TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
PRODUCTION SPONSORS: MINISTRY OF CULTURE, SPORTS AND TOURISM AND KOCCA
CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
ARE YOU NOT GOING TO TELL ME WHY YOU FOUGHT?
NO
WHY NOT?
I just don't want to.
Jinwoo.
Don't hang out with Dongkyu from now on.
Just don't hang out with him!
Why?
I'm telling the truth.
I was just playing with Jinwoo,
and Kihyun kept picking a fight with me.
Just ask Jinwoo.
Kihyun, is Dongkyu telling the truth?
Did you feel sad and upset
because your best friend Jinwoo
and Dongkyu have been hanging out these days?
Yesterday after school, Dongkyu's mom saw Jinwoo
and told Dongkyu not to hang out with him!
Dongkyu's mom did?
That's true, but...
I know it's because Jinwoo can't hear.
That's so unfair!
So we're going to stop hanging out with Dongkyu.
It was my mom who said it! Why take it out on me?
Dongkyu, you shouldn't hit your friend.
Kihyun only told me what happened that day many years later,
after we became adults.
Dongkyu, stop being mad.
I didn't know back then
that it was those around me that got stabbed and hurt
by the sharp words thrown at me,
because I couldn't hear.
WHAT DID THE TEACHER SAY?
She said prejudice is bad.
I heard it too,
but what does it mean?
Isn't it obvious?
It means that friends shouldn't take sides.
Then are we all going to hang out together?
Well...
No.
You're dead meat if I catch you.
When I faced prejudice for the first time in my life,
I wasn't very afraid because I was with my friends.
The sound of the world
that was told to me through Kihyun's heart
was always about a degree warmer.
DEEP
I think I should go check on Kihyun.
Why did you come?
How's Sohee?
She cried a little earlier during the day, but that was all.
She's her usual self now.
She played with Sol
and fell asleep just now.
What about you?
Are you okay?
Hey, you know how it is.
Just because you can hear
doesn't mean only good things happen to you.
And just because you can't,
doesn't mean only bad things happen to you.
For now, I'll take Sol
to the hospital
and have her take all the necessary tests.
If you need my help,
let me know anytime.
I feel so
reassured.
So I hated having
feelings for someone.
I hated asking them to get through
all the difficulties
that could be faced because I'm unable to hear.
And I was afraid I might
not be able to protect you when you are in danger.
So for a while, I wanted to pretend
not to notice all your efforts.
I wanted to tell you this
because you might think
that I'm not opening up to you because we speak different languages.
You don't have to worry about that.
You don't have to protect me.
I just...
want to be with you
because I love you.
EPISODE 10 COURAGE
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
SOLVE THE EVICTED PROBLEMS
GUARANTEE OUR RIGHT TO LIFE
It'd be nice if many people could see them.
You mean my paintings?
You don't have to do
something big for someone you love.
You just need to do what you can do.
That's all.
I gave him the passcode.
Why does he always ring the bell?
You could've just called me.
So what is it?
You know Jung Woosik, right?
Of course. He's a famous director.
Apparently, he knows you too.
- He likes your songs. - Really?
He's directing this new drama show,
and he wants to work with you.
He listened to Three Breakups
and thought it would be perfect for the upcoming show.
What...
So the music director job?
Yes.
I mean, it's a great opportunity.
You should do it.
No. No way.
They always demand so much when I saw what they were like to you.
No, I'd hate it. I can't do it.
It all depends on the director, you know?
It could be challenging,
- but it has many good sides. - Mm-mm.
- Whatever. - Forget it. I won't do it.
Come on. They gave me the scripts,
so give them a read before you decide. All right?
- Read them all, okay? - I won't.
- Wait. - What?
Nothing.
THIRTY AND THREE
ARE YOU DOING WELL, MOEUN? SHARE IT WITH MODAM
MOM
Hey, Mom.
I just got the food.
Wow, that was fast. All right, put it in the fridge.
I will. Thank you for the food.
And I have good news.
Good news? I already feel so happy.
What is it?
I...
got cast in a 12-episode TV show.
I don't have that many scenes,
but I'm a recurring character.
Oh! Oh, my. I'm so happy for you.
Good job.
Then you'll appear 12 times, right?
Well, I'm not in all of the episodes.
I'll visit you soon.
I'll tell you in detail then.
Okay, sure. You must be busy. Let's hang up.
Oh, right. Wait, Moeun.
You know...
Well...
Why can't I stop thinking about how he's never seen his mom?
Next time I send you kimchi,
should I pack some for your boyfriend too?
Come on, Mom.
Stop worrying about kimchi for everyone.
You're right.
- Bye, then. - Bye.
Stop blowing in my ear and go sit over there.
What are you so curious about?
What do you mean, I'm curious? It's just that the table is small.
I see.
So you're not curious.
By the way, you said something about good news.
What is it?
Moeun got cast in a 12-episode drama show.
That's good.
That's all?
Then what? Should I stand up and dance?
Yes.
That'd be a better reaction than this.
What's with you?
And what else? What else did she say?
Is she happy with her boyfriend?
My goodness. You really make me not want to tell you.
If you're that curious, call and ask her yourself.
Come on, she must be busy. I shouldn't bother her again.
You heard, so you can just tell me.
- Come on. - I can't hear you.
My goodness.

EPISODE 4
DIRECTOR SONG SEOKYUNG
Ma'am, I have something to show you.
There's a photo online of a man presumed to be Dino.
A man was doing something in front of a wall late at night,
and someone took a photo of him.
Then they found that mural there the next morning.
When was it uploaded?
Yesterday.
HANBI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
It would've been nice
if I'd been your friend since elementary school, right?
Then I would've taught everyone bothering you a lesson!
How would you have done it?
Let's visit the orphanage you grew up at. It's close.
But the director will tease me, saying I brought my girlfriend.
But I want to go there. I'm so curious
about how you lived before you met me.
CHA JINWOO: CAN WE MEET UP IF YOU HAVE TIME?
SONG SEOKYUNG: I'M IN MY OFFICE. COME ON UP.
I read it.
And I signed it. What do I have to do next?
Thank you.
I'll do my best to make sure you won't regret it.
You just focus on working on your works for the exhibition.
I'll take care of the rest.
I'm not saying I'll do it as I like, so don't worry.
I'll let you know once I've drawn up the schedule.
I wanted to play more at the playground.
You've already run a lot. Don't your legs hurt?
Hello.
Do you want some ice cream?
Pardon?
Do you want some ice cream?
Oh, you mean ice cream?
Yes!
Jun, you shouldn't do that.
But I want to have ice cream.
Come on.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, no. You should have it. Goodness.
Thank you.
You go home first, Grandma. I'll go see his cat.
What?
But you should ask for his permission first.
- Yay! - All right. Thank you.
Now, you can go.
- But... - This too.
Don't stay there for too long, okay?
Okay!
Good boy. Bye, then.
- Bye, Grandma. - Bye.
By the way, is the cat your only family?
Cat...
IS THE CAT YOUR ONLY FAMILY?
WHAT ABOUT YOUR MOM AND DAD?
"What about your mom and dad?"
Divorced.
DIVORCED
WHERE IS YOUR MOM?
IN BUSAN
AND YOUR DAD?
I DON'T KNOW
HE COMES HOME SOMETIMES
DON'T YOU MISS HIM OFTEN?
"Don't you miss him often?"
IT'S OKAY
GRANDMA IS TAKING GOOD CARE OF ME
I'LL GROW UP QUICKLY
AND SEE MOM AND DAD OFTEN
How do you say "dad" with your hands?
"Dad."
Then what about "mom"?
"Mom."
So the thumb for "dad" and the pinkie for "mom"?
Goodbye.
Hey. Hello.
Hi, Jun.
You came to see the cat? Why leave so soon?
My grandma's waiting for me. I have to go have dinner.
I see. See you next time, then.
Sure. Goodbye.
Oh...
Can you hear it?
Is it for me?
Thank you.
By any chance,
is it a special day today?
Ah... What is it? Maybe I forgot.
I've decided to hold the exhibition.
Congratulations.
I can't wait.
I could find the courage to do it, thanks to you.
Thank you.
Is there any painting you drew
before 2013?
No, there isn't.
Then did you do something else?
A long time ago, I lived alone
in the mountains for seven years.
Alone for seven years?
I LIVED IN AN ABANDONED CONTAINER AND DREW ALL DAY
I DREW AND DREW AND FELL ASLEEP WHEN EXHAUSTED, AND THEN DREW AGAIN
WHEN I WOKE UP,
I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHETHER I COLLAPSED OR FELL ASLEEP
I JUST KEPT DRAWING
THEN ONE DAY, IT RAINED SO MUCH
THAT MY CONTAINER GOT FLOODED
It must've been so hard for you.
And devastating.
Thinking that I lost everything I had
actually made me feel at ease.
It made you feel at ease?
I realized that even the paintings I'd drawn weren't mine,
and that there was nothing I could keep forever.
And it was rather consoling.
My family, hearing, and people I loved...
I'd been feeling like everything had been taken from me.
So I was having a hard time and feeling sad
for a long time.
After accepting that they were not mine in the first place,
I could get back up.
Excuse me.
Yes?
One more soju, please.
Okay.
Oh, right.
I should share what I'm eating
with my trainer.
Because I'm a good trainee.
MY DINNER TODAY
JIYU
Listen. Something urgent came up, so I have to go.
Could you cancel all my sessions for today?
Okay. I'll call and let them know.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- Bye. - Bye.
Hey.
Who said you could sit?
What are you doing?
- What? - Did I do something wrong?
No.
You didn't.
One of the staff told me
that you seemed to be getting me wrong.
One of the staff?
Who?
Oh, the one you confessed your feelings for?
What...
Confessed my feelings... What are you talking about?
What am I talking about?
I'm talking about what you did, you womanizing jerk.
You know what you do.
"If you don't want to be my friend, how about my girlfriend?"
I was so excited by what you say to every girl
that I couldn't sleep for days.
- I feel so stupid. - Hey.
I didn't confess my feelings for her. I just gave her some advice.
Jiyu.
I only said that to you.
If you want me to,
I can say it to you again now.
What?
Should I say it again?
No, don't do it.
I can't date you.
I'm not crazy enough to go out with you.
So you don't like me?
Look.
Do you know how long my longest relationship was?
It lasted less that a year.
Why don't my relationships last long?
Maybe I'm boring.
Well, how would I know?
I've never dated you.
A year at the longest.
Even if I go out with you, it'll end in less than a year.
So how can I go out with you?
Besides, you're Moeun's little brother.
You're Moeun's little brother...
Don't be nice to other girls.
Jiyu.
You must think your relationships were always too short.
But to me, who was watching someone I liked dating someone else,
it felt so long.
You know that?
Oh, no!
Contact all the transport companies, check the schedule with them,
sort out the ones with good prices and services, and let me know.
Yes, ma'am.
And I will check the progress and quality of Mr. Cha's preparations myself,
- so don't worry about it. - Yes, ma'am.
Now...
Hello.
Oh, look at the time.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kwon.
Please, sit here.
The meeting room was empty,
and I thought I should meet the director in person.
You must be busy.
Yes. The schedule for Mr. Cha Jinwoo's solo exhibition is quite tight,
so it's hectic.
Cha Jinwoo?
Oh, right. You two went to college together, right?
Mr. Kwon.
How's your work going lately?
There's no clear schedule for my exhibitions abroad,
so it's not going well even if I hold my brush.
Since you were visiting us here, we were going to tell you in person.
Was it the director's idea?
Pardon?
Oh, you mean Mr. Cha's exhibition?
Yes.
She says his works are amazing.
Are you sure it's his works?
What's amazing is something else.
Sorry?
If you use the touching story of his first love,
you don't have to worry about promotion.
What do you think, Ms. Song?
If you're all done, you may go.
And I'll tell you about the schedule for your exhibitions abroad.
After Jinwoo broke up with his first love, for about seven years,
he was nowhere to be seen.
"He went missing." "He's dead."
There were a lot of rumors.
Oh, my. I'm so curious
about the story.
Is she also in the art industry?
We have a lot to do, so we'll go now.
No wonder. When I looked Mr. Cha in the eye,
he seemed like a man with sad stories.
Come to think of it, I think I felt it too.
- Hello. - Hello.
Are the preparations for Mr. Cha's exhibition going well?
I think it'll be a success.
His story for the promotion is perfect.
Apparently,
Mr. Cha's first love hurt him really badly.
And I heard he disappeared for seven years after the breakup.
You see, the stories behind the artworks are as important.
We should work harder on it.
Well, then.
Apparently, Mr. Cha's first love hurt him really badly.
And I heard he disappeared for seven years after the breakup.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
I want to talk to the director of this place.
If you could tell me the reason--
I'll tell the director myself,
so just bring them.
Now.
How can I help you?
My wife's birthday is soon.
So I asked her what she wanted for a present,
and she said she wanted a painting.
So what are you looking for?
She says she wants a painting
for our house that would make her feel relaxed.
But thinking of paying millions of won to buy one of these lame things,
I don't feel so comfortable.
Sir, could you tell me what exactly you want?
I mean, how expensive could paint be?
You see, I buy things that I can't eat or use, only for one reason.
For investment.
So I'm asking you
if these paintings are worth investing my money in.
Investing is good,
but wouldn't it be better to choose a painting that'll make the receiver happy
to make the present more meaningful?
Come on.
You're not getting what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is,
recommend me something that both my wife and I will be satisfied with.
I'm well versed with buildings and land, but not with paintings.
And you're the head of this art center,
so you must know your stuff.
So just recommend me
something that will be worth money later,
if not now.
You're disturbing others. Please keep it down a little.
What... You can't tell your customer what to do.
Forget it. I'm a busy man.
So just go bring some paintings you recommend now.
Sir.
There's no special way to appreciate paintings.
It's not wrong or shameful not to know about art.
However,
even if it's for investment purpose,
I think you should be respectful of artists and their works.
Please visit again when you can do that.
Then I'll kindly guide you around and explain.
But not today. I'm sorry.
Bring the car around now!
CHA JINWOO SOLO EXHIBITION
Wait.
"Cha Jinwoo"?
Hey.
Do you know about this Cha Jinwoo?
Painter Cha Jinwoo?
Can I ask why--
No, never mind.
Yes, Director.
Well, I think I can get there by six if I leave now.
Okay.
I'M HUNGRY
Hello.
Right. Same class.
Yes.
Listen.
- DO THEY KNOW EACH OTHER? - I DON'T KNOW.
Thank you for that day.
THANK YOU
"THANK YOU"?
Oh, guys. I've got to run now.
- BYE. - BYE.
- See you next time. - See you.
- DO YOU KNOW HER? - HOW?
Uh...
I didn't give you the script yet,
but there's a scene in Episode 8 where you sing and play guitar.
So, can you play guitar?
No, not at all.
Well, you can start learning.
The ADs will let you know where to take lessons. Don't worry.
Okay.
I have a friend who's good at playing the guitar.
Can I just learn from him?
If that's what you want, sure.
Okay.
Come in.
- Hello. Come on in. - Hello.
Oh, this is our music director.
And this is the new actress we cast...
Hold on.
Now that I've decided to join, I'll tell you.
Actress Jung Moeun and I are friends.
We've been close since childhood.
And she probably didn't know I was doing this show until now.
So the friend who's good at guitar that you just mentioned is...
That's probably me.
This is great!
Ms. Actress, you can use this one.
I'll tune it later so you can take it home and try your hands on it.
But I don't know how to play it at all.
When are we starting?
Well...
We still have a month left, but it'd be better to get a head start.
Just try plucking the strings and familiarize yourself.
All right.
If the two spent a lot of time together,
they must share a lot of memories, right?
He didn't have any language barrier with her unlike me.
They were always together in college,
so they must've talked about a lot of things.
They must know a lot about each other
and feel comfortable around each other, right?
What?
Someone you spent a lot of time
and share a lot of memories with.
As if all the time together in school wasn't enough,
you even talked with them over the phone, sometimes all night.
Someone you know so well and feel comfortable with, who's that?
- You? - That's right.
But I'm not the one you have feelings for
and have a relationship with now.
So what's there to worry about?
But we're friends.
Yes.
So I'm sure they're just friends now.
Though they used to love each other.
But
is it possible to go from lovers to friends?
What do you think?
Well...
To be honest, I'd feel uncomfortable.
Right.
To hope to go back to how things were
as if nothing happened,
you'd be asking too much.
Right, I'd be asking too much.
It'll be all right.
I only realized this recently.
What's in the past has no power.
You really think so?
This is the list of Mr. Cha's works.
And I also sent the original file to your email.
The first one
was in 2013. Is this right?
Yes, it is.
I also thought the list might be missing some works,
so I texted him to check,
and he confirmed that there was nothing before 2013.
Oh, is that so?
Hold on.
What?
I just remembered
what Mr. Kwon said the other day.
That Mr. Cha had a really hard time after he broke up with his first love.
Right.
Apparently, he lost his way for seven years.
Maybe that's why there's nothing before 2013.
Right.
Hey.
DEEP
Ta-da.
You've been cast in a show with as many as 12 episodes.
And you're playing this amazing role. To celebrate it...
Who's paying for dinner today?
It's me.
It's all my treat.
You know, last time,
I couldn't stay to celebrate it with you.
So I pestered Jinwoo to bring you here again.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- Thanks for the food. - Enjoy.
Mm! Mm.
Moeun, the dried radish leaves and chicken are really good.
What do you think?
It's pleasantly spicy. It's good.
It's delicious.
Moeun, you should eat a lot.
To pull off all the shooting,
you should eat a lot and be strong.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Did it go well at the hospital?
Of course, it went well.
Starting this week,
she started wearing hearing aids and began language rehab therapy.
I was worried, but you look okay.
So I feel relieved.
You know,
Sol takes after me,
so she's docile as a lamb.
Sol is amazing,
but Sohee's just so...
I'm really impressed with her.
I get why they say mothers are strong.
I agree.
You two
lean on
and support each other.
It's so great to see that.
My goodness.
Hearing you say it directly to me like this
makes me feel so embarrassed.
But I feel so happy to hear it too.
Mm!
Just a second.
Hey, Songi.
Now?
I see.
It's okay.
Yes, I'll be right there.
Okay.
I have to go to the café right now.
My colleague asked me to work the last shift instead of her.
I need to look around the exhibition hall,
so let's go together.
Now? At this hour?
Let's go home together when you're done.
Okay.
See you when I'm done.
- Songi. - Oh, Moeun.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right.
I owe you one. Thank you.
SONG SEOKYUNG
I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. CAN I GO TO YOUR STUDIO?
DIRECTOR SONG SEOKYUNG
CHA JINWOO
I'M NOT HOME, AND IT'S LATE, SO LET'S TALK LATER
I didn't know you were here.
You said you had something to tell me. What is it?
No.
It's nothing.
Shall we go?
I know it's too late,
but I wanted to tell you this.
I'm sorry I left you like that, leaving you all alone.
Maybe I want to...
say this...
to the Jinwoo I knew from back then
who might not exist anymore.
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
Why are you doing this?
Are you still not over Jinwoo?
We are already
being comforted by each other.
Unless you learn to be satisfied, you'll never be happy.
You don't know.
You haven't secretly admired someone.
Can I ask you
what's going on?
