(This drama is purely fictional.)

(Child actors were filmed under supervision.)

It's so pretty here, isn't it?

Yes. It's nice.

Aren't the windmills lovely?

Don't they look like spinning rainbows?

They do. They're pretty.

Everything here is so picturesque, isn't it?

Yes.

Are you...

a twisted donut?

Why do you squirm when you talk?

Well...

You keep asking to see me in private...

and come to places like this,

and call and text me late at night.

I asked people...

and they all said you're...

You're interested in me.

I'm what?

Are you...

interested in me?

- That's... - No, don't answer that.

There's no way you'd be. You don't lack anything.

Right.

It's just hilarious.

What is hilarious?

Now that I think about it,

there's no way you'd be interested in me.

Hey, I'm hungry.

What shall we eat after our walk?

Pork belly? Intestines? Galbitang? Hangover soup?

Do you know what "gariguk" is?

I'm very interested in you.

What?

Isn't it obvious?

Why would I call and ask you out if I weren't interested?

I think it's weird that you didn't catch on.

Goodness. And I know what "gariguk" is.

It's really good. Let's have some later.

It's so nice here.

What... What was that?

What did you just say?

(Giyi Bus Stop)

- Joo Eun Ho. - Yes?

I don't like you anymore.

- What? - I told you...

so long ago that I was interested in you.

But you never said anything.

It's been a month.

You didn't respond at all.

Are you talking about me?

Who else would I talk to?

But...

That was...

You said to me that...

Whatever. I'm leaving. Don't follow me.

But...

Hey!

(Wonhye-ro 2-ga)

What?

What just happened?

He didn't say...

He just said he was interested.

Did he ask me to date him?

Did he ask me to be his girlfriend?

He didn't do any of that!

He should tell me if I'm to respond.

"I'm very interested in you."

So what? What am I supposed to do?

Should I have gone to him...

and said, "Mr. Jung who's very interested in me."

"I'm also very interested in you. Shall we give us a shot?"

Should I have? My gosh.

Why is he so darn passive?

My gosh.

(Giyi Bus Stop)

Hey. Where are you going?

Can I tag along?

Who are you?

I'm Jung Hyun Oh.

What's he on about?

Come on.

You really...

just do whatever you want.

One day you say you're interested in me.

Another day you say you don't care anymore,

that you dislike me and don't want to talk to me.

Mister. Because of that, it has been over six months...

since we last talked.

And then you suddenly show up...

and ask, "Where are you going? Can I tag along?"

Do you think that little of me?

Eun Ho.

Don't say my name. We're not that close.

I upset you, didn't I?

I can't stand you.

Don't talk to me.

Shall we go to Namsan Tower?

I...

like going on cable cars.

Do you? Let's ride one, then.

Don't do that anymore.

Do what?

Not talking to me.

Ignoring me for six months at a time.

Oh, that? I'm not sure.

What?

You never know the future.

Darn you.

I was kidding.

Jung Hyun Oh.

What should I do?

I like you so much.

Every part of you, from head to toe.

Help me fold the clothes.

What for?

You're such a slacker.

You're so good at that, Hyun Oh.

(Episode 10: Three People)

(My Love)

(Seoul, Donghae)

Attention, everyone.

Well, let's welcome our new...

Which crew?

Yes, sir.

The 34th crew. It's an honour to become a member of the PPS crew.

- Nice to meet you all! - All right.

All right, great.

You managed to join PPS through connections.

We welcome you with open arms.

Is that true?

Well, how about you guys take turns and introduce yourselves?

Who belongs to the most senior crew?

The 28th crew, right?

Get up and say hi.

Oh, you guys can sit down.

I'll do it on behalf of the crew.

Hello, I'm Announcer Joo Eun Ho.

It's nice to meet you.

Applause!

All right, sit down.

- Okay. - Let's all...

fill up our drinks and raise our glasses.

Hey, can you fill that up?

I think I looked kind of cool.

All right, welcome.

Thank you!

Hey, Moon Ji On.

What will you do if you can't even do this?

I know, right?

Why am I so bad at this?

Hey, is it because you're a PE major?

Oh, right. I majored in physical education.

I guess that's why.

My goodness. And you have no backbone.

Darn it.

Hey, did you know?

- He majored in economics. - Pardon?

He specialized in application statistics.

So, if he ever makes mistakes with numbers, just say this.

"Mr. Kwon, aren't you an economics major?"

"How could you not even know that?" Just say that.

Oh, I'm not offended at all, Ms. Joo.

Really, I'm not.

Right, I can see that you're not offended.

But you seem stressed.

Do you want coffee?

Hey, you scared me.

What's up? How did you find me here?

I heard you and Hyun Oh broke up.

It's only been two days. How did you find out?

Joo Eun Ho.

What? Why are you suddenly calling me like that?

I thought I was your senior. Am I not?

Are you all right?

My gosh.

Darn.

Hello.

How may we help you?

I came to ask you a few questions.

I heard there was an accident in the area.

In front of the supermarket.

A woman got injured.

Oh, that young lady.

Yes, but I heard she ran away.

Does that mean...

Are you all right?

Have you eaten yet? Aren't you hungry?

Are you hurt?

Should I take you to a doctor?

Eun Ho.

Do you want to get changed?

I'll go and get some fresh clothes for you.

Don't go anywhere.

All my passwords are your birthday.

(I met Joo Yeon's mother. She gave me a ring. Yes!)

(I may have to quit everything.)

(I failed.)

(I just hate myself.)

(Jung Hyun Oh is getting married. Married? Who is he marrying?)

(Dear Eun Ho)

(Hello, Eun Ho. I am Joo Hye Ri, your alter ego.)

(I'm writing this because there's something I must tell you.)

(I've finally found happiness, and I...)

Hey, I'm just curious.

How should I address you?

Anyway,

you aren't Eun Ho.

Should I just call you Hye Ri?

Okay.

Get changed first.

Please, Hye Ri.

Get changed, and I'll cook you something good.

Hey, do you know something?

I can hold my liquor,

so I'll drink this for you.

And did you know?

There's something I know even though...

I've been feigning ignorance until now.

I think you and Hye Ri broke up.

Am I right?

(Chewy-licious conch from Jeju)

You see...

How would I not know that...

when all I do is stare at your face all day?

To be precise, it must've happened... Well...

About a month ago?

That was when you started looking awful.

And considering everything you've told me so far...

It's become clear to me that Hye Ri dumped you...

and that she was probably two-timing you.

I mean, you know.

The random talk about having two different hearts.

I bet Hye Ri two-timed you and suddenly broke things off with you.

Right?

Hye Yeon.

Yes, Joo Yeon?

Her heart...

There's only one.

It is true.

She only has...

one heart.

By any chance...

Can you not recognize me?

We've met before.

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

Is that so?

Then who are you?

Right. It's possible that you can't remember me.

Take your time.

I'm going upstairs, but I'll be back.

Jung Hyun Oh.

(Hye)

(Hye Ri)

Hello?

(Hye Ri)

Mr. Kang.

But I called Hye Ri's phone.

Well, I mean, Ms. Joo...

- No, Hye Ri... - This is Jung Hyun Oh.

Why are you answering her phone?

Eun Ho...

came back.

So where is she right now?

Is Hye Ri all right?

Where had she been?

What is she doing right now? Can I talk to her?

Mr. Jung.

Mr. Jung!

She's healthy and safe.

Bye.

(Missed calls, Kang Joo Yeon)

Thank you.

She's sleeping right now.

- Then... - I see. She's sleeping.

But who's sleeping?

I want to know...

if she is...

Hye Ri...

or Ms. Joo.

I guess you don't know.

Isn't that right, Hyun Oh?

By the way,

who are you?

My name is Moon Ji On. What's your name?

I'm Kang Joo Yeon.

I'm an announcer at Media N Seoul.

I see.

Media N Seoul rejected me.

Which crew?

I'm with the 34th crew at PPS.

If you're with the 34th crew...

- When did you start working there? - In March, 2019.

I see.

Then we started at the same time.

I also started working in 2019.

But I'm 35 years old.

I see.

I'm 32.

Well, you look younger than your age.

Since we started in the same year, I can speak casually, right?

No. You can't.

Hyun Oh.

Can I ask you what happened?

I already explained it earlier.

So I got that. Okay.

So Eun Ho has a dissociative identity disorder.

That's why she worked...

at Media N Seoul's parking lot as Joo Hye Ri.

That's where she met me.

She and I have been dating.

- How long? - A month.

A month? My gosh.

A month is such a short time that...

you'd be better off not dating at all.

What do you mean I would be better off not dating?

Picture a white canvas.

If a drop of paint falls on it,

then a blank canvas is better.

So tell me.

Is Hye Ri okay?

As I told you,

- she's healthy and safe. - No.

I'm asking which personality she's exhibiting now.

If she's Hye Ri right now,

I think I should be her guardian.

Gosh, no way.

You can't trust a guy she met only a month ago.

You see, Eun Ho and I never dated.

But I've known her for five years.

Then I should be her guardian.

Even if we had met only a month ago,

we professed love for each other.

So I believe I deserve to be her guardian.

Hey.

Guardians can't have personal feelings...

because they ought to focus only on protecting her.

In that sense, I'm the best person...

No.

I believe guardians must have their personal feelings involved.

My gosh, do people look for love when hiring caretakers?

Yes. When I hired my mother's caretaker,

I made sure there was love.

You can't bring up your mother now. That's cheating.

Then should I bring up my mother too?

- You see, my mother... - Is this conversation necessary?

Why must one of us be the guardian?

Eun Ho is an adult.

- But she's sick. - Yes, she is.

Fine. If that's the case...

She and I dated for eight years and fell in love.

And seeing how I have no personal feelings now,

I should be her guardian. Only that would be fair.

Right?

Don't you agree?

So go home now.

Please go.

I'll keep her safe. Me, a 37-year-old guy.

So where's Hyun Oh?

He didn't come home last night.

What? What is it?

Then call him.

I called him because you need to go to the hospital today.

But he didn't answer it.

What?

I think Hyun Oh is going crazy.

Why?

He called me just now and said...

he wouldn't be able to attend the meetings for the time being...

without giving me an explanation.

- What? Is that so odd? - My gosh.

Yes, it is odd.

It's odd for Mr. Jung.

My gosh. This has never happened to me before.

What's going on? Ms. Moon.

What's wrong with him?

Why are you asking me that?

I thought you guys were like family.

Then you must know the story behind it...

and why he's suddenly acting like this.

Aren't families the last to learn about each other's personal matters?

Is that so?

Shall we head out?

Wait here for a minute.

Let me talk to him.

I told you I'd contact you...

- Hye Ri... - Hold on.

Talk to me first.

Is she Hye Ri or Eun Ho?

We're going to see her doctor now.

I'll let you know when we return.

But...

Honestly, I don't care.

I really don't care...

whether she's Hye Ri or not.

I don't care, Hye Ri.

Because...

I just need you to be here.

- Listen, Mr. Kang. - You don't have to be next to me.

Knowing that you're healthy and alive...

is more than enough for me.

You don't have to love me.

Even if you return to the forest, I'm fine with it.

I can go with you if you want me to.

I can throw away everything and go with you.

None of that scares me, Hye Ri.

Mr. Kang.

Hye Ri is currently not in the condition to listen to you.

Since, Hye Ri,

I didn't grow feelings for you because you were Hye Ri.

You...

chose me for who I was.

That was why...

I liked you, Hye Ri.

And so...

I missed you, Hye Ri.

In short, this was an idea mentioned last time.

We left it aside because it was too serious for "Issue In."

To celebrate your return, we could...

use it. Right.

It's a good idea.

Hyun Oh.

Hey, Hyun Oh?

Please give me a moment.

Jung Hyun Oh.

I need to talk to Mr. Kang.

Hyun Oh?

Hyun Oh!

Yes? What is it? What?

Pull yourself together.

What's wrong with you?

Right.

How have you been?

I've been...

fine.

Are you in pain?

Do you feel well?

Yes.

I'm okay.

What about right now?

Are you Hye Ri...

or Eun Ho?

I'm...

What are you doing here, Hyun Oh?

Weren't you taking the day off?

- I'll just take half the day off. - What?

Good grief. Everyone does as they please.

You were taking the day off but suddenly showed up to work midday.

What's wrong with you? Really.

You're acting strange.

- Gather around, guys. - Hey, stop!

That only came in two months ago!

Are you lots crazy?

Hyun Oh.

Hyun Oh.

Let's talk.

What is it?

I went to Giyi Village too.

You did what?

Shim Jin Hwa told me...

she saw Joo Eun Ho when she filmed something over there.

And?

"And?"

You had already picked Eun Ho up.

- So what? - Right.

So,

I went to the forest.

"The forest?"

The forest Joo Eun Ho...

stayed in.

Do you know why Joo Eun Ho...

went into that forest?

I don't.

She wanted to abandon herself.

By even cutting her arms, she wanted to...

abandon herself.

If I were her, I would've hated this place.

I would've really hated the name Joo Eun Ho.

And like Joo Hye Ri, Eun Ho cut her arm...

and stayed there.

You know Joo Hye Ri.

She's loved by Kang Joo Yeon...

and had nothing to worry about.

Rather than a place where she was a nobody...

no matter how hard she tried.

Rather than a place where she had to suffer because of you,

that forest treated her better.

Eun Ho...

I think she wanted to become Hye Ri.

That was why she abandoned everything and ran away.

Hyun Oh...

You see...

Guess...

what I found there.

She would have wanted to throw everything away,

but Eun Ho took that with her.

Hyun Oh.

I really...

envy you. But at the same time,

I hate you.

Until now, I thought you were in no way qualified.

So I was hoping to get a chance...

if I waited long enough.

But Joo Eun Ho...

could throw away everything but you.

She could give up on everything,

but not you.

Even if you're not qualified, Joo Eun Ho...

Eun Ho...

only needs you.

Hyun Oh.

You're one lucky man.

To be loved like that.

Here.

Seriously.

You have to get it for me, okay?

Do you have a loose screw in that head?

I'm perfectly sane.

I only drew it since you offered to buy it.

Shouldn't one keep their promises?

Fine, whatever.

I'll get you the darn necklace.

I...

I'm Eun Ho,

Mr. Kang.

However,

I desperately wanted to be Hye Ri.

Is that why...

you tried to become her?

Yes.

I wanted to know why she was so happy.

(One month ago)

(Giyi Village)

There was something...

I've been meaning to ask her.

"Joo Hye Ri".

"Are you happy"?

If you are,

I'll try...

to live as you.

If I try,

it could work.

I've been living as you in a way anyway.

But Hye Ri,

I'm truly curious.

You have nothing.

So why...

How on earth...

can you be happy?

Wait. Hey.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

In the end,

I failed to become her...

and returned home.

Hye Ri.

I...

Eun Ho, I'm heading out.

Sure. Don't forget your umbrella.

I was never happy.

- Eun Ho. - Yes?

Not even for a second.

Can you hug me in bed again?

You just can't bring yourself to turn people down.

Do it again.

Maybe I should stay a little longer.

You should.

Just for a little while.

Let's do that.

Just for a little while.

Okay.

Because today...

is a special day.

What's special about today?

You see, today...

(My Hye Ri)

Today...

I really didn't want to be alone.

(My Hye Ri)

You know what?

I'm afraid...

I can never be Hye Ri, Mr. Kang.

But I truly don't care.

No matter who you are, I...

This will probably...

be the end for us.

No way.

- That's not... - I wanted to bid you farewell.

I was desperate for love,

and I wanted to thank you...

for loving and cherishing me.

What you said to me earlier...

was what I wanted to say to you.

You're right.

I wasn't fond of you because you were Joo Yeon.

You came to me,

and I was grateful since I felt like I didn't deserve it,

Mr. Kang.

I hope you don't leave.

Who?

Me?

Yes.

I wish...

for you to always be by my side.

Can you do that, Hyun Oh?

Sure. Of course.

Until when will you love me?

I'm going to date you all my life.

I didn't mean how long we were going to date.

Your love for me.

How long will you love me?

Forever.

Hey, what about that plant next to it?

Is it once a month or two?

Also, how...

Sir, I'll just get off here.

I...

I believed that I was never happy.

But?

It isn't true.

I was filled with joy today.

I see.

Because I was with you?

What the...

Why are you smiling?

It's because you're...

Do you love me that much?

If he comes back to me,

I'll tell him.

I should.

I should tell him.

Thank you, my love,

for loving someone like me.

Thank you so much.

(Dear Hyeri)

I missed you.

Even though we saw each other every day?

Yes.

Even though I saw you every day.

Likewise.

I missed you every day as well.
