Monthly Magazine House
DISCLAIMER: All places, characters, firms, and events depicted in this show are fictitious.
I wish someone could go to work instead of me.
No... No.
I should think of Ui-joo and Photographer Shin.
I shouldn't be like this.
I shouldn't be like this!
What's this?
What are you doing?
Pull yourself together, Na Young-won.
Sir, congratulations.
Huh?
Damyung Construction
called to tell me
they're accepting your investment.
That's good news.
You worked so hard on it
so I thought you'd be ecstatic.
Is something the matter?
No.
Everything's fine.
Hello, Editor Nam?
Why are you calling when you should be at work?
Huh? An outside meeting?
Oh, okay.
Don't be late for our meeting. Bye.
Where's the material...
What's all this? Huh?
Monthly Magazine House #13 A Record of Youth
Yook Mi-ra!
A Record of Youth's Homes
How can you eat and sleep at the office?
This is Monthly Magazine House, not Mi-ra's house.
She said it was because she didn't have rent.
Still, this is unacceptable.
How long has it been?
About two months...
What? That long?
Weren't you scared?
It's dangerous...
I was going to get a new place soon.
Yeah, get a new place quickly.
- Before the CEO finds out... - Stop.
Why are you all chatting and not working?
Oh, sir.
We were about to start working.
Focus on your jobs.
I'm not paying for electricity so you all can chat.
I'm sorry.
I guess he didn't hear.
You're lucky the CEO didn't catch you.
Right.
If he did, knowing him,
he would've told you to pay
for the electricity and water you used.
Get a new place right now, okay?
Yes, sir.
I'm really sorry.
Are you alright?
Yes.
You should've told me.
Come live with me until you find a new place.
I didn't tell you because I knew you'd say that.
Huh?
I didn't want to bother you.
Come on.
Then is it okay to live here, always on edge?
It must've been hard.
But I was able to save up on rent.
The rent in Seoul is atrocious.
Yes.
Rent is one thing.
So much time is wasted on the commute.
I wanted to use that time to focus on my job.
I want to become a great editor like you soon.
What?
I told you.
That you're my role model.
How's the interior design article coming along?
How about indirectly experiencing remodeling in VR?
People in their 20s and 30s...
That's it?
Set me up with someone, you, Nam Sang-soon!
Huh? Set me up.
What was that?
My heart was pounding like crazy.
Do I...?
I think we this is a good time to cover that.
No. That doesn't make sense.
What do you think, Editor Nam?
It doesn't make sense.
What?
Huh?
Why does it not make sense?
What?
You just said that it doesn't make sense.
I did?
Yes, you did.
Jeez, Editor Nam. Focus on the meeting!
Jeez!
I...I...I...I'm sorry.
I need to go to the bathroom.
What's up with that fool?
The middle payment is settled. What is it now?
Yeah.
Why is he so out of it?
What is wrong with me?
No way...
It's not true, right, Sang-soon?
Of course it's not.
I want to become a great editor like you soon.
You're my role model.
I'm ashamed.
And I should be.
Pull it together for real.
I'm embarrassed of having fallen apart so much.
I will go back to square one and live hard.
I will do my best in the tasks I'm given.
Because the position I took for granted
could be someone's earnest dream.
I checked that part so take a look...
I will forget the painful memories
I'm embarrassed of having fallen apart so much. YoungForever
and make a fresh start.
Encountering Korea's Young One-person Households
The survey result shows
Satisfaction survey of young people's residence 83% Unsatisfied / 12% Generally satisfied
83% of young people aren't satisfied
with where they live.
To find out why, I want to investigate their residence.
Wow.
You did a lot of research.
It won't be difficult to get a source.
Our assistants volunteered to help.
It'll be meaningful and entertaining.
Isn't it perfect?
What use is it if it's perfect?
It won't make money.
What?
We should cover captivating, luxurious homes
and stick more ads after them.
What's this? Jeez.
Right, sir? I did well, right?
No. Proceed with the story.
Get me more details.
Really?
This is clearly an article that doesn't make money.
You're writing the article that makes money.
This is to keep up our image.
To not be considered a tabloid.
Wow!
You have such good judgment.
Then calmly carry it out, Editor Na.
Okay.
Here are the details you wanted.
Thank you. You may leave.
Sir.
Thank you for green-lighting the special article.
No need.
As I said, it's to keep up our image.
Okay.
Also,
I'd like to cancel what I said before.
That will never happen again.
But if I do something ridiculous like that,
please be cold to me like you are now.
That way,
I won't have any lingering feelings.
I think I made you more uncomfortable.
Treat me however you want.
It doesn't matter what you do.
I won't have any lingering feelings anymore.
Good day.
You're here.
Sir.
This is for you.
I won't have any lingering feelings anymore.
Wow, what good weather!
Secretary Hwang. Long time no see.
Hello.
What brings you here?
The CEO said he'll drive himself to cover the story.
I know. I just have something to give him.
Oh? What is it?
Damyung Construction
What's this? Damyung Construction?
It's a company CEO Yoo invested in.
They sent a gift to celebrate the contract.
Lucky him. He can invest so easily.
And receive gifts so easily.
It wasn't easy.
It almost fell through. He worked hard for this.
- Then goodbye. - Bye.
Oh!
So that's why he came here on the weekend
and moved his desk and cleaned the place.
To forget the investment.
Location: Mapa-gu, Seoul
Size: 24.14㎡ Rental price: Deposit KRW 5 mil., Monthly rent KRW 500,000
Wow.
This is my house. You can see it, right?
A rooftop party in the city.
Yes.
Enjoying the city nightscape in the open space,
having a barbeque party
and drinking cold beer. Whoa!
A rooftop house is a dream for youth on their own.
Not.
I want to get out of here ASAP.
What?
That kind of dream
is an illusion made in TV shows and movies.
It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
It's infested with bugs.
And when it rains...
it floods and becomes a water park.
Huh? How did you know?
I lived in a rooftop house, too.
I see.
Want some tips so you can live here
a little less uncomfortably?
Put a bubble wrap on the front door and put
the furniture to the outer wall. It will help with the heating.
Put up black-out curtains to prevent
furniture and clothes from losing color.
And if you clean the drain in advance
it won't become a water park when it rains.
Oh! You must install a filter.
Wow!
They're great tips.
It's know-how from a person who experienced it.
Jeez.
When will my apartment get reconstructed
and become a new apartment like that?
You know my apartment's reconstruction is on hold?
There's so little chance
that even the resident representative moved.
Really?
Shocking, right?
What's more shocking
is that no one wanted to take the job.
What's even more shocking
is that my wife ended up taking the job.
Really?
Yes!
But what's even more shocking
is that since she is the resident representative,
she'll push ahead like a bulldozer.
So there's still hope for reconstruction.
There's another shocking news.
Huh?
The home owner's appendix burst and went to the ER.
Today's cover is a bust.
We should head back to the office.
Since we're already out,
let's go get some fresh air.
Sir?
It must be around here.
You're here.
Hi!
Come on in.
Location: Yongsang-gu, Seoul
Size: 20㎡ Rental price: Deposit KRW 5 mil., Monthly rent KRW 400,000
You decorated the place so well.
Thank you.
Cleaning is my hobby.
I see.
But don't you get mold even though you clean often?
How did you know?
I lived in semi-basements a lot.
It's war against dampness.
If you put charcoal in the wardrobe...
You already did it.
Oh, and...
It gets damp between clothes in the drawer.
If you put newspapers...
You already did.
Oh...
If you don't like people seeing in from outside,
- put a foggy sheet... - You can't see in from outside.
What?
I pasted a screening sheet on the windows.
You can see outside, but you can't see inside.
I didn't know about that.
You really know how to live in a semi-basement.
I'll drive the kids this weekend.
You do your best as the resident representative.
Okay. Bye.
Jeez.
I can't even get some rest this weekend.
Why do you live hard, Chief Editor?
Of course,
to feed my wife and kids.
I don't have anyone to feed. Why am I living hard?
What do you mean?
What's my purpose
in toiling away, earning money?
I don't know and I feel empty.
You feel empty?
You're a success.
If I were you,
I'd think life was so fun and exciting.
Why?
Just as you said,
you don't have a family to take care of.
You have more than enough money.
You can use all that on yourself to enjoy life.
If I were you,
I'd go crazy.
How much does all this cost?
It's so good.
I'm enjoying this luxury thanks to you.
Have as much as you want.
What do you think?
Eating good food at a high-end restaurant
releases endorphins, right?
You think life is good,
that life is fun, right?
Why are you already...
Are you already done?
Yes.
I guess
I'm not the type to feel joy
eating expensive food like this.
I'm sorry, sir.
You wasted money on this because of me.
It's okay.
As long as you enjoy the food.
Please keep eating.
Don't be so disappointed, sir.
Fun in life isn't just in food.
If I were you,
I'd really go crazy.
What's that?
Did a partner company send it?
No.
It's mine. I bought it.
I set the shipping address to the office by mistake.
What did you buy?
Okay.
Unboxing! It's showtime!
Tada!
Wow, it's so pretty!
Isn't it the same as what you're wearing?
Open your eyes.
How are they the same?
This is brown.
This is dark brown.
They're totally different.
What's so different?
They're the same.
But this one's the bomb.
Tada!
Isn't that exactly the same?
I don't believe your sense of fashion.
This is one size bigger.
This is slim fit.
This is over fit.
They're completely different.
How are they different?
She's so wasteful.
What's this?
How is that different?
- It's the same. - What?
I guess I forgot and bought the same thing.
I was out of it because I was so drunk.
My heart pounded for that hopeless spender?
You need to get a refund.
I can't be bothered.
You wear it.
Really?
Thank you.
My heart must've malfunctioned for a moment.
What a waste of heart beat!
What do you think, Editor Nam?
Hey, Editor Nam!
Huh?
Why are you so spaced out?
I was?
No way.
Ow.
What's up with him?
Why in the world is he so dazed?
Perhaps...
Because of this?
What's this?
Wow!
Whoa, you look like a Kingsman.
I'm surprised, too.
Like you said, seeing this transformation,
I feel life is worth living.
I guess I'm the type of person that
feels joy in dressing up and showing off.
See? What did I tell you...
That's what I should say.
I should be happy, for your sake.
But I guess
I'm not the type to feel joy
wearing expensive clothes to show off.
Oh, is that so?
If I were you, I'd be so excited.
I guess it was my own dream
again this time.
Well, then,
why don't you try one on?
What?
Oh, oh, oh, no, sir.
Well,
without you, I'd never visit a place like this.
Then since I'm here,
I'll just calmly try one on. Just for fun.
The premium fabric fits my body like a glove.
Expensive clothes are really different.
Is that so?
Excuse me!
Put the suit he's wearing right now
and all the suits he tried on on my account.
What?
Oh, no, sir. It's okay.
I was just trying them on for fun.
Just take it.
It's a gift.
Why all of a sudden...
You never know.
As I become more generous,
I might feel joy in such acts.
What?
Umm... Sir...
Why Jejudo Island all of a sudden...
And first class at that...
You said if you were me, you'd go on a day trip
to see Jejudo's emerald sea via first class.
Enjoy it.
Why are you doing this for me...?
Seeing you so happy,
I think it makes me happy, too.
Sir?
I guess I'm the type that feels joy in being generous.
Oh, I see.
Then that's a relief.
Editor Na.
Editor Na!
Huh?
Oh, Photographer Shin!
I was organizing the interview recording.
Aren't you working too hard?
Not at all.
It's something I want to write so it's not hard.
You haven't had dinner yet, right?
Let's go eat.
What?
You said you can't be convenience store mates
because you're preparing to study fine art.
Today, let's go somewhere else
instead of there.
Where?
I've never been to a place like this.
Thank you.
The food is so good
and the photos are wonderful.
I'm glad you like it.
Seeing the photos reminds me of something.
People only see what they want to,
but a photo records every single thing
it saw in the same time and place.
I read it in an article a photographer wrote.
That's correctly put.
Right? I thought so, too.
Especially now that I see the photos here.
Want to go out for a walk?
Thank you for caring for me.
I think you're a really nice person.
Thanks.
But you don't have to worry about me now.
What?
I know.
That you know about me and CEO Yoo.
That you're trying hard to comfort me.
But I'm really fine now,
so you don't have to...
It's not comforting.
I like you.
What?
I'm not trying to comfort you.
I'm doing this because I like you.
This isn't how I wanted to tell you.
Photographer Shin...
I know.
You're taken aback.
But
I'm not asking you to give me an answer
right now.
I just
wanted you to know how I feel.
Until you're okay,
until your wound heals,
I'll wait by your side.
I can do that, right?
The ceiling leaks when it rains, you try living here!!! We want to live in a proper apartment before we die!!!
I'm home.
The kids will be home soon. Wash up and sleep.
I don't even get a glance?
What's this Hallabong?
Oh, boy. What's that suit?
Where did you get the money...
The CEO bought this for me as a gift.
I'm respected this much at work.
Then ask him to give you a raise.
What are you looking at?
Proposals of constructors bidding for the reconstruction.
It's giving me a headache.
I shouldn't have become the representative.
Jeez.
You made such a fuss to be it.
Oh, well. Let's tidy up and go to bed.
Reconstruction bidding proposal
Huh?
Reconstruction bidding proposal Damyung Construction
Damyung Construction?
Hold on. Where did I hear that name?
Damyung Construction?
It's a company CEO Yoo invested in.
Oh!
That's right! It's that Damyung!
Oh!
They placed a bid.
Huh?
My wife ended up taking the job.
Really?
As soon as he heard that, he suddenly...
Let's go get some fresh air.
He said there's no fun in life
and he enjoys being generous.
Is this a highly advanced strategy to win the bid?
As long as you enjoy the food.
Please keep eating.
Put the suit he's wearing right now
and all the suits he tried on on my account.
Seeing you so happy,
I think it makes me happy, too.
It was all a bribe?
CEO Yoo is such a clever scum.
Clever scum.
Hmph!
Do you
want to become convenience store mates?
Are you still holding off on getting a boyfriend?
But you never know what'll happen, right?
I hope you stop hurting.
I hope
your wound is healed soon.
It's not comforting.
I like you.
Welcome, sir.
Good morning, sir.
You're here.
What time is today's meeting?
Three o'clock.
Can we... Push the meeting
to tomorrow?
I'm very tired today.
As you know, our schedule yesterday
was packed.
Oh, okay.
Let's do it tomorrow.
I was right.
Chief Editor.
Why are you acting like that to the CEO?
I'm more shocked that he's letting it slide.
I can show you
more shocking things if I want to.
What do you mean?
Never mind.
Should I suck him dry?
What time should we have the meeting tomorrow?
I don't know.
For me...
The morning is good.
Can we do tomorrow's meeting
the day after?
You see, I plan
to be tired until tomorrow.
What?
You said you enjoy being generous.
You can be that generous.
Oh, well. Okay, then.
Since you're being generous,
take me to a hot spring.
So that I can relieve my fatigue.
Okay. Yuseong Hot Springs is nearby.
No. Not in Korea.
Overseas. Huh?
Broaden the scale.
Well.
If you want, then okay.
Stop!
Sir.
I'm very disappointed in you.
You feel joy in being generous?
You're not seeking some other kind of joy?
What?
What do you mean...?
Damyung Construction that you invested in!
They're bidding for my apartment reconstruction.
That's why you bribed me.
But I want to tell you.
I'm not a man to waver because of bribes.
I don't!
Have money!
But I at least have integrity!
- Don't live like that... - The investment.
I'll pull the plug on it.
I'll break it off with Damyung Construction.
What?
I forgot that apartment was where you lived.
It wasn't a bribe...?
I can't invest when such misunderstandings exist.
I will withdraw my investment.
Sir?
You don't have to go that far...
Oh! There's another thing I must withdraw.
The money I spent on the hotel lunch, the suits,
and the plane ticket to Jejudo Island.
I withdraw my intention of gifting them to you.
Pay me back in full.
What?
Sir!
I wasn't thinking straight.
I thought I might live enjoying being generous,
but that joy has gone as well.
What joy is there to live for now?
What's this?
Her job? Content creator.
Her age? Two years younger than you.
So?
I'm setting you up.
Why all of a sudden?
You need to live a new life now.
What do you think?
She's pretty.
But she's not my type.
What?
I like long hair. Not short hair.
Jeez. She can always grow it out.
Then I'll meet her when she does.
Darn it.
How long? How long does it have to be?
Beats me.
As long as yours?
Why I ought to...
As long as mine?
Florist.
Same age as us.
Cute, right?
Her hair is as long as mine.
You're right. She's beautiful.
Right? Then I'll call her...
But she's not my type.
What?
Why?
Her hair is long
but she's short.
I'll meet her when she's taller.
What are you talking about?
How can she grow taller at this age?
If she drinks a lot of milk and plays basketball,
who knows?
Her growth plates might open up again.
Why I ought to...
How tall does she have to be?
Beats me.
As tall as you?
Jeez!
Nam Sang-soon, you're unbelievable.
Why are you suddenly being so picky?
Why are you so anxious to set me up?
I told you to live a new life.
Stop thinking useless thoughts and meet someone!
Hello? Yes.
I'll be there.
Seriously!
Useless thoughts?
No way.
Does she know my heart pounded because of her?
She's pushing me away to meet someone else?
Unbelievable.
I don't have any feelings for you now.
I found this while preparing for this month's article.
I wanted you to know.
Young-won!
You can apply if you have the qualifications.
Youth Rental Housing Qualification and How to Apply
I think you do.
Thank you.
But...
I already applied.
Huh?
Youth Rental Housing Qualification and How to Apply
Study the qualifications and apply for it.
If there is welfare you can get,
you should search aggressively and get it.
Oh... Thank you.
It's not for you.
It's for the company.
Your residence must be stable for you to work hard.
He knew I was staying
at the office.
I guess he heard everything we said that time.
He speaks coldly,
but I think he's a really good person.
Pharmacist.
Same hair length and height as me.
There's no one else that matches your terms.
So...
I'll meet her.
Really?
Great!
Hey, Yeo Ui-joo!
You're not the only one that's happy.
I'm happy, too!
I'm meeting a girl that has the same hair length
and height as you, but is much better than you!
Great.
So good luck.
I'll call her right now!
Okay!
Now she'll know.
That I don't have feelings for her.
How dare she think of me like that!
Oh, Ja-sung!
You're going somewhere?
I have some matters to attend to.
Where are you guys coming from...?
Hey! Shin Gyeom!
What's up with him?
Keep up the good work.
What's with this vibe?
Hey. What's with you?
What?
You gave up on your crush for him.
Why are you blowing cold now?
Why?
Are you regretting doing that now?
Don't try to look cool.
You're not the only one who sacrificed for love.
Because of you, someone else...
They broke up.
What?
Those two...
They broke up.
Ja-sung dumped her.
Without any warning.
Really?
Yeah.
I guess I didn't know him that well.
I didn't think he would hurt someone like that.
What the...
You heard?
Editor Nam is going on a blind date.
Yes.
You should go on a date as a fresh start, too.
I know a guy from college who's really great.
He's also a romanticist.
You should meet a guy like him.
Someone who only sees you.
I should.
That would be right...
What's wrong?
I wish CEO Yoo were a bad person.
Then I'd be able to get over him more easily.
Why does he have to be a good person?
What are you talking about?
Stop crying!
Young-won...
They're the same clothes, but she says they aren't.
So many parcels for Editor Yeo come to the office.
She is so thoughtless. Tsk, tsk.
The food's going cold. You should eat.
The pasta here is good.
Since you mentioned pasta, that reminds me.
You know how Editor Yeo goes crazy over pasta?
When she sees pasta, she's like...
She sucks it in like a vacuum cleaner.
She eats so voraciously.
I see.
Oh. I heard you won a subscription.
Editor Yeo told you even that?
Oh, come on. Seriously.
I'm sorry.
Since you brought that up, it reminds me.
I was in line to apply for a subscription.
But I suddenly had to go to the bathroom.
So I texted Editor Yeo.
I promised to set her up if she...
Excuse me.
Yes?
Do you
like Ui-joo?
What.... Are you...
Editor Yeo is just a colleague!
It seems like she's more than that.
It looks like you already like her a lot.
That's nonsense!
If I did, would I be here?
She's the type of woman that's impossible to like.
Don't get me wrong.
I don't think I'm getting you wrong.
Well, then.
I'll be going now.
What is she saying?
What nonsense.
You're leaving now?
Oh, yes.
It's late. I'll drive you home.
No, it's okay.
It's no biggie. I want to.
Let's go.
Photographer Shin.
I have something to say.
- Photographer Shin, I... - Wait.
I...
Could I not hear what it is?
Huh?
I think I know what you're about to say.
But
a person's heart
might change as time goes by.
When the storm in you ceases,
and what you want to say hasn't changed,
you can tell me then.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Hello.
Sir! Good morning.
Chief Editor...
Why are there so many empty seats?
Editor Yeo is out to cover a story.
Editor Na has gone to her home in Chuncheon.
She submitted a leave of absence a few days ago.
Why did she go to Chuncheon?
I don't know what's going on in my home,
how should I know about her's?
Get to work!
Sir, I did well...
Of course he doesn't want to talk to me.
He won't want to treat me like a human being.
Ughh.
Why did she go to Chuncheon?
I hope nothing bad has happened.
Why do you want to know?
What right do you have?
Come in.
What is it?
Well...
I calculated how much I have to pay back to you.
The hotel restaurant lunch, suits,
first class ticket... Add all that and it's...
What about the Hallabong I bought you in Jejudo?
What about the Omegi rice cakes you ate?
If I add them, it's about...
KRW 5.8 million...
Stop.
Just drop it.
Getting that money from you means nothing to me.
Just leave and do your work.
Really?
Thank you, sir!
I'm so sorry for misunderstanding you.
Just get out before I change my mind...
Jeez.
Nam Sang-soon, are you crazy?
Yikes! You scared me.
You scared me!
I got you the girl that fits your terms perfectly.
But you turned her down?
She said I turned her down?
Shut it!
I did all I could.
Live alone for the rest of your life.
Live a pitiful single life until the day you die.
Huh?
I don't think I deserve such a curse.
I understand why she's angry.
She did that because she was worried about you.
Huh?
What's up with him?
Why in the world is he so dazed?
Perhaps...
What's this?
She was worried you'd be troubled
by your ex getting married.
I told you to live a new life.
Stop thinking useless thoughts and meet someone!
She did that because she was worried about me?
Why are you looking at this?
You're not thinking of going to the wedding
to throw a tantrum, huh?
Don't you dare!
Jeez.
That's right.
I should be thinking about ruining her wedding.
But why am I thinking only about Ui-joo?
Do you like Ui-joo?
Yes.
I think I do.
Is something up with the CEO?
Huh?
He's so down these days.
He says there's no joy in life,
and that he doesn't know why he's making money.
So he spends money recklessly.
He did?
Yes.
He's so drained like he's about to die tomorrow.
You're close with the CEO.
Do you know anything?
No.
Umm, Gyeom.
Maybe Ja-sung...
Is suffering
because he broke up with Editor Na.
Why would he suffer?
Editor Na is suffering a lot more.
He dumped her so heartlessly.
He has no right to be sad.
He might not have broken up because he wanted to.
He might've learned something and felt guilty...
He might have sacrificed himself for your love...
What are you talking about?
Your cooking is the best.
Make sure you chew.
Someone said that
food is a switch for happy memories.
When I think about the food you made for me,
it reminds me of how happy I was when I ate it.
I guess that's why
your food comes to mind in hard times.
Why?
Are you having a rough time?
No.
I was thinking.
Dad might be like that, too.
Dad might be somewhere,
longing for the food
you cooked.
Forget it.
He abandoned his family to make it on his own.
He's no good so why would you bring him up?
Don't be like that.
Why do you keep saying that?
You think I'm wrong?
From now on,
don't come visit on this day.
It's not his memorial or his birthday.
It's the day he left us. So stop coming.
I was worried you might feel lonely.
No time for that when I'm trying to make a living.
Hmm?
Dad's picture used to be there.
I threw it away. I couldn't stand the sight of him.
Mom...
I'll get you more soup.
You didn't throw it away...
Come in.
Aren't you going home?
I will.
Well...
You feel like going for a drink?
Thank you.
For caring about me.
So just
forget about that cutie pie slash cheating witch,
and make a fresh start.
Okay.
For me, personally,
I can forgive everything else.
But I can never forgive cheaters.
They must meet their doom!
Okay. I got it. Let's stop talking about that.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, cheer up, alright?
Okay.
Ow!
Oh, dear!
- Oh, no! - Ow, hot!
- Here. - Ow, hot!
I think it's fine.
Jeez, that gave me a start.
I don't think your cheek got burned.
Editor Yeo.
No, no.
Yeo Ui-joo!
Huh?
You really are
bad for my heart.
What?
I'm not bad for your heart. I'm bad for your liver!
Drink up!
No.
You're bad for my heart.
Because of you, my heart...
Hold on a sec.
- Excuse me. - Okay.
Hello? What?
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Ui-joo.
Because of you, my heart...
Can I hear about your heart later?
I have to go right now.
What? Where?
My parcel was delivered to the office again.
I have to go get it.
You can get it tomorrow.
No. Marinated crab can go bad quickly.
I have to take it home and put it in the fridge.
See you tomorrow.
Wait.
Hey, hey, Ui-joo, Ui-joo...
Did I just lose to marinated crab?
Why order something so expensive?
Seriously.
Rich guy
I said buy a place. Why aren't you responding?
I'll pay for it.
Don't worry and buy a place.
Rich guy?
What's this?
Oh, sir. Go easy.
You never know.
I might feel joy drinking.
I don't know why you're doing this,
but you need to have joy in your life.
So I did a lot of hard thinking.
I traced back all the years I lived
and thought about when life was worth living.
That was
when I loved someone.
When I loved and was loved in return...
I think it was then.
Money isn't everything in life.
Sir.
Date someone.
Compared to that,
eating good food, buying good clothes,
and traveling alone is nothing.
When you love someone...
When you can just be with that person...
People are staring.
Who cares?
We can't show that we're dating at work,
so I want to show off here.
Make a wish and blow out the candle.
Sir.
Please date, okay?
Wow.
If I were you,
I'd go crazy.
Actually, I told him.
That you like Editor Na.
What?
When I saw you lying in the hospital,
I got so angry that I couldn't help it.
Ja-sung
Photographer Shin! It's me.
Chief Editor?
Sir!
Get up, sir!
Come on, sir!
Huh?
Why did you come? I said I'll take him home.
What happened?
He drank too much.
He must really be going through something.
Jeez...
I'll take him home.
Oh, no, no, no.
I promised to take care of him today.
Don't worry about it.
Sir!
You need to go home, sir!
Huh? Open your eyes. Huh?
Encountering Korea's Young One-person Households
Do you know the word "Semi-Roof-Study"?
Many young one-person households live in
semi-basements, rooftops and study rooms.
They endure each day in a poor and tough space.
The reason they can endure
I can do it! My dream is becoming an editor!
is because they have hope for the future.
But their space is so saddening
for them to endure it solely on hope.
Here's mine.
Editor Nam, what about this?
I hope their space isn't a space they must endure
but a space that brings them comfort.
I hope what they hope for becomes a reality
soon.
Huh?
What are you doing here?
Go get her.
Editor Na.
What?
You broke up because of me.
Because of me,
you hurt her.
Because of me,
you're in agony.
What are you talking about?
Sir.
Are you alright?
Thank you.
For drinking with me.
Loving someone
and being loved...
I know that it's a huge joy in life.
I know it's the reason to live.
I know that well.
I guess I'm suffering because I know that.
A bastard like me
shouldn't have known
such joy at all.
Editor Na still likes you, too.
She hasn't gotten over you.
What?
So
hurry and go get her.
Gyeom...
Don't make me more pitiful.
Go get her.
Go get her back.

People only see what they want to,
but a photo records every single thing
it saw in the same time and place.
Young-won.
Sir...
I came because I wanted to talk.
What?
I'm sorry.
What I'm about to ask you
is very shameless.
But I've realized I can't live without you.
I can.
What?
I don't need you anymore, sir.
Monthly Magazine House
Stop it.
It's over between us.
Ja-sung breaking up with you...
He found out I liked you, and did that on purpose.
I don't need someone
who lets go of my hand for whatever reason.
Lucky you. You have someone who'll buy you a place.
- Honey! - Honey?
I must tell her how I feel before my heart stops.
This is the freelance editor who will write
your promo articles.
Hello, sir.
No way!
My stocks hit the ceiling!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
A blind date with her?
Even Editor Na said you two look like a good fit.
You're really okay with me meeting someone else?
