Post by bunniefuu »

["Charleston Boogie"
by Little Violet playing]

[narrator] Previously,
on Love Like a K-Drama...


[Ji Hyuk] Okay, so the thing is,

I think I'm starting to develop
real feelings for Rio,


so I'd like to get to know her better.

I'd really like to pair up with Rio.

[narrator] Ji Hyuk's feelings for Rio
are growing.


There is someone I want to pair up with.

I figured this would happen.

[Rio] This is crazy.

[Rio] I ended up
talking with Dong Kyu a lot,


and, well, I think he's pretty adorable.

I guess I really like him.

[narrator] Rio has a crush on Dong Kyu,

who is already getting serious
with Nozomi.


[Nozomi] What does the sunflower signify
in Korean culture?


All right, I'll tell you.
In Korea, it means...

"I have eyes only for you."

[Won Shik] Being with Honoka
just feels comfortable.


[narrator] Over the course of filming,

Won Shik has fallen in love with Honoka.

[Honoka] Won Shik. He's not actually...

the guy I'm most interested in.

Tae Gyun.

I think I'm interested in him.
Actually, I think I have a crush on him.


[Won Shik] Honestly, it upsets me.

I hope we'll get the chance
to pair up again.

I think I will choose someone else.

["Charleston Boogie" continues playing]

When we paired up for Episode 1,

I thought you were funny and really sweet.

[narrator] And Ayano
also has feelings for Tae Gyun.


[Yuko] Ayano and Tae Gyun will get to star
in the next episode.

Congratulations. Great work.

[Honoka] Seriously?

[narrator] The drama on screen and off
is really starting to heat up.


Welcome back to Love Like a K-Drama.

[whoops]

Last time, Ayano and Tae Gyun
got the lead roles in Episode 3,

so today we're going to start
with the filming.


[a-chan] Finally!

[Hayato] Ayano is interested in Tae Gyun,
sure, but how does he feel about her?


[Shusuke] Exactly.

-Right, does Tae Gyun like her or not?
-[Shusuke] Yeah.

I want to see what happens
after the drama,

after they've filmed together,
after they've had to kiss.

That's exactly it. As we've already seen,

their feelings are gonna become clear
after they've had their scenes together.

-[Haruna] You're right.
-Yep. Let's see.

[Shusuke] All right.

DRAMA EPISODE 3

[narrator] Episode 3, "Love Sketch"

THE PAINTER
AYANO

[in Korean] Really?

[narrator] Ayano,
a painter working in Korea,


falls in love with Tae Gyun,
when he visits her gallery.


THE MAN AYANO FALLS FOR
TAE GYUN

Tae Gyun is attracted to Ayano,
but for some reason,


he's holding himself back
from getting serious with her.


[gentle music playing]

Will their love story have a happy ending?

[Ayano] Hi, everyone. Hello.

[Shusuke] They're starting with
the read through.


[Yong Sun in Korean]
I hope we can have a good time.

[translator in Japanese]
I hope we can have a good time.

[in English] So do I.

[Yong Sun] It's your second time.
Let's do our best.

-Okay.
-[translator] It's Tae Gyun's second time,

so let's do our best.

DRAMA DIRECTOR JO YONG SUN

The protagonist is a painter
who is trying to achieve her dreams.

I want you to show me

a character who is full of confidence.

[in English] Okay.

[Yong Sun] Right, let's read
through the script.

[Tae Gyun] Right.

[Yong Sun] From scene one.

[translator] Go ahead, please.

[Yong Sun] At the gallery, Ayano is...

Wait, before we move on...

[translator] Yes?

[Yong Sun] I changed
the character's name to "Ayano."

[translator] Yes, understood. No problem.

[Yong Sun] Okay, good.

[Maria] They even changed
the name of the character.


[Yong Sun]
This gallery is Ayano's gallery.

[translator]
This gallery is apparently Ayano's.

[Yong Sun] I think this scene
has implications that describe the way

Tae Gyun appears from Ayano's perspective.

[translator] The way Tae Gyun appears
from Ayano's perspective...

Okay.

[gentle soft music playing]

[Yong Sun] Ready, action.

You seem really into this painting.

Yeah. [chuckles softly]

I just think it's weird.

[Tae Gyun] They're kissing,
but they both have their eyes open.

Do you wanna make sure?

[a-chan] They're filming already.

Huh? How?

[Yong Sun chuckles softly]

[Yong Sun] You can't anticipate the kiss.

[Yong Sun chuckling]

Did I approach her? Ah.

[Tae Gyun] Huh?

[yawns]

[chuckles]

Ah...

[a-chan] He's so thoughtful.

Thank you.

Ah! Ouch. That hurts.

[studio cast laughs]

[Ayano] I'm attracted to him, sure.

Very attracted, actually.

I feel so relaxed when I'm with him.

But I can't tell
if he feels the same way I do.

Or if it's just in my head.

I don't understand Tae Gyun at all.

He's like a strange animal or something.
[chuckles]

But on the other hand,

my birthday is at the end of May,

and he gave me this pair of pants
as a present

when the cameras weren't rolling.

These ones that I'm wearing now.

[chuckles softly]

He sent me a text message
and it said something like,

"I left a present for you
outside the door to my room."

"Come by and pick it up."

It's a pretty unique gift, right?

Special.

But did he do it just to be nice,
or because he has feelings for me?

I have no idea.

-[Shusuke] I'd be confused too.
-[a-chan] Yeah.

What's he trying to say?

Giving someone pants
as a birthday gift is a weird choice.

-And putting them outside his own room...
-[Haruna] Right?

"Come get them."
[chuckles]

[Yong Sun]
You get up and take off the shirt...

[narrator in English] This drama
also features a passionate kissing scene


between the two lovers
as they tumble into bed together.


[Yong Sun] We're going to cut
in the middle of your intense kiss.

Okay.

[Yong Sun] Are you okay?

Sure.

[Yong Sun] You only strip above the waist.

Okay.

[background chatter]

[laughs]

[groans]

[sighs]

[stylist in Korean]
If you want to exercise, do it now.

I'll do your hair soon.

[Tae Gyun] I'm all set.

[translator in Japanese]
Let's do another test run.

[Yong Sun] Sure.

[translator] And the actors switch places.

[Shusuke] That's intense.

[Yong Sun] Unbutton his shirt,
unbutton it.

[translator] Unbutton his shirt.

-[studio cast oohing]
-[a-chan] I'm blushing.

[Yong Sun] Let's try sh**ting once.

-[translator] We're doing it for real now.
-[Ayano] Okay.

[Yong Sun] Good luck, Tae Gyun!

You tired? Are you tired?

-[in Japanese] I'm okay.
-[laughs]

-[in Korean] Are you tired?
-[in Japanese] I'm okay.

[Maria laughing]

[Haruna] What does that face mean?

[Yong Sun] All right. Ayano.

[over radio]
We'll start rolling if everyone's ready.

[Yong Sun in English]
Action.

[gentle piano music playing]

[narrator] The final scene.

The protagonist is honest
with the man she loves


and with herself.

She shares her feelings with a kiss.

Thanks.

[Yong Sun in Korean]
When everything's ready, we'll start.

[indistinct background chatter]

Get ready to sh**t.

Okay.

[in English]
Ready.

And, action.

[Ayano] I first met him three months ago.

He had this bright smile on his face.

[cheery piano tune]

[Tae Gyun chuckles softly]

TAE GYUN [RESTAURANT OWNER]

AYANO [PAINTER]

You seem really into this painting.

Yeah. I just think it's weird.

[Tae Gyun] They're kissing,
but they both have their eyes open.

[whispers] I bet this artist
has never kissed anybody before

and thinks we won't notice.

You think so?

Okay. In that case, you wanna make sure?

Huh? How would we do that?

[romantic musical progression]

[cheeky music playing]

How about now?

You still wanna bet on it?

You're, um...

Yeah.

You got kissed by the painter herself.

[Ayano] And from that day on,
we grew closer and closer


and we eventually fell in love.

Hey, you wanna go to Japan this weekend?

Why Japan?

Well my father lives there
and I really want you to meet him.

Does he know about my daughter?

That I'm raising her as a single father?

[Ayano] No.

But I think he'll be able
to understand you.

He pretty much raised me
all on his own too.

Why?

Do you not wanna meet my father?

Ayano.

There's something that I need to tell you.

You're young and you're so beautiful,

there's a better man than me out there
somewhere who's just waiting for you.

It's for the best.

You and I are worlds apart.

What?

What do you mean?

So what? Our relationship...
that was just some game to you?

Of course not, Ayano.

Fine.

You don't have to go if you don't want to.

[door opens]

[door slams]

[mellow music]

[Ayano] After that,
we didn't see each other


for a very long time.

[Nozomi] Is it ready?

-[Ayano] It's ready and it smells amazing.
-All right, here we go.

-[women squealing]
-Oh, wow!

-[Ayano] This sukiyaki looks so good.
-It's just like they make it in Japan.

Isn't it? Well, let's dig in.

Wait a sec.

-We have to take a photo.
-[Honoka] Oh, obviously.

Here we go. Say cheese!

[camera clicking]

-[Ayano] Oh, that's great.
-Nice!

-[Nozomi] Looking good.
-Now we can really eat.

[all] Thank you for this meal!

-Let's eat.
-Hey! Oh, wow. It smells so good!

Looks delicious.

-[Nozomi] Hm. So good.
-[hums in delight]

Hey, Ayano. What's with the picture?

Is it your ex-boyfriend?

-Hm...
-[Nozomi] Oh, okay. I get it.

-[Ayano] Maybe.
-[Nozomi chuckles]

Huh. I know I never met the guy,
but I feel like I've seen him somewhere.

Oh, I remember!

[Nozomi] When I went back
to Japan last week!

He was at your dad's place.
That's where I saw him.

What? You saw him at my father's?

Wearing a suit, yeah,
and he had this huge present with him too.

Oh, okay.

[pensive music playing]

[deep inhale]

So, how old is your little girl then?

She's four now.

[Ayano's father chuckles]
That's the cutest age.

They bounce back quickly,
but as we age, we get more sensitive.

To tell you the truth...

I raised my daughter alone too,

just like you're doing
with your little girl.

Ayano, she... she told me, sir.

Did she now?

Well...

in that case,
this shouldn't be quite so hard.

As Ayano's father,

I know better than anyone
how much she's been hurting.

I'm not sure I can forgive you for that.

[Ayano's father chuckles softly]
You've had a long journey,

let me offer you a bowl of noodles.

Okay.

Thank you so much, sir.

[soft music playing]

[Tae Gyun slurping noodles]

[crying]

[sniffles]

[crying]

[sighs]

[Ayano] And just like that,
without even saying goodbye,


our relationship was over.

[woman] Come on, this way.

Hey.

What do you think of it?

My dad's up there.

What?

[bright music playing]

[Ayano] Hey, why were you
in the gallery that day anyway?


It was for my daughter.
She wants to be a painter, like you.

I was hoping to take her sometime,
so I went to check it out.

[hopeful music playing]

[Ayano] You seem
really into this painting.

[surprised scoff]

Ayano...

What are you doing here?

I wanted to make sure.

[romantic music playing]

I missed you terribly, Tae Gyun.

And you?

Me too.

[song ends]

[Yong Sun] Cut.

[crew in Korean] Cut, it's a cut.

Hey, you okay?

Oh yeah, I'm fine.

[both chuckling]

[uplifting music playing]

[Maria] I wonder what she's thinking.

[studio cast exclaims]

[narrator] Did their romance blossom
behind the scenes


like it did on camera?

[Haruna] Oh! He looks emotional.

I didn't think I'd feel much
sh**ting a kissing scene with Ayano.

But when we did, it was pretty nice.

[Maria] Oh, that's good news!

She's the woman
I feel most comfortable with.

We're so relaxed.

And for two days now...

we've been kissing. So, you know?

[studio cast laughing]

QUESTION:
WHY DID YOU GIVE AYANO THAT PRESENT?

How do you know about that?

Seriously, how?

SHE SHOWED US YOUR MESSAGE

Oh, okay. That's how you know.

Okay, all right. I get it.

[Shusuke] Aw, he was trying to
keep it a secret.


It's kind of embarrassing.

I thought if I gave her a present
before we started filming,

she'd be in a good mindset.

You know, make sure that
we're both feeling positive

going into the sh**t.

So the chemistry would feel more real
and more natural.

So there's that.

And I also just wanted to.
[chuckles]

[a-chan] What a cutie.

-[crew in Korean] Good work today.
-Oh, thanks a lot.

-[crew thanking in Korean]
-[chuckles]

[laughs]

[Maria] Poor guy is tired.

[Haruna] He likes her.

[Maria] He's so cute.

Way to go, Tae Gyun. Nice.

He's starting to have feelings for her.

-He's so pure.
-[Hayato] When you kiss someone...

You just know, yes.

All that uncertainty you had
about your feelings, it becomes love.

So this means we've got
two couples who look promising.

I have to wonder though,
what was Honoka thinking

when she saw Tae Gyun
in that kissing scene?

It was so intense.

It must've been awful for her.

I mean, she was there when they shot it.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Oh, that's bright.

Hi, everyone!

Hello. Hi.

[Nozomi] Can you see?

[Honoka] Yeah.

[Maria] This is the first thing
they're watching?


This is wild.

So, how does all this make you feel?

What do you mean?

-You know. The scenery.
-[laughs]

You're talking about their...

this scene they have coming up, right?

Well... I'm curious.

[Yong Sun in Korean] I see someone's head
in the shot. Who is that?

[gentle music playing]

[in English] And... action.

Action.

[gentle music continues playing]

Cut. Cut.

[indistinct comment in Korean]

[overlapping chatter]

[Yong Sun] I think that was good.

[staff] Take five.

How do you feel now?

Hm. I don't know.

I really don't know.

Or maybe it's more like
I'm getting confused.

It's like I've gone full circle.

Oh, okay. Right.

You were starting to feel excited,
but then you felt...

Alone. Yeah.

[chuckles]

It's not easy.

[Honoka] It's good
they're getting along though.

[laughing]

[Maria] I get it.

You think about him kissing someone else
and you're like, "No big deal."


You don't usually see the person you like
doing a kissing scene.

NOZOMI:
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS UP TO?

-[Haruna] Oh.
-[a-chan] Oh.

[a-chan] She texting the guys?

DONG KYU:
JUST EATING AND SLEEPING AT HOME

DONG KYU:
WON SHIK AND JI HYUK ARE OUT

NOZOMI:
YOU DIDN'T GO WITH THEM?

DONG KYU: WON SHIK WANTED TO TALK
TO HIM IN PRIVATE

[studio cast confused exclaims]

NOZOMI:
ABOUT WHAT, I WONDER

[Shusuke] Alone with Ji Hyuk?

[a-chan] Maybe he needs
advice or something.


Oh? Wait a second. Dong Kyu and...

[Hayato] Hold on. Hold on a second here!

[a-chan] Good. A chance for them to talk.

[Haruna] Yeah.

[phone thuds]

[gentle music playing]

[Rio] I'm so embarrassed.

I don't even want him to look at me.
[chuckles]

Yeah.

When I...

[hesitates]

So for me, when I'm interested in someone,

I can't look at them anymore.

Now that I think about it, I bet
the reason I talked to him the least

out of the four guys is because
I was avoiding him all this time.

She likes him!

[Maria] You can just tell.

That's huge.

[Haruna] Absolutely.

RIO:
WHEN WILL THE OTHERS COME HOME?

RIO:
WHAT WILL WE HAVE FOR DINNER?

[Hayato exclaims]

[Haruna] Are the two of them
going out for dinner?


[upbeat music playing]

So, how have you been doing?

Uh, it's complicated.

I really can't tell
how Rio feels about anything.

[Ji Hyuk] She doesn't show it.

[Won Shik] Well, to be fair,

you haven't really been clear
about how you feel.

I've been trying to give her space

but I have no idea what she wants.

[Maria] He's respecting her feelings.

But now she's running off.
She's off exploring.

[Rio] It's just that...

[sighs]

It's like, okay... Nozomi and Dong Kyu
have paired up before,

so he probably wants to
pair up with her again, and I get that.

So...

I feel like getting between them...

wouldn't be the right thing to do.

But at the same time,
we're here to challenging ourselves,

professionally and personally.
I want to give it a shot with him.

[a-chan] She's going to go for him?

RIO:
LAST TIME WE DECIDED THE PAIRS...

RIO:
I ALSO WENT TO THE FLOWER SHOP

You went too?

[Rio] Mm-hmm.

No way.

-[Rio] I did.
-You're lying.

[Dong Kyu] Come on.

Mm-mm.

RIO:
I WENT TO BUY FLOWERS AND MET NOZOMI!

[chuckles]

RIO: I LOST!

[laughs]

No way.

What happens now?

[Won Shik] I think about that every night.

I tell you, a woman's heart is a mystery.

[Haruna] That's a lot of wine.

Look, Ji Hyuk, I have to tell you.

After we chose the pairs for Episode 3,

you know, I was feeling
pretty bad about it.

But one of the women...

well, she was able to cheer me up

even though I know that wasn't
what she was trying to do.

[Ji Hyuk] Who?

Well, I... I can't tell you.

You can tell me.
Come on, it's just the two of us.

My lips are sealed.

[Haruna] Who?

[Maria] Rio?

You won't tell?

Nozomi...

[Haruna] What? Nozomi?

[Won Shik] Nozomi came to see me.

Nozomi?

[Won Shik] Yeah.

[Haruna] Nozomi and Dong Kyu
are in trouble.


I think she's great.

-Really?
-Yeah. Listen,

I know who she's interested in.

She's fallen for Dong Kyu.

-[Ji Hyuk] Yeah, I think so.
-Right.

[Won Shik] And I totally respect that.

You kept it secret.

[Won Shik] Exactly.

All four of them are great,

but Nozomi's smile has captured my heart
and won't let go.

[Haruna] Oh, he's in love.

[a-chan] He's falling for her!

I just hope it works out.

You just do what your heart
tells you, man. You got this.

There are risks for sure...

but be true to your feelings.

I'm gonna try.

It's a tough road, but I'm gonna walk it.

[upbeat rock music playing]

[Haruna] Oh!

[Dong Kyu speaking in Japanese]

[Rio laughs]

-[Hayato] Oh!
-[a-chan] Oh, they did go out.

[Shusuke] Seriously?

[Hayato] Looking good!

♪ Turn it up and hit the lights ♪

♪ We wanna feel alive! ♪

[indistinct conversation]

♪ We're doing fine ♪

[Rio] Thank you!

RIO:
YOU'RE GOOD AT THIS

I'm crazy for trying.

[chuckles]

Busy! [laughs]

[Ji Hyuk] You have a thing
for Nozomi, huh?

I just get the impression that...

[Won Shik] Do you think I'm gonna blow it?

No! Not at all.

That's not what I'm saying.

But it's obvious that
she really likes Dong Kyu.

[Won Shik] Yeah, man, I get it.

[Ji Hyuk] So, what are you gonna do?

I have absolutely no idea.

[Ji Hyuk] That's life, man.
We all get lost sometimes.


[Dong Kyu laughing]

[Shusuke] Oh, what's going on?

[Haruna] Oh, boy.

Thanks. What? What is it?

[Hayato] Hold up, hold up!
Slow down, folks.


[Haruna] They're doing shots non-stop.

[a-chan] They're going to get so drunk.

[Rio] Hm.

[laughs]

Attack on Titan.

[Maria] Okay. He's wasted.

Hey, question.

RIO: DO YOU GET BLACKOUT DRUNK?

Me? No.

[Rio] I forget.

RIO: I FORGET SOMETIMES

Do you forget stuff on purpose?

DONG KYU:
DO YOU FORGET STUFF ON PURPOSE?

Yeah.

[laughs]

[Maria] Just "Yeah?"

[Shusuke] I still think
this is a cute moment.


[door opening]

[Won Shik] It's so quiet in here.

Is no one here?

[Haruna] He doesn't know
Rio and Dong Kyu went out.


What's gonna happen?

There's no one here.

[Won Shik] For real?

Hold on, I think Dong Kyu
is in the bathroom.

[Hayato] Really?

He's not in the bathroom, man! Come on.

-[Dong Kyu] I know.
-[Rio] Straight. Cool!

[Won Shik] Hey.

Are you sure Dong Kyu's in the bathroom?

Oh, for sure.
The door was locked when I checked.

Maybe they went out somewhere.

Oh, yeah?

[Ji Hyuk] You think
they went out together?

I'm gonna help myself to a little yogurt.

Hey! There's no yogurt
sticking to the lid!

Then everything is right in the world.
[chuckles]

[studio cast laughing]

They must be home.

-[Hayato] What was that?
-Right?

[a-chan chuckles] That was great.

Amazing.

[a-chan] He's so funny.

I'm gonna text Dong Kyu and see what's up.

[Ji Hyuk] He's in the bathroom.

Where are you?

-He's here.
-[Won Shik] Are you on a date?

DONG KYU:
ON MY WAY HOME

Oh! He says he's coming home!

What do you mean, "Coming home?"

What did I just say, man?

What's he doing?

[Ji Hyuk] So he hasn't come home yet?

[Won Shik] Was it a date?

[studio cast all exclaim]

[pensive music playing]

[both groaning]

Oh, crap.

[Won Shik] They totally went on a date.

[Ji Hyuk] That means our whole talk
was for nothing.

[Won Shik] I scored higher than you.

[Ji Hyuk] Let's go.

One, two, three.

Oh, okay. Well played. Well played.

-[Rio] We're back.
-What?

-[Rio] We're back.
-Where did you go?

We went to get some samgyeopsal.

-[Ji Hyuk] You had samgyeopsal?
-Yeah, we sure did.

We went out for dinner.

-[Won Shik] On a date?
-No, dinner.

[Won Shik] It's the same thing.

[Dong Kyu] We didn't feel like
eating here.

[faucet running]

[chuckles]

[Won Shik] If you say so.

[Dong Kyu] Yeah, I say so.

[Won Shik groans]

Dong Kyu!

-[Dong Kyu] Yeah?
-[Won Shik] Did you have a nice time?

[Dong Kyu] I'm going to wash my face.

[bright music playing]

[Won Shik] He's totally
got a thing for Rio.

[Ji Hyuk] Hey.

What did you eat?

What... what did you have at the restaurant?

-[Rio] Meat!
-[Ji Hyuk] Meat!

[Rio] Lots and lots of meat!

[Ji Hyuk] You ate lots of meat?

[Rio] Lots of meat. We ate and ate.

[Ji Hyuk] Ate and ate?

You ate a lot?

-[Ji Hyuk] I guess you ate a lot.
-[Rio] And soju.

-[Ji Hyuk] Soju?
-[Rio] Soju.

[Maria] She's so drunk.

[Ji Hyuk] Let's go downstairs.

[Shusuke] Oh, this is getting complicated.

[Rio] What's up?

What? You're freaking me out.

[Ji Hyuk] I'm freaking you out?

-Come on, you know me.
-[Rio] Okay, I'm cool. I'm fine.

[Ji Hyuk] It's nice to be able
to sit down just the two of us.

Since we're not working together,
we haven't had the chance to talk.

We could still talk
even if we're not paired up.

[Ji Hyuk] Actually, I...

I really want to, you know...

work with you.

One more time.

When we pair up,
I want to tell you about me,

I want to hear everything about you, Rio.

Mm-hmm.

[Ji Hyuk] We haven't been able
to do that yet.

So, this is how... I see it, Rio.

It's that ever since that moment,
we've been growing further apart.

What moment? The pairing with Tae Gyun?

-Is that what you mean?
-[Ji Hyuk] Yeah.

Oh. Well, everyone who changes pairs
feels that way.

It's always like that.

But I didn't want to give you up, Rio.

[Rio] Oh.

Well, they say you can't
always get what you want.

[laughs]

[Maria] Not a great time to talk to Rio.

And that's why
I don't wanna settle on a partner.

I don't have a preference. No!

That's how I stay stress-free.

That's my secret.

Beer. [laughs]

[Haruna] Yeah, she is pretty drunk.

It's not the time, Ji Hyuk.

He's so stressed out.

[Maria] And so serious.

Hm.

-There's a lot.
-Yeah, there is.

Is there any soju?

[Won Shik] No.

JI HYUK:
THIS MUST BE HARD FOR YOU, I KNOW

JI HYUK:
YOU CAN DEPEND ON ME FOR NOW

[Haruna] That's not quite right, is it?

[Shusuke] Right, that's not
what this is about.


[a-chan] He thinks he's in love, right?

[Maria] It's no good
unless she loves him back.


[a-chan] I'm sure that's what
Ji Hyuk was hoping she'll do.


[Shusuke] I think he wants her
to come to him.


[a-chan] But does she look like
that kind of woman?


-You done?
-[Rio] Almost.

I want to know.

Should we do something?

[Won Shik whispers] You tell him.

Go talk to him.

[Dong Kyu] I'm scared, though.

[Hayato] Those guys crack me up.

[a-chan] Yeah, they're funny.

RIO:
I FELT A LOT OF PRESSURE FOR EPISODE 1

RIO:
I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE IT GREAT

RIO:
I DON'T TEND TO FALL IN LOVE ON THE SET

RIO:
SORRY, I WASN'T MY USUAL SELF

RIO:
I THINK I DO DEPEND ON YOU

RIO:
I APPRECIATE YOUR KINDNESS

RIO:
BUT I DON'T WANT TO DEPEND ON OTHERS

[Haruna] I figured
she didn't feel that way about him.


[Nozomi in Korean] We're back!

-[Ayano] We're back!
-Oh.

-[in Japanese] Welcome back!
-Welcome back.

-[Nozomi in Korean] We're back.
-Welcome back.

[Shusuke] Oh-oh.
Things are gonna get ugly.


[Maria] They have no idea
what they're walking into.


[Nozomi] What? Are you drinking?

Let's go. Let's go.

Why?

Why? Sit down!

-Can't we just sit here?
-[Haruna] It's not the right time.

Everyone's back now. This is so boring.

[Maria] This is bad.

Oh, someone's gotta tell him.

He's got it all wrong!

[Ji Hyuk] I'll be outside.

-[Dong Kyu] What?
-[groaning]

Hey, shut up, man.

You wanna go?

[Rio] He says we have to talk.

-[Haruna] Oh, boy. Ji Hyuk's acting out.
-We're drinking? Okay, yeah.

[Rio] I'm being taken away.

[Ji Hyuk] Come on.

Rio, hurry.

Rio!

[Rio] What?

[Rio chuckles]

Hey, come on. You're scaring me.

[Haruna] He's definitely drunk.

[a-chan] Oh, Ji Hyuk...

Ji Hyuk...

[Won Shik] They went all the way
to Gangnam.

-[Won Shik] Apgujeong.
-[Dong Kyu] Really? Damn.

Is everything okay? With them?

Yeah, it's fine.

Everything's cool, yeah.

Really?

You're grumpy tonight, Ji Hyuk.
Real grumpy.

Well, look, I'm human.

You know?

[Rio] Yeah, I get it.

And you should know. I'm gonna live...

my life the way I want.

It works for me.

My life, my way.

[Ji Hyuk] In that case,

since we're together all day,
all living in the same house,

I want you to know something.

You can lean on me.

That's all I'm saying.

You know what I mean.

No, no, no.

-The berries don't look so fresh.
-[Won Shik] I bought them yesterday.

[Dong Kyu] Really? Okay.

[faucet running]

Are you worried?

DONG KYU AND RIO?

[Won Shik] What?

Oh, I don't know.

-Are you worried?
-Yeah, I'm a little worried.

[studio cast exclaiming in protest]

[Haruna] Don't ask Won Shik
about all this.


This is weird.

[Maria] Okay. There's a lot going on here.

[Hayato] Things are definitely heating up.
Stuff's happening.


[Shusuke] So many mixed messages.

[Won Shik] I've got some things
on my mind.

Yeah, there's a lot to worry about.

-[Ayano] Where did you two go?
-[Honoka] Hey...

are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm okay.

DID YOU DO ANYTHING?

-No.
-[Nozomi] Where did you go?

-Won Shik, Ji Hyuk, club.
-[chuckling]

[in Japanese] You were dancing
at the club with Ji Hyuk.

No, no, no.

[in English] Dancing.

-[in Japanese] No.
-And you?

Um... Samgyeopsal.

[Won Shik in Korean]
She was asking you to begin with.

-[a-chan laughs]
-[in English] It's me?

-Uh-uh-uh.
-Uh...

[in Korean] Dobby. Dobby. Dobby. Dobby.
Dobby. Dobby. Dobby.

-Dobby...
-[Won Shik] Dobby?

Dobby, the house elf from Harry Potter.

[Maria] Oh, this is a bad sign.

Gym. Dobby, gym.

[a-chan] Oh no, he's being so cagey.

Samgyeopsal.

Okay.

Honoka, you want a drink?

WON SHIK:
HE HAD SAMGYEOPSAL WITH RIO

[Honoka] Oh, that looks good. What is it?

Is he angry?

-Uh...
-Do you know why?

WON SHIK:
SHE WAS OUT WITH DONG KYU TILL LATE

But I don't know what the deal is.
Does that make sense?

What do you think?

NOZOMI: I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT

[Won Shik] What's up?

JEALOUSY

Oh!

-And you too.
-Oh?

I don't know.

Really?

Yeah. It's just...

I'm just saying...

you can lean on me. I'm here.

Sure. How do I say this?

I'll try, but I don't think
it's gonna happen.

It's not gonna work. [laughs]

-[Ji Hyuk] It could work.
-[chuckles]

[studio cast laughing]

Ji Hyuk and I,

the two of us went out.

We didn't know the others left
because we were out. Drinking.

[Won Shik] Dong Kyu came back...

It's fine. We're just
making a big deal of it.

Yeah, but if they didn't know,
it would've come as a shock.

Yeah, I mean, it stinks.
Ji Hyuk didn't expect it,

but why is he getting
so worked up over it?

Well, he clearly feels strongly about her.

Wouldn't you ask why, too?
Wouldn't you wanna know where you stand?

Yeah, but he doesn't have to get mad.

We were hungry, so we went out
to get some food and then we came back.

[laughs]

[Haruna] Dong Kyu thinks
it was just dinner,


nothing less, nothing more.

[a-chan] But it meant something to Rio,

and Nozomi knows that,

so she's probably having a tough time.

[film roll rattling]

[Hayato] This is getting messy.

I wanted to see some more.

It's so complicated!

Oh, I'm loving this.

-It's fun, right?
-Yeah, they're sharing how they feel.

When you fall for someone,

it's hard to keep
your feelings bottled up.

Then they explode!

Like with Ji Hyuk.

-But they're not even dating.
-[Haruna] I know.

I think he's starting to panic.

-There are too many rivals.
-[Hayato] True.

After all, love is blind.

And then, Won Shik gave him
this big talk over dinner.

Like, "Be more direct with Rio, man.
Tell her how you feel."

"Go for it! Make your move!"

Not great advice when alcohol's involved.

[laughter]

It had an effect!

-[Maria] I'm sure it did.
-Won Shik's advice was fine.

Ji Hyuk just needed to consider
his approach better

and be more thoughtful.

Yeah. And better timing.

-He was drunk. Probably had fun.
-[Hayato] Now it's like his switch

has been flipped.
He's sharing his feelings non-stop.

[a-chan] It's true.

I guess he really likes her.

His switch has been flipped.

That's love all right.
