ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS
FILMING OF CHILD ACTORS DONE UNDER BROADCASTING GUIDELINES
-[sighs] -Why does it feel like
we're going deeper into the mountains?
-Are you sure GPS won't work here? -[breathing heavily] Well, actually,
my phone battery died a while ago.
Is yours still on?
If it was still on, I would have called Ah-young ages ago. No question.
Mine's been dead for a while now.
[sighs] Yeah… [sighs] …that makes sense.
Hey, don't worry. We'll find our way back.
I mean, every path has to lead somewhere, right?
-Ugh, now isn't the time for bravado. -The Earth is round, after all.
I've got a feeling we might come across something scary out here.
Jesus! Don't say things like that. Seriously, please?
[animal growls]
[growling]
[both gasp]
[breathing shakily]
[voice] Don't move.
Don't make eye contact.
And don't turn your back on it.
[gun cocks]
[zaps]
-Here, kitty, kitty. -It's huge.
That's the best you've got? "Here, kitty, kitty"?
I'm scared.
Just don't move.
Very good. Mmm, good, kitty, kitty.
Crap, damn it.
Hold on. One,
two…
All right. Say cheese.
[growling intensifies]
[both gasp]
[breathes shakily]
[stammers] Give me that!
[exclaims]
Run!
[all screaming, whimpering]
Oh, man. [wailing]
[gasping]
Oh, no. Oh, God. Are you all right, Ms. Kang?
Are you okay? Are you alive?
[gasping]
I'm alive. Yeah.
[both gasp]
[exclaiming]
A tiger!
A tiger! I took a historic shot. Look!
I got it. I got a tiger!
-Sorry, sir. Are you okay? -Are you all right?
I got a tiger, see? A real tiger! [laughing]
-Yes. -[chuckles, sighs]
Oh!
-Huh? -Huh?
-[chuckles] -His beard…
[gasps]
[both gasping]
Sorry, are you… Are you, uh…
-Mr. Sh-Shin Hyeon-jae? -Shin?
You are, right?
Do we know each other?
[both chuckling]
[sighs] Well, actually we've been out here searching for you all day,
so, yeah, we know you.
Oh, is that right?
I just happened to be looking for a new vantage point, you know?
And suddenly I saw the tiger there.
This is nothing short of a miracle.
Thank you so much, sir.
If it hadn't been for you, he would have had us for dinner.
Oh, God, no. I should be thanking you.
The thing is, I got tipped off earlier today.
I still never thought I'd see it.
I'm sure if I had been alone,
I could never have gotten the photograph and I might be dead now.
But thanks to you I've now fulfilled a lifelong wish.
I don't even know how to thank you for being here today. [sighs]
In that case, could we ask you to perhaps do us a favor?
Yes, ask away. Of course. Whatever you need.
-You have to talk to Mi-rae! -[gasps]
Did something happen to her?
Uh…
I guess you don't know anything at all, do you?
Uh…
Thank you for the coffee, Son.
If you need anything, just let me know.
-Yes, sir. -Good night. [chuckles]
-Ah, I see now why he was here. -Mm-hmm.
-[Hyeon-jae grunts] -Ah.
Oh, thank you so much.
Thanks for the coffee.
Mi-rae gave us hot tea to drink,
-you know that? -[chuckles]
-Oh, you're right. -Mmm-hmm. [chuckles]
Come to think of it, you two share a strangely similar vibe.
[chuckles] Yeah, well,
we're not your, uh… typical couple, you know?
We look unconventional,
but more than that, we both chase after dreams that are deemed
unrealistic.
Might just be the reason it was love at first sight.
[sighs]
I understand.
Now it seems this is the end.
Mi-rae thinks that tarot is way more real than wild tigers.
It's funny, isn't it?
She believes in the unprovable,
yet won't believe what I say
for the very same reason.
[gasps] Isn't your picture evidence enough?
Surely she's gonna change her mind when you present her with the photo you took.
I doubt that.
I think it's too late.
If I see Mi-rae now…
[grunts]
…I bet we'd get a divorce.
[inhales sharply] Let's say
we have a cat, and we put that cat inside a sealed box,
with a vial of poison that might open at any moment.
What do you think? Is our kitty alive or dead?
Uh… [sighs]
I… I don't know. I couldn't tell you, actually.
That's right.
It's not possible.
You have to look inside the box to know.
I see your point.
The only way to know what's really going on…
is to talk to Mi-rae then.
[inhales deeply, sighs]
[chuckles]
Although I'm a bit scared…
I'll do it.
I'll meet with her.
-[Ki-jun sighs] -I will.
-Great. -Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
[Han-deul chuckles]
[Ki-jun sighs]
[both sighing]
How surreal was that? [chuckles]
Yeah. If you told me it was a dream, I'd believe you.
[Jeon-man] "A dream"?
I thought you told me I had to show up at Gorangae Village ASAP,
but you had a dream and now you're late? Really?
Oh, that's right. I forgot I called you here.
Forgot? Seriously?
I… You know, we came across a wild tiger out there.
Mm-hmm.
A ti… [sighs]
You crossed paths with a tiger.
At least make an effort to lie convincingly.
That's quite a story.
So, you saw a tiger?
Yes, it's true.
And we actually found Shin Hyeon-jae.
[sighs] Nobody works like this.
No plan, no strategy. Just following an impulse.
Actually, coming here was my idea.
[sighs] We thought we should speak to these individuals directly to assist them.
-That's all. -And why did you think
you could gather the whole team in Gangwon Province?
I don't remember asking you to come.
[scoffs]
Man… [panting] …this was tough. I think I'm dying.
We scoured the whole area…
-There's no one. Nobody. -…and there was nobody. Nobody. Oh.
[stammers] Wait, what is Ms. Jeon doing here? I'm confused.
[clears throat]
I guess I'm the unwanted guest here?
[stammers]
I brought her here.
Yeah. She's part of the team, right?
[Ki-jun sighs]
Do you wanna go back now?
Mm-mmm. I think we'd better stay. Let's go back in the morning.
All right.
Two,
two,
-and two, it looks like. -[chuckles]
-Ah-young… It's fate, I think. -No, it's not.
I'm gonna go crash in my car. Today was a lot. Rest well.
[gasps] Wait. Thank you for this.
Sure.
Well, ladies, make yourselves comfortable then.
And, hey, let's go.
-Huh? -Come on.
-Go where? -Just go, okay?
[grunts] I'm tired.
[huffs] This one.
[sighs] All done.
[grunts, sighs]
What are you doing?
You were the one who brought me here. It's fair, I think.
[sighs] You should go back.
I was on the road for hours for a five-minute meeting, so no.
So, you like me, I guess?
Sure. We should spend the night together. [chuckles]
That sounds amazing, asshole.
[grunts]
-Where are you going? -To sleep!
[grunting]
[sighs] What a jerk.
[sighs]
-What's wrong with me? -[sighs]
You know, if you want to make a confession, go find a priest.
I haven't sinned yet, so I don't have anything to confess.
What do you want then?
Your advice. Hmm?
[sighs]
-You got four choices. -What?
I can talk as your friend,
as a human being,
I can be AI,
or…
the ex-husband.
-Good night. -Four.
What are you doing?
[gasps] Oh, you're still awake.
I don't sleep well around others.
Girls especially.
Sorry for making you come all the way out here.
Do you like it?
Oh, I'll show you which ones I look at.
-Right over there-- -No, I don't mean that.
Do you like spending time with Ki-jun?
Well, I told you earlier that we found Mr. Shin Hyeon-jae.
Ah, the tiger story, yeah.
[chuckles] The tiger story had a big impact,
and I totally missed that other detail.
Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you.
[chuckles]
You're quick to make an apology.
That's me though.
Quick to marry, quick to divorce, and quick to getting
things done, you know? [chuckles]
You make everything look really easy somehow.
I do?
While it might look really easy, I still had to earn it though.
I'm so sorry. It wasn't my intention to sound disparaging.
[stammers] It's just that I'm the total opposite, you know? [chuckles]
[sighs] So that's why.
It's not my forte.
Knitting, that is.
What, knitting, really?
It takes way too long, and it ends up being uneven and rough around the edges.
[chuckles] It's bothersome to me.
So I'd much rather go to a designer store and just
get one there.
[chuckles]
And you?
I'd choose to continue 'til it's done.
Mmm. Is that so?
[gasps]
It will take longer though.
Yet it's also gonna get a lot sturdier.
It sounds like you've decided to give up,
so I'll gladly carry on with the green yarn.
It started as the leaves fell and was over before they hit the ground.
We didn't even make it through one season.
Not all good things last.
I guess you have a point, though I'd like to think they can.
[inhales deeply] Yeah, in the end, it was as fragile
as it was intense.
It lacked a true foundation.
That's pretty sad.
Mm-hmm. I would agree with that.
-Are you sure it's really over? -Yeah.
Does she feel that way?
Well, it's over for me.
You sound adamant.
Well, it was a battle to get here.
[inhales deeply]
And it's a battle on this side too.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I'm scared.
Schrödinger's cat. Same old story. You know how it goes, right?
But I have to open the box. You don't.
When the seasons begin to change, if you still haven't opened it,
come back to me for more advice.
In that case, I'll choose the friend option.
That's who you've been talking to.
An Jeon-man.
What, Noh Ki-jun?
That's who you always get.
[sighs]
[Jeon-man grunts, sighs]
Oh, shoot. Where'd the time go?
[elevator dings]
[breathing shakily]
PLUS GENERAL INSURANCE
K… H…
NEW MAIL
Okay.
[Han-deul, Ah-young sigh]
[Na-rae chuckles]
[Ki-jun sighs]
No greetings necessary.
-Yes, ma'am. -Okay.
-Sure. -Good morning, everybody!
[Ki-jun] Sure.
Anyone hungry at all?
[cock crows]
Could I ask you, as your ex-ex-ex-wife…
is something going on with you guys?
[sighs]
The two of us?
No, we're just old friends.
-That's all. Mmm. -Yeah.
-Mmm. [inhales sharply] -Yeah.
[chuckles]
All right. I'm bringing you all some fermented fish.
It's wrapped in cabbage and served with a side of rice.
Gangwon Province is famous for it.
-Ah-young, come on. -No, thank you.
-Say, "Ah." -I actually don't-- [exclaims]
-I said no! -[grunts]
[grunts]
-Mmm! -Do you like it?
It's amazing, actually.
-Mmm! -Are you, um…
Mmm.
Mmm!
[Ah-young] Good, huh?
Mmm! Mmm.
[coughs]
[Na-rae] Mmm.
[Ah-young] Hmm?
-[Ki-jun] Mm-hmm. -[Ah-young] It's tasty, right?
Mmm.
-Is there more? -There's more inside.
-Go get some more, will you? -I'll get some more. Hold on.
[Ki-jun] Mm-hmm. [chuckles]
Thank you for coming, ma'am.
-You really found my husband? -Yes.
All right. Where is he?
Oh, over there. He's waiting for you near the pine bench.
[bittersweet music playing]
[sighs]
Uh, this way.
Nothing left for us to do but to wait here.
We'll wait and hope that the box opens.
What if they open it and all they find inside is divorce?
Uh… [sighs]
[inhales deeply]
Oh.
They'll eat fermented fish wrapped in cabbage together. I think that will do it.
-[chuckles] -[Ah-young] Wow.
Ingenious.
No way.
-I do crave some more. -[Jeon-man] Yeah, I'm hungry again.
-[Han-deul] Me too. -Let's have some more then.
So…
I did it.
I saw a wild tiger.
What?
[sighs]
Ugh, I'm so sick of hearing about your damn tigers.
I came all the way to be here, and now you're talking tigers again?
[stammers, sighs]
[sighs] I'm such a fool.
God, I'm so sick of all this.
-[Ki-jun] Here they come. -[Han-deul gasps]
-[Jeon-man] Damn it. -Why aren't they coming together?
-[Jeon-man] I don't think it went well. -[stammers, sighs]
[gasps, sighs]
-We hope the chat went well? -No, I want to get divorced.
[sighs] He talks about nothing else but his damn tigers.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to confirm that I was right.
-No, ma'am, hold on, hold on. Ma'am, wait. -[gasps] Ma'am.
-You need to talk to her, Mr. Shin. -[sighs]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
No, please don't. Just a minute.
-That's enough. -Don't go.
[sighs] I'm so sorry.
I beg you, give it a minute. Oh, will you please, please, give it another shot?
-I'm very, very sorry about this. -What's wrong with you?
-Come on, why are you… -I'm so sorry, ma'am.
-Please forgive me. -What's happening?
-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. -Let go, okay?
I'm sorry about that.
You two really need to let it all go and speak honestly about things,
like married couples do, you know?
I'm so sorry.
-What did you say? -What's going on?
-Hurry! -Should we go?
-We gotta go? -Let's go. Come on, let's go.
-Hurry, let's get out of here. -Ms. Jeon.
-Ms. Jeon! -[Han-deul] Let's go!
-[sighs] -Mi-rae.
What is it?
Are you going to bring up the tiger again?
Yeah, it's about the tiger again.
-[sighs] -The thing is…
I just really wanted to prove it to you.
To prove to you that what you thought wasn't real actually exists.
I never asked you to prove anything.
I just…
didn't want to be alone.
You were always searching for something beyond your reach
when I was right there by your side.
[inhales deeply] I wanted your acknowledgment
and that's why I tried to prove it.
I thought that if I could get acknowledged by publishing the pictures,
then you would acknowledge me as well.
[sighs]
Acknowledge?
[sighs]
Do you remember when we went on the trail?
I wanted to give up and even though we were strangers, you helped me.
As soon as I put your hand in mine,
I had already acknowledged you.
I thought that we'd walk together,
never to feel the sting of loneliness ever again.
[stammers]
Oh, God…
[breathes shakily]
I… Well, I'm… I'm very sorry that I…
I made you feel like that. I made you feel lonely.
[sighing]
But I swear I really had no idea.
How come you never said anything?
I didn't want to admit that I had actually made the wrong choice.
I have a lot of pride, you know.
-[sniffles] -[exhales sharply]
-[Mi-rae sighs, sniffles] -[Hyeon-jae sighs]
This is fermented fish that's wrapped in cabbage
and served with some rice on the side. Please have a bite.
-Oh. -Go on, try it.
-[Mi-rae] Oh. [chuckles] -Go on.
-Yeah, thank you very much. -Of course.
Now, this is what Gangwon Province is famous for.
Oh, okay.
Please. Try it. Go on.
[Mi-rae chuckles]
-[stammers] Thank you. -Try it.
[Ki-jun whispers] Are they eating it?
-Good, huh? Right? -Mmm! Mm-hmm.
-Mmm! -[chuckles] Delicious, right?
There's plenty left. Just let me know if you want more.
-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.
-[Ah-young] Oh, crap. -[Ki-jun] What do we do now?
Hey, uh, listen.
Uh, could you take a look at the photo I took of the tiger?
[sighs] Let me see it. Come on.
Just a minute.
[gasps] You heard him, right? He said tiger.
-There was a tiger. Didn't I tell you? -Are you serious?
Here.
[tiger growls]
[gasps]
You're annoyed, aren't you?
-You can tell. -Mmm.
But at least it's real.
Congrats.
Does this… Does this mean that we're…
I think it's time for me to head back.
Oh, no.
No, no, wait. Excuse me! Wait.
Uh… [clears throat]
How was the meal? Are you enjoying… [gasps]
God, you've barely begun the meal. There's a ton left over.
Considering how much effort and care went in to preparing this wonderful dish,
you really should finish the whole meal, I think.
And there's something we'd like to show you a little later.
We'll get it set up for you. We want you to enjoy the food.
So take your time, okay?
-I should really leave-- -No.
No, no, no, please help yourself.
-No, we actually-- -Please eat slowly! Eat slowly, slowly.
-What do we do now? -Move down, move down.
-What are we doing? -Go, go, go.
-Ms. Jeon, come on, go faster. -[Hyeon-jae] No, wait.
Will you please stay a little longer?
-What's going on? -What is it? What's happening?
Don't we have to do something about this? I think we should.
What did I say? You're too impulsive.
Are you saying we should watch them leave and go file for a divorce?
What more can we do right now?
[groans] Damn it.
[groans]
Ah.
Continuation.
[all] Continuation?
No divorce, instead continuation.
The idea's to encourage them to continue their marriage in a way they can.
With a vow renewal ceremony.
-[Ah-young gasps] -[Jeon-man] Oh.
[laughing breathily]
How are you gonna do that though?
Could we organize all that in less than a day?
And keep it under 30,000 won?
Sounds impossible.
[inhales sharply]
Woong-sik.
Yes?
Mm-hmm.
[Han-deul] Mi-rae and Hyeon-jae agreed to the ceremony.
[playful romantic music playing]
[Ah-young gasps, chuckles]
Okay.
[inaudible]
[villager 1 laughs]
[villager 2] Did I have something like this in my youth?
-Of course you did. -I'll get married again,
-and then I wanna hold this bouquet here. -[laugh]
This is how you do it. Here.
[exclaims, laughs]
You did so good!
Ooh, that's pretty. You're a pro.
-Should we make one more? -[child] All right.
-[grunting] -Oh, wait. Wait, let me do it.
-[grunts] It's all right. I've got it. -I'll take that. Here.
-[sighs] -[Ah-young clears throat]
I raised nine children within the walls of this house.
[chuckles] This is probably gonna sound crazy,
but I actually had a modern wedding back in the day.
What a beautiful dress.
[sighs] Now I recall my husband who died. [chuckles]
You two must be married, right?
Huh?
-Oh, no. Actually, no. -Oh. No.
That's just how things are.
I know you didn't intend to do that.
That's how you stay together.
You know who the unhappiest person in the world is?
It's the person who is alone and when they fall, nobody picks them up.
That's why couples learn to live with each other.
To have somebody who's going to help them up when they fall.
-Understand? -I understand.
-Yeah. -[villager chuckles]
[both chuckle]
-Goodness. [chuckles] -[Jeon-man] Thank you, sir.
You know, when I was a miner back in the day,
I was dispatched to Germany and, uh,
this is the suit I had tailored there to marry my wife, who was a nurse.
[Na-rae] "Glück Auf."
It's a phrase to wish somebody good luck going up.
My wife embroidered it herself to say, "Have a safe return."
But I don't know why I treated her so terribly back then.
I struggled to be kind. No, I didn't have the right words.
Be good to each other while you have the chance.
And then you won't have regrets when you're old. [chuckles]
[Jeon-man] Hmm.
[bell tolling]
Let's welcome the bride!
[piano playing]
[piano stops]
[sighs]
[attendees clapping]
[attendee cheers]
[attendees cheering]
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for joining us for this continuation ceremony.
[attendees cheering]
I don't wanna step out of turn, but as the village head,
I'd like to share a sentiment, if you'll allow me.
Has our village not grown to embrace the ever changing moods of the wind?
Have we not learned to cultivate land on a mountainside
where temperatures fluctuate and every season is a new challenge?
Yes, the harvests are smaller and less refined
compared to those in flat regions.
But then the richest flavors are here.
It is the harshness of the land that gifts us with unexpected treasures.
I realized through my years of farming
that even the mist and the frost are integral parts of the harvest.
Like the cabbage flowers that bloom, having overcome the barren field.
I humbly wish that your union keeps prospering.
-[bell tolling] -[attendees applauding]
[cheering]
-Congratulations! -Congratulations!
You look stunning!
[cheering continues]
[sentimental music playing]
[music continues]
[no audible dialogue]
[cheering continues]
Now those two should be able to keep going forward, as companions hand in hand.
It's really wonderful.
What is? That they're back together?
That you're allowed to feel uncertain.
It seems liberating but it also grounds you.
To have a person you can return to even if you've gotten a little lost…
even though that appears to be a fate reserved for just the lucky ones.
[cheering continues]
Let's take a group picture so we don't forget this great occasion.
One, two, three.
-[upbeat music playing] -[crowd cheering, chattering]
-[Mi-rae] There you go. [laughs] -[laughs]
Let's turn you around!
No, no.
[chuckling]
Come on. Come on.
[Han-deul whoops]
-[tiger growling] -[music stops]
[growling continues]
[music resumes]
[gasps]
[exclaims, laughs]
[Hyeon-jae] I know it may be too late to share this,
but when I reached out my hand to you back then, I had nothing left
and was close to just giving up on my journey.
The only reason I was able to finish the trail
was because of the connection with you.
Because you gave me the courage to go on.
Wow.
You were so interested in tigers, I was convinced you were wild and daring.
Uh…
The truth is… [inhales deeply]
Actually…
I'm…
a coward.
[chuckles]
I was only acting brave.
[chuckles]
That signpost with all the scallop shells on it?
Oh, yeah.
You sat right in front of it, crying your eyes out.
Buen camino.
[chuckles]
The eucalyptus tree which had a bunch of shoes hanging on it.
And you just couldn't figure out how all the shoes had ended up on that tree.
"Welcome." Yeah?
-The Korean scribbles on the wall. -You remember that? You do really?
Yeah, of course I do.
There were scribbles covering the wall in every language,
yet it clearly stood out to you.
I could never forget that.
These memories belong to you and I.
Absolutely.
It will always be our secret code.
And do you think this moment…
is gonna be part of that?
Yes, it will.
Hmm.
Just promise me one thing.
-You won't grow a beard. -Mm-hmm.
-Looks are everything. -Mmm.
[chuckles]
Cool. Thanks.
[sighs]
[grunts]
[Jeon-man] You seem desperate to escape.
Well, could we?
Do that?
-Of course. -Okay, then.
Take me to a hotel within 20 minutes away.
Huh? [clears throat] Sorry?
[sighs] I have to lie down.
[grunts, clears throat]
[sighs]
So the continuation ceremony wasn't more than 30,000 won?
You know that for sure?
Yeah, all the villagers had contributed to it.
We used paper as confetti for 3,000. We had snacks for 8,000.
We paid 15,700 for drinks, for a total of 26,700.
That leaves us with 3,300.
Good.
Would you like me to give it to you?
And what would I buy with that?
You might score a buy-one-get-one-free triangle gimbap and some coffee.
A perfectly good meal.
Then keep it for now. Let's have it together.
You drove us all the way down here. So I'll drive us there.
That's fair, I guess.
One, two, three.
-And we got it. -Oh! Hey, no, wait.
-Oh, I got it. -Don't bother. We got it.
Yeah, we can take care of this so you can be on your way.
Yeah, Han-deul. You two should probably head out.
What about Ms. Jeon?
Well, as far as I'm aware, Mr. An and her left already.
-Oh… -We'll clean up here.
Don't worry. It's cool.
All right, then let's go. I don't wanna be in the way here.
All right. We'll be heading out, then.
-Do your thing. -Drive safely, okay?
Listen, uh, could you please use this card to buy something for the villagers.
[gasps] Your personal card? As expected from a one-percenter.
[chuckles]
-Thank you, Mr. Park. -My pleasure.
-Thanks for everything. -Let's go.
-Okay, let's go. -Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It's how many stars?
Three stars.
Just three?
You wanted 20-minute distance, didn't you?
[groans]
The 4-star hotel will be almost an hour.
[sighs]
Back to Seoul then?
Three-stars will do.
It's your call.
Well, I guess the tarot cards were right, huh?
They predicted we'd be successful.
[Han-deul] Oh, actually…
I had a different question in mind.
Really?
You had a different question?
So what question was that?
Um, it's a secret.
-[scoffs] Cruel. -[chuckles]
I will tell you once the results are in. Yeah?
Cruel…
Scratch that. If it's a positive result, I'll tell you.
-[Ki-jun scoffs] -[chuckles]
Okay.
Must be some question you've got there then, huh?
Let's hope for a positive result.
[Han-deul chuckles]
[Ki-jun chuckles]
[host on radio] After a long and tiring day,
why not join me tonight unwind and drift off into a peaceful slumber?
[Ki-jun whispering] Good night, ma'am.
Hello, I'm your host, Park Ji-yoon.
-[sighs] Here you go. -That's sweet. Thank you.
HASONG GENERAL STORE
It's nice and warm out tonight.
It really is.
Hmm.
It stung a bit, back in the village.
Hmm?
Could I ask you as your ex-ex-ex-wife.
Is something going on with you guys?
The two of us?
No, we're just old friends.
-That's all. Hmm? -Yeah.
Uh… [chuckles] No, nothing.
Oh. [sighs]
[dreamy music playing on radio]
[chuckles]
This is a mood, huh.
-Yeah, and with the bright stars… -[gasps]
They look like Christmas lights.
What was Christmas like for you when you were a kid?
It was a bit dull, I guess.
-[chuckles] -Dull?
When I was young, Christmas didn't feel like Christmas is supposed to.
We never had decorations. Just silence, you know?
Hmm.
The problem was my parents didn't wanna be together.
Hmm.
I was sad about it back then,
but I'm okay with it now. [chuckles]
Then buy yourself a tree with bright lights this year.
[chuckles]
While I'd love to, my apartment's not ready.
[both chuckling]
[gasps] Look! A pay phone.
Oh, didn't know they were still around.
I guess they are. You think it works still?
[chuckles]
-Aw, it doesn't work. -[chuckles]
Oh, hi there.
Who are you calling?
-Myself in the future. -Ah.
Then go ahead and speak to yourself.
-Don't mind me. -[chuckles]
Uh…
Hello there?
How are you? It's younger Han-deul calling.
So…
did you get what you wanted?
[chuckles]
[music continues]
[heartbeat thumping]
Wanna go ahead and call future Ki-jun?
Yeah.
-[Ki-jun] Uh, sorry. -Oh.
-I'll just do this here. -Oh.
[chuckles]
[Ki-jun chuckles]
Redialing.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
Hello there?
Noh Ki-jun.
Remember today.
[Na-rae sighs]
So this is the best you could do?
[Jeon-man] At least it looks better in person.
I'll get the key cards.
[mischievous classical music playing]
[elevator bell dings]
[music continues]
-Here you go. -Thanks.
Would you mind giving us a rating?
No greetings necessary.
-All right, sure. I'll see you outside. -[Jeon-man] Yep.
[sighs]
Here's your credit card, sir.
-You're good to go. -Thanks.

N equals
RS, times FP, times NE,
times FL, times FI, times FC, times L.
What formula are you reciting?
Oh. It's a formula called the Drake equation.
Which they use to estimate the probability of encountering extraterrestrials.
-So that's a real thing? -There's all kinds of formulas.
-[clicks tongue] Oh, scientists. -[chuckles]
There's even a guy who applied that formula
to figure out the probability of finding your soul mate. Crazy, right?
Oh. And so what's the probability of that?
-0.0004%. -[sighs]
So in other words, your soul mate doesn't really exist.
-Right? -Well, no.
It's not actually zero. [chuckles]
[scoffs] Hmm.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
Uh. There's this thing that I've thought about a lot.
So I thought that…
I mean, our situation isn't exactly zero.
[inhales sharply] Uh…

SPECIAL THANKS TO HAN SEON-HWA AND KWAK SI-YANG
FOR THEIR GUEST APPEARANCES
[Na-rae] They're commuting to work together.
If they're coming to work together, they're more than just colleagues now.
-What do you think, Mr. An? -How did you know it was me though?
[Na-rae] You know you're being really cute right now.
[Jeon-man] Calling a man cute is the kiss of death.
It's becoming complicated and I hate that.
-[shouts] -The insurance claim's been filed.
-What? -[Dae-bok] They're at the courthouse
signing their divorce papers as we speak!
We've got the four-week reflection period to change their minds.
Would you like to do couples therapy?
I'm getting a divorce. It's done.
[Ki-jun] Let's first get a sense of the situation.
[Dae-bok] How do you have so much energy, sir?
Hello? Oh, Madam Choi.
[Dae-bok] We don't have confirmation yet,
but it seems like he might be seeing another woman.
-What? Another woman? -This divorce might ruin the project.
What's the scope of coverage?
It's described as "an adult man or woman
who is not currently engaged in an affair." Those are the conditions.
[Ki-jun] We can render the contract null and void.
Do we really thin that's necessary?
She's already struggling having to divorce her longtime husband.
It has to be done. Or we risk the success of the project.
