Marry Me, or Not? (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript

Two days ago, I met a girl
while I was cycling.

Do you like her?

I do.

In fact, I'd really like to know her.

But people keep telling me
that she's not a nice girl,

that she is different
from what I imagined.

Well, did you believe them,

or did you believe in yourself?

I didn't believe in either.

I believed in...

You believed in the girl, didn't you?



How did...

How did you know?

I used to be just like her,

I never defended myself
when I was misunderstood,

and I pretended to be nonchalant about it.

Why is that?

I was afraid that the people I cared about
wouldn't believe me.

Rather than to be abandoned,

I chose to abandon them instead.

That way, I won't get hurt.

But someone came along
and changed my mind.

Who was it?

A guy that looks just like you.

Just like me?



He's silly

and dumb.

No matter what people say,
or what they think of me,

he's always there to hold my hand

and protect me.

And it's all for one reason.

He believes in me.

I've made up my mind.

What have you decided?

I've decided that I want to be that guy.

No matter what happens,

I'll stand by her side,

I'll protect her,

and I'll believe in her.

I know you will.

And on today's latest report by EBC News.

Chin Shang-en,
the chairman of Times Corporation,

one of top three companies
in Northeast Asia, has just announced

a partnership with Wufu Travel Agency.

Let's take a look at the live footage
of the deal signing

that's happening
at their press conference.

To our partnership.

To our partnership.

Ms. Tsai,

for the sake of our partnership,

I believe we must get to know
each other more.

Of course.

Of course.

I look forward to our partnership.

Likewise.

Let us toast to our partnership.

-Here.
-Thank you.

I'm so sorry!

Assist Ms. Tsai in cleaning herself up.

Yes, sir. Please come with me, Ms. Tsai.

Shang-en.

Congratulations.

I'm counting on you from now on.

I'm going to call Dad
to inform him of the deal.

As usual,

I single-handedly secured the deal,

not you.

I know that.

Chien-yao.

Where's Tsai Huan-chen?

She went upstairs.

Why?

The waiter accidentally spilled
red wine on her,

so I got my secretary to assist her
in changing into new clothes.

Don't worry about it.

Ms. Tsai, this is your room.
Please come inside.

I'll be right back with your clothes.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

I was wondering when you will come.

Who thought you will be here so soon?

Chairman Chin.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing?

This is my room.

Didn't you come here for me?

Sorry, I must be in the wrong room.

Take a seat, you're already here anyway.

What would you like to drink?
Wine or whiskey?

I didn't come for you.

I'm here because I had
some wine spilled on me.

-So Jiang Chien-yao got his secretary--
-Always Jiang Chien-yao.

I know.

I already had a word with him.

He doesn't mind at all.

I promise you.

As long as you stay with me,

I'll give you whatever he gave you.

Also,

I'll give you more than
what he could have ever offered,

and even better.

You've got the wrong idea.

I'm not that sort of woman.

You're not that sort of woman?
You don't have to say a thing.

I know.

Don't worry.

I'll play by the rules.

Chairman Chin.

Whatever happened today,

I'll close my eyes to it.

I'll also forget you ever said that to me.

Ms. Tsai.

You didn't think

I really gave you the deal

just because I wanted
to work with you, did you?

What are you saying?

You know what I am saying.

Be a good girl and drink with me.

If you walk out of the door now,

I assure you
that you'll walk away with nothing.

What are you doing? Let go of me!

Let go!

Get away from me!

Get away!

Get away!

Let go of me! Get away!

Let go of me! Get away!

Let go of me! Get away!

Let go of me! Get away!

Let go of me! Get away from me!

Huan-chen!

Are you all right?

Sorry, I just found out that
you were brought to wrong the room.

You stopped me this time,

but you can't stop me every time.

I'm telling you.

She'll be mine eventually!

When that happens, I bet you'll hurt
ten times more than you are now.

Maybe even a hundred times more.

Is that so?

Don't you think it's strange

that you're good with alcohol,

but you could only handle one glass today

and got drunk?

In fact, you behaved rashly

and lost your sense of rationality.

You're right.

A game of cat and mouse.

The cat shouldn't kill
the mouse so quickly.

The cat

will savor the moment instead.

Why don't you take the time

to enjoy the game that I've planned?

It's just getting started.

Tsai Huan-chen.

Tsai Huan-chen, your bag...

What happened?

Who took advantage of you?

Let's just leave.

Tsai Huan-chen.

Tsai Huan-chen.

Listen to me.

Just what exactly happened?

It was all a misunderstanding.

My assistant...

She accidentally brought Tsai Huan-chen
to Chin Shang-en's room.

Chin Shang-en got the wrong idea
and laid his hands on her.

Thankfully, I got there in time
to stop him.

Hello, miss. Where would you like to go?

Just drive straight ahead first.

Sure.

What are you doing? Let go of me!

Let go!

Get away from me!

Get away!

BOYFRIEND

Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voicemail.

You will be charged after the beep.

Please hang up if you do not wish
to leave a message.

I'm in a meeting with the client.

I can't pick up your call.

I'll call you later.

Okay.

Do whatever you have to do.

Here.

Have some water.

Thank you.

Are you...

Are you worried about Tsai Huan-chen?

Sheng-nan.

You don't have to worry about her.

What happened today

was just a minor thing for Tsai Huan-chen.

Don't get me wrong.

I just hope you're not overly worried
about Tsai Huan-chen.

She's a natural businesswoman.

She knows how to play the game
according to her strengths.

Most of all,

she knows better than anyone the price
she has to pay to get an advantage.

What are you saying?

I don't get you.

Have you forgotten?
When you came to me with your proposal,

I told you that I loved your proposal.

But my supervisor,

Chairman Chin

told me to accept
Tsai Huan-chen's proposal

without taking a look at it.

Don't you think that's a little too weird?

So you're saying...

From the very beginning, Huan-chen was...

That's impossible.

I've known her for so long.

She did her best for the sake of the deal.

-But it's impossible--
-Sheng-nan.

It doesn't matter
what Tsai Huan-chen did to get the deal.

What's more important is that
I think you deserve more opportunities.

But you're too kind.

I'm afraid that your kindness
will cause you to lose

the things that you deserve.

The things

that I deserve?

Starting next month,

you'll be working at Mr. Hsi's firm.

I've already spoken to him.

You'll learn a lot more things
by working there.

Mr. Hao.

Do you really have to go to Singapore?

Don't you feel lonely working abroad
by yourself?

And you just started
your relationship with Huan-huan too.

Won't you find yourself lonely
without her?

You don't have to worry about that.

Even though we haven't finalized it yet,

but Tsai Huan-chen might be going
with me to Singapore.

Really?

That's good.

It's better than going by yourself.

This is for you.

What is this?

These are my handwritten notes
when I was reviewing for the exam

to get my legal license.

It will be helpful to you.

No matter what happens,

you'll always have a place in my firm.

Mr. Hao.

Mr. Hao, I...

Calm down.

That's enough packing today.

Later, I want you to pass

my client database information to Mr. Hsi.

After that,

I'm going to Tsai Huan-chen's office

to wrap up the case
with Longshiang Travel Agency.

Noted, sir.

-What's all this about?
-What's going on?

What's wrong with this girl?

Ms. Sheng-nan.

Ms. Sheng-nan.

What's happening outside?

-No idea, we thought you'd know.
-No idea.

-How would I know?
-They've been here since this morning.

They've been here since morning?

-Ms. Tsai Huan-chen?
-Ms. Tsai Huan-chen?

-Are you Ms. Tsai Huan-chen?
-Are you Ms. Tsai Huan-chen?

Could you clarify the rumors of you
sleeping with Chairman Chin Shang-en

of the Times Corporation
to secure the partnership deal?

Is that true?

-Please say something.
-Of course, it isn't true!

-Really?
-I'm sorry.

It's office hours now.
Could you please leave?

Please do not interfere with my work.

-Ms. Tsai, say something.
-Ms. Tsai, don't avoid our questions.

Chairman Chin is already married.

Don't you feel guilty
for wrecking his marriage?

-That's right.
-I said it's office hours now.

Please leave!
I will not respond to your questions.

Ms. Sheng-nan.

I'm sorry.

We're working,
and we're not available for interview.

-Please leave.
-Ms. Tsai...

I said we're at work!

-Ms. Tsai.
-Ms. Tsai, do you have anything to say?

-Can't you guys understand?
-Didn't you hear

that my client said
she won't accept any interviews?

Allow me to remind you.

While you guys
may have freedom of the press,

but your questions are in conflict

with the public interest,

not to mention that
this is a private property.

If you insist on interviewing my client
and ignoring her rights.

We have the rights to sue you
under verse 315 of the Criminal Law

and verse 195 of the Civil Code

for the invasion of privacy
and infringement of physical health.

We will have you compensate accordingly.

And you are...

I am her lawyer.

Lawyer.

I'm asking you to leave.

Or else I will lodge a complaint against

all false accusations made against her.

I will sue you under the public law

of attempting to defame her.

Let the photos do the talking.

You can see for yourself
why we'd like to interview her.

These are proof
that Ms. Tsai and Chairman Chin

had a sexual hookup.

Can we interview Ms. Tsai
now that we've shown those?

-Ms. Tsai.
-Ms. Tsai, could you say something?

-Are you a prosecutor?
-Ms. Tsai.

Or is there a prosecutor among you?

These photos do not reflect

your statements against her are valid.

Allow me to repeat myself again.

Please leave now.

Or I will lodge a complaint against you

for the invasion of my client's privacy.

-Excuse me.
-Ms. Tsai.

Your actions are

interfering with the company's operation.

I must ask you to leave.

-Ms. Tsai, please explain yourself.
-Ms. Tsai.

-Excuse me.
-Ms. Tsai.

Ms. Tsai.

Tsai Huan-chen,

Hao Sheng-nan,

and Mr. Hao.

Please come with me.

How did this happen?

So you only saw

Huan-huan walking out
from Chairman Chin's room?

Did you not see

what transpired in the room?

Don't worry about me.

Just tell her what you saw.

That's right.

When I got to the scene,

I only saw Huan-chen
coming out of the room.

So that means

the only person who can prove
Huan-chen's innocence

is Mr. Jiang.

Ma'am.

I think

there's no point for us
to continue discussing this.

Chairman Chin of Times Corporation

has obviously attempted
to sexually assault Tsai Huan-chen.

I suggest that we leave it to the police.

With the current proof on hand,

we can't sue him
on the grounds of defamation.

But we can sue him
for sexually assaulting her.

Mr. Hao.

You have a point.

Going by the standard of procedure,
as a company,

we would have done according

to what you said.

But this is...

Please finish your sentence.

But if...

But if I was lying about it.

If I really did seduce Chairman Chin
to secure the deal,

I would not only tarnish
the company's reputation

and lose the partnership
with Times Corporation,

we would also have to
compensate them accordingly.

That's what you wanted to say, right?

Huan-huan.

Personally, I believe in you.

But did you know?

On my way to work,

Times Corporation
has already contacted the higher-ups.

They've made a list
of unfavorable accusations against you.

Don't be fooled by their accusations!

-These photos are not proof enough.
-It's all right.

It's not worth our time discussing
the matter, just drop it.

Don't worry, ma'am.

I won't bring any trouble to the company.

I'll resign immediately.

This is strictly a personal misconduct
on my end.

It has nothing to do with the company.

Don't think that this issue will end
just because you keep quiet about it.

Times Corporation
will definitely ruin your reputation.

By then, even if you try to explain,

no one would believe you.
Do you understand?

Ma'am.

Mr. Hao was the legal consultant
appointed to me by the company.

Now that I'm resigning,

I suppose the company don't have to
appoint a legal consultant to me anymore.

So, could I request from you

to ask Mr. Hao to leave?

Sorry, Mr. Hao.

Can you leave first?

Did you hear it?

Ms. Huan-huan said she wasn't going
to sue Chairman Chin.

Could it be that she really did seduce him

in order to secure the deal?

Hey, what are you guys talking about?

Ms. Huan-huan is not that kind of person.

-That's right.
-If she didn't do it,

why wouldn't she lodge a complaint,
but insist on resigning instead?

Huan-huan.

About the resignation,
why don't you give it another thought?

If you're worried about the issue

regarding Times Corporation,

I'll just

provide you with leave of absence.

Okay, forget about
Times Corporation for now.

You have a lot of things
that you have to complete.

Like the discussion with the Busan mayor

about the wedding collaboration.

We've already signed the deal.

And now you're telling me
that you're quitting.

How I am going to get
a replacement for you?

And besides,

I just promoted you

to the role of the manager
for the Northeast Asia airline.

If you're resigning now,

who will fill in your role?

Don't worry, ma'am.

I'll complete all of my tasks
before leaving.

As for the Busan sightseeing trip,

once I've completed that,

the remaining tasks
will be handed over too.

For the role of the manager
for the Northeast Asia airline,

I believe you can consider Hao Sheng-nan.

To be honest with you, I've always thought

that Hao Sheng-nan
was a better fit for the role.

I've been meaning to tell you that
for some time now.

Now that a lot of things have happened,

it would be easier for you
to give the role to her.

All right then.

Since you've already mentioned it,

I'll do as you suggested.

Why did you do that?

Why didn't you explain yourself?

Why didn't you tell her
your side of the story,

but pretended to be unaffected
by all the issues regarding you?

If I told you

that Jiang Chien-yao did all of this,

would you believe me?

If a live witness like you
don't believe me,

why would other people do?

Don't worry about me.

I'm used to it now.

I never expected anyone
to believe my side of the story.

I don't really care about how people
think of me.

Vice-president.

Mr. Hao.

How can I help you?

I want you to tell me the truth

and prove Tsai Huan-chen's innocence,
you hear me?

Mr. Hao.

So this is how you get people to act

as your client's witness.

Sheng-nan was present at that time.

Then I suppose she has already told you

that if it wasn't for me,
who stopped Chairman Chin,

things would have been worse.

Hold your horses for a second.

If you really want me to speak the truth
on behalf of Tsai Huan-chen,

I'd be happy to do that,

but please get your hands off me.

Later,

I'll personally call Wufu Travel Agency

and inform them

that I was looking for Chairman Chin

when I happened to see him
hugging Tsai Huan-chen.

I thought he was trying to

molest her,

so I went ahead to stop him.

As I was about to report
the incident to the police,

only then Chairman Chin did tell me

that he had no intentions
of molesting her.

Of course.

That's just Chairman Chin's side
of the story.

But going by Tsai Huan-chen's reputation,

I'm sure everyone would choose to believe

that this is all Tsai Huan-chen's doing.

Calm down.

You've been a practicing lawyer
for so long.

You wouldn't be so foolish as to lay
your hands on me in public, would you?

This might get the media's attention,
you know?

Worst case scenario,

your hard-earned legal license

might even be suspended.

Goodbye.

First off,

I'm a lawyer.

So I know better than anyone
how to teach someone a lesson

without leaving a trace.

Secondly,

don't underestimate my resolve
to protect Tsai Huan-chen.

As long as you cause her troubles,

I guarantee you

that I'll return the favor.

Hello?

Mr. Hao.

Where are you?

I've got bad news.

Something bad has happened.

Stop pressing it.

Are you trying to destroy my doorbell?

Who is it?

Are you Tsai Huan-chen's mother?

Regarding your daughter's attempt
to ruin Chairman Chin's marriage,

what are your thoughts?

Do you have any opinion
of her relationship with him?

You're her mother.

Could you say something?

-You're her mother, could you answer us?
-Her relationship with Chairman Chin...

-What are you guys talking about?
-Is it strictly business?

Do you know if your daughter...

-Few days ago, Times Corporation
-Mr. Hao.

-held a press conference.
-Madam Hao has been waiting for you.

According to an insider who witnessed it,

a travel agency employee
by the name of Tsai

agreed to have sexual intercourse
with the chairman of Times Corporation,

Chin Shang-en, in order to secure
an exclusive partnership with the company.

-Following the news, people
-Be with me, okay?

-had identified the woman
-You are here to crash the wedding?

as Tsai

-who went viral on the Internet
-Huan-huan!

for her ex-boyfriends before.

The woman that you see in the video

is now a hot topic on the internet.

-Huan-huan!
-Huan-huan!

Why did you turn it off?

Why don't you continue watching?

You're embarrassed, aren't you?

Now you know her true colors.

This is why

I don't want you two to be together.

Where are you going?

Do not look for her!

Madam Hao.

Would you like something to drink?

Coffee? Tea?

-I'll have a cup of coffee.
-Sure.

Just a question, Hsin.

Why are there so many boxes here?

Are you guys moving to another office?

We're not moving.

It's because Mr. Hao is leaving
for work in Singapore next month.

Singapore?

Hello, Sheng-nan.

Is Huan-chen at the office?

Another bunch of reporters came
to the office to interview Tsai Huan-chen.

In order to avoid further drama,
she was asked her to leave earlier.

I got it.

We'll talk later, bye-bye.

Since she was a child,
Tsai Huan-chen has been popular with boys.

And she's pretty smart too.

She knows how to manipulate boys

to doing her bidding.

I even heard that

when she was a student,

she had a sugar daddy who was
some big shot in a corporate company.

Sugar daddy?

-How could she say that?
-Chairman Chin has revealed his...

You really think I can't recognize you?

Turn around and show yourself!

Come on!

Wait a minute.

That mouth looks pretty familiar.

I remember now!

It's Fei from the morning market
who sells pig trotter.

That darn Fei.

I'm going to the market now

to shut you up!

Just calm down.

Just ignore whatever she said.

That's not right!
She's not even close to you!

On what grounds could she say that?

Let them say what they want,
it's not like we can control their words.

I raised my daughter with blood,
sweat, and tears.

Now people are going around
slandering you like this.

And they don't even know you!

They have no rights to say that.

Do they know that their words

will affect your life in the future?

How are you going to face the world then?

I can't just let this happen.

Mom.

It's all right

as long as you and Dad know
that I'm not that kind of person.

-But...
-I'm going back to my room.

That's right.

If our daughter isn't angry,

how can we get mad for her?

Don't be too upset.

It's bad for your health.

Bring out the puppet!

Right!

Puppet.

-We're going to cast a spell.
-A spell!

I want that Fei to remain single

-for the rest of her life.
-Single for the rest of her life!

I want that Chairman Chin's

-business to suffer forever!
-Business to suffer forever!

I want those foul-mouthed reporters

to be haunted for the rest of their lives.

To be haunted for the rest of their lives!

PLAYLIST, NEWLY ADDED:
"MARRY ME OR NOT" SOUNDTRACK

I heard on the second day of school,
Tsai Huan-chen

got together with a third-year

-at the school entrance.
-Really?

I heard it's a guy from the 11th class.

I even heard

that she knew the senior
from the 13th class has a girlfriend,

but she still seduced him.

That's nothing.

I heard she's with a different guy
every day.

Tsai Huan-chen is a two-faced person.

I even heard someone
picked her up from home.

You heard?

Just who did you hear all of that from?

All of those aren't true!

I'm not who you make me out to be.

BOYFRIEND

I've finally found you.

I'm sorry.

Some reporters were calling me.

So I switched off my phone.

I passed by your house

and saw a bunch of reporters by your gate,

so I didn't dare to look for you inside.

I was afraid it will cause you trouble.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

You did nothing wrong.

The ones who should be apologizing

are the reporters

and the people on the Internet.

Don't worry.

When the time comes, I'll sue them.

I'll sue them for defamation

and seek monetary compensation from them.

I won't let any one of them go.

And after that,

we'll take that money

to travel around the world
and have dates together.

What do you think?

I'm going to draw the reporters away

and take you out,

okay?

No!

Why not?

I was thinking,

isn't it better if we don't see each other
for the time being?

Things have gotten out of hand,

and everyone is trying to attack me.

If they discover you are my boyfriend,

they'll target you too.

So what if they do that?

I don't care.

But I do.

Your mom hates me already.

Now that I'm involved in a lot of issues.

she must hate me even more.

If you get attacked by the media

because of our relationship,

never mind your mother

even I'd probably hate myself too.

Honestly,

I'm touched that you believe in me,

that you don't care
how people think of me,

and that you're fighting so hard
to protect me.

But I was also wondering,

if we had never dated,

would you have gotten into this mess?

You wouldn't have to suffer.

I never thought of it that way.

So,

don't beat up yourself over it.

Okay?

Since you think

that it will take some pressure off you

if we don't meet,

then

I'll do as you say.

But I want you to promise me one thing.

Don't let their words affect you,

okay?

Okay.

I promise you.

I'll try not to overthink.

I'm leaving for Korea tomorrow anyway.

I'll make use of the days away from Taiwan

to see if I can get things off my mind.

You're leaving for Korea tomorrow?

That's right.

Do you want me to come with you?

Have you found your male model?

It's fine.

I've already found one.

Okay then.

Be careful.

I'm going to go pack my luggage now.

I'll call you tonight.

Sure.

Hao Meng.

Why are you here?

Do me a favor.

Is she out?

I don't know.

-There she is!
-There she is!

Ms. Tsai, are you leaving the country

to avoid the current situation?

Are you leaving because
you're running away from your problems?

Why aren't you saying something?

Why did you decide to leave
in such timing?

Sorry, excuse me.

My girlfriend and I are heading
to the airport.

We're not accepting any interviews,
thank you.

Could you guys say something?

Where are you guys going?

Where are you going?

-Where are you going?
-Get in the car, hurry.

Where are you guys going?

-Thank you.
-Please say something.

Could you say something?

Please say something.

Please say something.

Where are you guys headed to?

-Where are you guys going?
-Thank you.

Could you tell us?

Say something.

Say something, please?

Are you crazy?

Don't you know they will attack you now

for acknowledging in public
that you're my boyfriend?

Didn't we agree
to stop seeing each other for now

and keep our relationship a secret
to the public?

I don't care about
what the reporters have to say about me.

What I do care about

is you going to Korea

and doing things like hugging

and kissing with a male model.

I can't take that.

I'm coming with you to Korea.

If you don't want me to go,

I'll just drop you at the airport

and head back home.

You really don't want me to go, do you?

-I've already bought the tickets.
-Of course, I want you to come.

Are you serious?

I'm happy
that you're willing to accompany me.

LI MEI TIMES

Would you like a newspaper?

TIMES CORPORATIONS CHAIRMAN
SEDUCED BY A LADY NAMED TSAI

LAWYER POSSIBLY COLLUDING WITH CHAIRMAN

-I can't believe such a woman exists.
-My god.

-What is this?
-How did this happen?

That's right, how did this happen?

Can I have a look at it?

What a malicious lady, that's terrifying.

Is this a premeditated crime?

Doesn't she know any shame?

Could you hold my hand later on?

Who would want a girl like her?

Could it be that she's the girl
sitting in front of us?

-Why?
-She looks like her.

I'm afraid of flying.

Are you serious?

You're afraid of flying?

Every time I'm on a plane,

I tend to think of the worst thing
that could happen.

But if you hold my hand

and talk to me,

I'll be distracted
and I won't think about such things.

Okay.

I'll hold onto your hand,

and keep talking to you.

Good morning, ladies and gentleman.

Welcome to Busan Airlines.

You're currently boarding the BX794
airplane en route to Busan from Taipei.

for you and Huan-chen to Korea.

All you have to do is to take it
from the counter tomorrow.

Thank you.

Do you need any other help
aside from the tickets?

I want you to talk to Jiang Chien-yao

and get him to confess

what happened the other night.

I've already spoken to him.

He said his assistant brought
Tsai Huan-chen--

Do you really believe what he said?

I know you want to believe him.

But I'm sure you know that deep down,

he isn't telling the truth.

Just like how you never once believed
Tsai Huan-chen.

But after what happened today,

I'm sure you've realized
that Tsai Huan-chen wasn't lying to you.

I know you really like Jiang Chien-yao

and that you want to protect him,

but

if you really are in love with him,

you shouldn't continue
to let him hide behind his wall of lies

and let him hurt people because of it.

Because you know

that the one who will get hurt the most
in the end aren't those

who are being lied to,

it's the liar himself.

Listen to me.

She's a natural businesswoman.

She knows how to play the game
according to her strengths

She knows better than anyone the price
she has to pay to get an advantage.

If I told you

that Jiang Chien-yao did all of this,

would you believe me?

If a live witness like you
don't believe me,

why would other people do?

Are things really like what Hao Meng

and Tsai Huan-chen said about Chien-yao?

There's food in the refrigerator,

Heat it up if you're hungry.

Dad.

I'm going out.

Okay, come back early.

Dad.

Do you

actually miss Mom?

That's nonsense, I don't miss her.

Aren't you going out?

Remember to be back home early.

Stop pretending, will you?

You actually want Mom home.

How about this?

After I finish work,

let's go look for Mom
and convince her to come back, okay?

It doesn't matter to me if she comes back.

Stop talking about her.

I'll get the door.

You...

You're back.

I came for my daughter.

Sheng-nan.

Mom?

-But I'm going out.
-Sheng-nan, did you know about

Hao Meng going to Singapore
with Tsai Huan-chen?

He's going with her to Singapore?

You're still feigning ignorance?

Why didn't you tell me if you knew?

That's not true! I'm not pretending!
Mom, I really didn't know about that.

Would you stop controlling Hao Meng?

He's a grown-up man.

He'll be responsible for his own actions.

I'm talking to my daughter.
Would you stop butting in?

I can't believe that Tsai did such a thing

and took away my son.

Call Hao Meng and tell him to come home.

I will not allow the two of them
to be together.

Okay.

Just calm down.

I'll call Hao Meng now.

Having a picnic while shopping.

I'm discussing something important
with my daughter.

Can you keep it down?

Wuling Farm is very popular
with the crowd.

In fact, people in Taipei don't...

On today's latest news,

regarding the scandal
on Times Corporation.

After hiding for a few days,

Tsai was finally seen exiting her home

with a man who claims to be her boyfriend.

They are both headed for Taoyuan Airport.

-Could you guys say something?
-Where are you guys going?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Thank you.

You're welcome, thank you.

All right.

Let's go.

What's the matter?

It feels like the world
has gotten quiet again.

I guess we did leave all our problems

back in Taiwan.

That's the point of traveling, isn't it?

We want peace.

Didn't you say there's a lot of fun places
in Busan to visit?

Let's go.

What was it that you said back
on the airplane?

What cave?

Gamcheon cave.

And what's the other one?

What tower?

Busan Tower.

I thought you hate being photographed?

I used to hate it.

But now,

I've grown to like it.

Why the sudden interest?

40 STEPS CULTURE AND TOURISM THEME STREET

As much as I hate taking photos,

I like the way you smile at me

when I'm taking pictures of you.

I even like the way you look at me

as you hold onto a camera
to take my photo.

I also like
when we're taking pictures together,

where we get to see our faces
on the screen.

So you like taking photos

just because of me?

That's right.

It's all because of you.

You make me like a lot of things

that I used to hate.

Like what?

Like...

I hated taking leisurely strolls.

I hated crowded streets.

I hated eating at roadside stalls.

I even hated taking an airplane,

In fact, I hated traveling.

But when I'm with you,

even taking a walk on the streets

and sight-seeing

have become a pleasant experience for me.

When I'm eating with you by the streets,

it becomes a more enjoyable experience.

I no longer hate taking the airplane now.

When I'm with you,

everything that I dislike

became much more interesting.

-All because of you,
-All because of you,

-every little thing in life
-every little thing in life

-has become meaningful.
-has become meaningful.

Sorry, I'm late.

Did you wait long?

It's all right.

I just got here too.

Hop in.

Wait a minute.

What's the matter?

A lot has happened lately,

and I'm so confused.

I don't know

what's right

or what's wrong.

Are you talking about the issue

on Tsai Huan-chen?

Everyone's saying

that Tsai Huan-chen resorted to sex

to secure the deal.

But my mom just told me

that Tsai Huan-chen has decided
to leave Taiwan with my brother

for Singapore.

That means she didn't have to
let this issue escalate.

Haven't I already told you the truth?

And you still didn't believe me.

Chien-yao.

That night at the hotel,

you were the only witness at the scene.

Can you tell me

what really happened
between Tsai Huan-chen

and Chairman Chin?

You're right.

I wasn't telling the truth.

But that's because Tsai Huan-chen
also hoped

that I wouldn't say anything.

What do you mean?

That day, Tsai Huan-chen
was waiting for someone in the room.

But she wasn't waiting for my brother,

it was me.

On the day of the press conference,

Tsai Huan-chen
purposely poured a drink on herself

and got my assistant to assist her
in cleaning herself up.

She gave me a piece of paper to inform me

that she will be waiting for me
in my room.

But my assistant sent her
to the wrong room

and gave my brother the wrong idea.

After I rescued Tsai Huan-chen,

she angrily gave me a slap
across the face.

Then...

Then those photos are...

Those photos are a different matter.

My sister-in-law suspects
that my brother is having an affair.

So she sent a paparazzi after him,

who happened to catch my brother
and Tsai Huan-chen.

That's how the matter

escalated.

I know it all sounds like

a bunch of coincidences
and misunderstandings.

That's why,

I never told you any of that.

Because I was afraid

that this would come
in between our friendship.

Whether you trust me or not,

I just want you to know

that nothing happened
between Tsai Huan-chen and me.

Because I know

that the only person in my heart is you.

Sheng-nan.

I like you.

HAO MENG, TSAI HUAN-CHEN

Where's the lock?

You're just going to write our names?

What else do I have to write?

Will that do?

Yes.

Let's go.

HONEY, COULD YOU GIVE ME A KISS?

Look.

What is that?

It's a couples' activity
organized by the Busan Tower.

Take a picture and leave it here
as a memory,

so everyone gets to see your love.

Another love lock.

And another couples' photo.

They really love glamorizing romance.

It's romantic.

Look.

All of them had their happiest
and sweetest moment kept here.

And everyone gets to see it.

They're so lucky.

Hold this for me.

You wait here for me.

I'll be right back.

Wait, where are you going?

Don't tell me it's damaged.

Thank god it still works.

Mr. Hao, what should we do?

-Your face is everywhere on the news.
-Hao Meng, why aren't you replying?

Hao Meng, where did you go?

They're all worried about Hao Meng.

SHOCKING NEWS, TSAI HUAN-CHEN TRAVELS
WITH HER LAWYER BOYFRIEND

AN ACT OF COLLUSION
WITH TIMES CORPORATION?

I believe that all of us should not doubt
Mr. Hao's professional experience

despite the recent rumors.

Knowing Mr. Hao,

he couldn't be involved in
the Times Corporation scandal.

If he's not involved,

why did the Green Asia Project held
a press conference to clarify the matter

and didn't invite Mr. Hao to attend?

I've already responded to that statement
at the beginning of my public statement.

As it stands,

Mr. Hao is current not involved
with the Green Asia Project.

That's all I have to say.

JING-RU

You finally answered.

I'm sorry, this is Tsai Huan-chen.

Hao Meng didn't carry his phone with him.

Huan-chen.

That's okay then.

Tell him to call me back later.

I have something important to tell him.

I saw the news.

Why did you hold a press conference
and tell the public

that you're not working with Hao Meng?

Is it because I'm involved
with the Times Corporation scandal,

so you guys decided not to work
with Hao Meng?

Please don't get the wrong idea.

Actually, it was Hao Meng
who arranged all this.

He said

that he was afraid that the project

would be jeopardized because of him.

So he asked me to hold
a press conference to clarify things.

Are you telling me the truth?

Of course, I am.

Even the statement I said
at the press conference

was written by him.

Why?

Why did he do that?

He knows that if he stays with you,

the media will come after him

and invade his privacy.

If they do that,
they would know about his plans

to leave Taiwan

for the Green Asia Project.

He was afraid

that the issue

would affect stance and reputation
of Green Asia Project.

So I purposely held a press conference
to denounce his involvement with us.

Why did you follow his request?

Why didn't you tell him it's a bad idea?

I tried to.

In fact, I told him

that this can be resolved easily

if he just denies his relationship
with you to the public.

Instead...

He said

that if he has to lie
about his relationship with you,

how could he expect you to trust him?

He said trust
isn't conveyed only through words.

He said that whenever you're misunderstood
or accused by people,

he would step up to protect you.

He would hold your hands

and protect the trust that you gave him
with his life.

And he would cast away anything
that could harm you with his smile.

Hao Meng...

He said that?

I know...

I know that you're important to him.

And similarly,

this job is important to him too.

After today's press conference,

I tried convincing my superior

in hopes of salvaging

Hao Meng's chances of working
in the Green Asia project.

Thankfully,

my superior agreed.

But the problem is...

What is it?

Hao Meng has to stay away
from all the negative press.

As long as he's willing to do that,

we'll always welcome him.

That's the reason why I called.

Okay.

I know what to do now.

Huan-chen.

Where did you go?

I want to take a picture with you

and leave it here as a memory.

I thought you said
you hated taking photos.

I do, but it's different with you.

Do you have any idea

how much I like you?

I do.

No, you don't.

The moment I held him,

I realized that

if you love someone,

you would do everything

just to be with him.

If you love someone,

you would also be

willing to let go of many things.

For him,

you would force yourself

to be more courageous,

to be stronger.

Even if it hurts,

or it stings,

it's all worth it.

Because you understand

that your courage

and your strength

are all for the sake
of being together with him.

Until you realize

that sometimes,

true love

doesn't mean having to be together.

Hao Meng.

I love you.

I'm begging you.

Please give me another chance

to save our relationship.

NEXT EPISODE

I've let you go for so many years.

I'm not letting you go again.

You're so in love that you can't even
discern lies from truth, can you?

I'm not!

I'm not!

I've prepared a kit for you.

If you truly like her,

open it.

I want to marry you.

In fact, I'm more serious
than you think I am.

I feel sorry for my brother.

Why would he fall for someone
as terrible as you?
