EPISODE 7
Now, where could she have gone?
ARCHAEOPTERYX
I think you better answer it. Could be an emergency or something.
Hello? Ms. Shin? Where are you now?
Well, hello?
This is Shin Ha-ri's phone, isn't it?
So who is this?
I thought you said you had a date with your boyfriend.
Aren't you with him? Where is he?
Oh, that's…
Hey, no need to be shy, we're friends.
Since we're all here anyway, you should give us a look
at your rich boyfriend.
Yeah, why don't you introduce us, Ha-ri?
-Where is he? -We want to see him.
Actually, I didn't come with my boyfriend tonight.
Hey, Babe.
Sorry I kept you waiting.
Ha-ri.
-Who is this? -Oh, he's--
Nice to meet you. My name is Kang Tae-moo.
I'm Ha-ri's boyfriend.
Oh, hello.
Oh, hello. Nice to meet you.
Ha-ri, seeing as we're all here anyway, we should all have dinner together.
-That all right with you? -Yeah, why not.
Sounds good, right, Babe?
Huh?
This way.
What are you doing? Are you nuts?
Where are you going with this boyfriend act all of a sudden?
You should first go ahead and thank me.
'Cause the way I see it,
pretty sure I just helped you save face in front of your friends.
How thoughtful.
Shouldn't you apologize to me first?
You're the one who left me on the road
soaking in the rain because of some meeting or whatever.
I'm sorry about that.
That's why I came here immediately. I canceled the meeting.
Really?
I guess I was worrying for nothing, then.
What do you mean, "worrying"?
Doesn't matter. It's not important.
Then, if that's all, let's go. Your friends must be waiting.
Huh? What the… What do you mean, "let's go"?
Well, we promised to have dinner with them, didn't we?
Stop it, it's fine.
You don't have to make this any bigger than it has to.
Oh, my God. So Ha-ri did actually have a boyfriend?
Yeah, I know, right?
'Cause, I was a little bit suspicious that she was lying to us.
But that guy, though, I mean, wow. So hot.
Exactly.
He looked like a model or something.
He was covered in designer clothing from head to toe.
God, I could hardly breathe.
Hey, what do you think?
What if Ha-ri's the one who's buying him all those expensive clothes?
I mean, that's not too far-fetched, right?
You actually think Ha-ri can even afford any of that?
I don't think telling the truth is the best option.
At least in this case.
Or you can accept my help
and keep your pride, at least.
Let's see.
Your friends need to be taken down a peg or two.
Now what's the best way to do that?
So tonight, since you're all Ha-ri's dear friends, dinner'll be on me.
Thank you very much.
-Why is it so expensive? -Baby.
Don't look at these, look at me.
My love for you and this credit card
have something in common, can you guess?
Simple, they both have no limit.
-Oh. -The world is your oyster.
SHOW OFF YOUR WEALTH
You're amazing.
How about you stop staring at me, and just…
Let's just eat.
I don't have to, Babe. Honestly, I'm satisfied enough
just from looking at you.
You're such a clumsy cutie.
It's okay. I can do it.
God, you're adorable.
I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom real quick.
Shall we?
Oh, no, no, no. I can go by myself. Stay here.
Can't let you do that, Babe. I get nervous when you're gone.
I'll just walk with you until the door.
ACT CLINGY
Uh…
Oh.
Better watch where you're going!
-Are you all right, Ms. Shin? -What?
-You didn't get hurt, did you? -No.
This guy can't be real.
He's so damn perfect, and he loves her so much.
I know. I'm dying of jealousy here.
Hey, buddy.
You could have hurt my girlfriend. What the hell is wrong with you, huh?
BE LOYAL LIKE A DOG
So tell us, what part of Ha-ri caught your attention?
Well, look at her.
Isn't she stunning? Never seen someone so beautiful.
So gorgeous.
Just because we're in front of my friends, you don't have to keep exaggerating.
I'm not exaggerating.
From the very first moment I laid eyes on her,
I knew she was the one.
Wow. I wonder how many women he's already dated.
He knows what to say like he's mastered it.
I'm so jealous, Ha-ri. Your boyfriend is such a sweetheart.
Come on, Min-woo's no chump either.
What if Min-woo was here too, being all sweet to you…
Creeps me out just thinking about it.
I'm sorry, Min-woo? You don't mean Chef Lee Min-woo, right?
That's the one. You know him?
I've seen him for work at the office. Yeah, I know him.
Mm, so you work at the same company as Ha-ri?
-From which department? -Oh, actually he's from--
That depends…
Which department would you say the president of a company works in?
Oh.
-Oh, my God, are you all right, Ha-ri? -Ha-ri, are you okay?
-You all right? -Oh, yes.
The president?
-The… -Did I hear that right?
I'm so full.
Thank you very much for the wonderful dinner
and evening, President Kang.
Hey, no need to call your friend's boyfriend "President."
It's way too formal.
But yes, thank you. We enjoyed tonight's meal.
Oh, right. Where are you two gonna be staying tonight?
Oh, today we might just head on back--
We're also staying here for the night.
Oh, really?
Well, good thing then.
So we can buy you lunch tomorrow or something.
I feel bad letting you buy dinner for nothing.
-Yeah, let's do that. -See you tomorrow.
-All right, later. -Have a good night, you two!
What the hell do you think you're doing?
We can't stay. We need to head back to Seoul.
I know the buses aren't running right now.
Plus, we drank, so we can't drive.
God damn it.
-Why are you just standing there? -Huh?
Wow. This wallpaper.
I'm loving the design. I wonder where it came from.
If you feel like it, wanna have a glass of wine with me?
A glass?
Oh, no, no, no. I'm fine. Why would I want to drink?
Suit yourself.
I'm sorry, sir?
Can we get separate rooms for tonight?
I mean, we're not seriously gonna, like, sleep in the same room, right?
Do you think it's gonna make sense for a couple to use separate rooms?
What would your friends say if they noticed?
How will you explain that to them?
I…
that's true, but I mean, seriously…
I'm not gonna try to do anything, you don't have to worry.
You can take the bed, go ahead. I'll sleep on the couch.
No, you don't have to do that.
I'm more than fine on the couch. I love sleeping on it.
Why would I want the bed? The couch is the best place to sleep.
There.
Then you can try sleeping on the couch.
I'll just move you to the bed when you fall asleep later.
Oh, was that…
what you've been hoping for?
No. Wow, yeah, on second thought, the bed is so much better. Yep.
Thank you very much. Wow.
That was cute.
This is gonna stain.
I can't go to bed like this.
Oh.
Hmm.
This feels even weirder, actually.
But on the other hand…
I can't just…
go to bed with only this on.
Dang it.
You can't help it, Ha-ri. This situation's weird to begin with.
Why did she have to meet a perfect guy like that? What the hell?
Everything that Ha-ri does gets on my nerves, that little pest.
Are you done shooting already? You're back early.
Yeah. By the way, what's with the suite?
Oh, Ha-ri's boyfriend upgraded our room for us.
Ha-ri's boy… boyfriend?
Hmm. We ran into them a while ago and we ate dinner together.
What? You're telling me you didn't know who her boyfriend was?
No.
Who is it?
Don't be shocked, okay?
Her boyfriend is Kang Tae-moo, her company's president.
What?
President Kang Tae-moo?
Precisely how did you meet Mr. Kang anyway?
Exactly. How did a lowly employee
start dating the company's president just like that?
So they're going to be like this, huh?
Having some trouble there?
Oh, it's nothing. All good here.
Why aren't you replying? Fess up.
Too busy doing the side-way shuffle?
You're getting an awful lot of messages this late.
Flirting with someone special?
That's not it. As if.
It's my friends from before. Just chatting.
They getting suspicious about our relationship?
They didn't suspect a thing.
In fact, they are totally into it.
They all wanna know how the two of us first met.
Of course.
After all, my acting was perfect.
What should I tell them to shut them up?
What's there to think about?
Just tell them I was following you around at work.
-It was love at first sight. -What?
If it's too cheesy to type on your own, do you want me to type it out? All right.
Oh, no, no, no. I can type it myself. It's cool.
But then… what should I do?
What do you mean?
I'm not worried about my friends,
because you won't have to see them again, anyway.
Min-woo though, you're gonna have to keep running into him because of work.
I don't want you getting all uncomfortable.
Are you worried about me being in an awkward position? Because…
sounds more like you're worried because you still have a crush on him.
Hmm?
Uh, how did you… Why did you…
You didn't seriously think I was that clueless?
Yeah.
You really are clueless.
Clueless enough to bring up an old story about a one-way crush
all over again and make me remember.
But you are sure that it's over?
I don't need a girlfriend who cheats on me.
You know how that looks.
Oh, well…
Hey, you know what I noticed?
In all fairness, you really have a knack for acting.
Maybe you should have been an actor.
I've already told you. I'm good at many things.
Okay then. Do you wanna go back and finish what you were doing?
I'm going to try and get some sleep now, while I can.
I'm so tired.
Have a good night.
Guess I won't be able to sleep.
Guess I won't make it to sleep.
Hello? What is it?
Hey, are you still in bed?
It's morning. Time to get up.
Oh.
Where are you right now?
At the gym, working out.
I couldn't wake you up. You were dead asleep.
Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep all night
then I ended up nodding off pretty much early morning.
Yeah.
Somebody will be up there soon.
Open the door for them.
Wait, who's coming up here?
Good morning. I was sent by President Kang to help you.
He said to provide you with a fresh change of clothes.
What?
You're on a trip with your boyfriend.
It's a bit strange to be wearing the same clothes, right?
Go and pick out something that you like.
Preferably something white, or mostly white.
So we can match as a couple.
Do we really have to?
Huh?
What?
Huh?
What is this?
This is… this is Sung-hoon's apartment, isn't it?
I picked out this style because it suits me best
but do people really care about matching outfits?
Hey, Min-woo!
Thought you couldn't make it. When did you get here?
I came back last night because the shoot was canceled.
Oh, is that so?
So I heard some news.
That I heard you were dating President Kang?
Oh…
yeah.
I was really surprised when I heard it.
I never would have imagined it.
Yeah, I know, right?
I never would have imagined this could happen, either.
Ha-ri.
There you are.
Fully awake?
Glad you made it, Chef.
There's no need to be shy. I'm sure that he knows.
You do, right?
Man, I'm starving. Let's go get breakfast, shall we?
What in the world happened last night?
Right.
And then after that…
What are you, out of your freaking mind?
There's my coat and there's my phone…
-Are you all right, Young-seo? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just looking for something.
I got us some food. It's hangover soup.
I'm fine. Not really hungry.
I, I need to get to work.
You're going to work on a Sunday?
Oh…
Crazy right? I'm always just so damn swamped, seven days a week.
By the way.
About what happened last night…
It's just… Are we--
Yeah, what happened last night…
let's just pretend it never happened.
Um, what do you mean?
Like…
exactly what I said. Yeah, it's null and void.
Basically, nothing happened.
I'll get out of your hair now.
Null and void?
It's like I can't digest anything. Is it because I'm so tense?
I just wanna go home and rest.
Yes, I'll contact them.
I think I have to go back to Seoul right away for a meeting.
All right, that's great.
Leaving already?
Yeah. He's really busy running the company.
Come on. We can hang out here for at least another day.
Yeah, that's right. We're planning on touring the area after breakfast.
Guys, stop it. He already said he's busy.
So why don't you stay here for a bit, Ha-ri?
If he's going back for work, there's no need for you to follow him.
Isn't that right?
Yeah, that's true.
My schedule isn't convenient for Ha-ri.
Why don't I adjust it?
Well, Babe. Wanna stay here with them for one more day?
What? Uh…
Uh…
Oh, my God. Can you tell us who you borrowed that from?
It's my grandfather's yacht.
He enjoys fishing out in the ocean.
Jesus. The rich really are on a different level.
I'm so jealous of you, Ha-ri.
Why does he have to do everything on such a ridiculous scale?
I'm going nuts here.
Let's go.
Shall we?
Careful, Hari. Take my hand.
This is crazy.
Why is my heart skipping a beat right now? Snap out of it, Ha-ri.
It's okay, no need. I can get up by myself, thank you.
Thank you so much.
You wanna try this?
You should have some, it's good.
Oh, I'm all right.
Cheers!
Looks like we might not be seeing any dolphins today.
I know you've always wanted to see a dolphin.
Damn shame.
Hold on. How did you know that?
You told me about it before.
Don't you remember?
I did?
And besides, everyone knows how much you adore dolphins.
You put it all over your social media too.
Wouldn't it be weirder for your boyfriend not to know about it?
Yeah, I guess.
That makes sense.
You know, I've been wondering.
How'd you two get together, anyway?
A boss dating his employee? Not a very common thing.
Yeah, that's true.
Now that I think about it, I'm curious as well.
Uh…
I was following her around work. It was love at first sight.
-Ooh. -Wow.
Love at first sight? You probably thought I was crazy.
I've never met anyone as crazy as Ha-ri.
I would say it was new.
Every time that we met, she would do something weird.
She'd say the craziest things.
Three or four guys, was it?
What did you say?
I have never cheated with a single guy.
Now if it's four guys, three guys, whatever, then you'd be right.
I found out later it was a bluff.
She was just trying to push me away, really.
Self-defense. She realized that I had a thing for her.
What? That's crazy, Ha-ri.
What could you possibly not like about him?
When we met for the second time,
I don't know what happened, but I proposed to her.
Obviously, she rejected me immediately.
I went out on a few blind dates after, tried to forget what happened.
But all that did, was make me think of Ha-ri even more.
I couldn't help it. I asked her to give me one more chance.
Whoa. How is he so good at just coming up with that stuff?
I already told you, stop talking about marriage so early in our relationship.
Okay, for now.
She says she hasn't dated that much, yet she's so good at playing hard to get.
Always keeps me on my toes somehow.
Straight to the point.
-You think so? You wanna? -Yeah, of course I do.
-I'm going to the restroom. -Okay.
Having fun, Chef?
I heard you shot a TV program for SBC.
Yes. Our recent collaboration has been helping, got me some attention.
The marketing team was sure.
They predicted that you would have a quite substantial reception.
My Ha-ri was correct. She knew what she was doing.
Mr. Kang.
Yes?
May I ask you something?
Sure, go ahead.
Why her out of everyone else?
Why her?
Not sure what's that supposed to mean.
Look, why don't we just cut to the chase?
Honestly, being the man that you are,
you could practically have any woman that you wanted.
But here you are going out with Ha-ri,
who's not only from a normal family, but also works for you.
Let's just say I'm a little perplexed.
Are you saying we're not compatible?
And that "Ms. Shin isn't good enough for someone like me"?
Is that what you mean?
All I'm saying is I'm worried about Ha-ri.
Guess you're that kind of guy,
judging people based on their standing in life.
I like Ms. Shin.
In my eyes, she's the most beautiful woman
I've ever met.
So don't ever talk about her not being good enough.
My woman deserves better.
We clear on that?
Man, this weather.
I saw a fishing rod in the back.
Maybe we can do some fishing?
Oh, yeah, that sounds like good fun.
A fishing rod?
Oh, right, that's my grandfather's.
Reminds me of when we went fishing on a boat with Min-woo, way back.
We caught this red sea bream and Min-woo made sashimi out of it
right on the spot.
Now that was a lot of fun, wasn't it?
It was. That was one of the best things I've ever tasted.
-It was so good. -If we sail out a bit further
there's a spot that's famous for red sea bream.
Wanna try fishing there?
We can catch some sea bream, slice it up for some sashimi.
What do you think, Baby?
You, you wanna go fishing?
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Fishing, yay.
Okay.
What are you doing there by yourself? Come, stand next to me.
Mr. Kang, right now I'm actually feeling--
Amazing! Look!
Yeah.
Not to brag, but that's one-nil.
Dang it. He started it first?
-Mr. Kang, why don't we-- -No, not now. Let's talk later.
All right. I got a bite. I got one!
Okay, nice and easy.
There.
One-one.
Oh, awesome! Min-woo caught another one.
-Look! -Yeah!
Two-to-one. Good luck!
Damn it.
I think my fish is a bit bigger though, if you compare them.
Okay, that's it. Why don't we just let it go now?
Right. I think we're tied so far, correct?
-Let's just go for one more hour. -Okay, one more hour.
Whoa.
Hey, Ha-ri, how come your hand is so warm?
-Are you okay? -Yeah, I'm okay.
Can you stand?
I'll go with you to the hospital.
It's okay. I'll take care of it.
We'll be at the hospital in ten minutes. Just hold on for a bit.
It's okay. This isn't anything I need a hospital for.
Just sit back and listen to me.
-President Kang? -I'm busy right now. Let's talk later.
Let's just go straight to Seoul so we don't waste any time.
I know you're busy.
Hey, Sung-ho!
Hi, good evening.
Honestly speaking,
when I first saw you at the convenience store that time,
I already fell for you.
Do you think it's okay to run around with something like this?
It isn't, right?
Ta-da!
-Guess what that is. -Poop?
Okay, I don't know where we went wrong, because that's a flower.
Oh, God, I'm sorry.
Wow. She's beautiful.
I finally found my love.
Again, I'm sorry.
Not a problem. Here.
Should I ask her? Should I not?
Excuse me.
It was love at first sight for me too.
I mean, she said she likes me.
How could she possibly wanna forget about what happened last night?
Oh, you should have woken me up. I didn't know we were here.
It looked like you were having a nice nap, so I couldn't.
-Feeling all better? -Yeah.
After sleeping the entire way coming back from the hospital,
I feel a whole lot better now.
Hi, Mr. Mattis. I'm actually in the middle of something right now.
I'll call you right back. Bye.
I'm so sorry. This is all because of me.
Why do you keep saying you're sorry? You're always apologizing.
Well, it's just that…
You wasted all your time just to pretend that you are my boyfriend,
and you had to go through all that trouble today
with the boat and everything in general. I can't say sorry enough.
There's no need to apologize.
I did all those things 'cause I wanted to.
What?
I should… I should get going now.
You have a safe drive home, okay?
Wait, Ms. Shin.
You really have no idea?
I hate wasting my time more than anything,
but I spent the entire weekend pretending to be your boyfriend.
Went through your social media accounts just to figure out what it is you like,
and I'm standing here with you instead of taking a meeting.
You don't think there's a reason?
What?
The truth is, I have feelings for you.
I know it all feels so sudden. I'm still confused myself.
I was too busy being jealous of Chef Lee…
I didn't even realize the woman I like was sick,
and acted like an idiot.
You understand? So please stop apologizing to me.
I'm the one who should be on his knees right now.
So President Kang…
he has…
he has feelings for me?
Am I in a dream right now?
Oh, it doesn't hurt?
Ha-ri. I went to the mall earlier today.
I passed by this one shop and saw all this stuff.
I just knew these were definitely made for you.
-Now, come on. Try it on. -Huh?
Yeah, that looks great. Try it on. Come on.
-Try it on. -Right now?
Uh, no, no, no.
Why don't I just try it on tomorrow? I'm too tired right now.
-You're tired? -Yeah.
Oh, look how tired your eyes look.
That damn company is squeezing their employees even on the weekends.
Look at my poor little girl.
That sounds familiar. I heard there's this one guy
who does all the deliveries for his parent's chicken shop.
No matter if it's during the weekend.
Despite all that, why is she getting all these clothes? Great parenting.
You ungrateful little prick who knows no shame.
Do you know how much money I've had to pay so far
because of your antics?
If you knew shame, you would've kept silent
and behaved, you little punk.
You're gonna keep on talking like that to your own mom?
Where'd you learn to talk like that?
Whatever.
I'm gonna break your legs.
-Here. -Thanks, mom.
You're wearing the clothes that I got for you.
It looks so good. Just look at how pretty my daughter is.
-Really? -Hmm.
Hold on!
I won't allow it. My girl can't just go out wearing that.
-Why? -Why not?
Because you look way too pretty.
I mean, what if all the guys start following you around?
He's not lying.
You take after your mamma, which means you can make any outfit shine.
-All right, see you later. -Bye, have a great day.
Wait.
If I dress nicely right after he confessed to me…
he might think that I'm trying to look good for him. Oh, shit.
Hey, why are you going back in?
I'm changing clothes. I can't afford to look pretty, not today.
She's really gone nuts.
You little prick, watch what you say about your sister.
It's late. I should get going now.
I know right now you're a little rattled.
I mean, it did come out of nowhere.
I won't pressure you into anything.
So just take your time and think about it.
PRESIDENT KANG TAE-MOO
I didn't mean take all the time to think about it.
I should have given her a specific time-frame to respond.
-President Kang, Chairman Kang is-- -Out of my way, boy.
You. Just what the hell do you think you're doing?
Are you out of your mind?
-I'm not sure what's gotten you so angry. -Gonna play dumb with me now?
Here. Take a good look. I can't wait to hear your explanation.
Explanation for what?
For that.
Huh?
Ridiculous.
No privacy these days. May I ask who sent you these?
What were you doing? You know that was Chairman Park's hotel.
And here I was thinking that you went on a date
with Ms. Shin over the weekend.
Tell me, who is that woman?
My apologies, I can't tell you that yet.
Oh, really? You crazy little…
This isn't how I raised you.
Are you really going to cheat on Ms. Shin like that?
-You little bastard. -No, it's not like that!
You get your ass over here!
Grandpa!
-Stop! It's not like that? -Grandpa.
I've got the evidence right here, plain as the eye can see.
Furthermore, you used the hotel staff.
You asked them to get her some new clothes, didn't you?
And you took her out sailing and fishing on my yacht.
I knew I didn't raise you well, but you're taking it to a whole new level.
Where do you get the balls to do what you just did?
-Wait! -You're in for it now!
Grandpa, please, stop.
There's a whole story behind this.
Oh, there better be.
All right. Tell me.
Unlike you, I'm a fair man, so I'll give you a chance.
I broke up with Ms. Geum-hui recently.
You what?
I ended things with her.
So yes, I'm seeing someone else, but that doesn't mean I'm cheating.
Are you sure you didn't break up because you cheated on her?
He didn't. That's not the case at all, sir.
How am I even supposed to trust you? I can't. You two are thick as thieves.
My God. What on earth did I ever do to…
Jesus, I'm getting dizzy.
Why on earth did you tell him that you broke up with Ms. Shin?
Because it had to be done, eventually.
I can't just tell him they're the same person.
That's true.
CHAIRMAN KANG HAS SENT YOU A TEXT
He's already telling me to set up your blind dates again soon.
Why not come clean? Tell Ms. Shin you have feelings for her
and be done with it. Then just take her to Chairman Kang.
Halfway there.
-I already told her. -What?
Did you… She didn't reject you, did she?
Me? Rejected?
I'm still waiting for her to answer.
I told her that I would give her time so she could think.
You know, so she could think it over slowly.
All right, you got rejected.
Hey, I said I wasn't!
IT WAS DELICIOUS, I LOVE YOU!
I'll tell you what,
I was in agony craving for this spicy tteokbokki all day.
What's the matter? You've been whining about being stressed out all day.
You're not ready for this. I don't even know where to start.
Actually, I have something to say too.
Stressed minds really do think alike. What's your story?
It's like this…
Damn it, I don't even know where to start.
If you're gonna take all day, I can just go first.
Okay, I slept with Sung-hoon.
What did you say?
We slept together.
But I couldn't remember any of it,
so I just ran out of there telling him that it didn't count.
-You did what? -I know. I'm crazy.
I'm shocked you actually slept with him. Even worse, you don't remember any of it.
I'm speechless. I don't know what to say.
Same here! I know this is crazy.
I feel like I'm losing my mind right now. What the hell!
Seriously, how can I not remember sleeping with someone?
It sucks 'cause… you know how much I'm into Sung-hoon, don't you?
So why… why can't I even remember details for such an important moment between us?
Even so, how could you tell him that it didn't count?
The poor guy, he must've been shocked.
It was just because I was so flustered, I wasn't able to think straight.
Then you should've just told him that you don't remember it.
Hey!
Why would you make me do that?
He'll think I'm the kind of woman who gets drunk and goes around…
doing that. No way.
Not to mention, that'd probably hurt his pride too.
Yeah, that's true.
So what now? What's your plan?
I have absolutely no idea.
What about you? What did you wanna tell me?
Never mind. We can talk about it later.
DA-HYE
What?
Hmm?
-What's up? -What was up with that face?
No idea what you mean. What face?
Fine, don't tell me.
What are you hiding from me? I'm curious. Let me see that.
DA-HYE THANKS TO YOU WE HAD A GREAT TIME.
What is this pic?
Ha-ri, what's this picture?
So yeah, that's, um…
"Please say hi for me to your boyfriend"?
Ha-ri, what are they talking about?
'Cause for some reason they're calling President Kang your boyfriend.
Yeah, it's a long story.
I freaking knew it!
You remember that bastard who recorded those secret videos of us?
Well, apparently President Kang helped his past victims file lawsuits
so he gets a harsher sentence.
I remember thinking, "Weird, why'd he do that?"
Turns out he only did it because he was into you!
I won't pressure you into anything.
So you just take your time and think about it.
Let me know when you're ready.
Just imagine how surprised she must've been when I asked her out.
So I said I'll give her some time to think,
-because I was being considerate, right? -Right.
Usually, though, how long does it take before they come to a decision?
Well, that's probably… It varies from person to person.
Right.
Also, it wouldn't be right to call her after saying I'll give her time, right?
Right.
What the heck? Fuck.
God, these spam calls.
Oh.
Uh, suddenly got a cramp on my leg outta nowhere.
It'd be nice if you stopped making me feel so pathetic.
Sorry?
I'll pretend that night never happened. Fine. Null and void, just like you said.
So please stop avoiding me. This is getting ridiculous.
-No, that's not even what I really-- -And also…
I wasn't gonna say this 'cause I didn't wanna seem clingy,
but I should, so you'd know I'm sincere.
That night, it wasn't some compulsive act or anything.
Like how? What do you mean?
Even back then, ever since I first saw you in that convenience store…
I was interested in you.
I shouldn't have given in and just kept my distance.
Again, I'm sorry.
What do you think you're doing?
You said… that you've been interested in me right from the beginning.
Is that true?
What does it matter? It's all in the past now.
I swear I wasn't avoiding you on purpose.
-I just… I had my reasons-- -I said it's fine.
I've got nothing more to say to you.
Wait, you don't understand…
So…
Actually…
So the truth is that… I don't remember what happened that night.
I'm sorry, what?
I mean, I don't remember anything about…
the whole time that we were… you know.
I just didn't know what was going on. So that's why I left
after saying that it didn't count 'cause I couldn't recall anything.
That's why…
Are you sure?
So you're saying you really don't remember?
No.
I know how crazy I must sound right now.
I know, believe me.
But it's just unfair. How could I like a person so much
and yet when we finally get to do you-know-what…
I can't even freaking remember.
I just felt ashamed and, you know, embarrassed.
Sorry, did you just laugh?
Why? What's so funny?
You have no idea how cute you are.
Sorry, what? I'm cute?
I actually thought you'd be mad. You're not shocked or anything?
No.
But back there, you seemed like you wanted to draw a line between us again.
Let's call it null and void.
And from here on out…
I'll make sure that you never forget.
THE NEXT DAY
What's all this?
COLLABORATION WITH THE CHEF PRODUCT
WHITE KIMCHI RAVIOLI TOP IN SALES
President Kang's here.
Oh, my face is dry.
Come on.
Why couldn't he just ask me out then?
You're the one to talk, Ha-ri.
Why are you even feeling so down?
You're the one rejecting him.
You're a funny girl, Ha-ri.
AND THE NEXT DAY
DELICIOUS SPICY TTEOKBOKKI
We have a product called "Delicious Spicy Tteokbokki."
Guess who came up with that.
What the hell?
Why do I have to keep thinking about him?
President Kang has arrived.
AND THE DAY AFTER THAT
We live in two completely different worlds.
It makes no sense for me to be dating the company president.
Are you kidding me?
You can't even see her face here.
Oh, I know, right? I wanna know.
I wonder who she is.
Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
Either she's got a super pretty face,
or she went to a really good school, or she's from a really wealthy family.
If not one of those, then all of those.
They're probably imagining some impossibly perfect girl.
Wonder how shocked they'd be if they find out it's just me.
We'll submit the proposal as soon as it's put together.
Can you stop being so vague and set an exact date already?
Do you have any idea how painful it is for someone to just wait?
Sir?
Our foreign sales are climbing. However, while go food's sales revenue
is on the rise in the Unites states, uh, there are other countries
that are competing with us over there.
So I believe a more aggressive strategy will be necessary for us.
Korean cuisine gives this impression that it's homemade and very healthy,
made with the love and care of the person making it.
Let's use that to make our product stand out.
Yes, sir.
It's already been a week.
Mister Kang?
Is there anything wrong?
It's fine.
So what's the progress on the package revision plan?
To cater to the local customers who are accustomed to buying things in bulk.
We're currently in discussion with our clients for a possible solution.
We're thinking four packs in one box ought to do it.
Let's retain the English labeling. "MANDU." Keep it on the packaging.
-Keeps the Korean-ness of it. -Yes, I agree with that.
CHAIRMAN
For the food product development teams,
please start developing dumplings that are suitable for localization.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN
ADDITIONAL FILMING PROPOSAL
SUGGESTED CAST FOOD PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM 1
The extra shoots for the chef collaborations,
when are they taking place?
That figures, doesn't it?
That ungrateful son of mine.
Go and find out where he is. I wanna know right now.
Yes, understood, sir.
Where is Ms. Kim? We're going to be shooting real soon.
Uh, I think she went to the bathroom. She said she was nervous.
Oh, I'm jealous of Ms. Kim.
I wanted to do this shoot.
Hey, it's a promo video. Why are you jealous?
Your face's gonna get plastered everywhere and you won't even get paid much.
Yeah, but still. It's a chance for me to stand out
and also represent all the researchers in here.
Might even get some favor from the president.
Oh. Where have you been?
Oh, I went to get some cheongsimwon.
Again? You had some a while ago.
You haven't eaten anything since yesterday for the shoot.
Is it okay to be taking those?
Yeah, I'll be fine. Let's hurry on over to the studio.
Let's go now.
Hello, everyone.
Well, hello there.
Oh, you're here.
Oh, you're the center of attention for these additional shoots
thanks to the positive reaction. Isn't that nice?
-It's all thanks to you guys, really. -Oh, come on, please.
You're right, though. How did you know?
-But yeah, treat us to a meal next time. -Sure thing.
By the way, have you seen Ha-ri around?
Oh, I think Ms. Shin went to the bathroom with Ms. Kim to help her get ready.
-You have to help me Ms. Yeo. -With what?
Ms. Kim's all wacky.
Cheongsimwon is the best. Super duper effective.
What the hell? How many did she take?
I think, like three?
Th… Three?
How is she supposed to get on camera like this?
We're about to start soon.
There's no choice left. I have to get ready.
-Please don't. -Okay.
Ms. Shin, go get ready.
-Who, me? -Yeah, who else?
You're friends with Chef Lee so there's chemistry,
plus who wants to look at his depressing face?
I'd rather look at yours.
I…
WHITE KIMCHI RAVIOLI
How are you? Are you feeling better?
Oh, yeah. It's been a while since then.
Okay, places, everyone.
Let's do this.
You said that you'd wait until Ms. Shin contacted you first,
didn't you?
Don't worry about it. I just want a glimpse of her face, then I'll go.
All right, everyone, let's get started. Rolling.
All right.
Where in the world is she?
Why are they shooting the video together?
Should I cut up the vegetables in advance while you're cooking, Chef Lee?
-Oh, yes, please. -You got it.
Wow, you really know how to handle a knife, don't you?
Well, it's 'cause my family runs a fried chicken shop, that's why.
So I've been chopping up cabbages ever since I could remember.
Oh, I can tell.
Are the onions ready?
Just a moment, Chef.
Cut!
Blood! Blood! Blood!
Hey, are you all right, Ha-ri?
Uh, yeah. Um…
Yeah. This isn't blood. I accidentally pressed on the sauce bottle.
Sorry, everyone.
I'm okay.
Oh, my God, why is he…
What's he… What's he doing here?
Could it be…
because he wants to hear my answer?
It's been quite a while.
Hello, President Kang.
By the way, thank you.
Thank you? What for exactly?
I mean, for, uh…
for what you did before.
I heard that you personally took care of the guy who filmed Young-seo.
So thank you for that. I mean it.
-Chairman Kang is on his way. -What?
Go, go.
What?
Hello, sir.
Where is that boy, Tae-moo? Tell me where he is.
I'm not sure where he is, sir.
Oh, really?
Strange.
-This way. -This way?
Tae-moo. Oh, that sneaky little boy.
Damn it, my leg.
I don't have the energy for this.
Chairman Kang.
Where is that boy hiding? Tell him to show his face right now!
Careful, sir. The employees are gonna hear.
You! I want you to and tell him
he's gonna have to start going on blind dates again
if he's not planning on getting back together with Ms. Shin.
Sir, please. Just try to calm down a little.
You want me to calm down?
Oh, I'm dizzy. God, I'm exhausted.
-Let's go, sir. -That ungrateful,
sneaky son of mine. Jeez, that little prick…
I already told my grandfather that we broke up.
Better to get it done this early.
Can't introduce you as Shin Geum-hui forever.
Just go do the dates.
Are you…
are you saying you don't wanna give us a try?
Is there a specific reason?
The reason is…
There's actually a lot.
I mean, what would your grandfather say
if he knew about this little situation between us?
Not to mention the other staff at work.
I'm not asking what other people would think.
I only care about what you think, and no one else.
That's all that matters to me.
Same thing.
I just can't see it ever working out.
I want you to be honest with me.
Do you really not feel anything?
Okay. I understand.
Then let me do it again.
I like you, Ms. Shin, and I do have feelings for you.
And I'm not gonna give up.
Reject me and I'll just keep asking, again and again and again.
Until the day you feel the same way.
You need to brace yourself.
Trust me, this is just the beginning of us.
What is with you? Why do you keep making it so difficult?
Why do you have to keep being nice to me? I can barely stop thinking about you.
Now you're making me wonder even more if there might be a real future for us.
Deep inside, I know that there isn't.
We both know you're not someone who could belong with someone like me.
So why do you have to keep torturing me?
You keep making me want this to happen so bad.
Stop. Please just let me go.
Stop trying to get closer. It wasn't meant to be.
Whatever it is that you're afraid of…
I will do everything that I can so it doesn't happen.
So please…
stay with me.
