LOVE YOUR ENEMY

THE CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS,

AND PLACES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

What a moron.

What a jerk.

He thinks he's so cool.

She's crazy.

Just three months?

And it ended like that?

What is the meaning of this?

What do you think you're playing at?

Let's go inside.

I just told you.

I'm moving into school housing.

Stop messing around and just go.

Why ever would you think this makes sense?

You tell me why it doesn't.

Tell me why he's allowed, but I'm not.

Well, Mr. Gong…

-Lives far away--

-So do I.

-And he comes here every day.

-So will I from now on.

And he doesn't have a car.

Whew, the driving has been k*lling me.

Now look here. You and I…

You and I…

What about you and I?

We dated briefly 18 years ago

for just 3 months.

And it ended like that.

-No?

-Sorry?

So, unless you still have

feelings for me--

Do you think I'm crazy?

Exactly. Unless you're crazy,

please move out of the way.

So this school employee, who lives

far away, can enter the school housing.

Just move.

He seriously must be out of his mind.

I'm sorry to impose.

Technically, this place is yours

as much as ours.

Grandpa!

Shall I take the room on the second floor?

Sure.

But we only knew about Munsu coming,

so we only cleared one room.

Then I guess it goes to

whoever calls dibs.

The other person gets what's left.

Huh? You can't do that!

That's so childish.

Move out of the way.

I have the power!

After all that, he still lost to Munsu?

Munsu is as fast as lightning.

That's not the issue right now.

Are you really okay with him living here?

All that nonsense about

"This place is yours as much as ours."

Were you trying to remind him?

Do you really not know why he's moving in?

Well… It has nothing to do with me!

It's because of me.

Huh?

He's in charge of the golf course.

And going forward, he'll have more

to do down here than up in Seoul.

He's probably using this as an excuse

to keep an eye on me.

Right? That's probably it, right?

Keep your friends close

and your enemies closer.

So, just do your best to welcome him.

What are you staring at so intently?

This car is so cool.

My son chose it for me.

It might be old,

but it still runs like a charm.

Although it was better in its heyday.

-Splish! Splash!

-Hey!

You're dead meat!

That's not fair! No hose!

That's not fair!

-That's really not fair!

-Stop it!

No! Oh, come on!

Stop it!

Hey!

Munsu!

It's not fair! You have a hose!

I'm going to k*ll you!

That's not fair.

Stop it.

Let's see who wins.

Wait a minute.

You started it.

All I did was splash you with my hand.

I'm sorry.

There you go.

Shall I fetch you a sweat suit?

It's the official uniform for this house.

Yes, please.

Okay, let's go in.

What shall we make for dinner?

How about bossam?

Oh, with geotjeori? And makgeolli?

-Great!

-Great!

Then I'll pop to the supermarket.

I'll just get changed,

and then I'll dash off.

You don't know the way. I'll go.

I can use a map.

Let's decide fairly

with rock, paper, scissors.

Loser goes to the supermarket.

Winners start preparing dinner, okay?

Good.

Right, here we go.

Rock, paper…

-Scissors!

-Scissors!

Oh no, we've lost.

Ms. Yun and me.

What a shame.

Dear me.

Hello.

-Off somewhere?

-To the supermarket.

Okay.

I told you I'd go by myself.

I'm just following the rules.

When did you ever worry about that?

Huh? What did you just say?

What do you think?

Take it easy, don't sweat the small stuff.

Stop fussing over the details.

Leave well enough alone.

Aren't those the words you lived by?

Moreover, you mocked people

who live by the rules.

Oh, that?

You can't do this. You can't do that.

That's not possible. No means no.

Working with someone who's a stickler

for the rules and challenges everything

put me through the wringer.

-So, you're blaming me?

-I didn't specify who.

-What now?

-I guess people never really change.

You used to make fun of people

all the time.

So you constantly

got the crap beaten out of you.

And you'd come running to me in tears.

Remember?

I didn't get the crap beaten out of me…

Wow, she never lets me finish.

Let's get things straight.

I wasn't beaten up, I was in a fight.

But you can't deny you ended up in tears.

From yawning.

Besides, that was back in grade school.

What? It was in May

of our first year of middle school.

After you got a bloody nose

playing soccer with Kang Dongju.

You bawled your eyes out

all the way back to the classroom.

You do pick

the strangest things to remember.

You always spend ages agonizing,

only to get the almond ones.

Huh? I can't believe you still do that.

Why can't you be more careful?

Ta-da!

Wow, Munsu.

Did you do all this by yourself?

Just a little something

to celebrate moving in.

After saying we'd do it together.

He wouldn't even let me in the kitchen.

I was fine by myself.

Dig in, everyone.

Mr. Chairman,

do you like soybean paste stew?

Brace yourself and dig in.

It's really tasty.

Thank you.

I must admit I do prefer kimchi stew.

How is it? Isn't it delicious?

Yes, well, I guess it's not too bad.

-Dig in, Grandpa.

-Eat up.

You'll wear out the bottom of the bowl.

Kimchi stew will be getting jealous.

Thanks for dinner.

You're welcome.

So, when it comes to dating,

you're not fussed

about how old your partner is?

Of course not.

Even someone seven years older than you?

Oh, that's perfect.

Really? That's great.

Will you give it a rest?

Perfect? Who's he trying to kid?

What's wrong with that?

I mean, would you like a kid

seven years younger than you?

He's not a kid, he's a fully-grown adult.

And what's wrong with dating someone

seven years younger?

I'm fine with a seven-year age gap

up or down.

Anything is fine

except someone my own age.

All that fuss about me being childish.

Who does she think she is?

Who's "she"?

No one, I'm just talking to myself.

-They're not too tense.

-Really?

That feels nice.

-Isn't that relaxing?

-Right there, just a bit lower.

-Here?

-Yes, just a bit lower.

That's it.

-Doesn't that feel nice?

-Yes. Just a bit lower.

-Here?

-Yes, right there.

That feels great.

It's a bit worn down.

Of course it is.

This house is more than 60 years old…

Okay.

What was that? What's going on?

I think he's trying to earn his keep.

There we go.

I think that should do it.

-Would you try turning the light on?

-Okay.

Wow, there's nothing you can't do.

-It's nothing.

-Thank you.

It's nice to be able to see again.

Oh, Munsu, would you mind

clearing this up?

You startled me.

A saw?

What's wrong with you?

Why make kimchi out of the blue like that?

You'll end up with housewife's eczema

at this rate.

Well, you see…

You know how things are.

MEDICATED BANDAGE

Damn it.

Geez.

What's up with him?

What's this?

Will you stick that here?

I've spent 20 minutes

and wasted 10 bandages.

Here.

Dear me. Why do all that stuff

that nobody asked you to do?

If you don't know, don't say anything.

Please just stick it on.

-Here?

-A little bit higher.

-Here?

-No, a bit to the right.

Damn it. Where are you talking about?

Just a bit higher.

Yes, that's it.

-Yes.

-Right here?

What do you think you're doing?

In the future, just ask me.

After all, I'm right next door.

Get well soon!

-Unbelievable!

-He's crazy.

So you're saying

they've both moved in with you?

Seok Jiwon really is crazy.

-Out of his mind.

-What is he thinking?

He's not.

Is your grandfather okay with it?

What about you?

I'm sure he hates it.

But if you want to split hairs,

the house is his.

Where are you going?

I'm going to go home and pack.

You've room for one more, right?

There are no empty rooms.

None?

That's even better.

Today?

YANGSO ACADEMY AUDIT REPOR

2020-23

Excuse me, may I ask why you want to see

the foundation's financial statements?

Since I'm in charge,

I thought I should know the full history,

not just the overall situation.

How, when, and why things got so bad

that selling the foundation

was the only option.

I see.

Are you really staying

in the school housing?

Yes, I think I will have

a lot to take care of here.

If you'd mentioned something, I would have

found you somewhere nice to live.

The staff housing is sufficient.

-Still, if your father finds out--

-It can't be helped.

It seems like you have

a special relationship with my father.

You seem to care a lot

about what he thinks.

Not at all. That's just my job.

Still…

Whose side are you on?

-Sorry?

-Regarding the golf course.

It looks like the townspeople

are fairly evenly split.

Oh, the golf course?

Well, I'm just…

Notwithstanding your relationship

with my father or the previous chairman,

I'm curious where you stand

as a resident of this town.

This is my hometown.

I'd hate to see Mt. Dokmok being ruined.

That's why those who oppose

the development do so.

After all, it is an ecologically

important mountain.

However, since you're promising

to preserve as much as possible…

Is that what my father said?

I'd better go and see for myself.

Even though I grew up around here,

apart from a few picnics when I was young,

I've never paid much attention.

Sure.

When you decide to go,

be sure to let me know.

The path up Mt. Dokmok is pretty safe.

But once you get up there,

it gets steep all of a sudden,

and there are cliffs,

so it can be dangerous.

Okay.

Let's watch what we're doing, okay?

I only took the file

from the kitchen by mistake

because you took the file

I left on the coffee table.

Why did you buy the same color folder?

I bought this a year ago.

I bought mine three years ago.

It's so old.

It's about time you changed it.

You've got an answer for everything.

I can't help having a way with words.

Not just words.

I'm good at just about everything.

You really are shameless.

What's for dinner?

Do you think it's a bed and breakfast?

Sort yourself out.

Tell that guy whose only use is cooking,

to whip up some soybean paste stew.

They're at it again.

He's smiling?

I cannot believe it.

Why am I smiling?

Pull yourself together.

I must be going crazy.

Jihye, I'm off to class.

What do you think?

Can we get the support together?

I'm doing my best to contact people.

Seeing how his son moved

into the school housing,

it seems like things are about

to start moving with the golf course.

We need to get as many people as possible

to start making some noise

so they'll at least make

a pretense of flinching.

I will keep trying

to get people's support.

You do as much as you can

to get people to turn out tomorrow.

-I will, Father.

-Okay.

Dear me.

I can…

Oh, found it.

I thought I might have left a book here,

and here it is.

MT. DOKMOK WHITE PAPER

I wrote it myself.

This mountain

that your father's lust for revenge

is driving him to destroy,

see what's so special about it.

If you look at page 67,

you can see information

about the habitat

of the endangered cymbidium orchid.

That's the highlight.

Even if we try and transplant them

elsewhere, they're almost certain to die.

Don't stand there gazing out the window.

Take your time to read through it.

I certainly will.

Okay.

I'll see you at home then.

MT. DOKMOK WHITE PAPER

-Ms. Yun.

-Yes?

-Are you heading home?

-Yes.

-What shall we have for dinner?

-What indeed?

How about my stew?

Great.

So, those three are living together?

Along with the former chairman.

I mean it is school housing, so why not?

No.

Whichever you look at it…

That's love. A hopeless love triangle.

But the chairman and Jiwon

are not in that kind of situation.

The more happenstance and reality contrive

to interfere, the more love blooms.

But if Mr. Gong sees Ms. Yun

as a mentor and foll--

Follows her until admiration

becomes adulation, then all hope is lost.

A dopamine rush.

Hey, you little brat.

How dare you butt in

when teachers are speaking of love?

I mean we were talking…

-What rushes where?

-Dopamine.

Stop being nosy. Get out of here.

Go.

What on earth…

Honestly…

I hope you're not making

the stock from scratch.

Quit whining, it's almost ready.

He should stick to what he knows.

Why is he suddenly doing the cooking?

He claims he's good at everything.

-Wow.

-Oh, Mr. Chairman.

Looks great.

It's sweet.

Literally sweet.

Dude, the stew is sweet.

Huh? That's not possible.

I followed the recipe to the letter.

Did you put any sugar in?

"If you're using sour kimchi,

add a spoonful of sugar

to neutralize the sourness."

Which spoon did you use?

Right, who wants a burger?

He's really stubborn.

He takes after his father in that respect.

You've got some on your mouth.

-Here?

-Just a moment.

-There we go.

-Thank you.

Ow, that's hot!

So, what shall we have

for dinner tomorrow?

A catastrophe-free stew from Munsu?

I'll be eating out tomorrow.

Why?

A few of us are getting together

to discuss a plan to take on

an evil corporation that is intent on

destroying the environment.

Shall I go with you?

We're meeting during the day.

I suppose you could join us for dinner.

I quite enjoyed having a burger

for the first time in ages.

Thanks to the chairman.

Thank you very much.

Eat this, Munsu.

Ordering burgers in was the right idea.

Do you want another burger?

Or maybe a pizza?

-Something else.

-Okay.

YANGSO TOWN HALL

Father.

Isn't anyone coming?

I don't think this is going to work.

People think the development

is going to increase property prices.

Even those who were against it are now--

-They're saying, "What mountain?"

-Right.

That's understandable.

Most of them don't know the full detail,

so they're getting swept up in the fervor.

So, we'll just have to keep informing

and persuading them.

How about approaching citizens' groups?

-Right, bottoms up!

-Bottoms up!

Now then,

I asked a special favor of Mr. Kim.

This beef came all the way from Sangju.

So eat until

you have to let your belt out a notch.

-Okay!

-Okay!

Right, let's drink.

You've got to give us the chance

to refill our glasses.

What's the rush?

When it comes to work,

I believe speed equals success.

I see.

Asking questions just leads to headaches.

I'm saying that, as the experts,

we will take of everything.

So, just put your trust in me,

and concentrate on drinking.

Right then. For Yangso!

-For Yangso!

-For Yangso!

If you don't go to them, it seems like

he'll bring them here to you.

It seems like they're eager to meet you.

Has he been drinking?

Yes, well, quite a lot.

All right. For Yangso!

-For Yangso!

-For Yangso!

Dig in!

You too.

Dear me,

I must have forgotten to invite you.

But you made it anyway.

Please take a seat

and let me pour you a drink.

Over here.

Where are they eating?

Hello?

My grandfather isn't answering his phone.

Sorry? So where is he right now?

I never expected anything less

from that thing.

But the rest of you should be ashamed.

You all know

what that mountain means to us.

It's just a mountain.

What's so special about it?

He's so oblivious.

Did he think if he called them,

everyone would just come running?

Like in the past?

He's been a toothless tiger for years now.

Right?

Oh, you're still here.

I thought you'd left.

Grandpa.

Let's get out of here.

Hello.

Oh, it's you. The gym teacher.

When you were young, you used to strut

around town like you owned the place.

And you ended up becoming a teacher?

Hey, Seok Gyeongtae!

Aren't you even going to say hello to me?

I own your school.

-How arrogant can--

-You b*stard!

Grandpa!

-You come here!

-Let go of me!

It's okay, I'm done.

-Try to control yourself.

-Get over here.

You scum!

Mr. Chairman.

Get over here!

You little b*stard! Get over here!

-You b*stard!

-Don't try and stop me.

Come here, you jerk!

-Move out of the way.

-Mr. Chairman.

Come here, you b*stard.

Calm down.

Come here!

Let's talk.

Why bring me all the way down here?

How did your father know exactly

when and where to come?

Are you trying to say that I told him?

-Well, didn't you?

-No, I didn't.

Then forget it.

I understand why you're upset.

Oh, you understand, do you?

Then couldn't you have used

that understanding to leave us alone?

We're completely ruined,

just as your father wanted.

My grandfather lost the school,

and he has no power at all.

It seems like your father

was mocking him for that.

What more does he want?

Does he really have to flatten

that mountain and destroy my grandfather

to feel vindicated?

Probably. I think he will pursue it

to the bitter end.

And you'll help him no matter what?

Now look here, I'm a businessman.

If the company needs a golf course,

and building it will generate a profit,

as long as no laws are broken,

what reason could there be not to do it?

Whether out of petty revenge or whatever.

It's so simple and easy.

That's how the world is.

Simple and easy. Just like how

my family collapsed 18 years ago.

Back then, my grandpa--

He may not have intended for it to happen

and may not have had a choice,

but for those of us it affected, life was

so hard that death might have been better.

That's why,

even after so much time has passed,

even though he has fought his way

all the way back,

he still can't cast aside

his sordid desire for revenge.

Let's head back.

I think we've both made ourselves clear.

I have no intention

of giving you what you want.

Are you sure you're talking about

your father and my grandfather right now?

Of course. Would I be talking about you

and me when we lasted only three months

and ended just like that?

You keep harping on about three months

while glaring at me through slitted eyes.

What's it to you whether I glare at you,

glower at you, or gawk at you?

You'd better take him to the hospital

in the morning.

I think he sprained his ankle

in the struggle earlier.

Don't concern yourself with it.

I'll do what I see fit.

Damn it.

Damn it, just damn it.

Me? Why should I move out?

You said you feel awkward.

And you don't?

It's bad enough that I think I might be

better off living on the streets.

Just as you wish,

you can move out and live on the streets.

So you can get your way? No thanks.

Fine, but let's avoid

being in the same room.

And even if we are,

let's pretend we're not.

I won't even talk to you,

so do me the same courtesy.

Easy does it.

What are you doing not going home?

What do you think? Watching you sleep.

You must be lonely

with your family in the States.

For sure.

Don't say anything

about me being here like this.

I don't like you suffering because of me.

It can't be easy paying those school fees.

If it weren't for me, you could have moved

somewhere that pays more.

When you say things like that,

it makes me want to…

Want to what?

I'll move in here too.

There aren't any empty rooms.

You know what this place is these days?

A hotspot.

It's a hotspot.

Damn it.

What the heck?

I'm so cold.

Why isn't it working?

Dear me.

Why is it only broken in that one room?

I've called someone,

but they say it'll take a couple of days.

It's fine.

He'll be fine. He won't freeze to death.

Although I'd be thankful if he did.

Come and have some breakfast.

I'll eat when he's done.

Would you mind asking when he's leaving?

Mr. Chairman,

have you eaten your fill?

No, I'll be here quite a bit longer.

Tell her I'll be enjoying a leisurely

morning and am in no rush to get to work.

I don't think he's ever leaving.

I'm the one who was fighting,

so what's up between you two?

So, was it a bad fight?

It started because I was angry

about what happened to my grandpa.

But we ended up shouting insults because

we couldn't stand the sight of each other.

Seok Jiwon is a funny guy too.

He must have called his father there

at that time on purpose.

He says he didn't.

He would say that.

But if it wasn't him,

how did his father know?

Even though he's childish, stupid,

selfish, and rude,

he's not a liar. That I'm sure of.

How can you be so sure?

You hadn't seen him in so long.

Don't weaken your resolve.

Think of your grandfather.

Has something good happened to you?

Huh? Why?

You look strangely animated.

Yesterday, you looked like someone died.

No, nothing like that.

Let's grab a beer after work.

A beer?

Yes, you're upset.

Can we drink at your place?

At my house? All of a sudden?

Yes, I'll buy beer and snacks.

What's with you?

Why are you being so considerate?

So, it's a date? That's okay, right?

Okay.

-Okay, I'll see you later then.

-See you later.

HABITAT OF THE CYMBIDIUM ORCHID

Hey, is your grandfather resting?

Yeah.

I said we should eat out,

but Jihye was insistent.

It's fine.

-Give it here.

-Thank you.

The snacks are here.

-Come and sit down.

-Okay.

Honestly,

I speak from the heart when I say

the two of you look great together.

Will you give it a rest?

Never mind you.

What do you think about Jiwon?

Be honest.

Sorry? Well…

Time for you to go home.

-Why?

-Get up.

Let go of me.

I'm just curious. Let's hear what he says.

Wait a moment.

He can't answer,

and his face is getting red.

He likes you for sure.

He likes you. He definitely likes you.

-Hey, Cha Jihye.

-You like her, don't you?

Hey, you've had enough.

Seok Jiwon.

Did you hear that?

Gong Munsu likes Ji…

Hey, this way.

Geez, pull yourself together.

Damn it.

Hey!

Don't puke.

Hey, wake up.

Jihye, pull yourself together.

My bag.

You like her, right?

-Hey, Cha Jihye.

-You like her, don't you?

Hey, you've had enough.

What were they thinking?

Oh, water.

-Jiwon.

-Yes?

Jiwon.

What?

I need to get home,

but I can't find my bag.

It's late. Just stay here for tonight.

I need to go home. If I stay out

all night, I'll get in trouble.

It's probably in the upstairs living room.

What the heck?

What is this?

It's a ladder.

Is it an attic?

Hello?

What the heck?

You startled me.

Seok Jiwon?

-I just--

-What are you looking at? Hey!

What's going on?

It's okay. Only his pants came down.

I saw.

He's not going to eat.

It looks like he's suffered quite a shock.

I don't blame him.

For sure.

TO SEOK JIWON

YOU HAVE ONE NEW MESSAGE

JIWON, IT'S ME

CALL ME AT THIS NUMBER

BLOCK CALLER

It's been over ten years…

What was he doing rummaging through

someone else's attic?

Did he see it? Would he have seen it?

What? What is it?

Why have you been holding on to this?

I didn't keep it,

I just forgot to throw it away.

You kept it in a special box.

Yes, I was going to burn everything

in one go.

But I realized it wasn't worth it

and just chucked it up in the attic.

So, it means nothing?

See? Okay?

Sir, I…

MT. DOKMOK WHITE PAPER

Father.

Your father gets punched like that,

and you don't visit or even call him?

Please, sit down.

Are you okay?

What do you think?

That old geezer is surprisingly strong.

He got two good hits in.

Well, why did you do something so petty?

Never you mind.

You be sure to tell that geezer…

-Tell him what?

-That if he doesn't apologize to me,

I will demolish that run-down old house

he lives in before anything else.

Father.

I was going to just roll up

on an excavator,

but you know how soft-hearted I am,

so tell him I'm going to give him

one last chance.

Father, are you really going to do this?

I really am.

You know I'm a man of my word.

-Please.

-Right.

Thank you.

He's so annoying.

I feel cold running out here.

Even though it's spring,

the nights are still cold.

Shall we stop?

Is your ankle hurting?

I told you it's fine.

Stop making such a fuss

about a little slip.

Let's do two more laps.

Okay, take it easy.

He's practically living in his office.

Is he eating properly?

Let's at least give him

an electric blanket.

Where did I put that spare one?

I don't know.

-We don't have one. Just leave it.

-Hey…

Dear me.

With a fever like that,

you should visit the hospital

rather than come here.

With the fever on top of the aches,

you're in for a rough night.

Okay.

I'm sure we had an electric blanket

somewhere around here.

That's strange.

Mr. Chairman.

If you're sick,

you should go to the hospital.

Why are you so foolish?

We don't even have any fever medicine.

I'm crazy. What's so special about him?

Shall I go down?

What a pain in the neck.

He's fine now.

Jiwon.

What?

It's really you.

LOVE YOUR ENEMY

Crazy b*stard. Why is he doing this to me?

I hate you so much.

I feel the same about you.

We've been friends for more than 20 years.

But she still doesn't know me.

It looks like you just missed the bus.

Get in.

How long will you be?

We can go back together.

Trust you, listen to you, respect you,

and is it okay to like you?

As per the bet, if the lilac blooms,

I will date you.

Why do you want to date me?

So I can toss you aside.

Mercilessly.
