Soo.
Yes?
Don't keep anything you love too much by your side.
Why not?
Because those will either hurt you,
or you'll hurt them.
Okay?
Okay.
Should we break up?
It's hard, isn't it?
I'm sorry
for making you suffer alone.
For not being able to help.
But don't say that.
Don't dump me.
Dad was wrong.
You must stay close because you love them.
My unrequited love is over now, right?
I don't have to wait anymore, right?
I don't need an answer.
I won't wait anymore.
When will roadside assistance come?
Once we call them.
I didn't call them.
What?
How do we get home?
Don't worry. I'll take you home.
What are you doing?
I always have everything planned.
Hey, you.
Don't get mad, sweetie.
All done.
Let's go, sweetie.
Stop that.
Why, sweetie?
What's wrong, sweetie?
Sweetie.
Stop that.
Sweetie.
Episode 12: A Wound Deeper Than Love
You're dating, aren't you?
No.
You're holding flowers, humming, and grinning ear to ear,
but you're not dating?
I am not.
It's not like I'll complain.
Why are you suddenly hiding it?
Well... I'm not hiding it...
You're young. You should date.
You don't want to grow old alone.
As long as it isn't that jerk.
What?
As long as it isn't that jerk...
Don't tell me...
What? What is it? What?
No, not that jerk. Never.
Why are you calling him a jerk?
-He's someone's precious... -You idiot.
You have no self-respect.
Are you really defending the jerk who made you cry?
It's me who cried. He's not the one who made me cry.
He had his reasons.
I told you. Not him. Never.
Goodness.
Goodnight.
Lee Soo
One, two, three.
Hello?
"I Love You"
Lee Soo
Did you hear how I feel?
What is this?
-Kyung Woo-yeon. -Yes?
-Woo-yeon. -What is it?
Woo-yeon.
Why do you keep on calling me?
It's so nice to do this.
I agree.
Should we talk all night until we fall asleep?
No, we can't. I snore.
It's okay. I grind my teeth.
What should we do tomorrow?
-Tomorrow? -We should go on our first date.
We should stay together all day.
I don't know. What should we do?
What do you want to do?
Will you do everything I ask?
Of course. You can do anything you want.
"You'll break your nose if you fall backward,"
The Chicken's Fortune, Today's fortune
"and you'll crack your head if you fall forward."
"Nothing will work out today,"
You need to take extra precautions today.
"and things will turn out for the worst."
"You need to take extra precautions today."
What is this? It makes me feel uncomfortable.
You didn't forget about today, right? We're going on a date today.
Sang-hyeok
What date?
-What is this? -A gift for you.
Only accept flowers from me from now on.
You should only gift flowers to me too.
If you give flowers to another woman, I'll kill you.
Why do you always talk about life and death about everything?
So what are we doing today?
Whatever we do, it'll be a good day.
Woo-yeon.
-We're sorry. -We're sorry.
Are you okay?
Today will be a good day, right?
Bills
Coins
Money exchange machine
What happened?
Why isn't he here?
-Jin-ju. -Why are you late?
I'm sorry. There was traffic.
-Why are you late? -I'm sorry.
Why did you put up your hair?
I did my hair since we're going on a date.
It looks strange, doesn't it?
This is not a date. Don't be mistaken.
This is not a date. I'm just repaying you
for helping me last time.
I don't care what it is.
What's important is that we're watching a movie together.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Hey, it's Woo-yeon and Soo.
Why are they together?
What?
They'll think it's strange to see us together.
-Why? -They'll think we're on a date...
Anyway, I don't want them to mistake us.
That was close.
Do I embarrass you?
No.
It's not that. I just don't want to be misunderstood.
I should've studied harder.
-What? -I should've gone to a better school
and got a better job.
I should've tried to become a better adult.
Hey.
Going to a good university
and having a good job doesn't make someone a better person.
I don't know. It just crossed my mind.
Let's go.
-Hello? -Hello?
-What? -What?
How can I be so unlucky today?
How's your forehead? Do you need any ointment?
Why are you laughing?
-You're strange. -How?
You're not like the Soo I know.
Forget him. He died.
It's nice to be here together like this.
I'm going to go to the washroom.
Okay.
Gosh.
I'm sorry.
-Are you okay? -Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm okay. -Just a moment.
Should we call it a day today?
Yes.
All right.
But aren't you hungry?
-What? -Well...
We couldn't eat properly nor watch the movie.
Are you feeling okay?
I'm feeling okay,
but my outfit...
I'm okay with it,
but you might feel uncomfortable.
Right.
Or...
do you want to go to my place?
We can eat there too.
We didn't get to have a proper date today.
I guess we could.
I'll drive to my place then.
Okay.
Mr. Kim Jun Yeong decided to file a suit against you
for the August 8th assault case.
He has footage and a medical report, so his evidence is clear.
It'd be best to settle.
I have no intention of settling nicely.
You should enjoy the rice with beans they serve behind bars.
You said it's your favorite, right?
You punk.
Could I speak to you separately?
Sure.
It's too big, right?
What are you doing?
You look so cute. I need to keep a record of it.
What is this? I'm not looking my best today.
I'll shoot you more when you're looking your best.
Let me see.
It looks nice.
You're a pretty good photographer.
You're pretty good at hitting people.
You're so strong.
No way. I'm really weak.
What are you saying? You're strong.
Look.
You were too close.
Give me your wallet.
-Why? -To put in the settlement money.
-Why are you paying for that? -Hurry up and hand it over.
Why are you giving it to me in cash?
If I wire it to you, you'll have to pay 22 percent in tax.
Gosh.
Kim Jun-young
Why are you taking a picture of that?
Article 231 of the Criminal Code states that a forgery
of a private document can get you five years of imprisonment
or up to 10 million won in penalty.
This student card is that forged document.
"10 million won"?
Unfortunately, you decided to forge a Seoul National University student card.
Since it's a national university, this is a state document.
Article 225 of the Criminal Code states forgery of a national document
can get you ten years of imprisonment.
That's a huge jump. You get twice as much. Ten years.
Who are you?
Me?
Prosecutor Han Jin-ju
I'm a prosecutor.
The blankets at the Ministry of Justice are so thin.
The washrooms are terrible too.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to star in your own "Prison Playbook" for ten years?
No.
What should you do then?
I should drop the charges.
You're not completely stupid.
Stand up.
Open the door.
Go and tell them.
I'll drop the charges.
I don't need any settlement money.
It was my fault.
She's so cool.
Ta-da.
What is this? It's not like we were jailed.
Come on. Does it hurt to just eat it?
We didn't get to eat yet.
It's hot.
It's good, right? Is it good? Is it good?
Yes. Sang-hyeok, you're so good at cooking.
I know.
Why are you so happy when we went to a police station?
I'm just happy to be with you.
But you know, our first item we got as a couple was a complaint.
Are you crazy?
Eat. Please eat a lot, Ms. Prosecutor.
Why are you always dying to feed me?
I don't know.
I just want to feed you and entertain you whenever I see you.
Are you my mom?
A mom's love is true love.
You'll regret it if you lose me.
What are you saying?
Why did you suddenly start to take pictures of people?
I suddenly wanted to take them
because of someone.
I don't think I ever looked at people with affection before.
I don't know how much I missed because of that.
I wondered how much I'd miss in the future too.
While thinking about that,
taking pictures of people started to get fun.
Hey.
What is this? When did you take this?
I couldn't help it because you were so beautiful.
Since when did you start taking pictures?
Since I was eight.
You started really early.
Were you a prodigy?
I was a prodigy not just in photography, but in everything else too.
I was good at everything.
You sound like a narcissist.
I had to be a prodigy back then.
Mom and Dad would fight every day.
They'd check if I was sleeping,
then they closed the door before fighting.
I was never asleep.
I always sleep with the door open.
Why?
I don't like closed doors.
I thought it was my fault.
I thought I should be better.
I thought being a better son
would help my parents get along.
I was stupid.
Don't change yourself for others.
No matter what you do, those who want to leave will leave,
and those who want to stay will stay.
I got awards in everything.
I played Go and chess too.
I only did things my parents would be proud of.
Maybe he felt sorry for me,
but he took me out every weekend to take pictures.
The owner of the guesthouse.
Do you remember him?
That was the only time I was happy.
Because there are no right answers or scores with photography.
You must have been lonely.
I'm okay now
because I have you.
What is it?
Don't you know how to say hello?
Hello.
What is it?
Are you refusing to let an adult into your home?
Is that what your parents taught you?
You're my parent.
Give me some tea.
I can't.
Why not?
I guess you can't.
Hello.
I told you I can't.
Nice to meet you.
It was nice to meet you,
and I hope you have a good time.
Punk.
What a man.
Why didn't you listen?
You should've told me.
You didn't give me the chance.
Here.
What is this?
-Peaches? -Yes.
They're in season. They looked good.
I was reminded of you.
What's wrong?
Don't you like peaches?
It's not that.
This is the first time
you bought something because you were reminded of me.
I'm awkward with things like this,
but I'll let you off since Woo-yeon likes peaches.
Thank you so much for being so understanding.
I'm leaving.
You were wrong.
About what?
You told me not to keep anything you love too much by your side.
But
you must stay close because you love them.
Soo's Mom
Hello?
Do you want
to get dinner tomorrow?
-Did he leave? -Yes.
He must hate me.
I was with another guy the first time he met me,
and the second time, I look like this.
It's okay since I like you.
That's what you think.
What should we do tomorrow?
Do you want to meet every day?
Naturally. I'm going to make up for lost time.
What are you shooting
You.
From way over there?
I want to see you well from far away too.
What is that?
Why did you want to wear our uniforms?
To fabricate memories.
I'll overwrite all the memories from when we were 18 until now,
at least ten-years' worth, with nice memories.
Let's go play, Woo-yeon.
Let's go.
Goodness.
I love you.
Come with me.
-It's so nice out. -It really is.
It's a boat tour.
Do you want to go on one? Should we?
No, not now. Let's go during the fireworks festival.
It's impossible to get tickets for that night.
I can handle that much.
Let's go wherever you want.
Okay.
I love you.
We spent every moment together.
It was as if we've never been apart.
It was as if there was never a gap between us.
-Bye. -Bye.
-I'm really going now. -Okay.
Let go.
Bye.
As if we were trying to cover up all the bad memories with good ones,
swearing that if you love one another, you must be together
like it were a religion,
we dated with a vengeance.
Tonight
What?
We're going out.
I belong to Woo-yeon.
-Congrats. -I never even imagined this combo.
It's a combo we didn't want to even imagine.
It was predictable though.
What? Did you know?
Why are you so calm? Did you know too?
Only you didn't know.
-Where's Young-hee? -She had to do something.
Hey. Snap out of it. She's a total player.
I have objective proof.
You twerp. You know I can hear you.
You can? My bad.
Then I'll speak comfortably.
-She has 12 ex-boyfriends... -It's 13.
She took a test to see what dating type she is,
and she was a player... What was it?
Serial dater.
Think this over.
You may become the next ex-boyfriend.
Seriously, you're testing my patience.
What do you know about my Woo-yeon?
"My Woo-yeon"?
Your Woo-yeon may become someone else's Woo-yeon.
-Why you... -This is a weapon.
Want to go to jail for attempted murder?
Hey. Why are you hitting my man's hand?
Are you okay?
That must have hurt so much.
-Yes, it hurt. -Oh my gosh.
Did you scream at me? Just because you're obsessed with a guy.
Hey, you lunatic.
Why are you yelling at her? You're scaring my baby!
Why are you yelling at her? You'll scare her.
She has ears too.
Do you want to die?
Why are you grabbing him?
Why are you getting mad?
Is he your boyfriend or something?
Are you having a fling?
Please continue.
-Come on. -What?
Gosh.
Here. Do whatever you want, Woo-yeon.
Kill me. Go at it. Come on. Do it.
What's going on?
Wait. Hold on.
I'm totally having deja vu.
I feel like I stopped someone.
When was I against somebody going out with Woo-yeon?
Why would you do that?
No. Don't distract me.
I'm about to remember.
What was it?
On Joon-soo.
I see.
You really should just get beat up.
Let me return it.
Are you trying to get rid of all possible excuses today?
When I really want you to come out although I have no excuse.
Let me use that excuse then.
Hey.
What's so great about her that you're hurting so much?
She didn't want you and dumped you. You should dump her too.
The woman that I like.
-What? -She isn't the woman who doesn't like me,
but the woman that I like.
Is love your drunken habit?
Switch careers into a lover boy.
Why are you so desperate?
-Another absinthe, please. -Hey.
Do you think you're Van Gogh?
Why are you drinking so much of that strong liquor?
You'll get alcohol poisoning. You'll start hallucinating.
I don't care if I hallucinate.
I don't care what it is.
I want to see her.
I want to at least hear her voice.
Woo-yeon
Am I hallucinating?
Woo-yeon
May I come see you tomorrow?
I don't think so.
Gosh. Look how happy he is. Gosh.
What?
I shouldn't drink anymore.
Gosh.
"The Harmless Person"
How nice would it be if feelings were that simple?
If only feelings could be blocked and stopped.
I ordered for you
since you only drink Iced Americanos.
I thought I should return this.
It's my final excuse.
And you brought it to me.
Are you with him now?
Your consideration hurts each time.
You can go, Woo-yeon. I'll stay here.
Don't tell me not to do that.
You can't control your feelings.
You know that better than anyone.
-Mr. On. -I won't bother you.
I'll just,
as always,
stay right here.
If there's a time when you need comfort...
If you need me, even if it's not for comfort,
come to me then.
I know that whatever I say will hurt you.
I will save my words.
You should save your heart.
If you give too much to someone who doesn't accept you,
you'll run out of love to give to the next person.
Don't you be considerate.
Everything you do to be nice
really hurts.
"The Harmless Person"
Do you believe in fate?
I did it for ten years. Is that so hard?
CEO Oh Joon-soo
We meet again.
Hello.
I'm On Joon-soo.
I'll do well on the photo book.
Just so I don't doubt myself,
I'll do really well.
I like you.
I'm done for.
I'm sorry.
There are so many reasons to like you.
But even if I go over that long list,
I can't love you.
He keeps getting new opportunities
even after he loses them.
I envy him.
Even if he throws opportunities and my feelings on the ground,
I keep wanting to put them back in his hand.
So please stop making me feel bad.
It's pretty in here.
Welcome.
What's he doing in there?
Who was that?
What?
Why did you act like you saw your ex?
I'm hungry. Let's get something else to eat.
GGgo
-Welcome. -Hello.
Instant seafood pan-fried rice and stir-fried noodles, please.
Okay. Is it to go?
-For here. -Okay.
It's good. It's quite addictive.
It is.
Was that really your ex?
I just dated him for a while.
A month or two?
Don't mind him.
Don't make excuses. I don't mind.
You're not jealous?
I don't get jealous, obsess, or get possessive.
That's good to hear. I'm relieved.
Eat up.
I'm home.
-You're back early. -Yes.
Did you eat?
Yes.
Do you see Young-hee these days?
I do sometimes, but I can't call as often.
I'm afraid that I'm bothering her.
You should bother her sometimes.
She'll worry if she has free time,
and she can't survive if that's all she thinks about.
She should be bothered sometimes if she's to stop worrying.
She can only get through if she gets some fresh air.
Get some rest.
Okay.
Kim Young-hee!
What are you doing here?
Get in first.
-What? -Get in already.
What's the occasion? You even drove over?
I haven't driven in a while, and I think I'm getting rusty.
And I missed you too.
So, where are we going?
Where do you want to go?
No, don't say. Just trust me.
My gosh.
What are you saying?
Am I bothering you when you should visit your mom?
She has a caretaker,
and I drop by when I can. It's fine.
It's nice to see you.
I heard you're dating Soo. How are things?
It's nice. Everything's nice.
I don't get jealous, obsess, or get possessive.
He trusts me very much.
I miss you, Woo-yeon.
Should I come over now?
What?
I'm not wearing any makeup.
Then we can meet tomorrow.
Yes. We can meet tomorrow.
What are you doing?
Me? I'm just working.
You'll be busy, then. I'll call you tomorrow.
Sleep well.
Okay.
Sleep well.
Lee Soo
He always acts before he speaks.
Go on inside.
I don't have to go home right now.
It's late.
Okay. Go in.
He wants to spend every moment with me.
Why did you push him away when you'd be just fine?
For fear that his genuine feelings last only for a moment.
For fear the feelings came from jealousy.
For fear that I misunderstood him.
Feelings like that might be genuine for a while,
but they disappear soon.
I'm scared even now.
Then why do you date him?
To not waste time.
If it's hard to date him and hard not to,
I think it's best to just date him.
Rather than just suffer,
I'd rather have a good time then suffer.
We took such a long way round.
All that time was a waste enough.
I don't want to waste any more time.
Kyung Woo-yeon's all grown up and even knows about love now.
I do.
You're all grown up.
Woo-yeon sometimes said that when she's with a loved one,
it feels as if time wears away faster.
She said it means that time became more precious.
I realized what that feels like only recently.
My mom's time is wearing away faster.
Here.
This is nothing special,
and we're doing it now.
I know. It's nothing, and we're doing it now.
If I think about it,
I really wasn't a good mom, was I?
Now you realized that?
No. I knew all along,
but I regret it so much now.
Forget it. You said I wasn't a good daughter either.
You were a good daughter.
If I were you,
and I had a poor family and a sick mom,
I'd have run away long ago.
I have nowhere else to go.
The doctor said that
cancer treatments
make even a saint angry.
I'll become an even worse mom now.
Do you think I won't understand that?
Don't try to understand.
If just one person is understanding, that person gets sick.
So don't come to see me.
Unless you have to.
You say such sweet things.
I'm your guardian.
It's a nice thing to have a guardian and be protected.
If the guardian's your child,
as a parent, it really hurts.
It's uncomfortable.
Bear with it, even if it's uncomfortable.
I like being with you, even if it's like this.
Affection doesn't feel right from you.
I got that from you.
-Gimbap. -Did you buy different kinds?
Hey. Why didn't you get anchovy gimbap?
Anchovies don't taste good.
You don't eat anchovies
and that's why you're weak and short like one.
My growth plates can hear you.
Don't upset them.
What?
My gosh.
It looks good.
Do you feel lonely?
Why do you keep inviting me for dinner?
Just because.
To spend time with you.
-Do you know Soo's dating? -Really?
Who's he seeing? That girl?
Yes.
That's great. He seems to really like her.
There's something I decided to do once I met you.
It became more like a belief.
I told Soo to do the same.
He's better than me.
What was that?
"Don't keep anything you love too much"
"by your side."
He said I'm wrong.
"You must stay close"
"because you love them."
You're right. Soo's better than you.
Next time,
shall we watch a movie?
Well, you do like to watch movies.
And it's been a while since we went to a cinema.
I guess we could do that.
Hey.
What did you do today?
I went on a picnic with my mom and Cheol-su.
A picnic?
It wasn't too special.
We ate gimbap in a nearby park.
Good for you.
I know.
I should've been nicer sooner.
It's not too late yet. It's okay.
Yes.
What about you? What did you do today?
I visited my family.
Do your parents know about my mom?
What did they say?
They're worried and concerned.
They said it must be hard on you.
Is that it?
Yes. That's it.
I see.
Let's swing and the person who goes higher gets a wish.
Okay.
What?
I give in.
Don't go too high. You'll get hurt.
-Hang on. -Why?
Why did he ask to drink first?
-Who? -Soo.
What?
Did I do something wrong?
No, it's not that.
I just remembered something.
Does it still hurt where I hit you?
No. It's fine now.
But are you really not angry?
Hey. Did Kyung Woo-yeon punch you?
Hey. Don't you have any manners?
Let me see. Where did she hit you?
She hit me before and it really hurts.
I'll put ointment on for you. Where was it?
Hey. You can't tell me where.
She hit you somewhere secretive. Like...
Hey.
She really did hit you down there.
That's quite serious.
What must you do to get hit down there?
Girls never hit that part however angry they are.
Unless that part is of no use.
Yes. It's of no use.
Poor you.
-I should just kill you. -No, don't.
Is Woo-yeon
into stuff like platonic love?
There's no way Kyung Woo-yeon's like that.
She loves getting physical.
When did you get here?
That's not important. The issue is she hit you.
How much did you hear?
So? Why did she hit you?
Gosh.
All my underwear looks like this.
I can't show him anything like this.
I don't know why.
Is she sick of you already?
Hey. We've been dating for less than a month.
She's like that sometimes. She never dates one for long.
There's something she always said.
She said she became bitter because you didn't like her
and that bitterness fueled the unrequited love for ten years.
Maybe it ran out.
I doubt that.
Hold on.
Did she like him for ten years?
Did she tell you that she loves you?
What?
That's the most certain.
That's Woo-yeon's rule.
She said she can't tell someone she loves them if she doesn't.
She said that's her rule.
I love you.
Hello?
Woo-yeon.
Are you crying?
Did I
do something wrong?
What? What do you mean?
Tell me if I did.
If you don't want to tell me because I'm drunk,
I'll write it down.
Tell me, and I'll fix them all.
Woo-yeon, come take your man.
He's impossible.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Did you feed him drinks?
Why are you making money off of your friend?
Hey, you. Your boyfriend drank. He didn't force it on him.
He was whining that he thinks you don't like him
and that you never told him that you love him.
He was unbearable.
What? Did you call me?
The poor guy thinks his name is "Bear."
I thought it was a pet name.
Hey. How could you kick him there of all places?
You know how important it is.
It was a reflex.
What?
What is it?
Then... You love Soo, right?
Obviously.
Then tell him that you love him.
My gosh. You keep crossing the line.
Pick him up.
Don't scold me if you're going to order me around.
Hey, get up. Hey.
Goodness.
I'll fix them all.
Woo-yeon.
Yes?
Are you up?
Are you playing me too?
What?
Why won't you tell me that you love me?
How many ex-boyfriends do you have?
I don't want to be your next ex-boyfriend.
I couldn't say it because I was too nervous.
I love you.
Ta-da.
A new menu item?
With limited availability only for Han Jin-ju.
What is it?
I made it with only things that are good for you.
Enjoy.
Seriously...
Why are you doing this to me?
I said I'd do my best to win you over,
but I don't know how.
So I'm doing what I'm good at
and like.
What?
Do you think doing things like this will make me like you?
You don't have to.
I'd like you to know how it feels to be loved.
Then you wouldn't like just anyone.
Then your standards will get higher, and you won't get hurt.
That's my objective.
I don't want you getting hurt.
Hey.
See?
I don't want you getting hurt.
Thanks.

Can we meet later after work?
Are you looking for anything in particular?
I want something very sexy.
Okay. Give me a minute.
How's this?
I think this is the best.
That's so embarrassing.
I'll take it.
Okay, give me a minute.
What brings you to my office?
I'll be honest.
When someone starts a conversation with "I'll be honest,"
you must be on guard.
Let Hyun-jae go.
Because they mean they plan to hurt you
hiding behind the shield called honesty.
Hold the elevator!
Thank you.
You can't keep yourself from looking because I'm so pretty, right?
Excuse me?
It's okay.
I'm pretty so that people can look.
I've missed you.
Long time no see. Come in.
Soo's method may have been right.
Things that I love too much
hurt me.

"They hate being constricted."
"If they are constricted too much,"
"they will try to avoid it."
"Is someone else of the opposite sex seduces them"
Serial daters
"they will readily switch over to that person."
Serial daters
"Thus, if an obsessive type is overly obsessive,"
"the serial dater will resist and run away."
Aren't you jealous?
I don't get jealous, obsess, or get possessive.
That's good to hear. I'm relieved.

I miss you, Woo-yeon.
Should I come over now?
What?
I'm not wearing any makeup.
Then we can meet tomorrow.
Okay.
Right. We can meet up tomorrow.
What are you doing?
Me? I'm just working.
You must be busy.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Night.
Good night, Woo-yeon.
Go on inside.
I don't have to go home right now.
It's late.
Okay. Go in.
I don't want to let you go.
