OPENING
We open at the end of the last scene. The friend asks if the girl he knows knows that he is acting like this. JH wants to talk about something else.
Then JA holds his hand under the table and he starts hiccupping. We see their hands under the table, they hold them tighter and he starts to smile. He can’t hold back his smile and has to lick his lips to hide it. She just drinks her beer.
Afterwards they all leave together. All the guys like SY and want to drop her off. JH tells him friend to ride with the teamleader today. they asks JA where she lives, they can drop her off. JH says, OH thats right! I have something for you in my car. You can pick it up today!
She says, Oh! thats a great idea!
They both walk away and then stop to talk.
JH – why did you hold my hand
JA – because you hand was there, you didn’t like it?
It’s not that i didn’t like it
You held mine too
Why did you hold mine first
JA – you don’t know how timing is important between man and woman
JH – so we are man and woman now
JA – I am just telling you, you shouldn’t argue
JA – do you really have to put me in the corner
JH – You put me in the corner, you made me a loser in front of everyone.
They both laugh and they say that they should got work, there aren’t any over nighters at our company.
They both walk into the building and smile at the security. They say…um…I have to work….um…bye bye. They awkwardly stand and swing around as they wait at the elevtor. then they get on and she gets off at her company. He tries to hold on to her hand a little longer. She goes to her building holding her face as she smiles so brightly.
He goes up to his company and turns on al the lights and starts to clean up all around. JA makes them both drinks in her company, a couple people are around. He is trying to fins a cool way to sit on the couch and then he holds a pillow and starts punching it in excitement. She reaplies her makeup.
then he waits for her at the elevator. The doors open, but no one is there, it closes. But then it opens again and a drunk friend comes in stumbling and falling around. JH is all like….um….why are you here? The friend says that he is there to get his backpack, but then he falls on the couch and is about to sleep.
JA comes in at that moment and sees him, she treis to hide behind one of the large cartoon cutouts. The drunk man wants to know who that woman is that he was talking about, what kind of woman makes yor heart long like that. When you were in the army…..you were like So-jang (his ex girldfriend)….is she better than her, you wanted to kill yourself for her….
JH packs him up and drags his drunk friend out. This is a reversal of the scene where he got locked in the building. JH is outside getting a taxi for his drunk friend and puts him in it safely and pays for the taxi. The friend says he loves him! And JH is all like…me tt, me too.
Then JH takes off and calls JA. She says that she is so scared, when is he coming? He tells her to count to 100 ….no, count to 10….and he will be there! She laughs as she hangs up the phone.
He runs into the office, it is pitch black as he looks for her. Then a light turns on and she has a mask on. It scares him enough to fall to the ground. He tells her that seh drives him crazy and is a little upset. he sits at his desk and she tells him not to get mad. He says he isn’t mad so she says she won’t give him coffee.
—————–
#2
She says she will have coffee with his friend. he wants to know why, she says it is to find out about So-jang! And laughs as she runs off.
She sits on the couch with her coffee and he sits across from her ina chair. He says you said youa re supposed to be on fire when you love someone 9in regards to So-jang) you said that. She says he has a great memory. they both shake it off though and he pulls her away to see some of his work.
They sit at his desk and look at all the drawings he made. She points at all the sexy woman characters and is all like …..!!!!!! What is this!!!!! the camera shows them smiling and her pointing at characters as they look at the screen. then we see her trying to draw one of the characters. He holds her hand as they both draw together on the screen.
Then we cut to her cleaning her face and brushing her teeth for bed. She puts on a face mask and walks aour her room looking for something. Cut to a taxi dropping him off somewhere. He gets out and runs into a building.
JA sets up some books and computers to look nice in the background and then gets a call from JH. She holds the phone so she looks pretty. He does the same thing and says that he just got home. But in the background we see that he changed clothes and is also sitting somewhere that looks nice.
Montage of them talking and laughing all night. And then we see JA sleeping with her cell phone on her cheek. She wakes up and checks the phone. She is late! She hops up and gets ready and runs to the kitchen. She tells her mom she should have woken her up! But her mom basically said it is good to sleep in every now and again. She runs out. The father says that it seems like she was talking to someone all night. I don’t know who it is, just leave her alone about it. (the mom wonders if it was a man). then they start to talk about soju and drinking and JA’s life.

Appa is all like, I worked for 30 years! But the mom thinks he should work so the kids will be more confident.
JA gets a call in her car. She says she is leaving now….you’re almost here???? Okay, I am getting out of the house now! JA puts the car in reverse and goes to park it again. But JH sees her because he is already at the house. He watches her park her car while laughing. She gets out and checks her face and then walks like she just left her house. She hurries to the front and he runs up to her as well.
She tells him that he should have called her but he says her phone was off. her batery died. He asked her if she just came down from her house and she says yes. He starts laughing and she is like…..you saw everything????? She is so embarrassed. they get in the car with her covering her head. But the they hold hands in the car and start to banter back and forth about how she looks cute. She is so cute. Really? Yes I won’t let you go…never, because of how I neded up holding your hand. Do you think we are okay? We should be. Aren’t you afraid? We didn’t commit any crimes. Are you trustworthy? Ah….you fell in love with me too much already, heeheehee.
COMPANY
A company meeting just ended and everyone gets up to leave. But CG says that there is one more thing, the boss gave him an order. the new branch is a family member of the boss or the director. So they are thinking of who to send, you guys decide and give me the result.
Everyone starts leaving one by one until only YE is left. She goes to meet with the other woman and wants to know who has the time. They all talk about it, but no one wants to go there. YE doesn’t want to go there just because she is the youngest. Ah, they don’t want to do it becasue they will have to go with CG. BR basically tells her not to let CG just do anything he wants like JA does.
the woman go to sit and JA talks to them. Somehow JA says that she will go to the branch because they told her that they will do all her work. But then YE apologizes and says that this is an overnight trip with CG. JA’s eyes grow wide, what!!!!!!

She tells JH about it and he thinks his company doesn’t think about how they handle men and women. But he gets even more nervous when he finds out that she is going there with that pervert who touches women at the norebang. She says she thought she would leave and go there with him, she didn’t think she would have to go there with him. They playfully talk about it back and forth. She calls him crazy and he says that he is crazy…for someone, and he grabs her hand and pulls it to him. They only sit like that for a moment though because they are at work and see someone.
Then they start to talk about who can be a better actor when they go see JH’s sisters coffee shop.
Later on, JA works at the franchise company and tells the owner good night. He leaves, but then CG comes in. He asks if he can have a cup of coffee, he will pay for it.
Cut to KS talking to his sister at her shop. they are waiting there for JA.
But then we cut back to CG and JA talking at the company shop. He wants her back and she says that is wrong, seh is not an object that he can have. Don’t be like this, you are from a good school and you are rich. She tells him to leave, she has to close the store. But he just grabs her and tries to kiss her. She pushes him away. He tries it again and she pushes him away again. then she goes to the back and grabs something. He tries to kiss her again and she opens a whipped cream and shoots it in his face. She tells him he is the worst, men forcing themselves on women are the worst!
Cut to JH and KS in the car. KS is calling all around for JA, they can’t contact her. they are a little concerned about it.
back at the coffee shop, JA says that he needs to leave now or she will report him for sexual harrassment. He treis to clean the whipcream off. She says it will be a big problem if his family and her family have to meet at the polcie station. He storms off and she drops to the ground over come with the situation

the sister and the brother get to the coffee shop. Maybe JA called her? KS runs in and wonders what is going on. Who did this, who did this to you? A=There is glass all on the floor and JA loks pretty shaken up, but she is alright. JH is enraged and tries to breath a few times. He goes outside and tries to smoke. Then he goes to the convenience store and buys some medicine for her. He goes back and cleans up the mess in the kitchen.
KS yells at JA that they shouldn’t leave him alone. He is a crazy guy. But JA thinks it will be more trouble if they involve the polcie. Why didn’t you do anything! He basically says she is stupid for not defending herself. JH tells her that it won’t stop there, do you think it will stop? But KS pushes him outside and tells him not to make him more angry. then she goes back and tells her that she should have called someone, anyone.
JA says that she thought he would leave if she just talked to him. But KS says that she is too naive and a good person, that isn’t a good thing! JA starts crying and KS tells her to stop crying. JA says she shouldnt’ do this to me and KS pulls her into a big hug.
Later JH and JA talk outside. He says what he said wasn’t truthful, he was just angry. KS pushed her outside to get some cold air and is cleaning up. Are you angry? JH says he can’t do what he wants to do and he shouldn’t do it. She apologizes for making him worry. But she couldnt’ call him, she wished he was there with her. there is a bit of distance between them as they talk. he looks at her finger. She says it is just a little scratch and it doesnt hurt. But he says it hurts him. then he hugs her and tells her that he won’t leave her alone from now on. Their song starts to play
“Sometimes it’s hard to bea a woman, giving al your love to one man…”
Cut to JA’s place. KS gives her a big hug and JA waves at JH while they hug. then they watch her go inside. Back at KS and JH’s apartment. She asks her brother if he wants to have a drink. He says that he is tired and will just sleep. But then he sneaks away before even going inside his place.
But then we cut to him at his house. He plays a song from a retro speaker to JA over the phone. We see her in bed listening to it.

They don’t think they should cut the cost of the store, they should cut their employees first. The boss also thinks that JA is the only one that works hard because she is the only one that works when they have trouble.

This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JH Colleague: You said your house was in Mokdong, didn’t you? Since I live in Hwagokdong, I’ll drop you off.
SY: Ah… I’m okay actually.
Colleague: Oh, it’s on the way anyway.
SC: Cha Man Ok, so nice for you.
JH: (to SC) Hey, today, you go stick with Team Leader. Since my bag is at the office.
SC: Isn’t mine as well? Your house is in Hakgungdong, so why do you need your bag?
JH: There is something that I need. Go. I’ll take care of the rest.
Colleague2: Manager Yoon, where do you live?
JA: I live at Boondang.
Colleague2: Oh, you can come with us then. After Team Leader has been dropped off, then…
JA: Yes.
JH: Oh, I forgot. I have something in my car that my sister said to give you.
JA: Oh, that thing! As it is since I don’t go to the office that often these days, I had wondered when I was going to see her.
JH: You can just take it today.
JA: Yes, I can do that.
JH: Let’s go.
(JH and JA walk quickly down a street when JH suddenly stops and faces JA)
JA: Oh! You startled me!
JH: Why did you hold my hand?
JA: Since your hand was there. Why? Did you dislike it?
JH: I’m not saying I disliked it…
JA: You grabbed my hand, too.
JH: Why did you grab it first? I was going to grab it first.
JA: (laughing a little) In which lifetime? You don’t know how important timing is in a relationship between a man and a woman.
JH: Have we become a “relationship between a man and a woman” now?
JA: I’m just saying that they say that. Well. Why are you scrutinizing the words anyway?! You’re only satisfied when you’ve totally teased a person with what she’s said.
JH: Whose the one who toyed first? I turned into a total breathless idiot.
JA: It was going to be a bit much for me to say that, so for saying that with your own mouth, thank you.
JH: Where do you want to go? Do you want to go finish the game?
JA: Well, I do have the expert actually in front of me.
JH: That’s true, isn’t it. Let’s go to the office.
JA: But there might be some staff who are working overtime.
JH: Our offices won’t have any. Let’s go.
Scene #2:
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
SC: Yah, do you want to go get a cup of coffee?
JH: Oh, you’re really drunk! Let go! Oh!
(JA gets locked in the office this time. LOL)
(JH flags a taxi for SC)
JH: Thank you. (to SC) Come here. Get in. Let’s go. Let’s go.
SC: Why aren’t you getting in?
JH: I have to go do something.
SC: You’re not putting me in a taxi and going off to play without me, right?
JH: Course not. (to driver) Please go.
Driver: Yes.
SC: I love you!
JH: Yes, I love you a lot.
(JH goes back to the office, calling JA on the phone.)
JH: Why didn’t you answer your phone? I was worried about you.
JA: Joon Hee
JH: Yes?
JA: When are you coming? I’m so scared.
JH: Count to a hundred…no, just count to ten. I’ll be there quickly. (starts running)
JA: (upstairs watching JH on the street) Oh, he’s really fast.
JH: Noona! Noona. Noona! Oh! (JA bursts out and startles him.) Really. Seriously. Oh, that’s so annoying. Seriously.
JA: It was just a little joke, so why are you so upset?
JH: Who is upset?
JA: You are upset! I won’t give you any coffee.
JH: I’m not drinking it.
JA: Okay then, don’t. Ah! I was going to have lunch tomorrow with Seung Chul-sshi. Did you want to come?
JH: Why with Seung Chul all of a sudden?
JA: So Jung-ie. (me: think this is a woman that JH was interested in the past)
JH: That really wasn’t anything.
Scene #3:
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JH: I said that it really wasn’t much of anything.
JA: Certainly, this is something different from the Arts University oppa. Dying over something that “wasn’t much of anything”. It must have at least been a “some”.
JH: Who doesn’t have a past history? Also, you said that when you like someone, that acting crazily and passionately was being in love. You said that it had to be hot! Did you or did you not say that not being like that was completely disrespecting one’s partner? Did you or didn’t you say that?
JA: The things that I had said, you’re reciting them without a single changed syllable.
JH: Of course. I am such an observant man.
(Both of them laugh, getting over the tension.)
JH: Come here. I’ll show you something.
Scene #4:
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
(JA gets the video call from JH.)
JA: Did you already get home?
JH: What do you mean already? I came awhile ago and washed up before I called. See? I even changed all of my clothes. Ah! I’m just having a beer.
Scene #5:
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JA: (gets a call) Yes? Me? I’m just going to work now. Why? You’re almost here? Oh. I’m at home. Home. I’m just going down now. (re-parks her car)
(JH watches her do so.)
JA: You should have called first. What if we had missed each other?
JH: Your phone continued to be shut off, so I couldn’t call before I came.
JA: My battery was out.
JH: That’s right. But, are you just coming down from your house right now?
JA: Of course!
JH: Hmm.
JA: Why are you laughing? (realization hits) You were watching it all, weren’t you?
JH: Not from the first, but when you were turning around, just coincidentally. Wow, your reversing was a work of art. Did you want to see me so quickly?
JA: Just open the door.
JH: It’s already open.
(Both get in.)
(JH grabs JA’s hand as he drives.)
JH: How can you be so cute?
JA: That’s enough of that.
JH: If I come every day to pick you up, I’ll probably be able to see it again.
JA: I said that’s enough.
JH: What’s wrong? It just looked so cute to me.
JA: Really?
JH: Do you believe that?
JA: Let go!
JH: I absolutely can’t let go. It took so much to be able to hold it.
JA: Really.
Scene #6:
This scene is translated by Bissu on Soompi. Thank you so much Bissu!
JH: A workshop? Where are you going? Can I come too?
YJA: You can’t. It’s for 2 days and 1 night.
JH: That’s nice! When you’re done with work we can look around the city.
YJA: *sighs. I’m crazy, how is it (that I”ll be) with that person out of everyone.
JH: So you won’t be by yourself then? Male coworker? Ah, the company doesn’t think at all, putting a man and woman together.. Who is it? How old is he?
YJA: That’s not the problem! The problem is that it’s *coworkers name!
JH: Isn’t that the pervert?! The one who does stuff to female worker at the karaoke.. No. Don’t go.
YJA: I don’t want to either! But I’ve already told them I would. I didn’t know I’d be with him! Because they didn’t tell me. I just thought I could go with you..
JH: *smiles. So you really did want to go with me.
YJA: Yes.. you’re right! What’s the point of that now, it’s (the plan) all messed up.
JH: Why is it messed up? I can just go. You think I’m going to leave you alone with that psycho pervert?
YJA: What about the company? You can’t take time off.
JH: If I can’t take off time, I’ll just submit my resignation.
YJA: You’re crazy.
JH: I am crazy .. for a certain someone.
*Hold hands
YJA: Later on, I’m gonna go meet KS. Since it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other I think she’s a bit upset at me.
JH: She’s not upset, she’s probably ?? (can’t make it out) Ok. I’ll be there too.
YJA: You too? Isn’t it too early for us to be together?
JH: It’s exciting and fun, isn’t it. Should we bet who can act better?
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JH: Business trip? Where are you going? Can’t I go as well?
JA: No, you can’t. It’s to Danildan for 2 days and 1 night.
JH: That’s nice! I mean, after you finish work, we can go look around the area, and it would be nice.
JA: I must be crazy. How can I go with that human being?
JH: You’re not going alone. A male colleague. How can a company be so thoughtless? A woman and a man together. Who is the male colleague? How old is he?
JA: That’s not the issue. The issue is that he’s that annoying Yoo Bal Ja.
JH: Isn’t he that pervert? The one who at the karaoke was touching the female staffers as he pleased? (at JA’s look) You can’t. Don’t go.
JA: I also don’t want to go, but I held up my hand and volunteered to go. I didn’t realize that I was going to be going with him. Since no one told me. I thought I could just go with you… (stops herself after realizing what she was about to say and sighs)
JH: So, I’m right that you were thinking of going with me.
JA: Fine. That’s right. That’s right. But, what’s the point? When it’s all ruined.
JH: What’s ruined? I can just go. (at JA’s look) Do you think I’m going to let you go alone with that perverted moron?
JA: But, what about your office? You can’t easily take time off.
JH: If I really can’t the time off, then I’ll just resign.
JA: Oh really. You’re crazy.
JH: I am crazy…about someone. :wub:
(JH grabs JA’s hand, and she scootches over until a crowd of people come out.)
JA: I’m going to… (clears her throat and tries again) I’m going to go to the store, then stop by Kyung Sun’s at night. Since I haven’t been able to see much of her these days, I think she might be upset with me.
JH: It’s not that she’s upset. She’s probably developed an imaginary illness because of it. Okay. I’ll go, too.
JA: You, too? Isn’t it a little strange for us to be together like that? (me: she means be together in front of KS who doesn’t know)
JH: The nervousness is kind of fun. Shall we bet on who is the better actor? (meaning which one of them can pretend better not to be interested in each other)
JH: Oh really. Impossible.

JH: What I said earlier was harsh, I didn’t mean it.
YJA: I know that.
JH: Hurry and go inside, noona is probably looking for you.
YJA: She’s told me to come outside and get some air because she couldn’t stand looking at me. You’re angry aren’t you?
JH: I can’t do what I want, even if I do it wouldn’t work. It would be weird for me to be ok in this situation.
YJA: I’m sorry.
JH: What did you do wrong?
YJA: You know what (why are you asking). I made you worry. I wasn’t in the right mind to call you. I did want you beside/with me though..
*JH checks her hand
YJA: It’s just a little scrape, it doesn’t hurt at all.
JH: I’m the one who is hurt.
*Hugs her
JH: I will never leave you by yourself from now on.
This scene is also translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JH: I spoke too harshly. I didn’t mean that.
JA: I know that much.
JH: Go ahead and go in. My sister will be looking for you.
JA: She said that she doesn’t want to see the sight of me, and that I should go get some air. She said that she would clean up. You’re angry, aren’t you?
JH: I can’t do as I want, and I shouldn’t anyway, so if I were perfectly normally, that would be strange.
JA: I’m sorry.
JH: What did you do wrong?
JA: You already know. I made you worry. I didn’t have the wherewithal to call. Even though I had been thinking that I wanted you beside me. (JH looks at JA’s hand.) I just scratched them a bit. They don’t hurt at all.
JH: I’m hurting. I am.
(JH hugs JA.)
JH: From now on, I absolutely won’t leave you alone.
(JA hugs him back.)
(JH and KS take JA home.)
KS: Go on in.
JA: Okay.
Scene #9:
This scene is translated by Bissu on Soompi. Thank you so much Bissu!
YJA: Can you stop looking at me like that?
JH: How am I looking at you?
YJA: Like a jobless man watching his wife get ready for work.
JH: Haha, that sounds nice. YJA: What will you be doing (while I’m gone)?
JH: I’m gonna stay here right here (not do anything).
YJA: Go do something meanwhile, there’s a lot to do here.
JH: There’s no fun in doing it alone.
YJA: Well, I really am someone who can make you feel lonely if I’m not there.
JH: Get off (the car).
YJA: You’re not letting it go even once (not playing along with her joke). I’ll be back!
JH: *mouths: Pretty x 2
YJA: *comes around the car: What did you say?
JH: I SAID YOU’RE PRETTY!
This scene is also translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JA: Can’t you not look at me that way?
JH: How am I looking?
JA: You have the exact gaze of a unemployed husband watching his wife get ready to go off to work.
JH: Oh, that’s pretty good.
(Both look in the back for something.)
JH: Ah, you have to have your shoes.
JA: Thank you.
JA: What are you going to be doing?
JH: I’m not going to stay here and not move at all.
JA: Don’t make it so that I can’t do work either, and go and do something. There is a lot to sightsee here.
JH: What fun would that be alone?
JA: Then again, I am someone who can make a person really feel the empty seat next to them. (me: LOL. She’s self-complimenting again.)
JH: Get out.
JA: (mutters to herself) He just won’t let me get away with it even once. (to JH) I’ll go now.
(JH hugs JA)
JH: You’re precious to me.
JA: Yes. Even I know that much.
(Through the window after she gets out)
JH mouths: You’re pretty.
JA mouths: What?
JH mouths: I said that you’re pretty.
(JA comes over to JH’s side of the car.)
JA: What did you say? Huh?
JH: I said that you’re pretty! (JA tries to shush him) Why? Why?
JA: Be quiet. (laughs and leaves)
Scene #10:
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JA: Omo!
JH: What’s wrong?
JA: Nothing.
JH: That’s not the face you make when it’s nothing.
JA: But why are you here?
JH: The time that you were supposed to come out is long past, so I was just about to go into the store.
JA: Oh, I just had some things to finish up. You’ve waited too long, haven’t you? You must be hungry. I’m so hungry. Let’s go eat something delicious. Huh? Just tell me that I did well.
JH: (wraps his arm around her shoulder) You did well.
JA: Thank you.
Scene #11:
This scene is translated by Bissu on Soompi. Thank you so much Bissu!
YJA: If I .. didn’t hold your hand first what would’ve happened?
JH: I’d die/You would’ve been killed by me. (?)
JH: So you won’t regret (being in a relationship with me) I’ll do well.
YJA: Can I trust you?
JH: You can trust me.
YJA: And if you don’t (do well)?
JH: Then I don’t.
JH: I’m saying I’ll do well because I’m already regretting things. So I’m telling you to trust me.
YJA: What regrets?
JH: (Things like) I should’ve confessed first. I should’ve held your hand first.
YJA: I’m cold.
JH: You should wear more reliable (warmer) clothes like mine.
YJA: Usually don’t men offer their clothes/jackets to women.
JH: But I’m cold too.
YJA: Ugh
*Hugs her
JH: How do you fit so easily into my arms.
YJA: You’re making fun of me again by saying I’m small aren’t you!
JH: .. This (what I’m about to do) isn’t my fault.
YJA: Hm?
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
JA: “I shouldn’t have grabbed your hand.” What if I ever have such a thought?
JH: You would be killed…by me. So that you won’t ever regret it, I’ll treat you well.
JA: Can I believe that?
JH: You can believe that.
JA: What if I can’t?
JH: Then you can’t.
(JA looks over and pushes him.)
JH: Since I’ve already had regrets, I’m going to do well. So, I’m telling you to believe me.
JA: What regrets?
JH: Why didn’t I confess to you first? I should have grabbed your hand first.
JA: Oh, it’s cold.
JH: You should have worn thick clothing like me.
JA: In a situation like this, isn’t the man supposed to say “wear mine”?
JH: But, it’s cold.
JA: Oh, really.
(JH embraces JA.)
JH: How can you go so completely into my arms like this?
JA: You’re teasing me again that I’m small, aren’t you?
JH: This isn’t my fault.
JA: Huh?
Scene #12:
This scene is translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
Father: You have family like us, so why wouldn’t you have someone on your side?
Mother: Yes. if you distinguish between your side and my side, I’ll be very sad. Dad and I have never once thought of you and Joon Hee as someone else’s children.
KS: I know. Why wouldn’t I know that? It’s just I didn’t think of that and was talking nonsense.
SH: Hey, drink moderately. One bottle is more than enough.
KS: Ish!
SH: You noonas are too old now. Whenever you drink, you get carried away.
KS: Yah! I may not to be considered attractive now, but what about our Jin Ah? Do you think that the number of guys who say that they can’t live without her is just one or two? It’s because I’ve never talked about it, but all the guys who wanted to date her passionately have all been mowed down.
JA: Oh, she’s drunk again. When she gets drunk, then she’s like… aigoo.
KS: You don’t think that’s true? Shall I talk about it then? Lee Gyu Min…
JA: Yah!
JH: Why are you being like this? Really?
SH: What’s this? Is Yoon Jin Ah still meeting that bastard?
JA: No!
SH: (to JH) Yah! Do you know something?
JH: Know something? What would I know? It’s because my sister was getting carried away that I said something.
SH: I don’t think so.
JH: At least you should just stay quiet.
Mother: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Yoon Jin Ah, what is all this about? Huh? You told us not to even mention his name, but you can’t forget him, that’s what’s going on, isn’t it? You two, you’re not a couple who can break it off so easily like that.
JA: Mom!
Mother: Oh you! We’re just al family, so what of it. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Dating is about meeting and then separating and then meeting again. Isn’t that right?
JA: I said no! I said no! I said I refuse to ever see him again!
SH: If it was going to end like this, then why did you make such a fuss that you liked him for all that time?
JA: (smacking SH in the head) You kid. You think that you can say anything you want. Just randomly without any manners.
Mother: Why would you hit the head of a child who is studying?!
JA: Is studying a little such a great thing?! He has to become a human being! A human being!
Mother: Aigoo.
Father: Jin Ah’s words are right. Studying to be a doctorate or whatever, life is first. Life is. I don’t look at anything else. Someone who knows how to care for others is the best. If Jin Ah brings home such a guy, then for me, I’ll accept him regardless of anything else.
KS: I agree!
Scene #13:
This scene is translated by Bissu on Soompi. Thank you so much Bissu!
YJA: I have to go back to work now.
JH: What are you doing tomorrow?
YJA: Tomorrow? Since it’s my day off, I’m going to sleep in first of all. After that I don’t have any plans, why are you asking? Is there something you want to do?
JH: Rather than that..
YJA: It seems like there is something. What is it, tell me.
JH: My sister won’t be here for 2 days and 1 night so, do you want to come to my house?
JH: You’re here?
YJA: You told me to come….
This scene is also translated by Stroppyse on Soompi. Thank you so much!
(JA and JH on the phone.)
JA: I have to go back in to work now.
JH: What are you doing tomorrow?
JA: Tomorrow? It’s my day off, so I’ll probably sleep in late. And then after that, I don’t have anything planned. Why? Is there something you want to do?
JH: It’s not exactly that… mmm…
JA: What is it? Tell me.
JH: Tomorrow, my sister is going on a trip for 2 days and 1 night. Don’t you want to come over to my place?
(JA gets out of the cab at JH’s place.)
JA: Thank you.
Driver: Yes.
(JA at JH’s door.)
JH: You’re here?
JA: You said to come.
(they go inside)

All the cuteness make me giddy and laugh but only for a moment.
Why do Joon Hee and Jin Ah have to keep their relationship a secret?
Why the need for hiding and clandestine meetings and essentially lying to the people around them?
Now that they have confirmed their feelings and they each are willing to give it a try, then they need to be honest and upfront about it.
Tell the people around them that they are dating and see how it goes.
If Joon Hee is so sure that he likes Jin Ah, he should take the responsibility and convince Jin Ah to tell their loved ones that they are dating and deal with whatever that comes their way as a result of that be it recriminations or criticisms or whatever. Jin Ah is understandably the one most hesitant because of the age difference and largely negative view of an older woman with a young man relationship in some society especially an Asian society which is what Korean society is.
There are no secrets in the world.
If they continue trying to hide and lie, when people find out (because they always do), then it would come across as if Joon Hee and Jin Ah are embarrassed or ashamed of their relationship such that they cannot be honest and open about it.
So the question is – are they ashamed? Or afraid? Or both?
They need not be ashamed or afraid.
Age is just a number.
What matters is the heart.
What the heart feels.
If being together makes their heart happy, then they should not be ashamed or afraid.
Or else the relationship would be just based on having a regular sexual partner with none of the inherent responsibilities that come with a committed relationship that is recognised by all.
I understand the giddiness of young love and early stages of getting to know one another and the need for secrecy and space to be sure about one another. But it cannot go on for long and definitely not for a woman who is in her 30s.
I think its more so for getting the time to be comfortable with themselves before facing the society, especially when his sister is her close friend.
Unlike most noona romances, she did not push him away simply because she was old.
But the conflict is bound to happen – the fact that both of them are in different stages in life plus the society itself. fingers crossed.
I think they just want to live in the early love moments without having all these outsiders/other people in their business. They also want to see if it will actually work between them. It will be a lot less drama that way. If their love builds then they will tell them all eventually.
Sashaa, you may be absolutely right. Please read my comment to V’s comment below because my comment to your comment is exactly the same as the one I gave to V below. Thank you! 🙂
On a less serious note, it is not hard for either Jung Hae In or for Son Ye Jin to look at each other with googly, lovestruck, puppy-dog eyes all the time because they are both drop-dead gorgeous and adorable.
They are both freaking adorable individually and together that they make laugh giddily just looking at them being so adorable.
But then the inevitable conflicts are just around the corner and I’m bracing myself for the heartache that is sure to consume my poor heart watching them go through the inevitable angst and heartbreaking life moments as a couple.
Yes, V, you may be absolutely right but because I love both of the characters so much that I dread the moment their relationship will be outed by others not by them and the inevitable conflict that would ensue as a result of them not being the ones to be honest and upfront about it. I hate the thought of their pure and honest love being looked upon in a negative light, which is what would usually happen under such circumstances. However I trust that the PD with his stellar reputation would not allow the lead characters to be reduced to being stigmatised by society. Please PD-nim. Please allow the characters that we all love to continue to be loved by all. 🙂
I dread that moment too. I hope the PD and writer handle it well and we have some believable stakes!
Yes, @V! I echo your sentiment. i hope the PD will handle it well and our lovely couple will weather the inevitable storm unscathed and be even more in love! 😉
Does anyone know how old is Hae in’s character (Joon Hee) in the drama? I cannot find it in the character description anywhere.
And JA is around 35, I guess?
I’m not sure either, but I feel like he is in his late 20’s like 27 or 28. they said he was taking his college entrance exams when his mother died and she died 10 years ago.
@oppafangirl, if I’m not mistaken, Joon Hee’s age is given as early 30s, so maybe 31 or 32.
@oppafangirl, yes Jin Ah’s age is given as 35. So the age difference between the 2 characters should be less than 5 years.
@V and @kay thanks! I feel its not too drastic age difference (like in witch’s romance).
You’re most welcome, @oppafangirl 😉
And yes the age difference is negligible to us but who knows what obstacles the couple will face regardless since the inevitable angst and conflict are sure to follow the lovey-dovey scenes.
Thank you do much for these recaps!!! Am so happy I found this treasure!
I finally found a site where there is an english translation up to episode 3…its on watchasian.io for anyone who wants to watch…I really enjoyed your live recaps and can’t wait for Friday!
Thank you for sharing! Hopefully more English translations start popping up.
Thank you for letting everyone know Ianna!
I’d come right over, too. For that smile that would greet me at the door. Yea. Hahaha
What song plays in scene 11 at 2.18 when they kiss for the first time? Such a cute song and I can’t find it anywhere. Also they are so cuteeee
