——-dramamilk.com——-

#1

Miran goes to the rooftop and sees Ha-young and Dong-chan in an emotional embrace. She quickly hides and then hurries away. She goes back to her desk looking bummed and grabs her bag to leave.

Dong-chan stays on the rooftop looking at the city and says, please have a good life. Ha-young has already left.

TITLE: THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET FROZEN

Dong-chan goes back to the cubicles and does not see Miran. He heads out as well. The PDs see him and wonder if he really quit. They heard that a lot of people want to recruit him and are offering him a lot of money.

Later that night, Miran walks around outside. Dong-chan calls. She does not pick up. She calls her friends instead and has a drink with them at Kyung-ja’s place.

They both drink wine but Miran drinks juice. She tells them that she may have met the person of her fate 20 years ago, but she is  not sure if she is the person of his fate. So she asks them for advice since they lived longer.

They ask what happenened. She tells them that she saw him with his ex-girlfriend. Young-sun says that men cannot forget thier first love. You might need to quit him. Is she pretty? Miran says yes. She is pretty and cool and successful, i am not a match to her at all.

Kyung-ja says that whatever she has, you are younger than her. Miran is worried that Dong-chan only treats her well because he feels responsible for her. the friends starts to talk about tortuting that woman and torturing Dong-chan. Love is war so keep that in mind.

Meanwhile. Dong-chan asks Nam-tae if his noona has come home. So Nam-tae calls her and says that she picks up her phone. But she is not picking up for Dong-chan. He wonders if she is only not accepting his phone calls. Whats up with that?

Miran starts to walk home. A man in all black starts to walk after her. This might be the missing assassin. She starts to run and runs right into Dong-chan. He asks what is going on? She tells him nothing. The man disappears when he sees Dong-chan.

Dong-chan asks why she is not answering his calls. She says that if she tells him then they will fight and she will lose so it will make her mad so she does not want to tell him.

They go back and forth with him telling her what happened and her saying she doesn’t want to tell him. She tries to leave, but he stops her and asks what is going on. She tells him it is because she likes him more than he likes her.

So he holds her by her shoulders and asks what happened. She tells him that she will think about it tonight, she is not herself tonight so she might make a mistake. She goes to her room.

When she sits at her desk she cries because he didn’t even hold her.

He goes to the octapang wondering why Miran is angry with him.

The doctor comes in so they start to chat. Dong-chan tells him that they can find him another place to stay. The doctor says he likes staying with Nam-tae for now. Though he will need to find another place.

Dong-chan tells him that he will take the injection first. He knows that Miran wants to take if first because she is fearless. But just give it to me first. The doctor says that they are both the same, him and Miran. That is why they are a good match. But he agrees that he will give it to Dong-chan first.

BROADCAST COMPANY

The next day at work, Miran looks up things about Ha-young. Of course they all say that she is super cool and successful.

Meanwhile, Ha-young talks to her team. Someone started a crowd funding link for the frozen man project and it reached 10 million in one day. The people who are working on the frozen man project do not want to be funded by big companies.

They think that the frozen man project will be a new era when the serum is created. He asks if she can do an interview with them. But Ha-young tells him that they said they don’t want to do any interviews about it.

In an awkward moment, Miran and Ha-young ride the elevator together later on. Miran asks Ha-young why she did not get married yet. Ha-young tells her that she is a very rude person. Miran apologizes. Ha-young tells her to just ask directly if I did not get married because of Ma Dong-chan.

Miran asks if she still likes him? You are cool and pretty and most of all you still love Ma Dong-chan. You both me. Ha-young asks, are you really not that confident? She leaves.

Ha-young walks around the corner confidently but stops and sighs like her balloon got deflated.

In the garage, Dong-chan drives his company car to work and starts to walk to the door. But he has a feeling that someone is watching him. He does not see anyone though.

In the cubicles, Dong-chan shows up to work again and tells Miran, lets talk. All the PDs look at them as they leave to talk. One of them says that Dong-chan might not have quit yet, see.

Dong-chan and Miran go somewhere quiet to chat, he tells her to tell him what happened. She says that she saw him with Ha-young on the rooftop. He asks, is that it? That is why you didn’t pick up my calls? Miran wants to know what happened with them? Dong-chan says that he has his manners toward her. They just resolved their misunderstanding.

Miran asks if he even likes her. I thought about it, you don’t even get jealous about my ex-boyfriend that lived upstairs. Dong-chan says it is because he does not deserve his jealously. But it was difficult not to look jealous. I tried to be a cool boyfriend, but my head was in a mess. I am honest. I didn’t even like you at first sight.

She asks why he likes her. Even if you are not attracted to me? He says that is the strangest thing. i don’t know, I just like you. I am from a past generation so it is pretty cheesy. I can’t say anything else anymore.

She says that she likes him more than he likes her so she is always controlled. He tells her that she does not know anything. Did we measure how much we love each other? H changes her name in his phone to Gob (someone who you always have to listen to. For instance, Eul would be the big company and Gob would be the small company so the big company always has to listen to the small company.) She said that he is Eul and she is Gab. he saves his name as Eul in her phone. then he tells her to smile, you are cute. Why don’t you laugh. I am Eul okay?

She tells him that she is hungry, she hasn’t eaten since last night. She he pulls her away to eat something.

CAFE

Miran asks Dong-chan why he quit. He says that he has to take responsibility for what he did. She asks if he has to leave? The company wants you. We still have not finished that dream that we talked about when we first met. You started here and you should finish here, YouTube is the next thing you can do.

BROADCAST

Ha-young looks at a news article that says that the fake chairman is out of jail because there is not enough evidence. Her assistant tells her that the assassin assistant was not arrested yet, he ran away. he is a professional killer and does not have finger prints or passport number.

Ha-young says that he should have a Korean name, so find that name.

Cut to the assassin eating at a cafe. He remembers the chairman tell him that if he wants to get his money then he has to kill Dong-chan or at the least, Miran.

Meanwhile, Dong-chan calls Young-tak (the cop) and asks about the fake director. The cop tells him that he won’t do anything or he will get arrested again so don’t worry.

Then Hyun-ki comes in complaining about something.

LABORATORY

The two doctors talk about Dong-chan coming to the lab. But then Dr. Jo says that a young guy came to the lab, he wanted to be in the frozen capsule.

Cut to a young handsome man walking to the lab with two other people behind him. he looks like an important person.

In the broadcast company, a girl tells Miran that a super famous guy wants to see her. She does not know why, but he is waiting in the meeting room.

So she goes there to meet him. They introduce each other and she asks why he wants to see her. So they chat. He says that he met Dr. Jo. She asks why. He says that he wants to get inside the frozen capsule. He has a woman that he really loves, they are dating secretly. But she is very sick. It is incurable, so I don’t want to leave her frozen alone. He wants to be with her together.

He came to see her becuase he wonders if she would be okay to be cold for a long time. Would she get hurt or anything? I wanted to check that with my own eyes.

Miran says that nothing about it hurts. You can think of a better world. He asys he is relieved. Thank you.

She asks why he wants to get in together? You can wait. he says that he wants to share time and space with her. He can’t think of anything else. He leaves.

Miran thinks about this.

Later on, Hyun-ki asks Hong-seok what he can do, Dong-chan is still in the company. Hong-seok says that they want to put Dong-chan as director in the variety department.

Hyun-ki complains that Dong-chan is only 32 years old. How can they make him the director! 

Dong-chan comes in right then. They ask him why he comes there so often, you quit. Dong-chan asks them if they go to the restroom to work at the restroom? Hyun-ki asks why he came there. Dong-chan tells them that he will finish what he started 20 years ago and then leave. The CEO thinks that is a good choice. Hyun-ki thinks that doe snot make any sense.

Meanwhile, DOng-chan’s mother gets home and tells them that the doctor told her that Dong-chan has a girl a frozen woman. The other frozen lady. They all start to talk about whether they can have kids together. But the mother is not concerned with that, she just does not want him to date that frozen woman.

Cut to Dong-chan talking to Ji-hoon about Miran. Dong-chan tells him to date someone else. Then he telsl him that he has a new project, so can you join me as an assistant? Ji-hoon says that he is doing GoGo 1999 with Miran. But Dong-chan says he is not anymore. Ji-hoon asks him why me? Dong-chan smiles and asys it is because he likes him so much.

Then he gets a call from his family that tells him to bring his girlfriend to meet the family.

So he gets Miran and they drive to his parents house. It is super awkward. They talk about DC living in her place. She says he lives in their octapang. The brother is happy that they don’t sleep in the same room.

Dong-chan wonders why they called them? The mother asks if they are dating to get married? Miran says that she is only 24, so she is not thinking about marriage. The mother says that is good. You should never marry. Miran asks why she says that?

The mother says that she is not a good match for her son. Miran says that she is actually not bad. I work hard and eat well and have a nice personality and I am rich. I have 70 million paid by the company. Your sons salary is coming from my fund. And not that many women can take his personality.

The mother tells her that she is so straight. Miran says that in these kinds of stories you start with an envelope with money. I am not asking for one now. She starts to laugh. The mother asks if she can joke? Miran says that she has to joke to make them happy. When she gets paid she will give them a party. What do you like omoni? The mother starts to smile.

Elsewhere, Byeong-sim gets home. His wife and son ask why he is there. How dare you come here? Byeong-sim runs and lays on his couch. He says that he thinks a ghost lives in his office. Every midnight he hears a shower in the bathroom. he thinks it is a woman.

Byeog-sim wonders why he thinks the ghost is a woman also. Young-sun tells him that that is not a ghost. You miss women, you pervert. He tells them that he is scared, can I stay here tonight? They tell him to leave. You need to go through the proper steps and then come back. Byeong-sim tells his son that he is so cold. Did you learn this from that 52 year old frozen guy?

The killer follows them.

At home, Dong-chan lays awake in bed. Miran also lays awake in bed. he asks her if she wants to come up. She replies for him to wait for her. So she sneaks upstairs.

They happily enjoy secret time in the octapang as they lay in bed and stare at each other. She asks him if he knows who she saw today? he asks who? An Idol? She says that a man came to see her whose girlfriend has a terminal disease. He wants to go into the frozen caluse together with her. he wanted to see her because she is a woman that did it. He wondered if it hurt or anything like that.

Miran tells Dong-chan, if I go back into the capsule, don’t go with me. He asks her why that would happen? I don’t want to think about it. She tells him, if that happened to me, protect me from the outside. He tells her that he is not going into the capsule. She jokes that that does not sound too good.
