Love to Hate You (2023) s01e09 Episode Script
You Made Me Who I Am
1
LOVE TO HATE YOU
Wait.
What?
I think this is too much.
What, having sex on day one?
No, having sex without even saying
so much as "I like you."
We said it earlier!
The one that comes after.
I love you.
You've never said it?
-No.
-Not even once?
-No.
-It's okay.
You can say it later.
I'm always taking the lead with you.
Do I need to say it out loud?
You're such a dude.
This sealed the deal for me.
I fell for you
because you weren't like other women.
The women I knew were all manipulative,
selfish, and calculating.
But you were act-now-think-later,
foolish, and foolhardy.
"Foolhardy"?
Courageous.
Frankly, I liked you even before that.
Then when was it?
When you threw the boomerang?
It's true that men are attracted
to unfamiliar women.
You were so unfamiliar.
You drove like a maniac.
You got beat up on your birthday.
And you risked your life
to save a stranger.
There are no strangers when saving lives.
Right. You're a hero who saves any life.
Wait, no.
A heroine, since you're a woman.
You can see I mean it, right?
How'd you come up with an answer
that even I couldn't have imagined?
It was amazing.
"Know your enemy and know yourself."
I'm not telling you to win against Mi-ran.
I just think it would be good for you
to know about her mom's book.
Mi-ran's father is extremely patriarchal,
and Mi-ran's mother suffered
a great deal of unfairness as a woman.
It's a huge plus
that my mom likes you, honey.
-And I don't care what my dad thinks.
-"Honey"?
-Yeah.
-Good. That was very natural.
EPISODE 9
YOU MADE ME WHO I AM
I think I'm going to cry.
What do I do?
It's all right. You're gonna be great.
Once the camera starts rolling,
you'll turn into movie star Oh Se-na.
I should've shot this before I saw them.
The image of him grabbing
that woman's hand and heading to his room,
I keep thinking about it.
This is driving me crazy too!
All right, then…
How about you use this emotion
and carry that right into the scene?
You know that this scene requires you
to portray a bit of sadness.
Just cry.
This will be your last kiss with Kang-ho.
The last kiss with a man
that you can never have.
Are you sure? I can't have him back?
I don't think
Mi-ran likes Kang-ho that much.
You're wrong.
They are both certain.
You wouldn't tell me the account number,
so I brought it.
No.
You really don't have to return it.
How will I keep seeing him
if I take this money?
I was told not to use a single dime
because you never know what will happen.
Na-eun told me.
Hey.
Are you out of your mind?
You shouldn't forget that
no matter how distracted you are!
Kang-ho, Hyeok-su is on standby.
Oh, yes. Got it.
I'll say that you suddenly fell ill,
so pretend you're fainting.
Come on, drop down.
-No. I'm going to do it.
-Do what?
The kissing scene, that's what.
Huh?
I think I can do it.
Thank you.
So you did take the medicine.
Why did you scare me like that?
I really didn't.
-Really?
-Yeah.
But it worked.
Oh, why do you ask something like that?
Of course, I know you're dating
none other than Nam Kang-ho.
But you've never fallen for a guy before.
So I'm curious
about what made you fall for him.
Was it his face, voice, body,
or technique?
Don't you dare say it was his personality.
His arm pillow.
He put his arm under my head in bed.
That's what made you fall for him?
Yeah.
-That's crazy!
-What?
Does this mean
there was a little girl inside you?
Finally, you're really in love.
Don't you just love this song?
-You like this song?
-Yeah.
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why am I hearing it now?
For us to meet each other
"For us to meet each other."
Don't you love that part?
There is a chance of winning.
But for every lawsuit, it is 49 to 51.
So there's no need to sue first and pay
five million for the court deposit.
Let me know
what stance the other side takes.
NAM KANG-HO
-Yes?
-Did you have lunch?
Yes!
What did you eat?
Doenjang-jjigae!
Oh, you had doenjang-jjigae?
Do I know how to be cute?
What time do you get off work?
My dad was rich, and my mom was poor.
He loved her, but I guess my mom
only cared about money.
We were a very happy family
until my mom took me to America.
But after my dad's business failed,
and we returned…
I've never seen my mom comfort my dad.
And my broke dad
was always treated like a sinner.
Then suddenly,
he passed away in a car accident,
and I had a stepdad
in less than two years.
He was very rich.
I swore that I'd never end up
with a woman like that,
but I failed with my first love
in a similar way.
That must have been hard.
I also have something to tell you.
My most recent ex-boyfriend
is Lee Jin-suh, an attorney at the firm.
I had to look for a new firm to work at,
and the only place
that hired me was Gilmu.
I needed the money,
so I couldn't walk away.
Anyway, we're getting along fine
as just coworkers now.
Don't worry.
Yeah, well,
I'm also working with Oh Se-na.
We shot scene 94 yesterday.
Oh.
What? Do you know what that is?
I do. It's the motel scene.
I remember things like that.
I thought
those things wouldn't bother you.
I know.
Apparently, I can be cute and jealous too.
Oh, right. That was cute.
"Doenjang-jjigae."
Stop it.
"Doenjang-jjigae"?
Stop it!
-Why?
-Stop it!
Don't do it!
Hey! I'm not doing it again!
Then say something else.
Kimchi-jjigae.
Hey!
"Hey"?
-Did that hurt?
-No.
I liked it.
My turn.
-This side too!
-Hey!
-Now the neck!
-No, don't!
Damn it! I'm going to bite you.
Bite me. Bite me all you want.
I have to go now.
I have to go to work tomorrow.
I have to go to work!
What's that?
You like me that much?
When do you get off work?
Aren't you tired?
Kang-ho, why don't you call in
and take a day off?
You look exhausted.
I'll get more tired if I try to rest.
I can't seem to rest.
There must be a beast inside me.
I want to see her all the time.
Now that they're dating,
I guess we'll run
into each other often, right?
So I'm going to get this off my chest now.
Honestly, I was kind of falling for you.
But you're way out of my league,
and our getting together
will never happen.
So please help me get over you
and find my inner peace.
-You want my help?
-Yes.
All you need to do
is listen to what I have to say.
Once I reveal my shortcomings,
I think I'll stop trying to impress you.
First, I don't have a lot of money.
I have a bank loan of 50 million won.
I thought you were frugal.
When Mi-ran and I got our place,
I pooled all my savings
and was still 50 million short.
I have fewer flights, so less income.
I even had a guy swindle
all my savings once.
I lent money I never got back.
Three million one time, then five million
-A few smaller amounts of money too.
-You dated men like that?
Yes. I don't know how to pick decent men.
I like them if they are handsome.
I have a bad habit when I'm drunk.
I'd get drunk, call them,
and make a damn fuss,
whining about why they screwed me over.
You were heartbroken,
so that's understandable.
No.
I don't need such kind words from you.
Anyway, thank you for listening.
Farewell.
Whoa! Wait a minute!
Spilling all those embarrassing stories
is making me feel bad!
Sit down.
I'm quite fussy myself.
If you hear my stories,
it might help you get over your feelings.
No.
Then we'd be on equal footing,
and I'd get my hopes back up.
I have to completely crush my hopes.
Jeez.
They say like attracts like.
You're just as much of an oddball
as Ms. Yeo.
Are you speaking ill of Mi-ran?
No way.
I just find you so interesting.
When I said "oddball,"
that was a compliment.
Well, then. I guess the four of us
going on trips and hanging out is now
not happening?
Probably?
I mean, we can meet up briefly,
but trips would be too…
You can go with them.
And be the third wheel?
By myself? And be tactless?
Oh, I guess that's not good.
Why did you have to fall for me
and make this so boring? Jeez.
Did you think it'd be fun
if we all went together?
Yes.
No.
Stop saying things like that.
Thank you for sparing your time.
Have a nice day.
Jeez.
Why am I getting so pissed off?
Because the four of us can't hang out?
GILMU
LAW CORPORATION
Where did that file go?
Thank you.
Oh, coffee.
I'm going to get coffee.
Anybody want some?
Hey.
What's with her? I'm scared.
Do you want some?
People don't change,
and you can't change them.
But you seem so different.
You don't like it?
It's not that.
But it's a little creepy.
The other guys are also scared of you.
Do you want to grab a drink today?
It's all thanks to you, Soo-jin.
I owe you a nice meal.
So you're calling me Soo-jin now.
But do you think
buying me a meal is enough?
Where's mine?
What are you, a kid?
Do I look like your mom?
Go get your own glass and drink.
Did you have a bad day today?
It's not like I'm taking it out on you
because I had a bad day.
You should deal with your things yourself!
I don't have to act like a woman
for you anymore!
I hated romance shows more than you.
It drove me almost to the point of puking,
but I pulled through for you!
"Puking" is a little harsh.
Look how easily
you overcame that condition.
And you had me suffer all this time!
If you could pull off a kiss with Se-na,
you could do it with just about
every female actor, right?
I'm telling you.
It's such a mystery.
It still doesn't mean I find Se-na
or other women more likable.
But it feels like something
that was once frozen
has been thawed.
Well, that must be
what being cured is like.
Are you happy?
Yeah.
Good.
That's a huge load off my shoulder,
thanks to this.
Huh? She's here already?
Who?
I'm sorry.
I came to this firm and made you
uncomfortable just so I could live.
I even took your client.
You didn't take my client.
Choi Soo-jin was already going to pick
someone else.
There are other things too.
I made you feel like you were nothing.
So you know.
"Someone like you means nothing to me."
"Men like you are a dime a dozen."
That feeling.
Did you do it on purpose?
I can't say it was totally unintentional.
But it wasn't just to you.
I know. All the guys that dated you
from our law school days…
Now that I think about it,
they were all two-timing cheaters.
I know that you were a two-timing,
three-timing cheater too.
Hey, did you date
those types of guys on purpose?
To punish them?
Cheating men are easier to seduce
and fun to hang out with,
and it feels good when I dump them.
Wow, I dated a terrifying woman.
So, you dated them
to break their hearts and punish them,
even though you didn't like them.
Is that possible?
Those guys thought of dating as a game,
so I played games with them.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
I'm a big fan of that phrase.
Men tend to lack empathy,
so they have to learn through experience.
Then they realize what they've done.
Are you doing the same thing
to Nam Kang-ho?
No.
A good person…
isn't someone who is just nice
but someone who changes others
into nice people.
Are you saying he is a good person?
I think so.
He's changing me into a nice person.
If you really want to repay me,
throw a really fun surprise party for me.
-A party?
-You're in a mess right now.
What do you mean "a party"?
That's why I'm asking him
to host the party.
Nam Kang-ho throws a party
and asks me to come,
and that's when I show up.
We did nothing for Christmas either.
It's just so depressing to pass the time
without any celebration.
Oh, can't you just stay quiet for a while?
Just stay depressed for a while!
I've seen you get angry plenty of times,
but I've never seen you get depressed.
It'll help with acting.
What is acting?
Is that more important than myself?
What's up with him today?
I think he's stressed out because of me.
I've caused him a lot of trouble.
What's this?
You two have swapped roles.
Are you throwing tantrums
because Kang-ho is dating now?
And you're sitting here comforting him
instead of seeing Mi-ran?
No, she's meeting someone tonight.
You did some nice things
even when we dated.
You paid for expensive meals
and let me pay for cheap ones.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Taxi!
That was the first time I ever went
to a hotel with another woman.
Damn it, stop lying.
You lie even when you're drunk.
-God, seriously.
-How did you know?
You're a psychic.
All right. I'm sorry!
Just forget about this lying bastard,
and have a nice life.
Where are you going?
Yeah, hello?
Are you still out?
Hey. Stand up, will you?
We can't get a cab that way!
Let me talk to Lee Jin-suh.
He's in no shape to talk.
Don't worry. I'll get him home safely.
Just leave me here and go.
A grown man can go home by himself.
Where are you?
Something urgent came up.
Make yourself at home.
There are lots of drinks in the fridge.
I didn't know he was so my type.
He's completely down-to-earth.
I just love it.
You boys are ridiculous.
-Soo-jin.
-What?
What goes on in the mind of a woman
who rejects you when you haven't even
thought about asking her out?
Is she really trying to push you out,
or is it her way of saying she likes you?
Someone rejected you?
Yeah.
She said there's no chance
of us getting together.
I was just sitting there, you know?
-But she said that all by herself!
-Who is she?
You don't know her. We met recently.
So it's someone I don't know.
Yeah.
Wow, I'm so curious.
What kind of woman managed
to snag Do Won-jun's heart?
What?
You're annoyed because she's rejected you.
Just a moment, please.
Jin-suh.
Let's go. The cab's here.
Huh? Wait!
-I'll report you for refusal of service!
-Report you!
Oh, this is killing me.
Huh? Why did you come?
When I told you where we were,
I didn't mean for you to come here.
I'll hold him. Go and get a cab.
Okay.
Oh, no. I'm okay.
Go.
Hello.
Impressive.
You're worrying about your ex-boyfriend
in front of your current one.
Are you mad?
Are you asking why I am mad
when there's no reason to be?
I don't mean that!
I'm staying out this late with my ex,
so you have a right to be mad.
I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
-What the…
-What are you doing?
Hey!
I'm okay!
Give me your address. Where do you live?
Hongeun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul…
That's my old address!
Your house is in Sadang-dong!
God, you still remember my address?
Hey, I'm really sorry,
but I think I have to take him home.
He almost froze to death last winter.
Go and catch a cab.
Let's get you in. Whoa!
All right. Okay.
Ouch, damn it.
-You're going with us?
-Go home now, Ms. Yeo.
Hey…
He is mad.
If I never cheated on you,
would we still be together?
No.
Huh?
You're right.
You didn't go out with me
because you liked me in the first place.
You didn't like any of the guys you dated.
But still…
I really liked you.
Damn it!
Yeah.
I should congratulate you.
Mi-ran, you finally met a guy
that you truly like.
Be happy.
Well, I guess the four of us
going on trips and hanging out is now
not happening?
I mean, why can't we?
Even Mi-ran's dating Nam Kang-ho.
CEO DO WON-JUN
Why is he calling me? Why?
I thought I explained everything!
Why are you calling me?
Hello?
This is Do Won-jun.
Oh! Yes?
I want to ask you something.
I'm outside your place right now.
Are you not home?
Yes, I'm home.
Yes.
Maybe five minutes? No, three minutes?
What's wrong with him?
Something you can't ask over the phone?
You also rejected me in person
instead of doing it on the phone.
Well, that's because I had a lot to say.
What I'm about to ask you
will also leave you with a lot to say.
What is it that you want to ask?
Is there anyone you can't seem to get over
among all the men you've met?
Anyone you'd like to try
and get back with?
Do you have anyone?
No.
I'd try and stop any woman
from dating them.
I'd tell them not to be fooled
by their looks because they are jerks.
Right?
You got over all your exes,
so why would someone "out of your league"
like me be any different?
Don't you think so?
Oh, this is coming out all wrong again.
Damn it.
Okay. It is true
that I'm popular with the ladies.
But for you to think of me
like I'm on another level
and talk about who's out of whose league
made me uncomfortable.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with you.
What's your problem?
Are you here to yell at me,
not ask questions?
No.
That's not it.
I pleaded with you, didn't I?
Why did you come to my place
and say something sweet like that?
That was sweet?
I didn't say that
to make myself look sweet.
Then what is it?
"Just go out with me.
There's nothing much."
So, are you asking me out?
Huh?
So, what I mean is that
you are a fine woman
who can date any great guy.
And I think you're being
too harsh on yourself.
The fact that you met those men
was all because you have a pure heart.
Being wary of men
because of your past experiences
will ultimately torment you the most.
Oh God.
-What's wrong with you?
-What about me?
Is the cat worried for the mouse?
This mouse will date another mouse,
so stop it already and just leave.
Was I being sweet again?
I'm sorry.
Why did you put yourself
through the trouble?
I could have taken care of it.
Were you always taking that dude home?
Yeah.
Once in a while.
On occasion.
So you did a lot.
Wow, you two are such a handful.
Now that you're here,
I have to take you home too!
You don't have to take me home!
I don't have to go.
You're not going? What about work?
I have a scene to shoot tomorrow.
My last scene.
You're not mad now?
Is that because I'm sleeping over?
-I was never mad.
-Yeah?
Then I'll go home now. Good night.
Hey!
"Hey"?
You little…
-Come here.
-You said you weren't mad!
Now that I know you're not, I'll go.
See? You're mad
that I'm not sleeping here.
Okay, fine. I'm mad!
What's the matter?
-Huh?
-Hey!
-Whoa!
-Damn it!
Wait--
Wait, hang on a second.
We have a shoot tomorrow!
I'll be quick.
What do you mean by that?
We have a shoot tomorrow!
Better tap out.
You scared me.
I said no.
Oh, okay. I give up!
I won't do it.
No, I won't do it. Let's just sleep.
I'm not an animal.
Let's just go to bed. Just sleep.
Oh, I won't do it. Let's just sleep.
I love you.
I said I love you.
Okay, this is the last scene!
Everyone, hang in there. Let's hurry!
You're not a killer.
I'll testify.
That you aren't the killer!
Not as thrilling as I thought.
It's like killing a bug.
I'm not dead.
Huh?
I think I'll survive.
Wow, good job!
Great work.
Here's to Shadow's success!
Cheers!
Good job. Great work, sir.
Good work.
Good job.
-Good work.
-Thank you.
-Good work.
-You too.
Who needs a light?
With our backs touching,
I'm going to kick him
in the back of his head.
No way!
You want to see it?
-Show us!
-Go ahead!
One, two, three!
You've done well. In everything.
You have something to say, right?
I don't know if there will be
another chance for me to hear you out.
So tell me everything that's on your mind.
We're really over, huh?
-Not even the bad feelings are left.
-We were over a very long time ago.
It didn't end recently.
-Do you have tissues?
-You can blow your nose with this.
No. Don't you have any tissues?
The old you
was nice to a fault.
That's why I took you lightly.
I thought you'd like me again
if I followed you around.
Won-jun told me
that I was the worst woman in your life.
Now I've become even worse than that.
That's not true.
You never took me lightly.
That's why you couldn't try
anything on me.
You just tried to look pitiful.
It's not like you only affected me
in a bad way.
I was so envious
after seeing you make it big.
That made me want to make it big too.
After my first title became a hit,
I was actually scared.
Because I suddenly had
unlimited opportunities.
I had to prove that my first success
wasn't just luck.
So I tried to be the best
in the next one
and the one after that too.
It was a really tough time for me.
But I had this feeling of emptiness.
Even when I was dating impressive men,
something felt missing.
I didn't know
it was love that I was missing.
And then I saw you on TV one day
and realized,
"Oh."
"I don't need more things.
I need to let go."
I thought I could let go of the compulsion
or obsession about success
and still feel peaceful if I was with you.
I really missed the old days.
Memories or yearnings aren't love.
Love is a person.
You'll find someone
who is just right for who you are now.
Introduce me to someone like that.
I'm hosting a party this weekend.
You can come and look for one.
You're hosting a party?
You?!
A good friend of my girlfriend
asked me to.
You, a party?
Come with me, please?
I don't want to.
I don't even have decent clothes to wear.
I'd look pathetic next to the actresses.
Why would you compete with the actresses?
Just enjoy the food
and the sight of handsome actors.
Forget it. I'm sick of handsome men.
Is it because of Do Won-jun?
Because he'd be mingling
with the actresses?
Why would I care
if he mingles with them or not?
Oh, stop bugging me and just go!
Oh, jeez.
-Call me if you change your mind.
-Okay.
CEO DO WON-JUN
DELETE CONTAC
Have you been well?
-Oh, yes.
-Of course.
Thank you for inviting us.
You're welcome. Thanks for coming.
-Enjoy the party.
-We will.
Oh, welcome!
How do you still look like a fairy
at your age?
Wow, did Nam Kang-ho
just compliment a female actor?
Look how you've changed.
You're even hosting a party.
We all change when we're in love.
Even more so once we're married.
One night!
Wait, it's this. One night!
Two days!
Girlfriend?
Who? Is she here?
Wow, where did you learn to do this?
I had a friend who was a DJ.
Ex-boyfriend?
Yes.
Oh…
I'll keep it a secret from Kang-ho.
No need. He already knows.
Just as I thought!
I saw you on TV.
Your singing is incredible.
I learned how to sing back then
when you and I went
to karaoke all the time.
I would sing, and you would dance.
Man, I don't think I've ever gone
to karaoke since then.
Since we broke up, I haven't heard
anything about you dating a girl.
I haven't dated since.
Why not? Can't find a girl you like?
I couldn't find one,
but now I did.
-Are there a lot of people?
-Yeah.
-Lots of people.
-Wow, impressive.
I'm excited!
Why don't you make your entrance now?
You're the guest of the night.
You look lonely.
A lonely-looking handsome man
is the deadliest thing, you know.
It's been a while. Have you been well?
You're on a hot streak these days.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
I heard you don't get along
with Nam Kang-ho.
You too. I heard you two didn't talk
at the wrap-up party.
How have you been?
Great. How about you?
I didn't expect you
to invite us to this party.
Oh, thank you for coming.
I've been wanting to meet you
and apologize to you.
Hey!
I told you to stay out of my view.
You're breaking my concentration!
Hey, cut! Jeez.
I'm sorry.
If you're going to be a jerk,
you should at least act properly.
I apologize for back then.
I was rude and presumptuous.
I was really harsh to you too,
Ji-eun, wasn't I?
I'm really sorry.
I bought it for this show. It's a prop!
Other shows reimbursed me.
Are you a bum?
What did you say?
Let's have a drink later.
-Okay.
-Okay.
What's up with him?
Is he dying?
Soo-jin. Why are you by yourself?
Did you see me come in?
I thought I was Moses parting the Red Sea.
Everyone moved aside to avoid me.
I treated them
to so many meals and drinks.
But they all avoided me once they heard
the rumor that I had an affair.
I thought there had to be a few
who'd be glad to see me
but look at them.
They're all afraid to be seen
and be associated with me.
This is the cold world we live in!
At least allow me…
You keep Mi-ran company.
She doesn't know anyone else.
Oh, I'm totally fine on my own.
Even better if someone's with me.
Soo-jin, let's not sit here like this.
Let's go have some fun over there.
They have fun things.
Where?
Just come with me!
Okay.
What, is it something bad?
Depending on how you take it,
it can be good.
Or it can be bad.
This long introduction makes me think
I won't like to hear it.
We should…
stay good friends…
for life.
Is the emphasis on "for life"
or "friends"?
"Friends."
Are you seeing someone?
You said before that we should get married
if we are living like this
at the age of 40.
I don't want you to wait around for me
and waste your time.
I'd rather hear you say you found someone.
If you're just saying this,
it means you don't want me to like you.
If I didn't like you,
would I have hung out at your place?
And now you're acting this way
because you do have someone.
Okay, well,
I wouldn't throw away
15 years of our friendship.
But I'm not sure
if we can remain good friends.
No!
Soo-jin!
What is this?
Sang-sup, do you have a smoke?
Sir.
Take a look at this.
I knew it.
Look at this.
SHOCKING LIFE OF NAM KANG-HO'S GIRLFRIEND!
Everyone knows her at this club.
She's a master at picking up men.
She even left the club
with a guy she picked up here
when she had a boyfriend.
She thinks nothing's wrong
with having one-night stands.
Some kind of a game?
That's what she thinks of them.
When I first heard that his girlfriend
was a lawyer, I thought it could be her,
but who knew?
Wow! If this is true,
it is really shocking!
Would Nam Kang-ho have known this?
Come on, who would knowingly date
a woman like her?
But she's okay with a one-night stand?
Oh my God!
Wow, you're good.
-I did well, right?
-As I expected.
Huh?
It's Na-eun. Just a second.
Don't you feel like something's off?
Yes.
LOVE TO HATE YOU
Wait.
What?
I think this is too much.
What, having sex on day one?
No, having sex without even saying
so much as "I like you."
We said it earlier!
The one that comes after.
I love you.
You've never said it?
-No.
-Not even once?
-No.
-It's okay.
You can say it later.
I'm always taking the lead with you.
Do I need to say it out loud?
You're such a dude.
This sealed the deal for me.
I fell for you
because you weren't like other women.
The women I knew were all manipulative,
selfish, and calculating.
But you were act-now-think-later,
foolish, and foolhardy.
"Foolhardy"?
Courageous.
Frankly, I liked you even before that.
Then when was it?
When you threw the boomerang?
It's true that men are attracted
to unfamiliar women.
You were so unfamiliar.
You drove like a maniac.
You got beat up on your birthday.
And you risked your life
to save a stranger.
There are no strangers when saving lives.
Right. You're a hero who saves any life.
Wait, no.
A heroine, since you're a woman.
You can see I mean it, right?
How'd you come up with an answer
that even I couldn't have imagined?
It was amazing.
"Know your enemy and know yourself."
I'm not telling you to win against Mi-ran.
I just think it would be good for you
to know about her mom's book.
Mi-ran's father is extremely patriarchal,
and Mi-ran's mother suffered
a great deal of unfairness as a woman.
It's a huge plus
that my mom likes you, honey.
-And I don't care what my dad thinks.
-"Honey"?
-Yeah.
-Good. That was very natural.
EPISODE 9
YOU MADE ME WHO I AM
I think I'm going to cry.
What do I do?
It's all right. You're gonna be great.
Once the camera starts rolling,
you'll turn into movie star Oh Se-na.
I should've shot this before I saw them.
The image of him grabbing
that woman's hand and heading to his room,
I keep thinking about it.
This is driving me crazy too!
All right, then…
How about you use this emotion
and carry that right into the scene?
You know that this scene requires you
to portray a bit of sadness.
Just cry.
This will be your last kiss with Kang-ho.
The last kiss with a man
that you can never have.
Are you sure? I can't have him back?
I don't think
Mi-ran likes Kang-ho that much.
You're wrong.
They are both certain.
You wouldn't tell me the account number,
so I brought it.
No.
You really don't have to return it.
How will I keep seeing him
if I take this money?
I was told not to use a single dime
because you never know what will happen.
Na-eun told me.
Hey.
Are you out of your mind?
You shouldn't forget that
no matter how distracted you are!
Kang-ho, Hyeok-su is on standby.
Oh, yes. Got it.
I'll say that you suddenly fell ill,
so pretend you're fainting.
Come on, drop down.
-No. I'm going to do it.
-Do what?
The kissing scene, that's what.
Huh?
I think I can do it.
Thank you.
So you did take the medicine.
Why did you scare me like that?
I really didn't.
-Really?
-Yeah.
But it worked.
Oh, why do you ask something like that?
Of course, I know you're dating
none other than Nam Kang-ho.
But you've never fallen for a guy before.
So I'm curious
about what made you fall for him.
Was it his face, voice, body,
or technique?
Don't you dare say it was his personality.
His arm pillow.
He put his arm under my head in bed.
That's what made you fall for him?
Yeah.
-That's crazy!
-What?
Does this mean
there was a little girl inside you?
Finally, you're really in love.
Don't you just love this song?
-You like this song?
-Yeah.
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why am I hearing it now?
For us to meet each other
"For us to meet each other."
Don't you love that part?
There is a chance of winning.
But for every lawsuit, it is 49 to 51.
So there's no need to sue first and pay
five million for the court deposit.
Let me know
what stance the other side takes.
NAM KANG-HO
-Yes?
-Did you have lunch?
Yes!
What did you eat?
Doenjang-jjigae!
Oh, you had doenjang-jjigae?
Do I know how to be cute?
What time do you get off work?
My dad was rich, and my mom was poor.
He loved her, but I guess my mom
only cared about money.
We were a very happy family
until my mom took me to America.
But after my dad's business failed,
and we returned…
I've never seen my mom comfort my dad.
And my broke dad
was always treated like a sinner.
Then suddenly,
he passed away in a car accident,
and I had a stepdad
in less than two years.
He was very rich.
I swore that I'd never end up
with a woman like that,
but I failed with my first love
in a similar way.
That must have been hard.
I also have something to tell you.
My most recent ex-boyfriend
is Lee Jin-suh, an attorney at the firm.
I had to look for a new firm to work at,
and the only place
that hired me was Gilmu.
I needed the money,
so I couldn't walk away.
Anyway, we're getting along fine
as just coworkers now.
Don't worry.
Yeah, well,
I'm also working with Oh Se-na.
We shot scene 94 yesterday.
Oh.
What? Do you know what that is?
I do. It's the motel scene.
I remember things like that.
I thought
those things wouldn't bother you.
I know.
Apparently, I can be cute and jealous too.
Oh, right. That was cute.
"Doenjang-jjigae."
Stop it.
"Doenjang-jjigae"?
Stop it!
-Why?
-Stop it!
Don't do it!
Hey! I'm not doing it again!
Then say something else.
Kimchi-jjigae.
Hey!
"Hey"?
-Did that hurt?
-No.
I liked it.
My turn.
-This side too!
-Hey!
-Now the neck!
-No, don't!
Damn it! I'm going to bite you.
Bite me. Bite me all you want.
I have to go now.
I have to go to work tomorrow.
I have to go to work!
What's that?
You like me that much?
When do you get off work?
Aren't you tired?
Kang-ho, why don't you call in
and take a day off?
You look exhausted.
I'll get more tired if I try to rest.
I can't seem to rest.
There must be a beast inside me.
I want to see her all the time.
Now that they're dating,
I guess we'll run
into each other often, right?
So I'm going to get this off my chest now.
Honestly, I was kind of falling for you.
But you're way out of my league,
and our getting together
will never happen.
So please help me get over you
and find my inner peace.
-You want my help?
-Yes.
All you need to do
is listen to what I have to say.
Once I reveal my shortcomings,
I think I'll stop trying to impress you.
First, I don't have a lot of money.
I have a bank loan of 50 million won.
I thought you were frugal.
When Mi-ran and I got our place,
I pooled all my savings
and was still 50 million short.
I have fewer flights, so less income.
I even had a guy swindle
all my savings once.
I lent money I never got back.
Three million one time, then five million
-A few smaller amounts of money too.
-You dated men like that?
Yes. I don't know how to pick decent men.
I like them if they are handsome.
I have a bad habit when I'm drunk.
I'd get drunk, call them,
and make a damn fuss,
whining about why they screwed me over.
You were heartbroken,
so that's understandable.
No.
I don't need such kind words from you.
Anyway, thank you for listening.
Farewell.
Whoa! Wait a minute!
Spilling all those embarrassing stories
is making me feel bad!
Sit down.
I'm quite fussy myself.
If you hear my stories,
it might help you get over your feelings.
No.
Then we'd be on equal footing,
and I'd get my hopes back up.
I have to completely crush my hopes.
Jeez.
They say like attracts like.
You're just as much of an oddball
as Ms. Yeo.
Are you speaking ill of Mi-ran?
No way.
I just find you so interesting.
When I said "oddball,"
that was a compliment.
Well, then. I guess the four of us
going on trips and hanging out is now
not happening?
Probably?
I mean, we can meet up briefly,
but trips would be too…
You can go with them.
And be the third wheel?
By myself? And be tactless?
Oh, I guess that's not good.
Why did you have to fall for me
and make this so boring? Jeez.
Did you think it'd be fun
if we all went together?
Yes.
No.
Stop saying things like that.
Thank you for sparing your time.
Have a nice day.
Jeez.
Why am I getting so pissed off?
Because the four of us can't hang out?
GILMU
LAW CORPORATION
Where did that file go?
Thank you.
Oh, coffee.
I'm going to get coffee.
Anybody want some?
Hey.
What's with her? I'm scared.
Do you want some?
People don't change,
and you can't change them.
But you seem so different.
You don't like it?
It's not that.
But it's a little creepy.
The other guys are also scared of you.
Do you want to grab a drink today?
It's all thanks to you, Soo-jin.
I owe you a nice meal.
So you're calling me Soo-jin now.
But do you think
buying me a meal is enough?
Where's mine?
What are you, a kid?
Do I look like your mom?
Go get your own glass and drink.
Did you have a bad day today?
It's not like I'm taking it out on you
because I had a bad day.
You should deal with your things yourself!
I don't have to act like a woman
for you anymore!
I hated romance shows more than you.
It drove me almost to the point of puking,
but I pulled through for you!
"Puking" is a little harsh.
Look how easily
you overcame that condition.
And you had me suffer all this time!
If you could pull off a kiss with Se-na,
you could do it with just about
every female actor, right?
I'm telling you.
It's such a mystery.
It still doesn't mean I find Se-na
or other women more likable.
But it feels like something
that was once frozen
has been thawed.
Well, that must be
what being cured is like.
Are you happy?
Yeah.
Good.
That's a huge load off my shoulder,
thanks to this.
Huh? She's here already?
Who?
I'm sorry.
I came to this firm and made you
uncomfortable just so I could live.
I even took your client.
You didn't take my client.
Choi Soo-jin was already going to pick
someone else.
There are other things too.
I made you feel like you were nothing.
So you know.
"Someone like you means nothing to me."
"Men like you are a dime a dozen."
That feeling.
Did you do it on purpose?
I can't say it was totally unintentional.
But it wasn't just to you.
I know. All the guys that dated you
from our law school days…
Now that I think about it,
they were all two-timing cheaters.
I know that you were a two-timing,
three-timing cheater too.
Hey, did you date
those types of guys on purpose?
To punish them?
Cheating men are easier to seduce
and fun to hang out with,
and it feels good when I dump them.
Wow, I dated a terrifying woman.
So, you dated them
to break their hearts and punish them,
even though you didn't like them.
Is that possible?
Those guys thought of dating as a game,
so I played games with them.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
I'm a big fan of that phrase.
Men tend to lack empathy,
so they have to learn through experience.
Then they realize what they've done.
Are you doing the same thing
to Nam Kang-ho?
No.
A good person…
isn't someone who is just nice
but someone who changes others
into nice people.
Are you saying he is a good person?
I think so.
He's changing me into a nice person.
If you really want to repay me,
throw a really fun surprise party for me.
-A party?
-You're in a mess right now.
What do you mean "a party"?
That's why I'm asking him
to host the party.
Nam Kang-ho throws a party
and asks me to come,
and that's when I show up.
We did nothing for Christmas either.
It's just so depressing to pass the time
without any celebration.
Oh, can't you just stay quiet for a while?
Just stay depressed for a while!
I've seen you get angry plenty of times,
but I've never seen you get depressed.
It'll help with acting.
What is acting?
Is that more important than myself?
What's up with him today?
I think he's stressed out because of me.
I've caused him a lot of trouble.
What's this?
You two have swapped roles.
Are you throwing tantrums
because Kang-ho is dating now?
And you're sitting here comforting him
instead of seeing Mi-ran?
No, she's meeting someone tonight.
You did some nice things
even when we dated.
You paid for expensive meals
and let me pay for cheap ones.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Taxi!
That was the first time I ever went
to a hotel with another woman.
Damn it, stop lying.
You lie even when you're drunk.
-God, seriously.
-How did you know?
You're a psychic.
All right. I'm sorry!
Just forget about this lying bastard,
and have a nice life.
Where are you going?
Yeah, hello?
Are you still out?
Hey. Stand up, will you?
We can't get a cab that way!
Let me talk to Lee Jin-suh.
He's in no shape to talk.
Don't worry. I'll get him home safely.
Just leave me here and go.
A grown man can go home by himself.
Where are you?
Something urgent came up.
Make yourself at home.
There are lots of drinks in the fridge.
I didn't know he was so my type.
He's completely down-to-earth.
I just love it.
You boys are ridiculous.
-Soo-jin.
-What?
What goes on in the mind of a woman
who rejects you when you haven't even
thought about asking her out?
Is she really trying to push you out,
or is it her way of saying she likes you?
Someone rejected you?
Yeah.
She said there's no chance
of us getting together.
I was just sitting there, you know?
-But she said that all by herself!
-Who is she?
You don't know her. We met recently.
So it's someone I don't know.
Yeah.
Wow, I'm so curious.
What kind of woman managed
to snag Do Won-jun's heart?
What?
You're annoyed because she's rejected you.
Just a moment, please.
Jin-suh.
Let's go. The cab's here.
Huh? Wait!
-I'll report you for refusal of service!
-Report you!
Oh, this is killing me.
Huh? Why did you come?
When I told you where we were,
I didn't mean for you to come here.
I'll hold him. Go and get a cab.
Okay.
Oh, no. I'm okay.
Go.
Hello.
Impressive.
You're worrying about your ex-boyfriend
in front of your current one.
Are you mad?
Are you asking why I am mad
when there's no reason to be?
I don't mean that!
I'm staying out this late with my ex,
so you have a right to be mad.
I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
-What the…
-What are you doing?
Hey!
I'm okay!
Give me your address. Where do you live?
Hongeun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul…
That's my old address!
Your house is in Sadang-dong!
God, you still remember my address?
Hey, I'm really sorry,
but I think I have to take him home.
He almost froze to death last winter.
Go and catch a cab.
Let's get you in. Whoa!
All right. Okay.
Ouch, damn it.
-You're going with us?
-Go home now, Ms. Yeo.
Hey…
He is mad.
If I never cheated on you,
would we still be together?
No.
Huh?
You're right.
You didn't go out with me
because you liked me in the first place.
You didn't like any of the guys you dated.
But still…
I really liked you.
Damn it!
Yeah.
I should congratulate you.
Mi-ran, you finally met a guy
that you truly like.
Be happy.
Well, I guess the four of us
going on trips and hanging out is now
not happening?
I mean, why can't we?
Even Mi-ran's dating Nam Kang-ho.
CEO DO WON-JUN
Why is he calling me? Why?
I thought I explained everything!
Why are you calling me?
Hello?
This is Do Won-jun.
Oh! Yes?
I want to ask you something.
I'm outside your place right now.
Are you not home?
Yes, I'm home.
Yes.
Maybe five minutes? No, three minutes?
What's wrong with him?
Something you can't ask over the phone?
You also rejected me in person
instead of doing it on the phone.
Well, that's because I had a lot to say.
What I'm about to ask you
will also leave you with a lot to say.
What is it that you want to ask?
Is there anyone you can't seem to get over
among all the men you've met?
Anyone you'd like to try
and get back with?
Do you have anyone?
No.
I'd try and stop any woman
from dating them.
I'd tell them not to be fooled
by their looks because they are jerks.
Right?
You got over all your exes,
so why would someone "out of your league"
like me be any different?
Don't you think so?
Oh, this is coming out all wrong again.
Damn it.
Okay. It is true
that I'm popular with the ladies.
But for you to think of me
like I'm on another level
and talk about who's out of whose league
made me uncomfortable.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with you.
What's your problem?
Are you here to yell at me,
not ask questions?
No.
That's not it.
I pleaded with you, didn't I?
Why did you come to my place
and say something sweet like that?
That was sweet?
I didn't say that
to make myself look sweet.
Then what is it?
"Just go out with me.
There's nothing much."
So, are you asking me out?
Huh?
So, what I mean is that
you are a fine woman
who can date any great guy.
And I think you're being
too harsh on yourself.
The fact that you met those men
was all because you have a pure heart.
Being wary of men
because of your past experiences
will ultimately torment you the most.
Oh God.
-What's wrong with you?
-What about me?
Is the cat worried for the mouse?
This mouse will date another mouse,
so stop it already and just leave.
Was I being sweet again?
I'm sorry.
Why did you put yourself
through the trouble?
I could have taken care of it.
Were you always taking that dude home?
Yeah.
Once in a while.
On occasion.
So you did a lot.
Wow, you two are such a handful.
Now that you're here,
I have to take you home too!
You don't have to take me home!
I don't have to go.
You're not going? What about work?
I have a scene to shoot tomorrow.
My last scene.
You're not mad now?
Is that because I'm sleeping over?
-I was never mad.
-Yeah?
Then I'll go home now. Good night.
Hey!
"Hey"?
You little…
-Come here.
-You said you weren't mad!
Now that I know you're not, I'll go.
See? You're mad
that I'm not sleeping here.
Okay, fine. I'm mad!
What's the matter?
-Huh?
-Hey!
-Whoa!
-Damn it!
Wait--
Wait, hang on a second.
We have a shoot tomorrow!
I'll be quick.
What do you mean by that?
We have a shoot tomorrow!
Better tap out.
You scared me.
I said no.
Oh, okay. I give up!
I won't do it.
No, I won't do it. Let's just sleep.
I'm not an animal.
Let's just go to bed. Just sleep.
Oh, I won't do it. Let's just sleep.
I love you.
I said I love you.
Okay, this is the last scene!
Everyone, hang in there. Let's hurry!
You're not a killer.
I'll testify.
That you aren't the killer!
Not as thrilling as I thought.
It's like killing a bug.
I'm not dead.
Huh?
I think I'll survive.
Wow, good job!
Great work.
Here's to Shadow's success!
Cheers!
Good job. Great work, sir.
Good work.
Good job.
-Good work.
-Thank you.
-Good work.
-You too.
Who needs a light?
With our backs touching,
I'm going to kick him
in the back of his head.
No way!
You want to see it?
-Show us!
-Go ahead!
One, two, three!
You've done well. In everything.
You have something to say, right?
I don't know if there will be
another chance for me to hear you out.
So tell me everything that's on your mind.
We're really over, huh?
-Not even the bad feelings are left.
-We were over a very long time ago.
It didn't end recently.
-Do you have tissues?
-You can blow your nose with this.
No. Don't you have any tissues?
The old you
was nice to a fault.
That's why I took you lightly.
I thought you'd like me again
if I followed you around.
Won-jun told me
that I was the worst woman in your life.
Now I've become even worse than that.
That's not true.
You never took me lightly.
That's why you couldn't try
anything on me.
You just tried to look pitiful.
It's not like you only affected me
in a bad way.
I was so envious
after seeing you make it big.
That made me want to make it big too.
After my first title became a hit,
I was actually scared.
Because I suddenly had
unlimited opportunities.
I had to prove that my first success
wasn't just luck.
So I tried to be the best
in the next one
and the one after that too.
It was a really tough time for me.
But I had this feeling of emptiness.
Even when I was dating impressive men,
something felt missing.
I didn't know
it was love that I was missing.
And then I saw you on TV one day
and realized,
"Oh."
"I don't need more things.
I need to let go."
I thought I could let go of the compulsion
or obsession about success
and still feel peaceful if I was with you.
I really missed the old days.
Memories or yearnings aren't love.
Love is a person.
You'll find someone
who is just right for who you are now.
Introduce me to someone like that.
I'm hosting a party this weekend.
You can come and look for one.
You're hosting a party?
You?!
A good friend of my girlfriend
asked me to.
You, a party?
Come with me, please?
I don't want to.
I don't even have decent clothes to wear.
I'd look pathetic next to the actresses.
Why would you compete with the actresses?
Just enjoy the food
and the sight of handsome actors.
Forget it. I'm sick of handsome men.
Is it because of Do Won-jun?
Because he'd be mingling
with the actresses?
Why would I care
if he mingles with them or not?
Oh, stop bugging me and just go!
Oh, jeez.
-Call me if you change your mind.
-Okay.
CEO DO WON-JUN
DELETE CONTAC
Have you been well?
-Oh, yes.
-Of course.
Thank you for inviting us.
You're welcome. Thanks for coming.
-Enjoy the party.
-We will.
Oh, welcome!
How do you still look like a fairy
at your age?
Wow, did Nam Kang-ho
just compliment a female actor?
Look how you've changed.
You're even hosting a party.
We all change when we're in love.
Even more so once we're married.
One night!
Wait, it's this. One night!
Two days!
Girlfriend?
Who? Is she here?
Wow, where did you learn to do this?
I had a friend who was a DJ.
Ex-boyfriend?
Yes.
Oh…
I'll keep it a secret from Kang-ho.
No need. He already knows.
Just as I thought!
I saw you on TV.
Your singing is incredible.
I learned how to sing back then
when you and I went
to karaoke all the time.
I would sing, and you would dance.
Man, I don't think I've ever gone
to karaoke since then.
Since we broke up, I haven't heard
anything about you dating a girl.
I haven't dated since.
Why not? Can't find a girl you like?
I couldn't find one,
but now I did.
-Are there a lot of people?
-Yeah.
-Lots of people.
-Wow, impressive.
I'm excited!
Why don't you make your entrance now?
You're the guest of the night.
You look lonely.
A lonely-looking handsome man
is the deadliest thing, you know.
It's been a while. Have you been well?
You're on a hot streak these days.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
I heard you don't get along
with Nam Kang-ho.
You too. I heard you two didn't talk
at the wrap-up party.
How have you been?
Great. How about you?
I didn't expect you
to invite us to this party.
Oh, thank you for coming.
I've been wanting to meet you
and apologize to you.
Hey!
I told you to stay out of my view.
You're breaking my concentration!
Hey, cut! Jeez.
I'm sorry.
If you're going to be a jerk,
you should at least act properly.
I apologize for back then.
I was rude and presumptuous.
I was really harsh to you too,
Ji-eun, wasn't I?
I'm really sorry.
I bought it for this show. It's a prop!
Other shows reimbursed me.
Are you a bum?
What did you say?
Let's have a drink later.
-Okay.
-Okay.
What's up with him?
Is he dying?
Soo-jin. Why are you by yourself?
Did you see me come in?
I thought I was Moses parting the Red Sea.
Everyone moved aside to avoid me.
I treated them
to so many meals and drinks.
But they all avoided me once they heard
the rumor that I had an affair.
I thought there had to be a few
who'd be glad to see me
but look at them.
They're all afraid to be seen
and be associated with me.
This is the cold world we live in!
At least allow me…
You keep Mi-ran company.
She doesn't know anyone else.
Oh, I'm totally fine on my own.
Even better if someone's with me.
Soo-jin, let's not sit here like this.
Let's go have some fun over there.
They have fun things.
Where?
Just come with me!
Okay.
What, is it something bad?
Depending on how you take it,
it can be good.
Or it can be bad.
This long introduction makes me think
I won't like to hear it.
We should…
stay good friends…
for life.
Is the emphasis on "for life"
or "friends"?
"Friends."
Are you seeing someone?
You said before that we should get married
if we are living like this
at the age of 40.
I don't want you to wait around for me
and waste your time.
I'd rather hear you say you found someone.
If you're just saying this,
it means you don't want me to like you.
If I didn't like you,
would I have hung out at your place?
And now you're acting this way
because you do have someone.
Okay, well,
I wouldn't throw away
15 years of our friendship.
But I'm not sure
if we can remain good friends.
No!
Soo-jin!
What is this?
Sang-sup, do you have a smoke?
Sir.
Take a look at this.
I knew it.
Look at this.
SHOCKING LIFE OF NAM KANG-HO'S GIRLFRIEND!
Everyone knows her at this club.
She's a master at picking up men.
She even left the club
with a guy she picked up here
when she had a boyfriend.
She thinks nothing's wrong
with having one-night stands.
Some kind of a game?
That's what she thinks of them.
When I first heard that his girlfriend
was a lawyer, I thought it could be her,
but who knew?
Wow! If this is true,
it is really shocking!
Would Nam Kang-ho have known this?
Come on, who would knowingly date
a woman like her?
But she's okay with a one-night stand?
Oh my God!
Wow, you're good.
-I did well, right?
-As I expected.
Huh?
It's Na-eun. Just a second.
Don't you feel like something's off?
Yes.
