Melting Me Softly (날 녹여주오)

Hey, stop acting up.

Did you hear me? Don't act up.

If you keep acting up, I might just...

start liking you.

What? What are you looking at?

What is it? Is there something behind me?

What? What are you staring at?

How dare you have the guts to stare at your senior like that?

Follow me.

Gosh, it's so hot.

Are you going to keep standing there?

I'll just leave on my own.

Here you go.

I was worried that you might be allergic to stuff...

like strawberries, chocolate, or kiwi.

So I just got you vanilla ice cream.

I'm not allergic to any of those. But...

But what?

But the only flavor I don't eat is vanilla.

You're unbelievable.

Then give it to me. I'll eat it.

You can give me yours.

I can't give you what I already ate. I'll just get you a new one.

You're eating what I already ate.

Here.

Are you sober now?

Yes.

Let's get to work. We have a lot of work to do.

If you drink during working hours one more time, I'll just fire you.

Okay. - You'd better keep your word.

I have a question.

It's about the bureau chief.

Well, from what I know,

you guys used to date...

before you participated in the cryonics experiment.

Are you guys...

still dating?

If you ask me that right now,

wouldn't that affect our current relationship?

Is that why you're asking me? I hope that's not why.

I'm only asking because I'm curious.

She and I are not dating.

Don't smile.

Don't say or do anything...

that might affect our relationship.

Why not?

Do you really not know why?

No, I don't.

We can't get any closer to each other.

If any one of us approaches the other person like this...

Yes, that's right.

The other person should take a step back and maintain a distance.

We should at least stay 0.5m away from each other.

If we get any closer,

it'll be dangerous for us.

Why does it have to be 0.5m?

I guess you've finally decided to do it.

Yes, things turned out that way.

You and I both knew it was going to happen one day.

I'm guessing you're here because you want me to do something for you.

I need the full support of the News Bureau.

First, let's start off by announcing that I was the person...

who was in charge of planning the cryonics experiment.

20 years ago, you tried so hard to keep it a secret.

But now, you want to announce that you were the one in charge?

The situation has changed. Things are different now.

Populism.

My party wants me to use that stance...

to appeal to the people of this country.

I didn't come up with the idea.

There are a lot more writers and directors...

in politics than in an actual broadcasting station.

You need to plan out and be strategic about everything.

Do you know why I transferred to the News Bureau?

I was just a mediocre announcer who used to get criticized...

for my spacing and spelling, but I volunteered to be a reporter.

Do you remember why I did that?

It was so I could find Dong Chan and do a cover on his disappearance.

That's why I became a reporter.

I had to take another test behind your back to become a reporter.

I did that.

And that's how you became...

the Chief of the News Bureau.

I couldn't cover anything whenever that happened.

Because a huge mountain stopped the huge storm from the front...

and the light breeze from the back.

You were such a huge mountain.

Are you sure you can pretend that you were never such a big mountain?

Do you think no one will care about how Ma Dong Chan disappeared,

something you wanted to cover up that badly?

That big mountain is...

still, no,

it became even bigger now.

I'm still a mountain that can stop...

storms and breezes.

The world has changed, sir.

That's why I'm stepping down at perfect timing.

I'm telling you to become an even bigger mountain.

It's only natural for the chief of news to become the president.

I'll cover all the storms and breezes for you.

Then you can bring about...

a new wind with your title as the first female president...

of a TV network.

President Na Ha Young.

Sounds cool.

Gosh, it'll take forever for the writers...

to go through the applications.

Gosh, everyone's attention is on this program...

because it's Mr. Ma's show.

Anyway, why haven't I seen that assistant director...

who's apparently an intern?

Where is she?

Do you want to see the applicants?

Sure. Let me see.

Take this.

This is really cool.

The applicants look great, don't they?

Right.

Do you know who our final boss is?

The president? - It's this.

This cell phone.

I even wish to make a program where people live...

for a week without their phones.

People these days are a slave to these phones.

And do you know how feeble people's relationships are?

Most of them will be broken...

if you turn off their computers and take their phones away.

And people are also getting stupider and stupider.

In about 100 years,

they'll turn back into homo erectus.

You're right. Come to think of it,

I didn't even memorize my brother's number.

Yes, Ko Nam Tae, 0103491974.

Don't think of this as how I'm making a move.

I just memorized your entire family's numbers...

just in case I can't get a hold of you.

I can memorize any numbers once I see them.

I'm sure it's a wonder to you,

but to me, it's just an everyday thing.

Oh, look.

Park Woong Soo, 0101028771.

Do you think I memorized his number because I was interested in him?

It's all because I'm smart.

Is he overreacting or putting up a wall?

Or is he hitting on me?

These are the applicants who made it through three screenings.

Let's put in two of them in each team.

This is an opportunity to save the Variety Department.

We're getting hold of...

future talents in advance.

But all of those interns said they want to work...

with Director Ma Dong Chan.

It's because they never worked with him.

He always bullies people! My gosh!

Did you turn in the budget?

I was about to.

Is that so?

Why don't you do it in a month?

I told you to do it ages ago.

Okay.

Hyun Gi. - Yes?

Yes, what?

How long will you stay here?

You need to move your office next to mine.

Move out.

"Move out"?

Even my landlords didn't say that to me.

What is this?

He's so unpredictable, playing with my heart.

"I might just start liking you."

But then what was that about the 0.5m?

My gosh.

I won't let him walk all over me.

Be careful not to get caught.

No one else should find out...

what your story is, right?

I really don't want Dong Chan...

to get in trouble.

Intern, you must have an amazing connection.

I'm the main writer, but you sent me a text,

and never said hello to me.

Where have you been all day long?

I need to speak with you.

Did you say hi to the writer?

I sent her a text message.

I thought it would be too rude to call her immediately.

She doesn't think so.

She doesn't think texting is a way of communicating.

She only counts a real conversation.

You got on her bad side.

What should I do?

What do you think? You'll be bullied.

She looks mean, but she's even meaner.

I'm sure she has...

some trouble with her autonomic nerves.

Even I get scared of her.

But why do you work with a writer like her?

She writes great scripts, gets good guests, and plans well.

I just need her to do her job.

It's not like I'm going to date her.
