Love to Hate You (2023): Season 1, Episode 10 - A Passionate Goodbye - full transcript

[upbeat rhythmic music playing]

♪ Love to hate you ♪

[vocalizing]

And for my final trick of the night...

Nice.

[electronic dance music playing]

- [grunts]
- [Kang-ho] Whoa!

- [Mi-ran] Yay!
- [laughing] Wow!

- So good.
- [Soo-jin] How amazing!

[both laughing]

- I did good, right?
- Yes, as always.



- [Soo-jin] Yes!
- [Mi-ran laughs]

- [phone ringing]
- [Mi-ran] Oh!

It's Na-eun. Just a second.

[Soo-jin] Hm?

[electronic dance music continues]

Doesn't it feel
like something's wrong here?

Yes, it does.

Hey, what's up?

- Did I see it? See what?
- [Na-eun] I'm on my way there right now.

Just don't go anywhere.
Stay right there, okay?

[phone line beeps]

[electronic dance music continues]

Mm, you know,
she always seemed like a party girl.

Ah, his reputation was spotless.
Now he's done for.



Unfortunate.

Now?

Don't forget the gay scandal.

[scoffs] That was just gossip.

He held out so long without a girl
and ended up picking the wrong one.

[sighs] I knew I should've hired a guy...

[scoffs] ...to take
those little bastards out.

Take off for now

and don't take any phone calls
or text anybody, all right?

And don't talk about this to anyone,
not even Ms. Yeo.

Hey! So you're implying
I cut her off? Is that it?

Oh, what? So you're saying
Nam Kang-ho had no idea?

Suppose that's actually true.
Mi-ran did absolutely nothing wrong.

Okay?

I get it. But don't contact Ms. Yeo!

[electronic dance music continues]

[crowd chattering indistinctly]

[Kang-ho] Hey.

[Mi-ran grunts]

It's more fun if you let me win sometimes.

It's not over yet.

[grunts, panting]

It is over.

[both laughing]

A PASSIONATE GOODBYE

Well, if you haven't seen it,
don't bother.

If Dad freaks out about it,
just come over to mine.

Oh, big deal or no big deal,
I'll take care of it, so don't worry.

I got it, yeah?

- [phone beeps off]
- [sighs deeply]

Let's get out of here. These people
are shady and can no longer be trusted.

Oh, relax, would you?

We're gonna leave.

Actually, you shouldn't be alone.

Let's just go home.

She won't be alone.
Not with me by her side.

I should go. It'd be good
to have somebody there with you.

You'll stay here with him, right?

I'll take care of you.

No way! What if you sign
another life-ruining contract?

Okay, okay. All right, all right.
I got it. I got it. Hey, let go!

Okay, tonight, the four of us
will all stay together.

What?

If we're all alone,
we'll end up with bad thoughts

and misunderstand one another.

You're right. We should go to mine.

We can't do that.
It's obvious reporters will camp outside.

Did we do something wrong?
Why hide from them?

[car engine idling]

[intriguing music playing]

[indistinct chattering]

[Won-jun sighs]

I told you so.

We can't just tell 'em to beat it.
They won't listen.

Okay. So where do we go now?

My goodness.
You sure drank a lot, didn't you?

I'm completely sober now, thanks to you.

[Won-jun sighs]

[Na-eun] What will you do now?

The more I think about it,
I think we should just kill those guys.

- You know what I'm saying?
- [sighs]

Don't worry. I'll kill them myself.

And it's still defamation
even if it's true.

And I'll cover
their victims pro bono right away.

[exhales sharply] It'll be
death by endless lawsuits.

I'll show them what they get,
messing with us.

Are you two staying together?
Is that what you want?

[intriguing music continues]

Uh, is there
a convenience store around here?

Why don't you come with me?
Let's give these two some space.

It's not like
you're going to let them keep dating.

That'd mean the end for Kang-ho.

But you knew that all along, didn't you?

Right now, Ms. Yeo
is in even bigger trouble.

Once they decide
Kang-ho's a victim, I mean... [exhales]

...people will drag her through the mud,
and she'll just be trampled.

They won't stop
until she's completely ruined.

They're gonna have to end this

until things die down.

So let them enjoy
what time they have left with one another.

I'm sorry.

You didn't do anything,
so don't apologize to me.

Otherwise, I'll have to feel sorry too,
for ruining Nam Kang-ho's whole career.

I would quit acting
if it meant being with you.

- [Na-eun clears throat]
- [door closes]

Did you buy alcohol?

What?

Oh, of course.

It's not like we're gonna talk
over coffee at this hour.

Since we're all together,
why don't we enjoy?

[energetic pop music playing]

- [Mi-ran, Na-eun squeal]
- [Kang-ho] Not me, not me, not me!

[all exclaiming, laughing]

- [Won-jun] Whoa, hey, that's too much!
- [Mi-ran] Cheers!

[all chant] Down goes the alcohol!
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!

[Mi-ran, Na-eun cheering]

Ah, look at that!

- Okay, here we go.
- [all] High-rise! High-rise! High-rise!

- Eleventh floor! One!
- [Mi-ran] Ah!

- Two!
- [Kang-ho] Three!

- [Mi-ran] Four!
- Five!

- Six!
- Seven!

- Eight!
- Nine!

- Ten!
- Oh, seriously? [groans]

[all cheering]

- [Mi-ran] Beer!
- This is unfair.

[chanting] How long
will you make me do the shoulder dance?

Look at my shoulders. They're dislocated!

Please take me down to the 11th floor.

[Mi-ran laughing]

[all chant] Baskin-Robbins, 31!

One.

- Two. Three.
- [Mi-ran] Oh my God!

Four.

- [Kang-ho] Oop.
- [in funny voice] Five!

Skip, skip, skip, skip!

- Seven.
- [all laughing]

Wow, she's really good at this, huh?

Six, seven, eight!

Nine, ten, eleven!

[both chant] Cute, charming, 31!

[in baby voice] Nine.

- [laughing]
- Ten.

[chanting] Cute, charming, 31!

- [in baby voice] Nine! [yelps]
- [laughing]

[laughing] I can't! I won't!

- [Kang-ho] Sorry about this.
- [Mi-ran squeals]

Oh, not too much.

[Won-jun sighs]

[sighs]

How long do you think this will go?

They might be doing that on purpose

because they're worried
about what's to come.

[both laughing]

- Oh, I'm getting full.
- Let's just leave them be for tonight.

[Kang-ho] What year is it? Whoo!

I guess you really can't handle your soju.

[Mi-ran laughing]

[romantic music playing]

That's an interesting assumption.

I wouldn't assume that of you.

'Cause it's not true.

[clears throat]

[romantic music continues]

- [record scratches]
- [Won-jun splutters]

- [inhales sharply]
- [intriguing music playing]

Ah, not sure I can call
a driver at this hour. [exhales]

You're leaving right now?

I should.

Oh, looks like there aren't
any drivers around here. [smacks lips]

[sighs] Guess I'll just sleep in the car

until I'm sober.

Then head out of here, I guess.

The car?

No, what's wrong with you?

[intriguing music continues]

- [Na-eun inhales sharply]
- [Won-jun sighs]

[inhales] You know, if you want to,

you could sleep on the couch.

[upbeat pop music playing]

[Kang-ho] I would quit acting
if it meant being with you.

[upbeat pop music continues]

[Na-eun] So the party eventually ended,

and things unfolded as expected.

THE SHOCKING LIFE OF NAM'S GIRLFRIEND

NAM'S GIRLFRIEND IS A CLUB ADDICT?

THE BEAUTIFUL ATTORNEY WAS...

[woman 1] Wait until I get my hands
on her, damn it! She's dead meat!

- Get her! Get her!
- Pow! Pow!

[women chattering excitedly]

Hey, isn't that Yeo Mi-ran?

[gasps] There she is!

[women shouting angrily]

Shit!

[moaning]

I warned you.

We won't permit
our honest and innocent Kang-ho

to date an unlikable woman.

[Mi-ran exhales]

If you were that kind of woman,
you should have just ended it sooner.

- So are you planning on ending his career?
- [Mi-ran sighs]

[exhales sharply]

[solemn music playing]

[inhales, exhales slowly]

You know, what I really hate to see

is a bunch of women
letting go of their integrity.

What did she say?

- Oh, sure. Right, yeah. Wow.
- She's the one who dated multiple men.

- [Mi-ran grunts]
- [women chattering]

- [woman 2] Look at her.
- [women continue chattering]

[women shouting angrily]

[blows raspberry]

Some of your advertisement clients
have already issued notice of penalty.

About 27.4 billion won in total.

Don't worry too much about that.
There's no way to prove a correlation

between sales and reputation.

They won't open their accounting books
just to prove that. Nah. No way.

They'll likely drop him
and cancel the deal.

They'll ruin his career
just to cover their tracks.

[door opens]

[footsteps approaching]

[tense music playing]

It's postponed. The studio backed out.

[scoffs]

[Gil-mu] There will be
multiple lawsuits from the ad sponsors,

and the assigned attorney
can't work on the cases,

because she caused the scandal.

They're not going to go to trial.

Mr. Nam Kang-ho isn't at fault here,
so he's not liable.

Is that what a lawyer should say?

Guilty by association
may not apply in law,

but it does for client reputation!
This sound familiar?

"I am responsible for any rumors
I've caused with clients I represent"!

[clicks tongue]

[exhales sharply]

As stated, you'll have to prepare
three times your annual salary as penalty.

And if we fire you,
Nam Kang-ho will make a fuss,

and it won't look professional.

So I expect that you'll go, yes?

- [sighs deeply]
- Shit.

[exhales deeply]

[engine idling]

[poignant music playing]

[phone vibrating]

- Hey.
- Are you on your way?

[Mi-ran] Should be there in ten.

[poignant music continues]

[phone beeps off]

[inhales, exhales slowly]

You... made all this yourself?

Yeah. You've suffered
so much on my behalf,

this is the least I could do.

Have a seat while it's still hot.

[gentle music playing]

[dishes clinking]

This looks good.

Oh, Yeo Mi-ran's weak spot revealed.

When I'm being sentimental.

I'm tough on bullies and soft on the weak.

[Kang-ho] I know, I know.

- [Mi-ran clears throat]
- That's my favorite thing about you.

[gentle music continues]

How are your parents?

I should pay them a visit.

[clears throat]

How should I greet them?
Happy and energetic?

Or maybe thoughtful and dependable?

Oh.

There is something. What do you think?

- Do you have anything to say about it?
- Okay, fine, it's not that bad.

Yes!

That's good coming from you.

Unless we break up,

the attacks on me will continue.

No matter how tough I am,

it'll eventually take its toll.

And you'll keep feeling guilty.

I also feel guilty that you can't work
on a project you want because of this.

[sighs] And we can't take that risk.

If we hold out,
we'll eventually end up fighting,

so let's have a nice ending.

I'm sorry to bring this up so abruptly.

[inhales sharply]

One of us must initiate,
and what must be done has to be done.

Did you meet Won-jun?

You know, if I had returned
the money back to you,

I might have felt a little better.

Never mind.

I'm really sorry
that I couldn't honor what I said to you,

that you'd be protected.

If you put it that way,

I couldn't protect Kang-ho either.

I'm the reason his ads got canceled.

[inhales]

Anyways, uh,

sympathy isn't why I called you here.

I...

[gentle music playing]

I'm going to leave Kang-ho today.

You'll look out for him, won't you?

- Huh?
- Sorry, I just don't know what else to do.

If not that,

do you have a better idea?

[Won-jun exhales]

- I'm sorry about all this.
- Oh, come on, please don't cry right now.

Just please, watch out for him, all right?

No, I... I know it's better this way.
And I know that it's selfish of me too.

I have an idea that might help us.

We could lie about us ending.

Wha...

Make them think we broke up.

Why should we have to break up?
Why should we let them do that?

The public doesn't need to know anything.

And nobody's getting hurt.
If anything, they don't deserve to know.

Nothing's worth losing you.

Is this really what we're doing?

We need the public to sympathize.

We can't lose
the advertisers and the movie.

I know. We could've just said,
"Nam Kang-ho didn't know. He was lied to."

Kang-ho was not lied to.

They broke up because of public opinion.

[solemn music playing]

Mr. Do said to protect
Ms. Yeo as much as we can.

And that's exactly what we owe to Mi-ran.

This just in, new information
on Nam Kang-ho's girlfriend.

The two have broken up and separated.

A lot of people think that Nam Kang-ho
learned he had a promiscuous girlfriend

and, in the end, could not forgive her.

Looks like the people
were entirely wrong about it.

His girlfriend was actually the one
who wanted to separate the whole time.

Nam Kang-ho begged to stay together.

Contrary to what the public is thinking,

the girlfriend never hid
her past from him at all,

and Nam Kang-ho
knew everything from the start.

[sighs] Kang-ho?

[emotional music playing]

Kang-ho.

[Kang-ho] I'm fine.

You can go.

I know you won't find
another girl like her.

I even thought maybe you could

choose Mi-ran and give up acting

and just get out of the business.

I also thought hard
about whether I'm your friend or manager.

There's a lot to think about.

[inhales slowly]

As your friend,

no matter what happens with work,
to me, you come before anything.

- [Kang-ho] Won-jun.
- Yeah, Kang-ho?

[Kang-ho] I said I'm fine.

So just go.

Okay.

Let me know if you need someone.

[Kang-ho] 'Kay.

[Won-jun] Yeah.

[emotional music continues]

Oh, it's so hot. [exhales deeply]

That was good.

[exhales] This place
isn't so safe after all.

Wanna get out of here?

Hm?

[chuckles]

[sizzling]

[intriguing music playing]

[feigning coughs]

[woman] You can start eating
the gopchang first.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

[exhales] Wow, look at this.

[laughs]

Mmm!

Oh man, gopchang on the grill is the best.

MISSED CALL

- [phone beeps]
- [phone line ringing]

[Won-jun] Na-eun.

[woman] Welcome.

[chuckles softly]

[hesitates] I thought you weren't coming.
[chuckles softly] Do you wanna sit down?

Actually I can't drink
while wearing company uniform.

Is that so?

[Na-eun exhales]

Give me a moment.

How much did you drink?

Uh, just that bottle.

Well, actually,
both of those bottles, yeah.

I stopped drinking once I spoke
to you on the phone, though, so...

I wanted to make sure I was sober...
so I could really talk to you.

[chuckles softly]

[gentle music playing]

- Oh, you didn't eat yet, did you?
- No, not yet.

Would you like to go somewhere else?
Is there a certain place you like?

[chuckles] It's all good.

Plus, you still have
all this food left on the table.

And... I'd rather drink than eat.

[exhales]

I appreciate you being here.

Hmm. [inhales]

So why are you here drinking all alone?

It's just been hard recently.

I don't really have anyone to talk to,

except for you.

You're the only one.

I egged her on into dating him
and had her sign a contract

and got her all wrapped up with Kang-ho.

I had no idea I was this incompetent.

It's pitiful.

[gentle music continues]

[Na-eun inhales, sighs]

I owe an apology

to you too.

[Na-eun exhales]

There's really no need.

[Won-jun exhales deeply]

[smacks lips] And also,

it's not your fault, you know?

[gentle music continues]

Mm.

[laughs] Don't get so down.

I mean, you have to stay strong

to take care of Kang-ho.

All right, so we have
nothing to toast to, but...

We should get out of here.

Why don't you lead?

- So should I just wait for you?
- [chuckles softly]

What do you want?

I was hoping we could stay here
a little longer, actually.

[chuckles] Okay.

- Do you usually wanna go home this fast?
- Not usually, I don't.

So what you got?

Um, karaoke bar?

Karaoke bar?

Yeah, I think I like that.

[sighs]

[phone beeps]

Hey, I'm in room two.

[indistinct chattering]

- [woman] Hey! Hey, over there.
- [man] What?

- Isn't that Nam Kang-ho?
- [woman] That's Nam Kang-ho.

- [Na-eun laughing]
- [Won-jun] I know, right? [laughs]

Ah.

- [intriguing music playing]
- Mmm.

- I was wrong about everything about you.
- Huh?

For starters, I didn't think
you were the type to be drinking alone.

This is a beautiful establishment.

You have to drink at a stall like this
to really appreciate alcohol.

[laughs]

A fancy lounge? [groans]
That's the worst, you know?

I'd rather just drink
at a tteokbokki restaurant. Ugh.

Huh? I love beer and tteokbokki.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Let's get that for round two. You with me?

Word.

[both slurping]

- Mm!
- [moans]

[Na-eun] Mm.

[glasses clink]

[both gulping]

[upbeat music playing]

[both sigh]

That's perfection.

I know, right? [laughs]

I decided to just stay friends with Grace.

Oh... I see.

Maybe we could go out again?

You know, just meet like this occasionally
and enjoy a meal together.

Think Mi-ran will be okay with that?

[sighs]

I guess not.

It'll be really awkward for everyone.

Unfair to them too.

You're right. I hear what you're saying.

Poor Kang-ho. [chuckles softly]

He doesn't even get to see
the woman that he loves,

and I'm able to see you
whenever I want. I mean...

I guess, since this is really it,

I'll just say what's on my mind.

I like you, Na-eun.

[hopeful music playing]

[spluttering]

Oh, just stop.

We won't see each other again,
so why would you say that?

Ugh, stop saying silly things,
and let's end this on a good note.

Wait, I just confessed
my feelings for you.

How could you say that to me?

- [glasses clink]
- How could you be so heartless?

If we meet again in our next life,
you'll get your shot. Hm?

Next life?

[man 1 in English] It's 100%.
Wait till she comes out.

- Here she is.
- What's your name?

- Aren't you Ms. Yeo?
- [woman 1] I think it's her.

Uh, I am. Why do you ask?

- [laughs] Come on, I told you.
- [woman 1] Oh my goodness!

- [man 2] Wow, this is crazy.
- [woman 2] A karaoke date?

[man 2] Man, Kang-ho's reputation
is gonna be ruined.

- [man 3] They even released a statement.
- [man 2] There he is!

[man 1] Yo, is that Kang-ho?

- [people chattering excitedly]
- Are you guys still together?

[woman 2] They didn't break up?
Wow, seriously?

[Kang-ho] Please, let us through.
Passing through.

Wow, how'd he end up
with a lady like that?

What did you say?

- Don't. Let's just go.
- [woman 3] Why don't you break up?

Let's get out of here.

Goddamn it!

[solemn music playing]

[Mi-ran sighs]

What about it?

Is it that I dated around?

If you date one or two guys
and think you found the right one,

do you think you're right?

Aren't you rushing it?
At least I was careful.

Show some respect.

[Kang-ho] Let's go.

[man 2] Wow, she has no shame.
She's so brazen.

Hey, Kang-ho, how does your leash feel?

At least I was careful.

Show some respect.

[Kang-ho] Let's go.

She really is something else.

I just can't believe
she'd say such a thing.

She should have apologized
when her lie was caught,

and this is what she does? She yells?

Yeah, sure, but let's say
that she's a gold digger.

Nam Kang-ho, is this really
what we should expect from you?

[bell rings]

[crying softly]

[gasps] Mom.

[solemn music continues]

[sniffles, blows nose]

[sighs] How is it your fault?

I mean, what am I supposed to do?
Sit back and tolerate abuse?

I'm sure your dad was also just worried.

You're his only daughter, Mi-ran.

But why does
he have to take it out on her?

My mom will just sit there and take it.
Don't go back home!

If you go back home after all that,
then he'll be even more mad!

And you? Are you doing okay?

Me?

I'm worried about you.

Well, what do you wanna do?

Even if I'm on your side,
I'm really upset about all this.

Why does my daughter
have to be humiliated 'cause of a guy?

If I can't go back, you can't go back.

[breathing shakily]

[sighs]

[Won-jun] The very least
you could have done was tell me.

I'm sorry.

I told you I'd protect you both,
and you know how much that meant!

But that wasn't enough for you.

Now you took Mi-ran's career,
and you threw it down the drain.

[sighs]

[Kang-ho] Won-jun.

[poignant music playing]

- [Won-jun sighs]
- What do I do now?

[inhales sharply]

Do what you want.

You said you'd be there for me.

[Won-jun sighs]

[exhales slowly]

[poignant music continues]

[inhales, exhales deeply]

[footsteps departing]

[door opens, closes]

[indistinct chattering]

You came right on time.

Is the food cool by now?

Yes, enjoy your meal.

Go on, eat.

There's always more.

Soo-jin, are you sure
it's okay to be seen together?

I feel like people recognize who we are.

Okay, so what?

What can they say?

That some cheating woman
is hanging out with a succubus?

Yesterday, you were so proud,
so what's different now?

I don't wanna get you in trouble
because of me.

I think Won-jun
has enough to think about today.

[people murmuring excitedly]

[laughs]

I like Won-jun,
but I can't live like he wants me to.

It's not easy when others hate you,

but it's even harder
when you hate yourself.

Letting other people
make you live in fear like that?

What an awful thing to do.

Their opinions aren't going to change
whether I support you or not.

I just don't want you to be scared
like that. That's no way to be.

- [phone ringing]
- Hm. Mm?

- What's up, Sang-sup?
- [Sang-sup] Hello, Soo-jin.

Do you happen to know
where Ms. Yeo is right now?

Kang-ho just announced
that he's gonna hold a press conference.

And to be honest with you,
I'm really confused.

Did he say something to you?

- Uh, he's holding a conference?
- Wait, you didn't know he was going to?

- [Mi-ran exhales sharply]
- [utensils clatter]

NAM KANG-HO
MISSED CALL

[suspenseful music playing]

[reporter 1] He's here.

[cameras clicking rapidly]

Hello.

I want to thank and apologize to everyone.

I know it was a short notice.

Is it okay if we stream this live?

Yes, absolutely. Go ahead.

- [cameras continue clicking]
- [reporter 2] Are you back with her again?

Are you back together,
or did you never break up at all?

Yes, that's correct.

There was no point in time
where I was separated from Mi-ran.

I'm sorry for lying to you all.

[reporters murmuring indistinctly]

LIVE BREAKING NEWS!
NAM KANG-HO PRESS CONFERENCE

[sighs deeply]

[Kang-ho] And if our relationship
disappointed all the fans

who have given me so much love,

I apologize.

[Eun-hee inhales, sighs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Kang-ho] But I can't give up
on the woman I love

just because I feel bad for my fans.

[gasps]

What?

[inhales sharply]

- Oh wow.
- Oh, he crazy for real.

What did he just say?

He says he won't give up on her.

[gasps]

So I'd like to take this opportunity

and ask her to marry me.

[both gasp]

[dramatic music continues]

[reporters murmuring excitedly]

[cameras clicking]

If you're watching,

you said not to feel sorry
about our situation.

[cameras continue clicking]

But I'm so sorry.

I'll make it up to you from now on.

So what do you say?

Honey.

[Mi-ran] Wait a second!

[chairs squeaking on floor]

[hopeful music playing]

[panting]

[continues panting]

Nam Kang-ho is,
out of the countless men that I've dated...

the best man that I've ever met.

He's really a nice person.

And I will never forget someone that...

[breathing heavily]

[hopeful music continues]

...would do so much for me.

No matter what people say,
I won't feel ashamed about it.

And I won't watch Mr. Nam Kang-ho
get hurt because of me either.

So...

You and I know this has to end.

What?

"Everyone grows apart in time."

[chuckles softly]

I used to think
that was such a silly thing to say.

[emotional music playing]

But it's true now.

Isn't it?

[inhales deeply]

[clears throat]

[inhales sharply] It's been great.

Let's make this our good ending.

[emotional music continues]

[Mi-ran] Faced with the cold reality,

we had a passionate goodbye.

Wow, that woman was something else, huh?

Only Nam Kang-ho
could've handled someone like her.

Yeah? I personally thought
she was kind of brave.

You know, I kind of wanna date
someone like her.

That's right.
You can date someone like her.

But how can you marry a woman like that?

I heard that she dated lots of boys.

What's the big deal?

Adults don't like that.

My mom said you have to date around
to know if you found the right guy.

I think she did the right thing.

Nam Kang-ho is awesome!

I know.

[emotional music continues]

[Sang-sup] Sir, aren't you going home?

[sighs] You haven't left either?

- Hurry up and go home.
- Do you maybe want the light on?

[Won-jun] It's fine.

All right.

Hey, Sang-sup?

[Sang-sup] Uh, yes, sir.

[sighs]

- Give me a cigarette.
- Uh, yes.

That was it.

[lighter clicks, crackles]

[footsteps departing]

[door opens]

[inhaling]

[exhales slowly]

- [gentle music playing]
- [inhales sharply]

[sighs]

[groans]

That's enough for you.

Things should be okay in probably... [sighs]

...three months, I'd say.

[chuckles half-heartedly]

Don't you think so?

[growls]

[inhales]

Those assholes at Expose TV ruined this.

Man, they're gonna pay for this. Shit!

Hey. Hey. Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, you're really gonna kill
someone if you go there now.

Please, calm down.

[gentle music continues]

[breathing deeply]

Shouldn't I see him
at least once before I die?

You won't die from a cold.

Come here.

[Mi-ran moans]

[package ripping]

[sighs deeply]

- [liquid pouring]
- [sighs deeply]

I never thought I'd feel this bad.

Why did I do that at a press conference?

[gentle music continues]

[stifling tears, gulps]

[Na-eun] That was the first time...

[Mi-ran sobbing]

[Na-eun] ...I saw Mi-ran cry.

[sighs]

[gentle music continues]

Jeez, those traitors, huh?

They couldn't hate her enough,

and now they hate us
'cause they feel bad for her.

All right.

Our platform's huge,
so this reveal will save us.

Are we going to top our viewership record?

[laughs]

Hello.

- Hey!
- Hello!

- Hey!
- Welcome!

My dude!

- Let's go!
- Welcome.

- [laughing]
- Have a seat. Nice to meet you.

Happy to be here.

Wait, what is he doing?

[Na-eun] Oh, I don't know.
Hang up the phone and just watch it.

[ominous music playing]

[phone keypad clacking]

How will you prove
that you're the ex-boyfriend

of Nam Kang-ho's ex-girlfriend?

We were classmates at law school.

I'm sure all of our friends are watching,
so you can ask any one of them.

[host 1] Yes, understood.

We understand that she was
quite famous back in law school, yes?

Oh my goodness. She was very famous.

- She was super popular.
- Popular with men?

Yeah, among the guys too.

[host 2] In what way was she popular?

[Jin-suh] Instead of me,
why don't you hear from these people?

Jin-suh, what are you...

I found out later that the guy
was set to marry someone in a month.

I was really upset at first.

Well, Mi-ran seduced that guy
in that month's time

and crashed their engagement.

It was the most satisfying thing
in my whole life.

[woman 1] I heard
she doles out punishments to bad guys.

So I told her
that I'd been abused by a guy.

And I don't know how she did it,

but a few days later, he showed up
with bruises all over his face.

He was too embarrassed to admit
he had gotten beat up by a woman.

She was a real hero among the girls.

[woman 2] It's like
a version of philanthropy.

She's a gifted pickup artist,
and she uses it to administer justice.

I bet none of the guys who dated her
will come forward and admit it.

They all deserved exactly what they got.

But I am not like that.

I bet I was probably
the nicest guy among them.

- And that's why we still get along.
- [host 1] Wait. Wait a minute.

Let's stop for a minute.

What is it? You said you would expose her.

[gentle music playing]

- Well, this is the truth.
- [Young-ki clears throat]

[host 1] No, I mean...
Hang on a second. Okay.

Okay, I believe
there's something wrong with the footage.

I did the video editing
all by myself. [chuckles]

That was squeaky clean, Mr. Seo.

[both chuckle]

Yeah, I'm pretty good, aren't I? [laughs]

[applauding]

[Mi-ran] I underestimated men.

Even if they pose and bluff a lot,

the loyalty they showed me...
[choking up] ...was pretty awesome.

[stifling tears]

HER TRUTH, SHE WAS A REAL HERO
EXPOSE TV'S WITCH HUNT, IS IT OKAY?

NAM KNEW ALL ALONG

PROTESTS AGAINST NAM'S BREAKUP
SUPPORT CONTINUES

[gasps] Oh wow!

[squeals] They're all going crazy for you!

[gasps] Wow.

[inhales] But why isn't he calling?

There's no way he's lost interest already.

It hasn't even been a month.

[gentle music continues]

- And why aren't you calling him?
- For what?

Oh, it's not like you to wait
for him to call. If you love this man,

you should call him back.

[phone clicks]

[phone clicks, beeps]

[phone line ringing]

- [Kang-ho, bluntly] What?
- Uh... [clears throat] Hey.

[Kang-ho] Hi.

Uh...

So did

you see the video?

[Kang-ho] Yeah.

Oh, so you did.

Are you doing okay?

[Kang-ho] Yeah. [sighs] I guess.

[Mi-ran] This means it's over.

I was the one who wanted to end it,

yet I'm the one who can't.

- [Kang-ho] Where are you right now?
- Me?

Home.

[Kang-ho] Come outside then.

[inhales shakily]

[footsteps approaching rapidly]

[hand tapping]

[emotional music playing]

How long have you been out here?

Why did you call me?

You have a change of heart?

Well, my heart's never changed.

The circumstances did.

[scoffs]

The circumstances changed?

Circumstances can always change,
so tell me this.

What's different now?

What changed?

What?

[Mi-ran exhales deeply]

So... even with things having changed,

we're not seeing each other again?

What?

You're the one that closed the book.

Now you wanna continue the story?

- [Mi-ran breathing shakily]
- [Kang-ho] Is that why you called me?

Then why are you here?

[exhales] If you were going to tell me
it's over, why come all the way out here?

[sobbing]

You're crying?

[sobbing] No, it's just... I was crying.

- Do you wanna get back together with me?
- No, I don't! [crying]

[Kang-ho] Wow, this is
even better than I expected.

Honey, this isn't a good look for you.

[tearfully] What? [crying]

So cute.

[sniffles, sobbing]

You had me beg for your love,
and then you broke up with me twice.

So I made it equal.

I think I did a pretty good job,
wouldn't you say?

[breathing shakily] What?

Oh, I missed you.

[upbeat pop music playing]

I missed you so much.

[crying]

- Ow! [grunts]
- [sobbing]

Ow, why did you hit me?
You have no right to hit me.

- Ah!
- You think this is funny?

You have no idea how hard this was!

[sobbing]

What, you think it wasn't hard for me?

I couldn't get out of bed.

Wow, the great Yeo Mi-ran is crying.

What am I, the first guy
to make you cry or something?

- [groans]
- [Mi-ran] Shut up!

- [crying]
- [groans]

[upbeat pop music continues]

And don't ever tell me
you wanna break up again.

- I won't stand for it.
- I'll never say that.

I'll never leave you. [crying]

[laughing]

Okay.

I missed you.

- Me too.
- [laughing]

- You were so mean!
- [Kang-ho] Ow!

That's enough, ow.
It's gonna leave a bruise.

COURT

[judge] The plaintiff Choi Soo-jin
has the right to 50% of the property

gained during the marriage.

Also, the plaintiff's claim
that the defendant Park Jae-hyeong

disgraced her by false claims
of infidelity is upheld.

The act of defamation
and the spreading of false rumors...

- [reporter] Tell us what you're thinking.
- What were things like in the courtroom?

Cleared of cheating accusations,
how does it feel?

It wasn't even partial victory but total.
Does the world feel different?

When I said I was innocent,
nobody wanted to listen,

and now look at you.

[upbeat music playing]

By the way...
One, two, three, four, five, six.

There's only six of you here? [sighs]

When it was about me having an affair,
there were dozens of you.

You wrote over 200 articles,
but I win in court, and six is all I get?

Well, I guess you guys
are at least half decent.

So thanks for that.

I feel relieved and vindicated
to have my name cleared.

Any other sordid details you want from me?

I'd love to share, so yeah, call.

Okay, that will be all for today.

Oh, excuse me.
You're Ms. Yeo Mi-ran, right?

Are you planning
on marrying Mr. Nam Kang-ho?

Sorry, no comment.

Uh...

REAL ACTION NOIR

- [reporters clamoring]
- [cameras clicking rapidly]

It was good.

- Hey, what are you doing?
- Wait.

Oh, come on.
Oh, you've met plenty of celebrities.

Oh Se-na isn't just a celebrity.

Wow, she really is
on a whole 'nother level than Lia.

- I'm more nervous than when I met Soo-jin.
- Let go and come on!

- Hey, wait!
- Hey, hey.

- [Mi-ran] Se-na.
- You're here.

These are my fellow attorneys from work,

and they wanted to say hi to you.

Ah.

Nice to meet you.

- Yes, hello.
- Hello.

I merely go where the light takes me.
You're so beautiful.

- [Se-na laughs]
- Mi-ran.

- Oh!
- Oh, you made it!

Sir, it's ready. Please go in.

Let's all go inside.

- Let's go.
- [Jin-suh] Mi-ran.

[Young-ki laughs awkwardly]

Have I seen you before?

[gasps] Oh, it is you.
You're Mi-ran's ex, isn't that right?

Oh, yeah.

Wow, you have a great memory. [laughs]

In that case,
you also work together, don't you?

Yeah, over at Gilmu.

It's nice that even after the breakup,
she's friends with you.

Oh, it wasn't a good breakup.
He cheated on her. [chuckles]

[gasps]

[Young-ki] Facts.

Wait, I'm sorry. You cheated?

[laughs]

Oh my gosh. That's interesting.

[mellow music playing]

Where is Won-jun?

I don't know.
He's been ignoring my call and texts.

Wow. Thanks so much.

You did an amazing job.
I'll enjoy the movie. [chuckles]

Thank you.

Sorry I'm late. This place is overflowing.

[sighs]

Are you and Kang-ho fighting or something?

It's hard to fight somebody
when they won't talk to you.

You're the one who's not talking, not me.

[clears throat] Is the script ready yet?

[Won-jun] Yeah. Well, almost.

- The script for what?
- Won-jun's producing a film right now.

A film?

You didn't know? He's making a film noir.

[intriguing music playing]

Why didn't you say anything?

Oh, at one point,
you were gonna quit acting,

so there was really nothing to say.

When did I say I was done?
[scoffs] I don't wanna read it anyways.

Who's the male lead?

- NONYA.
- Come on, you're gonna be like that?

[Won-jun clears throat]

[Grace clears throat]

Why don't we switch seats?

Nah, nah, nah. No way.

God, seriously.
You were never my bro, huh? Go away. Go.

Get out.

Oh, uh...

[dramatic music plays on screen]

[clears throat]

[upbeat music playing]

[clears throat] It's been a minute.

Hm. Yeah.

Are we still in our current life?

[Na-eun inhales slowly]

[upbeat music continues]

[kissing continues on screen]

[grunting, groaning on screen]

- [Jin-suh] Oh, is that you?
- Oh, that's me! Right there!

- [grunting on screen]
- [gasps]

- Is your back okay?
- Yeah. It's not real.

[Na-eun breathing heavily]

[man on screen] I'll tell them
you aren't the killer! [groans]

[grunting on screen]

I need to talk to you after the movie.

[Na-eun sighs]

I need you to trust me and stay here.

I hear you, clearly.

So please be quiet.

[Kang-ho on screen]
It's like killing a bug.

[emotional music playing on screen]

- [Jin-suh gasps]
- Yeah. "I'm not dead."

- [Jin-suh gasps]
- [Se-na on screen] I'm not dead.

- [gasps]
- [Se-na] I think I'm gonna be okay.

- She's not dead.
- [growls playfully]

- [sighs]
- [grunts]

[both crying joyfully]

[Na-eun sniffles]

[emotional music continues on screen]

[tearfully] It's so sad. [sniffles]

[Se-na, Kang-ho laughing on screen]

[both continue laughing]

[audience applauding, cheering]

[cameras clicking]

[Mi-ran] Whoo!

[chuckles]

[laughing]

- You were great.
- So sweet.

[indistinct chattering]

Did you like it?

Thank you. Yes. Good work.

- What did Mr. Do say before?
- Ah, well, not much. He wanted me to stay.

So is there still some trauma there?

What's so scary about it?

Hey.

You had a rough time, I suppose.

In actuality, hot guys can be nice.

[laughs softly]

[car horn honks]

Whoa, whoa. Stop, stop, stop, stop.

[upbeat pop music playing]

Oh my.

What, is he imitating Richard Gere?

[crowd exclaiming]

Is he out of his mind?

[in singsong] Oh, no.
I better step away. Oh! [laughs]

Bro, what are you doing? [laughs]

[crowd chattering indistinctly]

I never saw myself
doing anything this embarrassing...

but now I have good reason.

Ms. Shin Na-eun...

you're an amazing woman.

- [Mi-ran gasps]
- [Kang-ho] Oh! Oh!

[both gasping]

[Jin-suh giggling]

[Kang-ho chuckles]

[Mi-ran squeals]

[crowd applauding]

Na-eun.

Be my girlfriend.

[crowd applauding, cheering]

[upbeat pop music continues]

- What are you doing? Get off the ground!
- [crowd chants] Say yes! Say yes!

Uh, I'm gonna need an answer from you.

I'm on the ground. My knees hurt.
I can't just get up.

[splutters] Please, please, just please!

Oh, this man!

What he hates the most in this world
is doing embarrassing things.

[laughs] Well, I know someone
who proposed and was denied.

Oh.

[crowd chants] Say yes! Say yes!

If you insist, Mr. Do.

- [crowd cheers]
- [Kang-ho laughing]

[upbeat pop music continues]

Na-eun.

So I guess we're, uh...

together now?

[laughs]

I would say so.

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[Mi-ran, Kang-ho laughing]

[upbeat pop music continues]

- [woman 1] You're so handsome.
- [Kang-ho] Oh, thank you.

- [woman 2] So cute together.
- Thank you.

- [woman 3] Be happy together.
- Thanks.

[Mi-ran chuckles]

So what if you ask Na-eun

to get Won-jun to cast me in his movie?

Even if I don't actually do that,
he will come around soon.

When you're in love,
you become more generous.

- Right?
- [laughs]

- So, when are we getting married then?
- Hmm.

- Is that still your plan?
- Well, the breakup was canceled.

The proposal still stands.

What are you saying?
I told you I don't believe in all that.

Why?

[sighs] Okay, so...
then you really wouldn't like to?

Oh, no, it isn't that I don't love you.

I don't like
the marriage culture of Korea.

The marriage culture of Korea?

Well, then we just won't live like that.

I wanna have about two kids. [laughs]

I'm not getting married.

- Oh, just give it a thought, will you?
- [Mi-ran] You never listen to me.

I love you.

[Mi-ran] Another battle has begun.

A battle to tame and to not be tamed.

That was so good.

Oh, by the way,
Won-jun's meeting my parents this weekend.

- [gasps] Seriously?
- [laughs] Yeah. I showed my mom a photo.

She thought he was so cute,
and she freaked out.

[squeals] Oh my God!

She was like, "I can't believe it!"

[both laughing]

Oh, that's amazing! [laughs]

[men laughing drunkenly]

- [smooches]
- [bell dings]

Oh wow.

[continues laughing]

- Excuse me, sir. Sir?
- Huh?

Say you're sorry.

For what?

Oh.

[in baby voice] Oh, I did it
'cause you're so pretty.

[man laughing]

So very pretty. Hm.

Ah! [laughs] You're just so pretty.

Oh, so pretty. So pretty!

Ah, so pretty.

You little punk! You can't say that.

- [Kang-ho] What's going on?
- [Won-jun] What's wrong?

What's happening here? Huh?

This guy here,
he took his hand and was all like...

[snaps fingers]

It was so weird.

What did he do?

You think you can do that,
and I'll let it happen?

Oh, excuse me.

- Damn, come on. Let's go.
- [man] Oh, I'm sorry about that.

Oh, you're on thin ice, jazz hands!

- What's wrong with you?
- Do it again, I'll rip out your hair!

- Oh, it's okay.
- [Mi-ran] Ah!

Right. Women are easy prey,
and men are scary. Mm-hmm.

Come on. They're not gonna look down
on women anymore.

- 'Cause they're gonna pay.
- [energetic rock music playing]

Hey!

Honey!

- Get back here!
- No, please!

- Stop right there! Come here!
- [Kang-ho] Honey! No!

[men shouting]

You bastards!
You're dead when I catch you!

- Why are you so fast?
- You made me this way!

- You're a good runner.
- [Mi-ran] Hey, you!

LOVE TO HATE YOU

[energetic rock music continues]
