The Write One - First Season

What is love?

Love is an act of bravery.

So, what if she doesn't like me?

What if she does?

What if she's now ready to open her heart to you?

Ours is a love story like no other.

Because this story is not about happily ever after.

Take a leap of faith, Mr. Herrera.

Maybe she's waiting for you.

You're still in bed?

I'm getting up.

Get up now or you will get it from me if I get late.

People say that love is the most powerful force in the universe.

Others say that...

love is destiny.

Love is kind.

But for me...

Love is an act of bravery...

Brave enough to open your heart to less-than-ideal situations.

Brave enough to face the challenges

that time and fate throw at you.

Brave enough to put in the hard work to make it work.

And this story is about that kind of love.

The truest kind of love.

Hi, Son.

Mommy, I have a new tablet.

Daddy gave it to me because I am a good boy.

Where's your daddy?

Over there. Making dinner.

Hon, you're home.

Come on, let's eat while the food is still hot.

Did I forget something that we should celebrate?

You did.

And we should really celebrate this, Hon.

So it's true that you gave Dex a gift?

Come on.

Don't be jealous.

Do you think it's just Dex?

I also got you something.

Go on. Open it, my love.

What is this for?

For us.

Maybe it's about time we fulfill our dream vacation in Paris.

So there.

Can we talk?

What do you think are you doing?

Where did you get the money for this?

I used my credit card.

So you also bought Dex's tablet on credit?

Hon, just relax.

Let me explain.

Liam, what is there to explain?

You know that we only earn enough.

Barely enough for Dex's schooling.

And now, this?

Are you using your head?

Hon, come on. It's okay.

My new show got approved. That means we have extra income.

So you think you have money just because you have a new show?

Like you hit the jackpot?

Are we one-day millionaires?

Liam, we should save when we have extra money

instead of compulsively spending!

What if we have an emergency?

What will happen to Dex? Where will you get the money?

Hon, I just thought that...

maybe we need a break from stress, you know?

You thought of it?

Did you really think it through?

Liam, are you really using your head?

Because if you are, you should have realized that we don't need this.

If you only use your head,

you will realize that we can't afford to go on vacation,

because we will starve after!

Son, love isn't so mysterious.

For me, love is very simple.

Because love is an act of bravery.

You need to be brave to open your heart to others.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

I'll return everything tomorrow.

I'll ask for a refund for everything I spent.

Hon.

Hon...

I overslept.

Hon, sorry. I overslept.

My alarm didn't work.

I know. I turned off your alarm.

Looks like you stayed up all night

so I didn't wake you up.

What?

What about Dex?

Our car was towed, remember?

I called my mom.

I asked her to bring Dex to school for now.

By the way...

Your dad called.

He was cleaning and saw these things that belonged to your mom.

Why did he bring it only now?

Good thing his new wife didn't get rid of it.

There are photo albums here that we can show to Dex.

I miss your mom.

I miss her cooking.

We can show these to Dex.

What else is there, Hon?

Well...what is this...

What is it?

Is it heavy?

What is this?

I wonder what it is.

-I think you open it here. -This side?

There.

I didn't know that mom also had something like this.

Was she a writer, too?

I don't know.

I'll put away mom's things.

Let me do it, Hon.

I'll bring it to the storage room.

I got it.

Hon...

I'm sorry for last night.

It's okay.

You were right.

Actually...

I was wrong.

I was wrong because I overreacted.

I know that...

you're just trying to be a good father...

and a good husband.

I'm sorry because instead of...

being happy...

instead of thanking you...

I judged you.

I said some hurtful words.

I should be the one to apologize.

I should have been...

I should have been more mindful in my decisions.

I shouldn't make decisions on my own.

We can still go.

We'll go to Paris?

Don't you want to?

Of course, I do.

But you said we should not spend compulsively

so when there's an emergency, we have savings.

Hon, you know what?

I am about to close a deal with a big account later.

If I get that, I will provide insurance for all the employees

of a big-time businessman.

Hon, I'm sure I'll get a huge commission from it.

Wow.

-Congratulations, Hon. -

So that means our Parisian honeymoon is really on.

Dex will soon have a sibling.

Silly.

Why not?

I love you.

I love you, too so much.

So much.

After all the stories I told you,

I'm sure you still have some questions left.

What could possibly go wrong?

What?

Are you kidding?

I developed that story for almost a year.

Look, Liam.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

But the network has decided not to proceed with your concept.

And that decision has already been made.

Sir, you can't do this to me.

I need this story.

I need this project.

You said you think the story was good

and it was very promising when it comes to viewer engagement.

Liam, relax.

Relax?

Sir, how can I relax?

The concept that I've long been working on is gone!

You have to understand, Liam.

Television is still very traditional.

Your concept is too high.

It's too modern.

Our audience can't relate to it.

So, what now?

Do I just give it up?

I didn't say that.

What I'm saying is

there are still other platforms we can explore.

What do you mean?

What I'm saying is

there is opportunity for it in the streaming platforms.

Well, generally speaking,

your story is more suitable for the digital audience-

the highly educated ones with disposable income.

Young professionals with unique viewing habits.

So you mean there's still a chance for my show to get produced?

Of course!

That's why I want to introduce you to Charry.

Your timing is perfect, Liam.

I am really looking for creators like you!

See.
