Spice Up Our Love (2024) s01e01 Episode Script

Kim Do-gyeom.
Today…
you'll be a dead man.
Okay, let go of the knife.
Let go of the knife first.
Okay, I let it go.
All right, calm down.
Wait, wait!
-This is so unfair!
-Okay!
SEO YEON-SEO, AGE 29
MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
JOB: NUTRITIONIS
MOTTO: "EAT WHAT IS GIVEN"
Today was our one-year anniversary,
but he was feeding another woman.
I went the extra mile
to make a reservation at that restaurant.
Damn, that bastard.
He was wearing the watch I bought him.
Still, you can't walk around with a knife.
What is that? Is that blood?
Beets. It's beet juice.
What? Now, calm down
and tell us what happened.
Take a deep breath.
Exhale.
Beet.
She asked for a beat.
I didn't mean "beat."
I meant beet, a type of root vegetable.
Beets have red pigment that has betaine,
which acts as an antioxidant,
which may help prevent cancer
and reduce inflammation.
Oh, right.
You said you were a nutritionist.
But why were you chopping beets
on your anniversary?
My boss won't eat my sausages.
What?
My freaking boss won't
freaking eat my sausages.
Sausages are basically made
of 90% or more pork base,
filled with eggs, onions,
and Cheongyang chili pepper
among other ingredients,
and pressed tightly into a casing.
But beets, kabocha squash…
Wait, what was this again?
Anyway, since I've been working
for this bastard of a boss
with bizarre taste buds,
I have tried everything.
But the result has been…
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again!
Again!
Again!
Every day, that bastard wants
sausages served at lunch
until I can replicate the taste
of the sausage that he had as a kid.
-Every day?
-Yeah.
But still, who puts beets in sausages?
What am I supposed to do?
I don't even eat sausages.
I've tried every possibility for a boss
whose face I've never seen,
but he keeps saying it's wrong.
The reason my boyfriend is cheating on me
is because of that bastard.
The son of a bitch
who's obsessed with sausages.
-I think she's lost it.
-Yeah.
THE NEXT DAY
-What is it today?
-What kind of sausage is this?
-It has beets in it.
-Yuck.
Beets? Oh, man…
Jeez. Why do the sausages
always look like this?
Hey, Kim Do-gyeom!
What did you just…
-Is she mad?
-What is wrong with her?
What the hell are you doing?
Killing you with kindness, perhaps?
Well, thank you very much.
Hold on.
I'd like to talk to you
about the boss's meals, Secretary Kim.
I don't have much time.
Let's talk on our way up.
The doors are closing.
Go on. The food will get cold.
I don't know exactly where to start, but--
Let's break up.
Did you not hear me?
I said, let's break up.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.
But I deserve to know why.
Is it because of that woman?
I saw you at the restaurant I had reserved
for us with another woman.
The food there was so good.
Thanks.
It must've been hard
to make a reservation there.
Fine, I admit
that I missed our anniversary
and made you feel lonely
because I was working late.
Even so, how can you cheat--
You think people cheat
because they're lonely?
They cheat when they get bored.
What?
Yeon-seo, you know the employees
don't eat your sausages, right?
People got sick of eating it
after just a few weeks,
but I had to endure it for a year.
What?
This is over. I'm done.
Kim Do-gyeom, you…
The doors are opening.
Thank you for your hard work, Miss Seo.
He's sick of me? I'm boring?
How about this for a little excitement?
How about I take a bite out of you?
Woof, woof.
Again.
My apologies.
I'll make you another.
"Again"?
That bastard sounds just like my boss.
Do it again.
Do it again.
-Again.
-Again.
-Again!
-Again.
-Again.
-Again!
You there.
You, "Again."
Are you calling me?
Yes.
Do I know you?
Does it matter?
I just have something to ask you.
Listen, why don't you just stuff your face
with what people give you?
"Stuff my face"?
The taste from your childhood,
the unforgettable taste of nostalgia.
Why does any of that matter?
Here's the thing.
Do you know I spent months
working overtime,
never seeing my boyfriend,
just so I can make sausages
I don't even like
in search of a flavor I've never tasted?
On top of that,
I saw him with another woman…
If it weren't for the bastard
who's obsessed with sausages,
I could've been a better girlfriend.
And he wouldn't have gotten bored.
So, instead of looking for what you ate
as a child, try some other--
I never get bored.
Whether it's the flavors I love
or the women I fall for,
I don't get bored.
Never.
Won't you regret this?
I don't do this with drunk women.
I don't do this with men
whose names I don't know either.
Let's call it a one-day workshop.
Two hundred thousand won?
You lunatic.
You absolute lunatic.
Have you gone insane
after that son of a bitch hurt you?
But why? Seriously, why?
"To the CEO's office"?
What for? Am I in the doghouse?
Because of sausages?
CEO'S OFFICE
Instead of making the ex-boyfriend
regret dumping me…
He's not in.
SECRETARY KIM DO-GYEOM
Where did he go?
Come in.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo?
Yes, Mr. Kang.
I am Kang Ha-jun.
I am so screwed…
Judging by the look on your face,
I guess you really didn't know.
Well, you wouldn't have spoken to me
that way if you had known.
Not to your boss…
who pays you.
Was it only worth 200,000 won?
Was I?
What do you mean, "200,000 won"?
So you're pretending not to remember?
That's boring.
What did you say?
I said you might get fired for that.
Well, since you're going to fire me,
let me give you a word of advice.
Okay, let's hear it.
Just eat the shit people make for you,
you fussy bastard.
And also, give me back
my freaking 180,000 won.
You want change?
It wasn't worth 200,000 won.
It was 20,000 won at best.
I'm screwed.
So screwed.
All because of this damn sausage.
And because of that damn CEO.
But why is that jerk here?
Am I really getting fired?
I still have installments to pay
for Kim Do-gyeom, that bastard's watch.
From today, Mr. Kang will have breakfast
with the employees.
From today, Mr. Kang will have lunch
with the employees.
From today, Mr. Kang will have dinner--
Are you going to eat all three meals
with the employees?
Yes, will that be a problem?
We don't serve sausages
for dinner, Mr. Kang.
Then I'll stuff my face
with whatever you give me.
It really doesn't matter
if I don't get to eat sausages, right?
Enjoy your meal, Mr. Kang.
It feels different seeing you at work,
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Sorry?
How do you know Yeon-seo…
I mean, Miss Seo?
I took a one-day workshop.
With Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
"One-day workshop"?
Mr. Kim. It seems
I left my phone at my desk.
Yes, sir.
I assume you're trying to make me quit,
but I won't cave.
Before you fire me, I'll make sure
you get sick of the food here.
Did you forget what I said?
I won't get sick of it.
I'm going to make
the exact same meal every time.
I told you,
I never grow bored
of the women I fall for.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Mr. Kang.
You said there was a problem
with the meals?
I think I need to reduce the budget.
It's much too nutritious.
Not a chance.
It was really hard
to stay within the budget.
Then why does this happen?
This is because of the cafeteria food?
Since I started eating at the cafeteria,
this keeps happening at random.
So why else?
Or…
did you put something in my food?
I don't play around with food.
But I do with other things.
OFFICE MATCHMAKING
WEB NOVEL REALTIME
SPICE UP OUR LOVE
Damn, you're leaving me hanging like this?
You naughty girl, are you an author?
Ha-fox is such a heartthrob!
I'll hold my breath
until the end of the story!
Writer, you're so naughty!
I love your story!
"The Best Male Lead award for Cocoapage
goes to Kang Ha-jun!
The award for the Best Writer
goes to Yeon Bo-ra!"
Hui-seong. Why are you
reading the comments all of a sudden?
Miss Yeon Bo-ra.
Spice Up Our Love has many more fans.
You're the best. You know that, right?
Did Hae-yeong tell you…
that I sued one of the haters?
Don't let it get to you.
That loser's probably a total recluse
who never leaves his room.
Don't take any settlements
or allow lenity. You're rich, right?
I am rich.
Want to see?

LETTER OF APOLOGY
BOK GYU-HYUN, OCTOBER 11, 1991
Miss Yeon.
What the hell are you doing?
Did you think
a handwritten letter of apology
would make me forget you told me to die?
I never told you to die.
I didn't have such malicious intent.
"Such malicious intent"?
So your comment wasn't meant
to be murderous, just hurtful?
You want me to feel hurt as you intended
and just get over it?
I don't need a letter of apology.
There'll be no settlement or lenity.
If that's what you want.
Forget settlement or lenity.
But I meant every word…
in the letter.
I sincerely admit my wrongdoing,
and I wanted to apologize sincerely.
"Sincerely"?
What can I do to get you to believe me?
If there's anything I can do,
I'll do it right--
Then die.
What?
I said, die.
That's a bit harsh.
You said that to me over a hundred times.
Your comments made me wonder
if I deserved to die over a hundred times.
Now, it's your turn to wonder
if you deserve to live.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Are you awake? Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Do you see this light? Do you see it?
Now, follow the light
with your eyes if you can.
Aren't you the manager
at that convenience store?
Where am I?
You're at a hospital.
You fainted and lost consciousness.
So I fainted. I'm not dead.
If you had died,
I would've died too
at the hands of CEO Kang Ha-jun.
But why do you keep calling me
"Seo Yeon-seo?"
How do you know Seo Yeon-seo?
Because I am looking
at Miss Seo Yeon-seo right now.
You're looking at Seo Yeon-seo?
Last time, I saw you with Mr. Kang.
You're a fan of Spice Up Our Love.
Thank you, Mr. Manager.
I'm not a manager.
I'm the director of this hospital.
You might still feel dizzy.
Rest here for a while.
Doctor Kim,
give her a thiamine injection and glucose.
Give those to her.
This room looks very expensive.
Don't they have shared rooms?
What's with my hair?
How long was I out?
What month… No, what year is it right now?
My phone.
Whose clothes are these?
Seo Yeon-seo?
Miss Seo Yeon-seo. Are you conscious?
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Because I am looking
at Miss Seo Yeon-seo now.
You saw the anonymous online forum, right?
Yes.
That's her. She did all sorts of things
to seduce CEO Kang Ha-jun.
VIP
SEO SEO
That's why she's in a VIP suite.
Seo Yeon-seo.
I'm Seo Yeon-seo?
This must be a dream.
If I just go home, go to bed, and wake up…
The hater?
What are you doing here?
Director Oh said you needed rest.
Did you bring me to the hospital?
Yes.
I thought… I mean,
I passed out because of you, right?
You could say that.
It happened because of me.
Thank goodness.
I had it all wrong.
You seemed fine,
but I had no idea how stressed you were
until you passed out.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
What…
What did you just say?
My people deleted all those posts
on the online forum.
I'm sorry, Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
I'm… Seo Yeon-seo?
Then… am I really in Spice Up Our Love?
Mr. Kang Ha-jun.
Yes, Director Oh.
What…
What did he just call you?
What's the matter, Miss Seo Yeon-seo?
Whether it's the flavors I love
or the women I fall for…
I never get bored.
Never.
Won't you regret this?
I don't do this with drunk women.
What's wrong, Miss Seo Yeon-seo?
You're really the CEO of GB Electric.
I'm Kang Ha-jun.
KANG HA-JUN, AGE 33
THE MOST HANDSOME MAN
CEO OF GB ELECTRIC
MOTTO: "I NEVER GET BORED"
Miss Seo, it's too early for you
to get discharged. Go back in and--
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
No way.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
Wait for me!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
So the hater is Kang Ha-jun?
SONG JOONG-KI'S COFFEE OF CHOICE
Why is he Song Joong-ki?
What? Cha Eun-woo?
"TRUE MALE BEAUTY"
Why are they all that hater?
SMOOTH SUGAR
That's impossible. Damn it.
How does this make any sense?
Why are they all that hater? Huh?
How can he be my Ha-jun?
How can he be Ha-jun?
Wait. This place…
Transfer passenger.
Why are they getting back on?
What's going on?
What is this?
Transfer passenger.
Transfer passenger.
Sir.
You went from a doctor to a bus driver.
Anyway, why does this bus
only stop in front of the hospital?
This episode takes place here.
"This episode"?
There's a critical scene coming up.
"A critical scene"?
What is that sound?
Huh? This is…
This is from Spice Up Our Love.
Why is this…
HA-JUN LOOKED AT YEON-SEO…
SHE KNEW WHAT HE WAS FEELING…
Stop it! Go away!
I said, stop it!
What's happening?
I have no control over my body.
No, this can't be happening.
Don't let those malicious comments
get to you.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
You're the one who hurt me.
No matter what they say,
I'm the one who fell for you first.
I like you, Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Not everything
on the online forum is a lie.
Wait, this dialogue…
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
They say…
…is from the kiss scene that I wrote.
…"Seo Yeon-seo's body"…
Jeez, Seo Yeon-seo. Shut up.
I said, shut up!
"…drives Mr. Kang crazy."
CRAZY!
Don't do it.
Please don't do it!
No!
No, wait.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
I should be killing that hater,
but a kiss?
This episode takes place here.
There's a critical scene coming up.
So critical scenes will happen,
no matter what.
And I have no control over my body?
Well, those scenes drive the stories
of a mature-content web novel.
But why can't I resist it
even though I'm the writer?
Hold on.
So for the upcoming scene…
Yeon-seo's discharged from the hospital.
Then, at the end…
I'm screwed.
-Did you see Kang Ha-jun's face?
-Didn't you hear?
He fought with his girlfriend.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo, are you in there?
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
The patient is female,
170 cm in height, and weighs--
Director Oh. Her weight?
Is it a bit rude?
Miss Seo Yeon-seo has long, straight hair,
and she is the world's cutest, loveliest--
And most unstable woman.
We must find her quickly.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo,
why do you keep disappearing?
I can't keep you locked up.
Of course you can.
So she stops disappearing.
STRESS
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
-Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
-Stay away!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo, wait!
I said, stay away!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo!
Good God.
No fair, you have a scooter!
I mean, if I am the writer,
am I not the god
that created this universe?
But I can't do anything I want.
I'm no god at all.
I'm going to be stuck in a naked scene!
Miss Seo Yeon-seo, are you listening?
-This is Kang Ha-jun.
-Kang Ha-jun.
Playing hide-and-seek has been fun,
but you need to rest now, so come back.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo in the women's bathroom
on the fourth floor.
How on earth can I get out of this place?
FALLING HAZARD
"You are this world's lead character.
When the lead character dies,
this world ends too."
-Oh, dear.
-Oh, it's… it's dangerous!
-Get down from there!
-Hey!
Don't do it! Come on down!
Excuse me.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo, don't do it!
Director Oh, get an ambulance on standby
and dispatch a helicopter. Now!
Okay.
When the lead character dies,
the story ends.
If I die as Seo Yeon-seo,
I will go back to being Nam Ja-yeon.
Seo Yeon-seo!
You go back to being a hater!
How dare you play my Ha-jun.
I almost died.
Oh, right. I need to die.
Nam Ja-yeon, you can do it.
One.
Two.
Three!
No!
Huh?
What?
Get away!
Get away from me!
No!
No…
Damn you, male lead character.
What a man.
You're the best!
Am I possessed?
I wake up, and I'm the female lead
of my own story.
One, critical scenes will happen
no matter what.
Two, when the music cues the start
of the scene, I can't move.
Three, the lead character never dies.
If I cannot die,
that hater also cannot die
because of plot armor.
Does that mean I must act out
the last scene with that hater?
This is the worst.
The absolute worst.
No!
WITH THE SOUND OF A KNOCK…
TONIGHT… THE FEEL OF OIL…
…AND A SPECIAL DATE NIGHT…
YEON-SEO SMILED IN SATISFACTION…
The story has taken control of me again.
No, I don't want you.
Stay away.
What the hell?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Peep show.
Peep show.
Peep show.
Peep show.
What?
Didn't this episode end
with an oil massage?
I have no memory of it.
I'm fine with avoiding the last scene…
Hold on.
If I don't do the last scene…
doesn't that mean I can't get out of this?
I BECAME THE FEMALE LEAD
OF A NOVEL WHEN I OPENED MY EYES
DISSOCIATIVE AMNESIA
I knew it.
Good morning.
Just so you know, when I write MR stories…
MR: MODERN ROMANCE
Would you like coffee, or…
…they always have a happy ending.
Would you like to go out for breakfast?
If I reach the end of this scene…
If you don't want to go out…
Maybe I can get out of here.
Kang Ha-jun.
Shall we…
do the last scene?
The last scene?
Yeo… Yeo Ha-jun?
What is my first love doing here?
