01x09 - I'm Rooting for You Two

[bunniefuu]

[low suspenseful music playing]

[Yuko] Thank you for waiting.

[a-chan] They've decided.

We will now...

announce the results.

[Maria] It's going to be
Nozomi and someone else.

[Haruna] Yeah.

The leading roles go to...

-[suspenseful music continues playing]
-[heartbeat]

Nozomi and Dong Kyu.

-[surprised exclaims]
-They went with Dong Kyu!

Dong Kyu!

I can't believe it!

That's who they chose?

-Oh, this is gonna get complicated.
-[Maria] Interesting.

[a-chan] Wow.

[Shusuke] They went that way.

[cast applauding]

[soft music playing]

[Hayato] What'll happen now?

[a-chan] I wonder.

It was unanimous. All three of us agreed
that Nozomi did very well.

-Thank you.
-[Yuko] Keep up the good work.

I'll do my best.

There was a big difference
between your emotions

when you acted with Won Shik

then when you're acting with Dong Kyu.

But among the female actors,

your emotional commitment
really stood out.

You seem very connected to the material
and you made it your own.

You were very good. Congratulations.

We debated over
whether Dong Kyu or Won Shik

would suit you better
as an acting partner.

Dong Kyu wasn't afraid to show
an abundance of love

when he acted with Rio,

and with you, he displayed
a sense of uncertainty,

as if saying to himself,
"Is it okay for me to feel this way?"

We thought it would make for great drama

if he were able to access
both of those sides of himself on set.

That struggle
is where the true drama lies.

And that's why we chose
the pairing with Dong Kyu.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-[Hayato] I see.
-[a-chan] That makes sense.

It's not that Won Shik acted badly.

I think overall, you lacked confidence

and you had a hard time
connecting your emotions to the moment.

But just so you know,

that's a common problem every actor faces.

As for you, Dong Kyu,

I know this might be difficult
for you emotionally,

but right now, you must somehow

put your feelings for Rio aside.

To make this episode great,

you need to develop
a strong attachment to Nozomi.

You should both be there for each other

in order for this episode to work.

Okay.

[Haruna] It's amazing
how he sees right through everything.

-[Hayato] It really is.
-[a-chan] Yeah.

[Yuko] So that concludes the auditions.

Good work, everyone.

-[cast thanking in Japanese]
-[judges applauding]

[in English]
I guess my wish... finally came true.

-[a-chan] Congratulations, Nozomi.
-[Hayato] She did great.

I think I succeeded because I used

all the feelings
I have inside of me right now.

Dong Kyu and I have worked together
a bunch of times already,

so... I think the best thing to do would be

to just rely on our own unique
and personal chemistry together.

And you know, if it leads to
something else, I would be happy.

But for now,
I'll try not to think about that

and... just focus on the acting.

-[Maria] That's a good mindset.
-[Hayato] Yeah, it is.

[gentle music playing]

[Dong Kyu]
I feel kind of conflicted about this.

QUESTION

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THE JUDGE'S COMMENT?

It was awkward.

He revealed my feelings.

Which means my emotions were obvious

to someone observing from the outside.

I was focused on my acting,

but my real feelings came to the surface.

As the judge said,

I need to put my feelings for Rio
aside for now.

I need to get on
the same wavelength as Nozomi

so we can sh**t a great episode together.

[Haruna] Good luck with that.

[sighs]

[groans]

[somber music playing]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[Rio] I didn't try hard enough.

If I was a judge,

I would have made the same decision.

But now, I've kind of
lost my confidence in acting.

[sad chuckle]

[studio cast groaning sympathetically]

But I guess if you don't have
any romantic feelings for your partner,

it's easier to make suggestions
on how to make things better

or propose different ideas
and ways of thinking about the scene.

I've talked a lot about this
with the others

and we've all managed to improve
our acting skills because of it.

I think it was probably my fault
that we lost.

[chuckles]
Maybe.

I also think it was the best decision
for Nozomi to win this time.

I was very...

I was very happy for her.

But Dong Kyu...

I felt his acting was different

when he acted with me

compared to when he was acting
with Nozomi.

There was a huge difference
between his two performances.

And I'm sure Nozomi felt it too.

[emotional music playing]

But even then...

Even then... Nozomi still...

I don't know...
[sniffles]

[voice breaking]
Was able to focus on her acting.

And I... I...

I just want the two of them
to create something beautiful together.

I really do.

Hmm.

[somber music playing]

[breathing deeply]

[Honoka] It's okay.

Hey.

-You did well.
-[sniffles]

It's okay.

It's okay.

[puffs]

I'm sorry.

[Honoka] No.

[sniffles]

[door closes]

[Won Shik sobbing]

[Won Shik thumps on wall]

[sobbing continues]

[water running]

[somber music playing]

[Honoka]
I feel like there's a wall between us.

[sighs, sniffles]

[voice breaking]
I don't know...

[breathes deeply, sniffles]

Won Shik is sad and I don't know
how to make him feel better.

And I'm not sure...

if I'm the one...

he wants to listen to or...

if he even wants to have me around
so I can help him work his sadness out.

I just don't know what to do.

[sniffles]

[somber music continues playing]

[Won Shik] It's not
that I'm disappointed with the result.

I'm disappointed with myself.

[Ji Hyuk]
I understand where you're coming from.

[Won Shik] Honoka failed because of me.

I'm happy
that Nozomi got the leading role.

But Honoka did her best
and deserves a shot.

What should I do?

[Ji Hyuk] You know it's no use
beating yourself up about it, right?

It'll be okay. Don't worry.

I know it was my fault
things ended up this way.

I take full responsibility.

I thought I had at least
a 1 percent chance.

But not even 1 percent of me
exists in Nozomi's heart.

will be able to act together,

Yeah. It feels like
the timing is all off at the moment.

-[Haruna] Yes.
-But since there is no going back now,

I think they'll both make the best
out of a difficult situation.

Yeah.

They're both professionals.

DRAMA EPISODE 5

[narrator] Episode 5,
"Time Machine Lover."

[boys chanting]
Nozomi! Go out with me!

[narrator]
Nozomi is the most popular girl in school.

Dong Kyu falls in love
with her at first sight

and struggles to win her love
by any means necessary.

This is a romantic comedy
of a man jumping through time for love.

-[sizzling]
-What is up with all this smoke?

I told you
we should've gone for the chicken.

It's not like you to treat us to meat.
What gives?

This guy is on cloud nine right now.

[Hae Song] He's in love with a girl.
He's telling her tomorrow.

[Dong Been] Really? Who is she?

Nozomi.

Nozomi?

The exchange student from Japan?

Well, congratulations. Good for you.

Congratulations.
[chuckles]

Was there a fire in the kitchen, or what?

[Hae Song] Will you cut it out already?

[Dong Kyu]
I met her exactly one month ago.

It was my first day back in college
after I finished my military service.

Good morning. Welcome, everyone.

Before we begin our first class,

there is someone
I want to introduce to you all.

This is Nozomi, who will be studying
with us starting today.

[professor] Please join us, Nozomi.

-[professor clears throat]
-[soft chuckle]

NOZOMI

Nice to meet you all.

My name is Nozomi. I'm from Japan.

[Nozomi] I look forward
to studying together with you.

Oh, and I really love
going out for drinks,

so why don't we hit the town tonight?

I'm buying!

TIME MACHINE LOVER

What's wrong, Hae Song?

Did something happen?

[shouts]
Leave me alone! I'm going home.

What's wrong with him?

[Hae Song screaming]

Oh, he must have received
his test results.

[sighs]
I'm always telling him to study.

[cheeky music playing]

-Nozomi.
-Hmm?

I noticed you on the first day.

-Will you go out with me?
-[soft chuckle]

-I like you.
-[soft chuckle]

[whispers]
You backstabber.

[light guitar music playing]

[exhales deeply]

Screw you, Dong Been.

I thought you had my back.
You're not my friend.

[gulps, exhales sharply]

[bottles clink, clattering]

[mysterious sting]

[alarm clock ringing]

What is this?

[phone buzzing]

[Dong Been] You said you were treating us
to dinner. Why aren't you here?

What are you on about?
Why would I do that?

[Dong Been] Don't play dumb with me.

You even said you'd buy us meat.
Get over here already.

[Dong Kyu] Oh? These are the clothes
I wore yesterday.

What's happening?

-[mysterious sting]
-[sighs]

Did I drink too much last night?

[groans]

Ow.

I'm awake.

[mysterious music playing]

[Dong Been] I told you
we should've gone for the chicken.

It's not like you to treat us to meat.
What's going on?

Well, he's in love with a girl.
He's gonna tell her tomorrow.

Really? Who is she?

Nozomi.

Nozomi? The exchange student from Japan?

[Dong Been]
I noticed you on the first day.

I like you.

Well, congratulations.

[Dong Been] Good for you.

-[sizzling]
-[cheeky music playing]

Thank you, Dong Been.

It means a lot
to have my best friend's support.

To show my appreciation,

come to my apartment tonight.

I've got a present for ya.

Okay.

That sounds good.

[sighs]

[birds chirping]

[groans]

-[rustling]
-[groaning]

-[cheery music playing]
-What the hell?

Hey, what is this? This is crazy!

What? What?
[groans]

I can't move.

Somebody, help!

[Dong Kyu] I won't let anything
stand in my way.

Here I come, Nozomi.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Hae Song] Nozomi.

From the moment I first met you,

-my heart has been pounding in my chest.
-[soft chuckle]

Please, go out with me?

[shouts]
I love you!

[soft chuckle]

[whispers]
And this guy too? Why?

Is this what happened that time?

What's wrong, Hae Song?

Did something happen?

[shouts]
Leave me alone! I'm going home.

[Hae Song screaming]

[sighs]
It doesn't seem like I can trust anyone.

Not to worry.

I think this thing will come in
very handy.

[cheery music playing]

[music dropping]

[boys chanting]
Nozomi! Go out with me!

Nozomi! Please date me!

Nozomi! Go out with me!
Nozomi! Please date me!

Nozomi! Go out with me!
Nozomi! Please date me!

All right, all right, stop!

I hear you. I'll make a decision.

[light suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

[somber music playing]

She wouldn't have picked me anyway.

[somber music continues playing]

[refreshed exhale]

Excuse me. One more soju, please!

And one more glass.

Oh, this looks delicious.

Can I have a taste?

If you want to.

So Nozomi, what are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be
on a date or something right now?

[Nozomi chuckles softly]

Isn't a date something
you go on with your boyfriend?

By the way,

are you seeing anyone, Dong Kyu?

If not,

let's go on a date together.

[gentle music playing]

Are you saying...?

[chuckles]

Mm-hmm.

Dong Kyu, don't look so surprised.

I had a crush on you
the first day I came to this school.

[Nozomi] But you never asked me out.

So, what do you think?

-[Dong Kyu] Thank you.
-[chuckles]

[uplifting music playing]

[Nozomi giggles]

[Dong Kyu chuckles softly]

-Nozomi.
-Hmm?

Can I have a candy?

No, sorry. I only have this one.

Not much I can do then.

[uplifting music continues playing]

Hey, who said you could steal my candy?

Now I want it back.

[music fades]

[Yong Sun] Cut.

[indistinct chatter]

[female studio cast squealing]

-[candy clatters]
-[chuckles]

You okay?

I'm okay. Are you?

[chuckles]

DID LOVE BLOOM BEHIND THE SCENES?

[Haruna] So how did it go?

[a-chan] Let's see what happened.

-[whooshing]
-[clock ticking]

THE FIRST DAY OF sh**ting

[Nozomi] Hello!

DRAMA DIRECTOR
JO YONG SUN

-[in Korean] You okay? So tired?
-[in English] No, no, everything is great.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

[Nozomi chuckles]

Hello! Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you.

[Haruna] She's so polite.

[a-chan] Yeah.

[Yong Sun in Korean]
Why are you looking so cool?

Your character is supposed to be pitiful.

After you say, "Just wait, Nozomi,"
you run like mad.

[Dong Kyu in English] Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Yong Sun in Korean] Just one more.

[narrator in English] Today,
they will sh**t their scenes separately,

before getting the chance
to work together.

[Yong Sun in deep voice Korean]
"Just wait, Nozomi!"

[staff] Cut.

[Yong Sun in Japanese] "I love you!"

"I love you."

-[Yong Sun in English] Okay.
-[Nozomi laughs]

He's working hard.

[Hae Song in Japanese] Yes, "I love you."

[a-chan in English] She's having fun.

[Yong Sun in Korean] "I'll do my best!"

-And then you open the door and see this.
-[in English] Okay.

[Yong Sun chuckling]

I love going out for drinks,

so why don't we hit the town tonight?

I'm buying!

[cheers and applause]

-[Haruna] That's funny.
-[studio cast laughing]

[staff in Korean] You're falling
head over heels for Nozomi's charms.

[in English] "I'm buying!"

[cheers and applause]

[Yong Sun] Cut.

[Nozomi in Japanese]
I'm looking forward to the next scene.

NOZOMI:
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT SCENE!

We will finally talk.
[chuckles]

NOZOMI:
WE WILL FINALLY TALK LOL

Let's do our best.

[in Korean] Let's do our best.

[Dong Kyu] Mm-hmm.

[papers rustling]

[indistinct chatter]

[staff] Can you show us how you will sit?

[indistinct chatter]

[interpreter in Japanese]
Please keep that posture.

[staff in Korean] Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

[Haruna in English] Okay.

[Shusuke] He's not making eye contact.

-[Haruna] Nope.
-[Maria] He's not.

[indistinct chatter over speaker]

-[Dong Kyu in Korean] Understood.
-[staff] Okay, we're sh**ting.

[Yong Sun in English] Action.

[refreshed exhale]

Excuse me. One more soju, please!

And one more glass.

Hurry, hurry.

-Thank you, Nozomi.
-[chuckles]

[Yong Sun] Cut.

[Yong Sun in Korean] Dong Kyu,
I'm not seeing your love for Nozomi.

[a-chan in English] What?

[Yong Sun in Korean] Let's do it again.

[Maria in English] This is tough.

[Yong Sun] And action.

Hurry, hurry.

Thank you, Nozomi.

[Nozomi chuckling]

[Yong Sun] Cut.

[Yong Sun in Korean] One more time.

[somber music playing]

[Haruna in English]
This must be tough for Nozomi as well.

[Hayato] True.

[Haruna] She thinks he isn't trying.

[indistinct chatter]

[Hayato] It can't be easy for her.

[indistinct chatter]

[in Korean] You have to do
as the judge said for Nozomi's sake too.

[Dong Kyu] Yeah, I want to, but...

[casting producer] You can't?

[Dong Kyu]
Rio and Nozomi are totally different.

[Haruna in English] What?

[casting producer in Korean]
People can tell your heart's not in it.

You've got to focus. You're an actor.

-[Dong Kyu] Okay.
-Mm.

[sighs]

[a-chan in English] Yeah, that's not easy.

It's hard, but this is
what the show is about, right?

[Hayato] This is what it is.

But I'm amazed at how Dong Kyu is so...

He's like... How do I put it?

-Devoted to Rio, I suppose.
-[Haruna] Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

[groans]

[Haruna]
He's not even sitting next to her.

[studio cast groaning]

[gentle somber music playing]

"...telling him to study."

"He must have received his test results."

[Nozomi] He's mysterious, but really,

I think he's an easy person to understand.

How do I put it? He's very kind.

He's a kind person, but sometimes
he doesn't seem kind at all, you know?

[Nozomi] Or maybe he's just trying
not to appear that way to me.

Like he's trying not to be nice to me,
so I don't have feelings for him.

[gentle somber music continues playing]

[gaffer in Korean] Nozomi, are you sad?

[Nozomi in English] Sad?

-[gaffer in Korean] You look sad.
-[Nozomi in English] Oh, I'm okay.

[Nozomi chuckles]

[staff in Korean]
Could you please close the door?

[Hayato in English] The gaffer is no nice.

[Dong Kyu] "Nozomi. Nozomi.
Can I have a candy?"

"Nozomi. You have any more candy?"

"Not much I can do then."

"Not much I can do then."

"Who said you could steal my candy?"

[narrator] This is the last scene...

where they act together.

[staff in Korean] We're going to sh**t.

[Yong Sun in English] Ready...

-...and action.
-[clapperboard clacks]

-[Dong Kyu] Nozomi.
-Hmm?

[Dong Kyu] Do you have any more candy?

No, sorry. I only have this one.

Not much I can do then.

[chuckles]

Who said you could steal my candy?

Now I want it back.

[Nozomi chuckles]

[gentle music playing]

[Yong Sun] Cut.

[gentle music continues playing]

[Dong Kyu]
I tried my best to do as the judge said,

but I don't know.

I guess
it'll be up to the viewers to decide.

I couldn't look Nozomi in the face.

It's not that I don't like her.

It's just that
Rio feels more right for me.

I don't want to hide my feelings.

I really don't want to lie.

[Nozomi] His character
is supposed to be deeply in love,

but I didn't feel that from him.

I was like, I don't know...

Like he was just
going through the motions.

I wish...

Even if it was a lie...

I wish he could've tried harder
to act like he loved me.

[Haruna] Oh.

And so,

because of that...

I feel kind of sad, to be honest.

That he couldn't even do that for me.

[Nozomi] If we had gotten the roles
after the third audition,

I don't think
it would have ended up like this.

[gentle somber music playing]

-Hello.
-[Dong Kyu] Hello.

-[Hayato] This is where it started.
-[Shusuke] Oh, this takes me back.

[Dong Kyu] Will you pair up with me?

[Nozomi in Korean] Nice to...

"Meet you."

...meet you.
[laughs]

[Nozomi in English]
Most of the guys I like are born in June.

It makes me wonder
if that's the kind of guy I fall for.

[Nozomi]
So, do you often take the girls you like

up here to admire the view?

[Dong Kyu] Girls I like?

[Nozomi] Oh, I wasn't trying
to fish for a compliment or anything.

[gentle somber music playing]

[Nozomi] What does the sunflower signify
in Korean culture?

[Dong Kyu] In Korea, it means...

"I only have eyes for you."

Whoa.

Are you serious?

[Dong Kyu in Korean] Yeah.

[in English] How dare you?
Who said you could eat that?

It's good.

[Nozomi chuckles]

[sniffles]
Now I want it back.

[Nozomi whispers]
I'm rooting for you and Rio.

-[Haruna] What?
-[a-chan] What?

[shushes, chuckles]

[Shusuke] She said that?

[h* Bin] Nozomi, do you love Dong Kyu?

[Nozomi] I'm sorry.

[h* Bin] What's wrong? Why are you crying?

[Nozomi] I'm sorry.

[Shusuke] That's why she was crying.

[somber music playing]

[Nozomi chuckles awkwardly]

[Haruna] She put
everything she had into the scene.

[Nozomi]
I guess I just have to get over it.

All those moments are only memories now.

After spending two days sh**ting together,

I realize it's probably the best
for me to move on.

But because we share those fun memories,

I feel the thing I want most
is for him to be happy.

-Aw, man!
-[Shusuke] Amazing.

-So painful.
-[Haruna] So painful. So sad.

It's awful.

[Shusuke] But it's also a form of love.

[Haruna] You're right.

[Hayato] A whole love story
that didn't have a happy ending.

-[Haruna] Yeah.
-It's still so sad.

-[sobbing]
-[Haruna] Don't cry.

[whines]

You were really invested in Nozomi, right?

-[Shusuke] It's emotional.
-Yeah.

It's so hard,
because she won the leading role,

but behind the scenes,
she didn't have a good time.

She knew him so well,
and he started off so kind to her

by giving her flowers.

And then he started drifting away.
I'd be like, "What?"

-[Haruna] Yeah.
-That's what happens

when you rush in too fast
and don't take your time.

The kind of love that gives you flowers
on the first date.

Yeah, you're right.
It can only last so long.

Yes, yes. That's really it.

You know, when it's being reciprocated,
you think, "Wow, what a lovely guy!"

But when it stops, it makes you angry!

And it's only your fault
because you rushed into it too fast.

-That's right.
-Right?

-Yes.
-Well said.

You're thinking,
"Why? This isn't what you promised?"

But from his perspective,
he's just acting the way he always did.

-[a-chan] Absolutely.
-He must really be in love with Rio.

-[Hayato] Oh, I'm sure he is.
-Like, really.

He's totally in love.
He's head over heels.

This is complicated.

[bright music playing]

DECIDING THE FINAL PAIRS

[Yuko] Good morning.

[Hayato]
They're about to decide the final pairs.

Look at Won Shik.

[Yuko] You look like a businessman

going to a job interview.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning again.

[all greeting in Japanese]

[Yuko in English] Nozomi, Dong Kyu.

How did the sh**ting go?

-It was fun. Yeah.
-[Yuko] Great.

-[Haruna] What else can she say?
-[Yuko] You had fun too?

It was fun.

[Yuko in Korean] It was fun?

[Yuko in English]
It was your second time, right?

[Dong Kyu] Yeah.

[Yuko] How was that?
[chuckles]

Good. It was a good experience.

[chuckles]
I see.

Okay.

[Yuko] Up until now,
you have shot five episodes.

Next up is Episode 6,

the final episode.

The title is...

"The Sad Wedding."

It's a story about a man and a woman
who love each other

and have to make a big decision.

As for how we will be deciding the pairs...

this time...

the women will decide.

-[Shusuke exclaims]
-[Haruna] What?

[Yuko] The women will decide

who their partners will be
for the audition.

[Haruna] What will Nozomi do?

[Yuko] This time,
it'll be up to the women to decide.

Oh, man.

[Yuko] Exactly how they choose
will be a secret to the men.

Gentlemen, please wait here.

The women will select who they want
to pair up with while in another location.

Please follow me.

This way.

[light suspenseful music playing]

Now then, let's begin.

This time, it'll be you
who decide the pairs.

[a-chan] Okay.

We want you to select your partners
through a group discussion.

-A discussion?
-[Haruna] Wow.

What do you mean by "discussion"?

Okay, it's time to talk.

[Nozomi in Japanese] A discussion...

[Yuko in English]
There's a lot to discuss.

Tell each other
who you want to pair up with.

Some of you may choose the same partner.

-Okay.
-[Yuko] You'll have to talk it over

until you make a decision.

[upbeat music playing]

[Honoka] My stomach hurts...

To make sure none of you have any regrets,

please take all the time you need
to make the final decision.

[Yuko] Please begin.

Good luck.

-Okay.
-[actresses thanking in Japanese]

-[in English] What do I do? I hate this.
-[Ayano] I can't.

-How do we do this?
-[Nozomi] What do we do?

Who do you choose?
[chuckles]

Have you already decided?

[actresses] Yes.

[Honoka] I know you have.

Do we say it one by one?

[Rio] Yeah.

-Can I go first?
-[actresses] Yeah.

Tae Gyun.

Dong Kyu.

Won Shik.

Won Shik.

[a-chan] Here we go!

[Ayano] My partner has been settled.

[all chuckling awkwardly]

[tense music playing]

[in Japanese] I know.
[awkward chuckle]

[in English] I was really not expecting
this method of deciding.

[Honoka] Well... I wasn't surprised.

Looking at Dong Kyu and Nozomi...

I thought that Nozomi

wasn't interested in Dong Kyu anymore.

Or rather had closed the book
on her feelings for him...

and was now coming for Won Shik.

That's the way it seemed.

To me, this audition for Episode 6
is very important.

It's my last chance,
and I'm not satisfied yet.

-[a-chan] I see.
-[Haruna] How will they figure this out?

-[a-chan] I wonder.
-[Hayato] Yeah.

[Ayano sniffles]
This is cruel.

It's so cruel.

[Won Shik] I have to say,
I was very surprised.

I want to act the part of someone
who's in love with Won Shik

and then actually fall for him.

My feelings are already there.

If I don't switch firmly
into working mode,

I don't think I can make it until the end.

[Rio]
I know how painful it was for you, Nozomi.

I want you to let me...
make something really good.

We all feel the same way.

I feel like I should take advantage
of Won Shik's feelings.

[Honoka] I'm done. No more talking.

There's nothing to say.
