FRANKLY SPEAKING

Is Song Ki-baek the person
in your heart right now?

WHERE ARE YOU?

I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO YOU

Why isn't she responding?

Is she busy?

I WANT TO SEE YOU

Yeah.

I like Ki-baek.

I'm sorry, and thank you.

But it's all in the past now.

I'll get going.

Why am I so nervous?

Should I tell her tomorrow?

Let's tell her.

I should tell her.

Ki-baek!

The test results show nothing unusual.

Seems to just be fatigue.

We'll put him on a drip and let him rest.

He'll be all right.

Get his autograph.

Wow, this is cool.

What's he doing
at a small hospital like this?

The doctor said he'd be all right,
so don't worry.

He said he was sorry.

He apologized to me and my mom.

He said he came to see me to say that.

To put me at ease.

He was always like that.

He doesn't even show it when he's hurting.

He was about to faint,
but all he could think about was

his past mistakes and how sorry he felt.

He's such a weirdo.

You should've taken Woo-ju home.

Would you let yourself drive
if you were me?

I don't have indemnity insurance.

Turn on the radio or something.

You're a patient, not my boss.

Nice one, Mr. Song the driver.

Let's find out how they first met.

Yes, Ms. Kang is in her forties.
She's divorced with two daughters.


Their situations were similar,
so they opened up to each other.


Yes. They could really
relate to each other.


VOLUME

Hey, you're renting, aren't you?

Go if you're going to talk nonsense.

STILLS FROM COUPLE'S PARADISE

Oh, my PR team took those pictures.

Your pictures are there too.
Take them if you want.

Have you told her?

I was going to
but couldn't because of you.

I'm not sorry.

You crazy idiot.

Let me tell you this up front.

I'd never give
you and Woo-ju my blessings.

But if it'd make Woo-ju happy,

I could use my impressive capabilities
and wealth to help you out a little.

Jeez.

Woo-ju likes you a lot.

You see, I know the face she makes
in front of the man she likes.

So scram now, will you?

Don't make Woo-ju wait.

I'm off.

I'm on my way.

-Where to?
-To you, On Woo-ju!


What?

LET'S MAKE IT OFFICIAL

I thought we were already official.

FALLING IN LOVE

Man, I'm starving.

I got two fried chickens to celebrate
our 22nd day together.


Nice, you know the way to my heart.

I'LL BE THERE SOON

BE SAFE

If you're bored,
you can come to the subway station.


I'm not bored.
I came to pick up my girlfriend.


Come down. It's raining now.

I'm tired. I'm not in the mood
to talk to you today.


I added noodles and cheese.

I'm running on my knees.

I'm still mad at you,

but I can't let the glass noodles
get all soggy, so...


You can punish me.
The tteokbokki did nothing wrong.


Come on, quick! It's about to start.

-What's going on downstairs?
-They're watching TV.

-They won't come up here.
-Okay. It's on.

HEAVEN HOUSE

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
COUPLE'S PARADISE

Oh, my God.

The real-time ratings
for the final episode

are over ten percent!

YEON

Yeon, it's important we keep our cool
when something like this happens.

We shouldn't act like
we've never tasted success before, but...

Hey, I haven't seen
two-digit ratings in so long.

My legs are all wobbly,
and my heart is pounding.

No, thump, thump.
It's beating like a drum.

Hurrah for On Woo-ju!
Seriously, hurrah for us.

I'm so happy. This is amazing.
We deserve a team dinner.

At one of those fancy restaurants,
you know?

All right, Yeon. Bye.

My goodness. Yeon is overly excited.

It's not professional to be like this.

I think you're more excited.
Are you that happy?

You don't know how amazing this is.

A five-episode pilot exceeding ten percent
is unbelievable. It's an epic success.

I see.

Right now,
the production team's group chat is...

It's hot. So hot!

-It's hot?
-Ouch.

What is this?

Look at this. Everyone's going wild.

THE SHOW'S OVER?

"Star writer, On Woo-ju"?

"Superstar, Song Ki-baek"?

We're floating.

Be careful!

It's so beautiful.

Look at the moon!

COUPLE'S PARADISE

Yes!

EPISODE 9: MAGIC CARPET RIDE

GO,
THE PILLAR OF THE SONG FAMILY!

RISING STAR SONG KI-BAEK!

-Congrats, son.
-Congrats.

-Everyone's talking about the show.
-Ouch, it's hot.

Your older brother hasn't eaten yet.

-It's fine. Dig in.
-All right.

It's hot. Can you help me?

My eldest son,
you'll go on to do bigger things,

so you have to eat well.

My phone's blowing up.

My friends are begging me
to let them come over

so they can see you.

Can I post a picture
of you on my Instagram?

Sure.

One chicken?
Couldn't you be more generous?

Do people buy two birthday cakes
if they're happy?

One's enough.

You like chicken porridge, honey.
The porridge is almost ready.

You can have this wing, Dad.

I'll just have the porridge.

Let's eat, all right?

Eat up.

I don't like wings because
of the slippery texture.

Ki-baek, you said you were going out.

Hurry up and eat.

Superstar Song, got plans today?

A commercial sh**t.

What?

-A commercial?
-A commercial? Goodness.

Wow, that is amazing!

Now we can get one chicken per person...
No. Can we get beef?

Come on. I still have a long way to go.

Hurry up and eat.

Hello, Chief.

-This is for you guys.
-We got a regular slot!

-That sly chief director is all excited.
-Hey.

She said she'd reward us...

Oh, thank you in advance.

So does it mean the show can continue?

Yes. The whole country is talking about
Couple's Paradise now.

The show must continue.

Thank you.

Ha-young, I trust you'll handle
the pressure well.

You haven't told your team yet?

Chief.

Everything's going great.
What's your problem?

It's not hard.

Restructure the team without Woo-ju,
and you'll get a regular slot.

Don't tell me you'll turn this down.

You have Ha-young. You guys can do it.

But this show...

Woo-ju wrote it.

I refuse to do it without her.

The series can't continue with Woo-ju.

Let's do what's best for the team.

Seriously, must you all be such amateurs?

We should keep the momentum going.
Right, Ha-young?

You guys, get a grip.

Hello, everyone!

Oh, you're here.

I sure am.

Everyone's talking about the show,
so I ran here with a happy heart.

Chief, can we talk?

Director Chae, did you not have lunch?
Why are you so cranky today?

Chief, buy us some snacks. Something good.

Oh, sure thing.

Of course. That's no problem at all.

Here.

-Go pick up some snacks.
-Okay.

Buy lots.

Hey!

Level Nine, Level Nine

No problem

Level Seven, Level Seven

I feel confident

Fly to the world of success with Genie Edu

Hey!

Fly, fly, let's fly, fly, fly

Cut, all right!

Thanks, everyone.

We'll take a ten-minute break
before moving on to the next scene.

Prop team, the rug.

Don't forget to brush
the fringe on the rug.

Got it.

-Oh, thank you.
-Just talk to me casually.

I'll be with you wherever you go.

Sure.

MY WOO-JU:
GOOD LUCK

SOAR HIGH, SUPERSTAR SONG

SOAR... LET'S SOAR HIGH!
I'LL SEE YOU LATER!

Ki-baek, can we take a picture...

One moment.

Would that be all right?

Yes, sure.

Thank you.

I became a fan
after watching Couple's Paradise.

Just one picture, please.

-Let me take it for you.
-Okay, thank you.

Here we go.

One, two.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-You can't post it on social media.
-Okay.

The sh**ting schedule isn't out yet, so...

It's natural to feel frazzled.

You're stoked that
you've risen to stardom,

but you're worried you'll suddenly fall.

Just enjoy it.

Show up when needed
and take the offered jobs.

I don't want to be overexposed.

You really are clueless.

For variety shows, the more familiar
people are with you, the better.

Show your face
as often as you can, when you can.

Not even God knows
when or how things could turn sour.

Yes.

What did I say?

I told you the show would be a hit.

If you hear anyone saying
I've lost my touch, bring them to me.

I'll teach them a lesson.

I'll have another talk with the chief.

You'll return as head writer,

and Ha-young will assist you
as the second writer. Right?

I certainly don't want to get off a horse
that's gaining momentum.

Besides, it's not like I have to steal

this show from Woo-ju
to survive as a writer.

What are you two doing?

I'm sorry to disappoint you guys,
but I've already left the team.

Yeon, don't be so lame.

Will you go to the variety show division
and beg them to save On Woo-ju?

Shouldn't you be focused
on securing a bigger budget

to make the show even better?

You're frustrating me here.

And you. You got the head writer position
to fill in for me.

One mistake and you're done for.

You'd better stay laser-focused.

Let's think about it.

Good God.
Stop thinking and have a meeting.

I'm off. Bye.

Oh, man.

No more bites, no more excuses.
You can do it.

Come to Weigh To Go Gym.

Lose fat and gain muscle.

Come to Weigh To Go Gym.

Please visit us.

That little...

Hello.

You remember me?

Nope.

Liar.

We know each other.
Why did you say hello to me, then?

My mom said
I should always say hello to my elders.

My captain is a perfect mom too.

Mister, why is my mom your captain?

What?

Oh, no. I was just...

Man.

We can do this together.

Here.

I can go home and get my mom's ladder.

Come on. Just let me lift you up.

Don't touch me!

Jeez. There.

I should try to bond with him.

Would you stop acting buddy-buddy with me?

Oh, sorry.

Have you eaten yet?

-Want some fried chicken?
-I hate fried chicken.

There's nothing I hate more.

Wait. Then what do you like?

Hey!

They sent your pay for the commercial.

STRIP LOIN
HANWOO

Song Ki-baek!

You know, Song Ki-baek had this
with Min Cho-hui on Couple's Paradise.

This was that product placement.

It's a new product.
It's buy one get one free.

Hello, sir. Try this.

Oh, sure. Thank you.

You'll also get
two fish cake bars for free.

Excuse me, aren't you...

No, I'm not a singer.

Aren't you Song Ki-baek?

I'm a huge fan!
Oh, it's him. It's Song Ki-baek!

-Song Ki-baek is here.
-Oh, my God.

Can I please get your autograph?

-Me too.
-Me too.

I don't have one yet.

I can't because
I don't have a signature yet.

How could he not have a signature?

If he doesn't want to, he can just say so.

No, that's not why.

It's my first autograph request,
that's why.

I see.

Would my credit card signature work?
Then I can do it.

Of course. Can I get it here?

Are these dumplings good?

I prefer them pan-fried.

I know this is tasty,

but it's overpriced.

Yikes, you should get a different one.

A fresh mackerel has clear eyes
and bright scarlet gills.

Get another one and I'll sign it.

Thank you. Yes.

Oh, sure.

-Thank you. You're handsome.
-Thank you.

Are you going away?
Why did you buy so many things?

I got paid, so I went shopping.

I bought this too.

Come sit.

No, what if someone sees us
sitting side by side?

Who cares? I bought this
so we could sit side by side.

Just for a minute, then.

Wow, this is nice.

For the first time in my life,
I shot a TV commercial,

got a manager, and signed autographs.

Fish cakes were two per person,
but I got seven.

Whoa.

I might get a car or even a house soon.

Man, I don't want to move.
I like being Woo-ju's upstairs neighbor.

We can have a date at a nicer home.

A stay-home date?

Oh, cut it out.

So? Is your schedule full now?

I've booked one thing,
so it's a good start.

One thing? And you think
you can buy a car and a house?

What about you? How was your day?

How was the meeting?

Well...

It went well.

It went well?

That's it?

That's it.

Wow, are all famous TV writers
cool like you?

Is it doable?

Living with the switch on.

So far, yes.

Dr. Kim said it was important
to get used to the disinhibition symptoms.

Right, but I can't be glued to you 24-7,

so I should expose myself
to many situations.

Okay, but let me know
when you really need me.

What?

You too. Let me know if you ever need me.

I feel like I'm always
the one reaching out to you.

Sure.

I think that's fine. You must be tired.

-Is it true our show is getting canceled?
-Apparently.

What do you expect?
The main host is a loser.

He went on Couple's Paradise
and made a complete fool of himself.

It was nice before.

Who'd want him as a son-in-law now
after he got rejected?

Excuse me.

Please watch what you say on set.

Hey, what did you just say?

You shouldn't bad-mouth
Jeong-heon like that.

Let's be honest. He was the reason
this program was started.

Gosh, I'm so scared.

-It's not like what we said isn't true.
-Hey!

Hyeong-taek.

I'm going in.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-You're early.
-Yes.

Stand by, everyone. We'll get started.

All right, we're rolling.

Ready, cue!

Are you having relationship problems?

Bring all your romantic concerns to us!

We'll be your counselor and adviser.

Hey, you're home.

Yes.

Oh. Ki-baek, you're home.

Honey, do your knees still hurt?

Maybe it's going to rain.

Ki-baek, take your umbrella tomorrow.

When your dad's knee hurts,
it always rains the next day.

If it hurts, you should go see a doctor.

Oh, come on.

It's nice not having to check the weather.

-The pain subsides quickly anyway.
-And he has seen a doctor.

Things that were functioning fine
can suddenly break down at our age.

It costs money to see a doctor.
Plus, it's a hassle.

He should've seen one right away.

Accidents can have
long-term complications.

Back then, we couldn't afford it.
You know that.

Did you have dinner?

Should I fix you something to eat?

I ate.

And turn on the lights in the evening.

It's Hanwoo.

We're closed now.

Oh, really?

Well, I saw that the lights were still on.

I'm tidying up now. Sorry.

Want to have a late-night snack?
I'm kind of hungry.

Oh, you have a customer. I'm sorry.

Mom, you have a customer.

We're closed.

What?

But...

Ma'am, we're closed.

I'm sorry.

You wanted a snack?

Yes. How about fried chicken?

Sure.

-Half and half?
-Yup!

All right.

Oh, it's hot. The toast is ready.

I'll have it with some butter.

sh**t. My strawberry jam.

Everyone knows
Butter and strawberry jam go hand in hand


Let's go.

My new strawberry jam.
I'll put some strawberry jam and...

Please make sure to keep that room
out of the frame.

Sure thing.

All right.

Nice.

Now I'll enjoy...

Who's that?

Oh, hey. What's up?

It is nice to see you, friend.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

I'm greeting my friend.

My God.

Jesus Christ.

The shot of him at the door is unusable.
He and I will just talk casually.

Sure.

Just be yourself.

You could never be an actor.

Hey, here.

It's unlike you to buy stuff.

I know, right?

The writers asked me
to pick up snacks you'd like.

Do you even know what I like?

Hey, top student.
You have an amazing memory.

Are these gummy worms yours?

You can't have these
because you ranked 200th in school.

What, 200th?

Edit this out, please.

Hey, why are you revealing my class rank?

You started it.

I called you top student to talk you up.

As if that would catapult me into stardom.

What's this gibberish?

You'd better not touch these.

I guess they're super close.

-Yes.
-Oh, this two-shot is interesting.

Good stuff.

What a weirdo.

PROPOSAL

Restructure the team without Woo-ju,
and you'll get a regular slot.


The series can't continue with Woo-ju.

Let's get some work done.

I can write another show.

I can do this.

DIRECTOR HAN YE-SEUL

Hi, Director Han. It's been a while.

Yes.

Later today? Of course, I'm available.

Okay. See you later, then.

All right.

Hey, get up.

Why?

Will you just sit here and do nothing?

Hey, what's this?

You said you were here to work,
so let's work.

I'm not sure if I can do it.
It's been a while

Nice, okay.

What is this? I have to dance?

Get ready.

You chose your song. This is unfair.

This isn't too bad. Right?

Oh, nice.

Do we really have to do this?

You have to do this
if you want to get paid, all right?

The dance goes perfectly with the song.
This is great.

Move aside
if you don't think you can do it.

It's too hard for you. Move.

You move aside. Let me try.
You think I can't do it?

I'm your raccoon

Even if you call me sly
No matter what you say


You know my song.

-Of course.
-Nice.

I mean, not of course.
But everyone in the country knows it.

You're my adorable chubby chub chub

I'm your strong, muscular man

Wherever we go, we're stars

Shake away, let's have some fun

All they've done is play that game.

What should we do?

All right, cut!

Well, why don't we take a break?

Nice dance. Well done.

I feel like we could use
something else though.

You really can't show us that room?

Like, no way?

Everyone thinks the viewers
would be very curious.

Can you let me take a peek?

Director, we already talked about this.
Why are you being like this?

We're doing this purely for the show.

It's a reality show.

Do people in reality shows
have to shower naked?

They keep their underwear on.
Isn't it just basic privacy protection?

Well, this is different.

It's not like I'm forcing him
to do this sh**t in the room.

I was just asking, that's all.

Everyone has something
they don't want to talk about

or see become the subject of gossip.

I was talking to Jeong-heon.
No need to put me on the spot.

Forget it.

That door will remain closed.

It's nothing to get worked up about.

And you, don't overreact.

Let's play one more round then.

Why don't we continue tomorrow?

You won't get any more useful shots today.

Let's talk.

-But...
-Actually, just leave.

-Seriously?
-Come on.

All you need is sundae
with steamed pork liver.

Why did they tell me to get
so many things?

-You won't even eat these.
-Hey.

Stop distracting me.
Go sit down. I got this.

I was just trying to help.

Go away.

Seriously...

You're a lightweight.
Why do you have so much booze at home?

KAOLIANG LIQUOR

Is this the bottle from that time?

Are you crazy? It's not like we dated.
Why would I still have that bottle?

The one in there costs way more.

What's that?

I stole it from my dad.

Did he hit you again?

Don't ask. It freaking hurts.

He'll hit you again if he finds out.

I don't care.

Can I stay with you for a few days?

-Nope.
-Why not?

Because I feel like he'd beat me up too.

Yeah, right. Bullshit.

Psycho. You're laughing?

Should I cry, then?
Will you let me stay with you if I cry?

Oh, should I act pitiful?

Pitiful, my a*s.

You always do whatever the hell you want.

Hey.

Try living with my dad for a week
and see if you can say that.

Just wait until I make my debut.

I'll be sure to make him regret
treating me like garbage.

The judge who ruthlessly punishes
criminals in court comes home

and beats up his family ruthlessly.

He fractured my brother's ribs
when he was in twelfth grade.

It's embarrassing.

You know I only tell you
these things, right?

My family is so messed up.

Yeah, so is my family.

I'm transferring.

What?

Ever live in a basement apartment?

Are you drunk after one sip?

The creditors might track us down,

so we have to keep moving to neighborhoods
where no one knows us.

And I have to transfer.

Have you ever been on the run?

What the heck are you saying? Weirdo.

I'm telling you my secret too.

You can stay for a drink.

Why would I have a drink with you?
That's absurd.

I'm off.

Let's do a show together.

What kind? Tell me the main concept.
I'll get right on it.

No, no. The writer and I
have it all mapped out.

We want you in the show.

What?

We're launching a YouTube channel,
and we want you as our first guest.

We'll also get a few other people
who were on Couple's Paradise.

What do you think?

You need to reap the benefits
of the show's popularity.

You're the talk of the town.

I'm sorry, Director Han.

I don't think I can do it.

Did you agree to something else?
I'll work around your schedule.

I won't appear on any shows.

This isn't why
I went on Couple's Paradise.

If you need another writer, let me know.

All right, I will.

Hi.

Hey. Shall we have dinner together?

Let's go to that gopchang place.

I'm kind of busy right now.

Sorry, Mom. I'll call you back later.

ANNOUNCER YOON JI-HU

DEAR DAD, THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING ME INTO THIS WORLD

Hey, Ji-hu. I wish you all the best.

Oh, thank you.

Ji-hu, I'm surprised.
I really didn't know you'd quit.

Oh, yeah?

Keep in touch.

Will do.

All right.

SONG KI-BAEK

Hey, I'm at a meeting now.

I'll call you back in a bit.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-It's been a while.
-I know.

The salon is closed for the day.

Come back another time.

Hey, you're home.

You're eating that by yourself?

I've been busted.

Eat up. It's still warm.

Want a drink too?

You were so little and cute,
like a cherry tomato,

but you're all grown up now.

When we first met,

you were about this tall.

I've lived one hell of a life, you know.

I lost my parents at a young age,
and my first love failed.


Then I ended up with the shamanic illness.

It was as if my whole body was
disintegrating every day,


but I couldn't afford to see a doctor.
Not that they could do anything.


The shaman I met that day said to me,

"You're not destined to be a shaman.

You're just fated to die young
because of your shamanic illness."


GRAMOXINE
HERBICIDE

I'm hungry.

I had eaten even though
I was determined to k*ll myself,


but that kid clearly wanted to live,
so what could I do?


I had to feed her.

Thank you.

Just eat your food.

I thought, "I'll just wait until
she finishes her food and go k*ll myself."


But no one was looking for her,

and she had no one to look for.

"Okay, just one more meal.

Then I'll go and do
what I'd set out to do."


"Just one more meal."

Thank you for the food!

"Just one more meal."

"For one last time."

There, it's done.

Wow!

One, two, three.

Here, this is for you.

Thank you.

So that's why I'm still alive,

thanks to my daughter, Woo-ju.

Which is why I'm so grateful to the woman

who birthed you

and sent you to me.

You said she had
a big birthmark on her hand.

You finished all the booze.

I'll go get more.

We got a regular slot
for
Couple's Paradise,

and we'd love it if you could join.

It's a good idea.
And it's a win-win for both of us.

I guess Woo-ju will be very busy
for a while.

Oh, I guess you didn't know.

Woo-ju has completely left the team.

That was the condition
for the regular slot.

And Woo-ju decided to leave.

POOPY KI-BAEK:
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

I'M WORKING

You're working at a playground?

Man, look at you lying
to someone who can't lie.

How mean.

Well, I was just...

Did something happen?

No.

Well, it's a beautiful night.

How about a date?

Sure.

-Want to check out this place?
-Sure.

It looks nice.

Oh! That's Song Ki-baek.

Isn't she that writer?

-Is it her?
-I think so.

-Let's go somewhere else.
-What?

Come on.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-How dare she reject Jeong-heon?
-I know.

I hate On Woo-ju.

-Who does she think she is?
-She's insane.

She's so annoying.

Three servings of tteokbokki, please.

-And some fish cakes.
-Looks good.

-Right? Look at that color.
-It looks so good.

-It looks amazing.
-I wanted something spicy.

Really? Why?

I see why paparazzi catch
celebrity couples

at their homes or in parking lots.

Let's just go home.

No, let's find a place
with no one else around.

Okay, let's go.

-Where are we going?
-Just come with me.

It's usually pretty quiet here at night.

I used to come here to jog.

It really is quiet.

Oh, right. Did the sh**t go well?

The one with Jeong-heon.

Not really.

-We almost got into a fight.
-Why?

Maybe not really a fight.

Anyway, it's a long story.
I'll tell you another time.

But you guys did the sh**t, right?

Yeah, I think they got enough shots of me.

And I'm sure
Jeong-heon knows what he's doing.

He's good at this stuff.

How about you, Woo-ju?

How was it?

-How was what?
-Just everything.

Are you okay?

Well, yeah. I'm pretty okay.

Hey...

If you're not okay, just say so.

When you're hurting or stressed,
it's okay to say so.

All right.

You don't have to bawl your eyes out,
but you can vent.

If I cry and vent,
will that change anything?

Hey.

I'm okay. What's with you?

Why do you always say you're okay?

You can just tell me, you know.

I know how you feel.

I'm grateful to have you,
to know someone's got my back.

So...

I really am okay.

Not now. I mean...

Well, you see...

Mr. Song is just...

I know. You guys live together, right?

I found out while gathering info
on the cast.

You two weren't family,

and you said you'd rented out
the second floor of your house,

so I figured that was it.

Yes, you're spot on.

But seeing how flustered he is,
maybe you two are

more than just landlord and tenant.

Well, he's quirky, you know.
He's like that every time I run into him.

Hello, Mr. Song!

Oh, yes. Hello.

It's been a while, I-na.

Oh, hello.

You must be very busy these days.
Congrats.

Thank you.

I don't really have
anything to do right now,

but I should go inside.

Hold on. I-na, what brings you here...

-Mr. Song, aren't you busy?
-I have nothing going on today.

What?

No.

There's something
we've been doing together for a while.

Want to join us?

I'm sorry. I don't think we can produce
the special episode of Couple's Paradise.

Why not?

I can't persuade them to join.
They're all so famous now.

I mean, we might still be able to,
if you could help me persuade them.

By the way, you and Ki-baek are
on good terms, aren't you?

Pardon me?

You talk about him a lot
during your live broadcasts.

Right.

Yes, we are.

I'm just going to be honest.

I talked to him on the phone.

He said he'd never do anything with you.

I see.

Where should I put this? Okay.

Goodness.

Did you have to tag along?

Well, I had nothing to do,
and this is a good deed.

It might seem suspicious if you're
seen together, but not with me.

And there won't be a lot of people.

There's nothing to suspect.

Go on. I'll follow you.

Take your time.

All right.

-Hello!
-Oh, hello.

-You should've said no.
-Hi, I-na.

But how? I didn't want to say no.

I should've just punched you right away.

You're quite violent.

Since you're here,

stay focused on why you're here
and just do laundry.

Just do laundry. Okay, here.

Should I take this?

Call me if you want to sneeze.

Will do.

Man, seriously. For God's sake.

LAUNDRY LOUNGE

Can you wash this too?

Sure thing!

Thank you.

Guess she hasn't washed this in a while.

Look, the water is turning murky. Nice.

Stop staring at me and wash that thing.

We're here to work.

Okay.

We're done!

Why are you grinning?

Because you're pretty.

Well, it's not like
I'm not pretty on other days.

Are you going to say that
every time you see me?

I like you more
because you're pretty every day.

I brought food.

Oh, that's...

The ladies over there said
we should all eat together.

I told them you'd eat separately.

Oh, okay.

I'll eat with them.

Okay.

I thought you'd need this.

Oh, right. Yes.

Enjoy your meal.

What does I-na like?

I'll talk to her. It will be okay.

Anyway, what is this?

Oh, this...

KI-BAEK AND CHO-HUI
THE FINAL DATE

QUIT YOUR BAKERY
AND SHOW US KI-BAEK

SHE ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT
SONG KI-BAEK, BUT HE IGNORES HER

SHE STUDIED ABROAD, SERIOUSLY?

WHY DOES SHE GET
SO MUCH MEDIA COVERAGE?

KIM JU-YEON:
CHO-HUI, DID YOU SEE THIS?

This is nice.

I come here sometimes to help them
with their laundry and camp.

But why laundry?
There are other volunteer opportunities.

Some seniors struggle with laundry.
This way they can sleep on clean bedding.

When you do laundry,
your hard work doesn't betray you,

and you can see the results.
That's why I like it.

Yesterday...

I wanted to comfort you.

I just wanted to do something
for you, anything.

I was a little hurt.

You kept saying you were okay,
with a smile on your face.

But now that I've spent the whole day
with you here, I've realized...

that just being together makes you smile.

It's my favorite face, my favorite smile.

You're not smiling because of me.

On Woo-ju has to smile
because she wants to.


Enjoy!

Whether you want to smile or cry,
the decision should come from you.


On Woo-ju,
you look really pretty when you smile.

But you look very pretty
even when you're not smiling.

So just do what you want.

Smile when you want to,
and cry when you feel like it.

I'll be right by your side,
just like today.

It's fine if you want to say you're okay.

And it's fine
if you want to say you're not okay.

The stars look really pretty here.

Come on. Not as pretty as On Woo-ju.

I saw my mom.

My biological mother.

My mother who abandoned me.

And I've decided to leave
the Couple's Paradise team.

Everything will be all right
now that I've left the team.

But I...

I'm not okay at all.

I'm tired.

I should go to bed.

Can you sing me a lullaby?

When the mother goes to the isle

To pick oysters

The baby is left alone

In the house

Listening to the lullaby

From the sea

The baby

Falls asleep

Even though the baby

Is fast asleep

What the...

Oh... You woke up.

You shouldn't see that. It's...

YEON
WHAT IS GOING ON?

What?

What...

What?

COUPLE'S PARADISE!
EVERYTHING WAS A LIE?!

COUPLE'S PARADISE WAS ALL A LIE

FRANKLY SPEAKING

Mom! They say Couple's Paradise
was all rigged.

Let's discuss what we're going to do.

Is it true our show may not continue?

On Woo-ju is the crazy b*tch.

He's been reporting the haters
and replying to the comments.


Does Un-baek like you?

Do you like him too?

Should I just retire?
Can I call myself successful?


You must have an interview to explain it.

Are you and Ms. On Woo-ju together?

Mr. An.

The switch is gone.
