FINAL EPISODE
If Mi-ran hadn't gotten in the way,
you could've died, Dong-chan.
THE ADVANTAGED
Hello?
Mr. My Love.
I'm Ko Nam-tae.
This is my sister's phone.
Yes.
I know.
She saved you as "My love."
So I called.
Oh.
Your sister did?
This voice. Are you the frozen man?
Yes.
I am.
No. You're not a frozen man anymore.
My sister's the frozen woman.
Oh, dear.
Oh, God, Director.
My son shouldn't have called.
Don't mind him.
What are you doing?
I just don't think you're disadvantaged.
So I changed your name.
Changed it to what?
-Let me see.
-No.
I think I know.
Did you change it
from "cold jerk" to "hot jerk"?
-I did not.
-You did.
-I did not.
-Then let me see.
No. I'll tell you later.
Dong-chan.
Come sit down.
Guys.
I have something to say.
For a while,
I'm going to stay elsewhere.
We re-froze someone
whose body temperature was already low.
So we have to start from scratch.
We can do it, Doctor.
We must.
Right.
We must succeed.
-The interview clips?
-Yes.
Do whatever you want.
I'm scrapping that project.
Join another team and do something else.
No.
I'll work under you
until my internship's up.
It's me.
I feel bad to leave
before the attacker's caught.
Keep the hotline open
because we must catch that guy.
Okay, Mr. Park.
Take care.
Look at this.
FROZEN WOMAN KO MI-RAN RETURNS
TO CAPSULE
SHE'LL BE ABLE TO LIVE
IN WARMTH SOON. PRAYING FOR YOU.
What if something bad happens?
All available biotech doctors
are working on this project.
It will go well.
Let's not have any negative thoughts.
Okay. We shouldn't, right?
HWANG BYUNG-SHIM
Hello?
I got suspended.
This can't be.
You must've done something wrong.
They say it's because I asked out
a female student.
And the female student in question
is Mi-ran.
How is she my student?
She's my first love.
I tried my best to plead my case,
but no one believed me.
And Mi-ran
went back into
You know what happened.
Only you can prove it for me, Young-sun.
I guess you'll get fired soon.
Don't call me about this again.
I don't want to hear or know about it.
Young-sun.
They don't know you moved into
her rooftop room and stalked her, do they?
I stalked her?
Listen carefully, Byung-shim.
I'm not someone who can help you.
I can only crush you.
If I get involved,
you won't just be fired.
You'll be buried alive, you bastard.
Young-sun!
Young-sun!
He'll lose his job?
HWANG BYUNG-SHIM
Hey. He's calling me now.
He needs a witness. Good grief.
He can't tell right from wrong.
My gosh.
Shall we have short rib soup?
Dong-chan, you should have lunch.
No, I'm good.
You go ahead.
You can go too.
I feel sorry for the guy.
I can't bear to see him like that.
It seems it's harder this time.
No one with a low body temperature has
been refrozen before,
so Doctor Hwang has to start
research from square one.
It must be taking much longer.
Oh, no.
Maybe they'll reunite
when Dong-chan's in his 70s.
How could you joke about it?
It wasn't a joke. It was more like
It's even worse if it wasn't a joke.
You're pathetic.
Go and apologize.
I'm always alone.
My name is Ko Mi-ran. I'm 44 years old.
I'm currently dating.
Ma Dong-chan,
the 52-year-old single guy Mi-ran chose.
What's this?
Let's go on a date today.
I'll text you the location.
It's our first date.
You need to stay healthy
to protect your girlfriend.
Did you change her name to "Aunt Mi-ran"?
I told you I don't want to.
You're so stubborn.
Dong-chan.
Mi-ran will get through it
and wake up miraculously.
The cargo platform?
Are you sure?
Okay.
They found Terry Kim.
The local police are arresting him.
I'll go join them.
Doctor Hwang must concentrate
on his research,
so I got him a room closer to the lab.
Nam-tae, can you sleep on your own?
I miss Doctor Hwang.
I'll ask him to visit this weekend.
Let's eat.
Gosh. This looks good.
Thanks for the food.
Sorry I'm keeping you in the cold alone.
ALL ABOUT LOVE
BY SEO HYUN-JUNG AND OTHERS
KO MI-RAN
A COLD WOMAN'S HOT HEAR
BY KO MI-RAN
A COLD WOMAN'S HOT HEAR
BY KO MI-RAN
I found my first love aged 44.
I'm a cold woman
with a body temperature of 31.5 degrees.
In this big, wide world,
there's only one man I love.
We met and fell in love
like the sun rises in the east
and the moon rises in the west.
That's how natural it was.
It's as if 20 years ago,
all the stars in the sky moved
in a way to make it so.
We were frozen side by side.
That was fate.
So I don't regret my decision
from 20 years ago.
Of course, living with a 31.5-degree
body temp is hard and distressing,
but still,
I like things the way they are now.
However hard things are,
the moments I spend with him now
are a miracle to me.
Because after I met him,
I've learned the true meaning of life.
My love for him
is the reason I came to this world
and what completes my life.
I like him that much.
He has become my whole world.
If I can love him,
I wouldn't even
mind
if I
died.
THREE YEARS LATER
Did you sleep well?
-Yes.
-Yes. You too?
Yes.
Nam-tae won't eat. He'll be late.
Have breakfast. I'll drop you off.
Yes, Nam-tae. Eat a little.
Yes.
And Dong-chan.
You should eat too.
No, I'm not hungry.
You drank a lot last night.
Have some soup.
Gosh, since you made hangover soup for me,
I have to eat.
In that case
Oh, Mother.
I have a team dinner today.
Don't wait up for me.
You have dinners all the time.
Don't drink so much.
-Eat up.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Let's eat.
TBO CEO KIM HONG-SEOK
VOTED TO BE DISMISSED
You are walking through a green meadow.
One step after the other, like that.
I'm not walking.
Take off your shoes.
The heels are too high.
You're walking barefoot.
You're walking.
I'm not walking.
Walk. You can walk.
I can't walk.
Why keep telling me to walk?
If you want hypnotherapy,
you must trust me and concentrate.
You have the wrong attitude.
What did you say? How dare you.
Do not get angry.
-Is that all you can say?
-Don't yell.
-When did I yell?
-Calm down.
Do you have a license?
I don't think you do. You're a quack.
A quack?
Living together made me see
how lazy he is,
and all he thinks about is
how he can get rich quick.
He dreams of scoring big
by investing in Dubai and Russia.
Didn't you know that?
I guess I'm cursed
when it comes to marriage.
All the guys I choose are messed up.
Anyway, want to catch
an early movie tomorrow?
My son gets discharged
from the army tomorrow.
It's that time already?
I miss the kid.
-So do I.
-Right?
Darn it.
MURKY WATER
Hello?
Why are you always so busy
when you're no longer a chief?
I'm sick of it. Bye!
Darn murky water.
He's gross. He never showers.
-Break up.
-Why did I call him "honey water"?
CEO KIM HONG-SEOK
You hung in there long enough.
This isn't right.
Is it my fault we're in the red?
I'm responsible for the low ratings?
It's all crap.
The regime ousted me.
It's no surprise.
Don't act like it is.
CEOs are replaced when presidents are.
You're so laid-back.
Aren't you disgruntled with your demotion?
What if I am disgruntled?
It's my loss.
How did you end up like this?
My sister-in-law says
I'm following my fortune.
Titles are like poison to me.
Goodness
It's better to go somewhere,
-I think.
-When?
-Take a look at this.
-What is it?
PLANNING SESSION
FOR A NEW VARIETY SHOW
-It's from BBC.
-Yes, it's related to them.
They'll send videos
Those delivered yesterday were
Let's start the meeting.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Hang on.
Wasn't there something similar to this?
This is out.
Then as a 50th anniversary special,
let's expand the Eskimo episode
We did that two years ago. No.
Revive the candid camera pranks?
-Are you kidding me? No.
-This was a hit on BBC.
That's BBC. No.
-Dong-chan, this
-You, just no.
Whose idea is the survival audition?
Do you think this would work?
Do you know how many there are already?
STAR DIRECTOR
MA DONG-CHAN STAYS AT TBO
WAITING FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND
They're done.
Welcome.
Doctor.
Doctor!
Goodness.
Doctor.
The pastry you made is really good.
It's the best I've ever had.
Doctor.
When will my sister wake up?
Well
There's a drug your sister needs.
We're in the process
of testing it on whales.
Wait just a little longer, Nam-tae.
I miss my sister.
My heart
It is hurting again.
Don't fall for me.
Your alimony payment ends today,
so I'm treating you.
All right.
Can I order something expensive?
You earn money now.
Go over 20,000 won, and I'll kill you.
Is Dong-chan doing okay?
How could he be? He's struggling.
He's my older brother,
but he's like a baby brother.
Ever since he came back to us,
I've considered him my baby brother.
I feel so sorry for him.
He could spend his whole life waiting.
Responsibility and guilt.
That was how his love began.
That's what I think.
Why do you think so?
That woman's not Dong-chan's type.
Do people have types really?
I liked small and cute girls
but fell for you at once.
Don't you hit on me.
Even if Dong-chan tries
to get us back together, fight back.
I won't get back with you.
Because I'm precious.
You act so high-and-mighty
when you're nothing.
It's charming today.
Shut up.
You're a loser of a husband.
No one knows how much
until they live with you.
Dong-chan knows little about you,
so he wants us to reconcile.
Because you look decent from outside.
Dong-chan knows and sees something.
He may be my older brother,
but what could he know?
It's so painfully obvious
how immature he is.
People don't just age.
You learn
as much as you live and experience.
Thank you for
You live here?
Yes. Do you live here too?
Yes.
I moved here about two months ago.
I see.
While I was in the US,
my younger sister stayed at my place.
She moved a month ago,
so all this mail has piled up.
You went to the US.
That's why someone else hosted the news.
The plan was for two years,
but I stayed an extra year.
Is Mi-ran
well?
Yes.
She's well.
Every single day,
I prayed for her, without fail.
Please help her
come back healthy and well.
She was refrozen
with a lower body temperature,
so many clinical trials are needed.
We're doing our best.
Don't worry too much.
Goodness. Your neckline's crumpled up.
I'll drop by my home tonight.
There's a family meeting.
Listen, Dong-chan.
Move back in with them.
You don't have to stay with us now.
We can manage on our own.
Am I a nuisance?
Of course not.
It's just,
your mother must be missing you so much.
That's why I spend each weekend with them.
Plus, my two siblings live there.
It's fine. Don't worry.
Gosh
You're such a reliable guy.
I see why Mi-ran liked you so much.
Mi-ran has high standards
when it comes to judging guys.
She does.
She's not at all like her mom.
Call if something comes up.
-Okay.
-I'm off, then.
See you.
Bye.
Let's see
Goodness.
You'll go back to school?
-Yes.
-Hey.
Live and work hard.
I told you.
You get to be in your 20s only once.
You're right.
To be in your 30s too.
Yes. Right.
Is Mi-ran
"Aunt Mi-ran."
Is she well?
Yes, she's well.
I've aged each day,
but she hasn't. Her time has stopped.
I'm anxious.
However much time passes,
even if you've become an old man,
her feelings won't change.
The one thing that God gave us equally
is time.
The poor and the rich,
they all get 24 hours in a day.
You've been reading poems
at the Lifelong Education Center,
and it made you all sophisticated.
For the remaining time we all have left,
we should live happily.
Yes.
Let's pray to the gods we each serve.
That our Mi-ran wakes up soon.
Let's all eat now.
Merciful Buddha.
Right. Is the interior decoration
at the new place almost done?
Yes. We just have to put up
the garden fence today.
What about your thesis? How's that going?
My eyesight's gotten bad,
so I'm going slower than the young kids,
but I'm doing very well
and I'm very happy.
Right. I even started composing.
That's great.
And you're in fourth grade now.
How's school?
Well, I feel weighed down
with responsibility.
I have more subjects to study now,
and it's quite stressful.
School doesn't suit me.
I see.
Are you still dating that boyfriend?
That was long ago.
Why would I still be seeing him?
Oh, sorry, Uncle.
You're waiting for your girlfriend
to wake up,
and that was rude of me to say.
Dong-chan.
When will you move back to live with us?
Our new place has many extra rooms.
You should come back soon.
I'll move in with my wife when I marry.
That's why I bought the big house.
This is the final clinical trial.
If it works, we'll wake up Mi-ran.
But there are still many dangers.
Like what?
Injecting her with the serum
to restore her body temp
as soon as she's thawed
could be too physically taxing.
On top of that, Mi-ran needs surgery
as soon as she's woken up.
If only I could go back to that day,
I'd have persuaded you
to take the shot right away.
Each time I think of that,
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I pretended not to, that I'm fine.
I kept it bottled up inside.
Mi-ran.
I miss you so much.
Listen.
If you broadcast the frozen man program,
I won't have to get fired. Please?
It's the project
that will save our station.
Let's do it, Dong-chan.
I won't do it.
And, Mr. Kim,
it's time to leave.
Hey
I have nothing to say either.
I heard you'd be back.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
The company's trying to make you chief,
but you're refusing the title.
I heard about the weird story.
I read in the news
that six frozen people have woken up.
It's Mi-ran's turn now.
She will come back.
I know how hard it is.
Stay sure to the end.
Mi-ran
will get through it.
Yes.
Here you go, Dong-chan.
Okay.
Hello?
The clinical test was a success.
We're in the 24-hour observation stage.
Great job, Doctor.
-I'm going out for a bit.
-What?
So, you mean
Mi-ran can come back out?
Yes.
The problem is,
we don't just have the obstacle
that her body temperature is low.
She needs surgery too.
The issue is whether she can pull through.
The drug that restored
your body temperature
took quite a toll on you for a week.
And she has to do that in one day,
so it would be physically tough.
Oh, dear.
What should we do?
I thought what I'd do if I were Mi-ran.
And I'm sure
Mi-ran would've decided
to wake up and fight through it.
She would've.
That's right.
Yes.
There's a 24-hour wireless power source
on the capsule.
She must be taken to the OR as is.
I cleared it with the operating team
that both Doctors Hwang
and Cho can observe.
Once at the OR, we'll give her the shot
to restore her body temp.
When it reaches
36.5 degrees 30 minutes later,
she'll have surgery
under general anesthesia.
What if her temperature isn't restored
in 30 minutes?
That won't happen.
We experimented extensively.
The issue is
whether she can physically endure it.
We'll do it, Doctor.
OPERATING TIME
How did the operation go?
And why are the doctors not coming out?
She's taking longer than we thought
to wake up from anesthesia.
We'll move her to the ICU right away.
Director.
I'm just fine.
I'll wake up.
So,
don't look so down. Cheer up.
Oh.
ICU WAITING ROOM ETIQUETTE
We have a pupillary response.
Let's see how she gets on.
The patient's will is most important now.
Can I
Could I see her?
No. There's still a risk of infection.
Only staff are allowed in.
Okay.
You keep this.
Okay.
Don't worry too much.
Mi-ran
will wake up soon.
Stay strong.
Okay?
Okay.
You stay strong too.
You know
your sister loves you lots, right?
Me too.
I love her lots too.
Yes.
LOVE DIARY - DATE
9TH
FIRST DAY AT WORK
18TH
THE DAY I KISSED HIM
The day I kissed him.
The day he called me pretty in the park.
The day we became a couple.
The day we went on our first date.
Director Ma's mother's birthday.
Have you heard?
Mi-ran showed a pupillary response.
Isn't that a good sign?
-It is.
-She'll wake up, then.
She should.
I hope nothing bad happens.
I miss Mi-ran.
So do I.
Her body temp's dropping.
Get Doctor Hwang.
How much has it dropped?
It's 35.4 degrees. It's dangerous.
Do you think he'll leave if you do this?
If he refuses to go,
we must kick him out and make him go.
We can't let
such a good young man ruin his life.
It's wrong.
Honey.
Darling.
This isn't working.
Let's let him go.
Why are you being like this?
Dong-chan did more than enough.
He's so sweet, honest, and caring,
and that's why Mi-ran was willing
to die for him.
This is what she'd want.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Dong-chan. Leave.
What are you talking about?
Mi-ran will tell me off when she wakes up.
Come on.
Why are you doing this?
Darn it.
And these clothes.
I asked you to have them dry-cleaned.
You didn't take care of that?
Jeez.
And
stop trying to kick me out.
If you keep doing that,
I'll yell.
I have to get back to the hospital
after I eat.
Let's eat together.
I'm hungry.
Dong-chan!
Honey, stop it.
Let's make him dinner.
Oh, my gosh
Director, my temperature's gone up.
I think
I'll be okay now.
Hang in there a bit.
Doctor.
Can you come to the hospital?
Mi-ran's temperature's gone up.
Did the doctor call you?
Well, no.
He didn't.
It's just a feeling I have.
Yes.
I'm on my way now.
Okay.
Her temperature's normal.
She's recovering.
Dong-chan's late.
Does he have a shoot today?
Didn't he say
he'd spend the night on Jeju Island?
Oh, right.
He'll be back tomorrow evening.
I'm so forgetful.
Oh, dear.
Hello?
Wh
What?
My
My Mi-ran
is awake?
Gosh.
My gosh
That place is a volcanic cone.
The wind's just too strong.
Is it? Then
Tomorrow morning, let's
-Hang on.
-Let's go to Seogwipo.
-Seogwipo?
-That's a better bet.
Hello?
Is that
Is that true?
Yes.
Okay.
Mi-ran
has woken up.
-What?
-That's great.
-That's great.
-So great.
I'll go see her.
Dong-chan! We're on Jeju Island.
It's way too late.
There are no ferries or planes.
Oh. Right.
What time is it?
-We'll see if there's a way out.
-Yes.
Okay.
Hello?
Hello, Mother.
Is she really awake?
Yes.
She talks and smiles.
It's like nothing happened.
She's walking now.
Shall I put her on?
No.
No.
I'll get there
and talk to her in person.
Okay.
Excuse me, sir?
Can you drive faster?
Okay.
Are you okay?
Have you
been well?
Yes.
It was a bit rough, though.
You're still so cool,
Ma Dong-chan.
I
I missed you so much.
I'm so cold.
Warm me up.
How can you sleep when a revamp is soon?
Guys. You can't hand in stuff like this
and call it a proposal,
and then go around
telling people you're TV show directors.
You.
Ko Mi-ran.
Yes?
Want to get demoted to intern?
No, of course not.
You did well as an intern,
but your mind froze
after you became a regular employee.
How could you submit
such a crappy proposal?
The thing is,
I was frozen, thawed,
then frozen and thawed again,
so I'm not that fresh.
Don't make me laugh.
You can't use that as an excuse.
There's a problem with your mindset.
I'll work harder.
You should.
You all have a week.
Get a grip!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Ta-da.
All right.
I got us
coffee.
I think my brain really did freeze up.
No. That's not true.
It's just, I had to say stuff like that.
What else could I say?
Were you hurt?
Yes. I was hurt. A bit.
A bit?
No.
At work, we must act like professionals.
I know that.
But
I think I need a change.
You would need a change.
You've been 24 for 23 years.
Right.
Now, drink this.
It's hot.
So, what are you two going to do?
Goodness.
Miss.
Do you still not have plans to marry?
I'm still just 24 years old.
You were 24 years old years ago.
You can't say that anymore.
Right.
But I keep missing the chance to age.
So, what?
You won't get married?
No.
Actually,
I was going to go abroad to study.
You what? Go abroad?
I was thinking of applying for the program
TBO offers full-time employees.
Hey, then
Then what about me?
If you go abroad, what do I do?
What?
I mean,
for the three years you were frozen,
I waited for you.
Doesn't that count for something?
For the first time ever,
I understood how women feel
as they wait for their soldier boyfriends.
But look.
A stint in the army is 18 months now.
Don't you feel doubly sorry for me?
And you're saying now
that you want to go abroad?
My goodness. You're kidding, right?
I'm not kidding.
I want to do some actual studying
to become a good director.
I should broaden my horizons.
I've been kept in a small pond so far.
If possible, after that program,
I want to go to graduate school.
And earn a master's degree too,
it might take five years.
Yes. You're so darn selfish.
You only think of yourself?
Five years from now, I'll be 40.
No, you'll be 60.
Yes, I'll be 60 years old.
You will be. 60 years old.
That's old.
I haven't felt this angry in a while.
Let's not argue
on such a good day. Let's eat.
Instead of that,
Dong-chan, you go abroad with her.
Mom.
I have so much going on here.
I can't go abroad.
What more could I possibly learn?
Or
Miss.
Why don't you get married
and have a baby first?
My Dong-ju will raise the baby,
and you two can go abroad together.
-What?
-What?
What?
I mean, in this situation,
isn't that the only solution?
Why would I raise Dong-chan's kid?
Mother, don't get too carried away.
Let's think rationally.
No, Mom. That doesn't make sense.
She's not that crazy insistent
about going abroad.
Why would she go
instead of raising her own kid?
You shouldn't do that. It's not right.
It wasn't my idea. Don't blame me.
It's such a mess.
Anyway, I'd like you two
to get married before summer comes.
Mom. Take it back
that you want me to raise their kid.
Mi-ran won't say anything about it,
but I bet she hates the idea
of you raising her kid.
Don't you?
Well, I
What are you talking about?
I never said
I'd raise their kid, you jerk.
Will you let your brother grow old
on his own, then?
He must carry on the family name.
Hold on, everyone.
Let's stop and eat first.
That issue isn't something
to discuss so lightly.
By the way, Dong-chan,
you seem to want to get married.
Of course! I must!
I must get married.
I will get married.
I will.
You're not angry.
I am angry.
You're not angry.
You're thinking.
Don't act like you know me.
You don't know anything.
Here.
They're journals I've written
as I've waited for you.
I thought you'd want to know
what happened while you've been asleep.
I wanted to do something
to share our time.
Do you know what I felt
as I've waited for you?
I changed my ways a bit
and started to believe in fate.
Things will work out
as they're meant to be.
Let's leave it to fate.
Okay.
Drive home safely.
Okay.
YOU CAME TO ME IN MY DREAMS
TIME GOES BY
WHILE YOU'RE NOT HERE
If only I could go back to that day,
I'd have persuaded you
to take the shot right away.
Each time I think of that,
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Mi-ran.
I miss you so much.
Hello, Chief.
Congratulations on your return.
Thanks for coming back.
Thanks for your concern.
Mi-ran.
Yes?
Do whatever you want to do.
I support your dream.
I read the journals you've written.
I don't want to live apart from you.
I can't go with you right now.
If your time is about chasing your dreams,
mine is about facing reality.
We must compromise somewhere in between.
I'll wait for you.
No. I won't go.
Don't do that.
I can't let you give up
what you want to do because of me.
I don't want us to be apart.
Neither do I.
I think there might be a solution.
-It might work.
-Maybe?
-Yes.
-Let's support them.
-Hey.
-Hello.
-Hello, Chief.
-What's up?
Is something up?
Dong-chan and Mi-ran are leaving together.
What?
2 MONTHS LATER
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
Hello.
BRILLIANT TRAVELS
Uncle, why make it so complicated?
Just go with her
and run a YouTube channel.
I think there might be a solution.
We're currently traveling in Seattle.
It's so cold over here.
Everyone. Live life
to the full with passion.
Feel and remember how important it is
to share time and space
with the people around you.
Thank you for everything so far.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Goodbye.
And so, the frozen couple
Ma Dong-chan and Ko Mi-ran
lived happily ever after.

FINAL EPISODE
If Mi-ran hadn't gotten in the way,
you could've died, Dong-chan.
THE ADVANTAGED
Hello?
Mr. My Love.
I'm Ko Nam-tae.
This is my sister's phone.
Yes.
I know.
She saved you as "My love."
So I called.
Oh.
Your sister did?
This voice. Are you the frozen man?
Yes.
I am.
No. You're not a frozen man anymore.
My sister's the frozen woman.
Oh, dear.
Oh, God, Director.
My son shouldn't have called.
Don't mind him.
What are you doing?
I just don't think you're disadvantaged.
So I changed your name.
Changed it to what?
-Let me see.
-No.
I think I know.
Did you change it
from "cold jerk" to "hot jerk"?
-I did not.
-You did.
-I did not.
-Then let me see.
No. I'll tell you later.
Dong-chan.
Come sit down.
Guys.
I have something to say.
For a while,
I'm going to stay elsewhere.
We re-froze someone
whose body temperature was already low.
So we have to start from scratch.
We can do it, Doctor.
We must.
Right.
We must succeed.
-The interview clips?
-Yes.
Do whatever you want.
I'm scrapping that project.
Join another team and do something else.
No.
I'll work under you
until my internship's up.
It's me.
I feel bad to leave
before the attacker's caught.
Keep the hotline open
because we must catch that guy.
Okay, Mr. Park.
Take care.
Look at this.
FROZEN WOMAN KO MI-RAN RETURNS
TO CAPSULE
SHE'LL BE ABLE TO LIVE
IN WARMTH SOON. PRAYING FOR YOU.
What if something bad happens?
All available biotech doctors
are working on this project.
It will go well.
Let's not have any negative thoughts.
Okay. We shouldn't, right?
HWANG BYUNG-SHIM
Hello?
I got suspended.
This can't be.
You must've done something wrong.
They say it's because I asked out
a female student.
And the female student in question
is Mi-ran.
How is she my student?
She's my first love.
I tried my best to plead my case,
but no one believed me.
And Mi-ran
went back into
You know what happened.
Only you can prove it for me, Young-sun.
I guess you'll get fired soon.
Don't call me about this again.
I don't want to hear or know about it.
Young-sun.
They don't know you moved into
her rooftop room and stalked her, do they?
I stalked her?
Listen carefully, Byung-shim.
I'm not someone who can help you.
I can only crush you.
If I get involved,
you won't just be fired.
You'll be buried alive, you bastard.
Young-sun!
Young-sun!
He'll lose his job?
HWANG BYUNG-SHIM
Hey. He's calling me now.
He needs a witness. Good grief.
He can't tell right from wrong.
My gosh.
Shall we have short rib soup?
Dong-chan, you should have lunch.
No, I'm good.
You go ahead.
You can go too.
I feel sorry for the guy.
I can't bear to see him like that.
It seems it's harder this time.
No one with a low body temperature has
been refrozen before,
so Doctor Hwang has to start
research from square one.
It must be taking much longer.
Oh, no.
Maybe they'll reunite
when Dong-chan's in his 70s.
How could you joke about it?
It wasn't a joke. It was more like
It's even worse if it wasn't a joke.
You're pathetic.
Go and apologize.
I'm always alone.
My name is Ko Mi-ran. I'm 44 years old.
I'm currently dating.
Ma Dong-chan,
the 52-year-old single guy Mi-ran chose.
What's this?
Let's go on a date today.
I'll text you the location.
It's our first date.
You need to stay healthy
to protect your girlfriend.
Did you change her name to "Aunt Mi-ran"?
I told you I don't want to.
You're so stubborn.
Dong-chan.
Mi-ran will get through it
and wake up miraculously.
The cargo platform?
Are you sure?
Okay.
They found Terry Kim.
The local police are arresting him.
I'll go join them.
Doctor Hwang must concentrate
on his research,
so I got him a room closer to the lab.
Nam-tae, can you sleep on your own?
I miss Doctor Hwang.
I'll ask him to visit this weekend.
Let's eat.
Gosh. This looks good.
Thanks for the food.
Sorry I'm keeping you in the cold alone.

A COLD WOMAN'S HOT HEAR
BY KO MI-RAN
A COLD WOMAN'S HOT HEAR
BY KO MI-RAN
I found my first love aged 44.
I'm a cold woman
with a body temperature of 31.5 degrees.
In this big, wide world,
there's only one man I love.
We met and fell in love
like the sun rises in the east
and the moon rises in the west.
That's how natural it was.
It's as if 20 years ago,
all the stars in the sky moved
in a way to make it so.
We were frozen side by side.
That was fate.
So I don't regret my decision
from 20 years ago.
Of course, living with a 31.5-degree
body temp is hard and distressing,
but still,
I like things the way they are now.
However hard things are,
the moments I spend with him now
are a miracle to me.
Because after I met him,
I've learned the true meaning of life.
My love for him
is the reason I came to this world
and what completes my life.
I like him that much.
He has become my whole world.
If I can love him,
I wouldn't even
mind
if I
died.
THREE YEARS LATER
Did you sleep well?
-Yes.
-Yes. You too?
Yes.
Nam-tae won't eat. He'll be late.
Have breakfast. I'll drop you off.
Yes, Nam-tae. Eat a little.
Yes.
And Dong-chan.
You should eat too.
No, I'm not hungry.
You drank a lot last night.
Have some soup.
Gosh, since you made hangover soup for me,
I have to eat.
In that case
Oh, Mother.
I have a team dinner today.
Don't wait up for me.
You have dinners all the time.
Don't drink so much.
-Eat up.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Let's eat.
TBO CEO KIM HONG-SEOK
VOTED TO BE DISMISSED
You are walking through a green meadow.
One step after the other, like that.
I'm not walking.
Take off your shoes.
The heels are too high.
You're walking barefoot.
You're walking.
I'm not walking.
Walk. You can walk.
I can't walk.
Why keep telling me to walk?
If you want hypnotherapy,
you must trust me and concentrate.
You have the wrong attitude.
What did you say? How dare you.
Do not get angry.
-Is that all you can say?
-Don't yell.
-When did I yell?
-Calm down.
Do you have a license?
I don't think you do. You're a quack.
A quack?
Living together made me see
how lazy he is,
and all he thinks about is
how he can get rich quick.
He dreams of scoring big
by investing in Dubai and Russia.
Didn't you know that?
I guess I'm cursed
when it comes to marriage.
All the guys I choose are messed up.
Anyway, want to catch
an early movie tomorrow?
My son gets discharged
from the army tomorrow.
It's that time already?
I miss the kid.
-So do I.
-Right?
Darn it.
MURKY WATER
Hello?
Why are you always so busy
when you're no longer a chief?
I'm sick of it. Bye!
Darn murky water.
He's gross. He never showers.
-Break up.
-Why did I call him "honey water"?
CEO KIM HONG-SEOK
You hung in there long enough.
This isn't right.
Is it my fault we're in the red?
I'm responsible for the low ratings?
It's all crap.
The regime ousted me.
It's no surprise.
Don't act like it is.
CEOs are replaced when presidents are.
You're so laid-back.
Aren't you disgruntled with your demotion?
What if I am disgruntled?
It's my loss.
How did you end up like this?
My sister-in-law says
I'm following my fortune.
Titles are like poison to me.
Goodness
It's better to go somewhere,
-I think.
-When?
-Take a look at this.
-What is it?
PLANNING SESSION
FOR A NEW VARIETY SHOW
-It's from BBC.
-Yes, it's related to them.
They'll send videos
Those delivered yesterday were
Let's start the meeting.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Hang on.
Wasn't there something similar to this?
This is out.
Then as a 50th anniversary special,
let's expand the Eskimo episode
We did that two years ago. No.
Revive the candid camera pranks?
-Are you kidding me? No.
-This was a hit on BBC.
That's BBC. No.
-Dong-chan, this
-You, just no.
Whose idea is the survival audition?
Do you think this would work?
Do you know how many there are already?
STAR DIRECTOR
MA DONG-CHAN STAYS AT TBO
WAITING FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND
They're done.
Welcome.
Doctor.
Doctor!
Goodness.
Doctor.
The pastry you made is really good.
It's the best I've ever had.
Doctor.
When will my sister wake up?
Well
There's a drug your sister needs.
We're in the process
of testing it on whales.
Wait just a little longer, Nam-tae.
I miss my sister.
My heart
It is hurting again.
Don't fall for me.
Your alimony payment ends today,
so I'm treating you.
All right.
Can I order something expensive?
You earn money now.
Go over 20,000 won, and I'll kill you.
Is Dong-chan doing okay?
How could he be? He's struggling.
He's my older brother,
but he's like a baby brother.
Ever since he came back to us,
I've considered him my baby brother.
I feel so sorry for him.
He could spend his whole life waiting.
Responsibility and guilt.
That was how his love began.
That's what I think.
Why do you think so?
That woman's not Dong-chan's type.
Do people have types really?
I liked small and cute girls
but fell for you at once.
Don't you hit on me.
Even if Dong-chan tries
to get us back together, fight back.
I won't get back with you.
Because I'm precious.
You act so high-and-mighty
when you're nothing.
It's charming today.
Shut up.
You're a loser of a husband.
No one knows how much
until they live with you.
Dong-chan knows little about you,
so he wants us to reconcile.
Because you look decent from outside.
Dong-chan knows and sees something.
He may be my older brother,
but what could he know?
It's so painfully obvious
how immature he is.
People don't just age.
You learn
as much as you live and experience.
Thank you for
You live here?
Yes. Do you live here too?
Yes.
I moved here about two months ago.
I see.
While I was in the US,
my younger sister stayed at my place.
She moved a month ago,
so all this mail has piled up.
You went to the US.
That's why someone else hosted the news.
The plan was for two years,
but I stayed an extra year.
Is Mi-ran
well?
Yes.
She's well.
Every single day,
I prayed for her, without fail.
Please help her
come back healthy and well.
She was refrozen
with a lower body temperature,
so many clinical trials are needed.
We're doing our best.
Don't worry too much.
Goodness. Your neckline's crumpled up.
I'll drop by my home tonight.
There's a family meeting.
Listen, Dong-chan.
Move back in with them.
You don't have to stay with us now.
We can manage on our own.
Am I a nuisance?
Of course not.
It's just,
your mother must be missing you so much.
That's why I spend each weekend with them.
Plus, my two siblings live there.
It's fine. Don't worry.
Gosh
You're such a reliable guy.
I see why Mi-ran liked you so much.
Mi-ran has high standards
when it comes to judging guys.
She does.
She's not at all like her mom.
Call if something comes up.
-Okay.
-I'm off, then.
See you.
Bye.
Let's see
Goodness.
You'll go back to school?
-Yes.
-Hey.
Live and work hard.
I told you.
You get to be in your 20s only once.
You're right.
To be in your 30s too.
Yes. Right.
Is Mi-ran
"Aunt Mi-ran."
Is she well?
Yes, she's well.
I've aged each day,
but she hasn't. Her time has stopped.
I'm anxious.
However much time passes,
even if you've become an old man,
her feelings won't change.
The one thing that God gave us equally
is time.
The poor and the rich,
they all get 24 hours in a day.
You've been reading poems
at the Lifelong Education Center,
and it made you all sophisticated.
For the remaining time we all have left,
we should live happily.
Yes.
Let's pray to the gods we each serve.
That our Mi-ran wakes up soon.
Let's all eat now.
Merciful Buddha.
Right. Is the interior decoration
at the new place almost done?
Yes. We just have to put up
the garden fence today.
What about your thesis? How's that going?
My eyesight's gotten bad,
so I'm going slower than the young kids,
but I'm doing very well
and I'm very happy.
Right. I even started composing.
That's great.
And you're in fourth grade now.
How's school?
Well, I feel weighed down
with responsibility.
I have more subjects to study now,
and it's quite stressful.
School doesn't suit me.
I see.
Are you still dating that boyfriend?
That was long ago.
Why would I still be seeing him?
Oh, sorry, Uncle.
You're waiting for your girlfriend
to wake up,
and that was rude of me to say.
Dong-chan.
When will you move back to live with us?
Our new place has many extra rooms.
You should come back soon.
I'll move in with my wife when I marry.
That's why I bought the big house.
This is the final clinical trial.
If it works, we'll wake up Mi-ran.
But there are still many dangers.
Like what?
Injecting her with the serum
to restore her body temp
as soon as she's thawed
could be too physically taxing.
On top of that, Mi-ran needs surgery
as soon as she's woken up.
If only I could go back to that day,
I'd have persuaded you
to take the shot right away.
Each time I think of that,
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I pretended not to, that I'm fine.
I kept it bottled up inside.
Mi-ran.
I miss you so much.
Listen.
If you broadcast the frozen man program,
I won't have to get fired. Please?
It's the project
that will save our station.
Let's do it, Dong-chan.
I won't do it.
And, Mr. Kim,
it's time to leave.
Hey
I have nothing to say either.
I heard you'd be back.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
The company's trying to make you chief,
but you're refusing the title.
I heard about the weird story.
I read in the news
that six frozen people have woken up.
It's Mi-ran's turn now.
She will come back.
I know how hard it is.
Stay sure to the end.
Mi-ran
will get through it.
Yes.
Here you go, Dong-chan.
Okay.
Hello?
The clinical test was a success.
We're in the 24-hour observation stage.
Great job, Doctor.
-I'm going out for a bit.
-What?
So, you mean
Mi-ran can come back out?
Yes.
The problem is,
we don't just have the obstacle
that her body temperature is low.
She needs surgery too.
The issue is whether she can pull through.
The drug that restored
your body temperature
took quite a toll on you for a week.
And she has to do that in one day,
so it would be physically tough.
Oh, dear.
What should we do?
I thought what I'd do if I were Mi-ran.
And I'm sure
Mi-ran would've decided
to wake up and fight through it.
She would've.
That's right.
Yes.
There's a 24-hour wireless power source
on the capsule.
She must be taken to the OR as is.
I cleared it with the operating team
that both Doctors Hwang
and Cho can observe.
Once at the OR, we'll give her the shot
to restore her body temp.
When it reaches
36.5 degrees 30 minutes later,
she'll have surgery
under general anesthesia.
What if her temperature isn't restored
in 30 minutes?
That won't happen.
We experimented extensively.
The issue is
whether she can physically endure it.
We'll do it, Doctor.
OPERATING TIME
How did the operation go?
And why are the doctors not coming out?
She's taking longer than we thought
to wake up from anesthesia.
We'll move her to the ICU right away.
Director.
I'm just fine.
I'll wake up.
So,
don't look so down. Cheer up.
Oh.
ICU WAITING ROOM ETIQUETTE
We have a pupillary response.
Let's see how she gets on.
The patient's will is most important now.
Can I
Could I see her?
No. There's still a risk of infection.
Only staff are allowed in.
Okay.
You keep this.
Okay.
Don't worry too much.
Mi-ran
will wake up soon.
Stay strong.
Okay?
Okay.
You stay strong too.
You know
your sister loves you lots, right?
Me too.
I love her lots too.
Yes.
LOVE DIARY - DATE
9TH
FIRST DAY AT WORK
18TH
THE DAY I KISSED HIM
The day I kissed him.
The day he called me pretty in the park.
The day we became a couple.
The day we went on our first date.
Director Ma's mother's birthday.
Have you heard?
Mi-ran showed a pupillary response.
Isn't that a good sign?
-It is.
-She'll wake up, then.
She should.
I hope nothing bad happens.
I miss Mi-ran.
So do I.
Her body temp's dropping.
Get Doctor Hwang.
How much has it dropped?
It's 35.4 degrees. It's dangerous.
Do you think he'll leave if you do this?
If he refuses to go,
we must kick him out and make him go.
We can't let
such a good young man ruin his life.
It's wrong.
Honey.
Darling.
This isn't working.
Let's let him go.
Why are you being like this?
Dong-chan did more than enough.
He's so sweet, honest, and caring,
and that's why Mi-ran was willing
to die for him.
This is what she'd want.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Dong-chan. Leave.
What are you talking about?
Mi-ran will tell me off when she wakes up.
Come on.
Why are you doing this?
Darn it.
And these clothes.
I asked you to have them dry-cleaned.
You didn't take care of that?
Jeez.
And
stop trying to kick me out.
If you keep doing that,
I'll yell.
I have to get back to the hospital
after I eat.
Let's eat together.
I'm hungry.
Dong-chan!
Honey, stop it.
Let's make him dinner.
Oh, my gosh
Director, my temperature's gone up.
I think
I'll be okay now.
Hang in there a bit.
Doctor.
Can you come to the hospital?
Mi-ran's temperature's gone up.
Did the doctor call you?
Well, no.
He didn't.
It's just a feeling I have.
Yes.
I'm on my way now.
Okay.
Her temperature's normal.
She's recovering.
Dong-chan's late.
Does he have a shoot today?
Didn't he say
he'd spend the night on Jeju Island?
Oh, right.
He'll be back tomorrow evening.
I'm so forgetful.
Oh, dear.
Hello?
Wh
What?
My
My Mi-ran
is awake?
Gosh.
My gosh
That place is a volcanic cone.
The wind's just too strong.
Is it? Then
Tomorrow morning, let's
-Hang on.
-Let's go to Seogwipo.
-Seogwipo?
-That's a better bet.
Hello?
Is that
Is that true?
Yes.
Okay.
Mi-ran
has woken up.
-What?
-That's great.
-That's great.
-So great.
I'll go see her.
Dong-chan! We're on Jeju Island.
It's way too late.
There are no ferries or planes.
Oh. Right.
What time is it?
-We'll see if there's a way out.
-Yes.
Okay.
Hello?
Hello, Mother.
Is she really awake?
Yes.
She talks and smiles.
It's like nothing happened.
She's walking now.
Shall I put her on?
No.
No.
I'll get there
and talk to her in person.
Okay.
Excuse me, sir?
Can you drive faster?
Okay.
Are you okay?
Have you
been well?
Yes.
It was a bit rough, though.
You're still so cool,
Ma Dong-chan.
I
I missed you so much.
I'm so cold.
Warm me up.
How can you sleep when a revamp is soon?
Guys. You can't hand in stuff like this
and call it a proposal,
and then go around
telling people you're TV show directors.
You.
Ko Mi-ran.
Yes?
Want to get demoted to intern?
No, of course not.
You did well as an intern,
but your mind froze
after you became a regular employee.
How could you submit
such a crappy proposal?
The thing is,
I was frozen, thawed,
then frozen and thawed again,
so I'm not that fresh.
Don't make me laugh.
You can't use that as an excuse.
There's a problem with your mindset.
I'll work harder.
You should.
You all have a week.
Get a grip!
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
Ta-da.
All right.
I got us
coffee.
I think my brain really did freeze up.
No. That's not true.
It's just, I had to say stuff like that.
What else could I say?
Were you hurt?
Yes. I was hurt. A bit.
A bit?
No.
At work, we must act like professionals.
I know that.
But
I think I need a change.
You would need a change.
You've been 24 for 23 years.
Right.
Now, drink this.
It's hot.
So, what are you two going to do?
Goodness.
Miss.
Do you still not have plans to marry?
I'm still just 24 years old.
You were 24 years old years ago.
You can't say that anymore.
Right.
But I keep missing the chance to age.
So, what?
You won't get married?
No.
Actually,
I was going to go abroad to study.
You what? Go abroad?
I was thinking of applying for the program
TBO offers full-time employees.
Hey, then
Then what about me?
If you go abroad, what do I do?
What?
I mean,
for the three years you were frozen,
I waited for you.
Doesn't that count for something?
For the first time ever,
I understood how women feel
as they wait for their soldier boyfriends.
But look.
A stint in the army is 18 months now.
Don't you feel doubly sorry for me?
And you're saying now
that you want to go abroad?
My goodness. You're kidding, right?
I'm not kidding.
I want to do some actual studying
to become a good director.
I should broaden my horizons.
I've been kept in a small pond so far.
If possible, after that program,
I want to go to graduate school.
And earn a master's degree too,
it might take five years.
Yes. You're so darn selfish.
You only think of yourself?
Five years from now, I'll be 40.
No, you'll be 60.
Yes, I'll be 60 years old.
You will be. 60 years old.
That's old.
I haven't felt this angry in a while.
Let's not argue
on such a good day. Let's eat.
Instead of that,
Dong-chan, you go abroad with her.
Mom.
I have so much going on here.
I can't go abroad.
What more could I possibly learn?
Or
Miss.
Why don't you get married
and have a baby first?
My Dong-ju will raise the baby,
and you two can go abroad together.
-What?
-What?
What?
I mean, in this situation,
isn't that the only solution?
Why would I raise Dong-chan's kid?
Mother, don't get too carried away.
Let's think rationally.
No, Mom. That doesn't make sense.
She's not that crazy insistent
about going abroad.
Why would she go
instead of raising her own kid?
You shouldn't do that. It's not right.
It wasn't my idea. Don't blame me.
It's such a mess.
Anyway, I'd like you two
to get married before summer comes.
Mom. Take it back
that you want me to raise their kid.
Mi-ran won't say anything about it,
but I bet she hates the idea
of you raising her kid.
Don't you?
Well, I
What are you talking about?
I never said
I'd raise their kid, you jerk.
Will you let your brother grow old
on his own, then?
He must carry on the family name.
Hold on, everyone.
Let's stop and eat first.
That issue isn't something
to discuss so lightly.
By the way, Dong-chan,
you seem to want to get married.
Of course! I must!
I must get married.
I will get married.
I will.
You're not angry.
I am angry.
You're not angry.
You're thinking.
Don't act like you know me.
You don't know anything.
Here.
They're journals I've written
as I've waited for you.
I thought you'd want to know
what happened while you've been asleep.
I wanted to do something
to share our time.
Do you know what I felt
as I've waited for you?
I changed my ways a bit
and started to believe in fate.
Things will work out
as they're meant to be.
Let's leave it to fate.
Okay.
Drive home safely.
Okay.
YOU CAME TO ME IN MY DREAMS
TIME GOES BY
WHILE YOU'RE NOT HERE
If only I could go back to that day,
I'd have persuaded you
to take the shot right away.
Each time I think of that,
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Mi-ran.
I miss you so much.
Hello, Chief.
Congratulations on your return.
Thanks for coming back.
Thanks for your concern.
Mi-ran.
Yes?
Do whatever you want to do.
I support your dream.
I read the journals you've written.
I don't want to live apart from you.
I can't go with you right now.
If your time is about chasing your dreams,
mine is about facing reality.
We must compromise somewhere in between.
I'll wait for you.
No. I won't go.
Don't do that.
I can't let you give up
what you want to do because of me.
I don't want us to be apart.
Neither do I.
I think there might be a solution.
-It might work.
-Maybe?
-Yes.
-Let's support them.
-Hey.
-Hello.
-Hello, Chief.
-What's up?
Is something up?
Dong-chan and Mi-ran are leaving together.
What?
2 MONTHS LATER
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
Hello.
BRILLIANT TRAVELS
Uncle, why make it so complicated?
Just go with her
and run a YouTube channel.
I think there might be a solution.
We're currently traveling in Seattle.
It's so cold over here.
Everyone. Live life
to the full with passion.
Feel and remember how important it is
to share time and space
with the people around you.
Thank you for everything so far.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Goodbye.
And so, the frozen couple
Ma Dong-chan and Ko Mi-ran
lived happily ever after.
ALL ABOUT LOVE
MELTING ME SOFTLY
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
