EPISODE 7
He's like a baby.
Good morning. It really is morning now.
If you're up,
wash up and eat your breakfast.
There.
-Ms. Bang, please have a seat.
-Sure.
-Go ahead.
-Thank you for the meal.
No problem.
-Eat up.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
You seem surprised that it tastes good.
It's absolutely delicious.
Dried radish greens are rare.
Still a picky eater, aren't you?
Aren't you Jeong-do's son?
Where is your dad?
Off to bark at his juniors, right?
Hi, what's your name?
I'm Bang Bae-jeong.
I'm Ki Seon-gyeom.
Here to watch the athletes
with your father?
Wait, are you really his son?
I am.
I'm here to choose
which event I'll train in.
That's Jeong-do for you.
So, are you even sure you want to compete?
I am.
You… Let go of me!
-Move it.
-Damn it.
Don't you know that the parents
are already complaining about you?
Because of that temper of yours?
Then should I just stand there
and take it?
That was the least I could do.
Fire me if you want. I don't care.
You and that temper!
Unbelievable!
Why did you beat up that coach then?
You're asking after all these years?
I doubt what everyone is saying is true.
What are people saying exactly?
That the coach
kept making advances at you,
so you beat him to a pulp.
And how is that untrue?
His advances or him bleeding?
You brat.
All I know is that you left
after that incident.
I was forced to leave
the field I loved and trusted.
And now he's the head coach?
I feel bad for the athletes he trains.
Then they should learn
from someone like you.
And teach them what?
-Don't they start training soon?
-What?
Yes. That's right.
Why not join me
for some drinks in the sun that day?
Think of it as a picnic.
I want to know
if Seon-gyeom's doing a good job,
but what would I know?
Right now, all I can do is
trust him whether it's true or not.
But don't you think
the kids deserve better?
That's right. I'm the worst.
I don't have what it takes
to be a good mentor.
And I'm also a bad influence.
Go the other way when you leave.
That'll be faster.
Are you sure about the drinks?
Soju, beer, whiskey--
Nothing beats drinking during the day.
And makgeolli is pork's best friend.
Will you be there?
I don't know. Maybe if I have the time.
I think she'll be there.
I'm done here, so off you go.
My head hurts.
Tell me whenever you feel queasy.
I'd rather you not wait like yesterday
until you…
-Did I barf yesterday?
-How's your head?
Did I bash it somewhere?
Yes.
I only remember you handing me water.
Can you…
like me?
Did I really barf yesterday?
I don't remember cleaning it up.
Don't tell me…
You don't remember.
How disappointing.
Sorry I made you clean up.
Get some sleep.
I'll wake you up once we're there.
Sure.
I'm grateful for what you did
yesterday and today.
Just schedule that training session.
The lie just flew out of me.
She didn't quit on her own accord
but was forced out.
Judging by her anger yesterday,
a lot of people must have come
to ask her the same thing.
People like me?
I bet she's been lonely. A lot, too.
Seon-gyeom!
-E.T.'s friend?
-Are you going on vacation?
-No.
-Where are you going, then?
-I'm headed to the agency.
-To see Ms. Seo?
-I guess…
-Can I come with?
-No.
-I'll give you a ride.
I guess you're right. We'll take your car.
You do know that you have to be registered
for that to work, right?
-I do.
-I see.
I only asked just in case.
We should wait until someone opens it.
-Ms. Seo will be here, right?
-No.
-Why not?
-It's the weekend.
Oh, the weekend.
You're right. I forgot.
Seriously. Is it Sunday?
Guys, it's the weekend.
Lord, I forgot that I had to greet you.
Forgive me for I have sinned
and him…
Are you kidding me right now?
-Is that so upsetting?
-Aren't you here to see Ms. Seo?
You're an athlete signed with her agency.
I'm here to see Director Dong.
I wanted to thank her.
We're here for two very different reasons.
Why did you come here?
You were supposed to be my excuse.
I handed over some money by mistake
and I'm embarrassed to ask for it back.
I thought I'd follow you here
and casually ask for it.
To me, 500,000 won isn't chump change.
-Just tell me from now on.
-What good would that do?
I'll gladly be your excuse
if it's reasonable.
Seon-gyeom!
You sweet man.
Now I want to take advantage of you.
Jeez.
Gosh.
I'm used to it, you see.
Maybe it's because
people like you that much.
-Is that so?
-Of course!
I think so. It is for me, at least.
Ignoring me again?
The second time isn't charming.
-What should I drink today?
-Seon-gyeom was in the neighborhood.
I guess you succeeded.
How did you know?
So I'm right.
I was only guessing out of curiosity.
Why would you be curious about that?
Because I worry about him.
Well, don't.
What is it about him that makes you
so protective of him?
I never said I liked him.
I'll think of it
as me being intuitive, then.
I'd rather you save it.
Why do I find you so funny?
Well, consider me honored.
Take care, then.
Gosh, that's sweet.
It's nice to be drinking something
other than instant coffee for once.
Poor you.
Should I send a coffee truck to your set?
No, it's all right.
That won't be necessary.
Anyway, Ms. Oh,
are you currently working on a project?
No, I'm not working on anything urgent.
Wait. You're making me nervous.
Then I'll cut to the chase.
The youngest punk in our staff ran…
Sorry about that.
-Anyway, he ran away leaving us in a mess.
-My gosh.
Help a girl out, will you?
I came here to beg in person.
You want me on the set?
You were in a college film club
and can translate English.
On top of that,
you know the ins and outs of the movie
and you're currently without a job.
-That's me.
-Don't worry about your pay.
I'll make sure you receive
more than enough.
Just consider this as
a rush translation job and help us out.
The Blu-ray work is done,
so I am jobless at the moment.
I'll consider it a vacation
and gladly help you out.
-Really? Are you sure?
-Yes.
Thank you so much. Thank you!
Just a second.
Just know that this isn't a bribe.
Gone is the Night
will be released in theaters.
-You're invited to the premiere.
-Gosh, congratulations. Finally.
I'll finally see the movie
on the big screen.
-You gave me two tickets.
-Right.
I was wondering
if Ms. Park was busy these days.
I see.
TRANSITION PROCESS FORM
Hey, May.
Oh, hey.
I've brought some
late-night snacks for you.
Just a second.
I only need to send this email.
Sure.
It's finally over.
You've been busy, right?
We barely see each other at home.
The distribution schedule was moved up
and it ate away my lifespan.
-Why are you here again?
-Oh, right.
Since we're both free,
I thought we could go on a trip.
Sounds good.
Why don't we go to a hotel
and book a spa?
Hui-jin is looking for someone
who can speak English.
Someone must have run away.
-She asked if you're busy.
-Me and my fluent English.
And also if you had no intention
of paying back your debt.
It was her who bought--
Okay, I'll go.
-When is it?
-Next week.
She even invited us to the premiere
for Gone is the Night.
I saw it at the film festival though.
I, for one, don't mind reruns.
It's different every time.
Go with him instead.
Now you have a reason to ask him out.
He doesn't like movies though.
How is that even possible?
Tell me about it. Weird, right?
What was that award you won?
-The Silver Crown Cultural Award.
-Oh, right.
What year was it?
It was 2010.
-Right, 2010.
-Of course.
It was back when the award
was first given out.
-Yes, of course.
-That's right.
I enjoyed your most recent game.
-Sure.
-What nice weather we have today.
-This will be a teaching moment.
-You're already quite good.
Damn bastard.
Your day will end with a meeting
regarding the video content industry
as well as the support project
for movies at 3:00 p.m.
Tomorrow, you have breakfast
with the party delegate.
I'll pick you up on time, sir.
Has there been a word from Seomyung Group?
No, sir.
If your son were selected,
they would have called
to set up the blind date.
I guess I'll have to make it natural.
Make what natural, sir?
Don't you know?
It's about time you thought
about our young voters.
Be more active online.
I will, once you cut back on it.
What about my wife?
She'll be busy working on her movie.
But on Thursday,
she'll be at a movie premiere
to show support for a junior actor.
Why did no one tell me?
-About her movie?
-The premiere.
It'd be nice for a couple
to be seen on a date.
I thought you already briefed me.
I did, but another thing came up.
Lee Yeong-hwa texted you.
"Mr. Jeong, please tell her…
I ordered jjajangmyeon
but no chopsticks came."
Is he asking me to buy him chopsticks?
He hates texting you through me.
Chopsticks are important
when eating Chinese.
Is there more?
"Mr. Jeong, please tell her
that she shouldn't share the honey
with you."
Who does he think he is
to order me around?
The honey was confirmed
to be from a verified bee farm
in Gangwon Province.
-Also--
-There's more?
Assemblyman Ki invited you
to a movie premiere with Ms. Yook.
I guess he wants us to be a thing.
Should I add it to your schedule?
Maybe.
I don't get why you're in awe
of your own painting.
Thanks.
You should enjoy this too.
Did she send you honey again?
-I'm not hungover though.
-You will be today.
-Have you eaten?
-Yes, jjajangmyeon.
MR. JEONG, PLEASE TELL HER THA
SHE SHOULDN'T SHARE THE HONEY WITH YOU
What's that?
Are you dating an office worker?
It's for a job,
but I'm to speak through him.
Why should I when the painting's for her?
Isn't it weird?
Hence the cryptic message?
This will frustrate her enough
to want to talk to me directly.
The professor relays his messages
through his TA sometimes, right?
I doubt someone who has
their own personal manager
would speak directly to you.
It's one or the other.
She's either a higher-up or a snob.
But the client's preference
is crucial to my work.
What's with all these comments on my SNS?
Wait, they're all foreigners.
What the hell?
-I'll get going, then.
-Sure.
-Are you off somewhere?
-Yes.
You're supposed to answer where and why.
To my parents' house
to get some extra clothes.
Are you also going somewhere?
Yes, I'm meeting someone.
Okay, then.
Don't you want to know who I'm meeting?
-Who are you meeting?
-Don't forget your car key.
It's in the shop.
It kept making a weird noise.
-Oh, I see.
-Aren't you going to answer my question?
People can be really twisted at times.
Now that you ask,
I don't want to tell you.
Furry Kim? Hey, you came early.
-That's you, right?
-How…
It looks like you're doing better.
I thought I'd be here first.
I came a bit early
because I had to buy something.
Next. We're ready for you.
Let me buy that for you. It's okay.
GRADE 9 CIVIL SERVANT TES
SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Gosh, I wanted to buy you coffee.
You bought me the book.
Thank you. I'll study hard.
Are you studying for a test?
I happened to notice
that it's a test book.
There are a few athletes
who take this route.
This athlete who's retired is
also apparently in Noryangjin right now.
To study for the test?
No, he teaches for the civil service test.
I see.
By the way, does Seon-gyeom
also know that you're Furry Kim?
There's no way he'd know.
He doesn't know anything.
But how did you know?
Me?
I tried to find out who Furry Kim was.
I'm pretty good at
looking things up on the net.
Are you getting ready to be a cop
or something?
The coffee is really nice. Maybe it's
because you bought it for me. Thanks.
You interpreted what I said into English,
and that's how I was able to speak out.
And thanks to your translations,
I found out
that you interpreted what I said
word by word.
Thank you so much.
It was going to go viral anyway.
I just sped things up a bit.
Why? Because of Seon-gyeom?
Because I knew I'd do the most
precise job.
You're so cool.
And also because of Seon-gyeom.
He's a really great guy.
Yes, I'm sure he is.
Did I say something wrong?
No, it's not that.
I have no problem
understanding the stuff you say,
but for some reason,
I sometimes find it harder to understand
what Seon-gyeom says
than to translate a two-hour-long
foreign film.
It makes me want to understand him more
and learn more about him.
I'm already busy making a living.
That's nice and cool.
They agreed to let you back
on the team after six months.
-Just keep that in mind.
-I'm not interested.
Really?
Then marry Chairman Seo's daughter.
So I was right.
Will you marry me off to a family
who'll secure your political career?
-You want to marry me off.
-Just stay married for two years.
No. Is there anything else
you need to say to me?
Are you serious?
-What's your problem?
-I don't have a problem.
The problem is you.
I'm not asking you to win a medal
or to set a new record.
All I want you to do
is keep a low profile.
You can get divorced and retire
after two years.
I'll let you do whatever you want.
It's my life, Father.
You…
Do you know how much my plan
got messed up because of you this year?
You should be sorry.
But what? It's your life?
Your life isn't yours.
Who gave you that life?
Your parents gave birth to you.
Snap out of it.
Do you think this entire family
is some kind of a tool you can use
to your own advantage?
I get that it's why you made this family.
But I really can't take it anymore.
Seon-gyeom.
Why do you think we supported your dream?
It's so we could share it with you.
How can we share it
when you don't even know what it is?
Were you ever even curious to know
what it was?
Winning a medal. Coming in first place.
Wasn't that it?
Stop using me as the means
to fulfill your dream.
Father.
Can't we at least try to remain
as father and son?
Seon-gyeom.
There's a movie premiere.
Your mom will be there too.
You should drop by.
What is his problem?
I'm still the same person
I've always been.
Maybe it's Seon-gyeom that's changed.
Hey, retired athlete.
Did Father summon you too?
Hey, retired athlete's older sister.
Why did Father want to see you?
Because I signed a deal with
Seo Dan-ah's agency instead of his.
I want to go in there with earplugs.
No, don't eat that.
My gosh.
Did you not renew the contract
because of me?
You're too self-conscious.
I didn't care much about the deal.
But I figured if I signed a deal
with Dan-ah instead,
the news would be all over the web.
And that actually happened.
But it wasn't because of you.
I just happen to be more famous than you.
Why would you sacrifice yourself
because of me?
Because you're my brother.
I'll be off now.
Eun-bi, wait. I have a question.
Is Ryan still alive?
-Probably.
-Are you going to the premiere?
Is Mom's movie out?
I heard she just started shooting.
What premiere?
I have no idea. I don't know what it is.
Sir, I'll get off over there.
Why did you follow me?
Mi-joo, what brings you
to this neighborhood?
I was on my way home.
Me too.
You must live here.
I'll walk you home.
You're too easy.
Did you bring some extra clothes?
My father caught me on my way out.
I hope it didn't seem like
you were running away from home.
Did he scold you for leaving home?
He scolded me for retiring.
He thinks it's absurd.
He must be really upset
considering the effort you put in
to become an athlete.
It won't matter if it's okay with you,
but I feel like you might.
I do think back and reminisce
on my career as an athlete.
What do track and field athletes do
after they retire?
If you were an office worker,
it'd be like quitting early
at a really young age.
You guys spend your entire youth
trying to achieve your dreams.
Some become fitness trainers
since athletes have strong basics.
Some start academies for aspiring athletes
or become coaches.
Some even choose
completely different careers,
and some just disappear.
And you?
Have you thought of those options?
I'm not sure.
I'm sure I'll become something one day.
Is there anything you want to do?
I may not know much
because I was never able to use regret
to motivate myself.
But I think you'd be able to do that.
The stuff you regret about your past.
Turn that into something better.
Then what motivated you?
Stuff like fear and obsession.
So do your best
and give me some positive influence.
Stick to the rules. Don't speak English.
Got it.
"I hate going to the dentist."
What's this?
-Why didn't you come?
-I was sleeping.
You don't even follow our members.
Who's this you're following?
What do you mean? I don't follow anyone.
FOLLOWING
LEE YEONG-HWA
LEE YEONG-HWA
I got you.
What? There are no photos of you.
Are you not confident?
What? It's that guy who has no confidence.
Take this.
-Are you going to unfollow him?
-Gosh, this hurts my pride.
Damn it! It's all because of this jerk!
-Watch your language.
-Whatever.
That darn jerk.
Yeong-hwa!
Yes? What's up?
-Do you know Seo Tae-woong?
-How do you know him?
"Seo Tae-woong"?
I'm Seo Tae-woong.
What? That was his actual name?
How do you know him?
Why wouldn't we? He's a star.
How do you know him?
Did you meet him? Are you guys close?
Hey, calm down. What's with you guys?
Are you interrogating me?
Yes, of course.
Seo Tae-woong is following you,
and everyone's going crazy about it.
Look.
1 FOLLOWING
He should take better care of his image.
Are you close with him?
-I'm a second generation Alphabet.
-I'm the first.
Can we get his autograph?
How are you alphabets?
AtoZ is "A to Z,"
so we call ourselves Alphabets.
We know it's corny.
I never said it was.
Wait.
Seo Tae-woong. Seo Dan-ah…
Are they a family?
They don't look alike.
Seo Tae-woong is your family?
-I wish he were.
-A distant cousin?
-I don't want any competition.
-I'm so jealous.
I wish he were my family too.
I'm so jealous of him.
PRESIDENT SEO DAN-AH
CHILAN MOUNTAIN BEEKEEPING
Dan-ah.
-Make it quick. I'm busy.
-You were spacing out.
Exactly. It's my break time.
Who's Lee Yeong-hwa?
Is he a new athlete?
Or are you seeing a college student?
-Who's Lee Yeong-hwa?
-I asked you first.
LEE YEONG-HWA
The kid who paints for me.
How do you know him?
It was all thanks to you.
Didn't you learn that stalking is illegal
when you were abroad?
Maybe not since you lived in a hospital.
It's a pity that it's not
illegal here yet.
He was looking at you funny.
Just like how my fans look at me.
Why ask an amateur to paint
instead of a pro?
Is he a scholar?
He's even younger than me.
By any chance,
do you still want the gallery?
Listen. Don't get the wrong idea.
It's true that I wanted the gallery.
But the reason I hate you isn't because
you ended up getting it. Got that?
You don't even make time for me.
Who is this guy?
Why do you keep meeting him?
Why do you care who paints for me?
It's none of your business.
Happy now? Now leave. I'm busy.
I'm busy too.
LEE YEONG-HWA
Yes?
Coach Bang called.
Is she coming to training? That's great.
She'll change her mind
once she sees the kids.
You're coming too, right?
-You said you wanted to watch.
-Of course.
I need to leave the city for work
next week.
You're busy both with work and helping me.
A producer I know asked me for help.
She said it's urgent.
It'll last ten days,
so I'm packing little by little.
What about your housemate?
I know you're worried,
but she's coming with me too.
You can make yourself at home
while we're gone.
How can I make myself at home
without the owner?
What?
Why did I just feel a sting in my heart?
Did I upset you or something?
I'm going to get some air.
What was that? Hey, wait.
What just happened?
DO NOT LITTER
Why is he sitting there like that?
He makes me want to watch.
Seon-gyeom.
Hey, E.T.'s friend.
That's right.
By the way,
I noticed you're pretty amazing.
I've never met a national athlete before.
On top of that,
your mom is the Queen of Cannes.
I looked you up online.
Why didn't you tell me?
I told you my name, didn't I?
And I'm not a national athlete anymore.
-What about your mom?
-She's still the Queen of Cannes.
If you're the queen's son,
that makes you a prince.
What do you do these days?
Are you looking for a new job?
You seem close to being jobless.
I'm not entirely unemployed.
I think it's just temporary.
You, amazing man.
Why were you just sitting there?
I had nowhere to go.
Why are you outside
if you have nowhere to go?
Because I think it's time to leave.
I wanted to practice.
Do you want one too?
Why the hospitality?
Maybe I want something from you.
Cheers.
MR. JEONG, HOW DOES MS. SEO
KNOW SEO TAE-WOONG?
Seon-gyeom.
How exactly are you acquainted
with Ms. Seo Dan-ah
aside from work?
Our families are acquainted
with each other. That's all.
Your families?
That sounds unfamiliar.
I can't relate.
Being similar doesn't always mean
you can relate.
She picked me and wanted me,
so I guess I thought we were.
I get anxious when people are close to me.
Do you want to drink?
Yes.
I'm drinking right now.
You can't call this drinking.
This is a beverage.
You're quite funny.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
You're adding honey to the beer?
Honey beer. Don't you know?
You see, I have a lot of honey at home.
Here.
Cheers.
Why do you keep coming here
when this isn't even your neighborhood?
I won't be anymore.
What? Starting when?
Around next week.
Why?
I don't want to be alone.
If you don't want to be alone,
does it mean you've been
with someone all along?
Yes.
I see.
You must've been very lonely.
It smelled like home,
and I could hear them in the house.
I really liked that.
Goodness, Ye-jun.
You came to the wrong house drunk again.
You're right.
Who is he?
What?
Oh, he's a friend.
I see.
Bye.
Hey, you said coming home drunk
would make you an ingrate.
I already am.
You can keep being a good son.
I'll clean up and sleep on the floor.
You sleep on the sofa.
No.
I'm leaving.
Sure.
Why did I offer to sleep on the floor
when this is my house?
Hey.
How could a person go in there?
Why not? It's so spacious.
I'm saying he's not in there.
I was going to grab a beer.
-He hasn't texted after leaving?
-No. I sent a few, but he's ignoring me.
Why is he sulking?
Did he break his fingers or something?
Should I file a missing persons report?
You won't be able to
since it hasn't been 24 hours yet.
What if it's too late, then?
It's not.
He's mentally stable and an adult.
You're not worried, are you?
Why should I be?
But I'm worried about you.
Me too.
Could he be crashing someplace else?
Elsewhere?
Damn it.
God, what was that?
Here.
-This is honey.
-Goodness.
-Take them.
-Gosh.
I have too much honey at home.
I have nothing to give you.
Come on, we drank together.
That's enough.
It really is.
This is a problem. Goodness.
Wait.
Here.
Here.
What is this?
You'll be seated next to her.
To Ms. Seo.
They're not broken.
You're even carrying something.
-You slept outside.
-Yes.
After how you acted yesterday,
you spent the night out.
I fell asleep after drinking.
With whom?
You probably wouldn't know anyway.
Right.
I wouldn't know.
Okay.
What's with the honey?
Is he Winnie the Pooh or something?
Ms. Oh, I'm making food for us.
Are you not going to eat?
Are you not…
Ms. Oh.
Can we talk?
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh.
Is something wrong?
No, I don't think so.
Stop knocking.
I'm going to bed.
-Are you sleeping during the day again?
-Yes, I'm planning to.
What is it?
Ms. Bang is coming tomorrow.
When should we leave?
I'll be going, so don't worry.
Just text me our departure time.
Did you two fight?
No, I think I upset her.
But she's not hearing me out.
Perhaps you just lost your chance.
-Are you upset?
-Get out!
Okay.
She's very upset.
More!
What a shame. You did well. You did.
But don't focus on turning your legs.
Imagine you're anchoring your leg
to push yourself forward.
Just think that you're a spring.
You did well.
I think I'm going to fail the competition.
Don't be too focused
on your current record.
You can trip and make a mistake.
You have many chances,
so just don't get injured. Good job.
And Yun-ho.
Your torso isn't following through.
Don't be like that.
Okay. Look here.
Look at this ball.
-It's bouncing.
-Right.
Right? Do this to your body.
Do you understand?
This bounces vertically,
but you should propel forward.
Got it?
I'm really scared because this is
my very first competition.
Give us a minute.
Right, it's terrifying.
While feeling just as terrified,
a runner set a new record
for the junior high 100-meter run.
It was also his first time.
Really? Who was it?
-Kim Woo-sik.
-Kim…
He was the youngest
eligible national athlete.
That just means
you're both capable of doing
the same thing.
We can all do it.
Got that?
"That just means
you're both capable of doing
the same thing."
-Get ready.
-Okay.
-Get ready.
-Did you fight?
No, we didn't.
I guess it was just me again.
I wonder if he even knows the reason.
I'm sure he must have irked you
with his innocent, naive expression.
I'm so happy that you understand.
I'm also here because he irked me.
What an asshole.
Exactly, he's an asshole.
-Mi-joo.
-Yes?
Can you be my drinking buddy?
Of course.
But why all of a sudden?
If you become my friend,
I may come to Seoul more often.
He may be an asshole, but I like you.
I feel the same way.
I like myself more too.
Hey.
Come here. What's with your ankle?
Sit down.
It's swollen.
This won't do.
Rest and put a hot towel on it.
What? Why?
Just listen to me.
And you, come here.
Look at that. Why are your shoes so big?
Because I want to grow up quickly.
Hey, who said wearing oversized shoes
would do that?
Was it you?
Wear something that fits.
Change your shoes.
Yes, ma'am.
Why haven't you told them these things?
You still think like an athlete.
I'm sorry.
You, the ponytail.
-Min-ju.
-Me?
Yes, run over here.
Yes. Since you purposely take
long strides,
you tend to lean back
and can't switch legs quickly.
This time, run with shorter strides.
Go.
By the way, who are you?
Me?
A master in recluse who's just passing by,
if you will.
You reek of alcohol.
This is the smell of a true master.
Run away, guys.
Hey!
Run!
How long will you keep this up?
Demand an apology from me
or be openly angry with me.
Let's talk.
I did talk to you.
And you did as well.
I didn't know you'd stay up
to wait for me.
I read your text in the morning.
Then you should have replied
after you woke up.
You could have done that.
But doing that
wouldn't have changed anything.
If that's your reply,
I have nothing to say.
I wasn't trying to be offensive.
Please don't be on edge.
But you're putting me on edge.
Would it break your fingers
to text me back?
Were you not able to call?
You could have called me instead.
Let's say I called you.
Do you think I have the right to be nosy
about your private life?
"Where and what are you doing?
Are you not coming?" Like this?
Why do you need a right
to ask those questions?
Some people feel more comfortable
when they have that right.
Is there another term than "right"?
I think that word
makes me uncomfortable.
Why would you ask me that?
If you feel uncomfortable,
find one yourself.
The reason why
I didn't even consider texting you
was because I've never lived
with someone else.
You had to consider doing that?
Are you sure it wasn't because
you knew you'd move out one day?
That's not it.
I was worried about you.
I thought it'd help to keep you company.
That's why I invited you in.
Wasn't that the least you could do?
You always put a wall around yourself,
and now this?
I put up a wall?
You easily set foot into our house,
but you put up a wall between us.
I asked who you drank with,
and what? I wouldn't know?
This is so irritating.
Why did you have to make me say that
and feel so small?
Then you shouldn't have climbed
over the wall I had put up.
You act as if you don't have any walls
and climb over mine so easily.
Ms. Oh.
-How will you get home?
-Stop following me.
I'll manage.
There are many cabs and buses.
Ma'am, I have something to tell you.
Is it that kid again?
Does he have nothing to do?
Let's hear it.
He wants to know your relationship
with Seo Tae-woong from AtoZ.
How dare he pry into my personal life?
I'm going home now. You should too.
What is he waiting for?
I don't have time for this.
So? What's your relationship with him?
We got tangled up
due to a crazy, twisted love affair.
-Is that what you want?
-You came all the way here to say that?
I even waited for you.
I told Mr. Jeong to text you
my private number.
Stop annoying my man and text me instead.
-I'll ignore your texts.
-Your man?
You mean that guy
who looks like a gangster?
A gangster? He studied law.
Why is he your man?
I got too upset
and forgot to tell you this.
Stop crossing the line.
-No.
-What?
But you came to see me
because I crossed the line.
I thought you should know
why you came here.
Are you working on the draft?
Here.
Are you kidding me?
Why is it so important?
-I might change it.
-Don't talk back.
You've got so many dos and don'ts.
This is a nice car.
The interior is really amazing.
Close the door.
I should walk since I drove.
-Come here!
-Run!
Go!
Shoot!
This way!
It's from a vending machine.
Don't tell me you've never…
That may be the case for wealthy people.
But I never eat anything
that I don't know the origin of.
You're so unappreciative.
What's your connection with Haengun-dong?
My parents live there.
How did you know I had connections
with Haengun-dong?
I looked into where the honey came from.
Tell your parents… Shoot!
-Over here!
-Well done.
Tell your parents I said thank you.
I'll drink this, so don't throw it away
and have some when you're low on sugar.
I won't. It didn't do anything wrong.
Then did I do something wrong?
-Kick it back, please.
-Sure.
I'll do it. Your hands are full.
-My feet aren't.
-I don't care.
Thank you.
Go deep!
You're good.
I've always been good at kicking.
Do you like soccer?
I was in a soccer club until my dad's son
tattled on me and I had to quit.
My dream was to become a soccer player.
But I realized dreams were just dreams.
It was just a dream,
and I let go of that dream so easily.
I'm just glad to be able to kick a ball
every now and then.
Although I thought
I'd get more chances than this.
Is that why you always wear sneakers?
You never know when the chance will come.
Just like now.
It's really great…
to learn more about you.
Don't ask about my dreams.
I don't have any.
How's that possible?
I'm too busy with my life right now
to dream.
Right. I did find one recently.
My dream is to talk directly to you
about the painting,
not through someone else.
Let me correct myself.
It's my goal, not a dream.
You just said dreams were unattainable.
What kind of goal is that? Don't you have
so much to look forward to?
I guess at my age, people are amazed
to know that I have a goal.
How old are you?
I'm 24.
That's a great age.
It sure is.
Where are you? I'll go in first
if you're running late.
I'll be there soon.
Why am I running late?
Okay, hurry up.
Why is he here?
He must have arrived.
I don't like watching movies
I've already seen so I gave him my ticket.
Have a great time.
You actually came here?
After I blew up at you this morning?
I want to watch a movie and drink.
You like neither of them.
I had lost my chance last time.
What chance?
Do you know
what people call this kind of stuff?
-A date.
-No.
A chance to watch a movie and drink.
A get-together?
I never said I'd drink with you.
Then at least watch the movie.
I'm going to.
-Is this a recon--
-We're not reconciling.
-I see.
-I'm just being polite.
Some may throw away the ticket
since they're upset and it was free.
But this is my chance to watch it
at the theaters,
and it was someone's gift.
I think it's right that I stay.
As for us, we can talk it out
once we figure out
what the problem is.
I can't seem to figure it out myself.
Even if I do,
I don't want to be the one to say it.
Any objections?
There shouldn't be any.
There are none.
Come.
I knew it the moment I saw Tae-ri
for the first time.
You indeed have the gift of foresight.
Right? I do have a keen eye, don't I?
Yes, I totally agree.
-Right.
-Honey.
I'm sorry for being late.
I was buying some flowers.
I see. What are these flowers for?
They reminded me of you.
How fragrant.
Like everyone has said,
you really love each other.
You guys look wonderful.
I still can't get enough of her.
He never ceases to surprise me.
-Shall we have a talk in private?
-Sure.
Excuse us.
-Sure.
-Okay.
Throw these away.
Ji-woo.
How could you come here
without telling me?
Consider it a surprise event.
A surprise event should be favorable.
Are we strangers?
Can't you see how family-oriented I am?
I'm sorry, but may I take a photo?
Okay.
Of course. Stand in the middle.
All right, let's take it.
One, two, three.
-That looks nice.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Goodbye.
-Thank you.
That was my fan, and he was asking me.
Did you hear?
I told Seon-gyeom to keep running,
but he said he'll retire.
What a bastard.
Did he find something interesting?
He even refused to inherit the hotel.
Why would he do that?
He should listen to your father.
Maybe he doesn't have money
for the gift tax.
Look at that punk.
Does that mean he's considering
donating his money?
Gosh, who does he take after
to be so kindhearted?
Is it me?
Why do you keep looking around?
I can't focus.
Where is she?
Who? A mistress?
You're the only one for me.
God, I feel nauseous.
Help me look for her.
The second child of Seomyung Group.
I'm going to have Ms. Seo
marry Seon-gyeom.
So this is your next move.
You want to peak
in both politics and business?
Don't you want to become a first lady?
I have a perfect husband and children.
If I become a first lady on top of that,
God will punish me.
I'm thirsty.
I'll get some coffee.
Gosh, my head.
Oh, my.
Isn't that Ji-woo?
"Ji-woo"? Do you know each other?
Of course I do. Who doesn't?
She probably doesn't know me.
This is insane.
Seon-gyeom.
Are they premiering your movie?
No.
Who's she? Won't you introduce her to me?
-She's your fan.
-I'm your fan.
Hello, I'm Yook Ji-woo.
I know. I really want to act
like a little kid right now.
Honey, here's your coffee.
Ms. Interpreter,
why are you still with my son?
You're his interpreter?
Yes, it was only for a week.
I thought I told you no funny business.
So why are you still following him around?
Thanks to the money you gave,
I've become closer with him.
How dare you come here?
Do you even know why he's here?
It was for me to watch a movie
with Ms. Seo.
And this was your attempt
at a natural encounter.
Do you get it now?
Don't interfere with them
and sit where you belong.
Father.
Stay still.
There are many people here.
Okay.
I'll find my place.
You ought to.
Enjoy the movie.
Aren't you coming?
I'm really good at finding my place.
Especially since I've been here
countless times.
You came to watch a movie with me,
didn't you?
-We should make up.
-Don't you know what this is?
Fate must have brought us together.
Will you marry me?
I'm not joking around.
-What a strange woman.
-Weren't you two on a date?
-Just leave if you know.
-What a cutie.
-Did you save my number?
-Didn't I tell you to stop doing that?
I smile because I'm happy.
Who are you to stop me?
How selfish am I?
I'll be punished for this.
Why does the toilet look so noir-esque?
They won't give me any time to translate.
-Screw working for free.
-That's right.
He'll just keep waiting
unless you ask to see him first.
He'll always be so dense.
Your painting shines even in the darkness.
I wish you'd stop calling me that.
-Then what would I call you, kid?
-"Yeong-hwa."
I didn't say that because I hate you.
So don't hate me for it.

I already do.
EPISODE 7
He's like a baby.
Good morning. It really is morning now.
If you're up,
wash up and eat your breakfast.
There.
-Ms. Bang, please have a seat.
-Sure.
-Go ahead.
-Thank you for the meal.
No problem.
-Eat up.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
You seem surprised that it tastes good.
It's absolutely delicious.
Dried radish greens are rare.
Still a picky eater, aren't you?
Aren't you Jeong-do's son?
Where is your dad?
Off to bark at his juniors, right?
Hi, what's your name?
I'm Bang Bae-jeong.
I'm Ki Seon-gyeom.
Here to watch the athletes
with your father?
Wait, are you really his son?
I am.
I'm here to choose
which event I'll train in.
That's Jeong-do for you.
So, are you even sure you want to compete?
I am.
You… Let go of me!
-Move it.
-Damn it.
Don't you know that the parents
are already complaining about you?
Because of that temper of yours?
Then should I just stand there
and take it?
That was the least I could do.
Fire me if you want. I don't care.
You and that temper!
Unbelievable!
Why did you beat up that coach then?
You're asking after all these years?
I doubt what everyone is saying is true.
What are people saying exactly?
That the coach
kept making advances at you,
so you beat him to a pulp.
And how is that untrue?
His advances or him bleeding?
You brat.
All I know is that you left
after that incident.
I was forced to leave
the field I loved and trusted.
And now he's the head coach?
I feel bad for the athletes he trains.
Then they should learn
from someone like you.
And teach them what?
-Don't they start training soon?
-What?
Yes. That's right.
Why not join me
for some drinks in the sun that day?
Think of it as a picnic.
I want to know
if Seon-gyeom's doing a good job,
but what would I know?
Right now, all I can do is
trust him whether it's true or not.
But don't you think
the kids deserve better?
That's right. I'm the worst.
I don't have what it takes
to be a good mentor.
And I'm also a bad influence.
Go the other way when you leave.
That'll be faster.
Are you sure about the drinks?
Soju, beer, whiskey--
Nothing beats drinking during the day.
And makgeolli is pork's best friend.
Will you be there?
I don't know. Maybe if I have the time.
I think she'll be there.
I'm done here, so off you go.
My head hurts.
Tell me whenever you feel queasy.
I'd rather you not wait like yesterday
until you…
-Did I barf yesterday?
-How's your head?
Did I bash it somewhere?
Yes.
I only remember you handing me water.
Can you…
like me?
Did I really barf yesterday?
I don't remember cleaning it up.
Don't tell me…
You don't remember.
How disappointing.
Sorry I made you clean up.
Get some sleep.
I'll wake you up once we're there.
Sure.
I'm grateful for what you did
yesterday and today.
Just schedule that training session.
The lie just flew out of me.
She didn't quit on her own accord
but was forced out.
Judging by her anger yesterday,
a lot of people must have come
to ask her the same thing.
People like me?
I bet she's been lonely. A lot, too.
Seon-gyeom!
-E.T.'s friend?
-Are you going on vacation?
-No.
-Where are you going, then?
-I'm headed to the agency.
-To see Ms. Seo?
-I guess…
-Can I come with?
-No.
-I'll give you a ride.
I guess you're right. We'll take your car.
You do know that you have to be registered
for that to work, right?
-I do.
-I see.
I only asked just in case.
We should wait until someone opens it.
-Ms. Seo will be here, right?
-No.
-Why not?
-It's the weekend.
Oh, the weekend.
You're right. I forgot.
Seriously. Is it Sunday?
Guys, it's the weekend.
Lord, I forgot that I had to greet you.
Forgive me for I have sinned
and him…
Are you kidding me right now?
-Is that so upsetting?
-Aren't you here to see Ms. Seo?
You're an athlete signed with her agency.
I'm here to see Director Dong.
I wanted to thank her.
We're here for two very different reasons.
Why did you come here?
You were supposed to be my excuse.
I handed over some money by mistake
and I'm embarrassed to ask for it back.
I thought I'd follow you here
and casually ask for it.
To me, 500,000 won isn't chump change.
-Just tell me from now on.
-What good would that do?
I'll gladly be your excuse
if it's reasonable.
Seon-gyeom!
You sweet man.
Now I want to take advantage of you.
Jeez.
Gosh.
I'm used to it, you see.
Maybe it's because
people like you that much.
-Is that so?
-Of course!
I think so. It is for me, at least.
Ignoring me again?
The second time isn't charming.
-What should I drink today?
-Seon-gyeom was in the neighborhood.
I guess you succeeded.
How did you know?
So I'm right.
I was only guessing out of curiosity.
Why would you be curious about that?
Because I worry about him.
Well, don't.
What is it about him that makes you
so protective of him?
I never said I liked him.
I'll think of it
as me being intuitive, then.
I'd rather you save it.
Why do I find you so funny?
Well, consider me honored.
Take care, then.
Gosh, that's sweet.
It's nice to be drinking something
other than instant coffee for once.
Poor you.
Should I send a coffee truck to your set?
No, it's all right.
That won't be necessary.
Anyway, Ms. Oh,
are you currently working on a project?
No, I'm not working on anything urgent.
Wait. You're making me nervous.
Then I'll cut to the chase.
The youngest punk in our staff ran…
Sorry about that.
-Anyway, he ran away leaving us in a mess.
-My gosh.
Help a girl out, will you?
I came here to beg in person.
You want me on the set?
You were in a college film club
and can translate English.
On top of that,
you know the ins and outs of the movie
and you're currently without a job.
-That's me.
-Don't worry about your pay.
I'll make sure you receive
more than enough.
Just consider this as
a rush translation job and help us out.
The Blu-ray work is done,
so I am jobless at the moment.
I'll consider it a vacation
and gladly help you out.
-Really? Are you sure?
-Yes.
Thank you so much. Thank you!
Just a second.
Just know that this isn't a bribe.
Gone is the Night
will be released in theaters.
-You're invited to the premiere.
-Gosh, congratulations. Finally.
I'll finally see the movie
on the big screen.
-You gave me two tickets.
-Right.
I was wondering
if Ms. Park was busy these days.
I see.
TRANSITION PROCESS FORM
Hey, May.
Oh, hey.
I've brought some
late-night snacks for you.
Just a second.
I only need to send this email.
Sure.
It's finally over.
You've been busy, right?
We barely see each other at home.
The distribution schedule was moved up
and it ate away my lifespan.
-Why are you here again?
-Oh, right.
Since we're both free,
I thought we could go on a trip.
Sounds good.
Why don't we go to a hotel
and book a spa?
Hui-jin is looking for someone
who can speak English.
Someone must have run away.
-She asked if you're busy.
-Me and my fluent English.
And also if you had no intention
of paying back your debt.
It was her who bought--
Okay, I'll go.
-When is it?
-Next week.
She even invited us to the premiere
for Gone is the Night.
I saw it at the film festival though.
I, for one, don't mind reruns.
It's different every time.
Go with him instead.
Now you have a reason to ask him out.
He doesn't like movies though.
How is that even possible?
Tell me about it. Weird, right?
What was that award you won?
-The Silver Crown Cultural Award.
-Oh, right.
What year was it?
It was 2010.
-Right, 2010.
-Of course.
It was back when the award
was first given out.
-Yes, of course.
-That's right.
I enjoyed your most recent game.
-Sure.
-What nice weather we have today.
-This will be a teaching moment.
-You're already quite good.
Damn bastard.
Your day will end with a meeting
regarding the video content industry
as well as the support project
for movies at 3:00 p.m.
Tomorrow, you have breakfast
with the party delegate.
I'll pick you up on time, sir.
Has there been a word from Seomyung Group?
No, sir.
If your son were selected,
they would have called
to set up the blind date.
I guess I'll have to make it natural.
Make what natural, sir?
Don't you know?
It's about time you thought
about our young voters.
Be more active online.
I will, once you cut back on it.
What about my wife?
She'll be busy working on her movie.
But on Thursday,
she'll be at a movie premiere
to show support for a junior actor.
Why did no one tell me?
-About her movie?
-The premiere.
It'd be nice for a couple
to be seen on a date.
I thought you already briefed me.
I did, but another thing came up.
Lee Yeong-hwa texted you.
"Mr. Jeong, please tell her…
I ordered jjajangmyeon
but no chopsticks came."
Is he asking me to buy him chopsticks?
He hates texting you through me.
Chopsticks are important
when eating Chinese.
Is there more?
"Mr. Jeong, please tell her
that she shouldn't share the honey
with you."
Who does he think he is
to order me around?
The honey was confirmed
to be from a verified bee farm
in Gangwon Province.
-Also--
-There's more?
Assemblyman Ki invited you
to a movie premiere with Ms. Yook.
I guess he wants us to be a thing.
Should I add it to your schedule?
Maybe.
I don't get why you're in awe
of your own painting.
Thanks.
You should enjoy this too.
Did she send you honey again?
-I'm not hungover though.
-You will be today.
-Have you eaten?
-Yes, jjajangmyeon.
MR. JEONG, PLEASE TELL HER THA
SHE SHOULDN'T SHARE THE HONEY WITH YOU
What's that?
Are you dating an office worker?
It's for a job,
but I'm to speak through him.
Why should I when the painting's for her?
Isn't it weird?
Hence the cryptic message?
This will frustrate her enough
to want to talk to me directly.
The professor relays his messages
through his TA sometimes, right?
I doubt someone who has
their own personal manager
would speak directly to you.
It's one or the other.
She's either a higher-up or a snob.
But the client's preference
is crucial to my work.
What's with all these comments on my SNS?
Wait, they're all foreigners.
What the hell?
-I'll get going, then.
-Sure.
-Are you off somewhere?
-Yes.
You're supposed to answer where and why.
To my parents' house
to get some extra clothes.
Are you also going somewhere?
Yes, I'm meeting someone.
Okay, then.
Don't you want to know who I'm meeting?
-Who are you meeting?
-Don't forget your car key.
It's in the shop.
It kept making a weird noise.
-Oh, I see.
-Aren't you going to answer my question?
People can be really twisted at times.
Now that you ask,
I don't want to tell you.
Furry Kim? Hey, you came early.
-That's you, right?
-How…
It looks like you're doing better.
I thought I'd be here first.
I came a bit early
because I had to buy something.
Next. We're ready for you.
Let me buy that for you. It's okay.
GRADE 9 CIVIL SERVANT TES
SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Gosh, I wanted to buy you coffee.
You bought me the book.
Thank you. I'll study hard.
Are you studying for a test?
I happened to notice
that it's a test book.
There are a few athletes
who take this route.
This athlete who's retired is
also apparently in Noryangjin right now.
To study for the test?
No, he teaches for the civil service test.
I see.
By the way, does Seon-gyeom
also know that you're Furry Kim?
There's no way he'd know.
He doesn't know anything.
But how did you know?
Me?
I tried to find out who Furry Kim was.
I'm pretty good at
looking things up on the net.
Are you getting ready to be a cop
or something?
The coffee is really nice. Maybe it's
because you bought it for me. Thanks.
You interpreted what I said into English,
and that's how I was able to speak out.
And thanks to your translations,
I found out
that you interpreted what I said
word by word.
Thank you so much.
It was going to go viral anyway.
I just sped things up a bit.
Why? Because of Seon-gyeom?
Because I knew I'd do the most
precise job.
You're so cool.
And also because of Seon-gyeom.
He's a really great guy.
Yes, I'm sure he is.
Did I say something wrong?
No, it's not that.
I have no problem
understanding the stuff you say,
but for some reason,
I sometimes find it harder to understand
what Seon-gyeom says
than to translate a two-hour-long
foreign film.
It makes me want to understand him more
and learn more about him.
I'm already busy making a living.
That's nice and cool.
They agreed to let you back
on the team after six months.
-Just keep that in mind.
-I'm not interested.
Really?
Then marry Chairman Seo's daughter.
So I was right.
Will you marry me off to a family
who'll secure your political career?
-You want to marry me off.
-Just stay married for two years.
No. Is there anything else
you need to say to me?
Are you serious?
-What's your problem?
-I don't have a problem.
The problem is you.
I'm not asking you to win a medal
or to set a new record.
All I want you to do
is keep a low profile.
You can get divorced and retire
after two years.
I'll let you do whatever you want.
It's my life, Father.
You…
Do you know how much my plan
got messed up because of you this year?
You should be sorry.
But what? It's your life?
Your life isn't yours.
Who gave you that life?
Your parents gave birth to you.
Snap out of it.
Do you think this entire family
is some kind of a tool you can use
to your own advantage?
I get that it's why you made this family.
But I really can't take it anymore.
Seon-gyeom.
Why do you think we supported your dream?
It's so we could share it with you.
How can we share it
when you don't even know what it is?
Were you ever even curious to know
what it was?
Winning a medal. Coming in first place.
Wasn't that it?
Stop using me as the means
to fulfill your dream.
Father.
Can't we at least try to remain
as father and son?
Seon-gyeom.
There's a movie premiere.
Your mom will be there too.
You should drop by.
What is his problem?
I'm still the same person
I've always been.
Maybe it's Seon-gyeom that's changed.
Hey, retired athlete.
Did Father summon you too?
Hey, retired athlete's older sister.
Why did Father want to see you?
Because I signed a deal with
Seo Dan-ah's agency instead of his.
I want to go in there with earplugs.
No, don't eat that.
My gosh.
Did you not renew the contract
because of me?
You're too self-conscious.
I didn't care much about the deal.
But I figured if I signed a deal
with Dan-ah instead,
the news would be all over the web.
And that actually happened.
But it wasn't because of you.
I just happen to be more famous than you.
Why would you sacrifice yourself
because of me?
Because you're my brother.
I'll be off now.
Eun-bi, wait. I have a question.
Is Ryan still alive?
-Probably.
-Are you going to the premiere?
Is Mom's movie out?
I heard she just started shooting.
What premiere?
I have no idea. I don't know what it is.
Sir, I'll get off over there.
Why did you follow me?
Mi-joo, what brings you
to this neighborhood?
I was on my way home.
Me too.
You must live here.
I'll walk you home.
You're too easy.
Did you bring some extra clothes?
My father caught me on my way out.
I hope it didn't seem like
you were running away from home.
Did he scold you for leaving home?
He scolded me for retiring.
He thinks it's absurd.
He must be really upset
considering the effort you put in
to become an athlete.
It won't matter if it's okay with you,
but I feel like you might.
I do think back and reminisce
on my career as an athlete.
What do track and field athletes do
after they retire?
If you were an office worker,
it'd be like quitting early
at a really young age.
You guys spend your entire youth
trying to achieve your dreams.
Some become fitness trainers
since athletes have strong basics.
Some start academies for aspiring athletes
or become coaches.
Some even choose
completely different careers,
and some just disappear.
And you?
Have you thought of those options?
I'm not sure.
I'm sure I'll become something one day.
Is there anything you want to do?
I may not know much
because I was never able to use regret
to motivate myself.
But I think you'd be able to do that.
The stuff you regret about your past.
Turn that into something better.
Then what motivated you?
Stuff like fear and obsession.
So do your best
and give me some positive influence.
Stick to the rules. Don't speak English.
Got it.
"I hate going to the dentist."
What's this?
-Why didn't you come?
-I was sleeping.
You don't even follow our members.
Who's this you're following?
What do you mean? I don't follow anyone.

I got you.
What? There are no photos of you.
Are you not confident?
What? It's that guy who has no confidence.
Take this.
-Are you going to unfollow him?
-Gosh, this hurts my pride.
Damn it! It's all because of this jerk!
-Watch your language.
-Whatever.
That darn jerk.
Yeong-hwa!
Yes? What's up?
-Do you know Seo Tae-woong?
-How do you know him?
"Seo Tae-woong"?
I'm Seo Tae-woong.
What? That was his actual name?
How do you know him?
Why wouldn't we? He's a star.
How do you know him?
Did you meet him? Are you guys close?
Hey, calm down. What's with you guys?
Are you interrogating me?
Yes, of course.
Seo Tae-woong is following you,
and everyone's going crazy about it.
Look.
1 FOLLOWING
He should take better care of his image.
Are you close with him?
-I'm a second generation Alphabet.
-I'm the first.
Can we get his autograph?
How are you alphabets?
AtoZ is "A to Z,"
so we call ourselves Alphabets.
We know it's corny.
I never said it was.
Wait.
Seo Tae-woong. Seo Dan-ah…
Are they a family?
They don't look alike.
Seo Tae-woong is your family?
-I wish he were.
-A distant cousin?
-I don't want any competition.
-I'm so jealous.
I wish he were my family too.
I'm so jealous of him.
PRESIDENT SEO DAN-AH
CHILAN MOUNTAIN BEEKEEPING
Dan-ah.
-Make it quick. I'm busy.
-You were spacing out.
Exactly. It's my break time.
Who's Lee Yeong-hwa?
Is he a new athlete?
Or are you seeing a college student?
-Who's Lee Yeong-hwa?
-I asked you first.
LEE YEONG-HWA
The kid who paints for me.
How do you know him?
It was all thanks to you.
Didn't you learn that stalking is illegal
when you were abroad?
Maybe not since you lived in a hospital.
It's a pity that it's not
illegal here yet.
He was looking at you funny.
Just like how my fans look at me.
Why ask an amateur to paint
instead of a pro?
Is he a scholar?
He's even younger than me.
By any chance,
do you still want the gallery?
Listen. Don't get the wrong idea.
It's true that I wanted the gallery.
But the reason I hate you isn't because
you ended up getting it. Got that?
You don't even make time for me.
Who is this guy?
Why do you keep meeting him?
Why do you care who paints for me?
It's none of your business.
Happy now? Now leave. I'm busy.
I'm busy too.
LEE YEONG-HWA
Yes?
Coach Bang called.
Is she coming to training? That's great.
She'll change her mind
once she sees the kids.
You're coming too, right?
-You said you wanted to watch.
-Of course.
I need to leave the city for work
next week.
You're busy both with work and helping me.
A producer I know asked me for help.
She said it's urgent.
It'll last ten days,
so I'm packing little by little.
What about your housemate?
I know you're worried,
but she's coming with me too.
You can make yourself at home
while we're gone.
How can I make myself at home
without the owner?
What?
Why did I just feel a sting in my heart?
Did I upset you or something?
I'm going to get some air.
What was that? Hey, wait.
What just happened?
DO NOT LITTER
Why is he sitting there like that?
He makes me want to watch.
Seon-gyeom.
Hey, E.T.'s friend.
That's right.
By the way,
I noticed you're pretty amazing.
I've never met a national athlete before.
On top of that,
your mom is the Queen of Cannes.
I looked you up online.
Why didn't you tell me?
I told you my name, didn't I?
And I'm not a national athlete anymore.
-What about your mom?
-She's still the Queen of Cannes.
If you're the queen's son,
that makes you a prince.
What do you do these days?
Are you looking for a new job?
You seem close to being jobless.
I'm not entirely unemployed.
I think it's just temporary.
You, amazing man.
Why were you just sitting there?
I had nowhere to go.
Why are you outside
if you have nowhere to go?
Because I think it's time to leave.
I wanted to practice.
Do you want one too?
Why the hospitality?
Maybe I want something from you.
Cheers.
MR. JEONG, HOW DOES MS. SEO
KNOW SEO TAE-WOONG?
Seon-gyeom.
How exactly are you acquainted
with Ms. Seo Dan-ah
aside from work?
Our families are acquainted
with each other. That's all.
Your families?
That sounds unfamiliar.
I can't relate.
Being similar doesn't always mean
you can relate.
She picked me and wanted me,
so I guess I thought we were.
I get anxious when people are close to me.
Do you want to drink?
Yes.
I'm drinking right now.
You can't call this drinking.
This is a beverage.
You're quite funny.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
You're adding honey to the beer?
Honey beer. Don't you know?
You see, I have a lot of honey at home.
Here.
Cheers.
Why do you keep coming here
when this isn't even your neighborhood?
I won't be anymore.
What? Starting when?
Around next week.
Why?
I don't want to be alone.
If you don't want to be alone,
does it mean you've been
with someone all along?
Yes.
I see.
You must've been very lonely.
It smelled like home,
and I could hear them in the house.
I really liked that.
Goodness, Ye-jun.
You came to the wrong house drunk again.
You're right.
Who is he?
What?
Oh, he's a friend.
I see.
Bye.
Hey, you said coming home drunk
would make you an ingrate.
I already am.
You can keep being a good son.
I'll clean up and sleep on the floor.
You sleep on the sofa.
No.
I'm leaving.
Sure.
Why did I offer to sleep on the floor
when this is my house?
Hey.
How could a person go in there?
Why not? It's so spacious.
I'm saying he's not in there.
I was going to grab a beer.
-He hasn't texted after leaving?
-No. I sent a few, but he's ignoring me.
Why is he sulking?
Did he break his fingers or something?
Should I file a missing persons report?
You won't be able to
since it hasn't been 24 hours yet.
What if it's too late, then?
It's not.
He's mentally stable and an adult.
You're not worried, are you?
Why should I be?
But I'm worried about you.
Me too.
Could he be crashing someplace else?
Elsewhere?
Damn it.
God, what was that?
Here.
-This is honey.
-Goodness.
-Take them.
-Gosh.
I have too much honey at home.
I have nothing to give you.
Come on, we drank together.
That's enough.
It really is.
This is a problem. Goodness.
Wait.
Here.
Here.
What is this?
You'll be seated next to her.
To Ms. Seo.
They're not broken.
You're even carrying something.
-You slept outside.
-Yes.
After how you acted yesterday,
you spent the night out.
I fell asleep after drinking.
With whom?
You probably wouldn't know anyway.
Right.
I wouldn't know.
Okay.
What's with the honey?
Is he Winnie the Pooh or something?
Ms. Oh, I'm making food for us.
Are you not going to eat?
Are you not…
Ms. Oh.
Can we talk?
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh.
Is something wrong?
No, I don't think so.
Stop knocking.
I'm going to bed.
-Are you sleeping during the day again?
-Yes, I'm planning to.
What is it?
Ms. Bang is coming tomorrow.
When should we leave?
I'll be going, so don't worry.
Just text me our departure time.
Did you two fight?
No, I think I upset her.
But she's not hearing me out.
Perhaps you just lost your chance.
-Are you upset?
-Get out!
Okay.
She's very upset.
More!
What a shame. You did well. You did.
But don't focus on turning your legs.
Imagine you're anchoring your leg
to push yourself forward.
Just think that you're a spring.
You did well.
I think I'm going to fail the competition.
Don't be too focused
on your current record.
You can trip and make a mistake.
You have many chances,
so just don't get injured. Good job.
And Yun-ho.
Your torso isn't following through.
Don't be like that.
Okay. Look here.
Look at this ball.
-It's bouncing.
-Right.
Right? Do this to your body.
Do you understand?
This bounces vertically,
but you should propel forward.
Got it?
I'm really scared because this is
my very first competition.
Give us a minute.
Right, it's terrifying.
While feeling just as terrified,
a runner set a new record
for the junior high 100-meter run.
It was also his first time.
Really? Who was it?
-Kim Woo-sik.
-Kim…
He was the youngest
eligible national athlete.
That just means
you're both capable of doing
the same thing.
We can all do it.
Got that?
"That just means
you're both capable of doing
the same thing."
-Get ready.
-Okay.
-Get ready.
-Did you fight?
No, we didn't.
I guess it was just me again.
I wonder if he even knows the reason.
I'm sure he must have irked you
with his innocent, naive expression.
I'm so happy that you understand.
I'm also here because he irked me.
What an asshole.
Exactly, he's an asshole.
-Mi-joo.
-Yes?
Can you be my drinking buddy?
Of course.
But why all of a sudden?
If you become my friend,
I may come to Seoul more often.
He may be an asshole, but I like you.
I feel the same way.
I like myself more too.
Hey.
Come here. What's with your ankle?
Sit down.
It's swollen.
This won't do.
Rest and put a hot towel on it.
What? Why?
Just listen to me.
And you, come here.
Look at that. Why are your shoes so big?
Because I want to grow up quickly.
Hey, who said wearing oversized shoes
would do that?
Was it you?
Wear something that fits.
Change your shoes.
Yes, ma'am.
Why haven't you told them these things?
You still think like an athlete.
I'm sorry.
You, the ponytail.
-Min-ju.
-Me?
Yes, run over here.
Yes. Since you purposely take
long strides,
you tend to lean back
and can't switch legs quickly.
This time, run with shorter strides.
Go.
By the way, who are you?
Me?
A master in recluse who's just passing by,
if you will.
You reek of alcohol.
This is the smell of a true master.
Run away, guys.
Hey!
Run!
How long will you keep this up?
Demand an apology from me
or be openly angry with me.
Let's talk.
I did talk to you.
And you did as well.
I didn't know you'd stay up
to wait for me.
I read your text in the morning.
Then you should have replied
after you woke up.
You could have done that.
But doing that
wouldn't have changed anything.
If that's your reply,
I have nothing to say.
I wasn't trying to be offensive.
Please don't be on edge.
But you're putting me on edge.
Would it break your fingers
to text me back?
Were you not able to call?
You could have called me instead.
Let's say I called you.
Do you think I have the right to be nosy
about your private life?
"Where and what are you doing?
Are you not coming?" Like this?
Why do you need a right
to ask those questions?
Some people feel more comfortable
when they have that right.
Is there another term than "right"?
I think that word
makes me uncomfortable.
Why would you ask me that?
If you feel uncomfortable,
find one yourself.
The reason why
I didn't even consider texting you
was because I've never lived
with someone else.
You had to consider doing that?
Are you sure it wasn't because
you knew you'd move out one day?
That's not it.
I was worried about you.
I thought it'd help to keep you company.
That's why I invited you in.
Wasn't that the least you could do?
You always put a wall around yourself,
and now this?
I put up a wall?
You easily set foot into our house,
but you put up a wall between us.
I asked who you drank with,
and what? I wouldn't know?
This is so irritating.
Why did you have to make me say that
and feel so small?
Then you shouldn't have climbed
over the wall I had put up.
You act as if you don't have any walls
and climb over mine so easily.
Ms. Oh.
-How will you get home?
-Stop following me.
I'll manage.
There are many cabs and buses.
Ma'am, I have something to tell you.
Is it that kid again?
Does he have nothing to do?
Let's hear it.
He wants to know your relationship
with Seo Tae-woong from AtoZ.
How dare he pry into my personal life?
I'm going home now. You should too.
What is he waiting for?
I don't have time for this.
So? What's your relationship with him?
We got tangled up
due to a crazy, twisted love affair.
-Is that what you want?
-You came all the way here to say that?
I even waited for you.
I told Mr. Jeong to text you
my private number.
Stop annoying my man and text me instead.
-I'll ignore your texts.
-Your man?
You mean that guy
who looks like a gangster?
A gangster? He studied law.
Why is he your man?
I got too upset
and forgot to tell you this.
Stop crossing the line.
-No.
-What?
But you came to see me
because I crossed the line.
I thought you should know
why you came here.
Are you working on the draft?
Here.
Are you kidding me?
Why is it so important?
-I might change it.
-Don't talk back.
You've got so many dos and don'ts.
This is a nice car.
The interior is really amazing.
Close the door.
I should walk since I drove.
-Come here!
-Run!
Go!
Shoot!
This way!
It's from a vending machine.
Don't tell me you've never…
That may be the case for wealthy people.
But I never eat anything
that I don't know the origin of.
You're so unappreciative.
What's your connection with Haengun-dong?
My parents live there.
How did you know I had connections
with Haengun-dong?
I looked into where the honey came from.
Tell your parents… Shoot!
-Over here!
-Well done.
Tell your parents I said thank you.
I'll drink this, so don't throw it away
and have some when you're low on sugar.
I won't. It didn't do anything wrong.
Then did I do something wrong?
-Kick it back, please.
-Sure.
I'll do it. Your hands are full.
-My feet aren't.
-I don't care.
Thank you.
Go deep!
You're good.
I've always been good at kicking.
Do you like soccer?
I was in a soccer club until my dad's son
tattled on me and I had to quit.
My dream was to become a soccer player.
But I realized dreams were just dreams.
It was just a dream,
and I let go of that dream so easily.
I'm just glad to be able to kick a ball
every now and then.
Although I thought
I'd get more chances than this.
Is that why you always wear sneakers?
You never know when the chance will come.
Just like now.
It's really great…
to learn more about you.
Don't ask about my dreams.
I don't have any.
How's that possible?
I'm too busy with my life right now
to dream.
Right. I did find one recently.
My dream is to talk directly to you
about the painting,
not through someone else.
Let me correct myself.
It's my goal, not a dream.
You just said dreams were unattainable.
What kind of goal is that? Don't you have
so much to look forward to?
I guess at my age, people are amazed
to know that I have a goal.
How old are you?
I'm 24.
That's a great age.
It sure is.
Where are you? I'll go in first
if you're running late.
I'll be there soon.
Why am I running late?
Okay, hurry up.
Why is he here?
He must have arrived.
I don't like watching movies
I've already seen so I gave him my ticket.
Have a great time.
You actually came here?
After I blew up at you this morning?
I want to watch a movie and drink.
You like neither of them.
I had lost my chance last time.
What chance?
Do you know
what people call this kind of stuff?
-A date.
-No.
A chance to watch a movie and drink.
A get-together?
I never said I'd drink with you.
Then at least watch the movie.
I'm going to.
-Is this a recon--
-We're not reconciling.
-I see.
-I'm just being polite.
Some may throw away the ticket
since they're upset and it was free.
But this is my chance to watch it
at the theaters,
and it was someone's gift.
I think it's right that I stay.
As for us, we can talk it out
once we figure out
what the problem is.
I can't seem to figure it out myself.
Even if I do,
I don't want to be the one to say it.
Any objections?
There shouldn't be any.
There are none.
Come.
I knew it the moment I saw Tae-ri
for the first time.
You indeed have the gift of foresight.
Right? I do have a keen eye, don't I?
Yes, I totally agree.
-Right.
-Honey.
I'm sorry for being late.
I was buying some flowers.
I see. What are these flowers for?
They reminded me of you.
How fragrant.
Like everyone has said,
you really love each other.
You guys look wonderful.
I still can't get enough of her.
He never ceases to surprise me.
-Shall we have a talk in private?
-Sure.
Excuse us.
-Sure.
-Okay.
Throw these away.
Ji-woo.
How could you come here
without telling me?
Consider it a surprise event.
A surprise event should be favorable.
Are we strangers?
Can't you see how family-oriented I am?
I'm sorry, but may I take a photo?
Okay.
Of course. Stand in the middle.
All right, let's take it.
One, two, three.
-That looks nice.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Goodbye.
-Thank you.
That was my fan, and he was asking me.
Did you hear?
I told Seon-gyeom to keep running,
but he said he'll retire.
What a bastard.
Did he find something interesting?
He even refused to inherit the hotel.
Why would he do that?
He should listen to your father.
Maybe he doesn't have money
for the gift tax.
Look at that punk.
Does that mean he's considering
donating his money?
Gosh, who does he take after
to be so kindhearted?
Is it me?
Why do you keep looking around?
I can't focus.
Where is she?
Who? A mistress?
You're the only one for me.
God, I feel nauseous.
Help me look for her.
The second child of Seomyung Group.
I'm going to have Ms. Seo
marry Seon-gyeom.
So this is your next move.
You want to peak
in both politics and business?
Don't you want to become a first lady?
I have a perfect husband and children.
If I become a first lady on top of that,
God will punish me.
I'm thirsty.
I'll get some coffee.
Gosh, my head.
Oh, my.
Isn't that Ji-woo?
"Ji-woo"? Do you know each other?
Of course I do. Who doesn't?
She probably doesn't know me.
This is insane.
Seon-gyeom.
Are they premiering your movie?
No.
Who's she? Won't you introduce her to me?
-She's your fan.
-I'm your fan.
Hello, I'm Yook Ji-woo.
I know. I really want to act
like a little kid right now.
Honey, here's your coffee.
Ms. Interpreter,
why are you still with my son?
You're his interpreter?
Yes, it was only for a week.
I thought I told you no funny business.
So why are you still following him around?
Thanks to the money you gave,
I've become closer with him.
How dare you come here?
Do you even know why he's here?
It was for me to watch a movie
with Ms. Seo.
And this was your attempt
at a natural encounter.
Do you get it now?
Don't interfere with them
and sit where you belong.
Father.
Stay still.
There are many people here.
Okay.
I'll find my place.
You ought to.
Enjoy the movie.
Aren't you coming?
I'm really good at finding my place.

-Don't you know what this is?

-Then what would I call you, kid?
-"Yeong-hwa."
I didn't say that because I hate you.
So don't hate me for it.
