Melting Me Softly (2019): Season 1, Episode 9 - Between the Cold and the Passion - full transcript
Mi Ran is confused by how Dong Chan acts. He looks like he sometimes makes a step towards her, then suddenly he pushes her away. And a rumor about Dong Chan is spread in the broadcasting station.
(All characters, organizations,
places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Hey, stop acting up.
Did you hear me? Don't act up.
If you keep acting up, I might just...
start liking you.
What? What are you looking at?
What is it? Is there something behind me?
What? What are you staring at?
How dare you have the guts to
stare at your senior like that?
Follow me.
Gosh, it's so hot.
Are you going to keep standing there?
I'll just leave on my own.
Here you go.
I was worried that you might
be allergic to stuff...
like strawberries, chocolate, or kiwi.
So I just got you vanilla ice cream.
I'm not allergic to any of those. But...
But what?
But the only flavor I don't eat is vanilla.
You're unbelievable.
Then give it to me. I'll eat it.
You can give me yours.
I can't give you what I already ate.
I'll just get you a new one.
You're eating what I already ate.
Here.
Are you sober now?
Yes.
Let's get to work.
We have a lot of work to do.
If you drink during working hours
one more time, I'll just fire you.
- Okay.
- You'd better keep your word.
I have a question.
It's about the bureau chief.
Well, from what I know,
you guys used to date...
before you participated in
the cryonics experiment.
Are you guys...
still dating?
If you ask me that right now,
wouldn't that affect our
current relationship?
Is that why you're asking me?
I hope that's not why.
I'm only asking because I'm curious.
She and I are not dating.
Don't smile.
Don't say or do anything...
that might affect our relationship.
Why not?
Do you really not know why?
No, I don't.
We can't get any closer to each other.
If any one of us approaches
the other person like this...
Yes, that's right.
The other person should take a
step back and maintain a distance.
We should at least stay
0.5m away from each other.
If we get any closer,
it'll be dangerous for us.
Why does it have to be 0.5m?
(Episode 9: Between the
Cold and the Passion)
I guess you've finally decided to do it.
Yes, things turned out that way.
You and I both knew it was
going to happen one day.
I'm guessing you're here because
you want me to do something for you.
I need the full support of the News Bureau.
First, let's start off by
announcing that I was the person...
who was in charge of planning
the cryonics experiment.
20 years ago,
you tried so hard to keep it a secret.
But now, you want to announce
that you were the one in charge?
The situation has changed.
Things are different now.
Populism.
My party wants me to use that stance...
to appeal to the people of this country.
I didn't come up with the idea.
There are a lot more
writers and directors...
in politics than in an
actual broadcasting station.
You need to plan out and be
strategic about everything.
Do you know why I transferred
to the News Bureau?
I was just a mediocre announcer
who used to get criticized...
for my spacing and spelling,
but I volunteered to be a reporter.
Do you remember why I did that?
It was so I could find Dong Chan
and do a cover on his disappearance.
That's why I became a reporter.
I had to take another test behind
your back to become a reporter.
I did that.
And that's how you became...
the Chief of the News Bureau.
I couldn't cover anything
whenever that happened.
Because a huge mountain stopped
the huge storm from the front...
and the light breeze from the back.
You were such a huge mountain.
Are you sure you can pretend that
you were never such a big mountain?
Do you think no one will care
about how Ma Dong Chan disappeared,
something you wanted
to cover up that badly?
That big mountain is...
still, no,
it became even bigger now.
I'm still a mountain that can stop...
storms and breezes.
The world has changed, sir.
That's why I'm stepping
down at perfect timing.
I'm telling you to become
an even bigger mountain.
It's only natural for the chief
of news to become the president.
(Chief of News Bureau, Na Ha Young)
I'll cover all the storms
and breezes for you.
Then you can bring about...
a new wind with your title as
the first female president...
of a TV network.
President Na Ha Young.
Sounds cool.
(Audition Application)
Gosh, it'll take forever for the writers...
to go through the applications.
Gosh, everyone's attention
is on this program...
because it's Mr. Ma's show.
Anyway, why haven't I seen
that assistant director...
who's apparently an intern?
Where is she?
Do you want to see the applicants?
Sure. Let me see.
Take this.
This is really cool.
The applicants look great, don't they?
Right.
Do you know who our final boss is?
- The president?
- It's this.
This cell phone.
I even wish to make a
program where people live...
for a week without their phones.
People these days are a
slave to these phones.
And do you know how feeble
people's relationships are?
Most of them will be broken...
if you turn off their computers
and take their phones away.
And people are also getting
stupider and stupider.
In about 100 years,
they'll turn back into homo erectus.
You're right. Come to think of it,
I didn't even memorize my brother's number.
Yes, Ko Nam Tae, 0103491974.
Don't think of this as
how I'm making a move.
I just memorized your
entire family's numbers...
just in case I can't get a hold of you.
I can memorize any numbers once I see them.
I'm sure it's a wonder to you,
but to me, it's just an everyday thing.
Oh, look.
Park Woong Soo, 0101028771.
Do you think I memorized his number
because I was interested in him?
It's all because I'm smart.
Is he overreacting or putting up a wall?
Or is he hitting on me?
(Internship Application)
These are the applicants who
made it through three screenings.
Let's put in two of them in each team.
This is an opportunity to
save the Variety Department.
We're getting hold of...
future talents in advance.
But all of those interns
said they want to work...
with Director Ma Dong Chan.
It's because they never worked with him.
He always bullies people! My gosh!
Did you turn in the budget?
I was about to.
Is that so?
Why don't you do it in a month?
I told you to do it ages ago.
Okay.
- Hyun Gi.
- Yes?
Yes, what?
How long will you stay here?
You need to move your office next to mine.
Move out.
"Move out"?
Even my landlords didn't say that to me.
What is this?
He's so unpredictable,
playing with my heart.
"I might just start liking you."
But then what was that about the 0.5m?
My gosh.
I won't let him walk all over me.
Be careful not to get caught.
No one else should find out...
what your story is, right?
I really don't want Dong Chan...
to get in trouble.
Intern, you must have
an amazing connection.
I'm the main writer,
but you sent me a text,
and never said hello to me.
Where have you been all day long?
I need to speak with you.
Did you say hi to the writer?
I sent her a text message.
I thought it would be too
rude to call her immediately.
She doesn't think so.
She doesn't think texting
is a way of communicating.
She only counts a real conversation.
You got on her bad side.
What should I do?
What do you think? You'll be bullied.
She looks mean, but she's even meaner.
I'm sure she has...
some trouble with her autonomic nerves.
Even I get scared of her.
But why do you work with a writer like her?
She writes great scripts,
gets good guests, and plans well.
I just need her to do her job.
It's not like I'm going to date her.
I'll try to get along with her.
I'm good at moving people's hearts.
I know that about you.
Oh, she's apparently BTS's huge fan.
You better study about them.
If you look aloof...
when she talks about them,
you'll be sent somewhere out in
the universe where I can't help.
"Goodbye, Ko Mi Ran." Like this.
BTS?
Who is that?
Yes, the way you said that
and the way you look...
will make her beat you.
We're working overtime tonight.
Kim Nam Joon, Kim Seok Jin,
Min Yoon Gi, Jung Ho Seok,
Park Ji Min,
Kim Tae Hyung, Jeon Jung Kook, BTS.
Other than those people in their 40s,
we need to get some celebrities here too.
Did you make a list of candidates?
I plan on sending out the
proposal to management agencies...
and get the singers' schedules.
Let's get BTS here.
Kim Nam Joon, Kim Seok Jin, Min Yoon Gi,
Jung Ho Seok, Park Ji Min,
Kim Tae Hyung, and Jeon Jung Kook.
Let's get all of them.
Are you kidding me, Intern?
I'm not joking.
I really love BTS too.
Should we get them?
BTS isn't in Korea right now.
But...
Mi Ran loves...
this program a little too much.
I know BTS is a global star,
but we can try to get them.
Why are you all so shocked?
Well, because of our budget...
Still, we can make a call.
- Yes.
- We can try.
It doesn't cost anything to make a call.
- Let's ask them.
- What's their number?
I'm sure their agency will pick up.
Are there any other celebrities?
Kwak Cheol Yong.
Kwak Cheol Yong? What's his name...
- I mean, give me the info.
- Yes, him.
Will you call them?
(Chairman Lee Seok Du of Unsung Group)
(Restricted Number)
Hello?
Can we meet tonight?
Yes, I don't care even if it's late.
Let's meet up.
I'll wait.
Yes, I'll call you again.
Wait...
That style looks great.
It looks great.
And it's much shorter.
You have to take this.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, great work.
Is it tasty?
Contact them, and check their schedule.
These are three points each.
No. No. No...
Gosh. Go home.
If you're going to keep on yawning
while taking sleep out of your eyes,
just go home. Go home. Go home and do it.
Hurry up and leave.
(Vacant)
Let's go.
Seoul, 6B3904.
I have the taxi number memorized.
When you get home safely, text me.
Why does he keep on going back and forth?
I thought he wanted to keep a distance.
Is something uncomfortable, ma'am?
No. I'm talking to myself.
(Bureau Chief, Na Ha Young)
Hello?
I'll go to the station now.
It'll take me 30 minutes.
I'll wait for you.
My office is on the seventh floor.
They're strict about security
here, so they'll try to stop you.
I'll let them know that you're coming.
Like I mentioned earlier,
let me see Director Ma Dong Chan too.
I'll arrange it.
She's coming now.
The person who reported about
Professor Jo's car explosion.
He's Unsung Group's Chairman
Lee Yang Gon's son...
born out of wedlock.
After Lee Yang Gon was
diagnosed with lung cancer,
the company faltered while
they figured out the successor.
At the time, the financial world
had its hierarchy shuffled...
thanks to the construction
of the water system in Libya.
According to his family register,
Chairman Lee's wife didn't have a son.
That's why Lee Seok Du was
added to the family register...
and he received training as the successor.
Do we know anything about
what Lee Seok Du did...
before he turned 37?
That is on another page.
(Immigrated to the US in June, 1971.)
After he got his Ph.D. from the
University of Illinois Springfield,
he was living an ordinary life in the US.
It looks like his wife is still in the US.
We can consider them separated.
In 1998, he was assaulted by
a group and fell into a coma.
After 50 months of hospitalization,
he woke up miraculously.
Everyone called it a miracle,
because they thought...
it was impossible for
him to come back alive.
1998...
1998...
After he narrowly escaped death,
he has been continuously donating...
large sums to that hospital
that saved his life.
This is as much as I can find out for you.
Now, you have to tell me
why you needed these data.
In Professor Hwang's lab,
there's a man in a capsule,
and he looks like Lee Seok Du.
What?
He doesn't just look like him.
They look identical...
including their faces and their builds.
No wonder you're a director
in Variety Department.
There are so many lookalikes in this world.
Why didn't you...
come that day?
I guess a hotel room...
could make someone uncomfortable.
- I was just...
- I still see you as a woman,
but I have no intention
of starting over with you.
But you wanted to see me in a hotel room.
That's why...
I couldn't go.
When a woman tells a man
her hotel room number,
do you have any idea...
- where she would want from the man?
- That's why I didn't go.
Because I knew how you felt.
Because your feelings
don't align with mine.
Here you go.
Did you finish moving all of your stuff?
Yes. I'm sorry I woke
you up at this late hour.
I apologize, Mother.
It's okay. I was waiting since
my daughter didn't come home yet.
What could she be doing so late...
that she's late to come home?
Gosh.
How is a professor like you so outgoing,
fit, and kind?
Let's get along like a family, Mother.
Gosh. Are you home, Mi Ran? This is...
He disappeared so fast.
Where did he go?
If you keep acting up, I might just...
start liking you.
Just a moment.
What are you trying to do? Hey, let go.
- Mr. Jung.
- Let go!
Why do you think she wants to see me?
She's someone who knows who
wants to kill Professor Jo.
She's someone who wants to meet with me.
Where do the lines meet?
Before that, I have a question.
Did Professor Hwang...
really die?
(Restricted number)
(Speaker)
- Hello?
- Please save my husband.
Cryonic capsule...
It's been a while, dear sister-in-law.
Since when did you start getting
along so well with Mr. Jung?
What were you planning to do
at the broadcasting station?
You won't be able to find
the remains of Mr. Jung.
Do they call such a thing a useless death?
By the way, why do you think...
I kept you alive?
Where is Lee Seok Du?
I don't know either.
That's impossible.
I was going to the
station to find that out.
I was going to ask that director guy.
Please let my husband come back alive.
We'll live quietly like dead people.
Please help him out of the cryonic capsule.
You should've never let
me taste money and power.
Chairman Lee Yang Gon should've never...
made Lee Seok Du his successor!
If Lee Seok Du comes back alive...
Then where will I go?
You can just...
continue to live...
as Lee Seok Du.
I'll let you do that.
If that's what you had in
mind, you should've come to me,
not the broadcasting station!
Whoever tries to wake Lee Seok Du...
will end up getting killed...
regardless of whom that may be.
Listen to me carefully.
I'm Lee Seok Du, not Lee Hyeong Du.
I will kill anyone that tries...
to cause confusion about that.
I think I should call the cops.
No.
Not yet.
Don't agonize over it too much.
In the end, this is my problem.
This is just a scoop to you.
Do you think I'm being like
this because I lost a scoop?
It's because I'm worried about you.
I'm worried you might be in danger
and suddenly disappear again.
That's what I'm worried about.
It's late. You should go home.
I didn't bring my car.
Okay, I'll drive you home.
(Petition for Divorce)
I'll adjust to the temperature
that makes you feel comfortable.
I can do that for you.
Ha Young.
I'm sorry.
About what?
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you...
for the past 20 years.
20 years just felt like a day to me.
But I guess it's really been that long.
I can't do anything to compensate...
for the past 20 years you
spent all by yourself.
We already lost...
our timing.
When I look at you,
my heart...
no longer flutters.
I don't love you.
I think this is the end for us.
By any chance, are you ending it...
because your heart now belongs...
to someone else?
Let's see. It's perfect.
My goodness!
Hello, Professor.
Who are you?
My name is Ko Nam Tae.
My goodness, Nam Tae.
You've grown so much.
You know me?
Of course, I know you.
You ruined my first kiss.
You darn punk.
Anyway, I'm glad to see you.
I hope we get along.
Who are you?
Well, I'm...
This professor right here lost his memory.
He's staying with us so
he could retrieve it.
Hello?
Really? I got the job?
Thank you.
Yes, when can I start working?
Then will I get to work
with Director Ma Dong Chan?
Okay.
Tomorrow afternoon?
I'll be there right after
I'm done with school.
Okay, thank you.
Are you on your way to school?
Yes.
I'm okay.
So you don't need to worry.
Are you really okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
I'm serious.
You're the one who told me...
that it's better to be happy than
to stay in an unhappy marriage.
Although it's not exactly what
my kid should be telling me.
I got the intern job at
the broadcasting station.
I'll only be working
there during winter break.
But it'll still help me out a
lot when I try to get a job.
Ji Hoon.
How do you know Ko Mi Ran?
I happened to see the photo...
in your cell phone.
How do you know my friend?
"Friend"?
Friend, my foot.
You should go to school.
There are steps to doing that.
When do you want me to finish this?
The sooner the better.
Then should I give it to you by lunch?
Yes, that'd be great.
That will help me out a lot.
- Hello.
- Hey.
I feel like this person and
the guy I showed you earlier...
have similar stories.
These two are a married couple.
I think they'll have a lot to talk about.
They came back after
having emigrated abroad.
So I think they'll have
a lot of stories to tell.
Let's call this person as well.
From now on, if you have something
to tell me, you can write it here.
- Let's do it today.
- Okay.
And make sure the list doesn't overlap.
This guy has a lot of hobbies too.
Should contact him?
Yes.
Doesn't he seem interesting?
I'll keep a note about him.
Come to the editing room right now.
Do you really want to be
a variety show director?
Yes.
It's a bit late to have a dream,
but I seriously want to make this work.
Okay, in that case, let's turn
"Go Go 99" into a great program.
Okay.
You told me 20 years ago...
that you just want to make a living.
And you also said,
"That's what I want too."
Did I?
It seems like that was just yesterday.
Mr. Ma, why do you work as
a variety show director?
After we were born,
we have to make sure the world is
a better place than when we came.
I want people in this
world to laugh a lot more.
I want them to feel happier
today than yesterday...
and laugh a little more
after seeing my shows.
There's nothing greater than that.
I take pride because I
believe what I do is...
greater than establishing a
country with guns and swords...
or making a huge building with money.
You should make people
happier than they are today.
Your dream will begin here
with the "Go Go 99" project.
Make sure you do this right.
It'll be greater than
simply making a living.
I can never find him
when I actually need him.
How dare he take a day
off without telling me?
Professor Hwang isn't the problem.
It's Dong Ju.
She won't pick up her phone.
What if she got wasted,
fell somewhere, and died?
Just leave her alone even
if she ends up dying.
I don't care anymore.
Now she's in her 50s,
then she should be mature.
This isn't good.
I should call Dong Chan.
(The 90s)
The project looks amazing. Good luck.
- Hello?
- Dong Chan, it's me.
Yes.
Dong Ju left home.
I can't get a hold of her.
What? She left home? Has...
Has this ever happened before?
No, we always knew where she was.
But I couldn't get a hold
of her since yesterday.
Did you report it to the police?
Young Tak is a police officer.
I told him about it,
but he doesn't care, not even an inch.
An... An inch?
No, not even a little.
It's a way of expression.
He seemed fed up with her.
Let's wait until tonight.
I'm sure she'll come home.
I'll give her a good
warning when she comes in.
Goodness. Why can't she
get a hold of herself?
Okay. Let's hang up for now.
What do women in their 50s do at nights?
Why didn't she come home last night?
- Who?
- My sister.
Oh, right. I see.
I have no idea why she
lives such an odd life.
I think she hit menopause.
I totally know how that feels.
You need to give her more attention.
I know she's my sister,
but I can't be harsh on her...
whenever I see her face.
She seems like an elderly.
You can treat her like how you treat me.
You treat me harshly.
Why are you like that?
You're right. I can do it to you,
but why can't I do that to her?
My gosh.
Anyway, why did you want to see me?
It's not exactly about the show, is it?
Is Chairman Lee Seok Du of
Unsung the sponsor for...
your political career?
I guess so.
Then may I tag along next time you see him?
Really?
Yes, it would be great to get to know him.
I'll ask him to sponsor our program too.
Goodness, of course, you can come.
It seems like Chairman Lee
is greatly interested in you.
- Me?
- Yes.
He's really interested in
the cryonics experiment.
I see.
The audition is tomorrow at two o'clock.
Yes, you don't have to bring anything.
Okay, thank you.
Will anything change from
building up the wall?
We have to keep seeing each other.
I can see parts of your face
through all these things.
You wanted to keep a
distance of 0.5m between us.
Putting up these things in front
won't keep our distance at 50cm.
You were bad at math in
school, weren't you?
Do you know a thing about width,
length, 2-dimension and 3?
I thought you were talking about
the distance of our hearts.
This won't keep the distance of our hearts.
It's like elementary school students
trying to shut each other out.
I have trouble staying focused,
and I get distracted easily.
Of course, you do.
If you sit there in front of me,
I can't seem to focus on work.
Why?
I told you. I get distracted easily.
Gosh, I don't understand.
Isn't it distracting to
have these things and books?
I feel frustrated to
have my vision blocked.
Stop picking a fight. It's what I want.
Fine, this is what I want.
This is what I want.
It's not distracting at all.
Much better now.
- Great work.
- Okay.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
Something came up at home,
so I'm leaving early.
Okay.
So you should go home now too.
I'll go home alone. Don't worry about me.
I can't stop worrying or
worry about someone...
whenever I'm told to.
Let's go home. I'll drop you off.
Why do you keep changing your mind?
You're confusing me!
I told you that I'm leaving alone.
You want to keep a distance,
then you say you're worried.
How do you really feel, you jerk?
I have to organize some
materials for the audition.
You already gave me everything.
What else do you have?
Are you the type who studies
after the tests are over?
Just pretend like you don't
want to and follow me.
Let's go home.
Hurry up.
Aren't we a little too close
for you to sneak peeks of me?
I wasn't sneaking peeks.
Then why did you turn
away when our eyes met?
Are you a player?
No.
You must not realize it,
but you're absolutely a player.
You're good at turning women into fools.
Gosh. You've never seen a player before,
so how should you know what they're like?
Hello?
Mi Ran?
Yes, Ji Hoon.
I got accepted as TBO's intern.
Really? Congratulations.
I hope you and I can work on the same team.
Me too.
I miss you.
Mi Ran?
Yes. Sure.
I miss you too.
We'll get to see each
other often now, right?
We better.
Mi Ran, I'll be going
to the station tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
I should ask who it is...
to make this situation go smoothly, right?
No, you don't have to ask.
All the more reasons to ask.
Is it a man?
- Of course.
- He must be younger than you.
That's right.
- Is he handsome?
- Absolutely.
"Absolutely"?
Why would a young and handsome
man call you at this hour?
What kind of question is that?
If he's a young and handsome man,
who should he be calling at what time?
I heard that kids these days...
don't invest time on women
unless they're serious.
What do you mean?
You don't like him, do you?
Why would he call someone
that doesn't even like him...
to waste his energy on?
That's what I'm wondering.
Why do you think I don't like him?
Tell me...
why you don't think I like him.
Because you like someone else.
You're easily distracted.
How could you like two
people with a single heart?
Then...
who are you saying I like?
I'm just saying...
whatever comes to mind.
Why are you overreacting?
Are you hungry?
Yes, a little. I'm hungry.
Then go home and eat with your family.
I'll do the same.
It's because I promised my
family I'd eat with them today.
You should go in.
I didn't say anything.
I know you're mad at me
because I didn't eat with you.
You're wrong.
I know I'm right.
It's Mi Ran.
It's the cryonic man.
It's the jerk...
who's 52 only on paper.
("Go Go 99")
(Break the limits of age
and turn the time around)
Nam Tae.
Yes?
Can you help me record a video?
Hey, Ma Dong Chan! Step away from my woman!
In dramas and movies,
people tend to get their memories back...
when they get a concussion.
Something dramatic like that
won't happen right now, will it?
Life isn't that easy.
Of course not. Such a thing won't happen.
By the way, if you have a doctor's degree,
what was your major?
It's confidential so I can't tell you.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
By the way, what's your relation...
with Ma Dong Chan?
Why do you hate him so much?
I won't forgive Ma Dong Chan!
I'm glad Dong Ju's safe.
Hey, did it look like she was with a man?
I think I might know the guy she's seeing.
I think it's Mr. Chu whom she
met at the center for alcoholics.
She always goes, "Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu."
She always looks for
him whenever she drinks.
Are you saying she's dating an alcoholic?
Only an alcoholic would date my sister.
Why would a normal person
without addictions date her?
Alcoholic Mr. Chu?
Is it a title of a novel
from the middle ages?
She's a crazy one.
What will we do if she
wants to get married again?
I know. That's what I worry about too.
She gets married like it's nothing...
as if it's her hobby.
Why did Dong Ju turn out this way?
What happened in the last 20 years?
I don't know what to do whenever I see her.
Uncle, take a picture of proof with me.
- A picture?
- Yes.
I told my friends that
you're the cryonic man,
but they won't believe me.
Why not?
Are you sure it's not
because you lie too much?
No. It's because the kids
are always being lied to.
They were hurt by lies.
All right.
Gosh. My cute niece.
I can already see what kind
of adult you'll become.
What kind of adult do
you think I'll become?
There's a woman I know well,
and I think you might turn out
to be like her when you grow up.
She's pretty, isn't she?
Of course she's pretty.
Maybe she's pretty only to you.
Yes, but she only needs to be pretty to me.
She's really pretty.

- Freud?
- Mi Ran.
Do you know what Freud said?
"Anatomy is destiny."
I'm so glad we rented
out the rooftop house.
Nam Tae loves that professor.
Not only is he handsome,
he's really fit.
He's also really friendly.
He always calls me "Mother".
Is our tenant a professor?
Yes.
He's not a Psychology professor
from my school, is he?
He is. How did you know?
This is driving me crazy.
Young Sun.
Yes, Mi Ran.
Hey,
I thought you should know this.
Byung Sim is at my house.
What are you talking about?
We rented out our rooftop house,
and Byung Sim moved in.
What?
Hello. I'm Mi Ran's friend, Oh Young Sun.
I can recognize you.
You're Mi Ran's friend...
Could I borrow this, Father?
Hey. Young Sun!
Hey, you fake 52-year-old.
Stay away from my woman.
Stop lurking around my woman!
Hey, Ma Dong Chan.
- What?
- Step away from my woman.
- Mr. Ma?
- You completely ruined my life!
Now, it's time for you to man
up and take responsibility!
- He messed with that guy's wife?
- How could he date a married woman?
- He's unbelievable.
- Seriously.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Come on. That guy told him
not to mess with his woman.
That obviously means Director
Ma is dating a married woman.
What is the matter with you?
Stop making stuff up...
based on that ridiculous video clip.
Why would Dong Chan date a married woman?
That's absurd.
That man sent that video clip
to our official email address.
It obviously shows that
he's holding a huge grudge.
Imagine how angry he must've
felt to do something like that.
Do you think I shouldn't have deleted it?
What are you talking about?
The chief would've gotten furious.
- You did the right thing.
- Right?
Why would I have gotten furious?
Dong Chan. Dong Chan.
Take a look at this.
Hurry.
Hey, you fake 52-year-old.
Stay away from my woman.
Who have you been seeing these days?
This guy sent this video clip
to our official email address.
I get that you've been single for 20 years.
But regardless of how desperate you may be,
you should never mess with a married woman.
("Go Go 99")
Do you really think he's
dating a married woman?
He obviously looks like a playboy.
Do you think that's why
he broke up with Chief Na?
They're apparently really
awkward around each other.
- 20 years doesn't change anything.
- I guess you're right.
Hello.
Did you take a day off yesterday...
to get a haircut?
Do you like it?
Well, it's cute.
I'll head back...
to my laboratory.
I should get my memory back.
I think that place will
help me find my memory.
My son purposely brought you here...
because it's dangerous there.
No.
I want to confront it.
I need to get my memory back...
in order to help your
son live a normal life.
Please do what you can to make that happen.
I'll do anything for you.
Why are you wearing a hat?
I'm destroying common sense.
A suit and a fedora.
Don't I look like Sirasoni?
That look doesn't suit him at all.
This is the moment I've been waiting for.
Let's fight man to man.
Go ahead and hit me. Come on! Come on!
Would you like to appear on TV?
- What?
- First of all,
unclench your fists.
Let's talk.
- A TV show?
- Yes, a TV show.
Stay away from my woman.
- Stop lurking around my woman!
- My gosh.
Listen to me, Ma Dong Chan.
I'm sorry for causing trouble.
I don't love you.
Sir.
(Here's the truth behind Ko Mi Ran,

to announce the final participants
of the show via email.
We have a situation. Come to my office.
Okay.

(She shamelessly used the
situation to her advantage...)
Why do you keep making me look for you?
Why are you crying? It's not like you.
It's nothing to laugh about.
I'll protect you.
What do you mean by that?
I'm the person who should be responsible,
so I'll do whatever it takes to
prevent you from getting hurt.
So don't worry.
Just continue to live your life...
doing what you want.
That's all you need to do.
Mi Ran.
I'm sorry.
(Melting Me Softly)
You did nothing wrong.
Just be yourself and be confident about it.
You're pretty, so don't smile like that.
Hey, come on. Mi Ran.
- Come in.
- No, it's okay.
Who's that guy over there
who's smiling next to Mi Ran?
He's the intern that joined your team.
From now on, don't look back.
Live a life that makes you happy.
What do you think
would've happened to us...
if I had stopped you from
doing that experiment?
I have...
nowhere else to hide.
Let's just go with it.
places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Hey, stop acting up.
Did you hear me? Don't act up.
If you keep acting up, I might just...
start liking you.
What? What are you looking at?
What is it? Is there something behind me?
What? What are you staring at?
How dare you have the guts to
stare at your senior like that?
Follow me.
Gosh, it's so hot.
Are you going to keep standing there?
I'll just leave on my own.
Here you go.
I was worried that you might
be allergic to stuff...
like strawberries, chocolate, or kiwi.
So I just got you vanilla ice cream.
I'm not allergic to any of those. But...
But what?
But the only flavor I don't eat is vanilla.
You're unbelievable.
Then give it to me. I'll eat it.
You can give me yours.
I can't give you what I already ate.
I'll just get you a new one.
You're eating what I already ate.
Here.
Are you sober now?
Yes.
Let's get to work.
We have a lot of work to do.
If you drink during working hours
one more time, I'll just fire you.
- Okay.
- You'd better keep your word.
I have a question.
It's about the bureau chief.
Well, from what I know,
you guys used to date...
before you participated in
the cryonics experiment.
Are you guys...
still dating?
If you ask me that right now,
wouldn't that affect our
current relationship?
Is that why you're asking me?
I hope that's not why.
I'm only asking because I'm curious.
She and I are not dating.
Don't smile.
Don't say or do anything...
that might affect our relationship.
Why not?
Do you really not know why?
No, I don't.
We can't get any closer to each other.
If any one of us approaches
the other person like this...
Yes, that's right.
The other person should take a
step back and maintain a distance.
We should at least stay
0.5m away from each other.
If we get any closer,
it'll be dangerous for us.
Why does it have to be 0.5m?
(Episode 9: Between the
Cold and the Passion)
I guess you've finally decided to do it.
Yes, things turned out that way.
You and I both knew it was
going to happen one day.
I'm guessing you're here because
you want me to do something for you.
I need the full support of the News Bureau.
First, let's start off by
announcing that I was the person...
who was in charge of planning
the cryonics experiment.
20 years ago,
you tried so hard to keep it a secret.
But now, you want to announce
that you were the one in charge?
The situation has changed.
Things are different now.
Populism.
My party wants me to use that stance...
to appeal to the people of this country.
I didn't come up with the idea.
There are a lot more
writers and directors...
in politics than in an
actual broadcasting station.
You need to plan out and be
strategic about everything.
Do you know why I transferred
to the News Bureau?
I was just a mediocre announcer
who used to get criticized...
for my spacing and spelling,
but I volunteered to be a reporter.
Do you remember why I did that?
It was so I could find Dong Chan
and do a cover on his disappearance.
That's why I became a reporter.
I had to take another test behind
your back to become a reporter.
I did that.
And that's how you became...
the Chief of the News Bureau.
I couldn't cover anything
whenever that happened.
Because a huge mountain stopped
the huge storm from the front...
and the light breeze from the back.
You were such a huge mountain.
Are you sure you can pretend that
you were never such a big mountain?
Do you think no one will care
about how Ma Dong Chan disappeared,
something you wanted
to cover up that badly?
That big mountain is...
still, no,
it became even bigger now.
I'm still a mountain that can stop...
storms and breezes.
The world has changed, sir.
That's why I'm stepping
down at perfect timing.
I'm telling you to become
an even bigger mountain.
It's only natural for the chief
of news to become the president.
(Chief of News Bureau, Na Ha Young)
I'll cover all the storms
and breezes for you.
Then you can bring about...
a new wind with your title as
the first female president...
of a TV network.
President Na Ha Young.
Sounds cool.
(Audition Application)
Gosh, it'll take forever for the writers...
to go through the applications.
Gosh, everyone's attention
is on this program...
because it's Mr. Ma's show.
Anyway, why haven't I seen
that assistant director...
who's apparently an intern?
Where is she?
Do you want to see the applicants?
Sure. Let me see.
Take this.
This is really cool.
The applicants look great, don't they?
Right.
Do you know who our final boss is?
- The president?
- It's this.
This cell phone.
I even wish to make a
program where people live...
for a week without their phones.
People these days are a
slave to these phones.
And do you know how feeble
people's relationships are?
Most of them will be broken...
if you turn off their computers
and take their phones away.
And people are also getting
stupider and stupider.
In about 100 years,
they'll turn back into homo erectus.
You're right. Come to think of it,
I didn't even memorize my brother's number.
Yes, Ko Nam Tae, 0103491974.
Don't think of this as
how I'm making a move.
I just memorized your
entire family's numbers...
just in case I can't get a hold of you.
I can memorize any numbers once I see them.
I'm sure it's a wonder to you,
but to me, it's just an everyday thing.
Oh, look.
Park Woong Soo, 0101028771.
Do you think I memorized his number
because I was interested in him?
It's all because I'm smart.
Is he overreacting or putting up a wall?
Or is he hitting on me?
(Internship Application)
These are the applicants who
made it through three screenings.
Let's put in two of them in each team.
This is an opportunity to
save the Variety Department.
We're getting hold of...
future talents in advance.
But all of those interns
said they want to work...
with Director Ma Dong Chan.
It's because they never worked with him.
He always bullies people! My gosh!
Did you turn in the budget?
I was about to.
Is that so?
Why don't you do it in a month?
I told you to do it ages ago.
Okay.
- Hyun Gi.
- Yes?
Yes, what?
How long will you stay here?
You need to move your office next to mine.
Move out.
"Move out"?
Even my landlords didn't say that to me.
What is this?
He's so unpredictable,
playing with my heart.
"I might just start liking you."
But then what was that about the 0.5m?
My gosh.
I won't let him walk all over me.
Be careful not to get caught.
No one else should find out...
what your story is, right?
I really don't want Dong Chan...
to get in trouble.
Intern, you must have
an amazing connection.
I'm the main writer,
but you sent me a text,
and never said hello to me.
Where have you been all day long?
I need to speak with you.
Did you say hi to the writer?
I sent her a text message.
I thought it would be too
rude to call her immediately.
She doesn't think so.
She doesn't think texting
is a way of communicating.
She only counts a real conversation.
You got on her bad side.
What should I do?
What do you think? You'll be bullied.
She looks mean, but she's even meaner.
I'm sure she has...
some trouble with her autonomic nerves.
Even I get scared of her.
But why do you work with a writer like her?
She writes great scripts,
gets good guests, and plans well.
I just need her to do her job.
It's not like I'm going to date her.
I'll try to get along with her.
I'm good at moving people's hearts.
I know that about you.
Oh, she's apparently BTS's huge fan.
You better study about them.
If you look aloof...
when she talks about them,
you'll be sent somewhere out in
the universe where I can't help.
"Goodbye, Ko Mi Ran." Like this.
BTS?
Who is that?
Yes, the way you said that
and the way you look...
will make her beat you.
We're working overtime tonight.
Kim Nam Joon, Kim Seok Jin,
Min Yoon Gi, Jung Ho Seok,
Park Ji Min,
Kim Tae Hyung, Jeon Jung Kook, BTS.
Other than those people in their 40s,
we need to get some celebrities here too.
Did you make a list of candidates?
I plan on sending out the
proposal to management agencies...
and get the singers' schedules.
Let's get BTS here.
Kim Nam Joon, Kim Seok Jin, Min Yoon Gi,
Jung Ho Seok, Park Ji Min,
Kim Tae Hyung, and Jeon Jung Kook.
Let's get all of them.
Are you kidding me, Intern?
I'm not joking.
I really love BTS too.
Should we get them?
BTS isn't in Korea right now.
But...
Mi Ran loves...
this program a little too much.
I know BTS is a global star,
but we can try to get them.
Why are you all so shocked?
Well, because of our budget...
Still, we can make a call.
- Yes.
- We can try.
It doesn't cost anything to make a call.
- Let's ask them.
- What's their number?
I'm sure their agency will pick up.
Are there any other celebrities?
Kwak Cheol Yong.
Kwak Cheol Yong? What's his name...
- I mean, give me the info.
- Yes, him.
Will you call them?
(Chairman Lee Seok Du of Unsung Group)
(Restricted Number)
Hello?
Can we meet tonight?
Yes, I don't care even if it's late.
Let's meet up.
I'll wait.
Yes, I'll call you again.
Wait...
That style looks great.
It looks great.
And it's much shorter.
You have to take this.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, great work.
Is it tasty?
Contact them, and check their schedule.
These are three points each.
No. No. No...
Gosh. Go home.
If you're going to keep on yawning
while taking sleep out of your eyes,
just go home. Go home. Go home and do it.
Hurry up and leave.
(Vacant)
Let's go.
Seoul, 6B3904.
I have the taxi number memorized.
When you get home safely, text me.
Why does he keep on going back and forth?
I thought he wanted to keep a distance.
Is something uncomfortable, ma'am?
No. I'm talking to myself.
(Bureau Chief, Na Ha Young)
Hello?
I'll go to the station now.
It'll take me 30 minutes.
I'll wait for you.
My office is on the seventh floor.
They're strict about security
here, so they'll try to stop you.
I'll let them know that you're coming.
Like I mentioned earlier,
let me see Director Ma Dong Chan too.
I'll arrange it.
She's coming now.
The person who reported about
Professor Jo's car explosion.
He's Unsung Group's Chairman
Lee Yang Gon's son...
born out of wedlock.
After Lee Yang Gon was
diagnosed with lung cancer,
the company faltered while
they figured out the successor.
At the time, the financial world
had its hierarchy shuffled...
thanks to the construction
of the water system in Libya.
According to his family register,
Chairman Lee's wife didn't have a son.
That's why Lee Seok Du was
added to the family register...
and he received training as the successor.
Do we know anything about
what Lee Seok Du did...
before he turned 37?
That is on another page.
(Immigrated to the US in June, 1971.)
After he got his Ph.D. from the
University of Illinois Springfield,
he was living an ordinary life in the US.
It looks like his wife is still in the US.
We can consider them separated.
In 1998, he was assaulted by
a group and fell into a coma.
After 50 months of hospitalization,
he woke up miraculously.
Everyone called it a miracle,
because they thought...
it was impossible for
him to come back alive.
1998...
1998...
After he narrowly escaped death,
he has been continuously donating...
large sums to that hospital
that saved his life.
This is as much as I can find out for you.
Now, you have to tell me
why you needed these data.
In Professor Hwang's lab,
there's a man in a capsule,
and he looks like Lee Seok Du.
What?
He doesn't just look like him.
They look identical...
including their faces and their builds.
No wonder you're a director
in Variety Department.
There are so many lookalikes in this world.
Why didn't you...
come that day?
I guess a hotel room...
could make someone uncomfortable.
- I was just...
- I still see you as a woman,
but I have no intention
of starting over with you.
But you wanted to see me in a hotel room.
That's why...
I couldn't go.
When a woman tells a man
her hotel room number,
do you have any idea...
- where she would want from the man?
- That's why I didn't go.
Because I knew how you felt.
Because your feelings
don't align with mine.
Here you go.
Did you finish moving all of your stuff?
Yes. I'm sorry I woke
you up at this late hour.
I apologize, Mother.
It's okay. I was waiting since
my daughter didn't come home yet.
What could she be doing so late...
that she's late to come home?
Gosh.
How is a professor like you so outgoing,
fit, and kind?
Let's get along like a family, Mother.
Gosh. Are you home, Mi Ran? This is...
He disappeared so fast.
Where did he go?
If you keep acting up, I might just...
start liking you.
Just a moment.
What are you trying to do? Hey, let go.
- Mr. Jung.
- Let go!
Why do you think she wants to see me?
She's someone who knows who
wants to kill Professor Jo.
She's someone who wants to meet with me.
Where do the lines meet?
Before that, I have a question.
Did Professor Hwang...
really die?
(Restricted number)
(Speaker)
- Hello?
- Please save my husband.
Cryonic capsule...
It's been a while, dear sister-in-law.
Since when did you start getting
along so well with Mr. Jung?
What were you planning to do
at the broadcasting station?
You won't be able to find
the remains of Mr. Jung.
Do they call such a thing a useless death?
By the way, why do you think...
I kept you alive?
Where is Lee Seok Du?
I don't know either.
That's impossible.
I was going to the
station to find that out.
I was going to ask that director guy.
Please let my husband come back alive.
We'll live quietly like dead people.
Please help him out of the cryonic capsule.
You should've never let
me taste money and power.
Chairman Lee Yang Gon should've never...
made Lee Seok Du his successor!
If Lee Seok Du comes back alive...
Then where will I go?
You can just...
continue to live...
as Lee Seok Du.
I'll let you do that.
If that's what you had in
mind, you should've come to me,
not the broadcasting station!
Whoever tries to wake Lee Seok Du...
will end up getting killed...
regardless of whom that may be.
Listen to me carefully.
I'm Lee Seok Du, not Lee Hyeong Du.
I will kill anyone that tries...
to cause confusion about that.
I think I should call the cops.
No.
Not yet.
Don't agonize over it too much.
In the end, this is my problem.
This is just a scoop to you.
Do you think I'm being like
this because I lost a scoop?
It's because I'm worried about you.
I'm worried you might be in danger
and suddenly disappear again.
That's what I'm worried about.
It's late. You should go home.
I didn't bring my car.
Okay, I'll drive you home.
(Petition for Divorce)
I'll adjust to the temperature
that makes you feel comfortable.
I can do that for you.
Ha Young.
I'm sorry.
About what?
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you...
for the past 20 years.
20 years just felt like a day to me.
But I guess it's really been that long.
I can't do anything to compensate...
for the past 20 years you
spent all by yourself.
We already lost...
our timing.
When I look at you,
my heart...
no longer flutters.
I don't love you.
I think this is the end for us.
By any chance, are you ending it...
because your heart now belongs...
to someone else?
Let's see. It's perfect.
My goodness!
Hello, Professor.
Who are you?
My name is Ko Nam Tae.
My goodness, Nam Tae.
You've grown so much.
You know me?
Of course, I know you.
You ruined my first kiss.
You darn punk.
Anyway, I'm glad to see you.
I hope we get along.
Who are you?
Well, I'm...
This professor right here lost his memory.
He's staying with us so
he could retrieve it.
Hello?
Really? I got the job?
Thank you.
Yes, when can I start working?
Then will I get to work
with Director Ma Dong Chan?
Okay.
Tomorrow afternoon?
I'll be there right after
I'm done with school.
Okay, thank you.
Are you on your way to school?
Yes.
I'm okay.
So you don't need to worry.
Are you really okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
I'm serious.
You're the one who told me...
that it's better to be happy than
to stay in an unhappy marriage.
Although it's not exactly what
my kid should be telling me.
I got the intern job at
the broadcasting station.
I'll only be working
there during winter break.
But it'll still help me out a
lot when I try to get a job.
Ji Hoon.
How do you know Ko Mi Ran?
I happened to see the photo...
in your cell phone.
How do you know my friend?
"Friend"?
Friend, my foot.
You should go to school.
There are steps to doing that.
When do you want me to finish this?
The sooner the better.
Then should I give it to you by lunch?
Yes, that'd be great.
That will help me out a lot.
- Hello.
- Hey.
I feel like this person and
the guy I showed you earlier...
have similar stories.
These two are a married couple.
I think they'll have a lot to talk about.
They came back after
having emigrated abroad.
So I think they'll have
a lot of stories to tell.
Let's call this person as well.
From now on, if you have something
to tell me, you can write it here.
- Let's do it today.
- Okay.
And make sure the list doesn't overlap.
This guy has a lot of hobbies too.
Should contact him?
Yes.
Doesn't he seem interesting?
I'll keep a note about him.
Come to the editing room right now.
Do you really want to be
a variety show director?
Yes.
It's a bit late to have a dream,
but I seriously want to make this work.
Okay, in that case, let's turn
"Go Go 99" into a great program.
Okay.
You told me 20 years ago...
that you just want to make a living.
And you also said,
"That's what I want too."
Did I?
It seems like that was just yesterday.
Mr. Ma, why do you work as
a variety show director?
After we were born,
we have to make sure the world is
a better place than when we came.
I want people in this
world to laugh a lot more.
I want them to feel happier
today than yesterday...
and laugh a little more
after seeing my shows.
There's nothing greater than that.
I take pride because I
believe what I do is...
greater than establishing a
country with guns and swords...
or making a huge building with money.
You should make people
happier than they are today.
Your dream will begin here
with the "Go Go 99" project.
Make sure you do this right.
It'll be greater than
simply making a living.
I can never find him
when I actually need him.
How dare he take a day
off without telling me?
Professor Hwang isn't the problem.
It's Dong Ju.
She won't pick up her phone.
What if she got wasted,
fell somewhere, and died?
Just leave her alone even
if she ends up dying.
I don't care anymore.
Now she's in her 50s,
then she should be mature.
This isn't good.
I should call Dong Chan.
(The 90s)
The project looks amazing. Good luck.
- Hello?
- Dong Chan, it's me.
Yes.
Dong Ju left home.
I can't get a hold of her.
What? She left home? Has...
Has this ever happened before?
No, we always knew where she was.
But I couldn't get a hold
of her since yesterday.
Did you report it to the police?
Young Tak is a police officer.
I told him about it,
but he doesn't care, not even an inch.
An... An inch?
No, not even a little.
It's a way of expression.
He seemed fed up with her.
Let's wait until tonight.
I'm sure she'll come home.
I'll give her a good
warning when she comes in.
Goodness. Why can't she
get a hold of herself?
Okay. Let's hang up for now.
What do women in their 50s do at nights?
Why didn't she come home last night?
- Who?
- My sister.
Oh, right. I see.
I have no idea why she
lives such an odd life.
I think she hit menopause.
I totally know how that feels.
You need to give her more attention.
I know she's my sister,
but I can't be harsh on her...
whenever I see her face.
She seems like an elderly.
You can treat her like how you treat me.
You treat me harshly.
Why are you like that?
You're right. I can do it to you,
but why can't I do that to her?
My gosh.
Anyway, why did you want to see me?
It's not exactly about the show, is it?
Is Chairman Lee Seok Du of
Unsung the sponsor for...
your political career?
I guess so.
Then may I tag along next time you see him?
Really?
Yes, it would be great to get to know him.
I'll ask him to sponsor our program too.
Goodness, of course, you can come.
It seems like Chairman Lee
is greatly interested in you.
- Me?
- Yes.
He's really interested in
the cryonics experiment.
I see.
The audition is tomorrow at two o'clock.
Yes, you don't have to bring anything.
Okay, thank you.
Will anything change from
building up the wall?
We have to keep seeing each other.
I can see parts of your face
through all these things.
You wanted to keep a
distance of 0.5m between us.
Putting up these things in front
won't keep our distance at 50cm.
You were bad at math in
school, weren't you?
Do you know a thing about width,
length, 2-dimension and 3?
I thought you were talking about
the distance of our hearts.
This won't keep the distance of our hearts.
It's like elementary school students
trying to shut each other out.
I have trouble staying focused,
and I get distracted easily.
Of course, you do.
If you sit there in front of me,
I can't seem to focus on work.
Why?
I told you. I get distracted easily.
Gosh, I don't understand.
Isn't it distracting to
have these things and books?
I feel frustrated to
have my vision blocked.
Stop picking a fight. It's what I want.
Fine, this is what I want.
This is what I want.
It's not distracting at all.
Much better now.
- Great work.
- Okay.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
Something came up at home,
so I'm leaving early.
Okay.
So you should go home now too.
I'll go home alone. Don't worry about me.
I can't stop worrying or
worry about someone...
whenever I'm told to.
Let's go home. I'll drop you off.
Why do you keep changing your mind?
You're confusing me!
I told you that I'm leaving alone.
You want to keep a distance,
then you say you're worried.
How do you really feel, you jerk?
I have to organize some
materials for the audition.
You already gave me everything.
What else do you have?
Are you the type who studies
after the tests are over?
Just pretend like you don't
want to and follow me.
Let's go home.
Hurry up.
Aren't we a little too close
for you to sneak peeks of me?
I wasn't sneaking peeks.
Then why did you turn
away when our eyes met?
Are you a player?
No.
You must not realize it,
but you're absolutely a player.
You're good at turning women into fools.
Gosh. You've never seen a player before,
so how should you know what they're like?
Hello?
Mi Ran?
Yes, Ji Hoon.
I got accepted as TBO's intern.
Really? Congratulations.
I hope you and I can work on the same team.
Me too.
I miss you.
Mi Ran?
Yes. Sure.
I miss you too.
We'll get to see each
other often now, right?
We better.
Mi Ran, I'll be going
to the station tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
I should ask who it is...
to make this situation go smoothly, right?
No, you don't have to ask.
All the more reasons to ask.
Is it a man?
- Of course.
- He must be younger than you.
That's right.
- Is he handsome?
- Absolutely.
"Absolutely"?
Why would a young and handsome
man call you at this hour?
What kind of question is that?
If he's a young and handsome man,
who should he be calling at what time?
I heard that kids these days...
don't invest time on women
unless they're serious.
What do you mean?
You don't like him, do you?
Why would he call someone
that doesn't even like him...
to waste his energy on?
That's what I'm wondering.
Why do you think I don't like him?
Tell me...
why you don't think I like him.
Because you like someone else.
You're easily distracted.
How could you like two
people with a single heart?
Then...
who are you saying I like?
I'm just saying...
whatever comes to mind.
Why are you overreacting?
Are you hungry?
Yes, a little. I'm hungry.
Then go home and eat with your family.
I'll do the same.
It's because I promised my
family I'd eat with them today.
You should go in.
I didn't say anything.
I know you're mad at me
because I didn't eat with you.
You're wrong.
I know I'm right.
It's Mi Ran.
It's the cryonic man.
It's the jerk...
who's 52 only on paper.
("Go Go 99")

and turn the time around)
Nam Tae.
Yes?
Can you help me record a video?
Hey, Ma Dong Chan! Step away from my woman!
In dramas and movies,
people tend to get their memories back...
when they get a concussion.
Something dramatic like that
won't happen right now, will it?
Life isn't that easy.
Of course not. Such a thing won't happen.
By the way, if you have a doctor's degree,
what was your major?
It's confidential so I can't tell you.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
By the way, what's your relation...
with Ma Dong Chan?
Why do you hate him so much?
I won't forgive Ma Dong Chan!
I'm glad Dong Ju's safe.
Hey, did it look like she was with a man?
I think I might know the guy she's seeing.
I think it's Mr. Chu whom she
met at the center for alcoholics.
She always goes, "Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu."
She always looks for
him whenever she drinks.
Are you saying she's dating an alcoholic?
Only an alcoholic would date my sister.
Why would a normal person
without addictions date her?
Alcoholic Mr. Chu?
Is it a title of a novel
from the middle ages?
She's a crazy one.
What will we do if she
wants to get married again?
I know. That's what I worry about too.
She gets married like it's nothing...
as if it's her hobby.
Why did Dong Ju turn out this way?
What happened in the last 20 years?
I don't know what to do whenever I see her.
Uncle, take a picture of proof with me.
- A picture?
- Yes.
I told my friends that
you're the cryonic man,
but they won't believe me.
Why not?
Are you sure it's not
because you lie too much?
No. It's because the kids
are always being lied to.
They were hurt by lies.
All right.
Gosh. My cute niece.
I can already see what kind
of adult you'll become.
What kind of adult do
you think I'll become?
There's a woman I know well,
and I think you might turn out
to be like her when you grow up.
She's pretty, isn't she?
Of course she's pretty.
Maybe she's pretty only to you.
Yes, but she only needs to be pretty to me.
She's really pretty.

- Freud?
- Mi Ran.
Do you know what Freud said?
"Anatomy is destiny."
I'm so glad we rented
out the rooftop house.
Nam Tae loves that professor.
Not only is he handsome,
he's really fit.
He's also really friendly.
He always calls me "Mother".
Is our tenant a professor?
Yes.
He's not a Psychology professor
from my school, is he?
He is. How did you know?
This is driving me crazy.
Young Sun.
Yes, Mi Ran.
Hey,
I thought you should know this.
Byung Sim is at my house.
What are you talking about?
We rented out our rooftop house,
and Byung Sim moved in.
What?
Hello. I'm Mi Ran's friend, Oh Young Sun.
I can recognize you.
You're Mi Ran's friend...
Could I borrow this, Father?
Hey. Young Sun!
Hey, you fake 52-year-old.
Stay away from my woman.
Stop lurking around my woman!
Hey, Ma Dong Chan.
- What?
- Step away from my woman.
- Mr. Ma?
- You completely ruined my life!
Now, it's time for you to man
up and take responsibility!
- He messed with that guy's wife?
- How could he date a married woman?
- He's unbelievable.
- Seriously.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Come on. That guy told him
not to mess with his woman.
That obviously means Director
Ma is dating a married woman.
What is the matter with you?
Stop making stuff up...
based on that ridiculous video clip.
Why would Dong Chan date a married woman?
That's absurd.
That man sent that video clip
to our official email address.
It obviously shows that
he's holding a huge grudge.
Imagine how angry he must've
felt to do something like that.
Do you think I shouldn't have deleted it?
What are you talking about?
The chief would've gotten furious.
- You did the right thing.
- Right?
Why would I have gotten furious?
Dong Chan. Dong Chan.
Take a look at this.
Hurry.
Hey, you fake 52-year-old.
Stay away from my woman.
Who have you been seeing these days?
This guy sent this video clip
to our official email address.
I get that you've been single for 20 years.
But regardless of how desperate you may be,
you should never mess with a married woman.
("Go Go 99")
Do you really think he's
dating a married woman?
He obviously looks like a playboy.
Do you think that's why
he broke up with Chief Na?
They're apparently really
awkward around each other.
- 20 years doesn't change anything.
- I guess you're right.
Hello.
Did you take a day off yesterday...
to get a haircut?
Do you like it?
Well, it's cute.
I'll head back...
to my laboratory.
I should get my memory back.
I think that place will
help me find my memory.
My son purposely brought you here...
because it's dangerous there.
No.
I want to confront it.
I need to get my memory back...
in order to help your
son live a normal life.
Please do what you can to make that happen.
I'll do anything for you.
Why are you wearing a hat?
I'm destroying common sense.
A suit and a fedora.
Don't I look like Sirasoni?
That look doesn't suit him at all.
This is the moment I've been waiting for.
Let's fight man to man.
Go ahead and hit me. Come on! Come on!
Would you like to appear on TV?
- What?
- First of all,
unclench your fists.
Let's talk.
- A TV show?
- Yes, a TV show.
Stay away from my woman.
- Stop lurking around my woman!
- My gosh.
Listen to me, Ma Dong Chan.
I'm sorry for causing trouble.
I don't love you.
Sir.
(Here's the truth behind Ko Mi Ran,
the intern at TBO.)
I want you guys...
to announce the final participants
of the show via email.
We have a situation. Come to my office.
Okay.

Why do you keep making me look for you?
Why are you crying? It's not like you.
It's nothing to laugh about.
I'll protect you.
What do you mean by that?
I'm the person who should be responsible,
so I'll do whatever it takes to
prevent you from getting hurt.
So don't worry.
Just continue to live your life...
doing what you want.
That's all you need to do.
Mi Ran.
I'm sorry.
(Melting Me Softly)
You did nothing wrong.
Just be yourself and be confident about it.
You're pretty, so don't smile like that.
Hey, come on. Mi Ran.
- Come in.
- No, it's okay.
Who's that guy over there
who's smiling next to Mi Ran?
He's the intern that joined your team.
From now on, don't look back.
Live a life that makes you happy.
What do you think
would've happened to us...
if I had stopped you from
doing that experiment?
I have...
nowhere else to hide.
Let's just go with it.
