[gentle music playing]

YUKO FUEKI

-Hello.
-[Ayano] Hi. Good morning.

[Yuko] Could you all line up here, please?

Hi! Good morning!

So, having a good time so far?

-[in Korean] Yes.
-Yes.

-[Yuko in English] Honoka and Won Shik...
-[both] Yes?

[Yuko] How'd the shoot go?

It went well.

How did it go for you?



It was such a valuable experience for me.

I can't wait to go back and shoot again.

[Yuko] I see. That's great.

Our next shoot will be Episode 3.

Those who haven't gotten
the lead roles yet, keep trying your best.

-[Nozomi] Yes.
-[Won Shik] Let's go!

[Yuko] Great.

The title of Episode 3 is "Love Sketch."

The main character is a female painter.

The story is about how she overcomes
various hardships,

while building a relationship
with her beloved man

as they strive for
their happily ever after.

So this time,
we will have the women choose

who they want to pair up with.



-[a-chan] Finally!
-[Shusuke] That'll be revealing.

-[Haruna] Yeah.
-[a-chan] We might find out

how Rio truly feels.

Oh, dear...

And you will decide the pairs during...

a shopping contest.

-Huh?
-Huh?

[all laughing]

-[Haruna] What?
-[a-chan] That sounds difficult.

[Ayano] I have no artistic talent.

[Honoka] What do you mean?

A sketchbook.

Thank you.

[narrator] The men will draw what gift
they would enjoy receiving from a woman,

and the women will buy the item drawn by
the man they want to pair up with.

-[Haruna] Oh, I get it.
-[Maria] Drawing what you want is hard.

[Hayato] Yeah, it's pretty tough.

[narrator] The pairs will be decided
based on which lady is first

to offer the man's desired gift
to her chosen one.

If a pair has already been decided,
the woman has to go shopping again,

and the contest will continue
until all pairs are decided.

Have you finished drawing?

-[Won Shik] Yes, all done.
-[Dong Kyu] Yes.

[Yuko] Over here, please.

All right, it's time
to reveal your drawings.

Shall we take a look at them all at once?

Okay. Ready?

One, two, three!

[Honoka] I can't tell
what it's supposed to be.

[Ayano] I can't see anything.

[rock music playing]

FLOWER

-[Haruna] Oh, that's nice.
-[a-chan] So cute! He's so romantic.

KEY RING

-[Haruna] Are you sure?
-[Shusuke] A key chain?

EARPHONES

-[Hayato] Earphones?
-[Haruna] I thought it was a stethoscope.

T-SHIRT

[Haruna] A T-shirt.
They're all kind of so-so at drawing.

Okay, ladies. Time to start!

[Yuko] Off you go!

[giggles]

Good luck!

[Ayano] Okay!

No way! What is this?

[women laughing]

[in Japanese]
What is this?

[in English]
The women will decide the pairs

through a shopping contest this time.

-What's that all about?
-What is it all about?

-What?
-That's new.

Even if they're still a little unsure,

we'll get a good idea of how they feel

when we see what they bought, right?

[Haruna] That's true.

We'll definitely see
their first choice, right?

-[Maria] For sure.
-[a-chan] Good point.

I wonder who Rio will choose.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, me too.

Who will she choose?

She got off to a late start,

she was like, "What's going on?"

-But Nozomi was like a flash of lightning.
-[Maria] Yeah.

-[Shusuke] So fast.
-She's into Dong Kyu, after all.

She's decided.

[Haruna] She just took off with a bang.

And Honoka was also in a hurry.

-Yeah.
-Probably going for the earphones.

[bright music playing]

[a-chan] Oh, it's Nozomi.

[Haruna] Now, she was the one
who ran off first.

Which way should I go?

There is someone I want to pair up with.

-[Shusuke] Oh, there is?
-[a-chan] Really?

Huh? What should I do?

Should I get a taxi?

Oh, darn! I don't have much time.

[yells]

I think some of us are definitely
going to choose the same guy,

so I want to buy this thing fast.

[Hayato] She thinks some
will choose the same guy?

-[Maria] That's what she said.
-[Haruna] Okay.

[Honoka] Excuse me.
May I ask you for directions?

Sure. Where to?

Um. Earphones...

-[Haruna] Oh, Tae Gyun.
-[in Korean] A place that might

-sell earphones.
-Ah.

[in Japanese] Uh... close by.

[in English] I have to run!

[Hayato] She's full of energy.

-[a-chan] She's so lively, it's adorable.
-[Haruna] So true.

Hang on.

-[Shusuke] Ah, there you go.
-[Haruna] Oh, flowers?

-[Nozomi] Hello!
-[a-chan] She went to a flower shop!

[Haruna] Of course.
She's so into Dong Kyu.

[Hayato] She is.

Ah. Sunflower.

-[Nozomi] Sun... Sunflower.
-Oh, sunflower.

[in Korean] One flower, please.

[in Japanese] Excuse me.

[in Korean] Thank you so much.

Are you in a hurry?

[in English] Time, time, nothing.

[chuckles]

[in Japanese] Oh, I don't have time.
Sorry.

♪ Go! ♪

Is that okay?

[in English] I'm a little embarrassed
in getting this worked up.

What's wrong with me?

Oh! Oh, okay.

Oh, no!

[laughs]

She's here, too.

[Haruna] "She's here"?

-[Nozomi] I knew it. I thought you'd come.
-Same!

[Haruna] A flower?

I figured this would happen.

-This is crazy.
-[Hayato] What?

Speed. Go.

[in Japanese] Sorry.

[in Korean] I'm sorry. So sorry.

[in Japanese] I'm sorry.

[in Korean] Sorry.

-[Haruna] What?
-[Maria] It's on.

[Rio in Korean] Me too.

The florist must be stressing out.

She's like, "What's going on?"

[laughter]

[in Japanese] Okay. Look out, please.

[in English] Thank you!

[Nozomi squeals]

[a-chan] Run for it!

-[Haruna] Why didn't she take a car?
-[Hayato] Good point.

Ah! No.

Taxi!

Hey!

-Wait.
-[Shusuke] Oh, it's leaving.

[Rio] Hey, it's leaving. Why?

Hey! Is she in it?

[laughs]

I'm gonna lose.

-[a-chan] Oh no!
-[Hayato] It's not over yet.

[Hayato] She can still make it.

[Haruna] Yeah, she can.

[panting]

[Hayato] If she takes a cab,
she can still win.

[Rio in English] This place.

[pants, chuckles]

[a-chan] Who's going to win?

-Rio might make it.
-Anything can happen.

That's it. Keep running.

[pants]

I can't anymore.

-Oh, it's on.
-[Yuko] Already?

[Hayato] I knew it! She made it first.

-[Maria] She won!
-[a-chan] Yeah, Nozomi!

-[Yuko] Nozomi, hi.
-Yes.

[Yuko] You bought something?
Please come show us.

-[Nozomi] Yes.
-[Yuko] All right, Nozomi.

Go to the gentleman
you'd like to pair up with

and give him what you bought.

[Nozomi] Okay. Here, this is for you.

-Oh!
-[applauding]

Looking forward to working with you.

I'm looking forward
to working with you, too.

Lovely. Congrats! Have a seat.

[Nozomi] I'm wiped out.

[Yuko] You must be.
You really went for it.

Amazing.

[Haruna] Rio didn't make it.

[Maria] They're so cute.

What do I do now?

[driver] You don't know the address?

What am I supposed to do?

Hang on.

Do I... What do I do?

[driver] What's the exact address
you're going to?

I'll change it.

Just a second. I'm gonna figure it out.

[Haruna] I guess she's not going.

This is so awkward.

Look at me. I gave up right away.

[Shusuke] No one will know
she bought the flower.

-[a-chan] Yeah.
-[Haruna] She's keeping it secret.

What? She should tell him.

Yeah. Then he'd definitely notice her.

I've never actively pursued
a man or love before.

Maybe my old ways came out again.

Since I wasn't shooting, I could finally
spend some quiet time with the others,

and ended up talking with Dong Kyu a lot.

And, well... I think he's pretty adorable.

Hm.

I was doing the dishes

and he quietly came over
and started helping me.

-I was so nervous, it gave me butterflies.
-[studio cast exclaim]

For some reason, I feel more hurt

that I couldn't pair up with him
than I thought I would.

I guess I really like him.

[gasps] There it is!

[Honoka] I'm gonna check out
all the shops.

It looks like they sell earphones here.

-Hello.
-Hello.

[Honoka] Do you sell earphones?

-Ah!
-[shop lady] That's the last pair.

It works with iPhones?

[shop lady] iPhone.

iPhone! Wow, thank you! They have some.

[shop lady] Open?

[in Japanese] Okay. Open, please.

[Honoka in English] Wrapping okay?

Could you wrap it up simply, please?

-Ah!
-Ah, okay.

[Haruna] She's going to lose time!

A bag, please.

Thanks so much!

[upbeat music playing]

Did I lose too much time?

Oh, well.

Oh, iPhone cases.

They're too girly.

iPhone cases...

[Haruna] Oh! No earphones.

Do they only have cases?

[Shusuke] So she's after that.

[Haruna] Earphones?

-Yes!
-[Haruna gasps]

-[a-chan] She found them!
-[Haruna] Earphones! I see.

Tae Gyun is popular.

You have to hurry.

That was pretty quick,

even though I just randomly checked shops.

Ah, okay. Ah...

-[shop lady] Thank you.
-Thanks so much!

I got them! Time to go back!

How do I get there?

Wait, this isn't where I came from.

Hurry, hurry, hurry. I have to hurry back.

[Hayato] She's running out of time!

Oh, no!

[in Korean] Wrapped...

Sorry, I couldn't get them wrapped.

[in English] Come on!
What's going on with this traffic light?

[upbeat music playing]

Excuse me.

[Ji Hyuk] What if the others get lost?
What happens then?

[Nozomi] Wait, someone's coming.

[Hayato] Who's that?

-[Haruna] Ayano?
-[Maria] It's Ayano.

-You got here quickly.
-[Yuko] Hi, welcome back!

[Nozomi] Good job.

-[Yuko] Please stand in front of the men.
-She's sweating.

Oh?

I look forward to working with you.

[Nozomi] Amazing! Congratulations!

Good going!

Thank you.

[Yuko] The others are getting nervous.

You know what? I've already given up.

I don't think I'll be chosen.

[Nozomi] Don't say that.

Okay.

[Maria] Oh, she won't make it.

Oh, no! You were way too fast!

[Haruna] Yes. They've already paired up.

[Honoka] Seriously?

I'll be back!

Oh my god! Good luck! We'll be here.

[Ayano] Good luck!

I guess she's moving to plan B.

[Honoka] How did they get back so fast?
I have to hurry.

[Yuko] What's the matter?

Can I run away now?

-[Yuko] Oh, come on.
-[a-chan] Oh, poor guy.

[Haruna] He's still hurt
about the other day.

Is he gonna cry?

So wait, Won Shik and Ji Hyuk
are the two left?

What should I do? Who do I go for?

I'm on my way.

[uptempo pop music playing]

There she is. Welcome back, Honoka.

[a-chan] That was quick.

-[Shusuke] So who will she choose?
-[Haruna] What's gonna happen?

[Yuko] Please hand the item over to
the gentleman you want to pair up with.

-I look forward to working with you.
-I look forward to working with you.

-[a-chan] No way?
-[Haruna] I thought so.

-[Hayato] Ji Hyuk!
-You should check if she got it right.

-Yes, you did.
-[Honoka] Okay?

-Yes.
-[Honoka] Great.

Thank you.

[Honoka] Thank you.

Good job. Good for you.

[Won Shik] I've been passed over twice.

[a-chan squeals]

-[Shusuke] Yeah, that's rough.
-[a-chan] I can't watch...

really says a lot.

♪ The show must go on ♪

There she is.

[Yuko] Welcome back!

-You're late.
-[Rio] I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

[Yuko] Please hand over what you bought.

Here.

-[a-chan] What?
-[Shusuke] Good!

[a-chan] She really chose him.
Thank goodness.

THANK YOU FOR TRYING SO HARD
FROM WON SHIK

-Thank you.
-[Yuko] Did she get it right?

She did. She bought key rings.

Fantastic! Congratulations.

Thank you.
I look forward to working with you.

-[Haruna] I think I'm going to cry.
-[Hayato] I bet he's happy.

So happy.

So, the pairs have been decided.

Thank you so much
for your hard work, ladies.

[Yuko] The auditions are tomorrow.

It's a beautiful day out there today,
why don't you go outside

and enjoy your free time
together with your partner.

All right, then.

I'll see you again tomorrow.

Good luck!

[all in Korean]
Let's do this!

HONGDAE

[Dong Kyu in English] Tell me if you see
something you want to eat.

[Nozomi] Okay.

Dumplings?

You want to have dumplings?
I like dumplings.

Okay. Let's have dumplings.

[Nozomi] Yay! Dumplings.

What do you recommend?

[in Korean] Cold noodles?

DONG KYU: WANT TO SHARE DUMPLINGS
AND KAL-GUKSU?

[in English] Oh, yeah. Cool.

One kal-guksu
and one plate of dumplings, please.

[cook] Okay. Will that be all?

Yeah.

-I'm going to the restroom.
-Yeah. Okay. Go ahead.

Oops, sorry. [chuckles]

[Dong Kyu chuckles]

Yes! Found it.

[Haruna] He's gonna get her
something in return.

[a-chan] Yeah, maybe.

-[Dong Kyu] Hello there.
-[Shusuke] Flowers!

-[Maria] The guy is so sweet!
-[Hayato] What a great guy.

-[Haruna] Amazing.
-[a-chan] How lovely.

[bright uplifting music playing]

[Maria] How wonderful.

He's a nice guy for sure.

A really nice guy. He's so romantic, too.

Hey, there you are. [chuckles]

Nozomi. They're for you.

Oh, thank you!

Oh, wow!

They're beautiful.

[laughs]

Thank you.
Weren't you going to the bathroom?

[Nozomi chuckles]

Is the food cold?

DONG KYU:
I WANTED TO THANK YOU WITH FLOWERS

[Nozomi] Amazing. I'm glad I ran.

NOZOMI:
I'M GLAD I RAN!

[laughing]

-[Dong Kyu] Thank you for that.
-[Nozomi] Thank you.

[Nozomi] Thanks a lot.

[Haruna] How could they not
fall in love after all this?

[Maria] They're a couple already.

[Haruna] Yeah, they are.
They're totally dating.

[Nozomi] I look so smug.

-[in Japanese] You're cute.
-"Cute."

[in English] Did you want to pair up
with someone else?

NOZOMI: DID YOU WANT TO PAIR UP
WITH SOMEONE ELSE?

Oh. [laughs]

Really?

DONG KYU: DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THE SUNFLOWER SIGNIFIES?

What?

NOZOMI:
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE?

DONG KYU:
MAYBE THE MEANING DIFFERS BY COUNTRY?

Oh, my.

[Dong Kyu] It's a secret.

[laughs]
What? No. Hang on. That's not fair.

[Haruna] Why would he do that?

[Hayato] What?

WON SHIK:
I BELIEVE I KNOW THE TRUTH

[Rio] What?

[Haruna] "I believe I know the truth."

Won Shik sure has a way with words.

WON SHIK:
YOU LIKE DONG KYU

WON SHIK:
I CAN TELL BY LOOKING AT YOU

-[Hayato] What?
-[studio cast surprised exclaims]

[laughs]

[Won Shik] A little?

-A little.
-[laughs]

[in Korean] Dong Kyu has Nozomi, though.

WON SHIK:
DONG KYU HAS NOZOMI, THOUGH

Do you think you've got a chance?

WON SHIK:
DO YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT A CHANCE?

[Rio] Hm...

RIO:
I'VE NOTICED HOW NOZOMI FEELS, BUT...

WON SHIK: YOU CAN STILL SCORE,
GOALKEEPER OR NOT!

[laughs]

[Haruna in English] What's with this guy?
He sure knows what to say.

-[a-chan] That's sweet.
-[Haruna] He's amazing.

RIO: I'M NO HOME-WRECKER,
BUT I CAN'T STOP LOVE

It's a challenge.

WON SHIK: BECAUSE YOUR HEART
HAS BEEN STOLEN AWAY

[laughs]

[Shusuke] He's so cool.

-[Ayano] Delicious.
-Yeah.

[Ayano] You like it?

It's funny.

-[Ayano] You mean "Fun?"
-Yeah. Eat.

-[Haruna] "Eat."
-[Maria] He's like, "Eat."

[both's approving hums]

Is it okay?

[Ayano] What?

-The cake. You like it?
-[Ayano] Yeah, it's great.

[Ayano chuckles]

-[Ayano] You make me laugh.
-Hm.

[Ayano] You're a really funny guy.

[studio cast chuckling]

What does Tae Gyun think?
Does he like her or not?

I don't know.
I can't read his facial expressions.

AYANO
WANT TO KNOW WHY I CHOSE YOU?

Yes.

[chuckles]

When we paired up for Episode 1,

I thought you were funny and really sweet.

I wanted to pair up with you again
to make up for our loss.

Is that okay?

Yeah, sure it is.

Thank you. I try my best.

[Haruna] What's this guy really feeling?

[in Japanese] Try...

...your best?

-Same...
-Same?

-Same.
-Really?

Yeah, really.

We feel the same?

[Tae Gyun] We feel the same

[Maria] Wait, what? What's going on?
I don't get it.

-[a-chan] Me neither.
-Hm.

TAE GYUN: MY MIND HAS CHANGED.
I THINK THERE'S A POSSIBILITY.

Hm.

-Ooh.
-[a-chan] What?

[in English] "My mind has changed.
I think there's a possibility."

-Wow.
-[Tae Gyun] Hm.

[chuckles]

Oh.

[laughs]

What?

Why are you laughing?

[a-chan] Maybe he's trying to say
he thinks he has feelings for Ayano.

"Do you wanna make sure?"

"Wanna make sure?"

"Want to make sure?"

[gentle somber music playing]

[Ji Hyuk] Does it bother you?

You don't even look at each other.

[Honoka] You noticed?

Won Shik won't even look me in the eye.

Of course, he wouldn't.

I guess.

[both chuckling]

[Ji Hyuk] But you were determined, right?

You knew what your choice would mean.

Yeah, I did.

You're right.

Don't worry about it.
You'll have plenty of time.

[Ji Hyuk chuckles]

He's so kind!

[Haruna] He's really mature.

-So mature!
-[a-chan] Yes!

I'm back.

-[Honoka] Hey.
-Hey! We're back!

Hi!

-We're back.
-[Ji Hyuk] What's up?

You two here alone?

-No.
-No, actually.

Rio and Won Shik are here too.
What's with the bouquet, guys?

-Hey, guys.
-[Rio] Hey!

He gave them to me.

-[Honoka] That's adorable.
-[Ji Hyuk] That's so sweet.

[Nozomi] He said he was
going to the restroom,

and I waited for a long time.

-But he went to buy flowers.
-[Honoka] Wow, he did?

-[Honoka] Just like in the movies.
-[Nozomi] I was so surprised.

[Nozomi laughs]

"So what do you think?"

"What do you mean?"

"Want to make sure?"

"Wanna make sure?"

"Huh? How would we do that?"

[gentle music playing]

"Wha... What are you doing?"

"You got kissed by the painter herself."

-[Tae Gyun] Hang on. Look at that.
-Wow!

-Wow!
-Wow!

[Ayano] That's amazing!

[gentle peaceful music playing]

It's beautiful.

Like smiling while thinking
back on old times?

[Dong Kyu] Yes.

"I wanted to make sure."

[Nozomi] "I missed you terribly. And you?"

[Nozomi chuckles]

[gentle music playing]

[Rio] Are Dong Kyu and Nozomi rehearsing?

[sighs]

Nozomi and Ayano haven't gotten leads yet,

and they're together
with the ones they want to be with.

[Rio] Yeah.

So, I think they'll use this momentum.

Yeah... they're going to put
a lot of energy into it.

I think so.

I've got to put more energy into it,

but I can't concentrate
on the script at all right now.

Same. I'm feeling really weird about it.

I know, right? This stinks.

Our relationships and acting
aren't working out.

[Rio] It's okay.

It's a bummer.

[gentle music playing]

[Ayano] We have to land the lead roles.

[Tae Gyun] Good luck.

[Ayano] Look at me.

[Tae Gyun] Good luck!

-[Tae Gyun] Good luck!
-[laughs]

[Ayano] Let's do this.

I wanna thank you for giving this
some thought with me today.

-Tae Gyun is just too funny.
-[studio cast laughing]

He's pretty spontaneous about things.
It's refreshing.

Yeah, he told Ayano that this pairing
might lead him to fall in love.

[Shusuke] Yeah, he said
something like that.

It was like someone
flipped his love switch.

He made a declaration.

Makes it even harder to tell.

Dong Kyu's surprise
flower bouquet was great.

-[laughs]
-Yeah.

Yeah!

And he asked her
what the meaning of sunflowers are, right?

So I think there was a meaning
behind the flower he chose as well.

-[Hayato] I think you're onto something.
-Yeah.

-It's like he's giving her his answer.
-[a-chan] Yeah, exactly.

I want to know the meaning of the bouquet.

AUDITIONS

[Yuko] Hello, all!

[Nozomi] Good morning!

[Yuko] Nice to see you! Hi, everyone!

Are you all ready?

[Ji Hyuk] Perfectly ready!

All right, great.

[Yuko] Let's make our way
to the audition location.

[Dong Kyu] A stage?

[Yuko] Come in. Welcome.

[audience applauding]

[Hayato] Oh, there's an audience.

[Yuko] Smile, everyone.
You've got a big audience.

[Maria] There are so many people.

[audience applauding]

As guest judges for these auditions,

we have Kim Geonhong, chief of
drama production at a TV company.

We also have a movie production
company representative, Park Sejun,

as well as a crowd of
college students and graduates.

[a-chan] Wow, that's amazing.

[narrator] These auditions
will be judged by a group vote

which includes 14 college students

currently studying acting in Seoul.

After the four pairs are done,

the judges will vote by raising
their hands to decide the leading pair.

[a-chan] That's so nerve-racking, right?

[Haruna] They'll see the voting.

[Maria] It doesn't matter
who did well before.

The ones who do well now

-will be chosen.
-[Haruna] Totally.

[narrator] Episode 3 is "Love Sketch."

It's a love story about a female painter
and a man in special circumstances.

[a-chan] What kind of circumstances?

[narrator] The scene that will be judged

is the kissing scene
when the two first meet.

-[Nozomi] Let's do our best.
-Let's do our best.

[narrator] Their love begins
with a kiss out of the blue.

[sighs deeply]

[light suspenseful music playing]

The first pair is Rio and Won Shik.
The stage is all yours.

-[Won Shik] All right.
-[Rio] Okay.

[a-chan] There they are!

[nervous suspenseful music playing]

Where would you like me to stand?

-[Rio] What?
-[Won Shik] Where should I stand?

-[Yuko] Your choice.
-[Won Shik] Okay.

Please get ready. Action.

SCENE 1

THE MAN STOPS STARING AT
A STRANGE PAINTING

You seem really into this painting.

[Won Shik] They're kissing,
but they both have their eyes open.

I bet this artist
has never kissed anybody before,

and thinks we won't notice.

Wanna make sure?

What?

What are you doing?

[Rio chuckles] So...

what do you think?

Still wanna bet on it?

[Yuko] Okay, thank you so much.

-[Hayato] Is that good or bad?
-[a-chan] Right?

Something about the painting
is funny to you?

Yeah. It's all wrong.

[Ji Hyuk] They're kissing,
but they both have their eyes open.

I bet this artist
has never kissed anybody before.

And thinks we won't notice.

Okay...

Wanna make sure?

What?

How?

What are you doing?

[Honoka] So?

What do you think?

Still wanna bet on it?

[Yuko] Thank you very much.

[Haruna] The female character
is really assertive.

Let's do this!

[suspenseful music playing]

[Dong Kyu chuckles]

You seem really into this painting.

[Dong Kyu] Yeah.

They're kissing,
but they both have their eyes open.

I bet the artist
has never kissed anyone before.

And he thinks we won't notice.

Okay...

Wanna make sure?

What?

[Dong Kyu] How...

What?

[a-chan] So cute.

[Dong Kyu] What are you doing?

So, what do you think?

Still wanna bet on it?

[Yuko] Thank you very much.

[Nozomi] Thanks.

[suspenseful music playing]

-Oh.
-[chuckles]

-What's wrong with this door?
-Keep it straight.

Something in this painting
seem funny to you?

Yeah.

They're kissing,
but they both have their eyes open.

[deep inhale]

I bet this artist
has never kissed anyone before.

And thinks we won't notice.

[chuckles]

You think so?

You wanna make sure?

What?

How?

[surprised grunts]

What are...

[Ayano laughs]

[Tae Gyun] What are you doing?

So, what do you think?

Well? Still think
it was painted by someone

who has never kissed?

[Haruna] She comes across as more mature.

End scene. Okay, thanks so much.

[audience applauding]

[indistinct discussion]

[narrator] Each judge is allowed
to cast one vote.

The pair that gets
the most of the 14 votes

will win the leading roles.

[Haruna] How many votes
will each pair get?

[Maria] They all had a different approach.

[Haruna] Yeah.

All right, let's begin the vote.

[Yuko] I'd like to ask the judges
to please raise your hand

for the pair you thought was the best.

The first pair-up is Rio and Won Shik.

So judges, please raise your hand

if you thought they were the best.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[Haruna] Eh...
-[Maria] That's harsh.

[Shusuke] Oh, there's one!

[a-chan] No way.

One vote.

[Maria] That's rough.

The second pair is Honoka and Ji Hyuk.

[Yuko] All right, give it some thought
and please raise your hand

if you thought they were the best.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Hayato] What? Really? There we go!

[Yuko] Three votes. All right. Okay.

[a-chan] Hey. Maybe one pair
will get lots of votes.

[Yuko] Now, the third pair,
Nozomi and Dong Kyu.

[suspenseful music playing]

Third team.

Please raise your hands
and we'll get voting.

[a-chan] There's a lot.

[Yuko] Five votes in total.

The fourth and final pair
is Ayano and Tae Gyun.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[Shusuke] There you go.
-[Maria] It's a tie?

[a-chan] Five to five.

-[Yuko] Five votes.
-[groans]

[sighs]

[laughs]

[Yuko] Ayano and Tae Gyun
got five votes as well.

Both pairs got five votes.

[Hayato] Five to five.

[Haruna] Five to five.

So what now?

[a-chan] It's a tie.

It's a tie. We'll hold a final vote.

[suspenseful music playing]

[narrator] There will be a final vote
between the top two pairs.

The pair that wins eight or more of
the 14 votes will get the leading roles.

[Ayano] I hate this.

Me too. I can't take it.

[suspenseful music continues playing]

Everyone okay? Have you all decided?

[all in Korean] Yes.

[in English] All right, then... let's begin.

[Yuko] We'll start with...

the third pair,

Nozomi and Dong Kyu.

Raise your hand
if you thought that they were the best.

One, two, three, four, five, six, hmm?

Seven? Still a tie.

That won't do. It's an even split.

There are 14 judges, right?

So 14 votes...

[Sejun] It's... it's not an odd number, so...

[Yuko] I didn't expect this
to happen again.

-[Hayato] I guess it can happen.
-[a-chan] Yeah.

[suspenseful music playing]

[narrator] The final vote was also a tie,

the two pairs
obtained the exact same number of votes.

My goodness.

[Haruna] What is Yuko going to do?

[Yuko] So, what next?

[Ayano] What's going on?

[Sejun] Let's reconsider
the judging method

in order to move things along.
Please take a break for now.

[Yuko in Korean] We will reconsider
the judging method.

Please take a break for now.

[Hayato in English] This is wild!

[Yuko] I never imagined
it would come to this.

We didn't expect a tie like this.

No, it's surprising.

[Yuko] This is a challenge.

We'll just have to do rock-paper-scissors.

I just keep thinking,
"What the heck is going on?"

Your acting was good, Nozomi.

[Nozomi] No...

[Ji Hyuk] You did good. You really did.

[groans]

[Tae Gyun] It's fine even if we don't win.

Huh?

Both of the VIP judges
acknowledged our skills.

There's nothing we can do about it.

We tried our best.

Yeah, yeah.

How am I understanding?

This is killing me.

I'm so nervous.

Why is she thinking about
understanding Korean?

[laughs]

What was that?

[a-chan] Yeah.

We apologize for keeping you waiting.

After careful consideration,
we've come up with a new voting method.

[Maria] Oh, what is it?

This time around,
each judge may cast up to two votes.

[Yuko] If you think both pairs
deserve the leading roles,

you may raise your hand twice.

If you strongly feel
that only one pair should win...

-[Shusuke] Okay, I get it.
-...then raise your hand for one pair only.

We will now attempt
to cast our final votes again.

Okay.

[Yuko] Now then...

all those who think
Nozomi and Dong Kyu should win.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[a-chan] Wow, that's a lot.
-[Shusuke] Yeah, it is.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

[Yuko] Eight votes, it seems.

Eight votes. Thank you.

Let's move on to Ayano and Tae Gyun.

If you think Ayano and Tae Gyun
were the best,

please let us know by a show of hands.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Hayato] What's gonna happen?

Two, three four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine.

[Yuko] Nine votes.

-[a-chan] Just a one-vote's difference.
-[Haruna] That's crazy.

Same?

-No!
-[a-chan] What?

[Yuko] Ayano and Tae Gyun
will get to star in the next episode.

Congratulations. Great work!

[audience applauding]

Why are you crying?

[Tae Gyun] No, no. Don't cry.

-[studio cast women laughing]
-[Maria] He's so funny.

[Tae Gyun] Seriously, don't cry.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. Me too. So am I.

I'm really sorry.

I thought Ayano and Tae Gyun
had wonderful chemistry in this scene.

[Sejun] A drama starring the two of you
would surely be very interesting.

I'd love to see it,
and that's why I raised my hand.

Compared to the other pairs,

I felt that the two of you
were really invested.

[Geonhong] It shows that you did
plenty of rehearsing.

That's why I chose you.

I look forward to the drama.
You made my heart skip a beat.

-Thank you.
-[all applauding]

-Good luck!
-[Tae Gyun] Thank you.

[student] You'll do great.

-[Tae Gyun] Thanks, man.
-Congrats!

-Do your best.
-[Ayano] This is great.

-You'll do great.
-Okay, break a leg.

See you later. Bye!

-[Yuko] Congratulations.
-Have a good time.

Thank you.

Awesome.

[laughs]

You're crazy. Crazy.

[Maria] When she gets near him,
he backs away.

[Haruna] He's like a magnet.

Seriously?

[Ji Hyuk] I'm craving samgyeopsal.

[Nozomi] I like samgyeopsal.

[indistinct conversation]

For your information, what I was
paying most attention to

was how well you matched as couples.

Actually, Nozomi, I want you to know
that your acting was very natural

in the way you expressed emotions.

[Sejun] You did a great job. In fact...
Oh no, she's still crying.

[a-chan] They all tell her the same thing.

In fact, Dong Kyu... I think
you're going to owe Nozomi an apology.

[Sejun] Let's put your acting performance
at the audition aside

so I can explain the reason
it was so hard to decide.

We really felt your earnest desire
and drive to land the leading roles,

but that attachment
took away from the audition.

You two have definite acting skills,

but you seem a little too focused
on the end result.

Yes.

[Sejun] If you have the opportunity
to pair up again,

I think you can achieve
great results together if Dong Kyu...

-Yes. Yes.
-...can manage to calm his nerves.

[Sejun] And let that chemistry,

that deep connection
the two of you have, shine through.

Focus on what bonds you,
not on landing the parts.

[somber music playing]

[a-chan] That's got to be tough to hear.

[Haruna] He knows it's his fault.

[sniffles]

[somber music continues playing]

NOZOMI:
CAN WE TALK IN PRIVATE?

DONG KYU:
LET'S TALK!

Oh, great. Café 55-1.

[Dong Kyu in Japanese] Ju, ju, ichi.

[Nozomi] Goju-go, ichi.

-[Nozomi] Café goju-go, ichi.
-[Dong Kyu] Goju-go, ichi.

[Nozomi in English] I wanted us
to have a talk.

[Dong Kyu] Is everything okay?

I'm all right. All is well.

You sure?

All good.

[Nozomi] Uh...

[in Korean] I was worried that
I was making you feel bad.

I felt remorseful.

[in English] Oh, no, no, no, no.

[in Korean] Uh... I... I...

Uh...

-[in English] Oh, please don't cry.
-[Nozomi] Oh, no, no, no.

[chuckles softly]

Thank you.

[chuckles] Let's see.

DONG KYU:
PLEASE DON'T CRY

Okay, okay, okay.

We're the only ones who were in the same
pair for all three auditions, right?

[in Korean] You're right.
I should have tried harder.

-[in English] No. No, no, no.
-[in Korean] I...

was too nervous.

[Dong Kyu in Korean] I'm so sorry

for causing you so much trouble.

[chuckles]
[in English] No.

You're apologizing again.

[chuckles]

Why are you doing that?

[in Korean] I think I keep apologizing

because... I lack confidence.

Everyone else...

has had such a long career.

Mm-hmm.

I tell myself I still won't give up,

but when it's time to perform,

I always lose my confidence.

[Nozomi] Hm.

Uh...

[in English] When I joined the girl group,

I had to dance,

but I wasn't a very good dancer.

In fact, I... I was so bad,

that I made it much harder for the others,

and I felt awful about that.

I never had any confidence.

I lost all my self-esteem.

I didn't even see the point of existing.

It was no fun at all.

But when you give it your all in practice,
you can't go wrong.

In the end,
you have to believe in yourself.

That's what matters most.

And if you do nothing,
you'll never make any progress.

[sniffles]

So I don't want you to apologize...

or to have any regrets.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I just want you to try your best.

-Hm.
-Yeah, because...

you mean a lot to me,
so I need to say the harsh things too.

Yeah.

[chuckles] You're a pretty secretive guy.

But I have nothing to hide.

I'm like an open book.

I'm open.

Always. I have no secrets.

[in Korean] Okay then...

give me another chance.

Let me pair up with you again.

I will... do my best.

Hm.

So please give me one more chance.

[gentle sweet music playing]

Oh. [chuckles]

[in English] Oh, okay. Okay.

[in Korean] No matter what the rules are,
I won't lose.

[in English] Yeah.

[chuckles]

[Dong Kyu] Yes.

[Nozomi] Oh yeah?

-Really?
-[Dong Kyu] Yes.

[Nozomi] You sure?

[gentle sweet music continues playing]

All right then, it's settled.

Now, I'd like to know...

what does the sunflower signify
in Korean culture?

[chuckles]

[both laughing]

No more keeping secrets from now on.

[both laughing]

[in Korean] In Korea, it means...

"I have eyes only for you."

Wow!

[in English] Are you serious?

Yes.

[chuckles softly]

[gentle sweet music continues playing]

-[Hayato] That was great.
-[Haruna] How lovely.

They only got to share this moment
because they almost won the audition

then didn't.

In the end, Nozomi finally got to hear
the one thing she wanted to hear the most.

[Haruna] Hm.

What the flower meant.

"I only have eyes for you."

It feels like this is fate.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I can feel it.

[intense music playing]

I'm attracted to her.

It goes up one percent constantly.
It's non-stop.

[Tae Gyun] I keep feeling like
I'm more attracted to her

and I want to protect her.

[Nozomi] I don't think it's a good idea
to lead him on

by acting like I'm into him.

Oh, thank you.

I think I'm falling in love.

[Ayano] I just don't get Tae Gyun.

He's a mysterious creature to me.

[Tae Gyun] This happened so suddenly,
and now I'm confused.

Impossible.

Why is Ji Hyuk getting upset?

[Honoka] I felt like I was
swept off my feet

but ultimately just strung along.

It bothers me.

There is one lady that I'm drawn to.

[Won Shik] My heart is slowly
turning toward her.

Yes, but I was honest about how I felt.

[Ji Hyuk] You need to shut up.
You want to die?

"You need to shut up. You want to die?"

-Oh my God. Ji Hyuk is losing it.
-He's all worked up.

[a-chan] Oh wow, she made a move!

[Hayato] Is this for real?

[Ji Hyuk] Guess that's life.
