You Are My Spring (2021) s01e16 Episode Script
Episode 16
1
You'll be receiving
your training in a month.
I wish I could fly as well.
-I know.
-How about you put me
in a huge suitcase--
No, thanks.
Then in a fridge--
No, thanks.
They say if you leave someone you love,
you'll be pining for them
after traveling only ten meters.
It's ten ri, not ten meters.
Why don't you look excited
to go to San Francisco?
The duration is longer than I thought.
Is this because of your boyfriend?
You won't be gone for that long.
It's not like you'll be gone
for five or ten years.
Not all goodbyes are sad.
Breaking up after falling out of love
is like stepping out of a tub
filled with lukewarm water.
It's relieving.
However,
to a new couple, a farewell is like
desperately waiting for some noodles
to cook for three minutes.
Then when it's finally done…
It's done now.
-Eat up. You're on an empty stomach.
-…you spill them.
It's that heartbreaking.
It says you're enlisting in the army.
What do you mean? I'm what?
EXCLUSIVE
PATRICK ENLISTING IN THE ARMY
Am I enlisting next week?
Yes.
Ms. Song didn't tell you?
So this is official?
Yes, it is.
I slept so well.
-Make sure you rate it five stars.
-Of course. Others need to suffer too.
It's a pity Young-do didn't come.
Let's encourage him
to watch it with Da-jeong.
Exactly.
Hello, I'm from Majin Cosmetics.
Please take this survey
and get a free couple's massage.
I'd call that a happy ending.
They went back to their everyday lives.
How is it a happy ending
when they still love each other?
It's the most upsetting ending
I've ever seen.
Both of them already had lovers.
It's only right to break up.
Love affairs are bound to end.
It's only right.
This is what you call
a beautiful farewell.
How can a farewell be beautiful?
Then? Should you break up every time
you develop feelings for someone else?
That's not what I mean.
The order could've gotten mixed up.
The first person you date
may not be your true love.
Even if you dated someone for ten years,
the next person you meet
could actually be your true love.
Let's go.
A beautiful farewell
could sound as ridiculous
as a toilet-scented diffuser,
an angled circle,
or a transparent rainbow.
We could've gotten the massage.
Is this why you hang out with me?
Then let's just go our own ways.
What?
But even such farewells
can only occur
between those who loved each other.
If your love was unreciprocated,
there's nothing you can do but watch.
Then there are those…
CHOI JEONG-MIN
…who can't even tell…
who's holding onto whom.
For them, even saying goodbye
is impossible.
It's been scientifically proven
that men suffer more
in a long-distance relationship.
Meanwhile, you'll be in a new environment
and meet new people.
Time will pass quickly for you,
but I'll be stuck here.
"Right.
This is where Da-jeong
made me feel embarrassed.
This is where
we had cup noodles together."
At least you have friends here.
You have your own friends,
Eun-ha, Cheol-do, and A-ri.
I'll have no one.
I'll be eating hamburgers all by myself.
And people will think
that I'm a very quiet, Korean woman.
I'll feel lonely
when I return to the hotel late at night.
Even if I want to call someone back home,
it'll be too late to call.
You'll be exhausted and fast asleep,
so we won't be able to talk.
Why not?
I won't sleep until you call me.
-Are you serious?
-Of course.
I didn't know.
Can you just not go?
I can't do that.
Being apart for five days
is just too long.
Tell me about it.
They must be out of their minds.
And now,
we must bid farewell
for a whopping duration of five days.
What is love?
What could it be
that it changed those two so drastically?
I thought Lavoisier
was just rambling nonsense.
But it's true.
Mass is neither created nor destroyed.
Lavoi… What?
Lavoisier,
and the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Oh, that.
Do you mean
how there are lunatics everywhere you go?
In this situation,
we're talking about being lovey-dovey.
The lovey-dovey couple disappeared,
but an even more lovey-dovey couple
took their place.
You're going to get it
all over your mouth.
-How is it?
-Sweet.
I want more.
What are you doing?
I think it's about time I quit.
This is where they live,
so I can't even kick them out.
A-ri…
Jeong-beom.
If you haven't been appearing
in my dreams
since you didn't want me to feel bad,
don't do that anymore.
Scold me about apprehending
the culprit so late.
ASSISTANT INSPECTOR LEE JEONG-BEOM
Nag me
about being messy.
And let's
grab a drink too.
I miss you.
Let's go.
If you think about it,
it's all because of Ian Chase.
But he's getting away with this?
-Darn it.
-This is exactly why
we need to vote for the right individual.
We need to vote
for someone who writes good laws
and is open to changing them too.
Gosh, I've been thinking
the same thing for the past 18 years.
But here's my conviction.
A culprit may not receive
legal punishment,
but karma will get to them.
I believe that.
As a doctor, what's your take on that?
I completely agree.
-Please change the grill.
-I'm sure you know this.
Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher,
once said, "When you stare into the abyss,
the abyss stares back at you."
I think Ian is the epitome of that.
Sir.
Someone's calling for you.
Sure. Hold on.
Coming.
You said he'd come back,
but what if he really resigns this time?
I'm worried too.
I think he really means it this time.
Eat up.
Gosh. I keep forgetting that I work here.
Silly me.
Thank you so much.
You were warm toward me when I suddenly
showed up at the station.
You also let me know
in advance when your men
were on a stakeout at the hotel.
Gosh, don't mention it.
I did what I had to do.
Rather, I should thank you
for taking great care of Young-do.
I'm just sad that you'll be resigning.
It's about time I quit. I have no regrets.
Eat up. Our meat is quite good.
Yes, sir. No, sir.
We'll go right now.
No, sir.
I'm with Detectives Ko and Choi.
We got a tip-off
on that Hongju 4-dong guy.
-If we go right now--
-Really?
Stop stuffing your mouth. Get up.
Eat up. Don't pay.
Mom, serve Young-do many delicious dishes!
No way.
I told you.
Don't worry and eat up.
Hey.
-Do you need any help?
-No.
I accidentally left
my phone on the rooftop.
-Can you bring it down if you have time?
-Sure. It won't take long.
-Yes?
-I just saw your missed call.
Are you feeling better?
You couldn't sleep well last night.
No, I slept well.
Wait, how would you know?
Hello?
You were tossing and turning
all night. Are you sure you slept well?
TAE-JEONG
All night?
You're going to come home
after work, right?
Hello?
Did you come down here for me?
What's wrong?
-What?
-Hello?
Hello?
Gosh!
Oh, no!
Da-jeong.
Da-jeong, listen.
-I--
-Your phone was ringing.
I saw "Tae-jeong."
Since that's my brother's name,
I just picked it up.
But he said
you guys were together all night.
Then he asked you to come home after work.
What is this?
Is this a prank?
Or is this someone else?
But he sounds exactly like my brother.
I was… I was going to tell you.
But because of your current situation…
Does that mean
when you folded your finger that time…
Yes.
What should I do?
-Mom…
-Da-jeong.
No. Listen. That's not it. So…
What should I do?
When…
No, don't tell me.
No, tell me. How did you…
No, don't.
Tell me just a bit.
No, don't. God, what should I do?
Da-jeong.
Well…
You see, last time--
I don't want to hear it.
No, make it quick.
No, don't.
I'll kill you if you do.
One time, she--
Shut up.
You told me to talk.
I'll talk.
That day when Jun-ho came,
I was frustrated and felt awful.
And you were at a meeting.
So I went to Mr. Ju
and poured my heart out.
But…
that didn't make me feel any better.
So…
I just walked.
I know that face.
-What?
-You're about to cry.
Is something up?
Even if that's the case,
it's too far in the past
for me to cry about it.
And I'm too old to cry.
The past can still hurt.
And you're not old.
Is it your dad?
Or your ex-boyfriend?
How do you know everything about me?
It's been 20 years already.
We've celebrated 20 birthdays so far.
And I've given you flowers
for middle school,
high school, and college entrance
ceremonies and graduations.
So I can easily tell
how you're feeling just by looking at you.
Don't make me emotional.
I might bawl my eyes out and become
your worst, impossible customer.
There's something I can do
for customers like you.
What are you doing?
You can bawl.
I need to close soon anyway.
Can I…
really do that?
Why does this seem like
a Greek tragedy?
What are you talking about?
We're not siblings.
It's so weird to hear you
call yourselves "we."
Wait.
Then when we went
to that tteokbokki place…
Was this you?
Hey.
EUN-HA, TAE-JEONG
What?
Did you guys go there too?
That's so fascinating.
Then we got into a relationship
on the same day.
That's when you started dating?
The day I went to the bar?
That was it?
That's the day we had our first kiss.
Why would you say that out loud?
No. My ears. Darn it.
-Can I go?
-Bye.
Can I?
-Sure.
-Goodbye.
Why would you say that
when I was scolding them?
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
-Come in.
-Okay.
No way.
-It's Seung-won. Hold on.
-Sure.
-What is it?
-Hey, where are you?
I'm a bit far away.
Want to help me write my proposal?
Why me?
The chief producer wants me to produce
a show called Land a Hit.
The host will meet
with people like Ma Dong-seok
and Kim Jong-kook and get hit.
Psychologically-speaking,
could this be cathartic?
-I'm hanging up.
-Hello?
Hey, are you with Da-jeong?
Why… Why did you hang up?
What a traitor.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
It's my mom. She's video-calling me.
Pick it up.
But we're the only ones here,
and we'll be spending the night.
Right. I'll sit here. Go on.
Hey, Mom.
Where are you?
-You're not home.
-No.
I'm on a trip.
Our building is closed for renovation.
But it's just you and Young-do?
-Where are the others?
-What?
Why do you say that?
Should we turn off our phones today?
Really? Would that be okay for you?
Let's give it a try.
-One, two, three.
-Two, three.
-Are you anxious?
-No, I'm not.
I bet you're worried
that someone may need your help.
You don't need to turn it off.
I'll give it a shot.
I'll turn it on if I'm too anxious.
Good.
What should we do?
Shall we go for a walk?
-A walk?
-Yes.
-Do you want some ice cream?
-Sure.
Hello.
-Here.
-Okay.
-Here you go.
-Thank you.
They still sell tangerines?
Oh, those?
A customer had bought them on the train.
Take one each.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
No problem.
-Which one?
-This one.
Okay.
Yes!
We got it!
You put this on top.
How adorable.
There are no trash cans.
That's a pity.
Did you forget
that it's our 100th day together?
Of course not. I got something for you.
-Ta-da.
-I'm in trouble.
This is my laundry.
Can I give this to you later?
I need to go to the toilet.
Sure. Be quick.
I should buy a cake.
I'm not sleeping.
Are you imitating those dads
who say, "I'm not sleeping"?
Is that it?
Why do you guys do that?
My mom's the same way.
If you fall asleep with the TV on,
you can usually still hear
since you're in REM sleep.
But if someone switches the channel,
you're stimulated
by the change in TV sounds.
That's why you wake up.
In such cases,
you should gradually lower the volume
then switch to another channel.
I see.
I'm fully awake thanks to you.
Let me help you sleep again.
A long time ago
there lived Ju Young-do and Kang Da-jeong.
They went on a trip,
ate some tangerines, watched some TV,
played Patty Cake, and had a load of fun.
The end.
That was a little boring.
A long time ago
there lived Ju Young-do and Kang Da-jeong.
They went on a trip,
ate some tangerines, watched some TV,
and…
…kissed each other.
They had a load of fun.
That sounds fun.
Right?
Young-do, I'm here.
Are you still sleeping?
Young-do.
Young-do.
How did you know my passcode?
-I--
-Get out.
Did I come too early?
-Just leave for now.
-Let me take a short nap.
A beast is snoring in the night-duty room.
Sleep in my office.
That couch is more comfortable.
Okay? So go.
Come back next time, okay?
Did he startle you?
Is he gone?
Yes. I'm sorry.
You didn't change your passcode?
I did.
Don't tell me
you changed it to my birthday.
I didn't think he'd know the lunar date.
What if
I didn't go to Jeong-min
in a fit of rage?
What if
I had told the truth on the day
I witnessed the first murder?
What if
I didn't look for Hwang Jae-sik?
What if he was abandoned,
neglected,
abused,
and died trying to fight back?
Would you still cry for him?
If you mean something evil…
by "fight back," then no.
What ifs
don't matter if it has already passed.
Okay.
EUN GI-JUN'S BLACK RADIO
I have some sad news today.
Today was our last episode with Dr. Ju.
Would you like to say something
to our listeners…
Especially those who are going
through a hard time?
Feel free to say anything.
The person I like…
Do you mean your girlfriend?
Yes.
She introduced
the movie Taste of Cherry to me.
A suicidal man is driving,
then he picks up an old man.
That old man tells him his story.
He says he once climbed a tree,
intending to commit suicide.
That's when he spotted a cherry.
He ate it,
and it was so sweet and delicious.
The sun shone brightly,
and the children were so beautiful.
That's why
he decided to live.
What happened to that suicidal man?
He probably had a change of heart.
That cherry saved his life.
To be precise,
talking with the old man saved his life.
Let's be frank. "The world is beautiful,"
and "you must live,"
are obvious things to say.
Gosh. I'm sorry.
It's all done.
-Do you need a plastic bag?
-No, I can carry them.
And…
They're for you.
I know how it feels to work at night.
You can do it.
Thank you.
Hello, sir.
Sir, your change.
Sir.
You gave me 50,000 won.
Here's your change.
And…
Someone gave this to me.
You look really drunk.
Be careful.
Goodness.
You should give that to me,
not throw it away.
Some people struggle to make ends meet.
It's yours.
I don't need it anymore.
But still…
That's not right. Take it.
Please.
-Take it.
-But…
Gosh, what's taking them so long?
Be patient.
-That's how
-Are you in a rush?
you save a life.
No.
"I will listen to you.
I'm willing to have
a conversation with you.
I won't leave you all alone.
I'll watch over you."
For those who have no hope
-and want to give up,
-Babe.
-Look.
-seeing a twinkling light…
What's wrong with him?
-Being watched from afar,
-What is he doing?
-or a slight brush of a finger
-Is he okay? Should we report him?
is more than enough.
Someone on the radio said
just watching could save lives.
Take out your phone, and let's wait.
Sir! Are you okay?
I often compare psychiatry clinics
to noodle restaurants.
Some prefer spicy buckwheat noodles,
while others prefer
cold buckwheat noodles or Hamheung-style.
We all have different tastes.
Psychiatrists are the same way.
Some are excellent at diagnosing,
while others prioritize prescriptions.
Then there are those
who are good at giving advice.
Even if the first clinic
you go to doesn't suit you,
don't lose hope.
Please give it another chance
and visit a few more.
I was the shadow,
not you.
And it was also me
who clung onto you.
I took them all for granted.
Waking up in the morning
and going to bed at night.
The cool breeze and the blue sky.
My heart that beat without stopping
and my healthy legs.
There was a time
when I had taken them all for granted.
JU YOUNG-DO, KANG DA-JEONG,
MUN MI-RAN, KANG TAE-JEONG
The pain you felt
in difficult relationships
and the sadness you felt in passing ones.
I'll be here for a very long time,
so come whenever you want.
Goodbye. I hope you come back.
There was a time
when I failed to appreciate
those little moments.
Your boyfriend, Patrick,
recently enlisted in the army.
And in your upcoming movie,
you're a soldier.
Was this intentional?
Of course not.
It just happened.
Since I play the role
of a princess in a drama,
I wanted to play
a completely different role.
But most of all, I chose the role
because I knew I'd have a blast.
-What's going on?
-Sorry.
Damn it!
Damn it.
Calm down.
Sir.
Listen carefully.
Put down that knife.
-Are you okay?
-What?
Yes.
Yes. I'm fine.
I'll call Detective Ko.
Okay.
-What?
-Let go!
-Get Detective Ko!
-Good job.
-Call him!
-Come back. Let's have something good.
-Call Detective Ko, you bastard!
-Bye.
Let me go! I said, let go!
Damn it.
I'll remember you!
I know the law! I'll only get six months!
I'll remember your face! You just watch!
Gosh.
If he wins a singing contest in prison,
he's bound to mention my name.
It's not my fault you failed
to run away and got caught twice.
I can't resign
because of bastards like you.
-A-ri.
-Yes?
Do you have an older sister?
I do. Why?
Remember when you tried
to hook Da-jeong up with a guy?
I was wondering if you had anyone for me.
Are you saying you want
a blind date with my sister?
Yes.
Come to think of it,
I don't have a sister.
I'm an only child.
-Hello.
-Hey.
Where's Eun-ha?
She went to get some coffee beans.
She must've gone all the way
to Ethiopia since she's not here.
I see.
Eun-ha, I'm here.
Can you come down later…
Da-jeong, it's not what it looks like.
Da-jeong.
What…. What are you thinking about?
Wait.
-You're wrong.
-You're wrong.
-She's wrong.
-Right.
My eyes…
My poor eyes…
Come on!
I told you we shouldn't do it here.
This was the only place available.
Should we continue?
What are you talking about?
HA-NEUL VETERINARY CLINIC
How did you become a relationship virgin?
Who… Who said that?
The man upstairs said
that he had a girlfriend
and that you were the relationship virgin.
You see, I'm actually very…
Anyway, the real one is someone else.
Do you remember seeing a guy
with whipped cream on his face?
Yes. Do you mean that weird guy?
Correct.
Right?
Young-do, please.
-Did he change the passcode?
-The person you are trying to…
Young-do.
Young-do, pick up.
Young-do.
Please pick up.
Is he not home?
THOUSAND WON
One of the toughest symptoms of depression
is morbid lethargy.
Don't try too hard to explain it
to anyone, not even yourself.
Just like how
we run a fever when we catch a cold,
you can't get out of bed
simply because you're sick.
"Am I breathing well?
I am. That means I'm doing fine."
Think like this.
However, taking medication
on time is of utmost importance.
-Ms. Kim Jeong-ok is not picking up.
-Please leave a message
-I'm getting redirected to voicemail.
-after the beep.
Give it to me.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
I'm Oh Mi-kyeong, a nurse.
I work at Ju Young-do Psychiatry Clinic.
We called because you missed
your appointment today.
If you can't come,
we'd be more than happy
to help you over the phone.
Feel free to call us whenever you want,
and we'll help you.
That startled me.
The entrance.
His desk.
Come up.
Hello?
Come on up.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
Oh, dear.
I was a fish looking for the ocean
that was already around me.
I believed I'd find happiness
and feel at peace one day.
Were you waiting for me?
I didn't want you to get lost.
The fact that I'm breathing
is enough proof that I'm doing well
despite not shining brightly all the time.
You're the one who taught me this.
That's why…
What did you do today?
Do you remember that kid
whose drawing you analyzed?
Yes.
He returned to Canada.
I see.
He had grown on me, so I was really sad.
But he seemed
a bit excited to see his mom again.
It must've hurt.
That's why I need
some consolation right now.
Here too.
Did anything special happen today?
I can't quite remember.
But one thing for sure
is that I need a great amount of comfort.
I don't think that's enough.
I'm going to do my utmost best
to live as long as possible.
You reached out your hand to me
during the painful change of seasons.
You are my spring.
Even if another painful change
of seasons comes our way,
I will reach out my hand to you,
without a doubt,
every single time.
I am your spring.
Letting someone into your heart means
that your heart can be
easily broken by them.
It also means you won't
let go of them despite knowing that.
I don't want to get hurt.
I want to change, and I will.
But that's who I am right now.
Nevertheless,
I want to be happy.
Don't tell me if you don't want to.
But if you want to…
Anytime.
Getting heartbroken isn't a metaphor.
You merely can't see the wound.
But the injury is real.
If I were to compare this
to a car accident,
this person's arms, legs, and ribs
would all be broken.
"Get up and walk. Why are you
lying in bed?" You can't say that.
You're still hanging in there.
I want to say you're doing so well.
But you merely fell.
You were rushing
to not keep your friend waiting.
In late spring.
The night crazy spring snow fell.
With the crazy weather as an excuse,
some spread their wounded wings again.
And some fluttered their wings
that had been folded for a very long time.
And the butterflies flew.
You can avoid puddles
and prevent fires together.
It doesn't have to be suffocating.
It can be nice and breezy.
You'll get to
experience that soon.
It means although they couldn't
embrace your pain,
they want to give you a warm hug
for overcoming those painful days.
It's the most comforting thing to hear.
Are you okay now?
Are you not hurting anymore?
I knew the reason
for your tears and your embrace.
"I felt so bad for you that
I couldn't just leave you behind."
That night, you embraced
the foolish me who dared
to lose you
because I was scared to hurt you.
In a two-hour movie,
"forever" means two hours.
I think that's enough.
"Don't blame yourself for what happened.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I bet your mom is grateful to you
for growing up into…
a strong woman
after experiencing something so scary."
No matter how awful my relationship was,
it still gave me a beautiful gem like you.
You are the only proof of that.
I can do it all over again too.
I can get slammed
by a rhino and fall again.
I can do all of that again.
For those who have no hope
and want to give up
seeing a twinkling light…
Being watched from afar,
or a slight brush of a finger
is more than enough.
"Maybe it all started
when that trembling wildflower
met a fence
and was comforted by a small, round candy.
I think that's when…
I fell in love with you."
You are
my spring.
WISHING A WARM SPRING
FOR THOSE IN BITTER SEASON
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
YOU ARE MY SPRING
Subtitle translation by: Soo-ji Kim
You'll be receiving
your training in a month.
I wish I could fly as well.
-I know.
-How about you put me
in a huge suitcase--
No, thanks.
Then in a fridge--
No, thanks.
They say if you leave someone you love,
you'll be pining for them
after traveling only ten meters.
It's ten ri, not ten meters.
Why don't you look excited
to go to San Francisco?
The duration is longer than I thought.
Is this because of your boyfriend?
You won't be gone for that long.
It's not like you'll be gone
for five or ten years.
Not all goodbyes are sad.
Breaking up after falling out of love
is like stepping out of a tub
filled with lukewarm water.
It's relieving.
However,
to a new couple, a farewell is like
desperately waiting for some noodles
to cook for three minutes.
Then when it's finally done…
It's done now.
-Eat up. You're on an empty stomach.
-…you spill them.
It's that heartbreaking.
It says you're enlisting in the army.
What do you mean? I'm what?
EXCLUSIVE
PATRICK ENLISTING IN THE ARMY
Am I enlisting next week?
Yes.
Ms. Song didn't tell you?
So this is official?
Yes, it is.
I slept so well.
-Make sure you rate it five stars.
-Of course. Others need to suffer too.
It's a pity Young-do didn't come.
Let's encourage him
to watch it with Da-jeong.
Exactly.
Hello, I'm from Majin Cosmetics.
Please take this survey
and get a free couple's massage.
I'd call that a happy ending.
They went back to their everyday lives.
How is it a happy ending
when they still love each other?
It's the most upsetting ending
I've ever seen.
Both of them already had lovers.
It's only right to break up.
Love affairs are bound to end.
It's only right.
This is what you call
a beautiful farewell.
How can a farewell be beautiful?
Then? Should you break up every time
you develop feelings for someone else?
That's not what I mean.
The order could've gotten mixed up.
The first person you date
may not be your true love.
Even if you dated someone for ten years,
the next person you meet
could actually be your true love.
Let's go.
A beautiful farewell
could sound as ridiculous
as a toilet-scented diffuser,
an angled circle,
or a transparent rainbow.
We could've gotten the massage.
Is this why you hang out with me?
Then let's just go our own ways.
What?
But even such farewells
can only occur
between those who loved each other.
If your love was unreciprocated,
there's nothing you can do but watch.
Then there are those…
CHOI JEONG-MIN
…who can't even tell…
who's holding onto whom.
For them, even saying goodbye
is impossible.
It's been scientifically proven
that men suffer more
in a long-distance relationship.
Meanwhile, you'll be in a new environment
and meet new people.
Time will pass quickly for you,
but I'll be stuck here.
"Right.
This is where Da-jeong
made me feel embarrassed.
This is where
we had cup noodles together."
At least you have friends here.
You have your own friends,
Eun-ha, Cheol-do, and A-ri.
I'll have no one.
I'll be eating hamburgers all by myself.
And people will think
that I'm a very quiet, Korean woman.
I'll feel lonely
when I return to the hotel late at night.
Even if I want to call someone back home,
it'll be too late to call.
You'll be exhausted and fast asleep,
so we won't be able to talk.
Why not?
I won't sleep until you call me.
-Are you serious?
-Of course.
I didn't know.
Can you just not go?
I can't do that.
Being apart for five days
is just too long.
Tell me about it.
They must be out of their minds.
And now,
we must bid farewell
for a whopping duration of five days.
What is love?
What could it be
that it changed those two so drastically?
I thought Lavoisier
was just rambling nonsense.
But it's true.
Mass is neither created nor destroyed.
Lavoi… What?
Lavoisier,
and the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Oh, that.
Do you mean
how there are lunatics everywhere you go?
In this situation,
we're talking about being lovey-dovey.
The lovey-dovey couple disappeared,
but an even more lovey-dovey couple
took their place.
You're going to get it
all over your mouth.
-How is it?
-Sweet.
I want more.
What are you doing?
I think it's about time I quit.
This is where they live,
so I can't even kick them out.
A-ri…
Jeong-beom.
If you haven't been appearing
in my dreams
since you didn't want me to feel bad,
don't do that anymore.
Scold me about apprehending
the culprit so late.
ASSISTANT INSPECTOR LEE JEONG-BEOM
Nag me
about being messy.
And let's
grab a drink too.
I miss you.
Let's go.
If you think about it,
it's all because of Ian Chase.
But he's getting away with this?
-Darn it.
-This is exactly why
we need to vote for the right individual.
We need to vote
for someone who writes good laws
and is open to changing them too.
Gosh, I've been thinking
the same thing for the past 18 years.
But here's my conviction.
A culprit may not receive
legal punishment,
but karma will get to them.
I believe that.
As a doctor, what's your take on that?
I completely agree.
-Please change the grill.
-I'm sure you know this.
Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher,
once said, "When you stare into the abyss,
the abyss stares back at you."
I think Ian is the epitome of that.
Sir.
Someone's calling for you.
Sure. Hold on.
Coming.
You said he'd come back,
but what if he really resigns this time?
I'm worried too.
I think he really means it this time.
Eat up.
Gosh. I keep forgetting that I work here.
Silly me.
Thank you so much.
You were warm toward me when I suddenly
showed up at the station.
You also let me know
in advance when your men
were on a stakeout at the hotel.
Gosh, don't mention it.
I did what I had to do.
Rather, I should thank you
for taking great care of Young-do.
I'm just sad that you'll be resigning.
It's about time I quit. I have no regrets.
Eat up. Our meat is quite good.
Yes, sir. No, sir.
We'll go right now.
No, sir.
I'm with Detectives Ko and Choi.
We got a tip-off
on that Hongju 4-dong guy.
-If we go right now--
-Really?
Stop stuffing your mouth. Get up.
Eat up. Don't pay.
Mom, serve Young-do many delicious dishes!
No way.
I told you.
Don't worry and eat up.
Hey.
-Do you need any help?
-No.
I accidentally left
my phone on the rooftop.
-Can you bring it down if you have time?
-Sure. It won't take long.
-Yes?
-I just saw your missed call.
Are you feeling better?
You couldn't sleep well last night.
No, I slept well.
Wait, how would you know?
Hello?
You were tossing and turning
all night. Are you sure you slept well?
TAE-JEONG
All night?
You're going to come home
after work, right?
Hello?
Did you come down here for me?
What's wrong?
-What?
-Hello?
Hello?
Gosh!
Oh, no!
Da-jeong.
Da-jeong, listen.
-I--
-Your phone was ringing.
I saw "Tae-jeong."
Since that's my brother's name,
I just picked it up.
But he said
you guys were together all night.
Then he asked you to come home after work.
What is this?
Is this a prank?
Or is this someone else?
But he sounds exactly like my brother.
I was… I was going to tell you.
But because of your current situation…
Does that mean
when you folded your finger that time…
Yes.
What should I do?
-Mom…
-Da-jeong.
No. Listen. That's not it. So…
What should I do?
When…
No, don't tell me.
No, tell me. How did you…
No, don't.
Tell me just a bit.
No, don't. God, what should I do?
Da-jeong.
Well…
You see, last time--
I don't want to hear it.
No, make it quick.
No, don't.
I'll kill you if you do.
One time, she--
Shut up.
You told me to talk.
I'll talk.
That day when Jun-ho came,
I was frustrated and felt awful.
And you were at a meeting.
So I went to Mr. Ju
and poured my heart out.
But…
that didn't make me feel any better.
So…
I just walked.
I know that face.
-What?
-You're about to cry.
Is something up?
Even if that's the case,
it's too far in the past
for me to cry about it.
And I'm too old to cry.
The past can still hurt.
And you're not old.
Is it your dad?
Or your ex-boyfriend?
How do you know everything about me?
It's been 20 years already.
We've celebrated 20 birthdays so far.
And I've given you flowers
for middle school,
high school, and college entrance
ceremonies and graduations.
So I can easily tell
how you're feeling just by looking at you.
Don't make me emotional.
I might bawl my eyes out and become
your worst, impossible customer.
There's something I can do
for customers like you.
What are you doing?
You can bawl.
I need to close soon anyway.
Can I…
really do that?
Why does this seem like
a Greek tragedy?
What are you talking about?
We're not siblings.
It's so weird to hear you
call yourselves "we."
Wait.
Then when we went
to that tteokbokki place…
Was this you?
Hey.
EUN-HA, TAE-JEONG
What?
Did you guys go there too?
That's so fascinating.
Then we got into a relationship
on the same day.
That's when you started dating?
The day I went to the bar?
That was it?
That's the day we had our first kiss.
Why would you say that out loud?
No. My ears. Darn it.
-Can I go?
-Bye.
Can I?
-Sure.
-Goodbye.
Why would you say that
when I was scolding them?
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
-Come in.
-Okay.
No way.
-It's Seung-won. Hold on.
-Sure.
-What is it?
-Hey, where are you?
I'm a bit far away.
Want to help me write my proposal?
Why me?
The chief producer wants me to produce
a show called Land a Hit.
The host will meet
with people like Ma Dong-seok
and Kim Jong-kook and get hit.
Psychologically-speaking,
could this be cathartic?
-I'm hanging up.
-Hello?
Hey, are you with Da-jeong?
Why… Why did you hang up?
What a traitor.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
It's my mom. She's video-calling me.
Pick it up.
But we're the only ones here,
and we'll be spending the night.
Right. I'll sit here. Go on.
Hey, Mom.
Where are you?
-You're not home.
-No.
I'm on a trip.
Our building is closed for renovation.
But it's just you and Young-do?
-Where are the others?
-What?
Why do you say that?
Should we turn off our phones today?
Really? Would that be okay for you?
Let's give it a try.
-One, two, three.
-Two, three.
-Are you anxious?
-No, I'm not.
I bet you're worried
that someone may need your help.
You don't need to turn it off.
I'll give it a shot.
I'll turn it on if I'm too anxious.
Good.
What should we do?
Shall we go for a walk?
-A walk?
-Yes.
-Do you want some ice cream?
-Sure.
Hello.
-Here.
-Okay.
-Here you go.
-Thank you.
They still sell tangerines?
Oh, those?
A customer had bought them on the train.
Take one each.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
No problem.
-Which one?
-This one.
Okay.
Yes!
We got it!
You put this on top.
How adorable.
There are no trash cans.
That's a pity.
Did you forget
that it's our 100th day together?
Of course not. I got something for you.
-Ta-da.
-I'm in trouble.
This is my laundry.
Can I give this to you later?
I need to go to the toilet.
Sure. Be quick.
I should buy a cake.
I'm not sleeping.
Are you imitating those dads
who say, "I'm not sleeping"?
Is that it?
Why do you guys do that?
My mom's the same way.
If you fall asleep with the TV on,
you can usually still hear
since you're in REM sleep.
But if someone switches the channel,
you're stimulated
by the change in TV sounds.
That's why you wake up.
In such cases,
you should gradually lower the volume
then switch to another channel.
I see.
I'm fully awake thanks to you.
Let me help you sleep again.
A long time ago
there lived Ju Young-do and Kang Da-jeong.
They went on a trip,
ate some tangerines, watched some TV,
played Patty Cake, and had a load of fun.
The end.
That was a little boring.
A long time ago
there lived Ju Young-do and Kang Da-jeong.
They went on a trip,
ate some tangerines, watched some TV,
and…
…kissed each other.
They had a load of fun.
That sounds fun.
Right?
Young-do, I'm here.
Are you still sleeping?
Young-do.
Young-do.
How did you know my passcode?
-I--
-Get out.
Did I come too early?
-Just leave for now.
-Let me take a short nap.
A beast is snoring in the night-duty room.
Sleep in my office.
That couch is more comfortable.
Okay? So go.
Come back next time, okay?
Did he startle you?
Is he gone?
Yes. I'm sorry.
You didn't change your passcode?
I did.
Don't tell me
you changed it to my birthday.
I didn't think he'd know the lunar date.
What if
I didn't go to Jeong-min
in a fit of rage?
What if
I had told the truth on the day
I witnessed the first murder?
What if
I didn't look for Hwang Jae-sik?
What if he was abandoned,
neglected,
abused,
and died trying to fight back?
Would you still cry for him?
If you mean something evil…
by "fight back," then no.
What ifs
don't matter if it has already passed.
Okay.
EUN GI-JUN'S BLACK RADIO
I have some sad news today.
Today was our last episode with Dr. Ju.
Would you like to say something
to our listeners…
Especially those who are going
through a hard time?
Feel free to say anything.
The person I like…
Do you mean your girlfriend?
Yes.
She introduced
the movie Taste of Cherry to me.
A suicidal man is driving,
then he picks up an old man.
That old man tells him his story.
He says he once climbed a tree,
intending to commit suicide.
That's when he spotted a cherry.
He ate it,
and it was so sweet and delicious.
The sun shone brightly,
and the children were so beautiful.
That's why
he decided to live.
What happened to that suicidal man?
He probably had a change of heart.
That cherry saved his life.
To be precise,
talking with the old man saved his life.
Let's be frank. "The world is beautiful,"
and "you must live,"
are obvious things to say.
Gosh. I'm sorry.
It's all done.
-Do you need a plastic bag?
-No, I can carry them.
And…
They're for you.
I know how it feels to work at night.
You can do it.
Thank you.
Hello, sir.
Sir, your change.
Sir.
You gave me 50,000 won.
Here's your change.
And…
Someone gave this to me.
You look really drunk.
Be careful.
Goodness.
You should give that to me,
not throw it away.
Some people struggle to make ends meet.
It's yours.
I don't need it anymore.
But still…
That's not right. Take it.
Please.
-Take it.
-But…
Gosh, what's taking them so long?
Be patient.
-That's how
-Are you in a rush?
you save a life.
No.
"I will listen to you.
I'm willing to have
a conversation with you.
I won't leave you all alone.
I'll watch over you."
For those who have no hope
-and want to give up,
-Babe.
-Look.
-seeing a twinkling light…
What's wrong with him?
-Being watched from afar,
-What is he doing?
-or a slight brush of a finger
-Is he okay? Should we report him?
is more than enough.
Someone on the radio said
just watching could save lives.
Take out your phone, and let's wait.
Sir! Are you okay?
I often compare psychiatry clinics
to noodle restaurants.
Some prefer spicy buckwheat noodles,
while others prefer
cold buckwheat noodles or Hamheung-style.
We all have different tastes.
Psychiatrists are the same way.
Some are excellent at diagnosing,
while others prioritize prescriptions.
Then there are those
who are good at giving advice.
Even if the first clinic
you go to doesn't suit you,
don't lose hope.
Please give it another chance
and visit a few more.
I was the shadow,
not you.
And it was also me
who clung onto you.
I took them all for granted.
Waking up in the morning
and going to bed at night.
The cool breeze and the blue sky.
My heart that beat without stopping
and my healthy legs.
There was a time
when I had taken them all for granted.
JU YOUNG-DO, KANG DA-JEONG,
MUN MI-RAN, KANG TAE-JEONG
The pain you felt
in difficult relationships
and the sadness you felt in passing ones.
I'll be here for a very long time,
so come whenever you want.
Goodbye. I hope you come back.
There was a time
when I failed to appreciate
those little moments.
Your boyfriend, Patrick,
recently enlisted in the army.
And in your upcoming movie,
you're a soldier.
Was this intentional?
Of course not.
It just happened.
Since I play the role
of a princess in a drama,
I wanted to play
a completely different role.
But most of all, I chose the role
because I knew I'd have a blast.
-What's going on?
-Sorry.
Damn it!
Damn it.
Calm down.
Sir.
Listen carefully.
Put down that knife.
-Are you okay?
-What?
Yes.
Yes. I'm fine.
I'll call Detective Ko.
Okay.
-What?
-Let go!
-Get Detective Ko!
-Good job.
-Call him!
-Come back. Let's have something good.
-Call Detective Ko, you bastard!
-Bye.
Let me go! I said, let go!
Damn it.
I'll remember you!
I know the law! I'll only get six months!
I'll remember your face! You just watch!
Gosh.
If he wins a singing contest in prison,
he's bound to mention my name.
It's not my fault you failed
to run away and got caught twice.
I can't resign
because of bastards like you.
-A-ri.
-Yes?
Do you have an older sister?
I do. Why?
Remember when you tried
to hook Da-jeong up with a guy?
I was wondering if you had anyone for me.
Are you saying you want
a blind date with my sister?
Yes.
Come to think of it,
I don't have a sister.
I'm an only child.
-Hello.
-Hey.
Where's Eun-ha?
She went to get some coffee beans.
She must've gone all the way
to Ethiopia since she's not here.
I see.
Eun-ha, I'm here.
Can you come down later…
Da-jeong, it's not what it looks like.
Da-jeong.
What…. What are you thinking about?
Wait.
-You're wrong.
-You're wrong.
-She's wrong.
-Right.
My eyes…
My poor eyes…
Come on!
I told you we shouldn't do it here.
This was the only place available.
Should we continue?
What are you talking about?
HA-NEUL VETERINARY CLINIC
How did you become a relationship virgin?
Who… Who said that?
The man upstairs said
that he had a girlfriend
and that you were the relationship virgin.
You see, I'm actually very…
Anyway, the real one is someone else.
Do you remember seeing a guy
with whipped cream on his face?
Yes. Do you mean that weird guy?
Correct.
Right?
Young-do, please.
-Did he change the passcode?
-The person you are trying to…
Young-do.
Young-do, pick up.
Young-do.
Please pick up.
Is he not home?
THOUSAND WON
One of the toughest symptoms of depression
is morbid lethargy.
Don't try too hard to explain it
to anyone, not even yourself.
Just like how
we run a fever when we catch a cold,
you can't get out of bed
simply because you're sick.
"Am I breathing well?
I am. That means I'm doing fine."
Think like this.
However, taking medication
on time is of utmost importance.
-Ms. Kim Jeong-ok is not picking up.
-Please leave a message
-I'm getting redirected to voicemail.
-after the beep.
Give it to me.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
I'm Oh Mi-kyeong, a nurse.
I work at Ju Young-do Psychiatry Clinic.
We called because you missed
your appointment today.
If you can't come,
we'd be more than happy
to help you over the phone.
Feel free to call us whenever you want,
and we'll help you.
That startled me.
The entrance.
His desk.
Come up.
Hello?
Come on up.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
Oh, dear.
I was a fish looking for the ocean
that was already around me.
I believed I'd find happiness
and feel at peace one day.
Were you waiting for me?
I didn't want you to get lost.
The fact that I'm breathing
is enough proof that I'm doing well
despite not shining brightly all the time.
You're the one who taught me this.
That's why…
What did you do today?
Do you remember that kid
whose drawing you analyzed?
Yes.
He returned to Canada.
I see.
He had grown on me, so I was really sad.
But he seemed
a bit excited to see his mom again.
It must've hurt.
That's why I need
some consolation right now.
Here too.
Did anything special happen today?
I can't quite remember.
But one thing for sure
is that I need a great amount of comfort.
I don't think that's enough.
I'm going to do my utmost best
to live as long as possible.
You reached out your hand to me
during the painful change of seasons.
You are my spring.
Even if another painful change
of seasons comes our way,
I will reach out my hand to you,
without a doubt,
every single time.
I am your spring.
Letting someone into your heart means
that your heart can be
easily broken by them.
It also means you won't
let go of them despite knowing that.
I don't want to get hurt.
I want to change, and I will.
But that's who I am right now.
Nevertheless,
I want to be happy.
Don't tell me if you don't want to.
But if you want to…
Anytime.
Getting heartbroken isn't a metaphor.
You merely can't see the wound.
But the injury is real.
If I were to compare this
to a car accident,
this person's arms, legs, and ribs
would all be broken.
"Get up and walk. Why are you
lying in bed?" You can't say that.
You're still hanging in there.
I want to say you're doing so well.
But you merely fell.
You were rushing
to not keep your friend waiting.
In late spring.
The night crazy spring snow fell.
With the crazy weather as an excuse,
some spread their wounded wings again.
And some fluttered their wings
that had been folded for a very long time.
And the butterflies flew.
You can avoid puddles
and prevent fires together.
It doesn't have to be suffocating.
It can be nice and breezy.
You'll get to
experience that soon.
It means although they couldn't
embrace your pain,
they want to give you a warm hug
for overcoming those painful days.
It's the most comforting thing to hear.
Are you okay now?
Are you not hurting anymore?
I knew the reason
for your tears and your embrace.
"I felt so bad for you that
I couldn't just leave you behind."
That night, you embraced
the foolish me who dared
to lose you
because I was scared to hurt you.
In a two-hour movie,
"forever" means two hours.
I think that's enough.
"Don't blame yourself for what happened.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I bet your mom is grateful to you
for growing up into…
a strong woman
after experiencing something so scary."
No matter how awful my relationship was,
it still gave me a beautiful gem like you.
You are the only proof of that.
I can do it all over again too.
I can get slammed
by a rhino and fall again.
I can do all of that again.
For those who have no hope
and want to give up
seeing a twinkling light…
Being watched from afar,
or a slight brush of a finger
is more than enough.
"Maybe it all started
when that trembling wildflower
met a fence
and was comforted by a small, round candy.
I think that's when…
I fell in love with you."
You are
my spring.
WISHING A WARM SPRING
FOR THOSE IN BITTER SEASON
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
YOU ARE MY SPRING
