-Well, I... -I...
-I...
I hit you too hard.
I didn't mean to.
It's fine. I'm okay.
I didn't hit you like that on purpose.
Of course. I know.
-You're okay, right? -The kiss.
The kiss we had.
You feel the same way, right?
Yes, I do.
But...
what do we do now?
About Do-han and...
Why don't we just think about ourselves right now?
Even when I called you,
and said I liked you,
I didn't imagine it'd turn out like this.
Me either.
But I...
I feel so confused right now.
After all we went through,
we can't waste more time just worrying.
Let's just focus on each other
for one day.
Just trust me now.
YEONSEON EXPRESS BUS TERMINAL
Can we get two tickets for a bus that leaves now?
To where?
The farthest we can go.
Thank you.
Every time.
Regarding your marriage,
when you left five years ago, and when Mom passed away...
Selfish bastard.
I always kept quiet.
I felt sorry that I wasn't trustworthy.
JI-HAN
Please.
Stop thinking about yourself
and think about others getting hurt.
EPISODE 9
We're really here.
Yes, we are.
And at a great place.
Wow.
BASED ON WEDDING IMPOSSIBLE BY SONG JEONG-WON
Isn't it beautiful?
It's certainly different from staying up drinking.
You do look at things differently.
That's why I'm an actor.
Speaking of which,
how about chowing down on some hangover soup?
Hey, that's enough.
Having hangover soup at this timing?
And did you actually say "chow down"?
Not just eat?
You don't like it?
Of course I do.
I'll smile at whatever you say right now.
It feels like a dream
to be here with you.
Okay, then.
Let's keep this clear.
For the next 24 hours,
we'll focus on each other and do what we want
without worrying about other people.
We're just here as Male 1 and Female 1.
No one knows us, and we don't know anyone here. Okay?
What?
All right.
Why don't we just be strangers? That would be easier.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Lee Ji-heon.
I was hanging out nearby,
and I fell in love with you at first sight. Will you date me?
Don't you think that's too corny?
Maybe. But I'm sure my looks aren't.
Don't you want to get to know me?
I feel like it'll get quite messy, but...
But where are we going?
Let's go chow down.
You really chowed down on it.
I chow down on everything.
Keep that in mind, okay?
Was your name Neo A-jung?
Yes, Mr. Lee Ji-heon.
Want anything else?
Any meat or sundae?
We're not done yet, so I should leave some room for snacks.
You really are thorough.
By the way, you know my tastes a little too well
when we only just met.
It's really suspicious.
Suspicious?
If your ideal guy has similar tastes as yours,
that means it's fate.
I never said you're my type.
I'm always someone's type.
Am I really not?
You are.
What is this?
You said you lived in the next neighborhood.
You should dress accordingly.
What an excuse.
Having fun, are you?
Excuse?
The styling is important for expressing a character.
You can get immersed more.
Then Ji-heon,
try this on.
It would really get us immersed.
I should pick mine.
Let's see.
This one
or this one.
Which is better?
They're both pretty.
Just get both.
No, just buy everything.
-Ma'am. -Yes?
I'll buy everything over here.
Oh, no.
Can I try these on?
-Sure. -Thank you.
There's no point doing this.
You're rich to the bone.
Why don't you hold yourself back a bit?
I'll go try these on.
You look good.
You look pretty.
Let's go.
How about a hat?
It suits you.
How do I look?
Where have you been?
And why did you ignore my calls?
You're the one who told Ji-han, aren't you?
What the hell were you thinking--
You shouldn't be worrying about that.
What?
A reporter came to see me.
REAL FACT NEWS KANG IK-JUN
You told him too?
How far are you going to take this?
It depends on you.
I'll take it as far as you take it.
Jung Dae-hyeon.
You keep talking as though you're a victim. What did I ever do to you?
You feel like a victim
when you were blamed for something you didn't do.
Things like the photos or the studio electricity.
And today too.
REAL FACT NEWS KANG IK-JUN
So what do you want?
What exactly is Lee Do-han's relationship with Na A-jung?
It seems like you were quite close.
"Were"?
It's different from being close now.
Past relationships tend
to end with only hatred.
And from my experience,
people are much closer to money than people.
I'll protect your identity and compensate you,
so just help me out.
I don't want to.
Pardon?
I said no.
I said the reporter came to me, not that I told him.
I never said I did,
but you just accused me.
I can't trust you anymore.
I'm sure you brought it up
just to torment me.
Well,
it could be
to warn you.
Seriously? After all you've done?
There could be more
than just hatred left between us.
Not for me, at least.
You seem to be the one
I should be careful of the most.
Are you sure...
what you're doing is right?
Marrying someone you don't even love
because you're afraid to show yourself,
always running, worried about when your secret will be out.
Is that really right?
I just love it here.
Should we live here?
How about that big house?
I'd like that house over there.
It has a garden. We can plant flowers and vegetables.
Mister, can you help me?
Me?
What is it?
Are you hurt?
I hurt my back a while ago. But I have to carry this fertilizer.
-Oh, I see. We'll help. -Thank you.
You really don't have to do this.
This isn't hard.
Keep resting, ma'am.
You're so pretty and good at this.
I learned a lot of things, just in case.
I once dug up sweet potatoes all day just to learn farming.
That's praiseworthy.
If you're done, come and pick weeds with me.
Sure.
Let me see.
The scythe seemed old. I won't get tetanus, will I?
Don't be dramatic.
If you tell yourself the cut isn't deep, it'll heal in no time.
Maybe if you blow on it.
Happy now?
Where are you going? It still hurts.
ROOM AVAILABLE
I feel much better.
You barely did anything.
Don't you see this cut?
Did you enjoy the food?
You're an awesome cook.
We really enjoyed it.
I'm glad.
It's late. If you have nowhere to sleep,
you can stay the night here.
I'll give you a room at a cheap price.
I didn't think it'd just be one room.
It's a cliché.
This always happens.
Like when you're stuck on an island because the ship stops sailing.
There's only one room when you need a place to stay.
It's so cliché, it doesn't even surprise me.
Are you all right?
What?
Are you worried about me?
I think I should.
You look...
really anxious right now.
No, I'm not. I'm fine.
Why wouldn't I be?
We shared a room in Busan
and lived under the same roof for a few days.
So,
you didn't find out anything from that guy?
You seem to love taking things without effort.
You shouldn't.
-What is it this time? -Just look.
What is this?
While I was looking into him,
I had one of my guys follow those two.
Yes, this is what I wanted.
Clear proof.
You should've done it sooner.
I was almost disappointed in you.
You're sure about what you promised me?
The truth about your mother.
Of course.
We're looking into the witnesses and CCTV footage from the accident.
This is getting interesting.
This room's cozy and nice.
Are you asleep?
For real?
A-jung.
I'm not asleep.
So stop calling me.
I can't sleep because of you.
You keep gulping and turning left and right.
When did I do that?
You're so weird. You could've just said you weren't asleep.
Does it hurt that much?
You stopped bleeding.
It'll heal soon.
You're saying that as if it's nothing. It really hurts.
Are you always this whiny?
Only to those I want to whine to.
Then continue your whining tomorrow
and go to sleep now.
I'm exhausted after walking around all day.
Good night.
What are you doing?
You're up.
I just couldn't sleep.
Why not?
Thinking about going back tomorrow?
I wish the day was 48,
no, 72 hours long
instead of 24.
Do you like being with me that much?
Why didn't I notice
when you like me so much?
By the way,
when did you start liking me?
I mean, how did you end up liking me?
I told you.
I tried to seduce you,
but I ended up liking you instead.
I was so startled
that I actually got sick.
I did too.
I did all sorts of things
to try to forget you.
I even believed in the Deoksugung stone wall myth.
The Deoksugung stone wall?
Oh, the day of our family meeting?
The paper cranes!
The paper cranes too?
I'm right!
You really made an effort.
Then when did you start liking me?
I felt strange
at the Deoksugung stone wall.
You finally said that you'd accept Do-han and me.
But it made me feel empty.
I didn't feel happy when you were
finally accepting me.
It felt like there was a hole in my heart.
Then at the dress shop,
you held my hand and ran with me.
I yelled at you, looking angry,
but I was happy.
Do-han and I were going to get married,
but I kept feeling something else.
So I was at a loss
and didn't know what to do.
And right then,
you appeared and saved me from it all.
I was grateful.
What if
you met me before Do-han?
It would've been nice
if we'd just met as strangers
instead of Do-han's brother
and Do-han's girlfriend.
That would've been nice.
We're going to face
a lot of difficulties from now on.
It'll be tough.
But...
let's stay together.
Let's not hide
our feelings
or act.
We'll post the irregular personnel rating you've ordered tomorrow.
All right.
Did Do-han decide
to take over the company?
Well, what can he do if I force it
into his hands?
He'll do it.
And I've told him in advance.
By the way,
the new position I'm trying to give Ji-han.
What do you think?
He was in charge of LJ Shopping Mall, so he'll do a great job.
And he has a good reputation within Taeyang Group.
-Is that so? -Yes.
It must be thanks to Chae-won.
Anyway, this is the perfect time, right?
One day is so short.
Right.
It felt like a dream.
I feel so sad.
I'll talk to Do-han.
No, I should talk to him.
Well, I'm the one ending things with him.
-I should tell him. -No.
Before we tell him about us,
I have something
to talk about with him.
Besides, we didn't make up
after fighting that day.
I know it might sound ridiculous right now,
but I really care for him.
I don't want him to get hurt.
I know you feel uneasy,
but please,
trust me
and give me time.
It won't take long.
All right.
I'll wait, then.
I'll call you after I talk to him.
Okay.
-Bye, then. -After you go in.
What is all this?
I've prepared this for you, Ji-ae.
I made it myself. It's all cooked by me.
Wow, he made five boxes.
Right, but why are you giving this to me
instead of A-jung?
That had nothing to do with me. I didn't make those lunch boxes.
Right, he made all this himself for you.
Look, his face grew slimmer after all that work.
Thanks for noticing, Jong-hee.
You're so kind.
You two seem quite close, calling each other by your first names.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Is this what you mentioned last time?
Yes, it is.
I'll send you the money.
-It's 30 percent off, right? -Yes.
This is awesome.
Can you please stop eating this?
What?
It's a precious lunch box for Ji-ae.
Oh, okay.
-Got it. -Thanks.
Have this. There are lots of these.
What's with him?
Is it Jong-hee this time?
Ji-ae!
You're not even trying the food?
Just leave.
-Ji-ae. -Jeez!
Stop hanging around me!
You're so harsh.
You know how I feel.
I didn't say it directly, but you know
I like you.
Why aren't you saying it, then?
If I do, you'll reject me. Then I won't be able to
see you anymore.
But why are you being so friendly to A-jung and Jong-hee?
Jeez...
How many times do I have to tell you? A-jung has nothing to do with me,
and as for Jong-hee...
I contacted her to ask more about you.
I swear it on you.
Why would you swear that on me?
Then what else
can I do for you right now?
Don't do more for me.
Do less for others!
-What? -It makes me jealous!
I like you too!
Hey, Ji-han.
Do-han.
You weren't at home.
-Are you at the studio? -Yes, for now.
I need some time to think alone.
Things are a bit...
complicated.
Is something going on?
No.
And I think
you'd need time as well.
I'll contact you when everything's sorted out.
We can talk then.
I'm ready anytime,
so tell me when you are.
I have something
I want to tell you too.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Ji-ae's so bold.
"It makes me jealous! I like you too!"
I miss her. I should leave work early!
What's going on?
There's a post about a sudden personnel change. Did you know?
Mr. Lee is promoted to team leader?
What kind of random personnel change is this?
It is a sensational promotion, though.
Congratulations.
I knew you'd make it.
Then we're no longer on the same team?
What? You're right.
And Do-han...
BRAND STRATEGY TEAM DIRECTOR: LEE DO-HAN
You've done a great job.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, right.
Join your grandpa for a meal next time.
"Grandpa"?
Grandpa...
Did I hear...
-Did I hear that right? -"Grandpa"?
Mr. Lee.
Congratulations.
What just happened?
Well, this is what happened.
In front of everyone,
the chairman said, "Join your grandpa for a meal."
He said "grandpa."
He's announced to everyone
that you're his grandson.
-Why, though? -It's time he did.
Because you've achieved so much here.
Oh, and also because of Ms. Yoon.
I sneakily asked Mr. Kim just now,
and it seems Ms. Yoon and the chairman were still in touch.
He seemed satisfied, saying your wedding could be
earlier than your brother's.
Still playing dumb?
How cute.
So, when did you
get so far with Ms. Yoon?
You never told me.
It's not like that.
I'll get upset if you don't tell me.
-Mr. Lee. -I'll be out.
Coy Ji-han!
Stop playing dumb!
The person you are calling...
Chae-won, we need to talk.
I don't feel like it now.
It won't take long.
Fine, then.
You finally called me first.
So what is it?
Grandpa seems
to be mistaken about our relationship.
He still...
I mean,
he thinks things are going well.
So I'm going to be honest.
I like A-jung.
I'm sorry.
You're admitting it after all.
I know I told you to be honest, but now I kind of regret it.
You'll meet someone much better than me.
Someone good and someone I like are different.
Ji-han, I've never failed to get what I wanted.
It'll be the same this time.
Do you really think it would work out between you two?
What about Do-han?
And everything you've achieved? What will people think?
Can you give up everything?
Can you handle it?
Really? You really think so?
Yes, it's okay.
Would she be okay with it?
"The woman who fell in love with her brother-in-law."
That label will follow her.
He's preparing to hand over the company to Do-han.
Let's say we can take care of Do-han.
But this is...
Are you sure about Do-han?
Of course! But Ji-han's different. Did you see his eyes?
They're filled with ambition.
It's as if he's shouting "This is Sparta!" when he looks at us.
Having Ji-han in the picture
is making it way too difficult for us.
Why are you making such a fuss?
You should be making a fuss.
How are you so calm right now?
To be honest,
if you hadn't framed us and made us fight,
we wouldn't have been pushed aside by those two.
This is all your fault!
No, it's not.
It's all thanks to me.
You're still out of it.
Min-woong, stop whining and just wait quietly.
You'll see something fun.
The higher you go up,
the stronger the pain is when you fall.
No, wait.
Just pay to watch the show.
You little...
Wait. I guess you don't even have the money.
You brat...
Damn it. What do we do?
I don't know either! My head's about to explode.
Listen carefully, honey.
If we look at our situation objectively, we're doomed right now.
There's no chance of taking over LJ. We have to find a way to survive.
Honey.
You're so amazing. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling angry.
How can you still assess our situation calmly?
I feel angry too.
But at this rate, we won't get anything.
The thought of living humbly when we're old
was a wake-up call for me.
The best we can do right now
is to unify a candidate.
Seung-a or Do-han and Ji-han.
We have to decide which side to support to gain something in return.
We're never supporting Seung-a.
I'll never take that traitor's side, no matter what.
Right, I agree.
She's all talk and no action. I can't trust her anymore.
But Do-han and Ji-han won't just let us join them.
I have my ways.
What is it?
He must be a bit late.
I can't accept this marriage!
That's total nonsense.
-Change the channel. -This isn't drama.
-It's pure chaos. -Why? What is it?
Come with me.
Whatever the circumstances,
how could they fall in love when they are in-laws?
What's wrong? Do you need water?
I'm fine.
Keep watching.
I love him.
It must be painful for them too.
I mean, she betrayed her husband,
and he betrayed his brother.
How will they cope with the guilt?
There's nothing that they can say to justify what they did.
Of course.
They could still have something to say.
I mean, there could be
some sort of story behind it,
and some relationships
could actually be very legal and ethical
and moral and stuff.
What?
Why are you suddenly talking nonsense
while eating?
By the way, where were you all day yesterday?
Isn't it obvious?
She must've met Do-han.
They live apart now, so they must have
missed each other.
It's not that.
You should finish your meal!
She hardly ate again.
If it weren't for Do-han's secret,
I'd tell them it's fake.
Over here!
What?
Hey.
I can't believe him.
You're crazy. My family could've seen you.
I didn't know you talked to Do-han already.
Did it go well?
It didn't?
It's not that.
I just came because I wanted to see you.
-You're lying. -I mean it.
Seriously.
It's not because of Do-han.
We decided to talk later.
Then what is it?
I can tell something's up.
I finally
got acknowledged as Grandpa's grandson.
And Do-han's going to take over the company soon.
That's what you wanted all along.
Yes, it is.
It is what I wanted,
but I'm not so excited.
Because of me?
Right.
You can't be happy.
If you date me, you'll lose everything
and you'll get scorned by everyone.
It's not because of that.
If I can be with you,
I think I can give up everything.
No,
I know I can.
I can do it,
but maybe not you.
So I wanted to ask.
Will you really be okay
even if that happens?
I'm already prepared for it.
All right.
Then it's fine.
It must be painful for them too.
I mean, she betrayed her husband,
and he betrayed his brother.
How will they cope with the guilt?
But Ji-han...
I mean...
I'm really okay.
The worst that can happen is getting kicked out.
Then I'll have an excuse to live with you. That sounds great.
But still...
Is this funny to you?
It's not funny,
but I want you to smile.
How can I?
Still, don't cry. I didn't say this to make you cry.
I just wanted
to be honest with you.
We promised not to have secrets or lie.
Tell me everything
honestly from now on.
Why couldn't I get in touch with you?
Were you ignoring my calls?
Like I ignore yours?
What brought you here?
I wouldn't have come just to say hi.
No news is good news.
But you've brought news,
so it can't be good.
Right.
You understand me better than Min-woong.
It's such a shame.
You should've been born into our family.
I'm busy. Get to the point.
Even if you're not, I wouldn't want to stay.
You heard about the personnel change?
Congrats, and...
And?
I offer my condolences.
Something interesting's going to happen soon.
I wanted to tell you in advance.
I just couldn't hold myself back from talking.
What could it be?
Here.
What's this?
I came here to see this reaction.
What is this?
I guess you can't even guess what it is.
Look at the photo below that first, then.
Here.
They're entering a hotel together,
and she's running with him in her wedding dress.
It must be tough, Do-han.
But
this is your brother.
You brothers are really unbelievable in many ways.
A-jung.
We need to talk.
Right.
Let's be honest.
So why did you want to talk to me?
Come on, we're closer than this.
We have time. Let's catch up a bit first.
But I have nothing to ask you.
I don't think you should have time.
-Shouldn't you be busy? -What?
People are talking about how you were abandoned by the chairman.
There's been a small misunderstanding,
so I just took a step back.
Because I'm generous, right?
I don't think so.
I heard you were out of the picture entirely.
Who said that? Seung-a?
That little bitch!
You're right, Chae-won.
We know it too.
We also know you don't like us much.
It's true we were hostile toward Do-han and Ji-han until now.
-And? -But...
we're on the same side now.
Min-woong and I decided to let go of our greed
and stand on Do-han and Ji-han's side.
We're going to be a family soon.
That's right.
And family
is about helping each other out.
The three of us can all help each other.
Helping each other?
Then it's clear what I can do for you two.
Helping you get at least one subsidiary, right?
You're smart!
But how can you two help me?
We can, of course.
We will become a family,
but it's in the future tense.
It hasn't happened yet. And we're part of that family.
Right.
There's a limit to the info you can get about our family.
We'll give you that info.
Well, there isn't much I want to know--
Seung-a!
Seung-a
is planning something against Ji-han.
Where are your manners?
The one who has more to lose should show manners.
-What? -Do I seem easy to you?
You're still close with that reporter.
Didn't I clearly warn you last time?
I get it now.
This is about Ji-han and A-jung, isn't it?
You know, but you're smiling.
Why would I not?
You should've listened to me.
I even showed you the photo.
Or do you still not believe me?
I have more obvious pictures.
-Seung-a. -Yes?
Maybe I should
show you how Taeyang will react if that scandal gets out.
Will anyone turn against Taeyang to take your side?
I think they'll kick you out of LJ first, at least.
Let's not get dirty.
End things here.
It'll get messy for both of us.
Bye, then.
Bye.
Do-han's not home again.
He should still sleep here even if we don't talk yet.
Things are a bit...
complicated.
No way...
I'm glad you called.
I had something to tell you too.
Something to tell me?
What is it?
Why don't we tell Ji-han
that this is a fake marriage?
Why?
Well, I--
Because you like him?
What?
So it's true.
Even after seeing the photos, I didn't want to believe it.
Do-han.
I'm sorry, Do-han.
I know I shouldn't do this to you.
I do, so I tried to hold myself back,
but I just couldn't.
Since when?
Was that after Ji-han found out I'm gay?
What?
Ji-han knows what?
Then you two started...
seeing each other when he didn't even know
that this was fake?
What?
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
"Fake"?
Ji...
Ji-han.
Lee Ji-han!
I...
I can't trust you anymore.
Why aren't you picking up? Why are you avoiding me?
How could you cheat on him before the wedding?
And with your brother-in-law?
I still care about him.
I'm going to protect him.
If you care about them,
you shouldn't just sit and watch.
The press conference is ready.
I won't run away this time.
I'm going to protect Ji-han
and myself.
