Love in Contract (2022) s01e16 Episode Script

1
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCALES, PRODUCTS, AND EVENTS
ARE USED IN A FICTITIOUS MANNER.
ALL SCENES WITH ANIMALS
WERE FILMED SAFELY UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE.
Hae-jin, how is Judge Jung doing?
He hasn't been out of his place much.
How is Ms. Choi?
This is so frustrating.
I mean, isn't it all over now?
Jeez, that girl.
I'm sure she just needs time.
It's almost as if
she wants to be forgotten forever.
I'm sure she doesn't want
to lose Judge Jung forever.
-I'm sorry.
-Why are you sorry?
It's Kang Sun-jin who should be sorry.
Besides, it was right
that Sang-eun put an end to all this.
I'm glad she has you by her side.
When are you leaving?
I postponed it a little
because of Sang-eun.
I don't think
I can face Mr. Jung after all.
That girl made me feel guilty for nothing.
Oh, Judge Jung! Hello.
It's gotten pretty chilly, huh?
It's like he's gone back
to being his old self.
Lunch! This looks so good.
Should we be getting started?
I don't know if Judge Jung wants to join.
We'll just tell him that food's here.
Judge Jung, join us for lunch.
Oh, I'm fine.
You should take better care of yourself
at times like this.
I'm sure she has her reasons.
-I mean…
-We'll eat without you.
I don't think Sang-eun
would be someone to abandon you…
Choi Sang-eun.
Are you going to keep this up?
I seriously don't get you.
I mean, are you ghosting him?
What is this?
I'm calling him, okay?
Don't.
What's with this absurd breakup mode?
No, just don't.
Sang-eun, why are you doing this?
It's all been taken care of.
So now make it a happy ending.
I just don't know how to face him anymore.
My entire life is just so shameful.
What about your life?
Did you want to marry into Kangjin Group?
You know you didn't.
Not only that, your clients came to you
and asked for your help.
You just had a hard life.
What's to be ashamed about that?
You know, I wanted to be of help to him.
But it turns out I wasn't.
I don't want to see him hurt
because of me.
What if something like this happens again?
He's too good for me.
I can't let him make the sacrifice for me.
Do you think
that's also the way he sees it?
No.
He'd be understanding.
That's why I can't go to him.
I feel even more guilty.
Sang-eun.
You must really like him.
No, you love him.
What do I do?
Gosh, you idiot.
Knock, knock.
This was expensive.
Thank you.
Is it tough?
For some reason, I've been so angry.
"For some reason"?
I can understand
and accept everything about her.
Because she's Ms. Choi.
If there's a problem,
shouldn't we put
our heads together and solve it?
I thought it would be
a rosy path ahead of us.
Yes. That's what
any rational person would say.
However,
those who are emotional and sensitive
may not feel that way.
Hey, Honey.
Yes, I'm with Judge Jung right now.
All right, please go ahead.
Judge Jung, Sang-eun isn't acting this way
because she doesn't know how you feel.
She knows it all too well.
She's feeling guilty.
She's scared
that she may end up hurting you.
That's why
she can't bring herself
to face you right now.
So give her some time.
I'm sure she'll come back to you,
once she's done thinking.
But why would she do that alone?
Probably because she's still young.
When people are faced with emotions
they've never felt before,
they just don't know what to do.
But what if the conclusion she reaches is
a farewell?
What do I do, then?
Give her some time, and she'll be back.
Trust me on this one, Judge Jung.
All right.
I understand.
Cheer up. And hang in there!
My Queen, I'll be home soon
to do a perfect job
with the dishes, laundry, and cleaning.
And sing you lullabies.
See you, then.
She's dealing with emotions
that are beyond our understanding.
Let's just wait for her.
But I must say,
you've truly come a long way.
Who knew the rational Jung Ji-ho
would start wearing
his heart on his sleeve?
Are you embarrassed?
Never let go of the one
who has changed you like this.
Sometimes in life,
you just don't know who you are.
That's what she's going through.
Wow.
But don't you have any work today?
I told them I'd be working outside.
So I heard Sun-jin
was kicked out of Korea.
Your mother seemed to be
quite pleased about that.
But now, there's more work for me.
Why is he giving you so much work?
I should say something
to my brother-in-law.
Seriously, you look so haggard these days.
Look at those bags under his eyes.
I've been getting more sleep
than when I was here.
Really?
Hey, what's Gwang-nam up to?
Has he made up his mind?
He's not picking up.
What is he thinking?
Hey, just let him be.
How can we let him be?
If you heard him sing,
you'd want to bring him here right now.
Mr. Kang.
What are you doing here?
What brings you here?
Your secretary told me you were here.
I came to discuss
how you'd like to liquidate your shares.
But I'll leave you to eat first.
Ms. Jung, we ordered plenty.
So please go ahead.
-Thank you.
-Do join us.
Thank you.
Gosh, I always love the vibe in here.
Maybe I should join you.
-Do join us!
-Please!
-Really?
-Yes.
So, is Mr. Jung doing okay?
He must've grown on you.
You're so worried about him.
I'm not so sure,
but probably not.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24
Long time no see.
Yes.
You can't hold your booze.
What's with all the liquor?
It's not such a good idea
to drink your misery away.
Actually, Mr. Kang.
If you don't mind,
will you teach me how to drink?
What did I just say?
This is important.
Why so stern and solemn?
I'll be in touch.
Okay.
Say hello to a fragrant morning!
You've never received flowers, have you?
You seemed a bit down lately,
so we got this for you
to brighten up your day.
I'm not a fan of flowers.
The old Jung Ji-ho is back.
The defendant has claimed
that he has never assaulted the plaintiff.
Am I correct?
Yes, that's right.
Thank you for your confirmation.
Your Honor,
Lee Jung-mo's claims are false.
I submit this as evidence.
That evidence is irrelevant
to the previous statement.
I will make my judgment
after reviewing it.
The defendant didn't exert
any physical abuse on the plaintiff.
And the plaintiff couldn't have
submitted a doctor's certificate,
as she was not even aware
of the abuse that was being exerted.
However,
the plaintiff realized much later
that the defendant had drugged her
to sexually assault her
after she refused
to have intercourse with him.
The evidence will be admitted.
Hold on.
We're married.
How can that be sexual assault?
Administration of drugs without consent
is a serious violation of the law.
You may now defend yourself.
Why are you here?
Just some pro bono work.
I'm here to fill in.
But why do you look so haggard?
Are you not feeling well?
I had some whisky before bed last night.
You mean whisky chocolates?
No, actual whisky.
Really?
Just go see Ms. Choi.
It's not what you think.
What? Did something else happen?
Explain yourself.
Sang-eun, I really wanted to tell you.
But you've been going through so much
that I couldn't find the right time.
That's ridiculous.
I really thought of you as a brother.
And I think of you as my big sister too.
So how could you do this to me?
I told you, didn't I?
You just managed to find happiness,
so I wanted you to enjoy it
for as long as you can.
If I told you I was leaving,
you would have been all worried and sad.
So that's why.
I thought Jung-han
was going to make a singer out of you.
You were so happy. Why are you leaving?
I'm not so sure I'll make it in Korea.
Why not?
What if I end up losing it all
just like I lost my job
when people find out I'm gay?
I don't want to be hurt again.
I'd hate that.
Hey, Woo Gwang-nam.
What?
You're just you.
Don't just run away.
Just show yourself as who you are
to everyone out there.
Because you're awesome.
I'm not awesome.
I mean it!
Did you make up with your family?
No.
You were going to leave
without making amends?
Unbelievable.
Go take your family
somewhere nice with this.
Take it.
Thanks so much.
Whatever.
Thank you, Mr. Jung.
For trying to spare me from trouble.
Ms. Choi did all the work.
I didn't do anything.
I came to talk to you about Sang-eun.
Right now, she…
I'm sorry.
But I'll hear it from her directly.
I don't want to misunderstand
or get ahead of myself.
I'm sure you know
that Sang-eun likes you very much.
So what she's doing to you now,
she doesn't really mean it.
That's for sure.
Right, thank you.
You two are just the same.
Why won't you go to her?
Should I reserve a table
with a great night view?
And book an event too?
No, that's quite all right.
Why not? I thought it was quite effective,
blowing out the candles together
and taking pictures together.
But those maracas?
I don't know about those.
They were a bit too much.
Right.
Stop wasting time and go to her.
Okay.
Please take good care of Sang-eun.
Are you going somewhere?
There's something I need to do.
LOVE REMEDY
LOVE HURTS
"When did you come to work?"
Hae-jin.
I'm so happy these days.
I couldn't ask for more.
MS. JUNG JI-EUN
Where are you?
I need to see you about your holdings.
I'll come to your place tonight.
That's exactly what the chairman wishes.
Are there any legal issues?
Not really.
However, do expect some backlash
from the board members
and the major shareholders.
I don’t want to go too far
and receive backlash.
Do you want one?
What are those?
It's good.
Try one.
Thanks.
You want to learn how to drink?
Well, the chief judge drinks like a whale.
So I thought I'd learn from you two.
So why do you want to learn
how to drink all of a sudden?
Exactly. I'm awfully curious myself.
I just want to be able to hold my liquor.
Oh.
Ms. Choi must like to drink.
That's right, she's a drinker.
Oh.
Is this so that you can drink with her?
Well, yes.
Please help me.
How are we even supposed to teach you?
Hold on.
At least for your first one,
you should say cheers.
Oh.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
I totally understand Ms. Choi.
I get it.
But you're doing just fine.
So don't get us involved.
Just do your thing.
Why does he seem less drunk than us?
That's because
for every five drinks we had,
this guy had one.
Less than that, I bet.
It looks like staying sober
is all up to your mentality.
Please excuse me.
You know…
We drank quite a bit too.
That's because Ji-ho
lost control at the start
and we were trying to keep up.
By the way, you are truly something.
It's not easy to advise your ex-husband
about his current wife.
I'm just jealous.
Because I don't think
I've experienced that kind of love.
Your life's not over yet.
You're out of liquor.
Cheers.
If waiting is too hard,
you can always go see her.
But everyone else told me to wait.
But don't just sit around
until the wait kills you.
It's not that hard yet.
Then good.
Staying sober is all up to your mentality.
What are you doing?
Thinking.
Come sit down.
Tell me how Jung Ji-ho has changed
your life.
What's this about?
Hurry up and list them, Ms. Jamie.
But there's just too much.
First of all, he brought us together.
And he allowed me…
to live as Choi Sang-eun, not Jamie.
He was also the first one
to love me for who I am.
And…
he taught me real love.
So why are you hesitating?
All that I had enforced on you was
so that you wouldn't
live a life like mine.
Because that was
the only way I knew how to love you.
If you've found someone
who can give you real love,
don't let him go.
I'm sorry, Sang-eun.
I'll be turning in a bit early today.
Good night.
Does he have something going on
in the evening?
He's been clocking out right on time.
His wife hasn't come back yet, has she?
No, I don't think so.
Gosh, while I'd like to do
something for him.
He's back to his old self.
It's hard to talk to him.
How about a team dinner?
Great idea!
-How about my auntie's place?
-That sounds good.
And…
maybe we can invite her too.
Who?
You mean Judge Jung's wife?
Come on, we can't do that.
That's personal stuff.
Let's just be there for Judge Jung
when he needs support.
You're right.
Mr. Jung.
Why did you do this?
Do you know how worried I was?
I was scared.
And I just didn't know how to face you.
But there was no reason
for you to be alone.
If you needed some time,
you could've honestly told me so.
I thought I'd done well
living these past 13 years
as Choi Sang-eun.
But…
seeing you get hurt
and broken because of me…
I just couldn't stand myself anymore.
I wondered if I wasn't
allowed to be happy.
I'm sorry for running away like that.
Thank you…
for coming back to me.
Have you been well?
No.
I reheated it, so go ahead and have some.
May I ask how you've been?
To tell you the truth,
because I wasn't sure
when you'd be coming,
I've been preparing myself.
In case you'd come through the door,
saying you're hungry…
So that you won't come home
to a cold, desolate place…
I'll be going home for the night.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
I made sure to come home early
in case you came back.
I even practiced drinking,
so you won't have to drink alone.
I wanted to come to you, but I waited.
Until you came to me.
I'd almost forgotten.
That I'm someone who can't be happy
without you, Mr. Jung.
I…
like you very much.
I like you too.
Let's eat.
I've always wanted to do this.
Just an ordinary date.
Just enjoying some coffee,
going for a walk, holding hands,
and having a face-to-face conversation.
I've been thinking,
and the reason I did what I did
was because I lacked trust in myself.
After I started doubting
whether I truly deserved your love,
there was nothing that I could do.
To tell you the truth,
I had the same dilemma.
I thought I wasn't good enough
for you to rely on me.
Which is why
I plan on really becoming
someone you can rely on.
What?
What is this?
The checklist for the wedding.
I've been thinking
that you may prefer a small wedding.
We should make it big.
With all the people you work with,
we can't invite some
and exclude others, can we?
Well, we could always limit it
to close acquaintances.
Wouldn't you find it a burden?
No, not at all.
Isn't the fact
that we'll be together from now on
more important than the wedding itself?
But the wedding matters too.
WEDDING HALL/HONEYMOON/WEDDING PACKAGE
Oh, how about
we hold the wedding next month?
Next month?
But we have to book a wedding hall
and find a place to live together too.
You can just move into mine
with your belongings.
But that would feel like
I'm living off you.
Oh, I never meant it in that way.
Anyway, let's have it next month.
And how about we leave the decoration
to your old contractors?
-All right.
-They were pretty good.
As for the "P.D.M"…
Photography, dress, and makeup?
That's my area of expertise,
so leave it to me.
Sure, I'll leave those to you, then.
And then…
There are so many decisions to make.
Will you really be okay with next month?
Right here!
This is the place I was talking about.
Isn't it just beautiful?
Oh, but there are two issues
with this venue.
The days are getting chilly,
so our guests may feel…
Oh, there's no need to worry about that.
They have heaters everywhere.
Another issue is
that compared to its size,
it's ludicrously expensive.
Oh, don't you worry about that.
I got married to Gwang-nam there, and…
You got married to him here?
Why don't we check out the next one?
Let's do that.
There are many good places.
Next April?
Can you not squeeze us in next month?
Oh, you're fully booked.
Okay. Thank you.
It'll be the same everywhere.
We'll have to wait for a cancellation.
Ms. Choi, of all the ones we've seen,
I like this one the best.
That's not for sale.
I've been wanting to ask you.
Who decorated your place?
The truth is, I left it to the experts.
-I thought so. Now follow me.
-But the design…
Wow!
You look dashing.
That's very nice.
But do you have another jacket
with a slimmer fit?
Yes, that one.
-Shall I change into that?
-Yes.
Something that's more for this season.
Another one?
Very nice.
Very nice, but…
I don't think that's quite his size.
Would you have any that's a better fit?
-Mr. Jung, can you…
-Oh, sure.
One more time?
Ms. Choi, I like this one.
Oh, but wouldn't you say
it's too out there?
-Do you think so?
-How about something more tame?
But I think I like this one.
Well, I like the ribbon right here.
Isn't that too boring?
For the guests, I mean.
But I don't think that one
suits our image.
Our bride is now ready.
Do you not like it?
You look beautiful.
Your face said otherwise.
-What?
-What's wrong with it?
I know you didn't like it.
-Oh no.
-Shall I go without this?
Something long-sleeved?
Perhaps another cut?
Maybe not a bell shape, but a mermaid?
-What?
-Can I try that other one again?
I don't think he likes this one.
Usually, you want to see, "Oh!"
But there was just no love in your eyes.
-Love in my eyes?
-Please wait.
What? But why…
Thank you.
Mr. Jung! You can't fall asleep here.
-We need to go.
-Go?
-Yes, we need to go.
-I see.
Come on. Let's go.
Are you tired?
Weddings are no joke.
But it's what you wanted.
I thought that maybe
you might want a wedding
that's all for you.
What do you mean?
I never wanted such a thing.
I assumed that you…
What?
But I thought you would want a wedding.
I'm not comfortable
with events involving a crowd.
But I thought you wanted one
because you had a list and everything.
In that case, Ms. Choi.
-Let's…
-Let's not have a wedding.
Would you be okay with that?
Yes, of course.
Do you think we were being
too considerate of each other?
Right now,
I feel like I've just had a wedding.
I'm so relieved.
But we should still invite some people
and thank them over dinner.
You mean,
like with that housewarming party?
No, it'll have to be bigger than that.
I think that may be better than a wedding.
I can manage that.
All that work was for nothing.
Then we should cancel
all the reservations.
Yes, of course.
Mom.
You're here.
You can't just sit out here.
You've got a whole pile of cups to wash.
We still have plenty of clean ones.
Can't you see that I have a guest?
Just wait.
And where did you
put your apron this time?
How has he not fired you?
This place was dead empty
when Choi opened it,
but when I stepped in
and changed the tea selections,
the sales went up by 300%.
How are the preparations going?
Oh, we decided
not to have a wedding at all.
Good.
I don't look very good in hanbok.
May I take your order?
I'll have a warm hibiscus tea.
Okay.
What the hell?
What's going on?
What do you mean?
Why are you here?
Do you live around here?
What are you on about?
I'm here to see you.
-Are you going somewhere?
-I'm off to see someone.
No, I mean abroad.
Oh.
Hey, sorry I didn't tell you.
But it just happened, okay?
You bastard.
Hey, What's with that look?
What's wrong with you?
Are you really going?
I asked you a question.
Shouldn't you have at least told me?
Hey, what's with you? This isn't like you.
I was hurt, you know.
I thought I'd finally made a friend.
This is not cool, okay?
Great, now I've made it awkward.
Don't get me wrong.
I don't mean it that way.
I know.
I'm sorry, Jung-han.
But that's why I couldn't tell you.
Let me ask you one last time.
I'll definitely make a star out of you.
I've been with Kang Hae-jin,
a top celebrity, for over five years.
So trust me
and give it a go.
Jeez, I really appreciate this.
-Hey, but…
-How long will you continue to hide?
Take a step forward.
You're wasting your talent.
Jung-han,
I've thought about this
for a long time now.
I'm sorry.
You called me on such short notice.
Where are we going?
To deliver coffee.
Deliver coffee?
Don't worry, you'll have fun.
You said you took the day off.
As a senior director,
are you allowed to do that?
I am taking a day off if I say I am.
Why would you deliver coffee yourself?
You'll see when we get there.
COFFEE'S ON KANG HAE-JIN!
HANG IN THERE EVERYONE!
Are these for the lighting team?
-Yes, you can grab those.
-Three for the makeup team, please.
Thank you.
Hey, Hae-jin! Thanks for the coffee.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
-Kang Hae-jin! Kang Hae-jin!
-Kang Hae-jin! Kang Hae-jin!
-We love you, Kang Hae-jin!
-Cut it out already.
And enjoy.
-It's your first time on a set?
-Yes. It's amazing.
That's the monitor,
and that's the director's seat.
That's where he watches
and gives directions.
Next time, I'll show you around the set.
There's more to see there.
Are you going back to acting?
Oh…
Now that I think about it,
I won't get to be on set again.
I just wanted to show you around
because you find it interesting.
Then please do invite me
when you go next time.
I thought I could have you this way.
Because you're mine!
Cut! Cut.
Looks like
you'll need to teach him, Mr. Kang.
You're good with emotional scenes.
I've done a fair share of comedy too.
I'm not so sure about you and comedies.
You do better with romance.
Romance isn't as easy as you think.
But you make it look so easy.
It's definitely your genre.
Either that or something dark.
You must really be my fan.
I keep telling you I am.
Why won't you believe me?
Well, you do make
some overly candid remarks.
True fans are subjective.
Real fans won't just say
they like everything.
Thanks.
Let's do another take!
From the previous scene this time!
How about a cup of tea?
I'll go with this one.
May I recommend something for you today?
Sure.
This one, then.
Thank you.
To be frank with you,
I am somewhat grateful to you
for playing a huge role
in pushing Kang Sun-jin
out of the spotlight.
But I am still worried
that you may continue to shake up Hae-jin.
Mr. Kang isn't that easy.
Ms. Yu…
is my birth mother.
But you probably knew.
You must've had
a pretty hard time yourself, Ms. Choi.
Yes, it was painful.
To live your life
the way someone else wants
is cruel.
I've lived for my mother's happiness
my entire life.
My goal in life was
to maintain her peace.
That's how I lived all my life.
To be honest with you,
when I first saw Mr. Kang,
he reminded me of my old self.
Ma'am,
does Mr. Kang look happy to you right now?
Before he loses his light…
I'd like you to stop here.
Did my son hire you to do this too?
To relay that message to me?
No.
I'm only asking you
as a friend of Mr. Kang.
He wants to…
hide the pain he suffers
because of his mother.
Please excuse me.
I wish you called ahead.
I have something to tell you.
I'd like you to go to the States.
-To the States?
-For about five years.
Go build some experience.
But dear…
how could you say that
without consulting with me?
How can we expect him to be a leader
without overseas experience?
Do as you're told.
Yes, sir.
How can you just comply?
He's telling you
to go to the US out of the blue.
For five years at that!
Hae-jin, tell me what you really want.
Do you want to go?
What are you doing?
Of course not.
But I know that's what I need to do.
Don't think about that.
What is it that you truly want to do?
What are you trying to say?
Come on, Mom.
But can I take it a bit slow?
In another two or three years?
What good are your smarts?
You lack determination.
You're swayed too easily.
Enough of this. Just go.
Hae-jin doesn't lack determination.
He can make his own decisions.
Have any of your children,
other than Hae-jin,
ever stood on his own
to build his business?
Have you lost it?
No, I haven't lost it!
Am I not allowed to say anything?
Kang Hae-jin.
What is it that you truly want?
Tell me.
Why are you acting like this?
Don't make Father angry.
I don't care
if he gets mad or divorces me.
That's my concern.
But you need to stop this.
And live the life you want.
That's what I came to tell you.
And you,
if you keep on walking all over Hae-jin,
I'll walk out on you!
What is with you?
We can just talk about it.
Why are you getting mad?
Because it's no use talking to you!
You're always
looking down on Hae-jin and me.
What are you on about?
When did I ever look down on you?
Don't touch me.
I don’t know anymore.
I'm done living like this.
How have you been?
Have you been eating all right?
My baby…
I'm glad I got to see you before I'm dead.
Don't say that now, Father.
Well, let's eat.
-Go on.
-Dig in.
-Have some of this too.
-You have some, Mom.
Go on.
Hey. Are you still working
at the Taekwondo center?
No, I quit.
Aren't you gonna find another job?
Why are you talking
to your brother like that?
I'm just making sure
he's living like a grown man.
Especially after that drama
with the wedding.
Stop it.
Hey. Ever since that woman made headlines,
Mom couldn't even go out
in public for a while.
It's okay, Gwang-nam.
I understand why you did what you did.
It's okay.
Find a proper girl next time.
I'm not getting remarried.
And as you might have guessed…
I like men.
So if I date anyone, it'll be--
How can you say that
in front of Mom and Dad?
Hey, how are you going to make
a living from now on?
I…
I raised him wrong.
You didn't raise me wrong, Mom.
I was just born this way.
Besides, I have aspirations and talent.
So can't you accept me for who I am?
No, we won't accept you for who you are.
You crazy punk.
Times may have changed,
but you can't live however you please!
Why are you making your life harder?
Do you realize
what Mom and Dad went through
-to raise you?
-Talk it out!
-Let him go!
-Hello!
Hi, my name is Yu Jung-han,
and I'm Gwang-nam's manager.
Manager?
You know Kang Hae-jin, don't you?
I'm from his agency,
and I'm currently responsible
for managing Gwang-nam.
Here's my business card.
After Hae-jin took off,
we see him as our next main talent.
Hello, sir.
As for this dinner,
I'll pick up the bill
under our artist budget.
Gwang-nam always was a good singer.
-A celebrity?
-It's an awfully famous agency.
Gwang-nam.
A singer?
Will you give me your answer now?
How did you know where I was?
I'm just that committed.
Have you made up your mind?
But…
will you be my manager?
So you'll do it?
Well, let's go out there.
We'll think about what happens later.
Thanks, Jung-han.
Hey, don't mention it.
But this is only the beginning.
And it won't be easy.
But I'll be there with you to the end.
My goodness, sir!
Please take good care
of our Gwang-nam for us.
I should be thanking you.
And please don't call me sir.
My goodness, he's so modest.
-Please take good care of him.
-Take good care of him, sir.
-Cut it out already.
-Goodness, please.
Have a nice day.
Hello…
I know what's going on.
Just go about your day.
How about a cup of tea?
So…
about the USB drive…
What I meant to say was…
hold on to it.
I'm thinking of donating everything
and retiring.
Goodness, why did I live so fiercely?
I never even allowed myself
time for something like this.
Come by sometimes.
Sure.
I'll do that.
-Welcome back.
-Hi.
Do you need this done by the end of today?
So…
Ms. Choi and I decided to live together.
Oh my!
Does that mean
you'll be getting married again?
Oh, we agreed not to hold a wedding.
No, that's disappointing.
How is it disappointing?
Anyway,
we'd like to invite you to our home.
Did you propose to her?
Yes, we decided to get married.
Yes, but did you propose to her?
What do you mean by…
I'm gonna lose it.
If you're getting married,
a romantic proposal would be great.
Yes, so we already agreed on marriage.
Exactly.
So now you're good to propose to her.
What kind of logic is that?
There's no logic to it.
Just consider it a mathematical formula.
-What?
-If you dig into it far enough,
I'm sure there's some logic.
Let's just say it's to avoid
a lifetime of recurring arguments.
-Right.
-That's not it.
We're not trying to pick a fight here.
It's just that there isn't supposed to be
any logic behind a proposal.
-I'm just saying…
-See, you're still trying to argue.
No, I'm not.
You just said there was no logic to it.
My mind was all over the place,
and I didn't get to thank you.
Thank you for everything.
Especially for helping my mom.
I really didn't do anything.
Of course you did.
If it weren't for you,
I would've been clueless until now.
I'm not sure if this is
the right way to put it,
but you were awesome.
You took the matter into your own hands.
The events of that day
have become a legend at Kangjin.
Really?
Hey, aren't you getting married?
Well, we decided not to hold a wedding.
We're just going to live together.
Really? You're coming back?
This agency is far too naive.
You're about to sign with Kang Hae-jin.
Well done, Hae-jin.
Jeez, I'd been so worried
because you'd lost so much weight.
What are you doing? You're all over me.
What is all that?
These are all the scripts
that have been waiting for you.
Romance,
adventure,
thriller.
I haven't signed yet, just so you know.
How do you like this place?
It's nice, isn't it?
Yes, you picked a lovely place.
I need to use the ladies' room.
Sure, go ahead.
No.
That's not it.
Jeez, there are other guests around.
Why make such a fuss?
Does it feel good to make it so flashy?
Marriage proposals should be concise.
Yes, and it has to be genuine.
Mr. Jung?
May we have you up there, please?
Today may have been
A strange and tiring day
But when the breeze caresses you
It all goes away as if you've forgotten
You'll be okay after all
Open it up
Knock on time's door
You became my light
And I'll be a warm spring's day for you
Be my light
And rest in my arms
You're the only one for me
You're the only one
Mr. Jung,
will you marry me?
Yes.
I will.
-Kiss him! Kiss him!
-Kiss him! Kiss him!
Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!
Ms. Choi…
Sang-eun.
Thank you for tonight.
How about we walk home?
Sure.
-Hey, Gwang-nam.
-Where are you?
Sleeping over at your hubby's?
No, I'm on my way home.
Bye.
I should've asked you first.
I'm sorry I was late.
"The flowers that bear many scars
are the most fragrant."
I think those words were meant for you.
Sang-eun.
Will you marry me?
Ms. Choi.
You're definitely meant to be an actor.
It was my mother
who pushed me to come back.
Can you believe it?
I wouldn't have believed it,
if it weren't for this.
But after seeing this photo, yes.
Wow.
When did she even take this?
By the way,
it doesn't seem like a huge production.
Didn’t you used to have
a hundred people on set just for you?
This is a film student's
graduation project.
I'm not too interested
in commercial projects anymore.
I'm also trying to study production.
Are you happy?
Yes, I am.
What's more,
I'm happy to be surrounded by those
who are even happier than I am.
Who's happier than you?
Look at that photo just now.
My fans.
The Kang Hae-jin Time.
So gorgeous.
I say this is the best one.
Yes, she's a beauty. She takes after me.
-How does that even make sense?
-Aren't these flowers beautiful?
They're nothing
compared to the one next to me.
Oh, hush.
Please gather around.
We have an announcement.
Instead of having a wedding,
we decided to invite those
who are dear to us.
We promise to live happily ever after.
But to be honest…
it feels rather strange.
While I'm extremely happy,
I'm also quite scared.
Marriage is like that.
It's a happy and scary thing.
Did it scare you?
You still scare me.
If it weren't for you,
I never could have
mustered up the courage.
But now that I have Sang-eun with me,
I promise to live
happily ever after with her.
Thank you.
Allow me to say
a few words of congratulations.
"A few words of congratulations."
I'm sorry.
Anyway, how about a toast
to congratulate the happy couple?
-Yes!
-Okay!
Wait, before we do that,
how about a group photo?
Please look at the camera.
All right, here we go.
I set the timer for ten seconds.
-Did you get everyone in?
-It's going to go off soon.
-How many seconds was that?
-Now?
-Here we go!
-You have to press…
-I think I closed my eyes.
-Sorry.
Let's take that again.
Are you okay?
Judge Jung, watch your steps.
Careful now!
-When is it going?
-You're blocking me.
Smile, now.
Four, three, two…
Ms. Choi, I mean…
Sang-eun, what's the time now?
What?
Gosh, what a mess.
Wow, when will we clean up all this?
Can't we call the contractors from before?
No, we should clean it up.
But my head hurts so badly.
I'm starving, babe.
Oh, you are?
Get some rest.
I'll go see if there's food.
Sure.
I want soup.
Gosh, this is nice.
Hey, what day is it today?
Today? Sunday.
Yes, this is how Sundays ought to be.
