Forecasting Love and Weather (2022) s01e01 Episode Script
Signal
1
Signals are simple.
Sometimes they are sounds.
Sometimes they are colors…
HA-KYUNG
…and sometimes they are vibrations.
They keep signaling to me
that nothing is safe in this world.
EPISODE 1
SIGNAL
-He's not picking up?
-No.
Sorry. I'm not feeling well.
-I can't make it to the hanbok place.
-What's wrong?
Ki-jun isn't feeling well.
Maybe he's upset.
Upset?
Yesterday…
Did she drag him around?
She did more than that.
She hurt his pride all along.
If I were him, I'd call this wedding off.
I'd be grateful if he did that.
Mom.
It's hard to find
a man like him these days.
He gets his paycheck on time,
and his pension
and retirement are guaranteed.
He's solid.
That's why she's marrying him.
But he's not reliable.
He's not feeling well
because he escorted me yesterday?
I'm almost 70 and I'm not even tired.
You call that solid?
Consider them a match made in heaven.
Mom, they've been together for ten years,
and they never had a fight.
That's what concerns me the most.
She's my daughter,
but I still hate her cranky personality.
How is it possible
that he just bears with it?
It's possible because he likes her.
Fighting requires love.
This looks good.
-The color is very classy.
-It's pretty.
Excuse me.
-Yes, ma'am. This way, please.
-Okay.
As the temperature rises
by more than three degrees,
it will be clear and warm today.
There currently are
many clouds across the country.
But as the sky gradually clears up,
clear weather without a single cloud
will continue for a while.
The air is clean
and the spring sun is warm.
-The temperature in Seoul is 18°C.
-Are we almost there?
-Thanks to the spring breeze,
-What?
the afternoon will be pleasant.
-Turn left up there.
-It would be nice
to have weather like this every day.
As the sunny weather continues,
the air is getting drier.
The use of fire should…
You said we were here for tea.
We are.
-This isn't a teahouse.
-When you're chatting over a cup of tea,
you're at a teahouse.
What brings you here again today?
I'm sure you remember
that I mentioned her before.
-My daughter--
-She's a deaconess.
Deaconesses,
pastors, doctors, professors, mistresses…
Anyone worried and upset
ends up sitting there.
Here.
Both of them were born
in the Year of the Rabbit.
And she was born between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.
If you're too careful,
life gets difficult.
She was distrustful from a young age.
She always smells water
before she drinks it.
That's because I don't want
to die like Dad. Is that wrong?
Hey.
Mom brought you here for you.
Plus, marital compatibility
is really important.
Then why did you get a divorce?
-Hey.
-Ha-kyung. Don't.
Miss?
You're very cautious.
Yes, she's a little cautious.
Not just a little.
She's morbidly cautious.
But you can't avoid fated relationships
by being cautious.
What is it?
-Her fiance's fortune is…
-What about it?
It shows no "happily ever after"
with his wife.
And his fortune carries atrocity.
He might lose his wife.
-Bereavement?
-Divorce?
I told you
I had a bad feeling about him.
-I'm leaving.
-Ha-kyung.
-She isn't finished.
-Let go.
-Hey!
-I paid good money.
Take that umbrella with you.
Why?
It's going to rain.
Rain, my foot.
SI-WOO
Si as in time and Woo as in rain.
It means rain
that falls at the right time.
So that's why you use this character.
People don't usually use
the character for rain in names.
Oh, right.
My grandfather was a farmer all his life.
He said nothing is more pleasant than
the rain that falls at the right time.
By the way, what do you need a seal for?
For buying a car.
STAMP SEALS
Doors opening.
Doors closing.
PASSCODE ERROR
What brings you here at this hour?
You said you weren't well. Here.
A cold shower made me feel better.
Did it? Good.
Why did you change the passcode?
Well…
Did my mom come by unannounced again?
Sorry.
-Won't you come in?
-I have to go to work.
I'm running late.
Hold on.
I have to go. Eat the porridge.
Doors opening.
This is Jin Ha-kyung.
Doors closing.
We should report it to the Director.
We were done talking about this.
I said it'll hail today.
There's always damage when it hails.
Even if there's a one percent chance,
we have to analyze it.
So what's the current probability
that you analyzed?
-The probability?
-Yes.
It's almost five percent.
Can you be more exact?
HAIL RADAR
It's between 4.8 to 4.9 percent.
That means it isn't five percent yet.
Well, 4.9 is almost 5.
Call me when it goes over five.
Let's go by the book. I'm hanging up.
Does she think she's the director?
DIRECTOR CHOI JONG-SU
Are you going to work, Reporter Chae?
-Where did you get this car?
-I bought it.
-With what money?
-With a 36-month installment plan.
What are you doing? Get in.
I'm late.
I'm sure the morning forecast
has been released and it's lunchtime soon.
You have to eat, don't you?
Hop in.
Isn't this a new car?
It's slightly used.
Very slightly.
You said you wanted to come here
when we saw it on TV.
What do you think?
Don't I have a good memory?
Yes.
Hey, you're here again.
We'll have the Couple B Set.
Okay. Couple B Set.
-You've been here?
-With a friend.
What a shame.
I wanted to bring you here first.
I mentioned this place so long ago.
Do stuff with me now. I have a car.
What do you want to do?
Well, I don't know.
How about a trip?
It'll be summer soon.
Let's go before we get busier.
The day before yesterday,
I saw a faint sign of hail
on the adiabatic chart.
You know the signs, right?
Snow in mid-March?
So I knew it was going to hail today.
I've been stuck in the office
for three days to find the grounds to…
Right.
You like Gapyeong, right?
I hear there are cute cafés.
How about camping somewhere
with a nice view?
I know the geography
and weather there really well.
I don't like camping.
How about a cottage?
Well…
No way.
It's hail, right?
Yes.
It wasn't in the forecast, right?
They ignored me again.
PREVENT FOREST FIRES
Situation Room.
The airframe has been damaged due to hail.

TREAT THE SKIES AS A FRIEND
AND THE PEOPLE AS THE SKIES
Yes, sir. I understand.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I'll report it to you.
Goodness.
There was nothing unusual
in the report this morning.
Yes, sir.
We expected that
the atmosphere would be stable
and that the vertical temperature change
would not be severe.
But it became unstable
as the surface temperature rose.
Did you analyze the LWS
and the vertical wind shear data?
-The data did not signal hail.
-Don't you feel guilty?
Not the current data.
Give me the data
from at least 3 to 12 hours ago.
Hey. Isn't it your day off?
You owe me 50,000 won.
I'm in a meeting.
I told you it was going to hail.
If the hail was going to be of that size,
there must have been signals.
How frustrating.
Show me the adiabatic chart for that area.
From six hours ago.
Okay.
Twelve hours ago.
COMPREHENSIVE CONTROL SYSTEM
Go back to three hours ago.
Suwon.
No. Incheon.
Icheon.
Wait. Right there.
On the bottom. Zoom in.
Isn't that it?
It is. That's a signal.
Right?
He's right.
Right.
"Right"?
When I told you, you said it was nonsense.
Now you see it?
Okay. I'll buy you coffee.
What? Just coffee?
Do you know how much
my monthly allowance is?
-Fine. Here.
-All right.
Just buy me coffee.
-Okay. Thanks.
-Sure.
-Leave if you're done.
-Okay.
-Go.
-Well…
Director Choi, did you see this or not?
I did.
But I saw it as a passing phenomenon.
Yes, that's fine.
But you should have at least
mentioned it here somewhere.
-The figures were too--
-I'm sorry, sir.
It was my mistake. I'll write a report.
Tell the Aviation Meteorological Office
it was our mistake
and ask the Expressway Corporation
and Rural Development Administration
if there was any damage to crops.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
A passing phenomenon?
You're missing the signals because you
keep saying meaningless things like that.
Don't just broadcast the weather.
Try to forecast it, okay?
So frustrating.
The reporters are here, sir.
Goodness.
The reporters are here.
Take care of them, Director Choi.
I have to see the Administrator.
My goodness.
In any case,
I clearly told you about the hail.
Please report it to Headquarters later.
What for?
You said the best of the best are there.
I'm one of them.
The best of the best?
Not anymore.
Why is that?
Now, it's more like
a place you go to if you want to suffer.
Yes.
The Director General said
you'd need these for the hail analysis.
These are all similar cases
since the 1990s.
You know that my team
stayed up all night for a week.
Surely the Policy Office can cover for us.
We'd love to,
but the Director General wants
Chief Team Two to report it to him.
We can't analyze this and write a report
while monitoring situations.
-It's…
-When do you need it by?
By this weekend.
Then, good luck.
Hey, Assistant Director Park.
Where's the numerical model I requested?
-It's on the way.
-Quickly, please.
You should do the briefing, Ms. Jin.
If you're sorry.
I don't want to overstep
the Director's authority.
Our administration is
always under fire anyway.
-Director Choi!
-Director Choi!
Oh, no!
-Director Choi!
-Director Choi!
Wake up, Director Choi!
Somebody call an ambulance!
Director Choi!
Is he going to be all right?
-Of course.
-Hold on.
The Office of Spokesperson
is demanding someone to come.
Don't they know Director Choi
was taken away in an ambulance?
-How many is that this year?
-What should we do?
Someone has to attend the briefing.
I'll go.
How is Director Choi?
He was taken away in an ambulance.
We'll see.
Who was that?
A reporter.
She asked me to rearrange
the questions, and I said no.
What do I have to do?
The basic briefing
on the afternoon hail is over,
so just explain the details.
Let's go.
We'll take questions.
RESTRICTED AREA
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
I'm at the hospital. Yes.
I think he's okay.
Hold on.
-Director Choi.
-We'll move him to his room.
-To his room?
-Yes.
Mrs. Choi. You must be in shock.
You didn't have to come.
Of course I had to come.
-I'm glad it wasn't any worse.
-Glad?
Well…
My husband has been requesting
a position in a regional office for years.
Yes.
The doctor kept telling him to be careful
because of his high blood pressure.
But you kept asking him
to stay for another year
and then another year.
How can you corner him
for missing one occurrence of hail?
It wasn't only because of--
You always get the weather wrong.
Making that one slip is not a big deal.
Do you know what they call you?
-Pardon?
-A human juicer.
Because you extract every ounce
of energy from people.
You know, I'm sick of all this.
Mrs. Choi, I'm really sorry.
Yes. You should go.
-Okay. He'll be fine. I'm sorry.
-Thank you.
You're back.
Director Choi had a heart attack.
That's why he said his chest felt tight.
Did he?
Why didn't I know that?
He's okay now, right?
He'll have a thorough examination.
We'll see. He'll be okay.
Don't stress him out
by visiting him in the hospital, okay?
As for Chief Team Two…
Ms. Jin will be in charge.
I'm getting married next month, sir.
So be in charge
until Director Choi returns.
It'll be two weeks max.
You can cover for him, right?
The position of acting director
might be too much for her.
What? Speak up.
What is it? Do you have a better idea?
-No, sir.
-Okay.
It's decided then.
Why aren't you coming?
I can't go to your alumni dinner tonight.
I have to go alone again?
You know Director Choi is in the hospital.
Okay.
Don't worry about it. Get back to work.
It's only for two weeks.
I'm sorry about this.
Okay.

Look at that view.
I need to share this view.
GLOBAL WARMING AND
THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
So it means that
this summer will be hot as usual.
Then it's easy.
"The worst summer ever."
"Record-breaking heatwaves."
"Sauna-like heat."
That's less than five words.
Why make such a long title?
I'm not saying
it's especially hot this summer.
The average temperature will rise
by one to two degrees
due to global warming.
Do you think people
are interested in global warming?
It can be provocative.
So write something
that makes people want to read.
-Hey.
-How many times do I have to say this?
That's how you sell air conditioners.
Don't you know who our biggest sponsor is?
This isn't an ad agency.
Why are we advertising air conditioners?
Because it's good for you, for me,
and for everyone else here.
So please do as you're told.
Let's take home some bonuses.
Please?
You can do it.
Make it provocative.
LEE SI-WOO
-What is this?
-Isn't it awesome?
I'M MAKING A SEAL TODAY
WHY?
LOOK AT THESE VIEWS
THEY'RE NICE
ISN'T IT AWESOME?
Unbelievable! I hit the jackpot today!
I found fairy clouds.
These are hard to find. I'm so lucky.
Is she busy?
Sir!
He's here again.
I give up.
I give up.
See? There's nothing wrong
with the radar antenna.
Why did you come all the way here?
Because I don't trust machines.
Also, I get to see you once in a while.
Are you sure
there's nothing wrong with it?
Yes.
If you're done, you should go. We're busy.
It's only March,
but the temperature here
is abnormally high compared to the inland.
Why don't you talk to the Gangwon Office?
I see.
GANGWON REGIONAL OFFICE
OF METEOROLOGY
Yes, this is Gangneung.
Hello. The ground temperature
in Gangwon is too high.
Please check.
Is that so?
Could you also check
Pyeongchang, Chuncheon,
Hongcheon, Hoengseong, Wonju,
and the whole area please?
Hold on. Pyeongchang.
Chuncheon.
Hongcheon.
And?
Hoengseong and Wonju.
I see. Hoengseong and Wonju. Hold on.
I'm sorry, but could you hurry?
Wonju. Oh, no.
This is Um Dong-han of Gangneung.
What is this about?
Please check the ground temperatures
for Pyeongchang, Chuncheon,
Hongcheon, Hoengseong, and Wonju.
GANGWON PROVINCE
I see. It's a temporary phenomenon
caused by solar radiation
when the east wind blows.
It happens sometimes.
It'll stop.
I don't think it will.
Pardon?
Okay, I understand.
Understand what? Hello?
Who is this jerk?
I didn't ask.
Why didn't you?
That's why we get these rude calls.
I'm sorry, sir.
Darn it.
-Sir.
-Yes?
Did you hear the rumor?
What rumor?
I heard the position
of director of Chief Team Two
at Headquarters is vacant.
So what?
You should go back to Headquarters.
No, thanks.
That place gives me headaches.
-I wouldn't go even if they begged me.
-What?
If you're away for too long,
even your family will forget about you.
That's a scary thought.
BO-MI'S DAD
-Hello?
-Hey.
What took you so long to pick up?
Do you ever pick up my calls?
Well…
Is everything okay?
If it isn't, can you come home?
Hey, come on.
You're talking to your husband.
Why can't you--
Get to the point.
Where's Bo-mi?
Bo-mi, it's Dad.
No.
-She doesn't want to talk.
-Okay.
Bye.
-Sir!
-Yes.
You have to come back to the office.
NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL CENTER
COMPREHENSIVE CONTROL SYSTEM
-I'm busy.
-Wait.
Didn't you book Lian Wedding Hall?
-Yes, we did. What is it?
-Oh, the thing is,
I called them to check something for Mom,
and they said
you haven't paid the deposit.
What?
I can't get a hold of Ki-jun.
Is everything all right?
He would never miss that.
There must have been a mistake.
-It's time.
-I'll check. Bye.
All right. Wait. What is that?
What's that spot?
Convective clouds have formed
due to an unstable atmosphere.
What's the humidity there?
Currently, it's about 82 percent.
Will they condense and fall?
The chance of evaporation
is more than 70 percent.
The figures are too indefinite
to make a severe weather alert.
Let's have a meeting first.
Okay.
We'll start the March 14
forecast discussion.
Satellite center?
This is the satellite center.
The cloud monitor shows
a cloud band currently
developing in the northeast.
Please give your opinion on that,
Gangwon Office.
Given the characteristics of this region,
it won't lead to precipitation.
It's going to rain.
It will rain for sure!
Why is he getting worked up again?
Hey, can't you see the sky is clear?
I sent you the data.
This is a bomb.
-It's going to pour.
-Yes. I saw it
and we're having a meeting because of it.
Sit here and wait.
We don't have time.
A heavy rain advisory
should be issued right now.
Wait.
Look at the spike
in the ground temperature here.
Gangwon Office said it was temporary,
but it's very unstable,
so it can develop into a rain cloud.
Well…
Here.
But this is…
Metropolitan Office, what is it?
SEOUL METROPOLITAN OFFICE
OF METEOROLOGY
The clouds currently forming
in Gangwon Province
look unusual.
Are you saying
they'll turn into rain clouds?
-Yes, within an hour.
-On what grounds?
Excuse me.
An hour ago, they were low-level clouds.
Now they're passing through Chuncheon
and developing rapidly.
I'll upload the data and explain.
There he goes again.
He's the one who predicted the hail.
-So?
-I thought you should know.
Don't you know
how dry the atmosphere is now?
Even if the rain clouds are large enough
to be caught as an echo,
they'll evaporate
before reaching the metropolitan area.
What if they continue
to absorb water while moving north?
They're being supplied with water vapor
as the lower layer temperature
of the region rises.
Just an hour ago, the clouds
were only two kilometers thick.
Currently, they're 5 to 6km thick.
Moreover, the surface temperature
in the east metropolitan area is high.
Due to the unstable atmosphere,
clouds are more likely to develop
and enter the region
rather than evaporate.
If my prediction is correct,
in two to three hours,
there will be heavy rain
in the metropolitan area.
Just tell me
the probability of precipitation.
Yes, it's…
It's about 18.7 to 18.8 percent.
-That's correct.
-So…
the probability of evaporation
is more than 80 percent.
Why are you making it sound difficult
by using decimal points?
Acting Director Jin.
What do you think?
I checked again and they said
the wedding hall deposit wasn't paid.
They told Ki-jun that
the reservation will be canceled
if he doesn't pay by today.
It's not even midsummer.
It's mid-March.
A heavy rain advisory
with less than a 20 percent chance?
I don't think we need to worry
with these numbers.
Isn't the default setting wrong
because you're stuck
with the seasonal formula?
Forecasting is about probabilities.
-That's why you're always wrong.
-What?
The 17th summer typhoon last year,
the winter fog this year,
and the hail too.
You relied on probability,
and see what happened.
Why have forecasters at all
when we can have
supercomputers calculate the weather?
POWER OFF
Weather is about a flow.
You can't change the flow
with a few numbers.
The basics of weather is variability.
Even a small phenomenon
can greatly affect it.
Are you trying to lecture me?
No.
I'm just saying that
the important points are different.
Enough. Move aside.
All right.
Acting Director Jin.
You need to make a decision.
Why don't we do this?
The hypothesis suggested by
the Metropolitan Office is reasonable,
but the probability is too low.
The evidence is weak,
and no cases were provided.
-I collected all the data and…
-Calm down.
We'll decide whether to issue
a heavy rain advisory after an hour.
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Office
should provide additional data.
Let's move on to the weekend weather.
Hey!
He won't just let it go.
-Do you know him?
-He's Lee Si-woo.
I've worked with him
on Baengnyeong Island.
I see.
He's usually quite gentle.
But when it comes to weather,
he's very tenacious.
It's a little unsettling
because there's always something
when he's persistent.
Hi. It's me.
Yes. What is it?
You can issue a special alert, right?
Yes, so what?
I have a feeling.
Hey.
No.
I can't do it.
You missed the hail.
Will you miss the rain too?
Hey.
You're nuts.
Anything else from other offices?
-No.
-No.
That's it for the meeting.
-Good work.
-Good work.
Good work.
Are you insane? What are you doing?
What's going on?
The Metropolitan Office issued
a heavy rain advisory just now.
What?
Did you do this?
Why did you do this
without reporting it to the director?
Because she wouldn't listen.
She also ignored the hail signals
because the probability was low.
What is he saying?
The Metropolitan Office
had reported hail signals.
The forecaster you just saw
detected them first.
It was less than five percent.
It was close to five percent.
So, that's why you declared severe weather
without your superior's permission?
Is it?
If you'll do whatever you want,
why do you need superiors and a system?
Why don't you set up
a forecasting company then?
I'm sorry.
A severe weather alert has been issued.
So keep your posts.
I need to talk to you.
Okay.
This is insane.
Why didn't you report it to Director Choi?
Because the probability was low.
So…
why did you skip the director
and make that decision?
Why?
Okay.
File a report.
Shut up.
If it doesn't rain in an hour, we're dead.
Don't worry. It'll rain.
Hey.
You're the one who declared severe weather
without permission from Headquarters?
Yes. So?
Do you know how much it costs
when a severe weather alert is issued?
Will you take responsibility
if this forecast is wrong?
Did you take responsibility
for being wrong about the hail forecast?
What?
No, you weren't wrong.
You didn't report it at all.
I heard about your situation.
But even if you're busy
getting ready for your wedding,
you shouldn't miss any weather reports.
Forecasters shouldn't neglect
the safety and convenience
of the people for personal reasons.
-Hey.
-My name is Lee Si-woo.
Lee Si-woo.
Will I take responsibility
for this forecast?
Let me tell you about my responsibilities.
I use the data I've obtained
to predict the weather and make forecasts.
I'm confident in my forecast.
That confidence comes
only when I do my best.
The same goes with the hail forecast.
Are you telling me
that I didn't do my best?
You have a wedding coming up,
-so I understand.
-Hey, you!
I'm Lee Si-woo of the Metropolitan Office.
Hey, Lee Si-woo.
Wait right there.
Why? Are you coming?
I said wait.

Coast guards on dispatch,
please notify nearby ships
of safety guidelines.
-Roger that.
-Copy.
-Please check.
-Okay.
There's nothing to check. They'll be fine.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN OFFICE
OF METEOROLOGY
What are you doing?
The woman from Headquarters
won't actually come, right?
Of course not.
Jeez.
She probably got mad
because you were being rude and…
Goodness. She's here.
Well, I'm done here.
I think she's here to see you.
Mr. Lee Si-woo?
-You really came.
-Do you know me?
No.
Then how dare you talk about me like that?
That's because you kept ignoring my--
Didn't you think
that maybe I was being careful?
In any case, you didn't report it,
so a lot of people suffered--
Do you know how much
public manpower is used
every time a special advisory is issued?
Billions could have been wasted
because of an under five percent chance.
I had no choice but to consider that.
Still, you can't ignore the signals.
If it rains an hour later
than our forecast,
people mock us for making an error.
What if the heavy rain advisory is wrong?
So you chose to make a safe bet.
What?
"Since we'll get criticized either way,
let's choose not to waste money."
"Let's try to avoid
one of the two arrows."
Is that what you were thinking?
If so, don't worry.
It will rain. I'm certain of it.
Who do you think you are?
Si as in time and Woo as in rain.
Rain that falls at the right time.
I'm Lee Si-woo.
It's going to rain.

MESSAGES
I emailed Mr. Han to confirm the
final draft of your wedding invitation,
but he didn't reply.
Please confirm.
-Your honeymoon reservation
-The wedding return gifts
-has been canceled due to late payment.
-you ordered
-has been canceled.
-Your wedding dress is ready.
-But I got a cancellation message.
-Please call us.
It's been canceled.
-Please confirm.
-Please call us.
KI-JUN
The number you are calling
is currently switched off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What did she say?
Ha-kyung isn't picking up either.
I think we'll lose
the wedding hall reservation.
Doors opening.
Doors closing.
The signals were simple.
Sometimes they were sounds.
Sometimes they were colors…
and sometimes they were vibrations.
They kept signaling to me…
that nothing was safe in this world.
Just in case.
You're home.
What's all this?
It's food for our trip.
It'll stop raining tomorrow morning.
So there's no problem.
This?
It's for an emergency.
We aren't going camping.
I booked a cottage.
Let's break up.
What?
I want to break up.
Why all of a sudden?
It isn't all of a sudden.
I've been wanting to break up
with you for a long time.
2 MONTHS LATER
That star is so bright.
The sky cleared up nicely.
That's a satellite, Director Choi.
Hey.
Why are you always so rigid?
I know it's a satellite.
All right.
That's why I always trusted what you said
even when I don't trust my wife.
I should've been rigid then too.
When?
The day it hailed?
Sir, I think you should check this.
What? Gosh…
What is it?
Never mind.
We were on alert all week
because of the fog.
I know you didn't report it because
you were afraid I'd be overwhelmed.
I was presumptuous.
Would it have been different
if you had reported it?
No.
I would have ignored it too.
The fog was extremely thick
in the west coast area that day.
Thanks to you,
we prevented a major collision
like the Yeongjong Bridge collision.
Nobody knows that though.
So what if no one knows?
It's great that nobody was hurt.
I hope you return soon.
Didn't you know? I resigned.
Sir.
I'm going to do everything
I wasn't able to do.
Why did you--
My wife is really happy.
Thanks.
If it wasn't for you,
I wouldn't have retired this early.
I'm relieved that you're taking my place.
My life is about to be flooded
because I missed the signals.
What you see now isn't everything.
Both weather and people need time
for you to get to know them better.
The weather isn't always bad.
There are sunny days
as well as windy and rainy days.
There's always a reason for everything.
PERSONNEL CHANGES
JIN HA-KYUNG: DIRECTOR
Will she be okay?
Well, she's smart.
Supercomputers are smart too,
but they make mistakes.
Experience is the most
important quality for directors.
She'll always play by the book
and be picky.
Then what's going to happen?
What do you mean?
Deputy Director Han will be back
from his honeymoon soon.
Will they be okay working together?
They have no choice.
They can't just quit their jobs.
People around them
are going to be stressed out.
It'll be like walking on egg--
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
SAFE COUNTRY, PEACEFUL PEOPLE
Did you see it?
The personnel changes?
Yes, I saw it.
Well…
about Deputy Director Han.
I guess you didn't see it.
The transfer was canceled.
He's good at responding to the press.
So the Administrator
wants to keep him around
because he thinks highly of that.
I see.
Will you be okay?
I'd be happy if you stayed
with Chief Team Two.
But you'll have to keep working with him.
Is that all right?
Why don't you follow
in the footsteps of your colleagues
and aim for higher-ranking positions?
You have enough field experience.
Are you telling me
to leave the Forecast Bureau?
There's an opportunity for you
to go to the WMO for dispatch training.
You have more than enough experience.
I'll write a reference letter.
What do you say?
-It's in Geneva, Switzerland, right?
-Yes.
It's for one year and it can be extended.
There was more than just a breakup
at the end of an office romance.
Tae-kyung, did you take my TV?
It's not there?
Mom, did you move Ha-kyung's TV?
Why would I?
I know how angry she gets
when I move her stuff.
Why? Is her TV missing?
No. Never mind. I'm hanging up.
OFFICE OF SPOKESPERSON
HAN KI-JUN
No.
OFFICE OF SPOKESPERSON
HAN KI-JUN
Hello? What's up?
What?
Oh, I guess my finger slipped.
I'm doing well, as always.
Well…
did you perhaps take the TV?
Yes, I took it.
-The induction stove too?
-Yes.
The toothbrush sanitizer too?
You told me to pack up and leave.
I thought you meant
I could take what I needed.
No?
How could you interpret it that way?
I said take your stuff and leave.
Hey.
Technically, half of the stuff is mine
because we paid for it together.
I left the fridge behind,
so I think we're even.
What about the apartment registration?
Listen, Ha-kyung.
I've been thinking about it,
so how about we do this?
I'll give you your money back,
and take it off your hand.
Take what off?
The apartment is under both our names.
Rather than selling it to someone else,
it'll be better this way.
You said it was alimony
when you called the wedding off.
I did. I said that but…
But?
I checked the price and it went up a lot.
So?
Let's split it. Half and half.
As expected,
a breakup wasn't enough
to end things with this bastard.
Like the wind,
an affair is invisible
but it always leaves a trace.
You can go about your day and leave.
I'm the new Severe Weather Forecaster
of Chief Team Two.
I was appointed here.
I think Director Jin will
get replaced soon.
Han Ki-jun!
-I have no choice.
-So what? Do you want to fight?
Director Jin.
I was curious about how you were doing.
Cheers!
I'm never going to date
a colleague ever again.
Come on. You never know.

EPISODE 1
SIGNAL
-He's not picking up?
-No.
Sorry. I'm not feeling well.
-I can't make it to the hanbok place.
-What's wrong?
Ki-jun isn't feeling well.
Maybe he's upset.
Upset?
Yesterday…
Did she drag him around?
She did more than that.
She hurt his pride all along.
If I were him, I'd call this wedding off.
I'd be grateful if he did that.
Mom.
It's hard to find
a man like him these days.
He gets his paycheck on time,
and his pension
and retirement are guaranteed.
He's solid.
That's why she's marrying him.
But he's not reliable.
He's not feeling well
because he escorted me yesterday?
I'm almost 70 and I'm not even tired.
You call that solid?
Consider them a match made in heaven.
Mom, they've been together for ten years,
and they never had a fight.
That's what concerns me the most.
She's my daughter,
but I still hate her cranky personality.
How is it possible
that he just bears with it?
It's possible because he likes her.
Fighting requires love.
This looks good.
-The color is very classy.
-It's pretty.
Excuse me.
-Yes, ma'am. This way, please.
-Okay.
As the temperature rises
by more than three degrees,
it will be clear and warm today.
There currently are
many clouds across the country.
But as the sky gradually clears up,
clear weather without a single cloud
will continue for a while.
The air is clean
and the spring sun is warm.
-The temperature in Seoul is 18°C.
-Are we almost there?
-Thanks to the spring breeze,
-What?
the afternoon will be pleasant.
-Turn left up there.
-It would be nice
to have weather like this every day.
As the sunny weather continues,
the air is getting drier.
The use of fire should…
You said we were here for tea.
We are.
-This isn't a teahouse.
-When you're chatting over a cup of tea,
you're at a teahouse.
What brings you here again today?
I'm sure you remember
that I mentioned her before.
-My daughter--
-She's a deaconess.
Deaconesses,
pastors, doctors, professors, mistresses…
Anyone worried and upset
ends up sitting there.
Here.
Both of them were born
in the Year of the Rabbit.
And she was born between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.
If you're too careful,
life gets difficult.
She was distrustful from a young age.
She always smells water
before she drinks it.
That's because I don't want
to die like Dad. Is that wrong?
Hey.
Mom brought you here for you.
Plus, marital compatibility
is really important.
Then why did you get a divorce?
-Hey.
-Ha-kyung. Don't.
Miss?
You're very cautious.
Yes, she's a little cautious.
Not just a little.
She's morbidly cautious.
But you can't avoid fated relationships
by being cautious.
What is it?
-Her fiance's fortune is…
-What about it?
It shows no "happily ever after"
with his wife.
And his fortune carries atrocity.
He might lose his wife.
-Bereavement?
-Divorce?
I told you
I had a bad feeling about him.
-I'm leaving.
-Ha-kyung.
-She isn't finished.
-Let go.
-Hey!
-I paid good money.
Take that umbrella with you.
Why?
It's going to rain.
Rain, my foot.
SI-WOO
Si as in time and Woo as in rain.
It means rain
that falls at the right time.
So that's why you use this character.
People don't usually use
the character for rain in names.
Oh, right.
My grandfather was a farmer all his life.
He said nothing is more pleasant than
the rain that falls at the right time.
By the way, what do you need a seal for?
For buying a car.

PASSCODE ERROR
What brings you here at this hour?
You said you weren't well. Here.
A cold shower made me feel better.
Did it? Good.
Why did you change the passcode?
Well…
Did my mom come by unannounced again?
Sorry.
-Won't you come in?
-I have to go to work.
I'm running late.
Hold on.
I have to go. Eat the porridge.
Doors opening.
This is Jin Ha-kyung.
Doors closing.
We should report it to the Director.
We were done talking about this.
I said it'll hail today.
There's always damage when it hails.
Even if there's a one percent chance,
we have to analyze it.
So what's the current probability
that you analyzed?
-The probability?
-Yes.
It's almost five percent.
Can you be more exact?
HAIL RADAR
It's between 4.8 to 4.9 percent.
That means it isn't five percent yet.
Well, 4.9 is almost 5.
Call me when it goes over five.
Let's go by the book. I'm hanging up.
Does she think she's the director?
DIRECTOR CHOI JONG-SU
Are you going to work, Reporter Chae?
-Where did you get this car?
-I bought it.
-With what money?
-With a 36-month installment plan.
What are you doing? Get in.
I'm late.
I'm sure the morning forecast
has been released and it's lunchtime soon.
You have to eat, don't you?
Hop in.
Isn't this a new car?
It's slightly used.
Very slightly.
You said you wanted to come here
when we saw it on TV.
What do you think?
Don't I have a good memory?
Yes.
Hey, you're here again.
We'll have the Couple B Set.
Okay. Couple B Set.
-You've been here?
-With a friend.
What a shame.
I wanted to bring you here first.
I mentioned this place so long ago.
Do stuff with me now. I have a car.
What do you want to do?
Well, I don't know.
How about a trip?
It'll be summer soon.
Let's go before we get busier.
The day before yesterday,
I saw a faint sign of hail
on the adiabatic chart.
You know the signs, right?
Snow in mid-March?
So I knew it was going to hail today.
I've been stuck in the office
for three days to find the grounds to…
Right.
You like Gapyeong, right?
I hear there are cute cafés.
How about camping somewhere
with a nice view?
I know the geography
and weather there really well.
I don't like camping.
How about a cottage?
Well…
No way.
It's hail, right?
Yes.
It wasn't in the forecast, right?
They ignored me again.

TREAT THE SKIES AS A FRIEND
AND THE PEOPLE AS THE SKIES
Yes, sir. I understand.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I'll report it to you.
Goodness.
There was nothing unusual
in the report this morning.
Yes, sir.
We expected that
the atmosphere would be stable
and that the vertical temperature change
would not be severe.
But it became unstable
as the surface temperature rose.
Did you analyze the LWS
and the vertical wind shear data?
-The data did not signal hail.
-Don't you feel guilty?
Not the current data.
Give me the data
from at least 3 to 12 hours ago.
Hey. Isn't it your day off?
You owe me 50,000 won.
I'm in a meeting.
I told you it was going to hail.
If the hail was going to be of that size,
there must have been signals.
How frustrating.
Show me the adiabatic chart for that area.
From six hours ago.
Okay.
Twelve hours ago.
COMPREHENSIVE CONTROL SYSTEM
Go back to three hours ago.
Suwon.
No. Incheon.

Wait. Right there.
On the bottom. Zoom in.
Isn't that it?
It is. That's a signal.
Right?
He's right.
Right.
"Right"?
When I told you, you said it was nonsense.
Now you see it?
Okay. I'll buy you coffee.
What? Just coffee?
Do you know how much
my monthly allowance is?
-Fine. Here.
-All right.
Just buy me coffee.
-Okay. Thanks.
-Sure.
-Leave if you're done.
-Okay.
-Go.
-Well…
Director Choi, did you see this or not?
I did.
But I saw it as a passing phenomenon.
Yes, that's fine.
But you should have at least
mentioned it here somewhere.
-The figures were too--
-I'm sorry, sir.
It was my mistake. I'll write a report.
Tell the Aviation Meteorological Office
it was our mistake
and ask the Expressway Corporation
and Rural Development Administration
if there was any damage to crops.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
A passing phenomenon?
You're missing the signals because you
keep saying meaningless things like that.
Don't just broadcast the weather.
Try to forecast it, okay?
So frustrating.
The reporters are here, sir.
Goodness.
The reporters are here.
Take care of them, Director Choi.
I have to see the Administrator.
My goodness.
In any case,
I clearly told you about the hail.
Please report it to Headquarters later.
What for?
You said the best of the best are there.
I'm one of them.
The best of the best?
Not anymore.
Why is that?
Now, it's more like
a place you go to if you want to suffer.
Yes.
The Director General said
you'd need these for the hail analysis.
These are all similar cases
since the 1990s.
You know that my team
stayed up all night for a week.
Surely the Policy Office can cover for us.
We'd love to,
but the Director General wants
Chief Team Two to report it to him.
We can't analyze this and write a report
while monitoring situations.
-It's…
-When do you need it by?
By this weekend.
Then, good luck.
Hey, Assistant Director Park.
Where's the numerical model I requested?
-It's on the way.
-Quickly, please.
You should do the briefing, Ms. Jin.
If you're sorry.
I don't want to overstep
the Director's authority.
Our administration is
always under fire anyway.
-Director Choi!
-Director Choi!
Oh, no!
-Director Choi!
-Director Choi!
Wake up, Director Choi!
Somebody call an ambulance!
Director Choi!
Is he going to be all right?
-Of course.
-Hold on.
The Office of Spokesperson
is demanding someone to come.
Don't they know Director Choi
was taken away in an ambulance?
-How many is that this year?
-What should we do?
Someone has to attend the briefing.
I'll go.
How is Director Choi?
He was taken away in an ambulance.
We'll see.
Who was that?
A reporter.
She asked me to rearrange
the questions, and I said no.
What do I have to do?
The basic briefing
on the afternoon hail is over,
so just explain the details.
Let's go.
We'll take questions.
RESTRICTED AREA
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
I'm at the hospital. Yes.
I think he's okay.
Hold on.
-Director Choi.
-We'll move him to his room.
-To his room?
-Yes.
Mrs. Choi. You must be in shock.
You didn't have to come.
Of course I had to come.
-I'm glad it wasn't any worse.
-Glad?
Well…
My husband has been requesting
a position in a regional office for years.
Yes.
The doctor kept telling him to be careful
because of his high blood pressure.
But you kept asking him
to stay for another year
and then another year.
How can you corner him
for missing one occurrence of hail?
It wasn't only because of--
You always get the weather wrong.
Making that one slip is not a big deal.
Do you know what they call you?
-Pardon?
-A human juicer.
Because you extract every ounce
of energy from people.
You know, I'm sick of all this.
Mrs. Choi, I'm really sorry.
Yes. You should go.
-Okay. He'll be fine. I'm sorry.
-Thank you.
You're back.
Director Choi had a heart attack.
That's why he said his chest felt tight.
Did he?
Why didn't I know that?
He's okay now, right?
He'll have a thorough examination.
We'll see. He'll be okay.
Don't stress him out
by visiting him in the hospital, okay?
As for Chief Team Two…
Ms. Jin will be in charge.
I'm getting married next month, sir.
So be in charge
until Director Choi returns.
It'll be two weeks max.
You can cover for him, right?
The position of acting director
might be too much for her.
What? Speak up.
What is it? Do you have a better idea?
-No, sir.
-Okay.
It's decided then.
Why aren't you coming?
I can't go to your alumni dinner tonight.
I have to go alone again?
You know Director Choi is in the hospital.
Okay.
Don't worry about it. Get back to work.
It's only for two weeks.
I'm sorry about this.
Okay.

GLOBAL WARMING AND

So it means that
this summer will be hot as usual.
Then it's easy.
"The worst summer ever."
"Record-breaking heatwaves."
"Sauna-like heat."
That's less than five words.
Why make such a long title?
I'm not saying
it's especially hot this summer.
The average temperature will rise
by one to two degrees
due to global warming.
Do you think people
are interested in global warming?
It can be provocative.
So write something
that makes people want to read.
-Hey.
-How many times do I have to say this?
That's how you sell air conditioners.
Don't you know who our biggest sponsor is?
This isn't an ad agency.
Why are we advertising air conditioners?
Because it's good for you, for me,
and for everyone else here.
So please do as you're told.

These are hard to find. I'm so lucky.
Is she busy?
Sir!
He's here again.
I give up.
I give up.
See? There's nothing wrong
with the radar antenna.
Why did you come all the way here?
Because I don't trust machines.
Also, I get to see you once in a while.
Are you sure
there's nothing wrong with it?
Yes.
If you're done, you should go. We're busy.
It's only March,
but the temperature here
is abnormally high compared to the inland.
Why don't you talk to the Gangwon Office?
I see.
GANGWON REGIONAL OFFICE

Yes, this is Gangneung.
Hello. The ground temperature
in Gangwon is too high.
Please check.
Is that so?
Could you also check
Pyeongchang, Chuncheon,
Hongcheon, Hoengseong, Wonju,
and the whole area please?
Hold on. Pyeongchang.
Chuncheon.
Hongcheon.
And?
Hoengseong and Wonju.
I see. Hoengseong and Wonju. Hold on.
I'm sorry, but could you hurry?
Wonju. Oh, no.
This is Um Dong-han of Gangneung.
What is this about?
Please check the ground temperatures
for Pyeongchang, Chuncheon,
Hongcheon, Hoengseong, and Wonju.
GANGWON PROVINCE
I see. It's a temporary phenomenon
caused by solar radiation
when the east wind blows.
It happens sometimes.
It'll stop.
I don't think it will.
Pardon?
Okay, I understand.
Understand what? Hello?
Who is this jerk?
I didn't ask.
Why didn't you?
That's why we get these rude calls.
I'm sorry, sir.
Darn it.
-Sir.
-Yes?
Did you hear the rumor?
What rumor?
I heard the position
of director of Chief Team Two
at Headquarters is vacant.
So what?
You should go back to Headquarters.
No, thanks.
That place gives me headaches.
-I wouldn't go even if they begged me.
-What?
If you're away for too long,
even your family will forget about you.
That's a scary thought.
BO-MI'S DAD
-Hello?
-Hey.
What took you so long to pick up?
Do you ever pick up my calls?
Well…
Is everything okay?
If it isn't, can you come home?
Hey, come on.
You're talking to your husband.
Why can't you--
Get to the point.
Where's Bo-mi?
Bo-mi, it's Dad.
No.
-She doesn't want to talk.
-Okay.
Bye.
-Sir!
-Yes.
You have to come back to the office.
NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL CENTER
COMPREHENSIVE CONTROL SYSTEM
-I'm busy.
-Wait.
Didn't you book Lian Wedding Hall?
-Yes, we did. What is it?
-Oh, the thing is,
I called them to check something for Mom,
and they said
you haven't paid the deposit.
What?
I can't get a hold of Ki-jun.
Is everything all right?
He would never miss that.
There must have been a mistake.
-It's time.
-I'll check. Bye.
All right. Wait. What is that?
What's that spot?
Convective clouds have formed
due to an unstable atmosphere.
What's the humidity there?
Currently, it's about 82 percent.
Will they condense and fall?
The chance of evaporation
is more than 70 percent.
The figures are too indefinite
to make a severe weather alert.
Let's have a meeting first.
Okay.
We'll start the March 14
forecast discussion.
Satellite center?
This is the satellite center.
The cloud monitor shows
a cloud band currently
developing in the northeast.
Please give your opinion on that,
Gangwon Office.
Given the characteristics of this region,
it won't lead to precipitation.
It's going to rain.
It will rain for sure!
Why is he getting worked up again?
Hey, can't you see the sky is clear?
I sent you the data.
This is a bomb.
-It's going to pour.
-Yes. I saw it
and we're having a meeting because of it.
Sit here and wait.
We don't have time.
A heavy rain advisory
should be issued right now.
Wait.
Look at the spike
in the ground temperature here.
Gangwon Office said it was temporary,
but it's very unstable,
so it can develop into a rain cloud.
Well…
Here.
But this is…
Metropolitan Office, what is it?
SEOUL METROPOLITAN OFFICE
OF METEOROLOGY
The clouds currently forming
in Gangwon Province
look unusual.
Are you saying
they'll turn into rain clouds?
-Yes, within an hour.
-On what grounds?
Excuse me.
An hour ago, they were low-level clouds.
Now they're passing through Chuncheon
and developing rapidly.
I'll upload the data and explain.
There he goes again.
He's the one who predicted the hail.
-So?
-I thought you should know.
Don't you know
how dry the atmosphere is now?
Even if the rain clouds are large enough
to be caught as an echo,
they'll evaporate
before reaching the metropolitan area.
What if they continue
to absorb water while moving north?
They're being supplied with water vapor
as the lower layer temperature
of the region rises.
Just an hour ago, the clouds
were only two kilometers thick.
Currently, they're 5 to 6km thick.
Moreover, the surface temperature
in the east metropolitan area is high.
Due to the unstable atmosphere,
clouds are more likely to develop
and enter the region
rather than evaporate.
If my prediction is correct,
in two to three hours,
there will be heavy rain
in the metropolitan area.
Just tell me
the probability of precipitation.
Yes, it's…
It's about 18.7 to 18.8 percent.
-That's correct.
-So…
the probability of evaporation
is more than 80 percent.
Why are you making it sound difficult
by using decimal points?
Acting Director Jin.
What do you think?
I checked again and they said
the wedding hall deposit wasn't paid.
They told Ki-jun that
the reservation will be canceled
if he doesn't pay by today.
It's not even midsummer.
It's mid-March.
A heavy rain advisory
with less than a 20 percent chance?
I don't think we need to worry
with these numbers.
Isn't the default setting wrong
because you're stuck
with the seasonal formula?
Forecasting is about probabilities.
-That's why you're always wrong.
-What?
The 17th summer typhoon last year,
the winter fog this year,
and the hail too.
You relied on probability,
and see what happened.
Why have forecasters at all
when we can have
supercomputers calculate the weather?
POWER OFF
Weather is about a flow.
You can't change the flow
with a few numbers.
The basics of weather is variability.
Even a small phenomenon
can greatly affect it.
Are you trying to lecture me?
No.
I'm just saying that
the important points are different.
Enough. Move aside.
All right.
Acting Director Jin.
You need to make a decision.
Why don't we do this?
The hypothesis suggested by
the Metropolitan Office is reasonable,
but the probability is too low.
The evidence is weak,
and no cases were provided.
-I collected all the data and…
-Calm down.
We'll decide whether to issue
a heavy rain advisory after an hour.
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Office
should provide additional data.
Let's move on to the weekend weather.
Hey!
He won't just let it go.
-Do you know him?
-He's Lee Si-woo.
I've worked with him
on Baengnyeong Island.
I see.
He's usually quite gentle.
But when it comes to weather,
he's very tenacious.
It's a little unsettling
because there's always something
when he's persistent.
Hi. It's me.
Yes. What is it?
You can issue a special alert, right?
Yes, so what?
I have a feeling.
Hey.
No.
I can't do it.
You missed the hail.
Will you miss the rain too?
Hey.
You're nuts.
Anything else from other offices?
-No.
-No.
That's it for the meeting.
-Good work.
-Good work.
Good work.
Are you insane? What are you doing?
What's going on?
The Metropolitan Office issued
a heavy rain advisory just now.
What?
Did you do this?
Why did you do this
without reporting it to the director?
Because she wouldn't listen.
She also ignored the hail signals
because the probability was low.
What is he saying?
The Metropolitan Office
had reported hail signals.
The forecaster you just saw
detected them first.
It was less than five percent.
It was close to five percent.
So, that's why you declared severe weather
without your superior's permission?
Is it?
If you'll do whatever you want,
why do you need superiors and a system?
Why don't you set up
a forecasting company then?
I'm sorry.
A severe weather alert has been issued.
So keep your posts.
I need to talk to you.
Okay.
This is insane.
Why didn't you report it to Director Choi?
Because the probability was low.
So…
why did you skip the director
and make that decision?
Why?
Okay.
File a report.
Shut up.
If it doesn't rain in an hour, we're dead.
Don't worry. It'll rain.
Hey.
You're the one who declared severe weather
without permission from Headquarters?
Yes. So?
Do you know how much it costs
when a severe weather alert is issued?
Will you take responsibility
if this forecast is wrong?
Did you take responsibility
for being wrong about the hail forecast?
What?
No, you weren't wrong.
You didn't report it at all.
I heard about your situation.
But even if you're busy
getting ready for your wedding,
you shouldn't miss any weather reports.
Forecasters shouldn't neglect
the safety and convenience
of the people for personal reasons.
-Hey.
-My name is Lee Si-woo.
Lee Si-woo.
Will I take responsibility
for this forecast?
Let me tell you about my responsibilities.
I use the data I've obtained
to predict the weather and make forecasts.
I'm confident in my forecast.
That confidence comes
only when I do my best.
The same goes with the hail forecast.
Are you telling me
that I didn't do my best?
You have a wedding coming up,
-so I understand.
-Hey, you!
I'm Lee Si-woo of the Metropolitan Office.
Hey, Lee Si-woo.
Wait right there.
Why? Are you coming?
I said wait.

ALL EMPLOYEES,

Heavy rain advisory
has been issued across the seas.
Coast guards on dispatch,
please notify nearby ships
of safety guidelines.
-Roger that.
-Copy.
-Please check.
-Okay.
There's nothing to check. They'll be fine.
Goodness.
-Come closer.
-Hurry.
Cover it up and place the sandbags.
Pull it up more.
More?
HEAVY RAIN ADVISORY ISSUED
FOR METROPOLITAN AREA
HEAVY RAIN ADVISORY
IN METROPOLITAN AREA
SEOUL METROPOLITAN OFFICE
OF METEOROLOGY
What are you doing?
The woman from Headquarters
won't actually come, right?
Of course not.
Jeez.
She probably got mad
because you were being rude and…
Goodness. She's here.
Well, I'm done here.
I think she's here to see you.
Mr. Lee Si-woo?
-You really came.
-Do you know me?
No.
Then how dare you talk about me like that?
That's because you kept ignoring my--
Didn't you think
that maybe I was being careful?
In any case, you didn't report it,
so a lot of people suffered--
Do you know how much
public manpower is used
every time a special advisory is issued?
Billions could have been wasted
because of an under five percent chance.
I had no choice but to consider that.
Still, you can't ignore the signals.
If it rains an hour later
than our forecast,
people mock us for making an error.
What if the heavy rain advisory is wrong?
So you chose to make a safe bet.
What?
"Since we'll get criticized either way,
let's choose not to waste money."
"Let's try to avoid
one of the two arrows."
Is that what you were thinking?
If so, don't worry.
It will rain. I'm certain of it.
Who do you think you are?
Si as in time and Woo as in rain.
Rain that falls at the right time.
I'm Lee Si-woo.
It's going to rain.
NAMSAN
Gosh, that's…
Sir.
DONGJAK BRIDGE
I can see that.
Gosh, look at that.
Would you look at that?
Take it.
It's pouring.
CALL ME WHEN YOU SEE THIS
THIS IS URGEN
Did you check with Ki-jun?
MESSAGES
I emailed Mr. Han to confirm the
final draft of your wedding invitation,
but he didn't reply.
Please confirm.
-Your honeymoon reservation
-The wedding return gifts
-has been canceled due to late payment.
-you ordered
-has been canceled.
-Your wedding dress is ready.
-But I got a cancellation message.
-Please call us.
It's been canceled.
-Please confirm.
-Please call us.
KI-JUN
The number you are calling
is currently switched off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What did she say?
Ha-kyung isn't picking up either.
I think we'll lose
the wedding hall reservation.
Doors opening.
Doors closing.
The signals were simple.
Sometimes they were sounds.
Sometimes they were colors…
and sometimes they were vibrations.
They kept signaling to me…
that nothing was safe in this world.
Just in case.
You're home.
What's all this?
It's food for our trip.
It'll stop raining tomorrow morning.
So there's no problem.
This?
It's for an emergency.
We aren't going camping.
I booked a cottage.
Let's break up.
What?
I want to break up.
Why all of a sudden?
It isn't all of a sudden.
I've been wanting to break up
with you for a long time.
2 MONTHS LATER
That star is so bright.
The sky cleared up nicely.
That's a satellite, Director Choi.
Hey.
Why are you always so rigid?
I know it's a satellite.
All right.
That's why I always trusted what you said
even when I don't trust my wife.
I should've been rigid then too.
When?
The day it hailed?
Sir, I think you should check this.
What? Gosh…
What is it?
Never mind.
We were on alert all week
because of the fog.
I know you didn't report it because
you were afraid I'd be overwhelmed.
I was presumptuous.
Would it have been different
if you had reported it?
No.
I would have ignored it too.
The fog was extremely thick
in the west coast area that day.
Thanks to you,
we prevented a major collision
like the Yeongjong Bridge collision.
Nobody knows that though.
So what if no one knows?
It's great that nobody was hurt.
I hope you return soon.
Didn't you know? I resigned.
Sir.
I'm going to do everything
I wasn't able to do.
Why did you--
My wife is really happy.
Thanks.
If it wasn't for you,
I wouldn't have retired this early.
I'm relieved that you're taking my place.
My life is about to be flooded
because I missed the signals.
What you see now isn't everything.
Both weather and people need time
for you to get to know them better.
The weather isn't always bad.
There are sunny days
as well as windy and rainy days.
There's always a reason for everything.
PERSONNEL CHANGES
JIN HA-KYUNG: DIRECTOR
Will she be okay?
Well, she's smart.
Supercomputers are smart too,
but they make mistakes.
Experience is the most
important quality for directors.
She'll always play by the book
and be picky.
Then what's going to happen?
What do you mean?
Deputy Director Han will be back
from his honeymoon soon.
Will they be okay working together?
They have no choice.
They can't just quit their jobs.
People around them
are going to be stressed out.
It'll be like walking on egg--
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
SAFE COUNTRY, PEACEFUL PEOPLE
Did you see it?
The personnel changes?
Yes, I saw it.
Well…
about Deputy Director Han.
I guess you didn't see it.
The transfer was canceled.
He's good at responding to the press.
So the Administrator
wants to keep him around
because he thinks highly of that.
I see.
Will you be okay?
I'd be happy if you stayed
with Chief Team Two.
But you'll have to keep working with him.
Is that all right?
Why don't you follow
in the footsteps of your colleagues
and aim for higher-ranking positions?
You have enough field experience.
Are you telling me
to leave the Forecast Bureau?
There's an opportunity for you
to go to the WMO for dispatch training.
You have more than enough experience.
I'll write a reference letter.
What do you say?
-It's in Geneva, Switzerland, right?
-Yes.
It's for one year and it can be extended.
There was more than just a breakup
at the end of an office romance.
Tae-kyung, did you take my TV?
It's not there?
Mom, did you move Ha-kyung's TV?
Why would I?
I know how angry she gets
when I move her stuff.
Why? Is her TV missing?
No. Never mind. I'm hanging up.
OFFICE OF SPOKESPERSON
HAN KI-JUN
No.
OFFICE OF SPOKESPERSON
HAN KI-JUN
Hello? What's up?
What?
Oh, I guess my finger slipped.
I'm doing well, as always.
Well…
did you perhaps take the TV?
Yes, I took it.
-The induction stove too?
-Yes.
The toothbrush sanitizer too?
You told me to pack up and leave.
I thought you meant
I could take what I needed.
No?
How could you interpret it that way?
I said take your stuff and leave.
Hey.
Technically, half of the stuff is mine
because we paid for it together.
I left the fridge behind,
so I think we're even.
What about the apartment registration?
Listen, Ha-kyung.
I've been thinking about it,
so how about we do this?
I'll give you your money back,
and take it off your hand.
Take what off?
The apartment is under both our names.
Rather than selling it to someone else,
it'll be better this way.
You said it was alimony
when you called the wedding off.
I did. I said that but…
But?
I checked the price and it went up a lot.
So?
Let's split it. Half and half.
As expected,
a breakup wasn't enough
to end things with this bastard.
Like the wind,
an affair is invisible
but it always leaves a trace.
You can go about your day and leave.
I'm the new Severe Weather Forecaster
of Chief Team Two.
I was appointed here.
I think Director Jin will
get replaced soon.
Han Ki-jun!
-I have no choice.
-So what? Do you want to fight?
Director Jin.
I was curious about how you were doing.
Cheers!
I'm never going to date
a colleague ever again.
Come on. You never know.
