Sun Jae!
Is it perhaps...
Sun Jae. Perhaps,
we should have never met in the first place.
Yes. We should've never met.
Hey, Sol.
- Is that right? - I'm sure.
Wake up.
- Why? - No.
That's not what I said.
Oh, I heard it wrong.
So this is what you were trying to say?
- What's that? - Steamed eggs?
It's okay when it's made like this.
I don't think she knows.
You try it.
I think she is like...
That's the worst.
You know what?
(35-1, Nuri-dong)
Thirty-four dash one.
(34-1, Nuri-dong)
It got delivered to the wrong house.

(34-1, Nuri-dong)
Sun Jae, listen to me. I can really see ghosts.
You really have to be careful around water!
I didn't ask you to comfort me.
Have I ever asked you to look out for me?
I'll be honest. With the way you treat me,
it's embarrassing and awkward because I feel like...
you can see my despair and pain.
- Here. - Why did you sing...
in front of so many people for something like this?
You're the one who was worried about a useless thing.
Why?
Can I not worry about you?
No, you can't.
Let me ask you one last question.
In all your times, have you ever liked me?
No, I haven't.
Sol. Stop running away from me.
Just pursue your feelings for me.
If I end up dying to save you,
I'll be fine with that.
That doesn't matter.
What are you doing, Sol? Hurry up and get in.
Coming.
(House Removals)
(34-1, Nuri-dong)
I guess they're moving out.
("Sonaki")
(Rehabilitation Manual Therapy)
This is the movie that will receive the award.
(Episode 14)
Don't open it beforehand.
I won't.
Let's go in.
It's a beautiful night.
Sun Jae.
What are you doing?
I saw you...
stealing this.
Are you a thief?
No, I'm not.
I'm sorry.
Where do you think you are running away?
Should I report to the police?
Why are you crying, then?
I didn't make you cry.
Why are you crying, then?
I didn't make you cry.
Do you think I'll let you slide if you cry?
- Hey. - Oh, you were here, Sun Jae.
Please go to the waiting room now.
Please give this to Ms. Lee, the CEO of Bon Cinema.
The security here is too lax.
- I saw a thief. - A thief?
I tried my best to avoid him. How can I meet him like this?
They didn't say Sun Jae would be attending an award show.
Why did he come?
Did he come to present an award?
She is...
It's an honour...
that I'm attending the White Dragon Film Awards again...
- after last year. - I'm home.
- This year, there were many... - You've come.
- exceptional Korean films. - How about dinner?
I don't want to eat.
First of all...
Did you get the resignation letter back?
- Yes. - Let's see the nominees...
for Best Film.
Why did I write something like this?
Here are the nominees.
- "The survival story of..." - What?
"Utopia of..."
Exploring the good and evil that exist within people.
Out of all the formidable contenders, which one will win?
(The 45th White Dragon Film Awards, the Night of the Filmdom)
It's in my hand.
- The 45th White Dragon Film Awards. - Oh, no.
Best Film goes to...
Oh, no!
"Sensible, Savvy, and on Top of Everything." Congratulations.
(Viral Clip at This Hour)
This is crazy.
Oh, my gosh.
Turn it off, will you?
Let me watch it just one more time.
There are news articles already.
"Ryu Sun Jae Who Was the Highlight of Award Ceremonies..."
"Becomes an Embarrassment Today"
What a sentence.
"'He Brought Down the Dignity of the Award Ceremony' Versus..."
"'It Was Funny Mistake, '"
"Online Debates Heat Up"
"Best Film Goes To 'Sensible, Savvy, and on Top of Everything, '"
"and Ryu Sun Jae Is Sensibly Drunk"
Are you going to read it all night?
Sun Jae.
Anyone can tell something about this is off.
How did you make a mistake like that?
Give it to me.
Do you think you can notice something strange on a live show?
So even if you saw someone stealing Ms. Lee's purse,
you should've left her alone.
Why did you meddle...
and cause trouble like this?
Should I just stand by and do nothing in the face of injustice?
The man who doesn't stand by, Ryu Sun Jae, congratulations.
- Congratulations. - You little...
She was definitely drunk when she wrote this.
But I feel bad for her after reading this.
I understand why she wanted to quit.
Give it to me.
Whose side are you taking?
I was humiliated in front of everyone in the country...
because of this weird woman.
Are you going to sue her or what?
Don't do that.
She's just a poor Korean office worker.
And everyone...
carries a resignation letter with them like this.
(Letter of Resignation)
I'll accept it right away.
- I said I would accept it. - Sun Jae.
Should we reveal her letter to the media...
and explain ourselves?
Never mind. They will lose interest...
and calm down after a few days anyway.
Yes. Be generous and let her slide.
Who said I would be generous?
- What if you're not? - What if you're not?
She should hope she never meets me...
ever again in her life.
- He's so scary. - He's scary.
- He's scary. - Right.
Darn it.
The girl in the white padded jacket is here again.
I'm sorry.
The investing company wants to make a decision...
after they see the actor who will replace Park Do Jun.
Everyone in the industry knows...
that it's his replacement.
- I'm sorry, Sun Jae. - Do you think there would be...
- a better actor? - You don't deserve to live, Sol.
Let's go outside and die.
I think it's going to be hard.
- Who would want to replace him? - Ms. Lee,
Bo A vomited,
- but I can't reach Mr. Im. - But we should find one!
Im Geum, you punk, where are you and what are you doing?
I'll try to find one.
Would there be anyone?
Well...
If we...
How about Ryu Sun Jae?
Sun Jae? Not him.
Ryu Sun Jae?
Do you think he would want to replace Park Do Jun?
Why don't we send him the script at least?
When he turned down our casting offer for "Hero" last time,
he said he wanted to work with us next time.
He must've just said it to be polite.
But if he says yes,
the investors would like it more.
- Yes. - Yes.
Hurry up and send him the script for "I Want a Kiss," then.
I'll contact him separately.
Producer Im, did you revise the proposal?
Producer Im.
Pardon?
Oh, yes. I sent an email to the team.
I'll read it.
Yes.
- Okay. - There's no way...
he will say yes, right?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(We're sending the script to offer him a role in our movie.)
Hello.
Yes. I'm sorry.
I'm at work right now.
I'll tell my husband to go right away.
I'm sorry.
Okay. Bye.
(The mail was sent.)
I don't think this was the title.
(Synopsis)
(Logline)
"The story of a man who meets a tragic end..."
"and a woman who travels back in time 15 years to save him."
"A fantasy romantic film where they meet again..."
"in the time of destiny,"
"falling in love as they move between the past and the present."
"When I found out that I would never be able to walk again,"
"every time I went to bed at night,"
"I prayed..."
"that morning would never come."
"That day, the morning sunlight..."
"streaming through the window in the rehabilitation hospital..."
"made me unbearably sad as always."
"And the man on a radio show who happened to call me..."
"said this."
You should live your life...
today...
because it's a great day.
"It will rain tomorrow."
"Then as you wait until the rain stops,"
"live another day."
"If you keep this up,"
"there might come a day when life doesn't seem so miserable."
"When I was shivering in the pouring snow..."
"on a bridge over the Han River,"
"he strode over to me..."
"and held an umbrella over my head."
"There are choices you make..."
"even though you know the consequences."
"Because you like it."
I love you.
"Falling off the cliff,"
"the man dies once again while trying to save the woman..."
"in the past, in the year 2009."
"Perhaps,"
"we should have never met in the first place."
"Yes. We should've never met."
"Realizing that the man died..."
"because of her,"
"the woman decides to sever the link with him."
"She decides to remove herself..."
"from his life."
"Losing all the memories about her,"
"the man is living his life."
"Looking at the man who is shining from afar,"
"the woman thinks..."
"that things are in the right place now..."
"and that they were not meant to meet in the first place."
"The song that exists only in her memory,"
"'Sonaki, '"
"is playing quietly."
(I didn't want it to stop. On the day you first came to me, )
(I didn't want you to be the rain that soaks me wet only momentarily.)
What's this?
Hey, they sent us the wrong script. This is what they sent again.
- Sun Jae. - Dong Seok.
Yes?
Am I...
crying?
I think you are.
These are tears, right?
It's coming out of your eyes.
So it can't be snot.
I can't stop crying.
Dong Seok.
Are you going to treat me to lunch at an expensive place like this?
Is it a special day?
Is someone else coming?
Actually, he received your proposal...
instead of the script of "I Want a Kiss."
What?
And then?
Sun Jae saw it and said he was interested.
What?
What is this? She wrote the proposal?
Do you know her?
"Sensible, savvy, and on top of everything."
She wrote the resignation letter.
She did?
Oh, gosh. Let's go inside quickly.
- I'm not doing the movie. - You're declining all of a sudden?
Yes. I don't want to do it all of a sudden.
No matter how upset you are,
you can't decide that based on personal feelings.
"Personal feelings?" That's not the reason.
This movie won't be successful. I don't like it.
Wait.
No.
I should say I won't do it myself.
She should pay for humiliating me. Don't you think so?
- Oh, my. You've come, Sun Jae. - No.
- It's been a while. - We can't meet like this.
Take a seat.
It's nice to meet you.
No. We've met before.
Oh, my. You guys have met before?
Where?
Have we not? I guess I was mistaken.
Sun Jae, I guess...
you really liked the proposal.
You even got a basket of flowers for us.
I think there were miscommunications.
I actually came to decline...
I'm sorry.
I hope you decline the movie.
Pardon?
- I'm sorry. - What kind of joke is that?
- Sun Jae, were you surprised? - It's not a joke.
He's a little far from the main character I had in mind.
The proposal wasn't supposed to be sent anyway.
So please forget about it.
Are you...
rejecting me?
Yes. I'm sorry if I offended you.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm not offended.
I came here to refuse the offer anyway.
I prepared these flowers...
as an apology for my refusal too.
I'm relieved that we're on the same page.
I hope you refuse all the proposals...
with my name on it from now on.
Are you saying you don't want to work with me?
If you think that way and feel offended again,
that's even better.
Because you would never...
want to be associated with me...
again.
I'll get going first then.
I have some work to do.
Oh, my gosh. She's...
My goodness.
I'm sorry. Excuse me for a moment.
It won't take long, Sun Jae.
Please give me a minute.
Sol.
What was that?
I think she turned you down.
Let's go.
It must have hurt his pride.
It probably hurt his feelings too.
But...
it's for the better. I did the right thing.
I'll never see him again anyway.
Sun Jae, you've never been turned down...
like this since your rookie years, right?
No. I don't think you got turned down...
this harshly even in your rookie years.
Take this as an opportunity to return to the basics...
and think seriously about it.
You might have been in a rut unknowingly.
What? "In a rut?"
Also, it's understandable that she rejected you.
It's a romantic movie, right?
I've seen you for years.
Unlike how you look, you're a dummy at dating.
You're weak in that field.
"Weak?"
What are you talking about?
Hey, what do you know about my dating history?
- Keep your eyes forward! - Right. Yes.
Are you going to stay rejected, though?
I didn't get rejected. Inwardly,
I turned it down first.
I think she decided to turn you down millions of years ago.
- What? - It's been a while...
since a proposal won your interest like this one.
If you're unhappy about how it turned out, talk her into it.
"Talk her into it," my foot.
Do I have no work to do other than that?
Why would I lower myself...
to someone who doesn't like me?
Let's talk for a second.
I have nothing to talk about.
I think you do.
If it's about the movie, I already told you everything,
so you should talk to my boss.
"Sensible, savvy, and on top of everything."
"You told me that's who I am."
"If that's the kind of employee I am,"
"how could you do this to me?"
"That is such an ick."
What does that mean?
What? That's my letter of resignation.
Is it really okay that I talk to Ms. Lee?
Make sure to cover your face when you leave just in case.
I'll contact you.
Why here of all places?
You got out of work late.
Are you sure you're an employee...
who is sensible, savvy, and on top of everything?
Just tell me what you want to tell me. I'm busy.
I want to know why you're against me so much.
Did you wait until I got out of work just for that?
I wouldn't have waited for you to drink tea at the bar, would I?
Who are we to do that?
Is it because...
I mistook you as a thief at the award ceremony?
That's unfair, though.
Because of you, I caused an accident on air.
The envelopes got swapped by mistake.
I'm sorry.
Apology accepted.
I'm sorry for mistaking you for a thief.
Okay. Well...
Good.
You no longer have a reason not to cast me.
You're wrong.
That's another story.
I have many reasons not to cast you.
Tell me those reasons.
Like I said,
you don't have the image of the main character that I had.
If it wasn't me, who did you consider?
What?
Well, it was...
Well...
Seong Jae Gyeong.
What? "Seong Jae Gyeong?"
You're just saying whatever comes to your mind.
How can he portray young romance when he's about to turn 50?
Is there a rule forbidding him from doing it because he's 50?
He has to go back 15 years and play a high school student too.
Didn't you write the proposal?
Computer graphics technology is superb these days.
Also, Seong Jae Gyeong still looks young.
If we touch up his wrinkles a bit,
he can even pull off a middle school student.
Let's say that's true.
What are the other reasons?
Honestly,
I prefer someone who does romantic acts better than you.
Are there more?
I'm going to find an actor with a fresh image.
- And I look stale? - In fact,
you're less fresh.
Are you picking a fish at a grocery store?
- You keep looking for freshness. - More than anything,
the sky is against it.
It says it will never allow you to do it.
Who says so?
Grandma Celestial says so.
She's good with something like this.
My fate says if I get involved with a guy...
who was born in the Year of the Horse,
my family will decline for three generations.
Of course, that guy's family too.
You were born in the Year of the Horse.
"The Year of the Horse?"
The compatibility of zodiac signs? Are we getting married?
Compatibility is crucial in this business.
Ms. Im,
do you believe in things like fate?
Yes. I do believe in fate.
I'm not going to do anything that fate doesn't allow.
I believe that you fully understand the reasons now.
I'll get going.
It's so ridiculous that it's driving me crazy.
Ms. Im, do you believe in things like fate?
Yes. I do believe in fate.
I'm not going to do anything that fate doesn't allow.
What kind of dream was that?
I guess she despises you.
What?
She wouldn't reject it like that...
unless she hated Ryu Sun Jae as a whole.
Why would she hate me when we just met?
Why would she like you when she just met you?
My friend, let go of the idea...
that everyone in the world will like you.
Anyone can hate us.
Gosh.
Bringing it up the Year of the Horse was petty, indeed.
Seong Jae Gyeong was born in the Year of the Horse too.
What?
- He was born then? - Yes.
He was born in 1978, the Year of the Horse.
Gosh. I knew the reason was random.
Is this how she's going to play?
Yes, hello?
This is Ryu Sun Jae. Can we talk...
Why did he call me?
What was that?
"What was that?" She heard you but ignored you.
How can she ignore you after hearing your name?
She is completely ignoring you.
Dong Seok.
You call her.
"Production investment?"
He must be swimming in money.
Yes, he must be.
No thanks.
I think we can make the film with our own capability.
It's not even a blockbuster.
She declined your offer.
She can pay me half as much.
- You can pay him... - No.
Tell her I'll be in the movie for free.
He says he'll do it for free.
I'll decline that offer too.
Tell him that it makes us uncomfortable if he goes that far.
I did.
I won't go on a vacation, and I'll hold my schedule...
just to focus on the movie.
Tell her that.
Please tell him...
to enjoy his vacation and fulfil his schedule.
- Let's meet and talk. - Gosh.
I have a meeting to attend. Bye.
She hung up.
- Gosh, Sun Jae. - Why?
Why does she hate me so much?
Is it because you were born in the Year of the Horse?
That's not it. Also,
don't you dare talk about the Year of the Horse in front of me.
Hey, Sun Jae.
Give it up before you get humiliated more.
Sometimes, you get turned down too.
Why do you insist and humiliate yourself...
There must be a good reason.
Your makeup looks good today.
Hey, stop right there!
Darn it.
Hey!
When did she sneak in again?
Gosh.
Let's go. Be careful.
Mom. Stay right here, okay?
Stay here. I'll be right back after throwing these away.
Yes, ma'am.
Gosh.
What?
Mal Ja?
I'll head home now.
- Bye. - Get home safely.
Okay.
(Mom)
Yes, Mom.
Sol, your grandma went missing in a blink.
What should I do?
(General Civil Services, Traffic Investigation)
You're here. This way.
- Grandma! - Grandma.
Grandma!
(Ryu Geun Duk Galbi)
Mr. Ryu, the grandma by herself at Table Five...
is eating five servings of food alone, and it's strange.
I don't think she's in her sound mind.
Okay. I'll check.
- Take care of the counter. - Okay.
Ma'am, do you find the food okay?
How would I tell you when I just had a bite?
I'll have to eat some more to find out.
Yes, of course.
Goodness. You had five servings of meat by yourself.
Do you need anything else?
For me? Gosh. Thank you.
Nice.
The blue entrance?
Pardon?
That's right. You lived across from my place.
I'm from Gold Videos.
Don't you remember it?
Goodness.
You're the lady who lived across the street.
What a coincidence!
- Gosh. Have you been well? - Goodness.
My goodness.
So, your son has become that successful?
Usually, I hate boasting about my son.
But out of 10 Korean people, about 9 of them...
About 11 of them would know my son.
He's just a little successful like that.
Gosh. He can even beat Na Hoon A in his heyday.
Come on.
Tes!
He has a long way to go to catch up with Na Hoon A.
For my son's recent concert,
I heard about 50,000 people showed up.
That's a mere talent show in a small town.
Since it's been a while since I saw you, let's toast.
For your...
good health and longevity!
- Gosh. - Thank you.
Gosh. Speaking of which, look who's here.
My son is here. Son!
Come on, Son!
How much did you drink, Dad? Gosh.
Hey. I'm not drunk.
Also, I still have the food you brought me last time.
Why do I have to come and take more?
- How dare you. - Gosh.
Hey! Say hello.
You remember the video rental shop across your childhood home, right?
She used to live there.
- Say hello. - What?
- Hello. - He's my son.
Husband!
Hush and stand tall.
Hey. Where did you go last night?
Did you go and gamble again?
- Dad. - Ma'am, please let him go.
I can smell the face powder. You must have gone to a teahouse,
not the gamble joint.
Which teahouse waitress were you with? Was it Kkot Bun?
Was it that Cho Hee? Which one was it?
- Ma'am. - My goodness.
I was such a fool...
to marry you when I was 18 because of this sleek face.
My goodness.
Sun Jae.
- I think she has dementia. - Gosh.
Ma'am.
(Traffic Division 1)
Wait. Did she get on the bus?
Hold on.
You're right. It's bus number 72.
Check the security cameras on its route...
- to see where she got off. - Okay.
Yes, Mom.
I asked Tae Seong, so we're looking at the security camera footage.
Sol, we found your grandmother.
What? You found her?
Where?
Someone saw her contact info and called us.
Apparently, she ate at a restaurant without paying.
The owner of the restaurant is bringing her home right now.
So hurry home.
What a relief!
Sol.
Thanks for helping me today when you must have been busy.
I have enough time to drop you off.
Also, drive whenever you can.
- It's dangerous these days. - Did something happen?
Someone attempted to abduct a woman.
Because there's no evidence, we don't even have a suspect.
So, go home right away when it becomes dark.
When you're working late, call me.
I'll drop you off if I can.
Forget it. Be this nice to your girlfriend, not me.
I thought you were my girlfriend.
I'm not your girlfriend.
You're not my guy friend, are you?
You can't see your friend as a woman.
Yes, Captain.
- Right now? - Go ahead.
I'll be right there.
Get in.
And tell me how your grandmother is doing.
- Drive safely. - Bye.
Okay.
Bye.
He must be your boyfriend.
How did you find out about my house?
Your boyfriend is a sweet guy.
He's not.
Also, I'm taken aback that you're here...
after looking into my address.
Is that so?
What?
What are you doing?
I'm not going to get in that car.
I have nothing more to say.
Just go back.
Are you really going to let me go?
Aren't you going to regret it?
Of course not.
I already turned you down.
We have no business seeing each other again.
I said I won't get in the car.
What? Are you going to threaten me again with the resignation letter?
Is this funny to you?
Yes, it's funny.
Is it fun to play around with my livelihood?
Go ahead and tell my boss about everything.
I can't take it anymore because you keep looking for me.
I'll just get fired instead.
Even his personality has changed completely.
Let go of me. I'm not a pushover.
Even if you grab and beg me like this,
it just won't work!
Sister, where are you going?
I heard the restaurant owner would drop her off.
My father owns a restaurant.
I guess you're shocked.
I went to my father's house after a while.
And I was shocked to find this.
Gosh. You're here.
I should have picked her up.
Thank you for dropping her off.
Hold on. I should treat you before you go.
Do you want to go upstairs?
It's all right. You can head back.
Hey. I want to pee.
Okay.
Still, it won't be right to send you off like this.
My bladder is about to explode.
Okay, Mom. Hold it for a second, Mal Ja. Yes.
Sol. Buy him a cup of hot tea...
before he leaves. Okay?
We'll get going. Thank you, sir.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Let's go, Mal Ja.
- Let's go. - It's exploding.
No, hold it.
Here.
I took you wrong.
Thanks for dropping her off.
You have to buy me a cup of tea.
There is your tea.
Is this how you treat a person you want to thank?
Cafes around here are all closed at this hour.
If a rumour between us cooks up because we're in an open space,
are you going to take care of it?
- But there's no one around. - We have to be careful.
Such rumour can be detrimental...
because I'm an actor specializing in romance.
Since when?
(Sweet Coffee)
- What about it? - Listen.
Look me in the eyes.
People often tell me I'm a man of a romantic gaze.
What?
Look!
(Fresh, Early Morning Delivery)
It's right on time.
Did you see that? The advertiser acknowledged...
that I have a "fresh" image.
Are you trying...
to make yourself look good to join my project?
No. Not at all.
I was only pointing out a fact to you.
I still have a fresh image...
and would be a great actor in a romantic movie.
If you turn me down, it will be your loss.
I see. Is that so?
Come on. They must've recognized me right away.
Reporters might publish that we're dating.
- Act like you're my stylist. - What?
Well, although you're not so stylish.
Kids.
Don't be shy. Come here.
- Yes! - Nice!
What do you want? A photo? An autograph?
Mister,
- can you buy us some cigarettes? - Oh, dear.
Don't you recognize me?
- What's he talking about? - What is he on?
(Sweet Coffee)
I see. I get it!
You can buy some coffee for yourself with the change.
You know, for your trouble.
Kids! You shouldn't be smoking!
- Go away. - What?
- What was that? - Go away now.
What a boomer. Seriously.
- This is so annoying. Let's go. - What was that?
Is this funny to you?
Yes. It's funny.
I've never seen you laugh before.
- Are you done laughing? - Yes.
All right.
You should go now.
My father told me that...
we used to be neighbours.
You were the daughter of a video rental store.
I used to live across from your store.
Have you seen me all those years ago?
No.
I haven't.
Then have I seen you before?
I'm wondering if that's why you look familiar to me.
I haven't seen you before. How could you have seen me then?
Is that so?
By the way, could the shaman be a quack?
Even if we hadn't met before, given that we were neighbours,
isn't that fate?
It's just...
a coincidence.
A coincidence?
I won't change my mind just because you were my neighbour.
Even if...
my CEO offers you the role, please turn it down.
Please do that for me.
What if I tell her I want to join the movie despite the fact...
that you're against casting me?
What will happen then?
I hope you won't put us in that situation.
Then I'll get going.
Look me in the eyes.
- Is this funny to you? - Yes. It's funny.
Let go of me.
Even if you grab and beg me like this, it just won't work!
I'm home.
What? You're back so soon.
Did you send him home already?
Yes.
He said it was fine and left.
Geum and Hyun Ju are home too, right?
They're putting the kids to sleep.
Hey, he's not the owner of the restaurant, right?
He didn't sound like the guy on the phone.
He must be an employee or something.
No. He gave off some special aura.
His face, height, and voice too.
Besides, I swear I've seen his face somewhere.
Where did I see him?
Yes. That drama.
Ryu...
Sun...
Ryu Sun Jae. Yes. That must be him.
He can't be Ryu Sun Jae. That doesn't make sense.
I think it's him.
Mom, stay here for a bit.
I'm hungry.
Grandma.
You can't wander off all by yourself like that.
How did you know about the barbecue restaurant?
Don't go back there ever again. Okay?
Okay.
- But I did well, didn't I? - What?
You missed him.
Mom! Come inside.
Yes!
Yes. You're right, Grandma.
I missed him.
Given that we were neighbours, isn't that fate?
I know I shouldn't feel this way.
But I want to keep seeing him,
now that I've met him a few times.
She's a middle school student who ran away from home.
The method matches the method of the last attempted abduction.
I think it's the same culprit.
Luckily, before she got abducted, she asked a passer-by for help...
and managed to escape.
Do you feel calmer now?
Should we talk when your parents get here?
No.
I'll talk now.
Sure.
Did you happen to see his face?
Yes.
I know remembering what happened will be tough.
But could you tell me what happened in detail?
Honey!
I already got Bo A ready for kindergarten.
Her braids look good, don't they?
Get my heart. Get my cheek heart.
Ta-da.
Should I massage your shoulders?
Gosh. You must be tired.
Bo A! You look beautiful.
Bo A. I'm busy today. Go to kindergarten with your dad.
- Okay? - Yes.
By the way, Dad,
I don't think Mom can see you.
That's because I'm wearing an invisibility cloak.
Only those who are pretty can see me.
Bo A. Let's go. Say goodbye to your mom.
- Bye. - Bye.
Give her a kiss.
Have a good day.
Let me give you a kiss too.
Honey, have a good day.
He's so frustrating.
Where's my scarf?
What's this?
He wasted money on this stupid lottery ticket again.
Hyun Ju. Shouldn't we go to work?
I'm coming.
What? Why?
"Why?"
Because Ryu Sun Jae wants to do it. Do you need a reason?
He liked your proposal for the movie.
Even so, he can't.
So what if you say no? What are you going to do?
Do you think finding a top star who would join a romantic movie is easy?
I heard you kept turning him down, saying you didn't want him.
What you did at the restaurant was one thing.
How could you keep calling the shots without running it by me first?
Do you think this is a joke?
Given what happened to Park Do Jun,
we must do whatever it takes to get Ryu Sun Jae to join.
It won't matter even if you're dead set against it.
Okay.
Then proceed with the movie.
I'll quit my job.
Gosh.
Is that a threat or something?
No, it's not.
I really can't work with Ryu Sun Jae.
No. I must not.
So I'll give up working on this movie...
and leave the company.
What?
Hey, are you serious?
Thank you...
for everything.
Hey.
Sol.
What's gotten into you? You can't be thinking straight.
Yes, I'm thinking straight.
Why did you do it?
If you hadn't sent him my proposal by mistake,
this wouldn't have happened!
Hey. But all in all, didn't this work out better for you?
No.
You have no idea how it felt to cut him out of my life.
Cutting him out of my life had been crazy hard.
We can't meet like this again.
Sol.
What's wrong? Is something wrong?
Why are they filming the commercial outside in this cold winter?
Did the weather warm up today?
Hey.
Do you know a song called "Sonaki?"
That's a common title.
There are so many songs with that title.
How does it go?
Nothing.
Ms. Lee, the CEO of Bon Cinema, called earlier to set up a meeting.
But someone else will be joining the meeting as the producer,
- not Ms. Im. - Why?
I heard Ms. Im wouldn't be working on this movie.
But this was her idea.
- She's not going to work on this? - Right.
By the way, what's the movie about?
Why are you going this far to get a role in it?
It's about a woman...
who goes back 15 years in time to save a man she loves.
Nothing is so special about the plot.
Right. It's not that special.
It's odd.
Her phone is turned off too.
You don't think she's seriously quitting her job, right?
Gosh. No way.
I don't think Ms. Lee is taking this seriously either.
I'll talk to her when I see her at home.
She said her dream was to become a movie director.
It makes no sense that she'll just waste this golden opportunity.
This is odd.
Did something really happen between Ryu Sun Jae and her?
I mean, she wouldn't hate someone like this without a good reason.
What is it?
That's...
This place hasn't changed one bit.
We can meet again in the future...
and come back here together.
It's a pity that I didn't even get to keep a picture.
How could I?
That's impossible.
Gosh.
How many hours did I stay here?
Sol.
Sun Jae.
- The shoot might be cancelled today. - Why?
The actress in the commercial was in a fender bender on the way here.
- Is she okay? - Yes.
Well, there's nothing we can do.
It's cold today. Let me go and pull up the car first.
Give me that. I'll be back.
It's this jerk.
Tae Seong.
- I got his composite sketch. - Okay. Give me that.
It's him.
Yes. Wait here.
Okay. Go inside, please.
I'll close the door.
- I'm with her. - Okay.
What... How did you...
Don't tell me you're suspecting me of tailing you.
I was going to film a commercial here.
But it got cancelled.
I remembered the Ferris wheel scene from the proposal, so I came here.
Funny running into you again.
I told you that shaman was a quack.
Given how many times we're running into each other,
isn't the universe basically pushing us toward each other?
Let's say you saw me by chance.
Then you should have carried on. Why did you get in here with me?
We're not on good enough terms to share a ride...
on the Ferris wheel.
I bet you want to run away, but you can't jump out of here.
That's what you were thinking, right?
You can't run away anyway until the ride is over.
Do you hate me that much?
I heard you wouldn't be part of the production for the movie.
Right.
But I quit my job, so...
Why?
I'd rather you didn't.
Why do you care?
Are you not well?
It's not that. Let's stay quiet and get off when the ride is over.
By the way,
is that how it really ends?
- What do you mean? - The end of the movie.
Is the man...
stuck in a life without any memories of the woman...
he loved?
Yes.
That's a sad ending.
It's a happy ending...
for the woman.
She saved the man.
But she lost love.
Can she still be happy after losing love?
See? I told you it was a sad ending.
I don't like the ending.
Then don't join the project.
Why are you being so stubborn?
I was being stubborn at first, but I truly want it now.
I genuinely want the role in this movie now.
Why do you want to play in this movie so badly?
I'm sure you get better proposals...
and offers from better directors and writers.
I've been...
feeling weird lately.
After reading your proposal,
I started to experience weird symptoms.
I suddenly find myself in tears.
I even dream.
A vivid dream as if I experienced it myself.
And this place too.
I've never been here before. But it feels familiar.
Like I've been here before.
Sun Jae.
Maybe that's why.
I'm especially drawn to this project more than any other project.
Am I not allowed to feel this way?
You might die.
What if I tell you...
getting mixed up with me might kill you?
Would you still do it?
Must I be prepared to face death...
to get mixed up with you?
What if that's the case?
Why are you so quiet?
This is so beautiful.
It's so beautiful that I'm speechless.
At this rate,
you and I might end up dead here together.
At that moment, this crossed my mind.
That our fate was just going around in circles just like...
this Ferris wheel.
(Lovely Runner)
Sun Jae.
You'll get better soon. Get some sleep.
The owner of this vehicle is super famous.
So you're going to star in the movie my dear Sol came up with.
Unbelievable. She said she didn't have a boyfriend.
I stopped in the neighbourhood... No.
I stopped by since I was in the neighbourhood.
Ms. Im left the company.
Mr. Ryu.
Stay healthy and have a good life.
Then, goodbye.
I think this is the guy.
Is there such a thing as predetermined fate?
Sol!
Like an inevitable fate that we can neither change...
nor defy.
