Dynamite Kiss (2025) s01e10 Episode Script

The Reason I Like You

1
[pop music playing]
DYNAMITE KISS
[phone buzzing]
SEON-U
I'll get going then.
Let's have a meal.
You and me.
I already have plans.
Cancel them.
And stay with me.
What?
Don't go.
I don't want you to go.
[romantic pop music playing]
[tense music playing]
[music stops]
[Da-rim gasps]
Just because you think I'm easy
doesn't mean you can do this.
[stammers] Who said you were easy?
[breathes shakily]
I'm so disappointed in you.
Disappointed?
Da-rim. Hold on. Da-rim, wait.
I like you.
[slow romantic music playing]
I really like you.
I have
ever since I met you.
What are you talking about?
You can't do this.
What about Ms. Yu?
You'll be marrying her soon.
Our families
are just pushing us to be together.
We have absolutely no attraction
to each other.
[scoffs]
The person I like
is you.
Uh. Why would you like me?
-Sorry?
-You have no reason to.
[sighs]
You think I'm easy, huh?
Are you trying to get back at me
for playing with you? Is that it?
No, it's not. [breathes shakily]
I really mean it.
I'm going to pretend
that nothing happened tonight.
I'll find a new job as soon as possible.
Wait. [sighs]
-[footsteps depart]
-[sighs]
-[Seon-u] Da-rim.
-Oh.
-Hey, Seon-u.
-Let's go eat.
Uh…
I'm sorry,
but I'm just going to head home.
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
I just want to go home.
Wait, Da…
[romantic music playing]
EPISODE 10
[sighs] I saw him being all lovey-dovey
with his fiancée.
Why would he lie about that?
Damn it.
Then again,
I lied first.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
[groans]
[breathes heavily]
[tense music playing]
[exhales sharply]
[Jin-hui] This is terrible.
You've experienced
that firsthand as well, right?
Don't tell me you've also…
I've experienced it as well.
You too, Go-eun?
Of course.
[exclaims, sighs]
Look, he just won't stop.
He's a repeat offender…
[music stops]
Huh?
Look at it yourself.
The graph doesn't reflect
the text data at all. Does it?
My eyesight has been a bit fuzzy.
-My age must be catching up to me.
-Look at…
Look at this.
Look at this here.
Does that look right to you?
How many times
do I need to teach you the basics?
How are you still not getting it?
[sighing] Goodness.
You may leave.
[Nan-suk] Yes, sir.
Our families
are just pushing us to be together.
We have absolutely no attraction
to each other.
Was I mistaken?
Then…
[Ji-hyeok] I like you.
I really like you.
I have
ever since I met you.
He was telling the truth?
Even so, how would that make any sense?
He's a son of a chaebol family
who's also successful and handsome.
He's basically perfect.
Meanwhile, I have nothing at all,
with no talents to speak of,
and just a history of habitual lying.
[door opens]
There's no way he'd like me.
-[door closes]
-[footsteps approaching]
[Jin-hui] It happens to me every day.
Didn't you see me get an earful last time?
Mr. Gong can be so harsh
once he gets wound up.
[Go-eun] Yeah.
Don't let it get to you, Nan-suk.
[Nan-suk] I'm clearly at fault.
I still can't even put together
a simple document.
-Only if I could be more like you, Da-rim.
-[sighs]
Can you teach me later?
Uh…
Sure.
I'd be happy to.
I'm such a nuisance.
Why would you say that?
We all rely on you so much.
[Jin-hui] Mmm.
-Me?
-[Jin-hui] Mmm.
You've got great initiative.
Think about the live commerce.
Mr. Gong opposed it
because we lacked experience,
but we ended up doing it
because you pushed for it.
After that broadcast,
daily sales increased by ten times.
There were a few twists and turns,
but ultimately, that's how it turned out.
Everyone has their strengths
and weaknesses. Nobody's perfect.
-I dare you to prove me wrong. Mmm?
-[Jin-hui] She's right.
-You think so?
-[Jin-hui] Mmm.
Mr. Gong can be a jerk sometimes,
but we need to hang in there.
[Jin-hui] Well said.
Every company has a Mr. Gong.
Don't you agree?
[gasps] Oh, my.
Where am I, exactly?
Well, you see…
We were talking about how every company
needs someone like you.
-All recharged? Let's get back to work.
-We'll get back to work.
[Ji-hyeok] Ms. Go Da-rim.
You'll come with me to pick out
gift bags during the exhibition.
You care deeply for other people.
Sorry? That was random.
I heard you encouraging
your team members just now.
You're able to say such things
because you take an interest
and have affection for your colleagues.
I'm sure
you'll become a far greater leader
than I could ever be.
Thank you.
That's why I like you.
What?
[elevator pings]
Aren't you getting in?
We have work to do.
Right.
We do.
Oh.
How about a hand wash and hand cream set?
I think it'll be a safe choice
regardless of age.
-That sounds good.
-Mm-hmm. [sucks teeth]
I wonder how it smells. Let's test it.
[gasps]
[exclaims]
Hold on.
[slow romantic music playing]
Oh, that smells great,
and it goes on really nicely.
[exclaims]
You're proactive
and always curious.
Your willingness to check things
for yourself when you're curious
is very admirable.
Are you administering some sort of
aptitude and personality test today?
Or a performance assessment?
No.
I'm just telling you why I like you.
[frenetic theme plays]
We should check if there's enough
inventory in the warehouse.
Where was it again?
You take action.
You always take a proactive approach
to problem-solving.
That's why I like you.
Mr. Gong.
You've been acting strange
this whole time.
Is this a new form of bullying?
Drowning me in praise?
You said I had no reason to like you.
That's why I'm stating them.
My reasons.
TAEYU ART HALL EXHIBITION
PREPARATION IN PROGRESS
I think we should add more leaves
at the top.
Noted.
Okay.
In a little bit,
let's try switching out
the placement of the third photo
and those photos on the left side.
-Got it.
-Thank you.
Mr. Kim.
Why don't we take a short break?
Sure.
[sighs]
[footsteps approaching]
Are you waiting to hear from Ms. Go?
[clears throat]
Are you just going to keep being anxious?
I'm not anxious.
I told her how I felt.
No way. Really?
[exclaims] Good for you!
Just you wait.
You'll hear good news soon.
Good news?
Yes.
Rejection.
[scoffs]
Is that considered good news?
Of course.
Just look at the state you're in now.
You're suffering all alone,
unable to do anything.
This handsome face
is growing older by the day.
It's much better
to just confess your feelings,
be flat-out rejected,
and give your mind a reset,
so you can come to me.
Just get shot down if it's inevitable
and claim your new path in life.
Well,
there's a chance
she might not reject me.
Come on now.
I thought she was your friend.
Don't you know her better than that?
She didn't strike me
as the intellectual type.
Da-rim's smart.
Yeah? Well, if she were so smart
and had such a discerning eye for men,
would she have overlooked you
all this time?
Only someone like me
would immediately recognize your worth.
[sighs]
Excuse me, Ms. Lee.
Are you done with the scissors?
Thank you.
There's something
I've wanted to ask you for a long time.
What do the tattoos on your arm mean?
My dad is the boss
of the Yongho Gang in Bulgye-dong.
It's the gang's symbol,
so I got them done in middle school.
He's the boss?
[chuckles] I see.
[chuckles]
Ma'am.
[stammers] I mean, Ms. Lee.
Please let me apologize in advance
if I ever made you uncomfortable
during your time here.
-I was kidding. [chuckles]
-What?
I burned myself while making
instant noodles a long time ago.
I thought they'd scare Ji-yu,
so I covered them with tattoos.
Oh, that's what they are?
Ji-yu loves dragons and tigers.
I even do puppet shows with them.
"I won't eat you
if you give me a rice cake."
-I guess your son is--
-Daughter.
I guess your daughter takes after you.
[laughs]
I appreciate you asking.
-Pardon?
-You're the first person
to ask about them.
Everyone notices them but pretends not to.
All they see is a young mom with tattoos,
so they never seem interested
in getting to know me.
Don't be silly.
I only asked
because I thought it was a bit strange
to see someone cute like you
with such tattoos.
So I thought there must be
some sort of meaningful story behind them.
-I'm cute?
-Of course.
That's not all.
You're cool and smart.
And so much more.
[chuckles]
I should finish this.
KANGKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
[Ji-hyeok] Why stay at a friend's place
instead of mine?
You haven't even known her that long.
She's someone I can trust.
I wouldn't be going through
with this divorce if it wasn't for her.
How about you stay at a hotel?
I'll book you the best one.
I'll only be anxious in a hotel
or at your place.
People will recognize me in no time.
Just tell your father
that I'm traveling abroad.
But it'll still be uncomfortable. Hmm?
Someone as sensitive as you
will only get hurt. This won't do.
[clicks tongue]
Mom, I'll just book you a hotel…
Mom!
Are you sure you told her
to meet you here?
What's taking her so long?
This is the spot.
I'm sorry.
We're a bit late, aren't we?
No worries. We also just got here.
[chuckling]
[Ji-hyeok] Mom!
Wait, Mom. [panting]
Hold on a second.
-Da-rim.
-Yeah?
Isn't he your team leader?
Yeah, he is.
Mom.
Is this the friend you're staying with?
Yeah, she is.
[Myeong-sun] My goodness.
[mouthing in English] Yes!
[Myeong-sun, in Korean]
I can't believe this.
What are the chances?
It's nice to see you again.
I'm glad to see that you've recovered
so quickly, Mother. [chuckles]
"Mother"?
Oh, does your daughter
work for our company?
-Yes.
-My goodness.
[Myeong-sun] I had no idea
she was working at your company.
[In-ae] What a coincidence.
-This is Da-rim?
-Yes.
I've heard so much about you.
Are you sure you won't feel uncomfortable
with me staying over?
I'm worried our place might be too shabby.
I just hope
you won't be too uncomfortable.
[breathes heavily]
There's no way she'd be.
My mother isn't that sensitive a person.
She'll find it much more comfortable
to stay with a friend
than in a hotel alone. [laughs]
All right, shall we go?
[Seon-u] Welcome back.
Hey.
My baby, look at how much you've grown.
-Say hello.
-Hello.
How adorable. Is he your grandson?
That's his son. He's Da-rim's friend.
He lives upstairs.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Kim Seon-u.
Nice to meet you.
There they are.
-You're back.
-Hey, Seon-u.
Please excuse me.
Mr. Gong?
What are you doing here?
[Ji-hyeok] Oh.
It seems my mother and Da-rim's mother
have become inseparable best friends.
So here I am.
Right.
I see.
My goodness.
Seon-u, you made all this by yourself?
No, Jun helped me.
-Right?
-Yes.
Enjoy, Grandma.
Thank you so much.
I'll be sure to enjoy it.
My goodness. Let's dig in.
I don't even know where to start.
[bell dings]
I wonder what this is.
[Seon-u] Ma'am, have some meat.
[gasps, chuckles] Thank you.
That looks delicious.
You're the best.
[Myeong-sun] Mmm. Let's taste it.
-Mom. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]
Have some meat.
Be sure to have
some Pyogo mushrooms and anchovies too.
They're good for healing bones.
Thank you.
-Mmm.
-[gasps]
It's delicious.
The stir-fried glass noodles
are seasoned perfectly.
I'm glad you like it.
You're so polite, and you're a great cook.
You don't see
a lot of young men like him nowadays.
Absolutely.
He's the perfect husband material.
He's such a good father too.
-I'd love to have him as my son-in-law.
-[Seon-u chuckles]
[Ji-hyeok] Here, have some fruit.
[chuckles]
[groans] Why is it so hot?
Slowly.
[Da-rim] Be careful.
Should I do it?
-That looks good.
-[Myeong-sun] My goodness.
You even removed the seeds from the kiwi.
There's one more.
[humming]
Hold on.
Where are you going?
You said you'd do it by yourself.
But can't you keep me company? I'm bored.
Come on. How can you be bored
when you're doing the dishes?
Then can you brush my hair aside for me?
They keep poking my eyes.
[groans] Right here. Right above my eyes.
Okay, one second.
[romantic music playing]
Da-rim.
Do you know how pretty you are?
What? [stammers]
What's with you again?
That's another reason I like you.
You're pretty.
I just thought you should know.
How can you say things like that out loud?
-What if someone hears you?
-Who cares?
How can you not care?
They could get the wrong idea.
There's no one around.
[Da-rim] Uh-uh. Sorry.
[chuckling] Move aside.
Lower your voice. What's wrong with you?
-You're just really pretty.
-Be quiet, seriously!
-There's no one around.
-Yes, there is!
Why isn't he leaving?
It's so late.
[Ji-hyeok] I can throw them out.
[Da-rim] Just let me take one.
-[Ji-hyeok] Don't worry. I'm strong.
-[Da-rim] Wait. Just let me.
-Wait.
-Why those two…
-[Ji-hyeok] I told you I'd do it.
-Stop. Hold on.
You don't have to do all this.
It's my duty as a son.
You're doing my mother a favor.
This is the least I could do.
[pants]
Ah.
It's getting late. You should head home.
-[scoffs]
-I can take care of this.
Give it. I'll do it.
Wait…
No. I'll do it.
I'll do it.
-I'll do it.
-Hold on.
Wait. Stop.
I'll do it…
[Da-rim screams]
[panting]
[Da-rim chuckles]
-What are we going to do now?
-Hold on.
I guess they were separated.
These are all cans.
Someone just had to rip the bag.
Oh, right. Light bulb.
-What?
-Do you have an extra at your place?
I don't think I have
any spare light bulbs.
I can just go buy one now.
I'll get you the brightest one
while I'm at it.
It's too dark in there.
-I'll go buy it.
-What?
I'll get you the brightest one.
-Okay!
-Wait, Mr. Gong!
-You don't…
-I was going to get it.
[ethereal music playing]
[sighs] All done.
-Oh…
-[Ji-hyeok grunts]
-[chuckling]
-The lights are all set. [chuckles]
-Nice and bright, right? [chuckles]
-[mouthing words]
Who hangs something like that
in a bathroom? [chuckles]
[Myeong-sun] I know, right?
It's like a department store.
That's going to use up more electricity
than the fridge.
[laughs]
-[Da-rim] Go. Hurry.
-Hold on a second.
It's not that I don't want to leave.
My mother's staying here,
and I have a duty as a son to--
There's no room for you to sleep in.
Go home and sleep comfortably.
-Mom!
-Wait.
-Should I leave?
-[sighs]
-[phone buzzing]
-She says no.
Pick up your phone.
Ugh.
What is it?
YONGHO COIN LAUNDRY SHOP
What a witty illustration.
[laughs]
-So cute.
-Hey.
-So adorable.
-Hey!
You're here. [sighs]
What has you so distracted?
Who calls for advice at this hour?
I was in the middle
of something important.
Ji-hyeok.
You know that woman you met in Jeju?
Yeah, what about her?
-Are you going to pursue her?
-What? You're strongly against it?
Mm-mmm.
Do what your heart tells you.
When it comes to love,
your head will come up
with dozens of reasons to object,
but once the heartstrings are pulled,
you're helpless.
Like these guys.
Once you press the start button,
you can't stop in the middle.
Not until they go through the cycles
and stop on their own.
Do you have a crush on someone?
I think so.
Why is your head telling you no?
Well,
she works at our company.
I know you're against office romances.
What's wrong with an office romance?
I think it's great.
You do?
Of course.
Hey, when you work closely with someone,
it's only natural for friendship to form
and feelings to develop.
That's not something that can be stopped.
No, it certainly can't be stopped.
[laughs]
I just don't know what to do,
seeing the most adorable and pretty woman
in front of me all the time.
Hold on. [in English] Stop.
[in Korean]
"The most adorable and pretty woman"?
-Yes.
-By any chance…
Yes.
-Go…
-Go?
-Go.
-Go?
-Go.
-Go?
Go-- [grunting]
No, absolutely not.
You can't go for her!
Why not?
You just said it was okay.
Is it because Go-eun is on our team?
[stammers]
You were talking about Go-eun?
Yeah.
So it was Go-eun.
-She's great. You'd make a cute couple.
-[machine beeping]
Your laundry is done.
Take it out.
What's wrong with him?
MARKET AND COMPETITION
ANALYSIS REPOR
[Ma] I'm so sorry, ma'am.
I didn't mean to tell him.
He made it sound like
he had already talked it over with you.
So you're saying he poked you once
and you just gave it all away
without a second thought, right?
[sighs] Mr. Ma.
I gave you that job because you were
perceptive despite being incompetent,
but if you keep disappointing me
like this,
-you leave me no choice but to--
-Ma'am, please forgive me.
I swear this will never happen again.
I swear on my and my family's honor
that something like this
will never happen again.
I'll make sure of it.
[scoffs]
Who cares about family?
You don't need to be on your knees.
Just sit down.
Yes, ma'am.
I realized this time
how cunning and sly that Yu Tae-yeong is.
You should stop associating with him.
Let's stick together and…
-[phone buzzing]
-[stammers, sighs]
It's as if he knows
we're talking about him.
Look at him calling.
You may leave.
YU TAE-YEONG
They were so playful.
They had so much fun together.
-[chuckling] Look at Da-rim.
-[chuckles]
This is when Da-rim
went to Jirisan in elementary school.
She was whining about her legs hurting,
so her dad carried her
all the way to the top.
To the top of the mountain?
-My goodness.
-[chuckles]
[Myeong-sun] Look at this.
Every birthday, our house used to be
covered in whipped cream.
Your family looks so happy.
[chuckles] My husband was a taxi driver.
[sucks teeth] They didn't get
the most affluent upbringing,
but he took them on countless road trips
across the country for sightseeing
on his days off. [chuckles]
[door opens, closes]
[sighs] Our family got along really well.
-This is Da-rim again. [laughs]
-[Ji-hyeok laughs]
What are you all looking at?
[screams] Mom!
Why would you show them this?
I was showing them
because In-ae was curious.
This is basically a collection
of my most embarrassing moments.
No, it's not. You were adorable.
I should've taken Ji-hyeok
on outings and trips
when he was a kid.
But I couldn't
because I was always in the hospital.
Why would you say that?
Why don't we go on an outing now?
The weather's so nice.
Now?
Yes.
We just need to pack some food
and a picnic blanket.
[gasps] How does that sound?
What do you say?
-I'm in.
-[Da-rim] You're in.
-[Myeong-sun] Let's go. [chuckles]
-All right.
-Great.
-This is going to be so fun.
Let's do it.
What a pretty park.
Did you really build it?
It wasn't me. Our company did.
If it wasn't for you,
they would've never built it,
so it's only right that you take credit.
[sighs]
I'm going to start coming here often.
-Then, I'll--
-I will!
I'll bring you here often.
They say walking in nature like this
is excellent for your health.
As expected, you're the only one
who truly cares about me, Seon-u.
[exclaims, chuckles]
Hey.
Doesn't Jun need to go to academies?
I heard kids are really busy nowadays.
Even day cares are closed on Sundays.
Everyone. You must all be thirsty.
-I'll--
-I'll go get some drinks!
[chuckles]
You can go ahead
and relax under that tree over there.
I'll be back with some drinks soon.
Where? That tree?
Yes, under that tree right there.
No, hold on.
I'll get the drinks.
I'll get them.
It's our park,
so it's only right that I buy them.
Do you even know
what Da-rim's mother likes?
The one who knows should get them.
[dog growling sound effect]
Uh! Don't fight.
Why don't you play a game for it?
The winner gets to go.
[Da-rim] Two to two.
Kim Seon-u's serve.
Um…
[Myeong-sun] What's gotten into them?
Are they training for the Olympics?
[In-ae] Tell me about it.
[yells]
-[exclaims]
-[song ends]
Whoo! [panting]
[upbeat music plays]
[Seon-u] Excuse me.
It's my serve.
-Hand it over.
-It was out. It's my serve.
It was in. It was inside the line.
It was out. Don't play dirty.
It was in. It's my serve!
It was out. It's my serve!
-In!
-Out!
[Seon-u] Ta-da!
Cinnamon punch and rice punch
for the mothers.
And banana milk for Jun.
Herbal tea for you, right?
-Yeah. [in English] Thank you.
-[in Korean] No problem.
Ji-hyeok. Don't you want a drink?
I'm not thirsty.
Are you sure? Your lips look very dry.
Oh, you know,
Ji-hyeok is really good at sports too.
He even won a tae kwon do competition
when he was a kid.
[both] Oh.
Wow, he did?
That reminds me.
Seon-u competed in
all sorts of competitions as well.
He was on the badminton team
in middle school.
-I believe he placed third in nationals.
-[Seon-u groans]
Second.
-Yeah, you placed second.
-Oh, right.
[scoffs] Seriously?
You were a former athlete?
How could a former athlete
go all out against an amateur?
You don't have any manners, do you?
How unbelievable.
I would've totally won
if we had done tae kwon do.
-[clicks tongue]
-Of course. [chuckles]
Your wife went on a trip?
[chuckles] I thought
she was still recovering.
That's why she went to Switzerland
to recuperate.
[clears throat]
Does she not want her son to get married?
[chuckles] I mean, we're in no rush.
I sincerely apologize for everything.
[stammers] We'll set a date
as soon as my wife returns.
[groans] This is making me rather anxious.
What are you going to do
about Ji-hyeok's position?
Surely you won't let him get married
with just a team leader title.
Of course not.
He'll be promoted to vice president soon.
Don't worry. [chuckles]
Father.
Vice president?
The board members will strongly oppose
such a sudden promotion.
Who would dare oppose me
when I'm trying to properly train my son?
He's going to do great things,
so his title should reflect that.
Your father's right.
Yes.
[footsteps approaching]
[Tae-yeong] Mmm.
You said you'd help me stop
Ji-hyeok and Ha-yeong's wedding.
First, I need to know why.
How could you go straight into work talk
without any small talk first?
I even ordered single malt, your favorite.
Neat, right?
[sighs]
-[gasps]
-Gutsy. [chuckles]
So tell me.
What are you thinking?
Money.
I'm just trying to make some money.
What else?
I'm a single-minded guy.
Breaking off the marriage
is just a side thing.
Natural BeBe.
I'll make sure it becomes yours.
How?
Gong Chang-ho. Gong Ji-hyeok.
We just have to push both of them out.
[chuckles]
So how, exactly?
I'm actually one of Natural BeBe's
major shareholders.
What? You are?
Recently, your company carried out
a paid-in capital increase
to secure funds for overseas expansion.
I bought all of it.
[scoffs]
If we pool our shares,
it should be about the same
as Chairman Gong's.
[sighs] No.
That won't be enough.
A motion to dismiss the chairman could be
brought to the shareholders' meeting,
but to make it pass,
we'd also need votes
from the minority shareholders.
But why would they go out of their way
to change leadership?
That's why your role is important.
For ten years, you've been the successor
who handled the actual operations
and the one who knows…
all about Chairman Gong's weaknesses.
Are you telling me
to go against my father?
Publicly, at that?
Then I'll…
No. We, the investors,
will appoint you the new CEO,
and in exchange,
all you need to do
is provide our fund a generous dividend.
What about your father?
Do you think
he'll just sit back and watch?
[chuckles]
My father's even more single-minded
than I am.
Nothing else matters
as long as he makes money.
He can marry off Ha-yeong
to another family.
This will probably make him happier.
Ah.
That does make sense.
But how can I trust you?
Why? Do you think I'm messing with you?
Mmm.
Then,
I guess
I have to show you I'm serious.
Soon.
[Jun] Wow, this looks so good.
[Myeong-sun] He ordered so much.
[chuckles]
You're the best, mister!
Eat up.
But, Jun,
you should just call me Ji-hyeok.
Huh?
Okay.
Having him call you by your name
is a bit of a stretch, no?
Jun, just call him Uncle Ji-hyeok.
Why?
You can call handsome guys
by their names, okay?
I don't think you're handsome enough
to call yourself that.
So you do find me handsome.
No, that's not exactly what I meant.
-Ma'am.
-Yeah?
Can you pour me a drink?
Of course, we need to have a drink
on a day like this.
We can't,
so you should drink on our behalf.
Just leave it to me.
[Myeong-sun] Wow.
You should drink slowly.
Ah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?
-Are you?
-It's nice and sweet.
[Myeong-sun] Just watching him drink
is lifting my spirits. [chuckles]
-Can you pour me one as well?
-Wait.
-In that glass?
-Yes.
I'll drink on your behalf.
[glass filling]
[exclaims] How exciting.
CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE STATUS
NAME: KIM IN-AE
CERTIFICATE OF FAMILY RELATIONS
NAME: KIM IN-AE
[knocks on door]
Come in.
[chuckles] I could've gotten it myself.
Thank you.
Uh, that's a lot of medicine.
Ah.
There are sleeping pills
and some psychiatric medication as well.
I see.
Could you keep me company for a bit?
That's why I stopped that marriage.
I wanted Ji-hyeok
to live a happy life
with the person he loves.
I had no idea
that Mr. Gong had such a past.
It's been such a long time
since I've seen Ji-hyeok
whining and showing off like a kid.
He had no choice
but to grow up quickly because of me.
He's always been mature
and swallowed all his feelings.
He's mature?
Why?
I guess he acts quite differently
when he's around you.
No, it's just that
I can easily see
what he's feeling in the moment.
Sometimes, he actually seems to
display his feelings on purpose.
It must be because he's attracted
to your bright energy.
I'm not bright at all.
I can't even see two steps ahead.
[gentle instrumental music plays]
The bright energy
of someone who grew up
with a loving family like yours
emanates from within.
You might not see it,
but it's crystal clear
to someone like me or Ji-hyeok
who has been hurt by love.
The strong and warm energy.
That's why whenever we come across it,
we can't help but admire it
and be drawn to it.
I hope you'll continue
to get along well with Ji-hyeok.
Gosh, here you are working your tail off,
while I'm living in the lap of luxury.
Oh, is In-ae sleeping?
Not yet.
She was looking at some documents.
She's been through a lot as well.
I don't know how she survived
all those years.
[chuckles] But you know,
she did such a good job raising her son.
He's so handsome.
He's just like your dad when he was young.
Mom.
What did Dad say to you
when he told you that he liked you?
Why? Did someone say they like you?
No, it's just a thought that popped up
when we were looking
at the photo album earlier.
When someone tells you that they like you,
is there a way to tell
whether they're being genuine or not?
What a silly thing to wonder.
[inhales deeply] Mmm.
Your dad never confessed
his feelings for me.
Really?
Then how did you start dating?
He just kept showing up.
He never once asked me out,
but whenever I found myself in trouble,
he would just show up out of nowhere
and help me out.
As that kept happening,
I just came to realize it.
"He likes me."
I see.
To figure someone out, watch how they act,
not what they say.
Then you'll know
whether they're being genuine or not.
[gentle music continues]
[Ji-hyeok groans]
[hums] It's warm.
Watch how they act?
Go Da-rim!
Come out!
[gentle music continues]
Thank goodness.
[gasping]
Liver, pancreas, lungs.
-[gasps]
-Which should we sell first?
[door breaks]
[Ji-hyeok] Let me buy them off you.
Do you take credit?
LOVE PORRIDGE
What's this?
I'm allergic to abalones,
but I couldn't waste perfectly good food.
They were half price
at the shop out front.
Just the ginger tea.
You said you had gastritis.
I need to have a drink on a day like this.
[Ji-hyeok] Then you should
at least eat something first.
You always mess up,
get hurt, and fall ill.
Can't you get your act together?
Are you feeling sick?
["Say You Love Me" playing]
Ms. Go Da-rim?
Da-rim. Ms. Go.
Da-rim.
Da-rim.
[Myeong-sun] To figure someone out,
watch how they act,
not what they say.
That's why I like you.
I'm still in love with you ♪

A GREEN FUTURE WE DRAW TOGETHER
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
[Seon-u] In this section,
we combined purple
and light blue butterflies
to portray the harmony of nature.
We focused on how their expressions
changed depending on the environment.
[Jin-hui] You can use this to take them.
-Enjoy.
-[attendee 1] Thank you.
-You can use this.
-[attendee 2] Thanks.
Enjoy.
Thank you for coming.
Enjoy.
Hello, please take this with you.
Please take one.
Thank you for coming.
-Here you go.
-[attendee 3] I enjoyed the exhibition.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Here you go.
Enjoy the exhibition. Thank you.
Here you go.
Enjoy the exhibition. Thank you.
[attendee 4] It's so nice to see you
working on such a big project together
before you walk down the aisle.
Ji-hyeok has been such a huge help.
[Ji-hyeok] Thank you for your kind words.
[attendee 5] I was worried
because I didn't recognize
the photographer's name,
but his pieces are great.
[Ha-yeong] Aren't they?
His name is Kim Seon-u.
-He's a hidden gem I discovered.
-Hello.
-I'll set up a meeting later.
-Thank you.
[attendee 5] Let's go.
You're putting your heart and soul
into promoting Kim Seon-u.
Of course.
A great example
of being a supportive partner.
How nice.
-[attendee 6, in English] Something…
-[attendee 7, in Korean] Yes. [chuckles]
[attendees chattering, laughing]
[Nan-suk] Da-rim, come here.
-Okay. Coming.
-[Go-eun] Hurry.
Just a moment.
[suspenseful music plays]
[dings]
[suspenseful music plays]
We thought you'd be better than us.
I mean, I learned English at school, but…
[in English] May I help you?
[cheering]
Were all these works shot only in Korea?
I'm just so curious about the locations.
Also, do you have any interest
in shooting overseas
for your next exhibition?
Location?
[in Korean] Oh, the place
where we took the photos.
Well… Gangwon-do?
-Gangwon-do.
-Right.
Sokcho is… [in English] Delicious food.
-Korean traditional delicious food.
-[in Korean] My goodness.
Look at those ignorant stay-at-home moms.
Should I just get rid of them?
Why would you?
They're doing so well.
The more ignorant they are, the better.
The chairman could hear about it.
[both chuckle]
What are we going to do about this?
[in English] Thank you
for your special interest.
These photos were taken
at different locations.
I'll be happy to walk you through.
Oh, thank you.
Come on, honey. He knows his stuff.
-Thank you.
-Oh, thank you.
Have a good time.
[in Korean]
How is he even good at English?
I just want to clarify
that my going around with Ha-yeong today
is strictly all for business.
Why would you tell me that?
So you don't get the wrong idea
like last time.
It's awkward for me too, okay?
I'm just trying to get through it.
Geez.
-Give it to me.
-No, I can do it.
I'll do it.
-Are you okay?
-I'm sorry.
Please sit. I'll take care of it.
You didn't seem awkward at all.
Even your outfits are matching,
you were linking arms
all tightly and whatnot,
and it seemed like
you couldn't take your eyes off of her.
That's because I'm a good actor.
I don't think that's what it is.
It just looked like you two
were very close and being very sweet.
But I mean, sure, I understand.
Of course. You're acting.
[Ha-yeong] Ji-hyeok.
You should go take care of your business.
I'm also busy with my business.
Yeah, I'm coming.

[titters]
I'm sorry.
They don't want to play the game either,
so we'll just leave.
If you don't mind,
we can look after them
while you go on the docent tour.
Are you sure?
-Of course.
-Sure.
-Let's go play outside.
-Come on.
-It's all right.
-Follow us.
-Let's have some fun outside.
-Thank you for your understanding.
All right, I'll start walking you
through the pieces in the exhibition.
Whoa.
-Whoa.
-Hello!
We're the dinosaur family.
Do you want to guess what I am?
Do you know what I am?
-Brachiosaurus.
-Brachiosaurus.
[Nan-suk] You're so smart.
Then what about this one?
-[child] Tyrannosaurus.
-[Nan-suk] Correct!
Thank you so much.
I got to enjoy the exhibition
thanks to you.
I went back to work three months
after my kids were born,
so I can barely play with them.
[chuckles] You're so amazing.
Not at all.
After raising three kids,
it just comes naturally
without even trying.
-Thank you.
-Mommy!
-Yeah, Seo-yeon?
-Oh, no.
[mother] Seo-yeon,
you should've been careful.
-I'm sorry.
-Oh, gosh.
No worries. It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Stuff happens.
-Let me pay for dry--
-No, that won't be necessary.
Are you sure?
I'll go wash this off.
[in English] Okay.
[in Korean] Bye. [in English] High five!
Yeah!

We've only been causing trouble.

He's a very kind man. [chuckles]
