Even if I save you from danger,
you do not remember anything at all.
I...
like you a lot. Wait, no.
I love you.
- I... - I like you, Pil.
We told each other how we feel many times,
but it's as if our confessions of love...
never happened.
The moment I jump into that manhole,
everything that happened in my travel gets reset.
The day before I enlisted...
The camera you lost...
- The pharmacist found it? - Is...
this your camera?
- So? - You must've seen...
the video I recorded with your camera then.
I've never seen such a video.
Jae Hyun.
Ironically,
what I did in the past...
made you and Jae Hyun become closer.
It wasn't a joke.
I was serious.
The uncomfortable truths do not get reset.
What?
I did it because I like you.
It was true that Jin Sook liked me.
Soo Jin.
What should I do now?
How can I get you back?
(Episode 9)
What?
What's this?
Where am I?
Wait. Am I stuck down here?
Hey. Manhole!
Hey, open the cover! Hey!
What?
What's that?
My bride, you look really pretty today.
What?
They're getting married right now?
Hey. No.
Hey! No, Soo Jin.
Hey, Soo Jin!
You can't get married, Soo Jin!
No.
No, this wedding doesn't count.
It doesn't count!
You scared me.
Be quiet.
Seok Tae.
What year is it?
We've been friends forever,
but I'm still not used to you.
What do you think? It's 2014.
2014?
2014.
That's when I just got discharged from the army.
Why did I see Soo Jin's wedding all of a sudden?
Is her wedding still on in the present?
Gosh, I'm going crazy.
(To Jin Sook, Happy birthday!)
Hey, Seok Tae.
What does Soo Jin do these days?
You know she works as an assistant at that studio.
Right. That's right.
Hey.
What are you doing?
What will you give Jin Sook for her birthday?
Jin Sook?
Jin Sook...
Why are you taking this as a joke when I'm serious?
I like you. I mean it.
I've liked you ever since high school.
Did you forget that today is her birthday?
Jin Sook, no.
What do you mean by no? Is it because of money?
It's okay if you can't buy her a birthday gift.
It's the thought that counts.
I have to change her mind somehow.
I have to...
But how am I going to face her?
(I want to tell you something.)
(I actually like you a lot.)
(Would you marry me?)
Gosh, it's hot!
This is three years ago.
Why does it have to be now?
Couldn't you send me back to high school?
Then I would've done something.
What in the world do I have to do?
Goodness.
- Be careful. - Hey.
What's going on?
Stop.
Ta-da!
Happy birthday, Jin Sook.
Hey.
When did you prepare all this?
You have a shoot today. You're not running late?
Hey, friends come first. Work comes after.
You know I never miss your birthday.
Sit down.
There.
I made japchae and bulgogi, your favorites.
Soo Jin.
Thank you.
My grandma was worried...
that I'd spend my birthday alone.
Hey, tell your grandma not to worry.
I'll celebrate your birthday with you forever.
Hey, let's not say forever.
When I have a boyfriend, I'm sure that...
he'll celebrate it with me.
Goodness. Really?
Say that to me when you have a boyfriend.
What kind of reaction is that?
I wish a boyfriend would fall from the sky...
as a birthday gift.
Don't look for one from the sky.
You should look around you.
Isn't there a nice guy somewhere?
Hey. Eat first.
- I will sing happy... - Wait.
Thank you for the meal.
Why can't I sing you happy birthday?
Hey, Soo Jin.
This is so good.
You should be a cook, not a photographer.
Is it good?
Goodness.
Hey. I'll hire you.
Let's sign a contract.
No. You always say that.
Why not?
This is so delicious. Why won't you work with me?
- Why not? - I said no.
But I really am a great cook.
It's really delicious.
It's so good.
How can I clear up Soo Jin's misunderstanding,
and how can I change Jin Sook's mind?
(From Bong Pil, To Soo Jin)
Gosh, what do I do?
Should I ask Jin Sook to give the letters back?
No. Then Jin Sook will tell me that she likes me.
What will I do then?
Wait. I'm in the past.
Maybe Jin Sook didn't take the letters this time.
That's right.
Pil!
Hello.
I wondered why I haven't seen you around.
You must've been studying.
Well, yes. It's about time I got myself together.
Good thinking.
They say people can die as soon as they get...
Goodness. What am I saying?
Anyway why are you and Soo Jin acting so awkward?
I thought you two had a fight.
- Pardon? - Ever since you were discharged,
Soo Jin seems upset whenever I mention you.
I can tell she doesn't like...
Goodness, what am I saying?
Anyway, be a good friend to Soo Jin...
and come over sometime.
I'll be going now.
So Soo Jin did get angry at me.
It's because she didn't get my replies.
Let's get the letters back first.
That's the only answer.
Okay, here we go.
Goodness. You don't look happy.
This picture will last forever.
Here we go again. All right.
Come on. It's a wedding photo.
You two have to be closer.
Put your arms around her.
- Hi. - Hey, you're here.
Nice.
Think you're the happiest person in the world.
All right. Here we go.
You'll be kissing each other next.
You mean French kiss or just a kiss?
- Goodness. - All right.
A little closer.
One, Two...
Three!
- What... - Hello.
Hello.
Please wait a second.
Guys, let's have a short break.
Have some water. Thank you.
You're very different when you work.
You look cool.
I guess you aren't working today.
- Well... - Oh, that.
He said it's his day off today.
So I told him to join us...
and have some fresh air.
I'm not interrupting you, am I?
Not at all.
How about we go have lunch together?
I'd love that.
Oh, right.
I almost forgot that I have a lunch meeting.
- Excuse me? - Goodness.
What should I do?
Right. You can have lunch with her.
Jae Hyun, please do that.
- All right. - Sir.
Sir, wait.
Goodness.
I don't know what's wrong with him.
Why not we just go have lunch?
I brought some sandwiches.
Just the two of us?
Well...
Gosh, what should I do now?
Let's see.
Why isn't it here?
She always hid it here.
Goodness.
Oh, right.
I'm in the past now.
Hey.
Jerks like you aren't allowed to go in here.
Let's see.
Nice.
Jin Sook, I'm sorry.
I didn't want to go this far,
but I have no choice.
I'll make sure to protect your privacy.
I'll just take...
the letters. That's it.
They were somewhere in here.
Jin Sook.
Why do you like someone like me?
Goodness.
Hey.
What?
- What are you doing here? - Well...
I thought it was your birthday today,
so I came to make you seaweed soup.
- Without any seaweed? - What?
Gosh, you're right.
I think I left it in my house.
I'll go bring it.
Pil.
Be honest.
Did you sneak in my house...
to steal my secret savings?
Let's not do this. We're friends.
What are you talking about?
I really came to make you seaweed soup.
Really?
- No way. Let me check. - I said it's not true.
- What's in here? - Hey.
What about inside this pocket?
I said I really came to make you seaweed soup.
Anyway,
I'll go get some seaweed. See you later.
(From Bong Pil, To Soo Jin)
Goodness, Dad!
You're impossible. When did you buy this?
You brat, give that back to me.
Do you still want to drink when you have a bad cough?
Yes, I do, so give that to me now.
I'm going around to get you medicine.
What's wrong with you, seriously?
You'll really die at this rate.
Says who?
I won't die.
Get me the bottle.
Dad.
Let's go to the hospital.
You need to go get checked up when you're sick...
instead of drinking like this.
I'm not sick.
I'm not sick at all.
And even if I'm going to die soon,
I won't go to that darn hospital.
- That hurts. - Eat it later.
I'm curious what's in there.
- Goodness, stop. - That hurts.
- What on earth? - Hey.
What are you doing here?
What's keeping you so busy that you aren't at work?
Three groups of customers came in and left.
That means you lost at least 50 dollars in sales.
How is your dad?
You used to be the type to always stay chubby,
but it's not good to see you go thin every day.
Have you been eating well lately?
She prepared this all morning...
to feed you.
For your information, I had cup noodles.
I'm just saying it.
Let's have lunch together.
I brought two lunch boxes.
Does it taste all right?
It's amazing.
Did you make them all by yourself?
As I lived alone for long, I became good at cooking.
And I put special effort in making them...
because it was for you.
It feels nice to be out here getting fresh air.
You're right.
Isn't it suffocating to be in the pharmacy every day?
I do feel suffocated.
I need to meet other people...
and expose myself to enough sunshine,
but the people I meet every day are patients.
I might get depression at this rate.
That shouldn't happen. You're a pharmacist.
What do you do on your day off?
Pharmacies must be closed on some day.
On my days off,
I either sleep until late...
or hang out with my friends.
I don't do anything exciting.
It's good to have some hobbies.
Like watching movies...
or exercising.
Walking in the park is another one.
You're right.
But I can't do those alone.
Will you do those activities with me?
Me?
Yes.
Well...
I'm getting a call. Let me go take this.
Yes, sir.
The CEO left.
And the shoot is over.
I don't know. He left first.
I decided to take up some hobbies like you said.
Can you help me?
Me?
Do you have the time tonight?
I have two tickets to the movies.
Oh, it's a bad day.
It's my dear friend Jin Sook's birthday,
so we're throwing her a party.
I have to be there.
Oh, is she the friend from the skewer place?
That sounds fun.
Can I come?
What?
Well...
Gosh, this is driving me insane.
I can't just ask Jin Sook to give me the letters.
Then I'll call her and ask.
The more, the merrier, I guess.
- Okay. - Gosh, look at those two.
Thank you.
Wait.
They seem a bit awkward.
Is it just me?
Thank you.
Oh, they aren't dating yet at this time.
- Let me take that. - Thanks.
Soo Jin.
You must've been working. Your studio was empty.
What's with you? Have you gone insane?
What do you mean? It's you and me.
You're Bong Pil, right?
Nice to meet you. I'm Park Jae Hyun.
I thought you were just a wimpy guy.
I guess you do work out.
I thought you were the one...
who's been studying for the state exams.
Come on, break it off.
Goodness, let go.
What are you doing? You're embarrassing me.
I'm sorry about that.
I'll call you, so you should just go.
- Call me, then. - Okay. Go.
Gosh, he was just a piece of cake.
Weren't you out working?
Why did you come back with him?
Why do you care who I come with?
What a weirdo.
Hey, Soo Jin. Kang Soo Jin!
Hey, Soo Jin.
I know why you have been so cold to me.
It's a misunderstanding. There's a mistake.
What mistake?
I know this is because I never wrote back to you.
But I honestly did. What happened is...
You never got it because of a mistake in delivery.
A mistake in delivery?
Then are you claiming someone hid the letters?
Yes.
You're right.
Who would do that?
Your letters don't contain confidential information.
It's...
I can't tell you right now.
I'll bring the evidence within the day, so...
Hey.
Stop wasting your time and go study.
Hey. Hey, Soo Jin...
Darn it.
Make sure the chopsticks are clean.
Please tidy up the menus.
- Clean every corner. - Okay.
Let's have another great day!
Oh, right.
Is this the headquarters?
I need twice the amount of Bongpil skewers today.
The customers went crazy because I ran out.
Oh, just the ingredients for Bongpil skewers.
Yes, okay. Goodbye.
Let's keep it up.
Hey, what's going on?
It's not here. Did Jin Sook take it?
He said he'll be studying all night.
Has he always been this neat?
His desk is way too clean.
His room is no better than a trash can.
This is as good as new.
We can probably sell this to a used book store.
People say men change when they go to the army,
but it was all but a lie.
All we got from here is completely despair.
Let's go.
(I must study to marry a pretty woman.)
It's odd how Seok Tae isn't here either.
He's always here.
Is Bong Pil influencing him in a wrong way?
He might be. It...
must be really hard for you to face his dad.
I'll take this one.
How many candles do you need?
- I need 25. - Okay.
(Congratulations, you have successfully passed...)
(the 2014 state exam for grade 9 civil servant.)
(Register as a prospective employee within the date.)
My gosh. No way!
Jin Sook, I made it.
I passed the test! I did it!
Give me the cake already. I'm in a hurry.
My gosh, is this real? Jin Sook!
(Bongbong Pub)
The rent? We can't even pay the electricity bill.
What are we going to do?
Yun Mi, maybe we should turn this to a karaoke.
Mi Ja, forget about it. You'll close down...
even if you manage to build up a castle.
Please.
He's here again.
Our regular who never gets anything expensive.
What are you doing? Get him his beer.
Excuse me,
give me a pint of beer.
Excuse me.
What do you think Mi Ja's address is?
- Why? - Why?
I'm just curious.
I can't sleep with a question in my head.
If you're interested, ask her yourself.
- Should I get her? - No, no.
It's all right.
It's not a bad idea to take things slowly.
Mi Ja, he wants to know where you live.
Tell him that I live on the earth.
You heard her.
I see.
This means...
we have the same address.
(Skewers On Me)
Here are Bongpil skewers.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Wow, the business is doing great.
- Excuse me. - I'm serious, guys.
Excuse me, another order of Bongpil skewers.
Yes, coming right up.
Pil is giving me a hard time as skewers too.
Jin Sook, can we talk for a moment?
- Is it ready? - Excuse me.
Hey, what is it?
I said I'll make some seaweed soup for you.
Why did you lock your door?
You don't have seaweed. Why do you say that?
- Well... - And...
the gang was going to meet up at Bongbong Pub.
You, I get it.
You, you, you.
You felt bad for not getting me a present.
No, it's not that.
To be honest, I left something at your house.
Oh, really?
You should've said so.
- Here. - Thanks.
I'm really sorry.
I'll go get it really fast.
- Okay. - See you.
See you.
What's he trying to do?
Why does he keep going in and out of my house?
Is he...
trying to throw me a surprise party?
That punk.
Where could the letters be?
Letters.
Where are they?
(From Bong Pil, To Soo Jin)
[VIU Ver] Episode 9 Manhole "What's the Point Now?" -= Ruo Xi =-
Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you - Okay.
This one is on the house.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
Happy birthday, dear Jin Sook
Dal Soo, where is Pil?
Pil doesn't get good grades,
but he's a smart guy.
He always knows where he should be...
at what time instinctively.
See?
Hey, Bong Pil.
How can you show up after we finished decorating?
Dal Soo, is Soo Jin here yet?
Soo Jin?
There she is.
Hi, Soo Jin.
The pharmacist is here too.
Gosh, this is amazing.
That's my friend Dal Soo.
Hey, please don't ruin Jin Sook's birthday.
It took us half a day to prepare all this.
Goo Gil, Jin Sook was born today, right?
I guess so because today is her birthday.
But today,
someone is going to die.
What?
Excuse me.
- I have a call. - Okay.
Hello?
Gosh, I'm getting a call too.
Hey, I'll go outside and take this call.
Yes.
I have an appointment.
Yes.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay.
Hey.
Why do you torment me so much?
I don't know what you're saying.
I...
have been seeing you while traveling time and space.
I already know that...
behind that smile is someone truly evil.
- Pardon? - Get lost...
if you don't want to be humiliated.
Got it?
If I'm making you uncomfortable,
I'll just leave.
- Well... - Why?
Tell us more about good medicine.
No, have a good time among yourselves.
Okay. That's a good idea.
Goodbye.
You're making me really uncomfortable.
Hey, you go home.
You're making me uncomfortable.
Are you a thug?
Hey, why are you acting so weird?
Don't mind him. Just stay.
He's not welcomed here anyway.
- Well... - Wait.
- Well... - Hey...
No, it's fine. I'll be leaving now.
Well...
- Well... - You didn't even eat.
Well...
- Hey. - You.
What?
I didn't say anything.
(Bongbong Pub)
I'm sorry. It was awkward in there, wasn't it?
Not at all.
Your friends seem nice and fun to be around.
Did...
Pil say anything...
that made you upset?
No, he didn't say anything.
I think he did.
No, he really didn't.
I'm leaving because I have something to do.
You asked me if you could come to the party,
but now you're saying you have to leave.
It's not like that. Don't get me wrong.
Actually,
I want to get to know your friends better.
But I won't rush.
I'm happy that I got to say hello at least.
Go in.
I don't want your friends waiting.
Anyway...
thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Goodbye then.
Take care.
Bye.
- Ta-da! - Ta-da!
Okay.
- One, Two... - Wait.
Is Seok Tae baking a cake? Why isn't he here yet?
Let's do the cake after.
We'll sing the song first.
All right. One, Two, Three.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday - Happy birthday
- Dear Jin Sook - Dear Jin Sook
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
Oh, my.
"Jin Sook, happy birthday." No.
Goodness.
Jin Sook, happy birthday.
Open it when you get home.
Thank you. When did you prepare this?
Wait. Where is my gift?
I definitely bought one.
He's putting on a show again.
Hey, if you didn't bring one, just sit down.
Stop making a fuss.
Jin Sook knows that you're penniless.
Instead of putting on a show,
just explain yourself to her nicely.
I'm serious. I really brought a present.
Hey. Sit down.
I'll pretend that I received it.
Hey, isn't this it?
(From Bong Pil, To Soo Jin)
Military mail?
- What's this? - Hey.
They're letters you sent to Soo Jin.
Why does he carry this around?
Hey, it's not like that. Give it to me.
What is it? Is it a secret letter?
It's nothing like that.
Why did you take this without my permission?
What? What's wrong?
- I'm going home. - Hey, Jin Sook.
It's not like that. Well...
I mean...
Hey.
I passed!
Jin Sook.
Jin Sook, I passed.
Hey, Jin Sook. I passed.
Hey, Jin Sook.
Jin Sook.
- What was that? - What's going on?
Gosh, I'm not sure.
What?
Jin Sook. Wait a minute.
Right.
I took your letters.
Swear at me if you want.
I'm sorry, Jin Sook.
Why are you sorry?
I'm the one who stole your letters.
Swear at me, and get mad at me.
I...
know why you took these letters.
Jin Sook.
I'm sorry that I realized it too late.
If I...
If I realized how you felt earlier...
Were you planning to show these to Soo Jin?
Even if you had known my feelings,
you would've continued to hurt me.
You would've loved only Soo Jin.
Jin Sook.
Pil.
I'm too ashamed to see your face.
I'm too sorry to see Soo Jin's face as well.
Take care of them on my behalf.
Hey, Jin Sook. Jin Sook!
Soo Jin.
That's...
I really don't know from where...
I should start explaining.
(Military Mail)
These are yours...
though it's a bit late.
(Military Mail)
That's what happened.
But...
what's the use...
in my getting these now?
These letters are nothing.
It's because of the letters.
We drifted apart because you didn't...
receive the letters from me.
I only did it to correct your misunderstanding.
Pil.
You're really clueless.
There has never been a misunderstanding.
Soo Jin.
- What do you mean? - Pil.
Jin Sook...
has liked you for a very long time.
I...
don't want you...
to break her heart.
Hey, Soo Jin.
Did you give up on me because of Jin Sook?
You see,
friendship hurts...
more than love sometimes.
Let's end it here,
Pil.
Jin Sook.
Why are you here?
You should've stayed with them longer.
It's only a birthday party without a birthday girl.
Everyone went home.
I'm sorry...
that I ruined the mood.
I'm really disappointed in you.
I ran to you even without calling my dad...
as soon as I heard that I passed the exam.
I wanted you to be the first one...
to hear the news and to congratulate me.
Sorry.
Things were just so chaotic.
Congratulations.
You don't care whether I passed the exam or not.
You wouldn't be like this if it was Pil.
Seok Tae.
What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
You know why I wanted to become a public official?
You once said...
you wanted your husband to be a public official.
That's why I studied for the exam.
You said a guy with short hair looked cool.
So I shaved my hair the next day.
You said you liked a tall man.
That's why I had three insoles in my shoes.
My world revolves around you.
Why aren't you giving me a chance?
Seok Tae.
You know whom I like.
Don't be like this.
Just like you can't give up on Pil,
I can't give up on you.
You should understand me even if others can't.
I have something I want to show you.
Follow me.
Wait.
Look.
What are these?
It's Soo Jin's letters to Pil since high school.
(From Soo Jin, To Pil)
Why do you have these?
Sometimes, people get childish.
Like you did.
At that time,
I just hated Pil.
I felt like I was being ignored because of him.
So I intercepted the letters she sent to Pil.
Why are you showing them to me?
You'll know when you read them.
It's not Pil's one-sided love.
Soo Jin likes Pil very much too.
You're her best friend.
Can't you give up on him for Soo Jin's sake?
Seok Tae.
It's not like I can control my feelings.
I'd love to turn it back if I could.
I didn't know...
I'd be sorry to so many people for liking someone.
But I can't give up, so what can I do?
I just can't.
(Military Mail)
(From Bong Pil, To Soo Jin)
Salute.
- Soo Jin, how are you? - Keep up the good work.
I miss you so much.
I go on trainings every day.
I've lost a lot of weight too.
I got quite tanned too.
People say you become a different man...
after the army, but it seems like...
this place just wants to strain you.
They won't let me do anything.
It's really frustrating how I can't do anything...
I took for granted before.
And the one thing I miss the most...
is not my mom's cooking,
not eating instant noodles as my midnight snack,
but you.
Dear Bong Pil.
Things must be hard and busy for you.
I've heard...
that the army is a very busy place.
But I'm starting to get worried...
because I haven't heard back from you.
(Olympic Army Base)
That's why I want to visit you this weekend.
Can you call me...
when you get this letter?
Mom!
You can't eat that.
I made these for Pil.
There really is no use in raising a kid.
You never made anything for your parents.
Goodness, you are so good to him.
But Pil's in the army.
I'm sure he must be hungry.
I thought he doesn't even respond to you.
Does he know that you're coming?
It's not that he isn't responding.
He can't because he's too busy.
I told him I'll visit over the phone.
Oh, really?
But anyway, you are being such a good girl.
Hey, this is good.
- Isn't it? - It's perfect.
That's all you get.
Fine.
No, Mom! No.
(Olympic Army Base)
Hello.
How may I help you?
I came to visit someone.
Can you fill this form out...
and wait in that room?
Thank you. Have a great day.
- Salute. - Hey, it's you.
Let's go.
(Relationship)
Our relationship?
(Relationship)
Girl...
friend.
(Relationship, girlfriend)
Is this too much?
(Friend)
Pil had another visitor, so he went out.
Went out?
Then when will he be back?
I can't know that.
He has to return by 8pm though.
8pm?
Who came to visit him?
I guess I came for nothing.
- I was so hungry. - The peppers are spicy.
Really?
My gosh.
Hey, come on. Eat up already.
Okay, this is spicy.
- Isn't it great? - It's too spicy.
People say spicy food can make you happier.
- Is that mine? - Yes.
You ruined my uniform.
Don't do that.
Look. It's your present.
Goodness, what's this?
Hey, come on.
Hey, I can't wear these. Look at the color.
- Okay, then. - Just eat up.
What? Okay.
Did you bring...
I did. Come on, it's me.
Okay.
Here. Have some.
Gosh, this is so good.
Pil.
It's just...
too late for us.
Soo Jin already decided to give up on me.
What else can I do at this point?
What should I do?
What can I do to make Soo Jin change her mind?
Yes, Grandma.
I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
No, no.
My baby, did you have a fun birthday?
Of course, I did.
Soo Jin made me seaweed soup,
and my friends threw me a birthday party.
Goodness, I'm so thankful for Soo Jin.
Did you just come home...
after partying with your friends?
Yes.
Grandma.
Should I pack up my things and come live with you?
Just because.
Nothing happened.
I'm just sick of this town.
Okay.
I'll let you know...
once I decide on something.
Good night.
(Jin Sook, happy birthday. From Pil.)
Jin Sook, happy birthday.
From Pil.
(Jin Sook, happy birthday. From Pil.)
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(Epilogue)
The weather's really nice.
It's nice.
Jin Sook, what are you doing this weekend?
Do you want to go somewhere with me?
- This weekend? - Yes.
I have to go somewhere.
Where?
I have to meet someone.
You do?
Then...
I'll go alone.
Hey.
I'm sorry for making you go alone.
Where are you going by the way?
Are you meeting a guy?
No.
I'm going to get some fresh air.
I'll tell you where I went...
after I come back.
Hey.
Where are you going?
I'll tell you later.
What?
Where are you going? Tell me.
I'll tell you later.
(Manhole)
Why are you in my room?
I'm getting married to Jin Sook?
Young Master.
Dal Soo is "Young Master"?
Who are you?
Which school is she going to?
Study abroad? What's going on?
Don't you know my phone number or my birthday?
I'll write them down. Give it to me.
All I can do is...
to go back to the past by riding the manhole.
I should get rid of all the sewers and manholes.
