Jae-hoon. Park Jae-hoon!
Hey, come on. Please open the door.
I know you're in there.
I'm not leaving till you come out, okay?
Park Jae-hoon!
What do you want?
-Let's talk. -Talk here.
How long are you going to stay like this?
Don't you think about Hyeon-so and your mom?
You came to nag me?
Go away, Yeo-reum.
Hey, just hold on. Okay.
-You should move in to the unit above me. -What?
It's recently vacated so they're looking for someone.
It faces south so it gets lots of sun. You can have the rooftop for yourself.
And it was recently repaired too.
400 million won for a deposit. Monthly rent is 500 thousand won.
The owner may reduce the rent if you ask nicely.
Why would I move there?
I heard you quit the hospital.
There's no reason for you to live here.
Just move into my neighborhood.
Dae-sik and Hye-jin are also nearby.
Just come out of this dark room.
Step out, enjoy the sun and breathe some fresh air.
Please live like a normal person.
It's hard to find a place like this.
The owner said she'll lease it for 225 million won.
So hurry and bring a stamp.
HURRY
We can rest a bit in the front yard.
No. Hurry up!
Why?
-Oh my, it's heavy. -Yeo-reum picked a good day to move.
Amazing weather today.
It's sunny!
Jae-hoon!
Park Jae-hoon!
Here. It's good for constipation. Make sure you eat it.
Park Jae-hoon!
Hey, Jae-hoon!
Try it. Hurry. Try it.
-Clean it. -Yours is worse.
Is this a house or a cave?
A human must photosynthesize.
Take a seat.
I mixed some rice Mom sent me.
Come on. Open up.
Open your mouth.
How is it? Good?
Yes?
Ep.5 The Man that Extends an Arm When You are Down
WEDDING INVITATION KIM IN-WOO AND GU YEO-REUM
Look at the bride and the groom. They look so good together.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
Sir!
Congratulations!
We'll see you later!
Hello. Thank you for coming.
Producer Gu Yeo-reum! Congratulations on your wedding!
-You're so pretty today. -Yes, you look like a goddess.
Best wishes!
One more time, please.
Stop it.
He's at it again.
Are we done?
Our high school group prepared this.
-Don't worry about it. -Go and spend it.
Spend it well.
Thank you!
You're so pretty!
We gotta go.
-Thank you, Dae-sik! -Let's go!
-See you later. -You're so pretty!
-Hello, Producer Gu! -You're here!
Producer Gu!
Producer Gu, for your wedding video, I'll make you look prettier than ever.
Just strike a pose.
Producer Gu, I asked the lighting team and borrowed a reflector plate.
They only use it for actresses.
I'll be holding it even next to the Virgin Road.
Stop it.
You didn't have do all of this.
-Pose. Pose! -I'm not really good with poses.
Here's my heart.
Producer Gu, we're off to interview the guests.
-Congratulations on your wedding. -Thank you!
-Congrats, congrats! -Congratulations!
-See you later! -See you soon.
May I ask who you are?
I don't think we've met you.
Please excuse us.
Hello, my name is Cho Rion.
I'm here because I have to tell you something.
I'm pregnant with In-woo's baby.
What... do you--
I wasn't in a relationship with In-woo.
Nor am I trying to hold you back using the baby as an excuse.
It's just that...
I'm going to keep the baby.
I felt like I needed to tell you this before the wedding.
It's up to you to decide whether marrying a man with a kid is okay.
-Please explain. -Yeo-reum...
That's...
-When did you find out? -A few days ago.
How long were you going to hide it from me?
I was going to tell you.
I was shocked and couldn't believe it.
I didn't know how to tell you...
So I just didn't.
Do you call that an excuse?
Were you going to marry me hiding something important like this?
She suddenly showed up to my workplace and we didn't even date.
It was just one night.
I could never imagine it so I didn't know what to do.
I'm sorry.
Do you hear yourself?
I was going to tell you right after the wedding.
I didn't want to upset you
so I couldn't say it.
You should've told me a few days ago when you first found out.
I'm sorry.
I can't get married.
I can't marry you.
Yeo-reum... please.
Our wedding is in ten minutes.
You shouldn't have let me find this ten minutes before our wedding.
You should have been the one who told me.
Yeo-reum.
Please think rationally.
Let's talk again after the wedding.
I'll do whatever you want me to do.
Let's get married first.
What about our parents and the guests?
Let's talk again calmly after the wedding.
A wedding is about making promises in front of other people.
That we'll trust and love each other till the end.
Are you that person to me?
Can I really believe that?
I...
I'm really confused
and I think there's something wrong.
I can't lie to people just because of our parents and friends.
-Park Jae-hoon? -Kang Chae-ri?
Funny how we meet at a place like this.
-How do you know Gu Yeo-reum? -We're friends.
I'm her co-worker.
Oh, you said you are the producer of Kingdom of Love, right?
Producer Gu is also in our team. Under me.
She joined us for the season two.
I didn't know that.
Our first shooting is tomorrow
and look how great she is at picking a wedding date.
-Jae-hoon! -Yes?
Have you seen Yeo-reum?
I just got here. What happened?
It's almost time for the ceremony but she's gone missing.
The groom suddenly vanished too.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Yeo-reum!
-What's she doing there? -No idea.
Dear guests.
I'm sorry.
Today's wedding is canceled.
They're canceling it?
This wedding is over.
All of a sudden?
Calling off the wedding?
-Honey, go after her! -Hey!
Yeo-reum!
Wait a moment. I'll bring the car.
Where should we go?
Home in Chuncheon?
I can't go anywhere.
I just want to disappear.
Is this what you wanted?
Hurting the bride's feelings
on her wedding day, which should be
the happiest day of her life.
Did it have to be this way?
You could've told me earlier, at least.
I missed the right moment because of my pride.
I'm sorry for not letting you know earlier.
I wanted to take the responsibility by myself.
I didn't want to contact you.
I didn't want it to look like
I'm clinging to a man with no love because of an unwanted baby.
But...
I couldn't let it go after hearing about your wedding.
I have chosen my baby.
And I thought letting you two know about my decision,
at least before the wedding, was the right thing to do.
Thank you.
Yes, ma'am.
Yeo-reum is with me right now.
I'm telling you in case you're worried.
Yes, I understand.
Yes.
Dr. Park!
Did you steal the bride from the groom at the wedding?
It's not like that.
Not like that? It's exactly what it looks like.
It might've been better off if I'd stolen her.
I brought some clothes for her to change into.
It's my daughter's old clothes, so I hope they fit her.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
I saw her going to the beach by herself.
Go in case she jumps in the water.
Okay!
I spoke to your mom. I told her you are with me.
After being humiliated like this, can a person
live as if nothing happened?
My life is my life so it's fine.
I'm really sorry for my mom and dad.
I have to start shooting tomorrow.
How can I do that for a month?
Forget going to work. I just want to run away.
The company will think I'm crazy if I take time off.
Why would you take time off? What's the big deal?
There are people who get divorced two or three times.
What's wrong with calling off a wedding?
People don't really care about others as much as we think they do.
They'll talk about it and whisper behind your back for a bit.
But that's it.
You did nothing wrong. And there's no reason to feel humiliated.
I did something wrong.
I was arrogant in thinking I knew the guy well.
I also rushed into marriage.
It was...
all my fault.
Yeo-reum, you picked a guy who was honest with you.
Don't doubt the honesty you saw.
It just turned out to be this way. Okay?
Dr. Park! Come eat.
-Go eat. -Let's go eat.
Open up.
-It's okay. -Open your mouth.
Eat it.
Good.
Don't give it to me. I'm not eating.
I don't feel like eating.
You should eat.
Open up.
Just open your mouth.
Eat it.
Give it to me. I'll eat it myself.
Eat it.
Good. You're eating well.
You need to eat to keep going.
Got it, Gu Yeo-reum?
See? You're eating well.
Thank you. Take care!
OLD SCHOOL FRIENDS GROUP CHAT
LEAVE CHATROOM
They are all so nasty.
What's up, honey? Why are you angry?
Our old high school friends are having fun talking about Yeo-reum.
They pretend to worry about her but they seem to be enjoying it.
All humans are like that. Don't get mad.
I couldn't stand it so I left the group chat.
What about Yeo-reum? Have you heard from her yet?
Any idea at all? Why was she like that?
I have no idea at all.
Anyway, she's someone who makes reasonable decisions,
so there must've been a reason for it.
Let's wait till she gets in touch.
-Honey. -Yes?
-I regret it a little. -What?
I should've listened to you no matter what.
You said we should help Yeo-reum and Jae-hoon get together.
We should've.
What difference does it make now?
Would you like to have a cup of tea with me?
I've had some bad fortune.
My husband died on my second child's first birthday.
I raised two children on my own.
After working so hard to see my children have their own family,
when I was about to live my own life,
I discovered a brain aneurysm.
I started having really bad migraines one day.
I foolishly endured the pain taking painkillers.
Then I collapsed on the street.
Dr. Park saved my life that day.
I invited him to this house after building it.
I nagged him so many times to come visit.
But, you know, neurosurgeons are busy.
Then one night, he suddenly turned up.
He asked me if he could stay for a while.
He locked himself up in the second building.
And he slept like a dead person for three months.
Then after a few years, he came back.
That's today, with you.
So he was here.
When he vanished,
I was worried about where he'd be.
So it was here.
But with such a wonderful man next to you,
why did you try to marry someone else instead of him?
EUNHABYUL INN
Yeo-reum.
Yes.
Let's go home now.
You can't stay here for long.
I ran away
and hid for too long.
And I forgot how to...
go back to normal.
But you're different from me.
How am I
any different?
You don't try to run away from your problems.
You are so brave.
And stay responsible till the end.
Let's go home.
I'll take you back to your place.
We'll head back. Thank you.
-Come back when you are free. -We will.
Thank you so much.
Producer Gu, we're in trouble.
SANG-WOO
Sang-woo, what is it?
What did you say?
I understand. I'm on my way. Okay.
I need to go to work now.
Why? What's wrong?
One of the cast members decided not to show up.
We start shooting this afternoon.
This is really driving nuts. Why is this happening now?
Hey! Gu Yeo-reum!
I don't care if you broke off your wedding or a leg.
How can a producer disappear a day before shooting?
Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry.
What happened?
He called us early in the morning.
The plastic surgeon we cast
-got arrested for taking propofol. -What?
We're three hours away from shooting. What do we do?
Didn't you do proper background checks on the cast?
Did you take time off work to prepare for your wedding?
Have you tried contacting backup applicants?
Did they all decline?
There's someone available starting tomorrow.
But there isn't anyone who can start filming today.
Bring a fill-in or all your staff will be cut.
It's my fault for disappearing a day before shooting.
But why are you bringing this on my staff?
Take care of it if you don't want to harm them.
I'll find a replacement before evening, no matter what--
Replacement by the evening? We only have three hours.
Okay. I'll take care of it before we start.
Bring your friend, Park Jae-hoon, instead of someone random.
How do you know Jae-hoon?
A tall and good looking plastic surgeon.
We'll be screwed from day one without him.
If you don't want to ruin the show, do whatever it takes to bring him.
Why are you here?
Damn it.
This bastard.
Don't you dare show up in front of Yeo-reum again.
Who do you think you are? What are you?
Gu Yeo-reum's best friend, you son of a bitch.
We're not over yet. Where's Yeo-reum?
Enough is enough!
Don't break her heart anymore and get lost.
It's driving me insane as well.
I can't undo it, and can I hold onto her.
There's nothing I can do.
And it's all my fault, but...
My feelings and what I said to her
were not lies.
Yeo-reum might think it was all fake,
and that breaks my heart.
Be a responsible man.
You've put her in this situation.
So you need to help her get out of it as soon as possible.
That is the very least you can do as a man.
JAE-HOON
Producer Gu, check this out.
What's this?
It's a list of plastic surgeons from the first interview.
Thera are three.
If we have no options...
He's the most handsome friend of mine and he's an Asian doctor,
if we don't have anyone.
-He's your best-looking friend? -Yes.
You're better looking.
-You're better than him. -Really?
I should go and get the ranking straight with my friends.
Are you okay? You must be quite upset. And now something like this happens.
How good would it be if we could edit life too?
Edit out anything that's painful or hard.
Skip the boring parts with fade-out.
But...
life isn't like that.
We have to live it to the fullest.
To make an hour-long video,
you have to work night and day for a few days in the editing room.
Instead of editing only cool scenes,
every second, every minute...
I think it's better to live every moment to the fullest.
-I'm going to drop by at home. -What about the fill-in?
I'll give you a call.
Tell the staff to stand by.
See you later at the set. Here!
I'm really better looking?
I don't need the receipt.
Thank you!
Mom, it's me.
My daughter, have you been eating?
Yes, I have. How about you?
Your dad and I have been eating too.
We had rice in water with Kimchi.
Yeo-reum.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry for urging you to rush the wedding.
My good daughter...
I think you rushed the wedding because of your dad,
and it's really painful.
Your dad and I have never done anything for you.
We've only been burdens to you.
So it breaks my heart.
Mom, I'm also really upset.
But I don't regret calling off the wedding.
It hurts now,
but I know I'll be happy again.
So please don't worry, okay?
Mom and Dad are not burdens to me.
You are the ones who made me believe Gu Yeo-reum can be happy.
You guys raised me that way.
So never say that again, okay?
Hey! What happened to your face?
Kim In-woo was outside.
So I told him to piss off.
Did you want to see him?
I have to see him at least once. But not today.
Did you figure things out at work?
-Jae-hoon. -Yes?
-You have to go somewhere with me. -Sure.
-Do you even know where? -Where is it?
The set of Kingdom of Love.
-Do you want me to take you there? -No, I want you to be on it.
Why are you asking me?
I need you.
The main producer is Kang Chae-ri and I have no power.
It might stain your image.
I'm not in a position to protect you, but...
I just don't have any strength to hold on.
So I need you. Very much so.
I'll do it.
You'll go on the show?
Yes, I will.
Why are you accepting so easily?
It's okay. Let's go together.
Please put the pots over here.
-Where does this go? -The lighting, hold on.
Next to the statue.
And the bench...
Let's get ready to shoot!
-VJs, please set up your cameras. -Okay.
Yes. Please set the equipment.
So the cast's rooms are all set, right?
-Yes, all done. -Okay.
-Hello. -Hello.
Park Jae-hoon will do it?
Don't ever threat me with my staff.
If it happens again, I'll make an official complaint to HR.
Sure.

-You care about her. -Who?
I want her to do her job.
-We'll retake the entrance cut. -Yes, understood.
We'll retake your entrance.
Should I do it again?
It's fine.
Please film the luggage.

-Hello. -Hello.
A pleasure to meet you. I'm John Jang.
Oh, aren't you a famous chef?
Yup. That's me.
-Please take a seat. -Thanks.
Get a tight shot of Kim Jun-ho's face.
What the... Why is she like that?
What? It's cute.
Does that look cute to you?
Yes. It's totally my style.
Geez. That's why she's never dated before.
-Hello. -Hello.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Park Ji-wan.
Ji-wan, it's wonderful to meet you.
Please let me take this. Come here.
-Thank you. -Wow, what a gentleman.
Get tight shots of their faces.
Please sit over here.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Hello.
Looking at her, we'd be lucky if she doesn't run away in the middle.
The last male cast, Park Jae-hoon, is 5 minutes away.
Please film Park Jae-hoon against the light.
Hello.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm John Jang.
I think we've met before.
Well, I've seen you a lot on TV.
I'm Park Jae-hoon.
-Hello. -Nice to meet you!
You look better in real life.
The last female cast is coming.
What's up with those two? Do they know each other?
There's a spark between them.
Hello. I'm Han Ji-yeon.
-Ji-yeon, nice to meet you. -A pleasure to meet you!
Nice to meet you!
I think everyone's here now.
-I look forward to a month with you. -Me too.
I look forward to our time here.
Cut!
So now, everyone can go to their rooms and settle in.
-In about... 30 minutes? -Yes.
We'll shoot as a group in 30 minutes.
VJs, please continue to follow the cast.
We'll take a break.
Thank you.
-Let's go in. -Yes! Let's go.
I didn't expect to meet you like this.
Yes.
So what brought you here?
I'm just...
It's a long story.
There was a reason I had to be on the show.
Let's talk privately later.
Okay.
-Okay. -It's a good idea.
"There's one man!"
"There's one man who loves a woman."
LOVE OF KINGDOM S2
They have cameras everywhere.
Where do I get changed then?
Over there is the blind spot.
Over here and there are the blind spots that won't be filmed.
So get changed over there.
And also, let me see.
Everything you say will be recorded by the previewers when the mic is on you.
So be careful.
So they can hear everything I say?
Yes, if the mic is on you.
Now you'll do the first impression pick.
Pick a dress from the showroom
and send it to the female cast you want.
Ladies will send suits to men.
-Wear it at the pool party in the evening. -Okay.
The production team will give a black bag for those who didn't get a vote.
There'll be underwear in it.
You can join the party if you wear the underwear.
Well, this is not Kingdom of Love. It sounds more like Kingdom of Perverts.
I'm sorry from dragging you into this.
So what should I do?
Should I go in briefs if I don't get a vote?
What do you want to do?
I'll do what you want.
As a producer, I want you to come in them.
But as your friend, no.
-Sounds like you want me to. -It's not--
Let's see how well Park Jae-hoon does.
See how many votes you get.
They're friends?
Seems like it will be more interesting than I thought.
Let's get to first impression pick if we're done with the outfits.
-Hee-chang! -Yes?
-Get the staff to stand by. -Okay, got it.
We'll start the first impression pick!
Everyone, stand by please!
Please head to the showroom now,
and pick outfits for the person you like.
There will be a pool party this evening.
Park Ji-wan was picked? That was unexpected.
I didn't expect Kim Jun-ho to pick her.
Some guys have a fetish for chubby women.
Just a preference.
Hey. Let's watch what we say.
I feel like my ears are rotting when I hear you sometimes.
Sorry for the rotten ears.
The way she answers back, it seems like Gu Yeo-reum is back.
What?
I said let's get to work.
Work.
Cast, please come out!
Female cast, make your entrance!
Should we help her?
How do you know Han Ji-yeon?
You don't want to date her?
Are you asking as a friend or a producer?
Don't make it complicated.
So you can use me. Just pick me.
Someone is waiting outside.
Who?
The person you were going to marry...
Look at this. It's not good for this to be talked about among the cast.
So you should behave properly.
Yeo-reum. I came here because of you.
I'm getting confused.
Don't be confused. Just tell me whatever you want.
