Honey.
(Final Episode)
Are you shaking?
You must be nervous.
- Hello. - Ms. Jung.
- We're here. - Welcome.
- Welcome. - They're all here.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Hello. - Hello.
They are my boyfriends.
- What are you saying? - Goodness.
The world has changed a lot.
I can't believe it.
Congratulations.
Welcome.
(One month ago)
I can wait.
I can wait...
until the day you change your mind,
whether it's 10 years or 20 years.
What if no matter how much time has passed,
my mind doesn't change?
What if you wait your entire life,
but my mind doesn't change?
What will you do then?
I never thought that you and I would never end up getting married.
I was sure that if we fell in love again,
we would live a normal but happy life.
After time has passed, and we both have wrinkles...
and gray hair,
I wanted to hold my wife's hand...
and tell her that...
I loved and cherished her deeply.
But...
that is possible even if we don't get married.
You said that...
you have never been so deep in love that your heart raced, right?
If that's the case...
No, it's not.
I love you, Ji Woo.
I've never doubted that.
Of course, I may have been traumatized...
by my past life without my knowing.
Because I remembered the saying that the tie of a married couple...
is like a millennium flower.
Everyone.
Have you heard the saying, "Marriage is like a millennium flower"?
It means that finding a person to marry is as rare as...
a flower that blooms once in 1,000 years.
However,
rather than waiting a millennium for a flower to bloom,
I want to...
cultivate a field full of flowers that I want.
But the person who decided that...
I wanted to cultivate a field full of flowers I want on my own...
is not one of my past lives. It's who I am now.
I loved the fact that...
I could stay unmarried and focus on myself...
and my career.
Does that mean...
you can lose yourself and your career if you get married?
To some extent, yes.
Of course, I might gain a lot of things too.
But I'm not sure if those are things...
that I actually want.
You can find a way to keep everything.
It would be nice to find a way to do that,
but what if I can't?
I don't know why you're drawing a line.
You could just say that...
you'll think about it...
or that you'll consider it.
Let's stop talking about it today.
Hey. When did you get here?
- I need to change my passcode. - What happened?
We heard you ran out in the middle of his proposal.
That's a ring.
What is this? It's not the ring we saw.
It was a couple ring, not an engagement ring?
- Yes. - What a relief.
It's a relief, right?
It is. She was really stressed out because of it.
What he wanted to give me during the launching party was...
this.
Let me see.
This is the lifestyle toon that you drew.
He asked me what I thought about debuting as a webtoon artist.
- Unbelievable. - But I had no idea,
and I overreacted and made a mess of things.
It was easy to be mistaken.
Why do you look so down? Did you guys have a fight?
We didn't fight.
We talked about marriage for the first time.
I was right, wasn't I?
Mr. Hwang wants to get married.
He said he'd wait until I change my mind,
whether it is 10 years or 20 years.
Hyeon Ju. Marriage seems like a big deal, right?
But once you get married, it's not that big of a deal.
That's why everyone gets married, has kids,
and lives like that, don't you think?
I think it's a difference in values.
Min Jung, you valued...
having a family more than building your career.
And Hyeon Ju feels the opposite way.
As for me, I wanted to get married and be a DINK family.
Whereas Yeong Eun wants a kid more than she wants to get married.
That's right. The lifestyle...
that best reflected my values was staying unmarried.
I didn't choose it because I have some grand philosophy or belief.
I don't really like the term "a person who's against marriage".
That makes sense. There isn't a term for those who want to get married.
Right. Is it right to change my lifestyle...
just because the person I love wants to get married?
It's not that I'm uncertain about Ji Woo,
I'm just uncertain about marriage.
There are two main reasons why people choose to get married.
Either they don't want to lose that person,
or they want to be together 365 days a year.
Which one is Mr. Hwang?
It's both.
But I believe that it's possible without getting married.
Then come up with a way.
Can't you guys compromise...
between getting married and not getting married?
("A Novel Marketing Collaboration, Webtoon and Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals")
Thanks to Min Jung, not only is "Straightforward Dating Life"...
getting a lot of clicks but so is the entire platform.
We are consistently getting calls about ads and product placement.
I knew this would happen.
When you all doubted Min Jung's idea,
only Ms. Seo and I trusted her.
Don't you agree?
Aren't you embarrassed?
A little, little bit
My goodness.
Are you aware that the webtoons you're in charge of...
have the worst performance?
I do.
That's why I'm going to ask Min Jung...
for some tips on how to promote my webtoons.
I already prepared an improvement proposal.
I'll tell you during the meeting.
You really are the new trend in marketing.
I think you have to change your position.
You should work in marketing instead of as an office assistant.
Min Jung, can you come see me for a moment?
Of course.
What is it? Is she really going?
You worked so hard.
You even signed Su Bin up for after school classes to work late.
I'm sure you fought a lot with your husband too.
I fought with him once a day.
If I'm busy, my husband should do household chores and watch the kid.
That is true.
Min Jung. What do you think about changing departments?
We're going to make a Sunwoo Webtoon Marketing Team next month.
Really? I would be grateful.
You will also be paid a bonus this month.
A bonus.
That is the most beautiful word I've ever heard.
Should we get together at your place tonight?
Oh, right. Today's Mr. Hwang's birthday, isn't it?
Yes.
What is this? Did you not make plans to meet today?
It's his first birthday since you started dating.
I'm going to. That's why I pushed back all of my meetings today.
Right. Use his birthday as an excuse to make up,
- and talk about that too. - Talk about what?
Living with each other in little steps.
We'll see.
Mr. Park. I would like to visit you at your studio tomorrow morning.
Are you available then?
Is there something wrong?
I have to tell you about the change in your producer-in-charge.
The story is set until episode 50.
When will you be done working on the new characters?
By this week.
Okay. By this week.
- Hyeon Ju. - What?
Can I change my producer-in-charge?
Me? Am I getting fired?
You're going to start publishing your webtoon soon.
I want you to focus on that.
Park Do Gyum. You're all grown up.
You know how to be considerate.
I was already fully grown 10 years ago.
Okay.
Please assign me to someone else.
If I can't get adjusted to it, I'll ask for your help again.
Okay. Fine.
(I have to tell you about the change in your producer-in-charge.)
(September)
It's my birthday,
but she hasn't called.
Please, come in.
This is the expected budget to manage the marketing team.
I heard your webtoon is publishing next week.
It's all thanks to your support.
Don't mention it. I'm excited to see it.
Thank you.
Do you have something else to say?
Today is your birthday.
Oh, right. It's the day I was born. It's my birthday.
But I have too many meetings today,
and it was too hard to make time.
- So... - I'm sure it is.
You've been so busy these days, and your job is important to you.
Pardon?
But I also have an important event today,
so I was going to tell you that I can't meet today.
Oh, is that so?
That's good. I felt bad for no reason.
If it's an important event, you have to go.
Yes, I will attend it.
Please work hard and do your best during your busy meetings.
Okay.
Then, have a nice day.
Yes, I will.
Let's have the meeting regarding the new projects...
that we pushed to next week today.
- What? - What?
Please get ready.
I'm busy, so I'll go first.
- To the restroom? - Yes.
As expected.
I'm not ready for it.
Please reschedule the meeting I had for tonight.
Wasn't the biopharmaceuticals conference tonight?
Right, but you told me that you wouldn't be able to make it,
so I told them that Director Kim Sun Ho would be going.
Are there any internal meetings?
You asked me to keep your entire day empty.
Should I set up a get-together for the secretarial staff?
No, it's okay. You can go.
Ji Woo. Happy birthday.
My gift will arrive tomorrow.
Do Gyum. It's me.
Did you get my message? Happy birthday.
Let's get dinner tonight.
What?
Are you busy?
It's not that. Aren't you meeting Hyeon Ju?
- No, I'm not. - What?
I'll be there by six. Please prepare everything and wait.
Hello? Ji Woo?
What is he asking me to prepare?
Did he not make up with Hyeon Ju yet?
I'm busy today.
- Good job, everyone. - Good job.
Hello?
Hello, this is Paris Bakery.
I'm calling because the cake you ordered is ready.
- Oh, that's right. - Hello?
I'll pick it up in 30 minutes.
Yes, thank you.
Right. It's his birthday, so he shouldn't be alone.
I'll put in the candles.
Hold on.
Why are there four candles?
I'm 36.
I forgot how old you were, so I took a guess.
But this isn't right.
I only have four candles.
Should I go out and get some?
Whether it's 36 or 40,
it's all the same. Just blow them out.
How is it the same?
Being 36 means I'm in my mid-30s, and 40 means I'm in my 40s.
How is it the same?
To me, it's the same. They're both middle-aged men.
Middle-aged men?
Thank you for preparing a cake for my birthday,
but I don't feel good.
I didn't mean that you were a middle-aged man.
I'm just saying the age is.
But age is just a number.
Ji Woo, I was wrong. Don't be mad.
I'm not mad.
Let's only light three candles.
Ji Woo. What are you doing here on a day like this?
You should have dinner at a nice restaurant with Hyeon Ju...
and have a drink with her as well.
I wanted to do that too.
I emptied my schedule and waited,
- but Hyeon Ju rejected me. - What?
What is this? Is he not home yet?
Where did he go?
Where are you?
I'm at your place right now.
Come home soon, so we can have dinner together.
My gosh, Hyeon Ju.
It's your birthday. She should've canceled the meetings.
That's what I'm saying.
I know we got into a fight about the issue with marriage,
and we've been awkward around each other these past few days,
but I had no idea she'd do this.
She must be really mad.
I'm sure she's not.
She might've done that because she wasn't sure what to do.
You guys fought over something that isn't easily resolved.
I don't want to get married right now either.
Hyeon Ju...
might not want to get married right now or ever.
Do Gyum, you're on Hyeon Ju's side, aren't you?
No, what do you mean?
I'm not on anyone's side.
Yes. If I had to choose, I would be on her side.
100 percent.
It's not a simple issue,
but I'll try to give you a simple explanation from my perspective.
You liked and dated Hyeon Ju even though you knew...
she never wanted to get married.
Then...
instead of trying to force her to change,
what if you changed the way you think?
I know it would be hard.
I'm having a lot of thoughts right now.
Okay. You can think later.
But first, make up with Hyeon Ju and have a birthday party.
Hurry.
He's not even checking his messages?
Is she still in a meeting?
I'm in front of your house right now.
I want you to wish me a happy birthday.
You're going to come, right?
(Where are you? I'm at your place right now.)
(Come home soon, so we can have dinner together.)
Gosh.
It's cold now.
I will wait...
one more hour before I leave.
(I'm in front of your house right now.)
(I want you to wish me a happy birthday.)
(You're going to come, right?)
She hasn't read it yet.
There was an error with the free mobile messenger service, KkangTalk,
and many users were inconvenienced because their messages...
didn't get sent, or the receiver got it later.
The KkangTalk server was unstable since this morning,
and messages on the mobile app...
Doesn't she look like she has a temper?
I'm not sure. She doesn't look that bad.
How she looks doesn't reflect how she'll treat her daughter-in-law.
Furthermore, she's the wife of a wealthy family.
Haven't you watched dramas?
A daughter-in-law from a poor family...
doesn't get treated like a human and is always rebuked.
Gosh, that's because it's a drama.
Even if it isn't a drama, think about it reasonably.
They're not just rich. They own Sunwoo Group.
Imagine how ridiculous our family will seem to them.
Hyeon Ju too.
You're right.
You shouldn't get married to someone who's better than you.
I shouldn't have bought Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals' product.
It's two dollars more expensive.
I bought it to help Ji Woo make more money.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't let them get married.
Your leg is heavy.
Then what should we do?
Even if we're not against them,
his family wouldn't just stay still.
I'd feel easy if Ji Woo covers for her,
but how can we trust him for sure?
I'm sure he'll love and cherish her in the beginning.
But how can we be sure...
that he won't get tired and leave her?
Can we trust Ji Woo or not?
If that's the problem,
what if we do this?
A test?
What is this?
Hyeon Ju.
Hyeon Ju!
Hyeon Ju.
Hyeon Ju!
Wake up. Hyeon Ju!
Hyeon Ju. Hyeon Ju, wake up.
Hyeon Ju!
Please wake up. Hyeon Ju!
No. Hyeon Ju. Open your eyes.
I'm sorry, Hyeon Ju.
What took you so long?
Are you okay? Are you really okay?
What's wrong? Did something happen?
My house was on fire.
There wasn't a fire.
The seaweed soup!
Hyeon Ju. No. Hyeon Ju!
Hyeon Ju!
It was seaweed soup an hour ago.
But now it's seaweed fulvescens.
I like seaweed fulvescens.
Plus, it's only 11pm.
We can have my birthday party now.
The cake is fine.
I designed this cake personally.
Is that me?
Isn't he cute?
Yes, because the model is cute.
What are you saying?
I'll let it slide because it's your birthday.
Let's take a photograph.
Should we do that?
1, 2...
Let me see.
- It came out so well. - Wow.
Gosh, I should print it and hang it in my room.
Right. I should blow out the candles.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Chestnut
Happy birthday to you
Make a wish and blow out the candles.
Okay.
Happy birthday. What kind of wish did you make while looking so nice?
What was your wish?
Don't you know you can't say what your wish is?
Fine.
I couldn't prepare a birthday gift.
It was hard to think of one since you already have everything.
Is there anything you want?
I just need you.
Does that mean...
you want me?
No, so...
Do you want to go to your room?
Do you want me to tie your necktie for you?
I'd like that.
You have to line it up like this...
and spin it around.
Is this right?
I knew how to do it.
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'll do it.
I'll teach you how to tie a necktie slowly,
so don't worry.
Chestnut.
Yes?
What do you think...
about spending time together like this once in a while?
It's nice to go out on dates,
but we can rest at home and eat delicious meals.
We're busy during the week because of work anyway.
We've never spent the entire day together before.
What if we want to spend more time together?
Then we can extend the time...
that we spend together.
Are you against it?
No, I like it.
I could tell you put a lot of thought into it because of me,
and I don't feel good about that.
You're the most important person to me,
so of course I should put a lot of thought into it.
I want to spend every day,
if possible, all day, with you too.
I thought about the ways...
we could spend every moment together...
even if it's not marriage.
If we both put some thought and effort into it,
don't you think we'll be able to find a good answer?
I applied to become your webtoon producer.
(Did Yeon Ho truly love Cha Young?)
I would like to work with you...
purely as your webtoon producer, Mr. Park.
If you think I'm not qualified enough,
you can fire me right away.
Of course, I will.
When it comes to my work, I'm very picky...
and objective.
Then, can I take that as a yes to my offer to be your producer?
You know so much about my webtoon.
There's no reason to turn it down.
Thank you.
By the way, are you going on a trip?
Oh, that. I'm following Ms. Seo's tactic.
I carry some things with me to help the artists.
Would you like to check them out?
This is an electric massager.
This is for artists who prefer manual massages.
I tried this out. It was pretty relaxing.
- Do you want me to do it for you? - No. I'm good.
Feel free to tell me if there's anything you need.
I'll get it for you right away.
Okay.
Oh, right. After reading your storyline,
I came up with a list of things I should research.
Until when do you need them by?
Can you research the 1st and 3rd one by the end of today?
Sure. You got it.
Just give me some time.
Pardon?
Ms. Han. Ms. Han!
She can look them up online. Where is she going?
- Yes, Mother. - Mr. Hwang.
Can you spare me some of your time? I must talk to you.
- Well, today... - Are you not available?
Gosh, that's a problem.
No.
I'll be there by 1pm.
Yes. Okay.
Secretary Nam,
you said I didn't have any meetings after the signing event, right?
Yes. Today is Saturday, so I pushed the inspection...
of the clinical trial lab to next Monday.
I see.
Come in.
Did you ask to see me?
Send this via courier service on Monday.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello?
Ms. Seo?
I would like to meet with you soon. Can you spare me some time?
Yes. I'm free that day.
Okay. I'll visit you at your house.
(Chairwoman Kim Sun Hee of Sejong Medical Foundation)
- Ta-da. - Ta-da.
My goodness. You girls are the best.
We came here to feed you lunch.
Your webtoon starts next week. We're here for moral support.
- Do you want some coffee? - No, we're leaving soon.
After you answer one question.
- About what? - Isn't that obvious?
Did you ask your boyfriend?
About living with each other in little steps?
Of course.
He said okay.
Hey. You guys are like a weekend couple.
And it's less risky than completely moving in together.
It's perfect.
You can still have some personal time for yourself.
And you can focus on each other when you're together.
Well, it'd be nice if Chestnut would think the same.
Hey!
- Oh, no. - Oh, gosh.
I hope he doesn't see it as a step toward marriage.
Oh, right. Your parents haven't been pestering you about marriage?
You're right. Why are they so quiet?
Honey, don't hesitate. Just go at it.
Okay. I'll say...
He's here.
Ready. Action.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Don't say that. We called you at the last minute. We're sorry.
Sit down now.
You're so tall. My neck hurts from looking up to see your face.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Why are you sitting with your back so straight?
It's suffocating.
Exactly. He has such nice facial features.
It's suffocating.
Not getting involved might be their tactic...
in case you run away to outer space if they push you to get married.
I don't mind that.
I hope they aren't setting it up behind my back.
Gosh, no way.
- We do not approve... - We do not...
- approve of this marriage. - of this marriage.
Wait. Hyeon Ju doesn't want to get married.
What? Then, are you telling us that you don't want to marry my daughter?
No. I want to marry her.
But we cannot give you our blessing.
May I ask why?
We have concluded that you are not a suitable match...
for our daughter, Hyeon Ju.
You're handsome like eye candy.
When you walk around with that face of yours,
other women will look at you.
Then, my daughter will be stressed out.
Then, I won't go out. I'll stay at home.
What?
(You're too tall.)
What's next?
If you marry my daughter, I'm sure...
your family will mistreat and look down on her.
- I can see right through that. - That won't happen.
And I won't let her get treated that way.
That might just be empty talk, for all we know.
Anyway, I want you to stop dating Hyeon Ju.
Gosh. I understand that you can't trust me.
I never had a chance to show you who I really am.
Actually, you did leave a good impression on...
So what is your point?
I'll do everything.
If there's a way to prove my true intentions,
I'll do whatever it takes. Please just tell me what it is.
It's up to you to prove that to us.
Must we tell you how to solve your problem?
Honey, let's go.
Wait. Mother.
Drink ours too.
Father.
I think we were too harsh on him.
Yes, we were.
But let's wait for now. He said he'd show us his true intentions.
- Gosh. Oh, my knee. - Oh, my.
Is that acting up again?
- What will I do with my joint? - Gosh.
We have no choice now.
Let's cancel the gathering, go home, and rest.
There's no need.
I will take care of Father.
Are you all right?
I'm all right.
We're done buying groceries. Shall we go home?
All right. It's a limited offer!
A pack of beef bulgogi costs 20 dollars,
but I'm giving it away for 9.9 dollars!
- Only for the first five customers! - Bulgogi?
- Hurry! - We must buy that.
- Give us bulgogi, please. - Okay.
- Give us 2 packs. - I want 1 pack too!
- Me too. - My goodness. You're buying a lot.
My gosh.
I heard when a husband is madly in love with his wife,
he'd do anything for her family.
- Give me one. - Sir.
- Give me that. - There's a lot over there.
- Hurry. - I want one too.
Hey, Hyeon Ju.
Me? I'm at the market. I had a gathering.
Why did you call me?
Just because. I was curious what you were up to.
Mother, let's go.
Wasn't that Mr. Hwang?
What are you talking about? I'm busy. Bye.
Mom!
Gosh.
(Mr. Hwang)
The person you have reached is not available.
I can definitely tell she's up to something.
Where did Ms. Han go?
It's been three hours since she left.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry I'm late.
Donating blood took longer than I expected.
You donated blood?
You asked me to research it.
I read all the posts online,
but it didn't specify how hard it was.
And it didn't talk about how they felt afterwards...
or their physical condition.
I thought it was lacking, so I did it myself.
But still. You didn't have to do it yourself.
Are you sure you're all right?
Yes, of course. Should I brief you now?
Are you okay? Ms. Han.
My gosh. I'm sorry. Was I out for long?
You didn't fall asleep. You passed out.
I want you to eat this and rest for now.
Thank you.
I've been overworking myself lately.
But in return, I'll give you a detailed account of my experience.
I'm sure it will be helpful when you write your lines.
Okay. But you don't have to do that next time.
Isn't this how Ms. Seo worked?
Even she didn't think to give blood.
You one-upped Hyeon Ju.
That's a compliment, right?
Of course. Please eat now.
Okay.
By the way, I don't usually eat a lot.
What's wrong with that?
Hyeon Ju raids my fridge whenever she comes.
You must eat a lot to get energy.
Then, thank you.
- Gosh. Goodness. - Exactly.
- Did you enjoy your food? - We finished eating, right?
- Yes. - It was so good.
- Right. - All right. Everyone.
Now that we had some meat and drinks,
I'm sure you know what's next.
- Yes. - All right, then.
Let's welcome the first singer of today's event.
Please give him a round of applause.
- Here. - Gosh. I'm not a real singer.
But what are you doing there?
What are you doing there?
I believed in love
But it stabbed me in the back
Yes, you, I'm talking about you
What are you doing there?
You said you were tired
So I wished you a goodnight
I was even worried that you might be sick
But what are you doing?
What are you doing here?
You live in Yeonsinnae, but I'm in Gangnam now
And I passed by a loud club
Who did I see at the club?
What are you
What are you doing
What are you doing here?
Well, let me explain.
Hyeon Ju.
I can explain everything. Let's go.
Get home safely.
Good job today.
I really don't know what's wrong with my parents.
I insisted on helping them.
And they kept trying to stop me.
My point is, they shouldn't have tried to test you from the get-go.
They must have been very worried.
They weren't certain that if I was the man...
who could make you happy.
Marriage must be that important to you, Ji Woo.
I don't want us to be apart anymore.
I want to stay with you until the day I die.
Do you believe our relationship will be only complete...
with marriage?
I'm not sure. That's a hard question.
If what you want isn't forming a family,
but spending the rest of your life with me,
I don't believe marriage has to be such a big part of our lives.
You don't have to answer that now.
I'll wait.
Tell me once you've made up your mind.
And...
whatever you decide to do,
I hope you make that decision for you.
Okay. I'll think about it.
(Kim Sun Hee of Sejong Medical Foundation)
When I was going through Jin Ho's keepsakes,
I found this.
I'm not sure if you will believe me,
but I know...
what this ring means to Jin Ho,
I couldn't throw it out.
I hope you will return this to its rightful owner.
And...
I cannot bring myself to ask for your forgiveness.
I will live...
the rest of my life in repentance.
Ma'am, you have a visitor.
Please sit.
Would you like some tea?
I'm all right.
You can go now.
You have gotten thinner than the last time I saw you.
I'm sorry about the other day.
I wasn't in any condition to receive visitors.
No, don't apologize. It's okay.
Can I ask you what you were going to tell me...
that day?
If you came to reprimand me,
I will face it.
It's been...
over 40 years...
since Jin Ho died...
and Song Min Ju and Woo Young died in an accident.
If I had never met Mr. Hwang,
I wouldn't have been able to understand...
why you can't escape your past life...
and choose to live in pain.
You even withdrew from school...
and tried to live a different life under a new name.
But I heard you failed to do that too.
Because of what I did,
three people had died.
No matter how much I tried to erase what I did,
I couldn't do it.
Will it be gone once I die?
I'm not Song Min Ju.
However, right now,
let me tell you this as Song Min Ju, not Seo Hyeon Ju.
Su Jeong.
It's not your fault.
Everything that happened to us...
probably pained you too.
You kept digging it up,
so the wound never healed.
That's why it's more painful.
But stop torturing yourself.
Once the wound heals completely,
even if you see the scar later,
it won't bring back painful memories.
When that happens,
live your own life.
Do I...
deserve that?
Of course.
I'm sorry, Min Ju.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right.
Everything will be okay.
Ji Woo.
Can we meet now?
I want to give you the answer I couldn't give you the other day.
It's the wedding ring I gave to you in our past life.
Of course, the wedding never happened.
On my birthday,
when I thought you passed out after breathing in smoke,
do you know what went through my head?
"We don't have to get married. But please..."
"don't take her away from me."
That's probably what I truly wanted.
I will stop putting so much importance on marriage.
What I truly want...
is not marrying you.
It's you.
In this life,
I will never let go of your hand.
I won't rely on our marriage.
But I want to rely on our love for each other...
and spend my life with you.
If you let go of my hand,
I'll hold your hand again.
Let's continue to have each other in this life.
After having a ceremony to celebrate my decision not to get married,
people often asked me why. Well, I didn't have a grand reason.
Just like how many people decide...
and announce futures at weddings,
I just wanted to tell people that I'd live diligently...
in my own way.
- Hello. - Hi.
- I like this webtoon. - Is this the one?
Yes, it is.
(Why won't you get married?)
I'm in the webtoon. That's me.
It's a hit.
My gosh, look at this. The numbers keep going up!
- My gosh. - It's a huge hit.
She's getting a lot of comments.
I could spend all night reading these comments.
(No marriage? I'll support you to the end. You're the best!)
(I ran out of webtoons to read. I found a good one today.)
Webtoon Artist Seo Hyeon Ju,
congratulations on your successful debut.
(Congratulations on your successful debut.)
(You're the best! I'm getting married, but I still enjoyed it.)
(I support the artist and everyone who's creating their own life.)
Hyeon Ju.
Congratulations.
Oh, right. Ta-da.
How beautiful. Thank you.
And thank you for leaving the first comment.
"I support the artist and everyone..."
"who's creating their own life."
That was you, right?
I promised.
I told you I would be the first one to leave a comment when you debut.
Oh, right. And this is the part where I could relate the most.
(I just wanted to tell people that I'd live diligently...)
(in my own way.)
Hyeon Ju.
Why don't we have an event where we tell people...
how we plan to live as a couple?
Even if we don't get married,
we can tell them we'll love each other...
and live happily together.
We can make a promise.
Sure.
Are you ready?
What is it?
Am I too pretty?
So you already know.
- I know, I can't wait. - Right.
Hey, don't be nervous.
Don't be nervous. Be natural.
That's right.
Hyeon Ju and Ji Woo are here.
Really?
Gosh, my heart keeps beating.
It's not like she's getting married.
But it feels like she is.
Hello.
I'm Oh Yeong Eun, your host for my dear friend, Hyeon Ju,
and Mr. Hwang Ji Woo's ceremony...
to declare their plan of not getting married.
Okay. Let me bring in the couple, Seo Hyeon Ju and Hwang Ji Woo.
Everyone, please give them a warm welcome.
- Yes. - Yes.
You look beautiful, Hyeon Ju!
You look beautiful.
You look beautiful, Hyeon Ju!
You look beautiful.
Today,
in front of our families and our dear friends,
we are going to make a promise.
- I, Seo Hyeon Ju... - I, Hwang Ji Woo,
will diligently live our own lives...
instead of consolidating our lives through marriage.
Instead of treating each other as the other half,
we will accept and respect each other as separate individuals.
- We will not... - We will not...
- let go of each other's hands. - let go of each other's hands.
Hyeon Ju finally found her lifelong companion.
Hold on. But am I not allowed to say "a lifelong companion"?
Of course, you can say it. The world has changed.
Even if you don't get married,
the person you'll spend the rest of your life with...
is a lifelong companion.
Goodness.
- Look at that over there. - Right.
Doesn't that look cool? Right?
Hold on. Let me see that.
Let's go and look.
As love can't last forever,
people were forced to create a system called marriage.
Some people say marriage completes love.
But there is no right answer.
It doesn't matter which path you choose.
You just have to choose a path that makes you happy.
And when we stand at the end of the path we chose,
I don't care how people perceive us.
He will be my forever lover,
friend,
and family.
(Thank you for watching To All The Guys Who Loved Me.)
