Love Your Enemy (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

LOVE YOUR ENEMY
THE CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS,
AND PLACES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL
What a moron.
What a jerk.
He thinks he's so cool.
She's crazy.
Just three months?
And it ended like that?
What is the meaning of this?
What do you think you're playing at?
Let's go inside.
I just told you.
I'm moving into school housing.
Stop messing around and just go.
Why ever would you think this makes sense?
You tell me why it doesn't.
Tell me why he's allowed, but I'm not.
Well, Mr. Gong…
-Lives far away--
-So do I.
-And he comes here every day.
-So will I from now on.
And he doesn't have a car.
Whew, the driving has been killing me.
Now look here. You and I…
You and I…
What about you and I?
We dated briefly 18 years ago
for just 3 months.
And it ended like that.
-No?
-Sorry?
So, unless you still have
feelings for me--
Do you think I'm crazy?
Exactly. Unless you're crazy,
please move out of the way.
So this school employee, who lives
far away, can enter the school housing.
Just move.
He seriously must be out of his mind.
I'm sorry to impose.
Technically, this place is yours
as much as ours.
Grandpa!
Shall I take the room on the second floor?
Sure.
But we only knew about Munsu coming,
so we only cleared one room.
Then I guess it goes to
whoever calls dibs.
The other person gets what's left.
Huh? You can't do that!
That's so childish.
Move out of the way.
I have the power!
After all that, he still lost to Munsu?
Munsu is as fast as lightning.
That's not the issue right now.
Are you really okay with him living here?
All that nonsense about
"This place is yours as much as ours."
Were you trying to remind him?
Do you really not know why he's moving in?
Well… It has nothing to do with me!
It's because of me.
Huh?
He's in charge of the golf course.
And going forward, he'll have more
to do down here than up in Seoul.
He's probably using this as an excuse
to keep an eye on me.
Right? That's probably it, right?
Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer.
So, just do your best to welcome him.
What are you staring at so intently?
This car is so cool.
My son chose it for me.
It might be old,
but it still runs like a charm.
Although it was better in its heyday.
-Splish! Splash!
-Hey!
You're dead meat!
That's not fair! No hose!
That's not fair!
-That's really not fair!
-Stop it!
No! Oh, come on!
Stop it!
Hey!
Munsu!
It's not fair! You have a hose!
I'm going to kill you!
That's not fair.
Stop it.
Let's see who wins.
Wait a minute.
You started it.
All I did was splash you with my hand.
I'm sorry.
There you go.
Shall I fetch you a sweat suit?
It's the official uniform for this house.
Yes, please.
Okay, let's go in.
What shall we make for dinner?
How about bossam?
Oh, with geotjeori? And makgeolli?
-Great!
-Great!
Then I'll pop to the supermarket.
I'll just get changed,
and then I'll dash off.
You don't know the way. I'll go.
I can use a map.
Let's decide fairly
with rock, paper, scissors.
Loser goes to the supermarket.
Winners start preparing dinner, okay?
Good.
Right, here we go.
Rock, paper…
-Scissors!
-Scissors!
Oh no, we've lost.
Ms. Yun and me.
What a shame.
Dear me.
Hello.
-Off somewhere?
-To the supermarket.
Okay.
I told you I'd go by myself.
I'm just following the rules.
When did you ever worry about that?
Huh? What did you just say?
What do you think?
Take it easy, don't sweat the small stuff.
Stop fussing over the details.
Leave well enough alone.
Aren't those the words you lived by?
Moreover, you mocked people
who live by the rules.
Oh, that?
You can't do this. You can't do that.
That's not possible. No means no.
Working with someone who's a stickler
for the rules and challenges everything
put me through the wringer.
-So, you're blaming me?
-I didn't specify who.
-What now?
-I guess people never really change.
You used to make fun of people
all the time.
So you constantly
got the crap beaten out of you.
And you'd come running to me in tears.
Remember?
I didn't get the crap beaten out of me…
Wow, she never lets me finish.
Let's get things straight.
I wasn't beaten up, I was in a fight.
But you can't deny you ended up in tears.
From yawning.
Besides, that was back in grade school.
What? It was in May
of our first year of middle school.
After you got a bloody nose
playing soccer with Kang Dongju.
You bawled your eyes out
all the way back to the classroom.
You do pick
the strangest things to remember.
You always spend ages agonizing,
only to get the almond ones.
Huh? I can't believe you still do that.
Why can't you be more careful?
Ta-da!
Wow, Munsu.
Did you do all this by yourself?
Just a little something
to celebrate moving in.
After saying we'd do it together.
He wouldn't even let me in the kitchen.
I was fine by myself.
Dig in, everyone.
Mr. Chairman,
do you like soybean paste stew?
Brace yourself and dig in.
It's really tasty.
Thank you.
I must admit I do prefer kimchi stew.
How is it? Isn't it delicious?
Yes, well, I guess it's not too bad.
-Dig in, Grandpa.
-Eat up.
You'll wear out the bottom of the bowl.
Kimchi stew will be getting jealous.
Thanks for dinner.
You're welcome.
So, when it comes to dating,
you're not fussed
about how old your partner is?
Of course not.
Even someone seven years older than you?
Oh, that's perfect.
Really? That's great.
Will you give it a rest?
Perfect? Who's he trying to kid?
What's wrong with that?
I mean, would you like a kid
seven years younger than you?
He's not a kid, he's a fully-grown adult.
And what's wrong with dating someone
seven years younger?
I'm fine with a seven-year age gap
up or down.
Anything is fine
except someone my own age.
All that fuss about me being childish.
Who does she think she is?
Who's "she"?
No one, I'm just talking to myself.
-They're not too tense.
-Really?
That feels nice.
-Isn't that relaxing?
-Right there, just a bit lower.
-Here?
-Yes, just a bit lower.
That's it.
-Doesn't that feel nice?
-Yes. Just a bit lower.
-Here?
-Yes, right there.
That feels great.
It's a bit worn down.
Of course it is.
This house is more than 60 years old…
Okay.
What was that? What's going on?
I think he's trying to earn his keep.
There we go.
I think that should do it.
-Would you try turning the light on?
-Okay.
Wow, there's nothing you can't do.
-It's nothing.
-Thank you.
It's nice to be able to see again.
Oh, Munsu, would you mind
clearing this up?
You startled me.
A saw?
What's wrong with you?
Why make kimchi out of the blue like that?
You'll end up with housewife's eczema
at this rate.
Well, you see…
You know how things are.
MEDICATED BANDAGE
Damn it.
Geez.
What's up with him?
What's this?
Will you stick that here?
I've spent 20 minutes
and wasted 10 bandages.
Here.
Dear me. Why do all that stuff
that nobody asked you to do?
If you don't know, don't say anything.
Please just stick it on.
-Here?
-A little bit higher.
-Here?
-No, a bit to the right.
Damn it. Where are you talking about?
Just a bit higher.
Yes, that's it.
-Yes.
-Right here?
What do you think you're doing?
In the future, just ask me.
After all, I'm right next door.
Get well soon!
-Unbelievable!
-He's crazy.
So you're saying
they've both moved in with you?
Seok Jiwon really is crazy.
-Out of his mind.
-What is he thinking?
He's not.
Is your grandfather okay with it?
What about you?
I'm sure he hates it.
But if you want to split hairs,
the house is his.
Where are you going?
I'm going to go home and pack.
You've room for one more, right?
There are no empty rooms.
None?
That's even better.
Today?
YANGSO ACADEMY AUDIT REPOR
2020-23
Excuse me, may I ask why you want to see
the foundation's financial statements?
Since I'm in charge,
I thought I should know the full history,
not just the overall situation.
How, when, and why things got so bad
that selling the foundation
was the only option.
I see.
Are you really staying
in the school housing?
Yes, I think I will have
a lot to take care of here.
If you'd mentioned something, I would have
found you somewhere nice to live.
The staff housing is sufficient.
-Still, if your father finds out--
-It can't be helped.
It seems like you have
a special relationship with my father.
You seem to care a lot
about what he thinks.
Not at all. That's just my job.
Still…
Whose side are you on?
-Sorry?
-Regarding the golf course.
It looks like the townspeople
are fairly evenly split.
Oh, the golf course?
Well, I'm just…
Notwithstanding your relationship
with my father or the previous chairman,
I'm curious where you stand
as a resident of this town.
This is my hometown.
I'd hate to see Mt. Dokmok being ruined.
That's why those who oppose
the development do so.
After all, it is an ecologically
important mountain.
However, since you're promising
to preserve as much as possible…
Is that what my father said?
I'd better go and see for myself.
Even though I grew up around here,
apart from a few picnics when I was young,
I've never paid much attention.
Sure.
When you decide to go,
be sure to let me know.
The path up Mt. Dokmok is pretty safe.
But once you get up there,
it gets steep all of a sudden,
and there are cliffs,
so it can be dangerous.
Okay.
Let's watch what we're doing, okay?
I only took the file
from the kitchen by mistake
because you took the file
I left on the coffee table.
Why did you buy the same color folder?
I bought this a year ago.
I bought mine three years ago.
It's so old.
It's about time you changed it.
You've got an answer for everything.
I can't help having a way with words.
Not just words.
I'm good at just about everything.
You really are shameless.
What's for dinner?
Do you think it's a bed and breakfast?
Sort yourself out.
Tell that guy whose only use is cooking,
to whip up some soybean paste stew.
They're at it again.
He's smiling?
I cannot believe it.
Why am I smiling?
Pull yourself together.
I must be going crazy.
Jihye, I'm off to class.
What do you think?
Can we get the support together?
I'm doing my best to contact people.
Seeing how his son moved
into the school housing,
it seems like things are about
to start moving with the golf course.
We need to get as many people as possible
to start making some noise
so they'll at least make
a pretense of flinching.
I will keep trying
to get people's support.
You do as much as you can
to get people to turn out tomorrow.
-I will, Father.
-Okay.
Dear me.
I can…
Oh, found it.
I thought I might have left a book here,
and here it is.
MT. DOKMOK WHITE PAPER
I wrote it myself.
This mountain
that your father's lust for revenge
is driving him to destroy,
see what's so special about it.
If you look at page 67,
you can see information
about the habitat
of the endangered cymbidium orchid.
That's the highlight.
Even if we try and transplant them
elsewhere, they're almost certain to die.
Don't stand there gazing out the window.
Take your time to read through it.
I certainly will.
Okay.
I'll see you at home then.
MT. DOKMOK WHITE PAPER
-Ms. Yun.
-Yes?
-Are you heading home?
-Yes.
-What shall we have for dinner?
-What indeed?
How about my stew?
Great.
So, those three are living together?
Along with the former chairman.
I mean it is school housing, so why not?
No.
Whichever you look at it…
That's love. A hopeless love triangle.
But the chairman and Jiwon
are not in that kind of situation.
The more happenstance and reality contrive
to interfere, the more love blooms.
But if Mr. Gong sees Ms. Yun
as a mentor and foll--
Follows her until admiration
becomes adulation, then all hope is lost.
A dopamine rush.
Hey, you little brat.
How dare you butt in
when teachers are speaking of love?
I mean we were talking…
-What rushes where?
-Dopamine.
Stop being nosy. Get out of here.
Go.
What on earth…
Honestly…
I hope you're not making
the stock from scratch.
Quit whining, it's almost ready.
He should stick to what he knows.
Why is he suddenly doing the cooking?
He claims he's good at everything.
-Wow.
-Oh, Mr. Chairman.
Looks great.
It's sweet.
Literally sweet.
Dude, the stew is sweet.
Huh? That's not possible.
I followed the recipe to the letter.
Did you put any sugar in?
"If you're using sour kimchi,
add a spoonful of sugar
to neutralize the sourness."
Which spoon did you use?
Right, who wants a burger?
He's really stubborn.
He takes after his father in that respect.
You've got some on your mouth.
-Here?
-Just a moment.
-There we go.
-Thank you.
Ow, that's hot!
So, what shall we have
for dinner tomorrow?
A catastrophe-free stew from Munsu?
I'll be eating out tomorrow.
Why?
A few of us are getting together
to discuss a plan to take on
an evil corporation that is intent on
destroying the environment.
Shall I go with you?
We're meeting during the day.
I suppose you could join us for dinner.
I quite enjoyed having a burger
for the first time in ages.
Thanks to the chairman.
Thank you very much.
Eat this, Munsu.
Ordering burgers in was the right idea.
Do you want another burger?
Or maybe a pizza?
-Something else.
-Okay.
YANGSO TOWN HALL
Father.
Isn't anyone coming?
I don't think this is going to work.
People think the development
is going to increase property prices.
Even those who were against it are now--
-They're saying, "What mountain?"
-Right.
That's understandable.
Most of them don't know the full detail,
so they're getting swept up in the fervor.
So, we'll just have to keep informing
and persuading them.
How about approaching citizens' groups?
-Right, bottoms up!
-Bottoms up!
Now then,
I asked a special favor of Mr. Kim.
This beef came all the way from Sangju.
So eat until
you have to let your belt out a notch.
-Okay!
-Okay!
Right, let's drink.
You've got to give us the chance
to refill our glasses.
What's the rush?
When it comes to work,
I believe speed equals success.
I see.
Asking questions just leads to headaches.
I'm saying that, as the experts,
we will take of everything.
So, just put your trust in me,
and concentrate on drinking.
Right then. For Yangso!
-For Yangso!
-For Yangso!
If you don't go to them, it seems like
he'll bring them here to you.
It seems like they're eager to meet you.
Has he been drinking?
Yes, well, quite a lot.
All right. For Yangso!
-For Yangso!
-For Yangso!
Dig in!
You too.
Dear me,
I must have forgotten to invite you.
But you made it anyway.
Please take a seat
and let me pour you a drink.
Over here.
Where are they eating?
Hello?
My grandfather isn't answering his phone.
Sorry? So where is he right now?
I never expected anything less
from that thing.
But the rest of you should be ashamed.
You all know
what that mountain means to us.
It's just a mountain.
What's so special about it?
He's so oblivious.
Did he think if he called them,
everyone would just come running?
Like in the past?
He's been a toothless tiger for years now.
Right?
Oh, you're still here.
I thought you'd left.
Grandpa.
Let's get out of here.
Hello.
Oh, it's you. The gym teacher.
When you were young, you used to strut
around town like you owned the place.
And you ended up becoming a teacher?
Hey, Seok Gyeongtae!
Aren't you even going to say hello to me?
I own your school.
-How arrogant can--
-You bastard!
Grandpa!
-You come here!
-Let go of me!
It's okay, I'm done.
-Try to control yourself.
-Get over here.
You scum!
Mr. Chairman.
Get over here!
You little bastard! Get over here!
-You bastard!
-Don't try and stop me.
Come here, you jerk!
-Move out of the way.
-Mr. Chairman.
Come here, you bastard.
Calm down.
Come here!
Let's talk.
Why bring me all the way down here?
How did your father know exactly
when and where to come?
Are you trying to say that I told him?
-Well, didn't you?
-No, I didn't.
Then forget it.
I understand why you're upset.
Oh, you understand, do you?
Then couldn't you have used
that understanding to leave us alone?
We're completely ruined,
just as your father wanted.
My grandfather lost the school,
and he has no power at all.
It seems like your father
was mocking him for that.
What more does he want?
Does he really have to flatten
that mountain and destroy my grandfather
to feel vindicated?
Probably. I think he will pursue it
to the bitter end.
And you'll help him no matter what?
Now look here, I'm a businessman.
If the company needs a golf course,
and building it will generate a profit,
as long as no laws are broken,
what reason could there be not to do it?
Whether out of petty revenge or whatever.
It's so simple and easy.
That's how the world is.
Simple and easy. Just like how
my family collapsed 18 years ago.
Back then, my grandpa--
He may not have intended for it to happen
and may not have had a choice,
but for those of us it affected, life was
so hard that death might have been better.
That's why,
even after so much time has passed,
even though he has fought his way
all the way back,
he still can't cast aside
his sordid desire for revenge.
Let's head back.
I think we've both made ourselves clear.
I have no intention
of giving you what you want.
Are you sure you're talking about
your father and my grandfather right now?
Of course. Would I be talking about you
and me when we lasted only three months
and ended just like that?
You keep harping on about three months
while glaring at me through slitted eyes.
What's it to you whether I glare at you,
glower at you, or gawk at you?
You'd better take him to the hospital
in the morning.
I think he sprained his ankle
in the struggle earlier.
Don't concern yourself with it.
I'll do what I see fit.
Damn it.
Damn it, just damn it.
Me? Why should I move out?
You said you feel awkward.
And you don't?
It's bad enough that I think I might be
better off living on the streets.
Just as you wish,
you can move out and live on the streets.
So you can get your way? No thanks.
Fine, but let's avoid
being in the same room.
And even if we are,
let's pretend we're not.
I won't even talk to you,
so do me the same courtesy.
Easy does it.
What are you doing not going home?
What do you think? Watching you sleep.
You must be lonely
with your family in the States.
For sure.
Don't say anything
about me being here like this.
I don't like you suffering because of me.
It can't be easy paying those school fees.
If it weren't for me, you could have moved
somewhere that pays more.
When you say things like that,
it makes me want to…
Want to what?
I'll move in here too.
There aren't any empty rooms.
You know what this place is these days?
A hotspot.
It's a hotspot.
Damn it.
What the heck?
I'm so cold.
Why isn't it working?
Dear me.
Why is it only broken in that one room?
I've called someone,
but they say it'll take a couple of days.
It's fine.
He'll be fine. He won't freeze to death.
Although I'd be thankful if he did.
Come and have some breakfast.
I'll eat when he's done.
Would you mind asking when he's leaving?
Mr. Chairman,
have you eaten your fill?
No, I'll be here quite a bit longer.
Tell her I'll be enjoying a leisurely
morning and am in no rush to get to work.
I don't think he's ever leaving.
I'm the one who was fighting,
so what's up between you two?
So, was it a bad fight?
It started because I was angry
about what happened to my grandpa.
But we ended up shouting insults because
we couldn't stand the sight of each other.
Seok Jiwon is a funny guy too.
He must have called his father there
at that time on purpose.
He says he didn't.
He would say that.
But if it wasn't him,
how did his father know?
Even though he's childish, stupid,
selfish, and rude,
he's not a liar. That I'm sure of.
How can you be so sure?
You hadn't seen him in so long.
Don't weaken your resolve.
Think of your grandfather.
Has something good happened to you?
Huh? Why?
You look strangely animated.
Yesterday, you looked like someone died.
No, nothing like that.
Let's grab a beer after work.
A beer?
Yes, you're upset.
Can we drink at your place?
At my house? All of a sudden?
Yes, I'll buy beer and snacks.
What's with you?
Why are you being so considerate?
So, it's a date? That's okay, right?
Okay.
-Okay, I'll see you later then.
-See you later.
HABITAT OF THE CYMBIDIUM ORCHID
Hey, is your grandfather resting?
Yeah.
I said we should eat out,
but Jihye was insistent.
It's fine.
-Give it here.
-Thank you.
The snacks are here.
-Come and sit down.
-Okay.
Honestly,
I speak from the heart when I say
the two of you look great together.
Will you give it a rest?
Never mind you.
What do you think about Jiwon?
Be honest.
Sorry? Well…
Time for you to go home.
-Why?
-Get up.
Let go of me.
I'm just curious. Let's hear what he says.
Wait a moment.
He can't answer,
and his face is getting red.
He likes you for sure.
He likes you. He definitely likes you.
-Hey, Cha Jihye.
-You like her, don't you?
Hey, you've had enough.
Seok Jiwon.
Did you hear that?
Gong Munsu likes Ji…
Hey, this way.
Geez, pull yourself together.
Damn it.
Hey!
Don't puke.
Hey, wake up.
Jihye, pull yourself together.
My bag.
You like her, right?
-Hey, Cha Jihye.
-You like her, don't you?
Hey, you've had enough.
What were they thinking?
Oh, water.
-Jiwon.
-Yes?
Jiwon.
What?
I need to get home,
but I can't find my bag.
It's late. Just stay here for tonight.
I need to go home. If I stay out
all night, I'll get in trouble.
It's probably in the upstairs living room.
What the heck?
What is this?
It's a ladder.
Is it an attic?
Hello?
What the heck?
You startled me.
Seok Jiwon?
-I just--
-What are you looking at? Hey!
What's going on?
It's okay. Only his pants came down.
I saw.
He's not going to eat.
It looks like he's suffered quite a shock.
I don't blame him.
For sure.
TO SEOK JIWON
YOU HAVE ONE NEW MESSAGE
JIWON, IT'S ME
CALL ME AT THIS NUMBER
BLOCK CALLER
It's been over ten years…
What was he doing rummaging through
someone else's attic?
Did he see it? Would he have seen it?
What? What is it?
Why have you been holding on to this?
I didn't keep it,
I just forgot to throw it away.
You kept it in a special box.
Yes, I was going to burn everything
in one go.
But I realized it wasn't worth it
and just chucked it up in the attic.
So, it means nothing?
See? Okay?
Sir, I…
MT. DOKMOK WHITE PAPER
Father.
Your father gets punched like that,
and you don't visit or even call him?
Please, sit down.
Are you okay?
What do you think?
That old geezer is surprisingly strong.
He got two good hits in.
Well, why did you do something so petty?
Never you mind.
You be sure to tell that geezer…
-Tell him what?
-That if he doesn't apologize to me,
I will demolish that run-down old house
he lives in before anything else.
Father.
I was going to just roll up
on an excavator,
but you know how soft-hearted I am,
so tell him I'm going to give him
one last chance.
Father, are you really going to do this?
I really am.
You know I'm a man of my word.
-Please.
-Right.
Thank you.
He's so annoying.
I feel cold running out here.
Even though it's spring,
the nights are still cold.
Shall we stop?
Is your ankle hurting?
I told you it's fine.
Stop making such a fuss
about a little slip.
Let's do two more laps.
Okay, take it easy.
He's practically living in his office.
Is he eating properly?
Let's at least give him
an electric blanket.
Where did I put that spare one?
I don't know.
-We don't have one. Just leave it.
-Hey…
Dear me.
With a fever like that,
you should visit the hospital
rather than come here.
With the fever on top of the aches,
you're in for a rough night.
Okay.
I'm sure we had an electric blanket
somewhere around here.
That's strange.
Mr. Chairman.
If you're sick,
you should go to the hospital.
Why are you so foolish?
We don't even have any fever medicine.
I'm crazy. What's so special about him?
Shall I go down?
What a pain in the neck.
He's fine now.
Jiwon.
What?
It's really you.
LOVE YOUR ENEMY
Crazy bastard. Why is he doing this to me?
I hate you so much.
I feel the same about you.
We've been friends for more than 20 years.
But she still doesn't know me.
It looks like you just missed the bus.
Get in.
How long will you be?
We can go back together.
Trust you, listen to you, respect you,
and is it okay to like you?
As per the bet, if the lilac blooms,
I will date you.
Why do you want to date me?
So I can toss you aside.
Mercilessly.
