Record of Youth (청춘기록)

Why do you hate rainy days?

It makes me feel like I'm all alone.

-Mom! -Mom!

-To kids, umbrellas on rainy days… -Bye.

Goodbye.

…symbolize protection from adults.

After growing up,

I didn't expect anyone to give me an umbrella.

That day, my dad told me

he had watched me until he couldn't see me anymore.

He should have run to me instead of just watching me go away.

For kids, things must be clear for them to understand.

I wanted to watch him until I couldn't.

Did he turn around to see me again?

If he turned around,

was he disappointed that I wasn't there?

Small things like this sway my emotions.

I know this is a part of being in love.

Even until then,

I hadn't accepted such emotions.

When it came to love, I was only a nine-year-old kid.

-It's cold. -Let's go inside.

-But this is a new car. -It's okay. Get in.

Put this over you for now.

Let's see. Where's the button for the heater?

Gosh. Hold on. Where's the button?

Is this it?

Oh, no.

I think I got the right one this time.

I got it.

-What will happen to us? -See? I got it.

We crave this uncertain and unpredictable relationship.

That day,

we flipped a page of our youth.

EPISODE 9

Hello.

Did you call the director of The King Returns?

I don't like that drama.

"When you and I disagree, we will follow my decision."

That was my condition.

Come on. You must follow up with a romantic drama.

What's my schedule today?

Hair salon at 11 a.m.,

interview with Out News at 2 p.m., and commercial shoot at 5 p.m.

Min-jae.

Can I sign an exclusive contract with Jeong-ha?

Or am I not famous enough for it?

If you do Love and Guilt,

you'll be famous enough.

You're so tenacious.

Should I pick you up?

I'll drive. Meet me at the salon.

-Grandpa. -Hey, you're here.

I was wondering where you were.

I came to exercise.

I'll work hard and start my career as a model, too.

Don't overdo it.

-I don't want you to faint again. -It's all right. I have a few tips now.

I want you to get more famous and prove your dad wrong.

He knows nothing about this industry.

Now that he's making some money, he bought a car.

Gosh.

-Yeong-nam. -What brings you here so early?

I see. This is the new car Hye-jun bought.

What a slick ride.

Gosh.

I was wondering why you came here this morning.

Of course, I'm here for a reason.

I asked you multiple times for Hye-jun's autographs, but I never got them.

-So I came here myself. -Just for autographs?

Exactly. They are just autographs.

I'm serious about this.

My honor is at stake with dancers from my belly dance studio.

Don't say that in front of him. He'll think he's famous.

You're starting to worry me.

Be nice to him. You'll regret it later.

I won't regret anything. Don't you worry about me.

Are we having guests?

Hye-jun!

-You startled me. -She startled me, too.

Hello, sir.

Hye-jun, can we talk?

This isn't a good place for a meet-and-greet.

What is this about?

You'd better stay sharp.

He's doing that just fine.

-You should stay sharp. -Father.

Did you just scold me?

Yes, I did.

You don't get to scold me all the time.

Don't you know that Hye-jun is a star now?

That makes me a star's grandpa.

Gosh.

What is it? You're scaring me.

Can I ask you out?

Can I hit you?

Oh, my. I remember you calling that drama lame.

But you're watching it every day.

It wasn't my choice.

Why were you watching it then?

It was just on. That's all.

-Is that a no? -Yes, it is.

275 MILLION WON

273 MILLION WON

DAD

-Dad. -Did I call too early?

But I didn't want to call you when you were on the bus.

No, this is good.

I wake up early these days. I have a lot to do.

What are you doing now?

I'm selling my house, so I'm checking the market.

I'm looking for a lot, too.

Why would you do that?

You don't pay a lot for your mortgage.

And what lot?

Dad.

I find myself in a perplexing phase again.

I'm reevaluating my life to see if I've been doing a good job.

Hey, you went through that recently.

So you quit your office job.

No.

That was a part of my meticulous ten-year plan.

Gosh. We should discuss this in person.

Even so, thank you.

What do you mean?

For including me in your perplexing phase.

I love being a part of your life.

Dad, you should stop feeling indebted to me.

That's not the right word. It's love.

I'll see you in Seoul.

WON HAE-HYO

I'm filming right now.

I'm wearing this for tomorrow's press conference.

THANK YOU, STAFF AND CAST THIS IS FROM WON HAE-HYO

THIS IS FROM WON HAE-HYO

THANK YOU, STAFF AND CAST THIS IS FROM WON HAE-HYO

Jeez. He's so high-maintenance.

Why does he want me to be at the shoot? Why?

I'll let it slide since he lost a commercial.

You haven't told him yet?

No. Another commercial is under discussion.

If that works out, I'll say the agency decided to drop the commercial.

The studio is planning a press conference, and they asked us to set aside some time.

We must work around it because Hye-jun has a tight schedule.

Why is he joining at all? He has a small role.

He's in the limelight these days.

The investors are pushing for it.

-Don't change Do-ha's schedule. -Okay.

That's some fancy catering. Who is it from?

It's from Hae-hyo.

Do you seriously believe it's from Hae-hyo, Jang-gun?

Didn't you hear Hae-hyo has rich parents, backing him up?

No, I never heard about it, but I saw his mom

when she came to see you. I saw her, then.

I thought about meeting somewhere else.

It's been finalized that Do-ha will be in Catch.

Hae-hyo also got the script, right?

Did you want to show off your successful transition?

I read the script.

I also heard a famous writer will be joining.

And a novice writer got bumped down.

I'd like to pitch Hae-hyo for the supporting character.

If you do, will that work?

Yes, but under one condition.

I want your apology.

Apologize for all of those insults you threw at me.

I don't remember.

What did I exactly say?

I'll take that as a no.

This is a great opportunity for Hae-hyo.

He's the second man in Superstar Do-ha's movie.

After this movie, Hae-hyo will be offered lead roles.

I can't apologize in advance.

But I will apologize once it's finalized that he gets the role.

Things are going well.

You look radiant more than usual today. Hae-hyo's drama is going well. Is that it?

Only two episodes aired, so it's too early to celebrate.

But I heard scoring 13 percent for the first episode's ratings is high.

The second episode bumped up by 1.3 percent, too.

Do-ha can't even hold a candle to Hae-hyo.

Being your client paid off. I know you don't say empty compliments.

So you know I don't say empty compliments.

Isn't he the main character?

You could say that. That's a big supporting role.

WON HAE-HYO WANTS YOU

I've never had coffee from my colleague's mom.

My mom can be over-the-top.

She never listens to me.

Do you know why I pitched you to the director?

Why? I was actually very curious.

-I want us to be friends. -Me? Why?

You're a silver spooner.

You're easygoing and classy, too.

Silver spooners and dirt spooners. Must you use such labels?

That's the trend these days. Why not?

Have you ever felt this?

Worrying about money as a kid.

Worrying your dad might not come home.
