Ms. Wi!
Hello.
What brings you here?
Oh, I had some business to handle.
If you're done eating, would you like to have tea with me?
I…
Shall we?
I'll join.
Me too.
I'll join too.
Let's sit over here.
Here you go.
The weather is so nice today.
-What would you like to drink? -I'll have an iced Americano.
I'll have a hot Americano.
And you, Mr. Lee?
He'll have peppermint tea.
You don't drink coffee in the afternoon, right?
Yes, I'll have a peppermint tea.
Okay.
I'll go and order.
-No, I'll do it. -I will.
She'd feel uncomfortable if her boss tagged along.
-Go, now. -Right.
I'll go instead.
Wait.
I'd feel uncomfortable with an actor too.
I'll go by myself.
I gave you the chance on a silver platter. What more can I do for you?
But she said going with an actor would be just as uncomfortable.
Go now.
Okay.
-Be careful. -Thank you so much.
Here's your peppermint tea, Mr. Lee.
Me first?
Thank you.
The weather sure is nice.
You've said that so many times.
These flowers are called anemones.
I heard they symbolize hopeless love.
And they smell…
enchantingly sweet.
So sweet.
How do you know such things?
Because Kang Pil-gu likes flowers.
You really must be a fan to know that about him.
Chief.
So please take good care of Ms. Wi.
Of course.
I'll take good care of Ms. Wi.
Didn't you win the Korean Journalist of the Year award?
I'm sure you'll be fine without anyone's help.
-Right? -Yes, of course.
Onion!
Chief, do you use Onion too?
Of course. It's a must if you have kids.
You need it to buy and sell barely used book sets or toys.
What is this "Onion"?
I've used Onion before.
Ms. Wi, have you used it before?
I use it pretty often.
What did you buy most recently?
Well, I got a TV for free
-and bought a few necessities. -I see.
So what exactly is Onion?
It's a secondhand selling app.
Like an online flea market.
I see.
You wouldn't know since you were born with a silver spoon.
There are all sorts of apps out there.
I hear people meet each other through dating apps too.
Some meet on apps, go on dates, and even get married.
Think of it as having
a pen pal but in modern times.
Some of them are jerks
who hide behind their screens and toy with your emotions.
Tons of people do that even after meeting in person.
Imagine how much worse it is online.
You shouldn't even think about meeting people anonymously.
You're right.
I agree.
I disagree. Weird people exist everywhere.
It's a leap to assume people like that exist only on apps.
Don't you think some of those people
have reasons they're unable to share?
Right?
Right.
I assume married people who sign up and pretend to be single
wouldn't be able to share their stories.
No, even on those apps,
it's possible for people
to really like someone.
Don't you agree?
-Move already. -No, you go.
Why do I have to go?
Hey, it's Kang Pil-gu.
-It's Kang Pil-gu! -Let's get a photo.
-Sorry, sir. -Can we get a photo?
-Sure, come here. -I'm a big fan.
I love your show.
-Can I get an autograph too? -Okay.
We need a record of this historical moment.
One, two, three.
What a great photo.
Ms. Wi,
if you're going back to the office, why don't you ride with me?
-I… -Don't you have business in Gangnam?
Yes.
I'm going back to the office, so I'll take your ride.
Well, I'm going to Gangnam,
so I'll take you there.
No, that's okay.
-It's okay. -No, thank you.
No, I'm fine.
EPISODE 11
Why are you driving yourself?
I didn't think you'd want to
get behind the wheel again.
I can't quit driving just because I was in an accident.
Yes, you can.
I'll drive for you.
Lim Hyeon-jun and Wi Jeong-sin
look quite good together, right?
Are you saying the person Ms. Wi likes
is Lim Hyeon-jun?
I didn't look into it that far,
but I can ask her.
Forget it.
Don't bother asking her.
Why does Mr. Lee keep coming on to you?
Come on to me?
Why would you disrespect his feelings like that?
Are you taking his side?
I'm not taking his side.
You could've just said, "I think he likes you."
Did he say he liked you?
Did he confess his feelings or something?
Don't get carried away.
So he did. I can tell that he did.
So did you return his feelings?
What's the matter with you?
Mr. Lim Hyeon-jun, do you like me?
I like someone else.
And I'm still not over him.
There's another guy?
What do you mean "another"?
Wow, you sure are a complicated woman.
So complicated.
What are you talking about?
So where are you going?
Why did you get out?
What?
People are recognizing you. Get back in.
If they recognize me, then so be it. Who cares?
Are you worried a rumor might break out?
I never said that.
If a rumor spreads, then be it.
Can't I even date at my age?
But we're not dating!
Anyway, who are you meeting today?
An actor? Or a singer?
If it's an actor, I can help you out.
It's not an actor.
Anyway, thank you for the ride. Goodbye.
Wait.
Ms. Wi…
Jeez.
-I'm a huge fan! -Me too!
This is amazing!
-Thank you! -Thank you!
-We love you! -We love you!
-Love you! -Thank you!
I'll get a 15 cm Italian BMT
-with the recommended combo. -Sure.
By the way, is the owner here?
She stepped out for a minute.
I see. Thank you.
I already ate, but I can still eat this.
This is good.
Hello.
This sandwich is good.
That's good to hear. So what brings you here?
I came to ask you something.
I recall Mr. Woo Young-suk's parents had passed away,
but he did have a living older brother.
-Yes, that's right. -Do you still keep in touch?
No, hardly.
We only speak when it's nearing my husband's memorial day.
But he really supported us whenever things were looking tough.
It sounds like the brother's well-off.
We started out in similar financial situations,
but his restaurant business took off, and he's doing well now.
I haven't been there myself, though.
Do you happen to know where his restaurant is?
He owns a place like this in Gangnam?
Hello.
I have a quick question.
About that Cheongdam restaurant building near the intersection.
How much is it worth?
-The building with the clock? -Yes.
It's worth about 40 billion won, at the very least.
Did you say 40 billion won?
Yes.
REQUEST TO VIEW PROPERTY REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE
REVIEW REQUESTED CERTIFICATE
What?
MORTGAGE REGISTRATION
MORTGAGE LISTED AS ITEM 3 RELEASED
He bought the building entirely in cash,
without taking out any loans.
LEE DAE-HO, THE ENTERTAINMENT GIANT
You probably didn't know since you were new to the political desk,
but there was a rumor at the time
that Assemblyman Ha received land from Lee Dae-ho under a borrowed name.
So Lee Dae-ho bought land under a borrowed name for Assemblyman Ha,
but Ha Gee-wan doesn't have any assets under his own name.
His aide at the time died,
and the aide's older brother suddenly became filthy rich.
What's going on?
-Mr. Lim? -Huh?
Oh, Director Bak.
Where are you coming from?
Open the door.
What brings you to my studio at this hour?
Nothing much.
I was in the neighborhood, so I just stopped by.
Would you like some tea?
No, I'm okay.
You see, I was wondering…
if you could revise the part about Kang Pil-gu becoming corrupt
just a tiny bit?
Have you read episodes nine and ten?
Right, episodes nine and ten.
Those were fun. You did a great job writing.
-Good work, so-- -That's good to hear.
Two more episodes to go, and then it'll be over.
Well, before it ends…
Oh, right.
You know the date's been set for our production press conference, right?
Oh, the date's been set for the production press conference?
The production press conference?
Yes.
Wait, are you going?
What?
I'm the director, so of course I'll be going.
Come on, think about it!
Every entertainment reporter will be there!
We can't tell them not to come! What are we going to do?
Of course, the reporters will…
Ms. Wi Jeong-sin!
That's right! Man, what do we do?
-Then… -Melomaster!
-Yes. -Yes.
Oh, right.
-Yes. -I have a question, Melomaster.
Who's the real Melomaster?
No!
Mr. Lim, what should we do? We need to come up with a plan.
Of course, we need a plan!
Hurry and think of something.
I've got an idea!
How about we hold the production press conference
online instead?
Hey, that's a good idea.
Right, as if people won't still see my face.
Reporters will be watching and writing articles in real time.
That won't work then.
How about this?
You can disguise yourself as an old man like last time.
Great idea!
I can't do that, Mr. Hwang.
That's not something anyone should do twice!
Then what are we supposed to do?
Byeong-gi, you're a writer.
I'm sure you can come up with a brilliant idea.
Just think of something!
It's hard enough writing scripts.
Why should I have to worry about this on top of everything else?
How did I get caught up in this mess?
Byeong-gi, you can do this.
Just squeeze something out.
How about a twin concept?
What?
I told her my name was Bak Jun-gi that night at the N Seoul Tower.
Bak Byeong-gi and Bak Jun-gi.
If I get caught, I'll tell her that he's my twin brother.
That sounds like a plan, right?
Hey, Director Bak!
You're a damn genius!
-Right? -Yes!
This is it!
Hey!
If you do that, you two will end up on the news.
How will you deal with the aftermath?
She's a reporter.
If you mess with her, she'll destroy you!
He's got a point there.
Yes, he does. I think I lost my mind for a second.
It won't work, Mr. Lim.
Then what are we supposed to do?
Director Bak.
What is it?
At first glance,
fame might appear to be a good thing,
but once your face becomes known,
your private life is over.
You know what I mean, Director Bak.
I can't enjoy a meal in peace when I'm out.
What does that have to do with the production press release?
I'm just saying
that it's best to be rich and not be famous.
Stop beating around the bush and just say it.
You don't want him to attend the press conference.
No, that's not it.
I'm just saying that instead of being somewhat famous,
keeping a mysterious image
and remaining a veiled, genius director
may be an option for you.
Mr. Lim, you're so selfish.
Are you trying to block my career because of your love life?
I don't want to be forced to stay an unveiled director.
Who said anything about blocking your career?
You got it all wrong.
Wait.
What if we don't hold a production press conference at all?
Huh?
I pray that we don't.
Why do we have to do it in the first place?
There's nothing wrong with not doing it.
These flowers are called anemones.
I heard they symbolize hopeless love.
And they smell enchantingly sweet.
Why am I here?
What?
What the heck was that dream?
What was that about?
That was so weird.
Mr. Lim Hyeon-jun, do you like me?
I'll take good care of Ms. Wi.
Are you worried a rumor might break out?
If a rumor spreads, then be it.
Can't I even date at my age?
And they smell enchantingly sweet.
I'm late.
Gosh, this is a pretty hearty lunch.
There's chicken, rice, and salad.
It's pretty well-rounded.
This is good.
Yes, I'll be a bit more careful.
All right, goodbye.
How much longer do I have to put up with this?
What is it?
I wrote about the markup on idol photo cards,
and got told off for ruining the idol singer's image.
It's their gimmick that ruined their public image, not me.
At least the PR team says it nicely.
I recently wrote an article about a drama
and got tons of hateful messages from the actors' fans,
filled with nasty swear words.
Getting cursed at is part of being an entertainment reporter.
Getting cursed at is one thing.
But when I write about a celebrity scandal or suicide,
I'm shocked at how I write it up like it's not a big deal.
Well, if it's that difficult for you,
you could move to a different department or media outlet.
Why stay here?
I loved watching movies and dramas since I was a kid.
Enjoying good media content as a viewer
isn't the same as stepping into that world as a reporter.
And it may seem like we only write gossip pieces,
but there are celebrities who reach out to thank us.
Gratitude like that is what keeps us going.
I could ask you the same question.
I thought you'd leave at the first chance.
Well, I…
I'm not sure.
What did you say?
What I'm saying is,
instead of sending Ms. Wi to the Kang Pil-gu press conference,
would you mind sending a different reporter?
You called me all this way just to ask me that?
Circumstances came up, you see.
When you ask a favor,
you should explain the circumstances first.
Why are you so uptight?
Consider how serious things must be
for me, Lim Hyeon-jun, to ask you this favor in person.
There's no need to get emotional.
Just explain it
so that it makes sense to me.
Well, something happened.
It's too complicated…
It's too complicated to explain.
The truth is…
This seems good enough to submit.
Nice. Thank you.
I hear you're doing an amazing job here at the entertainment desk.
Word has gotten around.
I'm pretty exceptional, after all.
So what brings you here all of a sudden?
You're not here to ask me to return to the political desk,
are you?
Actually, you're right.
Really? I'm returning to the political desk?
Yes.
But first,
you need to destroy all the videos you have,
as if they never existed.
You did what?
-Onion. -Onion!
Oh, that Onion.
Yes.
So the secondhand selling app you said you've used before…
Yes, that's right.
I sold a rice cooker to Ms. Wi.
Then the reason why Ms. Wi looked strangely excited that day--
Yes. She came out to meet me,
but I'm not the one she met.
I had someone else go in my place.
I can't believe you did that on Onion.
Oh, gosh.
Seriously?
Mr. Lim, it's a shame to hear about your predicament,
but there's no way around it.
Regardless of whether Ms. Wi attends the press conference,
she'll see the photos taken there.
Then what am I supposed to do?
You and I agreed to team up,
so you should suggest a solution in a crisis like this.
Imagine if Ms. Wi finds out I lied to her.
Knowing her personality, she won't stand for it.
She'll swear never to see me again.
If you get caught trying to cover up this situation,
it'll make things worse.
Just tell her the truth.
Why are you saying things that don't help at all?
That's not a solution!
I want to
stay at Sports Eunseong a bit longer.
You're turning down the investigative journalism team?
But why?
Don't tell me you're still pursuing that case.
No, it's not that.
The entertainment desk has grown on me, and it's been rewarding.
Rewarding? Listen, you punk.
They make you write up 30 to 40 articles a day here.
Well, sometimes I get a dose of reality.
But even if it's an article that'll be forgotten overnight,
there are readers out there
who still want it and enjoy it.
More than that, I feel more at peace than I did at the political desk.
So I'll stick around a little longer.
I appreciate the offer you made.
I'm sorry, Chief.
-Yes? -Hello, sir. It's me.
I don't think we can get Ms. Wi to return.
Why? Did she refuse the offer?
Yes, sir.
My apologies, sir.
I trust you'll take care of that reporter.
Stop her from causing more trouble.
Yes, sir. Goodbye.
I'm going to lose my mind.
What if I end up taking the hit from all this?
Wi Jeong-sin, that punk!
These clothes aren't really my style.
Let's check out that place.
-That one? -Yeah.
PRICE: 1,860,000 WON
One million eight hundred…
Jeong-sin, it's way too expensive here.
Let's go somewhere else.
Hey, don't be a chicken and just choose one.
Look at the price of this before telling me not to chicken out.
Choose one while I'm offering. This is a rare opportunity.
Then can I get this?
-This one? -Yes.
Let's take a look.
-It looks nice. -And it's the perfect size.
I knew you wanted it.
Do you offer a 12-month payment plan?
Yes.
Thanks for this.
You probably spent about a month's paycheck.
Are you sure this is okay?
Of course. That's why I got it for you.
You always nag me whenever I spend money.
Why splurge today?
It's not like I didn't want to get you
nice clothes and shoes at a place like this.
We have no parents or relatives who would give us money.
I don't want to ask anyone for help,
so I just have to cut back a bit.
Be good to me, you brat!
Yes, ma'am.
Here, have a drink.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
It seems like only yesterday that you were a kid.
Now look at us, drinking together. How touching.
Jeez, stop being so dramatic.
Hey, do you remember how I was a high school senior
when you started elementary school?
You'll never imagine how hectic it was for me.
Yet I still got into Hankuk University. Aren't you proud of your big sister?
Wow, you never fail to turn things into a brag about yourself.
Oh, right.
-The press conference is tomorrow, right? -Yeah.
Are you attending?
No, I'm not part of that.
I wonder when I'll get to attend.
Learn from me and work hard.
Your day will come then.
Sure.
By the way, is it over with that guy you were flirting with?
What are you talking about?
Remember the bro at work who handed you the gimbap?
Why do you call every guy "bro"?
He's the president of our company!
The president?
That young, handsome guy is the president?
Holy cow.
You must be lucky with guys.
Jeong-sin, make things work this time.
That bro is definitely into you.
I'm positive.
It's not like that. Just eat!
Why do you always hit me?
Doesn't that mean I have a chance?
Forget about that guy already and come to me.
I'm right here in front of you.
I've always been here for you.
And I'm still waiting for you.
Seeing that you asked me out for tea,
I'm getting a bad feeling.
I wanted to return the umbrella you lent me.
I used this as an excuse to see you,
but I actually need to tell you something.
Mr. Lee, I can't return your feelings.
I expected as much on my way here.
I'm sorry.
I think you should take a moment…
to think about how you really feel.
Was it really me you liked?
Or was it someone
I reminded you of?
I think you should take a moment to think about how you really feel.
Was it really me you liked?
Or was it someone
I reminded you of?
I always felt like
you were looking for someone else in me.
At the end of your gaze,
it was always the chief.
As if…
she were a child
you left behind and couldn't forget.
Mr. Lim, it's a shame to hear about your predicament,
but there's no way around it.
Regardless of whether Ms. Wi attends the press conference,
she'll see the photos taken there.
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU 5
PRODUCTION PRESS CONFERENCE
GOOD DETECTIVE KANG PIL-GU 5
FACING THE ABYSS AT JUSTICE'S EDGE… WILL IT BE CORRUPTION OR COVER-UP?
WE WILL FOREVER SUPPORT ACTOR LIM HYEON-JUN
Bro!
She's here. Ms. Wi is here!
We're in so much trouble!
I told her so many times not to send Ms. Wi!
Now isn't the time for this. You can't give up.
Bro, you can't have another panic attack.
Seriously, why isn't another panic attack coming?
That came out wrong.
Seriously, why isn't Byeong-gi coming?
What are we going to do?
Hello.
-Hey, Director Bak! -Byeong-gi!
Ms. Wi is here!
What should we do?
I'm dressed totally differently from when I met Ms. Wi that day.
Will that be enough?
Yes!
She didn't suspect anything when I met her,
which means she's not observant.
-But… -As if she'll fall for this.
Director Bak, what's wrong?
I'm okay.
Mr. Lim, we have to get going now.
I'm about to lose it.
What are we going to do?
What else can we do? Let's go.
-Seriously, I can't deal with this! -Oh, man.
Hey, this is a great idea!
Gosh.
-Byeong-gi? -Director Bak!
He's breaking out in a cold sweat.
Hey, what's wrong?
-Where does it hurt? -I can't…
All right, it's time for the photocall.
"They say you can't fix people."
"But I do."
No one delivers this line better than the actor himself.
First up is the star of Good Detective Kang Pil-gu,
actor Lim Hyeon-jun!
Please come to the stage.
Hello.
-Please look over here! -Over here!
Thank you for coming.
Wow, cameras are flashing everywhere.
Mr. Lim, you look amazing today.
Keep looking amazing, and please look straight ahead.
Now look to the left and right.
Mr. Lim, can you lift up your hand more and make a heart for us?
Sure.
Very nice.
-Great! -Look here, please!
We'll see lots of great shots from today.
-Over here, please! -Please look over here!
-Look this way! -Now a heart with your right hand, please.
-Please look here! -Over here too!
Very nice!
Wow, he's the best at fan service.
That was great. Thank you.
Now, could you wait to the side for a moment?
We'll continue the photocall with the beautiful Ms. Gwon Se-na,
who has joined the cast for season five.
Ms. Gwon Se-na, please come out.
Please look over here!
You look beautiful!
Look at all these camera flashes!
Please make a heart with your hands!
-Make a heart, please! -Look over here!
Let's try some different poses, please.
She has the most charming smile.
Please direct your gaze at the cameras.
She's making all sorts of hearts for us.
This is it for individual photos.
Next, we'll move on to the joint photocall.
Okay.
Make sure you get a good shot. Zoom in.
-Stand closer together, please! -Closer together!
You're standing a little too far apart. Please move closer together.
-Shall we? -Yes, please.
Look here, please!
How about making a heart with your hands?
Here's a heart.
A heart!
A heart.
I think we'd like to see more fun hearts.
It's a heart!
A heart!
-A heart! -A heart.
Here's a heart.
"LIM HYEON-JUN, A WARM SMILE BEHIND THE COLD EYES"
I've never seen a heart like that.
-Over here, please! -To the right!
"LIM HYEON-JUN REJECTS GWON SE-NA'S HEART HEARTS ARE DIY"
Thank you so much!
Let me begin by asking the reporters for their understanding.
Director Bak Byeong-gi, who was scheduled to attend today,
was unfortunately unable to join us due to health reasons.
We appreciate your understanding.
-He got severe indigestion. -I see.
Let's change the subject
-and continue by interviewing the actors. -Yes.
I see a lot of reporters are here today.
Please raise your hand if you have a question,
and the actors will answer it.
Please pass the mic to the one in the sky blue shirt.
Ms. Gwon Se-na, what can we look forward to
in season five of Good Detective Kang Pil-gu?
Well, unlike Pil-gu,
I-su relies on solid evidence when conducting investigations,
so they're always at odds.
I think their teamwork and chemistry when solving cases together
is something to look forward to.
We look forward to seeing that chemistry.
What sets season five apart
from the previous seasons of Kang Pil-gu?
In this season,
you'll witness Pil-gu's downfall as a corrupt detective
and the tormented human side of Kang Pil-gu.
Make sure to tune into the drama to check out these parts.
I have a question for Mr. Lim.
I heard you opened
the Kang Pil-gu 5 set exclusively for Sports Eunseong.
-Is this true? -Is that true?
Seriously? Why only Sports Eunseong?
That's so unfair.
We're reporters too.
No, of course not.
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
What happened was that we had planned to give
each media outlet individual access to our set.
Right.
-That's right. -So we decided to draw straws.
And Sports Eunseong happened to be picked first.
Man, Sports Eunseong is so lucky.
We plan to invite every reporter on set
before we finish shooting the drama,
so we'd appreciate it if you could wait a bit longer.
So they were going to invite everyone.
Yes.
Yes, please be patient. Meanwhile, we'll take more questions.
The reporter in the back?
I have a question for both Mr. Lim and Ms. Gwon.
Is there a romantic storyline between you two in season five?
-No, there isn't-- -Keep an eye out for it!
I'm assuming there's nothing in the beginning,
but it develops later on?
-No-- -Many viewers
have been curious about Kang Pil-gu's romantic side.
The writer is working on a script that will meet everyone's expectations,
so you can look forward to it.
Do we finally get to see Kang Pil-gu in a relationship, then?
Well…
Yes, Reporter Wi Jeong-sin from Sports Eunseong!
-Me? -Yes.
You held your hand up like this.
What's your question?
Well,
I'm less interested in Kang Pil-gu's romantic storyline.
Rather, I'd like to hear how you portrayed both the righteous Kang Pil-gu
and the corrupt detective Kang Pil-gu, a character who is both good and evil.
I would like to ask about the effort it took to play that duality.
Thank you.
As I said before,
you'll be able to witness
the tormented human side of Kang Pil-gu.
Hello?
Hello, Ms. Wi Jeong-sin.
Hello, Mr. Kim Dong-jun.
How are you doing?
I'm calling to give you an exclusive.
An exclusive?
I'm working on a new project.
I said you'd be the first person I'd contact, remember?
So, this is you keeping your promise?
Thank you so much.
I look forward to the exclusive interview.
Of course. I'm an expert at interviewing.
Right.
My manager will get in touch with you about the time and location.
Thank you. I'll be waiting, then.
Goodbye.
So we can't avoid the surge in production costs,
but a transparent revenue structure could resolve this.
Sounds good.
Chief, the next agenda is…
Just a moment.
Yes, hello.
Excuse me?
How badly is he hurt?
Which hospital?
Yes.
Damn it.
Let's take my car.
You can't drive in this state.
What's your kid's name?
Jae-ha.
Yun Jae-ha.
I think you should take a moment to think about how you really feel.
At the end of your gaze,
it was always the chief.
Yes?
Goodness, Director Bak.
You must've been under a lot of stress.
What did the doctor say?
It's just stomach cramps and exhaustion.
I'm getting IV fluids and taking the day off.
-Oh, man. -How'd the production press conference go?
Yes, thanks to you… No, that's not what I mean.
It went well enough.
-I guess it was thanks to me. -Come on.
Thanks to my timely collapse,
you escaped a crisis.
Come on, don't say that. You're making me feel bad.
Mr. Lim.
Yes? What is it?
I can't keep hiding like this.
Yeah, I know.
Today, we got lucky…
I don't know if "lucky" is even the right word.
In any case, we got through today because I collapsed.
But there's no guarantee we won't get caught later.
My face could get on the behind-the-scenes footage.
I agree with you.
I wasn't sure if I should tell you this,
but I think it's best that you know.
What is it?
The truth is, Ms. Wi…
Yes?
I don't think she likes the real you.
What?
To tell you the truth, she told me something the night I met her.
The one I fell for
was Detective Kang Pil-gu, driven by justice,
not the actor Lim Hyeon-jun.
Not Lim Hyeon-jun, but Kang Pil-gu.
She said she only likes Kang Pil-gu,
the character I created.
No…
No, that's not possible.
You've been under a lot of stress because people see you and Kang Pil-gu
as the same person.
I think Ms. Wi was confused for a moment too.
She liked Kang Pil-gu as a fan,
but she liked Melomaster in a romantic way.
That's what I think.
Then what about me?
She only liked Kang Pil-gu…
and Melomaster from Onion?
She never had feelings for Lim Hyeon-jun?
It may be hard to accept,
but that's how it seems.
Do you like Lim Hyeon-jun?
Yes, I do.
It's the first time in my life.
I've never liked someone…
so unconditionally.
He was really cool, of course.
He's manly,
yet still has that boyish charm.
You can be old and still be cool.
Everyone has their own kind of charm that suits their age.
I think Ms. Wi was confused for a moment too.
She liked Kang Pil-gu as a fan,
but she liked Melomaster in a romantic way.
That's what I think.
That's not true!
Wi Jeong-sin definitely liked the real me!
Without a doubt.
It's ridiculous to cater to every tantrum
of a middle-aged man acting like a diva!
The second you think you're special, that's when trouble starts.
I can destroy you with nothing more than my writing.
I don't want…
your apology.
Was I wrong?
I like someone else.
And I'm still not over him.
I don't know.
-Hey, Su-ji. -Yes?
What is it that women want?
It's so complicated.
Sure. I'll play the song you requested.
What are you saying?
"NASTY MAN"
YOU MADE ME CRY LIKE SAD MUSIC AND LEFT ME FOR A FARAWAY PLACE
The lyrics are just spot on.
IS IT REGRET THAT LEFT BRUISES ON MY HEART?
YOU ONLY GAVE ME PAIN AND LEFT ME
I GAVE YOU MY HEART, MY LOVE, MY ALL
BUT NOW YOU'RE LEAVING, LIKE A STRANGER
Take the pain of goodbye with you
Oh
You heartless one

HEATEN SMART CHEF PRESSURE RICE COOKER
Why is she selling this?
This looks good.
Onion!
HEARTLESS LOVE
Is the rice cooker still available?
Onion!
Yes, it is.
Does the rice cooker…
Does the rice cooker work well?
Yes, it works fine.
If you don't mind me asking,
if it works fine,
why are you selling it?
Why does it matter?
What kind of question is that?
We're a family of two, so the rice cooker is too big for us.
It's not a good fit for our home.
"It's not a good fit"?
It's not a good fit for your home?
Still, isn't it better to have
a nice, big one?
Seriously? Then why don't you buy it?
Okay.
For a quick and easy deal, I'll give you a 10,000 won discount.
Thank you.
Could I pick it up tomorrow evening?
Yes, that's fine.
Are you okay with a doorstep pickup?
No, I'm not.
I want to buy it in person.
Man, what a hassle.
Could you let me know a time and place that works for you?
I think Ms. Wi was confused for a moment too.
She liked Kang Pil-gu as a fan,
but she liked Melomaster in a romantic way.
-That's what I think. -Mr. Lim.
-Yeah? -We need to get ready.
Right.
Okay.
-Hey, Su-ji. -Yes?
I'm heading out.
Be safe.
What's my horoscope for today?
Your horoscope says you should have a smooth day overall.
However, unexpected events may arise,
so it would be best to handle them calmly.
Right, calmly.
I can't keep hiding like this.
Just tell her the truth.
-Hey, Su-ji. -Yes?
Can you give me some words of encouragement?
No one can predict the outcome,
but you won't leave any regrets as long as you try your best.
Jeez, more pointless remarks.
Still, I feel encouraged.
Thank you for the compliment.
Mr. Lim Hyeon-jun, do you like me?
Goodbye, bro.
We didn't even use it much, so why are you selling it?
It's too big.
We don't need such a big rice cooker.
It's not like we cook at home a lot.
Then why'd you even buy it?
Well, I guess I wasn't thinking straight!
Hey.
Can you wear the sneakers your ex-girlfriend bought for you?
Yeah, of course. The sneakers aren't to blame.
But how?
You'd be reminded of her every time you wear them.
It's human nature to forget.
It's hard at first, but it fades away after a while.
Bad feelings are temporary,
but objects last forever.
You're only smart in situations like this.
-Out of my way! -Sure.
It's raining. Want me to go instead?
Forget it.
What's taking them so long? It's still raining.
SEONGIL STATION
I'm here. Are you running late?
-Soulishere? -What?
What's happening?
-For Onion, right? -What?
You came to sell the rice cooker.
Wait, how did you know?
-Why are you selling it anyway? -What?
Are you getting rid of it
because things didn't work out with Melomaster?
You have no idea what's going on, do you?
It was me,
Melomaster.
I was Melomaster,
and Melomaster
was me.
You asked me if I liked you.
Yes.
I like you.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OH YEON-SEO FOR HER APPEARANCE
How could something like this happen?
How can this all be a coincidence?
Take your time to think about it.
I can wait as long as you need.
I've never felt like such an idiot in my life.
From now on, I'll message you instead of using the Onion app.
Sweet dreams.
I like you.
I'm so pissed that I got fooled,
but I can't stop thinking about him!
