Drama Stage (드라마 스테이지)

Check your love expiration date with the Love Spoiler DNA kit. LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT IS VALIDATED.

Screenwriter HONG EUN JOO

Nice to meet you, everyone.

I'm An Do Kyung, the creator of Love Spoiler.

Have you ever tried the Love Spoiler?

- Yes. - We did.

All right.

If I were to explain it,

Love Spoiler is a program that predicts the expiration date of love,

based on genetic testing.

If we go back to the prom in medieval Europe,

women would slice apples and put them under their armpits,

and hand them to the men they like.

That's gross.

This is the past form of transmitting MHC genes in the body.

The more you are the object of fate,

the more you will feel that the other person is alluring.

However, with the Love Spoiler now,

there will be no more apples under your armpits.

"It might be rude to ask when we meet for the first time,

but let me smell that area."

Nothing like this will happen again.

And the Love Spoiler...

It's quite accurate.

Jung Yi Hyun and Kim Young Hoon's expiration date happened...

...after 67 days elapsed.

182 days ago

67 days don't make sense.

There must be something wrong.

Do you know why the outcome is this?

This is the problem.

It's the DRD4 Gene.

DRD what?

The cheating gene.

Your DRD4 gene meets the nucleotide 48 of the 3rd X region of the specialized gene,

and repeats 15 times.

This level is worthy of the top 10% of the cheating gene.

Then, I'll be accepting questions.

The man wearing pink T-shirt, please.

I was dumped not long ago.

I see.

Is there a man with a longer validity period or something?

Besides me, there should be many situations like this.

With short validity period, there will be shortage in time,

yet with long validity period, you will feel burdened.

For those who broke up due to Love Spoiler,

don't you feel sorry for them?

Why do you use the Love Spoiler?

A sudden parting.

A parting without knowing the reason.

You said you still use it, yet you have hated it?

Because you want to know, so it tells you.

I don't understand why I would feel sorry for you.

I understand it now.

The reason why you are so kind to my friends.

And it's all because of this cheating gene.

I'm friends with people I like.

It would be weirder if I'm unkind to them.

You're amazing.

You don't miss the woman at such moment.

This is such an amazing gene.

How does it matter here?

I heard about your parents' divorce.

It's because your father cheated, isn't it?

About that...

I don't have the confidence to cheat.

It would be a waste to spend the remaining 67 days,

so let's end it here.

Please turn on the microphone.

Do all relationships end...

...according to the expiration date of the Love Spoiler?

Unfortunately, yes.

Absolutely.

How about a relationship that is like a convenience store food,

and gets discarded as soon as 12:00 midnight comes?

Would that make someone feel satisfied?

Well,

if you were not satisfied with the Love Spoiler,

I will apologize to you.

Armpit, yeah!

Yeah.

Yum, yum, yum.

There should be a feeling of being discarded,

but the purpose of Love Spoiler is to prevent the pain of parting ways.

And...

Mic, please.

The pain of parting, you say?

It's the same pain as hot coffee poured on one's leg.

Even when you fall down, as well.

So if that happens to me,

will it hurt less?

What on earth are you doing?

I think the worst thing about Love Spoiler is the spoilers itself.

It lets you know when you want it.

Whether Bruce Willis is a ghost,

a cripple, or even a prisoner,

don't tell me about it.

I'll find the answer myself.

Damn it.

Do you know how many employees are there in the company?

Only two persons.

How many representatives do we have?

Only the two of us.

How many people do these all add up to?

Two persons.

See. You know it well, Mr. Kim Young Hoon.

Of course, Mr. Lee Ho Won.

Geez!

I was responsible for running the company you established,

and you're the visual in-charge in the first place.

Shouldn't it infringe on others’ domain?

I finally got on this job, yet it would just fly away.

I told myself not to do it from the start,

and will not get involved with it anymore.

Yes, you did.

But through the capitalism process, you came to this place,

then you shouldn't have picked up that microphone.

If you want something,

just order an oil barrel or anything like that woman does.

What is she doing?

Don't you know after seeing it?

She wants to set fire to the car owner,

who said to put apples under one's armpits...

What the? She's really going to set fire?

Put that down!

I said put that down!

What's your name?

I'm Yoo Seo Wool.

Yoo Seo Wool. Lives in Seoul.

What's your occupation?

A modern dance choreographer.

According to the records of the victim's drive recorder,

the reason why Kim Young Hoon used his car to crash An Do Kyung's car trunk...

...was to prevent Yoo Seo Wool from damaging it.

Yoo Seo Wool, do you think so too?

No.

It's inconsistent with the facts.

Wait a minute.

You created a ruckus at the Love Spolier Research Institute a year ago,

that you were fined for obstruction of official duties.

The case has been totally cleared.

What's the issue about it?

Yoo Seo Wool and your boyfriend had love expiration after zero days...

Zero?

Zero? What's this?

Dissatisfied with the results that it was only zero days,

that you protested against An Do Kyung.

Zero days.

It says here the result is zero days, as in zero?

Exactly.

Her boyfriend suffered...

...from an incurable genetic Huntington's disease, [ HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE, A condition that stops parts of the brain working properly over time. ]

so no matter who the party is, they will end after zero days.

Which means that the expiration date cannot be known.

You see, the expiration date...

This is the first time I have heard it.

Unable to know the expiration date?

Excuse me.

Are you making unnecessary arguments?

Why?

The expiration date is meaningless.

We are doing well now.

So that's why you tried setting fire?

That's not it...

Excuse me.

It was me who did it.

It's just that I did it when I wanted to.

And the way An Do Young talks made me feel annoyed.

Are you all right?

Why did you have to meddle in my situation?

You're right.

"I met you for the first time,

but why would I care about you trying to set fire,

when you know that I'm an unkind person?"

I said it's not like that.

I can see through you.

You were right that I tried setting fire.

But it's not because of his personality.

Why fish sauce?

I found a way to seek revenge from the Internet,

and I heard that if you pour fish sauce,

the car would get scrapped because of the stinky smell.

Even if you hate the Love Spoiler,

nothing will change.

What should I do, then?

If I don't do anything, I would be frustrated to death.

Hey, eat it anytime.

Hey, forget it. Geez.

You will be overcome by the Love Spoiler in the end.

Listen.

People like me can only associate with someone...

...whose love will expire in less than 100 days.

Talking about this kind of new humanly love that won't hurt at all,

"Oh, the cheating gene is such a trivial trouble,"

you would think like this.

What time would the art center starts tomorrow?

Right.

Your driver's license has been revoked,

and it looks like I have to send back the equipment alone again, right?

Correct.
