TRUE TO LOVE
ALL CHARACTERS, EVENTS, LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
Don't get ahead of myself.
EP 12 LIKE A SCENE FROM A DRAMA
Would you like to go to a movie with me?
Shall we then?
Attention.
Why don't we wrap it up early today?
-Really? -Sounds great.
Sounds good!
-Yes! -Sounds good.
All right.
Let's all wrap it up early then.
And let's
all go to a movie together in the evening.
-Pardon? -Why?
Today is "Culture Day."
As people in the culture industry, we need to do our share.
U-ri.
Please gather opinions on which movie to watch today
and book tickets.
Sure.
Isn't it nice? All of us watching a movie together.
Yes.
U-ri.
I'm expected to pass out with a severe stomachache later.
No need to buy mine.
I'm expected to help my co-worker who has a severe stomachache.
I'm expected to give my co-worker with a severe stomachache
and another one who's helping him a ride to the hospital.
I see.
I'm feeling under the weather.
I have a previous engagement.
Same here.
CULTURE DAY: JINLEE RSVP LIST DECLINE, NO RESPONSE
Did you meet the aunts?
Right now?
I have plans today.
It won't take long.
Come and say hi to them just briefly.
I bragged about my son so much.
If you don't come, I'd be so embarrassed.
Play a good son like this at least.
Okay.
I'll just pick up the bill and take off.
-That's it, okay? -Sure.
Sang-jin. I booked movie tickets.
By the way, where are you off to?
I'll head there straight away.
I have somewhere to be right now.
Text me the ticket information.
I see. You'll really come, right?
Of course I will.
This way, sir.
She runs a pediatric dentistry.
She was briefly married and divorced, just like you, so...
Mom, please...
I said I don't want to get married.
Who told you to get married?
Just sit down and have a meal with her, for my sake.
After that, I won't butt in anymore.
Hello.
I'm sorry I'm so late.
I was stuck in traffic.
It's okay. I just got here, too.
MOTHER
Please enter Theater 3.
Sang-jin. I'm running out of battery.
I'll be waiting in front of the theater.
What a coincidence.
I know.
Did you come alone?
No, I have company.
She's been looking at us.
What's that?
Bo-ra.
They watched the same movie as us.
-This is... -Nice to meet you. I'm Su-hyeok's mom.
This is my husband.
Pleasure to meet you.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello, sir.
I didn't know you were on a date, son,
with such a beautiful lady.
Thank you so much.
But you look more beautiful.
Oh, my, that's so sweet of you.
I've never seen him with a woman before.
That's why I thought you were into men.
Honey...
Not that I would mind that at all.
You know that, right?
No matter what you say, I'm always here to listen to you.
I'm always waiting for you to reach out to me.
If you have a hard time and need some comfort,
come running to me whenever, okay?
All right, Mom.
-Father. -Right.
A-young, let's stop interrupting his date.
Shall we go on with our own date?
All right.
-It was great meeting you. -Same here.
I wish we could have a meal today.
But I know you two must have your own plan.
-Let's have a meal when you're available. -Sure.
When are you available?
-For me... -You should go.
Let's go.
-Take care. -Let's go.
Shall we go now?
Okay.
You don't take after your father.
What's that?
He's incredibly sweet.
They seem like such a sweet couple.
I was actually surprised.
I can't believe a married couple
like in a drama actually exists in reality.
A married couple who still hold each other's hands,
call each other by first names, and enjoy a date.
By the way, why do you call her Mom
and call him Father, instead of Dad?
Men usually call their fathers just "Dad".
Is that how you were taught?
That's true.
I called my mom "Mom"
and my dad "Father."
My mom got divorced when I was little.
She married again
probably when I was in 5th grade.
So my current father is my stepfather.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
No need to be sorry.
Of course you didn't know.
Now that I think of it, I've never talked about this
to anyone other than Sang-jin.
My father fell in love with my mom at first sight.
He wanted to marry her right away.
Little did he know that
she was six years older and had a son.
Until they got married,
the opposition from their parents was so severe
that it was quite dramatic.
It really sounds like a story from a drama.
Fearless, romanticist younger man's love story.
A child who witnesses his parents' divorce
learns something first before figuring out what love is.
"People who were in love could no longer love each other."
"Love can change."
That's the reason why I feel uncomfortable showing my emotions
and surely have a problem with my love life,
according to my mom's analysis.
As a child,
I hardly cried or smiled. I had my nose in a book all the time.
She was so curious what was going on in my head.
So she started studying child psychology late in the day.
She got a PhD in child psychology.
So does she say she can understand you now?
Nope.
She said she can understand other kids, but it's still hard to understand me.
It's always like that.
Same here. Others' romances are easy,
but my romantic relationship is hard.
The mind of a loved one is always complicated.
As a child,
when you see your parents being at each other's throats but not divorced,
you know what they learn?
"Revealing the very deepest emotions between a man
and a woman is ugly."
"It's very meaningless and sad."
That's perhaps why it's so hard for me to be honest in a romantic relationship.
That's based on my analysis.
Anyways, that is why I loved dramas.
At first, I turned the volume up on the TV
'cause I was just sick of hearing them fight.
Seeing the characters slap each other on the face, throw water on the face,
scream, or run each other over with a car, was somewhat comforting to me.
I thought, "This is how people live."
"My family is relatively normal."
Only later did I realize that it was called "soap opera."
Sang-jin. I'm running out of battery.
I'll be waiting in front of the theater.
U-RI
The phone is off.
You'll be connected to a voicemail and be charged after the beep...
-Hey. -Is the movie over? Did you guys have fun?
What? Yeah.
I'm tired. I'm going to turn in early.
Let them eat something nice, my treat, and say bye to everyone for me.
No, I'm not with them.
I checked U-ri's message late.
And all the others replied that they couldn't make it.
What?
Where are you now?
Me?
I'm...
Okay, anyways... I'm hanging up.
U-ri.
Sang-jin.
You're very late.
Something came up out of the blue. I checked your text late. I'm sorry.
But why did you just keep waiting?
You should've left if I didn't come on time for the movie.
While waiting,
it crossed my mind that you might not be coming.
Still, I just waited.
U-ri.
Do you know I'm divorced?
Yes.
I heard Su-hyeok mention it many times, so I'm aware of it.
U-ri.
I like you very much.
Yes, so do I.
No, what I mean is,
I...
don't deserve it.
I don't deserve to receive your heart.
Don't worry.
Everyone deserves to be loved.
Because we were all born to be loved.
That's right.
I want to work with you for a long time,
as co-workers who feel comfortable and have fun
with one another, on good terms.
Like we are now.
Do you understand what I mean?
Yes.
But...
I haven't even told you my feelings about you.
That's why I'm bringing it up first.
'Cause if you do tell me, I'd have to say no.
And I'll have to see your face at work tomorrow.
Saying, "Good morning!" or "Good job!"
We might not be able to do all that, as it'd be awkward.
I'm being considerate of you.
That's awfully considerate of you.
You should have let me say how I feel about you.
Even if I get rejected,
I've been wanting to tell you
that I've come to have feelings for you.
You can probably never imagine
how much courage I mustered up today.
Cheers.
You are aware that you're pretty nice-looking, aren't you?
You give a compliment with quite an offensive tone.
Thanks.
That wasn't a compliment.
That is a very big weakness,
according to my analysis.
That is why having romances was possible for you, despite all that,
because they put up with you.
So your dating skills have not improved.
So then,
are you good at romances?
Seriously?
Are you kidding? I'm Deborah.
Though I have to admit I got dumped too.
I mean,
I'm quite a catch.
If we go out together, who do you think will be dumped?
Aren't you curious?
That's pointless.
Why is it pointless?
In the World Cup, the third-place match is the most ruthless.
If losers have a match and lose again,
there is really no going back.
Let's say you're the dumper.
Because I don't care.
Are you sure?
-Promise? -Yes.
But it's not possible anyway.
You and me?
Well, it's not entirely impossible.
You said you hate me.
You said, "I don't hate you."
-That's... -No need to explain.
I knew it all along anyway.
When we met for the first time...
Rings have no use in the first place,
but I guess it needs a purpose.
It was written all over your face.
"I despise you. I really despise a woman like you."
The first four seconds decide a first impression.
To reverse that,
it takes an impression that's 200 times stronger,
or more than 60 encounters.
So it still should be the same.
You see...
I said that wasn't the first time we met.
Where then, at a wedding hall, me in a black dress, walking in slow motion?
Unbelievable...
You're making up complete fiction.
You could write a scenario.
I'm not that creative.
You really don't remember it.
Cheers.
By the way,
what kind of woman is "a woman like you"?
I'm really curious.
"A woman like you" is a woman like me.
Me...
A woman like me...
Maybe I'm needy.
I just hope everyone likes me.
I'm sure you already know that I'm an attention seeker.
I'm pretty shallow.
If an expensive clothing is missing a logo,
I feel so, so disappointed.
Disappointed?
And this glass is not half-full.
It is half-empty.
"Oh, no! I have to fill it up."
I get anxious and pessimistic.
I fret about even the tiniest things.
That's what I am.
Not that attractive, right?
Some might find it attractive.
Some might like you for it.
What kind of irresponsible consolation is that?
You mean something like this?
"I love you just the way you are."
How magical.
There might be at least one person.
You don't need many.
All you need is one person.
So where in the world is that one person?
Where?
Perhaps,
not that far away?
I mean,
he might be closer to you than you think.
Don't be fooled by those romantic eyes.
Why are you looking at me like that?
How did I look at you?
Dangerously?
Did I?
The day when I oddly didn't get drunk no matter how much I drank.
The day when I felt okay sitting in silence.
The wind felt pleasant,
and the night that got longer felt short.
It was the last day of autumn,
and the first day of winter.
Is it too late for another drink?
Well...
One drink wouldn't hurt, I think?
Then where should we...
I'll tell you what.
How about a drink at my place?
Don't get ahead of myself.
Don't be fooled by those romantic...
Shall we then?
No.
That was such an inappropriate suggestion.
Right?
Alcohol at night, privately alone in the house.
That's such a cliché.
Of course, it won't affect us though. Because we are Mulder and Scully.
Still, just to play it safe.
Right.
-I'll get a taxi. -Okay.
Sounds good.
Taxi.
Get in. No, I'll get in first.
No wonder, I suddenly felt drowsy and low on energy.
It was because it's bedtime.
Bo-mi must be waiting for me.
-What's that? -What? My sister.
Oh, Bo-mi...
This is me.
I'm off.
Okay, get home safely.
Okay.
Thank you.
Here.
I said we should just grab a beer.
Why did you feel like wine?
To get in the mood.
Jin-woo. We left out something important.
Flirting. That's the most exciting part.
So you want to flirt with me?
-Now? Isn't it too late? -We can do this.
This is our blind date. We've never met before, got it?
I heard men are attracted to a woman they first met.
Do I have to have a blind date?
All right.
Start.
Hi.
Hello.
I'm Lee Yu-jeong.
Your name is...
I'm Yang Jin-woo.
Jin-woo.
What are you into? Like hobbies.
Well...
I like to...
rip it up,
wash it,
heat it up,
and make it seethe vigorously?
I mean cooking.
Jin-woo. What were you thinking of?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Hold on.
But if your hobby is cooking...
Well, technically, you didn't say you're good at it.
What's your secret ingredient that makes food
taste like metal and cosmetics?
For crying out loud...
Jin-woo, is this the best you can do?
You're so out of character. It's so hard to focus. Am I right?
Even you don't eat what you cook, 'cause it's bad.
Get into it. We've never met before.
Here.
So good.
It gets discarded after its sell-by date?
Though it's perfectly fine?
Yes, that's why I eat it all up.
You want some more?
Yes.
Hold on.
BO-RA
Why aren't you picking up?
No need. I know what she'll say.
She'll tell me to come home soon.
She's gotten worse these days.
I'm sure she's just worried about you.
Whose side are you on?
I'm on your side, of course.
You're right.
She's worried about me all the time.
"What is she going to do with her life?" "Until when is she going to be like this?"
She thinks I'm really pathetic.
Why wouldn't she?
Even I think I'm pathetic.
What on earth made you think that?
It's just...
I thought I'd become something.
But this is it.
This is what I've become.
There's nothing I'm particularly good at or I want to do.
I find myself kind of pathetic and lame.
You're not lame. If you were lame, why did I fall in love with you?
You were just out of the army. You weren't thinking straight.
You would have fallen for any woman.
No, I wouldn't have.
For two years, all I saw was girl groups. My standards for women are so high.
You haven't tried anything yet. That means you can do anything.
You're pretty, so you can model.
You can be an actress, and...
Since you're a great dancer,
you can be in Street Woman Fighter...
Went too far.
You can drink really well, you're great at cursing,
you're good at arguing.
You'd make a good killer.
When you said, "I'll kill you if you follow me."
You were so charismatic...
Jeez...
To be honest,
sometimes I don't like myself.
But when I'm with you,
I somehow feel like I can do anything.
So...
I hope you feel the same way.
You're making me cringe.
You got cream here.
Where? Here?
This side.
-Here. -Where?
What was that?
Did you hear the thud?
I don't know. I heard nothing.
Yes, I did.
I heard a thud from downstairs.
Yu-jeong.
We should finish our talk.
Out of my way. Maybe later.
Body talk.
Call 911.
Tonight, there will be a big fire in our house.
So sexy!
Bo-mi.
You can sit here.
Yes, there.
What's with you all of a sudden?
Remember what I always tell you? I'll protect you.
I will really keep that promise.
I protected my country for two years.
Of course I can protect the woman I love.
Fine, good luck with protecting.
Okay.
By the way, who are you protecting? Me?
Yes.
From what?
From you?
I think so.
Sort of.
So are you protecting me from yourself?
Who wins in that fight?
See, it's...
me who loves you
versus me who loves you more.
If you ask me who wins...
Is that so?
Then whom should I root for?
You can do it.
I will count to three.
One.
Two...
Good morning, Bo-ra.
You came early.
Hi.
What's up? You look chipper.
I feel happy.
Let me get you some coffee.
Sure.
Jin-ho.
Yes?
What was your last name?
I'm Yang Jin-ho.
Yang Jin-ho...
They say the Generation MZ
do "SFDA."
"Sleep First Date After."
What's your take on this?
Sleep first date...
How can they sleep first before dating?
Really?
Here's what I think.
Even though things have changed,
taking it so lightly is not so desirable.
Love without responsibility is mere self-indulgence.
Self-indulgence.
Being irresponsible and doing as one pleases is called self-indulgence.
Pursuing only pleasure and satisfying one's needs is not love.
If you love someone, you should protect and take care of that person...
Young boomer!
Jin-ho, run.
Jin-ho...
I'm not done yet.
To protect my employee, you can't do this.
If he quits because of you, what will you do? It's hard to find a part-timer.
I wouldn't do this if I didn't have to.
He keeps making her stay out late.
Hey, Bo-mi has always been like that.
Don't you think you feel that way
because you're such a homebody these days?
Nonsense.
I watched a movie, drank last night.
I got home late after doing all that.
With whom? With Su-hyeok?
Hold on.
I'm all ears.
Do tell me. I'm getting dizzy.
You saw a movie and drank, and then what?
Nothing...
Here's the material you requested.
As for my project proposal that I gave you yesterday,
I haven't received any feedback.
If there's nothing to revise, may I proceed as is?
Oh, this?
I looked through this.
You did a lot of preparation. Good.
Very good, if you make a bit of corrections.
I marked the corrections here.
Have it confirmed again after the corrections.
Yes, sir.
Dear my Daddy-Long-Legs. As you said you'd accept my heart,
this is my heart. With love, Judy.
Why did he invite you over in the first place?
What's so inappropriate about that suggestion?
It's not like you are having an affair.
That Mulder and Scully thing?
Can't they sleep together?
They might have slept together, at least once.
I don't know. Go ask them yourself.
Well, I don't know about Su-hyeok.
-How about you? -About me?
Did you want to sleep with him? Would you have if he wanted to?
At that moment, were you trying to remember
if you were wearing matching underwear or not?
You did.
Then what's the problem?
You said making him fall for you is easy.
You can just seduce him.
I can't.
He knows too much about me already.
Well, it has its own merits.
So it's something like this...
"When I'm with him, I can be my true self."
Sort of.
What do I do with you?
This is even more dangerous than wanting to sleep with him.
By the way, if it works out between you two,
remember I set you up with him.
Then I'd get Cha, Cha, Cha?
Unbelievable.
You're so persistent.
Yeon Bo-mi.
Why are you here?
You think this is your store?
I'm here for a part-time job interview.
Part-time job?
Hello, sir.
Bom.
I came for a part-time job interview.
I often heard that I could land any part-time gig.
Am I hired?
What would you like? Iced vanilla latte? Enjoy and have fun.
If you hire me,
I'll kick out nuisance customers
and share Yu-jeong's whereabouts,
setting you free, sir.
And?
And...
I know Yu-jeong's weak spots.
Okay. You're hired.
Jin-woo!
I agree!
First off, one iced vanilla latte, please.
I'll just go with the flow today.
How are sales?
Does it get busy on weekends?
Jin-ho.
Come here, Bo-mi.
This is the secret room.
Looks like Bo-mi is better at dating.
How cute. They make a good couple.
Right.
Pyramid scheme and voice phishing scam victims.
Indeed, they're a match made in heaven.
How's it coming along?
Why are you hiding it?
Can't I check on how far along you are?
-Did you come to push me to hurry? -No, I didn't.
It's my job to support and encourage your creative activity.
When are you going to show me? Don't you need some feedback?
Not yet.
I'll show you when it's more organized.
Okay.
You see...
I might move soon.
I've been packing, so my house is a total mess.
What's that?
That's why I couldn't invite you that day.
Sure, I understand.
Am I right? A house is a private space.
It's not so easy to invite someone.
Also, I thought it'd be rude of me
if I ask you over without any preparation.
Okay, I do understand that.
Can we not talk about it now?
Okay.
I'll properly invite you once I'm done with moving.
I could invite many people, like you did before.
Like my co-workers from the company.
Or you could come over alone.
But would that be too boring? There's not much we can do alone.
I get it. You can stop.
I'm not coming.
I'm not dying to be invited. I won't go, even if I'm invited. Okay?
Okay.
I'm sorry, but we have a rule of one order per person.
Please order first.
Oh, my!
Hi, Su-hyeok.
Do you work here?
I started today.
What would you like to drink?
I'll have an iced Americano.
You heard him.
Please order at the register, ma'am.
You've been holding this seat with two drinks all day long.
It's quite frowned upon.
Okay.
I get it.
I'll go order then.
-Su-hyeok. -Yes?
-What do you think of my sister? -What?
-She's nice. -I know, right?
What a relief.
In that case, can you hang out with her till late, please?
She's always either here or at home.
She feels lonely and cries every night. Don't you feel sorry for her?
Okay.
You're such a good sister to care about her.
I know, right? I'm such a good sister, right?
Happy now? I hope you will at least serve it.
Hope you have a great time.
Jeez...
What are you going to do on the weekend?
You have a wedding to go to.
Your ex's wedding at that.
Are you really going?
I haven't decided yet either.
I did get the invitation, and I told her I'd definitely be there.
You want to go with me?
What?
You're asking me to go everywhere with you.
Why would I go there with you?
The thing is...
I guess you two were very close back in school.
It's strange I've never heard about you.
Anyways, see you at the wedding.
-Sure, I'll be there with my girlfriend. -Okay.
But why are you asking me?
Because it's not entirely wrong.
Girlfriend.
Female friend.
Right.
Right, we're friends.
Why? I mean,
if you feel uncomfortable to go with me...
No. Sounds good.
I should just act like I'm your girlfriend.
Brace yourself.
I have a knack for method acting.
Do you have some specific plan of action today?
For what?
What do you mean? A plan for revenge.
That's why we're here today.
No, I just...
Congratulations.
-Thank you, Su-hyeok. -Thanks.
Hello, I'm Su-hyeok's girlfriend.
Oh, hello.
We're in a committed relationship, with marriage in mind.
We met not that long ago,
but we fell in love, real deep.
We're thinking of next spring.
Right, honey?
That's right.
Congratulations.
But it's not a shotgun wedding.
Was it too much information?
So funny.
-I'll see you in there. -Okay.
-Congrats. -Thank you.
Thank you. I'll give you meal coupon now.
Okay.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
Chief Editor, how are you? You're here.
Look who it is. Chief Editor.
I know. We run into each other quite often.
I didn't expect to see you two here.
Here's your meal coupon.
Su-hyeok!
I really did not expect for the four of us to see each other again like this either.
Your wedding was also here...
Right, Topaz Hall on the second floor.
Yes, the food was better there.
-Galbitang, right? -Right.
I remember that day.
You know, terrifying experiences get ingrained in your mind vividly.
The ceremony will begin shortly.
I'd like to invite all the guests to be seated.
The ceremony's about to start. Let's get inside.
You should go
to the bride's waiting room.
If not now, you won't be able to talk to her.
Then go inside first.
BRIDE'S WAITING ROOM
-Okay, good. -You look so pretty.
-See you in a bit. -See you in there.
How do I look?
Awkward, right?
You look pretty.
Pretty enough to make you regret?
I'm thinking about shouting out,
"I object to this wedding!" later in the hall?
You can make a joke like that?
I feel sorry
and thankful.
But I feel more sorry than thankful.
A little more.
I'm thankful and sorry too.
But I'm more thankful than sorry.
Way more.
You made me realize
that I should have no regrets.
I'll take a picture of you two.
-No. -No thanks.
-Just take nice pictures of her. -Sure.
Where's Sang-jin?
Here comes the bride.
Kyung-sik called off his wedding.
-He did? -Yes.
-Out of the blue? -Hey.
Are you okay?
It's okay, man.
Being divorced isn't a flaw these days.
Why did you get divorced, Sang-jin?
Did you have women problems by any chance?
I heard you had a lot of women.
What are you talking about?
Was there any other reason?
No, I...
Or was it bad chemistry in bed?
That's nonsense.
It's nothing like that.
-Tell us. -Why can't you tell us?
Then when will you remarry?
Do you have someone already?
Do we have to give him a monetary gift again, if he does?
Hey, go for it. Get remarried.
You're divorced as I couldn't go to your wedding.
I'll give you a big check reflecting the inflation. So go ahead.
Do you really have someone?
Let me ask her directly.
Su-jin.
What's there to ask? Cut it out.
What is wrong with you?
Why are they so curious about that? Are you?
It's rude to ask that.
Well...
But...
I am curious, too.
I like your honesty.
-Su-jin, why don't we catch up... -Stop.
I can't stand this. Seriously...
Let's catch up in a while.
-You should just... -What?
-How have you been? -Hello.
There was no special reason for our divorce.
It was just personality differences.
Each person has a different level of tolerance for their partner.
A couple who holds out till the 10-year mark
to benefit in alimony payments, longing for the day,
or a couple who only texts under the same roof
and acts like lovebirds
only during family events or social gatherings.
Or a couple who had no guts
to divorce and chose to be a long-distance, weekend couple.
We could have lived like those couples.
But we just made the choice that was available for us.
I do not think it's fair to ridicule us or make a mockery of us for that
for a very long time.
I hope you will never divorce
and stay married till death do you part. Okay?
Aren't you getting up?
You feel like eating that roll?
Let's go. I know a great steak place nearby.
-I'm off. -Bye.
Hurry up.
Oh, our go-to for our anniversary...
Not sure if I can make a reservation.
-Bye. -Take care.
Personality differences.
She's overbearing.
We're all dressed up, shouldn't we make the best of it?
The first floor is a great photo spot.
Bo-ra!
Are you still here?
We waited to talk with you.
Tell me, haven't you made a decision yet?
I thought about this a lot.
Since it was the first show with your name,
I thought you were really attached to our program.
I guess I was mistaken.
I'm getting a little upset.
You know that's not what it's about.
I'm so attached to it
that it's harder to make a decision.
-Is that what it is? -Yes.
Then think about it.
I'm really grateful.
We can't wait for long.
-Call me. -Bye.
-Let's go to the first floor. -Let's go.
Give it to me. Let me take pictures of you.
Make me look good.
Here.
Are you taking it?
No...
Not when I'm looking at the camera.
-Take a natural shot. Naturally. -Okay. So...
Look toward the other side.
No, you're just looking at the other side.
Look toward it.
-I am looking at the other side. -Okay, okay.
This way. Turn your whole body.
No, left is my good side.
So take pictures of my left side.
Stand over here.
Yes, right there.
Your right side looks good. Just trust me.
Trust me just once.
-Your right side looks nice. -I'll delete them all.
See? This is more natural.
-Is it? -Yes.
You're not the type who likes flowers, are you?
I thought you weren't.
You are so clueless.
All women like flowers.
So,
how did you feel seeing your ex-girlfriend's wedding?
Were you happy to at least see her?
What, am I filming a movie?
I know that's why you went.
That's not it.
When I met Yu-ri's fiancé that day,
I made up a story that I was friends with her
from school and I was meeting her to get an invitation.
Had I not gone to their wedding today,
he would have felt something was fishy for a long time.
Men are always like that.
Men act cool on the outside,
but inside, we're petty and pathetic.
So you went there for the happiness of your ex?
But you know what?
Yu-ri probably doesn't know how hard you tried
and how thoughtful you were.
She'll never know all her life.
Women are like that.
We never in a million years know if we don't hear it.
Where should we go now?
I don't want to go home early today.
I wasn't actually asking you to dinner.
I don't want to eat alone.
I was cursed by someone
to eat alone for the rest of my life and to die out of loneliness.
That's why I feel uncomfortable when I see you.
You regret that you married me?
I was a beat-up car, right?
No?
I know, when women talk about their ex, they call him a beat-up car.
Indeed, I was a beat-up car.
The crappiest beat-up car.
I'm eating here.
Good thing you got out of that car.
I just realized that I'm such an awful, worthless human being these days.
I think I'm getting even worse.
Not getting any better.
So?
You want some comfort?
-From me? -No.
I want you to give me an earful, "Didn't you know you were awful?"
No.
If I did, I'd feel even more uncomfortable.
Back then,
I had some problems.
Can't you see I'm holding a knife?
I feel uncomfortable, too. That's why.
Hear me out just once.
When I was starting the publishing company,
everyone around me said it wouldn't work out.
But it was easy-breezy for me. Everything was going well.
So I wanted to make it big, and I aimed too high.
With a series of distribution companies going bankrupt,
mid-sized publishing companies like us went bankrupt one after another.
I was in over my head.
After my father passed away,
I soon lost all the money from my mom who was sick of running a business.
I had loans from everywhere, and even borrowed money from my friends.
I couldn't put an end to it, even though I wanted to.
I ran around everywhere to figure out a way out in any way I could.
I wasn't in my right mind to muddle through it. I don't remember it.
And eventually,
I had to tell you that we'd have to vacate our first house.
But I couldn't possibly tell you that.
That was what happened.
That was why.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because you were ashamed?
Maybe I was.
I guess...
I wasn't someone you could rely on.
You must have felt very lonely.
Back then...
I thought letting our marriage end was the least I could do for you.
But now I realized
that I just didn't have guts and I was a coward.
I'm so sorry.
Okay.
That does it for me now.
It's good enough for me.
I don't regret that I married you.
Thanks to you, I realized I want to stay single.
I thought you were a crappy car, but that might not be the case.
Maybe I was a crappy car.
I'm sorry
that I blamed you for everything.
Still, throughout all that,
you said, "It's all my fault. You were good for me."
And you put up with all my family's resentment. Thank you for all that.
Now, let me lift my curse.
Now go out and meet someone.
Although we were crappy cars for each other,
we might not be so for someone else.
Am I a dachshund or what?
What's with this proportion? There is no good shot at all.
I said left is my good side.
Why did you have to snap the right side the whole time?
By the way,
did you decide not to do the radio show?
You're changing the subject.
Well,
it's hard
and I did that for a long time.
And I don't want to be hated.
-Why? -Nothing.
You seemed to put in a lot of thought.
So I thought you wanted to do it. Am I wrong?
I want to,
but I can't.
I'm sure I was a huge letdown.
What they expected was Deborah, but...
But...
they got just Bo-ra instead.
I don't have the courage.
You know what your problem is?
You don't see yourself objectively.
The right side of your face is so pretty.
But you believe only the left side is pretty.
I'm not buying that.
You don't even give a chance.
You haven't really revealed what kind of person Bo-ra really is.
They might like Bo-ra better than Deborah.
I'm not falling for that.
I mean it.
From when did you start doubting what I say?
Probably since your method acting?
That story you told about love at first sight,
you made all that up so naturally.
Anyways, I like Bo-ra better than Deborah,
and the right side of your face than the left.
See?
How pretty.
Why do you keep doing this?
Doing what?
Why do you keep...
doing that?
Why do you keep seducing me?
Would you be seduced if I do?
How would I know?
Right.
Shall we
go for a walk?
-Sure. -Okay.
No way.
You're so little.
Now I'm not, right?
Are those invisible high heels?
I like this height better.
Because it's better for you?
Let's go this way.
Okay.
Now I'm not little, right? I'm taller than you.
You're still little.
You're a little kiddo.
PHOTOS
WEDDINGS
As for the first time I met her,
we ran into each other at a wedding of our mutual friend a few years back.
I still vividly remember it.
Bo-ra was in a black dress and turned toward me.
That moment, it felt like time passed slowly. It was in slow motion.
Then when our eyes met,
she took my breath away.
TRUE TO LOVE
I want to start over.
Don't worry. You'll do great.
This story is from 6958.
Hello, listener 6958.
Hello, Deborah.
Bo-ra, let's start over.
I want you to give me a chance to get to know you better.
Did you talk with him?
I talked with him all right.
-You're dating him, right? -Me and Sang-jin?
U-ri, you must've watched too many dramas.
Or is it more like Cinderella?
It was just me. I had a crush on Sang-jin.
So you've been letting Jin-ho stay downstairs all along?
Why couldn't you tell me?
'Cause you have a girl hiding in here?
I heard from Bo-ra that you became close through work.
I thought you were dating. It was just a wrong impression.
Do you have feelings for Bo-ra?
Does an ex-boyfriend have the right to do this?
I congratulate you on starting over.
Your radio show and relationship.
