A Time Called You (2023) s01e09 Episode Script

Wait, what?
You're saying he told you
he was getting back with her?
Shi…
What a slimey prick that man is.
From the moment we met, I knew it.
What should I do, huh?
You want me to beat him up?
Forget about it, okay?
I don't want to waste any more energy
on Do-hyeon right now.
Anyway, um… tell me. How did you two
start dating in the first place?
We first met through the school club
and helped out at a children's home.
Do-hyeon was really good with the kids,
and I took notice.
He reminded me of someone I knew
when I was a little girl.
I had an innocent crush
on a high school boy at the time.
What boy? Who was he?
Mmm, for a while I lived
with my grandmother
for part of my childhood.
There was this teenager
in the neighborhood.
He told off the boys who were pestering me
and would give me
rice-cake skewers to eat.
I'd innocently make my way over
to that place just to see him.
Were the owners his parents then?
Oh, no, he worked part-time
for someone else at the time.
I remember I told him
that my name was Han Jun-hee
and told him not to forget me.
I bet he doesn't remember me, though.
Hey, wait! My name is Han Jun-hee. Huh?
Han Jun-hee!
Don't you forget that, all right?
I can't even really remember
his face anymore, but
I never forgot how nice he was to me.
Seeing Do-hyeon’s caring side, well,
it made me think
of my crush from the past.
So that's why I ended up dating him.
Wait a minute.
So you're saying you only dated
that slimey prick
because he reminded you
of your crush from your childhood?
-Yeah, so what?
-That's a bad reason!
That's why you dated Park Do-hyeon?
I can't believe what I'm hearing.
So that means I helped out Park Do-hyeon?
Ugh, seriously?
Huh?
Hmm.
Nothing. It's all good, Jun-hee.
Come to think of it,
the important thing right now is that
you're broken up with your boyfriend.
No boyfriend, which means
you're completely single.
What's it to you?
That means from this moment on, I can
pursue you to my heart's wish, right?
In your dreams, you wish.
For now, I'm not gonna date anyone.
It could be a while until I date,
forever even.
-Oh, that'd be a disaster.
-Why?
Because that would mean
I'd have to remain single forever.
I won't date any woman
since you're not available,
since you're the only woman I want.
You need to stop joking.
That line won't work on me, okay?
It's not just a line.
Oh, It's getting late
The cake was really good. Thank you.
Jun-hee, wait.
Don't forget your gift.
Thank you so much.
I'll get going.
A TIME CALLED YOU
IN MEMORY OF KWON MIN-JU
-Have you been feeding this cat?
-Mmm.
Say hi to me at school,
and I'll say hi back to you too.
Min-ju.
Min-ju…
JUNG'S SNACK BAR
Hey, Grandma.
Why haven't you shut off
the stove in the front just yet?
Grandma, are you okay?
Grandma!
Grandma, hey! Can you hear me?
In-gyu.
You knew about this, didn't you?
You knew she was sick,
and you didn't say anything.
Why didn't you say anything
to me about it?
Why the hell didn't you warn me
about this, huh?
In-gyu.
Yes, Grandma.
How are you feeling?
Don't get angry with Si-heon, please.
He wanted to tell you, but I was the one
who told him not to say anything.
I did it all because…
because I love you very much.
So don't be angry with Si-heon at all.
He did nothing wrong.
I promise I'm at peace.
It was too late
by the time I found out about it.
There's nothing they can do.
I'm sorry, In-gyu.
I'm only glad I got to see you get out.
It's all right. Oh, In-gyu.
-You on a diet?
-I'll have your pork cutlet.
-Oh, no, you won't.
-Hey, Jun-hee.
-Oh. Hey.
-Hey.
Look, it's Koo Yeon-jun.
-He's so handsome.
-Yeah.
-Why should I?
-Hmm?
-Hey, Na-eun.
-Hmm?
Why do I get the feeling
the girls are looking
at Yeon-jun as some sort of eye candy?
Why do you think, huh?
They're all so into him.
Hmm?
So is Yeon-jun popular here?
Everyone wants to date the guy.
The business majors, the art majors,
everybody wants a chance
to get their foot in the door.
Ah, huh…
So he is super popular.
So that's why he's so confident hitting on
all the girls around campus, then.
Huh? Yeon-jun?
-For real? No way.
-Mm-hmm.
He's not like that.
It's true that Yeon-jun is nice
to all the girls. I give you that.
But listen, okay?
He isn't seeing anyone right now, hmm?
There isn't anybody
that he's all that close to, you know?
Plus, he's not hitting on just anybody.
That's for certain, okay?
That's what I heard.
And that's what's driving the girls crazy.
'Cause he's set boundaries for himself and
won't let anyone come inside, you know?
So that's the way Yeon-jun is?
-Yeah.
-Hmm.
Do You know Ji-yeon?
Hmm. Yeah,
the most popular girl in our class.
Exactly. Well, yesterday,
she walked right over
to Yeon-jun
and confessed her feelings to him.
She confessed?
She's confident
'cause she knows she's attractive.
And guess what his response
back to her was?
So what did he say?
"I… am waiting for my destiny right now."
"And just so you know,
that destiny is not you."
"I am certain about that.
I'm sure it is not you."
-Be quiet. Everyone will hear.
-Can you believe it?
He actually said that.
Are you sure
that's what Yeon-jun said to her?
Uh, yep. Yeon-jun is really
a rare kind of guy. Don't you think?
As soon as he said, "It's not you,"
her face turned completely bright red
and she ran all around campus all upset.
She was so mad.
That's what everyone was saying.
So think again
whether that Yeon-jun is going around
hitting on random girls, okay?
I don't believe it at all.
Mmm.
What? That's because I don't know.
What about the look in my eyes?
Oh?
What are you listening to?
Koo Yeon-jun.
Huh?
I asked you what you're listening to.
Do you want to listen?
Ah.
It's Seo Ji-won.
Mmm. This song is great.
Mmm. Yeah, I really like this one.
But isn't this song quite old though?
Whenever I play this song, uh,
it feels as if I've been transported
back in time to someone I once knew.
To someone you once knew?
Whether it was the first time
that person smiled at me
or even noticed who I was…
or when
that person waved at me from afar,
this song really reminds me a lot of her.
So was she your first love?
Mmm.
It sounds to me that's who it is.
I'm talking about you, Jun-hee.
You're my first love, Jun-hee.
Listen, if you keep talking
like this all the time,
I'll think you're being serious, you know.
I'm just waiting for the moment
when you finally accept
that my feelings for you are real.
If you accept my feelings for you,
just know
I'll always be by your side, Jun-hee.
Oh, uh, um, I… I…
I think I forgot to lock the door
to my house.
Uh, uh, no, no. Yes, I mean, the stove.
I left the stove on.
Ah.
Ah, ah, no, no, no, no, no.
I just went through a break-up.
What am I doing?
I'll focus on my studies. That's right.
Uh-huh.
Hmm.
Oh, now what do I do?
Ah. Mmm.
Yeon-jun.
Hey, Yeon-jun!
-Jun-hee.
-Huh?
What's this?
-Were you waiting for me again?
-Mmm.
I'm fine. You don't need
to wait for me like this, all right?
I'm gonna be here every night regardless,
okay? Just leave it be.
-Mmm.
-Hmm.
Hmm.
-Wait.
-Hmm?
-Are those earrings my birthday gift?
-Huh? Ah. Oh, these?
Well, if I didn't wear them,
they'd just gather dust, you know?
Ah. You're just trying to be polite,
is that it?
Oh, what I meant to say
was that I, uh, um,
I like them, the design.
You know, at this rate,
between studying and your part-time job,
you might get sick.
You're working too hard. Don't you think?
If I really want that scholarship money,
then I have to keep at it.
Last year, when my family
was going through a hard time,
I thought I would have to drop out
of college and start working full time.
I was a bit scared, you know?
That must've been tough for you.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Hey.
Uh, you don't have to behave
so formally around me.
I know that I said I was your elder
and wanted to be treated as such,
but we're the same age, so from now on,
just loosen up around me.
Huh?
Seriously?
Uh-huh.
All right then.
Hey, so no more addressing
you as my elder in public, then?
That's what I said.
Oh, Jun-hee.
Hmm?
Nothing, just enjoying this.
This is great.
Are you seriously gonna keep acting
like that around me from now on?
Yup, I'm free now.
Hey, Koo Yeon-jun!
Han Jun-hee is no longer my elder.
Hey, Koo Yeon-jun.
Where is she?
-Come on. Pick up.
-Hey! Where's Jun-hee?
Oh, hey, Yeon-jun.
I keep calling Jun-hee's phone,
but she won't answer any of my calls.
I don't know what's going on.
Jun-hee is never late. Not even once.
Oh, she did look a bit unwell yesterday.
Gosh, what do I do?
We have a group presentation today.
I'll go see her. Tell me where she lives.
Oh.
Um, hello?
What's wrong? Why weren't you in class?
I'm in front of your house. Open up.
You're outside ?
Yeah.
Okay, just a sec.
Jun-hee?
Jun-hee!
Hey, Jun-hee!
Shit.
Hey, Na-eun, it's Yeon-jun.
Jun-hee's door code?
Do you remember it?
We were talking on the phone,
and I think she fell down.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Jun-hee. Jun-hee, wake up.
What's wrong? Jun-hee!
Jun-hee!
Huh? Hey, Jun-hee. Are you okay?
How are you feeling?
Hmm.
I'll grab the nurse. I'll be right back.
Just stay by my side, Yeon-jun.
I still think that we should've
taken a taxi instead.
-It's a waste of money.
-I would've paid for it, you know.
I don't want you
to waste your money either.
Jeez.
Well, thanks for everything today.
Hmm? How about I walk you
to your front door?
I can go up by myself. Don't worry.
What if you pass out on
your way up there though?
You still look a little pale.
Hey, I'm totally fine now. It's okay.
You go on ahead.
All right then.
Oh, here you go.
Oh.
You're supposed
to take it three times a day.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I'll leave once your safely inside,
okay? So you go first.
If you say so.
I'll go now.
Mmm.
Don't forget the medicine.
By chance, do you know
what day it is today?
Today?
Uh, it's not a holiday, so…
And your birthday passed already.
I don't know. What day is it?
Today is the day we started dating.
Hmm?
Uh, wait a minute.
What did you just say to me?
Huh? Huh?
Are we both a… a couple from now on?
-Mm-hmm.
-You're serious?
This isn't because you've been sick,
right? You're really serious?
-You're not joking, right?
-Hey, sh! Sh!
Uh, hey, Yeon-jun.
Ah, I'm sorry. You're still sick, my bad.
Uh. gently, gently.
Sorry.
Well, I guess I'll go inside now.
Mmm. go inside.
Grandma…
Grandma!
Don't leave me.
You can't leave just yet.
Grandma, please don't.
Grandma, don't leave me.
Do you remember when I
broke that bottle of ginseng?
We were just playing around at the time.
Do you remember that? At your house?
Of course I do.
That bottle was my dad's favorite.
When you broke it,
he had had only a few glasses of it.
After that,
you lied to your dad for me.
You told him you were the one
that broke the bottle that day.
That made him so angry.
Hey, he glared at me like he was
shooting lasers from his eyes.
Back then,
I felt really guilty that I didn't admit
that I was the one who had done it.
I'm sorry
I was too afraid to say anything.
It broke while we were horsing around.
Either one of us
could've done it, you know?
You know what I said to myself
after that happened?
Ah.
"If ever In the future," um…
"if there comes a time when Si-heon
does something really bad, and…
and ends up getting blamed,
I'll always stay by Si-heon's side
until the very end."
"Forever, until the day we die…
I'll always stand by Si-heon."
Hey.
Don't you think
that's a little bit grandiose
for an oath from a school kid?
But, uh,
what made you think of that?
Is everything all right?
Because I think I'll, um,
leave this house very soon, you know.
Hold on. You're moving?
After I'm done sorting everything out,
I'll go to Seoul and find a new job.
I have a cousin that lives there.
He said I could get hired in Seoul.
Oh, I see.
I'll begin a new life out there, Si-heon.
It's what my grandma would've wanted.
So I'm gonna drink
as much as I want tonight.
And tomorrow is a new beginning. Hmm.
Come on. Let's drink.
Ah.
-Hmm. No way.
-It wasn't even them.
-Are you serious?
-Yeah.
Can't hold your liquor?
-Oh, hi, In-gyu!
-Oh, you're here.
-Is it cold out?
-So cold.
-In-gyu, here you go, decorations.
-Mmm.
Oh, the tree's pretty.
-Isn't it? In-gyu, look at this.
-Yeah.
-Ta-da!
-Ah, it's itchy. Hey! Hey!
-Si-heon's scarf.
-I said it's itchy!
-Take it off. Hurry!
-Si-heon's pretty.
-Yeah, you're Miss Korea now.
-Hey, it's really cute.
-Sure is.
-Hey.
-I'm turning them on now.
-Okay.
Oh, wow, look. It's so pretty, right?
-So pretty.
-Perfect.
-Isn't it?
-Yeah.
Mmm.
It's snowing.
-Huh?
-Oh.
-Wow.
-Wow.
It's really pretty.
So beautiful.
Hey, In-gyu.
In-gyu.
Hmm?
Jung In-gyu?
In-gyu
killed himself shortly after
he got out.
At the very spot
where Min-ju had passed away.
Hey, Jung In-gyu.
Jung In-gyu!
In-gyu, wait.
Hey, Jung In-gyu!
In-gyu, wait.
Let's talk about this. In-gyu…
In-gyu!
In-gyu, why?
Why, In-gyu? Why? Huh?
In-gyu!
Gosh, why is your cold not improving yet?
It's always like this when I'm sick.
It's bad for a while.
Ah, I'll get some more water.
Thanks so much.
Mmm. Wear this.
It'll help you stay warm.
I'll be back soon, hmm?
Wow, Yeon-jun.
Your arms are really long, aren't they?
Whoa.
Mmm.
Wow, Yeon-jun. You smell so nice.
I wonder
how it'll smell if I wear it like this.
Mmm.
Mmm.
-Here you go. drink up.
-Ah. Thanks.
-Hey, Jun-hee.
-Yeah?
Do I really smell that good to you?
Oh, huh?
Ah!
Oh, you saw that?
I was wearing it like this
'cause I was just super cold, you know?
And, um, my whole body
was shaking like this.
Why would I be smelling you?
Ah! What if you, uh, catch my cold?
Well, um, I'm fine with that.
Ah…
Are you Nam Si-heon or…
are you Koo Yeon-jun?
Just tell me, please.
Who the hell are you?
Jun-hee…
Yeon-jun, that's too high.
You can't put it there.
Hey, the shelf needs to be lower,
like down here.
-This is the perfect spot for the shelf.
-That's because you're so tall.
-Put it lower. I want it lower.
-Just let me do it.
-Ah! Ah!
-Oh no! Oh no!
-Ah!
-Is it bad? Are you really hurt?
-It's okay. It's nothing.
-Hey!
Uh, Jun-hee.
Huh? Oh, wait a minute.
-Two, three.
-Two, three.
And push it in.
Ah, there we go.
We did it. Now, I'm hungry.
Mmm.
-Is it good?
-Mmm.
I really thought that…
that we'd stay happy forever, Jun-hee.
That is, until that day
came.
Ah, you're here.
That day, when you told me
that you were going to New York,
I realized that I never…
wanted to be apart from you again.
But still, at the end of it all,
we had a massive fight, and you left.
So then, I went to the airport,
to New York.
But before I could get on the plane,
I had a realization.
That no matter
how much I fought with fate,
I couldn't win
against what fate has in store.
That no matter what I tried,
the ending would always be the same.
Everything is predetermined.
Then, um…
So before you had boarded
that plane that day…
are you saying you already knew
what was going to happen to you?
Your flight to New York
leaves at 11:40 a.m. from gate 32.
Nam Si-heon.
Jun-hee once told you
that Koo Yeon-jun will die.
She said that he died in an accident.
You still don't know
how or when he dies, though.
So I'm going to tell you how.
Your flight will go down
and you will die in the crash.
And your body…
or rather,
Koo Yeon-jun's body will really be dead.
Then your soul
will return to your real body
in the year 2002
that's lying in a coma
after the accident we were in.
That's who I am.
So I'm begging you
not to board this flight or you will die.
This ticket
is for the next flight to New York.
If you take this flight,
you'll be with her.
What happens to you if I do that?
If I don't get on this flight,
how will Jun-hee know
how to come back
and meet me in the year 1998?
From the moment I met her as Koo Yeon-jun,
it was only a matter of time before…
that road would bring us both right here.
I have to die for her
to meet me for the first time.
I have to die
for us to fall in love again.
That's always been our destiny, hasn't it?
One of us must die
in order for the other to be with her.
This is the only way to be with Jun-hee.
After that,
everything is just as you know.
Shortly after take-off, the plane crashed.
And I…
PATIENT: NAM SI-HEON (21)
…woke up in my own body
back in 2002.
It was by accident. Like this!
Hey, Min-ju.
Tell me what year it is.
The year is 2007, of course.
Oh, Yeon-jun.
Every minute that I get to spend with you
is what matters most, Jun-hee!
"So when you finally meet her,
grab her and hold her tight."
I really like you.
Si-heon, I killed Min-ju.
That's who I am.
Nam Si-heon, if you take this flight,
you'll be with Jun-hee.
Hurry up, Si-heon.
You better run!
Si-heon!
Si-heon! The doctor's coming.
They said six weeks had passed
since the bus accident.
After that,
a long and painful
rehabilitation awaited me.
I knew it would be difficult.
But it proved to be far worse than that.
Every single day,
I thought about giving up.
But every day,
I was able to endure it because
I always had you on my mind.
It took a little over a year
for me to be able to walk with a cane.
But that's when
the really hard part started.
I was under the same sky
and in the same time as you…
but I couldn't go see you.
I knew where you were and…
at any point in time,
I could've met you. But still, I…
I knew I wasn't supposed to yet.
So as I waited
for the moment when we
would finally be with each other,
I spent my time looking back
on everything that happened.

If I just tried, maybe I could change
what was supposed to happen.
Hey, Jung In-gyu!
In-gyu, wait.
Let's talk about this. In-gyu…
In-gyu!
In-gyu, why?
But It turned out,
I couldn't change anything at all.
So you're saying
our destinies are predetermined,
and it's been decided
from the very start…
and we have no choice
but to follow what's been laid out for us.
That's what I initially thought.
But then,
something unexpected happen.
On the day of the plane crash,
I showed up to the airport
where I met the other me, Koo Yeon-jun.
Nam Si-heon.
And I told my other self
word for word what would happen to him.
So I'm begging you
not to board this flight, or you will die.
This ticket is
for the next flight to New York.
If you take this flight,
you will be with Jun-hee again.
If I decide to board the next plane,
how do you know it won't backfire?
How do you know
that this won't ruin the timeline?
If I don't die on that plane,
then that means Jun-hee won't
time travel back into the past, will she?
If we both change the present right now,
then we will all…
we will all disappear. Isn't that right?
If we disappear,
Jun-hee will never meet us.
Please listen to me.
You're going to die on that flight.
Our destinies are already predetermined.
That's when…
something completely unexpected happened.
Here are the memories
Jun-hee and I have made together.
These belong to you now.
So from now on, you treasure them.
You said earlier
that our fate was predetermined.
You're wrong, actually.
Going on this flight, knowing I will die,
is my decision.
This is my own free will.
I choose this
so that she will stay in our lives.
I have to do this for Jun-hee's sake.
Whatever future has been written for me,
I'm sure
that I will cross paths with her again.
And just know that I'll…
always love her.
I was hoping to give this to her myself.
Take good care of Jun-hee for us.
She needs you.
I wish you both all the happiness.
On the surface,
maybe nothing has changed…
…because the plane still crashed.
And I, as Koo Yeon-jun, died.
However,
having been through all those emotions
and choices as Yeon-jun,
we've acted according to our free will,
and that means that
with the choices that we've made, Jun-hee,
this whole time,
we were in control of our fate.
This was supposed to be for your birthday.
I'm sorry I was a bit late.
Why are you the one apologizing?
I'm the one who should be apologizing.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry I was angry back then.
Please don't feel bad.
I don't want you to feel bad
about that anymore.
We're screwed
for our final exams, aren't we?
