Original subtitles

- Kwon? - Yes.

Has there been any contact from Kang Hee?

A little while ago, she went up with ice cream.

- Kang Hee came? - Yes.

What's with the ice cream? She's not a child.

She didn't bring mine?

What?

So, Kang Hee has returned.

Why?

♪ Ddandan ddandan ♪

♪ Ddaddaddda ddadda ♪

♪ Ddan ddanddan ♪

Wait.

Is this Kang Hee's?

Ji Chun Pil's daughter, Ji Kang Hee.

Open the door, please.

- Hide! Hide! - Huh?

I told you to hide!

Welcome drink prepared wholeheartedly for my daughter.

Home sweet home.

Open the door, will you, Kang Hee?

No, does it have to be now?

Please open the door. Your welcome drink has arrived.

It's a beautiful day. Please open the door.

Welcome to your sweet home! This was your dad's dream.

A thoughtful dad dedicating this to his daughter.

It's locked.

Kang Hee, did you see the flowers in the vase?

- Yes. - While walking along the path,

I found the wildflowers so beautiful, so I brought them for you.

I just put them there for you…

Won't you open the door?

I'll go out.

Go out, where to? I'm outside now.

- I'll go out. - Oh, my head.

Ah, sorry. I'm sorry, are you okay?

What's going on in your room?

What could be there? How can you come unannounced like this?

How do you know who I'd be with? How can you just show up like this?

- Who were you with? - No.

It's not that I'm with someone, but what if I had been?

Ms. Kang Hee.

- You should've told me you're coming. - Were you with someone?

No!

How long has it been for us?

My goodness?

Why is everyone coming to my room?

Dad's like this, you know.

The two of you talk comfortably.

Thank you.

My room is here. Yes.

Please go in and talk.

- Yes. - Yes, yes.

- Please go in. - Then, I'll take a look at your room…

Let's go down and talk. Ah, come quickly.

- He said go in… - Where would you go uninvited?

This is driving me crazy.

Hearing about Ms. Kang Hee's arrival from someone else would be inconvenient.

If your boyfriend doesn't even know that, how weird would it look?

- Daughter. - Why?

Hide! Hide!

Why did I do that?

Right? You'll reflect on it, won't you?

I understand.

You wanted to give me a surprise, didn't you?

Will he be angry?

Don't worry, I'm not angry.

- Ms. Kang Hee. - Yes?

It's like the mood has changed a bit.

What has changed, exactly?

You've said all you had to, right?

See you tomorrow.

Can you be friends with me?

I don't want to.

You went out.

Yes. I was just about to call.

Why?

You first, you called.

Shall we meet for a moment?

Shall we?

Now?

Now.

See you on the rooftop.

You can be friends with me?

You can't, right?

Yes, I can.

No, just imagine if you thought of me as a friend.

Why would you have hidden me when your father came?

You could just say we ate ice cream together.

For fear of being misunderstood.

Okay, let's say that's the case.

But you and I can't be friends, we even kissed.

So what if we kissed once, does that make us something?

- How old-fashioned. - To say it's nothing even after a kiss?

You were the one who kissed, not me.

You liked it too, didn't you?

You clung to it, saying it was good, and even embraced me.

What? Then what is that?

I don't remember.

You don't remember?

So, do you remember everything every time you do it?

Every time?

You must have done it a lot, huh?

Of course.

Don't tell me you haven't done it once since then.

That time?

You remember that.

Honestly,

if I had known you'd leave me, I wouldn't have slept with you then.

Kang Hee,

was it nothing to you?

To me, it's a memory I'll cherish for a lifetime.

Was it so insignificant and trivial to you?

Who said it was nothing?

It was my first time too.

But what about it, what now? Coming to this.

Once the construction is over, I'll leave Hana-eup.

And you'll live in this godforsaken place for the rest of your life.

I can go now.

If you're fine with it, I can follow you anywhere.

I've told you so many times.

But you didn't come.

After agreeing to go to Seoul with me,

you made me go alone.

Yes.

I'm sorry for that.

Because I regretted that,

I kept trying to come to you.

But you cut off contact first and pushed me away.

Don't you think about my efforts?

Every time I barely reached out to you, you pushed me off the cliff.

Let's stop this.

It's all in the past.

It's all bothersome.

Okay.

Let's stop this.

[Motel California]

Cheon Yeon Soo!

Ma'am, I need to wait, right?

Yes, please wait a moment.

Huh? Unnie!

Ms. Nan Woo.

Director.

How can you and Esther manage to still be friends?

Is this a situation of jealousy now? That kind of scenario?

I'm really just curious.

How can a man and a woman stay friends all their lives?

How do you do that?

Was there never a crisis?

- A crisis? - Like, you both

seeing each other as the opposite sex, for example?

Wow! Yes!

Kang Hee is finally starting to be curious about me.

No, that's not it…

Ugh, never mind, pretend you didn't hear it.

It's something that can be misunderstood, but,

we're just real friends.

- Let's make it 45 millimeters. - Yes.

You placed the order for Remadil, right?

Ah, yes, I've checked it.

Next.

And…

Huh? Unnie?

I felt cold while passing by. Can I have a cup of tea before I go?

Oh, of course! Chamomile, right?

Yes.

You'll have some too, right, boss?

Drink it and go.

Boss, where are you going?

Veterinary visit.

Where's the visit to?

There were no reservations today.

He left his scarf behind. He'll be cold.

Come with me to the rooftop.

What is this from you?

Why are you giving this back to me again?

Are you disregarding someone's sincerity?

Give it to your boyfriend.

Stop right there.

If you don't accept this now, it's the end.

I won't be friends.

We're already over, aren't we?

Wasn't it the end from the time you dumped me at the hotel?

Are you taking revenge on me right now?

Drink this and go back.

Drink it and go.

I sent you a purple message. You gave me chamomile and just left.

Give it to your girlfriend later.

You're just mirroring the same words I said when I gave you the necklace.

Think whatever you want.

It's childish. So childish. Haven't you grown up at all?

Is it all about growing tall?

What about your heart not growing at all?

You weren't this childish even when you were younger.

You understood and accepted everything I did.

Mirroring.

Wow! Why is he like that, really?

Manager.

Yes, I'm coming.

Isn't it a bit different?

This wall has a different size from the blueprint?

Manager.

I'm coming.

The angle of this handrail doesn't match the original design.

Manager.

Almost there.

We need to select the electrical team before our team can enter.

Ah, my hands are shaking.

Manager, manager come out, over.

- Yes? - To the first floor.

Ms. Nan Woo called.

Unnie, a donkey is coming to our hospital.

We need to build a house urgently.

Could you help us?

Tsk!

Did Yeon Soo send you to ask me?

The director went to pick up the donkey.

I'm just asking you for a favor.

Director.

I heard you were building a house for the donkey.

Can you do it alone?

Really. What do you think a large animal veterinarian is?

Building houses for migratory birds and enclosures for wild animals is our specialty.

I'll help you.

It's okay.

[Hana Veterinary Clinic Parking Lot]

Many hands make light work.

You know, they say, practice makes perfect.

Contrary to what I thought, I'm accustomed to the construction site.

Perhaps it would be better without my help?

No, what's this about your major being building houses for wild animals?

Did you build an anthill or something?

And you said you were used to the site's meals, so it seems that's all you've had.

Besides, people can't build anthills.

Huh? Unnie!

What are you two doing right now?

They've been like that since earlier, I wonder if they will end it today.

Wait, did you cut that in the right size?

Hold on.

Did you cut this the wrong size?

We're already short on wood. What can we do if you mess it up like this?

You're really not helping.

No, there is plenty of wood.

Cheon Yeon Soo,

you're going to build a fence, right?

Let's go to the site together to load materials.

Never mind, it's late.

If Kang Hee does it, it'll be done quickly. Come with me.

You can't just let anyone into the construction site.

Car keys.

- Hurry up and give it to me. - Hurry!

Please load this into the car.

- This one? - Yes.

I'll do it. Load this up, please.

♫ ♫

Please install this here.

Can you install this for me?

♫ ♫

Now, everyone. It's completed.

Wow!

Can a designer do this kind of work too?

You really made it well!

You learned it separately by going to the field, right?

Because I want to build my own house.

You mean, building the house yourself?

Laying bricks, making window frames, and even tiling.

Cheon Yeon Soo, there's a room for you too.

You asked me to make it.

My room?

Guest room.

Bring your wife and kids over to hang out or something.

We'll see,

if the kids and wife say they are going.

You've worked hard.

Do you want to eat? I don't want to be indebted.

What should I do?

I have a dinner appointment.

Ah, that's right. We also made plans with Han Woo, didn't we?

Ah, yes.

That's too bad.

What should I do?

I have a dinner appointment.

Esther has already arrived?

How did you know?

It seems you have something to say to her.

Have a good meeting.

Shall we go together?

I'll pass today. You two can meet.

Aren't you jealous, not a bit? I'm meeting another woman.

I'll be next time. I'm too tired today.

You promised. Be sure to be jealous next time.

Just like I did earlier.

Why did you say you want to build your own house?

He doesn't even remember.

Really…

Oh my, is it already finished?

I came in a hurry to help.

Kang Hee.

I thought it was the work of a professional.

- Oh, what is it? - Hey!

Stay away, it's dangerous, don't touch it.

It's a skin disease.

We can't let it spread to the cows, can we?

Ah, that's right.

Oh dear, but it's smaller than I thought.

The crossbreed is usually small, but this one is smaller, because it couldn't eat properly.

They said it was abandoned by the farm owner, right?

After it's fully treated, does it have a place to go?

Shh!

I heard

if we say we're sending away an abandoned one, it will get anxious, won't it?

Then, what's its name?

It doesn't have one yet.

Its name should be given by the owner later.

Hey, I'm hungry. Let's go eat.

I have no ideas.

Thank you.

Why is he like that again?

Kang Hee, let's go!

Cheon Yeon Soo, come out!

I know you didn't go.

You draw too.

Can I come in too?

Yes, come in.

I wish I had my own room.

Your house has many rooms.

Not that kind of room.

When I grow up, I'm going to live in a house like this.

With a room, a living room,

a kitchen, and even a yard.

I'll build it for you.

No, I'll build it.

You said you'll become a veterinarian.

When our cat gets sick, you'll have to treat it.

Then what about me?

Can I come over to your house?

I'll make a room for you too.

Thank you.

Fool, teddy bear.

There were times when I was happy because of a friend.

Back then, a friend was all I needed.

And it was nice not having to confess.

It's good because we won't have to part ways,

and because we can see each other for life.

That's… because it's unrequited love, right?

No.

It's good because we're friends.

Excuse me.

- It's your first time at a place like this, right? - Yeah.

Where shall we sit?

Do you come to places like this often?

Yes.

What's fresh today?

The sea squirts are fresh, and we've got spoon worms too.

Great! We'll take the sea squirts and spoon worms.

Do you have live octopus? And some octopus and tartare too.

And the drinks?

Later.

Is this it? The spoon worms?

Are we supposed to eat this?

- Do we eat this? - Huh?

Wow!

- You try it first. - What?

I eat it all the time, you have some more.

This one?

Spit it out.

It's so delicious!

You try it too.

No, you have more.

- Eat it, quick. - No, I'm fine.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

It's your turn now.

- What's wrong? - What do you mean?

How long have I known you? Can't I tell just by looking at you?

What?

Is Victor causing you trouble?

We

are negotiating with "Fire Ball". I didn't actually tell Victor, you know?

Is that why he's upset?

"Lyon" is transferring his shares.

Hey, not "Lyon". It means a hostile M&A.

Exactly.

If we combine our shares, we can defend it, it's okay.

Don't tell me you've transferred your shares too?

I'm going to sue.

They proceeded without asking my opinion or consent, so I can definitely reclaim it.

I felt I should tell you before you heard it from Lawyer Kim. That's all.

Esther,

this is nothing, you know that, right?

If needed, I can give you all my shares.

But let me ask you one thing.

Are you happy? With Victor?

I don't want you to suffer a loss because of me.

You didn't answer.

I'm asking if you're happy.

Who is this woman?

Does Kang Hee know? That you two are meeting?

Are you by any chance Cheon Yeon Soo?

Yes. Who are you?

I've heard a lot about you from Seok Kyeong.

No, why talk about me…

Ah, I don't do blind dates.

I don't do blind dates.

I don't do them either.

No, I can't.

I'm also married

and pregnant.

Really?

Is it true?

Yes.

What, you're not going to congratulate me?

Congratulations.

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Esther, are you really becoming a mother?

I wanted to tell my best friend first.

But you heard it too.

Congratulations to you.

So, you two…

We are friends.

We also work together.

Well…

I'm also really close with Kang Hee.

Here.

[Team Leader Park Esther]

"Park" of Golden Gilt Studio.

Park Esther.

"Hwang" is the boss, "Geum" is…

"Ji" is Kang Hee.

Hence, Golden Gilt. [*Pronounced Hwang-Geum-Park-Ji]

I'll go first.

It was nice to meet you. See you next time.

Let's go together.

Nonsense.

It's fine.

Call me when you arrive.

Please, go.

Since when have you two been friends?

If you're curious, let's have another drink together.

I haven't tried living in the countryside,

but it's fun.

Why?

Because of Kang Hee.

Everything is fun when done with Kang Hee.

It's all fun.

I suppose so.

What man in the world?

What man wouldn't like Kang Hee?

What?

That's different.

I will do everything Kang Hee asks me.

I'll do anything Kang Hee wants.

Oh. I…

Who can't be nice when they are by your side?

Even when not beside you,

always thinking of you and being nice, that's what truly being nice is.

Have you been to Jogye Temple in Seoul?

How about Bongeun Temple?

As for me,

when I go there, I'm the person who always lights a candle for Kang Hee's health.

Or maybe…

Myeongdong Cathedral! When I go to Myeongdong Cathedral,

I pray for Kang Hee's happiness too.

I'm the person who visits each church to make offerings, that's me.

No, why would Kang Hee's happiness

be outsourced to Buddha, Virgin Mary, or God?

I am

going to make her happy myself.

What do you know about Kang Hee to make her happy?

You shouldn't know about Kang Hee,

because Kang Hee dislikes men who know her past.

So, Cheon Yeon Soo

is out of the game.

I

have known Kang Hee since we were young, but

do you know how many years it's been since Kang Hee went to Seoul and I haven't seen her?

Even I don't know Kang Hee.

I don't know.

You think I know, but I don't.

So with that in mind, I say I win. Me!

Let's wait and see who wins.

Hey! Han Woo, why?

Who is it?

- My friend… - Hello?

- What are you doing? - Who's this?

I said, my friend, Han Woo.

Hey, I'm busy, talk later.

Isn't that a woman?

Seems like you're talking to another woman right now?

A man! Obviously a man!

It was clearly a woman just now!

I am speechless.

Good morning!

- Good morning. - Oh, uh?

What about Director Geum?

Hasn't he come yet?

No, he's not answering the phone.

I will try it.

- Ah, what? - What!

- What? - What is this?

What's this? What's this?

Why are you here, Mr. Cheon Yeon Soo?

Who should be asking that?

Yesterday, we definitely met by chance, greeted each other and parted.

It wasn't that. We had a drink together.

I must have made no mistake.

I know, I know.

And I haven't made any mistakes either.

That…

I can't remember what we did yesterday at all. Or what was said.

I completely blanked out too.

Why am I the only one undressed?

I will properly confess to Ms. Kang Hee.

That I can do anything with her.

So,

keep being Yeon Soo the friend,

and watch from the sidelines.

So, brother,

the conclusion is,

the person who will be with Kang Hee for life is me.

If you and her date and then break up,

you become strangers. The end, it's over.

So after all is said and done, money is the best…

Sworn friends are the best, okay?

I remember now.

You are Kang Hee's

sworn friend, right?

If you're Kang Hee's friend, you're my friend too.

Let's get along well.

Keep friends close…

Ah, my head hurts.

And enemies closer.

See you.

You're not leaving?

Let's go to the construction site together.

Because I have something to tell Kang Hee.

Is that so?

Let's go.

Haven't you seen the director?

Hasn't he come to work today?

I called, but

someone else answered.

Another person?

It was clearly the director's phone.

"This is Geum Seok Kyeong." That's what they say.

You two were together.

Ms. Kang Hee,

Yeon Soo has something to tell you.

Did you drink?

Both of you?

Kang Hee.

Kang Hee, we…

Let's be friends.

I saw him with someone named Esther yesterday.

It looked nice.

Ah, it looks so good.

Let's go through life together, as friends.

Okay?

Welcome.

Ms. Yoon Nan Woo?

Yes, it's me.

Goodbye.

[Ms. Yoon, thank you for being by my side. Cheon Yeon Soo]

The director?

I didn't know the director had this side.

Did Yeon Soo really give this to you?

You said you were coming for advice, but you came to show off?

It wasn't just a bouquet, there were also concert tickets.

It is a boast, indeed.

It's not going to be free.

Buy me a meal.

Do you know the title of the performance?

What is it?

[Will You Marry Me?]

Hey, isn't this a proposal?

Exactly.

Why are you reacting like this?

The director…

You know he had a crush on Kang Hee, right?

But he recently gave up on that.

Very recently.

Could it be the director…

In a fit of anger, "oh well, whatever", and bam!

I might cause a scene.

What if I am that "anyone"?

Nan Woo.

Yeon Soo is not like that.

After dating all this time, you don't know what kind of person Yeon Soo is?

Actually…

Did you hear anything from the director, by any chance?

Hey, with such a clear confession, what else do you need to confirm?

Is that so?

Don't worry.

Ugh, I can't listen to this out of jealousy.

I'm going out first. Take your time.

Hello!

- Yes, hello! - Hello!

Why did you bring so much?

Just a moment.

What's the occasion?

Field trip.

Why here?

This is the real world. This is the real deal.

Tastes… delicious.

Yeon Soo gave flowers to Nan Woo.

Yeon Soo too, and even Kang Hee.

I do get jealous that everyone is dating.

Ah, right. You have to work, don't you? I'm going now.

You should do it too.

You have a lot of blind dates.

Mom, why aren't you answering the phone?

Huh? Wait, the phone?

Did you really send it? A bouquet to Ms. Yoon?

Did she get it? Isn't it pretty?

I spent some money.

Why did you do that? I told you not to.

Oh, really.

At times like this, it makes me wonder if you're really my son.

How can you not understand the heart of a woman?

You two just need to score a goal in marriage now.

There's no goalkeeper. You just have to kick it and it's a goal.

Why don't you do it?

Just let Yeon Soo take care of it himself.

The kid just outright hates the idea.

No, they did the dating on their own. I have to help with the marriage.

No one has the experience I do when it comes to marriage.

There's a reason companies prefer experienced people.

You got the play tickets, right?

You can propose at the performance.

What?

Ah, don't be nervous.

After the play, when they call your names, just the two of you go out.

You just have to do as they say.

- No, Mom! - Yeon Soo.

I can't get married before you again, can I?

You have to do it quickly. So I can, too.

Again? Hey, you're doing it again?

I mean, there's someone I'm interested in.

If I like what you do,

I'll ask for a proposal like that too.

Hey! Then, you'd have to request the story.

I don't know.

Yeon Soo!

You're only a mother by name?

How do you just keep on getting married without a break?

There must be someone out there

who doesn't wander and only likes me.

Are you looking for something?

Ah, um… some flowers…

I'm thinking of buying…

Just give me the most expensive ones.

For your girlfriend?

No, it's not.

- I'll help you with the payment. - Yes.

[Sweet Little Library]

Unnie!

Is it your birthday?

No.

Isn't it heavy?

It's okay.

It's the first gift from the director. I want to take it home myself.

Cheon Yeon Soo?

The flowers?

Uh! Okay, then.

Carry it carefully.

[Motel California]

What are you doing?

For me?

Ah Reum.

Or just throw it away.

Is this your first time seeing a bouquet?

Who are you giving it to?

I received it, from a man.

Hey!

Cheon Yeon Soo,

you never bought me flowers even once.

You don't like flowers, do you?

That's not true. I really like flowers.

- Should I buy them? - No.

It's too late.

Just buy them.

I will report it to Yoon Nan Woo right away.

I can't even buy flowers for a friend?

Of course.

Before starting the exterior work, please reinforce the scaffolding first.

Safety comes first.

Oh, my! Rest assured.

Everything will be ready before the person in charge arrives.

Have a safe trip.

I will go to the headquarters for the meeting and come back tomorrow.

Okay. Understood.

You heard? Scaffolding reinforcement work.

- Yes. - Of course.

Alright, let's go then.

- The car keys. - Ah.

- Take care. - Ah, then work hard.

[Gangwol, Seoul]

[Aisle seat, Window seat]

What is this?

Let's just ride quietly.

- Hey! - It's not like I sat where I wanted, okay?

This was the only seat available.

Seatbelt.

Let's just talk to each other on the way.

What did you say?

I said let's just talk on the way.

Is it okay to talk among friends?

I'll allow it.

Why are you going to Seoul?

Just have some things to sort out, and you?

My home has always been in Seoul.

And my company is also in Seoul.

How's life in Seoul?

Right now, well… it's good.

Because of that guy?

Until I joined this company, it was really…

What, how was it?

It was like cursed hardtack.

Hardtack?

Yeah.

Do you remember the hardtack man?

Yes, I remember.

[The hardtack of those old days]

We used to worry about it all the time.

Worried the hardtack would get moist during the rainy season.

Worried it would collect dust during the sand storm season.

Worried it wouldn't sell in the midsummer.

And then worried in the dead of winter that the man's hands would be cold.

Life in Seoul is like that.

Like rainy season hardtack,

like summer hardtack, like winter hardtack.

What does it matter, among friends?

No, I didn't sleep.

You slept!

Thought you were headbanging.

Yeah, I slept.

I owe you one.

What? Should I compensate you?

Sure.

With what?

A tour of Seoul.

Please, do it for me.

Ma'am, please come down carefully.

- Over here! - Oh dear, thank you.

Not at all. Please go inside carefully.

Is there a place you want to visit?

Golden Gilt.

Our company?

Why there?

You said you have to go to the company anyway.

That's me, but you should go where you want to visit.

I'm curious about how my friend works.

Is that not possible?

Alright, let's go.

But,

can friends take the subway together?

Do what's comfortable. Shall we part here and meet again later?

It's fine.

The subway in Seoul is incredibly complicated.

Just follow me closely.

- Why aren't you coming? - It's convenient to transfer here.

On 5-2.

[Golden Gilt]

Did you wait long?

So this is where my friend works.

You should have waited in the coffee shop on the first floor.

It was fun watching people.

Ah, I'm hungry.

Shall we eat?

Is it okay to eat alone with a friend?

Then, should we eat separately?

Let's eat and then meet up again.

Hold this for me, please.

No, I can't.

What?

Don't you know the perilla leaf debate?

Han Woo has strictly defined friendships.

But both of you have the same opinion.

So, it's not possible.

Got a death wish?

You…

Are you more afraid of Han Woo? Or are you more afraid of me?

Hey, between friends, can you debone the fi…

It must be delicious.

I'm good at this because my knowledge of animals is extensive.

Fish are vertebrates.

This spine, that is where the backbone is located.

And also this fin…

Eat.

Let's eat.

It's delicious.

Want to come over and see my place?

- Your house? - Yes.

It's right over there.

Can't we have a housewarming among friends?

Cheon Yeon Soo,

come on up.

Okay.

Come in.

Here.

It's mine, right?

Yes.

How is it?

I don't know what others would think,

but I've been living in goshiwons and semi-basement apartments

for the past ten years,

to get here.

I've really lived diligently.

Really diligently.

That's why I really wanted to show this place to you.

Why?

What?

You've worked hard, Ji Kang Hee.

Overcoming summer's hardtack, monsoon's hardtack, and winter's hardtack.

You've made it here.

Wow, that's amazing!

My friend, Kang Hee.

Yeon Soo,

is it okay for friends to kiss?
