Original subtitles

For a moment,

I wished you weren't a robot.

How would it have been...

if I weren't a robot?

I'll return to being a slave robot again.

Goodbye,

So-bong.

If I could be sad if we broke up...

-It's fun. -Me too. Me too.

To the right.

If I could be happy when I'm with you...

Here we go.

You're a robot.

But why does my heart hurt so much?

If my heart would break because of you...

Don't go anywhere.

Don't go anywhere.

If I could cry for you...

I like you.

I like you, too,

So-bong.

However,

I'm a robot...

that can't feel love.

Then why am I doing this?

Why are you looking at So-bong like that?

What's your problem?

I must...

take you away from him.

Is this jealousy?

Why am I saying this?

I was just fooling around.

Why are you so serious?

Don't fool around with So-bong like that again.

Fine.

But you really seem jealous.

People would think you're in love.

I'm leaving.

Thanks for doing what I asked.

I won't ask Mom difficult questions again.

I have nothing to ask anymore anyway.

I'm leaving.

What? He wants your help again?

Why do you keep doing things for him?

And why did he want to ask Dr. Oh...

which of you is more important?

He did it to hurt you...

and make Dr. Oh uncomfortable.

Thanks to that, I told Mom everything I wanted to say.

I said she doesn't need to worry about me anymore.

Are you okay?

I have you now.

What's this? I like hearing that,

so say it often.

Still, don't meet with that jerk again.

Once you're done playing as him,

you'll never have to see him again.

Why did you do that to So-bong?

Asking her to protect you... and if she hates you because you're human.

Why would you say that?

I was messing with her.

I found it funny to see her liking a robot.

Shin. I'm here.

Is everything okay?

Yes. Everything's fine.

Did you go somewhere?

Did you meet someone?

No.

I just went out for a walk.

Get better soon, and take walks with me.

I'll go get some rest.

Thank you for everything, Mom.

For creating me and watching over me.

I'll remember that.

Please eat, will you?

Starving yourself won't change anything.

You'll just get sick and die sooner.

I'm trying to just die, okay?

Dad.

Even when So-bong...

quit fighting and struggled...

or upset me with the hidden camera thing,

I called her garbage and acted harsh on her,

but...

I was hurt inside my heart.

Because I knew the world had hurt her.

Because that happened to my baby...

because I had no power or money.

But what? A robot?

What? She likes a robot?

I mean...

How is that different from liking this wall?

The world has already hurt her enough.

Why must her love be like that too? Why?

If you die, there will be no one to stop her.

So don't be stubborn, and eat just a bit.

I can't bear to see her be in pain again.

I'll just stop eating and die peacefully.

Seriously.

Mr. Kang. Shin and So-bong are here.

What?

I don't need it. Get out.

Get out of my house. Get out of my gym.

Get out of my daughter's heart!

-What's wrong with you? -What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you?

How could you love something that isn't even human?

Acting like a human doesn't make it one!

"It"?

Who are you?

I'm his dad.

-David. -Quiet, my son.

"My son"?

You're its dad?

A robot has a dad, too?

The jerk who made this thing?

That mad scientist like in the comics?

Stop calling him like that.

I gave birth to him with my heart.

Just as you are So-bong's dad,

I am his dad.

So? What will you do about it?

Then what will you do about it?

What? Fine. Hit me. Hit me.

-What do you think you're doing? -Seriously.

Stop it already.

Let's not get physical. Let's talk it out. Okay?

Do you know what So-bong is like?

When she was five, she put on a glove herself,

and fractured my nose with her left hook.

You call that strength?

Six months after I made Shin, he almost pulled out a street lamp

with his two little fingers.

Good for you.

So keep that great son of yours under control.

I'll control my daughter.

Sure. Fine. Let's do that.

Let's split them up.

Do you really think they'd split up?

-What? -What?

If your human daughter and your robot son...

listened to you, why would you be like this here?

A human and a robot's love story.

What if the world finds out?

They'd be treated like monkeys in a zoo.

You two should be working together.

But instead, the dads are being like this.

Let me ask you something.

Does he have any weaknesses?

Like in the movies, will he stop moving...

if you touch something by mistake?

Sorry?

If a robot stops moving, that means it's dead.

No parent would put in something to kill their child.

-Isn't that right? -Yes.

Of course. Yes.

I suddenly miss him.

I'm going to make a call.

A man who uses his brain is so sexy.

That guy is so sexy.

What? Sexy?

But why am I "Dad" when he's "a guy"?

You can't get rid of the kill switch?

I was upset, which was why I wanted to see him.

But I feel too bad to even face him.

This is because I'm not skilled enough.

It's fine as long as we have it, so don't worry.

I'll have to pick Dr. Oh's brain when I can.

I'll go to her, so tell him bye for me.

Okay. I'll return to the company with So-bong tomorrow.

It was Young-hoon.

He told us to return to the office and to the house.

I don't like you being in that house.

It won't be for long.

That's right. Your hand.

You need to bandage it like the human Nam Shin.

You asked if that was jealousy, right?

When you said you had to take me away from him.

Did you really feel jealousy?

You didn't even want to see his face and got so angry?

I did act before making my judgment,

but I don't know what jealousy is.

Many humans don't know their feelings either.

Your emotions are embedded within your actions.

Other people may not know, but I do.

Emotions are embedded within actions.

We're going to sleep here with you today.

We'll watch you and guard you...

so you don't stop breathing.

Really? Then I'll...

entrust you guys with him.

Okay, so let go. It hurts.

-Stop it. -Come on!

Tap. Tap.

Goodnight.

Why are you glaring at us? It's scary.

He looks like he could kill with just his glare.

Emotions are embedded within actions.

Did you go somewhere?

Did you meet someone?

No.

I just went out for a walk.

Liar.

DAD

DAD

Ye-na. Why do you keep avoiding my calls?

You're with that jerk, aren't you?

You knew he woke up,

but you lied to me!

It's been a while, Mr. Suh.

You really came.

I thought I should at least come by.

I guess you aren't fully recovered.

My brain is fine.

I clearly remember things I don't want to, too.

That's a relief, Mr. Nam.

"A relief"?

That's odd to hear from the man who tried to kill me.

Why did you try to kill me?

Because I knew something about my father?

I came because of what you said last night.

I don't understand what you meant at all.

You're lying again.

You knew why I had left.

That's why you sent someone and made me like this.

One more thing.

Thanks to you, a ridiculous robot made an entrance, too.

This is unfair.

I really didn't know why you had left.

I heard the guy who was following me died.

Murder disguised as a hit-and-run.

I heard that from Ye-na.

She's very well-informed just like her dad.

You had Ye-na...

do something like that?

I didn't. She did it on her own.

She could die right this instant if I told her to.

Didn't you know that?

I was just kidding.

You still have no sense of humor at all.

You have no sense of humor either.

Do you think I care about my daughter, who betrayed me?

Why don't you test me if you want?

Now, you show your true colors.

You'll have to worry more about Ye-na's life.

Since she's the only person who cares only about you.

Because Dr. Oh's other son is doing such a great job...

at home and at the office.

"Other son"?

That ridiculous robot you mentioned earlier.

Mr. Ji and the chairman...

seem to like him a lot.

It'll be quite a pain...

to replace that robot.

I'll see you around.

Let me ask you one last thing.

Do you really like that jerk?

I'm tired. Let's stop.

Even if he kills me?

You tried to kill him, too.

I'll erase every memory of you...

from the day you were born to this very moment.

Now,

I have no daughter.

Why didn't you tell me you called my dad here?

Don't you think about me at all?

Do you think I want to see you together?

Why did you meet with him?

To talk about killing each other?

It would be better not to know.

I don't want to see you get hurt.

I betrayed my dad to come to you.

I have the right to know what's going on.

Whether I'm hurt by that or not...

is up to me to deal with.

So don't try to fool me anymore.

Sorry, Ye-na.

You know you're all I have.

Don't see my dad again.

What is this all about?

You called...

Mr. Suh here?

I had to find out something from him.

-What? -Later.

I'll tell you later.

What are you thinking?

This happened to my son because he came to see me,

but I feel like there's nothing I can do for you.

I didn't go to see you.

-What? -I didn't go there to see you.

I didn't see you for 20 years.

Why would I have wanted to see you?

I wanted to check something,

but once I saw that, it all became meaningless.

I shouldn't have gone.

I should've just lived without knowing anything.

Shin?

I told you before.

I'm sure Shin knows something about Jung-woo.

That can't be possible.

How long will you do this?

"Because I knew something about my father?"

That's exactly what he said.

He even went to the Czech Republic for that.

Why are you laughing?

My apologies.

I realized that it's a relief.

The fact that you, who went through it with me,

are by my side...

is so encouraging.

Even if Shin digs it all up,

it doesn't worry me at all.

After all,

I was nothing but your puppet.

What was that?

I won't worry preemptively.

I'm sure you'll handle your own grandson.

Just like you did to your son.

I need to go. I have work to do for the MediCar.

It's a project that you're especially interested in.

I have to make it a success.

He nearly died. What is he thinking?

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Yes, I'll call.

Yes.

Bro!

Weren't you ever confused?

You know me the best.

I said, "Bro," but you didn't get mad.

I called you that because I won't be here much longer.

May I do it again?

Please do as you please.

The chairman would like to see you for lunch.

-Okay. -I'll go up then.

Did I do something wrong?

His voice tone is different.

He's being cold on purpose.

I told you to ignore things like that.

He's trying keep his distance from you.

You shouldn't point it out like that.

Mr. Nam really sent the material.

This is a lot.

It's been translated and summarized, too.

How did he do this all by himself?

He's so mysterious. Maybe he really is a robot.

Mr. Suh should've asked me first.

He threw down a doll...

and said Mr. Nam was a robot.

He must've wanted revenge for calling off the wedding.

It didn't look like a doll to me.

Jin-soo. Let me see that again.

Isn't that mask under the skin...

exquisite for a doll?

Even Hollywood does this much.

They know the real technology is impossible.

What's impossible?

"Man can do all."

It's a logo that says human can do everything.

This project will combine our self-driving car,

the M-Car, along with the new M-Car concept...

in order to accomplish...

the chairman's big picture.

People can accomplish anything.

They'll probably make people like you too soon.

Wouldn't it be quicker...

to make a robot that's more human than them?

Don't you agree?

It's lunch time.

I'll turn it off again if you pass the closing hour.

I saw a shrimp restaurant.

-Shrimp sounds good. -Okay. We should go there then.

-But it's expensive there. -We can spend that much.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm a bit late.

-Are you on your way to lunch? -Yes.

Come with us.

Okay.

It'll be my treat today.

Go ahead before me. I'll be right there.

-Enjoy. -Enjoy.

We should wait for Mr. Nam.

He's on a diet, so he's skipping lunch.

Let's just eat by ourselves.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-Please enjoy. -We will.

For your headache.

You get them often, Mom.

Thanks.

You really look like mother-and-son now.

You must be a good son.

You seem like a completely different person lately.

I'm saying we like it.

Of course I'm different.

Isn't that right, So-bong?

Yes, you're completely different.

Don't go back to how you used to be, okay?

I may. People always change.

No, sir. Our self-driving car team is finally doing well.

I'm against it, too. It wasn't fun before.

If I suddenly change and act awkward around you,

please follow Ms. Oh's orders.

She'll do her best for her son.

I have plans with the chairman.

So-bong, enjoy your lunch.

Thank you. I'll see you later.

MEDICINE

-Pardon? -Why are you so surprised?

I asked when I should give the company to Shin.

I never thought about it, so I was caught off-guard.

He has good momentum right now,

and he seems ready. That's why I asked.

You must agree...

that the Shin now is better than the Shin from before.

Why can't you answer me?

Do you think otherwise?

No, sir.

Good timing.

Sit down.

You didn't eat yet, right?

I did. I ate with my team.

I asked when I should give you the company,

but he won't answer me.

I guess...

you haven't gained his trust yet.

I also believe he is better prepared than before.

I think it will be better to pass it on to him

as soon as possible.

I'm glad you feel the same way I do.

Let's find a way to hand it over to him quietly...

without making a big fuss.

You didn't eat yet, right?

I did. I ate with my team.

Don't tell me... Is it him?

What are you doing? Why are you drinking?

I haven't drunk in a while. My head's spinning.

I'm hurt. How could you not recognize me?

You're Shin.

That's right. I'm Shin.

Not the fake Shin you're confused about. The real Shin.

You don't want to eat, but you're drinking?

It's been a while since I last saw you drink.

Does it taste good?

Yes. It's not bad for something you drink.

You always drank cheap stuff.

I've gotten old,

so my stomach isn't as strong.

Young-hoon.

Would you excuse us?

I have a lot to say with him today.

What are you waiting for?

Didn't you hear him?

Yes, sir.

Drink only as much as you can handle.

Was Dad a good drinker?

Do I take after him?

This is unusual.

You never talked about your dad.

What kind of a son was he?

Were you sad when he died?

I was not sad.

I can't be sad.

A parent who buries their child...

has no right to be sad.

But...

why do you ask?

As I draw closer to my dad's age when I last saw him,

I wonder what he lived for when he died.

I became curious.

What do you live for?

What is it...

that you truly want?

You know.

I want your company.

What will you do with it?

I'll chop it up into pieces and sell them off.

What?

Just kidding.

It's like your life. I couldn't possibly sell it.

Pour me another.

I feel like I've just overcome death.

I think I should have at least three shots.

Let's talk.

What are you trying to pull?

I wanted to see if you badmouth me behind my back.

Who are you to decide whether I get what's mine or not?

It's not like that.

Even if you return, you'll need time to adjust.

It's yours anyway. It's good to get it ahead of time.

Who says I need it?

-What? -Did I say I need it?

You can't say that.

You know everyone went crazy because of you.

You're right.

All of you had a robot to replace me.

-Shin. -Did you think I'd thank you?

When did I ever want Grandpa's position?

Maybe you're the one who wants it.

-Since you'll get more if I'm a chairman. -Enough!

What's wrong with you?

I did all sorts of things to protect you.

That's how we got to where we are.

How could you say that?

Do you want to hear that you're worse than a robot?

Please get your act together.

I'm worse than a robot?

I got too worked up.

You're not even well.

Shin.

Don't come after me.

You really seem like Shin...

when you're in his clothes like that.

Thanks for agreeing to the sudden request.

Shin must've really wanted to see his grandpa.

Are you my watch dog?

Why would I watch you?

You can't both be out there at the same time.

Hi, Shin. Where are you?

I'm almost there. I'll be there soon.

Something fun just came up.

Wait a little longer.

One Americano, please.

Okay. Wait a few minutes.

What are you doing? Who said you could come out?

I noticed your GPS was drawing closer to So-bong's.

You can't come out until I go back.

What's it to you whom I meet and what I do?

I permitted it because you wanted to see Grandpa.

What? "Permitted it"?

I concluded it was improper to suddenly give an order,

but I assumed you missed your family, so I accepted it.

However, So-bong is different.

I am simply pretending to be you.

You and So-bong have nothing to do with each other.

So-bong is my person and mine alone.

Don't show up like this again.

So-bong.

What are you doing here?

So?

Shin showed up and asked to swap clothes, so you did.

And you were locked in Ms. Suh's car while he was out?

You may get angry. You have every right to.

No. I won't get mad at you.

It's wrong to be emotional to you when you can't feel emotions.

If I want to understand you,

I must be rational and reasonable like you.

Are you okay?

I can't do it. I'm just an emotional human.

I'm angry. I'm so angry that it drives me crazy.

Don't smile.

I don't like that jerk mistreating you.

You have to hide whenever that jerk comes out.

You did nothing wrong.

I hate seeing you being treated like that.

It must've been so uncomfortable in Ms. Suh's car.

I should've been with you...

so that I can hit her if she treats you like an object.

You're pretty.

What?

That's what I would've said if I were a human.

You're pretty, So-bong.

What...

If you were a human,

what about me would you have thought as pretty?

Answer me.

-What is it? -Quit right now.

My fiancee doesn't like you being with my face.

I heard there's a manual override to control that thing you love.

If you don't quit, I'll put that on him. So quit.

Happy?

I didn't want to see So-bong.

I find it silly to like a robot. I wanted to tease her.

Why is it funny? Why would you tease her?

That's all interest.

Ye-na.

Do that again, and I'll make you pay.

Who was it? Why were you so serious?

Ms. Suh.

She thanked you for letting him meet his grandpa.

She already thanked me earlier.

-She did? -Yes.

I guess she wanted to say it again.

Let's go.

You have to tell me what about me is pretty tomorrow.

Okay.

You're right.

All of you had a robot to replace me.

Did you think I'd thank you?

When did I ever want Grandpa's position?

Maybe you're the one who wants it.

-When did you get here? -3 minutes 47 seconds ago.

You're always so exact.

Earlier today,

I saw Shin at the office.

How much of the human Nam Shin's favors must I do?

Must I do it even if it's something bad?

It may be bad to me, but good for him.

That won't happen.

What's right or wrong isn't all that complicated.

Humans complicate it for their own gain.

If you conclude it's bad, it's bad for Shin, too,

so refuse it at least for his sake.

Thank you so much for trusting my judgment.

Are you distancing yourself from me?

Can't we meet again in the future?

I'm a robot, too.

Do you still like me?

Shin?

Where is he?

Hee-dong!

Hee-dong!

Where did he go?

Was he in your room again?

Put him down over here.

Thanks. I'll make sure he doesn't go there again.

There's no need.

Let him play whenever he wants.

Stop giving him hope.

Don't act close to him.

You and he will grow apart with time.

As he get older, you'll think he's after what's yours.

What does that have to do with playing in my room?

-What? -Whatever happens later on,

is it bad for him to play in my room?

It isn't bad, but...

Don't worry about the future.

It's more important for kids to play when they can.

You should play with him in my room, too.

Hi, Dad.

Shin, let's talk.

What do you live for?

What is it that you truly want?

You know.

I want your company.

What will you do with it?

I'll chop it up into pieces and sell them off.

What...

do you live for?

What is it that you truly want?

I don't want anything.

I'm sure.

Since you never had any ambition.

That's not what I mean.

Wanting something...

means you lack the strength to take it.

So?

I have the strength to take it all.

Be it wisdom, physical strength, or information.

As in, you can have anything you set your mind to,

so there's no need...

to want anything In the first place?

Yes.

I simply don't use that strength since I don't need to.

You rude jerk.

I only spoke the truth.

So did I.

Because even if you are rude, I can't complain.

Do you really...

have no desire to live as my grandson?

I'm sure my question sounded strange.

Since you already are my grandson in every way.

You may go.

You simply don't use that strength...

since you don't need to?

CHAMPION GYM

My fiancee doesn't like you being with my face.

I hear there's a manual override...

to control that thing you love.

If you don't quit, I'll put that on him.

So quit.

Wicked brat.

Why did you put this on me?

You're a bad daughter to me.

I know I am.

That's why I won't apologize either.

-What? -I never did what you told me to,

and I probably won't.

Listen to her. She's so arrogant.

Sure, you wouldn't be my daughter...

if you listened to me.

So give it up.

I won't break up with him.

Why are you just like me?

Couldn't you be different?

Couldn't you be different from me?

That's nothing good.

You're equally as stupid,

pigheaded, and frustrating.

If you think it's wrong, turn away.

If you think you'll get hurt, turn around.

Even if I couldn't do it,

can't you live like that, So-bong?

I tried really hard to not like him.

But I just couldn't.

Fine. Sure.

If my daughter was clever,

she would've left a long time ago.

This is all my fault.

It's my fault...

for making you a stupid fool.

Dad.

Don't you do this, too.

Everyone tells me...

to leave him.

They threaten me and tell me to stop guarding him.

I know I shouldn't do this to you,

but still.

Can't you not do this to me?

I want to stay with him, Dad.

I want to stay with him until the very end.

It's okay. It's okay. Stop crying.

Stop crying.

Stop crying.

I won't stop you...

or cheer you on.

But...

don't do anything...

that will get you hurt.

If you get hurt,

I'll break that little punk.

Dad...

The sun feels good.

I hope it's just as sunny...

on the day I die.

Why are you saying that?

Everyone grows old and dies.

That's human life. You get old, get sick, and you die.

My body will rot, but there's nothing I can do.

I'm worried about the company though.

You have Shin,

so you don't need to worry.

Do you trust that punk?

Which Shin?

The old Shin,

or the new Shin?

I trust you...

more than I trust him.

Putting blood aside...

and judging objectively,

you're the only one...

who won't ruin my company.

-Sir. -What?

Do you feel guilty toward Shin? Or...

are you offended that I treat you like Jong-gil?

Cast off all of those cumbersome emotions,

and judge.

Who's perfect to replace me?

You.

Yes, I am.

I'm confident, and I want it, too.

But I only think about it.

I don't want to strive for it.

May I ask why?

I don't want to live like you.

-What? -If I want to feed my greed,

I must cast off my own son and grandson...

and suspect everyone like you do.

Does a life like that make you happy, sir?

You seem very unhappy in my eyes.

I don't want to live like that.

I was lonely all my life, so I don't want to hurt Shin,

who was also lonely all his life.

I don't want to make you nervous either.

You don't say it,

but you're always afraid someone will pass you.

I'd rather want less and live a happy life.

I'll take care of Shin and serve you...

to be less lonely.

Loser.

Yes, I am a loser.

I'll be leaving then.

Young-hoon.

What is that punk to you?

That punk? Who...

The robot that looks like Shin.

BOXING GYM CHAMPION GYM

Dad. I told you.

You can't stop me.

Gosh, you stupid fool. You're so absentminded.

Thank you.

I'm going to see the person who told me to quit.

I'll say I will never quit.

Do whatever you want. Go.

I'll be back, sir.

My daughter's so pretty.

Who is it?

I came to see Nam Shin.

This must feel like Mom's womb to you.

You were made in a room like this.

So-bong will not quit.

I came to tell you that.

Did she tattle?

No. I can hear everything through the phone.

I have hypersensitive sight and hearing.

She's your guard. You're not her agent.

I spoke to her. Why are you stepping in?

She has nothing to do with you.

Only I can make my guard quit.

You forgot you were made to replace me.

You just have to do what I tell you do.

Are you having a date here?

Why are you both here?

He's here?

Why must I do that?

-What? -You must be confused.

I'm helping you. You don't control me.

You can ask me for favors,

but you can't order me around.

If you want something, ask nicely.

Don't make threats.

No. I enjoy making threats than requests.

You have no emotions, so threats don't work.

Then what must I mess with for you to obey?

What's the most precious to you?

Is it So-bong?

Don't touch So-bong.

-Ever. -How dare you threaten me?

Are you insane? What are you doing?

He's more disgusting because he's fine.

He can't feel pain or emotions.

Stop it!

You'll get hurt. Stand behind me.

Are you kidding me?

You must really think you're human.

Watch. See who's really human.

No!

You were always Nam Shin, and you still are.

Do you like him that much?

What exactly is the manual override mode?

-Why are you doing this? -It's not about Shin.

Talk about yourself.

Does Grandpa know about me?
