(My big sister, Me)

Mom!

- Mom! - Oh, no.

- Dad! - Oh, dear.

- Honey, look. - Oh, no.

We should take her to a hospital.

How did this happen?

- What do we do? - Hang in there.

It's okay.

- Yes, I know. - It's fine.

- Let's go. - Honey.

Hye Ri...

Hye Ri.

Hye Ri.

Let's take a photo, girls.

Hye Ri, let's take a photo.

Stand a bit closer together.

Take one step forward.

That's it. Are you ready?

One, two...

(The forest and the scar)

Joo Eun Ho!

What are you doing over there?

Why are you walking like that?

Are you trying to make me laugh?

How could this happen?

How could the person in my dream...

Is this reality?

What are you going on about, Joo Eun Ho?

What was that? Did he just call me "Joo Eun Ho?"

No way.

"No way."

Is this your new way of ignoring me?

No... It's just that I'm not Joo Eun Ho.

Is that so?

Then who are you?

Before I answer, tell me who you are.

Oh, sure. I'm Jung Hyun Oh.

Will that do?

It can't be.

You took Ji On with you on the two-day shoot?

Even if the director said it's okay, it's a bit weird.

Think how many crew members were there.

What would they think of you now?

If you let your personal life seep into your work...

No way.

That was my actual dream.

What are you saying, Joo Eun Ho? Enough!

No.

I'm not Joo Eun Ho!

I...

I'm...

(Joo Eun Ho)

Are you saying...

I'm her?

It can be a great deal confusing.

Eun Ho. You and Hye Ri are the same person.

No. That can't be...

possible.

Because...

I even have a scar here.

Only Hye Ri has this scar.

Do you see a scar there?

Yes, totally.

Hey, I don't see it.

What happened?

Are my eyes dusty?

You have dissociative identity disorder.

What?

Psychiatrists call everything you're experiencing...

dissociative identity disorder.

Simply put, you have multiple personalities.

All the symptoms you're experiencing...

fit this diagnosis.

(April 3, 2024. I have dissociative...)

(I have dissociative identity disorder?)

(Oh, my gosh!)

But I don't know Joo Eun Ho.

I only know myself.

I've only lost my memory.

Yes.

It's possible my doctor confused amnesia...

with dissociative identity disorder.

My doctor doesn't know everything.

Yes.

Perhaps...

Many things could cause your personalities to switch.

It could be getting drunk,

or being under a great deal of stress,

or...

waking up from a deep sleep.

(4am, Joo Hye Ri)

(4am, Joo Eun Ho)

How Hye Ri becomes Eun Ho,

and how Eun Ho becomes Hye Ri...

Where the whole thing stems from.

How you two are connected.

You must figure that out.

Print not registered.

- Darn it. - Print not registered.

Get a temporary pass from the front desk.

- Oh no... - What are you doing?

Darn it.

Can you take me in with you?

Hello, I'm Jung Hyun Oh.

That's Joo Eun Ho, my colleague.

Thanks. After you.

Is that special event over?

What event?

The one where you go, "I'm not Joo Eun Ho."

You haven't scared me that much in recent times.

What are you on about? If I'm not Joo Eun Ho, who is?

You don't remember?

What are you talking about? Just explain it.

I was outside your place and we met.

Why would you do something that offensive?

Joo Eun Ho.

What?

It's just that I'm not Joo Eun Ho.

You really...

What?

Never mind. Go upstairs.

I'm just about to.

Hey, Moon Ji On.

You won't talk to me today either?

Ji On?

Seung Hwa, can you check my chair?

- It feels a bit too low. - Okay.

Hey, Ji On.

Could you stand up?

- Oh, sure. - Thanks.

Did you have something to eat?

Yes, I did.

Moon Ji On. You really won't talk to me?

Did you eat something nice?

Yes, it was nice.

Darn it, Moon Ji On. You really won't talk to me?

What was that about?

My gosh.

I...

That was so close.

- How so? - Goodness.

Moon Ji On, you...

I almost...

- went for it. - But?

I can't do this.

- I can't because... - It's Jung Hyun Oh.

I'm sick of that now.

Fine.

I'm sorry...

for hitting on you, Joo Eun Ho.

Hello, everyone.

This is PPS' midday news.

(The joy of a new tomorrow, PPS)

Ji On, I'm heading home.

(4pm, Joo Eun Ho)

(4pm, Joo Hye Ri)

What?

- You kissed? - Yes.

Didn't you go too far too fast?

I read about it in a web novel.

There's a section where physical love turns emotional.

What about it?

You could say that's what I was after.

You went too far.

- Joo Hye Ri. - Yes? What?

You're getting on my nerves.

Can you stop dancing that dance?

What?

I want to dance a bit more.

Okay.

Why is he this early today?

What are you talking about?

(Media N Seoul, Parking Management Office)

- Excuse me. - Yes?

The lady who works here.

Yes. Go on.

No. Not you.

Right...

Well...

She's not here yet.

What time does she come in?

I guess...

Eight o'clock?

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

Hey. I must ask because I really don't get it.

Why did you hide?

If you kissed, doesn't that mean progress?

Once you're physically attracted to someone,

the next step is...

avoidance.

(Media N Seoul, Parking Management Office)

(News Center)

(When this door opens, another world appears.)

Is she here?

Well, the thing is...

She did come in,

but then she left to get something.

I could pass her your message.

No.

(Media N Seoul, Parking Management Office)

(Media N Seoul)

Hi.

I need to ask you something.

Why did you kiss me?

Well...

Can we go somewhere else and talk?

I'd appreciate it if you could just tell me why you kissed me.

- It was... - That day, I was in the elevator,

and that woman suddenly showed up and threatened me with the pickaxe.

That moment, you showed up.

You jumped in and saved me. That I truly appreciate.

Then we ran.

I understand everything up until that point,

but after that...

As to why you suddenly kissed me,

I really don't get it.

I fully understand why that part is difficult for you to understand,

but instead of talking here...

You just need to tell me why you kissed me.

Did you do it for no reason?

Would you describe yourself as "easy?" Or did I...

come across as that easy to you?

I've been racking my brain but just don't get it.

I'd like an explanation, please.

Why did you kiss me?

Well, it was...

The reason...

- I did that to you... - Hey, Kang Joo Yeon.

What are you doing?

Nothing. I'll catch you later.

All right, see you later.

All right.

I... It was...

Are you crying now?

No, this is...

Why am I...

I really don't know why I'm being like this.

Why... This is...

So I meant to say...

- I mean, it was... - That's enough.

Forget it.

I meant to say...

It was...

It was...

It was...

Hey! Earlier, Kang Joo Yeon...

Hey, you...

The thing is,

I have no idea why I'm being like this,

but he was fuming mad.

But Min Young...

That guy...

I thought he'd be nice to me,

but he was so scary.

He was so cold to me.

Min Young.

What should I do? I think I made a huge mistake.

What do I do now?

What should I do, Min Young?

What do I do?

(Media N Seoul)

I made a huge mistake.

It was...

very rude of me.

That's why...

(April 4, 2024, Kang Joo Yeon yelled at me.)

That's why...

he was so cold to me.

He went ice-cold on me.

(Joo Hye Ri)

(4am, Joo Hye Ri)

(4am, Joo Eun Ho)

What? What is this? Why are my eyes so puffy?

Darn it.

Welcome.

(4pm, Joo Eun Ho)

(4pm, Joo Hye Ri)

(Media N Seoul, Parking Management Office)

Hey, Kang Joo Yeon is here.

Hey, you.

Hey, Hye Yeon.

Oh, someone left it for you at the information desk,

so I picked it up for you. Well done, right?

Open it.

Go ahead and open it.

My gosh. Paper stars!

There must be 1,000 of them.

My goodness. I'm so jealous.

I've always wanted a gift like this.

When you get a gift like this, you can make a wish.

Oh, right. You had a wish. What was it?

Right, you said you wanted the world to end.

But I have to say, that's not a nice wish.

So, try to wish for something constructive.

Now that you've received such a heartfelt gift,

I suggest you make a constructive wish...

Then you can have it.

Joo Yeon?

- Wait, Joo Yeon. - What?

That was good, Joo Yeon.

What did you say?

You said you wished the world would end.

What was the other thing you said?

Seeing a paper cup hung from the ceiling?

You see, you can't make those things happen by doing nothing.

You should at least yell angrily at me like this...

to throw your mundane life off balance.

So, well done, Joo Yeon.

(News Center)

You know,

I hope you don't just sit idly by, hoping something would happen.

(Media N Seoul News Studio)

That's it for today's news.

Thank you all for watching.

Thank you. Good work.

- Well done. - Thank you.

I hope you can open the door yourself, get out there,

and build a new world for yourself.

(When this door opens, another world appears.)

One more thing, Joo Yeon.

It's not nice to give away a gift that you received.

(It's not nice to give away a gift that you received. From Hye Yeon)

Hello, Mr. Kang Joo Yeon.

I'm Joo Hye Ri, who works at the Parking Management Office.

I hope everything is well with you and your family.

I...

I really liked you.

Thank you, miss.

Thank you!

Let me settle up.

Oh, sure.

I can help you with that.

Here you go.

Darn it.

(Media N Seoul, Parking Management Office)

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Well, if you'd like to settle up...

I didn't mean to make you cry.

I was just...

really curious...

as to why you kissed me in that situation.

Oh, about that, I explained it in my letter.

I had a crush on you.

I never imagined we could be together,

but when I realized what was going on,

you were right in front of me.

That's why you kissed me?

Yes, so I kissed you.

That sounds absurd.

I'm sorry.

I'd have nothing to say even if you were to sue me.

I won't sue you.

I see. Then I'm relieved.

I'm sorry too.

I thought...

I was too harsh on you...

that day.

Oh, it was totally understandable that it made you angry...

But I couldn't figure out the reason...

as to why I was angry.

Maybe you were angry because I was so rude.

No. The truth is, after you kissed me...

I felt weird.

I've been angry ever since I saw you cry.

Then what about now?

You're not angry anymore?

No, I'm not.

Why not?

I'm not sure.

Because you told me why you kissed me?

Then let me tell you once more.

I had a huge crush on you, Mr. Kang Joo Yeon.

And I was very happy while having a crush on you.

Bye.

Wait.

Yes, it's really difficult to play hard to get.

Sorry?

"The master was helplessly defeated..."

"by a complete rookie."

Well, by "a complete rookie," do you mean...

Was that your first kiss?

Yes, it was.

My gosh, me too.

I don't believe that.

I like you, Mr. Kang Joo Yeon.

So, I want to get to know you better.

To be honest, I really want to get to know you better.

Even more so, after the kiss.

You intrigue me too.

Then how about we go somewhere and talk?

Where?

Not sure. How about you give it some thought and let me know?

I didn't expect you'd bring me to your place.

Well, nothing's open now.

So, you live on the third floor.

So do I.

Unit 302, Sambok Villa in Daejeon-dong.

Your place is very clean.

Is it?

(Congratulations, Korea Military Academy)

(Korea Military Academy)

Who is this?

My brother.

He's handsome.

He died.

Five years after that picture was taken.

(Korea Military Academy)

He was beautiful.

That's why my mother gets sick often.

Because my brother is dead.

Because my brother is gone,

but I'm not dead.

But being alive is a good thing.

Anyway, didn't you say you were curious about me?

What do you want to know?

First things first, I'm Joo Hye Ri, age 28.

Why? Do I look younger than my age?

No.

I thought you'd be around my age or slightly older.

- How old are you? - I'm 35.

That's mean.

Oh, right.

Do you live with your family?

No, I live alone.

I think my parents passed away,

and I have no siblings.

I guess you can say I'm an only child.

I see.

But now,

I have you.

Is that right?

That smile just now...

It fascinated me because I never imagined you'd smile like that.

- Really? - Yes.

See? Being alive is a good thing.

Your mother is being foolish.

I'll tell her when and if I get a chance.

"Ma'am, it's a good thing to be alive."

"So, be grateful that Mr. Kang Joo Yeon is alive."

Hye Ri.

Yes, Joo Yeon.

Could you spend more time with me today?

Yes, of course.

Why?

By the way, what's that?

It's just...

Do you leave it on all day?

Yes.

Why?

(Media N Seoul, Kang Joo Yeon)

(Kang Joo Yeon, Profile)

Hey, did you watch the soccer game?

Hey, Kim Taek Min.

What?

- Did you watch the soccer game? - No, I didn't.

Hey, what's with your outfit today?

It's not for you to judge.

You see, I read this article...

about a 37-year-old woman who dressed to look younger...

and went clubbing. She had a one-night stand...

with a 20-year-old kid and...

No, that wasn't me.

I'm not saying it was you. I read an article...

I said it wasn't me.

Why are you raising your voice?

Are you sick?

Yes, I think I'm sick.

You have many friends at Media N Seoul, right?

Yes, why? Do you want me to set you up with someone?

No, thanks.

Can you look into someone for me?

("Issue In")

(Nice show.)

(I'm rooting for you.)

I have to say, the feedback isn't bad.

No. Even so, you have to do the fish story.

No, give it to Joo Eun Ho.

What are you talking about?

The fish story is a social issue.

Social issue reports are your specialty.

You have to do this...

to add more weight to it and grab people's attention.

With Joo Eun Ho, it won't reach a wide audience.

No way.

Mi Yeon.

Before joining this team, I was with "Current Affairs 10."

So if I do something like that,

the viewers wouldn't be able to tell whether this is...

"Issue In" or "Current Affairs 10."

I'd rather stick to less serious stories.

Who cares about that when all we need are good ratings?

No one cares if the viewers are confused...

with two similar shows where you cover serious social issues.

My goal is to add weight to whatever ideas we have...

and get good ratings,

so what are you even saying?

I'm sorry to say this,

but can't you do it?

No, I can't.

Give it to Joo Eun Ho.

- End of meeting. - Are you insane? What's with you?

Look here. Why are you doing this to me?

Don't you care about my achievements?

We're a team working on the same show,

so why would me not doing it hurt your work in any way?

You're always so smug!

Can I give this to Hyun Oh?

"Hyun Oh"?

Sorry?

Were you referring to me?

By my name?

Our dear rookie sub-writer,

calling him by his name casually will get you in trouble.

Back when we were in college, he gave sour faces...

to anyone who would call him in an affectionate way.

Didn't you hear me dryly referring to him as Hyun Oh?

So please, Hyun Oh,

- this fish story... - Give it to Joo Eun Ho.

I'll get going.

Is he still in love with Joo Eun Ho or something?

Hyun Oh.

Yes?

Do you still love her?

Don't be absurd.

Then why are you giving her all the segments?

You gave her the ocean waste segment...

and now this fish piece.

Soo Young, whoever's working it must ride on a freezer truck,

and freezer trucks are freezing.

I hate being in the cold, that's all.

As if. You love being in the cold.

What you loathe is the scorching heat.

Our preferences change with age.

- Hyun Oh. - Yes, go ahead.

It can't be Joo Eun Ho.

Sure. I know that.

She will run off faster than anyone else.

I know that as well.

But you'll still keep giving her all the stories?

Soo Young, I only say this...

because I shouldn't cover serious stories.

Seriously! I hate her guts.

(Media N Seoul, Kang Joo Yeon)

Mr. Jung is adamant about not doing the story.

You've got to be kidding me.

Why should the killer story...

go to that weirdo?

Whatever. I guess you'll have to ask for now.

She might decline.

(The joy of a new tomorrow, PPS)

Excuse me, Ms. Joo.

What? What do you want?

It's no big deal,

but there's a story to cover this weekend.

The weekend?

But weekends are too exhausting for me now.

I have a lot to think about...

- and my head's killing me. - Right?

It'll be too much of a hassle to work every weekend.

Exactly. It's not like they pay you enough for expenses.

I'm not one to obsess over money, but...

How long will the segment be?

Only ten minutes,

so I'll persuade Hyun Oh...

I'll give it a try.

But you don't even know what you're agreeing to.

I can blindly take on a job that gets me ten minutes on air.

Know that I'm at your service.

What should I film in the freezer truck?

Film how they moved the mackerel to boxes...

that say they were caught in Korea.

Where's the key?

The truck's license plate has been sent to your phone.

Check the plate and open the truck.

But should I be filming this instead of a cameraman?

I won't be on camera, then.

I agreed to this thinking that my face...

would be on camera for ten whole minutes.

Your voice alone will provide enough realism.

Will my name and the image of my face...

constantly be on screen?

Yes, of course. We'll do that.

What will I be saying?

The script was sent to your phone.

It's short, so you'll be able to memorize it.

Goodness. I would memorize it even if it were long.

The staff including me will wait for you here,

so call me if something happens.

I doubt anything serious would happen.

Darn. Where exactly did you put it?

You don't know?

Should I look through all the boxes?

Hold on.

Why is this door open?

Who was in charge of locking this door?

Hey. Is this the best you can do?

Do you need to be taught a lesson?

Do you have a death wish?

Please...

Please pick up.

Why aren't you picking up?

Please pick up.

(Announcer Joo Eun Ho)

She must not be having any trouble.

My fish.

My precious fish.

Like this,

we're out early in the morning trying to uncover a scandal.

But what if this story doesn't turn any heads?

What else?

You'll murder Jung Hyun Oh.

Mi Yeon, you're not picking up.

Unfortunately, I'm locked in a freezer truck,

and someone has to open the door for me.

But Mi Yeon...

What is that, you ask? That's right. It's a dead body.

I checked to see if that person was alive, but that person is long gone.

I want to call the police,

but I'm currently locked in a freezer truck.

That's why I'm asking you to get me out of here, Mi Yeon.

The temperature keeps on dropping.

(Producer Kim Mi Yeon)

Just to be on TV for ten minutes in a photo,

I put myself in a freezer truck and got locked in it.

If I had known...

about the format, I wouldn't have agreed to it.

Why? Because there were too many things to think about.

I should report this, right?

You probably know this,

but it'll be over for us if anyone finds out about this.

Why would it be over for us?

Why can't anyone know about this?

But I'm close to being done for.

I might die in here,

so why can't I...

Why isn't she texting me back?

What are you even doing?

You're not being of any help!

I don't have the number for anyone else on the team.

I can't believe this.

What do I do?

It'll all be solved once I call the police.

I'll get out of here, so will the dead body,

and our show will be ruined.

Darn.

Are you going to rescue me?

I asked if you were going to rescue me.

- Joo Eun Ho. - What? Why?

You learned how to swim.

Are you insane?

You were even taught the butterfly.

A skilled swimmer like that can swim to shore.

Can't you just say you'll rescue me?

Would it kill you to just say that?

Be more independent, Eun Ho.

Why do you want others to save you when you're drowning?

Get to safety on your own.

Hold on. Don't you love me?

You're heavy, you know. Get down.

No way. I won't let go of you.

Answer me. Will you rescue me?

Seriously?

(Jung Hyun Oh)

(Jung Hyun Oh)

(Jung Hyun Oh)

I'll wait ten more minutes...

and then call the police. Why?

Because, no matter what, I will make it out of here alive.

I won't...

die.

I won't die.

Yes, this is the truck. I checked the plate.

Chan Woo, it's you.

Did Mi Yeon send you?

Yes, she told me to check on you.

I knew Mi Yeon wouldn't abandon me.

Gosh, it was terrifying in here.

Goodness.

Are you all right? Aren't you cold?

I'm fine...

thanks to the more than enough body fat I have.

It was cold,

but something else terrified me.

You probably heard,

but in there...

Consider yourself honoured...

because I'll definitely rescue you.

Are you still going on about that?

You told me to get myself to safety...

if I find myself in water,

but I will rescue you...

no matter what even if I don't know how to swim.

Why would you rescue me?

You should be more concerned about yourself.

Because I love you.

What?

Because...

I love you.

Come on.

(Dear Hyeri)

This is only because I can't handle the curiosity.

Let me ask you one thing.

Go ahead.

I texted Kim Mi Yeon.

I know.

Then why did you show up?

Why did you show up?
