My Man Is Cupid (2023) s01e01 Episode Script

1
I heard this is a famous spot
for blind dates.
My friend went on a blind date here
and got married in the fall.
I'll call you back.
What's the name on your reservation?
It was nice meeting you today.
Yes, you too.
-Good night then…
-Yes, goodbye.
Mi-seon!
Yes?
You wait right there too.
Do you want to watch a movie
with me this weekend?
I fell for you at first sight.
Give me your phone.
This is my number.
And this is my answer.
-Did you confirm my reservation yet?
-You'll be in Room Two.
-This way, please.
-Yes.
LOVE ROOM
EP1. I AM A FAIRY
-Hey.
-There we go!
Yes, that's it!
After love swept through…
500 years of desolation.
Welcome back.
I asked you to at least put the dishes
in water after you eat.
How many times do I have to tell you?
That's right!
Oh, man.
Ddaeng-chil, I told you
to go potty on the pad.
I bought you an extra large one!
Why do you always
do your business on the side?
Hey, Sang-hyuk!
We're leaving in an hour,
so get our food ready.
Man, that was good.
Tonight's meal wasn't half bad,
Chef Sang-hyuk.
Let's go work now.
When will all this hard labor
come to an end?
What kind of hard labor
have you ever done?
He and I've been doing everything.
-What have you done?
-That's right.
It's not like I was partying.
I did a lot too.
I came home at midnight yesterday.
So you were the one who was doing
a lousy job of shooting?
When I came home from work last night,
I'm sure there was only
a mark missing from there.
Damn Dong-gu.
When I shorten it, you make it longer.
This keeps happening over and over.
Are you working or getting in the way?
Don't you want to leave this world?
Shall we just live here forever?
Where the heck did you go yesterday?
The Golden Horse building.
I fired shots at the men and women
who were working late there. So what?
Didn't it ever occur to you that
some of them might be married?
I forgot about them.
Just stay at home today.
When he turns back into Dong-chil,
I'll work with him.
Don't do anything.
-Not a thing.
-Hey!
I have the right to go wherever I want.
You're not helping at all.
What have you done that's so great?
What have I done?
Are you serious?
The arrow is like that because
I worked my butt off.
Most of that arrow turned to gold
because of me.
Do you even know how I feel?
I have to work with a guy
who keeps turning into a dog
and another guy who's always screwing up.
Do you know how hard it is for me
to work with the two of you?
It's like doing a group project
with two people no one else wants!
I have to do everything!
Hey! It's unfair to me too.
I tried to stop you back then.
Don't you remember?
I said we shouldn't touch that.
So why did you? Why?
Why do you think?
It's all your fault, Sang-hyuk.
I'm sorry.
This is all because of you.
We're in this mess
because we were trying to save you.
You know…
You've been telling me that
for the past 500 years.
No!
My body felt so heavy at the beginning.
We've been stuck in these forms
for the past 500 years!
He was turned into a dog
because he was the one who shot the arrow.
For God's sake, look at his face!
Even as a dog, he looks sad
because he's stuck like this.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I really am.
Come on. We're almost there.
We just need to work a little more.
We're really almost there now.
Walk time!
Not that one.
Hey, you're really feisty today!
Do you think she was reborn?
I'm talking about the court lady
who made us like this.
Why are you suddenly bringing her up?
No special reason.
I'm just curious.
Maybe it's because we're leaving soon.
She was probably reborn.
Many times.
In different forms.
GUGI-DONG ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Hello, this is the 24-hour
Gugi-dong Animal Hospital.
POPPY ANIMAL CLINIC
-What was her name again?
-Oh Baek-ryeon.
"Oh Baek-ryeon"?
Her name sounds like a swear word.
They have similar pronunciation,
but her name means "pitiful."
And she's known as
the "Gwyneth Paltrow of Gugi-dong."
I heard that men call her a goddess.
Gwyneth Paltrow? Don't be ridiculous.
Ever since that damn woman came here,
our clinic has been doing terribly.
I need to do something.
Did even Andre change over to her?
You say he's not eating or drinking?
He looks okay though…
The results from the last physical exam
look good too.
I don't see any problem.
There is a problem.
I don't have an appetite for food
nor for water.
Because on my first day here,
an angel came down from heaven
and shot me in the heart.
Will you accept it?
My goddess.
I'm so jealous of her.
I envy her.
What's the point?
It's a useless confession.
Huh? What do you mean?
Why is it useless?
There's no point in being a beauty
who can enchant hundreds of men
when the men get hurt
the day you start dating them.
-Yeah.
-What? They get hurt?
OH BAEK-RYEON, NINE YEARS OLD
FIRST BOYFRIEND, NINE YEARS OLD
FIRST BOYFRIEND'S MISFORTUNE,
BROKEN FINGER
OH BAEK-RYEON, 17 YEARS OLD
SECOND BOYFRIEND, 17 YEARS OLD
SECOND BOYFRIEND'S MISFORTUNE,
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
THIRD BOYFRIEND - OH BAEK-RYEON
From today, Oh Baek-ryeon is my girl!
THIRD BOYFRIEND'S MISFORTUNE,
BLOOD LOSS
Oh, no! Oh, my gosh!
FOURTH BOYFRIEND - OH BAEK-RYEON
Here's to the first day of our love.
Oh, my gosh! You're choking!
I heard they all got into
some kind of accident.
-They nearly died.
-Help!
FOURTH BOYFRIEND'S MISFORTUNE,
CHOKED ON A RING
So after going through all that,
she doesn't want to endanger another man.
She said that's why
she became a veterinarian.
Because animals don't get hurt
even if she loves them.
Her family must be upset.
Their daughter can't see anyone.
Dr. Oh is an orphan.
She doesn't have any family.
Really?
She's never been loved by her parents.
Plus, she can't even meet a man?
My gosh. She must be so lonely.
But she really can't date men?
-I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
-Who knows?
-Maybe heaven will forgive her.
-I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
I beg you. Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I'm really sorry.
Please forgive me.
Why do these things happen to me?
Why does every man I meet
get into some kind of accident?
THREE YEARS AGO
You committed a grave sin
in your past life.
Huh? A grave sin?
You coveted something you shouldn't have.
Because of that, you've been reborn
and living lonely lives for 500 years.
What exactly did I covet to be punished
for 500 years?
But…
this time, I see one person.
One person?
The man of your destiny.
Climb to the top of Inwangsan Mountain
and face the east side.
You'll see a cliff in that direction.
Go there and beg
with all your heart for forgiveness.
Say that you're sorry.
On the day of the thousandth time
you go up to ask for forgiveness,
someone will appear.
Someone will appear?
A man who knows the past will come to you.
Sir.
That's enough.
We just came here to get
a tarot card reading for fun.
But you're saying
all these ridiculous things.
Why can't you just tell her that
those things won't happen from now on
and give her some hope?
You want her to hike up Inwangsan Mountain
a thousand times? Can you do that?
It's not like jumping rope
a thousand times.
Why are you so serious?
Get up. Let's go.
7452 9431.
I see three severely injured and one dead.
What is he talking about?
That's enough, mister.
Let's just go.
I guess he says weird things like that
on purpose.
Where's the owner who was here?
The owner? I'm the owner here.
What's the matter?
It was a man. He was sitting right here
reading tarot cards.
What are you talking about?
I'm the owner here.
What man is she talking about?
Then who was that man from earlier?
Why would there be a man here
at this hour?
That man is even prettier than me.
Is he a fairy or something?
What is love?
Do you like someone?
No.
-Did someone ask you out?
-No.
Then why do you ask?
I think I will have to love someone soon.
Well…
I think…
Love is a curse.
So do it when you are older.
Mr. Right?
Of course, he exists.
How do you know
if he's the man of your dreams?
-Do you want to know how?
-Yes. Tell us.
You wear a white dress
with a knife in your mouth.
Face the east and bow down 12 times.
Do that for one whole month.
The night you see the first full moon
on the 30th day,
a silhouette will appear on the knife
as you put it down.
A man's silhouette.
-He will be the man of your dreams.
-It sounds fun.
-Is there such a thing?
-It's nonsense.
What's this? I'm disappointed.
Right?
Us freaks are very rational.
We don't fall for such things.
What kind of idiot does?
What are you talking about?
She's not stupid.
But there's someone in my house
who believes in things like that.
Seven more times.
I'm done.
What's all this?
When did you get here?
When you started talking
about the man of your dreams.
Gosh.
I feel like I'm drinking with two people.
Who do you want to drink with?
The left side or the right side?
Let's all just drink together.
Hey, did you go again today?
Including today, that's about 990--
993 times.
That's amazing.
How can you go hiking 993 times?
You're really something.
Is this why you're going?
-To enjoy a drink after hiking.
-This is the only joy I have.
-It's lonely up there.
-Hey.
Take me with you on your thousandth hike.
I want to see this man of your destiny
that made you hike up
a mountain 1,000 times.
I did all the hard work.
Why would I bring you with me at the end?
-You want a love triangle?
-If he's worth it…
This is delicious.
I was just kidding. It was a joke.
Just eat your food. It's delicious.
This place makes good food.
Don't say stuff like that.
It will bring bad luck.
LOVE ROOM
Ddaeng-chil!
You punk. Hey, Ddaeng-chil.
-My goodness, that dog.
-Ddaeng-chil.
-Ddaeng-chil.
-Hey, Ddaeng-chil.
Don't hug him too hard. He's a man too.
What are you talking about?
He's not a man. He's just a dog.
-A cute dog.
-You could be wrong.
Welcome. I've prepared it as you asked.
Let's go in.
Hey, come on.
-Hurry up and bring Ddaeng-chil in.
-No, he's so cute.
Let's go, Ddaeng-chil. Come on.
They seem to come every other day.
They're the VIPs at the Love Room.
It seems like they're close to the boss.
We don't know much about them.
It's expensive here though.
They must be very rich.
I got your credit card reissued.
I'm so glad to have a card again.
I had a hard time
without it for the past few days.
In this world,
I'm just a beggar without this.
Use it all you want. I raised the limit.
Really? You're the best, Mr. Park.
Why is your card the only one
that always has a problem?
How much do you even spend?
Hey, I only spend money
at convenience stores.
Dong-pal only goes to expensive
department stores and hotels with women.
You should go, too. Oh, wait.
You don't have a girl to go with.
Hey, it's not like they like you.
They like this.
Then why can't you get girls with that?
My goodness.
I really don't get women.
Why do they like this pale punk?
He isn't cool at all.
I think I know why.
Me too.
Enjoy your meals.
What?
Fairies?
And one of them turns
into a dog all the time?
It all started from the time
of our ancestors.
Their finger techniques
made the Love Room what it is today.
We are all wealthy thanks to them.
So from now on, you have to take
good care of them behind the scenes.
Okay?
Grandpa.
You're teasing me, right?
A fairy? He must be messing with me.
Who are you?
Why are you standing there?
-Get out of my way.
-I am that fairy.
You have a crush on someone.
How did you know that?
You want me to make her like you?
There are times like that in life.
This is so pretty.
Come take a look around, ma'am.
You start to have feelings
without realizing it.
This is for you. Have it. Take this too.
Take this, okay?
Out of the blue, someone starts
to look beautiful to you.
I fell in love with you at first sight.
They look charming.
You feel so in love with them.
Sometimes, it's cheeky.
Sometimes, it's goofy.
We're the ones who made that happen.
That's how we've lived
among humans for 500 years.
As the cupids of love.
-The ears are clean.
-I see.
It's over. We're over.
Please reconsider. I'll be better.
Just go!
Yoon-sol! Please.
Yoon-sol…
Yoon-sol…
Yoon-sol…
Get up.
The woman in there is not the one for you.
What do you mean?
Your destiny is very close
to you right now.
So go home.
Have some soju and just forget about her.
Soon, you'll be with someone
with a good heart.
How do you know that?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Hang in there.
What the heck? What does he mean
my destiny is close to me?
I'm in the mountains.
You're in the mountains again?
It's time for us to eat.
Why are you there?
What about our dinner?
Come home and make our food now.
Can't you eat by yourselves?
You can find rice and side dishes
in the containers.
You're supposed to set it all up for me.
What did you say when we got stuck here?
What did you say?
You said you won't make me work at all.
Rice will stick to my hands
if I take it out from the rice cooker.
And my hands will get messy
if I take out the side dishes!
Why are you going back on your word?
Okay, okay.
I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Jeez.
What?
They didn't even leave their phone number.
YEON-JA'S MOUNTAIN VALLEY
RESTAURAN
License plate 4782.
Is the owner of that car here?
What, 4782?
Is the owner of that car not here?
Is your license plate 4782?
Please move your car.
Honey.
Oh, my goodness!
My gosh! She passed out.
What are you waiting for? Help her up.
You want me to help her up?
I heard her calling you "honey" just now.
I'm sorry, but I'm not her boyfriend.
I am her boyfriend.
-Don't be ridiculous. I am her boyfriend.
-I'm her boyfriend. My name is Kim Honey!
Jeez!
What are you waiting for?
Are you going to leave your girlfriend
in the care of complete strangers?
I'm a stranger to her too.
So you want to see these sly men
take her away?
You may resent her for drinking a lot
but you shouldn't leave her like this.
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up and carry her.
What? Carry this lady?
You're her "honey."
Who else is supposed to?
Excuse me.
Wake up. Excuse me!
Hey, don't ask. Just carry her.
Could you help me out here?
That punk is really her boyfriend?
Didn't he say he wasn't earlier?
All right.
-You need to pay the bill.
-What?
How much is it?
Seven bottles of rice wine
and six scallion jeon. It's 102,000 won.
It's a total of 102,000 won.
Are you sure she came by herself?
How did she finish all that on her own?
She had it all by herself. Your girlfriend
eats so well. She really does.
-Don't forget to take her bag too.
-Her bag?
Yes.
-4782!
-Yes, it's me.
-Is your plate 4782?
-Yes, it's 4782.
-Move your car right now.
-I'm so sorry.
You smell good.
Please let go now. Let go. Your arms!
Hey. Where do you live?
Wake up. Where do you live?
Excuse me. Please give me
one more bottle of makgeolli.
Are you serious?
Ddol!
Ddol! Where are you?
Ddol!
I've been looking for you!
What are you doing over there?
Did you find something?
Yes. I think it's them.
-There's a bag here.
-I'll call you later.
406,490 WON
There's one more bag.
RELIABLE POLICE, SAFE COUNTRY
-I'm exhausted today.
-Detective Park.
You scared me.
I heard the skeletons are the girls
from the Polka Dot High School Girls case.
I need to see the DNA results
to confirm it.
I'll talk to you later. I'm busy.
Known as the "Missing Polka Dot
High School Girls" case…
YOO JEONG-AH
…Yoo Jeong-ah's and Song Da-hee's remains
were recently found at Inwangsan Mountain.
Reporter Lee Ju-won is covering the story.
The 1993 case drew attention
when people found out that
both of the missing girls were wearing
the same polka-dot coats.
Numerous investigative forces
were dispatched.
But they couldn't catch the culprit,
so it remains unsolved.
Did you have a good sleep?
-Why am I here?
-A man dropped you off here last night.
-He said he found you on the streets.
-What? I was sleeping on the street?
But…
who was it?
How was the meal?
It was all right.
Ever since we got a new chef,
things seemed to be unstable for a while.
But now they seem to be settling down.
I'm glad you liked the food.
I'll do my best to serve you
until you leave.
Finally, I'm left
with the last metamorphosis.
May I watch over that last one for you?
A metamorphosis is not something
that people watch.
I will go quietly.
I understand, sir.
This is for you.
I went there with my family on the weekend
and thought of you.
Do you think people know…
that you're so close to us?

DAE-SIK
Yes, Dae-sik.
We found Jeong-ah.
DNA RESULTS CONFIRM
THE REMAINS ARE YOO JEONG-AH
PARK DAE-SIK
We found Jeong-ah's remains.
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
Everything that can be used
as evidence has decomposed.
There is also nothing special
about her belongings.
I like you.
I'll wait for you at the park
at 10:00 p.m. after school.
I'll wait there forever.
You better show up.
See you later.
It's going to snow for the first time
this year today. It's going to snow a lot.
Excuse me.
Please find my girl.
Please help me find my daughter.
I…
I climbed up this mountain
countless times.
I can't believe she was here
this whole time.
She must have been so scared.
She must've been…
so cold.
There is a heavy snow warning
in the metropolitan area.
Starting today, we expect heavy snow
in the metropolitan area.
-What? He wasn't your boyfriend?
-No.
If I had a boyfriend,
I wouldn't have climbed up that mountain.
Then why did you pass out on that guy
after calling him "honey" that day?
Who is that young man?
They told me about him
at the police station too.
My goodness. I guess you can't remember.
-So you want makgeolli and scallion jeon?
-Yes.
Who on earth is he?
I called him "honey"?
The rest of the country
except for the east coast
will have one to five centimeters of snow.
Come to think of it,
I think he smelled nice.
Don't drink too much by yourself.
You should drink together.
She came alone too.
You should drink with her.
It's more fun to drink with others.
Get home safely.
You get home safely too.
Wait.
What's going on?
Damn it.
Is he out of his mind?
What the hell? Is he crazy?
What's wrong with him?
Why is he doing this?
Hey! Go away!
Go!
I said go away! Damn it!
Why are you doing this?
A man who abandons his child has given up
on being a human.
I'm sorry. Please don't kill me.
I hope you're reborn as a good person.
Hold on. I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry!
Where were you?
You must've been so cold.
Baek-ryeon.
What do you think love is?
I don't know. I've never been in love.
What? You've never been in love?
But you're a gorgeous woman.
What happened?
Well, I heard I committed a big sin
in my past life.
That's why I can't date a man.
What? That's nonsense.
There's no such thing.
I didn't want to believe it either,
but I had no choice but to believe it.
What do you think love is, Eun-seo?
Fate.
Something that always finds you.
Fate? Something that always finds you.
I didn't do anything wrong.
It's not a sin.
This too is fate.
Why don't we exchange numbers?
Sure, why not? Hold on.
I think I forgot to bring my phone.
I'll just call your number.
Save it when you get home.
Tell me your number.
Okay. It's 010…
-07--
-Give me a second.
Hello?
You are here?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Was that the man of your dreams?
Your battery is out.
You forgot to bring your phone.
And my battery is out.
What's wrong with us?
Does fate not want us to meet again?
I'm a woman who defies fate.
Here.
I hope we see each other again.
I'll call you.
No, I'll pay for it.
You can get the bill next time we meet.
Sure. Thank you for the meal.
Sure.
It was nice meeting you.
Let's meet again soon.
GUGI-DONG ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Dr. Oh, you should go and see this.
What is this?
"God of Love"? "Cupid Special Exhibition"?
I thought you might need some help
from the God of Love.
-You heard my story?
-Yes.
Who knows?
Cupid might aim his bow at you.
Then you'll fall in love at the gallery.
They better not show up in front of me.
I have a lot of complaints to make.
GOD OF LOVE
CUPID SPECIAL EXHIBIT INVITATION
GOD OF LOVE
There will be no love in your life.
I won't set you up with anyone.
SPECIAL EXHIBITION: GOD OF LOVE
"THE LEGENDARY CUPID"
This is a painting of
a girl fighting against Cupid.
Cupid tries to stick his arrow.
But the girl refuses it.
If you look closely, it looks like
she actually wants the arrow.
So it may be that she's not pushing the
arrow away, rather pulling it towards her.
Isn't love something that you're afraid of
but you really want to experience?
Eros first appeared in art around 570 BC.
He is also the son of Aphrodite and…
What kind of a god is Cupid?
-What did you say?
-What kind of god is he?
-What kind of god? He is…
-He's a jerk.
He's a mean bastard
who never shoots an arrow at me.
Otherwise, why would I be so lonely?
Does she know me?
Hold on. Isn't she…
Honey.
The drunk woman?
-Teacher!
-What's wrong?
-She said Cupid is a bastard.
-What?
What?
Why would she swear at a kid?
Did you just call me a bastard?
Are you Cupid?
-Well, no.
-I called Cupid a bastard.
Why did you look at me when you said that?
People will judge me if I look at the boy.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know he would go
and tell his teacher.
He's running away
after a one-night stand. What a jerk.
What? Do you mean this guy?
This is such a noble painting.
How could you have such a barbaric idea?
You think this is noble?
He's running away.
He's running away while she's sleeping.
-That's what a thug would do.
-A thug?
It reminds me of the thug who left me
at the police station a few days ago.
-A thug.
-Why did he even leave me there?
Wait.
You…
Honey.
Honey?
Pardon?
I am right. You are that guy
I called "honey."
-No, I'm not your "honey."
-What on earth did you do to me?
What did I do?
I was having a glass of makgeolli
at the restaurant.
-Why did you leave me at a police station?
-Just a glass of makgeolli?
You had seven bottles of makgeolli
and six scallion jeon.
It was a total of 102,000 won.
You had all that.
And I paid the bill.
-Why did you pay?
-The restaurant owner told me to.
-Why did she do that?
-Because you called me "honey."
-You could've refused.
-I did,
and she accused me of being a jerk.
She said even if I resent my girlfriend
for drinking too much,
I can't abandon her among
men with bad intentions.
And that day, you got on my back.
Is that why you abandoned me
at the police station?
You were so drunk that you didn't reply
when I asked where you lived.
Well, you did say, "Please give me
one more bottle of makgeolli."
You could have left me at a warm place.
Motels aren't that expensive.
I didn't want you to call me
a thug the next day.
Thank you.
After hearing all that, it seems you're
quite the gentleman. What's your name?
-It's fine.
-Is that your name?
I don't think we need to exchange names.
How about just a nickname?
I'm Gwyneth of Gugi-dong.
-Gwyneth?
-Gwyneth Paltrow.
-You don't know who she is?
-Of course I do.
I know.
Are you drinking again?
It's not me. Men call me that.
They say I look like Gwyneth Paltrow.
They think I'm delicate like a flower.
I see.
Do you have a nickname?
-I don't.
-Then should I come up with one?
-I don't think that's necessary.
-You can be Superman.
-Superman?
-You said you saved me.
You saved me from the men
with bad intentions.
I'll call you "Mr. Superman"
if we meet each other again.
Do you think we'll meet again?
You never know.
Who knows?
Maybe the next time we meet,
we'll be each other's flowers.
"When I called out his name,
he came to me and became a flower."
You know "Flower" by Kim Chun-soo, right?
You know what?
I don't form bonds with people.
-What?
-Especially with women.
You don't?
I want to though.
I really want to form bonds with people.
I have a story.
I have a reason
why I don't have a boyfriend.
So I want to ask them if I have a chance.
I want to ask them,
"Why are you so mean to me only?"
Just one arrow.
I just want one shot at love.
I should have a heartwarming memory
of being with someone.
What's up with this woman?
Look at his wild biceps.
He's totally sexy.
She has no one she's destined to be with?
What in the world?
She really has no red thread of fate.
You pretended like you were not,
but you're so predictable.
-Predictable?
-Is that how you've been looking at me?
With such passion in your eyes?
I was looking at the painting near you.
-That one.
-I'm as beautiful as the painting, right?
-What?
-I have eyes in the back of my head.
It's because men stare so much
at me from behind.
So I have eyes here now.
Don't fall for me.
You'll get hurt if you fall for me.
I'm saving you too.
Don't fall for me
if you don't want to get hurt.
I don't think you need to worry.
Don't be so sure.
You'll fall for me
if you let your guard down.
By the way, what is this smell?
-What are you doing?
-Hold on. I smell something.
What smell?
