[Dare to Love Me]
[This drama is fiction. Characters, places, organizations, and events have no connection to historical facts.]
[Animals were filmed according to production guidelines.]
I ran away from home for the first time when I was 17.
The fact that I felt pressured as the successor of the village...
was just an excuse.
There was a real reason I left.
I'd like to find my mother.
I thought there was a reason Mother could not come back.
She quit a little while ago.
She suddenly called and said she'd move out.
Do you know where she went to, by chance?
I don't know about that.
She even changed the phone number and disappeared.
Thank you.
I kept missing her whenever I managed to find a lead.
Welcome.
Is there someone named Pi Hye Won here, by chance?
Pi Hye Won?
Oh, just a moment.
Finally, after a long wait...
- Hye Won. - Yes.
Outside...
- I was finally able to find my mother. - there's a student in a uniform...
Please tell him there's no such person.
Where are you going?
My grandfather was right.
I was abandoned.
♫ Everything was you ♫
Starting with this show, Hong Do Kim will show off her talents in Paris.
She will be Camille's rising star.
♫ It seems like a dream in one last ♫
I no longer want to be abandoned.
Teacher,
this is it.
What?
Please...
do not approach me any further.
♫ Am I dreaming? ♫
♫ I met you, who resembles stars ♫
♫ You ended up in my arms as if it were meant to be ♫
♫ When I hold you in my arms ♫
♫ Will you say, "It's been a while," and hug me with a smile? ♫
♫ and hug me with a smile? ♫
♫ Even in my dreams, meet me one last ♫
♫ Dream in one last ♫
[Episode 7: Treat Me Rudely]
A press conference out of the blue?
Master did not say anything, either.
I do not know what is suddenly happening.
What was that?
What's going on?
Yoon Bok...
suddenly changed.
Is it because of the letter?
Camille's rising star who will be working in Paris!
Our family's rock. Our family's breadwinner!
Kim Hong Do!
I'm Reporter Kim Hong Hak, reporting to you live.
Ms. Kim, how do you feel?
Geez, move, I said.
Are you already acting like a celebrity?
Where is it?
What are you looking for?
There must be something sharp and pointy somewhere.
I'll finish the interview now.
I'm in front of Seongsan Village, where the Camille fashion show will take place.
A lot of you must be curious about the fashion show.
Excuse us.
Excuse us. Excuse us.
Welcome, Young Master.
Young Master?
Please tell us about the fashion show!
We should say it is not true, should we not?
The Camille effect is too powerful for us to do that.
The village products that were being returned a few days ago are sold out.
The press from all over the world are writing about it.
If we say it's not true now,
the fake product rumor we managed to escape will come back even stronger.
But if we unlock the gate like this, the villagers will feel anxious.
My goodness...
A rash decision will only grow anxiety.
I will carefully consider it and try to come up with the best solution.
How is the investigation on Gamjjok going?
He appears to be nearby,
but I have not yet found a clear clue.
I'm Shin Yi Bok. Nice to meet you.
We're fully booked today, too. Stay focused...
and make no mistakes.
Okay, let's get started.
Yes, sir!
Put more toilet paper in the bathroom.
Okay.
Undercover mission, day 1. I haven't noticed anything strange yet.
It looked like you wanted to avoid him.
Come out a little later.
Do you have a reservation?
- Joon Ho. - Young Master.
I didn't recognize you.
What brings you all the way here?
I stopped by to say hello since I was in the area.
Have you been well?
Yes. As you can see, I've been busy.
Are you looking for something?
[Detective Park]
Excuse me for a moment.
Hello?
They successfully snuck into Seongsan Hall.
That is good to hear.
Please take extra care.
Okay.
- I am sorry. - No, I'm sorry.
You paid a visit all the way here,
but we're fully booked today.
If so, I will make a reservation next time.
Yes. I'm very sorry.
- Well, then... - Get back safely.
Thank you.
By the way, why...
Why are you avoiding Young Master?
It's because I feel bad.
About what?
It's not your fault you left him behind.
My mom wants to see Yoon Bok.
But it looks like it's still hard for him to see us because of what happened.
It's true that we left him.
Do me a favor. Please keep this a secret until Yoon Bok feels better.
I'm not a Seongsan Village resident anymore.
I'm your employee now.
Please talk to me casually, Mr. Lee.
Here's the next story.
A world-renowned designer, Camille's fashion show will be held in Seongsan Village.
The entire world is excited about it.
Whether Seongsan Village will open its door to the public in 17 years is yet to be known.
There is a lot of interest in the new designer who was chosen as Camille's muse, too.
Kim Hong Do, who was hired by Camille personally
is a new designer who hasn't debuted yet.
You look so much happier after leaving Losi Fashion.
You're living the life.
Congrats, Kim Hong Do.
- Hong Do, I'm Soo Gyeong, your classmate in the 9th grade. - Soo Gyeong?
- I saw you on the news. You're wildly successful. - How long has it been?
Let's meet up sometime.
- Through the fashion show... - Whoa.
A kindergarten classmate?
[Jo Soo Gyeong, Intern Han Ji Won, Shin Yoon Bok]
[Shin Yoon Bok]
[Yoon Bok, I saw the news. Are you okay? Let me know if I can help with anything.]
Please...
do not approach me any further.
[Camille fashion show to celebrate France's returning of Korean cultural heritage]
- Hong Do Kim. - Yes.
You'll have to visit the Cultural Heritage Administration.
Cultural Heritage Administration?
Seongsan Village hasn't even responded yet.
Is it okay to just proceed with it?
Why wait for the response? We'll do it, anyway.
Okay.
[Return of cultural heritage from France]
These are three pieces of cultural heritage to be returned from France.
Mr. Shin's hard work is finally paying off.
It's so moving.
Our cultural heritage that was circling around abroad is returning in 100 years.
Please make sure no unsavory incidents occur that day.
Oh, hey.
What brings you here?
I stopped by briefly for work.
I'll get going now.
♫ You faded away with the old memories ♫
♫ I try to erase you little by little slowly ♫
♫ The last piece of you becomes tears ♫
♫ I don't think it'd ever dry out ♫
To me, you are the most impressive and
precious person in the world.
♫ You're no longer by my side ♫
♫ I'm sorry I keep feeling scared ♫
♫ I'm afraid we'd end up breaking up ♫
Look over there.
The sunset here is amazing.
♫ I let you go ♫
♫ Can I smile as if everything is okay? ♫
♫ As if our time together never happened ♫
Hold on! Please, ahjussi?
Stop!
Get your hands off her immediately.
My gosh.
Teacher, are you okay?
Whenever I struggled and felt small...
Why are you so kind to me, Teacher?
What?
Come on, I didn't do anything.
It's my job as your teacher. I should've cared for you sooner.
I've been so negligent.
Whenever I felt lonely and sad...
♫ I don't want to believe this is the end, but ♫
♫ I let you go now ♫
♫ You and I back in the day, which I've been longing for ♫
♫ How did we end up here? You're still... ♫
You will catch a cold if you get rained on.
Yoon Bok always cheered me up.
♫ I'm sorry I keep feeling scared ♫
♫ I'm afraid we'd end up breaking up ♫
Yoon Bok!
♫ I don't want to believe this is the end, but now I let you go ♫
She's always been protecting me.
- Why did I do that? - Why did I do that?
Yes.
I'll get changed and be there right away.
Yes.
[To Yoon Bok, From Hong Do]
I love you.
[Ms. Kim Hong Do]
[I love you]
Yoon Bok, what's wrong?
Why are you suddenly avoiding me?
You said you wanted to be close to me.
Whether it's a salty or sweet day,
you said you'd always cheer me on.
Why are you suddenly telling me not to approach you?
I apologize.
Is it because of that letter, by chance?
- Pardon? - I didn't write that.
Hong Hak wrote it, but it got switched somehow.
It is not because of the letter.
What? What is it, then?
Why are you like this, then?
The thing is...
If so, will you leave for Paris...
after the show?
Of course, I have to go if she'd take me.
I'm really disappointed, Yoon Bok.
I thought you'd be happier for me more than anyone else that day.
I got to join Camille, thanks to you.
So, I wanted to thank you, celebrate together, and be congratulated.
But you suddenly pushed me away.
It hurts, and I don't know why.
Why are you doing this?
Did you...
feel that upset?
Nothing in the world lasts forever.
Seven.
Eight.
A student in a school uniform and gat is here.
- Please tell him there's no such person. - Where are you going?
The heart that was expected to never change changed easily, too.
However...
my fear ended up hurting Teacher.
How disloyal of me.
It is my fault.
- What? - I was absorbed into my emotions
that I did not think you would feel upset.
So, I would like to apologize formally.
- What? - Please wait a moment.
Wait...
By chance...
- Again? - "Teachers are endlessly generous."
Teachers are endlessly generous. One cannot even step on their shadows.
This foolish student dared to hurt your feelings.
Nothing can possibly make you forgive me, but...
My gosh. Are you crying?
Please forgive this inadequate pupil!
You'd better get up now.
I did not expect to be forgiven easily.
They say foolish students learn by being disciplined by their teachers.
What's this?
My heart is heavy.
Please do not refuse and hit me with this-
Gosh!
What's this?
Why would I hit you?
Do you want to apologize that badly?
- Yes. - Can you do it differently, then?
Please ask anything.
Anything?
Well...
How about...
you grant my wishes?
- Wishes? - I have three.
You have three wishes?
Why not? You play rock, paper, scissors three times
and eat three times a day, too.
What? You don't want to?
Well, it is not that.
I will grant your three wishes.
- Go ahead and tell me. - Really?
Hold on. Well...
My first wish is...
What did you say just now?
It's exactly as I said.
Treat me rudely from now on.
How could I dare to treat you rudely?
- I cannot even speak about it. - Yes, yes.
What you said just now. Don't say things like that.
"How could I dare to treat you..." Stuff like that.
And not stepping on my shadow,
sitting diagonally from me,
and walking far away from me.
Don't do stuff like that.
Feel free to step on my shadow...
walk side by side,
sit in front of me, and we'll share a table, too.
That's all you need to do.
I will...
- give it a try. - What?
It's my wish. You'd only try to do it?
Okay, I will...
do as you wish.
Really?
Shall we share the table immediately?
L-Let us.
I'll wait outside. Get changed and meet me outside.
Okay.
Take your time!
Okay.
♫ I just stared at you smiling in front of me ♫
♫ I want to hug you, but I think I'm afraid ♫
♫ I hide it and try to push it away, but it's already here ♫
Yoon Bok, don't obsess over shadows.
Just walk naturally. Naturally.
Okay.
Come.
♫ Come back to my side anytime ♫
♫ For me, if it's you, it's all right ♫
♫ It's like the spring day I don't want to part with ♫
♫ Yes, if it's you, it's all right ♫
What are you doing?
I am looking for a place to face you.
Where you are is fine.
Here?
Yes.
I know this is late, but congratulations on taking a step closer to your dream.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Okay.
I will go back there if you feel uncomfortable-
No, I'm okay. Just stay there.
It is your father's wish.
Please eat just one bite.
Hurry!
I have no appetite.
You have never skipped a meal.
But you have not been eating for days.
What is going on, anyway?
Just tell me what is going on!
Come on!
That's right. That's right.
Gosh, what is it now?
Yes.
What?
Se Ryeong is refusing to eat?
I suppose she felt bothered that Yoon Bok had been
visiting the village with a woman.
Goodness gracious.
Forgive me for saying this,
but how about we discuss the family affairs soon?
You mean Se Ryeong and Yoon Bok's marriage?
Yes. They are both at the right age,
and if we have something to celebrate, there will no longer
be rumors of nonsensical fashion show as well.
You are not thinking of letting the fashion show happen, are you?
I have a plan regarding that matter.
I will think about the marriage.
Do not worry and go back home.
♫ Are you there? ♫
Yeojudaek. ♫ Are you there? ♫
Aigoo, my legs.
I opened the door because you kept asking if I was here.
Why are you so surprised?
No, it's nothing. I am not surprised at all.
I have an urgent favor to ask you.
[Seoul Terminal] Aigoo, the building is taller than a mountain.
My throat feels stuffy here after getting used to breathing fresh air.
What's the problem? I like it.
Be careful.
When in Seoul, if you blink wrong,
your nose gets stolen.
Gangnam is this way.
- Hello. - Aigoo.
You are the Young Master's teacher.
I am happy to see you in Seoul.
Me, too. By the way, what brings you here?
Is Ms. Ca inside?
Ms. Ca?
Oh, yes, yes. Come on in.
Good to see you, Madam Yeoju.
I've been eager to hear from Seongsan Village.
So, what did the old man say?
Master said he would allow the fashion show.
Bravo!
But under one condition.
Condition?
I wish I could allow it unconditionally,
but I cannot make such a major decision alone without the villagers' agreement.
The people here are suspicious of events they are unfamiliar with.
So, come in person and try to persuade them.
If more than half of the village is open to the idea,
the deal will go through.
To have the fashion show, come to the village and persuade the villagers?
Just one moment.
A key?
I prepared a place for you to stay in the village.
Is she shooting a period drama?
Look at her hair. She's the real deal.
It's so funny.
What's she doing here?
Daebak.
Why are you spacing out like that?
Are you sleeping with your eyes open?
I was going to make a bed and lie down here if you came a bit later.
Let us go.
Before we go, let's stop by somewhere.
We still have some time for the bus.
Where are we stopping by?
I need to make dinner for Master.
It is my fault for not knowing how to get around in Seoul.
I suppose I will follow him.
I brought the stuff you'd need.
Are you really sure about this?
Would it be colder than Seoul there?
I need to care for myself there, too, right?
All right...
Hold on. What if I get bored?
That's what I'm saying. You don't have the internet there, either.
What? No internet?
Yes.
I'll need to pick up some books on the way.
You know I hate being bored.
How will you cook there?
You probably can't get food delivered from outside.
Food? I almost forgot about food.
You know the instant rice? The stuff you put in the microwave.
I need to pick up some of that.
Do they even have a microwave?
Do I need to bring that, too?
Are you worried I won't adjust?
How could I not worry, then?
I'm Camille.
If I can't adjust, I'll make them adjust to me.
Let's see.
Looks like cool tones look good on you.
What are you saying?
Try this on.
You want me to wear it?
The hanbok makes you stand out too much.
Everyone was looking at you when you were walking in Gangnam.
That's just what I thought.
Seriously, why...
Try it on.
What do you think?
Do you not notice me as much with this on?
You said I was all you could see.
Maybe you're more noticeable now.
I'll take those.
- Enjoy. - Aigoo.
Is this what I saw on YouTube-
This is called tonkatsu.
It's what sophisticated people in Seoul eat.
Okay. Using a fork and knife is important in Western cuisine.
Using the fork...
pierce it and...
saw back and forth. Back and forth.
Back and forth.
Gosh, what is the deal...
Eat slowly.
You'll get an upset stomach.
When I get more money later,
I'll get you one with cheese in it.
Should we go there?
Is this your second wish, Teacher?
No.
Draw me right here.
P-Pardon?
Hold on.
Here.
♫ A midday dream in plenty of sunlight ♫
♫ I'm starting to miss you ♫
♫ I follow the wind and look for you ♫
♫ When the stars show up in the dark sky ♫
♫ It was so very beautiful ♫
♫ I've been picturing you in the night sky ♫
♫ Like this, I meet you again, like it was meant to be ♫
♫ Oh, I hope I stay with you ♫
♫ I've been hoping for a long time ♫
Are you sure you're doing a good job?
D-Do not move.
Okay.
It is almost done. Wait just a moment.
Are you done? Let's see.
I am not done yet.
Just show it to me.
I cannot. I cannot show you until I finish it.
- Give it to me. - I cannot.
Huh? What's that?
Wow.
You did a good job.
Please get back to your seat.
Okay.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Do you like it?
Yes. It really feels like my dream came true.
I had fun since I got to draw again, thanks to you.
Really?
What is your third wish?
My third wish?
There's...
a place I really want to go with you.
What are you doing?
Can't you see this?
[Frequency that makes your love return]
- I'm waiting. - What's this?
"Frequency that makes your love return"?
[Yoon Ah, please answer me...]
When will she write back?
You're unbelievable.
Why would she write back?
Do you know?
How desperate I am for love that I'm resorting to superstition?
My goodness.
Yoon Ah.
[2023 World Webtoon Festival]
Yoon Bok would be happy, right?
I checked all the CCTV footage with the truck in it,
but I did not notice anything suspicious.
That is so strange.
I will meet the delivery man and double-check to see if we missed anything.
You should check if there are any other issues, too.
Yes, will do.
My Lady?
What is she doing here?
Looks tasty.
[Frequency that makes your love return]
The reason Young Master has been keeping distance was...
The frequency responded!
Yoon Ah-
I am sorry. I touched you briefly due to a situation.
Well, then...
Wait, Yoon Ah!
Yoon Ah, Yoon Ah...
What are you doing?
I want to show you.
Show me what this time?
That I'm not always weak and...
I can be a strong man!
I want to prove that to you.
I do not want to see it. I do not want to.
I've been working out really hard lately.
I got these muscles just this morning.
They might look like a quail egg now,
but they will turn into an ostrich egg soon.
I am sorry.
I felt sorry for you that day that...
I shared drinks with you.
I should have stopped there,
but I made a big mistake.
Mistake?
You probably do not know how hurtful a mistake like that is to me.
Just seeing you is painful to me.
Do not ever show up in front of me again.
Yoon Ah!
Hello?
Pardon?
Yi Bok.
What's wrong? Is something going on?
[Taxi]
Mom.
She was unconscious and woke up just now.
Thank you...
for keeping my kids company.
It's nothing.
They're keeping me company.
What does...
my Yoon Bok like?
Yoon Bok?
He likes webtoons.
- Webtoons? - Yes.
I first met him when I was a teacher at a webtoon academy.
A high schooler showed up wearing a gat and...
so solemnly said...
"I am here to ask you to teach me."
He looked so cool when he said that.
All the kids were freaking out.
And then I reunited with him after seven years.
He said, "I never stopped being grateful for you," and...
gave me seven carnations.
My heart skipped a beat then.
I didn't know your mother was so ill.
Thank you so much for coming with me.
I was so scared when I got the call from the hospital earlier.
If it wasn't for you, I couldn't have even come to the hospital.
Did you contact Yoon Bok?
Doesn't he know she's sick?
I did tell him, but...
I guess he's still angry.
I hope she hangs in there until he stops being angry.
She misses him a lot.
Don't worry.
She'll hang in there.
I'm not sure.
Oh, the cargo was unlocked when I arrived,
but I assumed I didn't lock it properly.
- All right. - Sure.
[The Fastest Delivery]
Teacher.
Teacher, I need to grant your third wish today, right?
Where should I meet you?
[2023 World Webtoon Festival]
Please meet me here.
[Jangho Hospital]
[Please meet me here. 8, 17th Street, Sangmu Road]
I want to see it.
That tree...
I want to see it up close just once.
Do you feel warm?
Is this the right place?
Yes.
[Jangho Hospital]
[Epilogue]
It's your turn now.
Pardon?
I'll draw you.
T-Teacher, I-I...
Why do you keep smiling?
Is there something on my face?
Yes, there's gim* on it. (Means "seaweed")
Do you mean to say jalsaenggim*, by chance? (Means "handsome")
No.
It's wutgim*. Wutgim. (Means "funny")
No, don't move.
I wasn't moving.
Come on. I told you not to move.
I wasn't moving.
Hey, you're moving again.
♫ With nervous feelings♫
♫ Everything was you ♫
♫ It was you in the end ♫
♫ It seems like a dream in one last ♫
Why do Yoon Bok's eyes look so sad?
♫ It seems like a dream in one last ♫
[Dare to Love Me]
I cannot forgive you, Mother.
I will leave you behind this time.
Give this to His Excellency Kim for me.
Master sent a wedding proposal to Lady Se Ryeong's house.
Young Master, are you getting married?
- Yoon Bok. - Please leave me alone now.
Please do not get involved in my business anymore.
