Nice to Not Meet You (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

This will make you happy.
I'll only be getting
half of what you get paid.
You said you'd do it
for double my pay, remember?
Let's go.
Hello.
I'm Gwon Se-na, and I'll be joining
the cast of Good Detective Kang Pil-gu.
Wow!
About that video I handed over to you…
There was one more person
who wasn't in it.
Someone really famous.
Gwon Se-na.
I'm just too scared
to keep this to myself.
POSSIBLE 3RD-PARTY INVOLVEMENT?
Bro, are you okay?
What's wrong? Can you not breathe again?
-Try exhaling.
-It's not that.
Breathe! Come on!
I said it's not that!
It's not that I can't breathe.
I'm just too pissed off to breathe!
I only just found out about Se-na myself.
You really didn't know?
I swear, I didn't know!
-Why would I risk it and lie to you?
-How the hell could you not know?
I guess since we turned down the movie,
they kept it a secret
so it wouldn't fall through again.
Stop lying!
Okay, listen to me, bro.
I'm sorry.
But I can't film the drama
with Ms. Gwon Se-na.
I like Mr. Lim Hyeon-jun.
You know we used to date, right?
You didn't know?
Am I the only one who didn't know?
I was awful to him when we broke up,
so Hyeon-jun is very angry with me.
I want to use this as an opportunity
to make up with him.
You'll help me, right?
In the story, Ju-ri and Hun-seok
meet through a dating app.
Have you used one before?
Do girls really meet guys
through dating apps?
Isn't that what f losers do?
I'm so f exhausted.
Hey, can you pass me that?
I'm sorry, everyone.
I'm still hungover, you see.
Don't be mad at me!
I'm so f tired.
I'm so sorry.
I worked late last night
and didn't get any sleep.
I'm sorry.
Don't be mad at me!
By the way,
-can I get one of those too?
-What?
This interview is so boring
that I need one of those to wake up.
I'm so sorry!
Hey, hand me my phone.
I'm glad that's off my chest.
You want to make up?
You and me?
What made you even think of
being in this drama?
I knew you'd never drop Kang Pil-gu.
Then what about that movie?
I turned it down after you did.
Is that so? Yay for me!
Then I'll drop Kang Pil-gu
and do that movie instead.
Then I'll do that movie too.
What are you up to?
I told you.
I still have feelings for you
and want to make up.
Gwon Se-na, snap out of it.
How can we possibly work together
on the same project?
We can't possibly work together
on the same project.
I really need this role.
Do you want me to disappear entirely
from this industry?
Yes.
It'd be great if you disappeared.
I was horrible, wasn't I?
I was too young to know better.
Don't make excuses.
I was young too,
and I was desperate for that role.
I don't want to apologize
or ask for your forgiveness.
I stopped making
pathetic excuses like that ages ago,
so I can't even say it.
Can't you just think of it this way?
Let's pretend we're meeting
for the first time today.
Like we're starting over again.
Do I look like I have amnesia?
Are you just now getting to work?
I'm coming back from an interview.
How's the job going?
I'm trying to adjust.
I hear you'll be covering
the baseball game tomorrow.
The first pitch, I mean.
Oh, yes.
How about going together?
Excuse me?
I'm sorry.
Did that sound too flirty?
Not at all.
I never said that.
That's too bad,
because I meant to sound flirty.
What are you doing?
I want to be that thing you said.
Someone who's decided
to be a good person, no matter what.
Mr. Lee, you're a very good person.
It's as if you decided
that you'd always be a good person to me,
no matter what.
Looking back on it,
I really liked what you said.
So I really want to try
being that kind of person.
If we happen to run into each other
at the baseball stadium tomorrow,
wouldn't that be really nice?
Right, yes.
-Shall I call now?
-Yeah.
-I'll see you tomorrow, then.
-Okay.
-You're late.
-There was traffic.
What were you and Mr. Lee talking about?
He said he'd see you tomorrow.
Do I have to answer that?
Isn't that the purpose of a question?
We were just…
We were talking about some personal stuff.
I asked around…
and found out that Se-na turned down
a bunch of movie offers
and took a huge pay cut to do Kang Pil-gu.
Everyone's saying she must really want to
get back together with Hyeon-jun
since there's no other reason
she would take a supporting role.
-She says she still has feelings for me.
-What?
-She wants to start over again.
-Seriously?
It looks like she'll turn up
in every project I do.
So what are you going to do?
Now isn't the time to talk about that.
Forget Gwon Se-na for now.
Didn't we agree never to meet again
as director and actor?
I know what you're worried about, Mr. Lim.
But things are different now.
I don't have much say in things anymore.
And you said you didn't want to do it
because of Ms. Gwon, not me.
I'm glad you brought that up.
Then drop Ms. Gwon
before you approach me, Director.
Why would I drop a global star like her?
Then how about this?
In the first episode,
I chase a suspect in a car
and then get into a huge accident.
So I undergo a face swap
and come out completely transformed.
That way, another actor
can take over as Kang Pil-gu.
Mr. Lim.
I'll film up to that scene,
for old times' sake.
I'm sorry to interrupt,
but now's the time to play this.
I, Lim Hyeon-jun, swear to perform
-in season five of Kang Pil-gu,
-Damn you!
no matter what!
"Right now, I think it's best
that you continue what you're doing
rather than trying something new."
That's what the cards say.
Let's pretend we're meeting
for the first time today.
Like we're starting over again.
I, Lim Hyeon-jun, swear to perform
in season five of Kang Pil-gu,
no matter what!
What was that?
Why did my mind jump to that
for no reason?
Did you think
I was one of the hostesses there?
I owe her an apology.
It's really weighing me down.
Bro, are you okay?
-Mr. Hwang.
-Yeah?
Can you go and apologize
to someone for me?
Bro, apologies
and caring for your folks are on you.
I guess this season will be a megahit
if Gwon Se-na is in it.
-That goes without saying.
-Mr. Hwang.
I'm being serious right now.
If you tell me to do Kang Pil-gu
one more time,
I'll find a different agency.
This is the last time, and I mean it.
Wait, you'll do it?
-Bro, you'll really do it?
-Yeah.
You sure you're okay
working with Gwon Se-na?
Of course, I'm not okay.
But I will be,
because I'm a better person than her.
Good call, bro!
I don't care
if she still has feelings for me.
I'm going to focus on my work.
-I like the serious act.
-It's not an act.
That said,
I have a few conditions.
Conditions?
-First.
-First.
There will be no romantic storyline
with Gwon Se-na.
No physical intimacy whatsoever.
Second.
Only five scenes
with Gwon Se-na per episode.
No more than that.
Third.
The second unit will start the shoot,
and I'll only work with its director,
not with Director Bak Byeong-gi.
Fourth.
After this season, Lim Hyeon-jun
will no longer appear in Kang Pil-gu.
Go ahead and drink it.
You've always wanted to try it.
Those are my conditions.
If you agree to these conditions,
-he says he'll do it.
-What if we don't?
If you don't agree to them,
then he won't do it.
How about we agree for now
and change our tune later?
-Right!
-Right.
If you change your tune,
then he won't do it.
They agreed to the conditions?
All of them?
What did Byeong-gi say?
Mr. Bak… I guess he's Director Bak now.
Anyway, he agreed to everything.
You know he's not
the two-faced type, right?
I think we can trust him.
He's changed a lot.
He's not the same
indie-film-making fanatic anymore.
He takes one-on-one Pilates lessons
and sips 20,000-won coffee
while having brunch.
He's not the same Bak Byeong-gi
from back in the day.
Bro, you own a supercar
worth hundreds of millions of won,
while bossing around
the director and production company.
And you eat salad with chicken breast
instead of just fried chicken.
Do you think you're still the same?
Fine, whatever.
Oh, and about that blind date
with no celebrities or reporters…
I know someone who's really great.
Should I go ahead and set it up?
A blind date?
Sure, maybe after all this is over.
Jeez, you were begging not too long ago.
Anyway, I'll see you
at the baseball stadium later.
Hey, hold on.
They'll probably send a sports reporter
for today's first pitch event, right?
Hey, bro, I'm getting a call right now.
See you later!
You're going on a blind date?
Man, you scared me.
Yeah, so what?
I really liked that reporter.
If you like her that much,
you should go out with her instead.
Have you even seen her before?
I met her when I went to Hong-sin's place.
She seemed really cool
and passionate about her job.
Are you still hanging out with him?
Do I need your permission
to see friends at my age?
And Hyeon-jun.
I'm saying this because I care about you,
but you need to meet someone
who likes you for who you are,
not because you're an actor.
Not that you'd find someone like that
with your sense of judgment.
What's wrong with my sense of judgment?
Wow, there are so many people here.
Wind it up and pitch!
Why are you so excited?
Why wouldn't I be excited?
I never come because I'm so busy
waiting on you hand and foot.
Hand and foot?
Stop talking like I'm some mother-in-law.
You're worse than that.
Can I go and get player autographs later?
Fine, go ahead.
But come right back.
-All right.
-It's awkward being alone.
Let's hurry along.
RESTRICTED AREA
COACHING STAFF ONLY
I look forward to today's game.
-Thank you.
-Thank you, sir.
-Thank you, sir.
-Thank you.
Jeez!
Man, why am I pitching worse?
Darn it.
You're in great form.
-What?
-You must've played baseball before.
-Let's get into pitching form.
-Okay.
-Start your windup.
-Okay.
-Now stop.
-Stop?
The important thing is
to keep your back foot planted.
-Engage your glutes to hold position.
-Okay.
Use your glutes to stay balanced.
As you move forward,
-extend your front hand,
-Okay.
and then throw with your back hand.
-Right.
-But don't throw with your arm.
Use your body rotation to throw the ball.
-Should I give it a try?
-Yes, go ahead.
All right.
-Nicely done.
-Wow, that felt different.
Are you a baseball player?
I was, a long time ago.
Hold on…
Have we met before? You look familiar.
I just have one of those faces.
-Why don't you throw again?
-Okay.
Ms. Wi!
-Hello.
-Hello.
You must be doing the interview today.
Yes, that's right.
I got lost because the stadium is so big.
Mr. Lim is practicing
his first pitch right now.
-Really?
-Come with me.
-Shall I?
-Yes, come on.
Wow, very nice.
You're a very fast learner.
I wish it had landed
more in the strike zone.
Mr. Lim.
You're Lee Jae-hyeong, aren't you?
This is amazing. Can I shake your hand?
You took me by surprise.
Ms. Wi, you're finally here.
So you really did come.
Of course.
Remember how I said
we might happen to run into each other?
Bro, how come you're getting coached
by Mr. Lee Jae-hyeong?
What an honor.
Who knew I'd get to see
Lee Jae-hyeong in real life?
Don't you know who he is?
Holy cow.
He played in the majors
for the New York Hartz!
Oh, come on.
Of course, I know who he is!
How could I not know Mr. Lee Jae-hyeong?
Well, I'm just a corporate worker now.
My goodness, just a coporate worker?
You're the president of Sports Eunseong.
-Right, Ms. Wi?
-Yes.
I'm just here for the game today.
Ms. Wi, you said it's your first time
at a baseball stadium, right?
Yes.
Then let's watch together
after the interview.
These stadiums seem huge,
but you can actually see things up close.
You can even see
the players' faces clearly.
Shall we, then?
If my team wins today,
I'll buy you dinner.
Okay.
Is this your first time
throwing the first pitch?
Yes.
You must be happy to throw the first pitch
for your favorite team.
Yes.
What's your mindset going into today?
"Do your best."
"Just do your best."
-Mr. Lim Hyeon-jun.
-Yes?
How am I supposed to write the article
if you only give me short answers?
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
That's it for the interview.
What?
You told me to figure it out
with your short answers, so I will.
You know that's not what I meant.
-I…
-Ms. Wi.
-Are you done with the interview?
-Yes, I am.
Wait, I…
Let's go now, then.
The game's about to start.
Excuse me, Ms. Wi?
Good luck with your first pitch, Mr. Lim.
You've got this!
I've got this.
Hey, bro.
We're watching the game
after the first pitch, right?
Come on, they gave us VIP seats!
When's the next time
I'll be able to watch a game from there?
Right, Ms. Wi and Mr. Lee
will be there too.
I've got to get his autograph.
An autograph? Seriously, act your age.
Why are you in a bad mood? What happened?
Can I get an autograph?
What a pretty name.
No, but really,
my daughter is a huge fan
of Mr. Lee Jae-hyeong.
You retired too early.
Jeez.
I wondered where I'd seen him before.
So you used to be a baseball player?
I played in the pros for a bit.
I was pretty famous, you know.
Could you show some more interest?
What should we have for dinner later?
What do you like, Ms. Wi?
Didn't you say you'd buy dinner
if your team wins?
I'm rooting for both teams.
One of them will win.
-Dig in, please.
-All right.
Bro, you okay?
-What?
-Are you okay?
Yeah.
Now, the star
of Good Detective Kang Pil-gu,
Mr. Lim Hyeon-jun,
will throw the first pitch!
LIM HYEON-JUN
TODAY'S FIRST PITCH GUES
Hello, everyone!
I'm Lim Hyeon-jun,
the actor who plays Kang Pil-gu
in Good Detective Kang Pil-gu!
Thank you!
He nailed that throw.
It was worth giving him a crash course.
What's wrong? Do you feel ill?
No, I'm okay.
BAHN SOO-JUNG
Mr. Lee.
I'm sorry,
but I won't make it to dinner tonight.
But…
I'm sorry for calling you so suddenly.
It's okay.
But you don't look so well.
I haven't been able to sleep.
Soo-jung, is there something
you're hiding from me?
Ms. Wi.
Can you pretend you never saw
the video I handed over to you?
And forget you ever heard
Gwon Se-na's name.
Why? What's going on?
The truth is,
another hostess who was there that night…
asked that man for money.
She thought he and Gwon Se-na were dating,
so she said she'd expose them
if he didn't pay.
But he gave her a huge amount.
She was so scared
that she promised to return the money
and not to expose them.
But he said you can't undo
what's been done,
and that if word gets out,
he'd come after her.
I haven't been able
to reach her since then.
Ms. Wi.
That man is seriously dangerous, isn't he?
If you want this to end,
you have to tell me the truth
about everything.
Everything about that man,
and about Gwon Se-na as well.
When you were at the Geumsang Arts Awards…
That night,
the chairman you asked questions to…
It was him.
That's the man who dated Ms. Gwon Se-na.
EUNSEONGILBO'S CHAIRMAN LEE DAE-HO
AT THE GEUMSANG ARTS AWARDS
LEE DAE-HO
LEE DAE-HO
EUNSEONG GROUP (CHAIRMAN)
YOUNGER BROTHER
LEE JAE-HYEONG
I recently joined Sports Eunseong
as the new president.
Do you run a conglomerate?
My brother's the one who runs it.
I'm just a salaried president.
So the passcode's the same
as your last place.
How did you find this place?
Why pretend to live modestly
when you can be in a mansion?
Get out.
Barging into your ex's place like this
is considered trespassing.
Did we break up?
Why? When?
What are you up to?
If you don't want to break up with me,
then get a divorce.
Hey, Gwon Se-na.
Listen carefully.
You're not stupid,
so I won't repeat myself.
We're an economic community.
You know what that is, right?
That means you and I
can't break up that easily, okay?
I was worried you'd have a panic attack.
I'm glad you didn't.
Look, I'm stronger than you think.
Right.
By the way,
why did Ms. Wi take off
without watching the game?
You have Ms. Wi's number, right?
Yeah, I think I got her business card.
Give it to me.
Why?
Because the interview went badly?
No, it's because
I said something I shouldn't have.
What did you say?
Did you think
I was one of the hostesses there?
Jeez.
Are you saying you were dressed like that
to do some undercover reporting
or something like that?
What if I was?
Bro, have you lost your mind?
Even if you had suspicions,
you should've kept them to yourself.
Why would you say that to her face?
Do you think
she got really offended?
Totally.
I would've sued you immediately.
Come on.
Was it that bad?
Totally.
Jeez, I'll lose face if I call her first.
All right.
I'll save her number first.
Wait a minute.
If I save her number,
she'll see my name when I message her.
Darn it.
Goodness.
-Hello.
-Hello.
I saw you throw the first pitch.
You looked amazing.
-Thank you.
-By the way,
I heard your mother is
actress Seong Ae-suk.
You must've gotten
your acting genes from her.
-Please go ahead. I have a call to make.
-Come on.
-Let's go up together.
-No, it's okay.
Go ahead.
-It says your mother is Seong Ae-suk,
-Did you plan on revealing that your…
Do you still keep in touch with Ms. Seong?
How long have you known
that Ms. Seong was in erotic films?
Why did you hide this?
If I hadn't given birth to you back then,
I could've escaped my sexy public image,
and my career would've taken off!
So you had another panic attack?
Yes.
I'm always aware of my anxiety
when I have to be around a lot of people.
But I had an attack near the elevator
in my apartment building.
What kind of situation was it?
I was with some neighbors I usually greet.
They said something that bothered me,
and the second I heard it,
I couldn't breathe all of a sudden.
I knew I was having another panic attack.
Right, so…
Should I just wrap it up again?
There's no one in the waiting room today,
so you can keep going.
I see.
I've been very curious about this.
How on earth did I get a panic disorder?
I just can't understand it.
In what way?
My career was once ruined
because of a woman,
my mom got into money trouble,
and I had to make money
for my brother's tuition.
Even though I'd stay up all night
binding books at the print shop,
I was totally fine.
I'm in a much better place now
than I was back then.
I can have or do whatever I want,
and I'm living a life anyone would envy.
So how can I get a panic disorder
over something so petty?
If someone like me gets a panic order,
then wouldn't nine out of ten people
in this country have it as well?
It's common for panic to set in
once people return from battle,
rather than during the actual battle.
Then what else can I do
to make myself better
other than taking meds?
Sleep well and eat well.
And avoid drinking
alcohol and coffee for now.
And when it comes to mental health,
it helps to have positive relationships.
Then…
By any chance,
do you think dating…
could be helpful?
Of course, meeting the right person
can definitely help.
But don't expect your panic to get better
just because someone cares for you.
Love is better when it's reciprocated.
It's the same as hyperventilating
if you think about it.
People think that breathing a lot
will make the suffocating feeling go away.
Similarly, people think
that building a bond with someone
and feeling loved and cared for
will make things better.
But that's not true.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Just as we breathe in and out,
love has to be both given and received.
Hello.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Mr. Lim, what's your MBTI type?
My MBTI type?
Well, I'm INFJ--
No, you're INTP.
Is that so?
You know better than I do.
You're naturally very energetic
and can't stand injustice.
So I thought you were an extrovert,
but you're the total opposite.
I see.
Well, that's because Kang Pil-gu
is just a character I play.
Where do you live, Mr. Lim?
Oh, I live--
I saw online
that you live in the Hannam Dia.
Isn't that place super expensive?
That information shows up online?
Yes, of course.
Have you met Byeon Woo-seok?
How about Cha Eun-woo?
I bet they're so handsome in person.
Yes, of course.
Right.
Are you really Lim Hyeon-jun?
I'm such a huge fan!
I watched every season of Kang Pil-gu.
-Thank you--
-Snap!
"They say you can't fix people."
"But I do."
That's the line, right?
Yes, right.
Gosh, it feels like
I should give you an autograph.
Yes, please. And I want a photo.
I can post it on my social media, right?
Thanks!
Hold on, I…
Smile!
Mr. Lim, did you get home safely?
It was a real pleasure and honor
to meet you today.
Honor, my ass.
Hyeon-jun, are you home?
Hey, how do kids these days
meet people to date?
Why do you ask?
My friends use dating apps.
Dating apps?
What's the world coming to?
It won't be long
before AI takes over the world.
You're one to talk.
Su-ji is your best friend.
And people used to meet as pen pals
and then get married.
Focus on your studies
instead of lecturing me, you punk.
Jeez.
By the way, what's in those boxes?
Those are the rice cookers that I promote.
The advertiser sent them as a gift,
but I have no one to give them to.
They look expensive.
Can I sell them on Onion?
Onion?
Oh, that secondhand platform?
-Do whatever you want.
-Awesome.
Oh, right.
-My account got suspended.
-Why?
I sold a few of the down jackets
you received as gifts,
and someone reported me
as a commercial seller.
Oh, boy.
Let me borrow your phone.
Hey, how do you know my passcode?
It's my birthday.
ENTER NICKNAME: KANG PIL-GU
NICKNAME TAKEN
Why are there so many Kang Pil-gus?
What are you doing?
I downloaded the Onion app,
but there are too many Kang Pil-gus.
This won't do.
How much of my stuff did you sell
for your account to get suspended?
Hey!
What are you doing with my phone?
Of course, meeting the right person
can definitely help.
You need to meet someone
who likes you for who you are,
not because you're an actor.
Onion!
What, already?
Hello, do you still have the rice cooker?
Of course, I do.
-Yes, I do.
-Can you give me a 30,000 won discount?
Thirty thousand won?
Sure, do whatever you want.
Yes, I can do that.
That punk set my nickname as "Melomaster."
SOULISHERE, MELOMASTER
Melomaster…
Can I get a veggie sandwich
on Parmesan oregano bread
with lettuce, tomato, cucumber,
bell peppers, and onion?
And the sauce… Can you recommend one?
-Sure thing.
-Thank you.
Wow, I went with your suggestion,
and it tastes great!
See? I eat this all the time
when I'm on a diet.
By the way, how did the blind dates go?
They were okay, I guess.
What's wrong? You didn't like any of them?
No, it just felt like
I was holding one-on-one fan meetings.
This is all your fault!
I need to be in rom-coms or melodramas
if I want a dating life!
Why do you always blame me for everything?
Seriously. Oh, right.
The article about you doing Kang Pil-gu
is going out today.
-That's okay, right?
-Yeah.
I'm meeting the chief of Sports Eunseong
and Ms. Wi.
Are you coming?
Do I have to be there?
I guess you're busy
with the commercial shoot.
Did you think
I was one of the hostesses there?
Actually, no.
I'll make some time.
Okay, then.
-Hello?
-It's me.
Thank you.
Don't thank me.
I'm not doing it
because you still have feelings for me.
I just don't want to
sink to your level as a person.
So don't take it the wrong way.
-Are you listening?
-Yeah.
I heard everything you said.
I'll call you later.
Oh, hey.
-The director wants to explain
-Yeah?
the concept for today's shoot,
-so he's waiting outside.
-Oh, okay.
-Tell him to come in.
-Okay.
But he mentioned the concept has changed.
-Yeah, okay.
-Is that okay?
-Yes, tell him to come in.
-All right.
-Right, Gil-su.
-Yes?
Today's shoot will finish
before 6 p.m., right?
-Yes, likely so.
-Good.
Director.
Hello, Mr. Lim!
-Hello.
-It's an honor to work with you again.
Not at all. I look forward to it.
Let me explain the concept for the shoot.
-Did something change?
-Just a little bit.
-I see.
-If you see here, this is a ballet outfit…
Hold on.
I really shouldn't eat
since I'm on a diet.
If it's tasty, it's zero calories!
Why is this so salty?
I might kick the bucket eating this.
Sir.
Artisan Ramyeon's soup is light and mild,
so you won't kick the bucket!
Man, I'm kind of hungry.
But I'll probably regret eating ramyeon.
Detective, if you don't eat it now,
you'll regret it until tomorrow.
ARTISAN RAMYEON
MILD FLAVOR
Worried it's nighttime?
Worried it's past midnight?
Don't worry
Artisan Ramyeon is all good
You can enjoy it without worries
Tasty Artisan Ramyeon
Let's all enjoy Artisan Ramyeon
Artisan!
I'm not doing it!
Wearing a ramyeon packet costume
is bad enough as it is!
Why does it always have to end
with Kang Pil-gu?
Call Mr. Hwang, damn it.
Tell him I won't do this commercial!
Come on, please. They'll kill me.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm not doing it.
If it's tasty, it's zero calories.
Artisan Ramyeon is…
Cut! Let's go again.
I'm sorry.
Something urgent came up,
and the chief won't make it.
Oh, really?
Mr. Lim Hyeon-jun is filming
a ramyeon commercial right now.
The shoot is running longer than expected,
so he might not be able to make it.
I'm so sorry about this.
It's okay.
-Please go ahead and order.
-Thank you.
Let's all enjoy Artisan Ramyeon
Artisan!
Cut!
We're losing steam, guys.
Let's go again!
Ready.
…Artisan Ramyeon has chewy noodles,
and the soup is absolutely delicious!
Cut!
Let's take a break, everyone!
-Hyeon-jun, it's time to head back in.
-Okay.
What time is it, Gil-su?
It's 6 o'clock.
-It's 6 o'clock?
-Yes.
Let's film this already.
I got this!
-Yes!
-Let's go.
Detective, if you don't eat it now,
you'll regret it until tomorrow
because Artisan Ramyeon has chewy noodles,
and the soup is absolutely delicious!
Cut! Great job. That's a wrap!
Great job!
Hey, help me with this.
Let's hurry up and go!
-Gil-su.
-Yes?
How much further?
We're almost there.
All right. Just hurry, okay?
How much longer?
Not that much,
but the estimated time keeps increasing.
Let's hurry up, okay?
-I'll go as fast as I can.
-Okay, hurry up.
Go ahead and leave!
Wait, not there! It's over here.
Okay, go home!
What's the matter with him?
Ms. Wi, the reason I wanted to see you…
Oh, here you are.
What? Is the shoot over?
-Bro, how did you--
-Hey, bro.
Come on, bro. Take a seat.
-But Hyeon-jun--
-Come on, bro.
-How did you get here, Hyeon-jun?
-Well…
I thought the shoot was running late.
Well…
The shoot ended early
because it turned out well, bro.
Oh, I see.
Right, little bro.
-There wasn't any traffic on the way?
-None at all.
Right, I see.
It's been a while.
Yes, hello.
I thought you couldn't make it.
No, I made it.
Since it's about me,
I came here to tell you myself.
-Bro, did you tell her already?
-Tell her what?
-My news.
-No, not at all.
-Go ahead and tell her.
-Okay.
Oh, I'm getting a call.
-I have to take this.
-Okay.
Have you been well?
Yes.
Right.
-Have you been doing well?
-Yes.
Of course, I have.
Ms. Wi, I'm terribly sorry.
Something urgent came up,
so I have to leave right now.
The keywords for the article…
Right. Little bro, you can tell her.
-Me?
-Yes, that's right.
I'll see you later, then.
-Hey, but--
-Later!
Oh, go ahead.
What's the rush?
Let's eat before we begin.
But I'm done with dessert.
I haven't eaten yet, though.
The last order was 8 o'clock,
so the kitchen is already closed.
I'm very sorry, sir.
Do you know any nearby restaurants?
My manager drives me around everywhere,
and I've been on a diet lately,
so I don't know any good restaurants.
I know a place we can go.
Where…
It's dark
and secluded.
Jeez.
Only teenagers come here
to eat ramyeon and make memories over it.
I can't believe I'm doing this at my age.
Then would you be okay
if someone took a photo
of just the two of us eating at this hour?
At least you got me
the ramyeon I'm promoting.
You never watched Kang Pil-gu
or showed any interest in me,
so how did you know to get this?
It was a coincidence.
Now, go ahead and tell me.
What's the story?
Season five of Kang Pil-gu
has been confirmed.
And Gwon Se-na is joining the cast.
I guess it's good for the drama
that a global star is on board,
but the main character has been
and always will be Kang Pil-gu.
I don't want my fans to worry
that her character
will take the spotlight from mine.
Work that into the article, will you?
I'll get started on the article.
-What is it?
-What?
Do you have something to say?
No.
Well,
I'm thirsty.
So?
Do you have any water?
I don't.
Is your foot okay?
You hurt your foot
breaking the window to help me.
Wait, you remember that?
Vaguely.
It healed a long time ago.
It's fine.
So…
I have
something to say.
I'm sorry about before.
For assuming that you worked as a hostess.
I apologize for that.
Hey, say something.
I'm offering a sincere apology,
and I'm totally embarrassed.
Do I have to accept your apology?
Excuse me?
I mean,
it's only natural to accept an apology
if someone owns up to their mistake.
I didn't do anything unforgivable.
It was just a misunderstanding.
It's only natural to apologize
if you did something wrong.
But accepting the apology
is up to the other person.
Unbelievable.
I forgave you
for storming into the bathroom stall
and humiliating me
while I was taking care of business.
I even forgave you for spying on me
in my hospital room
and gave you an exclusive.
And I let you off the hook
for that article about my mom.
You know what?
After saying all that out loud,
I sound like a complete doormat!
So?
You really won't accept my apology?
Even though
I'm personally giving you an exclusive
and expressing how sorry I am?
That's right.
I don't want your apology.
Seriously?
Stop glaring at me and focus on the road!
I have every right to glare at you!
I forgot my wife's birthday today
and finally got her to forgive me
after begging for hours,
but then you called me back out!
Gil-su couldn't come
because he was drinking!
You could've called a driver
instead of your CEO!
Or you could've driven yourself!
I called you
because I have so much pent-up rage!
Jeez.
What is it now?
Did you fight again with Ms. Wi?
Who said we had a fight?
I apologized for thinking
that she worked as a hostess,
but she wouldn't accept my apology.
I bet you acted all high and mighty
and gave a lousy apology.
That's not true. I gave a sincere apology
for the first time in a while.
Onion!
What was that?
Are you on Onion?
I put something up for Seon-u, that's all.
Seriously, the things you do…
Go wash up and sleep.
How are you getting home?
I'm taking a taxi, of course.
You think I'll rent a scooter instead?
Here.
What's that?
-Your wife's birthday gift.
-What?
-What's this?
-Press the button.
It's a bribe to keep her
from divorcing you over me.
Oh, bro!
-Bro, thanks so much!
-Jeez, go away.
Gosh, would you look at that?
Holy cow, it's a luxury car!
I finally get to ride in one of these!
Jeez.
Are you home?
Are you scared?
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU 2
Damn it.
Change your clothes first.
I think I caught a cold.
You caught a cold?
That's why you need to dress warmly.
Drink some water.
Okay.
Jeez, you're such a handful.
Take two of these before you go to bed.
What a bummer.
I heard my bro Pil-gu
went on a blind date.
-A blind date?
-Yeah.
-With whom?
-How should I know?
He probably has women lining up for him.
Are you going to write about that too?
I mean, it'd be better if I wrote it
and build up my track record.
Jeez, you're really something.
Don't you regret missing out on him?
I mean, he's got the face,
the body, and the fame.
Listen.
How would you feel
if you gave someone a genuine apology,
but they refused to accept it?
Did they do something really terrible?
No, it wasn't that bad.
I'd cut ties with them, then.
Was it you who apologized,
or was it the other way around?
It was me.
I didn't accept the apology.
Why not?
Because when you accept an apology,
it makes you expect more.
That they'll treat you nicer,
or that they'll be friendlier to you.
It was never going to work out anyway,
so I figured
I'd nip that expectation in the bud.
Do you know what people call that?
Putting up walls.
If you keep putting up walls like that,
you'll live alone forever.
Whatever. I'm not taking these.
-Hey, Su-ji.
-Yes?
I've been in a bad mood
since this morning.
Again?
What do you mean "again"?
Why would someone not accept an apology?
I can't think of a good response.
It figures.
If I don't know the answer to that,
how would an AI assistant like you know?
SPORTS EUNSEONG
WI JEONG-SIN
Jeez, did I really catch a cold?
My throat hurts too.
"GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU SEASON 5
PRODUCTION CONFIRMED"
"GLOBAL STAR GWON SE-NA JOINS CAST"
I don't want your apology.
Hey, I read an article
about Gwon Se-na joining your drama.
Is it true?
Right.
So you read the article.
You couldn't stand her at all.
Are you getting back together?
Are you crazy?
I'm just keeping
work and personal life separate.
Where are you going anyway?
My friend's grandfather passed away,
so I'm going to the funeral.
But you've got an Onion deal today!
The rice cooker!
That's right.
-It's almost time.
-Jeez.
Can you go instead?
I can't go out and sell a rice cooker.
Everyone knows my face.
It's dark out.
Cover your face,
and nobody will recognize you.
-No, absolutely not.
-My friend's waiting downstairs.
Just grab it and head out, okay?
-No way! I can't do it!
-Come on, help me out!
I said no. Hey!
SEONGIL STATION
Why'd they have to pick
such a crowded place to meet?
How am I supposed to know who they are?
HEATEN PRESSURE RICE COOKER
I'm sure they'll find me on their own.
Onion!
I'LL BE THERE IN 1 MINUTE.
I'M BRINGING A HANDCART.
I'M BRINGING A HANDCART.
He's already here.
Jeez.
You're here from Onion, right?
What?
Oh, that's right. Onion.
-Is this it?
-Yes.
Oh…
I just sent you 320,000 won
through Onion Pay.
-Excuse me?
-Don't you use Onion Pay?
-Check your app.
-Oh, I see.
MELOMASTER: 320,000 WON RECEIVED
-So this is how you use it.
-And here.
I'm a fan of Lim Hyeon-jun.
Oh, thank you.
I have a whole box at home.
Have a good night.
Excuse me.
Do you like…
Lim Hyeon-jun?
Yes, I do.
It's the first time in my life.
I've never liked someone…
so unconditionally.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OH YEON-SEO
FOR HER APPEARANCE
-I'm a fan of Lim Hyeon-jun myself.
-Seriously?
I love Kang Pil-gu.
Wow, nice to meet you!
How did you find out about this place?
I haven't told anyone!
Hold on a second!
Now what?
As far as cursed connections go,
ours is the worst.
I can share some with you if you'd like.
You seem like a bigger fan than me.
I actually look a lot like Lim Hyeon-jun.
You're joking.
Want to check for yourself?
How about this Friday?
