Was It Love? (우리, 사랑했을까)

ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

Ha-nee,

let's just say that he died, okay?

-Why? -Well...

You see, there are some people you'd rather wish were dead.

You'll understand when you're older.

Why?

What? My goodness.

It all started when I realized what it meant to wonder about my dad.

I lost my grip and it fell.

From the time I first realized that doing so would make my mom sad.

Have you all made a wish?

All right, then.

Let's see who blows out the candles first.

Since then, I've wished for the same thing

year after year.

"I wish not to wonder about my dad."

TO MY FUTURE BABY OH

However...

OH YEON-WOO NOH AE-JEONG

My wish...

OH YEON-WOO NOH AE-JEONG

SEPTEMBER 2, 2006 MY PRECIOUS HA-NEE

...did not come true.

Ha-nee, your teacher's here.

-Goodness, welcome. -Hello, Ms. Choi.

Because right now,

I couldn't possibly be more curious about my dad.

EPISODE 3

Fine, I'll admit it.

You've made a name for yourself,

and I'm nothing compared to you.

It's why I'm here today despite how annoyed I am that you've made it.

Is this why

-you wanted to see me? -Yes.

I'm not asking for your approval. It's a notification.

Someone who wrote a story based on me without my permission

doesn't get the right to decline.

Sure.

Consider your notification

delivered.

However, I'm here for another reason.

Will you answer me if I ask you a question?

THUMB FILM

MY FAMILY

All right. Dinner's ready.

Sure.

You have until this glass is emptied.

After that, you'll give me an answer regarding my notification.

Got it.

Then I'll keep it simple and only ask one question.

Where have you been?

Where were you for the last 14 years?

Will you do it with me, then?

What?

Let's do this project together.

Agree to work with me then I'll tell you why we broke up.

Why are you laughing? I don't believe I told a joke.

Ae-jeong.

Did you think you could bargain a contract with me

over our silly little breakup?

You must think I'm still not over you.

I'm Cheon Eok-man for crying out loud.

I'm no longer the Oh Dae-o you used to know.

I'm the renowned author Cheon Eok-man.

So?

Hearing about why we broke up

isn't worth signing this contract.

I gain nothing from it.

It'd be more effective

to ask for my help in saving your life from going down the drain.

You never know.

I may come to your aid for old times' sake.

I said I'd only talk until that glass was emptied.

Goodbye, then.

-Noh Ae-jeong! -Yes, Mr. Cheon?

You may think otherwise,

but I'm not here to beg and grovel.

I'm here to propose a movie.

I had no intention to score this deal by making you pity me.

However, you seemed curious about what happened 14 years ago,

and I didn't want you to keep on wondering.

Anyway, I'm glad

because breaking up with you was the best thing I ever did.

Still,

hung up on me or not,

don't you need to know why?

Your book, Love Is Nonexistent .

It has great value to you

since it kick-started your career as an author.

it never got any public attention.

There's a reason why it stayed buried all these years.

What did you just say?

It was written from the perspective of the male lead...

In other words,

it could only be written from your perspective

because you never knew why I broke up with you.

If you wish to finally complete this story,

you have no choice but to work with me.

You should be ashamed to call yourself an author,

if you don't care that much about your own work.

That being said, you'll now never get the chance to complete this story.

I am no longer interested in making a movie with an asshole.

Yes, Jin?

Kwae-nam, you need to get over here.

It's an emergency.

An emergency...?

An emergency? Where? What? Why?

-Here he comes. -Is that him?

-Jin! -Jin!

-Seriously? -Unbelievable.

Excuse me, isn't Ryu Jin inside?

-Wait... -He's inside, right?

-Where is he? -I'm practically locked up.

I can't get out.

What? By whom?

Who the hell locked you in there?

Can you keep it down? They'll hear you.

Right, sorry.

Anyway, I've been sitting on the toilet for hours.

-Get your priorities straight. -Of course.

Who on earth has the audacity to lock up the nation's sweetheart?

There's one.

The one that got away.

What was it you just said?

I didn't hear you.

And here's the main dish for today.

Ms. Choi, this is more than generous.

Don't be too excited though.

My grandma isn't really that good of a cook.

What's wrong with my cooking?

Ask the restaurants you ran that went under--

My cooking wasn't to blame.

A virus broke out making it hard

to serve pork and chicken.

I was hit with a stream of bad luck.

As if that was the only reason--

Anyway, I tried this and that

before settling as a body scrubber at the nearby sauna.

I'm sure you remember

how I was a well-known body scrubber

back when I ran a bathhouse.

Yes, of course.

I remember going there myself.

What about my mom?

What?

Do you share any memories with my mom?

Ha-nee, have some braised tofu.

I see you like tofu. It's my favorite too, you know.

-Tofu? -Yes, we must have similar palates.

And? What else do you like?

What's with all the questions?

You're keeping him from eating his dinner.

Grandma!

Anyway, are you married?

No, not yet.

I see.

Where are you currently living, then?

Nearby, but I'll have to move soon.

If only I can find a decent place.

Goodness me. We have a few spare rooms here.

They were actually put on the market recently.

The landlady is long-time friends with Ae-jeong,

so I could ask for a discount.

-Grandma! -Still,

I don't know if it'll be appropriate for me to move in.

Shouldn't you get Mom's permission first?

As if that's necessary.

You have no idea how close they are.

"Close"?

-Are you sure about this? -Of course.

Mr. Oh.

Hey, Ha-nee. What is it? Are you off to somewhere?

That's not it. You forgot this.

Gosh, how silly of me.

Thanks.

Mr. Oh,

What was your relationship with my mom?

OUT OF BUSINESS

FOR RENT

How should I put it?

Someone I wanted

to take care of?

Yes, of course, he's a great person.

Thank you, Sook-hee.

I'll make sure that he pays rent on time.

Sure, good night.

Are you sure about this?

-What? -Mr. Oh.

Is it okay for him to live here?

Did you offer the room

for some other reason?

-Did you? -Goodness. It must be your mom.

-Ae-jeong, is that you? -Darn it.

Mom, I have something to ask.

-A special someone came by-- -Mom, listen--

Guys.

I'm sorry about this,

but I need to stay clear of any unnecessary stress.
