Temperature of Love (2017) s01e19 Episode Script
Episode 19
1
Out of the things I own,
if there is something
that suits someone else better,
it's hard for me to keep it
because it reminds me of that person.
That still sounds so corny.
You have to get a beating from me today.
Will that settle my debt?
Do you want to get punched first
or save it for after the talk?
I'll hear what you have to say
and try to avoid the punch.
You didn't even know it was my birthday.
Do you want to return
the birthday punch I gave you?
I made your 39th birthday very memorable.
I'll never forget your birthday.
Do you know what I liked about you?
How you never got shaken up.
I wanted to see
if I could shake you all up.
I thought
that you might change
if you got shaken up.
I admired you
for not getting hurt
even when you got rejected.
I feel like I'm more myself now
than I've ever been.
That's how it is.
After being shaken up,
you either become better
or get screwed.
I tried to find out the essential truth
about the things that I love.
Hyeon-soo
never got swayed by me.
Congratulations.
She chose you,
and I lost to that love.
I'll see you at the office.
I'll head there right after I meet Mother.
"Mother"?
It feels awkward to call her like that.
Then
don't call her like that.
You're not even married yet.
Don't you think
you're getting too deeply involved?
I don't know what the future
has in store for me,
but I'll follow my heart for now.
What's up?
Are you serious?
You have to tell me
what happened with your mother.
I wasn't sure how to bring it up.
I've been worried.
I wanted to call your mother,
but I was hesitant.
I thought you might not like it.
I'm still not good at this.
I hesitated to tell you
because I didn't want to worry you.
I guess I should've called you
and told you that I hesitated.
That's why I called your mother first.
I thought it might feel like nagging
if I asked you about it.
Did I do a good job?
Yes, you did.
We should've been like this sooner.
Then we wouldn't have fought.
We can be like this now because we fought.
The heartaches during the two weeks
that we were broken up were worse
than the pain I felt
during the five years that we were apart.
Hello.
Are you going to greet me like that
every time you see me?
Have you eaten yet?
Yes, I have.
I want to make myself feel better.
What would you like to do?
Would you do it with me?
I have two hours.
-It's my favorite color.
-It looks great on you.
-Here.
-Okay.
Mother.
Are you going to buy all of these?
Just call me by my first name
when we're out.
Okay, Yeong-mi.
Yeong-mi.
Have you found anything you like?
No, not yet. There's nothing pretty.
This season's designs aren't that great.
-Let's go.
-Okay, Yeong-mi.
Thank you. I'm sorry.
Did you see those men looking at me?
Yes, they were looking at you.
Right?
Men just love me.
It's always been like this.
I like hanging out with you
because you're so pretty.
You're pretty, too.
Will you head home now?
Today, even shopping isn't fun.
Sir, Ms. Lee Hyeon-soo's mother
is waiting for you inside.
Did I come too early?
It's totally fine. Please have a seat.
I made a new batch of citron tea.
I thought of you and brought some for you.
Thank you.
Thank you for being so good to Hyeon-soo.
No problem.
Please take good care of her.
Isn't it wonderful to be working
in the same field?
Hyeon-soo is honest and loyal.
Work-wise,
she'll be a good partner to you.
Yes.
Welcome.
We enjoyed it last time, so we're back.
I see.
Aren't you getting more customers
these days?
Yes, we are.
I wrote a nice review.
Thank you.
Other restaurants usually pamper me
in return.
All right, two more lunch courses.
-Yes, Chef.
-Ha-seong.
-Is the ceviche ready yet?
-Coming right up!
Chef, the order that just came through
is for the blogger
who didn't pay last time.
What should we do?
We should go by the book.
Got it.
There.
GOOD SOUP
ADD CONTAC
Thank you for calling Good Soup.
I'd like to make
a reservation for two for tomorrow.
I'm sorry. We'll be closed tomorrow.
And we're actually fully booked
until the end of next week.
Oh, I see.
Actually, I'd like to meet with Chef On.
That's why I was
thinking of having a meal there.
Is that right?
May I have your name, please?
Min-ho, pass me the pomegranate.
-It's not done yet?
-It's done, Chef.
-It's all done, Chef.
-Okay.
Chef, Ms. Lee's mother called.
PARK MI-NA
Hello?
Hello, this is On Jeong-seon.
Hello, Chef On.
How are you feeling these days?
I'm well. Thanks for asking.
Tell me when and how many people
will be coming.
I'll see what I can do.
I was going to visit the restaurant
tomorrow to thank you in person.
Please come by tomorrow.
Are you running late?
Yes, a little bit.
I was spending time with Mother.
"Mother"?
Have you given up on your career?
You can't waste time hanging out
with Jeong-seon's mom now.
I am working.
Don't scold me like that.
You have to do your best
so that I can feel good when I beat you.
But look at you. You're de-motivating me.
You're so head over heels for a guy.
Get a hold of yourself.
Aren't you in love with Won-jun?
Why are you bringing him up?
Su-jeong is so cool.
How can she be like that?
I mean,
I hated you when I liked Jeong-seon.
I thought it was your fault
that he didn't love me.
But you know what?
Su-jeong only looks at Won-jun
and goes straight to him.
I think I love Won-jun.
I feel like he should meet a good woman.
Love is
not about two good people coming together.
It's about two people who are in love
coming together.
Do you know
how many episodes I've written?
How much work have you gotten done?
You don't have time to talk about love
right now.
Yes, I do.
Love and careers go hand in hand.
Although I'm still going through
trial and error.
They aren't giving us anything extra.
I guess you have no influence here.
It's not that. They're just busy.
They didn't charge us last time, remember?
Do you think that's easy?
They did it because it was me.
Let's just leave.
Excuse me, ma'am.
You forgot to pay.
Don't you know who I am?
I do.
And you're treating me like this?
For today's meal, the meal
from the last time, and the wine,
your total comes to 554,000 won.
TOTAL: 554,000 WON
You won't regret this?
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
You'll find out soon enough.
Let's not focus all our energy
on casting a top star.
Let's go with someone
who suits the character and wants the job.
After checking who is available,
I think that's how it'll have to be.
Director Min got Seol Min-joo
for Hong-a's drama.
Who told you?
Even Hong-a doesn't know that.
It looks like
you tell Gyeong everything first.
-No, it's not that.
-Keep it that way.
Tell Gyeong everything first.
I can just hear it from her.
HIGH SOCIETY
You're diligent. You wrote eight episodes.
Stop marveling at my work
and get your work done properly.
Didn't you hear that I got Seol Min-joo?
I told everyone.
No, I didn't.
Why am I the last person to hear this?
This is so frustrating.
Do you really have to
nitpick about everything?
Are you talking to me like this
because you managed to get Seol Min-joo?
She said yes because she trusts me,
not because of your script.
You should thank me.
All right, thank you.
Hello.
I enjoyed the script.
I want Min-joo to be in Ms. Lee's drama.
Mr. Kim, you have a good eye.
Please have a seat.
Why does Mr. Park want to see us?
He wants to talk about the casting.
Didn't you hear?
I did, but Mr. Park and you
have a special relationship.
He doesn't listen to me anymore.
It's surprising
that he used to listen to you.
Goodness.
I have good news.
Seol Min-joo's boss was here earlier.
I had given him the script for
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
And?
She'll play Yeon-woo.
Really?
I heard she had agreed
to be in Hong-a's drama.
I-bok said that he managed to cast her.
What's going on, Mr. Park?
I heard from Seol Min-joo
that she wants to work with me
but that her boss prefers
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
Are you trying to cut in line?
That's not what you said earlier.
My everything depends on this drama.
How could you steal my actress?
I don't know anything about this.
If you say you don't know,
does that make it okay?
Mr. Park, then did you steal Seol Min-joo
to make sure Hyeon-soo's drama does well?
Watch what you say, Ms. Ji.
Let's get this straight so that--
Director Min cast Seol Min-joo for
my drama.
But she hasn't signed the contract yet,
and her boss wants her to be in
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
We're talking about Seol Min-joo here.
Why would she listen to him?
She's not as popular as she used to be.
She's had a number of failures.
She won't be able to decide on her own.
She said that herself and backed out.
Mr. Park, you can't do this.
You need to support us.
The actress wants to be in our drama.
A hit drama always has actors
who want to be in it.
Not always.
We weren't thinking of casting
Seol Min-joo as Yeon-woo.
She fits the character perfectly.
How come you haven't considered her?
Aren't you being too naive?
We don't care about casting top stars.
We decided to choose
good actors who fit the characters.
Good call. You always carry through
once you make a decision.
Her decision isn't the final call.
All of us need to come to an agreement,
and I'll make the final decision.
The casting stuff is fine.
Do something about the cameras.
We already talked about that.
All right.
I've decided.
Nice. Well done, Director Min.
My, it feels good to be complimented.
Ms. Ji, let's make this work.
We're doing well enough.
You're such a downer.
I only meant well.
Are you going to keep this up?
You're so mean to me. You'd better
remember who you're dealing with.
Director Min was so mean to you,
and yet he can't even speak up
in front of Hong-a.
They're like a dog and his owner,
not a director and a writer.
I know, right? He's kind of cute
when he's intimidated.
Was he always like that?
It's all relative.
I mean, look at us. Would I ever be
intimidated by anyone else?
-Yes, you would.
-Hyeon-soo, you're the best.
Stop making fun of me, you two.
Can't you two just decide
whether or not you're going to date?
You guys are killing me.
-We're dating.
-We're not dating.
Gosh, will they ever come to an agreement?
Chef On Jeong-seon
sent these for you, sir.
I know it's a bit late,
but happy 39th birthday.
From On Jeong-seon,
whose name exudes warmth.
LEE HYEON-SOO
JEONG-SEON
Hey, Jeong-seon.
What are you up to?
I'm working. I'm busy.
We have to finish
the casting by next week,
and we have a read-through
the following week.
-So we can't meet today?
-No.
I might have to work all night.
I may still be here in the morning.
-Have you eaten yet?
-Sort of.
You have to eat at least.
Try to eat proper meals, okay?
Jeong-seon.
I'm here to cheer you up.
I'm happy to see you.
But I only have about an hour.
That's more than enough.
Let's go up.
What's your mother up to now?
She went home.
It'll be uncomfortable for her
to stay with me.
I think
she needs to be at ease
for you to be able to relax.
She's in this with us, you know.
"Us"?
Yes, us.
After hanging out with your mother,
I learned that she has
a great fashion sense and good taste.
She's also crafty.
She can cook, arrange flowers,
and even make clothes.
Flowers would be
the most doable one realistically.
What do you mean?
I think she should do it for a living.
It's a waste of talent.
But the thing is,
it's hard for people to change.
I mean, that's what happened to us.
We met again after missing each other
for a long time,
but we had to go our separate ways
for a while.
But it didn't take long for us
to come back to each other.
She can do it too.
Eat first.
You don't want to hear it?
By the way, your mother is coming
to the restaurant tomorrow.
I heard. I'll take her.
Try this one.
-Is it good?
-Yes.
Why are you copying me?
I'm just doing what I want to do.
Why do you like me?
You said I wear glasses
and that I'm not your type.
I don't know.
Why don't you?
I know the reason.
How do you know?
Even I don't know the reason.
It's because I'm so pretty.
Gosh, don't do that.
You're not exactly pretty.
I want men to like me for that reason.
In my opinion, it's least calculating
to like someone for their looks.
Do you want to be loved unconditionally?
You're such a baby, aren't you?
What are you talking about?
I've been married and divorced.
Do you know what that means?
It means that I've tried.
I tried to love even though it'd hurt me.
But you just want to flirt.
Are you only going to eat sweets
all your life?
But I don't want to date you.
Do whatever you want.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat something.
What a strange way to ask someone out.
All right.
We'll flirt and eat together,
but we won't date.
What do you want to eat?
Pork rib hangover soup.
Sounds good.
Were you surprised
that I wanted to meet up?
Yes, I wasn't expecting it.
How's Won-jun doing?
Why are you asking me?
You can contact him directly.
Please be good to him.
I put him through such an ordeal
when he used to like me.
From now on, I won't bother him.
You don't have to worry about me anymore.
We're not
seeing each other anymore.
When he received the call
that you were in an accident,
he ran out in a hurry.
Had he given it some thought,
he would've been able to tell
whether you were lying or not.
What's that supposed to mean?
He ran out to go and see you
because of a 0.1 percent chance
that you might be hurt
regardless of whether it was a lie or not.
Everyone has a past relationship
they think about from time to time.
But if you run to that person,
then it means it's still ongoing.
Won-jun.
Hey.
Are you still mad at me?
No. You didn't get hurt, so it's fine.
How about a cup of tea?
No, I want to go home and rest.
But I'm asking you to have tea with me.
I'm tired.
We're here.
It looks so delicious.
I should go say hello.
Belated congratulations
on getting a Michelin star.
Thank you.
You always cook for me.
I'll invite you over
to our place next time.
My mom got this for you.
I got you gloves and hand cream.
You're always using your hands,
so you should take good care of them.
You got me just what I needed.
Hello, Mother.
I didn't know you'd be here.
These flowers are so beautiful.
I want to flaunt my skills a little.
It'll make me feel better.
Mom.
Yes, Jeong-seon.
Hyeon-soo's mother is here.
I know. I can see that too.
Hello.
I heard you had some health problems,
but you look great now.
Thank you.
I owe Chef On a lot.
He took such great care of me
when I was hospitalized.
I only did what I could.
You don't owe me anything.
I want a cup of tea too.
Why follow me in here
and pretend to be helping out?
Oh, was it that obvious?
It's unfair that I have to be the one
stuck between those two.
Let's go together.
Okay.
I see that you didn't bring
your husband with you today.
He had to go to work.
He used up all of his vacation days
to look after me at the hospital.
Many people have told me
that it's much better to hire a caregiver.
I guess you didn't feel that way.
My husband and I are best friends.
I'm most comfortable when I'm with him.
Why didn't you come
with your fiancé today?
That fiancé of mine flew away.
What does that mean?
Birds can fly, you know.
But a fiancé refers to a man
you're engaged to, not a bird.
That's just a literal translation.
My life has been full of ups and downs,
and I've concluded
that it's normal
for birds to fly
and that I shouldn't stop them
when they do fly away.
I see. You're very philosophical.
I understand what you mean.
I'm glad you understand.
It wasn't hard to understand.
Chef On seems very gentle and warm.
Many people say that about me as well.
Who does Hyeon-soo take after?
She has a great personality.
She takes after me, of course.
I see.
She likes Jeong-seon very much.
I know. She even asked him first
to move in together.
She did?
I didn't know that.
You didn't know?
I thought you knew.
Then why aren't they living together now?
Chef On must be preparing
something else along with the tea.
Here's your delicious tea.
Please let me know
if you'd like anything else.
No, thank you. I'm fine.
He's such a caring person.
He's the best husband material there is.
Jeong-seon's father is a dentist.
I see.
That's a great job.
I reviewed the contract
for Chef On's fridge advertisement.
I also reviewed the other contracts.
Please put them on my desk.
Sir.
Mail that was sent to your home address
has been returned.
I moved.
-I'll give you my new address.
-Okay.
COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
TAEYANG ELECTRONICS
COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
Hey.
-Do you want something to drink?
-No, have a seat.
It's a contract
for a fridge advertisement.
The legal team reviewed it already.
Take a look.
If there are no problems, we'll proceed.
Okay.
Of all the requests you've received,
I suggest you do the special lecture.
Special lecture?
It's for a talk show on JK,
and it's geared toward teenagers.
Your success story will be
a good influence on them.
It'll be good,
not only for your public image,
but also for Good Soup.
I like that it's not a cooking show.
You seem positive about it,
so I'll go ahead with it.
-Where are you headed now?
-Home.
Do you still eat alone these days?
Old habits die hard.
I'm off.
-You're back.
-Yes.
Did you get everything done today?
Yes, I met Chef On.
And by chance or fate,
I met his mom there too.
-What about Hyeon-soo?
-She's like her daughter now.
She now cares more about his mom than me.
Of course, she has to.
Do you think they'll get married?
If you think about their age, they should.
But it seems like
he has a complicated family history.
When I think about that,
I just want them to date casually.
How did you make this?
I have a good eye for things like this.
Did your mother get home safely?
Yes, I saw her leave in a taxi.
That was the second time
you asked me the question.
I'm just happy
you didn't leave with your mom
and that you're staying here with me.
I hope this doesn't sound rude in any way.
I think you have
such an adorable personality.
You can say that because you haven't
fully experienced my personality yet.
I think you also have
a great fashion sense.
Your accessories, clothes, and shoes
look so good together.
You talk so sweetly.
I am sweet.
It's nice to have a job
that you do with your own name.
You can do it too.
What would I do?
I can't work for someone else.
Then you can start your own business.
You're still here.
You said you were busy,
so I thought you would've left by now.
Jeong-seon, what do you think about me
opening a flower shop?
Why out of the blue?
It's not out of the blue.
I've been thinking about opening a shop.
I can't live off your money forever.
Hyeon-soo also thinks that I'll do great.
Yes.
Not everyone can start a business.
You can't do it.
You'll stress me out if it goes belly up,
so just don't do anything.
Don't do anything? Am I dead or what?
Should I just stay still as if I'm dead?
I should get going.
I'll see you next time, Mother.
Even Hyeon-soo believes in me.
You are my son.
Why can't you believe in me?
Let's talk later.
Are you embarrassed
to talk about this in front of her?
Take care.
You should take her home.
Are you angry?
I'm just a little upset.
Why is my mom like that?
She has to live her life too.
It's not like
she hasn't been living her life.
She's been living her life
for other people, not herself.
Don't you think you should support her
if she wants to do something?
It's hard for me to do that.
You two are more like a dad and daughter
than a mom and son.
You're like a dad
trying to stop his daughter
from becoming independent
because he's worried.
"Daddy will take care of everything
for you. You just stay home."
Do you think she's never had
her own business?
She has tried.
She's too gullible, and she lends money
as easily as she borrows it.
I know that it's going to fail.
No, not this time.
She's going to have a reliable customer.
"A reliable customer"? Who?
Good Soup.
Did you forget about the research I did
on Good Soup?
I know everything.
Su-jeong takes care of flowers
for all the tables at the moment.
She has too much to do though.
Help your mom
so that she can stand on her own two feet.
You'll feel better when she becomes happy.
Don't you think it's cruel
to tell her not to do anything
when she's still young?
Don't judge
the days to come
by the days that you have lived.
-Come in.
-All right.
This is what your mom got me.
It's nice.
You just brought me home,
and you're here again now.
I keep wanting to see you.
Come on in.
Where's Gyeong?
I'll be in my room.
He'll leave soon.
Do I have to leave soon?
The read-through is next week.
I need to finish editing
the fourth episode by this week.
And yet you spent the whole evening
with my mom?
Yes, you could say that.
It's a small step,
but I was able to take it nonetheless,
thanks to you.
Thanks for stopping by.
Do you know how your name is saved
on my phone?
How?
As "Lee Hyeon-soo."
It's still just "Lee Hyeon-soo"?
I'll protect you
until the end of time
so that you never lose yourself.
I didn't know that saving my full name
on your phone had such a meaning.
JEONG-SEON
That's when I realized
that Jeong-seon and I
had different ways of loving each other.
At 2 p.m. today,
there's a read-through for
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
I'm aware.
Then at 5 p.m., there's a read-through
for Ms. Ji's drama, High Society.
It's cold.
Why are you waiting outside
when it's this chilly?
Hello, Chef On.
You didn't have to pick us up,
but I'm so happy to see you.
I'm happy that you're happy.
You must be really happy.
But we're headed to a read-through
for her drama, not yours.
That's why I'm happy.
This reminds me of the trip to Yeosu.
The three of us went there together,
you know.
Put on some music, please.
Sure.
Turn it off.
Okay.
Hyeon-soo!
What? I wanted to try
what you did last time.
I was jealous back then.
All right.
Today is your day, so I'll let it slide.
-Hey, Jeong-u.
-Hey.
By the way, you really can't do something
about the cameras?
Just go.
It's Director Kim. He must be here.
Where are you?
At the cafe?
Where will it be held?
Probably on the second floor. Let's go.
Hey, guys.
-Hey.
-Hello, Mr. Park.
Hello.
-Here, sir.
-Thanks.
You guys should head upstairs.
What about you?
I'm just stopping by.
Ms. Ji also has a read-through today.
I have to go there.
I saw everyone I needed to see anyway.
Hong-a's read-through is today too?
Your schedules keep clashing.
It's making things hard for me.
I'm off.
-Did you have a good sleep?
-Yes, I did.
-How are you feeling today?
-Great.
-That's good to hear.
-You look stunning today.
Gosh, stop it.
-There you are.
-Hey, Hyeon-soo.
-Hello, Ms. Lee.
-My gosh, hello.
Ms. Lee.
I really enjoyed your last drama.
-That medical drama.
-Yes.
READ-THROUGH
Have you seen Jeong-u?
He went to the read-through
for Hong-a's drama.
That makes no sense.
Why did he leave for a read-through
that starts at 5 p.m.?
JUN-HA
What's up?
Why didn't you come inside?
I reserved a restaurant for everyone.
You guys can eat there afterwards.
As the CEO of the production company,
you should give us
some words of encouragement.
I sent an employee there on my behalf.
Let's talk later.
Wait, Jeong-u. Hello?
What was that about?
Goodness.
-I'll be off, then.
-You can come in and watch.
No, it's okay. I've done my duty.
I'll be back after I fulfill my duty.
-You should get back.
-Okay.
You should go first. I'll see you leave.
Okay. I should hurry up and leave
so that you can get back.
I'm off.
Love is
not about two good people coming together.
It's about two people who are in love
coming together.
Hello.
CHOI WON-JUN
Ms. Ji, you're too pretty to be a writer.
Goodness. If you go a little further,
it can be considered sexual harassment.
My goodness, it's time we became close.
Hey, Mr. Park.
-Mr. Park.
-Hello.
-Congratulations, Ms. Ji.
-Thank you.
-Why are you waiting out here?
-Oh, she insisted
on going inside with you.
That's why we waited.
I'm the only one
who cares for you, aren't I?
Let's just say that today.
-Let's go in.
-Okay.
You're here.
Hyeon-soo must've been happy
to have you there.
Did you watch the read-through?
Did you see the actors too?
One question at a time, please.
Hong-a's read-through is also today.
Have you heard from her?
It'll be hard for her to contact me now.
Were you harsh to her?
Yes, I was harsh.
I didn't want to see her again.
It's not like you can control
wanting to see her.
Exactly.
I guess I can't hide it.
Love is too cruel.
I keep acting like Hong-a
since things aren't going my way.

COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
I'm seeing you often these days.
I want to drink coffee that you make.
You're making me work. What a bother.
I'll sign the contract.
Set up a meeting for me.
All right.
Did you take a look
at the lecture proposal?
Yes, I did. I'll do that too.
It's weird to see you being so obedient.
Wasn't I always obedient to you?
Think again carefully.
Right, I wasn't.
I won't be able to sleep
if I drink coffee now.
Then why are you drinking it?
I wanted to try doing something
you enjoy with you.
Hey, stop that.
That totally made me cringe.
Here.
What's this?
You can come anytime. It's hard to get
a reservation these days.
I'm cringing,
picturing you making this for me.
I was cringing like this
as I was making it.
-Right?
-Yes.
-Good work.
-Good work.
-Great work, everyone.
-All right, team.
-We can do it!
-We can do it!
-Thank you.
-Bye.
-See you.
-Bye.
Gosh, it's cold.
Why did Mr. Park leave so early?
No idea. How would I know?
But I can still speculate.
What?
Why did you bring your boyfriend along
on a day like this?
Because it's an important day for me.
My gosh, I miss him again.
-Goodness, enough.
-Hyeon-soo.
I did a lot of bad stuff to him.
That's why.
You repent for way too long
when you get into a relationship.
-What's the problem this time?
-What's the problem this time?
I'm scared.
You've pushed me away once.
Who says you can't do it again?
He was right about that
in the end.
LEE HYEON-SOO
Hey.
Did you get home safely?
Of course.
Did you call to ask what I'm up to?
No, I called to ask
if we can meet tomorrow.
Would that be okay for you?
Aren't you really busy?
I'm going to see you
no matter how busy I am.
I have something to say to you.
There's something I need to report to you
regarding Chef On.
CHEF ON IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
AT GOOD SOUP
CHEF ON IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
AT GOOD SOUP
-You should wear rubber gloves.
-Okay.
-Let's turn down the heat a little.
-Okay.
"Chef On Is Nowhere to Be Found
at Good Soup.
They made basic mistakes
such as failing to grill steak properly."
THEY MADE BASIC MISTAKES
SUCH AS FAILING TO GRILL STEAK PROPERLY
"They couldn't even grill
a medium-rare steak properly.
I wonder how that restaurant
managed to get a Michelin star.
I question the competence
of the line cooks as well."
It was written by a famous blogger.
Has this already been posted?
No, not yet. It's going to get published
on a daily newspaper.
How badly could this article affect
Good Soup?
It could be as bad as the allergy incident
that happened in the past.
Show this to our legal team
and schedule a meeting with this blogger.
I wonder if this looks okay.
It's a small step,
but I was able to take it nonetheless,
thanks to you.
I'll protect you
until the end of time
so that you never lose yourself.
My gosh.
What did the legal team say?
They said we should settle with her.
-Have you scheduled a meeting?
-No, she's being very stubborn.
Let's go to Good Soup first.
-Have you eaten?
-Yes, of course.
-Then do you want some tea?
-Sure.
What did you decide to do with your mom?
I'll have to see her and talk to her.
Talking to you about my mom
makes me feel like we're a family.
Does that mean you're comfortable with me?
What did you want to tell me?
Don't beat around the bush.
You really are showing up anytime
since you have a free pass.
We're on our break,
so the kitchen is closed at the moment.
Do you think I'm here to eat?
Shouldn't you be working
instead of hanging out here?
I need to take breaks too, you know.
She isn't your employee.
Why are you grilling her?
You stay out of this.
It's none of your business.
You have to nail at least one,
between viewership ratings
and artistic quality.
Okay, I'll remember that.
Good answer.
I'd better go now.
Why did you come
if you were going to leave right away?
This is my favorite guy
in the whole world.
And this is my favorite woman.
I'm with two of my most
favorite people now. This is great.
I stopped by because I was in the area,
so don't mind me.
Just continue along.
Are you really leaving like this?
The break is almost over,
so we should talk here.
What is it about? I'm scared.
Don't be scared.
It's time for Lee Hyeon-soo's
self-reflection.
That sounds very grand.
In order for us to move forward,
we need to clean up the past.
Yes, that is necessary
for us to move forward.
You see,
because I'm older than you,
I thought I was more experienced than you
in all aspects.
I received a lot of love growing up,
so I thought I knew how to give love.
You do know how to give love.
But I was wrong.
Do you know what your name is saved as
on my phone?
"Jeong-seon" with a heart.
What about it?
You have my full name, "Lee Hyeon-soo."
You love me,
and you tried to keep me as who I am.
But
I think I was in love with
the feeling of love.
I thought a moth flying into the flame
was love.
I thought I could even die for it.
And I liked that about you.
In order to keep the man, On Jeong-seon,
as On Jeong-seon,
I had to protect you,
watch you,
and wait for you.
Take this,
and give me the ring
that you gave me before.
You know what a ring signifies, right?
Subtitle translation by Blake Lee
Out of the things I own,
if there is something
that suits someone else better,
it's hard for me to keep it
because it reminds me of that person.
That still sounds so corny.
You have to get a beating from me today.
Will that settle my debt?
Do you want to get punched first
or save it for after the talk?
I'll hear what you have to say
and try to avoid the punch.
You didn't even know it was my birthday.
Do you want to return
the birthday punch I gave you?
I made your 39th birthday very memorable.
I'll never forget your birthday.
Do you know what I liked about you?
How you never got shaken up.
I wanted to see
if I could shake you all up.
I thought
that you might change
if you got shaken up.
I admired you
for not getting hurt
even when you got rejected.
I feel like I'm more myself now
than I've ever been.
That's how it is.
After being shaken up,
you either become better
or get screwed.
I tried to find out the essential truth
about the things that I love.
Hyeon-soo
never got swayed by me.
Congratulations.
She chose you,
and I lost to that love.
I'll see you at the office.
I'll head there right after I meet Mother.
"Mother"?
It feels awkward to call her like that.
Then
don't call her like that.
You're not even married yet.
Don't you think
you're getting too deeply involved?
I don't know what the future
has in store for me,
but I'll follow my heart for now.
What's up?
Are you serious?
You have to tell me
what happened with your mother.
I wasn't sure how to bring it up.
I've been worried.
I wanted to call your mother,
but I was hesitant.
I thought you might not like it.
I'm still not good at this.
I hesitated to tell you
because I didn't want to worry you.
I guess I should've called you
and told you that I hesitated.
That's why I called your mother first.
I thought it might feel like nagging
if I asked you about it.
Did I do a good job?
Yes, you did.
We should've been like this sooner.
Then we wouldn't have fought.
We can be like this now because we fought.
The heartaches during the two weeks
that we were broken up were worse
than the pain I felt
during the five years that we were apart.
Hello.
Are you going to greet me like that
every time you see me?
Have you eaten yet?
Yes, I have.
I want to make myself feel better.
What would you like to do?
Would you do it with me?
I have two hours.
-It's my favorite color.
-It looks great on you.
-Here.
-Okay.
Mother.
Are you going to buy all of these?
Just call me by my first name
when we're out.
Okay, Yeong-mi.
Yeong-mi.
Have you found anything you like?
No, not yet. There's nothing pretty.
This season's designs aren't that great.
-Let's go.
-Okay, Yeong-mi.
Thank you. I'm sorry.
Did you see those men looking at me?
Yes, they were looking at you.
Right?
Men just love me.
It's always been like this.
I like hanging out with you
because you're so pretty.
You're pretty, too.
Will you head home now?
Today, even shopping isn't fun.
Sir, Ms. Lee Hyeon-soo's mother
is waiting for you inside.
Did I come too early?
It's totally fine. Please have a seat.
I made a new batch of citron tea.
I thought of you and brought some for you.
Thank you.
Thank you for being so good to Hyeon-soo.
No problem.
Please take good care of her.
Isn't it wonderful to be working
in the same field?
Hyeon-soo is honest and loyal.
Work-wise,
she'll be a good partner to you.
Yes.
Welcome.
We enjoyed it last time, so we're back.
I see.
Aren't you getting more customers
these days?
Yes, we are.
I wrote a nice review.
Thank you.
Other restaurants usually pamper me
in return.
All right, two more lunch courses.
-Yes, Chef.
-Ha-seong.
-Is the ceviche ready yet?
-Coming right up!
Chef, the order that just came through
is for the blogger
who didn't pay last time.
What should we do?
We should go by the book.
Got it.
There.
GOOD SOUP
ADD CONTAC
Thank you for calling Good Soup.
I'd like to make
a reservation for two for tomorrow.
I'm sorry. We'll be closed tomorrow.
And we're actually fully booked
until the end of next week.
Oh, I see.
Actually, I'd like to meet with Chef On.
That's why I was
thinking of having a meal there.
Is that right?
May I have your name, please?
Min-ho, pass me the pomegranate.
-It's not done yet?
-It's done, Chef.
-It's all done, Chef.
-Okay.
Chef, Ms. Lee's mother called.
PARK MI-NA
Hello?
Hello, this is On Jeong-seon.
Hello, Chef On.
How are you feeling these days?
I'm well. Thanks for asking.
Tell me when and how many people
will be coming.
I'll see what I can do.
I was going to visit the restaurant
tomorrow to thank you in person.
Please come by tomorrow.
Are you running late?
Yes, a little bit.
I was spending time with Mother.
"Mother"?
Have you given up on your career?
You can't waste time hanging out
with Jeong-seon's mom now.
I am working.
Don't scold me like that.
You have to do your best
so that I can feel good when I beat you.
But look at you. You're de-motivating me.
You're so head over heels for a guy.
Get a hold of yourself.
Aren't you in love with Won-jun?
Why are you bringing him up?
Su-jeong is so cool.
How can she be like that?
I mean,
I hated you when I liked Jeong-seon.
I thought it was your fault
that he didn't love me.
But you know what?
Su-jeong only looks at Won-jun
and goes straight to him.
I think I love Won-jun.
I feel like he should meet a good woman.
Love is
not about two good people coming together.
It's about two people who are in love
coming together.
Do you know
how many episodes I've written?
How much work have you gotten done?
You don't have time to talk about love
right now.
Yes, I do.
Love and careers go hand in hand.
Although I'm still going through
trial and error.
They aren't giving us anything extra.
I guess you have no influence here.
It's not that. They're just busy.
They didn't charge us last time, remember?
Do you think that's easy?
They did it because it was me.
Let's just leave.
Excuse me, ma'am.
You forgot to pay.
Don't you know who I am?
I do.
And you're treating me like this?
For today's meal, the meal
from the last time, and the wine,
your total comes to 554,000 won.
TOTAL: 554,000 WON
You won't regret this?
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
You'll find out soon enough.
Let's not focus all our energy
on casting a top star.
Let's go with someone
who suits the character and wants the job.
After checking who is available,
I think that's how it'll have to be.
Director Min got Seol Min-joo
for Hong-a's drama.
Who told you?
Even Hong-a doesn't know that.
It looks like
you tell Gyeong everything first.
-No, it's not that.
-Keep it that way.
Tell Gyeong everything first.
I can just hear it from her.
HIGH SOCIETY
You're diligent. You wrote eight episodes.
Stop marveling at my work
and get your work done properly.
Didn't you hear that I got Seol Min-joo?
I told everyone.
No, I didn't.
Why am I the last person to hear this?
This is so frustrating.
Do you really have to
nitpick about everything?
Are you talking to me like this
because you managed to get Seol Min-joo?
She said yes because she trusts me,
not because of your script.
You should thank me.
All right, thank you.
Hello.
I enjoyed the script.
I want Min-joo to be in Ms. Lee's drama.
Mr. Kim, you have a good eye.
Please have a seat.
Why does Mr. Park want to see us?
He wants to talk about the casting.
Didn't you hear?
I did, but Mr. Park and you
have a special relationship.
He doesn't listen to me anymore.
It's surprising
that he used to listen to you.
Goodness.
I have good news.
Seol Min-joo's boss was here earlier.
I had given him the script for
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
And?
She'll play Yeon-woo.
Really?
I heard she had agreed
to be in Hong-a's drama.
I-bok said that he managed to cast her.
What's going on, Mr. Park?
I heard from Seol Min-joo
that she wants to work with me
but that her boss prefers
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
Are you trying to cut in line?
That's not what you said earlier.
My everything depends on this drama.
How could you steal my actress?
I don't know anything about this.
If you say you don't know,
does that make it okay?
Mr. Park, then did you steal Seol Min-joo
to make sure Hyeon-soo's drama does well?
Watch what you say, Ms. Ji.
Let's get this straight so that--
Director Min cast Seol Min-joo for
my drama.
But she hasn't signed the contract yet,
and her boss wants her to be in
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
We're talking about Seol Min-joo here.
Why would she listen to him?
She's not as popular as she used to be.
She's had a number of failures.
She won't be able to decide on her own.
She said that herself and backed out.
Mr. Park, you can't do this.
You need to support us.
The actress wants to be in our drama.
A hit drama always has actors
who want to be in it.
Not always.
We weren't thinking of casting
Seol Min-joo as Yeon-woo.
She fits the character perfectly.
How come you haven't considered her?
Aren't you being too naive?
We don't care about casting top stars.
We decided to choose
good actors who fit the characters.
Good call. You always carry through
once you make a decision.
Her decision isn't the final call.
All of us need to come to an agreement,
and I'll make the final decision.
The casting stuff is fine.
Do something about the cameras.
We already talked about that.
All right.
I've decided.
Nice. Well done, Director Min.
My, it feels good to be complimented.
Ms. Ji, let's make this work.
We're doing well enough.
You're such a downer.
I only meant well.
Are you going to keep this up?
You're so mean to me. You'd better
remember who you're dealing with.
Director Min was so mean to you,
and yet he can't even speak up
in front of Hong-a.
They're like a dog and his owner,
not a director and a writer.
I know, right? He's kind of cute
when he's intimidated.
Was he always like that?
It's all relative.
I mean, look at us. Would I ever be
intimidated by anyone else?
-Yes, you would.
-Hyeon-soo, you're the best.
Stop making fun of me, you two.
Can't you two just decide
whether or not you're going to date?
You guys are killing me.
-We're dating.
-We're not dating.
Gosh, will they ever come to an agreement?
Chef On Jeong-seon
sent these for you, sir.
I know it's a bit late,
but happy 39th birthday.
From On Jeong-seon,
whose name exudes warmth.
LEE HYEON-SOO
JEONG-SEON
Hey, Jeong-seon.
What are you up to?
I'm working. I'm busy.
We have to finish
the casting by next week,
and we have a read-through
the following week.
-So we can't meet today?
-No.
I might have to work all night.
I may still be here in the morning.
-Have you eaten yet?
-Sort of.
You have to eat at least.
Try to eat proper meals, okay?
Jeong-seon.
I'm here to cheer you up.
I'm happy to see you.
But I only have about an hour.
That's more than enough.
Let's go up.
What's your mother up to now?
She went home.
It'll be uncomfortable for her
to stay with me.
I think
she needs to be at ease
for you to be able to relax.
She's in this with us, you know.
"Us"?
Yes, us.
After hanging out with your mother,
I learned that she has
a great fashion sense and good taste.
She's also crafty.
She can cook, arrange flowers,
and even make clothes.
Flowers would be
the most doable one realistically.
What do you mean?
I think she should do it for a living.
It's a waste of talent.
But the thing is,
it's hard for people to change.
I mean, that's what happened to us.
We met again after missing each other
for a long time,
but we had to go our separate ways
for a while.
But it didn't take long for us
to come back to each other.
She can do it too.
Eat first.
You don't want to hear it?
By the way, your mother is coming
to the restaurant tomorrow.
I heard. I'll take her.
Try this one.
-Is it good?
-Yes.
Why are you copying me?
I'm just doing what I want to do.
Why do you like me?
You said I wear glasses
and that I'm not your type.
I don't know.
Why don't you?
I know the reason.
How do you know?
Even I don't know the reason.
It's because I'm so pretty.
Gosh, don't do that.
You're not exactly pretty.
I want men to like me for that reason.
In my opinion, it's least calculating
to like someone for their looks.
Do you want to be loved unconditionally?
You're such a baby, aren't you?
What are you talking about?
I've been married and divorced.
Do you know what that means?
It means that I've tried.
I tried to love even though it'd hurt me.
But you just want to flirt.
Are you only going to eat sweets
all your life?
But I don't want to date you.
Do whatever you want.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat something.
What a strange way to ask someone out.
All right.
We'll flirt and eat together,
but we won't date.
What do you want to eat?
Pork rib hangover soup.
Sounds good.
Were you surprised
that I wanted to meet up?
Yes, I wasn't expecting it.
How's Won-jun doing?
Why are you asking me?
You can contact him directly.
Please be good to him.
I put him through such an ordeal
when he used to like me.
From now on, I won't bother him.
You don't have to worry about me anymore.
We're not
seeing each other anymore.
When he received the call
that you were in an accident,
he ran out in a hurry.
Had he given it some thought,
he would've been able to tell
whether you were lying or not.
What's that supposed to mean?
He ran out to go and see you
because of a 0.1 percent chance
that you might be hurt
regardless of whether it was a lie or not.
Everyone has a past relationship
they think about from time to time.
But if you run to that person,
then it means it's still ongoing.
Won-jun.
Hey.
Are you still mad at me?
No. You didn't get hurt, so it's fine.
How about a cup of tea?
No, I want to go home and rest.
But I'm asking you to have tea with me.
I'm tired.
We're here.
It looks so delicious.
I should go say hello.
Belated congratulations
on getting a Michelin star.
Thank you.
You always cook for me.
I'll invite you over
to our place next time.
My mom got this for you.
I got you gloves and hand cream.
You're always using your hands,
so you should take good care of them.
You got me just what I needed.
Hello, Mother.
I didn't know you'd be here.
These flowers are so beautiful.
I want to flaunt my skills a little.
It'll make me feel better.
Mom.
Yes, Jeong-seon.
Hyeon-soo's mother is here.
I know. I can see that too.
Hello.
I heard you had some health problems,
but you look great now.
Thank you.
I owe Chef On a lot.
He took such great care of me
when I was hospitalized.
I only did what I could.
You don't owe me anything.
I want a cup of tea too.
Why follow me in here
and pretend to be helping out?
Oh, was it that obvious?
It's unfair that I have to be the one
stuck between those two.
Let's go together.
Okay.
I see that you didn't bring
your husband with you today.
He had to go to work.
He used up all of his vacation days
to look after me at the hospital.
Many people have told me
that it's much better to hire a caregiver.
I guess you didn't feel that way.
My husband and I are best friends.
I'm most comfortable when I'm with him.
Why didn't you come
with your fiancé today?
That fiancé of mine flew away.
What does that mean?
Birds can fly, you know.
But a fiancé refers to a man
you're engaged to, not a bird.
That's just a literal translation.
My life has been full of ups and downs,
and I've concluded
that it's normal
for birds to fly
and that I shouldn't stop them
when they do fly away.
I see. You're very philosophical.
I understand what you mean.
I'm glad you understand.
It wasn't hard to understand.
Chef On seems very gentle and warm.
Many people say that about me as well.
Who does Hyeon-soo take after?
She has a great personality.
She takes after me, of course.
I see.
She likes Jeong-seon very much.
I know. She even asked him first
to move in together.
She did?
I didn't know that.
You didn't know?
I thought you knew.
Then why aren't they living together now?
Chef On must be preparing
something else along with the tea.
Here's your delicious tea.
Please let me know
if you'd like anything else.
No, thank you. I'm fine.
He's such a caring person.
He's the best husband material there is.
Jeong-seon's father is a dentist.
I see.
That's a great job.
I reviewed the contract
for Chef On's fridge advertisement.
I also reviewed the other contracts.
Please put them on my desk.
Sir.
Mail that was sent to your home address
has been returned.
I moved.
-I'll give you my new address.
-Okay.
COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
TAEYANG ELECTRONICS
COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
Hey.
-Do you want something to drink?
-No, have a seat.
It's a contract
for a fridge advertisement.
The legal team reviewed it already.
Take a look.
If there are no problems, we'll proceed.
Okay.
Of all the requests you've received,
I suggest you do the special lecture.
Special lecture?
It's for a talk show on JK,
and it's geared toward teenagers.
Your success story will be
a good influence on them.
It'll be good,
not only for your public image,
but also for Good Soup.
I like that it's not a cooking show.
You seem positive about it,
so I'll go ahead with it.
-Where are you headed now?
-Home.
Do you still eat alone these days?
Old habits die hard.
I'm off.
-You're back.
-Yes.
Did you get everything done today?
Yes, I met Chef On.
And by chance or fate,
I met his mom there too.
-What about Hyeon-soo?
-She's like her daughter now.
She now cares more about his mom than me.
Of course, she has to.
Do you think they'll get married?
If you think about their age, they should.
But it seems like
he has a complicated family history.
When I think about that,
I just want them to date casually.
How did you make this?
I have a good eye for things like this.
Did your mother get home safely?
Yes, I saw her leave in a taxi.
That was the second time
you asked me the question.
I'm just happy
you didn't leave with your mom
and that you're staying here with me.
I hope this doesn't sound rude in any way.
I think you have
such an adorable personality.
You can say that because you haven't
fully experienced my personality yet.
I think you also have
a great fashion sense.
Your accessories, clothes, and shoes
look so good together.
You talk so sweetly.
I am sweet.
It's nice to have a job
that you do with your own name.
You can do it too.
What would I do?
I can't work for someone else.
Then you can start your own business.
You're still here.
You said you were busy,
so I thought you would've left by now.
Jeong-seon, what do you think about me
opening a flower shop?
Why out of the blue?
It's not out of the blue.
I've been thinking about opening a shop.
I can't live off your money forever.
Hyeon-soo also thinks that I'll do great.
Yes.
Not everyone can start a business.
You can't do it.
You'll stress me out if it goes belly up,
so just don't do anything.
Don't do anything? Am I dead or what?
Should I just stay still as if I'm dead?
I should get going.
I'll see you next time, Mother.
Even Hyeon-soo believes in me.
You are my son.
Why can't you believe in me?
Let's talk later.
Are you embarrassed
to talk about this in front of her?
Take care.
You should take her home.
Are you angry?
I'm just a little upset.
Why is my mom like that?
She has to live her life too.
It's not like
she hasn't been living her life.
She's been living her life
for other people, not herself.
Don't you think you should support her
if she wants to do something?
It's hard for me to do that.
You two are more like a dad and daughter
than a mom and son.
You're like a dad
trying to stop his daughter
from becoming independent
because he's worried.
"Daddy will take care of everything
for you. You just stay home."
Do you think she's never had
her own business?
She has tried.
She's too gullible, and she lends money
as easily as she borrows it.
I know that it's going to fail.
No, not this time.
She's going to have a reliable customer.
"A reliable customer"? Who?
Good Soup.
Did you forget about the research I did
on Good Soup?
I know everything.
Su-jeong takes care of flowers
for all the tables at the moment.
She has too much to do though.
Help your mom
so that she can stand on her own two feet.
You'll feel better when she becomes happy.
Don't you think it's cruel
to tell her not to do anything
when she's still young?
Don't judge
the days to come
by the days that you have lived.
-Come in.
-All right.
This is what your mom got me.
It's nice.
You just brought me home,
and you're here again now.
I keep wanting to see you.
Come on in.
Where's Gyeong?
I'll be in my room.
He'll leave soon.
Do I have to leave soon?
The read-through is next week.
I need to finish editing
the fourth episode by this week.
And yet you spent the whole evening
with my mom?
Yes, you could say that.
It's a small step,
but I was able to take it nonetheless,
thanks to you.
Thanks for stopping by.
Do you know how your name is saved
on my phone?
How?
As "Lee Hyeon-soo."
It's still just "Lee Hyeon-soo"?
I'll protect you
until the end of time
so that you never lose yourself.
I didn't know that saving my full name
on your phone had such a meaning.
JEONG-SEON
That's when I realized
that Jeong-seon and I
had different ways of loving each other.
At 2 p.m. today,
there's a read-through for
Kind Soup Never Answers His Phone.
I'm aware.
Then at 5 p.m., there's a read-through
for Ms. Ji's drama, High Society.
It's cold.
Why are you waiting outside
when it's this chilly?
Hello, Chef On.
You didn't have to pick us up,
but I'm so happy to see you.
I'm happy that you're happy.
You must be really happy.
But we're headed to a read-through
for her drama, not yours.
That's why I'm happy.
This reminds me of the trip to Yeosu.
The three of us went there together,
you know.
Put on some music, please.
Sure.
Turn it off.
Okay.
Hyeon-soo!
What? I wanted to try
what you did last time.
I was jealous back then.
All right.
Today is your day, so I'll let it slide.
-Hey, Jeong-u.
-Hey.
By the way, you really can't do something
about the cameras?
Just go.
It's Director Kim. He must be here.
Where are you?
At the cafe?
Where will it be held?
Probably on the second floor. Let's go.
Hey, guys.
-Hey.
-Hello, Mr. Park.
Hello.
-Here, sir.
-Thanks.
You guys should head upstairs.
What about you?
I'm just stopping by.
Ms. Ji also has a read-through today.
I have to go there.
I saw everyone I needed to see anyway.
Hong-a's read-through is today too?
Your schedules keep clashing.
It's making things hard for me.
I'm off.
-Did you have a good sleep?
-Yes, I did.
-How are you feeling today?
-Great.
-That's good to hear.
-You look stunning today.
Gosh, stop it.
-There you are.
-Hey, Hyeon-soo.
-Hello, Ms. Lee.
-My gosh, hello.
Ms. Lee.
I really enjoyed your last drama.
-That medical drama.
-Yes.
READ-THROUGH
Have you seen Jeong-u?
He went to the read-through
for Hong-a's drama.
That makes no sense.
Why did he leave for a read-through
that starts at 5 p.m.?
JUN-HA
What's up?
Why didn't you come inside?
I reserved a restaurant for everyone.
You guys can eat there afterwards.
As the CEO of the production company,
you should give us
some words of encouragement.
I sent an employee there on my behalf.
Let's talk later.
Wait, Jeong-u. Hello?
What was that about?
Goodness.
-I'll be off, then.
-You can come in and watch.
No, it's okay. I've done my duty.
I'll be back after I fulfill my duty.
-You should get back.
-Okay.
You should go first. I'll see you leave.
Okay. I should hurry up and leave
so that you can get back.
I'm off.
Love is
not about two good people coming together.
It's about two people who are in love
coming together.
Hello.
CHOI WON-JUN
Ms. Ji, you're too pretty to be a writer.
Goodness. If you go a little further,
it can be considered sexual harassment.
My goodness, it's time we became close.
Hey, Mr. Park.
-Mr. Park.
-Hello.
-Congratulations, Ms. Ji.
-Thank you.
-Why are you waiting out here?
-Oh, she insisted
on going inside with you.
That's why we waited.
I'm the only one
who cares for you, aren't I?
Let's just say that today.
-Let's go in.
-Okay.
You're here.
Hyeon-soo must've been happy
to have you there.
Did you watch the read-through?
Did you see the actors too?
One question at a time, please.
Hong-a's read-through is also today.
Have you heard from her?
It'll be hard for her to contact me now.
Were you harsh to her?
Yes, I was harsh.
I didn't want to see her again.
It's not like you can control
wanting to see her.
Exactly.
I guess I can't hide it.
Love is too cruel.
I keep acting like Hong-a
since things aren't going my way.
TAEYANG ELECTRONICS
COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
COMMERCIAL CONTRAC
I'm seeing you often these days.
I want to drink coffee that you make.
You're making me work. What a bother.
I'll sign the contract.
Set up a meeting for me.
All right.
Did you take a look
at the lecture proposal?
Yes, I did. I'll do that too.
It's weird to see you being so obedient.
Wasn't I always obedient to you?
Think again carefully.
Right, I wasn't.
I won't be able to sleep
if I drink coffee now.
Then why are you drinking it?
I wanted to try doing something
you enjoy with you.
Hey, stop that.
That totally made me cringe.
Here.
What's this?
You can come anytime. It's hard to get
a reservation these days.
I'm cringing,
picturing you making this for me.
I was cringing like this
as I was making it.
-Right?
-Yes.
-Good work.
-Good work.
-Great work, everyone.
-All right, team.
-We can do it!
-We can do it!
-Thank you.
-Bye.
-See you.
-Bye.
Gosh, it's cold.
Why did Mr. Park leave so early?
No idea. How would I know?
But I can still speculate.
What?
Why did you bring your boyfriend along
on a day like this?
Because it's an important day for me.
My gosh, I miss him again.
-Goodness, enough.
-Hyeon-soo.
I did a lot of bad stuff to him.
That's why.
You repent for way too long
when you get into a relationship.
-What's the problem this time?
-What's the problem this time?
I'm scared.
You've pushed me away once.
Who says you can't do it again?
He was right about that
in the end.
LEE HYEON-SOO
Hey.
Did you get home safely?
Of course.
Did you call to ask what I'm up to?
No, I called to ask
if we can meet tomorrow.
Would that be okay for you?
Aren't you really busy?
I'm going to see you
no matter how busy I am.
I have something to say to you.
There's something I need to report to you
regarding Chef On.
CHEF ON IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
AT GOOD SOUP
CHEF ON IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
AT GOOD SOUP
-You should wear rubber gloves.
-Okay.
-Let's turn down the heat a little.
-Okay.
"Chef On Is Nowhere to Be Found
at Good Soup.
They made basic mistakes
such as failing to grill steak properly."
THEY MADE BASIC MISTAKES
SUCH AS FAILING TO GRILL STEAK PROPERLY
"They couldn't even grill
a medium-rare steak properly.
I wonder how that restaurant
managed to get a Michelin star.
I question the competence
of the line cooks as well."
It was written by a famous blogger.
Has this already been posted?
No, not yet. It's going to get published
on a daily newspaper.
How badly could this article affect
Good Soup?
It could be as bad as the allergy incident
that happened in the past.
Show this to our legal team
and schedule a meeting with this blogger.
I wonder if this looks okay.
It's a small step,
but I was able to take it nonetheless,
thanks to you.
I'll protect you
until the end of time
so that you never lose yourself.
My gosh.
What did the legal team say?
They said we should settle with her.
-Have you scheduled a meeting?
-No, she's being very stubborn.
Let's go to Good Soup first.
-Have you eaten?
-Yes, of course.
-Then do you want some tea?
-Sure.
What did you decide to do with your mom?
I'll have to see her and talk to her.
Talking to you about my mom
makes me feel like we're a family.
Does that mean you're comfortable with me?
What did you want to tell me?
Don't beat around the bush.
You really are showing up anytime
since you have a free pass.
We're on our break,
so the kitchen is closed at the moment.
Do you think I'm here to eat?
Shouldn't you be working
instead of hanging out here?
I need to take breaks too, you know.
She isn't your employee.
Why are you grilling her?
You stay out of this.
It's none of your business.
You have to nail at least one,
between viewership ratings
and artistic quality.
Okay, I'll remember that.
Good answer.
I'd better go now.
Why did you come
if you were going to leave right away?
This is my favorite guy
in the whole world.
And this is my favorite woman.
I'm with two of my most
favorite people now. This is great.
I stopped by because I was in the area,
so don't mind me.
Just continue along.
Are you really leaving like this?
The break is almost over,
so we should talk here.
What is it about? I'm scared.
Don't be scared.
It's time for Lee Hyeon-soo's
self-reflection.
That sounds very grand.
In order for us to move forward,
we need to clean up the past.
Yes, that is necessary
for us to move forward.
You see,
because I'm older than you,
I thought I was more experienced than you
in all aspects.
I received a lot of love growing up,
so I thought I knew how to give love.
You do know how to give love.
But I was wrong.
Do you know what your name is saved as
on my phone?
"Jeong-seon" with a heart.
What about it?
You have my full name, "Lee Hyeon-soo."
You love me,
and you tried to keep me as who I am.
But
I think I was in love with
the feeling of love.
I thought a moth flying into the flame
was love.
I thought I could even die for it.
And I liked that about you.
In order to keep the man, On Jeong-seon,
as On Jeong-seon,
I had to protect you,
watch you,
and wait for you.
Take this,
and give me the ring
that you gave me before.
You know what a ring signifies, right?
