[sweet airy music]
[sucks in breath]
Oh, things I hate?
It's still Kook Yeon-su.
And I can give you over ten reasons why I hate her.
[Ung] First off, as I'm sure you know, she can be so selfish.
Yeon-su, you think we can see your notes from our last class?
[girl 1] I hear that it's gonna be on the test.
[sighs]
And you're the only one who took notes.
Our test's tomorrow. Can't you help us out?
[girl 2] Besides, we'll give it back right away.
[sighs]
[cheeky music]
[paper rustling]
There, I don't have my notes anymore.
Can you two go now?
-I knew she was really stuck-up. -Gosh.
[girl 1] Man, she's so unbelievable.
[groans]
Hello, I'm Kook Yeon-su, and I'm the team leader of Group 2.
-674 DAYS OF DATING -And my team is…
THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV
GROUP 2 KOOK YEON-SU
-…it's just me. -[shocked mumbling]
Let me start the presentation.
[Yeon-su] I will be making a presentation on Book 12, or "A Judicial Error."
[Ung] And she doesn't have that much…
I mean, she has no social skills at all.
FEBRUARY 20, 2012 215 DAYS OF DATING
[groans]
Come on, let's drink more today.
Don't worry, I'll take you home. It'll be okay.
And what made you think you'll take me home?
Well, I can drink better than you.
-You can't be sure of that. -Hey, come on, I'm a guy after all.
Let's see, then.
-What? -Let's see who can drink more.
[Ung] She tries to win at everything.
You really mean it?
[customer] More drinks, please. Two beers.
Hey, wait, look, we only came here to have some fun, didn't we?
Drink up.
[cheery music]
All right. You win, that's far enough.
[Ung] This competitive spirit of hers is so useless.…
You know, sometimes you don't act like a senior.
It's so ridiculous.
Is that all you have to show off? Being my senior? Is that all, huh?
-[guy] Looks like we coddled you. -"Coddled me"? When did you ever do that?
What do you think I am? Your dog, huh? What am I, your granddaughter?
What the hell did you say?
-I'm sorry. She's just a bit worked up. -Why would you apologize? Move.
-Why don't you say that again? -[Ung] She picks fights
with nearly everyone.
Move it.
[Ung] And don't get me started on how stubborn she is.
Have you lost your mind? Why would I get a haircut like that?
Why not? It looks all right.
Do you really think curly hair would suit me?
-Why don't you look like this then? -I'm sorry?
Do his hair like this.
His hair is too short. I won't be able to do this hairstyle.
No, it's all right. Just make sure you do it.
Hey, wait a second, it's my hair, you know.
Since yesterday, my ideal type has been someone who can pull this off.
I'm not doing this.
Please, do what you can.
FAITH HAIR SALON
[sighs]
[Ung] She's a psychopath
who has to do whatever she wants, no matter what I said.
Can't you take the day off?
[Yeon-su] I can't. It's not even something that important anyway.
Today's the last day to see the cherry blossoms.
This is our last chance. It'll rain tomorrow.
Why would we go all that way just to see cherry blossoms?
-And besides, there's next year. -What?
But that's what you said last year. So why not go this year?
And they're the prettiest right before they start falling too.
[Yeon-su] Why would you see flowers that are about to fall?
They don't even have a scent
so they're just useless flowers with bunched-up petals.
[sighs deeply]
[Ung] And more than that, she has no sense of romance at all.
Hmm… So how many are left?
-Hey, Yeon-su! -Yes?
-Hey, you said you'd eat lunch with me. -Oh, right.
Go eat with your friend. I have to go to the library to fix my assignment.
What?
I came to school to have lunch with you when I didn't even have class.
Just eat with him. This assignment's important.
-Bye. I'll text you later. -Hey.
[Ung] She always has important stuff to do.
I hate that she only thinks about herself.
Is she your girlfriend? Oh, so that's her.
She's famous in our school.
She's pretty and all, but her personality is…
[sighs] How can you date someone like her?
Hey, do you even know anything about Yeon-su?
-What? -Don't talk about her like that.
You don't know anything.
[Ung] And here's another thing I hate…
AUGUST 31, 2011 42 DAYS OF DATING
[light music]
-This… -Mm-hmm.
And this. They'll be on the test, so go over them.
And read through this at least three times, okay?
-Okay. -I'm going to check.
[Ung] …that is only I know one side of Yeon-su
that nobody else knows.
[Yeon-su] This is way more fun than hanging out with Ung,
-I'll tell you that much. -[both chuckle]
[Yeon-ok] Ung isn't really a fun guy to hang out with, right?
[Yeon-su] He can be a real snore sometimes.
-"A snore"? -Oh, we call boring people "snores."
-[Yeon-ok] Oh. -Mom. I can hear everything.
[Yeon-ok] Mr. Snore has good ears, though.
-[Yeon-ok] Thank you so much, Mr. Snore. -Of course.
-[Yeon-ok] Let's eat before we continue. -[both chuckle]
FEBRUARY 20, 2012 215 DAYS OF DATING
-Hop on. -[grunts]

[light sweet music]
JUNE 4, 2012 320 DAYS OF DATING
If you guys ever do that to Ung again, I won't let it slide.
Did you think I wouldn't notice you ordering him around like an errand boy
just because he's too nice?
If you ever do that to him again,
I'll show you how crazy I can really be.
APRIL 1, 2013 621 DAYS OF DATING
[sighs]
So why did you wanna see me?
-[Yeon-su] Are you upset? -Who? Me?
-No way. Why? Should I be, huh? -[scoffs]
[Yeon-su] We eat lunch together all the time,
-so why get upset over one meal? -Well…
-It's not exactly just one meal. -Were you counting? That's so petty.
Petty? Did you just call me petty? [groans]
Hey. What's up?
[gentle sweet music]
[Yeon-su] Here are the cherry blossoms. We saw them.
[Ung] She showed this side of her only to me.
So I can't help but love her.
And the ninth reason…
She makes me love her…
but then just when I'm about to love her even more…
Why do we have to break up?
[Ung] When I think I couldn't be any happier…
You always break up with me first.
[Ung] …she would take me to the highest of places first…
Am I the easiest thing to throw away of all the things you have?
No.
[Ung] …and then she pushes me off.
But you're the only one…
that I can get rid of.
[soft somber music]
[Ung] She is so cruel.
["There For You" by Kim Na Young playing]
["There For You" by Kim Na Young continues]
What if I had stopped behaving childishly?
Would you have stayed with me?
If you were being sincere back then, tell me, what would you have done?

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU
EPISODE 3
IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS IT'S BLOWING UP AGAIN
[Sol-i] I'm a friend of Yeon-su.
She does have a bad temper, but she's kind.
And to be honest,
Choi Ung's the one who usually gets a rise out of people and picks fights.
[scoffs]
[Eun-ho] What? Choi Ung's just a bit weird.
But he isn't the type to pick fights. You're making it up.
[quirky music]
[Sol-i] Do you even know the guy?
"Just a bit weird"? I think he's very weird.
You're the one who's making things up.
[Eun-ho] You're ridiculous.
You'd be shocked if you knew how he's doing lately.
He's really successful, you know.
He's a famous artist. Jeez.
-[groaning] -Hey, Ung, did you get some sleep?
[Eun-ho] Is there a mosquito here?
[Sol-i] What's he doing, then?
I'm sure he won't be as successful as our smart Yeon-su.
[scoffs]
[Eun-ho] He was only pretending to be dull.
He's earning loads of money, and he's a successful…
-Hey. What are you doing? -[crackles]
[groans]
[sighs]
[Eun-ho] But he might have the brains of a mosquito.
[clears throat] Hey…
Eun-ho, how's my schedule looking?
Nothing much except your exhibit. Why?
-Really? -Wait.
Are you going to do the drawing show?
Hey, why don't you get me some more work to do? I've rested for too long.
All of a sudden? You said you wanted to take things slow.
I need a distraction.
-What? -You're not
going to stay cooped up in your room working like before, are you?
No, I won't. I won't do that again.
But get me a lot of work.
And I'll think about the drawing show. It's still a maybe.
All right then.
But Ung, you have to get plenty of sleep too.
Your insomnia seems to have gotten worse.
[sighs deeply]
I guess it's still summer after all.
YOU'D BE SHOCKED IF YOU KNEW HOW HE'S DOING LATELY
COMMENTS
-[Yeon-su] What's up? -Hmm?
It's nothing.
-Hey, Sol-i, I… -Hmm?
Never mind. Forget about it.
[chuckles]
You know, they say there are two ways to make people go crazy.
The first is to stop in the middle of a sentence, and--
I met Ung a while ago.
Well, what I meant to say was, I went to see him.
You? Why? What for?
-Wait, do you still-- -No way!
There was someone I had to meet.
It was supposed to be for a project at work,
and it turned out to be him.
-[gasps] -[Yeon-su] Funny, huh?
Is this real?
Why him, though? What's he doing now?
Is he really successful, as people say?
Well, I don't know how he lives, but it looks like he did succeed.
Wow. The guy who was always lying down in the shade?
Wow, life is full of surprises, isn't it?
And so? How did it go?
-What did? -[Sol-i] You know.
How was it seeing him again?
-I really didn't feel anything. -[scoffs]
Hey.
You're obviously lying. I can tell, you know.
I mean, when someone so much as says the name of my ex,
I can feel my heart drop to my feet.
There's no way you felt nothing then.
Don't you have way too many exes to feel that, though?
Oh, shut up. Anyway,
being way too cool about that isn't normal.
Well, I really am cool about it.
You know I don't hold grudges or anything.
[phone buzzing]
Yes, hello?
Kim Ji-ung?
What? What do you want me to do?
[set chatter]
[Ung] Kook Yeon-su! You psycho!
[chuckles softly]
-[NJ] I mean, look. -[Mi-yeon] Looking at that again?
Go-oh was acting all quiet and nice.
Kook Yeon-su! You psycho!
He's cute I guess, but he looks a bit dumb, huh?
I know, right? So how can I resist a cute, simple guy like him?
COMMENTS NJGODDESS
That's a nice username you've got there.
But why did he film something like that?
I don't know. But the guy sure is full of surprises.
[NJ] There's no way he can bore me.
[chuckles softly] Where's Chi-seong?
Oh, the CEO called him.
Why? What's going on?
What is it? Just tell me.
I think it's because of your live video. The one from yesterday.
What about it?
[Mi-yeon] People who don't even know you at all
must've spread rumors about you being depressed or on some hard drugs.
There were some articles about it.
If our CEO calls, you or Chi-seong can just tell me right away.
I'm gonna go now. [sighs]
Okay.
[phone buzzing]
Just turn it off.
[Mi-yeon] All right.
[gasps]
-Wait, who is it? -"Choi Un--"
[gasps] He called me.
[crew] All right. Let's get back to filming!
Could I just have five min… I mean, ten minutes?
[phone continues buzzing]
MR. CHOI UNG
[clears throat]
[steadying breath]
MR. CHOI UNG
Hi, I'm sorry I answered a bit late, but I was busy with my shoot.
What did you wanna talk to me about?
Hello, you there?
Mr. Choi?
[quirky music]
MR. CHOI UNG
-[spraying] -[phone buzzing]
[Ung] Yes, hello?
[NJ] Why did you hang up so quickly? That was so rude of you.
-It was the first time you called me. -Oh, did I? Sorry.
Yes, and I can't believe you hung up on me.
-[chuckles awkwardly] -So why did you call me?
Well, that thing you asked for last time. Drawing your buildings and…
Oh, so you'll do it?
Yes, but then…
I've always drawn whatever I wanted to,
I've never gotten a request from anyone before.
I think I'll be able to decide after seeing your buildings.
Sure, that's all right.
Well then, why don't we go see them now?
Well, I think I'll be busy today.
And aren't you busy on your shoot too?
-I am, but I'm not. -What?
Anyway, I'm busy, but I'm not too. So tell me, when are you free?
Oh, then I'll get back to you after checking my sched.
Shouldn't I be the one telling you I'll check my schedule?
[NJ] I'm the celebrity here. This kinda feels wrong.
NJ! The director says we have to start filming.
Anyway, get back to me later. And it'd better be real soon, got it?
I hate it when people say they'll contact me and take a long time.
Bye, then.
-Alright. -[phone chimes]
Holy mother of… [groans]
[Eun-ho] You told me to get you more work.
But then I catch you calling NJ yourself when I'm your manager!
Oh, jeez.
Are you really pissed off about that?
What? Seriously?
Wow! You're unbelievable, man!
I can't believe you've really changed, Ung.
Now that you're contacting NJ in person,
you think you're a hot shot artist or something?
Is that how you see yourself now?
Well, a word of advice, you're gonna get a lot of hate.
Both from me, and NJ's fans.
Trust me when I say that everyone's going to hate you now.
-[spraying] -Shut up, man.
I've got a job for you to do.
What is it? Are you going to meet NJ now?
Should I get the car?
[Eun-ho] I'm your manager,
not your slave. You understand?
Did you hear me? Gosh, do I really have to do this?
[Ung] If you have a conscience, you'd do what I tell you.
Do I have to remind you how many days you've stayed in my house?
Seriously? Come on, I can't believe you kept count.
It was only a few days and--
[Ung] Hey, hey. You completely emptied my fridge, remember?
You're like locust on a farm.
Whenever you visit, all the food in my house magically disappears.
You think I can file a claim for all that?
I'll take care of the backyard then. [chuckles]
Make sure you pull out all the weeds and spread the cement over there.
-Get a professional for that! -[Ung] Hey.
The whiskey on my shelf disappeared too.
You know, I happen to be a cement professional too.
Where should I start?
Hey, Ji-ung.
[scraping]
What's up?
[Ji-ung] Let's film.
-What? -[Ji-ung] You have to do it.
[groaning sigh] Please, stop annoying me.
I need to do it. And that means so do you.
What are you on about?
-Did Dad tell you to film me? -No, that's not it.
You and Yeon-su.
Just like before. A documentary.
[cheeky tense music]
-[Ung] No way. -Why not?
Are you crazy? Do you really think I'd film that with her?
He's right. Those two filming another documentary together?
It'll only take about a month, and I'll film you myself.
Why are you suddenly trying to film all that again?
Listen. As you know, those videos are gaining popularity again.
And we're thinking of filming a youth documentary
while they're all still trending. And you're perfect for it.
And most of all, those videos are gonna be fun.
It's awesome material.
Yeah, very fun. I'm really pumped for them.
Guys. You know how I broke up with her all those years ago.
How can you ask me to do that now?
Well, it's already been a long time.
-Unless you still have feelings for her? -[Ung scoffs]
I don't have any feelings left. [groans]
I don't even wanna see her again. Better not to bother anymore.
That means you do have feelings left.
I'm not doing it.
To be honest, I think this is gonna be a very fun project to work on with you
because of your past relationship.
Why don't you watch those videos again? There are so many comments,
and you've become so popular online because of it.
Are you a sociopath? Are you trying to use me?
And is she even up for it? I'm sure she isn't.
I already talked to her.
So what…
What did she say?
She started cursing at me, so I had to back down a bit.
[scoffs] At least we agree on something.
Anyway, I'm still not doing it.
That's just nonsense, man.
[sighs]
[door closes]
Well, good luck convincing him any further.
He has an amazing offer,
but he's hesitating because Yeon-su's gonna be involved in it.
Really?
Then they can work together and film together too, right?
-[sighs] -[Eun-ho] But what if they do that,
and Ung starts getting feelings for her again?
He suddenly asked me to get him a lot of work recently.
I'm really worried for him.
[inhales]
Maybe his feelings got complicated after meeting her again like that.
[shudders] He can't go back to his old habits.
You saw how he was then.
It was crazy.
Can you go through that again?
Don't you remember?
-[Ung screaming] -[Eun-ho] He was totally crazy
the first few months after they broke up.
5 YEARS AGO JUNE 20, 2016
-[panting] -[Eun-ho] Hey, Ung!
[Eun-ho] Come on, man! Let's go home. Get a grip already!
Eun-ho.
Do you know the thing that Yeon-su hates the most?
[Eun-ho] What?
Getting drunk
and making a scene late at night.
[Eun-ho] Oh, my gosh.
[screaming]
[Eun-ho] Jeez. You're driving me crazy.
Ung, come on, it's late!
Hey, where are you…
-[Ung screaming] -Where are you going! Oh, darn it!
[Eun-ho] He did everything that Yeon-su hated back then…
JUNE 22, 2016
[panting]
Hey, what is it this time? What do you think you're doing?
Another thing she really hates.
Buying random stuff while I'm totally plastered.
Why would you nag me when I'm buying stuff with my own money?
[Eun-ho] …and ran around like a crazy dog that night.
-[alarm ringing] -JUNE 23, 2016
[groans]
[groaning]
Ung, wake up.
-I don't wanna. -You have an exam today.
-Get up already. -And another thing…
What was that? What did you say?
I'm not going to school
not the day after you drink.
What did you say?
It's the thing that Yeon-su hates the most.
[Eun-ho] He was acting like he had completely given up on life.
AUGUST 3, 2016
[soft gentle music]
[Ji-ung] Weren't you the one who told him about investing in stocks?
[Eun-ho] I read on the internet that stocks help you get over a breakup.
Stocks during the day and exercise at night
leaves you no time to think.
[Ji-ung] Oh, well, I guess it was a bit effective.
He was busy doing part-time jobs making up for all the money he lost.
-One, two! All right, ready? Here we go! -[upbeat music plays]
One, two! One, two!
One, two! Two, two!
[Eun-ho] Thanks to me, he exercised a lot back then,
he managed to stayed healthy.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2016
[whooshing]
[soft somber music]
But, somehow despite that…
he still seemed miserable,
-even when he was so busy. -[deep sigh]
And after that, the same patterns repeated several times.
[Eun-ho] Mom.
And then, that period finally began.
He still hasn't come out yet?
[gasps]
[loud knock on door]
Choi Ung. You have to snap out of it.
I'm counting to three, then I'm just gonna break in.
One, two, three!
[soft sigh]
[soft gentle music]
[Eun-ho] And so if we do put Yeon-su right next to Ung once again…
wouldn't that be too disastrous?
[sighs deeply]
[soft gentle music]
[Ung] Why does she live such an exhausting life?
-[chuckles] -Early birds just get tired earlier.
[Yeon-su] Hurry up!
[Ung] Jeez.
COMMENTS
HE'S LIKE A SQUID
UNG IS SO CUTE
[Ji-ung] You see?
It's nice seeing compliments like that, right?
Stop pretending to be asleep. I already saw you.
[sighs]
Anyway, why don't you think about it?
Once you see all the videos, you might just change your mind.
I know that I did.
And also…
-Never mind. -[groans]
You know…
I think that Yeon-su hated the idea more than you did.

I'm just saying.

Choi Ung skipped study hall and ran away again.
[Yeon-su] I think he's trying to ruin his own life.
-Wow, I was so young. -[Yeon-su] What can I do now?
[gasps] My skin used to be so elastic.
Hurry up!
[distant chatter on radio]
[sighs]
[Ung] Kook Yeon-su is really good at exhausting people.
Why does she have to live such an exhausting life?
I think even early birds get tired earlier than her.
That's right, I'm still living an exhausting life right now.
[Ung snoring]
What will he be when he finally grows up?
We can sleep all we want when we're dead.
I'm sure he'll be lazy for his entire life. You can count on it.
[Yeon-su] But then he became a famous artist after all.
Life really is unfair sometimes.
[chuckles softly]
["Drawer" by 10CM playing]
[chuckles softly]
Oh?
IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS ALREADY I WONDER WHAT THEY'RE UP TO
THIS IS WHAT BEING YOUNG IS ALL ABOUT
THEY'RE SO YOUNG AND INNOCENT LIKE SUMMERTIME
[Ung] I thought you were a ghost!
[Ung and Yeon-su] "I guess you might say this is what being young is all about."
"They're so young and innocent, like summertime."
"It's something only the youth can have."
[water gushing]
["Drawer" by 10CM continues]
Sorry.
Hey! Hey!
-[chuckling] -No! I said I'm sorry!
[chuckles] Sorry!
Hey.
[both laughing]
Hey, you! No running in the halls.
Hey!
Kook Yeon-su! You psycho!
["Drawer" by 10CM playing]
Oh, damn it. Why did Ji-ung have to bring it up again?
-[groans] -[thuds]
[groans in pain]
[Yeon-su] I won't even see him again. That's all right, I guess.

But the problem is…
[soft whirring]
[awkward music]
[engine starting]
[awkward music continues]
I never once ran into him
during the past five years, but then on that day…
[engine humming]
[yelps in surprise]
-[crashing] -[woman] Oh, my goodness.
[groans in pain]
[grunts, pants]
[awkward music]
[Ung] But, then…
we keep running into each other. It was so strange.
[groans]
["Squabble" by Ha Sung Woon playing]
Oh. Wait. I left my crutch!
-Just wait a minute, sir. -[brake squeals]
Are you fucking kidding me?
[Yeon-su] Maybe it could happen once or twice.
[gasps]
[Ung] Excuse me.
[Ung] How is this even possible?
["Squabble" by Ha Sung Woon continues]
[bag tears]
[long sigh]
Why the hell is this happening?
["Squabble" by Ha Sung Woon playing]
[scoffs]
-[Ung] Oh. -[stifled chuckle]
[Ung] Why in the world is this happening to me?
[Ung sighs]
The paper bags here, they're really so…
[objects rattle]
Hey, are you following me around?
Why would you think something like that?
Then what are you doing here in my neighborhood, huh?
Hey, this is near my house too, you know.
But didn't you move?
So? Do you even know where I live now?
Hey. Does this even make sense?
We never ran into each other for the past five years.
If it bothers you, then go somewhere else.
What's that?
[scoffs] You're the one who seems bothered.
Maybe you should go somewhere else.
[Yeon-su] And he's still as childish as he ever was back then.
What? Not me, why would I?
You mean nothing to me. Why the heck should I be bothered?
[Ung] How in the world is she this skilled at annoying the hell out of me?
[groans]
You. You're lingering around me because of that project, aren't you?
And you're hoping I'll change my mind about it.
Oh, that? You don't need to worry about it anymore.
We're getting another artist instead.
What? Who?
There's this artist named Nu-a who's pretty popular--
[chuckles]
Hey, Nu-a's just a total knockoff.
You know he's always just copying my drawing style.
Well, I'm sure the public will find out who's copying who very soon, I think.
In fact,
Nu-a's art is much better than yours.
Hey, come on, don't say that.
Hey, where are you going? I'm not done here.
Well, you seem to be bothered by me, so I'm doing my best to avoid you.
Hey, I'm not.
And you really shouldn't work with Nu-a, all right? You'll regret it later on.
Just find some other artist to work with.
-Hey, just listen to me. Hey! -[thuds]
Oh, oops. My bad.
It went all the way over there. So go get it.
-Hey, Kook Yeon-su! -I can be childish too, you know.
[Yeon-su] I should've done this earlier.
Feels great.
-What? -It was supposed to be Go-oh.
He said he'll cancel the contract if you're working with Nu-a instead.
You said you found Go-oh.
Why are you changing the artist all of a sudden?
[awkward groan]
Well, I know that Nu-a is also a popular artist these days.
And I think the art style suits Soen Shop very well.
And Nu-a seemed to want to work with us too.
Yes, I know, but he said he only wants Go-oh.
Why? Did he ask for too much money?
-[I-hun] Was his price too steep? -[sighs]
Well, you see, it's…
Yeon-su. The plan was going well already. What's going on?
You know how important this project is for our company, right?
Everyone is relying on you for this.
[sighs deeply]
Darn it. Well, if he wants more than our budget,
then write up a new estimate for him.
I'll try to make it work, but just get it done.
[sighs]
[Yeon-su] Why does everything have to be messed up like this?
[gentle music]
[Yeon-su groaning]
Ever since Choi Ung popped up again, things have been going downhill.
[phone buzzing]
Goodbye, sir.
Mm. All right. Take care.
[distant telephone rings]
[sighs deeply] Where is this jerk?
I haven't seen him all day.
Where in the world did that guy run off to anyway?
He said he's trying to cast the people from the documentary.
Is that so?
Well, did he have any luck?
He never reports his progress to me.
He never fails when he sets his mind on something.
[Dong-il] I guess.
That's why I can't scold him.
But why did he…
suddenly decide to do the documentary in the first place?
He spent days browsing through old videos.
I guess he got interested after doing that.
He watched everything?
[chuckles]
Hey, you know what?
I did a good job of filming.
There are so many fun behind the scene cuts on those clips.
So you say he watched everything, huh? That's kind of adorable.
Come to think of it, I hadn't thought of it before,
Ji-ung was pretty cute when he was in high school.
I remember when he appeared on the screen,
I recall he would freeze.
[chuckles]
By the way, why do you always ask me about Ji-ung anyway?
What?
Everyone keeps asking me about Ji-ung, not just you.
Oh. Well, I mean…
Because you know the most about him.
-Don't you? -What?
Everyone always asks you first when they're looking for Ji-ung.
Didn't you notice that happening?
-[Chae-ran] Why though? -It's obvious.
[cheeky tense music]
Should I tell you what Ji-ung was like in high school?
-Well, if you're not curious… -You can tell me if you're bored instead.
[Dong-il clears throat]
[sighs]
Looking at Ji-ung…
always reminds me of my old high school days.
So I have to tell you about my high school days first.
Why did Ms. Kook suddenly get off work so early?
She probably went to Go-oh to talk about our new project.
Well, at least, we got to get off work early.
Well then, you guys wanna get drinks?
Oh, no. I'm on a diet right now. Mm.
What?
No way. hey, isn't that Ms. Kook?
Oh!
[Myeong-ho] Don't tell me she got off early to go on a date?
Wow, they look so good together, don't they?
[Ye-in] I can't believe she's actually dating.
Wait, there's no way.
-That's impossible. -What's so impossible about it?
To be honest,
-I was shipping her with someone else. -What do you mean by that?
Is she going somewhere? What's going on? Come on, tell us.
[groans] No, that's not what I meant, you guys.
I mean, I thought that she would end up dating
Mr. Jang over anybody else.
What? Her and Mr. Jang?
What are you trying to say?
[chuckles] I have a bit of a sixth sense
when it comes to stuff like this, you know.
Something's going on between Ms. Kook and Mr. Jang.
It's so juicy, I can almost smell it.
And they do look good together, don't they?
Come on, how can you say that?
They've always been at each other's throats.
But that's how romance begins, you crazy fools.
-Oh, you're so clueless. -No, I'm not.
Wait a sec, haven't you been proven wrong?
We just saw her with that guy.
Oh, well, I don't think we can know for sure yet.
I have to keep watching them.
Then how about we discuss all that
over some thin pork belly on a hot grill then?
Didn't you hear what I said? I'm on a diet right now.
Didn't you hear what I said? Thin pork belly on a hot grill.
[groans]
Well, I guess thin slices are okay.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
-Come on. -[music ends]
I think you're just wasting your time with this.
I told you I won't do it.
Still, you have to give me a reason.
Don't you know already?
It's Choi Ung. Why would I do any of that with him?
Well, why not? There's nothing between you two anyway.
You don't have lingering feelings left, do you?
Did you come here just to make jokes with me?
That childish method won't work on me. So try that on Choi Ung.
[scoffs]
-I knew it wouldn't work. -Then why did you come all the way here?
It's still my job to get you on board, that's why.
If that method doesn't work,
I'll have to use another approach.
Fine. I'm sure I won't change my mind,
but I'll listen to what you have to say. Go on then.
Why do you think
people decide to star in a documentary when it's all about themselves?
Oh. Well…
To promote their businesses, or maybe…
Oh, yeah? I'm sure most of them don't have businesses to promote.
For the pay, then.
You get paid for them. That's why I did it back then.
Then you should know it's not that huge of a sum, right?
Are you telling me to come up with a reason?
I'm always honest when I'm casting people.
"There's only one thing we can give to you.
But we know it'll be worth it.
We are recording a fraction of your life just for you."
When I say this, most people seem to think that it's no big deal
and what I do doesn't really matter at all.
But then…
after we finish filming them,
and when they finally see the video themselves,
then they realize what it really meant.
[Ji-ung] They get to realize
how precious it is to be able to capture and store a moment in their lives.
And that's why it's actually easier for me to convince you specifically
to film an interview than it is with others.
You've had those records before, right?
Then you'll know what will fit best.
You have a part of the summer when you were still 19.
Now tell me the truth.
Does that really mean nothing to you?
[inhales, hums]
I guess…
Did you see the other videos?
No.
You and Ung are not so different from each other, you know?
[Ji-ung] Why are you both so hesitant to watch those videos?
To be honest, way back then
I really thought that all of this meant nothing.
But when I looked through the videos, I had a realization
you and Ung, the two of you
are the most suited for our youth special documentary.
[soft gentle music]
You're good with words, Ji-ung.
Respect.
But sorry, you've failed to convince me. So I won't do it.
[slurps]
Oh, well.
What?
-Is that it? -[soft sigh]
I have never failed at casting people.
That means I have another plan.
-[mischievous music] -That makes me feel uneasy.
Will you tell me if I ask you what you're doing?
[inhales]
It's about Ung…
[mischievous music continues]
I can't let her work with Nu-a.
There, you see? You should have thanked her and accepted her offer
when she wanted to work with you then. What were you thinking, huh?
Why would I thank you? I'm not crazy.
Grown-ups should know how to keep their personal life separate from work.
Everyone's nagging me about that as if everyone can do it so well.
Wow, you're such a loser. Unbelievable.
Ung, be honest with me.
You want Yeon-su to come and beg you to work with her, don't you?
You're doing this because you wanna see her begging you,
even if this is all just because of work, am I right?
[gulps, sighs]
-She'll never do that. -See? That's what I mean!
If you know that, why are you even doing all of this?
Honestly, you sound like the one picking fights with her.
It's so annoying, man.
Pretending she doesn't feel anything, that she doesn't care.
[Yeon-su] What? Not me, why would I?
You mean nothing to me. Why the heck should I be bothered?
She was always like that.
Oh, that? You don't need to worry about it anymore.
We're getting another artist instead.
There's this artist named Nu-a who's pretty popular…
She's so selfish and always so full of herself.
And yet, she still won.
Just go and say that you agree, and you'll do the project.
If you wanna do it, of course they still have to decide to do it with you or not.
Hey, wait a second, why would I ever do something that would help her?
I should be doing stuff that she hates instead.
[groans]
[intense music]
[Ung] I just had an idea.
[intense music continues]
[Eun-ho] What's that face? I have a bad feeling about this.
That's right.
I should be doing stuff that she hates.
[Ung] That'll be a great way to win over Kook Yeon-su.
Uh, I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm gonna stop you right there.
Hey, Eun-ho.
I have some work for you to do.
What? I already spread all that cement.
Not that. I meant, I want you to work as my manager.
Your what? NJ?
Is this work for NJ? Can I really look forward to it this time?
-[cheerful music] -[chuckles]
[Ung] Why didn't I think of this before?
[music stops]
[beeps]
[chimes]
[sighs]
[exhales] He's a total player. I'm sure of it.
[sighs]
[NJ] Why do guys always say that they'll contact you, but never do so?
He said he would, he said that he would contact me first
so that I could even contact him.
But it's been days already, and he still hasn't contacted me.
Why in the world is he acting like this? He even told me he was my fan…
[sighs]
He said he liked me when we first met.
But why isn't he contacting me? What's going on?
[phone beeping]
[woman 1] Don't you know the answer? He's not into you.
[woman 2] I don't think he's interested in you.
[woman 3] He's keeping you on the hook, that's all.
[woman 4] He could just be pretty cautious maybe.

WENT DRINKING WITH UNG
[annoyed scoff] He's drinking and having fun,
but not making the effort to even try calling me.
No, I can't.
I can't press "like" on a non-celebrity's account.
[sighs]
[gentle comforting music]
[Ung] All right, all right, man, I get it.
Yeah. Yes, I'm totally safe, man. Okay?
Yeah, and I'm almost home!
Yeah.
All right.
[phone chimes]
Gosh, it sure has been a while.
[sighs, inhales]
Wait a sec.
I knew it.
It's Kook Yeon-su again.
[deep sigh]
Did everyone else in the neighborhood disappear?
Why is it always her?
Were you drinking again?
["Maybe If" by BIBI playing]
Okay. Just go back home already.
[Ung] Ten reasons why I hate Kook Yeon-su.
Am I the easiest thing to throw away
of all the things you have?
No.
But you're the only one…
that I can get rid of.
What's the reason?
[louder] What's your reason?
[Ung shouting mentally] Why do we have to break up?
♪ It never seems to disappear ♪
["Maybe If" by BIBI continues]
[Ung] The tenth and the last reason
is because she erased me from her life so easily.
[all chuckling]
Good morning, everyone.
-Good morning. -Oh, good morning, Ms. Kook!
[Yeon-su] You all seem to be in a good mood.
Well, you see, huh, you gave us an amazing present,
of course, we'd be happy.
-What are you talking about? -Oh, come on, now.
Didn't you stay quiet all this time just to surprise us?
I don't know what you're talking about.
[Myeong-ho] Someone from Go-oh's agency dropped by here.
And we heard that you were friends with Go-oh.
So why didn't you tell us about it?
Wait. Who dropped by earlier?
His manager came to say he'll work on the Soen Shop project.
Choi Ung, uh, no, I mean,
Go-oh really said that he'd do it, for real?
Yes. He said that he'd do it because you were going to help him
with something as well.
-He said I would? -"I would"?
[chuckling]
Come on, quit playing.
[I-hun] Who knew you would have such connections, Yeon-su?
I already told Soen Shop about the good news too.
[Yeon-su] No way. No, that's impossible.
I… could you please excuse me? I need to meet someone.
I'll be back in a bit.
What's up?
[music fades]
[Eun-ho] Why did you send me to get the contract so early?
I thought it was about NJ.
You did as I told you?
Yes.
And did you meet Yeon-su?
No, she wasn't there.
Is that so?
It's going to get noisy here soon.
I suggest you stay away.
Why?
It's going to be a mess here soon.
Hmm?
One, ten, hundred, thousand… 17,867?
Why did 17,867 people like the photo I posted of us eating meat?
What are you talking about?
[gasps dramatically]
Oh, come on.
NJ.
NJ liked my photo of us eating!
What?
Look. [gasps]
NJ!
[doorbell ringing]
[chuckles happily]
[Eun-ho] I can't believe NJ liked my photo!
Oh, God, NJ really liked my photo!
[chuckles happily]
[sighs]
[Ji-ung] So about Ung…
When we were about nine,
I always teased him and ran away back in those days.
So what about it?
I think he just wanted to get back at me.
[Ji-ung] One day, he brought some shaved ice to eat together.
So I gladly ate it up.
Even if I had a terrible allergy to the peaches added to it.
[Yeon-su] But wait, isn't he allergic to them as well?
[chuckles] That crazy jerk.
You know, he gladly ate peaches with me just to get revenge.
[sighs] Unbelievable.
So then what happened to you guys?
We both got sent to the emergency room with puffy faces,
and he even smirked at me from the bed right across mine.
So that's when I decided to stop bullying him.
So why are you telling me all of this?
Well, Choi Ung, um, he's the type who's willing to endure his own pain,
if it means he can make others suffer just as badly, if not worse.
And I'm sure that you'll realize what I mean soon.
[Yeon-su] No, there's no way.
Would Choi Ung really be that crazy like he said?
Well, that's what I thought at first,
but then seeing his face all but confirmed it.
[sighs]
He really is crazy.
What do you mean?
Did you agree to work on our project just because…
Hmm. Because you'll be helping me too.
And by helping you, do you mean that…
I wanna film that documentary with you.
Again.
[Ung] This may not be different from when I ate those peaches.
I guess we can chalk that up to my condition.
Let's film it together.
The documentary I mean. Just for a month.
That's it.
Choi Ung!
[Ung] If Kook Yeon-su hates it this much,
then I can take it.
[Ung sighs contently]
EPILOGUE
[chuckles]
This is so ridiculous.
Does he still really hate me that much?
Hmm. Well, I guess for me…
I don't really care.
You know, I'd like to think I'm kind of a cool person.
I don't really hold grudges against people.
I mean it.

-Here, please enjoy. -Thank you so much.
-Oh, you can leave that here instead. -Yeah, thank you.
-[doorbell tingling] -Oh.
[Yeon-su] Hi, welcome.
-[woman] Yeah, I'd like to order this. -[Yeon-su] Yes.
[gentle music continues]
[student chatter]
If you have something to say,
stop staring at me and just say it.
[indistinct chatter]
Are you really feeling okay?
-What's that? -Sorry?
-[student chatter] -[gentle music]
You broke up with Ung, didn't you?
And you two were dating for such a long time.
Hey, come on. You can be honest with me, you know that.
Just tell me if you're feeling any pain.
It's scarier seeing you act like this. As if nothing's wrong.
It's so hard to watch this.
Don't worry about it too much.
But are you really okay?
Hmm.
I swear, I'm really okay.

["There For You" continues]
[upbeat outro music]
[Yeon-su] Don't make me laugh.
Is that what he said?
[sighs]
[Ung] The minor details may be different, but to tell you the truth…
It was on that day when everything went haywire.
Hey.
[Yeon-su] Since you're pretty childish and act like you're so pathetic…
[both sigh]
I believe you.
[Ung] You also ruined my life.
You wreaked havoc.
