TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
Thanks to you,
I think I'm going
to be fine for the rest of my life.
I didn't understand what you said.
I didn't get
what you said.
Thank you...
for trying so hard for me.
Let's break up.
Breaking up means
we've loved each other until recently.
Leaving means
someone has been by my side until just now.
And that's enough for me.
Because it's much warmer
than the times when nothing was happening,
and no one was by my side.
Maybe I already knew.
Watching me say "I'm okay"
without a smile on my face...
It must've been hard for him.
Even though he thanked me
for the efforts I made for him,
I have been a coward.
EP 16 SYMPATHY
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
Moeun.
Does our house stink?
Or is there some kind of epidemic going on?
What?
Why do you wipe and sweep the same place over and over again?
Well, it's just... It gets dusty so fast, you know?
Maybe it's because you look down at the floor all day, isn't it?
Maybe.
Well, I'm done.
Jiyu, do you want to watch a movie and drink some beer?
I even got some popcorn.
Sorry.
I have plans with Modam.
Oh, you have a date.
- All right. - I wish you'd told me sooner.
It's okay. You should get ready.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes.
Ah...
Your sister's driving me crazy these days.
Why? What's the matter?
Is she hysterical?
No, she's too nice to me.
I should do something.
Let's have a drink with Moeun and Johan today.
Should we? Then I'll call and ask Johan.
- Okay. And I'll call Moeun. - Okay.
Moeun asked one of our curators about your painting.
Saying there was someone who wished to buy your painting at all cost.
I hear they're someone really special to you.
But I heard there was no painting left to sell.
I hear they can't wait until your next exhibition. Is that true?
She's a bit ill.
Have a seat.
I bought this to keep for myself.
As a friend and a good partner,
it's my gift.
Maybe
what I missed was not you
but the old me.
The me without any scars.
The me who could smile so innocently.
The me who could love you
for who you were, without wanting anything.
As I realized how much I had changed,
I must've missed the old me.
I must've thought
I might be able to go back to who I was back then
if I met you again.
I think I was
the prettiest when I was with you.
You were cool back then, and you're still as cool now.
Some days, I think I should forget you,
but since you have such a big presence in my life,
I decide to remember you.
Also, I think I couldn't
completely let go of you
or hold on to you for a long time.
It suddenly occurred to me
that our time away from each other
was like a diary to catch up on.
Even if we try to write something for the missed days,
we're not the old us anymore.
It would be meaningless to write something
for the past now.
Our time has...
passed.
It's late, we should let them go.
The us from back then.
Do you want another glass?
I'd love that.
All right.
Moeun, why don't you eat something, too?
I'd love that.
What?
Why do you keep saying "I'd love that"?
Because I love the beer, the food,
the feeling,
and the atmosphere.
Hey, drink slowly.
Moeun, I'm not telling you to stop drinking.
The more slowly you drink, the more you can drink.
No, just drink. She should drink herself to death.
- Hey. - All right, cheers, everyone.
- Cheers. - She's a lightweight.
Just let her. Cheers!
- Cheers. - Whatever.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I'm okay. - Be careful.
- I'm okay. - All right.
Let's go, Johan. Moeun, let's go.
You and Jiyu go first. We'll go soon.
No. Moeun should come with me.
All right, Johan. You take her home, okay?
- Moeun should come with me. - No, it's all right.
- I should be by her side today. - I'm sorry. She's drunk.
- She must be so upset. - I'm more upset.
- I'm more upset.
Look at you.
Who drinks that fast?
I don't know since when,
but I think I started to hope for things he couldn't do for me.
Asking me if I'm hungry when my stomach growls,
worrying and asking if something's wrong when I sigh,
and sensing how I feel
just by my voice over the phone.
While I wanted things from him
that were impossible for him to do for me,
I whined
about how lonely I felt.
There must've been a reason you felt lonely.
Well,
I don't know everything that happened between you two, but...
I've been there.
She was just there the same way I first met her,
but one day, I started to feel upset with her,
feel distant from her,
and feel lonely.
What was the reason?
Well...
I liked her a lot.
Secretly.
I think I didn't know how to do it.
And you, too.
It was your first time to love him.
So,
even though your love didn't work out
and you broke up in the end,
don't blame yourself too much.
Thank you.
But Johan,
I always feel grateful to you,
but I'm not someone like that to you.
So I often feel bad.
I really hope you'll be happy.
Don't meet someone
who makes you feel upset,
distant, or lonely.
I hope you meet someone
who sees you,
understands you, and loves you,
and I hope you'll be happy.
So...
don't try too hard or suffer.
And as you said, don't blame yourself too much.
And...
stop worrying about me, too.
Let's let our present moment go.
How can I help you?
Are you...
I'M CHA JINWOO. I'M HERE FOR MS. GO WOOHEE.
Oh, you're Mr. Cha Jinwoo.
Thank you for coming.
All right. Let's go inside, hmm?
This is Mr. Cha Jinwoo.
Chaewon, come here.
Mom, we'll go outside for a bit.
It's okay. We'll be back soon.
- Why don't we go, too? - Okay.
Welcome. It's nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming.
We'll be outside.
Have a nice time with her.
This is painter Cha Jinwoo.
You cried while looking at his painting at the exhibition.
Don't you remember?
Have a seat. Hmm?
Please.
I'll be outside.
I'll leave you two to talk.
All right.
Goodness. After she wanted to see him so badly...
HELLO, I'M CHA JINWOO.
THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY PAINTINGS SO MUCH.
Mr. Cha.
I know it's rude to ask this,
but can I
touch your face?
You look so much like him.
Don't cry.
Stop crying.
Mr. Cha.
Stop crying.
Hello, sir.
He came by just now.
Cha Jinwoo.
Thank you.
And please make sure
to thank him for me when you see him next time.
Okay.
If I see him again,
I'll make sure to tell him.
Mom, Dad, I'm home!
- Moeun's here. - What? It's Moeun.
- Oh, my, welcome home! - Welcome.
Give me the bag.
What were you doing?
We were playing Five in a Row.
- Come on in. - Let's go.
I was wondering if you were asleep.
What are you thinking about?
Mom.
There's good news.
What is it?
He...
met his birth mother today.
Oh, my.
Oh, my, that's great.
How did he meet her?
She came to the exhibition
after she saw his name.
My goodness, that's incredible.
Make sure to tell him that I'm so happy that I almost cried.
Okay?
I want to congratulate him, too.
But I can't.
I...
broke up with him.
You...
You did?
It's not like this is my first breakup, but...
Mom.
Why is it so painful?
Of course, it's painful.
Relationships rarely go your way.
Some people break up so fast although they love each other.
Some people live together forever,
bickering for the rest of their lives, though they're sick of each other.
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong.
It's beyond your control anyway.
But you made a choice.
You could've just decided to be a stranger.
I'm sure it wasn't easy.
But you gladly became my mom.
You...
What are you talking about?
I was going to keep pretending not to know about it...
but then I wouldn't be able to say thank you.
No.
What?
It wasn't me.
It was you that accepted me.
The first day we met,
you were a baby who'd just started to toddle.
You came to me and said,
"Mom."
That's what you called me.
I was chosen by you
as your mom.
So...
I'm the one who should thank you.
Are you done drinking?
Are you going home?
Thanks for pretending not to notice.
Hey, Cha Jinwoo.
Let's have a drink.
Come on.
No, have a drink with me.
Maybe next time.
Mr. Kwon, he says next time.
No, right now.
I won't keep you for long.
I know you hate me so much,
but I hate you so much too, so we're even.
I really want to have a drink with you today.
I mean it.
Are you okay?
You see, I'm so childish.
I'm immature.
I always make mistakes,
cause trouble for others,
and embarrass myself.
Then I feel bad.
That's who I am.
So you...
Is that why you didn't even want to deal with me?
Is that why you used
your inability to hear as an excuse to ignore me?
While you were being all holier-than-thou...
I'm sure you weren't even curious about what my life was like.
I...
hated you.
Mr. Kwon, I'll tell Jinwoo what you said tomorrow.
So...
"I'm sorry."
"It must've been so hard for you, too."
"But back then, I couldn't think about you."
"I know it's too late,"
"but I'm sorry."
You jerk.
What do I say to that?
You're the one saying sorry,
but you're making me feel ashamed.
Moeun...
1 YEAR LATER
DAREUM ARTS CENTER
I met the YBS reporter and cleaned up your mess.
Do you know how hard it was?
Why did you bother?
You should've let them learn their lesson.
I went through a lot to stop your image from being ruined.
You should be thanking me, but what?
You...
You really have a knack for being criticized after doing good.
What's the point of donating a great piece to a charity auction?
Articles about you are all about your fistfight and drunken rampage!
They're all out of context. It's the journalists' fault.
Painter Kim Daeyeong has always been notorious. Hmm?
He works college students to the bone without even paying for their meals.
He threatens to ruin their career in the field if they complain.
He even harasses them, sexually!
- He's evil! - Yes, he is!
Yes, I know. You're right. I know that.
But why did you
have to say such swear words in front of all the journalists?
What's the point of cussing them out if I don't say swear words?
Kwon Dohun!
I'm not deaf, so don't yell at me, Song Seokyung!
How dare you yell at me? You couldn't even talk to me back in college.
I'm not that Dohun anymore!
- You... - Don't raise your hand.
Keep it down.
SPACE I LOVED JUNG MOEUN X MOON EDEN
You might wonder who this Jung Moeun is.
It's you.
Goodness.
You used to be just a substitute not long ago.
How does it feel to play it again as a heroine?
I'm honored.
Back then, I was naive and reckless.
But now, I'm so worried, I can't sleep.
The more you know, the harder it gets.
It applies to everything.
Anyway, I'm so proud of you.
You don't put on airs even though you're the heroine.
I hear you're still the first one to come to practice and do chores.
Come on, Mr. Kim.
You should say such a thing when others are also around.
You have changed indeed.
- Sorry? - You're a snake now.
You're sly as a snake.
Good luck with the final rehearsal, Ms. Snake.
Come on!
- Don't come near. - Let's go in together.
We'll begin the rehearsal.
- Okay. - Okay.
Ms. Oh.
What?
- The practice's over? - Yes.
I guess you had a lot of customers.
Jeez, I was so busy.
You know you look so happy when you say you're busy.
Of course.
I'm the owner of this place.
Do you draw from time to time?
Yes.
Ah... But it's been so long since I did it, it's not easy.
What matters is that you started.
Right?
It's not easy, but I feel so happy doing what I love again.
You talked me into it, so it's all thanks to you.
But I still feel a bit worried.
- You need to clean this up? - Yes.
- You'll help? - Yes.
The smell of the paint.
I'm kind of used to it.
Someday,
somewhere, when I'm alone and smell paint,
I'll remember this moment.
This moment. The two of us.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
All right.
Ta-da!
It's a lot.
Honey, you said
you craved something spicy the other day.
Right? Hold on.
With this ripened kimchi... Yes.
Put it like this.
Now, try the kimchi and rice together.
It's supposed to be better that way.
How is it?
It's nice and spicy.
It's good, right? Eat up now.
You eat, too.
Honey, your belly is so heavy now,
so don't do anything.
Do nothing.
I'll do everything for you.
You pestered me to have a second child so much,
so you must help me a lot.
No, it's not helping you.
It's just my job as a dad.
It saddens me,
but there's nothing I can do instead of you.
Just give birth to a healthy baby.
After that, just trust me, okay?
Don't worry about anything.
I'm proud of you, my baby.
Gosh, that again.
Stop it. Okay, I'll cry like a baby.
Eat up.
Let's eat.
God, you scared me!
How are you here now?
You really surprised me.
Hey, you said you'd come back about a month later.
Something came up, so I came back earlier.
Goodness.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
You know me. I'm a man!
You look so good.
Thank you.
You came right on time. Let's eat together.
Right. Let's eat together.
Sounds good.
I've missed eating with you guys.
Have a seat now. Let's eat.
This is great.
God, you really surprised me.
You see, this is nice and spicy,
so it'll hit you now that you're back in Korea now.
Gosh.
You didn't go home after the mixing yesterday?
- No. - Why not?
- Because it was going well. - Oh, you wrote a song?
What is it? Is it good?
Listen to it later if you're curious.
Did you borrow a lot of money without me knowing?
Or were you in a relationship without me knowing?
Do you know what you look like right now?
You look like you just broke up.
If you think about it, our job is such a good job.
If I date someone, that's good for me.
If I can't, I'm heartbroken, and it helps me write good songs.
So it's good either way.
See? Something happened, right?
- The song must be good. - Hey, Modam.
I have to come home? Why? Did something happen?
- What is it? - The food's getting cold.
Hey, what's all this?
Did you prepare this to wish me good luck with the performance? You didn't have to.
What's going on?
It's our 400th day today.
Right.
We had dinner together last month to celebrate your first anniversary.
Guys, thanks for coming.
Thank you so much.
Give me your hand.
What? Oh, my God!
- I think I'm going to cry. - Come on, give me your hand.
- Put in on mine. - Okay.
Oh, my.
This is my first time wearing a matching ring!
Make my face look small.
LET'S GO SAY HI TO MR. CHA.
NO, IT'LL BEGIN SOON.
IT'S OKAY, LET'S GO.
Are you all ready?
Who's the lecturer today again?
Please focus.
I give you Mr. Cha Jinwoo.
Applaud!
SEOUL INTERNATIONAL ART AWARD WINNER
YOU'RE SO HANDSOME!
"Hello."
"Many people asked what made me start to paint."
WHY ARE THEY SO LATE?
THEY SHOULD BE HERE BY NOW
HOW COULD THEY MAKE MR. CHA WAIT?
Hi!
ALL RIGHT. NOTHING'S GOING ON BETWEEN YOU TWO.
YOU JUST RAN INTO EACH OTHER IN FRONT OF HERE, RIGHT?
YES.
WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THAT?
BECAUSE MR. CHA ISN'T USED TO IT.
All right. I didn't see anything.
Right. Sir.
Would you like beer or wine?
Do you guys want to drink with me?
Sir, we're adults.
YES, WE'RE COLLEGE STUDENTS!
WE CAN HOLD OUR LIQUOR.
DON'T WORRY, AND DRINK WITH US.
Excuse me.
What's this?
IT'S A TICKET FOR A PLAY.
WE SAW IT A WHILE AGO
AND IT'S GOOD.
THEY EVEN PROVIDE SIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATION.
SPACE I LOVED
YOU MUST SEE IT. PROMISE.
TO MR. CHA WHO CAME BACK!
CHEERS!

JUNG MOEUN X MOON EDEN
JUNG MOEUN
Hello.
The tickets I asked earlier, please give me two under Jung Moeun.
Thank you.
Moeun, the director's asking for you.
They want to check some movement.
Oh, I see.
Let's go.
- About the last movement... - Yes.
Five minutes to go!
TO MS. ACTRESS
Can the fact that we're so different
be the reason?
I mean, no two people in the world are completely the same.
If a person with one arm falls in love
with another person with one arm, would it be okay?
People say they will soon start to hate
and resent each other.
But I'm not so sure.
Fine.
Let's say it's true.
ACTRESS
Then wouldn't it be okay to stay together
until they start to hate each other?
Wouldn't it be okay to give it your all
until you start to hate everything?
Even if your love is
not the same in shape and size...
Even if
it may be not fair...
Wouldn't it be okay
for us to love until then?
You were great!
Moeun, your last scene was so moving!
- Thank you. - Great job.
Hey, you have to join us at the barbecue!
Coming through. I'm sorry.
Hello.
My name is Cha Jinwoo.
It's nice...
to see you again.
I love you, Moeun.
