1
00:00:18,935 --> 00:00:20,520
WE
2
00:00:20,603 --> 00:00:23,106
MET
3
00:00:33,158 --> 00:00:34,367
THE TWO OF THEM
4
00:00:34,451 --> 00:00:38,413
MET MANY PEOPLE
5
00:00:38,788 --> 00:00:43,209
THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER
6
00:00:45,336 --> 00:00:47,589
AND READ MANY BOOKS
7
00:00:47,672 --> 00:00:50,425
TAKING WALKS, TRAVELING, READING
8
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:54,012
LOVE, TIME,
FRIENDSHIP, COMMUNICATION
9
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:59,726
ONCE AGAIN, I OPEN THE BOOK ABOUT YOU
10
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,023
{\an8}Mr. Kang was ill.
11
00:01:05,273 --> 00:01:06,483
{\an8}VOLUME 15
12
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:10,236
{\an8}And Eun-ho has been taking care of him
the whole time.
13
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:27,796
<i>July 5th, 2007.</i>
14
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:30,924
<i>I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.</i>
15
00:01:32,509 --> 00:01:35,512
<i>I asked over and over again
because I couldn't believe it,</i>
16
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:38,056
<i>but my friend's answer didn't change.</i>
17
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:41,309
<i>I can't believe
I'll forget how to communicate</i>
18
00:01:42,143 --> 00:01:43,645
<i>and lose my ability to write.</i>
19
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:46,940
KANG BYEONG-JUN SPECIAL LECTURE
20
00:01:47,023 --> 00:01:48,233
<i>I'm intimidated by</i>
21
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:52,987
<i>the days I'll have to
get through from now on.</i>
22
00:02:01,412 --> 00:02:03,915
<i>Eun-ho has been coming by every day.</i>
23
00:02:04,874 --> 00:02:06,376
<i>When I ask him why he keeps coming by,</i>
24
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:09,087
<i>he just smiles.</i>
25
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:13,174
<i>Today, we went out for a walk together.</i>
26
00:02:14,342 --> 00:02:17,011
<i>It was a beautiful day,
so the walk lifted my spirits.</i>
27
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:21,933
<i>There's no way I'd know</i>
28
00:02:23,059 --> 00:02:24,352
<i>a young man like you.</i>
29
00:02:24,435 --> 00:02:25,353
Mr. Kang!
30
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:32,902
<i>I found my old journals.</i>
31
00:02:33,862 --> 00:02:36,364
<i>In it, I had written about
my son visiting me.</i>
32
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:40,160
<i>Have I been writing constantly</i>
33
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:42,996
<i>despite
my deteriorating cognitive abilities?</i>
34
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,039
<i>Thank goodness</i>
35
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,793
<i>that habit of mine is still intact.</i>
36
00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:52,297
<i>It makes me feel like
I can still call myself a writer.</i>
37
00:02:57,468 --> 00:03:00,930
<i>Maybe the son I wrote about was Eun-ho.</i>
38
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:03,600
<i>It's been a long time</i>
39
00:03:04,183 --> 00:03:06,895
<i>since I started to think of him as my son.</i>
40
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:12,191
Mr. Kang.
41
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,403
Mr. Kang...
42
00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:17,280
Mr. Kang, please don't do this.
43
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:20,533
Mr. Kang!
44
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:25,830
<i>September 12, 2009.</i>
45
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:28,374
<i>I got Eun-ho to promise me...</i>
46
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:29,792
Promise me, Eun-ho.
47
00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:33,504
<i>...that he'll make sure
I can die as author Kang Byeong-jun,</i>
48
00:03:34,255 --> 00:03:38,134
<i>not as a senile old man
who lost his memory.</i>
49
00:03:39,218 --> 00:03:42,180
<i>I asked him to make sure
my chronology can end</i>
50
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,099
<i>with my disappearance,
not with Alzheimer's disease.</i>
51
00:03:46,142 --> 00:03:49,520
<i>I lived to write books,
so I told him I wished to be remembered as</i>
52
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:52,815
<i>a man who dedicated his life to
writing novels even after my death.</i>
53
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:57,946
<i>I told him that I'll die as an author
because that's who I was my entire life.</i>
54
00:04:00,323 --> 00:04:01,741
<i>Hence, I wrote my will,</i>
55
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:05,245
<i>a declaration of
the end of my writing career.</i>
56
00:04:06,204 --> 00:04:10,792
<i>It'll be my last piece of writing.</i>
57
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:20,051
<i>I thought about what
Eun-ho must've gone through</i>
58
00:04:21,552 --> 00:04:23,471
<i>and what he must've felt</i>
59
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:26,516
<i>every time people misunderstood him.</i>
60
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:36,985
<i>You who love the stars</i>
61
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:38,236
<i>That must've been why</i>
62
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:42,448
<i>Eun-ho was sitting in the front yard
all alone.</i>
63
00:04:44,075 --> 00:04:47,704
<i>Because of his promise to Mr. Kang,
which he had to keep even from me.</i>
64
00:04:47,787 --> 00:04:48,830
<i>And so did you</i>
65
00:04:48,913 --> 00:04:50,581
<i>I just need you too.</i>
66
00:04:51,374 --> 00:04:54,252
That one person who knows me well.
67
00:04:55,336 --> 00:04:57,255
Even if the whole world turns
its back on me...
68
00:04:57,714 --> 00:05:00,633
"He must have his reasons.
There must be an explanation for it.
69
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:03,886
He must have done it
in order to protect something
70
00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:06,097
that he wants to protect."
71
00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:08,349
You...
72
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:10,518
At least, you will give me
73
00:05:11,894 --> 00:05:13,563
the benefit of the doubt, right?
74
00:05:14,355 --> 00:05:15,523
<i>And that's why</i>
75
00:05:16,274 --> 00:05:18,401
<i>that was all he could say.</i>
76
00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:22,405
<i>There were so many things
that he wanted to say,</i>
77
00:05:23,197 --> 00:05:25,074
<i>but he had to keep it all inside.</i>
78
00:05:31,706 --> 00:05:32,540
<i>The thought</i>
79
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:36,961
<i>of him suffering all alone broke my heart.</i>
80
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:41,466
<i>And I couldn't help but cry</i>
81
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:43,968
<i>because I knew that
I couldn't go back in time</i>
82
00:05:46,804 --> 00:05:47,847
<i>and be there for him.</i>
83
00:05:53,102 --> 00:05:54,228
Dan-i.
84
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:57,440
Dan-i, where are you?
85
00:05:58,441 --> 00:05:59,650
Dan-i.
86
00:06:03,738 --> 00:06:04,864
Where did she go?
87
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,492
Dan-i, are you in the attic?
88
00:06:11,662 --> 00:06:12,663
Dan-i.
89
00:06:26,302 --> 00:06:27,678
Mr. Kang...
90
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,058
You're taking care of him, right?
91
00:06:36,145 --> 00:06:37,271
In Kapyong...
92
00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:40,399
Mr. Kang is in Kapyong, right?
93
00:07:02,547 --> 00:07:03,631
Look at me.
94
00:07:10,513 --> 00:07:12,306
I know what you must be thinking,
95
00:07:12,974 --> 00:07:14,350
but I'm okay.
96
00:07:15,768 --> 00:07:16,811
You see,
97
00:07:17,645 --> 00:07:19,522
I thought of it as a responsibility
98
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:22,567
I must carry.
99
00:07:24,068 --> 00:07:25,445
That's why I'm okay.
100
00:07:33,995 --> 00:07:35,037
I'm sorry
101
00:07:36,747 --> 00:07:38,291
for being so clueless.
102
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:44,589
Even without you telling me,
103
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:47,675
I should've known,
104
00:07:49,719 --> 00:07:51,053
but I had no idea.
105
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:54,682
I'm sorry, Eun-ho.
106
00:08:13,451 --> 00:08:14,410
This...
107
00:08:15,077 --> 00:08:17,830
This is Mr. Kang's manuscript.
108
00:08:18,414 --> 00:08:20,500
The last novel he said he would write.
109
00:08:21,209 --> 00:08:22,210
<i>The Heroes.</i>
110
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:26,297
<i>The Heroes.</i>
111
00:08:28,382 --> 00:08:29,634
"Park Jung-hoon"?
112
00:08:32,553 --> 00:08:33,387
<i>THE HEROES</i>
113
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:09,757
{\an8}All those years
you've been suffering alone
114
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:13,052
{\an8}and I had absolutely no idea.
115
00:09:14,178 --> 00:09:15,555
{\an8}That breaks my heart.
116
00:09:17,473 --> 00:09:19,559
{\an8}On some days, you must've cried all alone.
117
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:22,937
{\an8}And I bet there were days
when you couldn't sleep.
118
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,774
{\an8}At times, you must've felt so alone,
119
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,569
{\an8}thinking that you have no one to lean on.
120
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:33,823
It pains me to know
that you lived like that
121
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:37,076
for so long.
122
00:09:46,377 --> 00:09:47,753
It's very nice here.
123
00:09:48,671 --> 00:09:50,131
I've never slept in this room.
124
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:51,966
Shall we sleep here tonight?
125
00:09:58,180 --> 00:10:01,225
Just tell me that I did the right thing.
126
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,859
The whole time, I wanted to hear that.
127
00:10:11,861 --> 00:10:13,029
That I did the right thing.
128
00:10:19,493 --> 00:10:21,120
I know you, Eun-ho.
129
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:23,873
You must've agonized over it
130
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:26,292
hundreds of times,
131
00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:29,795
trying to figure out
what's best for Mr. Kang.
132
00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:34,133
You did the right thing.
133
00:10:36,677 --> 00:10:37,970
You certainly did.
134
00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:52,902
Who is it?
135
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,448
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>
136
00:10:57,948 --> 00:10:59,575
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>
137
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:02,787
<i>Happy birthday, dear Yeong-cheol</i>
138
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:05,706
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>
139
00:11:10,211 --> 00:11:13,214
Mr. Bong, what brings you here?
140
00:11:13,297 --> 00:11:15,424
It's your birthday
so of course I should visit.
141
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:16,717
I wanted to come by earlier
142
00:11:16,801 --> 00:11:18,094
and make seaweed soup for you,
143
00:11:18,177 --> 00:11:20,096
but I had to visit my brother.
144
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:23,599
What's with that face?
You must be touched.
145
00:11:23,682 --> 00:11:25,684
-I bet no other editor does this for you.
-Thank you.
146
00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:27,186
-Did you have seaweed soup?
-Wait.
147
00:11:28,104 --> 00:11:29,438
These are women's shoes...
148
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:31,023
Should I not have come...
149
00:11:33,484 --> 00:11:34,860
These shoes look very familiar.
150
00:11:34,944 --> 00:11:36,195
Yeong-cheol, who is it?
151
00:11:36,779 --> 00:11:37,947
What are you doing?
152
00:11:40,574 --> 00:11:41,700
Yeong-a.
153
00:11:44,578 --> 00:11:46,789
Did you also stop by
to wish him a happy birthday?
154
00:11:55,923 --> 00:11:57,258
When did you get here?
155
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:00,970
-Yesterday.
-What?
156
00:12:01,762 --> 00:12:03,055
Yesterday?
157
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:04,932
What...
158
00:12:05,599 --> 00:12:08,227
Why? What the hell? Yesterday?
What do you mean?
159
00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:11,439
Yeong-a.
160
00:12:12,481 --> 00:12:14,608
Do you think this makes sense?
161
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:18,154
What doesn't make sense to you?
162
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:20,614
I told you that I'm seeing someone.
163
00:12:20,823 --> 00:12:23,659
What I'm thinking didn't happen, right?
Tell me that it didn't.
164
00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:26,203
Yeong-a.
165
00:12:27,621 --> 00:12:28,664
Did you sleep with him?
166
00:12:30,791 --> 00:12:32,209
Did you really sleep with him?
167
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:35,379
Yes, I did.
168
00:12:37,756 --> 00:12:38,632
Hey, how...
169
00:12:39,216 --> 00:12:41,051
How could you say that?
170
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:43,721
Yeong-a, how could you do this to me?
171
00:12:44,305 --> 00:12:47,391
It's only been a year
since he signed a contract with us.
172
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:49,852
How could you sleep with someone
you met through work--
173
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:52,146
What about us?
Did we meet randomly on the street
174
00:12:52,229 --> 00:12:53,731
and end up getting married?
175
00:12:53,814 --> 00:12:55,107
We met at work as well.
176
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:57,193
Our case is different!
177
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:01,864
What was so special about our case?
178
00:13:04,867 --> 00:13:06,410
What was special about us?
179
00:13:06,494 --> 00:13:07,953
Hey, we were special.
180
00:13:08,037 --> 00:13:11,373
What was special? Special, my ass.
181
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:15,336
Hey, what we had was special.
182
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:20,591
How could you say that about us?
183
00:13:22,384 --> 00:13:23,844
Yeong-a, wait!
184
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:27,556
Yeong-a, let's talk. Please? Don't leave.
185
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,516
Let go.
186
00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:29,850
I said, let go.
187
00:13:42,404 --> 00:13:43,447
My gosh.
188
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:47,993
Gosh, how scary.
189
00:13:52,998 --> 00:13:54,708
Women can be so ruthless.
190
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:58,546
Once they turn their backs on you,
that's it.
191
00:14:22,611 --> 00:14:23,862
AUTHOR CHRONOLOGY
192
00:14:23,946 --> 00:14:25,364
<i>Will you promise me</i>
193
00:14:26,198 --> 00:14:28,033
<i>that you won't write my chronology?</i>
194
00:14:29,285 --> 00:14:32,204
<i>And that you'll make sure I can die</i>
195
00:14:33,122 --> 00:14:36,959
<i>as author Kang Byeong-jun,
not as a senile old man?</i>
196
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,837
<i>Please promise me, Eun-ho.</i>
197
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:45,634
SONG HAE-RIN
198
00:14:58,689 --> 00:14:59,940
Hey, Hae-rin.
199
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:03,944
You'll come here now?
200
00:15:04,653 --> 00:15:05,696
Why?
201
00:15:05,779 --> 00:15:08,157
There's a manuscript you should read.
202
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,327
Someone sent us a manuscript
titled <i>The Heroes</i>.
203
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:14,580
I skimmed through it just in case,
204
00:15:14,663 --> 00:15:16,457
<i>and I think you should take a look at it.</i>
205
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:17,750
What's the title again?
206
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:20,210
<i>The Heroes.</i>
207
00:15:20,294 --> 00:15:23,297
It's the last novel
Mr. Kang Byeong-jun said he'd write.
208
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:25,215
<i>Someone sent us a manuscript of it.</i>
209
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:33,265
This is the manuscript we received.
210
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:35,142
I made a copy of it for myself.
211
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:37,645
I looked up the address, and it's fake.
212
00:15:37,728 --> 00:15:39,355
The phone number doesn't exist either.
213
00:15:40,314 --> 00:15:43,901
As for the e-mail address,
I'm not sure whether it's real or not.
214
00:15:43,984 --> 00:15:45,361
FROM PARK JUNG-HOON
215
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,112
So, you've read it?
216
00:15:49,031 --> 00:15:51,867
Either Mr. Kang has come back,
217
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:52,952
or...
218
00:15:53,535 --> 00:15:56,413
someone is copying Mr. Kang's style.
219
00:15:57,247 --> 00:15:58,374
That's what I think.
220
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:02,461
I joined Gyeoroo because it's the firm
to which Mr. Kang transferred
221
00:16:02,544 --> 00:16:04,880
his publication rights
after declaring his retirement.
222
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:06,382
I was curious.
223
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:09,718
But after joining Gyeoroo,
I realized how odd it is.
224
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:12,262
No one answered when I asked
225
00:16:12,346 --> 00:16:14,306
who received Mr. Kang's declaration.
226
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,186
Even now, you're just sitting there
without saying anything.
227
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:21,855
You were
one of the first founding members.
228
00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:23,315
Do you really not know
229
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:25,234
who received the declaration and contract
230
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:27,403
regarding Mr. Kang's publication rights?
231
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:31,240
I'll take a look at it.
232
00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:34,535
You said it was sent to the office.
Has anyone else seen it?
233
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,080
Yes, Ji-yul saw it.
In fact, I got the manuscript from her.
234
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:40,082
Let's talk more at work
after I go over it.
235
00:16:40,749 --> 00:16:41,959
Get home safely.
236
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:22,916
FROM PARK JUNG-HOON
148-23 ANYEONG-DONG, JONGNO-GU, SEOUL
237
00:17:24,001 --> 00:17:25,419
<i>Hello, Mr. Park Jung-hoon.</i>
238
00:17:25,502 --> 00:17:28,172

00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:31,216

240
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:35,512

241
00:17:36,096 --> 00:17:38,098
<i>I would love to speak with you

242
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:41,226
<i>but when I called the phone number

243
00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:44,229
<i>Here's my number.</i>
244
00:17:44,438 --> 00:17:46,273
<i>Call me

SUBJECT: THIS IS PARK JUNG-HOON
246
00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:18,013
<i>If you tried calling the number,</i>
247
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,599
<i>I'm sure you also know
that the address is fake as well.</i>
248
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:22,935
<i>Then I bet you've already figured out</i>
249
00:18:23,018 --> 00:18:25,604
<i>that I wish to communicate
via e-mail only.</i>
250
00:18:26,688 --> 00:18:28,941
<i>Please e-mail me back
if you'd like to publish the novel.</i>
251
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:31,110
<i>I'll give you one week.</i>
252
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:33,946
<i>I'm in a bit of a rush.</i>
253
00:18:37,533 --> 00:18:38,617
One week?
254
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:46,750
So, Eun-ho knows
255
00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:49,169
that I'm not Mr. Kang.
256
00:18:53,882 --> 00:18:56,552
Where is he? And what is he up to?
257
00:18:58,512 --> 00:18:59,721
I'm sure Cha Eun-ho knows.
258
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:03,475
He's the one who holds the key.
259
00:19:27,916 --> 00:19:33,255
<i>APRIL 23</i>
KANG BYEONG-JUN
260
00:19:35,507 --> 00:19:36,508
Eun-ho!
261
00:19:37,259 --> 00:19:38,218
Hey.
262
00:19:39,094 --> 00:19:40,262
Have you read the manuscript?
263
00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:43,473
I e-mailed the writer,
and he wrote me back.
264
00:19:43,557 --> 00:19:45,100
I'll forward you his reply.
265
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:46,810
So, the e-mail address was real.
266
00:19:47,477 --> 00:19:48,562
What if...
267
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,356
What if it's actually Mr. Kang?
268
00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:54,902
Many authors change their writing styles
269
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,362
and publish their new work
under a pseudonym, you know.
270
00:19:57,446 --> 00:20:00,115
Even Romain Gary published novels
under a pseudonym, Émile Ajar.
271
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:03,535
Well... I'll look into it further,
272
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:06,371
so don't tell anyone else about
the manuscript until we find out more.
273
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:09,166
All right, got it.
I'll let Ji-yul know as well.
274
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,043
Let's go.
275
00:20:15,464 --> 00:20:17,925
Why did you give it to Mr. Cha?
276
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:20,260
Since it was sent from one of our readers,
277
00:20:20,344 --> 00:20:23,513
shouldn't the editor who received it
be in charge of it?
278
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:25,682
Yes, that's how it should be.
But that manuscript--
279
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,893
Because it's
Mr. Kang Byeong-jun's manuscript?
280
00:20:29,311 --> 00:20:32,773
You know that I'm working very hard
these days, right?
281
00:20:32,856 --> 00:20:36,443
Are new employees not allowed to work
282
00:20:36,526 --> 00:20:39,154
with famous writers like Mr. Kang?
283
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,200
Ji-yul.
284
00:20:43,283 --> 00:20:45,035
Who sent that manuscript?
285
00:20:45,827 --> 00:20:46,828
Park Jung-hoon.
286
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:48,956
Someone named Park Jung-hoon
sent it to us.
287
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:50,791
We need to vet it first.
288
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:53,418
Do you understand?
289
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:57,089
Let's have Mr. Cha handle it for now.
290
00:20:57,172 --> 00:20:58,882
Be on the lookout for other manuscripts.
291
00:20:59,174 --> 00:21:00,592
I'm sure you'll find a better one.
292
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:05,639
All right?
293
00:21:06,682 --> 00:21:07,724
Yes, ma'am.
294
00:21:15,774 --> 00:21:18,443
But I want to do it.
295
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:23,073
Yes, I'm sorry.
296
00:21:23,865 --> 00:21:26,493
Mr. Nam isn't here right now.
297
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:28,662
I'm sorry.
298
00:21:28,745 --> 00:21:31,123
I'll make sure you get paid soon.
299
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,083
I'm sorry.
300
00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:42,718
Wasn't that the fifth call today
saying they didn't get paid?
301
00:21:43,593 --> 00:21:44,594
Dan-i.
302
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:46,305
Yes, sir.
303
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:55,897
Dan-i, we took a look
at the marketing proposal
304
00:21:55,981 --> 00:21:57,941
-you gave us.
-Yes?
305
00:21:58,025 --> 00:22:00,360
It was great and ingenious.
306
00:22:02,696 --> 00:22:04,823
But it looked a little pricey.
307
00:22:05,407 --> 00:22:07,743
Aren't there a lot of marketing strategies
that are free?
308
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:09,745
For example, we could use virality.
309
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:13,623
Okay, then. I'll change it to
a low-budget marketing proposal.
310
00:22:15,584 --> 00:22:18,545
I read the manuscript you'll be publishing
311
00:22:18,628 --> 00:22:19,838
on the first half of this year.
312
00:22:19,921 --> 00:22:21,131
Isn't it great?
313
00:22:21,214 --> 00:22:23,300
Don't you think it's going
to be a best seller?
314
00:22:23,925 --> 00:22:25,052
I was thinking...
315
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:28,305
you should reconsider the publication.
316
00:22:30,891 --> 00:22:31,892
Why?
317
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:33,477
Is it not good?
318
00:22:34,061 --> 00:22:34,978
Well...
319
00:22:35,812 --> 00:22:38,148
There was nothing unique
about this writer.
320
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:42,444
Some of his writings even overlap with
other novels that are on the internet.
321
00:22:42,527 --> 00:22:45,447
And it's not much different to the books
that already been published.
322
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:48,658
Dan-i, if novels are short and light,
does that mean they're low quality novels?
323
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:50,452
The answer is no.
324
00:22:50,577 --> 00:22:52,662
There's a reason
why novels like those sell so well.
325
00:22:52,746 --> 00:22:54,122
It's just the trend.
326
00:22:54,456 --> 00:22:56,792
The readers are comforted by
short and light novels.
327
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:00,712
Okay.
328
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:06,718
I need to endure this.
329
00:23:07,594 --> 00:23:09,262
Let's hang in there.
330
00:23:10,388 --> 00:23:11,431
EUN-HO
331
00:23:15,185 --> 00:23:16,603
<i>How about you do some part-time work</i>
332
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:18,438
<i>as Cha Eun-ho's assistant?</i>
333
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:21,149
<i>Let's go to the library
and have dinner afterward.</i>
334
00:23:25,779 --> 00:23:27,823
<i>Sure, I'd love that.</i>
335
00:23:40,335 --> 00:23:41,169
Here it is.
336
00:23:43,463 --> 00:23:44,422
Here.
337
00:23:45,966 --> 00:23:48,385
I want you to summarize
how parents can affect their children
338
00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:51,847
starting from their early infancy
until they turn six years old.
339
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:53,765
-Okay.
-Okay?
340
00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:55,058
Okay, Mr. Cha.
341
00:24:06,069 --> 00:24:07,154
Focus on your book.
342
00:24:10,574 --> 00:24:11,533
Dan-i.
343
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:39,436
I saw Mr. Na's poetry collection
in your bag earlier.
344
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:41,521
Yes, I really like it.
345
00:24:41,605 --> 00:24:42,856
So I carry it around with me
346
00:24:43,023 --> 00:24:45,734
and read it over and over again.
347
00:24:47,194 --> 00:24:48,445
Out of all the poems,
348
00:24:49,237 --> 00:24:51,907
<i>Because of You</i> is my favorite one.
349
00:24:54,534 --> 00:24:57,412
"Because of you, I do not sway
350
00:24:57,954 --> 00:25:00,790
until the very end
regardless of how windy it gets."
351
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:04,461
"Although this world is
full of frowns and grimaces,
352
00:25:05,378 --> 00:25:07,380
because of you, I've become someone
353
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:12,093
who can smile even when I'm on my own."
354
00:25:13,428 --> 00:25:15,639
"Thank you. I am happy
355
00:25:17,265 --> 00:25:20,518
for I could stay strong
even during the most difficult days."
356
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:30,862
Why are you looking at me like that?
357
00:25:31,154 --> 00:25:34,157
If you keep looking at me like that,
I'll kiss you in the middle of the street.
358
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:39,412
-I'd just do it if I were you.
-Dan-i.
359
00:25:41,122 --> 00:25:42,415
Dan-i, okay.
360
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:44,751
I'll just do it this time.
361
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:46,169
-Give me one more chance.
-No.
362
00:25:46,253 --> 00:25:48,046
-It's too late.
-Come on. Let me try again.
363
00:25:48,129 --> 00:25:49,589
-No, thank you.
-Come here.
364
00:25:49,673 --> 00:25:52,050
-You can't do it.
-Yes, I can.
365
00:25:53,134 --> 00:25:56,137
I could've done a really good job on
<i>The Heroes</i>.
366
00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:58,807
I mean, no one knows yet.
367
00:25:59,307 --> 00:26:01,810
How can they be sure it's
Mr. Kang Byeong-jun's work?
368
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:04,104
Right.
369
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:06,898
What are you doing?
You're not listening to me.
370
00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:10,360
{\an8}GYU-SEOK
371
00:26:12,612 --> 00:26:13,446
HYE-IN
372
00:26:14,614 --> 00:26:16,908
SEND A MESSAGE
373
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:19,452
That's a girl.
374
00:26:19,536 --> 00:26:20,745
This is fun.
375
00:26:21,329 --> 00:26:24,082
It connects you with various people
who live nearby.
376
00:26:24,165 --> 00:26:27,294
Does that mean
it just connected you with this girl?
377
00:26:27,377 --> 00:26:28,503
Yes.
378
00:26:29,129 --> 00:26:30,088
I'd like to meet her.
379
00:26:31,256 --> 00:26:32,340
I should get off here.
380
00:26:33,133 --> 00:26:34,843
Hey, we still have one more stop to go.
381
00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:36,928
-You can go.
-Are you on your way to meet her?
382
00:26:37,012 --> 00:26:38,096
Yes.
383
00:26:38,763 --> 00:26:39,806
Thank you, sir.
384
00:26:43,935 --> 00:26:44,811
What should I do?
385
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:47,939
I should've gotten off.
He's meeting a girl.
386
00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:53,111
Sir, can I get off right now?
387
00:26:53,695 --> 00:26:56,156
I really need to get off, sir.
388
00:27:08,752 --> 00:27:10,503
It's not like I took a train.
389
00:27:10,754 --> 00:27:13,423
Why is the next stop so far away?
390
00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:17,510
Gosh.
391
00:27:18,094 --> 00:27:21,348
Wait for me, Hoon!
392
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:22,682
-Goodness.
-Are you okay?
393
00:27:25,852 --> 00:27:27,771
Something doesn't feel right.
394
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:29,773
I have a really accurate hunch.
395
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:32,901
And my sensitive heart is
feeling really anxious right now.
396
00:27:33,610 --> 00:27:36,404
-I'll come back after I calm down a bit.
-Okay, sure.
397
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:37,530
I'll be fine.
398
00:27:47,123 --> 00:27:49,209
Goodness, excuse me.
399
00:27:49,292 --> 00:27:52,879
But I have something to tell you
about the guy who was just sitting here.
400
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:56,716
I'm his roommate.
401
00:27:57,092 --> 00:27:58,760
What? So?
402
00:27:58,843 --> 00:28:01,638
What do you mean "So?"
Don't you know what a roommate is?
403
00:28:01,721 --> 00:28:04,599
It means I'm living with the guy
that was sitting here.
404
00:28:06,601 --> 00:28:09,229
Shouldn't you feel
at least a little bit guilty?
405
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:11,356
Excuse me.
406
00:28:12,982 --> 00:28:14,442
Keep in mind
407
00:28:15,026 --> 00:28:17,737
that he's living with me right now.
408
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,573
The toilet is clogged.
This is a serious situation.
409
00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:22,325
People are waiting in line.
410
00:28:22,409 --> 00:28:24,285
Can you please unclog it
as soon as possible?
411
00:28:24,577 --> 00:28:25,703
Please.
412
00:28:33,169 --> 00:28:34,504
I'm sorry.
413
00:28:40,510 --> 00:28:44,097
I'd love to study with people
who are working in the same field.
414
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:47,350
When can I join the study group?
415
00:28:47,434 --> 00:28:49,728
I don't think you can join.
416
00:28:51,187 --> 00:28:54,607
Why not? I'm a passionate
and ambitious marketer.
417
00:28:54,691 --> 00:28:57,569
Your roommate is way too scary.
418
00:28:58,153 --> 00:29:00,864
She just came here and threw a fit.
419
00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:02,699
Ji-yul was here?
420
00:29:02,991 --> 00:29:04,033
Why?
421
00:29:04,117 --> 00:29:06,745
Why was she here? Hey, wait.
422
00:29:10,623 --> 00:29:12,125
<i>Why did you do that, Ji-yul?</i>
423
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:16,921
Ji-yul, why did you do that?
424
00:29:17,297 --> 00:29:18,715
Why did you go there?
425
00:29:20,091 --> 00:29:22,385
Don't tell me you like Hoon.
426
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:25,805
No way.
427
00:29:26,139 --> 00:29:27,849
I don't like Hoon.
428
00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:29,184
Ji-yul!
429
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:45,950
What's your problem? I heard you came to
the cafe and threw a fit.
430
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,119
What's going on?
431
00:29:48,203 --> 00:29:50,038
Why is my heart beating so fast?
432
00:29:51,498 --> 00:29:53,500
No, it can't be.
433
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:55,543
Why did you do that?
434
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:58,254
Do you know how hard it was
to find a marketer who lives nearby?
435
00:30:01,674 --> 00:30:02,675
A marketer?
436
00:30:05,428 --> 00:30:06,596
That's why you met her?
437
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:09,432
Oh, I get it now.
You wanted to meet a marketer.
438
00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:12,685
You must've wanted to meet someone
who works in the same field.
439
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:19,400
I guess I was mistaken.
440
00:30:23,446 --> 00:30:25,073
You're scaring me. Stop it.
441
00:30:43,591 --> 00:30:47,220
This is so weird. Why does it feel like
I've read this before?
442
00:30:51,140 --> 00:30:52,642
I wonder why I feel this way.
443
00:30:57,814 --> 00:31:00,066
WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN 7 DAYS
444
00:31:04,904 --> 00:31:06,155
There's just one more week left.
445
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:09,075
You also entered the contest?
446
00:31:10,785 --> 00:31:11,786
Of course.
447
00:31:12,453 --> 00:31:14,330
I'm also an employee here.
448
00:31:18,084 --> 00:31:19,460
That means
449
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:23,214
the founding members
are busy evaluating our work right now.
450
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:38,313
Let's see.
451
00:31:48,823 --> 00:31:49,949
Gosh, you startled me.
452
00:31:56,331 --> 00:31:57,957
I don't accept any bribes.
453
00:31:58,124 --> 00:31:59,459
I'm a fair person.
454
00:32:11,012 --> 00:32:12,055
Mr. Kim.
455
00:32:13,389 --> 00:32:15,642
Did you find anything good?
456
00:32:18,561 --> 00:32:21,898
If you're talking about the contest,
we agreed to evaluate it separately.
457
00:32:22,482 --> 00:32:24,442
I saw something interesting about...
458
00:32:24,525 --> 00:32:26,486
Don't tell me.
It will affect my evaluation.
459
00:32:26,569 --> 00:32:28,738
We need to be fair when we evaluate.
460
00:32:29,697 --> 00:32:30,949
I was just talking to myself.
461
00:32:31,532 --> 00:32:32,909
Bye.
462
00:32:38,831 --> 00:32:39,666
Hello?
463
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:41,834
Excuse me.
464
00:32:41,918 --> 00:32:43,127
PUBLICATION PROPOSAL
465
00:32:43,211 --> 00:32:44,921
-Just a second.
-<i>Gosh, it's mine.</i>
466
00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:47,382
<i>It's mine.</i>
467
00:32:47,465 --> 00:32:50,009
<i>I'm going to win the prize money.
The winner's going to be me.</i>
468
00:32:50,093 --> 00:32:51,135
Yes, thank you.
469
00:32:53,721 --> 00:32:54,555
No problem.
470
00:33:01,104 --> 00:33:02,939
NUMBER: 54
471
00:33:05,441 --> 00:33:07,443
<i>It's mine.</i>
472
00:33:13,282 --> 00:33:14,283
It's going to be me.
473
00:33:19,831 --> 00:33:21,499
Did you really sleep with Yeong-cheol?
474
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:27,296
-Yes.
-No, you're lying.
475
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:29,507
You just went there
because he works with us,
476
00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:31,259
and it happened to be his birthday.
477
00:33:31,342 --> 00:33:32,635
Think whatever you want.
478
00:33:33,386 --> 00:33:34,220
What are you...
479
00:33:34,303 --> 00:33:35,555
Hey, tell me it's not true.
480
00:33:35,638 --> 00:33:38,933
I realized this time around
that I need three men.
481
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:41,477
A funny guy, a rich guy,
482
00:33:41,561 --> 00:33:43,604
-and a guy who's good.
-What?
483
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:45,815
Good at what?
484
00:33:46,733 --> 00:33:47,692
What...
485
00:33:48,317 --> 00:33:50,319
There's no way. She's just bluffing.
486
00:33:51,070 --> 00:33:52,113
She's just...
487
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,743
I'm going to kill Yeong-cheol.
488
00:34:01,497 --> 00:34:02,331
PART-TIME MENTORING
489
00:34:02,415 --> 00:34:04,125
MEETING A TRUE MENTOR
490
00:34:04,208 --> 00:34:05,668
This is nice.
491
00:34:05,752 --> 00:34:07,378
MARKETABILITY, CREATIVITY
OUTSTANDING
492
00:34:11,966 --> 00:34:14,510
MEETING A TRUE MENTOR
493
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:19,307
COULD THIS BE DAN-I'S PROPOSAL?
494
00:34:26,522 --> 00:34:27,607
My gosh.
495
00:34:29,609 --> 00:34:30,610
You can't see it.
496
00:34:30,818 --> 00:34:32,987
I just came to give you this.
497
00:34:35,531 --> 00:34:36,783
You don't work here anymore.
498
00:34:36,866 --> 00:34:39,452
I seriously just came to give you this.
Drink some while working.
499
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:40,995
-With no strings attached?
-Of course.
500
00:34:42,622 --> 00:34:44,415
Goodness, really?
501
00:34:44,499 --> 00:34:45,374
Go over there.
502
00:34:47,335 --> 00:34:50,463
Don't come here, okay?
You'd better not come here.
503
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,469
This one stands out the most.
504
00:34:56,552 --> 00:34:57,804
It has a clear concept,
505
00:34:57,887 --> 00:35:00,264
and I like that it's trendy
and marketable.
506
00:35:00,431 --> 00:35:01,265
I agree.
507
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:03,226
I like the idea of approaching our readers
508
00:35:03,309 --> 00:35:04,685
as adults and mentors.
509
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:06,771
The best thing about this proposal is
510
00:35:06,854 --> 00:35:09,315
that it has a long-term business value.
511
00:35:09,398 --> 00:35:11,150
I like that it's going to be a paperback,
512
00:35:11,234 --> 00:35:13,111
and I like how the book
is going to be organized.
513
00:35:13,194 --> 00:35:16,781
It was the most realistic proposal
that coincides with the industry of today.
514
00:35:16,864 --> 00:35:19,200
So everyone likes it. I do too.
515
00:35:19,283 --> 00:35:21,994
It can be published
in the form of a series.
516
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:24,205
Whoever suggested it
has a long-term perspective.
517
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,708
-Then it's a unanimous decision, right?
-Right.
518
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:30,419
Then let's see who suggested this.
519
00:35:32,713 --> 00:35:33,965
Gosh, this is nerve-wracking.
520
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:36,175
Once we type in the number,
521
00:35:36,259 --> 00:35:38,719
we'll see who the winner is.
522
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:40,138
I wonder who it is.
523
00:35:40,721 --> 00:35:42,974
I'll let you know in a second.
524
00:35:43,057 --> 00:35:44,475
Who knows? It could be Ji-yul.
525
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:45,852
-That's right.
-I doubt it.
526
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:48,104
I'm not kidding. She's been working hard.
527
00:35:49,856 --> 00:35:50,690
All right.
528
00:35:51,482 --> 00:35:52,483
I'll now press "enter."
529
00:36:01,409 --> 00:36:02,785
-Is it Ji-yul?
-Really?
530
00:36:03,452 --> 00:36:04,287
What?
531
00:36:05,955 --> 00:36:07,081
-What's wrong?
-Who is it?
532
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:09,167
-Is it Ji-yul?
-I'm going to get a cup of coffee.
533
00:36:09,250 --> 00:36:10,626
Why?
534
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:12,962
-What's wrong?
-Who is it?
535
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:14,881
Who won?
536
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:36,194
-No way.
-Unbelievable.
537
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:53,085
CONGRATULATIONS! NUMBER 56,
TASK SUPPORT TEAM, KANG DAN-I
538
00:36:54,128 --> 00:36:55,963
It was Dan-i's?
539
00:36:57,673 --> 00:36:59,592
But she no longer works here.
540
00:36:59,675 --> 00:37:02,762
Should we choose someone else then?
541
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:05,389
It's not like we can rehire her.
542
00:37:06,891 --> 00:37:07,934
What do we do?
543
00:37:09,143 --> 00:37:12,188
-Maybe I should check again.
-What's the point?
544
00:37:12,271 --> 00:37:14,899
I knew she'd go out with a bang.
545
00:37:15,691 --> 00:37:17,026
That's my Dan-i.
546
00:37:17,109 --> 00:37:18,027
Jeez.
547
00:37:37,755 --> 00:37:39,173
What's wrong with the translation?
548
00:37:40,383 --> 00:37:44,220
It's as if a number of people
each translated a different section.
549
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:46,555
The tone is not consistent.
550
00:37:50,768 --> 00:37:53,145
SHE'S NOT AN ANGEL
551
00:37:53,896 --> 00:37:56,190
SHE'S NOT AN ANGEL
552
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:57,108
What is this?
553
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:05,533
I AM SATISFIED
554
00:38:05,616 --> 00:38:07,285
I AM SATISFIED
555
00:38:07,368 --> 00:38:08,369
It's the same.
556
00:38:10,579 --> 00:38:11,622
No way.
557
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:19,130
Even the errors are the same.
558
00:38:20,589 --> 00:38:25,344
So this translator
copy and pasted sections from
559
00:38:25,928 --> 00:38:27,805
books that have already been translated?
560
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:31,017
The translator must be insane.
561
00:38:33,477 --> 00:38:34,603
{\an8}<i>THE SORROWS OF YOUNG WERTHER</i>
562
00:38:36,939 --> 00:38:38,607
-Sir, you're back.
-That I am.
563
00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:50,369
Sir.
564
00:38:51,579 --> 00:38:53,831
I don't think we can publish
this manuscript.
565
00:38:54,123 --> 00:38:57,043
-There is a problem with the translation.
-What do you mean?
566
00:38:57,293 --> 00:38:58,669
What problem are you talking about?
567
00:38:59,545 --> 00:39:00,755
I'm sorry to say this,
568
00:39:02,089 --> 00:39:04,800
but it's a mixture of translations
from different books.
569
00:39:05,301 --> 00:39:07,219
See? Even the mistakes are the same.
570
00:39:07,803 --> 00:39:09,305
-Dan-i.
-Yes, sir.
571
00:39:10,139 --> 00:39:12,433
I'll contact the translator myself.
572
00:39:15,311 --> 00:39:17,313
Don't make a big deal out of it.
573
00:39:19,732 --> 00:39:20,983
Did you...
574
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:23,444
know about this?
575
00:39:23,527 --> 00:39:25,196
I've already paid the translator
576
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:28,908
and we've settled on a book design.
It's hard to start over.
577
00:39:28,991 --> 00:39:32,244
Then what about the people
who worked hard to make those books?
578
00:39:32,828 --> 00:39:35,498
What about the translators
that actually did the work?
579
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:38,459
Dan-i.
580
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:42,421
Why don't you go back to your work
instead of arguing with me here?
581
00:40:13,953 --> 00:40:16,914
Ji-yul, Isn't the result supposed
to come out today?
582
00:40:18,332 --> 00:40:21,710
That's right. Isn't the competition winner
being announced today?
583
00:40:22,044 --> 00:40:24,630
Why haven't we heard anything yet?
584
00:40:31,971 --> 00:40:34,974
Caffeine. I need coffee.
585
00:40:35,558 --> 00:40:37,059
What is it? What do you want?
586
00:40:37,143 --> 00:40:38,185
-Sorry?
-Look away.
587
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:40,062
-What?
-Get back to work.
588
00:40:40,146 --> 00:40:41,021
Sure.
589
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:53,951
Is that fun?
590
00:40:57,621 --> 00:40:59,415
This was the problem.
591
00:40:59,498 --> 00:41:01,667
Why did we write this on the announcement?
592
00:41:03,419 --> 00:41:06,755
"Anyone of Gyeoroo Publishing
can enter the contest."
593
00:41:07,548 --> 00:41:08,466
Anyone.
594
00:41:08,549 --> 00:41:09,508
Anyone?
595
00:41:10,759 --> 00:41:12,428
If only we had corrected this...
596
00:41:13,262 --> 00:41:14,972
This includes contract employees too.
597
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:24,565
Mr. Cha!
598
00:41:24,899 --> 00:41:26,817
Mr. Cha just left for his lecture.
599
00:41:26,901 --> 00:41:28,235
Damn it.
600
00:41:29,528 --> 00:41:32,948
What are we going to do?
It's almost time to make the announcement.
601
00:41:33,699 --> 00:41:35,201
I'm talking about Dan-i.
602
00:41:37,244 --> 00:41:40,164
We need to be fair.
It was an anonymous contest.
603
00:41:40,247 --> 00:41:43,042
But how on earth can we be fair now?
604
00:41:43,834 --> 00:41:46,712
Doesn't our company
have a special recruitment policy?
605
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:50,799
A special recruitment?
606
00:41:52,885 --> 00:41:55,346
Wait. Can we do that?
607
00:41:57,765 --> 00:41:59,225
Why are you asking me?
608
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:01,602
It's in the regulations.
609
00:42:09,235 --> 00:42:10,945
-What's going on?
-I don't know.
610
00:42:11,820 --> 00:42:13,072
This is unbelievable.
611
00:42:24,583 --> 00:42:26,418
<i>THE SORROWS OF YOUNG WERTHER</i>
612
00:42:36,512 --> 00:42:39,557
{\an8}<i>JOYS AND SORROWS OF WORK</i>
613
00:42:41,642 --> 00:42:42,893
<i>Let's just print 7,000 copies.</i>
614
00:42:42,977 --> 00:42:46,063
Who'd buy 7,000 copies of a book
by a no-name rookie author?
615
00:42:46,146 --> 00:42:48,440
Why did you make a book that won't sell
to begin with?
616
00:42:49,024 --> 00:42:51,110
We're having this meeting now
617
00:42:51,193 --> 00:42:52,861
to figure out a way to make it sell.
618
00:42:52,945 --> 00:42:54,947
Then 5,000 it is.
Let's start with 5,000 copies.
619
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:57,700
Since it's his debut novel,
we'll do a good job with marketing...
620
00:42:58,867 --> 00:43:00,202
That must be Ms. Yu's manuscript.
621
00:43:00,286 --> 00:43:01,954
Where? Where is it?
622
00:43:05,124 --> 00:43:07,543
I can smell it.
It is the smell of a best seller.
623
00:43:12,381 --> 00:43:15,092
I don't want to stick stickers
on those books either.
624
00:43:15,175 --> 00:43:16,218
But
625
00:43:17,052 --> 00:43:19,847
I can't let 5,000 copies get shredded
into little pieces of paper.
626
00:43:20,723 --> 00:43:23,892
Everyone, we just got additional orders
for two books.
627
00:43:26,437 --> 00:43:27,730
That one's mine.
628
00:43:27,813 --> 00:43:29,023
I did it. I edited that book.
629
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:31,317
What did I tell you?
I told you it'd do well.
630
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,861
Are you kidding? That's because
the marketing strategy was nice.
631
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:44,330
This is wrong.
632
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:10,814
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
633
00:44:11,815 --> 00:44:13,108
A letter of resignation?
634
00:44:13,192 --> 00:44:14,985
Dan-i, what--
635
00:44:15,069 --> 00:44:16,945
This is an act of robbery.
636
00:44:17,029 --> 00:44:19,073
Copying and pasting
other people's translations?
637
00:44:19,156 --> 00:44:22,534
What does that mean
for the editors of those books?
638
00:44:22,618 --> 00:44:25,829
What does it mean for the marketers
who worked hard to sell those books?
639
00:44:25,913 --> 00:44:27,831
You're stealing their hard work
640
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:31,710
and readers will buy this book
without knowing anything.
641
00:44:31,794 --> 00:44:33,545
Still, you can't resign--
642
00:44:33,837 --> 00:44:36,465
I can't work here anymore.
643
00:44:37,049 --> 00:44:40,135
I feel bad for the papers and trees.
644
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,306
I'm too embarrassed to face
other publishers and editors.
645
00:44:46,975 --> 00:44:49,937
That's why I can't work here anymore.
646
00:44:53,857 --> 00:44:55,025
Dan-i...
647
00:45:28,308 --> 00:45:29,601
I'm unemployed again.
648
00:45:30,436 --> 00:45:33,439
I seriously need to learn
how to control my temper.
649
00:45:33,522 --> 00:45:34,982
You idiot.
650
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:48,245
Mr. Kim, how--
651
00:45:48,328 --> 00:45:49,997
Are you Ms. Kang Dan-i?
652
00:45:51,874 --> 00:45:53,125
Yes.
653
00:45:53,208 --> 00:45:54,626
I'm President Kim Jae-min
654
00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:56,920
of Gyeoroo Publishing.
655
00:45:57,004 --> 00:45:58,172
I'm here
656
00:45:59,339 --> 00:46:01,008
to offer you a job.
657
00:46:03,010 --> 00:46:06,638
You will receive a raise of 150 percent.
658
00:46:07,222 --> 00:46:08,849
But why...
659
00:46:13,770 --> 00:46:16,982
I've been doing well
at this publishing company though.
660
00:46:17,065 --> 00:46:19,193
Well, is that so?
661
00:46:19,276 --> 00:46:21,403
Then how about 200 percent?
662
00:46:24,156 --> 00:46:27,117
I'm going to be a founding member.
663
00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:30,454
It's a small company,
so building it together is fun--
664
00:46:31,663 --> 00:46:34,249
You'll be in the Marketing Team,
not the Task Support Team.
665
00:46:34,333 --> 00:46:38,879
You'll be scouted
based on our special recruitment policy.
666
00:46:40,047 --> 00:46:41,048
Really?
667
00:46:59,024 --> 00:47:01,193
I just lost my appetite.
668
00:47:01,777 --> 00:47:05,030
Are you saying that it's over
669
00:47:05,155 --> 00:47:06,823
between you and that tall girl?
670
00:47:10,327 --> 00:47:11,954
You bored her, didn't you?
671
00:47:12,538 --> 00:47:14,915
Young ladies these days
like men with a sense of humor.
672
00:47:15,165 --> 00:47:17,334
Stop teasing me.
I already feel bad about it.
673
00:47:18,418 --> 00:47:21,672
If she left, then
you should just let her go.
674
00:47:31,557 --> 00:47:35,352
Is that why you had me
without letting him know?
675
00:47:38,146 --> 00:47:39,356
It was for the best, wasn't it?
676
00:47:40,023 --> 00:47:42,901
I was given a sweet boy like you.
677
00:47:48,323 --> 00:47:50,492
Don't you miss him?
678
00:47:53,745 --> 00:47:56,123
I do want to see him once more,
679
00:47:57,874 --> 00:48:01,086
but life doesn't turn out the way
you want it to.
680
00:48:26,862 --> 00:48:28,113
Kim Hyeon.

Park Seong-hun.
684
00:48:37,205 --> 00:48:39,082
Aren't you heading home?
685
00:48:39,166 --> 00:48:41,418
I still have something to check.
686
00:48:43,503 --> 00:48:45,130
If you haven't had dinner,
687
00:48:45,213 --> 00:48:47,633
why don't we order something?
Ms. Go is still here too.
688
00:48:48,634 --> 00:48:51,928
It's all right.
I'm cleaning up and heading home.
689
00:48:52,512 --> 00:48:53,430
Sure.

CONTRACT TERMINATION AGREEMENT
LEE JEONG-SEOP
693
00:49:12,991 --> 00:49:15,452
Answer me.
Did you send out the notice or not?
694
00:49:16,036 --> 00:49:17,371
I did.
695
00:49:18,288 --> 00:49:19,623
I asked Dan-i to do it.
696
00:49:20,415 --> 00:49:23,001
Remember? I asked you
697
00:49:23,418 --> 00:49:26,672
to send the report regarding
the contract termination to Sales Support.
698
00:49:26,755 --> 00:49:28,632
I never received such a report--
699
00:49:28,715 --> 00:49:31,551
I asked you to take care of it
before Ms. Yu's book reading event.
700
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:44,648
I have no choice.
701
00:49:46,483 --> 00:49:47,776
CONTRACT TERMINATION AGREEMENT
702
00:49:48,402 --> 00:49:49,778
Go in faster.
703
00:49:50,654 --> 00:49:52,030
CONTRACT TERMINATION AGREEMENT
704
00:49:53,949 --> 00:49:56,118
What's happening? What am I going to do?
705
00:49:58,161 --> 00:49:59,996
Song-i, you know that...
706
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,248
Yes?
707
00:50:02,833 --> 00:50:04,876
What is it? Has the shredder broken down?
708
00:50:06,294 --> 00:50:07,295
Why...
709
00:50:13,844 --> 00:50:17,139
{\an8}CONTRACT TERMINATION AGREEMENT
LEE JEONG-SEOP
710
00:50:17,931 --> 00:50:19,099
Chae Song-i.
711
00:50:22,644 --> 00:50:26,648
Does this mean
it was your mistake, not Dan-i's?
712
00:50:27,399 --> 00:50:30,402
Did you blame the contract worker
for your mistake?
713
00:50:32,237 --> 00:50:34,364
No, that's not true. I didn't.
714
00:50:34,448 --> 00:50:36,158
I just forgot about it.
715
00:50:36,241 --> 00:50:38,910
Did you think it would be over
if you just got rid of the contract?
716
00:50:39,369 --> 00:50:41,246
What is going on, Ms. Go?
717
00:50:44,916 --> 00:50:47,002
Make sure she writes a report about this.
718
00:50:47,627 --> 00:50:49,337
It was Song-i who made the mistake
719
00:50:49,421 --> 00:50:51,214
about Lee Jeong-seop's
contract termination.
720
00:50:57,637 --> 00:50:59,723
I really thought I asked her to send it.
721
00:51:01,266 --> 00:51:03,226
But it all worked out in the end.
722
00:51:03,477 --> 00:51:05,604
I heard that Mr. Kim rehired her.
723
00:51:07,397 --> 00:51:08,440
I'm sorry.
724
00:51:11,026 --> 00:51:12,903
APPROVAL REQUEST FOR NEW ORDERS
725
00:51:14,446 --> 00:51:15,655
This garbage!
726
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,075
I'll get this out of your sight.
727
00:51:19,159 --> 00:51:20,619
-Let go.
-I'll throw it away.
728
00:51:20,702 --> 00:51:22,788
-Will you just let go?
-I'll throw it away for you.
729
00:51:27,042 --> 00:51:28,376
APPROVAL REQUEST FOR NEW ORDERS
730
00:51:36,343 --> 00:51:37,219

{\an8}YEONG-JU RAN INTO THE YARD WITH THE BOOK
732
00:51:47,646 --> 00:51:50,440
"Yeong-ju ran into the yard with the book.
733
00:51:50,524 --> 00:51:51,817
Hyeon ran after her.
734
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,027
Yeong-ju and Hyeon's bright laughter
735
00:51:54,110 --> 00:51:56,321
filled their small yard."
736
00:51:56,404 --> 00:51:57,447
What's the title...
737
00:52:03,286 --> 00:52:04,454
It was Ji Seo-jun.
738
00:52:06,414 --> 00:52:07,541
It's Ji Seo-jun.
739
00:52:12,754 --> 00:52:14,714
Why the hell did he do this?
740
00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:22,722
No, I should call Eun-ho first.
741
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:31,356
SONG HAE-RIN
742
00:52:31,439 --> 00:52:33,191
So when are you coming back to work?
743
00:52:33,733 --> 00:52:34,776
I start tomorrow.
744
00:52:36,236 --> 00:52:37,529
You should rest for a few days.
745
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,031
I want to start working right away.
746
00:52:40,407 --> 00:52:41,491
I miss everyone too.
747
00:52:44,077 --> 00:52:45,036
Tomorrow is Friday.
748
00:52:45,245 --> 00:52:47,372
Do you want to go on a trip after work?
749
00:52:48,373 --> 00:52:51,501
I'm sorry, but I'm going to
Kapyong to visit Mr. Kang tomorrow.
750
00:52:52,002 --> 00:52:52,878
Let's go next week.
751
00:52:52,961 --> 00:52:54,921
-Think of a place you want to go.
-Okay.
752
00:52:56,047 --> 00:52:58,884
I couldn't stop thinking about that.
753
00:52:59,467 --> 00:53:00,385
What?
754
00:53:01,011 --> 00:53:04,014
The diary said his son visited him.
755
00:53:04,723 --> 00:53:06,558
He wrote something else in his diary.
756
00:53:07,350 --> 00:53:09,102
That he considers me his son.
757
00:53:09,185 --> 00:53:10,437
No.
758
00:53:10,896 --> 00:53:14,232
He thought you were his son
because he couldn't remember his son.
759
00:53:14,858 --> 00:53:15,901
I did find that weird.
760
00:53:16,484 --> 00:53:18,361
I didn't visit Mr. Kang that day,
761
00:53:19,654 --> 00:53:23,742
but he kept mixing up the dates. Sometimes
he even forgot to write the dates.
762
00:53:27,704 --> 00:53:28,872
Who is it at this hour?
763
00:53:33,710 --> 00:53:35,253
It's Ms. Song. What should I do?
764
00:53:35,337 --> 00:53:37,255
It's fine.
Hae-rin knows that we live together.
765
00:53:40,759 --> 00:53:42,802
<i>Eun-ho, why didn't you answer your phone?</i>
766
00:53:42,886 --> 00:53:45,597
-My phone? Where did I put it?
<i>-Open up. it's urgent.</i>
767
00:53:46,348 --> 00:53:47,182
Okay.
768
00:53:48,350 --> 00:53:50,393
What should I do? I should be in my room.
769
00:53:51,186 --> 00:53:52,771
No, that's okay. Stay here.
770
00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:54,356
Stay here.
771
00:53:57,776 --> 00:53:59,694
Eun-ho, the manuscript for <i>The Heroes</i>...
772
00:54:01,780 --> 00:54:03,031
It's been a while, Ms. Song.
773
00:54:03,114 --> 00:54:04,532
Dan-i, have you been well?
774
00:54:04,783 --> 00:54:06,534
I heard that
you will be coming back to work.
775
00:54:06,618 --> 00:54:07,869
Congratulations.
776
00:54:08,703 --> 00:54:10,121
Sit down first. We'll talk then.
777
00:54:10,205 --> 00:54:11,998
Why didn't you answer your phone?
778
00:54:12,082 --> 00:54:13,708
Do you know how many times I called you?
779
00:54:14,376 --> 00:54:16,336
I don't know. Where did my phone go?
780
00:54:16,419 --> 00:54:17,837
-I'll go look for it.
-Okay.
781
00:54:21,216 --> 00:54:23,134
Eun-ho, it was Ji Seo-jun.
782
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:27,055
The writer who wrote <i>The Heroes</i>.
783
00:54:28,014 --> 00:54:28,932
It was Ji Seo-jun.
784
00:54:30,517 --> 00:54:33,728
It's definitely the same sentence
from the shredded paper I saw that day.
785
00:54:34,354 --> 00:54:36,231
He majored in Korean Literature.
786
00:54:47,534 --> 00:54:49,411
That's all right. Sit down.
It's about work.
787
00:54:53,707 --> 00:54:55,375
It was on vibrate, so I couldn't hear it.
788
00:54:58,628 --> 00:55:02,007
I didn't tell you because you might worry.
Someone sent our company a manuscript.
789
00:55:02,590 --> 00:55:04,718
The title is <i>The Heroes.</i>
790
00:55:07,137 --> 00:55:10,098
You just thought
of Mr. Kang Byeong-jun, right?
791
00:55:10,890 --> 00:55:13,518
But the name of the writer
was Park Jung-hoon.
792
00:55:14,102 --> 00:55:16,771
Something seemed off,
so we were keeping it between ourselves.
793
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:18,023
I've just found out
794
00:55:19,274 --> 00:55:22,277
that it was Seo-jun
who wrote the manuscript.
795
00:55:28,533 --> 00:55:29,743
DATE OF BIRTH: 04.23.91
796
00:55:29,826 --> 00:55:31,286
<i>"April 23."</i>
797
00:55:32,954 --> 00:55:33,913
Pardon?
798
00:55:34,122 --> 00:55:35,915
That's Seo-jun's birthday.
799
00:55:36,249 --> 00:55:37,709
It was on his contract.
800
00:55:39,044 --> 00:55:41,046
-What's the passcode?
-It's 0423.
801
00:55:41,129 --> 00:55:42,464
-It's 0423?
-Yes.
802
00:55:42,547 --> 00:55:44,049
Okay. 0423.
803
00:55:44,215 --> 00:55:45,133

806
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,898
<i>My son visited me.</i>
807
00:56:00,899 --> 00:56:02,025
He's the son.
808
00:56:03,401 --> 00:56:04,736
He's Mr. Kang's son.
809
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:10,742
What do you mean?
810
00:56:16,039 --> 00:56:17,123
I think Seo-jun
811
00:56:18,541 --> 00:56:20,460
is Mr. Kang's son.
812
00:56:23,505 --> 00:56:24,506
Wait...
813
00:56:25,131 --> 00:56:27,884
Mr. Kang lived alone all his life,
didn't he?
814
00:56:33,556 --> 00:56:35,475
There's something
you're not telling me, right?
815
00:56:39,020 --> 00:56:40,105
Shouldn't I know?
816
00:57:00,625 --> 00:57:02,669

Let's meet tomorrow afternoon.
821
00:57:50,675 --> 00:57:52,594
Please help my mom. That's all I ask.
822
00:57:53,344 --> 00:57:55,763
Please help her,
823
00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:58,641
<i>sir.</i>
824
00:58:11,946 --> 00:58:14,073
I didn't think
you would like places like this.
825
00:58:15,700 --> 00:58:17,410
I was in high school
when I first came here.
826
00:58:18,453 --> 00:58:20,079
Back then,
I only had green onion pancakes.
827
00:58:21,664 --> 00:58:23,625
Mr. Kang really liked this bar.
828
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,766
I thought you'd like this one as well.
829
00:58:40,642 --> 00:58:43,520
You're Mr. Kang Byeong-jun's fan.
830
00:58:47,941 --> 00:58:50,902
Are you telling me that
Mr. Kang wrote this novel?
831
00:58:52,904 --> 00:58:55,365
People who don't know him well
might think that he did,
832
00:58:55,782 --> 00:58:57,200
but I beg to differ.
833
00:58:59,369 --> 00:59:00,745
How can you be so sure?
834
00:59:01,371 --> 00:59:04,582
No one would write a full-length novel
just because they're his fan,
835
00:59:05,458 --> 00:59:06,751
Mr. Park Jung-hoon.
836
00:59:08,753 --> 00:59:10,046
Shall I let you in on a secret?
837
00:59:11,005 --> 00:59:12,924
The secret behind the title
838
00:59:13,007 --> 00:59:15,176
of Mr. Kang's last novel, <i>April 23</i>.
839
00:59:28,273 --> 00:59:30,358
A FAIR PART OF THIS UNFAIR WORLD
IS EVERYONE LIVES ONCE
840
00:59:30,441 --> 00:59:32,485
WHAT KIND OF LIFE IT'LL BE
DEPENDS ON YOU
841
00:59:33,319 --> 00:59:36,698
KEEPING A PROMISE IS RARE LIKE A STAR
IN DARKNESS THAT IS MEANT TO SHINE
842
00:59:36,781 --> 00:59:38,449
SHE CRIED FOR ME
AND I WIPED AWAY HER TEARS
843
00:59:38,533 --> 00:59:39,867
THAT WAS ENOUGH TO COMFORT ME
844
00:59:40,034 --> 00:59:42,996
I THOUGHT HAPPY ENDINGS WERE LAME,
BUT I KNOW WE MUST TRY HARD TO GET IT
845
00:59:43,079 --> 00:59:46,207
WE'RE SMALL, BUT WE CAN GO ANYWHERE
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IF YOU WANT IT ENOUGH
846
00:59:46,291 --> 00:59:48,167
PASSION SPREADS
LIKE THE WARMTH OF A FIRE SPREADS
847
00:59:48,251 --> 00:59:49,752
IT BECOMES COMFORT, HOPE, AND HAPPINESS
848
00:59:49,836 --> 00:59:53,172
I DECIDED NOT TO REGRET LEAVING HIM ALONE
INSTEAD, I DECIDED TO LOVE HIM MORE DEEPLY
849
00:59:57,427 --> 00:59:59,804

01:00:02,307 --> 01:00:04,392
<i>I'm right here, Seo-jun.</i>

01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,978
<i>I want to be here for you.</i>
853
01:00:08,021 --> 01:00:10,106
What? I came
because I was worried about him.
854
01:00:10,940 --> 01:00:12,400
Congratulations!

01:00:14,110 --> 01:00:16,779
