Can't you tell cheap pity from love?
Not here. Let's talk outside.
No, you talk.
How could you even think to fall in love when you're dying?

HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK TO FALL IN LOVE WHEN YOU'RE DYING?
EPISODE 8
Ms. Chae…
-[rain pattering on window] -[breathes shakily]
…I'm terminally ill.
Daeum.
This isn't acting, it's not for show.
I'm actually a dying terminal patient.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.
I couldn't keep our promise.
I just can't keep lying to her anymore.
[breathes deeply]
A terminal patient?
I'm sorry, Ms. Chae.
Is this all true?
Let's talk, you and I.
[scoffs, chuckles]
[huffs]
This is worse than I even imagined.
I can't stay here.
[door opens, closes]
Daeum.
Leave it to me. Don't worry.
It's raining, so don't go out.
Stay here.
[breathing heavily]
Let's talk.
Why?
Why did you follow me?
Trying to shut me up?
Is it enough just for me to keep quiet?
You call yourself human?
Yes, Daeum's sick. And…
[clicks tongue]
…she might really die soon too.
That's why I needed her.
What?
You know why I can never be all-in on this movie.
But Daeum?
She's genuinely devoted to Gyuwon. So I figured even if I mess it up,
she'd be the one to complete this movie.
Lee Jeha.
You're insane.
I'm sick and tired
of being the only one stuck in place.
You, Seungwon, Jungwoo.
Everyone I worked with all moved forward in the last five years.
Only I was still right where I'd been.
So I grabbed on to a dying girl
and my father's movie
just so I could find a way out.
You should've stayed where you were and rotted.
I know.
I should've done that.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
You've got two options now.
Make things right,
or keep lying to everyone and drag this whole thing down with you.
Either way, don't expect my support.
I know I can't turn things back.
But I want to make this movie with Daeum.
-[scoffs] -She really doesn't have much time.
A terminal patient.
You're seriously filming with a girl who could die at any moment?
What if she really dies?
That means you're done too!
-[huffs] -If I can just finish this movie,
I don't care if I never get another chance
or if people think I'm inhumane.
None of that really matters anymore.
You should've made a deal,
not come begging.
If you cast her knowing the risk that she could die mid-shoot,
and I found out?
You should've told me, "You want the role?
No? Then tell me what you actually want."
It's not the movie you're trying to protect.
You're trying to protect Daeum.
[♪ melancholy music playing]
I'll think about what to do with what I know.
Me? I can just expose everything and walk away.
I have no interest in staying quiet about any of this.
However,
if it's a deal, I'll consider it.
I can see you have feelings for her.
But why does that seem so pathetic to me?
Can someone like you give everything up and love someone?
Even knowing it's going to end? Can you really?
[phone ringing]
-[sighs] -[ringing continues]
[ringing stops]
[Daeum] Would you like a sandwich?
I love you, Seoyoung!
Thanks for the food.
Let's rehearse together here.
I'll be here whenever you want.
That's how I'll repay you for the sandwich.
[sighs]
Thank you,
for keeping me alive today.
[chuckles]
After shooting nothing but car chases and exploding buildings all day,
slowing down to watch someone else's sappy love story…
feels great. [chuckles]
Really? I find it awfully hard.
It's hard, sure. But it's got its own charm.
You look at their love
and rethink your own.
So how do you tell what is or isn't love?
[Cheolmin] How could you not tell?
Does everyone know how to tell that?
You really can't tell?
[inhales sharply] Or are you the type who's scared to admit it?
It's not that he can't admit it, maybe he's confused.
Real love is rare these days, you hardly see it.
Make one wrong call and your whole life is ruined.
If you build a wall around your heart,
love can try to knock it down and you still won't recognize it.
It's sad but happens all the time.
Sad? I'd call it caution.
It's just immature to pour your heart out to anything that feels like love.
When it's blurry, you need to use good judgment.
And how do you do that?
Ah. Most of the time,
if you're wondering whether it's love or not,
chances are it's already begun.
[scoffs] Mm-mmm.
Or it usually fades out in confusion.
Maybe it's a matter of courage.
[Ms. Jo] What's courage got to do with it?
-Uh, if you're too defensive… -[Ms. Jo] Mmm.
…you won't even notice love when it's there.
[Ms. Jo] Gosh.
Wow, that looks good.
We get two days off after today's shoot.
Are you heading to Seoul?
Yes, I need to see my dermatologist.
Should we go to the hospital first, then?
Uh… No, I have a friend who goes with me.
The one you live with? Gyoyeong?
-Yes. -Hang on. Let me check my calendar.
Let's see. Huh?
JEHA'S MOTHER'S MEMORIAL DAY
I should ask if Jeha… I mean, Mr. Lee's going too.
[inhales sharply] Tomorrow's his mother's memorial day,
so I should drive him if he's too tired.
Wait, I should've run that by you first.
Oh. No, of course, you should.
He has to come with us.
I'll tell him later myself.
That worked, right?
Yes, the emotion was there. We'll use that take.
Okay. See you later, Mr. Lee.
Hong, we're good here. Let's move on to the bookstore.
Start setting it up.
Sure.
Hello.
-Hello, Mr. Ji. -Hello.
-Hello.
Eunho.
It'll take at least half an hour to set up.
Why are you out so early?
I wanted to rehearse.
And getting to see the crew lug around these big pieces of equipment…
The whole commotion fascinates me.
Then do you want to watch me set up while you rehearse?
Sounds good. [chuckles]
The DP says speed's the key to this shoot,
so he's been drilling us on fast setups.
I see.
We get two days off starting tomorrow. Heading to Seoul?
Yeah. I'm going for a day, and spending another here.
-Then I guess I'm staying too. -Hmm?
Hang out with me. What do you say?
I'll stay here and wait for you.
[speaking indistinctly]
-Mr. Ji. -Okay.
What are you doing here?
Just enjoying the scenery.
[Cheolmin] Meeting with the director?
Go on.
Wow. Mr. Lee!
The ocean's so pretty here.
[sighs] I love it.
Are you heading to Seoul tomorrow?
I've been meaning to tell you.
Let's go together.
Junbyung said we should go together
because you looked tired.
Why is he being nosy all of a sudden?
You're supposed to get a checkup at the hospital. You can't go with him.
I'll just tell him
that I'll take you on my way there.
The lies just keep piling up.
I'm sorry.
For piling up more lies.
If that's what we need to do, then we lie.
We can't afford to fall apart from guilt right now.
Aren't we in this together,
bound by a contract?
[Hong, on walkie-talkie] Mr. Lee?
Yeah, what is it?
Need something to drink?
Anything's fine.
Let's go.
Mr. Lee!
What do you mean "anything"? That didn't help.
Hmm?
-Thanks for this, Daeum. -Pardon?
Your manager was milking that coffee truck for all its worth. [chuckles]
But why did you thank me?
There's a super fancy coffee truck with your name plastered all over it.
Did you sign with an agency?
Hmm. Good for you.
TAKE CARE OF DAEUM'S GYUWON WARM WISHES TO THE CAST AND CREW
-[server] Here's your order. -[customers 1, 2] Great, thank you.
-Thank you. -The straws are right next to you.
-[customer 1] Okay. -[customer 3] I love this.
So chewy.
[clears throat]
TAKE CARE OF DAEUM'S GYUWON
Oh.
-Was it you? -Wow, there were so many options.
I heard that's the highest-tier coffee truck.
Here, try it.
Did you arrange all of this?
-Thank you. -Huh?
It's good.
Surprise!
[Seungwon] Wow, Daeum. [claps]
Treating the whole crew?
That's our leading lady. Hmm?
Ah…
Did you arrange this, Ms. Go?
[chuckles]
I should grab one too.
[Seungwon] Oh, what would you like? Something hot?
-Come on, it's always iced for me. -[Seungwon] One iced please.
All right, they're still setting up,
so let's have some milk tea.
Hey, Jaein! Have some of this.
[Ms. Go sighs]
It's been a while, Jaein.
Hello, Ms. Go.
It's like you know every actor out there.
You two are acquainted?
[Ms. Go] Mm-hmm.
I felt we were cut from the same cloth, so we had a quick chat.
Didn't we?
-[chuckles] -Ms. Go and Jaein…
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I guess you are similar.
[laughs]
-[sighs] -[Ms. Go chuckles]
[Seungwon] It's not easy doing all this
for someone who's not even signed with your agency.
I guess you're hoping
the third time's the charm.
Third time? Please.
She didn't even give me three seconds.
[Daeum chuckles]
As you can see, I already have a manager.
He knows me well and takes very good care of me.
My manager's all I need at this moment.
Are you sure?
Or did the director gaslight you into thinking so?
Come on, Ms. Go. I'm not that gullible.
-Thank you for the drinks. -Please enjoy, Daeum.
Have some more.
This is really good.
Hey, you two. Come over here.
Here you go.
You too, Seoyoung.
TAKE CARE OF DAEUM'S GYUWON WARM WISHES TO THE CAST AND CREW
Thanks for this, Daeum.
Must be uncomfortable though,
getting support you didn't ask for.
For now, maybe.
But you never know.
She might end up joining us.
And maybe you, Seoyoung, might end up wanting my support again.
Shall we head back to set?
It's exciting, the first scene with all three of you.
Let's go.
Shall we?
Can't you tell cheap pity from love?
Not here. Let's talk outside.
[Seoyoung] No, you talk.
How could you even think
to fall in love when you're dying?
Yes, that's good. Let's go like that.
This line is too cruel.
Can't you tell cheap pity from love?
Not here. Let's talk outside.
No, you talk.
How could you even think to fall in love when you're dying?
[Daeum] Why not?
I can love harder, more truly.
What could you possibly do with so little time?
Anything I can.
Whether it's love
or a proper goodbye.
[Seoyoung] That's selfish.
Something only the one leaving would say.
-Cut. -[Hong] That's a cut!
Give me a moment.
LEE GYUWON BOOKSTORE
Mr. Lee, it's Seoyoung.
[whispering] She wants to talk to you. I think you should go.
[sighs]
[whispering] Got a call from Seoyoung.
That wasn't Gyuwon and Junghwa in there.
That was Lee Daeum and Chae Seoyoung.
I used Junghwa's voice to say what I wanted to say.
That was a cruel thing to say to Daeum
and wasn't professional of me.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I get it.
It's like that time.
Back when we did The Lonely People.
When I hid in the bathroom because I couldn't go on,
you came to get me just like now.
[sniffling]
Let's keep it calm.
When I smile, when I look blank, when I look nervous. You keep saying no.
This is a secret, but I'm making this film because I don't really know.
Don't know what?
What it's like to love someone.
[Seoyoung] You said you didn't know back then.
Do you know now?
I think I might.
That was good just now. I'm going to keep your improvised lines.
I know this is hard for you as an actor.
As your director, I do feel sorry.
As an actor?
As a director?
Look at you, drawing lines.
How shameless.
This is our workplace, after all.
[knocks on door]
Seoyoung. Are you feeling okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Rest up a bit.
Might be hard to reshoot from the top because of labor hour issues.
We'll go with the last take and wrap up here.
Really? We'll call it a day?
Yeah.
Ms. Yu, the last cut's a go.
Please strike the set. Thank you, everyone.
Oh, we're good to go.
Okay, then!
-Great work, everyone. -Well done.
If you keep killing it like this, I won't want to let you go.
We're going with that take! Thank you, everyone!
-Great job! -Good work, everyone.
Are you okay?
Not now. Let's talk later.
[sighs] First week of shooting and there's already been an incident.
What? That wasn't an incident.
Spare a little attention for Seoyoung too.
You've been too focused on Daeum.
And it's not just me who thinks that.
Hey, director.
Stay balanced, okay?
Okay?
Whatever, let's get a drink.
Come on, let's go.
[knocks on door]
[sighs]
I said, let's talk later.
I have something to say, Ms. Chae.
I'm sorry.
[♪ emotional piano music playing]
I blurted out that line without discussing first.
You must've been thrown off.
It felt real.
I picked up on it, and the emotion just flowed.
The director okayed it, so don't stress over it.
I woke up this morning…
and realized I was still alive.
For someone like me, waking up at all is a miracle.
Then I thought, am I asking too much?
Is it right to do all this when it makes people uncomfortable?
And then, Junghwa's line really hit me.
So…
It's not just you. I do that too.
I'm not sure if it's me or Junghwa talking.
Or if what we're doing here is even right.
[Daeum] Hmm.
Both Gyuwon and I
are terminally ill patients.
But we're both still alive.
You know, Ms. Chae…
I really want to be in this movie.
Yeah, I understand that.
No, you don't understand.
Uh…
Every night, I beg to live.
And when I wake up,
I think, "Wow, I got one more day."
"Wait, no."
"Maybe today's the last."
You have to know
I've put everything on the line for this.
All the time I have left.
So what do you want me to do?
Shut up and pretend I don't know?
I know it sounds selfish,
but I want to ask you to pretend like you don't know.
At least you're honest.
Okay, then.
Let me be honest with you too.
If you're only thinking about yourself,
then so will I.
Wow.
[sighs] Just take a glass. Hmm.
[moans]
Mmm.
This is good. Try it.
That's sweet. Hmm?
Let me try some.
Mmm.
Man, that's a perfect pairing.
Just like you and me.
What do you want to get out of this film?
Did you drink the makgeolli? Why, all of a sudden?
You know, just curious.
Bu Seungwon's got the Midas touch.
Everything I get involved in makes money.
Is that really what matters?
We're talking about people's livelihoods here.
I'm responsible for that too.
That applies to me too.
Oh, please.
Directors shouldn't stress about that.
What do you want out of it?
That you can do it without your dad?
Not sure. Now that I'm actually making this film, I keep forgetting
who Lee Duyoung was to me,
and…
whether that even mattered to me in the first place.
You've changed a bit lately.
No.
It's like you want to change.
I don't know if I'm someone who can change.
Everyone can change.
Hopefully your change brings a box office hit, huh?
-[exclaims] Daeum! -[Daeum grunts]
[exclaims]
Our leading lady.
Are you heading in now?
We're going in for another round. Want to join us?
[Daeum stammers]
I must be drunk already. My head hurts.
Wait, were you even a drinker?
Oh… [chuckles]
I got drunk on the vibes, so to speak. [chuckles]
Uh, I need to walk it off a bit.
Have a good night.
I'll see you later.
All right.
You think they have makgeolli in there?
[sighs]
[Seoyoung] Was that loud entrance necessary?
You've also caused quite the scene on set.
Maybe that's partly your fault.
You seemed a little upset earlier.
Not upset.
Just embarrassed.
Mmm.
I came to see Daeum, sure.
But I also wanted to talk to you.
About what?
The contract. What's your decision?
Do you even need me?
Of course, I do.
I don't need you.
Negotiation's off.
Please leave so I can rest.
Then what do you need?
Tell me. Let me hear it.
I've got scripts from all the hottest directors.
Don't need those either?
Sincerity.
What?
I'm not asking for something you don't have.
We weren't always like this.
What happened to us?
Get some rest.
-[door opens, closes] -[sighs]
Why are you following me?
It's not safe out here.
-There are wild dogs and all. -Mmm.
Perfect, then.
Want to go for a walk with me?
There's a lighthouse over there.
That's not a good idea.
You shouldn't walk that long.
Then how about sitting for long?
I don't think anyone from our crew will show up here.
Right?
Are you cold? Let's head back in.
[stammers] No, it's not that.
Why do I feel so uncomfortable?
[stammers] You know what? Okay. [grunts]
There. [moans]
That's good.
-What are you doing? -I want to hear the waves,
look at the stars,
and see your face too.
[Daeum chuckles]
[Daeum humming]
Last night,
why did you just stand there like a fool?
[♪ melancholic pop music playing]
"Some crazy terminal patient followed me around
and kept begging me."
"She put her life on the line,
so I just gave in."
You could've just said that.
I have some unresolved stuff with Seoyoung.
It wasn't about you.
My own mess…
ended up hurting you.
Mr. Lee.
It's our mess, isn't it?
There's no your mess or my mess between us.
We're in this together,
bound tightly by a contract.
I don't exactly know what happened
between you and Seoyoung…
but don't beat yourself up too much.
Why do you keep worrying about me?
Because I like you.
You just worry about yourself.
Why do you keep worrying about me?
Gosh.
It's getting cold.
Shall we head back in?
[phone buzzing]
MS. GO HYEYOUNG
Give these to Daeum for me.
You two seemed especially close.
Okay, I'll pass these on.
Sorry for the late hour. I'm driving back up now.
All right, have a safe trip.
[inhales sharply]
Are you dating Daeum?
That kind of question
is a bit out of line.
Well, I've been burned once
by you before.
Whatever you have with Daeum,
just don't mess with Seoyoung.
Even if Seoyoung's the one hung up on you,
at least don't hurt her
like you did last time.
Junbyung.
Hey. Should I tell Daeum to come down?
Actually, I'll drive her.
Why?
I'm heading up anyway. No need for both of us to go.
You can just rest here.
But you must be exhausted from shooting nonstop.
And you don't even like driving.
I do like driving, and I'm not exhausted.
You've always hated driving.
When you start liking things you normally hate
and don't even get tired,
that could be, you know…
You know what people say.
[whispering] Love.
[♪ playful music playing]
Just anything black is fine.
"Anything black" isn't a thing.
How can a cinematographer have so little aesthetic sense?
Black comes in all kinds of tones.
Why are you so aggressive?
[coos]
Try this on.
Uh, if it's XL, it'll fit.
[exclaims]
Why are you coasting through life?
For coats like this,
the fit makes all the difference.
Come over here.
Oh, okay.
Put your arms in.
Hey, this looks nice.
Yeah. It's nice.
Makes you look handsome.
Sorry?
You know, clothes make the man.
Ah.
This is good. Much better. Let's get this one.
Okay.
[exclaims] Oh, no, I'll pay.
Hey, that wasn't our deal.
-Please. -[chuckles]
-[Jeha] You've eaten, right? -[Daeum] Yes.
My manager makes sure I never miss a meal.
Good luck with your checkup.
-Are you feeling okay? -Of course.
These days, I even forget I'm sick sometimes. [chuckles]
Mr. Lee.
After you drop me off and see Dr. Minseok,
are you heading somewhere?
Yes, to see my mother.
Today's her memorial day.
Ah.
Hello.
I'm here to see Dr. Lee Junghyo at the Center for Genetic Medicine.
A moment, please.
Go on ahead. I'll bring you your stuff.
Uh…
Instead of bringing my stuff,
could you just wait for me?
-Sorry? -The food here is pretty amazing.
You can go eat and wait for me.
-Why? -"Why, why, why"! You always ask that.
Because I want to go with you.
Didn't I tell you I have somewhere to be later?
Okay, go.
I'll wait for you then.
Let's stick together today.
-That's unnecessary. -"Unnecessary"?
I hate that word, "unnecessary."
Maybe it is, but we can still go together.
All right, then. I'll wait for you.
Really? Sweet! That's awesome!
It won't take long.
I'll be right back.
Oh, hello.
Is Dr. Lee Junghyo in today?
No, he's off today.
Goodness. Well, that's a bust.
What is this about?
I have some personal business with him.
By any chance, do you know
this person in the middle?
BE AS HAPPY AS YOU CHOOSE TO BE
Daeum made that for me. It was her birthday gift for herself.
If it was her birthday, why did she give you a gift?
I know, right?
Wait, hang on.
Oh, her birthday's actually today.
Pardon?
Today is Daeum's birthday?
Yes. Wish her a happy birthday for me.
Okay.
And…
I'll start coming to the set once a week.
Every day from now on…
is troubling, honestly.
Let me know in advance, and I'll accommodate.
But, Doctor…
is there really no way
she can survive?
There's somewhere we should go.
Hey, is she in?
Yes, she just went in.
Ah.
-I can stay. -Okay.
[sighs]
I've waited forever to see her,
and the first thing I see is my daughter lying down.
Thank you for bringing her here yourself.
Of course.
How is the shoot?
Is Daeum adjusting well?
Yes, she's well. Always smiling.
She says she forgets she's even sick.
Man, that girl and her bluff.
She's in a lot of pain
but putting on a brave face.
She always smiles the brightest when she's hurting the most.
So when she smiles,
that's when you should worry.
[♪ emotional music playing]
[Daeum] This making movies thing…
I love it so much! [laughs]
How about you, Mr. Lee?
Are you adjusting well to this situation?
I'm not too sure.
You may come to regret your decision
as time goes on, actually.
Still, seeing as Daeum's smiling a lot,
I hope you smile a lot too.
Yes, that's what
I've decided to do.
All right.
What's all this?
What do you mean?
Blow them out already.
What is it? Oh.
Happy birthday, dear.
[chuckles]
[giggles]
Let's see. Do I take this off?
All right. There we go.
That's it.
I used to lick this off.
[both laugh]
-I'll cut the cake, then. -Okay.
There.
Like this.
Give it here, I'll do it.
Like this.
-[gasps] Wow, it looks delicious. -Okay.
Dig in.
-[chuckles] Thank you. -[sighs] Mmm.
Let's try it. [sniffs]
Mmm. [chuckles]
[sniffles]
Why are you crying? It's supposed to be a happy day.
I always cry when I eat something tasty.
[laughs, sniffles]
You're just like your mom when you do that.
[both chuckle]
It's so good.
Yeah, it is.
Why have you lost so much weight?
I haven't.
You don't even go home.
Are you living here?
Of course not.
I'm not doing that. I'm fine. Go on and eat.
Man, this is too creamy.
I prefer chocolate cake.
You like chocolate?
Okay, I'll get you a chocolate cake next time.
[chuckles, sniffles]
I prayed to Mom earlier.
I asked her to stop you from hurting.
How's the shoot going? Are you having fun?
It's unbelievable.
Wow. It's like…
stepping into a whole new world.
Is the director treating you well?
Mm-mmm.
No, I treat him well.
I'm very kind to him.
When he tells me not to, I double down and treat him even better.
[laughs]
It's been a while.
What? [laughs]
Since I've seen you smile.
[both laugh]
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful when you smile.
Say "ah."
Ah.
[Junbyung] Now, this is what we're supposed to eat in Gangwon-do, right?
Why did you ask me to eat with you?
There's a lot I don't know.
Rookie actress, rookie manager, I guess?
Anyway, I've been feeling bad for Daeum.
I know you're busy, but if it's not too much trouble,
do you mind if I ask for your advice now and then?
Mmm.
So you were nosy for a reason.
Buy me this meal and I'll consider it.
Of course! Please dig in. Have everything.
-[exclaims] -This is all cooked.
[Hong] Thank you.
You eat too. [chuckles]
[Daeum] Mr. Lee. Hi.
It took longer than I thought. Did I keep you too long?
It's fine. Did the checkup go okay?
Yes.
-Did you have something to eat? -Yes, sure.
[both chuckle]
[Huitae] Director Lee?
Goodness. Wow.
What a surprise to see you here.
And with Ms. Lee Daeum, no less?
What are you doing here?
And what are you doing at a hospital with Ms. Lee?
Why do you want to know that?
[Huitae chuckles] I'm sorry if I crossed a line.
I'm the one who wrote the article about her,
so I was excited to see her.
All right, then.
Let's go, Daeum.
All right.
[inhales sharply, sighs]

[Huitae] No, hang on.
This could be an even juicier scoop.
[chuckles]
-Hello! -Hey, Daeum! Long time no see.
-Have you been well? -Yeah.
The flowers I asked for earlier…
Yeah. Allium, chrysanthemum, and baby's breath.
I have them all ready.
Who's that?
Um…
A guy I'm getting to know at a slightly fast pace.
[florist] Hello.
Yes, hello.
Uh… What are we doing here, Daeum?
Who are we making this for?
Your mother.
She'd love this.
That's why you need to make them pre…
You're doing well.
Let's take this one.
She'll love it even more since her son made it.
That flower.
The purple one. What's that? It looks unusual.
It's allium.
"Endless sorrow."
It's a symbol for endless sorrow.
It's endlessly sad to not have someone you love by your side.
No one really knows where that sorrow ends.
But if I have to live with it forever,
I guess I'll have to love this sorrow that's deep in my heart.
Thank you.
Doesn't look like anything's wrong.
Yes, it looks okay.
The catering we got was so good.
-I know, right? -Definitely.
Who chose that one? It was a great choice.
-It was me, of course. -[colleague 1] Really?
[colleague 2] Look at him being all smug.
NOH HUITAE: DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
[colleague 1] The budget's pretty much set.
I think we're good to go.
[colleague 2] No problems on my end, either.
THE LATE YU EUNAE
Mr. Lee.
I'll wait here.
Let's go in together.
Okay.
I was wondering who was cleaning it up all the time.
It was you.
[chuckles] How lovely.
Eunae would love it.
I'll head out.
Ms. Kim.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
THE LATE YU EUNAE
Thank you for today.
I should be thanking you.
It must've been a hassle.
It wasn't a hassle.
I'll come pick you up tomorrow.
Um, Mr. Lee.
Yes?
Can I ask you something?
Yes, what is it?
You said before
that there was no such thing as love
in Love in White.
Right.
Do you still think that?
[♪ peaceful piano music playing]
I recently came across
the original draft of Love in White. And there…
I saw my mother's name written on it.
"Yu Eunae."
Love in White…
was written by my mother, not my father.
Ever since I discovered that,
everything's been a blur.
Is there really no love in Love in White?
Or did I think there wasn't because I resented my father so much?
So I really want to find out
what my mother was really trying to say through Love in White.
Can I help you find that too?
No.
Oh.
Because you already are.
[door closes]
Daeum.
Happy birthday.
I got it from the flower shop earlier.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Auntie!
Gyo!
-♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ -♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

[cheering]
Blow them out!
No, no! Make a wish first.
Oh. [sighs]
I don't have to make a wish.
How come?
This is enough for me.
And…
my wish already came true.
Oh, did you lay that out for me because it's my birthday?
Oh, look at you, getting flowers from a man!
You're all grown up.
How did you know?
He loves movies, doesn't he?
And makes good ones too?
But it's one-sided.
It's only me who feels this way.
[clicks tongue]
And you said it wasn't about you.
[chuckles] But you've kissed and even got flowers,
and it's still one-sided?
That's a new spin.
Is it?
Does it sound weird?
It's not that it's weird.
Maybe you just want to believe that?
What?
Are you sure it's just you?
I don't think it is.

LOVE IN WHITE SCREENPLAY BY YU EUNAE
SOMETHING IS STIRRING IN ME
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN CALL THAT LOVE
"Something is…
stirring in me…
but I don't know if I can call that love."
OR IF I'M EVEN SOMEONE WORTHY OF IT
"Or if I'm even someone…
worthy of it."
[gasps] Mr. Lee, look at those waves crashing.
It's gorgeous.
[humming]
[both laugh]
You should go on in.
You're not coming?
I've actually got plans.
Plans?
There's something I need to finish up today.
Okay, then. Take care of yourself.
Don't worry.
-Did you wait long? -No.
Let's go.
[grunts]
You're not going to confess your feelings, are you?
[chuckles]
Way to ruin the mood.
Sorry.
I'm just feeling a little impatient.
I'm the type to go full speed,
but you? Jeez…
You're always hitting reverse.
Then and now.
It's hard to act tough,
especially in front of someone I like.
I'm like that too.
I get all clumsy and awkward
in front of someone I like.
I know
that you like someone.
My eyes are always on you…
but yours are always on someone else.
-[Daeum] Mr. Lee. -Yes?
-[Daeum] It's good, isn't it? -Yes, it's good.
Is that what you wanted to ask me?
[Eunho] And that person's eyes…
are always on you too.
You didn't know? It's so obvious.
Actually,
I did know.
I felt it too.
-But… -No, stop.
My story comes first.
I'm just a stand-in, so I'll leave soon.
And honestly, there's no room for me here.
This isn't me trying to look cool. I really mean it.
When I see you,
you seem good.
You look happy.
That's all I need.
You've got a good eye, Eunho.
I really am happy.
In about 30 minutes, the sun will begin to set.
You see that lighthouse?
I heard the view's amazing there.
I'm off to drink some soju.
[grunts]
[sighs]
[phone buzzing]
LEE DAEUM
Yes?
Mr. Lee.
I don't have an excuse or anything.
You know the yellow lighthouse?
Can you meet me there?
I want to see the sunset with you.
But you have to run since the sun's setting soon.
[sighs]
[waves crashing in distance]
[♪ stirring electronic music playing]
[sighs]
[panting]
I'm not late, am I?
I want to run until my heart bursts too.
So that's what it felt like.
I'd forgotten that.
I keep forgetting things when I'm with you.
You're sick,
but I don't see that.
There's no time, but it feels like there is.
I like you,
but I feel like I shouldn't.
I thought I was mistaken…
but I know all too well that it's real.
[♪ romantic pop song playing]
[♪ electronic pop song playing]
[Daeum] That feeling of wondering if it's okay to love someone who's dying?
I don't know it either.
Are you seeing Daeum?
Can you… do that?
Can't I?
[sighs]
I told you that I won't support you no matter what choice you make.
[Daeum] What are you trying to say is the problem?
Lee Daeum as a person.
