01x04 - Sweet but Dangerous

[bunniefuu]

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL,

AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY

TO ACTUAL PERSONS, PLACES,

ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS, AND EVENTS

Mr. Jeong Gu-won.

Today, I'm making

the greatest bet of my life

on this man.

Marry me.

I don't want to.

Why not? Just marry her.

That was the worst bet ever.

Do-hee.

Don't say anything.

Why would you follow me out right now?

To protect you.

I'm your bodyguard.

I keep my work and personal life separate.

I must've been crazy.

EPISODE 4

SWEET BUT DANGEROUS

-I want to hold it!

-No!

-Let me hold it!

-I said no!

Ta-da.

She's unbelievable!

Did you see that?

She proposed to him

right in front of our eyes to rub it in!

I got stabbed in the back

by my own mother.

Let's take legal action.

There's no point.

-Why not?

-We both have already received

more than our statutory shares

from Mother.

We won't get another penny.

Okay, let me think.

What if we claimed

that Mom had Alzheimer's?

That her will is invalid

since she was mentally unfit.

Attorney Jeong assisted her.

It's already been legally reviewed.

sh*t!

Austin! Justin!

Come here, you little brats!

What do we do now, honey?

12 YEARS AGO

Do it by the book.

He should pay for what he's done.

I made a mistake because I was drunk.

I didn't know it was a person!

Mother!

Mother…

is driving you into a corner again.

If this is what she wanted,

I'll follow suit.

I'm pretty chill,

which means I already got over it.

Then why are you sitting back there?

My seat was always here.

Then why did you--

You probably want to explain in detail

why you had to turn down my offer,

but I'm not interested.

-I wasn't going to explain--

-I haven't been sleeping well lately.

I wasn't in my right mind,

and it was a spur-of-the-moment thing

like sleep-talking.

Don't tell me you thought

I was being serious.

The proposal?

I wouldn't use such a grand term.

Then what else should I call a proposal?

An accident.

It would make a lot more sense

to call it a small accident.

It doesn't matter to me either way.

What doesn't matter to you?

Calling it an accident?

Or that I wasn't being serious?

Or the fact that I proposed…

The fact that I sleep-talked?

If I had to answer, all three of them.

Just put on some music.

Play some uplifting music.

Will I ever get married?

Will I ever get married?

Next song.

It's already the end of the year

I even thought about marrying you

-With our own house

-Next song.

With our own room

Will you marry me…

-Everyone's got marriage on their minds.

-I said I don't!

…the rest of your life with me

The two of us…

I want some peace and quiet.

You wanted music a minute ago.

Turn off the music, please.

I won't let what happened today

get in our business because I'm chill.

But you've been the very opposite…

TO DO-HEE

I don't feel hurt at all,

probably because I never meant it.

It's just that I happened to notice

Jeong Gu-won at that moment.

There's nothing more to…

I mean,

if you weren't going to marry me,

why did you hit on me?

Why did you keep showing up

in front of me?

Do that again,

and I'll drag you to our wedding

with a snare around your neck.

TO DO-HEE

No, a tranquilizer g*n would be better

since he's not human.

The ones they use on elephants.

Right in the neck

with a dosage high enough

to knock out an elephant.

Bang.

I better stay out of her sight for now.

Jeong Gu-won?

I can't believe it.

They k*lled Aunt Cheon-suk over an audit?

And now they're after you?

I need to find out who's behind it.

To do that,

I'll need to become chairwoman

and form an audit team myself.

No, I think you should stay out of it.

You'll be in even more danger.

I'm already in danger anyway.

I can't be safe

until the culprit is caught.

Still, Do-hee…

It's my fault.

It feels like

all of this happened because of me.

Madam Ju was k*lled

while trying to leave her position to me.

And I was the one who warned her

that something was up.

You know that's not true.

This was going to happen eventually.

You should be blaming

the one who k*lled her.

That's why I need to find out

who did this.

Anyway…

The guy at the funeral…

He's the guy

you went on a blind date with, right?

Was his name Jeong Gu-won?

-Yes.

-I get that you were desperate,

but how could you think of marrying a guy

you went on one date with?

He's a bit more than that.

Do you have feelings for him?

It's not like that.

He saved me multiple times.

So that's why you hired him

as your bodyguard?

He's the one

who can keep me safe

better than anyone else.

You're back.

Why do you always hang out in my office?

Because your office is nicer than mine.

How was the food?

What do chaebols serve at funerals?

It wasn't a funeral, but a party.

A surprise party at that.

-What?

-Human greed knows no end.

Now that I'm her bodyguard,

she wants me to marry her.

-Who does?

-Who else? Do Do-hee.

She proposed to me today.

What?

Hold on.

So that movie was a true story?

What movie?

THE BODYGUARD

This is a movie

about a singer and her bodyguard.

They hate each other's guts at first,

but they fall in love.

We're not like that.

Do Do-hee said the proposal

was just her sleep-talking.

Humans tend to be more sincere

in situations like that.

In their sleep, while drunk…

That's when they let their guard down.

She said she wasn't being serious.

"Rule number one for bodyguards."

"Never let her out of your sight."

"Rule number two."

"Never stray far from her."

"Rule number three."

"Never…

fall in love with her."

This is my favorite romance movie.

I should've become a bodyguard,

not a butler.

"No!"

That's nothing but human delusion.

What would you know

when you're clueless about love?

I'm not clueless.

I'm just not swayed

by something so stupid.

Love is a weakness.

Humans are already foolish,

and it only makes them even more foolish.

You're only like this

because you didn't get enough love.

You would've become

a guardian and not a demon

-if only you'd been loved.

-Enough with your talk about guardians.

Cut it out and get back to work.

Look at that tower of papers.

I finished my work a while ago.

Those are for you.

All of them?

My goodness.

You can't possibly sleep on the sofa.

I won't.

I'll keep watch all night,

so you can go to sleep.

I said I'm fine.

Do you think I'd get any sleep

if I left you alone right now?

I won't, so I'd rather keep watch.

You know I can't sleep

with another person under the same roof.

Then I'll be outside the door.

I was a Marine, remember?

I shouldn't have told you all that.

I'm not going to tell you

anything from now on.

Don't you dare do that.

What I'm saying is…

Do you think I'd get any sleep

knowing you're staying awake for me?

Right?

Fine.

Take it.

Here.

I'll get going, so sleep tight.

I'll go dig through some papers

since that's what I'm good at.

Thanks.

Thank me later

when you can finally sleep without worry.

Right. Give me your phone.

Why do you need my phone?

I'm going to add myself

as your emergency contact.

GUARDIAN

There.

Don't worry too much.

Security's tight here.

Don't keep things to yourself,

and don't try too hard to be okay.

You can't possibly be okay

after what you've been through.

I know I fall short,

but I'll do my best

to fill in for Aunt Cheon-suk.

You fall way too short.

You'd have to be way surlier

to fill in for Madam Ju.

Call me if anything happens.

I will.

One more thing.

What was that about an elephant earlier?

An elephant?

I have no idea.

-I clearly heard you talking about

-I'm so tired.

-knocking out an elephant or something.

-I'm going to bed. Get going.

-Thanks.

-Bye.

I'm all alone again

for the first time…

in 17 years.

Let's just get to the next step.

I should probably read

Madam Ju's letter first.

GROUP CHAT WITH LEE NU-RI,

PARK SEONG-HYEON, KIM SO-YEON…

What's this?

Nice pictures, Do-hee.

-Who's the guy?

-Who are you talking about? Show me.

A guy?

MIRAE HEIR TURNED DOWN

AT THE SPEED OF LIGH

What the heck is this?

I can't believe I have to

manually sign every document.

With my powers gone,

life is such a drag.

What are you going to do about Do Do-hee?

I mean the proposal.

I'm not crazy enough to marry her

in addition to being her bodyguard.

For a demon, as an apex predator,

to marry an insignificant human

would be like a meat eater marrying a pig.

Is this how animals feel?

I'm sorry, pigs, chickens,

and the occasional cows.

There's no need for me

to get too involved.

All I have to do

is hold out until the next full moon

and go back to being my perfect self.

I'm finally done.

The man Do Do-hee proposed to.

It's you, isn't it?

MIRAE HEIR TURNED DOWN

AT THE SPEED OF LIGH

Calm down and put your sword down first.

Is she a complete nutjob or what?

DO-HEE THE NUTJOB

And she has great timing.

I need to see you right now!

Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?

You think you're famous or something?

I am.

You made me an instant celebrity.

How could I not wear them?

They blurred the wrong face.

My face would have gotten them more--

So why did you turn me down

at the speed of light?

You were probably intimidated by my status

and didn't want to look like a snob

by saying yes right away.

I understand all that because I'm chill.

Still,

I'd appreciate an explanation.

Like I said, I plan on staying single.

Same here.

Good, so let's forget

that anything happened.

Thanks for offering to forget

something so embarrassing for me,

but the whole world

already knows about it.

Why me, though?

Why did you choose me

out of all those people there?

That's…

Don't tell me what I've heard is true.

Like in that movie…

-What do you mean?

-I heard

humans tend to be more sincere in sleep.

I wasn't being serious!

Then why should I play along

with your inexplicable whims?

Find another person

who will marry you, no questions asked.

Don't worry.

Even if you were the last guy on Earth,

I would never, ever marry you.

That's a relief.

Did he just turn me down again?

He turned me down twice in a day?

-I'll give you a lift.

-Forget it!

What if there's another acid attack?

Start the car.

I blame it all on your name.

First, at the sea,

and then today.

"Salvation."

It's just too sweet.

I thought you had to be asleep

to be sincere.

It's because it's fake.

Fake things are always sweeter.

Salvation,

love, happiness, and whatnot.

Sweet things are bad for you.

Do you know what's the worst of all?

Happiness.

Humans end up unhappy

because they try to be happy.

That's why I don't try to be happy.

If happiness isn't your goal in life,

why do you work so hard?

Just out of habit.

After my parents passed,

it felt as if I'd get swallowed up

if I didn't work hard.

By things like sadness, guilt, self-pity,

and so on.

And before I knew it,

it became a habit.

What the hell? Damn it!

How pathetic.

TO DO-HEE

What happened?

You were snoring so loudly.

Me?

We're here.

I must've been very tired.

I don't usually snore.

I don't want you to go out alone

and get in trouble,

so call me if you need me.

Though I'd rather you didn't.

GUARDIAN: SEOK-HOON

MANAGER: GU-WON THE SAVIOR

TO DO-HEE

Dear Do-hee.

Madam Ju.

If you're reading this,

it would mean

that I left you all alone once again.

I'm not so curious

about how my life will end.

But I just hope

that my death won't hurt you.

That…

you'll be able to shake it off

as if it were a mischievous prank.

So Do-hee,

crying once is enough.

The position I'm leaving you with

is a b*ttlefield

where tears aren't allowed.

FAMILY CONSENT FORM

WE GIVE OUR CONSENT TO THE AUTOPSY

I failed.

People may think I'm successful,

but I'm surrounded

by rotten people who remind me

that I've utterly failed.

You must be wondering

why I required you to marry

in order to become chairwoman.

This position

is incredibly lonely.

I've felt it to my core,

being on my own all this time.

Without you,

I would've drowned

in the hell that is loneliness.

I couldn't have you experience

the same hell I went through.

So…

if you're determined to take my place,

be sure to find someone

who will keep you company

and be on your side.

THE LATE JU CHEON-SUK

If you fail to find such a person,

just throw this position to the wolves

and save yourself.

This is the only thing I can do

as I leave you behind

in the den of wolves.

I understand your intentions, Madam Ju.

But you trust me, don't you?

I can manage well on my own.

HERE LIES A LEGEND

CHOI DEOK-h*

We don't deserve to shed a single tear

until we've avenged our boss's death!

We will offer that b*stard's head

to our boss!

No matter what!

Sir, I got a lead

on that b*stard from the restaurant.

His name is Jeong Gu-won,

and I have his credit card number.

And take a look.

Only this part breaks up.

The employees were clueless,

so this wasn't their doing.

Who the hell is this prick?

Good morning, Young Master.

It's a beautiful day, Young Master Yi-sun.

Young Master!

Good morning, Director Jeong.

-Mr. Park.

-Yes?

My memories from when I was human

are starting to come back.

Yi-sun? You don't know the family name?

That's what everyone called me.

Shall I delve into the matter?

I could look into noblemen named Yi-sun

from the Joseon Dynasty.

I'm not sure if it'd do me any good

to know who I was when I was human.

I'm not even sure that's me.

What's there to lose?

Let me see. Kim Yi-sun? Park Yi-sun?

What could it be?

But why are your memories

suddenly coming back after 200 years?

-What?

-Without your powers,

you're practically nothing…

I mean, a human.

That must be why they're coming back.

You're a human now.

So? What about it?

It means that you're mortal,

just like everyone else.

Car accidents are a bigger risk

than spontaneous combustion.

Goodbye, eternal life. Hello, aging.

Aging?

You'll look like me in no time.

No!

That can't happen.

No way.

I don't believe it. My face…

Here… and here…

No.

My tattoo.

I need my tattoo back.

Let's go.

CHAIRWOMAN JU DIES OF A HEART ATTACK

FAMILY BIDS TEARFUL FAREWELL

Give me your wrist. Quickly.

Weren't you going to do something?

-No.

-Then why are you holding my wrist?

How should I put it?

It gives me peace of mind.

Let's stay like this from now on.

I can't do that.

I have a public face to uphold.

You turned me down at the speed of light

not once but twice in a day.

If I let you hold me by the wrist,

what would people think of me?

That you're chill?

I'm not chill.

In fact, I care so much

that I'm practically boiling.

This is your chance to be chill.

You can be chill. I'll live the way I am.

This is for both of us.

Arthritis might stop me

from saving you in the future.

Arthritis?

I hate to admit it,

but I'm a mere human without my powers.

That means time isn't on my side anymore.

So?

I'm going to age just like all of you.

Are you saying

you want to keep holding my wrist

because you're afraid you'll age?

Yes, you get that now?

No.

What is it now?

You're treating me

like a wireless charger.

And you treat me like a Pokémon.

Demon, Pokémon. Same difference.

Whatever, you ignorant human.

Then I'll stop being your bodyguard.

Suit yourself.

If I die, your precious tattoo

will vanish with me.

Is that a threat?

You're the one who wants to quit.

Why can't you just charge me up?

I can't do it all the time.

Then when?

Good times.

Good times

are always excruciatingly short.

Goodness!

My treasure…

I'm so sorry.

I don't have any cash on me.

You don't?

No.

You can always wire me.

JESUS CORP.

DAEGUK BANK

MIRAE F&B

Good morning.

-Good morning.

-"Good morning"?

How can you say that

when our chairwoman passed away?

Let's face it.

You never even talked to her in person.

I think it's unnecessary

to pretend to be sad.

What's the point of making it big

and having connections

throughout the world?

Life is fleeting.

On that note,

how about a team dinner?

My reading said today's a bad day

for my social life.

How come every day

is a bad day for your social life?

Don't.

You're aging even as we speak.

Ms. Do is here. Smile.

Ms. Shin.

What happened to my actual date?

I mean the one I couldn't meet last time

because I was stuck with the wrong one.

Shall I arrange a meeting?

As soon as possible.

Yes, ma'am.

Also, I've secured the footage

you talked about.

What's this?

Madam Ju died from a drug allergy

on the day she ordered an audit team.

Since her medicine was in her bag,

the cameras must've caught someone

tampering with it.

It'll take forever

to go through all these.

Good luck.

Did you forget?

We're in the same boat.

Again, good luck.

Start with the most recent ones

so that we don't check

the same ones twice.

Am I a bodyguard or a private detective?

You're asking too much of me.

My eyes are burning.

This is too primitive.

Let's find another way.

Like what?

I could find the guy who was after you

with my powers.

-Is that possible?

-Of course.

-How come you never told me that?

-You never asked.

What have we been doing all this time?

Then we can also find out

who's behind him.

Problem solved.

-Let's go catch him right now.

-Okay.

Hold on a second.

Promise me one thing first.

What is it?

You won't need me

once we catch the culprit,

but I'll still need you.

It's obvious

how your attitude will change.

Don't be silly.

-You don't trust me?

-No.

Fine.

I'll help you get your tattoo back

even after we catch the culprit.

Are you happy now?

Hold on. Just a second.

What is it now?

-One more thing.

-There's more?

Let me charge regardless of where we are

and who's watching.

-That's too much.

-Forget it then.

Fine, I'll do that.

I'll let you charge whenever you want

once the culprit is caught. Happy now?

Keep your word.

I will, so hurry up

before I change my mind.

I'm already regretting it.

Hold on.

Bring us close to the culprit,

but not too close.

I may have to report it to--

Be quiet. You're distracting me.

What's going on?

What, you can't do it?

Give me a minute.

That's not right.

All that fuss for this?

What's going on? Why isn't it working?

Have you lost all your powers?

I haven't.

Then why?

Name anyone.

Someone I've met in person.

Mr. Han from the PR team?

The overzealous one? Got it.

Ms. Do, I've scheduled your date on…

I knew it. What was I expecting?

Gather up, guys.

Don't you think something's going on

between Ms. Do and Mr. Jeong?

What do you mean?

I bet the two of them are dating.

The way they interact

hints at physical intimacy.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Mr. Jeong turned down Ms. Do's proposal.

She wouldn't have proposed to him

if nothing was going on.

-You're right.

-I am.

What are you saying?

Workplace romance can be so exciting.

Have you done it yourself?

Of course.

You know what the best part is?

What is it?

Team dinners.

You're obsessed.

There's nothing like

secretly holding hands

under the table at team dinners.

There's something so enjoyable

about secret physical touch.

To workplace romance.

Cheers.

Even the slightest touch…

and momentary eye contact

can make sparks fly.

In my case,

we were holding hands for five hours.

You didn't even go to the restroom?

Don't be ridiculous.

-Should we…

-Should we…

What was that?

Is it a rat?

-A rat?

-Wait.

-Open the door.

-Open it.

-Me?

-Yes.

Come on.

-Open it!

-Here we go!

What's the point in finding Mr. Han?

There's something wrong

with the culprit, not me.

I clearly saw his face, so why…

-So it involves facial recognition?

-Yes.

Did he get plastic surgery?

Anyway, my powers aren't the problem,

so let me keep holding your wrist.

I said, "After we catch the culprit."

People already suspect

we're dating as it is.

ABRAXAS:

RELEASE THE HUNTING DOG

Why won't my powers work on that b*stard?

Do you want to go for drinks

after work, Mr. Jeong?

I'd like to throw you a welcome party.

Is there a team dinner?

Ms. Choi, isn't today a bad day

for your social life?

But it's a good day

for my dating life.

Gosh, what's with you?

A team dinner?

You still haven't found him?

No, sir.

I had my guys ask around, but…

Hire a private detective,

storm the card company, or something!

Find him!

-I'm sorry, sir!

-I'm sorry, sir!

You bozos.

Goodness, boss.

This is on the house.

Hey, the ice is melting.

Bring some new ice!

I'm sorry, sir.

THOSE WHO SEEK ME DILIGENTLY FIND ME

PROVERBS 8:17

JEONG GU-WON

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SUNWOL FOUNDATION

BODYGUARD OF DO DO-HEE, CEO OF MIRAE F&B…

You k*lled someone

on top of all your dirty tricks?

You'll have to pay

for what you've done.

I knew it.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

That wakes me up.

They already got to it.

You're not done yet?

I'm almost done.

SEOK-HOON

Hi, Seok-hoon.

I secured Mr. Cha's laptop

and took a look,

but it was way too clean.

It's already been wiped out.

I'm going through the CCTV footage,

and it's the same.

Why don't we have dinner together?

I'll come right over.

I didn't realize how late it was.

Sure, I should eat something anyway.

No, you already have plans.

I do?

Why is everyone so quiet?

Is Ms. Do making you uncomfortable?

If we'd known Ms. Do was coming,

we would've booked a nicer place.

This was supposed to be

a casual welcome party for Mr. Jeong.

For the first round,

let's casually go for somaek.

That's what I'm talking about.

Here we go.

My goodness!

He's more resourceful than he looks.

-For the star of the night.

-No, thanks. I'm still working.

But it's your welcome party.

Then let's all drink on his behalf

to welcome him to the company.

Bottoms up!

-Welcome to the company.

-Cheers.

This is going to be a fun night!

-Let me.

-Pour me one.

Here you go.

That's too much. Drink this.

It sure is a bad day for my social life.

My superstitions never betray me.

Ms. Choi, you prefer soju?

Let's drink. Bottoms up!

-Bottoms up!

-Bottoms up!

-Nice!

-Yes!

-This is nice.

-It is.

Let's drink some more.

-Cheers.

-Way to go!

-Should Ms. Do drink too?

-Let's go in order!

-Cheers.

-Let's go!

Ms. Choi's out.

Ms. Choi.

Use this as a pillow.

That's smart.

Ms. Do, your face has gone red.

You're even redder.

It's because I've been drinking.

Sure, of course.

Can I ask you something?

Why did you turn Ms. Do down?

Are we playing truth or dare?

Is she not your type?

Why don't we call it a day?

That's not it. I like her.

-Then why?

-Exactly. Why?

So why?

People who like pork

don't marry pigs, do they?

Am I that drunk?

It's already 8 p.m.

-We might miss the last bus.

-What?

I'll get going.

Bye. I think I'll have another…

-Let's just go.

-What?

-Ms. Choi.

-Ms. Choi, let's go.

-We're leaving.

-Excuse us.

It was supposed to be a good day

for my dating life.

-Let's go.

-Okay.

My gosh.

I can finally charge without…

I'm not in the mood.

But why?

What is it now?

I can't charge when we're around others

or when you're not in the mood.

Then when can I ever charge?

You're seriously…

Forget it.

I'm human.

I'm a person with emotions,

not just a charger for…

I'd rather age than put up with her.

Something might happen

if I leave her alone.

You're the trash from the other day.

Trash?

I don't know what tricks

you used last time, but--

Nice to see you, but I have to take this.

I'm not done.

Hey, good job.

I didn't see that coming. Nice.

You guys leave me no choice.

He has another newspaper.

All right.

DO-HEE THE NUTJOB

-Get him.

-Yes, sir.

The number you have dialed cannot be…

GU-WON THE SAVIOR

Where did he go?

GU-WON THE SAVIOR

Mother.

Did you even have the right

to criticize others' wrongs?

You b*stard.

I finally got you.

Hey.

Say hi…

to the boss for me.

Jeong Gu-won.

Do Do-hee.

What do you want?

I'm…

my bodyguard's bodyguard!

What is she saying?

Boys, take care of her.

Stay away.

Why is charging

always the problem for everything?

Stay away.

Is that a g*n?

Get her!

Jeong Gu-won!

Do you know

how to tango?

Tango?

-What's happening?

-Something's wrong.

This is strange, sir.

You must trust your partner

when you tango.

Why are you suddenly talking about tango?

Get it together!

Don't fall for his tricks.

What is this?

Get him!

Behind you!

Hey, give me that.

You morons,

why are you dancing all of a sudden?

Pull yourselves together!

What is this?!

"Rule number one for bodyguards."

"Never let her out of your sight."

"Rule number two."

"Never stray far from her."

"And rule number three."

"Never…

fall in love with her."



Something's wrong with me.

Falling for a worthless human being?

What's with the attitude?

Did I do something wrong?

I don't see why I should be nice to you.

I declare that CEO Noh Suk-min

has been elected acting chairman.

Do send me a wedding invitation.

I insist on being there as your family.

It doesn't matter who.

It's not a real marriage anyway.

Let's register our marriage today.

Are you really going to marry

that sleazebag?

Why are you so upset?

Pull yourself together

and tell me what your problem is.

You want to know what my problem is?
