[Theory of Love]

Marry me.

Until death do us part.

I asked her to marry me.

You’re my friend,
so please open up to her.

I’m giving her a chance

because I want to see
if she can actually change.

- Ouch.
- Bua.

You’re drunk. I’ll take you home.

Did Namhom really go back last
night to get her ring, Bua?

Yes, don’t overthink it.

I know what to do
to find out the truth.

Fon.

Were you looking through my phone?

No, I was tidying up
and it was about to fall.

So I moved it.

Don’t touch my stuff again.
I don’t like it.

You could say it nicely.
No need to get upset.

You’re acting like there’s something
on your phone I shouldn’t see.

Your favorite.

Don't bother trying to impress me.

All this time,

I opened up to you

and kept an open mind.

But in the end,

you made me realize

that someone like you

can never change.

From now on, leave me alone.

Do you hate me that much?

Why don’t we start dating?

Are you crazy?

Do you even hear yourself?

Yes, I know exactly what I’m saying.

Do you?

If I show Fon this photo,

what do you think will happen?

No matter what you tell her,

she’ll never believe you.

Do you know why?

Because if she did,

she wouldn’t be with me right now,
would she?

Fine.

I’ll date you.

But you have to break up
with Fon first.

Why? Don’t want to be
the other woman?

You want to be my one and only?

Right.

Hey.

Don’t flatter yourself.

You’re not worth that much.

Then why?

Why?

Fon, I’m worried about you.

So what did you do?

I secretly installed a tracking app
on Namhom's phone.

Did you know

she put a tracking app
on your phone?

She knows exactly

where you are and what you’re doing.

Now do you see

that my friend never really
trusted you?

So no matter what I say,

she’s going to break up with you
once she learns the truth.

That photo you’re
using to threaten me...

It’s useless now, isn’t it?

Fon.

We should break up.

What?

You secretly installed a tracking
app on my phone, didn’t you?

I don’t want to hear
any more of your excuses.

The truth is, you don’t trust me
and you never will.

Our relationship is too toxic.

It’s only going to get worse.

We’ll just end up divorced anyway.

No. I won’t break up.

But I want to. I’m done.

Let go.

- No, Namhom. I'm sorry.
- Let go.

I'm sorry. I’ll never do it again.
Please, Namhom.

Let go of me.

No.

- Let go of me.
- If we ever part,

let it be only because
death separates us.

Let go.

Do you know how many times
you’ve said you’d stop?

If you’re not going to listen to me,

then you can go die alone.

I broke up with Fon.

Fon.

Fon!

Why are you doing this?

It’s my fault.

I couldn’t keep her.

You still have me.

I'm here, aren't I?

It's not your fault.

I'm here for you.
Everything is going to be fine.

No.

Go to sleep.

If you get too stressed,

your old symptoms will come back.

Thank you so much.

You showed up just in time,
almost like you knew

what I was about to do.

I’m your friend.

Friends stick together.

It’ll be hard

at first.

You might still miss her.

But with time,

you’ll get better.

Bua.

Can I ask you for a favor?

If Namhom still wants
to work with you,

please give her a chance.

I’ve been supporting her
financially.

So if she has to live
on her own again,

at least she won't have a hard time.

I’m sure she’s not really alone.

Well...

She broke up with you.

She will date

someone else.

Who knows...

She might have already moved on.

Hold on.

Don’t forget to keep your promise.

Come on in.

Namhom.

I hope

you’ll leave my friend alone.

Let her meet someone
who actually deserves her.

Okay.

I promise.

And the photo?

I deleted it.

Where are you going?

Are you backing out on your promise
after you’ve gotten what you wanted?

I just need some time.

I just made my friend sad.
What more do you want?

Bua.

You might think I asked you out
to tease you,

but that’s not the case.

When we slept together,

it wasn’t a mistake.

It was intentional.

I know it was wrong,

but I couldn’t stop myself.

I'm sorry.

Let me ask you something.

Do you think...

if we got together,

we would actually last?

You broke up with Fon,
but she still loves you.

She’ll never be able to accept this.

I don’t want
to think about the future.

Right now,
I just want to be with you.

Will you stay with me?

What's up?

How’s Namhom? Is she doing okay?

Well...

She’s fine.

Thank you for giving her a chance.

At least I’ll know how she’s doing
through you.

Fon.

If you keep this up,

you’ll never be able to move on.

I don’t want to move on yet.
I’m still hoping she’ll come back.

I have to get back to work.

Talk to you later.

- All good?
- Yes.

We need to brief her.

- Okay, I'll do that.
- Sure.

We’ll do as we discussed.

Here you are. I was about
to call you over.

Sit down.

You’ve already seen the product.

I want you

to act naturally.

And yes...

I just want a few shots
at the beginning.

That’s it.

Did the team send this to you?

All right, do your best.
Break a leg.

You're amazing.

Hey.

I’m sorry. It was an accident.

But you need to be more careful.

If it’s dangerous,

don’t get close.

Guys.

Please take care of her.
We'll take a break.

Namhom, let’s talk outside.

- You did that on purpose.
- Yes.

Because she was flirting with you.

I could tell right away
because I’ve done that myself.

Don’t assume everyone is like you.

No one said anything
when you did it,

so why are you bothered
when someone else does it?

I wouldn’t care if she flirted
with anyone else,

but she was flirting with you.

I’m your girlfriend.
I have feelings too.

But here, you’re my subordinate.

It doesn’t matter how upset you are.
You can't behave like this.

If you can’t control yourself,
then go home.

Don’t cause a scene.

Fine.

Come to my place when you’re done.

Did something happen
at work today?

I’m spying on her at her place.
She didn’t go out.

Did she go to work today?

Now you’re spying on her
at her place?

Like I said,
I’m not ready to move on yet.

I don't know.

She said

she was taking a half day.
I don't know what's up.

Wait, hold on.

Bua.

I know what's up.

She’s already moved on
with someone else.

I told you to move on.

I have to go.

Get out now.

You’ve got some nerve

to pull this on me.

Why not?
You did it to me first.

You let that girl flirt with you,

and you even defended her.

- Come here.
- Ouch.

Bua.

- Come here.
- Bua.

Come here.

Bua.

- Let go!
- Think I’m going to let it go?

Let go, Bua.

- Let go.
- No.

Let go!

Ouch.

Remember.

I am not a good person,
like my friend.

- Bua, let go.
- If you date me and do this,

then this is what you’ll get.

Let go!

For some people,
no matter how good you are to them,

if they’re not grateful,

they’ll never treat you
the same way.

I still believe my goodness
can change her.

And what if it can’t?

- No, Namhom. I'm sorry.
- Let go.

If we ever part, let it be only
because death separates us.

Then you can go die alone.

Bua, she’s already moved on
with someone else.

Hello?

Hey, is your girlfriend okay?

The neighbor heard arguing,
and now it’s gone quiet.

I knocked, but no one answered.

Can you check on her?

Okay, I’m on my way.

Namhom.

I don’t know how to love anyone.

But I think you do.

If you’re going to love someone,

they must be really good to you.

Fon.

Thank you

for doing all that for me.

Let’s be together.
I’ll be that person for you.

Namhom!

Namhom.

Are you all right?

Fon.

It's okay.

I'm here.

All right?

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

It's okay. I'm here for you.

Are you hurt?

I'm sorry.

For what?

I should be the one apologizing.

What happened to you
was partly my fault.

If I hadn’t upset you
and if we hadn’t broken up,

you wouldn’t have gone out with him.

None of this would’ve happened.

Can I ask you something?

I know it’s not the right time,

but maybe

your answer will help me understand
what’s in my heart.

Did you ever love me?

Even though I once told you...

if loving me is too hard,
then don’t do it.

But deep down, I still hoped

that you would love me.

Of course I do.

Especially after everything
that’s happened,

I realized how much I love you.

Then stop apologizing

and let’s get back together.

If you still love me,

let’s start over.

I promise I’ll do better.

I should be the one

saying that.

If I ever get to be
your girlfriend again,

I’ll be a better person.

If anything makes you uncomfortable,

I won’t do it again.

But I won’t go back.

Why not?

Because the person I’m seeing now
won’t accept that.

I decided to commit.

Please let me make my own choices.

Aoy and Chod.

Back then, I didn’t know who
Namhom was seeing

or why she acted like she couldn’t
break up with that person,

even though they had
probably just met.

But I felt like

I had to do something
to find out the truth.

Excuse me.

May I see the CCTV footage?

I want evidence of the guy
who hurt my girlfriend.

I don't think it's a guy.

What?

The neighbor said it was a woman.

Look.

Are you sure this is the person?

Other than you, she’s the only one
who comes by often.

What did you say?

That’s what I heard.

Namhom told Bua
that she’s her girlfriend.

How is that possible?

Namhom’s dating Fon.

And Fon is Bua’s friend.

That’s right.

I can’t believe Bua would do this
to her own friend.

Oh man.

Did she hear us?

What's up?

Bua.

Your friend Fon came to the studio,

and she overheard us talking about
you and Namhom dating.

What?

Finally,

I found out the whole truth.

The person she’s dating
isn’t a guy like I thought.

It’s my best friend.

Fon.

I’m your friend.

I just don’t want
to see you get hurt.

Fon!

Fon.

Why are you doing this?

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

The two people I loved the most,

the two people
I tried my hardest for,

worked together and betrayed me.

[Operating Room]

How is my friend?

The injuries from the accident
aren’t serious,

but the reason
she lost consciousness

is that her blood pressure
was extremely high.

It caused her to have a stroke.

We performed surgery
to remove the clot.

She should wake up
within 24 to 48 hours,

but we need to monitor her closely.

How did this happen?

Based on her medical history,
she’s been at risk for a while now.

The probable cause is stress.

Please excuse me.

You should go in.

Hey.

How are you?

Don’t worry about that.

I want to hear your excuse.

What did I ever do to you

for you to do
something like that to me?

You didn’t.

You never did anything wrong to me.

Then answer me.

Why did you do it?

You were the friend
I loved and trusted the most.

I have no excuse.

Even if I tried to explain,

nothing I say would change anything.

I know

you don’t want to be
my friend anymore,

but let me take care of you

until you recover.

And...

After that,

I’ll accept whatever you decide

even if you still don’t want
to be friends.

Are you sure you’re not going
to make any excuses?

Then I can make my decision
right now.

Don’t take care of me.

Your duty

is over.

Thank you

for making me realize

that my goodness can’t win
anyone’s heart.

Aoy and Chod.

Why did my goodness lose
to everything?

Why can’t my goodness
win anyone’s heart,

not even the people I love most?

I want you to understand
and accept the truth.

In any relationship,

nothing is guaranteed.

Being good to someone doesn’t mean
they’ll love you back.

Goodness and love
aren’t the same thing.

And sometimes, the real problem

is that we give our goodness
to the wrong person.

But I don’t want you to lose faith
in being a good person.

What matters most
is being good to yourself.

Don’t let anyone hurt you

just because they failed
to see your worth.

I believe there are many good people
out there who deserve you.

We’re all rooting for you.

Hello.

Hello, I’m calling from the daycare.

You called about transferring
your child to our center.

We have a vacant spot now.

Would you like to confirm it?

Yes.

All right.

Thank you. Bye.

The new daycare is confirmed.

Please sign the documents.

I’ll continue to support your child.

I’m not doing this for you.

I’m doing it for the child,

someone I believe
will value my goodness.

[Baan Fah Mai Childcare Center]

Hello.

I signed the power of attorney
for you.

Doing good brings good,
but not necessarily love.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

He gives me a gift and a card
on every occasion.

All he lacks is a clear verbal
confirmation of who I am to him.

They say it takes time
to truly get to know someone.

So I should be able to wait, right?

Are you two together?

Sandy was a junior at school.

I like you.

You like her, don't you?

We’ve known each other
for ten years.

Almost ten years...
what was all of that?

What am I to you?

Did you fall?

It was really bad.

Then you can die alone.

Wow.

You're so weak.

Why are you doing this?

Cut.

Amazing.

Cut.

She's sleeping.

Action.

Oh no.
