Melting Me Softly (2019): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Destiny of 31.5 Degree! - full transcript

(All characters, organizations,
places, cases, and incidents...)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

(News Team 1)

(Bureau Chief, Na Ha Young)

Did you know?

- Know what?
- Did you also know everything...

but didn't bother to find me
just like the other people...

in the broadcasting station?

When I disappeared,

what were you doing?

Do you have the right to ask me that?



What?

You're the one who disappeared!

What could I have done?

It felt as if I was surrounded by walls.

How do you think I felt
after you disappeared?

Do you know how miserable I
was for the past 20 years...

and how much I waited for you?

How do you think I felt when
I was left all by myself?

I'd wait for news articles
saying you came back alive.

And I kept working here...

hoping I'd see the news saying
you were found somewhere abroad.

But...

I didn't hear anything for an entire year.

And years passed by after that.



Okay.

But I at least thought you'd look for me.

Do you know...

what surprised me the most when
I read the investigation records?

It's when I found out
that you didn't mention...

anything about my project
in your statement.

Shouldn't you have reacted differently?

You should've handled it
differently compared to the others.

You're right.

I pretended like I knew nothing
about your disappearance.

That's what I did.

And I lived the past 20 years
feeling guilty for doing that.

Do you think there was a single
day where I felt at ease?

I even hoped to see an article...

saying you died so that
I could finally relax.

So what's your point?

Are you disappointed
that I came back alive?

Dong Chan.

Right.

It's all my fault, isn't it?

No one forced me to do it.

I did it because I wanted to,
so I shouldn't be doing this to you.

Let's forget it.

What do I need to do?

What do I need to do...

to make you feel better?

Why do you think...

I'm still not married?

Promise me...

that you'll come back alive...

from the experiment.

This is crazy.

My gosh. It's so hot.

What...

What in the world am I doing?

Gosh, it's so hot.

(Episode 5: The Destiny of 31.5℃)

What? She wants us to get her a job?

At this rate,
she'll want us to find her a husband.

That's disgusting! Stop biting your nails.

If we let her have a tantrum,
she won't know when to stop.

She wants 70 million dollars.

She's a weirdo that's hard
to come by these days.

Hey, don't you think she'll forget about...

the 70 million dollars if we get her a job?

What do you think, Dong Chan?

Getting a job at a station isn't a joke.

Ko Mi Ran won't be able to get
in through our regular process.

Her entrance to the
station will be corrupted.

- Exactly.
- You're right.

It'd also be unfair to take
the opportunity away...

from other job-seeking individuals.

Also, we all think that what she
asks for us is not reasonable.

- Yes.
- Yes, indeed!

On top of that,
if we keep on seeing her at work,

it'd get more difficult
to clean up the problem.

- That's right.
- Yes!

That's why we have to decline.

We should live fair and square.

I'll persuade her.

Will she be persuaded?

Of course not.

Okay, then.

Angry Mi Ran...

will put on a messy show.

It won't be a huge deal.

She'll send a certification
of contents to the station...

demanding 70 million dollars,

then start doing interviews with all media.

She'll say that she was trapped
in a cryonic capsule for 20 years,

and claim that the station hid the truth.

Every time she fails an employment exam,

she'll curse us for putting
her into such a situation...

while continuously trying
to find a job for two years.

Whenever she fails to get a
job, she'll meet with media...

from all over the country
to take out her anger.

Right.

Her major is Chinese Literature.

She could contact The People's Daily...

Hey, Hyun Gi,
does The People's Daily still exist?

Anyway, it's obvious...

she'll start releasing articles...

with the Chinese media
like The People's Daily.

Knowing her, she'll be willing
to appear on television too.

Then, things will start to
get out of control in China.

It won't make a huge problem.

I'll meet with her to talk.

What's with your faces?

You look like you never
anticipated any of this.

Are you telling me to work as
an intern for three months?

Are you saying you'll test
me for that time period?

No, I'm not going to test you.

It's because you haven't
graduated from university yet.

You should finish school while you work.

I'm telling you to think
about it more seriously too.

You never know if broadcasting
is your cup of tea...

until you try it.

Okay, then. I'll do as you say.

By the way, what do you want to do here?

I want to become a
director in Variety Team.

Why in variety of all places?

Because my life was ruined thanks
to a variety team director.

It's my way of getting over the trauma.

I'm going to fight face to face.

All right. Try it then.

You'll have to try it to see...

if you'll fight off your trauma or grow it.

Don't you think I might
have a talent for it?

Not at all.

Bring me three proposals for variety shows.

You can do that much, right?
No, this is a prerequisite.

Sure thing. That's a piece of cake.

Do you need anything else?

"A piece of cake"?

Make sure it's edible...

since this is your first
hurdle as an intern.

Okay. You can trust me.

Hey...

Do you feel sick at all?

My body...

feels hot.

I can't sleep without a fan,

and it's exhausting when my body feels hot.

Listen carefully to what I say.

The normal temperature for us is 31.5℃,

which was the temperature when we thawed.

If we don't maintain that temperature,

it could be in danger.

Professor Hwang needs to regain
his memory to resolve this problem.

Because of the protein that
becomes active in low temperatures,

it could be fatal if our temperatures rise.

Does that mean...

we have to continue living like this?

No. I'll think of something.

Just be careful until Professor Hwang...

regains his memories.

I'm sorry.

You should be careful too.

If you think about it,

what did we do so wrong?

I was the one who grabbed
him by the collar...

and told him not to do that project.
You remember that, don't you?

You did.

But he said he'd do it so stubbornly,

and things ended up like this.

Why must I live as if I
did something wrong...

and suffer from insomnia?

Why should I suffer?

I'm being too conscientious.

I'm unnecessarily conscience.

Sir, the essence of this problem...

I mean, the root of our sin...

isn't that.

What?

"Sin"? "Root"?

We hid the truth.

When Dong Chan went missing,

we hid the incident because we
didn't want to get in trouble.

I was really selfish.

But even if we could turn back time,

I'd choose to do the same.

Me too.

But if that rumor is true,

how can he look exactly the same...

after 20 years?

His ID says he was born in 1968.

Is that why Chief Son...

What is the truth?

Gosh. He looks hotter now that
I know what happened to him.

It looks like...

it broke because the
cooling device was overrun.

The motor broke too.

My goodness.

What is all this?

Don't you think...

there might be something
wrong with Mi Ran's health?

Of course she's not normal.

I better take her to a clinic
to get some herbal medicine.

Her hands and feet are cold like ice.

It upsets me so much.

By the way,

there was that man who
was frozen with Mi Ran.

- That director guy?
- Yes.

I think we should meet with his parents.

Shouldn't we discuss this matter together?

What's the use?

If they find out that we
acted oblivious when we knew,

they'll be upset.

We couldn't help it then.

I'm sure they'll understand.

Also, this experiment was led by their son.

If anything,
we should be the ones who are mad.

You're right.

Do you know that director's address?

Darn.

(Automatic)

(Korean Style Restaurant Jinsagalbi)

Dong Chan.

- Are you going to work?
- Yes, ma'am.

- Oh, yes, I am.
- Dong Chan.

You're definitely not him.

You're different from him.

Please stop drinking.

It'll kill you.

How rude.

Is Dong Chan going to work?

Does he still look like
your big brother to you?

Should we get a DNA test done?

Please, come to your senses.

Also, you should stop drinking!

(Bubble Bubble Laundry)

What's with him?

Does he know we're following him?

He's following us now.

What is he trying to do?

My gosh!

My goodness.

(Bubble Bubble Laundry)

- You were tailing me, weren't you?
- No.

- Yes, you were.
- No, we weren't.

Then why aren't you angry at
me for stopping you like this?

I was just about to get angry.

- Are you a reporter?
- No.

Then why were you following me?

We weren't following you.

You're awfully rude for
someone who looks so young.

(86B 5687)

"Bubble Bubble Laundry"?

Were you on your way to make a delivery?

Yes, we were on our way to make a delivery.

- Where's the laundry?
- We already delivered it.

Then why were you following me?
I don't have any laundry for you.

We weren't following you.

Stop making me get angry.

- I have my limits, you know.
- Where was your delivery spot?

We had to go here and there.

You're showing too much
interest in our business.

Why isn't there a phone number
next to the name of your business?

My gosh.

- What do you want?
- Are you thugs?

How old are you? Why do you keep
talking to me like I'm your friend?

Will you be more respectful if
I turn out to be older than you?

Show me your ID, you punk.

Show me yours first.

- You show me yours first.
- No, you show it to me first.

Here. Look.

Let me see yours now.

(Ma Dong Chan, 680822-1012609)

"Kim Seong Du. 850311-1726503".

The next time we meet,
you'll end up in jail.

How are you so old?

I have my reasons.
You should get going now.

Sir, I have bad news for you.

The director found out
that we were tailing him.

But that director is 52 years old.

My gosh, I almost fainted.

I'm so shocked by how absurd this is.

Sir, I don't think we should
hire amateurs for this job.

- We should hire professionals...
- No, we can't do that.

We don't want anyone being
suspicious about this issue.

Instead of looking for Professor Hwang,

wouldn't it be faster to look
for Chairman Lee Seok Du...

Wouldn't it be faster to look for
Director Lee Seok Du's capsule?

We can find Professor Hwang and kill him...

or find the capsule and destroy it.

But our goal still remains the same.

We'll just catch the
director and make him talk.

Then we'll be able to find what we want.

The fact is...

that there's someone who
has actually woken him up.

- You're here.
- I was being tailed.

Really?

I guess this place might not be so safe.

- Where's the professor?
- He's in the lab.

It's too dangerous to keep him here.

I agree.

He needs to be at a place where
they'd least expect him to be.

It's been 20 years,

so it'll be hard for them to notice him.

Do you know a place?

Welcome.

Hello.

Who are you?

You should've told us back then...

if you knew that they were still alive.

My husband...

passed away due to a stroke.

Everything including money
became meaningless to us.

We lived our lives like a living corpse.

But you knew that your
daughter was still alive,

so you would've lived your lives with hope.

We didn't think she was alive.

Our daughter was locked up in a freezer,

and we had no idea if
she was dead or alive.

Do you think we lived our lives at ease?

But you still got to see her.

You still had hope!

We were told not to tell anyone.

They told us that everyone
will die if we did.

I know there's no point in
blaming each other at this point.

But if you think about it,

if it weren't for your son, our daughter...

would never have participated
in that experiment.

Wait a minute, sir.

I don't think that was
necessary for you to say.

It's not like I said anything wrong.

Let's be honest. My brother
didn't force her to participate.

Your daughter...

willingly participated
so she could get paid.

That's enough.

It's not like my brother shot
her with a tranquilizer gun...

and locked her up in that capsule.

"A tranquilizer gun"?
My gosh, why would you say that?

I noticed earlier that you
guys drive a really nice car.

Our family ended up going broke!

Dong Ju, will you stop?
Why would you say we're broke?

We're not that broke.
But to be honest, we used to be...

really well-off.

It's not our daughter's fault
that you ended up like this.

But things would've been
a bit better for us...

if you had told us that our
brother was still alive.

Think about it.

You knew your daughter was still alive.

And thanks to that hope,

you were able to save
money and become rich.

But we thought our brother was dead,

so we were in despair and
ended up going stone-broke.

This is the big difference
between hope and despair.

It's the first time she said
something right in 50 years.

We came to come up with a countermeasure.

Our daughter and your son
are in the same situation,

so don't you think we should discuss this?

Mi Ran doesn't seem to
be in good condition.

This is all because of
that crazy professor!

He'd better not run into me.

You'll all get to see how
different I'll become.

Mom, please calm down.

He's the one who helped Dong
Chan come out of the capsule.

He shouldn't have put him
inside in the first place!

I'm not going to be easy on him either.

I can't forgive him for what he did.

My goodness.

Who is that?

It's the add and drop period,

so a lot of students dropped your class.

This happens every year anyway.

Hey, do you have no sense of consideration?

I get hurt too.

Don't think that people who
have everything like me...

don't get hurt by anything.

I'm sorry.

Ko Mi Ran.

What's wrong, Professor Hwang?

- Hey.
- Yes?

Go up to that student...

and ask her who her mother is.

What?

Do you think that's a bit rude?

Go and ask her if her
mother's name is Ko Mi Ran.

- Hurry.
- "Ko Mi Ran"?

Don't waste time. Hurry up!

- Hurry.
- Excuse me.

Yes.

What did she say? Did you ask her?

Yes, it's not her mother's name.
She's Ko Mi Ran.

What?

What's going on?

What kind of absurd situation is this?

Wait a minute. Is she a time traveler?

Or...

did she get reincarnated?

Mi Ran, did you come all
the way here to meet me?

Mi Ran. Mi Ran.

I reincarnated...

because of you.

I did it just so I could meet you.

Why would you do that for me?

You should've just forgotten
about a jerk like me.

But you reincarnated...

to live another life just for me?

You really are a fool.

Do you like me that much?

You're the only one...

I'll ever love...

even in my next life.

Mi Ran! Mi Ran!

My gosh, you're frozen!

You're frozen!

Mi Ran!

Mi Ran!

Professor Hwang! Professor Hwang!

What's wrong with him?

I think he got shocked
because so many students...

dropped his class.

This suddenly happened
while he was walking.

Professor Hwang.

Students drop your class all the time.

What's the big surprise?

Who was it?

My husband's teaching assistant.

He fainted at school.

It's crazy.

He wants me to bring him new
pants because his pants got dirty.

Why did his pants get dirty
when all he did was faint?

Did he pee his pants?

I don't know.

You should've asked why he fainted.

He has a weak heart.

Why would I ask him that?
I just need to know that he's alive.

You really have no humanism.

Is he alive?

Yes, I guess so.

I wasn't told to attend his funeral.

You sound sad that he's still alive.

Why are you still married to him?

He takes oriental medicine
saying he sees things these days.

I think he fainted due to drug overdose.

He has tons of unknown
drugs in this drawer.

My gosh, think about it.
Mi Ran went back to school.

She might meet your husband.
She goes to the same school.

Hey, he even changed his name.

He got plastic surgery,
so he looks a little different.

Mi Ran won't recognize him.

But Byung Sim will
recognize Mi Ran right away.

My gosh, Byung Sim will
have a heart attack.

I wonder why I didn't think of that.

What do you say we go to school?

Why bother?

Your husband fainted.

We can check up on him while we're there.

I'm not a doctor.
Why would I make a call house?

You mean "house call".

It's not a "call house".
It's called a "house call".

Gosh, you're so dumb.

I saw that on the Internet.

Isn't that really hard to find these days?

I guess she likes retro stuff.

I think I saw you at the
psychology class last time.

You must've dropped the class.

Yes, it was so boring.

So I couldn't bear to sit there.

Did you drop the class too?

Oh, yes.

That's great. I hope we get along.

By the way, who should we
pick as the team leader?

Should we pick the oldest person?

(Chinese Literature, 96, Ko Mi Ran)

Were you born in 1996?

(Chinese Literature, 96, Ko Mi Ran)

You can just call me by my name.

Then we should exchange phone numbers.

From now on, let's share
information using a group chat room.

We can also talk about homework.

I have a limited amount of numbers
I can save on my cell phone.

If you tell me which room it is,

I'll go straight to that room.

But...

do we really need to reserve a room?

Are you kidding me?

Let's all calm down. Director Ma is right.

He needs to get his memory back...

so he can cure our kids...

and come up with a countermeasure.

So you guys can kill him
after he gets his memory back.

We have no room for this
old man in our house.

Then we'll let him stay at our place.

What are you saying?

I'd rather beat him to death!

I'm not going to let him stay at our place!

Then what else can we do?

What if something happens to
him, and he ends up dying?

You're all being a bit too mean...

when I'm sitting right in front of you.

I'm hungry.

My gosh, this is unbelievable.

Then how about we do this?

At night, we'll let him sleep at our place.

During the day, you can let him stay here.

Director Ma asked us for a favor.

Come on. This guy is completely nuts.

How are we going to keep him here?

Mom, let's just do that.

Sometimes, even the most useless
person can be of good use.

I'm sorry, Dong Chan.

But we really had no choice.

You would've done the same
if you were in my shoes.

Okay, fine. Let's say I actually found you.

What would have changed?

The professor was gone.

And no one was capable of thawing you.

So is that why you didn't look for me?

I'll take responsibility for my mistakes.

And you can take responsibility for yours.

That's how we'll deal with this.

Dong Chan!

My gosh, come on. Sit down.

Sit down. Take a seat.

Listen to me. Everything is
intertwined with each other...

like a huge sweet potato vine.

This is Congressman Kim
Si Seok's second time...

getting elected as a congressman,

and he was the person who
made the final decision.

He was the president of the
broadcasting station back then.

He always dreamed of becoming a politician.

I guess his dream came true.

All the higher-ups of every
broadcasting station...

unanimously agreed with each other...

that we should cover up what happened.

Even the chiefs and presidents...

of other broadcasting stations...

So what? What's your point?

Please don't cause a fuss.

It won't do you any good.

That kind of threat never works on me.

Why don't you know that already?

Hong Suk, have you forgotten
what kind of person I am?

Dong Chan.

Let's forget about the past...

and start a new life.

We'll do everything we can to
compensate for what you lost.

First of all, we're willing
to pay you 20 years' worth...

of your unreceived paycheck in a lump sum.

And we'll also pay you 500,000 dollars...

to compensate for the accident.
It will add up to be a huge amount.

Also,

this is my car.

The broadcasting station provides...

a company car along with a driver for me.

I don't need it.

So you can drive it.

The entire country is
talking about you right now.

"The director that disappeared 20
years ago has come back alive!"

"Where was he, and what was he doing?"

I feel like things will become
a huge mess at this rate.

So what?

So what do you want me to do?
What are the conditions?

My gosh, why would you make
it sound so superficial?

Well, the thing is,

we want you to do an
interview on a news channel...

and tell the story yourself.

"I got sick and tired of
making the same type of shows,"

"and that's why I just disappeared."

"I handed in my resignation letter,
but it kept getting rejected."

"So I just left irresponsibly,
and I'm sorry for that."

How does that sound?

Why would I do that?

Why would I lie?

Hey, think about your future.

My gosh, that's not even funny.

Think about your mother.

Think about your family.

How long do they need...

to make a living by selling
spicy stir-fried chicken?

You need to be realistic.

They don't sell spicy stir-fried chicken.

They sell pork ribs.

What is this?

This should...

"Engine start"...

Please enter your destination.

(Cell Phone Market)

What is she doing?

Why isn't it working?

Gosh.

What are you trying to eat?

- Where are you right now?
- "Carbonara".

What country?

No, I wasn't talking to you.

- "Carbonara".
- I'm at the school cafeteria.

I'll come to your school then. Wait there.

- Thank you.
- No problem...

Not you, Mr. Ma.

Not only are you handsome,
but you're also nice.

Not you, Mr. Ma.

I ordered it because the name was unique,

but it's really greasy just like its name.

Hey, Mi Ran.

I know this might sound rude,

but are you from North Korea?

No.

Is this your last semester here?

You must be worried about finding a job.

I think I might start working
as an intern at a station.

- At TBO.
- Really?

It's really hard to get a
job at broadcasting stations.

Good luck.

You're in Journalism and
Public Relations, right?

Yes.

It used to be called
"Journalism and Broadcasting".

My professor majored in
Journalism and Broadcasting.

I can't believe it was during your time.

There's something strange about her.

Everything she has is authentic.

You should speak casually to me.

If you were born in 1996,
you're 4 years older than me.

- Should I?
- Yes. Please be comfortable.

All right, let's do that.
I'll talk casually to you.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Since we're casual and all,

can I have some of your bibimbap?

I can't eat this. It's way too greasy.

Why don't we switch dishes?

What?

I'm so thankful.

- What was your name again?
- Hwang Ji Hoon.

I'm Baek Young Jun.

Ji Hoon, how are you so sweet?

Your parents must have loved you a lot.

How are you...

so wrong?

What?

(Chunwoo Frozen Goods)

Idiot.

Why is she so happy?

Can you make some time for me, Ms. Ko?

I'll text you to discuss our group project.

Okay. I'll wait for your text.

Okay.

- Bye, Mi Ran.
- Bye.

"Okay. I'll wait for your text."

- How old are they?
- Freshmen. Aren't they cute?

Yes, but aren't they young
enough to be your sons?

What are you saying? I'm 24 years old.

I didn't live those 20 years,
so don't add them to my age.

If we count it that way, you're super old.

Ma Dong Chan?

Yes. Who...

Are you Ma Dong Chan who enrolled in
Journalism and Broadcasting in 1987?

It's me, Seo In Seok.
The student representative.

- Don't you remember me?
- Not really...

One tiger

Swallowtail

Hid behind a cloud

Horse Nose?

Yes! It's so nice to see you, my friend.

Hey, hey.

There are people around.

Hey, hold on. Yes.

I saw your article.

"A Director Returns After 20 Years".

How can you look exactly the same?
How is this possible?

It just happened.

Are you well? Did you get married?

I got married then I divorced.

I got remarried after that.

- I guess you were busy.
- I lived hard.

I have a grandchild now.

I got married early.

I see.

I have to run to a class right now.

Let's meet sometime soon.

You should come out to the reunions.

- Okay. Don't forget your bag.
- Bye.

Bye.

It's really strange.

How can someone not change at all?

Gosh.

Did you graduate from our school?

I told you that. Don't you remember?

I said that I paid you extra
since you were my junior.

I don't remember it.

I wonder if they still have
the bench of self-reflection.

I think it was that way.

We should accept the inventions
of the new generation...

and live like humans.

Let's do that.

- How are the proposals going?
- Good.

When should we schedule our first meeting?

I finished my classes for today.

- Do you have them on you?
- Yes.

Did you finish them already?

I told you, didn't I? It's a piece of cake.

Hello?

Where? School?

Okay.

My friends are at school.

Then come to the station to see me later.

You should say hello to my friends.

- Why should I?
- Come on.

My friends are really pretty.

Let's go.

They're my friends from university.

I see. Hello.

Hello, I'm Oh Young Sun.

Hello, I'm Park Kyung Ja.

I see. Hello.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Yes, hello.

I have a lot of work to
do, so I'll get going.

Enjoy your time.

Great.

- Hello?
- Hey.

The license plate number
couldn't be tracked.

When we looked up his
resident registration number,

we found out he's just a thug.

He has two other similar criminal records.

They could be related to
Professor Hwang's case,

but they might not be.

Okay. Best of luck.

I have to go back to work.
I drove here, so I can't drink.

You should get promoted to a chief.

Do you still have to do all the legwork?

You should stop drinking.
Dong Chan is back too.

I'm so sick of living.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

You two are really something.

Why did you get a divorce
if you still meet so often?

Just get married again...

and please take her with you, Young Tak.

How could you say something that horrible?

I parted ways with her because
I wanted a decent life.

I'm finally enjoying my life.

That was so hideous.

Stop your darn nonsense before
I turn this into a mess.

I told you to hold your
mouth when you're with me.

I told you to speak only the 20
percent of what you want to say.

Right.

Guess who's in my house right now.

Professor Hwang...

who conducted the experiment on my brother.

He's with us here.

Look.

I told you to peel these
onions a long time ago.

Why are you still not done?

I'm crying so much...

that I can't peel them.

Is that why you got divorced?

Yes.

He cheated on me with a wench
as young as his daughter.

She was 24 years old.

How sickening.

Is it because I'm old?
I have trouble reading letters these days.

It has been a while since
I couldn't thread a needle.

Take the medication.

- Okay.
- Gosh.

Guess whom she got married with.

You'll be so stunned if you find out.

Who is it?

Hi. I left the pants with
your teaching assistant.

Your low blood pressure
has nothing to do with me.

Don't you dare faint on the street again,

or I'll put you down the gutter.

Shut it.

Who was it? Your son?

My husband.

Gosh, why did you get so mad at him?

It's not like he committed a crime.

I know.

He's so annoying.

You shouldn't throw a fit...

to your husband who fainted on the
street due to low blood pressure.

Be nice to him.

My life is ruined because of him.

Let me tell you who his husband is.

I guess people lose
themselves once in a while.

I used to go out with a jerk
like Hwang Byung Sim too.

I mean, I still think...

he was a total psycho.

I pity his wife the most in the world.

So be good to your husband.

It'll be better than being
Hwang Byung Sim's wife.

Oh, right.

Can you teach me how to use this phone?

Hey, I don't have a
good feeling about this.

We got caught tailing a while ago,

so we shouldn't keep following him.

We must fight fire with fire.

He must've let his guard down
because of what happened earlier.

He could never imagine
that we'd follow him again.

You have got to use your brain.

But is he really 52 years old?

I'm so fascinated about that too.

When I saw him from up close,

his skin was so fair and nice.

What exactly is our job?

What did our client request us?

I've told you many times already.

It's to find out the whereabouts
of Professor Hwang from him.

Who is that?

Gosh.

How am I supposed to know?

It's our client's secret.

Do you know who he is?

Darn.

By the way, why did he go to the bookstore?

To buy books, of course.

- I guess.
- Yes.

You're being annoying these days.

Should I give you a beating in a while?

("Snow White")

("Three Little Pigs")

He's out.

Let's follow him without being caught.

- All right.
- Thank you. Call me.

- Okay, bye.
- Bye.

Goodbye.

I better keep it from
her for the time being.

About me and Hwang Byung Sim.

I guess so.

(Cold-hearted Punk)

I'm at the broadcasting station right now.

(Cold-hearted Punk)

How cute.

(Ko Mi Ran)

(Who am I?)

I kept waiting...

and was about to give up and leave.

What brought you here?

The president told me.

It's the news show at 9pm today.
Can you pull it off?

It's for everyone's sake, so I must do it.

Are you busy tomorrow?

Let's have dinner together.

Sorry.

I want to go home early for the time being.

I need to become closer
to my family members.

Did you see this?

This is so fascinating.

You can buy stuff with
a few touches like this.

This application helps you
translate foreign languages.

And this...

This...

Let me see your proposal.

Okay.

I won't accept your proposal,

but I'll accept your internship.

That's unfair.

What, unfair?

Accept them both.

Do you think variety shows are a joke?

Of course, variety shows have to be funny.

That's not what I mean.

A variety show proposal can't be done...

so easily like this.

Then why are you accepting my internship?

I think highly of your wits and spirit.
That's all.

But why are you suddenly
talking casually to me?

What did I say?
I accepted you as an intern.

- Yes.
- That means...

you're my staff.

I'm training my college junior
who's a lot younger than me.

It'd be weird to be all polite to you.

Got that.

Good.

I'll give you a week. Revise this.

Okay.

- Let's go out.
- To where?

Professor Hwang is in my house.

Why?

Let's go out so I can explain it to you.

I'll explain in the car on our way.

Well, we've decided on making him stay...

at your place at night and my
family's place in the daytime.

My place at night?

Wait. Why my place at night?

You're too fast.

Can't you tell me right now?

Why aren't you saying anything?

This phone can teach me directions too.

Is it you again?

Do you know him?

(Chunwoo Frozen Goods)

Why did they take away my phone?

I took so many photos with it.

Perhaps, in case we'd call the police.

By the way,

why did they lock us in the freezer truck?

- Of all cars.
- Tell me about it.

I guess they're incredibly stupid.

I'll call you back in 10 minutes...

and tell you the whereabouts
of Professor Hwang...

along with my bank account number.

Okay, bye.

How long has it been?

35 minutes.

Maybe they're dead.

I hope they aren't.

Let's go somewhere...

that has neither the Internet
connections nor CCTVs.

- Hurry up.
- Okay.

I'm hungry.

Should we eat that?

- What?
- It's the true form of raw meat.

(Chunwoo Frozen Goods)

I wonder if they're dead.

My gosh, it's freezing.

What's going on? Why do you look so fine?

I don't know where Professor Hwang is.

Didn't you see the news?
Professor Hwang is dead.

I don't know about the dead guy.

Just tell me about the one who's alive.

- Where's Professor Hwang?
- We don't know.

Why are you talking to
us so disrespectfully?

How dare you yell at me?

You should behave like a hostage.

- You darn little...
- Gosh.

Are you wearing a wig?

You're right. He is in disguise
so he won't get caught.

By the way, aren't you guys cold?

How is this possible?

Aren't you cold?

I'm cold.
I also need to go to the bathroom.

She needs to go to the bathroom.

Let her go. You can talk to me.

- No.
- Then let me go.

- Seriously?
- It was a joke.

What kind of joke is that?
Wasn't it a joke, right?

It was a joke.

How can you make a joke when
we got kidnapped? Are you nuts?

Is life a joke to you?

Is this really worth getting angry over?

Are you not capable of feeling
any other emotions than anger?

- Why are you always so angry?
- When was I always so angry?

Plus, you're the cause
of all my anger anyway.

What? Why am I the cause...

Where is...

Professor Hwang?

- We don't know!
- We don't know!

- Hey, let go!
- Give me that!

Give it back!

My gosh!

You little jerk!

You jerk!

You darn little...

Hey, my hair!

You little...

What just happened?

Hey! Give it back to me.

(Chunwoo Frozen Goods)

You weren't joking when you asked
him to let you go, were you?

Gosh, it was a joke.

You weren't joking when you said
we should eat raw meat, were you?

Of course not. I wasn't joking.

Are you an animal?

Are you having fun?

Your friend is in the back.

This really is a legitimate
refrigerated truck...

seeing that it has a license plate.

- Did you steal it?
- No...

I'm going to report you to the cops.
I'm a model citizen.

Bye.

Where are we?

Where in the world is this place?

It's too hot.

Hey, are you okay?

Director Ma.

I think it's because the temperature
increased all of a sudden.

Mi Ran.

Mi Ran, wake up!

No.

Mi Ran!

Wait. Wait.

The hospital. Take us to the hospital.

Excuse me. Out of the way.

Excuse me.

Mi Ran. Mi Ran, wake up.

Don't check her temperature.

Give her a shot to reduce her temperature.

Nurse, check her temperature.

I told you not to do that!
I'll take full responsibility.

Just give her a shot to
reduce her temperature.

We can't let her body temperature increase.

(Ko Mi Ran, Female, 44)

Mi Ran.

What's your dream?

My dream is to earn a living.

It's to make decent money...

and live a happy life.

My body...

feels hot.

I can't sleep without a fan,

and it's exhausting when my body feels hot.

(Na Ha Young)

Hello?

It's time. You need to be on standby.

(Guest, Ma Dong Chan)

Dong Chan.

Good luck.

Will you be okay?

Yes.

Standby.

Hello, everyone.

You're watching Newsline,
and this is Na Ha Young.

Here's our first news.

Do you all remember Director Ma Dong Chan,

the famous director who
disappeared 20 years ago?

So many speculations are
being made right now...

regarding what happened to
him during the past 20 years.

Today, Director Ma...

is with us right now at the studio,

and he is going to tell us the answer...

to all those speculations.

I heard you came here to tell us something.

I am...

Ma Dong Chan, the first person
to survive a cryonics experiment.

Hey!

(Melting Me Softly)

He stands out from far away,

so why did he act as
if he didn't come here?

Do you think I don't know
who put you up to this?

How about we release this first?

I'll be recognized for my ability...

and get transferred to
a full-time position.

Have you ever wondered why Mr. Ma...

is so protective of his subject?

I plan on protecting her until the end.

I'm responsible for Mi Ran's life.

Don't you dare try to
flirt with Mi Ran again,

or I'll kill you.

Hey!

Let's start over again.

Our love hasn't ended yet.
