the brink yet,
are you?

Are we taking your car tomorrow?

Are you crazy? What are you talking about?

To shoot promos for Couple's Paradise.

What I mean is,
the two of us can't go together.

Aren't you going?

I am, but…

We're not in a relationship
where we can share a ride,

looking all chummy.

If we're not in the kind of relationship
where we can share a ride,

then what are we?

Honestly, I'm worried.

Couple's Paradise has just premiered.

There's no stopping now.

No matter what Min Cho-hui did
and how it affected your decision,

you did choose her,

and I didn't choose anyone.

Those are the facts.

And we will have to
take responsibility for that.

Besides, you--

I like you.

And I'm not going to be able to hide it.

I'm not sure if it'll be okay for us
to be around everyone.

If I don't mess up, it'll be fine.

Even if I do…

you'll be next to me.

I'm home.

- Do you need a hand?
- It's okay. You can go.

- I'll help you.
- Go.

Okay.

WEIGH TO GO GYM

Oh, my God.

Okay, okay.

- Hello.
- Hello, ma'am.

Hi.

Hi.

Shall we start the workout?

Oh, yes. The workout, of course.

This way, please.

Up.

Up.

Okay.

You're going to feel the burn right here,
between your arms and chest.

- Now, again. Up.
- Up!

Great. Okay.

Be careful.

You have to be slow
when you bring it down.

I think that's enough for today.

You're not just lacking muscle mass,
it's practically nonexistent.

Let's try different things
for the next session.

I'm not usually in such bad shape,

but I've been really tired lately.

Man.

Make sure you consume protein
after working out.

And you're a heavy smoker,
so you've got to do cardio regularly.

You live close by, right?

You should walk here then.

Do you give these
to every member of the gym?

Do you still make a profit?

Well, I recently reopened the gym,

and you're the first to join
since the reopening.

I can't believe you're the first member.
I haven't even started promoting yet.

Boy, what a coincidence.

It wasn't a coincidence.

See you next time.

63-1, DOKSEODANG-RO 39-GIL

Welcome.

Hello.

I'd like to change the color of my hair.

It's been a day.

I feel like this isn't exactly
the color I wanted,

and I'm also thinking about
getting a perm.

Your hair will melt off.

Have a seat.
I'll give you a conditioning treatment.

How long will that take?

A long time.

Secure it so it doesn't wobble.

Okay.

- Is there a spare watch?
- Check from the front.

Yes.

Put in the gas can.

Oh. I-na, put in the gas can.

Okay.

You eat that all the time these days.
You never used to eat at work.

Someone said I'm cranky when I'm hungry.

You're cranky even when you're not hungry.

What?

Guys, let's get ready!

I wish I could show you the set too,
my Cho-Chos.

Please be patient for now.

I'll tell you all about it next time.

Oh, the pop-up bakery shop is going to be
in two weeks in Apgujeong.

I've got to go.

I'll do a live broadcast again soon.

It's been a while.

Yes, it's been a while.

You look so beautiful.

Have you seen my Ki-baek?

He said he'd come find me here.

He must've told you everything.

I don't want to take issue with it
and cause a stir here,

but you will have to explain your actions.

You can take issue with it all you want

because I did nothing wrong.

Also, I don't think it's me
who owes an explanation.

Everyone, stand by.

Min-gu, is Jeong-heon here? He's up first.

Yes, but they won't let anyone
in his greenroom.

What are you talking about?

You shouldn't do this. Just go home.

Mr. Kang, go tell them he can't do it.

Let's go.

Jeong-heon.

Take out the hairpin.

Come on.

You all look so different.

So do you.

Like you wouldn't have ten billion won.

You look starved.

This is what they call
a special favor for the final couples?

Come on, I'm jealous of you.
You guys will--

- They'll get a million views for sure.
- Definitely.

Wow, you guys look great in your costumes.

You look great, really.
This is going to be huge.

Where's Ki-baek?

Oh, Ki-baek is making rice cakes.

Already?

The shoot hasn't even started yet.
Do we have to do this?

If we don't practice now,
we'll look awkward later.

But we're one of the final couples.

We should be doing that.

HAVE A GREAT CHUSEOK

Have a great Chuseok

with Couple's Paradise.

Yeah, okay.

We'll do each couple
and then do a group scene.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

Wow, that's so romantic.

It's so obvious
that he's not over Woo-ju yet.

Ki-baek,

are you upset about something?

Me? Why do you ask?

Do something about your face.

Let's start making songpyeon.

Look at that.
My baby is good at making songpyeon too.

Right? I know a thing
or two about cooking.

For my character,

shouldn't I just wait
and take your songpyeon?

My character wouldn't be
doing this either.

What's that?
It doesn't look like songpyeon.

The ugly ones actually
taste better, you know.

My mom said if your songpyeon is pretty,
you'll have pretty babies.

Is that an egg?

You're supposed to make songpyeon.

Please put your songpyeon on the tray.

What's that?

Why did you make a heart?

Oh, that's cool.

A heart?

Oh, they said
I could make it however I want.

Did you make that for Cho-hui?

No.

Songpyeon is easy to eat,
but it's hard to make.

Yeah.

- Woo-ju.
- Yes?

You look so much better than
the last time I saw you.

She's right.
Are you dating someone, Woo-ju?

No.

After the final shoot, did you…

secretly start to date Jeong-heon?
Did you?

No, I didn't.

No.

All right, then.
We'll steam your songpyeon.

- Okay!
- Okay.

- Good work today.
- Take care.

- Bye.
- See you.

- Really?
- Yeah…

- Mr. Song Ki-baek?
- Yes?

Do you have anyone
assisting you with your work?

Like a talent agency.

No.

Let's have a cup of tea sometime.

See you.

Yeah.

Jeong-heon. Come on.

I should've turned off the switch.

A heart? Seriously?

We didn't make any eye contact,

and we barely said anything to each other.

That songpyeon almost gave us away.

Everyone thought
you were seeing Jeong-heon.

It's not often we get to wear
those kinds of costumes.

You looked so beautiful today.

We had angel, woodcutter, noblewoman
and servant costumes

but we didn't take any pictures in them.

Are you going to keep complaining?

What?

What's this?

You're brooding over
not taking any pictures together,

so let's do it, Mr. Rice Pounder.

Wait, you're being so forward.

I love it.

Just look at the camera.

It sends the photo to your phone too.

Okay.

We're not there yet.

Then let's make a heart.

You and your hearts.

Come on, let's do it.

You have such a pretty smile.

I can't say you're paying lip service.

You have a real knack
for making things awkward.

Didn't you say it's cute when I'm honest?

That's…

You can stop being honest.

You know I can't help it.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my dad.

Oh, hey, Ki-baek.

Hi. What are you doing?

Exercising.

I used to box, remember?

I still throw some jabs sometimes.

I do remember, but--

I'd better get home. Good night.

Well, if you saw it, you can just say so.

Shadowboxing at this late hour
seems a little random.

I was just flustered.

I've never seen you with a woman.

Are you guys in a relationship?

- No.
- It didn't seem like it.

Then what? Just casually dating?

Well, you saw it.

I'm not sure.

Uncertainty between a man
and a woman can be bad.

You'd better make things clear.

Will you keep it a secret?

Please, I'm asking you.

This is also the first time
you've ever asked me for something.

Right. We should get home. Let's go.

She talks so much in person.

WRITER ON WOO-JU

But she never texts me first.

We're not in a relationship where we can
share a ride, looking all chummy.

Uncertainty between a man
and a woman can be bad.

You'd better make things clear.

WRITER ON WOO-JU

NAME

They asked for our confirmation.
You should take a look.

Ms. Ma said you need to see your doctor.

I can take care of myself.

She said you have to talk to Dr. Choi
about your difficulty breathing yesterday.

Jeong-heon. I'm really worried about you.

Why are you overstraining yourself?

You'll get sick
if you keep bottling things up.

You're right.

I bottled it up and got sick.

Hyeong-taek.

Yeah?

I need the day off.
Clear my schedule for this afternoon.

Okay?

I'll go see the doctor.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Please follow me this way.

Okay.

This is expensive stuff.

Please wait here.

- Oh, okay.
- Okay.

- Go ahead.
- Okay.

Man…

Why are you having a meeting
at a hair salon?

- Are you sure I can be here too?
- I'd feel awkward alone.

Say you're here to get your hair done.

Hey, they charge you 77,000 won
for a haircut here.

What?

I hear all the big shot
freelance announcers come here.

I guess everything
will come up roses for you now.

Roses?

Please. I'm in the jungle.

Instead of the jungle, perhaps you should
think of it as the land of opportunities.

I didn't know you had company.

This is Yoon Ji-hu, a JBC announcer.

Hey, this is Director Ma Mi-ra
of Forever C&C.

Nice to meet you. I'm Yoon Ji-hu.

Right. Nice to meet you too.

Let's cut it a little bit
and add some curls.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M AT A HAIR SALON

I'M AT HOME

I'M A LITTLE BUSY RIGHT NOW

OKAY, TEXT ME WHEN YOU'RE DONE

How many TV shows do you think are

available for
a freelance announcer to host?

Thirty? Fifty?

Even just with the major TV stations,
K has 29 variety shows

and 65 current affairs and cultural shows.

S has 8 variety shows,
23 current affairs and cultural,

and M has 24 variety shows
and 30 current affairs and cultural.

But since they have in-house announcers,

cable channels are
the best bet for freelancers.

Even just the four major ones
roughly have more than 100 variety shows

and 200 current affairs and cultural shows
airing 24-7.

There are hundreds of shows available.

The days when you had to work
for some coffee money

are now over.

Hey, you're going to make some big money.

Variety shows? Cultural?

You can do anything you want
if you work with me.

What about news shows?

Right. News.

Why not? If you're capable,
the possibilities are endless.

Oh, Ms. Ma. You're here.

Hi, Ms. Sim.

Is Jeong-heon coming here today?

He said he was going to the hair salon.

No, he didn't make an appointment.

What's going on?

Did he go someplace else?

Ms. Sim, did you guys have an argument?

No! Of course not.

I'm a big fan of yours, Jeong-heon.

What? Thank you.

I bet you can't find one person
in this country who dislikes you.

That's not true.

My daughter liked you so much too.

She'd go on and on about you,
calling you her "Heony."

She was spending night after night
with a guy I'd never even met,

and I still made kimchi
and all kinds of other dishes for him.

Right.

She always puts on a naive smile at work,

so people don't know
how she's really feeling inside. But…

I do.

I can tell.

I know when that fool's feelings are hurt,
just by looking at her face.

I don't know what happened
because Woo-ju never told me.

But you know what?

I don't care if her "Heony"
is some beggar in the street

or the biggest celebrity in the country.

If he's the kind of guy who casts
a shadow over my daughter's face,

I will end him.

I'm sorry I came so late, Ms. On.

I'm sorry.

I came to apologize today.

I didn't realize until it was too late.

He said he wanted to get married.

He's told you
about our family situation, right?

His successful father has always
treated him like a troublemaker,

but he's worked hard to live the life
he wants and never asked us for anything.

I'll be honest. I pried a little.

He said he wants to get married
but didn't tell me anything about you.

Oh, right.

You are

as beautiful as he said.

Thank you.

I hear your parents are both teachers.

And that they work in another region.

And I heard you work
at a broadcasting station.

You two probably understand
each other well then.

JBC, is it?

Back then,

I thought I was protecting Woo-ju
by lying.

I hope you won't be offended
by what I'm about to say.

You and Jeong-heon can get married
whenever you want.

Just give me some time
to convince my husband.

You can marry him
and join our family then.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Such a beautiful and wonderful woman
like you says she likes Jeong-heon.

Thank you.

I hid Woo-ju's wound
so no one could rub salt in it.

What Woo-ju really wanted from me

was just to accept it as it was, but I…

I was foolish.

I'm sorry, Ms. On.

I know I hurt you too.

Come out of there already.

SONG KI-BAEK:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- Thank you.
- Goodbye.

Want to grab dinner?

Since we got a haircut,
how about a food court?

- Ji-hu.
- What?

I like On Woo-ju.

And?

What? You knew?

No. But you two have been
through thick and thin,

and you live upstairs from her.

It's not a surprise.

I see.

So, food court?

When I was talking to Ms. Ma earlier,

I kept thinking about Woo-ju.

Thinking that I want to talk
to her about my future.

I'll just go by myself.

She's the only one
I want to talk to about that stuff.

I want a special relationship with her.

But I don't know.

I don't know if she feels
the same way about me.

And where we stand exactly.

Listen, Ki-baek.

I chased after my wife for a year
before we started dating.

Guess how many times I asked her out.

Ten times?

No, if I had,
I would've been arrested for stalking.

How many times?

Just once.

All I could do was hover around her,
and it was driving me crazy.

So one day, I got myself really drunk,
went to her house,

and I sang.

- She didn't call the cops?
- Her neighbor did.

She came down to the station
to give a statement.

I asked her out that day,
and she said yes, just like that.

I wasted a year for nothing.

So you never know until you ask.

Hi, Sol.
Are you in the mood for a Swiss roll?

Yeah, all right.

Ki-baek. Don't waste your time
and go ask her.

I'll see you.

Bye.

I'm sorry, Woo-ju.

I'm sorry.

That's what I came to say.

But I guess I'm too late.

Where are you?
I really need to talk to you today.

Oh, they have…

No.

Thank you

for telling me this.

I thought about it a lot, actually.

I thought, "Maybe he was really just
trying to protect me."

"Maybe he was trying his best
to love someone who's got a story

that people would frown upon."

Because I loved you so much.

I tried to rationalize it
and understand you.

But

now I really do understand.

So don't be sorry.

Why isn't she responding?

Is she busy?

SONG KI-BAEK: I WANT TO SEE YOU

Is Song Ki-baek the person
in your heart right now?

Why am I so nervous?

Should I tell her tomorrow?

Let's tell her.

I should tell her.

FRANKLY SPEAKING

The real-time ratings are
over ten percent!

Congrats.

I'm a huge fan!

Oh, it's him. It's Song Ki-baek!

It's Song Ki-baek.

He went on Couple's Paradise or whatever
and made a complete fool of himself.

She rejected Jeong-heon?
I hate On Woo-ju.

On Woo-ju is out of her damn mind.

The series can't continue with Woo-ju.
Let's do what's best.

Are you and Ki-baek doing okay?

Should I just retire?

Ki-baek made the news
for the wrong reasons!

Are you okay?

I'm not okay at all.
