Was that it?
It was because of me.
That's why you chose this way?
How could you have such an idea?
You said you liked me.
How could you think of such an idea without even telling me?
Then what?
Do you expect me to live...
off your time day by day?
I can't do that.
I'm horrified at myself...
for having been excited to live longer without knowing it was yours.
The reason isn't important...
because the end is the same.
You and I shouldn't be together.
I can't either.
I can't break up with you like this.
If I'm left alone without you,
how am I supposed to live?
I don't care about my time.
I can't leave you alone...
even if I have to die instead of you.
No.
I can't.
I can't let you.
Mi Ka.
Please.
Sweetie.
My mom doesn't know anything,
so don't make things tough for me.
Now go.
Mom.
What's wrong?
What are you doing here?
He was only here to discuss work.
Let's head inside.
- But... - Come on.
Was it really work related?
Why would he come by the house for that?
Also, you seemed to be in tears.
It's nothing. I left something at the studio,
and he brought it over.
Don't worry about it.
(Choi Mikaela)
Please go.
If you stay out there,
I won't ever leave this house.
Does time flow differently for us?
The sun may rise
The moon may flow, but I'm not like others
Nothing will change
My destiny is an unknown
I only walk through the darkness
But you see me
You're the first to give me your hand
My one and only love, it's you
Only darkness fills my world
But you came like candlelight
My one and only love
It's you
If I can turn back the clock
Holding your hand
I never liked you once,
and it's still the same.
I tried to put up with it and get what I wanted.
But I can't do this anymore.
What's wrong?
What is it?
Why can't it be?
I like him so much.
I miss him.
I miss him so much...
that my heart aches as I try to breathe.
Why can't I be with him?
Do Ha knows everything now.
Now I can't even see him from afar.
Isn't my dying enough?
I'm not asking for more days or years.
All I want...
is to be able...
to see him from afar.
I had convinced myself that I could live with that,
but that's not possible anymore.
Seong Hee.
Gosh. What are you doing here?
- Where are you off to? - A meeting at work.
I asked you why you're here.
I met a friend in the neighborhood,
so I thought I'd ask you for a meal.
What friend?
There's a friend you don't know about.
Let's go.
I'll walk you to work.
I'm good.
Hold on.
Why are you refusing a friend's brother's offer?
Do you have feelings for me?
- What? - You wanted things to be normal.
When you used to walk home at night,
I accompanied you.
Don't you remember?
Stop using this brother thing as an excuse to...
To do what?
I've gone back to being just a friend,
so stop overreacting...
and treat me the way you used to.
Let's go.
What's with the shades?
Are you tired of seeing things?
That too,
but my face is also a mess.
What's wrong with your face?
I'm a mess, aren't I?
You look pretty if you ask me.
That's a lie.
He came by to see me you know.
He doesn't see what you do,
but you keep pushing him away.
I guess he was frustrated.
He thought he'd find an answer with me.
It shows how desperate he is.
He...
knows now.
He knows why I broke up with him.
I might have to stop coming for a while.
Where are you going?
Anywhere.
Any place he can't find me.
Have you ever...
seen the clock lie before?
If we stay together, his time will come to me.
The more I live,
the less he'll get to live himself.
Who am I...
and what's so great about love that he must risk his life for me?
What about you though?
Why are you risking your life by running away from him?
Hmm?
Is it because you love him?
My gosh.
Poor you.
I feel bad for you both.
Are you really going to quit?
All the actors were summoned,
so Director Cho might have decided to put on his show after all.
Just wait until an announcement is made.
Even if I work at another studio, Do Ha will come for me.
I need to leave.
I can't waste more time now that he knows.
You're supposed to be at the studio, not here.
I have something to tell you.
I have something to tell you too.
I don't know what you want to say, but we'll talk at the studio.
I'm sorry for the long wait.
Alterations are being made for the script to fit a smaller theater.
My goal is to make sure...
that no big structural changes are made to it.
Director.
What about the ensemble?
A small theater won't be big enough...
to accommodate all of us.
You'll be rearranged according to the scenes.
You might get less time on stage compared to before,
but I'll make sure you all get to perform.
What about the lead?
Are you all right?
Yeon Hee will be...
played by the understudy,
Ms. Choi Mi Ka.
What?
Ms. Park Hye Ran will be the new understudy.
Mi Ka's been working hard as the understudy,
so I'm sure she'll magnificently pull off this character.
I have no doubt that only good luck will follow.
Let's do our best with a new found passion.
- Sure. - Yes, sir.
Congratulations, Mi Ka.
Director!
What you just said in there...
Did you just cast me to take Joo Na's place as Yeon Hee?
You should thank her sometime.
She only gave you her own script...
because...
she acknowledged you as a talented actress.
Hearing that made me think of the possibility.
I started considering you as the female lead.
Please do your best. Actually,
do the show right. I believe you can.
What's your plan?
You have 80 days, no. It's probably less than that now.
What are you going to do alone after pushing me away?
What can I do?
Your time keeps being transferred to me.
You want me to live forever with that time of yours?
Mi Ka!
Gosh, congratulations!
This is great. I'm so happy for you.
Move back in.
Aren't you going to answer me?
The day we first met,
I planted a kiss on you at my audition.
Do you remember that?
It was because I was desperate.
I badly want to perform on stage.
Performing is the only thing that helps me...
forget I'm dying.
Then do it. Keep performing on stage.
But do it while you're with me.
I've been cast as Yeon Hee in Director Cho's show.
I want to make it on the stage,
but if I'm with you,
I can't.
Is it because my time transfers to yours?
Are you worried that I'll die because of you?
Mi Ka, do you know what scares me the most?
It's knowing that you're alone without me.
It's knowing that your life clock which I can't see...
keeps counting down.
Not being with you...
hurts more than dying myself.
I'll run away.
If you keep being this stubborn,
I'll hide someplace you'll never find me.
Mi Ka.
This show could be my last.
The lead role I luckily got, my family, my friends.
I'll leave those all behind...
and die alone in a place that's deserted.
Mi Ka!

Sir.
Director Cho is waiting for you in the meeting room.
Director Cho?
We noticed the cast members today.
The scale wouldn't be as large as you intended,
but I believe performing in a small theater...
is attractive enough like Director Cho's opinion.
It's also the most realistic way...
to meet the schedule which we planned out in the beginning.
It wouldn't have been hard to find another new production company.
Why do you want to work with me again?
It's the first step in my career as a director in Korea.
Though we won't be able to perform in a grand hall,
I'd like to put a nice ending to this step...
with all the members whom I started this with.
This piece will be meaningful to me only then.
- And about Yeon Hee... - I'm aware of that.
You may think it's risky...
to cast the unknown actress for the main role.
But let's make it look like...
we're using a new actress and a small theater on purpose.
Let's make people think the musical is solely about Director Cho...
without relying on its cast or scale.
I'll trust you one more time.
You feel a sense of responsibility towards your team members.
You're also certain about the competency of the new actress.
I'll bet on you once more.
But...
you'll have to make the result...
that's meaningful enough for me too.
Don't worry.
I don't get started on something I'm not confident about.
Please prepare a new budget proposal first.
Okay, I'll submit it as soon as possible.
("Yeon Hee's Time Runs Backwards")
When I dance, sing, and stand on stage,
I forget about life clocks.
It's like the time has stopped.
Take me if you'd like.
I'll do what makes me happy until the end.
(President Lee Do Ha)
I'll call you all the time from now on.
I need to hear your voice...
so that I gain strength to keep my promise and put up with it.
And...
congratulations on being cast for Yeon Hee.
Thank you.
Focus only on your musical.
I'll keep my promise well...
not to make you concerned.
Thank you for that too.
Instead, you have to keep your promise too.
The promise that you'll do as I wish...
once the musical ends.
Okay.
I will.
Sweet dreams.
Goodnight.

What is it about this time?
Baby, can you check my skin condition today?
Does it look glossy?
Mom, I'm sorry,
but look in the mirror.
I'm looking for a job really hard right now.
You're looking for a job? What's gotten into you?
Don't tell me you're going to apply for a few occupations...
and then whine at me for some pocket money...
after failing all of them.
I won't.
I'm going to get employed no matter what this time.
Anyway, you're a good boy.
I like your hardworking attitude.
Why are you so dressed up today?
I have a job interview today.
It's for cosmetics saleswoman.
Look at you.
You must've put much care into your outfit...
because it's your first practice as the main actress today.
Especially, those lips. They look very lovely.
Do I look okay?
Of course, my sweetie twinkles all the time.
Let's go. I might run late.
- Good luck. - Bye.
Bye.
(Recruiting IT laboratory information developers)
I'm not for laboratories.
I'm not an experienced worker either.
Hello.
Your hairstyle is a bit modest and calm,
so I plan to do your makeup brighter than usual today. What do you think?
Make it as elegant as possible.
I'm going to have a meeting with the elders.
I want my makeup to look more feminine than usual.
Understood, ma'am.
(Where are you?)
Where are you?
Answer my calls.
You haven't forgotten about today's meeting, right?
(Be there early.)
(Don't make the elders wait.)
Be there early.
Don't make the elders wait.
And I'm telling you this just in case.
You're not stupid enough...
to cause something that you can't handle.
Shouldn't you start heading there?
"Bring him by any means, or you'll get fired first."
The chairman called me countless times since the morning.
I can simply find a new job and live happily...
even if I get fired.
But it's not the case for you. How are you going to deal with this?
Both families are going to be there.
If you don't show up without telling them,
the chairman and Ms. Bae won't let it slide.
Sir, please.
He must be stuck in traffic.
I can't believe he'd be this rude...
when he knows his future in-laws are waiting.
You're right. It is rude of him.
My husband can be a bit short-spoken at times.
He's more that way today...
because he's sad to wed his only daughter off.
Of course. I completely understand.
You must be sad and upset to wed off...
your one and only precious daughter.
I'm not sure how you can relate though.
She said she chose a decent man,
so I refused all other adequate suitors...
and let her marry whom she wants.
However, he has the audacity to be late on a day like this.
I guess he doesn't feel the same way about Su Bong.
Dad.
May I be excused, Father?
You should've called to say you're running late. My parents...
Why were you late to today's lunch?
Don't you know how rude this is?
Apparently, there was an emergency at the office.
Have a seat, President Lee.
I'm sorry,
but we're not getting married.
President Lee.
I thought I made that clear to Su Bong,
but I guess it wasn't clear enough.
I should've told you before you came out here,
so I apologize.
Do Ha!
Are you sure you can handle the outcome of all this?
I'm sorry.
I'm truly sorry, Mr. Bae.
I'm too embarrassed...
to even face you at the moment.
I'll drag Do Ha along with me...
and make him apologize to your parents.
I'm sorry for worrying your parents like this.
I'd appreciate it if you put in a few good words.
I guess you didn't take my warning seriously.
I asked you in advance because I thought this could happen.
I asked that you talk to Do Ha...
so that he doesn't make any mistakes...
in front of my parents.
I'm so embarrassed that I'm lost for words.
I'll try to persuade my parents in any way I can.
However, next time,
you'll make him behave even if...
you have to break his legs to do so.
Ms. Bae, I see that today's event has greatly upset you.
I don't think I've ever seen you...
frown in front of me before.
You're wrong...
because I still haven't frowned yet.
If something like this happens again though,
I don't think I can keep a leveled face like today.
I know why you desperately want Do Ha to marry me.
You know the power the media possesses.
Media outlets hold power that even money can't buy...
and that's why you want this marriage.
So that I don't use that power...
against you or the entire MK Group,
you must help me.
Please.
But I can't abandon myself
I can't give up
I won't settle
Nor hide
Up ahead
Towards the light I'll run
I will yell at the top of my lungs
Now, I know it wasn't me who was born in this way of time
And chose the destiny of growing younger
The suffocating darkness which dragged me down
- Will disappear now - Will
- Disappear, disappear - Disappear, disappear
- Forever - Ensemble, add power!
- Disappear forever - Disappear forever
- Though my time ticks backwards - Though my time ticks backwards
- I will keep on walking ahead - I will keep on walking ahead
- I am the only one in this world - I am the only one in this world
I will bless myself
- I bless - Though my time ticks backwards
- Myself - I will
- Keep on walking ahead - Keep on walking ahead
- I am - I am
- The only one in this world - The only one in this world
- I will bless myself - I will bless myself
- I - I will bless myself
- Bless myself - Myself
That was great!
That gave me the chills.
It'll be good to go once the balance with the ensemble is perfected.
We'll gather again after a short break.
- Yes, sir. - Sure.
Hello?
Yes, this is she. Who's calling?
You must be busy,
so I'm sorry for asking you here.
Have some tea.
Ms. Choi Mi Ka.
Yes?
You have very kind eyes.
Do Ha's been like this ever since he was a boy.
Those who are kind, weak, and vulnerable.
He never just walked passed them.
I'm guessing that's why he's drawn to you.
The feelings he has for you...
are just like those of a boy...
who held onto an injured dog all night...
that he found hurt on the side of the street.
It's not an issue to want to help and comfort it...
when you're young and clueless,
but what does that mean for the dog...
that must learn how to survive the world?
Would it not be different?
I'm not sure if you're aware of this,
but ever since I had my second son die before me,
I don't feel the same as I used to in the past.
I don't intend to give you a hard time...
and humiliate you.
If there's anything you need,
be straightforward and tell me.
I...
am not a stray dog on a street.
Is that how you took my words?
That wasn't what I meant.
I'm sorry if I made you upset.
I refuse to receive anything from you.
I have no intention of getting help from Do Ha either.
Is that right?
Then...
does that mean...
you have no intention of getting involved with Do Ha?
That's how it sounds to me.
Then...
we won't have to meet again...
and talk about issues about him over some tea anymore, will we?
The chairman seems to have taken Mi Ka.
Why did you call her in?
What ridiculous threats did you make against her?
I told you there was nothing between us.
Why would you make her suffer when she has nothing to do with me?
You crazy punk.
At the meeting where the elders from both families were gathered,
you turned...
your father, your brother, and even your fiancee into idiots.
But you ran in here out of anger...
because of that mere girl?
I clearly told you that I wouldn't get married.
You wouldn't?
It was you...
who held onto Ms. Bae...
for years on the premise of marriage.
This can't be solved...
just because you don't want to get married anymore.
Ms. Bae...
said she'd mess with our company using the influence of MJBC.
She looked me straight in the eye...
and threatened me to break your legs if I must...
to put you back in the seat.
Will you come to your mind...
after having both our company and family blown to shreds?
I'll take the responsibility...
- for any possible circumstances. - How?
On what grounds are you so confident?
From now on,
you won't be able to put your hands on even a dime of the company funds.
If you still don't give in,
I won't end with calling that girl in...
and persuading her nicely like today.
I'll send her out of the country with money.
Father!
Like Ms. Bae said...
I'll break your arms and legs if I must...
to make you give in.
You can never call off this marriage.
Mi Ka.
I'm sorry...
for making you go through this when it's already tough enough.
I'm fine,
so don't worry.
I want to run to you right away,
check if you're really okay, and apologize.
But since I promised,
I'll hold it in for now.
I need to go practice.
I'm hanging up.
They want me to act Yeon Hee.
I want to perform on stage until the end.
But I can't do that if you're next to me.
Until the musical ends,
I'll watch you from this distance.
He might be really late.
Should I try calling him?
There's no need to.
Okay.
It must be him.
You're late.
She forced into the house and stopped me from calling you too.
Have a seat. We need to talk.
He must be exhausted.
It's not that he's exhausted.
He wants to see the end of it with me.
She remained seated for a long time...
and left just now.
What are you going to do, really?
I'll look for investors first.
The budget can be small, and Director Cho is pretty renowned,
so it won't be too hard to find investors.
- Woo Jin. - I won't forget to...
keep my eyes on Mr. Choi either.
I'll report to you right away if there's a problematic situation.
Don't worry.
In order to fight against...
both the chairman and Ms. Bae,
you better stay on your toes.
Gosh, I knew this from coming.
That's why I tried to stop you so many times.
Well, it's water under the bridge. What can we do about it?
I should at least be on your side to fight with you.
Thanks.
Don't say that.
You know what happens when people change so suddenly.
Judging by her eyes today, she's beyond furious.
Think carefully on how to deal with this.
I had to add something,
but all I found was a lot of bean sprouts in the fridge.
They don't look appetizing, but they're actually good.
Come on. It's not that bad.
Why don't you try some first?
I sighed not because of this, but because of you.
What about me?
Don't you think I know...
you're making excuses about being friends to come see me?
But I have no choice.
I miss you.
I'm applying for job openings like crazy.
I'll have interviews and get employed soon.
It's because I like you.
I'm trying as hard as I like you.
I don't need such effort.
What?
Even if you get employed...
or even become a CEO of some company,
I won't date you...
as long as you're Mi Ka's brother.
If you have time for this,
go take care of your mother and sister.
Why are you bringing my family up here?
Is that an excuse this time?
What then? Should I get rid of my name from the family register?
What? "Family register"?
You think you're making any sense?
It's because you keep giving me ridiculous excuses.
Grow up already, Wi Jin.
Are you even aware of what your sister is going through?
What about my sister? What is she going through?
Anyway, I don't want to add more trouble to my friend...
by getting involved with you one bit.
So please stop coming to see me...
while I'm being nice.
Gosh, it was so hard to make this gimbap.
It's good.
Isn't it way beautiful in person?
Right.
Let me show you the wedding shoes too.
Rainbow roses mean, "Dreams come true."
Let's get married, Su Bong. That's my dream.
I'm rich and pretty. I'm such a flawless woman.
If you want to make a deal with me, you have to bring what I need.
Something like love.
Love?
Of course, I love you.
Maybe I should've...
accepted his proposal back then.
When will your fiance arrive?
Pack the dress and shoes so that I can take them with me.
Okay, ma'am.
Mr. Park has called the office...
regarding the shooting date for your wedding pictures.
Okay, I'll talk to him on the phone.
What about the theater? Did you try to contact them?
What do you mean, you don't know?
They suddenly notified the cancellation,
so there must be a reason.
They wouldn't answer.
They repeated saying that they'd just pay for the cancelation fee.
It's making me frustrated too.
It's only a small-sized theater,
but they want to cancel it despite the cancellation fee...
which is three times more than the down payment.
It means there's an unspeakable reason behind this.
Persuading won't work.
Let's look for another theater.
Okay.
By the way, I've realized the budget hasn't been executed yet.
It'll be taken care of in a few days.
Let's make a list of available theaters first.
Ms. Bae is waiting at the cafe on the first floor.
What do you think? Aren't they pretty?
Should I give these shoes to you like the last time?
Do Ha will dump me, get rejected by his family,
and be left alone with you with nothing in his hands.
Is that what you truly want?
Give up on the musical and leave.
Go study abroad, or emigrate to another country.
Ms. Bae.
Or...
I'll stop you from doing this musical.
It's not just empty talk.
I already canceled the theater.
From now on, I'm planning to persuade the cast members...
to drop out of it.
Because of you, the entire troupe will be damaged.
I know you aren't bad enough to put up with that.
You're the bad person, Ms. Bae.
The cast members are practicing so hard just for the musical.
How can you threaten me that you'll take away the venue and stop it?
It's not a threat.
Look, Mi Ka. All I need is Do ha.
The hardworking cast members?
Your dream?
I can trample on more than those if I have to.
I can never give up on him.
So you leave.
It'll take some time,
but he'll come back to me...
only if you're gone.
No.
I'm not the matter.
Someone like you,
who will take things from people regardless of how they feel,
does not deserve Do Ha's love,
even without me around.
Are you okay, Mi Ka?
Follow me.
Let's talk outside.
I told you to leave her alone.
I told you to not go near her. What do you think you're doing?
That's what I should be asking you.
You stomped out of the family meeting.
I visited your house just to see you,
but you pretended like I was invisible.
Wasn't that enough?
Were you afraid I might give her a hard time?
Were you afraid something might happen to her?
Was that why you finally recognized my presence?
How could you drag me out in front of her? How could you?
I got angry, clung onto you, and begged...
just so you could love me.
I desperately wanted you to see me.
I'm going crazy day by day because of your indifference.
Am I really out of your concern?
I'm sorry.
I put you to this torment.
It's all my fault.
Don't apologize.
I've never asked for your apology.
Marry me.
That's all I want.
Su Bong.
Don't say it.
She'll die without me.
And I can't live...
without her either.
Then what about me?
I'm sorry.
I really am.
I'm truly sorry.

Mi Ka.
Please call President Lee.
She's headed to the rooftop.
Ms. Bae!
Don't!
It's dangerous. Please come down.
Su Bong!
Stop this and step down.
I'll die too.
Without you,
I won't be able to live either.
I can't give up.
(About Time)
You can do this, Mi Ka.
Do your best so that you don't regret it.
I'll move on.
I've tried everything I could to have you,
but you still won't marry me.
Promise you'll forget too.
Forget about my atrocious last moments.
The mood is nice here.
I also can see trees.
It's still very nice.
I love you...
more than yesterday...
and more than a minute ago.
I love you, Mi Ka.
