Love to Hate You (2023): Season 1, Episode 9 - You Made Me Who I Am - full transcript

[upbeat rhythmic music playing]

♪ Love to hate you ♪

[vocalizing]

[pensive music playing]

[both breathing heavily]

[Kang-ho grunts]

[both continue breathing heavily]

[Mi-ran exhales]

Mm, wait, wait, wait a second. [exhales]

[both breathing heavily]

[stifling laughter]



What?

[sighs]

This feels a little odd.

What, having sex on day one?

No, hooking up
without even saying, "I like you."

We said it earlier.

[scoffs]

What about the next step?

I love you.

You've never said it?

- No.
- Not once even?

[gentle music playing]

- No.
- [Kang-ho] It's okay.

You can say it later.



I'm always taking the lead with you.

- [chuckles]
- Do I have to say it out loud?

- I thought only guys said that.
- [chuckles]

[gentle music continues]

[Mi-ran gasps, chuckles]

I think this really sealed the deal.

I fell for you
'cause you weren't like other women.

The women I know were all
manipulative, selfish, and calculating.

You were so "act now, think later,"
rash, and idiotic.

What do you mean, idiotic?

- Courageous.
- [Mi-ran chuckles softly]

Frankly, I liked you
from even before that.

[Mi-ran sighs softly]

So what did it for you?

When you threw the boomerang.

[laughs]

[laughs]

It's true that men
are attracted to unusual women.

Oh, you were unusual.

You drove like a maniac.

You got all beaten-up on your birthday.

And you risked
your own life to save a stranger.

There's no stranger when saving lives.

You're right.
You're a hero who would save anyone.

Wait, no. You're a heroine,
since you're a woman.

[gentle music continues]

Respect.

You know that I mean it, right?

[Mi-ran inhales deeply, exhales]

I just wasn't expecting you

to be showering me
with compliments like this.

That was nice of you.

[Soo-jin on phone] You'll win if you know
your enemy and know yourself.

But I'm not talking about winning here.

I just think it'd be good
if you read Mi-ran's mom's book.

You know, Mi-ran's father
is extremely sexist,

so her mother suffered
a great deal of unfairness over the years.

It's a huge plus
that my mom likes you, honey.

- I don't care what my dad thinks.
- "Honey"?

- Mmm.
- Good. That was natural.

[Mi-ran chuckles softly]

[Kang-ho inhales deeply]

[grunting softly]

[romantic music playing]

[Mi-ran grunts softly]

[sighs contentedly]

YOU MADE ME WHO I AM

[indistinct chattering]

I think I'm gonna cry. What do I do?

It's all right.
Hey, you're gonna be great.

Once the cameras start rolling,

you'll turn back
into a movie star right away.

[sighs] I should have shot
this scene before I saw that.

The image of him
grabbing that woman's hand

and taking her to his room

keeps on replaying in my head.

- [baby crying]
- Ah, damn it. It's driving me crazy.

[smacks lips] Well, then,

can you take how you feel

and use that feeling
while you're out there?

You do know that this scene
actually requires you to portray

a bit of sadness, don't you?

[intriguing music playing]

Just cry! You should take advantage
of this opportunity with him.

This is your last kiss,
and you can't have him back.

Make it special.

Are you sure? I can't have him back?

I don't think Mi-ran
actually likes Kang-ho.

You're wrong.

They are quite serious.

I brought it 'cause you wouldn't tell me
your account info.

No. Honestly,
you don't have to return this money.

How could I keep seeing him
after taking this?

Na-eun told me not to touch it.

She said that you'll never know
how things are gonna turn out.

[phone vibrating]

Hey.

Are you out of your mind?

[solemn music playing]

How could you forget
something so important?

- [rapid footsteps approach]
- Kang-ho, Hyeok-su on standby.

- Oh, yeah. Thanks, got it.
- All right.

Hey, I'll tell them
that you're feeling sick,

so pretend you're dizzy.
Come on, just drop down. Now.

No, no. I'll do it.

Do what?

I'll do the kiss scene.

Huh?

Just trust me. I can do this.

[Won-jun exhales]

[romantic pop music playing]

[Kang-ho inhaling deeply]

[breathing shakily]

[romantic pop music continues]

[Se-na exhales sharply]

[both breathing heavily]

Cut!

[Kang-ho exhales deeply]

- Uh...
- [intriguing music playing]

- [Sung-jun] Mm.
- [Kang-ho] Thanks.

So you took the medicine,
you little bastard.

- Why'd you scare me like that?
- I didn't take them.

- For real?
- Yeah.

And I did it.

[upbeat pop music playing]

[Mi-ran laughs bashfully]

Oh, do you really need to ask me that?

Of course. You're dating
none other than Nam Kang-ho,

but you've never fallen
for anyone else before.

[laughs]

So I'm totally curious,
what made you fall for him?

Was it his face, his voice, body,

or technique?

[laughing]

Don't you dare say, "His personality."

Hmm.

His arm. [chuckles softly]

Hm?

He put his arm
under my head while I slept.

- That's really what attracted you?
- Mmm. [chuckles]

Oh my God! That's crazy.

What?

It turns out,
there's a little girl inside?

[gasps, chuckles]

Finally, you're really in love.

[sighs contentedly]

[chuckles softly]

Don't you just love this song?

- You really like this song?
- Mmm.

[upbeat pop music continues]

[in Korean] ♪ It screams out
For the whole world to hear ♪

♪ Why am I hearing it now? ♪

[inhales sharply, vocalizing]

♪ And finally, we've met ♪

[in English] Don't you love that part,
"And finally, we've met"? [sighs deeply]

[Mi-ran] There's always a chance.

When it comes to lawsuits,
nothing is guaranteed.

I don't think you need to move first

and pay the court deposit.

Let me know what stance
the other side takes, okay?

[phone beeps off]

[phone vibrating]

NAM KANG-HO

- [poutingly] Hi.
- Did you have lunch yet?

Mmm!

[amusing music playing]

- What did you eat?
- [laughs, in baby voice] Doenjang-jjigae.

Oh, doenjang-jjigae, huh?

[Mi-ran] Did I just... talk like a... baby?

[Jin-suh groans]

[Mi-ran gasps]

[chuckles] So are you done yet?

My dad was rich, and my mom was poor.

He loved her,
but maybe Mom only cared about money.

[pensive music playing]

We were a... very happy family
until my mom took me to America.

But after my dad's business failed,
we returned to Korea.

[scoffs]

I've never seen
my mom comfort my dad once.

He always felt guilty that he was broke.

Then he passed away
from a car accident suddenly,

and I had a stepdad
in less than two years.

He was very rich.

[chuckles softly]

I swore to myself that I'd never end up
with a woman like that,

but I failed in my first love
in a very similar way.

[scoffs]

[pensive music continues]

It must have been hard.

[Kang-ho exhales]

[Mi-ran sighs]

I also have something to share.

My recent ex-boyfriend
is Attorney Lee Jin-suh at the firm.

I needed a job, so I was asking around.

And every other firm told me no.

I really needed the money,
so I couldn't walk away.

[inhales sharply]

We're just coworkers,
and we're keeping everything cordial.

- Don't worry.
- [chuckles softly, clicks tongue]

Well, I'm also working with Oh Se-na.

We even did scene 94 yesterday.

- [sighs]
- Ah.

What? You know about it?

I do. The motel scene.

I remember things like that.

I didn't think
you'd remember that kind of thing.

I know, right? [inhales]

I can baby-talk and get jealous too.

[Kang-ho chuckles] Oh, that's right.

That was cute.

[in baby voice] Doenjang-jjigae.

[laughing]

Stop it.

- [in baby voice] Doenjang-jjigae?
- [laughing]

- Stop it!
- [laughing]

- Why?
- Stop it!

- Why?
- Stop it! Stop saying that!

- Say it again.
- Ah! Hey!

- I'm never gonna say that again!
- Then say something else.

[in baby voice] Kimchi-jjigae.

- [both laugh]
- Hey!

- "Hey"?
- [laughing]

- [grunting]
- [Kang-ho groans]

[gasps] Does it hurt?

Know what? I liked it.

- My turn.
- Ah! [laughing]

- Why, you!
- [laughing] And this side too.

[both laughing]

- Now the neck. Now the neck.
- No. No, no, no. No, no!

[laughing]

[gentle music playing]

I'm gonna bite you in the face.

You're wanna bite me, huh?

- I know you do.
- [grunts, laughing]

- I have to be up for work.
- [groans]

I should really get going.

[Kang-ho groans]

- [chuckles] I have to go to work.
- [sighs]

[doorbell rings]

- [Mi-ran] What's that?
- Breakfast.

[upbeat pop music playing]

[both chuckling]

[Mi-ran laughs]

You really like me, huh?

What time do you get off work?

[chuckles] Aren't you tired?

[screams, laughing]

[Sang-sup] Hey,
why don't you take a day off?

You look really exhausted.

The more I try to rest,

the more tired I get.

[upbeat pop music continues]

[both chuckling]

[Kang-ho] There must be a beast inside me.

I crave seeing her every hour

and every day.

[exhales deeply, inhales]

Since they're dating,

inevitably, we'd run into each other too.

So I'm gonna get this off my chest now.

Honestly, I really found
myself falling for you.

But you're way out of my league,

so I know
that it'll never work between us.

So please, help me get over you.

Help me find my inner peace.

- Inner peace?
- [Na-eun] Yes.

I just need you to be quiet for a second
and hear me out.

Once I reveal how pathetic I am,

I don't think I'll be all that worried
about impressing you again.

[intriguing music playing]

[sighs] Honestly, I'm a little broke.
I have a 50-million bank loan...

Oh. [exhales]
I just thought you were frugal.

When Mi-ran and I moved in together,

we pooled our savings together,
and I still had to take out a big loan.

There are fewer flights,
so my income was low.

And there was a guy who swindled
my savings without paying it back.

Come to think of it, I guess
I lent him, like, three million? Or more?

- I also lost smaller sums to others.
- Wow, you dated men like that?

Yeah. I'm not the best
at picking decent men.

- I tend to fall for the handsome ones.
- Ah.

And I have a bad habit when I'm drunk.

I'd call them
and make a pathetic fool out of myself,

crying and asking them,
"How could you do what you do?"

Oh, you were heartbroken,
so that's totally understandable.

Please don't.

I don't need such kind words from you.

Anyway, thank you for coming today.

I appreciate it.

Whoa, whoa. Wait. W... wait a minute.

You can't just spill
all those embarrassing secrets

about yourself and leave.

It makes me feel really bad, you know?

- Please, sit.
- [clears throat]

[intriguing music continues]

- I'm quite pathetic myself.
- [chiming]

If you hear my stories,

it might help you a lot
with finding your inner peace.

No, no.

Then we'd be equal,
and I would just fall for you.

You're supposed
to crush my hopes altogether.

[splutters]

[chuckling] Jeez.

[laughing]

Wow, birds of a feather flock together.

You yourself are
just as much of an oddball as Ms. Yeo.

- Are you speaking ill of Mi-ran now?
- No, no, no.

I just find you amusing.

When I said "oddball,"
that was a good thing. [smacks lips]

Well, then, I guess the four of us
going on trips and hanging out

is a done deal?

I would say so.

Brief meetings, we could do,
but I'm not so sure about trips.

You three can go.

You want me to tag along
like a third wheel?

By myself? I'll look stupid.

Oh, I guess that would kinda suck.

I mean, why did you
have to fall for me, huh?

Look what you did
to mess things up like this. Gosh.

What, did you think it'd be fun
if I went along with you all?

- Yeah.
- [gasps softly, sighs]

Now, no. Stop saying things like that.
Thank you so much for your time today.

You have a nice day.

[intriguing music continues]

[sighing]

[exhales] Why are you so mad, dude?

[grunts] Is it because
the four of us can't hang out?

Oh, where did that file go?

[indistinct chattering in background]

Thanks a lot.

Oh, coffee.

I'm gonna get some coffee. Anyone?

[intriguing music playing]

- Huh.
- Hey. She scares me. What's going on?

[smacks lips] Huh.

[humming melody]

- [clears throat]
- Coffee?

I've always said people don't change,
but I guess I was wrong.

You seem so different these days.

- [baby laughs]
- [laughs] Are you mad about it?

No, it's not that.

It's creepy, honestly.

The other guys are spooked too.

[clears throat]

Do you wanna grab a drink later?

It's all thanks to you.
I owe you a nice meal.

[Soo-jin] Oh, look at you!
I didn't do much.

But you think buying me dinner is enough?

Where's mine?

So you don't have hands now?
Two left feet too, huh?

[scoffs]

You can get your own glass.
I believe in you.

So, did you have a bad day today?

Oh, come on,
it's not like I'm taking it out on you

because I had a bad day.

I just think that you should handle
more of your things yourself.

And by the way, I don't wanna pretend
to be female role anymore!

Plus I hated
the romance genre more than you did!

It was so disgusting that I nearly puked,
but I endured it for you.

Hey, puking's a bit much.

Man, look how easily
you overcame that condition.

You had me suffer all this time
with that stupid condition of yours.

[Kang-ho inhales]

Hey, if you could pull off
a kiss with Se-na,

then you could do it
with just about any actress.

- Am I right to say that?
- Honestly... it's a mystery.

[intriguing music playing]

It's not like I suddenly find Se-na
or other women more likable.

It feels like something inside

was once frozen and now thawed.

Well, that must be
what being cured feels like.

- Are you happy at least?
- Yeah.

That's good then. Finally, that's
a huge load off my shoulders, truly.

[chuckles softly]

- [Won-jun sniffs]
- [doorbell rings]

Oh. She's here already?

Who?

I apologize.

Out of desperation, I joined this firm,

made you uncomfortable,
and took a client from you.

[inhales] You didn't take away my client.

Choi Soo-jin was already gonna pick
someone else to represent her.

There were other things, not just that.

I know that there were times
that I made you feel like a loser.

So you know.

"Someone like you means nothing to me."

"Men like you are a dime a dozen."

That kinda thing?

Did you do it on purpose?

[sighs deeply] I can't say
it wasn't on purpose.

- [scoffs]
- But it wasn't just to you alone.

I know. All the guys
that dated you from law school...

[inhales sharply]

You know what? Huh.
They were all two-timing cheaters.

I knew you were
double, triple cheating on me.

Hold on. Wait a minute.

Did you date those types of guys
on purpose? To punish them?

Cheating types are easier to seduce,

fun to hang out with,
and they're easier to let go.

Whoa. I was dating
a terrifying woman then, huh?

So even though you weren't into them,
you dated them

so you could break their hearts?
Am I right?

To those guys, dating is just like a game.

- And I was just playing it.
- [scoffs]

I'm a big fan of the saying,
"An eye for an eye."

I live my life that way.

These men have no empathy,
so I had to make them learn it.

The only way they know what they've done.

So Nam Kang-ho is
another one of those to you, huh?

He's not.

You know, a good person...

[poignant music playing]

...isn't someone who's just nice.

It's someone who can inspire
others around them to be nice.

Nam Kang-ho, a good person?

That's what I think.

He's turning me into a nice person.

I'll tell you.

If you really wanna thank me,
then throw me a surprise party.

- A fun one!
- A party?

Look at the mess you're in right now.
You still wanna party?

Oh, that's why I'm asking
Nam Kang-ho to host it.

He will throw a party
and invite me to be there

in all of my glory.

We didn't do anything for Christmas.
I don't wanna spend the holidays alone.

Depressing.

[intriguing music playing]

Oh, can't you just stay quiet
for a little while? [whimpers]

Just stay depressed for a while, then.

I've seen you get
irritated and angry plenty of times,

but I've never actually seen
you get depressed.

- [scoffs]
- It'll help you act too.

Help me act? So I'm not a priority?

Hey, what's up with him today?

[Won-jun sighs]

I think he's stressed-out because of me.
I gave him a lot of headaches.

Wait.

Something's going on here.

[Kang-ho chuckles]

Are you irritated
'cause Kang-ho has a girlfriend?

And why isn't Mi-ran here?
Shouldn't she be on her way?

No. She and her friend went out.

[groans drunkenly]

There were a lot of times
when you were nice when we dated.

You paid for expensive meals

and let me pay for cheap ones.

[Mi-ran sighs]

Let's go. I'll take you home.

Taxi!

That was the first time
I ever went to a hotel with another woman.

Damn it. Stop lying, you idiot.
You know I can tell when you lie, right?

- Hm?
- Gosh, seriously.

How did you know?

- [sighs]
- You're a psychic.

- Huh? [grunting]
- All right, I'm sorry!

Just forget this guy
who lies all the time. [exclaims]

[Mi-ran sighs, grunts]

- Have a... nice life.
- [phone ringing]

Where are you going?

- Yeah? What's up?
- [Kang-ho] Are you still out?

[Mi-ran sighs]

Hey. Come on, stand up.

- No cab will take you like this.
- Get Lee Jin-suh on the phone.

He's in no shape to talk. Don't worry,
I'll get a cab to take him back.

[Jin-suh] Oh, just forget about me and go.

A grown man
doesn't need help getting home.

Wait there.

[intriguing music playing]

Something urgent has come up.

Make yourself at home.
All the drinks are in there.

[gasps]

He's totally my type.
I had no idea. Truly, I had no idea.

Who knew? Wow!

You boys are so silly.

- Hey.
- What?

What goes on in the mind
of a woman who rejects you

when it hasn't even occurred to you

that you might want
to ask her out at some point in time?

Is she literally rejecting you,

or is that her way
of telling you that she's interested?

Were you rejected, Mr. Do?

Yeah.

She said that it's impossible between us.
And I was just sitting there, you know?

- She said that all on her own.
- So who is she?

Oh, you don't know her.
We met not long ago.

Mmm. So it's someone I don't know.

Mm-hm.

Wow, that's really intriguing.

So what girl
was able to woo you like that?

What?

It's obvious that you're annoyed
because she's rejected you.

[sighs, grunts]

Just a moment.

- Jin-suh.
- [mumbles drunkenly]

- Let's go. The cab's here.
- Oh, taxi.

Oh no! Wait, don't go!

- I'll report you! You watch out!
- Watch out!

This is killing me. [sighs]

Huh? Why are you here?

I only told you on the phone
where we were because you asked.

You didn't have to do that.

[upbeat music playing]

- I got him. I'll hold him.
- [Jin-suh moans]

- You go get the cab.
- Okay.

Oh, no. I'm fine.

Go.

God bless.

Impressive. What a sight to see
you taking care of your ex-boyfriend

in front of your current one.

Are you mad?

Are you asking why I'm mad
like there's no reason for me to be?

[sighs] Hey!
I'm staying out this late with my ex,

so you have a right to be upset. [laughs]

And hey, I'm sorry if I upset you, hm?

- [woman 1 screams]
- What's wrong with him?

- Hey!
- [woman 2] What is wrong with you?

[groans]

- Yeah, I'm okay.
- [woman 2] He's so annoying.

[shouts, groans]

What's your home address?
I need you to help me out.

It's Seodaemun-gu, Hongeun-dong.

No, that's where I lived.

Your house is in Sadang-dong.

Ah, you still remember my address, huh?

[Mi-ran sighs]

[grunts]

So, um, I feel really, really bad.

It's just I should probably make sure
he gets home okay.

He almost froze to death
on the streets last winter.

Let's get a cab.

Let's get you... Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- [Jin-suh moans]
- All right. Okay, okay. [grunts] Shit.

- Why are you getting in?
- You can go home now, Ms. Yeo.

[grunting]

[cab engine revving]

Would you look at that?

[sighs]

If... I never cheated on you...

[amusing music playing]

...would we still be together?

Hm.

Absolutely not.

Huh?

[chuckles]

You're right.

You didn't go out with me
because you liked me in the first place.

You didn't like any of the guys you dated.

[baby cries]

[sobbing]

[continues sobbing]

But I still...

liked you a lot.

[continues sobbing]

[Kang-ho sighs]

Shit.

Yep.

I should congratulate you.

[inhales deeply]

Mi-ran, now that you have met
a guy you truly like,

I wish you happiness.

[sniffling]

[Won-jun] I guess the four of us
going on trips and hanging out

is a done deal?

So why can't we do that?

Even Mi-ran and Nam Kang-ho are dating.

- [phone vibrating]
- [sighs]

- [gasps]
- [phone continues vibrating]

CEO DO WON-JUN

Why is he calling me? Why?
Oh, I thought I explained everything.

Oh, please don't do this.

[inhales sharply]

Well, hello.

[Won-jun] This is Do Won-jun.

Ah, yeah.

I have some questions I wanna ask you.

I'm outside your place right now.

Are you not home?

Ah, no, I just got back.

[laughs]

Okay.

Uh, I'll be right there.

I just need a minute.

[intriguing music playing]

[exhales deeply]

Oh, why is he doing that?

[Won-jun inhales, exhales deeply]

[clears throat]

[intriguing music continues]

Is it something
you couldn't ask over the phone?

You also showed up
and rejected me in person

when you absolutely could have done it
over the phone.

Uh, that was, uh,
'cause I had a lot I wanted to say to you.

What I'm about to ask you tonight...
is better discussed in person as well.

[sighs]

[chair clacking, squeaks]

[inhales]

[groans]

So what do you need to know?

Can you tell me,
of all the men you've met so far,

is there anyone
you can't seem to get over?

Is there someone that you'd like to try...

[inhales]...maybe going back to?

[scoffs] Gosh, no!

If anything, I wanna stop
any woman from dating them.

I wanna tell them not to be fooled
by their looks and to leave them alone.

Right?

Since you had that experience,

you're thinking that I'm probably
no different from the other guys, huh?

- Well, don't you think so?
- [clears throat]

[pensive music playing]

[groans] This is coming out
all wrong again, damn it. Gosh.

[smacks lips, inhales deeply]

Okay. You're right.

It is true that I've always been
kind of popular among the ladies.

But you treat me
like I'm on a whole nother level.

Is that how you think of me?

And to talk about
who's out of whose league,

that made me uncomfortable.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with you.
[splutters] What's your problem, anyway!

Are you here to ask questions,
or are you just gonna scold?

Oh no.

Uh, I didn't mean to yell.

I thought I've made it quite clear.

So why did you call me so late at night,

start being all sweet,
and then take me out?

That was sweet to you? I didn't say that
to make myself look like a sweet guy.

So what, then?

"Just go out with me.
Everything'll be great."

So you took me here to ask me out?

Huh?

[sighs]

[pensive music continues]

Uh...

So what I'm trying to say is,

you're a fine woman
who can date anybody that you want to,

literally anybody.

And I think
you're being too harsh on yourself.

The fact that you met
all those unworthy men before?

That's 'cause you just have a pure heart.

Being wary of men
because of your past experiences

will ultimately... [exhales]
...um, make you really miserable.

[scoffs] Oh gosh.

- Oh, what's wrong with you, huh?
- What did I do?

Is the cat now worried for the mouse?

A mouse will go on to date another mouse,
so stop it already and go away!

[exhales sharply]

[splutters, sighs]

[Won-jun] Was I being sweet again?

[cab door closes]

[cab engine idling]

[engine revving]

I'm sorry. Why did you put yourself
through all that trouble?

I could have taken care of it.

You take asshole home like this
when you were together?

Uh-huh.

Uh, I mean...

- I would.
- [scoffs]

[intriguing music playing]

So you did it every time, huh? [sighs]

Wow, the two of you are really a lot.

I mean, now I gotta give you a ride
'cause you're here!

[sighs] No, you don't have to do that.

[cat meows]

- I don't have to go.
- Oh yeah? You're not working?

Tomorrow, I'll be on set,

so it's all good.

So you're good, yeah?

You feeling better that I'm staying?

[Kang-ho sighs]

- I was never angry with you.
- Oh yeah? Then I'll go now.

Hm! Good night!

Hey!

Yeah?

Are you serious?

Come over here.

You said you weren't mad,
so why would I stay here with you?

See? Look at this.
Now you're mad 'cause I wanna go.

Okay, fine then. I'm angry!

- [scoffs]
- [door slams]

Oh, what's the matter?

- Uh?
- [Kang-ho] Hey!

- [screams]
- Aw, come here.

Huh? Wait! [screams]

Wait, wait.

We have a shoot in the morning.

I'll be quick.

- Oh, wait. What are you saying? [laughs]
- [laughing] Oh!

[grunts] We have a shoot tomorrow.

- [Kang-ho groans]
- [Mi-ran] Better tap out. [grunts]

- [Kang-ho wheezing]
- [Mi-ran panting]

[laughs]

[upbeat pop music playing]

- [Mi-ran grunts]
- Hold on. [chokes] Ah!

[laughs] I said no.

- [Kang-ho groans]
- [Mi-ran laughing]

[coughs] Okay. I give up. I give up.

[gasping]

[Mi-ran sighs]

[sighs] I don't want it.

- [Mi-ran sighs]
- Not anymore. Let's just sleep.

I'm not an animal.

- Oh, let's just sleep. [groans]
- [laughing]

[Kang-ho sighs] Oh, I won't do it.
I promise. Let's just sleep.

[sighs]

Hey.

I love you.

[upbeat pop music continues]

[exhales]

I said, I love you.

[Kang-ho inhales deeply]

[man 1 groans]

[upbeat rhythmic music playing]

[all grunting]

[Mi-ran shouting]

[men exclaiming]

[continues shouting]

[Mi-ran grunting]

[Kang-ho shouting]

[indistinct chattering in background]

Okay, this is the last scene!

Everyone hang in there!

Well, all right.

[poignant music playing]

[fire crackling]

[inhales, exhales deeply]

- [all grunting]
- [dramatic music playing]

[both grunting]

[panting]

[dramatic music continues]

[both grunting]

[Kang-ho straining]

[both grunting]

- [Kang-ho grunts]
- You're not a killer.

I'll testify.

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

[Kang-ho grunts]

[man moans]

[coughing]

It's not as thrilling as I thought.

It's like killing a bug.

[emotional music playing]

[panting]

[breathing shakily]

[emotional music continues]

[inhaling shakily]

[crying softly]

[sobbing]

I'm not dead.

[sniffles] Huh?

I think I'm gonna be okay.

[moans, sighs]

[emotional music continues]

[both crying joyfully]

[Se-na gasps]

[sighs]

[both laughing]

[Se-na sighs]

[both continue laughing]

- [assistant director] Cut! Wow, good job!
- [all cheering, applauding]

[upbeat music playing]

[all continue cheering, applauding]

Great work, everybody.

Let's toast to the movie Shadow.

- We're done!
- [all cheering]

Oh yeah, great job. Well-done.

Good work. Thank you.

[upbeat music continues]

- [man 1] Good work.
- Great job.

- [man 2] Good work.
- [Mi-ran] Thank you.

Whoo! [laughing]

[all laughing]

Whoo!

- Look at her!
- What's she up to?

- [gasps] Ha!
- [man 3] Hey, don't point it at me!

I could light up
this whole place. [laughs]

Here. So our backs
are touching now, right?

I'm going to throw my foot back
and hit him in the skull.

[all] Nah.

- You think I won't? You think I won't?
- Show us.

- [man 4] Go ahead
- One, two, three!

- [grunts]
- [groans]

[all exclaiming, laughing]

How'd you do that?

[laughing]

[laughing]

[indistinct chattering in background]

You know, you did well.

You have something to tell me, right?

I'm not sure that we'll get
another chance for us to talk.

So go ahead. What do you wanna tell me?

So we're really over.

- You've no ill feelings towards me.
- We were over a long time ago.

This isn't anything new.

[sniffles]

[Se-na sniffles]

[sniffling, sighs]

[continues sniffling]

- Don't you have tissues?
- Use this to blow your nose.

[sniffles] No. That's not a tissue.

[sniffles]

[sniffling]

[blows nose]

[sniffles]

[crying softly]

You know, back in the day,

you were nice to a fault.

[gentle music playing]

That's why I took you lightly.

I thought you'd like me again
if I gave you another chance.

[inhales deeply] Won-jun told me

that I was the worst woman
in your entire life.

[sighs] Now I've become
even worse than that.

That's not it.

You never took me lightly.

But you did let me go.

And for that, I'm grateful.

[gentle music continues]

[sniffling]

You leaving like that
actually helped me in a way.

I was so envious
after seeing you making it big,

so I promised myself I would too.

[chuckles softly]

After the first movie became recognized,

I was actually scared.

I suddenly had unlimited opportunities.

I had to prove that my first success
wasn't just out of pure luck.

[sighs]

And I tried to be the best... [sniffles]

...in the next project
and the one after that too.

It was a really tough time for me.

And every night, I couldn't fall asleep.

Even when I was dating
impressive men... [sighs]

...I felt like something was missing.

[sniffles]

I still didn't know
it was love that I was missing.

And then I saw you on TV one day,
and I realized... [sniffles]

..."Ah, work isn't everything."

"There's more to it."

[sniffles]

I thought to myself,

I could stop my obsession with success

if I was able
to get back together with you.

[sniffles, sighs]

[sniffles]

[scoffs]

I really miss what we had.

Yearning and memories, that is not love.

[poignant music playing]

You love a person.

I'm sure you'll find
the right one for you next time.

Let me know if you find someone like that.

[sniffles]

I'll be hosting a party this weekend.
You should come and look for one.

You're hosting a party?

For what?

A good friend of my girlfriend
has asked me to host one, so...

[chuckles]

A party? You? [chuckles]

[chuckles]

Hey, come with me, please?

No. I don't have nice clothes.

I don't wanna look pathetic
around everyone.

It's not like
you're competing with actresses.

Come with me, have some food,
and maybe you'll find yourself a guy.

Forget it. I've given up on handsome men.

[Na-eun munching]

Do Won-jun got you down?

You don't wanna see him
out there mingling?

Oh, I don't care
whether he's mingling or not.

Oh, stop annoying me and just go.

[Mi-ran grunts, sighs]

Oh jeez.

- You want me to bring you some snacks?
- Mm-hm.

[exhales]

- [intriguing music playing]
- [indistinct chattering on TV]

- [door opens]
- [alert chiming]

- [door closes]
- [alert chiming]

CEO DO WON-JUN
DELETE CONTACT

[smacks lips, sighs]

[electronic dance music playing]

[Kang-ho] Have you been well?

- [man] Oh, absolutely.
- [woman] Yes, of course.

Thank you for inviting us.

Oh, you're welcome. Thank you for coming.

- Please, enjoy yourselves.
- [woman] Thanks.

Oh, welcome.

Oh, you look so amazing.
You haven't aged at all.

Wow, did Nam Kang-ho
just compliment a female actor?

You've changed quite a bit,
even hosting a party.

When they're in love, people change.
Even more so when they're married. Hm.

One night!

- What?
- Oh, no, that's not it. One night!

- [both laughing]
- Two days!

You have a girlfriend?
Who is she? Is she here right now?

[electronic dance music continues]

Whoa! Where did you learn how to do this?

Back in the day,
I had a friend who was a DJ.

- Did you two go out?
- Yeah. [laughs]

Ah. Don't you worry about it.
I won't tell Kang-ho.

Oh, don't worry. It's not a secret.

Love that.

[Mi-ran laughs]

[Sang-sup chuckles] Woot woot!

I saw you on TV.
Your singing is incredible.

I've refined my skills since, uh,

we used to... [gags]...karaoke all the time.

- [laughs]
- I would sing, and you would dance.

[both chuckle]

Man, I don't think
that I've ever gone back

to a karaoke bar since then.

Oh, since we broke up, I haven't heard
that you had another girlfriend.

Haven't had one since.

Why don't you have one?
You holding out for someone?

[smacks lips] To be honest,

I think I am.

[electronic dance music continues]

- So is it packed there?
- [Won-jun] Yeah, lots of people. A lot.

Ah, that's a good thing.

Mmm, can't wait.

[Won-jun] So why don't you make
your entrance? You're the special guest.

[electronic dance music continues]

You look lonely.
You know, it's really dangerous

for a handsome man
like yourself to look lonely.

[indistinct chattering, cheering]

[gasps] Oh!

It's been a minute. How are you doing?

Yeah.

Wow! You're on a hot streak these days.

It's great. Congrats.

- [laughs]
- Thanks a lot.

[sighs] Hi there.

Huh.

Hello.

Hey, I heard
that you and Nam Kang-ho don't get along.

Isn't it the same for you? You guys
didn't even say hi at the wrap party.

- How are you doing?
- [chuckles] I'm fine. How about you?

Honestly, I didn't think
you'd invite us to your party.

Oh, thank you for coming.

I've been wanting to get a chance
to apologize to the both of you.

[sighs]

Hey!

I told you to stay out of my view.

You're breaking my focus!

Hey, cut, cut!

- [sighs]
- [whistle blows]

If you're gonna throw a tantrum,

at least you should know how to act.

[Kang-ho] I apologize for what I did.

- I was rude and presumptuous.
- [gasping]

And Ji-eun, I was really harsh
to you too, wasn't I?

I'm really sorry for that.

I bought it because I needed it
for the show. It's a prop! [sighs]

All the other shows reimburse me.

- Are you a beggar?
- [whistle blows]

What did you say?

- [Kang-ho] Let's have a drink later.
- [both] Okay.

What's up with him?
Is he terminally ill, you think?

Hey there. What are you doing up here?

Didn't you see me when I came in?
I was like Moses parting the Red Sea.

Everyone split up and...
[whooshes]...to avoid me.

In the past, I treated them
to so many meals. [inhales]

Once they heard the rumor
of my divorce from having an affair,

no one reached out to me,
so... [smacks lips]

I thought there has to be
at least a few who'd be glad to see me,

and now... [inhales]

...they're all afraid to be
even in the same photo as me.

This is the harsh, cold, cold world
we live in today!

Well, at least allow me to...

No, Mi-ran needs you to be here.
She doesn't know anyone else.

Oh, I'm totally fine on my own.
Even better with you.

[Soo-jin scoffs]

Come on, let's not sit here like this.
How about we go have some fun over there?

I saw a lot of fun things.

Over there?

[chuckles] Just come with me.

- [chuckling]
- [laughs softly] Okay.

[Mi-ran] Bye.

What? Is it something bad?

Depending on how you take it,
it could be good.

Or it could be bad.

You're beating around the bush.
Must be something I wouldn't like to hear.

Grace...

we could be friends for life.

- Would you like that?
- [laughs softly]

With the emphasis
on "friends" or on "life"?

Friends.

You seeing someone?

You said before
that we should just get married

if none of these relationships work.

I don't want you waiting...
and wasting more of your time.

I'd rather hear you just say
you found someone.

If there's really nothing going on,

it means you just don't wanna
go through with this.

That's not what this is about.

It's just better for everyone.

So, for you to be like this...
you do have someone then.

Sure, okay.

I wouldn't wanna throw away
15 years of our friendship.

But I'm not sure
if we could still be good friends.

- [laughs]
- [electronic dance music playing]

- Go for it!
- Yeah!

- [grunts]
- Oh! Oh no!

- [Mi-ran laughing]
- [groans]

- Okay.
- [Mi-ran] Again.

- [yelps, screams]
- [crowd cheers, applauds]

[laughing]

Let's go again.

[electronic dance music continues]

[gasps]

What?

[gasps slowly]

Sang-sup, have a smoke for me?

It's just, um...

You should see this.

[electronic dance music continues]

[crowd exclaiming]

- Wow.
- I knew it.

[Soo-jin grunts]

- [crowd cheering]
- Ooh!

Hey, look at this.

SHOCKING LIFE OF NAM KANG-HO'S GIRLFRIEND!

[Soo-jin grunts]

[groans]

- [Kang-ho groans]
- Oof!

Everybody knows her here at this club.

She's really a master pickup artist.

She even hooked up with a guy she met here

while she was still dating her boyfriend.

She thinks nothing
of having one-night stands.

Ooh!

[woman on video] I think
she thinks of it like some kind of a game.

- My gosh. Whoa.
- Huh? What?

[woman] When I saw
that Nam Kang-ho's girlfriend's a lawyer,

I thought it could be her,
but that's none of my business.

Wow! If this is indeed true,

it's really shocking.

Would Nam Kang-ho
have known this about his girlfriend?

[man 1 on video] Come on, who
would knowingly date a woman like this?

[man 2 on video]
But what if it's just a fling?

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

- Yay!
- [Kang-ho laughing]

- Wow!
- [Soo-jin] How amazing!

- [Mi-ran laughing]
- So good.

- 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.

[Soo-jin] Hm?

[electronic dance music crescendos]
